Hadith 8
۞
My father, Allah have mercy upon him, related to us from Ali bin Ibrahim from his father from Ali bin Ma'bad from al-Hussein bin Khalid that Abu al-Hasan ar-Rida (a.s.) said
Our (true) Shia are those who submit to our orders, carry out our directives, and dissent from our enemies. He who is not as such is not one of us.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ اَلرِّضَا ع قَالَ
شِيعَتُنَا اَلْمُسَلِّمُونَ لِأَمْرِنَا اَلْآخِذُونَ بِقَوْلِنَا اَلْمُخَالِفُونَ لِأَعْدَائِنَا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ كَذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا.
