The case of those who have recognized Ahl al-Bayt and those who have ignored them
4 Aḥadīth
A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sulayman ibn Ja‘far who has said the following. “I heards al-Rida 
saying, “Ali ibn ‘Abdallah (or ‘Ubaydallah)ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn al-Husayn ibn Ali ibn abu Talib , his wife and childred are of the people of paradise.” He then said, “Whoever would recognize this matter (Leadership with Divine Authority) in the descendants of Ali and Fatima he would not be like the people.”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا يَقُولُ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَامْرَأَتَهُ وَبَنِيهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ عَرَفَ هَذَا الامْرَ مِنْ وُلْدِ عَلِيٍّ وَفَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) لَمْ يَكُنْ كَالنَّاسِ.
2- Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad who has said that al-Washsha’ said that Ahmad ibn ‘Umar al-Halal said: “I asked abi al-Hasan : Inform me about those who, as a descendant of Fatima, opposed you and did not know your right, would his punishment be the same as the rest of other people?” He replied, “Ali ibn al-Husayn used to say that their punishment will twice as much.”
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْوَشَّاءُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْحَلالُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لابِي الْحَسَنِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّنْ عَانَدَكَ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْ حَقَّكَ مِنْ وُلْدِ فَاطِمَةَ هُوَ وَسَائِرُ النَّاسِ سَوَاءٌ فِي الْعِقَابِ فَقَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بن الحسين (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) يَقُولُ عَلَيْهِمْ ضِعْفَا الْعِقَابِ.
Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Rashid who has that reported to us Ali ibn ’Isma‘il al-Maythami who has said that narrated to us Rabi’i ibn ‘Abdallah who has said that said to him ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn abu ‘Abdallah the following. “I said to abu ‘Abdallah , ‘are those who are ignorant of this matter (Leadership with Divine Authority) of the descendants of Hashim and others the same?” He said to me, “Do not say, “al-Munkir” (ignorant) but say al-Jahid (rejecter ) of the descendants of Hashim and other people.” Abu al-Hassan has said I thought about it and then I recalled the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most gracious, about the brothers of Yusuf (Joseph) “He recognized them but they were ignorant about him.” (2:58)
الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْمِيثَمِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا رِبْعِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الله قَالَ قَالَ لِي عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قُلْتُ لابِي عَبْدِ الله الْمُنْكِرُ لِهَذَا الامْرِ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ سَوَاءٌ فَقَالَ لِي لا تَقُلِ الْمُنْكِرُ وَلَكِنْ قُلِ الْجَاحِدُ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَغَيْرِهِمْ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ فَتَفَكَّرْتُ فِيهِ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي إِخْوَةِ يُوسُفَ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَهُمْ لَهُ مُنْكِرُونَ.
A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following. “I asked al-Rida , ‘Are those who reject you from your own people and other such people the same?” He replied, “Those of our own people who would reject us (our Leadership with Divine Authority) would be considered as having committed twice as much sin and the good deed from our own people who are virtuous would also considered as of twice as much value.”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا قُلْتُ لَهُ الْجَاحِدُ مِنْكُمْ وَمِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ سَوَاءٌ فَقَالَ الْجَاحِدُ مِنَّا لَهُ ذَنْبَانِ وَالْمُحْسِنُ لَهُ حَسَنَتَانِ.
