It is narrated by the books of Ahadith And this incident is famous and well-known Amongst the Marrikhun, amongst the historians and traditionists That this kalimat that Adam, peace be upon him, received from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Were the names of Ahl al-Kisa I will give you an example I will give you an example from these narrations From the books of the Amma, from the Mukhalifin The first hadith is from Al-Maghazali Al-Maghazali narrates from Ibn Abbas, he says I asked the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him With the peace and blessings of Allah, peace be upon him I asked him, what are the kalimat? What are the words that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Subhanahu wa ta'ala taught Adam That's right, he could be a Sunnah for us as well He said, Adam, ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala By the rights of Muhammad Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussein Adam, alayhi as-salam Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, by the rights of these five Muhammad and Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussein This is narrated in Haqq, volume 3, page 76 Now subhanallah, subhanallah that sometimes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes even the enemy utter words of Haqq For it's narrated by the biggest pillar of the Mukhalifin Umar ibn al-Khattab narrates his tradition Umar ibn al-Khattab narrates his tradition He said concerning the verses, when he was asked about these five verses He said, Adam said, I ask Allah by the right of Muhammad and his holy progeny, oh Allah forgive me Over here, over here By the fifth, by the seventh pillar, Adam, alayhi as-salam Repented with sincere dua and supplication He said, oh Allah, will you not forgive me by the right of those that you love by the right of those that you taught me to forgive and Allah forgave Adam Allah forgave Adam and Adam has given us now a sunnah A sunnah hasana, a beautiful tradition that we today, inshallah, should enact and practice We as well, we as well ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala by the right of Muhammad and al-Muhammad, alaykum as-salatu wa salam to forgive us our sins and to grant us eternal paradise and grant us their intercession My dear brothers and sisters This is only the beginning of our journey in Masjid al-Kufa because the same place where Adam, alayhi as-salam, did repentance and by the maqam of Jabra'il, alayhi as-salam which is as well behind me where Jabra'il came here and also prayed two units of prayer is the maqam of Amir al-Mu'minin, as-salamu alayhi alayhi It is narrated that the commander of the faithful, alayhi al-Nabi Ta'ala peace be upon him, would pray by the fifth and seventh pillar and when ma'ma alayhi as-salam was not here in the Masjid al-Hasan ibn Ali took his place at the seventh pillar but usually these two pillars, these two locations here behind me are the most holiest places in this holy mosque these two pillars, the footsteps of the commander of the faithful, alayhi as-salam were here the footsteps of al-Hasan ibn Ali are printed here the footsteps of al-Husayn ibn Ali, Shahid Karbala is here did you know that Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam states in a narration, he tells ya Ali lakulta fika maqalatan, kama qalatan nasara li'isabna mariam he said ya Ali, I were to say a description about you the same way that the nasara, the Christians said to iisabna mariam then I would say something about you, oh Ali that anywhere you would walk, the people would come and take blessings from your feet now just imagine and ponder and think what holy place do we stand on and I repeat again and say when you enter this masjid, please enter without most respect and purity because this masjid, this masjid has a sanctity like the masjid in Makkah like the masjid in Nabawi of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam what do you guys think Ali ibn Abi Talib, alayhi as-salam, used to pray what do you guys think of the prayer of Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him it is narrated that one day, one of the companions of the masjid came to him and he told him is this anything like the ibadah, the worship of your grandfather Amir al-Mu'mineen, peace be upon him
