Hadith 243

afiyya. He-asws said: ‘Have you memorised what I-asws have bequeathed with to your brothers-asws? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘So, I-asws am bequeathing to you with the like of it, and I-asws advise you with honouring your two brothers-asws due to their-asws mighty rights upon you, so do not prefer any person besides them-asws both’. Then he-asws said: ‘I-asws bequeath to both of you-asws with him, for he is your-asws full brother, and son of your-asws father-asws, and you-asws have known that your-asws father-asws was loving him’. And he-asws said to Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws: ‘O my-asws sons-asws! Be with fear of Allah-azwj and establish the Salat at its timings, and give the Zakat at its place, for there is no Salat except with purification, nor will the Salat be Accepted from the one who refuses to give the Zakat. And I-asws bequeath you with forgiving the sin (wrong done by someone), and swallowing the anger, and connecting with the relatives, and the leniency from the ignoramus, and the Taqeeya (dissimulation) in the religion, and steadfastness in the matters, and enjoining with the good and forbidding from the evil and shunning the immoralities’. When the death presented, he-asws bequeathed, and his-asws bequest was: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! This is what is bequeathed by Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’. [72]
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And he continued up to the end of what I shall be coming with in the report of Al-Kulayni. Then he said, ‘And he-asws did not speak except with: ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj until he-asws passed away in the month of Ramazan of the year forty, and he-asws was washed by Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws and Abdullah son of Ja’far-asws, and was enshrouded in three shrouds, there wasn’t any pocket in it; and Al-Hassan-asws exclaimed nine Takbeers upon him-asws, and he-asws forbade from trampling (dead body of Ibn Muljim-la. He-asws said: ‘O sons of Abdul Muttalib-as: ‘I-asws anticipate you will be wading in the blood of Muslims. You will be saying, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws had been killed! ’ Indeed! Do no kill (anyone other than) my-asws killer due to me-asws. Look (await), O Hassan-asws! If I-asws were to die from this strike of mine, the strike him-la with a strike, and do not trample the man (Ibn Muljim-la), for I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-azwj saying: ‘Beware of the trampling, and even if it is with the mordacious dog! ’’
When he-asws passed away, Al-Hassan-asws sent for Ibn Muljim-la. He-asws killed him-la and the people wrapped him-la in the sticks and burnt him-la. And he-la had concluded to Al-Hassan-asws saying, ‘By Allah-azwj! I-la had not given any oath to Allah-azwj except I-la have been loyal with it. I-la made a pact to Allah-azwj that I-la shall kill Ali-asws and Muawiya or I-asws will die (trying) with them. So, if you-asws do desire, free between me-la and him (Muawiya), and Allah-azwj is for you-asws based upon that I-la kill him. And if I-la do kill him and live, I-la shall come to you-asws until I-la place my-la hand in your-asws hand (pledging allegiance)’. He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj, until you-la witness the Fire! ’ Then he-asws had him-la brought forward and killed him-la’’. [73]
