Hadith 15

(The book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – By his chain, from Abu Al Jaroud (Zaydiite chief) who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Do you-asws know of my cordiality for you-asws all, and my cutting off (from others) to you-asws and my-asws befriending you-asws? ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘Yes’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘I ask you-asws a question you-asws can answer me regarding it, for I am blinded of sight, little of walking. I am not able upon visiting you-asws every time’. He-asws said: ‘Give your need! ’
I said, ‘Inform me of your-asws religion which you-asws are making it a religion of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with it, you-asws and People-asws of your-asws Household, so I can (also) make it a religion of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with it’. He-asws said: ‘Even though you were brief in the speech but you have been mighty (in asking) of the question. By Allah-azwj, I-asws shall give you my-asws religion and religion of my-asws forefathers-asws which we-asws are making it a religion of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with it: Testimony that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and the acceptance with whatever has come from the Presence of Allah-azwj, and the friendship to our-asws friends, and the disavowing from our-asws enemies, and the submission to our-asws command, and awaiting our-asws Qaim-ajfj, and the striving (for good), and the devoutness (in your conduct/worship)’’.
