and we have seen them at the door of their houses and their shops in the good, fragrant scents." So he said to them: "If I have burned them with the fire, I and you, and we prayed over them, and Allah has given them life, then there is no sin for me, and indeed Allah does what He wills."

[299] And from it: And it has been narrated from Abu al-Aswad al-Du'ali that he said: I was traveling with the Commander of the Faithful and he was traveling to the fighting of the Kharijites (al-Khawarij), when Amr bin Jarmuz met him and said to him: "You must return from what you intended for." So the Commander of the Faithful said to him: "And why is that, O Amr?" So he said to him: "Because the sun is with the tail of the dragon (Dhanab al-Tinnin [an astrological node]), and it is an inauspicious day."
