Beliefs of Shias about Imam Ali

Not only do the Shias have such belief, but most of Sunni scientists also believe in this matter. It has been narrated from in a lot of books that Sofyan Ben Eiine has said
أزهد الصحابة عليّ بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه
The most pious companions is Ali Ben Abi Taleb.
Of course, to answer this question, we had better analyze the remarks of Sunni scientists about the wealth of the second caliph in the time of his death.
The second caliph: pay 86000 coins of my debts from my properties
Bokhari narrates in the book '' Sahih'' that after the child of the second caliph was hit, he said
O' Abdullah Ben Umar! They accounted the debt that I should pay; it is about eighty six thousand. If you can, pay it with the wealth of the dynasty of Umar; you otherwise, request Bani Edi to pay it. If you cannot pay through Bani Edi, request Ghoreish Tribe to pay it and do request others to pay it.
In this part, we analyze the document of the narration.
The writer of the book '' Umar Ben Shebhe (Abi Maaz)
Ibn Hajar has said about him
عمر بن شبة بفتح المعجمة وتشديد الموحدة بن عبيدة بن زيد النميري بالنون مصغر أبو زيد بن أبي معاذ البصري نزيل بغداد صدوق له تصانيف من كبار الحادية عشرة مات سنة اثنتين وستين وقد جاوز التسعين ق

Children and the inheritors of Umar
Apart from wife (the number of wives of a person does not change the share of inheritance), Umar had nine sons and four daughters. After Abu Naeim mentions this matter, he says their explanation
خلف من أولاده تسعة من الذكور وأربعا من الإناث ...
Umar had nine sons and four daughters.
Final reasons: the wealth of the second caliph was 1343000 after his death
We deal with concluding reasons:
1. One of inheritors of Umar sold the share of inheritance a hundred thousand coins;
Umar had nine sons, four daughters and some wives and the share of inheritance of daughter is half of the share of daughter. Hence, after detracting one eighth of the share of his wives, the wealth of Umar has been divided into eleven parts.
A hundred thousand in eleven equals with one million and a hundred thousand (this is share of a son among share of children).
This number is seven eighth of all of share of inheritors because this number is derived after one eighth of share of wives is detracted. Hence, one million and a hundred thousand is divided in seven and then it is multiplied in eight. This determines total share: 125714142.8 (one million and two hundred and fifty seven thousand and one hundred and forty two and eight Dirham) (total share of children and wives).
All of personal wealth and properties were 1343000 coins (one million and three thousand hundred and forty three) in the time of his death. (Of course, it is not clear that coin is Dirham or Dinar and even if purpose is Dirham, this number equals with 134300 gold coins).
How much wealth did Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) have in the time of his decease?
Tabarani narrates with several documents (some of them are valid) in this way '' when Amir Momenan, Imam Ali (peace be upon him), martyred, Imam Hasan (peace be upon him) sermonized in this way
Last night, some one among you passed away. No one (whether people before you or after you) will not be as knowledgeable as him. The messenger of God never sent him to any wars and he did not give him any flags except that he came with victory that God granted him. Gabriel was in his right side and Michael was in his left side and they accompanied him at war.
He did not leave any inheritance (neither Dirham nor Dinar) except jewelry that cost 700 coins that has been left from his share from Beit Al-Mal and he wanted to hire a servant for his dynasty.
His soul was separated from his body at night that Isa passed away.

We mention the end of this verse
وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ * يَوْمَ يُحْمَى عَلَيْهَا فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوَى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ هَذَا مَا كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا مَا كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ
Sura Toba verse 34-35
the messenger of God ( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) sent Abubakr to Mecca in order to recite the Surah of Barrat and to express the hate of God and his messenger from the polytheists in the ninth year. However, when Abubakr was at the midway, Gabreil descended and ordered the prophet to recite this Surah himself or a person from his family and dynasty.
Afterwards, the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) sent Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) with Abubakr to take back the verses of the Quran, to bring Abubakr back and recite it in the rituals of Hajj in Mecca.
Abubakr became very sad from this event and came back with crying eyes and asked its reason from the prophet. He said '' God has ordered me to do this mission myself or a person from my family.
أُمِرْتُ أَنْ لَا يُبَلِّغَهُ إِلَّا أَنَا، أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنِّي.
This was one of matters that provoked animosity toward Amir Momenan (peace be upon him). this animosity became worse after the decease of the messenger of God ( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants), fired the house of revelation and made the person that taken back the letter of expressing hate from Abubakr stay at home after some years.
On one hand, this unique virtue proves the superiority of Amir Momenan ( peace be upon him) over the first caliph because according to this narration, Amir Momenan ( peace be upon him) was the closet person to the prophet of God and the complete obedient of the prophet as he said from Ibrahim.
فَمَنْ تَبِعَني‏ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّيIbrahim/ verse 36
It has been said in this narration that the prophet said
لاَ يَذْهَبُ بها الا رَجُلٌ مني وأنا منه.
It is not appropriate that someone else does this mission except a person from my family.
This means that Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) is the soul of the prophet (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) and he is not different from him. In fact, they are a soul in two bodiesas God has considered Amir Momenan (peace be upon him) the soul of the prophet in the verse of Mobahele.
Some verses of the Quran and to send the message of God and his messenger to the polytheists let alone the caliph and the successor of the alst of the prophet of God.
This narration has been narrated with valid documents in the Sunni sources and most of the Sunni dignitaries have corrected it and we will analyze some documents from among different documents.
The first narration: Zeid Bin Yosei from Abubakr
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، قَالَ: قَالَ إِسْرَائِيلُ: قَالَ أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ: عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ يُثَيْعٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ (ص) بَعَثَهُ بِبَرَاءَةٌ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ: لَا يَحُجُّ بَعْدَ الْعَامِ مُشْرِك، وَلَا يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ عُرْيَانٌ، وَلَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا نَفْسٌ مُسْلِمَةٌ، مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) مُدَّةٌ، فَأَجَلُهُ إِلَى مُدَّتِهِ، وَاللَّهُ بَرِيءٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَرَسُولُهُ، قَالَ: فَسَارَ بِهَا ثَلَاثًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ: «الْحَقْهُ، فَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَبَلِّغْهَا أَنْتَ»، قَالَ: فَفَعَلَ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (ص) أَبُو بَكْرٍ بَكَى، قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، حَدَثَ فِيَّ شَيْءٌ؟ قَالَ: «مَا حَدَثَ فِيكَ إِلَّا خَيْرٌ، وَلَكِنْ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ لَا يُبَلِّغَهُ إِلَّا أَنَا، أَوْ رَجُلٌ مِنِّي».
Narrating from Abubakr, Zeid Bin Yosei says '' the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) sent Abubakr to Mecca in order to recite the verses of Baraat and in Toghei has said '' he was sent to Mecca to announce
From now on, the polytheists should not fulfill the rituals of Hajj and circle around the house of God with naked body. Only the Muslims go to the heaven. their treaties with the messenger of God ( peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) are acceptable before due time and God and his messenger hate the polytheists.
Abubakr had just passed by three houses when the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants) ordered to Imam Ali (peace be upon him) to go to Abubakr, take back the verses of Baraat, to bring him back and to announce them to the people of Mecca himself.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) left Medina rushly and did his mission as the prophet had ordered. When Abubakr came to the presence of the messenger of God (peace of Allah be upon him and his descendants), he cried and said ''O' the messenger of God! Is there something wrong with me?'' the prophet answered '' there is only goodness about you, but I have been ordered to recite the verses of Baraat for the people of Mecca myself or a man from my family.
