What Quranic or Hadith evidence is available to support the belief that Imam Ali (as) is superior to all prophets, with the exception of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh)?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Quran states in Sura 3, verse 61 that Ali (AS) is like the self of the Prophet وأنفسنا وأنفسكم. Say: (O Muhammad): Come, let us call our sons and your sins, our women and your women, ourselves and yourselves, then we pray and invoke the curse of Allah upon the liars. The Prophet brought Ali as himself. This means that Ali's status is the greatest after the Prophet Muhammad (SAWA).
The Prophet (SAWA) said to Ali (AS): O Ali, you are from me and I am from you.

'This prophetic statement is very clear that Ali is from the Prophet and the Prophet is from Ali. No prophet was having such high status from the Proohet Muhammad (SAWA).

I heard a Shia scholar mention a narration in which the Prophet Muhammad (s) stated that he witnessed Imam Ali creating Prophet Adam with his own hands? Is this authentic?
