1. We were told by Ahmad bin Ziyad bin Ja’far al-Hamdani, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ali ibn Ibrahim bin Hashim, from his father, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Muhammed bin Hamran, from his father, from Abu Ja’far, Muhammed bin Ali al-Baqir, peace be upon them, that he said: There are three things from the acts of the Jahiliya: pride in lineage, vilification due to status and seeking rain through anwaa’.
