وروي أن الصادق عليه السلام قال: من ولد في الاسلام فهو عربي، ومن دخل فيه بعدما كبر فهو مهاجر، ومن سبي واعتق فهو مولى ومولى القوم من أنفسهم.
3.	It has been narrated that al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, said: The one who is born in (the fold of) Islam, is an Arab, and the one who enters into it after having grown up, is a migrant, and the one who was taken as a captive (of war) and was liberated (from slavery), he is a mawla. The mawla of a people is from themselves.
