Hadith 18

(The book) ‘Amaali’ of sheykh Al Tusi – Al Mufeed, from the scribe, from Al Zafrany, from Al Saqafi, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Al husayn Bin Sufran, from his father, from Lut Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Jundab, from his gather who said, ‘When Usman was pledged allegiance to, I heard Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad Al-Kindy-ra saying to Abdul Rahman Bin awf, ‘By Allah-azwj, O Abdul Rahman! I have not seen the like of what has come to the People-asws of this Household after their-asws Prophet-saww’. Abdul Rahman said to him, ‘And what have you to do with that, O Miqdad-ra? ’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I love them-asws for the love of Rasool-Allah-saww for them-asws, and you are faulting me? By Allah-azwj! I will not transmit the transmittion of nobility of Qureysh over the people, by their nobility and their uniting upon removing the authority of Rasool-Allah-azwj from their-asws hands’. Abdul Rahman said to him, ‘Woe be unto you! By Allah-azwj, I have struggled myself for you all’. Al-Miqdad-ra said to him, ‘By Allah-azwj! You have neglected a man from those who are enjoining with the truth and by it they are dispensing justice. But by Allah-azwj! If there had been supporters for me against Qureysh, I would have fought them my fighting them on the day of (battles of) Badr and Ohad’. Abdul Rahman said to him, ‘May your mother be bereft of you, O Miqdad-ra! Do not let the people hear this talk from you, or by Allah-azwj, I fear that you will become the perpetrator of divisions and discord’. Jundab (Abu Zarr-ra) said, ‘I-ra went to him after he had left from his place. I-ra said to him-ra, ‘O Miqdad-ra! I-asws am from your-ra supporters’. He-ra said, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-ra! That which we intend cannot be availed among two men or three’. So, I (Abu Zarr-ra) returned from him-asws and came to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and mentioned to him what he-ra had said and what I-ra had said. He-asws supplicated for us-ra with goodness’’. [10]
