Original Arabic text

[332/4] الكافي: عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، عن صفوان الجمال، عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام في قول الله عزوجل: كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ قال: من أتى الله بما امر به من طاعة محمد صلى الله عليه وآله فهو الوجه الذي لا يهلك و كذلك قال: مَّن يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ

Published English translation

4. [4/332] al-Kafi: A number of our companions from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Khalid from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Abi Nasr from Safwan al-Jammal from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام about the words of Allah Mighty and Majestic: “Everything is to perish except His face” (28:88). He said: Whoever comes to Allah with what he had been ordered (to do) in terms of obeying Muhammad صلى الله عليه وآله then he is the ‘face’ who will not perish. In a similar vein Did He say: “whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah” (4:80).

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
