4-4 Abul Hussein Muhammad ibn Ali ibn ash-Shah narrated that Abu Hamid Ahmad ibn al-Hussein quoted Abu Yazid Ahmad ibn Khalid al-Khalidy, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Salih al-Tamimy, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Anas ibn Muhammad Abu Malik, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his grandfather (MGB), on the authority of Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) that in his will to Ali God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
O Ali, the prayers of four classes of people are never unanswered: just rulers, fathers when they pray for their sons, people who privately pray for their brethren, and the oppressed. The Majestic the Glorified God says, ‘I swear by My Glory and Majesty that I will take your revenge (referring to the oppressed) when proper.’”
4-4 حدثنا أبوالحسين محمد بن علي بن الشاه قال: حدثنا أبوحامد أحمد بن الحسين قال: حدثنا أبويزيد أحمد بن خالد الخالدي، عن محمد بن أحمد بن صالح التميمي قال: حدثنا أبي قال: حدثني أنس بن محمد أبومالك، عن أبيه، عن جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله
أنه قال في وصيته له: يا علي أربعة لا ترد لهم دعوة: إمام عادل، ووالد لولده، والرجل يدعو لاخيه بظهر الغيب، والمظلوم، يقول الله جل جلالة: وعزتي وجلالي لانتصرن لك ولو بعد حين
