Thus six people next to Ali and other six following Sa’id bin Wahb stood up and said: “We give witness that The Messenger of Allah had declared: “Of whosoever I am the master, then Ali is his master. O' Allah! befriend the one who befriends him, and be hostile to the one who shows hostility towards him.”
