Hadith 319

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Yahya Bin Al Musawir Al Hamdani, from his father who said, ‘A man from the people of Syria came to Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws and he said, ‘Are you-asws Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws? ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Your-asws father-asws was the one who killed the Momineen? ’
Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws wept, then wiped his-asws eyes and he-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! How come you are insinuating upon my-asws father-asws that he-asws killed the Momineen? ’ He said, ‘His-asws own words: ‘Our brethren have rebelled against us, so we shall fight them upon their rebellion’’. He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! Have you not read the Quran? ’ He said, ‘Yes (I have)’. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Said: And to Madyan (We Sent) their brother Shuayb; And to Samood (We Sent) their brother Salih [11: 61]. Were they their-as brothers in their-as Religion or in their tribes? ’ The man said to him-asws, ‘But, in their tribes’. He-asws said: ‘They were (also) their brothers in their tribes, and they weren’t their brothers in their Religion’. He said, ‘You-asws have relieved me, may Allah-azwj Relieve you-asws’’. [225]
