The Translation of the Speech in English
Bismillah al-Rahman al-Raheem
Page 334
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful22 Praise and Glorification of Almighty Allah All praise belongs to Allah who has exalted in His oneness [above His creation], while He has drawn near [to His creation] in His uniqueness, [He is] Majestic in His dominance and Mighty in His power. He encompasses everything in [His] knowledge while He is in His position, and has overpowered all creation with His power and reason. [He is] continually praiseworthy, unceasingly praised, and forever glorified and perfect. He is the originator and the restorer, and every matter returns to Him.
He is the Creator of the seven-heavens, the un-folder of the planets, and the Compeller of the earths and the heavens; Holy and Glorified, the Lord of the Angels and the Spirit. He continually graces all whom He originated, bestows favours to all He created.
He observes all eyes while the eyes cannot see Him. He is Kind/Generous, Clement, of restraint and leniency. He has made His Mercy reach and encompass everything, and He confers upon them His Grace. He does not haste in His retribution, and He does not rush to them with what they deserve of His chastisement.
He is aware of the hearts and knows the minds; the concealed are not hidden from Him, nor are the unseen unclear to Him. His is the encompassing of everything, the overpowering of everything, the ability in [doing] everything, the strength and power over everything, and nothing is like His similitude. He is the creator of the thing when it is not a thing.
He is eternal, living, and maintainer of justice; there is no deity but He, the Exalted in Power, the Wise.
He is glorified and exalted from being comprehended by visions, while He comprehends [all]
visions, and He is All Subtle, All Aware. No one can apprehend His description through inspection or observation, and no one can find out how He is through covert or overt [means]
except through that which He Almighty and Majestic guided onto Himself.
And I bear witness that He is Allah whose Holiness has filled the space of time, whose light has encompassed eternity, and who implements His command without consulting an adviser. He does not have with Him a partner in decision-making, nor is He assisted in planning and running His affairs.
He fashioned and formed that which He created without following a [pre-existing] example or model, and He created what He created without receiving any help from anyone, nor with any hardship, skill, or excellence.
He initiated them, and so they were, and He created them, and so they became evident. Thus He is Allah whom there is no deity other than Him, He is perfect in His making, beautiful in His
22- Researched by Muhammad Baqir Ansari
Page 335
product, He is the Just One who never oppresses, and He is the most kind to Whom all matters return.
And I bear witness that He is Allah before whose Greatness everything is humbled, before whose Might everything is humiliated, before whose Power everything surrenders, and before whose Awe everything is lowly. [He is] the King of kings, the maker of the orbits, the harnesser of the sun and the moon,each flowing for an appointed time,He winds the night over the day, and winds the day over the night which it pursues swiftly. [He is the] destroyer of every obstinate tyrant, and annihilator of every mutinous devil.
He has no opponent and nor has He a peer along with Him, [but He is] One, the Absolute Authority, He never begets, nor is He begotten, and none can ever be His equal. [He is] the one deity and the Glorious Lord.[He] proceeds as He wishes, determines as He wills, He knows so He encompasses, He causes death and gives life,16 impoverishes and enriches, makes laugh and makes weep, brings near and sends far, withholds and bestows, His is the kingdom and His is all the Praise, in His hand is all goodness, and He is competent of everything.
He merges night into day and merges day into night, there is no deity except He, the All-Mighty the All-Forgiving, the answerer of prayers, the giver in abundance, the counter of the breaths, and the Lord of the jinn and man kind. He is the One, whom nothing confuses, nor do the cries of the help-seekers tire Him, nor does the insistence of the unrelenting ones exhaust Him. He is the protector of the virtuous, the facilitator to the successful, the (Patron) of the faithful, and the Lord of the worlds, who deserves to be thanked by every one He created, and to be praised in every circumstance.
I praise Him greatly, and thank Him continuously for every happiness and suffering, and for every hardship and ease, and I believe in Him and His angels, and His books, and His messengers. I listen to His command and obey, and I hasten to everything that pleases Him, and submit and surrender to what He determines, [all out of my] desire/eagerness to be in His obedience, and out of fear of His chastisement, for He is Allah whose plot is not secured against, and whose injustice is not feared.
Divine Command of Ultimate Importance
I confirm my servitude to Him, and I testify to His Lordship, I carry out whatever He has revealed to me, out of fear if I do not do it of being subjected to a calamity from Him that no one can repel from me no matter how great his skill and excellence may be, and how elite and influential he might be; there is no god but He.
