 Abdul Wahid b. Muhammed b. Abdus al-Attar al-Nisapuri (ra) narrated to us, from Ali b. Muhammad b. Qutaybah, from al-Fadhl b. Sha'dhan that Ali b. Musa al-Ridha (as) said: Anyone who declares the oneness of Allah (tawhid), denies Him being anthropomorphized (tashbih), deems Him far above that whichever does not fit Him, declares that might, power, will, volition, creation, authority, and acts-all are in the possession of Allah, believes that the acts of the servants (i.e., the planning for the acts) are created, declares that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, that Ali and the Imams who follow him are the arguments of Allah (against the creatures), supports their allies, avoids committing the grand [sins], believes in the raj'ah [of the Imams] and the two mut’ahs, and has faith in the Prophet’s Midnight Ascension, the tomb interrogation, the Divine Pool, the right of intercession, the creation of Paradise and Hell, the Path, the Balance, the raising from the death, and the Resurrection, he is surely a believer and one of our Shia of the Prophet’s household.
