15ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الله مَثَّلَ لِي أُمَّتِي فِي الطِّينِ وَعَلَّمَنِي أَسْمَاءَهُمْ كَمَا عَلَّمَ آدَمَ الاسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا فَمَرَّ بِي أَصْحَابُ الرَّايَاتِ فَاسْتَغْفَرْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ وَشِيعَتِهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي وَعَدَنِي فِي شِيعَةِ عَلِيٍّ خَصْلَةً قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ الله وَمَا هِيَ قَالَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ لِمَنْ آمَنَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَنْ لا يُغَادِرَ مِنْهُمْ صَغِيرَةً وَلا كَبِيرَةً وَلَهُمْ تُبَدَّلُ السَّيِّئَاتُ حَسَنَاتٍ.

15. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Fadhal from Abu Jamila from Muhammad al-Halabi from Abu ‘Abdallah who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Allah presented my ’Ummah (followers) to me in the realm of clay and taught me their names just as He had taught all the names to Adam. The (groups of) people of flags passed by and I prayed to ask forgiveness for Ali and his followers. My Lord has promised me a quality for the Shi‘a of Ali .’
