When the Prophet of Islam (s.a.) started open propagation of the Faith, the Qureish, because of their respect and consideration for Hazrat Abu Talib, did not directly attack the Prophet (s.a.) but they set urchins to trouble him and throw stones and brickbats on him. They thought that this way they could force the Prophet (s.a.) to abruptly discontinue his mission. Therefore, whenever he came out of his house, the youths of the Qureish used to follow him, shouting invectives and throwing stones and garbage at him. The Prophet (s.a.) was much disturbed and saddened with this treatment, but he never uttered a word against the culprits. He knew that arguing with the children and youth was not of any use. Once Ali (a.s.) saw the marks of injury on the Prophet (s.a.)’s body and asked him about the cause of the injuries. The Prophet (s.a.) explained to him that the Qureish themselves don’t come out openly against him but send out their children to cause him harm. Whenever he came out, they came together, followed him and threw stones and pebbles on him.Ali (a.s.) was very disturbed to hear this and said, “O Prophet of Allah (s.a.)! In the future you should not go out alone. I shall be with you. If they throw brickbats on you, I will hurl stones at them. Then they will not have courage to do such nasty things again!” The next day Ali (a.s.) was with the Prophet (s.a.) when he stirred out of their home. The Qureish youths, as usual tried to crowd the Prophet (s.a.). They noticed that Ali (a.s.) was standing in front of the Prophet (s.a.). The youths were almost of the same age as Ali (a.s.) but first they hesitated seeing his angry face and then advanced sheepishly. Ali (a.s.) rolled up his sleeves and sprang on them like an angry tiger. He broke the limb of one attacker, struck the head of another and threw another down! The crowd of youth, getting a good beating from a youth of their own age fled defeated! They ran to their elders and complained,” Qazama Ali (a.s.) – Ali (a.s.) has beaten us!” But the elders couldn’t gather any courage to confront Ali (a.s.) because the youths were doing the mischief at their instance only. From that day the youth of Qureish stopped misbehaving. Whenever they saw Ali (a.s.) with the Prophet (s.a.), they would try to crouch themselves in some corners to hide from their view! They didn’t dare any time in the future to trouble the Prophet (s.a.).
After this incident, Ali (a.s.) was remembered with the title of Qazeem that means a person who breaks the bones and the ribs! Therefore during the Battle of Ohod when he came out to fight Talha ibne Abi Talha, Talha asked who was coming to fight? He said, “I am Ali Ibne Abi Talib!” When he knew that it was Ali (a.s.) who was against him, he said:
“O Qazeem! I think none other than you can dare to come and fight with me!” Ref: Aiyaan al Shia Talah remembered him with the title they gave him in their youth!

Maqsade lahmak-a-lahmi pa khuli inki zaban, Yeh to ek rah se tujhko bhi bura kahtey hain
There is a tradition: The Holy Prophet said, “Ali is from me, and I am from Ali. His flesh is my flesh, his blood is my blood. One who befriends him befriends me and I too befriend him. One who is his enemy, is my enemy, and I too, am his enemy.” Iqbal knew this tradition. He had also read in books that Hazrat Ali was falsely and meliciously accused of being a party to the murder of Usman. So Iqbal taunts and strongly criticises the so called Muslims who speak ill of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) about whom the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) had said that the enemy of Hazrat Ali is the enemy of the Prophet (s.a.w.). Iqbal is therefore of the view that those who speak ill of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) really speak ill of the Prophet (s.a.w.) and are therefore not Muslims at all.

Addressing himself to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) Allama Iqbal expresses his strong disgust against those who speak ill of Hazrat Ali. He says that when Hazrat Ali (a.s.) who was so much loved and praised by the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.) could not be spared by the so called Muslims how ho (Iqbal), a slave of Hazrat Ali, could be spared by them.

فیض اقبال ہے اسی در کا * بندئہ شاہ «لافتی » ہوں میں Faiz Iqbal hai isi dar Ka, Banda-e-Shah-e-la fata hoon main
Iqbal was regarded to be a great thinker and a great poet. He says he owes all his learning to Hazrat Ali (a.s.). He takes pride in calling himself a slave of Hazrat Ali about whom he knew Gibrael shouting “There is no brave man except Ali and there is no sword except Zulfiqar” in the battle of ‘Ohad’.

سینہ پاک علی جن کا امانت دار تھا * اے شہ ذی جاہ ! تو واقف ہے ان اسرار سے Sina-e-Pak-e-Ali jinka amanat dar tha, Ai shahe zijah! too waqif hai un asrar sey
Dr. Iqbal had great faith in some of the saints and Soofis about whom he was of the view that they had also acquired their spiritual ascendency from Hazrat Ali (a.s.). In these lines he addresses himself to Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia a great saint buried in Delhi these words, “O, King of great rank! I know, you are aware of the secrets and mysteries which were hidden in the pure bosom of Hazrat Ali (a.s.)”. Iqbal believes that the soofis and saints owe all their merits to Hazrat Ali (a.s.) who was the greatest of all saints.

یہ ہے اقبال فیض یاد نام مرتضی جس سے “ نگاہ فکر میں خلوت سرائے لامکاں تک ہے
Yeh hai Iqbal Faize yad-e-name Murtaza jis sey, Nigah-e-fikr men Khilwat sara-e-la makan tak hai
One would say that in his inteme love for Hazrat Ali (a.s.) Iqbal has almost become a fanatic. Dr. Iqbal says that his search for Truth has reached the highest place. He has reached the stage of cognition of God Almighty and all this is due to the pious name of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) who is the source of knowledge.

کرم کرم کہ غریب الدیار ہے اقبال * مرید پیر نجف ہے غلام ہے تیرا 米
Karam Karam ke gharibud dayar hai Iqbal, Murid-e- Pir najaf hai ghulam hai tera
Allama Iqbal had great faith in Mahboobe Ilahi Khawaja Nizamuddin Aulia. Before he left for England for higher studies he visited the mausoleum of of Khawaja Sahib at Delhi and prayed for his blessings. Here he invokes him saying “I am your slave indeed but I am a disciple of Hazrat Ali (a.s.)” Who is the fountain head of all saint-hood. COUPLET 7
دل میں ہے مجھ بے عمل کے داغ عشق اہل بیت * ڈھونڈتا پھرتا ہے ظل دامن حیدر مجھے Dil men hai mujh be amal ke daghe Ishqe Ahle bait, Dhoodhta phirta hai zille damane Haider mujhe
Dr. Iqbal like all high thinking and devoted disciples acknowledges that he is a sinful person but he takes pride in the fact that his heart is full of love for Ahle Bait (a.s.). So much so that Hazrat Ali (a.s.) who knows how much I love him, is searching me to take him (Iqbal) under his kind refuge. Allama Iqbal believes that even a sinful person would attain salvation because of his true love for Hazrat Ali (a.s.).
