It was the day when He made all particles to make a covenant to acknowledge Him as the Lord and Muhammad (s.a) as the Prophet. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, presented to Muhammad his 'Umma (followers) in clay and they were shadows. He created them from the clay out of which Adam was created. Allah created the spirits of our Shi'a two thousand years before their bodies were created. He presented them to the Holy Prophet (s.a) and the Messenger of Allah recognized them.

Ali (a.s.) recognized and we recognize them by their accent." Chapter 110 : The Imams (a.s.) know their friends and that they are the in charge of their affairs H , Ch. 110, h 1 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Mahbub from Salih ibn Sahl from abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) the following. "A man came to Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) when he was in the company of his companions.

The man offered greetings and said, "By Allah, I love you and acknowledge your Wilaya (Leadership with Divine Authority)." Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) said to him, "What you say is not true." He said, "Yes, by Allah, I love you and acknowledge your Wilaya. He repeated it three times." Amir al-Mu'minin Ali (a.s.) said, "What you say is not true. You are not what you say you are. Allah created the spirits two thousand years before creating the bodies. He then presented to us those who love us.

By Allah, I did not see your spirit among those presented to us. Where were you." The man remained silent and did not talk back." In an other hadith it is said that abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) said, "He was in thefire." H , Ch. 110, h 2 Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Sa'id from 'Amr ibn Maymun from 'Ammar ibn Marwan from Jabir from abu Ja'far (a.s.) who has said the following.

"We know men when we see them through the reality of faith and the reality of hypocrisy." H , Ch. 110, h 3 Ahmad ibn Idris and Muhammad ibn Yahya havenarrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufi from 'Ubays ibn Hisham from 'Abdallah ibn Sulayman who has said the following. "I asked abu 'Abdallah (a.s.) about the Imam. Has Allah made him the in charge of the and in full control (over the affairs of the people) as Sulayman ibn Dawud was?" The Imam (a.s.) said, "Yes, he is given control.

It is because a man asked him a question and he gave the answer. Another person asked the same question and he gave him a different answer (although the question was the same).
