Hadith 1

y came to Al-Basra, and its people were gathering upon pledging allegiance to me-asws and obey me-asws, and at it were my-asws Shias, treasurers of the public treasury of the wealth of Allah-azwj and wealth of the Muslims. They called the people to disobey me-asws and to break my-asws allegiance. The one who obeyed them, they let him go, and one who disobeyed them, they killed him. Hakeem Bin Habala battled them, and they killed him among seventy men from the worshippers of the people of Al-Basra, and their humble ones, named as the ‘dried up ones’, it is as if they were like the dried palms of the camels. And Yazeed Bin Al-Haris Al-Tashkury refused to pledge allegiance to them. He said, ‘Fear Allah-azwj! If the first of you is guiding us to the Paradise, so we will not guide the last of you to the Fire. You cannot encumber us to ratify the claimant and break upon the absentee. As for my right hand, so it is pre-occupied with my allegiance to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and this here is my left hand is free. Take it if you (both) like’. He was suffocated until he died. And Abdullah Bin Hakeem Al-Tameemi stood up and said, ‘O Talha! Do you recognise this letter? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘This is my letter to you’.

They expelled him from Al-Basra and they seized the office bearers of Usman Bin Huneyf Al-Ansari treacherously, and they tortured him with every torture, and they plucked out every hair from his head and face, and they killed my-asws Shias – a group by execution, and a group by treachery, and a group they attacked by their swords until they met Allah-azwj. By Allah-azwj! Even if they had not killed from them except one man, (shedding) their blood would have been Permissible for me-asws, and the blood of the army due to their agreeing with the killing of the ones killed. Leave it, along with that they had killed more from the worshippers, those they had entered upon them, and Allah-azwj has Pointed about them: Therefore, remoteness is for the unjust people [23: 41]. As for Talha, Marwan shot at him with an arrow and killed him; and as for Al-Zubeyr, I-asws reminded him of the words of Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘You (Al-Zubeyr) would be fighting against Ali-asws and you will be an oppressor to him-asws’. And as for Ayesha, she had been forbidden by Rasool-Allah-saww from her travelling, she bit her hands in regret upon what had happened from her. And when Talha had descended at Za Qaar, he addressed saying, ‘O you people! We have made a mistake regarding Usman with such a mistake, we cannot come out from it except by seeking his blood, and Ali-asws is his killer, and upon him-asws is his blood’. And he had descended in houses with the doubters of Al-Yemen, and Christians of Rabie, and hypocrites of (tribe of) Muzar. When his words reached
