518. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Sallar Abu Umrat, from Abu Maryam Al-Saqafy, from Ammar Bin Yasser who said
Whilst I was in the presence of the Rasool Allah (saww), when the Rasool Allah (saww) said that: ‘The Shites,the special ones, the sincere ones are from us (asws) the People (asws) of the Household’. So Umar said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), introduce them until we recognise them’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘I (saww) am not saying to you except that I (saww) want to inform you’. Then the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘I (saww) am the Guide to Allah (azwj) and Ali (asws) is the support of the Religion, and its beacons are the People (asws) of the Household, and they (asws) are the Lights of the Religion by whom (asws) it is illuminated’. So Umar said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), so the one whose heart is not compatible with this?’ So the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘The heart has not been placed in that place except that it is either compatible with it or it is opposed to it. So the one whose heart is compatible with us (asws) the People (asws) of the Household, would be the saved one, and the one whose heart was opposed to us (asws) the People (asws) of the Household, would be destroyed’.
مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَلَّارٍ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ قَالَ
بَيْنَا أَنَا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنَّ الشِّيعَةَ الْخَاصَّةَ الْخَالِصَةَ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَرِّفْنَاهُمْ حَتَّى نَعْرِفَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ إِلَّا وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخْبِرَكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَا الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عَلِيٌّ نَصْرُ الدِّينِ وَ مَنَارُهُ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَ هُمُ الْمَصَابِيحُ الَّذِينَ يُسْتَضَاءُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُوَافِقاً لِهَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا وُضِعَ الْقَلْبُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ إِلَّا لِيُوَافِقَ أَوْ لِيُخَالِفَ فَمَنْ كَانَ قَلْبُهُ مُوَافِقاً لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ كَانَ نَاجِياً وَ مَنْ كَانَ قَلْبُهُ مُخَالِفاً لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ كَانَ هَالِكاً.
