The Truly Blessed and Truly Wretched


He said: Abul Hasan Ali b. Bilal al-Mahlabi reported to me from Ali b. Abdullah b. Asad al-Isfehani, who reported from Ibrahim b. Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Abdul Rahman b. Abi Hashim, who reported from Yahya b. al-Husain al-Bijilli, from Abu Haroon al-Abdi, from Zadhan, who reported from Salman al-Farsi - may Allah bless him with mercy, that:

The Messenger (s..w.w.) of Allah (s.w.t.), peace be upon him, once appeared on the day of Arafah and said: "O, people, surely Allah glorified Himself because of you on this day, so that He may pardon you generally and ------------".

" Then he said: "Come near me, O Ali." So Ali drew near. Then the Prophet took him by his hand and said: 

"Surely, the blessed, completely and truly blessed is the one who obeyed you and loved you after I have gone. And surely, the wretched, completely and truly wretched is the one who disobeyed you, and showed his hostility after I have gone."

(Al-Amali Shaikh Mufeed: The Twentieth Assembly Hadees No. 3)
