It is a fact that the enemies of prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are also the enemies of Allah. Anyone that denies this has a desease in their heart:
Quran 2:8-10
[2:8] And there are some people who say: We believe in Allah and the last day; and they are not at all believers. [2:9] They desire to deceive Allah and those who believe, and they deceive only themselves and they do not perceive. [2:10] There is a disease in their hearts, so Allah added to their disease and they shall have a painful chastisement because they lied. [2:11] And when it is said to them, Do not make mischief in the land, they say: We are but peace-makers. [2:12] Now surely they themselves are the mischief makers, but they do not perceive. [2:13] And when it is said to them: Believe as the people believe they say: Shall we believe as the fools believe? Now surely they themselves are the fools, but they do not know. [2:14] And when they meet those who believe, they say: We believe; and when they are alone with their Shaitans, they say: Surely we are with you, we were only mocking. [2:15] Allah shall pay them back their mockery, and He leaves them alone in their inordinacy, blindly wandering on. [2:16] These are they who buy error for the right direction, so their bargain shall bring no gain, nor are they the followers of the right direction.
ووَمِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَبِالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَمَا هُمْ بِمُؤْمِنِينَ {8} يُخَادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ {9} فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزَادَهُمُ اللَّهُ مَرَضًا ? وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ بِمَا كَانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ {10} وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالُوا إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ {11} أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ الْمُفْسِدُونَ وَلَ?كِنْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ {12} وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ آمِنُوا كَمَا آمَنَ النَّاسُ قَالُوا أَنُؤْمِنُ كَمَا آمَنَ السُّفَهَاءُ ? أَلَا إِنَّهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهَاءُ وَلَ?كِنْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ {13} وَإِذَا لَقُوا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا قَالُوا آمَنَّا وَإِذَا خَلَوْا إِلَى? شَيَاطِينِهِمْ قَالُوا إِنَّا مَعَكُمْ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُسْتَهْزِئُونَ {14} اللَّهُ يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِهِمْ وَيَمُدُّهُمْ فِي طُغْيَانِهِمْ يَعْمَهُونَ {15} أُولَ?ئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدَى? فَمَا رَبِحَتْ تِجَارَتُهُمْ وَمَا كَانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ {16}
Abu Sufian, Mua’awiya and their likes have joined the ranks of the Muslims (after the conquest of Macca) either out of fear or in order to infiltrate the ranks of the Muslims to destroy Islam and its followers from within. They joined after tiredlessly and fierlessly fighting the prophet and his followers from the onset of preaching to the conquest of Macca. They are called the Tulaqa’. Mua’awiya claimed to be a Muslim, yet, history testifies that his deeds are nothing but un-islamic.
In this section, I am reminding you of the true virtues of Ahlul Bayt in general, and of Imam Ali in particular. I will not provide any sources here as they are already in their respective articles. From these narrations, you will understand that the enemies of Ahlul Bayt are the enemies of the prophet, and therefore, they are also the enemies of Allah. Those who waged wars against the progeny of the prophet have directly waged wars against prophet Muhammad. Those who have wronged Ahlul Bayt, rebelled against them, persecuted them, direspected them, denied their virtues, belittled them, marginalized them, have also done the same to prophet Muhammad. They thought they were hurting Allah and His true followers. Nay, by Allah, they were hurting and deceiving themselves. They were buying their place in Hell. One cannot love the prophet, his progeny and loyal followers, and at the same time, love his staunch enemies. You need two unsynchronized (emotionally disconnected) hearts: one full of love and one full of hate!
Remember hadith al-Harb wal-Silm?
Abu Huraira narrated: The Prophet (PBUH) looked toward Ali, Hasan, Husain, and Fatimah (AS), and then said: “I am at war with those who will fight you, and at peace with those who are peaceful to you.”
نظر النبي -صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم- إلى علي، وفاطمة، والحسن، والحسين، فقال: (أنا حرب لمن حاربكم، وسلم لمن سالمكم).
Remember hadith al-Thaqalayn?
A’atiya narrated from Abu Saeid al-Khudri that the prophet said: “I am leaving among you the Thaqalayn. One of them is greater than the other. The Book of Allah and my progeny, my Ahlul Bayt. These two shall not separate from each other till they come to me by the Pool (of Paradise)” In another narration with the same Isnad: “I am leaving amongst you that which if you take (your religion) from you shall never stray after me. Two weighty things, one of them is greater than the other, the Book of Allah which is like a rope stretching from the Heaven to Earth and my progeny, my Ahlul Bayt. They will never separate until they meet me at the Fountain.”
