Ibn Hanbal says:
A. Ahmad has related from Ibn Numayr from A‘mash from ‘Adiyy bin Thābit from Zirr bin Husbaish from (Imam) ‘Alī [(‘a)] who narrates:
By Allah! One of the covenants which the Messenger of Allah (S) bound me with is this:
“None will bear enmity towards me but the hypocrite and none will love me but the faithful believer.”[49]
Ahmad Shākir regards the isnād of this hadith as sahīh and says about ‘Adiyy bin Thābit al-Ansārī al-Kufī:
He was one of the trustworthy persons of the first generation of Muslims after the Prophet and his being a Shī‘ah does not affect his narrations since he was trustworthy and truthful.
B. ‘Abdullāh bin Ahmad has recorded: Nasr bin ‘Alī Azdī narrates from ‘Alī bin Ja‘far from his brother (Imam) Musā bin Ja‘far [(‘a)] from his father (Imam) Ja‘far bin Muhammad (al-Sadiq) from his father (Muhammad bin ‘Alī al-Bāqir), and he from (his father Imam) ‘Alī bin al-Husayn [(‘a)], who from his father (Imam Husayn), and grandfather (Imam ‘Alī), who narrates the hadith that the Messenger of Allah (S) holding the hands of Hasan and Husayn said:
“Man ahabbanī wa ahabba hadhayn wa abāhumā wa ummahumā kāna ma‘ī fī darajatī yawm al-qiyāmah” (Anyone who loves me and these two and their father and mother will be with me and on my station on the Day of Resurrection).[50]
Ahmad Shākir considers the isnād of this hadith as sahīh. It is also worth noting that when Nasr bin ‘Alī Azdī narrated this hadith he was subjected to 1000 whiplashes on the orders of the ‘Abbāsid caliph al-Mutawakkil.[51]
C. Abu Ahmad (Muhammad bin ‘Abdullāh bin Zubayr Asadī) has related to us from Sufyān (Thawrī) from Abī Jihāf from Abi Hāzim from Abī Hurayrah who quotes a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (S), saying:
“Man ahabbahumā faqad ahabbanī wa man abghazahumā faqad abghazanī, ya‘nī Hasanan wa Husaynan” (Anyone who loves them, I mean Hasan and Husayn, indeed loves me, and anyone who hates them, surely hates me).[52]
Ahmad Shākir considers the isnād of this hadith as sahīh.
