1. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Salam bin Khattab, from Ali ibn Muhammed al-Ash’ath, from Dahqan, from Ahmad bin Yazid, from Ali bin Ja’far, from his brother, Musa ibn Ja’far, peace be upon them both, that he said: Our Shi’a are only the cores, the nobles, the people of cottage and those of good birth. Ali bin Ja’far said: So I asked him about the interpretation of that, and he said: The cores are from Quraish, the nobles are from the Arabs, the people of cottages are from the Muwali [1] and those with good birth from among the mass.
IsnādAbu - qu'Allah lui fasse miséricorde - a dit: nous a informés Sa'd ibn Abdullah, de Salama ibn al-Khattab, d'Ali ibn Muhammad al-Ach'ath, d'Al-Dahqan, d'Ahmad ibn Yazid, d'Ali ibn Ja'far, de son frère Musa ibn Ja'far - que la paix soit sur eux - a dit:
Nos partisans sont les gens de la noblesse, les nobles et les gens des maisons, et ceux dont la naissance est pure. Ali ibn Ja'far a dit: Je lui ai demandé de clarifier cela, il a dit: Les gens de la noblesse sont de Quraysh, les nobles sont parmi les Arabes, les gens des maisons sont les partisans, et ceux dont la naissance est pure sont parmi les gens du Sawaad.
