Hadith 12

ions of the camel were (not) upon the straying! ’ He-asws said: ‘O Haris! You looked beneath you (at the apparent) and did not look above you (at the truth), so you are confused. You did not recognise the truth, so you could recognise its people, and did not recognise the falsehood, so you could recognise who came to it’. Al-Haris said, ‘I shall isolate along with Sa’ad Bin Malik and Abdullah Bin Umar’. He-asws said: ‘Sa’ad and Abdullah did not help the truth and did not abandon the falsehood’’. [73]
Kitab Al Gharaat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi, by his chain from Zazan who said, ‘I went with Qanbar to Ali-asws. He said, ‘Arise, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, for I have hidden a deposit for you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘What is it? ’ He said, ‘Arise with me’. He-asws stood up and went to his house, and there was a container filled with a collection of gold and silver. He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! You-asws do not leave anything except you-asws distribute it, so I have hoarded this for you-asws’. Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws would have loved it if you could have entered a lot of fire into my-asws house (instead)! ’ He-asws unsheathed his-asws sword and struck it, and it scattered from between the cut pieces of the container, half or its third. Then he-asws said: ‘distribute it with the quotas’. They did so, and Ali-asws went on to say (a couplet): ‘This is my-asws crime and his choice in it when each betrayer, his hand is to his mouth’. Then he-asws said: ‘O white (silver) and O yellow (gold)! Deceive someone else! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘In the house was a handle and some sewing needles. He-asws said: ‘Distribute this’. They said, ‘There is no need for us regarding it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he-asws used to take from each worker from what he had worked: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-asws soul! We shall take its evil with its good’’. [74]
And from Habeeb Bin Abu Sabit having said, ‘Abdullah son of Ja’far-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said to Ali-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! If you-asws could order with (financial) assistance or expense monies for me, for by Allah-azwj, there is no expense money for me except if I were to sell part of my fodder’. He-asws said to him: ‘No, by Allah-azwj! I-asws do not find for you except if you are instructing your uncle-asws to steal and give it to you’’. [75]
(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – Al-Ash’as Bin Qays sought permission to see Ali-asws, but Qanbar returned him, so he bled his nose. Ali-asws came out and said: ‘What is that, O Ash’as! But, by Allah-azwj! But, by Allah-azwj! If you had passed by a slave of Saqeef, your hair would have stood on its ends’. He said, ‘And who is the slave of Saqeef? ’ He-asws said: ‘A slave ruling them. There will not remain any house of the Arabs except he would enter the disgrace into them’. He said, ‘How long will he rule for? ’ He-asws said: ‘Twenty (years), if he reaches it’. Then the reported said, ‘Al-Hajjaj ruled in the year seventy-five and died in the year ninety-five’’. [76]
