out of 567

H 14449 - Muhammad Ibn Yaqub Al-Kulayni has narrated that, ‘Narrated to me Ali Ibn Ibrahim from his father from Ibn FaddAl-from Hafs al-Mu'Adhdhin from Abu Abdullahasws as well as Muhammad Ibn 'Ismail Ibn Bazi' from Muhammad Ibn Sinan from 'Ismail Ibn Jabir that - 

‘Abu Abdullahasws, wrote this letter to hisasws companions and commanded them to study it, ponder over it, and make a pact by it, and act in accordance with. They used to keep it in their places of Prayer in their homes. So when they were free from their Prayers, they would look into it’.

قَالَ وَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ الصَّحَّافِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ خَرَجَتْ هَذِهِ الرِّسَالَةُ مِنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ

He said, ‘Narrated to me A-Hassan Ibn Muhammad, from Ja'far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Malik al-Kufiy from al-Qasim Ibn Al-Rabi' Al-Sahhaf from 'Ismail Ibn Mukhallad Al-Sarraj from Abu Abd Allahasws.

He said that, ‘I brought out this letter of Abu Abdullahasws to hisasws companions –

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَاسْأَلُوا رَبَّكُمُ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالدَّعَةِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ السَّكِينَةِ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَيَاءِ وَ التَّنَزُّهِ عَمَّا تَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ الصَّالِحُونَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِمُجَامَلَةِ أَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ تَحَمَّلُوا الضَّيْمَ مِنْهُمْ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ مُمَاظَّتَهُمْ دِينُوا فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذَا أَنْتُمْ جَالَسْتُمُوهُمْ وَ خَالَطْتُمُوهُمْ وَ نَازَعْتُمُوهُمُ الْكَلَامَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ لَكُمْ مِنْ مُجَالَسَتِهِمْ وَ مُخَالَطَتِهِمْ وَ مُنَازَعَتِهِمُ الْكَلَامَ بِالتَّقِيَّةِ الَّتِي أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَأْخُذُوا بِهَا فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ

‘In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, Iasws ask your Lordazwj to grant you all good health. It is for you all to have tenderness, dignity and tranquility, and it is for you to be bashful and keep yourselves clear, just as the righteous people before you have done. It is for you to be courteous with the people of falsehood. You will bear injustices from them, and beware of disputing with them in what is between you and them. When you sit with them, and are alone with them and argue your differences with them, there is no way out for you but to sit with them and be alone with them, and argue with them by the dissimulation which Allahazwj has Ordered you for, that you should take to it regarding what is between you and them.

فَإِذَا ابْتُلِيتُمْ بِذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُؤْذُونَكُمْ وَ تَعْرِفُونَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ الْمُنْكَرَ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَدْفَعُهُمْ عَنْكُمْ لَسَطَوْا بِكُمْ وَ مَا فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنَ الْعَدَاوَةِ وَ الْبَغْضَاءِ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا يُبْدُونَ لَكُمْ مَجَالِسُكُمْ وَ مَجَالِسُهُمْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ أَرْوَاحُكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحُهُمْ مُخْتَلِفَةٌ لَا تَأْتَلِفُ لَا تُحِبُّونَهُمْ أَبَداً وَ لَا يُحِبُّونَكُمْ غَيْرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَكْرَمَكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ بَصَّرَكُمُوهُ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ

So if you are tested with that from them, that they wish to harm you and you can recognise abhorrence in their faces, and if Allahazwj, the High does not Dispel them away from you, they would rob you. And what is in their chests of enmity and hatred is much more than what they display to you. Your gatherings and their gatherings are one and the same, but your spirits and their spirits are different. You will not reconcile with them and you will never lover them, ever, and they will never love you as well. Surely Allahazwj the High has Honoured you all with the truth and Made you to visualise it, and did not Make them to be deserving of it.

فَتُجَامِلُونَهُمْ وَ تَصْبِرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ هُمْ لَا مُجَامَلَةَ لَهُمْ وَ لَا صَبْرَ لَهُمْ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ حِيَلُهُمْ وَسْوَاسُ بَعْضِهِمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَإِنَّ أَعْدَاءَ اللَّهِ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا صَدُّوكُمْ عَنِ الْحَقِّ فَيَعْصِمُكُمْ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ كُفُّوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تُزْلِقُوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ بِقَوْلِ الزُّورِ وَ الْبُهْتَانِ وَ الْإِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ كَفَفْتُمْ أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ عَمَّا يَكْرَهُهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ كَانَ خَيْراً لَكُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تُزْلِقُوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ بِهِ فَإِنَّ زَلَقَ اللِّسَانِ فِيمَا يَكْرَهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَا يَنْهَى عَنْهُ

Be courteous to them and be patient with them, for they have no courtesy to you nor do they have patience over anything, and some of them are obsessed with tricking the others, for the enemies of Allahazwj have the ability to keep you from the truth. Allahazwj Protects you from that, so fear Allahazwj and hold back your tongues except from the good, and beware of letting your tongues to slip into speaking that which is false, and the slanderous, and the sinful, and the violation. So if you were to hold back your tongues from what is disliked by Allahazwj, from what Heazwj has Forbidden you from, it would be better for you with your Lordazwj than letting your tongues slip into what is disliked by Himazwj and what Heazwj has Prohibited you from. 

مَرْدَاةٌ لِلْعَبْدِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ مَقْتٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ صَمٌّ وَ عَمًى وَ بَكَمٌ يُورِثُهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَتَصِيرُوا كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لا يَرْجِعُونَ يَعْنِي لَا يَنْطِقُونَ وَ لا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ مَا نَهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوهُ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالصَّمْتِ إِلَّا فِيمَا يَنْفَعُكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ أَمْرِ آخِرَتِكُمْ وَ يَأْجُرُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ

There is destruction for the servant, with Allahazwj, and Repugnance from Allahazwj, and there will be deafness, and blindness, and muteness which Allahazwj will Make him to inherit on the Day of Judgement. So they will become just as Allahazwj has said: “[2:18] Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not turn back”, it means that they will not be speaking and will not have the Permission to present their excuses. And beware from what Allahazwj has Prohibited you from doing, and it is for you to remain silent except with regards to what Allahazwj has Benefited you by from the matters of your Hereafter and be Rewarded by Himazwj.

وَ أَكْثِرُوا مِنَ التَّهْلِيلِ وَ التَّقْدِيسِ وَ التَّسْبِيحِ وَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ التَّضَرُّعِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ فِيمَا عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ الَّذِي لَا يَقْدِرُ قَدْرَهُ وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ كُنْهَهُ أَحَدٌ فَاشْغَلُوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ بِذَلِكَ عَمَّا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِنْ أَقَاوِيلِ الْبَاطِلِ الَّتِي تُعْقِبُ أَهْلَهَا خُلُوداً فِي النَّارِ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ يَتُبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ لَمْ يَنْزِعْ عَنْهَا

And be frequent in Extolling Hisazwj Holiness, and Glorification, and the Praising to Allahazwj, and the desires for what is with Himazwj from the Good which cannot be estimated, nor can anyone reach it (imagine), so occupy your tongues with that in order to avoid the false speech which would lead its owners to an eternity in the Fire for the one who dies upon it and does not repent to Allahazwj, and does not keep away from it. 

وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمْ يُدْرِكُوا نَجَاحَ الْحَوَائِجِ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْهِ وَ التَّضَرُّعِ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ لَهُ فَارْغَبُوا فِيمَا رَغَّبَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ وَ أَجِيبُوا اللَّهَ إِلَى مَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَيْهِ لِتُفْلِحُوا وَ تَنْجُوا مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ

And it is for you to supplicate, for the Muslims cannot be successful in the fulfilment of their wishes with their Lordazwj by any means higher than supplication and desiring from Himazwj, and appealing to Allahazwj, and the asking from Himazwj. So be desirous in what you request to Allahazwj so that Heazwj would Answer you to what you have supplicated to Himazwj in order to be successful and be saved from the Punishment of Allahazwj.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَشْرَهَ أَنْفُسُكُمْ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنِ انْتَهَكَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ هَاهُنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا حَالَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ نَعِيمِهَا وَ لَذَّتِهَا وَ كَرَامَتِهَا الْقَائِمَةِ الدَّائِمَةِ لِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ

And beware of being greedy for yourselves to something from what Allahazwj has Prohibited to you. For the one who violates what Allahazwj has Prohibited to him here in the world, Allahazwj would Place a block between him and the Paradise, and its Bounties, and its enjoyments, and its Prestige which will stand for all eternity for the inhabitants of the Paradise, for ever and ever.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ بِئْسَ الْحَظُّ الْخَطَرُ لِمَنْ خَاطَرَ اللَّهَ بِتَرْكِ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ رُكُوبِ مَعْصِيَتِهِ فَاخْتَارَ أَنْ يَنْتَهِكَ مَحَارِمَ اللَّهِ فِي لَذَّاتِ دُنْيَا مُنْقَطِعَةٍ زَائِلَةٍ عَنْ أَهْلِهَا عَلَى خُلُودِ نَعِيمٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَذَّاتِهَا وَ كَرَامَةِ أَهْلِهَا

And know that it is an evil misfortune for the one who takes the risk of endangering the obedience to Allahazwj the Blessed, and to be disobedient to Himazwj. So the choosing to violate what Allahazwj has Prohibited from the pleasures of the world would cut its people off from the eternal-Bliss in the Paradise, and its pleasures, and the prestige of its inhabitants.

وَيْلٌ لِأُولَئِكَ مَا أَخْيَبَ حَظَّهُمْ وَ أَخْسَرَ كَرَّتَهُمْ وَ أَسْوَأَ حَالَهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ اسْتَجِيرُوا اللَّهَ أَنْ يُجِيرَكُمْ فِي مِثَالِهِمْ أَبَداً وَ أَنْ يَبْتَلِيَكُمْ بِمَا ابْتَلَاهُمْ بِهِ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ لَنَا وَ لَكُمْ إِلَّا بِهِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِصَابَةُ النَّاجِيَةُ إِنْ أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ مَا أَعْطَاكُمْ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَتِمُّ الْأَمْرُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِثْلُ الَّذِي دَخَلَ عَلَى الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَ حَتَّى تُبْتَلَوْا فِي أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَ أَمْوَالِكُمْ وَ حَتَّى تَسْمَعُوا مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ أَذًى كَثِيراً

Woe be unto those! What a frustration they will face when they lose, and evil would be their condition with their Lordazwj on the Day of Judgement. Seek Refuge with Allahazwj that Heazwj would Protect you from being in a situation similar to theirs forever, and be in afflictions like their afflictions.

And there is no Might with usasws or with you except by Himazwj. So, fear Allahazwj, O group of saved people, that Allahazwj will Complete for you what Heazwj has Granted you with, for the matter will not be complete until Heazwj Makes you to enter into similar of what came upon the righteous ones before you, and until you face tribulation with regards to yourselves and your wealth, and until you hear from the enemies of Allahazwj, a lot of painful words.

فَتَصْبِرُوا وَ تَعْرُكُوا بِجُنُوبِكُمْ وَ حَتَّى يَسْتَذِلُّوكُمْ وَ يُبْغِضُوكُمْ وَ حَتَّى يُحَمِّلُوا عَلَيْكُمُ الضَّيْمَ فَتَحَمَّلُوا مِنْهُمْ تَلْتَمِسُونَ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ وَ حَتَّى تَكْظِمُوا الْغَيْظَ الشَّدِيدَ فِي الْأَذَى فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَجْتَرِمُونَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ حَتَّى يُكَذِّبُوكُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ يُعَادُوكُمْ فِيهِ وَ يُبْغِضُوكُمْ عَلَيْهِ

So, observe patience and take it in your stride, and even if they humiliate you, and hate you, and even if they burden you with injustices. So bear these from them, seeking by that the Face of Allahazwj and the House of the Hereafter, and until you control your intense anger in the suffering for the sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. They will incriminate you, and even belie you about the truth, and be inimical towards you with regards to it, and be hateful towards you.

فَتَصْبِرُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ وَ مِصْدَاقُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى نَبِيِّكُمْ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سَمِعْتُمْ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِنَبِيِّكُمْ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَاصْبِرْ كَما صَبَرَ أُولُوا الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَ لا تَسْتَعْجِلْ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ إِنْ يُكَذِّبُوكَ فَقَدْ كُذِّبَتْ رُسُلٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ

So, observe patience on that from them, and all that has been Ratified in the Book of Allahazwj which Jibraeelas Descended with upon your Prophetsaww, getting your Prophetsaww to hear the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[46:35] Therefore bear up patiently as did the messengers endowed with constancy bear up with patience and do not seek to hasten for them (their doom).” Then Heazwj Said: “[35:4] And if they call you a liar, truly messengers before you were called liars”.

فَصَبَرُوا عَلى ما كُذِّبُوا وَ أُوذُوا فَقَدْ كُذِّبَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ الرُّسُلُ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ وَ أُوذُوا مَعَ التَّكْذِيبِ بِالْحَقِّ فَإِنْ سَرَّكُمْ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ فِيهِمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُمْ لَهُ فِي الْأَصْلِ [أَصْلِ الْخَلْقِ] مِنَ الْكُفْرِ الَّذِي سَبَقَ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُمْ لَهُ فِي الْأَصْلِ وَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ وَ جَعَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ

So observe patience on what they lie about and hurt you with, for they had belied the Prophetsaww of Allahazwj, and the Messengersas from before himsaww, and hurt them along with the denial of the truth. And if you are happy with the Commands of Allahazwj regarding themasws whom Allahazwj Created for Himselfzwj in the Beginning (beginning of the creation), from the infidelity which has preceded in the Knowledge of Allahazwj that Heazwj Created them in the origin and the ones whom Allahazwj has Named in Hisazwj book in Hisazwj Words: “[28:41] And We made them Imams who call to the fire”.

فَتَدَبَّرُوا هَذَا وَ اعْقِلُوهُ وَ لَا تَجْهَلُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَجْهَلْ هَذَا وَ أَشْبَاهَهُ مِمَّا افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ مِمَّا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَ نَهَى عَنْهُ تَرَكَ دِينَ اللَّهِ وَ رَكِبَ مَعَاصِيَهُ فَاسْتَوْجَبَ سَخَطَ اللَّهِ فَأَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي النَّارِ

So, ponder over this and hold on to it, and do not be ignorant of it, for the one who is ignorant of this and the like of this which Allahazwj has Made to be Obligatory in Hisazwj Book from what Allahazwj has Ordered for and Prohibited from, has disregarded the Religion of Allahazwj and became disobedient to Himazwj. Therefore he has necessitated (upon himself) the Outrage of Allahazwj, and Allahazwj will Fling him into the Fire upon his face’.

وَ قَالَ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِصَابَةُ الْمَرْحُومَةُ الْمُفْلِحَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَتَمَّ لَكُمْ مَا آتَاكُمْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا مِنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ فِي دِينِهِ بِهَوًى وَ لَا رَأْيٍ وَ لَا مَقَايِيسَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِ تِبْيَانَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ جَعَلَ لِلْقُرْآنِ وَ لِتَعَلُّمِ الْقُرْآنِ أَهْلًا لَا يَسَعُ أَهْلَ عِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ الَّذِينَ آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ عِلْمَهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا فِيهِ بِهَوًى وَ لَا رَأْيٍ وَ لَا مَقَايِيسَ أَغْنَاهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ بِمَا آتَاهُمْ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ وَ خَصَّهُمْ بِهِ وَ وَضَعَهُ عِنْدَهُمْ كَرَامَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ أَكْرَمَهُمْ بِهَا

And heasws said: ‘O you group of Blessed ones, the victorious ones! Surely, Allahazwj Completed for you what Heazwj Granted you all from the good, and know that it is not from the Knowledge of Allahazwj, nor from Hisazwj Commands that any one from the creatures of Allahazwj, should take to opinions or analogies regarding his Religion. Allahazwj Has Sent down the Quran and Made to be in it an explanation of all things, and Assigned for the Quran and the teaching of the Quran, its Peopleasws.

There is no leeway for the Peopleasws of knowledge of the Quran whomasws Allahazwj had Given to them of its Knowledge, that theyasws should take to desires, or opinions, or analogies with regards to it. Allahazwj has Made themasws to be needless from that by what Heazwj has Given themasws from Hisazwj Knowledge, and Specialised themasws by it, and Placed in it Prestige from Allahazwj to Honour themasws by.

وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الذِّكْرِ الَّذِينَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ مَنْ سَأَلَهُمْ وَ قَدْ سَبَقَ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يُصَدِّقَهُمْ وَ يَتَّبِعَ أَثَرَهُمْ أَرْشَدُوهُ وَ أَعْطَوْهُ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ مَا يَهْتَدِي بِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ سُبُلِ الْحَقِّ

And theyasws are the Peopleasws of the Remembrance (Ahl Al-Zikr) whom Allahazwj has Ordered the people to ask themasws, and theyasws are the onesasws to be asked. And it has preceded in the Knowledge of Allahazwj that they should ratify themasws, and follow theirasws footsteps. Heazwj Guided themasws, and Gave themasws from the Knowledge of the Quran with which theyasws guide (others) to Allahazwj by Hisazwj Permission, and to all the ways of the truth.

وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَرْغَبُ عَنْهُمْ وَ عَنْ مَسْأَلَتِهِمْ وَ عَنْ عِلْمِهِمُ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَ جَعَلَهُ عِنْدَهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ الشَّقَاءُ فِي أَصْلِ الْخَلْقِ تَحْتَ الْأَظِلَّةِ

And theyasws are the onesasws that Heazwj does not Want them to be released from, and from asking themasws, and from being taught by themasws which Allahazwj has Honoured themasws with and Made it to be with themasws, except for the one who has preceded in the Knowledge of Allahazwj, as being the miserable one in the origin of the creation underneath the shadow.

––––––––

فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَرْغَبُونَ عَنْ سُؤَالِ أَهْلِ الذِّكْرِ وَ الَّذِينَ آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ عِلْمَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ وَضَعَهُ عِنْدَهُمْ وَ أَمَرَ بِسُؤَالِهِمْ وَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَأْخُذُونَ بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ وَ آرَائِهِمْ وَ مَقَايِيسِهِمْ حَتَّى دَخَلَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ لِأَنَّهُمْ جَعَلُوا أَهْلَ الْإِيمَانِ فِي عِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَافِرِينَ وَ جَعَلُوا أَهْلَ الضَّلَالَةِ فِي عِلْمِ الْقُرْآنِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ وَ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ حَرَاماً وَ جَعَلُوا مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ حَلَالًا

So these are the ones who turn away from asking the Peopleasws of the Remembrance (Ahl Al-Zikr) and the onesasws to whom Allahazwj has Granted the Knowledge of the Quran and Placed it in theirasws possession, and Ordered for asking themasws.

These are the ones who act on their desires, and their opinions, and their analogies to the extent that Satanla enters them[1], (as a result) they (try) to revert the believing people, in the Knowledge of the Quran with Allahazwj, as disbelievers, and try to make the misguided people, in the Knowledge of the Quran with Allahazwj, as believer, but to the extent that they declare what Allahazwj has Made Permissible, in many matters as being prohibited, and pronounce what Allahazwj has Prohibited, in many matters as being permissible.

فَذَلِكَ أَصْلُ ثَمَرَةِ أَهْوَائِهِمْ وَ قَدْ عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ بَعْدَ مَا قَبَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَسُولَهُ يَسَعُنَا أَنْ نَأْخُذَ بِمَا اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ رَأْيُ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ مَا قَبَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَسُولَهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ بَعْدَ عَهْدِهِ الَّذِي عَهِدَهُ إِلَيْنَا وَ أَمَرَنَا بِهِ مُخَالِفاً لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله)

So this is the origin of the fruit of their desires. And the Messengersaww of Allahazwj had taken an oath from them before hissaww passing away. So they said, ‘After Allahazwj Captures Hisazwj Messengersaww, we have the leeway of taking to the consensus of the opinions of the people. After Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Captured Hisazwj Messengersaww, and after hissaww oath which hesaww took from usasws, and ordered usasws by, they opposed Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww.

فَمَا أَحَدٌ أَجْرَأَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ لَا أَبْيَنَ ضَلَالَةً مِمَّنْ أَخَذَ بِذَلِكَ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يَسَعُهُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ أَنْ يُطِيعُوهُ وَ يَتَّبِعُوا أَمْرَهُ فِي حَيَاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ هَلْ يَسْتَطِيعُ أُولَئِكَ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَزْعُمُوا أَنَّ أَحَداً مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَخَذَ بِقَوْلِهِ وَ رَأْيِهِ وَ مَقَايِيسِهِ فَإِنْ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ ضَلَّ ضَلَالًا بَعِيداً وَ إِنْ قَالَ لَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بِرَأْيِهِ وَ هَوَاهُ وَ مَقَايِيسِهِ فَقَدْ أَقَرَّ بِالْحُجَّةِ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُطَاعُ وَ يُتَّبَعُ أَمْرُهُ بَعْدَ قَبْضِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله)

So what is more audacious to Allahazwj, nor any clear misguidance from the one who takes to that, and alleges that it gives him the leeway to do it? By Allahazwj, surely Allahazwj has Obligated Hisazwj creatures that they should obey Himazwj, and follow Hisazwj Commands during the lifetime of Muhammadsaww, and after hissaww passing away.

Can those enemies of Allahazwj who are alleging that anyone who became a Muslim with Muhammadsaww, can take to his own words, and his own opinions, and his own analogies? But if he says, ‘Yes, then, surely, he has lied to Allahazwj and has strayed a far straying, and if he says, ‘No, it is not for anyone that he should take to his opinions, and his desires, and his analogies’, so he has argued against himself, and he is from the ones who allege that Allahazwj has to be Obeyed, and Hisazwj Orders to be followed after the passing away of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj.

وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً وَ سَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ وَ ذَلِكَ لِتَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُطَاعُ وَ يُتَّبَعُ أَمْرُهُ فِي حَيَاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ بَعْدَ قَبْضِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ كَمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بِهَوَاهُ وَ لَا رَأْيِهِ وَ لَا مَقَايِيسِهِ خِلَافاً لِأَمْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَكَذَلِكَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَنْ يَأْخُذَ بِهَوَاهُ وَ لَا رَأْيِهِ وَ لَا مَقَايِيسِهِ

Allahazwj has said, and Hisazwj words are true: “[3:144] And Muhammad is no more than a messenger; the messengers have already passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon his heels, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least and Allah will reward the grateful”, and that is something which they knew that Allahazwj is to be obeyed and Hisazwj Commands are to be followed during the lifetime of Muhammadsaww, and (as well as) after Allahazwj had Made Muhammadsaww to pass away. And if it was not for anyone from the people who were with Muhammadsaww that they would take to their own desires, and their opinions, and their analogies in opposition to the orders of Muhammadsaww, so similarly it is not for anyone from the people after Muhammadsaww that they would take to their own desires, and their opinions, and their analogies’.

وَ قَالَ دَعُوا رَفْعَ أَيْدِيكُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً حِينَ تُفْتَتَحُ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ شَهَرُوكُمْ بِذَلِكَ وَ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

And heasws said: ‘Leave the raising of your hands in the Prayer except for the one time when you open the Prayer, for the people have publicised you all by that[2], and Allahazwj is the Helper, and there is no Might and there is no Power except by Allahazwj’.

وَ قَالَ أَكْثِرُوا مِنْ أَنْ تَدْعُوا اللَّهَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْ يَدْعُوهُ وَ قَدْ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ عِبَادَهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالِاسْتِجَابَةِ وَ اللَّهُ مُصَيِّرٌ دُعَاءَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَهُمْ عَمَلًا يَزِيدُهُمْ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَأَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَ بِكَثْرَةِ الذِّكْرِ لَهُ وَ اللَّهُ ذَاكِرٌ لِمَنْ ذَكَرَهُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَّا ذَكَرَهُ بِخَيْرٍ

And heasws said: ‘Supplicate frequently to Allahazwj for Allahazwj Loves the ones from the believing servants that they should supplicate to Himazwj, and Allahazwj has Promised the believing servants for the Answering, and Allahazwj has Destined the supplications of the Believers, on the Day of Judgement, to increase their deeds by it in the Paradise. So, frequently remember Allahazwj in accordance with your abilities in every hour of the hours of the night and the day, for Allahazwj has Ordered for frequent Remembrance (Al-Zikr) to Himazwj, and Allahazwj Remembers the one who remembers Himazwj from the Believers. And know, that Allahazwj never Remembers anyone from Hisazwj believing servant except Remembering him with Goodness.

فَأَعْطُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمُ الِاجْتِهَادَ فِي طَاعَتِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُدْرَكُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ اجْتِنَابِ مَحَارِمِهِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فِي ظَاهِرِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ بَاطِنِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ وَ ذَرُوا ظاهِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَ باطِنَهُ

So give Allahazwj from yourselves, the struggle in obedience to Himazwj, for Allahazwj does not Accept anything from the good with Himazwj except by obedience to Himazwj, and the avoidance of Hisazwj Prohibitions which Allahazwj has Prohibited in the apparent of the Quran and in its hidden. Allahazwj Blessed and High has Said in Hisazwj Book, and Hisazwj Words are True: “[6:120] And abandon open and secret sin”. 

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ تَجْتَنِبُوهُ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَهُ وَ اتَّبِعُوا آثَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ سُنَّتَهُ فَخُذُوا بِهَا وَ لَا تَتَّبِعُوا أَهْوَاءَكُمْ وَ آرَاءَكُمْ فَتَضِلُّوا فَإِنَّ أَضَلَّ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ هَوَاهُ وَ رَأْيَهُ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللَّهِ

And know that whatever Allahazwj has Ordered you to avoid, so Heazwj has Prohibited it, and follow the footsteps of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and hissaww Sunnah, so adhere to it and do not follow your own desires, and your opinions, for you will go astray. The most misguided of the people with Allahazwj is the one who follows his own desires and his opinion without (following the) Guidance from Allahazwj.

وَ أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَ إِنْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ أَحْسَنْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ وَ إِنْ أَسَأْتُمْ فَلَها وَ جَامِلُوا النَّاسَ وَ لَا تَحْمِلُوهُمْ عَلَى رِقَابِكُمْ تَجْمَعُوا مَعَ ذَلِكَ طَاعَةَ رَبِّكُمْ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ سَبَّ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ يَسْمَعُونَكُمْ فَيَسُبُّوا اللَّهَ عَدْواً بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ وَ قَدْ يَنْبَغِي لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا حَدَّ سَبِّهِمْ لِلَّهِ كَيْفَ هُوَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ سَبَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ فَقَدِ انْتَهَكَ سَبَّ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِمَّنِ اسْتَسَبَّ لِلَّهِ وَ لِأَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ فَمَهْلًا مَهْلًا فَاتَّبِعُوا أَمْرَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

And do good for yourselves in accordance with your abilities, for if you do good, it would be for your own selves, and if you violate, it would be against your own selves. And intermingle with the people and do not burden them upon your necks, including along with that the obedience to your Lordazwj. And beware of insulting the enemies of Allahazwj when they are listening to you, for the enemies will insult Allahazwj without awareness, and it is better that you should know the penalty of insulting Allahazwj and what it is.

He who has insulted the friends of Allahazwj is like he has insulted Allahazwj. And the one who is the most unjust with Allahazwj is the one who insults Allahazwj and the friends of Allahazwj, so don’t do it, don’t do it. Follow the Commands of Allahazwj. There is no Might, and no Power except by Allahazwj’.

وَ قَالَ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِصَابَةُ الْحَافِظُ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ أَمْرَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ بِآثَارِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ آثَارِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ سُنَّتِهِمْ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَخَذَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَدِ اهْتَدَى وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ ذَلِكَ وَ رَغِبَ عَنْهُ ضَلَّ لِأَنَّهُمْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ

And heasws said: ‘O you group for whom Allahazwj has Protected for them their affairs! It is for you to follow the footsteps of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj and hissaww Sunnah, and the footsteps of the Imamsasws of Guidance from the Peopleasws of the Household of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj from after himsaww and theirasws Sunnah. So the one who takes to that has been guided, and the one who avoided that and abandoned it, went astray, because theyasws are the onesasws for whom Allahazwj Commanded (the people) to be obedient to, and for theirasws Wilayah.

وَ قَدْ قَالَ أَبُونَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمُدَاوَمَةُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ فِي اتِّبَاعِ الْآثَارِ وَ السُّنَنِ وَ إِنْ قَلَّ أَرْضَى لِلَّهِ وَ أَنْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ فِي الْعَاقِبَةِ مِنَ الِاجْتِهَادِ فِي الْبِدَعِ وَ اتِّبَاعِ الْأَهْوَاءِ أَلَا إِنَّ اتِّبَاعَ الْأَهْوَاءِ وَ اتِّبَاعَ الْبِدَعِ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللَّهِ ضَلَالٌ وَ كُلُّ ضَلَالَةٍ بِدْعَةٌ وَ كُلُّ بِدْعَةٍ فِي النَّارِ وَ لَنْ يُنَالَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ الصَّبْرِ وَ الرِّضَا لِأَنَّ الصَّبْرَ وَ الرِّضَا مِنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ

And ourasws fatherasws the Messengersaww of Allahazwj has said: ‘The continuation upon the deeds in the following of the footsteps and the Sunnah, even though they may be little, is more Pleasing to Allahazwj and beneficial with Himazwj in the Rewards, than the struggle in the ‘Bittah) heresy, and the desires. Indeed, the following of the desires, and the following of the heresies (innovations) without Guidance from Allahazwj is misguidance, and every misguidance is heresy, and every heretic will be in the Fire. And nothing can be achieved from the good with Allahazwj except by being obedient to Himazwj, and the patience and being agreeable, because the patience and being agreeable is from the obedience to Allahazwj.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُؤْمِنَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِهِ حَتَّى يَرْضَى عَنِ اللَّهِ فِيمَا صَنَعَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ صَنَعَ بِهِ عَلَى مَا أَحَبَّ وَ كَرِهَ وَ لَنْ يَصْنَعَ اللَّهُ بِمَنْ صَبَرَ وَ رَضِيَ عَنِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا مَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِمَّا أَحَبَّ وَ كَرِهَ

And know, that a servant from the servants has not believed until he is happy with Allahazwj with regards to whatever Allahazwj has Done for him, and what he has done for Himazwj in accordance with what Heazwj Likes and Dislikes. And Allahazwj does not Do with the one who is patient and happy with Allahazwj except that which he is deserving of, and that which is better for him, from what he likes or dislikes.

وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ الْوُسْطَى وَ قُومُوا لِلَّهِ قانِتِينَ كَمَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي كِتَابِهِ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ

And it is for you to “[2:238] Attend constantly to prayers and to the middle prayer and stand up truly obedient to Allah”, just as Allahazwj has Commanded the Believers in Hisazwj Book which is in front of you.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحُبِّ الْمَسَاكِينِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ حَقَّرَهُمْ وَ تَكَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَدْ زَلَّ عَنْ دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ لَهُ حَاقِرٌ مَاقِتٌ وَ قَدْ قَالَ أَبُونَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي بِحُبِّ الْمَسَاكِينِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ مَنْ حَقَّرَ أَحَداً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَلْقَى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الْمَقْتَ مِنْهُ وَ الْمَحْقَرَةَ حَتَّى يَمْقُتَهُ النَّاسُ وَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَشَدُّ مَقْتاً

And beware, and it is for you to love the poor Muslims, for the one who considers them to be lowly due to his own arrogance, so he has slipped from the Religion of Allahazwj, and Allahazwj has for him (a situation of) lowliness and hate. And the Messengersaww of Allahazwj has said: ‘Mysaww Lordazwj has Commanded mesaww to love the poor among the Muslims’. And know, that the one who belittles anyone from the Muslims will meet Allahazwj having Hatred towards him and lowliness from Himazwj to the extent that the people will hate him and Allahazwj will have intense Hatred towards him.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي إِخْوَانِكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْمَسَاكِينِ فَإِنَّ لَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقّاً أَنْ تُحِبُّوهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَ رَسُولَهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِحُبِّهِمْ فَمَنْ لَمْ يُحِبَّ مَنْ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِحُبِّهِ فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ مَنْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ مِنَ الْغَاوِينَ

Fear Allahazwj with regards to your brothers who are poor Muslims, for they have a right over you that you should love them. Allahazwj Commanded Hisazwj Messengersaww to love them, so the one who does not love the one whom Allahazwj has Commanded to love, so he has disobeyed Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and the one who disobeys Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww and dies upon that, would have died whilst being from the misguided ones.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْعَظَمَةَ وَ الْكِبْرَ فَإِنَّ الْكِبْرَ رِدَاءُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَنْ نَازَعَ اللَّهَ رِدَاءَهُ خَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ أَذَلَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

And beware of (considering for yourself) greatness and arrogance, for the Arrogance is the Robe of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, so the one who disputed with Allahazwj for Hisazwj Robe, Allahazwj will Reduce him and Disgrace him on the Day of Judgement.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ يَبْغِيَ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ مِنْ خِصَالِ الصَّالِحِينَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ بَغَى صَيَّرَ اللَّهُ بَغْيَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ صَارَتْ نُصْرَةُ اللَّهِ لِمَنْ بُغِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ غَلَبَ وَ أَصَابَ الظَّفَرَ مِنَ اللَّهِ

And beware of injustices of some of you against the others, for it is not from the characteristics of the righteous. The one who is unjust, Allahazwj will Turn his injustice against his own self, and Make Hisazwj Help to be for the one who he was unjust to, and the one whom Allahazwj Helps will overcome and be of the group of winners from Allahazwj.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ يَحْسُدَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً فَإِنَّ الْكُفْرَ أَصْلُهُ الْحَسَدُ

And beware of the envying of some of you against the others, for the disbelief is the origin of the envy.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تُعِينُوا عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ مَظْلُومٍ فَيَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ يُسْتَجَابَ لَهُ فِيكُمْ فَإِنَّ أَبَانَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ دَعْوَةَ الْمُسْلِمِ الْمَظْلُومِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ وَ لْيُعِنْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً فَإِنَّ أَبَانَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ مَعُونَةَ الْمُسْلِمِ خَيْرٌ وَ أَعْظَمُ أَجْراً مِنْ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَ اعْتِكَافِهِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ

And beware of helping against an oppressed Muslim, for he would supplicate to Allahazwj against you and Heazwj would Answer him regarding you. Ourasws forefathersaww the Messengersaww of Allahazwj used to say that: ‘The supplication of an oppressed Muslims gets Answered’.  And help each other, for ourasws forefathersaww, the Messengersaww of Allahazwj used to say that: ‘Helping a Muslim is better and greater in Reward than the Fasting for a month, and seclusion (Al-I’tikaaf) in the Masjid Al-Haraam (The Sacred Masjid).

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ إِعْسَارَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَنْ تُعْسِرُوهُ بِالشَّيْ‏ءِ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ قِبَلَهُ وَ هُوَ مُعْسِرٌ فَإِنَّ أَبَانَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ لِمُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُعْسِرَ مُسْلِماً وَ مَنْ أَنْظَرَ مُعْسِراً أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ بِظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ

And beware of creating difficulties for anyone from your Muslim brothers if he owes you anything from before and he is insolvent, for ourasws forefather the Messengersaww of Allahazwj used to say: ‘It is not for a Muslim to make difficulties for a Muslim, and the one who is considerate to the insolvent will be Shaded by Allahazwj by a shade on the Day in which there will no shade except for Hisazwj Shade’.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِصَابَةُ الْمَرْحُومَةُ الْمُفَضَّلَةُ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهَا وَ حَبْسَ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ قِبَلَكُمْ يَوْماً بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ وَ سَاعَةً بَعْدَ سَاعَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ عَجَّلَ حُقُوقَ اللَّهِ قِبَلَهُ كَانَ اللَّهُ أَقْدَرَ عَلَى التَّعْجِيلِ لَهُ إِلَى مُضَاعَفَةِ الْخَيْرِ فِي الْعَاجِلِ وَ الْآجِلِ وَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ أَخَّرَ حُقُوقَ اللَّهِ قِبَلَهُ كَانَ اللَّهُ أَقْدَرَ عَلَى تَأْخِيرِ رِزْقِهِ وَ مَنْ حَبَسَ اللَّهُ رِزْقَهُ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ أَنْ يَرْزُقَ نَفْسَهُ فَأَدُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ مَا رَزَقَكُمْ يُطَيِّبِ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ بَقِيَّتَهُ وَ يُنْجِزْ لَكُمْ مَا وَعَدَكُمْ مِنْ مُضَاعَفَتِهِ لَكُمُ الْأَضْعَافَ الْكَثِيرَةَ الَّتِي لَا يَعْلَمُ عَدَدَهَا وَ لَا كُنْهَ فَضْلِهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And beware, O group under the Mercy and preferred ones over the others, of withholding the Rights of Allahazwj before you, day after day and hour after hour, for the one who makes haste in (giving) the Rights of Allahazwj which are in front of him, then Allahazwj has the Power over the Hastening to him for the multiplication of the good, either immediately or later on.  And the one who delays the Rights of Allahazwj, then Allahazwj has the Power over Delaying his sustenance, and the one from whom Allahazwj Withholds his sustenance, he would not have the ability to sustain himself. So give to Allahazwj the Right from what Heazwj has Granted you so that Heazwj would Purify for you the remainder of it, and Complete for you from the Multiplication for you, the excessive Multiplication, the count of which is not known to any but Himazwj, or its virtues, the Lordazwj of the Worlds’.

وَ قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ أَيَّتُهَا الْعِصَابَةُ وَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ مِنْكُمْ مُحْرِجُ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنَّ مُحْرِجَ الْإِمَامِ هُوَ الَّذِي يَسْعَى بِأَهْلِ الصَّلَاحِ مِنْ أَتْبَاعِ الْإِمَامِ الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لِفَضْلِهِ الصَّابِرِينَ عَلَى أَدَاءِ حَقِّهِ الْعَارِفِينَ لِحُرْمَتِهِ

And heasws said: ‘Fear Allahazwj, O group, if you could, and dont be an embarrassment for the Imamasws, for the one who causes embarrassment for the Imamasws, he is the one who discredits the righteous people, the ones who follow the Imamasws of the Muslims for hisasws virtues, the patient ones upon the payment of hisasws rights, the ones who understand hisasws sanctity.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ نَزَلَ بِذَلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ فَهُوَ مُحْرِجُ الْإِمَامِ فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ أَحْرَجَ الْإِمَامَ إِلَى أَنْ يَلْعَنَ أَهْلَ الصَّلَاحِ مِنْ أَتْبَاعِهِ الْمُسَلِّمِينَ لِفَضْلِهِ الصَّابِرِينَ عَلَى أَدَاءِ حَقِّهِ الْعَارِفِينَ بِحُرْمَتِهِ فَإِذَا لَعَنَهُمْ لِإِحْرَاجِ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ الْإِمَامَ صَارَتْ لَعْنَتُهُ رَحْمَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ صَارَتِ اللَّعْنَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ رُسُلِهِ عَلَى أُولَئِكَ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَيَّتُهَا الْعِصَابَةُ أَنَّ السُّنَّةَ مِنَ اللَّهِ قَدْ جَرَتْ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلُ

And know, that the one who descends to that level with (respect) the Imamasws, so he has embarrassed the Imamasws (by associating himself with himasws) He would do that by cursing the righteous people the ones who (strictly) follow himasws from the Muslims for their virtues, the patient ones upon the paying of hisasws rights, the ones who have recognised hisasws sanctity, so his curse against (the pious ones) is for the enemies of Allahazwj, as the Imamasws converts that curse into Mercy from Allahazwj upon them (the pious ones), and turns the Curse from Allahazwj and from the Angels, and from Hisazwj Messengersaww upon them (the deniers). And know, O group, that the Sunnah from Allahazwj has flowed within the righteous ones before’.

وَ قَالَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ حَقّاً حَقّاً فَلْيَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ لْيَبْرَأْ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَ يُسَلِّمُ لِمَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ لِأَنَّ فَضْلَهُمْ لَا يَبْلُغُهُ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ لَا مَنْ دُونَ ذَلِكَ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِ أَتْبَاعِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَاةِ وَ هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ قَالَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً

And heasws said: ‘The one who wishes to meet Allahazwj as a Believer, ‘Haqqan’ Haqqan’ (surely and truly), so he should befriend Allahazwj, and Hisazwj Messenger, and those who believedasws, and should distance himself from theirasws enemies, and accept whatever that has ended up with him from theirasws virtues, because theirasws virtues cannot be comprehended by the ‘مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ’ Angels of Proximity, or ‘نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ’[3] the Messenger Prophetsas, but some among them. Have you not heard what Allahazwj has Mentioned from the virtues of following the Imamsasws of Guidance, and they are the Believers? Heazwj Said: “[4:69] And whoever obeys Allah and the Messenger, these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favors from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the good, and a goodly company are they!”

فَهَذَا وَجْهٌ مِنْ وُجُوهِ فَضْلِ أَتْبَاعِ الْأَئِمَّةِ فَكَيْفَ بِهِمْ وَ فَضْلِهِمْ وَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يُتِمَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ إِيمَانَهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ مُؤْمِناً حَقّاً حَقّاً فَلْيَفِ لِلَّهِ بِشُرُوطِهِ الَّتِي اشْتَرَطَهَا عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّهُ قَدِ اشْتَرَطَ مَعَ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ وَلَايَةِ رَسُولِهِ وَ وَلَايَةِ أَئِمَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِقَامَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ إِيتَاءَ الزَّكَاةِ وَ إِقْرَاضَ اللَّهِ قَرْضاً حَسَناً وَ اجْتِنَابَ الْفَوَاحِشِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ

This is just one perspective from the perspectives of the virtues of following the Imamsasws, so how can others (comprehend) themasws and theirasws virtues? And the one who wishes that Allahazwj should Complete for him his faith and he becomes a devout and true Believer, he should fulfill to Allahazwj Hisazwj Conditions which Heazwj has Placed upon the Believers. Heazwj has Placed the conditions of Hisazwj Wilayah along with the Wilayah of Hisazwj Messengersaww, and the Wilayah of the Imamsasws of the Believers. He should establish the Prayer, and give the Zakaat, and give to Allahazwj goodly loans (Karza e Hasana), and avoid the immoralities, both openly as well as discreetly. 

فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِمَّا فُسِّرَ مِمَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ دَخَلَ فِي جُمْلَةِ قَوْلِهِ فَمَنْ دَانَ اللَّهَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ مُخْلِصاً لِلَّهِ وَ لَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي تَرْكِ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ هَذَا فَهُوَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فِي حِزْبِهِ الْغَالِبِينَ وَ هُوَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً

There does not remain anything from the detail of what Allahazwj has Prohibited, except that it is included in its entirety in Hisazwj Statement. So the one who makes it to be his Religion in what is between himself and Allahazwj, being sincere to Allahazwj, and does not authorise for himself to ignore anything from this, so he is, in the Sight of Allahazwj, in Hisazwj Triumphant Party, and he is from the true Believers.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْإِصْرَارَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فِي ظَهْرِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ بَطْنِهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ لَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلى ما فَعَلُوا وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ إِلَى هَاهُنَا رِوَايَةُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ رَبِيعٍ يَعْنِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ إِذَا نَسُوا شَيْئاً مِمَّا اشْتَرَطَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْ عَصَوُا اللَّهَ فِي تَرْكِهِمْ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْ‏ءَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا وَ لَمْ يَعُودُوا إِلَى تَرْكِهِ فَذَلِكَ مَعْنَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ لَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلى ما فَعَلُوا وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

And beware of insisting upon something from what Allahazwj has Prohibited in the Apparent of the Quran and its Hidden. And Allahazwj the High has Said: “[3:135] and (who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done” (Up to this point it is the narration of Al-Qasim Bin Rabi’e). It means that the Believers before them, when they forgot something from what Conditions Allahazwj had Placed upon them in Hisazwj Book, would come to the realisation that they had disobeyed Allahazwj in their avoidance of that thing. So they would seek Forgiveness and would not repeat it. So that is the meaning of the Statement of Allahazwj: “[3:135] and (who) do not knowingly persist in what they have done”.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا أَمَرَ وَ نَهَى لِيُطَاعَ فِيمَا أَمَرَ بِهِ وَ لِيُنْتَهَى عَمَّا نَهَى عَنْهُ فَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ أَمْرَهُ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَهُ وَ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ عِنْدَهُ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ عَمَّا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَدْ عَصَاهُ فَإِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِهِ أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي النَّارِ

And know that Heazwj has Commanded and Prohibited, so that there should be obedience in what Heazwj has Commanded for, and avoidance in what Heazwj has Prohibited from. So the one who has followed Hisazwj Commands has obeyed Himazwj, and has realised everything from the good, which is with Himazwj, and the one who did not avoid what Allahazwj has Prohibited from, so he has disobeyed Himazwj. So if he were to die upon being disobedient to Himazwj, Allahazwj will Fling him upon his face in the Fire.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ لَا مَنْ دُونَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ كُلِّهِمْ إِلَّا طَاعَتُهُمْ لَهُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ إِنْ سَرَّكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً حَقّاً وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

And know, that there is nothing else between Allahazwj and anyone from Hisazwj creatures, Angels of Proximity, or Messenger Prophetsas, or all others apart from that, except for their obedience to Himazwj. So strive in being obedient to Allahazwj, if you wish to become true Believers, truly, and there is not Strength except by Allahazwj’.

وَ قَالَ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِطَاعَةِ رَبِّكُمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ رَبُّكُمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ هُوَ التَّسْلِيمُ وَ التَّسْلِيمَ هُوَ الْإِسْلَامُ فَمَنْ سَلَّمَ فَقَدْ أَسْلَمَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُسَلِّمْ فَلَا إِسْلَامَ لَهُ وَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يُبْلِغَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ فِي الْإِحْسَانِ فَلْيُطِعِ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ فَقَدْ أَبْلَغَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ فِي الْإِحْسَانِ

And heasws said: ‘And it is for you to obey your Lordazwj in accordance with your abilities, for Allahazwj is your Lordazwj. And know that the Islam is the submission, and the submission is the Islam. So the one who submits, so he has Islam, and the one who does not submit, there is no Islam to him. And the one wishes to do himself a favour, so he should obey Allahazwj, for the one who has obeyed Allahazwj has indeed done himself a favour.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ مَعَاصِيَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوهَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنِ انْتَهَكَ مَعَاصِيَ اللَّهِ فَرَكِبَهَا فَقَدْ أَبْلَغَ فِي الْإِسَاءَةِ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ الْإِسَاءَةِ مَنْزِلَةٌ فَلِأَهْلِ الْإِحْسَانِ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ لِأَهْلِ الْإِسَاءَةِ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمُ النَّارُ فَاعْمَلُوا بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اجْتَنِبُوا مَعَاصِيَهُ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ يُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ شَيْئاً لَا مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ لَا مَنْ دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَمَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ تَنْفَعَهُ شَفَاعَةُ الشَّافِعِينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَلْيَطْلُبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَرْضَى عَنْهُ

And beware of being disobedient to Allahazwj if you were to do it. The one who violated by being disobedient to Allahazwj, so he has disfavoured himself, and there is no station between favour and disfavour. For the ones who have done a favour in the Sight of their Lordazwj, is Paradise, and for the ones who have violated in the Sight of their Lordazwj, is the Fire. So, know that you have to be obedient to Allahazwj and avoid being disobedient to Himazwj. And know, that there is none who is needless of Allahazwj from Hisazwj creatures, neither the Angels of Proximity, nor the Messenger Prophetsas, nor anyone other than that. So the one who wishes that he should benefit from the intercession of the intercessors in the Presence of Allahazwj, so he should seek to Please Allahazwj.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ لَمْ يُصِبْ رِضَا اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِهِ وَ طَاعَةِ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِهِ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مَعْصِيَتُهُمْ مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ لَمْ يُنْكِرْ لَهُمْ فَضْلًا عَظُمَ أَوْ صَغُرَ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْمُنْكِرِينَ هُمُ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ وَ أَنَّ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ هُمُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ إِنَّ الْمُنافِقِينَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ لَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُمْ نَصِيراً

And know that no one from the creatures of Allahazwj can achieve the Pleasure of Allahazwj except by being obedient to Himazwj, and being obedient to Hisazwj Messengersaww, and being obedient to the Masters of the Commandasws (Wali Al-Amrasws) from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and that the disobedience to themasws is disobedient to Allahazwj. And do not deny theirasws virtues, be they great or small. And know, that the deniers are the liars, they are the hypocrites, and that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said for the hypocrites, and Hisazwj Words are true, that: “[4:145] Surely the hypocrites are in the lowest stage of the fire and you shall not find a helper for them”.

وَ لَا يَفْرَقَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ أَلْزَمَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ طَاعَتَهُ وَ خَشْيَتَهُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ مِمَّنْ أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ صِفَةِ الْحَقِّ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ صِفَةِ الْحَقِّ فَأُولَئِكَ هُمْ شَيَاطِينُ الْإِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ وَ إِنَّ لِشَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ حِيلَةً وَ مَكْراً وَ خَدَائِعَ وَ وَسْوَسَةً بَعْضِهِمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ يُرِيدُونَ إِنِ اسْتَطَاعُوا أَنْ يَرُدُّوا أَهْلَ الْحَقِّ عَمَّا أَكْرَمَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ النَّظَرِ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ شَيَاطِينَ الْإِنْسِ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ إِرَادَةَ أَنْ يَسْتَوِيَ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ أَهْلُ الْحَقِّ فِي الشَّكِّ وَ الْإِنْكَارِ وَ التَّكْذِيبِ فَيَكُونُونَ سَوَاءً كَمَا وَصَفَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ وَدُّوا لَوْ تَكْفُرُونَ كَما كَفَرُوا فَتَكُونُونَ سَواءً ثُمَّ نَهَى اللَّهُ أَهْلَ النَّصْرِ بِالْحَقِّ أَنْ يَتَّخِذُوا مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ وَلِيّاً وَ لَا نَصِيراً

And let no one from among you, whom Allahazwj has Necessitated upon his heart, obedience to Himazwj and being humble to Himazwj, should fear any one from the people from whom Allahazwj has Removed the qualities of the truth and did not Make him to be deserving of it. So the one whom Allahazwj has not Made to be deserving of the qualities of the truth, so these are the hypocrites, these are the Satansla among the Humans and the Jinn. And it is the Satansla among the Humans that trick, and plot, and deceive, and whisper (cast doubts) from some of them to the others, attempting to divert the people of the truth, whom Allahazwj has Honoured by Granting them the insight into the Religion of Allahazwj, and insight which Allahazwj has not Considered the Satansla among the Humans to be deserving of it, Intending thereby not to equalise the enemies of Allahazwj to the people of the truth, with regards to the doubt, and the denial, and the belying to end up being equal as Allahazwj the High has Described in Hisazwj Book: “[4:89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike”. Then Allahazwj prohibited the people of the truth that they should take the enemies of Allahazwj as guardians or as helpers.

فَلَا يُهَوِّلَنَّكُمْ وَ لَا يَرُدَّنَّكُمْ عَنِ النَّصْرِ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي خَصَّكُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنْ حِيلَةِ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ وَ مَكْرِهِمْ مِنْ أُمُورِكُمْ تَدْفَعُونَ أَنْتُمُ السَّيِّئَةَ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ تَلْتَمِسُونَ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ رَبِّكُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ هُمْ لَا خَيْرَ عِنْدَهُمْ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُظْهِرُوهُمْ عَلَى أُصُولِ دِينِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُمْ إِنْ سَمِعُوا مِنْكُمْ فِيهِ شَيْئاً عَادَوْكُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَفَعُوهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ جَهَدُوا عَلَى هَلَاكِكُمْ وَ اسْتَقْبَلُوكُمْ بِمَا تَكْرَهُونَ

So do not let them scare you, and do not let them repulse you all from the consideration by the truth which Allahazwj has Specialised you with from the tricks of the Satansla from the Humans, and their plots in your affairs. You should repel the bad by that which is good in what is between you and them, seeking by that the Pleasure of your Lordazwj by being obedient to Himazwj. And they are such that there is no good with them.

It is not permissible for you to display to them the Principles of the Religion of Allahazwj (Usool Al-Deen[4]) for they are such that they would hear something from you, be inimical against you, and raise (the issue) against you, and strive for destroying you, and place in front of you that which you dislike.

وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكُمُ النَّصَفَةُ مِنْهُمْ فِي دُوَلِ الْفُجَّارِ فَاعْرِفُوا مَنْزِلَتَكُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَهْلِ الْحَقِّ أَنْ يُنْزِلُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ مَنْزِلَةَ أَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ أَهْلَ الْحَقِّ عِنْدَهُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ أَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ أَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا وَجْهَ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ إِذْ يَقُولُ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ كَالْمُفْسِدِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَمْ نَجْعَلُ الْمُتَّقِينَ كَالْفُجَّارِ أَكْرِمُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلُوا اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ لَهُ الْمَثَلُ الْأَعْلَى وَ إِمَامَكُمْ وَ دِينَكُمُ الَّذِي تَدِينُونَ بِهِ عُرْضَةً لِأَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ فَتُغْضِبُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَهْلِكُوا فَمَهْلًا مَهْلًا

And there is no remedy for you from them in the government of the corrupts. So understand your status in what is between you and the people of the falsehood, for it does not befit the people of the truth to descend to the level of the people of the falsehood. (This is due to the fact) that Allahazwj did not Make for the people of the falsehood who does not understand Hisazwj Perspective, the status which is with Himazwj for the people of the truth.

The Statement of Allahazwj in Hisazwj Book where Heazwj Said: “[38:28] Shall We treat those who believe and work deeds of righteousness, the same as those who do mischief on earth? Shall We treat those who guard against evil, the same as those who turn aside from the right?” Heazwj has Honoured yourselves rather than the people of the falsehood. And do not make Allahazwj Blessed and High, and for Himazwj is the Highest Example, and your Imamsasws, and the Religion which you have made it to be for yourselves, to be exposed (vulnerable) to the people of the falsehood. Allahazwj would be Angered against you, so you will perish. So, do not do it, do not do it (strictly observe Taqeeya).

