APPENDIX II: Women walk with funeral of Step-daughter of Rasool Allah -saww عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ وَ هُوَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ الْحَارِثِيُّ قَالَ سَأَلَ عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ تَخْرُجُ النِّسَاءُ إِلَى الْجَنَازَةِ وَ كَانَ ( عليه السلام ) مُتَّكِئاً فَاسْتَوَى جَالِساً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْفَاسِقَ عَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ آوَى عَمَّهُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ هَدَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) دَمَهُ فَقَالَ لِابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا تُخْبِرِي أَبَاكِ بِمَكَانِهِ كَأَنَّهُ لَا يُوقِنُ أَنَّ الْوَحْيَ يَأْتِي مُحَمَّداً Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Kufy, from one of his companions, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yazeed Bin Khalifa Al Khowlany, and he is Yazeed Bin Khalifa Al Harsy who said, ‘Isa Bin Abdullah asked Abu Abdullah -asws , and I was present, so he said, ‘The women are going out to the funeral’.
And he -asws was reclining, so he -asws sat upright, then said: ‘The evil-doer, may the Curse of Allah -azwj be upon him. Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as, his uncle sheltered him, and he was from the ones Rasool-Allah -saww permitted his -saww blood to be spilled (killed). He (his uncle) said to a daughter of Rasool-Allah -saww , ‘Do not inform your father -saww of his (Mugheira’s) whereabouts’. It was as if he had no conviction that the Revelation comes to Muhammad -saww .
فَقَالَتْ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَكْتُمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَدُوَّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ بَيْنَ مِشْجَبٍ لَهُ وَ لَحَفَهُ بِقَطِيفَةٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْوَحْيُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَكَانِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَالَ اشْتَمِلْ عَلَى سَيْفِكَ ائْتِ بَيْتَ ابْنَةِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ فَإِنْ ظَفِرْتَ بِالْمُغِيرَةِ فَاقْتُلْهُ So she said, ‘I was not one to conceal from Rasool-Allah -saww the whereabouts of his -saww enemy’.
So he made him (the evil-doer) to be inside a cupboard of his and wrapped him in a velvet cloth. So Revelation came to Rasool-Allah -saww , and he -saww was informed of his (hiding) place. So he -saww sent Ali -asws to him and said: ‘Wrap up upon your -asws sword, go to the house of the daughter of your cousin, and if you get hold of Al-Mugheira, so kill him’.
