Narrated byAbu Tihya
Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي تِحْيَى، قَالَ لَمَّا ضَرَبَ ابْنُ مُلْجِمٍ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ الضَّرْبَةَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ افْعَلُوا بِهِ كَمَا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ بِرَجُلٍ أَرَادَ قَتْلَهُ فَقَالَ اقْتُلُوهُ ثُمَّ حَرِّقُوهُ.
English Translation
It was narrated that Abu Tihya said: When Ibn Muljim struck `Hadrat Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him), Hadrat 'Ali said: Do with him what the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) wanted to be done with a man who wanted to kill him. He said: `Kill him, then burn him.`
