The Messenger of Allah (s) said to `Ali (as): O `Ali! Your Shi`a will be the winners on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever insults one of them has insulted you, and whoever insults you has insulted me, and whoever insults me will be sent by Allah to the Fire of Hell forever in the misery of fate. O `Ali! You are from me, and I am from you. Your spirit is from my spirit and your clay is from my clay. Your Shi`a were created from the surplus of our clay. So, whoever loves them has loved us, and whoever hates them has hated us, and whoever opposes them has opposed us, and whoever adores them has adored us. O `Ali! Surely, your Shi`a will be forgiven of their sins and their flaws. O `Ali! I will be the intercessor of your Shi`a once I attain the Praised Position, so give them glad tidings of that. O `Ali! Your Shi`a are the Shi`a of Allah, and your supporters are the supporters of Allah, and your friends are the friends of Allah, and your party is the party of Allah. O `Ali! Whoever aligns with you will be happy, and whoever opposes you will be sorrowful. O `Ali! For you is a treasure in Paradise, and you are its Dhul Qarnayn.
