Narrated Nafi’:
When the people of Medina dethroned Yazid bin Muawiya, Ibn ‘Umar gathered his special friends
and children and said, “I heard the Prophet saying, ‘A flag will be fixed for every betrayer on the Day
of Resurrection,’ and we have given the oath of allegiance to this person (Yazid) in accordance with

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 88: AFFLICTIONS AND THE END OF THE WORLD
the conditions enjoined by Allah and His Apostle and I do not know of anything more faithless than
fighting a person who has been given the oath of allegiance in accordance with the conditions en –
joined by Allah and His Apostle , and if ever I learn that any person among you has agreed to de –
throne Yazid, by giving the oath of allegiance (to somebody else) then there will be separation
between him and me.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 226:
Narrated Harmala:
(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 ad –
ded: “‘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).”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 225:
Narrated Al-Hasan Al-Basri:
When Al-Hasan bin ‘Ali moved with army units against Muawiya, ‘Amr bin AL-As said to Muaw –
iya, “I see an army that will not retreat unless and until the opposing army retreats.” Muawiya said,
“(If the Muslims are killed) who will look after their children?” ‘Amr bin Al-As said: I (will look after
them). On that, ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir and ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Samura said, “Let us meet Muawaiya
and suggest peace.” Al-Hasan Al-Basri added: No doubt, I heard that Abu Bakra said, “Once while the
Prophet was addressing (the people), Al-Hasan (bin ‘Ali) came and the Prophet said, ‘This son of mine
is a chief, and Allah may make peace between two groups of Muslims through him.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 224:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:

Narrated Shaqiq bin Salama:
I was sitting with Abu Mas’ud and Abu Musa and ‘Ammar. Abu Mas’ud said (to ‘Ammar), “There is
none of your companions but, if I wish, I could find fault with him except with you. Since you joined
the company of the Prophet I have never seen anything done by you more criticizable by me than

SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 9 > BOOK 88: AFFLICTIONS AND THE END OF THE WORLD
your haste in this issue.” ‘Ammar said, O Abu Mas’ud ! I have never seen anything done by you or by
this companion of yours (i.e., Abu Musa) more criticizable by me than your keeping away from this
issue since the time you both joined the company of the Prophet.”
Then Abu Mas’ud who was a rich man, said (to his servant), “O boy! Bring two suits.” Then he gave
one to Abu Musa and the other to ‘Ammar and said (to them), “Put on these suits before going for the
Friday prayer. “
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 222:
Narrated Abu Wail:
Abu Musa and Abii Mas’ud went to ‘Ammar when ‘Ali had sent him to Kufa to exhort them to fight
(on ‘Ali’s side). They said to him, “Since you have become a Muslim, we have never seen you doing a
deed more criticizable to us than your haste in this matter.” ‘Ammar said, “Since you (both) became
Muslims, I have never seen you doing a deed more criticizable to me than your keeping away from
this matter.” Then Abu Mas’ud provided ‘Ammar and Abu Musa with two-piece outfits to wear, and
one of them went to the mosque (of Kufa).
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 221:
Narrated Abu Wail:
‘Ammar stood on the pulpit at Kufa and mentioned ‘Aisha and her coming (to Busra) and said, “She
is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter, but you people are being put to test in
this issue.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 220:
Narrated Abu Maryam Abdullah bin Ziyad Al-Aasadi:
When Talha, AzZubair and ‘Aisha moved to Basra, ‘Ali sent ‘Ammar bin Yasir and Hasan bin ‘Ali
who came to us at Kufa and ascended the pulpit. Al-Hasan bin ‘Ali was at the top of the pulpit and
‘Ammar was below Al-Hasan. We all gathered before him. I heard ‘Ammar saying, “‘Aisha has moved
to Al-Busra. By Allah! She is the wife of your Prophet in this world and in the Hereafter. But Allah
has put you to test whether you obey Him (Allah) or her (‘Aisha).”
