وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُقِرَّ بِوَلَايَتِي لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ...
وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُقِرَّ بِوَلَايَتِي لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ الْإِقْرَارُ بِنُبُوَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِلَّا أَنَّهُمَا مَقْرُونَانِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ هُوَ إِمَامُ الْخَلْقِ وَ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِمَامُ الْخَلْقِ وَ وَصِيُّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي And one who does not acknowledge with my -asws Wilayah, his acknowledge with Prophet-hood of Muhammad -saww would not benefit him, except these two are paired, and that is because the Prophet -saww is a Messenger Prophet -saww , and he -saww is Imam of the people, and Ali -asws from after him -saww is Imam -asws of the people, and successor -asws of Muhammad -saww , just as the Prophet -saww said to him -asws : ‘You -asws are from me -saww at the status of Haroun -as from Musa -as except there is no Messenger Prophet -as after me -saww .
وَ أَوَّلُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَ أَوْسَطُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَ آخِرُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ فَمَنِ اسْتَكْمَلَ مَعْرِفَتِي فَهُوَ عَلَى الدِّينِ الْقَيِّمِ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ ذلِكَ دِينُ الْقَيِّمَةِ وَ سَأُبَيِّنُ ذَلِكَ بِعَوْنِ اللَّهِ وَ تَوْفِيقِهِ And the first one of us -asws is Muhammad -saww , and our middle one is Muhammad -asws , and our -asws last one is Muhammad -asws .

يَا سَلْمَانُ وَ يَا جُنْدَبُ قَالا لَبَّيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ O Salman -ra and O Jundab -ra !’ They -ra said, ‘At your -asws service, O Amir Al-Momineen -asws , may the Salawat of Allah -azwj be upon you -asws !’ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ مُحَمَّدٌ نُوراً وَاحِداً مِنْ نُورِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ذَلِكَ النُّورَ أَنْ يُشَقَّ فَقَالَ لِلنِّصْفِ كُنْ مُحَمَّداً وَ قَالَ لِلنِّصْفِ كُنْ عَلِيّاً فَمِنْهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيٌّ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْ عَلِيٍّ وَ لَا يُؤَدِّي عَنِّي إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ He -asws said: ‘I -asws and Muhammad -saww were one Noor (Light) from Noor of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic.
