Hadith 33

ja who said, ‘I heard Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws saying: ‘I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘O Ali-asws! Your-asws name is in the register of the Prophets–as, those not been Revealed to them–as’’. And Allah-azwj the Exalted Said to rest of the Prophets-as: Surely Allah chose Adam and Noah [3: 33] – the verse, and for Ali-asws in particular: Allah Chooses messengers from among the Angels and from the people; [22: 75]. And Said in the story of Musa-as: And We Prescribed to him in the Tablets, Advice from all things [7: 145], and for a part; and Said in the story of Isa-as: and to clarify for you part of which you are differing in, [43: 63], with part of the wordings; and Said in the story of Ali-asws: and We have Enumerated all things in a clarifying Imam [36: 12]. And Allah-azwj the Exalted Said in the right of the Angels: They fear their Lord from above them [16: 50], and in the right of Ali-asws: Surely, we fear from our Lord [76: 10]. Jibraeel-as asked for the ring, so he-asws gifted it: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, [5: 55]; and Mikaeel-as asked for the food, so he-asws gave it: And they fed the food over its love, [76: 8]; and Al Musatafa-saww asked for the soul, so he-asws sacrificed it: And from the people there is one who sells his self, seeking [2: 207], and Allah-azwj Asked for the secret and the open (spending), so he-asws gave it: Those who are spending their wealth [2: 274] – the Verse. (The book) ‘Firdows of Al Daylami – Jabir, ‘The Prophet-saww said: Allah-azwj the Exalted Boasts with Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws every day to the Angels of Proximity until they were saying, ‘Congratulations! Congratulation! Welcome to you-asws, O Ali-asws! ’’
Jibraeel-as said: ‘I-as from you-asws both, O Muhammad-saww! ’ And the Prophet-saww said: and ourselves and yourselves, [3: 61]; and Jibraeel-as said: ‘And there is none of us except for him is a known place [37: 164]. And the position of Ali-asws is nobler, and it is a shoulder of the Prophet-saww. And Jibraeel-as surpassed the seven skies and seven veils in one moment until he-as arrived to the Prophet-saww from being with the Throne, what could not have been cut across in fifty thousand years. And Ali-asws, the Prophet-saww saw him-asws during his-saww ascension in a lofty place, and Ali-asws was in his-asws place, and the entrustment was with the Prophet-saww like Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as regarding the position and the entrustment with Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.

REGARDING THE INDIVIDUAL (MERITS)
Ali-asws is the first Hashimite to be blessed to two Hashimites, and the first one to be blessed (to parents) in the Kabah, and the first one to believe, and first one to pray Salat, and first one to pledge allegiance, and first one to fight, and first one to learn from the Prophet-saww, and first one of a king, and first one to ride the mule in after the Prophet-saww, and for that are many more, and Ali-asws is brother-asws of the successorsas, and last one to be established brotherhood by the Prophet-saww, and last one to separate him-saww at his-saww death, and last one to lay him-saww down in his-saww grave, and come out. And from the miscellaneous of the world – Harut and Marut among the Angels, and Uzairas among the children of Adamas, and Sarahas giving birth during old age, and Isaas coming into being without a father, and Yahya–as and Isa–as speaking during their childhood, and the Quran among the speech, and bravery of Ali-asws between the people. And from the wonders is the turning of companions of the cave, and donkey of Uzair–as, and calf of Al-Samiri–la, and she-camel of Salih–as, and ram of Ismail–as, and whale of Yunus–as, and Hudhud of Suleyman–as, and his–as ant, crow of Noah–as, and wolf of Aws Bin Ahnan, and sword of Ali-asws. And Allah-azwj has Conferred upon the Momineen with three – With Himself-azwj: They think they are conferring a favour upon you if they become Muslims. [49: 17]; and with the Prophet-saww: Certainly Allah Conferred a Favour upon the Momineen when He Sent among them a Rasool [3: 164] – the Verse; and with Ali-asws: Say: ‘By the Grace of Allah and by His Mercy [10: 58]. And Allah-azwj has Named six things – Mercy: So look at the impact of the Mercy of Allah, [30: 50]; the rain: and had it not been for the Grace of Allah upon you and His Mercy, [4: 83]; the inclination: He Enters one He so Desires to into His Mercy, [76: 31]; Al Islam: and there came to me a Mercy from Him, [11: 63]; the Eman: And We did not Send you except as a mercy [21: 107
