4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub who in a marfu’ has said the following: “On the day of Jamal Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, delivered a speech. He praised and glorified Allah; then said, ‘O people, I came to these people, called them and presented proof in support of my truthfulness. They then called me for a contest. Their mothers will certainly weep for them; I never was and will not feel threatened by war or intimidated by the pounding of swords. No one is able to defeat experience. They should act thunderously with lightening to frighten people other than me. I am abu al-Hassan. I am the one who turned their sharp edge very blunt and dispersed their large united group. With this kind of heart I am ready to face my enemy. I have firm belief in the promise of my Lord of victory, His support and triumph. I have firm belief in my Lord. I have not even a shred of doubt about the truthfulness of my cause. O people, death does not miss people living at home and those who run away cannot defeat it. There is no escape from death. If one does not die he is killed and the best death is being killed. I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, enduring a thousand poundings of the sword is easier for me than dying in bed. It is very strange of Talhah who was very close to the son of ‘Affan, until the time he was killed soon thereafter he extended his right hand to me to pledge allegiance voluntarily; then he disregarded his pledging allegiance with me. O Allah, clinch him without respite. Zubayr also disregarded his pledge of allegiance with me as well as the good relationship that was his obligation to maintain with me as relatives. He supported my enemies, therefore, O Lord, suffice me against him as You deem proper.’”
IsnādAli ibn Ibrahim, de son père, de Ibn Mahboub, a rapporté qu'Amir al-Mu'minin (que la paix soit sur lui) a prononcé un discours le jour de Jamal, louant et glorifiant Allah, puis il a dit: "Ô gens, je suis venu à ces gens, je les ai invités, j'ai argumenté avec eux. Laissez-moi donc affronter les coups et les blessures pour eux. Que le pus soit sur leur mère! J'ai été menacé ni par la guerre ni effrayé par les coups. Je rétablirai la justice pour celui qui la recherche, pour un autre, qu'ils s'écartent et qu'ils tonnent. Je suis Abu al-Hasan, celui qui a repoussé leurs limites, dispersé leur assemblée. Avec ce cœur, je rencontre mon ennemi, en comptant sur ce que mon Seigneur m'a promis de victoire, de soutien et de triomphe. Et je suis certain de mon Seigneur, sans aucune ambiguïté dans mes affaires. Ô gens, la mort n'épargne ni celui qui reste ni n'est empêchée par celui qui fuit. Il n'y a pas d'échappatoire à la mort. Celui qui ne meurt pas sera tué. Et la meilleure mort est le meurtre. Par Celui qui détient mon âme, mille coups d'épée me sont plus faciles que la mort sur un lit. Et quelle étrange chose que Talha ait incité les gens contre Ibn Affan, jusqu'à ce qu'il soit tué, et m'a donné sa poignée de main de sa main droite docilement, puis a rompu mon pacte. Ô Allah, prends-le sans lui accorder de délai. Certes, Zubayr a rompu mon pacte, a coupé les liens de parenté et a manifesté son hostilité envers moi. Aujourd'hui, ôte-le de ma vue comme Tu le souhaites."
