will despise him; support those who will support him; sad reject those
who will reject him.

had no access. Thus God had interposed a veil between the evil spirits
and the child who was to grow up to exalt His Holy Name. The
sanctified birth of Ali (A.S.), as that of Holy Prophet Muhammad
(S.A.W.), was foretold in the scriptures, when God said to Abraham,
who asked for a blessing on Ishmael:
150. “The Holy Prophet brought me up in his own arms and fed me
with his own morsel. I followed him wherever he went, like a baby
camel which follows its mother. Each day an aspect of his character
would beam out of his noble soul and I would accept it and follow it
as a command.”
151. The Holy Prophet [s] said: "The likeness of my Ahlul-Bayt
(progeny) amongst my Ummah (followers) is similar to Noah's Ark.
Those who embarked on it were rescued and those who rejected it
perished...."
152. Abu Dharr al-Ghifari says that one day he was praying with the
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) when a beggar came to the Prophet’s mosque.
None responded to his pleas. The beggar raised his hands towards
heavens and said, Allah! Be a witness that I came to the Prophet’s
Mosque and no one gave me anything. Ali (a.s.) was bowing, in ruku
at that time. He pointed his little finger, on which was a ring, towards
him who came forward and took away the ring. This incident occurred
in the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.) presence who raised his face towards
heavens and prayed : O Lord! My brother Musa had begged to You to
open his chest to make his work easy for him, to loosen the knot of his
tongue so that people might understand him and to appoint from
among his relations his brother, as his vizier, and to strengthen his
back with Harun and to make Harun his partner in his work. O Allah!
You said to Musa, We will strengthen your arms with your brother.
No one will now have an access to either of you! O Allah! I am

sleeping in his bed while the enemies were outside plotting to murder
him, addressed Gabriel and Michael thus: "I have created brotherhood
between both of you and let the life-span of one of you be longer than
that of the other. Which one of you wishes to have the life of the other
be longer than his own?" Each held his own life dearer.
227. The Almighty said: "Why can't you be like `Ali ibn Abu Talib
between whom and Muhammad I have created brotherhood, and he
has chosen to sleep in Muhammad's bed, offering to sacrifice his own
life for his brother? Go down to earth and protect him from his foes."
They both came down. Gabriel stood at `Ali's head while Michael
stood at his feet. Gabriel cried: "Congratulations! Congratulations!
Who can be like you, O son of Abu Talib? Even Allah brags about
you to His angels!" Regarding that incident, the verse "And there are
among men those who trade their own lives for the Pleasure of Allah
(Qur'an, 2:207)" was revealed.

263. The Holy Prophet [s] said in one of his sermons regarding
Imam ‘Ali [a]: God has so much exalted my brother ‘Ali that his
numerous virtues could not be counted easily: whosoever from
amongst you narrates one of his excellences, God will forgive his past
and future sins; and whosoever will record one of his excellence, the
angels will bless him as long as his writing remains; whosoever will
read about his virtues (with his eyes), the since of the eye will be
forgiven for him. Beware! That man is not steadfast in faith who does
not love ‘Ali and does not shun his enemies.
264. Thus, to understand the lofty status of Imam ‘Ali [a] is ibadat in
itself, for such an understanding strengthens one's love for the Ahlul-
bayt [a] and one's hate for their enemies; resulting in increased piety
and devotion to the Almighty [a].
265. O Ali a.s ! do not get furious & when you (happen to) be
enraged then sit down & meditate about the power of Allah over His
slaves & His fore forbearance about them .
266. O Ali a.s ! all the eyes will weep on the resurrection day except
3 eyes , 1) The eye which remained waking in the night till morning
on the way of Allah & the eye which refrained from seeing the things
prohibited by Allah , the eye which shed tear from the fear of Allah .
267. Allah Talah has not make strong heart of Momin lover of
Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib a.s because of that in this world his foot
moves . But on the Day of Judgment , God made them strong , In the
world there is no harm ness in moving here & there & in the last .
268. Those who loves with Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib a.s in his life
& after death , Allah Talah save him in this world & in the last saved
him for harm ness .
269. O Ali a.s ! Allah Talah forgave you , your Ahlal Bait a.s your
shia & your friends of shia . It is sure you are save from Shrike & had
a lot of Knowledge .
270. Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , In my Ummat there are 70,000
rows will entered in Paradise with out giving exams , & then He see
towards Hazrat Ali a.s ,& says to him & they are Ali a.s & his Shia's ,
O Ali a.s ! those shia enter in Paradise without exams , you are there
Imam a.s .
271. The man who always stayed with the Holy Prophet.
272. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) asks Ali (a.s) to cover for him, by
pretending to be him sleeping in his bed, so that he may escape
successfully undected by Quraysh assassins.

273. Eminent commentators of the Holy Qur'an hold that this verse
was revealed on the 18th of Zil- Hijja 10 A.H. when the Holy Prophet
S.A.W.A.S. was about to reach the place Khum on his way back from
Mecca after having performed his Hajj-a-Wida (Farewell Pilgrimage).
All the Sunni traditionists agree that this verse relates to the
declaration by the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. about Ameerul
Mo'mineen Imam 'Ali A.S. to be the Successor, Viceregent and Caliph
after him. It is noteworthy that the verse refers to some very important
message which Allah commands the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. to
convey to the people and that message is so important that if not
conveyed it would mean that the function of Prophethood was not
carried out.
The words "ma unzila elaika" (what has been sent down to you) give a
clear indication that a particular message had already been
communicated to the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. and now it was to be
conveyed to the people at large. The action taken by the Holy Prophet
S.A.W.A.S. in compliance to this command shows that this particular
message referred to in this verse related to the declaration of Imam
'Ali A.S. as the Successor, Guide and Caliph of the Muslims after the
Holy Prophet. Upon revelation, the Holy Prophet got down
immediately from his camel and ordered the area to be cleared for
people to assemble, and a pulpit to be prepared using the saddles of
the camels.
274. Under his orders Bilal the Muazzin (prayer-caller) called out to
the people in the words, "Hayya ala khairil 'amal", meaning "O'
people, collect together for the virtuous act". Those who had gone
ahead were required to come back while those who were lagging
behind were asked to quicken their pace and reach the halting place as
the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. was to address them. When all the
people had assembled as ordered, the Holy Prophet ascended the
improvised pulpit prepared for him for the occasion and delivered a
long lecture during the course of which he said:
275. "All praise is due to Allah Who is the Creator and Lord of the
entire Universe. It is the bounden duty of everyone to offer Him
thanks in comfort as well as distress, in ease as well as hardship. I
acknowledge to be His servant and creature and bear witness that He
is my Master and Lord. I convey to the people all that He reveals to
me for their guidance, of I do fear that if I do not do so and fail to
carry out His behest I shall have to face chastisement which on one
shall be able to avert from me by any device whatsoever."
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
283. This Ali Ibn Abi Talib A.S. is my brother, and my successor,
and bear in mind that his appointment as my successor is from Allah
and Allah has revealed this fact to me."
