Book: Ilal ush-Sharae, 1-st volume, chp – 137. Author

Ali ibn Abi Talib (alaihi salam) said: “Prophet, sallalahu alaihi wa ali, said to me: “You are the first one to enter to heaven”. I (Ali) said: “O messenger of Allah, I would enter there before you?” He said: “Yes”.

This is superiority. As we can see Ali is superior in this to prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) in accordance to this narration!

We have already seen some shias accusing others from their sect in kufr. I suggest to those shias which would like to hasten appearance of their master – start making takfir of your brothers, spit in their faces. And may be your master would reappear again.

Similar hadith in book “Ghaybah” of Nomani p 213 from al-Husayn ibn Ali, p 214 from Abu Abdullah.

`Abdullah ibn `Umar has reported: The Messenger of Allah was asked: In what tone did the Almighty God speak to you on the night of ascension (Mi`raj)? The Holy Prophet said: He addressed me in the tone of `Ali! At that time, I was inspired to ask: O Lord, are you speaking to me or it is `Ali who is speaking to me? God said: O Ahmad! My truth is different from that of other things! I can neither be compared with people nor am I described with similar things! I created you from my light and `Ali from your light. Thereafter, I became aware of the secret of your heart, finding out there was no one closer and more beloved to your heart than `Ali. Hence, I addressed you in the tone of `Ali so that your heart will be put at rest in this assembly of friendship.

141 / 5 – قال أبو جعفر: وحدثنا أحمد بن منصور الرمادي قال: حدثنا شاذان بن عمر قال: حدثنا مرة بن قبيصة بن عبد الحميد قال: قال لي: جابر بن يزيد الجعفي: رأيت مولاي الباقر (ع) وقد صنع فيلا من طين فركبه وطار في الهواء حتى ذهب إلى مكة عليه ورجع فلم أصدق ذلك منه حتى رأيت الباقر (ع) فقلت له: أخبرني جابر عنك بكذا وكذا فصنع مثله وركب وحملني معه إلى مكة وردني

Marat ibn Qubaisat ibn Abdulhamid said that: Jabir Bin Yazid Al-Jafee said to me: I saw that my master Al-Baqir(alaihi salam) had made an elephant from clay, and he sat over it(rode it) and flew in the sky to Makkah and came back to me”. So I (Marat) didn’t testify this from him (Jabir) until I saw Al-Baqir (alaihi salam) and I said unto him: Jabir told me about you about such and such things. And he did similar (elephant) and sat on it and took me with him to Makkah and returned me.

And it was also narrated by Bahrani in “Madinatul Majaiz” (see scans)

إن تمام الإسلام باعتقاد ولاية علي عليه السلام، ولا ينفع الإقرار بالنبوة مع جحد إمامة علي كما لا ينفع الإقرار بالتوحيد من جحد بالنبوة

“Completeness of Islam in belief in wilayah of Ali (alaihi salam), and acceptance of prophecy wouldn’t benefit along with denial of imamah of Ali, as wouldn’t benefit acceptance of Tawhid along with denial of prophecy”.

And at the same page he narrated from imam Ali:

من لم يقر بولايتي لم ينفعه الإقرار بنبوة محمد

Whoever wouldn’t accept my wilayah, he wouldn’t benefit from acceptance of prophecy of Muhammad.

Who was more knowledgeable?

Ayatolla Jafar as-Subhani in his book “The message” (ch. The first revelation) wrote:

“Just like the dates of birth and death of the Holy Prophet the date of his appointment to the prophetic mission is also not known definitely from the historical point of view; the Shi’ah scholars are almost unanimous that he was appointed to the prophetic mission on the 27th of Rajab and his prophethood commenced from the same day. However the Sunni scholars usually claim that he was appointed to this mission during the holy month of Ramadan.

As Shi’ahs claim to be the followers of the progeny of the Prophet and consider their reports to be true and final in the light of ‘Hadith Thaqalayn’ they have accepted the report of the progeny of the Prophet’s Household about the date of this appointment to the prophetic mission to be correct. The descendants of the Prophet say: “The chief of the family was appointed to the prophetic mission on the 27th of Rajab”. In view of this Shi’ahs do not entertain any doubt about the correctness of this date”. (end of quote).

