ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ ثَلَاثٌ هُنَّ فَخْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ زَيْنُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَ يَأْسُهُ مِمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَ وَلَايَتُهُ الْإِمَامَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) قَالَ وَ ثَلَاثَةٌ هُمْ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِمْ خِيَارُ الْخَلْقِ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ قَاتَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَادَاهُ وَ مُعَاوِيَةُ قَاتَلَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) وَ عَادَاهُ وَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ قَاتَلَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ عَادَاهُ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ.

311. Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (AS) saying; ‘Three things are a matter of pride for the believer and an adornment of him in the world and the Hereafter: the prayer during the last part of the night, and his dejection from what is in the hands of the people, and his Wilayah of the Imam from the progeny of Muhammad (saww). And the three who are the most evil of creation by whom the best of creation was plagued are Abu Sufyan who fought against the Messenger of Allah (sw) and opposed him, and Muawiya who fought against Ali (AS) and opposed him, and Yazid bin Muawiya, may Allah curse him, who fought against Al-Husayn bin Ali (AS) and opposed him until he killed him’.

ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَا حَسَبَ لِقُرَشِيٍّ وَ لَا لِعَرَبِيٍّ إِلَّا بِتَوَاضُعٍ وَ لَا كَرَمَ إِلَّا بِتَقْوَى وَ لَا عَمَلَ إِلَّا بِالنِّيَّةِ وَ لَا عِبَادَةَ إِلَّا بِالتَّفَقُّهِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ أَبْغَضَ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَنْ يَقْتَدِي بِسُنَّةِ إِمَامٍ وَ لَا يَقْتَدِي بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

312. Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al-Thumaly, who has narrated: Ali Bin Al-Husayn (asws) has said: ‘There is no nobility for the Qureysh, nor for the Arabs except by humbleness, and there is no prestige except by piety, and there are no deeds except by the intention, and there is no worship except by the understanding. Indeed! The most hateful of the people to Allah (azwj) is the one who emulates the Sunnah of an Imam (asws) but does not emulate him (asws) in his deeds’.

ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ أَ تُقِرُّ لِي أَنَّكَ عَبْدٌ لِي إِنْ شِئْتُ بِعْتُكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُ اسْتَرْقَيْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ اللَّهِ يَا يَزِيدُ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَكْرَمَ مِنِّي فِي قُرَيْشٍ حَسَباً وَ لَا كَانَ أَبُوكَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَبِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنِّي فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَا بِخَيْرٍ مِنِّي فَكَيْفَ أُقِرُّ لَكَ بِمَا سَأَلْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ إِنْ لَمْ تُقِرَّ لِي وَ اللَّهِ قَتَلْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ لَيْسَ قَتْلُكَ إِيَّايَ بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْ قَتْلِكَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ لِلْقُرَشِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أُقِرَّ لَكَ أَ لَيْسَ تَقْتُلُنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ الرَّجُلَ بِالْأَمْسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ بَلَى فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) قَدْ أَقْرَرْتُ لَكَ بِمَا سَأَلْتَ أَنَا عَبْدٌ مُكْرَهٌ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَمْسِكْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَبِعْ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْلَى لَكَ حَقَنْتَ دَمَكَ وَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَرَفِكَ.

313. Ibn Mahbub, from Abu Ayyub, from Burayd Bin Muawiya who said: I heard Abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying that: ‘Yazid Ibn Muawiya (la) entered Al-Medina and he wanted to perform the Pilgrimage. So he sent for a man from Quraysh who came to him. So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘Do you accept that you are my slave, and if I wish I can sell you, and if I wish I can promote you?’ So the man said to him (la), ‘You are no more prestigious than me among the Quraysh in nobility, nor was your father more preferable than my father during the era of ignorance and Al-Islam, and neither are you (la) more preferable than me in the Religion, nor better than me. So how can I accept what you are asking of me?’ So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘By Allah (azwj)! If you do not accept me, I shall kill you’. So the man said to him (la), ‘Your killing me would not be greater than your killing of Al-Husayn Ibn Ali (a.s.) the so of Rasulallah (s.w)’. So he ordered that he be killed, may Allah Curse him. Then he sent for Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.). So he said to him similar to what he had said to the Qurayshi. Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a.s) said to him: ‘Do you see that if I do not accept you, you kill me just as you (la) killed the man yesterday?’ Yazid (la) said to him, ‘Yes’. So Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.) said to him: ‘I have accepted to you (la) with what you asked. I am a humble slave (of Allah), so if you wish captivate me or if you wish, release me’. So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘It is of a higher level (referring to the one whom he had killed the day before) even if I (kill) or spare your blood it would not reduce your nobility.'"

