The Glorious Quran Chapter 2 Verse 207
And among men there is one who selleth his self (soul) seeking the pleasure of Allah; and verily, Allah is affectionate unto His (faithful) servants.
It is held unanimous by the Scholars of the two Islamic schools, that this verse was revealed for Imam Ali (as), when he readily slept in the bed of the Prophet (pbuh) , when the latter to the will of Allah had to migrate from Mecca to Medina. The one who would agree to offer himself instead of the Holy Prophet (pbuh&f ) who was wanted by the enemy must essentially have
- The safety of the Prophet (pbuh&f) preferred to his own safety
- Implicit faith in the duty of a man to earn the pleasure of the Almighty Allah and His Prophet Muhammad (pbuh&f), at any cost, even at the cost of his own life
- The courage of surrendering himself willingly with the utmost peace of mind, to sleep under the swords, ready to fall upon him
- The confidence and faith in Allah's protection
And on the night of Hijrah, Allah the glorious revealed to Jibrail and Mikail I have eshtablished brotherhood between you two and have ordained the life of one longer than the life of the other. Now, are you willing to make a present of the extra length of life to the other?
But each prefered the longer life for himself. Then Allah revealed
Why not follow the example of Ali ibn Abu Talib. I have established brotherhood between him and Muhammad (pbuh&f). He is now sleeping on the bed of Muhammad in order to save his life by sacrificing his own. Now descend both of you to the earth and protect him from his enemies.
Both the angels descended. Jibrail took up his position near Ali's head and Mikail near his feet. Jibrail was crying out aloud Excellent. Excellent. O son of Abu Talib! There is none like you. Allah is making boast of you before the angels.
And it was on this very occasion that the above verse was revealed.
Imam Ali (as) composed about this incident (poetry)
I staked my life for the man who was the best of all those
who circumambulated the Ancient House and the Sacred Stone!
