@Hadithoftheday Sayyidna Ali R.A
Sayyidna Ali R.A ruled for about 5 years.
Following the death of Uthman R.A, the senior companions insisted that Ali R.A to takke over as leader of the Islamic State. At the insistence of Az-Zubair & Talhah, he accepted the position as the 4th Right Guided Caliph

@Hadithoftheday Inaugural speech of Ali R.A as a caliph:

"I advise you O slaves of Allah to fear Allah, for god-fearing is the best advice Allah's slaves might give to one another. It is also the closest deed to His pleasure, and the most yielding of the best results in His sight. +

@Hadithoftheday No doubt, you are ordered to fear Allah and you have been created to be faithful.
So you should beware of Allah as the Almighty has warned you of Himself. Indeed, He has warned you of a strong violence if you do not comply to his order. Furthermore, you should fear Allah so much+

@Hadithoftheday You should do the good deeds without the intention of showing off or gaining good reputation. Whoever does the good deeds for anything other than for the sake of Allah, surely Allah would make him suffer from the evil consequences of what he has done. +

@Hadithoftheday Whoever does good deeds sincerely for the sake of Allah, certainly Allah would be his supporter and He would give him the goodness of his intention.
You should fear of Allah's punishment, for He has never created you vainly nor has He left anything of your affairs to no purpose+

@Hadithoftheday He made you, learnt your secrets, recorded your deeds, and then decreed your terms. So let not the world deceive you with its vain hopes, for no doubt, it is to beguile its people, and how haughty he is, who is deceived by it. The hereafter is the abode of eternal stay.

@Hadithoftheday Among all the Four caliphs. Uthman R.A ruled longest.
1. Sayyidna Abu Bakr R.A ruled for about 2 years.
2. Sayyidna Umer R.A ruled for about 10 years.
3. Sayyidna Uthman R.A ruled for about 12 years (The longest reign).
4. Sayyidna Ali R.A ruled for about 5 years.

@Hadithoftheday Ali R.A was paternal Cousin & son in law of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Ali R.A was the son of Abu Talib who was the paternal uncle of RasoolAllah ﷺ and later on Ali R.A became son in law of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ when he married the youngest daughter "Fatimah R.A" of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .

@Hadithoftheday Ali R.A's lineage to the Prophet ﷺ is exceptional for not only as Prophet ﷺ's cousin, he was also adopted into the Prophet ﷺ's household when he was young. Later on He became son in law of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ .
Ali R.A married Fatima R.A after battle of Badr.

@Hadithoftheday Ali R.A was subsequently bestowed the title of "brother" by the Prophet ﷺ upon migration to Medina as he undertook to care for his welfare. Ali R.A and Fatimah R.A had two sons Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn, and a daughter Umm Kulthoom.

@Hadithoftheday Simplicity was the key to Ali' R.A's existence. He was brought up in a simple & spare surrounding while he was in the Prophet' ﷺ household & he continued doing so when he married Fatimah.They lived on basic food like milk, barley bread,& at times had to go without food for days

@Hadithoftheday When Ali R.A became Caliph, he maintained the same austere lifestyle.
Despite being poor and living a meagre life, Ali R.A would never let any poor man at the door leave disappointed.

@Hadithoftheday Bravery was second nature to Ali R.A for he had fought valiantly at battles and emerged victorious, earning the title of the "Assadullah" meaning "Lion of Allah". He was a party to all the battles fought with the Prophet ﷺ at the helm except for one.

@Hadithoftheday Once Umar R.A complained to the Prophet ﷺ that Ali R.A never gave him salam when they met. The Prophet ﷺ summoned Ali R.A and asked him to explain his actions. +

@Hadithoftheday Ali R.A said that he had heard the Prophet ﷺ saying that whoever initiates a greeting to his brother in Islam first, will be given a palace in Jannah (a high reward), and he wanted that reward to be bestowed upon Umar R.A. +

@Hadithoftheday This was why every time he met Umar, he delayed his greeting, so that Umar R.A would initiate the greeting and be rewarded for it.
