The notable points of this narration

This Prophetic prophecy not only proves the importance of Owais e Qarani and the rightness of the path he will walk on, but the martyrdom of Owais in the Battle of Siffeen, with respect to the Prophet’s prophecy about his death and martyrdom, is one of the many evidences which prove that the right path is only the path of Imam Ali (a.s.), and only the ones who obey the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) will walk on this path.

           Many significant points can be extracted from this narration, which are as follows:

1. The prophecy of Prophet (p.b.u.h.) regarding the arrival of Owais e Qarani in the holy presence of Imam Ali (a.s.).
2. Owais e Qarani has been introduced as a member of Allah and His Prophet’s army, although he did not physically live close to his holiness; therefore, physical proximity or distance does not prove a person’s capability.
3. The prophecy of Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) regarding the future of Owais e Qarani which states that his life will end with his martyrdom.
4.   The righteousness of Imam Ali (a.s.) and all those who gave away their lives under his flag; they are all martyrs.
5. The actual meaning of ‘Shifa’at’ or intercession can be understood from this narration; the Holy Prophet (p.b.u.h.) said: ‘he will enter with the help of his intercession’.
6. The issue of Shifa’at is not specifically for the infallibles, but their dignified friends can also intercede even if the number of individuals are equal to the members of the tribe ‘Rabea’ and ‘Mudar’.
7. Apart from the above points, this narration is an appropriate guide for those who indulged in scepticism, and due to the propagandas of Mu’awiyah, could not discriminate between the right and the wrong path; because they could find out that men like Ammar eYasir and Owais e Qarani - who join only that group which is on the right path, are a part of which group so that with their help, they could be aware of the rightness of the group in which they belong.

It is notable that a group of people who were aware of these narrations, left the army of Mu’awiyah in the Battle of Siffeen and joined the army of Imam Ali (a.s.), of which Owais e Qarani was a member.
