Hadith 7

se are the bounties of Allah-azwj extended towards me-asws and have Made easier for me the grand atrocities. And there is no (true) Imam-asws but he-asws recognises the people of Wilayah (who submit to our mastership), and that is the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: But rather, you are a Warner, and for every people there is a Guide [13: 7]. Ali-asws, then descended (from the pulpit). Blessing of Allah-azwj as well as numerous Greetings be upon him-asws and his-asws purified Progeny-asws, the righteous (among them-asws)’’. [140]
Kitab Al Gharaat of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi, from Ismail Bin Aban in the presence of Abdul Ghaffar, from Al Minhal Bin Amro, from Zir Bin Hubeysh who said, ‘I heard Amir Al-Momineen-asws addressing’. Ibrahim said, ‘And I have been informed by Ahmad Bin Imran Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Layli, from his father, from Ibn Abu layli, from Al Minhal, from Zirr Bin Jubeysh who said, ‘Ali-asws was at Al-Nahrawan’ – and he continued the Hadeeth approximate to the Hadeeth of Suleym up to his-asws words: and you will never find any alteration in the Sunnah of Allah [33: 62]’’.

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij’ – It is reported from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said, ‘During one of the days, I entered to see Amir Al-Momineen-asws in the central (Masjid) of Al-Kufa, and there was a huge crowd, and with them was a black slave. They said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! This slave is a thief’. The Imam-asws said to him: ‘Did you steal, O boy! ’ He said to him-asws, ‘Yes’. He-asws said to him for a second time: ‘Did you steal, O boy! ’ He said, ‘Yes, O my Master-asws’. The Imam-asws said to him: ‘If you say it for a third time, I-asws shall cut your right hand. Did you steal, O boy! ’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O my Master-asws’. The Imam-asws (ordered) with the cutting of his right hand, so it was cut. He grabbed it by his left hand, and it was dripping blood. Ibn Al-Kawa met him, and he (Ibn Al-Kawa) was an adversary of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. He said to him, ‘Who cut your right hand? ’
He said, ‘My right hand was but by the filled belly (Anza’a Al-Bateen), and the door of certainty, and the strong Rope of Allah-azwj, and the intercessor on the Day of Reckoning, the prayer of fifty-one (Cycles of Salat). My right hand was cut by the Imam-asws of the pious, and son-asws of an uncle-as of the Chosen one-saww, compassionate to the Selected Prophet-saww, lion of the earth, downpour of the devoutness, the sword (against) the enemies, and the key of the calling, and lamp for the darkness.
