As we were coming back from the trip, we started by greeting the Messenger of Allah and

whomever I am his Mawla. O Allah, befriend those who befriend him and oppose those who

Grading: Isnad Saheeh (Authentic chain)
Note: The Hadith of Amir al-Mu’mineen(as) and his famous saying of; “Ask me before you lose
me.” is famous in the Imami Hadith literature. In addition to the above report in Fadha’il al-
Sahaba, another Sunni report recorded by al-Dhahabi in his Seyar ‘Alam al Nubala states that
Imam al-Sadiq(as) also used to call out to the people around him in the same way as seen in this
next report:
‫ قد رأيته واقفا عند‬. ‫ كنت إذا نظرت إلى جعفر بن محمد علمت أنه من سﻼلة النبيين‬: ‫وعن عمرو بن أبي المقدام قال‬
‫ فإنه‬، ‫ سلوني قبل أن تفقدوني‬: ‫ سمعت جعفر بن محمد يقول‬، ‫وعن صالح بن أبي اﻷسود‬. ‫ سلوني‬، ‫ سلوني‬: ‫ا لجمرة يقول‬
‫ﻻ يحدثكم أحد بعدي بمثل حديثي‬
From ‘Amro b. Abi al-Muqdam, he said: Whenever I used to look at Ja’far b. Muhammad (as),
I always knew that he was from the descendants of the Prophets (as). One day I saw him
standing by al-Jamrah calling: “Ask me, Ask me…”. And from Saleh b. Abi al-Aswad, he said: I
once heard Ja’far b. Muhammad (as) say: “Ask me before you lose me. For verily no one after
me will speak to you similarly to my speech”. [Seyar ‘Alam al-Nubala’ by al-Dhahabi, page
255, section Ja’far b. Muhammad]
Narrated ‘Abdullah, he said: Narrated to me Nasr b. al-Jahdhamy from ‘Ali b. Ja’far, he said:
Narrated to me my brother Musa b. Ja’far (as) from his father Ja’far b. Muhammad (as) from
his father ‘Ali b. al-Hussain (as) from his father (as) from his grandfather(as) who said that
one day the Messenger of Allah (saw) took the hands of al-Hassan (as), al-Hussain (as) and
said: Whoever loves me, loves those two and loves their father and mother, then he will be
with me and next to my rank on the day of resurrection. [Fadha’il al-Sahaba, page 693-694,
Hadeeth 1185]
Grading: Hasan-Ghar’ib (Good but strange), according to at-Tirmidhi.
Note: Tirmidhi and other Sunni Hadith clerics did not authenticate this report by grading it as
‘Saheeh’, mainly because one of the narrators in the chain is ‘Ali b. Ja’far - one of the sons of
Imam al-Sadiq and the brother of al-Khadhim, peace be upon them, whom they consider to be
as a ‘Majhul’ narrator (unknown). The editor of this book said the following on the chain of this
report: “In it’s chain is ‘Ali b. Ja’far b. Muhammad b. al-Sadiq. No one mentioned any Jarh
(criticism) or Ta’deel (praise), while the rest of the narrators are Thiqah (trustworthy)”.
From an Imami perspective, ‘Ali b. Jafar (ra) is a reliable and trustworthy narrator and a loyal
companion of al-Khadhim (as) and al-Sadiq (as).
Abdullah narrated from his father from his father and Waqee’ from ‘Abdullah Ibn Sa’id from
his father from ‘Aisha or Om Salamah (ra): The Prophet (saw) said: One day an Angel entered
the house that has never entered before and he said to me, “Verily your son right here al-
Hussain (as) will be killed, and If you wish, I will bring you the piece of the earth that he will
die on”. So he brought me a piece of earth that was red in colour. [Fadha’il al-Sahaba, Ahmed
b. Hanbal, page 770, Hadeeth 1357]

‘Abdullah narrated from Abi ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Mahdi from Hamad b. Salamah from ‘Ammar,
he said: I heard Om Salamah (ra) say: “I once heard the Jinn cry for al-Hussain (as)”. And she
said: “I heard the Jinn mourn for al-Hussain (as)”. [Fadha’il al-Sahaba, Ahmed b. Hanbal, page
776, Hadeeth 1373]

Narrated ‘Abdullah from ‘Abd al-Rahman from Hamad b. Salamah from Ibn Abi ‘Ammar from
Ibn ‘Abbas (ra), he said: I once saw the Prophet (saw) in a dream and his hair was dusty and
rough. He was holding a vial that was filled with blood and was picking drops from it. I asked
him, “O Allah’s Messenger, what is this?”. He answered, “The blood of al-Hussain (as) and his
companions (as)”. From that day, I began to wait for it. ‘Ammar narrated: “We then
remembered this event until we saw him get killed on that day, peace be upon him”.

Narrated Ibrahim b. ‘Abdullah from Hajjaj from Hamad from Aban from Shahr b. Hosheb from
Om Salamah (ra), she said: One day Jibra’il (as) was with the Prophet (saw) while al-Hussain
(as) was with me until he began to cry, so I left him and he went to the Prophet (saw). Then
Jibra’il said to the Prophet (saw), “Do you love him, O Muhammad?”. The Prophet answered,
“Yes”. Jibra’il said, “Verily your Ummah (nation) will kill him and if you wish, I will show you a
piece of the earth that he will be killed on”. Then he showed him this piece of earth which
was called Karbala. [Fadha’il al-Sahaba, Ahmed b. Hanbal, page 782, Hadeeth 1391]

Narrated ‘Abdullah from his father from Muhammad b. Ja’far from Shu’bah from Salamah b.
Kuhayl from Muhammad b. ‘Abd al-Rahman from ‘Abdulrahman from Yazid from al-Ashtar
(ra), he said: One day a dispute occurred between ‘Ammar b. Yasir (ra) and Khalid b. al-
Waleed which made ‘Ammar complain to the Messenger of Allah (saw). Then the Messenger
of Allah (saw) said: “Verily whoever opposes ‘Ammar, ‘Allah (swt) opposes him, and whoever
hates ‘Ammar, Allah (swt) hates him, and whoever insults him, Allah (swt) insults him”.

the Mawla of every believer". Then he grabbed the hands of 'Ali and said: "So whomsoever I
am his Mawla then 'Ali is his Mawla. O Allah, support those who support him and oppose
those who oppose him". Then I asked Zayd: Did you hear it from Allah's messenger? He
answered: There was no one there who did not see and hear it with their eyes and
ears. [Khasa'is Amir al-Mu'mineen, al-Nasa'i, page 96, Hadeeth 79]

There is no one more beloved to me than your father and no one more beloved to me after
him than you. But by Allah, if these people arranged in your house again, I swear that I will
order for the house to be burned on them!". Aslam said: When 'Umar left, they came to her
and she said to them, "Did you know that 'Umar came to me today and he sworn by Allah
that if you returned to host those meetings, he will burn the house upon you?". So she told
them not to host another meeting and they did not return until they gave the pledge of

killed, yet the world is filled with them and at the same, look at how no none from Banu

And as for ‘Ali, a notice was sent to al-Mutawakel informing him that he is hiding weapons

by surprise. When they arrived, they found him in a closed house while he was facing the

We were at the Juhfah in Ghadeer and there were a lot of people. When the Messenger of

said, “Whomever I am his Mawla (master), then ‘Ali is his Mawla”.