حدّثنا ابن نمير، حدّثنا عبد الملك يعني ابن أبي سليمان، عن عطيّة، عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال: قال رسول الله(صلى الله عليه وآله): ((إنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ الآخَرِ كِتَابُ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجْلَّ حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَلاَ إنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيّ الحَوْضَ)). وبنفس السند يرويه أيضاً بلفظ: ((إنِّي قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكمُ مَا إِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِي، الثَّقَلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْ الآخَرِ كِتَابُ اللهِ حَبْلٌ مَمْدُودٌ مِنْ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ وَعِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي أَلاَ وَإنَّهُمَا لَـنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيّ الحَوْضَ))
Remember Hadith al-Mawaddat which was based on the following verse?
Quran 42:23
That is (the Bounty) whereof Allah gives Glad Tidings to His Servants who believe and do righteous deeds. Say: “No reward do I ask of you for this except the love of those near of kin (qurba).” And if any one earns any good, We shall give him an increase of good in respect thereof: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Ready to appreciate (service).
ذَلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ قُل لَّا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَى وَمَن يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَّزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ
Remember Hadith al-Mubahalat which was based on the following verse and in which Ali was the self of the prophet?
Quran 3:59-61
The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: “Be”. And he was. The Truth (comes) from Allah alone; so be not of those who doubt. If any one disputes in this matter with thee, now after (full) knowledge Hath come to thee, say: “Come! let us gather together, our sons and your sons, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves: Then let us earnestly pray, and invoke the curse of Allah on those who lie!”
إِنَّ مَثَلَ عِيسَى عِندَ اللّهِ كَمَثَلِ آدَمَ خَلَقَهُ مِن تُرَابٍ ثِمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كُن فَيَكُونُ {59} الْحَقُّ مِن رَّبِّكَ فَلاَ تَكُن مِّن الْمُمْتَرِينَ {60} فَمَنْ حَآجَّكَ فِيهِ مِن بَعْدِ مَا جَاءكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْاْ نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءنَا وَأَبْنَاءكُمْ وَنِسَاءنَا وَنِسَاءكُمْ وَأَنفُسَنَا وأَنفُسَكُمْ ثُمَّ نَبْتَهِلْ فَنَجْعَل لَّعْنَةُ اللّهِ عَلَى الْكَاذِبِينَ {61}
Remember Hadith al-Safina?
Ali narrated that the prophet said: “My Ahlul-Bayt are like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarks in it is saved, and whoever turns away from it will be thrown in the Fire.
وعن علي عليه السلم قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله : مثل أهل بيتي كمثل سفينة نوح من ركبها نجا ومن تعلق بها فاز ومن تخلف عنها زج في النار
Remember all the following virtues??
The Prophet said about Ahlul-Bayt: “Do not be ahead of them for you will perish, do not turn away from them for you will perish, and do not try to teach them since they know more than you do!”
فلا تقدموهما فتهلكوا ولا تقصروا عنهما. فتهلكوا ولا تعلوهم فإنهم أعلم منكم
Abu Sae’ed al-Khudri narrated that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH&HF) said: “My Ahlul-Bayt are like the Ark of Noah. Whoever embarked in it is saved, and whoever turns away from it will perish. My Ahlul Bayt are like the Gate of Repentance of the Children of Israel; whoever entered therein was forgiven.”
وعن أبي سعيد الخدري قال: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: “إنما مثل أهل بيتي فيكم كمثل سفينة نوح من ركبها نجا ومن تخلف عنها غرق، وإنما مثل أهل بيتي فيكم مثل باب حطة في إسرائيل من دخله غفر له”.
Imam Ali narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: “The stars are the security for the inhabitants of the heavens, and if the stars go away, the inhabitants of the heavens will be destroyed. And my Ahlul-Bayt are security for the inhabitants of the earth, and if my Ahlul-Bayt go away (i.e. all die), the inhabitants of the earth will be destroyed.
عن علي عليهالسلام قال قال رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم : النجوم أمان لأهل السماء ، فإذا ذهبت النجوم ذهب أهل السماء ، وأهل بيتي أمان لأهل الأرض ، فإذا ذهب أهل بيتي ذهب أهل الأرض. أخرجه أحمد في المناقب
al-Akwa’a ibn Salama narrated that the prophet said: “The stars are security for the inhabitants of the heavens and my Ahlul Bayt are the security of my Ummah.” al-Suyuti said the Isnad is hasan
النجوم أمان لأهل السماء، وأهل بيتي أمان لأمتي

The prohibition of hating Ahlul Bayt: By the One who owns my soul, no one will hate us, Ahlul Bayt but will be taken to Hell.
تحريم بغض أهل البيت:
والذي نفسي بيده لا يبغضنا أهل البيت أحدٌ إلا أدخله الله النار.
صحيح على شرط مسلم, قلت: وهو كما قال وبيض له الذهبي
The prophet said: You will be trialed through my Ahlul Bayt, after me.
