عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُحِبُّنَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ إِلَّا أَهْلُ الْبُيُوتَاتِ وَ الشَّرَفِ وَ الْمَعْدِنِ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُنَا مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَّا كُلُّ دَنَسٍ مُلْصَقٍ.
497. Ali Bin Ibrahiim, from his father, from Hammaad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام has said; ‘By Allah عز وجل! No one from the Arabs or the non-Arabs loves us عليه الصلاة والسلام except the people of noble houses, and the (noble) origins; and no one from these ones and those ones hates us عليه الصلاة والسلام except for all the filthy ones and of illegitimate origin’.
