وَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِقَتْلِ قَيْنَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا تُغَنِّيَانِ بِهِجَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ قَالَ: اقْتُلُوهُمْ وَ لَوْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ مُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ And he -saww instructed them with killing two male singers who used to sing with defamatory poetry of Rasool-Allah -saww , and he -saww said: ‘Kill them, and even if you find them attaching themselves to the curtains of the Kabah!’ فَقَتَلَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ الْحُوَيْرِثَ بْنَ نُفَيْلٍ وَ إِحْدَى الْقَيْنَتَيْنِ وَ أَفْلَتَتِ الْأُخْرَى، وَ قَتَلَ مِقْيَسَ بْنَ صُبَابَةَ فِي السُّوقِ وَ أَدْرَكَ ابْنَ خَطَلٍ وَ هُوَ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ، فَاسْتَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَسَبَقَ سَعِيدٌ عَمَّاراً فَقَتَلَهُ Ali -asws kill Al Huweyris Bin Nufeyl and one of the two male singers, and the other one fled.

وَ سَعَى أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ وَ أَخَذَ غَرْزَهُ‏ فَقَبَّلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ مَا يَقُولُ سَعْدٌ؟ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَ الْيَوْمُ يَوْمُ الْمَلْحَمَةِ الْيَوْمُ تُسْبَى الْحُرَمَةُ And Abu Sufyan sprinted to Rasool-Allah -saww and grabbed his -saww rein and kissed it, then said, ‘By my father and my mother (be sacrificed for) you -saww ! But, did you -saww not hear what Saeed was saying?

He was saying (in prose), ‘And today is the epic day. Today the sanctities would be captivated’. فَقَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: أَدْرِكْهُ فَخُذِ الرَّايَةَ مِنْهُ وَ كُنْ أَنْتَ الَّذِي يُدْخِلُ بِهَا وَ أَدْخِلْهَا إِدْخَالًا رَفِيقاً، فَأَخَذَهَا عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ وَ أَدْخَلَهَا كَمَا أَمَرَ Rasool Allah -saww said to Ali -asws : ‘Meet up with him and take the flag off from him, and you -asws become the one who enters with it, and enter it a friendly entering!’ So Ali -asws took it and entered it just as he -asws had been instructed.
