[10] The Strength of the Strike of Amir ul-Momineen on the Day of Khyber: الْبُرْسِيُّ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَنْوَارِ قَالَ: لَمَّا جَاءَتْ صَفِيَّةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَتْ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ وَجْهاً فَرَأَى فِي وَجْهِهَا شَجَّةً فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ وَ أَنْتِ ابْنَةُ الْمُلُوكِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً ع لَمَّا قَدِمَ إِلَى الْحِصْنِ هَزَّ الْبَابَ فَاهْتَزَّ الْحِصْنُ وَ سَقَطَ مَنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ النَّظَّارَةِ وَ ارْتَجَفَ بِيَ السَّرِيرُ فَسَقَطْتُ لِوَجْهِي فَشَجَّنِي جَانِبُ السَّرِيرِ Al-Bursy in (the book) ‘Mashariq Al-Anwaar’ said, ‘When Safiya came to Rasool-Allah -saww , and she was from the most beautiful of the people of face, he -saww saw a bruise in her face.
He -saww said: ‘What is this, and you are a daughter of the king?’ She said, ‘When Ali -asws came to the fort, he -asws shook the door, so the fort shook and the ones from the onlookers who were upon it fell down and the bed trembled with me, so I fell down onto my face, and the side of the bed bruised me’.
Ali -asws is magnificent in the Presence of Allah -azwj , and when he -asws shook the door, the fort shook, and the seven skies and the seven earths shook, and the Throne of the Beneficent shook in anger for (the support of) Ali -asws ’.
وَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ لَمَّا سَأَلَهُ عُمَرُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ لَقَدِ اقْتَلَعْتَ مَنِيعاً وَ أَنْتَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ خَمِيصاً فَهَلْ قَلَعْتَهَا بِقُوَّةٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ فَقَالَ مَا قَلَعْتُهَا بِقُوَّةٍ بَشَرِيَّةٍ وَ لَكِنْ قَلَعْتُهَا بِقُوَّةٍ إِلَهِيَّةٍ وَ نَفْسٍ بِلِقَاءِ رَبِّهَا مُطْمَئِنَّةٍ رَضِيَّةٍ And during that day, when Umar asked him -asws saying, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan -asws !
You -asws uprooted the fortress door and you -asws have been hungry for three days, so did you -asws uproot it with the strength of a mortal?’ He -asws said: ‘I -asws did not uproot it with the strength of a mortal, but I -asws uprooted it with the Divine Strength, and my -asws soul was content with meeting its Lord -azwj ’.
