Therefore, tell me about two words I ask you about: What is al‐‘utrif in your body? And what is al‐
Sehlejj in man? Then write me something good about that. While I am approaching to you, I warn
you against disobeying the Caliph (i.e., Harun). I urge you to do good to him and to obey him, and
that you have to demand for yourself security before the finger nails take you and you are
besieged from all places, so you will look for rest in all places, but you do not find it until Allah
bestows his favor upon you, and the gentleness of the Caliph, may Allah keep him alive. So he will
give you security, have mercy on you, and keeps through you the womb relatives of Allah’s
Apostle, may Allah bless him and his family. And peace be on those who follow guidance. Surely it
has been revealed to us that the chastisement will surely come upon him who rejects and turns
back.[1]
We cannot depend on the narration because it is an incompletely transmitted hadith (mursala). In
its chain of authorities it has been mentioned: “A companion of us narrated.” Besides many men
of the chain of authorities are unknown. Among them are Muhammed b. Renjwayh and ‘Abd Allah
b. al‐Hekem al‐Armeni. However, we have not found their names in the books of the traditionists

resistance would fail. He thought that his revolutionary cousins had not to war against this
tyrannical (Harun) and his unjust predecessors, and that they had to propagate the doctrine of Ahl
al‐Bayt, peace be on them, and to mention the defects of their oppressive enemies. That is
because this is the best way in putting an end to their opponents and their enemies.
K. Breaking the Security
Yehya harassed Harun, and he summoned the jurists of the time. He put before them the security
he gave to him. They unanimously agreed that there was no way to break it except Abu al‐
Bukhteri,[1] who bought Harun his religion, drew upon him disgrace and loss. For he thought
about the security and said: “This (security) is invalid and abrogated. Yehya has rebelled and shed
blood; therefore, killing him and shedding his blood is lawful.” Accordingly, Harun said to him: “If
it is invalid, then tear it up with your own hand.” This sinful person took the document of security,
spitted at it, and torn it into pieces. So al‐Rashid gave him a million and six hundred (dirhams), and
appointed him as a judge. Moreover he decided to execute Yehya.
L. His Martyrdom
The historians have differed over the way in which Yehya was martyred. It was said that Harun
ordered him to be taken out of the underground prison in the dark night. When Yehya stood
