3. `Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Imran al-Daqqaq said: Muhammad ibn Abu `Abd Allah al-Kufi said: Muhammad ibn Isma`il al-Barmaki said: `Ali ibn al-`Abbas related to me that al-Hasan ibn Yusuf said on the authority of `Abd al-Salam, on the authority of `Ammar ibn Abu al-Yaqzan, that Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq said:

The Messenger of Allah will take hold of the Waistband of his Lord on the Day of Judgment. We will take hold of the Prophet’s Waistband, and our Shi`ites will take hold of our Waistband. We and our Shi`ites are the Party of Allah, and the Party of Allah shall be triumphant.1 By Allah, we do not declare it to be Waistband of the cloth; rather, it is greater than that. The Messenger of Allah will take hold of Allah’s religion [din]. We will take hold of the relgion of our Prophet , and our Shi`ites will take hold of our religion.
