14ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) خَمْسَةٌ لَعَنْتُهُمْ وَكُلُّ نَبِيٍّ مُجَابٍ الزَّائِدُ فِي كِتَابِ الله وَالتَّارِكُ لِسُنَّتِي وَالْمُكَذِّبُ بِقَدَرِ الله وَالْمُسْتَحِلُّ مِنْ عِتْرَتِي مَا حَرَّمَ الله وَالْمُسْتَأْثِرُ بِالْفَيْ‏ءِ وَالْمُسْتَحِلُّ لَهُ.

Published English translation

14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muyassir from his father from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘I have condemned five things and so also has every prophet whose prayer would not miss acceptance: One who adds things to the book of Allah, ignores my Sunnah (traditions), rejects Allah’s measures, legalizes things that Allah has made unlawful about my descendents and the undeserved appropriator of al-Fay’ (property acquired from the enemy in battle) to himself, considering it lawful.’”
