Hadith 57

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – From Salih Bin Kaysan who said, ‘When Muawiya killed Hujr Bin Aday and his companions, he performed Hajj in that year. He met Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws. He said, ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws! Has it reached you-asws what we had done with Hujr and his companions, and his loyalists and the Shias of your-asws father-asws? ’
He-asws said: ‘And what did you do with them? ’ He said, ‘We killed them, and enshrouded them, and prayed Salat upon them’. Al-Husayn-asws laughed, then said, ‘The group antagonised you. But, if we-asws were to kill your loyalists, we would neither enshroud them nor would we-asws pray Salat upon them, nor bury them in graves. And it has reached me-asws that you are talking badly regarding Ali-asws and your standing with derogating us-asws, and your exposing the clan of Hashim-as with the faults. So, when you do that, then refer within yourself, then ask it for the truth against it and for it. If you do not find a greater fault, then how small is your fault regarding yourself’. You have been unjust to us, O Muawiya, and do not string other than your own bow, nor shoot other than your own purpose, nor shoot at us-asws with the enmity from a nearby place, for by Allah-azwj, regarding us-asws, you have obeyed a man, neither is his Islam ancient, nor is his hypocrisy new, and he does not look out for you. So, you look out for yourself or rebuff’ – meaning Amro Bin Al-Aas’’. [90]
