Nasir-i Rasul (Helper of the Holy Prophet)

Argument 15:

According to the report of Abu’l-Hamra’, it is mentioned in Hilyatu’l-Awliya’ that the Prophet said: “When I was carried by night to the heaven I saw written on the leg of the Throne : I (God) planted the paradise of Eden. Muhammad is the best of My creations. I helped him through Ali.” (Kawkab-i Durr§, Chapter 2, manqabat 53).

The Qur’anic verse (17:80) shows that the above Hadith is an absolutely sound Hadith, and the verse is:

“(The Prophet is told) And pray: O my Lord! Cause me to enter a goodly entrance and cause me to go out with a goodly exit. And grant me from Your presence a powerful helper”.
