Hadith 34

e went out and he was saying: ‘The Truth came and the Falsehood vanished, surely the falsehood would always vanish’ [17: 81]’. And Muawiya was astonished at the eloquence and intent listening of the people until he was free from his speech’’. [134]
(The book) ‘Kashaf Al Ghumma’ from the book ‘Lutf Al Tadbeer’ of Muhammad Bin Abdullah the preacher who said, ‘It is told that Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan said to his gatherers after the government, ‘How can it be for us to know what we are going to in the end-result of our command? ’ His gatherers said, ‘We do not know of any aspect for that’. He said, ‘We should extract the knowledge of that from Ali-asws, for he-asws will not speak the falsity’. He called three men from his trusted ones and said to them, ‘Go, until you come to a stage away from Al-Kufa, then collude upon mourning me at Al-Kufa, and let your narrations be one in mentioning the illness, and the day, and the time, and the place of the grave, and who was in charge of the Salat upon it, and other such things, until you are not differing regarding anything. Then let one of you enter and let him inform of my death. Then let the second one entered and inform with the like of it. Then let the third one entered and inform with the like of his two companions, and look as what Ali-asws says’. They went out just as Muawiya had ordered them. Then one of them entered, and he was riding, pale-faced. The people at Al Kufa said to him, ‘Where have you come from? ’ He said, ‘From Syria’. They said to him, ‘What is the news? ’ He said, ‘Muawiya has died’. They came to Ali-asws and said, ‘A man has come riding from Syria informing of the death of Muawiya’. Ali-asws did not pay any attention to that’. Then the other one entered the next morning and he was pale-faced. The people said to him, ‘What is the news? ’ He said, ‘Muawiya has died’, and he informed similar to what his companion had informed. They came to Ali-asws and said, ‘A man has come riding with news of the death of Muawiya with news what is similar to his companion (the day before), and they have not differed in their speech. Ali-asws withheld. Then another entered during the third day. The people said, ‘What is behind you? ’ He said, ‘Muawiya has died’. They asked him about what he had witnessed, and he did not differ from the words of his two companions. They came to Ali-asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! This news is correct, this is the third rider who has informed with similar to the news of his two companions. When they frequently persisted upon it, Ali-asws said: ‘Never! Or has this been dyed from this? ’ – meaning his-asws beard from his-asws head, and the son of the liver-eater would play (with the caliphate) due to it’. The news of that returned to Muawiya’’. [135]
(The book) ‘Irshad Al Quloob’, by his chain to, ‘Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘While Amir Al-Momineen-asws was preparing to (battle) Muawiya and mobilising the people upon fighting him, when two men disputed to him-asws regarding a deed, and one of them hastened in the talk and increased in it. Amir Al-Momineen-asws turned towards him and said to him: ‘Be despised! ’ And there, his head (had become) head of a dog. The ones around him were stunned,