يَا أَهْلَ الصَّلَاحِ لَا تَتْرُكُوا أَمْرَ اللَّهِ وَ أَمْرَ مَنْ أَمَرَكُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِ فَيُغَيِّرَ اللَّهُ مَا بِكُمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَحِبُّوا فِي اللَّهِ مَنْ وَصَفَ صِفَتَكُمْ وَ أَبْغِضُوا فِي اللَّهِ مَنْ خَالَفَكُمْ وَ ابْذُلُوا مَوَدَّتَكُمْ وَ نَصِيحَتَكُمْ [لِمَنْ وَصَفَ صِفَتَكُمْ] وَ لَا تَبْتَذِلُوهَا لِمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ صِفَتِكُمْ وَ عَادَاكُمْ عَلَيْهَا وَ بَغَى لَكُمُ الْغَوَائِلَ هَذَا أَدَبُنَا أَدَبُ اللَّهِ فَخُذُوا بِهِ وَ تَفَهَّمُوهُ وَ اعْقِلُوهُ وَ لَا تَنْبِذُوهُ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْ مَا وَافَقَ هُدَاكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ بِهِ وَ مَا وَافَقَ هَوَاكُمْ طَرَحْتُمُوهُ وَ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا بِهِ

O righteous people! Do not abandon the Commands of Allahazwj, and the Command from your affairs for the obedience to Himazwj, lest Allahazwj Alters the Blessings for you. Love for the sake of Allahazwj (the ones of similar qualities to yourselves), and hate for the Sake of Allahazwj the ones who oppose you. And extend your cordiality and your advice to the ones who possess your qualities, and do not extend it to the ones who have abandoned your qualities, and are inimical towards you, and rebel against you, and wish for calamities to befall upon you. This is ourasws education which Allahazwj Has Educated usasws with. So take to it, and understand it and fetter it (to yourselves), and do not throw it behind your backs, whatever is compatible with your guidance and take to it, and whatever is along the lines of your own desires, discard it and do not follow it.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ التَّجَبُّرَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ عَبْداً لَمْ يُبْتَلَ بِالتَّجَبُّرِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا تَجَبَّرَ عَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَقِيمُوا لِلَّهِ وَ لَا تَرْتَدُّوا عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ فَتَنْقَلِبُوا خَاسِرِينَ أَجَارَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ التَّجَبُّرِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ لَنَا وَ لَكُمْ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

And beware of the arrogance against Allahazwj, and know that a servant is not afflicted by the arrogance against Allahazwj except that he is arrogant against the Religion of Allahazwj. Be upright for the Sake of Allahazwj and do not turn back upon your heels, for your will have turn back as losers. May Allahazwj Protect us. And beware from the arrogance against Allahazwj, and there is not strength for usasws or for you except by Allahazwj’.

وَ قَالَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا كَانَ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْأَصْلِ أَصْلِ الْخَلْقِ مُؤْمِناً لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُكَرِّهَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ الشَّرَّ وَ يُبَاعِدَهُ عَنْهُ وَ مَنْ كَرَّهَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ الشَّرَّ وَ بَاعَدَهُ عَنْهُ عَافَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ وَ الْجَبْرِيَّةِ فَلَانَتْ عَرِيكَتُهُ وَ حَسُنَ خُلُقُهُ وَ طَلُقَ وَجْهُهُ وَ صَارَ عَلَيْهِ وَقَارُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ سَكِينَتُهُ وَ تَخَشُّعُهُ وَ وَرِعَ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ وَ اجْتَنَبَ مَسَاخِطَهُ وَ رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ مَوَدَّةَ النَّاسِ وَ مُجَامَلَتَهُمْ وَ تَرْكَ مُقَاطَعَةِ النَّاسِ وَ الْخُصُومَاتِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْهَا وَ لَا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ

And heasws said: ‘If Allahazwj had Created a servant originally, in the original creation as a Believer, he will never die until Allahazwj Makes him to detest the evil and he distances himself from it, and the one whom Allahazwj has Made to detest the evil and he distances himself from it, Allahazwj will Cure him from the arrogance and the forcefulness which has entered into him. So his nature becomes soft, and his morals beautiful, and his face bright, and the reverence of Islam comes to him, and tranquility, and the humbleness, and he restrains himself from the Prohibitions of Allahazwj and avoids Hisazwj Harshness. And Allahazwj Grants to him the sustenance of the cordiality of the people, and intermingling with them, and avoidance of the cutting off from the people, and the rivalries, and does not get involved with anything from it or the likes of it in anything.

وَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا كَانَ اللَّهُ خَلَقَهُ فِي الْأَصْلِ [أَصْلِ الْخَلْقِ] كَافِراً لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُحَبِّبَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّرَّ وَ يُقَرِّبَهُ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا حَبَّبَ إِلَيْهِ الشَّرَّ وَ قَرَّبَهُ مِنْهُ ابْتُلِيَ بِالْكِبْرِ وَ الْجَبْرِيَّةِ فَقَسَا قَلْبُهُ وَ سَاءَ خُلُقُهُ وَ غَلُظَ وَجْهُهُ وَ ظَهَرَ فُحْشُهُ وَ قَلَّ حَيَاؤُهُ وَ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ سِتْرَهُ وَ رَكِبَ الْمَحَارِمَ فَلَمْ يَنْزِعْ عَنْهَا وَ رَكِبَ مَعَاصِيَ اللَّهِ وَ أَبْغَضَ طَاعَتَهُ وَ أَهْلَهَا فَبُعْدٌ مَا بَيْنَ حَالِ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ حَالِ الْكَافِرِ سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ اطْلُبُوهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

However, if Allahazwj had Created a servant originally, in the original creation as an infidel, he will never die until he loves the evil and goes near to it. So if the evil becomes beloved to him and he goes near to it, he gets involved in the infidelity, and the forcefulness. So his heart hardens, and his morals deteriorate, and his face darkens, his immorality gets displayed, and his shame becomes little, and Allahazwj Uncovers his veil, and he rides upon the Prohibitions. So he never ceases from these tendencies and rides upon the disobedience to Allahazwj, and hates to obey Himazwj, and the obedient ones. So the condition of the Believers and the condition of the infidel are in contradiction. Ask Allahazwj for health, and seek it from Himazwj, and there is not Might nor Strength except by Allahazwj.

صَبِّرُوا النَّفْسَ عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ تَتَابُعَ الْبَلَاءِ فِيهَا وَ الشِّدَّةَ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ وَلَايَةِ مَنْ أَمَرَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ خَيْرٌ عَاقِبَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ مُلْكِ الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنْ طَالَ تَتَابُعُ نَعِيمِهَا وَ زَهْرَتِهَا وَ غَضَارَةُ عَيْشِهَا فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ وَلَايَةِ مَنْ نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَ بِوَلَايَةِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الَّذِينَ سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي قَوْلِهِ وَ جَعَلْناهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَهْدُونَ بِأَمْرِنا وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِوَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ الَّذِينَ نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْ وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ هُمْ أَئِمَّةُ الضَّلَالَةِ الَّذِينَ قَضَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمْ دُوَلٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي دُولَتِهِمْ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَعْصِيَةِ رَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِيَحِقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ الْعَذَابِ وَ لِيَتِمَّ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مَعَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ الرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ

Observe patience upon the afflictions in the world if you are followed by the afflictions, and intensify the obedience to Allahazwj, and Hisazwj Wilayah, and the Wilayah of the onesasws Heazwj has Commanded for, it is the better result with Allahazwj in the Hereafter, than the kingdom of the world, even though its bounties, and its flowers, and its affluence may be prolonged in the disobedience to Allahazwj, and in the Wilayah of the oneasws whom Allahazwj has Forbidden from being in his Wilayah, and in his obedience.

Allahazwj has Commanded for the Wilayah of the Imamsasws whom Allahazwj has Names in Hisazwj Book in Hisazwj Statement: “[21:73] And We made them Imams who guided (people) by Our command” and theyasws are the onesasws for whomasws Allahazwj has Commanded the Wilayah for, and to be in theirasws obedience. And the ones whom Allahazwj has Forbidden to be in their wilayah, these are the imams of misguidance, for whom Allahazwj has Decreed for them the governance in the world over the friends of Allahazwj and the Imamsasws from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww.

They act in disobedience to Allahazwj in their governments, and in disobedience to Hisazwj Messengersaww so that the Words of the Punishment become reality against them, and that you can end up being with the Prophetsaww of Allahazwj Muhammadsaww and the Messengersas before himsaww.

فَتَدَبَّرُوا مَا قَصَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي كِتَابِهِ مِمَّا ابْتَلَى بِهِ أَنْبِيَاءَهُ وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ سَلُوا اللَّهَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَكُمُ الصَّبْرَ عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَ الضَّرَّاءِ وَ الشِّدَّةِ وَ الرَّخَاءِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي أَعْطَاهُمْ

So ponder over what stories Allahazwj has Related to you in Hisazwj Book of the trials which the Hisazwj Prophetsas were Tested by, and the Believers followed themsa. Then ask Allahazwj to Grant you patience upon the affliction in the thick and thin, and the difficulties, and the prosperity, similar to which was Given to them. 

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ مُمَاظَّةَ أَهْلِ الْبَاطِلِ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهُدَى الصَّالِحِينَ وَ وَقَارِهِمْ وَ سَكِينَتِهِمْ وَ حِلْمِهِمْ وَ تَخَشُّعِهِمْ وَ وَرَعِهِمْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ وَ صِدْقِهِمْ وَ وَفَائِهِمْ وَ اجْتِهَادِهِمْ لِلَّهِ فِي الْعَمَلِ بِطَاعَتِهِ فَإِنَّكُمْ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا ذَلِكَ لَمْ تُنْزَلُوا عِنْدَ رَبِّكُمْ مَنْزِلَةَ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ

And beware of debating with the people of the falsehood. And it is for you to follow the guidance of the righteous ones, and their dignified (manners), and their tranquility, and their forbearance, and their humbleness, and their distancing themselves from the Prohibitions of Allahazwj, and their truthfulness, and their loyalty, and their struggle for the Sake of Allahazwj in the deeds by being obedient to Himazwj. So if you were not to do that, then you will never rise to the status of the righteous ones from before you have with your Lordazwj.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً شَرَحَ صَدْرَهُ لِلْإِسْلَامِ فَإِذَا أَعْطَاهُ ذَلِكَ أَنْطَقَ لِسَانَهُ بِالْحَقِّ وَ عَقَدَ قَلْبَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَعَمِلَ بِهِ فَإِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ تَمَّ لَهُ إِسْلَامُهُ وَ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْحَالِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَقّاً

And know that if Allahazwj Intends good for a servant, Heazwj opens his chest for the Islam. So Heazwj Grants him that he will speak the truth by his tongue, and bind his heart to him so that he will act in accordance with it. So if Allahazwj Gathers that to him, Heazwj Completes for him, his Islam, and if he were to die whilst being upon that, he would have died as being one of the true Muslims.

وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً وَكَلَهُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ كَانَ صَدْرُهُ ضَيِّقاً حَرَجاً فَإِنْ جَرَى عَلَى لِسَانِهِ حَقٌّ لَمْ يُعْقَدْ قَلْبُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يُعْقَدْ قَلْبُهُ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ اللَّهُ الْعَمَلَ بِهِ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَ هُوَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ كَانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ صَارَ مَا جَرَى عَلَى لِسَانِهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ الَّذِي لَمْ يُعْطِهِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعْقَدَ قَلْبُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ الْعَمَلَ بِهِ حُجَّةً عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

And if Allahazwj does not Intend good for a servant, Heazwj Leaves him to his own self, and his chest becomes constricted and an embarrassment for him. If a true (word) flows from his tongue, his heart does not accept it from him, and if his heart does not accept it from him, he does not follow Allahazwj and acts in accordance with it. So if that is gathered to him until he dies whilst being upon that condition, he, then, will be of the hypocrites with Allahazwj. And all that flowed upon his tongues from the truth which he did not follow Allahazwj and his heart did not accept it from him, and he did not act in accordance with it, would be a proof against him on the Day of Judgement.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ سَلُوهُ أَنْ يَشْرَحَ صُدُورَكُمْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ تَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ حَتَّى يَتَوَفَّيكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ مُنْقَلَبَكُمْ مُنْقَلَبَ الصَّالِحِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

So fear Allahazwj and ask Himazwj that Heazwj should Open your chests for the Islam, and that Heazwj should Make your tongues to speak with the truth until you die whilst being upon that, and that Heazwj should Make your return (to the Hereafter to be like the) returning of the righteous ones before you. And there is not Strength except by Allahazwj, and Praise is due to Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the worlds.

وَ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّهُ فَلْيَعْمَلْ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ لْيَتَّبِعْنَا أَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ

And the one who wishes that he should know whether Allahazwj Loves him, so he should act in obedience to Allahazwj and follow usasws. Have you not heard the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic to Hisazwj Prophetsaww: “[3:31] Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you and forgive you your faults, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful”

وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُطِيعُ اللَّهَ عَبْدٌ أَبَداً إِلَّا أَدْخَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي طَاعَتِهِ اتِّبَاعَنَا وَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَتَّبِعُنَا عَبْدٌ أَبَداً إِلَّا أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَدَعُ أَحَدٌ اتِّبَاعَنَا أَبَداً إِلَّا أَبْغَضَنَا وَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُبْغِضُنَا أَحَدٌ أَبَداً إِلَّا عَصَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَاصِياً لِلَّهِ أَخْزَاهُ اللَّهُ وَ أَكَبَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي النَّارِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ .

By Allahazwj, no servant will be in obedience to Allahazwj ever until Allahazwj Makes him to be included along with obedience to Himazwj, obedience to usasws. And, by Allahazwj, no servant will be following usasws ever until Allahazwj Loves him. And, by Allahazwj, no servant leaves following usasws ever except that he hates usasws. And, by Allahazwj, no one ever hates usasws except that he disobeys Allahazwj. And the one who dies whilst being in disobedience to Allahazwj, Allahazwj will Disgrace him and Fling him upon his face in the Fire. And Praise is due to Allahazwj, the Lordazwj of the worlds’.

صَحِيفَةُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ كَلَامُهُ فِي الزُّهْدِ      

THE PARCHMENT OF ALI BIN AL-HUSAYNasws AND HISasws SPEECH REGARDING THE ASCETISM

14450-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ مَا سَمِعْتُ بِأَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ كَانَ أَزْهَدَ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَّا مَا بَلَغَنِي مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ( عليه السلام )

H 14450 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza who said, ‘I have not heard of anyone who was more ascetic (pious) than Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws except for what has reached to me from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ كَانَ الْإِمَامُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ فِي الزُّهْدِ وَ وَعَظَ أَبْكَى مَنْ بِحَضْرَتِهِ

Abu Hamza said, ‘Whenever Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws spoke regarding the ascetism (self restrain), those who were present with himasws , (their eyes) would be filled with tears’.

قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ وَ قَرَأْتُ صَحِيفَةً فِيهَا كَلَامُ زُهْدٍ مِنْ كَلَامِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ كَتَبْتُ مَا فِيهَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( صلوات الله عليه ) فَعَرَضْتُ مَا فِيهَا عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَهُ وَ صَحَّحَهُ وَ كَانَ مَا فِيهَا

Abu Hamza said, ‘And I read a Parchment in which was the speech on ascetism from the speeches of Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, and I wrote down what was in it. Then I came to Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, so I presented what was in it to himasws. Heasws recognised it, and corrected (my mistakes) from what I had (in my notes)’.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ كَفَانَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ كَيْدَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ بَغْيَ الْحَاسِدِينَ وَ بَطْشَ الْجَبَّارِينَ

In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Allahazwj is sufficient for usasws. And beware of the plots of the unjust ones, and the rebellion of the envious ones, and the threats of the aggressors.

أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَا يَفْتِنَنَّكُمُ الطَّوَاغِيتُ وَ أَتْبَاعُهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الرَّغْبَةِ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الْمَائِلُونَ إِلَيْهَا الْمُفْتَتِنُونَ بِهَا الْمُقْبِلُونَ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى حُطَامِهَا الْهَامِدِ وَ هَشِيمِهَا الْبَائِدِ غَداً وَ احْذَرُوا مَا حَذَّرَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا وَ ازْهَدُوا فِيمَا زَهَّدَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مِنْهَا وَ لَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى مَا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا رُكُونَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَهَا دَارَ قَرَارٍ وَ مَنْزِلَ اسْتِيطَانٍ

O you Believers! Do not be deceived by the tyrants and those who follow them, from the people who covet this world, those that are inclined towards it, those who have been deceived by it, those who go towards it, and to its lifeless ruins, and its chaff which will be defunct tomorrow. And be cautious of what Allahazwj has Cautioned you from it, and abstain with regards to what Allahazwj has Told you to abstain from it, and do not incline towards what is in this world, inclining like the ones who has taken it to be as a house for permanent dwelling.

وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَكُمْ مِمَّا فِيهَا عَلَيْهَا لَدَلِيلًا وَ تَنْبِيهاً مِنْ تَصْرِيفِ أَيَّامِهَا وَ تَغَيُّرِ انْقِلَابِهَا وَ مَثُلَاتِهَا وَ تَلَاعُبِهَا بِأَهْلِهَا إِنَّهَا لَتَرْفَعُ الْخَمِيلَ وَ تَضَعُ الشَّرِيفَ وَ تُورِدُ أَقْوَاماً إِلَى النَّارِ غَداً

By Allahazwj, that which is in it is evidence for you and a warning from the changing of its days, and its conditions, and its examples, and it’s playing with its people. It raises the fallen one and degrades the honourable one, and it will return its people to the Fire tomorrow.

فَفِي هَذَا مُعْتَبَرٌ وَ مُخْتَبَرٌ وَ زَاجِرٌ لِمُنْتَبِهٍ إِنَّ الْأُمُورَ الْوَارِدَةَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ مُظْلِمَاتِ الْفِتَنِ وَ حَوَادِثِ الْبِدَعِ وَ سُنَنِ الْجَوْرِ وَ بَوَائِقِ الزَّمَانِ وَ هَيْبَةِ السُّلْطَانِ وَ وَسْوَسَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ لَتُثَبِّطُ الْقُلُوبَ عَنْ تَنَبُّهِهَا وَ تُذْهِلُهَا عَنْ مَوْجُودِ الْهُدَى وَ مَعْرِفَةِ أَهْلِ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِمَّنْ عَصَمَ اللَّهُ فَلَيْسَ يَعْرِفُ تَصَرُّفَ أَيَّامِهَا وَ تَقَلُّبَ حَالَاتِهَا وَ عَاقِبَةَ ضَرَرِ فِتْنَتِهَا إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَ اللَّهُ وَ نَهَجَ سَبِيلَ الرُّشْدِ وَ سَلَكَ طَرِيقَ الْقَصْدِ

In it, there is a significant learning and warning, that the affairs which you come across every day and night from the darkness of the strife, and the new innovations, and the unjust traditions, and the commotions of the era, and the dignity of the Sultan, and the whisperings of the Satanla, all discourage the hearts from taking lessons from it, and boggle it from finding guidance, and the recognition of the people of the truth, except for a few whom Allahazwj has Protected. There is no one who will understand the changing of its days, and the alteration of its conditions, and hurtful consequences of its strife except for the one who is Protected by Allahazwj, and Makes him to approach the way of guidance, and travels on the road purposefully.

ثُمَّ اسْتَعَانَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِالزُّهْدِ فَكَرَّرَ الْفِكْرَ وَ اتَّعَظَ بِالصَّبْرِ فَازْدَجَرَ وَ زَهِدَ فِي عَاجِلِ بَهْجَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ تَجَافَى عَنْ لَذَّاتِهَا وَ رَغِبَ فِي دَائِمِ نَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ سَعَى لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَ رَاقَبَ الْمَوْتَ وَ شَنَأَ الْحَيَاةَ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ نَظَرَ إِلَى مَا فِي الدُّنْيَا بِعَيْنٍ نَيِّرَةٍ حَدِيدَةَ الْبَصَرِ وَ أَبْصَرَ حَوَادِثَ الْفِتَنِ وَ ضَلَالَ الْبِدَعِ وَ جَوْرَ الْمُلُوكِ الظَّلَمَةِ

Then (he obtains) help against that by the ascetism, frequent thinking, paying attention to patience in order to notice the warning, and abstain from the immediate delights of the world, and defy its pleasures, and desire the Eternal Bliss of the Hereafter, and strive for it a striving. And he monitors the (approach of) death and passing away of the life with the unjust people. He looks at what is in the world with an illuminated vision, and the strife-taking place, and the misguidance of the innovations, and the injustices of the unjust kings.

فَلَقَدْ لَعَمْرِي اسْتَدْبَرْتُمُ الْأُمُورَ الْمَاضِيَةَ فِي الْأَيَّامِ الْخَالِيَةِ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ الْمُتَرَاكِمَةِ وَ الِانْهِمَاكِ فِيمَا تَسْتَدِلُّونَ بِهِ عَلَى تَجَنُّبِ الْغُوَاةِ وَ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ وَ الْبَغْيِ وَ الْفَسَادِ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ فَاسْتَعِينُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَةِ مَنْ هُوَ أَوْلَى بِالطَّاعَةِ مِمَّنِ اتُّبِعَ فَأُطِيعَ

By myasws life, you have matters from the past which were from days in which were free from strife, pre-occupations and engagements which have evidenced for you on avoiding the misguided and the people of innovation (Heretics) who rebel and create mischief in the earth without any right to do so. So seek Help from Allahazwj and return to the obedience of Allahazwj and the obedience of the oneasws who is the foremost for the obedience and to be followed and obeyed.

فَالْحَذَرَ الْحَذَرَ مِنْ قَبْلِ النَّدَامَةِ وَ الْحَسْرَةِ وَ الْقُدُومِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ الْوُقُوفِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ تَاللَّهِ مَا صَدَرَ قَوْمٌ قَطُّ عَنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا إِلَى عَذَابِهِ وَ مَا آثَرَ قَوْمٌ قَطُّ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا سَاءَ مُنْقَلَبُهُمْ وَ سَاءَ مَصِيرُهُمْ وَ مَا الْعِلْمُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْعَمَلُ إِلَّا إِلْفَانِ مُؤْتَلِفَانِ فَمَنْ عَرَفَ اللَّهَ خَافَهُ وَ حَثَّهُ الْخَوْفُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّ أَرْبَابَ الْعِلْمِ وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَرَفُوا اللَّهَ فَعَمِلُوا لَهُ وَ رَغِبُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ إِنَّما يَخْشَى اللَّهَ مِنْ عِبادِهِ الْعُلَماءُ

So beware of the danger before the remorse and the regret before proceeding to Allahazwj and the pausing in front of Himazwj, and no people ever went to Allahazwj after having disobeyed Himazwj except to Hisazwj Punishment, and no people preferred the world over the Hereafter at all except that evil was their return, and evil was their journey. The Knowledge, by Allahazwj and the deeds are nothing but two harmonious matters. So the one who recognises Allahazwj fears Himazwj, and the fear urges him to the deeds in obedience to Allahazwj and that the heads of the knowledge and those that follow them recognise Allahazwj so they work (do deeds) for Himazwj and desire towards Himazwj, and Allahazwj has Said: “[35:28] Those truly fear Allah, among His Servants, who have knowledge”.

فَلَا تَلْتَمِسُوا شَيْئاً مِمَّا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اشْتَغِلُوا فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اغْتَنِمُوا أَيَّامَهَا وَ اسْعَوْا لِمَا فِيهِ نَجَاتُكُمْ غَداً مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَقَلُّ لِلتَّبِعَةِ وَ أَدْنَى مِنَ الْعُذْرِ وَ أَرْجَى لِلنَّجَاةِ فَقَدِّمُوا أَمْرَ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَةَ مَنْ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ طَاعَتَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا وَ لَا تُقَدِّمُوا الْأُمُورَ الْوَارِدَةَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ طَاعَةِ الطَّوَاغِيتِ مِنْ زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ وَ طَاعَةِ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ

So do not seek anything from this world by being disobedient to Allahazwj, and preoccupy yourselves in this world by obedience to Allahazwj, and seize its days, in a way to ensure your salvation ‘Tomorrow’ from the Punishment of Allahazwj. That is the smallest consequence and the lowest form of excuse and the hope for the salvation. So give priority to the Commands of Allahazwj and the obedience to the oneasws whose obedience Allahazwj has Made it to be more than obligatory in all the matters in front of you. Do not give priority to the commands, which come to you from being obedient to the tyrants about the attractions of this world as oppose to that of Allahazwj but rather submit to Himazwj, and to the Masters of the Commandasws (Ul Al-Amr) from among you.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ عَبِيدُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ مَعَكُمْ يَحْكُمُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَيِّدٌ حَاكِمٌ غَداً وَ هُوَ مُوقِفُكُمْ وَ مُسَائِلُكُمْ فَأَعِدُّوا الْجَوَابَ قَبْلَ الْوُقُوفِ وَ الْمُسَاءَلَةِ وَ الْعَرْضِ عَلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَا تَكَلَّمُ نَفْسٌ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ

And know that you are all servants of Allahazwj and weasws are with you. There is a Rulerazwj Who will Rule over usasws and you tomorrow, who is the Chief of the rulers. And Heazwj will Make you to pause and Question you, so prepare the answer before the pausing and the Questioning and presentation to the Lordazwj of the Worlds on the Day in which no soul shall speak except by Hisazwj Permission.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُصَدِّقُ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَاذِباً وَ لَا يُكَذِّبُ صَادِقاً وَ لَا يَرُدُّ عُذْرَ مُسْتَحِقٍّ وَ لَا يَعْذِرُ غَيْرَ مَعْذُورٍ لَهُ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ بِالرُّسُلِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَقْبِلُوا فِي إِصْلَاحِ أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَةِ مَنْ تَوَلَّوْنَهُ فِيهَا لَعَلَّ نَادِماً قَدْ نَدِمَ فِيمَا فَرَّطَ بِالْأَمْسِ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَ ضَيَّعَ مِنْ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ وَ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ وَ يَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَةِ وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ

And know that Allahazwj, on that Day, will neither Ratify a liar nor will Heazwj Belie a truthful one, nor will Heazwj Reject the excuse of a deserving one, nor Excuse the one who has no justification, as Heazwj has the Proof over Hisazwj creatures by the Messengersas and the successorsas of the Messengerssa. So fear Allahazwj, servants of Allahazwj, and welcome the correctors to yourselves, and the obedience to Allahazwj and the obedience to the onesasws whom Allahazwj has Made to be Guardians regarding it. Perhaps the remorseful ones may regret for having wasted their yesterday regarding the Side of Allahazwj (Junb Allahazwj i.e. Aliasws), and wasted the Rights of Allahazwj. And seek Forgiveness from Allahazwj and repent to Himazwj for Heazwj Accepts the repentance, and Forgives the sins and Knows what you are doing.

وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ صُحْبَةَ الْعَاصِينَ وَ مَعُونَةَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ مُجَاوَرَةَ الْفَاسِقِينَ احْذَرُوا فِتْنَتَهُمْ وَ تَبَاعَدُوا مِنْ سَاحَتِهِمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ خَالَفَ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ دَانَ بِغَيْرِ دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَبَدَّ بِأَمْرِهِ دُونَ أَمْرِ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ كَانَ فِي نَارٍ تَلْتَهِبُ تَأْكُلُ أَبْدَاناً قَدْ غَابَتْ عَنْهَا أَرْوَاحُهَا وَ غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهَا شِقْوَتُهَا فَهُمْ مَوْتَى لَا يَجِدُونَ حَرَّ النَّارِ وَ لَوْ كَانُوا أَحْيَاءً لَوَجَدُوا مَضَضَ حَرِّ النَّارِ

And beware of the company of the disobedience ones, and the help of the unjust ones, and the compulsions of the mischievous ones. Be cautious of their strife and distance yourselves from their places. And know that the one who opposes the Guardiansasws of Allahazwj, and makes it to be a Religion without the Religion of Allahazwj, and issues commands other than the commands of the Guardiansasws of Allahazwj will be in the Inflamed Fire, which consumes the bodies from which its spirit is absent, and which have been overcome by its misfortune. (At preent) they are dead, not feeling the heat of the Fire, and had they been alive they would have found their suffering in the heat of the Fire.

وَ اعْتَبِرُوا يَا أُولِي الْأَبْصَارِ وَ احْمَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ قُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى غَيْرِ قُدْرَتِهِ وَ سَيَرَى اللَّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَ رَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ فَانْتَفِعُوا بِالْعِظَةِ وَ تَأَدَّبُوا بِآدَابِ الصَّالِحِينَ .

And take a lesson, O people of vision, and Praise Allahazwj for what Heazwj has Guided you with, and know that you cannot escape from the Power of Allahazwj to another power. Allahazwj Sees your deeds, as well as Hisazwj Messenger, then to them will be your resurrection. So benefit from the advice, and educate yourselves with the discipline of the righteous.

14451-  أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْكُوفِيُّ وَ هُوَ الْعَاصِمِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الصَّوَّافِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) يُوصِي أَصْحَابَهُ وَ يَقُولُ أُوصِيكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا غِبْطَةُ الطَّالِبِ الرَّاجِي وَ ثِقَةُ الْهَارِبِ اللَّاجِي

H 14451 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad All Kufy, and he is Al-A’asmiy, from Abdul Wahid Bin Al-Sawwaf, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Al-Hamdany who has narrated the following:

Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws used to bequeath to hisasws companions saying: ‘Iasws bequeath you to fear Allahazwj for it is happiness for the truthful seeker, and a heavy shackle for the runaway fugitive.

وَ اسْتَشْعِرُوا التَّقْوَى شِعَاراً بَاطِناً وَ اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ ذِكْراً خَالِصاً تَحْيَوْا بِهِ أَفْضَلَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ تَسْلُكُوا بِهِ طَرِيقَ النَّجَاةِ

And be aware of the piety realising it within yourselves, and remember Allahazwj with a sincere Remembrance, being revived by it, and journey upon the path of salvation.

انْظُرُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا نَظَرَ الزَّاهِدِ الْمُفَارِقِ لَهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُزِيلُ الثَّاوِيَ السَّاكِنَ وَ تَفْجَعُ الْمُتْرَفَ الْآمِنَ لَا يُرْجَى مِنْهَا مَا تَوَلَّى فَأَدْبَرَ وَ لَا يُدْرَى مَا هُوَ آتٍ مِنْهَا فَيُنْتَظَرَ وُصِلَ الْبَلَاءُ مِنْهَا بِالرَّخَاءِ وَ الْبَقَاءُ مِنْهَا إِلَى فَنَاءٍ

Look at this world with the vision of the ascetics, the ones who have parted from it, for it dislodges its residents and causes distress to the affluent ones who (superficially) feel safe. Do not hope for those that are turned away from it, not knowing what it is that will come from it. So await patiently for the prosperity upon the arrival of the afflictions from it, and the survival from it up to the end. 

فَسُرُورُهَا مَشُوبٌ بِالْحُزْنِ وَ الْبَقَاءُ فِيهَا إِلَى الضَّعْفِ وَ الْوَهْنِ فَهِيَ كَرَوْضَةٍ اعْتَمَّ مَرْعَاهَا وَ أَعْجَبَتْ مَنْ يَرَاهَا عَذْبٌ شِرْبُهَا طَيِّبٌ تَرْبُهَا تَمُجُّ عُرُوقُهَا الثَّرَى وَ تَنْطُفُ فُرُوعُهَا النَّدَى حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ الْعُشْبُ إِبَّانَهُ وَ اسْتَوَى بَنَانُهُ هَاجَتْ رِيحٌ تَحُتُّ الْوَرَقَ وَ تُفَرِّقُ مَا اتَّسَقَ فَأَصْبَحَتْ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ هَشِيماً تَذْرُوهُ الرِّياحُ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مُقْتَدِراً انْظُرُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا فِي كَثْرَةِ مَا يُعْجِبُكُمْ وَ قِلَّةِ مَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ

So its happiness is tainted with the grief, and the survival in it is up to the weakness and the fragility. So it is like a garden, the pasture of which is dense causing those who look at it, to wonder at it. Its drinks are sweet, its covering (soil) is good, its roots are excited in the ground, and its branches drip moisture until the grass reaches its due level. The scent gets triggered under the blades and gets separated from it in the morning, just as Allahazwj has Said: “[18:45] then it becomes dry broken into pieces which the winds scatter; and Allah is the holder of power over all things.” Look at this world and the numerous things which cause you to wonder, and the scarcity of the things which benefit you’.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هِيَ خُطْبَةُ الْوَسِيلَةِ

SERMON OF AMIR –UL- MOMINEENasws AND IT IS THE SERMON OF THE MEANS (AL-WASEELA)

14452-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُكَايَةَ التَّمِيمِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ النَّضْرِ الْفِهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَرْمَضَنِي اخْتِلَافُ الشِّيعَةِ فِي مَذَاهِبِهَا فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ أَ لَمْ أَقِفْكَ عَلَى مَعْنَى اخْتِلَافِهِمْ مِنْ أَيْنَ اخْتَلَفُوا وَ مِنْ أَيِّ جِهَةٍ تَفَرَّقُوا قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

H 14452 - Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ma’mar, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ukaayat Al-Tamimy, from Al-Husayn Bin Al-Nazar Al-Fahry, from Abu Amro Al-Awzaiy, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir Bin Yazeed who said:

‘I came up to Abu Ja’farasws, so I said, ‘O sonasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, the differing among the Shiites in this Doctrine causes me pain’. Heasws said: ‘O Jabir, shall Iasws not suffice you with the meanings of their differences, from where they are differing, and from which perspective they are separating?’ I said, ‘Yes, O sonasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj’. 

قَالَ فَلَا تَخْتَلِفْ إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ الْجَاحِدَ لِصَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ كَالْجَاحِدِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي أَيَّامِهِ يَا جَابِرُ اسْمَعْ وَ عِ قُلْتُ إِذَا شِئْتَ قَالَ اسْمَعْ وَ عِ وَ بَلِّغْ حَيْثُ انْتَهَتْ بِكَ رَاحِلَتُكَ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) خَطَبَ النَّاسَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ ذَلِكَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ جَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ تَأْلِيفِهِ

Heasws said: ‘So do not differ if they differ, O Jabir. The one who fights against the Masterasws of the Era (Imamasws of his time) is like the one who has fought against the Messengersaww of Allahazwj in hissaww days. O Jabir, listen attentively’. I said, ‘As youasws like’. Heasws said: ‘Listen attentively, and make it reach to wherever your ride takes you, that Amir-ul-Momineenasws preached to the People at Al-Medina, seven days after the passing away of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and that was when heasws was free from collecting the Quran and compiling it.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَنَعَ الْأَوْهَامَ أَنْ تَنَالَ إِلَّا وُجُودَهُ وَ حَجَبَ الْعُقُولَ أَنْ تَتَخَيَّلَ ذَاتَهُ لِامْتِنَاعِهَا مِنَ الشَّبَهِ وَ التَّشَاكُلِ بَلْ هُوَ الَّذِي لَا يَتَفَاوَتُ فِي ذَاتِهِ وَ لَا يَتَبَعَّضُ بِتَجْزِئَةِ الْعَدَدِ فِي كَمَالِهِ فَارَقَ الْأَشْيَاءَ لَا عَلَى اخْتِلَافِ الْأَمَاكِنِ وَ يَكُونُ فِيهَا لَا عَلَى وَجْهِ الْمُمُازَجَةِ وَ عَلِمَهَا لَا بِأَدَاةٍ لَا يَكُونُ الْعِلْمُ إِلَّا بِهَا وَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ مَعْلُومِهِ عِلْمُ غَيْرِهِ بِهِ كَانَ عَالِماً بِمَعْلُومِهِ

Heasws said: ‘Praise be to Allahazwj Who has Prevented the imaginations to grasp Himazwj except for Hisazwj Existence, and Veiled the intellects to think about Hisazwj Essence due to the restrictions of Himazwj having no similarities or images. But Heazwj is the One in Whose Essence there are not differences nor any division into a number of parts due to the Perfection. Heazwj is separate from the things, not due to being in a different place, and Heazwj is in things, not being mixed within them, and Heazwj Knows these, not by the use of tools. And Heazwj is not Knowledgeable except by it, and there is nothing between Himazwj and Hisazwj Knowledge, any other knowledge. Heazwj is the Knowledgeable by Himselfazwj.

إِنْ قِيلَ كَانَ فَعَلَى تَأْوِيلِ أَزَلِيَّةِ الْوُجُودِ وَ إِنْ قِيلَ لَمْ يَزَلْ فَعَلَى تَأْوِيلِ نَفْيِ الْعَدَمِ فَسُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى عَنْ قَوْلِ مَنْ عَبَدَ سِوَاهُ وَ اتَّخَذَ إِلَهاً غَيْرَهُ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً نَحْمَدُهُ بِالْحَمْدِ الَّذِي ارْتَضَاهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ أَوْجَبَ قَبُولَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ

If it is said that Heazwj was, it would be interpreted as the eternal existence, and if it is said that Heazwj will never cease (to exist), it would be interpreted as the negation of the non-existence. Heazwj is Glorious, and higher than the words of those who worship other than Himazwj and have taken a god other than Himazwj. Heazwj is Higher and Greater. Weasws Praise Himazwj with a Praise of those of Hisazwj creatures who has Pleased Himazwj, and Heazwj has Made it to be more than Obligatory upon Himselfazwj to Accept it.

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ شَهَادَتَانِ تَرْفَعَانِ الْقَوْلَ وَ تُضَاعِفَانِ الْعَمَلَ خَفَّ مِيزَانٌ تُرْفَعَانِ مِنْهُ وَ ثَقُلَ مِيزَانٌ تُوضَعَانِ فِيهِ وَ بِهِمَا الْفَوْزُ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّجَاةُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ الْجَوَازُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ

And Iasws hereby testify that there is no God but Allahazwj, One, with no Associates for Himselfazwj, and Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Messenger. These two testimonies elevate the words and increase the deeds. Light is the Scale from which these two are raised from, and heavy is the Scale on which these two are placed. And by these two is the victory of the Paradise, and the salvation from the Fire, and the Permission upon the (crossing of) the Bridge.

وَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ بِالصَّلَاةِ تَنَالُونَ الرَّحْمَةَ أَكْثِرُوا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى نَبِيِّكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً

And it is by the testimony that you will be entering the Paradise, and by the Prayers that you will be consuming the Mercy. Send the greetings frequently upon your Prophetsaww “[33:56] Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation”.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَا شَرَفَ أَعْلَى مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ لَا كَرَمَ أَعَزُّ مِنَ التَّقْوَى وَ لَا مَعْقِلَ أَحْرَزُ مِنَ الْوَرَعِ وَ لَا شَفِيعَ أَنْجَحُ مِنَ التَّوْبَةِ وَ لَا لِبَاسَ أَجْمَلُ مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ لَا وِقَايَةَ أَمْنَعُ مِنَ السَّلَامَةِ وَ لَا مَالَ أَذْهَبُ بِالْفَاقَةِ مِنَ الرِّضَا بِالْقَنَاعَةِ وَ لَا كَنْزَ أَغْنَى مِنَ الْقُنُوعِ

O you people! There is no nobility higher than Al-Islam, nor a prestige more honourable than the piety, nor a stronghold better than devoutness, nor an intercessor more excellent than repentance, nor a robe more majestic than good health, nor a protection more secure than safety, nor a wealth better at dispelling poverty than contentment with conviction/cetainity, nor a treasure more enriching than being satisfied.

وَ مَنِ اقْتَصَرَ عَلَى بُلْغَةِ الْكَفَافِ فَقَدِ انْتَظَمَ الرَّاحَةَ وَ تَبَوَّأَ خَفْضَ الدَّعَةِ وَ الرَّغْبَةُ مِفْتَاحُ التَّعَبِ وَ الِاحْتِكَارُ مَطِيَّةُ النَّصَبِ وَ الْحَسَدُ آفَةُ الدِّينِ وَ الْحِرْصُ دَاعٍ إِلَى التَّقَحُّمِ فِي الذُّنُوبِ وَ هُوَ دَاعِي الْحِرْمَانِ وَ الْبَغْيُ سَائِقٌ إِلَى الْحَيْنِ وَ الشَّرَهُ جَامِعٌ لِمَسَاوِي الْعُيُوبِ رُبَّ طَمَعٍ خَائِبٍ وَ أَمَلٍ كَاذِبٍ وَ رَجَاءٍ يُؤَدِّي إِلَى الْحِرْمَانِ وَ تِجَارَةٍ تَئُولُ إِلَى الْخُسْرَانِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ تَوَرَّطَ فِي الْأُمُورِ غَيْرَ نَاظِرٍ فِي الْعَوَاقِبِ فَقَدْ تَعَرَّضَ لِمُفْضِحَاتِ النَّوَائِبِ وَ بِئْسَتِ الْقِلَادَةُ الذَّنْبُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ

And the one lives at the subsistence level and the reduction in comfort, so he has made the preparations for the rest, and the desires is the key to the fatigue, and the monopolisation follows from affliction, and the jealousy is a scourge on the Religion, and the greed is an invitation to the indulgence in the sins and the reason for the deprivation, and the transgression is a driver to the destruction, and greed gathers all the defects. Perhaps a failed greed, a false hope leads to the dispossession and a business trade to incur a loss. The one who gets involved in the matters without looking at the consequences will be exposed to misfortunes, and the most evil of the collars (humiliation) for a Believer is the sin.

َيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَا كَنْزَ أَنْفَعُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ وَ لَا عِزَّ أَرْفَعُ مِنَ الْحِلْمِ وَ لَا حَسَبَ أَبْلَغُ مِنَ الْأَدَبِ وَ لَا نَصَبَ أَوْضَعُ مِنَ الْغَضَبِ وَ لَا جَمَالَ أَزْيَنُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ وَ لَا سَوْأَةَ أَسْوَأُ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ وَ لَا حَافِظَ أَحْفَظُ مِنَ الصَّمْتِ وَ لَا غَائِبَ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ

O you people! There is no treasure more beneficial than the knowledge, and no honour higher than the forbearance, and no nobility more eloquent than the ethics, and no affliction greater than anger, and no majesty more decorative than the intellect, and nothing is more disgraceful than the lies, and no protection safer than silence, and no absentee which is nearer than the death. 

أ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ نَظَرَ فِي عَيْبِ نَفْسِهِ اشْتَغَلَ عَنْ عَيْبِ غَيْرِهِ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِرِزْقِ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَأْسَفْ عَلَى مَا فِي يَدِ غَيْرِهِ وَ مَنْ سَلَّ سَيْفَ الْبَغْيِ قُتِلَ بِهِ وَ مَنْ حَفَرَ لِأَخِيهِ بِئْراً وَقَعَ فِيهَا وَ مَنْ هَتَكَ حِجَابَ غَيْرِهِ انْكَشَفَ عَوْرَاتُ بَيْتِهِ وَ مَنْ نَسِيَ زَلَلَهُ اسْتَعْظَمَ زَلَلَ غَيْرِهِ وَ مَنْ أُعْجِبَ بِرَأْيِهِ ضَلَّ وَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِعَقْلِهِ زَلَّ وَ مَنْ تَكَبَّرَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ذَلَّ وَ مَنْ سَفِهَ عَلَى النَّاسِ شُتِمَ وَ مَنْ خَالَطَ الْأَنْذَالَ حُقِّرَ وَ مَنْ حَمَلَ مَا لَا يُطِيقُ عَجَزَ

O you people! The one who looks at his own faults will be too pre-occupied to look at the faults of the others, and the one who is contented with the sustenance of Allahazwj will not despair upon what is in the hands of the others, and the one who unsheathes the sword of rebellion will be killed by it, and the one who drills a pit for his brother will fall into it himself, and the one who discloses the veiled (privacy) of others will uncover the privacy of his own house, and the one who forgets his own mistakes will magnify the mistakes of the others, and the one who wonders at his own opinion will go astray, and the one who considers himself to be needless due to his intellect will make mistakes, and the one who is arrogant to the people will be humiliated, and the one who is a fool to the people will be hated, and the one who mixes with the villains will be degraded, and the one who burdens himself with what he cannot endure will be frustrated.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَا مَالَ هُوَ أَعْوَدُ مِنَ الْعَقْلِ وَ لَا فَقْرَ هُوَ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْجَهْلِ وَ لَا وَاعِظَ هُوَ أَبْلَغُ مِنَ النُّصْحِ وَ لَا عَقْلَ كَالتَّدْبِيرِ وَ لَا عِبَادَةَ كَالتَّفَكُّرِ وَ لَا مُظَاهَرَةَ أَوْثَقُ مِنَ الْمُشَاوَرَةِ وَ لَا وَحْشَةَ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعُجْبِ وَ لَا وَرَعَ كَالْكَفِّ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ وَ لَا حِلْمَ كَالصَّبْرِ وَ الصَّمْتِ

O you people! There is no wealth more valuable than the intellect, and no poverty which is more intense than the ignorance, and no preacher which is more profound than the sound advice, and no reasoning like the contemplation, and no worship like the pondering, and no demonstration more reliable than the consultation, and no isolation more severe than the self-conceit, nor piety like refraining from the Prohibitions, and no forbearance like patience and silence. 

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ عَشْرُ خِصَالٍ يُظْهِرُهَا لِسَانُهُ شَاهِدٌ يُخْبِرُ عَنِ الضَّمِيرِ حَاكِمٌ يَفْصِلُ بَيْنَ الْخِطَابِ وَ نَاطِقٌ يُرَدُّ بِهِ الْجَوَابُ وَ شَافِعٌ يُدْرَكُ بِهِ الْحَاجَةُ وَ وَاصِفٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ الْأَشْيَاءُ وَ أَمِيرٌ يَأْمُرُ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ وَاعِظٌ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْقَبِيحِ وَ مُعَزٍّ تُسَكَّنُ بِهِ الْأَحْزَانُ وَ حَاضِرٌ تُجْلَى بِهِ الضَّغَائِنُ وَ مُونِقٌ تَلْتَذُّ بِهِ الْأَسْمَاعُ

O you people! In the human being there are ten qualities, which are revealed by his tongue and becomes witness to his hidden thoughts, it is a ruler by which he decides between what to be said, and the words by which he returns the answer, and an intercessor (limbs) by which he achieves the needs, and a describer (senses) by which he recognises the things, and a commander (decision) by which he commands for the good, and a preacher by which he prohibits from the ugly (deeds), and a consoler by which he gives solace to the sorrows, and a conscious by which he clears the malice, and an articulator by which he gives pleasure to the ears.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الصَّمْتِ عَنِ الْحُكْمِ كَمَا أَنَّهُ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْقَوْلِ بِالْجَهْلِ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ مَنْ لَمْ يَمْلِكْ لِسَانَهُ يَنْدَمْ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْلَمْ يَجْهَلْ وَ مَنْ لَا يَتَحَلَّمْ لَا يَحْلُمْ وَ مَنْ لَا يَرْتَدِعْ لَا يَعْقِلْ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْلَمْ يُهَنْ وَ مَنْ يُهَنْ لَا يُوَقَّرْ وَ مَنْ لَا يُوَقَّرْ يَتَوَبَّخْ وَ مَنْ يَكْتَسِبْ مَالًا مِنْ غَيْرِ حَقِّهِ يَصْرِفْهُ فِي غَيْرِ أَجْرِهِ وَ مَنْ لَا يَدَعْ وَ هُوَ مَحْمُودٌ يَدَعْ وَ هُوَ مَذْمُومٌ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُعْطِ قَاعِداً مُنِعَ قَائِماً وَ مَنْ يَطْلُبِ الْعِزَّ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ يَذِلَّ وَ مَنْ يَغْلِبْ بِالْجَوْرِ يُغْلَبْ وَ مَنْ عَانَدَ الْحَقَّ لَزِمَهُ الْوَهْنُ وَ مَنْ تَفَقَّهَ وُقِّرَ وَ مَنْ تَكَبَّرَ حُقِّرَ وَ مَنْ لَا يُحْسِنْ لَا يُحْمَدْ

O you people! There is no good in keeping silent about the ‘الْحُكْمِ’ (the Command) just as there is no good in speaking out of ignorance. And know, O you people, that the one who does not control his tongue will regret, and the one who does not learn will be ignorant, and the one who does not forbear will not content, and the one who is not deterred does not learn, and the one who does not know is insulted, and the one who is insulted is not respected, and the one who is not respected is taunted, and the one who acquires wealth from where he has no right to do so will spend it extravagantly in other that the right way, and the one who does not desist when he is praised will desist when he is condemned, and the one who does not give in comfort will also be refused when in the need, and the one who seeks the honour without being deserving of it will be disgraced, the one who overcomes with injustice will also be overpowered, and the one who opposed the truth will necessitate weakness for himself, and the one who ponders will be dignified, and the one who is arrogant will be belittled, and the one who is not good will not be praised.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الْمَنِيَّةَ قَبْلَ الدَّنِيَّةِ وَ التَّجَلُّدَ قَبْلَ التَّبَلُّدِ وَ الْحِسَابَ قَبْلَ الْعِقَابِ وَ الْقَبْرَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ غَضَّ الْبَصَرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ النَّظَرِ وَ الدَّهْرَ يَوْمٌ لَكَ وَ يَوْمٌ عَلَيْكَ فَإِذَا كَانَ لَكَ فَلَا تَبْطَرْ وَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ فَاصْبِرْ فَبِكِلَيْهِمَا تُمْتَحَنُ [وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ وَ كِلَاهُمَا سَيُخْتَبَرُ]

O you people! The death is (better) before the lowliness, and the endurance before the apathy, and the accounting before the Punishment, and the grave is better than the poverty, lowering the sight is better than looking at a great deal, and the time, a day is for you and a day against you. So if it is for you, do not be ungrateful, and if it is against you, observe patience. So with both of them you will be Examined. (And in another copy – ‘And with both of them you will be Tested’) 

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَعْجَبُ مَا فِي الْإِنْسَانِ قَلْبُهُ وَ لَهُ مَوَادُّ مِنَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ أَضْدَادٌ مِنْ خِلَافِهَا فَإِنْ سَنَحَ لَهُ الرَّجَاءُ أَذَلَّهُ الطَّمَعُ وَ إِنْ هَاجَ بِهِ الطَّمَعُ أَهْلَكَهُ الْحِرْصُ وَ إِنْ مَلَكَهُ الْيَأْسُ قَتَلَهُ الْأَسَفُ وَ إِنْ عَرَضَ لَهُ الْغَضَبُ اشْتَدَّ بِهِ الْغَيْظُ وَ إِنْ أُسْعِدَ بِالرِّضَى نَسِيَ التَّحَفُّظَ وَ إِنْ نَالَهُ الْخَوْفُ شَغَلَهُ الْحَذَرُ وَ إِنِ اتَّسَعَ لَهُ الْأَمْنُ اسْتَلَبَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ [وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ أَخَذَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ] وَ إِنْ جُدِّدَتْ لَهُ نِعْمَةٌ أَخَذَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ وَ إِنْ أَفَادَ مَالًا أَطْغَاهُ الْغِنَى وَ إِنْ عَضَّتْهُ فَاقَةٌ شَغَلَهُ الْبَلَاءُ [وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ جَهَدَهُ الْبُكَاءُ] وَ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَضَحَهُ الْجَزَعُ وَ إِنْ أَجْهَدَهُ الْجُوعُ قَعَدَ بِهِ الضَّعْفُ وَ إِنْ أَفْرَطَ فِي الشِّبَعِ كَظَّتْهُ الْبِطْنَةُ فَكُلُّ تَقْصِيرٍ بِهِ مُضِرٌّ وَ كُلُّ إِفْرَاطٍ لَهُ مُفْسِدٌ

O you people! The strangest of what is in the human being is his heart, and in it are matters of wisdom and the antibodies to the one who opposes it. When there is prosperity for him, greed humiliates him, and if greed excites him, the thriftiness destroys him, when despair overpowers him, the remorse kills him, and when the anger presents itself, the rage intensifies, and when he is happy and satisfied he forgets to conserve, and when fear seizes him he gets preoccupied by caution, and when security is widened for him his honour makes him complacent (and in another copy ‘pride takes him over’), and when new bounties come up for him pride takes him over, and when he is benefitted by money his richness makes him oppressive, and when poverty bites him he is preoccupied by the affliction (and in another copy ‘he strives in the weeping’), and when he is inflicted by hardship anxiety injures him, and when the hunger exhausts him he is disabled by the weakness, and when he over-eats he is upset by indigestion, so every deficiency is harmful to him, and every excess spoils him.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ فَلَّ ذَلَّ وَ مَنْ جَادَ سَادَ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَ مَالُهُ رَأَسَ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَ حِلْمُهُ نَبُلَ وَ مَنْ أَفْكَرَ فِي ذَاتِ اللَّهِ تَزَنْدَقَ وَ مَنْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ عُرِفَ بِهِ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَ مِزَاحُهُ اسْتُخِفَّ بِهِ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَ ضِحْكُهُ ذَهَبَتْ هَيْبَتُهُ فَسَدَ حَسَبُ مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَدَبٌ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الْفِعَالِ صِيَانَةُ الْعِرْضِ بِالْمَالِ لَيْسَ مَنْ جَالَسَ الْجَاهِلَ بِذِي مَعْقُولٍ مَنْ جَالَسَ الْجَاهِلَ فَلْيَسْتَعِدَّ لِقِيلٍ

O you people! The one who is miserly will be disgraced and the one who is generous will be the master, and the one who increases his wealth becomes the leader and the one who increases his forbearance becomes noble, and the one who ponders regarding the Essence of Allahazwj becomes an Atheist, and the one who frequents in something becomes known for it, and the one frequently jokes will be taken lightly, and the one who frequently laughs his prestige goes away, the one who has no ethics will corrupt. The best deed is the maintenance of honour by wealth. There is none who sits with the ignorant ones who is reasonable, for the one who sits with the ignorant ones should ready himself for (a lot of) talk (against him)’.

وَ قَالٍ لَنْ يَنْجُوَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ غَنِيٌّ بِمَالِهِ وَ لَا فَقِيرٌ لِإِقْلَالِهِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَوْ أَنَّ الْمَوْتَ يُشْتَرَى لَاشْتَرَاهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا الْكَرِيمُ الْأَبْلَجُ وَ اللَّئِيمُ الْمَلْهُوجُ

And heasws said: ‘Neither did the rich one obtain salvation from death by his wealth, nor did the poor one due to his scarcity’. O you people! Had the death been (a commodity) which could be bought, the good and the honourable ones of the world, as well as the wicked and the greedy ones would have bought it.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ لِلْقُلُوبِ شَوَاهِدَ تُجْرِي الْأَنْفُسَ عَنْ مَدْرَجَةِ أَهْلِ التَّفْرِيطِ وَ فِطْنَةُ الْفَهْمِ لِلْمَوَاعِظِ مَا يَدْعُو النَّفْسَ إِلَى الْحَذَرِ مِنَ الْخَطَرِ وَ لِلْقُلُوبِ خَوَاطِرَ لِلْهَوَى وَ الْعُقُولُ تَزْجُرُ وَ تَنْهَى وَ فِي التَّجَارِبِ عِلْمٌ مُسْتَأْنَفٌ وَ الِاعْتِبَارُ يَقُودُ إِلَى الرَّشَادِ وَ كَفَاكَ أَدَباً لِنَفْسِكَ مَا تَكْرَهُهُ لِغَيْرِكَ وَ عَلَيْكَ لِأَخِيكَ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي لَكَ عَلَيْهِ لَقَدْ خَاطَرَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى بِرَأْيِهِ وَ التَّدَبُّرُ قَبْلَ الْعَمَلِ فَإِنَّهُ يُؤْمِنُكَ مِنَ النَّدَمِ وَ مَنِ اسْتَقْبَلَ وُجُوهَ الْآرَاءِ عَرَفَ مَوَاقِعَ الْخَطَإِ وَ مَنْ أَمْسَكَ عَنِ الْفُضُولِ عَدَلَتْ رَأْيَهُ الْعُقُولُ

O you people! There are witnesses for the hearts which hold them back from being the people of excesses, and there is insight for the understanding, which alerts the self and caution it from the danger. And for the heart there are memories of desires, and the intellect admonishes and prohibits from it. And in the experiences there is an appellant, which is a reliable guide to the right way. It is sufficient for yourself what you would not like it to happen to others, and it is upon you that the same should be for your believing brother, and in it upon him, likewise. The one who considers his own opinion to be self-sufficing from him would endanger him, and the pondering before the deeds would keep you safe from remorse. And the one who welcomes different opinions would understand the places of mistakes. And the one who refrains from the useless matters his opinion would balance the intellects.