Other shia history book, “A Glance at the Life of the Holy Prophet of Islam” says:

“By the time the Holy Prophet of Islam reached the age of 40, he was ready for his divine mission.” One day suddenly, while he sat in a cave at Mount Hira, Gabriel, the Angel of Revelation, appeared to him and said, ‘Recite!’ He said in surprise, ‘What shall I recite?’ Again the divine voice very clearly and openly called out, ‘Recite, O Muhammad!’

And a third time Gabriel repeated, ‘Recite in the Name of Your Lord Who created. He created the human being from a clot. Recite and your Lord is Most Honourable, Who taught (to write) with the pen, taught the human being what he knew not’ (95:1-5)”. (ch. The prophet at the age of forty).

From these quotes it’s clear for us that before this incident, Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) didn’t know that he was a prophet, and for sure Quran still wasn’t revealed upon him.

Muhammad al-Kulayni narrated in al-Kafi (1/453), from imam, which said:

“Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (alaihi salam) was born thirty years after the birth of the Holy Prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ali)”.

So in accordance to shia sources, when prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) received his first revelation, Ali was 10 years old.

Kulayni in the very same book (1/386) gave some details, how imam is coming to this earth. He quoted imam Abu Abdullah, which said:

إن نطفة الامام مما أخبرتك وإذا سكنت النطفة في الرحم أربعة أشهر وانشئ فيها الروح بعث الله تبارك وتعالى ملكا يقال له: حيوان فكتب على عضده الايمن ” وتمت كلمة ربك صدقا وعدلا لا مبدل لكلماته وهو السميع العليم ” وإذا وقع من بطن امه وقع واضعا يديه على الارض رافعا رأسه إلى السماء فأما وضعه يديه على الارض فإنه يقبض كل علم لله أنزله من السماء إلى الارض وأما رفعه رأسه إلى السماء فان مناديا ينادي به من بطنان العرش من قبل رب العزة من الافق الاعلى باسمه واسم أبيه يقول: يا فلان بن فلان اثبت تثبت، فلعظيم ما خلقتك أنت صفوتي من خلقي وموضع سري وعيبة علمي وأميني على وحيي وخليفتي في أرضي، لك ولمن تولاك أوجبت رحمتي ومنحت جناني وأحللت جواري، ثم وعزتي وجلالي لاصلين من عاداك أشد عذابي وإن وسعت عليه في دنياي من سعة رزقي فإذا انقضى الصوت – صوت المنادي – أجابه هو واضعا يديه رافعا رأسه إلى السماء يقول ” شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملائكة واولوا العلم قائما بالقسط لا إله إلا هو العزيز الحكيم “

The seed of the Imam is from what I just explained to you. When the seed is accommodated in the womb for four months and the spirit is established therein Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High, then send an angel. This angel is called Haywan (animal or living). He then writes on his right shoulder “. . .in all truth and justice, your Lord’s Word has been completed. No one can change His Words. He is All-hearing and All-knowing.”. (6:115) When he comes out of his mothers womb he places his hands on the floor and raises his head to the sky. Placing his hands on earth is an indication of his taking possession of all the knowledge of Allah that is sent from the heavens to earth. Raising his head to the sky is that because a caller from inside the Throne calls him from the high horizon with his name and the name of his father. It is for (on behalf of) the Lord, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, saying, “O so and so, son of so and so. Be firm so that you would be established. For the great purpose that I have created you, you are my chosen one in my creatures. You are the keeper of My secrets, the container of My knowledge, the trustee of My inspiration and My deputy and representative on earth. I have made it necessary for My blessings and mercy to reach you and those who would love you (and acknowledge your Divine Authority). I have gifted My paradise and given a place near Myself to you and to them. Also, by My Majesty and Grace, I will make your enemies to feel the heat of My punishment even though I may have given them expanded prosperity in My world such as prosperity in their livelihood. When the call of caller ends he responds to it by placing his hands on the ground and raising his head to the sky and says the following. “God Himself testifies that He is the only Lord. The angels and the men of knowledge and justice testify that God is the only Lord, the Majestic, and All-wise.” (3:18) (end of quote)

So as I wrote, in accordance to shia source, Ali was born 30 years after prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam), and 10 years before prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam) received his prophecy. As we can see in this narration, when he was born he already recited verse from Quran, which was not yet revealed upon prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam).

