Hadith 1242
۞
8. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ali from Ali ibn Ja‘far who has said the following.
“I heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.) say, ‘Once when the Messenger of Allah was sitting an angel who had twenty four faces came to him. The Messenger of Allah said to him, “My friend Jibril, I had not seen you in this form before.” The angel said, “ Iam not Jibril, O Muhammad. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, has sent me to join in marriage the light with the light.” He then asked, “Who with who?” The angel said, “Fatima and Ali (a.s.).” The Imam (a.s.) said, “When the angel turned back on his shoulder it said, “Muhammad the Messenger of Allah, and Ali (a.s.) the executor of his will.” The Messenger of Allah asked, “Since when this has been written on your shoulder?” The angel replied, “It was there twenty two thousand year before Allah created Adam.”

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) جَالِسٌ إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَعِشْرُونَ وَجْهاً فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) حَبِيبِي جَبْرَئِيلُ لَمْ أَرَكَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذِهِ الصُّورَةِ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ لَسْتُ بِجَبْرَئِيلَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بَعَثَنِي الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَنْ أُزَوِّجَ النُّورَ مِنَ النُّورِ قَالَ مَنْ مِمَّنْ قَالَ فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى الْمَلَكُ إِذَا بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ الله عَلِيٌّ وَصِيُّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مُنْذُ كَمْ كُتِبَ هَذَا بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْكَ فَقَالَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الله آدَمَ بِاثْنَيْنِ وَعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ.
