Hadith 12

had they asked him, they would have found him knowledgeable’. They said, ‘Narrate to us about Salman Al-Farsi-ra’. He-asws said: ‘Who can be for you all like Luqman-as the wise! ? And that is a man from us-asws People-asws of the Household. He-ra realised the first knowledge and realised the last knowledge, and he-ra read the first Book and read the last Book, an un-drainable sea’. We said, ‘Narrated to us about Ammar Bin Yasser-ra’. He-asws said: ‘That is a man Allah-azwj had Mingled his-ra Eman with his-ra flesh, and his-ra blood, and his-ra hair, and his-ra skin. Wherever the truth moved, he-ra moved with it, and it is not appropriate for the Fire that it consumes anything from him-ra’. We said, ‘Narrated to us about yourself-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Shh no! Allah-azwj has Forbidden us from the self-purification’. A man said to him-asws, ‘But, Allah-azwj Says: And as for the Favour of your Lord, so do announce (it) [93: 11]’. He-asws said: ‘But, I-asws am announcing the Favour of my-asws Lord-azwj. By Allah-azwj! Whenever you had asked me-asws, I gave (the answer), and when you were silent I-asws initiated, and beneath the two wings (shoulders) of mine-asws there is immense knowledge, so ask me-asws’. Ibn Al Kawa stood up to him-asws and asked him-asws about an issue, I (Majlisi) have referred to in its place from this book’’. [83]
And about Al Numan Bin Sa’ad who said, ‘I saw Ali-asws upon the pulpit saying: ‘Where are the people of Samood? ’ Al-Ash’as emerged, grabbed a handful of pebbles and struck his-asws face with it and made it bleed, and he-asws flinched, and the people flinched with him-asws, and said, ‘Destruction be for this face! Destruction be for this face! ’’[84]
And in Kitab Al-Gharaat – From Abbad Bin Abdullah Al-Asady who said, ‘I was seated on the day of Friday and Ali-asws was addressing upon a pulpit of bricks, and Ibn Sowhan was seated. Al-Ash’as came and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! These donkeys (non-Arabs and slaves) have overcome upon us upon your-asws face! ’ Ali-asws was angered, and Sa’sa said, ‘It has been manifested today from the affairs of the Arabs, what was hidden’. Ali-asws said: ‘Who will excuse me from these large-bodied ones, one of them has overturned from his pack, and a group forsakes from the Zikr of Allah-azwj, so they (people) are instructing me-asws with exiling them, so I-asws would become from the oppressors’. By the One-azwj Who Split the Seed and Formed the person! I-asws have heard Muhammad-saww saying: ‘By Allah-azwj! They will be struck upon the religion against just as they were struck upon it in the beginning’’. Mugheira said, ‘Ali-asws used to incline towards the slave and be kind with them, and Umar was severely remote from them’’. [85]
