The Holy Prophet (saw) was informed by Jibra'eel about the words of Allah (the Most High) : -"When a person has faith that there is no God other than Me and that Mohammed (saw) is My servant and My Prophet and that Ali (as) is My Imam and the Imams from Ali's progeny are My Proof upon the people, then I, by My Mercy, will make him enter paradise and I will save him from the fire by My Forgiveness. I will permit him to come closer to Me. I will make Karamat obligatory for him and complete My favors upon him. I will regard him amongst My most special and pious servants. If he calls out to Me, I will answer him. If he asks Me, I will accept his prayers. If he requests me, I will grant his desires. If he is silent then I, My self, will shower mercy upon him. If he is depressed, then I will have compassion for him. If he runs away (if he is sinful), I will call him towards Me. If he returns to me, I will accept his repentance. If he Knocks at My door, I will open it for him." Ref:- Kamaluddin; chapter 24; Tradition no. 3; page no 278; Urdu

Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) said: “He who insults Ali, insults me. He who insults me insults Allah. And he who insults Allah, Allah will throw him into Hell. Mustadrak al Hakim, Vol. 3 , Khasais al Nisai Musnad of Imam Ahmed. Vol. 6 Al- Manaqaib by al-Khawarizmi ,Al-Riyadha al Nadira, by al Tabari, Vol. 2 ,Tarikh as Suyuti.
One day when the Holy Prophet (SAW) was sleeping with his head in Ali (AS) 's lap, the time of "Asr" (afternoon prayers) had passed. Informed by Divine revelation that he had caused Ali (AS) to miss his prayers, the Holy Prophet (SAW) said, "Verily, Ali (AS) was busy in the service of God and His Apostle. O Lord! Command Thy sun not to set yet and to come back into the world again so as to enable Ali (AS) to perform his prayers." The Sun re-appeared forthwith until Ali (AS) had finished his prayers.
"Fourteen thousand years before Adam, upon whom be peace, was created, I and Ali were a light in the presence of God. When God created Adam, upon whom be peace, He divided it into two parts. I am one of the parts and Ali is the other part."
Glorious Quran Chapter 3 Verse 61 , "And unto him who disputeth with thee therein after the knowledge hath come unto thee, Say! ( O' Our Apostle Muhammad!) (Unto them) come ye, let us summon our sons, and (ye summon) your sons, and (we summon) our women and (ye) your women, and (we summon) ourselves and then let us invoke the curse of God on the liars!" This verse refers to the famous event of ' Mubahila ' which took place in the year 10 A.H against the Christians of Najran. A deputation of 60 Christians of Najran headed by Abdul Masih their chief monkpriest came and discussed with the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) the personality of Hazrat Eesa ( as ). The Holy Prophet (s.a.w ) told them not to deify Jesus for he was only a mortal created by God, and not God Himself. Then they asked who the father of Jesus was. By this, they thought that since he was born without a father the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) would helplessly accept Jesus' father being God himself. In reply to this question was revealed the Verse. Verily, similitude of Jesus with God is as the similitude of Adam; He created him out of dust then said He unto him BE, and he became. When the Christians did not agree to this line of reasoning, then this verse was revealed enjoining upon the Prophet (s.a.w ) to call the Christians to Mubahila. To this the Christians agreed and they wanted to return to their place and would have the Mubahila the next day.
Early next morning the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) sent Salman al Farsi ( May Allah be well pleased with him ) to the open place, fixed outside the city for the historic event, to erect a small shelter for himself and those he intended to take along with him for the contest. On the opposite side appeared the Christian priests, while at the appointed hour the Christians witnessed the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w ) entering the field with Imam Hussain ( as ) in his lap, Imam Hasan ( as ) holding his finger, and walking beside him, Lady Fatima ( as ) and followed by Imam Ali al Murtaza ( as ). The Prophet ( as ) on reaching the appointed spot stationed himself with his daughter, her two sons and her husband, raising his hands towards the heaven said: Lord these are the People of my House . The Chief Monk on knowing that the baby in the lap of the Prophet (s.a.w) was his young grandson, Imam Hussain (as), the child walking holding the Prophet's ( s.a.w ) hand was his first grandson, Imam Hasan ( as ), the Lady behind him was daughter, his only surviving issue was Fatima ( as ) the mother of the two children and the one who followed the Lady was his son in law, the husband of Fatima ( as ), addressed the huge crowd of the people who had gathered on the spot, and addressed them saying ," By God, I see the faces which, if they pray to God for mountains to move from their places, the mountains will immediately move! " O believers in the Jesus of Nazareth, I will tell you the truth that should ye fail to enter into some agreement with Muhammad and if these souls whom Muhammad has brought with him, curse you, ye will be wiped out of existence to the last day of the life of the earth! " The people readily agreed to the advice counseled by their Leader. They beseeched the Holy Prophet ( s.a.w) to give up the idea of the agreed Mubahila and requested for themselves to be allowed to continue their faith, offering to pay ' Jizya '.- Al Tabari, Commentary of the Quran, v 2 p 192 -> 193 ,- Ghayatul Maryam, p 300 ,Sahih Muslim, v 4 p 1285 ( English Edition) ...( The third occasion is this ) when the following verse was revealed : Let us summon our children and your children. Allah's messenger (pbuh&f) called Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussain and said : O Allah, these are my family ...
Glorious Quran Chapter 3 Verse 103 , "And hold ye fast by the cord of God All together and be not divided ( among yourselves ) ..." - Thalabi records on his Commentary Tafsir al Kabir from Aban ibn Tabligh that he heard Imam Jafer as Sadiq ( as ) say: " We are the Rope of Allah about whom Allah has said: Hold fast to the Rope of Allah ..."
I will soon be called away and will have to depart from you, but , I leave among you Two ( 2 ) weighty things, the Book of Allah and my descendants. The Book of Allah is like a rope which extends from the heavens to the earth, and my descendants are my people of the house ( my Ahl al Bayt ). The Subtle and the Aware tells me that the two ( 2 ) shall never part company until they come to me at the Pool. So take care how you treat them after me. - Musnad of Ahmed Hanbal, v 3 p 17,- Musnad of Ahmed Hanbal, v 3 p 26 ,- Sahih of al Tirmizi, tradition no. 874,- Kanz al Ummal, v 1 p 47, tradition no. 945 ( for the above hadeeth ) ,- Ghayatul Maryam, p 242 ,- Yanibul Muwaddah, p 118 -> 119,- Sawaiq al Muhriqah, v 1 chapter 11,- Safinatul Biharij ( Recorded by Allama Qummi from Allama Zamakhsari ) p 193

Addressing his companion Omar, the Holy Prophet said, “O thou Omar! Should you behold that Ali is on one side and the rest of the world on the other, surely it will be incumbent on you that you should follow Ali because he would never lead any one to the path of destruction and will never relinquish the path of right.” (Jamia-ul-Saghir Sayuti)
“Whosoever wants to make his life and death like that of mine and is desirous of entering heaven, it behooves him to befriend Ali because he would neither let his friends be ejected from paradise nor allow them to enter there in ignorance.” (Tarikh-al-Khulafa)
" Awwalona Muhammad - The First one of us is Muhammad Ausatona Muhammad - The Middle one of us is Muhammad , Aakhirona Muhammad - The Last one of us is Muhammad , Kullona Muhammad - Every one of us is Muhammad." (Holy Prophet S.A.W)
The Holy Prophet in one of his Khutbas said, “God has so much exalted my brother Ali that his numerous virtues could not be counted easily: whosoever from amongst you narrated one of his excellences, God will forgive his past and future sins; and whosoever will record one of his excellences, the angels will bless him as long as his writing remains; whosoever will read about his virtues with eyes, the sins of the eye will be forgiven to him. Beware! That man is not steadfast in faith who does not love Ali and does not shun his enemies.
Abu Dharr al-Ghifari says that one day he was praying with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) when a beggar came to the Prophet’s mosque. None responded to his pleas. The beggar raised his hands towards heavens and said, Allah! Be a witness that I came to the Prophet’s Mosque and no one gave me anything. Ali (a.s.) was bowing, in ruku at that time. He pointed his little finger, on which was a ring, towards him who came forward and took away the ring. This incident occurred in the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.) presence who raised his face towards heavens and prayed : O Lord! My brother Musa had begged to You to open his chest to make his work easy for him, to loosen the knot of his tongue so that people might understand him and to appoint from among his relations his brother, as his vizier, and to strengthen his back with Harun and to make Harun his partner in his work. O Allah! You said to Musa, We will strengthen your arms with your brother. No one will now have an access to either of you! O Allah! I am Mohammed and You have given me distinction. Open my chest for me, make my work easy for me and from my family appoint my brother Ali as my vizier Strengthen my back with him. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) had not yet finished his prayers when Jibrael (a.s.) brought the above quoted verse.

