I -saww will place my -saww feet on those places where they will die, then you will see that there will be no difference in that, neither more nor less from these spots’ (when the battle is finished). So, none of them who had agreed wanted to go there (to witness) except Imam Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws alone, and Imam Ali -asws said: ‘Yes, in the Name of Allah -azwj ‘.

The rest of them said: ‘We need provisions and expenses for this, and it is not possible to return from there, for it is a journey of days’. Rasool-Allah -saww said to the rest of the Jews: ‘What have you got to say?’ They said: ‘We want to settle down in our homes, and have no need to witness what you -saww claim for your -saww enemies’. Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘I -saww do not want to give you the difficulty of walking up to there.

Take one step, and Allah -azwj will Fold the earth in such a way for you that by your second step you will be over there’. The believers said: ‘Rasool-Allah -saww speaks the truth; we will be honoured by these Signs’.

And the infidels and the hypocrites said: ‘We will all examine this lie and cut off the excuse of Prophet Mohammed -saww , and let this claim of his -saww be a proof over him -saww , and the exposure of his -saww lie.’ The Holy Imam Hassan Al-Askari -asws said: ‘The people took one step, then another, and found themselves by the well of Badar’. Rasool-Allah -saww went and said: ‘Make the well as a reference.

And at a certain distance from it he -saww said: ‘This is the death place of Abu Jahl -la , and a certain man of the Helpers will wound him -la and an elderly companion of mine -saww will kill him -la ‘. Then the Holy Imam Hassan Al-Askari -asws said: ‘Rasool Allah -saww measured from this well in another direction, then another, then another, such and such a distance, and mentioned different distances.

When all the counting and measuring had completed, Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘This is the death place of Otbah, and that is the death place of Sheyba, and that is the death place of Waleed, and they will be killed by such and such’ – until he -saww had named all seventy of them with their names – ‘and such and such will be made captive’ – until he -saww had named seventy of them with their names and their fathers names and their characteristics, and detailed their lineage from their fathers, and the lineage of their friends as well’.

Then Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘Are you all aware now of what I -saww have informed you of?’ They said: ‘Yes’.
