Fazilat About Hazrat Imam Ali Ibn e Abi Talib a.s according to Hadith's of Prophet Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w .Open challenged & Proof to All the world .
Asalamoalaka ya Ameer ul Momineen Imam Ali Ibn Abitalib a.s.
Ibn Sabbagh Maliki records a similar hadith in Fusulu'l-Muhimma, p. 125, from Khasa'isu'l-Alawi as a narration of Abdullah bin Abbas, and Imam Abu Abdu'r-Rahman Nisa'i reports in Khasa'isu'l-Alawi that he said: "I have heard Umar bin Khattab saying 'Mention Ali's name with respect because I have heard the Prophet saying that Ali has three qualities. I (Umar) wished that I had only one of them because each of those qualities is dearer to me than anything in this world.' "Umar's saying, "If there were no Ali, Umar would have been ruined. (Died)"
Narrate from the second Caliph, Umar Bin Khattab: "I bear witness that I heard the Prophet say, 'If the seven heavens were put in one balance and Ali's faith in the other, Ali's faith would surely outweigh the other.'"
Prophet said to us: 'It should not remain unknown to anyone that if the faith of all those living on the earth were placed in one scale of the balance and that of Ali in the other scale, Ali's faith would outweigh the other.'"
Narrated from Abdullah Bin Umar Bin Khattab. He said that one day while counting the names of the companions, he named Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman. A man said, "O Abu Abdu'r-Rahman! Why did you omit the name of Ali?" He replied: "Ali is one of the descendants of the Prophet. He cannot be included with anyone else. He is in the same category as the Prophet of Allah."
"...Say (O' Muhammad unto mankind): I do not ask of you any reward for it
(preaching the message),
but love for my near relatives Ahlul-Bait'; and whoever earns good, we give
him more of good therein,.." Qur'an 42:23,)
The Prophet (s.a.w.) explicitly told the Muslims that this verse refers to his
Ahlul-Bait that is
Ali, Fatima, Hasan, and Husain and urged them to obey and follow these
illustrious personalities after him.
When Allah created Adam... (until he said) there was a brilliant girl from
whom light was illuminating
and on her head was a golden crown ornamented with diamonds; the like of whom
Adam had never seen.
Adam asked: 'My Lord who is this girl?'
Allah said: 'Fatima Bint Muhammad.'
Adam said: 'My Lord, who is her husband?'
Allah said: 'O Gabriel, open the gate of the ruby palace;' when Gabriel did,
Adam saw a dome of camphor
and inside it was a golden bed equipped by a young man as beautiful as Yusef.'
He then said: "This is her husband, Ali Ibn Abu Talib."
Imam Al-Hassan Ibn Ali Al-Askari (a.s) reported that his Fathers quoted
Jabir Ibn Abdullah as
saying: "The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'When Allah created Adam and
Eve, they strutted
through paradise and said: 'Who are better than we?' At that moment they
noticed an image of a
girl like they had never seen before; from this girl came an illuminating
light so bright that
it almost blinded the eyes.
They said: 'O Lord, what is this?'
He answered: 'This is the image of Fatima, the mistress of your women
descendants.'
Adam asked: 'What is this crown on her head?'
Allah said: 'Her husband Ali.'
Adam then asked: 'What are her two earrings?'
Allah replied: 'Her (two) sons, they were ordained in My ever-existent
knowledge two thousand
years before I created you."
Despite Fatima's modest marriage on Earth, Allah, the Exalted, bestowed her with an honorable gift. He (Glory be to Him) gave her in marriage to Ali Ibn Abu Talib, before the Messenger himself did so. This is not abnormal, for Allah had given women who are much lower than Fatima in marriage to the Prophet (p.b.u.h).
Therefore, was it not possible for Fatima's wedding to have been
celebrated in the exalted heavens, and attended by the nearest angels to
Allah, the Exalted, as Prophetic traditions state?! Indeed, this is what
happened in tribute to Fatima, her Father, her husband, and her future
children who are the authorities of Allah on His creatures.
The celebration took place in the fourth Heaven near Al-Bait Al-Ma'mour
(the constantly attended house of Allah). It was a unique event the like of
which the universe had never encountered before. Angels from all the Heavens
gathered in the fourth Heaven and erected the Minbar of Honor, which is made
of light. Then Allah, The Almighty, revealed to one of His angels, Rahil, to
ascend the Minber and praise and glorify His names as He deserves. Rahil,
who was the most eloquent of all angels, did what his Lord revealed to him
and said: "Praise
be to Allah, since sempiternity of the first (creatures); He who is
ever-lasting (even) after the cessation of all beings; We praise Him for
making us spiritual angels;, who are submitting to His God ship, and for
making us grateful forr Him for His benevolence on us.
He
safeguarded us from craving for lusts; and
made our
only pleasure and enjoyment to glorify and exalt Him.
He Who
extended His Mercy (upon everything);
and
bestowed His benevolence (upon everyone).
Exalted is
His Name from the polytheism of polytheists of the dwellers of Earth, And
Elevated by
His Creatures from the fabrications of the atheists."
Allah, The
Omnipotent King chose the one who was bestowed with special Divine Honor,
and the worshipper of His Greatness, for His worshipper, the Mistress of
women and the daughter of the best of prophets, the Master of all messengers
and the Imam of the pious; so He brought into relations the Prophet with a
man from his kin. One who is his believing companion, and was prompt in
answering his call-Ali, the devout, with Fatima the splendid and the
daughter of the Messenger."
Then Gabriel added the following words, which were from Allah, the
Exalted:
"Praise is
My garment
Greatness is My Magnificence
All the creatures are My slaves men and women. I give Fatima, My Worshipper in marriage to Ali, My chosen worshipper. So bear witness O My angels."
Reported that Jabir Ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Um Ayman came to the Prophet (p.b.u.h) crying; the Prophet asked her why she was crying? She replied: 'A man from the Ansar just informed me that his daughter has just been married, and that sprinkled sweets and almonds on her. Thus, this reminded me that when Fatima married Ali, you did not sprinkle anything on her.'
There-upon the Prophet said: "By Allah Who sent me with honor, and gifted me with the Messenger ship; when Allah gave Fatima to Ali in marriage, He ordered the nearest angels to surround the Throne-including Gabriel, Michael and Israfil. He also commanded birds to sing and ordered the tree of Tuba to sprinkle them with fresh pearls, white gems, green chrysolites and red rubies.'
According to another tradition, he (p.b.u.h) said: "The marriage took place near the Lotus tree in the seventh Heaven, on the night of Ascension. (On that occasion) Allah revealed to the tree: Sprinkle all that you bear on them.' So it sprinkled them with gems, jewe1ry and corals."
Then Allah commanded the Tree of Paradise to bear gems and jewelry; He then ordered it to sprinkle them over the angels. So whoever received more than the others on that day, will be proud of it until the Day of Resurrection."
The Prophet (P.b.u.h) ordered Ali (a.s) to hold a dinner because Allah, the Exalted, is pleased with those who do so; for the social good it does-such as bringing people together and implementing love and harmony among them. It is noteworthy that Lady Fatima Zahra (a.s) excelled in giving on the path of Allah; she possessed generosity that no other woman can claim to be equal to.
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) had a new dress made for Fatima (as a gift) for her
wedding; she had just one old patched dress. On her wedding night, someone
knocked on the door and said: 'I
ask the household of Prophethood to give me an old dress'. At first Fatima
was going to give him her old dress, but then remembered the Quranic verse:
'By no
means shall ye attain righteousness unless ye give (freely) of that which ye
love (prefer)'
She then gave the poor man her new dress. Consequently, Gabriel descended and said: 'O Muhammad! Allah sends Him peace upon you, He commanded me to greet Fatima and (give her the gift He sent her) which is a dress from Paradise, made of silk brocade..." (Returning to the feast), when the food had been prepared, the meat cooked, the bread baked and the dates and butter obtained, the Prophet (P.b.u.h) started spitting the dates and mixing them with the butter to replace sweetmeat for the wedding.
When everything was ready, he (P.b.u.h) asked Ali to invite the people to the feast.
When Ali reached the Mosque, he found it crowded with people-all were at the Mosque, from the poor immigrants who lived there to the Ansars. Nevertheless, Ali's generosity and noble-hearted less did not allow him to invite some people and exclude others, especially since everyone wanted to be invited to the Prophet's daughter's wedding feast. Ali's belief in Allah's power and the Prophet's blessed heart, motivated him to call out loud:
" O people, answer the call for the feast of Fatima Bint Muhammad." Men and women from all around Medina gathered in the house. They ate, drank and even took food to their homes. The blessings of the Prophet were obvious on that day, for not only the food was enough to feed everyone, but also it did not decrease at all.
The Prophet (P.b.u.h) asked for food containers to be brought and filled them and sent them to his wives and left a special container for Fatima and her husband. By sunset, the wedding night had begun; it was time for Fatima to depart to her new home. Everything went well, for the Prophet (P.b.u.h) had made all the necessary preparation for the wedding. Despite the simplicity and modesty of her wedding, Fatima's marriage ceremony was surrounded by signs of greatness, excellence, and beauty.
Jabir said: "We were present at Fatima and Ali's (may Allah be pleased with them) wedding ceremony, and indeed we have not seen any ceremony better than that one..."
The Messenger of Allah (P.b.u.h) ordered his wives to embellish Fatima (a.s)
before the wedding; they perfumed and dressed her with jewelry. They all
helped to ready Fatima; some combed her hair while others embellished and
dressed her in the dress brought by Gabriel from Paradise. Allah's Messenger (P.b.u.h) paid special attention to Fatima Zahra (a.s),
which he did not bestow on his other daughters for the following reasons:
B. Her husband is Ali Ibn Abu Talib, who is known for his talents and longstanding service to Islam-besides being the Prophet's cousin. C. The Prophet (P.b.u.h) also knew that his daughter was going to be included in the verse of purification, the verse of Mubahelah (supplication), and the verse of Kinship. D. Fatima also is the mother of the Holy Imams who will lead humanity until the Day of Resurrection.
The night of Fatima's wedding arrived. Because every girl needs her mother on her wedding night, Fatima missed Khadija and felt very much like an orphan. With his (P.b.u.h) noble and special attention to Fatima, the Prophet wished to fill Khadija's space; the Prophet called Ali (a.s) and Fatima, who proceeded towards him-Fatima was in her long heavenly dress overtaken with shyness. He (P.b.u.h) brought his gray horse and asked Fatima to ride it and ordered Salman to lead while he (P.b.u.h) followed them. Yes, indeed, Fatima's wedding was attended by heavenly creatures as well as people; for she is a human huri.
"When Fatima was taken to Ali's house on her wedding night, the Prophet proceeded her, Gabriel was on her right, and Michael on her left, and seventy thousand angels followed her. These angels praised and glorified Allah until dawn!! The Hashemit men, Abdul Muttalib's daughters, and Muhajerin and Ansar s women all accompanied Fatima's caravan that night. The Prophet's wives joyfully led the caravan; they were also the first to enter the house.
Upon arriving, the Prophet (P.b.u.h) placed Fatima's hand in Ali's hand and said: May Allah bless his Messenger's daughter;
Ali, this is Fatima, you are responsible for her (or I entrust her to you)
A1i what an excellent wife Fatima is!!
Fatima, what an excellent husband Ali is!!
O Allah, bless them, bless their lives, and bless their children.
O Allah, surely they are the most beloved to me from among your creatures, so love them too, and assign for them a guardian.
I place them and their progeny under Your protection from the curse devil.'
The Prophet (P.b.u.h) then asked for a jug of water; he sipped a small amount of the water and after gargling with it, placed it back in the jug.
He then called for Fatima and sprayed her head and shoulders with that water and did the same thing to Ali (a.s). Thereafter, he ordered the women to leave the house. They all left except Asma Bint Umais. When he noticed that she had stayed behind, he exclaimed: 'Didn't l ask you to leave?' She answered: 'Indeed, O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be your sacrifice; I did not intend to disobey you, but I promised Khadija to take her place on this night.' The Prophet was moved by this; he cried and said to Asma: 'By Allah, is this the reason that made you stay behind?' She said: 'Yes, by Allah!' He (P.b.u.h) then said: 'Asma, may Allah fulfill for you the needs of this world and the Hereafter."
Imam Ali (a.s) quoted Fatima as saying: 'The Messenger of Allah (P.b.u.h) said: Fatima, praises you, will be forgiven by Allah; companion where ever in Paradise I may be.'
"The Messenger of Allah (p.b.u.h) asked: 'What is best for women?' We did not know how to answer the Prophet, so Ali (a.s) asked Fatima about the Prophet's question.
Fatima answered: 'It is best for them not to see men and not to let men see them.'
Ali returned to Allah s Messenger and conveyed Fatima's answer to him. When the Prophet had heard the answer, he said: 'Surely she has spoken the truth, for she is part of me.'
"Once, the Messenger of Allah came to us while Fatima was sitting near the pot and I was cleaning some lentils; when the Prophet saw us he said: 'Abu Al-Hassan!' I said: 'At your service! O Messenger of Allah!'
He then said: 'Listen to me, for I say not save that which is the word of Lord: There is not a man who helps his wife in her housework, save that with very hair on his body a whole year of worship-during which he fasted the days and kept up the nights in prayer-is counted for him..
Imam Ali (a.s) finally approached the Prophet (P.b.u.h) and asked for Fatima's hand in marriage. The Messenger, who has absolute guardianship over all Muslim men and women, including his daughter, would not announce his agreement to the marriage without Fatima's consent. By this action, He (P.b.u.h) made it clear that it is inevitable to obtain the daughter's permission for marriage, because she is the one who is to live with the man and share his life. Indeed, giving a girl in marriage to someone without her prior approval or permission is a clear violation of her honor, degradation of her personality, disruption of her soul and a practical declaration to her that she is like an animal who can be sold or given as a gift to anyone without the right to state her opinion.
The Prophet left Ali waiting for the answer. The Prophet informed his daughter that Ali wished to marry her. Fatima did not need to ask about Ali's occupation, manners, age and other traits; because she knew all about his talents, excellent traits and long standing service to Islam. It is for this reason that the Prophet (P.b.u.h) only said to her:
"Fatima, you know Ali Ibn Abu Talib's relationship to us, his devotion and faithfulness to Islam. I asked Allah to give you in marriage to the best of His creatures, and the most beloved to Him; and he (Ali) has declared his wish to marry you; what do you say?"
Fatima did not reply, nor did she show a sign of rejection or resentment, so he (P.b.u.h) stood up and said:"Allah is the Greatest! Her silence is her approval." The Prophet considered Fatima's silence as her consent and approval of the marriage; because a shy, virgin girl is not expected to declare her agreement openly. Yes, disagreement and rejection of marriage can be openly expressed by her. But shyness prevents a girl from declaring her wish to marry a man, but it does not stop her from rejecting it.
The Prophet (P.b.u.h) went back to the waiting Ali and informed him of Fatima's approval of the marriage. He also inquired about the extent of his preparedness to fulfill the requirements needed for the wedding, because legally and traditionally there has to be a dowry. Specially in light of the fact that this marriage would be remembered and be of great influence to the future generations. Thus, it was important to observe every element and event which would play a part of this marriage-within the limits of simplicity and modesty.
When Ali had sold his sword, he brought the money to the Prophet; who divided it into thirds: one-third was for household necessities, one-third was for perfumes and embellishments for the wedding, and the remaining one-third he gave to Um Salamah, who was to give it back to Ali to assist him in paying for food for the guests attending the ceremony.
Naturally, Ali's marriage to Fatima Zahra (a.s) raised envy and enmity in the hearts of some men; especially those who were rejected by Fatima and her father when they had asked for her hand. So it was not strange to see some Quraishans come to the Prophet and say: "Surely you have taken a lowly dowry for Fatima from Ali."
The Prophet replied: "It was not I who gave (Fatima to) Ali in marriage, rather Allah did so on the night of ascension near the Lotus tree (in the seventh Heaven)..."
He then added: "Verily I am a man just like you, I many (from) your women and give you my (marriageable) women in marriage, save Fatima, for her marriage was revealed in Heaven."
The Messenger of Allah (P.b.u.h) said: 'O Fatima, do you know why you have been given the name Fatima?' Ali (a.s) said: 'Why was she named (Fatima)?' He replied: 'Because she and her followers (Shiites) are protected from Hell."
Muhibb at.-Tabari narrates from A'ishah that
she said: "I saw my father (Abu Bakr) gazing often
at All's face. I said: 0 my father! I see you gazing often at Mi's face.' He
said: "0 my daughter!
I heard the Prophet say: "Looking at the face of All is worship.