In the same book, Kulayni narrated (1/387):

فإذا ولد بعث ذلك الملك فيكتب بين عينيه: ” وتمت كلمة ربك صدقا وعدلا لا مبدل لكلماته وهو السميع العليم “

When he (imam) is born that angel comes and writes between his eyes, “. . .in all truth and justice, your Lord’s Word has been completed. No one can change His Words. He is All-hearing and All-knowing.” (6:115) (end of quote).

And he also narrated from imam (1/388):

لا تتكلموا في الامام فإن الامام يسمع الكلام وهو في بطن امه فاذا وضعته كتب الملك بين عينيه ” وتمت كلمة ربك صدقا وعدلا لا مبدل لكلماته وهو السميع العليم “

“Do not speak about the Imam. The Imam (a.s.) hears the words while he still is in the womb of his mother. When she would give birth the angel write between his eyes, “. . .in all truth and justice, your Lord’s Word has been completed. No one can change His Words. He is All-hearing and All-knowing.”. (6:115)

So obviously, even Fatima bint Asad (r.a), mother of Ali, was more knowledgeable than prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam). We know that shias believe Ali was born in Kaaba. Shia author Mufti Jafar Husayn in his book “Sirat amir al-muminin” (ch. The fecicitous birth, p 116) wrote:

“Fatimah bint Asad emerged from the Ka`bah three days after the birth of `Ali (a.s) with the baby in her arms”. (end of quote).

For sure during these days she would read words, written between eyes of her new born child, and as we can understand she knew and recite this mentioned verse of Quran, before it was revealed upon prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam).

As a result we can say that these books teaches people, that verses of Quran were first revealed upon Ali and his mother.

Hadith vs predetermined list of 12 names

السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته

If the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم) had really announced the names of the Twelve A’immah, why would there be such perplexity and confusion among the Shi’ite heretical sects almost after the death of each Imam? Beside this, we see in many ahâdîth in Twelver Shi’ite books that the evidence of Imamate is always (as far as I know) based on different signs (miracles, eldest, knowledge of unseen etc.) of the Imam instead of the hadîth which is supposedly said by the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم). What is the need of signs if there is authentic narration from the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم) announcing the 12 names? Surely, the A’immah would save their time just by narrating the hadîth of the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم) proving their Imamate, isn’t? Here are some ahâdîth from their books where the Imams prove their Imamate by anything except by pointing out the narration from the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم) who supposedly announced the names of the 12 A’immah.

Al-Kafi, vol. 1, page 307, and authenticated by Majlisi in “Mir’âh al-’Uqûl”, vol. 3, page 328:

7 – محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن ابن محبوب، عن هشام بن سالم، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) قال: سئل عن القائم (عليه السلام) فضرب بيده على أبي عبدالله (عليه السلام) فقال: هذا والله قائم آل محمد (صلى الله عليه وآله)، قال عنبسة: فلما قبض أبوجعفر (عليه السلام) دخلت على أبي عبدالله (عليه السلام) فأخبرته بذلك، فقال صدق جابر، ثم قال: لعلكم ترون أن ليس كل إمام هو القائم بعد الامام الذي كان قبله.
Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from Jabur ibn Yazid al-Ju‘fiy who has said the following. “A question was asked (from abu Ja‘far (alaihi salam) about al-Qa’im (the twelfth Imam (alaihi salam). He (abu Ja‘far) tapped (at the shoulder of) abu ‘Abdallah (alaihi salam) and said, “This, by Allah, is the Qa’im (one who will establish the kingdom of Allah) of the family of Muhammad (s.a.).” ‘Anbasa has said, “when abu Ja‘far passed away, went to see abu ‘Abdallah (alaihi salam) and told him of what I had heard (from Jabir). The Imam (alaihi salam) said, “Jabir has spoken the truth.” He then said, “You perhaps think that the every succeeding Imam after a preceding Imam is not al-Qa’im (also meaning the one who obeys and serves Allah).

