3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid and abu Ali al-Ash’ari from Muhammad ibn Hassan all from Edris ibn al-Hassan from Musabbih ibn Hilqam who has said that abu Basir narrated to him the following:

“I heard Abu ‘Abdillah saying, ‘Whoever of our people is asked for help by any of his brothers (in belief) and does not do his best to help, has breached his trust with Allah, the Messenger of Allah and the believers.’ Abu Basir has said that he then asked Abu ‘Abdillah ‘What do you mean by “The believers”?’ The Imam said, ‘It applies to Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib as well as ‘A’immah (Leaders with Divine Authority) to the very last of them,.”’
