5-95 Al-Hussein ibn Ibrahim ibn Tatanat, Al-Hussein ibn Ibrahim ibn Ahmad ibn Hisham al-Mokattib, Ahmad ibn Zyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamedany and Ali ibn Abdullah al-Var’raq - may God be pleased with them - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashim quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Yasir - the servant , on the authority of Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (MGB), on the authority of his father Musa ibn Ja’far (MGB), on the authority of his father Ja’far ibn Muhammad (MGB), on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Ali (MGB), on the authority of his father Ali ibnal-Hussein (MGB), on the authority of his father Al-Hussein ibn Ali (MGB), on the authority of the Commander of the Faithful Ali ibn Abi Talib (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
O Ali! I asked my Lord - the Honorable the Exalted - for five things regarding you. He granted them to me. The first thing was that when the Earth is rent asunder, I shall be the first one to be resurrected and wipe the dirt off of my face and you will be alongside me. This was accepted. The second thing I asked my Lord for was that when I am taken to the Scale for my deeds to be reckoned, you be with me. This was accepted. The third thing that I asked my Lord - the Honorable the Exalted – for was that you be the one carrying my flag called ‘Leva Allah Akbar ’” on which it is written, “The prosperous ones are those who attain Paradise!” This was accepted. The fourth thing that I asked was that you be the one at my Pool to serve water to my nation. This was accepted. And the fifth thing that I asked my Lord for was that you be the one leading my nation to Paradise. This was also accepted. Therefore, I praise God for what He granted me.”
5-95 حدثنا الحسين بن إبراهيم بن ناتانة، والحسين بن أبراهيم بن أحمد بن هشام المكتب، وأحمد بن زياد بن جعفر الهمداني، وعلي بن عبد الله الوراق رضي الله عنهم قالوا: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن ياسر الخادم قال: حدثنا علي بن موسى الرضا، عن أبيه موسى بن جعفر، عن أبيه جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه محمد بن علي، عن أبيه علي بن الحسين، عن أبيه الحسين بن عـلي، عـنأبيه أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب عليهم السلام قال
قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: يا علي إني سألت ربي عز وجل فيك خمس خصال فأعطاني، أما أولها فاني سألته أن تنشق الارض عني فأنفض التراب عن رأسي وأنت معي، فأعطاني. وأما الثانية فاني سألته أن يقفني عند كفة الميزان وأنت معي، فأعطاني. وأما الثالثة فسألت ربي عز وجل أن يجعلك حامل لوائي وهو لواء الله الاكبر، عليه مكتوب "المفلحون الفائزون بالجنة"، فأعطاني. وأما الرابعة فاني سألته أن يسقى امتي من حوضي بيدك، فأعطاني. وأما الخامسة فإني سألته أن يجعلك قائد امتي إلى الجنة فأعطاني.والحمد لله الذي من علي به
