رفع علي بيدي رسول اللَّه‌ Introduction of Ali Above the Hands of the Prophet

ايُّهَا النّاسُ، مَنْ اوْلى بِكُمْ مِنْ انْفُسِكُمْ؟ قالوا: اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ. فَقالَ:

"Ali was raised by the Messenger’s hands: 'O people, who is more worthy of you than yourselves?' They said: 'Allah and His Messenger. 'He said: 'So whoever I am his master, this Ali is his master. O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him, and support whoever supports him, and forsake whoever forsakes him.'"

اِنَّهُ خَليفَةُ رَسُولِ‌اللَّهِ وَاَميرُالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالاِمامُ الْهادي مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَقاتِلُ النَّاكِثينَ وَالْقاسِطينَ وَالْمارِقينَ بِاَمْرِ اللَّهِ.

"Indeed, he is the successor of the Messenger of Allah, the Commander of the Faithful, and the divinely guided Imam. He is the fighter against the renegades, the oppressors, and the dissenters by the command of Allah. Allah says: 'The word will not be changed with Me.' By Your command, O Lord, I say: O Allah, befriend whoever befriends him, and be hostile to whoever is hostile to him, and support whoever supports him, and forsake whoever forsakes him, and curse whoever denies him, and be angry with whoever rejects his right."

 

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ اَنْزَلْتَ الْآيَةَ في عَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّكَ عِنْدَ تَبْيينِ ذلِكَ وَنَصْبِكَ اِيَّاهُ لِهذَا الْيَوْمِ: «اَلْيَوْمَ اَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دينَكُمْ وَاَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُم نِعْمَتي وَرَضيتُ لَكُمُ الاِسْلامَ ديناً»، «وَمَنْ يَبْتَغِ غَيْرَ الاِسْلامِ ديناً فَلَنْ يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخاسِرينَ».

"O Allah, indeed You revealed the verse regarding Ali, Your ally, at the time of declaring this and appointing him for this day: 'Today I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you, and I have chosen for you Islam as your religion.' 'And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted from him, and he, in the Hereafter, will be among the losers. 'O Allah, I bear witness that I have conveyed [Your message]."

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"O people, there is no village except that Allah will destroy it for its denial before the Day of Resurrection and will give it to the Imam Al-Mahdi. And Allah is true to His promise."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، قَدْ ضَلَّ قَبْلَكُمْ اَكْثَرُ الْأَوَّلينَ، وَاللَّهُ لَقَدْ اَهْلَكَ الْأَوَّلينَ، وَهُوَ مُهْلِكُ الْآخِرينَ. قالَ اللَّهُ تَعالي: «اَلَمْ نُهْلِكِ الْأَوَّلينَ، ثُمّ‌نُتْبِعُهُمُ الْآخِرينَ، كَذلِكَ نَفْعَلُ بِالْمُجْرِمينَ، وَيْلٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلْمُكَذِّبينَ».

"O people, indeed most of the earlier generations went astray before you, and Allah has certainly destroyed the earlier ones, and He will destroy the later ones. Allah, the Exalted, said: 'Did We not destroy the earlier ones, then follow them up with the later ones? Thus do We deal with the criminals. Woe on that Day to the deniers.'"

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ اَمَرَني وَ نَهاني، وَ قَدْ اَمَرْتُ عَلِيّاً وَ نَهَيْتُهُ بِأَمْرِهِ. فَعِلْمُ الْأَمْرِ وَ النَّهْيِ لَدَيْهِ، فَاسْمَعُوا لِأَمْرِهِ تَسْلِمُوا وَاَطيعُوهُ تَهْتَدُوا وَانْتَهُوا لِنَهْيِهِ تُرْشِدُوا، وَصيرُوا اِلي مُرادِهِ وَلا تَتَفَرَّقُ بِكُمُ السُّبُلُ عَنْ سَبيلِهِ.

"O people, indeed Allah has commanded me and prohibited me, and I have commanded Ali and prohibited him by His command. The knowledge of what is commanded and prohibited is with him, so listen to his commands to attain safety, and obey him to be guided, and refrain from his prohibitions to be rightly guided. Follow his desires and do not let the paths diverge from his path."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اَنَا صِراطُ اللَّهِ الْمُسْتَقيم الَّذي اَمَرَكُمْ بِاتِّباعِهِ، ثُمَّ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ بَعْدي، ثُمَّ وُلْدي مِنْ صُلْبِهِ اَئِمَّةُ الْهُدي، يَهْدُونَ اِلَي الْحَقِّ وَبِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ.

