Then Abu Abdillah...

Then Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him said: "This tradition ought to be written in gold." ‘Ali (as) praises his partisans He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Umar al-Ji’abi reported to me from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saeed, who reported from Abu Awanah, Musa ibn Yusuf al-Qattan, who reported from Ahmad ibn Yahya al-Awadi, who reported from Ismail ibn Aban, who reported from ‘Ali ibn Hashim ibn al-Bareed, from his father, from Abd al-Razzaq ibn Qais al-Rahbi, who said: I was sitting with ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, near the gate of the palace, till sunlight forced him to seek shelter near the palace wall.

So he hastened to enter, but a man from Hamdan stood up and clung to his clothes, saying: "O Amirul Mu’mineen, narrate to me a comprehensive tradition by which Allah may benefit me." He said: "Are there not enough traditions?" He said: "Yes, but narrate to me a comprehensive one which would benefit me." He said: "My friend, Prophet of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, narrated to me that, I shall arrive at the Pool with my Shi’ahs, with our thirsts already quenched.

‘Ali (as) exposes the hypocrite tribes He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Katib reported from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali al-Za'farani, from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, from Yusuf ibn Kulaib, from Mu'awiyah ibn Hisham, from al-Sabah ibn Yahya al-Muzani, from al-Harith ibn Husayrah, who said: A group from the companions of Amirul Mu’mineen reported to me that one day he said: "Call the fellow from the tribes of Ghunay and Bahilah (and another tribe they had named), and let them take their shares from the spoils.

By He Who splits the seed and created life, they (actually) have no share in Islam. And I am a witness, so is my status at the Pool and the Praised Station, that they are indeed the enemies in the world and the next. (If I had my way) I would punish Ghunay, which would terrify the Bahila.
