Hadith 48

mad-saww, the participants of Badr, and those Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic was Pleased with their affairs and was Pleased from them after their allegiances, and others from the righteous Muslims, and the Tabi’een. Every one coincided his view with my-asws view in battling him (Muawiya), and warring him, and prevent him from what his hands hand attained with him, and I-asws got up to him with my-asws companions, enforcing my-asws battalions for every place, and I-asws sent my-asws messengers to him and called him to the returning from what he was indulging in, and entering into what the people had entered into with me-asws. He wrote to me, deciding upon me-asws and wishing the wishes unto me-asws, and stipulating conditions upon me. May Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic nor the Muslims pleased him, and he stipulation in part of it that I should hand over to him a group of the righteous companions of Muhammad-saww, among them being Ammar Bin Yasser-ra; and where are the likes of Ammar-ra? By Allah-azwj! We had seen with the Prophet-saww that he-saww did not count five from us except he-ra was their sixth, nor four except he-ra was their fifth. He stipulated that I-asws should hand them over to him so he could kill them, and crucify them, and he arrogated the blood of Usman. By the religion of Allah-azwj!

He (Muawiya) could not find any rescue from the death except the fleeing. He rode his horse and overturned his flag and he did not know how to cheat. He was assisted by the view of Ibn Al-Aas. He indicated to him with manifesting the Qurans and raised them upon the flags, and calling to what was in it. And he said, ‘Surely the son-asws of Abu Talib-asws and his-asws party and people of insight, and mercy, and survivors, and they had called you to the Book of Allah-azwj at first, and they would answer you to it last’. He (Muawiya) obeyed him (Amro) in what he had indicated with to him, when he saw that there was no rescue for him from the killing or the fleeing apart from it.
