1743. hadíth

وَ سَأَلَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: فَقَالَ يُعْطَى ضَعِيفاً مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِ اَلْوَلاَيَةِ قَالَ "نَعَمْ وَ أَهْلُ اَلْوَلاَيَةِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ ".

Ishaq ibn Ammar asked Abu Ibrahim (Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (a.s)) whether it is permissible to give expiation to someone who is weak but not from the people of wilayah (those who follow the Ahlulbayt). Imam (a.s) said: "Yes, but the people of wilayah are more beloved to me."
