حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عبد الرحمن المقري، قال: حدثنا أبو عمرو محمد بن جعفر المقري الجرجاني، قال: حدثنا أبو بكر محمد بن الحسن الموصلي ببغداد، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عاصم الطريفي، قال: حدثنا أبو زيد عياش بن يزيد بن الحسن بن علي الكحال مولى زيد بن علي، قال: حدثنا أبي - يزيد بن الحسن - قال: حدثني موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام قال: [قال الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام:] من صلى على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فمعناه أني أنا على الميثاق والوفاء الذي قبلت حين قوله: ألست بربكم قالوا بلى.

1. We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Abdul-Rahman al-Maqarri, that he said: We were told by Abu Amru, Muhammed bin Ja’far al-Maqarri al-Jarjani, that he said: We were told by Abu Bakr, Muhammed bin Hasan al-Mosuli in Baghdad, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin ‘Asim al-Turayfi, that he said: We were told by Abu Zaid, ‘Ayyash bin Yazid bin Hasan bin Ali al-Kahhal, the servant of Zaid bin Ali, that he said: We were told by my father, Yazid bin Hasan, that he said: I was told by Musa bin Ja’far, peace be upon them both, that he said: Al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, said: The one who (recites the prayer in which one) sends blessings upon the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, its meaning is: Indeed, I am on the covenant and the loyalty which I have accepted during His saying: «Am I not your Lord» to which they said: «Sure».

حدثنا أبي - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد ابن محمد بن عيسى، قال: حدثنا العباس بن معروف، عن عبد الله بن المغيرة، قال: حدثنا أبو حفص العبدي، قال: حدثنا أبو هارون العبدي ، عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إذا سألتم الله لي فسلوه الوسيلة. فسألنا النبي صلى الله عليه وآله عن الوسيلة. فقال: هي درجتي في الجنة وهي ألف مرقاة، ما بين المرقاة إلى المرقاة حضر الفرس الجواد شهرا وهي ما بين مرقاة جوهر إلى مرقاة زبرجد إلى مرقاة ياقوت إلى مرقاة ذهب إلى مرقاة فضة فيؤتى بها يوم القيامة حتى تنصب مع درجة النبيين فهي في درجة النبيين كالقمر بين الكواكب فلا يبقى يومئذ نبي ولا صديق ولا شهيد إلا قال: طوبى لمن كانت هذه الدرجة درجته. فيأتي النداء من عند الله عز وجل يسمع النبيين وجميع الخلق: هذه درجة محمد. فاقبل أنا يومئذ متزرا بريطة من نور على تاج الملك وإكليل الكرامة وعلي ابن أبي طالب أمامي وبيده لوائي وهو لواء الحمد مكتوب عليه " لا إله إلا الله، المفلحون هم الفائزون بالله " فإذا مررنا بالنبيين قالوا: هذان ملكان مقربان لم نعرفهما ولم نرهما وإذا مررنا بالملائكة قالوا: نبيين مرسلين. حتى أعلو الدرجة وعلي يتبعني حتى إذا صرت في أعلى درجة منها وعلي أسفل مني بدرجة فلا يبقى يومئذ نبي ولا صديق ولا شهيد إلا قال: طوبى لهذين العبدين ما أكرمهما على الله تعالى! فيأتي النداء من قبل الله عز وجل يسمع النبيين والصديقين والشهداء والمؤمنين: هذا حبيبي محمد وهذا وليي علي، طوبى لمن أحبه. وويل لمن أبغضه وكذب عليه. فلا يبقى يومئذ أحد أحبك يا علي إلا استروح إلى هذا الكلام وابياض وجهه وفرح قلبه، ولا يبقى أحد ممن عاداك أو نصب لك حربا أو جحد لك حقا إلا اسود وجهه واضطربت قدماه. فبينا أنا كذلك إذا ملكان قد أقبلا إلي أما أحدهما فرضوان خازن الجنة، وأما الاخر فمالك خازن النار، فيدنو رضوان فيقول: السلام عليك يا أحمد. فأقول: السلام عليك أيها الملك، من أنت؟ فما أحسن وجهك وأطيب ريحك! فيقول: أنا رضوان خازن الجنة وهذه مفاتيح الجنة بعث بها إليك رب العزة فخذها يا أحمد. فأقول: قد قبلت ذلك من ربي فله الحمد على ما فضلني به [ربي] ادفعها إلى أخي علي بن أبي طالب [فيدفع إلى علي]. ثم يرجع رضوان فيدنو مالك فيقول: السلام عليك يا أحمد. فأقول: عليك السلام أيها الملك فما أقبح وجهك وأنكر رؤيتك! [من أنت؟] فيقول: أنا مالك خازن النار وهذه مقاليد النار بعث بها إليك رب العزة فخذها يا أحمد. فأقول: قد قبلت ذلك من ربي فله الحمد على ما فضلني به ادفعها إلى أخي علي بن أبي طالب [فيدفعها إليه]، ثم يرجع مالك، فيقبل علي ومعه مفاتيح الجنة ومقاليد النار حتى يقف بحجزة جهنم وقد تطاير شررها وعلا زفيرها واشتد حرها وعلي آخذ بزمامها فيقول له جهنم: جزني يا علي فقد أطفأ نورك لهبي فيقول لها علي: قري يا جهنم: خذي هذا واتركي هذا خذي عدوي واتركي وليي. فلجهنم يومئذ أشد مطاوعة لعلي من غلام أحدكم لصاحبه، فان شاء يذهبها يمنة وإن شاء يذهبها يسرة، ولجهنم يومئذ أشد مطاوعة لعلي فيما يأمرها به من جميع الخلائق.

