Whoever wishes to meet us should strive to emulate our actions and words. For every house has some generous and noble people. Intercession (Shafa'at) is surely there for our friends. Hence strive to meet us there. For we shall shun away our enemies from there and give our friends to drink from it. And whoever drinks a sip from that blessed water will never become thirsty.
It is written in the Sahih of Bukhari that when some of the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) will be removed from the Kausar, the Prophet (peace be upon him and his household) will say, "O my Lord! these are my companions Allah will reply, "You do not know what they did after you.

Ali (A.S) will be the Distributor of Heaven & hell (Kaseemill Jannate wan Naar).
The gate-keeper of Paradise (Rizwan) will bring the keys of Paradise and hand them over to me. Likewise the Keeper of hell (Malik) will also come and hand over the keys of hell to me. Then 1 in turn will give the keys to Ali the son of Abu Talib (A.S) [O Ali ! You are the distributor of Paradise and hell -Holy Prophet]. And at that time Paradise and hell will be obedient to me as a bride is to her groom. And this is the interpretation of the Verse (Ayah): ﴾Do cast into hell every ungrateful., rebellious one﴿. (Surah al-Qaf: 24).
