(1) In Ibn Sa'd’s *al-Tabaqāt* (vol. 3): “Yazīd ibn Hārūn informed us, saying: Hishām ibn Hassān ibn Muhammad narrated from Abīda, who said: Alī said, ‘What is preventing the most wretched of you from coming to kill me? O Allah, I have grown weary of them, and they have grown weary of me. Grant them relief from me and grant me relief from them.’” Ibn Abd al-Barr also relates in *al-Istiāb* (3:61–62) a report from Abū Abd al-Rahmān al-Sulamī, who narrated it from al-Hasan, from his father. It states: “My son, I saw the Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—while I was asleep. I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—what crookedness and bitter contentiousness I have endured from your community!’ He replied, ‘Pray to Allah against them.’ I therefore said, ‘O Allah, replace them for me with people better than they, and replace me for them with someone worse than me.’” (2) “May Allah be pleased with them both” is an addition in A and B. Ibn Taymiyya previously stated (this book, 1:36) that the designation *Rāfida* arose only when the Shia rejected Zayd ibn Alī ibn al-Husayn during the caliphate of Hishām, after 120 AH, and that before then they were known by a different designation. Works on sects agree that they were called the Shia because they supported Alī—may Allah be pleased with him. In his annotation on al-Asharī’s words in *Maqālāt al-Islāmiyyīn* (1:65), Shaykh Muhammad Muhyī al-Dīn Abd al-Hamīd quotes what Abū Saīd Nashwān al-Himyarī wrote in *al-Hūr al-Īn*: “Al-Jāhiz related that, in the earliest period, only someone who gave Alī precedence over Uthmān was called a Shia. Hence the terms ‘Shia’ and ‘Uthmānī’ were used: a Shia was someone who gave Alī precedence over Uthmān, while an Uthmānī was someone who gave Uthmān precedence over Alī.” See also al-Himyarī’s discussion of the origin of the name Shia, their initial emergence, and their division into sects after the killing of al-Husayn: *al-Hūr al-Īn*, pp. 178–182 [n. ed.], al-Khānjī and al-Muthannā, 1948.
