604. hadíth Majlisī: موثق

2ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ وَسَمَاعَةَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لَمْ تَتَوَاخَوْا عَلَى هَذَا الأمْرِ وَإِنَّمَا تَعَارَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ.

2. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ibn Muskan and Sama’a all from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “You have not become brothers on the basis of this matter (Walayah the belief of the Shi’a Muslims); it is only that you have recognized each other by means of Walayah .”
