"مَنْ طَلَبَ الْعِلْمَ لِلدُّنْيَا وَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ وَ الْحُظْوَةِ عِنْدَ السُّلْطَانِ لَمْ يُصِبْ مِنْهُ بَاباً إِلَّا ازْدَادَ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَظَمَةً وَ عَلَى النَّاسِ اسْتِطَالَةً وَ بِاللَّهِ اغْتِرَاراً وَ مِنَ الدِّينِ جَفَاءً فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي لَا يَنْتَفِعُ بِالْعِلْمِ."

Ali narrated from Muhammad ibn Isa, from Yunus, from Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl, who said:

"I asked him about the best thing by which servants draw near to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.

He said: 'The best thing by which servants draw near to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is obedience to Allah, obedience to His Messenger, and obedience to those vested with authority.'"

Abu Ja'far (peace be upon him) said: "Loving us is faith, and hating us is disbelief [kufr]."

عَلِيٌّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ:

سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ الْعِبَادُ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

قَالَ: أَفْضَلُ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ الْعِبَادُ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ طَاعَةُ الله وَطَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ وَطَاعَةُ أُولِي الامْرِ،

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام): حُبُّنَا إِيمَانٌ وَبُغْضُنَا كُفْرٌ.

Ali ibn Ibrahim narrated from Salih ibn al-Sindi, from Ja'far ibn Bashir, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Abd Allah (peace be upon him), who said: I heard him say:

"We are those whose obedience Allah has made obligatory. People have no choice but to know us, and people are not excused for ignorance of us. Whoever knows us is a believer; whoever denies us is a disbeliever; and whoever neither knows us nor denies us is astray until he returns to the guidance that Allah has made obligatory upon him through obedience to us, which is mandatory. If he dies upon his misguidance, Allah will do with him whatever He wills."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ:

نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ فَرَضَ الله طَاعَتَنَا، لا يَسَعُ النَّاسَ إِلا مَعْرِفَتُنَا وَلا يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ بِجَهَالَتِنَا، مَنْ عَرَفَنَا كَانَ مُؤْمِناً، وَمَنْ أَنْكَرَنَا كَانَ كَافِراً، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْنَا وَلَمْ يُنْكِرْنَا كَانَ ضَالاً حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْهُدَى الَّذِي افْتَرَضَ الله عَلَيْهِ مِنْ طَاعَتِنَا الْوَاجِبَةِ فَإِنْ يَمُتْ عَلَى ضَلالَتِهِ يَفْعَلِ الله بِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ.

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from al-Husayn ibn Abi al-Ala', who said:

I mentioned to Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) our statement concerning the successors (awsiya'), that obedience to them is obligatory.

He said: He replied: "Yes. They are those about whom Allah, the Exalted, said: {Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger, and those vested with authority among you.}, and they are those about whom Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: {Your guardian is only Allah, His Messenger, and those who believe.}".

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلاءِ قَالَ:

ذَكَرْتُ لابِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَوْلَنَا فِي الاوْصِيَاءِ إِنَّ طَاعَتَهُمْ مُفْتَرَضَةٌ

قَالَ: فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ، هُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ الله تَعَالَى: {أَطِيعُوا الله وَأَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَأُولِي الامْرِ مِنْكُمْ} ، وَهُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ الله وَرَسُولُهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا}.

"كُلُّ دُعَاءٍ مَحْجُوبٌ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ."

Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Abi Umayr from Sayf ibn Amirah from Abu al-Sabbah al-Kinani, who said: Abu Abdillah (peace be upon him) said:

"We are a people whose obedience Allah, Mighty and Majestic, has made obligatory. The anfal belong to us, and the choicest wealth belongs to us. We are those firmly grounded in knowledge, and we are the ones envied, about whom Allah said: {Or do they envy the people for what Allah has given them of His bounty?}"

أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام):

نَحْنُ قَوْمٌ فَرَضَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ طَاعَتَنَا، لَنَا الانْفَالُ وَلَنَا صَفْوُ الْمَالِ وَنَحْنُ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ، وَنَحْنُ الْمَحْسُودُونَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ الله: {أَمْ يَحْسُدُونَ النَّاسَ عَلى‏ ما آتاهُمُ الله مِنْ فَضْلِهِ}.

Ali ibn Ibrahim from his father from Hammad ibn Isa from Hariz from Zurarah from Abu Ja'far (peace be upon him), who said:

"The highest point of the matter, its summit, its key, the gate of all things, and the pleasure of the Most Merciful, Blessed and Exalted, is obedience to the Imam after recognizing him,"

Then he said: "Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted, says: {Whoever obeys the Messenger has indeed obeyed Allah, and whoever turns away, then We have not sent you as a guardian over them}."

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ:

ذِرْوَةُ الامْرِ وَسَنَامُهُ وَمِفْتَاحُهُ وَبَابُ الاشْيَاءِ وَرِضَا الرَّحْمَنِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى الطَّاعَةُ لِلامَامِ بَعْدَ مَعْرِفَتِهِ،

ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطاعَ الله وَمَنْ تَوَلَّى فَما أَرْسَلْناكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً}.

"الْمُؤْمِنُ يَصْمُتُ لِيَسْلَمَ وَ يَنْطِقُ لِيَغْنَمَ."

Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Urama and Muhammad ibn Abdullah from Ali ibn Hassan from Abdul Rahman ibn Kathir from Abu Abd Allah (peace be upon him), who said: Abu Ja‘far (peace be upon him) said:

Abu Abd Allah al-Jadali entered upon the Commander of the Faithful, and he (peace be upon him) said: “O Abu Abd Allah, shall I inform you of the saying of Allah Almighty: {Whoever comes with a good deed will have better than it, and they will be secure from the terror of that Day ۝ And whoever comes with an evil deed, their faces will be thrown into the Fire. Will you be recompensed except for what you used to do}”

He said: “Yes, O Commander of the Faithful, may I be your ransom.”

So he said: “The good deed is the recognition of wilayah and love for us, the People of the Household [Ahlul Bayt]. And the evil deed is the denial of wilayah and hatred for us, the People of the Household.” Then he recited this verse to him.

الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام):

دَخَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله الْجَدَلِيُّ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام): يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الله أَلا أُخْبِرُكَ بِقَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْها وَهُمْ مِنْ فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ ۝ وَمَنْ جاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي النَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلا ما كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ}

قَالَ: بَلَى يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ،

فَقَالَ: الْحَسَنَةُ مَعْرِفَةُ الْوَلايَةِ وَحُبُّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَالسَّيِّئَةُ إِنْكَارُ الْوَلايَةِ وَبُغْضُنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الايَةَ.
