"عَنْ ابْن الْحَنَفِيَّةِ قَالَ: دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا ابْنُ مُلجِمٍ الْحَمَّامَ وَأَنَا وَحَسَنٌ وَحُسيْنٌ جُلُوسٌ فِى الْحَمَّامِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ كَأَنَّهُمَا اشْمَأَزَّا مِنْهُ وَقَالَا: مَا أَجْرَأَكَ تَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنا، قَالَ، فَقُلتُ لَهُما دَعاهُ عَنْكُمْ فَلَعَمْرِىِ مَا يُرِيدُ بكُما أَجْسَم مِنْ هَذَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْم أُتى بِه أَسِيرًا قالَ ابْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ: مَا أَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِأَعْرَفَ بِهِ مِنِّى يَوْمَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنا الْحَمَّامَ، فَقالَ عَلِىٌّ: إِنَّهُ أَسِيرٌ فَأَحْسِنُوا نُزُلَهُ وَأَكرِمُوا مَثوَاهُ، فَإِنْ بَقِيتُ قَتَلْتُ أَوْ عَفَوْتُ، وَإِنْ مِتُّ فَاقْتُلُوهْ قَتْلَتِى وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ الله لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ".

"From Ibn al-Hanafiyyah, who said: Ibn Muljam entered upon us in the bathhouse while I, Hasan and Husayn were sitting in the bathhouse. When he entered, they both recoiled from him and said: 'How bold you are to enter upon us!' I said to them: 'Leave him alone, for by my life, he intends nothing greater than this against you.' When the day came when he was brought as a captive, Ibn al-Hanafiyyah said: 'Today I know no more about him than I did on the day he entered upon us in the bathhouse.' 'Ali said: 'He is a captive, so treat him well and honour his lodging. If I survive, I will either kill him or pardon him; and if I die, then kill him in retaliation for my killing, and do not transgress. Indeed Allah does not love transgressors.'"