284. "O' people this Ali A.S. an the other infallibles in my progeny
constitute the Siqlul-Asghar, the junior of the weighty two weighty
things while the Holy Qur'an is the Siqlul-Akbar, the Senior one, and
these two would not get separated from each other till they join me at
the Cistern of Kausar (Hawzil Kausar) on the Day of Judgement
(Yawmul Qiyyamah).
285. Beware the I have discharged my duty; beware that I have
conveyed what I was charged by Allah to convey, take note that I
have clarified everything and note that whatever Allah revealed to me
has been faithfully conveyed by me to you. Take note that no one
except this my brother Ali A.S. would be the Ameerul Mo'mineen, the
Commander of the Faithful, for after me it is not lawful for anyone
except Imam Ali A.S. to wield authority over the Faithful."
286. "O' people I have clearly explained all the matters before you.
Now after me this Imam Ali A.S would be explaining to you these
matters. After finishing my speech I would call you to pay allegiance
(Bay'at) to him, and to acknowledge him.
287. Beware that I have paid allegiance (Bay'at) to Allah while
Imam Ali A.S. has paid allegiance to me.
288. Now I am taking your allegiance for Imam Ali A.S. under the
Command of Allah.
289. Now you should also proclaim that in this matter you bow
before the Command of Allah and would obey Him, and obey me, and
obey Imam Ali A.S., Imam Hasan A.S. and Imam Husain A.S. and the
other Imams A.S. in Husain A.S.'s line as mentioned by me."
290. "O' people, now say what I have told you to say and from now
onwards you should offer salutation to Imam Ali A.S. by the title
Ameerul Mo'mineen. Now confirm that you have heard and accepted
what I have told you, and also say: All praise is due to Allah who gave
us guidance for if He had not given us guidance we would have
remained without it"."
291. The entire crowd then cried loudly and confirmed, "Yes, O'
Prophet of Allah S.A.W.A.S., we have heard you fully and are ready
and prepared to obey every Command of Allah and every Command
of the Prophet of Allah with heart, tongue and limbs."
292. The people then thronged to the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. and
Imam Ali A.S. from all sides. The first who held out their pledge to
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
the Holy Prophet in the matter were Abu Bakr, Umer and
Usman.Then they were followed by other Migrants (Muhajireen) and
the Locals (Ansar) and the rest of the people of all classes, groups and
grades, so much so that the Maghrib and Isha Salaat were offered
together because of the function having extended till it was fairly
dark.
293. Umer the second Caliph is reported to have greeted Imam Ali
A.S. on this occasion in the following words: "Greeting be to you O'
'Ali son of Abu Talib; you have become my Master and the master of
every believer (faithful) man and woman".
294. The Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. repeated the last sentence thrice.
This is as recorded in the Saheeh Muslim of Muslim. However,
Nisaee, Imam Ahmad bin Hambal, Tirmizee, Tibrani and Tabari have
related some further sentences relating to the merits of Imam Ali A.S..
The most common sentence is the following, "Of whomsoever I am
the Master Ali A.S. is his master; may Allah keep friendship with
everyone who keeps friendship with Ali A.S. and bear enmity with
everyone who bears enmity with Ali A.S."."" Seeratun Nabi, p.165-6
295. And thus the analogy with the Hujjatullahs becomes manifestly
clear, for the Holy Prophet (saws) departed this earthly existence in
the manner of the Sun setting, yet as Allah decrees mankind will not
be left aimless and in the dark, guidance to the sirat al mustaqim
continued in the form of the lineage of Twelve Imams, who function
as the enduring Mercy of the Holy Prophet to mankind, reflecting his
light as the Moon reflects the light of the Sun when it sets. And when
one contemplates that in this lineage each Imam was succeeded by
another, one discerns the obvious in the physical world around us, that
which we knew all our lives as muslims, but did not ponder in more
depth - the Moon’s trajectory forms 12 lunar months, one signifying
each Imam and Khalifatullah, each Sign of Allah. And on the Moon
one will find the the name of the First, the direct link to the Holy
Prophet and the reliever of burdens, Ali (as), having his name carved
on its surface, while the guidance of the Twelfth is vouchsafed for by
the fact that the Moon continues to illuminate the Earth as Imam
Mahdi (as) shines his light on the Earth.
And when the Moon is hidden by a cloud, to quote a popular analogy,
it still reflects the light of the Sun it trapped and guides mankind, as
does the Twelfth Imam (as) in his concealment. When on the 14th of
the lunar month the full moon is seen and the Moon is most brilliant,
one realises that it is the 14 infallibles, Mohammad (saws), Fatima
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
(sa) and the 12 Imams, in whose honour the full moon of the 14th
night was created by Allah.

husband, then He revealed to me that I give (you to him in) marriage
and appointed him as my successor."

508. By Him who honored father with Prophet hood, and honored
you with successors ship, we have nothing edible this morning, and
we haven't had any food for two days save that which I have preferred
to give you and our two children, Hassan and Hussain.'

bring some food for you?'
510. Fatima answered: 'Abu Al-Hassan, I surely become ashamed
before my God to ask you to do something you cannot do.'
511. At this, Ali Ibn Abu Talib left Fatima, with full trust that Allah
would help him. He borrowed a dinar, and while he was holding the
dinar and trying to buy some food for his family, he came upon
Miqdad Ibn Al Aswad.
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
512. The sun had burnt Al-Miqdad's face and feet on that
exceptionally hot day. When Ali (A.S.) saw him, he exclaimed
surprisingly: `Miqdad, what brings you out of your home at this hour?'
Miqdad answered: 'Abu Al-Hassan, ask me not about what I have left
behind in the house.'
513. Ali (A.S.) said: `My brother, I cannot leave you without
knowing your problem.' Miqdad then said: 'Abu Al-Hassan, for
Allah's sake and your sake leave me alone, and do not ask about my
condition!!'
514. Imam Ali said: `My brother, you should not hide your condition
from me.' Miqdad replied: 'Abu Al-Hassan, now that you insist, by
Him who honored Muhammad with Prophethood and honored you
with successorship, nothing forced me out of my house save poverty. I
left my children starving; when I heard their cries, there remained no
place for me on earth-I have come out of my house in depression; this
is my story.'
515. Imam Ali (A.S.) cried when he heard the story; he cried until
his beard was wet from tears and said: `By Allah, that which forced
you out of your house and also forced me out of my house; I borrowed
a dinar, but I prefer you to have it.'
516. When Imam Ali (A.S.) had given the dinar to Miqdad, he went
to the Mosque and performed his Zhuhar (noon), Asr (afternoon) and
Maghrib (evening) prayers.
517. When the Messenger of Allah had completed his prayers, he
signaled Ali, who was in the first line, to follow him. Ali (A.S.)
obediently followed him out of the Mosque and after the Prophet
greeted him said:
518. 'Abu Al-Hassan, do you have some food for dinner so that I can
accompany you?'
519. Imam Ali was too shy to answer the Messenger; but the Prophet
of Allah (P.B.U.H.) had detailed knowledge about the dinar and what
had happened to it; for Allah, the Exalted, had revealed to His Prophet
to have dinner at Ali's house that night.
