Chapter 19. The Virtues Of ‘All
Bin Abi Talib, May Allah Be
Pleased With Him. It Is Said
That He Has Two Kunyah: Abli
Turäb, And Abiil-Hasan
- ‘Imrän bin Husain narrated
that the Messenger of Allah
dispatched an army and he put ‘All
bin Abi Talib in charge of it. He
left on the expedition and he
entered upon a female slave. So
four of the Companions of the
Messenger of Allah scolded
him, and they made a pact saying:
“[If] we meet the Messenger of
Allah llj we will inform him of
what ‘All did.” When the Muslims
returned from the journey, they
would begin with the Messenger of
Allah and give him Salam, then
they would go to their homes. So
when the expedition arrived, they
gave Salam to the Prophet , and
one of the four stood saying: “0
Messenger of Allah! Do you see
that ‘All bin Abi Tãlib did such and
such.” The Messenger of Allah
turned away from him. Then the
second one stood and said as he
said, and he turned away from him.
Then the third stood before him,
and said as he said, and he turned
away from him. Then the fourth
stood and said as they had said.
The Messenger of Allah faced
him, and the anger was visible on
his face, he said: “What do you
want from ‘All?! What do you want
from ‘All?! What do you want from
‘All?! Indeed ‘Allis from me, and I
am from him, and he is the ally of
every believer after me.” (Ijasan)