وَ مَنْ حَصَّنَ شَهْوَتَهُ فَقَدْ صَانَ قَدْرَهُ وَ مَنْ أَمْسَكَ لِسَانَهُ أَمِنَهُ قَوْمُهُ وَ نَالَ حَاجَتَهُ وَ فِي تَقَلُّبِ الْأَحْوَالِ عِلْمُ جَوَاهِرِ الرِّجَالِ وَ الْأَيَّامُ تُوضِحُ لَكَ السَّرَائِرَ الْكَامِنَةَ وَ لَيْسَ فِي الْبَرْقِ الْخَاطِفِ مُسْتَمْتَعٌ لِمَنْ يَخُوضُ فِي الظُّلْمَةِ وَ مَنْ عُرِفَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ لَحَظَتْهُ الْعُيُونُ بِالْوَقَارِ وَ الْهَيْبَةِ وَ أَشْرَفُ الْغِنَى تَرْكُ الْمُنَى وَ الصَّبْرُ جُنَّةٌ مِنَ الْفَاقَةِ وَ الْحِرْصُ عَلَامَةُ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْبُخْلُ جِلْبَابُ الْمَسْكَنَةِ وَ الْمَوَدَّةُ قَرَابَةٌ مُسْتَفَادَةٌ وَ وَصُولٌ مُعْدِمٌ خَيْرٌ مِنْ جَافٍ مُكْثِرٍ

The one who fortifies his carnal desires so he has kept his respect, and the one who restrains his tongue is trusted by the people and will achieve his needs. And in the alteration of the situations the jewels of the men become known, and the passing days make apparent the inner selves. And there is no enjoyment in the swiftness of lightning for the one who goes through darkness. And the one who is recognised by the wisdom, the eyes will notice him with reverence and prestige. The most noble of riches is the avoidance of wishes, and the patience is a shield against poverty, and the greed is a sign of poverty, and the stinginess is the gown of destitution, and the cordiality with the relatives is beneficial, and the sympathy of the poor is better than the disloyal rich. 

وَ الْمَوْعِظَةُ كَهْفٌ لِمَنْ وَعَاهَا وَ مَنْ أَطْلَقَ طَرْفَهُ كَثُرَ أَسَفُهُ وَ قَدْ أَوْجَبَ الدَّهْرُ شُكْرَهُ عَلَى مَنْ نَالَ سُؤْلَهُ وَ قَلَّ مَا يُنْصِفُكَ اللِّسَانُ فِي نَشْرِ قَبِيحٍ أَوْ إِحْسَانٍ وَ مَنْ ضَاقَ خُلُقُهُ مَلَّهُ أَهْلُهُ وَ مَنْ نَالَ اسْتَطَالَ وَ قَلَّ مَا تَصْدُقُكَ الْأُمْنِيَّةُ وَ التَّوَاضُعُ يَكْسُوكَ الْمَهَابَةَ وَ فِي سَعَةِ الْأَخْلَاقِ كُنُوزُ الْأَرْزَاقِ كَمْ مِنْ عَاكِفٍ عَلَى ذَنْبِهِ فِي آخِرِ أَيَّامِ عُمُرِهِ وَ مَنْ كَسَاهُ الْحَيَاءُ ثَوْبَهُ خَفِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ عَيْبُهُ

Counselling is like a cave for the one who listens to it, and the one who does not restrain his eyes, his regrets increase. And the (passage of) time has made it to be more than obligatory for the one who avails it, to thank it. The tongue does very little justice in displaying the ugly and the good. The one who constricts his ethics, his family get tired of him. And the one who seeks, achieves it for a long time, and very little of what is wished is sincere. Modesty clothes you with dignity, and in the extensiveness of the morals is a treasure for the sustenance, and how many from the people remain in their sins until the end of their days. And the one who robes himself with bashfulness as his clothing his faults are hidden from the people. 

وَ انْحُ الْقَصْدَ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَحَرَّى الْقَصْدَ خَفَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمُؤَنُ وَ فِي خِلَافِ النَّفْسِ رُشْدُكَ مَنْ عَرَفَ الْأَيَّامَ لَمْ يَغْفُلْ عَنِ الِاسْتِعْدَادِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ مَعَ كُلِّ جُرْعَةٍ شَرَقاً وَ إِنَّ فِي كُلِّ أُكْلَةٍ غُصَصاً لَا تُنَالُ نِعْمَةٌ إِلَّا بِزَوَالِ أُخْرَى وَ لِكُلِّ ذِي رَمَقٍ قُوتٌ وَ لِكُلِّ حَبَّةٍ آكِلٌ وَ أَنْتَ قُوتُ الْمَوْتِ

And intend moderation in your speech, for the one who intends it will incur light expenses, and in the opposition to the ego is guidance for you. And the one who recognises the ‘days’ (his end) will never be oblivious from the preparation. Nay! Along with every sip (of drink) is (possibility of) choking, and in every morsel is (the possibility of) suffocation. Bounties cannot be achieved except by the decline of other (bounties), and for every breath is life, and for every grain is a consumer, and you are the morsel of the death.

اعْلَمُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَشَى عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهُ يَصِيرُ إِلَى بَطْنِهَا وَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ يَتَنَازَعَانِ [يَتَسَارَعَانِ] فِي هَدْمِ الْأَعْمَارِ

And know, O you people! The ones who walks upon the face of the earth will end up in its belly, and the nights and the days, they dispute (they accelerate) regarding the destruction of the life-span.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كُفْرُ النِّعْمَةِ لُؤْمٌ وَ صُحْبَةُ الْجَاهِلِ شُؤْمٌ إِنَّ مِنَ الْكَرَمِ لِينَ الْكَلَامِ وَ مِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ إِظْهَارَ اللِّسَانِ وَ إِفْشَاءَ السَّلَامِ

O you people! Ingratitude for the bounties is wickedness, and the company of the ignorant is ominous. The softness of the speech is from the prestige. And from the (acts of) worship are displayed by the tongue (make it heard) and increase the greetings.

إِيَّاكَ وَ الْخَدِيعَةَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ خُلُقِ اللَّئِيمِ لَيْسَ كُلُّ طَالِبٍ يُصِيبُ وَ لَا كُلُّ غَائِبٍ يَئُوبُ لَا تَرْغَبْ فِيمَنْ زَهِدَ فِيكَ رُبَّ بَعِيدٍ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ سَلْ عَنِ الرَّفِيقِ قَبْلَ الطَّرِيقِ وَ عَنِ الْجَارِ قَبْلَ الدَّارِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَسْرَعَ فِي الْمَسِيرِ أَدْرَكَهُ الْمَقِيلُ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَةَ أَخِيكَ كَمَا تَعْلَمُهَا فِيكَ اغْتَفِرْ زَلَّةَ صَدِيقِكَ لِيَوْمِ يَرْكَبُكَ عَدُوُّكَ

Beware of deceit for it is from the manners of the villains. Every seeker does not get a share, nor does every absentee return. Its not certain that one will get what he wishes and the lost is recovered. Seek (the company) of friends before setting of and ensure (good) neighbourhood before (moving into) the house. Indeed! The one who moves fast will catche up with the slower ones. Conceal the private (matters) of your brother just as he knows regarding you. Forgive the mistakes of your friend for the day that your enemy comes to dominate you. 

مَنْ غَضِبَ عَلَى مَنْ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى ضَرِّهِ طَالَ حُزْنُهُ وَ عَذَّبَ نَفْسَهُ مَنْ خَافَ رَبَّهُ كَفَّ ظُلْمَهُ [مَنْ خَافَ رَبَّهُ كُفِيَ عَذَابَهُ] وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَزِغْ فِي كَلَامِهِ أَظْهَرَ فَخْرَهُ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الْخَيْرَ مِنَ الشَّرِّ فَهُوَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْبَهِيمَةِ

The one who is angry with the one over whom he has no power to injure, his grief would be prolonged and it will punish his soul. The one who fears his Lordazwj will refrain from committing injustices. The one who is good with the words would display his pride. And the one who does not recognise the good from the evil, is like an animal.

إِنَّ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ إِضَاعَةَ الزَّادِ مَا أَصْغَرَ الْمُصِيبَةَ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْفَاقَةِ غَداً هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ وَ مَا تَنَاكَرْتُمْ إِلَّا لِمَا فِيكُمْ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي وَ الذُّنُوبِ فَمَا أَقْرَبَ الرَّاحَةَ مِنَ التَّعَبِ وَ الْبُؤْسَ مِنَ النَّعِيمِ وَ مَا شَرٌّ بِشَرٍّ بَعْدَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَ مَا خَيْرٌ بِخَيْرٍ بَعْدَهُ النَّارُ وَ كُلُّ نَعِيمٍ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ مَحْقُورٌ وَ كُلُّ بَلَاءٍ دُونَ النَّارِ عَافِيَةٌ

Indeed the corruption destroys the provisions (of the Hereafter). How little is the difficulty (of today) as compared with the great destitution tomorrow. Far it is! Far it is from being compared. And what is your antipathy due to, except for your indulgence in acts of disobedience and the sins. So how close is the rest to the tiredness, and the misery from the Bounties. The hardships are not painful after which there is the Paradise, and the goodtime is not the (lasting) comfort after which there is the Fire. And every bounty apart from the Paradise is insignificant, and every affliction apart from the Fire is healthy.

وَ عِنْدَ تَصْحِيحِ الضَّمَائِرِ تُبْدُو الْكَبَائِرُ تَصْفِيَةُ الْعَمَلِ أَشَدُّ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَ تَخْلِيصُ النِّيَّةِ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ أَشَدُّ عَلَى الْعَامِلِينَ مِنْ طُولِ الْجِهَادِ هَيْهَاتَ لَوْ لَا التُّقَى لَكُنْتُ أَدْهَى الْعَرَبِ

And turning away from correcting the consciences leads to the major sins. Purification of the deeds is more difficult than the deed itself, and the sincerity of the intention from the corruption is more difficulty upon the performer of the deed than the lengthy Jihaad. Far it is! Had it not been for the piety Iasws would have been the shrewdest of the Arabs.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَعَدَ نَبِيَّهُ مُحَمَّداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْوَسِيلَةَ وَ وَعْدُهُ الْحَقُّ وَ لَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْوَسِيلَةَ عَلَى دَرَجِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ ذِرْوَةِ ذَوَائِبِ الزُّلْفَةِ وَ نِهَايَةِ غَايَةِ الْأُمْنِيَّةِ لَهَا أَلْفُ مِرْقَاةٍ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِرْقَاةِ إِلَى الْمِرْقَاةِ حُضْرُ الْفَرَسِ الْجَوَادِ مِائَةَ عَامٍ وَ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ مِرْقَاةِ دُرَّةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ جَوْهَرَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ زَبَرْجَدَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ لُؤْلُؤَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ يَاقُوتَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ زُمُرُّدَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ مَرْجَانَةٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ كَافُورٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ عَنْبَرٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ يَلَنْجُوجٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ ذَهَبٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ غَمَامٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ هَوَاءٍ إِلَى مِرْقَاةِ نُورٍ قَدْ أَنَافَتْ عَلَى كُلِّ الْجِنَانِ

O you people! Allahazwj the High Promised Hisazwj Prophetsaww Muhammadsaww the Means (Al-Waseela), and Hisazwj Promise is True, and Allahazwj does not Go against Hisazwj Promise. Surely Al-Waseela is on the steps of the Paradise and is at the peak of the nearness (to Allahazwj), and is a total security at the very end of it. There are a thousand staircases, and what is in between one staircase and the other there is a travel distance by a fine horse of a hundred years. And in between these is a staircase of gems going up to a staircase of jewels, to a staircase of aquamarines, to a staircase of pearls, to a staircase of rubies, to a staircase of emeralds, to a staircase of corals, to a staircase of camphor, to a staircase of ambergris, to a staircase of aloe, to a staircase of gold, to a staircase of clouds, to a staircase of air, to a staircase of Light which encompasses all of the Gardens.

وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَوْمَئِذٍ قَاعِدٌ عَلَيْهَا مُرْتَدٍ بِرَيْطَتَيْنِ رَيْطَةٍ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ رَيْطَةٍ مِنْ نُورِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَاجُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ إِكْلِيلُ الرِّسَالَةِ قَدْ أَشْرَقَ بِنُورِهِ الْمَوْقِفُ

And on that Day the Messengersaww of Allahazwj would be seated wearing two Garments – a Garment of the Mercy of Allahazwj and a Garment of the Light of Allahazwj. On himsaww will be a Crown of the Prophet-hood and a Garland of the Message, the Light of which will illuminate the whole of the Pausing Place (Station in the Hereafter).

وَ أَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى الدَّرَجَةِ الرَّفِيعَةِ وَ هِيَ دُونَ دَرَجَتِهِ وَ عَلَيَّ رَيْطَتَانِ رَيْطَةٌ مِنْ أُرْجُوَانِ النُّورِ وَ رَيْطَةٌ مِنْ كَافُورٍ وَ الرُّسُلُ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ قَدْ وَقَفُوا عَلَى الْمَرَاقِي وَ أَعْلَامُ الْأَزْمِنَةِ وَ حُجَجُ الدُّهُورِ عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا وَ قَدْ تَجَلَّلَهُمْ حُلَلُ النُّورِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ لَا يَرَانَا مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ إِلَّا بُهِتَ بِأَنْوَارِنَا

And on that Day, Iasws will be upon the High Level, and it will be lower than hissaww Level, and on measws would be two Garments – a Garment of purple Light and a Garment of Camphor. And the Messengersas and the Prophetssaww would have paused upon myasws staircase, with the Flags of the Eras and the Proof of the ages on ourasws right, and theyas will have Majestic Garments of Light and the Prestige. There is no Angel of Proximity, and no Messenger Prophetsaww who will look at usasws except that he will be stunned by ourasws Light.

وَ عَجِبَ مِنْ ضِيَائِنَا وَ جَلَالَتِنَا وَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْوَسِيلَةِ عَنْ يَمِينِ الرَّسُولِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) غَمَامَةٌ بَسْطَةَ الْبَصَرِ يَأْتِي مِنْهَا النِّدَاءُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَحَبَّ الْوَصِيَّ وَ آمَنَ بِالنَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ وَ مَنْ كَفَرَ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ

And stranger than ourasws Illumination and ourasws Majesty is the Al-Waseela on ourasws right, and on the right of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj will be a cloud stretching out as far as the eye can see. A Call will come out from it: ‘O people of the Pausing Place! Goodness is for the ones who loved the successorasws and believed in the Prophetsaww, the ‘Ummy’[5] of the Arabs. And the one who disbelieved, so the Fire is Prepared for him.

وَ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْوَسِيلَةِ عَنْ يَسَارِ الرَّسُولِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ظُلَّةٌ يَأْتِي مِنْهَا النِّدَاءُ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَحَبَّ الْوَصِيَّ وَ آمَنَ بِالنَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَ الَّذِي لَهُ الْمُلْكُ الْأَعْلَى لَا فَازَ أَحَدٌ وَ لَا نَالَ الرَّوْحَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ لَقِيَ خَالِقَهُ بِالْإِخْلَاصِ لَهُمَا وَ الِاقْتِدَارِ بِنُجُومِهِمَا فَأَيْقِنُوا يَا أَهْلَ وَلَايَةِ اللَّهِ بِبَيَاضِ وُجُوهِكُمْ وَ شَرَفِ مَقْعَدِكُمْ وَ كَرَمِ مَآبِكُمْ وَ بِفَوْزِكُمُ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى سُرُرٍ مُتَقَابِلِينَ

And on the left of Al-Waseela, from the left of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj will be a shade. A Call will come out from it: ‘O people of the Pausing Place! Goodness is for the ones who loved the successorasws and believed in the ‘Ummy’ Prophetsaww, the onesaww for whom is the High Kingdom. There is no success for anyone, nor happiness for the soul, and the Paradise except for the one who is meeting his Creatorazwj with the sincerity for these twoasws and the follower of the stars (Imamsasws) from these twoasws. Be convinced, O people of Al-Wilayah of Allahazwj, of the whitening of your faces, and the prestige of your seating, and the honour of your return and your success today, with bliss, facing each other. 

وَ يَا أَهْلَ الِانْحِرَافِ وَ الصُّدُودِ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ صِرَاطِهِ وَ أَعْلَامِ الْأَزْمِنَةِ أَيْقِنُوا بِسَوَادِ وُجُوهِكُمْ وَ غَضَبِ رَبِّكُمْ جَزَاءً بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ وَ مَا مِنْ رَسُولٍ سَلَفَ وَ لَا نَبِيٍّ مَضَى إِلَّا وَ قَدْ كَانَ مُخْبِراً أُمَّتَهُ بِالْمُرْسَلِ الْوَارِدِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ مُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مُوصِياً قَوْمَهُ بِاتِّبَاعِهِ وَ مُحَلِّيَهُ عِنْدَ قَوْمِهِ لِيَعْرِفُوهُ بِصِفَتِهِ وَ لِيَتَّبِعُوهُ عَلَى شَرِيعَتِهِ وَ لِئَلَّا يَضِلُّوا فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَيَكُونَ مَنْ هَلَكَ أَوْ ضَلَّ بَعْدَ وُقُوعِ الْإِعْذَارِ وَ الْإِنْذَارِ عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ وَ تَعْيِينِ حُجَّةٍ

And O people of the deviation, and the diverters from Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Remembrance, and from Hisazwj Messengersaww, and from Hisazwj Path, and the Flags of the eras, be convinced of the blackening of your faces, and the Wrath of your Lordazwj, a Recompense of what you used to do before. And there is none from the Messengersas who preceded and none from the Prophetsas of the past except that heas had informed hisas community of the Messengersaww to come after himas, and the good news of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and bequeathed to hisas community, and described himsaww to hisas community hissaww qualities, and that they should follow himsaww and be upon hissaww Law, so that they would not stray with regards to himsaww after himas. So the ones who would face destruction and straying afterwards would only be after the occurrence of the reasons and the warnings, and having been acquainted with the evidence, and the arguments having been established. 

فَكَانَتِ الْأُمَمُ فِي رَجَاءٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَ وُرُودٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ لَئِنْ أُصِيبَتْ بِفَقْدِ نَبِيٍّ بَعْدَ نَبِيٍّ عَلَى عِظَمِ مَصَائِبِهِمْ وَ فَجَائِعِهَا بِهِمْ فَقَدْ كَانَتْ عَلَى سَعَةٍ مِنَ الْأَمَلِ وَ لَا مُصِيبَةٌ عَظُمَتْ وَ لَا رَزِيَّةٌ جَلَّتْ كَالْمُصِيبَةِ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ خَتَمَ بِهِ الْإِنْذَارَ وَ الْإِعْذَارَ وَ قَطَعَ بِهِ الِاحْتِجَاجَ وَ الْعُذْرَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ وَ جَعَلَهُ بَابَهُ الَّذِي بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ وَ مُهَيْمِنَهُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْبَلُ إِلَّا بِهِ وَ لَا قُرْبَةَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ

So the communities lived in hope about the Messengersas and the Prophetsas to come, if they were in difficult circumstances in the absence of a Prophetas after their Prophetas, in their great difficulties and disasters, so they were at the time in a state of hope. And there have never been a difficulty which was greater, and nor a disaster greater like the difficulties with the Messenger of Allahsaww, because Allahazwj Ended the Warnings, and the Reasons, and Cut-off through himsaww the Arguments, and the Reasons between Himazwj and Hisazwj creatures, and Made himsaww to be Hisazwj Door which was between Himazwj and Hisazwj servants, and as Hisazwj Authority which nothing would be Acceptable except by himsaww, nor any nearness to Himazwj except by being obedient to himsaww.

وَ قَالَ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ تَوَلَّى فَما أَرْسَلْناكَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَفِيظاً فَقَرَنَ طَاعَتَهُ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ مَعْصِيَتَهُ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ دَلِيلًا عَلَى مَا فَوَّضَ إِلَيْهِ وَ شَاهِداً لَهُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ عَصَاهُ وَ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْعَظِيمِ

And Heazwj Said Decisively in Hisazwj Book: “[4:80] Whoever obeys the Messenger, he indeed obeys Allah and whoever turns back, so We have not sent you as a keeper over them”. So Heazwj Joined obedience to Himselfazwj with obedience to himsaww, and disobedience to Himselfazwj with disobedience to himsaww. So that was the Evidence which was Delegated to himsaww, and a Testimony against the one who obeys himsaww, and disobeys himsaww, and between that in other places from the Great Book.

فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي التَّحْرِيضِ عَلَى اتَّبَاعِهِ وَ التَّرْغِيبِ فِي تَصْدِيقِهِ وَ الْقَبُولِ بِدَعْوَتِهِ قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ فَاتِّبَاعُهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَحَبَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ رِضَاهُ غُفْرَانُ الذُّنُوبِ وَ كَمَالُ الْفَوْزِ وَ وُجُوبُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ فِي التَّوَلِّي عَنْهُ وَ الْإِعْرَاضِ مُحَادَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ غَضَبُهُ وَ سَخَطُهُ وَ الْبُعْدُ مِنْهُ مُسْكِنُ النَّارِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ وَ مَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَحْزابِ فَالنَّارُ مَوْعِدُهُ يَعْنِي الْجُحُودَ بِهِ وَ الْعِصْيَانَ لَهُ

So the Blessed and the High Said in the Incitement to follow himsaww, and the Exhortation with regards to hissaww ratification, and the acceptance of hissaww Call: “[3:31] Say, (O Muhammad, tell to mankind): If you love Allah, follow me; Allah will love you and forgive you your sins”. So following himsaww achieves the Love of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Pleasure, and the Forgiveness of the sins, and the completeness of the success, and the necessitation of the Paradise. And in the turning away from himsaww achieves the Enmity of Allahazwj, and Hisazwj Wrath, and Hisazwj Harshness, and remoteness from Himazwj, and a dwelling in the Fire and that is Hisazwj Statement: “[11:17] and whoever of the (different) parties disbelieves in it, the Fire will be their promised meeting-place”, meaning the striving against himsaww and disobedience to himsaww.

فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ امْتَحَنَ بِي عِبَادَهُ وَ قَتَلَ بِيَدِي أَضْدَادَهُ وَ أَفْنَى بِسَيْفِي جُحَّادَهُ وَ جَعَلَنِي زُلْفَةً لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ حِيَاضَ مَوْتٍ عَلَى الْجَبَّارِينَ وَ سَيْفَهُ عَلَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ وَ شَدَّ بِي أَزْرَ رَسُولِهِ وَ أَكْرَمَنِي بِنَصْرِهِ وَ شَرَّفَنِي بِعِلْمِهِ وَ حَبَانِي بِأَحْكَامِهِ وَ اخْتَصَّنِي بِوَصِيَّتِهِ وَ اصْطَفَانِي بِخِلَافَتِهِ فِي أُمَّتِهِ فَقَالَ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ قَدْ حَشَدَهُ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ وَ انْغَصَّتْ بِهِمُ الْمَحَافِلُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً مِنِّي كَهَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي

Allahazwj, Blessed is Hisazwj Name, Tested Hisazwj servants by measws, and killed those that opposed Himazwj by myasws hand, and annihilated those that strived against Himazwj by myasws sword, and Made measws to be a Means of nearness to Himazwj (Zulfat) for the Believers, and a ground of death for the toughest tyrants, and Hisazwj Sword against the criminals, and Strengthened by measws the back of Hisazwj Messengersaww, and Honoured measws by helping himsaww, and Privileged measws with hissaww knowledge, and Gifted measws with hissaww Laws, and Favoured measws for hissaww successorship, and Chose measws for hissaww Caliphate in hissaww community. So hesaww said when hesaww mobilised the Emigrants and the Helpers in their gathering: ‘O you people! Surely, Aliasws is from mesaww like Harounas was from Musaas except that there is no Prophetas to come after mesaww.

فَعَقَلَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ عَنِ اللَّهِ نَطَقَ الرَّسُولُ إِذْ عَرَفُونِي أَنِّي لَسْتُ بِأَخِيهِ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ كَمَا كَانَ هَارُونُ أَخَا مُوسَى لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ وَ لَا كُنْتُ نَبِيّاً فَاقْتَضَى نُبُوَّةً وَ لَكِنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ اسْتِخْلَافاً لِي كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ مُوسَى هَارُونَ (عليه السلام) حَيْثُ يَقُولُ اخْلُفْنِي فِي قَوْمِي وَ أَصْلِحْ وَ لا تَتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

So the Believers understood that the Messengersaww was speaking on behalf of Allahazwj. They recognised measws that Iasws was not hissaww brother by hissaww fatheras or hissaww motheras as was the case with Harounsaww who was the brother of Musaas from hisas father and hisas motheras, nor was Iasws a Prophetas. The Prophet-hood has ended. But, that was from himsaww appointing measws as the Caliph just as Musaas had appointed Harounas as the Caliph when heas said: “[7:142] Take my place among my people, and act well and do not follow the way of the mischief-makers.”

وَ قَوْلُهُ ( عليه السلام ) حِينَ تَكَلَّمَتْ طَائِفَةٌ فَقَالَتْ نَحْنُ مَوَالِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِلَى حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ ثُمَّ صَارَ إِلَى غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فَأَمَرَ فَأُصْلِحَ لَهُ شِبْهُ الْمِنْبَرِ ثُمَّ عَلَاهُ وَ أَخَذَ بِعَضُدِي حَتَّى رُئِيَ بَيَاضُ إِبْطَيْهِ رَافِعاً صَوْتَهُ قَائِلًا فِي مَحْفِلِهِ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالَاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ فَكَانَتْ عَلَى وَلَايَتِي وَلَايَةُ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى عَدَاوَتِي عَدَاوَةُ اللَّهِ

And hissaww words when a group spoke saying, ‘We are the friends of the Messenger of Allahazwj’. So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj went out to the Farewell Pilgrimage, then came up to Ghadeer Khumm. So hesaww ordered for something resembling a Pulpit to be prepared to himsaww. Then hesaww ascended it, grabbed myasws arm and raised it to the extent that the whiteness of hissaww armpits were seen, and said in a raised voice in that forum: ‘The one to whom Isaww was the Master of, so Aliasws is his Master. Our Allahazwj! Befriend the one who befriends himasws, and be Inimical to the one who is an enemy to himasws. Thus, upon myasws Wilayah is the Wilayah of Allahazwj, and upon myasws enmity is the enmity against Allahazwj.

وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَ رَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلامَ دِيناً فَكَانَتْ وَلَايَتِي كَمَالَ الدِّينِ وَ رِضَا الرَّبِّ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اخْتِصَاصاً لِي وَ تَكَرُّماً نَحَلَنِيهِ وَ إِعْظَاماً وَ تَفْصِيلًا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنَحَنِيهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ رُدُّوا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَوْلاهُمُ الْحَقِّ أَلا لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَ هُوَ أَسْرَعُ الْحاسِبِينَ

And Allahazwj, Mighty and Majestic Revealed in that day: “[5:3] This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion”. So upon myasws Wilayah was the completion of the Religion, and the Pleasure of the Lordazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Remembrance. And Allahazwj, Blessed and High, Revealed it especially for measws and Honoured the Gifting it for measws as (a sign of) greatness, and its gifting from the Messenger of Allahsaww, and it is the Statement of the High: “[6:62] Then are men returned unto Allah, their protector, the (only) reality: Is not His the command? and He is the swiftest in taking account.”

فِيَّ مَنَاقِبُ لَوْ ذَكَرْتُهَا لَعَظُمَ بِهَا الِارْتِفَاعُ فَطَالَ لَهَا الِاسْتِمَاعُ وَ لَئِنْ تَقَمَّصَهَا دُونِيَ الْأَشْقَيَانِ وَ نَازَعَانِي فِيمَا لَيْسَ لَهُمَا بِحَقٍّ وَ رَكِبَاهَا ضَلَالَةً وَ اعْتَقَدَاهَا جَهَالَةً فَلَبِئْسَ مَا عَلَيْهِ وَرَدَا وَ لَبِئْسَ مَا لِأَنْفُسِهِمَا مَهَّدَا يَتَلَاعَنَانِ فِي دُورِهِمَا وَ يَتَبَرَّأُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ يَقُولُ لِقَرِينِهِ إِذَا الْتَقَيَا يا لَيْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ بُعْدَ الْمَشْرِقَيْنِ فَبِئْسَ الْقَرِينُ فَيُجِيبُهُ الْأَشْقَى عَلَى رُثُوثَةٍ يَا لَيْتَنِي لَمْ أَتَّخِذْكَ خَلِيلًا لَقَدْ أَضْلَلْتَنِي عَنِ الذِّكْرِ بَعْدَ إِذْ جَاءَنِي وَ كَانَ الشَّيْطَانُ لِلْإِنْسَانِ خَذُولًا

If Iasws were to mention myasws merits, its loftiness would be great, and it’s listening prolonged. And about measws, two miserable ones before measws disputed with measws regarding that in which they had no rights over it, and they rode its misguidance, and believed in the ignorance. So evil is what was to them, what they returned to, and evil is what they made as a cradle for themselves. They cursed each other in their own houses, and each one of them distanced himself from his companion saying to him when he met him, ‘Alas! If only there was the distance between the East and the West between me and between you’. So evil is the friend who answered him, the miserable one upon his ragged condition, “[25:28] O woe is me! would that I had not taken such a one for a friend. [25:29] He verily led me astray from the Reminder after it had reached me. Satan was ever man's deserter in the hour of need”.

فَأَنَا الذِّكْرُ الَّذِي عَنْهُ ضَلَّ وَ السَّبِيلُ الَّذِي عَنْهُ مَالَ وَ الْإِيمَانُ الَّذِي بِهِ كَفَرَ وَ الْقُرْآنُ الَّذِي إِيَّاهُ هَجَرَ وَ الدِّينُ الَّذِي بِهِ كَذَّبَ وَ الصِّرَاطُ الَّذِي عَنْهُ نَكَبَ وَ لَئِنْ رَتَعَا فِي الْحُطَامِ الْمُنْصَرِمِ وَ الْغُرُورِ الْمُنْقَطِعِ وَ كَانَا مِنْهُ عَلَى شَفَا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ لَهُمَا عَلَى شَرِّ وُرُودٍ فِي أَخْيَبِ وُفُودٍ وَ أَلْعَنِ مَوْرُودٍ يَتَصَارَخَانِ بِاللَّعْنَةِ وَ يَتَنَاعَقَانِ بِالْحَسْرَةِ مَا لَهُمَا مِنْ رَاحَةٍ وَ لَا عَنْ عَذَابِهِمَا مِنْ مَنْدُوحَةٍ

So Iasws am the Reminder from which he went astray, and the Way from which he deviated, and the Belief which he denied, and the Quran from which he fled, and the Religion which he belied, and the Path from which he digressed. And the debris which they lived upon in their constant pride, they were on it on the verge of the Fire (prepared) for them - an evil return amongst the wicked group, to a condemned destination. They will be shouting curses at each other grumbling in regret. There will be no rest for these two; nor a respite from their inevitable Punishment.

إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ لَمْ يَزَالُوا عُبَّادَ أَصْنَامٍ وَ سَدَنَةَ أَوْثَانٍ يُقِيمُونَ لَهَا الْمَنَاسِكَ وَ يَنْصِبُونَ لَهَا الْعَتَائِرَ وَ يَتَّخِذُونَ لَهَا الْقُرْبَانَ وَ يَجْعَلُونَ لَهَا الْبَحِيرَةَ وَ الْوَصِيلَةَ وَ السَّائِبَةَ وَ الْحَامَ وَ يَسْتَقْسِمُونَ بِالْأَزْلَامِ عَامِهِينَ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ حَائِرِينَ عَنِ الرَّشَادِ مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الْبِعَادِ وَ قَدِ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ غَمَرَتْهُمْ سَوْدَاءُ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ رَضَعُوهَا جَهَالَةً وَ انْفَطَمُوهَا ضَلَالَةً

The people never ceased to be the worshippers of the idols and being the custodians of the idols, establishing rituals for them, and designated certain offerings for them in order to seek nearness to them. And they made for them titles such as ‘Al-Baheyra, and Al-Waseyla, and Al-Sa’ebat, and Al-Haam’. They distributed these idols by casting lots by arrows, wondering about Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Remembrance. They were confused about the guidance, hastening to the remoteness, and they had been overcome by Satanla who had flooded them with the darkness of ignorance, having breastfed them with ignorance and weaned them with misguidance.

فَأَخْرَجَنَا اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ رَحْمَةً وَ أَطْلَعَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ رَأْفَةً وَ أَسْفَرَ بِنَا عَنِ الْحُجُبِ نُوراً لِمَنِ اقْتَبَسَهُ وَ فَضْلًا لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ تَأْيِيداً لِمَنْ صَدَّقَهُ فَتَبَوَّءُوا الْعِزَّ بَعْدَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ الْكَثْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْقِلَّةِ وَ هَابَتْهُمُ الْقُلُوبُ وَ الْأَبْصَارُ وَ أَذْعَنَتْ لَهُمُ الْجَبَابِرَةُ وَ طَوَائِفُهَا وَ صَارُوا أَهْلَ نِعْمَةٍ مَذْكُورَةٍ وَ كَرَامَةٍ مَيْسُورَةٍ وَ أَمْنٍ بَعْدَ خَوْفٍ وَ جَمْعٍ بَعْدَ كَوْفٍ

Allahazwj Brought usasws out to them as a Mercy, and Informed about usasws as being higher than them, and Removed the Veil of Light from usasws for those that sought usasws, and Preferred the ones who followed it (the Light), and weasws were a support for the ones who ratified it. So honour followed after the disgrace, and the plenty after the scarcity. And their hearts and their eyes revered them, and the tyrants yielded to them, and its respective communities became the people of the Bounties, being worthy of mention, and prestigious, and ease, and security after fear, and ‘جَمْعٍ’ union after having been separated.

وَ أَضَاءَتْ بِنَا مَفَاخِرُ مَعَدِّ بْنِ عَدْنَانَ وَ أَوْلَجْنَاهُمْ بَابَ الْهُدَى وَ أَدْخَلْنَاهُمْ دَارَ السَّلَامِ وَ أَشْمَلْنَاهُمْ ثَوْبَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فَلَجُوا بِنَا فِي الْعَالَمِينَ وَ أَبْدَتْ لَهُمْ أَيَّامُ الرَّسُولِ آثَارَ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ حَامٍ مُجَاهِدٍ وَ مُصَلٍّ قَانِتٍ وَ مُعْتَكِفٍ زَاهِدٍ يُظْهِرُونَ الْأَمَانَةَ وَ يَأْتُونَ الْمَثَابَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا دَعَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيَّهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ

And Ma’d Bin Adnan was illuminated (famous) due to usasws and weasws inserted them in the Door of Guidance, and weasws entered them into the House of Peace, and weasws clothed them with the garment of Belief, and they became famous due to usasws in the worlds, and the effects of the righteous people appeared for them in the days of the Messengersaww, from a striving protector, and an obedient worshipper, and an ascetic retreater, and they preserved the trusts and became as such until when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Called back Hisazwj Prophetsaww and Raised himsaww to Himselfazwj.

لَمْ يَكُ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَهُ إِلَّا كَلَمْحَةٍ مِنْ خَفْقَةٍ أَوْ وَمِيضٍ مِنْ بَرْقَةٍ إِلَى أَنْ رَجَعُوا عَلَى الْأَعْقَابِ وَ انْتَكَصُوا عَلَى الْأَدْبَارِ وَ طَلَبُوا بِالْأَوْتَارِ وَ أَظْهَرُوا الْكَتَائِبَ وَ رَدَمُوا الْبَابَ وَ فَلُّوا الدِّيَارَ وَ غَيَّرُوا آثَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ رَغِبُوا عَنْ أَحْكَامِهِ وَ بَعُدُوا مِنْ أَنْوَارِهِ وَ اسْتَبْدَلُوا بِمُسْتَخْلَفِهِ بَدِيلًا لَمْ يَكُ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَهُ إِلَّا كَلَمْحَةٍ مِنْ خَفْقَةٍ أَوْ وَمِيضٍ مِنْ بَرْقَةٍ إِلَى أَنْ رَجَعُوا عَلَى الْأَعْقَابِ وَ انْتَكَصُوا عَلَى الْأَدْبَارِ وَ طَلَبُوا بِالْأَوْتَارِ وَ أَظْهَرُوا الْكَتَائِبَ وَ رَدَمُوا الْبَابَ وَ فَلُّوا الدِّيَارَ وَ غَيَّرُوا آثَارَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ رَغِبُوا عَنْ أَحْكَامِهِ وَ بَعُدُوا مِنْ أَنْوَارِهِ وَ اسْتَبْدَلُوا بِمُسْتَخْلَفِهِ بَدِيلًا اتَّخَذُوهُ وَ كَانُوا ظَالِمِينَ وَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّ مَنِ اخْتَارُوا مِنْ آلِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَوْلَى بِمَقَامِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِمَّنِ اخْتَارَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِمَقَامِهِ وَ أَنَّ مُهَاجِرَ آلِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِيِّ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ الرَّبَّانِيِّ نَامُوسِ هَاشِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ شَهَادَةِ زُورٍ وَقَعَتْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ شَهَادَتُهُمْ أَنَّ صَاحِبَهُمْ مُسْتَخْلَفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

That was not after himsaww except like a moment of pulse, or a glimmer of lightning for them to return back and turn back upon their heels, and sought revenge by forming battalions, and they blocked the Door and destroyed the houses, and changed the effects of the Messenger of Allahsaww, and turned away from hissaww rulings, and distanced themselves from hissaww Light, and they changed hissaww Caliph with an alternate. They took to him, and they were unjust in doing so, and they thought that the one whom they had chosen from the descendants of Abu Kohafa (Abu Bakr) is higher in status than the oneasws whom the Messengersaww of Allahazwj had chosen to be in hissaww place, and that the Emigrants from the progeny of Abu Kohafa were better than the Emigrants and the Helpers of the Rabbi of the Law Hashim Bin Abd Manafas. Nay! The first false testimony which occurred in Al-Islam was their testimony that their companion (Abu Bakr) is the one whom the Messengersaww of Allahazwj had made to be the Caliph.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِ سَعْدِ بْنِ عُبَادَةَ مَا كَانَ رَجَعُوا عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالُوا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَضَى وَ لَمْ يَسْتَخْلِفْ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الطَّيِّبُ الْمُبَارَكُ أَوَّلَ مَشْهُودٍ عَلَيْهِ بِالزُّورِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ يَجِدُونَ غِبَّ مَا [يَعْلَمُونَ وَ سَيَجِدُونَ التَّالُونَ غِبَّ مَا] أَسَّسَهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ لَئِنْ كَانُوا فِي مَنْدُوحَةٍ مِنَ الْمَهْلِ وَ شِفَاءٍ مِنَ الْأَجَلِ وَ سَعَةٍ مِنَ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ اسْتِدْرَاجٍ مِنَ الْغُرُورِ وَ سُكُونٍ مِنَ الْحَالِ وَ إِدْرَاكٍ مِنَ الْأَمَلِ

So when the matter of Sa’d Bin Ubada was what it was, they retracted from that and said that the Messengersaww of Allahazwj passed away and did not appoint a Caliph. So the Messenger of Allahsaww, the good, the Blessed, was the first one in Al-Islam against who the false testimony was borne. And after a little while they found out the evil of what (they came to know and found out the consequences of the evil of what) the former ones had established. And they had an alternative and an opportunity to recover from the death, and had the time to turn around from the lure of pride, and be in a tranquil condition, and the realisation of the deeds. 

فَقَدْ أَمْهَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ شَدَّادَ بْنَ عَادٍ وَ ثَمُودَ بْنَ عَبُّودٍ وَ بَلْعَمَ بْنَ بَاعُورٍ وَ أَسْبَغَ عَلَيْهِمْ نِعَمَهُ ظَاهِرَةً وَ بَاطِنَةً وَ أَمَدَّهُمْ بِالْأَمْوَالِ وَ الْأَعْمَارِ وَ أَتَتْهُمُ الْأَرْضُ بِبَرَكَاتِهَا لِيَذَّكَّرُوا آلَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ لِيَعْرِفُوا الْإِهَابَةَ لَهُ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لِيَنْتَهُوا عَنِ الِاسْتِكْبَارِ

Allahazwj had respited Shaddaad Bin Aad, and Thamud Bin Abbuwad, and Bal’am Bin Ba’our, and Bestowed upon them Hisazwj Favours, both apparent as well as hidden, Supplied them with the wealth, and the (prolongation) of their lives, and Granted them the land, so that due to these Blessings they would Remember the Signs of Allahazwj, and they would recognise and be awed by Himazwj, and turn to Himazwj, and bring an end to their arrogance.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغُوا الْمُدَّةَ وَ اسْتَتَمُّوا الْأُكْلَةَ أَخَذَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اصْطَلَمَهُمْ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ حُصِبَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَخَذَتْهُ الصَّيْحَةُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَحْرَقَتْهُ الظُّلَّةُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَوْدَتْهُ الرَّجْفَةُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَرْدَتْهُ الْخَسْفَةُ فَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَ لكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ

So before they reached their (allocated) time, and enjoy their meal, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Grabbed them and cut them down. Some of them from sandstorm, some were overtaken by a scream, and some from being burned by the shadow, and some from the tremors, and some from sinking of the earth. Allahazwj was not Unjust to them, but they had been unjust to their own selves. 

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ أَجَلٍ كِتَاباً فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْكِتَابُ أَجَلَهُ لَوْ كُشِفَ لَكَ عَمَّا هَوَى إِلَيْهِ الظَّالِمُونَ وَ آلَ إِلَيْهِ الْأَخْسَرُونَ لَهَرَبْتَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِمَّا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ مُقِيمُونَ وَ إِلَيْهِ صَائِرُونَ

Indeed! For every term there is a writing. So when the writing reaches its term, and it is uncovered for you about what would befall the unjust ones, and what the greatest losers have got to, you will run towards Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic from what they had been involved in and to what they are proceeding to.

أَلَا وَ إِنِّي فِيكُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ كَهَارُونَ فِي آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ كَبَابِ حِطَّةٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ كَسَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ فِي قَوْمِ نُوحٍ إِنِّي النَّبَأُ الْعَظِيمُ وَ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ

Nay! And Iasws am among you, O you people, like Harounas was in the people of the Pharaohla, and like the Door of Hitta in the Children of Israel, and like the Ark of Noahas in the people of Noahas. Iasws am the Great News (Al-Nabaa Al-Azeem), and the Great Truthful (Al-Siddique Al-Akbar),

وَ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ سَتَعْلَمُونَ مَا تُوعَدُونَ وَ هَلْ هِيَ إِلَّا كَلُعْقَةِ الْآكِلِ وَ مَذْقَةِ الشَّارِبِ وَ خَفْقَةِ الْوَسْنَانِ ثُمَّ تُلْزِمُهُمُ الْمَعَرَّاتُ خِزْياً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلى أَشَدِّ الْعَذابِ وَ مَا اللَّهُ بِغَافِلٍ عَمَّا يَعْمَلُونَ فَمَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ تَنَكَّبَ مَحَجَّتَهُ وَ أَنْكَرَ حُجَّتَهُ وَ خَالَفَ هُدَاتَهُ وَ حَادَّ عَنْ نُورِهِ وَ اقْتَحَمَ فِي ظُلَمِهِ وَ اسْتَبْدَلَ بِالْمَاءِ السَّرَابَ وَ بِالنَّعِيمِ الْعَذَابَ وَ بِالْفَوْزِ الشَّقَاءَ وَ بِالسَّرَّاءِ الضَّرَّاءَ وَ بِالسَّعَةِ الضَّنْكَ

And after a little while you will come to know what had been Promised to you. And is this anything else but (was committed) for a morsel of food, and a sip of drink, light sleep. Then the disgrace will be necessitated upon them in the world, and on the Day of Judgement they will be returning to intense Punishment. And Allahazwj is not Oblivious (forgetful) of what they have done. So what is the Recompense for the one who turned away from Hisazwj Proofasws, and denied Hisazwj Argument, and opposed Hisazwj Guidesasws, and turned away from Hisazwj Light and stormed (his way) into the darkness, and exchanged water for the mirage, and Bounties for the Punishment, and the success for the misery, and prosperity for the poverty, and the ease for the hardship.

إِلَّا جَزَاءُ اقْتِرَافِهِ وَ سُوءُ خِلَافِهِ فَلْيُوقِنُوا بِالْوَعْدِ عَلَى حَقِيقَتِهِ وَ لْيَسْتَيْقِنُوا بِمَا يُوعَدُونَ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي الصَّيْحَةَ بِالْحَقِّ ذلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخُرُوجِ إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِي وَ نُمِيتُ وَ إِلَيْنَا الْمَصِيرُ يَوْمَ تَشَقَّقُ الْأَرْضُ عَنْهُمْ سِراعاً ـ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ ـ .

Nay! This is the Recompense of what they had sown and done before. So be certain of the Promise and of its reality, and be assured of what has been Promised on the Day of the coming of the ‘Scream’ (Dooms Day), with the Truth. “[50:42] The day when they shall hear the cry in truth; that is the day of coming forth. [50:43] Surely We give life and cause to die, and to Us is the eventuAl-coming [50:44] The day on which the earth shall cleave asunder under them, they will make haste; that is a gathering together easy to Us”.

خُطْبَةُ الطَّالُوتِيَّةِ

SERMON OF AL-TAALUTIYYA

14453 -مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَمْرٍو الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ كُهَيْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) خَطَبَ النَّاسَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ

H 14453 – Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ma’mar, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Ayyub Al-Ash’ary, from Amro Al-Awza’iy, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Salma Biin Kuheyl, from Abu Al-Haysam Bin Al-Tayhaan who has narrated:

Amir-ul-Momineenasws gave a sermon to the people at Al-Medina.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ كَانَ حَيّاً بِلَا كَيْفٍ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كَانٌ وَ لَا كَانَ لِكَانِهِ كَيْفٌ وَ لَا كَانَ لَهُ أَيْنٌ وَ لَا كَانَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا كَانَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا ابْتَدَعَ لِكَانِهِ مَكَاناً وَ لَا قَوِيَ بَعْدَ مَا كَوَّنَ شَيْئاً وَ لَا كَانَ ضَعِيفاً قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَوِّنَ شَيْئاً وَ لَا كَانَ مُسْتَوْحِشاً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْتَدِعَ شَيْئاً وَ لَا يُشْبِهُ شَيْئاً وَ لَا كَانَ خِلْواً عَنِ الْمُلْكِ قَبْلَ إِنْشَائِهِ وَ لَا يَكُونُ خِلْواً مِنْهُ بَعْدَ ذَهَابِهِ كَانَ إِلَهاً حَيّاً بِلَا حَيَاةٍ وَ مَالِكاً قَبْلَ أَنْ يُنْشِئَ شَيْئاً وَ مَالِكاً بَعْدَ إِنْشَائِهِ لِلْكَوْنِ

Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘All Praise is due to Allahazwj besides Whomazwj there is no god but Him azwj. Heazwj was Alive without (dependence on) any quality and without reliance on anything but on Himselfazwj to exist nor can there be ‘where’ for Himazwj, nor Heazwj is within anything, nor Heazwj is upon anything, nor there is a beginning place for Himazwj, and He azwj is not strong after having Created a thing, nor was Heazwj weak before anything came into being, nor was Heazwj lonely before Heazwj Began anything, nor is there anything which Resembles Himazwj, nor was Heazwj without a Kingdom before Heazwj Created it, nor will Heazwj be without it after it goes away. Heazwj is a Living God without having a lifespan, and Heazwj was the Owner before Heazwj Created anything, and will be the Owner after having Creating the Universe.

وَ لَيْسَ يَكُونُ لِلَّهِ كَيْفٌ وَ لَا أَيْنٌ وَ لَا حَدٌّ يُعْرَفُ وَ لَا شَيْ‏ءٌ يُشْبِهُهُ وَ لَا يَهْرَمُ لِطُولِ بَقَائِهِ وَ لَا يَضْعُفُ لِذُعْرَةٍ وَ لَا يَخَافُ كَمَا تَخَافُ خَلِيقَتُهُ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَكِنْ سَمِيعٌ بِغَيْرِ سَمْعٍ وَ بَصِيرٌ بِغَيْرِ بَصَرٍ وَ قَوِيٌّ بِغَيْرِ قُوَّةٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ حَدَقُ النَّاظِرِينَ وَ لَا يُحِيطُ بِسَمْعِهِ سَمْعُ السَّامِعِينَ

And there cannot be for Allahazwj, ‘How’ nor ‘Where’, and no Limit to be Recognised by, and nothing resembles Himazwj, and Heazwj does not age due to the Duration of Hisazwj Remaining, nor does Heazwj weaken due to being Alone, nor does Heazwj get scared like Hisazwj creatures do due to something. But, Heazwj is All Hearing without having ears, Heazwj is All Seeing without having eyes, and Heazwj is Almighty without deriving strength from Hisazwj creatures. The gaze of the lookers cannot perceive Himazwj, and the ears of the listeners cannot sense (hear) Himazwj.

إِذَا أَرَادَ شَيْئاً كَانَ بِلَا مَشُورَةٍ وَ لَا مُظَاهَرَةٍ وَ لَا مُخَابَرَةٍ وَ لَا يَسْأَلُ أَحَداً عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَرَادَهُ لا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصارُ وَ هُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصارَ وَ هُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَرْسَلَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَ دِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَبَلَّغَ الرِّسَالَةَ وَ أَنْهَجَ الدَّلَالَةَ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

If Heazwj Intends something, it would be without any consultation, or demonstration, or informing, or asking anyone about anything from Hisazwj creatures, of Hisazwj Intention. The vision cannot perceive Himazwj, but Heazwj Sees all visions. And Heazwj is the Kind, the Aware, and Iasws testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, One, having no associates for Himazwj, and Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant. Heazwj Sent himasws with the Guidance, and the true Religion, to overcome all the religions even though the Polytheists may not like it. So hesaww preached the Message, and Iasws follow the evidence.

أَيُّهَا الْأُمَّةُ الَّتِي خُدِعَتْ فَانْخَدَعَتْ وَ عَرَفَتْ خَدِيعَةَ مَنْ خَدَعَهَا فَأَصَرَّتْ عَلَى مَا عَرَفَتْ وَ اتَّبَعَتْ أَهْوَاءَهَا وَ ضَرَبَتْ فِي عَشْوَاءِ غَوَايَتِهَا وَ قَدِ اسْتَبَانَ لَهَا الْحَقُّ فَصَدَّتْ عَنْهُ وَ الطَّرِيقُ الْوَاضِحُ فَتَنَكَّبَتْهُ

O you community which has been deceived, and understood the deception of the deceiver who deceived it, but still persisted upon what it recognised, and wandered randomly in its seduction. And the truth had been clarified but they still turned away from it, and the path was made clear but they still deviated from it.

أَمَا وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَوِ اقْتَبَسْتُمُ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ مَعْدِنِهِ وَ شَرِبْتُمُ الْمَاءَ بِعُذُوبَتِهِ وَ ادَّخَرْتُمُ الْخَيْرَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ وَ أَخَذْتُمُ الطَّرِيقَ مِنْ وَاضِحِهِ وَ سَلَكْتُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ نَهْجَهُ لَنَهَجَتْ بِكُمُ السُّبُلُ وَ بَدَتْ لَكُمُ الْأَعْلَامُ وَ أَضَاءَ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلَامُ فَأَكَلْتُمْ رَغَداً وَ مَا عَالَ فِيكُمْ عَائِلٌ وَ لَا ظُلِمَ مِنْكُمْ مُسْلِمٌ وَ لَا مُعَاهَدٌ وَ لَكِنْ سَلَكْتُمْ سَبِيلَ الظَّلَامِ فَأَظْلَمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ دُنْيَاكُمْ بِرُحْبِهَا وَ سُدَّتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَبْوَابُ الْعِلْمِ فَقُلْتُمْ بِأَهْوَائِكُمْ وَ اخْتَلَفْتُمْ فِي دِينِكُمْ فَأَفْتَيْتُمْ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ

But, by the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and stemmed life from it, had you sought the knowledge from its Mine, and drank the water with its sweetness, and kept the good in its place, and take the path which was clear, and approached the truth by its programme the way would have been set out for you, and the signs would have appeared to you, and Al-Islam would have been illuminated for you. So you would have eaten plentiful, and there would have been no breadwinner among you who would have failed (to earn), nor any injustice would have been done to any Muslim or allies. But, you walked upon the path of the darkness, so your world became dark for you by its vastness. And the doors of knowledge were closed to you so you spoke from your own desires, and differed in your Religion, and started issuing verdicts (Fatwas) in the Religion of Allahazwj without (being Blessed with the) Knowledge.

وَ اتَّبَعْتُمُ الْغُوَاةَ فَأَغْوَتْكُمْ وَ تَرَكْتُمُ الْأَئِمَّةَ فَتَرَكُوكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ تَحْكُمُونَ بِأَهْوَائِكُمْ إِذَا ذُكِرَ الْأَمْرُ سَأَلْتُمْ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ فَإِذَا أَفْتَوْكُمْ قُلْتُمْ هُوَ الْعِلْمُ بِعَيْنِهِ فَكَيْفَ وَ قَدْ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ وَ نَبَذْتُمُوهُ وَ خَالَفْتُمُوهُ رُوَيْداً عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ تَحْصُدُونَ جَمِيعَ مَا زَرَعْتُمْ وَ تَجِدُونَ وَخِيمَ مَا اجْتَرَمْتُمْ وَ مَا اجْتَلَبْتُمْ

And you followed the misguided people so they misguided you, and you abandoned the Imamsasws so theyasws abandoned you. So you took control (of your own affairs) through judging by your own desires. When a matter was mentioned, you asked the Peopleasws of the Remembrance (Ahl Al-Zikr), so when theyasws issued a verdict (Fatwa) to you, you said, ‘This is exactly the knowledge’. So how come you have abandoned himasws, and neglected himasws, and opposed himasws? Slowly (but surely), just wait a little while, and you will harvest all of what you have cultivated, and you will find the evil of what you have done and sought. 

وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي صَاحِبُكُمْ وَ الَّذِي بِهِ أُمِرْتُمْ وَ أَنِّي عَالِمُكُمْ وَ الَّذِي بِعِلْمِهِ نَجَاتُكُمْ وَ وَصِيُّ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَ خِيَرَةُ رَبِّكُمْ وَ لِسَانُ نُورِكُمْ وَ الْعَالِمُ بِمَا يُصْلِحُكُمْ

By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and stemmed life from it, you knew that Iasws was your Master and the oneasws whom you had been Commanded (for being obedient to), and Iasws am more knowledgeable than you all and the oneasws by whose knowledge was your salvation, and the successorasws of your Prophetsaww, and the best of your Lordazwj, and the tongue (speaker) for your light (guidance), and the knowledge by which you can correct yourselves.

فَعَنْ قَلِيلٍ رُوَيْداً يَنْزِلُ بِكُمْ مَا وُعِدْتُمْ وَ مَا نَزَلَ بِالْأُمَمِ قَبْلَكُمْ وَ سَيَسْأَلُكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ أَئِمَّتِكُمْ مَعَهُمْ تُحْشَرُونَ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ غَداً تَصِيرُونَ

So slowly (but surely) what has been narrated will descend upon you all, what has been promised, that which descended upon the communities before you. And Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Question you all about your Imamsasws with whomasws you will be raised, and to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic you will be going to tomorrow.

أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ لِي عِدَّةُ أَصْحَابِ طَالُوتَ أَوْ عِدَّةُ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَ هُمْ أَعْدَاؤُكُمْ لَضَرَبْتُكُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ حَتَّى تَئُولُوا إِلَى الْحَقِّ وَ تُنِيبُوا لِلصِّدْقِ فَكَانَ أَرْتَقَ لِلْفَتْقِ وَ آخَذَ بِالرِّفْقِ اللَّهُمَّ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْحَاكِمِينَ

But, by Allahazwj, if Iasws had for measws, the number of companions which Talut had, or the number of the people at Badr who oppose your enemies, Iasws would have struck by the sword until you would have come to the truth, and you would have repented sincerely. So that would have been more suitable than mending the rifts and taking to friendliness. Our Allahazwj, Judge between us with the truth, and Youazwj are the Best of the Judges’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَرَّ بِصِيرَةٍ فِيهَا نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي رِجَالًا يَنْصَحُونَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ بِعَدَدِ هَذِهِ الشِّيَاهِ لَأَزَلْتُ ابْنَ آكِلَةِ الذِّبَّانِ عَنْ مُلْكِهِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws went out from the Masjid. Heasws passed by a herd in which were around thirty sheep, so heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, if Iasws had for measws for the sake of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww, the number of these sheep, Iasws would have removed the son of the woman who ate unhealthy things, from his kingdom’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَمْسَى بَايَعَهُ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ سِتُّونَ رَجُلًا عَلَى الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) اغْدُوا بِنَا إِلَى أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ مُحَلِّقِينَ وَ حَلَقَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَمَا وَافَى مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مُحَلِّقاً إِلَّا أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَ جَاءَ سَلْمَانُ فِي آخِرِ الْقَوْمِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘When it was evening, three hundred and sixty men had pledged allegiance to himasws, to the death. So Amir-ul-Momineenasws said to them: ‘Come to us (in the morning) to the Ahjaar Al-Zayt having shaved (your heads)’. And Amir-ul-Momineenasws shaved (hisasws head). No one from the people remained loyal, except for Abu Dharrar, and Al-Miqdadar, and Huzayfa Al-Yamaniar, and Ammar Bin Yasserar, and Salmanar.

فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ اسْتَضْعَفُونِي كَمَا اسْتَضْعَفَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ هَارُونَ اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ مَا نُخْفِي وَ مَا نُعْلِنُ وَ مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ تَوَفَّنِي مُسْلِماً وَ أَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

So heasws raised hisasws hands towards the sky and said: ‘Our Allahazwj! The people have weakened measws just as the Children of Israel had weakened Harounas. Our Allahazwj! Youazwj Know what we hide and what we proclaim, and there is nothing which is hidden from Youazwj in the earth, nor in the sky. Make me to pass away as a Muslim, and Associate measws with the righteous ones’.

أَمَا وَ الْبَيْتِ وَ الْمُفْضِي إِلَى الْبَيْتِ [وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ وَ الْمُزْدَلِفَةِ] وَ الْخِفَافِ إِلَى التَّجْمِيرِ لَوْ لَا عَهْدٌ عَهِدَهُ إِلَيَّ النَّبِيُّ الْأُمِّيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَأَوْرَدْتُ الْمُخَالِفِينَ خَلِيجَ الْمَنِيَّةِ وَ لَأَرْسَلْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ شَآبِيبَ صَوَاعِقِ الْمَوْتِ وَ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ سَيَعْلَمُونَ .

But, by the House (Kaaba), and the Leading up to the House (and in another copy, ‘Al-Muzdalifa’), and the walking to the throwing of the pebbles, had it not been for the oath which the Ummy[6] Prophetsaww had taken from measws, Iasws would have returned the opposition to the gulf of the death, and Iasws would have sent upon them thunderbolts of the death, and after a little while they will come to know’.

14454-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ وَ قَدْ خَفَرَهُ النَّفَسُ فَلَمَّا أَخَذَ مَجْلِسَهُ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا هَذَا النَّفَسُ الْعَالِي فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ كَبِرَ سِنِّي وَ دَقَّ عَظْمِي وَ اقْتَرَبَ أَجَلِي مَعَ أَنَّنِي لَسْتُ أَدْرِي مَا أَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَمْرِ آخِرَتِي

H 14454 – A number from our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father who said:

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, when Abu Baseer came up to himasws, and he was panting. So when he took his seat, Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘O Abu Muhammad, what is this heavy breathing for?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, O sonasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, great is my age, and my bones are creaking, and my term (death) is approaching, besides that I do not know what will happen to me from the matters of the Hereafter’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّكَ لَتَقُولُ هَذَا قَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ كَيْفَ لَا أَقُولُ هَذَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُكْرِمُ الشَّبَابَ مِنْكُمْ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْكُهُولِ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَكَيْفَ يُكْرِمُ الشَّبَابَ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْكُهُولِ فَقَالَ يُكْرِمُ اللَّهُ الشَّبَابَ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْكُهُولِ أَنْ يُحَاسِبَهُمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا لَنَا خَاصَّةً أَمْ لِأَهْلِ التَّوْحِيدِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا لَكُمْ خَاصَّةً دُونَ الْعَالَمِ

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, and you are saying this?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, and how can I not say this?’ Hesaww said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, but do you know that Allahazwj the High has Honoured the young ones among you, and is Bashful towards the elderly?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, so how has Heazwj Honoured the young, and been Bashful towards the elderly?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj has Honoured the young ones (too much) to Punish them, and is too Bashful towards the elderly to bring them to the Reckoning’. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, is this especially for us, or for (all) the people of Tawheed (Believe in the Unity of Allahazwj)?’ Heasws said: ‘No, by Allahazwj, it is only for you (Shiites) especially, apart from the whole world’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِنَّا قَدْ نُبِزْنَا نَبْزاً انْكَسَرَتْ لَهُ ظُهُورُنَا وَ مَاتَتْ لَهُ أَفْئِدَتُنَا وَ اسْتَحَلَّتْ لَهُ الْوُلَاةُ دِمَاءَنَا فِي حَدِيثٍ رَوَاهُ لَهُمْ فُقَهَاؤُهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الرَّافِضَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا هُمْ سَمَّوْكُمْ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمَّاكُمْ بِهِ

He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, we are being named by a name which is breaking our backs, and killing our hearts, and our blood has been declared lawful to be shed in the Hadeeth which are being narrated to them from their scholars’. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Is it ‘Al-Rafiza’ (the rejectors)?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘No, by Allahazwj, they are not the ones who have named you as such, but it is Allahazwj Who has Named you all with it’.

أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَّ سَبْعِينَ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَفَضُوا فِرْعَوْنَ وَ قَوْمَهُ لَمَّا اسْتَبَانَ لَهُمْ ضَلَالُهُمْ فَلَحِقُوا بِمُوسَى (عليه السلام) لَمَّا اسْتَبَانَ لَهُمْ هُدَاهُ فَسُمُّوا فِي عَسْكَرِ مُوسَى الرَّافِضَةَ لِأَنَّهُمْ رَفَضُوا فِرْعَوْنَ وَ كَانُوا أَشَدَّ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الْعَسْكَرِ عِبَادَةً وَ أَشَدَّهُمْ حُبّاً لِمُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا ( عليهما السلام )

But, do you know, O Abu Muhammad that seventy men from the Children of Israel rejected the Pharaohla and his people, when they detected his misguidance. So they attached themselves with Musaas when they detected hisas guidance. So they were named (referred to) in the army of Musaas as Al-Rafiza (The Rejectors) because they had rejected the Pharaohla, and they were the most intense worshippers in that army, and very intense in their love for Musaas and Harounas and theiras offspring.

فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) أَنْ أَثْبِتْ لَهُمْ هَذَا الِاسْمَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ سَمَّيْتُهُمْ بِهِ وَ نَحَلْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ فَأَثْبَتَ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) الِاسْمَ لَهُمْ ثُمَّ ذَخَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَكُمْ هَذَا الِاسْمَ حَتَّى نَحَلَكُمُوهُ

So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Musaas that: “Establish this name for them in the Torah, for Iazwj has Named them with it, and have Gifted it to them”. So Musaas established the name for them, then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Reserved this name for you all to the extent that weasws have gifted it to you.

يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَضُوا الْخَيْرَ وَ رَفَضْتُمُ الشَّرَّ افْتَرَقَ النَّاسُ كُلَّ فِرْقَةٍ وَ تَشَعَّبُوا كُلَّ شُعْبَةٍ فَانْشَعَبْتُمْ مَعَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ ذَهَبْتُمْ حَيْثُ ذَهَبُوا وَ اخْتَرْتُمْ مَنِ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَ أَرَدْتُمْ مَنْ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ فَأَبْشِرُوا ثُمَّ أَبْشِرُوا فَأَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ الْمَرْحُومُونَ الْمُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْ مُحْسِنِكُمْ وَ الْمُتَجَاوَزُ عَنْ مُسِيئِكُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنْهُ حَسَنَةٌ وَ لَمْ يُتَجَاوَزْ لَهُ عَنْ سَيِّئَةٍ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

O Abu Muhammad, they rejected the good, and you have rejected the evil. All the people have separated into sects, and they all divided into branches. You have branched out with the Peopleasws of the Household of your Prophetsaww, and you did what they did, and you chose what Allahazwj had Chosen for you, and you wanted what Allahazwj wanted. So received glad tidings upon glad tidings, for By Allahazwj, you (Shiites) are ones with whom Allahazwj has been Merciful, the ones whose good deeds will be Accepted, and the sins being Overlooked. The one who does not come to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, with what you are upon, on the Day of Judgement, the good deeds will not be Accepted from him, nor will his sins be Overlooked. O Abu Muhammad, have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَائِكَةً يُسْقِطُونَ الذُّنُوبَ عَنْ ظُهُورِ شِيعَتِنَا كَمَا يُسْقِطُ الرِّيحُ الْوَرَقَ فِي أَوَانِ سُقُوطِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتِغْفَارُهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ لَكُمْ دُونَ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Assigned Angels to cut-off the sins from the backs of ourasws Shiites just like the leaves get cut-off in the autumn by the wind, and that is Hisazwj Statement, the Mighty and Majestic: “[40:7] Those who bear the Throne and those around Him celebrate the praise of their Lord and believe in Him and ask protection for those who believe”. By Allahazwj, their Seeking of Forgiveness is for you (Shiites) apart from the other creatures. O Abu Muhammad, have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْتَظِرُ وَ ما بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلًا

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj has Mentioned you (Shiites) in Hisazwj Book. Heazwj said: “[33:23] Of the believers are men who are true to the covenant which they made with Allah: so of them is he who accomplished his vow, and of them is he who yet waits, and they have not changed in the least”

إِنَّكُمْ وَفَيْتُمْ بِمَا أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مِيثَاقَكُمْ مِنْ وَلَايَتِنَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تُبَدِّلُوا بِنَا غَيْرَنَا وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَفْعَلُوا لَعَيَّرَكُمُ اللَّهُ كَمَا عَيَّرَهُمْ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ ما وَجَدْنا لِأَكْثَرِهِمْ مِنْ عَهْدٍ وَ إِنْ وَجَدْنا أَكْثَرَهُمْ لَفاسِقِينَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

You all have been loyal to the Covenant which Allahazwj has Taken from you, of ourasws Wilayah, and you never exchanged usasws for others. Had you not done that, Allahazwj would have Reproached you just as Heazwj Reproached them where Heazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Remembrance, Said: “[7:102] And We did not find in most of them any (faithfulness to) covenant, and We found most of them to be certainly transgressors”. O Abu Muhammad, have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ إِخْواناً عَلى سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلِينَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj has Mentioned you in Hisazwj Book: “[15:47] (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face”. And Allahazwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shiites), O Abu Muhammad. So, have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws: ‘O Abu Muhammad, “[43:67] The friends shall on that day be enemies one to another, except those who guard (against evil)”, and Allahazwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shiites). O Abu Muhammad, have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَنَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ شِيعَتَنَا وَ عَدُوَّنَا فِي آيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَ الَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ فَنَحْنُ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَ عَدُوُّنَا الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ شِيعَتُنَا هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Mentioned usasws and ourasws Shiites, and ourasws enemies in a Verse from Hisazwj Book. The Mighty and Majestic Said: “[39:9] Are those who know equal with those who know not? But only men of understanding will pay heed”. So weasws are the ones who know, and ourasws enemies are the ones who do not know, and ourasws Shiites are the men of understanding. O Abu Muhammad, so have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْصِيَاءِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ لَا أَتْبَاعِهِمْ مَا خَلَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) وَ شِيعَتَهُ فَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ يَوْمَ لا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَنْ مَوْلًى شَيْئاً وَ لا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) وَ شِيعَتَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

So heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, By Allahazwj, Allahazwj has not Made an Exception for anyone from the successorsas of the Prophetsas and theiras followers except for Amir-ul-Momineenasws and hisasws Shiites. So Heazwj Said in Hisazwj Book, and Hisazwj Words are True: “[44:41] The day on which a friend shall not avail (his) friend aught, nor shall they be helped, [44:42] Save those on whom Allah shall have mercy; surely He is the Mighty the Merciful” Meaning by that Aliasws and hisasws Shiites. O Abu Muhammad, have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ إِذْ يَقُولُ يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj the High has Mentioned you all when Heazwj Said: “[39:53] Say: O my servants! who have acted extravagantly against their own souls, do not despair of the mercy of Allah; surely Allah forgives the faults altogether; surely He is the Forgiving the Merciful”. And Allahazwj has not Intended by this other than you (Shiites). So, have Iasws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’. 

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عِبادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطانٌ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا إِلَّا الْأَئِمَّةَ ( عليهم السلام ) وَ شِيعَتَهُمْ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

So heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj has Mentioned you all in Hisazwj Book: “[17:65] Surely (as for) My servants, you have no authority over them; and your Lord is sufficient as a Protector”. And Allahazwj has not Intended by this but the Imamsasws and theirasws Shiites. So, have Iasws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً فَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي الْآيَةِ النَّبِيُّونَ وَ نَحْنُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ الصِّدِّيقُونَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءُ وَ أَنْتُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ فَتَسَمَّوْا بِالصَّلَاحِ كَمَا سَمَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

So heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj has Mentioned you all in Hisazwj Book. Heazwj Said: “[4:69] these are with those upon whom Allah has bestowed favours from among the prophets and the truthful and the martyrs and the righteous, and a goodly company are they!” So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj in the Verse is ‘from among the Prophetsas’, and weasws, in this subject are the ‘truthful and the martyrs’, and you all are the ‘righteous’, therefore adopt this name by the righteousness as Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Named you. O Abu Muhammad, so, have I made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ إِذْ حَكَى عَنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ فِي النَّارِ بِقَوْلِهِ وَ قالُوا ما لَنا لا نَرى رِجالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرارِ أَتَّخَذْناهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصارُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَنَى وَ لَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ صِرْتُمْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْعَالَمِ شِرَارَ النَّاسِ وَ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ تُحْبَرُونَ وَ فِي النَّارِ تُطْلَبُونَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj has Mentioned you all when Heazwj Narrated about your enemies in the Fire by Hisazwj Statement: “[38:62] And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the vicious? [38:63] Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them?” And Allahazwj has not Meant, and not Intended by this other than you (Shiites). You have become as the evil people in the eyes of this world, and by Allahazwj, you will be in the Paradise you will be in delight whereas in the Fire you will be sought. O Abu Muhammad, so have Iasws made you happy?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا مِنْ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ تَقُودُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَا تَذْكُرُ أَهْلَهَا بِخَيْرٍ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ فِينَا وَ فِي شِيعَتِنَا وَ مَا مِنْ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ تَذْكُرُ أَهْلَهَا بِشَرٍّ وَ لَا تَسُوقُ إِلَى النَّارِ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ فِي عَدُوِّنَا وَ مَنْ خَالَفَنَا فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, there is none from the Verses Revealed Which Guides to the Paradise, nor Mentions it addressees with goodness except that it is regarding usasws and regarding ourasws Shiites. And there is none from the Verses Revealed Which Mentions its addressees with evil, or Points to the Fire except that it is regarding ourasws enemies and the ones who are opposed to usasws. So, have Iasws made you happy, O Abu Muhammad?’ He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, increase it for me’.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَيْسَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَّا نَحْنُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَ سَائِرُ النَّاسِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بُرَآءُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى فَقَالَ حَسْبِي .

So heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad, There is no one upon the Nation of Ibrahimas except for usasws, and ourasws Shiites, whereas the rest of the people are remote from that. O Abu Muhammad, have Iasws made you happy?’ And in another report, heasws said: ‘This is enough’.

حَدِيثُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَعَ الْمَنْصُورِ فِي مَوْكِبِه

HADEETH OF ABU ABDULLAHasws WITH AL-MANSOUR IN HIS PROCESSION

14455-مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ ذُكِرَ هَؤُلَاءِ عِنْدَهُ وَ سُوءُ حَالِ الشِّيعَةِ عِنْدَهُمْ

H 14455 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr altogether, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Humran who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws said, and those in hisasws presence mention the bad condition of the Shiites in hisasws presence –

فَقَالَ إِنِّي سِرْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورِ وَ هُوَ فِي مَوْكِبِهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ خَيْلٌ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ خَيْلٌ وَ أَنَا عَلَى حِمَارٍ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَدْ كَانَ فَيَنْبَغِي لَكَ أَنْ تَفْرَحَ بِمَا أَعْطَانَا اللَّهُ مِنَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ فَتَحَ لَنَا مِنَ الْعِزِّ وَ لَا تُخْبِرَ النَّاسَ أَنَّكَ أَحَقُّ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنَّا وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِكَ فَتُغْرِيَنَا بِكَ وَ بِهِمْ

So heasws said: ‘Iasws was walking with Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour, and he was in his procession, and he was upon a horse and in front him were horsemen and behind him were horsemen, and Iasws was upon a mule by his side. He said to me, ‘O Abu Abdullahasws, it is befitting for youasws to be happy with what Allahazwj has Given us from the strength and the victory for us, and the honour, and do not tell your people that youasws and the Peopleasws of yourasws Household are more deserving of this Command (Caliphate) than we are, lest youasws provoke us against youasws and them.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَنْ رَفَعَ هَذَا إِلَيْكَ عَنِّي فَقَدْ كَذَبَ فَقَالَ لِي أَ تَحْلِفُ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ سَحَرَةٌ يَعْنِي يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُفْسِدُوا قَلْبَكَ عَلَيَّ فَلَا تُمَكِّنْهُمْ مِنْ سَمْعِكَ فَإِنَّا إِلَيْكَ أَحْوَجُ مِنْكَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لِي تَذْكُرُ يَوْمَ سَأَلْتُكَ هَلْ لَنَا مُلْكٌ فَقُلْتَ نَعَمْ طَوِيلٌ عَرِيضٌ شَدِيدٌ فَلَا تَزَالُونَ فِي مُهْلَةٍ مِنْ أَمْرِكُمْ وَ فُسْحَةٍ مِنْ دُنْيَاكُمْ حَتَّى تُصِيبُوا مِنَّا دَماً حَرَاماً فِي شَهْرٍ حَرَامٍ فِي بَلَدٍ حَرَامٍ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ حَفِظَ الْحَدِيثَ فَقُلْتُ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَكْفِيَكَ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَخُصَّكَ بِهَذَا وَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ حَدِيثٌ رَوَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ لَعَلَّ غَيْرَكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ يَتَوَلَّى ذَلِكَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي

Heasws said, ‘Iasws replied: ‘And the one who has related this to you from measws has lied’. He said to measws, ‘Will youasws swear an oath on what youasws are saying?’ Iasws said: ‘The people are magicians, meaning they would love to spoil measws (myasws position) in front of you. So do not listen to them, for people are more in need of you than you are of us’. He said to measws, ‘Do youasws remember the day when I asked youasws, ‘Is there a kingdom for us?’, and youasws said, ‘Yes, very lengthy and vast’, you will not cease to be in the time in your command and the space in your world until you will harm usasws by shedding sacred blood in a sacred Month, in a sacred city?’ So Iasws understood that he has memorized the Hadeeth. So Iasws said: ‘Perhaps Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Suffice for you, for Iasws did not apply this especially for you, but rather this is a Hadeeth which Iasws reported to you. Maybe it is for someone else from the people of your household who will govern that’. He was silent from measws. 

فَلَمَّا رَجَعْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي أَتَانِي بَعْضُ مَوَالِينَا فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ فِي مَوْكِبِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَ هُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ وَ قَدْ أَشْرَفَ عَلَيْكَ يُكَلِّمُكَ كَأَنَّكَ تَحْتَهُ فَقُلْتُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ نَفْسِي هَذَا حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ وَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي يُقْتَدَى بِهِ وَ هَذَا الْآخَرُ يَعْمَلُ بِالْجَوْرِ وَ يَقْتُلُ أَوْلَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ يَسْفِكُ الدِّمَاءَ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِمَا لَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ فِي مَوْكِبِهِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ فَدَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَكٌّ حَتَّى خِفْتُ عَلَى دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي

When Iasws returned to myasws home, one of ourasws friends came up. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws. By Allahazwj, I saw youasws in the procession of Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour) and youasws were upon a mule and he was upon a horse, and he was speaking to you like an overseer speaks to an underling. So I said to myself, ‘This is the Proofasws of Allahazwj upon the creatures and the Masterasws of this command (Caliphate) who should be followed, and this other one is acting by compulsion, and he kills the children of the Prophetsas, and sheds the blood in the earth by what Allahazwj does not Like, and he is in his procession, and youasws are upon a mule’, so that entered a doubt in me to the extent that I feared for my Religion and myself’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَوْ رَأَيْتَ مَنْ كَانَ حَوْلِي وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَاحْتَقَرْتَهُ وَ احْتَقَرْتَ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ الْآنَ سَكَنَ قَلْبِي

Heasws said: ‘Iasws said: ‘Had you seen those who were around measws, and in front of measws, and behind measws, and on myasws right, and on myasws left from the Angels, you would have despised him and despised what he was indulging in’. He said, ‘Now my heart is tranquil’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى مَتَى هَؤُلَاءِ يَمْلِكُونَ أَوْ مَتَى الرَّاحَةُ مِنْهُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مُدَّةً قَالَ بَلَى فَقُلْتُ هَلْ يَنْفَعُكَ عِلْمُكَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِذَا جَاءَ كَانَ أَسْرَعَ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ الْعَيْنِ إِنَّكَ لَوْ تَعْلَمُ حَالَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كَيْفَ هِيَ كُنْتَ لَهُمْ أَشَدَّ بُغْضاً وَ لَوْ جَهَدْتَ أَوْ جَهَدَ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ أَنْ يُدْخِلُوهُمْ فِي أَشَدِّ مَا هُمْ فِيهِمْ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا فَلَا يَسْتَفِزَّنَّكَ الشَّيْطَانُ

Then he said, ‘Until when will these be ruling (us), or until when will we get rest from them (their injustices)?’ Iasws said: ‘Do you not know that there is a time allocated for everything?’ He said, ‘Yes’. So Iasws said: ‘Would it benefit you if you come to know that this command (Caliphate), when it goes, it would be quicker than the blink of an eye? If you come to know their condition in the Presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and how it would be, you would have been intense in your hatred of them. And if you were to struggle, and the people of the earth were to struggle to include them in more severity than what they are already in from the sins, you would not be able to. So do not let Satanla excite you.

فَإِنَّ الْعِزَّةَ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَكِنَّ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ أَ لَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مَنِ انْتَظَرَ أَمْرَنَا وَ صَبَرَ عَلَى مَا يَرَى مِنَ الْأَذَى وَ الْخَوْفِ هُوَ غَداً فِي زُمْرَتِنَا فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْحَقَّ قَدْ مَاتَ وَ ذَهَبَ أَهْلُهُ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْجَوْرَ قَدْ شَمِلَ الْبِلَادَ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْقُرْآنَ قَدْ خَلُقَ وَ أُحْدِثَ فِيهِ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ وَ وُجِّهَ عَلَى الْأَهْوَاءِ وَ رَأَيْتَ الدِّينَ قَدِ انْكَفَأَ كَمَا يَنْكَفِئُ الْمَاءُ

The Honour is for Allahazwj and for Hisazwj Messengersaww, and for the Believers, but the hypocrites do not know. Nay! The one who waits for ourasws Command, and observes patient upon what he see from the sufferings and the fear, tomorrow he would be in ourasws group. So if you were to see that the truth has died and its people have gone away, and you will see, that the injustice has encompassed the country, and you will see that for the Quran they are inventing new things which are not in it and giving it a perspective in accordance to their own whims, and you will see that the Religion has receded like the receding of the water,

وَ رَأَيْتَ أَهْلَ الْبَاطِلِ قَدِ اسْتَعْلَوْا عَلَى أَهْلِ الْحَقِّ وَ رَأَيْتَ الشَّرَّ ظَاهِراً لَا يُنْهَى عَنْهُ وَ يُعْذَرُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْفِسْقَ قَدْ ظَهَرَ وَ اكْتَفَى الرِّجَالُ بِالرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءُ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْمُؤْمِنَ صَامِتاً لَا يُقْبَلُ قَوْلُهُ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْفَاسِقَ يَكْذِبُ وَ لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ وَ فِرْيَتُهُ وَ رَأَيْتَ الصَّغِيرَ يَسْتَحْقِرُ بِالْكَبِيرِ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْأَرْحَامَ قَدْ تَقَطَّعَتْ وَ رَأَيْتَ مَنْ يَمْتَدِحُ بِالْفِسْقِ يَضْحَكُ مِنْهُ وَ لَا يُرَدُّ عَلَيْهِ قَوْلُهُ

and you will see the people of the falsehood to have achieved high positions above the people of the truth, and you will see the evil having been manifested with no one preventing it and actually finding excuses for its committers, and you will see the mischief having appeared, and the males satisfying themselves with the males, and the women satisfying themselves with the females, and you will see the Believer maintaining silence with no one accepting his words, and you will see the mischievous lying and no one refuting his lies and his falsity, and you will see the young ones belittling the grownups, and you will see the relatives with their relationships being cut-off, and you will see the one who is praised for his mischief and he laughs at it and his words are not being refuted,

وَ رَأَيْتَ الْغُلَامَ يُعْطِي مَا تُعْطِي الْمَرْأَةُ وَ رَأَيْتَ النِّسَاءَ يَتَزَوَّجْنَ النِّسَاءَ وَ رَأَيْتَ الثَّنَاءَ قَدْ كَثُرَ وَ رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُنْفِقُ الْمَالَ فِي غَيْرِ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ فَلَا يُنْهَى وَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ رَأَيْتَ النَّاظِرَ يَتَعَوَّذُ بِاللَّهِ مِمَّا يَرَى الْمُؤْمِنَ فِيهِ مِنَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْجَارَ يُؤْذِي جَارَهُ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ مَانِعٌ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْكَافِرَ فَرِحاً لِمَا يَرَى فِي الْمُؤْمِنِ مَرِحاً لِمَا يَرَى فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْفَسَادِ وَ رَأَيْتَ الْخُمُورَ تُشْرَبُ عَلَانِيَةً وَ يَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ لَا يَخَافُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

and you will see the young boy being obedient as the women are, and will see the women getting married to women, and you will see the praises being increased, and you will see the man spending the wealth in ways other than in obedience to Allahazwj with no one preventing him or holding back his hand, and you will see the onlookers seeking Refuge with Allahazwj from what they see the (situation of the) Believers are in from the struggling, and you will see the neighbour hurt his neighbour and there is no one to prevent him, and you will see the infidel rejoicing at what they see in the Believer to be in, becoming happier at what he sees in the earth from the mischief, and you will see the intoxicants being drunk openly and the ones who do not fear Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic gathering for it,

فَكُنْ مُتَرَقِّباً وَ اجْتَهِدْ لِيَرَاكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي خِلَافِ مَا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ نَزَلَ بِهِمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ كُنْتَ فِيهِمْ عَجَّلْتَ إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ أُخِّرْتَ ابْتُلُوا وَ كُنْتَ قَدْ خَرَجْتَ مِمَّا هُمْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْجُرْأَةِ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ أَنَّ رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ .

So become expectant and spare no effort for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic to See you to be against what they are indulging in. If the Punishment descends upon them and you were to be among them, you can hasten to the Mercy of Allahazwj. If you were to hesitate you will be involved in it, and you should have come out from what they are indulged in from the audacities against Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. And know, that Allahazwj does not Waste the Recompense of the good doers, and that the Mercy of Allahazwj is very Near to those who do good’.

حَدِيثُ مُوسَى (عليه السلام)

HADEETH OF MUSAas

14456-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عِيسَى رَفَعَهُ

H 14456 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ali Bin Isa, from an unbroken chain.

قَالَ إِنَّ مُوسَى (عليه السلام) نَاجَاهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ لَهُ فِي مُنَاجَاتِهِ يَا مُوسَى لَا يَطُولُ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَمَلُكَ فَيَقْسُوَ لِذَلِكَ قَلْبُكَ وَ قَاسِي الْقَلْبِ مِنِّي بَعِيدٌ

Heasws said: ‘ (Prophet) Musaas was whispering (Munajaat) to Allahazwj Blessed and High. Heazwj Said in Hisazwj Whispering: ‘O Musaas! Do not have long hopes regarding the world. That would harden youras heart, and the hard-hearted one is remote from Meazwj.

يَا مُوسَى كُنْ كَمَسَرَّتِي فِيكَ فَإِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أُطَاعَ فَلَا أُعْصَى فَأَمِتْ قَلْبَكَ بِالْخَشْيَةِ وَ كُنْ خَلَقَ الثِّيَابِ جَدِيدَ الْقَلْبِ تُخْفَى عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ تُعْرَفُ فِي أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ حِلْسَ الْبُيُوتِ مِصْبَاحَ اللَّيْلِ وَ اقْنُتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ قُنُوتَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَ صِحْ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الذُّنُوبِ صِيَاحَ الْمُذْنِبِ الْهَارِبِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ وَ اسْتَعِنْ بِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَإِنِّي نِعْمَ الْعَوْنُ وَ نِعْمَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ

O Musaas! Turn yourselfas (to obedience) for the sake of Myazwj Pleasure, for if Myazwj Pleasure is obeyed, so Iazwj am not disobeyed. Kill your heart with the fear and create new clothes for the heart. Youas will be hidden from the people of the earth and be recognised by the people of the sky. Spread out the lamps in your house at night and plead before Meazwj with the pleading of the patient ones and wail to Meazwj from the great number of the sins like the wailing of the sinner who has fled from his enemies. And seek help for that from Meazwj for Iazwj am the Best of the Helpers, and the best of the Supporters.

يَا مُوسَى إِنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ فَوْقَ الْعِبَادِ وَ الْعِبَادُ دُونِي وَ كُلٌّ لِي دَاخِرُونَ فَاتَّهِمْ نَفْسَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ لَا تَأْتَمِنْ وَلَدَكَ عَلَى دِينِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ وَلَدُكَ مِثْلَكَ يُحِبُّ الصَّالِحِينَ

O Musaas! Iazwj am Allahazwj high above the servants, and the servants are below Meazwj, and everyone is helpless before Meazwj. Accuse yourself for having wronged yourself, and do not trust youras son upon youras Religion unless he becomes like youas, loving the righteous ones.

يَا مُوسَى اغْسِلْ وَ اغْتَسِلْ وَ اقْتَرِبْ مِنْ عِبَادِيَ الصَّالِحِينَ

O Musaas! Wash and bathe and be near to Myazwj righteous servants.

يَا مُوسَى كُنْ إِمَامَهُمْ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ إِمَامَهُمْ فِيمَا يَتَشَاجَرُونَ وَ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ أَنْزَلْتُهُ حُكْماً بَيِّناً وَ بُرْهَاناً نَيِّراً وَ نُوراً يَنْطِقُ بِمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ بِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

O Musaas! Be their Imam in their Prayers, and their Imam in what they squabble about, and judge between them by what Iazwj have Revealed unto youas. Iazwj have Sent it down as a clear and luminous Proof, and a Light Speaking by what had transpired regarding the former ones and what will be regarding the later ones.

أُوصِيكَ يَا مُوسَى وَصِيَّةَ الشَّفِيقِ الْمُشْفِقِ بِابْنِ الْبَتُولِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ صَاحِبِ الْأَتَانِ وَ الْبُرْنُسِ وَ الزَّيْتِ وَ الزَّيْتُونِ وَ الْمِحْرَابِ وَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ بِصَاحِبِ الْجَمَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ الطَّيِّبِ الطَّاهِرِ الْمُطَهَّرِ فَمَثَلُهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَنَّهُ مُؤْمِنٌ مُهَيْمِنٌ عَلَى الْكُتُبِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَنَّهُ رَاكِعٌ سَاجِدٌ رَاغِبٌ رَاهِبٌ إِخْوَانُهُ الْمَسَاكِينُ وَ أَنْصَارُهُ قَوْمٌ آخَرُونَ وَ يَكُونُ فِي زَمَانِهِ أَزْلٌ وَ زِلْزَالٌ وَ قَتْلٌ وَ قِلَّةٌ مِنَ الْمَالِ اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ مُحَمَّدٌ الْأَمِينُ مِنَ الْبَاقِينَ مِنْ ثُلَّةِ الْأَوَّلِينَ الْمَاضِينَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالْكُتُبِ كُلِّهَا وَ يُصَدِّقُ جَمِيعَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ يَشْهَدُ بِالْإِخْلَاصِ لِجَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ أُمَّتُهُ مَرْحُومَةٌ مُبَارَكَةٌ مَا بَقُوا فِي الدِّينِ عَلَى حَقَائِقِهِ لَهُمْ سَاعَاتٌ مُوَقَّتَاتٌ يُؤَدُّونَ فِيهَا الصَّلَوَاتِ أَدَاءَ الْعَبْدِ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ نَافِلَتَهُ فَبِهِ فَصَدِّقْ وَ مِنْهَاجَهُ فَاتَّبِعْ فَإِنَّهُ أَخُوكَ

Iazwj Bequeath to youas, O Musaas, a bequest of the compassionate, the kind-hearted son of the Pious Lady, Isaas son of Maryamas, owner of the mule, and the hooded gown, and the oil and the olive, and the Prayer Niche. And from after himsaww, about the owner of the red camel, the food, and pure, the purified. Hissaww example in youras Book is that hesaww is a Believer, dominant over all the Books, and that hesaww is the bowing one, the prostrating one, a seeker, a Monk, hissaww brothers will be the poor, and hissaww helpers will be another people, and there will occur in hissaww era hardships and earthquakes, killings, and shortages of the wealth. Hissaww name would be Ahmadsaww, Muhammadsaww, the trusted one from the remaining ones of the previous generations. Hesaww will believe in all the Books and ratify all the Messengersas and testify sincerely for all the Prophetsas. Hissaww community will be the ones under the Mercy, Blessed with what will remain in the Religion upon its reality. They will fulfill their Prayers at its prescribed times, as servants optionally do for their chiefs, acknowledge himsaww and follow hissaww path. So hesaww is youras brother.

يَا مُوسَى إِنَّهُ أُمِّيٌّ وَ هُوَ عَبْدٌ صِدْقٌ يُبَارَكُ لَهُ فِيمَا وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُبَارَكُ عَلَيْهِ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ فِي عِلْمِي وَ كَذَلِكَ خَلَقْتُهُ بِهِ أَفْتَحُ السَّاعَةَ وَ بِأُمَّتِهِ أَخْتِمُ مَفَاتِيحَ الدُّنْيَا فَمُرْ ظَلَمَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ لَا يَدْرُسُوا اسْمَهُ وَ لَا يَخْذُلُوهُ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَفَاعِلُونَ وَ حُبُّهُ لِي حَسَنَةٌ فَأَنَا مَعَهُ وَ أَنَا مِنْ حِزْبِهِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ حِزْبِي وَ حِزْبُهُمُ الْغَالِبُونَ فَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَاتِي لَأُظْهِرَنَّ دِينَهُ عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ كُلِّهَا وَ لَأُعْبَدَنَّ بِكُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَ لَأُنْزِلَنَّ عَلَيْهِ قُرْآناً فُرْقَاناً شِفَاءً لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ مِنْ نَفْثِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ يَا ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ وَ مَلَائِكَتِي

O Musaas! Hesaww is the ‘Ummy’[7], and hesaww is a truthful servant. Whatever hesaww places hissaww hand upon, it becomes a Blessing for himsaww and a Blessing for it. That is how it was in Mysaww Knowledge and that is how Iazwj Created himsaww as. It is by himsaww that Iazwj will Open the Hour (Day of Judgement) and it is by hissaww community Iazwj shall Seal (Bring an end to) the keys of the world. So, order the unjust ones of the Children of Israel that they should learn hissaww name, and not to abandon it, but they (surely) will do it.

And to love himsaww is a good deed to Meazwj, for Iazwj am with himsaww and Iazwj am from hissaww group, and hesaww is from Myazwj Group, and their group shall overcome. So, Iazwj have Completed Myazwj Words and will Make hissaww Religion to prevail over all the Religions, and Iazwj will be worshipped in all places, and Iazwj shall Reveal unto himsaww the Quran as a Criterion, a healing for what is in the chests from the whisperings of Satanla. So send greetings to himsaww, O sonas of Imranas, for Iazwj Send Greetings to himsaww and so do Myazwj Angels. 

يَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَ أَنَا إِلَهُكَ لَا تَسْتَذِلَّ الْحَقِيرَ الْفَقِيرَ وَ لَا تَغْبِطِ الْغَنِيَّ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ يَسِيرٍ وَ كُنْ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِي خَاشِعاً وَ عِنْدَ تِلَاوَتِهِ بِرَحْمَتِي طَامِعاً وَ أَسْمِعْنِي لَذَاذَةَ التَّوْرَاةِ بِصَوْتٍ خَاشِعٍ حَزِينٍ اطْمَئِنَّ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِي وَ ذَكِّرْ بِي مَنْ يَطْمَئِنُّ إِلَيَّ وَ اعْبُدْنِي وَ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئاً وَ تَحَرَّ مَسَرَّتِي إِنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الْكَبِيرُ إِنِّي خَلَقْتُكَ مِنْ نُطْفَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ مَهِينٍ مِنْ طِينَةٍ أَخْرَجْتُهَا مِنْ أَرْضٍ ذَلِيلَةٍ مَمْشُوجَةٍ فَكَانَتْ بَشَراً فَأَنَا صَانِعُهَا خَلْقاً فَتَبَارَكَ وَجْهِي وَ تَقَدَّسَ صَنِيعِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِي شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ أَنَا الْحَيُّ الدَّائِمُ الَّذِي لَا أَزُولُ

O Musaas! Youas are Myazwj servant and Iazwj am yourazwj God. Do not belittle the despicable, the poor, and do not envy the rich for a little thing. And become humble in Myazwj Remembrance and in it’s (the Torah) Recitation ravenously by Myazwj Mercy, and make Meazwj Hear the pleasance of the Torah in a humble voice, full of grief. Be at rest during Myazwj Remembrance, and mention Meazwj to the ‘one’ who is assured to Meazwj, and worship Meazwj and do not associate with Meazwj anything. And make haste to Myazwj Pleasure, ‘إِنِّي أَنَا السَّيِّدُ الْكَبِيرُ’ for Iazwj and the Great Masterazwj. Iazwj Created youas from a seed of menial water from clay which Iazwj Took out from a disgraceful mixture of dust. So it was a human being and Iazwj carved it into a creature. So Blessed is Myazwj ‘وَجْهِي’ (My Walias), and Holy is Myazwj Craft. There is nothing like Meazwj and Iazwj am the Eternal Living One who will not Decline.

يَا مُوسَى كُنْ إِذَا دَعَوْتَنِي خَائِفاً مُشْفِقاً وَجِلًا عَفِّرْ وَجْهَكَ لِي فِي التُّرَابِ وَ اسْجُدْ لِي بِمَكَارِمِ بَدَنِكَ وَ اقْنُتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فِي الْقِيَامِ وَ نَاجِنِي حِينَ تُنَاجِينِي بِخَشْيَةٍ مِنْ قَلْبٍ وَجِلٍ وَ احْيَ بِتَوْرَاتِي أَيَّامَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ عَلِّمِ الْجُهَّالَ مَحَامِدِي وَ ذَكِّرْهُمْ آلَائِي وَ نِعْمَتِي وَ قُلْ لَهُمْ لَا يَتَمَادَوْنَ فِي غَيِّ مَا هُمْ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ أَخْذِي أَلِيمٌ شَدِيدٌ

O Musaas! When you supplicate to Meazwj, be fearful, anxious and rub youras face in the dust to Meazwj and prostrate to Meazwj by the noble parts of youras body, and plead in front of Meazwj when standing, and whisper to Meazwj when you whisper with a humble heart anxiously, and revive Myazwj Torah in the days of the life, and teach Myazwj Praise to the ignorant ones, and remind them of Myazwj Favours, and Myazwj Bounties, and tell them not to persist in the transgression in which they are engulfed, for Myazwj Hold is Painful and Intense.

يَا مُوسَى إِذَا انْقَطَعَ حَبْلُكَ مِنِّي لَمْ يَتَّصِلْ بِحَبْلِ غَيْرِي فَاعْبُدْنِي وَ قُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مَقَامَ الْعَبْدِ الْحَقِيرِ الْفَقِيرِ ذُمَّ نَفْسَكَ فَهِيَ أَوْلَى بِالذَّمِّ وَ لَا تَتَطَاوَلْ بِكِتَابِي عَلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَكَفَى بِهَذَا وَاعِظاً لِقَلْبِكَ وَ مُنِيراً وَ هُوَ كَلَامُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ جَلَّ وَ تَعَالَى

O Musaas! If Iazwj Cut off your Rope from Meazwj youas will not (be able to) connect with the rope of others. So, worship Meazwj, and stand in front of Meazwj like the standing of the lowly poor servant. Condemn yourself for it is the highest (most deserving) for condemnation, and do not empower the Children of Israel by Myazwj Book, for it is sufficient advice for youras heart and an enlightenment, and it is the Speech of the Lordazwj of the Worlds, Majestic and High.

يَا مُوسَى مَتَى مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَ رَجَوْتَنِي فَإِنِّي سَأَغْفِرُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْكَ السَّمَاءُ تُسَبِّحُ لِي وَجَلًا وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ مَخَافَتِي مُشْفِقُونَ وَ الْأَرْضُ تُسَبِّحُ لِي طَمَعاً وَ كُلُّ الْخَلْقِ يُسَبِّحُونَ لِي دَاخِرُونَ ثُمَّ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنِّي بِمَكَانٍ وَ لَهَا عِنْدِي عَهْدٌ وَثِيقٌ وَ أَلْحِقْ بِهَا مَا هُوَ مِنْهَا زَكَاةَ الْقُرْبَانِ مِنْ طَيِّبِ الْمَالِ وَ الطَّعَامِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَقْبَلُ إِلَّا الطَّيِّبَ يُرَادُ بِهِ وَجْهِي وَ اقْرُنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ صِلَةَ الْأَرْحَامِ فَإِنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ الرَّحِمُ أَنَا خَلَقْتُهَا فَضْلًا مِنْ رَحْمَتِي لِيَتَعَاطَفَ بِهَا الْعِبَادُ وَ لَهَا عِنْدِي سُلْطَانٌ فِي مَعَادِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَنَا قَاطِعُ مَنْ قَطَعَهَا وَ وَاصِلُ مَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَ كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ بِمَنْ ضَيَّعَ أَمْرِي

O Musaas! Whenever you supplicate to Meazwj and refer to Meazwj, Iazwj shall Forgive youas what was from youas. The sky Glorifies to Meazwj Myazwj Majesty, and the Angels are fearful of Meazwj and anxious, and the earth Glorifies to Meazwj ravenously, and all of the creation Glorifies Meazwj in humbleness. Then it is on you to Pray. The Prayer has a place with Meazwj and for it has in Myazwj Presence a firm Covenant and Iazwj Attach to it what was from it.

Zakat is a sacrifice in order to cleanse the wealth, and the food, for Iazwj do not Accept except for the ‘الطَّيِّبَ’ pure, (unless the instructions of) Myazwj ‘وَجْهِي’ (My Walias) are sought. And Iazwj Joined with that the maintenance of relations, for Iazwj am Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful, and as for the relationships, Iazwj Created it Preferentially from Myazwj Mercy for the servants to sympathise (with each other) by it, and for it, in Myazwj Presence is an authorization in the return of the Hereafter, and Iazwj will Cut-off the one who cuts it off (from Myazwj Waliasws), and Connect with the one who keeps the connection (with Myazwj Waliasws). And that is how Iazwj will Deal in Myazwj Command.

يَا مُوسَى أَكْرِمِ السَّائِلَ إِذَا أَتَاكَ بِرَدٍّ جَمِيلٍ أَوْ إِعْطَاءٍ يَسِيرٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِيكَ مَنْ لَيْسَ بِإِنْسٍ وَ لَا جَانٍّ مَلَائِكَةُ الرَّحْمَنِ يَبْلُونَكَ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ فِيمَا أَوْلَيْتُكَ وَ كَيْفَ مُوَاسَاتُكَ فِيمَا خَوَّلْتُكَ وَ اخْشَعْ لِي بِالتَّضَرُّعِ وَ اهْتِفْ لِي بِوَلْوَلَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنِّي أَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ السَّيِّدِ مَمْلُوكَهُ لِيَبْلُغَ بِهِ شَرَفَ الْمَنَازِلِ وَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِي عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى آبَائِكَ الْأَوَّلِينَ

O Musaas! Be generous to the beggar when he comes to youas by beautiful words, or giving easily because he may have come to you from neither from the humans nor from the Jinn. The Angels of the Beneficent come to test youas to see how youas are in youras dealings in regard to what Iazwj have Given to youas, and how consoling youas are regarding what Iazwj have Authorised youas with. And be humble to Meazwj with the beseeching, and wail to Meazwj by lamentations from the Book. And know that Iazwj Call you with the Calling of the master to his slave to Make him reach to the honourable position, and that is from Myazwj Grace to youas and to youras forefathers of the former ones.

يَا مُوسَى لَا تَنْسَنِي عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ لَا تَفْرَحْ بِكَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ فَإِنَّ نِسْيَانِي يُقْسِي الْقُلُوبَ وَ مَعَ كَثْرَةِ الْمَالِ كَثْرَةُ الذُّنُوبِ الْأَرْضُ مُطِيعَةٌ وَ السَّمَاءُ مُطِيعَةٌ وَ الْبِحَارُ مُطِيعَةٌ وَ عِصْيَانِي شَقَاءُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ وَ أَنَا الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ رَحْمَانُ كُلِّ زَمَانٍ آتِي بِالشِّدَّةِ بَعْدَ الرَّخَاءِ وَ بِالرَّخَاءِ بَعْدَ الشِّدَّةِ وَ بِالْمُلُوكِ بَعْدَ الْمُلُوكِ وَ مُلْكِي دَائِمٌ قَائِمٌ لَا يَزُولُ وَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ كَيْفَ يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ مَا مِنِّي مُبْتَدَؤُهُ وَ كَيْفَ لَا يَكُونُ هَمُّكَ فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَ إِلَيَّ تَرْجِعُ لَا مَحَالَةَ

O Musaas! Do not forget Meazwj in every situation, and do not be happy due to the abundance of the wealth, because forgetting Meazwj hardens the hearts, and the abundance of the wealth brings the abundance of the sins. The earth is obedient, and the sky is obedient, and the oceans are obedient, whereas disobedient to Meazwj are the unfortunate ones of Humans and the Jinns (Al-Saqalayn). And Iazwj am the Beneficent, the Merciful. Iazwj am Beneficent in every era. Iazwj Give hardship after ease, and ease after hardship, and kings after kings, whereas Myazwj Kingdom is permanently based and will never cease. And there is not hidden from Meazwj anything in the earth, nor in the sky, and how can it be hidden from Meazwj and from Meazwj is its beginning, and how come you are not fearful regarding what is in Myazwj possession, and to Meazwj youas will inevitably return.

يَا مُوسَى اجْعَلْنِي حِرْزَكَ وَ ضَعْ عِنْدِي كَنْزَكَ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَ خَفْنِي وَ لَا تَخَفْ غَيْرِي إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ

O Musaas! Make Meazwj to be youras Protector, and place in Myazwj possession your treasure for the good deeds, and fear Meazwj and do not fear others. To Meazwj is the destination.

يَا مُوسَى ارْحَمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْكَ فِي الْخَلْقِ وَ لَا تَحْسُدْ مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكَ فَإِنَّ الْحَسَدَ يَأْكُلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ

O Musaas! Be merciful to the one who is lower than you among the creatures, and do not become jealous of the one who is above youas, for the jealousy consumes the good deeds just like the fire consumes the firewood.

يَا مُوسَى إِنَّ ابْنَيْ آدَمَ تَوَاضَعَا فِي مَنْزِلَةٍ لِيَنَالَا بِهَا مِنْ فَضْلِي وَ رَحْمَتِي فَقَرَّبَا قُرْبَاناً وَ لَا أَقْبَلُ إِلَّا مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ فَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمَا مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ فَكَيْفَ تَثِقُ بِالصَّاحِبِ بَعْدَ الْأَخِ وَ الْوَزِيرِ

O Musaas! The two sons of Adamas wanted to express humbleness at a stage so that they could win Myazwj Grace and Myazwj Mercy. So they offered offerings, and Iazwj do not Accept except from the pious ones. So their affair was what youas know, so, after this, how can youas (select) a trustworthy companion, the brother and the vizier (but by Meazwj)?

يَا مُوسَى ضَعِ الْكِبْرَ وَ دَعِ الْفَخْرَ وَ اذْكُرْ أَنَّكَ سَاكِنُ الْقَبْرِ فَلْيَمْنَعْكَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّهَوَاتِ

O Musaas! Put aside the arrogance and leave the pride, and remember that youas will be dwelling in the grave, and that should prevent youas from the lustful desires.

يَا مُوسَى عَجِّلِ التَّوْبَةَ وَ أَخِّرِ الذَّنْبَ وَ تَأَنَّ فِي الْمَكْثِ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَ لَا تَرْجُ غَيْرِي اتَّخِذْنِي جُنَّةً لِلشَّدَائِدِ وَ حِصْناً لِمُلِمَّاتِ الْأُمُورِ

O Musaas! Hasten to the repentance, and delay the sins, and deliberate in youras staying in front of Meazwj during the Prayer, and do not place hope in others. Take Meazwj to be youras shield in the difficulties, and as a fortress in disastrous circumstances.

يَا مُوسَى كَيْفَ تَخْشَعُ لِي خَلِيقَةٌ لَا تَعْرِفُ فَضْلِي عَلَيْهَا وَ كَيْفَ تَعْرِفُ فَضْلِي عَلَيْهَا وَ هِيَ لَا تَنْظُرُ فِيهِ وَ كَيْفَ تَنْظُرُ فِيهِ وَ هِيَ لَا تُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ كَيْفَ تُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ هِيَ لَا تَرْجُو ثَوَاباً وَ كَيْفَ تَرْجُو ثَوَاباً وَ هِيَ قَدْ قَنِعَتْ بِالدُّنْيَا وَ اتَّخَذَتْهَا مَأْوًى وَ رَكَنَتْ إِلَيْهَا رُكُونَ الظَّالِمِينَ

O Musaas! How can a creature humble itself to Meazwj without being aware of Myazwj Mercy, and how can one recognise Myazwj Mercy without having observed it; and how can one (ever) observe it without having faith in it, and how can one believe in it without having any hope of being blessed from it; and how can one hope for being Blessed while being satisfied with the world, having taken refuge in it and relying on the support of the unjust ones.

يَا مُوسَى نَافِسْ فِي الْخَيْرِ أَهْلَهُ فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ كَاسْمِهِ وَ دَعِ الشَّرَّ لِكُلِّ مَفْتُونٍ

O Musaas! Compete for the good with the people of goodness because the good is like its name, and leave the evil for those who are fascinated by it.

يَا مُوسَى اجْعَلْ لِسَانَكَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ قَلْبِكَ تَسْلَمْ وَ أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرِي بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ تَغْنَمْ وَ لَا تَتَّبِعِ الْخَطَايَا فَتَنْدَمَ فَإِنَّ الْخَطَايَا مَوْعِدُهَا النَّارُ

O Musaas! Keep youras tongue behind youras heart and youas will be safe, and Remember Meazwj abundantly during the night and the day and you will gain, and do not follow the sins (errors) but youas will regret, for the sins are scheduled for the Fire.

يَا مُوسَى أَطِبِ الْكَلَامَ لِأَهْلِ التَّرْكِ لِلذُّنُوبِ وَ كُنْ لَهُمْ جَلِيساً وَ اتَّخِذْهُمْ لِغَيْبِكَ إِخْوَاناً وَ جِدَّ مَعَهُمْ يَجِدُّونَ مَعَكَ

O Musaas! Speak good to the people who have left the sins and be in their company, and take them as youras brother in youras absence, and strive along with them and let them strive with youas.

يَا مُوسَى الْمَوْتُ يَأْتِيكَ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَتَزَوَّدْ زَادَ مَنْ هُوَ عَلَى مَا يَتَزَوَّدُ وَارِدٌ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ

O Musaas! The death will inevitably come to youas. So make provision of such provisions like the one who is certain that it would last him till (he reaches) his destination.

