\n Abu Abdullah -asws said...

\n Abu Abdullah -asws said: \u2018So the Rasool -saww of Allah -azwj looked towards Jibraeel -as who was on a seat of gold in between the sky and the earth and he was saying: \u2018There is not sword except for Zul-Fiqar (Sword which Jibraeel -as brought) and no warrior like Ali -asws \u2019.

[1] \n The narrator of the Hadith says: \n Abu Abdullah -asws has said: \u2018When the people (Muslims) were (initially) defeated on the Day of Uhud and fled from the Prophet -saww , he -saww turned towards them with his -saww face and was saying: \u2018I -saww am Muhammad -saww ! I -saww am Rasool Allah -saww ! I -saww have neither been killed nor have I -saww died\u2019.

So and so, and so and so turned towards him -saww saying, \u2018Now he -saww is mocking with us as well and we have been defeated. And there remained with him -saww Imam Ali -asws and Samaak Bin Kharsha Abu Dujana -ra , may Allah -azwj have Mercy on him. \n So, the Prophet -saww called Samaak Bin Kharsha Abu Dujana -ra over and said: \u2018O Abu Dujana! Leave, for you -ra are free from your Baayt (pledge of allegiance).

As for Ali -asws , so I -saww am from him -asws and he -asws is from me -saww \u2019.\u00a0 So he -ra came over and sat down in front of the Prophet -saww and wept, and said, \u2018No, by Allah -azwj !\u2019 And he -ra raised his -ra head towards the sky and said, \u2018No, by Allah -azwj ! I -ra will not free myself from my Baayt (pledge of allegiance).

I -ra gave my -ra Baayt to you -saww , so where shall I -ra go, to a wife who will die, or a son who will die, or a house which will be ruined and wealth which will be destroyed, and a term (death) which comes nearer?\u2019 So, the Prophet -saww left him -ra , and he -ra did not stop fighting until he was weakened by the wounds and he -ra was on one side of him -saww and Imam Ali -asws was on the other side of him -saww .

\n So, when he -ra dropped, Imam Ali -asws carried him -ra to the Prophet -saww and placed him -ra in his -saww presence. So, he -ra said, \u2018O Rasool Allah -saww , have I -ra been loyal to my -ra Baayt?\u2019 Rasool Allah -saww said: \u2018Yes\u2019. And the Prophet -saww said good things for him -ra . While the people were attacking the Prophet -saww from the right, Imam Ali -asws defended him -saww . But when Imam Ali -asws defended him -saww , they attacked the Prophet -saww from the left.

That situation did not cease until his -asws sword broke into three pieces. So he -asws came to the Prophet -saww .
