English Translation

'Abdullah ibn Zalim al-Mazini said: When Mu'awiyah left Kufa, he appointed al-Mughirah ibn Shu'bah as governor. He set up speakers who would attack 'Ali (رضي الله عنه). I was sitting next to Sa'id ibn Zayd ibn 'Amr ibn Nufayl, and he became angry, stood up, took my hand, and I followed him. He said: 'Do you not see this man who wrongs himself by ordering the cursing of a man from the people of Paradise? I bear witness upon nine of them that they are in Paradise, and if I testified about the tenth, I would not be sinful.' I asked: 'How so?' He said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Be still, O Hira', for upon you is none but a prophet, a siddiq, or a shahid.' I said: 'Who are they?' He said: 'the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, 'Ali, al-Zubayr, Talhah, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf, and Sa'd ibn Malik.' Then he fell silent. I said: 'And who is the tenth?' He said: 'Me.'
