I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say three phrases to `Ali ; each of which is more beloved to me than this world and all that is in it. I heard him say: O Allah! Assist him and assist others through him. O Allah! Support him and support others through him, for he is Your servant and the brother of Your Messenger. Then, Abu Dharr said: I bear witness to the allegiance, brotherhood, and deputyship of `Ali. Kadira b.

Thabit the Bearer of Two Testimonies, Abu Ayyub the owner of the house of the Messenger of Allah (s), and Hashim b. `Atiyya al-Murqal would also bear witness to that like of that for him. They were all from the best of the companions of the Messenger of Allah (s).