"Shah-e-Marddan , Sheer-e-Yazdan , Power or Quota of Allah ...... La Fat-ha , ILLAllah Ali , La Saif , ILLAllah Zulfiqar "
The Prophet said to Ali: "Do you possess anything (which you can pay for the dowry) to marry Fatima'?"
Imam Ali answered: "May my parents be your sacrifice! By Allah, there is not a thing of my affairs hidden from you; I own my sword, shield and the camel which I use for irrigation!!" Indeed, this was everything that Ali possessed in this world when he was about to get married!!
The Messenger openheartedly listened to Ali and said: "Ali, you cannot do without your sword, for you have to struggle with it and defend yourself against the enemies of Allah. As for your camel, you need it to irrigate palm trees and support your family, and you need it as a means of travel But I accept the shield as a dowry from you; thus, sell it and bring me the money!!"
Ali had won this shield from the booty of the battle of Badr. It was
given to him by the Messenger, who named it Al-Hademah; because it destroyed
all the swords which stuck it. The Commander of the Faithful (a.s) sold the shield for 480 or 500
dirham and brought the money to the Prophet (P.b.u.h). They both agreed
that this money would be the dowry of the most honorable girl and most
exalted female of the universe. Yes, Fatima was the Mistress of the women of
the world, and the daughter of the Master of Prophets and Messengers, who
was the best of Allah's creatures.
He is Bab Allah .
He came in grave for help of Momin .
He came at the time of Death to show his ziyarat to Kafir & Momin .
He is Yad Allah .
This is the famous tradition, also mentioned in the narration given by alHakim
in Mustadrak `ala alSahihayn (vol. iii, pp. 109110), quoted in the
section "On Some Sahih Versions of the Hadith" in the present article, in which
the Prophet (S) while returning from his last pilgrimage stopped the entire
caravan at Ghadir Khumm and made the announcement:
Of whomever I am his master, `Ali also is his master (mawla).
AlTirmidhi, in his Sahih, ii, 297, records this tradition of the Prophet
(S):
Verily, `AIi and I are inseparable, and he is the master (wali) of every
believer after me.
O Ali four people will enter heaven first of all. Me, you, Hasan, Hussain and your descendents will follow us and our wives will follow our descendents and our Shi’a will be to the left and right of us”.

