It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah that Qais bin Sa’d bin Ubadah remained with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) at the front part of his army, and with him were five thousand people who, after the death of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), shaved their heads. So when Hazrat Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) entered into allegiance with Hazrat Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), Qais refused to enter. Then he said to his companions,“What do you want? If you wish, I will continue to fight with you always until the first among us dies, and if you wish, I will seek amnesty for you.”They said,“Seek amnesty for us.”So he made peace for them with some conditions and compensation, and stipulated that no kind of punishment would be given to them, and said,“I will be one of them,”and did not set any condition for himself. When he returned towards Madinah with his companions, he slaughtered a camel for them every day along the way until they reached Madinah.

Hazrat Abu Ja'far narrates that Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) heard something inappropriate from Hazrat Mughirah bin Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "If I wanted to hold him accountable for it, I would strike at his Achilles' heel."

It is narrated from Ibrahim that when Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Go, O Ibn Awf, taking with you your habit of satiation; you did not show any deficiency in it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ja'far that Hazrat Muhammad bin Sirin saw a man speaking ill of Hajjaj. He said: Surely Allah Almighty is the Judge and Just; He will take retribution from those who wronged Hajjaj, just as He will take retribution from Hajjaj for those upon whom he committed injustice.

Muawiyah bin Thalabah narrates that I came to Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah and said that Mukhtar’s messenger has come to us and he is calling us. He (Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah) said to me: Do not fight; I dislike to seize the matter of this Ummah or to rule over them unjustly.

It is narrated from Hazrat Harith Azdi that Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah says: May Allah have mercy on the person who keeps himself content, restrains his hand, keeps his tongue silent, and remains in his house, so that he is rewarded for what he has done and is with those whom he loves.

Abu Aqil narrates that we were in a valley at the door of Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, when his son came out of the house with two braids in his hair. He said, "O group of the companions of Ali (may Allah be pleased with him)! My father sends you greetings of peace." The narrator says that they became so respectful as if birds were sitting on their heads. Then he said, "My father says that we do not love those who curse, those who exceed limits, and those who hasten in matters of destiny."

Muhammad bin Hanafiyyah says that if Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had seen our condition, this valley would have been the place for his camel-litter.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Day of Judgment will not come until thirty liars appear; among them are Aswad Ansi, Musaylimah, and Mukhtar.
