11ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) يَا رَسُولَ الله عَلِّمْنِي قَالَ اذْهَبْ وَلا تَغْضَبْ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ قَدْ اكْتَفَيْتُ بِذَاكَ فَمَضَى إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَإِذَا بَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ حَرْبٌ قَدْ قَامُوا صُفُوفاً وَلَبِسُوا السِّلاحَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ لَبِسَ سِلاحَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ مَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) لا تَغْضَبْ فَرَمَى السِّلاحَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَدُوُّ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا هَؤُلاءِ مَا كَانَتْ لَكُمْ مِنْ جِرَاحَةٍ أَوْ قَتْلٍ أَوْ ضَرْبٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَثَرٌ فَعَلَيَّ فِي مَالِي أَنَا أُوفِيكُمُوهُ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ فَمَا كَانَ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ قَالَ فَاصْطَلَحَ الْقَوْمُ وَذَهَبَ الْغَضَبُ.

Published English translation

11. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Muhammad from Salih ibn abu Hammad all from al-Washsha’ from Ahmad ibn ‘A’id from abu Khadijah from Mu’alla ibn Khanis from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Once a man said to the Holy Prophet, ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach me.’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘You may go and do not become angry.’ The man said, ‘I have taken it as a sufficient lesson.’ He went to his family and found his people fighting, all of them lined up in arms. When he saw it he also armed himself and stood up in line with them and then he remembered the words of the Messenger of Allah, ‘Do not become angry’. He threw away his arms and moved forward to the enemies of his people and said, ‘O people, I will take responsibility for any loss of life, serious or slight injury that you may have suffered, I will pay you.’ The people said, ‘Whatever happened we give permission to go in your favor. It is more proper for us to make such undertakings.’ The Imam then said, ‘The people made peace and anger was gone.’”
