"عن الأصْبَغِ الحَنْظَلِىِّ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَتْ اللَّيْلَةُ التى أُصِيبَ فِيهَا عَلىٌّ أَتَاهُ ابنُ النَّبَّاحِ حِينَ طَلَعَ الفَجْرُ يُؤْذِنُه بالصَّلَاةِ وهُوَ مُضْطَجعٌ فَتَثَاقَلَ فَعَادَ إلَيْهِ الثَّانِيَةَ وهُوَ كَذَلِكَ: ثُمَّ عادَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَامَ عَلِىٌّ يَمشْى وهو يَقُولُ: شُدَّ حَيازِيمكَ لِلْمَوتِ... فَإِنَّ الموْتَ لَاقِيكَ ولَا تَجْزَعْ مِنَ المَوْتِ... إِذَا حَلَّ بِوَادِيكَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْبَابَ الصَّغِيرَ شَدَّ عَلَيْه ابْنُ مُلجَم فَضَرَبَهُ".

"From al-Asbagh al-Handhali, who said: On the night in which 'Ali was struck, Ibn al-Nabbah came to him when dawn broke, to call him to prayer, while he was lying down. He was slow to rise, so he returned to him a second time while he was in the same state. Then he returned a third time, and 'Ali got up walking and saying: 'Gird your loins for death... for death will meet you, and do not be distressed by death... when it descends upon your valley.' When he reached the small door, Ibn Muljam attacked him and struck him."
