The Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) spoke in front of the 132,000
Hajis for 3 hours in which he surveyed Islam and enumerated Imam Ali (a.s.)’s
contributions from Dawat-ul-Zulasheerah, when he (a.s.) was 11 or 13 years old,
to date.
Some of his (s.a.w.a.s.) narrations are given below:
“O Messenger! Convey what has been revealed to you (about
Ali), and if you do not do so, you will not have conveyed His Message at all. And
Allah shall protect you from (evil) people. Surely Allah will not guide the unbelieving
people (5:67). Three times did Gabriel command me on behalf of my Lord
to make thus a stand to inform every one black and white that: Ali ibn Abi
Talib is my Brother, Wasi, and Successor over my nation and the Imam after me,
the one whose status to me is like Aaron to Moses except there will be no
prophet after me, and he is your master next only to Allah and to His Messenger
and Allah has already revealed to me in one of the fixed verses of His Book
saying, “Your Master is Allah and His Messenger and those who believe, those
who keep up prayers and pay zakat even as they bow down” (5:55) and, Ali ibn
Abi Talib the one keeps up prayers, who pays zakat even as he bows down,
seeking to please Allah, on each and every occasion. I asked Gabriel to
plead to Allah to excuse me from having to convey such a message to you due to
my knowledge that the pious are few while the hypocrites are many. O people!
Allah has installed him (Ali) as your Master and Imam, obligating Muhajirun and
Ansar and those who follow them in goodness to obey him and so should everyone
who believes in His Unity. His decree shall be carried out. His (Ali’s) word is
binding; his command is obligating; cursed is whoever opposes him, blessed with
mercy is whoever follows him and believes in him, for Allah has already
forgiven him and forgiven whoever listens to him and obey him.
O people! This is the last stand I make in such a situation,
so listen and obey, and submit to the Command of Allah, then next to Him is His
Messenger and Prophet who is now addressing you, then after me Ali is your Master
and Imam according to the Command of Allah, then the Imams from among my
Progeny, his offspring, till the Day you meet Allah and His Messenger. O
people! Prefer him (Ali) over all others! There is no knowledge except that
Allah has divulged it to me , and all the knowledge I have learned I have
divulged to Imam al-Muttaqeen (leader of the righteous), and he is al-Imam
al-Mubin (the evident imam) whom Allah mentions in Surah Ya-Sin….and everything
We have computed is in (the knowledge of) an evident Imam.” (36:12) O
people! Do not abandon him, nor should you flee away from him, nor should you
be too arrogant to accept his authority, for he is the one who guides to righteousness
and who acts according to it. He defeats falsehood and prohibits others from
acting according to it, accepting no blame from anyone while seeking to please
Allah. He is first to believe in Allah and in His Messenger; none preceded
him as such. And he is one who offered his life as a sacrifice for the
Messenger of Allah and who was in the company of the Messenger of Allah while
no other man was. He is the first people to offer prayers and the first to
worship Allah with me. I ordered him, on behalf of Allah, to sleep in my
bed, and he did, offering his life as a sacrifice for my sake. O people!
Prefer him (over all others), for Allah has preferred him, and accept him, for
Allah has appointed him (as your leader). O people! He is an Imam appointed by
Allah, and Allah shall never accept the repentance of anyone who denies his
authority, nor shall He forgive him, and that He shall torment him with a most
painful torment for all time to come, so, beware lest you should oppose
him. O people Prefer Ali (over all others) for he is the very best of
all people after me. Cursed and again cursed, condemned and again
condemned, is anyone who does not accept this statement of mine. Gabriel has
informed of this: “Anyone who antagonizes Ali and refuses to accept his
Wilayat shall incur My curse upon him My Wrath. O people! He
(Ali) is Janb-Allah. The Almighty Allah forewarning his (Ali’s) adversaries
says, “Lest a soul should say: O woe unto me for what I fell short of my duty
to Allah, for most surely I was of those who laughed to scorn.” (39:56)
O people! Ali and the good ones from among my offspring from his loins are
the Lesser Weight, while the Qur’an is Greater One: each one of them informs
you and agrees with the other. They shall never part till they meet me at the
Pool (of Kawthar). They are the Trustees of Allah over His creation, the rulers
on earth. There is no Amirul Momineen (Commander of the Faithful) save this
Brother of mine; no authority over a believer is permissible after me except to
him.
