“Greet Ali as the commander of the faithful”
⁃Al-Kafi, vol. 1, p.292, Narration

‘O’ 'Ali! You are my brother, my successor, my executor and my caliph over my nation both during my life and also after my death. Those who love you, love me; and those who hate you, hate me; and your enemy is my enemy.”
⁃Al-Amali of as-Saduq, Page 124, Hadith 5

“The Wilayat of Ali is the Wilayat of Allah; love for him (Ali) is worship of Allah; following him (Ali) is an obligatory act from Allah; his friends are the friends of Allah and his enemies are the enemies of Allah”
⁃Al-Amali of as-Saduq, Page 32

“Allah, the Glorious and High, has said, “The Wilayat of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib is My fortress, so whoever enters into My fortress will be protected from My fire.”
⁃Jami' al-Akhbar, Page 52, Hadith 7

“O’ 'Ali! I am the city of knowledge and you are its gate, and no one can enter into the city except by going through its gate ...
You are the Imam of my nation and you are my successor. (1/2)

Blessed is the person who obeys you and depraved is the person who disobeys you. One who follows you will succeed, while the one who turns away from you will be in a loss.” (2/2)

O’ People! Ponder and understand the verses (of the Qur'an), observe those that are clear and do not follow those that are unclear: - (1/2)
