Question:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is there a resemblance between 'Ali ibn Abi Talib sleeping in the bed of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during his migration to Madinah, and the companion of 'Isa (peace be upon him) for whom it was chosen to cast a likeness upon him?
Answer:
Yes, it is the story of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with the disbelievers, just like the story of 'Isa with the Jews. The disbelievers conspired against the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and wanted to kill him, and they were lying in wait at the door. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered 'Ali to sleep on his bed. So, this is a virtue for 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him); there is no doubt that he ransomed himself with his own life and that he endured the danger of death. There is no doubt that this contains virtue. Then, the departure of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) from among them while they were unaware is like the raising of 'Isa (peace be upon him) from among them while they were unaware. Yes.
