Aya 14

  • See first note to verse 91:11.
  • Hamstrung with no reason, save the rebellious nature which made them commit the heinous act. The Holy Prophet of Islam said: “The wicked person among the ancients, is the murderer of the harmless She-camel of Saleh which was endowed to the service of God and the most wicked person of the latter age is the murderer of Ali ibne Abi Taleb as there is no justification for the heinous crimes but the rebellious spirit against a person who has devoted his life from his birth to death to the service of God.” This Tradition has been narrated by Usman son of Suhail from his father and from Ammar ibne Yasir—that the Holy Prophet said this and put his hand on Ali’s forehead and Ali’s beard saying “that the wicked one will make his beard dyed of the blood of his forehead and one can see that the muslin who did not raise any objection to the crime committed against the one who was loved by God and the Holy Prophet, and his devotees were afflicted with the tortures of civil wars until now.” (A.P.)
