In the name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe. And peace be upon Muhammad and his Pure Progeny, and may Allah send his curses on their enemies until the Day of Judgement.
It was narrated that 'Ali said:
"The Prophet [SAW] made a covenant with me that none would love me but a believer, and none would hate me but a hypocrite."
[Sunan an-Nasa'i 5022, Grade: Sahih, link]
It was narrated that 'Ali said:
"The Unlettered Prophet informed me (saying) that none but a believer would love me and none but a hypocrite would hate me."
[Sunan ibn Majah Book 1, Hadith 119, Grade: Sahih, link]
Narrated 'Ali:
"The Prophet (ﷺ) - the Unlettered Prophet - exhorted me (saying): 'None loves you except a believer and none hates you except a hypocrite.'" 'Adi bin Thabit (a narrator) said: "I am from the generation whom the Prophet (ﷺ) supplicated for."
[Jami at-Tirmidhi Book 49, Hadith 4101, Grade: Sahih, link]
The repeated principle in these narrations is that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said that nobody would hate Ali (peace be upon him) unless they were a hypocrite. So what was the position of Aisha towards Ali (peace be upon him)? Shiapen.com writes:
When Ubaidullah Ibn Utbah mentioned to Ibn Abbas that Aisha said “In his death-illness the Prophet was brought to (Aisha’s) house while his shoulders were being supported by Fadhl Ibn Abbas and another person”, then Abdullah Ibn Abbas said: “Do you know who this ‘other man’ was?” Ibn Utbah replied: “No.” Then Ibn Abbas said: “He was Ali Ibn Abi Talib, but she is averse to name him in a good context.”The references for the above narration can be located in the following texts:Let's dissect this authentic narration to give a clearer image of the incident. Ubaydullah bin Utbah is informing Abdullah bin Abbas of Aisha's record of what happened during the Prophet (peace be upon him)'s final days. Aisha says that he was being supported by Fadhl bin Abbas and "another person." The key point is Aisha omitting the name of the person who was carrying the Prophet (peace be upon him). Abdullah bin Abbas informs Ubaydullah bin Utbah that the "other person," was Imam Ali (peace be upon him," yet "she is averse to name him in a good context." So by the admission of Abdullah bin Abbas, Aisha had a grudge against Ali (peace be upon him). And the words of the Prophet (peace be upon him) are clear in that nobody except a hypocrite would hate Imam Ali (peace be upon him). And all the while Allah says in his Quran, Surah 42 Verse 23:
- al-Tabaqat al-Kabir, by Ibn Sa’d, v2, part 2, p29
- History of al-Tabari (Arabic), v1, pp 1800-1801
- This is also loacted in the English translation.
The margin writer of Musnad Ahmed bin Hanbal namely Shaykh Shoib al-Arnaut stated:
- al-Ansab al-Ashraf, by al-Baladhuri, v1, pp 544-545
“The chain is Sahih according to the standards of the two Sheiks (Bukhari & Muslim)”
ذَٰلِكَ الَّذِي يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحَاتِ ۗ قُلْ لَا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبَىٰ ۗ وَمَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيهَا حُسْنًا ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ {23}
[Shakir 42:23] That is of which Allah gives the good news to His servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful.And the famous scholar of those who refer to themselves as Ahlus-Sunnah Jalaluddin as-Suyuti records in his Tafsir Dur al-Manthoor:
وأخرج أبو نعيم والديلمي من طريق مجاهد، عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " { لا أسألكم عليه أجراً إلا المودة في القربى } " أن تحفظوني في أهل بيتي وتودّوهم بي " ". And from Abu Nu'aym and ad-Daylami from the way of Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas (May Allah be pleased with him) who said: "The Prophet of Allah (Peace be upon him) said: "{ I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives}, that you preserve me in my Ahlulbayt (family) and you love them by me."Link to tafsirSo Aisha, by hating Ali (peace be upon him) who was from the family of the Prophet, not only disobeyed a clear prophetic command, but also disobeyed a clear quranic command and proved herself to be a hypocrite. And the curse of Allah is upon the liars and those who hate the Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them).
