THE SHIA OF ALI ARE THE PIOUS
Abu Hamza narrated that he heard Abu Abdullah (a) saying: "I know some people whom Allah has forgiven, accepted, guarded, compassioned, protected against any evil, supported, guided to every right matter, and taken them to the highest places." Some asked: "Who are they, Abu Abdullah?" He (a) said: "These are our pious Shia: the adherents of Ali (a)." Refer to Bihar ul-Anwar; 68:142 (the end of) H.89
