Imam Ali (as) through the verses of holy Quran

افسران - Imam Ali (as) through the verses of holy Quran

Discussion of Muawiya and Ibn Abbas

When Muawiya entered Madina as the Caliph of the Muslims, commanded to bring Ibn Abbas the cousin of Imam Ali (AS). Then told him with sadness and anger:

“I have heard that you still speak about the virtues of Ali. Don’t you know that I have inhibited speaking about his virtues? Be afraid of my angriness.”

Ibn Abbas answered: “all residents of Madina know that I just interpret the Quran. But as I have heard the Prophet (pbuh) has told that who misinterprets Quran will be in the fire (hell), I only tell the truth.”

Muawiya: “interpret It and don’t say anything wrong but you don’t have this right to speak about Ali’s virtues.”

Ibn Abbas: “OK, but sometimes I read this verse »AND THEY FEED THEIR FOOD, INSPITE OF THEIR OWN NEEDS FOR IT, TO THE NEEDY, ORPHAN AND THE CAPTIVE. « (Insan/8) and my students ask me that who is God regarding in this verse so I should say that they are Ali and Fatima and Fezze, their Maid and if no, Im lying.”

Muawiya: “interpret other verses for them, Quran has many verses.”

Ibn Abbas: “OK, now I’ll read another one.

» O, MESSENGER! PROCLAIM THAT WHICH HAS BEEN SENT DOWN TO YOU FROM YOUR LORD. AND IF YOU DON”T DO, THEN YOU HAVE NOT CONVEYED HIS MESSAGE (AT ALL). ALLAH WILL PROTECT YOU FROM (THE PROBABLE DANGERS OF) PEOPLE; THAT ALLAH GUIDES NOT THE UNBELIEVING PEOPLE.« (Maidah/67)

They will ask me what was that thing that if Prophet didn’t proclaim it, it was like that he didn’t proclaim his prophecy. So I should say that Prophet had this mission to introduce Ali as immediate successor after himself in ghadir khom.”

Muawiya: “why this verse? Read another one”

Ibn Abbas: “listen to this verse:

»O, YOU WHO HAVE BELIEVED! WHEN YOU HAVE TO HAVE A PRIVATE TALK WITH THE MESSENGER; ADVANCE BEFORE YOUR PRIVATE TALK SOME ALMS. THAT IS BETTER FOR YOU AND PURER. BUT IF YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT, ALLAH IS ALL-FORGIVING COMPASSIONATE.«

They will ask me that had anyone acted as this verse? So I should say that the only person who did this work was Ali. Despite that he only had one Dinar, he exchanged it to ten Derhams and when he wanted to have a private talk to Prophet he paid one Derham.

Muawiya: “read others.”

Ibn Abbas: ” »AND AMONG MEN IS HE WHO (LIKE HAZRAT IMAM ALI (AS) WHO REPLACED THE PROPHET IN HIS BED TO SAVE HIS LIFE) SELLS HIS LIFE TO EARN THE PLEASURE OF ALLAH; AND ALLAH IS COMPASSIONATE TO HIS SERVANTS. « (Shura/23)

They ask me who the person who sacrificed himself was and I should answer He was Ali that he slept at the place of Prophet in the laylat al-mubit so that Prophet could migrate to Madina.”

Muawiya: “other verses”

Ibn Abbas: ” » THAT IS (THE OBJECT OF) THE GLAD-TIDINGS THAT ALLAH GIVES TO THOSE OF HIS SERVANTS WHO HAVE BELIEVED AND HAVE DONE RIGHTEOUS DEEDS. SAY:- “I DO NOT ASK YOU ANY REWARD FOR IT, EXCEPT LOVING MY DEARERS AND NEARERS.”” AND HE WHO DOES A GOOD DEED WE INCREASE FOR HIM MORE GOODNESS IN THAT. (WE REPAY HIM 10 TIMES MORE) THAT ALLAH IS ALL-FORGIVING THANKFUL.« (Shura/23)

They will ask who the nearers of Prophet are and I should say that they are Ali and Fatima and their children.

