He transmitted that “The origin of mankind is Adam and the body of Adam was made up of soil.” In the same speech, he said that women had rights over men, as they were also human beings and continued saying that people should respect women and the right of women and they should be well treated.” 9- "Do your job yourself!" 10-"La ruhbaniyete fiddin - There is no monastic life in Islam." 11-“Ulemai ummetike Enbiyai beni İsrail -The scholars of my nation are like the Prophets of the Children of Israel." 12-“La feta illa Ali, la seyfe illa Zülfiqar- There is no brave man like Ali, no sword like Zulfiqar!” 13-"Ene medinetül ilmi ve Aliyyün bâbuha - I am the city of knowledge and Ali is the gate to the city." 14-“Take down the knowledge in writing!” 15-“Men arafe nefsehu, kad arefe Rabbehu- He who knows himself knows his Lord”. 16-“I am leaving you two things, if you hold fast them, you will never lose your way after me.

Join the right path that Ammar follows.” 18-“The Holy Imams are from Quraysh”. 19-“İnne Ammaren taktüluhu fieti'l bağiye - Ammar will certainly be murdered by the rebels.” 20-“There are 12 Imams for this community after me”. 21--“If Ali had not been born, Fatima would not have married.” 22-“Küntü men mevlahu fealiyyen mevlah - Of whom I am the Master, Ali is also his Master.” 23- “Whoever loves Ahl al Bayt loves the Prophet, whoever hates the Ahl al Bayt hates the Prophet (A.S.).” 24- “Ali does not separate from the Truth and the Truth does not separate from Hz. Ali.” 25-“I bear the Sanctity (Sainthood) of Allah and Ali bears my Sanctity.” The complete hadith is as follows: “I advise those who have faith in me and confirm me Abu Talib’s son Ali’s guardianship. He who accepts him as his guardian has certainly accepted me as his guardian. He who accepts me as his guardian has certainly accepted Allah as his guardian. 26-“Ali is the Friend (Saint) of Believers, the Sayyid (Master) of the Muslims and the Imam of the pious.” 27-“ A servant is deserved my friendship only through loving Ali.” 28- "I have been sent to complete the moral beauties." 29-“By the help of the intercession of some people in my community, more people than in Beni Temim Tribe will enter Paradise.” When the Companions heard this saying of the Prophet, they asked: “Are the upholders of this intercession apart from you? O! the Prophet of Allah!” Our Prophet answered that they were apart from him. Abu Ubeyde b. Cerrah asked: “O the Prophet of Allah! We have become Muslims during your time and struggled for Islam together with you, can anybody that comes afterwards become more auspicious than us? His answer was: “Yes there can be. There will be a community that will come after you and will believe in me, though they had not seen me. They are more auspicious than you.” 30- “When Chapter Yunus, verses 62-64 (Allah has some Friends of God….) were revealed, they again asked the Prophet: “Who are these Friends of God mentioned here, O! The Prophet of Allah?” He said that when they are seen Allah is remembered, the people who see them remember Allah”. 31-“Fatima, will you not be pleased that Allah the Most High looked at the people on the earth and He chose two men and He made one of them your father and the other your husband?” 32-“Ali! My Lord commanded me to instruct you well in the subtleties of religion so that you will comprehend and gain a power that will fill your heart. It was for this that the verse of the Koran “For heeding ears comprehend and protect” (Haqqa, 12) was revealed. And so, it is that you have become the power to heed and comprehend as mentioned in the verse.” 33-“Aliyyen minni ve ene minhü- Ali (k.v.) is from me and I am from him.” 34-“Ali is with the Koran, the Koran is also with Ali. They cannot be separated from each other until they come to me at the pond in paradise.” 35-“While Hz. Prophet (A.S.) was going to Tabuk Battle, he left Ali in Madina in place of him. Hz. Prophet (A.S.V.) told Ali who was sorry that he would not join the battle and told his sorrow to Hz. Prophet (A.S.V.): “Ali, will you not be consented that at my sight, you have the rank of Aaron at the sight of Moses? However, there will not be any Prophets after me. “Ali said that he agreed with him and the title “Murtaza”, which means with whom one is pleased, chosen, agreeable, content, was given to him due to this occasion.” 