So he moved aside behind him (peace and blessings be upon him) until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his head and said: 'O Umar! You did very well when you found me in prostration and moved aside. Indeed, Jibril came to me and said: Whoever of your Ummah sends blessings (durud) upon you once, Allah Almighty will send ten mercies upon him and will raise him ten degrees by it.'"

So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: 'O Ali! You and your companions will be in Paradise; you and your party (shi'ah) will be in Paradise. However, among those who claim to love you there will be some peoples who will (merely) fill their mouths with Islam and then spit it out. They will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will have an evil nickname by which they will be called: they will be called "Rafidah". So if you find them, fight them, for they are polytheists.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah! What will be their sign?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'They will not attend the Friday prayer or the congregation, and they will revile the first predecessors (al-salaf al-awwal).'"

Then he read it out, and in it was written: 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim (In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful). Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (commands): Every prophet has a sanctuary (haram), and my sanctuary is Madinah. So whoever introduces into it any new mischief (or innovation), or gives refuge to a mischief-maker, Allah Almighty will accept from him neither an obligatory nor a voluntary deed.'

Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his father: "Why did you give Usamah preference over me? By Allah, he did not get ahead of me in any battle." He said: "Because (his father) Sayyiduna Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than your father, and Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) was more beloved to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) than you.

He said: "She is still too young for that (marriage)." At this Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Every tie and lineage will be cut off on the Day of Resurrection except my tie and my lineage.' So I wished that I too should have a tie and a lineage connection with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna al-Hasan and Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Marry (your sister) to your uncle." They said: "She is a woman like other women; she will choose for herself."

But he (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards the door, took hold of its two doorposts and said: 'The leaders (imams) will be from Quraysh. I have a great right over you, and they too have this right as long as they do three things: when they are asked for mercy, they show mercy; when they judge, they judge with justice; and when they make a covenant, they fulfil it. So whoever of them does not do this, upon him is the curse of Allah, of the angels and of all people.'"

(The narrator said:) I asked Abu Hafs: "Did you hear this hadith from Yahya?" He replied: "More than a hundred times."

Yahya bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) said to him: "Come inside the circle." Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said to him: "Was it not you who narrated this hadith to me with the chain of Muhammad bin Ajlan, from Amr bin Shu'ayb, from his father, from his grandfather, that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade forming circles on Friday before the imam comes out?" At this Yahya bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) replied to him: "I have seen Habib bin al-Shahid, Hisham bin Hassan and Sa'id bin Abi Arubah (may Allah have mercy on them) forming circles on Friday before the imam came out." Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Had it reached these people that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade (forming circles) on Friday, and yet they still formed circles?" Hearing this, Yahya bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) fell silent.

Abu Ubaydah bin Hudhayfah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I was asking people in Kufah about Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), even though he was living (right there) beside me. So I went to him and said: "What is the hadith that has reached me from you?" He said: "When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent (as a prophet), I was among those who hated him most intensely, until I ran away (leaving my land) and reached the land of Syria. While I was staying there, news reached us that Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) had been dispatched towards us, so I fled from there too and reached the land of the Byzantines (Rum). Then, while I was sitting in the shade of a wall, I suddenly saw a woman in a litter approaching. I got up and went towards her, and saw that she was my paternal aunt. (On seeing me) she said: 'O Adi bin Hatim! You ran away and left me (alone). You had hardly left us when Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) raided us in the morning, took the children captive and killed the fighting men. Then we set off from there until we were brought to Madinah. (She said:) One day I was sitting when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by; he (peace and blessings be upon him) was on his way to the prayer. I said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The father has died and the guardian has run away; do me a kindness and set me free, and Allah will do you a kindness. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "And who is your guardian?" I said: Adi bin Hatim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on. On the second day he (peace and blessings be upon him) again passed by on his way to the prayer, and I again said the same: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The father has died and the guardian has run away; do me a kindness and release me, and Allah will do you a kindness. He (peace and blessings be upon him) again asked: "And who is your guardian?" I said: Adi bin Hatim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) went on and gave me no answer. On the third day, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by, I could not say anything out of shyness, but Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) gave me a sign. So I said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The father has died and the guardian has run away; do me a kindness and set me free, and Allah will reward you for it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) again asked: "And who is your guardian?" I said: Adi bin Hatim. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger." I said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah has set you free. Now stay here and do not leave until something (such as a caravan) comes to us by which we can send you off." (The aunt said:) I stayed for three days, then a caravan of the tribe of Sarh arrived carrying grain, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted me on this riding camel and gave me provisions for the journey.' (Then she said to me:) 'O Adi bin Hatim! Go to him (peace and blessings be upon him), do go to him and take your share from him, before someone else from your people who is not (as honoured) as you gets ahead of you to him.'" (Adi, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) "So I set off until I reached Madinah. People began looking at me (in surprise) and saying: 'Adi bin Hatim has come!' Then I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Adi bin Hatim! Are you the one who runs away from Allah and His Messenger?' I said: 'I have a religion of my own.' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I know your religion better than you do. Are you not a Rakusi? And are you not the chief of your people, and do you not take a quarter of the spoils from them?' Hearing this, I began to feel ashamed. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Look! The only thing that prevents you from accepting Islam is that you see the people around us empty-handed, and you see that all the people have united against us. O Adi! Soon you will see a secluded woman in a litter set out alone from al-Hirah and reach the House of Allah without anyone's protection, and soon the treasures of Kisra will be opened to us.' I asked: 'Of Kisra bin Hurmuz?' He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Yes, of Kisra bin Hurmuz. And soon a time will come when a man will go out with charity from his wealth but will find no one to accept it from him.'" (Sayyiduna Adi, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) "Two of these things I have seen (with my own eyes): I was in the first cavalry that raided the treasures of Kisra, and I saw the secluded woman in the litter who set out from al-Hirah and reached Makkah without anyone's protection. And by Allah, the third will surely come to pass too, for the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is true."

He said: "By Allah, what an evil thing he says about his uncle! But I will say nothing but good about Abu Abdullah (Sayyiduna al-Zubayr bin al-Awwam, may Allah be pleased with him); may the mercy of Allah be upon him, he was indeed a righteous man." (Then Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah, may Allah be pleased with him, related an incident:) Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) set out for a settlement of his, with Sayyidah Hind (may Allah be pleased with her) seated behind him on the mount, and I was a boy riding ahead of them on my donkey. Meanwhile, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met us. Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Mu'awiyah! Get down so that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) may ride." So I got off the donkey and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rode it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) went ahead of them for a little while, then turned to them and said: "O Abu Sufyan bin Harb! And O Hind bint Utbah! By Allah, you will surely die, then you will surely be raised (again), then the doer of good will enter Paradise and the evildoer the Fire. What I am telling you is the truth, and you are the first people to be warned." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited these verses of Surah Ha Mim al-Sajdah: "Ha Mim. A revelation from the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful," until he reached: "They both said: 'We come willingly.'" Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Muhammad! Have you finished?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) got off the donkey and I mounted it again. At this Sayyidah Hind (may Allah be pleased with her) turned to Sayyiduna Abu Sufyan (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "Did you make my son get down for this lying sorcerer?" He replied: "By Allah, he is neither a sorcerer nor a liar."
