10. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Aysam Bin Asheym, from Muawiya Bin Ammar have said the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘One day the Prophet (saww) came out having received good news, smiling joyfully. So the people said to him (saww), ‘May Allah (azwj) keep you smiling for the whole life, O Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), and increase your (saww) joy’. The Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) said: ‘There is no day or night except that I (saww) receive a Gift from Allah (azwj). Indeed! Allah (azwj) has Gifted to me (saww) in this day of mine (saww) with a Gift which He (azwj) has never Gifted to me the like of it in the past. Gabriel (as) came to me (saww) and conveyed Greetings to me (saww) from my (saww) Lord (azwj) and said: ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Chosen seven from the Clan of Hashim (as) that He (azwj) has never Created anyone similar to them from the past nor will He (azwj) be Creating anyone like them in the future. You (saww), O Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) are the Chief of the Prophets (as), and Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws) is your (saww) Successor (asws) and the Chief of the successors (as), and Al-Hassan (asws) and Al-Husayn (asws) your (saww) grandsons (asws) are the Chiefs of the grandsons, and Hamza (as) your (saww) uncle is the Chief of the martyrs, and Ja’far (as) the son (as) of your (saww) uncle (as) is the flyer in the Paradise flying along with the Angels wherever he (as) desires to, and among you all is the Rising One (Al-Qaim (asws)) behind whom (asws) Isa (as) Bin Maryam (as) will be Praying when Allah (azwj) Sends him (as) down to the earth. He (asws) will be from the descendants of Ali (asws) and Fatima (sa) from the sons (asws) of Al-Husayn (asws)’.
