Hadiths About Imam Ali (as) - His Virtues (part Iii)

Content:

You are from me and I am from you The hypocrite will hate you and the believer will love you He who insults Ali, insults me - He who hurts Ali, hurts me Me and Ali are from one tree - You are my brother in this world and the hereafter Allah commanded me that none should proclaim this except me or someone from my Ahlul-Bayt I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate Whoever obeys Ali has obeyed me...

You are from me and I am from you Narrated Al-Bara: When the Prophet went out for the 'Umra in the month of Dhal-Qa'da, the people of Mecca did not allow him to enter Mecca till he agreed to conclude a peace treaty with them by virtue of which he would stay in Mecca for three days only (in the following year). When the agreement was being written, the Muslims wrote: "This is the peace treaty, which Muhammad, Apostle of Allah has concluded." The infidels said (to the Prophet), "We do not agree with you on this, for if we knew that you are Apostle of Allah we would not have prevented you for anything (i.e. entering Mecca, etc.), but you are Muhammad, the son of 'Abdullah." Then he said to 'Ali, "Erase (the name of) 'Apostle of Allah'."

'Ali said, "No, by Allah, I will never erase you (i.e. your name)." Then Allah's Apostle took the writing sheet...and he did not know a better writing..and he wrote or got it the following written! "This is the peace treaty which Muhammad, the son of 'Abdullah, has concluded: "Muhammad should not bring arms into Mecca except sheathed swords, and should not take with him any person of the people of Mecca even if such a person wanted to follow him,

and if any of his companions wants to stay in Mecca, he should not forbid him." (In the next year) when the Prophet ente336699 Mecca and the allowed period of stay elapsed, the infidels came to Ali and said "Tell your companion (Muhammad) to go out, as the allowed period of his stay has finished." So the Prophet departed (from Mecca) and the daughter of Hamza followed him shouting "O Uncle, O Uncle!" Ali took her by the hand and said to Fatima, "Take the daughter of your uncle." So she made her ride (on her horse). (When they reached Medina) 'Ali, Zaid and Ja'far quarreled about her. 'Ali said, "I took her for she is the daughter of my uncle."

Ja'far said, "She is the daughter of my uncle and her aunt is my wife." Zaid said, "She is the daughter of my brother." On that, the Prophet gave her to her aunt and said, "The aunt is of the same status as the mother." He then said to 'Ali, "You are from me, and I am from you," and said to Ja'far, "You resemble me in appearance and character," and said to Zaid, "You are our brother and our freed slave." 'Ali said to the Prophet 'Won't you marry the daughter of Hamza?" The Prophet said, "She is the daughter of my foster brother."

The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, deployed an army division under the command of Ali ibn Abu Talib who chose, as his share of the khums, a slave-girl for himself, and people criticized him. Four men vowed to complain against him to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny. When they came to the Prophet, one of them stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Have you seen how Ali has done such and such?' The Prophet (pbuh) turned his face away from him. The second stood up and spoke likewise, and the Prophet (pbuh) ignored him, too.

The third stood up and repeated what his fellows had previously stated, and he, too, was ignored. The fourth one stood up and stated exactly as had been stated by his fellows. It was then that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, turned to them with anger in his eyes and said:

