==In the Battle of Jamal == | ==Muhammad and Imam Ali (a)== | ||
Before his martyrdom, when [[Imam Ali (a)]] was making his will, he told Muhammad: "I advise you to respect your brothers, because you owe them greatly. Obey their commands. Do not make a decision without consulting them." | |||
Then the Imam (a) told Imam al-Hasan and Imam al-Husayn: "I advise you regarding [caring for] him, as he is your brother ... and you know that your father loves him."<ref>Tabari, ''Tarikh al-Tabari'', vol.5 p.147</ref> | |||

According to some reports, Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya was not certain about taking hold of the standard of Imam 'Ali's (a) army, and even reproached his father<ref>Ibn Khallikan, ''Wafayat al-a'yan'', Vol. 4, P.171</ref>, but eventually bore the standard, and thus made a reputation. Although in some sources such as; [[al-Tabari]], [[Ibn Kathir]], and [[Ibn al-Jawzi]], the standard-bearing of Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya is reported without a hint to such a doubt, the narration of [[Ibn Khallikan]] posits his standard-bearing in the [[Battle of Siffin]] and his doubts about it<ref>Ibn al-Jawzi, ''al-Muntazam'', Vol.5, P.78; Sabiri, ''Tarikh-i firaq-i Islami'', Vol.2, P.51</ref> | According to some reports, Muhammad b. al-Hanafiyya was not certain about taking hold of the standard of Imam 'Ali's (a) army, and even reproached his father<ref>Ibn Khallikan, ''Wafayat al-a'yan'', Vol. 4, P.171</ref>, but eventually bore the standard, and thus made a reputation.

===Battle of Siffin=== | |||
Muhammad participated in the battle of Siffin, and was one of the commanders of that battle.<ref>Ibn Shahrashub, ''Manaqib al Abi Talib'', vol.3 p.168</ref> | |||
[[Al-Allama al-Majlisi]] mentions a story about Muhammad's presence in that battle. According to the story, during the battle, Imam Ali (a) commanded Muhammad to raid the right side of Mu'awiya's army with his troops. Muhammad fulfilled his father's command successfully but got injured. | |||
Afterwards, the Imam (a) commanded him to attack the left side of the enemy's army. Muhammad obeyed his father, and again got injured. | |||
The Imam (a) commanded Muhammad for a third time to raid the middle side of the enemy's army. Muhammad successfully conducted the raid, but returned crying and with great injuries. | |||
When the Imam (a) saw him, he kissed Muhammad's forehead and ask him why he was crying. Muhammad replied, "Why shouldn't I be crying when you sent me three times to death … and each time when I returned, you didn't give me a break, whereas you never commanded my brothers [[al-Hasan]] and [[al-Husayn]] [to fight]." The Imam (a) responded, "O my dear son! You are my son, but they are the sons of the Prophet (s). Shouldn't I preserve them?" Muhammad replied, "Yes, my dear father! May God make me your ransom and their ransom."<ref>Majlisi, ''Bihar al-anwar'', vol.45 p.349</ref> | |||
