The true successors on earth


He said: Abu Bakr Muhammad b. Umar al-Je'abi reported to me from Abdul Abbas Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Saeed, who reported from Ja'far b. Muhammad b. Marwan, who reported from his father, who reported from Ibrahim b.al-Hakam, from al- Masoodi, who reported from al-Harith b. al-Haseerah, from Imran b. Hasim, who said:

Once Umar b. al-Khattab and I were present with the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, and Ali, peace be upon him, was sitting by his side. Then the Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, recited the following verse (from the Qur'an):

 'Or who answers the distressed when he calls upon Him and relieve the affliction, and has made you successors on the earth? Is there another god with Alalh? No indeed. How little do you reflect?' (27:62).

He said: (Upon hearing this), Ali, peace be upon him, quivered like a bird. The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said: "Why are you so worried?" He said: "Why would I not worry, as Allah says He will make us the successors on earth?" The Prophet, peace be upon him and his progeny, said: "Do not be anxious! By Allah, none but the (true) believer willlove you, and none but a hypocrite will hate you." 

(Ref Al-Amali Shaikh Mufeed The thirty sixth Assembly Hadees no.5)
