    That makes two of us then. I was so against 'barelvis' that I did not used to attend the mosque he is now khateeb in Bradford. A few years back 2000ish i was late for jum'a so I ended up going to a mosque where he was speaking whilst on tour. I was impressed by the way he would not just bash Wahabiya with poetry but with daleel.

    Indeed he is a lion of the Ahl us Sunnah.

    and then wrote we should respect aaqa sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam even less than an elder brother...what misfortune for him and those who defend him

    Sidi Aqdas, the hadith you have quoted about Hazrat Ali being called 'akhi e Rasul' by the people of Yemen was narrated also in a speech I heard by the peerless Sayyid Irfan Shah. He said that Imam Ali said to the Yemenis that although the Blessed Habib صلى الله عليه وسلم did called me his 'akhi' I myself do not consider myself like him, rather I say, (and Hazrat Ali's words are): Ana 'abeedum min 'ibaadi Muhammad! - I am a slave of the slaves of the Prophet!

    Subhan Allah! Ya 'Ali madad! This saying of Mawla Ali's is a slap in the face of such people like Ismail Dehlavi who wrote that we should only respect the Prophet as much as we respect an elder brother. Naudhubillah!

    This saying shows that even the one who perhaps could have claimed some similarity [mimathalat] to the Prophet (same grandfather, same blood, 'baab al 'ilm, son-in-law, cousin etc.) rather thought of himself as a mere slave!

    I thank Allah that he saved my Iman via the speeches of Sayyid 'Irfan Shah sahib when I was in danger of falling victim to modernist ideas and becoming soft on heretics.

    the last line is interesting...i have seen no-one like him before him nor after him. then we have the dimwits who claim mumathilah whilst our master 'Ali didnt.

    i think it was the people of yemen when they saw 'Ali they said here is akhi al-rasool. 'Ali said i am in blood the brother of rasulullah sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam but in reality i am his servant.

    and 'umar radiyallahu anh...he said i am 'abduhu wa khadimuhu...i am his sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam servant. this is in kanzul 'ummal and other books.

    jo kahte haiN nabi ko apni mithl bashar
    na hote kabhi gar hote 'umar
