W.P.S: Mohammad bin Musa bin Motawakkil, from Ali bin Husain
Al-Saad Abaadi, from Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah Al-Barqi, from his father, from
Mohammad bin Sinan, from Abi Jarud Ziyad bin Monthir, from Qasem bin Walid,
from Shaykh bin Thomala, who said:
“I went to Abul Hamraa, servant of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.),
and asked him to tell me about some of the things that he had heard from the Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) about Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.).”
Abul Hamraa said:
Once the Messenger of Allah (s.w.t.) (s.a.w.a.) told me to
go and gather one hundred Arab men, fifty Persian men, thirty Copt men, and
twenty Habasha men.
So I went and brought them all to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.).
Then the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) aligned the Arabs in one line, the Persians behind
them, the Coptic behind the Persians, and the Habasha behind the Coptics.
The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) started by praising Allah (s.w.t.) in
a way that no one had heard before.
Then he asked them:
O Crowd of Arabs, Persians, Coptic, and Habasha! Do you
testify that:
There is no god but Allah (s.w.t.), He is unique and has no
partners? I am His slave and His Messenger?
Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.) is the Commander of the Believers
and he has more authority on the believers than they have on themselves after
me?
They all replied, “We swear to Allah (s.w.t.) that we do.”
The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said three times, “O Allah (s.w.t.)!
Be my witness.”
Then the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) turned to Ali (a.s.) and said, “O
Abal Hasan! Go and get a piece of paper and a pen.”
When Ali (a.s.) brought the piece of paper and the pen, the Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) told him to write the following:
In the name of Allah (s.w.t.), The Beneficent, The Merciful.
The Arabs, the Persians, the Coptic, and the Habasha have
testified that:
There is no god but Allah (s.w.t.), He is unique and has no
partners; I am His slave and His Messenger; Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.) is the
Commander of the Believers and he has more authority on the believers than they
have on themselves after me.
Then the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) sealed the letter and gave it to
Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.), and I have not seen this letter ever since.
Then I (Shaykh bin Thomala) told Abul Hamraa to tell me
another Hadith.
He said that on the Day of ‘ARAFA, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.)
approached the crowd while holding Ali bin Abi Taleb (a.s.)’s hand, and he
said, “O creation of Allah (s.w.t.)! Allah (s.w.t.) has boasted about the
believers and will forgive all of them today.”
Then the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) turned to Ali (a.s.) and said, “Allah
(s.w.t.) has specifically forgiven the believers because of you.”
Then the Prophet said to Ali bin Ali Taleb (a.s.), “Come
closer to me.” Ali (a.s.) went closer to the Prophet (s.a.w.a.).
The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to him:
