ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

want, they themselves tried to flatter him. He wrote to his governors: (We will never<br />

forgive anyone, who narrates something about the virtue of Abu Turab or any of his<br />

family).[9] The orators hurried to respond. They began to curse Ali (s) on every minbar<br />

throughout the state. They declared their quittance from him and began to defame him<br />

and his family. The minbars, upon which Imam Ali was cursed, were more than seventy<br />

thousand ones. The public responded to the orators and believed them. You may<br />

estimate how many men sitting before each minbar of those seventy thousands and how<br />

many women and children were behind each one of those men, who certainly would<br />

listen to his sayings as he listened to the orators sayings. Their flesh would grow with<br />

those fabrications and their blood would flow in the veins with them. Then Moawiya<br />

wrote to his governors: (Dont accept any witness of the followers of Ali or his family)[10]<br />

to tighten the grip around the Shia, to disgrace them and to let them be liable to the<br />

oppressions of their enemies and to be a target for their arrows. Then Moawiya<br />

assigned great gifts and high positions for whomever narrated traditions ascribing virtues<br />

to Othman and his companions. Once again he wrote to his governors: (Criticizing Othman<br />

increased and spread in every country and every side. When this book reaches you, invite<br />

people to narrate traditions talking about the virtues of the companions and the first<br />

caliphs. Dont let any tradition narrated by any Muslim about the virtues of Abu Turab<br />

unless you fabricate same virtues to be ascribed to the companions. This will make me<br />

delighted and will refute the virtues of Abu Turab and will be harder to them (the Shia)<br />

than to mention the virtues and favors of Othman).[11] As soon as the book reached the<br />

hearings, the imaginations flew to invent news and to create traditions, some of which<br />

ascribed untrue virtues to the companions and the others defamed Ali (s) and this was the<br />

main aim of the fabricated traditions. We are not in need of saying or referring to the<br />

value of this muchness of traditions whether those that ascribed untrue virtues to the<br />

companions or those that defamed Ali (s). They were full of excessiveness, ridiculous<br />

ignorance, deadly grudge and malicious enmity. Neither these traditions nor those had<br />

any value and they wouldnt resist the hammer of criticism for a moment. They were<br />

born illegally and built upon a base of salt so as soon as moisture reached it, it melted. But<br />

the situation of the ruling authority at that time and the decrees issued by the (merchant)<br />

Moawiya were the active cause of activating this market, whose goods didnt face<br />

any recession. Moawiya looked forward to gain great (material) benefits from this<br />

market at the expense of the religious and moral principles. Those fabricated traditions