Hazrat Jabir ibn e Abduallah r.a Ansari asked the Prophet (PBUH&HF): "We know Allah and the Prophet, but who are those vested with authority whose obedience has been conjoined to that of Allah and yourself?
" The Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: "They are my Caliphs and the Imams of Muslims after me. The first of them is Ali; then al-Hasan; then al-Husain; then Ali son of al-Husain; then Muhammad son of Ali who has been mentioned 'al-Baqir' in the Torah (the old testament). O Jabir! You will meet him. When you see him, convey my greetings to him. He will be succeeded by his son, Ja'far al-Sadiq (the Truthful); then Musa son of Ja'far; then Ali son of Musa; then Muhammad son of Ali; then Ali son of Muhammad; then al-Hasan son of Ali. He will be followed by his son whose name and nick name will be the same as mine. He will be Proof of Allah (Hujjatullah) on the earth, and the one spared by Allah (Baqiyyatullah) to maintain the cause of faith among mankind. He shall conquer the whole world from the east to the west. So long will he remain hidden from the eyes of his followers and friends that the belief in his leadership will remain only in those hearts which have been tested by Allah for faith."
Jabir said: "O Messenger of Allah! Will his followers benefit from his seclusion?" The Prophet said: "Yes! by Him who sent me with Prophet hood! They will be guided by his light, and benefit from his leadership during his seclusion, just as people benefit from the sun even though it is hidden in the clouds. O Jabir! This is from the hidden secrets of Allah and the treasured knowledge of Allah. So guard it except from the people who deserve to know."
He is Sofot Allah .
Hazrat Abu Zar Ghafari said by holding the door of Ka'ba that he heard the Holy Prophet saying " My Ahlal Bait are like the boat of Nuh, one who got in, got the success , and one who failed to do so has ended himself in vain and loss.

Allah (swt) says about the Prophet (s):
"Verily you are a Warner and for every nation there is a Guide"
"I am Warner and Ali is the guide, he (s) then turned to Ali and said 'Ali
people will be guided through you'".
He was the only man to be titled as the "Second Aaron" by the Prophet (PBUH&HF) .
The honor of owning a house which opened into the courtyard of the Prophet's (PBUH&HF) mosque was reserved for Imam Ali (as) alone .
He was the first to have the honor of being nominated by the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) as his succesor, testator and vice regent.
Imam Mohammad Baqir (A.S.) and Imam from his forefathers up to hazrat Ali (A.S.) , Hassan Massana from his father hazrat Imam Hassan (A.S.) and Imam from his father hazrat Ali (A.S.) , Hasham bin Hassan from Imam Hussain (A.S.) , Ammash from Imam Jafar Sadeq (A.S.) and the Imam from his fore fathers . In all the above mentioned series of references the Holy Prophet said, " The stars are protection for the inhabitants of sky when the star will finish the inhabitants of sky will also finish and the same way my Ahlal Bait are the protection for the inhabitants of earth, when my Ahlal Bait will pass away from the earth the earth along with its all being will collapse.
Further in the same rewayaat the holy prophet said that I am going to leave two precious things among you and they are the book of Allah ( Quran ) and my Ahlal - Bait. If you (the direct address is to Sahabah Karam ) keep yourself linked with both of them you will never be misguided from the right path of Allah . Still this rewayat is continuing, but here I will comment a bit. From the saying of holy prophet it is very clear that to be with Quran and Ahlal Bait is the guarantee of right path . They are the standard of right path Sahabah Karam and all other ummah have to be faithfully link themselves to them to insure that their are following the right path.
The Quran and the Ahlal Bait are the standard and the whole ummah including Sahaba Karam are those who are to adapt the standard, and it is very clear to every sensible being that standard and those who are to adapt standard can never be of the same status.
Further in the same Rewayat the Holy Prophet said learn from them and don't teach them because they are given a knowledge from God which you do not have. To Allah they are highly respectable beings.
From ibn Abbas the holy prophet said, " Do not imagine any one to be as my Ahlal Bait.
Only Hazrat Ali a.s recognized Allah & Rasool s.a.w.
Only I s.a.w recognized Allah & Hazrat Ali a.s.
Only Allah recognized Me s.a.w & Hazrat Ali a.s.

