To prove the caliphate of Ali ibn Abi Talib, Shi”ites have had recourse to Qur`anic verses, including the following: “Your friend [wali] can be only Allah; and His messenger and those who believe, who establish worship and pay the poor-due, and bow down (in prayer) [or, and this reading is accepted by “Allamah Tabataba”i: “….pay the poor-due while bowing down (in prayer)”]” (Qur`an, V, 55). Shi”ite and Sunni commentators alike agree that this verse was revealed concerning Ali ibn Abi Talib, and many Shi”ite and Sunni traditions exist supporting this view. Abu Dharr Ghifari has said: “One day we prayed the noontime prayers with the Prophet. A person in need asked people to help but no one gave him anything, “Oh God! Be witness that in the mosque of the Prophet no one gave me anything.” Ali ibn Abi Talib was in the position of genuflection in the prayers. He pointed with his finger to the person, who took his ring and left. The Prophet, who was observing the scene raised his head toward heaven and said: “Oh God! My brother Moses said to Thee, “Expand my breast and make easy my tasks and make my tongue eloquent so that they will comprehend my words, and make my brother, Harun, my help and vizier” [cf. Quran, XXVIII, 35]. Oh God! I am also Thy prophet; expand my breast and make easy my tasks and make Ali my vizier and helper.”” Abu Dharr says, “The words of the Prophet had not as yet finished when the verse [cited above] was revealed.” Another verse which the Shi”ites consider as proof of the caliphate of Ali is this: “This day are those who disbelieve in despair of (even harming) your religion; so fear them not, fear Me! This day have I perfected your religion for you and completed My favour unto you, and have chosen for you as religion AL-ISLAM” (Quran, V, 3). The obvious meaning of this verse is that before that particular day the infidels had hopes that a day would come when Islam would die out, but God through the actualization of a particular even made them lose forever the hope that Islam would be destroyed. This very event was the cause of the strength and perfection of Islam and of necessity could not be a minor occasion such as the promulgation of one of the injunctions of religion. Rather, it was a matter of such importance that the continuation of Islam depended upon it.
This verse seems to be related to another verse which comes toward the end of the same chapter: “O Messenger! Make known that which hath been revealed u
