1. Ahmad ibn Mahran has narrated from ‘Abd al-‘Azim ibn ‘Abdallah al-Hassani from Musa ibn Muhammad from Yunus ibn Ya‘qub from the person whom he mentioned, from abu Ja‘far (a.s.). The Imam (a.s.) said the following about the words of Allah, the Most Holy, the Most High. “Had they (jinn and mankind) remained steadfast in their path (religion, Islam), We would certainly have given them abundant water to drink.” (72:16) It means, “Had people maintained steadfastness in respecting the Divine authority of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.), and the Divine authority of his successors from his children and agreed to obey their orders and prohibitions He would have given them abundant water. He says, We would drench their hearts with faith. The path (al-Triqa) means to have faith in the Divine authority of Amir al-Mu’minin Ali (a.s.) and his successors from his children.”