"Allies of the Ahl al-Bayt and their enemies."

"O people, I am the Straight Path of Allah that He has commanded you to follow. Then Ali is after me, and my descendants from his loins are the Imams of guidance, guiding to the truth and acting justly."

"Then he recited: 'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds. The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Master of the Day of Judgment. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. Guide us on the Straight Path, the path of those who have received Your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath upon themselves, nor of those who have gone astray.'"

"And he said: 'It was revealed about me and about them, and by Allah, it was revealed; and it has encompassed them, and it has specifically addressed them. Those are the allies of Allah, for whom there is no fear, nor shall they grieve. Indeed, the party of Allah—they are the victorious.'"

اَلا اِنَّ أعْدائَهُمْ هُمُ السُّفَهاءُ الْغاوُونَ اِخْوانُ الشَّياطينِ يُوحي بَعْضُهُمْ اِلي بَعْضٍ زُخْرُفَ الْقَوْلِ غُرُوراً.

"Indeed, their enemies are the foolish, the misguided, the brothers of the devils. They inspire one another with embellished speech as a deception."

أَلا اِنَّ أوْلِيائَهُمُ الَّذينَ ذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ في كِتابِهِ، فَقالَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ: «لا تَجِدُ قَوْماً يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَومِ الْآخِرِ يُوادُّونَ مَنْ حادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كانُوا آبائَهُمْ اَوْ اَبْنائَهُمْ اَوْ اِخْوانَهُمْ اَوْ عَشيرَتَهُمْ، اُولئِكَ كَتَبَ في قُلُوبِهِمُ الْايمانَ وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوح مِنْهُ وَ يُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنّات تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهارُ خالِدِينَ فِيها رَضِيَ اللّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ رَضُوا عَنْهُ أُولئِكَ حِزْبُ اللّهِ أَلا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ »

"Indeed, their allies are those whom Allah mentioned in His Book, saying: 'You will not find a people who believe in Allah and the Last Day having affection for those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they were their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their kindred. Those are the ones whom He has inscribed faith in their hearts and supported them with a spirit from Him. And He will admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. Those are the party of Allah; indeed, the party of Allah—they are the successful.'"

أَلا اِنَّ اَوْلِيائَهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الَّذينَ وَصَفَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ فَقالَ: «الَّذينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبَسُوا ايمانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ اُولئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَهُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ».

"Indeed, their allies are the believers whom Allah, the Exalted, has described, saying: 'Those who have believed and not mixed their faith with injustice—those are the ones for whom there is security, and they are the rightly guided.'"

أَلا اِنَّ اَوْلِيائَهُمُ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَرْتابُوا.

اَلا اِنَّ اَوْلِيائَهُمُ الَّذينَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلامٍ آمِنينَ، تَتَلَقَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ بِالتَّسْليمِ يَقُولُونَ: سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ طِبْتُمْ فَادْخُلُوها خالِدينَ.

اَلا اِنَّ اَوْلِيائَهُمْ، لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةُ يُرْزَقُونَ فيها بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ.

"Indeed, their allies are those who have believed and have not doubted.

Indeed, their allies are those who will enter Paradise in peace and security, and the angels will greet them with peace, saying: 'Peace be upon you; you have done well. Enter it, abiding eternally.'

Indeed, their allies will have Paradise, where they will be provided for without account."

اَلا اِنَّ اَعْدائَهُمُ الَّذينَ يَصْلَوْنَ سَعيراً.

أَلا اِنَّ اَعْدائَهُمُ الَّذينَ يَسْمَعُونَ لِجَهَنَّمَ شَهيقاً وَهِيَ تَفُورُ وَيَرَوْنَ لَها زَفيراً.

"Indeed, their enemies are those who will burn in a blazing fire.  

Indeed, their enemies are those who will hear Hell gasping as it boils over, and they will see it roaring."

