Imam Ali visited the grave of Rasul Allah after burying Fatima secretly, and said:
“Peace be upon you, O Rasul Allah on behalf of myself.. and peace be upon you on behalf of your daughter, and your visiter, and the inhabitant of the earth of your
spot [i.e, your house] and one whom Allah has chosen to quickly follow you [i.e, dying shortly after you]..”
Heartbreaking part of the passage 💔💔
Imam Ali tells the Prophet:
“Your daughter will inform you regarding the your ummah gaining the upperhand against her by stealing her right, so press her with questions and how she is doing.
For how much intense [emotions, thoughts]
Paining her chest [meaning her mind], which she did not find a way to let out”

“O Aba Muhammad, neither the speech of any of mankind nor bird nor livestock nor anything that has a soul is hidden from the Imam.
And whomever does not have these traits, he is not an Imam.”
Reminds me of this verse where Hafsa was shocked that Prophet was aware of her speech / actions with Aisha - which he received knowledge about from God
“And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?"
He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware." (66:3)

He never hid their speech from the Prophet - even if it’s something they said inside their hearts:
“And say within themselves, "Why does Allah not punish us
Reading today “Al-Intisar” by Al-Khayyat al-Mutazili (d. 933 CE)
The author responds to the arguments of the mutakalim Ibn al-Rawandi (then a Shi’i) who promotes Imamism and attacks Mutazili belief (particularly thise espoused by al-Jahiz)
Here are some interesting snippets:
Written in the era of al-Ghayba al-Sughra, it confirms some intrinsic aspects of Shi’ism was wholly crystallized.
Al-Khayyat states, “Al-Jahiz knew that the Rafida did not perform takfir on Ali ibn Abi Talib, al-Hasan, Husayn, Salman, al-Miqdad with 3 or 4 of the Sahaba.
But what is reported of them is that they perform takfir on the Muhajireen and Ansar, except 5 or 6 individuals.
Of course, I am doing this knowing that carbon dating, literary, inscription, mass transmission and such type of evidence has proven the Quranic text’s early 7th century origins. More elaboration later.
Anyway, let us begin.
