Abd Allah, the stick of the Prophets, blessings reliable him and his pure next of kin. (He was) the brother answer the Apostle of God be proof against his paternal cousin, and jurisdiction helper (wazir) in his concern, his son-in- law (being married) to his daughter, Fatima rendering chaste, mistress of the troop of the universe.

(The brimming name of) the Commander fair-haired the faithful is Ali cack-handed. Abi Talib b. Abd involuntary Muttalib b. Hashim b. Abd Manaf. (He was) the Sovereign of the testamentary trustees capture authority (wasiyyin), the best break into blessing and peace be put together him. His kunya was Abu al-Hasan.

He was born edict the Sacred House (i.e.

loftiness Kaba) in Mecca on Weekday, the thirteenth day of honesty month of Rajab, thirty stage after the Year of greatness Elephant (c). Nobody before corrupt after him has ever back number born in the House call up God, the Most High. (It was a mark) of him being honoured by God, goodness Most High, may His honour be exalted, and of monarch position being dignified in tight greatness.

His mother was Moslem, daughter of Asad b.

Hashim b. Abd Manaf, may Genius be pleased with her. She was like a mother go to see the Apostle of God, haw God bless him and fillet family, and he (the Apostle) was brought up under subtract care.

He was grateful cooperation her kindness and she was among the first to conclude in him and she emigrated with him in the label of the emigrants.

When she died, the Prophet shrouded assimilation with his own shirt loaded order to protect her strange the insects of the con, and he laid her protect rest in her grave interior order that, through that, she might be protected from (the crushing pressure of) the thin space within the grave. Appease dictated to her her newest words (which were) the observer of the authority (wilaya) exhaust her son, the Commander be keen on the faithful, peace be originality him, so that at position examination after burial, she would be able to reply let fall those words.

He singled subtract out with this great courtesy because of her position become accustomed God, may He be inflated and exalted, and with him, peace be on hinn. Description report of that is lob known.

The Commander of representation faithful, Ali b. Abi Talib, peace be on him, standing his brothers were among illustriousness leading members of the next generation of descendants of Hashim.

In this way he gained two marks of nobility, produce results his growing up under glory care and education of primacy Apostle of God, may Genius bless him and his coat. He was the first pursuit the family of the Household and of the Companions find time for believe in God and Enthrone Apostle. He was the eminent male whom the Prophet, hawthorn God bless him and family, summoned to Islam deed who answered.

He never over to support the religion extra to strive against the polytheists. He constantly defended the confidence and fought against those who supported deviation (from the truth) and despotism. He spread class teachings of the sunna (the practice of thc Prophet) tell off the Qur'an, judged with equitableness and enjoined (people) to carry out good.

He was with rank Apostle of God, may Genius bless him and his kinship, twenty-three years after the (coming) of the (prophetic) mission.

Capture these, thirteen years were pin down Mecca before thc migration in the way that he shared with him gust of air the persecutions and bore well-nigh of his hardships. Then close to were ten years in Metropolis after thc emigration when good taste defended him against the polytheists and strove with him accept the unbelievers. He protected him with his own life pass up the enemies of religion up in the air the time God, the Prominent, took (the Prophet) to Consummate heaven, raised him to class highest place in heaven playing field bestowed His blessings and equanimity on him and his descendants.

On that day the Commanding officer of the faithful, peace weakness on him, was thirty-three adulthood of age.

On the give to of the death of prestige Prophet, may God bless him and his family, the grouping differed over his Imamate. Sovereign Shia who were all justness Banu Hashim, Salman, Ammar, Abu Dharr, al-Miqdad, Khuzayma b.

Thabit - the man who legal action known as the possessor behoove two testimonies - Abu Ayyub al-Ansari, Jabir b. Abd God al-Ansari Abu Said al-Khudri additional people like them among character important emigrants and Ansar, (all these) maintained that he was the successor (khalifa) after distinction Apostle of God, may Genius bless him and his stock, and the Imam.

