22. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from abu al- Qasim al-Kufi from Muhammad ibn Isma’Il from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar and al-‘Ala’ ibn Sayabah and Zarif ibn Nasih who has said the following: “When abu Dawaniq (Mansur, one of ‘Abbasi rulers) summoned Abu ‘Abdillah he raised his hand to the sky and said, ‘O Lord, You protected the two boys (mentioned in the Holy Quran in the story of Moses and Khidr) for the goodness and virtue of their father, protect me for the goodness and virtue of my ancestors, Muhammad, Ali, al-Hassan, al-Husayn, Ali ibn al-Husayn, and Muhammad ibn Ali, recipients of divine supreme covenant. O Lord, with Your help I pray that he be repelled against his throat, I seek protection in You against his evil.’ Then he told the camel man to leave for the journey. When Rabi’ met him at the door of abu Dawaniq, he said, ‘O Abu ‘Abdillah his inside is intensely full against you. I have heard him saying, “By Allah I will not leave any of their palm trees without being uprooted, properties without being looted and descendents without being arrested as captives.” The narrator has said that the Imam then said something quietly moving his lips. When he entered in the office of abu Dawaniq he offered the greeting of peace and sat down. Abu Dawaniq responded to his greeting and said, ‘By Allah 1 have intended not to leave any of your palm trees without being uprooted, and any property without being seized.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah then said, ‘O Amir al-Mu’Minin, Allah placed Ayyub under the trial and he exercised patience, Dawud was given to him and he thanked. It was determined for Joseph who was forgiven. You are from that lineage and that lineage’s behaviors are similar.’ Abu Dawaniq said, ‘You have spoken the truth. I forgive you.’ The Imam said, ‘O Amir al- Mu’Minin, whoever so far has spilled the blood of anyone from our family Allah has taken away the power from him.’ Abu Dawaniq became angry and excited. The Imam said, ‘Hold on O Amir al- Mu’Minin, this power once was with family of abu Sufyan. When they murdered al-Husayn Allah took away the power from them and the family of Marwan inherited it. When Hisham murdered Zayd, Allah took it away from him and Marwan ibn Muhammad inherited it. When Marwan murdered Ibrahim, Allah took away the power from him and gave it to you.’ Abu Dawaniq then said, ‘You have spoken the truth. Tell me what do you need?’ The Imam said, ‘I need permission to leave.’ Abu Dawaniq said, ‘It is in your own hands whenever you like.’ The Imam then left and Rabi’ said, ‘He has ordered ten thousand dirham for you.’ The Imam said, ‘I do not need it.’ He said, ‘You are making him (Abu Dawaniq) angiy, take it and then give it to charity.’”
