Divine Inspiration to Ali رضى الله عنه in Form of Audible Voice

 بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

والصلاة والسلام على خاتم النبيين

Imam al-Baihaqi relates an incident in which amir al-Mu’minin, Ali bin Abi Talib كرم الله وجهه heard a voice as a form of divine inspiration in a state of wakefulness:

وَحَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ ثَعْلَبَةَ عَنِ الْعَلْبَاءِ بْنِ أَحْمَرَ قال

كَانَ عَلِيٌّ وَالْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ يُغَسِّلَانِ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلم فَنُودِيَ عَلِيٌّ ارْفَعْ طَرْفَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ

al-’Albaa bin Ahmar narrates: Ali and al-Fadl bin Abbas رضى الله عنهم were washing the [corpse] of the Apostle of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم when Ali heard a voice calling out ‘lift up your sight to Heaven’ (Dala’il an-Nubuwwah; v.7 pp.244-245):
