If Shi’ah is refined only words remain

290. And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Ibrahim Bin Abdullah Al-Sufy from Musa Bin Bakr Al-Wasity who said: Abu Al-Hassan عليه الصلاة والسلام said to me: ‘If I عليه الصلاة والسلام were to distinguish my عليه الصلاة والسلام Shites, I عليه الصلاة والسلام would not find them except for the description (talk). And if I عليه الصلاة والسلام were to test them, I عليه الصلاة والسلام would not find them except as apostates. And if I عليه الصلاة والسلام were to scrutinise them not even one out of a thousand would escape. And if I عليه الصلاة والسلام were to screen them with a screening, there would not remain from them except the one who was for me عليه الصلاة والسلام. They have been saying for a long time, leaning upon their couches, ‘We are the Shites of Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام’. But rather, the Shiite of Ali عليه الصلاة والسلام is the one who truthful in both his actions as well as his words’.
