Hadith 22

risy in it, nor any intention to separate, I-asws would fight with the sword, foot by foot forward, and I-asws shall be placing the swords to their sides, and from the spears to their ends, and from the horses to their knees. So, speak, may Allah‑azwj have Mercy on you all! ’
So, it was as if the silenced had reined them with the rein from answering the call, except for twenty men. They stood up to me-asws and said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! We cannot control except ourselves and our swords. So here we are in front of you-asws for your-asws orders, willingly, and implementers of your-asws view. So, order us with whatever you-asws so desired to’. I-asws looked right and left but could not see anyone other than them. I-asws said: ‘There is an example for e-asws with my-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww when he-saww worshipped Allah-azwj secretly, and on that day he-saww was among thirty-nine ment. When Allah-azwj Perfected the forty for him-saww, he-saww came to be in a period and revealed the Commands of Allah-azwj. So, if there had been for me-asws, their number, I-asws would have fought for the Sake of Allah‑azwj as is right of its Jihad. Then I-asws raised my-asws head towards the sky.

They came to me saying that Muawiya had secretly sent his battalion to Al-Anbar and Al-Kufa, and had launched his raids upon the Muslims, and killed the ones who did not fight him, and killed the women and the children. So, I let them know that there is no loyalty for them’. I-asws dispatched men with them, and an army, and made them understand that they would be answering to Muawiya and breaking my-asws pact. So, it did not happen, except what I-asws had said to them and informed them’’. [47]
And Abdul Hameed Bin Abi Al Hadeed said in the commentary of (the book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’, ‘It is reported that Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir-asws said to one of his-asws companions: ‘O so and so! What (how much) we-asws have faced from the injustices of Quraysh to us-asws, and their prevailing upon us-asws, and what our-asws Shias and ones who love us-asws have faced from the people! Rasool-Allah-saww passed away and he-saww had informed: ‘I-saww am foremost of the people with the people! ’ But Quraysh inclined against us-asws until the command was extracted from its mine, and they argued up