36- “While our dear Prophet (a.s.v) was returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage, he ascended a pulpit in a place named “Gadir-i Hum” in Cuhfe Valley between Mecca and Madina, and asked: O the Muslims! Am I not better than their souls of all Believers? Everybody answered: “Yes”. He held the hand of Hz. Ali (k.v.) and said: “Küntü men mevlahu fealiyyen mevlah - Of whom I am the Master, Ali is also his Master.” 37-“Selman is from us, in other words, he is from Ahl al Bayt.” 38- Hz. Ali (K.V.), who is the gate of Knowledge, was sitting with the companions in the presence of the Most High Prophet: He requested saying: “O the Prophet of Allah, let my parents be sacrificed to you, please tell us the easiest, the nearest and the virtuous way for the slaves to reach Hz. Allah!” Hz. Prophet (S.A.V.): “Ali, come closer! Place your knees near my knees, close your eyes, imagine my face and repeat what I say to you: “Fa’lem ennehu Lâ ilahe illallah”. They repeated three times. He told Ali to continue this Ziqr. Hz. Prophet (S.A.V.) whispered the formula of unity “Lâ ilâhe illallah” into the ear of Hz. Abubaqr in the cave kneeled down while they were hiding during the Emigration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina. Hz. Abu Baqr had witnessed and been inspired by some revelations with the secret told in the hadith as: “the eyes have not seen, the ears have not heard it yet”. Hz. Prophet Muhammad told Hz. Omar to pronounce “Lâ” first and then “ilâhe” separately and “illallah” together three times while he was telling them to continue this Ziqr. Once, Hz. Prophet visited Hz. Osman to offer consolation for the loss (death) of the wife of Hz. Osman. He told him not to think about the worldly affairs and inspired “Lâ ilâhe illallah”. 39-“Hz. Omar: “O the Prophet of Allah’ I love You more than myself, my children, my parents and than all the people. The great Prophet said: Now that you have true faith and submit truly. You reached the real faith now.” 40-“I seek refuge in Allah from such a heart that does not feel and from the self that is not satisfied.” 41-“We were at the presence of the Prophet of Allah. He said: ‘Is there anybody from the Book among you?’ We answered that there were not anybody. He ordered us to close the door and to raise our hands and pronounce ‘La ilahe illallah’. We raised our hands for about an hour and said “the formula of Unity”. He said: ‘Elhamdülillah-Glory be to Allah! O Lord! You resurrected me with this word and You commanded it and You promised the Paradise with it. You always keep Your promise…’ Then he turned to us and said: “Be happy! Hz. Allah has forgiven you!” 42-“My people are like raining. Whether the earlier ones or those who came afterwards are more beneficial cannot be known.” 43-“İli’l İslamü hüsnü’l hulk- Islam (accepting the truth) is good moral”. 44-“Essabrü minerrahman- Patience is from the Merciful.” 45-“Men sabere zafere- A person who is patient and who endures difficulties is successful and he always wins.” 46-“He who sleeps with a full stomach while his neighbor is hungry is not a Muslim.” 47-“Pay the wages of the workers while they are working.” 48-“A person who lives his two days in the same way is in corruption.” 59-“If a person stores some food for 40 days and then give it as a charity, it will not be the expiation for his sin of black - marketing.” 50-“The real fighter is the one who fights against his carnal desires”. 51- “A hypocrite has three distinguishing signs: First, when he talks, he talks a lie; second, when he makes a promise, he breaks it, and third when something is entrusted to him he misappropriates it.” 52-“A believer is not stung twice the same hole.” 53-“Beware of the malediction of the oppressed because his pray reaches Heaven like a spark.” 54- “Paradise is under the feet of mothers.” 55- “The Great Prophet answered the man who asked him which to serve more; father or mother: “To your mother, your mother, your mother, then to your father.” 