Hadith 38:184

Yahya ibn Adam narrated to us, he said: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Awn, from al-Hasan, who said: When ‘Ali appointed the two arbitrators, the people of al-Harura’ said: "You have done nothing but join these people." So they went out. Then Iblis came to them and said: "Where were these people whom we left as Muslims? What an evil opinion we held! And if they were [as they were], it is necessary for us to call out to them." Al-Hasan said: So Abu al-Hasan (Ali) sprang upon them and cut them down completely.

حدثنا يحيى بن آدم قال ثنا حماد بن زيد عن بن عون عن الحسن قال لما صنع علي الحكمين قال أهل الحروراء ما تزيد أن تجامع لهؤلاء فخرجوا فأتاهم إبليس فقال أين كان هؤلاء القوم الذين فارقنا مسلمين لبئس الرأي رأينا ولئن كانوا لينبغي لنا أن نناديهم قال الحسن فوثب عليهم أبو الحسن فجذهم جذا