حدثنا العباس بن حمدان الحنفي الأصبهاني ثنا عباد بن يعقوب الأسدي ثنا علي بن هاشم عن شقيق بن أبي عبد الله حدثني عمارة بن يحيى بن خالد بن عرفطة قال كنا عند خالد بن عرفطة يوم قتل الحسين بن علي رضي الله تعالى عنهما فقال لنا خالد هذا ما سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول إنكم ستبتلوان في أهل بيتي من بعدي
And now let’s remember the virtues of Imam Ali (as). Remember that in your daily prayers, when you send your blessings upon Muhammad and his progeny (aalihi), Ali is included.
remember that Ali is from the purified Ahlul Kisa’a:
Abu A’ammar said he was at the house of Wathila ibn al-Asqa’a. The people brought up the name of Ali and they insulted him. When they left, Wathila told Abu A’ammar to stay so he can tell him about the man they insulted. Wathila said: “One of these days, I was at the prophet’s house when Ali, Fatima, al-Hassan and al-Hussein came to him. The prophet covered them with his cloak then said ‘O Allah, these are my Ahlul Bayt, O Allah, keep away the uncleanness from them and purify them a thorough purifying.’ Wathila asked the prophet if he was from his family as well and the prophet responded in the affirmative.”
حدثنا علي بن عبد العزيز ثنا أبو نعيم ثنا عبد السلام بن حرب عن كلثوم بن زياد عن أبي عمار قال إني لجالس عند واثلة بن الأسقع إذ ذكروا عليا رضي الله عنه فشتموه فلما قاموا قال اجلس حتى أخبرك عن هذا الذي شتموا إني عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ذات يوم إذ جاء علي وفاطمة والحسن والحسين رضي الله تعالى عنهم فألقى عليهم كساء له ثم قال اللهم هؤلاء أهل بيتي اللهم أذهب عنهم الرجس وطهرهم تطهيرا فقلت يا رسول الله وأنا قال وأنت قال فوالله إنها لأوثق عمل في نفسي
“He who insults Ali, insults me. He who insults me, insults Allah. And he who insults Allah, Allah will throw him into Hell”
من سب عليا فقد سبني، ومن سبني فقد سب الله

Was not Ali insulted for 90 years on the pulpits of Bani Umayya, a practice instituted by Mua’awiya!
The Prophet 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 and at one another. Abu Bakr and Umar were there. Abu Bakr inquired if he was that person and the Prophet replied in the negative. Then Umar inquired if he was that person and the Prophet, 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.”
خبرنا أبو جعفر محمد بن علي الشيباني بالكوفة من أصل كتابه، حدثنا أحمد بن حازم بن أبي غرزة، حدثنا أبو غسان، حدثنا عبد السلام بن حرب، حدثنا الأعمش، عن إسماعيل بن رجاء، عن أبيه، عن أبي سعيد -رضي الله تعالى عنه-. قال ابن أبي غرزة: وحدثنا عبيد الله بن موسى، حدثنا فطر بن خليفة، عن إسماعيل بن رجاء، عن أبيه، عن أبي سعيد -رضي الله تعالى عنه- قال: كنا مع رسول الله -صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم- فانقطعت نعله فتخلف عليٌّ يخصفها، فمشى قليلا ثم قال: (إن منكم من يقاتل على تأويل القرآن، كما قاتلت على تنزيله). فاستشرف لها القوم، وفيهم أبو بكر وعمر -رضي الله تعالى عنهما-.
قال أبو بكر: أنا هو؟
قال: (لا).
قال عمر: أنا هو؟
قال: (لا).
ولكن خاصف النعل، يعني: عليا.
فأتيناه فبشرناه، فلم يرفع به رأسه، كأنه قد كان سمعه من رسول الله -صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم-. هذا حديث صحيح على شرط الشيخين، ولم يخرجاه.
U’uqab ibn Tha’alaba mentioned that Abu Ayub al-Ansari told him during the caliphate of Umar: “The Messenger of Allah instructed Ali to fight the Nakitheen (betrayers), the Qasiteen (deviants) and the Mariqeen (apostates)”
عن عقاب بن ثعلبة قال: حدثني أبو أيوب الأنصاري في خلافة عمر بن الخطاب قال: أمر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، علي بن أبي طالب بقتال الناكثين، والقاسطين والمارقين
ibn Abbas narrated: “Abu Bakr, Umar and Abu Ubaydah ibn al-Jarrah were with the prophet, and he was leaning on Ali. The prophet patted Ali’s shoulder and said: ‘O Ali! You are the first among the believers, the first (man) to embrace Islam, and your status to me is similar to that of Aaron to Moses.”
