10. Another distortion of the narration in which Mu’waiyah had ordered S’aad Ibn Abi Waqas to abuse Ali !

Ahmad bin Shu’aib Al-Nasa’i (Died 202 AH) narrated like this : 

أخبرنا محمد بن المثنى، قال: حدثنا أبو بكر الحنفي، قال: حدثنا بكير بن مسمار، قال: سمعت عامر بن سعد، يقول: قال معاوية لسعد بن أبي وقاص: ما منعك أن تسب علي بن أبي طالب؟» قال: لا أسبه ما ذكرت ثلاثاً …..

‘Aamir bin Sa’ad narrated that Mu’awiyah told Sa’ad Ibn Abi Waqas : What prevents you from abusing abusing Ali (as). He replied : I will never abuse him after i heard about him three things…..

Al-Nasa’i narrated same narration with same wording in his another book.

Khasais Ali Ibn Abi Talib – Nasa’i // Page 56 // Number 54 // Edn. Maktaba Asariyyah Beriut Lebanon.

Now the same narration has been narrated by Al-Bazzar (Died 292 AH) with same chain but he tampered with the text by changing the name of Mu’waiyah to Man (رجل).
