Ali’s (ع) name on top of the door of Paradise

Jabir ibn Abdullah narrates that the Messenger of Allah (ص) said:

﴿ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَی بَابِ الْـجَنَّةِ [لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ]، مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللهِ، عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخُو رَسُولِ اللهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَـخْلُقَ [اللهُ] السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ ﴾

"It was written on the door of heaven [There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, Ali ibn Abi Talib is the brother of the Messenger of Allah, two thousand years before Allah created the heavens and the earth"
