The status of the Shiites of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH)

 Hazrat Zahra (sa) said:

شیعَتُنا مِنْ خِیارِ اءهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَكُلُّ مُحِبّینا وَ مَوالى اَوْلیائِنا وَ مُعادى اعْدائِنا وَ الْمُسْلِمُ بِقَلْبِهِ وَ لِسانِهِ لَنا

Our Shias (followers), as well as the lovers of our lovers, and those who are enemies of our enemies, and those who submit to us (and cling to us) with their hearts and tongues, will be the best people in Paradise.

(Bihar Al-Anwar, Vol. 68, pg. 155)
