3. We were told by Muhammed bin Umar, the Keeper, al-Ju’abi, that he said: We were told by Abu Abdillah, Muhammed bin Qasim al-Muharibi, that he said: We were told by ‘Ubad bin Ya’qoub, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Hashim, from his father, that he said: At the presence from Zaid bin Ali bin Hussain, peace be upon them both, it was mentioned the saying of the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family:

Whoever I am his Leader, then Ali is his Leader. He said: He assigned him as banner, that the Party of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, might be known with it during the schism.
