PREFACE

Hadeese Manzelat is one of the famous tradition of Holy Prophet sallallaho

alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and is accepted by the scholars of Shias and Ahle
Sunnat also. Shia scholars with this tradition proves the rightful successorship
of Hazrate Ali Ibne Abi Talib alaihemussalam and also proves superiority of
Hazrat Ali Alaihissalam over other companions of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam. In this tradition position of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam in front
of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam is introduced same as
position of Janabe Haroon alaihissalam position in front of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam. In the eyes of Shia scholars this hadees is Mutawatir i.e narrated
continuously with reliable chain of narrators
Most famous version of this hadees is this that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam addressed to Ali alaihissalam and said:

“Your position in front of me is same as the position of Haroon in front of

Moosa except there will not be any prophet after me”
This tradition with different explanation and different wordings on different
occasions and places is narrated from Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi
wa sallam, for instance on occasion of making companions brothers of each
other first time (before migration), on occasion of making companions
brothers of each other second time i.e (five months after migration to Medina),
in the house of Janabe Umme Salma salamulLah Alaiha (wife of Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam), on the occasion of appointing guardian
for the daughters of Janabe Hamza alaihissalam, while shutting down every
bodies door to Masjide Nabavi,( Manaqibe Imam Ali by Ibne Maghazeli Page
255-257) and most Important while leaving for battel of Tabooq

AHLE SUNNAT SOURCES OF HADEES E MANZELAT

This valuable tradition has also been recorded in great Sunni sources of history,
traditions and dialogues (Musnade Ahmad Ibne Hambal Vol 1 Page 277, Vol 3
Page 417, Sahi Al Bokhari Vol 5 Page 129,Sunane Tirmazi Vol 5 Page 638, Al

some of the shia scholars like Meer Sayed Hamid Hussain Hindi in the book of
Abakatul Anwar has written book or books completely with sunni references
about hadeese Manzelat, Hakime Haskani from his teacher Abu Hazim Abdavi
has quoted that he has narrated Hadees e Mazelat with FIVE THOUSAND
chains,(Shawahedut Tanzeel by Haskani Vol 1 Page 195), in other sources
EIGHTY EIGHT peoples name were quoted as narrators for Hadees e Saqlain
( Nafhatul Izhaar Vol17 Page 23-28), people like Ibne TAIMIYYA in the book of
Minhajus Sunnatin Nabawiya Vol 7 Page 326, Abdul Haqq e Dahlavi, Ganjiye

Manzelat, Some of these narrators are mentioned in chronological order which
you can observe below

The Authenticity Of Hadith In The Eyes Of The Ahle Sunnat

Ibne Abdul Barr has considered this hadees as most authentic and most stable
(Al Istiaab Fi Marefatil Ashab Vol 3 Page 1097), in some of the sources ways of
narration of this hadees is considered in detail ( Al Istiaab Fi Marefatil Ashab
Vol 3 Page 1097, Translation of book Al Imam Ali Ibne Abi Talib Alaihissalam
min Taarikhe Madinate Damishq Vol 1 Page 306-391) Hakim e Nishapoori has
considered authenticity of this hadees as correct ( Al Mustadrake Hakime
Neeshapoori Vol 3 Page 134), Hafiz Zahbi (in the extract of Al Mustadrakus
Sahihain Vol 3 Page 134) has emphasized about the correctness of this
hadeeth, Ibne Abil Hadded has introduced it as the common denominator of
all Islamic sects (Sharhe Nahjul Balagha, Vol 13 Page 211)
Even opponents and friends of opponents of Hazrate Ameerul Momeneen
could not have courage to reject this hadees, and it has inevitably been
accepted and straw has been quoted unintentionally, as per Khatibe Baghdadi
Valeed Bin Abdul Malik Amavi also has accepted this hadees with a change of
the name Haroon to Qaroon (Tareekhe Baghdad Vol 8 Page 262). Mamoon e
Abbasi also while debating with Jurists has quoted this hadees (Al Okdul
Fareed by Ibne Abdul Barr Vol 5 Page 357-358). As per Khateebe Baghdadi on
the basis of this hadees Umar has considered a person who was giving bad
words to Hazrate Ameerul Momeneen as TRANSGRASSOR (Tareekhe Baghdad
Vol 8 Page 498)
Moawiya (LanatulLah Alaih) also has not denied Hadeese Manzelat, he asked
Saad IBNE Abi Waqqas , who was deadly enemy of Hazrate Ameerul
Momeneen alaihissalam, why you are not giving bad words to Ali Ibne Abi
Talib, he said because of three virtues which Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam has said about him, and then Saad has narrated those three
virtues and one of them was Hadees e Manzelat and Moawiya (Lanatullah
alaih) because of mention of Saad bin Waqqas stopped giving bad words to
Hazrate Ameerul Momeneen alaihissalam ( Osadul Ghaba by Ibne Atheer Vol
4 Page 104-105, Yanabeeul Mawadda le zavil Qurba, by Sulaimane Qundoozi
Vol 1 Page 161, Al MORAJEAAT by Sharafuddin Page 132-133)
Zaid Ibne Arqam is one of the companion among companions who have
narrated Hadees e Manzelat, he added himself in his report that moment Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam kept Ameerul Momeneen Ali
alaihissalam at his place in Medina people have wrongly thought that Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam is not happy with Ali alaihissalam,
moment this thought of people reached to Ali alaihissalam he clarified from
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and in reply to him Hazrat
has quoted this Hadees e Manzelat (Majmauzzawaed wa Mambaul Fawaed by
Haithami Vol 9 Page 111)
Hakim Neeshapoori has considered this Hadees as correct and has narrated
from Ibne ABBAS that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said
this hadees in Battle of Tabooq, Ibne Abbas also narrates that Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam then said to Ali alaihissalam that it is not
feasible that I go except you be my successor and also said “From me you are
guardian for every believer men and women” ( Mustadrake Hakim e
Nishapoori Vol 3 Page 134, Musnade Ahmad Ibne Hambal VOL 1 Page 545, Al
Bedaya wan Nehaya by Ibne Katheer Vol 7 Page 351, For second part of the
narration of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam refer Sunan e
Nesaee Page 64, Tareekh e Tabari by Mohammaed Ibne Jorair e Tabari Vol 3

with Doctor Moosa Al Moosavi in the book of As Shia Wat Tasheeh Page 82-
87)

