پوستر: لیله المبیت

ليلة المبيت، هي الليلة التي بات فيها الإمام علي عليه السلام في فراش النبي محمد صلی الله عليه وآله وسلم بدلاً عنه، وذلك حينما أراد مجموعة من مشركي قريش الهجوم على بيت النبي صلی الله عليه وآله وسلم من أجل قتله، فبطلب من رسول الله صلی الله عليه وآله وسلم بات الإمام علي عليه السلام في فراشه، وبهذه الطريقة لم يحصل المشركون على مبتغاهم في قتل رسول الله صلی الله عليه وآله وسلم، واستطاع النبي في هذه الليلة الهجرة إلى يثرب، وقد ذكر مجموعة من المفسرين بأن آية الشراء في سورة البقرة نزلت في حق أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام؛ وذلك تبعاً لفداء نفسه لرسول الله في تلك الليلة. وذكرت المصادر التاريخية إن هذه الحادثة وقعت في الليلة الأولى من ربيع الأول في السنة 13 أو 14 من البعثة.

لیله المبیت

Laylat al-Mabit is the title of the night on which Imam Ali (a) slept in the bed of the Prophet (s) because Polytheists of Quraysh had plotted to assassinate him. The Prophet (s) started his emigration from Mecca to Medina in the night, and Imam Ali (a) slept in his bed, so the assassins would not notice his absence. The verse 207 of the Qur'an 2 is revealed about the sacrifice of Ali (a) for saving the life of the Prophet (s).
>On the night of Rabi' I 1/ September 13, 622, the Prophet (s) told Ali (a): "the angel descended to me and informed me that Quraysh polytheists are united to kill me, and he recommended me from my God to emigrate from my tribe, and go to the Thawr cave tonight, and he ordered me to order you to sleep in my bed so my trace will become hidden by that; so what do you say and what will you do?", so Ali (a) said: "will you be safe by my sleeping there?", the Prophet (s) said: "yes", so Ali (a) smiled and bowed down to perform sajda al-shukr (prostration of thankfulness) out of happiness, then said: "Go as you are ordered, may my ears, eyes, and my very heart be sacrificed for you, order me as you wish, I am like your assistant, I will do it as you want, and my success is only by Allah." the Prophet (s) said: "sleep in my bed, and put on my clothes, and I inform you that Allah tests his friends according to their faith and their rank in His religion, so the most hardly tested people are the prophets, then their successors, etc., so He is testing you and is testing me with you, like He tested His friend Ibrahim (a), and Isma'il (a) (when Ibrahim was commanded to slaughter Isma'il), so be patient, be patient, for 'indeed Allah's mercy is close to the virtuous'" then embraced Ali (a) and both cried, then they separated.
