It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ghuraif that we were twelve thousand in number at the place of Maskan in the vanguard of Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), in such a state that we were longing for death. Due to the intense fighting with the people of Syria, drops (of blood) were dripping from our swords. Abu Amratah was our commander. Abu Ghuraif says: When the news of the reconciliation between Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Muawiyah reached us, it was as if our backs were broken with grief and anger at this news. The narrator Abu Ghuraif said: When Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Kufa, one of us, whose kunyah was Abu Amir, stood up and said, "Peace be upon you, O humiliator of the believers!" Hazrat Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "O Abu Amir, do not say this, but I disliked that I should kill them for the sake of seeking rule."
