Merits of Imam Ali inb Abi Talib (as)


Hadith Al-Tashbih

The Holy Prophet said:

"Whoever wishes to see Adam in his knowledge, Noah in his piety, Abraham in his forbearance, Moses in his strength, and Jesus in his worship and devotion should look at Ali ibn Abi Talib."

Hadith Al-Noor

The Holy Prophet said:

"Fourteen thousand years before Adam, upon whom be peace, was created, I and Ali were a light in the presence of God. When God created Adam, upon whom be peace, He divided it into two parts. I am one of the parts and Ali is the other part."

Hadith Al-Rayah

Al Bukhari mentions this tradition in his Sahih, "Kitab al Jihad wa al Siyar":
Sahl ibn Sad said: "The Prophet (pbuh& hp) said on the day of (the victory of) Khaybar:

"Tomorrow I will give the standard to a man, by whose hand God shall conquer (Khaybar). He loves God and His Messenger, and God and His Messenger love him."

The people passed the night wondering as to who will receive it and everyone was hopeful of getting it. (The next day) the Prophet (pbuh& hp) declared: "Where is Ali?" He was told: 'He is suffering with an eye pain.' (When Ali came) the Prophet applied his saliva to his eyes and prayed for him. Ali recovered as if he had no pain before. Then the Prophet (pbuh& hp) gave it (the standard) to him..

Hadith Madinat al-Ilm

The Holy Prophet said:

"I am the city of knowledge and Ali is its gate; whoever intends to enter the city should come to its gate."

Hadith Al-Tayr

Al Tirmidhi in his Sahih reports that once when the Prophet (S) sat down to eat a fowl that had been prepared for his dinner, he prayed to God:

"My God, bring the most beloved of Your creatures, that he may eat this fowl with me." Then Ali (AS) came and the Prophet ate with him.

Hadith Al-Wilayah

The Holy Prophet said:

"Verily, Ali and I are inseparable, and he is the master (wali) of every believer after me."


Hadith Al-Manzilah

The Holy Prophet (pbuh) is reported to have said to Imam Ali (AS):

"Are you not pleased to have the position (manzilah) in relation to me as that Aaron had in relation to Moses?"

Hadith Al-Munasabah

The Holy Prophet said:

"Whoever contests Ali in regard to the khilafah is an unbeliever."

Hadith Al-Muqatalah

Al Nasa'i in Khasa'is, 40, reports this tradition on the authority of Abu Said al Khudri:

Abu Said al Khudri reports: "We sat waiting for the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) when he came out to meet us. The strap of his sandal was broken and he tossed it to Ali. Then he (pbuh) said: "A man amongst you will fight the people over the tawil (interpretation) of the Quran in the same way as I have fought over its tanzil (revelation)." Thereupon Abu Bakr said, 'Is that I?' The Prophet (pbuh& hp) said: "No." Then Umar asked him, 'Is that I?' "No." said the Prophet (pbuh& hp). "It is the mender of the sandal (i.e. Ali)."

The Holy Prophet said:

"May God's mercy be upon Ali. My God, keep the Haqq (truth, righteousness, justice) always with Ali."

Hadith Al-Safinah

The Holy Prophet said:

"The parable of my Ahle Bayt?bayt is that of the boat of Noah, whoever gets aboard it is saved and whoever stays away from it is drowned."
