The Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) disclosed the status of the
Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (a.s.) detailed below:
“I and Ali were one light 14,000 years before the
creation of Adam, our light was placed in the loins of Adam and travelled up till
Abdul Muttalib then it was split into two; one was placed in my father’s
(Abdullah) and the other in Abu Talib’s. Two thousand years before the creation
of skies, it was written on the door of the Heavens, “There is no god but
Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger and Ali is his brother.” Ali is from me and I
am from Ali. There are three “Siddiq” in the Ummahs; Habib Najjar of “Ale
Yasin”, Khizqil of Ale Firaun and Ali ibne Abi Talib, and Ali is the best of the
three. O Ali, you are to me like Harun was to Musa but that there is no
prophet after me. After migration to Madinah, he (s.a.w.a.s.) made
brother hood between Muhajir and Ansars and he made Imam Ali as his brother and
said, “You are my brother in this world and Hereafter.” Whoever
hurts Ali, Allah shall raise him a Jewish or Christian. I am the Warner
and Ali is the Guide. As Surah Tawhid is unique in the Glorious
Qur’an, likewise Ali is unique in my Ummah. Ali’s love cleanses
the sins like fire burns the wood. Wisdom is divided into ten parts and nine
were given to Ali. I am the “City of Knowledge and Ali is the gateway”.
Ali’s right on my Ummah is like the right of a father on his son. Ali is the
best dispenser of justice in my Ummah. “O Ali! You have three
superiority which no one else has, not even me. Firstly, you have a father
-in-law like me but not given to me. Secondly, you have a wife like my daughter
Fatima, which my wife is not comparable to her. Thirdly, you have sons
like Hasan and Husayn which I did not get. Whoever wants to see Adam in
his knowledge, and Noah in his understanding, and Yahya in his piety and Musa
in his dread, he should look at Ali ibne Abi Talib. People do not complain
about Ali; he is extremely strict and firm about Islam. Hypocrite will not be
friendly with Ali and Momin has no enmity with him. Whoever curses Ali curses
me. Looking at Ali’s face is devotion (ibadat). Talking about Ali is devotion
(ibadat). Ali your body is my body, your blood is my blood, your heart is my
heart, your nafs is my nafs, your soul is my soul. Whenever the
golden door of Paradise is knocked, it gives a sound of O Ali O Ali. “O Ali you
and your Shiah will be pleased (razi) with Allah, and Allah will be pleased
with them. If Allah would not create Ali, there would not be any equal (kufu)
for Fatima. The title of the book of momin is the love of Ali. O Ali, on the
Day of Judgement you decide who will go to Paradise and to Hell Fire. I
fought on the revelation of Qur’an Ali will fight on its interpretation.
On the day of Arafat, at the Ghadir-e-Khumm, and many occasions, he
(s.a.w.a.s.) recited the historical sermon reminding the Ummah about the
Glorious Qur’an and his Ahlul Bayt and directed them to be attached to both.
Allah All-mighty spoke to me in the language and accent of Ali during my
celestial flight of Ascension (Mai’raj). Allah has created seventy thousand angels
from the light of the face of Ali and they will seek repentance for him
and his (a.s.) shiahs till the Day of Resurrection. O Ali! Allah
elevated me in all the men and after me He elevated you and your infallible progeny
and lastly, He elevated Fatima and made her superior to all the women of the world.
Allah had appointed vice-gerent for every Messenger; thus, Adam’s vicegerent
was Shees, Musa’s vicegerent was Yu’sha, Isa’s vicegerent was Shamoun and my
vicegerent is Ali. During the Ascension (Mai’raj) Gabriel told me that if my
Ummah unanimously agreed on the Vilayat of Ali, Allah would not have created Hell.
O Ali! Anyone who has
the age of Noah, has gold equal to the mountain of Uhad, and he spends it in
the way of Allah, he performs 1,000 Haj on foot and later killed between Safa
and Marwa with oppression; if he does love you (Ali), he will never smell the
scent of Paradise!
Out of 161 traditions in the book, we have selected only the
above-mentioned ones for dearth of space.