520. When Ali did not answer, the Prophet said: 'Abu Al-Hassan,
why don't you say no, so I may leave you; or yes, so I may accompany
you?'
521. Imam Ali (A.S.) said: 'Accompany me!!'
522. The Prophet then took Ali's hand and proceeded toward
Fatima's house.

524. When she heard the Prophet coming, who was the dearest
person to her, she greeted him and he wiped his hand on her head and
said:
525. `How is your evening, my daughter? She answered: `Fine!'
526. He then said: `Give us some dinner, may Allah bless you, and
surely He has.'
527. Fatima (A.S.) placed the pan in front of the Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
and Ali Ibn Abu Talib...
528. At that moment, the Messenger of Allah put his hand on Ali's
shoulder and said: 'Ali, this is a substitute for your dinar. This is a
reward from Allah for the dinar; surely Allah grants whoever He wills
without limit.'
529. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) cried and said: "Praise be to Allah,
Who insisted on rewarding you in this world, too, and made you Ali-
like Zakariya and Fatima like Maryam Bint Imran, for whenever
Zakariya entered the Mehrab, he found Maryam with her subsistence."
530. You know what my relations with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)
were. From the very beginning of my life, he loved me and I loved
him.
531. He took me in his lap
532. when I was a baby and thence I was always with him.
533. He often kept me embraced to his heart.
534. He used to lay me next to him.
535. We used to be so close to each other that I felt the warmth of
his body and smelled the fragrance of his odor.
536. When I was a baby, he fed me with his hands,
537. Often chewing hard bits for me.
538. He never found me lying nor weak and wavering.
539. From the time of his (the Prophet (s.a.w.)) infancy, Allah had
appointed the greatest of His angels to always be with him,
540. And His Arch Angel was leading him towards exemplary
qualities and high moral values,
541. And I followed him (s.a.w.) step by step as a baby camel
follows its mother.
542. Daily he used to place before me a fresh standard of efficiency
and used to order me . to follow it.
543. Every year he used to stay in a grotto of the Hara' for some
time,
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
566. "Poor you!" said Ibn al-Kawwa', "He cut off your hand, and you
extol him thus! "
567. Why should I not extol him", he said, "now that his friendship
is mixed with flesh and blood?
568. I swear by God that he did not cut off my hand except with a
right that God has established."
569. "Surely Ali is the most beloved of all men and the most
precious to me. Therefore, recognize his rights, and pay tribute to
him."
570. "The most beloved of all men to me is Ali."
571. "Ali is the best of those whom I leave behind me (after death)."
572. "The best of your men is Ali Ibn Abu Talib, and the best of
your women is Fatima Bint Muhammad."
573. We, (the members) of the house (Ahl al-bayt) have seven
qualities none of which the (rest of the) people have; From us (came)
the Prophet may God bless him and his family ; From us came the
trustee of authority (wasi),the best of this community after him (i.e.
Prophet) ,'Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be on him , From us came Hamza,
the lion of God and of His Apostle ,and the lord of martyrs; From us
came Ja'far b. Abi Talib who is adorned by two wings with which he
flies in heaven wherever he wishes; From us (came) the two
grandsons of this community, the two lords of the youth of paradise,
al-Hasan and al-Husayn; From us (came) the (one who will undertake
the Imamate for the rest of time) Qa'im of the family of Muhammad,
by which God graced His Prophet; From us (came) the one who was
given (final) victory (al-mansur).
574. The Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, spoke
to 'Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be on him: "'Ali, you will be engaged in
disputes but you will overcome any dispute by seven qualities, the like
of which no one else has:
575. You are the first of those who believed with me,
576. The greatest of them in war,
577. The most knowledgeable of them in the battles (ayyam) on
behalf of God,
578. The one of them who is most loyal in keeping the covenant
(Uhad) of God,
579. The most compassionate of them towards subjects,
580. The most capable of giving equal treatment and the greatest of
them in distinction before God."
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
581. The Prophet said to Ali: "Do you possess anything (which you
can pay for the dowry) to marry Fatima'?"
582. Imam Ali answered: "May my parents be your sacrifice! By
Allah, there is not a thing of my affairs hidden from you; I own my
sword, shield and the camel which I use for irrigation!!"
583. Indeed, this was everything that Ali possessed in this world
when he was about to get married!!
584. The Messenger openheartedly listened to Ali and said: "Ali,
you cannot do without your sword, for you have to struggle with it
and defend yourself against the enemies of Allah. As for your camel,
you need it to irrigate palm trees and support your family, and you
need it as a means of travel But I accept the shield as a dowry from
you; thus, sell it and bring me the money!!"
585. Ali had won this shield from the booty of the battle of Badr. It
was given to him by the Messenger, who named it Al-Hademah;
because it destroyed all the swords which stuck it. The Commander of
the Faithful (a.s) sold the shield for 480 or 500 dirhams and brought
the money to the Prophet (p.b.u.h).
586. They both agreed that this money would be the dowry of the
most honorable girl and most exalted female of the universe.
587. Yes, Fatima was the Mistress of the women of the world, and
the daughter of the Master of Prophets and Messengers, who was the
best of Allah's creatures. Yet, he (p.b.u.h) gave his daughter in
marriage in return for such a modest dowry in order to teach other
Muslim girls not to refrain from marriage because of modest dowries.
There are many other lessons which we can learn from Fatima's
marriage, but this is not the place to mention them.
588. Reported that Jabir Ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with
him) said: "Um Ayman came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) crying; the
Prophet asked her why she was crying? She replied: 'A man from the
Ansar just informed me that his daughter has just been married, and
that sprinkled sweets and almonds on her.
589. Thus, this reminded me that when Fatima married Ali, you did
not sprinkle anything on her.'
590. There-upon the Prophet said: "By Allah Who sent me with
honor, and gifted me with the Messenger ship; when Allah gave
Fatima to Ali in marriage,
591. He ordered the nearest angels to surround the Throne-including
Gabriel, Michael and Israfil. He also commanded birds to sing and
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
ordered the tree of Tuba to sprinkle them with fresh pearls, white
gems, green chrysolites and red rubies.'
592. According to another tradition, he (p.b.u.h) said: "The marriage
took place near the Lotus tree in the seventh Heaven, on the night of
Ascension. (On that occasion) Allah revealed to the tree: Sprinkle all
that you bear on them.' So it sprinkled them with gems, jewe1ry and
corals."
593. Then Allah commanded the Tree of Paradise to bear gems and
jewelry; He then ordered it to sprinkle them over the angels. So
whoever received more than the others on that day, will be proud of it
until the Day of Resurrection."
594. The Prophet (P.b.u.h) ordered Ali (a.s) to hold a dinner because
Allah, the Exalted, is pleased with those who do so; for the social
good it does-such as bringing people together and implementing love
and harmony among them.
595. It is noteworthy that Lady Fatima Zahra (a.s) excelled in giving
on the path of Allah; she possessed generosity that no other woman
can claim to be equal to.