Obey Allah obey His Messenger and those of authority from amongst you (Ulul Amr) ... . (Nisa : 59)
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) declared Ali ibn e Abi Talib (a.s.) has his successor and the caliph of Muslims after him (s.a.w.).
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "He who wants to see Noah (AS) in his determination, Adam (AS) in his knowledge, Abraham (AS) in his clemency, Moses (AS) in his intelligence and Jesus (AS) in his religious devotion should look at Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS)."
Ahmad Ibn Hanbal and al-Hakim recorded with authentic document from Abu Said al-Khudri, that the Apostle of God said to Ali: "Verily you will do battle for (implementation of) the Quran, as you has done for its revelation." Tarikh al-Khulafaa, by Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, p173
The Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: "There is amongst you a person who will fight for the interpretation of the Quran just as I fought for its revelation." The people around him raised their heads and cast inquisitive glances at the Prophet (PBUH&HF) and at one another. Abu Bakr and Umar were there. Abu Bakr inquired if he was that person and the Prophet (PBUH&HF) replied in the negative. Then Umar inquired if he was that person and the Prophet (PBUH&HF), replied "No. He is the one who is repairing my shoes (i.e., Ali)." Abu Said Khudri said: Then we went to Ali and conveyed the good news to him. He did not even raise his head and remained as busy as he was, as if he had already heard it from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF)." al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v3, p122, who said this tradition is genuine based on the criteria of al-Bukhari and Muslim. al-Dhahabi, also records it in his Talkhis al-Mustadrak and admitted that it is genuine according to the standard of the two Shaikhs. Khasa'is, by al-Nisa'i, p40 , Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, v3, pp 32-33 , Kanz al-Ummal, by al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, v6, p155 , Majma' al-Zawa'id, by al-Haythami, v9, p133
Also Khateeb al-Baghdadi, in his book quotes Imam Ali that: Ali said: "I was the first one to accept Islam at the hands of the Holy Prophet." Tarikh, by al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi, v4, p333
Al-Hakim recorded that Anas Ibn Malik narrated that the Holy Prophet said to Ali: " You shall inform my nation about the truth and what they dispute after me": al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v3, p112, who wrote this is an authentic Hadith according to the stipulation of the two Shaikhs (al-Bukhari and Muslim). [This would mean that the chain of narrators are considered to be authentic as stipulated by Bukhari and Muslim]
Ayat 1. “Verily, your master is only Allah and His Apostle and those who believe, those who establish prayers and pay the zakaat while bowed (in worship)”The Muslim scholars, Sunni and Shia alike, agree that this verse was revealed in honor of Imam Ali (a.s.). It clearly shows that there are only three masters of the believers. Firstly, Allah, secondly, His Prophet (s.a.w.) and thirdly Ali (a.s.) (with the eleven succeeding Imams).
The famous Sunni Historian, al-Tabari also wrote: The first three to offer prayers were Muhammad (PBUH&HF) , Khadija and Ali (AS). History al-Tabari, v2, p65
Al-Hakim also narrated that: Salman al-Farsi said that the Messenger of God said: "The first one of you to drink from the Basin on the Day of Judgment is your first Muslim, Ali, the son of Abu Talib." al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v3, p112
Ibn Abi Shaybah and Ibn Asakir recorded on the authority of Salim Ibn Abi Jaad that he said: I asked of Muhammad Ibn Hanifah, "was Abu Bakr the first of the people to adopt Islam?" He replied: "No". And Ibn Asakir on a reliable ascription from Muhammad Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas, that he said to his father Sa'd: "was Abu Bakr the first of you in embracing the faith?" He said: "No, for there were more than five people in faith before him" Ibn Kathir says: "it is clear that Muhammad's family believed before every other - his wife Khadija, his freedman Zaid and the Wife of Zaid Umm Ayman and Ali and Warakah." Tarikh al-Khulafaa, by Jalaluddin al-Suyuti, p33 (History of the Caliphs translated by Major Barrett)
Ibn Hisham recorded that: Ali Ibn Abi Talib was the first male to believe in the Messenger of God and that he prayed with him while he was only ten years old. Biography of the Prophet, by Ibn Hisham, v1, p245
The first face that little Ali (A.S.) saw in this world was the smiling face of the Apostle of Allah, Muhammad (S.A.W.), whom he greeted thus: "Assalaamo alaika ya Rasoolallah (Peace be upon thee O Prophet of Allah). Muhammad (S.A.W.) lovingly took him into his arms. The child accepted no other food other than the moisture of Muhammad's tongue, which he sucked for several days after his birth.
“The Holy Prophet brought me up in his own arms and fed me with his own morsel. I followed him wherever he went, like a baby camel which follows its mother. Each day an aspect of his character would beam out of his noble soul and I would accept it and follow it as a command.”
Ehtejaj-e-Tibrisi Page 230 Volume 1 : Tradition of Imam Jaffer-e-Sadiq [as]: From among you, who ever and where ever one says La ila ha illallah - Mohammadun Rasool Allah one should also say " Ali [as] is Amirul Momineen & wali Allah.
The man whom the Archangel Gabriel (as) said, La fata illa Ali la saif illa Zulfiqar; there is no youth like Ali and no sword like Zulfiqar."
Angles takes permission from Hazrat Imam Ali ibn e Abi Talib a.s , what to do & what not to do .& decide what to do now & what to next year .( Saroot Qadr).
"Whoever wishes to see Adam in his knowledge, Noah in his piety,
Abraham in his forbearance, Moses in his strength, and Jesus in his
worship and devotion should look at Ali ibn Abi Talib."
Hakim in his Mustadrak and Nuru'd-din Bin Sabbagh Maliki in his Fusulu'l- Muhimma, Fasl I, p.14, say: "No one before Ali (A.S.) was born in the Ka'ba. This was a distinction given to Ali (A.S.) in order to enhance his honor, rank, and dignity."

