Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) has not only introduced Imam Ali (a.s.) as the Imam of the people on
various occasions but also introduced the characteristics of Imam Ali (a.s.)’s
enemies. In this treatise we will look at few characteristics of enemies of
Imam Ali (a.s.) from the books of Ahle Sunnah.
1)
Illegitimate Birth
Ibne Abbas narrates from
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)that he (s.a.w.a.) addressed Hazrat Ali (a.s.) – No one
from Arab will hate you except that he is illegitimate by birth and no Ansar
will hate you except that he is a Jew and none from other people will hate you
except a wretched (Shaqi).
(Manaqeb-e-Khwarazmi,
pg. 323, HN 330)
Similarly, a tradition
is quoted by Ibne Asakir, he narrates from Saabit who narrates from Anas that
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) introduced Hazrat Ali (a.s.) on the day of the Khyber…O
people! Check your children with his love. Surely Ali will not call you towards
misguidance nor will he keep you away from guidance. Then one who loves him he
is from you and one who hates him does not belong to you.
Anas ibne Malik says:
After the batter of Kyber, a person carried his son on his shoulders and stood
on the path from where Ali was coming. When he saw Ali, he turned toward his
son and asked: O my son, whether you like the person coming (from the opposite
direction)? If the child replied in affirmative, he kissed him and if the reply
was negative. He use to throw down the child on the ground and say: Go and join
your mother… I am no need of a son who does not take Ali ibne Abi Taalib as
friend.
(Tarrekh-e-Demisqh,
Vol 42, pg 288, HN 888)
The above traditions
bring out the reality of the enemies of Imam Ali (a.s.)
2)
Hypocrisy
Hazrat Ali (a.s.) says:
Surely by the One who splits the seed and has created man in a best manner.
Surely the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)has promised me that none will love me except
a believer and none will hate me except a hypocrite.
Sahih Muslim,
vol 1, pg 120, HN 131, Kitabul Imaan HN 3736
Sunan-e-Tirmizi, vol 5,
pg 601, HN 3736
Musnad-e-Ahmad, vol 1,
pg 135, HN 643
Sunan ibne Majah, vol
1, pg 42, HN 114
Another tradition is
from Janabe Umme Salamah who narrates from Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that he
(s.a.w.a.) said: A hypocrite will never love Ali and a believer will never hate
Ali.
Sunan-e-Tirmizi,
vol 5, pg 549, HN 3717
Al Munsahif of Ibne Abi
Shaiba, vol 12, pg 77, HN 12163
Similarly, Janabe Abu
Zar-e-Ghaffari says: In the time of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) we recognized the
hypocrites by three ways – their denial of Allah and His Messenger, turning
away from prayers and hatred towards Ali ibne Abi Taalib.
Al Riyazu
Nazarah, vol 3, pg 167
Kanzul Ummal, vol 13, pg
106, HN 36346
Another companion of
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Abu Saeed Khudri narrates: We, the Ansar, recognized
the hypocrites by their enmity towards
Ali.
Sunan-e-Tirmizi,
vol 5, pg 593, HN 3717
3)
Morally depraved
Abu Saeed Khudri
narrates from Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.): None will hate Ali except a hypocrite or
morally depraved one (Faasiq) or a seeker of the world.
Tarrekh-e-Demisqh,
Vol 42, pg 285, HN 817
Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)
has not only guided us towards eternal success and happiness by introducing
Imam Ali (a.s.) but also unveiled the enemies of Imam Ali (a.s.). May Allah
include us among the servants of Ahle Bait (a.s.)
MAY ALLAH CURSE THE ENEMIES OF AMEERUL MUWAHEDEEN WA MOMENEEN HAZRAT
ALI (A.S.)
