8. He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad ibn Umar al-Ji’abi reported from Abul Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Saeed, who reported from Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Mustawrad, who reported from Muhammad ibn Munir, who reported from Ishaq ibn Wazir, who reported from Muhammad ibn al-Fudhail ibn Ata, the client of Mazeenah, who reported from Ja’far ibn Muhammad , from his father, who reported that Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, Ibn Hanafiyya said: "The standard of the army on the day of the battle of Jamal was with me, and the worst casualties were suffered by Bani Zabbah. When the people retreated, Amirul Mu’mineen , accompanied by Ammar ibn Yasir and Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr, may Allah bless them with His Pleasure - came to the howdah (of Aisha) which looked like the spike of a porcupine because of the arrows which had pierced it, and he hit it with his stick and said: ’O, Humayra, you wanted to kill me the way you killed the son of Affan (i.e. Uthman). Is this what Allah has commanded you? Or is this the pledge which the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, took from you?’ She said: ’You have conquered, so be forgiving.’ Then he (i.e. ‘Ali {AS}) said to Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr: ’Find out if she has been hit with any weapon.’ He found her safe, except for an arrow, which had pierced her attire, and grazed her a little. So Ibn Abi Bakr said: ’O Amirul Mu’mineen, She is safe, except for an arrow, which has struck her clothes and bruised her a bit.’ So ‘Ali said: ’Convey her to the house of the two sons of Khalaf al-Khuzai.’ And then he ordered an announcer to announce: The wounded should not be killed, and those running away should not be pursued. And whoever shuts his door, he will be in peace."
