سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنِ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ فَقَالَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الْوَلَايَةِ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّ وَلَايَةٍ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِالْوَلَايَةِ فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَكِنَّهَا الْوَلَايَةُ فِي الْمُنَاكَحَةِ وَ الْمُوَارَثَةِ وَ الْمُخَالَطَةِ وَ هُمْ لَيْسُوا بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَا بِالْكُفَّارِ وَ مِنْهُمُ الْمُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .
Translation
From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Umar Bin Aban who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the weak ones (of understanding). So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘They are the people of Al-Wilayah’. So I said, ‘Which Wilayah?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But these are not with a Wilayah in the Religion, but it is the Wilayah (Guardianship) regarding the marriages, and the inheritances, and the inter-mingling, and they are neither with the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> nor with the Kuffar (Unbelievers), and among them are the ones hopeful for the Command (Mercy) of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’.
