Who will be his enemy and who will fight him?

Who will be his enemy and who will fight him?

Rafi’ slave of Ayesha (la), narrates: I was a young boy serving Ayesha (la), and when Rasulullah (saw) was with her, I used to serve them. 

One day, while Rasulullah (saw) was sitting with Ayesha (la), someone knocked at the door.  I opened the door and it was a maid with a covered dish, so I went back and I told Ayesha (la). Ayesha (la) told me to bring her in. She came in and put the dish in front of Ayesha (la), and Ayesha (la) put it in front of Rasulullah (saw).  So Rasulullah (saw) started eating from the dish and the maid left.  

Then Rasulullah (saw) said, “I wish Ameerul Momineen , the Master of Muslims (Syedul Muslameen), and the Imam of the pious (Imam ul muttaqeen ) was here eating with me.” 

Ayesha (la) said, “To whom are you referring that has all of these titles?” 

Rasulullah (saw) did not answer.  Then he repeated what he said. 

She (Ayesha la) asked again, “To whom are you referring that has all of these titles?” 

Rasulullah (saw) did not answer. Then someone knocked at the door and I opened it. It was Ali (asws) bin Abi Taleb (as).  I went back and told the Prophet (saw), and he said to bring him in.

Rasulullah (saw) said, “O Abal Hasan (asws), welcome. I wished for you twice. When you did not come, I asked Allah to bring you for me. So sit down and eat with me.” 

Then Ali (asws) sat down and ate with Rasulullah (saw). Then Rasulullah (saw) said, “O Ali (asws), may Allah fight those who fight you, and may Allah be the enemy of your enemies.”

So Ayesha (la) said, “Who will fight him and be his enemy?” 

Rasulullah (saw) replied to her, “You and those with you.  You will accept fighting him and will not refuse it.” Rasulullah (saw) repeated this twice.
