5ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ هُوَ عَيْنُهُ وَمِرْآتُهُ وَدَلِيلُهُ لا يَخُونُهُ وَلا يَخْدَعُهُ وَلا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلا يَكْذِبُهُ وَلا يَغْتَابُهُ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn abu Najran from Muthanna al-Hannat from al-Harith ibn al- Mughirah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘A Muslim is the brother (in belief) of a Muslim, he is his eyes, his mirror and his guide. He does not violate his trust, does not deceive him, does not do injustice to him, does not call him a liar and does not speak ill behind his back.’”
