Ibn Abbas narrated from the Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P):
\nWhen the verse \u201cThose who believe and do righteous deeds are the best of the creation\u201d (Quran 98:7) was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (P.B.U.H&H.P) said to Ali (A.S): \u201cThey are you and your Shia.\u201d He continued: \u201cO Ali! (On the Day of Judgment) you and your Shia will come toward Allah well-pleased and well-pleasing, and your enemies will come angry with their head forced up. Ali (A.S) said: \u201cWho are my enemies?\u201d The Prophet (P.B.U.H&H.P) replied: \u201cHe who disassociates himself from you and curses you. And glad tiding to those who reach first under the shadow of al-\u2018Arsh on the day of resurrection.\u201d Ali (A.S) asked: \u201cWho are they, O the Messenger of Allah?\u201d He replied: \u201cYou\u2019re Shia, O Ali, and those who love you.\u201d
