Hadith 64

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Maseeh, from Abu Al Mo’tamar Abdul Aziz Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Muaw, from his father, and his uncle, from Muaz and Ubeydullah, two sons of Abdullah, from their uncle Yazeed Bin Al Asamma who said, ‘Safeer Bin Shajarah Al-Aamir arrived at Al-Medina and sought permission to see my maternal aunt Maymuna Bin Al-Haris, wife of the Prophet-saww, and I was with her. She said, ‘There is permission for the man’. He entered. She said, ‘Where is the man coming from? ’ He said, ‘From Al-Kufa’. She said, ‘From which tribe are you? ’ He said, ‘From the clan of Aamir’. Revival increases the nearness. What have you come for? ’ He said, ‘O mother of the believers! I was frightened that the Fitna (strife) would compel me when I saw the differing of the people, so I went out’. She said, ‘Did you pledge allegiance to Ali-asws? ’ He said, ‘Yes’. She said, ‘Then return and do not slip from his-asws character. By Allah-azwj! He-asws will not stray and you will not stray with him-asws’. He said, ‘O mother! Can you narrate to me a Hadeeth regarding Ali-asws you have heard from Rasool-Allah-saww? ’ She said, ‘O Allah-azwj! Yes, I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘Ali-asws is a sign of truth, and the flag of guidance. Ali-asws is sword of Allah-azwj unsheathed to the Kafirs and the hypocrites. So, the one who loves him-asws, so by my-saww love, I-saww shall love him, and one hating him-asws, so with my-saww hatred I-saww will hate him. Indeed! And the one who hates me-saww or hates Ali-asws would meet Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and there will be no argument for him (to present)’’. [75]
