We ask help only from Him and have faith reliance on Him.I (P.B.U.H.) give evidence that there is no God except God. Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) is his servant and prophet. Yes on people very soon I (P.B.U.H.) am departing from you and am leaving two weighty and most valuable things among you holy Quran and my Ahl al-Bayt[1] (A.S).
These will never be separated from each other till the time they reach me on the bank of the Kauser stream (on the day of justice.) Therefore , you remain resort and bonded with them and never abandon them. If you abandon them you will annihilated.

Oh God ! be the friend of the one who loves Ali and be the enemy of the one who has enemity with him. Help the helpers of Ali and humble and suppress all those who want to humble him.
