What we know is You are Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as) bin Hashim bin Abdul Munaf bin Qasi bin Kalab.” Moula (asws) replied, “My Father named Me “Zaid” which is the name of My grandfather. My Father’s name is Abdul Munaf. However His kunyat overcame His name.

They said, “O’Ameerul Momineen (asws)! Aswad is a thief.”

Ameerul Momineen (asws) asked him, “O’Aswad! Have you stolen something?”

He replied, “Yes, O’ Ameerul Momineen (asws).”

Moula (asws) said, “May your mother cry over if you repeat this a second time, then I will cut off your hand”.

Aswad said, “Yes O’ Ameerul Momineen”.

Moula (asws) said, “Do you know what you are saying?”

He said, “Yes O’ Ameerul Momineen (asws)”.

Ameerul Momineen (asws) ordered his hand to be cut off. After his hand had been cut off, he covered it with his left hand and went out of the mosque. Along the way, he met Abdullah bin Al Kawa. He asked Aswad, “O’Aswad, who cut your right hand?”

Aswad replied, “My right hand was cut by the master of successors, Imam of the people with shining foreheads. The one who cut my hand is master of Momineen, master of the religion who is the qibla of arifeen (those with marifat), the most brave, the killer of kufr, caliph of RasoolAllah (saw). He is the intercessor on the day of judgment. He is the Imam of the entire creation and the rope of Allah. He is the example of Musa (as) and Haroon (as).

He is the victorious of Badr and Hunain. He is the master of pious and friend of Allah. My hand was cut by the one who is Mazher ul Ajaib, Sahib ul Moajizat, and solver of all problems. He is the best judge. My hand was cut by one whose love is such a virtue that no evil can diminish it and His hatred is such evil that no virtue can be of benefit. My hand was cut by Hashimi, Makki, Madni, Talibi, Hijazi, Taqi, Naqi, Wasi, Mafri, Rabee, Zaki, and Lozi. My hand was cut the one who possesses the whole knowledge of the book. My hand was cut by the one who is the Imam of the day of judgment. My hand was cut by the one who the entire creation will stand before on the day of judgment. My hand was cut by the one who is the master of Jibrael (as) and possesses all the knowledge of Zuboor and Injeel. My hand was cut by the one who is my wasila (intercessor) before Allah and cure for all of my ailments. He is the greatest worshipper and devotee. My hand was cut by the one who fought with two swords, two spears, and prayed towards two qiblas. My hand was cut by the Father of Hasan (as) and Hussain (as) and husband of Fatima Zahra Syedatul Nisa al Alameen (sa).

My hand was cut by the one who appeared in the house of Allah (Kaaba) and who is the lion of Allah. My hand was cut by the one who gave honor to Mecca. My hand was cut by the one who is master of Kausar and who will carry the flag on the day of judgment. He is the second of the Ahlul Kisa (people of the cloak) and slept in the bed of RasoolAllah (saw). He removed the door of Khayber. He fought with jinns and freed people from their atrocities.

He spoke with a snake from the mimbar of Kufa. My hand was cut by the one who said to the people “Ask Me before you lose Me. I possess knowledge of all things.” My hand was cut by the one who is the greatest news and Sirat ul Mustaqeen (straight path). He is the Father of the Sacred Imams (as). He is the one Allah calls as “umm al Kitab” (reality of the book) in His book. He is most high and most wise. My hand was cut by the one who is the sign of Allah and helper of the religion of Allah. He is the protector of the house of Allah. He is the trustee of all the secrets of Allah. He is the advisor of the slaves of Allah and Hujjat (proof) of Allah. He calls people towards the shariat of Allah. My hand was cut by the one who is the most trustworthy, most kind, and helper of widows and orphans. My hand is cut by the one who is praised in the book of Allah. He broke the idols in the house of Allah. He is the pillar of Islam. He is the cousin of RasoolAllah (saw). My right hand was cut by the one who is the Father of the Imams (as) and the sun in the darkness. He is the guide of the ummah. He is the remover of grief. He is the owner of all the blessings of Allah. He is the most high, most courageous, and most brave. His face shines bright with noor. He is the father of Shabbir and Shabeer. My hand was cut by the one who is killer of amar bin abduwad (la) and marhab (la). He is the Imam of arabs and ajim. He is the one for whom RasoolAllah (saw) took His bayyat in Ghadeer in a great gathering and whose obedience is wajib (compulsory) upon everyone until the day of judgment. My hand was cut by one who is the most knowledgeable and the one who is the judge between jinns and humans. He is the one whose attributes are uncountable. My hand was cut by the one who is the recitor of Quran.

He is the one whom Allah revealed both hiddenly and openly. My hand was cut by the one who is most patient, greatest worshipper, and best forgiver. My hand was cut by one who is with haq (truth) and haq is with Him. My hand was cut by the one who is the noor of the east and west. He is the wrath of Allah. My hand was cut by Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as).”

At that moment ibn al Kawa said, “O’Aswad! Ameerul Momineen (asws) has cut off your hand but you praise Him in this manner?”

