“I have ten characteristics of the Prophet of God (MGB) each of which would please me more than everything upon which the sun shines. God’s Prophet (MGB) told me, ‘(O Ali!) You are my Trustee. You are my Vizier. You are the Caliph reigning over my Household and property. Your friends are my friends. Your enemies are my enemies. You are the master of the Muslims after me. You are my brother. You are going to be the closest person to me standing at the Threshold of the Omnipotent on the Resurrection Day. You are the one to uphold my flag in this world and the Hereafter.’”
