From the same Hazrat it is narrated that he said...

From the same Hazrat it is narrated that he said: We are the treasurers of the religion of Allah and the lamps of His knowledge. Every Imams that leaves the world, another one appears to guide the people and that person is misguided who does injustice upon us. So do not be separated from us in greed of his things, because they would soon leave you. Whoever gives preference to this world over the hereafter or over us, on the day of the Judgement he shall have a great regret in his heart.

Kulaini has narrated from Imam Moosa Ibne Ja’far (a.s.) in the explanation of this verse that he said: ‘Jambullah’ is Amirul Momineen (a.s.) and after him his successors with that high status which they shall have till the end. Also Amirul Momineen (a.s.) has said that: I am ‘Ainullah’ (eyes of Allah), ‘Yadullah’ (hands of Allah), ‘Jambullah’ (side of Allah), ‘Babullah’ (door of Allah).

Ibne Shahr Aashob has narrated from Abu Zar that the enemy of Ali (a.s.) would be brought blind and dumb and he would fall and get up again and again in the darkness of the day of the Judgement and continue to remember: O woe to me! For what I fell short of my duty to Allah (Jambullah). There would be a collar of fire around his neck. Ayyashi has narrated from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that Ali (a.s.) is the ‘Jambullah’.

Ibne Mahyar has related from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that: We are the ‘Jambullah’, Allah has made us from His Light, that is why when the unbelievers would be cast in Hell they shall say: O woe to me! For what I fell short of my duty to Allah (Jambullah). Alas! I did a mistake in not accepting the Wilayat (Mastership) of Muhammad (S) and his progeny.

In Maniul Akhbar and Tawheed it is narrated with authentic chains from Imam Sadiq (a.s.) that Ali said in one of his sermons: I am the guided one and I am the father of orphans and the destitute and the husband of widows. I am the refuge for every weak one and the fort of safety for every fearful one. I am one to make the believers reach Paradise and I am the firm rope of Allah (Hablulla-ul-Matin) and I am the firmest handle (Urwatul Wuthqa).

I am the ‘word of piety’, I am the eyes of Allah, the truthful tongue of Allah and the side of Allah regarding which Allah says: O woe to me! For what I fell short of the side of Allah (Jambullah). And I am the hands of Allah that Allah has made wide for His creatures for mercy and forgiveness and I am the gate of repentance ‘Bab-e-Hitta’ for this Ummat.
