I confess before Him that submissiveness befits my soul, and I bear witness that Lordship befits Him. I convey what He revealed to me, lest should I not do it, He may make lawful that a calamity befalls me; that which no one can turn away from me even if he has great schemes and sincere friendship, for there is no god but He. He has informed me that if I do not convey what He has revealed to me about Ali's right, it is as if I have not conveyed His message at all. Certainly, He, the most holy, the most high, has guaranteed for me protection from the evil of people, and He is Allah, Who is sufficient and bountiful.

Thus, He revealed to me this verse: “In the name of Allah, the compassionate, the merciful. O Messenger! Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord-regarding Ali ebne Abee Talib and his leadership-and if you do not, you have not conveyed His message at all, and Allah shall protect you from evil people.”

O people! I have never been neglectful of conveying what Allah, the exalted, sent down to me, and I shall now explain to you the reason behind the revelation of this verse. Verily, Gabriel came down to me three times giving the order of my Lord, Who is the security of the believers, that I should stand in this scene and inform everyone, white and black, that:

Ali ebne Abee Talib is my brother, my deputy and the executor of my affairs (Wassee), my successor over my nation (Khaleefa), and the leader (Imam) after me, whose position to me is like that of Aaron to Moses except that there shall be no prophet after me, and that he is your guardian (Walee) after Allah and His messenger. Indeed, Allah, the most holy, the most high, had already sent down to me a verse from His book about this, saying, “Only your guardian is Allah and His messenger and those of the believers who establish the prayers and pay the charity while they bow down.”

Ali ebne Abee Talib was the one who kept alive prayers and paid charity while bowing down in ruku'. He intends the pleasure of Allah, the mighty and the majestic, in all situations.
I asked Gabriel to plead to Allah, Who is the security of the believers, to excuse me from conveying it to you.

O people, due to my knowledge on the fewness of the pious, the numerousness of the hypocrites, the corruption and the treachery of the sinful, and the trickery of those who ridicule Islam, those whom Allah described in His book as: “They say with their tongues what is not in their hearts,” taking it lightly, while it is a grave matter in the sight of Allah, and due to their annoying me on many occasions, so much so that they called me all “ear”, claiming I am so because of Ali's frequent attendance in my presence and my attention to him, until Allah, the mighty and the majestic, sent down the following verse in this regard:

“And of them are some who annoy the Prophet and say: He is an ear for accepting what he hears, particularly from Ali. Say: One whom you call 'ear' is best for you; He believes in Allah, safeguards the believers, and is a mercy for those of you who believe. And for those who harm the messenger of Allah, there shall be a painful torment.”

Had I wished to name those who have called me so, to point out towards them, or to lead to them by their signs, I would have done so. Yet, by Allah, I have indeed dealt with their affairs magnanimously. Nevertheless, Allah is not satisfied with me until I convey what He has sent down to me regarding the right of Ali.”

Then, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM ) recited again the following verse: “O Messenger! Deliver what has been sent down to you from your Lord-with regard to Ali-and if you do not, you will not have conveyed His message at all, and Allah shall protect you from evil people.”

O people! Believe in Allah and His Messenger and the light that was sent down with him,“before We alter faces then turn them on their backs or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath breakers.”.

By Allah! No one is intended by this latter verse except a certain group of my companions whom I know by their names and their lineage, yet, I have been ordered to ignore them.
O people! The light created by Allah, the mighty and the majestic, has been placed in me, then in Ali, and then in his select descendants up to al-Qaaem al-Mahdi, who shall re-establish the right of Allah as well as all our rights, because Allah, the mighty and the majestic, has made us His exhaustive argument against the neglectful, the stubborn, the dissenters, the treacherous, the sinful, the unjust, and the usurpers from all worlds.

O people! I warn you that I am the Messenger of Allah. There have been messengers before me who came and passed away.Then, should I die or be killed, will you turn back on your heels? And whoever turns back on his heels shall not harm Allah in the least, and Allah shall soon reward the grateful, who observe patience.
Behold! Ali is surely the one described with patience and gratitude, so are after him my offspring from his loins.

O people! Do not think that you are doing a favor to Allah by accepting Islam lest His wrath should descend upon you, and lest He should afflict you with His punishment; surely He is ever-watching.