Now, where the Imam points to a narration from the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم) where he supposedly announced already the list of the 12 A’immah?

Let us see other hadith:

Kulayni narrated in his “Kafi” (1/285-286), and authenticated by Majlisi in “Mir’âh al-’Uqûl”, vol. 3, page 208:

1 – علي بن إبراهيم، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس، عن الحسين بن ثوير بن أبي فاختة، عن أبى عبدالله (عليه السلام) قال: لا تعود الامامة في أخوين بعد الحسن والحسين أبدا، إنما جرت من علي بن الحسين كما قال الله تبارك وتعالى: ” واولو الارحام بعضهم
أولى ببعض في كتاب الله ” فلا تكون بعد علي بن الحسين (عليه السلام) إلا في الاعقاب وأعقاب الاعقاب.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from al-Husayn ibn Thuwayr ibn abu Fakhita from abu‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “Imamat (Leadership with Divine Authority) will never go to two brothers after al-Hassan and al-Husayn (a.s.). It has continued from Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) as Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High has said, “The relatives are closer to each other, according to the Book of God, . . .” (33:6) After Imam Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.) will only be found in the descendents one after the other.”

Here Abu Abdillah says that the Imamate will never again be in two brothers after al-Hasan and al-Husain. So after ‘Aliy bin Husain the Imamate will follow only one after the another (in stubs).  Strange isn’t? Why such a rule if there is already the pre-determined list of the Prophet (صلى الله تعالى عليه واله وسلم) announcing the names of all the Twelve Caliphs?

Another hadith again from “Kafi” (1/284), which authenticated by Majlisi in “Mir’âh al-’Uqûl”, vol. 3, page 204:

1 – محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن ابن أبي نصر قال: قلت لابي الحسن الرضا (عليه السلام): إذا مات الامام بم يعرف الذي بعده؟ فقال للامام علامات منها أن يكون أكبر ولد أبيه ويكون فيه الفضل والوصية، ويقدم الركب فيقول: إلى من أوصى فلان؟

Here basically Ibn Abi Nasr (companion of couple of Imams) asks Abi’l Hasan al-Ridha how the next Imam is known after the death of the previous Imam. Then the Imam mentions some signs like being the eldest son of his father, having virtue and will (wasiyyah). He says that the sword with us is like the tâbut of Bani Isra’il, meaning; the Imamate is with the sword with whoever it is found. Amazing! Imam didn’t say that Imam can be known very easily, because he has already named by prophet (sallalahu alaihi wa ala alihi wa sallam)! But why?! Shias always arguing that there is clear cut proof for imamate of specific 12 men. If there is such, wouldn’t that be easy for Imam, to say to his follower their names?

Note: “being the eldest son of his father” (أن يكون أكبر ولد أبيه) is a sign of Imâmate and we all know that Ismâ’il bin Ja’far was older than Musa bin Ja’far. Yet they have managed to invent this concept of “Bada’” as a solution to the problem.

Let us see another hadith from “Kafi”, which was authenticated by Majlisi and Bahbude:

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا حَدَثَ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ حَدَثٌ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ النَّاسُ قَالَ أَيْنَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَوْ لا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِنْهُمْ طائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا فِي الدِّينِ وَ لِيُنْذِرُوا قَوْمَهُمْ إِذا رَجَعُوا إِلَيْهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَحْذَرُونَ قَالَ هُمْفِي عُذْرٍ مَا دَامُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ وَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يَنْتَظِرُونَهُمْ فِي عُذْرٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَصْحَابُهُمْ
