Hawzah News Agency- Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa ibn ‘Ubayd, from Hassan ibn Muhbub, from ibn Ri’ab, from more than one person narrated from Imam Sadiq (pbuh):
قَالَ مَنْ عَبَدَ الله بِالتَّوَهُّمِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ وَمَنْ عَبَدَ الاسْمَ دُونَ الْمَعْنَى فَقَدْ كَفَرَ وَمَنْ عَبَدَ الاسْمَ وَالْمَعْنَى فَقَدْ أَشْرَكَ وَمَنْ عَبَدَ الْمَعْنَى بِإِيقَاعِ الاسْمَاءِ عَلَيْهِ بِصِفَاتِهِ الَّتِي وَصَفَ بِهَا نَفْسَهُ فَعَقَدَ عَلَيْهِ قَلْبَهُ وَنَطَقَ بِهِ لِسَانُهُ فِي سَرَائِرِهِ وَعَلانِيَتِهِ فَأُولَئِكَ أَصْحَابُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) حَقّاً.
وَفِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ "أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقّاً"
He said: Whoever worships Allah on the basis of mere conjecture has indeed disbelieved. And whoever worships the name without the reality has disbelieved. And whoever worships the name together with the reality has become "Mushrik" (Polytheist). But whoever worships the reality, applying the names to it through the attributes by which He has described Himself, and thus binds his heart to it and lets his tongue declare it, both inwardly and outwardly—such are truly the companions of the Commander of the Faithful (Ali ibn Abi-Talib, pbuh).”
According to another narration ending by: “They certainly are true believers.”
