Hadith 197

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the Sheykh Al Tusi – Al Mufeed, from the scribe, from Al Zafrany, from Al Saqafi, from Muhammad Bin Usman, from Abu Abdullah Al Aslami, from Musa Bin Abdullah Al Asadi who said, ‘When the people of Al-Basra were defeated, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws ordered for Ayesha to be lodged in the house of Ibn Abu Khalaf. When she lodged, Ammar Bin Yasser came to her. He said, ‘O mother! How do you view the striking of your son in defence of their religion, with the sword? ’ She said, ‘You are insightful, O Ammar, you prevailed’. He said, ‘I am of more insight than that. By Allah-azwj! Even if you had struck us until you reached us at the branches of the palm tree, we would still have known we are upon the truth, and you are upon the falsehood’. Ayesha said to him, ‘Like is your imagination to you. Fear Allah-azwj, O Ammar! You have aged and have become old, and your bones are brittle, and your term is ending, and your religion has gone to the son-asws of Abu Talib-asws’. Ammar, may Allah-azwj have mercy on him, said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I have chosen for myself among the companions of Rasool-Allah-saww, and I saw Ali-asws to be their most well-read of the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and their most learned of its interpretation, and their most intense in reverence of its sanctity, and their most understanding with the Sunnah, along with his-asws relationship from Rasool-Allah-saww, and his-asws magnificent efforts, and his-asws (suffering) afflictions in ’. She was silent’’. [76]
