He said that we were present in the company of the Holy Prophet (S), that Amirul Momineen (a.s.) arrived. When the Holy Prophet (S) saw the face of the Hazrat, he smiled and said: What to say about the one whom Allah created 40,000 years before Adam. Ibne Abbas says that I asked the Holy Prophet (S): Was the son before the father? He replied: Yes, Allah created me and Ali before all the Prophets. After that He created all the things, and all the things were created from me and Ali.

Then Allah gave us the place near His throne. Then He created the angels. We glorified Allah. When we recited the ‘Takbir’ (Allahu Akbar) the angels also did Takbir and all this was due to my and Ali’s training. And it is from the very beginning in the knowledge of Allah that the friend of mine and Ali will not go to Hell and our enemy will not enter the Paradise. Indeed Allah has made some angels in whose hands there is a silver vessel containing the nectar of Paradise.

From the Shias of Ali, there is no Shia but that his father and mother are pure, pious, chosen ones and believing in Allah. When anyone of them intends to establish sexual relations with his wife, an angel from them who has the water of Paradise in his hands, makes him drink a drop of water due to which faith grows in him like vegetation.

That is why they from the side of Allah, from the side of his Prophet, from the side of his Vicegerent, from the side of my daughter Fatima Zahra, from her sons Hasan and Husain, from their children who are the Imams will be on truth and right. I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who are those Imams (a.s.)? He said: They are eleven persons from the progeny of Ali through Husain (a.s.).

Then the Holy Prophet (S) said: I praise that Allah, who has made the love of Ali the condition to enter Paradise and also for salvation from Hell. Ali Ibne Ibrahim has narrated that Abu Baseer asked Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that who are more in number, angels or human beings?

The Imam said: By Allah in whose hands is my life, the angels in the heaven are much more than the particles of the earth and in the skies there is no space equal to a feet where there is not an angel who glorifies and magnifies Allah.
