Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40142 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Umayr bin Ishaq that he said: Another man and I came to visit Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in his illness. Sayyiduna al-Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) began to say to that man: "Ask me before you are unable to ask me." That man said: "I do not wish to ask you anything; may Allah Almighty grant you well-being." The narrator said: Sayyiduna al-Hasan stood up and went into the privy, then he came out to us and said: "I did not come out to you until I had thrown up a piece of my liver, which I have been turning over with this stick. I have been given poison to drink many times, but nothing has been harsher than this time." Umayr said: The next morning we went to him, and he was in the throes of death. The narrator Umayr said: Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sat by his head and said: "O my brother, who is the one who poisoned you?" He said: "Do you want to kill him?" He said: "Yes." Sayyiduna al-Hasan said: "If it is the one I suspect, then Allah Almighty is severest in punishing him; and if he is innocent, I do not like that an innocent man should be killed."