يَا مُوسَى مَا أُرِيدَ بِهِ وَجْهِي فَكَثِيرٌ قَلِيلُهُ وَ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهِ غَيْرِي فَقَلِيلٌ كَثِيرُهُ وَ إِنَّ أَصْلَحَ أَيَّامِكَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَمَامَكَ فَانْظُرْ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فَأَعِدَّ لَهُ الْجَوَابَ فَإِنَّكَ مَوْقُوفٌ وَ مَسْئُولٌ وَ خُذْ مَوْعِظَتَكَ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ وَ أَهْلِهِ فَإِنَّ الدَّهْرَ طَوِيلُهُ قَصِيرٌ وَ قَصِيرُهُ طَوِيلٌ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَانٍ فَاعْمَلْ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَى ثَوَابَ عَمَلِكَ لِكَيْ يَكُونَ أَطْمَعَ لَكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَا مَحَالَةَ فَإِنَّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا كَمَا وَلَّى مِنْهَا وَ كُلُّ عَامِلٍ يَعْمَلُ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ وَ مِثَالٍ فَكُنْ مُرْتَاداً لِنَفْسِكَ يَا ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ لَعَلَّكَ تَفُوزُ غَداً يَوْمَ السُّؤَالِ فَهُنَالِكَ يَخْسَرُ الْمُبْطِلُونَ

O Musaas! What youas intend with by for Myazwj Face ‘وَجْهِي’ (My Walias), even a little (submission) is a lot, and what youas intend with by for other than Meazwj, even a lot (of effort to please him) is little (worthless). And reform youras days which are in front of youas, and to realize the day in front of you and prepare to benefit from it, as for youas will be Paused and Questioned. Take youras lesson from the (past) era and its people, for the span of the era is short, but its shortness can be availed (to earn rewards), since everything is destined for destruction. So act as if youas can see the Reward for youras deeds in order for it to be an inevitable greed for youas regarding the Hereafter, for whatever is remaining from the world is like what has passed from it, and every worker strives upon visions and examples. So return to yourselfas, O sonas of Imranas, perhaps youas will succeed tomorrow on the Day of Questioning, for that is where the wrong doers will lose out. 

يَا مُوسَى أَلْقِ كَفَّيْكَ ذُلًّا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ كَفِعْلِ الْعَبْدِ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِ إِلَى سَيِّدِهِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ رُحِمْتَ وَ أَنَا أَكْرَمُ الْقَادِرِينَ

O Musaas! Throw out youras hand in front of Meazwj like the act of the slave calling out to his master, for if youas were to do that, youas will be the recipient of Mercy for Iazwj am the Most Generous of the Powerful ones.

يَا مُوسَى سَلْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِي وَ رَحْمَتِي فَإِنَّهُمَا بِيَدِي لَا يَمْلِكُهُمَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَ انْظُرْ حِينَ تَسْأَلُنِي كَيْفَ رَغْبَتَكَ فِيمَا عِنْدِي لِكُلِّ عَامِلٍ جَزَاءٌ وَ قَدْ يُجْزَى الْكَفُورُ بِمَا سَعَى

O Musaas! Ask Meazwj from Myazwj Grace, and Myazwj Mercy, for these two are in Myazwj Hands, none other is their owner, and look when youas ask Meazwj how youras wish is with what is in Myazwj Possession. For every worker is a Recompense, and the disbeliever will be Recompensed with what he strives for.

يَا مُوسَى طِبْ نَفْساً عَنِ الدُّنْيَا وَ انْطَوِ عَنْهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ لَكَ وَ لَسْتَ لَهَا مَا لَكَ وَ لِدَارِ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا لِعَامِلٍ فِيهَا بِالْخَيْرِ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ نِعْمَ الدَّارُ

O Musaas! Do not concern yourselfas with the world and seclude from it, for it is not for youas, and youas are not its owner, and it is a house for the unjust ones. However, the one who does good deeds in it, it is a good house for him.

يَا مُوسَى مَا آمُرُكَ بِهِ فَاسْمَعْ وَ مَهْمَا أَرَاهُ فَاصْنَعْ خُذْ حَقَائِقَ التَّوْرَاةِ إِلَى صَدْرِكَ وَ تَيَقَّظْ بِهَا فِي سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ لَا تُمَكِّنْ أَبْنَاءَ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ صَدْرِكَ فَيَجْعَلُونَهُ وَكْراً كَوَكْرِ الطَّيْرِ

O Musaas! What Iazwj have Commanded youas to, so listen and keep quiet at whatever youas see. Take the realities of the Torah to youras chest, and keep vigil by it in the hours of the night and the day, and do not let the sons of the world to make youras chest to be a nest like the nest of the birds.

يَا مُوسَى أَبْنَاءُ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَهْلُهَا فِتَنٌ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ فَكُلٌّ مُزَيَّنٌ لَهُ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَنْ زُيِّنَتْ لَهُ الْآخِرَةُ فَهُوَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا مَا يَفْتُرُ قَدْ حَالَتْ شَهْوَتُهَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ لَذَّةِ الْعَيْشِ فَأَدْلَجَتْهُ بِالْأَسْحَارِ كَفِعْلِ الرَّاكِبِ السَّائِقِ إِلَى غَايَتِهِ يَظَلُّ كَئِيباً وَ يُمْسِي حَزِيناً فَطُوبَى لَهُ لَوْ قَدْ كُشِفَ الْغِطَاءُ مَا ذَا يُعَايِنُ مِنَ السُّرُورِ

O Musaas! The sons of the world and its people are a trial for some of them to the others. So each one of them decorates what is regarding him, whereas the Believer is the one for whom the Hereafter is decorated. So he looks at it unabated, and its pleasures become a barrier for him in between him and the pleasures of life. So he idealises by the dawn like the act of the passenger driven by it to its destination, remaining bleak and sad in the evening. So good news would be for him, and the curtain is Lifted, what he will see would delight his eyes.

يَا مُوسَى الدُّنْيَا نُطْفَةٌ لَيْسَتْ بِثَوَابٍ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ وَ لَا نَقِمَةٍ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ فَالْوَيْلُ الطَّوِيلُ لِمَنْ بَاعَ ثَوَابَ مَعَادِهِ بِلَعْقَةٍ لَمْ تَبْقَ وَ بِلَعْسَةٍ لَمْ تَدُمْ وَ كَذَلِكَ فَكُنْ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ وَ كُلُّ أَمْرِي رَشَادٌ

O Musaas! The world is a seed. It is not of any benefit for the Believer, nor is it a penalty for the one who is sinful. So, a lengthy woe is for the one who sells the Reward of his return for a morsel, which does not remain and a sip, which does not continue. So be as Iazwj have Commanded youas to be, and every Command of Mineazwj is Guidance.

يَا مُوسَى إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْغِنَى مُقْبِلًا فَقُلْ ذَنْبٌ عُجِّلَتْ لِي عُقُوبَتُهُ وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْفَقْرَ مُقْبِلًا فَقُلْ مَرْحَباً بِشِعَارِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ لَا تَكُنْ جَبَّاراً ظَلُوماً وَ لَا تَكُنْ لِلظَّالِمِينَ قَرِيناً

O Musaas! When youas see the richness coming to youas, so say: ‘It is a sin which is hastening the punishment for meas’. And when youas see the poverty coming to youas, so say: ‘Welcome to the sign of the righteous ones’. And do not become an unjust tyrant, and do not join up with the unjust ones.

يَا مُوسَى مَا عُمُرٌ وَ إِنْ طَالَ يُذَمُّ آخِرُهُ وَ مَا ضَرَّكَ مَا زُوِيَ عَنْكَ إِذَا حُمِدَتْ مَغَبَّتُهُ

O Musaas! What is a lifetime and it is lengthy and its end is condemnable. And what goes away from youas does not adversely affect youas if youas were to praise its result.

يَا مُوسَى صَرَخَ الْكِتَابُ إِلَيْكَ صُرَاخاً بِمَا أَنْتَ إِلَيْهِ صَائِرٌ فَكَيْفَ تَرْقُدُ عَلَى هَذَا الْعُيُونُ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَجِدُ قَوْمٌ لَذَّةَ الْعَيْشِ لَوْ لَا التَّمَادِي فِي الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الِاتِّبَاعُ لِلشِّقْوَةِ وَ التَّتَابُعُ لِلشَّهْوَةِ وَ مِنْ دُونِ هَذَا يَجْزَعُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ

O Musaas! The Book has Screamed out to youas a loud Scream with what youas are headed for. So how can the eyes fall asleep upon this, or how can the people find pleasure in the life. Had it not been for the deliberately being oblivious, and the following of the misfortune and the following of the lustful desires, and from other than this, that the righteous are in grief.

يَا مُوسَى مُرْ عِبَادِي يَدْعُونِي عَلَى مَا كَانَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُقِرُّوا لِي أَنِّي أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ مُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ أَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَ أُبَدِّلُ الزَّمَانَ وَ آتِي بِالرَّخَاءِ وَ أَشْكُرُ الْيَسِيرَ وَ أُثِيبُ الْكَثِيرَ وَ أُغْنِي الْفَقِيرَ وَ أَنَا الدَّائِمُ الْعَزِيزُ الْقَدِيرُ فَمَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْكَ وَ انْضَوَى إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْخَاطِئِينَ فَقُلْ أَهْلًا وَ سَهْلًا يَا رَحْبَ الْفِنَاءِ بِفِنَاءِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَ كُنْ لَهُمْ كَأَحَدِهِمْ وَ لَا تَسْتَطِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا أَنَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ فَضْلَهُ وَ قُلْ لَهُمْ فَلْيَسْأَلُونِي مِنْ فَضْلِي وَ رَحْمَتِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَمْلِكُهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي وَ أَنَا ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ طُوبَى لَكَ

O Musaas! Order Myazwj servants to supplicate to Meazwj in whatever situation they may be in after having accepted that Iazwj am indeed the Most Merciful of the merciful ones, the Answerer to the restless, and Remover of the evil, and the Changer of the eras, and the Giver of comfort, Thankful for a little, and Rewarding a great deal, and Enricher of the poor, and Iazwj am the Eternally Mighty and Powerful. So the one who comes to youas and joined up with youas from the sinful ones, so say: ‘Welcome to the courtyard of the Lordazwj of the Worlds’, and seek Forgiven for them, and be kind to them like one of other, and do not dominate them by what Iazwj have Given to youas of the preference over them, and tell them to ask from Meazwj from (and) Myazwj Grace, and Myazwj Mercy, for no one else is the owner of these, and Iazwj am of the Great Grace , Good to you.

يَا مُوسَى كَهْفُ الْخَاطِئِينَ وَ جَلِيسُ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ مُسْتَغْفِرٌ لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ إِنَّكَ مِنِّي بِالْمَكَانِ الرَّضِيِّ فَادْعُنِي بِالْقَلْبِ النَّقِيِّ وَ اللِّسَانِ الصَّادِقِ وَ كُنْ كَمَا أَمَرْتُكَ أَطِعْ أَمْرِي وَ لَا تَسْتَطِلْ عَلَى عِبَادِي بِمَا لَيْسَ مِنْكَ مُبْتَدَاهُ وَ تَقَرَّبْ إِلَيَّ فَإِنِّي مِنْكَ قَرِيبٌ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَسْأَلْكَ مَا يُؤْذِيكَ ثِقَلُهُ وَ لَا حَمْلُهُ إِنَّمَا سَأَلْتُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَنِي فَأُجِيبَكَ وَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي فَأُعْطِيَكَ وَ أَنْ تَتَقَرَّبَ إِلَيَّ بِمَا مِنِّي أَخَذْتَ تَأْوِيلَهُ وَ عَلَيَّ تَمَامُ تَنْزِيلِهِ

O Musaas! Be a cave for the erroneous, and sit with the restless, and a seeker of Forgiveness among the sinful ones. Youas are from Meazwj at the status of the Pleasure, so supplicate to Meazwj with the pure heart, and the truthful tongue, and be as Iazwj have Commanded youas to be. Be obedient to Myazwj Command and do not dominate over Myazwj servants by what is not begun from youas. And come nearer to Meazwj, for Iazwj am very near to youas, for Iazwj will never Ask youas what injures youas by its weight nor to carry it (burden). But rather, Iazwj Ask youas that youas should supplicate to Meazwj so Iazwj will Answer youas, and that Ask from Meazwj so Iazwj shall Give it to youas, and that to come near to Meazwj by what youas have taken from Meazwj of its interpretation, and to Meazwj is the completion of its Revelation.

يَا مُوسَى انْظُرْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهَا عَنْ قَرِيبٍ قَبْرُكَ وَ ارْفَعْ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِنَّ فَوْقَكَ فِيهَا مَلِكاً عَظِيماً وَ ابْكِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ مَا دُمْتَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ تَخَوَّفِ الْعَطَبَ وَالْمَهَالِكَ وَ لَا تَغُرَّنَّكَ زِينَةُ الدُّنْيَا وَ زَهْرَتُهَا وَ لَا تَرْضَ بِالظُّلْمِ وَ لَا تَكُنْ ظَالِماً فَإِنِّي لِلظَّالِمِ رَصِيدٌ حَتَّى أُدِيلَ مِنْهُ الْمَظْلُومَ

O Musaas! Look towards the earth, for very soon it shall be youras grave, and raise youras eyes towards the sky for it is above youas and in it are great Angels, and weep upon yourselfas for as long as youas are in the world, and fear the perishable and the destruction, and do not be deceived by the adornments of the world and its flowers, and do not be pleased with the injustice, and do not become an unjust one for Iazwj Hold the oppressor to Account until Iazwj Get justice from him for the oppressed one.

يَا مُوسَى إِنَّ الْحَسَنَةَ عَشَرَةُ أَضْعَافٍ وَ مِنَ السَّيِّئَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ الْهَلَاكُ لَا تُشْرِكْ بِي لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي قَارِبْ وَ سَدِّدْ وَ ادْعُ دُعَاءَ الطَّامِعِ الرَّاغِبِ فِيمَا عِنْدِي النَّادِمِ عَلَى مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ فَإِنَّ سَوَادَ اللَّيْلِ يَمْحُوهُ النَّهَارُ وَ كَذَلِكَ السَّيِّئَةُ تَمْحُوهَا الْحَسَنَةُ وَ عَشْوَةُ اللَّيْلِ تَأْتِي عَلَى ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ وَ كَذَلِكَ السَّيِّئَةُ تَأْتِي عَلَى الْحَسَنَةِ الْجَلِيلَةِ فَتُسَوِّدُهَا .

O Musaas! The good deeds are Rewarded tenfold but there is single punishment for a sin even one is so severe. Do not Associate (anyone) with Meazwj, it is not Permissible for you that youas should Associate with Meazwj. Come nearer and be steadfast, and supplicate like the supplication of the greedy one greedy for what is in Myazwj Possession, and regretful over what he has sent by what his hands (had earned) before. Just as the blackness of the night obliterates the day, and similarly the sins obliterate the good deeds, and the darkness of the night comes over the whiteness of the day, and similarly the sins come over the outstanding sins and blacken them (further)’.

14457- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ جَوَاباً مِنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ

H 14457 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from someone he has mentioned, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, and Humeyd Bin Zyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy altogether, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysami, from a man from his companions who said:

‘I read the answer from Abu Abdullahasws to a man from hisasws companions.

أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ ضَمِنَ لِمَنِ اتَّقَاهُ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَهُ عَمَّا يَكْرَهُ إِلَى مَا يُحِبُّ وَ يَرْزُقَهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِمَّنْ يَخَافُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ يَأْمَنُ الْعُقُوبَةَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يُخْدَعُ عَنْ جَنَّتِهِ وَ لَا يُنَالُ مَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ .

After this (having Praised Allahazwj,), Iasws hereby advise you all to fear Allahazwj, for Heazwj has Taken the responsibility for the one who is pious to turn them around from what Heazwj Abhors towards what Heazwj Loves, and Sustain him from where he does not expect. So beware of becoming from those who are feared by the servants due to their sins whereas they themselves feel secure from the consequences of their own sins. Allahazwj cannot be deceived about Hisazwj Paradise, nor can that be achieved which is with Himazwj except by being obedient to Himazwj, Allahazwj Willing’.

14458-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَيْثَمِ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ هُوَ مُسْتَبْشِرٌ يَضْحَكُ سُرُوراً فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّاسُ أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ زَادَكَ سُرُوراً

H 14458 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Aysam Bin Asheym, from Muawiya Bin Ammar have said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘One day the Prophetsaww came out having received good news, smiling joyfully. So the people said to himsaww, ‘May Allahazwj keep you smiling for the whole life, O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and increase yoursaww joy’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ وَ لَا لَيْلَةٍ إِلَّا وَ لِيَ فِيهِمَا تُحْفَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ رَبِّي أَتْحَفَنِي فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا بِتُحْفَةٍ لَمْ يُتْحِفْنِي بِمِثْلِهَا فِيمَا مَضَى إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي فَأَقْرَأَنِي مِنْ رَبِّيَ السَّلَامَ وَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اخْتَارَ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ سَبْعَةً لَمْ يَخْلُقْ مِثْلَهُمْ فِيمَنْ مَضَى وَ لَا يَخْلُقُ مِثْلَهُمْ فِيمَنْ بَقِيَ

The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘There is no day or night except that Isaww receive a Gift from Allahazwj. Indeed! Allahazwj has Gifted to mesaww in this day of minesaww with a Gift which Heazwj has never Gifted to me the like of it in the past. Gabrielas came to mesaww and conveyed Greetings to mesaww from mysaww Lordazwj and said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Chosen seven from the Clan of Hashimas that Heazwj has never Created anyone similar to them from the past nor will Heazwj be Creating anyone like them in the future.

أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَصِيُّكَ سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ سِبْطَاكَ سَيِّدَا الْأَسْبَاطِ وَ حَمْزَةُ عَمُّكَ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ جَعْفَرٌ ابْنُ عَمِّكَ الطَّيَّارُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَطِيرُ مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ وَ مِنْكُمُ الْقَائِمُ يُصَلِّي عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ خَلْفَهُ إِذَا أَهْبَطَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) .

H 14459 - Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al-Saylami Al-Misry, from his father, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws said when the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic was recited to himasws; “[45:29] This is Our book that speaks against you with the truth”, heasws said: ‘Surely, the Book has never Spoken and will never Speak, but the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, hesaww is the speaker of the Book. Allahazwj has Said: “[45:29] This (the Messengersaww of Allahazwj )is Our book that speaks against you with the truth”. The narrator said, ‘I asked, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, we do not read it as such’. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, this is how Gabriel came down with it upon Muhammadsaww, but this is what was altered from the Book of Allahazwj’.

14460-  جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحاها قَالَ الشَّمْسُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) بِهِ أَوْضَحَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِلنَّاسِ دِينَهُمْ

H 14460 – A group, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad, from his father, from Abu Muhammad has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws having said when asked about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[91:1] I swear by the sun and its brilliance,”, said: ‘The sun (is a reference to) the Messengersaww of Allahazwj by whomsaww Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Clarified for the people their Religion’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ الْقَمَرِ إِذا تَلاها قَالَ ذَاكَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) تَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ نَفَثَهُ بِالْعِلْمِ نَفْثاً

‘I then asked, ‘(What about) “[91:2] And the moon when it follows the sun”? Heasws said: ‘That is Amir-ul-Momineenasws following the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and emitted the knowledge by reradiating (like moon reflects the rays to the earth which fall on its surface from the sun)’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ اللَّيْلِ إِذا يَغْشاها قَالَ ذَاكَ أَئِمَّةُ الْجَوْرِ الَّذِينَ اسْتَبَدُّوا بِالْأَمْرِ دُونَ آلِ الرَّسُولِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ جَلَسُوا مَجْلِساً كَانَ آلُ الرَّسُولِ أَوْلَى بِهِ مِنْهُمْ فَغَشُوا دِينَ اللَّهِ بِالظُّلْمِ وَ الْجَوْرِ فَحَكَى اللَّهُ فِعْلَهُمْ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّيْلِ إِذا يَغْشاها

‘I then asked, ‘(What about) “[91:4] And the night when it draws a veil over it”?’ Imamasws said: ‘That (is a reference to) the imams of the injustice who tyrannised by the command the Progenyasws of the Messengersaww and seated themselves upon a set which was for the Progenyasws of the Messengersaww whoasws were higher (more deserving) for it than them. They veiled the Religion of Allahazwj by the injustices and the tyranny. So Allahazwj has Referred to their deeds by Saying “[91:4] And the night when it draws a veil over it”.

قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ النَّهارِ إِذا جَلَّاها قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) يُسْأَلُ عَنْ دِينِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَيُجَلِّيهِ لِمَنْ سَأَلَهُ فَحَكَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ وَ النَّهارِ إِذا جَلَّاها .

‘I then asked, (What about) “[91:3] By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) clarity”?’ Heasws said: ‘That (is a reference to) the Imamsasws from the descendants of Fatimaasws, when asked about the Religion of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj so they clarify it for the one who has asked (from themasws). So Allahazwj has referred it in Hisazwj Statement by Saying “[91:3] By the Day as it shows up (the Sun's) clarity”.

14461-  سَهْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ هَلْ أَتاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغاشِيَةِ قَالَ يَغْشَاهُمُ الْقَائِمُ بِالسَّيْفِ قَالَ قُلْتُ وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خاشِعَةٌ قَالَ خَاضِعَةٌ لَا تُطِيقُ الِامْتِنَاعَ قَالَ قُلْتُ عامِلَةٌ قَالَ عَمِلَتْ بِغَيْرِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ ناصِبَةٌ قَالَ نَصَبَتْ غَيْرَ وُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً قَالَ تَصْلَى نَارَ الْحَرْبِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى عَهْدِ الْقَائِمِ وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ .

H 14461 – Sahl, from Muhammad, from his father has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws having said when it was said to himasws “[88:1] Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?”, heasws said: ‘They will be overwhelmed by the sword of the Rising One (Al-Qaimasws)’. He said, ‘I said, (What about) “[88:2] Some faces, that Day, will be humiliated”?’ Heasws said: ‘They will be so humiliated that they will not be able to bear the exclusion’. He said, ‘I asked. ‘(What about) “[88:3] Labouring”?’ Heasws said: ‘Labouring for other than what Allahazwj Revealed’. I then asked, (What about) “[88:3] Appointing”?’ Heasws replied: ‘Having appointed other than the Masterasws of the Command (Wali Al-Amr)’. He says then I asked, (What about) “[88:4] Entering into burning fire”?’ Heasws replied: ‘Entering into the fire of the war in the world during the era of the Rising One (Al-Qaimasws), and in the Hereafter the Fire of Hell’.

46214-  سَهْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَوْلُهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ أَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمانِهِمْ لا يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَمُوتُ بَلى وَعْداً عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا وَ لكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لا يَعْلَمُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ وَ يَحْلِفُونَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَبْعَثُ الْمَوْتَى قَالَ فَقَالَ تَبّاً لِمَنْ قَالَ هَذَا سَلْهُمْ هَلْ كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ أَمْ بِاللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَأَوْجِدْنِيهِ

H 14462 – Sahl, from Muhammad, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws the Statement of the Blessed and the Highazwj: “[16:38] And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies. Yea! it is a promise binding on Him, quite true, but most people do not know”, heasws said: ‘O Abu Baseer! What do you (people) say about this Verse?’ I replied, ‘The ‘Mushrikeen’ (polytheists) are alleging and swearing upon oath to the Messengersaww of Allahazwj that Allahazwj does not Resurrect the dead’. Imamasws said: ‘Woe be unto the ones who say this. Ask them, ‘Do the ‘Mushrikeen’ swear by Allahazwj or by Al-Laat, and Al-Uzza (names of worshipped idols)?’ I replied, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, enlighten me’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ لَوْ قَدْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ قَوْماً مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا قِبَاعُ سُيُوفِهِمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ فَيَبْلُغُ ذَلِكَ قَوْماً مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا لَمْ يَمُوتُوا فَيَقُولُونَ بُعِثَ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ وَ هُمْ مَعَ الْقَائِمِ فَيَبْلُغُ ذَلِكَ قَوْماً مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا فَيَقُولُونَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الشِّيعَةِ مَا أَكْذَبَكُمْ هَذِهِ دَوْلَتُكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ فِيهَا الْكَذِبَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَاشَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ لَا يَعِيشُونَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَحَكَى اللَّهُ قَوْلَهُمْ فَقَالَ وَ أَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمانِهِمْ لا يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَمُوتُ .

Imamasws replied to me: ‘O Abu Baseer! When ourasws Rising One (Al-Qaimasws) makes the stand, Allahazwj will Send to himasws a group from ourasws Shiites with the sheaths of their swords upon their shoulders. So that (news) will reach a group from ourasws Shiites who did not die. So they will say, so and so and so and so have been resurrected from their graves and they are with Al-Qaimasws. So that (news) will reach a group from ourasws enemies, so they will say, ‘O group of Shiites, what lies you speak. This is your government and you are speaking lies about it? No, by Allahazwj, those have never lived nor will they ever be living up to the Day of Judgement’. Heasws said: ‘So Allahazwj Quoted their words, so Heazwj Said: “[16:38] And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths: Allah will not raise up him who dies”.

14463- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ بَدْرِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنا إِذا هُمْ مِنْها يَرْكُضُونَ لا تَرْكُضُوا وَ ارْجِعُوا إِلى ما أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَ مَساكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْئَلُونَ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ الْقَائِمُ وَ بَعَثَ إِلَى بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ بِالشَّامِ فَهَرَبُوا إِلَى الرُّومِ

H 14463 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Fazaal, from Sa’albat Bin Maymoun, from Badr Bin Al-Khaleel Al-Asady who said:

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[21:12] Yet, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it. [21:13] Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.” Heasws said: ‘When Al-Qaimasws makes the stand, and sends (an army) to the Clan of Umayya in Syria, so they will run away to ‘al-Rome’.

فَيَقُولُ لَهُمُ الرُّومُ لَا نُدْخِلَنَّكُمْ حَتَّى تَتَنَصَّرُوا فَيُعَلِّقُونَ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمُ الصُّلْبَانَ فَيُدْخِلُونَهُمْ فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِحَضْرَتِهِمْ أَصْحَابُ الْقَائِمِ طَلَبُوا الْأَمَانَ وَ الصُّلْحَ فَيَقُولُ أَصْحَابُ الْقَائِمِ لَا نَفْعَلُ حَتَّى تَدْفَعُوا إِلَيْنَا مَنْ قِبَلَكُمْ مِنَّا قَالَ فَيَدْفَعُونَهُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ لا تَرْكُضُوا وَ ارْجِعُوا إِلى ما أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَ مَساكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْئَلُونَ قَالَ يَسْأَلُهُمُ الْكُنُوزَ وَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهَا قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ يا وَيْلَنا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظالِمِينَ فَما زاَلَتْ تِلْكَ دَعْواهُمْ حَتَّى جَعَلْناهُمْ حَصِيداً خامِدِينَ بِالسَّيْفِ.

So the Romans will say to them, ‘We will not let you enter until you become Christians’. So they will hang crosses upon their necks and allow them to enter. So when the companions of Al-Qaimasws descend upon them, they (Romans) will seek security and reconciliation. So the companions of Al-Qaimasws will say, ‘We will not do that until you hand over to us the ones who came to you beforehand from us’. So they will hand them over. So that is Hisazwj Statement: “[21:13] Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account”. Heasws said: ‘So heasws will question them about the treasure although heasws knows more than them about it. So they will say, ‘O woe be upon us! Surely we have been unjust’. They will not cease invoking that invocation of theirs until they will be cut down to extinction by the sword’.

رِسَالَةُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى سَعْدٍ الْخَيْرِ

MESSAGE (LETTER) OF ABU JA’FARasws TO SA’AD ALKHAYR

14464-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى سَعْدٍ الْخَيْرِ

H 14464 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Yazi’e, from his uncle Hamza Bin Yazi’e and Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Ashary, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Yazeed Bin Abdullah, from the one who narrated to him said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws wrote to Sa’ad Al-Khayr: -

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا السَّلَامَةَ مِنَ التَّلَفِ وَ الْغَنِيمَةَ فِي الْمُنْقَلَبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقِي بِالتَّقْوَى عَنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا عَزَبَ عَنْهُ عَقْلُهُ وَ يُجْلِي بِالتَّقْوَى عَنْهُ عَمَاهُ وَ جَهْلَهُ وَ بِالتَّقْوَى نَجَا نُوحٌ وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ وَ صَالِحٌ وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الصَّاعِقَةِ

In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, Iasws hereby bequeath to you to fear Allahazwj for therein is safety from destruction and a gain during the returning (to Allahazwj). Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Protects the servant by means of his piety from whatever his intellect was remote from; and by means of piety he gets clarity from his blindness and his ignorance. And it was by piety that Noahas got salvation and those who were with himas in the ark got safety from the storm.

وَ بِالتَّقْوَى فَازَ الصَّابِرُونَ وَ نَجَتْ تِلْكَ الْعُصَبُ مِنَ الْمَهَالِكِ وَ لَهُمْ إِخْوَانٌ عَلَى تِلْكَ الطَّرِيقَةِ يَلْتَمِسُونَ تِلْكَ الْفَضِيلَةَ نَبَذُوا طُغْيَانَهُمْ مِنَ الْإِيرَادِ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ لِمَا بَلَغَهُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنَ الْمَثُلَاتِ حَمِدُوا رَبَّهُمْ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَهُمْ وَ هُوَ أَهْلُ الْحَمْدِ وَ ذَمُّوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ عَلَى مَا فَرَّطُوا وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الذَّمِّ وَ عَلِمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الْحَلِيمَ الْعَلِيمَ إِنَّمَا غَضَبُهُ عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُ رِضَاهُ وَ إِنَّمَا يَمْنَعُ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُ عَطَاهُ وَ إِنَّمَا يُضِلُّ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُ هُدَاهُ

And it was by piety that the patient ones succeeded and survived from the calamities, and they have brethren upon that path seeking those preferences, having renounced their insolence and their intentions by the desires when the examples from the Book reached them. They praised their Lordazwj on what Heazwj has Sustained them with and that Heazwj was the Oneazwj Deserving of the Praise, and they blamed their own selves upon what they had wasted and that they themselves were deserving of the condemnation.

And they knew that Allahazwj Blessed and High, is the Forbearing, the Knowledgeable, however, Heazwj is Angry on the one who does not care about Hisazwj Pleasure and (as a result) Heazwj Withholds from the one who does not accept Hisazwj Favours, and but rather the one does not accept guidance from Himazwj goes astray.

ثُمَّ أَمْكَنَ أَهْلَ السَّيِّئَاتِ مِنَ التَّوْبَةِ بِتَبْدِيلِ الْحَسَنَاتِ دَعَا عِبَادَهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ إِلَى ذَلِكَ بِصَوْتٍ رَفِيعٍ لَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ وَ لَمْ يَمْنَعْ دُعَاءَ عِبَادِهِ فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَ كَتَبَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ فَسَبَقَتْ قَبْلَ الْغَضَبِ فَتَمَّتْ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا فَلَيْسَ يَبْتَدِئُ الْعِبَادَ بِالْغَضَبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُغْضِبُوهُ وَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْيَقِينِ وَ عِلْمِ التَّقْوَى وَ كُلُّ أُمَّةٍ قَدْ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ عِلْمَ الْكِتَابِ حِينَ نَبَذُوهُ وَ وَلَّاهُمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ حِينَ تَوَلَّوْهُ

Then it is possible for the sinful people to turn to the repentance and change to the doing of good deeds. Heazwj has Called Hisazwj servants in the Book to that with a Loud Voice. Heazwj Never Cut-off nor Prevented the calling of Hisazwj servants. So Allahazwj has Cursed the ones who conceal what Allahazwj has Revealed, and Obligated upon Himselfazwj, the Mercy to be before the Wrath. So Heazwj Completed the Truth and the Mercy, so there is no beginning for the servant with the Wrath before he arouses Hisazwj Anger, and that is from the knowledge of certainty and the knowledge of piety. And every community from whom Allahazwj has Raised the Knowledge from them (Taken away), the Knowledge of the Book is when they rejected it, and befriended Hisazwj enemies when they made them to be the rulers.

وَ كَانَ مِنْ نَبْذِهِمُ الْكِتَابَ أَنْ أَقَامُوا حُرُوفَهُ وَ حَرَّفُوا حُدُودَهُ فَهُمْ يَرْوُونَهُ وَ لَا يَرْعَوْنَهُ وَ الْجُهَّالُ يُعْجِبُهُمْ حِفْظُهُمْ لِلرِّوَايَةِ وَ الْعُلَمَاءُ يَحْزُنُهُمْ تَرْكُهُمْ لِلرِّعَايَةِ

And from their rejection of the Book was that they established its letters and distorted its Limits. So they were narrating it but were not acting upon it. And the ignorant ones were pleased with the preservation of the narrations, whereas the scholars became aggrieved at their abandonment of the correct aspects of the narrations.

وَ كَانَ مِنْ نَبْذِهِمُ الْكِتَابَ أَنْ وَلَّوْهُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ فَأَوْرَدُوهُمُ الْهَوَى وَ أَصْدَرُوهُمْ إِلَى الرَّدَى وَ غَيَّرُوا عُرَى الدِّينِ ثُمَّ وَرَّثُوهُ فِي السَّفَهِ وَ الصِّبَا

And from their rejection of the Book was that they made such people as rulers who did not know, so they took them (in a direction) of wherever their own desires led them, and released them to the death (ruination). They amended the ties of the Religion, and then they left it as a legacy among the foolish and the childish (people).

فَالْأُمَّةُ يَصْدُرُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ عَلَيْهِ يُرَدُّونَ فَبِئْسَ لِلظَّالِمِينَ بَدَلًا وَلَايَةُ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ وَلَايَةِ اللَّهِ وَ ثَوَابُ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ ثَوَابِ اللَّهِ وَ رِضَا النَّاسِ بَعْدَ رِضَا اللَّهِ

So the community was issued with the commands devised by the people instead of the Commands of Allahazwj Blessed and High, and it is to them that they referred to. So evil it was what the unjust took in exchange, the governance of the people instead of the Governance of Allahazwj, and took the reward of the people instead of the Reward of Allahazwj, and the pleasure of the people instead of the Pleasure of Allahazwj.

فَأَصْبَحَتِ الْأُمَّةُ كَذَلِكَ وَ فِيهِمُ الْمُجْتَهِدُونَ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ عَلَى تِلْكَ الضَّلَالَةِ مُعْجَبُونَ مَفْتُونُونَ فَعِبَادَتُهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ لَهُمْ وَ لِمَنِ اقْتَدَى بِهِمْ وَ قَدْ كَانَ فِي الرُّسُلِ ذِكْرَى لِلْعَابِدِينَ إِنَّ نَبِيّاً مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَانَ يَسْتَكْمِلُ الطَّاعَةَ ثُمَّ يَعْصِي اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي الْبَابِ الْوَاحِدِ فَخَرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ يُنْبَذُ بِهِ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ ثُمَّ لَا يُنَجِّيهِ إِلَّا الِاعْتِرَافُ وَ التَّوْبَةُ

So this is how the community has become, and among them were those who strived (The Mujtahids) in the worship upon that misguidance. They (the people) were fascinated by them, and admired them, and their worship became a strife (Fitna) for them as well as those who followed them, whereas in the Messengersas there was a Reminder for the worshippers. Of these Prophetsas was a Prophetas who was complete in hisas worship, but then heas disobeyed Allahazwj Blessed and High in one aspect, so heas was exited from the Paradise, and heas was thrown into the belly of the whale. Then heas was not rescued until heas recognised (Al-Wilayah[8]) and repented. 

فَاعْرِفْ أَشْبَاهَ الْأَحْبَارِ وَ الرُّهْبَانِ الَّذِينَ سَارُوا بِكِتْمَانِ الْكِتَابِ وَ تَحْرِيفِهِ فَما رَبِحَتْ تِجارَتُهُمْ وَ ما كانُوا مُهْتَدِينَ ثُمَّ اعْرِفْ أَشْبَاهَهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الَّذِينَ أَقَامُوا حُرُوفَ الْكِتَابِ وَ حَرَّفُوا حُدُودَهُ فَهُمْ مَعَ السَّادَةِ وَ الْكُبُرَّةِ فَإِذَا تَفَرَّقَتْ قَادَةُ الْأَهْوَاءِ كَانُوا مَعَ أَكْثَرِهِمْ دُنْيَا وَ ذَلِكَ مَبْلَغُهُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ لَا يَزَالُونَ كَذَلِكَ فِي طَبَعٍ وَ طَمَعٍ لَا يَزَالُ يُسْمَعُ صَوْتُ إِبْلِيسَ عَلَى أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ بِبَاطِلٍ كَثِيرٍ يَصْبِرُ مِنْهُمُ الْعُلَمَاءُ عَلَى الْأَذَى وَ التَّعْنِيفِ وَ يَعِيبُونَ عَلَى الْعُلَمَاءِ بِالتَّكْلِيفِ وَ الْعُلَمَاءُ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ خَانَةٌ إِنْ كَتَمُوا النَّصِيحَةَ إِنْ رَأَوْا تَائِهاً ضَالًّا لَا يَهْدُونَهُ أَوْ مَيِّتاً لَا يُحْيُونَهُ

So understand that there are similar ones to ‘Al-Ahbaar and Al-Rahbaan’ who go around concealing the Book, and alter it. So their business did not give them any gain and they were not of the guided ones. Then understand those that are similar to them in this community who establish the letters of the Book and alter its Limits. So they are with the chiefs and the notables, and when they disperse there are guided by the desires and they are with those who have a lot of the world (wealth), and that is what has reached to them from the knowledge. They do not cease to be like that in the copying (emulating) and the greed. The voice of Ibleesla does not cease to be heard from their tongues with the falsehood, a great deal. The scholars observe patience from them from the harm that theyasws suffer and their bullying, whereas they themselves blame the scholars for having burdened them. And the scholars in themselves are disloyal for having concealed the advice when they see a lost and strayed one with no guidance to him, or for not having revived a dead one.

فَبِئْسَ مَا يَصْنَعُونَ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمِيثَاقَ فِي الْكِتَابِ أَنْ يَأْمُرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ بِمَا أُمِرُوا بِهِ وَ أَنْ يَنْهَوْا عَمَّا نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَ أَنْ يَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوَى وَ لَا يَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ

So evil it is what they do because Allahazwj Blessed and High has Taken a Covenant to them in the Book that they would enjoin the doing of good and by what Heazwj has Ordered for, and forbid them from what Heazwj has Forbidden them from, and that they would help each other upon the goodness, and the piety, and will not co-operate upon the sins and the animosity.

فَالْعُلَمَاءُ مِنَ الْجُهَّالِ فِي جَهْدٍ وَ جِهَادٍ إِنْ وَعَظَتْ قَالُوا طَغَتْ وَ إِنْ عَلَّمُوا الْحَقَّ الَّذِي تَرَكُوا قَالُوا خَالَفَتْ وَ إِنِ اعْتَزَلُوهُمْ قَالُوا فَارَقَتْ وَ إِنْ قَالُوا هَاتُوا بُرْهَانَكُمْ عَلَى مَا تُحَدِّثُونَ قَالُوا نَافَقَتْ وَ إِنْ أَطَاعُوهُمْ قَالُوا عَصَتِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

So the scholars are in a struggle in their efforts from the ignorant ones, that if they give good advice, the people would say that they have transgressed. And if they come to know the truth which they had avoided, they would say that they have opposed. And if they quit they would say that they have separated, and they say, ‘Give us your proof on what you are narrating’, they would say that they have become hypocrites, and if they obey them, they would say that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has been disobeyed.

فَهَلَكَ جُهَّالٌ فِيمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ أُمِّيُّونَ فِيمَا يَتْلُونَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِالْكِتَابِ عِنْدَ التَّعْرِيفِ وَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِهِ عِنْدَ التَّحْرِيفِ فَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ أُولَئِكَ أَشْبَاهُ الْأَحْبَارِ وَ الرُّهْبَانِ قَادَةٌ فِي الْهَوَى سَادَةٌ فِي الرَّدَى وَ آخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ جُلُوسٌ بَيْنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ الْهُدَى لَا يَعْرِفُونَ إِحْدَى الطَّائِفَتَيْنِ مِنَ الْأُخْرَى يَقُولُونَ مَا كَانَ النَّاسُ يَعْرِفُونَ هَذَا وَ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ

So the ignorant ones are destroyed in what they do not know, unlettered in what they recite. They ratify the Book when it is defined and deny it in its altered state (Meaning they accept the present altered one and reject the original one which they consider to be the altered one), and so they are not deniers as such. They are similar to Al-Ahbaar and Al-Rahbaan, leaders in matters of desires and chiefs in matters of ruination, and others from among them are seated in between the misguidance and the guidance, not understanding one community from the other. They are saying that the people do not know this, not will they return to what it used to be.

وَ صَدَّقُوا تَرْكَهُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَى الْبَيْضَاءِ لَيْلُهَا مِنْ نَهَارِهَا لَمْ يَظْهَرْ فِيهِمْ بِدْعَةٌ وَ لَمْ يُبَدَّلْ فِيهِمْ سُنَّةٌ لَا خِلَافَ عِنْدَهُمْ وَ لَا اخْتِلَافَ فَلَمَّا غَشِيَ النَّاسَ ظُلْمَةُ خَطَايَاهُمْ صَارُوا إِمَامَيْنِ دَاعٍ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ دَاعٍ إِلَى النَّارِ

And they are right. The Messengersaww of Allahazwj left them upon the clarity, its night from its day. No innovations appeared among them, nor was the Sunnah changed among them.

There was no opposition from them or differences among them. So what made the people to be covered in darkness of their errors (sins) is when two imams appeared, oneasws calling to Allahazwj Blessed and High, and one calling to the Fire.

فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ نَطَقَ الشَّيْطَانُ فَعَلَا صَوْتُهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ كَثُرَ خَيْلُهُ وَ رَجْلُهُ وَ شَارَكَ فِي الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ مَنْ أَشْرَكَهُ فَعُمِلَ بِالْبِدْعَةِ وَ تُرِكَ الْكِتَابُ وَ السُّنَّةُ وَ نَطَقَ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ بِالْحُجَّةِ وَ أَخَذُوا بِالْكِتَابِ وَ الْحِكْمَةِ

At that time Satanla spoke in a loud voice by the tongues of hisla friends and numerous were his horsemen, and infantry, and he included them in the wealth and the sons, the ones who associated with himla. So they acted by the innovations, and avoided the Book and the Sunnah, whereas the Guardiansasws of Allahazwj spoke by the Proof and took to the Book and the Wisdom.

فَتَفَرَّقَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَهْلُ الْحَقِّ وَ أَهْلُ الْبَاطِلِ وَ تَخَاذَلَ وَ تَهَادَنَ أَهْلُ الْهُدَى وَ تَعَاوَنَ أَهْلُ الضَّلَالَةِ حَتَّى كَانَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ مَعَ فُلَانٍ وَ أَشْبَاهِهِ فَاعْرِفْ هَذَا الصِّنْفَ وَ صِنْفٌ آخَرُ فَأَبْصِرْهُمْ رَأْيَ الْعَيْنِ نُجَبَاءُ وَ الْزَمْهُمْ حَتَّى تَرِدَ أَهْلَكَ فَ إِنَّ الْخاسِرِينَ الَّذِينَ خَسِرُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ أَهْلِيهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ أَلا ذلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرانُ الْمُبِينُ

So from that day on, the people of the truth separated from the people of the falsehood. The people of guidance were abandoned and insulted, whilst the people of the misguidance helped each other until they became a group with so and so, and the like of him. So, understand this type, and the other type and look at them by the eyes of the excellent ones, and be firm with them until you come to your family, for the losers are the one who have lost themselves and their families on the Day of Judgement. Indeed! That is the clear loss’.

[إِلَى هَاهُنَا رِوَايَةُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى زِيَادَةٌ]

(Up to here is the report of Al-Husayn, and in the report of Muhammad Bin Yahya this is the extra bit).

لَهُمْ عِلْمٌ بِالطَّرِيقِ فَإِنْ كَانَ دُونَهُمْ بَلَاءٌ فَلَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَإِنْ كَانَ دُونَهُمْ عَسْفٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَسْفِ وَ خَسْفٌ وَ دُونَهُمْ بَلَايَا تَنْقَضِي ثُمَّ تَصِيرُ إِلَى رَخَاءٍ

‘They (people of the truth) know the path, if without themasws there are afflictions do not hold it against themasws. If without themasws there is tyranny from the tyrannous people, and sinking of the earth and other afflictions, it will soon pass, then you will travel to the prosperity (through themasws). 

ثُمَّ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ إِخْوَانَ الثِّقَةِ ذَخَائِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تَذْهَبَ بِكَ الظُّنُونُ عَنِّي لَجَلَيْتُ لَكَ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ غَطَّيْتُهَا وَ لَنَشَرْتُ لَكَ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ كَتَمْتُهَا وَ لَكِنِّي أَتَّقِيكَ وَ أَسْتَبْقِيكَ وَ لَيْسَ الْحَلِيمُ الَّذِي لَا يَتَّقِي أَحَداً فِي مَكَانِ التَّقْوَى وَ الْحِلْمُ لِبَاسُ الْعَالِمِ فَلَا تَعْرَيَنَّ مِنْهُ وَ السَّلَامُ

Then know that the reliable brothers are an ammunition, some of them for the other. Had it not been that you would leave from measws due to your conjectures, Iasws would have clarified for you certain things from the truth which Iasws have kept covered, and would make public certain things from the truth which Iasws have kept concealed, but Iasws fear for you, and want you to remain (alive), and it is not for the forbearing person that he would not fear for anyone in the place of the piety, and the forbearance is the robe of the scholar, so do not be without it. ‘Salam’ (peace be with you)’.

رِسَالَةٌ مِنْهُ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَيْهِ أَيْضاً

A MESSAGE (LETTER) AS WELL FROM HIM asws TO HIM

14465-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى سَعْدٍ الْخَيْرِ

H 14465 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Yazi’e, from his uncle Hamza Bin Yazi’e who said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws wrote to Sa’d Al-Khayr: -

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَقَدْ جَاءَنِي كِتَابُكَ تَذْكُرُ فِيهِ مَعْرِفَةَ مَا لَا يَنْبَغِي تَرْكُهُ وَ طَاعَةَ مَنْ رِضَا اللَّهِ رِضَاهُ فَقُلْتَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا كَانَتْ نَفْسُكَ مُرْتَهَنَةً لَوْ تَرَكْتَهُ تَعْجَبُ أَنَّ رِضَا اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَتَهُ وَ نَصِيحَتَهُ لَا تُقْبَلُ وَ لَا تُوجَدُ وَ لَا تُعْرَفُ إِلَّا فِي عِبَادٍ غُرَبَاءَ أَخْلَاءً مِنَ النَّاسِ قَدِ اتَّخَذَهُمُ النَّاسُ سِخْرِيّاً لِمَا يَرْمُونَهُمْ بِهِ مِنَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَا يَكُونُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِناً حَتَّى يَكُونَ أَبْغَضَ إِلَى النَّاسِ مِنْ جِيفَةِ الْحِمَارِ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْ يُصِيبَكَ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مِثْلُ الَّذِي أَصَابَنَا فَتَجْعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَ أُعِيذُكَ بِاللَّهِ وَ إِيَّانَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ لَقَرُبْتَ عَلَى بُعْدِ مَنْزِلَتِكَ

‘In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, your letter came to measws in which you have asked how much it is necessary to learn and the obedience to the oneasws whose pleasure is the Pleasure of Allahazwj. So then you had said to yourself, then you will not be blamed if you then avoid some other.

You are (also) amazed (by the fact) that the Pleasure of Allahazwj, and obedience to Himazwj, and Hisazwj Advice is neither accepted, nor found, nor recognised except within the servants who are unrecognised (unknown to public), who are alone (away) from the people.

The people have taken them in ridicule and they ascribe to them evil matters to the extent that it was said that one cannot be a Believer and is not a Believer until he becomes more hated by the people than the carcass of a donkey. And if you suffer from the affliction similar to what weasws have suffered, so do not consider the strife of the people (against you) like a Punishment of Allahazwj, and Iasws seek Refuge with Allahazwj as well as for you all from that, to Bring near your destination which though is a far distance.

وَ اعْلَمْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا تُنَالُ مَحَبَّةُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِبُغْضِ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا وَلَايَتُهُ إِلَّا بِمُعَادَاتِهِمْ وَ فَوْتُ ذَلِكَ قَلِيلٌ يَسِيرٌ لِدَرْكِ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْلَمُونَ

And know, may Allahazwj have Mercy upon you, that one cannot achieve the Love of Allahazwj except by hatred from a lot of the people, nor Hisazwj Wilayah except by being their enemy, and losing (their friendship) is very little in comparison to that which is Gained from Allahazwj, for a people who know.

يَا أَخِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ فِي كُلٍّ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ بَقَايَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَدْعُونَ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِلَى الْهُدَى وَ يَصْبِرُونَ مَعَهُمْ عَلَى الْأَذَى يُجِيبُونَ دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ وَ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ

O myasws brother, verily Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Made regarding everyone from the Messengersas a successoras who remains, from the people of the knowledge, calling the one who has strayed towards the guidance, and observes patience along with them upon the suffering, answering to the Call of Allahazwj and calling towards Allahazwj.

فَأَبْصِرْهُمْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ فِي مَنْزِلَةٍ رَفِيعَةٍ وَ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَضِيعَةٌ إِنَّهُمْ يُحْيُونَ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْمَوْتَى وَ يُبَصِّرُنَّ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْعَمَى كَمْ مِنْ قَتِيلٍ لِإِبْلِيسَ قَدْ أَحْيَوْهُ وَ كَمْ مِنْ تَائِهٍ ضَالٍّ قَدْ هَدَوْهُ يَبْذُلُونَ دِمَاءَهُمْ دُونَ هَلَكَةِ الْعِبَادِ وَ مَا أَحْسَنَ أَثَرَهُمْ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ وَ أَقْبَحَ آثَارَ الْعِبَادِ عَلَيْهِمْ .

So look at themasws, may Allahazwj have Mercy upon you, for theyasws are in a high position even though they would be in affliction in the world and considered to be menial. Theyasws revive the dead by the Book of Allahazwj, and theyasws visualise by the Light of Allahazwj from the blindness. How many who had been killed by the Ibleesla were revived by themasws, and how many lost and strayed ones were guided by themasws, sacrificing theirasws blood to save the servants from destruction, and how good are theirasws effects upon the servants, and how ugly are the effects of the people against themasws’.

14466-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ جَالِساً إِذْ أَقْبَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنَّ فِيكَ شَبَهاً مِنْ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تَقُولَ فِيكَ طَوَائِفُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَا قَالَتِ النَّصَارَى فِي عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ لَقُلْتُ فِيكَ قَوْلًا لَا تَمُرُّ بِمَلَإٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا أَخَذُوا التُّرَابَ مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمَيْكَ يَلْتَمِسُونَ بِذَلِكَ الْبَرَكَةَ

H 14466 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘One day the Messengersaww of Allahazwj was explaining (matters) in a session, when Amir-ul-Momineenasws came over. The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said to himasws that: ‘In youasws there is a similarity with Isaas Bin Maryamas, and had it not been for a sect from mysaww community saying regarding youasws what the Christians are saying regarding Isaas Bin Maryamasws, Isaww would have said regarding youasws such words that none from the people would pass by youasws except that he would take the dust from under yourasws feet seeking Blessings by that’.

قَالَ فَغَضِبَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّانِ وَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالُوا مَا رَضِيَ أَنْ يَضْرِبَ لِابْنِ عَمِّهِ مَثَلًا إِلَّا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ وَ لَمَّا ضُرِبَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ مَثَلًا إِذا قَوْمُكَ مِنْهُ يَصِدُّونَ وَ قالُوا أَ آلِهَتُنا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ ما ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا عَبْدٌ أَنْعَمْنا عَلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلْناهُ مَثَلًا لِبَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ وَ لَوْ نَشاءُ لَجَعَلْنا مِنْكُمْ يَعْنِي مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ مَلائِكَةً فِي الْأَرْضِ يَخْلُفُونَ

Heasws said: ‘Two Arabs became angered along with Al-Mugheira Bin Sho’bat as well a number from the Qureish among them. So they said, ‘Hesaww was not happy until hesaww struck an example for the sonasws of hissaww uncleas with Isaas Bin Maryamas’. So Allahazwj Revealed unto Hisazwj Prophetsaww Saying: “[43:57] When (Jesus) the son of Mary is held up as an example, behold, thy people raise a clamour thereat (in ridicule)! [43:58] And they say: Are our gods better, or is he? They do not set it forth to you save by way of disputation; Ineed, they are a contentious people. [43:59] He was naught but a servant on whom We bestowed favour, and We made him an example for the children of Israel [43:60] And if it were Our Will, We could make angels from amongst you” meaning the Clan of Hashimas, “succeeding each other on the earth”

قَالَ فَغَضِبَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْفِهْرِيُّ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كانَ هذا هُوَ الْحَقَّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ أَنَّ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يَتَوَارَثُونَ هِرَقْلًا بَعْدَ هِرَقْلٍ فَأَمْطِرْ عَلَيْنا حِجارَةً مِنَ السَّماءِ أَوِ ائْتِنا بِعَذابٍ أَلِيمٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَقَالَةَ الْحَارِثِ وَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ

Heasws said: ‘Al-Haaris Bin Amro Al-Fahry became angry and said, ‘Our Allahazwj! If this was the truth from Youazwj that the Clan of Hashimas will be inheriting from Heraclius and after Heraclius, so Rain upon us stones from the sky or Bring down upon us a Grievous Punishment’. So Allahazwj Revealed against the words of Al-Haaris and this Verse Came down: “[8:33] But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them, nor is Allah going to chastise them while yet they ask for forgiveness”.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ عَمْرٍو إِمَّا تُبْتَ وَ إِمَّا رَحَلْتَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بَلْ تَجْعَلُ لِسَائِرِ قُرَيْشٍ شَيْئاً مِمَّا فِي يَدَيْكَ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَتْ بَنُو هَاشِمٍ بِمَكْرُمَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيَّ ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَلْبِي مَا يُتَابِعُنِي عَلَى التَّوْبَةِ وَ لَكِنْ أَرْحَلُ عَنْكَ فَدَعَا بِرَاحِلَتِهِ فَرَكِبَهَا فَلَمَّا صَارَ بِظَهْرِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَتَتْهُ جَنْدَلَةٌ فَرَضَخَتْ هَامَتَهُ

Then hesaww said to him: ‘O Ibn Amro, either you repent or you leave’. He said, ‘O Muhammadsaww, but yousaww have made for all of the Qureish something from what is in yoursaww hands, for the Clan of Hashimas have taken away the prestige of the Arabs and the non-Arabs’.

The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘That is not up to mesaww, but that is up to Allahazwj Blessed and High’. He said, ‘O Muhammadsaww, my heart does not incline me for the repentance, but I shall leave from you’. So he called for his ride and rode away. When he came to the back of Al-Medina, a stone fell upon him and crushed his skull.

