28-61 Ahmad ibn Ziyad ibn Ja’far al-Hamadani - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Ibrahim ibn Hashem quoted on the authority of his father, on the authority of Ali ibn Ma’bad, on the authority of Al-Hussein ibn Khalid, “I asked Abul Hassan Ali ibn Musa Al-Ridha صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم about the following Words of the Honorable the Exalted God, ‘We did indeed offer the Trust to the Heavens and the Earth and the Mountains; but they refused to undertake it, being afraid thereof: but man undertook it;- He was indeed unjust and foolish.’“ The Imam صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم said, “The Trust is the same as the Mastery. Whoever makes a false claim of Mastery is an unbeliever.”
