Bisme Ta’ala
Through his authorities, Shaykhul Islam, Abu Ishaq Ibrahim bin Saaduddin bin Hamuyi, in the book of Faraidus Simtain in the first Simt (thread), in chapter fifty-eight, has narrated from the senior companion of companion, Sulaym bin Qays Hilali from Ali (a.s.) that he said in a tradition:
“I adjure you by Allah, do you know for whom was the verse of:
“O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those in authority from among you.” (Nisa 59)
…revealed? and for whom was the verse of:
“Only Allah is your Guardian and His Apostle and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.” (Maidah 55)
…revealed? And for whom was the following verse revealed?
“What! do you think that you will be left alone while Allah has not yet known those of you who have struggled hard and have not taken anyone as an adherent besides Allah and His Apostle and the believers; and Allah is aware of what you do.” (Taubah 16)
And when people asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.): “Is this verse for some particular believers or for all believers generally?”
The Almighty Allah ordered His Prophet to announce the guardians for them. Just as he explained the rituals of prayer and Hajj, he also explained Mastership (Wilayat); and this important issue was decided by my appointment in Ghadeer Khum.”
Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) said in his sermon: “O people, the Almighty Allah placed a message on my shoulders, due to which I was extremely worried and I thought that people would falsify me. So Almighty Allah warned me that if I did not announce it, I would be liable.”
Then as per the command of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) people were summoned for congregation prayers; after the prayers, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said in a sermon: “O people, do you know that Allah, the Mighty and Sublime is my master and I am the master of believers; and I have more authority on them than they have on themselves?”
They replied: “Yes, O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.).”
Then he asked: “O Ali, stand up.”
When I stood up, he said: “Of whomsoever I am the master, this Ali is his master. O Allah, love those, who love him and be inimical to those, who are inimical to him.”
At that time, Salman arose and asked: “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), what kind of mastership does Ali have on the believers?”
He replied: “A Mastership (Wilayat) like my Mastership. One, to whom I am more deserving than his own self, then Ali also is more deserving than his own self.”
At that time, the Almighty Allah revealed the verse:
“This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion.” (Maidah 3)
Then the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) recited the Takbeer and said: “Allah is the greatest! Mastership (Wilayat) of Ali after me is what completes my prophethood and my religion.”
After that Abu Bakr and Umar arose and asked: “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), are these verses restricted for Ali?”
“Yes,” he replied: “They are restricted for him and my successors till Judgment Day.”
They asked: “O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), mention your successors for us.”
He replied: “Ali is my brother, my Vizier, my successor and legatee and my representative in my Ummah and the guardian of every believer after me. And after him, his two sons. They will not separate from Quran and Quran will not separate from them till they meet me at Hauze Kauthar.”
At the end of this statement, everyone said to Ameerul Momineen (a.s.): “By Allah, yes, we confess having heard this and we testify to what you said.”
Some also said: “We remember most of what you said and some of it we have forgotten.”
