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.’"
