{{Hadith}}
The '''hadith of the {{Transl|ar|thaqalayn}}''' ({{Lang-ar|حديث الثقلين|lit=saying of the two treasures}}) refers to a statement, attaributed to the [[Prophets and messengers in Islam|Islamic prophet]] [[Muhammad]], that introduces the [[Quran]], the principal religious text in [[Islam]], and his progeny as the only two sources of divine guidance after his death. Widely reported by both [[Shia Islam|Shia]] and [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] authorities, the hadith of the {{Transl|ar|thaqalayn}} is of particular significance in [[Twelver Shi'ism|Twelver Shia]], where their [[Twelve Imams]] are viewed as the spiritual and political successors of Muhammad.
== Hadith of the {{transl|ar|thaqalayn}} ==
There exist several versions of this hadith in [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] sources.{{Sfn|Momen|1985|p=16}} The version that appears in {{Transl|ar|[[Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal|Musnad Ahmad]]}}, a canonical Sunni hadith collection, reads,
{{Blockquote|text=I [Muhammad] left among you two treasures which, if you cling to them, you shall not be led into error after me. One of them is greater than the other: The book of God ([[Quran]]), which is a rope stretched from Heaven to Earth, and [the second one is] my progeny, my [[Ahl al-Bayt]]. These two shall not be parted until they return to the pool [of abundance in paradise, [[kawthar|{{transl|ar|kawthar}}]]].{{sfn|Momen|1985|p=16}}}}
Muhammad might have repeated this statement on multiple occasions,{{Sfn|Momen|1985|p=16}}{{Sfn|Abbas|2021|pp=81, 209}}{{Sfn|Mavani|2013|p=80}} including his [[Farewell Pilgrimage]] and later at the [[Ghadir Khumm]], shortly before his death in 632 [[Common Era|CE]].{{Sfn|Abbas|2021|pp=81, 209}}{{Sfn|Shomali|2003|p=50}} The version of this hadith in {{Transl|ar|[[As-Sunan al-Kubra|al-Sunan al-kubra]]}}, another Sunni hadith collection, adds the warning, "Be careful how you treat the two [treasures] after me."{{sfn|Abbas|2021|p=81}} Similar versions of the hadith can be found in other major Sunni sources, including {{Transl|ar|[[Sahih Muslim]]}}, {{Transl|ar|[[Sahih al-Tirmidhi]]}}, and {{Transl|ar|[[Sunan al-Darimi]]}}.{{Sfn|Shomali|2003|p=51}} According to the [[Shia Islam|Shia]] theologian [[Muhammad Husayn Tabatabai|Muhammad H. Tabatabai]] ({{Died in|1981}}), the hadith of the {{transl|ar|thaqalayn}} has been transmitted through more than a hundred channels by over thirty-five [[Companions of the Prophet|companions]] of Muhammad.{{Sfn|Tabatabai|1975|p=60}}
