Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad ibn ’Urama from Ali ibn Hassa’n from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Kathir from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s) about the words of Allah, the Most High. “. .for they were guided to speak the noblest words and follow the praiseworthy path.” (22:24) The Imam (a.s) said, “They were Hamza, ‘Ubayda, Salman, abu Dhar, al-Miqdad ibn al_Aswad and ‘Ammar who were guidedd to Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s). “However, God has endeared the faith to you and has made it attractive to your hearts –meaning thereby Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s)) He has made disbelief, evil deeds and disobedience hateful to you. Such people will have the right guidance (meaning thereby the first, the second and the third)” (49:7)