(مسند عمر) عن ابن عباس قال: قال عمر بن الخطاب: كفوا عن ذكر علي بن أبي طالب فإني سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: في علي ثلاث خصال لأن يكون لي واحدة منهن أحب إلي مما طلعت عليه الشمس، كنت أنا وأبو بكر وأبو عبيدة بن الجراح ونفر من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم متكئ على علي بن أبي طالب حتى ضرب بيده على منكبه ثم قال: أنت يا علي! أول المؤمنين إيمانا وأولهم إسلاما! ثم قال: أنت مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى، وكذب علي من زعم أنه يحبني ويبغضك. الحسن بن بدر فيما رواه الخلفاء والحاكم في الكنى والشيرازي في الألقاب وابن النجار. (طب – عن ابن عباس)
Umm Salama who said: The Messenger of Allah said: “Ali is with Quran, and Quran is with Ali. They shall not separate from each other till they both return to me by the Pool (of Paradise).”
خبرنا أبو بكر محمد بن عبد الله الحفيد، حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن نصر، حدثنا عمرو بن طلحة القناد، الثقة، المأمون، حدثنا علي بن هاشم بن البريد، عن أبيه قال: حدثني أبو سعيد التيمي، عن أبي ثابت مولى أبي ذر قال:
كنت مع علي -رضي الله تعالى عنه- يوم الجمل، فلما رأيت عائشة واقفة، دخلني بعض ما يدخل الناس، فكشف الله عني ذلك عند صلاة الظهر. فقاتلت مع أمير المؤمنين، فلما فرغ، ذهبت إلى المدينة، فأتيت أم سلمة فقلت:
إني والله ما جئت أسأل طعاما ولا شرابا، ولكني مولى لأبي ذر، فقالت: مرحبا، فقصصت عليها قصتي.
فقالت: أين كنت حين طارت القلوب مطائرها؟
قلت: إلى حيث كشف الله ذلك عني، عند زوال الشمس.
قال: أحسنت، سمعت رسول الله -صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم- يقول:
(علي مع القرآن، والقرآن مع علي، لن يتفرقا حتى يردا علي الحوض).

“O Allah! turn the haqq with Ali wherever he (‘Ali) turns”
ال رسول الله -صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم: رحم الله عليا، اللهم أدر الحق معه حيث دار – التخريج (برموز السيوطي): (ن) عن علي – تصحيح السيوطي: صحيح
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Shu’ba with the same chain of transmitters. Amir b. Sa’d b. Abi Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that Muawiya b. Abi Sufyin appointed Sa’d as the Governor and said: What prevents you from abusing Abu Turab (Hadrat ‘Ali), whereupon he said: It is because of three things which I remember Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said about him that I would not abuse him and even if I find one of those three things for me, it would be more dear to me than the red camel. I heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) say about ‘Ali as he left behind him in one of his campaigns (that was Tabuk). ‘Ali said to him: Allah’s Messenger, you leave me behind along with women and children. Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to him: Aren’t you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there is no prophethood after me. And I (also) heard him say on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah and his Messenger love him too. He (the narrator) said: We have been anxiously waiting for it, when he (the Holy Prophet) said: Call ‘Ali. He was called and his eyes were inflamed. He applied saliva to his eyes and handed over the standard to him, and Allah gave him victory. (The third occasion is this) when the (following) verse was revealed:” Let us summon our children and your children.” Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) called ‘Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husain and said: O Allah, they are my family.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، – وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ – قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمٌ، – وَهُوَ ابْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ – عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ مِسْمَارٍ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ أَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ سَعْدًا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَسُبَّ أَبَا التُّرَابِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ ثَلاَثًا قَالَهُنَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَلَنْ أَسُبَّهُ لأَنْ تَكُونَ لِي وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ أَحَبُّ إِلَىَّ مِنْ حُمْرِ النَّعَمِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ لَهُ خَلَّفَهُ فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خَلَّفْتَنِي مَعَ النِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ” أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلاَّ أَنَّهُ لاَ نُبُوَّةَ بَعْدِي ” . وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ خَيْبَرَ ” لأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ رَجُلاً يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ ” . قَالَ فَتَطَاوَلْنَا لَهَا فَقَالَ ” ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيًّا ” . فَأُتِيَ بِهِ أَرْمَدَ فَبَصَقَ فِي عَيْنِهِ وَدَفَعَ الرَّايَةَ إِلَيْهِ فَفَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ { فَقُلْ تَعَالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَأَبْنَاءَكُمْ} دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلِيًّا وَفَاطِمَةَ وَحَسَنًا وَحُسَيْنًا فَقَالَ ” اللَّهُمَّ هَؤُلاَءِ أَهْلِي ” .
The prophet said to Ali: “You are from me, and I am from you”
أنت مني وأنا منك – قاله لعلي.
(ق (أخرجه الترمذي كتاب المناقب باب مناقب علي رقم (3717) وقال حسن صحيح ص) عن البراء؛ ك – عن علي).
Um Salama narrated that she heard the prophet say to Ali: “None will love you but a believer and none will hate you but a hypocrite.”
