حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن أبيه، عن خلف بن حماد، عن أبي الحسن العبدي، عن الأعمش عن عباية الأسدي، عن ابن عباس أنه قال: ستكون فتنة فإن أدركها أحد منكم فعليه بخصلتين: كتاب الله، وعلي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام. فإني سمعت نبي الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول - و هو آخذ بيد علي عليه السلام -: هذا أول من آمن بي، وأول من يصافحني يوم القيامة، و هو فاروق هذه الأمة يفرق بين الحق والباطل، وهو يعسوب المؤمنين والمال يعسوب الظلمة، وإنه لهو الصديق الأكبر، وهو بابي الذي أوتى منه، وهو خليفتي من بعدي.
64.	We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Khalid, from his father, from Khalaf bin Hammad, from Abu’l-Hasan al-‘Abdi, from al-A’mash, from ‘Abaya al-Asadi, from Ibn Abbas, that he said: There will be a tribulation. Hence, if one of you observes it, it is upon him (to adhere to) two virtues: The Book of Allah, and Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, for indeed, I heard the Prophet of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, say, while he had held the hand of Ali, peace be upon him: He is the first to have believed in me, and the first to handshake me on the Day of Resurrection. He is the Divider [1] of this nation, who divides  between truth and falsehood. He is the Leader of the Believers, and property is the leader of oppressors. He is, indeed, the Greater Truthful , and he is my Door through I am approached, and he is my Successor after me.
