By the Name of Allah, the most Compassionate, the most Merciful.
According to the Lugatu'l-Hadith, Volume 3, pp. 66-67, it is narrated by Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq (a.s.) that the holy Prophet said: "God made the Throne of four" (colours: green light, yellow light, red light and white light) and thence these lights came to this world.
According to another Hadith narrated by the same Imam (a.s.): "The bearers of the Throne are eight". The Imam (a.s.) said: "Four of them are from among us and four whom Allah wills."
According to another version by the same Imam (a.s.): "The first four are Hazrat-i `Ali, Hazrat-i Fatimah and Hazrat-i Hasan and Hazrat-i Husayn, peace be upon them, and the second four are Salman, Miqdad, Abu Dharr and `Ammar."
O the pure souls of Khanah-yi Hikmat! Try to do arduous giryah-u zari collectively! Your Lord is the Causer of the causes. You are emphatically commanded to collectively do giryah-u zari.
