Hadith.5402 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Muqatil ibn Sulayman from Abu Abdullah (as) who said that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "I am the master of the prophets, and my successor is the master of the successors, and his successors are the masters of the successors. Indeed, Adam (as) asked Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, to appoint for him a righteous successor. Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, revealed to him: 'I have honored the prophets with prophethood, and then I selected from My creation individuals and made the best among them the successors.' So Allah (swt), Exalted is His (swt) remembrance, revealed to him: 'O' Adam, appoint Seth as your successor.' Thus, Adam (as) appointed Seth, who is the Gift of Allah (swt), son of Adam, as his successor. Seth then appointed his son Shabban as his successor, and Shabban was the son of Nazla Al-Hawra, whom Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, sent down to Adam from Paradise, and Adam married her to his son Seth. Shabban appointed Muhlith as his successor, Muhlith appointed Mahuq, Mahuq appointed Ghathmisha, Ghathmisha appointed Akhnukh, who is Prophet Idris (as). Idris appointed Nahur, and Nahur passed it on to Nuh (as). Nuh appointed his son Sam, Sam appointed Athamir, and Athamir appointed Barghithasha. And Barghithasha appointed Yafith as his successor, Yafith appointed Barra, Barra appointed Jafsiya, Jafsiya appointed Imran, and Imran entrusted it to Ibrahim Al-Khalil (as). Ibrahim appointed his son Ismail, Ismail appointed Ishaq, Ishaq appointed Yaqub, Yaqub appointed Yusuf, Yusuf appointed Bathriya, Bathriya appointed Shuayb, and Shuayb entrusted it to Musa ibn Imran (as). Musa ibn Imran appointed Yusha ibn Nun, Yusha ibn Nun appointed Dawud, Dawud appointed Sulayman (as), Sulayman appointed Asif ibn Barkhiya, Asif ibn Barkhiya appointed Zakariya, and Zakariya entrusted it to Isa ibn Maryam (as). Isa ibn Maryam appointed Shamun ibn Hamun Al-Safa, Shamun appointed Yahya ibn Zakariya, Yahya ibn Zakariya appointed Mundhir, Mundhir appointed Sulaymah, and Sulaymah appointed Burdah." Then the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Burdah entrusted it to me, and I now entrust it to you, O' Ali (as). You (as) will entrust it to your successor (as), and your successor (as) will entrust it to his successors (as) from your offspring, one after another, until it reaches the best of the people of the earth after you. Surely, the nation will disbelieve in you, and they will differ greatly over you. The one who remains steadfast with you (as) is like the one who remains with me (sw), and the one who separates from you (as) will be in the Fire, and the Fire is the abode of the disbelievers."

Upon His (sw) passing, He (sw) entrusted all of these to Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as), and placed his ring on Imam Ali's (as) finger. Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said that he found a scroll inside the hilt of one of the Prophet's (sw) swords, which contained three statements: "Maintain ties with those who cut you off." "Speak the truth, even if it is against yourself." "Show kindness to those who wrong you."

Hadith.5404 - Al-Mualla ibn Muhammad Al-Basri narrated from Jafar ibn Sulayman from Abdullah ibn Al-Hakam from his father from Said ibn Jubayr from Ibn Abbas, who said: The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: "Indeed, Ali (as) is my successor and caliph, and his wife (Sayyida) Fatimah (as), my daughter, is the leader of the women of the worlds. Al-Hasan (as) and Al-Hussain (as) are the leaders of the youth of Paradise, and they are my sons. Whoever befriends Them (as) has befriended me (sw), Whoever opposes Them (as) has opposed me (sw). Whoever fights against Them (as) has fought against me (sw), Whoever distances himself from Them (as) has distanced himself from me (sw), And whoever honors Them (as) has honored me (sw). May Allah (swt) maintain ties with those who maintain ties with Them (as) and sever ties with those who sever ties with them (as). May Allah (swt) support those who aid Them (as) and forsake those who forsake them (as). O' Allah (swt)! Just as every prophet and messenger had their own household and entrusted ones; Ali (as), (Sayyida) Fatimah (as), Al-Hasan (as), and Al-Hussain (as) are my household and my entrusted ones. So remove impurity from Them (as) and purify Them (as) completely."

I have entrusted to you by the command of my Lord (azj), and you are my caliph. I have appointed you by the command of my Lord (azj). O' Ali (as), you are the one who will clarify for my nation what they will differ over after me, and you will stand in my place among them. Your words are my words, your command is my command, obedience to you is obedience to me, and obedience to me is obedience to Allah (swt). Disobedience to you is the disobedience to me, and the disobedience to me is the disobedience to Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic."
