Then He -azwj Said and none would disbelieve in these – in these Verses, the evidence upon your -saww merits and the merits of Ali -asws after you -saww over the entirety of the beings, except for the transgressors [2:99] – the ones exiting from the Religion of Allah -azwj and His -azwj obedience – from the Jews and the liars, and the Nasibis – the ones calling themselves as Muslims’’.

The Imam -asws said: ‘Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws Zayn Al-Abideen -asws said: ‘And that is, that Rasool-Allah -saww , when Abdullah Bin Salam believed in him -saww after having asked questions to Rasool-Allah -saww , and him -saww having answered these, said to him -saww , ‘O Muhammad -saww !

There remain one, and it is the big question and the ultimate purpose – who is the one who will replace you -saww after you -saww , and fulfil your -saww debts, and accomplish your -saww promises made, and pay back your -saww entrustments, and clarify your -saww Signs and your -saww proofs?’ Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Those companions seated (over there), go to them, and the shining light will point you – a circular spot on (the face of) my -saww Appointed heir (by Allah -azwj ) and the surface of his -asws cheeks, and your scroll would speak that he -asws is the successor -asws , and your body parts would testify with that’.

Abdullah came to the group – and he saw Ali -asws with light shining from his -asws face – bedazzling the light of the sun, and his scroll spoke, and (so did) his body parts, all saying, ‘O Ibn Salam!

This is Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , the replenisher of the Gardens of Allah -azwj with those that love him -asws , and (replenisher) of His -azwj Fires with his -asws adversaries, the emitter of the Religion of Allah -azwj in the countries of the earth and its horizons, and the negator of the Kufr from its environs and its parts. Therefore, get attached with his -asws Wilayah to become fortunate, and affirm upon the submission to him -asws to become rightly guided’.

So Abdullah Bin Salam said, ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! This is your -saww successor -asws who is Promised in the Torah! I hereby testify that there is no god except Allah -azwj , Alone, there being no associate for Him -azwj . And I testify that Muhammad -saww is His -azwj servant and His -azwj Chosen Rasool -saww , and His -azwj Trustee being Pleased with, and His -azwj Emir upon the entirety of the people.
