8ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ بُنِيَ الإسْلامُ عَلَى خَمْسٍ الصَّلاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ وَالصَّوْمِ وَالْحَجِّ وَالْوَلايَةِ وَلَمْ يُنَادَ بِشَيْءٍ مَا نُودِيَ بِالْوَلايَةِ يَوْمَ الْغَدِيرِ.
8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Salih ibn al-Sindy from Ja’far ibn Bashir from Aban from Fudayl from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far عليه السلام has said, ‘Islam is based on five principles: The prayer, al-Zakat (charity), fasting, al-Hajj and al-Wilayah. The call to no one of the other principles has been so emphatic as it was for al-Wilayah on the day of al-Ghadir (name of a place between Makka and Madina.)”’
