Hadith 111

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Muhammad Bin Al Abbas Al Nahwy, from Abu Al Aswad Al Khaleel Bin Aswad Al Nowshajany, from Muhammad Bin Sallam Al Jumhy, from Yunus Bin Habeeb Al Nahwy, and he was an Usman supporter who said, ‘I said to Al-Jaleel Bin Ahmad, ‘I want to ask you about things, but conceal it upon me’. He said, ‘Your word points upon that the answer is hasher than the question, so you conceal it as well’’. He said, ‘I said, ‘Yes, the days of your life’. He said, ‘Ask’. He said, ‘I said, ‘What is the matter the companions of Rasool-Allah-saww and their relatives, as if they, all of them are the sons of one mother and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws from between them as if he-asws is a son of another mother? ’ He said, ‘From where is this question for you? ’ He said, ‘I said, ‘You have promised me the answer’. He said, ‘And you have guaranteed the concealment to me’. He said, ‘I said, ‘The days of your life’. He said, ‘Ali-asws preceded them in being a Muslim, and surpassed them in knowledge, and overcame them in nobility, and outweighed them in ascetism, and most prolonged them in striving. So, they envied him-asws. And the people tend to be their similarities and their resemblances, inclining from them to the one obvious from them. So, understand! ’’[146]
