Hadith 72

(The books) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed (and) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Al Mufeed, from Al Jiany, from Ibn Uqdah, from Abu Awana Musa Bin Yusuf, from Abdul Salam Bin Aasim, from Is’haq, from Amro Bin Abu Qays, from Maysarah Bin Habeeb, from Al Minhal Bin Amro who said, ‘A man from the clan of Tameem informed me saying, ‘We were with Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws at Zi-Qaar, and we would be kidnapped during out day, and I heard him-asws saying: ‘By Allah-azwj! We will prevail over this group, and we will kill these two men’ – meaning Talha and Al-Zubeyr – ‘and eradicate their soldiers’. Al-Tameemi (the narrator) said, ‘I came to Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas and I said, ‘Can you not see the son-asws of your uncle-as and what he-asws is saying? ’ He said, ‘Do not be hasty until we look at what is happening’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When it was from the matter of Al-Basrah what happened, I came to him and said, ‘I do not see the son-asws of your uncle-as except and he-asws has been truthful’. He said, ‘Woe be unto you! Surely, used to narrate to the companions of Muhammad-saww that the Prophet-saww had made pacts to him-asws with eighty pacts. He-saww did not make any pact from it to anyone other than him-asws, so perhaps this is from what he-saww had pacted to him-asws’’. [81]
