Hadith 415

Shayba, the virgin woman, the virgin, the night of her defloration. Her husband, the one who deflowered her will not forget it, ever, nor a killer of her first born, and it is the first of her children. Like that, he will not forget that I-asws killed Usman (as per his allegation)’. And he wrote another to Ziyad Ibn Sumayya, and he was an office bearer for Ali-asws upon part of Persian. He wrote to him threatening him and promising him. Zayd said, ‘Woe be unto the son of the liver-eater (Hinda), and a cave of the hypocrites, and remainder of the confederates, threatening me and promising me, and between me and him is a son-asws of an uncle-as of Muhammad-saww having seventy thousand obedience ones, their swords are with their chins, and not one of them will turn around behind him until he dies. But, by Allah-azwj! If the command ends up to me-asws, he would find be a red striker with the sword, and the red’ – meaning he is a slave. When Muawiya claimed it, he became prejudicial to Arabs, negating. And Muawiya wrote a poem, at the bottom of the letter of Abu Ayoub. Abu Ayoun answered him with a poem, returning it upon him. And it was a text of his letter in answer to Muawiya, ‘As for after, you wrote to me, ‘Al-Shayba will not forget the loss of her son nor will a father excuse its excuse’. You struck an example with the killing of Usman, and what have we to do with the killing of Usman? The one who Lied in wait with Usman and obstructed in helping were Yazeed Bin Aseyd and the people of Syria, and the ones who killed him were other than the Helpers’. When Muawiya was brought the letter of Abu Ayoub, he tore it’’. [40]
