1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Muhammad b. al-Hussain from Ibn Fadhal from Muawiyah b. Wahab from Abi Salam from Sawrah b. Kulayb from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said
The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) about the verse, “On the Day of Judgment you will see the faces of those who associated lie with Allah to be black.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “This verse is for one who claims to be an Imam while he is not.” The narrator asked, “Is it so even if he is Alawi and Fatimi?” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Yes, even if he is Alawi and Fatimi.”
أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَیْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِیَهَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِی سَلَّامٍ عَنْ سَوْرَهَ بْنِ کُلَیْبٍ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ
قُلْتُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ یَوْمَ الْقِیامَهِ تَرَی الَّذِینَ کَذَبُوا عَلَی اللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُسْوَدَّهٌ قَالَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ إِمَامٌ وَ لَیْسَ بِإِمَامٍ قُلْتُ وَ إِنْ کَانَ عَلَوِیّاً فَاطِمِیّاً قَالَ وَ إِنْ کَانَ عَلَوِیّاً فَاطِمِیّاً.