For indeed He has informed me that if I do not convey what He has revealed to me about the right of Ali, I would not have conveyed His Message, and indeed He, Blessed and Exalted He is, has guaranteed me protection from the people, for He is Allah the Sufficient/Protector, the Kind/Generous So He revealed to me, In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful, O Messenger! Convey that that has been sent down to you from your Lord about Ali, meaning the succession for Ali Ibn Abitaleb and if you do not, then you would not have conveyed His Message, and Allah will protect you from the people
Page 336
O companies of mankind! I have not been negligent in delivering what Allah has sent down unto me, and I shall explain to ye the reason behind the revelation of this ayah. Indeed Gabriel descended unto me three times ordering me on behalf of my Lord The Salam for He is The Salam [The Peace/The Faultless] that I stand uphere in this site and let every white and black know that indeed Ali Ibn Abitaleb, is my brother and my (trustee and executor of will and teaching), my successor over my Ummah (nation), the Imam after me, whose station to me is like that of Aaron to Moses save that there will be no prophet after me and hes your (patron/authority) after Allah and His messenger.
In fact Allah, Blessed and Exalted, has sent down upon me about this an ayah from His Book which is, Indeed your (patron/authority) is Allah and His Messenger, and those who believe who uphold the prayer and give the alms while they are bowing, and Ali Ibn Abitaleb is the one who upheld the prayer and gave the alms while he was bowing seeking Allah, Exalted and Majestic, in all circumstances.
I asked Gabriel to plead to The Salam to excuse me from having to convey this to ye – O people knowing how few are the pious, and how great are the masses of the hypocrites, the mischief and the plotting of the wicked, and the manoeuvrings of those who scorn Islam, those whom Allah describes in His Book as they say with their tongues what is not in their hearts, and they consider it a trifle but in the sight of Allah it is grave, and due to their hurting me excessively on more than one occasion, such that they labelled me “ ears”, and they claimed that I am so because of him (Ali) being with me for so much, for my welcoming him and paying attention to him, for him always being in line with me, and for accepting from me [all my words and commands], such that Allah, Exalted and Majestic, revealed about that Among them are those who torment the Prophet, and they say, ‘He is an ear’.
Say, ‘An ear against those whoclaim he is an ear is good for ye’. He has faith in Allah and trusts the faithful, and is a mercy for those of ye who have faith. As for those who torment Allah’s messenger, there is a painful punishment for them
Had I wished to name those who have said this, I would have called them by their names, and if I wished to point them out individually one by one I would have pointed them out, and if I wished to single them out, I would have singled them out, but by Allah I have been magnanimous about their affairs.
Yet despite all of that, Allah would not be pleased with me unless I convey what Allah has sent down upon me about the right of Ali, O Messenger! Convey that that has been sent down to you from your Lord_ _and if you do not, then you would not have conveyed His Message, and Allah will protect you from the people.
Formal Announcement of the Leadership and Mastership of Ali and the 12 Imams So comprehend what I have just said about him O companies of mankind and understand it, and know that Allah has indeed appointed him as your (authority/patron) and (leader)
Page 337
whose obedience is obligatory upon the Muha jereen (the Immigrants), the Ansar (the Supporters), those who follow them (the Tabe‘een) in good faith, and upon people of the deserts and the people of the towns, and upon the non-Arab and the Arab, the free and bonded, the young and the old, the white and the black, and upon every monotheist; [unquestionably] his judgement is upheld, his word is forgone and undisputable, his command is executed. Cursed [expelled and excluded from the mercy of Allah] is he who opposes him, blessed with mercy is he who follows him and confirms him; for Allah has indeed forgiven him as well as he who listens to him and obeys him.
O companies of mankind, this is the last stand I make in such a site, so listen to, obey, and follow the command of Allah your Lord, for Allah, Almighty and Majestic, is your (master and authority) and your deity, and then after Him, His Messenger and His Prophet – who is addressing ye – is your (authority/patron), then after me Ali is your and your (leader) by the command of Allah your Lord, then the (leadership) is in my progeny from amongst his offspring until the Day ye stand before Allah and His Messenger.
There is no halal except that which Allah has prescribed as halal, His messenger, and them, and there is no haram except that that Allah has prescribed as haram for ye, His messenger and them (i.e. the ). Indeed Allah, Almighty and Majestic, taught me the hala and the haram and I passed on what my Lord taught me from His Book and about His halal and His haram to him.
