Fazilat e Imam Ali ki be-shumaar daleelen Quran o Sunnat mein bikhri pari hain, jin mein se ek pur-shikwa waqea Ayat-e-Wilayat ka nuzool hai. Yeh woh munfarid mauqa tha jab Allah Ta’ala ne Hazrat Ali alaihis salam ki fazilat e Imam Ali ko abdi qarar dete hue unhein apna aur apne Rasool ka wali qarar diya. Yeh waqea na sirf fazilat e Imam Ali ki wazeh aur naa-qabil-e-tardeed daleel hai balke har eman walay ke liye mash’al-e-raah bhi hai.

Pehla Pehlu: Quran-i-Majeed mein Fazilat e Imam Ali ka Izhar

Ayat-e-Wilayat: Ek Tareekhi Sanad

Allah Ta’ala ne Surah Al-Ma’idah mein irshad farmaya:
“Innama waliyyukumullahu wa rasooluhu wallazeena aamanu allazeena yuqeemus-salata wa yu’toonaz-zakata wa hum raaki’oon” (Surah Al-Ma’idah, Ayat: 55)

Is muqaddas ayat ke nuzool ke pas manzar mein tamaam mu’tabar mufasireen aur muhaddiseen ka ittefaq hai ke yeh ayat khas taur par fazilat e Imam Ali ki shaan mein nazil hui. Yeh woh tareekhi lamha tha jab ek saail ne Masjid-e-Nabwi mein madad maangi to namaaz ke dauraan rukoo ki haalat mein hi Hazrat Ali alaihis salam ne apni qeemti angothi khamoshi se us saail ki taraf barha kar ata farma di.

Tafseeli Jaiza: Ayat-e-Wilayat ke Nuzool ke Aasaar

Hazrat Imam Muhammad Baqir Alaihis Salam ki Riwayat
Yeh riwayat fazilat e Imam Ali ki sab se muqaddas tareekhi sanad mein se hai. Hazrat Imam Baqir alaihis salam farmate hain ke Yahudion ke aik giroh ne Islam qabool kiya. Un mein Abdullah bin Salam, Asad, Sa’labah aur Ibn Sawriya jaisay jalil-ul-qadar afrad sar-e-fehrist thay. Yeh log Rasool Khuda ﷺ ki khidmat mein haazir hue aur unhon ne arz kiya: “Ya Rasool Allah! Hazrat Mola ne Hazrat Yusha bin Noon ko apna jaanasheen muqarrar kiya tha, aap ke baad hamara sarparast kaun hai?”

Is waqt yeh ayat “Innama waliyyukumullahu wa rasooluhu” nazil hui. Phir Rasool Khuda ﷺ ne farmaya: “Utho aur masjid ki taraf chalo.” Jab masjid ke qareeb pahunche to wahan se ek saail nikal raha tha. Anhasrat ﷺ ne us se farmaya: “Kya tujhe kisi ne kuch ata kiya hai?” Us ne kaha: “Ji haan, mujhe yeh angothi mili hai.” Anhasrat ﷺ ne farmaya: “Yeh angothi kis ne ata ki hai?

” Saail ne kaha: “Mujhe yeh angothi us shakhs ne di hai jo namaaz parh raha tha.” Aap ﷺ ne farmaya: “Jab us ne tujhe angothi di thi to woh kis haalat mein tha?” Saail ne kaha: “Us ne haalat-e-rukoo mein mujhe yeh angothi di thi.” Rasool Akram ﷺ ne takbeer kahi aur aap ke sath ahal-e-masjid ne bhi takbeer kahi. Rasool Akram ﷺ ne farmaya: “Ali ibn Abi Talib mere baad tumhara wali aur sarparast hai.”

