If the desires differ and the opinions are split, so it is upon you to be with Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws , for he -asws is the Imam -asws of my -saww community, and my -saww Caliph over them from after me -saww , and he -asws is the Differentiator (Al-Farouq) who differentiates between the Truth and the falsehood. من سأله أجابه، و من استرشده أرشده، و من طلب الحق عنده وجده، و من التمس الهدى لديه صادفه، و من لجأ إليه أمنه، و من استمسك به أنجاه، و من اقتدى به هداه.

The one who asks him -asws , he -asws answers him, and the one will seek guidance from him -asws , he -asws will guide him, and the one who looks for the truth in his -asws presence would find it, and the one who sought guidance from him -asws came across it, and one who resorted to him -asws found security, and the one who attached himself to him -asws was Saved, and the one who followed him -asws was guided by him -asws .

يا بن سمرة، سلم منكم من سلم له و والاه، و هلك من رد عليه و عاداه- O Bin Samrat! The safe one among you is the one who submitted to him -asws and befriended him -asws , and the destroyed is the one who rejected him -asws and was inimical to him -asws .

يا بن سمرة- إن عليا مني روحه من روحي، و طينته من طينتي، و هو أخي و أنا أخوه، و هو زوج ابنتي- فاطمة سيدة نساء العالمين من الأولين و الآخرين- و إن منه إمامي أمتي و ابني و سيدي شباب أهل الجنة الحسن و الحسين و تسعة من ولد الحسين، تاسعهم قائم أمتي يملأ الأرض قسطا و عدلا كما ملئت جورا و ظلما». O Bin Samrat! Ali -asws is from me -saww .

His -asws soul is from my -saww soul, and his -asws clay (essence) is from my clay, and he -asws is my -saww brother, and I -saww am his -asws brother, and he -asws is the husband of my -saww daughter -asws (Syeda) Fatima -asws , the Chieftess of the women of the worlds from the former ones and the later ones.

And from him -asws are the Imams -asws of my -saww community, and the Chiefs of the youths of Paradise Al-Hassan -asws , and Al-Husayn ‑asws , and nine from the sons -asws of Al-Husayn -asws . The ninth one of them is Al-Qaim ‑asws of my -saww community who will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it had been filled with tyranny and injustice’.
