This is the reason that we consider our leader to be more able and count him higher than others. And after all, you have narrated and we have also quoted and other people also say the same thing that there are four martyrs on the right path: Ali ibn Abi Taleb, Ja'far ibn Abi Taleb, Hamzah and Obaidullah ibn Harith.

It is obvious that the name of our spiritual leader is at the top of the list of the Martyrs on the Right Path and he is the leader of the martyrs, but Abu Bakr is deprived of this virtue also. For this reason we prefer Ali to others. Hazrat Abdul Azim Hasani says: Haroon who was carefully listening to the speech of Hisham, suddenly put the curtain aside and Ja'far also asked the people to leave the house. All of them in a very frightened state went out.

Haroon also left the meeting furiously as he was uttering: "Who was he? By God, I will kill him and make him burn in fire." [^1]: Hazrat Abdul Azim ibn Abdullah ibn Ali. Zaid ibn Hasan ibn Hasan Mujtaba (a). the exalted son, his burial place is at the city of Rey which is a sacred visiting place for shias. Sheikh Mufid has quoted this story in his book Ekhtesas, with reference to that holy man. [^2]: A part of verse No. 40 of Surah Taubah. [^3]: Surah 9. verse 40. [^4]: Surah 9. verse 40.
