4457 - Ishaq said: I am Isma'il ibn Ibrahim, from Ibn 'Uuwan,
from 'Umayr ibn Ishaq, who said: Marwan was an emir over us for several years, and he used to curse Ali every Friday from the pulpit. Then Marwan was removed, and Sa'id ibn al-As was appointed for several years, and he did not curse him. Then Sa'id was dismissed, and Marwan was reinstated, and he would curse him again. It was said to al-Hasan ibn Ali: "Do you not hear what Marwan is saying? Are you not going to respond?" He would come to the mosque on Fridays, enter the Prophet's (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) chamber, and stay there. When the sermon was over, he would come out to the mosque, pray there, and then return to his family. Marwan was not satisfied with this until he hosted him at his home. While we were sitting with him, someone said: "So-and-so is at the door." Marwan said: "Let him in," and he entered. He said: "I have come to you from the Sultan and with a message." Marwan replied: "Speak." He said: "Marwan sent for Ali, and for Ali, and for you, and for you, and I found nothing like you except a she- donkey, who, when asked, 'Who is your father?' replies, 'My mother is the mare.'" Marwan said: "Return to him and tell him: By Allah, I will not erase anything from what you said, that I am cursing you, but my appointment and yours is with Allah. If you are truthful, Allah will reward you for your truthfulness, and if you are lying, Allah is more severe in vengeance. Allah, the Exalted, has honored my grandfather by not allowing him to be like a she-donkey." Then he left and met al-Husayn in the chamber. Al-Husayn asked him what had happened, and he said: "I have delivered a message and have conveyed it." Al-Husayn replied: "By Allah, you will tell me what it is, or I will command that you be struck until you do not know when the beating will end." When al-Hasan saw him, he said: "Let him go." Al-Husayn said: "I cannot." Al-Hasan asked: "Why not?" He replied: "I have sworn." Al-Hasan said: "Marwan sent for Ali, and for Ali, and for you, and for you, and I found nothing like you except a she-donkey, who, when asked, 'Who is your father?' replies, 'My mother is the mare.'" Al-Husayn responded: "May your mother have eaten your nipple if you do not convey to him what I say! Tell him: You, your father, your people, and the sign between me and you is that you hold your shoulders from the curse of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)."