Narrated by ibn-a- Abbas one day, one jew of Medina name Nasal came to holy prophet and asked few questions, his first question was about Tauheed, the holy prophet replied in detail. His second question was that every prophet has his special descendent called "Wassi " as Haroon was the Wassi of our prophet Musa so who is your Wassi ,The Holy Prophet replied that Ali is my Wassi after that the two Sibt Hassan and Hussain and after them the nine from the generation of Hussain, then Nasal said , tell me their names also. The Holy Prophet said that after Hussain his son Zain-ul-Abideen and after him his son Mohammed Baqer, than after him his son Jafar-e-Sadeq, and then after him his son Mussa-e-Kazim and then his son Ali Raza and then his son Mohammad Taqi and after him his son Ali Naqi and after him his son Hassan Askari and lastly his son Mohammad Mehdi will be the Imam.
The next question of the Nasal was that how Ali, Hassan and Hussain will pass away from this world. The holy prophet said Ali will die with the result of hitting of sword, Hassan will be given poison and then Hussain will be slaughtered. Again he questioned what will be their status in the next world the Holy Prophet replied in the Heaven with me in my status. Upon this Jew Nasal said that I give the evidence that there is no God except that one and Mohammad (A.S.) is his prophet and all above mentioned people are your Ousia,
I myself have gone through these facts in the books of former prophets and our prophet Mussa took the oath of all these facts from us.
Further Hazrat Mussa told us that in the last era one prophet named Mohammed and Ahmed will come , he will be the last messenger of God.
He will have twelve Ousia the first will be his cousin and then two brothers The ummah will kill the first wasi with sword the second will be given poison and the third will be slaughtered with all his relatives and friends . Then there will be the nine Imams in the generation of third one and these are equal to the number of Usbate.
The holy prophet asked that do you know the Usbate. He replied yes I know them they were twelve person the first of them was Ladhe bin Barchia who disappeared and again appeared the
Holy Prophet said that my eleventh son will also disappear and such a time will come that only the name of Islam will be left , at a such a critical time God will permit him to reappear and to re-dominate Islam again, the good news of well be for those who will follow and help him and those will oppose him will face ultimate destruction .

"Please do, Apostle of God," he replied."Both I, myself, and you have been
created from one (piece of) clay.

Resurrection (all) the people will

Holy Prophet asked to see that who is on the door ? Hazrat Ans Bin Malik went to the door and said , Ya Rasulallah , Ammar Yaser has come ,on this Holy Prophet said let the Ammar Yaser come in. When Ammar Yaser came in the Holy Prophet said " O, Ammar see ! very soon many unpleasant events will appear in my ummah , People will kill each other with swords when you see such things be firmly with one who is on my right and pointed to Ali.
If all the people (here all people means all Sahaba Karam because they were the people of that time ) are walking in one valley and alone Ali is walking in other valley , you leave all of them and be with Ali because Ali will never let you to be away from the right path and will never let you to drop in the errantry .
Further Holy Prophet said , Ya Ammar be sure that obedience to Ali is my obedience and my obedience is the obedience of God. ( Today after more than 1400 years passed we know these sayings of Holy Prophet about Hazrat Ali and the people of same period who were fighting with their naked swords with Ali were not aware of these sayings of Holy Prophet, Surely they were knowing all this but still they were the worse enemy of Ali because they were badly driven by their Nafse Amara and Shatain and were controlled by both of them.

He then said: "O Fatima I smell a sweet fragrance and so pure which is like of my Brother and my Cousin, The Holy Prophet of Allah." I replied: "Yes. He is sitting covered underneath that Vestment with both of your sons." Ali(A.S.) then went near to the Vestment and said: "Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah; May I enter the Vestment with You?"
He replied: "And upon you be peace, my brother, my legatee, my successor and my standard bearer; I give you permission to enter." So Ali(A.S.) entered under the Vestment with them.
Then I myself approached the group sitting underneath the Vestment and requested. "Peace be onto you, my Father, O Prophet of Allah; do you permit me also to enter." He replied: "And upon you be peace, my daughter, O part of myself, I give you permission to enter." So I myself entered and sat under the Vestment with them all.
When all of us had gathered together covered over and sitting underneath the holy Vestment, my Father, took hold of the two ends of the Vestment and raised his right hand in Prayer towards The Heavens saying,
"Allah, these are The People of my Ahlul-Bayt and very specially my Own and my Protectors.
They are of my own flesh and of my own blood.
Whoever gives them trouble, gives me trouble too;
Whoever makes them unhappy, makes me unhappy too,
I am at war with those who are at war with them,
I am at peace with those who are at peace with them.
I am the enemy of those who are at enemy with them;
I am the friend of those who befriend them.
Indeed they are from me, and I am from them.
Therefore, send Thy blessings, mercy, forgiveness, and pleasure upon me and upon them. Remove all blemish from them and keep away all kinds of impurity from them."
Then Allah The Majestic and The Glorified, spoke to His AngelsThen The Archangel Gabriel, the Trusted One, asked Allah. "O Lord, who are these sitting covered under the Vestment? "Allah, The Majestic, The Glorified, answered, The Archangel Gabriel then requested, "O Lord, may I go down, and be the Sixth of Them? "Allah replied The Archangel Gabriel Al-Ameen, descended down to the Earth and said, "Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah. The All Highest conveys His peace on you and His salutation, and He has sworn by His Honor and Glory that He has not created, but the erected Sky, the spread Earth, the illuminated Moon, the bright Sun, the rotating Universe, the flowing Seas, and the sailing Ships but for your sake and your love. God has given me permission to enter and sit with all of you underneath the Vestment.. Do you also grant me that permission, O Prophet of Allah?"
The Prophet replied, "And upon you be peace, O thou who art the Trusted with The Revelations of Allah; yes I grant you permission to enter." So The Archangel Gabriel entered and sat beneath the Vestment with us all, and said to my Father that indeed Allah has sent this revelation to you;
"Verily Allah desires to keep away all blemish from you, O Ahlul-Bayt, and to purify you with a perfect purification."
Then Ali (A.S.) asked my father, "O Prophet of Allah what significance does Allah attach to this Event of our sitting gathered together underneath this Vestment?" The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) replied, "I swear by Him who appointed me a Prophet and chose me a confident Messenger, that no assembly,
Wherever this Event is narrated by our followers and devotees, shall remain without the Mercy of Allah descending on them, and encircling Angels as king Allah for the remission of their sins till the assembly has dispersed." Ali (A.S.) then exclaimed, "I swear by Allah the Lord of The Kaba, that we have all succeeded and our all followers have succeeded too."
Again The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) said, "I swear by Him who appointed me a Prophet and chose me a confident Messenger that in any of the assemblies on the Earth, in which our followers and friends have gathered, wherever this Event is narrated there shall remain none grieved, but Allah will remove his grief ; there shall be none distressed, but Allah will dispell his distress, and there shall be none who seeks a wish, but Allah will grant his wish.
Ali (A.S.) then said, "Verily, by Allah, We have succeeded and become happy so also all our followers have succeeded and become happy in this world as well as in the next world by the Lord of The Kaba. O Allah, send Thy Blessings on to Muhammad (S.A.W.) and The Descendents of Muhammad (S.A.W.)."

