Hazrat Abu Israil says that someone told me that Hazrat Talha was the first to pledge allegiance at the hand of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). A villager saw this and said that this matter will not be completed. Fazl says that I asked Abu Israil why he said this? He replied, because of his hand. (Hazrat Talha's hand had become paralyzed in the Battle of Uhud)
