Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Ubeydullah Al Halby, from a man, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^asws sent Ali^asws to Al-Yemen. A horse of a man from the people of Al-Yemen had escaped, and it had passed galloping by a man, and kicked him with its feed, so it had killed him. So the guardians of the killed one went over to the man and seized him, and brought him to Ali^asws. So the owner of the horse established the evidence in the presence of Ali^asws that his horse had escaped from his house and kicked the man’. So Ali^asws invalidated the blood (compensation) of their companion. So the guardians of the killed one came over from Al-Yemen, to Rasool-Allah^asws, so they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^asws! Ali^asws has been unjust to us and invalidated (the wergild) of our companion’. So Radool-Allah^saww said: ‘Ali^asws is not with injustice and had not been Created for the injustice. Verily, the Wilayah is for Ali^asws from after me^saww, and the (final) judgement is his^asws judgement, and the (final) words are his^asws words, and none would repudiate (deny) his^asws Wilayah, and his^asws words, and his^asws judgement except for an Infidel; and none would be pleased with his^asws Wilayah, and his^asws words, and his^asws judgements except for a Believer’. So when the Yemenis heard the words of Rasool-Allah^saww regarding Ali^asws, they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! We are pleased with the judgement of Ali^asws, and his^asws words’. So Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘It is your repentance from what you had said’.