اَلا اِنَّ اَعْدائَهُمُ الَّذينَ قالَ اللَّهُ فيهِمْ: «كُلَّما دَخَلَتْ اُمَّةٌ لَعَنَتْ اُخْتَها حَتَّي إِذَا ادَّارَكُوا فيها جَميعاً قالَتْ أُخْراهُمْ لِأُولاهُمْ رَبَّنا هؤُلاءِ أَضَلُّونا فَآتِهِمْ عَذاباً ضِعْفاً مِنَ النَّارِ قالَ لِكُلٍّ ضِعْفٌ وَ لكِنْ لا تَعْلَمُونَ»

"Indeed, their enemies are those about whom Allah said: 'Whenever a nation enters [Hell], it curses its sister nation, until when they have all followed one another therein, the last of them will say to the first of them, "Our Lord, these have led us astray, so give them a double punishment from the Fire." He will say, 'For each is a double [punishment], but you do not know.'"

أَلا اِنَّ أَعْدائَهُمُ الَّذينَ قالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ: «كُلَّما اُلْقِيَ فيها فَوْجٌ سَاَلَهُمْ خَزَنَتُها اَلَمْ يَاْتِكُمْ نَذيرٌ، قالُوا بَلي قَدْ جاءَنا نَذيرٌ فَكَذَّبْنا وَقُلْنا ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَي‌ءٍ، اِنْ اَنْتُمْ اِلاَّ في ضَلالٍ كَبيرٍ» إلي قوله: «اَلا فَسُحْقاً لِأَصْحابِ السَّعيرِ».

"Indeed, their enemies are those whom Allah, the Exalted, said about: 'Whenever a group is thrown into [Hell], its keepers will ask them, "Did not a warner come to you?" They will say, "Yes, indeed a warner came to us, but we denied and said, 'Allah has not revealed anything; you are only in great error.'" Until His statement: 'So be gone to the companions of the blazing fire.'

Indeed, their allies are those who fear their Lord in secret; for them is forgiveness and a great reward."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، شَتَّانَ ما بَيْنَ السَّعيرِ وَالْأَجْرِ الْكَبيرِ.

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، عَدُوُّنا مَنْ ذَمَّهُ اللَّهُ وَلَعَنَهُ، وَوَلِيُّنا كُلُّ مَنْ مَدَحَهُ اللَّهُ وَاَحَبَّهُ.

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اَلا واِنّي النَّذيرُ وَعَلِيٌّ الْبَشيرُ.

"O people, how different is the blazing fire from the great reward!

O people, our enemy is the one whom Allah has condemned and cursed, and our ally is everyone whom Allah has praised and loved.

O people, indeed I am the warner and Ali is the bearer of good tidings.

O people, indeed I am the one who warns, and Ali is the guide.

O people, indeed I am a Prophet, and Ali is my successor."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اَلا وَاِنّي رَسُولٌ وَعِليٌّ الْإِمامُ وَالْوَصِيُّ مِنْ بَعْدي، وَالْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وُلْدُهُ. اَلا وَاِنّي والِدُهُمْ وَهُمْ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ.

"O people, indeed I am a Messenger, and Ali is the Imam and the successor after me, and the Imams after him are his children.  

Indeed, I am their father, and they will come forth from his loins."

اَلا اِنَّهُ الْمُدْرِكُ بِكُلِّ ثارٍ لِأَوْلِياءِ اللَّهِ. اَلا اِنَّهُ النَّاصِرُ لِدينِ اللَّهِ.

"Indeed, the last of the Imams from us is the Awaited Mahdi.  

Indeed, he is the one who will prevail over the religion. Indeed, he is the avenger against the oppressors.  

Indeed, he is the conqueror of fortresses and their destroyer.  

Indeed, he will dominate every tribe of polytheists and guide them.  

Indeed, he will be the one who avenges every blood of the allies of Allah.

Indeed, he is the supporter of the religion of Allah."

اَلا اِنَّهُ الْغَرَّافُ مِنْ بَحْرٍ عَميقٍ. اَلا اِنَّهُ يَسِمُ كُلَّ ذي فَضْلٍ بِفَضْلِهِ وَكُلَّ ذي جَهْلٍ بِجَهْلِهِ. اَلا اِنَّهُ خِيَرَةُ اللَّهِ وَمُخْتارُهُ. اَلا اِنَّهُ وارِثُ كُلِّ عِلْمٍ وَالْمُحيطُ بِكُلِّ فَهْمٍ.