ثُمَّ أَتَى الْوَحْيُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ سَأَلَ سائِلٌ بِعَذابٍ واقِعٍ لِلْكافِرينَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ لَيْسَ لَهُ دافِعٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ ذِي الْمَعارِجِ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّا لَا نَقْرَؤُهَا هَكَذَا فَقَالَ هَكَذَا وَ اللَّهِ نَزَلَ بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ هَكَذَا هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ مُثْبَتٌ فِي مُصْحَفِ فَاطِمَةَ ( عليها السلام )

Then Revelation Came to the Prophetsaww Saying: “[70:1] One demanding, demanded the chastisement which must befall [70:2] Upon the disbelievers, of the Wilayah of Aliasws which none can repel [70:3] From Allah, Lord of the Ascending Stairways”. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, we do not read it like this’. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! Jibraeel Descended with it upon Muhammadsaww, and by Allahazwj, this is how it is recorded in the Parchment (Mus’haf) of Fatimaasws’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِمَنْ حَوْلَهُ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ فَقَدْ أَتَاهُ مَا اسْتَفْتَحَ بِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اسْتَفْتَحُوا وَ خابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ .

So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj said to those who were around himsaww from the hypocrites: ‘Go to your companion, for he has got what he was seeking for’. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[14:15] And they asked for Judgement and every insolent opposer was disappointed”.

14467- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ظَهَرَ الْفَسادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ بِما كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ قَالَ ذَاكَ وَ اللَّهِ حِينَ قَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ مِنَّا أَمِيرٌ وَ مِنْكُمْ أَمِيرٌ .

H 14467 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husyan, fom Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Ibn Muskaan, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[30:41] Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought”, heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, that was when the ‘Al-Ansar’ (Helpers) said, ‘from us should be an Emir (commander), and from you should be an Emir’ (referring to Saqifa).

14468-  وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِها قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مُيَسِّرُ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ كَانَتْ فَاسِدَةً فَأَصْلَحَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِنَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ وَ لا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِها .

H 14468 – And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ibn Muskan, from Muyassar has narrated:

It was said to Abu Ja’farasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[7:56] Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order”, so heasws said: ‘O Muyassar, verily the earth used to be in a state of disorder, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Corrected it by Hisazwj Prophetsaww, therefore Heazwj Said:“[7:56] Do no mischief on the earth, after it hath been set in order”.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام )

SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14469- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا إِنَّ أَخْوَفَ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ خَلَّتَانِ اتِّبَاعُ الْهَوَى وَ طُولُ الْأَمَلِ أَمَّا اتِّبَاعُ الْهَوَى فَيَصُدُّ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَ أَمَّا طُولُ الْأَمَلِ فَيُنْسِي الْآخِرَةَ

H 14469 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Usman, from Sulaym Bin Qays Al-Hilaly who said:

‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws preached, so heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then sent greetings of peace ‘Salam’ upon the Prophetsaww, then said: ‘Indeed! From the fears what Iasws fear for you are two categories – following of desires and long hopes. As for the following of desires, so it will sway you away from the truth, and as for the long hopes, so they will make you forget the Hereafter.

أَلَا إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ تَرَحَّلَتْ مُدْبِرَةً وَ إِنَّ الْآخِرَةَ قَدْ تَرَحَّلَتْ مُقْبِلَةً وَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ بَنُونَ فَكُونُوا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تَكُونُوا مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الْيَوْمَ عَمَلٌ وَ لَا حِسَابَ وَ إِنَّ غَداً حِسَابٌ وَ لَا عَمَلَ وَ إِنَّمَا بَدْءُ وُقُوعِ الْفِتَنِ مِنْ أَهْوَاءٍ تُتَّبَعُ وَ أَحْكَامٍ تُبْتَدَعُ يُخَالَفُ فِيهَا حُكْمُ اللَّهِ يَتَوَلَّى فِيهَا رِجَالٌ رِجَالًا

Indeed! The world has moved backwards (away from you) and that the Hereafter has moved forward (towards you), and for each of these are sons. So become from the sons of the Hereafter and do not become from the sons of the world, for today is the day of the deeds and there is no Reckoning, but tomorrow is the (day of) Reckoning and no (room to perform) deeds.

However, the commencement of the strife ‘Fitna’ occurs from the following of desires, and (the man made) rules are followed in opposition to the Commands of Allahazwj, so that a man would rule over a man (using these rules).

أَلَا إِنَّ الْحَقَّ لَوْ خَلَصَ لَمْ يَكُنِ اخْتِلَافٌ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ الْبَاطِلَ خَلَصَ لَمْ يُخَفْ عَلَى ذِي حِجًى لَكِنَّهُ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ هَذَا ضِغْثٌ وَ مِنْ هَذَا ضِغْثٌ فَيُمْزَجَانِ فَيُجَلَّلَانِ مَعاً فَهُنَالِكَ يَسْتَوْلِي الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ نَجَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْحُسْنَى

Indeed! Surely the truth, had it been pure, there would have been no differing, and had the falsehood been pure, there would have been no fear about the one with the proof, but they take a fistful from this and a fistful from this, so they are mixed together. So that is where the Satanla rules over hisla friends, and the ones for whom goodness has preceded from Allahazwj escape from this.

إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا لَبَسَتْكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ يَرْبُو فِيهَا الصَّغِيرُ وَ يَهْرَمُ فِيهَا الْكَبِيرُ يَجْرِي النَّاسُ عَلَيْهَا وَ يَتَّخِذُونَهَا سُنَّةً فَإِذَا غُيِّرَ مِنْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ قِيلَ قَدْ غُيِّرَتِ السُّنَّةُ وَ قَدْ أَتَى النَّاسُ مُنْكَراً ثُمَّ تَشْتَدُّ الْبَلِيَّةُ وَ تُسْبَى الذُّرِّيَّةُ وَ تَدُقُّهُمُ الْفِتْنَةُ كَمَا تَدُقُّ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ وَ كَمَا تَدُقُّ الرَّحَى بِثِفَالِهَا وَ يَتَفَقَّهُونَ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ وَ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ لِغَيْرِ الْعَمَلِ وَ يَطْلُبُونَ الدُّنْيَا بِأَعْمَالِ الْآخِرَةِ

Iasws heard the Messengersaww of Allahazwj saying: ‘How will your condition be when you are clothed in ‘Fitna’ (strife) in which the young ones will grow older while the adults would become elderly. The people will flow towards it (fitna) and take it as a Sunnah. So if something is altered therein, they will say, ‘The Sunnah has been altered’, and the people would have become deniers. Then the affliction would intensify, and the offspring would become captivated and the ‘Fitna’ (strife) would consume them just as the fire consumes the firewood, or just as the millstone grinds upon its lower base. And they would learn the Laws for the sake of other than Allahazwj, and they would learn for the sake of other than doing good deeds, and they will be coveting the world instead of working for the Hereafter.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ وَ حَوْلَهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ خَاصَّتِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ فَقَالَ قَدْ عَمِلَتِ الْوُلَاةُ قَبْلِي أَعْمَالًا خَالَفُوا فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مُتَعَمِّدِينَ لِخِلَافِهِ نَاقِضِينَ لِعَهْدِهِ مُغَيِّرِينِ لِسُنَّتِهِ وَ لَوْ حَمَلْتُ النَّاسَ عَلَى تَرْكِهَا وَ حَوَّلْتُهَا إِلَى مَوَاضِعِهَا وَ إِلَى مَا كَانَتْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لَتَفَرَّقَ عَنِّي جُنْدِي حَتَّى أَبْقَى وَحْدِي أَوْ قَلِيلٌ مِنْ شِيعَتِيَ الَّذِينَ عَرَفُوا فَضْلِي

Then heasws turned hisasws face towards those from hisasws family and hisasws special ones and hisasws Shiites who were around himasws, so heasws said: ‘The rulers before measws acted in opposition to the Messengersaww of Allahazwj deliberately breaching the Covenant with himsaww and altering hissaww Sunnah.

And if Iasws had burdened the people on avoiding it, and turned it back to its place and to what is used to be in the era of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, myasws army would disperse from measws to the extent that there would remain only myselfasws or a few from myasws Shiites who recognise myasws ‘Fazilat’ (virtues).

وَ فَرْضَ إِمَامَتِي مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَ رَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ بِمَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) فَرَدَدْتُهُ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ رَدَدْتُ فَدَكاً إِلَى وَرَثَةِ فَاطِمَةَ ( عليها السلام ) وَ رَدَدْتُ صَاعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَمَا كَانَ وَ أَمْضَيْتُ قَطَائِعَ أَقْطَعَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِأَقْوَامٍ لَمْ تُمْضَ لَهُمْ وَ لَمْ تُنْفَذْ

And myasws Imamate has been Obligated from the Book of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and the Sunnah of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj. Consider (what would happen) if Iasws were to order for the Maqaam e Ibrahimas to be returned to its place where it was placed by the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and returned the (plantation of) Fadak to the inheritors of Fatimaasws, and returned to the ‘Sa’a’ (unit of measurement) to just as it was before, and execute the treaties which were made by the Messengersaww of Allahazwj for the people, which were never executed nor were those ever established,

وَ رَدَدْتُ دَارَ جَعْفَرٍ إِلَى وَرَثَتِهِ وَ هَدَمْتُهَا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ رَدَدْتُ قَضَايَا مِنَ الْجَوْرِ قُضِيَ بِهَا وَ نَزَعْتُ نِسَاءً تَحْتَ رِجَالٍ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ فَرَدَدْتُهُنَّ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِنَّ وَ اسْتَقْبَلْتُ بِهِنَّ الْحُكْمَ فِي الْفُرُوجِ وَ الْأَحْكَامِ وَ سَبَيْتُ ذَرَارِيَّ بَنِي تَغْلِبَ وَ رَدَدْتُ مَا قُسِمَ مِنْ أَرْضِ خَيْبَرَ وَ مَحَوْتُ دَوَاوِينَ الْعَطَايَا وَ أَعْطَيْتُ كَمَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يُعْطِي بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ لَمْ أَجْعَلْهَا دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِيَاءِ وَ أَلْقَيْتُ الْمَسَاحَةَ وَ سَوَّيْتُ بَيْنَ الْمَنَاكِحِ وَ أَنْفَذْتُ خُمُسَ الرَّسُولِ كَمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ فَرَضَهُ

And return the house of Ja’faras to hisas inheritors, and demolish it from the Masjid, and rescind the inequitable Judgements which were judged and remove the women who are under (married to) certain men without right and return them back to their husbands, and issue the order regarding the matrimony, and the orders regarding the captives of the Clan of Taghlub, and return what was distributed from the land of Khyber, and erase the register of gifts and give it out as the Messengersaww of Allahazwj used to give it out in an equitable manner and not make it to be distributed between the rich, and drop Al-Musahaat (currency), and equalise between the marriages, and enforce the Khums of the Messengersaww just as it had been Commanded by Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and make it to be obligatory,

وَ رَدَدْتُ مَسْجِدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِلَى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَدَدْتُ مَا فُتِحَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَبْوَابِ وَ فَتَحْتُ مَا سُدَّ مِنْهُ وَ حَرَّمْتُ الْمَسْحَ عَلَى الْخُفَّيْنِ وَ حَدَدْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيذِ وَ أَمَرْتُ بِإِحْلَالِ الْمُتْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَمَرْتُ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ خَمْسَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَ أَلْزَمْتُ النَّاسَ الْجَهْرَ بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ أَخْرَجْتُ مَنْ أُدْخِلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فِي مَسْجِدِهِ مِمَّنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَخْرَجَهُ وَ أَدْخَلْتُ مَنْ أُخْرِجَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مِمَّنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَدْخَلَهُ

And return the Masjid of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj to what it used to be, and shut what was in it from the doors, and open what has been closed in it, and prohibit the wiping (Masaah) upon the socks, and enforce the punishment upon the partaking of Al-Nabeedh (intoxicant), and make the two Mu’tah’s to be permissible, and order for the Takbeer over the dead body as five Takbeers, and necessitate the people to recite ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent the Merciful’ aloud (in the Prayer), and throw out the one who has been included with the Messengersaww of Allahazwj in hissaww Masjid the one whom the Messengersaww of Allahazwj had thrown out, and enter the one who had been thrown out after the Messengersaww of Allahazwj whom the Messengersaww of Allahazwj had included,

وَ حَمَلْتُ النَّاسَ عَلَى حُكْمِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ عَلَى الطَّلَاقِ عَلَى السُّنَّةِ وَ أَخَذْتُ الصَّدَقَاتِ عَلَى أَصْنَافِهَا وَ حُدُودِهَا وَ رَدَدْتُ الْوُضُوءَ وَ الْغُسْلَ وَ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى مَوَاقِيتِهَا وَ شَرَائِعِهَا وَ مَوَاضِعِهَا وَ رَدَدْتُ أَهْلَ نَجْرَانَ إِلَى مَوَاضِعِهِمْ وَ رَدَدْتُ سَبَايَا فَارِسَ وَ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ إِلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

And burden the people to the Commands of the Quran and upon the divorce to be in accordance with the Sunnah, and take the charities upon its types and its limits, and return the ablution and the (major) ablution and the Prayer to its prescribed times, and its laws and its places, and return the people of Najraan to their own places, and return the Persian captives, and the rest of the community to the Book of Allahazwj and the Sunnah of its Prophetsaww.

إِذاً لَتَفَرَّقُوا عَنِّي وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَمَرْتُ النَّاسَ أَنْ لَا يَجْتَمِعُوا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِلَّا فِي فَرِيضَةٍ وَ أَعْلَمْتُهُمْ أَنَّ اجْتِمَاعَهُمْ فِي النَّوَافِلِ بِدْعَةٌ فَتَنَادَى بَعْضُ أَهْلِ عَسْكَرِي مِمَّنْ يُقَاتِلُ مَعِي يَا أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ غُيِّرَتْ سُنَّةُ عُمَرَ يَنْهَانَا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ تَطَوُّعاً وَ لَقَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَثُورُوا فِي نَاحِيَةِ جَانِبِ عَسْكَرِي

By Allahazwj, they would disperse from measws if Iasws were to order the people not to gather in the Month of Ramadhan except for the obligatory (Prayers) and make it known to them that their gathering for the optional Prayers (Nawaafil) is an innovation. So some of the people in myasws army would call out to the ones who are fighting alongside measws, ‘O people of Al-Islam! The Sunnah of Umar has been changed. Heasws is preventing us from the optional Prayer in the Month of Ramadhan, and Iasws had feared that there would be a revolt in a section of myasws army. 

مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مِنَ الْفُرْقَةِ وَ طَاعَةِ أَئِمَّةِ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ أَعْطَيْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ سَهْمَ ذِي الْقُرْبَى الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ آمَنْتُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَ ما أَنْزَلْنا عَلى عَبْدِنا يَوْمَ الْفُرْقانِ يَوْمَ الْتَقَى الْجَمْعانِ فَنَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ عَنَى بِذِي الْقُرْبَى الَّذِي قَرَنَنَا اللَّهُ بِنَفْسِهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ تَعَالَى فَلِلَّهِ وَ لِلرَّسُولِ وَ لِذِي الْقُرْبى وَ الْيَتامى وَ الْمَساكِينِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ فِينَا خَاصَّةً كَيْ لا يَكُونَ دُولَةً بَيْنَ الْأَغْنِياءِ مِنْكُمْ وَ ما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَ ما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي ظُلْمِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقابِ لِمَنْ ظَلَمَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ لَنَا وَ غِنًى أَغْنَانَا اللَّهُ بِهِ

What will be meted out from this community from the sectarianism and the obedience to the imams of the misguidance and their calling to the Fire if Iasws were to give out from that the share of the near relatives about which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[8:41] if you believe in Allah and in that which We revealed to Our servant, on the day of distinction, the day on which the two parties met”. So weasws are the ones Meant by the near relatives whom Allahazwj has Joined with Himselfazwj and with Hisazwj Messengersaww. So the High Said: “[59:7] it is for Allah and for the Messenger, and for the near of kin and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer, so that it may not be a thing taken by turns among the rich of you, and whatever the Messenger gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back and be careful of Allah (of being unjust to the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww); surely Allah is severe in retributing (evil)” to the one who is unjust to themasws. (This is) a Mercy from Himazwj to usasws and a self-sufficiency by which Allahazwj has Made usasws to be self-sufficient with.

وَ وَصَّى بِهِ نَبِيَّهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَنَا فِي سَهْمِ الصَّدَقَةِ نَصِيباً أَكْرَمَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَكْرَمَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ أَنْ يُطْعِمَنَا مِنْ أَوْسَاخِ النَّاسِ

And Heazwj Bequeathed for it to Hisazwj Prophetsaww and did not Make for usasws a share in the charity. Allahazwj Honoured Hisazwj Messengersaww and Honoured usasws the Peopleasws of the Household, that Heazwj should Feed usasws from the dirt of the people (charity).

فَكَذَّبُوا اللَّهَ وَ كَذَّبُوا رَسُولَهُ وَ جَحَدُوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ النَّاطِقَ بِحَقِّنَا وَ مَنَعُونَا فَرْضاً فَرَضَهُ اللَّهُ لَنَا مَا لَقِيَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ نَبِيٍّ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ مَا لَقِينَا بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ .

They belied Allahazwj, and belied Hisazwj Messengersaww and fought against the Book of Allahazwj which Speaks of ourasws rights, and prevented from usasws the obligation which Allahazwj has Obligated for usasws. What has been meted out to usasws after ourasws Prophetsaww, and Allahazwj is the Helper against the one who is unjust to usasws, and there is no Might and no Power except by Allahazwj the High, the Magnificent’.

14470- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمُحَمَّدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي رَوْحٍ فَرَجِ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَقْصِمْ جَبَّارِي دَهْرٍ إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ تَمْهِيلٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ لَمْ يَجْبُرْ كَسْرَ عَظْمٍ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَزْلٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ

H 14470 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ja’far Bin Abdullah Al-Muhammady, from Abu Rawh Faraj Bin Qurrat, from Ja’far Bin Abdullah, from Mas’adat Bin Sadaqa who has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws gave a sermon at Al-Medina. So heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj and sent greetings of peace (Salam) upon the Prophetsaww. Then heasws said: ‘Having said that, Allahazwj Blessed and High does not Break the backs of the tyrants except after giving them respite and (Giving them) Ease, and does not mend the broken bones of the nations except after Removing the affliction from them.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فِي دُونِ مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُمْ مِنْ عَطَبٍ وَ اسْتَدْبَرْتُمْ مِنْ خَطْبٍ مُعْتَبَرٌ وَ مَا كُلُّ ذِي قَلْبٍ بِلَبِيبٍ وَ لَا كُلُّ ذِي سَمْعٍ بِسَمِيعٍ وَ لَا كُلُّ ذِي نَاظِرِ عَيْنٍ بِبَصِيرٍ

O you people! With every corruption that you come across, and setback endured from every mishap is a lesson for you, and not every heart is intelligence nor is every with an ear a listener, nor is every one with a looking eye has vision.

عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَحْسِنُوا فِيمَا يَعْنِيكُمُ النَّظَرُ فِيهِ ثُمَّ انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَرَصَاتِ مَنْ قَدْ أَقَادَهُ اللَّهُ بِعِلْمِهِ كَانُوا عَلَى سُنَّةٍ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ أَهْلَ جَنَّاتٍ وَ عُيُونٍ وَ زُرُوعٍ وَ مَقَامٍ كَرِيمٍ ثُمَّ انْظُرُوا بِمَا خَتَمَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ بَعْدَ النَّضْرَةِ وَ السُّرُورِ وَ الْأَمْرِ وَ النَّهْيِ وَ لِمَنْ صَبَرَ مِنْكُمُ الْعَاقِبَةُ فِي الْجِنَانِ وَ اللَّهِ مُخَلَّدُونَ وَ لِلَّهِ عَاقِبَةُ الْأُمُورِ

Servants of Allahazwj! Do good deeds in what your eyes can see, then look at the Plains (Day of Judgement) to which Allahazwj will Drive those who in Hisazwj Knowledge were upon the Sunnah of the Children of the Pharaohla, the ones who possessed the gardens, and fountains, and plantations, and spacious places. Then look at what was the end Allahazwj had for them after the pleasure and enjoyment, and what they used to order for and prevent from. And for the one who is patient from among you will end up in the Gardens (of the Paradise), and Allahazwj will Make them live for all eternity, and to Allahazwj is the end of all affairs.

فَيَا عَجَباً وَ مَا لِي لَا أَعْجَبُ مِنْ خَطَإِ هَذِهِ الْفِرَقِ عَلَى اخْتِلَافِ حُجَجِهَا فِي دِينِهَا لَا يَقْتَصُّونَ أَثَرَ نَبِيٍّ وَ لَا يَقْتَدُونَ بِعَمَلِ وَصِيٍّ وَ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِغَيْبٍ وَ لَا يَعْفُونَ عَنْ عَيْبٍ الْمَعْرُوفُ فِيهِمْ مَا عَرَفُوا وَ الْمُنْكَرُ عِنْدَهُمْ مَا أَنْكَرُوا وَ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ إِمَامُ نَفْسِهِ آخِذٌ مِنْهَا فِيمَا يَرَى بِعُرًى وَثِيقَاتٍ وَ أَسْبَابٍ مُحْكَمَاتٍ فَلَا يَزَالُونَ بِجَوْرٍ وَ لَنْ يَزْدَادُوا إِلَّا خَطَأً لَا يَنَالُونَ تَقَرُّباً وَ لَنْ يَزْدَادُوا إِلَّا بُعْداً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أُنْسُ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَ تَصْدِيقُ بَعْضِهِمْ لِبَعْضٍ

Oh how astonishing! And why should Iasws not be astonished at the mistakes of these sects over the different arguments in their Religion whilst not maintaining the effects of the Prophetsaww and not following the successorsasws in their actions, and not believing in the unseen, and not excusing the faults. Goodness among them is what they understand it to be and the evil within them is what they dislike. And each one of them is an imam to himself, taking from it what he sees with a firm and strong grip and decisive reasons. So they do not cease in these inequities and it does not increase them in anything except for errors (sins), not achieving nearness (to Allahazwj) and it does not increase them in anything except for the distance from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. They are well pleased with each other and ratify each other (to be correct).

كُلُّ ذَلِكَ وَحْشَةً مِمَّا وَرَّثَ النَّبِيُّ الْأُمِّيُّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ نُفُوراً مِمَّا أَدَّى إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَخْبَارِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ أَهْلُ حَسَرَاتٍ وَ كُهُوفُ شُبُهَاتٍ وَ أَهْلُ عَشَوَاتٍ وَ ضَلَالَةٍ وَ رِيبَةٍ مَنْ وَكَلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ رَأْيِهِ فَهُوَ مَأْمُونٌ عِنْدَ مَنْ يَجْهَلُهُ غَيْرُ الْمُتَّهَمِ عِنْدَ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ

All that is the fear of the legacy of the ‘Ummy’[9] Prophetsaww and their aversion from what came to them from the News of the Originator of the Heavens and the earth. Thus they are the people of regret, and the caves of suspicion, and the people of desires and misguidance and doubts, the ones whom Allahazwj has Left them to their own selves and their opinions. So he is a trustworthy one with those who is ignorant of him, not being accused by the one who does not know him.

فَمَا أَشْبَهَ هَؤُلَاءِ بِأَنْعَامٍ قَدْ غَابَ عَنْهَا رِعَاؤُهَا وَ وَا أَسَفَى مِنْ فَعَلَاتِ شِيعَتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ قُرْبِ مَوَدَّتِهَا الْيَوْمَ كَيْفَ يَسْتَذِلُّ بَعْدِي بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً وَ كَيْفَ يَقْتُلُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً الْمُتَشَتِّتَةِ غَداً عَنِ الْأَصْلِ النَّازِلَةِ بِالْفَرْعِ الْمُؤَمِّلَةِ الْفَتْحَ مِنْ غَيْرِ جِهَتِهِ كُلُّ حِزْبٍ مِنْهُمْ آخِذٌ مِنْهُ بِغُصْنٍ أَيْنَمَا مَالَ الْغُصْنُ مَالَ مَعَهُ مَعَ

So how similar they are with the animals from whom their shepherd is absent, and how regrettable are the deeds of myasws Shiites after the nearness of their cordiality today. How they will humiliate each other after measws, and how they will kill each other and be all scattered tomorrow despite having originated from one branch, trying to find victory from a direction which is not for it. Each party from among them would grab hold of one branch from it. Whichever way the branch leans to, they will lean along with it.

أَنَّ اللَّهَ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ سَيَجْمَعُ هَؤُلَاءِ لِشَرِّ يَوْمٍ لِبَنِي أُمَيَّةَ كَمَا يَجْمَعُ قَزَعَ الْخَرِيفِ يُؤَلِّفُ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَثْبُتْ عَلَيْهِ أَكَمَةٌ وَ لَمْ يَرُدَّ سَنَنَهُ رَصُّ طَوْدٍ يُذَعْذِعُهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي بُطُونِ أَوْدِيَةٍ ثُمَّ يَسْلُكُهُمْ يَنَابِيعَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَأْخُذُ بِهِمْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ حُقُوقَ قَوْمٍ وَ يُمَكِّنُ بِهِمْ قَوْماً فِي دِيَارِ قَوْمٍ تَشْرِيداً لِبَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ لِكَيْلَا يَغْتَصِبُوا مَا غَصَبُوا يُضَعْضِعُ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ رُكْناً وَ يَنْقُضُ بِهِمْ طَيَّ الْجَنَادِلِ مِنْ إِرَمَ وَ يَمْلَأُ مِنْهُمْ بُطْنَانَ الزَّيْتُونِ

Allahazwj for Whomazwj is the Praise, will gather those for the evil of the day of the Clan of Umayya just like Heazwj Gathers the clouds in the autumn. Allahazwj will Bring them together, then Heazwj will Make them as debris like the debris of the clouds. Then Heazwj will Open for them the doors and they will spill out from their source like the torrent of the two gardens, the flood of Al-Aram, when Heazwj sent to them a يَجْعَلُهُمْ رُكَاماً كَرُكَامِ السَّحَابِ ثُمَّ يَفْتَحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَاباً يَسِيلُونَ مِنْ مُسْتَثَارِهِمْ كَسَيْلِ الْجَنَّتَيْنِ سَيْلَ الْعَرِمِ حَيْثُ بَعَثَ عَلَيْهِ قَارَةً فَلَمْ mouse and the hill could not withstand against it (the flood) and its rocks came tumbling down when Allahazwj Shook the womb of the valleys with a severe Shaking.

Then Heazwj Transformed them into fountains in the earth restoring thereby the rights of the people and Making them to dwell in the houses of the people being a displacement of the Clan of Umayya so that they would not usurp what they usurped. Allahazwj will Undermine them and displace them by the boulders of Al-Aram and fill the valley of the olives by them.

فَوَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَيَكُونَنَّ ذَلِكَ وَ كَأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ صَهِيلَ خَيْلِهِمْ وَ طَمْطَمَةَ رِجَالِهِمْ وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ لَيَذُوبَنَّ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ بَعْدَ الْعُلُوِّ وَ التَّمْكِينِ فِي الْبِلَادِ كَمَا تَذُوبُ الْأَلْيَةُ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْهُمْ مَاتَ ضَالًّا وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُفْضِي مِنْهُمْ مَنْ دَرَجَ وَ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ وَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ يَجْمَعُ شِيعَتِي بَعْدَ التَّشَتُّتِ لِشَرِّ يَوْمٍ لِهَؤُلَاءِ وَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ الْخِيَرَةُ بَلْ لِلَّهِ الْخِيَرَةُ وَ الْأَمْرُ جَمِيعاً

By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and Brings life from it, that is going to happen. It is as if Iasws can hear the whinnying of their horses and the humming of their men. Iasws swear by Allahazwj, that which is in their hands will melt, after the rise and domination in the country, like the melting of the fat over the fire. The one who dies among them would have died as a misguided one, and to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would lead the one among them and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Accept the repentance of the one who repents. And it is to Allahazwj that myasws Shiites will gather after the fragmentation of the evil day of theirs, and there is no good for anyone to Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Remembrance, but to Allahazwj is the good and all of the affairs.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الْمُنْتَحِلِينَ لِلْإِمَامَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَهْلِهَا كَثِيرٌ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَتَخَاذَلُوا عَنْ مُرِّ الْحَقِّ وَ لَمْ تَهِنُوا عَنْ تَوْهِينِ الْبَاطِلِ لَمْ يَتَشَجَّعْ عَلَيْكُمْ مَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلَكُمْ وَ لَمْ يَقْوَ مَنْ قَوِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ عَلَى هَضْمِ الطَّاعَةِ وَ إِزْوَائِهَا عَنْ أَهْلِهَا لَكِنْ تِهْتُمْ كَمَا تَاهَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى عَهْدِ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ ( عليه السلام )

O you people! There are many who are falsifiers for the Imamate whilst not being deserving of it. And had you not procrastinated about the bitter truth, and had not weakened from the weakening of the falsehood, the ones who are not like you would have become daring against you, nor would he have become stronger the one who became stronger against you in digesting the obedience and the removal from it of its deserving onesasws. But you are all lost just as the Children of Israel were lost in the era of Musa ibn Imranas.

وَ لَعَمْرِي لَيُضَاعَفَنَّ عَلَيْكُمُ التَّيْهُ مِنْ بَعْدِي أَضْعَافَ مَا تَاهَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ لَعَمْرِي أَنْ لَوْ قَدِ اسْتَكْمَلْتُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي مُدَّةَ سُلْطَانِ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ لَقَدِ اجْتَمَعْتُمْ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ الدَّاعِي إِلَى الضَّلَالَةِ وَ أَحْيَيْتُمُ الْبَاطِلَ وَ خَلَّفْتُمُ الْحَقَّ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِكُمْ وَ قَطَعْتُمُ الْأَدْنَى مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَ وَصَلْتُمُ الْأَبْعَدَ مِنْ أَبْنَاءِ الْحَرْبِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

By myasws life, your being lost will increase from after measws more than Children of Israel being lost. And by myasws life, you will be completing, from after measws, the allocated time of the Sultanate of the Clan of Umayya, having gathered to the Sultan who called to the misguidance, and you will be reviving the falsehood and will be placing the truth behind your backs, and will be cutting off the relations with the people of Badr and be very remote from the sons of those who fought for the Messengersaww of Allahazwj.

وَ لَعَمْرِي أَنْ لَوْ قَدْ ذَابَ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ لَدَنَا التَّمْحِيصُ لِلْجَزَاءِ وَ قَرُبَ الْوَعْدُ وَ انْقَضَتِ الْمُدَّةُ وَ بَدَا لَكُمُ النَّجْمُ ذُو الذَّنَبِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ لَاحَ لَكُمُ الْقَمَرُ الْمُنِيرُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَرَاجِعُوا التَّوْبَةَ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ إِنِ اتَّبَعْتُمْ طَالِعَ الْمَشْرِقِ سَلَكَ بِكُمْ مَنَاهِجَ الرَّسُولِ (صلى الله عليه وآله)

And by myasws life, that which in their hands will melt away upon the approach of the test for the Reward and the Promise, and the allocated times passes by. And the two-tailed star will make its appearance for you from the East, and the luminous moon will make its appearance for you. So if that were to happen, return to the repentance, and know that you all follow what you see from the East on the Path of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj.

فَتَدَاوَيْتُمْ مِنَ الْعَمَى وَ الصَّمَمِ وَ الْبَكَمِ وَ كُفِيتُمْ مَئُونَةَ الطَّلَبِ وَ التَّعَسُّفِ وَ نَبَذْتُمُ الثِّقْلَ الْفَادِحَ عَنِ الْأَعْنَاقِ وَ لَا يُبَعِّدُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا مَنْ أَبَى وَ ظَلَمَ وَ اعْتَسَفَ وَ أَخَذَ مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ وَ سَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ

So it will cure you from the blindness, and the deafness, and the dumbness, and suffice you for the justice and you would be able to discard the gross weight which is upon the necks. And Allahazwj is not remote except from the one who refuses, and is unjust and unfair, and take that which is not for him. “[26:227] Those who do wrong will come to know by what a (great) reverse they will be overturned!”

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام )

SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14471-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ وَ يَعْقُوبَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) لَمَّا بُويِعَ بَعْدَ مَقْتَلِ عُثْمَانَ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلَا فَاسْتَعْلَى وَ دَنَا فَتَعَالَى وَ ارْتَفَعَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ مَنْظَرٍ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ مُصَدِّقاً لِلرُّسُلِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ كَانَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفاً رَحِيماً فَصَلَّى اللَّهُ وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ

H 14471 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ab abd Yaqoub Al-Sarraaj who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has narrated that: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws, when they had pledged allegiance to himasws after the killing of Usman, ascended the Pulpit, so heasws said: ‘Praise be to Allahazwj Who is High and thus all is in Hisazwj possession and Heazwj is Closer than any in the view.  And Iasws hereby testify that there is no god but Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Messengersaww, the last of the Prophetsas and a Proof over the worlds, a ratification for the former Prophetsas and was kind and merciful to the Believers. The Angels sent ‘salam’ greetings of peace upon himsaww and upon hissaww Progenyasws.

أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّ الْبَغْيَ يَقُودُ أَصْحَابَهُ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بَغَى عَلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ عَنَاقُ بِنْتُ آدَمَ وَ أَوَّلَ قَتِيلٍ قَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَنَاقُ وَ كَانَ مَجْلِسُهَا جَرِيباً [مِنَ الْأَرْضِ] فِي جَرِيبٍ وَ كَانَ لَهَا عِشْرُونَ إِصْبَعاً فِي كُلِّ إِصْبَعٍ ظُفُرَانِ مِثْلُ الْمِنْجَلَيْنِ فَسَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهَا أَسَداً كَالْفِيلِ وَ ذِئْباً كَالْبَعِيرِ وَ نَسْراً مِثْلَ الْبَغْلِ فَقَتَلُوهَا

Having said that, O you people! The transgression (indecency) places its owner into the Fire, and the first one to transgression (commit indecency) against Allahazwj Majestic is Hisazwj Remembrance was Onaq the daughter of Adamas, and the first one who was killed, whom Allahazwj Killed was Onaq. And the area that she occupied when seated upon the ground measured one square acre (Jarib) of the land, and she had twenty fingers and on each of her fingers were two nails like two sickles. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made her to be overcome by a lion which was like an elephant (in size), and a wolf which was like a camel (in size), and an eagle like a mule (in size). So they killed her.

وَ قَدْ قَتَلَ اللَّهُ الْجَبَابِرَةَ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ أَحْوَالِهِمْ وَ آمَنِ مَا كَانُوا وَ أَمَاتَ هَامَانَ وَ أَهْلَكَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ قَدْ قُتِلَ عُثْمَانُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ بَلِيَّتَكُمْ قَدْ عَادَتْ كَهَيْئَتِهَا يَوْمَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ لَتُبَلْبَلُنَّ بَلْبَلَةً وَ لَتُغَرْبَلُنَّ غَرْبَلَةً وَ لَتُسَاطُنَّ سَوْطَةَ الْقِدْرِ حَتَّى يَعُودَ أَسْفَلُكُمْ أَعْلَاكُمْ وَ أَعْلَاكُمْ أَسْفَلَكُمْ وَ لَيَسْبِقَنَّ سَابِقُونَ كَانُوا قَصَّرُ ا وَ لَيُقَصِّرَنَّ و سَبِقاُونَ كَانُوا سَبَقُوا

And Allahazwj had Killed the tyrants in their best conditions, and gave Safety to those who used to be (oppressed). And Heazwj Made Hannaan to die, and destroyed the Pharaohla, and Heazwj has Killed Usman. Indeed! Your misfortunes have returned to what they were on the day Allahazwj Sent Hisazwj Prophetsaww. By the Oneazwj Who Sent himsaww by the truth, you will be confused with a (severe) confusion and be sifted with a (severe) sifting, and stirred and turned like the contents of a frying pan until your underside becomes your upper side and your upper side becomes your underside. The ones who used to be with the shortcomings will become the foremost ones, and those who used to be the foremost ones would become the people with shortcomings.

وَ اللَّهِ مَا كَتَمْتُ وَشْمَةً وَ لَا كَذَبْتُ كَذِبَةً وَ لَقَدْ نُبِّئْتُ بِهَذَا الْمَقَامِ وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْخَطَايَا خَيْلٌ شُمُسٌ حُمِلَ عَلَيْهَا أَهْلُهَا وَ خُلِعَتْ لُجُمُهَا فَتَقَحَّمَتْ بِهِمْ فِي النَّارِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ التَّقْوَى مَطَايَا ذُلُلٌ حُمِلَ عَلَيْهَا أَهْلُهَا وَ أُعْطُوا أَزِمَّتَهَا فَأَوْرَدَتْهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ فُتِحَتْ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُهَا وَ وَجَدُوا رِيحَهَا وَ طِيبَهَا وَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ ادْخُلُوها بِسَلامٍ آمِنِينَ

By Allahazwj! Iasws have neither concealed, nor blocked, nor lied a lie, and Iasws have been foretold about this place and this day. Indeed! And the sins are like uncontrollable horses which carry its riders, with its harnesses removed, plunging into the Fire.  Indeed! And the piety is like a humble ride which takes its rider, along with its rein, to the Paradise, and its Doors will be opened up for them, and they will find its aroma and goodness. And it will be said to them: ‘Enter it in peace and security’.

أَلَا وَ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي إِلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَنْ لَمْ أُشْرِكْهُ فِيهِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ أَهَبْهُ لَهُ وَ مَنْ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ مِنْهُ نَوْبَةٌ إِلَّا بِنَبِيٍّ يُبْعَثُ أَلَا وَ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَشْرَفَ مِنْهُ عَلَى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَانْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ

Indeed! The ones who had no association with it has preceded measws to this command (Caliphate), and the ones to whom it had not been Granted to, and the ones for whom there was no chance from it except if they were to be Prophetsas who had been Sent. And indeed! There is no Prophet as to be after Muhammadsaww who is more noble than himas over the intercession on the brink of the Fire. So they will fall with by it (their lies) in the Fire of Hell.

حَقٌّ وَ بَاطِلٌ وَ لِكُلٍّ أَهْلٌ فَلَئِنْ أَمِرَ الْبَاطِلُ لَقَدِيماً فَعَلَ وَ لَئِنْ قَلَّ الْحَقُّ فَلَرُبَّمَا وَ لَعَلَّ وَ لَقَلَّمَا أَدْبَرَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَقْبَلَ وَ لَئِنْ رُدَّ عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْرُكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ سُعَدَاءُ وَ مَا عَلَيَّ إِلَّا الْجُهْدُ وَ إِنِّي لَأَخْشَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا عَلَى فَتْرَةٍ مِلْتُمْ عَنِّي مَيْلَةً كُنْتُمْ فِيهَا عِنْدِي غَيْرَ مَحْمُودِي الرَّأْيِ وَ لَوْ أَشَاءُ لَقُلْتُ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَمَّا سَلَفَ

Truth as well as falsehood, for each of them are its people. The matter of falsehood is a very old one and has been active. And if the truth is less (in practice) it is because of ‘if’ and ‘maybe’. And it is rare that if a thing gone away comes back, and if your command (Caliphate) returns to you, you would be pleased, and it is not on measws except for the striving, and Iasws am afraid that you all will end up being on the nature of your nation (away) from measws, the nation that you were in beforehand and would not have a praiseworthy opinion in myasws sight, and if Iasws so desire to Iasws would say: ‘May Allahazwj Forgive what was in the past’.

سَبَقَ فِيهِ الرَّجُلَانِ وَ قَامَ الثَّالِثُ كَالْغُرَابِ هَمُّهُ بَطْنُهُ وَيْلَهُ لَوْ قُصَّ جَنَاحَاهُ وَ قُطِعَ رَأْسُهُ كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ شُغِلَ عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارُ أَمَامَهُ

Two men preceded measws with regards to it (Caliphate), and the third one stood up like the Raven. His main concern was his stomach. Woe be unto him! Had his wings been clipped and his head cut-off, it would have been better for him. He was distracted from the Paradise and the Hell was in front of him.

ثَلَاثَةٌ وَ اثْنَانِ خَمْسَةٌ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ سَادِسٌ مَلَكٌ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ وَ نَبِيٌّ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ بِضَبْعَيْهِ وَ سَاعٍ مُجْتَهِدٌ وَ طَالِبٌ يَرْجُو وَ مُقَصِّرٌ فِي النَّارِ

Three and two make five, there is no sixth of them – An Angel who files by his wings, and a Prophetas whom Allahazwj has Grabbed by hisas shoulders (Given him Divine Status), and a diligent seeker (momin), and a hopeful student, and a reducer (Muqassir) are in the Fire.

الْيَمِينُ وَ الشِّمَالُ مَضَلَّةٌ وَ الطَّرِيقُ الْوُسْطَى هِيَ الْجَادَّةُ عَلَيْهَا يَأْتِي الْكِتَابُ وَ آثَارُ النُّبُوَّةِ هَلَكَ مَنِ ادَّعَى وَ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَدَّبَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ بِالسَّيْفِ وَ السَّوْطِ وَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ فِيهِمَا هَوَادَةٌ فَاسْتَتِرُوا فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ وَ أَصْلِحُوا ذَاتَ بَيْنِكُمْ وَ التَّوْبَةُ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ مَنْ أَبْدَى صَفْحَتَهُ لِلْحَقِّ هَلَكَ .

The right and the left are misleading, whereas the middle path is the street on which you will come across the Book and the effects of the Prophet-hood. Destroyed is the one who makes a claim, and disillusioned is the one who fabricates that Allahazwj Disciplined this community by the sword and the whip, and there is no leniency for either of them with the Imamasws. So, hide in your homes and mend your relationships in between yourselves and the repentance is behind you all. The one who turned his cheek (opposed the Imamasws) to the truth is destroyed.

Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, said, ‘Heasws used to said that: ‘The most Beloved of you all to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is the one with the best deeds, and the greatest one of you in (the Sight of) Allahazwj is the one who has the greatest interest in what is with Allahazwj, and that the safest one of you from the Punishment of Allahazwj is the one who is the most intense is his fear of Allahazwj, and the nearest one of you to Allahazwj is the one who is the most moral one, and the one of you with whom Allahazwj is most Pleased with is the one who bestows the most upon his family, and the most prestigious one of you to Allahazwj is the one who is the most pious one to Allahazwj’.

H 14473 – A number from our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Musa Bin Umar Al-Sayqal, from Abu Shuayb Al-Mahaamily, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman who said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘An era will come upon the people in which, the debaucher (pervert) would be considered respectable, and nearness would be sought for the immoral, and fair play would be weak’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘When would that be, O Amir-ul-Momineenasws?’ Heasws said: ‘When an entrustment would be regarded as a gain and the Zakat as a loss, and the worship as a protracted (engagement), and the maintenance of good relations as a favour’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘When would that be, O Amir-ul-Momineenasws?’ So heasws said: ‘When the women become dominant, and the bondmaids would be empowered, and the young boys would assume command’.

14474-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْعَقَبِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ آدَمَ لَمْ يَلِدْ عَبْداً وَ لَا أَمَةً وَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ أَحْرَارٌ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ خَوَّلَ بَعْضَكُمْ بَعْضاً فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ بَلَاءٌ فَصَبَرَ فِي الْخَيْرِ فَلَا يَمُنَّ بِهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَلَا وَ قَدْ حَضَرَ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ نَحْنُ مُسَوُّونَ فِيهِ بَيْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْأَحْمَرِ فَقَالَ مَرْوَانُ لِطَلْحَةَ وَ الزُّبَيْرِ مَا أَرَادَ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمَا

H 14474 – A number from our companions, from Sahl Bin Zyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al-Aqabayy with an unbroken chain said:

‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws gave a sermon, so heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then said: ‘O you people! Surely, Adamas did not give birth to a slave or a bondmaid, and that all of the people are free, but Allahazwj Made some to be in authority over the others. So the one who had an affliction and he bore it patiently in goodness so he should not consider by it as a favour to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

Indeed! There are things present and we have equality regarding it between the black and the red’. So Marwaan said to Talha and Al-Zubeyr, ‘Heasws has not intended any by this other than the two of you’.

قَالَ فَأَعْطَى كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ وَ أَعْطَى رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ وَ جَاءَ بَعْدُ غُلَامٌ أَسْوَدُ فَأَعْطَاهُ ثَلَاثَةَ دَنَانِيرَ فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَذَا غُلَامٌ أَعْتَقْتُهُ بِالْأَمْسِ تَجْعَلُنِي وَ إِيَّاهُ سَوَاءً فَقَالَ إِنِّي نَظَرْتُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ لِوُلْدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلَى وُلْدِ إِسْحَاقَ فَضْلًا .

He (the narrator) said, ‘So heasws gave each one of them three Dinars, and gave a man from the Helpers three Dinars, and afterwards a black boy came over so heasws gave him three Dinars’. So the Helper said, ‘O Amir-ul-Momineenasws, this is a slave whom I freed yesterday. Youasws have made me and him as equals’. So heasws said: ‘Iasws looked in the Book of Allahazwj, Iasws could not find any preference for the sons of Ismailas over the sons of Is’haaqas’.

حَدِيثُ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حِينَ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْخَيْلُ

HADEETH OF THE PROPHETsaww WHEN THE HORSES WERE PRESENTED TO HIM saww

14475-  أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِعَرْضِ الْخَيْلِ فَمَرَّ بِقَبْرِ أَبِي أُحَيْحَةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْقَبْرِ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَيَصُدُّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ يُكَذِّبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ ابْنُهُ بَلْ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أَبَا قُحَافَةَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ يُقْرِي الضَّيْفَ وَ لَا يُقَاتِلُ الْعَدُوَّ فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ أَهْوَنَهُمَا عَلَى الْعَشِيرَةِ فَقْداً فَأَلْقَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) خِطَامَ رَاحِلَتِهِ عَلَى غَارِبِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا أَنْتُمْ تَنَاوَلْتُمُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَعُمُّوا وَ لَا تَخُصُّوا فَيَغْضَبَ وُلْدُهُ

H 14475 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Saalim and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father altogether, from Ahmad Bin Al-Nazar, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Abu Al-Qasim, from Al-Husayn Bin Abu Qatada altogether, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, who said:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The Messengeras of Allahazwj came out for the display of the horses. Hesaww passed by the grave of Abu Ahayhat. So Abu Bakr said, ‘Curse be upon the occupant of this grave, for by Allahazwj, he used to divert people away from the Way of Allahazwj and belied the Messengersaww of Allahazwj’. So Khalid, his (Ahayhat’s) son said, ‘But curse of Allahazwj be upon Abu Qohafa (Abu Bakr’s father), for by Allahazwj, he neither served a guest nor did he kill (fight) the enemy. So Allahazwj has Cursed the worthless one of the two of his clan’.

So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj placed the bridle of the horse upon his (Abu Bakr’s) neck and said: ‘Whenever you speak about the ‘Mushraqeen’ Polytheists speak in general terms and not particular, for you have anger his son’.

ثُمَّ وَقَفَ فَعُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْخَيْلُ فَمَرَّ بِهِ فَرَسٌ فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ إِنَّ مِنْ أَمْرِ هَذَا الْفَرَسِ كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله ) ذَرْنَا فَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِالْخَيْلِ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ وَ أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِالرِّجَالِ مِنْكَ

Then hesaww paused. The horses were displayed to himasws. So hesaww passed by a horse. Uyayna Bin Hisan said, ‘The matter of this horse is such and such’. The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘Leave us, for Isaww am more knowledgeable of the horses than you are’. Uyayna said, ‘And I am more knowledgeable of the men than yousaww are’ (Nouzobillah).

فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَتَّى ظَهَرَ الدَّمُ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَأَيُّ الرِّجَالِ أَفْضَلُ فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ رِجَالٌ يَكُونُونَ بِنَجْدٍ يَضَعُونَ سُيُوفَهُمْ عَلَى عَوَاتِقِهِمْ وَ رِمَاحَهُمْ عَلَى كَوَاثِبِ خَيْلِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَضْرِبُونَ بِهَا قُدُماً قُدُماً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَذَبْتَ بَلْ رِجَالُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَفْضَلُ الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانِيٌّ وَ الْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَّةٌ وَ لَوْ لَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ

So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj got angry to the extent that blood appeared in hissaww face. Hesaww said to him: ‘So which of the men are the best?’ Uyayna Bin Hisan said, ‘The men who are in Najd place their swords upon their shoulders and their spears upon the saddles of their horses, then march with them step by step’. The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘You are lying. But, the men of Yemen are better. The faith is in Yemen and the wisdom is in Yemen, and had it not been for the Emigration (Hijrat), Isaww would have been of the people of Yemen.

الْجَفَاءُ وَ الْقَسْوَةُ فِي الْفَدَّادِينَ أَصْحَابِ الْوَبَرِ رَبِيعَةَ وَ مُضَرَ مِنْ حَيْثُ يَطْلُعُ قَرْنُ الشَّمْسِ وَ مَذْحِجُ أَكْثَرُ قَبِيلٍ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ حَضْرَمَوْتُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَ رَوَى بَعْضُهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ بَجِيلَةُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ رِعْلٍ وَ ذَكْوَانَ وَ إِنْ يَهْلِكْ لِحْيَانُ فَلَا أُبَالِي

The alienation and the cruelty is in the acreages[10] of the owners of the cotton yarn, Rabi’ah and Muzar from where the rays of the sun appear, and (as for) Muzhaj most of the tribe will enter the Paradise, and Hazramaut is better than Aamir Bin Sa’sa (and some have reported ‘better than Haaris Bin Muawiya’) and Bajeela is better than Ra’al and Zakwaan, and if Lihyaan were to perish Iasws would not care’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُلُوكَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ جَمَداً وَ مَخْوَساً وَ مَشْرَحاً وَ أَبْضَعَةَ وَ أُخْتَهُمُ الْعَمَّرَدَةَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُحَلِّلَ وَ الْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ وَ مَنْ يُوَالِي غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ وَ مَنِ ادَّعَى نَسَباً لَا يُعْرَفُ وَ الْمُتَشَبِّهِينَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ بِالنِّسَاءِ وَ الْمُتَشَبِّهَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ بِالرِّجَالِ وَ مَنْ أَحْدَثَ حَدَثاً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثاً وَ مَنْ قَتَلَ غَيْرَ قَاتِلِهِ أَوْ ضَرَبَ غَيْرَ ضَارِبِهِ وَ مَنْ لَعَنَ أَبَوَيْهِ

Then hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj has Cursed four kings – Jamada, and Makhwasa, and Mashraha, and Abza’a, as well as Akhtam Al-Ammaradat. Allahazwj has Cursed Al-Muhallal (One who legalises a woman for her previous husband after three divorces from him) and the one to whom she has been made legal for, and the slave who does not obey his master, and the one who makes a claim for lineage, and the man who is effeminate (has feminine traits) and the woman who has masculine traits, and the one who innovates something new in Al-Islam or helps an innovator, and the one who kills someone other than the one who wants to kill him, or strike against someone other than the one who wants to strike him, and the one who curses his father’.

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ يُوجَدُ رَجُلٌ يَلْعَنُ أَبَوَيْهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَلْعَنُ آبَاءَ الرِّجَالِ وَ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ فَيَلْعَنُونَ أَبَوَيْهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ رِعْلًا وَ ذَكْوَانَ وَ عَضَلًا وَ لِحْيَانَ وَ الْمُجْذَمِينَ مِنْ أَسَدٍ وَ غَطَفَانَ وَ أَبَا سُفْيَانَ بْنَ حَرْبٍ وَ شَهْبَلًا ذَا الْأَسْنَانِ وَ ابْنَيْ مَلِيكَةَ بْنِ جَزِيمٍ وَ مَرْوَانَ وَ هَوْذَةَ وَ هَوْنَةَ .

So a man said, ‘O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, is there a man who curses his own father?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, he who curses the fathers and the mothers of the men, so he has cursed his own father. Allahazwj has Cursed Ra’la, and Zakwaan, and Azla, and Lahyaan, and the criminals of Asad, and Ghatfaan, and Abu Sufyan Bin Harb, and Shahbala of two teeth, and the two sons of Malikat Bin Jazeem, and Marwaan, and Howzat and Hownat’.

14476-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ مَوْلًى لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) سَأَلَهُ مَالًا فَقَالَ يَخْرُجُ عَطَائِي فَأُقَاسِمُكَ هُوَ فَقَالَ لَا أَكْتَفِي وَ خَرَجَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَوَصَلَهُ فَكَتَبَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) يُخْبِرُهُ بِمَا أَصَابَ مِنَ الْمَالِ

H 14476 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from one of his companions, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has reported that ‘A slave of Amir-ul-Momineenasws asked himasws for some wealth, so heasws said: ‘When myasws share comes to measws Iasws will distribute it to you’. He said, ‘I am not content’, and he went to Muawiya who gave it to him. So he wrote to Amir-ul-Momineenasws informing himasws of what he had received from the wealth.

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ مَا فِي يَدِكَ مِنَ الْمَالِ قَدْ كَانَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ قَبْلَكَ وَ هُوَ صَائِرٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ بَعْدَكَ وَ إِنَّمَا لَكَ مِنْهُ مَا مَهَّدْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ فَآثِرْ نَفْسَكَ عَلَى صَلَاحِ وُلْدِكَ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتَ جَامِعٌ لِأَحَدِ رَجُلَيْنِ إِمَّا رَجُلٌ عَمِلَ فِيهِ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ فَسَعِدَ بِمَا شَقِيتَ وَ إِمَّا رَجُلٌ عَمِلَ فِيهِ بِمَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَشَقِيَ بِمَا جَمَعْتَ لَهُ وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ هَذَيْنِ أَحَدٌ بِأَهْلٍ أَنْ تُؤْثِرَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ لَا تُبَرِّدَ لَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِكَ فَارْجُ لِمَنْ مَضَى رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ وَ ثِقْ لِمَنْ بَقِيَ بِرِزْقِ اللَّهِ .

So Amir-ul-Momineenasws wrote to him: ‘Thereafter, that which is in your hand from the wealth, there used to be an owner for it before you, and it will get transferred to its (next) owner after you, but what is for you from it is what you pave the way for yourself (for the Hereafter). So prefer yourself over the correction of your children, for what you have gathered is for one of the two men - for a man who works in it by the obedience to Allahazwj so he is fortunate with what he receives from you, and as for a man who works in it by the disobedience to Allahazwj so he is unfortunate by what you have gathered for him, and there is none from these two who is deserving of being preferred over yourself, and do not place a burden upon your back. So be hopeful of the Mercy of Allahazwj for what has past, and place your trust in the sustenance from Allahazwj for what remains (of your life)’.

