وَ أَمَّا قَوْلِي أَنَا الْأَوَّلُ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ...
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلِي أَنَا الْأَوَّلُ فَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ أَسْلَمَ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلِي أَنَا الْآخِرُ فَأَنَا آخِرُ مَنْ سَجَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص ثَوْبَهُ وَ دَفَنَهُ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلِي أَنَا الظَّاهِرُ وَ الْبَاطِنُ فَأَنَا عِنْدِي عِلْمُ الظَّاهِرِ وَ الْبَاطِنِ And as for my -asws words: ‘I -asws am the first’, so I -asws am the first one to believe in Allah -azwj and be a Muslim.
And as for my -asws words: ‘I -asws am the last’, so I -asws am the last one to cover upon the Prophet -saww his -saww cloth and bury him -saww . And as for my -asws words: ‘I -asws am the apparent, and the esoteric’, so in my -asws possession is knowledge of the apparent and the esoteric’. قَالُوا فَرَّجْتَ عَنَّا فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْكَ.
