Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd from Yunus from Hariz from Zurara who has said the following: ‘Once I asked Imam Abu ‘Abd Allah -asws , recipient of divine supreme covenant, about lawful and unlawful matters and he said, ‘ Whatever the Holy Prophet -saww , recipient of divine supreme covenant, has made lawful will remain lawful forever until the Day of Judgement and whatever he has made unlawful will remain unlawful forever until the Day of Judgement .

There will be no one other than him and there will come no one other than him.’ He said that Imam Ali -asws has said, ‘No one has established any innovation (heresy) without abandoning (killing) an established noble Sunnah (tradition of Rasool Allah -saww ) .’ [1] ابن بابويه، قال: حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن محمد (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبد الله الكوفي، عن سهل بن زياد الآدمي، عن مبارك مولى الرضا (عليه السلام)، عن الرضا علي بن موسى (عليه السلام)، قال: «لا يكون المؤمن مؤمنا حتى يكون فيه ثلاث خصال: سنة من ربه، و سنة من نبيه، و سنة من وليه.