14477-  حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَعِظُ النَّاسَ وَ يُزَهِّدُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ يُرَغِّبُهُمْ فِي أَعْمَالِ الْآخِرَةِ بِهَذَا الْكَلَامِ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ حُفِظَ عَنْهُ وَ كُتِبَ

H 14477 – Narrated to me Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father altogether from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib Al-Asady from his father, from Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab who said:

‘Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws used to advise the people and to make them to be ascetic in this world and incline them towards the deeds for the Hereafter by this speech in every Friday in the Masjid of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj which was preserved and written down.

كَانَ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ فَتَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُحْضَراً وَ مَا عَمِلَتْ مِنْ سُوءٍ تَوَدُّ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَهُ أَمَداً بَعِيداً وَ يُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ وَيْحَكَ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ الْغَافِلَ وَ لَيْسَ بِمَغْفُولٍ عَنْهُ

Heasws would say: ‘O you people! Fear Allahazwj and know that you will be returning to Himazwj. So each soul would find what it had done in this world from the good in recorded form, and what it had done from the evil even though there would have been between it and itself a long time. And Allahazwj Himselfazwj has Cautioned you, and woe be unto you O oblivious[11] son of Adamas for Heazwj is not Oblivious of you.

يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّ أَجَلَكَ أَسْرَعُ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَيْكَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ نَحْوَكَ حَثِيثاً يَطْلُبُكَ وَ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُدْرِكَكَ وَ كَأَنْ قَدْ أَوْفَيْتَ أَجَلَكَ وَ قَبَضَ الْمَلَكُ رُوحَكَ وَ صِرْتَ إِلَى قَبْرِكَ وَحِيداً فَرَدَّ إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ رُوحَكَ وَ اقْتَحَمَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ مَلَكَانِ نَاكِرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ لِمُسَاءَلَتِكَ وَ شَدِيدِ امْتِحَانِكَ

O son of Adamas, your death is the quickest thing coming towards you seeking you in an aggressive manner. It would be around you when your time elapses and the Angel would capture your soul and take you to your grave alone. It would then return your soul back to you in it, and two Angels would storm into it, Naakir and Nakeer to question you and test you severely.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا يَسْأَلَانِكَ عَنْ رَبِّكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَعْبُدُهُ وَ عَنْ نَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي أُرْسِلَ إِلَيْكَ و عَنْ دِينِكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَدِينُ بِهِ وَ عَنْ كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَتْلُوهُ وَ عَنْ إِمَامِكَ الَّذِي كُنْتَ تَتَوَلَّاهُ ثُمَّ عَنْ عُمُرِكَ فِيمَا كُنْتَ أَفْنَيْتَهُ وَ مَالِكَ مِنْ أَيْنَ اكْتَسَبْتَهُ وَ فِيمَا أَنْتَ أَنْفَقْتَهُ

And indeed! the first thing what they will ask you would be about your Lordazwj which you had worshipped, and about your Prophetsaww whosaww was sent to you, and about your Religion which you had made it to be, and about your Book which you recited, and about your Imamasws whom you had befriended. Then about your life what you had spent it on, and your wealth from where you had acquired it and in what you had spent it on.

فَخُذْ حِذْرَكَ وَ انْظُرْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ أَعِدَّ الْجَوَابَ قَبْلَ الِامْتِحَانِ وَ الْمُسَائَلَةِ وَ الِاخْتِبَارِ فَإِنْ تَكُ مُؤْمِناً عَارِفاً بِدِينِكَ مُتَّبِعاً لِلصَّادِقِينَ مُوَالِياً لِأَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ لَقَّاكَ اللَّهُ حُجَّتَكَ وَ أَنْطَقَ لِسَانَكَ بِالصَّوَابِ وَ أَحْسَنْتَ الْجَوَابَ وَ بُشِّرْتَ بِالرِّضْوَانِ وَ الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَتْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِالرَّوْحِ وَ الرَّيْحَانِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ كَذَلِكَ تَلَجْلَجَ لِسَانُكَ وَ دُحِضَتْ حُجَّتُكَ وَ عَيِيتَ عَنِ الْجَوَابِ وَ بُشِّرْتَ بِالنَّارِ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَتْكَ مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ بِنُزُلٍ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ وَ تَصْلِيَةِ جَحِيمٍ

So take caution and look at yourself, and prepare the answers before the examination, and the questioning, and the test. So if you are a Believer having understood your Religion, followed the truthful onesasws, befriended the friends of Allahazwj, Allahazwj will Provide your argument for you, and make your tongue to speak correctly and give good answers, and you will receive the news of the happiness and the Paradise from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. And the Angels will welcome you with joyful spirits and aromatic fragrance. If you do not become like that, your tongue will waver, and your argument will fail, and you will be unable to answer, and you will receive news of the Fire, and the Angels of Punishment will drag you into the Hell and its intense heat.

وَ اعْلَمْ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ هَذَا أَعْظَمَ وَ أَفْظَعَ وَ أَوْجَعَ لِلْقُلُوبِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ يُنْفَخُ فِي الصُّورِ وَ تُبَعْثَرُ فِيهِ الْقُبُورُ وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْآزِفَةِ إِذِ الْقُلُوبُ لَدَى الْحَناجِرِ كاظِمِينَ وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمٌ لَا تُقَالُ فِيهِ عَثْرَةٌ وَ لَا يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ فِدْيَةٌ وَ لَا تُقْبَلُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مَعْذِرَةٌ وَ لَا لِأَحَدٍ فِيهِ مُسْتَقْبَلُ تَوْبَةٍ لَيْسَ إِلَّا الْجَزَاءُ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ وَ الْجَزَاءُ بِالسَّيِّئَاتِ فَمَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَمِلَ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَجَدَهُ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَمِلَ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا مِثْقَالَ ذَرَّةٍ مِنْ شَرٍّ وَجَدَهُ

And know, O son of Adamas that what is coming behind you on the Day of Judgement is greater and more shocking and painful for the heart. That is the Day in which all people would be Gathered and that is the Day of Witnessing. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Gather in it the former ones and the later ones. That is the Day in which the Trumpet would be Blown and the graves would be scattered. And that is the Day of tremors and the hearts would come up to the throat and the stumbling would not be reduced, and no ransom would be taken from anyone, and no excuses would be acceptable from anyone, and no repentance would be Accepted from anyone.

There is nothing except for the Recompense for the good deeds and the Recompense for the evil deeds. So the one who was from the Believers having done a good deed in this world the weight of an atom would find it, and the one was from the Believers having done an evil deed in this world the weight of an atom would find it too.

فَاحْذَرُوا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْمَعَاصِي مَا قَدْ نَهَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا وَ حَذَّرَكُمُوهَا فِي كِتَابِهِ الصَّادِقِ وَ الْبَيَانِ النَّاطِقِ وَ لَا تَأْمَنُوا مَكْرَ اللَّهِ وَ تَحْذِيرَهُ وَ تَهْدِيدَهُ عِنْدَ مَا يَدْعُوكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ اللَّعِينُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ عَاجِلِ الشَّهَوَاتِ وَ اللَّذَّاتِ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذا مَسَّهُمْ طائِفٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذا هُمْ مُبْصِرُونَ

So be cautious, O you people from the sins and the disobedience to what Allahazwj has Forbidden you from and Cautioned you in Hisazwj Truthful Book, and the Speaking Proofsasws. And do not feel secure from the Abhorrence of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Cautions and Hisazwj Threats from what the accursed Satanla calls you to himselfla from the desires of short duration and the pleasures in this world, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[7:201] Surely those who guard (against evil), when a visitation from the Shaitan afflicts them they become mindful, then lo! they see”.

وَ أَشْعِرُوا قُلُوبَكُمْ خَوْفَ اللَّهِ وَ تَذَكَّرُوا مَا قَدْ وَعَدَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي مَرْجِعُكُمْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ حُسْنِ ثَوَابِهِ كَمَا قَدْ خَوَّفَكُمْ مِنْ شَدِيدِ الْعِقَابِ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ خَافَ شَيْئاً حَذِرَهُ وَ مَنْ حَذِرَ شَيْئاً تَرَكَهُ وَ لَا تَكُونُوا مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ الْمَائِلِينَ إِلَى زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا الَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ أَ فَأَمِنَ الَّذِينَ مَكَرُوا السَّيِّئاتِ أَنْ يَخْسِفَ اللَّهُ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذابُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لا يَشْعُرُونَ أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ فِي تَقَلُّبِهِمْ فَما هُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ أَوْ يَأْخُذَهُمْ عَلى تَخَوُّفٍ

You must get your hearts to feel the fear of Allahazwj and remember what Heazwj has Promised you regarding your returning to Himazwj from the good Rewards from Himazwj, just as you fear the harsh Punishment, for the one who fears something would be cautious of it, and the one who is cautious of something would avoid it. And do not become of the oblivious ones, the ones inclined towards the flowers of the world of those who devise evil, for Allahazwj Said in Hisazwj Decisive Book: “[16:45] Do they then who plan evil (deeds) feel secure (of this) that Allah will not cause the earth to swallow them or that punishment may not overtake them from whence they do not perceive? [16:46] Or that He may not seize them in the course of their journeys, then shall they not escape; [16:47] Or that He may not seize them by causing them to suffer gradual loss”

فَاحْذَرُوا مَا حَذَّرَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِمَا فَعَلَ بِالظَّلَمَةِ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ لَا تَأْمَنُوا أَنْ يُنْزِلَ بِكُمْ بَعْضَ مَا تَوَاعَدَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ فِي الْكِتَابِ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ وَعَظَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ بِغَيْرِكُمْ فَإِنَّ السَّعِيدَ مَنْ وُعِظَ بِغَيْرِهِ وَ لَقَدْ أَسْمَعَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ مَا قَدْ فَعَلَ بِالْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرَى قَبْلَكُمْ حَيْثُ قَالَ وَ كَمْ قَصَمْنا مِنْ قَرْيَةٍ كانَتْ ظالِمَةً وَ إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِالْقَرْيَةِ أَهْلَهَا حَيْثُ يَقُولُ وَ أَنْشَأْنا بَعْدَها قَوْماً آخَرِينَ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بَأْسَنا إِذا هُمْ مِنْها يَرْكُضُونَ يَعْنِي يَهْرُبُونَ قَالَ لا تَرْكُضُوا وَ ارْجِعُوا إِلى ما أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَ مَساكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْئَلُونَ فَلَمَّا أَتَاهُمُ الْعَذَابُ قالُوا يا وَيْلَنا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظالِمِينَ فَما زاَلَتْ تِلْكَ دَعْواهُمْ حَتَّى جَعَلْناهُمْ حَصِيداً خامِدِينَ

So be cautious of what Allahazwj has Cautioned you with what Heazwj has Done with the unjust ones in Hisazwj Book, and do not feel secure from what has been Promised for the unjust people in the Book. By Allahazwj, Allahazwj has Advised you all in Hisazwj Book by way of other people. So, happy is the one who takes a lesson from the advice given to others.

Allahazwj has Made you hear in Hisazwj Book what Heazwj has Done with the unjust people of the town before you where Heazwj said: “[21:11] And how many a town which was iniquitous did We demolish”, but rather what is Meant by the ‘town’ is its inhabitants, where Heazwj Said: “[21:11] and We raised up after it another people!”. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[21:12] Yet, when they felt Our Punishment (coming), behold, they (tried to) flee from it. [21:13] Flee not, but return to the good things of this life which were given you, and to your homes in order that ye may be called to account.” So when the Punishment Came upon them, they said “[21:14] They said: O woe to us! surely we were unjust [21:15] And that cry of theirs ceased not, till We made them as a field that is mown, as ashes silent and quenched”.

وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ عِظَةٌ لَكُمْ وَ تَخْوِيفٌ إِنِ اتَّعَظْتُمْ وَ خِفْتُمْ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ الْقَوْلُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي الْكِتَابِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَعَاصِي وَ الذُّنُوبِ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَئِنْ مَسَّتْهُمْ نَفْحَةٌ مِنْ عَذابِ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ يا وَيْلَنا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظالِمِينَ فَإِنْ قُلْتُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهَذَا أَهْلَ الشِّرْكِ فَكَيْفَ ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ وَ نَضَعُ الْمَوازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ فَلا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئاً وَ إِنْ كانَ مِثْقالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنا بِها وَ كَفى بِنا حاسِبِينَ اعْلَمُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الشِّرْكِ لَا يُنْصَبُ لَهُمُ الْمَوَازِينُ وَ لَا يُنْشَرُ لَهُمُ الدَّوَاوِينُ وَ إِنَّمَا يُحْشَرُونَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَراً وَ إِنَّمَا نَصْبُ الْمَوَازِينِ وَ نَشْرُ الدَّوَاوِينِ لِأَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ

By Allahazwj, let this be an Advice for you and a Warning that you should heed and fear. Then refer to the Words from Allahazwj in Hisazwj Book against the people of disobedience and the sins. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[21:46] And if a blast of the chastisement of your Lord were to touch them, they will certainly say: O woe to us! surely we were unjust”.

O you people! If you were to say that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Meant by this the people of the ‘Mushriqeen’ (Polytheism), so how can that be and Heazwj Says: “[21:47] And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.” Know, O servants of Allahazwj, that the people of the Polytheism will not have a Balance set up for them nor will their Register (of deeds) be published and they will be herded to Hell in groups, but rather the Balance and the publishing of the Register (of deeds) will be for the people of Al-Islam.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يُحِبَّ زَهْرَةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ عَاجِلَهَا لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ لَمْ يُرَغِّبْهُمْ فِيهَا وَ فِي عَاجِلِ زَهْرَتِهَا وَ ظَاهِرِ بَهْجَتِهَا وَ إِنَّمَا خَلَقَ الدُّنْيَا وَ خَلَقَ أَهْلَهَا لِيَبْلُوَهُمْ فِيهَا أَيُّهُمْ أَحْسَنُ عَمَلًا لآِخِرَتِهِ وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ ضَرَبَ لَكُمْ فِيهِ الْأَمْثَالَ وَ صَرَّفَ الْآيَاتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

So fear Allahazwj, O servants of Allahazwj and know that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic does not Love the blossoms of the world and its temporal matters for anyone of Hisazwj friends and does not Encourage them with regards to it and regarding its temporary blossoms and apparent delights. But rather, Heazwj Created the world and Created its people so that they may be Tested therein as to which one of them is good in deeds for his Hereafter. And by Allahazwj, Heazwj has Struck examples for you with regards to it and Presented Signs for the people of intellect, and there is no Strength except by Allahazwj. 

فَازْهَدُوا فِيمَا زَهَّدَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ مِنْ عَاجِلِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ وَ قَوْلُهُ الْحَقُّ إِنَّما مَثَلُ الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا كَماءٍ أَنْزَلْناهُ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَباتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَ الْأَنْعامُ حَتَّى إِذا أَخَذَتِ الْأَرْضُ زُخْرُفَها وَ ازَّيَّنَتْ وَ ظَنَّ أَهْلُها أَنَّهُمْ قادِرُونَ عَلَيْها أَتاها أَمْرُنا لَيْلًا أَوْ نَهاراً فَجَعَلْناها حَصِيداً كَأَنْ لَمْ تَغْنَ بِالْأَمْسِ كَذلِكَ نُفَصِّلُ الْآياتِ لِقَوْمٍ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

So abstain yourselves from what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Told you to abstain from regarding the temporary life of the world, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said, and Hisazwj Words are the Truth: “[10:24] The likeness of the life of the present is as the rain which We send down from the skies: by its mingling arises the produce of the earth- which provides food for men and animals: (It grows) till the earth is clad with its golden ornaments and is decked out (in beauty): the people to whom it belongs think they have all powers of disposal over it: There reaches it Our command by night or by day, and We make it like a harvest clean-mown, as if it had not flourished only the day before! thus do We explain the Signs in detail for those who reflect.”

فَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ وَ لَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ لا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا فَتَمَسَّكُمُ النَّارُ وَ لَا تَرْكَنُوا إِلَى زَهْرَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا رُكُونَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَهَا دَارَ قَرَارٍ وَ مَنْزِلَ اسْتِيطَانٍ فَإِنَّهَا دَارُ بُلْغَةٍ وَ مَنْزِلُ قُلْعَةٍ وَ دَارُ عَمَلٍ فَتَزَوَّدُوا الْأَعْمَالَ الصَّالِحَةَ فِيهَا قَبْلَ تَفَرُّقِ أَيَّامِهَا وَ قَبْلَ الْإِذْنِ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِي خَرَابِهَا فَكَانَ قَدْ أَخْرَبَهَا الَّذِي عَمَرَهَا أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَ ابْتَدَأَهَا وَ هُوَ وَلِيُّ مِيرَاثِهَا

Servants of Allahazwj! become of the people who reflect and do not incline towards the world, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Muhammadsaww: “[11:113] And do not incline to those who are unjust, lest the fire touch you,”, and do not incline towards the blossoms of the world and what is in it, like those who have taken it to be a house of permanent settlement for it is a lowly house, a shabby home, and a place of deeds. So make provisions in it of the good deeds before its days disperse and before the Call from Allahazwj for its destruction, for the Oneazwj Who Destroys it is the Oneazwj Who Built it in the first place and initiated it and Heazwj is the Guardian of its inheritance.

فَأَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَوْنَ لَنَا وَ لَكُمْ عَلَى تَزَوُّدِ التَّقْوَى وَ الزُّهْدِ فِيهَا جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ فِي عَاجِلِ زَهْرَةِ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا الرَّاغِبِينَ لآِجِلِ ثَوَابِ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّمَا نَحْنُ بِهِ وَ لَهُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ .

So I hereby ask Allahazwj for the Support for usasws and for you all for the provisions of the piety and the restraint and may Allahazwj Make usasws and you to be of the ascetics with regards to the blossoms of the life of the world and of those who are hopeful for the Rewards of the Hereafter, for we are with Himazwj and for Himazwj. And Greetings of peace be upon Muhammadsaww the Prophet and hissaww Progenyasws and peace, and peace be upon you all and the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings’.

HADEETH OF THE OLD MAN WITH AL-BAQIR asws

H 14478 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘Narrated to me a man from our companions’, from Al-Hakam Bin Uteyba who said:

‘I was with Abu Ja’farasws and the house was full of its people when an old man (Sheykh) came up leaning upon his goat (for support) until he paused at the door of the house. He said, ‘Salam un Allaika’ ‘Peace be upon you O sonasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings’. Then he was quiet. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And peace be upon you and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings’. Then the old man turned his face toward the people of the house and said, ‘Peace be upon you’. Then he was quiet until all the people had answered him and returned his greetings.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَدْنِنِي مِنْكَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكُمْ وَ أُحِبُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكُمْ وَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُحِبُّكُمْ وَ أُحِبُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكُمْ لِطَمَعٍ فِي دُنْيَا وَ [اللَّهِ] إِنِّي لَأُبْغِضُ عَدُوَّكُمْ وَ أَبْرَأُ مِنْهُ وَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُبْغِضُهُ وَ أَبْرَأُ مِنْهُ لِوَتْرٍ كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِلُّ حَلَالَكُمْ وَ أُحَرِّمُ حَرَامَكُمْ وَ أَنْتَظِرُ أَمْرَكُمْ فَهَلْ تَرْجُو لِي جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ

Then he turned his face towards Abu Ja’farasws, then said, ‘O sonasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, allow me (to come near youasws), may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws, for by Allahazwj, I love youasws and love those who love youasws, and by Allahazwj I don’t love youasws and those who love youasws for the greed of the world. By Allahazwj I hate yourasws enemies and keep away from them, and by Allahazwj I do not hate them and keep away from them due to the dispute between me and them. By Allahazwj, I permit for myself that which youasws have made it to be permissible, and prohibit to myself that which youasws have made it to be prohibited, and I await yourasws command. So is there hope for me, may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for you?’

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَيَّ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى أَقْعَدَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ إِنَّ أَبِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ مِثْلِ الَّذِي سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبِي ( عليه السلام ) إِنْ تَمُتْ تَرِدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ يَثْلَجُ قَلْبُكَ وَ يَبْرُدُ فُؤَادُكَ وَ تَقَرُّ عَيْنُكَ وَ تُسْتَقْبَلُ بِالرَّوْحِ وَ الرَّيْحَانِ مَعَ الْكِرَامِ الْكَاتِبِينَ لَوْ قَدْ بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُكَ هَاهُنَا وَ أَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ وَ إِنْ تَعِشْ تَرَى مَا يُقِرُّ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَيْنَكَ وَ تَكُونُ مَعَنَا فِي السَّنَامِ الْأَعْلَى فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْكَلَامَ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Come near, come near’, until heasws seated him by hisasws side, then said: ‘O you old man, a man came to myasws fatherasws Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws and asked him similar to what you has asked measws. So myasws fatherasws said to him: ‘If you were to die you would return to the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and to Aliasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws. Your heart would be in delight and it would be cooled at what your eyes would recognise, and you would be welcomed by the Spirit and the fragrance along with the Honourable Scribes. If your soul reaches here’ – and heasws indicated by hisasws hand to hisasws throat – ‘and when you live you will see what delights Allahazwj has Kept for your eyes, and you will be with usasws in the highest peak’. The old man said, ‘What did youasws say, O Abu Ja’farasws’. So heasws repeated the words for him.

فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ إِنْ أَنَا مِتُّ أَرِدُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ تَقَرُّ عَيْنِي وَ يَثْلَجُ قَلْبِي وَ يَبْرُدُ فُؤَادِي وَ أُسْتَقْبَلُ بِالرَّوْحِ وَ الرَّيْحَانِ مَعَ الْكِرَامِ الْكَاتِبِينَ لَوْ قَدْ بَلَغَتْ نَفْسِي إِلَى هَاهُنَا وَ إِنْ أَعِشْ أَرَى مَا يُقِرُّ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَيْنِي فَأَكُونُ مَعَكُمْ فِي السَّنَامِ الْأَعْلَى

The old man said, ‘Allahazwj is Great! O Abu Ja’farasws, if I were to die I would return to the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and to Aliasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws, and my eyes would be delighted, and my heart would be cooled, and I would be welcome by the Spirit and the fragrance along with the Honourable Scribes. If my soul reached up to here, and I will live and see what delights Allahazwj has Kept for my eyes, so I would be with youasws in the highest peak’.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ الشَّيْخُ يَنْتَحِبُ يَنْشِجُ هَا هَا هَا حَتَّى لَصِقَ بِالْأَرْضِ وَ أَقْبَلَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ يَنْتَحِبُونَ وَ يَنْشِجُونَ لِمَا يَرَوْنَ مِنْ حَالِ الشَّيْخِ وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَمْسَحُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ الدُّمُوعَ مِنْ حَمَالِيقِ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ يَنْفُضُهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ الشَّيْخُ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ نَاوِلْنِي يَدَكَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ فَنَاوَلَهُ يَدَهُ فَقَبَّلَهَا وَ وَضَعَهَا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَ خَدِّهِ ثُمَّ حَسَرَ عَنْ بَطْنِهِ وَ صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ

Then the old man sobbed and wailed saying ‘Haaa, haaa, haaa’, until he rolled upon the ground, and all the people in the house sobbed and wailed upon seeing the condition of the old man, and Abu Ja’farasws came and wiped his tears from his eyes with hisasws finger then flicked them away. Then the old man raised his head so he said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘O sonasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, give me yourasws hand, may Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws’. So heasws gave him hisasws hand. So he kissed it and place it upon his eyes and his cheek, then placed it upon his abdomen and his chest. Then he stood up to leave and said, ‘Peace be upon youasws’.

وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَنْظُرُ فِي قَفَاهُ وَ هُوَ مُدْبِرٌ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا فَقَالَ الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عُتَيْبَةَ لَمْ أَرَ مَأْتَماً قَطُّ يُشْبِهُ ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسَ .

And Abu Ja’farasws kissed the scruff of his neck and looked at him when he was leaving. Heasws then turned hisasws face towards the people, so heasws said: ‘The one who would love to look at a man from the inhabitants of the Paradise, so they should look at this one’. Al-Hakam Al-Uteyba said, ‘I had never seen such mourners at all resembling like that gathering’.

قِصَّةُ صَاحِبِ الزَّيْتِ

STORY OF THE OIL TRADER

14479-  عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يَبِيعُ الزَّيْتَ وَ كَانَ يُحِبُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حُبّاً شَدِيداً كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ فِي حَاجَتِهِ لَمْ يَمْضِ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ قَدْ عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا جَاءَ تَطَاوَلَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ ذَاتُ يَوْمٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَتَطَاوَلَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَتَّى نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى فِي حَاجَتِهِ

H 14479 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from one of our companions who said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There was a man who used to sell oil, and he used to love the Messengersaww of Allahazwj with intense love. Whenever he intended to go for his business needs, he would never do it unless he looked at the Messengersaww of Allahazwj first. He became well known for that for he would stretch himself above others so that he could look at himsaww. It so happened that one day he came over to himsaww and stretched out to look at the Messengersaww of Allahazwj until he saw himsaww, then he went away for his business needs.

فَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ رَجَعَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَدْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ اجْلِسْ فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ فَعَلْتَ الْيَوْمَ شَيْئاً لَمْ تَكُنْ تَفْعَلُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَغَشِيَ قَلْبِي شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ حَتَّى مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أَمْضِيَ فِي حَاجَتِي حَتَّى رَجَعْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَدَعَا لَهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ خَيْراً ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَيَّاماً لَا يَرَاهُ فَلَمَّا فَقَدَهُ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْنَاهُ مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ

It was not long before he returned. So when the Messengersaww of Allahazwj saw him do that hesaww gestured by hissaww (hand) to beckon him to be seated. So he sat down in front of himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘What is the matter that you have done something which you had not done before that?’ He said, ‘O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, by the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww, my remembrance of yousaww overwhelmed my heart to the extent that I did not have the ability to go about my business until I returned to yousaww’. So hesaww supplicated for him and wished him well. Then the Messengersaww of Allahazwj waited a few days but did not see him, so hesaww asked about him. It was said to himsaww, ‘O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, we have not seen him for days’.

فَانْتَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ انْتَعَلَ مَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَوْا سُوقَ الزَّيْتِ فَإِذَا دُكَّانُ الرَّجُلِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ جِيرَتَهُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَاتَ وَ لَقَدْ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا أَمِيناً صَدُوقاً إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ قَالَ وَ مَا هِيَ قَالُوا كَانَ يَرْهَقُ يَعْنُونَ يَتْبَعُ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ يُحِبُّنِي حُبّاً لَوْ كَانَ نَخَّاساً لَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ .

So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj put on hissaww shoes, and hissaww companions did the same and walked until hesaww came to the oil market. At the shop of the man there was no one in it. So hesaww asked the neighbours about him. They said, ‘O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, he died, and he used to be a trustworthy one among us and truthful, but he had one (peculiar) habit’. Hesaww said: ‘And what was that?’ They said, ‘He used to exhaust himself following the women’. So the Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy upon him. By Allahazwj, he used to love mesaww with (intense) love. Even if he had been a slave trader, Allahazwj would Forgive him’.

14480-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَصْحَابُكَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَشَرُّ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ الْمَجُوسِ وَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا قَالَ وَ كَانَ مُتَّكِئاً فَاسْتَوَى جَالِساً ثُمَّ قَالَ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ قُلْتُ وَ اللَّهِ لَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُمْ أَشَرُّ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ النَّصَارَى وَ الْمَجُوسِ وَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا تَدْخُلُ النَّارَ مِنْكُمُ اثْنَانِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَا وَاحِدٌ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكُمُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قالُوا ما لَنا لا نَرى رِجالًا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهُمْ مِنَ الْأَشْرارِ أَتَّخَذْناهُمْ سِخْرِيًّا أَمْ زاغَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَبْصارُ إِنَّ ذلِكَ لَحَقٌّ تَخاصُمُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ثُمَّ قَالَ طَلَبُوكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ فِي النَّارِ فَمَا وَجَدُوا مِنْكُمْ أَحَداً

H 14480 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Usman Bin Isa, from Muyassar who said:

‘I came up to Abu Abdullahasws. Heasws said: ‘How are your companions?’ So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, we (Shiites) are more evil in the people’s eyes than the Jews, and the Christians, and the Magians, and those who associate (Mushriqeen)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws had been leaning upon a pillow, so heasws sat up straight, then said: ‘How did you say that which you said?’ I said, ‘By Allahazwj, we (Shiites) are (considered to be) the most evil ones among them, more so than the Jews and the Christians, and the Magians, and those that associate (Mushriqeen)’.

Heasws said: ‘But, by Allahazwj, no two of you will enter the Fire. No, by Allahazwj, not even one. By Allahazwj, you (Shiites) are the ones about whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[38:62] And they shall say: What is the matter with us that we do not see men whom we used to count among the evil? [38:63] Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them? [38:64] That most surely is the truth: the contending one with another of the inmates of the fire”. Then heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, they will be seeking you in the Fire, so they will not find even one of you therein’.

وَصِيَّةُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام )

THE WILL OF THE PROPHETsaww TO AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14481-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ كَانَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) لِعَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) أَنْ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أُوصِيكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ بِخِصَالٍ فَاحْفَظْهَا عَنِّي

H 14481 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullah say: ‘There was in the bequest of the Prophetsaww to Aliasws that hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws, Isaww hereby bequeath youasws with regards to yourselfasws of qualities, so preserve them from mesaww’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنْهُ أَمَّا الْأُولَى فَالصِّدْقُ وَ لَا تَخْرُجَنَّ مِنْ فِيكَ كَذِبَةٌ أَبَداً وَ الثَّانِيَةُ الْوَرَعُ وَ لَا تَجْتَرِئْ عَلَى خِيَانَةٍ أَبَداً وَ الثَّالِثَةُ الْخَوْفُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ وَ الرَّابِعَةُ كَثْرَةُ الْبُكَاءِ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ يُبْنَى لَكَ بِكُلِّ دَمْعَةٍ أَلْفُ بَيْتٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْخَامِسَةُ بَذْلُكَ مَالَكَ وَ دَمَكَ دُونَ دِينِكَ وَ السَّادِسَةُ الْأَخْذُ بِسُنَّتِي فِي صَلَاتِي وَ صَوْمِي وَ صَدَقَتِي

Then hesaww said: ‘Our Allahazwj, Support himasws. As for the first one is to be truthful, and do not let lies to come out from youasws ever. And the second is the piety and do not let yourselfasws be treacherous ever. And the third is the fear of Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, as if youasws can actually see Himazwj. And the fourth is the excessive weeping for the fear of Allahazwj. There will be built for youasws, for every tear drop, a thousand houses in the Paradise. And the fifth is that yourasws wealth and yourasws blood is not for other than yourasws Religion. And the sixth is to take to mysaww Sunnah with regards to mysaww Prayer, and mysaww Fast, and mysaww charity.

أَمَّا الصَّلَاةُ فَالْخَمْسُونَ رَكْعَةً وَ أَمَّا الصِّيَامُ فَثَلَاثَةُ أَيَّامٍ فِي الشَّهْرِ الْخَمِيسُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءُ فِي وَسَطِهِ وَ الْخَمِيسُ فِي آخِرِهِ وَ أَمَّا الصَّدَقَةُ فَجُهْدَكَ حَتَّى تَقُولَ قَدْ أَسْرَفْتُ وَ لَمْ تُسْرِفْ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلَاةِ الزَّوَالِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلَاةِ الزَّوَالِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِصَلَاةِ الزَّوَالِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِتِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِرَفْعِ يَدَيْكَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ وَ تَقْلِيبِهِمَا وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالسِّوَاكِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ وُضُوءٍ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِمَحَاسِنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ فَارْكَبْهَا وَ مَسَاوِي الْأَخْلَاقِ فَاجْتَنِبْهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَلَا تَلُومَنَّ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَ .

As for the Prayer, so it is of fifty Rakaat[12], and as for the Fasts, so that is for three days in the month, the Thursday in the first part of it, and the Wednesday in the middle of it, and the Thursday in the last part of it. And as for the charity, so youasws strive in it to the extent that youasws would say: ‘Iasws have been excessive’, but youasws would not have been excessive. And it is on youasws to perform the Night Prayer, and it is on youasws to perform the Noon Prayer, and it is on youasws to perform the Noon Prayer, and it is on youasws to perform the Noon Prayer.

And it is on youasws to recite the Quran in every condition. And it is on youasws to raise yourasws hands in yourasws Prayer and turn them both. And it is on youasws to brush (yourasws teeth) during every ablution. And it is on youasws to observe the most excellent morals and to abstain from evil manners, for it youasws do not do it, so youasws should not blame anyone except for yourselfasws’.

14482-  عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ [بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الطَّيَّارِ] عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ( عليهما السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) حَسَبُ الْمَرْءِ دِينُهُ وَ مُرُوءَتُهُ وَ عَقْلُهُ وَ شَرَفُهُ وَ جَمَالُهُ وَ كَرَمُهُ تَقْوَاهُ .

H 14482 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Saaleh, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira who said:

‘It has been narrated to me by Ja’far Bin Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al-Tayyaaras, from Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘The status of the man is (in accordance to) his Religion, and his chivalry, and his intellect, and his nobility, and his beauty, and his generosity, and his piety.

14483-  عَنْهُمْ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ وَ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ وَ غَالِبِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ وَ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي فُسْطَاطٍ لَهُ بِمِنًى فَنَظَرَ إِلَى زِيَادٍ الْأَسْوَدِ مُنْقَلِعَ الرِّجْلِ فَرَثَى لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا لِرِجْلَيْكَ هَكَذَا قَالَ جِئْتُ عَلَى بَكْرٍ لِي نِضْوٍ فَكُنْتُ أَمْشِي عَنْهُ عَامَّةَ الطَّرِيقِ فَرَثَى لَهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ زِيَادٌ إِنِّي أُلِمُّ بِالذُّنُوبِ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنِّي قَدْ هَلَكْتُ ذَكَرْتُ حُبَّكُمْ فَرَجَوْتُ النَّجَاةَ وَ تَجَلَّى عَنِّي

H 14483 – From him, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Ali Bin Uqba and Tha’alba Bin Maymoun and Ghalib Bin Usman and Haroun Bin Muslim, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said:

‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws in hisasws tent at Mina. Heasws looked at the feet of Ziyad which had turned black, so heasws pitied it saying: ‘What is the matter with your feet that they are like this?’ He said, ‘I came upon a weak ride and so had to walk most of the way’. Heasws lamented to him and Ziyad said to himasws during that, ‘I was in (so much) pain due to my sins to the extent that I thought that I would be destroyed. I remembered my love for youasws which gave me hope for salvation and it brightened my situation’. 

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هَلِ الدِّينُ إِلَّا الْحُبُّ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمانَ وَ زَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ قَالَ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُحِبُّ الْمُصَلِّينَ وَ لَا أُصَلِّي وَ أُحِبُّ الصَّوَّامِينَ وَ لَا أَصُومُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ لَكَ مَا اكْتَسَبْتَ وَ قَالَ مَا تَبْغُونَ وَ مَا تُرِيدُونَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَ فَزْعَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَزِعَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ إِلَى مَأْمَنِهِمْ وَ فَزِعْنَا إِلَى نَبِيِّنَا وَ فَزِعْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا .

So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And is the Religion anything except for the love? Allahazwj the High has Said: “[49:7] But Allah has endeared the Faith to you, and has made it beautiful in your hearts”, and Said: “[3:31] Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you”, and Said: “[59:9] love those who have fled to them”. A man came up to the Prophetsaww so he said, ‘O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, I love the Praying ones but I do not Pray myself, and I love the Fasting ones but I do not Fast myself’. The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘You are with the one whom you love, but to you belongs what you have acquired’. And heasws said: ‘What you are seeking and what you want, but it is if there is a scare from the sky, every people would seek protection in its safe place, and weasws will seek safety with our Prophetsaww, and you will be seeking safety with usasws’.

14484-  سَهْلٌ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ صَارَتْ فِرْقَةٌ مُرْجِئَةً وَ صَارَتْ فِرْقَةٌ حَرُورِيَّةً وَ صَارَتْ فِرْقَةٌ قَدَرِيَّةً وَ سُمِّيتُمُ التُّرَابِيَّةَ وَ شِيعَةَ عَلِيٍّ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ آلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( عليهم السلام ) وَ شِيعَةُ آلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ مَا النَّاسُ إِلَّا هُمْ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) أَفْضَلَ النَّاسِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِالنَّاسِ حَتَّى قَالَهَا ثَلَاثاً .

H 14484 – Sahl, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba and Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Saeed Bin Yasaar who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The Praise is to Allahazwj. They have become the Murjiyya sect, and the Haruriyya sect, and the Qadiriyya sect, and you have been named as the Tarabiyya and the Shiites of Aliasws. But, by Allahazwj and what is that except for that there is no god except Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and the Progenyasws of the Messenger, and the Shiites of the progenyasws of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj. And what are the people except that it was Aliasws the best of the people after the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, and the highest of the people than the people themselves’. Heasws said it three times.

14485-  عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ الْكَلْبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ تَرَكْنَا أَسْوَاقَنَا انْتِظَاراً لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ حَتَّى لَيُوشِكُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَّا أَنْ يَسْأَلَ فِي يَدِهِ فَقَالَ يَا [أَبَا] عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ أَ تَرَى مَنْ حَبَسَ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَا يَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ لَيَجْعَلَنَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عَبْداً أَحْيَا أَمْرَنَا

H 14485 – From him, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Umar Bin Abaan Al-kalby, from Abdul Hameed Al-Waasty who has said:

I said Abu Ja’farasws, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well. We have left our markets (businesses) so as to wait for this matter (Al-Qaimasws), to the extent that one of us is about to ask by his hand (beg)’.  Heasws said: ‘O Abu Abdul Hameed, Have you see that the one who confines himself to Allahazwj that Allahazwj will not Find a way out for him? Yes, Heazwj does Find a way out for him. May Allahazwj have Mercy upon the one who revives ourasws matter’.

قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُرْجِئَةَ يَقُولُونَ مَا عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نَكُونَ عَلَى الَّذِي نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءَ مَا تَقُولُونَ كُنَّا نَحْنُ وَ أَنْتُمْ سَوَاءً فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ صَدَقُوا مَنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ أَسَرَّ نِفَاقاً فَلَا يُرْغِمُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِأَنْفِهِ وَ مَنْ أَظْهَرَ أَمْرَنَا أَهْرَقَ اللَّهُ دَمَهُ يَذْبَحُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَا يَذْبَحُ الْقَصَّابُ شَاتَهُ

I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well. These Murjiites are saying that it is not for us to become as we are until there comes what youasws are saying. What we were and what you are is the same’. So heasws said: ‘O Abdul Hameed. They have spoken the truth. The one who repents, Allahazwj Accepts his repentance, and the one who keeps his hypocrisy a secret, Allahazwj does not Force him except by Rubbing his nose (gets humiliated). And the one who makes apparent ourasws matter, Allahazwj Sheds his blood. Allahazwj Gets him to be slaughtered upon Al-Islam just as the butcher slaughters his sheep’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ فَنَحْنُ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ سَوَاءٌ قَالَ لَا أَنْتُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ سَنَامُ الْأَرْضِ وَ حُكَّامُهَا لَا يَسَعُنَا فِي دِينِنَا إِلَّا ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ مِتُّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُدْرِكَ الْقَائِمَ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ إِنَّ الْقَائِلَ مِنْكُمْ إِذَا قَالَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ قَائِمَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَصَرْتُهُ كَالْمُقَارِعِ مَعَهُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَ الشَّهَادَةُ مَعَهُ شَهَادَتَانِ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I asked, ‘So, on that day we and the people would be the same?’ Heasws said: ‘No. On that day you will be at the pinnacle of the earth, and its rulers. There is no leeway in ourasws Religion except for that’. I said, ‘If I were to die before having seen Al-Qaimasws?’ Heasws said: ‘If one of you says that, ‘If I were to see Al-Qaimasws I would help himasws, is like the having struck with his sword alongside himasws, and the martyrdom with himasws are two martyrdoms’.

14486-  عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِي زَمَنِ مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتُمْ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ بَلْدَةٍ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ أَكْثَرَ مُحِبّاً لَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ لَا سِيَّمَا هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ هَدَاكُمْ لِأَمْرٍ جَهِلَهُ النَّاسُ وَ أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا وَ أَبْغَضَنَا النَّاسُ وَ اتَّبَعْتُمُونَا وَ خَالَفَنَا النَّاسُ وَ صَدَّقْتُمُونَا وَ كَذَّبَنَا النَّاسُ فَأَحْيَاكُمُ اللَّهُ مَحْيَانَا وَ أَمَاتَكُمُ [اللَّهُ] مَمَاتَنَا

H 14486 – From him, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Al-Waleed Al-Kindy who said:

‘We came up to Abu Abdullahasws during the era of Marwaan. Heasws said: ‘Who are you all?’ So we said, ‘We are from the inhabitants of Al-Kufa’. Heasws said: ‘There is no city from the cities with more people who love usasws than the inhabitants of Al-Kufa, and in particular this group. Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Mention, has Guided you to a matter which the people are ignorant of, and you love usasws whilst the people hate usasws, and you have followed us whilst the people oppose usasws, and you have ratified usasws and the people have belied usasws. So Allahazwj has Made you to live ourasws life and Made you to die ourasws deaths.

فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا بَيْنَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَرَى مَا يُقِرُّ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَيْنَهُ وَ أَنْ يَغْتَبِطَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَذِهِ وَ أَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَزْواجاً وَ ذُرِّيَّةً فَنَحْنُ ذُرِّيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ).

Iasws hereby testify for myasws father whoasws used to say: ‘There is nothing between you all and your seeing of what delights Allahazwj has Kept for your eyes and your rejoicing, except for the reaching of your soul to over here’ – and heasws gestured by hisasws hand to hisasws throat – ‘and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said in Hisazwj Book: “[13:38] And certainly We sent messengers before you and gave them wives and children”. So weasws are the children of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj’.

14487-  حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُدَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ كَلَاماً يُرْوَى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) وَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَعَرَضْتُهُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ هَذَا قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَعْرِفُهُ

H 14487 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Udeys, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Al-Sabbaah who said:

‘I heard a speech reported from the Prophetsaww and from Aliasws, and from Ibn Mas’oud. So I presented it to Abu Abdullahasws. Heasws said: ‘These are the words of the Messengersaww of Allahazwj. Iasws recognise them’.

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الشَّقِيُّ مَنْ شَقِيَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ وَ السَّعِيدُ مَنْ وُعِظَ بِغَيْرِهِ وَ أَكْيَسُ الْكِيسِ التَّقِيُّ وَ أَحْمَقُ الْحُمْقِ الْفَجُورُ وَ شَرُّ الرَّوِيِّ رَوِيُّ الْكَذِبِ وَ شَرُّ الْأُمُورِ مُحْدَثَاتُهَا وَ أَعْمَى الْعَمَى عَمَى الْقَلْبِ وَ شَرُّ النَّدَامَةِ نَدَامَةُ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ أَعْظَمُ الْخَطَايَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لِسَانُ الْكَذَّابِ وَ شَرُّ الْكَسْبِ كَسْبُ الرِّبَا وَ شَرُّ الْمَآكِلِ أَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ وَ أَحْسَنُ الزِّينَةِ زِينَةِ الرَّجُلِ هَدْيٌ حَسَنٌ مَعَ إِيمَانٍ وَ أَمْلَكُ أَمْرِهِ بِهِ وَ قِوَامُ خَوَاتِيمِهِ

The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘The wretched one is the one who is wretched in the womb of his mother, and a happy one is the one who heeds the advice given to the others. And the most intelligent one of the intelligent ones is the one who is pious, and the most stupid of the stupid ones is the immoral. The most evil of the report is the report of the lies (false report), and the most evil of the matters is the innovations. And the blindness of all blindness is the blindness of the heart, and the worst regret is the regret on the Day of Judgement.

And the greatest of the sins in the Presence of Allahazwj is the lying tongue, and the most evil of the gains is the gain of the interest. And the most evil of the consumption is the consumption of the wealth of the orphans. The best of the decors of the decors of the man is good guidance along with faith, and the controlling of his affairs by it and strengthening them.

وَ مَنْ يَتَّبِعِ السُّمْعَةَ يُسَمِّعِ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْكَذِبَةَ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّ الدُّنْيَا يَعْجِزْ عَنْهَا وَ مَنْ يَعْرِفِ الْبَلَاءَ يَصْبِرْ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْهُ يَنْكُلْ وَ الرَّيْبُ كُفْرٌ وَ مَنْ يَسْتَكْبِرْ يَضَعْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ الشَّيْطَانَ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَشْكُرْ يَزِيدُهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَصْبِرْ عَلَى الرَّزِيَّةِ يُعِنْهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَحَسْبُهُ اللَّهُ

The one who seeks fame (show-off), Allahazwj makes him to be named as a liar, and the one who loves the world will be frustrated from it. And the one who recognises the affliction would be patient against it, and the one who does not recognised it will be tortured (during it). And the doubt is disbelief, and the one who is arrogant, Allahazwj Puts him in his place. And the one who obeys Satanla disobeys Allahazwj, and the one who disobeys Allahazwj is Punished by Allahazwj. The one who is thankful, Allahazwj Increases for him, the one who is patient upon a loss is Helped by Allahazwj. The one who places reliance upon Allahazwj, Allahazwj suffices for him.

لَا تُسْخِطُوا اللَّهَ بِرِضَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ لَا تَقَرَّبُوا إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ تَتَبَاعَدُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ شَيْ‏ءٌ يُعْطِيهِ بِهِ خَيْراً وَ لَا يَدْفَعُ بِهِ عَنْهُ شَرّاً إِلَّا بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ اتِّبَاعِ مَرْضَاتِهِ وَ إِنَّ طَاعَةَ اللَّهِ نَجَاحٌ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ يُبْتَغَى وَ نَجَاةٌ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ يُتَّقَى

Do not Enrage Allahazwj by pleasing anyone from Hisazwj creatures, and do not seek nearness to anyone from the creatures who takes you far away from Allahazwj, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, there is nothing between Himazwj and anyone from Hisazwj creatures anything by which good can be acquired nor evil be repelled except by being obedient to Himazwj, and the following of Hisazwj Pleasure. And in the obedience to Allahazwj is success in every good that you want, and salvation from every evil which is feared. 

وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ يَعْصِمُ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ وَ لَا يَعْتَصِمُ بِهِ مَنْ عَصَاهُ وَ لَا يَجِدُ الْهَارِبُ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَهْرَباً وَ إِنَّ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ نَازِلٌ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْخَلَائِقُ وَ كُلُّ مَا هُوَ آتٍ قَرِيبٌ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَتَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوَى وَ لَا تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى الْإِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ شَدِيدُ الْعِقَابِ.

And that Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, Defends the one who is obedient to Himazwj and the one who is disobedient to Himazwj does not seek protection from Himazwj. And the fugitive from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will not find an escape, and that the Command of Allahazwj will Descend even though the creatures may be averse to it. And everything which is to come is near, and Whatsoever Allahazwj so Desires has happened and whatsoever Heazwj does not Desire will not happen. So help each other towards the righteousness and the piety and do not help each other towards the sins and the animosity. And fear Allahazwj for Heazwj is Severe is the Punishment’.

14488-  وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً واحِدَةً فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ قَبْلَ نُوحٍ أُمَّةَ ضَلَالٍ فَبَدَا لِلَّهِ فَبَعَثَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ لَيْسَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَ كَذَبُوا يَفْرُقُ اللَّهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ مَطَرٍ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُقَدِّرَ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ

H 14488 – and by this chain, from Abaan, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, who has said:

I  asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[2:213] Mankind were one community”, so heasws said: ‘Before the era of Noahas the people were a misguided nation. So Allahazwj Initiated by sending the Messengersas and it is not as they are saying it to be that it never ceased, and they are lying for Allahazwj Differentiated in the Night of Power (Laylat Al-Qadr) what was from the hardships, or ease, or rain in accordance with what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic so Desired until the similar like it to come (Next Laylat Al-Qadr)’.

H 14489 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Ma’rouf Bin Kharabouz, from Al-Hakam Bin Mustawrid, who has said:

Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘From among the sustenance are those which Allahazwj has Measured out for the people from what their needs are to Himazwj. The sea (atmosphere) is the one which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Created to be between the sky and the earth’.

قَالَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ قَدَّرَ فِيهَا مَجَارِيَ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَ النُّجُومِ وَ الْكَوَاكِبِ وَ قَدَّرَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ عَلَى الْفَلَكِ ثُمَّ وَكَّلَ بِالْفَلَكِ مَلَكاً وَ مَعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ فَهُمْ يُدِيرُونَ الْفَلَكَ فَإِذَا أَدَارُوهُ دَارَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ النُّجُومُ وَ الْكَوَاكِبُ مَعَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ فِي مَنَازِلِهَا الَّتِي قَدَّرَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهَا لِيَوْمِهَا وَ لَيْلَتِهَا

Heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj has Determined in these the flow of the sun and the moon, and the stars, and the planets, and has Determined all of that upon the orbit. Then for every orbit is an Angel with whom there are seventy thousand Angels. So they turn the circle of the orbit. So it is upon their turning that the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the planets turn along with them. So they descend in their station which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Determined for them. Therein are their days and their nights.

فَإِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُ الْعِبَادِ وَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَهُمْ بِآيَةٍ مِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الْمُوَكَّلَ بِالْفَلَكِ أَنْ يُزِيلَ الْفَلَكَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ مَجَارِي الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَ النُّجُومِ وَ الْكَوَاكِبِ فَيَأْمُرُ الْمَلَكُ أُولَئِكَ السَّبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ أَنْ يُزِيلُوهُ عَنْ مَجَارِيهِ

So when the sins of the servants become numerous and Allahazwj Blessed and High Intends to Reproach them with a Sign from Hisazwj Signs, Heazwj Orders the Angel in charge of the orbit to remove the orbit upon which the sun and the moon, and the stars, and the planets flow upon. So that Angel orders the seventy thousand Angels (which are under him) to remove these from their flows’. 

قَالَ فَيُزِيلُونَهُ فَتَصِيرُ الشَّمْسُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي يَجْرِي فِي الْفَلَكِ قَالَ فَيَطْمِسُ ضَوْؤُهَا وَ يَتَغَيَّرُ لَوْنُهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُعَظِّمَ الْآيَةَ طَمَسَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي الْبَحْرِ عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخَوِّفَ خَلْقَهُ بِالْآيَةِ قَالَ وَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ انْكِسَافِ الشَّمْسِ

Heasws said: ‘So they remove it and the sun becomes in that sea (atmosphere) in which flows in the orbit’. Heasws said: ‘So its light gets obliterated and its colour changes. So if Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Intends to maximise the Sign, Heazwj Obliterates the sun in the sea (atmosphere) upon what Allahazwj Loves that Hisazwj creatures should fear Hisazwj Signs’. Heasws said: ‘And that is during the eclipse of the sun’.

قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ يَفْعَلُ بِالْقَمَرِ قَالَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُجَلِّيَهَا أَوْ يَرُدَّهَا إِلَى مَجْرَاهَا أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الْمُوَكَّلَ بِالْفَلَكِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ الْفَلَكَ إِلَى مَجْرَاهُ فَيَرُدُّ الْفَلَكَ فَتَرْجِعُ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى مَجْرَاهَا قَالَ فَتَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَ هِيَ كَدِرَةٌ قَالَ وَ الْقَمَرُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ

Heasws said: ‘And that is similar to what Heazwj Does with the moon’. Heasws said: ‘So if Allahazwj Intends to End it or Return it back to normal, Heazwj Orders the Angel in charge of the orbit that he should return the orbit back to its normality. So he returns the orbit and the sun goes back to its normality’. Heasws said: ‘So he takes it out from the water (fluid) and it is brownish (dim)’. Heasws said: ‘And the (matter of) the moon is similar to that’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَفْزَعُ لَهُمَا وَ لَا يَرْهَبُ بِهَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ثُمَّ ارْجِعُوا إِلَيْهِ .

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘But rather, no one is scared of these two nor is anyone intimidated by these two Signs except the one who was from ourasws Shiites. So if (these Signs) have happened, so be scared to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, then return (Repent) to Himazwj’.

14490-  عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَلْقَى مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مِنِ اسْتِخْفَافِهِمْ بِالدِّينِ فَقَالَ يَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ لَا تُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ حُجَّةً يَحْتَجُّ بِهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا فُلَاناً فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا هَدْيَهُ فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا صَلَاتَهُ فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا دِينَهُ فَهَلَّا اقْتَدَيْتُمْ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةً عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ.

H 14490 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Al-Fazl Bin Ismail Al-Hashimy, from his father who said:

‘I complained to Abu Abdullahasws of what I had faced from my family from their taking of their Religion lightly’. So heasws said: ‘O Ismail, do not abhor that from your family, for Allahazwj Blessed and High has Made for every family a proof by which Heazwj will Argue by against his (faithless) family on the Day of Judgement.

So Heazwj will Say to them: “Did you not see so and so among you? Did you not see his guidance among you? Did you not see his Prayers among you? Did you not see his Religion? Did you not follow it? So he will become a proof against them on the Day of Judgement’.

14491-  عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثَيْمٍ النَّخَّاسِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَكُونُ فِي الْمَحَلَّةِ فَيَحْتَجُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى جِيرَانِهِ [بِهِ] فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فُلَانٌ بَيْنَكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا كَلَامَهُ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا بُكَاءَهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ .

H 14491 – From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Usaym Al-Nakhaas, from Muawiya Bin Ammaar who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘The man from among you lives in the neighbourhood. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Argue by him against his neighbours on the Day of Judgement. So Heazwj will Say: “Was not so and so among you? Did you not hear his speech? Did you not hear his wailing during the night? So he will be the Argument of Allahazwj against them’.

14492-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ طَيْراً أَبابِيلَ تَرْمِيهِمْ بِحِجارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ قَالَ كَانَ طَيْرٌ سَافٌّ جَاءَهُمْ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْبَحْرِ رُءُوسُهَا كَأَمْثَالِ رُءُوسِ السِّبَاعِ وَ أَظْفَارُهَا كَأَظْفَارِ السِّبَاعِ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ مَعَ كُلِّ طَائِرٍ ثَلَاثَةُ أَحْجَارٍ فِي رِجْلَيْهِ حَجَرَانِ وَ فِي مِنْقَارِهِ حَجَرٌ فَجَعَلَتْ تَرْمِيهِمْ بِهَا حَتَّى جُدِّرَتْ أَجْسَادُهُمْ فَقَتَلَهُمْ بِهَا وَ مَا كَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ رُئِيَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الْجُدَرِيِّ وَ لَا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الطَّيْرِ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ لَا بَعْدَهُ

H 14492 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saaleh, from Abu Maryam who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws, said, ‘I asked himasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[105:3] And send against them swarms of flying creatures [105:4] Striking them with stones of baked clay”, heasws said: ‘These were low flying birds which came upon them from the sea front. Their heads were like the heads of predatory birds, and their claws were like the claws of predatory birds. Along with each of the birds were three stones. In their legs were two stones and in their beaks was one stone each. So they went on to pelt them by these until their bodies became blistered with smallpox. So they killed them by it and there was not seen before that anything from the smallpox, nor were such birds seen before that day, nor after it’.

