Hadith 25

(The book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ – And from a speech of his-asws in mentioning Amro Bin Al-Aas: ‘Strange of Ibn Al-Nabigha’ – and mentioned similar to it’. [91]
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Al Mufeed, from Muhammad Bin Imran, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Ahmad Bin Saeed, from Al Zubeyr Bin Bakkar, from Ali Bin Muhammad who said, ‘Amro Bin Al-Aas used to say, ‘There is humour in Ali-asws’. That reached Amir Al-Momineen-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Ibn Al-Nabigha alleges that I-asws am with playfulness, joking, being with humour, frolicking, fun. Far be it! I-asws am prevented from the frolicking, playfulness by the remembrance of death, and fear of the resurrection, and the reckoning’’. And the one who has a heart for him, regarding this he would be away from this, for him would be preaching and rebukes. As for the evilest of words, it is the lie. He (Amro) narrates so he lies, and he promises so he breaks. When it the day of the prowess (battle), so how rebuking and instructing he is, for as long as the swords do not take the important men.

Kitab Al Gharrat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi who said, ‘It reached Ali-asws that (Amro) Ibn Al-Aas was derogating him-asws in the presence of the people of Syria, so he-asws ascended the pulpit, praise Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, then said: ‘O strange! Strange of the derogation by Ibn Al-Nabigha alleging to the people of Syria’ – up to the end of the speech, and gathering between the two reports’’. [93]
Kitab Suleym Bin Qays Al Hilali – From Aban Abu Ayyash, from Suleym who said, ‘Amro Bin Al-Aas addressed at Syria. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww sent me (as a commander) upon an army wherein were Abu Bakr and Umar. I thought that rather he-saww had sent me due to my prestige to him-saww. When I arrived, I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Which of the people is most beloved to you-saww? ’ He-saww said: ‘Ayesha’. I said, ‘From the men’. He-saww said: ‘Her father’. O you people! And this is Ali-asws, throwing accusations upon Abu Bakr and Umar and Usman, and I have heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying that Allah-azwj has Struck upon the tongue of Umar and his heart’. And he-saww said regarding Usman: ‘The Angels are embarrassed from Usman’. And I have heard Ali-asws, or else I should become deaf, meaning his ears, reporting in the era of Umar that the Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj Looked at Abu Bakr and Umar coming and