56-“A person follows the religion and the manners of his friend, so when you make friends, let him be careful who he is going to be a friend with.” 57-“A saint of God asked: “O Lord! Show me a servant of You who is destined for Heaven and another who is destined for Hell! God said that such and such woman was destined for Hell and that saint went to see her. He was very astonished when he saw that the woman God mentioned was a chaste housewife, who obeyed all the requirements of religion, and he asked the reason of it: “O Lord! Why is this chaste woman who performs her ritual prayer is destined for Hell?” God said: “What you say is true, but one day, that woman was cutting meat into pieces and a cat was trying to take it away. She was getting angry as the cat was walking around. She tied the cat around a post and did not give it any meat. She cooked the meat after she cut it into pieces and ate it in front of the cat. The poor animal died from hunger and this made Me very sorry. I made that woman deserve to Hell. The Saint of God asked Him which servant was destined for the Paradise (Heaven) and God told him who she was, so he went to the place where she lived but he was very surprised when he saw her that she was a prostitute and asked God the reason of it. God said to him: “This servant of mine really obeyed her womanly self and became a prostitute for several reasons, but; on a hot summer day, she saw a very thirsty dog passing by her house staggering as its tongue was out of its mouth. She had pity on this thirsty animal, brought a bucket of water, and had it drunk and revealed its thirstiness. This made Me pleased as a God and I made this servant of Mine deserve for Heaven.” 58-“Whoever plants a tree, then whatever is eaten from it by a living being among the creatures of God is written as a charity on his behalf.” 59-“What God says as alms is what you spare from the property after you need compulsorily.” 60-“Eddünya cifetün vetalibuha külabün- The world is carcass and those who want it are the dogs.” 61-“Allah wiped out all practices of the days of ignorance, those bad habits and the boasting with his ancestors and parents. All mankind is the progeny of Adam and Adam was fashioned out of clay. There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab and for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for the white over the black nor for the black over the white except in piety. The superiority belongs to the one who is the most God-fearing.” (From the Farewell Khutba) 62-"Ene minallahi ve'l Mü'minune minni - I am (My Spirit) from Allah, the believers (their spirits) are from Me." 63-“A believer gets angry quickly and reconciles quickly.” 64-“Angel Gabriel kept exhorting me about obligations towards neighbor so much so that I imagined that they might be included as one of the heirs.” 65-“God the Most High protects His believer servant from the worldly things same as one of you protects his patient from illness.” 66-“The food of two persons suffices for three and the food of three is enough to feed four persons.” 67-“El veledü sırrı ebihi - The son is from the mystery of father.” 68-“Mutu kable ente mutu-Die before you die!” 69-“There is no comfort in the world.” 70-“The world is the prison of the believer and the paradise of the unbeliever/infidel.” 71- “The biggest jihad (holy war) is the jihad which you make against your self.” 72-“The red rose is from my sweat.” 73-“A person dies in the religion of his friend.” 74-“If you knew what I knew, you would laugh a little and cry much.

A mother is responsible for her house.” 119- A young man came near the Prophet (a.s.v.) and asked: “O the Prophet of Allah! Will you give me permission for adultery?” The people there shouted, “What rudeness is this?” The Prophet (a.s.v.) said: “Let this young man come near me!” so the young person approached the Prophet and the Prophet asked: “Would you like someone to commit adultery with your mother?” The young man: “May my life be sacrificed to you! O the Prophet! I wouldn’t like it.” The Prophet said: “Nobody likes his mother to commit adultery with someone same as you do not like.” He continued: “Would you like your daughter be committed adultery?” He said: “May my life be sacrificed to you!

I am the owner of the Banner of the Praise (Livâu'l Hamd) under which all the Prophets from Adam until Me will gather on the Day of Judgment and I do not boast with it either. I am the one who will ask God's forgiveness and whose intercession will be accepted first. I do no boast with it either. I am the first person to open the Door of the Paradise and I do not boast about it either.

He certainly opens the closed and covered hearts; he brings light to the blind eyes and can make the deaf ears to hear. He corrects the Sunnat (practices and rules) wrongly performed so that it is accepted that "There is no God but Allah.

You will speak in my presence and an answer will be given to you, when I die, my death will also be a mercy and a blessing for you.