He exhorted (us) (to hold fast) to the Book of Allah and then said: The second are the members of my household I remind you (of your duties) to the members of my family. He (Husain) said to Zaid: Who are the members of his household? Aren't his wives the members of his family? Thereupon he said: His wives are the members of his family (but here) the members of his family are those for whom acceptance of Zakat is forbidden.
And he said: Who are they? Thereupon he said: 'Ali and
the offspring of 'Ali, 'Aqil and the offspring of 'Aqil and the offspring of
Ja'far and the offspring of 'Abbas. Husain said: These are those for whom
the acceptance of Zakat is forbidden. Zaid said: Yes.
Ibn Namir told us that
Abd Al-Malik (Ibn Abi-Sulayman) told us according to
Attia Al-`ufi who said: I asked Zayd Ibn Arqam and I told him that some
people told me a hadeeth according to you about Ali (rah) in the day of
Ghadeer Khumm and I want to hear it from you. So Zayd said: You people of
Iraq, you have what you have. I told him: Do not worry about me. He said:
Yes we were in Al-Juhfa and the prophet(peace be upon him) came to us
holding the hands of Ali (rah) and said: O people don't you know that I am <awla>
with the believers from their selves. They said: Yes. He said: <man kuntu
mawlaah fa Ali mawlaah>. [Attia] said: Did he say: <Allahumma waali man
waalah wa `ad man `adaah> (O Allah: Befriend
whosoever befriends him and be the enemy of whosoever is hostile to him). [Zayd]
said: I told you as I heard it.
The Prophet ( peace be upon him ) tell the people "man kuntu mawlah fa Ali mawlah"
He is Murder of Umero ibn e Abdod .
He was Murder of Murhab .
Jabir b. 'Abd Allah Ansari
related from the Prophet another widely quoted hadith in which the latter
said:
The two sons of 'Ali [Hasan and Husayn] are the leaders of the youths of Paradise.
They are my sons. 'Ali, his two sons, and the Imams after them, are the Proof
of God's existence among the people. They are my gates of knowledge in the
community. Any one who follows them will be saved from the Hell Fire; and
any one who accepts them as his leader has found the way to guidance. God
does not bless any one with their love without making them worthy of the Paradise.
The Prophet told Fatima: The two grandsons of this community are among us. These are Hasan and Husayn who are the masters of the youths of Paradise. By God, their father is more excellent than they. I solemnly declare in the name of the One who has sent me as a prophet that the Mahdi of this community will emerge from among these two sons of yours at the time when chaos will rule.
The Prophet, according to Imam 'Ali, used to ask him to write down what he said. 'Ali asked him if the Prophet thought 'Ali might forget.
The Prophet said: "No, because I have prayed to God to make you among those who remembers things and records them. However, I want you to preserve it for your companions and the Imams who will come after you. It is because of the blessed existence of the Imams that the rain falls on earth for the people, their prayers get accepted, the calamities go by them and mercy descends on them." Then the Prophet pointed towards Hasan and said: "This is the second in the line of the Imams," and added, "the Imams will be from the descendants of Husyan."
The Persons who loves me , also love with Hazrat Iman Hassan a.s ,Hazrat Imam Hussian a.s , Hazrat Imam Ali a.s , Hazrat Fatima a.s & my Ahl-bat a.s , he will with me in the Paradise .& Allah also love those persons who love with the.

Read this hadeeth from
Bukhari volume 5, Book 59 Number 637:
In other narrations (al-tirmithi
and ahmed), in addition to the above, the prophet said: "O buraida man kuntu
mawlah fa Ali mawlah"
(As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are
the best of men. Holy Qur'an (98:7)
On the revelation of this verse, the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said: "0
Ali, these are you and
your followers.

Our sixth Imam Jaffer Sadiq (as) says that the Holy Prophet (saw) has made some specific mention to Imam Ali (as) while making his testament:
"O Ali, I advise you emphatically to adopt certain habits for yourself", then after having enumerated the habits, he prayed: "O Allah, help Ali to remain steadfast with those habits", among them,
He mentioned: "O Ali, never miss Namaze Shab", stressing this thrice.
He is Victories of Tahif .
The Messenger of Allah told Ali: Allah ordered me to bring you nearer not
to distance you, and to teach
you so that you would retain it in, as it is Allah s promise to let you retain
it in. Then this verse
was revealed: '...and that the Retaining ears might retain it'. "Surely as for
those who believe and do
good deeds for them will Allah bring about love. Holy Qur'an (19:96) Once the
Prophet told Ali:
"0 Ali, say: 0 Allah, grant me your covenant, and place my love in the bosoms
of the believers, then the said
verse was revealed in Ali's favour .

Sofyan Bin Aniah said that I heard from my father who heard from Imam Jafar Bin Mohammed ( A.S,) and the Imam narrated through his fore- fathers up to Holy Prophet , that in the Khum -e- Ghadeer when people ( Sahaba Karam ) were called up, when all gathered the Holy Prophet held the hand of Hazrat Ali raised it up and said " All those to whom I am a master , Ali is their master .