1. We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad ibn Muhammed bin Isa, that he said: We were told by Abbas bin Ma’ruf, from Abdullah bin Mughaira, that he said: We were told by Abu Hafs al-‘Abdi, that he said: We were told by Abu Harun al-‘Abdi, from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: If you ask Allah for my sake, then ask Him about the Means. Then we asked the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, about the Means, so he said: It is my degree in Paradise, and it is a thousand stairs, between one stair to another stair is the running of the fast horse for a month, and it is what is between the stair of an element, to a stair of peridot, to a stair of ruby, to a stair of gold, to a stair of silver. They will be brought on the Day of Resurrection that they might be raised with the degree of Prophets. It is, among the degree of the Prophets, like the moon among planets. There will not remain on that day a Prophet, nor a truthful nor a martyr, except that he will say: Tuba iso for the one whose degree is this degree. Then the call will come from Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, which will be heard by the Prophets and all the creation: This is the degree of Muhammed. Then, on that day, I will come, wrapped in soft cloth of light, on the Crown of the Kingdom and Diadem of Dignity, while Ali ibn Abi Talib is front of me and in his hand is my Banner, that is the Banner of Praise on which it is written: «There is no god but Allah, the Successful are those who won with Allah». When we will pass by the Prophets, they will say: «These are two Angels brought near (to Allah) we do not know and whom we have not seen» and when we pass by the Angels, they will say: «Prophets who have been sent», and so, until I will raise through the degree and Ali will follow me until I become at the highest degree of it, while Ali is beneath me by one degree. There will remain, on that day, no Prophet, nor truthful nor martyr, except that he says: Tuba is for these two servants, how much are they dignified by Allah, Exalted is He! Then the call will come from Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, which will be heard by the Prophets, the truthful, the martyrs and the believers: This is My Beloved, Muhammed, and this is My Viceregent, Ali. Tuba is for the one who loves him, and woe to the one who hates him and lies about him. It will remain, on that day, none who loves you, O Ali, except that he finds comfort in this speech, his face is whitened and his heart is rejoiced, and it will remain none who antagonizes you, wages war against you or knowingly rejects your right, except that his face is darkened and his feet are disturbed. While I am as such, two Angels will approach me. As for one of them, he is Ridwan, the Guardian of Paradise, and as for the other, he is Malik, the Guardian of the Fire, and Ridwan will come near and say: Peace be upon you, O Ahmad. I will say: Peace be upon you, O Angel. Who are you? For how good is your face and delightful is your fragrance! Then he will say: I am Ridwan, the Guardian of Paradise, and these are the keys of Paradise; they were sent to you by the Lord of Honor, so take them, O Ahmad. Then I will say: I have, certainly, accepted that from my Lord, so, to Him is praise for what my Lord has preferred me with. I will give them to my brother, Ali bin Abi Talib, and so it will be given to Ali. Then Ridwan will return and Malik will come near and say: Peace be upon you, O Ahmad. I will then say: Upon you is peace, O Angle. How ugly is your face and horrid is your look. Who are you? He will say: I am Malik, the Guardian of the Fire, and these are the keys to the Fire; they were sent to you by the Lord of Honor, so take them, O Ahmad. Then I will say: I have, certainly, accepted that from my Lord, so, to Him is praise for what my Lord has preferred me with. I will give them to my brother, Ali bin Abi Talib, and so he will give it to him. Then Malik will return, and Ali will approach and with him are the keys to Paradise and the keys to the Fire, until he stands at the edge of the Fire, while its sparks fly away, its blaze heightens and heat intensifies, while Ali is holding by its ropes, to which Hell will say to him: Cut me off, O Ali, for indeed, your light has extinguished my flame. Then Ali will say to it: Be cold, O Hell, take him, and leave him; take my enemy, and leave my ally. Hell, on that day, will, indeed, be more conformable to Ali than the boy of one you to his man, who according to his wish, he will go right, and according to his wish, he will go left. Hell, on that day, will, indeed, be more conformable to Ali with regards to what he will order it to than all the creatures.

