Keep safe my Shia, my lovers, my helpers and those who attached themselves to me in the world.’ A cry will then come from the depths of the Throne proclaiming: ‘Your supplication has been accepted and so too has your intercession for them.’ Also on that day every one of my Shias, my lovers, my helpers and those who defended me with their action or speech against those who attacked me will intercede for 70 000 of their neighbours and relatives. The remaining gate is for all of the other Muslims who bore witness to the Oneness of Allah, and did not have even an iota of grudge or malice in their hearts for us, the Ahl al-Bayt.” <ref name=":24">Tabatabai, Al-Mizan fi Tafsir al-Quran, Volume 17, Page 301</ref> | In the book Al-Khisaal it is has been reported from Abu Abdillah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ali ibn Abi Talib who said: “Indeed heaven has eight gates - one gate through which the Prophets and the truthful will enter from, one gate through which the martyrs and the righteous will enter into, and five gates will be for our Shias (followers) and lovers to enter through; and I will remain at the bridge, asking and praying to Allah saying, ‘O Allah!