عن مساور الحميري عن أمه عن أم سلمة قالت: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول لعلي: لا يحبك إلا مؤمن، ولا يبغضك إلا منافق
Abdullah al-Jadali said that he went to Um Salama and she told him: “Has anyone among you insulted the prophet?” I responded: “God forbid or something similar to it.” She then narrated to me that the prophet said: “He who insults Ali, insults me.”
وعن عبد الله الجدلي قال: دخلت على أم سلمة فقالت لي: أيسب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فيكم، قلت: معاذ الله، أو سبحان الله، أو كلمة نحوها، قالت: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول: من سب عليا، فقد سبني
The prophet told Ali: “You are my brother in this World and the Hereafter
أنت أخي في الدنيا والآخرة – قاله لعلي
Abu Bakr narrated: “The prophet sent me with the verses of al-Bara’ to Mecca to proclaim that no idolater shall after this year perform the pilgrimage, and no one shall make the circuit of the Holy House naked, and no unbeliever shall enter paradise, and whoever hath a treaty with the Prophet, it shall be respected till its termination and Allah and His prophet are innocent from the unbelievers. Three days after leaving leaving Medina, the prophet sent Ali to make the proclamation instead, and he did. When I returned to Medina, I visited the prophet crying and wondering if he had received a decree from Allah against him. The prophet said: ‘you have not done anything wrong, but I was instructed that no one shall proclaim the revelation but myself or someone from me.'”
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ قَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ يُثَيْعٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَهُ بِبَرَاءَةٌ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ لَا يَحُجُّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِكٌ وَلَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُدَّةٌ فَأَجَلُهُ إِلَى مُدَّتِهِ وَاللَّهُ بَرِيءٌ مِنْ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَسَارَ بِهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ الْحَقْهُ فَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَبَلِّغْهَا أَنْتَ قَالَ فَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَكَى قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَدَثَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ قَالَ مَا حَدَثَ فِيكَ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ وَلَكِنْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ لَا يُبَلِّغَهُ إِلَّا أَنَا أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنِّي
The prophet said: “I am the city of knowledge, and Ali is its gate. If you want to enter the city, then you must enter from its gate.
قال: قال رسول الله -صلَّى الله عليه وسلَّم-: (أنا مدينة العلم، وعلي بابها، فمن أراد المدينة، فليأت الباب). هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه.
The messenger of Allah said: “Whoever obeys me obeys Allah and whoever disobeys me also disobeys Allah. Whoever obeys Ali has obeyed me, and whoever disobeys Ali has disobeyed me.” This hadith is authentic based on the Isnad but they (al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
أخبرنا أبو أحمد محمد الشيباني من أصل كتابه، حدثنا علي بن سعيد بن بشير الرازي بمصر، حدثنا الحسن بن حماد الحضرمي، حدثنا يحيى بن يعلى، حدثنا بسام الصيرفي، عن الحسن بن عمرو الفقيمي، عن معاوية بن ثعلبة، عن أبي ذر -رضي الله تعالى عنه- قال: قال رسول الله -من أطاعني فقد أطاع الله، ومن عصاني فقد عصى الله.ومن أطاع عليا فقد أطاعني، ومن عصى عليا فقد عصاني). هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، ولم يخرجاه
Abu Dharr al-Ghifari narrated that the prophet said: “O Ali, he who abandons me has abandoned Allah, and he who abandons you has abandoned me.”
وعن معاوية بن ثعلبة عن أبي ذر قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: يا علي: إنه من فارقني فقد فارق الله، ومن فارقك فقد فارقني
Abu Dharr narrated that the prophet said: “I will send to Bani Rabeea’at a man like myself, who will execute upon them my order and will fight a great battle…”, then Umar from behind me wondered who that person was. I responded to him: ‘Is he referring to you and your friend?’ Umar asked again: ‘Who is he referring to?’ Abu Dharr responded: ‘he is the one repairing the shoe’, and Ali was repairing the shoe (of the prophet).
أخبرنا : العباس بن محمد ، حدثنا : الأحوص بن جواب قال : ، حدثنا : يونس بن أبي إسحاق ، عن أبي إسحاق عن زيد بن يثيع عن أبي رضي الله عنه، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: لينتهين بنو ربيعة، أو لأبعثن عليهم رجلا كنفسي، ينفذ فيهم أمري، فيقتل المقاتلة، ويسبي الذرية، فما راعني إلا وكف عمر في حجزتي من خلفي: من يعني؟ قلت: إياك يعني وصاحبك؟ قال: فمن يعني؟ قلت: خاصف النعل، قال: وعلي يخصف النعل
Muhammad ibn alMuthanna, he from Yahya ibn Hammad, from Abu ‘Uwwanah, from Sulayman, from Habib ibn Abi Thabit, from Abu alTufayl, from Zayd ibn Arqam, who said:
“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 (both) 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.'”
