قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَخَرَجْتُ فَنَادَيْتُ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ هَلْ لِمَا نَادَيْتَ بِهِ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ Ali – asws Bin Abu Talib – asws said: ‘I – asws went out and called out among the people just as the Prophet – saww had instructed me – asws .
Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to me – asws , ‘Is there any interpretation to what you – asws called out with?’ I – asws said: ‘Allah – azwj and His – azwj Rasool – saww are more knowing’. قَالَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لِمَا نَادَى عَلِيٌّ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ He – asws said: ‘So, Umar and a group from the companions of the Prophet – saww stood up and entered to see him – saww . Umar said, ‘O Rasool-Allah – saww !
Is there any interpretation of what Ali – asws called out with?’ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ أَلَا مَنْ ظَلَمَ أَجِيراً أَجْرَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى فَمَنْ ظَلَمَنَا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ He – saww said: ‘Yes, I – saww instructed him – asws to call out: ‘Indeed!
One who is unjust to a worker of his recompense, upon him is the Curse of Allah – azwj ’, and Allah – azwj is Saying: ‘ Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23] . So, the one who is unjust to us -asws , then upon him is the Curse of Allah -azwj .
وَ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ مَنْ تَوَالَى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّ أَوْلى بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ فَمَنْ تَوَالَى غَيْرَ عَلِيٍ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ And I -saww instructed him -asws to call out: ‘One who follows other than his Master -asws , upon him is the Curse of Allah -azwj ’, and Allah -azwj is Saying: The Prophet is foremost with the Momineen than their own selves, [33:6] , and the one whose Master I -saww was, so Ali -asws is his Master.
Thus, the one who follows other than Ali -asws , upon him is the Curse of Allah -azwj .
