" And today...
" And today, in Ghadir- Khum, they say to- each other in the same manner: "The prophet's love to Imam Ali is too much. Does he like him, forever, more than us?" Alas! That incomplete consciousnesses need purity, softness and struggle until people's perception grow up.
The acknowledgement of the last message, didn't need the Hajjat- ol- veda; until the holy prophet proceeds to it in his last Hajj, in the presence of the merciful God and hold Imam Ali's hand and show him to people, so that they confirm him! No, I swear by God, that succession and leadership fitted like a shining crown to Imam Ali (p.b.u.h.). Succession of the holy prophet was apparent from his nature and his generous heart. The history is not blind to disregard it.
And, none of the generous men of that time weren't blind to not read the reality. But ...alas that the politics of the aged and old people, which was full of old ignorant opinions, and tribal feelings, was blind to see and read the succession and leadership of Ali (p.b.u.h.).
The ignorant prejudice which was asleep in the depth of the soul of Umar - Ibn - khattab didn't let him to accept young man take precedence to him, and to the people like him, and the nobles of the Island; especially to the adults and the persons who were in front ranks. It didn't make any difference to Umar, that this young man was Ali 0' Osamah - Ibn - Zaid! The interest and love of Umar - Ibn - Khattab to caliphate and power, was more than his interest to the value of the prophetic mission.
So, he didn't want to listen to the awardable forecasting that specified the leadership and caliphate of Imam Ali. Therefore, after the death of the holy prophet, he did not accept Imam Ali's leadership. For the same reason, he did not obey the order of the prophet (p.b.u.h) to enter the army that Osamah - Ibn Zaid was its commander. This wasn't the only point in Umar criterion (a monster hidden from a terrible past in his soul) A worm which wanted power. That worm was tribal prejudice.
When the animating prophetic - mission came about, that worm hid itself in the darkness of hypocrisy. And today, in the absence of that great prophet it has returned to its first pasture, ignorance situation. And the divine leadership and succession of Imarn Ali was the first bout for it that was seized. So we repeat our wishes that, Hajjat- 01- Veda (The last pilgrimage of the holy prophet to Mecca) had accomplished thirty or forty years after Hijrat.
