40. “O people! God, glory to Him in the highest, has completed Religion with the
Leadership of Ali. Thus, those who do not show their submission to him, and his
successors, who are my progeny, and born from his lineage and are going to
continue until the Day of Resurrection, their actions will become useless in
this world and in the world to come. And they shall remain in the Eternal Flame,
so that not a single torment will be reduced from them, and no delay is granted
to them. (The Cow: 2/161)

41. O people! This Ali is the most useful, and
deserving, and the closest, as well is the dearest one to me! God Almighty and I
are most pleased with him. Not a Verse of God"s Satisfaction yet has been
revealed, unless ‘he’ is the subject of it, and He did called out to the
believers, unless ‘he’ was the first among to be called out! And there has been
no Verse of praise unless Ali was meant. And in Chapter “(Man: 76/1), Hæl ætæ
Illæl Ens?n, Has a period of time not come over man …)” God has mentioned
‘heaven’ only for him; He has not revealed it or praised anyone but him.

42. ‘O people! He is the helper of the Religion of God,

So is he the defender of the Messenger of God;

He is the most pious, pure, and a sincere guide

To the Straight Path, to God he will guide.

Your Messenger is the best Messenger,

And his executor is the best executor,

So are his descendants the best executors!’”

“O people! The descendants of
every prophet continue with his discordance, but my breed yet will be
perpetuated with Ali"s descendants, who are the believers’ Leader [and
Attendant]!

43. O people! Indeed, with his jealousy, Satan chased away Adam from Paradise,
thus, for God"s sake, be not jealous of Ali, lest your deeds are rejected, and
your steps slip. Adam was sent down to the earth for a single fault, while he
was, in fact, the chosen one, by God; thus, how will it come to you? While you
are no other than yourselves; and the enemies of God are also among you!

44.
Know that no one becomes Ali"s enemy, but who is cruel, and no one accepts his
Leadership but one who is prospers and pious, and no one, but a virtuous
believes him. I swear to God that the Chapter of (wæl-æsr: 103/1-2) has been
sent down in regard with Ali, [which goes as]: ‘In the name of Allah (Who’s) the
most Merciful Bountiful!

By the Era, (i.e.wæl-æsr), that man is indeed at a loss. Except for those, as
Ali, who believes, and is first class.’”

45. “O people! I took God as my Witness that I have delivered His Message to
you, and “The duty and the mission of a Messenger is but to make known God"s
Messages and to proclaim them the things crystal clear! (The Spider: 29/18, The
Light: 24/54).

46. O, people! Be heedful of God in such a way that He
deserves, and try to be honorable Muslims and then die.” (The Family of Imran:
3/102).

80. “Know that the last Imam, Mahdi, the Upright, is from us,

He shall dominate over the entire religions.

Lo! As he shall take revenge from the oppressors, therefore,

he is the victorious destroyer of the castles!

Lo! He is the conqueror of all the-lack-of-religion, and their Guide!

81. Lo!
He takes revenge for blood shed from the men of God!

Lo! He will assist the religion of God!

82. Know that, upon great measure, he shall seize [the Divine Knowledge] from
the deep sea!

Know that! He shall reward every well-informed, by measure of his knowledge, and
does so with the uninformed, by the measure of his ignorance!

Lo! He is great, and has been chosen by God!

Lo! He is the heir of all Knowledge, and he seizes upon all comprehension.

83.
Know that he breaks the news from His God, and elevates the Divine Verses [in
proud]!

Know that he is upright and pride.

Lo! It is he that the entire authorities have been given to.

84. Lo! All ‘bygones’ had foretold of his "Revelation".

85. Lo! It is he who
shall remain as an irrefutable Proof, for there will be, after him, not any
proof. Faith and honesty, and light and glint are with him only.

86. Know that no one could defeat him, and those who are facing him, won’t be
assisted.

Know that! He is the representative of God on Earth, so is he the Judge among
His creatures, and he is the Honest Trustee of His over the hidden and
manifest.”

62. “O people! I am the Straight Path of God, whom He has ordained you to
follow; and after me, it is Ali, and then my discordance, who shall be the
Leaders of the Guidance and will guide you to the righteousness and beauty.”

Then the Messenger of God announced:

‘In the name of Allah, (Who"s) the most Merciful Bountiful

Praise be to God only Lord of the worlds,

The Source of Grace, Mercy, Fair, and the Force,

Ruler of the Day when Repayments begin,

Owner of the Day when the Decree’s given!

