1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Burayd al-‘Ijli who has said the following: “Once I asked abu Ja’far عليه السلام of the minimum amount of belief with which one is considered a polytheist (one who considers other things as partners of Allah). The narrator has said that the Imam said, ‘It is he who calls a nut a pebble and a pebble a nut and considers it his religion. ’”
