80. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Tha’albat Bin Maymoun, from Aby Amiyya Yusuf Bin Sabit Bin Abu Saeeda, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah  having said when they came up to him and said, ‘But rather, we love you  due to your  nearness to the Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj), and for what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Obligated from your  rights. We do not love you  for the sake of the world for getting a share of it from you . But (we love you ) only for the Sake of Allah (azwj) and the House of the Hereafter and that the man from among us would be able to correct his Religion’. So Abu Abdullah  said: ‘You have spoken the truth, you have spoken the truth’. Then he  said: ‘The one who loves us  is as if he is with us , or will come with us  on the Day of Judgement like this’ – then he  joined the two forefingers, then said – ‘By Allah (azwj)! If the man were to Fast during the day, and stand up (for Prayer) during the night, then meets Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic without our  Wilayah, (the People  of the Household) he then would be facing Him (azwj) (in such that) Allah (azwj) would either be Unhappy with him or Angry against him’. Then he  said: ‘And that is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[9:54] The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are: that they reject Allah and His Rasool; that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they offer contributions unwillingly [9:55] Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this world’s life and (that) their souls may depart while they are unbelievers” Then he  said: ‘And such is that belief that the (bad) deed neither had affected it adversely nor is that disbelief that the (good) deed had provided any profit to it’. Then he  said; ‘You should become (believers in) Oneness (of Allah (azwj)) for the Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj) had called the people to the Oneness (of Allah (azwj)) but they did not answer him ﷺ, and the first one who had came forward to him ﷺ was Ali  Bin Abu Talib , and the Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj) said: ‘You  are from me ﷺ of the status which Haroun  had from Musa  except that there is no Prophet  after me ﷺ’.
