عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَلَى الصَّفَا فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ إِنِّي شَفِيقٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ إِنَّ لِي عَمَلِي وَ لِكُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ عَمَلَهُ لَا تَقُولُوا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً مِنَّا وَ سَنَدْخُلُ مَدْخَلَهُ فَلَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَوْلِيَائِي مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقُونَ أَلَا فَلَا أَعْرِفُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ تَأْتُونَ تَحْمِلُونَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى ظُهُورِكُمْ وَ يَأْتُونَ النَّاسُ يَحْمِلُونَ الْآخِرَةَ أَلَا إِنِّي قَدْ أَعْذَرْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيكُمْ.

205. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Ubeyda, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (a.s) said: ‘The Rasool Allah ﷺ stood upon Al-Safa and said: ‘O Clan of Hashim (a.s)! O Clan of Abdul Muttalib (a.s)! I ﷺ am the Rasool Allah ﷺ to you all, and I (a.s) am compassionate towards you, and for me ﷺ are my ﷺ deeds, and for every man among you are his deeds. Do not say that Muhammad ﷺ is from us and so we shall be entering where he ﷺ would be entering (The Paradise). So, no, by Allah (azwj)! There are no friends for me ﷺ from among you, nor from the others. O Clan of Abdul Muttalib (a.s)! Except for the pious ones, otherwise I ﷺ will not recognise you on the Day of Judgement. You will be coming carrying the ‘world’ (burden of the world) upon your backs and the people would be coming carrying the Hereafter. So I ﷺ warn you with regards to what is between me ﷺ and you all, and with regards to what is between myself ﷺ and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic with regards to you all’.
