Hadith 137

ful, then it would reach me-asws that which he is saying’’. [151]
And from him as well, from Abaya who said, ‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘I-asws am chief of the grey-haired and in me-asws there is a Sunnah from Ayoub-as, because Ayoub-as had been afflicted, then Allah-azwj Granted him-as well-being from his-as afflictions and Gave him-as (back) his-as family, and similar to them with them, just as Allah-azwj the Glorious has Narrated’. It is reported that He-azwj Revived for him-as his-as family, the ones who had died, and Removed his-as harm, and it has been proven correct from them-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws, all what had happened in the children of Israel would be happening in this community, similar to it, step of the slipper with the slipper and the arrow with the arrow. And he-asws said that in him-asws was his-as resemblance. And his-asws words: ‘By Allah-azwj! Allah‑azwj will be Gathering for me-asws, my-asws family, just as they were Gathered for Yaqoub‑as. As for Yaqoub-as, there was a difference between him-as and his-as family, a span of time. Then they were Gathered for him-as’. He-asws had sworn that Allah-azwj the Glorious and Exalted will be Gathering for him-asws, his-asws children just as He-azwj had Gathered them for Yaqoub-as, and the uniting of Yaqoub-as with his‑as children was in the house of the world, therefore Amir Al-Momineen-asws would be like that in the world. They would be gathering for him-asws during his-asws return, and his-asws children are the Imams-asws, and they-asws are the ones texted upon of their-asws returning in their-asws correct Ahadith, the explicit, and the end-result is for the pious [7: 128], and they‑asws are the pious’’.
