Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4450 — The killing of Ali

وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَالْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ ، قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى يَنْبُوعَ عَائِدًا لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، وَكَانَ مَرِيضًا بِهَا ، فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي : مَا يُقِيمُكَ بِهَذَا الْمَنْزِلِ ؟ لَوْ هَلَكْتَ بِهِ لَمْ يَلِكَ إِلَّا أَعْرَابُ جُهَيْنَةَ ، احْتَمِلْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ ، فَإِنْ أَصَابَكَ أَجَلُكَ وَلِيَكَ أَصْحَابُكَ ، وَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْكَ - وَكَانَ أَبُو فَضَالَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ - فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : إِنِّي لَسْتُ بِمَيِّتٍ مِنْ وَجَعِي هَذَا ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَمُوتَ حَتَّى أُؤَمَّرَ ، ثُمَّ تُخْضَبَ هَذِهِ - يَعْنِي : لِحْيَتَهُ - مِنْ دَمِ هَذِهِ - يَعْنِي : هَامَتَهُ - فَقُتِلَ أَبُو فَضَالَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِصِفِّينَ .
رَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : وَلَا نَعْلَمُ فَضَالَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ رَوَى عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ إِلَّا هَذَا .
Sayyiduna Fadalah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: I went out with my father to Yanbu' to visit Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who was ill there. My father said to him: "What keeps you staying in this place? If you were to die here, no one would be with you except the Bedouins of the tribe of Juhaynah. Come to Madinah, for if you die there, your eminent companions will take care of the matters of your washing and shrouding, and they will offer your funeral prayer." It should be noted that Abu Fadalah (may Allah be pleased with him) was one of the people of Badr. Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "I will not die of this illness of mine. Indeed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gave me his pledge that I will not die until I am made Caliph, and then this (pointing to his beard) is dyed with the blood of this (that is, with the blood of the crown of his head)." Later Abu Fadalah (may Allah be pleased with him) was martyred at the Battle of Siffin.
Imam al-Bazzar narrated it through Muhammad bin Abd al-Rahim from al-Hasan (bin Musa), and he said: As far as we know, Fadalah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated no hadith from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) other than this one.
