It is narrated from Abu al-Duha, who says that a person related to me, who heard this from Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), that whenever he saw Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him), he would say: "Mughirah! Woe to you, whenever I have seen you, I have been afraid."

Abdullah bin Sinan narrates that we were in the mosque when Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) came to us and said, "O people of Kufa! Tonight, one hundred thousand dirhams have disappeared from your treasury, regarding which I have not received any letter from the Commander of the Faithful."

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah that he said: Beware of these tribulations, for whoever turns towards them, they destroy him. Be aware! Indeed, this nation has an appointed time and a fixed term; if all the people of the earth wish to remove their rule within this term, they will not be able to do so until Allah Himself permits it. Can you move these mountains?!

Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) sent me to divide a piece of land between Hazrat Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Khabbab (may Allah be pleased with him), so they started throwing pebbles at each other. When I returned and informed Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) about this, he began to laugh so much that he struck his foot on the ground and said that the land would be about the size of this mosque or a little bigger than it. Then he said,“Why didn’t you stop them?”

It is narrated about Hazrat Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) that once pieces of meat were brought to him, and he said to those present, "Tear it and eat."

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that when allegiance was pledged at the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), he came to me and said, "The people of Syria love you, and I appoint you as their governor; you should go to them." I mentioned to him our kinship and marital relations and submitted, "By Allah! I will not pledge allegiance to you." He says that Hazrat Ali left me and went away. Later, Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to Umm Kulthum, greeted her, and set out towards Makkah. People came to Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and said that Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) has gone towards Syria. So he demanded that people go out and said, "Let someone go quickly and put his sheet around the neck of his camel." It is said that someone conveyed this news to Umm Kulthum, so she sent a message to her respected father, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), saying, "What are you doing? He came to me, greeted me, and went towards Makkah." Upon hearing this, the people returned.

Hazrat Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said that we used to take pride among people through four men: through our jurist, our preacher, our muezzin, and our reciter. Our jurist was Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them), our muezzin was Abu Mahzoorah, our preacher was Ubaid bin Umair, and our reciter was Abdullah bin Sa’ib.

Mujahid says that when Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) decided to demolish the Kaaba, we went towards Mina and we were waiting for punishment.

Hazrat Safiyyah narrates that Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) entered the Sacred Mosque while Hazrat Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) was hanging on the gallows. People said to him that Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) is coming. Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) went to Hazrat Asma and advised and counseled her, saying that the body has no real significance, and souls are with Allah Almighty. Be patient! And hope for reward from Allah Almighty! She replied, "What can prevent me from being patient? When the head of Yahya bin Zakariya (peace be upon him) was given to a wicked woman of the Children of Israel."

Ibn Abi Mulaykah narrates that after the killing of Hazrat Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), I went to Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her). She said, "I have heard that people have crucified Abdullah upside down, and along with him, they have also hung a cat. By Allah, I wish that before my death, his body is given to me so that I may wash him, apply fragrance, shroud him, and bury him." Shortly after, a letter from Abdul Malik arrived stating that his body should be handed over to his family. Thus, he was brought to Hazrat Asma, and she washed him, applied fragrance, shrouded him, and buried him.