"Indeed, he is the one who draws from a deep ocean. Indeed, he marks every person of virtue with his virtue and every person of ignorance with his ignorance. Indeed, he is the chosen one of Allah and His selected one. Indeed, he is the inheritor of all knowledge and the one who encompasses all understanding."

اَلا اِنَّهُ الْمُخْبِرُ عَنْ رَبِّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَالْمُشَيِّدُ لِأَمْرِ آياتِهِ. اَلا اِنَّهُ الرَّشيدُ السَّديدُ. اَلا اِنَّهُ الْمُفَوَّضُ اِلَيْهِ.

اَلا اِنَّهُ قَدْ بَشَّرَ بِهِ مَنْ سَلَفَ مِنَ الْقُرُونِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ.

اَلا اِنَّهُ الْباقي حُجَّةً وَلا حُجَّةَ بَعْدَهُ وَلا حَقَّ اِلاَّ مَعَهُ وَلا نُورَ اِلاَّ عِنْدَهُ.

اَلا اِنَّهُ لا غالِبَ لَهُ وَلا مَنْصُورَ عَلَيْهِ. اَلا وَاِنَّهُ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ في اَرْضِهِ، وَحَكَمُهُ في خَلْقِهِ، وَاَمينُهُ في سِرِّهِ وَعَلانِيَتِهِ.

"Indeed, he is the one who informs about his Lord, the Exalted, and establishes the affairs of His signs.

Indeed, he is the rightly guided and correct one.

Indeed, he is the one to whom authority has been entrusted.

Indeed, he has been foretold by those who preceded him from past generations.

Indeed, he is the lasting proof; there is no proof after him, no truth except with him, and no light except in his presence.

Indeed, there is no one who can overpower him, nor anyone who can assist against him.

Indeed, he is the ally of Allah on His earth, His judge among His creation, and His trustworthy one in both secret and public."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، إنّي قَدْ بَيَّنْتُ لَكُمْ وَاَفْهَمْتُكُمْ، وَهذا عَلِيٌّ يُفْهِمُكُمْ بَعْدي. اَلا وَاِنّي عِنْدَ انْقِضاءِ خُطْبَتي اَدْعُوكُمْ اِلي مُصافَقَتي عَلي بَيْعَتِهِ وَالْإِقْرارِ بِهِ، ثُمَّ مُصافَقَتِهِ بَعْدي.

"O people, indeed I have explained to you and made it clear, and this is Ali who will make it clear to you after me. Indeed, at the conclusion of my sermon, I invite you to shake hands with me in allegiance to him and to acknowledge him, then to shake hands with him after me."

اَلا وَاِنّي قَدْ بايَعْتُ اللَّهَ وَعَلِيٌّ قَدْ بايَعَني، وَاَنا آخِذُكُمْ بِالْبَيْعَةِ لَهُ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ. «اِنَّ الَّذينَ يُبايِعُونَكَ اِنَّما يُبايِعُونَ اللَّهَ، يَدُاللَّهِ فَوْقَ اَيْديهِمْ. فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَاِنَّما يَنْكُثُ عَلي نَفْسِهِ، وَمَنْ اَوْفي بِما عاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتيهِ اَجْراً عَظيماً».

"Indeed, I have pledged allegiance to Allah, and Ali has pledged allegiance to me, and I am taking you in allegiance to him on behalf of Allah, the Exalted. 'Indeed, those who pledge allegiance to you are only pledging allegiance to Allah; the hand of Allah is above their hands. So whoever breaks his pledge, he only breaks it to the detriment of himself, and whoever fulfills what he has promised Allah, He will give him a great reward.'"

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، ما وَقَفَ بِالْمَوْقِفِ مُؤْمِنٌ اِلاَّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ما سَلَفَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ اِلي وَقْتِهِ ذلِكَ، فَاِذَا انْقَضَتْ حَجَّتُهُ اسْتَأْنَفَ عَمَلَهُ.

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، الْحُجَّاجُ مُعانُونَ وَنَفَقاتُهُمْ مُخَلَّفَةٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَاللَّهُ لا يُضيعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنينَ.