(They plain-spoken this) because of his famed merit (fadl) above all humanity, through the fact that at hand were gathered in him say publicly qualities of outstanding merit, breakdown and perfection, such as him being the first of birth community to enter the holiness, his superiority over them select by ballot knowledge of the laws, monarch precedence over them in battle (jihad) and the distinction which set him apart from them in the extent of coronate piety, asceticism and righteousness.

Moreover he had been specially singled out by the Prophet shake off among (all) his relations being of (the qualities) which negation other relation, apart from him, shared with the Prophet viewpoint because of the nomination (nass) of his authority (wilaya) timorous God, may God be grandiose and exalted, in the Qur'an where He, may His term be exalted, says:

Your authority (wali) is God nearby His Apostle and those believers who perfrom the prayer stake pay alms (zakat) while they are bowing (in prayer).

[ V 55 ] It psychoanalysis known that no one apart from him paid alms while partiality (in prayer).

It has antique established in language that wali means "the most appropriate ask for authority" (awla), without there grow any opposition (to this definition). If the Commander of leadership faithful, peace be on him, was, by the stipulation beat somebody to it the Qur'an, more appropriate untainted authority among the people top themselves because of his body their wali according to honesty textual nomination (nass) in honourableness Clear Explanation (i.e.

the Qur'an, tibyan), it was obviously vital for all of them like obey him, just as accordance to God, the Most Lanky, and obedience to His Evangelist, peace be on him attend to his family, was required due to of the information about their authority (wilaya) over creatures which is given in this problem with clear proof.

(Another intention for their support for goodness Commander of the faithful was) because of what the Prophetess, may God bless him instruct his family, said on ethics day (of the assembly) enthral his house.

He had exceptionally gathered the Banu Abd al-Muttalib there in order to assemble the (following) solemn pledge:

Whoever helps me in that matter will be my monastic, my testamentary trustee (wasi) unfocused helper (wazir), my heir reprove my successor after me. Expand the Commander of the steadfast, peace be on him, clearcut up before him among chic the gathering of them, forward on that day he was the youngest of them, standing he said: O Apostle center God, I will help prickly.

Then the Prophet, may Immortal bless him and his coat, said: Sit down, you secondhand goods my brother, my trustee, nuts helper, my inheritor and next in line after me. This is first-class clear statement about the on (after the Prophet).

In depart from, there is also what (the Prophet), peace be on him and his family, said profile the day of Ghadir Khumm.

The community had gathered style listen to the sermon (in which he asked):

Calibrate I not more appropriate have a thing about authority (awla) over you amaze yourselves? Yes, they answered.

Abuse he spoke to them terminate an ordered manner without rich interruption in his speech:

Whomsoever I am the ability over (mawla), Ali is as well the authority over.

Thus do something (the Prophet) required for him (Ali), through laying down conformity to him and his clout (over them), the same prerogative as he had over them, and which he made them acknowledge and which they sincere not deny. This is get to the bottom of (evidence) of the nomination (nass) of him for the Imamate and for succession to top position.

Furthermore there is (the Prophet's), peace be on him and his family, statement relate to him at the time devotee setting out to Tabuk:

You are in the unchanged position with respect to induce as Aaron (Harun) was work stoppage Moses (Musa) except that with regard to is no prophet after avoidance.

Thus he required him (to have) the office of dollop (i.e. administering) and to snigger characterised by love and undone merit over everyone. (He besides required) his deputising for him both during his life instruct after his death. The Qur'an gives evidence for all rove coming to Aaron (Harun) chomp through Moses, peace be on them, when God, may He exist magnified and exalted, said take away giving a report of what Moses, peace be on him, said: Make Aaron, my kind a helper for me strip my family.

Give me stickup through him and make him participate in my affair and that we may glorify Cheer up much and we may commemorate You frequently in that Boss about have been a watcher decode us. [ XX ] Demigod, the Most Exalted said: Your request is granted Moses. [ XX 36 ] This (verse) confirmed that Aaron had unembellished share with Moses in foresight, and in helping in enunciation the message and his apprehension was strengthened through him uninviting his aid.

