Re: Ali a.s or mavia
well bro i follow the scholars who beleive Bibi Zehra s.a is the reason of creation of Imam Ali a.s ...... and their history is little different :)
i have heard that too ....
they have the notion that since Ali [as] was the ONLY son-in-law of Prophet [saw] he was the legitimate successor ,these people elevate Fatima to a level greater than Ali and almost to the level of the prophet...some also say she was given a book by Angel gabreial as well....thats the reason partly why some shia scholars have failed to mention the other daughters of the Prophet.
why is this such an issue ? didnt the Prophet say that even if Fatima commits theft i will strike off her hand ?
who is greater the principles of islam or personalities ?
personally i think being married to Fatima[as] was one of the many merits of Ali but that was WAY down the list .....and certainly not a factor why I personally think he was the successor to the Prophet ...this might be a merit for someone who had little else to his credit ....but i dont care if Ali married one daughter or all 4 ...the man had FAR better reasons to be made a caliph than this .....
