'''Hadīth of Manzila''' (Arabic: حدیث المنزلة) is among the most famous hadiths narrated from the [[Prophet (s)]] which has been agreed upon by both [[Shi'a]] and [[Sunni]] scholars. This hadith introduces the position of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], with regards to the Prophet (s) and his primacy over other [[companions of the prophet (s)|companions]]. It is a frequently-narrated hadith ([[mutawatir]]) in the view of Shi'a scholars and among the proofs for Imam 'Ali's (a) right to the [[caliphate]] after the noble Prophet (s).

It is a frequently-narrated hadith ([[mutawatir]]) in the view of Shi'a scholars and among the proofs for Imam 'Ali's (a) right to the [[caliphate]] after the noble Prophet (s).


This hadith has been narrated from the Prophet (s) in different occasions, most important of which has been in the [[Battle of Tabuk]]. One of the most famous versions of its narration is that the noble Prophet (s) addressed Imam 'Ali (a) and said, "To me, you are like [[Aaron]] to [[Moses]], except for there is no prophet after me."

There are different versions of the hadith of Manzila, yet they all share the common message of [[Imam 'Ali (a)|Imam 'Ali's (a)]] position relative to the Prophet (s) and how it is the same as [[Aaron]]'s position with regards to [[Moses]]. The few differences in these versions are due to its repetition in different occasions and the fact that some narrators have reported the meaning of the narration and not its exact words.

In addition to proving a great merit for [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], this hadith also proves his right for [[caliphate]] and infallibility, since the [[Prophet (s)]] has elevated Imam 'Ali (a) to [[Aaron]] and all of his virtues, except for being a prophet. According to Quranic verses, prophet [[Moses]] asked God to choose Aaron as his deputy, and prophet Musa helps him in his mission<ref>Sura Taha (20:29-32)</ref>. God accepted Moses' request<ref>Sura Taha (20:36)</ref> and Aaron became Moses' vicegerent in his absence<ref>Sura A'raf (7:142)</ref>. Therefore, Aaron had all the positions of Moses as well, and if Aaron remained alive after Moses, he would have served as his successor (according to Jews, Aaron passed away forty years before Moses.)

Aaron had a great position before Moses and thus Imam 'Ali's (a) position and rightfulness for caliphate after the Prophet (s) can be understood. Based on the story of Aaron and Moses in the [[Qur'an]], Aaron was Moses' deputy in his mission, thus 'Ali (a) was also the Prophet's (s) deputy in his leadership and guardianship, except in his role as a [[prophe]]. Aaron was the second man after Moses among [[Bani Israel]], thus 'Ali (a) was the same in the Prophet's (s) ummah. Aaron was Moses' brother, and 'Ali (a) was also noted as the Prophet's (s) brother based on the frequently narrated [[Hadith of Mu'akhat]] which has been mentioned in both [[Shi'a]] and [[Sunni]] references. Aaron was the best of Moses' people before God, as 'Ali (a) was during the time of the Prophet.

Aaron was Moses' exclusive deputy in his absence, and the Prophet gave that right to 'Ali (a), as documented in the narration where the Prophet's (s) said, "It would not be appropriate that I go to the [[Battle of Tabuk]], except you would be my vicegerent here". Aaron was the most knowledgeable person among the people of Moses and so was 'Ali (a) as stressed by the Prophet (s). Obeying Aaron was incumbent upon both [[Joshua b. Nun]] (Moses' deputy) and his people. Obeying 'Ali (a) was also a necessity, even with the assumption of the deputyship of [[Abu Bakr]], [['Umar b. Khattab|'Umar]], [['Uthman b. Affan|'Uthman]] or anyone else.

# In their recordings, many Sunni scholars did not limit this hadith to the Battle of Tabuk and believe that the Prophet (s) shared this hadith in other occasions too. In approving the deputyship of Imam 'Ali (a), [[Ibn Abi al-Hadid]]<ref>Ibn Abi l-Hadid, Vol.13, P.211</ref> referred to the Qur'an and different hadiths applying the merits and positions of Aaron to 'Ali (a) and if the Prophet (s) was not the Last of Prophets, 'Ali (a) would even be his successor in prophethood. The Prophet (s) named 'Ali's (a) sons the same as Aaron's sons and said, "I named them Shubbar and Shubayr after Aaron's sons.<ref>Ahmad b.
