The people of the right hand

Hasan bin Mahboub, from Abi Zakariyya Al-Mouseli, from Jabir, from Mohammad bin Ali, from Ali bin Husain, from Husain bin Ali  (A.s.), who said:

The Messenger of Allah  (S.a.w.w.) said to Ali bin Abi Taleb (A.s.):

You are the person whom Allah (S.w.t.) used as an argument in the beginning of creation when people were shadows, when He asked them, “Am I not your Lord?”

“Yes,” they replied.

Allah (S.w.t.) asked them, “Is Mohammad (S.a.w.w.) not the Messenger of Allah (S.w.t.)?”
“Yes,” they replied.

Allah (S.w.t.) asked them, “Is Ali (A.s.) not the Commander of the Believers?”
All of the creation, except for a few, refused to answer that question. They were even less than a few. They are, “those of the right hand” (56:8).

(Ref : Bihar Al-Anwar 67:126, 26:272, 24-2. Amaali of Tousi 1:237.)
