A man from the people of Paradise whose testimony is not to be accepted said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: 'Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are the masters of the youth of the people of Paradise.'" The Jew said, "The Commander of the Faithful has advanced me to his judge, and his judge ruled against him. I bear witness that this is the truth. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and that the armor is your armor. You were riding your grayish camel while on your way to Siffin, and it fell from you one night, so I took it." He then went out to fight with Ali al-Shirā' at Nahrawan and was killed.