Shia Islam limits the Ahl al-Bayt to the [[Ahl al-Kisa]], namely, Muhammad, his daughter [[Fatima]], her husband [[Ali]], and their two sons, [[Hasan ibn Ali|Hasan]] and [[Husayn ibn Ali|Husayn]].{{Sfn|Momen|1985|pp=16{{ndash}}17}}{{Sfn|Leaman|2006}} In Shia theology works, the Ahl al-Bayt often also includes the remaining [[Imamate in Shia doctrine|Shia imams]].{{Sfn|Howard|1984}} There are various interpretations in Sunni Islam, though a typical compromise is to include Muhammad's wives in the Ahl al-Bayt, in addition to the Ahl al-Kisa.{{Sfn|Goldziher|Arendonk|Tritton|2012}} In some Sunni versions of the hadith, however, {{Transliteration|ar|ahl al-bayt}} has been replaced with {{transl|ar|[[sunnah|sunna]]}}, that is, practices of Muhammad.{{sfn|Goldziher|Arendonk|Tritton|2012}}{{Sfn|Brunner|2014}}
== Significance in Sunni Islam ==
Some Sunni versions of the hadith of the {{transl|ar|thaqalayn}} replace {{Transliteration|ar|ahl al-bayt}} with {{transl|ar|sunna}}, that is, practices of Muhammad.{{sfn|Goldziher|Arendonk|Tritton|2012}}{{Sfn|Brunner|2014}}{{Sfn|Haider|2014|p=36}} This change is either intended to challenge the Shia implications of the hadith,{{Sfn|Haider|2014|p=36}} or, if authentic, may imply that the {{Transliteration|ar|ahl al-bayt}} of Muhammad are a source of his {{transl|ar|sunna}}.{{Sfn|Shomali|2003|pp=54{{ndash}}55}} Muhammad is indeed viewed as the 'living Quran', the embodiment of God's will in his behavior and words.{{Sfn|Esposito|2010|p=43}} Both Sunni and Shia Muslims uphold the Quran and the {{transl|ar|sunna}} of Muhammad, though Shia extends the {{transl|ar|sunna}} to also include the traditions and practices of their [[Imamate in Shia doctrine|imams]].{{Sfn|Ahmad|2010|p=59}}
== Significance in Twelver Shia Islam ==
[[File:ShiaImamsNames_(cropped).jpg|thumb|260x260px|Names of Muhammad, his daughter [[Fatima]], and the [[Twelve Imams]], inscribed on the tilework of the shrine of [[Ali al-Rida]], the eighth of the Twelve Imams, [[Mashhad]], [[Iran]]]]
In [[Twelver Shi'ism|Twelver Shia]], the hadith of the {{transl|ar|thaqalayn}} establishes a parallel between the Quran and the family of Muhammad,{{Sfn|Haider|2014|p=36}} implying that the two serve as the only sources of divine guidance after Muhammad.{{Sfn|Tabatabai|1975|p=156}} The hadith also implicitly describes (some) descendants of Muhammad as the true interpreters of the Quran,{{sfn|Bar-Asher}} and those descendants are viewed as the living embodiments of the Quran in Twelver Shia.{{Sfn|Haider|2014|p=36}} As divine guides, those descendants must also be infallible lest they lead their followers astray.{{Sfn|Tabatabai|1975|p=156}} The hadith also implies that Earth is never void of a descendant of Muhammad, an infallible imam, who serves as the divine guide of humankind in his time. These are the [[Twelve Imams]] in Twelver Shia.{{Sfn|Tabatabai|1975|p=156}} The last of these imams, [[Muhammad al-Mahdi]], is believed to remain miraculously in [[Occultation (Islam)|occultation]] since 874 and is expected to return in the end of times to eradicate injustice and evil.{{Sfn|Madelung|2012}} Beyond the Twelvers, the belief in the eschatological [[Mahdi]] remains popular among all Muslims, possibly owing to numerous traditions to this effect in canonical Sunni and Shia sources.{{Sfn|Madelung|2012}}

