bayhaqi:18350Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Ḥāfiẓ > Abū al-ʿAbbās Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb > Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Jabbār > Yūnus b. Bukayr > Ibn Isḥāq > Kharaj / Yawm al-Khandaq ʿAmr b. ʿAbd

[Machine] It was Amr. He sat down and called out "Oh Amr, isn't there a man?" He criticized them and said, "Where is your paradise that you claim whoever is killed among you will enter it? Doesn't a man come forward?" So Ali stood up and said, "I am, O Messenger of Allah." So the Prophet ﷺ said, "Sit down." Then he called out for the third time and mentioned a poem, so Ali stood up again and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I am." He said, "Indeed, it is Amr." He said, "Even if it is Amr, the Messenger of Allah has given him permission." So he walked towards him until he reached him and mentioned a poem. So Amr said to him, "Who are you?" He said, "I am Ali." He said, "Son of Abd Manaf?" He said, "No, I am Ali, son of Abu Talib." He said, "Someone other than you, O son of my brother, who is more noble and honored than you, for I dislike shedding your blood." Ali said, "But, by Allah, I do not dislike shedding your blood." So he became angry, descended from his horse, and unsheathed his sword as if it were a flaming torch. Then he approached Ali angrily, and Ali faced him with his shield. Amr struck him on the shield, causing it to break and the sword to get stuck in it. He hit Ali on the head, causing it to bleed, and Ali struck him on the neck, causing him to fall down. The people rushed in and chaos ensued, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard the takbeer and realized that Ali had killed him.