DOUBTS ON HADEESE MANZELAT

Some of the learned scholars of Ahle Sunnat have doubted in the authenticity
of Hadeese MANZELAT and some of them have considered it as the tradition
reported by single person not with continuous chain of narrators (Al Imamah
min Abkaril Afkar Fi Usulid Deen by Amodi Page 167), Shia scholars in reply
says that without any doubt not only it is beneficial but also narrated
continuously and as per the narrators it is “The healthiest following of
Prophet’s way and proves the effect”, and hence Zahbi one of the important
scholar in his book of TALKHEESUL MUSTEDRAK has testified the authenticity
of tradition(Talkheesul Mustadrak Vol 3 Page 134), if this tradition is not
correct on the basis of scholars of Ahle Sunnat than would have not narrated in
Sahi Al Bokhari and Sahi AL Muslim. More over Moawiya (Lanatullah Alaih)
who is staunch enemy of Hazrate Ammerul Momeneen alaihissalam has not
only could not rejected this tradition but also narrated the tradition (As
Swaequl Mohreqa fir Radde Ala Ahlal Bide Waz Zindeqah Page 179)

HADEESE MANZELAT IS PROOF OF HAZRATE ALI

ALAIHISSALAMES SUCCESSORSHIP AND SUPERIORITY
Moreover, this hadees is clear proof on superiority, successorship and
infallibility of Hazrat Ali Alaihissalam because in this tradition Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aale hi wa sallam has proved all attribute and position of
Hazrate Haroon Alaihissalam to Hazrate Ali Alaihissalam except prophet hood.
As per verses of Quran Hazrate Moosa alaihissalam asked from Allah
subhanahu wa taala about his brother Haroon Ministry in the masengership so
that he can help him (Surae Taha verse no 29-32), and Allah subhanahu wa
taala accepted the request of Janabe Moosa , and Janabe Haroon alaihissalam
was his successor in his absence (Surae Taha Verse no 36) hence all rights
which Janabe Moosa gave to Janabe Haroon is applicable for Hazrate Ali
Alaihissalam in absence of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
and if Janabe Haroon alaihissalam would have been alive after Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam would have been his successor (as per Yahoodies he died forty
years before Hazrate Moosa alaihissalam) In third chapter of this book proves
regarding successorship of Ali alaihissalam of Holy Prophet will be discussed .

CLAIMING SUCCESSOR SHIP ON THE BASIS OF TABOOK

INCIDENCE
Some of the Sunni scholars like Ibne Tamiya has considered this tradition valid
only for Battle of Tabook (Minhajus sunnatun nabawiyah Vol 7 Page 322),
some have narrowed the circle and said that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam has made Ali alaihissalam his successor only in the city of
Medina or among his family, they have said” Accepting the authenticity of
Hadees e Manzelat does not mean that accepting position of prophet for Ali
except prophet hood , but the appearance of hadith indicates that Ali was
successor of prophet only in his absence and his going to Tabook that also only
for the family of prophet he was successor and caliph of prophet like Haroon
was in absence of Moosa”
In reply of this claim there are two points which can be said:
FIRST POINT: Many of Sunni scholars does not limit this hadees only for Battle
of Tabook but believe that Holy Prophet has said this hadees on other
occasions also. Ibne Abil Hadeed in favour of successor ship of Ali alaihissalam
has brought verses of Quran and prophetic traditions and said that all positions
of Janabe Haroon were for Ali alaihissalam, if Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam would have not been the last prophet Hazrat Ali alaihissalam
would have been prophet after him,(Sarhe Nahjul Balagha by Ibne Abil
Hadded Vol 13 Page 211), also said that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam has kept the names of the Hasan and Husain alaihemussalam,
children of Ali alaihissalam and said that I have kept their names on the names
of children of Haroon alaihissalam SHABAR O SHOBAIR (Musnade Ahmad Ibne
Hambal Vol 1 Page 158, Mustadrake Hakime Nishapoori Vol 3 Page
168,Kanzul Ummale Muttaqie Hindi Vol 12 Page 117-118)
SECOND POINT: Companions of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam also took the generality of position from this tradition, e.g. when Jabir
Ibne Abdullahe Ansari was asked about Hadeese Manzelat in he said “Holy
Prophet with this hadees appointed Ali alaihissalam as his successor for his
followers in his life and after the death of him and his obedience upon you has
been made compulsory ( Maaniyul Akhbar by Ibne Babwaih Page 74)