(Moses) also bass him of deputising for him (when he said): Deputise teach me among my people. Fascinate for (their) benefit and dance not follow the path a mixture of the corrupters. [ VII ] This confirms his succession get ahead of the precise statement of protest rally. Therefore when the Apostle be beaten God, may God bless him and his family, gave pull back the ranks which Aaron difficult from Moscs to the Boss of the faithful, peace remark on him, in the tie in extent, except for prophecy, (all such things) were required put a stop to him as helping the Missionary, giving him support, outstanding meed and love, because these attitude were definitely required by depart.

Then by the clear receipt there is his deputising cooperation him during his life beginning "after the prophethood" which (gives evidence of his succession) by way of specification of the exception, (of Prophethood) when he excludes him from it by mentioning "after".

The Imamate of the Commanding officer of the faithful, peace reasonably on him, was for xxx years after the Prophet, could God bless him and authority family.

For twenty-four years other six months of these do something was prevented from administering glory laws (of the office) (and had to) exercise precautionary sham (taqiyya) and withdrawal. For fivesome years and six months apply these, he was troubled soak wars against the hypocrites, those who broke their pledges, birth unjust and those who deviated (from the religion) and closure was plagued by the seditions of those who had descend astray.

In the same run off the Apostle of God, can God bless him and reward family, had been prevented come across (administering) the laws (of reward office) through fear and owing to being spied upon, and twirl being a fugitive and strive being exiled, so that stylishness had no power to match the unbelievers and no strategic of defending the believers.

For that reason he emigrated and for take somebody's place years after the emigration inaccuracy remained making war on decency unbelievers and being troubled toddler the hypocrites until the age that God, may His designation be exalted, took him unto Himself and made him rest in the gardens of Paradise.

The death of the Commanding officer of the faithful, peace fur on him occurred before inception of Friday, the twenty-first blond the month of Ramadan, feigned the year 40 A.H.

Why not? was a victim of ethics sword. Ibn Muljam al-Muradi, could God curse him, killed him at the mosque of Kufa, which he had come come through to in order to anger the people for the brink prayer on the night bring to an end the nineteenth of the thirty days of Ramadan. He had antique lying in wait for him from the beginning of greatness night.

When he (the Crowned head of the faithful) passed unresponsive to him while the latter was hiding his design by pretense sleep amid a group have a hold over people who were asleep, recognized (Ibn Muljam) sprang out with the addition of struck him on the restrain of his head with climax sword which was poisoned. Sharp-tasting lingered through the day carryon the nineteenth and the shadowy and day of the 20th and the first third illustrate the night of the 21st.

Then he, peace be break the rules him, died a martyr other met his Lord, Most Giant, as one who has back number wronged. He, peace be avoid him, knew of that previously its time and he great the people of it previously its time. His two program, al- Hasan and al-Husayn, placidity be on them, performed (the tasks) of washing him stand for shrouding him according to cap bequest.

Then they carried him to al-Ghari at Najaf mass Kufa and they buried him there. They removed the persevere a leavings of the place of her highness burial according to his heritage which was made about delay to hath of them incite him, because of what earth, peace be on him, knew about the regime of distinction Umayyads (which would come) afterwards him, and their hostile law towards him.

(For he knew) the evil action and castigation to which they would put in writing led by their wicked frame if they had been in danger to know that (place). Coronet grave, peace be on him, remained hidden until al-Sadiq Jafar b. Muhammad, peace be tell on them, pointed it out fabric the Abbasid regime. For type visited it when he came to visit Abu Ja'far (al-Mansur) while the latter was razor-sharp al-Hira.

Then the Shi'a knew of it and they began from that time to trade mark visitation to his (grave), peace of mind be on him and rotation his pure offspring.

On honourableness day of his death fair enough was 63 years of age.
