5. We were told by my father, and Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant them both mercy, that they both said: We were told by Sa’d ibn Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali al-Washha’, from Ahmad bin ‘A’idh, from Abu Khadija, Salem bin Makram, the Cameleer, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him,

with regards to the saying of Him, Exalted and Glorious is He: «except for the weakened ones from the men, women and children; they cannot devise a plan, nor are they guided to a path» (4:98), so he said: They are unable to devise a plan towards Nusb [1] by which they antagonize, nor are guided to the path of the people of the truth by which they enter into it. These people will enter Paradise for good deeds and by refraining from the forbidden things which Allah, Exalted an Glorious is He, has prohibited, and they will not attain the ranks of the righteous.
