It has been narrated to us Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al-No’man, from his father Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Muhammad Bin Sinan with an unbroken chain said:
‘Ayesha said, ‘Seek out a man for me who will have extreme enmity towards this man (Ali (as))’. He said, ‘I came to her with him, as if in front of her. She raised her head and said, ‘What is the level of your enmity for this man (as)?’
He said to her, ‘A lot. Many a times I have wished to my Lord (azwj), that he (as) and his (as) companions would be in my midst. I would then strike them with the striking of the sword, and would dye it with the blood’.
She said to him, ‘Go with this letter of mine and hand it over to him (as). Our guess is that you will see him (as) to be standing, but if you see him (as) to be riding on the mule of RasoolAllah (sawa), his (as) bow hanging from his (as) saddle, and his (as) companions following behind him (as) as if they are rows of birds. Give him this letter of mine and he (as) will present to you his (as) food and his (as) drink. Do not eat or drink from it anything, for there is sorcery in it!’
He said, ‘I met him (as) as a rider. I handed over to him (as) the letter. He (as) opened its seal and read it. He (as) said: ‘Let us reach our destination, eat our food and quench your thirst and we (as) will write the answer to your letter’.
He said, ‘This, by Allah (azwj) is what will not happen’. He said, ‘I continued walking behind him (as) along with his (as) companions, then he (as) said to me, ‘I (as) would like to ask you’. I said: ‘Yes’. He (as) said, ‘And you will answer me (as)’, He said: ‘Yes’.
He (as) said, ‘By Allah (azwj), she sought you. Did she say to you, ‘Seek out a man for me who has extreme enmity for this man (as)’. You were brought to her. She said to you, ‘What is the level of your enmity for this man (as)?’ You said, ‘A lot. Many a times I have wished to my Lord (azwj) that he (as) and his (as) companions would be in my midst and I would strike them by the sword until I dye it with the blood?’
He said, ‘O Lord Allah (azwj), yes!’
He (as) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), she sought you, and said to you, ‘Go with this letter of mine and hand it over to him (as). Our guess is that you will see him (as) to be standing, but if you see him (as) to be riding on the mule of the Messenger of Allah (sawa), his (as) bow hanging from his (as) saddle, and his (as) companions following behind him (as) as if they are rows of birds, give him this letter of mine’.
He said, ‘O Allah (azwj), yes!’
He (as) said: ‘By Allah (azwj) she sought you and did she say to you, ‘And he (as) will present to you his (as) food and his (as) drink. Do not eat or drink from it anything, for there is black magic in it?’
He said, ‘O Allah (azwj), yes!
He (as) said: ‘You will say what I (as) tell you?’
He said, ‘By Allah (azwj), yes, for I came to you (as) , and there was no creature on the earth more hateful to me than you (as), and at this time, there is not creature more beloved to me than you (as) . So order me with whatever that you so desire’.
He (as) said: ‘Return to her this letter and say to her: ‘There is no obedience to Allah (azwj) and His Rasool (sawa) unless you stay where Allah (azwj) has Necessitated (you to be) in your house’. ‘She came out twice among the soldiers’. And say to them: ‘What justice have you done to Allah (azwj) and His Rasool (sawa), where you left behind your own wives in your houses, and brought out the wife of Rasool-Allah (sawa)’.
He said, ‘I went with his (as) letter until I put it to her, and told her of the discourse, then returned to him (as). I was injured in Siffeen.
She said, ‘I do not send anyone to him (as) except that he (as) will cause mischief to us’
