Narrated to us Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Safwaan, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Mus’ab, who has said: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) said: ‘I (asws) had pledged allegiance to the Rasool Allah (saww), to be (loyal) in the hardship, and ease, and the freedom, and the restriction, until such time Al-Islam spreads and becomes strong’.

And Ali (asws) took from them (Shites) (a Covenant) that they shall prevent from Muhammad (saww) and his (saww) descendants, what they had prevented themselves as well as their own children from. So I (asws) also took from them (Shites). Rescued was the one who was rescued, and destroyed was the one who was destroyed’. جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (16/250)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
