Hadith 54

In Abu Al Hadeed said in commentary of (the book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ – It is reported by Ibn Deyzeel in Kitab Siffeen, from Abdul Rahman Bin Ziyad, from Khalid Bin Humeyd, from Umar a slave of Gufrah who said, ‘When Ali-asws returned from Siffeen to Al-Kufa, the Kharijites stayed until they were a crowd, then they went out to the desert at Al-Kufa named as Haroura. They called out, ‘There is no Judgment except for Allah-azwj, and even if the Polytheists are averse to it! Indeed, Muawiya and Ali-asws have both associated in the Judgment of Allah-azwj! ’
Ali-asws sent Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas to them. He looked into their affairs and spoke to them, the returned to Ali-asws. He-asws said to him: ‘What did you see? ’ Ibn Abbas said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I don’t know what they are’. He-asws said: ‘Did you see them as hypocrites? ’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! Their signs are not signs of the hypocrites. In between their eyes are impact of the Sajdahs and they are interpreting the Quran’. He-asws said: ‘Leave them for as long as they are not spilling blood or usurping wealth’. And he-asws sent a message to them: ‘What is this which you are innovating and what are you intending? ’
They said, ‘We want us and you-asws and the ones who were with you-asws at Siffeen to go out for three night and repent to Allah-azwj from the affair of the two judges, then we should travel to Muawiya and fight him until Allah-azwj Judges between us and him’. Ali-asws said: ‘Why did you not say this when we were sending the two judges and taking the pact from them and giving it to them? Why didn’t you say this on that day? ’
They said, ‘The war had been prolonged upon us, and the difficulties had intensified, and the injuries were a lot, and the animals and the weapons were scarce’. He-asws said to them: ‘Is it so when the difficulties intensified upon you, you made a pact, when you found the relaxation, you said, ‘We shall break the pact’? Surely, Rasool-Allah-saww used to be loyal to the Polytheists with the pact (and) you are instructing me-asws with breaking it? ’
They remained in the places, not one of them moved returning to Ali-asws, nor did the last of them move going out from the presence of Ali-asws. One of them entered to see Ali-asws in the Masjid, and the people were around him-asws, and he shouted, ‘There is no judgment except for Allah-azwj and even though the Polytheists are averse to it! ’ The people turned around and called out, ‘There is no judgment except for Allah-azwj and even though the damagers are averse to it! ’
Ali-asws raised his-asws head and said: ‘There is no judgment except for Allah-azwj and even thought the father-asws of Hassan-asws is averse to it. The father-asws of Hassan-asws does not dislike it if the judgment happens to be for Allah-azwj’. Then he-asws said: ‘A Judgment of Allah-azwj is awaiting regarding you all’. The people said to him-asws: ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Will you-asws not move against them, so we can annihilate them? ’
He-asws said: ‘They will not be annihilated. They will be in the loins of the men and wombs of the women up to the Day of Qiyamah’’. [39]
He said, ‘And in it reported by Anas Bin Iyaz Al Madany, ‘From Ja’far-asws B
