Hadith 82

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub –
‘During Laylat Al-Hareer (battle of Siffeen), their Salats of Al-Zohr, and Al-Asr, and Al-Maghrib, and Al-Isha did not take happen at the time of each Salat except the exclamations of Takbeer (Allah-azwj is the Greatest), and the Tahleel (There is no god except Allah-azwj ), and the Tasbeeh (Glorification), and the Tahmeed (The Praise is for Allah-azwj), and the supplications. So, that was their Salat. He-asws did not ask them with fulfilling these. And he-asws neither pursued their fleer, nor allowed (attack) upon their injured, and did not make captives of their offspring, and he-asws did not refuse from them marrying and inheriting’’. [143]
Abu Ali Al Jabaie said in Kitab Al Hakameyn –
‘That which has been reported it is that he-asws had captured a group from the Kharijites. They had reneged, and became Christians, and Alyan the insane was staying at Al-Kufa, and he used to have a shop of grinding flour. When the children gathered to him and bothered him, he said, ‘The combat is hot and the battle is good, and I am upon an insight from my affairs’. He leapt and hummed and prosed, ‘Show me my weapon, may there be no father for you! I see the war not increasing except for continuing’. Then he grabbed a stick to install it. When he was taking it, he said (in prose), ‘I am severe upon the battalion. I don’t care whether I am regarded as brave in it or besides it’. He said, ‘The children were defeated in front of it. When he met some of them, the child threw himself to the ground. He paused at him and said, ‘Shame of a Muslims and protection of a Momin, and had it not been that, the soul of Amro Bin Al-Aas would have been damaged on the day of Siffeen’. Then he said, ‘The captives among you are by the conduct of Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Neither pursue a fleer, nor attack upon an injured’. Then he returned to his place and said (in prose), ‘I am a man of striking whom you recognise, fearful like the head of a snake, the fierce’’. [144]
