أُولٌئِكَ رُفَقَائِيْ وَ ذُو وُدِّيْ وَ مَوَدَّتِيْ وَ أَكْرَمُ أُمَّتِيْ عَلَـيَّ. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) has said: “Congratulations to the person who meets the Qa’im [one who will rise] from my Ahlul Bayt and has firm belief in him before his advent. He will have love for his friends, and will distance himself from his enemies and will have love for the leaders of guidance (the Imams) who came before him.