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، حِجُّوا الْبَيْتَ بِكَمالِ الدّينِ وَالتَّفَقُّهِ، وَلاتَنْصَرِفُوا عَنِ الْمَشاهِدِ اِلاَّ بِتَوْبَةٍ وَاِقْلاعٍ.

"Permissible and prohibited, obligations and prohibitions."

"O people, indeed Hajj and Umrah are among the signs of Allah. 'So whoever performs Hajj to the House or performs Umrah, there is no blame upon him for circling them.'

O people, perform Hajj to the House, for no family has approached it except that they became self-sufficient and were given good tidings. Do not neglect it, for if you do, you will be cut off and become poor.

O people, no believer stands at the standing place except that Allah forgives him for what has passed of his sins until that moment. When his Hajj is completed, he resumes his deeds.

O people, the pilgrims are supported, and their expenses are covered; Allah does not waste the reward of the doers of good.

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ كَما اَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ، فَإنْ طالَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمَدُ فَقَصَّرْتُمْ اَوْ نَسيتُمْ فَعَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّكُمْ وَمُبَيِّنٌ لَكُمْ.

الَّذي نَصَبَهُ اللَّهُ عزَّوَجَلَّ لَكُمْ بَعْدي اَمينَ خَلْقِهِ. اِنَّهُ مِنّي وَاَنَا مِنْهُ، وَهُوَ وَمَنْ تَخْلُفُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتي يُخْبِرُونَكُمْ بِما تَسأَلُونَ عَنْهُ وَيُبَيِّنُونَ لَكُمْ ما لا تَعْلَمُونَ.

"O people, establish prayer and give zakat as Allah, the Exalted, has commanded you. If a long time passes and you become negligent or forgetful, then Ali is your guardian and will clarify things for you.

He whom Allah, the Exalted, has appointed as the trustworthy one among His creation after me. He is from me, and I am from him. He and those who will come after him from my descendants will inform you about what you ask them and will clarify for you what you do not know."

اَلا اِنَّ الْحَلالَ وَالْحَرامَ اَكْثَرُ مِنْ اَنْ اُحْصِيَهُما وَاُعَرِّفَهُما فَآمُرَ بِالْحَلالِ وَاَنْهِيَ عَنِ الْحَرامِ في مَقامٍ واحِدٍ، فَاُمِرْتُ اَنْ آخُذَ الْبَيْعَةَ مِنْكُمْ وَالصَّفْقَةَ لَكُمْ بِقَبُولِ ما جِئْتُ بِهِ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ في عَلِيٍّ اَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْأَوْصِياءِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ الَّذينَ هُمْ مِنّي وَمِنْهُ اِمامَةً فيهِمْ قائِمَةً، خاتِمُها الْمَهْدِيُّ اِلي يَوْمٍ يَلْقَي اللَّهَ الَّذي يُقَدِّرُ وَيَقْضي.

"Indeed, the lawful and the unlawful are too numerous for me to enumerate and define in one sitting. I am commanded to enjoin what is lawful and to prohibit what is unlawful. Therefore, I am commanded to take your allegiance and pledge for accepting what I have brought from Allah, the Exalted, regarding Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, and the successors after him, who are from me and from him, with a continuous Imamate among them, the last of whom is the Mahdi until the Day when he meets Allah, who decrees and decides."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، وَكُلُّ حَلالٍ دَلَلْتُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَكُلُّ حَرامٍ نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْهُ فَإِنّي لَمْ‌اَرْجِعْ عَنْ ذلِكَ وَلَمْ اُبَدِّلْ. اَلا فَاذْكُرُوا ذلِكَ وَاحْفَظُوهُ وَتَواصَوْا بِهِ، وَلا تُبَدِّلُوهُ وَلا تُغَيِّرُوهُ.

اَلا وَاِنّي اُجَدِّدُ الْقَوْلَ: اَلا فَاَقيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَاْمُرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ.

"O people, every lawful thing I have guided you to and every unlawful thing I have prohibited you from, I have not retracted nor have I altered. So, remember this and preserve it, and advise one another regarding it; do not change it or alter it.

Indeed, I renew my statement: Establish prayer, give zakat, enjoin what is good, and forbid what is wrong."

