[15] \n And regarding the Word of Allah -azwj ...

[15] \n And regarding the Word of Allah -azwj : \n And had We Revealed it unto one of the non-Arabs [26:198], So he would have recited it to them, they would not have been believers in it [26:199].\u00a0 \u2018Al-Sadiq -asws said: \u2018Had the Quran had been Revealed upon the non-Arab, the Arabs would not have believed in it. And it has been Revealed upon the Arab, and the non-Arabs are believers in it\u2019. Thus it is a merit for the non-Arabs\u2019.

[16] \n It is reported that Ibn Al-Kawa said to Ali -asws , \u2018Due to what are you the successor -asws of Muhammad -saww from between the Clan of Abdul Muttalib -asws ?\u2019 \n He -asws said: \u2018Then what is the news you want? When (the Verse): And warn your kindred, the near ones! [26:214] was Revealed, Rasool-Allah -saww gathered us and we were forty men. He -saww instructed me -asws to cook a leg of a sheep for him -saww , and one Sa\u2019a of food.

He -saww instructed me -asws , and I ground it and made bread of it, and he -saww instructed me, and I -asws brought it near. \n He -asws said: \u2018Ten proceeded first and they ate until they were satiated, and the food remained as it had been, and that from them is one who ate the (amount of) a small sheep and drank his fill. So, they ate from it, all of them in their entirety. Abu Lahab -la said, \u2018Muhammad -saww has enchanted you all\u2019. And they dispersed from him -saww .

\n Then Rasool-Allah -saww called them for the second time, then said: \u2018Which one of you will become my -saww brother and my -saww successor -asws and my -saww Vizier?\u2019 He -saww presented it to them and all of them refused until he -saww ended up to me -asws , and I -asws was the youngest of them in years, and the weakest of them in eyes, and the thinnest of them in legs\u2019.

I -asws said: \u2018He -saww threw his -saww slippers towards me -asws , and therefore due to that, I -asws am his -saww successor -asws from between them\u2019\u2019.

[17] \n And by this chain, from him -asws regarding His -azwj Words: And your transfer among the Sajdah performers [26:219] , he -asws said: \u2018Regarding Ali -asws , and (Syeda) Fatima -asws , and Al-Hassan -asws , and Al-Husayn -asws and People -asws of his -saww Household, may the Salawat of Allah -azwj be upon them -asws \u2019\u2019.
