The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said about Imam Ali (as) that you have similarity with Eisa (as) Jesus. We can see that exactly the same thing is happening.. We some people believe that Imam Ali is God or they believe those thing about Imam Ali(as) which makes equal to God. We also know that Kharijities and Nasibis have hatred about Imam Ali. We know in our daily life many Muslims try to hide the virtues of Imam Ali(as), and they do not give the status to the Imam which is given by Allah and his messenger to Ali (as).
We would like to say here that the followers of Imam Ali hided the virtues of Imam Ali because of fear of death and still in some parts of the it is still happening. We also know that some muslims hide the virtues of Imam Ali because they cannot accept the special status of Imam Ali in Islam. They try their best to propagate that all the Sahaba and Imam Ali are equal!.
English Translation:
Ali ibn Abi Talib narrated:
The Holy Prophet said about me “You have some similarity with Issa bin Mariam, Jews hated him even they tried to blame on his mother and the Christians love him so much until they raised him above from his status(God)”.