The Prophet of Allah (a.s.v.) said: “By Allah Whose hands lies my life, if you continued in the same as you are when with me remembering Allah, the Angels would come down to shake hands with you when you are in your beds and in the streets. But O Hanzala! Such things happen occasionally!” He repeated this sentence thrice”. 246-“Faith has about seventy branches.

When they see them, they surround them.” 260- “The Angels would certainly surround an assembly that gathered together to make the remembrance of Allah and His mercy covers them.

The Islamic edicts appear to me a bit too much, so kindly tell me something (lighter and easier) which I should hold fast!’ The Prophet answered: “Let your tongue remain wet (busy) constantly with the remembrance of Allah!” 266- “It was asked the Prophet (a.s.v.) what the most virtuous worship was at Allah’s sight on the Resurrection Day in respect of ranks and the Prophet answered: ‘Those who make remembrance of Allah most.’ and I said: “O the Prophet of Allah, are they more superior than the one who fights on behalf of Allah (a ghazi)”? The Prophet (a.s.v.) said: “Even if a ghazi fought against disbelievers and polytheists with his sword until his sword was broken and blooded, those who make remembrance of Allah would be more virtuous.” 267- “May I not tell you what is the best of your deeds which is the purest in the estimation of your King, the deeds which are the highest and noblest among your deeds and are better for you than spending gold and silver, and are better for you than that you should encounter your enemies and cut off their necks and they be cutting off yours?” The Companions said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, Do tell us!’ and the Prophet answered: ‘It is the remembrance of Allah, the Most High!’ 268- “The case of a house in which Allah is remembered and of one in which Allah is not remembered is like that of the living and dead.” 269- “Let him who believes me and confirms me accept Ali as his guardian because his sainthood is my sainthood and my sainthood is the sainthood of Allah.” 270-“They swore fealty to the Prophet (a.s.v.) on condition that in poverty and in wealth, in happy and troubled times they will obey him and not argue with the administrators who are in charge and tell the truth wherever they are without hesitating and abstaining from the blames of others.” (It was the allegiance of the 12 Muslims who came from Madina at the first Aqaba) 271-(The Muslims at the second Aqaba): “O the Prophet! We will keep this allegiance in spite of the destruction of our property and the murder of our elders, what shall we get in return of this if we are faithful to this?” He answered: “You will get paradise.” They said: ‘Then, extend your hand to us and we shall swear fealty to you!’ The Prophet (a.s.v.) extended his hand and they swore fealty to him.” 272-“While Muslims were swearing fealty to our Prophet at Rıdvan allegiance, Hz. Omar was supporting them by holding the Prophet’s hand.” 273-“I have sworn fealty the Prophet (a.s.v.) with this hand of mine promising to obey him as much as I can.” 274- “While they were swearing fealty to the Prophet at Hudaybiya, he said: “Osman went to Mecca in charge of some works of Allah and the Prophet and I am also doing allegiance for him.” He held his right hand and shook it with his left hand and said: “This hand is for Osman and this allegiance is for him.” 275-“Our Mother Aysha told: “The Prophet was accepting the allegiance of women on condition that they serve no deity besides Allah, commit neither theft, nor adultery, nor child murder, utter no monstrous falsehoods of their own invention and disobey him in nothing reasonable. (Mumtahinna, 12) The Prophet had not touched any women’s hands except his legal wives.” 