(Usama's Maula) Usama (bin Zaid) sent me to `Ali (at Kufa) and said, "`Ali will ask you, 'What has
prevented your companion from joining me?' You then should say to him, 'If you (`Ali) were in the
mouth of a lion, I would like to be with you, but in this matter I won't take any part.' " Harmala added:
"`Ali didn't give me anything (when I conveyed the message to him) so I went to Hasan, Hussain and
Ibn Ja`far and they loaded my camels with much (wealth).

When Al-Hasan bin `Ali moved with army units against Muawiya, `Amr bin AL-As said to Muawiya,
"I see an army that will not retreat unless and until the opposing army retreats." Muawiya said, "(If the
Muslims are killed) who will look after their children?" `Amr bin Al-As said: I (will look after them).
On that, `Abdullah bin 'Amir and `Abdur-Rahman bin Samura said, "Let us meet Muawaiya and
suggest peace." Al-Hasan Al-Basri added: No doubt, I heard that Abu Bakra said, "Once while the
Prophet was addressing (the people), Al-Hasan (bin `Ali) came and the Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'This son of mine
is a chief, and Allah may make peace between two groups of Muslims through him."

When the people of Medina dethroned Yazid bin Muawiya, Ibn `Umar gathered his special friends
and children and said, "I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'A flag will be fixed for every betrayer on the Day
of Resurrection,' and we have given the oath of allegiance to this person (Yazid) in accordance with
the conditions enjoined by Allah and His Apostle and I do not know of anything more faithless than
fighting a person who has been given the oath of allegiance in accordance with the conditions
enjoined by Allah and His Apostle , and if ever I learn that any person among you has agreed to
dethrone Yazid, by giving the oath of allegiance (to somebody else) then there will be separation
between him and me."
