What do the companions of the two Sahihs say about Imam Ali bin Abi Talib (PBUH)?
For one billion Muslims from the Ahl al-Sunnah group, the source of the hadiths attributed to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace and his family, is Sahih al-Bukhari, which is an encyclopedic book that the believers say regarding its authenticity that it is the most reliable in what it contains of hadith attributed to the Prophet Muhammad. In addition Sahih al-Bukhari is not comparable to the importance of Sunni Muslims except Sahih Muslim.
It was stated in the two books:
The Messenger of Allah, may Allahs prayers and peace be upon him, went out to Tabuk in order to respond to the Roman’s aggression against it, and took Ali as a successor, and said: Do you become my successor over the boys and ladies? He said: “Are you not satisfied that you are of the same status as Haron from Musa?Except that there is no prophet after me.”
In a nutshell, what the jurists said, such as Sheikh Matwali Sharawi and Sheikh Ahmad Al-Kubaisi, that Imam Ali bin Abi Talib is not counted in comparison with the rest of the Companions. He is unique and his traits are close to those of the Prophet, he is considered to be at the same status of the Messenger of Allah, where all the Companions dont reach his position. This is not based on the words of the two sheikhs (Shaarawi and Al-Kubaisi) or on emotions, but rather on the consensus of sources, especially the "Sahbi Al-Ashah", that the only one whom the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him and his family, considered as Harun from Musa for him from among the Companions is Ali, peace be upon him.
