[23] Rasool-Allah -saww has said ‘For Ali -asws there are three things if even one would happen to be for me -saww it would be more beloved to me -saww than all the bounties’. I heard Rasool-Allah -saww saying to Ali -asws , and he -saww had left him -asws behind during one of his -saww military expeditions, and he -asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah -saww ! You -saww are leaving me -asws behind with the women and the children’.

Rasool-Allah -saww said: ‘Are you -asws not pleased that you -asws happen to be from me -saww at the status of Haroun -as from Musa -as except that there will be no Prophet -saww after me -saww ’. And I heard him -saww saying on the day of Khyber: ‘I -saww will give the flag to a man who loves Allah -azwj and His -azwj Rasool -saww , and Allah -azwj and His -azwj Rasool -saww love him -asws ’. So, we reached out for this. He -saww said: ‘Call Ali -asws to me -saww ’.

So, upon them is the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87] ’’. [26] ‘I asked Abu Ja’far -asws about them both (Abu Bakr and Umar). He -asws said: ‘O Abu Al-Fazl! What are you asking me -asws about them?! By Allah -azwj !

There does not die any deceased from us -asws except he he -asws is angry upon them, and there is no one from us -asws today except he is angry upon them, the elder from us -asws bequeathing to the young one.
