سورة الأنبياء

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): وَ الَّتِی أَحْصَنَتْ فَرْجَها [And she who guarded her chastity] — no one looked at Maryam (peace be upon her). فَنَفَخْنا فِیها مِنْ رُوحِنا [So We breathed into her of Our spirit] — it is a spirit created by Allah.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) — addressing Mufaddal: Allah, Blessed and Exalted, is One in His sovereignty. He made Himself known to His servants, then entrusted His affair to them and granted them His Paradise. Whomever of jinn and mankind Allah wishes to purify the heart of, He acquaints him with our wilayah (guardianship); and whomever He wishes to make blind of heart, He withholds from him the recognition of us. O Mufaddal! By Allah, Adam (peace be upon him) did not become worthy of being created by Allah's own hand and having His spirit breathed into him except through the wilayah of Ali (peace be upon him). And Allah did not speak to Musa in direct speech except through the wilayah of Ali (peace be upon him). And Allah did not appoint Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) as a sign for the worlds except through his submission to Ali (peace be upon him). Higher still I say: no creature ever gained from Allah the worthiness of gazing upon Him except through servitude and worshipful bondage to us."