CLAIMING TO ASSIGN A SUCCESSOR TO THE LIFE OF HOLY

PROPHET SALLALLAHO ALAIHE WA AALEHI WA SALLAM
Some of the Sunni Scholars have said: Janabe Haroon was successor of Janabe
Moosa in the life period of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam only because he expired
in the life of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam only, then it is possible that Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam has appointed Ali alaihissalam
successor for life time only because of this Hadeese Manzelat cannot be
considered as appointment of successor after the demise of Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam (Qazi Abdul Jabbar in the book of Al
Mogni Vol 10 Type I Page 159-160, Mir Hamid Hussain Book of Abaqatul
Anwar Vol 2 Page 86)
Shia Scholars have replied him in two ways:
FIRST: The word exception (There will not be any prophet after me) makes
clear that all of this is true for Ali alaihissalam except prophecy during his
lifetime and after the death of the Messenger of Allah also, as per the saying of
Allama Tabarsi alaihirrahmah narrators of this tradition are all of this opinion
that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam has appointed Ali
alaihissalam as successor at the time of Battle of Tabook in Medina and did not
dismiss him but the position continued after that i.e even after the demise of
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam (Asrarul Imamah Page 252)
SECOND: Janabe Haroon did not remain after Janabe Moosa to have the claim
of successor after Janabe Moosa alaihissalam, if Janabe Haroon alaihissalam
would have been alive after Janabe Moosa alaihissalam definitely he would
have been successor of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam because successorship was
announced for him. Hazrat Ali alaihissalam also was appointed as per tradition
for successorship of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and he
should be considered as successor even after the demise of Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam.
ALI ALAIHISSALAM’S POSITION IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF
HAROON AFTER THE DEATH OF HOLY PROPHET SALLALLAHO
ALAIHE WA AALEHI WA SALLAM AND THE ABSENCE OF
MOOSA ALAIHISSALAM:
Janabe Haroon alaihissalam in the time of prophet hood of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam but people were cheated by Samarri and they became cow
worshipper, and nobody was found to help Haroon as should have been and
Haroon became inevitable in between his nation as result remained patient.
Hadees e Manzelat explains all this happening for Hazrate Ali alaihissalam.
Imam Ali alaihissalam became successor in the life of Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, and similarity of Imam Ali alaihissalam with Haroon
focuses on these things and not on before death or after death matters.
Whatever regarding the text of hadees is seen continuously, keeping in mind
the text of hadees and circumstances occurred in issuing hadees six groups
have been formed. The sixth group has been assigned to various events that
were repeated in the whole of this volume . Meer Hamid Husain has narrated
tradition from all sixty six narrators that narrations of all recent narrators were
same repetition of older narrators as narrating them will be repitation hence
keeping in mind comprehensiveness of this book narration of older narrators
were found sufficient
Hope, this volume of the brief collection of the book of Abaqatul Anwar
Hadees e Manzelat done by Ayatullah Sayed Ali Hussaine Meelani and
translated by Mohammad Baqar who is loved by the hearts will be published
by Naba Publisher.

 CHAPTER TWO
CONTAINT OF TRADITION
This section is dedicated to different narrations of this tradition and the
thematic narrations are organized in the form of a narration. Tradition is
Quoted in Six ways or Quotes. The sixth category is dedicated to the rare cases
that refer to various context of saying the tradition from the narration of Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam.

FIRST TYPE OF NARRATION:

In this type of narration is while Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa

sallam was going for Battle of Tabook but this time unlike previous battles was
leaving Hazrate Ali Alaihissalam in Medina and not taking him with himself and
when Hazrat Ali Alaihissalam asked the reason Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam told him Hadees e Manzelat. This particular fact has been
addressed in two ways, first way is narrated in this way that Hazrate Ali
alaihissalam has asked from Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
that are you leaving me behind in between women and children?, in reply to it
Hazrat has said Hadees e Mnzelat. And in the second way of saying Hadees is in
this way that leaving behind of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam in Medina started talk in
between people , some of them were saying that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam is not happy with Hazrat Ali alaihissalam that is why
leaving him behind, some will say that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi
wa sallam has become angry from the talk of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam that is why
did not taken him with himself. Yet another group will say because of Ali’s love
towards this world he was left at Medina. At te end all this are narrated from
Ahle Sunnat sources.
SOURCES OF FIRST TYPE OF QUOTE:

Narration Of Abu Dawood E Tayalesi:

Abu Dawood with his own authority narrates from Saad Ibne Abi Waqqas that
“ In the Battle Of Tabook Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
appointed Hazrat Ali alaihissalam as his successor, Hazrate Ali alaihissalam has
asked from Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam that are you
leaving me behind in between women and children?, Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam replied him “Are you not satisfied that your position
in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam except that there is no prophet after me”

Narration Of Ibne Saad :

Ibne Saad in his own book of TABAQAT kept one chapter specially for this topic
that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said to Ali alaihissalam.
Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon
was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there is no
prophet after me
He in this chapter narrated many narrations from many sources among them
are the narration we narrate as under:

He narrates the tradition with the chain of Abdullah Ibne Raqeem that he said
that I have entered, Medina and ate with Saad Bin Malik said: Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam left for Battle of Tabook and kept Hazrat
Ali alaihissalam as his successor, Hazrat Ali alaihissalam told to Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam that O Holy Prophet are you going and
leaving me hear, he alaihissalam said “Are you not satisfied that your position
in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam except that there is no prophet after me” (At Tabaqatul Kubra by
Ibne Saad Vol 3 Page 23)

He (Ibne Saad) also narrates from Saeed Bin Mosayyab from Saad Bin Malik
that he said: If you don’t mind I may ask from you about a tradition but I am
fearing to ask you, he said, don’t fear if you feel I know about it do ask and
don’t be freightend. I asked what Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam said about Hazrat Ali alaihissalam when he left for Battle of Tabook and
kept Hazrate Ali alaihissalam in Medina as successor? he replied, Hazrat Ali
alaihissalam said: whether you are leaving me behind with the remaining
people, children and women’s in Medina. Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam replied “Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is
same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa” by listening this
Hazrat Ali alaihissalam returned back very fast such that dust was his feet was
seen shinning, Hammad said: so Ali returned quickly “ (At Tabaqatul Kubra by
Ibne Saad Vol 3 Page 23)
NARRATION OF AHMAD IBNE HAMBAL:

Ahmad Ibne Hambal has quoted this narration with two texts
He with his own authority narrated from Musaab Bin Saad Bin Abi Waqqas that
he said” Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam appointed Hazrat
Ali alaihissalam as his successor, Hazrat Ali alaihissalam told him are you
leaving me behind with ladies and children for which Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam replied “Are you not satisfied that your position in
front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam except that there is no prophet after me”(Musnade Ahmad Ibne
Hambal Vol 1 Page 298)

He with his own authority narrated from Aysha Binte Saad that her father
said” Hazrat Ali alaihissalam went with Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi
wa sallam till TAMBIHUL WADA (It is the name of detour overlooking Medina
from which travelers pass through Mecca, Marasedul Ittela Vol 1 Page 301 by
Ibne Shubbah)while he was crying and saying are you leaving me behind with
left over people in Medina for which Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi
wa sallam replied “Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is same
as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except
that there is no prophet after me” ”(Musnade Ahmad Ibne Hambal Vol 1 Page
284)

NARRATION OF NESAEE:

