١٢ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَحَبَّ رَجُلاً لله لأثَابَهُ الله عَلَى حُبِّهِ إِيَّاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمَحْبُوبُ فِي عِلْمِ الله مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَبْغَضَ رَجُلاً لله لأثَابَهُ الله عَلَى بُغْضِهِ إِيَّاهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ الْمُبْغَضُ فِي عِلْمِ الله مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ.
12. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from abu Ali al-Wasiti from al-Husayn ibn Aban from those whom he has mentioned (in his book) from abu Ja’far  who has said the following: “If a man loves another man just for the sake of Allah, Allah will give him good rewards for his loving him, even if that man is of the people of the fire, in the knowledge of Allah. If a man hates another man just for the sake of Allah, Allah will give him good reward for his hating him, even if that man is of the people of paradise, in the knowledge of Allah.”
