Ibn Sa'd dedi: Ali Usmon o'ldirilgan kundan keyingi tongda Madinada xalifa sifatida bay'at qilindi. Hozir bo'lgan barcha sahobalar, Allohning ulardan rozi bo'lsin, bay'at qilishdi.

Ibn Sacd said: cAli was pledged allegiance as khalifah the morning after the killing of cUthman in Madinah. All of the Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, who were there pledged allegiance.

Rivoyat qilinadiki, Talha va az-Zubayr norozilik bilan va istamay bay'at berishgan. Keyin ular Makkaga borishdi, u yerda Oisha roziyallohu anha bor edi. Ular uni olib, Usmon qonining qasosini olish maqsadida Basraga yo'l olishdi. Bu xabar Aliga yetib bordi va u Iroqqa bordi. Basrada Talha, az-Zubayr, Oisha va ular bilan birga bo'lganlar bilan uchrashdi. Bu voqea "Tuya jangi" nomi bilan mashhur bo'lib, hijriy 36-yil Jumodul oxirida sodir bo'lgan. U yerda Talha, az-Zubayr va boshqalar halok bo'lishdi, halok bo'lganlar soni o'n uch ming kishiga yetdi. Ali Basrada o'n besh kecha qoldi, so'ngra Kufaga ketdi.

It is said that Talhah and az-Zubayr pledged allegiance with displeasure and unwillingly. Then they went to Makkah, and cA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, was there. They took her and went with her to Basra seeking retaliation for the blood of cUthman. That reached cAli so he went to Iraq and at Basra met Talhah, az-Zubayr, CA’ ishah and whoever was with them, which is known as the Battle of the Camel, and which occurred in Jumada al-Akhirah of the year 36 AH. Talhah, az-Zubayr and others were killed there, the dead reaching thirteen thousand. cAli spent fifteen nights at Basra and then he went to Kufa.

Shundan so'ng Muoviya ibn Abu Sufyon va u bilan birga bo'lgan Shomdagi kishilar unga qarshi chiqdilar. Bu xabar Aliga yetib bordi va u ular bilan uchrashish uchun yo'lga chiqdi. Ular hijriy 37-yilning safar oyida Siffinda uchrashdilar. U yerda jang bir necha kun davom etdi, to Shom aholisi mushaflarni ko'tarib, ularda bor narsaga da'vat qilguncha. Bu Amr ibn al-Os hiylasi edi. Odamlar urushdan bezib, bir-birlarini sulh tuzishga chaqirdilar va ikki hakam tayinladilar. Ali Abu Muso al-Ash'ariyni, Muoviya esa Amr ibn al-Osni tayinladi. Ular o'rtasida hujjat imzolandi: yil boshida al-Adhruhda uchrashib, ummatning ishini jiddiy ko'rib chiqishlari kerak edi. Odamlar tarqaldilar: Muoviya Shomga, Ali esa Kufaga qaytdi.

Then Mucawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan and those with him in Syria came out against him. That reached cAli and he went out to meet him. They met at Siffin in Safr of the year 37 AH. The fighting continued there for some days, until the people of Syria raised the mushafs calling to that which is in them, which was a trick of cAmr ibn al-cAs. People hated the war and they called each other to negotiate and appointed two arbiters. cAli appointed Abu Musa al-Ashcari and Mucawiyah appointed cAmr ibn al-cAs. They signed a decree between them that they should meet at the beginning of the year at al-Adhruh where they would consider seriously the command of the ummah. People separated, Mucawiyah returning to Syria and cAli to Kufa.

