"I am the master of the prophets and the messengers, and better than the close angels. My successors are the masters of the successors of the prophets and the messengers, and my progeny are the best progeny of the prophets and the messengers, and my companions who follow my path are the best companions of the prophets and the messengers, and my daughter Fatima is the lady of the women of the worlds, and the pure ones from my wives are the mothers of the believers. And my nation is the best nation brought forth for people, and I am the prophet with the most followers on the Day of Resurrection, and I have a pool as wide as the distance between Basra and Sana'a. It contains cups as numerous as the stars in the sky. My successor at the pool that day is my successor in this world." It was asked: "Who is that, O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The leader of the Muslims, the commander of the faithful, and their guardian after me, Ali ibn Abi Talib. He will give drink to his friends and drive away his enemies just as one of you drives away strange camels from the watering place." Then he ﷺ said: "Whoever loves Ali and obeys him in this world will come to my pool tomorrow and be with me at my level in Paradise; and whoever hates Ali in this world and disobeys him, I will not see him, nor will he see me on the Day of Resurrection, and he will be driven away from me and taken to the left, to Hell."
