⁉️Question: Why and based on what evidence is Ali (peace be upon him) called "Farooq" and the distinguisher between truth and falsehood?

❕Answer: The reason is the narrations from the Holy Prophet of Islam, which many Sunnis have confirmed and discussed in their sources. Some of these narrations include:

🔵The Prophet said: "Soon after me, a trial will arise. If that happens, you must stay with Ali ibn Abi Talib because he is the first to see me and will shake hands with me on the Day of Judgment. He is with me in a high and lofty rank. He is the distinguisher between truth and falsehood."

🟢The Prophet said: "Indeed, Ali is the first to believe in me and the first to shake hands with me on the Day of Judgment. This Ali is the great truthful one, and he is the Farooq of this nation who distinguishes between truth and falsehood."

🔵The Prophet said: "Ali is with the truth, and the truth is with Ali wherever he moves." Or another saying: "Ali is with the truth, and the truth is with Ali (peace be upon him). Ali (peace be upon him) moves towards the truth, wherever the truth moves."

🔵From these two hadiths, it can be inferred that the one who is always with the truth, or the truth is with him, is also the criterion for distinguishing the truth.

🟢The Prophet said to Ammar: "If all people go one way and Ali alone goes another way, follow the way Ali ibn Abi Talib (peace be upon him) goes. O Ammar, be independent of all people because Ali (peace be upon him) will not turn you away from the path of guidance and will not lead you to destruction and misguidance. O Ammar, obedience to Ali is obedience to me, and obedience to me is obedience to God." (This statement of the Prophet was the reason Abu Ayyub did not pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr.)

📝 #Lesson | Neither rush ahead of the Imam nor fall behind Him.

🔹There are some people who rush ahead of the Leader of the community. For example, they address the Imam saying,

"No sir, you should do this!"

The Prophet promised that they will en going to Hajj; when they were about to go, the polytheists interrupted and a dispute arose which led to the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.

🔸In a particular incident, the Prophet declared:

"We will go for Hajj next year."

The second Caliph, in a state of protest, challenged him and said:

"You promised we would go for Hajj. What happened?"

The Prophet calmly replied:

"We will go next year."

Unconvinced, Omar persisted:

"No, we must go for Hajj this year! What kind of negotiation was this? What agreement did you make?"

And in the end, he said,

"I will fight against them."

He took up the sword and headed towards to make a conflict; in return, the polytheists attacked back.

🔹The Messenger of Allah (s) told Imam Ali (a):

"Go and prevent him from starting a war."

When the polytheists saw Imam Ali (PBUH), they got scared and turned back. The issue was always made by those who were over heated and those who were so chill. That is why in the Ziarat al-Jamia we are taught:

"Do not go ahead of the Imam, and do not lag behind."
