Hadith 40565
٤٠٥٦٥ - حدثنا يزيد بن هارون عن شريك عن أبي (العنبس) (١) عن أبي البختري قال: سئل علي عن أهل الجمل قال: (قيل) (٢) أمشركون هم؟ قال: من الشرك فروا، قيل أمنافقون هم؟ قال: إن المنافقين لا يذكرون اللَّه إلا قليلا، قيل: فما هم؟ قال: إخواننا بغوا علينا (٣).
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Bakhtari that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked about the people of Jamal. It is said that he was asked, "Were they polytheists?" Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "No! They had fled from polytheism." Then it was asked, "Were they hypocrites?" He replied, "No, hypocrites remember Allah only a little." Then it was asked, "Then who were they?" Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "They were our brothers who rebelled against us."
