My father رحمه الله narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Idris narrated to us. He said: Ya`qub b. Yazid narrated to us from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr from Muhammad al-Qubti. He said: al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad عليه السلام said: The people are heedless of what the Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said regarding `Ali b. Abi Talib
عليه السلام in the chamber of Umm Ibrahim, just as they are heedless of what he said regarding him on the Day of Ghadir Khumm. The Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم was in the chamber of Umm Ibrahim, and his companions were with him, when `Ali
عليه السلام came. They did not make way for him. When he saw that they did not make way for him, he said: “O people! These are my Ahl al-Bayt. You trivialize them whilst I am alive and whilst I am among you. Surely, by Allah, when I am away from you, Allah will certainly not be absent from you. Surely, serenity, solace, happiness, and glad tidings are for those who follow `Ali, align with him, and are at peace with him and the deputies from his descendants. It will be my responsibility to bring them into my intercession, for they are my followers, and whoever follows me is surely of me. This is a tradition that has passed through Ibrahim
عليه السلام, for I am from Ibrahim and Ibrahim is from me. My virtue is his virtue, and his virtue is my virtue – and I am more virtuous than him. The saying of my Lord confirms that, ‘Offspring, one of the other, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing.’
(3:34)” The Messenger of Allah
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم had injured his leg in the chamber of Umm Ibrahim when the people had come to him.
