حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّائِغُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسْلِيِّ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ص يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَبَدَ أَبِي وَ لَا جَدِّي عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ لَا هَاشِمٌ وَ لَا عَبْدُ مَنَافٍ صَنَماً قَطُّ قِيلَ لَهُ فَمَا كَانُوا يَعْبُدُونَ قَالَ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ عَلَى دِينِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عليه السلام مُتَمَسِّكِينَ بِهِ.
Narrated to us Ahmad bin Muhammad as-Saigh that he said: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Ayyub from Salih bin Asbat from Ismail bin Muhammad; and Ali bin Abdullah from Rabi bin Muhammad Musalli from Saad bin Tareef from Asbagh bin Nubatah that he said: I heard Amirul Momineen عليه السلام say:
“By Allah, my father, my grandfather Abdul Muttalib, Hashim and Abde Manaf never worshipped idols. He was asked: Then what did they worship? He replied: They used to face the Kaaba and pray according to the religion of Ibrahim عليه السلام and they followed only that faith.”
