Hadith 36

community’. Nasr (the narrator) said, ‘And Amro returned to his house from Dowmat Al-Jandal and wrote to Muawiya, (couplets), ‘I have given you the caliphate decorated lavishly. Congratulations, welcome, the eyes are delighted, decorated to you with the decoration of the bride, with the slightest of your stabbing the house in the eye’. – up to the end of the couplets’. Saeed Bin Qays Al-Hamdany stood up and said, ‘By Allah-azwj! If we were to unite upon the guidance, you two would not increase upon what we are upon it now, and your straying is not necessitated to us, and you have not returned except with what you have begun with, and today we are upon what we were upon yesterday’. Kurdous Bin Haby said angrily and prosed couplets regarding the agreement with the caliphate of Ali-asws and denying the caliphate of Muawiya, and judgment of the two judges. And another group spoke with similar to that. Nasr (the narrator) said, ‘And it so happened that when Ali-asws heard of what Amro has deceived Abu Musa with, that saddened him-asws, and it worsened him-asws, and he-asws addressed the people and said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! And if the time comes with fierce speeches, and the solemn events’ – up to the end of what will come in the report of Seyyid Al-Razy, may Allah-azwj be Pleased from him. And he-asws said: ‘Indeed! These two men, the ones you chose, have discarded the Judgment of the Book, and revived what had died, and each one of them follow his personal opinion and judged without any argument nor any proof, nor a Sunnah of the past, and they differed in what they judged. Allah-azwj did not Guide both of them, and they prepared for the Jihad and prepared for the journey, and became among their armies like such and such day’. Nasr said, ‘After the arbitration, whenever Ali-asws prayed the morning and Al-Maghrib Salat, and was free from his-asws and performed Salaat, said, ‘O Allah-azwj! Curse Muawiya, and Amro, and Abu Musa, and Habeeb Bin Maslama, and Abdul Rahman Bin Khalid, and Al-Zahhak Bin Qays, and Al-Waleed Bin Uqba’. That reached Muawiya, so whenever he prayed Salat, he cursed Ali-asws, and Hassan-asws, and Husayn-asws, and Ibn Abbas, and Qays Bin Sa’ad Bin Ubada, and Al-Ashtar’. And Ibn Dezeel increases among the companions of Muawiya, Abu Al-Awr Al-Sulamy. And it is reported by Ibn Dezeel as well that Abu Musa wrote to Ali-asws from Makkah, ‘As for after, it has reached me that you-asws are cursing me during the Salat, and the ignorant ones behind you-asws are saying, ‘Ameen’, and I am saying just as Musa-as had said: He said: ‘My Lord! Due to what You Conferred upon me, so I will never be a backer for the criminals’ [28: 17]’’. [151]
