Jabir Al-Jo’fi, from Jaafar bin Mohammad
(S.a.w.w.) who said:
One day while the Commander of the Believers, Ali bin Abi Taleb
(A.s.), was giving a speech in the mosque of Kufa, a snake entered the mosque,
People started hitting it with their
shoes.
Ali bin Abi Taleb (A.s.)
said to them, “Wait! May Allah (S.w.t.) have mercy on you! This snake is a
commissioner.”
So people stopped hitting the snake. The snake came close to
Ali bin Abi Taleb (A.s.) and started whispering in his ears.
Then the snake came down from the Mimber and Ali (A.s.)
followed it.
The people asked, “O Commander of the Believers! Will you not
tell us what the snake said to you?”
He replied, “I will. The snake said, “I am the messenger of
Jinn. They (wanted me to ) tell you: “If people loved and obeyed you the way we
do, Allah (S.w.t.) would not punish mankind in Hell.
