ABU TALIB The faithful of Quraysh<br />

places). Besides this war there was another war. It was the pursuit of everyone, whose<br />

heart had a bit of love to Ali or whose tongue murmured in praising him or mentioning him<br />

favorably. Whoever was found to be of those would be given the option to choose<br />

between the sword and the acquittance from Ali. Hujr bin Adiy and his companions had<br />

showed the great example of sacrifice for the sake of the deep-rooted belief and the true<br />

faith, which would never be bent before the wind or be frightened by the assaulting<br />

sword. Moawiya, who bought the rule of the Muslims and changed the caliphate into a<br />

hereditary monarchy, was not of that kind that his excessiveness of abusing Ali would be<br />

prevented by anything. He wanted it to be a lasting heresy recorded by the time every<br />

day with dark letters to be fixed in the history of this perfidious tyrant. It was mentioned<br />

that some of the Umayyads advised Moawiya and said to him: You have got what<br />

you want. Dont you stop cursing this man (Ali)? He said: No, by <strong>All</strong>ah, until the child<br />

grows and the adult becomes old with it and until no one will mention a virtue of him.[30]<br />

Moawiya wasnt satisfied with cursing Ali but he exceeded to degrade the sanctity of<br />

the Prophet and his prophecy. Mutrif bin al-Mugheera bin Shuba said: I came with my<br />

father to Moawiya. My father talked with Moawiya and then he came to tell about<br />

him. He became astonished about him. One night he came and refused to have his dinner.<br />

I found that he was very sad. I thought that something might have happened to us or to<br />

our business. I wait for a moment and then I asked him: Why are you unhappy tonight?<br />

He said: O my son! I came from the most malicious and the most unfaithful one. I said:<br />

what happened? He said: I said to him (Moawiya) when we were alone: O amirul<br />

momineen, you have achieved your aims. Why dont you do justice and good? You<br />

have become so old. You may pay attention to your brothers of the Hashemites and take<br />

care of them. By <strong>All</strong>ah, they have nothing today that you may fear! He said to me:<br />

How far! The man of Taym[31] ruled and wronged and did what he did. By <strong>All</strong>ah, as soon<br />

as he died, his mention died with him. People may remember him and just say Abu Bakr.<br />

Then the man of Adiy[32] ruled for ten years. As soon as he died, his mention died with<br />

him. People may remember him and say Omar. Then our brother Othman ruled. No one<br />

had lineage like him. He did what he did and people did to him what they did. As soon as<br />

he died, his mention and what happened to him died with him. But the man of Hashem;[33]<br />

everyday his name is announced five times (I witness that Muhammad is the messenger<br />

[of <strong>All</strong>ah). So which thing will last after this? May be buried their mention![34<br />
