I am Allah – there is no god but Me. I created the creation with My power. I selected whomever I wished to be My prophets from among them. I selected Muhammad from all of them to be My Beloved, My Friend, and My elite one. I sent him as a Messenger to My creation. I chose `Ali for him, and I made him his brother, his deputy, his vizier, and his representative to My creation after him. He is My vicegerent over My servants, who clarifies My Book to them and applies My judgment among them. I have made him the sign that guides from misguidance, My gate from which I am come to, My house – whoever enters it is safe from My Fire, My fortress – whoever seeks refuge in it is protected from the hateful things of this world and the Hereafter, My Face – whoever faces it, I will not turn My Face away from, and My Proof in the heavens and the Earths over all that is in them of my creatures. I will not accept the deeds of any of them unless they declare his wilaya alongside the prophethood of Ahmad, My Messenger. He is My open hand over My servants. He is the blessing by which I bless those who I love from among My servants. Whoever I love from among My servants, I make him recognize him and his wilaya. Whoever I hate from My servants. I make him not recognize him and his wilaya. I swear by My glory and I vow by My majesty: surely, no servant from My servants will align with `Ali except that I will displace him from the Fire and enter him into Paradise; and no servant from My servants will hate him and reject his wilaya except that I will hate him and enter him into the Fire in the misery of fate.
