This love does not lead to the love of the Messenger of Ekrem (peace and blessings be upon him) or to the love of the Lord of Truth. On the contrary, excess in it causes envy and jealousy of others.
Indeed, they have fallen into discord because of excessive love for Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him), and because of their separation from Hazrat Abu Bakr as-Siddiq and Hazrat Umar. This negative love is the cause of discord.
Also, with a definite and authentic narration, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"If they go to al-Mutayyi', and the daughters of Persia and Rome serve them, Allah will turn their wrath among themselves and will empower the worst among them over the best."
He warned that when Persian and Roman women serve them, their calamity and discord will enter their hearts, and their war will become internal, with the wicked overpowering the good. As he foretold, this happened exactly thirty years later.
Also, with a definite and authentic narration, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The conquest of Khaybar will be in the hands of Ali."
Ali conquered the fortress of Khaybar the next day. As a miraculous sign from the Prophet, Hazrat Ali pulled the gate of the fortress as if it were a shield and used it to conquer it. After the conquest, he threw the gate to the ground. Eight strong men could not lift it from the ground. In one narration, forty men could not lift it.
Also, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"The Hour will not come until two groups fight, although their claim is one."
He foretold the war between Hazrat Ali and Muawiyah at Siffin.

He had declared: "When Kisrâ of Persia dies, there will be no Kisrâ after him," and this was indeed what happened.
He had also told the Persian envoy: "Now the son of Kisrâ, Shirviyeh Perviz, has killed Kisrâ." The envoy investigated and found it to be true at that very moment. He too became a Muslim. In some Hadiths, the name of that envoy is given as Firuz.
Also, according to a definite and authentic narration, the Prophet had informed them about a letter that Hâtib ibn Abi Beltea had sent secretly to the Quraysh. He sent Hazrat Ali and Mikdad with the instruction: "There is a letter at such-and-such a place on such a person; go and bring it." They went and retrieved the same letter from that very place. Hâtib was summoned. "Why did you do this?" he was asked; he explained his excuse, and it was accepted.
Also, according to an authentic narration, the Prophet had declared: "The dog of Allah will eat him," foretelling the wretched end of Utbe ibn Abi Leheb. Later, while traveling towards Yemen, a lion came and devoured him, thus confirming both the Prophet's curse and his prediction.
Also, according to an authentic narration, during the conquest of Mecca, Hazrat Bilal al-Habashi climbed the Kaaba's roof and recited the call to prayer. The leaders of the Quraysh—Abu Sufyan, Attab ibn Esid, and Haris ibn Hisam—were sitting and talking. Attab said: "My father Esid was so fortunate to not see this day." Haris said: "Did Muhammad not find any other man besides this black crow to serve as a mu'azzin?" They mocked Hazrat Bilal al-Habashi. Abu Sufyan said: "I am afraid to say anything. Even if no one is there, the stones of Batha will speak for him and he will know." Indeed, a little later, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) encountered them and literally repeated what they had said. At that moment, Attab and Haris gave their testimony and became Muslims.

He had declared: "Indeed, a rebellious group will kill Ammar." Later, he was killed at the Battle of Siffin. Hazrat Ali showed evidence that his killers were supporters of Muawiya who had rebelled. However, Muawiya denied it. Amr ibn al-As said: "The rebels are only those who killed him; we are not all rebels."
He had declared: "Fitnahs will not appear as long as Umar is alive," meaning "As long as Hazrat Umar is alive, fitnahs will not appear among you." He had foretold this, and it indeed happened.
Suhayl ibn Amr was captured before he accepted Islam. Hazrat Umar said to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Allow me to extract his teeth, for he used his eloquence to encourage the disbelievers of Quraysh to fight us." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, declared: "And perhaps he will stand in a place that will please you, O Umar." At the time of the Prophet's death, when the terrifying and sorrowful incident occurred, Hazrat Abu Bakr al-Siddiq comforted everyone with utmost sincerity in Medina and delivered an important sermon to calm the Companions. Similarly, Suhayl, at that time in the sacred city of Mecca, comforted the Companions and delivered a speech similar to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq's sermon, using his eloquence. Indeed, the words of the two sermons were very similar.
He had declared to Suraka:
"Indeed, when you wear the bracelets of Kisra," meaning "You will wear the two bracelets of Kisra." During the time of Hazrat Umar, Kisra was defeated, and his ornaments and magnificent bracelets arrived. Hazrat Umar had them put on Suraka. He said: "Praise be to Allah, who stripped Kisra of them and clothed them on Suraka," which confirmed the Prophetic prophecy.
