ويؤيده: قوله تعالى (إن الدين عند الله الاسلام) وهولا يتم إلا بالولاية، لانه سبحانه يوم فرض الولاية قال: (اليوم أكملت لكم دينكم وأتممت عليكم نعمتي ورضيت لكم الاسلام دينا) And it is supported by the Words of the Exalted: The Religion in the Presence of Allah is Al-Islam [3:19] and it is not complete except by Al-Wilayah , because the Glorious One -azwj Said on the day that He -azwj Obligated the Wilayah : This day have I perfected for you your Religion and completed My Favour on you and Chosen for you Al-Islam as a Religion [5:3] .

فلولا الولاية لم يكمل الدين، ولم تتم النعمة، ولم يرض الله سبحانه لنا دين الاسلام، فلاجل ذلك صار الدين الولاية، فتمسك بها تكن من أهلها الموالين وقل عند لك: الحمد لله رب العالمين Had it not been for Al-Wilayah , the Religion would not have been perfected, nor would the Favours have been completed, nor would Allah -azwj the Glorious have been Pleased for us with the Religion of Al-Islam. For that purpose Al-Wilayah became the Religion.

So attach with it, (and) you would become from its people, the Al-Mawaleen (those with Al-Wilayah ), and say during that, ‘The Praise is for Allah -azwj , Lord -azwj of the worlds’’.

[7] Who are ‘أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ’ (the friends of Allah -azwj ) Allah -azwj Says: أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِياءَ اللَّهِ‏ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ (6210:) Indeed, (as for) the friends of Allah – they shall have no fear nor shall they be grieving وَ الَّذينَ اتَّخَذُوا مِنْ دُونِهِ أَوْلِياءَ اللَّهُ‏ حَفيظٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ ما أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَكيلٍ (642:) And (as for) those who take guardians besides Him, Allah is a Protector over them, and you are not an agent for them.

العياشي: عن عبد الرحمن بن سالم الأشل، عن بعض الفقهاء، قال: قال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): أَلا إِنَّ أَوْلِياءَ اللَّهِ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ، ثم قال: «تدرون من أولياء الله؟» قالوا: من هم، يا أمير المؤمنين؟ فقال: «هم نحن و أتباعنا فمن تبعنا من بعدنا، طوبى لنا و طوبى لهم، و طوباهم أفضل من طوبانا Al Ayyashi, from Abdul Rahman Bin Saalim Al Ashal, from one of the jurists who said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘ [10:62] Indeed, (as for) the friends of Allah – they shall have no fear nor shall they be grieving ’.

Then he (the Imam -asws ) asked: ‘Do you all know who the friends of Allah -azwj are?’ They said, ‘Who are they, O Amir Al-Momineen -asws ?’ So he -asws said: ‘They are us -asws , and the ones who follow us -asws .
