A man from them inclined away due to his grudge...
A man from them inclined away due to his grudge, and the other one inclined away due to his in-law relationship with this and that (excuse), until the third one of the group stood having his chest between the dung and the fodder, and the sons of his father (clan of Umayya) stood with him swallowing (digesting) the wealth of Allah -azwj like the digesting by the camel the foliage of spring, until his rope snapped and killed him, and his office equipped against him and his belly suppressed him.
Allegiances (pledged to) Ali -asws فَمَا رَاعَنِي إِلَّا وَ النَّاسُ [إِلَيَ] كَعُرْفِ الضَّبُعِ إِلَيَّ يَنْثَالُونَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ حَتَّى لَقَدْ وُطِئَ الْحَسَنَانِ وَ شُقَّ عِطْفَايَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ حَوْلِي كَرَبِيضَةِ الْغَنَمِ Nothing alarmed me -asws except and the crowd of people were rushing towards me -asws from every side to the extent that Al-Hassan -asws and Al-Husayn -asws were trampled and two shirts of my -asws shirt was torn.
They gathered around me -asws like the herd of sheep. فَلَمَّا نَهَضْتُ بِالْأَمْرِ نَكَثَتْ طَائِفَةٌ وَ مَرَقَتْ أُخْرَى وَ [فَسَقَ] قَسَطَ آخَرُونَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ [حَيْثُ] يَقُولُ- تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُها لِلَّذِينَ لا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لا فَساداً وَ الْعاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعُوهَا وَ وَعَوْهَا وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ حَلِيَتِ الدُّنْيَا فِي أَعْيُنِهِمْ وَ رَاقَهُمْ زِبْرِجُهَا When I -asws got up with the command, a party broke (the allegiance), and another one reneged (and were mischievous), others deviated as if they had not heard Allah -azwj the Glorious Saying: That is the House of the Hereafter.
We Make it to be for those who are not wanting to exalt themselves in the land nor make mischief, and the end-result is for the pious [28:83] . Yes, by Allah -azwj , they had heard it, and had retained it, but the world was adorned in their eyes, and its adornments seduced them.
أَمَا وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَوْ لَا حُضُورُ الْحَاضِرِ وَ قِيَامُ الْحُجَّةِ بِوُجُودِ النَّاصِرِ وَ مَا أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعُلَمَاءِ أَلَّا يُقَارُّوا عَلَى كِظَّةِ ظَالِمٍ وَ لَا سَغَبِ مَظْلُومٍ لَأَلْقَيْتُ حَبْلَهَا عَلَى غَارِبِهَا وَ لَسَقَيْتُ آخِرَهَا بِكَأْسِ أَوَّلِهَا وَ لَأَلْفَيْتُمْ دُنْيَاكُمْ هَذِهِ أَزْهَدَ عِنْدِي مِنْ عَفْطَةِ عَنْزٍ But, by the One -azwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person!