حدثنا أبي - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، قال: حدثني محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد اليقطيني، قال: حدثني يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن عبد الله ابن سنان عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام أنه قال: إن لله عز وجل حرمات ثلاث ليس مثلهن شئ: كتابه وهو حكمته ونوره، وبيته الذي جعله قبلة للناس لا يقبل من أحد توجها إلى غيره، وعترة نبيكم صلى الله عليه وآله.

1. We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, that he said: I was told by Muhammed bin Isa bin Ubaid al-Yaqteeni, that he said: I was told by Yunus bin Abdul-Rahman, from Abdullah ibn Sinan, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, that he said: Indeed, for Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, are three sanctities which there is nothing like: His Book, which is His Wisdom and Light; His House that He made a destination for the people, by which He accepts no orientation from anyone except (that it is performed) towards it; and the Family of your Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family.

حدثنا أبو محمد عمار بن الحسين - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا علي بن محمد بن عصمة، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد الطبري بمكة، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الفضل، عن محمد بن عبد الملك بن أبي الشوارب القرشي، عن ابن سليمان، عن حميد الطويل، عن أنس بن مالك، قال: كنت عند علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام في الشهر الذي أصيب فيه وهو شهر رمضان فدعا ابنه الحسن عليه السلام ثم قال: يا أبا محمد اعل المنبر فاحمد الله كثيرا، وأثن عليه، واذكر جدك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بأحسن الذكر، وقل: لعن الله ولدا عق أبويه، لعن الله ولدا عق أبويه، لعن الله ولدا عق أبويه، لعن الله عبدا أبق من مواليه، لعن الله غنما ضلت عن الراعي وانزل. فلما فرغ من خطبته ونزل اجتمع الناس إليه فقالوا: يا ابن أمير المؤمنين وابن بنت رسول الله نبئنا [الجواب] فقال: الجواب على أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام، فقال أمير المؤمنين: إني كنت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وآله في صلاة صلاها فضرب بيده اليمنى إلى يدي اليمنى فاجتذبها فضمها إلى صدره ضما شديدا ثم قال لي: يا علي، قلت: لبيك يا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، قال: أنا وأنت أبوا هذه الأمة، فلعن الله من عقنا، قل: آمين، قلت: آمين. ثم قال: أنا و أنت موليا هذه الأمة فلعن الله من أبق عنا، قل: آمين، قلت: آمين، ثم قال: أنا وأنت راعيا هذه الأمة فلعن الله من ضل عنا، قل: آمين، قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام: وسمعت قائلين يقولان معي: " آمين " فقلت: يا رسول الله ومن القائلان معي " آمين "؟ قال: جبرئيل وميكائيل عليهما السلام.

1. We were told by Abu Muhammed, Ammar bin Hussain, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Muhammed bin Isma, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed al-Tabari in Mecca, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Fadl, from Muhammed bin Abdul-Malik bin Abi’sh-Shawarib al-Qurashi, from Ibn Sulayman, from Hameed al-Tuweel, from Anas bin Malik, that he said: I was at the place of Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, during the month in which he was afflicted, that is the month of Ramadan, and he called for his son, Hasan, peace be upon him, and then said: O father of Muhammed, get on the pulpit, praise Allah much, commend Him, mention your grandfather, the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, by the best of mentioning, and say: May Allah curse a son who disobeys his parents, may Allah curse a son who disobeys his parents, may Allah curse a son who disobeys his parents! May Allah curse a slave who flees from his masters, may Allah curse a slave who flees from his masters, may Allah curse a slave who flees from his masters! May Allah curse sheep who strayed from the shepherd. Then step down. When he was finished with his sermon and stepped down, people gathered at him and said: O son of the Commander of the Believers, and son of the daughter of Allah’s Messenger, inform us of the answer. So he said: The answer is upon the Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him. Then the Commander of the Believers said: Indeed, I was with the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, in a prayer he had prayer. Then he hit with his right to his left hand, then he pulled them and joined it to his chest, a severe joining, and then he said to me: O Ali. I said: I am at your service, O Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family [1]. He said: Me and you are the two Fathers of this nation, so, may Allah curse the one who disobeys us. Say: Ameen. I said: Ameen. Then he said: Me and you are the two Masters of this nation, so, may Allah curse the one who flees from us. Say: Ameen. I said: Ameen. Then he said: Me and you are the two Shepherds of this nation, so, may Allah curse the one who strays away from us. Say: Ameen. I said: Ameen. The Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, said: And I heard two sayers say with me: Ameen. So I said: O Allah’s Messenger, and who are the sayers with me of «Ameen»? He said: Jibra’eel and Mika’eel, peace be upon them both.

