English narration

Narrated by أسامة بن زيد الكلبي

(Usama's Maula) Usama (bin Zaid) sent me to `Ali (at Kufa) and said, "`Ali will ask you, 'What has prevented your companion from joining me?' You then should say to him, 'If you (`Ali) were in the mouth of a lion, I would like to be with you, but in this matter I won't take any part.' " Harmala added "`Ali didn't give me anything (when I conveyed the message to him) so I went to Hasan, Hussain and Ibn Ja`far and they loaded my camels with much (wealth).

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عَمْرٌو ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، أَنَّ حَرْمَلَةَ مَوْلَى أُسَامَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، قَالَ عَمْرٌو : قَدْ رَأَيْتُ حَرْمَلَةَ ، قَالَ : أَرْسَلَنِي أُسَامَةُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ، وَقَالَ : إِنَّهُ سَيَسْأَلُكَ الْآنَ ، فَيَقُولُ : مَا خَلَّفَ صَاحِبَكَ ، فَقُلْ لَهُ : يَقُولُ لَكَ : لَوْ كُنْتَ فِي شِدْقِ الْأَسَدِ لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ فِيهِ ، وَلَكِنَّ هَذَا أَمْرٌ لَمْ أَرَهُ ، فَلَمْ يُعْطِنِي شَيْئًا ، فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى حَسَنٍ ، وَحُسَيْنٍ ، وَابْنِ جَعْفَرٍ فَأَوْقَرُوا لِي رَاحِلَتِي .
