My father (rh) narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: `Abbad b. Sulayman narrated to us from Muhammad b. Sulayman from his father Sulayman al-Daylami from `Umayr b. al-Harith from `Imran b. Maytham from Abi Sukhayla. He said
I met Aba Dharr (rh) and said: O Aba Dharr! I have seen schism, so what do you order me to do? He said: Betake to these two things: The Book of Allah and Shaykh `Ali b. Abi Talib (as), for I have heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say: He is the first to believe in me, and he will be the first to shake hands with me on the Day of Resurrection. He is the Great Saint (al-siddiq al-akbar), and he is the Distinguisher (al-faruq) who will distinguish between truth and falsehood.
5 - حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا عباد بن سليمان، عن محمد بن سليمان، عن أبيه سليمان الديلمي، عن عمير بن الحارث، عن عمران بن ميثم، عن أبي سخيلة، قال
أتيت أبا ذر (رحمه الله) فقلت: يا أبا ذر، إني قد رأيت اختلافا، فبماذا تأمرني؟ قال: عليك بهاتين الخصلتين: كتاب الله، والشيخ علي ابن أبي طالب (عليه السلام)، فإني سمعت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه آله) يقول: هذا أول من آمن بي، وأول من يصافحني يوم القيامة، وهو الصديق الاكبر، وهو الفاروق الذي يفرق بين الحق والباطل (5).