Muawiya: “Quran has thousands of verses, read another one.”

Ibn Abbas: ” » VERILY ALLAH INTENDS TO REMOVE FROM YOU THE HOUSEHOLD, UNCLEANLINESS AND TO CLEAN YOU A (PERFECT) CLEANING« (al Ahzab/33)

They will ask me that who are them and I should say that they are the household of Prophet.”

Muawiya: “Isn’t there any other verse in Quran?”

Ibn Abbas: ” »THEN WHOEVER DISPUTE WITH YOU IN HIM, AFTER WHAT HAS COME TO YOU OF KNOWLEDGE; SAY: “COME ON! LET US CALL OUR SONS AND YOUR SONS, OUR WOMEN AND YOUR WOMEN, OURSELVES AND YOURSELVES THEN LET US EARNESTLY PRAY, AND LAY THE CURSE OF ALLAH ON THE LIARS « (Al Imran/61)

They would ask me about the Prophet’s Mubahila with the Christians of Nijran that they decided to curse each other and God annihilate the liars.

If I want to interpret truly, I should say that Prophet went to Mubahila with Ali and Fatima and their children, Hassan and Hussain. During this event Prophet (pbuh) also said that Ali is his life and breath.

And if I want to say that there was another man but not Ali, I’m lying.”

Muawiya: “others”

Ibn Abbas: ” »YOUR VALI, (YOUR SPIRITUAL AND MATERIAL LEADER AND GUARDIAN) IS NO ONE BUT ALLAH AND HIS MESSENGER, AND THOSE WHO HAVE BELIEVED, THOSE WHO PERFORM THE PRAYER, AND PAY ALMS- TAX WHILE THEY ARE BOWED, (IN PRAYER) «

If they ask whose the person that is people’s Vali after Prophet and he paid alms-tax when he was praying and he was bowed? I should say Ali.”

Muawiya: “interpret other verses”

Ibn Abbas: ” so listen to this one:

»YOU ARE ONLY A WARNER, AND THERE IS A GUIDE FOR EVERY PEOPLE« (Raad/7)

They would say that we know the Warner of ummah that he is the Prophet (pbuh) but we don’t know the Guider.

If I want to tell the truth I should say that the guider is Ali because the Prophet has said that I’m the warner of ummah and Ali is their guider. Then said to Ali: “people will be guided to the right way by you.”

Muawiya: “doesn’t Quran have other verses for interpret?”

Ibn Abbas: “OK, listen:

» SAY:ِ ENOUGH IS ALLAH FOR A WITNESS BETWEEN ME AND YOU, AND HE WITH WHOM IS THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE BOOK« (Raad/43)

Students would ask that who the person that has the knowledge of Quran is? I should say Ali. Because all of the sunni and shia commentators have quoted from Prophet that this person is Ali.

In addition the Prophet (pbuh) many times said that: “I’m the city of knowledge and wisdom and Ali is its gate. Someone who wants to get wisdom should enter from the gate.”

Muawiya: “read from other verses.”

Ibn Abbas: “I would read this verse:

»AND CLING TO THE ROPE OF ALLAH ALL OF YOU TOGETHER, AND DIVIDE NOT« (Al Imran/103)

If they ask what does the rope of Allah means? I should say that it means the household of Prophet (pbuh) that Ali is head of them.

Because it’s frequently quoted from Prophet (pbuh) that: “I leave two strong ropes among my ummah, people who cling to these ropes would never be misleading. One of these ropes is greater than the other and that’s Quran that is like a rope from sky to the earth and the other is my Itrat (household) and these two ropes won’t be separated from each other till join me besides the Kowsar fountain.”

Muawiya, if I interpret these verses and so other verses despite the truth, in fact I’m lying and I won’t do this.
