23- حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ كَرِبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ رَايَةً مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهَا مَرَقَ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهَا مَحَقَ وَ مَنْ تَبِعَهَا لَحِقَ.
23 - Narrated to us my father: Narrated to us Ali bin Ibrahim from his father from Muhammad bin Abi Umair from Amr bin Abil Miqdam from his father from Ubaid bin Karb that he said: I heard Ali عليه السلام say:
“There is a flag for us; and one who goes ahead of it is a transgressor and one who lags behind it, is destroyed and one who follows it would achieve the truth.”
