Original Arabic text

75ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَلَقَدْ أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ وَإِلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ لَئِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ لَيَحْبَطَنَّ عَمَلُكَ قَالَ يَعْنِي إِنْ أَشْرَكْتَ فِي الْوَلايَةِ غَيْرَهُ بَلِ الله فَاعْبُدْ وَكُنْ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ يَعْنِي بَلِ الله فَاعْبُدْ بِالطَّاعَةِ وَكُنْ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ أَنْ عَضَدْتُكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَابْنِ عَمِّكَ.

Published English translation

75. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Hakam ibn al-Buhlul from a man frm abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) about the words of Allah, the Most High. ““It has been revealed to you and to those who lived before you that if you consider other things equal to God, your deeds will be made devoid of all virtue. .” (39:65). The Imam (a.s.) said, “It means equal in Wilaya.” “(Muhammad), You must worship God alone and give Him thanks.” (39:66). The Imam (a.s.) said, “It means worship Allah through obedience and be thankful if I provided you support through your brother, your cousin.”
