Hadith 95
نظر علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه في وجوه الناس، فقال: إني لأخو رسول الله ووزيره، وقد علمتم أني أولكم إيمانا بالله ورسوله، ثم دخلتم بعدي في الإسلام رسلا، وإني لابن عم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأخوه، وشريكه في نسبه، وأبو ولده، وزوج ابنته سيدة ولده، وسيدة نساء أهل الجنة، ولقد عرفتم أنا ما خرجنا مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مخرجا قط إلا رجعنا وأنا أحبكم إليه، وأوثقكم في نفسه، وأشدكم نكاية للعدو، وأثر ا في العدو، ولقد رأيتم بعثته إياي ببراءة، ولقد آخى بين المسلمين، فما اختار لنفسه أحد ا غيري، ولقد قال لي: أنت أخي، وأنا أخوك في الدنيا والآخرة، ولقد أخرج الناس من المسجد وتركني، ولقد قال لي: أنت مني بمنزلة هارون من موسى، إلا أنه لا نبي بعدي.
‘Ali ibn Abi Talib radiya Llahu ‘anhu looked at the peoples’ faces and said, “Verily I am the brother of the Messenger of Allah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam and his wazir (advisor). You know very well I was the first of you to bring faith in Allah and His Messenger; thereafter, you entered into Islam—after me as emissaries. Verily I am the cousin of the Messenger of Allah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, his brother, I share in his nasab (lineage), the father of his grandchildren, and the husband of his daughter, the mother of his grandchildren and the leader of the women of Jannat. You know very well I never went out with the Messenger of Allah salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam anywhere except that we returned and I was the most beloved to him, the most trustworthy, and the fiercest and most impactful against the enemy. You witnessed when he sent me to convey the message of Surah Baraʾah. The Prophet salla Llahu ‘alayhi wa sallam made a brotherhood bond between the Muslims; he only chose me (as his brother). He said to me, ‘You are my brother and I am your brother in the world and the hereafter.’ He evicted everyone from the masjid and he left me. He said to me, ‘You are unto me as Harun was to Musa, except that there is no prophet after me.’”
This hadith is narrated by Ibn al Maghazili — from Yahya ibn al ‘Alaʾ al Razi — from Jafar ibn Muhammad — from his father — from Ibn ‘Abbas.[1]
Yahya ibn al ‘Alaʾ al Razi is accused of lying.
Al Dhahabi says in the variant chains of transmission of the hadith, “Whoever’s mawla I am, ‘Ali is his mawla”: “This narrator Yahya is not a thiqah (reliable). Furthermore, Abu Jafar did not meet Ibn ‘Abbas. The hadith is extremely weak.”
In fact, it is mawdu’ (fabricated) and batil (false).