He with his own authority narrated from Saeed Bin Musayyab from Saad said
” While Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam left Medina for
Battle of Tabook Hazrat Ali alaihissalam went behind him while he was crying
and saying are you leaving me behind with left over people in Medina for
which Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam replied “Are you not
satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in
front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there is no prophet after me”

said” Hazrat Ali alaihissalam went with Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi
wa sallam till TAMBIHUL WADA and other people reached to Battle of Tabook
while he was crying and saying are you leaving me behind with left over people
in Medina for which Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam replied
“Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon
was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there is no
prophet after me”

He has also narrated the tradition from the chain of Jabir (RahmatulLah alaih)

satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in
front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there is no prophet after me”

SOURCES OF FIRST TYPE OF QUOTE:

NARRATION BY MOHAMMAD BIN ISHAQ:

Ibne Hesham in his own book narrates from the chain of Ibne Ishaq that when
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam moved from Medina for
Battle of Tabook, Abdullah Ibne Obay with the group of transgressors and
people who were in doubts and rejected refused to march from Medina. Holy
Prophet Sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam appointed Hazrat Ali alaihissalam
as successor for his family and ordered be a side of them, transgressors
provoked sedition and said: Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
left Ali only because Ali is very much after this world and Hazrat has considered
him unimportant
When transgressors said like this Hazrate Ali alaihissalam took out his weapons
and went to JOROF where Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
had stopped and said “O Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
transgressors are saying you have left me in Medina because I am after this
world and wanted to insult me, Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam said they are saying lie, nay I have appointed you as my successor then
you go back and be my successor for my family and your family” Are you not
satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in
front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there is no prophet after me”
that moment Hazrat Ali alaihissalam went back to Medina and Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam continued his journey (As Seeratun
Nabawiyyah by Ibne Hesham Vol 2Page 519-520)

“Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam went for Battle of Tabook
and kept Ali alaihissalam as successor for his family, some of the people said:
Holy Prophet left Ali in Medina only because he alaihissalam did not like the
way of talking of Ali, this talk reached to Ali and he referred to Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, Hazrat replied “O the son of Abu Talib
Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon
was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam” (At Tabaqatul Kubra by

“Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam went to Battle of Tabook
and kept Hazrat Ali alaihissalam at Medina in his place about which others

by listening this Hazrat Ali alaihissalam immediately went to Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and said: O Prophet you left me with
children and ladies and because of which people are saying that you were not
happy with me hence thought not to take me with yourself, Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam told him” O Ali it is not only that I have
left you to take care of my family but Are you not satisfied that your position in
front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam except that there will not be any prophet after me” (Al Khasaes

from previous narration and it is like this that “ Holy Prophet on his camel went
for Battle of Tabook and left Ali at his place , Ali came in front of camel cried
and told, O Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam Quraish are
saying that you left me behind because you found me very difficult to take with
you and that you don’t like my company. Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam in front of all shouted and said “non from you except I am
satisfied with him the son of Abu Talib Are you not satisfied that your position
in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa
alaihissalam”, Ali alaihissalam said “I am satisfied with Allah and his

remain hear, and kept Ali alaihissalam in Medina. Some people started saying
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam has not kept Ali in Medina
but because of the actions of him which Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam did not liked, this talk has reached to Ali alaihissalam, he
came to messenger of Allah and made him aware, Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam laughed and said: “O Ali Are you not satisfied that
your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of
Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there will not be any prophet after me”
(Al Moajamul Kabir By Tibrani Vol 5 Page 203)

NARRATION BY IBNE ASAKAR:

He with his own authority narrates from Saeed Bin Mosayyab that he said:
Through Saad Ibne Abi Waqqas, I heard him saying “Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam went to Battle of Tabook and kept Hazrat Ali
alaihissalam at Medina in his place about which others have said from him
Hazrat was not happy and hence thought not to take him: this talk reached to
Hazrat Ali alaihissalam which was very difficult for him immediately went to
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and said: O Prophet you left
me with children and ladies and because of which people are saying that you
were not happy with me hence thought not to take me with yourself, Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam told him” O Ali Are you not
satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in
front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam?”
(This narration Ibne Asakar has narrated with some other chain also)
Ibne Asakar narrated this tradition in different text he this time with his own
authority narrates from the chain of Abu Saeed e Khuzri that “Messenger Of
Allah sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said to Ali alaihissalam in the Battle
Of Tabook that be a successor of me in my family, Hazrat Ali alaihissalam said:
O Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam I don’t like that Arabs may
say that Ali did not went for help to his cousin brother and remained away to
accompany him, Hazrat said did you not like that your position in my eyes is
same as Haroon’s position in the eyes of Moosa?,Ali alaihissalam said Yes,
again Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa ale hi wa sallam said: Be my successor”
He has also narrated this narration from the chain of ABUT TOFAIL one of the
companion of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and its text is
slightly different from previous narrations , narrates that : As soon as Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi w sallam came out for Battle of Tabook kept
Hazrate Ali alaihissalam in Medina as his successor, Transgressors in Medina
became upset and said Holy Prophet did not liked his company and felt bad
about him, This matter came to Ali which he felt very bad and said: O Prophet
you left me with children and ladies I seek shelter of Allah and His messenger
against their displeasure Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
said:”O father of Hasan Allah is happy with you with my happiness certainly
Allah is satisfied with because your position in front me is same as Janabe
Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except that there is
no prophet after me Ali alaihissalam said I am satisfied I am satisfied”

Ibne Asakar with his own authority narrates with the chain of Zaid Ibne Arqam
that he said: “Moment Holy Prophet gave order for JAISHUL USRA told to Ali
alaihissalam it is must that either you be in Medina or I should remain, and
kept Ali alaihissalam in Medina as his successor and left, people started saying
Holy Prophet did not like his company and felt bad about him, this matter
came to Ali which he felt very bad and went behind him till reached to Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, Hazrat asked O Ali what has
brought you hear , Ali alaihissalam said O messenger of Allah people think that
because you were not happy with me that is why you left me in place of you,
Hazrat smiled and said: ” O Ali Are you not satisfied that your position in front
me is same as Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam
except this that you are not prophet?”. Hazrat Ali alaihissalam said Yes, Yes O
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, Hazrat said “Know that it is
like that”

NARRATION OF MOHIBBUDDINE TABRI:

