Ali ibn Abi Thalib, semoga Allah meridainya - dan nama Abu Thalib adalah cAbd Manaf - bin cAbd al-Muttalib - dan namanya adalah Shaybah - bin Hashim - dan namanya adalah cAmr - bin cAbd Manaf - dan namanya adalah al-Mughirah - bin Qusayy - dan namanya adalah Zaid - bin Kilab bin Murrah bin Kacb bin Lu'ayy bin Ghalib bin Fihr bin Malik bin Nadr bin Kinanah. Ia dijuluki Abu al-Hasan dan Abu Turab, sebuah kunyah yang diberikan kepadanya oleh Nabi ﷺ.

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.

Ibunya adalah Fatimah binti Asad bin Hasyim, dan dia adalah wanita Hasyimi pertama yang melahirkan anak Hasyimi. Dia menerima Islam dan berhijrah.

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.

cAli, semoga Allah meridhainya, adalah salah satu dari sepuluh orang yang disaksikan bahwa mereka akan masuk Surga. Ia adalah saudara Rasulullah ﷺ melalui ikatan persaudaraan (yang dilakukan antara kaum Muhajirin dan kaum Anshar di Madinah). Ia adalah menantu beliau ﷺ karena menikah dengan Fatimah, penghulu wanita seluruh alam, semoga Allah meridhainya. Ia termasuk orang pertama yang memeluk Islam, termasuk para ulama yang agung, termasuk orang-orang yang terkenal keberaniannya, termasuk mereka yang disebut sebagai orang yang zuhud, termasuk para penyampai khutbah yang diakui, dan orang yang menghafal seluruh Al-Qur'an dan membacanya di hadapan Nabi ﷺ. Abu al-Aswad ad-Du'ali dan Abdurrahman as-Sulami, secara bergantian, juga membacakannya di hadapannya. Ia adalah khalifah pertama dari Bani Hasyim, ayah dari dua cucu (Nabi ﷺ). Ia memeluk Islam sejak dini; bahkan Ibnu Abbas, Anas, Zaid bin Arqam, Salman al-Farisi, dan sekelompok lainnya mengatakan bahwa ia adalah orang pertama yang memeluk Islam, dan sebagian dari mereka meriwayatkan bahwa hal itu telah menjadi kesepakatan.

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 meriwayatkan bahwa 'Ali, semoga Allah meridhainya, berkata, "Rasulullah ﷺ diutus (untuk menjalankan misi kenabiannya) pada hari Senin, dan aku memeluk Islam pada hari Rabu." Usianya ketika memeluk Islam adalah sepuluh tahun. Ada yang mengatakan sembilan, delapan, bahkan ada pula yang mengatakan kurang dari itu. Al-Hasan bin Zaid bin al-Hasan berkata: Ia tidak pernah menyembah berhala, karena masa mudanya.

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.

Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkannya.

Ibn Sacd narrated it.

Ketika beliau ﷺ memerintahkannya untuk tinggal beberapa hari di Makkah setelah kepergian beliau, guna mengembalikan sebagian barang titipan dan simpanan yang ada pada Nabi ﷺ, kemudian menyusul keluarganya, maka ia pun melaksanakannya.

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.

Dia hadir bersama Rasulullah ﷺ dalam perang Badar, Uhud, dan seluruh peperangan lainnya kecuali Tabuk, karena Nabi ﷺ menjadikannya sebagai wakilnya di Madinah. Dalam setiap peperangan itu terdapat kisah-kisah masyhur tentangnya, dan Nabi ﷺ memberikan panji kepadanya pada banyak kesempatan.

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 berkata: Pada hari Uhud, 'Ali menerima enam belas luka.

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

Telah dikukuhkan dalam kedua kitab Sahih, bahwa Nabi ﷺ memberikan panji pada hari Khaibar dan mengabarkan bahwa kemenangan akan diraih di tangannya. Kisah-kisah tentang keberaniannya dan cerita-cerita tentang dirinya dalam peperangan sudah sangat masyhur.

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, ketika sudah menjadi orang tua, bertubuh gemuk, dahinya botak, rambutnya masih banyak, tinggi badannya sedang cenderung pendek, perutnya besar, dan janggutnya sangat lebat hingga memenuhi ruang di antara kedua bahunya. Janggutnya putih seperti kapas, dan kulitnya sangat kecokelatan.

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.

Jabir bin Abdullah berkata: Ali memikul pintu gerbang di atas punggungnya pada hari Khaibar hingga kaum Muslimin naik ke atasnya dan menaklukkannya. Setelah itu mereka mencoba menyeretnya, dan hanya empat puluh orang yang mampu mengangkatnya. Ibnu Asakir meriwayatkannya.

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.

Ibnu Ishaq dalam al-Maghazi dan Ibnu cAsakir meriwayatkan dari Abu Rafi{c}: cAli memegang pintu benteng, benteng Khaybar; ia menggunakannya sebagai perisai untuk melindungi dirinya, dan pintu itu tetap di tangannya selama ia berperang hingga Allah memberi kami kemenangan. Sungguh, aku melihat delapan orang dari kami berusaha keras membalikkan pintu itu, tetapi kami tidak mampu membaliknya.

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-Bukhari meriwayatkan dalam kitab al-Adab bahwa Sahl bin Sa'd berkata: Nama yang paling disukai oleh 'Ali, semoga Allah meridhainya, adalah Abu Turab ('Si Berdebu' atau secara harfiah 'Bapak Debu'), dan ia senang dipanggil dengan nama itu. Tidak ada seorang pun yang memanggilnya Abu Turab selain Nabi ﷺ. Hal itu terjadi karena suatu hari, ketika ia marah kepada Fatimah, ia keluar lalu berbaring menyandar di dinding masjid. Kemudian Nabi ﷺ datang, dan punggungnya tertutup debu. Nabi ﷺ mulai mengusap debu dari punggungnya seraya bersabda, "Duduklah, wahai Abu Turab." Ia meriwayatkan lima ratus delapan puluh enam hadis dari Nabi ﷺ, semoga Allah memberi shalawat dan salam kepada beliau dan keluarganya.

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.

Tiga orang putranya, al-Hasan, al-Husain, dan Muhammad ibnul-Hanafiyyah, meriwayatkan darinya, begitu pula Ibnu Mas'ud, Ibnu Umar, Ibnu Abbas, Ibnuz-Zubair, Abu Musa, Abu Sa'id, Zaid bin Arqam, Jabir bin Abdullah, Abu Umamah, Abu Hurairah, serta sejumlah besar sahabat dan tabi'in lainnya, semoga Allah meridhai mereka semua.

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.