Hadhrath Ayesha narrated that Rasulullah (p) said: "Whoever kills Hajr will incur the wrath of Allah". Sunni reference: Kanz al Ummal Volume 7 page 87.
The Sunni Muslims love Hazrat
Ali (AS) and and his adherents and hence have been particularly critical of the
killing of Hajr bin Adi (RA) and his companions. Mufti Ghulam Rasul a modern day
Hanafi scholar in his biography of Imam Jafar Sadiq "Subeh al Sadiq" discusses a
number of topics including the slaughter of Hujr bin Adi.
"Hajr and his associates were killed in 51 Hijri and I pray that Allah (swt)
showers his mercy upon them. Verily they sacrificed their to protect the honour
and dignity of the Lion of Allah, 'Ali. Their murderers told them that they
would be saved if they cursed 'Ali - they refused saying 'We shall not do that
which shall cause the wrath of Allah (swt). This is because Hajr and his
companions knew that the truth was with 'Ali, he was the example of Harun, he
was the brother of the Prophet (p) in this world and the next, 300 verses had
descended in his praise, 'Ali was with the Qur'an and the Qur'an was with 'Ali,
to look at 'Ali's face was an act of worship, to hate 'Ali was an act of Kufr
and to have love and faith in 'Ali was a part of Iman. Rasulullah (p) said that
the sign of a momin was love for 'Ali and the sign of a munafiq was hatred of
'Ali. It was in light of these facts that Hajr and his companions refused to
disassociate themselves from 'Ali, they happily accepted death and willingly
sacrificed their lives due to their love for 'Ali".
Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&hp) ordered the killing of Muaweyah in the event of him becoming Caliph , Allah's Messenger (pbuh&hp) said, "If you see Muaweyah on my pulpit then kill him" Sunni references: Mizan al-Itidal Volume 2 page 17; Volume 2 page 129 on the authority of Abu Said al Khudri; Volume 7 page 324 and Volume 8 page 74; "Tadhib al Tadhib" by Ibn Hajar Asqalani Volume 5 page 110 (Hyderabad edition); Kunz al Haqaiq by al Mu'awi page 9; Tabaqat by Ibn Sad Volume 4 page 134-135 (Leiden edition); al Kamil fi Safa al Rijal Volume 2 page 146 hadith number 343; Ansab al Ashraf Volume 5 page 136; Waq'at Sifeen page 216 and 221, Tareekh Tabari Volume 8 page 186.
"The compiler of Sunan Nasa'i Ahmad bin 'Ali was a hafidh of Hadith and in his time an Imam of Ahl'ul hadith. Towards the end of his life he went to Damascus and he was asked about the virtues of Muaweyah, Imam Nasa'i replied "Muaweyah should protect himself, what praise should I shower on him, I know only virtue namely that Rasulullah (s) cursed him "May Allah never satiate his stomach"
Abu Dharr al-Ghifari says that one day he was praying with the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) when a beggar came to the Prophet’s mosque. None responded to his pleas. The beggar raised his hands towards heavens and said, Allah! Be a witness that I came to the Prophet’s Mosque and no one gave me anything. Ali (a.s.) was bowing, in ruku at that time. He pointed his little finger, on which was a ring, towards him who came forward and took away the ring. This incident occurred in the Holy Prophet’s (s.a.w.) presence who raised his face towards heavens and prayed : O Lord! My brother Musa had begged to You to open his chest to make his work easy for him, to loosen the knot of his tongue so that people might understand him and to appoint from among his relations his brother, as his vizier, and to strengthen his back with Harun and to make Harun his partner in his work. O Allah! You said to Musa, We will strengthen your arms with your brother. No one will now have an access to either of you! O Allah! I am Mohammed and You have given me distinction. Open my chest for me, make my work easy for me and from my family appoint my brother Ali as my vizier Strengthen my back with him.The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) had not yet finished his prayers when Jibrael (a.s.) brought the above quoted verse. At-Tabari: at-Tafsir, vol.6, pg 186, As-Suyuti : ad- Durrul Manthur, Vol. 2, Pgs. 293-4
“This day have I perfected unto you your religion and completed upon you My
Blessings, and I am well-pleased with Islam as your religion.” (Ch. 5, Verse 3).
Then the Prophet bent down and lifted up Ali in his hands, showing him to the
crowds on all sides of the pulpit, aid proclaimed,
“Mun Kunto Maulaho fe haaza Ali-yun Maulah”
“Of whomsoever I am the Master (Mauls), this Ali is his Master (Mania)”. So
saying the Prophet raised up his hands heavenwards and prayed, “O our God, love
those who will love Ali, despise those who will despise him; support those who
will support him; sad reject those who will reject him.
Announcing this thrice, he got down from the raised platform, and seated Ali in
a tent, where the people did him homage. Omar bin Al-Khatab was the first to
congratulate Ali and to acknowledge him ‘Guardian of all Believers’
Saying “Bakhin bakhin laka ibne Abi Talih Asbahta Maul ayee
Wa Maula kulla Momineen wa Mominaatin.”
“Greetings be to thee O son of Abu Talib!
Thou hast dawned as my Leader and the Leader of all faithful men and women.”
Wahidee in Asbab-un-Nuzool; Suyuti in Tafseer-e-Durr-i-Mansoor; Shaukani in Tafseer Fathul Qadir and Sideeq Hasan Khan in Fathul Bayan mention a tradition noted by Ibn Abi Hatim and other scholars from Abu Saeed Khudri in which it is stated that the verse “O Messenger! Make known what has been revealed unto you by your Lord and if you do not do so you have not made known your message.” The Quran Ch. 5, verse 67-was revealed on the occasion of the event at Ghadir-E-Khum in honor of Ali. Moreover in another tradition which has been quoted by Aini in his annotation of Saheeh Bukharee, this verse is paraphrased as “O Messenger! Proclaim the order which your Lord has passed and revealed unto you in honor of Ali Ibn Abu Talib.” So when this verse was revealed the Apostle held Ali by his hand and said, “Ali is also Lord of him who has taken me as his Lord.” Many similar quotations are given by historians and the names of a few are mentioned below:- Abul Fida, Ibn Khallakan in Wafiyat-ul-A’ yaan; Hakini in his Mustadrak; Nasaee in Kitabul Khasais; lbn Hajar Makki in Sawaiq-i-Muhriqa; Rawdzat-ul~Ahbab; Naishapuri in Tafseer Gharaibul Quran, Hafiz Ibn Mardwaih and Hafiz Abu Naeem from Abu Saeed Khudri. Muhammad Ibn Saalim Hanafi remarks in his marginal note on Sirajul Muneer-i-Azeezee, an annotation of Jam’i Sagheer of Suyuti, that when the Apostle delivered his speech “Ali is also the Lord of him who has me for his Lord, and some of the people inquired of the Holy Prophet, “Was it not sufficient for us to profess the ‘Creed of evidence, say our prayers and give alms with strict regularity, that the superiority and Lordship of Abu Talib’s son is now being imposed upon us? Do you commission us in this matter of your own accord, or is it ordered by Allah?” The Apostle replied, “By Him other than whom there is no one to be worshipped, this is the order of Allah”.
Tafseer-o-Sa’labi, Noor-ul-Absar, Seerat-ul-Halabiyah and Mustadrak relate that when on that day a man named Haris, son of No’man Fihri refused to acknowledge Ali as his leader and disputed with the Holy Prophet on this matter and said, “O Allah! If this be truly Thy Command then either rain down stones from heaven upon Muhammad or punish us.” A large stone fell upon him from heaven so that he was killed, just as the army of Abraha and their elephants had been killed before.
The first face that little Ali (A.S.) saw in this world was the smiling face of the Apostle of Allah, Muhammad (S.A.W.), whom he greeted thus: "Assalaamo alaika ya Rasoolallah (Peace be upon thee O Prophet of Allah). Muhammad (S.A.W.) lovingly took him into his arms. The child accepted no other food other than the moisture of Muhammad's tongue, which he sucked for several days after his birth.
Muhammad (S.A.W.) fondled him in his lap in his infancy, and chewed his food and fed Ali (A.S.) on it; he often made him sleep by his side, and Ali (A.S.) enjoyed the warmth of Muhammad’s (S.A.W.) body and inhaled the holy fragrance of his breath.
Ali (A.S.) was born in the sanctuary of Allah, to which the devil had no access. Thus God had interposed a veil between the evil spirits and the child who was to grow up to exalt His Holy Name. The sanctified birth of Ali (A.S.), as that of Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), was foretold in the scriptures, when God said to Abraham, who asked for a blessing on Ishmael:
“The Holy Prophet brought me up in his own arms and fed me with his own morsel. I followed him wherever he went, like a baby camel which follows its mother. Each day an aspect of his character would beam out of his noble soul and I would accept it and follow it as a command.”
The Holy Prophet [s] said: "The likeness of my Ahlul-Bayt (progeny) amongst my Ummah (followers) is similar to Noah's Ark. Those who embarked on it were rescued and those who rejected it perished...."
Abu Dharr al-Ghifari says that one day he was praying with the Holy
Prophet (s.a.w.) when a beggar came to the Prophet’s mosque. None
responded to his pleas. The beggar raised his hands towards heavens and said,
Allah! Be a witness that I came to the Prophet’s Mosque and no one gave
me anything. Ali (a.s.) was bowing, in ruku at that time. He pointed
his little finger, on which was a ring, towards him who came forward and
took away the ring. This incident occurred in the Holy Prophet’s
(s.a.w.) presence who raised his face towards heavens and prayed : O Lord! My
brother Musa had begged to You to open his chest to make his work easy
for him, to loosen the knot of his tongue so that people might
understand him and to appoint from among his relations his brother, as his
vizier, and to strengthen his back with Harun and to make Harun his partner
in his work. O Allah! You said to Musa, We will strengthen your arms
with your brother. No one will now have an access to either of you! O Allah! I am Mohammed and You have given me distinction. Open my chest
for me, make my work easy for me and from my family appoint my brother
Ali as my vizier Strengthen my back with him.The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) had not yet finished his prayers when
Jibrael (a.s.) brought the above quoted verse.
Ayat 1.“Verily, your master is only Allah and His Apostle and those
who believe, those who establish prayers and pay the zakaat while bowed
(in worship)”

