s nor from them was seen to be in-charge. When they came to the morning, and that was the third day, the people came out to their rows. Abu Nuh said, ‘I was among the cavalry of Ali-asws, and there I was with a man from the people of Syria saying, ‘Who will point me to Al-Himeyri Abu Nuh? ’ I said, ‘You have found him, so who are you? ’
He said, ‘I am Zul Kala’a. Come towards me’. Abu Muaz said, ‘I will only go towards you in a battalion’. Zul Kala’a said, ‘Come, for you is a Guarantee of Allah-azwj and guarantee of His-azwj Rasool-saww and guarantee of Zul Kala’a, until you return to your cavalry, for rather I want by that to ask you about a matter among you we have quarrelled regarding it’.
