Death of The Holy Prophet

 Abdullah ibn As‟ad ibn Zurarah relates from his father that the Holy Prophet said, “Allah Almighty has revealed upon me the three titles of Ali; 1. He is the lord of Muslims. 2. He is the leader of the pious. 3. He is the leader of those with enlightened forehead.”

(Mustadrak 4668)

 Abdullah ibn Abbas said that the following verse was revealed regarding the love of Ali:

79:9) 6(﴾﴿ادونمحرلامہللعجیستحلصلااولمعواونمانیذلانا

Meaning: Surely, those who believed and did pious deeds, the most Kind (Lord) will create love for them in the hearts (of the people). (19:96) He added, “It means He will create love for Ali in the hearts of believers.” (Tabarani)

 Abdullah ibn Masud relates that the Holy Prophet said, “Allah ordered me to get my daughter Fatimah married to

Ali.” (Tabarani)

 Jabir ibn Abdullah says, “During the Battle of Khaybar, Ali dislodged the door of the fort, hence the Muslims attacked the fort and conquered it. It is a verified fact that the door was so heavy that forty people together could lift it.” (Ibn Abi

Shaybah)

The Companions loved the Prophet ardently and intensely. The death of the Holy Prophet drowned them in the ocean of grief and sorrow. Ali was brought up under his kind supervision. He was the Prophet‟s cousin and son-in-law as well. Thus, he was in an intense grief.