276-“ While the Prophet (a.s.v.) was accepting allegiance, he put a piece of cloth on his hand and the women swore fealty to him by putting their hands on it.” 277-“When the Prophet migrated to Madina, some Muslim women came to him and said: “Our men swore fealty to you and we want to swear fealty to you too.” So, the Prophet wanted some water in a cup he put his hands into it and gave it to women. The women also put their hands into it one by one and it was their allegiance…” 278-“ When the Prophet came to Madina, Ansar (Helpers) gathered their women in a house and sent us to Omar b. Hattab as a representative. Hz. Omar greeted us coming to the house where we were in. We also greeted him, then he said: “I am the envoy the Prophet (a.s.v.) sent to you” and we said: “Welcome the envoy of the Prophet!” He said: “Swear allegiance by promising not to attribute any partners to Allah, not to commit theft and adultery!” We answered: “All right, we accept all you say and swear fealty to you!” Then Hz. Omar extended his hand to us from the outside of the door and we extended our hands from the inside of the house. He said: “May Allah be a witness to it!” 279- “While the Prophet (a.s.v.) was accepting the allegiance on the Conquest Day of Mecca, he assigned a woman for women and that woman accepted their allegiance in the name of the Prophet (a.s.v.).” 280-“When Mecca was conquered, the Prophet (a.s.v.) sat on the hill of Safa for allegiance: the Meccans; women-men, young-old came there and swore fealty to him.” 281- “Abdullah b. Abbas, Hz. Hasan, Hz. Husayn and Abdullah b. Zubayr swore fealty to the Prophet (a.s.v.) while they were very small (before they reached the age of puberty). Our Master did not accept any allegiance of other small children.” 282- “When Dimad b. Sa’leme swore fealty to the Prophet (a.s.v.) upon Islam, our Master (a.s.v.) said: “Swear fealty for your people to accept Islam too!” and he said: “I swear fealty for my people too.” 283-“ When the gathering of Sekif came near the Prophet (a.s.v.), there was a leper among them. Our prophet sent him a man and said: “We accepted your allegiance like this so you may go back now!” And he accepted his allegiance without holding his hand.” 284-“ Necashi (He may be the king of Abyssinia) reported his allegiance to the Prophet (a.s.v.) with a letter.” 285- “A person who swears fealty to an Imam extending his hand with his love should obey him as much as he can.” 286- “My Companions are like the stars. You can find the right path by whomever you obey.” 287- “The person who is not faithful to his promise has no religion.” 288- “Our Dear Prophet (a.s.v.) says. “Allah continuously shoots (sprouts) and exists a generation that He uses for His obedience in this religion.” 289-“Seek the goodness near the people whose faces are beautiful.” 290-“Abu Zer (r.a.) tells: “I asked the Prophet: ‘O the Prophet of Allah! What about a person who loves a people but has not yet been admitted to do the same?’ The Prophet said: “O Abu Zer! You are with the people whom you love.” I said: ‘I love Allah and His Apostle.’ The Prophet said: ‘You are surely with those whom you love.’ I repeated it three times and he gave the same answer three times.” 291-“Allah the Most High away sends away calamity from a hundred houses for the sake of a pious Muslim.” 292-“There are such people among the Friends of Allah that they are not Prophets or Martyrs but the Prophets and Martyrs will envy them for the blessings and ranks Allah bestowed upon them. The Companions: “O the Prophet! Will you tell us who they are?” The Prophet (a.s.v.) said: ‘They are the ones who love each other mutually for the sake of Allah although they have no kinship and physical relations between them. Their faces shine like Divine Light and they sit on divine light thrones. They are not afraid when other people are afraid, they are not sad when other people are sad.’ Then he said: “Know that the friends of Allah will have nothing to fear or regret.” (Yunis, 62-63) 293- ‘The most blessed people among the gatherings you will attend are the pious people who remind you Allah, whose speech increases your knowledge, whose behaviors encourage you to work for the next world.’ 294- “Hz. Prophet (a.s.v.) said: “When the Day of Resurrection comes, the family relations, the blood relations are cut off, there is no brotherhood but there is only the brotherhood which is built for the sake of Allah.” 295-“By Allah in whose hands my life, a person who does not love me more than his self, his people, his children and all the people is not considered to have faith in me.” 296- “The Prophet (a.s.v.) said: “Spirits are like the armies lined as groups. Those who have met each other there will meet here (in the world) and like each other. Those who do not get along with each other there are also enemies here.” 297- “There are 70.000 dark and divine light veils between Allah and His servant.