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ لِي جَارَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا نَاصِبٌ وَ الْآخَرُ زَيْدِيٌّ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ مُعَاشَرَتِهِمَا فَمَنْ أُعَاشِرُ فَقَالَ هُمَا سِيَّانِ مَنْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ نَبَذَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ وَ هُوَ الْمُكَذِّبُ بِجَمِيعِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا نَصَبَ لَكَ وَ هَذَا الزَّيْدِيُّ نَصَبَ لَنَا.

314. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Saalim Bin Abu Salma Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Gazwaan, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira who said: I said to Abu Al-Hassan (asws) that, ‘I have two neighbours, one of them is a Hostile one (Nasibi) and one is a Zaydiite (A sect) and it is necessary to keep relations with them, so whom shall I keep relations with?’ So he (asws) said: ‘They are both the same. The one who belies the Verses from the Book of Allah (azwj), so he has thrown Al-Islam behind his back and he has belied the whole of the Quran, and the Prophets (as), and the Messengers (as)’. Then he (asws) said: ‘This one is hostile to you, and this Zaydiite is hostile to us (asws)’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَعَدَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ يُسَبُّ فِيهِ إِمَامٌ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الِانْتِصَافِ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ أَلْبَسَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الذُّلَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ عَذَّبَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ سَلَبَهُ صَالِحَ مَا مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِنَا.

315. Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Al-Qasim Bin Urwat, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara, from his father, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said; ‘The one who sits in a gathering in which an Imam (asws) from the Imams (asws) is insulted, and he has the ability to remedy that and he does not do so, Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic would Clothe him in disgrace in the world and Punish him in the Hereafter, and would Confiscate the benefit which he has from our (asws) understanding (Ma’rifat)’.

أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَخِي أَبِي شِبْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي شِبْلٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا وَ أَبْغَضَنَا النَّاسُ وَ صَدَّقْتُمُونَا وَ كَذَّبَنَا النَّاسُ وَ وَصَلْتُمُونَا وَ جَفَانَا النَّاسُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ مَحْيَاكُمْ مَحْيَانَا وَ مَمَاتَكُمْ مَمَاتَنَا أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُقِرَّ اللَّهُ عَيْنَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ فَمَدَّ الْجِلْدَةَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ ذَلِكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا رَضِيَ حَتَّى حَلَفَ لِي فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَحَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) بِذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا شِبْلٍ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُصَلُّوا وَ يُصَلُّوا فَيُقْبَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُزَكُّوا وَ يُزَكُّوا فَيُقْبَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَحُجُّوا وَ يَحُجُّوا فَيَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يَقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تُقْبَلُ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا الزَّكَاةُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا الْحَجُّ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي هُدْنَةٍ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَةَ فَإِذَا تَمَيَّزَ النَّاسُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ بِهَوَاهُمْ وَ ذَهَبْتُمْ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَطَعْتُمُونَا أَ لَيْسَ الْقُضَاةُ وَ الْأُمَرَاءُ وَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَسَائِلِ مِنْهُمْ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ (عليه السلام) فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُونَ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ إِنَّ النَّاسَ أَخَذُوا هَاهُنَا وَ هَاهُنَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ حَيْثُ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اخْتَارَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَاخْتَرْتُمْ خِيَرَةَ اللَّهِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْأَبْيَضِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَرُورِيّاً وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَامِيّاً.

316. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ibrahim Bin Akhay Abu Shabl, from Abu Shabl who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me initiating a conversation: ‘You have loved us (asws) whilst the people have hated us (asws), and you have ratified us (asws) whilst the people have belied us (asws), and you have submitted to us (asws) whilst the people have been disloyal to us (asws). So Allah (azwj) has Made your lives to be our (asws), and your deaths to be like our (asws) passing away. But, by Allah (azwj), there is nothing between the man and the delight which Allah (azwj) has kept for him except for the soul to reach this place’ – and he (asws) gestured with his (asws) to his (asws) throat and extended the skin. Then he (asws) repeated that, so by Allah (azwj), he (asws) was not happy until he (asws) took an oath to me, so he (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj) besides Whom there is no god except for Him (azwj), my (asws) father (asws) Muhammad Bin Ali (asws) narrated that to me. O Abu Shabl! Are you not happy that you pray, and they pray, so it is accepted from you and it’s not accepted from them? Are you not happy that you give zakat, and they give zakat, so it is accepted from you and it’s not accepted from them? Are you not happy that you perform the pilgrimage and they perform the pilgrimage, so Allah (azwj) Accepts from you and does not Accept from them? By Allah (azwj)! The prayer is not accepted except from you, nor the zakat except from you, nor the pilgrimage except from you’. So fear Allah (azwj) for you are in a truce and fulfil the trusts for it is an excellent (merit) of the people. So fulfil that. All the people went according to their desires and you went with the truth in what you obeyed us (asws). Is it not that the judges, and the rulers, and the problem solvers (those who would give fatwa) are among them?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He (asws) said: ‘So fear Allah (azwj) for you will not be able to tolerate all these people. The people take from here and there, and you are taking from where Allah (azwj) has Told you to take from. Allah (azwj) Chose Muhammad (saww) from His (azwj) servants, so you have chosen the Choice of Allah (azwj). So fear Allah (azwj) and fulfil the trusts to the black and the white, even if he was a Haruriyya (a sect) or if he was a Syrian’.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَخِي أَبِي شِبْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي شِبْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مِثْلَهُ.

317. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn fazzaal, from Ibrahim Bin Akhay Abu Shabl, from Abu Shabl, from Abu Abdullah (asws), similar to it’.

سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمَوْقِفِ وَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ كَثِيرٌ فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ لَكَثِيرٌ قَالَ فَصَرَفَ بِبَصَرِهِ فَأَدَارَهُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ غُثَاءٌ يَأْتِي بِهِ الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا الْحَجُّ إِلَّا لَكُمْ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ.

318. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammaad Bin Abu Talha, from Muaz Bin Kaseer who said: I looked towards the pausing station (during the Pilgrimage) and there were a lot of people in it. So I approached Abu Abdullah (asws) and said to him (asws) that, ‘The people at the Pausing station are so many (in numbers)’. He (asws) look around and pondered over them, then said: ‘Come closer to me (asws), O Abu Abdullah, this is scum which the waves have brought from every place. No, by Allah (azwj)! There is no Pilgrimage except for you all. By Allah (azwj), Allah (azwj) will not Accept except from you’.

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِذْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُمُّ خَالِدٍ الَّتِي كَانَ قَطَعَهَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عُمَرَ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ كَلَامَهَا فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْآنَ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا قَالَ وَ أَجْلَسَنِي مَعَهُ عَلَى الطِّنْفِسَةِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ فَتَكَلَّمَتْ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ بَلِيغَةٌ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهَا تَوَلَّيْهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَقُولُ لِرَبِّي إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِوَلَايَتِهِمَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي مَعَكَ عَلَى الطِّنْفِسَةِ يَأْمُرُنِي بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمَا وَ كَثِيرٌ النَّوَّاءُ يَأْمُرُنِي بِوَلَايَتِهِمَا فَأَيُّهُمَا خَيْرٌ وَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ النَّوَّاءِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّ هَذَا يُخَاصِمُ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْكافِرُونَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ.

319. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad La Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Washa, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer who said: I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullah (asws) when Umm Khalid, who had been cut off by Yusuf Bin Umar, came up and sought permission to see him (asws). So Abu Abdullah (asws) said; ‘Would it please you to hear her words?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. He (asws) said: ‘As for now, give permission to her’. And he (asws) made me sit on settee along with him (asws)’. Then she came in, and she spoke. She was an eloquent woman. So she asked about the two of them. So he (asws) said: ‘Consider them as friends. She said, ‘So shalI I say to my Lord (azwj) when I meet Him (azwj) that you (asws) have ordered me to befriend these two?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Yes’. She said, ‘This one who is with you (asws) upon the settee has ordered me to distance myself from those two, and Kusayr Al-Nawaa has ordered me to befriend those two. So which one is better and more beloved to you (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! This one is more beloved to me (asws) than Kusayr Al-Nawaa and his companions. This one here debates by saying: “[5:44] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers” “[5:45] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust.” “[5:47] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the transgressors”.’

عَنْهُ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ قَالَ لَمَّا أُخْرِجَ بِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) خَرَجَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) وَاضِعَةً قَمِيصَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَلَى رَأْسِهَا آخِذَةً بِيَدَيِ ابْنَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ مَا لِي وَ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُؤَتِّمَ ابْنَيَّ وَ تُرْمِلَنِي مِنْ زَوْجِي وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تَكُونَ سَيِّئَةً لَنَشَرْتُ شَعْرِي وَ لَصَرَخْتُ إِلَى رَبِّي فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مَا تُرِيدُ إِلَى هَذَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَتْ بِيَدِهِ فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِ.

320. From him, from Al-Moala, from Al-Hassan, from Aban, from Abu Hashim who said: When they came out with Ali (asws), Fatima (sa) also came out having placed the shirt of the Rasulallah (saww) upon her head, taking her two sons by the hand. So she (asws) said: ‘What is it between me and you, O Abu Bakr that you want to orphan my two sons and widow me from my husband? By Allah (azwj)! Had it not been a sin, I would have released my hair and cried out to my Lord (azwj)!’ So a man from the people said, ‘What do you want (from all) this?’ Then she took him by his hand and left with him’.
