RASOOLALLAH (SWT) said:
ALLAH (SWT) has given so many incredible virtues to my brother, ALI BIN ABI TALIB (ASWS), that they are impossible to count.
If someone mentions one of his virtues while believing in it, ALLAH (SWT) will forgive all of his past and future sins.
If someone writes one of his virtues, angels will seek forgiveness for him for as long as that written text continues to exist.
If someone listens to one of his virtues, ALLAH (SWT) will forgive all of the sins that he has committed using his ears.
If someone reads a book about his virtues, ALLAH (SWT) will forgive all of the sins that he has committed using his eyes.
Looking at ALI BIN ABI TALIB (ASWS) is worshipping ALLAH (SWT), and mentioning him is worshipping ALLAH (SWT).
ALLAH (SWT) does not accept the beliefs of anyone who does not accept ALI (ASWS)’s Wilayat, and who does not renounce his enemies.
