وَ قَالَ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ...
وَ قَالَ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ عَمُودُ الدِّينِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا هُوَ الَّذِي يَضْرِبُ النَّاسَ بِالسَّيْفِ عَلَى الْحَقِّ بَعْدِي وَ قَالَ الْحَقُّ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ أَيْنَمَا مَالَ وَ قَالَ إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ أَمْرَيْنِ إِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِهِمَا لَنْ تَضِلُّوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي عِتْرَتِي أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا وَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ إِنَّكُمْ سَتَرِدُونَ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ فَأَسْأَلُكُمْ عَمَّا فَعَلْتُمْ فِي الثَّقَلَيْنِ وَ الثَّقَلَانِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي فَلَا تَسْبِقُوهُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا وَ لَا تُعَلِّمُوهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكُمْ And he -saww said: ‘Ali -asws is the chief of the Momineen ’, and said: ‘Ali -asws is the pillar of the Religion’, and said: ‘This is the one who would be striking the people with the sword upon the Truth after me -saww ’, and said: ‘The Truth is with Ali -asws wherever he -asws so inclines’.
And said: ‘I -saww leave behind among you all two matters. If you were to take to these two, you will never stray – the Book of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic and the People -asws of my -saww Household, my -saww family. O you people! Listen, and I -saww have delivered (the Message).
You will soon be returning to me -saww at the Fountain, and I -saww will be asking you all about what you had done with the two weighty things, and the two weighty things are the Book of Allah -azwj , Mighty is His -azwj Mention and the People -asws of my -saww Household. Therefore, do not precede them -asws for you will be destroyed, and not do (try to) teach them -asws , for they -asws are more knowledgeable than you are’.
فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِنْ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَما بَلَّغْتَ رِسالَتَهُ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكافِرِينَ When Rasool-Allah -saww returned from the Farewell Hajj, Jibraeel -as descended unto him -saww and said: O you Rasool!
Deliver what has been Revealed unto you from your Lord; and if you don’t do so, then you have not delivered His Message, and Allah will Protect you from the people. Surely Allah does not Guide the Kafir people [5:67] .
