The Excellence of Sayyiduna Ali رضی اللہ عنہ
O devotees of the Companions and Ahl al-Bayt! It is evident from this Hadith that love for Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ is a sign of faith, and hatred of him (مَعاذَ اللہ) is a sign of hypocrisy.
ꜤAllāmah Ibn Ḥajar رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَلَيْه writes:
It was the practice of the noble Companions عَـلَيْهِمُ الرِّضْوَانْ to determine a person’s faith or hypocrisy by their hatred of Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ. Whenever they saw someone who had animosity towards Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ, they would know he was a hypocrite. [1]
سُبْحٰنَ اللہ May Allah Almighty grant us true love for Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ and make our hearts repositories of love for him.

Dear Islamic brothers, one matter that must be kept in mind here is that not every kind of love for Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ brings salvation. Some forms of love for Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ result in a person’s ruin rather than bring about salvation.
It is mentioned in a Hadith narrated by Sayyidunā Ali رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ:
One day, the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم called me and said, “O Ali! The example of ꜤĪsā عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام is in you. The Jews harboured hatred for ꜤĪsā عَلَیْہِ السَّلَام to the extent that they slandered his mother (Sayyidatunā Maryam رَحمۃُ اللہِ عَلَیْہا), and the
