إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَصَبَ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) عَلَماً بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ فَمَنْ عَرَفَهُ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً وَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُ كَانَ كَافِراً وَ مَنْ جَهِلَهُ كَانَ ضَالًّا وَ مَنْ نَصَبَ مَعَهُ شَيْئاً كَانَ مُشْرِكاً وَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِعَدَاوَتِهِ دَخَلَ النَّارَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Fuzayl Bin Yasaar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Appointed Ali<sup>asws</sup> as a flag between Him<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> creatures. So the one who recognised him<sup>asws</sup> would be a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, but the one who denied him<sup>asws</sup> would be a Unbeliever (<span class="iTxt">Kafir</span>), and the one who was ignorant of him<sup>asws</sup> would stray; and the one who appoints anything (anyone else) with him would be a Polytheist (<span class="iTxt">Mushrik</span>), and the one who comes with his<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah would enter the Paradise, and the one who comes with his<sup>asws</sup> animosity would enter the Fire’.