فقد أخرج النسائي في «خصائص أمير المؤمنين» بسنده إلى زيد بن أرقم، قال: «لمّا رجع رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلم من حجة الوداع ونزل غدير خم أمر بدوحات فقُمِمْنَ، ثم قال: «كأني قد دُعيتُ فأجبتُ، إني تركتُ فيكم الثقلين أحدهما أكبر من الآخر، كتاب الله وعترتي أهل بيتي، فانظروا كيف تخلفوني فيهما، فإنهما لن يفترقا حتى يردا عليّ الحوض»، ثم قال: «إنّ الله مولاي، وأنا ولي كل مؤمن»، ثم أخذ بيد علي فقال: «من كنت وليّه، فهذا وليّه، اللّهم وال من والاه، وعاد عاداه» فقلتُ لزيد: سمعته من رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلم؟ فقال: ما كان في الدوحات أحد إلا رآه بعينيه وسمعه بأذنيه
The prophet angrily said: “What do you want from Ali? What do you want from Ali? What do you want from Ali? Certainly, Ali is from me and I am from him, and he is the Wali of the believers after me!”.”
ا تريدون من علي؟ ما تريدون من علي؟ ما تريدون من علي؟ إن عليا مني وأنا منه وهو ولي كل مؤمن بعدي
The prophet said: “Aren’t you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there is no prophethood after me”
أما ترضى أن تكون مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى إلا أنه لا نبي بعدي
Abi Laila al-Ghifari narrated that he heard the prophet said: “There will be Fitna (sedition) after me, and when it happens, you must adhere to Ali ibn Abi Talib. He is the foremost of the believers and the first to shake my hands on the Day of Resurrection, he is the most righteous (al-Siddiq al-Akbar), the distinguisher (al-Faruq) of this Ummah, the leader of the faithful, while money is the master of the wrong-doers.”
بو ليلى الغفاري، ذكره أبو أحمد وابن منده وغيرهما، وأخرجوا من طريق إسحاق بن بشر الأسدي أحد المتروكين عن خالد بن الحارث عن عوف عن الحسن عن أبي ليلى الغفاري قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله و سلم يقول: سيكون من بعدي فتنة فإذا كان ذلك فألزموا علي بن أبي طالب فإنه أول من آمن بي وأول من يصافحني يوم القيامة وهو الصديق الأكبر وهو فاروق هذه الأمة وهو يعسوب المؤمنين والمال يعسوب المنافقين
The prophet said: “Looking at the face of Ali is a form of worship.”
النظر إلى وجه علي عبادة
The prophet said: “Ali is the leader (master) of the believers and money is the leader (master) of the wrong-doers”
لي يعسوب المؤمنين، والمال يعسوب المنافقين التخريج (برموز السيوطي): (عد) عن علي التخريج (مفصلا): ابن عدي في الكامل عن علي
The prophet said: “Me and Ali ibn Abi Talib were a Nur (light) in the hands of Allah 4000 years before Adam was created. When Adam was created, Allah split this Nur in half: one half was me and the other was Ali.”
نت انا وعلي بن ابى طالب نورا بين يدي الله عز وجل قبل ان يخلق آدم باربعة آلاف عام ، فلما خلق آدم قسم ذلك النور جزءين ، فجزء انا وجزء علي.
Jabir ibn Abdullah narrated that the prophet said to Ali: “O Ali, the people are from various trees, but you and I are from the one tree.” Then the prophet read the verse: ‘and gardens of grapes and corn and palm trees having one root and (others) having distinct roots; they are watered with one water’.
أخبرني الحسين بن علي التميمي ، ثنا أبو العباس أحمد بن محمّد ، ثنا هارون بن حاتم ، أنبأ عبد الرحمن بن أبي حماد ، حدثني إسحاق بن يوسف عن عبد الله بن محمّد بن عقيل عن جابر بن عبد الله قال : سمعت رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم يقول لعلي : يا علي ، الناس من شجر شتى وأنا وأنت من شجرة واحدة ، ثم قرأ رسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ( وَجَنَّاتٌ مِنْ أَعْنابٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوانٍ يُسْقى بِماءٍ واحِدٍ ).
هذا حديث صحيح الاسناد ولم يخرجاه
The prophet had a bird to eat and he supplicated Allah to send him His most beloved creation (after the prophet) to eat with him. Ali came.
حدثنا عبيد العجلي ثنا إبراهيم بن سعد الجوهري ثنا حسين بن محمد ثنا سليمان بن قرم عن فطر بن خليفة عن عبد الرحمن بن أبي نعم عن سفينة مولى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أتى بطير فقال اللهم ائتني بأحب خلقك إليك يأكل معي من هذا الطير فجاء علي رضي الله تعالى عنه فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم اللهم وال (ت عن زيد بن أرقم).
