Jurisprudents in the time of Imam Ali

Moghayere Bin Moghsem:

He is one of narrators of Moslem and other Sehah Sete.

ع مغيرة بن مقسم الفقيه الحافظ أبو هشام الضبي مولاهم الكوفي الأعمى ولد أعمى وكان عجبا في الذكاء... قال شعبة كان أحفظ من حماد بن أبي سليمان وروى جرير عن مغيرة قال ما وقع في مسامعي شيء فنسيته وضعف أحمد روايته عن إبراهيم فقط وقال ذكي حافظ صاحب سنة وقال أحمد العجلي ثقة يرسل عن إبراهيم فإذا وقف ممن سمعه يخبرهم وكان من فقهاء أصحاب إبراهيم وكان عثمانيا ويحمل على علي بعض الحمل.
Moghayere Bin Moghsem was jurisprudent and Hafez. He was born blindly, but his wisdom was wonderful. Shoabe has said '' he was better than Hemad Bin Abi Soleiman in memorizing. Jarir has narrated from Moghayere '' I have not forgotten what I heard''. Ahmad Bin Hanbel has weakened only the narration of Ibrahim and has said '' Ibrahim was clever, Hafez and aware of the tradition. Ahmad Ajali has said '' he is reliable'', but he has narrated from Ibrahim as morsel. When he remembered that he heard narrations from someone, he informed of it. He was one of jurisprudents of the companions of Ibrahim. He was one of fans of Usman and Imam Ali (peace be upon him) did some actions.

المغيرة بن مقسم بكسر الميم الضبي مولاهم أبو هشام الكوفي الأعمى ثقة متقن إلا أنه كان يدلس ولا سيما عن إبراهيم من السادسة مات سنة ست وثلاثين على الصحيح ع.
Moghayere Bin Moghsem was reliable and permanent. He cheated especially in the narration that he narrated from Ibrahim.

Amer Bin Sharahil

عامر بن شراحيل أبو عمرو الشعبي أحد الأعلام ولد زمن عمر وسمع عليا وأبا هريرة والمغيرة وعنه منصور وحصين وبيان وابن عون قال أدركت خمسمائة من الصحابة وقال ما كتبت سوداء في بيضاء ولا حدثت بحديث إلا حفظته وقال مكحول ما رأيت أفقه من الشعبي وقال آخر الشعبي في زمانه كابن عباس في زمانه مات سنة ثلاث أو أربع ومائة ع.
Amer Bin Sharahil Shoabi was one of leaders. He was born in the time of Umar and has heard narrations from Imam Ali (peace be upon him), Abu Harire and Moghayere. Shoabi said '' I understood over five hundred companions, did not change the color of white to the color of black, did not narrate any narrations and I only memorized it. Makhul has said '' I found no jurisprudent as best as Shoabi''. Another person has said '' Shoabi was like Ibn Abbas in his time''.
-Al-Kashef v 1 p 522; no 2531

[2: 384] حَدَّثَنَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلامٍ أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَرَّرِ بْنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: " كُنْتُ مُؤَذِّنَ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) بِبَرَاءَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، قَالَ: فَنَادَيْتُ حَتَّى صَحِلَ صَوْتِي، قُلْتُ: بِمَاذَا نَادَيْتَ؟، قَالَ: نَادَيْتُهُمْ إِنَّهُ لا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلا نَفْسٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ، وَلا يَحُجُّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ، وَلا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ، وَمَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) عَهْدُ فَأَجَلُهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ، فَإِذَا مَضَتِ الأَرْبَعَةُ الأَشْهُرُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بَرِيءٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ "
Al-Balazeri, Ahmad Ibn Yahya Ibn Jaber (died in 279 Hejira) Ansab Al-Ashraf v 1 p 289; according to the software of Jamat Al-Kabir
He has narrated in the rest of this narration with another document
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثنا شُعْبَةُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ، أنبأ مُغِيرَةُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مُحْرِزِ بْنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ مُؤَذِّنَ عَلِيٍّ حِينَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) إِلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ بِبَرَاءَةٍ، قَالَ: فَنَادَيْتُ إِنَّهُ: " لا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلا نَفْسٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ، وَلا يَحُجُّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ، وَلا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ، وَمَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) عَهْدٌ فَأَجفاَلُهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ، فَإِذَا مَضَتِ الأَرْبَعَةُ الأَشْهُرُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بَرِئٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ، وَرَسُولُهُ.
-Ansab Al-Ashraf v 1 p 169

These narrations narrated with valid document specify the condition of Abu Harire and his duty. According to this narration, the duty of announcing Baraat is left to Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) and Abu Harire was in this journey to cooperate with him and delivered the message of Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to the people.

