Hadith 55

asws? ’ He-saww said: ‘This here is Jibraeel-as saying: ‘Come on O Husayn-asws! ’ Al-Husayn-asws wrestled Al-Hassan-asws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Rasool-Allah-saww looked at them-asws one day and they-asws had just come. He-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj! These are two chiefs of the youths of the people of Paradise, and their-asws father-asws is better than them-asws. The best of the people in my-saww presence, and the most beloved to me-saww, and their most honourable to me-asws is your-asws father-asws, then your-asws mother-asws, and there isn’t anyone in the Presence of Allah-azwj more superior than me-saww, and my-saww brother-asws, and my-saww Vizier, and my-saww caliph in my-saww community, and guardian of every Momin after me-saww, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. Indeed! He-asws is my-saww friend, and my-saww Vizier, and my-saww elite, and my-saww caliph from after me-saww, and guardian of every Momin after me-saww. When he-asws passes away, then my-saww son-asws Al-Hassan-asws from after him-asws. When he-asws passes away, then my-saww son-asws Al-Husayn-asws from after him-asws. Then the Imams-asws from posterity of Al-Husayn-asws’. And in another report: ‘Then the nine Imams-asws from posterity of Al-Husayn-asws, the guides, the Guided. They-asws are with the truth and the truth is with them-asws. Neither will they-asws separate from it nor will it separate from them-asws up to the Day of Qiyamah, and they-asws are the foundations of the earth, those the earth is tranquil (due) to them-asws, and they-asws are the strong Rope of Allah-azwj, and they are the Firmest Handhold of Allah-azwj which there is not crack for it, and they-asws are Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth. And they-asws are His-azwj Witnesses upon His-azwj creatures, and Mine of His-azwj Knowledge, and they-asws are at the status of the ship of Noah-as, one who sails it attains salvation and one who neglects it, drowns, and they-asws are at the status of the Door of Hitta among the children of Israel, one who enters it would be a Momin, and one who exits from it would be a Kafir. Allah-azwj has Imposed obedience to them-asws in the Book and Commanded in it with having their-asws Wilayah. One who obeys them-asws obeys Allah-azwj, and one who disobeys them-asws disobeys Allah-azwj’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Al-Husayn-asws came to Rasool-Allah-saww while he-saww was performing Sajdah. He-asws cleaved through the rows until he-asws came to the Prophet-saww and climbed upon his-saww back. Rasool-Allah-saww arose and he-saww had placed his-saww hand upon the back of Al-Husayn-asws and his-saww other hand upon his-asws knee, until he-saww was free from his-saww Salat. And Al-Hassan-asws had come to him-saww while he-saww was upon the pulpit, addressing. He-asws climbed up to him-saww upon a shoulder of the Prophet-saww, and dangled his-asws leg upon his-saww chest to the extent that the brightness of his-asws anklet was seen, and Rasool-Allah-saww was addressing, withholding him-asws like that until he-saww was free from his-saww address’’.
