war against Iblees-la and the hardened ones of his-la renegades, the callers to opposing Me-azwj, and that they should be making their shield from them, the enmity to the enemies of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, and that they should make the best of their weapons against Iblees-la and his-la armies, the preferring of Muhammad-saww over the entirety of the Prophets-as, and the preference of Ali-asws over the rest of his-saww community in their entirety, and their beliefs that he-saww is the truthful not a liar, and the wise not an ignorant ones, and the correct not being heedless’. And the one-asws, by (having) his-asws love, the scales of the Momineen would be heavier, and by (having) his-asws hatred, the scales of the Nasibis would be light. So, when they would be doing that, Iblees-la and his-la armies of despicable renegades would be vanquished and be the weakest of the weak’’. [136]
Tafseer Imam-asws (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – And when it is said to them, ‘Follow what Allah has Revealed! ’, they are saying, ‘But, we follow what we found our fathers to be upon’, even though their fathers were neither understanding anything nor were they Guided [2: 170]. The Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Described these followers of the footsteps of Satan-la, so He-azwj Said: And when it is said to them – Come to what Allah-azwj Revealed in His-azwj Book from the description of Muhammad-saww and features of Ali-asws, and Described his-asws merits, and mentioned his-asws good deeds, and (his-asws good deeds) to the Rasool-saww. And come to the Rasool-saww to be accepting from him-saww what he-saww is ordering you with, they are saying, ‘It is sufficient what we found our fathers to be upon, from the religion and the doctrine’. So they were following their forefathers in the opposition of Rasool-Allah-saww and the deputyship of Ali-asws, Guardian-asws of Allah-azwj. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said even though their fathers were neither understanding– not knowing, anything nor were they Guided [2: 170] – to anything from the correctness.

Follow my-saww brother, my-saww successor Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws by the Command of Allah-azwj, and do not become like those who are taking lords from besides Allah-azwj, in Taqleed of the ignorance of their forefathers, the disbelievers in Allah-azwj, for the Muqallid (the emulator) in his religion is from the ones who does not know the Religion of Allah-azwj, engulfed by the Wrath from Allah-azwj, and becomes from the captives of Iblees-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la’. And know that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made my-saww brother Ali-asws as the most superior of adornments of my-saww family. So, Allah-azwj Said: “The one who befriends him-asws, and shakes his-asws hand, and befriends his-asws friends, and is inimical to his-asws enemies, I-azwj shall Make him to be from the most superior of the adornments of My-azwj Gardens, and from the noblest of My-azwj friends and My-azwj Purified ones”. And the one who is continuously upon our-asws love of the People-asws of the Household, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Open for him eight gates of the Paradise, and Permit all of them for him.

Will you not specialise me from between us (gates)? ’’[137]
