Hadith 197

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Abu Bakr Al Shirazi in (the book) ‘Ma Nazal Min Al Quran Fi Amir Al-Momineen-asws’ – From Muqatil, from Ata’a, ‘Regarding Words of the Exalted: And We had Given Musa the Book, perhaps they would be rightly Guided [23: 49]. It was in the Torah: “O Musa-as! I-azwj have Chosen you-saww and have Chosen a Vizier for you-as. He-as is your-as brother-as, meaning Haroun-as, (brother) to your-as father-as and mother-as, like what I-azwj shall Choose Elia for Muhammad-saww. He-asws is his-saww brother and his-saww Vizier, and his-saww successor-asws, and the caliph from after him-saww. Beatitude is for you-asws both from two brothers-as, and beatitude for them-as both from two brothers-asws. Elia-asws is father of the two chiefs, Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and Mohsin-asws, the third from his-asws sons-asws, like what I-azwj Made for your-as brother Haroun-as, Shabbar and Shabbir, and Mubashar (Mushabbir)’’. [116]
And in (the book) ‘Ma Nazal Min Al Quran Fi Amir Al-Momineen-asws’ – compile by Abu Nueym Al Asfahani, and (the book) ‘Khasaais Al Alawiya’, from Al Natanzy, what is reported by Sho’ba Bin Al Hakam, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘The Prophet-saww held my hand and a hand of Ali-asws, and we were at Makkah, and climbed with us to (mount) Subeyr. Then he-saww prayed four Cycles Salat with us, then raised his-saww head towards the sky. He-saww: ‘O Allah-azwj! Musa-as Bin Imran-as had asked You-azwj and I-saww am Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj Prophet-saww. I-saww am asking You-azwj to Expand my-saww chest for me-saww, and to Ease my-saww affairs, and Loosen the knot from my-saww tongue for them to understand my-saww words, And Make a Vizier to be for me from my family [20: 29], Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws my-saww brother-asws, Strengthen my back by him [20: 31] And associate him in my matter [20: 32]’. Ibn Abbas said, ‘I heard a caller calling out: “O Ahmad-saww! You-saww have been Given what you-saww asked for! ”’[117]
And in a report, ‘And Make a Vizier to be for me-saww from my-saww family, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, my-saww brother-asws, strengthening my-saww back with him-asws’ – the Verse’’. [118]
Tafseer Al Qattan, and Wakie Bin Al Jarrah, and Ata’a Al Khurasani, and Ahmad Bin Al Fazaail, ‘Ibn Abbas said, ‘I heard Asma Bint Umeyr saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I-saww am saying like what Musa Bin Imran-as had said. O Allah-azwj! Make a Vizier to be for me from my family [20: 29], to be an in-law for me-saww and a son-in-law’’. [119]
Al Sam’any in (the book) ‘Fazaail Al Sahaba’, by the chain from Matar, from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘My-saww friend, and my-saww Vizier, and my-saww caliph among my-saww family, and best of the ones I-saww am leaving behind after me-saww, one who will fulfil my-saww promises, and pay off my-saww debts, is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’. [120]
And in (the book) ‘Amaali’ – Abu Al Salt Al Ahwazy, by the chain from Anas (well-known fabricator), ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘My-saww brother-asws, and my-saww Vizier, and my-saww successor-asws, and my-saww caliph among my-saww family, is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’. [121]
And in a Hadeeth: ‘You-asws are the Imam-asws after me-saww, and the Emir (commander), and you-asws are the companion for me-saww, and the Vizier, and there is no match for you-asws in my-saww community’’. [122]
