Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Washaa, from Musanna, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said that: ‘The people are of three levels – A level who are from us (asws) and we (asws) are from them; and a level who adorn themselves by us (asws) (our (asws) name); and a level who eat each other by us (asws) (our (asws) name)’.
