Hadith 147

oral friends of the tyrants and the oppressors, those who hindered from the Way of Allah-azwj and rebelled against crookedly. Indeed, and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr has been martyred, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, and with Allah-azwj is his Reckoning. But, by Allah-azwj! It has happened what you know, he was awaiting the Ordainment, and working for the Recompense, and hating the form of the immoral, and he loved the manners of the Momin. And by Allah-azwj I-asws do not blame myself-asws upon the deficiency nor inability, and for me-asws to suffer from the war is a glorious sight. I-asws advance to the war and I-asws know its face, aspect of the defeat, and I-asws stand by the correct opinion. So, I-asws cry out to you openly, and I-asws call out to you for help, but you are not listening to any word of mine-asws, nor are you obeying any orders of mine until the affairs come to the evil end-results. You are a people the retaliation will not be realised by you nor will the tendencies be lacking with you. You are being called to help your brethren since more than five nights, but you are dragging your feet upon me-asws, dragging of the captive camel, and you are being sluggish to the ground, the sluggishness of the one having no intention for him regarding the Jihad nor is there any view for him regarding earning the Recompense. Then there came out to me-asws weak soldiers, lethargic (exhausted), It is as if they are being driven to the death and they are looking on [8: 6]. So, ugh to you all! ’ Then he-asws descended and entered to where his-asws belongings were’’. [64]
Ibrahim said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Al Madainy who said, ‘Ali-asws wrote to Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas and he was (a governor) upon Al-Basra: ‘From a servant of Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen, to Abdullah Bin Abbas. Greetings be unto you and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings. As for after, Egypt has been conquered and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr has been martyred, and in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic we shall have his Reckoning. And I-asws had given instructions to the people and preceded to them in the beginning of the matter and ordered them with supporting him before the event, and I-asws called them secretly and openly, and repeatedly and initiating. From them were those who disliked, and from them was the invalid liar, and from them was the one sitting back, forsaking. I ask Allah-azwj that He-azwj Make a relief to be for me-asws from them, and that He-azwj Give me-asws rest from them immediately. But Allah-azwj! Had it not been my-asws wishing to meet the enemy regarding the martyrdom, and settling myself-asws at that, I-asws would have loved it that I-asws do not remain with them even for one day. May Allah-azwj Determine for us and you to be upon His-azwj fear and His-azwj Guidance. He-azwj is Able upon all things, and the greetings be unto you all, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abdullah Bin Al Abbas wrote to him-asws, ‘To a servant of Allah-azwj Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, from Abdullah Bin Abbas. Greetings be unto Amir Al-Momineen-asws,
