ENGLISH TRANSLATION

7. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from Ali ibn Ibrahim al-‘Aqili, in a marfu‘ manner, (yarfa‘uhu) has said the following: “When Ibn Muljam injured Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام he (Ali) said to al-Hassan عليه السلام , 'My son, If I will die, kill Ibn Muljam, dig the ground for him in al-Kunasa (name of a place) and throw him therein. (According to ‘Aqili’s description al-Kunasa is at the gate called ‘Taq al-Mahamil’ where people cook animals’ legs and heads for food) It is a valley of the valleys of Hell.”
