Al-Khiṣāl - Part 5: On Five-Numbered Characteristics Chapter: God Granted Five Things to the Prophetand Five Things to Ali 5-58 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن ٠علي بن هلال، عن الكلبي، عن أبي صالح، عن ابن عباس قال: سـ٠عت رسول اللهصلى الله عليه وآله يقول: أعطاني الله تبارك وتعالى خ٠، وجعلني نبيا وجعله وصيا، وأعطاني الكوثر، وأعطاه السلسبيل، وأعطاني الوحي وأعطاه الالها٠، وأسرى بي إليه وفتح له أبواب الس٠اوات والحجب حتى نظر إلى ٠ا نظرت إليه، والحديث طويل أخذنا ٠وضع الحاجة، وقد أخرجته بت٠5-58 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted Abdullah ibn Musa ibn Harun al-Mufti, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman al-Arzami, on the authority of Al-Mo’ala ibn Hilal, on the authority of Al-Kalbi, on the authority of Abi Salih, on the authority of Ibn Abbas that he had heard God’s Prophet (MGB) say, “God granted me fivethings and granted Ali (MGB) five things.

He gave me the most complete sayings and granted Ali (MGB) the most complete knowledge. He appointed me to the Prophethood and appointed Ali (MGB) to be my Trustee. He granted me the Al-Kauthar and granted Ali (MGB) the Al-Salsabil (with fresh cool water). He sent me revelations and inspired him. He took me on the Ascension to the Heavens and opened the Heaven doors for him (MGB) so that he (MGB) may see what I saw.”This is part of a long narration.

I have recorded as much as needed here and I have quoted it in the book of Ascension or Al-Mi’raj.
