قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْإِسْلَامَ فَجَعَلَ لَهُ عَرْصَةً وَ جَعَلَ لَهُ نُوراً وَ جَعَلَ لَهُ حِصْناً وَ جَعَلَ لَهُ نَاصِراً فَأَمَّا عَرْصَتُهُ فَالْقُرْآنُ وَ أَمَّا نُورُهُ فَالْحِكْمَةُ وَ أَمَّا حِصْنُهُ فَالْمَعْرُوفُ وَ أَمَّا أَنْصَارُهُ فَأَنَا وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَ شِيعَتُنَا فَأَحِبُّوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ شِيعَتَهُمْ وَ أَنْصَارَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَنَسَبَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ( عليه السلام ) لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ اسْتَوْدَعَ اللَّهُ حُبِّي وَ حُبَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَهُوَ عِنْدَهُمْ وَدِيعَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ هَبَطَ بِي إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَنَسَبَنِي إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَاسْتَوْدَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حُبِّي وَ حُبَّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ فِي قُلُوبِ مُؤْمِنِي أُمَّتِي فَمُؤْمِنُو أُمَّتِي يَحْفَظُونَ وَدِيعَتِي فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَلَا فَلَوْ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَبَدَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عُمُرَهُ أَيَّامَ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُبْغِضاً لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ شِيعَتِي مَا فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ صَدْرَهُ إِلَّا عَنِ النِّفَاقِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Azeem Bin Abdullah Al Hasany, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> the 2<sup>nd</sup>, from his<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup>, from his<sup>asws</sup> grandfather<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momin</span>een<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Created Al-<span class="iTxt">Islām</span>. So He<sup>azwj</sup> Made a land for it, and a light, and Made a fort for it, and Made a helper for it. So, as for its land, so it is the Quran, and as for its ‘نُورُهُ’ Light, so it is the Wisdom, and as for its fort, so it is the goodness, and as for its helpers, so it is I<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>, and the People<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Household, and our<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Shia. Therefore, love the People<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Household and their<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Shia and their helpers, for what I<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> was ascended with to the sky of the world, Jibraeel<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> introduced me<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> to the inhabitants of the sky. Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Entrusted love for me<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>, and love for the People<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Household and their Shia into the hearts of the Angels. So it is a deposit with them up to the Day of Judgement. Then I<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> was descended with to the inhabitants of the earth. So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> introduced me<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> to the people of the earth, and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Entrusted the love for me<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup>, and the love for the People<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Household and their<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Shia into the hearts of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>s of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> community. Thus, the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>s of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> community would be preserving my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> entrustment and that of the People<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Household up to the Day of Judgement. Indeed! If a man from my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> community were to worship Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic for his lifetime of the days of the world, then meets Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic as hateful towards the People<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Household and my<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> Shia, Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> will not Open his chest for anything except for the hypocrisy’.