Ali al-Akbar was born in Medina on 11 [[Sha'ban]] 33 AH (10 March 654 CE).

The teenager resembled his maternal grandfather [[Muhammad]], the [[prophet]] of [[Allah]], so much that Husayn ibn Ali often said, "whenever I happen to miss my maternal grandfather I look at the face of Ali al-Akbar." Ali al-Akbar was killed by Murrah ibn Munqad on 10 Muharram 61 [[Hijri year|AH]] in the [[battle of Karbala]].<ref name=KARBALA>{{Cite book|author=Aghaie, Kamran Scot|title=The Martyrs Of Karbala|publisher=University of Washington Press|isbn=0-295-98448-1|date=30 November 2004|page=200}}</ref><ref name="britannica">{{cite web |last1=The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica |title=Battle of Karbalā |url=https://www.britannica.com/event/Battle-of-Karbala |website=britannica}}</ref>

Prior to his death, [[Mu'awiya I]], the Umayyad ruler, appointed his son, [[Yazid I]] as his successor. This idea was contrary to Islamic principles and the position of the ruler was not the private property of a ruler to grant to his descendants.{{sfn|Lewis|2002|p=67}} Yazid ibn Muawiyyah tried to desire religious authority by obtaining the allegiance of Husayn ibn Ali, but Husayn would not give up his principles.<ref name="Iranica1">{{cite encyclopedia | last=Madelung | first=Wilferd | author-link=Wilferd Madelung | title=HOSAYN B.

As an Iranica said, Ali al-Akbar was one of the last men who was killed in the battle.<ref name="Iranica"/><ref>{{cite web |last1=Mikhnaf |first1=Abu |title=The Martyrdom Of The Family Members Of Al-Husayn (as) |url=https://www.al-islam.org/event-taff-earliest-historical-account-tragedy-karbala-abu-mikhnaf/martyrdom-family-members-al#fref_ede92de3_2 |publisher=ABWA Publishing and Printing Center}}</ref> On the morning of the day of Ashura, Husayn ibn Ali asked Ali Akbar a.s. to call out the [[Adhan]]. Husayn ibn Ali and many women in their tents began to weep when Ali Akbar began calling out the Adhan, suspecting that it may be the last time they heard Ali Akbar give the Adhan.<ref name="Karbala and Ashura">{{Cite book|author= Jalali, Ali Husayn|title= Karbala and Ashura|publisher= Ansariyan Publications|id= ASIN B000EEP2NM|year=2000}}</ref>
Ali Akbar stood in front of Husayn ibn Ali after [[Zuhr]] prayers and said: "Father, I request for your permission to go and fight the enemies of Islam." His father gave him permission and said, "May [[Allah]] be with you! But Akbar, you know how much your mother, sisters, and aunts love you. Go and say farewell to them." Ali Akbar went into the tent of his mother, [[Umm Layla]]. Every time he wanted to come out of the tent, his mother, aunts, and sisters would pull his cloak and say, "O Akbar, how will we live without you?" Husayn ibn Ali had to plead all to let Ali Akbar go.<ref name=SON>{{Cite book|author=Haeri, Shaykh Fadhlalla|title=Son of Karbala: The Spiritual Journey of an Iraqi Muslim|publisher=O Books|isbn=1-905047-51-7|date= 25 April 2006|page=240}}</ref>
Husayn ibn Ali helped his son mount his horse. As Akbar began to ride towards the battlefield he heard footsteps behind him. He looked back and saw his father. He said: "Father, we have said goodbye. Why are you walking behind me?" Husayn ibn Ali replied, "My son, if you had a son like yourself then you would have surely understood!"<ref name=BATTLE>{{Cite book|author=Mathews, David|title=The Battle of Karbala|publisher=Rupa & Co|isbn=81-7167-213-2|date=18 July 1994|page=96}}</ref>
According to [[Bal'ami]], Ali Al-Akbar struck the enemies ten times and killed two or three of them each time. Ali Al-Akbar then went back to his father after getting rid of the group of warriors that were ordered to battle against him. Imam Husayn then told Ali Al-Akbar to go to his mother’s tent to see her since she went to pray for him. When Ali Al-Akbar got there his mother was on the ground unconscious. When he tried to wake her up, she fainted again seeing her son safe in front of her. Before Ali al-Akbar could wake her up again, he heard his father calling for anyone that could help him and his family to get victory in this tough time. Ali Al-Akbar couldn't handle listening to his father asking for support without standing up and sacrificing his life for him. When Ali Al-Akbar went to say his last goodbye, he asked his father to check on his mother because he left her unconscious.<ref name="Iranica"/><ref name="islam">{{cite book|last1=Ali Mir|first1=Muhammad|title=Encyclopedia of the Islamic World}}</ref> [[Umar ibn Sa'ad]] ordered his soldiers to kill him, saying, "When he dies, Husayn will not want to live!