596. The Hashemit men, Abdul Muttalib's daughters, and Muhajerin
and Ansar s women all accompanied Fatima's caravan that night. The
Prophet's wives joyfully led the caravan; they were also the first to
enter the house.Upon arriving, the
597. Prophet (p.b.u.h) placed Fatima's hand in Ali's hand and said:
May Allah bless his Messenger's daughter;
598. Ali, this is Fatima, you are responsible for her (or I entrust her
to you)
599. Ali what an excellent wife Fatima is!!
600. Fatima, what an excellent husband Ali is!!
601. O Allah, bless them, bless their lives, and bless their children.
602. O Allah, surely they are the most beloved to me from among
your creatures,
603. So love them too, and assign for them a guardian.
604. I place them and their progeny under Your protection from the
curse devil.'
605. Imam Ali (a.s) finally approached the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and
asked for Fatima's hand in marriage. The Messenger, who has
absolute guardianship over all Muslim men and women, including his
daughter, would not announce his agreement to the marriage without
Fatima's consent. By this action, he (p.b.u.h) made it clear that it is
inevitable to obtain the daughter's permission for marriage, because
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
she is the one who is to live with the man and share his life. Indeed,
giving a girl in marriage to someone without her prior approval or
permission is a clear violation of her honor, degradation of her
personality, disruption of her soul and a practical declaration to her
that she is like an animal who can be sold or given as a gift to anyone
without the right to state her opinion.
606. Abdullah-bin-Masood said he asked the prophet who should
bathe him after his death. He replied, My successor Ali.
607. The Prophet (s) said, “Fatima is more beloved to me than you,
oh Ali, and you are dearer to me than her.”
608. Ahdullah then asked how long Ali would survive him. He
answered, Thirty years, the same period that Yoosha-bin-Noon, the
successor of Moosa, survived that prophet. Safrau, the daughter of
Shuayb, who had been the wife of Moosâ, fought Yooshâ, and
declared herself more worthy of the khalâfat than him; but Yooshâ
defeated her army with great slaughter and took her prisoner, yet
treated her with much consideration. Verily, the daughter of Abu Bakr
will fight Ali with many thousands of unmanly people of my sect. My
will slay most of her people, take her prisoner and treat her well.
609. The Prophet (s) said, "The verse of purification was revealed
concerning five people: myself, Ali, Hassan, Hussein, and Fatima.
610. When Fatimah come of age, there come forward a number of
aspirants to ask for her hand in marriage. The Holy prophet was
awaiting the Divine order in this respect, till Imam Ali a.s approached
him and asked for her hand in marriage. The Holy Prophet s.a.w come
to Hazrat Fatima a.s and asked, " My daughter ! Do you consent to be
wedded to ` Ali, as I am so commanded by Allah ? " Hazrat Fatima a.s
thereupon bowed her head in modesty. Umm Salamah narrates: " The
face of Hazrat Fatima a.s bloomed with joy and her silence was so
suggestive and conspicuous that the Holy Prophet stood up reciting `
Allahu Akbar' ( Allah is most great ) .
611. Fatimah's silence is her acceptance." On Friday, l st. dhi'l -
hijjah 2 A H , the marriage ceremony took place. All the Muhajirun
( Emigrants) and Ansar ( Helpers) of Medina assembled in the
mosque while Imam ` Ali was seated before the Holy Prophet with all
the ceremonious modesty of a bridegroom. they Holy Prophet first
recited an eloquent sermon and them announced:
612. I have been commanded by Allah to get Fatimah wedded to `
Ali, and so I do hereby solemnize the matrimony between ` Ali and
Fatimah on a dower of four hundred mithqal of silver.
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
613. Then he asked Imam ` Ali, " Do you consent to it, O `Ali ? "
Yes, I do ,
614. O Holy Prophet of Allah! " replied Imam ` Ali. Then the Holy
Prophet raised his hands to pray thus O my god ! bless both of them ,
sanctify their progeny and grant them the keys of The beneficence,
Thy treasures of wisdom and Thy genius; and let them be a source of
blessing and peace to my ummah.
615. The Holy Prophet said, " Fatimah is a peace of my heart". He
would go out to receive his doughtier whenever she come from her
husband's house. Every morning on his way to the Mosque, he would
pass by Fatimah's house and say: " as-salamu ` alaykum ya ahlul-
Bayti`n-nubuwwah wa ma` dani ` r - risala " ( peace be on you O the
Household of prophet hood and the source of Messengership) Fatimah
is famous and acknowledged as the " sayyidatu 'n-nisa'i ' l-alamin "
( Leader of all the women of the world for all times ) because the
Prophethood of Muhammad would not have been everlasting without
her.
616. The Prophet (s) said, "Verily, God married Ali to Fatima."
617. The Prophet (s) said, "The first people to enter Paradise will be
Ali and Fatima.
618. And, does claiming that the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) paid little
attention to Ali consist with the Quranic declaration that he (Ali
(A.S.)) is the same as the Prophet's self?!
619. Or that it (Quran) made the reward for the divine message the
love of Ali (A.S.)?...
620. Or with that which was narrated in the story of the roasted bird-
which is mentioned in the Sahihs and Musnads-when the Prophet
said: "O Allah, bring the most beloved creature to You so that he may
eat with me."
621. Ali is the best of mankind, and he who denies (this) is an
infidel."
622. "He who does not say that Ali is the best of mankind is surely
an infidel."
623. And in Banner's narration where it has been unanimously
agreed that he (P.B.U.H.) said: "Tomorrow I will hand over the
banner to a man whom Allah and His Messenger love, and who loves
Allah and His Messenger."
624. Ali said: "I was the first one to accept Islam at the hands of the
Holy Prophet."
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
him more than I do. Surely Allah made every Prophet's progeny
proceed from him, and made my progeny proceed from this one."
634. "Allah's Messenger said: 'As for you Ali, you are my son-in-law
and the father of my offspring; you are from me and I am from you.'
635. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) chose Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain to
represent his sons, Fatima for "women," and himself and Ali (A.S.)
for "ourselves."
636. 'And Allah only wished to remove all abomination from you, ye
members of the Family and to make you pure and spotless," Quran .
that the Messenger of Allah gathered Ali, Fatima, Al-Hassan and Al-
Hussain under a cloak and said: "These are my Ahlul-Bayt (i.e.,
Family), O Allah; remove all abominations from them and make them
pure and spotless "
637. Zamakhshari in Al-Kashaf, v.1, p. 193 narrated on the account
of Aisha, that Allah's Messenger came out wearing an embroidered,
ornamented cloak of woven black hair, when Al-Hassan Ibn Ali came
to him and went under it; then Al-Hussain followed him, then Fatima,
then Ali. At that moment (P.B.U.H.) quoted the verse:
"And Allah only wished to remove all abominations from you, ye
Members of the Family, and to make you pure and spotless."
638. When he (the Prophet) came out wearing the black cloak, and
A1 Hassan came under it and Al-Hussain, and Fatima and Ali the
Prophet said: 'And Allah only wishes......"
639. "When the verse And Allah only wishes...' was revealed to the
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) he had gathered Fatima, Hassan and Hussain
under his cloak, while Ali was behind him, and said: `This is my
family, therefore, remove all abomination from them, and make them
pure and spotless.' Umme Salama said: Am I one of them, Messenger
of Allah?' He said: 'You will be in good condition."