The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Make your gatherings lively with the remembrance of Ali-ibn-Abi-Talib." (Talk about the excellencies of Ali [a]).
In 'Ikmal-ud-Din' a tradition, through 'Jabir-il-Ju'fi', is narrated from 'Jabir-ibn-'Abdillah' thus: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allah we have known Allah and His Apostle; then who is 'Ulul-Amr', those that Allah has made their obedience the same as your obedience?' Then, the Prophet (p.h.u.h.) said: 'O' Jabir! They are, after me, my successors and the guides of Muslims; the first of them is Ali ibn Abi Talib; then (Imam) Hassan, and (Imam) Husayn; then Ali ibn Husayn; then Mohammad ibn Ali; known in the Turah as Baqir, whom you will see, O' Jabir! When you visit him, give my regards to him. After him, there is Sadiq, Ja'far ibn Muhammad; and after him Musa ibn Ja'far; then Ali ibn Musa; then Muhammad ibn Ali; then Ali ibn Muhammad, then Hassan ibn Ali; and after him (there comes) Al-Qaim, whose name and epithet is the same as mine. He is Allah's Authority on the Earth and His Remainder amongst His servants. He is the son of (Imam) Hassan-ibn-Ali (al-'Askari). This is the very personality by whose hands Allah will open the Easts and Wests of the worlds and this is the very personality who will be absent from his followers and those who love him, in which his mastership cannot be proved by a statement of anyone except for the one whose heart Allah tests for Faith." Jabir said: "I asked him: 'O' Messenger of Allah will his followers avail of him during his occultation?' He answered: 'Yes. By the One Who appointed me to prophethood, they will seek brightness from his light and will avail by devotion in his absence the same as the availing of people from the (glow of) sun when clouds cover it...'
The Holy Prophet [s] said: "Train your children in three things: the love of your Prophet, the love of his progeny, i.e. Ahlul-Bayt, and recitation of the Qur'an."
Among those who have admitted that Imam Ali (AS) is the store house of the secrets of all the Prophets is the Chief of Gnostics, Muhyiddin al-Arabi, from whom al-Arif al-Sha'rani has copied it in his al-Yawaqeet wa al-Jawahir (p172, topic 32).
The Holy Prophet [s] said: "O' Ali! Gabriel wished to become a human being for seven reasons, which are:
Congregational prayer.
Companionship with scholars.
Establishing peace between two persons.
Honouring the orphans.
Visiting the sick.
Attending a funeral procession.
Giving of water to Pilgrims.
Then, be desirous of these things."

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said: "He who wants to see Noah (AS) in his determination, Adam (AS) in his knowledge, Abraham (AS) in his clemency, Moses (AS) in his intelligence and Jesus (AS) in his religious devotion should look at Ali Ibn Abi Talib (AS)." Sahih al-Bukhari ,Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, as quoted in ,Sharh Ibn Abil Hadid, v2, p449 ,Tafsir al-Kabir, by Fakhruddin al-Razi.
The Prophet (PBUH&HF) said: "There is amongst you a person who will
fight for the interpretation of the Quran just as I fought for its
revelation." The people around him raised their heads and cast inquisitive
glances at the Prophet (PBUH&HF) and at one another. Abu Bakr and Umar
were there. Abu Bakr inquired if he was that person and the Prophet
(PBUH&HF) replied in the negative. Then Umar inquired if he was that person
and the Prophet (PBUH&HF), replied "No. He is the one who is repairing
my shoes (i.e., Ali)."
Abu Said Khudri said: Then we went to Ali and conveyed the good news to
him. He did not even raise his head and remained as busy as he was, as
if he had already heard it from the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF)."
al-Mustadrak, by al-Hakim, v3, p122, who said this tradition is

Abi Jaad that he said: I asked of Muhammad Ibn Hanifah, "was Abu Bakr
the first of the people to adopt Islam?" He replied: "No".
And Ibn Asakir on a reliable ascription from Muhammad Ibn Sa'd Ibn Abi
Waqqas, that he said to his father Sa'd: "was Abu Bakr the first of you
in embracing the faith?" He said: "No, for there were more than five
people in faith before him"

every other - his wife Khadija, his freedman Zaid and the Wife of Zaid

My hand & Ali a.s in counting is equal .
He is the only person undisputedly designated as: The 1st legitimate Successor of The Holy Prophet (s.a.w)
Then Ibn e Kawwa quired, "what about those verses of the Holy Qur'an which were revealed to the Holy Prophet in your absence? Imam (a.s.) replied: "Yes, when I was not with Holy Prophet (saw), he memorised the verses and when I was back in his presence he would say: "O Ali, after you left, the Almighty Allah revealed such and such verses. Then, he would recite for me and explain me about its Ta'weel."
His position in Islam Is most unique and as being dignified in all its greatness.
Once Rasool Allah [saw] asked Hazrat Ali [as] ' Oh Ali, what would you do if a person came to you and behaved rudely with you?'Imam [as] replied, ' I would act kindly towards him' Rasool Allah [saw] said, 'what if that person continues to behave rudely and starts to insult you?' Imam [as] replied, ' I would continue to act kindly towards him' then Rasool Allah [saw] said, ' but if the person starts insulting you even more?'to which Ameer-ul-Momineed [as] replied, ' O Rasool Allah, if that person is stubborn enough not to stop his (rude) behavior then why should I stop my (good) behavior'
He never ever worshipped Any kind of pagan idols or other gods or even attributed them to The One Almighty God, Allah (swt) by either partnership or kin!
Abu Hamzah said, "I heard Abu Ja'far (عليه سلام) say that Rasul'ullah (صل الله عليه واله وسلام) said: Allah said, 'My proof has been terminated for the wretched of your community, those who have abandoned the Wilayyah of `Ali and the successors after you. Indeed, in these is your Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Nabiyyin before you. They are the treasurers of My Knowledge after you.' Then Rasul'ullah said: Jibra'il has informed me of their names and the names of their fathers.Usul al-Kafi, 508-4
Rasul'ullah (صل الله عليه واله وسلام) is reported to have said, "I and eleven of my descendants and you, O `Ali , are the axis of the Earth, its pegs and its mountains... When my eleven descendants pass away, then chaos and disorder will occur among the people."
I
Tusi has reported in his "Al-Ghaybah" that Rasul'ullah (صل الله عليه واله وسلام) said to `Ali: "O `Ali there would be twelve A'immah (عليهم سلام) after me, and after them, there will be twelve Mahdiyyin. You are O `Ali the first of the twelve A'immah (عليهم سلام)... Then there will come after him, twelve Mahdiyyin."
"Tomorrow I will give the standard to a man, by whose hand God shall conquer (Khaybar). He loves God and His Messenger, and God and His Messenger love him."The people passed the night wondering as to who will receive it and everyone was hopeful of getting it. (The next day) the Prophet (s.a.w) declared: "Where is Ali?" He was told: 'He is suffering with an eye pain.' (When Ali came) the Prophet applied his saliva to his eyes and prayed for him. Ali recovered as if he had no pain before. Then the Prophet (s.a.w) gave it (the standard) to him...
He was the most closest and the most beloved to The Prophet (s.a.w) of all his Companions .
He was most the faith full to The Prophet (s.a.w) of all his Companions .
His Judgement was most righteous and correct .
Addressing his daughter, Fatima, the Holy Prophet said, “O thou daughter of mine! Of all the creatures in this world, God has selected two persons, one of them is your father and the other is your husband.” (lzalat-al-Khulafa)
So much so that he received this warm compliment from The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) "Ali is the best Judge, amongst all of you."
About his vast knowledge The Prophet (s.a.w) had said, "I am the city of knowledge. And Ali is it's gate!"
Al Tirmidhi in his Sahih reports that once when the Prophet (S) sat down to eat a fowl that had been prepared for his dinner, he prayed to God: "My God, bring the most beloved of Your creatures, that he may eat this fowl with me." Then Ali (AS) came and the Prophet ate with him.
In Imam Ali's(as) relation to 'the Truth', The Prophet (s.a.w) had been
recorded to have said,
"Ali is with the Truth. And the Truth is with Ali!"
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said:"Whoever contests Ali in regard to the khilafah is an unbeliever."
He was the most loyal to The Prophet (s.a.w), of all his Companions .

He was the most devoted follower of The Prophet (s.a.w), of all his Companions .
When Ali (AS) was ten years old, the Prophet received his first revelation and was commanded by the Almighty to publicly proclaim his mission. "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah” said the Prophet. Before the dumbstruck ignorant minds could say anything, the young Ali (AS) rose and gave testimony of his cousin's divine mission: "I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet called Ali (AS) his vizier and Khalifa (successor).
He was just in all his dealings with all the people.
Prophet (SAW) lifted Ali (AS) on his shoulders to deliver the coup de grace to the chief idol atop the roof of the Ka`ba.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Verily, Ali and I are inseparable, and he is the master (wali) of every believer after me."
He treated all the people equally without discrimination.
He would then distribute them among all the needy and the poor .
When Ali (AS) offered his prayers he was frequently observed to be in a strange physical condition. When asked to account for the pallor of his face and the way in which his body trembled he (AS) replied, "I present myself to the Almighty to render an account of the various obligations that devolve on me and I do not know whether I have discharged them dutifully by protecting the defenseless and aiding the oppressed."
He would treat the destitute with patience, respect and mercy .
Only the faithful believer will love you and only hypocrites will hate you."
He would grasp every opportunity to socalise with the poor, the sick, the needy and the homeless .
He would not hesitate to defend any innocent or helpless person .
Every prophet has a vicegerent and inheritor and Ali (A.S.) is my vicegerent and inheritor."
He would rush to help any sick person in need .
Ali (A.S.) is with truth and truth is with Ali (A.S.). They will never separate until they join at the Pool of Kasaur in the Hereafter"
He would speak out for the Truth and issue his Decrees on the basis of Justice.
It is Narrated by Ibn e Abbas that Quran has came into 7 Words , every word has inner & outer & Hazrat Ali ibn e Abi Talib a.s knows both of showing & hidden .
It is Narrated by Jabir ibn e Abdullah r.a that Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says O Ali a.s ! I swear to Allah , that it is written on the door of Paradise "Laaelaha Illalla, Mohammad dur Rasullala, Ali ibn e Abi Talib a.s Akoor Rasool Allah "& it is written 2000 years before establish of skies & earths .

