حَدَّثَنا أَبُو القاسِم عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْران الدَّقَّاق رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبي عَبْدِ اللَّه الكُوفِي قالَ: حَدَّثَنا سَهْلِ بْنِ زِياد الأَدَمِي، عَن عَبْدِ العَظِيم بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّه الحَسَنِيِ‏حَدَّثَني سَيِّدي عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِى الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن أَبيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِى‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، عَن آبائِهِ، عَن الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِى‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ: قالَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ السَّمْعِ، وَإِنَّ عُمَرَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْبَصَرِ، وَإِنَّ عُثَْمانَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْفُؤَادِ. قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ دَخَلْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَعِنْدَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعُثَْمانُ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَتِ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ فِي أَصْحَابِكَ هَؤُلاءِ قَوْلاً، فَمَا هُوَ. فَقَالَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ السَّلامُ نَعَمْ، ثُمَّ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ هُمُ السَّمْعُ وَالْبَصَرُ وَالْفُؤَادُ، وَسَيُسْأَلُوَن، عَن وَلايَةِ وَصِيِّي هَذَا وَأَشَارَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ إِنَّ السَّمْعَ وَالْبَصَرَ وَالْفُؤادَ كُلُّ أُولئِكَ كانَ عَنْهُ مَسْؤُلاً، ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ السَّلامُ وَعَزَّةِ رَبِّي إِنَّ جَمِيعَ أُمَّتِي لَمَوْقُوفُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَسْئُولُونَ، عَن وَلايَتِهِ، وَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَقِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْؤُلُونَ.

Abul Qasim Ali ibn Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Imran ad-Daqqaq - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Abi Abdillah al-Kufi quoted on the authority Sahl ibn Ziyad al-Adami, on the authority of Abdul Azeem ibn Abdullah Al-Hassani, on the authority of his Master Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Ridha’ (a.s.), on the authority of his father Muhammad ibn Ali (a.s.), on the authority of his father Al-Ridha’ (a.s.), on the authority of his forefathers (a.s.), on the authority of Al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.) that God’s Prophet (S) said, “Abu Bakr is like my ears, Umar is like my eyes and Uthman is like my heart.” Al-Husayn ibn Ali (a.s.) added, “The next day I went to see him when the Commander of the Faithful (Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.)), Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman were present. I asked the Prophet (S), “O father! [66] Yesterday you said something about these companions. What did you mean?” The Prophet (S) said, “Yes.” And the Prophet (S) pointed at them and added, “They are my ears, eyes and heart.” The Prophet (S) pointed at Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) and said, “And they will be asked about my Trustee that is him.” Then he (a.s.) added, “Indeed the Honorable the Exalted God says, ‘…for every act of hearing, or of seeing or of (feeling in) the heart will be enquired into (on the Day of Reckoning).’ [67] I swear by the Honor of my Lord that all my nation on will be held up on the Resurrection Day and questioned about his Mastery. That is what is meant when the Honorable the Exalted God says, ‘But stop them, for they must be asked.’ [68] “