Ali with him: “O believers! I am but a human being. The time that the messenger of Allah will come and I will accept him is approaching. I am leaving you two valuable and heavy things. They cannot be separated from each other. As long as you obey them, you will not go astray. First is the Holy Koran, the Book of Allah, this contains instructions and guidance for you and it has Divine light. It is the rope of Allah from the heavens. One who follows it will be rightly guided and he who discards it will go astray. The second thing is the Members of My family (Ahl al Bayt). I warn you about My Ahl al Bayt. I warn you about my Ahl al Bayt. O the Muslims! Am I not better than their souls of all Muslims? Therefore, whoever I am the Master of Ali is also his Master. O Lord! Become the friend of those who love Ali and become the enemy of those who feel enmity towards Ali.” (Over 100 hadith transmitters, commentator on the Koran and historians narrated this hadith by common report.) 306- “I am leaving you two things, if you hold fast them, you will never lose your way after me. One of them is greater than the other one. One of them is the Book of Allah and the other is my Ahl al Bayt. They do not separate from each other. They come to me together at the pond of Kevser. Pay attention, what will you do to these two trusts after me?” 307-“O Ali! You are like the rank of Aaron to Moses to me so that there is no Prophet after me.” (The Leader of Believers Ali (k.v.), the son of Abu Talib, was born in 600 A.D. 23 years before the Emigration, at the Holy Kaaba from Fatimah, the daughter of Hashimi Asad. From Hakim Abu Abdullah, Müstedrek, vol.3,p. 348; Shah Veliyullah Devlevi written in İzzetü’l Hifa that this news was known by public that there was nobody that was born in the Kaaba before and after Hz. Ali).” 308- “When I ascended to Meraj, I saw the following on the Door of Paradise: “La ilahe ilallah Muhammedün Resulullah ve eyyetühü bi Ali-There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Prophet of Allah, I supported and helped Muhammad with Ali.” 309- “On the door of Paradise, two thousand years before the earth and the sky were created, it was written: “La ilahe illallah Muhammedün Resulullah and Ali is the brother of the Prophet of Allah (a.s.v.)” 310-“Ali (k.v.) is my brother both in this world and in the next world.” 311-“I am the house of wisdom and Ali is the door to it.” 312- “Ali! You are my brother both in this world and in the hereafter.” 313- “Hz.Ali (k.v.) says as follows: “I swear by Allah the Almighty who opens the seeds and creates the living beings: My illiterate Prophet (a.s.v.) guaranteed this matter: I will be loved by believers and disliked by hypocrites.” 314- “Ali! The great Allah has forgiven you and your progeny (generation)!” 315-“It was asked Aisha: “Which woman is the dearest to the Prophet (a.s.v.)?” He said: “Fatima”. “Among the men?” He said: Fatima’s husband. For as far as I know Ali would fast and perform the prayer very much.” 316- “Ali! People are from the two genealogy but I and you are from one genealogy.” 317-“ When this verse “O the Family of the Prophet! Allah has willed to purify you by removing your sins” (Ahzab, 33) was descended; for about six months, while the Prophet was going to morning prayer, he called at Fatima’s house and said: “The Family of the Prophet! Wake up for morning prayer, Allah has willed to remove your sins and to purify you!” 318- “The Prophet of Allah left the house in the morning wearing a black, embroidered woolen cloak. Just at that moment, Hasan came and he put him under the mantle. Then, Husayn came and he put him under the mantle as well. Then Fatima came and he spread the mantle over her too, then Ali came and he put Ali under the cloak as well then he said: “O the Household of the Prophet! Allah wants to remove your sins and purify you.” (Ahzab, 33) From Aisha (r.a.)” 319- The Prophet (a.s.v.) said: “Know that I am leaving you two heavy things. One of them is the book of Allah the Most High. It is the rope of Allah (between His Throne and the sky), he who holds it is rightly guided, he who leaves it goes astray. Second thing is my Ahla-l Bayt. Those who were present there asked Zeyd İbnu Erkam: “Are the women included in Ahla-l Bayt?” He said: “No! I swear by Allah that a woman lives with a man for a while, then, her husband divorces her and she turns back to either her father or her people. However, the Family of the Prophet is himself and his companions that have been disallowed to accept alms.” 320- “But after this, I am commanded to close the doors except the gate of Hz. Ali. Your envoy told what he was supposed to tell. I swear by Allah that I did not open or close anything by myself. I only obeyed what I am ordered to do.” 321- “Ali is the most favorable of people. He who suspects him has denied the blessing.” 