Keyin uning sahobalaridan va u bilan birga bo'lganlardan bir guruh — Xavorijlar (ajralib chiquvchilar, so'zma-so'z: «chiqib ketuvchilar») uning ustiga chiqdilar. Ular: «Hukm faqat Allohnikidir», dedilar va Harurada harbiy lager qurdilar. U Ibn Abbosni ularning oldiga yubordi; u ular bilan bahslashdi va ularni ishontirdi, shu sababli ularning ko'pchiligi qaytdi. Ulardan bir guruh esa qat'iy turib oldi, an-Nahrovonga bordi va yo'lni to'sib qo'ydi. Ali ularning oldiga o'sha yerning o'zida bordi va ularni an-Nahrovonda o'ldirdi, shu jumladan Zu-s-Sudayyani ham o'ldirdi.12

Then (a group known as) the Khawarij (the seceders - literally ‘those who go out’) from among his companions and those with him, went out against him. They said, ‘There is no judgement but (that) of Allah’, and they set up a military camp at Harura’. He sent Ibn cAbbas to them, who argued with them and convinced them, so that many of them returned. A group of them stayed firm, went to an-Nahrawan and obstructed the roadway. cAli went to them there and killed them at an-Nahrawan, killing Dhu’th-Thudayyah.12

12 Aslida, "kichik ko'krakning egasi" degani; Payg'ambar ﷺ uni xavorijlar orasida bo'lishi haqida oldindan xabar bergan edilar — Alloh unga rahmat qilsin va salom bersin.

12 Literally, ‘the possessor of the little breast’, a man who had been foretold to be among the Khawarij by the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Bu 38-hijriy yilda bo'lgan.

That was in the year 38 AH.

Shu yil Sha'bon oyida odamlar al-Adhruhda to'planishdi, ularning orasida Sa'd ibn Abu Vaqqos, Ibn Umar va boshqa sahobalar ham bor edi. Amr esa o'zi o'ylab topgan hiylaga ko'ra Abu Muso al-Ash'ariyga birinchi bo'lib so'zlashga ruxsat berdi.

People gathered in al-Adhruh in Shacban of this year, among them Sacd ibn Abi Waqqas, Ibn cUmar and other Companions. cAmr allowed Abu Musa al-Ashcari to go first, as a trick he had devised.

U (Abu Muso) so'zga chiqdi va Aliyni lavozimidan chetlatdi. So'ngra Amr so'zga chiqib, Muoviyani lavozimida tasdiqladi va unga bay'at berdi. Bu sababli odamlar bo'linib ketdi. Ali o'z yaqinlari bilan shu darajada kelishmovchilikka tushdiki, barmoqlarini tishlay boshladi va: «Menga itoat qilinmaydi-yu, Muoviyaga itoat qilinadimi?» dedi. Xavorijlardan uch kishi tezda harakatga o'tdi: Abdurahmon ibn Muljam al-Muroodiy, al-Burak ibn Abdulloh at-Tamimiy va Amr ibn Bukayr at-Tamimiy. Ular Makkada yig'ilib, o'zaro ahd qilishdi: ular uchovi Ali ibn Abu Tolibni, Muoviya ibn Abu Sufyonni va Amr ibn al-Osni o'ldirishadi hamda (Allahning) bandalarini ulardan xalos qilishadi. Ibn Mulјam dedi: «Men Aliyni sizlar uchun olaman.» al-Burak dedi: «Men Muovi-yani sizlar uchun olaman.» Amr ibn Bukayr dedi: «Amr ibn al-Os uchun men o'zim yetarli bo'laman.» Ular o'sha kecha — Ramazonning o'n birinchi yoki o'n yettinchi kunida — shu ahdga kelishdilar, so'ngra har biri o'z nishoni turgan yurtga yo'l oldi. Ibn Mulјam Kufaga bordi, xavorij yo'ldoshlari bilan uchrashib, ular niyat qilgan ishni ularga yashirincha aytdi.

