And Amir Al-Momineen-asws was arranging his-asws companions and forbidding that any of them to advance to them, and the first one from the Kharijites to come out for the duel was Akhnas Bin Al-Aziz Al-Taie, and he went on to say (a poem), ‘Eighty from the tribe of Jadeelah were killed by the river. They were dyed at the high ground, calling out, ‘There is no judgment except for our Lord-azwj! ’ Mercy is for You-azwj! Forgive our sins and our evil deeds. They have separated from sheltering in the Judgment of Allah-azwj, so everyone has become secondary to the Beneficent! ’
Amir Al-Momineen-asws killed him. And Abdullah Bin Wahab Al-Rasy came out saying (a poem), ‘I am the son of Wahab Al-Rasy Al-Shary. I shall strike among the people to take the retaliation, until the government of the evil is removed, and the truth returned to the good ones! ’
And Malik Bin Al-Wazah came out and said (a couplet), ‘I am selling what is to perish for the eternal life, and I do not want the satire to please’. And Al-Wazah Bin Al-Wazah came out to Amir Al-Momineen-asws from one side, and the son of his uncle Hurqous from one (another) side. Amir Al-Momineen-asws killed Al-Wazah and he-asws struck a strike upon the head of Al-Hurqous and cut him, and the head (sharp-end) of his-asws sword fell upon the horse, so it was startled, and his legs were in the stirrups, until it dropped him in the desolated water-wheel, and the Harouriya (Kharijites) became like ashes the wind blows hard upon during a stormy day. [14: 18]. The ones from the companions of Ali-asws slain were Rowbah Bin Wabar Al-bajaly, and Rifa’at Bin Wail Al-Arhaby, and Al-Fayyaz Bin Khaleel Al-Azdy, and Keysoum Bin Salamah Al-Jumhy, and Habeeb Bin Aasim Al-Azdy up to the complete nine; and from the Kharijites nine fled just as its mention has preceded, and that (happened) on the nine (days) vacated from Safar of the year thirty-eight’’. [89]
Abu Nueym Al Asfahany, from Sufyan Al Sowry, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws ordered that there should be an investigation regarding the one-armed (man) between the slain, but they could not find him. A man said, ‘By Allah-azwj! He is not among them’. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! Neither have I-asws lied not have I-asws been lied to’’. [90]
Tareekh Al Tabari, and Ibn Battah highlighted, and Sunan of Ibn Dawood, and Musnad of Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Abu Rafie, and Abu Musa Al Waily, and Jundab, and Abu Al Wazy, and the words of it, said, ‘Ali-asws said: ‘Seek the one-armed one! ’ They said, ‘We could not find him’. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! Neither have I-asws lied nor have I-asws been lied to. O Ajlan! Bring to me the mule of Rasool-Allah-saww! ’ He came with the mule.
