10-7 Muḥammad b. ʿAlī Mājīlawayh, may God be pleased with him, narrated to us, he said: Muḥammad b. Abū al-Qāsim narrated to me; from Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Kūfī, he said: Naṣr b. Muzāḥim al-Minqarī narrated to me; from Abū al-Khālid; from Zayd b. ʿAlī b. al-Ḥusayn; from his forefathers (ʿas), from ʿAlī (ʿas) who said
"I possess ten distinctive characteristics given to me by the Messenger of God (ṣ), which he never gave to any after me. He had said to me, 'You are my brother in this world and the next. Your place of standing will be the closest of anyone to mine on the Day of Judgement. Your house and my house face one another in the Garden, in the manner of the house of two brothers. You are the legatee, the successor, and the vizier. Your enemy is my enemy, and my enemy is God's enemy. Your friend is my friend, and my friend is God's friend.'"
10-7 حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه رضي الله عنه قال: حدثني محمد بن أبي القاسم عن محمد بن علي الكوفي قال: حدثنا نصر بن مزاحم المنقري، عن أبي خالد، عن زيد بن علي بن الحسين، عن آبائه، عن علي عليهم السلام قال
كان لي عشر من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لم يعطهن أحد قبلي ولا يعطاهن أحدا بعدي قال لي: ياعلي أنت أخي في الدنيا والآخرة: وأنت أقرب الناس مني موقفا يوم القيامة، ومنزلي ومنزلك في الجنة متواجهين كمنزل الاخوين، وأنت الوصي، وأنت الولي، وانت الوزير، وعدوك عدوي وعدوي عدو الله، ووليك وليي ووليي ولي الله