He would never think of appeasing or to compromise or to undetermined Justice for anyone .
In the meantime, Jibreel came and informed the Prophet of the conspiracy. The Prophet called Ali bin Abi Talib and told him about the impending danger. Ali asked as to what the Prophet wanted him (Ali) to do. The Prophet asked him if he (Ali) would sleep in his (Prophet's) bed that night while he (the Prophet) was intending to slip out of Makkah towards Madinah in the darkness of the night. Ali bin Abi Talib asked: "If I sleep in your bed tonight, will you be safe?" The Prophet replied: "Yes, I will be safe." Ali bin Abi Talib immediately did a sajdah of shukr (thanks to Allh) and agreed to do that. The Prophet left all the property that he had been keeping in trust in Ali's charge with the instructions to reimburse those goods to their rightful owners. So, Ali slept in the Prophet's bed and the Prophet walked out of the house and moved towards the cave of THAWR reciting verses from Sura Yaaseen. While the Prophet was walking in the darkness of the night, Jibreel came and revealed the following verse of the Qur'an. Wa minan-naasi man-yashree nafsahu-b-tigha'a maradhaati(A)llahi wa Allahu ra'oofun bil-ibaad(Q-2:207) Trans: And among men is he who sells himself to seek the pleasure of Allah; and Allah is affectionate to the servants.
He would only deal honestly and speak the Truth .
The Almighty Allah, when the Prophet Muhammad left `Ali sleeping in his bed while the enemies were outside plotting to murder him, addressed Gabriel and Michael thus: "I have created brotherhood between both of you and let the life-span of one of you be longer than that of the other. Which one of you wishes to have the life of the other be longer than his own?" Each held his own life dearer.
The Almighty said: "Why can't you be
like `Ali ibn Abu Talib between whom and Muhammad I have created brotherhood,
and he has chosen to sleep in Muhammad's bed, offering to sacrifice his own
life for his brother? Go down to earth and protect him from his foes." They
both came down. Gabriel stood at `Ali's head while Michael stood at his feet.
Gabriel cried: "Congratulations! Congratulations! Who can be like you, O son
of Abu Talib? Even Allah brags about you to His angels!" Regarding that
incident, the verse "And there are among men those who trade their own lives
for the Pleasure of Allah (Qur'an, 2:207)" was revealed. Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , I heard from Gabriel a.s , he from Michael
a.s , & he from Israfeel a.s & he from Loha & he from Qulam (Pen) , Allah
Talah Says that , Hazrat Ali Ibn e Abi Talib a.s waliyat is my strong fort ,
the person who will enter in this fort , he will save from my harm ness. Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says ,Allah Talah Says that if all the peoples
are gathered on Waliyat Hazrat Ali a.s , so Allah will not create hell . Hazrat `Ali a.s
himself is quoted saying: "I am the servant of Allah and the Brother of His
Messenger. I am the strongest in believing in the Prophet. Nobody else can say
so except a liar." Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , The person who liked & wished he will live
like me & he died like me as I died , after me he should love with Hazrat Ali
Ibn e Abi Talib a.s . Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w,
the Messenger of Allah, has also said: "It is written on the gate of Paradise:
`There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, `Ali is the
Brother of the Messenger of Allah.'" Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , that Allah Talh will not accept his Iyyman
, but he should must lov with Hazrat Ali a.s & hate with his enemy . He is from Me after me , He is Mola of every Momin's . Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , I Will , who Iyyman on me & who Tasdik
(Correct) on me , he should be a friend of Hazrat Ali a.s , The person who
loves him , he loves with me .The persn who loves Me , he loves with Allah . Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , if you would accept the waliyat &