Haazireen ne kaha: “Hum Allah ke rabb honay, Islam ke deen honay, Muhammad ﷺ ke nabi honay aur Ali alaihis salam ke wali honay par raazi hain.” Allah Ta’ala ne us waqt yeh ayat nazil farmai:
“Wa man yatawallallaaha wa rasoolahu wallazeena aamanoo fa inna hizballaahi hum ul ghaaliboon” (Surah Al-Ma’idah: Ayat 56)

Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari ki Riwayat
Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari bayan karte hain ke hum Masjid-e-Nabawi mein Rasool Khuda ﷺ ki khidmat mein baithey hue thay. Is asna mein ek a’raabi aaya, jis ke sar ke baalon mein khak thi aur us ne phatay purane kapde pehan rakhe thay. Us ki shakal o soorat se gurbat o muflisi tapak rahi thi. Us ke humraah us ke kamsin bachay thay. Woh Nabi Akram ﷺ ke samne khara hua aur us ne apni gurbat ka izhar in ash’aar se kiya:

Rasool Akram ﷺ ne us ki dastan-e-gurbat suni to aap ne bohat ziyada girya kiya aur apne Sahabah se farmaya: “Aey giroh-e-Muslimin! Allah ne tumhein sawab kamane aur ajar-e-azeem haasil karne ka mauqa faraham kiya hai. Jo us ki haajat rawai karega, to Khuda use jannat mein Ibrahim Khalilullah ke mehel ke samne jagah ata karega. Tum mein se kaun hai jo is ghareeb ki ghamgusari kare?” Bazm-e-Sahabah mein se kisi ne koi jawab nahi diya. Is waqt Hazrat Ali alaihis salam masjid ke aik konay mein namaaz-e-nawafil ada kar rahe thay.

Aap ne apne haath se a’raabi ko ishara kiya. Woh aap ke qareeb aaya. Aap ne haalat-e-rukoo mein apni angothi utaar kar us ke supurd ki. A’raabi ne angothi li aur wapas chala gaya. Is waqt Jibraeel Ameen anhasrat ﷺ par nazil hue aur kaha ke aap ka parwardigar aap ko salaam kehta hai aur us ne aap par yeh ayat nazil farmai hai:

“Innama waliyyukumullahu wa rasooluhu wallazeena aamanu allazeena yuqeemus-salata wa yu’toonaz-zakata wa hum raaki’oon”

Is waqt anhasrat ﷺ uthey aur farmaya: “Aey giroh-e-Muslimin! Aaj ke din tum mein kis ne aisa nek kaam kiya hai ke Khuda ne use apna wali muqarrar kiya hai?” Sahabah ne arz kiya: Hum ne to kuch bhi nahi kiya, albatta aap ke chacha zaad bhai aur damad Ali alaihis salam ne haalat-e-rukoo mein saail ko angothi di hai. Nabi Akram ﷺ ne farmaya: “Jannat ke woh baala khanay Ali ke liye wajib ho gaye hain.” Phir aap ne Sahabah ke samne Ayat-e-Wilayat ki tilawat farmai.

Dusra Pehlu: Sahih Hadithon ki Roshni mein Fazilat e Imam Ali

Hadith-e-Manzilat: Ek Bunyadi Sanad

Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: “Anta minni bi manzilati Haroon min Musa illa annahu la nabiyya ba’di” (Sahih Bukhari)
“Tum meri nazar mein usi maqam par ho jis par Haroon, Musa ke nazdeek thay, siwaye is ke ke mere baad koi nabi nahi.”

Yeh hadith fazilat e Imam Ali ki woh azeem daleel hai jo us ke khass maqam o martaba ko zahir karti hai. Is hadith mein fazilat e Imam Ali ko Quran ki roshni mein sabit kiya gaya hai.

Hadith-e-Safeenah: Ummat ke Liye Rehnumai

Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: “Innama masali ahli baiti ka safinat-e-Nooh, man rakibaha naja wa man takhallafa anha ghariq”
“Be-shak meri ahal-e-bait ki misaal Nooh ki kashti ki si hai, jis ne us mein sawaar hona, nijaat pa gaya aur jis ne us se alag rehna, garq ho gaya.”

Yeh hadith bhi fazilat e Imam Ali ke haq mein aik azeem daleel hai.

Hadith-e-Saqalain: Quran aur ahl e bayt ka Ittehad

Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: “Inni tarikt-u feekum-us-saqalain, kitab-Allahi wa itrati, ahla baiti, lan tazillu ma in tamassaktum bihima hatta tauruda alayyal hauz”
“Main tumhare darmiyan do wazeh cheezein chodh kar ja raha hoon, Allah ki kitab aur meri itrat, mere ahal-e-bait, jab tak tum in dono ko mazbooti se pakde rahoge, hargiz gumraah nahi ho sakte.”

