00:00:00 --> 00:00:03 
			Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wasallam told him during his
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06 
			life that, O Ali. Regarding you, the people
00:00:06 --> 00:00:08 
			will be divided into 2 extremes.
00:00:08 --> 00:00:10 
			There will be people who will love you
00:00:10 --> 00:00:12 
			so much that they will raise you beyond
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14 
			your rank. And there will be people who
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16 
			will dislike you so much that they will
00:00:16 --> 00:00:17 
			remove you from the fold. Meaning, they will
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20 
			drop you from from your rank. We are
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22 
			people who are in the middle. We state
00:00:22 --> 00:00:23 
			his credentials
00:00:23 --> 00:00:26 
			exactly as they are. We love him and
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28 
			respect him. We will not utter 1 word
00:00:28 --> 00:00:30 
			against Ali, ibn Abi Talib
00:00:30 --> 00:00:33 
			Just as we will not utter words against
00:00:33 --> 00:00:35 
			anyone of the other companions of
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36 
			Muhammad
00:00:36 --> 00:00:38 
			because it was Muhammad, may Allah's peace be
00:00:38 --> 00:00:39 
			upon him, who said,
00:00:49 --> 00:00:50 
			He said,
00:00:50 --> 00:00:53 
			Never speak bad about anyone of my companions
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55 
			for I swear by Allah
00:00:56 --> 00:00:59 
			I swear by the 1 in whose hands
00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 
			lies my soul.
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02 
			I swear by the 1 in whose hands
00:01:02 --> 00:01:05 
			lies my soul that if you were to
00:01:05 --> 00:01:08 
			spend the mount Uphur full of gold,
00:01:09 --> 00:01:11 
			it would not be equivalent to a little
00:01:11 --> 00:01:14 
			handful of what they spent or even half
00:01:14 --> 00:01:16 
			of that handful because of their level. So
00:01:16 --> 00:01:19 
			none of us are allowed to speak bad
00:01:19 --> 00:01:21 
			about any of the companions of Muhammad
00:01:23 --> 00:01:26 
			because we are far, far, far away from
00:01:26 --> 00:01:27 
			them in virtue. May Allah
00:01:28 --> 00:01:30 
			grant us even a little bit of virtue.
00:01:30 --> 00:01:31 
			Ameen.
