Arabic text

حدثنا أبي، ومحمد بن الحسن - رضي الله عنهما - قالا: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، قال: حدثنا أبو القاسم عبد الرحمن الكوفي، وأبو يوسف يعقوب ابن يزيد الأنباري الكاتب، عن أبي محمد عبد الله بن محمد الغفاري، عن الحسين بن (ي‍) زيد، عن الصادق أبي عبد الله جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من أحبنا أهل البيت فليحمد الله تعالى على أول النعم. قيل: وما أول النعم؟ قال: طيب الولادة ولا يحبنا إلا من طابت ولادته ولا يبغضنا إلا من خبثت ولادته.

Translation

1. We were told by my father, and Muhammed bin Hasan, may Allah be pleased with them both, that they both said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Khalid, that he said: We were told by Abu’l-Qasim, Abdul-Rahman al-Kufi, and Abu Yusuf, Ya’qoub ibn Yazid al-Anbari, the Writer, of Abu Muhammed, Abdullah bin Muhammed al-Ghifari, from Hussain bin Yazid, from al-Sadiq, Abu Abdillah, Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, from his fathers, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: The one who loves us, the Household, let him praise Allah, Exalted is He, for the first of graces. It was said: And what is the first of graces? He said: Having a good birth. None loves us except for the one whose birth is good, and none hates us except for the one whose birth is wicked.