O companies of mankind! Prefer him [over all others]. There is no knowledge except that Allah has registered and gathered in me [and has made me encompass it], and every knowledge that I have been taught I have indeed registered in the Leader of the Pious ( ), and there is no knowledge except that I have taught to Ali, for he is The Manifest Leader ( ) whom Allah has mentioned in the surah of YaSeen and We have registered everything in a manifest leader ( ).
O companies of mankind! Do not deviate from him and do not disband from him, do not disdain or scorn his (authority/patronage), for he is the one who guides to the truth and acts upon it, and vanquishes falsehood and prohibits it, and in the cause of Allah he is not taken by the blame of any blamer.
He is the first to believe in Allah and His Messenger; no one preceded him to the belief in me.
He is the one who offered himself as a sacrifice for Allah’s Messenger, and he is the one who was with Allah’s Messenger when there was no one who worshiped Allah with His Messenger from amongst the men other than him. He is the first of mankind to perform the prayers and the first who worshiped Allah with me. I commanded him, on Allah’s behalf, to remain in my bed, and he did, offering himself as a sacrifice himself for me.
O companies of mankind! Prefer him over others for Allah has preferred him, and accept him for Allah has appointed him [as your ].
O companies of mankind! He is an from Allah, and Allah will never accept the repentance of anyone who denies his (authority), nor will He ever forgive him; it is a definite certainty for Allah to do that to whoever disobeys his command and that He will punish him a
Page 338
grave punishment perpetually forever, and throughout space and time. So beware of disobeying him (Ali) for ye will burn in a Fire whose fuel is humans and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.
O companies of mankind! By Allah, all past prophets and messengers gave the glad tidings of my advent, and I, by Allah, am the seal of the prophets and of the messengers, and I am the proof ( ) upon all beings of the heavens and the earths. Whoever doubts this, he has indeed disbelieved like the disbelief of the early ignorance ( ), and whoever doubts anything of this statement of mine, he has indeed doubted all that has descended upon me, and he who doubts any one of the Imams, he has indeed doubted all of them, and anyone who doubts us is in the Fire.
O companies of mankind! Allah, Almighty and Majestic, bestowed me with this grace out of His favour unto me, and out of His kindness to me, and there is no deity other than He. O to Him is all the praise from me eternally for ever and ever, as long as time exists and in all circumstances.
O companies of mankind! Give preference to Ali for he is the best of mankind after me male or female so long as Allah brings down the sustenance, and creation exists.
Cursed and again cursed, wrathed and again wrathed is he, who objects to this speech of mine and does not concur to it. Indeed Gabriel has informed me of this, on behalf of Almighty Allah, saying, “ he who opposes Ali and does not accept his authority, , then upon him is My curse and My wrath”,So let every soul consider what it sends ahead for tomorrow, and be wary of Allah– in opposing him –when the feet would slip after being firm, indeed Allah is well aware of what ye do.
O companies of mankind! He is the “ Side of Allah” ( ) whom He mentions in His Glorious Book; so the Exalted says, informing of those who oppose him, Lest anyone should say, Alas for my negligence in the side of Allah!
O companies of mankind! Reflect on the Qur’an and understand its verses, look into its definitive verses and do not follow its resembling/analogous verses, for by Allah no one can ever elucidate and reveal for ye its prohibitions, nor explain to ye its explanation and interpretation other than the one whose hand I am holding and elevating him to myself, lifting his arm, hoisting him with my hand. I [hereby] announce to ye that whoever’s (authority/patron) I have been, then this, Ali, is his and he is Ali Ibn Abitaleb, my brother, my (trustee/executor), and the mandate of his authority and patronage is from Allah, Almighty and Majestic, which He sent it down upon me.
O companies of mankind! Indeed Ali and the pure ones from amongst my offspring – who are from his loins –are the Lesser Weight, and the Qur’an is the Greater Weight, and each one of them two informs about and leads to its companion, and is in agreement with it; those two will never part until they return to me at the Pool [of Kawthar on the Day of Judgement].
Page 339
O Indeed they are the Trustees of Allah over His creation and His rulers on His earth. O Indeed I have fulfilled [my duty], O indeed I have conveyed [the message], O indeed I have made myself heard, O indeed I have elucidated. O Indeed Allah, Almighty and Exalted, has said, and I have said on behalf of Allah, Almighty and Exalted.
O Indeed there is no “ Amir al-Mo’mineen” (Commander of the Faithful) other than this brother of mine. O Indeed the commandership of the believers is not permissible for anyone after me other than him.
