Hadith 154

And from the book ‘Al Ansaab’ of Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Jabir Al Balazuri in the first volume, ‘Regarding the merits of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he said, ‘Ali-asws said upon the pulpit: ‘I-asws adjure Allah-azwj! Any man who heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying on the day of Ghadeer: ‘O Allah-azwj! Befriend the one befriending him-asws and be Inimical to the one being inimical to him-asws’, except that he should stand and testify! ’
And beneath the pulpit were Anas Bin Malik (a well-known fabricator), and Al-Bara’a Bin Aazib, and Jareer Bin Abdullah Al-Bajaly. He-asws repeated it, but no one answered him-asws. He-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! One who conceals this testimony and he knows it, do not Exit him from the world until You-azwj Make a Sign with him he can be recognised with! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘Anas (a well-known fabricator) had vitiligo, and Al-Bara’a became blind, and Jareer returned to be a Bedouin after his emigration. He came to Al-Shurah and died in the house of his mother’’. [148]
