The Peak of Eloquence · Hadith 518 (#Passage #6)
Chapter 116 | Troubles which would arise, Day of Judgment
قال السيّد الشريف : الْوَذَحَةُ : الخُنْفُسَاءُ. وهذا القول يومىءُ به إلى الحجاج، وله مع الوذحة حديث ليس هذا موضع ذكره.
as-Sayyid ar-Raḍī says: “al-Wadhāḥah” means “al-khunfusā' (dung-beetle).” In this sentence Amir al-mu'minin has referred to al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf ath-Thaqafī and he had an incident with “al-khunfusā'”, which need not be related here. [1]
