'''Hadith Silsilat al-Dhahab''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حديث سِلسِلَة الذَّهَب}} | '''Hadith Silsilat al-Dhahab''' (Arabic: {{iarabic|حديث سِلسِلَة الذَّهَب}}, the '''Golden Chain Hadith''') is a [[qudsi hadith]] narrated by [[Imam al-Rida (a)]] on his way to [[Merv]] through [[Neyshabur]], on the [[unity of God]] and one of its main conditions. Since all the narrators of this hadith are the infallible [[Imam]]s (a), all the way to the [[The Prophet (s)|Holy Prophet (s)]], who has narrated it from [[Jabra'il]] (Gabriel) from God, thus it has been called '''Silsilat al-Dhahab''', which means Golden Chain. | ||
According to some reports as Imam al-Rida (a) was saying the hadith more than twenty thousand people were writing it. | |||
Based on this hadith, the belief in [[Tawhid]] rescues the person from hell fire. However, Imam al-Rida (a) has introduced himself as a condition for this salvation. Shi'a scholars believe that by this condition, Imam al-Rida (a) has meant the belief in [[Imamate]]. | Based on this hadith, the belief in [[Tawhid]] rescues the person from hell fire.