He (Abu Musa) spoke and removed cAli from office. Then cAmr spoke and confirmed Mucawiyah in office and pledged allegiance to him. People split up over this. cAli disagreed with his companions to such an extent that he began to bite his fingers saying, ‘I am disobeyed and Mucawiyah is obeyed?’ Three men of the Khawarij hastened to act: cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Muljam al-Muradi, al-Burk ibn cAbdullah at-Tamimi and ‘Amr ibn Bukayr at-Tamimi. They gathered in Makkah and made a covenant with each other that they three would kill: cAli ibn Abi Talib, Mucawiyah ibn Abi Sufyan and cAmr ibn al-cAs, and that they would give the slaves (of Allah) rest from them. Ibn Muljam said, ‘I will take cAli for you.’ Al-Burk said, ‘I will take Mucawiyah for you.’ cAmr ibn Bukayr said, ‘I will suffice you for cAmr ibn al-cAs.’ They made a covenant on that one night, either the eleventh or the seventeenth of Ramadan, and then each of them directed himself to the land in which his intended victim was. Ibn Muljam went to Kufa, met his companions of the Khawarij and told them secretly of what they intended to do.

40-hijriy yilning 17-Ramazon kunidagi juma kechasi Alī tong oldidan uyg‘ondi. U o‘g‘li al-Hasanga dedi: “Bu kecha men Allohning Elchisini ﷺ tushimda ko‘rdim va dedim: “Ey Allohning Elchisi, sizning ummatingizdan qanday azob va bahs-munozaralarga duch keldim?” U menga dedi: “Ular ustidan Allohga duo qil.” Men dedim: “Ey Alloh, menga ular o‘rniga, mendan ko‘ra yaxshiroq bo‘lganini ber va ularga, mendan ko‘ra yomonroq bo‘lganini ber.” Shundan so‘ng muazzin Ibn adh-Dhabbah Alīning oldiga kirib dedi: “Namoz.” Alī eshikdan chiqarkan, baland ovozda: “Odamlar, namoz, namoz!” deb chaqirdi. Ibn Muljam uning oldida turdi va qilich bilan urdi; zarba peshonasining tepasiga tegib, miyagacha yetdi. Odamlar uning atrofidan tomon yugurishdi va u ushlanib, bog‘landi. Alī juma va shanba kunigacha yotdi va yakshanba oldidan kechasi vafot etdi. al-Hasan, al-Husayn va Abdulloh ibn Ja‘far uning jasadini yuvdilar, al-Hasan uning ustidan janoza namozini o‘qidi, so‘ng uni kechasi Kufadagi amirlik saroyida dafn etdilar. Keyinchalik Ibn Muljamning oyoq-qo‘llarini kesdilar, uni qamish savatga solib, o‘tda yoqib yubordilar.

On the night preceding the Jumucah of the seventeenth of Ramadan of the year 40 AH, cAli woke up before dawn. He said to his son al-Hasan, ‘This night I saw the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, and I said, “Messenger of Allah, what distress and argumentation I have received from your ummah\” He said to me, “Supplicate Allah against them.” I said, “O Allah, give me in exchange for them what is better for me than they are, and give them in exchange for me what is worse for them than I am.’” Then the mu’adhdhin Ibn adh-Dhabbah came in to cAli and said, ‘The prayer.’ cAli went out the door crying out, ‘People, the prayer, the prayer!’ Ibn Muljam stood before him, struck him with the sword, and it hit the top of his forehead reaching the brain. People rushed upon him from every side, and he was held and bound. cAli lingered for the Jumufah and Saturday, and died the night before Sunday. Al-Hasan, al-Hussein and “Abdullah ibn Jacfar washed his body, al-Hasan led the prayer over him, then he was buried in the house of the Amirate in Kufa at night. Later they cut off the limbs of Ibn Muljam, he was put in a reed basket, and they burnt him in a fire.

Yuqorida keltirilgan barcha gaplar Ibn Sa'dning so'zlaridir. U bu voqealar va janglarni juda yaxshi xulosalagan va boshqalar kabi ularni keng yoymagan. Bu holat ushbu vaziyatga yanada munosibroqdir. U aytdi: "Mening sahobalarim tilga olinganda, o'zingizni tiyinglar", va u aytdi: "Mening sahobalarim uchun ularning o'ldirilgani (haqida gapirish) kifoya qiladi." al-Mustadrakda as-Suddiy shunday degani bor: Abdurrahmon ibn Muljam Qatam ismli Xorijiy ayolga qattiq oshiq bo'lib qoldi, uni nikohiga oldi va unga mahr sifatida uch ming dirham hamda Aliyning o'ldirilishini berdi. Al-Farazdaq bu haqda shunday degan:

