Hadith 99

Tafseer Furaat bin Ibrahim – Ubeyd Bin Kaseer transmitting from Malik Al-Mazny who said, ‘Nine people came to Abu Saeed Al-Khudry and they said, ‘O Abu Saeed! This man whom the people are frequently speaking about, what are you saying regarding him? ’ He said, ‘About whom are you asking me? ’ They said, ‘We are asking about Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. He said, ‘But you are asking me about a man who is more bitter than the oleander and sweeter than the honey, and lighter than the feather and heavier than the mountain. But by Allah-azwj, he-asws is not sweeter except upon the tongue of the Momineen and he-asws is not light except upon the hearts of the pious. Thus, no one will love him-asws at all for the Sake of Allah-azwj and for His-azwj Rasool-saww except Allah-azwj will Resurrect him to be from the secured ones, and he would be from the party of Allah-azwj, and the party of Allah-azwj, they will overcome. By Allah-azwj! He-asws is not bitter except upon the tongue of a Kafir, nor heavier except upon the head of a hypocrite, and no one will turn away from him-asws at all, nor turn back, nor form an alliance (against him-asws, nor frown, nor scowl, nor rival, nor show anger, nor turn away, nor look (harshly), nor smile (slyly), nor be audacious, nor laugh at his-asws companion, nor say, ‘I wonder at this matter’, except Allah-azwj will Resurrect him as a hypocrite along with the hypocrites, And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26: 227]’’.
