Alee ibn Abu Talib (ra) Session 258. Alee’s (ra) advice regarding the one who murdered him. On the last day, Alee (ra) calls his two sons Hassan & Hussein (ra) and instructs them to love their brother, Mohammed ibn Hanifiya (rah), since he loves him. The people ask Alee (ra) to leave a successor, he refuses and says I will leave you as The Prophet ﷺ left you. The last words of Alee (ra), Surah 99 v7-8. A short bio of Alee (ra), to look at his face is an act of worship, The Dhul-Qarnayn of Paradise, the one likened to 3 Prophets, the lion, the best judge…. The parting advice from Alee (ra) to Hassan (ra), intelligence is the most valuable trait, stupidity is the worst poverty, self conceit is the most terryfying path, good character is the most honourable part of nobility. Stay away from 4 friends, the fool, the liar, the miser and the immoral. The peak of Islam is to remain in the company of the pious. The perfection of sincerity is to abstain from the prohibited. The best word is that followed up with action. Nothing is bad if it leads you to paradise and there is no calamity except to enter hell. When you focus on you own faults, you will have no time to look at the faults of others. The beauty of poverty is patience and the beauty of wealth is gratitude. My words will guide you, Alee (ra).
