[1/193] رجال الكشي: محمد بن قولويه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد و محمد بن عيسى، عن علي بن مهزيار، عن فضالة بن أيوب الأزدي، عن أبان بن عثمان قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: لعن الله عبد الله بن سبإ إنه ادعى الربوبية في أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام و كان و الله أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام عبدا لله طائعا، الويل لمن كذب علينا و إن قوما يقولون فينا ما لا نقوله في أنفسنا، نبرأ إلى الله منهم نبرأ إلى الله منهم

1. [1/193] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Qulawayh from Sa’d b. Abdallah from Ya’qub b. Yazid and Muhammad b. Isa from Ali b. Mahziyar from Fadhala b. Ayyub al-Azdi from Aban b. Uthman who said: I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام say: may Allah curse Abdallah b. Saba because he claimed divinity for the commander of the faithful عليه السلام, but the commander of the faithful عليه السلام was – by Allah – nothing more than an obedient slave to Allah. Woe be upon the one who lies about us, there is a group that says about us what we do not say about ourselves, we disassociate to Allah from them, we disassociate to Allah from them.

[2/194] رجال الكشي: محمد بن قولويه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن ابن أبي عمير، و أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن أبيه و الحسين بن سعيد، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي قال: قال علي بن الحسين عليه السلام: لعن الله من كذب علينا، إني ذكرت عبد الله بن سبإ فقامت كل شعرة في جسدي، لقد ادعى أمرا عظيما ما له لعنه الله؟! كان علي عليه السلام و الله عبدا لله صالحا، أخو رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ما نال الكرامة من الله إلا بطاعته لله و لرسوله، و ما نال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم الكرامة من الله إلا بطاعته

2. [2/194] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Qulawayh from Sa’d b. Abdallah from Ya’qub b. Yazid from Ibn Abi Umayr AND Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa from his father and al-Husayn b. Said from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham b. Salim from Abi Hamza al-Thumali who said: Ali b. al-Husayn (AS) said: "May Allah curse the one who lies about us, I remembered Abdallah bin Saba, so all the hairlets in my body stood up [in apprehension], for he had claimed a grave matter, what is [wrong] with him?! May Allah curse him! Ali (AS) was, by Allah, a righteous slave of Allah, and the brother of the Messenger of Allah (sw), he did not attain any honor from Allah except through his obedience to Allah and to his messenger, and the Messenger of Allah (sw) did not attain any honor from Allah except through His obedience."

[3/195] رجال الكشي: محمد بن قولويه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد و محمد بن عيسى، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول و هو يحدث أصحابه بحديث عبد الله بن سبإ و ما ادعى من الربوبية في أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام فقال: إنه لما ادعى ذلك فيه استتابه أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام فأبى أن يتوب فأحرقه بالنار

3. [3/195] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Qulawayh from Sa’d b. Abdallah from Ya’qub b. Yazid and Muhammad b. Isa from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham b. Salim who said: I heard Aba Abdillah (as) say while relating to his companions the affair of Abdallah b. Saba and his claim about the divinity of the commander of the faithful Ali b. Abi Talib (as): when he claimed that about him – the commander of the faithful (as) gave him a chance to repent but he refused to repent so he burnt him with fire.
