3. We were told by my father, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Ali bin Abi Hamza, from Abu Baseer, that he said
I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: Who are the Aal of Muhammed, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family? He said: His offspring. Then I said: His Household? He said: The Succeeding Imams. Then I said: Then who are his ‘Itra’? He said: The people of the Cloak. Then I said: Who are his nation ? He said: The believers who believed in what he brought from Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, who adhere to the Two Weighty Things whom they were ordered adherence to: the Book of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, and his ‘Itra, his Household, from whom Allah has removed all impurity and purified a (complete) purification. They are the Two Successors over the nation after him, peace be upon him.
وحدثنا أبي - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي بصير قال
قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: من آل محمد صلى الله عليه وآله؟ قال: ذريته. فقلت: أهل بيته؟ قال: الأئمة الأوصياء. فقلت: من عترته؟ قال: أصحاب العباء. فقلت: من أمته؟ قال: المؤمنون الذين صدقوا بما جاء به من عند الله عز وجل، المتمسكون بالثقلين اللذين أمروا بالتمسك بهما: كتاب الله عز وجل، وعترته أهل بيته الذين أذهب الله عنهم الرجس وطهرهم تطهيرا. وهما الخليفتان على الأمة بعده عليه السلام.
