The Angels Seek Forgiveness for the Partisans of ‘Ali (a.s.)

According to the traditions of the Ahl ul-Bayt (a.s.), it is an established fact that even the angels ask forgiveness (on behalf) of the followers of ‘Ali (a.s.). A tradition is quoted in BihÄr al-AnwÄr from the Sunni sources in this regard. Anas relates from the Holy Prophet (S) that he said,

“Allah has created seventy thousand angels from the light of ‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib’s face. These angels will (continue to) ask forgiveness (on his behalf and on the behalf of his devotees) till the Day of Judgement.”