Allah’s Messenger Publicly Appoints His Successor Then Allah’s messenger grabbed Ali on the arm lifting him up. Since the time when Allah’s messenger went up the stand Amir al-Mo’mineen was a step lower than his level on his right, they looked as if they were on the same level. Allah’s messenger lifted him with his hand, and [Ali’s hands] spread towards the sky; he raised Ali until his leg was along the knees of Allah’s messenger. Allah’s messenger then said: O people! Who has more authority over ye than ye have over yourselves?
They said: “ Allah and His Messenger”. So Allah’s messenger said:
So whoever’s authority and patron I have been, then this, Ali, is his authority and patron. O Allah be the patron of whoever takes him as the patron, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him, succour whoever succours him and desert whoever deserts him.
O companies of mankind! This Ali is my brother, my and the one who knows and comprehends [all] my knowledge. He is my successor over my Ummah; over everyone who believes in me, and [he is my successor] for the interpretation of the Book of Allah, Almighty and Majestic, [he is] the Caller to Him; the one who works that which pleases Him, the combater of His enemies, the devotee of His obedience, and the forbidder of His disobedience.
Indeed he is the Successor ( ) of Allah’s Messenger, the Commander of the Faithful ( ),and the Guiding Imam ( ) assigned by Allah. [He is] the killer of the Perfidious ( ), the Fanatics ( ), and the Renegades ( ) by the command of Allah.
Allah says: _The Word is unalterable with Me. By Your command O Lord I say, O Allah be the patron of whoever takes him as the patron, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him;
succour whoever succours him, and desert whoever deserts him; curse whoever rejects him, and be wrathful to whoever obstinately denies his right.
O Allah You brought down the ayah about Ali Your (authority) when illustrating that and appointing him on this day,Today I have perfected your religion for ye, and I have completed my blessing upon ye, and I have approved Islam for ye as a religion, and You said, indeed the religion with Allah is Islam, and You said, Should anyone seek a religion other than Islam, it
Page 340
shall never be accepted from him, and he will be among the losers in the Hereafter. O Allah I take you as a witness that I have indeed conveyed [Your Message].
Emphasis on the Nation to Adhere to Imamat
O companies of mankind! Allah, Almighty and Majestic, has indeed perfected your religion through his (leadership). So whoever does not take him as an and those who succeed him from amongst my offspring from his loins until the Day of Judgment and Presentation before Allah, Almighty and Majestic indeed they are the ones whose deeds have failed in this world and in the Hereafter, and in the Fire they are eternal, the punishment will not be lightened for them, nor will they be granted any respite.
O companies of mankind! This is Ali; the most supportive of ye to me, the most rightful of ye to [succeed] me, the closest of ye to me, and the most esteemed and precious of ye to me; both Allah Almighty and Majestic and I are contented and pleased with him. No ayah of contentment in the Qur’an was [ever] sent down except [it was] about him, and Allah did not address _those who believe_ except that He started with him, no verse of praise in the Qur’an was [ever] sent down except that which was about him, Allah did not attest Paradise in [the surah of] has there been on mankind...except for him, nor did He send it down for other than him, and He did not admire anyone with it other than him.
O companies of mankind! He is the succourer of Allah’s religion, the disputer [in support] of Allah’s messenger, and he is indeed the Pious ( ), the Pure ( ), the Guide ( ), and the Guided ( ). Your prophet is the best prophet, your is the best and his sons are the best of the
O companies of mankind! The offspring of every prophet is from his loins, whereas my offspring is from the loins of the Commander of the Faithful ( ) Ali.
O companies of mankind! Iblees caused Adam to be dismissed from Paradise through envy, so do not envy him for your deeds will be nullified and your feet will slip away, for Adam was lowered to the earth due to a single fault, while he was the Chosen One of Allah, Almighty and Exalted, and what about ye, and ye being what ye are, and some of ye are the enemies of Allah?
O Indeed no one loathes Ali except for the wicked, no one supports Ali and support his except for the pious, and none believes in him except for a sincere believer. And– by Allah – it was about Ali that descended the surah of al-Asr; In the Name of Allah, the all-beneficent, the all-merciful. By Time, Indeed man is at a loss except for Ali who believed, and contented to the Truth and to Perseverance.
O companies of mankind! Indeed I have taken Allah as a witness, conveyed my message and there is none upon the messenger save a clear conveying.
O companies of mankind! Fear Allah as He should be feared and die not except when ye are
