5ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلامٌ إِنَّ خَيْثَمَةَ ابْنَ أَبِي خَيْثَمَةَ يُحَدِّثُنَا عَنْكَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَكَ عَنِ الإسْلامِ فَقُلْتَ لَهُ إِنَّ الإسْلامَ مَنِ اسْتَقْبَلَ قِبْلَتَنَا وَشَهِدَ شَهَادَتَنَا وَنَسَكَ نُسُكَنَا وَوَالَى وَلِيَّنَا وَعَادَى عَدُوَّنَا فَهُوَ مُسْلِمٌ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ خَيْثَمَةُ قُلْتُ وَسَأَلَكَ عَنِ الإيمَانِ فَقُلْتَ الإيمَانُ بِالله وَالتَّصْدِيقُ بِكِتَابِ الله وَأَنْ لا يُعْصَى الله فَقَالَ صَدَقَ خَيْثَمَةُ.

Translation

5. From him from his father from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya ibn ‘Imran al- Halabi from Ayyub ibn al-Hurr from abu Basir who has said the following: “I was in the presence of abu Ja’far (a.s.) when Salam said, ‘Khaythamah ibn abu Khaythamah narrates to us from you that you were asked about Islam and you said, ‘Islam is this: Whoever faces our Qibla (direction of Makka), testifies to our testiment of belief, practices our practice, is a friend of our friend and an enemy of our enemies, he is a Muslim.’ The Imam said, ‘Khaythamah has told the truth. ’ 1 then said, ‘He had asked you about belief and you said, ‘It is belief in Allah, to acknowledge the book of Allah and not to disobey Allah.’ He said, ‘Khaythamah has told the truth.’”
