And it was said to him -asws , ‘Write with this and send a messenger to Rasool-Allah -saww ’. But Ali -asws said: ‘The messenger of Allah -azwj to Rasool-Allah -saww would be quicker and His -azwj letter to him -saww would get there earlier’.
وَ لَمْ يُخْبِرْهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِمَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع عَلَى بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنَّ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مُنَافِقِينَ سَيَكِيدُونَهُ وَ يَدْفَعُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ And Rasool-Allah -saww did not inform them with that Ali -asws had said at the gateway of Al-Medina, that the ones with Rasool-Allah -saww would be plotting against him -saww , and that Allah -azwj the Exalted would Defend him -saww ’.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْأَرْبَعَةُ وَ الْعِشْرُونَ أَصْحَابُ الْعَقَبَةِ مَا قَالَهُ ص فِي أَمْرِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ مَا أَمْهَرَ مُحَمَّداً بِالْمَخْرَقَةِ إِنَّ فَيْجاً مُسْرِعاً أَتَاهُ أَوْ طَيْراً مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِهِ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً قُتِلَ بِحِيلَةِ كَذَا فَهُوَ الَّذِي وَاطَأَنَا عَلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُنَا فَهُوَ الْآنَ لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ كَتَمَ الْخَبَرَ وَ قَلَبَهُ إِلَى ضِدِّهِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُسَكِّنَ مَنْ مَعَهُ لِئَلَّا يَمُدُّوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ When the twenty-four companions at Al-Aqaba heard what he -saww said regarding the matter of Ali -asws , some of them said to the others, ‘What an expert Muhammad -saww is with the trickery.
A quick pigeon came to him -asws or a bird from Al-Medina from one of his -saww family members and fell upon him -saww ! Ali -asws has already been killed by such and such a ploy – and it is which has occurred upon him -asws by our companions, but he -saww at the moment, due to what has reached him -saww , is concealing the news, and facing it to its opposite, intending to calm the ones who are with him -saww , lest they extend their hands against him -saww (now that Ali -asws has been killed).
However, Allah -azwj did not Let Ali -asws remain in Al-Medina except for a while, and He -azwj did not Let Muhammad -saww come out to over here except for a while. And Ali -asws has perished, and he -saww will be perishing over here inevitably.
