Hadith 60

(The book) ‘Kashaf Al Ghumma’, from (the book) ‘Manaqib’ of al Khawarizmy, from Abdullah Bin Masoud who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The first one from the inhabitants of the sky to take Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws as a brother, is Israfeel–as, then Mikaeelas, then Jibraeel–as. And the first one from the inhabitants of the sky to love him-asws are bearers of the Throne, then Rizwaan keeper of the Gardens, then Angel of death. And the Angel of death tends to be merciful upon the ones loving Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws like what he is merciful upon the Prophetsas’’. [157]
And from the book ‘Kifayat Al Talib’ – From Wahab Bin Munbiya, from Abdullah Bin Masoud who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww have not sent Ali-asws in a battalion except I-saww saw Jibraeel–as on his-asws right and Mikaeel–as on his-asws left, and the cloud shading him-asws, until Allah-azwj Graces him-asws the victory’’.