What do you want of Ali? Ali is of me and I am of him, and only after me is he the mawla of all believers.' عحَدَّثَنَا قُتَي'بَةُ بنُ سَع'دٍ أَخ'بَرَنَا جَعفرُ بنُ سُلِيمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ عَن يزيدَ الرشَكِ عَن مُطَّرفِ بنِ عَب'دِ اللَّهِ عَن عُمَرانَ بنِ حُصينٍ قَالَ: "بعثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم جيشاً واستعملَ عليهم' عَليَّ بنَ أبي طالبٍ؛ فمضَى في السَّريَّةِ فأصابَ جاريةً فأنكروا عليهِ وتعاقدَ أربعةٌ من أص'حَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم فقَالُوا إن لَقِينَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم أَخ'بَرَنَاهُ بما صَنَعَ عليٌّ. وكَانَ المُس'لِمونَ إذا رَجعُوا من سفرٍ بدأوا برَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم فسلَّموا عليهِ ثُمَّ انصرفُوا إِلى رِحالِهم'، فَلمَّا قَدِمَتِ السَّريَّةُ سلَّموا على النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم، فقامَ أحدُ الأربعةِ فقَالَ يا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ: ألم' ترَ إِلى عَليِّ ابنِ أبي طالبٍ صَنَعَ كذَا وكَذَا فأعرضَ عنهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم، ثُمَّ قامَ الثَّاني فقَالَ مثلَ مقَالَته فأعرضَ عنهُ، ثُمَّ قامَ إليهِ الثَّالثُ فقَالَ مِثلَ مقَالَته فأعرضَ عنهُ، ثُمَّ قامَ الرَّابعُ فقَالَ مثلَ ما قَالُوا فأقبلَ إليهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَي'هِ وسَلَّم والغضبُ يُعرَفُ في وجهِهِ فقَالَ ما تُريدونَ من عليٍّ، ما تُريدونَ من عليٍّ، إنَّ عليَّاً منِّي وأنا منهُ، وهو وليُّ كُلِّ مؤمنٍ من بعدِي". هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِي'بٌ لا نَع'رِفُهُ إلا من حَدِيثِ جعفرِ بنِ سُلِيمَان.

Buraydah narrated: "The Messenger of Allah sent two armies to Yemen. One of them was led by Ali ibn Abu Talib (as), and the other by Khalid ibn al-Walid. He instructed them thus: When you combine your forces, let Ali be the ovrall leader. But if you disperse, then each one of you is the leader over his own troops.' We then battled Banu Zubayda, and Ali selected one of the captives, a slave-girl, for himself; so, Khalid and I wrote to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, to inform him of the incident. When I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, and the letter was read for him, I noticed anger in his eyes; therefore, I pleaded to him by saying: This is the place for those who seek refuge; you have sent me with a commander and ordered me to obey him, and I have done just that.' The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, said: Do not ever plot against Ali, for he is of me and I am of him, and he is your wali after me.'"

Top Allah commanded me that none should proclaim this except me or someone from my Ahlul-Bayt The Prophet of Allah (PBUH&HF) sent her Abu Bakr to proclaim the Chapter al-Bara'a to the pilgrims. While Abu Bakr was on his way, a devine revelation instructed the prophet that none should make this proclaimation except himself or a member of his Ahlul Bayt. So he immediatly sent Ali after Abu Bakr, to take back the responsibility from him. Abu Bakr returned in tears to the prophet and asked the reason for this action. The Prophet of Allah (PBUH&HF) responded as follows:

"Allah commanded me that none should proclaim this except me or someone from my Ahlul-Bayt". and thus he sent Ali for this mission.

This narration demonstrates the superiority of Ali in knowledge over the companions. The prophet is the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate. Abu Bakr said: "May Allah never put me in a situation where I can not have access to Abul Hasan (i.e., Ali) to solve a problem." and Umar said: "If there was not Ali, Umar would have perished." After the prophet, no one was more knowledgeable than Ali.

All scholars agree on the authenticity of this hadith. It implies that after the demise of the prophet, if there was any desagreement among the Muslims on any religious issue, they ought to consult Ali because he held the key to all the answers. In order to enter the city of knowledge, one must enter through its gate. It means that in order to reach the prophet and get close to him in faith, one must go through imam Ali. The gate also provides protection to the city, which implies that Ali was the protector of the knowledge of the prophet. Only him could protect this knowledge against pollution such as the fabrications that have stained all the books of hadith. Ali and his household were the only individual to tell the true hadith from the false one.

It is reported that in his last moments, the prophet called upon Ali and said: "put my head on your lap for the order of God (for my death) has come. When my soul departs, take it with your hands and rub your face with it....", which leads to the following narration: Imam Ali said: "The Messenger of Allah at that time (before his last breath) taught me one thousand chapters (Bab) of knowledge, every one of which opened for me one thousand other chapters."