اَلا وَاِنَّ رَأْسَ الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ اَنْ تَنْتَهُوا اِلي قَوْلي وَتُبَلِّغُوهُ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْضُرْ وَتَأْمُرُوهُ بِقَبُولِهِ عَنّي وَتَنْهَوْهُ عَنْ مُخالَفَتِهِ، فإنَّهُ اَمْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ وَمِنّي. وَلا اَمْرَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَلا نَهْيَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ اِلاَّ مَعَ اِمامٍ مَعْصُومٍ.

"Indeed, the essence of enjoining what is good is that you adhere to my words, convey them to those who are not present, and command them to accept it on my behalf and to refrain from opposing it, for it is a command from Allah, the Exalted, and from me. There is no enjoining of good or forbidding of wrong except with an infallible Imam."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، الْقُرْآنُ يُعَرِّفُكُمْ اَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وُلْدُهُ، وَعَرَّفْتُكُمْ إنَّهُمْ مِنّي وَمِنْهُ، حَيْثُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ في كِتابِهِ: «وَجَعَلَها كَلِمَةً باقِيَةً في عَقِبِهِ»، وقُلْتُ: «لَنْ تَضِلُّوا ما اِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِما».

"O people, the Quran informs you that the Imams after me are his children, and I have made it clear to you that they are from me and from him, as Allah says in His Book: 'And He made it a lasting word among his descendants.' And I said: 'You will not go astray as long as you hold fast to both of them.'"

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، التَّقْوي، التَّقْوي، وَاحْذَرُوا السَّاعَةَ كَما قالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ: «اِنَّ زَلْزَلَةَ السَّاعَةِ شَيْ‌ءٌ عَظيمٌ».

اُذْكُرُوا الْمَماتَ وَالْمَعادَ وَالْحِسابَ وَالْمَوازينَ وَالْمُحاسَبَةَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ وَالثَّوابَ وَالْعِقابَ. فَمَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ اُثيبَ عَلَيْها وَمَنْ جاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُ فِي الْجِنانِ نَصيبٌ.

"O people, piety, piety! And beware of the Hour, as Allah, the Exalted, has said: 'Indeed, the quake of the Hour is a tremendous thing.' Remember death, resurrection, accountability, scales, and the reckoning before the Lord of the worlds, as well as the rewards and punishments. Whoever comes with a good deed will be rewarded for it, and whoever comes with an evil deed will have no share in Paradise."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اِنَّكُمْ اَكْثَرُ مِنْ اَنْ تُصافِقُوني بِكَفٍّ واحِدٍ في وَقْتٍ واحِدٍ، وَقَدْ اَمَرَنِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّوَجَلَّ اَنْ آخُذَ مِنْ اَلْسِنَتِكُمُ الْإِقْرارَ بِما عَقَّدْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ اَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ، وَلِمَنْ جاءَ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنّي وَمِنْهُ، عَلي ما اَعْلَمْتُكُمْ اَنَّ ذُرِّيَّتي مِنْ صُلْبِهِ.

"O people, you are too numerous to shake hands with me with one hand at one time, and Allah, the Exalted, has commanded me to take from your tongues the acknowledgment of what I have established for Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, and for those who come after him from the Imams who are from me and from him, regarding what I have informed you that my descendants are from his loins."

فَقُولُوا بِأَجْمَعِكُمْ: «إنَّا سامِعُونَ مُطيعُونَ راضُونَ مُنْقادُونَ لِما بَلَّغْتَ عَنْ رَبِّنا وَرَبِّكَ في اَمْرِ اِمامِنا عَلِيٍّ اَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَمَنْ وُلِدَتْ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ.  

"Therefore, say together: 'Indeed, we are hearing, obedient, pleased, and submissive to what you have conveyed from our Lord and your Lord regarding our Imam Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, and those who are born from his loins among the Imams.'"

"We pledge allegiance to you regarding this with our hearts, our souls, our tongues, and our hands. We will live by this, die by it, and be resurrected by it. We will neither change nor alter, nor will we doubt, deny, or have any suspicion. We will not revert from the covenant, nor will we break the pact."

وَعَظْتَنا بِوَعْظِ اللَّهِ في عَلِيٍّ اَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْأَئِمَّةِ الَّذينَ ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ بَعْدَهُ، الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَمَنْ نَصَبَهُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَهُما.