The cooperation of Abu Harire with Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) according to the order of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants):

Other narrations with valid document have been narrated in the Sunni sources that at first, according to the order of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants), Abu Harire accompanied Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) in order to cooperate with him in announcing hate from the polytheists. Hakem Neishaburi has written in the book '' Sahih''
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْمَحْبُوبِيُّ، ثنا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ، ثنا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ، أَنْبَأَ شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ الْمُحَرَّرِ بْنِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي الْبَعْثِ الَّذِينَ بَعَثَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِبَرَاءَةَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُهُ، أَوْ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ: فَبِمَ كُنْتُمْ تُنَادُونَ؟ قَالَ: كُنَّا نَقُولُ: " لا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلا مُؤْمِنٌ، وَلا يَحُجَّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ، وَلا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ "، وَمَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَهْدٌ، فَإِنَّ أَجَلَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فَنَادَيْتُ حَتَّى صَحِلَ صَوْتِي.
Mohrer Bin Abi Harire has narrated from his father '' I was with a group that the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) had sent with Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to Mecca for announcing hate ''. His son or another man asked '' what were you announcing? '' He said '' we were saying '' no one will enter the heaven except believers''. I shouted these matters as long as I could.
After narrating this narration, he says
هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الإِسْنَادِ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ.

Narrating from Abu Harire Nasaee has written in the book '' Sonan'' '' I was with Ali Bin Abi Taleb when the messenger of God sent him for announcing hate
2958 أخبرنا محمد بن بَشَّارٍ قال حدثنا مُحَمَّدٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بن عُمَرَ قالا حدثنا شُعْبَةُ عن الْمُغِيرَةِ عن الشَّعْبِيِّ عن الْمُحَرَّرِ بن أبي هُرَيْرَةَ عن أبيه قال جِئْتُ مع عَلِيِّ بن أبي طَالِبٍ حين بَعَثَهُ رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ بِبَرَاءَةَ قال ما كُنْتُمْ تُنَادُونَ قال كنا نُنَادِي أنه لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إلا نَفْسٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ ولا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ وَمَنْ كان بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَهْدٌ فَأَجَلُهُ أو أَمَدُهُ إلى أَرْبَعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ فإذا مَضَتْ الْأَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فإن اللَّهَ بَرِيءٌ من الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ ولا يَحُجُّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ فَكُنْتُ أُنَادِي حتى صَحِلَ صَوْتِي.

According to this narration with valid document, the duty of announcing Baraat is left to Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) and Abu Harire was in this journey to cooperate with him
Consequently, according to the order of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) not according to the order of Abubakr, Abu Harire took part in this journey as the companion of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him).

Abu Harire was under the order of Amir Momenan (peace be upon him):

Some of the Sunni scientists have confessed clearly Abu Harire was present in Mecca under the order of Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) and he expressd hate to polytheists according to the order of Imam Ali (peace be upon him).
Abu Al-Ghasem Soheili, one of Sunni dignitaries in the history, has written in the book '' Al-Ruz Al-Anaf''
وبعث أبا بكر رضي عنه بسورة براءة ليَنْبِذَ إلى كلِ ذي عهدِ عهدَه من المشركين إلا بعض بني بكر الذي لهم عهدٌ إلى أجلٍ خاصٍ ثم أردف بعلي رضي الله عنه فرجع أبو بكر للنبي وقال يا رسول الله هل أنزل في قرآن قال لا ولكن أردت أن يبلغ عني من هو من أهل بيتي. قال أبو هريرة فأمَرَني عليٌ رضي الله عنه أن أطوفَ في المنازلِ من منى ببراءة فكنت أصيح حتى صَحِل حَلْقِي فقيل له: بِمَ كنتَ تنادي؟ فقال بأربع ألا يدخل الجنة إلا مؤمن... .
The messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) sent Abubakr with the Baraat Surah so that the polytheists can break their treaty with Imam Ali apart from Bani Bakr that had treaty in a due time. Then he sent Imam Ali (peace be upon him) with him and Abubakr came back to the prophet and said '' O' the messenger of God! Have any verses been descended about me in the Quran? '' The prophet said '' I wanted that a person from my Ahle Beit preached it''. Abuharire said '' then Imam Ali orderd me to look for houses in Mani and to express hate. I called out untill I could not talk any more. He was asked '' what did you announce?'' he said '' four things…

Halabi has written in his biography
وعن أبي هريرةَ رضي الله عنه قال أمَرَنِي عليٌ كرم الله وجهَه أن أطوفَ في المنازلِ منى ببراءةٍ فكنت أصيحُ حتى صَحِلَ حلقي فقيل له: بماذا كنت تنادي فقال باربع أن لا يدخل الجنة إلا مؤمن... .