Murrah ibn Munqad <ref name="islam"/> then broke the wooden part of the spear and left the blade inside Ali Akbar's chest, to cause him more pain. As Ali Akbar fell from his horse, Yazid’s soldiers then surrounded him and started stabbing him with all kinds of weapons, he then said, "Yaa abata alayka minni salaam". Upon hearing his son's call, it is said that Imam Hussain lost his eyesight. When Imam Hussain arrived close to him and tried to remove the spear from his chest, the spear's head had been tangled in his veins and when Imam Hussain pulled it out, his heart came out alongside it.<ref name="KARBALA"/> He was then surrounded and was cut to pieces.<ref name="Iranica"/>

Al-Husayn asked, "Akbar, why do you embrace me with only one arm?" Akbar did not reply. Al-Husayn tried to move Akbar's right hand, but Akbar resisted. Then Al-Husayn forcefully moved the hand and saw the blade of the spear. He laid Akbar on the ground and sat on his knees, placing both of his hands on the blade of the spear. He looked at [[Najaf]], where [[Ali|his father]] was buried, and said, "Father, I too have come to my [[Khaybar]]!" He pulled out the blade, with it came the heart of Akbar. Al-Husayn, distraught seeing his son in such pain and stress, wept.

On On 10 October 680 (Muharram 10, 61 AH), the day of Ashura, Ali al-Akbar was killed by Yazid's army. He was the first of the [[Banu Hashim]] to go out to the battle-field and be killed.

+According to [[Bal'ami]], Ali Al-Akbar struck the enemies ten times and killed two or three of them each time. Ali Al-Akbar then went back to his father after getting rid of the group of warriors that were ordered to battle against him. Imam Husayn then told Ali Al-Akbar to go to his mother’s tent to see her since she went to pray for him. When Ali Al-Akbar got there his mother was on the ground unconscious. When he tried to wake her up, she fainted again seeing her son safe in front of her. Before Ali al-Akbar could wake her up again, he heard his father calling for anyone that could help him and his family to get victory in this tough time. Ali Al-Akbar couldn't handle listening to his father asking for support without standing up and sacrificing his life for him.

Murrah ibn Munqad <ref name="islam"/> then broke the wooden part of the spear and left the blade inside Ali Akbar's chest, to cause him more pain. As Ali Akbar fell from his horse, Yazid’s soldiers then surrounded him and started stabbing him with all kinds of weapons, he then said, "Yaa abata alayka minni salaam". Upon hearing his son's call, it is said that Imam Hussain lost his eyesight.

These are the [[Twelve Imams]] in Twelver Shia.{{Sfn|Tabatabai|1975|p=156}} The last of these imams, [[Muhammad al-Mahdi]], is believed to remain miraculously in [[Occultation (Islam)|occultation]] since 874 and is expected to return in the end of times to eradicate injustice and evil.{{Sfn|Madelung|2012}} Beyond the Twelvers, the belief in the eschatological [[Mahdi]] remains popular among all Muslims, possibly owing to numerous traditions to this effect in canonical Sunni and Shia sources.{{Sfn|Madelung|2012}}

Then Al-Husayn forcefully moved the hand and saw the blade of the spear. He laid Akbar on the ground and sat on his knees, placing both of his hands on the blade of the spear. He looked at [[Najaf]], where [[Ali|his father]] was buried, and said, "Father, I too have come to my [[Khaybar]]!" He pulled out the blade, with it came the heart of Akbar.

Widely reported by both [[Shia Islam|Shia]] and [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] authorities, the hadith of the {{Transl|ar|thaqalayn}} is of particular significance in [[Twelver Shi'ism|Twelver Shia]], where their [[Twelve Imams]] are viewed as the spiritual and political successors of Muhammad.
