Ali Ibn Abi Talib - Volume 1 of 2

'Ali ibn Abi Tcilib 341
"Among the virtues of 'Ali (&>) is that he was the closest in lineage
to the Messenger of Allah (g) of the ten whom our Prophet testified
would be in paradise.""8 I have mentioned a great deal about his
virtues above, as appropriate. In order to complete the picture of the
virtues of 'Ali (&), we may add the following:
,.,
4- It was narrated that Zurr (4) said that 'Ali (&>) said: "By
the One Who caused the seed to split and sprout and
created the soul, the unlettered Prophet (g) told me that
no one loves me but a believer, and no one hates me but a
hypocrite."119
* It was narrated from Abn Ishzq: "A man asked al-Bara'
when I was listening: 'Was 'Ali present at Badr?' He said:
'He engaged in a duel and wore two coats of chain
mai,,"'IzO
*:+ It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (&) that the
Messenger of Allah (g) .. was on Mount G d with Ahu
Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthm%n,'Ali, Taah and ai-Zubayr (may
Allah be pleased with them), and the rock moved. The
Messenger of Allah (g) said: "Be still, for there is no one
on you but a Prophet, a Siddeeq and a ma@x"lZ1
+:* Sa'eed ibn Zayd said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (a)
say: 'The Prophet will he in paradise, Abu Balcr will be in
paradise, 'Umar will be in paradise, 'Uthmin will be in
paradise, 'Ali will be in paradise, Taah will be in
paradise, az-Zubayr will be in paradise, 'Abdur-Ramin
ibn 'Awf will be in paradise, Sa'd will be in paradise, and
if you wish I will mention the tenth one.""22
*:* Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "I
heard the Messenger of Allah (g) say: 'Whoever reviles
'Ali has reviled me.""23
