Hadith 199
۞
4. He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Muhammad al-Katib reported to me from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali al-Za’farani, who reported from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Uthman ibn Abi Shaibah from Amru ibn Maymoon, from Ja’far ibn Muhammad from his father, from his grandfather, peace be upon them, that
Amirul Mu’mineen ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, once said from the pulpit of Kufa: "O people, the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him and his progeny, has awarded me ten traits; and they are dearer to me than anything upon which the sun shines." He said to me: ‘Ali, you are my brother in this world and in the next; And on the Day of Judgement, when we stand before the Almighty, you will be nearest of all to me; Your abode in Paradise will be facing mine, the way brothers in faith live, with their houses facing each other; You are my heir; You are my executor after me, to fulfil my promises and my affairs; And in my absence, you are the guardian of my family, on my behalf; You are the Imam of my Ummah; You are the one to uphold justice among my subjects; You are my beloved one; and Allah loves who I love; Your foe is my foe and my foe is the foe of Allah.

قال أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام على منبر الكوفة: أيها الناس إنه كان لي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عشر خصال، هن أحب إلي مما طلعت عليه الشمس: قال لي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: يا علي أنت أخي في الدنيا والآخرة، وأنت أقرب الخلائق إلي يوم القيامة في الموقف بين يدي الجبار، ومنزلك في الجنة مواجه منزلي كما يتواجه منازل الإخوان في الله عز وجل، وأنت الوارث مني، وأنت الوصي من بعدي في عداتي وأمري، وأنت الحافظ لي في أهلي عند غيبتي، وأنت الإمام لأمتي، والقائم بالقسط في رعيتي، وأنت وليي، ووليي ولي الله، وعدوك عدوي، وعدوي عدو الله.
