6. Ali (A.S.) Refers To This Matter With reference to what is narrated from Ali (A.S.), we would like to say:
FIRST: Al-Saduq has narrated, through his isnad which ends with Ali (A.S.) that he said, “While I, Fatima, al-Hasan and al-Husain (A.S.) were with the Messenger of Allah (A.S.), he turned to us and broke into tears. I asked him, `What is wrong, O Messenger of Allah?’ He said, `I weep for the time when someone will deal a sword’s blow to your head and when Fatima’s cheek is slapped.’”[1]
SECOND: Another hadith states the following: “Ali ibn Abi Talib (A.S.) went out towards the highland and was met by Qais ibn Shammas who asked him, `O father of al-Hasan! What are you upset about?’ He said, `They wanted to burn my house and its residents as Abu Bakr seated himself on the pulpit [of the Prophet (A.S.)] to receive the oath of allegiance without stopping the aggression nor even denouncing it.’”[2] He (A.S.) complains and demonstrates how they treated him by way of narrating a tradition rather than as a form of protest so that the incident may be the axis of the argument, the decisive issue. The protests were always directed towards effecting justice regarding the most important issue, that is, the coup that assaulted the caliphate (which is relevant to all the Islamic reality), as expressed by the person seeking the evidence. There are other narratives which will be narrated in the section dedicated to the texts and legacies, by the Will of Allah. |
