4ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَا أَنْتُمْ وَالْبَرَاءَةَ يَبْرَأُ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَبَعْضُهُمْ أَكْثَرُ صَلاةً مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَبَعْضُهُمْ أَنْفَذُ بَصَراً مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَهِيَ الدَّرَجَاتُ.

Translation

4. It is narrated from him (Muhammad ibn Yahya) from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Muhammad ibn Sinan from al-Sabah ibn Siyabah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “What is this disavowing and disassociation of yours? There are those of you who renounce the others. Among the believers there are those who are better than others. Among them there are those who pray more, and others are of shaip insight. Such are the degrees of belief.”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
