The Holy Prophet (S.A.W) said to his daughter Fatimah (S A )
They are people of that household whom Allah has chosen for the Hereafter instead of this world
Allah Tabarak Wa T‘AIa selected His Messenger and made him a Nabi and a Rasul, chose Fatimah's husband and commanded His Messenger to make him his brother. vizier, successor and caliph of his Ummah
Fatimah's father is the best amongst all Prophets and Messengers and her husband is the best among viziers Fatimah will be the first one to meet the Messenger of Allah.
Allah chose Fatimah and eleven men from her and her husband's (who is the brother of the Messenger of Allah) children.
Fatlmah is the leader of the women of Paradise and both her sons (Al Hasan and Al Husayn) are the leader of the youths of Paradise, and the Messenger, his brother and the eleven lmams, who are his successors till the Day of Judgement are all Guides and are themselves Guided.
After Ali, among all the successors, the first one is Hasan the second is Husayn, after whom the nine are from Husayn's children.
Allah has given Fatimah the status that she has been married to the one who is the best in the entire Ummah and the best in the whole household.
All has eight very shining wonders and such merits that no other human being
possessed.
Allah has bestowed seven such merits to the Messenger and his -ahlulbayt that He has not given to anyone from the beginning to the end.
The Messenger of Allah made his will to Ali:
Hazrat Ali (a.s) will face a lot of harshness from Quraysh who will overpower and harass him. lf he finds helpers to fight against them then he should fight, it he does not find helpers then he should be patient and save his blood.
Ali's status to the Messenger of Allah is like the status of Haroon to Musa. Ali should follow the path of Haroon.