Al-bayhaqi narrates from Abu sa'eed that Ali prevented them from riding the camels of the sadaqa that they acquired. He then made a person to be their leader and went to the Prophet (peace be upon him). When Ali came back, he found that their leader gave them permission to ride the camels. When Ali saw that, he became angry and he blamed the leader.
(In another narration, it mentions that they were new clothes that Ali prevented them from wearing but they wear them despite his orders). Abu sa'eed said that when we went back to madina, we mentioned to the prophet the harshness that we have seen from Ali. The prophet said: Stop O saad ibn Malik: O By Allah I have known that he is done good for the sake of Allah.
He is whose love & regard ensues Prophet s.a.w consent / agreement / raza .
He is whose love & affection is a guarantee of forgiveness for unbelievable .
He is whose belief is the most firm , straight & true then all the objects found in the universe .
Ibn Katheer said that the
people in the army started to talk about Ali (rah) because he prevented them
from riding the camels and took back the new clothes that they acquired.
Because of that, after the prophet ( peace be upon him ) was done with the
Hajj and while returning back to Madina, he stopped to explain to the people
how some of the qualities of Ali and stress the closeness of Ali to him and
the importance of loving Ali. He did so to remove what was in many of the
hearts of some of the people against Ali.
That's why the prophet (
peace be upon him ) delayed talking about this topic until they were close
to Madina and he didn't talk about it in Makkah during the Hajj. On the day
of Arafa, the prophet ( peace be upon him ) spoke to the people and and he
never mentioned this topic at all. After he finished his sermon, he said
"Did I convey the message" and the people said "Yes" then he said "O Allah
be my witness".
Ali is immersed in the Essence of God, the Exalted.
These are the ones that the Prophet( peace
be upon him ) talked to when he said: "man ..".
Jabir ibn `Abd Allah said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah - upon whom be God's peace and benedictions - in the course of his hajj pilgrimage on the day of `Arafah. The Prophet (S) was seated on his camel, alQaswa', and was delivering a sermon. I heard him say: 'O people, I am leaving among you that which if you hold on to you shall never go astray: the Book of Allah and my kindred, my household.(Ahalul Bait)".
When the Messenger of Allah (A) returned from
the last hajj and came down at Ghadir Khumm....
"Then he declared: 'I am about to answer the call (of death). Verily, I have
left two precious things (thaqalayn) among you, one of which is
greater than the other: the Book of God and my `Itrah, my Ahl alBayt. So watch out how you treat them after me. For, indeed, they will never
separate until they return to me by the side of the Pond.' Then he said,
'Verily, God is my master (mawlaya) and I am the wali of every
believer.' Then he took `Ali's hand and declared, 'To whomever I am his wali, this one is also his wali. My God, befriend whoever befriends him and
be hostile to whoever is hostile to him.'" Abu alTufayl says: "I said to Zayd,
'Did you hear it from the Prophet(S)?' He replied, 'There was no one in the
caravan who did not see it with his eyes and hear it with his ears,'"
It is narrated that he (i.e. the Prophet) - upon whom be peace - said in the last sermon that he delivered during his illness: "O people, I leave behind two precious things (thaqalayn) amongst you...: the Book of God - which is a rope between Him and you, whose one end is in His hand and whose other end is in your hands so act according to its muhkamat and believe in its mutashabihat; consider as lawful that which it regards as lawful and consider as forbidden that which it regards as unlawful - and my `Itrah and my Ahl alBayt, who are the second thaql. So don't outstrip them (fa la tasbiquhum ), for then you shall perish."
The Messenger of Allah (S) said during his last illness: "Soon I am going to pass away and I have extended to you my plea of excuse. Lo, verily I leave behind amongst you two precious things: the Book of Allah , the Almighty and the Glorious, and my kindred (`Itrah)." Then he took `Ali's hand and raised it, saying, "This `Ali is with the Qur'an and the Qur'an is with `Ali. The two will not separate until they return to me by the Pond. Then I will ask the two as to how they were treated after me."
Prophet (S):Seek guidance with the guidance of `Ammar. Ammar himself was one of the staunch followers (shi`ah) of `Ali (A) and had been instructed by the Prophet (S) to obey and follow `Ali (A):
[The Prophet (S) said to `Ammar:] O `Ammar, `Ali will not divert you from guidance. O `Ammar, obedience to `Ali is obedience to me, and obedience to me is obedience to God, Almighty and Glorious.
Holy Prophet said, " On the door of Jannah it is written "Laaelaha Illalla, Mohammad dur Rasullala, Ali un Waliullah " ( So called Muslim and the enemy of Ali will never like to go in that Jannah where Ali un Waliullah is written because he will take it as Imambarah and it should be, because in this world the Imambarah is the house of Imam Hussain and in the next world the Jannah is the entire property of Hussain as Holy Prophet said " Hassan & Hussain are the lords of all young lots of Jannah "
The Person who loves heartily & deeply with Hazrat Imam Hassan a.s , Hazrat Imam Hussian a.s , Hazrat Imam Ali a.s , Hazrat Fatima a.s & my Ahl-bat a.s , he will with me in the Paradise .& Allah also love those persons , who loves with them.
Holy Prophet said, " O, Ali no one will love you except Momin and no one will be your enemy but Monafiq.
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: indeed Allah, the exalted placed the offspring of every prophet from their own rear and placed my offspring from the rear of Ali-ibn-Ali Talib.
Abu Ayyub Ansari says: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him and his progeny) say: "I am the chief of the prophets and 'Ali is the chief of the legatees. My two grandsons are the best among the descendants. The infallible Imams will come forth from among us through Husayn. Moreover, the Mahdi of this community is among us." At that time an Arab stood up and asked: "O Prophet of God, how many Imams are there after you?" He replied: "Equal to the number of the apostles of Jesus and the chiefs of the Children of Israel."
Tradition Abu Huraira narrated:
The Prophet (PBUH) looked toward Ali, Hasan, Husain, and Fatimah (AS), and
then said: "I am in war with those who will fight you, and in peace
with those who are peaceful to you."
Anas-ibn-Malik who said: the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:- we seven, (i.e. Ali, my brother, Hamza, my uncle, Jafar, Hassan, Hussein, Mahdi and Myself) the sons of Abdul-Muttalib are the leaders of paradise.
Ali b. Abi Talib has narrated from the Prophet, who said: "Even if there remains only a day on earth, God will bring forth a man from my progeny so that he will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with tyranny.
The Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hf) then immediately prayed 'two Rakas' on the spot, so as to commemorate the historic occassion. And when he had finished his prayers. It was then time for the noon prayers and Balaal once again he cried Prayer Call. But this time it was made for the compulsory Noon Prayers.
After The Prophet(pbuh&hf) finished leading the noon prayers. He called Ali (as) to follow him into his tent that was pitched under a tree and sat himself opposite to him.
The Great Apostle of God (pbuh&hf), then ordered all the Muslims and his Companions to each personally make an oath of allegiance to Ali(as) in his very presence. Then all the Muslims formed a long queue and each gave his 'Oath of Allegiance' with
The Holy Prophet Mohammad (pbuh&hf), standing by Ali (as), accepting their congratulations and looking on as personal witness to their attestments and the occassion. Congratulating Ali upon his appointment As soon as the last Muslim had given his pledge of Allegiance.
The Prophet(pbuh&hf) embraced Ali(as) warmly and congratualed him on his appointment, as his Successor and Caliph over all the Muslims after his death. The joyious crowd surrounding them were moved greatly at the sacred sight before them. They then all shouted their approval and wept with sheer happiness.
The Prophet Mohammad(pbuh&hf) proudly praising Ali(as) and named him officially
as,
Al-Ameer Al-Mu'maneen
Meaning, The Commander of all the faithfull.
.
Am I not more appropriate to
rule over you than yourselves ?"The people replied in earnest,
"By God. Yes you are !"He continued by taking hold of both Ali's (as)
arms and raised them high above his shoulders, so much so that his sleeves
slipped down his arms and rested on his shoulders, exposing Ali's (as) naked
white armpits.
The Prophet (pbuh&hf) went on to proclaimed that Ali (as) as his successor and the legitimate Calipha of Allah (swt).
Hazrat Muhammed s.a.w says , Ya-Ali a.s please now Moomen has 3 qualities , Fast , Namaz , & Sadka .
He is Ali a.s .
The Messenger of Allah was asked as to who
his near relatives were whose love has been made obligatory
for the Muslims? The Prophet replied: "Ali, Fatima and their two sons (Hasan
and Husain).
He is Shaheed fi Sabil Allah .
The Almighty says: .... .you are only a
warner, and (there is) a guide for every people. Holy Qur'an (13:7)
It is stated that when this verse was revealed, the Messenger of Allah placing
his hand on his chest said:
"I am the warner, and for every people there is a guide. Then pointing towards
Imam Ali (a.s.), he said:
You are the guide, Ali, by you the believers will be guided after me .
He is Hadi Ba Amir Allah .
The Almighty says: "Is he who is a believer
like him who is a transgressor? They are not equal . Holy Qur'an (32:18)
All authoritative books mention that the verse refers to Imam Ali (a.s.), a
believer and describes Walid ibn Uqba. as a transgressor.
I am the City of Knowledge, and 'Ali is its Gate.
'The messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said:- 'verily Allah resolved this religion by the hands of Ali. then, when he is killed, the religion shall deteriorate until Mahdi comes and rectifies it.'
Hazrat Muhammed s.a.w says , Ya-Ali a.s 2 faces has 3 qualities , when he talk he tell a lie , when he promise , he broke it & when we give any thing to him , he did not deliver it .
O Ali , You and your Shia are the best of the created beings.
The Almighty says: "Is he, then (to be counted equal to them) who was clear proof from his Lord, and a witness from Him recites... Holy Qur'an (11:17). "He who has a dear proof, means Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.), while "the Witness from Him" means Imam Ali (a.s.)
One of the companions of the Holy Prophet Jabir Ibn Abdallah Ansari was in the presence of the Holy Prophet. He asked the Prophet about the names of descendants from his daughter Hazrat Fatima and Ali (AS). The Prophet told him, “O Jabir, you will have a long life, and although you will go blind, but you will meet the 5th in line of my descendants whose name will be my name, who will walk like me and who will be the 5th Imam of the time. When you will meet him, give my salaams to him.
Holy prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: 'the night when i was being taken towards the heaven .... (and he narrated the same tradition so far as Allah says): 'o Muhammad, do you wish to meet them? i replied: 'yes my lord'. then Allah said: "look towards the right of 'Arsh' (throne)." as i looked i suddenly saw Ali, Hassan, Hussein, Ali-ibn-Hussein, Muhammad-ibn-Ali, Jafar-ibn-Muhammad, Musa-ibn-Jafar, Ali-ibn-Musa, Muhammad-ibn-Ali, Ali-ibn-Muhammad; Hassan-ibn-Ali and muhammad-ibn-hassan mahdi. amongst them, perhaps mahdi appeared like a sparkling star. thereafter He said: 'O Muhammad, they are my Hujjats (proofs) upon my servants and they are your legatees.'
