\n So, Salman Al-Farsi -ra said, \u2018O Rasool Allah -saww ! This Verse is Revealed regarding Ali -asws in particular?\u2019 Rasool Allah -saww said: \u2018Indeed, it is regarding him -asws , and regarding my -saww successors -asws up to the Day of Judgement\u2019. \n Then Rasool Allah -saww said: \u2018O Salman -ra , you and those who are present are witnesses of that, and those present should make it reach to the ones who are absent\u2019.

Salman Al-Farsi -ra said, \u2018O Rasool Allah -saww , explain clarify them -asws for us\u2019. \n So he -saww said: \u2018Ali -asws , who is my -saww brother, and my -saww Vizier, and my -saww successor, and my -saww inheritor, and my -saww Caliph in my -saww community, and the Guardian of every believer after me -saww , and eleven Imams -asws from his sons -asws .

The first of them -asws is my -saww son Al-Hassan -asws , then Al-Husayn -asws , then nine from the sons -asws of Al-Husayn -asws , one after the other. The Quran is with them -asws and they -asws are with the Quran. Neither will it separate from them -asws nor will they separate from it until they -asws return to the Fountain\u2019.

\n Twelve men from the people of Badr stood up and said, \u2018We testify that we heard that from the Rasool Allah -saww as you -asws have said it exactly, neither have you -asws added nor you -asws have been deficient by a single letter, and Rasool Allah -saww made us witnesses on that\u2019. And the remaining seventy said, \u2018We have heard that but did not memorise all of it, and these twelve are our good ones, and the best ones of us\u2019. So he -asws said: \u2018You spoke the truth.

It is not for all the people to be memorisers, some of them are better at memorising than others\u2019.

\n Four from the twelve stood up \u2013 Abu Al-Haysam Bin Al-Tayham, and Abu Ayyub Al-Ansary, and Amaar Bin Yaaser, and Khuzayma Bin Sabit, the one with the two testimonies, may Allah -azwj have Mercy on them \u2013 so they said, \u2018We testify that we have heard the words of Rasool Allah -saww and we have preserved it that he -saww did say one day, and he -saww was standing, and Ali -asws was standing beside him -saww . \n Then Rasool Allah -saww said: \u2018O you people!
