Imam Sadiq (a.s) quoted upon the authority of God's Prophet (a.s): “There are several pulpits covered with light on the right side of the Throne on which men with shining faces sit who are neither martyrs nor Prophets.” Ummar ibn Khattab asked the Prophet (a.s) who they were. The Prophet (a.s) replied: “They are people who helped each other for God's sake. They treated each other as they treat their brothers, and helped one another for God's sake. They loved each other for God's sake.” At this point Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) entered and the Prophet pointed to Ali and continued: “They are his followers.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): إن في يمين العرش منابر من نور عليها رجال وجوههم من نور، ليسوا بأنبياء ولا شهداء، قال: فقال له عمر بن الخطاب: فمن هؤلاء يا رسول الله؟ قال: هم الذين تواصوا في الله وتواخوا في الله وتواصلوا في الله وتحابوا في الله، فدخل علي بن أبي طالب - صلوات الله عليه - فقال: هم شيعة هذا - وأشار إلى علي (عليه السلام) -.