Aswad replied, “How can I not praise Him when His love is mixed with my blood and flesh?”

ibn al Kawa went to Ameerul Momineen (asws) and said, “O’ my Master! I have just witnessed a most strange incident.”

Moula (asws) asked, “What have you seen?”

He said, “I came upon Aswad just after You had cut off his right hand. He was holding his right hand with his left hand, and I asked him, “Who cut your hand?” He replied, “My Master, Ameerul Momineen (asws).” Then ibn al Kawa repeated what all Aswad had said, “How can I not praise my Master whose love is mixed with my blood and flesh?”

Upon hearing this, Ameerul Momineen (asws) asked Imam Hasan (as) to bring Aswad to Him. Imam Hasan (as) went and found Aswad, and then He brought him to Ameerul Momineen (asws).

Moula (asws) asked him, “O’Aswad, I cut your hand and yet you praise Me.”

Aswad replied, “How can I not praise You when Your love is mixed with my blood and flesh? I swear by Allah, You rightly so cut my hand and freed me from the punishment on the day of judgment.”

Then Moula (asws) turned to the people and said, “Have I not told you there are such people that if We cut them into pieces by Our swords, their love for Us will increase and there are such people that even if We feed them pure honey, their hatred for Us will only increase.” Then Moula (asws) took his hand that had been cut off and put it back on his arm and wrapped His cloak around it. Then Moula (asws) prayed 2 rakat prayer and made dua.

Then Moula (asws) removed the cloak and said, “O’ cut hand, return to your previous state by the order of Allah”. Then Aswad’s hand returned to normal as if it had never been cut off.

Aswad stood up and was saying, “I believed in Allah and His Prophet and Ameerul Momineen (asws) who returned my hand after it had been cut off.” Then Aswad fell down upon the feet of Ameerul Momineen (asws) and said, “May my parents be sacrificed upon You, O’ Inheritor of the knowledge of prophets”. Then Aswad returned to his house.”

Your declaration is My declaration. You are Imam of My ummah and My caliph. One who has obeyed You is most fortunate. One who disobeys You is from the worst kind. One who loves You has found salvation. One who hates You will be thrown into the fire. One who remains close to You has gained success. One who went far from You lost everything.

To Allah, none is more honorable than Ali (asws). Ali (asws) is that tongue of Allah through whom Allah speaks. Ali (asws) is the wrath of Allah and the blow of the wrath of Allah.

Verily, Allah is the blow of Allah. Allah mentions this in Quran, “And certainly We had warned them of Our blow but they did doubt the warnings” (54:36). Verily Allah created You through His commandment and separated You from His creation. He put Your love in the hearts of momins. I swear by Allah, there are angels in the heavens who can only be counted by Allah and who are constantly awaiting the orders of Ali (asws). They remember Ali (asws) continuously. The people of the heavens are proud of having gained the marifat of Ali (asws ) and they gained the marifat of Allah through Your marifat, and they await Your orders. O’Ali (asws)!

66. Safeer al Safraa (representative of representatives)

This narration is taken from a letter from Sheik Abi Jafar al Tulsi. Ibn Shazaan narrated this from Jabir bin Yazid who narrated it from the companions of Ameerul Momineen (asws).

“One day Salman (as) came to Ameerul Momineen (asws) and asked Ameerul Momineen (asws) about Himself. Moula (asws) replied, “O’ Salman (as)! I am the one whose obedience was presented before every nation. Those who denied Me I threw into hellfire. I am the trustee of Allah. I only speak haq (truth). No one can gain My true marifat except those who were with Me in Malial Alala. Then Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Hussain (as) came. Moula (asws) said, “O’Salman (as)! They are the glory of the throne of Allah. The heavens shine due to the noor of Hasan (as) and Hussain (as). Their Mother (sa) is the best of creation.

One who fulfills His promise with Me associates himself with haq. One who does not fulfill his promise associates himself with batil (falsehood) and hellfire will be his abode. I am the clear proof of Allah. I am His Immortal Kalima. I am the representative of representatives.”

Salman (as) said, “O’Ameerul Momineen (asws)! I read about You in Taurah and Injeel.

May my parents be sacrificed upon You. I swear by Allah, if people had not said they will kill Salman (as), I would have told them Your true attributes. You are that proof of Allah through whom the repentance of Adam (as) gained acceptance. Through You, Yusuf (as) was freed from the well. You are the one through whom Allah sent His mercy upon Ayyub (as).” Ameerul Momineen (asws) said, “Do you know the reason of Allah’s mercy upon Ayyub?” Salman (as) said, “Allah knows and You know”. Ameerul Momineen (asws) said, “Ayyub doubted in My kingdom. Allah said to Ayyub, “O’ Ayyub (as), do you doubt in the one whom I have chosen? I tested Adam (as) and then forgave him through the test of Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as) and you doubt in His kingdom? I swear by My honor, you will taste My wrath or you accept the obedience of Ali (asws) ibn Abi Talib (as) with repentance”. Then Ayyub (as) repented and was forgiven by Allah. He testified to My (Moula asws) obedience”.
