Jurayy bin Samurah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: When what happened between the people of Basrah and Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) had taken place, I set out until I reached Madinah. I came to Sayyidah Maymunah bint al-Harith (may Allah be pleased with her), who was from Banu Hilal, and greeted her with salam. She asked: "Where is this man from?" I said: From Iraq. She asked: "From which people of Iraq?" I said: From the people of Kufah. She asked: "From which people of Kufah?" I said: From Banu Amir. She said: "Welcome! Closeness upon closeness, and spaciousness upon spaciousness. What has brought you?" I said: After what happened between Ali, Talhah and al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them), I came forward and pledged allegiance to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). She said: "Then stay with him. By Allah, he has not gone astray, nor has he been led astray." She repeated this three times.
