يا بن عباس...

يا بن عباس، و الذي بعثني بالحق نبيا، إن النار لأشد غضبا على مبغض علي منها على من زعم أن لله ولدا O Ibn Abbas, by the One Who -azwj Sent me with the Truth as a Prophet, the Fire will be more intense in its fury on the one who hates Ali -asws than on the one who claims that Allah -azwj has a son.’ يا بن عباس، لو أن الملائكة المقربين و الأنبياء المرسلين اجتمعوا على بغض علي، و لن يفعلوا، لعذبهم الله بالنار».

قلت: يا رسول الله، و هل يبغضه أحد؟ ‘O Ibn Abbas, if the Angels of Proximity and the Rasools -as gather together on the hatred of Ali -asws , and they will never do it, Allah -azwj would have Punished them by the Fire.’ I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww , does anyone hate him -asws ?’ قال: «يا بن عباس نعم، يبغضه قوم يذكرون أنهم من أمتي، لم يجعل الله لهم في الإسلام نصيبا He -saww said: ‘O Ibn Abbas, yes.

The group which hates him -asws is the one which mentions him -asws to be from my -saww community, Allah -azwj will never Make any share to be for them in Islam. يا بن عباس، إن من علامة بغضهم له تفضيلهم من هو دونه عليه. و الذي بعثني بالحق‏ نبيا، ما بعث الله نبيا أكرم عليه مني، و لا وصيا أكرم عليه من وصيي O Ibn Abbas, from the signs of their hatred is that they would have preferred it to be someone else (other than Ali -asws ).

By the One Who Sent me -asws by the Truth as a Prophet, Allah -azwj has never Sent a Prophet more prestigious than I -saww , and no successor more prestigious than him -asws as a successor.’ قال ابن عباس: فلم أزل له كما أمرني رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) و وصاني بمودته، و إنه لأكبر عملي عندي Ibn Abbas said, ‘I never removed the affection for him -asws as Rasool-Allah -saww had advised me, and this was a great deed with me.’ قال ابن عباس: ثم مضى من الزمان ما مضى، و حضرت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله) الوفاة، حضرته فقلت له: فداك أبي و امي يا رسول الله، قد دنا أجلك، فما تأمرني؟ Ibn Abbas said, ‘Then years passed by, and I was present with Rasool-Allah -saww when he -saww was near to passing away.

I said to him -saww : ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you -saww , O Rasool-Allah -saww ! Old age has come to you -saww . What is your -saww order for me?’ فقال: «يا بن عباس، خالف من خالف عليا، و لا تكونن لهم ظهيرا و لا وليا».
