Hadith 157

(The book) ‘Kashaf Al Yaqeen’, from the book of Abu Ya’la Al Hamdany, from Haydar Bin Muhammad al Husayni, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rasheed Al Asfahany, from Al Hassan Bin Ahmad Al Attar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ismail Al Farsi, from Farouq Al Khttani, from Hajjaj Bin Minhal, from al Hassan Bin Imran, from Shazan Bin Al A’ala, from Abdul Aziz Bin Abdul Samad, from Muslim Bin Khalid Al Makky, from Abu Al Zayd, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari, ‘I asked Rasool-Allah-saww about the birth of Ali-asws. He-saww said: ‘Aah! Aash! You have asked, O Jabir, about the best new-born in his-asws resembling the Messiah-as. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Created Ali-asws as a Noor from my-saww Noor, and Created me-saww as a Noor from His-azwj Noor, and both of us-asws are from one Noor’. Then he-saww explained the beginning of the birth of Ali-asws: ‘And there was a man called Al-Mubram during that time. He had worshipped Allah-azwj for two hundred and seventy years. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Settled the wisdom in his heart and Inspired him with excelled obedience to his Lord-azwj, and he gave glad tidings to Abu Talib-asws with what are these wordings, ‘Receive glad tidings, O you-as, that the most Exalted has Inspired me with an Inspiration Giving you-as glad tidings in it’. Abu Talib-asws said: ‘And what is it? ’ He said, ‘A son-asws would be given to you-as from your-as linage. He-asws is a friend of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and Imam-asws of the pious, and successor-asws of Rasool-saww of Lord-azwj of the worlds. So, if you-as were to come across that child, then convey to him-asws the greetings from me and say to him, ‘Al-Mubram conveys the greetings to you and says to you-asws, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj. By him-saww the Prophet-hood ends and with him-asws the successorship ends’’. [73]
