Part 12
..... O Kumail! We are the second weight and the Qur’an is the first weight. The Prophet (s.a.w.w.) gathered the people for seven continuous days, ensuring that everyone would hear the following message he gave on the Minbar:
..... O Kumail! We are the second weight and the Qur’an is the first weight. The Prophet (s.a.w.w.) gathered the people for seven continuous days, ensuring that everyone would hear the following message he gave on the Minbar:
O People! I
speak on behalf of Allah (s.w.t.) ; I do not speak of my own inclination. So
those who believe me believe Allah, and those who believe Him will be rewarded
with Paradise. And those who do not believe me do not believe Allah (s.w.t.) ,
and those who do not believe Him will be punished with Hell.
Then the
Prophet(s.a.w.w.) called me (Imam Ali (a.s.)) to stand next to him on the
Minbar. He placed my head on his chest, and Hasan (as) and Husain (as) were to
his right and left.
Then he said:
O people!
Jibraeel told me that Allah (s.w.t.), who is both your Lord and my Lord, has
ordered me to teach you that the Qur’an is the first weight. The second weight
is Ali (as) , my successor, and then his sons, and then after them, their sons.
The first
weight testifies for the second weight, and the second weight testifies for the
first weight. They will always be together and will not separate until they
meet Allah (s.w.t.) , and then Allah (s.w.t.) will judge between them and His slaves.
O Kumail! If
this is our status then why did they usurp our rights and precede us? And why
did some (of them) hold back and not support us?
O Kumail! The Prophet (s.a.w.w.) informed them of the
message of Allah (s.w.t.) and advised them but they do not like the advisors.
