أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُوسَی بْنِ سَعِیدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قَاسِمِ الْحَضْرَمِیِّ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَکَ وَ تَعَالَی جَعَلَ عَلِیّاً ع عَلَماً بَیْنَهُ وَ بَیْنَ خَلْقِهِ لَیْسَ بَیْنَهُمْ وَ بَیْنَهُ عَلَمٌ غَیْرُهُ فَمَنْ تَبِعَهُ کَانَ مُؤْمِناً وَ مَنْ جَحَدَهُ کَانَ کَافِراً وَ مَنْ شَکَّ فِیهِ کَانَ مُشْرِکاً.
