سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ كَرَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَرَرْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَلَى الشِّيعَةِ وَ هُمْ مَا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) شِيعَتُكَ وَ مَوَالِيكَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ أَيْنَ هُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَرَاهُمْ مَا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ بِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَذَهَبَ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ رِيحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ فَأَعِينُوا مَعَ هَذَا بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ إِنَّهُ لَا يُنَالُ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ وَ إِذَا ائْتَمَمْتُمْ بِعَبْدٍ فَاقْتَدُوا بِهِ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَعَلَى دِينِي وَ دِينِ آبَائِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى دِينِ أُولَئِكَ فَأَعِينُوا عَلَى هَذَا بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ.

328. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Karraam, from Abu Al-Saamat, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah having said: ‘I and Abu Ja’far passed by the Shites whilst they were in between the Grave and the Pulpit (of the Rasool Allah ﷺ). So I said to Abu Ja’far : ‘May I be sacrificed for you , these are your Shites and your friends’. He said: ‘Where are they?’ I said: ‘In between the Grave and the Pulpit’. He said: ‘So come with me to them’. So he went and greeted them, then said: ‘I love your aromas, and your souls, so support this with piety and struggle. What is with Allah (azwj) cannot be achieved except by piety and struggle, and if you follow a servant (an Imam ), so follow him (emulate his deeds). But, by Allah (azwj), all of you are upon my Religion, and the Religion of my forefather Ibrahim and Ismail , and if these were upon a Religion so they supported this by piety and struggle’.
