3 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسن علي بن بلال المهلبي قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن راشد الإصفهاني قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن محمد الثقفي قال: أخبرنا إسماعيل بن صبيح قال: حدثنا سالم بن أبي سالم المصري ، عن أبي هارون العبدي قال: كنت أرى رأي الخوارج لا رأي لي غيره حتى جلست إلى أبي سعيد الخدري رحمه الله فسمعته يقول: أمر الناس بخمس، فعملوا بأربع وتركوا واحدة، فقال له رجل: يا أبا سعيد ما هذه الأربع التي عملوا بها؟ قال: الصلاة، والزكاة والحج، وصوم شهر رمضان. قال: فما الواحدة التي تركوها؟ قال: ولاية علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام، قال الرجل: وإنها المفترضة معهن؟ قال أبو سعيد: نعم ورب الكعبة، قال الرجل: فقد كفر الناس إذن! قال أبو سعيد: فما ذنبي؟.
3. He said: Abul Hasan ‘Ali ibn Bilal al-Mahalabi reported to me from Abdullah ibn Rashid al-Ishfahani, who reported from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Thaqafi, who reported from Ismail ibn Subayh, who reported from Salim ibn Abu Salim al-Misri, from Abu Haroon al-Abdi who said: I held the opinion of the al-Khawarij, accepting nothing else. Then one day, I sat at Abu Saeed al-Khudari - may Allah bless him with mercy, and heard him say: "People were ordered to do five things and they performed four out of them, leaving the fifth." A man asked: "O Abu Saeed, which are the four things they performed?" He said: "The daily prayers, the zakat (alms giving), the Hajj and fasting during the month of Ramadhan." He asked: "And which one did they leave out?" He said: "The wilayah of ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him." The man asked: "Was it made obligatory with the first four?" Abu Saeed said: "Yes, by the Lord of Ka’bah!" The man said: "In that case, the people have indeed transgressed!" Abu Saeed said: "What is my fault?"
