Hadith 235

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaaid’ (and) ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Mohammad Bin Hammam, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Al-Hassan Bin Musa, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Abdul Rahman, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Glorious and Exalted Said: Did We not Expand your chest for you? [94: 1] – with Ali-asws – And Placed down your burden from you, [94: 2] Which was breaking your back? [94: 3] – from your-saww Prophet-hood. So when you are free, – from your-saww Prophet-hood – then nominate [94: 7] Ali-asws as a successor-asws – And to your Lord be hopeful [94: 8] regarding that’’. [142]
And it is reported as well by Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Muhammad Bin Hammam, by his chain from Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Muhallaby, from Suleyman who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws Words of the Exalted: Did We not Expand your chest for you? [94: 1]. He-asws said: ‘By Ali-asws, so He-azwj Made him-asws a successor-asws’. I said, ‘And His-azwj Words: So when you are free, then nominate [94: 7]? ’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Commanded him-saww when he-saww had done that he-saww should nominate Ali-asws as his-saww successor-asws’’. [143]
And he said as well, ‘It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Qasim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abu Jameela, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Words of the Exalted: So when you are free, then nominate [94: 7] Ali-asws. Rasool-Allah-saww had just performed Hajj, so it was Revealed: So when you are free, then nominate [94: 7] Ali-asws for the people’’. [144]
And he said as well, ‘It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Qasim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, by his chain to Al Mufazzal Bin Umar, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: So when you are free, then nominate [94: 7] Ali-asws with the Wilayah’’. [145]
