5-94 Abu Mansoor Ahmad ibn Ibrahim ibn Bakr narrated that Zayd ibn Muhammad al-Baghdady quoted Abul Qasim Abdullah ibn Amer al-Ta’ee, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (MGB), on the authority of his father (MGB), on the authority of his forefathers (MGB), on the authority of Ali (MGB) that God’s Prophet (MGB) said, “
O Ali! I asked my Lord for five things regarding you and He granted them to me. The first thing was that when the Earth is rent asunder, I shall be the first one to be resurrected and wipe the dirt off of my face and you will be alongside me. This was accepted. The second thing I asked my Lord for was that when I am taken to the Scale for my deeds to reckon my deeds, you be alongside me. This was accepted. The third thing that I asked my Lord - the Honorable the Exalted - for was that you be the one carrying my flag. This was accepted. The fourth thing I asked for was that you be the one at my Pool to serve water to my nation. This was accepted. And the fifth thing that I asked my Lord for was that you be the one leading my nation into Paradise. This was also accepted. Therefore, I praise God for what He had granted me.”

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ياعلي سألت ربي فيك خمس خصال فأعطاني، أما أولها فسألت ربي أن أكون أول من تنشق عنه الارض وأنفض التراب عن رأسي وأنت معي، فأعطاني. وأما الثانية فسألت ربي أن يقفني عند كفة الميزان وأنت معي، فأعطاني. وأما الثالثة فسألت ربي أن يجعلك في القيامة صاحب لوائي، فأعطاني. وأما الرابعة فسألت ربي ان يسقى امتي من حوضي بيدك، فأعطاني. وأما الخامسة فسألت ربي أن يجعلك قائد امتي إلى الجنة فأعطاني. فالحمد لله الذي من علي بذلك
