Hadith 140

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ – of the sheykh Al Tusi – Abu Amro, from Ibn Uqdah, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Affan, from Husayn Bin Atiya, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah Bin Ata’a, from Abdullah Bin Bureydah, from his father who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, each one of them along, and he-saww gathered them. He-saww said: ‘When you are both together, then upon you is Ali-asws! ’ They took to right and left. He (the narrator) said, ‘Ali-asws took a benefit and he attained something. He-asws took a girl from the Khums. Bureyda said, ‘And I was of intense hatred to Ali-asws, and Khalid Bin Al-Waleed knew that. A man came to Khalid and informed him that he-asws had taken a girl from the Khums. Then another one came. Then the news was consecutive upon that. Khalid called me and said, ‘O Bureyda! You have recognised that which he-asws has done, so go with this letter of mine to Rasool-Allah-saww and inform him-saww’. And he wrote to him-saww. So, I went with his letter until I entered to see Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww took the letter and withheld it in his-saww left hand. And it happened just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said, he-saww neither writes nor reads (from his-saww own self), and I was such a man, whenever I spoke, I would lower my head until I would be free from my need. So, I lowered my head and spoke, and I fell into backbiting until I was free. Then I raised my heard and I saw Rasool-Allah-saww having been angered with (severe) anger, I had not seen him-saww angered like it, at all except on the day of (clans of) Qureyza and Al-Nazeer. He-saww looked at me and said: ‘O Bureyda! Ali-asws is your guardian after me-saww, so love Ali-asws, for rather he-asws does whatever he-asws is Commanded’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I stood up and there was no one more beloved to me than him-asws. And Abdullah Bin Ata’a said, ‘I narrate that to Haris Bin Suweyd Bin Gafala. He said, ‘Abdullah Bin Bureyda has concealed part of the Hadeeth. Rasool-Allah-saww had said: ‘Will you be a hypocrite after me-saww, O Bureyda? ’’[56]
