10-14 Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Musa - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Hamzih ibn al-Qasim al-Alavi quoted Muhammad ibn al-Ab’bas ibn Basam, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Khalid ibn Ibrahim al-Sa’edi, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Abdullah al-Yamani, on the authority of Ali ibn al-Abbas al-Muqar’ri, on the authority of Hammad ibn Amr al-Naseebi, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Borqan, on the authority of Maymun ibn Mihran, on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Abbas , “God’s Prophet (MGB) stood amongst us and gave a lecture. In the end of it, he (MGB) said, ‘The Honorable the Exalted God has put ten characteristics together inus which He never did for anyone else before us and no one else will have them besides us. We have wisdom; perseverance; knowledge; Prophecy; munificence; bravery; frugality; honesty; purity; modesty; and piety is in us. We are the path to guidance; we are the superior example; we are the great proof; we are the firm bond (Urwat al-wuthqa) and the firm rope (Habl al-Matin). God has ordered that we be loved. What do you expect to find beyond the truth other than deviation and loss?’”
