The Messenger of Allah told me:
O Ali, you are the Commander of the Believers and the Imam of the pious.
O Ali, you are the master of all of the successors of the prophets.
You inherit all of the prophets knowledge and you are the best of SEDDIQIN (the truthful ones) and the best of those who believed in Allah first.
O Ali, you are the husband of the woman who is the Master of All of the Worlds Women, and you are the successor of the best of the prophets.
O Ali, you are the Master of the Believers.
O Ali, you are the evidence that proves Allahs existence after me on all people. Those who follow you will earn Paradise, and those who are against you deserve Hell.
O Ali, I swear to Allah, who sent me as a Prophet and who chose me from among all of His creatures, if any slave worships Allah for a thousand years, Allah will not accept it unless he believes in your Wilayat and the Wilayat of your sons. Furthermore, your Wilayat will not be accepted unless it is accompanied with the hate of your enemies and the enemies of your sons.This is what Angel Jibraeel has told me.
Let them choose to be believers or disbelievers.
