Hadith 389

th each other. Indeed! The Law of the religion is one, and its ways are the aim. One who takes with it would catch up, and one who separates from it would be obliterated, and one who neglects it would pass through. The Muslim wouldn’t be with the betrayal when entrusted, nor with the breaking when he promises, nor with the lies when he speaks. We-asws are People-asws of the Household of Mercy, and our-asws words are true, and our-asws deeds are the moderate, and from us-asws is the last of the Prophets-as and among us are guides of, and among us-asws are bearers of the Book. We-asws are only calling you to Allah-azwj and to His-azwj Rasool-saww, and to Jihad against His-azwj enemies, and the intensity regarding His-azwj Commands, and seeking His-azwj Pleasure, and establishing the Salat and giving the Zakaat, and performing Hall of the House (Kabah) and fasting month of Ramazan, and full measure of the war booty upon its rightful ones. Indeed! And from the surprises of all surprises is that Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan, the Umayyid, and Amro Bin Al-Aas Al-Sahmy have both become urging upon seeking the religion by their claims, and you have known that I-asws have not opposed Rasool-Allah-saww at all, and did not disobey him-asws any matter at all. I-asws saved him-saww by myself in the place which the heroes withdrew, and the brave limbs shuddered. Allah-azwj the Glorious Honoured me-asws with it, and for Him-azwj is the Praise, and Rasool-Allah-saww had passed away and his-saww head was in my-asws lap, and I-asws was in-charge of his-saww washing by my-asws hands along, the Angels of Proximity were turning him-saww. And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj! The community had not been left at all after its Prophet-saww except the people of falsehood prevailed over the people of its rights, except what Allah-azwj so Desired’’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Sinan Al-Asady said, ‘I heard Ammar Bin Yasser saying, ‘As for Amir Al-Momineen-asws, so he-asws is your most learned. The community did not stand upright upon him-asws at first, and it will never stand upright upon him-asws last! ’ Then the people dispersed and their insights had depleted’’. [11]