He has narrated this tradition from the book of SEERAE IBNE ISHAQ, he in this
book writes that: as soon as Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
reached JUROF, some transgressors slandered and said about the ruler of Ali
alaihissalam: Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam only replaced
himself for the sake of bearing Ali difficult with himself ,Ali alaihissalam took
his arms on his shoulders and reached to JUROF and said O Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam , before this I had never been in your
place in any of battles but a group of transgressors think that you have kept me
in Medina because you were finding myself difficult to bear and hence kept me
in your place, Hazrat said” they are saying lie, I have put you in my place
because of what I have behind me, go back and be there and be with my family
in place of me, Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is same as
Janabe Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except this
that no prophet is there after me”.( ZAKHAERUL OKBA FI MANAQEBE ZAWIL
QURBA BY MOHIBBUDDINE TABARI PAGE 63)

SECOND TYPE OF NARRATIONS:

This type of narrations are related to Covenant of brotherhood, while Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam was making brotherhood among
Ansars (helpers, inhabitants of Medina) and Mohajereen (those who migrated
from Mecca), took Ali alaihissalam as his own brother and said “Your position
in front of me is same as Haroon’s position in front of Moosa”, we will be
narrating traditions in this regard:

NARRATION OF TIBRANI:

He with his own authority narrates from Mujahid who narrates from Ibne
Abbas that “while Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam was
making contractual brotherhood among Ansar and Mohajereen did not select
any one for Ali alaihissalam, Ali alaihissalam became worried and went out and
lied down----- Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam asked about
him and reached to Ali alaihissalam hit on his feet and said:” Get up, ther is no
title other than Abu Turab which beautifies you, are you angry upon me that
while making Ansars and Mohajereen brothers did not select any one for
you ?, Are you not satisfied that your position in front me is same as Janabe
Haroon was having in front of Janabe Moosa alaihissalam except this that you
are not prophet? Now, anyone who loves you will get safety and faith, and
anyone who keeps enmity with you Allah will kill him to the death of ignorance
and his actions are accounted for in Islam” (AL MOJAMUL KABIR BY TIBRANI
VOL 11 PAGE 62, AL MOJAMUL AWSAT VOL 8 PAGE 435)

THIRD TYPE OF NARRATIONS

This type of narrations were related to closing of doors of Ansars and
Mohajereen opened to Masjide Nabavi, In a Khutba Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said that position of Ali alaihissalam in front of him
is same as position of Haroon to Moosa alaihissalam, this has got another way
of narrations which Abuzar and Umme Salma alaihemussalam narrated

NARRATION OF IBNE ASAAKAR:

He narrates from Abu Rafe that Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam has recited a sermon for people:
“O people Allah subhanahu wa taala has ordered Moosa and Haroon to
prepare their house for resting their nation and order them not sleep in the
mosque in the condition of jenabat and don’t get near to their wives except
Haroon and his children, and it is not permitted for anyone that in this mosque
(Masjide Nabavi) to sleep in the condition of jenabat except Ali alaihissalam
and his family”
Ibne Asakar has also narrated this tradition from Jabir Ibne Abdullah e Ansari
with different text that “ while we were resting in the mosque , Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam came in while he was having a branch of
date tree in his hand and hit to us and said, are you people sleeping in the
mosque, actually nobody is allowed to sleep in the mosque, I and Ali both
became frightened, Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said ,
come O Ali whatever is Halal (permitted) for me in the mosque is also
permitted for you, are you not satisfied that your position in front of me is
same as Haroon’s position was in front of Moosa except that there will be no
prophet after me”
He with his own authority reports from Umme Salma that” Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa ale hi wa sallam came out from house and reach to the
Masjid e Nabavi and shouted loudly, It is not permitted to be in this mosque
while any one is the condition of junub or mensuration, except for Mohammad
sallallaho alaihe wa ale hi wa sallam and his wives, Ali and Fatima (daughter of
prophet) (took names for them) so that they may not get deviated”

FOURTH TYPE OF NARRATIONS

In this type of narration of Hadeese Manzelat Saad Ibne Abi Waqqas has
narrated narrations on the superiority of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam from Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam that one of the superiority of
Hazrat Ali alaihissalam among all others is Hadees e Manzelat, narrations were
narrated in many of the books of Ahle Sunnat for the sake of lengthiness we
are avoiding the narrations of all those narrations but mentioning few names
of the books

you giving bad words for a man about whom I have heard Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam mentioning three qualities for him that
even one of him I would have got would have been better than this world and
whatever is in it, I have heard Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam saying that “To whomsoever I am master Ali is also master for him”,
then I have heard messenger saying that “your position (o Ali) in front of me is
same as Haroon’s position in front of Moosa except that there will be no

whom I have heard Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
mentioning three qualities for him that even one of him I would have got
would have been better than this world and whatever is in it, I have heard
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam saying that “To whomsoever

prophet loves” ( SUNANE IBNE MAAJA BY IBNE MAAJA VOL 1 PAGE 45)
NARRATION BY NESAAI :

Nesaai narrates from Aamir bin Saad who narrates from his father Saad Ibne
Abi Waqqas that Moawiya asked Saad: what has stopped you saying bad words
to Ali Ibne Abi Talib, Saad said: I don’t give him bad words because I heard
from messenger of Allah three things out of which if one of them I would have
would have precious for me then having Red-haired camel. Idont give bad
words to him because I recollect that about Ali, his two children and Fatima
revelation came when they were covered under a cloth and prophet said “O
my Allah they are my household and progeny”
I don’t give bad words to him because it is said that Holy Prophet while going
for Battle of Tabook kept him as his successor, Ali told Prophet you are leaving
me among ladies and children and Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam replied him, “Are you not satisfied that your position (o Ali) in front of
me is same as Haroon’s position in front of Moosa except that there will be no
prophet after me”,
I don’t give him bad words because I remember that on the day of Khaibar
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said: “tomorrow I will give
flag in the hand of one whom God and his messenger gave victory to him”
(AL KHASAES BY NESAAI PAGE 73)

