120. Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Abu Baseer who said: I said to him (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), do you (asws) see the one who rejects this matter (Al-Wilayah) to me as if he has rejected you (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The one who rejects this matter to you, so he has rejected against the Rasool Allah (saww), and against Allah (azwj) Blessed and High. O Abu Muhammad! The dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is the martyr’. I said, ‘Even if he died upon his bed?’ He (asws) said: ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj), even if he died upon his bed, he is alive in the Presence of his Lord (azwj) being given Sustenance’.

121. Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Habeeb who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘By Allah (azwj)! There is no one from the people more beloved to me (asws) than you are, and that the people have gone in various directions. So among them is the ‘one’ who takes (religion) to his own opinion, and among them is one who follows his own desires, and among them is the one who follows the narration (Al-Riwayah), and you all have grabbed to a matter for which there is an origin. So it is for you to observe piety, and the struggle, and bear witness to the funerals, and console the sick, and be present with your people in their Masjids for the Prayers. Is it not shameful for the man among you that his right is being observed by his neighbour whilst he himself does not observe the rights of his neighbour?’

122. From him, from Ibn Muskaan, from maalik Al-Juhny who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me: ‘O Maalik! Will you not be happy that you establish the Prayer, and you give the Zakaat, and you restrain yourself, and you enter Paradise? O Maalik! There is none from the people who followed the imam in the world except that he (their imam) will come on the Day of Judgement cursing them and they would be cursing him except for you and the one who is similar to your condition. O Maalik! By Allah (azwj), the dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) are martyrs of the status of the striker with his sword in the Way of Allah (azwj)’.

123. Yahya Al-Halby, from Basheer Al-Kunasy who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘You have maintained relations whilst the people have cut-off, and you loved whilst the people hated (you), and you recognised whilst the people denied, and it is the ‘الْحَقُّ’ Just. Allah (azwj) Took Muhammad (saww) to be a servant before He (azwj) Took him (saww) as a Prophet, and that Ali (asws) used to be a servant, and advisor for the Sake of Allah (zwj) Mighty and Majestic. So he (asws) was blessed and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Loved him (asws), and he (asws) loved Him (azwj). Surely, our (asws) Rights in the Book of Allah (azwj) are clear. For us (asws) is the clean wealth, and for us (asws) is the Spoils of war (Al-Anfaal- Khums), and that Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Obligated the people to be obedient to us (asws), since you follow but the people have no excuse for their ignorance. And the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘The one who dies and he has no Imam for him has died the death of a pagan. So it is upon you to obey, and you have seen the companions of Ali (asws). Then he (asws) said: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) said during his illness in which he (saww) passed away: ‘Call my (saww) friend for me (saww)!’. So two (females) sent for their respective fathers, but when they came, he (saww) turned his (saww) face away, then said: ‘Call my (saww) friend for me (saww)!’ They (two fathers) said, ‘He (saww) would have looked at us had he (saww) intended to speak to us’. So they sent for Ali (asws). So when he (asws) came, he (asws) leaned across towards him (saww), and he (saww) narrated to him (asws), and narrated to him (asws) until he was free from it. So (the two fathers) met him (asws) and said, ‘What did he (saww) narrated to you (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘He (saww) narrated to me (asws) by a thousand doors of the knowledge, each door of which opens to a (further) thousand doors’.
