Hadith 137

(The book) ‘Muntakhab Al Basaair’, from the book ‘Al Gharaat’ of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy reported a Hadith, ‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws, it was said to him-asws, ‘Who was Zulqarnain-as? ’
He-asws said: ‘A man Allah-azwj had Sent to his-as people. They belied him-as and struck him-as upon his-as horn (head), so he-as died. Then Allah-azwj Revived him-as, then Sent him-as to his-as people. They belied him-as and struck him-as upon his-as other horn, so he-as died. Then Allah‑azwj Revived him-as, thus he-as is Zulqarnain-as (one with two horns), because both his-as horns had been struck’’. [149]
And in another Hadith: ‘And among you all is his-as example’ – intending himself-asws’’. [150]
And from him as well, ‘It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Useyd Al Kindy, and he was from the elite forces, from his father who said, ‘I was sitting with the people in the presence of Ali-asws when Ibn Muiz and Ibn Na’j came, and with them was Abdullah Bin Wahab. They had placed a cloth in his throat, dragging him. They said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Kill him and do not sweet talk the liars! ’
He-asws said: ‘Bring him near! They brought him near. He-asws said to them, ‘So what is he saying? ’ They said, ‘He claims that you-asws are walker of the earth, and you-asws would be struck before this’ – meaning his-asws head to his-asws beard. He-asws said: ‘What are they saying? ’ He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I narrated to them a Hadith which Ammar-as Bin Yasser-ra had narrated to me’. He-asws said: ‘Leave it, for it has been reported from others, O Ibn Umm Al-Sawda’a! You are expounding the Hadith with an expounding. Free the way of the man, for if he is lying, then his lie would be upon him, and if he is truth
