Hadith 66

bd Shams Bin Abd Manaf Bin Quyas Al Amawy was killed, and he was the first caliph of the clan of Ummaiyah. And in this day exactly the people pledged allegiance to Amir Al Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, after Usman and the command returned to him-asws outwardly and inwardly, and everyone unanimously agreed upon him willingly with the choice. And in this day Musa-as defeated the magicians, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Disgraced Pharaoh-la and his-la army of the people of Kufr and the straying, and in it Allah-azwj the Exalted Rescued Ibrahim-as from the fire, and Made it cool and safe just as the Quran has spoken with it, and in it Musa Bin Imran-as nominated his-as successor-as Yoshua Bin Noun-as, and spoke of his-as merit upon heads of the people, and in it Isa-as his-as successor-as Shamoun Al Safa, and in it Suleyman Bin Dawood-as got all of his-as citizens witness upon the caliphate of his-as successor-as Aasif-as, and pointed upon his-as merit with the Verses and the proofs. And it is a day of many Blessings, and Ibn Abul Birr mentioned in ‘Al Istiyaab’ that Usman was pledged allegiance on Saturday, the first of Muharram in the year 24 AH, three days after the burial of Umar ibn al-Khattab. He was killed in Medina on Friday, the 18th or 17th of Zul Hijjah in the year 35 AH. Some say he was killed during the middle of the days of Tashreeq. It is also said he was killed 11 years, 11 months, and 22 days after the assassination of Umar Ibn Al Khattab and 25 years after the passing of the Messenger of God (peace be upon him). Another narration states that he was killed on Friday, the 8th of Zul Hijjah, the Day of Tarwiyah, in the year 35 AH. Yet another narration says he was killed on Friday, with two nights remaining in Zul Hijjah. He was besieged for 48 days, while some reports state the siege lasted two months and 20 days. May God have mercy on him, he said regarding the notable events of the 19th day of the month: On the night of the 19th of Ramadan, the list of pilgrims is written, and it is recommended to perform ghusl (ritual washing) on this night. On the night of Wednesday, the 19th of Ramadan in the year 40 AH, our master Amir al-Mu’mineen Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) was struck. And he, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said regarding incidents of the 20th day of the month, ‘And in the twentieth of the month of Ramazan of the year 8 from the Hijrah, the conquest of Makkah happened, and it is an Eid for the people of Al Islam and joy at the victory Granted by Allah-azwj the Exalted to His-azwj Prophet-saww, and Fulfilment for him what He-azwj had Promised him of the manifestation of his-saww right and invalidation of his-saww, and it is recommended in it the voluntary acts with the good deeds, and continuing the Zikr of Allah-azwj the Exalted and the thanking to Him-azwj upon the majestic bounties. And in the 20th day of Safar of the year sixty-one or sixty two, based upon different reports regarding killing of our master Al-Husayn-asws, happened the return of the sanctimonious ones of our master Abu Abdullah-asws from Syria to Al Medina of the Rasool-saww. And it is the day in which Jabir Bin Abdulah Bin Haram Al Ansary, companion of Rasool-Allah-saww, may He-azwj be Satisfied with him and Satisfy him, arrived from Al Medina to Karbala for visitation of grave of Al-Husayn-asws, and he was the first one from the people to visit, and ‘Tareekh’ of Al Mufeed, and during the 20th of Jumadi Al Aakher of the year 2 from the Prophet-hood was the birth of the Chieftess Al-Zahra Fatima-asws. And it is a noble day that renews the joy of the Momineen. On this day, it is recommended to perform voluntary good deeds and give charity to the needy. This is also mentioned in the book Al Misbah. According to another narration, it occurred in the fifth year of the Prophet-hood, while the majority believe that her-asws birth was five years before the mission. In ‘Al Durr’, it is stated that Fatimah-asws was born five years after Allah-azwj Revealed the Prophethood of her-asws father-saww, during the time when Qureysh were rebuilding the Kaaba.
