Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim al-Mu’addab narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Abi `Abdullah al-Kufi narrated to us from Sahl b. Ziyad from Ja`far b. Muhammad b. Bashar from `Ubaydallah b. `Abdullah al-Dahqan from Darast b. Abi Mansur al-Wasiti from `Abd al-Hamid b. Abi’l `Alaa’ from Thabit b. Dinar from Sa`d b. Turayf al-Khaffaf from al-Asbagh b. Nubata. He said
Amir al-Mu’minin (as) said: I am the vicegerent of the Messenger of Allah, his vizier, and his inheritor. I am the brother of the Messenger of Allah, his deputy, and his beloved. I am the elite one of the Messenger of Allah and his companion. I am the cousin of the Messenger of Allah, the husband of his daughter, and the father of his descendants. I am the Master of the Deputies and the Deputy of the Master of Prophets. I am the decisive argument, the great sign, the highest ideal, and the gate of the Chosen Prophet. I am the Firm Handle, the pious word, the faithful of Allah, and His reminder for the people of this world.

قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): أنا خليفة رسول الله ووزيره ووارثه، أنا أخو رسول الله ووصيه وحبيبه، أنا صفي رسول الله وصاحبه، أنا ابن عم رسول الله وزوج ابنته وأبو ولده، أنا سيد الوصيين ووصي سيد النبيين، أنا الحجة العظمى والآية الكبرى والمثل الاعلى وباب النبي المصطفى، أنا العروة الوثقى، وكلمة التقوى، وأمين الله تعالى ذكره على أهل الدنيا (5).
