Maymun – Ibn ‘Abbas...

Maymun – Ibn ‘Abbas: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to ‘Ali: “ You are the wali of every believer after me .”[^4] ‘Allamah al-Albani says about it: . وأما قوله: "وهو ولي كل مؤمن بعدي " فقد جاء من حديث ابن عباس، فقال الطيالسي (2752) : حدثنا أبو عوانة عن أبي بلج عن عمرو بن ميمون عنه " أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لعلي: " أنت ولي كل مؤمن بعدي ". وأخرجه أحمد (1 / 330 - 331) ومن طريقه الحاكم (3 / 132 - 133) وقال: " صحيح الإسناد "، ووافقه الذهبي، وهو كما قالا.

As for his statement “and he is the wali of every believer after me”, it has been narrated in the hadith of Ibn ‘Abbas, for al-Tayalisi (2752) said: Abu ‘Awanah – Abu Balj – ‘Amr b. Maymun, from him (i.e.

Ibn ‘Abbas), “that the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to ‘Ali: ‘You are the wali of every believer after me.’” Ahmad (1/330-331) recorded it, and from his route al-Hakim (3/132-133), and he (al-Hakim) said, “a sahih chain” and al-Dhahabi concurred with him, and it is indeed as both have stated .[^5] So, Imam al-Hakim[^6], Imam al-Dhahabi ^7 and al-Albani again grade this second chain of the hadith to be sahih .

Imam al-Busiri also states: وعن ابن عباس , رضى الله عنهما , أن رسول الله صَلَّى الله عَلَيه وسَلَّم قال لعلي : أنت ولي كل مؤمن بعدي. رواه أبو داود الطيالسي بسند صحيح. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said to ‘Ali: “You are the wali of every believer after me.” Abu Dawud al-Tayalisi has recorded it with a sahih chain .[^8] Closely following al-Tayalisi is Imam Ibn Abi Shaybah (235 H)[^9]. Imam al-Shami (d.

942 H) says: وروى ابن أبي شيبة وهو صحيح عن عمران - رضي الله تعالى عنه - قال: قال رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم -: " علي مني وأنا منه، وعلي ولي كل مؤمن من بعدي." Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated, and it is sahih , from ‘Imran, may Allah be pleased with him, saying: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “Ali is from me and I am from him, and ‘Ali is the wali of every believer after me.”[^10] Imam Ahmad b.
