In the battle of Khaybar, the Prophet ο·Ί announced, 'Tomorrow, I shall give the flag to a man who Allah and His Messenger ο·Ί love. And Allah will grant us victory at his hands." All the Companions remained anxious that night hoping that they could be that man. In the morning, they all stood to see who that person could be. The Prophet ο·Ί stood and asked, "Where is 'Ali ibn Abi Talib." At that particular time, he was suffering from an eye ailment so the Prophet ο·Ί wiped his noble saliva in the eyes of Sayyiduna Ali and he was immediately cured.
He then went on to rip off the iron door from the Fortresses of Khaybar with his own blessed hands and threw it. The Muslims then penetrated and were granted victory. Imam Hakim and Bayhaqi mention that 40 men were later unable to carry that same tomorrow.
The poet said that Khaybar still shakes out of awe when hearing the name of Sayyiduna 'Ali. Honouring and loving our Master 'Ali is the sign of being a believer. Reviling him, refusing to praise him, disliking his mention, and attempting to sideline him is the sign of the hypocrites. The love of the Ahl al-Bayt and their remembrance must be in each and every Sunni home. I can never understand people who proudly mention the merits of their own lineages, parents, and families but refuse to ever speak about the one was praised by the Messenger of Allah ο·Ί. You cannot love the Prophet ο·Ί without loving Sayyiduna Ali. Ψ±ΨΆΩ Ψ§ΩΩΩ ΨΉΩΩ