حدثنا الحسن بن أحمد بن إدريس - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا أبي عن محمد ابن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، ويعقوب بن يزيد، ومحمد بن أبي الصهبان جميعا، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن أبان بن عثمان، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده عليهم السلام، قال: إن أعرابيا أتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فخرج إليه في رداء ممشق ، فقال: يا محمد لقد خرجت إلي كأنك فتى. فقال صلى الله عليه وآله: نعم يا أعرابي أنا الفتى، ابن الفتى، أخو الفتى. فقال: يا محمد أما الفتى فنعم، وكيف ابن الفتى وأخو الفتى؟ فقال: أما سمعت الله عز وجل يقول: " قالوا سمعنا فتى يذكرهم يقال له إبراهيم " فأنا ابن إبراهيم، وأما أخو الفتى فإن مناديا نادى في السماء يوم أحد " لا سيف إلا ذو الفقار ولا فتى إلا علي، فعلي أخي وأنا أخوه.

1. We were told by Hasan bin Ahmad bin Idrees, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by my father, from Muhammed ibn Hussain bin Abi’l-Khattab, and Ya’qoub bin Yazeed, and Muhammed bin Abi’s-Sibhan, all of them, from Muhammed bin Abi Umayr, from Aban bin Uthman, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, from his grandfather, peace be upon him, that he said: Indeed, an Arabian came to Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, and so he went out to him in red-dyed robe, and he said: O Muhammed, you have come out to me as if you are a young man. Then he, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Yes, O Arabian, I am the Young Man, son of the Young Man, brother of the Young Man. Then he said: O Muhammed, as for (that you are) the Young Man, then yes. But how (are you) the son of the Young Man and the brother of the Young Man? So he said: Have you not heard Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, saying: «They said: We heard a young man mentioning them, who is called Ibrahim» (21:60)? So, I am the son of Ibrahim, and as for (me being) the brother of the Young Man, a caller, indeed, cried from Heaven on the Day of Uhud: «There is no sword but Dhu’l-Faqar, and there is no Young Man but Ali». Hence, Ali is my brother and I am his brother.

أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن خالد البرقي، عن أبي قتادة القمي رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، قال: تذاكرنا أمر الفتوة عنده فقال: أتظنون أن الفتوة بالفسق والفجور؟! إنما المروءة والفتوة طعام موضوع، ونائل مبذول، وبر معروف، وأذى مكفوف. واما تلك فشطارة وفسق . ثم قال: ما المروءة؟ قلنا: لا نعلم. قال: المروءة والله أن يضع الرجل خوانه في فناء داره.

1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammed bin Khalid al-Barqi, from Abu Qutada al-Qummi, who ascribed it to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: We mentioned the matter of adolescence at his place, and so he said: Do you assume that adolescence is by grieve sinfulness and immorality? Manhood and adolescence are only a placed meal, a spent attainer, a good righteous matter and an abstained harm. As for that, it is slyness and grieve sin. Then he said: What is manhood? We said: We do not know. He said: Manhood is, by Allah, that a man places his desk at the end of his house.

[أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن خالد البرقي، عن أبي قتادة القمي رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام و] حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان العدل، قال: حدثنا أبو العباس أحمد بن يحيى بن زكريا القطان، قال: حدثنا بكر بن عبد الله بن حبيب، قال: حدثنا تميم بن بهلول، عن أبيه، قال: حدثنا أبو الحسن العبدي، عن سليمان بن مهران، عن عباية بن ربعي، قال: قلت: لعبد الله بن العباس لم كنى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عليا عليه السلام أبا تراب؟ قال: لأنه صاحب الأرض، وحجة الله على أهلها بعده، وبه بقاؤها وإليه سكونها، ولقد سمعت رسول الله عليه وآله يقول: إذا كان يوم القيامة ورأي الكافر ما أعد الله تبارك وتعالى لشيعة علي من الثواب والزلفى والكرامة قال: يا ليتني كنت ترابا. أي يا ليتني كنت من شيعة علي. وذلك قول الله عز وجل: " ويقول الكافر يا ليتني كنت ترابا ".

