Hadith.5918 - Sa'd ibn Tarif narrated from Al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah, who said:
Commander of the Faithful, Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib 
, said in one of his sermons:
"O' people, listen to my words and understand them from me, for separation is near.
I am the leader of creation, the successor of the best of creatures (Prophet ﷺ), the husband of the mistress of the women of this nation (Sayyidah Fatima {s.a}), and the father of the pure progeny and the guiding Imams .
I am the brother of the Messenger of Allah (swt), peace and blessings be upon him and his family, his successor, his guardian, his minister, his companion, his confidant, his beloved, and his intimate friend.
I am Commander of the Faithful , the leader of the radiant, the master of the successors .
My war is the war of Allah (swt), my peace is the peace of Allah (swt), obedience to me is obedience to Allah (swt), and allegiance to me is allegiance to Allah (swt).
My followers are the friends of Allah (swt), and my supporters are the supporters of Allah (swt).
By the One (swt) who created me when I was nothing, those entrusted with the knowledge among the companions of Muhammad ﷺ, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, surely know that the oath-breakers, the unjust, and the renegades are cursed on the tongue of the 'untutored' (one who needed no teacher) Prophet ﷺ,
and "indeed, he has failed who invents falsehood." (Surah Taha 20:61)