'O Jabir, verily my legatees and the leaders of the muslims after me are firstly ali followed by Hassan, Hussein, Ali-ibn-Hussein, Muhammad-ibn-Ali famous as 'Baqir'. very soon you shall meet him and when you do so, send my greetings to him. after him shall come Jafer-ibn-muhammad, Musa-ibn-Jafar, Ali-ibn-Musa, Muhammad-ibn-Ali, Ali-ibn-Muhammad, Hassan-ibn-Ali and the 'Qaim' successively. his name shall be the same as my name and his agnomen too shall be the same as mine. he is the son of Hassan-ibn-Ali and the one through whom god shall relieve the east and west. he shall remain hidden from his friends such that they will not remain steadfast in his imamate except those whom god has tested their hearts through faith.
People asked Hazrat: who is your brother? he replied: 'Ali'. again he was asked: who is your son? he replied: 'Mahdi'
'I am the chief of the Prophets and Ali the chief of legatees. verily the legatees after me are twelve in number. the first of them is Ali and the last is Mahdi.'
Amir-ul-Mumineen Ali-ibn-Abi
Talib (a.s.) that the holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:-
'whenever the caller shall cry out from the heavens that the truth can be
found in Muhammad's household, Mahdi shall emerge at that very moment.
'Truth is with Ali and Ali is with truth. there shall be no separation between the two until they meet me near the fountain'
Ali-ibn-Abi Talib (a.s.) that the
holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:-
'Whenever the caller shall cry out from the heavens that the truth can be
found in Muhammad's household, Mahdi shall emerge at that very moment.
“The prophet of Allah (S.a.w.) said: “I am the master of the prophets, who will come after me are twelve, the first one of whom is Ali and the last one is al-Mahdi, who will revolt against injustice.
Behold! My Ahlul-Bayt are like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarked in it was SAVED,and whoever turned away from it was PERISHED.
Lord Who distinguished Muhammad
and His descendants with Excellence;
Entrusted them with Thy mission;
And favored them with Thy privilege (of intercession);
Who made them The Heirs to The Prophets;
Who sealed upon them the succession and Guardianship of the Religion;
Who taught them The knowledge of all what was and all that remains;
Who made the hearts for mankind yearn for them.
As the stars in the sky are the Source of guidance to the travellers, The
Holy Ones of my Ahlal Bait ( The Twelve Imams) are The Source of Guidance
for the people. And, as the stars will remain in the sky until The Day of
Judgment, The earth will never be without a Divinely Guide from My Ahlal Bait,
That is an Imam".
In this place, the following verse of the Qur'an was revealed: "O Apostle! Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord; and if you don't do it, you have not delivered His message (at all); and Allah will protect you from the people ..." (Qur'an 5:67) The last sentence in the above verse indicates that the Prophet [s] was mindful of the reaction of his people in delivering that message but Allah informs him not to worry, for He will protect His Messenger from people.
Upon receiving the verse, the Prophet [s] stopped on that place (the pond of Khumm) which was extremely hot. Then he sent for all people who have been ahead in the way, to come back and waited until all pilgrims who fell behind, arrived and gathered. He ordered Salman [r] to use rocks and camel toolings to make a pulpit (minbar) so he could make his announcement. It was around noon time in the first of the Fall, and due to the extreme heat in that valley, people were wrapping their robes around their feet and legs, and were sitting around the pulpit, on the hot rocks. On this day the Messenger of Allah [s] spent approximately five hours in this place; three hours of which he was on the pulpit. He recited nearly one hundred verses from The Glorious Quran, and for seventy three times reminded and warned people of their deeds and future. Then he gave them a long speech. The Messenger of Allah [s] declared:
"It seems the time approached when I shall be called away (by Allah) and I shall answer that call. I am leaving for you two precious things and if you adhere to them both, you will never go astray after me. They are the Book of Allah and my Progeny, that is my Ahlul Bayt. The two shall never separate from each other until they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)."
Then the Messenger of Allah continued: "Do I not have more right over the believers than what they have over themselves?" people cried and answered: "Yes, O' Messenger of God."
Then followed the key sentence denoting the clear designation of 'Ali as the leader of the Muslim ummah. The Prophet [s] held up the hand of 'Ali and said:
"For whoever I am his Leader (mawla), 'Ali is his Leader (mawla)."
The Prophet [s] continued: "O' God, love those who love him, and be hostile to those who are hostile to him."
Immediately after the Prophet [s] finished his speech, the following verse of the Qur'an was revealed: "Today I have perfected your religion and completed my favour upon you, and I was satisfied that Islam be your religion." (Qur'an 5:3)
The above verse clearly indicates that Islam without clearing up matter of leadership after Prophet [s] was not complete, and completion of religion was due to announcement of the Prophet's immediate successor. Immediately after the Prophet's speech, Hassan b. Thabit, the Companion and poet of the Messenger of Allah [s], asked for his permission to compose a few verses of poetry about Imam 'Ali [a] for the audience. The Prophet [s] said: "Say with the blessings of Allah". Hassan stood up and said: "O' people of Quraysh. I follow with my words what preceded and witnessed by the Messenger of Allah [s]. He then composed the following verses at the scene:
He calls them, (on) the day of Ghadir, their Prophet
In Khumm so hear (and heed) the Messenger's call,
He said: "Who is your guide and leader? (mawlakum
wa waliyyukum)" They said, and there was no apparent blindness (clearly):
"Your God, our guide, and you are our leader
And you won't find from among us, in this, any disobedient,"
He said to him: "Stand up O' Ali, for I am
pleased to announce you Imam and guide after me (min ba'di
imam(an) wa hadiy(an)),
So whomever I was his leader (mawla),
then this is his leader (mawla)
So be to him supporters in truth and followers,"
There he prayed: "Allah! Be a friend and guide to his follower
And be, to the one who is Ali's enemy, an enemy".
After his speech, the Messenger of Allah [s] asked everybody to give the oath of allegiance to 'Ali [a] and congratulate him. Among those who did so was 'Umar b. al-Khattab, who said: "Well done Ibn Abi Talib! Today you became the Leader (mawla) of all believing men and women."
Allah ordered His Prophet [s] to inform the people of this designation at a time of crowded populous so that all could become the narrators of the tradition, while they exceeded a hundred thousand.
Narrated by Zayd b. Arqam: Abu al-Tufayl said: "I heard it from the Messenger of Allah [s], and there was no one (there) except that he saw him with his eyes and heard him with his ears."
The Prophet [s] reached Madinah. It is recorded that:
On the day of Ghadir the Messenger of Allah summoned the people toward 'Ali and said: "Ali is the mawla of whom I am mawla." The news spread quickly all over urban and rural areas. When Harith Ibn Nu'man al-Fahri (or Nadhr Ibn Harith according to another tradition) came to know of it, he rode his camel and came to Madinah and went to the Messenger of Allah [s] and said to him: "You commanded us to testify that there is no deity but Allah and that you are the Messenger of Allah. We obeyed you. You ordered us to perform the prayers five times a day and we obeyed. You ordered us to observe fasts during the month of Ramadhan and we obeyed. Then you commanded us to offer pilgrimage to Makkah and we obeyed. But you are not satisfied with all this and you raised your cousin by your hand and imposed him upon us as our master by saying `Ali is the mawla of whom I am mawla.' Is this imposition from Allah or from you?"
The Prophet [s] said : "By Allah who is the only deity! This is from Allah, the Mighty and the Glorious." On hearing this Harith turned back and proceeded towards his she-camel saying: "O Allah! If what Muhammad said is correct then fling on us a stone from the sky and subject us to severe pain and torture." He had not reached his she-camel when Allah, who is above all defects, flung at him a stone which struck him on his head, penetrated his body and passed out through his lower body and left him dead. It was on this occasion that Allah, the exalted, caused to descend the following verses: "A questioner questioned about the punishment to fall. For the disbelievers there is nothing to avert it, from Allah the Lord of the Ascent." (70:1-3)
After this great event of Haj & Gadeerwhen Holy Prophet reached Medina the news of Ghadeer spread every where that Ali is the master of every Muslim. one man ,a Muslim of that time ( Is he not Sahabi ?) but enemy of Hazrat Ali ,named Haras bin Nooman Faheri came to the mosque of Holy Prophet in a very aggressive mood and shouted Ya Mohammad ! You told us about God we believed , You told us about your Prophet hood we believed , You asked for prayer we did, You ordered to keep fast we obeyed you, You asked for Zakah we gave, was it not sufficient ? that you made Ali as our master, just tell me that this order is from you or from God ? The Holy Prophet replied that this order is from God. On this the most unlucky person said that if it is from God than ask the God to drop a stone on me ! ! ( just think , such people were there in Medina who preferred Azab-e-Ilahi than to accept Ali as their master.) As he left the mosque a stone dropped from the sky on his head and he died on the spot. ( I will say that he hurried, if he could have waited for few months more things were going to happen of his choice. After the death of Holy Prophet same happened what he wanted . Very important point to be considered is , that what he said , We believed in God, We believed in Risalat We prayed , We kept fast ,We gave Zaka but in spite of all he faced a horrible end only because that he did not accept the Welayat of Ali, he did not accept Ali as his master so every thing went in vain. Therefore, it is lesson for all those who have not accepted Ali as their master and putting their best in Ebadaat must know that their end is not going to be different than Haras bin Nooman .The second important point to think is that this man only opposed Ali but did not take the sword and fight against Ali and reached to this terrible end what about those who physically fought with their naked sword against Ali ? ?? )
Holy Prophet said " If any one keeps standing between Hajre Aswad and Maqam-e-Ibraheem for his whole life and prays and fasts but has enmity with Ahlal Bait will be thrown in the Hell.
Narrated by Hazrat Ali (A.S.) "Holy Prophet said Ya Fatima God gets angry with your anger and God pleasures with your pleasure " ( And it is very clear that Hazrat Zahra was very angry with some of the people among the ummah )
Further Holy Prophet said , Ya Ammar be sure that obedience to Ali is my obedience and my obedience is the obedience of God.
Addressing to the people ( Sahabah Karam ) Holy Prophet said " Look ! Do not get ahead and do not get back from my Ahlal Bait other wise you will put your- self in the state of destruction " It means that in every condition you have to follow them if you lead or quit them in both the condition you will be the looser, ( the history clearly indicates that the people adapted both the extremes.)
Holy Prophet said " The love of Ahlal Bait is must for you because if any one who meets the God in a state that one's loves us the God will gift him Heaven due to our Shafa'at, I swear to God that no one will be benefited by his good deeds till he loves and cares of our status ".
Calamity shall befall this nation such that a person will fail in finding any shelter from it. thereafter Allah will appoint a man from my Ahl-e-Bayt
who will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it was previously filled with cruelty and
tyranny....

