Lovers of Ali bin Abi Taleb


Sahl bin Ahmad Al-Taraeqi and Mohammad bin Abdillah Al-Kufi narrated from Mohammad bin Jarir Al-Tabari, from Khalaf bin Khalifa, from Yazid bin Harun, from Mohammad bin Ibrahim bin Ibrahim bin Mubasher, from Jabir bin Abdillah Al-Ansari, who said:

I was sitting with the Prophet when Ali bin Abi Taleb .came. The Prophet brought him close to him, and wiped his (Ali’s) forehead with his aba and said to him, “O Abal Hasan, shall I tell you the good news that Jibraeel gave me?”

Ali replied, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah.”

The Prophet said:  There is a well in Paradise called “Tasneem.”  Two rivers emerge from it and (they are so large that) all of the ships of the world can sail on them. There are several trees on the shores of “Tasneem.” Their branches are pearls and coral, and the grass there is saffron.

Directly adjacent to the trees, there are people sitting on chairs made of light on whose foreheads, written in light, is ‘These are the believers; these are the lovers of Ali bin Abi Taleb.’
