Hadith 198

his is a lot of wealth. It is not allowed for you to take if from besides the (rest of the) Muslims’. Al Abbas said, ‘This is a letter (of deed) of Rasool-Allah-saww that was witnessed for me by the few and the lot’. Umar said, ‘By Allah-azwj! Either you equate it with the Muslims in that or else return from where you have come’. A lot of harsh talk flowed between the two, and Umar was angered – and he used to be quick to anger, he grabbed the letter from Al Abbas and tore it and spat in it, and threw it in the face of Al Abbas and said, ‘By Allah-azwj! Even if you were to demand one seed from it, I will not give it to you! ’
Al Abbas took and remainder of the letter and returned to his house grieving, crying, complaining to Allah-azwj the Exalted and to His-azwj Rasool-saww. Al Abbas shouted at the Emigrants and the Helpers and they were angered to that and said, ‘O Umar! You tore a letter of Rasool-Allah-saww and threw in in the ground? This is something we cannot be patient upon’. Umar feared the command would be ruptured with him, so he said, ‘Arise with us to go to Al Abbas to please him and deal with him with what would reconcile him’. They got up in their entirety to the house of Al Abbas and they found him with fever due to the severity of what he had faced from the strife, and the pain, and the injustice. He said, ‘We shall return to him in the morning, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires, and offer excuses to him from our deed’. The next day passed, and the day after, and he did not return to him, nor offered any excuses from it. The wealth was distributed upon the Emigrants and the Helpers, and it remained like that until he died’’. And from it is that Rasool-Allah-saww exiled Al Hakam Bin Al Aas, uncle of Usman, from Al Medina, and exiled him from its vicinity. He did not cease to be in exile from Al Medina, and with him was Marwan, for the days of Rasool-Allah-saww, and days of Abu Bakr, and days of Umar. He was named as ‘Exiled one of Rasool-Allah-saww, until Usman ruled, and he returned him to Al Medina and sheltered him, and made his son Marwan to be his scribe, and in charge of the management in his house’’. [173]
And they have all reported that the Prophet-saww said: ‘The truth is with Ammar, circulating with him wherever he circulates’. [174]
And he-saww said: ‘When the people separate right and left, then look at the sect in which is Ammar, and follow it, for the truth circulates with him wherever he may circulate’. [175]