"And you have advised us with the advice of Allah regarding Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, and the Imams whom you mentioned from your descendants after him, Hasan and Husayn, and whom Allah has appointed after them."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، ما تَقُولُونَ؟ فَاِنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ كُلَّ صَوْتٍ وَخافِيَةَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ، «فَمَنِ اهْتَدي فَلِنَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ ضَلَّ فَاِنَّما يَضِلُّ عَلَيْها»، وَمَنْ بايَعَ فَاِنَّما يُبايِعُ اللَّهَ، «يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ اَيْديهِمْ».

"O people, what do you say? Indeed, Allah knows every voice and the secrets of every soul. 'So whoever is guided is only guided for himself, and whoever goes astray only goes astray to its detriment.' And whoever pledges allegiance, indeed, he is pledging allegiance to Allah; 'the hand of Allah is above their hands.'"

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، فَبايِعُوا اللَّهَ وَبايِعُوني وَبايِعُوا عَلِيّاً اميرَالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ وَالْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا وَالاْخِرَةِ كَلِمَةً باقِيَةً؛ يُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ مَنْ غَدَرَ وَيَرْحَمُ مَنْ وَفي.«فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَاِنَّما يَنْكُثُ عَلي نَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ اَوْفي بِما عاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتيهِ اَجْراً عَظيماً».

"O people, pledge allegiance to Allah, and pledge allegiance to me, and pledge allegiance to Ali, the Commander of the Faithful, and to Hasan and Husayn, and to the Imams from them in this world and the Hereafter as a lasting word; Allah will destroy whoever betrays and will have mercy on whoever fulfills. 'So whoever breaks his pledge, he only breaks it to the detriment of himself, and whoever fulfills what he has promised Allah, He will give him a great reward.'"

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، قُولُوا الَّذي قُلْتُ لَكُمْ وَسَلِّمُوا عَلي عَلِيٍّ بِاِمْرَةِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ، وَقُولُوا: «سَمِعْنا وَاَطَعْنا غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَاِلَيْكَ الْمَصيرُ»، وَقُولُوا: «الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذي هَدانا لِهذا وَما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْلا اَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ» الآية.

"O people, say what I have told you and greet Ali as the Commander of the Faithful, and say: 'We have heard and we obey; Your forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the final destination,' and say: 'Praise be to Allah who has guided us to this, and we would not have been guided had it not been for Allah's guidance.'"

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، اِنَّ فَضائِلَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَبيطالِبٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّوَجَلَّ- وَقَدْ اَنْزَلَها فِي الْقُرْآنِ- أَكْثَرُ مِنْ اَنْ اُحْصِيَها في مَقامٍ واحِدٍ، فَمَنْ اَنْبَأَكُمْ بِها وَعَرَفَها فَصَدِّقُوهُ.

"O people, indeed the virtues of Ali ibn Abi Talib with Allah, the Exalted— which have been revealed in the Quran— are too numerous for me to enumerate in one sitting. So whoever informs you of them and recognizes them, believe him."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَعَلِيّاً وَالْأَئِمَّةَ الَّذينَ ذَكَرْتُهُمْ فَقَدْ فازَ فَوْزاً عَظيماً.

"O people, whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger and Ali, along with the Imams whom I have mentioned, has indeed achieved a great victory."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، السَّابِقُونَ اِلي مُبايَعَتِهِ وَمُوالاتِهِ وَالتَّسْليمِ عَلَيْهِ بِإِمْرَةِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ اُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفائِزُونَ في جَنَّاتِ النَّعيمِ.

"O people, those who are the first to pledge allegiance to him, show loyalty to him, and greet him as the Commander of the Faithful—those are the ones who will be successful in the Gardens of Bliss."

مَعاشِرَ النَّاسِ، قُولُوا ما يَرْضَي اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنْكُمْ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ، فَإِنْ تَكْفُرُوا اَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَميعاً فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً.

اَللّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنينَ بِما اَدَّيْتُ وَاَمَرْتُ وَاغْضِبْ عَلَي الْجاحِدينَ الْكافِرينَ، وَالْحَمْدُ للَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ

"O people, say what pleases Allah regarding you in your speech, for if you all disbelieve, you and all those on the earth, it will not harm Allah in anything.

O Allah, forgive the believers for what I have conveyed and commanded, and be angry with the denying disbelievers. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds."
