Hadith 27

And a group of the hypocrites defrauded regarding the peace from the two groups – from the Prophet-saww and the best of his-saww companions (on one side), and from the variety of his-saww enemies, and the enmity, and the hatred, and the envy, and the malice was crammed into the chests of the hypocrites to the extent a speaker from the hypocrites said, ‘Muhammad-saww is being excessive in the praise of himself-saww, then he-saww is being excessive in the praise of his-saww brother-asws Ali-asws, and that is not from Lord-azwj of the worlds, but in that he-saww is from the over-emphasisers intending to affirm the government for himself-saww and for Ali-asws after his-saww own death’. Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: “O Muhammad-saww! Say to them: ‘And which thing are you all denying from that? He-asws is magnificent, benevolent, wise, pleasing, a servant from His-azwj servants, and He-azwj Chooses them with the Benevolence, from the excellence of their-asws obedience and their-asws submission to His-azwj Commands. He-azwj Delegates to them the affairs of His-azwj creatures with the Master plan of the Wise Whom Who Made them-asws to be compatible for it. And are you not seeing the kings of the earth, when one of them is pleased with the service of one of his servants and his obedience with what he had nominated for it from the affairs of his kingdom, makes whatever is behind his door to him (his secrets), and relies upon him regarding the affairs of his army and his citizens?

Therefore, come to us with a Sign worthy of the majesty of this Wilayah (master-ship). Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Was it not sufficient for you all, the light of Ali-asws shining in the darkness which you saw on the night he-asws went out from the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww to his-asws house? Was is not sufficient for you that Ali-asws crossed over and (although) the wall was in front of him-asws, but it opened up and made a way for him-asws, then it returned and joined up again? Was it not sufficient for you on the day of Ghadeer Khumm that Ali-asws, when Rasool-Allah-saww established him-asws, you saw the gateways of the sky opened up and the Angels emerging from these calling out to you, ‘This is a Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj, therefore obey him-asws, or else the Punishment of Allah-azwj would be Released with you all, therefore be warned’? Was is not sufficient for you seeing Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and he-asws was walking, and the mountain moving aside lest he-asws be needy to turn around from it, so when he-asws had crossed over, th
