سَأَلَ عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ تَخْرُجُ النِّسَاءُ إِلَى الْجَنَازَةِ وَ كَانَ ( عليه السلام ) مُتَّكِئاً فَاسْتَوَى جَالِساً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْفَاسِقَ عَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ آوَى عَمَّهُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ هَدَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) دَمَهُ فَقَالَ لِابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَا تُخْبِرِي أَبَاكِ بِمَكَانِهِ كَأَنَّهُ لَا يُوقِنُ أَنَّ الْوَحْيَ يَأْتِي مُحَمَّداً فَقَالَتْ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَكْتُمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَدُوَّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ بَيْنَ مِشْجَبٍ لَهُ وَ لَحَفَهُ بِقَطِيفَةٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْوَحْيُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَكَانِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَالَ اشْتَمِلْ عَلَى سَيْفِكَ ائْتِ بَيْتَ ابْنَةِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ فَإِنْ ظَفِرْتَ بِالْمُغِيرَةِ فَاقْتُلْهُ فَأَتَى الْبَيْتَ فَجَالَ فِيهِ فَلَمْ يَظْفَرْ بِهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْوَحْيَ قَدْ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ فِي الْمِشْجَبِ وَ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَمِّهِ فَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَيِيّاً كَرِيماً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا عَمِّي هَذَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَفَدَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ آمَنْتَهُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ كَذَبَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ مَا آمَنَهُ فَأَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثاً وَ أَعَادَهَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) ثَلَاثاً أَنَّى آمَنَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ ثَلَاثاً فَإِنْ قَدَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ثَالِثَةٍ قَتَلْتُهُ فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُؤْوِيهِ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يَحْمِلُهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُطْعِمُهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يَسْقِيهِ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُجَهِّزُهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُعْطِيهِ سِقَاءً أَوْ حِذَاءً أَوْ رِشَاءً أَوْ وِعَاءً وَ هُوَ يَعُدُّهُنَّ بِيَمِينِهِ وَ انْطَلَقَ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ فَآوَاهُ وَ أَطْعَمَهُ وَ سَقَاهُ وَ حَمَلَهُ وَ جَهَّزَهُ حَتَّى فَعَلَ جَمِيعَ مَا لَعَنَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ يَفْعَلُهُ بِهِ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ يَسُوقُهُ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَبْيَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى أَعْطَبَ اللَّهُ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَ نُقِبَ حِذَاهُ وَ وَرِمَتْ قَدَمَاهُ فَاسْتَعَانَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَ أَثْقَلَهُ جَهَازُهُ حَتَّى وَجَسَ بِهِ فَأَتَى شَجَرَةً فَاسْتَظَلَّ بِهَا لَوْ أَتَاهَا بَعْضُكُمْ مَا أَبْهَرَهُ ذَلِكَ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْوَحْيُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَدَعَا عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ خُذْ سَيْفَكَ وَ انْطَلِقْ أَنْتَ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ ثَالِثٌ لَهُمْ فَأْتِ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَتَلَهُ فَضَرَبَ عُثْمَانُ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ قَالَ أَنْتِ أَخْبَرْتِ أَبَاكِ بِمَكَانِهِ فَبَعَثَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) تَشْكُو مَا لَقِيَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) اقْنَيْ حَيَاءَكِ مَا أَقْبَحَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ ذَاتِ حَسَبٍ وَ دِينٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تَشْكُو زَوْجَهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مَرَّاتٍ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ لَهَا ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ دَعَا عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) وَ قَالَ خُذْ سَيْفَكَ وَ اشْتَمِلْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ائْتِ بَيْتَ ابْنَةِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ فَخُذْ بِيَدِهَا فَإِنْ حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهَا أَحَدٌ فَاحْطِمْهُ بِالسَّيْفِ وَ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَالْوَالِهِ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ إِلَى دَارِ عُثْمَانَ فَأَخْرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ رَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا بِالْبُكَاءِ وَ اسْتَعْبَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ بَكَى ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهَا مَنْزِلَهُ وَ كَشَفَتْ عَنْ ظَهْرِهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى مَا بِظَهْرِهَا قَالَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا لَهُ قَتَلَكِ قَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ وَ بَاتَ عُثْمَانُ مُلْتَحِفاً بِجَارِيَتِهَا فَمَكَثَ الْإِثْنَيْنَ وَ الثَّلَاثَاءَ وَ مَاتَتْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ بِهَا أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَاطِمَةَ ( عليها السلام ) فَخَرَجَتْ ( عليها السلام ) وَ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَعَهَا وَ خَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ يُشَيِّعُ جَنَازَتَهَا فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ مَنْ أَطَافَ الْبَارِحَةَ بِأَهْلِهِ أَوْ بِفَتَاتِهِ فَلَا يَتْبَعَنَّ جَنَازَتَهَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً فَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ قَالَ لَيَنْصَرِفَنَّ أَوْ لَأُسَمِّيَنَّ بِاسْمِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عُثْمَانُ مُتَوَكِّئاً عَلَى مَوْلًى لَهُ مُمْسِكاً بِبَطْنِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَشْتَكِي بَطْنِي فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْصَرِفُ قَالَ انْصَرِفْ وَ خَرَجَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ( عليها السلام ) وَ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَصَلَّيْنَ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ

Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Kufy, from one of his companions, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yazeed Bin Khalifa Al Khowlany, and he is Yazeed Bin Khalifa Al Harsy who said, ‘Isa Bin Abdullah asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and I was present, so he said, ‘The women are going out to the funeral’. And he<sup>asws</sup> was reclining, so he<sup>asws</sup> sat upright, then said: ‘The evil-doer, may the Curse of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> be upon him. Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as, his uncle sheltered him, and he was from the ones Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> permitted his<sup>saww</sup> blood to be spilled (killed). He (his uncle) said to a daughter of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, ‘Do not inform your father<sup>saww</sup> of his (Mugheira’s) whereabouts’. It was as if he had no conviction that the Revelation comes to Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>. So she said, ‘I was not one to conceal from Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> the whereabouts of his<sup>saww</sup> enemy’. So he made him (the evil-doer) to be inside a cupboard of his and wrapped him in a velvet cloth. So Revelation came to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, and he<sup>saww</sup> was informed of his (hiding) place. So he<sup>saww</sup> sent Ali<sup>asws</sup> to him and said: ‘Wrap up upon your<sup>asws</sup> sword, go to the house of the daughter of your cousin, and if you get hold of Al-Mugheira, so kill him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> went to the house and looked around in it but did not come across him. So he<sup>asws</sup> returned to Rasool-Allah<sup>as</sup> and informed him<sup>saww</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>, I<sup>asws</sup> did not see him’. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The Revelation had come to me<sup>saww</sup> and informed me<sup>saww</sup> that he is in the cupboard. And Usman came over after the exit of Ali<sup>asws</sup>, so he grabbed the hand of his uncle and came over with him to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>. So when he<sup>saww</sup> saw him, he<sup>saww</sup> stumbled upon him and did not turn towards him. And the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> was bashful, benevolent. So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! This is my uncle. This is Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as who has come. By the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who Sent you<sup>saww</sup>! You<sup>saww</sup> have granted him safety’. Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And he (Usman) lied, by the One<sup>azwj</sup> Who Sent him<sup>saww</sup> with the Truth, he<sup>saww</sup> did not grant him safety. So he repeated it three times, and Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> repeated it three times: ‘I<sup>asws</sup> believe him except that he came to him<sup>saww</sup> from his<sup>saww</sup> right, then came to him<sup>saww</sup> from his<sup>saw</sup> left. So when it was during the fourth time, he<sup>saww</sup> raised his<sup>saww</sup> head and said to him: ‘I<sup>saww</sup> give you three days, so if I<sup>saww</sup> were to find him after three days, he would be killed’. So when he turned around Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Curse Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as, and Curse the one who shelters him, and Curse the one who carries him, and Curse the one who feeds him, and Curse the one who quenches him, and Curse the one who equips him, and Curse the one who gives him a drink, or shoes, or clothes, or plates, and gives him with his right hand. And Usman went with him, so he sheltered him, and fed him, and quenched him, and carried him, and equipped him until he had done the entirety of what the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> had cursed upon for the one who did so with him. Then he (Usman) brought him out during the fourth day, ushering him (behind him). So he had not come out from the houses of Al-Medina until Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Damaged his ride, and Punctured his shoes, and his feet swelled up. So he took assistance by his hands and his knees, and his supplied weighted him down until he became afraid of his life. So he went over to a tree to seek the shade with it. If one of you had gone to it, he would not have missed him (as his condition was miserable). So Revelation came unto Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> and he<sup>saww</sup> was informed with that. So he<sup>saww</sup> called Ali<sup>asws</sup> and said: ‘Take your<sup>asws</sup> sword and go, you<sup>asws</sup> and Ammar, and a third person, so go to Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as (who is) beneath such and such a tree. So Ali<sup>asws</sup> went over to him and killed him. So (later on) Usman struck a (step) daughter of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> and said: ‘You informed your father<sup>saww</sup> of his whereabouts. So she sent a message to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> complaining of what she faced. So Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> sent a message to her: ‘Cover your shame. How ugly of the woman with a (good) lineage and Religion during every day complaining of her husband’. So she sent a message to him<sup>saww</sup> many times, during each of that he<sup>saww</sup> was saying that to her. So when it was during the fourth time, he<sup>saww</sup> called Ali<sup>asws</sup> and said: ‘Take your<sup>asws</sup> sword and cover upon it, then go to the house of the daughter of your<sup>asws</sup> cousin, and take her by the hand. So if anyone were to come between you<sup>asws</sup> and her, break him with the sword’. And Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> came over flustered from his<sup>saww</sup> house to the house of Usman. So Ali<sup>asws</sup> brought out the (step) daughter of Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>. So when she looked at him<sup>saww</sup>, she raised her voice with the wailing, and Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> burst into tears and cried. Then he<sup>saww</sup> took her to his<sup>saww</sup> own house, and she uncovered her backside. So when he<sup>saww</sup> saw what had appeared on her (marks of the beating), said three times: ‘What is the matter with him hitting you? May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Kill him’. And that was during the day of Sunday, and Usman spent the night covered with his slave girl. So he remained (like that) for Monday and Tuesday, and she died on the fourth day. So when he came to take her out, Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> instructed Syeda Fatima<sup>asws</sup>. So she<sup>asws</sup> went out, and the womenfolk of the Believers were with her<sup>asws</sup>, and Usman went out escorting her funeral. So when the Prophet<sup>saww</sup> saw him, he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The one who went to his wife last night or with his slave girl, so he should not follow her funeral’. He<sup>saww</sup> said that three (times). But he did not leave. So when it was the fourth time, he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Will you leave or shall I<sup>saww</sup> mention his name?’ So Usman came over leaning upon a slave of his, holding his belly, and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! I complain of my bellyache. So if you<sup>saww</sup> see fit, permit me to leave’. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Leave!’ And Syeda Fatima<sup>asws</sup> came out, and the womenfolk of the Believers, and the Emigrants, so they prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> upon the deceased’.
