'''Al-Shahāda al-Thālitha''' (Arabic: {{ia|الشَهادَة الثالِثة}}) or the '''Third Testimony''' is to testify or witness the [[wilaya]] of [['Ali (a)]]. It is recited after testifying the oneness of God and the prophethood of [[the Prophet Muhammad (s)]] as follows: "I bear witness that 'Ali is the wali of [[Allah]]" ({{ia| أشهَدُ أَنّ عَلیاً ولی‌ُّالله}}) or "I bear witness that 'Ali is the proof of Allah" ({{ia|أشهَدُ أَنّ عَلیاً حُجَّةُ الله}}).

According to some [[hadiths]], whenever one bears witness to [[monotheism]] and the [[prophethood]] of Muhammad (s), one should bear witness to the wilaya of 'Ali b. Abi Talib (a) as well. The main issue about the Third Testimony concerns [[adhan]] and [[iqama]]. In Shiite sources of [[fiqh]] and hadith, the Third Testimony is not considered as part of adhan or iqama. According to the majority of Shiite [[fuqaha]], this phrase is not part of adhan or iqama, but it is [[mustahab]] or permissible to recite it with the intention of proximity to God in a way that it is known that the phrase is not part of adhan or iqama.
