Imam Ali(as) said: “I am the distributor of Hell"

Bismillah

Sawaiq al Muhriqah, page 429:
“Darqutni narrates that Hadhrat Ali carried out a lengthy discussion with those six people whom Hadhrat Umar had nominated for the committee. And in that this was also included: "I ask you to swear upon Allah and then say if there is anyone amongst you other than me about whom Prophet [saww] has said to that O Ali! You are the distributor of heaven and hell." And they said: By God, he said this to none of us.
Antara has narrated from Ali Raza who said that the Holy Prophet [saww] said to him (Ali as) that you are the distributor of heaven and hell. On the day of judgement the fire will say: "This is for me and that is for you.
…Abu Bakr narrates that the Prophet (s) said no one will be allowed to cross the bridge on the Day of Judgement until he has the permission of Ali”


Qadi Ayad in his famed work al-Shifa page 22 [Egypt] states:
“The pious predecessors and scholars of Hadith have stated that ‘Ali will send his enemies to Hell, and his friends to Heaven, as he is the distributor of Hell”.


Now we move to a clear-cut hadith on the topic. Al-Dailami records:

Hudaifa narrated: “Ali is the distributor of Hell”
Firdaus al-Akhbar, Volume 3 page 90 Hadith 3999


Mulla Ali Muttaqi al-Hind also quoted Maula Ali’s own admission in this regard:

عن علي قال‏:‏ أنا قسيم النار


"Ali said: I am the distributor of Hell"

Another favourite scholar of Salafies Abu Bakar Al-Khalal in his book "Asunnah bi Abi Bakar bin Khalal" page 825 also recorded the words of Imam Ali:

Ali said: “I am the distributor of Hell"

Zamkhashri also records the same tradition in his book ‘Asaas al Balagha’, Kitab Qaaf 2:
