Ḥadīth al-tashbīh (Arabic: حَديث التَشبيه, similitude) or Ḥadīth al-ashbāh (Arabic: حَديث الأَشْباه) is a hadith from the Prophet (s) in which Imam Ali (a) is said to be similar to the prophets. On this hadith, Imam Ali (a) is said to have Adam's (a) knowledge, Noah's (a) peace-seeking and piety, Abraham's (a) patience, Moses's (a) solemnity and genius, David's (a) asceticism, and Jesus's (a) worship. The hadith is cited in Shi'a and Sunni sources from the Prophet's (s) companions such as 'Abd Allah b. 'Abbas, 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud, Abu l-Hamra', and Anas b. Malik.

According to Shi'a scholars, the hadith of similitude implies Imam Ali's (a) equality with, and superiority to, the prophets in the relevant attributes and characteristics. It is, therefore, said to be evidence for Imam Ali's (a) imamate and caliphate. Some people believe that the hadith implies Imam Ali's (a) superiority to all the prophets except Prophet Muhammad (s).

The hadith is deemed valid by Shi'a scholars, but some Sunni scholars rejected it. Volume sixteen of Aqabat al-anwar is devoted to a consideration of the chain of transmission and implications of the hadith.

Text and Introduction

The Hadith of Similitude is a hadith from the Prophet (s) in which some of Imam Ali's (a) virtues are assimilated to those of the prophets. The hadith is cited in Shi'a[1] and Sunni[2] sources in different wordings.

The text of the hadith in which Imam Ali (a) is deemed similar to the prophets (a) varies from source to source. In some sources, Imam Ali (a) is assimilated to Ulu l-'Azm prophets and Noah (a).[3] In Kamal al-din by al-Shaykh al-Saduq, Prophet David (a) is also mentioned along with those prophets.[4] In some sources, Imam Ali (a) is assimilated to Adam (a), Abraham (a), Moses (a), John (a), Jesus (a), Seth (a), and Idris (a).[5] In some Sunni sources, Imam Ali (a) is described as similar to Adam (a), Noah (a), Abraham (a), John (a), and Moses (a).[6] In Ibn al-Maghazili’s Manaqib, only the similarity to Adam (a) and Noah (a) is mentioned.[7]

In certain sources, Ali (a) is said to have Israfil's solemnity, Gabriel's greatness, and Michael's status.[8]

The hadith is also called Hadith al-Ashbah (hadith of the similar).[9]

Qadi Nur Allah al-Shushtari[10] and Mir Hamid Husayn[11] have collected the transmitters, chains of transmission, and various wordings of the Hadith of Similitude.

Aspects of Ali's (a) Similarity to the Prophets

The Hadith of Similitude is said to attribute the moral characters of the prophets and the characteristics of the chosen people to Imam Ali (a).[12]

Muhammad b. Yusuf al-Ganji al-Shafi'i, a Shafi'i scholar in the seventh/thirteenth century, suggests that Ali's (a) similarity to Adam (a) concerning knowledge is because, according to verse 31 of Qur'an 2, God taught the properties of everything to Adam (a). Similarly, Ali (a) had knowledge of all events and accidents.[13] Moreover, Ali's (a) similarity to Noah (a) with respect to wisdom or judgment was because the former was hard and strict on disbelievers and kind to believers, just like Noah (a).[14] Moreover, since Abraham (a) is described in the Quran as forbearing,[15] Ali (a) is assimilated to him with respect to patience and forbearance.[16]

According to Muhammad b. Talha al-Shafi'i, a Shafi'i scholar of the sixth and seventh/twelfth and thirteenth centuries, the Prophet (s) attributes knowledge to Ali (a) just like that of Adam (a), piety just like that of Noah (a), forbearance just like that of Abraham (a), solemnity just like that of Moses (a), and worship just like that of Jesus (a).[17] In his view, the assimilation of Ali (a) to the prophets concerning these characteristics implies that he had the highest degree of these attributes.[18]

Ahmad b. Muhammad al-'Asimi, a Sunni scholar in the fourth/tenth and fifth/eleventh centuries, cites the Hadith of Similitude in his Zayn al-fata, and then elaborates upon Imam Ali's (a) similarities to Adam (a), Noah (a), Abraham (a), Joseph (a), Moses (a), David (a), Solomon (a), Job (a), John (a), Jesus (a), and Prophet Muhammad (s).[19]

Al-Allama al-Majlisi devotes a section of his Bihar al-anwar to the hadiths concerning the similar virtues of Ali (a) and other prophets.[20]

