Hadith 154

(The book) ‘Kashf al Yaqeen’ – Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Bin Shazan, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ubeydullah, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Amro Bin Abu Al Muqdam, from his, from Saeed Bin Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the truth as a giver of glad tidings! Neither the Chair, nor the Throne, nor the rotations of the planets were settled, nor were the skies and the earth established, except by there being written upon it: “There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen”. And when Allah-azwj the Exalted Ascended me-saww to the sky and the Subtle Specialised me-saww with His-azwj call, He-azwj Said: “O Muhammad-saww! ” I-saww said: ‘At Your-azwj service my-saww Lord-azwj and Your-azwj assistance! ’
He-azwj Said: “I-azwj am ‘Al-Mahmoud’ (the most praised one) and you-saww are ‘Mahmoud’ (the praised one), and you-saww Muhammad-saww, I-azwj Derived your-saww name from My-azwj Name and Merited you-saww over entirety of My-azwj Created beings. So, install Ali-asws are a flag for My-azwj servants to guide them to My-azwj religion! O Muhammad-saww! I-azwj have Made Ali-asws as Emir of the Momineen, so the one who governs upon him-asws, I-azwj shall Curse him, and one opposing him-asws, I-azwj shall Punish him, and one obeying him-asws, I-azwj shall Draw him near! O Muhammad-saww! I-azwj have Made Ali-asws as Imam-asws of the Muslims, so the one who goes ahead of him-asws, I-azwj shall Disgrace him, and one disobeying him-asws, I-azwj shall Imprison him. Surely, Ali-asws is chief of the successors-as, and guide of the resplendent, and My-azwj Divine Authority upon the creatures in their entirety! ”’[70]
