I -saww returned their greeting...

I -saww returned their greeting, and I -saww saw the Angels giving each other the glad tidings with it, and there was no Angel who passed by another Angel of the sky, but congratulated me -saww and said: ‘O Muhammad -saww , by the One Who -azwj Sent you -saww by the Truth as a Prophet, happiness has permeated into all of the Angels by Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic (Choosing) the son of your -saww uncle to be your -saww Caliph (successor).’ و رأيت حملة العرش قد نكسوا رؤوسهم إلى الأرض، فقلت: يا جبرئيل لم نكس حملة العرش رؤوسهم؟ And I -saww saw that the bearers of the Throne had lowered their heads towards the earth.

I ‑saww said: ‘O Jibraeel -as , why have the bearers of the Throne lowered their heads?’ فقال: يا محمد، ما من ملك من الملائكة إلا و قد نظر إلى وجه علي بن أبي طالب استبشارا به، ما خلا حملة العرش فإنهم استأذنوا الله عز و جل الساعة، فأذن لهم أن ينظروا إلى علي بن أبي طالب، فنظروا إليه، فلما هبطت جعلت أخبره بذلك و هو يخبرني به، فعلمت أني لم أطأ موطئا إلا و قد كشف لعلي عنه حتى نظر إليه He said: ‘O Muhammad -saww !

There is none from the Angels except that he is looking at the face of Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , getting glad tidings with it, except for the bearers of the Throne. They had asked Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic for the time. He -azwj Permitted them to look at Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws . They looked at him -asws . When they got down, they brought his -asws news by that and they informed me about it.

I know that I will not be Given the footstool except that it has been disclosed to Ali -asws and I have looked at him -asws .’ قال ابن عباس: فقلت: يا رسول الله، أوصني.

فقال: «عليك بمودة علي بن أبي طالب، و الذي بعثني بالحق نبيا لا يقبل الله من عبد حسنة حتى يسأله عن حب علي بن أبي طالب، و هو تعالى أعلم، فإن جاء بولايته، قبل عمله على ما كان منه، و إن لم يأت بولايته لم يسأله عن شي‏ء، ثم أمر به إلى النار Ibn Abbas said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww , advise me.’ He -saww said: ‘It is for you to have affection for Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws .

By the One Who -azwj Sent me -saww by the Truth as a Prophet, Allah -azwj will not Accept from the servant any good deed until He -azwj Questions him about the love of Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , and He -azwj , the Exalted Knows that he has come with his -asws Wilayah, will Accept his deeds even from before it. And if he did not come by his -asws Wilayah, He -azwj will not Ask him about anything, and Command for him to be in the Fire.
