Le sens de l'accomplissement des serviteurs envers le serment avec Allah, et le sens de l'accomplissement d'Allah, Exalté et Glorieux soit-Il, envers le serment avec les serviteurs

1. We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasem, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Qurashi, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Rabee’ al-Zahrani, that he said: We were told by Huraiz, from Laith bin Abi Saleem, from Mujahid, from Ibn Abbas, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: When Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, sent down: «And fulfill the oath with Me, I will fulfill the oath with you.» (2:40) By Allah, verily, Adam went out of this world and he had made his people swear an oath to fulfill to his son, Sheeth [1], and it was not fulfilled to him. Verily, Nuh went out of this world and he had made his people swear an oath to fulfill to his Successor, Sam, and his nation did not fulfill it him. Verily, Ibrahim went out of this world and he had made his people swear an oath to fulfill to his Successor, Isma’eel , and his nation did not fulfill it him. Verily, Musa went out of this world and he had made his people swear an oath to fulfill to his Successor, Jusha’ bin Nun [2], and his nation did not fulfill it him. Verily, Isa was raised to Heaven and he had made his people swear an oath to fulfill to his Successor, Sham’un bin Hamoun al-Safa [2], and his nation did not fulfill it him. And indeed, I am to depart from you soon, and I am to leave from before your appearance, and I have, verily, made my nation swear an oath to fulfill with regards to Ali bin Abi Talib. Indeed, it is the one that will ride the traditions of those before it of nations, with regards to opposing my Successor and disobeying him. Alas, I am, indeed, renewing upon you my oath (by which you are bound) with regards to Ali. Thus, the one who violates, he only violates on the account of himself, and the one who fulfills to what he has sworn an oath to Allah for, He will grant him a great reward. O people, indeed, Ali is your Leader after me, my Successor upon you, and he is my Bequeathed, Minister, brother, assistant, husband of my daughter, the father of my sons and the possessor of my salvation, basin and banner. The one who denies him has certainly denied me, and the one who denies me has certainly denied Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, and the one who acknowledges his Imamate has certainly acknowledged my Prophethood, and the one who acknowledges my Prophethood has certainly acknowledged the Oneness of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He. O people, the one who disobeys Ali has certainly disobeyed me, and the one who disobeys me has certainly disobeyed Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, and the one who obeys Ali has certainly obeyed me, and the one who obeys me has certainly obeyed Allah. O people, the one who rejects Ali with regards to speech or action has certainly rejected me, and the one who rejects me has certainly rejected Allah above His Throne. O people, the one amongst you who chooses above Ali a leader has certainly chosen above me a prophet, and the one who has chosen above me a prophet has certainly chosen above Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, a lord. O people, indeed, Ali is the Master of the Successors, the Leader of the Radiant and Beautiful and the Master of the Believers. His ally is my ally, and my ally is the ally of Allah, and his enemy is my enemy, and my enemy is the enemy of Allah. O people, fulfill the oath of Allah with regards to Ali, and it will be fulfilled to you with regards to Paradise on the Day of Resurrection.

Quand Allah, exalté et glorifié soit-Il, a révélé: "Et remplissez Mon engagement, Je remplirai le vôtre" (Coran 2:40), certes Adam est sorti du monde en ayant pris l'engagement envers sa descendance pour son fils Seth, mais ils n'ont pas rempli cet engagement. Noé est sorti du monde en ayant pris l'engagement envers sa descendance pour son fils Shem, mais ils n'ont pas rempli cet engagement. Abraham est sorti du monde en ayant pris l'engagement envers sa descendance pour son fils Ismaël, mais ils n'ont pas rempli cet engagement. Moïse est sorti du monde en ayant pris l'engagement envers sa descendance pour son fils Joshua, mais ils n'ont pas rempli cet engagement. Jésus fils de Marie a été élevé aux cieux en ayant pris l'engagement envers sa descendance pour son disciple Simon son successeur, mais ils n'ont pas rempli cet engagement. Certes, je vais bientôt vous quitter et partir d'entre vous, et j'ai pris l'engagement envers ma communauté envers Ali ibn Abi Talib. Il est le renouveau de mon engagement envers vous en Ali. Celui qui rompt cet engagement ne fait que se nuire à lui-même, et celui qui remplit son engagement envers Allah recevra une grande récompense. Ô gens, Ali est votre imam après moi, votre calife sur vous, il est mon successeur, mon ministre, mon frère, mon protecteur, le mari de ma fille, le père de mes enfants, le défenseur de ma cause, de ma citerne et de mon étendard. Celui qui le rejette me rejette, celui qui me rejette rejette Allah, celui qui reconnaît son imamat reconnaît ma prophétie, celui qui reconnaît ma prophétie reconnaît l'unicité d'Allah. Ô gens, celui qui désobéit à Ali me désobéit, celui qui me désobéit désobéit à Allah, celui qui obéit à Ali m'obéit, celui qui m'obéit obéit à Allah. Ô gens, celui qui s'oppose à Ali dans ses paroles ou ses actes s'oppose à moi, et celui qui s'oppose à moi s'oppose à Allah au-dessus de Son Trône. Ô gens, celui d'entre vous qui choisit Ali comme imam a choisi Ali comme prophète, et celui qui choisit Ali comme prophète a choisi Allah comme Seigneur. Ô gens, Ali est le chef des successeurs, le guide des croyants, le maître des dévots, mon successeur, le successeur de mon successeur, le successeur de Dieu, celui qui m'aime, celui qui le déteste me déteste, celui qui le déteste déteste Allah. Ô gens, remplissez l'engagement envers Allah envers Ali, Il vous récompensera au Paradis le Jour de la Résurrection.