322- “Ali is the best of human beings. He who turns away from him is considered to have cursed on blessing.” 323- “O Ahl al Bayt! Allah wants to remove your sins and purify you.” (Ahzab, 33) There was the Prophet (a.s.v.), Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husayn. He spread a mantle over them and said: “My God! These are the people of my house. Remove their sins and purify them!” I asked: “O the Prophet of Allah! Am I not of the People of the House?” He said: “You too shall come to a good end as you are the wife of the Prophet.” From our Mother Ummu Salama: 324- “Ali is the leader of the faithful and the murderer of the infidel. He that helps him is helped by Allah. He who injures him cannot get the help of Allah. The help of Allah is cut off from whom that injures him.” 325- “I am the servant of Allah and the brother of Hz. Prophet. I am the greatest faithful. Whoever tells that he is the greatest faithful after me is a liar. I performed my prayer seven years earlier than other human beings.” 326- “Whoever loves Hasan and Husayn has certainly loved me. Whoever hates Hasan and Husayn has surely hated me.” 327-“A group of Companions went to a dinner that the Prophet was invited together with him. They met Husayn on the way and he was playing with children. Ya’la says: “The Prophet (a.s.v.) opened his arms and tied to catch Husayn. Husayn was running. When he caught him, he put one of his hands under his chin, the other on his neck and kissed him. He said: “Husayn is from me and I am from Husayn. Whoever loves Husayn, may Allah love him! Husayn is a grandson of my grandsons.” 328- “The Prophet of Allah (a.s.v.) says:“I and this (Ali k.v.) are proofs (mediator) on my people on the Day of Resurrection.” 329- “The best of my brothers is Hz. Ali and the best of my uncles is Hz. Hamza (r.a.).” 330- “What do you want from Ali? What do you want from Ali? What do you want from Ali? To tell the truth, Ali is from Me and I am from Him. He is the guardian (Saint) of all the believers after me.” 331- “O People! Do not complain about Ali! I swear by Allah, he is very just in the Person of Allah (or he is very stern in the path of Allah).” 332- “Be happy, Ali! Your life and your death are with me!” 333- “Ali (k.v)! A believer does not hate you and a hypocrite does not like you!” 334- “Shall I tell you the most rebellious of all men? The first is Uhaymir (red faced man) that killed the camel from Samud Tribe. The other is the one who will hit you (your head) Ali! This place of yours will be wet from the blood that you will shed.” 335- “The Prophet (a.s.v.) was sitting among the Companions at the mosque. Meanwhile Ali entered. He looked for a seat but he could not find. The Prophet was looking at the faces of the Companions to see who will give him a place to sit. Hz. Abu Baqir who was sitting on the right side of the Prophet called: “Abu Hasan! Come and sit here!” Ali sat between Abu Baqir (r.a.) and Hz. Prophet (a.s.v.). Suddenly the face of our Prophet shone and he said turning to Abu Baqir: “O Abu Baqir! The great knows the value of the great.” 336- “Amir b. Sa’d Ebi Vakkas is transmitting from his father: Muaviyah b. Ebi Sufyan ordered Sa’d to curse Hz. Ali (k.v.). When he did not curse on him, he asked: “What made you not to curse Ali?” Sa’d answered: “The Prophet of Allah said three things about Ali that if I have even one of these qualities, it is better than owning a flock of red-haired camels. As long as I remember them, I cannot curse him. They are: 1. When the Koran was revealed, the Prophet called Ali, his two sons and Fatima and he spread a cloak over them and said: “O Lord! They are my family, the members of my house (Ahla-l Bayt). 2. When he went on a war, Ali said to him: “You left me with children and women!” Thereupon, he said: “Will you not like at my sight the rank of what Aaron obtains the rank at Moses’s sight? However, there will be no Prophet after me.” Therefore, when I remember this I never curse on him. 3. On the eve of the Battle of Khaibar, the Prophet of Allah (a.s.v.) said: I shall offer this standard to a person who loves Allah and His Messenger and by whose hand Allah will grant victory upon us.” All of us waited excitingly. Then he enquired about Ali. He was told that he had sore eyes. Hz. Prophet (a.s.v.) asked people to send for him. When he came, the Prophet (a.s.v.) put his holy saliva in his eyes and prayed for him. He was cured of his eyesore. He handed over the standard to him and Allah bestowed victory through him.” After this, Muaviyah could not say anything about Hz. Ali (k.v.) until he left Madina.” 