Quran states in Sura 3, verse 61 that Ali (AS) is like the self of the Prophet وأنفسنا وأنفسكم. Say: (O Muhammad): Come, let us call our sons and your sins, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. The Prophet brought Ali as himself. This means that Ali's status is the greatest after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
The Prophet (SAWA) said to Ali (AS): O Ali, you are from me and I am from you.
- Saheeh Al-Bukhari , Volume 5, page 22.
- Musnad Ahmed ibn Hanbal 1; 98.
- Sunan Al-Bayhaqi ,V.8, P.5.
- Al-Mustadrak Ala Al-Saheehain by Al-Haakim Al-Nisbouri, V.3, P.120.
-Al-Khasaa'iss by Al-Nasaa'i, page 19. And many other Sunni books of Hadeeth.
'This prophetic statement is very clear that Ali is from the Prophet and the Prophet is from Ali. No prophet was having such high status from the Proohet Muhammad (SAWA).
Wassalam.
I have never seen such narration. Please ask those who claim it to provide its reference so that we can check it and research the authenticity of the narrators.
Other than the holy Quran, we do not have a book that is completely authentic, from cover to cover. Even our early hadith books like al-Kafi, etc, are to be individually evaluated and scrutinised by experts of hadith grading.
The great book Bihar al-Anwar, by al-'Allamah al-Majlisi (q.s.) is no exemption as well. As for percentage or proportion, that cannot be defined as a whole, because each scholar could have different methodology of grading authenticity, and other related issues to hadith grading.
In every field of knowledge, reasonable persons follow the highly knowledgeable experts in that field. It is the logic of life that the less knowing must refer to the most knowing. It is in medicine, engineering, law, etc and no one objects on it at all. Why some people doubt it when it comes to religious knowledge? This doubt is illogical. Allah is Quran ordered to refer to those who are more knowledgeable.(Sura Al-Nahl, verse 43 and Sura Al-Angiaa', verse 7 and Sura Faaturm verse 14).
Following the verdict of the Marje' is the way for people to follow the authentic evidence derived by the highly learned experts in Islamic knowledge. Those who doubt Taqleed do not have any other way to know the evidence because they themselves are not experts in Islamic knowledge. Some of them follow less knowledgeable persons instead of following more knowledgeable which is type of injustice.
