He -asws said: \u2018Jibraeel -as said to me -saww that is Ali -asws and his -asws Shias, they would be the foremost to the Paradise, the ones of Proximity from Allah -azwj due to His -azwj Honour for them\u2019\u2019.
[4] \n \u2018From Ja\u2019far -asws Bin Muhammad -asws regarding this Verse: A group from the former ones [56:13] : \u2018The son -as of Adam -as whose brother killed him -as , and Momin of people of Pharaoh -la , and Habeeb Al-Najjar companion of Yaseen; And a few from the latter ones [56:14] \u2013 Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws \u2019\u2019.
[5] \n In a report by Abu Zarr Al Ghifary -ra , may Allah -azwj be Satisfied with him -ra , \u2018When Rasool-Allah -saww expired, Ali -asws collected the Quran and came with it to the Emigrants and the Helpers and presented it to them just as Rasool-Allah -saww had bequeathed him -asws with doing that. \n When Abu Bakr opened it, there emerged in the first page he opened, scandals of the people. Umar leapt and said, \u2018O Ali -asws !
Return it, for there is no need for us regarding it!\u2019 \n Ali -asws took it and left. Then they presented Zayd Bin Sabit (an open reviler of Ali -asws ), and he was a reader of the Quran.
Umar said to him, \u2018Ali -asws came to us with the Quran and in it were scandals of the Emigrants and the Helpers, and we have viewed that we shall compile the Quran and drop from it whatever scandals were in it, and disgraces of the Emigrants and the Helpers!\u2019 \n Zayd answered him to that, then said, \u2018Supposing I am free from the Quran based upon what you are asking, and Ali -asws reveals the Quran he -asws has compiled, wouldn\u2019t that invalidate what you know?\u2019 \n Umar said, \u2018So what is the ploy?\u2019 \n Zayd said, \u2018You are more knowing with the ploy\u2019.
\n Umar said, \u2018There is no ploy besides us killing him -asws and we can be at rest from him -asws !\u2019 \n He pondered regarding killing him -asws upon the hands of Khalid Bin Al-Waleed, but he was not able upon that (and the commentary of that has passed). When Umar became caliph, he asked Ali -asws to hand over the Quran to them so they could alter it between them. \n He said, \u2018O Abu Al-Hassan -asws !
If you -asws could come with the Quran which you -asws had come with to Abu Bakr until we can be united upon it!\u2019 \n Ali -asws said: \u2018Far be it! There isn\u2019t any way to that.
