Hadith 126

rits, these have reached the magnificence and the publicity with the ugliness of the objections to his-asws mentioned and the blocking of its detail. So, it became like what Abu Al-Ayna said to Abdullah Bin Yahya Bin Khawan, minister of Al-Mutawakkil and Al-Mo’tamad (two caliphs), ‘You see me in what I am giving you from the description to you of the merit (of Ali-asws) is like the informant about the brightness of the dazzling day and the apparent moon which is not hidden to the beholder. I am certain that wherever the words end with me, it would be attributed to the frustration from the people. I am turning away from the praising upon you-asws to the supplication for you-asws and I am allocating the Ahadeeth about you-asws to the knowledge of the people with you-asws. And what can I be saying regarding a man (Ali-asws), even his-asws enemies and his-asws adversaries are acknowledging with the merits, and ignorance does not enable them (to know) his-asws virtues. And there is no concealment of his-asws merits, for it is known that the clan of Umayya had ruled upon the authority of in the east of the earth and its west, and they had strived with every means in extinguishing his-asws Light, and altering upon it, and placing the faults and the defamatory (statements) to him-asws and cursing him-asws upon entirety of the pulpits. And they were threatening the ones praising him-asws, but they were imprisoning them and killing them, and they forbade from reporting any Hadeeth which was inclusive of a merit for him-asws, and raising his-asws mention, to the extent that they cautioned forbidding anyone from naming with his-asws name. But that did not increase except elevation and fame, he-asws was like the musk, every time it is veiled, its aroma spreads, and every time he-asws was concealed, he-asws was publicised; and he-asws was like the sun. It cannot be veiled by the hand (upon the eyes), and like the brightness of the day, if one eye is veiled from it, a lot of other eyes realise it. And what can I say regarding a man-asws (when) every merit is consoled to him-asws and every sect is pulled towards him-asws. He-asws is the head of the merits and its spring, and father of its justification, and the one preceding in its course, and the winner of its racehorses. Everyone who was excellent in these after it, has taken it from him-asws, and was a follower of his-asws and had been led upon his-asws example. And you have known that the noblest of the knowledge, it is the knowledge of Divinity, because the nobility of the knowledge is due to the nobility of the known, and it is well known as noblest of the findings. So, it was noblest of the knowledge(s) and it was attained from his-asws speeches, and copied from him-asws, and ending up to him-asws, and it began from him-asws. The Mu’tazilites are the ones who are people of Al-Tawheed, and the justice, and the lords of perception, and the people are learning from them. This is the skill taught by him-asws and his-asws companions, because their eldest is Waasil Bin Ata’a, student of Abu Hashim Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Nahafiyya, and Abu