Malik ibn Anas narrated from al-Zuhri, from Anas ibn Malik, from Umar ibn al-Khattab, from Abu Bakr who said that he heard Abu Huraira said: “I came to the prophet who had in his hands dates, I greeted him and greeted back and gave me a handful of dates. I counted them to be 73. I carried on my way to Ali ibn Abi Talib and he had in his hands dates. I greeted him then he greeted back and he laughed with me. Then he gave me a handful of dates and I counted them and they were 73. My amazement grew, so I went back to the prophet and I said to him: ‘O messenger of Allah, I came to you and there were dates in your hands, you gave me some then I counted them and there were 73. Then I went to Ali and he had dates in his hands, he gave me some and when I counted them, there were 73. So I was amazed from that.’ The prophet smiled and said: ‘O Abu Hurayra, do you not know that my hand and the hand of Ali are the same in justice?'”
خبرنا : أبو الحسن بن سعيد ، نا : وأبو النجم الشيحي ، أنا : أبوبكر الخطيب ، أنا : أبو العلاء محمد بن علي ، أنا : أبو العباس الحسين بن علي بن محمد الحلبي ببغداد ، نا : قاسم بن إبراهيم ، أنا : أبو أمية المحتط ، حدثني : مالك بن أنس ، عن الزهري ، عن أنس بن مالك ، عن عمر بن الخطاب ، حدثني : أبوبكر الصديق قال : سمعت أبا هريرة يقول : جئت إلى النبي (ص) وبين يديه تمر فسلمت عليه فرد علي وناولني من التمر ملء كفه عددته ثلاثا وسبعين تمرة ثم مضيت من عنده إلى علي بن أبي طالب وبين يديه تمر فسلمت عليه فرد علي وضحك إلي وناولني من التمر ملء كفه فعددته فإذا هو ثلاث وسبعين تمرة ، فكثر تعجبي من ذلك فرحت إلى النبي (ص) فقلت : يا رسول الله جئتك وبين يديك تمر فناولتني من كفك فعددته ثلاثا وسبعين تمرة ، ثم مضيت إلى علي بن أبي طالب وبين يديه تمر فناولني من كفه فعددته ثلاثا وسبعين تمرة ، فعجبت من ذلك فتبسم النبي (ص) وقال : يا أبا هريرة أو ما علمت أن يدي ويد علي بن أبي طالب في العدل سواء
Such are some of the virtues of Ahlul Bayt. How can you be pleased with Mua’awiya and his likes and at the same time claim to love Ahlul Bayt??? Is this the kind of message the prophet was sent to preach? Is this not absurdity? Any court who studies the biography of Mua’awiya and his surroundings will conclude this person was a criminal, a murderer, a merciless tyrant, a disgrace to humanity. But only those with clear minds, impartiality and no blind attachment to their denomination can see this.
It is not because is a Badri (participated in the battle of Badr) or gave allegiance to the prophet under the true (al-Hudaybiya) that his abode is Heaven. This is a misconception, as discussed in the chapter of the companions. No matter who you are, if you turn your back to religion, you are doomed. Remember that.
There is a clear line separating the Muslims who remained loyal to the prophet from those who became disloyal. Those who were disloyal are the enemies of Allah because they deviated from their religion and they fought and massacred the purified progeny of the prophet, after the message was made clear to them.
These people include those who fought Ali in the battles of the Camel, Siffin and Nahrawan. Some of them repented right before the battles, others after, and more continued to be hostile to Ali and his descendants for centuries. Two of those who fit the last group are Mua’awiyah and his son Yazid.
We all know that Mua’awiya fought Ali in the battle of Siffin. We all know that his associates participated in the battle of the Camel, against Ali. Some of these people were Walid ibn Uqbah and Marwan ibn al-Hakam. His son Yazid fought the descendants of Ali to death, killing his entire family except few. He decapitated the grandson of the prophet, al-Hussein (as) in Karbala. Is it not clear from what they have done, and from the narrations above that these people were the enemies of Islam? They also misguded the Muslims by fabricating prophetic narrations and attributed them to the prophet and his prominent companions. These two and their successors from Bani Ummayya have ordered the curse of Ali on the minbars of the mosques for nine decades!
Do I need to say more to you in order to believe that Mua’awiya and his successors are by enlarge, the ones to blame for our misery today? For our differences? They are the ones who caused the differences between our prayers, wudu’, adhan, beliefs, interpretation of the Quran and jurisprudence. They are the ones who misled the Muslims since Mua’awiya took over al-Sham and refused to pledge allegiance to Ali, who was legitimately elected as caliph of the Muslims. He knew well that Ali was going to remove him from his rulership, that he was going to lose all the his worldly things. So instead of pledging his allegiance, he decided to fight Ali so he can become the caliph of the Muslims himself? Do you call such a human a Muslim? The seeds of satan were in him, his son and most of his descendants! No one dared to fight him and defend the religion of the prophet except the progeny of the prophet and their few followers. They were either all scared of fighting in the way of Allah, or they were enjoying the worldly things that the Ummayyad bribed them with!!!! It sickens me to talk about them!
