Hazrat Ali (a.s.) came out in such a condition – his eyes were reddened and his head uncovered. He placed his cloak over Janabe Zahra (s.a.). He embraced her and called out to Fizzah, "O Fizzah, come and support your princess. See how she has been suffering at the door." Janabe Mohsin was martyred at that spot. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) said, "He will meet his grandfather – the Holy Prophet (a.s.) and describe this tragic event to him. O Fizzah! Please take Fatemah inside the house."[1] He then turned towards Umar and grasping his back, shook him hard and threw him on the ground such his nose and neck were severely injured. He wished to kill Umar, but was reminded of the will of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had recommended him to bear difficulties after him (s.a.w.a.) with patience and fortitude. He said to Umar, "O son of Sahhak. I swear by that Lord who favored Mohammed (s.a.w.a.) with prophethood. If I would not have been bound by the promise made to the Quran and the Prophet (s.a.w.a.), you would not have been able to enter my house." Umar began pleading with Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and begged him to release him. He called out to the people for help. The people entered the house of Hazrat Ali (a.s.). He (a.s.) raised his sword. Qunfuz ran towards Abu Bakr to inform him of this turn of events. Abu Bakr was fearful that Ali (a.s.) would step out of his house brandishing his sword. Surely he was well aware of the courage, the lion-heartedness and bravery of Ali (a.s.). He ordered Qunfuz that if he does not step out of his house, then you arrange to destroy it. If he still does not relent, then you set fire to the house. Qunfuz returned to the house of Hazrat Ali (a.s.), and along with some of his rogue companions entered the house without permission. Hazrat Ali (a.s.) raised his sword, but the large crowd of people prevented him from using it. At that moment the people were fighting amongst themselves.[2] Umar said to Hazrat Ali (a.s.), "Stand up and swear allegiance to Abu Bakr." Hazrat Ali (a.s.) sat down on the ground and did not move from there. Umar grabbed the hand of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and ordered him to stand up. Ali (a.s.) refused.[3] At that moment some people wound a rope around his neck.[4] As per a narration, the people bound the sheath of his sword to his neck.[5] There are innumerable reports which state that the people dragged Ali (a.s.) out of his house in this condition.[6] The pulled him with his clothes and dragged him into the mosque.
