1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْمِلَلِ وَلا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَةُ أَهْلِ الذِّمَّةِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
