287. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from jahm Bin Abu Juheyma, who has narrated the following: A slave of Abu Al-Hassan  has said, ‘In the presence of Abu Al-Hassan Al-Musa  was a man from Qureysh, who went on to mention the Qureysh and the Arabs. Abu Al-Hassan  said during that; ‘Leave that! These people are three (types) – Arabs, and ‘مَوْلًى’ friends and faithless. So we  are the Arabs, and our  Shites are the friends, and the one who is not upon the like of what we are on, so he is faithless’. So the Qureyshi said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan ! You  are saying this, so where are the prided ones of Qureysh and the Arabs?’ So Abu Al-Hassan  said: ‘It is how I  have said it to you’.
