The first of them -asws is my -saww son Al-Hassan -asws , then Al-Hussain -asws , then nine from the sons -asws of Al-Hussain -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 O you people! I -saww have made known to you your \u2018Master\u2019 and your Imam -asws after me -saww ; your evidence and your guide.

He -asws is Ali -asws Bin Abu Talib -asws and he -asws is among you at the status that I -saww am among you. So emulate him -asws (do his -asws Taqleed), and obey him \u2011asws in all of your affairs, for in his -asws possession is what Allah -azwj has Taught me -saww , and Ordered for me -saww , and I -saww have made it known to him -asws , and I -saww am letting you know that it is with him -asws .

So ask him -asws and learn from him -asws and from the successors -asws after him -asws , and do not try to teach them -asws nor go in front of them -asws nor be left behind them \u2011asws , for they -asws are with the \u2018Haq\u2019 (truth) and the \u2018Haq\u2019 is with them -asws , neither will they -asws leave it nor will it leave them -asws \u2019.

\n (After listening to Amir-ul-Momineen -asws talk about this event) Twelve men from the people of Badr (the companions of Rasool Allah -saww who were with him -saww at the battle of Badr) stood up and said, \u2018We testify that we heard that from the Rasool Allah -saww exactly as you \u2011asws have said it, you -asws have not added anything nor have you -asws missed a single letter and the Rasool Allah -saww made us witnesses on that\u2019.

And then seventy men from those present said; \u2018We also heard those words but did not memorise all of it, but these twelve witnesses (that did memorise it) are our good (trustworthy) ones, and the best ones of us\u2019. So Ali -asws said: \u2018You have spoken the truth. It is not possible for everyone to be memorisers, some of them are better at memorising than the others\u2019.
