And it has been mentioned that the three are gathered for him and even more, and affliction is in accordance with patience and the deep-rootedness of faith.

And from the book Haqa'iq Asrar al-Din: Verily, Hamzah is the lion of Allah upon His earth, and verily, Ja'far the Flyer navigates in the form of a ship. For that reason it has been said: "If any of you is afflicted by something on land, let him call out: 'O Hamzah,' and if any of you is afflicted at sea, let him call out: 'O Ja'far,' for he shall be saved from its terror by the permission of Allah."

[226] And from the book al-Mithal wa-al-Surah, al-Baqir, His glory is might, said: "If I were to find a group of three Muslims who protect themselves with the protection of my command, I would surely entrust them with a discourse due to which they would have no need alongside it to look into a matter of lawful or unlawful, nor into [what] was or what will be until the Day of Resurrection."

Do you not see this allusion to the science of monotheism, that if the truth had been in that which the majority of the Shi'ites follow, he would not have uttered this statement.
