1. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammed bin Hussain bin Abi’l-Khattab, from Ali bin Asbat, from Ahmad bin Umar al-Hallal, from Ali bin Suwayd al-Madeeni, from Abu’l-Hasan, Musa, peace be upon him, that he said: I asked him about the veils which invalidate deeds. He said: The veils are (different) ranks: among them is what beautifies for a servant his evil deed, by which he sees it as good, admires it and assumes that he is doing good; and among them is that a servant believes in his Lord, by which he (assumes that he) performs a favor upon Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, whereas Allah, Exalted is He, is the One who granted him a favor.
Muhammad ibn al-Ḥasan ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Walīd - qu'Allah lui fasse miséricorde - a rapporté: Nous a informés Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥasan al-Ṣaffār, de la part de Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Abī al-Khaṭṭāb, de la part de ʿAlī ibn Asbāṭ, de la part de Aḥmad ibn ʿUmar al-Ḥalāl, de la part de ʿAlī ibn Suwayd al-Madīnī, de la part d'Abū al-Ḥasan Mūsā - que la paix soit sur lui.
