5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Salih ibn al-Sindi from Ja’far ibn Bashir from Harun ibn Kharija that Abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I was with Abu Ja’far at a session, when a man asked him, ’Please speak to me about the wilaya (divine authority) of Ali , whether it is from Allah or from His Messenger?’ The Imam who seemed angry said: ’Fie upon you! The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was more fearing of Allah than that he should say what he was not commanded by Allah. Indeed, He decreed it (The divine authority of Ali ) just as he decreed prayer, zakat, fasting and hajj to be obligatory.'"
