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.