Alone You we worship, You only the Wise,

From You the Sublime we ask for the rise,

Lead us into Direct Path of all the roads,

The Path of the Right, for repayment, You chose,

Not of those who were dishonored, neither those

Disowned by Your anger; thrown off the course!’ (The Opening: 1-7).

And then he continued:

‘This Verse has been sent down regarding me, and the Imams are appointed and
included in it. They are God’s Friends, and indeed they do not fear nor will
they grieve! (Jonah: 10/62).

Ah, of course the party of God is victorious! (The Heavenly Food: 5/56).

63.
Know that the enemies of the Imams are nothing but ignorant, who have been led
astray from the Direct Path; they are the Demons’ allies, who bring nothing to
people but bothering, insignificant and useless things, (Livestock: 6/112).

64. Know that God, in His Book, has expressed about the friends of the Imam,
thus: ‘(O Prophet,) you find not a people believing in God, and the Last Day,
yet showing love for those who oppose God, and His Messenger– even if they are
their own fathers, sons, their brothers or anyone from their family connection.
With such [people], God has engraved faith on their hearts. Assisted them with
the spirit of His Own, and He will admit them into the gardens where streams
flow by their trees, to live in [forever]. God will be pleased with them, and
they are pleased with Him. They are the lovers of God. Ah! Victorious are the
lovers of God!’ (The Pleading Woman: 58/22).

65. Know that the friends of the
Imams are those believers who have been described in the Qur’an, as: ‘Those who
have believed and not cloaked their faith in transgressing will feel more secure
and will be guided.’ (Livestock: 6/82).

66. “Know that their friends are those who have achieved firm faith, and they
have never doubted. (The Chambers: 49/15).

67. Know that the Imam’s friends
are these who shall enter Paradise in peace, in great security, and the Angels
will move humbly to their encounter to greet them thus: ‘Peace upon you! You are
purified, so then enter forever into Paradise!’ (The Rocky Tract: 15/46).

68. Know that Paradise is the reward of their friends, where they shall receive
extra provision. (The Believer: 40/40).

69. Know that their enemies will enter
the Fire, (The Woman: 4/10),

70. and will hear the moaning and groaning flames, while the infernal Flames
roars and blazes; they will hear afflicting horrible cries. (The Kingdom: 67/7).

71. Know that God has stated about their enemies, ‘Every time, when a nation
enters the Fire, it will curse its own kind,’ as the Qur’an says, ‘Until when
they have all caught up with one another, the last ones will say about the first
ones: Lord, these (people) have misled us, so give them double chastisement from
the Fire!’ [O Prophet,] say: ‘Each will have double, but you do not realize it.’
(The Heights: 7/38).

72. Know that the enemies of the Imams are those about whom God has stated as
this: ‘When a group of them is cast into Fire, the Hell keepers, will ask them:
"Did a Warner not come to you?" They will reply: ‘yes indeed, a Warner came to
us, but we denied any of them, saying: “God has not revealed you anything and
you are in a gross error.’” Then they say: ‘Had we listened to their advice and
used our reason, we would have not been among the inhabitants of this Hell!’

After confessing their sins, it will be said to them: ‘So away with the abiders
of the blazing Fire!’ (The Kingdom: 67/8-11).

73. Know that their friends fear
their Lord in secret, thus, there will be immense reward for them. (The Kingdom:
67/12).

74. O people! How great is the gap between the Fire, and the great reward!

75.
O people! God has damned and degraded our enemies but, He loves and praises our
[close] friends.

76. O people! Know that I am here to warn you, and Ali is the man who will guide
you!

77. Know that, I am a Warner and Ali is a Guide.

78. O people! Know that I am a Messenger, and Ali is my immediate successor.

79. O people! Know that I am the Messenger, and Ali is, after I am gone, my
successor, and the holy Imams following him, his descendants are all of them.


And let it be known that I am their father, and they are Ali’s lineage, one
after another!”

87. “O people! I have illuminated you of God’s Meaning, and made you comprehend
everything, and after I am gone, it is Ali’s duty to make you know [how to do
your duty].

88. Now, after my sermon is ended, I shall invite you, as a sign
of your faithfulness, to shake my hand, then Ali’s hand, as a sign of
surrendering to him and accepting his ‘Leadership’!

