O citizens of Medina...

O citizens of Medina, slaughter and feast, O camel owners, come hereby and take revenge (4) And take note that the editor to al-Mujam-al Kabir namely Mahshi Hamdi Abdulmajeed Salafi, has stated regarding this tradition: “All narrators of this tradition are narrators of Sahih with the exception of Abd al-Momin bin Ali but he is Thiqa”. Along the same lines al-Haythami in Majmua al-Zawaid,(5) has certified the tradition as authentic.

Dhahabi in the same work records a very humorous incident worth mentioning: دخل الأشعث على علي في شيء فتهدده بالموت فقال علي بالموت تهددني ما أباليه هاتوا لي جامعة وقيدا ثم أومأ إلى أصحابه قال فطلبوا إليه فيه فی تركه Asha’ath went to Ali for some work, however (due to his lowly stature) he began to threaten to kill Ali. Ali said: ‘You want me to fear death, I am not unnerved by it, bring forth a collar chain and a sharp knife’. Then Ali pointed towards his companions (i.e.

arrest this man), but upon their intercession on Asha’ath behalf, Ali let him go (6). Despite his apostasy (Irtad) and disbelief (kufr) what was the reason behind giving him such benefits and grants? The daughter of this brother in law of Abu Bakar poisoned Imam Hassan (as) while Ja’da’s Brother Muhammad was the key men to Ubaydullah Ibn Ziyad and played a vital role against Muhammad bin Aqil (as).

What shall we learn from warm and healthy relations the father of Ja’da had with the rulers and that of his policy of betrayal and hypocrisy towards Ali bin Abi Talib (as)?
