١١١. وَقَالَ (عليه ‏السلام) وَقَدْ تُوُفِّيَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بِالْكُوفَةِ بَعْدَ مَرْجِعِهِ مَعَهُ مِنْ صِفِّينَ، وَكَانَ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَيْهِ: لَوْ أَحَبَّنِي جَبَلٌ لَتَهَافَتَ.


Translation

111. Sahl ibn Ḥunayf al-Anṣārī died at Kūfah after his return from the battle of Ṣiffīn and he was very much loved by Amīr al-mu’minīn, peace be upon him. On this occasion Amīr al-mu’minīn said: Even if a mountain had loved me, it would have crumbled down.
