Hadith 291

u Nasr, from Ziyad Bin Mutrif, from Zayd Bin Arqam, and maybe he did not mention Zayd Bin Arqam, who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who loves to live my-saww life and die my-saww passing away, and settle in the eternal Garden which my-saww Lord-azwj has Promised me-saww, for my-saww Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic Planted it by His-azwj Hand, then let him befriend Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, for he-asws will never exit you from a guidance and will never enter you into a straying’’. [126]
And I have copied from (the book) ‘Manaqib’ of Al Khawarizmi, from Abd Khayr, ‘From Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘A cluster of bananas was gifted to the Prophet-saww. He-saww went on to peel the banana and making it to be in my-asws mouth. A speaker said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww love Ali-asws! ’ He-saww said: ‘Don’t you know that Ali-asws is from me-saww and I-saww am from him-asws? ’’[127]
And from him, from Jabir who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Jibraeelas came to me-saww from the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with a green myrtle leaf. There was written in it in white: “I-azwj have Obligated the love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws upon Me-azwj creatures, so deliver that to them on My-azwj behalf! ”’[128]
And from him, from Muawiya Bin Sa’alba who said, ‘A man came to Abu Zarrra and hera was seated in the Masjid, and Ali-asws was praying Salat in front of himra. He said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Will youra not narrate to me with the most beloved of the people to youra? By Allah-azwj! I know that the most beloved of them to youra would be the one most beloved of them to Rasool-Allah-saww’. Hera said, ‘Yes. By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is myra soul! The most beloved of them to mera is the one most beloved of them to Rasool-Allah-saww, and he-asws is that sheykh’ – and hera indicated by hisra hand towards Ali-asws’’. [129]
And from (the book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ as well – ‘A man said to Salmanra, ‘How intense is yourra love for Ali-asws! ’ Hera said: ‘Ira have heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘One who loves Ali-asws, so he has loved me-saww, and one who hates Ali-asws, so he has hated me-saww’’. [130]
And from him, said, ‘I am informed by the imam, the memoriser, chief of the memorisers, Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad Al Attar, from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Created seventy thousand Angel, from the Noor (radiance) of the face of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, seeking Forgiveness for him-asws and for ones loving him-asws up to the Day of Qiyamah’’. [131]
And from him, from Ibn Masoud who said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘One who claims that he has believed in me-saww and in what I-saww have come with, and he hates Ali-asws, so he is a liar. He isn’t a believer’’. [132]
And from him, from Zayd Bin Arqam who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who loves to adhere with the red pole which Allah-azwj has Installed it in the Garden of Eden by His-azwj Right Hand, then let him adhere with the love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’. [133]
