Hadith Silsilat al-Dhahab: Difference between revisions

The '''Golden Chain Hadith''' is a short narration given by Imam al-Rida (a) on his way to Marw through Nishapur, on the unity of God and one of its main conditions. Since all the narrators of this hadith are the infallible Imams (a), all the way to the Noble Prophet (s), whom himself has narrated it from God, thus it has been called Silsilat al-dhahab, which means Golden Chain.

The text of the hadith as recorded by [[al-Shaykh al-Saduq]] in his Kitab al-Tawhid is as follows:

“There is no lord but Allah” is my stronghold, thus whomever enters my stronghold shall be safe from my punishment. When the caravan started to move [Imam al-Rida (a)] said: [but ofcourse] it has conditions, and I am one of its conditions.”
