8. We were told by Hasan bin Muhammed bin Sa’eed al-Hashimi, that he said: We were told by Furat bin Ibrahim, that he said: We were told by Ubaid bin Kathir, that he said: I was told by Muhammed bin Marwan, that he said: We were told by Ubaid bin Yahya bin Mahran al-‘Attar, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hussain, from his father, from his grandfather, that he said:

The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, with regards to the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «The Path of those upon whom You have bestowed favor, not the path of those upon whom is the anger, nor those who are mislead.» (1:7) He said: The Shi’a of Ali, peace be upon him, upon whom You have bestowed with the Divine Authority of Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him. He was not angry at them, nor did were they mislead.
