31-1 My father and Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn al-Waleed - may God be pleased with them - quoted on the authority of Sa’ad ibn Abdullah and Ja’far al-Hemyari, on the authority of Ibrahim ibn Hashem, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Al-Jahm that he had heard Abal Hassan Ali ibn Musa (Imam) Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) say, “
Everyone’s friend is his intellect and everyone’s enemy is his ignorance.”
1 - حَدَّثَنا أَبي وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِالوَلِيدِ - رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُما ما قالا: حَدَّثَنا سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّه وَعَبْدُاللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الحِمْيَريُّ قالا: حَدَّثَنا إِبْراهيمُ بْنُ هاشِمٍ، عَنِ الحَسَنِ ابْنِ الجَهْمِ، قالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الحَسَنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضاعَلَيْهِمَا السَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: صَدِيقُ كُلِّ امْرِ عَقْلُهُ وَعَدُوُّهُ جَهْلُهُ.
