It is narrated by Ali Ibne Ibrahim that ‘companions of the right hand’ (Ashab-e-Maimana) are those believers who did sins and they will be stopped at the accounting and from them those are the foremost would head towards Paradise in innumerable numbers.

Kulaini has narrated from Asbagh bin Nubatah that a person came to Amirul Momineen (a.s.) and said: O Amirul Momineen a group says that a servant of Allah doesn’t do fornication while he is a believer, and does not kill anyone when is a believer, and doesn’t steal when he is a believer.

And these things are difficult for me as this person prays like me and gives me his daughter in marriage and I give my daughter in marriage to him, he inherits from me and I inherit from him, just because of few sins he goes out of the pale of Islam? Imam said: What you have said is true. And I have heard from the Holy Prophet (S), that he used to say the same and for this there is the proof of book of Allah.

Allah, the Almighty has created three types of people and made three stages for them, and said in Quran about ‘the companions of the right hand’, ‘the companions of the left hand’ and ‘the foremost ones’. The foremost ones are the Prophets, some are messengers and some are non-messengers. And Allah has given the people five spirits: (i) Ruhul Quds (ii) Ruhul Iman (iii) Ruhul Quvvat (iv) Ruhul Shahvat (v) Ruhul Badan. The Prophets are raised on the Ruhul Quds.

Some of them are messengers and some are non-messenger. They get revelations through this Ruh. Due to Ruhul Iman they worship Allah and do not make anyone a partner with Allah. With the help of Ruhul Quvvat they fight against their enemies, and acquire sustenance for themselves. From Ruhul Shahvat they eat delicious foods and marry young and permissible women. With the help of Ruhul Badan they walk the way. This group would get salvation.
