Hadith 13

hammad-saww and saving his-saww soul with his-asws soul. Allah-azwj Singled him-asws out besides by His-azwj Conduct with regards to His-azwj Masjid. Had you seen Ali-asws, O uncle of Rasool-Allah-saww, and great is his-asws status in the Presence of the Lord-azwj of the worlds, and noble is his-asws place in the presence of His-azwj Angels of Proximity, and great is his-asws glory in the High Illiyeen, you would have reduced what you view for him-asws over here. Beware, O uncle of Rasool-Allah-saww, of finding abhorrence for him-asws in your heart, so you would (end up) becoming like your brother Abu Lahabla, so you would both be wretched ones. O uncle of Rasool-Allah-saww! If the inhabitants of the skies and the earth were to hate Ali-asws, Allah-azwj would Destroy them due to their hatred for him-asws; and if the entirety of the Kafirs were to love him-asws, Allah-azwj would Reward them due to their love for him-asws, with the conclusion of the Most-Praised One-azwj being, Inclining them to the Eman, then Entering them into the Paradise by His-azwj Mercy. O uncle of Rasool-Allah-saww. The glory of Ali-asws is magnificent. The state of Ali-asws is majestic. The weight of Ali-asws‘s (status) is heavy, and the love of Ali-asws would not be placed in the Scale of anyone except it would outweigh upon his evil deeds; and hatred for him-asws would not be placed in the scale of anyone except it would outweigh his good deeds. Al-Abbas said, ‘I have submitted, and I am pleased, O Rasool-Allah-saww’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O uncle! Look at the sky! ’
Al-Abbas looked, and he-saww said: ‘What do you see, O Abbas? ’ He said, ‘I see the pure sun emerging from the sky, clear, shining’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O uncle of Rasool-Allah-saww! The excellence of your submission to what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Endowed to Ali-asws from the merits is more excellent that this sun in this sky. And the greatness of the Blessings of this submission upon you is greater and more than the greatness of the Blessings of this sun upon the vegetation, and the seeds, and the fruits – where it matures these, and develops these, and nourishes these. And know, that they have cleaned you, by your submission to Ali-asws, a tribe from the Angels of Proximity whose number is more than the drops of the rain, and leaves of the tree, and sands of a desert, and the number of the hairs of the animals, and the varieties of the vegetation, and the number of the footsteps (taken by) the children of Adam–as, and their breaths, and their letters (spoken), and their memories – all of them are saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Blessings upon Al-Abbas, uncle of Your-azwj Prophet-saww during his submission to Your-azwj Prophet-saww preferring his-saww brother-asws Ali-asws’. I-saww thus praise Allah-azwj and thank Him-azwj, for He-azwj has Magnified your gain and Made your rank to be majestic in the kingdoms of the skies’’. [44]