"O People! This is the last time that I shall stand in this assembly. Therefore listen to me and obey and submit to the command of Lord. Verily Allah, He is your Lord and God.

Then after him leadership will continue through some selected individuals in my descendants till the day you meet Allah and His Prophet."
"Behold! Certainly you shall meet your Lord and He will ask you about your deeds. Beware! Do not become infidels after me by striking the necks of one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform what I said to those who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it) better than some of the present audience.

On that day (the Battle of Badr), I heard the Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, speak to Fatima, peace be on her, when she came to him weeping and saying: "O Apostle of God, the women of Quraysh are reviling me because of the poverty of 'AIi peace be on him." "Aren't you satisfied that I have married you to the first Muslim and the most knowledgeable of them?" the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, asked her. "Indeed, God, the Most High, looked thoroughly over the people of the earth and chose your father from them and made him a Prophet. Then He looked over them a second time and chose your (present) husband (ba'l) and made him a trustee of authority (wasi). God inspired me to marry you to him. Didn't you know, Fatima, that through God's kindness to you, your husband is the greatest of men in clemency, the most knowledgeable of men and the first of them in Islam."
Fatima laughed and rejoiced. Then the Prophet, may God bless him and his family, continued: "Fatima, 'Ali has eight molar teeth. No one before and after him will have the like.
He is my brother in the world and the hereafter.
No one else of the people has that (rank). Fatima,
The mistress of the women of heaven, is his wife.
The grandsons of mercy, my grandsons, will be his sons.
His brother, who will be adorned by two wings in heaven, will fly with the angels wherever he wishes.
He has the knowledge of those who came before and those who will come after.

Ali was the most loved person before God and the Prophet, and thus naturally the best of those who are loved.

Umm Ayman brought a chicken dish before the Prophet and said: `Messenger of Allah! I have caught this chicken myself and cooked it for you.' He said: `O God! Send the best of (Thy) slaves that he may share with me in eating this chicken.' At that very moment someone knocked on the door and the Prophet said to me: `Anas! Open the door.' I said: `May God make it a man of the Ansar!' But I found 'Ali in front of the door, and I said: `The Prophet is busy.' Then I returned to stand in my place. Again there was a knock at the door, and the Prophet said: `Open the door.' Again I prayed that it would be someone from the Ansar. I opened the door and again it was 'Ali. I said: `The Prophet is busy.' Then I returned to stand in my place. Yet again there was a knock at the door, and the Prophet said: `Anas, go and open the door, and bring him in. You are not the first person to love your own people; that is not one of the Ansar. I went and brought 'Ali in, and he ate the chicken dish with the Prophet."

The Prophet asked her to call her husband (All) and her two sons, Hasan and Husain. She called them and as they all sat together to eat, Allah revealed the following verse to the Prophet.

Umm Salama adds that thrice the Prophet repeated these words and when she poked her head under the cloak and asked him Am I with you? In a refraining gesture, he said twice: "You are (also) among the righteoust".

A Tradition from A'isha who was a wife of the Prophet, also confirms the five persons meant in this verse. She says: once the Prophet came wrapped up in a cloak of black hair. After a while Hasan entered and he took him inside the cloak, then Husain came and joined them inside the cloak. Soon his daughter Fatima came and he took her inside also;

Another story relates how somebody presented 300 gold coins to the Holy Prophet who made a present of them to Ali. Ali immediately decided to give them away in three instalments of 100 pieces. On his way home, after finishing his night prayers, he saw a harlot, to whom he gave the first one hundred coins. Early next morning the whole town was gossiping about All's misplaced charity and how he had squandered money on a woman of ill repute. Returning home the next night, after prayers he met a man. who was to all intents and purposes a thief, yet he gave him the money. Again the people started to gossip. saying that this time All had given the money to a worthless and good-for-nothing person. On the third night he met a rich man to whom he gave the remainder of the money. At this the people again murmured against All saying that lie had wasted the money on a worthless miser. Now no money was left and All repaired to the Holy Prophet, to whom he related what had transpired.
The Holy Prophet told Ali that the angel Gabriel had visited him and informed him that God had accepted Ali's charity on all the three occasions. The harlot after getting the money had given up prostitution and had resolved to lead a chaste life; the thief after getting the money had resolved to give up larceny and had entered into honest business, and the rich man had been so ashamed at receiving alms from someone as poor as Ali that he had decided to cease hoarding wealth and give all he possessed to the poor.
