It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called me and said: "The same will happen to you as happened with Jesus (peace be upon him): the Jews bore enmity towards him to the extent that they accused his mother of a great sin, and the Christians loved him so much that they elevated him to a status which was not his." Then Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said that two types of people will be destroyed concerning me: one, those who go to extremes in love and grant me a status which is not mine; and the other, those who bear enmity and, in their hostility, attribute to me such accusations which have nothing to do with me. Beware! I am not a prophet, nor does revelation come to me. I only act, to the best of my ability, upon the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Therefore, regarding obedience to Allah, whatever command I give you—whether you like it or dislike it—it is my right that you obey me in it.
