Hadith 5

Prophet-saww. You-ra were best of the brothers and were best of the companions ‘. Then he-asws cried, and Ammar-ra cried, then said, ‘By Allah-azwj! O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I-ra did not follow you-asws except by insight, for I-ra heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying one the day of (battle of) Hunayn: ‘O Ammar! Fitna will be occurring after me-saww. So, when that happens, then follow Ali-asws and his-asws party, for he-asws is with the truth and the truth is with him-asws, and after me-saww you-ra will be fighting the allegiance-breakers and the deviants’. O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! May Allah-azwj Recompense you-asws on behalf of, the most superior of the recompenses, for you-asws have fulfilled, and delivered, and advised’. Then he-ra rode, and Amir Al-Momineen-asws rode. Then he-ra went out to the fighting, then called for a drink of water. It was said, ‘There is no water with us’. A man from the Helpers stood up to him-asws and quenched him-asws a drink of milk, and he-ra drank it, then said, ‘That is how Rasool-Allah-saww had pacted to me-ra, that it would be happening as the last of my-ra provision from the world, a drink of milk’. Then he-ra attacked upon the people and killed eighteen souls. Two men from the people of Syria came out to him-ra and stabbed him-ra and he-ra was killed, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him-ra. When it was the night, Amir Al-Momineen-asws went around the slain, and found Ammar-ra thrown. He-asws made his-ra head upon his-asws thigh, then cried and prosed saying: ‘Whoever dies, how much of this separation is forced, so there doesn’t remain for me-asws a friend. I-asws see you-ra as being insightful with the ones you-ra love them, as if you-ra are going towards them with the evidence’’. [21]
And it is reported by Al Sharih, from Ibn A’sam, ‘When Ammar-ra, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him-ra, went to duel on the day of Siffeen, he-ra said, ‘O you people! Is there anyone to depart to Allah-azwj seeking the Paradise beneath the shadow of blades? Today I-ra will meet the beloved Muhammad-saww and his-saww party’. Ibn Jawn stabbed him-ra in his-ra chest. He-ra returned and said, ‘Quench me-asws a drink of water’. His slave Rashid brought him-ra some milk. When he-ra saw it he-ra exclaimed Takbeer and said, ‘This is what my-ra beloved Rasool-Allah-saww had informed me-ra with that the last of my-ra provisions from the world would be a cup of milk’. When he-ra drank, it came out from the place of the injury, and he-ra fell down and died, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him-ra. Ali-asws came to him-ra and said: ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj! A man who the calamity from the killing of Ammar does not enter upon him, so he is not in anything from ’. Then he-asws prayed Salat upon him-ra and recited these two couplets (as above)’’. [22]
