Sahl bin Ahmad narrated from Abu Jaafar Mohammad bin Jarir Al-Tabari, from Hinad bin Al- Serri, from Mohammad bin Hisham, from Saeed son of Abi Saeed, from Mohammad bin Monkader, from Jabir bin Abdillah Al-Ansari, who said:
The MESSENGER of ALLAH (SWT) said:
When ALLAH (SWT) created the heavens and the earth, He called on them and they responded. He presented my Prophethood and the WILAYAT (unconditional, unlimited authority) of ALI BIN ABI TALEB (ASWS) to them, both of which they accepted.
Then ALLAH (SWT) created the creatures and entrusted the religious affairs to us. Therefore, the happy ones are those who are happy with us, and the unhappy are those who are unhappy with us. We permit that which ALLAH (SWT) has made HALAAL (lawful) and prohibit that which ALLAH (SWT) has deemed HARAAM (unlawful).
