Hadith 126

did he-asws want to say? ’ He-asws said: ‘He-asws wanted to lineage him’’. [67]
And it is reported By Zurara as well who said, ‘It was said to Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, ‘There are a people over here who are derogating Ali-asws’. He-asws said: ‘With what are they derogating him-asws? May there be no father for them! And is there any place Allah-azwj has Derogating him-asws? By Allah-azwj! No two matters were presented to Ali-asws, both of them being in obedience of Allah-azwj, except he-asws worked with severer of the two and their more grievous upon him-asws. And he-asws used to do the work as if he-asws was standing between the Paradise and the Fire, looking at the Reward of theirs so he-asws would work for it, and he-asws would look at the Punishment of theirs, so he-asws would (not) work for it. And if he-asws had stood to the Salat, and when he-asws said: ‘I-asws divert my-asws face’, his-asws colour would change to the extent that would be recognised in his-asws complexion. And he-asws had liberated a thousand slaves from the toil of his-asws own hands, all of them he-asws had sweated his-asws forehead and bared his-asws hands regarding it. And he-asws had scraped out a spring flowing in his-asws wealth (estate) like neck of the camel. He-asws said: ‘Give glad tidings to the inheritors’. Then he-asws made it to be a charity upon the poor and the needy and the wayfarer up to (the time) Allah-azwj Makes (the humble) to inherit the earth and the ones upon it, for Allah-azwj to Turn away the Fire from his-asws face’’. [68]
And he said in another place, ‘And it is reported by Ali Bin Muhamad Bin Abu Sayf Al Madainy, from Fuzeyl Bin Al Ja’d who said, ‘Confirming the causes regarding the Arabs sitting back from Amir Al-Momineen-asws was the matter of wealth, for he-asws did not happen to give preference to any noble over the ordinary (person), nor an Arab over the non-Arab, nor did he-asws deal with the chief and the leaders of the tribes like what is done with the kings and did not incline anyone to himself-asws, and Muawiya was opposite that, so the people left Ali-asws and joined up with Muawiya. Ali-asws complained to Al-Ashtar of the abandonment by his-asws companions and fleeing of some of them to Muawiya. Al-Ashtar said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! We fought the people of Al-Basra by the people of Al-Kufa, and the people of Syria by the people of Al-Basra and the people of Al-Kufa and saw the people as one, and they have differed afterwards, and have weakened the intention, and the numbers became few, and you-asws are taking them with the justice and working among them with the truth, and are being fair to the ordinary one from the noble, so there isn’t the preference, the status for the noble one in your-asws presence. So, a party from the ones with you made noise from the truth when they had been generalised with it, and they became saddened from the justice when they came to be in it, and they saw the dealing of Muawiya with the rich people and nobles.
