28-42 In the (Arabic) month of Rajab of the year 339 A.H. (950 A.D.) in Qum Hamza ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Zayd ibn Ali ibn Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (s) narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted in the year 307 A.H. (918 A.D.) on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Khalid, on the authority of Abil Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha (s), on the authority of his father (s), on the authority of his forefathers (s), on the authority of Ali (s) that God’s Prophet (s) said, “Whoever likes to board the Ship of Salvation, grab the Reliable Grip and guard himself with God’s Strong Rope, should love Ali after me and be the enemy of Ali’s enemies. He should follow the Divine Leaders to Guidance who are from Ali’s progeny and accept them as his leaders, since they are my Successors; Trustees; and God’s Proofs for the creatures; Masters of the nation and the guiders to Paradise. Their party is my party, and the party of their enemies is the party of Satan.”
