Hadith 116

d Create him-as, and Blow into him-as from His-azwj Spirit, and Turn to him-as, and Return him-as to His-azwj Paradise, except my-saww Prophet-hood and the Wilayah of Ali-asws after me-saww. By the One in Whose Hand is my-saww soul! He-azwj neither Showed Ibrahim-as kingdoms of the skies and the earth, nor did He-azwj Take him-as as a friend, except due to my-saww Prophet-hood and the acknowledgment to Ali-asws after me-saww. By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-saww soul! Allah-azwj did not Speak to Musa-as in a conversation, nor did He-azwj Establish Isa-as as a Sign for the worlds, except due to my-saww Prophet-hood and recognition of Ali-asws after me-saww. By the One in Whose Hand is my-saww soul! No Prophet-as was Given the news except with my-saww recognition and the acknowledgment to us-asws with the Wilayah, nor is it Permissible from Allah-azwj for a creature to be looking at Him-azwj except with the servitude to Him-azwj and acknowledgment to Ali-asws after me-saww’’. Then he (Al-Miqdad-ra) was silent, so I said, ‘Is there anything other than this? May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-ra! ’
He-ra said, ‘Yes. I-ra heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘Ali-asws is a judge of this community, and the witness upon it, and the one in charge of its Reckoning, and he-asws is the owner of the mighty peaks, and the paths of joyful truth, and the Way, and the Straight Path of Allah-azwj. They will be guided by him-asws from the straying after me-saww and be seeing by him-asws from the blindness. By him-asws the saved ones would attain salvation, and rescued from the death, and be secured from the fear, and the evil deeds would be obliterated by him-asws, and the grievances repelled, and the Mercy will descend. And he-asws is the looking Eye of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj listening Ear, and His-azwj speaking Tongue among His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj extended Hand with mercy upon His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj Face in the skies and the earth, and His-azwj Right Side apparent, and His-azwj strong Rope. And he-asws is His-azwj firmest Handhold which there are no cracks for it, and His-azwj Door which He-azwj can be accessed from, and His-azwj House, which one who enters it would be safe, and His-azwj flag upon the Bridge during his-asws Resurrection. One who recognises him would attain salvation to the Paradise, and one denying him-asws would collapse into the Fire’’. [234]
And from him, from Suleym who said, ‘I heard Salman Al-Farsi-ra saying, ‘Ali-asws is a door Opened by Allah-azwj. One who enters it would be a Momin, and one who exits from it would be a Kafir’’. [235]
