Would love to be in hz. Behlool’s squad, imagine backing him while he’s rinsing Banu Abbas like that
Hisham Ibn Hakam would https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💯" title="Hundert Punkte Symbol" aria-label="Emoji: Hundert Punkte Symbol"> be the best on twitter. He could end an argument with the most perfect one liners no one would beef him on here. Ever
Or spitting bars with Farazdaq or Di’bil al Khuzai. The intricacy of pre-modern wordplay is so underrated
Ali Ibn Yaqteen would ghost everyone but secretly run everything. Under-appreciated companion but represents an entire methodology of practicing wilayat
Qambar would have the best stories. Of all the servants of imam Ali (S), so many of the esoteric/mystical narrations of even just singular moments of magnificence were reported by Qambar. Imagine sitting with him for even a quick minute https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👀" title="Augen" aria-label="Emoji: Augen">
Malik al Ashtar is the one everyone wants to be boys with. Some of Imam Ali’s sermons are pure motivation (‘keep your feet firm like mountains...’) but they were often for groups and armies to inspire them generally. But to Malik al-Ashtar he spoke on a level
U know how you have that mate who has a wicked voice, sometimes you’re like yo can you recite something for us pls? That’s Bilaal ra. Sadly some dispute his stances, but if we‘re truly judged by our greatest deeds, this is the one Sayeda Fatima(S) personally asked to read adhan
Imo one of the most astonishing companions, in terms of personality, is Burayr. He’s one of the 72 and has words and actions attributed to him that are next level even in that group. The way he roasts banu Umayya in two occasions in particular is devastating
From what I can tell, Salman al Muhammadi was adored by the other lovers of Ahlulbayt but he spent so much time in solitude (the secret to his status, perhaps). This is the one who carries the otherworldly aura in every hallowed step they make
But hands down, the one you CANNOT miss is Mesum al Tammar. This is a man of such intense dhikr and praise of Ahlulbayt that you just sit in awe at the secrets of Imamate unravelling in the flow before your ears
Aqeel Ibn Abi Talib is the one you go to when ur considering someone for marriage but need the lowdown fr
Value Kumayl ibn Ziyad tho. He contains secrets nobody else has ever heard and has seen dimensions of wilayat that Imam has told him he isn’t even allowed to share. So every syllable he gives you is thunderous
IF u catch Mufadhal then yes, he’s immense, but let him tell that one story of that one convo with Imam Sadiq again and again and again. Its hits home every time
I promise you won’t have a more real time than with Sulaym bin Qays al-Hilali - BUT - make sure it’s a closed room. He doesn’t hold back https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😉" title="Zwinkerndes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Zwinkerndes Gesicht">
(ppl will dispute what he said / if he was even in the room ect. but just listen trust me)
Mukhtar won’t laugh at ur jokes, if u make him smile even that’s a win. Dw though, he’s onto bigger things
