By the sacred House of Allah...

By the sacred House of Allah, you have lied when you said: 'We will surpass Muhammad,' and when you said: 'we will fight him.' We will indeed protect him till we are knocked down around him, unmindful of our own children and our wives." The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny said: "Yes, that is it." Then a man from the Banu Kananah stood up and said: "Praise to you, and all praise to Him Who is All-Rewarding, We were blessed with rain because of the Prophet.

He prayed to Allah, His Creator, And turned his eyes unto Him; And before his glance returned, or quicker, the rain poured forth upon us. Bustling forth in abundance and exuberant, with which Allah succoured the prominent people of Mudhar.

So it was the way his uncle had said, his uncle Abu Talib, a man of exceeding grace; (he said): 'By his face shall Allah pour forth from the clouds,' so this is the witness and that was the information." The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said: "May Allah lodge you, O Kanani, for every couplet you have said, in a chamber in Paradise." Ubaidullah ibn Abbas and Mu’awiyah He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Katib reported to me from al-Hasan ibn Abdul Karim al-Za'farani, who reported from Abu Ishaq ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Warraq, who reported from Abdullah ibn al-Azraq al-Shaybani, who reported from Abu al-Jahhaf, from Mu’awiyah ibn Tha'labah who said: When Mu’awiyah found himself fully entrenched in his rule, he sent Busr ibn Artat to Hejaz, to hunt for the Shi’ahs of ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him.

At that time, Ubaidullah ibn al-Abbas governed Makkah. He (i.e. Busr) summoned him, but could not find him. Then he was informed that Ubaidullah had two infant sons. So he set out to reach them, and when he found them - they had two (tender) forelocks (shining) like pearls - he ordered to kill them. When their mother came to know this, her grief put her on the verge of death. At that moment, she said: "Ah! Who has heard about my two dear sons, who were like two pearls torn from their oyster! Ah!

Who has known about my two dear sons, who are my ears, my eyes! My heart today feels wrenched. I am informed that Busr (did it), but I cannot believe what they thought (of us) from (what I hear about) their speech and the falsehood they contrived.
