The Prophet-saww sent Muaz Bin Jabal. He called out, ‘The Prophet-saww orders you all to close your doors except for the door of Ali-asws’. They obeyed him-saww, except one man. Rasool-Allah-saww stood, praised Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj’’. [45]
Then he said, ‘What is narrated to me with by Abu Al Hassan Al Aasimy Al Khawarizmi, from Abu Al Bayhaqi, from Ahmad Bin Ja’far, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Hanbal, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Awn, from Abdullah Bin Marmoun, from Zayd Bin Arqam, ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘as for after, I-saww have been Commanded with closing these doors apart from the door of Ali-asws. A speaker of your spoke, and by Allah-azwj, I-saww have not closed anything, nor opened it, but I-azwj have been Commanded with a thing, so I-azwj follow it’ – and it is mentioned by Ahmad in (the book) ‘Al-Fazaail’’. [46]

I-saww did not close these, and I-saww did not keep it open, but Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Closed these! ’ Then he-saww recited: (I Swear) by the star when it swoops down [53: 1] – up to His-azwj Words: Surely, it is only a Revelation He Revealed [53: 4]’’. [48]
