He said: Abul Qasim Ja'far b. Muhammad b. Qawlawayh, may ALLAH (SWT) bless him with mercy, reported to me from his father, who reported from Sa'd b. Abdilllah, from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa, from al-Hassan b. Mahboob, from Abu Hamza al- Thumali, from ABU JA'FAR MUHAMMAD B. ALI AL-BAQIR (ASWS), peace be upon him, who said:
"Islam has been founded on five pillars: the daily prayers, giving away of alms, fasting in the month of Ramadhan, pilgrimage to the Sacred House, and love of us, AHLULBAIT (ASWS)."
