حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَحَبَّ الأَنْصَارَ أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ الأَنْصَارَ أَبْغَضَهُ اللَّهُ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قُلْتُ لِعَدِيٍّ أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنَ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ إِيَّاىَ حَدَّثَ ‏.‏

Ali ibn Muhammad and Amr ibn Abdullah reported to us; they said: Waki reported to us, from Shu‘bah, from Adi ibn Thabit, from al-Bara ibn Azib, who said: The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said, ‘Whoever loves the Ansar, Allah loves him; and whoever hates the Ansar, Allah hates him.’ Shu‘bah said: I asked Adi, ‘Did you hear it from al-Bara ibn Azib?’ He replied, ‘He narrated it to me personally.’
