“Ek riwayat me Hazrat Anas bin Maalik Radiallahu anhoo se marvi hai aur yehi riwayat Hazrat Abu Hurairah Radiallahu anhoo, Hazrat Muaaz ibne Jabal Radiallahu anhoo se bayan karte hain ke Huzoor Nabi Akram ﷺ ne farmaya:Ali (as) ke Chehre ko takna Ibadat hai.”

“Ek taweel riwayt me Hazrat Taleeq ibne Muhammad Radiallahu anhoo bayan karte hain ke maine Hazrat Imran bin Hussain ko dekha ke wo Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam ko tikaki lagakar dekhrahe they. Kisine Unse pucha (ke aap aisa kyun karrahe hain?) Unhone farmaya: Maine Huzoor Nabi Akram ﷺ ko farmate hue suna hai: Ali ke Chehre ki taraf dekhna ibadat hai.”
Is Hadees ko Imam Tabrani ne riwayat kiya hai.
“Hazrat Souban Radiallahu anhoo aur Hazrat Jabir ibne Abdullah Radiallahu anhoo dono ne bayan kiya ke Huzoor Nabi Akram ﷺ ne farmaya: Ali ki taraf dekhna Ibadat hai.” Is Hadees ko Imam ibne Asakir ne riwayat kiya hai.

So Maine Unse pucha: Ay Abbajaan! kya wajah hai ke Aap kasrat se Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam in ke Chehre ki taraf takte rehte hain? Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq Radiallahu anhoo ne farmaya: Ay Meri Beti! Maine Huzoor ! Nabi Akram ﷺ ko farmate suna: Ali ke Chehre ko takna Ibadat hai.”

To Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam unse kaha: Aye : Usman! kya hua? Kya wajah hai ke aap mujhe is tarah musalsal nigaah jamaye dekh rahe hain? Hazrat Usman Radiallahu anhoo ne kaha: Maine Huzoor Nabi Akram ﷺ ko farmate hue suna hai: Ali ki taraf dekhna Ibadat hai.”
Is Hadees ko Imam ibne Asakir ne riwayat kiya hai.
A special privilege of Hazrat Fatima AlahisSalam is that though in Islam one can marry four wives, but to bring co-wife of Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam was prohibited. This would bring sorrow to her, which is equal to bring sorrow to Huzur ﷺ It is given in Sahih Bukhari, Muslim, Sunan-i-Abi Daud, Tirmizi, Nasai that while delivering his holy lecture, Huzur ﷺ said,
Translation: “Bani Hashim-bin-Mughera (i.e. from the family of Abu Jahal), have sought permission from me to marry their daughter to Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam. I won’t, won’t, won’t give permission for this. Yes! If Ali AlaihisSalam wishes to marry her, he may divorce my daughter and proceed further to marry the daughter of that family. My daughter is very dear to me. What displeases her, equally displeases me too. The thing that hurts her hurts me too.” (From Sahih Muslim Vol-2, p-290, Tirmizi Vol-2, p-227)
While giving an explanation of this Hadith, Imam Navavi. writes,
Translation: The learned people (Ulma) have said, “Whatsoever the conditions may be, it is forbidden to hurt Huzur ﷺ. Even if it is legal to go against him, it should be avoided. That is, he should never be displeased and hurt. He is immortal.”
It is the greatness of Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam that, though in those days the Arabs used to marry many wives at a time because it was their tradition, he religiously followed Huzur ﷺ instructions. Consequently, till Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam was alive, he did not even think of another marriage.
Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam virtue had a great effect on Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam. Hence, she wrote in her will, “After me, please get married to Umama Bint-i-Abul Aas Radiallahu anhoo.” Umama was Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam loved niece and her elder sister Hazrat Zainab’s daughter. Huzur ﷺ had a deep love for his granddaughter. Hazrat Umama’s father, Hazrat Abul Aas Radiallahu anhoo had instructed Hazrat Zubeir Radiallahu anhoo in his will that his daughter, Hazrat Umama Radiallahu anhoo should be wedded with Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam Hazrat Zubair Radiallahu anhoo did so. In this way, Hazrat Saiyeda’s AlahisSalam will also was implemented. The wish was repeated in both the wills because both of them were very much pleased with Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam fine sense of civic duties and obligations. In their eyes, there was no other better husband than Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam
The best manifestation of the Prophet ﷺ life
Imam Sufiyan bin Ayina Imam Bukhari etc.’s spiritual master’s master and a high-esteemed learned person of hadith, says, “Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam is the greatest devotee among the Sa’ahabas.”
(Avarif-ul-Ma’arif Ala Ihya-ul-Ulum Vol-2)
Huzurﷺ From this, it can be imagined what great self-control and love for the devotion he had. Hazrat Saiyeda’s AlahisSalam self-control and love for devotion also reflected the prophethood during her life. The process of bringing up of both these persons by Huzur ﷺ gave them the shape of perfect religion and noble personality. Due to religious attitude and perfect divine contentment, for many days, Huzur ﷺ had to go without food, Hazrat Ali AlaihisSalam and Hazrat Fatima AlahisSalam is also went without food for many times. Once, went to one of the Sa’ahabis. He had sacrificed a she-goat and manged for the meal. When the food was offered, Huzur ﷺtook a little from the cooked meat and said, “Send this to Fatimah. Since many days she could not get food.” (A brief quotation from Sahih Muslim Vol-2, p-150)
Hazrat Fatima AlahisSalam religious interest, contentment, poverty and self-control were exemplary and created a great effect on the hearts of other people. A learned person describes this as under:
“Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam was the most loved of Huzur ﷺ offsprings. People had almost forgotten about the maintenance of continence and selfcontrol. Due to victory over victory, the whole of Medina was bursting out of wealth and riches. But do you know what share did Huzur ﷺ loved child get? Before listening to this, the eyes should be full of tears.”
Saiyeda-e-Aalam SalamUllahAlaiha domestic life was such that her hands received blisters due to constant grinding. She herself had to perform all the domestic works. She had such limited clothes that while cooking, due to the smoke, and due to the dust from sweeping, they would be blackened. But, when she narrated her hardship to Huzur ﷺ and requested some money from the treasure of loots, he said, “O my dear daughter, the poor of Badr are more rightful claimants of this wealth than you.” After this, Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam faith in fasting, poverty and detachment became stronger.
Once Huzur-i-Anwaarﷺ came to Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam house and saw that due to indigency, she had such a small scarf (dupatta) that when she tried to cover the head, the legs were open and when tried to cover legs, the head was barren. Allama Shibli writes,
“Such was the life of holy Prophet ﷺ and the conditions of the holy daughter is.”
Huzur ﷺ always tried to minimize his requirements without considering the opinions of the people. Once Huzur ﷺ returned from a crusade and saw that Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam had hung curtains on the entrance for his welcome. On his normal course, Huzur ﷺ came to her house and when he saw this-worldly decoration, returned. When Hazrat Saiyeda AlahisSalam came to know about his displeasure, she removed the curtain and tore it into pieces. This removed Huzur ﷺ displeasure, and he said, “I do not wish that my kith and kins are interested in the worldly decorations and show.”
हज़रत सुलैमान अलैहिस्सलाम के दरबारे आली में एक आदमी घबराया हुआ हाज़िर हुआ और अर्ज करने लगा कि हुजूर हवा को हुक्म दीजिये कि मुझे सरज़मीने हिंद में पहुंचा दे। हज़रत सुलैमान अलैहिस्सलाम ने फ़रमाया बात क्या हुई? यहां से क्यों जाना चाहते हो। वह कहने लगा कि हुजूर अभी-अभी मैंने म ल कुल मौत को देखा है जो मुझे घूर घूर कर देख रहा था। वह देखिये अब भी घूर रहा है। हुजूर मेरी खैर नहीं। मुझे अभी हिंद पहुंचा दीजिये । हज़रत सुलैमान ने हवा को हुक्म दिया और हवा फ़ौरन उसको हिंद छोड़ आई। थोड़ी देर के बाद म ल कुल मौत हज़रत सुलैमान के पास आया और अर्ज़ करने लगा हुजूर सुना आपने उस आदमी का किस्सा? खुदा का मुझे हुक्म हुआ कि उस शख्स की जान सरज़मीने हिंद पर कब्ज करो। मैं हैरान था कि इसकी जान हिन्द में क़ब्ज़ करने को फ़रमाया गया है और यह आपके पास खड़ा है। मैं इसी हैरानी में उसे देख रहा था कि खुद ही उसने हिंद जाने की तमन्ना ज़ाहिर कर दी। चुनांचे उधर आपने हवा को हुक्म दिया और वह उसे उड़ाकर हिंद ले आई और इधर में उसके पीछे गया और जिस वक्त वह सरज़मीने हिंद पर उतरा उसका वक्त आ चुका था। उसी वक़्त मैंने वहां उसकी जान कब्ज़ कर ली। (मसनवी शरीफ)
सबक़ : मौत से भागना मुश्किल है। जहां पहुंचो यह आ जायेगी।