All of the above are the words of Ibn Sacd. He summarised all of these events and battles excellently well, and he didn’t expand on them greatly as others did. This is more befitting to this occasion. He said, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ‘When my companions are mentioned, restrain yourselves (from speaking)’, and he said, ‘It is sufficient for my Companions (to mention) their killing.’ There is in al-Mustadrak that as-Suddi said: cAbd ar-Rahman ibn Muljam fell passionately in love with a woman of the Khawarij called Qatam, and he married her and gave her as a dowry three thousand dirhams and the killing of cAli. Al-Farazdaq said about that:

“Men hech qachon Qatom mahri singari, odamlar (qullar) va chorva mollari bilan berilgan mahrni, saxiy kishi tomonidan yuborilgan holda ko‘rmaganman:”

‘I have not seen a dowry sent by a liberally generous one, Like the dowry of Qatam, of human beings (slaves) and beasts:

Uch ming, bir qul, bir cho'ri va Alining kesib o'tuvchi qilich bilan zarb berishi.

Three thousand, a slave, a maidservant And the striking of cAli with the penetrating sword.

Hech qanday mahr Aliydan qimmatroq emas, garchi u juda qimmat bo‘lsa ham, va Ibn Muljamning qotilligidan ortiq qotillik ham yo‘q, u undan kamroq bo‘lsa ham. Abu Bakr ibn Ayyosh aytdi: Aliyning qabri yashirildi, shunda Xorijiylar uning jasadini qazib olmasin. Sharik esa aytdi: Uning o‘g‘li al-Hasan uni Madinaga olib bordi. Al-Mubarrad Muhammad ibn Habibdan rivoyat qildi: Qabrdan boshqa qabrga ko‘chirilgan birinchi kishi Ali bo‘ldi, Alloh undan rozi bo‘lsin.

There is no dowry dearer than cAli even if it were very expensive, And no assassination but that it is less than the assassination by Ibn Muljam.’ Abu Bakr ibn cAyyash said: The grave of cAli was concealed so that the Khawarij would not dig up his body; and Sharik said: His son al-Hasan carried him to Madinah. Al-Mubarrad said from Muhammad ibn Habib: The first to be transferred from one grave to another was cAli, may Allah be pleased with him.

Ibn Asokir rivoyat qilishicha, Sa'id ibn Abdulaziz aytgan: Ali ibn Abu Solib, Alloh ундан rozi bo'lsin, o'ldirilganda, uni Payg'ambar ﷺ yoniga dafn qilish uchun olib ketishdi. Ular uni kechasi olib borayotganda, u minib olgan tuya bir yoqqa qochib ketdi. Uning qayerga ketganini hech kim bilmadi va uni quvib yetib bo'lmadi. Shu sababli Iroq xalqi: "U bulutlar ichida", deydi. Boshqalar esa: "Tuya Toy qabilasi yurtiga yetib bordi, u yerda uni olib, dafn qilishdi", deydi. Ali o'ldirilganda oltmish uch yoshda edi. Oltmish to'rt, oltmish besh, ellik yetti va ellik sakkiz yoshda bo'lgan, deyilgan ham. Uning o'ninchi to'qqiz nafar cho'risi bo'lgan.

Ibn cAsakir narrated that Sacid ibn cAbd al-cAziz said: When cAli ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, was killed, they carried him to bury him with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. While they were journeying with him at night, the camel on which he was bolted. No-one knew where it had gone, and they couldn’t overtake it. For that reason the people of Iraq say, ‘He is in the clouds.’ Others say, ‘The camel arrived in the lands of Tayy, where they took him and buried him.’ When cAli was killed he was sixty-three years old. It has been said that he was sixty-four, sixty-five, fifty-seven and fifty-eight. He had nineteen women slaves.
