قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهٖ أَنَا مَدِينَةُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَنْتَ بَابُهَا يَا عَلِيُّ كَذَبَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يَدْخُلُهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ بَابِهَا
The Messenger of Allah (peace be on him and his progeny) warned,
“I am the city of Paradise and you are its gate, O Ali! He has lied who thinks that he will enter it (Paradise) other than its door.”
