Hadith 114

And Abdul Hameed Bin Abu Al Hadeed said in the commentary of (the book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’, ‘Know that if Amir Al-Momineen-asws had prided with himself-asws and reached in the counting of his-asws virtues and his-asws merits with his-asws eloquence which Allah-azwj the Exalted has Given and Specialised him-asws with, and Assisted him-asws upon that against eloquence of all the Arabs, they would not reach to a tenth of what the truthful Rasool-Allah-saww had spoken with regarding his-asws matter. And I don’t mean by that the Ahadeeth of the general Muslims made public, which the Imamites tend to argue with for his-asws Imamate – like Khyber, and Al-Ghadeer, and status, and story of (Surah) Bara’at, and Hadeeth of whispering, and story of Khyber, and Hadeeth of the House of Makkah in the beginning of the call, and approximate to that. But, the Ahadeeth of the Shias which leaders of the Hadeeth have reported which the least of the little from these was not attained by others. And I shall mention something small from that, from what the scholars of the Hadeeth have reported, those who cannot be accused regarding it, and most of they are speakers with the preference of others over him-asws. Their reporting his-asws merits obligates such calmness of the self what the reports of others does not’’. [189]
The first Hadeeth – ‘O Ali-asws! Allah-azwj has Adorned you-asws with such adornments, He-azwj did not Adorn the servants with such adornments. The most beloved to Him-azwj from these is adornment of the righteous in the Presence of Allah-azwj the Exalted – the ascetism in the world. He-azwj Made you-asws not to reduce anything from the world, not the world to reduce anything from you-asws; and He-azwj Gifted to you-asws love of the poor, and Made you-asws to be pleased with them as followers, and they being pleased with you-asws as an Imam-asws’’. [190]
It is reported by Abu Nueym Al-Hafiz in his famous book ‘Hilyat Al-Awliya’, and there is an addition in it by Abu Abdullah Ahmad Bin Hanbal in (the book) ‘Musnad’: ‘Beatitude is for one who loves you-asws and ratifies regarding you-asws, and woe be unto the one hating you-asws and belies upon you-asws’’. [191]
The second Hadeeth – He-saww said to a delegation of Saqeef: ‘Either you submit or I-saww shall send to you all a man from me-saww’ – or said: ‘Equating to myself-saww, so let him-asws strike off your necks and capture your offspring, and let him-asws seize your wealth’. Umar said, ‘I did not wish for the governance except on that day, and went on to set up my chest for it in desired that he-saww would be saying for me: ‘He is that one! ’ But he-saww turned and held a hand of Ali-asws and said: ‘This one! ’ – twice’’. [192]
It is reported by Ahmad in (the book) ‘Al-Musnad’, and it is reported in the book ‘Fazaail Ali-asws) – He-saww said: ‘Either you will desist, O clan of Walie, or else I-saww shall send to you a man like myself-saww. He-asws will implement my-saww orders among you. He-asws will kill the fighters and capture the offspring! ’
Abu Zarr-ra said, ‘Nothing scared me except the cold hand of Umar in my-ra side from behind me-ra saying, ‘Whom do you-ra see him-saw