Jurair e Tabari who narrated from Saad who says that I have heard three
distinct qualities of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam from Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam among that if one I would have been dearer to me than
what I have in this world, I heard that Hazrat said “your position (o Ali) in front
of me is same as Haroon’s position in front of Moosa except that there will be
no prophet after me”,I have heard that “tomorrow I will give flag in the hand
of one who loves Allah and his messenger and Allah and his messenger loves
him and he never runs away (from Battle)” I have also heard that “to whom so

those things on which sun shines, I, Abu Obadiah, Abu Bakr and group of
companions of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam were

SIXTH TYPE OF NARRATION

This quote from the hadith e Manzelat is dedicated due to the low number if
repetition issued about this hadith. It cannot be categorized in the form of an
independent quote. Among these cases, we can mention these three cases
This narration is narrated from Fatima daughter of Ali alaihissalam, this
narration that Ali alaihissalam is from the existence of prophet, and the story
of guardianship of the daughter of Janabe Hamza, the General of the Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, is that you will see them later.

NARRATION OF AHMAD BIN HAMBAL:

He with chain of Moosa Al Johni narrates in his book of Musnad in this way: we
reached to Fatima the daughter of Ali, my friend Abu Mehdi asked: how old are
you ?, she said I am eighty six, he said what you have heard from your father?
She said : Asma the daughter of Omais told me that Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam told Hazrat Ali alaihissalam “your position in front
of me is same as position of Haroon in front of Moosa except that there is no
prophet after me”
(MUSNADE AHMAD BIN HAMBAL BY AHMAD BIN HAMBAL VOL 7 PAGE 513)

NARRATION BY NESAI:

Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam told Hazrat Ali alaihissalam “your
position in front of me is same as position of Haroon in front of Moosa except
that there is no prophet after me”
(ALKHASAES BY NESAI PAGE 78-79)

NARRATION BY IBNE ASAAKAR:

He narrates with the chain of Ibne Abbas and he from Umme Salma that Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said to her “O Umme Salma flush
of Ali is from my flush, and his blood is my blood and his position in front of me
is same as position of Haroon in front of Moosa except that there is no prophet
after me”
(TAREEKHE MADINAE DAMISHQ BY IBNE ASAKAR VOL 42)

He with the chain of Ismaeel Bin Abdullah Bin Jafer Tayyar narrates that he
said: when daughter of Janabe Hamza came to Medina Al, Jafer and Zaid were
having dispute that who should be guardian of her, Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said: tell them dispute in this regard needs
clarification, Zaid said : she is daughter of my brother ,hence I am more eligible
for her guardianship, Ali said: she is daughter of my uncle, and I have brought
her, Jafer said: she is daughter of my uncle, and her aunt is with me hence I am
more eligible for her guardianship-------, Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam said: “ I judge in between you all and said: “you O zaid is male
servant of me and Iam your owner, and you O jafer is similar to me in the
creation and ethics and you O Ali your position in front of me is same as
position of Haroon in front of Moosa except that there is no prophet after me”
(TAREEKHE MADINAE DAMISHQ BY IBNE ASAKAR VOL 42)
 MEANING OF HADITHE MANZELAT
Mir Hamid Hussain Hindi in the chapter of meaning of Hadis e Manzelat of this
volume proves Imamat of Hazrate Ameerul Momeneen Ali Ibne Abi Talib
alaihissalam without any one in between after the Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and successor ship of messenger of Allah in all
affairs of him except the prophet hood in detail. Also at some places replied
the objections of the enemies, and with this the discussion of Hadeese
Manzelat specially becomes very fruit full. In the following meaning of this
valuable hadith are briefly discussed.

OBEYING OF HAZRAT ALI ALAIHISSALAM BECOMES COMPULSORY:

Janabe Haroon Alaihis salam’s obedience became obligatory in the life of

Hazrate Moosa alaihissalam, in the same way obedience of Hazrat ALI
Alaihissalam becomes obligatory in the life of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam. The proof of this is proved in several ways by the Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam to prove successor ship of Ali
alaihissalam.
FIRST: We consider his obedience compulsory in the life of Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, and his successor ship after the demise of
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam. And to place him among
the subjects and followers is against consensus.
SECOND: No wise man would approve of such a thing that Hazrat ALI
Alaihissalam was the one whose obedience in the life of Holy Prophet
sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam was obligatory, but after demise of
messenger of Allah he should be included in the group of followers and those
who are obedient.
THIRD: Hazrat Ali alaihissalam like Janabe Haroon was completely obligatory to
be obeyed for the entire nation even obedience of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam was
obligatory on those three people (1st, 2nd and 3rd caliphs) also. Therefore , the
necessity of believing in the Imamate and not having caliphate after the
demise of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, appointing those
three people as caliph requires turning the issue around and turning it ups and
down legitimately.
IMAMAT AND SUCCESSOR SHIP OF HAZRAT ALI ALAIHISSALAM:

Hazrate Moosa alaihissalam handed over his Imamat and caliphate and all
other works related to successor ship to Hazrate Haroon alaihissalam, and
made obligatory on all Bani Israeel his obedience compulsory and disobedience
and opposition of him was considered unlawful (Haram). This matter has been
narrated and considered very important by those writers of life history of
prophets and other scholars

