The Believer’s Mutual Brotherhood

7. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah from certain individuals of his people from Muhammad ibn al- Husayn from Muhammad ibn Fudayl from abu Hamza who has said the following: “I heard abu Ja’far عليه السلام say, ‘The believer is the brother (in belief) of the believer from his father and mother; Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has created believers from the clay of paradise and has made the fragrance of paradise flow in their forms; thus, they are brothers from father and mother.’”
