The Messenger of Allah has been reported by Abi-Layla as saying: Soon after my passing away, mischief and sedition will occur among you people from every direction! At that time, do not leave `Ali alone if you look for salvation, for he will distinguish between what is just and what is unjust. He will remove the dust of injustice from justice.[321]
The Holy Prophet (s.a) has been quoted by Ibn `Umar as saying: One who is deviated from the path of `Ali, is deviated from my path. Such a person is deprived of guidance and the leadership of God Almighty.[322]
Abu-Ayyub Ansari reports: I heard the Messenger of Allah saying to `Ammar ibn Yasir: The rebellious group will kill you while you are with the truth and truth is with you! O `Ammar! Should you see `Ali has chosen a path but all people have chosen another path, leave the people to themselves and opt for the path of `Ali, for `Ali’s path is not worrisome. He will not mislead you nor will he obstruct the path of truth to you.
O `Ammar! If a person carries a sword on his shoulder to help `Ali and strikes it on the head of enemy, God Almighty will honor him with a sword of pearl as a sign of pleasure and if a person carries a sword on his shoulder to help `Ali’s enemies or fights him, God Almighty will hang a sword of fire on his shoulders as a sign of wrath.[323]
The Messenger of Allah has been quoted by `A’ishah as saying: Truth always accompanies `Ali and keeps pace with `Ali whatever path he walks on.[324]
Ummu-Salamah reports: I heard from the Messenger of Allah saying: Truth is with `Ali and `Ali is with truth. These two are not separable till the Day of Judgment when they come to me at the Pond.[325]
مَنْ هَذَا الْمَلَكُ؟ قَالَ: أُدْنُ مِنْهُ وَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ. فَدَنَوْتُ وَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذا أنَا بِأَخِي وَابْنِ عَمِّي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ. فَقُلْتُ: يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ، سَبَقَنِي عَلِيٌّ إلَى السَّمَاءِ الرَّابِعَةِ؟ فَقالَ لِي: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، لاَ وَلَكِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ شَكَتْ حُبَّهَا لِعَلِيٍّ فَخَلَقَ اللهُ هَذَا الْمَلَكَ مِنْ نُورٍ عَلَى صُورَةِ عَلِيٍّ. فَالْمَلاَئِكَةُ تَزُورُهُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ وَيَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ سَبْعينَ ألْفَ مَرَّةً يُسَبِّحُونَ اللهَ وَيُقَدِّسُونَهُ وَيُهْدُونَ ثَوابَهُ لِمُحِبِّ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ.
فِي أَنَّ الحَقَّ وَالْقُرْآنَ مُلازِمانِ لَهُ:
مِنْ كِتابِ المَناقِبِ: عَنْ أَبِي لَيْلَى قَالَ: قَالَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: سَتَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةٌ، فَإذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَالْتَزِمُوا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ؛ فَإنَّهُ الفَارُوقُ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْبَاطِلِ.
وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ: مَنْ فَارَقَ عَلِيَّاً فَارَقَنِي، وَمَنْ فَارَقَنِي فَارَقَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
وَعَنْ أَبِي أيُّوبٍ الأَنْصارِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ يَقُولُ لِعَمَّارِ بْنِ ياسِرٍ: تَقْتُلُكَ الفِئَةُ البَاغِيَةُ، وَأَنْتَ مَعَ الْحَقِّ وَالْحَقُّ مَعَكَ. يَا عَمَّارُ إذَا رَأَيْتَ عَلِيَّاً سَلَكَ وَادِياً وَسَلَكَ النَّاسُ وَادِياً غَيْرَهُ فَاسْلُكْ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ وَدَعِ النَّاسَ، فَإنَّهُ لَنْ يَدُلَّكَ عَلَى رَدىً وَلَنْ يُخْرِجَكَ مِنْ هُدىً. يَا عَمَّارُ، إنَّهُ مَنْ تَقَلَّدَ سَيْفاً أَعانَ بِهِ عَلِيَّاً عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ قَلَّدَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وِشَاحاً مِنْ دُرٍّ، وَمَنْ تَقَلَّدَ سَيْفاً أَعَانَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ قَلَّدَهُ اللهُ تَعالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وِشَاحاً مِنْ نَارٍ.
The Holy Prophet (s.a) has been reported by `A’ishah as saying: Truth is with `Ali and `Ali is with truth. These two are inseparable. There is no separation between them till they come to me at the Pond.[326]
Ummah Salamah reports: I heard from the Messenger of Allah saying: `Ali and his followers will come to me at the Pond while truth is with them and they are inseparable.[327]
Abi- Rafi` reports: the Messenger of Allah said to me: O Abu-Rafi`! What will be your position if you see a group of injustice are fighting `Ali given that he is right and they are not right? Should a person desire God’s pleasure, he must fight the enemies of `Ali, for fighting `Ali’s enemies is God’s order and His pleasure. Therefore, whoever is able to fight must do so and attend the battlefield immediately. If he is not physically able to do so, he must rise up against `Ali’s enemies verbally to undermine their success and to disgrace them. Even if he is not able to do so, he must fight them with his heart. This is the last stage of Jihad in the path of truth against his enemies.
