However, I have seventy virtues which none of them has.’ I asked, ‘O Commander of the Faithful! Please inform me about those virtues.’ Then Ali (MGB) said, ‘1- I never associated any partners with God - even for a twinkling of an eye. I never worshipped Lat and Uzza. [1037] 2- I never drank any alcohol. 3- I have been with God’s Prophet since my childhood when God’s Prophet (MGB) asked my father to become my guardian.

From then on I have been with him, eaten and drank with him, associated and talked with him. 4- I am the first person to believe in and submit to Islam. 5- God’s Prophet (MGB) told me, ‘O Ali! Your relationship to me is like that of Aaron’s relationship to Moses (MGB) except that there will be no Prophets after me.’ 6- I was the last person who separated from God’s Prophet (MGB) and placed him in his grave.

7- When God’s Prophet (MGB) wanted to go to the cave of Sowr, he put me to sleep in his own bed and covered me up with his blanket. When the polytheists came to his house, they suspected that I was Muhammad (MGB).
