Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni...

Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, and Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Qaib, from Bukeyr Bin Ayn who said, ‘Abu Ja’far -asws was saying: ‘Allah -azwj Took the Covenant of our -asws Shias with the Wilayah, and they were particles on the Day the Covenant was Taken upon the particles, and the acknowledgment to Him -azwj of the Lordship, and to Muhammad -saww with the Prophet-hood’.

[17] أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن سليمان بن جعفر الجعفري، عن أبي الحسن الرضا عليه السلام، قال: قال لي: يا سليمان، ان الله تبارك وتعالى خلق المؤمن من نوره، وصبغهم في رحمته، وأخذ ميثاقهم لنا بالولاية، فالمؤمن أخو المؤمن لابيه وأمه، أبوه النور وأمه الرحمة، فاتقوا فراسة المؤمن، فانه ينظر بنور الله الذي خلق منه “.

Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from his father, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Ja’fary, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza -asws , ‘He -asws said to me: ‘O Suleyman! Allah -azwj Blessed and High Created the Believer from His -azwj Noor , and Coloured them with His -azwj Mercy, and Took their Covenant for us -asws with the Wilayah. So the Believer is a brother of the Believer to (as of the same) father and the mother. His father is the Noor (the Light) and his mother is the Mercy.

Therefore, fear the insight of the Believer, for he looks by the Noor of Allah -azwj from which He -azwj has been Created’.

[18] عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن علي بن رئاب، عن بكير بن أعين، قال: كان أبو جعفر عليه السلام يقول: ان الله تبارك وتعالى أخذ ميثاق شيعتنا بالولاية لنا وهم ذر يوم أخذ الميثاق على الذر بالاقرار له بالربوبية ولمحمد صلى الله عليه وآله بالنبوة وعرض على محمد صلى الله عليه وآله أمته في الطين وهم أظلة، وخلقهم من الطينة التي خلق منها آدم، وخلق أرواح شيعتنا قبل أبدانهم بألفى عام، وعرضهم عليه وعرفهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وعلي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام ونحن نعرفهم في لحن القول.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Bakeyr Bin Ayn who said, ‘Abu Ja’far -asws was saying: ‘Allah -azwj Blessed and High Took a Covenant from our -asws Shiah with the Wilayah for us -asws , and they were particles, on the day He -azwj Took the Covenant upon the particles with the acceptance for Him -azwj with the Lordship, and for Muhammad -saww with the Prophet-hood, and Presented to Muhammad -saww , his -asws community in the clay, and they were shadows.
