Peace be upon you. The one who is superior after the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) is Imam Ali (peace be upon him). This can be supported by several arguments, including: First, the verse of Mubahala, which equates Ali (peace be upon him) with the Messenger of Allah, as stated in the verse (And our souls and your souls). The Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) brought Ali with him during that Mubahala, and it is clear that the noble Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) is superior to all other prophets. Therefore, Ali (peace be upon him), who is the same as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family), must be superior to all other prophets. Second, there is a narration from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his family) stating: 'Whoever wants to see Adam in his knowledge, Noah in his understanding, Abraham in his forbearance, Yahya ibn Zakariya in his asceticism, and Moses ibn Imran in his strength, let him look at Ali ibn Abi Talib.' This narration indicates the superiority of the Commander of the Faithful (peace be upon him) over the previous prophets, as he possesses the combined virtues that are scattered among them. A person who embodies all these virtues is indeed superior to those who possess them separately. And there are other arguments as well. May you be successful in all good.
