40 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قادة القاسِم المَعْرُوف بِأَبِي الحَسَن المفسر الجرجانِي رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ يُوسُف بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِياد وَعَلِىِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدبن سيار، عَن أَبُويهما عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ الحُسَيْن بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ أَبِي طالِب، عَن آبائِهِ‏ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلاَمُ قالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَحِبَّ فِي اللَّهِ وَأَبْغِضْ فِي اللَّهِ وَوَالِ فِي اللَّهِ وَعَادِ فِي اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لا تَنَالُ وَلايَةَ اللَّهِ إِلا بِذَلِكَ وَلا يَجِدُ رَجُلٌ طَعْمَ الإِيمَانِ وَإِنْ كَثُرَتْ صَلاتُهُ وَصِيَامُهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ كَذَلِكَ وَقَدْ صَارَتْ مُؤَاخَاةُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَكُمْ هَذَا أَكْثَرُهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْهَا يَتَوَادُّونَ وَعَلَيْهَا يَتَبَاغَضُونَ وَذَلِكَ لا يُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لَهُ وَكَيْفَ لِي أَنْ أَعْلَمَ أَنِّي قَدْ وَالَيْتُ وَعَادَيْتُ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَنْ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَتَّى أُوَالِيَهُ وَمَنْ عَدُوُّهُ حَتَّى أُعَادِيَهُ فَأَشَارَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ إِلَى عَلِيٍ‏ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَقَالَ: أَتَرَى هَذَا فَقَالَ بَلَى قَالَ وَلِيُّ هَذَا وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ فَوَالِهِ وَعَدُوُّ هَذَا عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ فَعَادِهِ قَالَ وَالِ وَلِيَّ هَذَا وَلَوْ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلُ أَبِيكَ وَوُلْدِكَ وَعَادِ عَدُوَهَذَا وَلَوْ أَنَّهُ أَبُوكَ أَوْ وُلْدُكَ.

Translation

28-40 The interpreter, Muhammad ibn Al-Qasim known as Abil Hassan al-Jurjani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Yusuf ibn Muhammad ibn Ziyad and Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Sayyar quoted on the authority of their fathers, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (s), on the authority of his forefathers (s) that one day God’s Prophet (s) told one of his companions, “O servant of God! Love for the sake of God and hate for the sake of God. Be friends for the sake of God and be enemies for the sake of God. That is because you cannot achieve God’s Mastery over you in any other way. No one will experience the true feeling of faith unless he does so - even if he prays and fasts a lot. Nowadays, most of the friendships and animosities of the worldlings are for the sake of this world. They like each other for it and they hate each other for it. However, this will not benefit them.” That man asked, “How could I tell whether my liking and my animosity are for the sake of God or not? Who is God’s Friend so that I may be friends with him. Who are God’s enemies so that I may be their enemy?” God’s Prophet (s) then pointed at Ali (s) and said, “Do you see him?” The man said, “Yes.” The Prophet (s) said, “This is God’s Friend! Whoever loves him is God’s friend and whoever is his enemy is God’s enemy. Therefore, love Ali (s). Be the enemy of Ali’s enemies and be the friend of Ali’s friends. Be the friend of Ali’s friend - even if Ali’s friend may have killed your father or your son. Be the enemy of Ali’s enemy - even if he may be your father or your son.”
