Hadith 255

emains what would remain’. When Ibn Muljim-la hear her talk, said, ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj’, and return to his-la intellect, it irritated him-la and worried him-la. Then he-la shouted at the top of his-la voice, ‘What is this which you are heading me-la towards? Evil is what you have narrated yourself with, (it is) from the impossible’. Then he-la lowered his-la head dripping sweat and he-la was thoughtful regarding his-la matter. Then he-la raised his-la head towards her and said to her, ‘Woe be unto you! Who is able upon killing Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, the one of Answered supplication, the one helped from the sky and the earth, the one (people) tremble from his-asws awe, and the Angels are quick to his-asws service? ’
O woe be unto you! And who is able upon killing Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and he-asws aided from the sky, and the Angels are surrounding him-asws morning and evening? And it had so happened during the days of Rasool-Allah-azwj, whenever he-asws fought, Jibraeel-as had been on his-asws right, and Mikaeel-as on his-asws left, and the Angel of death was in front of him-asws. The one who was like this, there is no strength for anyone with killing him-asws, nor is there any way for a Created being upon assassinating him-asws, and along with that, he-asws has endeared me-la and honoured me-la, and raised me-la, and preferred me-la over others. So, that cannot happen to me his-asws recompense from me-la, ever! If it was someone else, I-la would kill him for you with an evil killing, and even if he was the best horseman of his time. And as for Amir Al-Momineen-asws, there is no way for me-la upon him-asws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘She was patient from him-la until his-la rage had subsided, and she entered with him-la into the playfulness and flirtation, and she knew that he-la had already forgotten that word. Then she said, ‘O you! What is preventing you-la from killing Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and turn away from this wealth and be in bliss with this beauty, and you-la aren’t with chastity and ascetism from the world? Kill him-asws, and he-asws has killed the ones who were fasting and standing (for Salat). When they (Kharijites) looked at him-asws, and he-asws had killed the Muslims unjustly and aggressively, they isolated from him-asws and fled from him-asws, and along with that, he-asws had killed the Muslims and judged without a Judgment of Allah-azwj and had been vacated from the caliphate and from being Emir of the Momineen. When my people saw him being upon that, they isolated him-asws, so he-asws killed them without there being any argument for him-asws against them’. Ibn Muljim-la said to her, ‘O you! Refrain from me-la, for you have spoilt my religion upon me-la and entered the doubt into my heart, and I-la no longer know what to say to you, and I-la had resolved upon my-la opinion’. Then he-la prosed, ‘Three thousand (Dinars), and a slave and a maid, and strike Ali-asws with the poisoned sword. Thus, there is no dower more expensive upon me, and even if it is high, nor is there any annihilation than the annihilation of Ibn Muljim-la. I-la swear by the Sacred House and the ones coming to it, from the ones in normal clothes and in Ihraam. Qatam spoilt my intellect and (now) from her, I-la am upon a mighty doubt, blame-worthy for killing Ali-asws, best of the ones treading the soil, brother-asws of the knowledge of guidance, the honourable Prophet-saww’. Then he-la withheld for a while and said, ‘I-la have not seen any dowry sent with leniency like the dower of Qatam, from an eloquent one (Arabs) and dumb (non-Arabs), three thousand (Dinars), and a slave and a maid, and to strike Ali-asws with the poisoned sword. Thus, there is no dower more expensive upo