640. I wrote to Imam Sadiq (A.S.) and asked him:
"Did the Commander of the Faithful perform ablution (Ghusl) after
abluting the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) upon his death?" His
answer was: "The Prophet was pure and safeguarded all impurities;
yet the Commander of the Faithful Ali (A.S.) did so and this became a
customary practice (Sunnah)."
641. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) in reply to Ali said: "Ah, many men
have asked before you and she has rejected them-her resentment to
marry them was clear on her face. Yet, wait until I bring you the
answer."
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
642. Prophet only said to her: "Fatima, you know Ali Ibn Abu
Talib's relationship to us, his devotion and faithfulness to Islam. I
asked Allah to give you in marriage to the best of His creatures, and
the most beloved to Him; and he (Ali) has declared his wish to marry
you; what do you say?"
Fatima did not reply, nor did she show a sign of rejection or
resentment, so he (P.B.U.H.) stood up and said: "Allah is the Greatest!
Her silence is her approval."
643. The Prophet said to Ali: "Do you possess anything (which you
can pay for the dowry) to marry Fatima?' Imam Ali answered: "May
my parents be your sacrifice By Allah, there is not a thing of my
affairs hidden from you; I own my sword, shield and the camel which
1 use for irrigation"
644. The Messenger openheartedly listened to Ali and said: "Ali you
cannot do without your sword, for you have to struggle with it and
defend yourself against the enemies of Allah. As for your camel you
need it to irrigate palm trees and support your family, and you need it
as a means of travel. But I accept the shield as a dowry from you;
thus, sell it and bring me the money."
645. "Surely you have taken a lowly dowry for Fatima from Ali."
646. The Prophet replied: "It was not I who gave (Fatima to) Ali in
marriage, rather Allah did so on the night of ascension near the Lotus
tree (in the seventh Heaven)..."
647. He then added: "Verily I am a man just like you, I marry (from)
your women and give you my (marriageable) women in marriage,
save Fatima, for her marriage was revealed in Heaven."
648. Umme Salama said: "May our parents be your sacrifice, O
Messenger of Allah!! Surely everything you have praised Khadija for
is true, but she departed to her Lord! May He bring happiness to her
and gather us with her in the Paradise of His satisfaction and Mercy.
Messenger of Allah! Your brother from among the people of the
world who is also your cousin, Ali Ibn Abu Talib, wished that you
specify a day for the wedding so that he may be united with his wife
Fatima." The Prophet answered: "Why doesn't Ali ask me to do so?"
She replied: "Shyness prevents him!'
649. He said: "Umme Ayman, go call Ali for me." When Umme
Ayman came out, she found Ali (A.S.) waiting for the answer. Upon
her request he, entered the house and shyly sat near the Prophet who
said to him: "Do you wish to be wedded to your wife?" Ali replied:
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
"Alright, it is to your honor!! If you wish, the wedding can take place
tonight or tomorrow night, if Allah wills."
650. The Prophet said: "So prepare a house for Fatima." Ali then
said: "The only house I can acquire is Harithah Ibn al-Numan's." The
Prophet said: "Surely we are shy for Harithah Ibn al-Numan, for we
have taken the majority of his houses!"'
651. Jabir said: "We were present at Fatima and Ali's (may Allah be
pleased with them) wedding ceremony, and indeed we have not seen
any ceremony better than that one..."
652. Sheikh Majlisi (may Allah bless his soul) reported on the
authority of Anas Ibn Malik that Buraidah said: "Allah's Messenger
read the verse: "In houses, which Allah hath permitted to be raised to
honor; for the celebration in the, of His name: In them is He glorified
in the mornings and in the evenings." (5: 36) A man then exclaimed:
"Whose houses are these, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet
(P.B.U.H.) answered: "Prophet's houses." Abu Bakr said: "Messenger
of Allah, is this one of these houses (He meant Fatima's house)?" The
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) replied: "Yes, it is among the best of them!!"
653. Ibn Abbas also said: "I was in the Prophet's mosque when
someone read: `In houses which Allah hath permitted to be raised in
honor;...' So I said: `Messenger of Allah; which houses?' He said:
`Prophet's houses;' and pointed to Fatima's house."
654. (Say) O Muhammad, to your nation: (no reward do I ask of you
for this) the message of Islam (except the love of those near of kin) to
me. (i.e.) Ahlul-Bayt (A.S.). When this verse was revealed, someone
said: "Messenger of Allah, who are the kin whose love is obligatory
for us?" The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) replied: "Ali, Fatima, and her two
children."
655. Allah the Exalted has said: "Verily the Good shall drink of a
Cup (of wine) mixed with Kafur. A fountain where the Devotees of
God do drink, making it flow in unstinted abundance. They perform
(their) vows, and they fear a Day whose evil lies far and wide. And
they feed, for the love of God, the indigent, the orphan and the
captive. Saying, `We feed you for the sake of God alone; no reward
do we desire from you, nor thanks.' `We only fear a Day of distressful
Wrath from the side of our Lord.' But God will deliver them from the
evil of that day, and will shed over them a light of Beauty and a
(blissful) Joy. And because they were patient and constant, He will
reward them with a Garden and (garment of) silk. Reclining in the
(Garden) on raised thrones, they will see there neither the sun's
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
(excessive heat) nor (the moon's) excessive cold. And the shades of
the (Garden) will come low over them, and the bunches (of fruit),
there, will hang low in humility. And amongst them will be passed
round vessels of silver and goblets of crystal; Crystal clear, made of
silver. They will determine the measure thereof (According to their
wishes). And they will be given to drink there of a Cup (of wine)
mixed with Zanjabil. A fountain there, called Salsabil. And around
about them will (serve) youths of perpetual (freshness): if thou seest
them, thou wouldst think them scattered Pearls. And when thou
lookest, It is there thou wilt see a Bliss and a Realm Magnificent.
Upon them will be green garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and
they will be adorned with Bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give
to them to drink of a Wine pure and Holy. Verily this is a Reward for
you, and your Endeavor is accepted and recognized." (76: 5-22)
These verses were revealed after Ali, Fatima, Hassan, and Hussain
(A.S.) gave charity to needy people; this story is stated in the book Al-
Kashaf by Zamakhshari; it goes as follows:
656. "Ibn Abbas said: `Once Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain (A.S.) were
ill, the Messenger of Allah and a group went to visit them. The
visitors suggested to Imam Ali (A.S.) to make a vow to Allah: if He
were to relieve them, he would perform some good action. Therefore,
Imam Ali together with Fatima and their servant Fidhdha vowed to
Allah that they would fast for three days if He would relieve Hassan
and Hussain.'
657. 'When Allah had relieved them, Imam Ali (A.S.) borrowed
three (3) aswu (a cubic measure) of barley from a Jew known as
Shimon. Fatima ground one (1) sa'a (singular of aswu) of the barley
and baked five loaves of bread for her family's meal at sunset. As
sunset approached, a needy man knocked on the door and said:
Assalamu Alaikum, Family of Muhammad. I am a needy man from
among the Muslims, feed me, may Allah feed you from the food of
Paradise.' The holy family preferred the needy man over themselves
and spent the night with nothing in their stomachs save water.'
