`Ali b. Ahmad b. `Abdullah b. Ahmad b. Abi `Abdillah al-Barqi narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us from Ahmad b. Abi `Abdullah from Abi Ayyub Sulayman b. Muqbal al-Medini from Muhammad b. Abi `Umayr from Hisham b. Salim from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad . He said:

Whoever sits with one who looks for faults in us, or compliments one who denies us, or connects with one who cuts us off, or cuts off from one who connects with us, or befriends one who opposes us, or opposes one who befriends us has disbelieved in Him who revealed the Seven Oft-Coupled verses and the Great Quran.
