But, come, until we go to him -saww and display the cheerfulness to him -asws with the matter of Ali -asws (that he -asws is safe) in order for his -saww heart to be at rest towards us, until we accomplish our plot regarding him saww .’ فَحَضَرُوهُ وَ هَنَّئُوهُ عَلَى سَلَامَةِ عَلِىٍّ مِنَ الْوَرْطَةِ الَّتِي رَامَهَا أَعْدَاؤُهُ So, they presented themselves to him -asws and congratulated him -saww upon the safety of Ali ‑asws from the predicament which his -asws enemies had wished it.
ثُمَّ قَالُوا لَهُ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ عَلِىٍّ أَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ أَمْ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هَلْ شُرِّفَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَّا بِحُبِّهَا لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ قَبُولِهَا لِوَلَايَتِهِمَا إِنَّهُ لَا أَحَدَ مِنْ مُحِبِّي عَلِيٍّ ع نُظِّفَ قَلْبُهُ مِنْ قَذَرِ الْغِشِّ وَ الدَّغَلِ وَ الْغِلِّ وَ نَجَاسَةِ الذُّنُوبِ إِلَّا كَانَ أَطْهَرَ وَ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ Then they said to him -saww , ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! Inform us about Ali -asws .
Is he -asws superior or the Angels of Proximity of Allah -azwj ?’ So Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘And are the Angels noble except by their loved for Muhammad -saww and Ali -asws , and their acceptance of their -asws Wilayah ? There is no one from those that love Ali -asws , and his heart has been cleaned from the filth of the deceit, and malice and corruption and the impurities of the sins – except (even) he would be cleaner and superior than the Angels.
وَ هَلْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ الْمَلَائِكَةَ بِالسُّجُودِ لآِدَمَ إِلَّا لِمَا كَانُوا قَدْ وَضَعُوهُ فِي نُفُوسِهِمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يَصِيرُ فِي الدُّنْيَا خَلْقٌ بَعْدَهُمْ إِذَا رَفَعُوهُمْ عَنْهَا إِلَّا وَ هُمْ يَعْنُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُمْ فِي الدِّينِ فَضْلًا وَ أَعْلَمَ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِدِينِهِ عِلْماً And was Allah -azwj Commanding the Angels with the Sajda to Adam -as except due to what they had placed it within themselves that there would be coming into the world, a creature after them when they have been Raised from it – except and they were meaning their own selves – (who would be) superior than him -as in the Religion excessively, and more knowledgeable with Allah -azwj and His -azwj Prophet -saww in knowledge.
