Hadith 37

pped Allah-azwj secretly in a place it is not like that Allah-azwj be worshipped therein except in desperation; and Maryam Bint Imran-as was Chosen by Allah-azwj when the birth of Isa-as was Eased upon her-as, so she-as shook the dry trunk of the palm tree in a wilderness from the earth until ripe dates dropped upon her-as. And Allah-azwj the Exalted Chose me-as and Merited me-as over them-as both, and over every one from the women of the worlds passed before me-as, because I-as have been blessed (with a boy) in the Ancient House (Kabah), and remained in it for three days. I-as ate from the fruits of Paradise and its sustenance(s). When I-as wanted to come out and my-as son-asws was upon my-as hands, a caller called out to me-as and said: “O Fatima-asws! Name him-asws as ‘Ali’, for I-azwj am ‘Al-Ali ul Alla’ (the most Exalted), and I-azwj Created him-saww from My-azwj Power and Might of My-azwj Majesty, and fairness of My-azwj Justice, and I-azwj have Derived his-asws name from My-azwj Name, and Educated him-asws with My-azwj Education, and Delegated My-azwj Affairs to him-asws and Harmonised him-asws upon the hidden of My-azwj Knowledge, and Caused him-asws to be born in My-azwj House. And he-asws is the first one to proclaim Azaan on top of My-azwj House, and break the idols, and throw them upon their faces, and Revere Me-azwj, and extol My-azwj Glory and My-azwj Holiness, and he-asws is the Imam-asws after My-azwj Beloved, and My-azwj Prophet-saww, and My-azwj Choice from My-azwj creatures, Muhammad-saww My-azwj Rasool-saww, and is his-saww successor-asws. So, beatitude is for the one who loves him-asws and helps him-asws, and the woe be to the one who disobeys him-asws and abandons him-asws and rejects his-asws rights! ”’
He said, ‘When Abu Talib-asws saw him-asws, he-as was joyful, and Ali-asws said: ‘The greetings be to you-as, O father-as, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’. Then Rasool-Allah-saww entered. When he-saww entered, Amir Al-Momineen-asws waggled to him-saww and smiled in his-saww face and said: ‘Greetings be unto you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’. He said, ‘Then he-asws cleared his-asws throat by the Permission of Allah-azwj and Exalted and said: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Mominoun have succeeded [23: 1] Those who are humble in their Salats [23: 2]’ – up to the last Verses. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘They have succeeded due to you-asws’, and he-saww recited the complete Verses up to His-azwj Words: These ones, they are the inheritors [23: 10] Those who would be inheriting the (Garden of) Firdows. They would be in it eternally [23: 11]’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj! You-asws are their commander, Emir of the Momineen. You-asws instruct them from your-asws knowledge and they would be learning, and by Allah-azwj, you-asws are their pointer and they would be guided by you-asws’. Then Rasool-Allah-saww said to Fatima-asws (Bint Asad-as): ‘Go to his-asws uncle-as Hamza-as and give him-as glad tidings of him-asws’.
