| At that moment, Zubayr came out with his sword drawn. (Sunni ref: Tareekhe Tabari, vol 3 page 202) He was saying, "This sword will not be sheathed till the time you all do not swear allegiance to Hazrat Ali (a.s.)." (Sunni ref: Tareekhe Tabari, vol 3 page 202; Kamil Ibne Aseer, volume 2, page 325). He tried to attack Umar with his sword, but at that moment, Khalid ibne Waleed threw a stone that hit Zubayr on the neck and the sword dropped from his hands. (Al Ikhtesas, page 186) In another narration, it is reported — As was expected, when Umar was confronted with Zubayr, he ran away from there. Zubayr chased him, but after colliding with a stone he fell on his back. (Masalebun Nawaseb, pages 136/137; Rasaelul Eteqadiyah volume 1, page 447-448) Another narration describes the happenings as such — Zubayr lost his footing and fell on the ground. Abu Bakr said, "Grab this dog!" (Amali Shaykh Mufeed, page 49/50) At another place, we read that Umar said, "Beware of this dog!" (Masalebun Nawaseb, pages 136/137; Rasaelul Eteqadiyah volume 1, page 447) The crowd fell on Zubayr. (Sunni ref: Tareekhe Tabari, vol 3 page 202) Forty people surrounded him. (Behaar ul Anwaar, volume 30, page 291) Ziyad ibne Lubayd Ansari and another person strangled him. (Maybe it is meant Abdullah ibn Rabiyah, Tasbeetul Imamah, page 17). His sword fell from his hands. (Shar'he Nahjul Balagah, volume 2, page 56). Umar said, "Grab his sword and hit it on the stone (to break it)." (Sunni ref: Tareekhe Tabari, vol 3 page 202; Al Kamil, volume 2, page 325) However in another report we read that Abu Bakr, while sitting on the pulpit ordered the sword to be smashed against a stone. (Shar'he Nahjul Balagah, volume 6, page 48). Salmah ibne Aslam grabbed Zubayr's sword and, hitting it on a stone or a wall, broke it. (Al Mustarshid, page 378). As per another narration that Mohammed Ibne Salmah broke the sword. (Shar'he Nahjul Balagah, volume 1, page 48). The third narration informs that Umar himself grabbed the sword, hit it on a stone and broke it. (Shar'he Nahjul Balagah, volume 2, page 48). Those who were within the house came out with the exception of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and did bay'at of Abu Bakr.( At the second attack, all those present in the house of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) came out with the exception of Ahlul Bayt (a.s.) and till then they had not done bay'at. Al Kaafi, volume 8, page 245, Rejaale Kaashi, volume 1 page 26; Tafseer e Ayyashi volume 1 page 199, Behaarul Anwaar, volume 22 page 333/351). Hazrat Ali (a.s.) remained inside on account of his promise not to leave his house till the time he had completed the compilation of the Holy Quran. Janabe Zahra (s.a.) came to the door of the house and said, "I have not witnessed a more harsh and ugly nation than yourselves! You all left the burial of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and began dividing the nation. Neither did you accept our leadership, nor did you return what was rightfully ours, nor did you consult with us. Do we have no position, no rights in your eyes?!!" (Al Imamah was Siyasah, volume 1 page 19) Another tradition reports that she (s.a.) said, "Neither do you submit to our leadership, nor do you enumerate our rights. It is as if you are oblivious of what occurred on the Day of Ghadeer. I swear by Allah, on that day, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) took a covenant and a promise for his wilayat (mastership) and Imamat (leadership) so that by this action, your dreams for leadership would be destroyed. But you have broken all the relationships between yourself and your Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Allah is the best judge between us, both in this world and in the hereafter." (Al Ihtejaj, page 80; Behaarul Anwaar volume 28, page 204). |