The man who always stayed with the Holy Prophet.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) asks Ali (a.s) to cover for him, by pretending to be him sleeping in his bed, so that he may escape successfully undected by Quraysh assassins.
Eminent commentators of the Holy Qur'an hold that this verse was revealed on the
18th of Zil- Hijja 10 A.H. when the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. was about to reach
the place Khum on his way back from Mecca after having performed his Hajj-a-Wida
(Farewell Pilgrimage). All the Sunni traditionists agree that this verse relates
to the declaration by the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. about Ameerul Mo'mineen Imam
'Ali A.S. to be the Successor, Viceregent and Caliph after him. It is noteworthy
that the verse refers to some very important message which Allah commands the
Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. to convey to the people and that message is so important
that if not conveyed it would mean that the function of Prophethood was not
carried out.
The words "ma unzila elaika" (what has been sent down to you) give a clear
indication that a particular message had already been communicated to the Holy
Prophet S.A.W.A.S. and now it was to be conveyed to the people at large. The
action taken by the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. in compliance to this command shows
that this particular message referred to in this verse related to the
declaration of Imam 'Ali A.S. as the Successor, Guide and Caliph of the Muslims
after the Holy Prophet. Upon revelation, the Holy Prophet got down immediately
from his camel and ordered the area to be cleared for people to assemble, and a
pulpit to be prepared using the saddles of the camels.
Under his orders Bilal the Muazzin (prayer-caller) called out to the people in the words, "Hayya ala khairil 'amal", meaning "O' people, collect together for the virtuous act". Those who had gone ahead were required to come back while those who were lagging behind were asked to quicken their pace and reach the halting place as the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. was to address them. When all the people had assembled as ordered, the Holy Prophet ascended the improvised pulpit prepared for him for the occasion and delivered a long lecture during the course of which he said:
"All praise is due to Allah Who is the Creator and Lord of the entire Universe.
It is the bounden duty of everyone to offer Him thanks in comfort as well as
distress, in ease as well as hardship. I acknowledge to be His servant and
creature and bear witness that He is my Master and Lord. I convey to the people
all that He reveals to me for their guidance, of I do fear that if I do not do
so and fail to carry out His behest I shall have to face chastisement which on
one shall be able to avert from me by any device whatsoever."
"O' people, what has been revealed to me by Allah just now is so important that
if I do not convey it to you it would mean as if I have not carried out His
Mission at all while Allah has guaranteed to me that he would protect me against
the evil of the people. Allah has commanded that whatever has been revealed to
me in respect of Ali A.S. should be conveyed to you.
Now therefore, O' people bear in mind that Imam Ali A.S. has hereby been appointed Imam over you so that obedience to him is obligatory on the migrants (the Muhajireen) and the locals (the Ansars), on the countrymen and the townsmen, on the Arabs and the non-Arabs, on the freemen and the slaves, on the young and the old, on the white and the black. In short his authority is to be effective on everyone who believes in the Unity and Oneness of Allah."
"O' people, this is the last occasion and the last place that I proclaim Ali A.S. to be my successor. Listen and obey the Command of Allah.
Allah is your Creator, your Sustainer and your Guardian. After Allah, His Prophet Mohammad is your Guardian and he is standing before you and addressing you. After me, by Allah's behest this Ali A.S. is your Guardian and your Imam.
Therefore till the Day of Judgement when you will be made to present yourselves before Allah and His Prophet, this Guardianship and Imamate would remain in my progeny born through Imam Ali A.S..
O' people, there is no issue of knowledge which Allah did not entrust to me and which was not entrusted by me to Imam Ali A.S.. I have given him all the knowledge. He is the Imam-e-Mubeen, the Manifest Guide."
"O' people do not abandon him for following others and do not dislike making him your ruler for he alone would strengthen Truth and act on Truth. No reproach of any person can keep him away from Truth. O' people, ponder over the Holy Qur'an. Understand its verses. Go deep into the firm ones and do not follow the ambiguous ones. By Allah no one would teach you the implications of its verses with clarity except the person whose hand I am holding whom I am drawing close to me and whose arm is in my arm. No one will be able to divulge to you its commentary save this Ali A.S..
VERILY FOR WHOMSOEVER I AM THE MASTER THIS ALI IS HIS MASTER.
This Ali Ibn Abi Talib A.S. is my brother, and my successor, and bear in mind that his appointment as my successor is from Allah and Allah has revealed this fact to me."
"O' people this Ali A.S. an the other infallibles in my progeny constitute the Siqlul-Asghar, the junior of the weighty two weighty things while the Holy Qur'an is the Siqlul-Akbar, the Senior one, and these two would not get separated from each other till they join me at the Cistern of Kausar (Hawzil Kausar) on the Day of Judgement (Yawmul Qiyyamah).
Beware the I have discharged my duty; beware that I have conveyed what I was charged by Allah to convey, take note that I have clarified everything and note that whatever Allah revealed to me has been faithfully conveyed by me to you. Take note that no one except this my brother Ali A.S. would be the Ameerul Mo'mineen, the Commander of the Faithful, for after me it is not lawful for anyone except Imam Ali A.S. to wield authority over the Faithful."
"O' people I have clearly explained all the matters before you. Now after me this Imam Ali A.S would be explaining to you these matters. After finishing my speech I would call you to pay allegiance (Bay'at) to him, and to acknowledge him.
Beware that I have paid allegiance (Bay'at) to Allah while Imam Ali A.S. has paid allegiance to me.
Now I am taking your allegiance for Imam Ali A.S. under the Command of Allah.
Now you should also proclaim that in this matter you bow before the Command of Allah and would obey Him, and obey me, and obey Imam Ali A.S., Imam Hasan A.S. and Imam Husain A.S. and the other Imams A.S. in Husain A.S.'s line as mentioned by me."
"O' people, now say what I have told you to say and from now onwards you should offer salutation to Imam Ali A.S. by the title Ameerul Mo'mineen. Now confirm that you have heard and accepted what I have told you, and also say: All praise is due to Allah who gave us guidance for if He had not given us guidance we would have remained without it"."
The entire crowd then cried loudly and confirmed, "Yes, O' Prophet of Allah S.A.W.A.S., we have heard you fully and are ready and prepared to obey every Command of Allah and every Command of the Prophet of Allah with heart, tongue and limbs."
The people then thronged to the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. and Imam Ali A.S. from all sides. The first who held out their pledge to the Holy Prophet in the matter were Abu Bakr, Umer and Usman.Then they were followed by other Migrants (Muhajireen) and the Locals (Ansar) and the rest of the people of all classes, groups and grades, so much so that the Maghrib and Isha Salaat were offered together because of the function having extended till it was fairly dark.
Umer the second Caliph is reported to have greeted Imam Ali A.S. on this occasion in the following words: "Greeting be to you O' 'Ali son of Abu Talib; you have become my Master and the master of every believer (faithful) man and woman".
The Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. repeated the last sentence thrice. This is as recorded in the Saheeh Muslim of Muslim. However, Nisaee, Imam Ahmad bin Hambal, Tirmizee, Tibrani and Tabari have related some further sentences relating to the merits of Imam Ali A.S.. The most common sentence is the following, "Of whomsoever I am the Master Ali A.S. is his master; may Allah keep friendship with everyone who keeps friendship with Ali A.S. and bear enmity with everyone who bears enmity with Ali A.S."."" Seeratun Nabi, p.165-6
And thus the analogy with the Hujjatullahs becomes manifestly clear, for the
Holy Prophet (saws) departed this earthly existence in the manner of the Sun
setting, yet as Allah decrees mankind will not be left aimless and in the dark,
guidance to the sirat al mustaqim continued in the form of the lineage of Twelve
Imams, who function as the enduring Mercy of the Holy Prophet to mankind,
reflecting his light as the Moon reflects the light of the Sun when it sets. And
when one contemplates that in this lineage each Imam was succeeded by another,
one discerns the obvious in the physical world around us, that which we knew all
our lives as muslims, but did not ponder in more depth - the Moon’s trajectory
forms 12 lunar months, one signifying each Imam and Khalifatullah, each Sign of
Allah. And on the Moon one will find the the name of the First, the direct link
to the Holy Prophet and the reliever of burdens, Ali (as), having his name
carved on its surface, while the guidance of the Twelfth is vouchsafed for by
the fact that the Moon continues to illuminate the Earth as Imam Mahdi (as)
shines his light on the Earth.
And when the Moon is hidden by a cloud, to quote a popular analogy, it still
reflects the light of the Sun it trapped and guides mankind, as does the Twelfth
Imam (as) in his concealment. When on the 14th of the lunar month the full moon
is seen and the Moon is most brilliant, one realises that it is the 14
infallibles, Mohammad (saws), Fatima (sa) and the 12 Imams, in whose honour the
full moon of the 14th night was created by Allah.
Kokab Durri Page 285 - Tradition of the Holy Prophet [pbuh] " Who ever refuses to accept the right ( Haq ) of Moula Ali [as] is surely one of the three : 1) Munafiq , 2) Born as a result of Zina by his/her Parents , 3) His/Her mother concieved when she was having her periods
He would never put his own interest and of his family above Islam's Interest .
The lion of Allah- Ali Ibn Abi Talib (as).
He would never support any person's selfish interest over the interest of Islam and of Human Justice .
He would never speak ill behind any person's back.
It is Narrated by Abu Huriara the person who kept fast on 18 Zul Hajia , he has reward written of 60 months of Fast's , that day was Gadeer e Kum , this day Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w rised hand of Hazrat Ali ibn e Abi Talib a.s, Am I not your leader of all Momineen ?

Umer the second Caliph is reported to have greeted Imam Ali A.S. on this occasion in the following words: "Greeting be to you O' 'Ali son of Abu Talib; you have become my Master and the master of every believer (faithful) man and woman".
The bravest man to ever live in this universe.
He would never take advantage of his position to benefit himself and of his family over other's interest .
It is Narrated by Abu Bakr Siddiq that I saw Hazrat Rasool Allah s.a.w is binding hut & then I saw He was sitting with Arabic Kaman & In this Hut there was sitting , Hazrat Ali a.s , Hazrat Bibi Fatima a.s , Hazrat Imam Hassan a.s , Hazrat Imam Hussain a.s .then Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w replied , O Muslim's !

