8ـ سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ يُونُسَ بْنَ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ سِنَانِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ قَالَ إِنَّا أَوَّلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ نَوَّهَ الله بِأَسْمَائِنَا إِنَّهُ لَمَّا خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالارْضَ أَمَرَ مُنَادِياً فَنَادَى أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله ثَلاثاً أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ الله ثَلاثاً أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً ثَلاثاً.
8. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Walid who has said that he heard Yunus ibn Ya‘qub narrate from Sinan ibn Turayf who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام say ‘We are the first family whose names Allah has exalted. When He created the heavens and earth He commanded an announcer to proclaim three times, “I testify that no one other than Allah deserves to be worshipped, I testify that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, three times, and that Ali is Amir al-Mu’minin Ali عليه السلام (Leader with Divine Authority) in all truth, three times.”