337- “One day, the Prophet made us a speech at the place called as “Humma” between Mecca and Madina. He praised Allah. He gave us some advice and said the following after reminding us some certain things: “I am a man like you are. The day that I will embrace My Lord has approached. I am leaving you two things: One of them is the Book of Allah that it has guidance and divine light in it. Protect it and hold it fast.” After encouraging the interest and desire towards the Glorious Koran he said: “The second thing is my Ahl al Bayt and continued repeating twice: “Do not forget that Allah will be your witness about how you treat my Ahl al Bayt! Do not forget that Allah will be your witness about how you treat my Ahla-l Bayt!” Husayn asked: “Zayd, who are the members of the House of the Prophet? Are his wives from Ahl al Bayt as well?” Zayd answered: Yes, women are also from his Ahla-l Bayt but Ahlal Bayt are the persons for whom alms and zakat are forbidden.” Husayn asked: “Who are they?” Zayd: “They are the descendants of Hz. Ali, Abbas, Jafar and Akil.” Husayn asked: “Is alms forbidden for all of them?” Zayd said that it was.” 338- “Sit down, O Abu Turab!” (Abu Turab is the nickname of Hz. Ali (k.v.) given to him by the Prophet (a.s.v.) himself.)” 339- “The Holy Prophet (a.s.v.) says: “Remembering Ali is worship.” 340- “The hypocrite does not like Ali. Believers do not feel enmity towards Ali.” 341- “The first person who performed prayer with the Prophet (a.s.v.) is Ali (k.v.). The first person who accepted Islam is Ali bin Ebi Talib (k.v.). 342- “Tomorrow I will offer this standard to a man by whose hand Allah will grant victory. He loves Allah and His Messenger and Allah and His Messenger loves him.” When it was morning, they went to the Prophet early. They all expected to be given the standard. He enquired: “Where is Ali the son of Abu Talib?” They said that he had sore eyes. He told them to send Ali near him so Ali came. The messenger of Allah put his holy saliva on his eyes and prayed for him. He got better soon and felt well as if he had no pain. He gave him the standard and Ali said: “O the Prophet of Allah! Shall we fight against them until they are like us?” The Prophet said: “Do not hurry! First of all, go to their fields, then invite them to Islam and tell them what they should do by Allah. Surely it is better for you that Allah guides a man through your help than having flocks of red-haired camels.” 343- “Hasan, the son of Ali, wearing a black turban on his head assembled people and said: “You killed a person yesterday that the former had never reached and the latter will never reach his rank and about whom the Prophet said: “Tomorrow I will offer the standard to a man who loves Allah and His Prophet and who is loved by Allah and the Prophet. Gabriel will fight on his right and Michael will fight on his left. The standard will not be taken back from him until Allah will grant the conquest of Khaibar through him.” He conquered Khaibar. He did not have any dinars and dirhems, except 900 dinar, with which he could buy a servant for his family. He spent all his money on the path of Allah.” 344-“O the People of Quraysh! By Allah, He will send a man among you whose heart is tested for faith. He will cut off the necks of some of you.” Omar asked if it was himself and the Prophet said that it was not him but he was the person who was mending his shoes. At that moment, he was having Ali mend his shoes.” 345-“The Prophet of Allah ordered to close all the doors of mosque except the door of Hz. Ali (k.v.).” 346- “A group of envoys from Nejran Christians came near our Prophet (a.s.v.). They claimed that Hz. Jesus was God. Our Prophet (a.s.v.) said to them: “Let us gather our members of family and pray. Let us wish the curse of Allah be upon the liars. Hz. Prophet called Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Husayn (May peace be upon them!). He wanted them to say amen after the pray he will make. He prayed and said: “My God! My Ahla-l Bayt are these.” The people from Nejran were frightened that it would be a bad end for them so they all left. The following verse was descended due to this: “Those that dispute with you concerning Jesus after the knowledge you have received, say: ‘Come let us gather our sons and your sons, our wives and your wives, our people and your people.
