e down unto me-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Allah-azwj Conveys the Greeting to you-saww and Says to you-saww: “I-azwj have Imposed the Salat and Dropped it from the sick, and the insane, and the child. And I-azwj have Imposed the Fasting and Dropped it from the traveller. And I-azwj have Imposed the Hajj and Dropped it from the sick. And I-saww have Imposed the Zakat and Dropped it from the poor. And I-azwj have Imposed the love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and Imposed his-asws love upon the inhabitants of the skies and the earth and did not Give anyone any allowance (exceptions)! ”
O Bedouin! Shall I-saww inform you with the third? ’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has not Created anything except He-azwj Made a chief to be for it. The eagle is chief of the birds, and bull is chief of the beasts, and the lion is chief of the predators, and the Friday is chief of the days, and Ramazan is chief of the months, and Israfeel-as is chief of the Angels, and Adam-as is chief of the mortals, and I-saww am chief of the Prophets-as and Ali-asws is chief of the successors-as’. O Arab brother! Shall I-saww inform you about the fourth? ’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-saww said: ‘Love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is a tree, its roots are in the Paradise and its branches are in the world. The one from my-saww community who adheres with a branch from its branches, it would take him into the Paradise. And hatred of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is such a tree, its roots are in the Fire and its branches are in the world. The one who adheres with a branch from its branches, it would enter him into the Fire’. O Bedouin! Shall I-saww inform you with the fifth? ’ I said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! ’
He-saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a pulpit would be set up for me-saww on the right of the Throne. Then a pulpit would be set up for Ibrahim-as parallel to my-saww pulpit on the right of the Throne. Then they will bring a chair, lofty, noble, blossoming. The honour would be recognised by the chair. It would be set up for Ali-asws in between my-saww pulpit and pulpit of Ibrahim-as. So, my-saww eyes will not anything more beautiful than a beloved between the two friends. O Bedouin! Love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is a reality, so love him-asws, for Allah-azwj the Exalted Loves the one loving him-asws, and he will be with me-saww on the Day of Qiyamah, and I-saww and him would be one segment’. At that, he said, ‘Listening and obeying to Allah-azwj and to His-azwj Rasool-saww, and to the son-asws of your-saww uncle-as Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’. [99]
