Hadith 94

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim – Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Al Zanjany transmitting from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said, ‘I sighted a man performing Tawaaf around the Kabah and he was saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I disavow to You-azwj from Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws! ’ Ibn Abbas said to him, ‘May your mother be bereft of you and your total rejection! Why did you do that? By Allah-azwj! Precedents have preceded for Ali-asws, even if one of these were to be divided upon inhabitants of the earth, it would be capacious for them’. He said, ‘Inform me with one of these’. He said, ‘As for the first of these, he prayed with the Prophet-saww to two Qiblah and emigrated with him-saww two emigrations. And the second, he-asws did not worship an idol at all, nor any image at all. He said, ‘O Ibn Abbas! Increase for me, for I am repenting’. He said, ‘When the Prophet-saww conquered Makkah, he-saww entered it, and there he-saww was with an idol being on top of the Kabah being worshipped besides Allah-azwj. Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said to the Prophet-saww: ‘I-asws shall be a reliance for you-saww. You-saww climb upon me-asws’. The Prophet-saww said: ‘Even if my-saww (entire) community were to be reliance for me-saww, they would not be able to lift me-saww high due to my-saww being place of the Revelation, but I-saww shall be the reliance for you-asws’. Ali-asws climbed and he-saww was the reliance for him-asws. He-asws arose and grabbed the idol and struck Al-Safa with it, and it became pieces and pieces. Then he-asws leapt to the ground and he-asws was laughing. The Prophet-saww said to him-asws: ‘What makes you-asws laugh? ’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws wondered at my-asws falling and I-asws did not find any pain for it’. He-saww said: ‘And how could you-asws have been pained from it, and rather Muhammad-saww had carried you-asws up and Jibraeel-as descended you-asws’. Ibn Harb said, ‘And Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Tameemi increased for me in it, from Abdullah Bin Dawood who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww had raised me-asws on that day if I-asws had so desired to grab the sky, I-asws could have grabbed it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The man said, ‘O Ibn Abbas! Increase for me, for I am repentant’. He said, ‘The Prophet-saww held my hand and a hand of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and ended up to the top of the mountain. The Prophet-saww raised his-saww hand and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Make Ali-asws to be a Vizier or me-saww from my-saww family, for my-saww back to be strengthened by him-asws’. Ibn Abbas said, ‘I had heard a caller calling out from the sky: “You-saww have been Given your-saww request, O Muhammad-saww! ” The Prophet-saww said to Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws: ‘Supplicate! ’ Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Make a Pact to be for me-asws with You-azwj and Make cordiality to be for me-asws with You-azwj! ’ Surely, those who are believing and are doing righteous deeds, the Beneficent would Make cordiality to be for them [19: 96]’’.
