Alí ibn Abi Talib, que Allah esté complacido con él, y el nombre de Abu Talib era cAbd Manaf — ibn cAbd al-Muttalib — y su nombre era Shaybah — ibn Hashim — y su nombre era cAmr — ibn cAbd Manaf — y su nombre era al-Mughirah — ibn Qusayy — y su nombre era Zaid — ibn Kilab ibn Murrah ibn Kacb ibn Lu'ayy ibn Ghalib ibn Fihr ibn Malik ibn Nadr ibn Kinanah. Era Abu'l-Hasan y era Abu Turab, una kunya que el Profeta ﷺ le dio.

Ali ibn Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him - and the name of Abu Talib was cAbd Manaf — ibn cAbd al- A-Muttalib - and his name was Shaybah - ibn Hashim - and his name was cAmr - Ibn cAbd Manaf - and his name was al-Mughirah - ibn Qusayy - and his name was Zaid - ibn Kilab ibn Murrah ibn Kacb ibn Lu’ayy ibn Ghalib ibn Fihr ibn Malik ibn Nadr ibn Kinanah. He was Abu’l-Hasan and he was Abu Turab, a kunyah which the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him.

Su madre era Fatimah bint Asad ibn Hashim y fue la primera mujer hashimí en dar a luz a un hijo hashimí. Ella aceptó el Islam y emigró.

His mother was Fatimah bint Asad ibn Hashim and she was the first Hashimi woman to give birth to a Hashimi child. She accepted Islam and emigrated.

cAlí, que Allah esté complacido con él, es uno de los diez de quienes se atestigua que están destinados al Jardín. Fue el hermano del Mensajero de Allah ﷺ por el vínculo de la fraternidad (establecido entre los Muhayirún y los Ansar en Medina); fue su yerno por su matrimonio con Fátimah, señora de las mujeres de los mundos, que Allah esté complacido con ella. Fue uno de los primeros en abrazar el Islam, uno de los sabios de linaje noble, uno de los más famosos por su valentía, uno de los mencionados por su abstinencia, uno de los reconocidos oradores de la jutba, y uno que memorizó todo el Corán y lo recitó ante el Profeta ﷺ; y Abu-l-Aswad ad-Du'alí y cAbd ar-Rahmán as-Sulamí, a su vez, lo recitaron ante él. Fue el primer califa de los Banu Hashim, el padre de los dos nietos (del Profeta ﷺ). Aceptó el Islam muy temprano; más aún, Ibn cAbbas, Anas, Zaid ibn Arqam, Salmán al-Farisí y todo un grupo de otros dijeron que fue el primero en aceptar el Islam, y algunos de ellos relatan que hay consenso al respecto.

cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, is one of the ten for whom it is witnessed that the Garden is for them, he was the brother of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, by the act of taking brothers (undertaken between the Muhajirun and the Ansar in Madinah); he was his son-in-law through (marriage to) Fatimah, the mistress of the women of the worlds, may Allah be pleased with her; he was one of the first to embrace Islam, one of the lordly learned ones, one of the famously courageous ones, one of those mentioned for being abstinent, one of the recognised deliverers of the khutbah, one who memorised the entire Qur’an and recited it before the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and Abu’l-Aswad ad-Du’ali and cAbd ar-Rahman as-Sulami, in turn, recited it before him. He was the first khalifah from Bani Hashim, the father of the two grandsons (of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace). He accepted Islam very early on; rather, Ibn cAbbas, Anas, Zaid ibn Arqam, Salman al-Farisi and a whole group of others said that he was the first to accept Islam, and some of them relate that there is a consensus on that.

Abu Ya'la narró que cAli, que Allah esté complacido con él, dijo: «El Mensajero de Allah ﷺ fue enviado (en su misión profética) un lunes, y yo acepté el Islam el miércoles». Su edad cuando aceptó el Islam era de diez años. Se ha dicho que tenía nueve, ocho, e incluso se ha dicho que era menos que eso. Al-Hasan ibn Zaid ibn al-Hasan dijo: Nunca adoró ídolos, por su juventud.

Abu Yacla narrated that cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, said, ‘The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sent (on his prophetic mission) on Monday and I accepted Islam on the Wednesday.’ His age when he accepted Islam was ten years old. It has been said that it was nine, eight, and it has even been said that it was less than that. Al-Hasan ibn Zaid ibn al-Hasan said: He didn’t ever worship idols, because of his youth.

Lo narró Ibn Sa'd.

Ibn Sacd narrated it.

Cuando él, ﷺ, le ordenó quedarse algunos días después de él en La Meca, para devolver algunas cosas que le habían sido confiadas y depositadas en custodia al Profeta ﷺ, y luego reunirse con su familia, así lo hizo.

When he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told him to remain some days behind after him in Makkah, in order to repay some things entrusted to and deposited with the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and for him then to join his family, he did that.

