Hadith 18

(The book) ‘Al Taraaif’ – It is reported by Ahamad Bin Hanbal, from Abdullah Bin Umar, from the Prophet-saww; and it is reported by Abu Zakariya Bin Mandah Al Asfahany Al Hafiz in attributions of Al Mamoun, from Ibrahim Bin Saeed Al Jowhary who said, ‘Al Mamoun narrated to me, he said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al Rasheed who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al Mahdy who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al Mansour who said, ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said, ‘The Prophet-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘You-asws are my-saww inheritor’. And he-saww said: ‘Musa-as asked Allah-azwj the Exalted to Clean a Masjid for him-as, no one to settle in it except Musa-as and Haroun-as, and two sons-as of Haroun-as; and I-saww asked Allah-azwj the Exalted to Clean a Masjid. (He-azwj Said): “For you-saww and for your-saww offspring from after you-saww! ”
Then he-saww sent (a message) to Abu Bakr: ‘Close your door! ’ He said, ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj’, and said: ‘Has this been done with other than me? ’ It was said, ‘No’. He said, ‘Listening and obeying’, and he closed his door. Then he-saww sent a message to Umar. He-saww said: ‘Close your door! ’ He said, ‘We are for Allah-azwj and are returning to Him-azwj’, and said, ‘Has this been done with other than me? ’ It was said, ‘With Abu Bakr’. He said, ‘In Abu Bakr there is the best example’, so he closed his door. Then he (the narrator) mentioned another man, ‘The Prophet-saww closed his door’, and he mentioned a speech of his-saww, then said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww ascended the pulpit. He-saww said: ‘It was not I-saww who closed your doors, nor did I-saww keep the door of Ali-asws open, but Allah-azwj Closed your doors and Kept open the door of Ali-asws! ’’[79]
And it is reported by the Shafie Ibn Al Maghazily, from eighty ways. From these is from Huzeyfa Bin Aseyd Al Ghifari who said, ‘When the companions of the Prophet-saww arrived at Al-Medina, there did not happen to be any houses for them they could settle in, and they used to spend the night in the Masjid’ – and he continued the Hadeeth up to what has passed (above)’’.
