Batriyya (Butris)

They are refereed in Shii hadiths. Please visit the tashayyu website.


The Batriyya are the companions of Kathir an-Nawa, al-Hasan b. Salih b. Hayy, Salim b. Abi Hafsa, al-Hakam b. `Utayba, Salama b. Kuhayl, and Abu ‘l-Miqdam Thabit the blacksmith.

They are the ones who invited to the walayat of `Ali عليه السلام then mixed it with the walayat of Abu Bakr and `Umar and affirmed their Imamate for them. 

And they belittle `Uthman, Talha, and az-Zubayr.

And they regard the going out (for jihad) to be with the under-tribes (butun) of the children of `Ali b. Abi Talib going in that to commanding good and prohibiting evil (al-amr bi’l-ma`ruf wa an-nahi `an al-munkar).

And for anyone who goes out (for jihad) from the descendants of `Ali عليه السلام, they affirm his Imamate with his going out.
