Would you tell me about (the meaning of) the saying of Allah, âAnd those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). These are they who are drawn nigh (to Allah)â? He said: âAllah has said that on the day when He has determined the creation in the Covenant two thousand years before creating the creatures (people).â I said: âWould you explain this for me?â He said: âWhen Allah had willed to create people, He made them of clay and made a fire for them.
He ordered them to enter into fire. The first ones, who had entered into it, were Muhammad, Ali, al-Hasan, al-Husayn and nine imams one after the other and then their followers followed them. By Allah they are the foremost.â
