Hadith 238

Al-Momineen-asws! Order us with your-asws order regarding the enemy of Allah-azwj. By Allah-azwj! The community is destroyed, and the religion is spoilt’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to them: ‘If I-asws were to live, I-asws would give my-asws view regarding him-la, and if I-asws die, then do with him-la like what you would have done with the killer of the Prophet-saww. Kill him-la, then burn him-la after that with the fire’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When Amir Al-Momineen-asws had fulfilled his-asws vow and his-asws family were free from burying him-asws, Al-Hassan-asws sat (in judgment) and ordered with Ibn Muljim-la be brought. They came with him-la. When he-la stood in front of him-asws, he-asws said to him-la: ‘Enemy of Allah-azwj! You-la killed Amir Al-Momineen-asws and enlarged the mischief in the religion’. Then he-asws ordered, and his-la was struck off, and Umm Al-Haysam Bint Al Aswad Al-Nakhaie requested his-la body from him-asws to be gifted to her to be in charge of burning it. He-asws gifted it to her and she burnt it with the fire’. And as for the two men, those had been with Ibn Muljim-la in the pact upon killing Muawiya and Amro Bin Al-Aas, one of them struck Muawiya while he was riding, so his strike fell in his private part and he was saved from it, while he (attacker) was seized and killed at that time. And as for the other one, Amro had not arrived that night and he was not well, so he appointed a man called Kharjat Bin Abu Habeeba Al-Aamiry to lead the Salat with the people. He struck him with his sword, and he was thinking it was Amro. He was seized and they came with him to Amro, and he killed him, and Kharjat died during the second day’’. [43] (This is not a Hadith)
Note: –
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Abu Al Hadeed said, ‘Abu Al Faraj said, ‘Abu Mikhnaf said, ‘Abu Zuheyr Al Absy said, ‘As for the companion (sent to) Muawiya, he aimed for him. When his eyes fell upon him, he struck him. His strike fell upon his private part. The physician came to him. He looked at the (place of) strike. He said, ‘The sword is poisoned, so choose, either I heat up the iron for you and make it to be in the stricken place, or I give you medication to drink so you will be cured, and (but) your lineage would be cut off’. He said, ‘As for the fire, I cannot tolerate it, and as for the lineage, so there is in Yazeed-la and Abdullah what my eyes are delighted with, and it suffices me with them’. So he quenched him the medication, and he recovered and there was no birth for him after that’. [44]
And he said, ‘Abu Al Faraj said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn by a chain, ‘He mentioned that Al-Ash’as Bin Qays, may Allah-azwj Curse him, entered to see Ali-asws and spoke to him-asws. Ali-asws was harsh to him. Al-Ash’as objected that he would be lost (killed) due to it. Ali-asws said to him: ‘Is it with the death you are frightening me-asws, or threatening me-asws? ’ By Allah-azwj! I-asws do not care whether I-asws fall upon the death or the death falls upon me-asws’’. [45]
He said, ‘And Abu Al Faraj Al Asfahany said, ‘It is reported by Abu Mikhnaf, from Abu Al Tufeyl, ‘Sa’sa Bin Sowhan sought permission to see Ali-asws, and he had come to him-asws for consoling, when Ibn Muljim-la had struck him-asws, but there was no permission given to him. Sa’sa said to the permitter, ‘Tell him-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-asws, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, alive and dead. For Allah-azwj was Mighty in your-asws chest, and you-asws were learned with the Self of Allah-azwj’’. The permitter delivered it to him-asws. He-asws said: ‘Tell him, ‘And you, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-asws, for you have been light of the provisions and a lot of the assistance’’. Abu Al-Faraj said, ‘Then the physicians of Al-Kufa gathered to him-asws, and there did not happen to be anyone more learned with his-asws injury than Aseer Bin Amro Al-Hani Al-Salouly, and he was a chairman of the physicians treating the injuries, and he was from the forty slaves, those Ibn Al-Waleed had caught them in Ayn Al-Tamr, and had captured them. When Aseer looked at the injury of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he called for a hot capillary of a sheep and he extracted a vein from it, then (inserted it into the head wound), then extracted it, and there was whiteness of the brain upon it. He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Make your-asws pact (will), for the enemy of Allah-azwj, his-la strike has reached to the top of your-asws head’’. [46]
