يَا مَعْشَرَ الشِّيعَةِ شِيعَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كُونُوا النُّمْرُقَةَ الْوُسْطَى يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكُمُ الْغَالِي وَ يَلْحَقُ بِكُمُ التَّالِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَعْدٌ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا الْغَالِي قَالَ قَوْمٌ يَقُولُونَ فِينَا مَا لَا نَقُولُهُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا فَلَيْسَ أُولَئِكَ مِنَّا وَ لَسْنَا مِنْهُمْ قَالَ فَمَا التَّالِي قَالَ الْمُرْتَادُ يُرِيدُ الْخَيْرَ يُبَلِّغُهُ الْخَيْرَ يُؤْجَرُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا مَعَنَا مِنَ اللَّهِ بَرَاءَةٌ وَ لَا بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ قَرَابَةٌ وَ لَا لَنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ حُجَّةٌ وَ لَا نَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِالطَّاعَةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مُطِيعاً لِلَّهِ تَنْفَعُهُ وَلَايَتُنَا وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ عَاصِياً لِلَّهِ لَمْ تَنْفَعْهُ وَلَايَتُنَا وَيْحَكُمْ لَا تَغْتَرُّوا وَيْحَكُمْ لَا تَغْتَرُّوا .
Translation
Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from one of his companions, from Aban, from Amro Bin Khalid, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘O group of Shia, the Shia of the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>! Take a central position. The exaggerator would return to you and the ‘Ta’aly’ would catch up with you’. So a man from the Helpers called Sa’ad, said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! What is the exaggerator?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘People who are saying regarding us<sup>asws</sup> (that which) we<sup>asws</sup> are not saying regarding ourselves<sup>asws</sup>. So those are not from us<sup>asws</sup> and we<sup>asws</sup> are not from them’. He said, ‘So what is the ‘Ta’aly’?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The apostate indenting the goodness. The goodness reaches him and he is Recompensed upon it’. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> turned to face us and he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! There is no freedom (from the Fire) with us<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> from Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, nor is there between us<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> and Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> a relationship, nor is there an argument for us<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> against Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, nor do we<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> get closer to Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> except by obedience. So the one from you who was obedient to Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, our<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Wilayah would benefit him, and the one from you who was disobedient to Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, our<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Wilayah would not benefit him. Woe be unto you! Do not be decieved. Woe be unto you! Do not be deceived’.
