Hadith 255

n’. Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘And do you-asws know when that would happen, O father-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘O my-asws son-asws! Allah-azwj is Saying: and no soul knows what it would be earning the next day; and no soul knows in which land it shall die. Surely Allah is Knowing, Aware [31: 34]. But my-asws beloved Rasool-Allah-saww had covenanted to me-asws that it would be happening in the last ten (days) from a month of Ramazan. Ibn Muljim Al-Murady-la would be killing me-asws’. I-asws said to him-asws: ‘O father-asws! Since you-asws know that, then kill him-la! ’
He-asws said: ‘O my-asws son-asws! The retaliation is not allowed except after the crime, and the crime has not yet ensued from him-la. O my-asws son-asws! Even if the two forces of the human beings and the Jinn were to unite upon repelling that, they would not be able to. O my-asws son-asws! Return to your-asws bed’. Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘O father-asws! I-asws want to go with you-asws to the place of your-asws Salat’. He-asws said to him: ‘I-saww swear by my-asws right upon you-asws! Return to your-asws bed, lest your-asws sleep be spoilt upon you-asws, and do not disobey me-asws in that’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Al-Hassan-asws returned, and found his-asws sister-asws standing behind the door awaiting him-asws. He-asws entered and informed her-asws with that, and they sat down discussing, and they were saddened until the slumber overcame upon them-asws. So, they stood up and entered to their beds, and slept. Abu Mikhnaf and others said, ‘And Amir Al-Momineen-asws went until he-asws entered the Masjid, and the lamps had dimmed their lights. He-asws prayed Salat in the Masjid alone and follow-up (acts of worship) for a while. Then he-asws stood up and prayed two Cycles Salat. Then he-asws went on top of the minaret and placed his-asws two forefingers in his-asws ears and cleared his-asws throat, then proclaimed Azaan. And it was so that whenever he-asws proclaimed Azaan, there did not remain any house in the city of Al-Kufa except his-asws voice penetrated it. The reporter said, ‘And as for Ibn Al Muljim-la, he-la spent the night thinking within himself-la what he-asws should be doing. At times he-la was faulting himself-la and rebuking it and fearing from the consequences of his-la deed among them and retracting from that, and at time he-la was remembering Qatam, may Allah-azwj Curse her, and her attraction, and her beauty, and the abundance of her wealth. He-la inclined himself-la towards her. He-la remained most of the night (tossing and) turning upon him-la and chanting with that poetry of his-la, when the accursed woman came to him-la and she slept with him-la in his-la bed, and said to him-la, ‘O you-la! Can one who is upon this determination, sleep? ’ He-la said to her, ‘By Allah-azwj! I-la shall kill him-asws for you right now! ’
She said, ‘Kill him-asws and return to me, delighted of eyes, joyful, and you-la can do whatever you-la want with me, for I shall be waiting for you-la’. He-la said to her, ‘But, I-la shall kill him-asws and return to you with painful eyes, saddened, inauspicious, remorseful’. She said, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from your-la wild superstitions’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The accursed leapt as if he was the stallion from the camels. He-la said, ‘Bring to me-la my-la sword! ’ Then he-la donned an apron and wore a belt, and made the sword to be beneath the apron, with his-la belly, and said, ‘Open the door for me-asws, for I-la shall be killing Ali-asws for you in this time’. She stood up joyfully and kissed his-la chest, and he-la remained kissing her and hugging her for a while, then he-la moved her away.
