Hadith 325

asked them to hand over the killers of my-asws brethren from them to me-asws for us to kill them due to them. Then the Book of Allah-azwj is a Judge between me-asws and them. But, they refused to me-asws and they fought me-asws while in their necks was my-asws allegiance, and the blood of about a thousand of my-asws Shias. So, you killed them due to that. Or are you in doubt from that? ’
He said, ‘I was in doubt, but as for now, so I have understood and it is clear to me the mistake of the people, and you-asws are the Guided, the correct’. Then Ali-asws prepared to descend. Men stood up to speak, but when they saw him-asws to have descended, they sat down and did not speak. Abu Al-Kanoud said, ‘And Abu Burdah was with his-asws presence at Siffeen being hypocritical to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he wrote to Muawiya secretly. When Muawiya appeared, he cut him into pieces at Fallujah, and he used to be benevolent upon him’’. [2]
(The book) ‘Al Kafiya Fi Ibtal Tawbah al Khatiya’ – From Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws, when he-asws was near to Al-Kufa returning from Al-Basra, the people came out with Qaraza Bin Ka’ab to receive him. They met him besides a river of Al-Nazar Bin Ziyad. They came near him congratulating him-asws for the victory, and he-asws wiped the sweat from his-asws forehead. Qaraza Bin Ka’ab said to him-asws, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, the One-azwj Who Endeared your-asws friend and Disgraced your-asws enemy, and Helped you-asws against group of the rebels, tyrants, oppressors’. Abdullah Bin Wahab Al-Rasy said to him-asws, ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj! They are the rebels, the oppressors, the Kafirs, the associators (Mushriks)’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to him: ‘May your mother be bereft of you! How strong you are with the falsehood, and audacious upon saying what you do not know. You have nullified, O Ibn Al-Sowdah. The group isn’t as you are saying. If they were associators (Mushrik), we would have made them captives, and taken their wealth as war booty, and would not marry them, nor inherit them’’. [3]
Ibn Abi Al Hadeed said in commentary of (the book) ‘Nahj’ (Al Balagah)’, ‘Nasr Bin Muzahim said in the book ‘Siffeen’, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws entered Al-Kufa after his-asws return from Al-Basra, and with him were noblemen from the people of Al-Basra and others. The people of Al-Kufa received them, among them were their readers and their noblemen. They called out to him-asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Where will you-asws descend (lodge)? Will you-asws descend at the castle (government building)? ’ He-asws said: ‘No, but I-asws shall descend at Al-Rahba’. He-asws descended at it and came until he-asws entered the great Masjid and prayed Salat in it, two Cycle. Then he-asws ascended the pulpit. He-asws praised Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, and he-asws sent Salawaat upon His-azwj Rasool-saww’. Then he-asws said: ‘As for after, O people of Al-Kufa! There is a merit for you in for as long as you do not replace, or change. You were called to the truth, so you answered, and you had begun with the denial, and you changed. Indeed! Your merit is in what is between you and Allah-azw
