About Imam Ali
Prophet Mohammad has declared Imam Ali (as) as his successor in different occasions, although this has been ignored by some of the prominent companions of Prophet after his demise.
The other occasion in which prophet has referred to Imam Ali (as) successorship was the event of Qadir in the last pilgrimage of prophet to Mecca on 18th of Zilhijja, tenth of Hijrah. In this event prophet asked the pilgrims to stop and asked those others that had past to came back in order to deliver Allah’s message to them. There he has started by this verse:
"O’ Prophet; proclaim the whole of that which hath been sent down to thee from thy Lord, for if thou dost it not, it will be as if thou hast not at all performed the duty of His Prophethood. And God will protect thee from evil men, verily God guideth not the unbelievers.” (5:67).
The talk about imam Ali (as) is branched to many fields, for every field of virtues, he (as) was the first to indulge himself into it, and what such few pages would do to talk about him and about his many virtues, and it is enough to be taken as a clue, the speech of Ibn Abbas, the rabbi of this nation with his knowledge, and it is narrated that a man asked Ibn Abbas and said: how many are the virtues of Ali ben Abi Talib, and I think they are 3,000... Then said Ibn Abbas: It is closer to 30,000 more than 3,000; and then he said: if trees were made into pens and the sea into an ink and humans and jinns were writers and calculators, they will never count the virtues of the prince of believers (as).
But for the wisdom the says, what cannot be reached all, its partitions are not to be left, and who missed the abundance should take what is left over, we are here seeking to show some of the eloquence that the imam had, to be an introduction to read this book, which contains pearls and wonderful things from the adages of the imam, that stand as a clue for his long experience in this field.
When the third caliph was killed, people gave their allegiance to Imam Ali and he was chosen as Caliph. During his caliphate of nearly four years and nine months, 'Ali followed, exactly, the way of the Prophet and gave his caliphate the form of a spiritual movement and renewal and began many different types of reforms. Naturally, these reforms were against the interests of certain parties that sought their own benefit. As a result, a group of the companions made a pretext of the death of the third caliph to raise their heads in opposition and began to revolt and rebel against 'Ali (A.S.).
Imam Ali (AS) was murdered at the age of 63, on Monday 21st of Ramadan 40 AH in in Kufah ( Iraq ). He was buried in an-Najaf al-Ashraf.