Oh reader, read and know your true history and not the distorted one you were made to believe! Many scholars were bought by the Ummayyads to distort the history of Islam. Many books have been written to deceive us! Don’t be trapped!
Do you recall this tradition about the companions who will be driven to hell by a man standing between the prophet and the other people? In Sahih al-Bukhari (Book of al-Riqaq):
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “While I was sleeping, a group (of my followers were brought close to me), and when I recognized them, a man came out from amongst (us) me and them, he said (to them), ‘Come along.’ I asked, ‘Where?’ He said, ‘To the (Hell) Fire, by Allah’ I asked, ‘what is wrong with them’ He said, ‘They turned apostate as renegades after you left.’ Then behold! (Another) group (of my followers) were brought close to me, and when I recognized them, a man came out from (me and them) he said (to them); Come along.’ I asked, “Where?’ He said, ‘To the (Hell) Fire, by Allah.’ I asked, What is wrong with them?’ He said, ‘They turned apostate as renegades after you left. So I did not see anyone of them escaping except a few who were like camels without a shepherd.”
حدثنا إبراهيم بن المنذر الحزامي حدثنا محمد بن فليح حدثنا أبي قال حدثني هلال بن علي عن عطاء بن يسار عن أبي هريرة عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال بينا أنا قائم إذا زمرة حتى إذا عرفتهم خرج رجل من بيني وبينهم فقال هلم فقلت أين قال إلى النار والله قلت وما شأنهم قال إنهم ارتدوا بعدك على أدبارهم القهقرى ثم إذا زمرة حتى إذا عرفتهم خرج رجل من بيني وبينهم فقال هلم قلت أين قال إلى النار والله قلت ما شأنهم قال إنهم ارتدوا بعدك على أدبارهم القهقرى فلا أراه يخلص منهم إلا مثل همل النعم
I challenge you to be a true servant of Allah and not that of your Madh-had, but reading the historical records, by reading what the unbiased scholars say about most of these narrations. Embrace the truth wherever it comes from. In the end, you will be standing alone in front of your Creature and you will asked about everything you have done. You will be asked why you have blindly adhered to such and such scholar and Imam without investigation. So wake up, read and educate yourself and your surrounding. No matter what the truth is, accept it. You will be doing yourself a big favor. Be truthful in your research, have genuine intentions, and surely Allah will guide you towards the Truth.
I would like to end this section with the following two narrations from the prophet:
Sahih Muslim (Kitab al-Imarat, Book 20, Hadith 4568):
Abu Sae’ed al-Khudri narrated that the prophet said: “When oath of allegiance has been taken for two caliphs, kill the one for whom the oath was taken later.”
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي، نَضْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم “ إِذَا بُويِعَ لِخَلِيفَتَيْنِ فَاقْتُلُوا الآخَرَ مِنْهُمَا ”
Sahih Muslim (Kitab al-Imarat, Book 20, Hadith 4546):
It has been narrated on the authority of Abdul Rahman ibn Abd Rabb al-Ka’ba who said: I entered the mosque when Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-A’as was sitting in the shade of the Ka’aba and the people had gathered around him. I betook myself to them and sat near him. (Now) Abdullah said: I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on a journey. We halted at a place. Some of us began to set right their tents, others began to compete with one another in shooting, and others began to graze their beasts, when an announcer of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) announced that the people should gather together for prayer, so we gathered around the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him). He said: It was the duty of every Prophet that has gone before me to guide his followers to what he knew was good for them and warn them against what he knew was bad for them; but this Umma of yours has its days of peace and (security) in the beginning of its career, and in the last phase of its existence it will be afflicted with trials and with things disagreeable to you. (In this phase of the Umma), there will be tremendous trials one after the other, each making the previous one dwindle into insignificance. When they would be afflicted with a trial, the believer would say: This is going to bring about my destruction. When at (the trial) is over, they would be afflicted with another trial, and the believer would say: This surely is going to be my end. Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and enter the garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the people as he wishes to be treated by them. He who swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the piedge of his hand and the sincerity of his heart (i. e. submit to him both outwardly as well as inwardly). He should obey him to the best of his capacity. If another man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should behead the latter. The narrator says: I came close to him (Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-A’as) and said to him: Can you say on oath that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him)? He pointed with his hands to his ears and his heart and said: My ears heard it and my mind retained it. I said to him: This cousin of yours, Mua’awiya, orders us to unjustly consume our wealth among ourselves and to kill one another, while Allah says:” O ye who believe, do not consume your wealth among yourselves unjustly, unless it be trade based on mutual agreement, and do not kill yourselves. Verily, God is Merciful to you” (iv. 29). The narrator says that (hearing this) Abdullah b. ‘Amr b. al-As kept quiet for a while and then said: Obey him in so far as he is obedient to God; and disobey him in matters involving disobedience to God.
