Pearl of Wisdom
'Paradise has eight doors: a door through which the prophets and the truthful ones will enter, a door through which the martyrs and the righteous will enter, five doors through which our shi?a and our lovers will enter ..., a door through which the rest of the Muslims will enter, that is , those that bear witness to 'There is no god but Allah' and who do not bear an atom's weight of enmity towards us, the Ahl alBayt.?
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib [as] al-Khisal, p. 408, no. 6

Sermon 227 About allegiance to Amir al-mu'minin for the Caliphate.
You drew out my hand towards you for allegiance but I held it back and you stretched it but I contracted it. Then you crowed over me as the thirsty camels crowd on the watering cisterns on their being taken there, so much so that shoes were torn, shoulder-cloths fell away and the weak got trampled, and the happiness of people on their allegiance to me was so manifested that small children felt joyful, the old staggered (up to me) for it, the sick too reached for it helter skelter and young girls ran for it without veils.