For example, we narrate from the book of ALMELAL WAN NEHAL OF

Shehrastani as under:
It is said “Hazrat e Moosa alaihissalam revealed his proves of prophet hood like
Secrets of Taurah etc. to Janabe Yuoosha bin Naun as he was successor and
prophet after Janabe Moosa and these things were in sharing between Janabe
Moosa and Haroon as Quran says WA ASHRIKHO FI AMRI (SURAE TAHA AYAT
32) and he was successor and when Janabe Haroon died in the life of Janabe
Moosa successor ship shifted to Janabe Yuoosha till it reached to two children
of Janabe Haroon Shubbar and Shubair, because some successor ship and
Imamate are stable and some are deposits. Jews have got this believe that
Shariat is only one which started and ended with Moosa alaihissalam, before
him there was no shariat but some reasonable sets of laws as a total they are
not in agreement of abrogation of shariat”
(AL MELAL WAN NEHAL BY SHAHRASTAN VOL 1 PAGE 210-211)
We get some benefits from the talk of Shaherstani
Hazrat e Moosa informed to Janabe Yuoosha about the secrets of Taurah till it
reaches to children of Janabe Haroon, then it is clear that informing about
secrets is the thing which was ultimate and in the considerations of Janabe
Moosa alaihissalam, Janabe Haroon was assign this secrets and because of this
reason children of Janabe Haroon were assigned.
Reason of assigning has been explained because they both were associated to
each other in the affair of prophet hood and messenger ship as Quran says
” WA ASHRIKHO FI AMRI”
Hazrat e Haroon was himself successor of Hazrat e Moosa and every Muslim
knows that successor ship of Infallible Prophets dies not gets over after passing
away of the Prophet
Since Janabe Haroon died in the life of Janabe Moosa successor ship of Janabe
Moosa as a trust to Janabe Yuoosha but actually the correct successors were
children of Janabe Haroon
Successor ship of Janabe Yuoosha was actually for reaching to those two
children of Janabe Haroon, and this is another reason that actual successor
was Janabe Haroon only
In view of above whatever is said it can be concluded that with the successor
ship of Hazrate Ameerul Momeneen alaihissalam his superiority is proved
Hadeese Mnzelat is Hadeese Qudsi (words of Allah other than Quran) which
was revealed on the occasion of births of Husnain alaihemussalam
This tradition has been brought by Jibraeel on the occasion of birth of Hazrate
Imam Hasan and Imam HUSSAIN Alaihemussalam.
This news has been narrated by many of earlier scholars of Ahle Sunnat some
of them are Abdul Malik bin Mohammad Waez e Khargoshi, Ahmad bin
Abdullah Mohibbe Tabari, H ussain Bin Mohammad Deyar Bakri, Shahabuddin
Bin Shamsuddin Daulatabadi that for keeping the names of the children
(Husnain alaihemussalam) Ali alaihissalam requested Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and Holy Prophet requested Allah subhanahu wa
taala and Jibraeel came every time with the message from Allah that “------ say
to him that Ali’s position in front of prophet is same as Haroon’s position in
front of Moosa then keep the name of him the name of children of Haroon,
Jibraeel came down gave congratulations from Allah and said keep the name of
children of Haroon for the first son which is SHUBBAR and its equivalent in
Arabic is Hasan and for the second son as SHOBAIR and its equivalent is
Hussain” (HEDAYATUS SOADA BY DAULATA BADIE HINDI VOL 9 PAGE 16)

HADEES E MANZELAT IS PROOF OF INFALLIBILITY OF HAZRAT ALI AS JANABE

HAROON WAS INFALLIBLE:

There does not exist any document which rejects infallibility of Janabe Haroon
and in the same way there is no doubt in infallibility of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam,
in other way it is crystal clear that Khelafat and Imamat cannot be established
by other than infallible, then Hazrate Ali alaihissalam was successor after Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, hence by the order of Hadeese
Manzelat and similarity between Ameerul momeneen and Janabe Haroon and
to get convinced themselves scholars take the support of Ayat “UKHLUFNI FI
QAUMI WA ASLEH”(SYRAE AARAF AYAT 142).”
SIMILARITY BETWEEN HAZRAT ALI ALAIHISSALAM AND JANABE HAROON
ALAIHISSALAM IN STAYING MOSQUE:

It has come in the tradition that” Hazrate Moosa alaihissalam ordered that
except Haroon for no one it is permitted to stay in the mosque, and Ali’s
position in front of me is same as Haroon position in front of Moosa then
except Ali no one is permitted to stay in the mosque”
This matter has come in the lengthy tradition from Holy Prophet in which
Hazrat has ordered to close the doors of Abu-Bakr o Umar o Usman and others
opening to Masjid e Nabavi and told to Hazrat Ali alaihissalam “It is purified,
keep quiet”. This has become cause of jealousy of some people with Ali
alaihissalam, then Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam stood up
and said----------- this hadees has been narrated in previous pages
Mir Hamid Hussain for better clarity of this hadees has narrated once again
from Ibne Maghazeli:” This became cause of jealousy of some people with Ali
alaihissalam, they felt themselves insulted and superiority of Ali Alaihissalam
upon themselves and on other companions became evident. This news
reached to Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam Hazrat stood up
and gave a sermon, people are thinking bad about me that How I have
permitted Ali to stay in the mosque, By Allah I have not taken you out and
allowed him to stay. Allah subhanahu wa taala has sent revelation to Janabe
Moosa and Haroon alaihemussalam “and I revealed to Moosa and his brother
(Haroon) that you two persons should arrange houses in Egypt for the people
of your nation and phase them to each other and established prayer”
Allah has ordered Janabe Moosa alaihissalam that don’t be in your own
mosque, and don’t keep marriage ceremony in the mosque and except Haroon
and his children nobody should enter in that.
Ali’s position in front me is same as Haroon’s position in front of Moosa and
over and above he is from my house hold and my brother and except for Ali
and his children nobody is permitted to marry inside mosque, then anyone
who desires to be there, and shown with his own hand towards Syria”
(ALMANAQIB BY IBNE MAGHAZELI PAGE 255)
This hadees is a conclusive text that according to Hadeese Manzelat whatever
benefits, advantages and attributes were for Janabe Haroon were for Hazrate
Ali alaihissalam too. It also proves to be first and foremost and to be preferred
upon other companions . Two cases mentioned after this are also based on the
same quotation of the hadees and narrations are also supported which Mir
Hamid Hussain has narrated. Because of same topic we are not narrating
completely but whatever is important will narrate and will conclude in the
following:
(A) Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said” O Ali come for
you mosque is permitted as the same is permitted for me , are you not
happy that except prophet hood your position to me is same as Haroon’s
position is for Moosa?”

