74. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah who said: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah (a.s.) that, ‘Allah Bestowed (Favour) upon us that we recognised His Oneness, then Bestowed (Favour) upon us that we accepted the Prophet-hood of Muhammad (saww), then Specialised us with your (a.s.) love, the People (a.s.) of the Household that we befriended you, and keep away from your (a.s.) enemies, and we intend by that to save ourselves from the Fire’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I sympathised with him and cried’. So Abu Abdullah (a.s.) said: ‘Ask me (a.s.), for by Allah , you will not ask me (a.s.) about a thing except that I (a.s.) will inform you of it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abdul Malik Bin Ayn, ‘I have not heard him (a.s.) say that to any creature before you’. I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. He (a.s.) said: ‘They were unjust to us (a.s.) of our (a.s.) rights in the Book of Allah , and with us (a.s.) Fatima (a.s.), the inheritance from her (a.s.) father (saww), and the injustices of these two still flow up to this day’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he gestured to his (a.s.) back’, (and said): ‘They threw the Book of Allah behind their two backs’.
