He said: Abu Ja'far Muhammad b.ALI b. al-Husain b.Babawayh, may ALLAH (SWT) bless him with mercy, reported to me from his father, who reported from Sa'd b. Abdillah, from Ayyub b. Nuh, from Safwan Ibn Yahya, from Aban b. Uthman, who reported that: ABU ABDULLAH, JA'FAR B. MUHAMMAD,(SAWW) peace be upon him, said:
On the Day of Resurrection, an announcer will announce from inside the Throne: "Where is the Khalifa of ALLAH (SWT) on earth?" So Dawood, the PROPHET, will stand up and the voice from ALLAH (SWT), Most High, will say: "We do not mean you, although you were ALLAH (SWT)'s Khalifa.
" Then a second announcement will be made: "Where is ALLAH (SWT)'s Khalifa on earth?" Then AMIRUL MO’MINEEN (ASWS), ALI BIN ABI TALIB (ASWS), peace be upon him, will rise. So a voice will come from ALLAH (SWT), Most High: "O people! This ALI BIN ABI TALIB (ASWS) is the Khalifa of ALLAH (SWT) on His earth and His proof over His slaves.
So whoever adhered to his rope while on earth, should hang on to his rope here (also), so that he may have the benefit of his light and may follow him in the rising ranks of Paradise." He said: A group of people will rise who had adhered to his rope during life on earth, and will follow him into Paradise.
Then there will be announcement from ALLAH (SWT), Most High: "O those who followed a leader while living on earth, follow him as he goes, and they will go with him." That will be the time when those who led will dissociate themselves from those who followed them, and they will see the chastisement, and all relations between them will be severed.
'And those who followed will say: if only we had one more chance, we would dissociate ourselves from them, as they have disowned themselves from us. Thus will ALLAH (SWT) show them their deeds as anguish for them and never will they come out of the hellfire.' (2:166,167)
