Arabic text

حدثنا شيخنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: سمعت سعد بن عبد الله يقول: ما رأينا ولا سمعنا بمتشيع رجع عن التشيع إلى النصب إلا أحمد بن هلال، وكانوا يقولون: إن ما تفرد بروايته أحمد بن هلال فلا يجوز استعماله، وقد علمنا أن النبي والأئمة صلوات الله عليهم لا يشفعون إلا لمن ارتضى الله دينه. والشاك في الامام على غير دين الله، وقد ذكر موسى جعفر عليهما السلام أنه سيستوهبه من ربه يوم القيامة.

Translation

Our shaykh Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. al-Walid – may Allah be pleased with him – narrated to us, who said: I heard Sa'd b. Abd Allah say: “We have neither seen nor heard of any Shi'i who reverted from Shi'ism to hostility (nasb) except Ahmad b. Hilal. They used to say: Whatever is uniquely narrated by Ahmad b. Hilal must not be relied upon. And we know that the Prophet and the Imams do not intercede except on behalf of those whose religion Allah is pleased with. And the one who doubts the Imam is not upon the religion of Allah. And Musa b. Ja'far said that he will ask his Lord to grant him (Ahmad b. Hilal) as a gift on the Day of Resurrection.”
