سمعت أبا عليٍّ الحافظ يقول: سمعت ابن قُتَيبة يقول: سمعت إبراهيم بن يعقوب يقول: قد أدرَكَ حُجْرُ بن عَدِيٍّ الجاهليةَ، وأكَلَ الدَّمَ فيها، ثم صَحِبَ رسول الله ﷺ وسمع منه، وشَهِدَ مع عليّ بن أبي طالب له الجَمَل وصِفِّينَ، وقُتِل في مُوالاةِ عليّ (1).
Sayyiduna Hujr bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) lived in the time of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah) and in that era he even tasted blood (according to the custom of the Jahiliyyah). Then he attained the honour of companionship with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and heard hadith from him (peace and blessings be upon him). He took part in the Battles of the Camel and Siffin alongside Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), and he was martyred precisely because of his loyalty to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
أخبرنا أبو بكر محمد بن عبد الله بن عتَّاب العَبْدي ببغداد، حَدَّثَنَا أحمد بن عُبيد الله النَّرْسي. حَدَّثَنَا عمرو بن عاصمٍ الكِلَابيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حمّاد بن سَلَمة، عن علي بن زيد، عن سعيد بن المسيّب، عن مروان بن الحَكَم قال: دخلتُ مع معاوية على أُم المؤمنين عائشة، فقالت: يا معاوية، قتلتَ حُجْرًا وأصحابَه، وفعلتَ الذي فعلتَ! وذَكَرَ الحكايةَ بطولها (2). ذكرُ مناقب عِمْران بن الحُصَين الخُزاعي ﵁ -
It is narrated from Marwan bin al-Hakam that he said: I went with Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) to the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she said: "O Mu'awiyah! You killed Hujr and his companions, and you did all that you did!" Then the narrator mentioned this long story.
