The allegiance of Ali AS to the Holy Prophet SAWW

374. Narrated to us Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Safwaan, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Mus’ab, who has said: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام has said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘I عليه الصلاة والسلام had pledged allegiance to the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, to be (loyal) in the hardship, and ease, and the freedom, and the restriction, until such time Al-Islam spreads and becomes strong’. And Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام took from them (Shites) (a Covenant) that they shall prevent from Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and his صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم descendants, what they had prevented themselves as well as their own children from. So I عليه الصلاة والسلام also took from them (Shites). Rescued was the one who was rescued, and destroyed was the one who was destroyed’.
