(a.s.)’s hand. The pebble uttered the twin witness of la ilaha ill Allah, Mohammadur
Rasool Allah. Then the pebble also uttered its faith in the wilayath of Hazrat Ali (a.s.).
The Prophet (a.s.) then said that whosoever witnessed that Allah is one, Mohammed
(a.s.) is His Prophet and Ali (a.s), the Wali and Vicegerent can have no fear of going
to the Hell.
• Imam Raza (a.s.) has narrated from his ancestors that they had heard from the Prophet
(a.s.), who in turn had received the information from Jibrael and Mikael that Allah
has said,” the Wilayath of Ali (a.s.) is like a fort where every person is safe from My
Retribution.”
• Books of all the schools mentioned that the Prophet (a.s.) has said,” If all the people
were united on the matter of the Wilayath of Ali (a.s.), Allah would not have created
the Hell.
• Anas narrates from the Prophet (a.s.),” Allah will send a group of people who’s faces
will radiate light, who will be sitting on shining chairs and will be dressed in bright
raiment. They will be seated under the shade of the firmament. They will be sitting in
the company of the Prophets (a.s.) although they will not be the Prophets themselves,
they will accompany the martyrs although they may themselves not be martyred
people.” Then the Prophet (a.s.) also said,” (keeping his hand on the head of Hazrat
Ali (a.s) that these people will be his Shias (friends).”
• Sheik Toosi narrates from Imam Raza (a.s.) that the Prophet (a.s.) told to Hazrat Ali
(a.s.) that on the Day of Judgement, after completion of the account of good deeds
and sins of the people, Allah would give to him the Keys to the Heaven and the Hell.
Then the Prophet (a.s.) would in turn hand over the Keys to Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and tell
him,” O goblet-bearer of the Cistern of Kauther! Whomsoever you wish to send to the
Heaven or to the Hell, you may do that!”
• Ibne Babawiyah quotes from reliable source of having heard from the Imams (a.s.)
that on the Day of Judgement a pulpit will be arranged. Hazrat Ali (a.s.), with orders
of Allah will sit on this pulpit. An Angel will stand on his right and another on the
left. The Angel on the right will announce that Hazrat Ali (a.s.) is sitting on the pulpit
and he will send the deserving people to the heaven. The Angel on the left too would
announce that the persons deserving of punishment will be sent by Hazrat Ali (a.s.) to
the Hell.
• Abdallah bin Umar reports that the Prophet (a.s.) told to Hazrat Ali (a.s.),” When the
Day of Judgement comes, O Ali! You will be astride a horse made of light. On your
head there will be a shining crown. The light of this crown will make the eyes blink.
At that time an announcement will be heralded by Allah,’ O the friend of My friend
(Mohammed Mustafa)! Where are you?’ O Ali! You will say that you are at His
service! Then Allah will say,’ O Ali! It is you who is the arbiter who will decide as to
who should go to the Heaven and who should go to the Hell.’
• Imam Raza (a.s.) narrates that Hazrat Ali (a.s.) has said that one day he was sitting
with the Prophet (a.s.) near the Kaaba when one old man with a bent body having a
staff in his hand, wearing a red cap on his head and a woolen overall came near the
Prophet (a.s.) and said,” O the Prophet of Allah! Kindly pray that Allah pardons me!”
the Prophet (a.s.) replied,