Muhammad ibn Hammam narrated from Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Malik from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Yunus ibn Dhabyan that Abu Abd’ullah as-Sadiq (عليه سلام) had said:“When the night of Friday comes, Allah sends down a Malak to the lower heaven. When dawn comes, the Malak sits on a throne on the House (the Ka'bah), and sets minbars of light for Muhammad, `Ali, al-Hasan and Al-Husayn (عليه سلام). They ascend the mindbars. The Mala’ikah, the Nabiyyin and the Mu’minin are invited to gather before them. The gates of the heavens are opened. When the sun declines, the Prophet (صل الله عليه واله وسلام) says: 'O my Lord, carry out Your promise that You have promised of in Your Book by this verse, ‘Allah has promised to those of you who believe and do good tht Hu will most certainly make them rulers in the Earth as Hu made rulers those before them, and that Hu will most certainly establish for them their religion which Hu has chosen for them and that Hu will most certainly, after their fear, given them security in exchange.’" [Al-Qur'an, Sura 24:55]”
The raj'a of Muhammad, `Ali, Hassan and Hussayn represents the return of the Imam al-Mahdi (عجل الله تعالي فرج الشريف) as "Muhammad," the reviver of Islam, of his Wazir and spiritual brother who is Al-Masih, and the male heirs of the Masihi throne that we see manifesting time and time again whether from the seed of Harun (عليه سلام) or from Imam `Ali (عليه سلام).
The Prophet (s.a.w) 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 prophethood! 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." (Kifayatul
Athar, by al-Khazzaz, p53).
He would never allowed corruption and corrupt officials to manifest over Islam's basic principles.
It is Narrated by Abdullah ibn e Abbas that Hazrat Rasool Allah s.a.w says that , 7 years Angels send Salawat on Me s.a.w & Ali a.s because on that period there is no male except Ali a.s with Me.
It is Narrated by Hazrat Abu Ayyab Ansari r.a that Hazrat Rasool Allah s.a.w says that , 7 years Angels send Salawat on Me s.a.w & Ali a.s because on that period there is no one except 2 of us read namaz with us .
Hazrat Abu Talib a.s saw the Nabi Akram s.a.w that he throw his saliva in tthe mouth of Hazrat Ali a.s than Hazrat Abu Talib a.s replied , Nephew what is that ? He s.a.w replied , it is Iyyman & knowledge hen Hazrat Abu Talib a.s says o Hazrat Ali a.s , O my son ! Help your Cousin / Brother & become his helper (Sahara) .
The man whom when the Holy Prophet said, " O my Lord, bring me your most beloved servant to me to eat with this bird," came.
He would enter the Bayt Al-Mal (Public Treasury) and would look at all the gold and silver stored and with indifference, and would address them by saying, "White and yellow, is an attraction to the people, but not so with me!" White here meaning Silver ,Yellow here meaning Gold .
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) is reported to have said to Imam Ali (a.s):"Are you not pleased to have the position (manzilah) in relation to me as that Aaron had in relation to Moses?"
He never indulged himself in the worldly materials and of it's luxuries.
Abdullah bin Buraydah reports from his father (Buraydah) that Abu Bakr came to the Prophet and asked for the hand of his daughter Fatima in marriage. The Prophet said: “She is still very young.” Then Umar came to the Prophet and asked him the same question. The Prophet again replied: “She is still very young.” Then Ali bin Abi Talib came and asked the Prophet for Fatima’s hand in marriage. The Prophet accepted the proposal and Fatima was married to Ali (may Allah’s peace and our salams be unto them all).
Under his War Banner of Leadership, Victory was always assured.
Asma bint cUmays narrates: I stayed in the house with Fatima Zahra the night she was married. The Prophet came to her door in the morning and knocked. Umm Ayman opened the door and let him in. Umm Ayman used to speak with a lisp. He said: “Call my brother.” Umm Ayman said: “You are still calling him your brother? Even though you have now accepted him as your son-in-law.” He said: “He is still my brother.” (Other) Women (who were around at that time) heard the voice of the Prophet and hid themselves. Then the Prophet asked me to hide. I hid behind a curtain. The Prophet then called Ali and sprinkled water on him. He then called Fatima. She came walking uneasily due to haya[3]. He said to her: “Dear daughter, I have married you to the one who was most beloved to me from my Ahlul-Bayt. He then sprinkled water on her too and prayed for her. As he was leaving he noticed a silhouette. He asked: “Who is that?” I replied: “It is I, Asma.” He said: “Have you come to greet the daughter of the Apostle of Allah on her wedding night?” I replied: “Yes, that is so.” The Prophet was very pleased and he blessed me and prayed for me.
He never ever retreated from the face of any enemy.
The Holy Prophet [s] said in one of his sermons regarding Imam ‘Ali [a]: God has so much exalted my brother ‘Ali that his numerous virtues could not be counted easily: whosoever from amongst you narrates one of his excellences, God will forgive his past and future sins; and whosoever will record one of his excellence, the angels will bless him as long as his writing remains; whosoever will read about his virtues (with his eyes), the since of the eye will be forgiven for him. Beware! That man is not steadfast in faith who does not love ‘Ali and does not shun his enemies.
Thus, to understand the lofty status of Imam ‘Ali [a] is ibadat in itself, for such an understanding strengthens one's love for the Ahlul-bayt [a] and one's hate for their enemies; resulting in increased piety and devotion to the Almighty [a].
Hazrat Ibn-e- Abbas relates: One day I saw the holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.w) holding Hazrat Ali's (a.s) hand and saying, "This is the first person who believed in me and he will be the first person to shake hands with me on the Judgment Day.

Imamat is divine rank like Prophethood, he should be infallible every political in universe is subject to his command and obedience. (Tohfa Namaz-e-Jaffria, Page No. 28)
The Prophet (s) said, "Oh, Ali, God has commanded me to marry you to
Fatima."
Abu Said al Khudri reports: "We sat waiting for the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) when he came out to meet us. The strap of his sandal was broken and he tossed it to Ali. Then he (s.a.w) said: "A man amongst you will fight the people over the tawil (interpretation) of the Quran in the same way as I have fought over its tanzil (revelation)." Thereupon Abu Bakr said, 'Is that I?' The Prophet (pbuh&hp) said: "No." Then Umar asked him, 'Is that I?' "No." said the Prophet (s.a.w). "It is the mender of the sandal (i.e. Ali)."
He is the Siddeeq-e-Akber and the door of entrance.
Hazrat Muhammad s.a.w says , The Imam From Hazrat Ali ibn e Abi Talib says , He said, “I am the proof of Allah upon his creatures and I am the Baqiyatullah upon this earth. I am the one who will fill the earth with justice and equality just as it will be filled with injustice and in equity. I am the son of Hasan ibne Ali ibne Mohammed ibne Ali ibne Musa ibne Ja’far ibne Mohammed ibne Ali ibne Husain ibne Ali ibne Abi Talib (a.s.).”
He will be the khalifa after me!"
Prophet Mohamad[saww] said: "I am the city of science and Ali is its door those who are in need for science should come through the door.";
In another statement he said "I am the city of wisdom and Ali is its door those who are in need for wisdom should come through the door otherwise he is a thief."

Kalam Al Tayyab " ( Tafseer Al Saafi , Tafseer Marat Al Anwar & Tafseer
Burhan ) Our Imam [as] says " Al Kalam Al Tayyab means the act of momin
whereby he recites La illaha illallah - Mohammedun Rasool Allah and Ali un
Wali ullah "

“Ali would appear to the dwellers of paradise as a morning star.” (Sawai’q Muhari’qa)
It may be pertinently recalled that first of all it was at the close of the
Feast of Kinsmen known as Dawate Zul Aasheera in Islamic history, that is, when
the Holy Prophet S.A.W.A.S. had invited his chief kinsmen to a feast and
disclosed before them that he was the Prophet of Allah (Rasulullah) who had
commanded him to invite them to the Divine Message, the Holy Prophet announced,
"This Ali A.S. is my Brother (Akhee), my Inheritor (Wasiyee) my Successor (Wariseeh)
and my Deputy (Khalifati) over you. You should listen to him and obey him".
When he reached this verse he recorded this in his Tafsir al-Kabir on the
authority of Abu Dhar al-Ghifari, who said:Both of my ears may turn deaf and both of my eyes may become blind if
I speak a lie. I heard the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings and
peace be upon him and his posterity, saying, "Ali is the guide of the
righteous and the slayer of the infidels. he who has helped him is
victorious and he who has abandoned him is forsaken." One day I said
my prayers in the company of the Prophet. A beggar came to the mosque
and begged for alms, but nobody gave him anything. Ali was in a state
of kneeling in the prayer. He pointed out his ring to the beggar, who approached him and removed the ring from his finger. Thereupon the
Prophet, Allah's blessings and peace be upon him and his posterity,
implored Allah the Mighty and Glorious, saying: "O Allah! My brother
Moses begged you saying, 'My Lord, delight my heart and make my task
easy and undo the knot in my tongue so that they may understand me,
and appoint from my kinsmen, Haroon, my brother, as my vizier, and strengthen my back with him and make him participate in my mission so
that we may glorify You and remember You more frequently. Certainly
You see us.' And You inspired him: 'O Musa! All your requests have
been granted.' O Allah! I am your slave and your prophet. Delight my
heart and make my task easy and appoint from among my kinsmen Ali as
my vizier and strengthen my back with him."
Abu Dhar, then, proceeded,
By Allah, the Messenger of Allah, Allah's blessings and peace be upon
him and his posterity had not yet finished his supplication when the
trustworthy Gabriel descended to him with this Verse" Certainly Allah is Your Master, and His Prophet and those who believe
who establish prayer and give charity while they bow. And whoever
takes Allah and His Messenger and those who believe as a guardian, so
surely the party of Allah will be victorious."Sunni reference: Tafsir al-Kabir, by al-Tha'labi under the commentary of
verses 5:55-56 of Quran. The Prophet (s) said, "The verse of purification was revealed
concerning five people: myself, Ali, Hassan, Hussein, and Fatima."

spreads over the West , at the time of Salat says azaan and in his azaan the

He was the first to offer to sleep in the Holy Prophet's (S.A.W.) bed on the
night of his emigration to Medina. The Prophet (s) said, “Fatima is more beloved to me than you, oh
Ali, and you are dearer to me than her.”
He was the first to be appointed commander in all those battles in which the
Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) did not participate personally.
"Ali is with righteousness and righteousness is with Ali" -- (the Prophet) The Prophet (s) said, "The first people to enter Paradise will be
Ali and Fatima."

Ali's (A.S.) lot. The Prophet (s) said, "Oh, Ali, Jibreel has informed me that God has
married you to Fatima."

