4. Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan ibn Aĥmad ibn Walǐd narrated to me from Muĥammad ibn Ĥasan Al-Šaffār, from Aĥmad ibn Muĥammad ibn ‘Isā, from Ĥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Faďďāl, from Tha’labah ibn Maymūn, from Sulaymān ibn Hārūn Al-‘Ijli, who said: I heard Abā ‘Abdillāh (Imam Šādiq ) say, “I do not foresee any (newborn baby) whose mouth is opened with water from the Euphrates River to be anything other than from among those who love us, the Ahlul Bayt.” Then he (the Imam ) asked me, “What is the distance between you and the Euphrates River?” I answered the Imam  and then he said, “If I was next to it, I would love to go to it at the two ends of every day.”
