Brotherhood in Belief is not Due to Religion it only is a Way of Recognition

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Hamza ibn Muhammad al-Tayyar from his father from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “You have not become brothers on the basis of this belief (of Shi’a Muslims) but you have recognized each other because of it.”’

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I sympathised with him and cried’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Ask me (asws), for by Allah (azwj), you will not ask me (asws) about a thing except that I (asws) will inform you of it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abdul Malik Bin Ayn, ‘I have not heard him (asws) say that to any creature before you’. I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. He (asws) said: ‘They were unjust to us (asws) of our (asws) rights in the Book of Allah (azwj), and with us (asws) Fatima (sa), the inheritance from her (asws) father (saww), and the injustices of these two still flow up to this day’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he gestured to his (asws) back’, (and said): ‘They threw the Book of Allah (azwj) behind their two backs’.