658. 'They fasted the second day, and again at sunset, when they
were waiting for their food, an orphan asked them for help and they
again preferred him over themselves. The third evening a captive
(prisoner of war) asked them for help and they repeated their
preference for the needy above themselves.'
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
659. 'The following morning, Imam Ali (A.S.) took Al-Hassan and
Al-Hussain to the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H.) who said the
following when he saw them shaking like little chicks from hunger:
660. "The Prophet said: It displeases us to see you in this condition.'
Then he went with them, for he wanted to see Fatima. When they
arrived, Fatima (A.S.) was in the Mehrab (prayer place), and her
condition was such that it further displeased the Prophet (P.B.U.H.).
At this time, Gabriel descended and said: `
661. Take this chapter Muhammad, - Allah surely congratulates you
for having this family. " It is worthy to state that the Good ones
mentioned here are Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hussain; who deserve
Paradise because of their act of feeding the needy, the orphan, and the
captive.
662. Another point to keep in mind here is that despite the detailed
description of Paradise given in the verses, Allah, the Exalted, does
not mention the huris. This understood to be in honor and exaltation
of Fatima (A.S.) the wife of Imam Ali, and the mother of Hassan and
Hussain.
663. Allah, the Exalted said: "If anyone disputes in this matter with
thee, now after (full) knowledge hath come to thee, say: `Come! Let
us gather together; our sons arid your sons, our women and your
women, ourselves and yourselves. Then let us invoke the curse of God
on those who lie!'" (3: 61)
This event is famous and is known to all Muslims. Islamic scholars
are united on the fact that it was revealed in regard to the Christian
delegation who came from Najran to dispute the issue of Isa Ibn
Maryam (A.S.) with the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). In v.6 of Bihar, Imam Ali
(A.S.) mentioned the event in the following manner: A delegation of
Najrani Christians led by three prominent men, Al-Aqib, Muhsen, and
the Archbishop; these meet along with two prominent jews came to
the Prophet (P.B.U.H.). They intended to argue with him; the
archbishop started: "Abu Al-Qasim, who was Musa's father?" The
Prophet answered: "Imran." The archbishop then said: "Who was
Yusufs father?" The Prophet answered: "Yaqoub." The archbishop
continued: "May I be your sacrifice; who is your father?" The Prophet
answered: "Abdullah Ibn Abd al-Muttalib." Then the archbishop
asked: "Who is Isa's (Jesus) father?" The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) waited a
moment while Gabriel revealed the following to him: "(Say) he was
the Spirit of Allah and His Word."
The archbishop then asked: "Can he be a spirit without having a

By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
called Fatima alone to join him, because she was the only woman
capable of fulfilling the qualifications of the verse.
667. The Prophet (P.B.U.H.) then said to Ali: "Come near me."
668. Ali came near as the Prophet asked; he then held Fatima's hand
and put it on his chest for a long time, and held Ali's hand in his other
hand.
669. When the Prophet tried to speak, he was overtaken by tears and
was unable to do so. Therefore, Ali, Fatima, Al-Hassan and Al-
Hussain cried when they saw him (P.B.U.H.) crying.
670. Fatima then said: "Messenger of Allah! You have broken my
heart and brought sorrow to me with your crying. You are the Master
of all Prophets and the trusted Prophet of your Lord; you are the
beloved Prophet of Allah! Who do I have for my children after you?
Who do I have to protect me from the humiliation, which will inflict
me after you?
671. Who does Ali, your brother and the helper of your religion,
have after you? Who is to (attend to) Allah's revelation and affair?"
Fatima then broke down crying and embraced him together with Ali,
Hassan and Hussain (A.S.).
672. The Prophet raised his head, and while holding Fatima's hand,
he placed it in Ali's hand and said:
673. Abu Al-Hassan, she is Allah's and His Messenger's,
Muhammad, trust to you. Therefore, keep Allah's and His Messenger's
trust by protecting her. Surely I know you will.'
674. 'Ali, this (Fatima) by Allah, is the Mistress of all women of
Paradise; this, by Allah, is (like) Maryam al-Kubra.' 'By Allah, before
I reached this state, I asked Allah (certain things) for you and I, and
He surely has given me what I asked.'
675. 'Ali, Execute that which Fatima commands you to do, for I have
commanded her to (perform certain affairs) which Gabriel ordered me
to do.
676. Be informed, Ali that I am satisfied with him who my daughter
is satisfied with, so is my Lord and the angels.
677. Ali, Cursed is he who oppresses her;
678. Cursed is he who usurps her right;
679. Cursed is he who violates her sanctity..."
680. The Prophet then embraced Fatima (A.S.), kissed her hand and
said: "May your father be your sacrifice, Fatima." At that moment, the
Messenger of Allah was putting his head on Ali's chest; but his love
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
for Fatima kept driving him to embrace and kiss her repeatedly. He
cried until his tears made his beard and shirt wet.
681. Imam Hassan and Imam Hussain (A.S.) began crying and
kissing his feet; when Imam Ali (A.S.) tried to separate them, the
Prophet said: "Let them smell me and let me smell them; Let them be
near me, surely they will be afflicted with sorrows and difficult
problems after me. May Allah curse him who abuses them.' O Allah!!
I commend them to your protection and to the protection of the
righteous believers." Meanwhile, Fatima (A.S.) was speaking to her
father with a crying voice and saying: "May my soul be your
sacrifice! May my face prevent harm from your face! Father, can you
not speak a word to me?! Surely I see the knights of death attacking
you fiercely!!" Allah's Messenger then said: "Daughter, I am leaving
you; thus, peace be upon you from me".
682. Ali (P.B.U.H.) said: "I heard the Prophet say: "On the Day of
Rising, a caller shall announce from beyond the veil: "O gathered
people, lower your eyes so that Fatima, the Daughter of Muhammad,
may pass."
683. Ali (A.S.) reported that the Prophet said: "On the Day of
Rising, a caller shall call from the sole of the Throne:
684. "O people of Resurrection, cast your eyes down, so that Fatima
Bint Muhammad may pass-while holding Al-Hussain's shirt, which
will (still) be saturated with blood.' She will then embrace the leg of
the Throne and say:
685. "O (Allah), You are the Omnipotent and Just; pass the judgment
between me and those who killed my son." (The Prophet (P.B.U.H.)
added): "Then He shall judge according to my Sunnah, by the Lord of
Kaaba, Fatima will then say:
686. "O Allah! grant me intercedence for everyone who cried for his
disaster; Allah will then grant her intercedence for them."