1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Ali bin Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Muhammed bin Khalid al-Barqi, from Abu Qutada al-Qummi, that he ascribed to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him. Also, we were told by Ahmad bin Hasan al-Qattan al-‘Adl, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Abbas, Ahmad bin Yahya bin Zakariya al-Qattan, that he said: We were told by Bikr bin Abdullah bin Habib, that he said: We were told by Tamim bin Buhlul, from his father, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Hasan al-‘Abdi, from Sulayman bin Mahran, from ‘Abaya bin Rab’I, that he said: I said to Abdullah bin Abbas: Why did the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, nickname Ali, peace be upon him, as the Father of Sand [1]? He said: Because is the Master of Earth, the Proof of Allah upon its people after him, by him is its remaining, and to him it is to keep it calm. I have, verily, heard Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, say: When the Day of Resurrection will be and the disbeliever sees what Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, has prepared for the Shi’a of Ali of rewards, nearness and dignity, he will say: I wish that I was sand. Meaning: I wish that I was from the Shi’a of Ali. That is the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And the disbeliever says: I wish that I was sand.» (78:40)

حدثنا علي بن عيسى المجاور- رضي الله عنه - في مسجد الكوفة قال: حدثنا علي بن محمد بن بندار، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن علي المقري، عن محمد بن سنان، عن مالك ابن عطية، عن ثوير بن سعيد، عن أبيه، سعيد بن علاقة، عن الحسن البصري، قال: صعد أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام منبر البصرة فقال: أيها الناس انسبوني، فمن عرفني فلينسبني و إلا فأنا انسب نفسي. أنا زيد بن عبد مناف بن عامر بن عمرو بن المغيرة بن زيد بن كلاب. فقام إليه ابن الكواء فقال له: يا هذا ما نعرف لك نسبا غير أنك علي بن أبي إن أبي سماني " زيدا " باسم جده " قصي " واسم أبي " عبد مناف " فغلبت الكنية على الاسم، و إن اسم عبد المطلب " عامر " فغلب اللقب على الاسم، واسم هاشم " عمرو " فغلب اللقب على الاسم، واسم عبد مناف " المغيرة " فغلب اللقب على الاسم وإن قصي " زيد " فسمته العرب مجمعا لجمعه إياها من البلد الأقصى إلى مكة فغلب اللقب على الاسم.

1. We were told by Ali bin Isa al-Mujawir, may Allah be pleased with him, in the Mosque of Kufa, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Muhammed bin Bandar, from his father, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Maqarri, from Muhammed bin Sinan, from Malik ibn ‘Atiya, from Thuwayr bin Sa’eed, from his father, Sa’eed bin ‘Ilaqa, from Hasan al-Basri, that he said: The Commander of the Believers, peace be upon him, stepped up the pulpit of Basra and said: O people, mention my lineage. Let he who knows me mention my lineage, otherwise, I will mention my lineage by myself. I am Zaid bin Abd-Manaf bin ‘Amer bin Amru bin Mughaira bin Zaid bin Kilab. Then Ibn al-Kawwa’ stood up to him and said to him: O you, we do not know for you any lineage except that you are Ali bin Abi Talib ibn Abdul-Muttalib bin Hashim bin Abd-Manaf bin Qusay bin Kilab. Then he said to him: O ignoble, indeed, my father named me Zaid, by the name of his grandfather, Qusay, and the name of my father is Abd-Manaf, then the nickname overtook the name, and indeed, the name of Abdul-Muttalib is ‘Amer, then the nickname overtook the name, and the name of Hashim is Amru, then the nickname overtook the name, and the name of Abd-Manaf is Mughaira, then the nickname overtook the name, and indeed, the name Qusayy is Zaid, then the Arabs named him jointly due to that he had gathered them from the farthest land to Mecca, then the nickname overtook the name.

Then Ibn al-Kawwa’ stood up to him and said to him: O you, we do not know for you any lineage except that you are Ali bin Abi Talib ibn Abdul-Muttalib bin Hashim bin Abd-Manaf bin Qusay bin Kilab.
