With all the sources we cited uptil now, it is clear that the fact that the verse under discussion was revealed in favour of Ali bin Abi Talib [as] is Mutawati (successive). Let us cite the definition of Mutwatir form of hadith from Sunni sources. Imam Jalaluddin Suyti records in 'Tadrib al-Rawi' Volume 2 page 174:
وقال الاصطخري اقله عشرة وهو المختار
Al-Estakhari said: 'The minimum limit is ten narrators and that is the chosen view'
Modern day Sunni scholar and the cheif of Islamic research center in Syria, Dr. Muhammad Habash (born in 1962) records in Sharh al-Umdah, Volume 1 page 44:
"The 'Mutwatir' is what has been narrated by ten or more"
Modern day Sunni scholar Ibrahim Abdulmuqtader states in Manzilat al-Sunnah, page 11:
أن يرويه في كل طبقة من طبقاته عدد كثير يبلغ حد التواتر وقد اختلف في أقل الكثرة على أقوال ، المختار أنه عشرة أشخاص أو تسعة وهو أن يروي الحديث تسعة من الصحابة وعنهم تسعة من التابعين وعنهم تسعة من أتباعهم ودواليك .
"To be narrated in every generation (tabaqa) a large number reach to Tawatur level, there is disagreement about the minimum number of the many, the chosen are ten persons or nine, which is that the tradition narrated by nine of the Sahaba and from them nine of Tabyeen and from them nine of their followers and so on."
We have seen that some Sunni commentators evidenced the sole reason behind the revelation was that descended in honour of Ali bin Abi Talib [as]. Whilst others offered different interpretations of this verse, they did not negate the possibility that it was specifically revealed for Ali bin Abi Talib [as] unlike the filthy attempt of Ansar.org.
We submitted as evidence, numerous narrations that state that the verse "Inna ma walliyo kumullah" was revealed in honour of Hadhrath Ali [as]. Ansar.Org lied by claiming that this incident can only be attributed to four narrators and seven chains (isnaad) and that are all weak in Isnad. We have narrated this event from thirty one narrators, among those the Sahaba are:
Ali bin Abi Talib (al-Mujam al-Awsat by Tabarani, Tarikh Dimashq, Marifat Uloom al-Hadith by Hakim, Marifat al-Sahaba by Abu Naeem al-Asbahani, Manaqib by ibn al-Maghazili, Manaqeb by Khuwarizmi, Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani).
Anas bin Malik (Faraed al-Semtain by al-Hamawi, Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani )
Al-Bara bin Azeb (Faraed al-Semtain by al-Hamawi)
Abu Dhar (Tafsir al-thalabi, Faraed al-Semtain by al-Hamawi, Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani)
Ammar bin Yasir (Faraed al-Semtain by al-Hamawi, Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani, ibn Mardwih)
Ibn Abbas (Tafsir al-Tabari, Asbab Nuzul al-Ayat by Wahidi, Manaqib by khuwarizmi, Manaqib by ibn al-Maghazili, Faraed al-Semtain by al-Hamawi, Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani ).
Jabir bin Abdullah al-Ansari (Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani).
Al-Miqdad bin al-Aswad (Shawahid al-Tanzil by al-Hasakani)
Abu Rafe'a (al-Mujam al-Kabir by Tabarani)
Abdullah bin Salam (Al-Riadh al-Nadhira, Dakhaer al-Uqba, Al-Mukhtar fi Manaked al-Khayar, Jame'a al-Usool)
While the Tabayeen and Taba Tabyeen who testified for the verse 5:55 includes:
Muhammad ibn al-Hanafia Umar ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib Zaid bin al-Hassan bin Ali bin Abi Talib Mujahid
Abu Saleh Atta Abi Ishaq Ibrahim bin Hadaba Hamid al-Tawil Abaya bin al-Rubey Saeed bin Jubair
Al-Dahak Tawous Ibn Juraij Abi al-Zubair Helal Al-Sedi Ali bin Abi Talha Utbah bin Abi Hakim
Salamah bin Kuhail Maymon bin Mehran
I just found this clip by accident. It is absolutely fantastic. The whole thing has to be listened to as well as the other clips especially for those who doubt in succership of Imam Ali AS. Good job, we need more videos like this that fully explain from the Quranic view why Imam Ali AS was chosen by GOD. GOD Bless ALL on earth, especially the peace loving, good people. Pls pass this around to your friends so they can be educated & neutralise the Wahhabi lies about Shias & Imam Ali AS followers.
