1. Hadith / tradition attributed to the Leader of the faithful / Amir al-Mumineen-in, peace upon him, says [1]: "When the situation is like this, then gets up the ya'sûb[1], and people gather around him as the bits of a rainy cloud gather during the autumn."
 
2. Khutba 316:
Amir al-Mumineen, peace be upon him! said: I am the ya'sûb (queen bee, the leader) believers, and follow wealth is the ya'sûb (the leader) of the sinful.
As-Sayyid AR-Radi says, it means: "The faithful follow me while follow corrupt follow wealth, just as the bees follow their queen," the ya'sûb ", which is their leader [2].



[1] the leader. "Ya'sûb" is the name for the queen-bee, and the saying of Amir al-Mumineen reads: «fa idhâ kânâ dhâlika daraba ya'sûb-u'd-dîn bî dhanabihî«. Word "daraba", meaning to kick, hit, etc.; "ya'sûb u'd-din" means "the head of religion and Sharia" and "dhanab" means: tail end, supporter or follower.
 
In this hadith "ya'sûb-u'ddîn" refers to the present Imaam (al-Imam al-Mahdi), although this title was given by the Holy Prophet especially to Amir al-Mumineen, in the words "O 'Ali, you are the ya'sûb (bead) of the faithful, while the the wealth is ya'sûb of hypocrites ".
