(965 A.D.) in what Abul Ab’bas al-Fazl (ibn al-Fazl) ibn al-Ab’bas al-Kindi al-Hamedany reported to me in Hamedan - he narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Zah’hak quoted Mujalid al-Nibal, on the authority of Suleiman ibn Farkhan, on the authority of Abdullah ibn Abi Suleiman ibn Abdul Rahman, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abdul Rahman, on the authority of Ibn Abi Suleiman, on the authority of Atiye, on the authority of Abi Sa’id al-Khidry that the Prophet (MGB) said, “I shall be assisted by Ali (MGB) in five circumstances.

The first circumstance is that he will be the one who buries me. The second one is that he will be the one who pays back my debts. The third is that he will be the one who helps me in the long line on the Resurrection Day. And the fourth circumstance is that he will be the one who will assist me next to my Pool (Al-Kauthar)! And the fifth is that he is the only one I have no fear of becoming an infidel after he believes, or committing adultery.”