Implication of Imam Ali's (a) Superiority

A number of Shi'a scholars believe that the Hadith of Similitude implies Imam Ali's (a) superiority to other people, which in turn entails his entitlement to imamate and caliphate.[21] Moreover, some people maintain that the Hadith of Similitude is evidence for Imam Ali's (a) superiority to all the prophets except Prophet Muhammad (s), since he had all peculiar virtues of all the prophets, and one who has all the virtues is superior to those who have some of the virtues.[22]

Mir Hamid Husayn presents twenty arguments for the claim that the Hadith of Similitude implies Imam Ali's (a) equality with the prophets in the relevant characteristics.[23] In his view, such equality constitutes evidence for Imam Ali's (a) superiority to the prophets and other people.[24]

Transmitters of the Hadith and Its Validity

A summery of the book Aqabat al-anwar, "Hadith Tashbih" in (Persian)

The hadith was transmitted by companions of the Prophet (s) such as 'Abd Allah b. 'Abbas,[25] 'Abd Allah b. Mas'ud,[26] Abu Hurayra,[27] Abu l-Hamra' the Prophet's (s) servant,[28] and Anas b. Malik.[29]

Validity

Shi'a hadith scholars believe that the Hadith of Similitude is valid and reliable. Indeed, they have cited the hadith as evidence for certain claims. Sultan al-Wa'izin al-Shirazi, the author of Shabhayi Peshawar (Peshawar nights), believes that Hadith al-Tashbih is a matter of consensus between Shi'a and Sunni scholars.[30] In his Aqabat al-anwar, Mir Hamid Husayn cites the hadith from forty Sunni scholars of hadith and, thus, establishes its authenticity.[31]

Some Sunni scholars have raised objections against the validity of the hadith, however. The Hadith of Similitude is deemed a munkar hadith (a type of unreliable hadith) by Shams al-Din al-Dhahabi, a Salafi historian and scholar of hadith in the eighth/fourteenth century,[32] Ibn al-Hajar al-'Asqalani, a Shafi'i historian and scholar of hadith in the eighth and ninth/fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,[33] and Ibn al-Kathir, a Sunni scholar in the eighth/fourteenth century.[34] Ibn al-Jawzi, a Sunni scholar of the sixth/twelfth century, believes that the Hadith of Similitude was fabricated.[35] However, according to some people, since the hadith was transmitted through diverse chains of transmission, it is reliable, even if its chains are individually weak.[36]

Al-Dhahabi[37] and Ibn Taymiyya[38] quote the hadith from al-Bayhaqi (without mentioning al-Bayhaqi's chain of transmission), and then say that the hadith lacks any chain of transmission and is thus fabricated or fake. However, Muwaffaq b. Ahmad al-Khwarizmi, a Sunni scholar in the sixth/twelfth century, quotes the hadith from al-Bayhaqi with its chain of transmission.[39] The hadith is quoted through other Sunni chains of transmission as well.[40]

Bibliography

Hadith al-Tashbih is discussed in a number of works.[41] Mir Hamid Husayn devotes the sixteenth volume of his book 'Aqabat al-anwar fi imamat al-a'immat al-athar to a consideration of the chains of transmission and content of this hadith.

    • Ali's similarities to Noah (a): insight, invitation, prayers being answered, ship (rescue of those who embark on the ship and destruction of the rest, as in the Hadith of Safina), blessing, peace and greeting, gratefulness, and destruction of people.
    • Similarities to Abraham (a): faithfulness, protection against evils, debates with the father and relatives, iconoclasm, being given the good tidings of having a great offspring, having both just and unjust offspring, being tested, property and children, and being called a friend (Khalil) in that since Abraham (a) was called Khalil Allah (God's friend) and 'Ali (a) Khalil Rasul Allah (friend of God's apostle).
    • Similarities to Moses (a): strength and resoluteness, defense and invitation, cane and power, opened breast, brotherhood, and closeness (between Moses and Aaron and between the Prophet and 'Ali), love and passion, tolerance of sufferings, and inheritance of the rule.
    • Similarities to Jesus (a): acknowledgment of God's lordship and worship, knowledge of the Book of God during childhood, knowledge of reading and writing, destruction of two groups of those who went astray (Jews and Christians in the case of Jesus and Khawarij and Ghulat [exaggerators about the Imam] in the case of 'Ali), asceticism in the world, generosity and dignity, foretelling of future events, and adequacy and competence.
    • Similarities to Prophet Muhammad (s): Here, al-ʿAsimi notes 23 similarities, including the creation, brotherhood, length of life, forgiveness, love and hate, immunity from sins, obedience, guardianship, and assimilation to trees.
