Hadith 126

and the munificence. He-asws did not say: ‘No’, to any beggar at all. And his-asws enemies and his-asws haters said, ‘The one who strived hard in stigmatising him-asws and faulting him-asws was Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan to Mihfan Bin Abu Mihfan Al-Zaby, when he said, ‘I have come to you from the presence of the stingiest of the people, ‘Woe be unto you! How can you be saying he-asws is stingiest of the people? And if he-asws had owned a house (made of) god and a house of clay, he-asws would have spent (given away) his-asws gold before his-asws clay’. And he-asws is the one who had swept the public treasury (after distributing it to people) and prayed Salat in it, and he-asws is the one who said, ‘O yellow (gold), and O white (silver), deceive others! ’ And he-asws is the one who did not leave any inheritance, and the world, all of it, was in his-asws hand except what had happened from Syria. And as for the leniency and the pardoning, he-asws was the more lenient of the people of a sin, and the most pardoning from an evil deed, and his-asws pardon was apparent, what we have transmitted, about the day of the camel when he-asws had won with Marwan Bin Al-Hakam, and he was the most inimical of the people towards him-asws, and of the severest hatred, but he-asws pardoned him. And Abdullah Bin Al-Zubeyr used to revile him-asws on the heads of the witnessed, and he had addressed on the day of Al-Basra. He said, ‘The wretched rogue Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws has come to you all’, and Ali-asws was saying: ‘Al-Zubeyr had not ceased to be a man from us-asws, People-asws of the Household, until Abdullah was a youth’. He-asws had won with him on the day of the camel and took him as a captive, but he-asws pardoned him and said: ‘Go, so I-asws will not see you (again)! ’ He-asws did not add to him upon that. And he-asws won with Saeed Bin Al-Aas after the event of the camel, at Makkah, and he has an enemy of his-asws, but he-asws only turned his-asws face away from him and did not say anything to him. And he-asws had known what had happened from Ayesha regarding his-asws matter. When he-asws had won with her, he-asws honoured her and sent twenty women of Abdul Qays with her to Al-Medina, clothing them with turbans and collaring them with the swords. When she was in one of the roads, she mentioned what is not allowed to be mentioned with, and she appealed and said, ‘He-asws violated my secret with his-asws men and his-asws army, those he-asws had allocated them with me’. When she arrived at Al-Medina, the women threw away their turbans and they said to her, ‘But rather, we are women’. And the people of Al-Basra battled him-asws and they had struck his-asws face and faces of his-asws children with the sword, and they reviled him-asws and cursed him-asws. When he-asws had won with them, he-asws raised the sword away from them and his caller called out in the ends of the army, ‘Indeed!
