Commander of the Faithful (ʿas) said, "I possess ten distinctive characteristics given to me by the Messenger of God (ṣ), each one of which is more valuable to me than everything over which the sun rises. He had said to me, 'You are my brother in this world and the next. You are the closest creation to me at the Halting Place. You are the Vizier, Legatee, and Caliph over the people and property. You are the one who bears my standard in this world and the next. Your friend is my friend, and my friend is God's friend. Your enemy is my enemy, and my enemy is God's enemy.'"
10-6 حدثنا أبو الحسن علي بن محمد بن الحسن المعروف بابن مقبرة القزويني قال: حدثنا أبو عبد الله محمد بن أحمد بن المؤمل قال: حدثنا محمد بن على بن خلف قال: حدثنا نصر بن مزاحم أبو الفضل العطار قال: حدثنا عمرو بن خالد، عن زيد بن علي، عن أبيه عن جده عليهم السلام قال
قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام:كان لي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عشر خصال ما أحب أن لي بإحداهن ما طلعت عليه الشمس قال لي: أنت أخي في الدنيا والآخرة، وأقرب الخلائق مني في الموقف، وأنت الوزير والوصي والخليفة في الاهل والمال، وأنت آخذ لوائي في الدنيا والآخرة، وليك وليي ووليي ولي الله، وعدوك عدوي وعدوي عدو الله
Notes
This and the following ḥadith both come from the book (kitāb) of ʿAmr b. Khālid al-Wāsiṭī. This text, which was transmitted from him by the historian and traditionist Naṣr b. Muzāḥim, was a collection of narrations from Zayd b. ʿAlī, as noted by Sayyid al-Khūʾī in Muʿjam. Compare these two and the following aḥādīth in this chapter with Amālī al-Mufīd, sess. 22, ḥad. 4, a ḥadīth cited from Ibrāhīm b. Muḥammad al-Thaqafī, the author of K. al-Ghārāt, quoting Ibn Abī Shaybah, quoting ʿAmr b. Maymūn, whom Sayyid al-Khūʾī posits in his Muʿjam to be ʿAmr b. Abī al-Miqdām.
