3 prominent Virtues of Imam Ali (as)

This is a very well known narration from Sahih Muslim that says, when Moawiya bin Abu Sufyan used to appoint a Governor, he used to give orders to his Governors to curse on Imam Ali in mosques and public places. When he appointed Sa'ad bin ABi Waqas he ordered him to do such thing.>>>

Sa,ad bin Abi Waqas said there are three virtues of Imam Ali I cannot do so, Please read those 3 promonent virtues of Imam Ali in this narration.>>>

Amir b. Sa'd b. Abi Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that Muawiya b. Abi Sufyin appointed Sa'd as the Governor and said: What prevents you from abusing Abu Turab (Hadrat 'Ali), whereupon be said: It is because of three things which I remember Allah's Messenger (PBUH) having said about him that I would not abuse him and even if I find one of those three things for me, it would be more dear to me than the red camelg. I heard Allah's Messenger (PBUH) say about 'Ali as he left behind hrin in one of his campaigns (that was Tabuk). 'All said to him: Allah's Messenger, you leave me behind along with women and children. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (PBUH) said to him: Aren't you satisfied with being unto me what Aaron was unto Moses but with this exception that there is no prophethood after me. And I (also) heard him say on the Day of Khaibar: I would certainly give this standard to a person who loves Allah and his Messenger and Allah and his Messenger love him too. He (the narrator) said: We have been anxiously waiting for it, when he (the Holy Prophet) said: Call 'Ali. He was called and his eyes were inflamed. He applied saliva to his eyes and handed over the standard to him, and Allah gave him victory. (The third occasion is this) when the (following) verse was revealed:" Let us summon our children and your children." Allah's Messenger (PBUH) called 'Ali, Fitima, Hasan and Husain and said: O Allah, they are my family.>>>

This is a very well proven fact (unfortunately) that Moawiya started cursing on Imam Ali in mosques (Friday and Eid sermons), It remained for many decays until the time of Umar bin Abdul Aziz (Ummayad caliph), he stopped it.>>>

This is also a proven reality that along with cursing on Imam Ali (as) Moawiya fought war with Imam Ali, thousands of people got killed. We discussed these things in our articles, we cannot talk much in here about Moawiya's enmity with Imam Ali.>>>