687. Jaber Ibn Abdullah Ansari said: "I said to Abu Ja'far (Al-Baqir
(A.S.)): `May I be your sacrifice son of Allah's Messenger; narrate to
me a hadith in regard to the noble traits of your grandmother Fatima,
so that if I report it to your Shiites (followers), they would rejoice at
(hearing) it!' Abu Ja'far (A.S.) said: `My father told me that my
grandfather reported that Allah's Messenger said: "On the Day of
Rising, Minbars of light shall be erected for the prophets and
messengers, of which my Minbar shall be the highest among all
Minbars on that day. Allah will then say: Deliver a speech,' so I will
deliver a speech that none of the prophets or messengers have ever
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
heard. Then for the successors (of prophets) shall be erected Minbars
of light, and in the middle of these Minbars one shall be erected for
my successor, Ali Ibn Abu Talib, which will be higher than all their
Minbars. Allah will then say:
688. "Ali, deliver a speech.' So he will deliver a speech like no
successor has ever heard before. Then for the children of the prophets
and messengers shall be erected Minbars of light; among them shall
be a Minber of light for my two sons, grandsons and the two flowers
of my life (Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain). Then it shall be said to them:
"Deliver speeches." So they will deliver two speeches like none of the
children of the prophets and messengers have ever heard before!
689. "A caller-Gabriel-shall then call: `Where is Fatima Bint
Muhammad?' She (A.S.) will rise..." (until he said): 'Allah, the blessed
and exalted is His Name, shall say: `O people of the gathering; to
whom does honor belong today?' So Muhammad, Ali, Hassan and Al-
Hussain (A.S.) will say: 'To Allah, The one, The Almighty 'Allah the
Exalted will say: "O people of the gathering: lower your heads and
cast your eyes down, for this is Fatima proceeding towards Paradise.'
Gabriel shall then bring her a female camel from the female camels of
Paradise; its sides shall be embellished, its muzzle with fresh pearls,
and it shall have a saddle of coral. It shall kneel down in her presence;
so she will ride it. Allah will then send 100, 000 angels to accompany
her on her right side; and 100, 000 angels to accompany her on her
left side; and 100, 000 angels to lift her onto their wings until they
bring her to the gate of Paradise. When she is near the gate of
Paradise, she will look to her side. Allah will then say: "Daughter of
My beloved, why did you look to your side after I gave the command
that you enter my Paradise?"
690. She will say: "My Lord, I wished that my position would be
realized on such a Day!" Allah will say:
691. "Daughter of My beloved! Go back and look for everyone in
whose heart was love for you or for any of your progeny; take their
hand and lead them into paradise!"
692. Abu Ja'far (A.S.) said: "By Allah; Jabir, she will pick her
Shiites (followers) and those who love her just like a bird picks good
seeds from bad seeds. So that when her Shiites are near the gate of
Paradise, Allah will inspire their hearts to look to their sides; when
they do--- Allah, The Almighty, will say:
693. My beloved ones, why did you look around when Fatima, the
daughter of my beloved one, interceded for you?' They will answer:
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
it will be said to him: "You did so and so on such and such a day."
And he will go on confessing, while apprehensive of his big sins.
Then it will be said: "Give him a good deed in place of every bad
deed." Then he will say: "I had done some which I do not see-
(mentioned) here. "Abu Dhar said: 'And I saw the Messenger of Allah
laughing until his teeth were shown." (Muslim)

760. The famous exegist Suyuti in his renowned commentary Our al-
Manthur' cites Tabarani's narration from Umm Salama that the
Prophet once told his beloved daughter Fatima to call her husband Ali
and their two sons Hasan and Husain. When they came, the Prophet
covered them with a Fadak (a place near Madinah) cloak and puffing
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
his hand on them, said: 0 Allah! these are the ahl of Muhammad
(another version says aal i.e. family), so, shower your blessings and
favours on aal Muhammad as you showered them on aal Abraham;
You are the Praiseworthy, the Glorious.. Umm Salama said that she
raised the cloak to join them, but the Prophet pulled it out of her hand
and said: You are (also) on the right'.
761. Holy Our'an (33:33) All exegists of the Holy Qur'an and
narrators of the Prophet's traditions, unanimously agree that the word
Ahlul-Bait, or the Household of the Prophet as used by Almighty
Allah in the Qur'an, refers only to four persons: The Prophet's
daughter Fatima (a.s.), her husband Ali (a.s.) and their two children
Hasan (a.s.) and Husain (a.s.).
762. Another narration from Umm Salama says that once the
Prophet was in her house lying on a mattress, covered with a cloak
from Khaibar when his beloved daughter Fatima (a.s.) entered with a
dish called aI-Khazira (a kind of food). The Prophet asked her to call
her husband (Ali) and her two sons, Hasan and Husain. She called
them and as they all sat together to eat, Allah revealed the following
verse to the Prophet. "...Allah desires to keep away uncleanness from
you, o' people of the House and make you pure as pure can be . Holy
Qur'an (33:33)
763. Upon this the Prophet covered them all with his cloak and
lifting his hands towards the sky said: "0 Allah! this is my family and
the nearest of my kin, keep away from them uncleanness and keep
them pure as pure can be'. Umm Salama adds that thrice the Prophet
repeated these words and when she poked her head under the cloak
and asked him Am I with you? In a refraining gesture, he said twice:
"You are (also) among the righteous.
764. On many an occasion the Prophet explained the meaning of this
verse to the Muslims and drew their attention to its significance. Abi
Sa'id Khidri quotes the Prophet as saying: "This verse was revealed
concerning five persons): Myself, All, Fatima, Hasan and Husain. "…
Allah desires to keep away uncleanness from you, people of the
House and make you pure as pure can be." Holy Qur'an (33:33)

783. Zamakhshari says in his book ~Al-Kashshaf: That (when this
verse was revealed) the Prophet asked the Christians to a Muhahala
(malediction) to invoke the curse of Allah on the liars. The Christians
held a discourse among themselves that night. in which their leader
Abdul Massih stated his views as follows: "By God, 0 Christians, you
know that Muhammad is a God-sent Prophet, who has brought to you
the final message from your Lord. By God, no nation ever dared to
challenge a Prophet for malediction, but woe befell them. Not only
will they perish but their children will also be afflicted with the curse'.
Saying that it is better to reach a compromise with the Prophet. rather
than challenge his truth and perish, Abdul Massih advised his party to
stop hostilities and retain their religion, by submitting to the Prophet's
terms. "So if you persist (for a confrontation), we will all perish. But
if you want to keep your faith you should refuse (to have a
showdown) and remain as you are. Therefore make peace with the
man (the Prophet) and return to your land .
784. Jalaluddin Suyuti relates that the Prophet's elder grandson
Imam Hasan ibn Ali (a.s.) said in one of his sermons: "I am of the
Ahlul-Bait' whose love Allah has made obligatory for every Muslim .
785. Muhibuddin Tabari in his book Dhakhai'r aI-Uqba fi Manaqib
Dhawi aI-Ourba' quoting Ibn Abbas, the Prophet's cousin and
companion says: "On the revelation of ayat al-Ma wadda people asked
the Prophet as to who were his relatives whom they were required to
love. The Prophet replied: Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain. (This is
also stated by Ahmad in al-Manaqib').
