حدثنا أبي رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن ابن أبي نجران، قال: سمعت أبا الحسن (عليه السلام) يقول: من عادى شيعتنا فقد عادانا ومن والاهم فقد والانا لأنهم منا خلقوا من طينتنا من أحبهم فهو منا ومن أبغضهم فليس منا شيعتنا ينظرون بنور الله ويتقلبون في رحمة الله ويفوزون بكرامة الله ما من أحد من شيعتنا يمرض إلا مرضنا لمرضه ولا يغتم إلا اغتممنا لغمه ولا يفرح إلا فرحنا لفرحه ولا يغيب عنا أحد من شيعتنا أين كان في شرق الأرض وغربها. ومن ترك من شيعتنا ديناً فهو علينا ومن ترك منهم مالاً فالورثة شيعتنا الذين يقيمون الصلاة ويؤتون الزكاة ويحجون البيت الحرام ويصومون شهر رمضان ويوالون أهل البيت ويبرؤون من أعدائنا أولئك أهل الإيمان والتقى وأهل الورع والتقوى من رد عليهم فقد رد على الله ومن طعن عليهم فقد طعن على الله لأنهم عباد الله حقاً وأوليائه صدقاً والله إن أحدهم ليشفع في مثل ربيعة ومضر فيشفعه الله فيهم لكرامته على الله عز وجل.
My father (rh) narrated to us, saying that ʿAbd Allāh b. Jaʿfar (al-Ḥimyarī) narrated to him among others, from Aḥmad b. Muḥammad (b. ʿĪsā), from Ibn Abī Najrān, who said: “I heard Abā’l-Ḥasan (al-Riḍā, (as)) saying: “Whoever antagonises our Shīʿa has antagonised us, and whoever befriends our Shīʿa has befriended us. That is because they were created from us, from our clay, and so whoever loves them is from us, and whoever detests them is not. Our Shīʿa perceive with the light of Allāh, and reside in the mercy of Allāh, and triumph through the honours bestowed by Allāh. There is not a single one of our Shīʿa who becomes convalescent except that we become likewise for the sake of his illness, nor one who becomes despondent except that we feel likewise for the sake of his depression, nor one who becomes joyful except that we feel likewise for the sake of his happiness. There is not a single one of our Shīʿa who effectively disappears from our sight, whether they be in the Eastern reaches of the earth, or its West. None of our Shīʿa leave behind a debt to be paid except that its payment is upon us, nor one who leaves behind wealth except that it goes to its rightful inheritors. Our Shīʿa are those who perform the prayer and defray the alms-tax, embark on the pilgrimage to the Sacred House and fast in the month of Ramaḍān. They are partisans of the people of the House (of Muḥammad, (sawa)) and they disavow our enemies—it is these who are the people of belief and piety, active spiritual self-vigilance and righteousness. Whoever stands against them is standing against Allāh, and whoever vilifies them has vilified Allāh, because they are Allāh’s true servants and His sincere allies. By Allāh! Were a single one of them to intercede for as many people as there are in the tribes of Rabīʿa and Muḍar combined, Allāh will accept his intercession, for his honour is upon Allāh (azwj).”
