[Machine] Ali used to say during the life of the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , that Allah says, "If he dies or is killed, will you turn back on your heels?" By Allah, we will not turn back on our heels after Allah has guided us. And by Allah, if he dies or is killed, I will surely fight for what he fought for until I die. And by Allah, I am his brother, his guardian, his cousin, and his inheritor. So, who is more entitled to him than me?

أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ يَقُولُ {أَفَإِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ} وَاللهِ لَا نَنْقَلِبُ عَلَى أَعْقَابِنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَانَا اللهُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ مَاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ عَلَى مَا قَاتَلَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ وَاللهِ إِنِّي لَأَخُوهُ وَوَلِيُّهُ وَابْنُ عَمِّهِ وَوَارِثُهُ فَمَنْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنِّي
