I asked Abu Wail, “Did you witness the battle of Siffin between ‘Ali and Muawiya?” He said, “Yes,”
and added, “Then I heard Sahl bin Hunaif saying, ‘O people! Blame your personal opinions in your
religion. No doubt, I remember myself on the day of Abi Jandal; if I had the power to refuse the order
of Allah’s Apostle, I would have refused it.
We have never put our swords on our shoulders to get involved in a situation that might have
been horrible for us, but those swords brought us to victory and peace, except this present situation.’
” Abu Wail said, “I witnessed the battle of Siffin, and how nasty Siffin was!”

added. “Then (after this period) Allah will send water from the sky and then the dead bodies will
grow like vegetation grows, There is nothing of the human body that does not decay except one
bone; that is the little bone at the end of the coccyx of which the human body will be recreated on
the Day of Resurrection.” (See Hadith No. 338)

I asked Abu Wail, “Did you take part in the battle of Siffin?” He said, ‘Yes, and I heard Sahl bin
Hunaif (when he was blamed for lack of zeal for fighting) saying, “You’d better blame your wrong
opinions. I wish you had seen me on the day of Abu Jandal. If I had the courage to disobey the
Prophet’s orders, I would have done so. We had kept out swords on our necks and shoulders, for a
thing which frightened us. And we did so, we found it easier for us, except in the case of the above
battle (of ours).’ “
