Hadith 33

made it to be in an urn, and the dyer shrieked out. He-as said: ‘There is no problem. I-as shall extract from it like what you want’. These came out like what was wanted. The dyer said, ‘It is not correct that he-as be my student’. And Ali-asws had frustrated Quraysh from its deeds and its words. And Isa-as was ascetic, poor, and the Prophet-saww was asked, ‘Who is most ascetic of the people and their poorest? ’ He-saww said: ‘Ali-asws, my-saww successor-asws, and son-asws of my-saww uncle-as, and my-as brother-asws, and my-saww lion, and my-saww persistent attacker, and my-saww persistent helpers, and my-as lion and lion of Allah-azwj’. And they differed regarding Isa-as. The Yaqoubites (followers of the monk Yaqoub Al-Barza’any) said, ‘He-as is Allah-azwj! ’ And the Nastourites (followers of Nastour Al-Hakeem) said, ‘He-as is a son of Allah-azwj! ’ And the Israelites said, ‘He-as is a third of the three’. And the Jews said, ‘He-as is a lying sorcerer’. And the Muslims said, ‘He-as is a servant of Allah-azwj like what Isa-as said: ‘I am a servant of Allah; [19: 30]. And the community differed regarding Ali-asws. The exaggerators said, ‘He-asws is the worshipped one! ’ And the Kharijites said, ‘He-asws is a Kafir! ’ And the Murjiites said, ‘He-asws is the delayed’. And the Shias said, ‘He-asws is the first’. And the Prophet-saww said: ‘A man will be entering from this door, being the most resembling of the people with Isaas’. Ali-asws entered and they laughed from this word. So, it was Revealed: And when an example is struck for the son of Maryam, then your people are laughing loudly [43: 57] – the Verses. (The book) ‘Musnad’ of Al-Mowsily – The Prophet-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘In you-asws there is an example of Isa Ibn Maryamas. The Jews hated himas to the extent until they slandered hisas motheras, and the Christians loved himas to the extent they accorded himas the status which wasn’t for himas’’. [111]
REGARDING HIS-asws EQUALITY WITH MUHAMMAD-saww
The Prophet-saww, for him-saww is the Book, and for Ali-asws is the sword and the pen. And for the Prophet-saww there are two mighty miracles, Speech of Allah-azwj and sword of Ali-asws; and for the Prophet-saww is splitting of the moon, and for Ali-asws is splitting Al-Nahrwan, and Allah-azwj had Obligated upon entirety of the Prophetsas, the acknowledging with himas: And when Allah Took a Covenant of the Prophets: [3: 81], and Said regarding Ali-asws: And ask ones We Sent [43: 45]. Allah-azwj Made him-saww Imam of the Prophets-as on the night of the ascension (Mi’raj), and Made Ali-asws Imam of the successors-asws on the night of the bed (Emigration), and the day of Al-Ghadeer, and other such places. The Prophet-saww rode upon Al-Buraq, and Ali-asws rode upon the shoulder of the Prophet-saww. And He-azwj Said regarding him-saww: With the Momineen he is kind, merciful [9: 128], and Said regarding Ali-asws: and We Made for them a truthful tongue of Ali [19: 50]. He-azwj Said to the Prophet-saww: For Allah to Forgive you what has preceded from your sins and what is delayed, [48: 2]; and Said for Ali-asws: Therefore, Allah will Protect them for the evil of that Day [76: 11]. And He-azwj Swore by His-azwj Prophet-saww: (I Swear) by the clarity [93: 1] And the night when it covers with darkness [93: 2]; and Swore by Ali-asws: (I Swear) by the dawn [89: 1] And ten nights [89: 2]. He-azwj Named him-saww: (I Swear) by the star when it swoops down [53: 1], and for Ali-asws: And directional signs, and by the star they are being guided [16: 16]. And He-azwj Said regarding him-saww: Or are they envying the people [4: 54], and regarding Ali-asws: And from the people there is one who sells his self, [2: 207]; and Said regarding him-saww: They are recognising the Favour of Allah, then they are denying it, [16: 83], and Said regarding Ali-asws: and Completed My Favour upon you, [5: 3]. And Said regarding him-saww: Allah is Light (Noor) of the skies and the earth. [24: 35], and Ali-asws: They are intending to extinguish the Light (Noor) of Allah with their mouths [61: 8]; And regarding him-saww: And We did not Send you except as a mercy [21: 107], and regarding Ali-asws: Say: ‘By the Grace of Allah and by His Mercy [10: 58]. And He-azwj Said regarding him-saww: a Zikr [65: 10] A Rasool [65: 11], and regarding Ali-asws: and We Sent the Zikr to you [16: 44]; and Said regarding him-saww: upon a man from you, [7: 63], and regarding Ali-asws: Men whom neither trading nor selling diverts them [24: 37].
