21 ( http://hubeali.com/books/English-Books/BiharAlAnwaar/BiharAlAnwaar_V21.pdf ) Conspiracy of assassinating Rasool-Allah -saww and Ali -asws Ibn Abi Talib -asws : تفسير الإمام عليه السلام ج، الإحتجاج بِالْإِسْنَادِ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع قَالَ: لَقَدْ رَامَتِ الْفَجَرَةُ الْكَفَرَةُ لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ قَتْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى الْعَقَبَةِ وَ رَامَ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ مَرَدَةِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَتْلَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَمَا قَدَرُوا عَلَى مُغَالَبَةِ رَبِّهِمْ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ حَسَدُهُمْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي عَلِيٍّ ع لِمَا فَخَّمَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ عَظَّمَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askari) -asws , (and the book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’, by the chain going up to Muhammad Al-Askari -asws having said: ‘‘And the mischievous Kafirs (hypocrites) wished to kill Rasool-Allah ‑saww on the night of Al-Aqaba (at Al-Aqaba), and the remaining ones from the renegade hypocrites at Al-Medina wished to kill Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws .
But they were not able upon overcoming their Lord -azwj (Wish – to Protect them -asws both). That which carried them upon that was their envy to Rasool-Allah -saww regarding Ali -asws due to the grandness of his -asws matter and the greatness of his -asws glory.
مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ خَلَّفَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي وَ قَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ الْعَلِيَّ الْأَعْلَى يُقْرِؤُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِمَّا أَنْتَ تَخْرُجُ وَ يُقِيمُ عَلِيٌّ أَوْ تُقِيمُ أَنْتَ وَ يَخْرُجُ عَلِيٌّ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ عَلِيّاً قَدْ نَدَبْتُهُ لِإِحْدَى اثْنَتَيْنِ لَا يَعْلَمُ أَحَدٌ كُنْهَ جَلَالِ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فِيهِمَا وَ عَظِيمَ ثَوَابِهِ غَيْرِي From that – When he -saww went out from Al-Medina, and he -saww had left him -asws behind upon it, said to him -asws : ‘Jibraeel -as came to me -saww and said to me: ‘O Muhammad -saww !
The most Exalted Conveys the Greetings and is saying to you -saww : “O Muhammad -saww ! Either you -saww go out and Ali -asws stays, or Ali -asws goes out and you -saww stay. It is a must from that, for Ali -asws has been Mandated with one of the two. No one knows the majesty of the one who obeys Me -azwj in these two (choices), and the greatness of its Rewards apart from Me -azwj ”.