Abu-Rafi` reports: After hearing this advice, I said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray to God for me that if I live till then, I will have the honor of fighting them. Eventually when people pledged their allegiance with Imam `Ali, Mu`awiyah challenged him, and Talhah and Zubayr went to Basrah, I said to myself: They are the same people about whom the Holy Prophet spoke.
Abu-Rafi` decided to fight them. Hence, he sold the land he had in Khaybar and his house in Medina to spend on fighting the enemies of `Ali. When `Ali left Medina for Basrah to put an end to the battle of Jamal (camel), Abu-Rafi` and his family accompanied `Ali to Basrah. He was in Kufah until the martyrdom of Amir al-Mu’minin. Thereafter, he returned to Medina with Imam Hasan and since he had neither land nor house in that city, Imam Hasan gave him a piece of land in Yanba from `Ali’s endowment for farming as well as a house.[328]
In the battle of Jamal when Zayd ibn Sawhan was wounded, `Ali went to see him in the last moments of his life, saying: O Zayd! May God bless you. By God, as far as I know you, you are an altruist, that is,
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ أنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ قَالَ: الْحَقُّ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ وَعَلِيٌّ مَعَ الْحَقِّ يَزُولُ مَعَهُ حَيْثُ زَالَ.
وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ يَقُولُ: إنَّ الْحَقَّ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ وَعَلِيَّاً مَعَ الْحَقِّ لَنْ يَزُولاَ حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ.
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ: أنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ قَالَ: الْحَقُّ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ وَعَلِيٌّ مَعَ الْحَقِّ وَلَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ.
وَعَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ يَقُولُ: يَرِدُ عَلِيٌّ الْحَوْضَ وَأَشْيَاعُهُ وَالْحَقُّ مَعَهُمْ لاَ يُفَارِقُونَهُ.
وَعَنْ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ قَالَ: يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَقَوْمٌ يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلِيَّاً وَهُوَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَهُمْ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ؟ يَكُونُ حَقَّاً فِي اللهِ جِهَادُهُمْ، فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ جِهَادَهُمْ بِيَدِهِ فَيُجَاهِدُهُمْ بِلِسَانِهِ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ بِلِسَانِهِ فَيُجَاهِدُهُمْ بِقَلْبِهِ لَيْسَ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أُدْعُ اللهَ لِي إنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُعِينَنِي وَيُقَوِّيَنِي عَلَى قِتَالِهِمْ. فَلَمَّا بَايَعَ النَّاسُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَخَالَفَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَسَارَ طَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ إلَى الْبَصْرَةِ قُلتُ: هَؤُلاَءِ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ فِيهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ. فَبَاعَ أَرْضَهُ بِخَيْبَرَ وَدَارَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ يَقْوَى بِهَا هُوَ وَوَلَدُهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ بِجَمِيعِ أَهْلِهِ وَوِلْدِهِ فَكَانَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى اسْتُشْهِدَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ. فَرَجِعَ إلَى الْمَدِينَةِ مَعَ الحَسَنِ وَلاَ أَرْضَ لَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَلا دَارَ، فَأَقْطَعَهُ الحَسَنُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَرْضاً بِيَنْبُعَ مِنْ صَدَقَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَأَعْطَاهُ دَاراً.
وَلَمَّا أُصِيبَ زَيْدُ بْنُ صَوْحَانَ يَوْمَ الْجَمَلِ أَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَبِهِ رَمَقٌ، فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ لِمَـا بِهِ فَقـالَ: رَحِمَكَ اللهُ يَـا زَيْدُ، فَوَاللهِ مَا عَرَفْتُكَ إلاَّ خَفِيفَ الْمَؤُنَةِ كَثِيرَ الْمَعُونَةِ.
you ignore yourself but help others. Zayd raised his head, saying: O my master! May God bless you, too. By God, I have a feeling that you know God truthfully and are fully aware of the divine verses and decrees. I swear by God that I did not rise up against your enemies out of ignorance and bewilderment. The reason I am fighting along with you is the words I heard from Hudhayfah ibn Yaman who reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: `Ali is the leader of the benefactors and the killer of wrongdoers. God will help those who help him and abase those who abase him. Beyond doubt, truth is always with `Ali. O you who follow truth! Never leave him alone. Follow him in words and actions.[329]
Ummu-Salamah also reports: I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: `Ali is with the Qur’an and the Qur’an is with `Ali. These two are inseparable till they come to me at the Pond.[330]
