1. We were told by my Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasim Majilawayh, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Sayrafi, from Muhammed bin Sinan, from Mufaddal bin Umar, that he said: Abu Abdillah said in a long narration in which he says in its ending: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said to Umm Salama ﷺ: O Umm Salama, hear and testify: This is Ali bin Abi Talib, my brother in this world and my brother in the Hereafter. O Umm Salama, hear and testify: This is Ali bin Abi Talib, my minister in this world and my minister in the Hereafter. O Umm Salama, hear and testify: This is Ali bin Abi Talib, the carrier of my banner in this world and the carrier of the banner of praise tomorrow in the Hereafter. O Umm Salama, hear and testify: This is Ali bin Abi Talib, my Bequeathed and Successor after me, the defeater of my enemies and protector of my basin. O Umm Salama, hear and testify: This is Ali bin Abi Talib, the Master of the Muslims, the Leader of the Godfearing, the Chief of the White-footed, the killer of the violators, the heretics and the renegades. I said: O Messenger of Allah, who are the violators? He said: Those who will pledge allegiance to him in Medina and violate it in Basra. I said: Who are the heretics? He said: Mu’awiya and his companions from the people of the Levant. Then I said: Who are the renegades? He said: The people of Nahrawan.