Estuvo presente con el Mensajero de Allah ﷺ en Badr, Uhud y todas las demás batallas, excepto en Tabuk, porque el Profeta ﷺ lo designó como su lugarteniente en Madinah. En todas las batallas hay historias famosas sobre él, y el Profeta ﷺ le confió el estandarte en muchas ocasiones.

He was present with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace, at Badr, Uhud and all the rest of the battles except for Tabuk, because the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, made him his deputy in Madinah. In all of the battles there are famous stories about him, and the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him the standard on many occasions.

Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab dijo: El día de Uhud, 'Ali recibió dieciséis heridas.

Sacid ibn al-Musayyab said: On the day of Uhud, cAli received sixteen wounds.

Está bien establecido en los dos libros Sahih que el Profeta ﷺ le entregó el estandarte el día de Jaibar y le anunció que la victoria llegaría por sus manos. Los relatos de su valentía y las historias sobre él en las batallas son célebres.

It is well established in the two Sahih collections, ‘That he, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, gave him the standard on the day of Khaybar and told that victory would be at his hands.’ The accounts of his bravery and stories of him in the wars are famous.

Ali, en su vejez, era robusto, calvo por la frente y con mucho cabello, de estatura mediana tirando a baja, de vientre abultado, con una barba extremadamente poblada que llenaba el espacio entre sus dos hombros y era blanca como si fuera algodón, y tenía la piel muy trigueña.

cAli, as an old man, was stout, balding over the forehead, with much hair, of middle stature inclining to shortness, full-bellied, with an extremely full beard which filled between his two shoulders and was white as if it were cotton, and he was very tawny complexioned.

Jābir ibn ʿAbdullāh dijo: ʿAlī cargó la puerta sobre su espalda el día de Jaybar hasta que los musulmanes subieron por ella y la conquistaron. Después intentaron arrastrarla, y solo cuarenta hombres podían cargarla. Lo narró Ibn ʿAsākir.

Jabir ibn cAbdullah said: cAli carried the gate upon his back on the day of Khaybar until the Muslims ascended upon it and conquered it. They tried to drag it afterwards and it was only possible for forty men to carry it. Ibn cAsakir narrated it.

Ibn Ishaq en al-Maghazi e Ibn cAsakir narraron de Abu Rafi que: cAli tomó la puerta de la fortaleza, la fortaleza de Jaybar; la usó como escudo para protegerse, y siguió en su mano mientras combatía hasta que Allah nos concedió la victoria. Ciertamente vi a ocho de nosotros esforzándonos por dar vuelta esa puerta, y no pudimos darle vuelta.

Ibn Ishaq in al-Maghazi and Ibn cAsakir narrated from Abu Rafic that: cAli took hold of the gate of the fortress, the fortress of Khaybar; he used it as a shield to protect himself, and it continued in his hand while he fought until Allah gave us the victory. I certainly saw eight of us struggling to turn that gate over and we were not able to turn it.

Al-Bujari relató en al-Adab que Sahl ibn Sa'd dijo: El nombre que más amaba cAli, que Allah esté complacido con él, era Abu Turab (“El de la tierra” o literalmente “Padre del polvo”), y se alegraba de que lo llamaran así. Nadie lo llamó Abu Turab salvo el Profeta ﷺ. Eso fue porque un día, cuando estaba enojado con Fatimah, salió y se recostó contra la pared de la mezquita; entonces llegó el Profeta ﷺ y su espalda estaba cubierta de polvo. El Profeta ﷺ comenzó a quitarle el polvo de la espalda diciendo: “Siéntate, Abu Turab”. Transmitió quinientos ochenta y seis hadices del Profeta ﷺ, que Allah le conceda Su bendición, a él y a su familia, y le conceda paz.

Al-Bukhari narrated in al-Adab that Sahl ibn Sacd said: The name that cAli, may Allah be pleased with him, loved the most was Abu Turab (‘Dusty One’ or literally ‘Father of Dust’), and he rejoiced in being called by it. No-one named him Abu Turab except for the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. That was because one day, when he was angry with Fatimah, he went out and laid down against the wall of the mosque, and then the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, came and his back was covered in dust. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, began to rub the dust from his back saying, ‘Sit down Abu Turab.’ He related five hundred and eighty-six hadith from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family and grant them peace.

Sus tres hijos, al-Hasan, al-Husáin y Muhammad ibn al-Hanafiyyah, transmitieron de él, al igual que Ibn Mascud, Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Ibn az-Zubair, Abu Musa, Abu Said, Zaid ibn Arqam, Yabir ibn Abdullah, Abu Umamah, Abu Hurairah, y un gran número de otros Compañeros y Seguidores, que Allah esté complacido con todos ellos.

His three sons, al-Hasan, al-Hussein and Muhammad ibn al- Hanafiyyah, related from him, and Ibn Mascud, Ibn TJmar, Ibn cAbbas, Ibn az-Zubayr, Abu Musa, Abu Sacid, Zaid ibn Arqam, Jabir ibn cAbdullah, Abu Imamah, Abu Hurayrah, and a great number of other Companions and Followers, may Allah be pleased with all of them.
