Hadith 152

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The servant, when he goes out in seeking the knowledge, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Calls out to him from above the Throne: “Congratulations to you, O Myazwj servant! Do you know which status you are seeking? And which rank you are wishing for? Myazwj Angels of Proximity are competing that there should happen to be a pair for them, delivering to your purpose, and make you arrive to your need”. It was said to Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, ‘What is the meaning of ‘The Angels of Proximity of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic are competing that there should happen to be a pair for them? ’
Heasws said: ‘But, have you not heard the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him, and (so testify) the Angels and the ones with the knowledge, maintaining His creation with justice; there is no god except Him, the Mighty, the Wise [3: 18]? So Heazwj Began with Himselfazwj, and secondly with Hisazwj Angels, and thirdly with the ones with knowledge, those who are pairs of Hisazwj Angels, and their Chief is Muhammadsaww, and their second is Aliasws, and their third is hisasws family, and they are more rightful of the rank after himasws’. Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘Then you, O group of Shias, the learned ones with ourasws knowledge, firstly being paired with usasws and with the Angels of Proximity of the Lordazwj, testifiers to Allahazwj with Hisazwj Tawheed (Oneness), and Hisazwj Justice, and Hisazwj Benevolence, and Hisazwj Generosity, cutting off the excuses of the supporters, from Hisazwj maids and Hisazwj servants. So the best of the opinions for yourselves, are your own opinions, and the best great share is what you have chosen, and with the most noble of the fortunes is your fortune where you are paired with Muhammadsaww and hissaww Pure Progenyasws, and representatives of Allahazwj in Hisazwj earth, publicising Hisazwj Tawheed (Oneness) and doing Hisazwj Glorification. And congratulations to you that Muhammadsaww is Chief of the formers ones and the latter ones, and that the companions of Muhammadsaww are the friends of the friends of Muhammadsaww, and disavowers from theirasws enemies, being the most superior of the community of the Rasoolsas; and that Allahazwj will not Accept any deed from anyone except by this belief (doctrine), nor will Heazwj Forgive a sin for him, nor Accept any good deed for him, nor Raise any Level for him, except by it’’.