(S.A.W.) mosque was reserved for Imam Ali (A.S.) alone.
During the time of the three
Kholafa, although Ali (a.s.) did not take part in any of the
battles, he was always available when they sought his advice on
religious matters. His position as the jurist was on the top of the
list among the companions of the Holy Prophet (saw). Umar Ibne
Khattab the 2nd Caliph had given clear instructions that when Ali
was present in the mosque of the Prophet no one should take
precedence over him in answering questions on religious matters. In
one such encounter during the time of the 2nd Caliph, a group of
Jewish scholars approached the caliph and said, " We have a few
questions. If we get the answers to these questions correctly, we
will accept the Islamic faith. "Ask whatever you want to ask," said
the caliph. They asked the following questions.
The locks of the heavens are
beliefs in more than one god, and its keys are the letters of "La Ilaha Illallah, Muhammad-Ur-Rasulallah."
The messenger who warned his people is the ant who, when
Solomon's army was passing by, said to his people, " Enter your
houses so that the army may not stamp you out (without intention)".
So Allah states in the Holy Qur'an, " Until they came to the valley
of the Ants, said an ant (addressing the other ants of the valley)
O" you ants' enter into your dwellings, so that Solomon and his
hosts may not crush you while they know it not". (Sura An-Naml. V
18)
The five beings who were not born of ovaries are: Adam, Eve, the
staff of Moses which used to change into a python, the camel of Saleh, and the sheep of Ibrahim (which was sent by Allah to become a
ransom of the life of Ibrahim's son Ismael).
One is Allah who has no partners, two are Adam and Eve, three are
the substances ( i.e. non-living matter, plants and animals), four
are the Heavenly books: Torah of Moses, Bible of Jesus, Zubur of
Dawood and the Qur'an of Hadhrat Muhammad (saw). Five are the daily
prayers. Six are the days of creation of the heavens and earth, as
per the verse of the Qur'an: " And indeed We created the heavens and
the earth and what is between them two, in six periods and touched
us not any fatigue." (Sura Qaf V. 38). Seven are the seven heavens,
in the light of the Qur'anic Verse: " And we have erected above you
the seven strong ones." (Sura An-Naba V12)

Ali was the only one
(except the Holy Prophet) whom Allah inspired with Divine Secrets.
Abu Darda', one of the
companions, one day saw the body of Ali in one of the palm
plantations of Medina lying on the ground as stiff as wood.
He went to Ali's house to
inform his noble wife, the daughter of the Prophet, and to express
his condolences. The daughter of the Prophet said, "My cousin (Ali)
has not died. Rather, in fear of God he has fainted. This condition
overcomes him often."

him: "You are my brother, friend, and companion in Paradise."

Harithah, saying: "O `Ali! You are, indeed, my brother and the

Prophet invited his relatives for luncheon and after the meal told them, "I know
of no one who has brought to his people better things than I have brought to
you. God has commanded me to invite you to draw toward Him. Who is there who
will assist me in this matter and be my brother and inheritor (wasi) and
vicegerent (khalifah) among you?" All remained silent, but Ali, who was the
youngest of all, exclaimed,
"I shall be your deputy and aide." Then the Prophet
put his arms around him and said, "He is my brother, inheritor and vicegerent.
You must obey him." Then the group began to depart laughing and telling Abu Talib, "Muhammad has ordered you to obey your son."
Ibn Marduyah has said that the Prophet
said, "Whoever wishes that his life and death be like mine and that he enter
paradise should after me love Ali and follow my household, for they are my
descendants and have been created from my clay. My knowledge and understanding
have been bestowed upon them. Therefore woe unto those who deny their virtues.
My intercession [on the Day of Judgment] will never include them."
He was the first to
compile and codify the Quran.
It was he who
was appointed Commander in all the battles in which the Holy Prophet
did not participate personally and was the Standard Bearer when the
Prophet participated.
He had the
distinction of being styled as "Brother" by the Prophet on both
occasions of "before Hijrat" at Mecca and after Hijrat at Medina.
"Ali is never separated from
the Truth nor the Truth from Ali."
He was the only
warrior to stick to his post on the battlefield in all battles and
who never once turned his back.
You Are of Me and for Me."
Hudhayfah has said, "The Prophet of God
said, 'If you make Ali my vicegerent and successor - which I do not think you
will do - you will find him a perspicacious guide who will direct you toward the
straight path !"

face.

him what pleased him so much. He answered: "It is due to a piece of
good news which I have just received from my Lord regarding my
brother and cousin, and also regarding my daughter.
The Almighty has chosen `Ali a
husband for Fatima."
When the Mistress of all women
of the world was wed to the master of the Prophet's progeny (as),

1. What are the locks and keys of heaven?
2. Who was the messenger who was neither of the human nor of the
Jinn and who warned his people?
3. Which are the 5 beings who were created without the aid of
ovaries?
4 What are one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
ten, eleven and twelve?
The caliph thought over these questions for a time, then said, "I do
not know the answers to these questions. I will take you to a man
who is most knowledgeable in the commandments of Allah and the Holy
Prophet and the greatest among us. The caliph then brought the
Jewish scholars to Ali (a.s.). They asked the same questions to him.
Ali (a.s.) answered thus:
Ali was the only one
named by the Holy Prophet to bath his body after his death.
The privilege of
removing the symbols of Arab paganism from the Kaaba, (after the conquest of
Mecca)
was also reserved for
Ali.
Upon arriving, the Prophet placed Fatima's hand in Ali's hand and said: "May Allah bless his Messenger's daughter;
Prince of The Faithful (A.S.) acted in such an atrocious manner with his noble wife, while the Prophet says to him "Your conduct and looks are similar to mine, and you are from the same tree from which I came."
Prophet declared that Ali was the best man of his nation, for he was the most patient and best mannered one of them all, and says:
Al-Majlisi, quoting Fural Ibn Ibrahim's interpretation of The Holy Quran in his book Al-Bihar, said: 'Abu Saeed al-Khudari said: One morning Ali Ibn Abu Talib woke up very hungry and said:
Imam Ali (a.s.), remembering those momentus days, during a decisive period of his life, recalls "...
Every year he used to stay in a grotto of Hira' Mountain for some time, and nobody would be with him but I..."
Thus, he talked to Imam Ali (a.s.) and Khadijah about his Message and later on to Zaid bin Harithah. No one except these, and some others of his close household, knew about it.
Imam Ali bin Hussein (a.s.), in a speech about the Islam of his father, Ali bin Abi Talib (a.s.), said: "....and he believed in Allah, the Exalted, and in His Messenger. He preceded the others in Islam and in reciting prayers by a three year interval."
Umme Salama, the Prophet's wife, narrated that Allah's Messenger (P.B.U.H.)was present in her house when Fatima brought him an earthenware pot filled with wheat cooked with milk. He (P.B.U.H.) said: "Call in your husband and two sons for me." Thus, Ali, Al-Hassan and Al-Hussain came and joined him in eating the food. Meanwhile, he (P.B.U.H.) sat on a bench, covered with a Khairban cloak.
The chief of the Prophet's successors", he said, "the leader of the untainted ones at the Resurrection,
The most righteous among the believers, `Ali ibn Abi Talib, the Imam of right guidance,
Cut off the fingers of my right hand . . .
The first to reach the Gardens of Felicity,
The hero of the brave,
The avenger against the promoters of ignorance,
The giver of zakat . . .
The leader on the right and perfect path,
The speaker of what is true and appropriate,
The champion of Mecca,
The steadfast exceller. "
"Poor you!" said Ibn al-Kawwa', "He cut off your hand, and you extol him thus! "
Why should I not extol him", he said, "now that his friendship is mixed with flesh and blood?
I swear by God that he did not cut off my hand except with a right that God has established."
We, (the members) of the house (Ahl al-bayt) have seven qualities none of which the (rest of the) people have; From us (came) the Prophet may God bless him and his family ; From us came the trustee of authority (wasi),the best of this community after him (i.e. Prophet) ,'Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be on him , From us came Hamza, the lion of God and of His Apostle ,and the lord of martyrs; From us came Ja'far b. Abi Talib who is adorned by two wings with which he flies in heaven wherever he wishes; From us (came) the two grandsons of this community, the two lords of the youth of paradise, al-Hasan and al-Husayn; From us (came) the (one who will undertake the Imamate for the rest of time) Qa'im of the family of Muhammad, by which God graced His Prophet; From us (came) the one who was given (final) victory (al-mansur).
The Apostle of God, may God bless him and his family, spoke to 'Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be on him: "'Ali, you will be engaged in disputes but you will overcome any dispute by seven qualities, the like of which no one else has:
You are the first of those who believed with me,
The greatest of them in war,
The most knowledgeable of them in the battles (ayyam) on behalf of God,
The one of them who is most loyal in keeping the covenant (Uhad) of God,
The most compassionate of them towards subjects,
The most capable of giving equal treatment and the greatest of them in distinction before God."
