According to Saleem bin
Quays, the Infallible Imam Husayn (a.s.) along with Abdullah ibne Abbas and
Abdullah ibne Jafar visited Makkah to perform Hajj. In Mina, Imam Husayn (a.s.)
invited a huge gathering of about seven hundred “Ta’be’in” and about two
hundred companions of the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.). Imam Husayn (a.s.)
stood in front of the gathering and delivered a sermon as detailed below:
“Praise be to Allah. You all are aware of what Mua’wiya
had done to us and our Shias. I want to ask you a question and if I say the truths
then you testify it and if you do not agree then you may reject it. Please keep
it secret with you and when you go back home then disclose it to your trusted
ones so that when truth becomes old then it would be forgotten although Allah
will protect its light. Imam Husayn (a.s.) recited the Ayahs of the Noble Qur’an
and the Traditions of the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) about Imam Ali (a.s.),
Sayyida Fatima Zahra (s.a.) and himself. The
audience testified every question and said: “By Allah, we had heard it and
testify it.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that my grandfather (s.a.w.a.s.)
at the time of making brother hood among his companions, made my father Ali ibne
Abi Talib (a.s.) as his brother and said: “O
Ali! You are my brother and I am your brother in this world and Hereafter.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that all the doors of the companions were closed into the mosque except
the door of my father Ali ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) on the orders of Allah (s.w.t.)”
“Can you swear by Allah, that on the Day of Velayat of my
father Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) at Ghadeer-e-Khum, the Noble Messenger
(s.a.w.a.s.) said: “Whoever’s I am
Maula, Ali is also his Maula”
“Can you swear by Allah, that on the eve of the Battle of
Tabuk, the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) said to my father Ali ibne Abi Talib
(a.s.): “Your status with me is the same
as Harun was to Musa”
“Can you swear by Allah, that on the eve of Mubahelah, the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) took
no one else except my father Ali ibne abi Talib (a.s.), my mother Sayyida
Fatima Zahra (s.a.), my brother Hasan (a.s.) and me.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that on the eve of the Battle of
Khyber, the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.)
said: “I will give the standard of Islam to a man whom Allah and His Prophet
love and who loves Allah and His Prophet and will not run away from the battle
field and bring Victory to Islam.” My father was the Conqueror of Khyber.
“Can you swear by Allah, that the Noble Messenger
(s.a.w.a.s.) gave the “Ayahs of
Sura-e-Bara’at” and had said: “This
can only be delivered by me or the one who is from me.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that I am the most important among the progeny of Adam, my brother Ali
is the Chief and Leader of Arabs, my daughter Fatima Zahra is the leader of the
women of Paradise, and Hasan and Husayn are the chief of the Youths of
Paradise.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) had asked my father Ali ibne Abi Talib to
bathe him after his apparent demise from this world and that Archangel Jibra’eel
will assist him.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that on the last sermon of his
apparent life in this world, the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) had said: “I am leaving behind two weighty and priceless
things; the Glorious Qur’an and my Progeny and that will not get astray if you
are attached to both of them.”
“Can you swear by Allah, that the Noble Messenger
(s.a.w.a.s.) had said: “Whoever
professes that he is my friend but cultivates hatred for Ali, is a liar. It is
impossible to love me and hate Ali at the same time. Because I am from him and
he is from me. Whoever loves Ali loves me and whoever loves me loves Allah.
Similarly, whoever hates Ali hates me and whoever hates me hates Allah.