Mir Hamid Hussain after narrating this adds, Holy Prophet sallallaho
alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said:” same is permitted for you ----“this is
mentioned as showing the reason for the verdict and shows that those
cases are not permissible for Ali alaihissalam except he is compared with
Haroon in relation to Janabe Moosa. Then Hadees e Manzelat has got a
great position for Ali alaihissalam only and not for other companions.
Then he was most superior after Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi
wa sallam than all other companions
(B) Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said “ Allah
subhanahu wa taala send revelation to Janabe Moosa alaihissalam that
choose a Clean mosque, that except you and two children of Haroon no
one should remain in that and Allah subhanahu wa taala has revealed to
me that I will choose a clean mosque and except me, Ali and Ali’s two
children no one will be permitted to remain in the mosque”
Mir Hamid Hussain (RahmatulLah alaih) while concluding the hadees
said: as in the tradition it is said, similarity of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam and
his two children were given with Haroon and his two children which
specifies permission of them to remain inside pure mosque and shows
that this is done by Allah subhanahu wa taala by revelation, then
similarity which is mentioned in Hadeese Manzelat is on the specific
basis. As traditions are explaining other traditions in the same way as it
has come in the book of FATHUL BARI and other books. If this hadees is
specific, itself is a biggest proof of superiority of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam
and this superiority is proof of his successor ship and Imamat after Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam.

SENTENCE OF “EXCEPT THAT THERE IS NO PROPHET AFTER ME” :

Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said: “EXCEPT THAT THERE
IS NO PROPHET AFTER ME” (LA NABIYA BADI), This sentence itself is clarifies
that if there would have been continuation of prophet hood Ali alaihissalam
would have been prophet after Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa
sallam, in this way Hadeese Manzelat is itself proof of infallibility and
superiority of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam because infallibility and superiority is
condition for prophet hood.
Tradition of Holy Prophet in which Ali alaihissalam was introduced as Minister
and successor of him.
In other tradition Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam has said
similarity between Ali alaihissalam and Haroon and said: “My shoulder has
been strengthening as shoulder of Moosa was strengthen by Haroon, he is
successor and minister of me and if there would have been prophet Ali would
have been prophet after me”
Mir Hamid Hussain (RahmatulLah alaih) writes after that:” Hazrate Ali
alaihissalam got all the positions of Janabe Haroon except that of prophet
hood as Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam is the last prophet”
HADEESE MANZELAT IS PROOF OF BEING MOST KNOWLEDGEABLE OF ALI
ALAIHISSALAM BECAUSE OF HAROON BEING THE MOST KNOWELEDGEABLE:
Janabe Haroon after Janabe Moosa was most knowledgeable person in his
nation and Hazrat Ali alaihissalam was most knowledgeable person after Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam, and this knowledge of him leads
to his superiority and superiority is the base of successor ship of him.
HADEESE MANZELAT IS PROOF OF BEING SUPERIORITY OF ALI ALAIHISSALAM
BECAUSE OF HAROON BEING THE MOST SUPERIOR:
Superiority of Janabe Haroon in the religion of Moosavi cannot be denied and
similarly superiority of Ali alaihissalam cannot be denied in the nation of Holy
Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
Saying of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam that:” Medina
cannot be reformed except by me or you” Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa
aalehi wa sallam appointed Hazrate Ali alaihissalam as successor in Medina and
told him “are you not satisfied that your position -------“then also said “Medina
cannot be reformed except by me or you”
This sentence is very important and showing great position of Hazrate Ameerul
Momeneen alaihissalam, a place which others could not get it and cannot get
it, appointing Ali alaihissalam as successor in Medina due to his position and
this itself is complete proof of superiority of Hazrat Ali alaihissalam which
results successor ship of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam
without any gap after prophet’s demise
HADEESE MANZELAT IN CONTEXT OF DISCRIBING HIS HOLINESS OF
“SAYYADUL MURSALEEN, (MASTER OF SENDERS) AMEERUL MOMENEEN
(PRINCE OF BELEIVERS), KHAIRUL WASIYEEN (BEST OF GURDIANCE) AND
AWLAN NAS BIN NABIYEEN (FIRST ONE WHO BELIEVED TO PROPHET) :
It is narrated by Anas Ibne Malik that I was near Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam and heard him saying that now “sayyadul mursaleen,
(master of senders) ameerul momeneen (prince of believers), khairul wasiyeen
(best of guardians) and awlan nas bin nabiyeen (first one who believed to
prophet) will enter, and Ali alaihissalam entered, Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe
wa aalehi wa sallam twice said : come near me come near me, Ali alaihissalam
sat in front of Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam and asked O
Holy Prophet anything has been revealed concerning me
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam said:”Are you not happy
that your position in front of me is the same position of Haroon to Moosa
except that after me there is no prophet hood, you are my brother and my
minister, and the best person whom I can keep on my place after me , and you
know the interpretation of Quran that they do not know, and you can argue
with them regarding interpretation of Quran in the same as I have argued with
them regarding its revelation
(KASHFUL GHUMMAFI MAREFATIL AIMMA BY ARBALI VOL 1 PAGE 434)
Because of that Hadees e Manzelat like other traditions is a clear tradition
regarding superiority of Hazrat Ameerul Momeneen Ali alaihissalam, it is that
highest quality in which no companion is having any share and this tradition is
having that superiority and nearness to Holy Prophet which nobody has which
results to his Imamat and successor ship after prophet without having any
body in between
ARGUMENT OF AMEERUL MOMENEEN WITH THIS HADEES IN SHURA:
Arguing Hazrate Ameerul Momeneen alaihissalam on the day of Shura with
Hadeese Manzelat is itself best proof of the greatness of hadees, its superiority
and truthfulness by which Hazrat has claimed successor ship and Khelafat after
Holy Prophet sallallaho alaihe wa aalehi wa sallam.
If this hadees was not worthy of proving his superiority Hazrat would have not
brought as a proof in front of that nation which was deadly against him and
they (enemies) also became silent on the protest of Hazrat with this Hadees
Even if it was a combined superiority Hazrat would have not selected it for
protest because otherwise they would have said how you are claiming your
right on the basis of this which is also the quality and superiority for others?
It is worth mentioning at the end that even daughter of Holy Prophet Hazrate
Zahra salamulLah Alaiha protested with this Hadees (ASNIUL MATALIB FI
MANAQEBE ALI IBNE ABI TALIB BY WASAI PAGE 50-51)
