81. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from ‘Ammar al-Sabati who has said the following. “I asked abu ‘Abdallah about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious. “Are those who seek God’s pleasure equal to those who incur His wrath and whose dwelling will be hell, the terrible destination? (3:162) People are of various grades in the sight of God. .” (3:163) The Imam said, “Those who follow what Allah is pleased are the Imams. They, by Allah, O ‘Ammar, give grades and degrees to the true believers. By means of our Wilaya (Leadership and guardian ship with Divine Authority) and their acknowledgment of us Allah increases the reward for their good deeds and (Allah) raises them to higher positions.”
