Abdullah bin Muhammad states that my respected father informed me that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said on the day of the Battle of Jamal: "We will treat these people kindly because of their testimony of 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah), and we will make ancestors the heirs of sons."

Thabit bin Ubaid narrates that I heard Abu Ja'far say that those who participated in the Battle of Jamal did not commit disbelief.

It is narrated from Amr bin Murrah that I heard Suwaid bin Harith saying: On the day of the Battle of Jamal, we saw that our spears and their spears were so interlocked that if people wanted, they could walk over them. Some people were raising the slogan of "Allahu Akbar," and some were raising the slogan of "Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar," and some people were saying, "There is no doubt in this. I wish I had not participated in this battle." And Abdullah bin Salamah used to say, "I do not find it good that I did not participate in the Battle of Jamal. I like to be present at every place where Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) is present."

40572 - And Abdullah ibn Salama says: But I would not have liked that I did not witness it, and I wished that every (occasion) (1) that Ali witnessed, I had witnessed.

Qais narrates that Marwan bin Hakam shot an arrow into the knee of Hazrat Talha on the day of the Battle of Jamal. Blood started to flow from it; whenever people tried to stop it, it would stop, and when they left it, the blood would start flowing again. Then Hazrat Talha said, "Leave it." When people tried to close the wound, the knee swelled up. Hazrat Talha said, "Leave it; this arrow is from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic." Then he passed away. We buried him on one side of Kala (a marketplace by the river). Someone from his family saw him in a dream, and he was saying, "Will you not save me from the water? I have drowned in the water." He said these words three times. His grave was dug up, and he had turned green like spinach. People removed the water from him, and when they took him out, the part of his beard and face that was in contact with the ground had been consumed by the earth. For him, a house from among the houses of the family of Abu Bakrah was bought for ten thousand dirhams, and Hazrat Talha was buried in it.

It is narrated from Qais that when Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reached a spring of Banu Amir, the dogs began to bark. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked, "Which spring is this?" The people informed her, "It is the spring of Haw'ab." So she stopped and said, "I should return." Talha and Zubair said to her, "Stay, may Allah have mercy on you. You should proceed; the Muslims have hope in you that through you Allah Almighty will reform them." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "I should return. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say—one day he informed about this day (what will happen when the dogs of Haw'ab will bark at one of you)."

It is narrated from Qais that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said near her death that I should be buried with the pure wives. After the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I adopted a certain way (went out for fighting).

Sa’d bin Ibrahim narrates from his father that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) received news that Hazrat Talha was saying,“I pledged allegiance in such a state that there was a sword on the back of my neck.”Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) to verify this news from the people. So Usama bin Zaid said,“I do not know about the sword, but he pledged allegiance with reluctance. People rushed towards him in such a way that it was close that they would kill him.”The narrator says that Hazrat Suhaib came out in such a state that I was on one of his sides. Then he looked towards me and said,“I think Umm ‘Awf is very angry.”

It is narrated from Abu Ja'far that on the day of the Battle of Jamal, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and his companions were weeping over Hazrat Talha and Hazrat Zubair.

It is narrated from Abu Nadrah that in the mosque of Banu Muslima of the tribe of Rabi’ah, we spoke with Hazrat Talha and said:“We had control over the enemy’s necks when we received the news that you had pledged allegiance to that person (Hazrat Ali, may Allah be pleased with him), and now you are fighting against him,”and they said some things of this sort. Hazrat Talha replied:“I was taken into a date orchard and a sword was placed on my neck, then I was told, ‘Pledge allegiance, otherwise we will kill you.’ So I pledged allegiance, and I knew that this was an allegiance of misguidance.”Taimi says that Walid bin Abdul Malik said:“From among the hypocrites of Iraq, a hypocrite named Jabalah bin Hakim said to Hazrat Zubair, ‘You have already pledged allegiance (then why this opposition)?’ Hazrat Zubair replied: ‘A sword was at the back of my neck, then I was told, ‘Pledge allegiance, otherwise we will kill you.’ So I pledged allegiance.’”
