Only Allah is your Vali and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow. Quran [5:55] All sunni and shia scholars unanimously declare the third entity to be declared a vali as Imam Ali (AS). It is narrated by Ammar Yasir (RA) that a beggar came to Ali and stood besides him. Ali was kneeling in prayers. Ali put out his ring and gave it to the beggar. Then Ali (AS) called on the Prophet (SAW) and gave him the news. At this occasion, this verse (5:55) was revealed. The Ghadir Declaration, by Dr Muhammad Tahir ul Qadri, pages 48-49
