9-5 حدثنا أبي رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن إبراهيم الكرخي، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي عن الحسن بن عطية، عن عطية، عن زيد بن أرقم قال: رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لعلي عليه السلام: اعطيت فيك يا علي تسع خصال: ثلاث في الدنيا وثلاث في الآخرة واثنتان لك وواحدة أخافها عليك، فأما الثلاثة التي في الدنيا فإنك وصيي وخليفتي في أهلي وقاضي ديني، وأما الثلاث التي في الآخرة فاني اعطى لواء الحمد فأجعله في يدك وآدم وذريته تحت لوائي، وتعينني على مفاتيح الجنة، وأحكمك في شفاعتي لمن أحببت، وأما اللتان لك فانك لن ترجع بعدي كافرا ولاضالا،وأما التي أخافها عليك فغدرة قريش بك بعدي يا علي
9-5 (The compiler of the book narrated) that his father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’ed ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Yaqoob ibn Yazid, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr, on the authority of Ibrahim al-Karkhi, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Muslim, on the authority of Abi Hamzih al-Somali, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Atiye, on the authority of Atiye, on the authority of Zayd ibn Arqam that God’s Prophet (MGB) told Ali (MGB), “O Ali ! God has granted me nine things due to you: three are for this world; three are for the Hereafter; two are for you and one is what I fear for you. And the three for this world are: you are my Trustee; you are my Caliph reigning over my people; and you are the judge of my religion. And the three for the Hereafter are: when I am given the Flag of Praise (‘Leva ul-Hamd) in the Hereafter, I will place it in your hand and Adam and his progeny will be under my flag; you will assist me at the gates of Paradise; and you will ask me to intercede on behalf of whomever loves you. The two that are for you are that you will not become an unbeliever nor will you go astray after me. O Ali! What I fear for you is that the Quraysh will act treacherously with you after me.”

9-6 حدثنا الحسين بن يحيى البجلي قال: حدثنا أبي قال أبوزرعة قال: حدثنا أحمد بن القاسم قال: حدثنا قطن بن نسير قال: حدثنا جعفر قال: حدثنا يعقوب بن الفضل، عن شريك بن عبد الله بن عبدالرحمن المزني عن أبيه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: اعطيت في علي تسع خصال: ثلاثا في الدنيا وثلاثا في الآخرة، واثنتين أرجوهما له، وواحدة أخافها عليه: وأمـا الثلاثة التـي في الدنيـا فسـاترعورتي، والقائم بأمر أهل بيتي، ووصيي في أهلي. وأما الثلاثة التي في الآخرة فاني اعطي لواء الحمد فاعطيه يحمله وأتكئ عليه عند قيام الشفاعة، ويعينني على مفاتيح الجنة. وأما الاثنتان اللتان أرجوهما له فانه لا يرجع بعدي كافرا ولا ضالا، وأما الواحدة التي أخافها عليه فغدر قريش به بعدي
9-6 Al-Hussein ibn Yahya al-Bajaly narrated that Abu Zar’at quoted Ahmad ibn al-Qasim, on the authority of Qatn ibn Naseer, on the authority of Ja’far , on the authority of Yaqoob ibn al-Fazl, on the authority of Sharik ibn Abdullah ibn Abdul Rahman al-Mozani, on the authority of his father that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “I have been granted nine characteristics due to Ali (MGB): three are for this world; three are for the Hereafter; two are for him and one is what I fear for him. And the three for this world are: he will be the one to cover up my private parts ; he will be the one in chargeof the affairs of my Household; and he will be my Trustee in my family. And the three for the Hereafter are: when I am given the Flag of Praise (‘Leva ul-Hamd) ’ in the Hereafter, I will grant it to him to carry and I will lean on it at the time of the Rising for Intercession; and he will assist me at the gates of Paradise. The two that are for him are that he will not turn into an unbeliever or go astray after me. And the one I fear for him is that the Quraysh will act treacherously with him after me.”
