The Messenger of Allah (s) said to `Ali b. Abi Talib (as): O `Ali! You are the master of my Pond, my standard bearer, the one who faces my enemies, the beloved of my heart, and the inheritor of my knowledge. You are the place of the inheritance of the prophets. You are the trustee of Allah in His Earth. You are the Proof of Allah over His creatures. You are the pillar of faith, the lantern in the darkness, the light post of guidance, and the raised flag for the people of this world. Whoever follows you is saved, and whoever turns away from you is destroyed. You are the clear road and the Straight Path. You are the Leader of the shining believers. You are the chief of the believers. You are the Master of everyone I am a Master of, and I am the Master of every believing man and woman. None will love you except he who is pure of birth, and none will hate you except he who is impure of birth. My Lord did not raise me up to heaven and speak to me except that He said to me: “O Muhammad! Recite My salaam to `Ali and make him recognize that he is the Imam of My friends and the light of the people of My obedience.” Congratulations to you, `Ali, for this honour.
14 - حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان، قال: حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن أبي حاتم، قال: حدثني هارون بن إسحاق الهمداني، قال: حدثني عبدة بن سليمان، قال: حدثنا كامل بن العلاء، قال: حدثنا حبيب بن أبي ثابت، عن سعيد بن جبير، عن عبد الله بن عباس، قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) لعلي بن أبي طالب (عليه السلام): يا علي، أنت صاحب حوضي، وصاحب لوائي، ومنحز عداتي، وحبيب قلبي، ووارث علمي، وأنت مستودع مواريث الانبياء، وأنت أمين الله في أرضه، وأنت حجة الله على بريته، وأنت ركن الايمان، وأنت مصباح الدجى، وأنت منار الهدى، وأنت العلم المرفوع لاهل الدنيا، من تبعك نجا، ومن تخلف عنك هلك، وأنت الطريق الواضح، وأنت الصراط المستقيم، وأنت قائد الغر المحجلين، وأنت يعسوب المؤمنين، وأنت مولى من أنا مولاه، وأنا مولى كل مؤمن ومؤمنة، لا يحبك إلا طاهر الولادة، ولا يبغضك إلا خبيث الولادة، وما عرج بي ربي عز وجل إلى السماء قط وكلمني ربي إلا قال لي: يا محمد، اقرأ عليا مني السلام، وعرفه أنه إمام أوليائي، ونور أهل طاعتي، فهنيئا لك - يا علي - على هذه الكرامة (1).
