عَمَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) بِيَدِهِ فَسَدَلَهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ قَصَّرَهَا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ قَدْرَ أَرْبَعِ أَصَابِعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَدْبِرْ فَأَدْبَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَقْبِلْ فَأَقْبَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَكَذَا تِيجَانُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al Husayn Bin Ali Al Uqayli, from Ali Bin Abdu Ali Al Lahby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> put on the turban on Ali<sup>asws</sup> by his<sup>saww</sup> hand, so he<sup>saww</sup> let it hang from in front of him, and shortened it from behind him of the measurement of four fingers, then said: ‘Turn around’. So he<sup>asws</sup> turned. Then he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Face me<sup>saww</sup>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> faced. Then he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘This is how the Angels are crowned’.