89. Know that I have sworn with God an allegiance and Ali has sworn with me an
allegiance; and now, on behalf of God the Mighty, Majestic [Himself], I shall
ask for your allegiance with Ali:

“[O Messenger!] For sure, those who swear allegiance with you, in fact, they
swear allegiance with God: God"s Hand is above their hands; for any person, who
breaks his oath, he does harm to his own soul; and anyone who fulfills his oath
with God, he will be bestowed a great reward by God.’"

90. “O people! Pilgrimage to the House or visiting it is among God"s religious
rites; so let the pilgrims to Hajj or Umreh go round about them more. Anyone who
voluntarily does some more good and decent deeds, God is indeed All-aware
Appreciative. (The Cow: 2/158).

91. O people! Set out for the Pilgrimage in
the House of God! For no one would enter the God’s House, without becoming free
of needs, and rejoicing; and no one would turn away from It, without becoming
poor and abolished!

92. O people! No believer shall stop at the Regions [of Arrafat-Mash"ar and Mina
to fulfill the rites], unless God forgives his previous sins, but fate is that
when his Pilgrimage, [Hajj], is completed, he makes a new start.

93. O people!
Upon the Hajj pilgrims, the pilgrims are bestowed help, and they are compensated
whatever they spend, for indeed, God does not waste away the reward of the
virtuous!

O people! Journey to visit the House of God as pilgrims, with a perfect faith,
and with a great grasp and knowledge! And do not ever come back from such holy
Land, unless feeling quite repentance [in heart], and promising to stop
committing sins:

94. O people! Perform prayer, and pay the due welfare tax, as God Almighty has
ordained you to act; but if a long time has passed, and you have neglected or
forgotten [them], then, Ali is your master, and he shall explain to you what to
do. He is the very man that God Almighty has set up as His certain trustee after
I am gone. He is from me, so am I from him.

He, as well as all those who will come to the world from my lineage, will answer
to all your needs, and will let you know whatever you do not know.

95. Know
that ‘the count of permissible and forbidden things’ is much more than I could
reckon, and to present them to you in one single session: [but only know that]
the permissible things are ordained to you, and the prohibited things are
forbidden.

Therefore, I have been commanded to take your allegiance, and that you swear it
with me, and shake hands with me, so that what I have declared you about Ali,
the Lord of the believers, on God"s behalf, and his successors who will follow
him. The ones who shall be coming from my lineage, but also from the
‘Leadership’ and his lineage; this Leadership is designated alone for them; and
the last ‘Leader’ will be ‘His Holiness Mahdi’, until the Day he shall meet the
Lord of the Providence and Fate!

96. O people! In regard with all permissible things I have guided you to follow,
and the forbidden things that I have prohibited you, there is no change at all,
nor have I ever transformed them to other detail. Remember it well, keep it in
your mind, and talk about this subject, and give councils to one another about
it and try not to change, nor transform it!

I repeat what I have just told you: perform your prayer, and do pay the due
welfare tax, encourage one another to do deeds which are good, and forbid
whatever is forbidden and not good.

97. But let it be known that the greatest
act of goodness is to understand deeply what I have just expressed, and to relay
this to those who have not been present here today, and to invite them to accept
this from me, and to forbid them to oppose or to me! For, this is a
Command coming from God Almighty, and from me; and no invitation to do good, nor
any prohibition of unlawful deeds will be accomplished or done, unless with the
presence of an innocent Imam!

98. O people! The Holy Qur’an makes it known to you that the Imams, who shall
come after Ali, will be his progeny descendants, as I told you before, they are
Ali’s or my dependants – all are from him and I. For He has put it in His Book
thus: ‘He assigned the creed of Leadership among those who will follow him,’
(The Ornament: 43/28). I have also said that as long as you seize these two,
‘the Imams and the Qur’an’ you shall you go astray!

99. O people! Take care of
your piety, [again] piety! And beware of the Hour of the Resurrection Day, as
God Himself has said: ‘The Shaking of that awful Hour is a terrible thing’…
(Pilgrimage: 22/1).

100. Do remember the Death, and the Divine Balances, and ‘Reckoning’ in the
presence of the Lord of the Reward, and Punishment! Whosoever brings good deeds
with him, shall receive his share of Reward, and whosoever with him brings his
sins, will not have any share [to enjoy] in Paradise.”