Teesra Pehlu: Tareekhi Waqeat aur Fazilat e Imam Ali

Ghazwa-e-Khandaq: Umar ibn Abdul Aziz ka Qoul

Ghazwa-e-Khandaq mein jab fazilat e Imam Ali ne Amr ibn Abd Wudd ko shahid kiya to Rasool Allah ﷺ ne farmaya: “Barakatullahi alaika ya Ali, ma aqdala aqdeka”
“Allah ki barakat ho aap par aey Ali, aap ke har waqat ke aqde (hathiar chalane) ne aaj ke aqde ko maat de diya.”

Yeh waqea fazilat e Imam Ali ki jangjuana qabliyat ka azeem saboot hai.

Waqea-e-Mubahila: Ahal-e-Bait ki Azmat

Allah Ta’ala ne Surah Al-Imran ki ayat 61 mein fazilat e Imam Ali ko ahal-e-bait ke sath zahir kiya. Jab Nasara-e-Najran ne mubahila ki daawat di to Rasool Allah ﷺ ne “fazilat-e-Imam Ali”, Hazrat Fatima, Hazrat Hasan aur Hazrat Husain alaihim us-salam ko apne sath le ja kar “fazilat-e-Imam Ali” ke maqam ko zahir kiya.

Chautha Pehlu: Khulfa-e-Rashideen aur Sahaba ki Riwayat mein Fazilat e Imam Ali

Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq radhiyallahu anhu farmate hain: “Ana satar min ashareen fi al-jannah, wa Ali sayyiduhum”
“Main jannat ke das logon mein se ek hoon aur Ali un ke sardar hain.”

Yeh qoul fazilat e Imam Ali ke maqam ki gawaahi deta hai.

Hazrat Umar Farooq ka Aitraaf

Hazrat Umar Farooq radhiyallahu anhu ne mukhtalif mauqon par fazilat e Imam Ali ka aitraaf kiya. Woh farmate thay: “La aqda lil masa’il illa bi Ali”

Hazrat Usman Ghani ka Qoul

Hazrat Usman Ghani radhiyallahu anhu farmate thay: “Ma aqbalat al-ummah illa bi Ali”

Paanchwan Pehlu: Aseer-e-Zaman Shakhsiyat ke Hawale se Fazilat-e-Imam Ali

Ilm aur Danish ke Maidan mein Fazeelat

Fazilat e Imam Ali ka ilm o danish ka maidan bhi nihayat wus’at rakhta hai. Aap ko “Bab-e-Madinatul Ilm” (Ilm ke shehar ka darwaza) kaha gaya. Hazrat Abdullah ibn Abbas radhiyallahu anhu farmate hain: “Kunta idha ataina al-hadith an Ali, lam nazaad anhu shai’an”
“Main jab bhi Ali se hadith sunta, to us mein koi izafa nahi kar pata.”

Adal o Insaf ka Pehlu

Fazilat e Imam Ali ne apne pooray ilm o amal mein adal o insaf ko sab se ooncha maqam diya. Aap ka farman hai: “Al-adl hayat-un-nufoos”
“Adal nafsoon ki hayat hai.”

Khatima

Fazilat e Imam Ali ka yeh jaamai tajziya is baat ki gawaahi deta hai ke Hazrat Ali alaihis salam ka maqam o martaba na sirf Quran o Sunnat mein sabit hai balke tareekh ke saaf aurat aur sahih riwayat mein bhi maujood hai. Un ki shakhsiyat har pehlu se mukammal thi – ibadat guzari mein, jihad mein, ilm mein, adal o insaf mein aur khidmat-e-khalq mein.

Yeh fazilat e Imam Ali ka woh azeem karishma hai jo har daur ke musalman ke liye rehnumai ka sarmaya hai. Un ki zindagi ka har pehlu humein yeh sikhata hai ke haqiqi eman woh hai jo ibadat ke muqaddas lamhaat mein bhi insaniyat ki khidmat se jura rahe aur apni zaat se ziyada dusron ki zaroorat ko ahmiyat de.

Dua

Allah Ta’ala hum sab ko fazilat e Imam Ali ki haqiqat ko samajhne ki taufeeq ata farmaye aur un ki see