O people! There shall soon be leaders after me who shall invite people to the Fire, and on the Day of Judgement they shall not be helped. O people! Indeed, Allah and I are both clear of them.

O people! They, their supporters, their followers, and their adherents shall be in the lowest depths of the Fire; and evil, indeed, is the abode of the arrogant.
Know that these are, indeed, the People of the Sheet; so, let each one of you look into his own sheet of deeds!”

Imam Muhammad alBaghir (PEACE BE UPON HIM ), here states that except for a small band who themselves were the People of the Sheet, most people did not comprehend the issue of sheet.

O people! I leave the authority after me as Imama (leadership) inherited in my offspring until the Day of Judgement. Certainly, I just conveyed what I have been ordered to convey as an argument against everyone, be him present or absent, a direct witness or not, and already born or not yet born.

Hence, everyone who is present should convey this sermon to those who are absent, every parent should convey it to his/her children, and they should continue to do so, until the Day of Judgement.

But, I have been informed that some people shall replace this divinely-assigned leadership. with kingdom through usurpation. May Allah curse the usurpers and dispossessors.
And then, “We will soon settle your affairs, O the two weights.”. And also, “on you O the two greatest enemies shall be launched a flame of fire and a flash of molten brass, thus you shall never prevail.”

O people! Without doubt, Allah, the mighty and the majestic, does not leave you in the state you are now, until He separates the evil from the good ones. Nor does He make you acquainted with the knowledge of the unseen.

O people! There shall be no wrongful community but that Allah shall perish it due to the rejection of truth by its people.

Such is what Allah, the exalted, mentioned in His book as to how He destroys the wrongful societies. This is your leader and your guardian, and these are Allah's promises. Verily, Allah fulfills His promise.

O people! Most of the early generations before you have strayed, and surely, Allah destroyed them. He shall be the One who destroys the later generations too.
Allah, the exalted, states: “Did We not destroy the former generations? So shall We follow the same for later generations. Such is how We treat the guilty. Woe on that Day to the rejecters of truth!”

O people! Allah gave me the commandments and the prohibitions, and I gave them to Ali by the order of Allah. Hence, the knowledge of all commandments and prohibitions are with him. Thus, listen to his orders so that you remain safe, obey him so that you are guided, and leave what he prohibits so that you become mature. Conform to what he wants, and do not let different paths separate you from his path.

O people! I am the Straight Path of Allah whom He commanded you to follow, and such after me also is Ali, and then my offspring from his loins, the Imams who guide with truth and turn people to it.”

Then, the Prophet (PEACE BE UPON HIM AND HIS PROGENY) recited the entire Quranic chapter of the opening (al-Fatiha) and said:“This chapter was revealed in my honor and in theirs generally and specifically. That is to say the Imams' honor.

They are the authorized friends of Allah, for whom there shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve. Behold! Truly, it is the party of Allah that shall prevail.

Lo! It is their enemies who are the dissenters, the transgressors, and the brethren of Satans, who inspire one another with embellished vain discourses by way of deception.

Lo! It is their close adherents who are the true believers, whom Allah, the mighty and the majestic, mentions in His Book saying:
“You will not find any group of people who truly believe in Allah and in the Last Day, yet they love those who opposed Allah and His messenger, even though they were their own fathers, sons, brothers, or kinsfolk; Those who meet this criterion are the ones in whose hearts He has written faith ...”

Lo! Their close adherents are those whom Allah, the mighty and the majestic, describes as the following:
“Those who believe and do not cover their faith with injustice, are the ones for whom is the security from Hellfire, and they are the rightly guided.”
Indeed, their close adherents are those who believed and then have not entertained doubt in their faith.

Lo! Their close adherents shall enter Paradise in peace and security, and the angels shall receive them with greetings saying: “Well have you done! Hence, enter into it to dwell therein forever!".

Indeed, their close adherents are those about whom Allah, the mighty and the majestic, said, they shall enter Paradise where they shall receive sustenance without having to account for anything.

Lo! Their enemies are ones who shall arrive at Hell.

Indeed, their enemies are the ones who shall hear the terrible drawing in of its breath as it blazes forth, and therein shall be the heaving of sighs and sobs.

Behold! Their enemies are those about whom Allah states: “Whenever a nation enters it, it shall curse its peer.”

Lo! Their enemies are those whom Allah, the mighty and the majestic, describes as: “Every time a group is cast therein, its keepers shall ask them, 'Did no warner come to you?'
They shall say: 'Yes indeed. A warner came to us, but we rejected him and said, Allah has not revealed anything; you are but in a great error.'

They shall also say: 'Had we listened or used our wisdom, we would not have been among the inmates of the blazing fire.'

They shall then confess their sins; but far from mercy shall be the inmates of the burning fire.”


In contrast, their close adherents are, indeed, ones who fear their Lord in secret; for them is forgiveness and a great reward.

O people! What a great difference it is between the burning fire and the great reward!
O people! Our enemy is whom Allah censures and curses, whereas our adherent friend is the one whom Allah praises and loves.
O people! Behold! I am a warner and Ali is a guide.
O people! I am a prophet and Ali is the executor of my will.

O people! There are too many of you to shake my hand at the same time, and Allah, the mighty and the majestic, commanded me to take verbal recognition from you regarding what I finalized, on behalf of Allah, about Ali, the Commander of the Believers, and about the Imams from me and him who shall succeed him, based on what I informed you that my offspring are from his loins.

Therefore, pronounce this in one voice:
“We heard, obeyed, are satisfied, and are submitted to what you have conveyed to us from our Lord and your Lord with regard to the authority of Ali, the Commander of the Believers, and the authority of the Imams from his loins.

We pledge allegiance to you in this regard with our hearts, our souls, our tongues, and our hands.
According to this, shall we live, shall we die, and shall we be resurrected.

We shall not alter, nor shall we substitute, nor shall we entertain doubt, nor shall we deny,♦ nor shall we distrust, nor shall we withdraw from the covenant, nor shall we breach the pact.

O Messenger! You advised us, on behalf of Allah, regarding Ali, the Commander of the Believers, and the Imams after him that you mentioned to be of your offspring from his descendants who are: alHasan, al-Hossain, and whomever Allah shall appoint after them.

The covenant and the pledge are taken from us, from our hearts, our souls, our tongues, our minds, and our hands.
Anyone of us who can reach him shall shake his hand, otherwise he shall affirm the covenant by his tongue. We shall not seek any substitute for it, nor shall Allah see in our souls any diversion from it.

We shall convey the same on your behalf to anyone, near or far, among our offspring and our people, We take Allah as witness to this, and surely Allah suffices as witness.
You are also witness over us; so are anyone who obeyed, visible or covered, Allah's Angels, His forces, and His servants. And Allah is greater than every witness.”


O people! What do you say? Verily, Allah is well-aware of every voice and the secrecy of every soul; “He who accepts guidance, it is to the benefit of his own soul, and he who goes astray, does so to his own loss.”. Those who pledge fealty, they indeed pledge fealty to Allah; the hand of Allah is over their hands.

O people! Be mindful of Allah, give your oath of allegiance to Ali, the Commander of the Believers, may Allah's blessings be upon him, to al-Hasan and al-Hossain, and to the Imams from them a goodly Word, that is enduring.

Allah shall cause whoever acts treacherously to perish and shall have mercy on whoever remains loyal. “Thus, anyone who violates his oath has indeed violated his own soul,
and anyone who fulfills the covenant he has made with Allah, He shall soon grant him a great reward.”

O people! Say what I told you, and greet Ali with the title of “The Commander of the Believers.” And also say: “We listened, and obeyed, Your forgiveness do we seek, Our Lord, and towards Your reward or punishment is the eventual turn.”

And say: “Praise be to Allah who has guided us to this. Never could we be guided had Allah not guided us.”

O people! Without doubt, the merits of Ali ebne Abee Talib in the sight of Allah, the mighty and the majestic, which are indeed revealed in the Holy Quran, are more numerous than I could recount in one speech; thus, whenever someone relates them to you and acquaints you with them, believe him.

O people! Whoever obeys Allah, His Messenger, Ali, and the Imams that I mentioned, has indeed achieved a great prosperity.

O people! The foremost from among you in paying homage to him, truly accepting his guardianship, and greeting him as “the Commander of the Believers” are the winners of the gardens of bliss.

O people! Say what makes Allah be pleased with you, and know that if you and all the people on earth disbelieve, it shall not harm Allah in the least.

O Allah! Forgive the believers through what I have conveyed and commanded, and let Your Wrath descend upon those who deny and disbelieve, and praise belongs to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.