786. "But whoever disputes with you (0' Muhammad) in this matter
after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call
our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our
selves (anfus) (*) and yourselves, then let us beseech Allah and
invoke His curse upon the liars." Holy Qur'an (3:6 1) (*) There is no
English equivalent for the Arabic word nafs which is the singular
form of anfus, the nearest meaning of which is like oneself or nearest
and dearest of people. Early the next morning on the 24th of the lunar
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
790. The Prophet told them: "If you refuse to hold (Mubahala), then
submit, (accept Islam) and you will receive what the Muslims receive,
and contribute what the Muslims contribute. ".
791. Continuing his comments on the Mubahala verse', Zamakhshari
lays emphasis on the position of the Ahlul-Bait by quoting the
following narration from the Prophet's wife Aa'isha: He mentioned
them Ahlul-Bait before mentioning the word selves' in order to
highlight their position and their proximity (to Allah), and to stress
their preference to selves', which could be sacrificed for them.. .
792. There is no stronger evidence than this regarding the merits of
the Ahl a1-Kisa` (Ahl al-Kisa is a term denoting those who gathered
with the Prophet under his Kisa (cloak) whereupon the verse of purity
was revealed: They are Ali, Fatima, Hasan, and Husain, as had been
already discussed earlier.). It is the proof of the truthfulness of the
Prophet's mission, because nobody however biased has narrated that
they (the Christians) dared to accept that (the challenge for Mubahala)
793. Allama Muhammad Husain Tabataba'i, the renowned modern
day exegist, in his monumental commentary on the Holy Qur'an,
Tafsir al-Mizan', referring to the verse those through whom Allah has
cursed their enemies', says that these are none other than the
Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain. He
adds ...this narration has been related by all traditionists and recorded
by all compilers (of traditions) in their collections, such as Muslim in
his Sahih' and Tirmidhi in his Sahih', besides historians have
confirmed it as welt.
794. But by taking along only these four and no one else besides the
Prophet was showing the Muslims, that the best example for women is
Fatima and the best example for boys are Hasan and Husain,
according to the Qur'an's wordings, which also delicately used the
word our selves for Ali, thereby pointing to his close proximity with
the Prophet, and solving the question of succession once and for all.
795. "Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; 0 you who
believe! call for (divine) blessings on him and salute him with a
(becoming) salutation. Holy Qur'an (33:56) In this verse, the Muslims
are ordered here to send blessings on the Prophet and his aal
(progeny), a term exclusively reserved for Ali, Fatima, Hasan and
Husain and their righteous descendants. The emphasis on the
Prophet's aal in salutations is yet another indication of their pivotol
position after the Prophet. By asking the Muslims to exalt them, Allah
Ali al Murtaza
By jamal nasir 092-042-03004205754
their lives in idolatry and sin. Therefore to ensure the safety of Islam
and Muslims, Allah sent down this verse, appointing Imam Ali as the
Prophet's vicegerent. Narrators and historians have testified to that
great event. After performing the farewell pilgrimage, as the Seal of
the Prophets was heading towards Madina, the Archangel Gabriel
suddenly appeared, at a place where the routes parted for the different
parts of Arabia. Learning the Almighty's command, the Prophet at
once stopped at the pool Ghadir of Khum, and ordered all those who
had gone ahead, and those that lagged behind to hasten to his station.
When the great gathering of companions was assembled in the midday
sun, the Prophet said he had a most important message to deliver. A
pulpit made of camel saddles was hastily set-up. Ascending it, he
delivered a sermon asking the people to be witness that he had
faithfully performed the task of prophet- hood entrusted to him by the
Almighty. The multitude cried in one voice: "We bear witness 0
Messenger of Allah. He asked, who in their opinion was more worthy
of obedience than their souls, to which they replied that Allah and His
Prophet know better. Then he said: "0 people Allah is my Master
(Maula) and I am the master (Maula) of believers."
802. Muhammad (s.a.w.) then bent down and lifting up Ali ibn Abi
Talib (a.s.) in his hands, showed him to the vast crowd and
proclaimed those famous words, which guaranteed the continuation of
divine leadership: "For whomsoever I am master (Ma ala), this All is
his master (Maula)..."
803. "...they fulfil vows and fear .a day the evil of which shall be
spreading far and wide. And they give food out of love for Him to the
poor and the orphan and the captive: We only feed you for Allah's
sake; we desire from you neither reward nor thanks: Surely we fear
from our Lord a stern, distressful day. Therefore Allah will guard
them from the evil of that day and cause them to meet with ease and
happiness;... Holy Qur'an (76:7-11) These verses of the Holy Qur'an
speak of the Ahlul-Bait, eulogizing their selflessness and piety. The
historical occasion to which these blessed verses refer was, when Ali,
Fatima and their two sons Hasan and Husain fasted for three
consecutive days, and each day at the time of breaking the fast some
needy person as verse number eight indicates - appeared and the
Ahlul-Bait gladly fed him, and themselves passed the nights without
food. Allah was so pleased by the generosity of the Prophet's
Household that He converted their actions into verses of the Glorious
Qur'an to serve as guidance for the Muslims. These verses not only

806. "0 Muhammad, Allah congratulates you for (the sacrifice of)
your household. Then he recited the (sura). "
807. Another famous scholar Sheikh Fadhl ibn Hasan Tabarsi, in his
Ma] ma' al-Bayan' after citing the same narration, adds: All ibn
Ibrahim' narrates from his father who quotes Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq on
the authority of Abdulla ibn Maimun that Fatima had (some) barley
from which porridge was made and placed before them (for breaking
the fast). Just then a beggar came and said, I am a poor man, may
Allah have mercy upon you. Ali (a.s.) got up and gave him one third
of the food. Then came an orphan and said, Tam an orphan, may
Allah have mercy upon you. Ali (a.s.) got up and gave him another
third (of the food). Then came a prisoner (of war) and said, may Allah
have mercy upon you. Ali gave him the remaining one-third, without,
they, the Ahlul-Bait tasting anything and going without meals.
Thereby Allah the Exalted revealed the said verses. It is clear that this
surah was revealed in Madina, and as a scholar of the stature Abu
Hamza Thamali testifies, the whole sura was revealed in favour of Ali
and Fatima.
808. The Almighty says: .... .you are only a warner, and (there is) a
guide for every people. Holy Qur'an (13:7) It is stated that when this
verse was revealed, the Messenger of Allah placing his hand on his
chest said: "I am the warner, and for every people there is a guide.
Then pointing towards Imam All (a.s.), he said: You are the guide,
All, by you the believers will be guided after me .
809. The Almighty says: "Is he who is a believer like him who is a
transgressor? They are not equal . Holy Qur'an (32:18) All
authoritative books mention that the verse refers to Imam Ali (a.s.), a
believer and describes Walid ibn Uqba.as a transgressor.
810. he Almighty says: "Is he, then (to be counted equal to them)
who was clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him recites...
Holy Qur'an (11:17).
811. Suyuti in Dur al-Manthur', Fakhruddin Razi in al-Tafsir al-
Kabir' and Muttaqi Hindi in Kanz al-Ummal', vol. 1, p. 251, have all
narrated, that the words: "He who has a dear proof, means Prophet
Muhammad (s.a. w.), while "the Witness from Him" means Imam Ali
(a.s.)