قَالَ وَ مَنْ أَفْلَتَ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغُوا حَضْرَمَوْتَ وَ هُوَ وَادٍ دُونَ الْيَمَنِ أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلًا فَغَرَّقَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ قَالَ وَ مَا رُئِيَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَادِي مَاءٌ قَطُّ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ بِخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ سَنَةً قَالَ فَلِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَ حَضْرَمَوْتَ حِينَ مَاتُوا فِيهِ.

Heasws said: ‘And the ones from among them who escaped on that day went until they reached Hazramaut, and it is a valley in a part of Yemen. Allahazwj Sent against them a flood. So, all of them were drowned in it’. Heasws said: ‘And no water had been seen in that valley at all for fifteen years before that’. Heasws said: ‘So that is why it has been named as Hazramaut (death arrived), for that is wherein they died’.

14493- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ وَقَعَ بَيْنَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ بَيْنَ وَلَدِ الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) كَلَامٌ فَبَلَغَنِي ذَلِكَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ لِي مَهْ لَا تَدْخُلْ فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُنَا وَ مَثَلُ بَنِي عَمِّنَا كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ لَهُ ابْنَتَانِ فَزَوَّجَ إِحْدَاهُمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ زَرَّاعٍ وَ زَوَّجَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ رَجُلٍ فَخَّارٍ

H 14493 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, form Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr and Sa’alba Bin Maymoun and Ali Bin Uqba, from Zarara, from Abdul Malik who said:

‘A discussion took place between Abu Ja’farasws and the children of Al-Hassanasws. That reached me, so I came up to Abu Ja’farasws to speak to himasws about it. Heasws said to me: ‘Shhh! Do not interfere in what is in between usasws, for ourasws example and the example of the sons of ourasws uncle is like the man who was in the Children of Israel who had two daughters. So he married one of them to a farmer and married the other one to a potter.

ثُمَّ زَارَهُمَا فَبَدَأَ بِامْرَأَةِ الزَّرَّاعِ فَقَالَ لَهَا كَيْفَ حَالُكُمْ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ زَرَعَ زَوْجِي زَرْعاً كَثِيراً فَإِنْ أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاءَ فَنَحْنُ أَحْسَنُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًا ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى امْرَأَةِ الْفَخَّارِ فَقَالَ لَهَا كَيْفَ حَالُكُمْ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ عَمِلَ زَوْجِي فَخَّاراً كَثِيراً فَإِنْ أَمْسَكَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاءَ فَنَحْنُ أَحْسَنُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًا فَانْصَرَفَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ لَهُمَا وَ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ.

Then he went to visit them both. So he first went to the wife of the farmer and said to her, ‘What is your condition?’ She said, ‘The farm of my husband is a large farm, so if Allahazwj were to send (rain from) the sky, we would be in the best condition of the Children of Israel’. Then he went to the wife of the potter, so he said to her, ‘What is your condition?’ She said, ‘My husband has worked to produce a lot of pottery, so if Allahazwj were to Withhold (the rain from) the sky, we would be in the best condition of the Children of Israel’. So he left and he was saying, ‘Our Allahazwj You are for them both’, and that is how it is with us’.

14494-  مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يُعَوِّذُ بَعْضَ وُلْدِهِ وَ يَقُولُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكِ يَا رِيحُ وَ يَا وَجَعُ كَائِناً مَا كُنْتِ بِالْعَزِيمَةِ الَّتِي عَزَمَ بِهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَى جِنِّ وَادِي الصَّبْرَةِ فَأَجَابُوا وَ أَطَاعُوا لَمَّا أَجَبْتِ وَ أَطَعْتِ وَ خَرَجْتِ عَنِ ابْنِي فُلَانٍ ابْنِ ابْنَتِي فُلَانَةَ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ.

H 14494 – Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saaleh, from Zareeh who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws seeking refuge for one of hisasws sons and heasws was saying: ‘Iasws am resolved against you, O wind, and O pain, whatever creature you are, with the determination which Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the Messengersaww of Allahazwj held against the Jinn in the valley of Al-Sabrah. So they answered, and they obeyed. You answer and obey, and go away from myasws son so and so, so of myasws daughter so and so, at this very moment, at this very moment’.

14495- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ يَتَفَقَّدْ يَفْقِدْ وَ مَنْ لَا يُعِدَّ الصَّبْرَ لِنَوَائِبِ الدَّهْرِ يَعْجِزْ وَ مَنْ قَرَضَ النَّاسَ قَرَضُوهُ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَهُمْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ قِيلَ فَأَصْنَعُ مَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَقْرِضْهُمْ مِنْ عِرْضِكَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِكَ.

H 14495 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Al-Jaroud:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The Messengersaww of Allahazwj said: ‘The one who misses (someone in his absence) is himself missed (by others), and the one who does not prepare (himself to observe) patience against the ravages of the time would be frustrated, and the one who problems the people would be troubled by them, and the one who leaves them (under troubles) alone would not be left alone by them (but troubles will be returned to him)’. It was said, ‘So what shall I do, O Messengersaww of Allahazwj?’ Hesaww said: ‘Lend them from you dignity, from the little you have and from what you need (for yourself) to (them)’.

14496-  عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ بَيْنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عِيسَى فِي دَارِهِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسْعَى يُشْرِفُ عَلَى الْمَسْعَى إِذْ رَأَى أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى  ( عليه السلام ) مُقْبِلًا مِنَ الْمَرْوَةِ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ فَأَمَرَ ابْنُ هَيَّاجٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ هَمْدَانَ مُنْقَطِعاً إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّقَ بِلِجَامِهِ وَ يَدَّعِيَ الْبَغْلَةَ فَأَتَاهُ فَتَعَلَّقَ بِاللِّجَامِ وَ ادَّعَى الْبَغْلَةَ فَثَنَى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) رِجْلَهُ فَنَزَلَ عَنْهَا وَ قَالَ لِغِلْمَانِهِ خُذُوا سَرْجَهَا وَ ادْفَعُوهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ وَ السَّرْجُ أَيْضاً لِي فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) كَذَبْتَ عِنْدَنَا الْبَيِّنَةُ بِأَنَّهُ سَرْجُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ أَمَّا الْبَغْلَةُ فَإِنَّا اشْتَرَيْنَاهَا مُنْذُ قَرِيبٍ وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ وَ مَا قُلْتَ.

H 14496 – From him, from Ahmad, from Al-Barqy, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hammaad Bin usmaan who said:

‘Musa Bin Isa was in his house which was in the place of Sa’ee (nearby the Kaaba), overlooking it when he saw Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws coming from Al-Marwa upon hisasws mule. So he ordered Ibn Hayyaaj, a man from Hamdaan who was very close to himasws to go and hold on to the reins and make a claim for the mule. So he came up to himasws, held on to the reins, and staked a claim for the mule. Abu Al-Hassanasws took hisasws feet off and dismounted from it and said to hisasws servant: ‘Take the saddle and hand (the mule) over to him’. He said, ‘And the saddle is mine as well’. So Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘You are lying, for weasws have clear proof that it is the saddle of Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, and as for the mule, so weasws have bought it not so long ago and you know it, and what you are saying’.

14497-  عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) حَيْثُ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورِ مِنَ الْحِيرَةِ فَخَرَجَ سَاعَةَ أُذِنَ لَهُ وَ انْتَهَى إِلَى السَّالِحِينَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ فَعَرَضَ لَهُ عَاشِرٌ كَانَ يَكُونُ فِي السَّالِحِينَ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَا أَدَعُكَ أَنْ تَجُوزَ فَأَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ طَلَبَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَبَى إِبَاءً

H 14497 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Murazim, from his father who said:

‘We went out with Abu Abdullahasws when heasws left from the presence of Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour from Al-Hira. So heasws left at the time permitted for himasws and ended up at Al-Saliheen in the beginning of the night. A tax collector presented himself to himasws who was in Al-Saliheen in the beginning of the night. He said to himasws, ‘I will not permit youasws to leave’. So heasws urged him and requested him, but he refused, rejecting it.

وَ أَنَا وَ مُصَادِفٌ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُصَادِفٌ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّمَا هَذَا كَلْبٌ قَدْ آذَاكَ وَ أَخَافُ أَنْ يَرُدَّكَ وَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ أَمْرِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَنَا وَ مُرَازِمٌ أَ تَأْذَنُ لَنَا أَنْ نَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ ثُمَّ نَطْرَحَهُ فِي النَّهَرِ فَقَالَ كُفَّ يَا مُصَادِفُ

And I and Musaddaf were with himasws. So Musaddaf said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, but this one is a dog. He has troubled you, and I fear that he would make youasws return, and I do not know what would be the order of Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour). If youasws permit us, I and Murazim can strike his neck, then throw him (his body) in the river’. Heasws said: ‘Restrain yourself, O Musaddaf’.

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ أَكْثَرُهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَمَضَى فَقَالَ يَا مُرَازِمُ هَذَا خَيْرٌ أَمِ الَّذِي قُلْتُمَاهُ قُلْتُ هَذَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الذُّلِّ الصَّغِيرِ فَيُدْخِلُهُ ذَلِكَ فِي الذُّلِّ الْكَبِيرِ.

So heasws did not stop requesting him until most of the night had passed, and he permitted himasws to pass. Heasws said: ‘O Murazim, is this better or that which you had said?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, this (is better)’. So heasws said: ‘The man comes out of the smaller humiliation, but that pushes him enter into the greater humiliation’.

So heasws sat near to his head and caressed it (and waited) until he woke up. So when he was awake, Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘O so and so, by Allahazwj, that is not for you. The night is for you to sleep in and the day from you is for usasws’.

H 14499 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Hassaan, from Abu Ali who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Do not mention ourasws secrets opposite to what weasws say publicly, and do not publicise usasws opposite to ourasws secrets. It suffices for you all that you should say what weasws say, and remain silent about what we have observed silence on. You have seen that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic have never Kept any good for anyone from the people in opposition to usasws. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says: “[24:63] therefore let those beware who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befalls upon them a painful chastisement.”

So Heazwj Took a (group of) particles to the Paradise, and a (group of) particles to the Fire’.

H 14505 – One of our companions, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Al-Hassan Bin Abdul Rahman, who has narrated:

Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘The dreams did not exist in the past in the beginning of the creation, but rather they occurred later on’. I said, ‘And what is the reason with regards to that?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Sent a Rasoolas to the people of hisas era. So heas called them to the worship of Allahazwj and to Hisazwj obedience’. They said, ‘If we were to do that, so what is in it for us, for by Allahazwj, youas are no more wealthier than we are, nor is youras family stronger than ours’.

Heas said: ‘If you were all to obey meas, Allahazwj will Make you to enter the Paradise, and if you were to disobey meas, Allahazwj will Make you to enter the Fire’. So they said, ‘And what is the Paradise and the Fire?’ So heas described that for them. So they said, ‘When do we go to that?’ So heas said: ‘When you die’. So they said, ‘But we have seen our dead becoming bones and dust’. So they increased in their denial and contempt of it’.

فَأَحْدَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِمُ الْأَحْلَامَ فَأَتَوْهُ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ بِمَا رَأَوْا وَ مَا أَنْكَرُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَحْتَجَّ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا هَكَذَا تَكُونُ أَرْوَاحُكُمْ إِذَا مِتُّمْ وَ إِنْ بُلِيَتْ أَبْدَانُكُمْ تَصِيرُ الْأَرْوَاحُ إِلَى عِقَابٍ حَتَّى تُبْعَثَ الْأَبْدَانُ.

So Allahazwj Enabled them to experience dreams. So these came to them, and they got informed by what they saw, and what they had denied from that. So heas said: ‘Allahazwj Intended to Argue against you by this. This is how your spirits are. When you all die, and your bodies decay, your spirits will go toward Punishment until such time that the bodies are resurrected’.

H 14507 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muammar Bin Khallaad, who has narrated the following:

Al-Rezaasws has said that the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj used to say to hissaww companions in the morning: ‘Is there anything from the good news?’, meaning by it, the dreams’.

H 14508 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Abu Jameela, from Jabir, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has reported that a man asked the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[10:64] They shall have good news in this world's life”, hesaww said: ‘This is the good dream which the Believer sees, so he receives good news by it in this world’.

14509- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ وُجُوهٍ بِشَارَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ وَ تَحْذِيرٍ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ أَضْغَاثِ أَحْلَامٍ.

H 14509 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Sa’d Bin Abu Khalaf, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the dreams are of three aspects - Good News from Allahazwj for the Believer, and a caution against the Satanla, and confused dreams’.

H 14510 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Dorost Bin Abu Mansour, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, the true and the false dreams both come from one place’ Heasws said: ‘You have spoken the truth, but the false dreams are different for the man sees is in the first (part) of the night during the domination of the sinful rebels, and it is an imaginary thing to the man, and it is false and contradictory. There is nothing good in it. And as for the true (dream) it is if he saw it after the (passing) of the two thirds of the night with the advent of the Angels, and that is before the dawn. So this is the true (dream), it will not be contradicted, Allahazwj Willing, except if he was in a state of being in requirement of Major ablution (Junuub), or he has slept without being clean, and he did not Mention Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic with true Remembrance, for then it would vary and be delayed to its dreamer’.

H 14511 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ab and Hashaam Bin Saalim, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the four types of winds – the North, the South, Al-Saba and Al-Dabour, and I said that the people are mentioning that the North (wind) is from the Paradise, and the South (wind) is from the Fire’. So heasws said: ‘Allahazwj has armies of winds by which Heazwj Punishes whomsoever that Heazwj so Wishes to from the ones who disobey Himazwj, and from every wind from these is an Angel allocated to it. So if Allahazwj Intends to Punish a people by some kind of torment, Heazwj Reveals to the Angel in charge of that particular type of the winds by which Heazwj Intends to Punish them by. So the Angel orders it and it get excited like a lion gets excited when bothered’.

قَالَ وَ لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ مِنْهُنَّ اسْمٌ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى كَذَّبَتْ عادٌ فَكَيْفَ كانَ عَذابِي وَ نُذُرِ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنا عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً صَرْصَراً فِي يَوْمِ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ وَ قَالَ الرِّيحَ الْعَقِيمَ وَ قَالَ رِيحٌ فِيها عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ وَ قَالَ فَأَصابَها إِعْصارٌ فِيهِ نارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ وَ مَا ذُكِرَ مِنَ الرِّيَاحِ الَّتِي يُعَذِّبُ اللَّهُ بِهَا مَنْ عَصَاهُ

Heasws said: ‘And for every wind from these is a name. Have you not heard the Words of the Highazwj: “[54:19] For We sent against them a furious wind (Sarsara), on a Day of violent Disaster”, and Said: “[51:41] When We sent upon them the destructive wind (Al-Aqeem)”, and Said: “[46:24] a blast of wind in which is a painful punishment,”, and Said: “[2:266] that it should be caught in a whirlwind, with fire therein, and be burnt up”. And (others) from winds which have not been Mentioned by which Allahazwj Punishes the ones who disobey Himazwj’.

قَالَ وَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ رِيَاحُ رَحْمَةٍ لَوَاقِحُ وَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ يَنْشُرُهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ مِنْهَا مَا يُهَيِّجُ السَّحَابَ لِلْمَطَرِ وَ مِنْهَا رِيَاحٌ تَحْبِسُ السَّحَابَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ رِيَاحٌ تَعْصِرُ السَّحَابَ فَتَمْطُرُهُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْهَا رِيَاحٌ مِمَّا عَدَّدَ اللَّهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ

Heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj mention has winds of Mercy which occur, and others besides that which Heazwj Displays Hisazwj Mercy. From these is that which incites clouds for the rain, and from these is a wind which holds up the clouds in between the sky and the earth, and the winds which squeeze the clouds so they make rain by the Permission of Allahazwj, and from these are winds which Allahazwj has Counted in Hisazwj Book.

فَأَمَّا الرِّيَاحُ الْأَرْبَعُ الشَّمَالُ وَ الْجَنُوبُ وَ الصَّبَا وَ الدَّبُورُ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُهِبَّ شَمَالًا أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الشَّمَالُ فَيَهْبِطُ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَامَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الشَّامِيِّ فَضَرَبَ بِجَنَاحِهِ فَتَفَرَّقَتْ رِيحُ الشَّمَالِ حَيْثُ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ

As for the four winds – the North, and the South, and Al-Saba, and Al-Dabour, so these are the names of the Angels who have been allocated to these. So if Allahazwj Intends the North wind to blow, Heazwj Commands the Angel whose name is the North (Al-Shimaal), so he descends upon the Sacred House (Al-Bayt Al-Haram), stands upon the Al-Shamy corner of it and flaps his wings. So the North wind disperses in the land and the sea wherever Allahazwj Desires it to.

وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ جَنُوباً أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الْجَنُوبُ فَهَبَطَ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَامَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الشَّامِيِّ فَضَرَبَ بِجَنَاحِهِ فَتَفَرَّقَتْ رِيحُ الْجَنُوبِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ حَيْثُ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ

And if Allahazwj Intends to Send the South winds, Heazwj Commands the Angel whose name is the South (Al-Junoub), so he descends upon the Sacred House (Al-Bayt Al-Haram), stands upon the Al-Shamy corner of it and flaps his wings. So the South wind disperses in the land and the sea wherever Allahazwj Desires it to.

وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ رِيحَ الصَّبَا أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الصَّبَا فَهَبَطَ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَامَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الشَّامِيِّ فَضَرَبَ بِجَنَاحِهِ فَتَفَرَّقَتْ رِيحُ الصَّبَا حَيْثُ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ

And if Allahazwj Intends to Send Al-Saba wind, Heazwj Commands the Angel whose name is Al-Saba, so he descends upon the Sacred House, stands upon the Al-Shamy corner of it and flaps his wings. So the Al-Saba wind disperses in the land and the sea wherever Allahazwj Desires it to.

وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ دَبُوراً أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي اسْمُهُ الدَّبُورُ فَهَبَطَ عَلَى الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ فَقَامَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الشَّامِيِّ فَضَرَبَ بِجَنَاحِهِ فَتَفَرَّقَتْ رِيحُ الدَّبُورِ حَيْثُ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ

And if Allahazwj Intends to Send Daboura, Heazwj Commands the Angel whose name is Al-Dabour, so he descends upon the Sacred House, stands upon the Al-Shamy corner of it and flaps his wings. So Al-Dabour wind disperses in the land and the sea wherever Allahazwj Desires it to’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِهِ رِيحُ الشَّمَالِ وَ رِيحُ الْجَنُوبِ وَ رِيحُ الدَّبُورِ وَ رِيحُ الصَّبَا إِنَّمَا تُضَافُ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِهَا.

Then Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘As for your hearing their words – the North wind, and the South wind, and Al-Dabour wind, and Al-Saba wind, but rather these are the Angels who have been entrusted with these.

14512- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مَعْرُوفِ بْنِ خَرَّبُوذَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رِيَاحَ رَحْمَةٍ وَ رِيَاحَ عَذَابٍ فَإِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ الْعَذَابَ مِنَ الرِّيَاحِ رَحْمَةً فَعَلَ قَالَ وَ لَنْ يَجْعَلَ الرَّحْمَةَ مِنَ الرِّيحِ عَذَاباً قَالَ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ قَوْماً قَطُّ أَطَاعُوهُ وَ كَانَتْ طَاعَتُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ وَبَالًا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ تَحَوُّلِهِمْ عَنْ طَاعَتِهِ

H 14512 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Ma’rouf Bin Kharbouz, who said:

Abu Ja’farasws said that ‘Allahazwj has winds of Mercy as well as winds of Punishment. So if Allahazwj Desires that Heazwj Turns the winds of Punishment into the winds of Mercy, Heazwj Does it, but Heazwj never Makes (winds of ) Mercy to be turned into the wind of Punishment’.

Heasws said: ‘And it is never the case that Heazwj is Merciful to all people who obey Himazwj and that their obedience should become an affliction for them, except after theirs having turned from their obedience.

قَالَ كَذَلِكَ فَعَلَ بِقَوْمِ يُونُسَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ مَا كَانَ قَدَّرَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْعَذَابَ وَ قَضَاهُ ثُمَّ تَدَارَكَهُمْ بِرَحْمَتِهِ فَجَعَلَ الْعَذَابَ الْمُقَدَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَحْمَةً فَصَرَفَهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ غَشِيَهُمْ وَ ذَلِكَ لَمَّا آمَنُوا بِهِ وَ تَضَرَّعُوا إِلَيْهِ

Heasws said: ‘That is how Heazwj Acted with the people of Yunusas. When they believed, Allahazwj Bestowed mercy upon them after having had Ordained for them the Punishment. Heazwj had Decided, then Enclosed them with Hisazwj Mercy. So Heazwj Made the Punishment that was pre-destined for them as a Mercy.  Heazwj Turned it away from them and it had already descended upon them and overwhelmed them, but they pleaded before Himazwj’.

قَالَ وَ أَمَّا الرِّيحُ الْعَقِيمُ فَإِنَّهَا رِيحُ عَذَابٍ لَا تُلْقِحُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْأَرْحَامِ وَ لَا شَيْئاً مِنَ النَّبَاتِ وَ هِيَ رِيحٌ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا خَرَجَتْ مِنْهَا رِيحٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا عَلَى قَوْمِ عَادٍ حِينَ غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَمَرَ الْخُزَّانَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوا مِنْهَا عَلَى مِقْدَارِ سَعَةِ الْخَاتَمِ

Heasws said: ‘And as for the wind of the destruction (Al-Aqeem), so it is a wind of Punishment. Neither, does it inseminate anything from the wombs or anything from the seeds, and it is a wind which comes out from the underneath the seven earths, and not a (single) wind came out from it at all except upon the people of Aad when Allahazwj was Wrathful against them. So Heazwj Commanded the Keepers to take from it a measure of the size of a ring’.

قَالَ فَعَتَتْ عَلَى الْخُزَّانِ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا عَلَى مِقْدَارِ مَنْخِرِ الثَّوْرِ تَغَيُّظاً مِنْهَا عَلَى قَوْمِ عَادٍ قَالَ فَضَجَّ الْخُزَّانُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا إِنَّهَا قَدْ عَتَتْ عَنْ أَمْرِنَا إِنَّا نَخَافُ أَنْ تُهْلِكَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْصِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عُمَّارِ بِلَادِكَ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهَا جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا بِجَنَاحَيْهِ فَرَدَّهَا إِلَى مَوْضِعِهَا وَ قَالَ لَهَا اخْرُجِي عَلَى مَا أُمِرْتِ بِهِ قَالَ فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَى مَا أُمِرَتْ بِهِ وَ أَهْلَكَتْ قَوْمَ عَادٍ وَ مَنْ كَانَ بِحَضْرَتِهِمْ .

Heasws said: ‘It rebelled against the Keepers, so there came out from it a measure of the nostril of a bull being wrathful against the people of Aad’. Heasws said: ‘So the Keepers grumbled to Allahazwj from that. They said, ‘Our Lordazwj! It has rebelled against our orders. We are afraid that it would destroy the ones who have not been disobedient to Youazwj from Yourazwj creatures who built Yourazwj City’.

Heasws said: ‘So Allahazwj Sent Jibraeel towards it who faced it with both his wings and returned it back to its place and said to it: ‘Come out of the ones whom you have not been Commanded for’. Heasws said: ‘So it came out from the ones against whom it had not been Commanded for, and destroyed the people of Aad and those who were present with them (their supporters)’.

14513- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَنْ ظَهَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ النِّعْمَةُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَتْ هُمُومُهُ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ وَ مَنْ أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ الْفَقْرُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ يَنْفِي عَنْهُ الْفَقْرَ

H 14513 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nawfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said; ‘For whom the Blessings appear should frequently mention ‘الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ’ ‘Praise be to Allahazwj’, and the one who has numerous worries so for him is ‘بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ’ to seek Forgiveness, and the one who is pressed by the poverty should frequently say ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ’ ‘There is no Power and no Might except by Allahazwj the High the Magnificent, the poverty would be negated from him’.

وَ قَالَ فَقَدَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ مَا غَيَّبَكَ عَنَّا فَقَالَ الْفَقْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ طُولُ السُّقْمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلَاماً إِذَا قُلْتَهُ ذَهَبَ عَنْكَ الْفَقْرُ وَ السُّقْمُ فَقَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

And heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww missed a man from the Helpers so hesaww said to him: ‘What is the reason for your absence?’ He said, ‘The poverty, O Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, and the lengthy illness’. So hesaww said to him: ‘Shall Isaww teach you certain words, if you were to recite these, the poverty would go away from you, as well as the illness?’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasoolsaww Allahazwj’.

فَقَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَ أَمْسَيْتَ فَقُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ [الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ] تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا قُلْتُهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عَنِّي الْفَقْرُ وَ السُّقْمُ.

So hesaww said: ‘When it is the morning and evening, say:

لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ [الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ] تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا قُلْتُهُ

‘There is no Power and no Might except by Allahazwj, the High, the Magnificent. I hereby rely upon the Alive Who does not die, and Praise be to Allahazwj Who never Took for Himselfazwj a son, and there never was for Himazwj an associate in the Kingdom, and will not be for Himazwj a guardian from the humiliation, and Great is Hisazwj Greatness’.

So the man said, ‘By Allahazwj, I had not recited it except for three days, and the poverty and the illness went away from me’.

14514-  مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْخَالِقِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ أَتَيْتَ الْبَصْرَةَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ مُسَارَعَةَ النَّاسِ إِلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَ دُخُولَهُمْ فِيهِ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَقَلِيلٌ وَ لَقَدْ فَعَلُوا وَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَقَلِيلٌ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالْأَحْدَاثِ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَسْرَعُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَيْرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا يَقُولُ أَهْلُ الْبَصْرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا لِأَقَارِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ كَذَبُوا إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ فِينَا خَاصَّةً فِي أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ فِي عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ أَصْحَابِ الْكِسَاءِ (عليهم السلام).

H 14514 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Ismail Bin Abd Al-Khaliq who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying to Abu Ja’far Al-Ahwal, and I was listening: ‘Did you go to Al-Basra?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘How did you see the hastening of the people to this matter and their entering in it to be?’ He said, ‘By Allahazwj, they are few, and they have done it but that is little’. Heasws said: ‘It is on you to (approach) the juveniles for they are quick to every good’. Then heasws said: ‘What are the people of Al-Basra saying regarding this Verse: ‘[42:23] Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives”. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, they are saying that it is for the near relatives of the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’. Heasws said: ‘They lie. But rather it Descended with regards to usasws especially, regarding the Peopleasws of the Household, regarding Aliasws, and Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws the ones of the Cloak (As’haab Al-Kisaa)’.

حَدِيثُ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ

HADEETH OF THE PEOPLE OF SYRIA (AL-SHAAM)

14515-  عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ مِنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ قَدْ أَعْيَتْ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَجِدَ أَحَداً يُفَسِّرُهَا وَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَصْنَافٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ صِنْفٍ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئاً غَيْرَ الَّذِي قَالَ الصِّنْفُ الْآخَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مَا ذَاكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَوَّلِ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَإِنَّ بَعْضَ مَنْ سَأَلْتُهُ قَالَ الْقَدَرُ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ الْقَلَمُ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمُ الرُّوحُ

H 14515 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Dawood from Muhammad Bin Atiyya who said:

‘A man from the scholars of the people of Syria (Al-Shaam) came up to Abu Ja’farasws. He said, ‘O Abu Ja’farasws, I have come to ask youasws a question which has exhausted me in finding one who could explain it to me, and I have asked three kinds of the people about it, so each type from them said something other than what the other one said’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘What would that be?’ He said, ‘I ask youasws about the first thing what Allahazwj Created from Hisazwj creatures, for some of the ones I asked said it was the Destiny, and some of them said it was the Pen, and some of them said it was the Spirit’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مَا قَالُوا شَيْئاً أُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَانَ وَ لَا شَيْ‏ءَ غَيْرَهُ وَ كَانَ عَزِيزاً وَ لَا أَحَدَ كَانَ قَبْلَ عِزِّهِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ كَانَ الْخَالِقُ قَبْلَ الْمَخْلُوقِ وَ لَوْ كَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا خَلَقَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ الشَّيْ‏ءَ مِنَ الشَّيْ‏ءِ إِذاً لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ انْقِطَاعٌ أَبَداً وَ لَمْ يَزَلِ اللَّهُ إِذاً وَ مَعَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ لَيْسَ هُوَ يَتَقَدَّمُهُ وَ لَكِنَّهُ كَانَ إِذْ لَا شَيْ‏ءَ غَيْرَهُ

So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘They have not said anything. Iasws hereby inform you that Allahazwj Blessed and High Existed and there was nothing other than Himazwj, and Heazwj was Mighty and there was no one who was mighty before Himazwj, and that is Hisazwj Statement: “[37:180] Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honour, above what they describe”, and Heazwj was the Creator before the creation, and had Heazwj Created, and Had Heazwj Created something from Hisazwj Creation, something from something, then there would be no cut-off from it (the chain) ever, and it would never cease if Allahazwj had something with Himazwj and Heazwj did not precede it, but Heazwj Existed when there was nothing other than Himazwj.

وَ خَلَقَ الشَّيْ‏ءَ الَّذِي جَمِيعُ الْأَشْيَاءِ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ الْمَاءُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَشْيَاءَ مِنْهُ فَجَعَلَ نَسَبَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَى الْمَاءِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لِلْمَاءِ نَسَباً يُضَافُ إِلَيْهِ وَ خَلَقَ الرِّيحَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ سَلَّطَ الرِّيحَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ فَشَقَّقَتِ الرِّيحُ مَتْنَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى ثَارَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ زَبَدٌ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَثُورَ فَخَلَقَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الزَّبَدِ أَرْضاً بَيْضَاءَ نَقِيَّةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا صَدْعٌ وَ لَا ثَقْبٌ وَ لَا صُعُودٌ وَ لَا هُبُوطٌ وَ لَا شَجَرَةٌ ثُمَّ طَوَاهَا فَوَضَعَهَا فَوْقَ الْمَاءِ

And Heazwj Created the thing from which are all things, and it is the water from which Heazwj Created the things. So Heazwj Lineage everything to the water and did not Make a lineage for the water to which it can be ascribed. And Heazwj Created the wind from the water, then Made the wind to overcome the water. So the wind sent down into the body of the water until foam swirled from the water in accordance with what Heazwj so Desired it to swirl. So Heazwj Created from that foam, pure white land with no crack in it, nor any holes, neither ascending nor descending, and no tree. Then Heazwj Folded it, so Heazwj Placed it on top of the water.

ثُمَّ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ النَّارَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَشَقَّقَتِ النَّارُ مَتْنَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى ثَارَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ دُخَانٌ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَثُورَ فَخَلَقَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الدُّخَانِ سَمَاءً صَافِيَةً نَقِيَّةً لَيْسَ فِيهَا صَدْعٌ وَ لَا ثَقْبٌ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ السَّماءُ بَناها رَفَعَ سَمْكَها فَسَوَّاها وَ أَغْطَشَ لَيْلَها وَ أَخْرَجَ ضُحاها قَالَ وَ لَا شَمْسٌ وَ لَا قَمَرٌ وَ لَا نُجُومٌ وَ لَا سَحَابٌ ثُمَّ طَوَاهَا فَوَضَعَهَا فَوْقَ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ نَسَبَ الْخَلِيقَتَيْنِ فَرَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ قَبْلَ الْأَرْضِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ دَحاها يَقُولُ بَسَطَهَا

Then Allahazwj Created the fire from the water, so the fire bust out of the body of the water until smoke arose from the water in accordance with Allahazwj so Desired it to rise. So Heazwj Created from that smoke, clear and pure sky in which there were no cracks nor any holes, and that is Hisazwj Statement: “[79:27] Are you the harder to create or the heaven? He made it. [79:28] He raised high its height, then put it into a right good state. [79:29] And He made dark its night and brought out its light”. Heasws said: ‘And there was no sun, and no moon, and no stars and no clouds. Then Heazwj Folded it and Placed it upon the earth, then Established two creations. Then Heazwj Raised the sky before the earth, so that is Hisazwj Statement, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention: “[79:30] And the earth, He expanded it after that”. Heazwj Said that Heazwj Spread it out’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الشَّامِيُّ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَ وَ لَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ كانَتا رَتْقاً فَفَتَقْناهُما فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَلَعَلَّكَ تَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُمَا كَانَتَا رَتْقاً مُلْتَزِقَتَيْنِ مُلْتَصِقَتَيْنِ فَفُتِقَتْ إِحْدَاهُمَا مِنَ الْأُخْرَى فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) اسْتَغْفِرْ رَبَّكَ فَإِنَّ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ كانَتا رَتْقاً يَقُولُ كَانَتِ السَّمَاءُ رَتْقاً لَا تُنْزِلُ الْمَطَرَ وَ كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ رَتْقاً لَا تُنْبِتُ الْحَبَّ فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الْخَلْقَ وَ بَثَّ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ فَتَقَ السَّمَاءَ بِالْمَطَرِ وَ الْأَرْضَ بِنَبَاتِ الْحَبِّ فَقَالَ الشَّامِيُّ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أَنَّ عِلْمَكَ عِلْمُهُمْ.

So the Syrian said to himasws, ‘O Abu Ja’farasws, the Statement of Allahazwj the High: “[21:30] Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them”. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Perhaps you think that these two used to be stuck together and there were separated from each other?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Seek Forgiveness from your Lordazwj, for it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that they were closed up, meaning that the sky used to be closed up and no rain descended from it, and the earth was closed up and did not grow any seed (vegetation). So when Allahazwj Blessed and High Created the creatures, Heazwj Spread therein all kinds of animals. Heazwj Opened up the sky by the rain and the earth by the seed’. The Syrian said, ‘I testify that youasws are from the children of the Prophetsas and that yourasws knowledge is theiras knowledge’.

H 14516 – Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al-A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Al-Hajjaal, from Al-A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

Abu Ja’farasws said to me: ‘Everything used to be water, and Hisazwj Throne used to be on the water. So Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Mention Commanded the water, so a fire was ignited. Then Heazwj Commanded the fire, so it was extinguished and smoke arose from its subsidence. So Allahazwj Created the Heavens from that smoke, and Created the earth from the ash. Then the water, and the fire, and the wind quarrelled. So the water said, ‘I am the greatest army of Allahazwj’, and the wind said, ‘I am the greatest army of Allahazwj, and the fire said, ‘I am the greatest army of Allahazwj. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto the wind: “You are Myazwj greatest army’.

H 14517 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq Al-Madany, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said that: ‘The Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj was asked about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[19:85] The day We shall gather the righteous to (Allah) Most Gracious, like a band presented before a king for honours”, so hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Surely the delegation will not come up except on rides. These will be the men who feared Allahazwj, so Allahazwj Loved them and Specialised them and being Pleased with their deeds and therefore they have been named as the pious ones’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِيُّ أَمَا وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَسْتَقْبِلُهُمْ بِنُوقٍ مِنْ نُوقِ الْعِزِّ عَلَيْهَا رَحَائِلُ الذَّهَبِ مُكَلَّلَةً بِالدُّرِّ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ وَ جَلَائِلُهَا الْإِسْتَبْرَقُ وَ السُّنْدُسُ وَ خُطُمُهَا جَدْلُ الْأُرْجُوَانِ تَطِيرُ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَحْشَرِ مَعَ كُلِّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ أَلْفُ مَلَكٍ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ يَزُفُّونَهُمْ زَفّاً حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا بِهِمْ إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الْأَعْظَمِ وَ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ شَجَرَةٌ إِنَّ الْوَرَقَةَ مِنْهَا لَيَسْتَظِلُّ تَحْتَهَا أَلْفُ رَجُلٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الشَّجَرَةِ عَيْنٌ مُطَهِّرَةٌ مُزَكِّيَةٌ قَالَ فَيُسْقَوْنَ مِنْهَا شَرْبَةً فَيُطَهِّرُ اللَّهُ بِهَا قُلُوبَهُمْ مِنَ الْحَسَدِ وَ يُسْقِطُ مِنْ أَبْشَارِهِمُ الشَّعْرَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَقاهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ شَراباً طَهُوراً مِنْ تِلْكَ الْعَيْنِ الْمُطَهِّرَةِ

Then hesaww said to himasws: ‘O Aliasws! By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and Brought life out of it, they will be coming out from their graves and the Angels will be welcoming them by a she-camel from the she-camels of honour on which will be saddles of gold crowned with pearls and sapphire, and it will be covered in brocade and silk, and its braid will be purple, and it will fly with them to the place of Resurrection.

Along with every man from them will be a thousand Angels in front of them, and on his right, and on his left escorting them with an (honourable) escort until they will end up with them to the Great Door of the Paradise. And at the Door (Entrance) of the Paradise is a tree, a leaf from it can give shade to a thousand men from the people under it. And on the right of the tree is a fountain pure and clear’. Hesaww said: ‘They will quench themselves with a drink from it, so Allahazwj will Purify their hearts by it from the ‘الْحَسَدِ’ (jealousy/envy), and their bodily hair will drop off, and that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[76:21] and their Lord shall make them drink a pure drink”. It will be from that pure fountain’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُونَ إِلَى عَيْنٍ أُخْرَى عَنْ يَسَارِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَيَغْتَسِلُونَ فِيهَا وَ هِيَ عَيْنُ الْحَيَاةِ فَلَا يَمُوتُونَ أَبَداً قَالَ ثُمَّ يُوقَفُ بِهِمْ قُدَّامَ الْعَرْشِ وَ قَدْ سَلِمُوا مِنَ الْآفَاتِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ الْحَرِّ وَ الْبَرْدِ أَبَداً قَالَ فَيَقُولُ الْجَبَّارُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُمْ احْشُرُوا أَوْلِيَائِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَا تُوقِفُوهُمْ مَعَ الْخَلَائِقِ فَقَدْ سَبَقَ رِضَايَ عَنْهُمْ وَ وَجَبَتْ رَحْمَتِي لَهُمْ وَ كَيْفَ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُوقِفَهُمْ مَعَ أَصْحَابِ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ السَّيِّئَاتِ

Hesaww said: ‘Then they will leave to go to another Fountain on the right of the Tree. So they will bathe in it, and it is the Fountain of (everlasting) Life, and so they will not be dying ever’. Hesaww said: ‘Then they (the she-camels) will pause by them in front of the Throne, and they would have been made safe from the diseases and the illnesses and the heat and the cold for all eternity’.

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Then the ‘الْجَبَّارُ’ (Compellerazwj) Majestic, Who cannot be Described (by any means), will Say to the Angels who will be with them: “Usher Myazwj friends to the Paradise and do not pause them with the creatures from Iazwj am already Pleased with them and Myazwj Mercy has been Obligated for them, and how can Iazwj Want them to be paused, the companions of the good with that of the evil?’

قَالَ فَتَسُوقُهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا انْتَهَوْا بِهِمْ إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الْأَعْظَمِ ضَرَبَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْحَلْقَةَ ضَرْبَةً فَتَصِرُّ صَرِيراً يَبْلُغُ صَوْتُ صَرِيرِهَا كُلَّ حَوْرَاءَ أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ فِي الْجِنَانِ فَيَتَبَاشَرْنَ بِهِمْ إِذَا سَمِعْنَ صَرِيرَ الْحَلْقَةِ فَيَقُولُ بَعْضُهُنَّ لِبَعْضٍ قَدْ جَاءَنَا أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُمُ الْبَابُ فَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ تُشْرِفُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَزْوَاجُهُمْ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَ الْآدَمِيِّينَ فَيَقُلْنَ مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ فَمَا كَانَ أَشَدَّ شَوْقَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُنَّ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

Hesaww said: ‘The Angels will lead them to the Paradise. So when they end up with them at the Great Entrance of the Paradise the Angels will knock hard on the door. Its pleasant sound will reach every Hourie whom Allahazwj has Prepared for Hisazwj friends in the Gardens. They (Houries) will give them the good news of it when they hear the pleasant sound of the ring (door bell), so some of them will say to the others, ‘The friends of Allahazwj have come to us, so open the Door for them’. They will enter the Paradise and their respective wives from the beautiful Houries and the humans will welcome them by saying, ‘Congratulations to you for we have been intensely eager in our desire to be with you’, and the friends of Allahazwj will say to them similarly’.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ غُرَفٌ مِنْ فَوْقِها غُرَفٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌ بِمَا ذَا بُنِيَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ تِلْكَ غُرَفٌ بَنَاهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ بِالدُّرِّ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ وَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ سُقُوفُهَا الذَّهَبُ مَحْبُوكَةٌ بِالْفِضَّةِ لِكُلِّ غُرْفَةٍ مِنْهَا أَلْفُ بَابٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهِ فِيهَا فُرُشٌ مَرْفُوعَةٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ وَ الدِّيبَاجِ بِأَلْوَانٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ وَ حَشْوُهَا الْمِسْكُ وَ الْكَافُورُ وَ الْعَنْبَرُ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ فُرُشٍ مَرْفُوعَةٍ إِذَا أُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنُ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ وُضِعَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجُ الْمُلْكِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ أُلْبِسَ حُلَلَ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ وَ الدُّرِّ الْمَنْظُومِ فِي الْإِكْلِيلِ تَحْتَ التَّاجِ

Aliasws said: ‘O Rasoolsaww Allahazwj! Inform us about the Statement of Allahazwj; “[39:20] But it is for those who fear their Lord. That lofty mansions, one above another, have been built”, O Rasoolsaww Allahazwj’. So hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Those are mansions which Allahazwj has Built for Hisazwj friends from the pearls, and the sapphire, and the emeralds, and their ceilings are of gold interwoven with silver. For each of the mansions are a thousand doors of gold upon each of which is an Angel allocated to it. In them are raised couches, one on top of the other from the silk, and the brocades of different colours, and their filling is of musk, and the camphor and ambergris, and that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[56:34] And raised couches”. When the Believer enters his house in the Paradise, a crown of kingship and prestige would be placed upon his head, and he will be dressed in the clothes of gold, and silver, and the rubies, and the crystals arranged in designs as a wreath under the crown’.

قَالَ وَ أُلْبِسَ سَبْعِينَ حُلَّةَ حَرِيرٍ بِأَلْوَانٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ وَ ضُرُوبٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ مَنْسُوجَةً بِالذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ الْأَحْمَرِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُحَلَّوْنَ فِيها مِنْ أَساوِرَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَ لُؤْلُؤاً وَ لِباسُهُمْ فِيها حَرِيرٌ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ اهْتَزَّ سَرِيرُهُ فَرَحاً فَإِذَا اسْتَقَرَّ لِوَلِيِّ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ مَنَازِلُهُ فِي الْجِنَانِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِجِنَانِهِ لِيُهَنِّئَهُ بِكَرَامَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِيَّاهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ خُدَّامُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنَ الْوُصَفَاءِ وَ الْوَصَائِفِ مَكَانَكَ فَإِنَّ وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ قَدِ اتَّكَأَ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ وَ زَوْجَتُهُ الْحَوْرَاءُ تَهَيَّأُ لَهُ فَاصْبِرْ لِوَلِيِّ اللَّهِ

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘And he will be dressed in seventy garments of silk of different colours, struck with different designs with gold, and the silver, and the pearls, and the red sapphire. So that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[22:23] they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments there will be of silk”. So when the Believer sits upon his bed, it will vibrate with joy. When the friend of Allahazwj settles down in his house in the Paradise, the Angels allocated to his Garden will seek permission from him so as to congratulate him for the honour Bestowed upon him by Allahazwj, and they will come to him. So the servants of the Believer from the butlers and the maids will say to them, ‘Stay in your place, for the friend of Allahazwj is leaning upon his couch, and his Hourie wife is grooming herself for him, therefore wait for the friend of Allahazwj’.

قَالَ فَتَخْرُجُ عَلَيْهِ زَوْجَتُهُ الْحَوْرَاءُ مِنْ خَيْمَةٍ لَهَا تَمْشِي مُقْبِلَةً وَ حَوْلَهَا وَصَائِفُهَا وَ عَلَيْهَا سَبْعُونَ حُلَّةً مَنْسُوجَةً بِالْيَاقُوتِ وَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ وَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ وَ هِيَ مِنْ مِسْكٍ وَ عَنْبَرٍ وَ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا تَاجُ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ عَلَيْهَا نَعْلَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُكَلَّلَتَانِ بِالْيَاقُوتِ وَ اللُّؤْلُؤِ شِرَاكُهُمَا يَاقُوتٌ أَحْمَرُ فَإِذَا دَنَتْ مِنْ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ فَهَمَّ أَنْ يَقُومَ إِلَيْهَا شَوْقاً فَتَقُولُ لَهُ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ هَذَا يَوْمَ تَعَبٍ وَ لَا نَصَبٍ فَلَا تَقُمْ أَنَا لَكَ وَ أَنْتَ لِي قَالَ فَيَعْتَنِقَانِ مِقْدَارَ خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ مِنْ أَعْوَامِ الدُّنْيَا لَا يُمِلُّهَا وَ لَا تُمِلُّهُ

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘So his Hourie wife will come out to him from her tent, walking to welcome him, and around her will be her maids, and upon her would be seventy garments interwoven with the sapphire, and the pearls, and the emeralds, and scented with musk, and ambergris. And upon her head would be a crown of prestige, and she would be wearing shoes of gold laced with sapphire and pearls, and their laces will be of red sapphire. So when she approaches the friend of Allahazwj, he would understand it and he would get up for her in desire, so she will say to him, ‘O friend of Allahazwj, this is not a day of tiredness and suffering, so do not get up. I am for you and you are for me’.

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘So they will hug each other for a duration of five hundred years from the years of the world. Neither will he get weary of her nor will she get weary of him.

قَالَ فَإِذَا فَتَرَ بَعْضَ الْفُتُورِ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَلَالَةٍ نَظَرَ إِلَى عُنُقِهَا فَإِذَا عَلَيْهَا قَلَائِدُ مِنْ قَصَبٍ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ أَحْمَرَ وَسَطُهَا لَوْحٌ صَفْحَتُهُ دُرَّةٌ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيهَا أَنْتَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ حَبِيبِي وَ أَنَا الْحَوْرَاءُ حَبِيبَتُكَ إِلَيْكَ تَنَاهَتْ نَفْسِي وَ إِلَيَّ تَنَاهَتْ نَفْسُكَ

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘So when he calms down without being disheartened from her, he will look at her neck, so he will see on her a necklace embedded with red sapphire. In the midst of it would be a panel of pears on which would be written, “You, O friend of Allahazwj is my beloved, and I am the Hourie, beloved to you. My self is devoted to you and your self is devoted to me”.

ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُهَنِّئُونَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ يُزَوِّجُونَهُ بِالْحَوْرَاءِ قَالَ فَيَنْتَهُونَ إِلَى أَوَّلِ بَابٍ مِنْ جِنَانِهِ فَيَقُولُونَ لِلْمَلَكِ الْمُوَكَّلِ بِأَبْوَابِ جِنَانِهِ اسْتَأْذِنْ لَنَا عَلَى وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَنَا إِلَيْهِ نُهَنِّئُهُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمُ الْمَلَكُ حَتَّى أَقُولَ لِلْحَاجِبِ فَيُعْلِمَهُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ قَالَ فَيَدْخُلُ الْمَلَكُ إِلَى الْحَاجِبِ وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْحَاجِبِ ثَلَاثُ جِنَانٍ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى أَوَّلِ بَابٍ فَيَقُولُ لِلْحَاجِبِ إِنَّ عَلَى بَابِ الْعَرْصَةِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ أَرْسَلَهُمْ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِيُهَنِّئُوا وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ سَأَلُونِي أَنْ آذَنَ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ الْحَاجِبُ إِنَّهُ لَيَعْظُمُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَسْتَأْذِنَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَ زَوْجَتِهِ الْحَوْرَاءِ

Then Allahazwj will Send to him a thousand Angels to congratulate him for being in the Paradise and having been married to the Hourie’. Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘So they will end up to the first of the doors of his Gardens. They will say to the Angel allocated for that door of his garden, ‘Grant us permission to the friend of Allahazwj, for Allahazwj has Sent us to him to congratulate him’. The Angel will say to them, ‘Wait until I inform the guard to inform him of your places’.

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘So the Angel would come up to the guard, and in between the guard and him would be three Gardens until he will end up at the first door. So he will say to the guard that, ‘A thousand Angels are awaiting at the door, having been Sent by the Lordazwj of the world, Blessed and High, to congratulate the friend of Allahazwj and have asked me to grant them permission to see him’. The guard will say to the Angel, ‘This is difficult for me that I should permit anyone to the friend of Allahazwj as he is with his Hourie wife’.

قَالَ وَ بَيْنَ الْحَاجِبِ وَ بَيْنَ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ جَنَّتَانِ قَالَ فَيَدْخُلُ الْحَاجِبُ إِلَى الْقَيِّمِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ إِنَّ عَلَى بَابِ الْعَرْصَةِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ أَرْسَلَهُمْ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ يُهَنِّئُونَ وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ فَاسْتَأْذِنْ لَهُمْ فَيَتَقَدَّمُ الْقَيِّمُ إِلَى الْخُدَّامِ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ رُسُلَ الْجَبَّارِ عَلَى بَابِ الْعَرْصَةِ وَ هُمْ أَلْفُ مَلَكٍ أَرْسَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ يُهَنِّئُونَ وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ فَأَعْلِمُوهُ بِمَكَانِهِمْ قَالَ فَيُعْلِمُونَهُ فَيُؤْذَنُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ فَيَدْخُلُونَ عَلَى وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ فِي الْغُرْفَةِ وَ لَهَا أَلْفُ بَابٍ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهِ فَإِذَا أُذِنَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ بِالدُّخُولِ عَلَى وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ فَتَحَ كُلُّ مَلَكٍ بَابَهُ الْمُوَكَّلَ بِهِ قَالَ فَيُدْخِلُ الْقَيِّمُ كُلَّ مَلَكٍ مِنْ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْغُرْفَةِ قَالَ فَيُبَلِّغُونَهُ رِسَالَةَ الْجَبَّارِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ بابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْغُرْفَةِ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘And in between the guard and the friend of Allahazwj are two Gardens’. Hesaww said: ‘So the guard will come up to the supervisor and say to him that, ‘At the door are a thousand Angels whom the Lordazwj of Honour has Sent to congratulate the friend of Allahazwj, so grant them permission’. The supervisor will proceed to the servants and say to them that, ‘A thousand Angels are at the door whom Allahazwj has Sent to congratulate the friend of Allahazwj, so make their places known to him’.

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘So they will make it known to him, and he will tell him to grant permission to the Angels. So they will come up to the friend of Allahazwj, and he would be in a mansion of his, and there will be a thousand doors in it, and at each door of its doors would be an Angel allocated to it. So he will allow the Angels to enter to be with the friend of Allahazwj by opening one door for each of the Angels to enter by. The supervisor would then allow each of the Angels from the door of the doors of the Mansion’. Hesaww said: ‘So they would then convey the Message of the Compellerazwj Majestic and Mighty to him and that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[13:23] and the angels will enter in upon them from every gate”, from the doors of the Mansion, “[13:24] Peace be on you” - up to the end of the Verse’.

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘And that is the Statement of the Majestic and Mighty: “[76:20] And when you see there, you shall see blessings and a great kingdom”, meaning by that the friend of Allahazwj and what he would be in from the Prestige and the Bounties, and the Magnificent and Great Kingdom. The Angels Sent by the Message from Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, would seek permission for their entrance to him. So they do not come up to him except by his permission. So that is the Magnificent and Great Kingdom’.

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘And the rivers would flow from underneath his dwelling and that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[18:31] These it is for whom are gardens of perpetuity beneath which rivers flow”. And the fruits would come near to them and it is the Statement of Mighty and Majestic: “[76:14] And close down upon them (shall be) its shadows, and its fruits shall be made near (to them) (as in humility), being easy to reach”. The Believer would eat from the varieties of fruits by its category whilst leaning (relaxed upon the couch), and the varieties of the fruits will say to the friend of Allahazwj, ‘Eat me before you eat this one’.

قَالَ وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ جِنَانٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مَعْرُوشَاتٌ وَ غَيْرُ مَعْرُوشَاتٍ وَ أَنْهَارٌ مِنْ خَمْرٍ وَ أَنْهَارٌ مِنْ مَاءٍ وَ أَنْهَارٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ وَ أَنْهَارٌ مِنْ عَسَلٍ فَإِذَا دَعَا وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ بِغِذَائِهِ أُتِيَ بِمَا تَشْتَهِي نَفْسُهُ عِنْدَ طَلَبِهِ الْغِذَاءَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُسَمِّيَ شَهْوَتَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَتَخَلَّى مَعَ إِخْوَانِهِ وَ يَزُورُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَ يَتَنَعَّمُونَ فِي جَنَّاتِهِمْ فِي ظِلٍّ مَمْدُودٍ فِي مِثْلِ مَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ أَطْيَبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ سَبْعُونَ زَوْجَةً حَوْرَاءَ وَ أَرْبَعُ نِسْوَةٍ مِنَ الْآدَمِيِّينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ سَاعَةً مَعَ الْحَوْرَاءِ وَ سَاعَةً مَعَ الْآدَمِيَّةِ وَ سَاعَةً يَخْلُو بِنَفْسِهِ عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ مُتَّكِئاً يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ

Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘And there is none from the Believer in the Paradise except that for him would be numerous Gardens, with a gazebo or without a gazebo, and rivers of pure drinks, and rivers of water, and rivers of milk, and rivers of honey. So if the friend of Allahazwj calls to partake a meal, he would be given whatsoever he desires for from the foods without even having named his desire’. Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Then he would seclude himself with his wife, and some of them would visit each other, and they would enjoy in their Gardens in extended shade, similar to what is between the break of dawn to the rise of the sun, and better than that.

Each of the Believer would have seventy wives from the Houries, and four women from the humans, and the Believer would spend an hour with the Hourie, and an hour with the human (wife), and an hour alone with himself, being relaxed leaning on his couch, some looking at some others’.

وَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَغْشَاهُ شُعَاعُ نُورٍ وَ هُوَ عَلَى أَرِيكَتِهِ وَ يَقُولُ لِخُدَّامِهِ مَا هَذَا الشُّعَاعُ اللَّامِعُ لَعَلَّ الْجَبَّارَ لَحَظَنِي فَيَقُولُ لَهُ خُدَّامُهُ قُدُّوسٌ قُدُّوسٌ جَلَّ جَلَالُ اللَّهِ بَلْ هَذِهِ حَوْرَاءُ مِنْ نِسَائِكَ مِمَّنْ لَمْ تَدْخُلْ بِهَا بَعْدُ قَدْ أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ خَيْمَتِهَا شَوْقاً إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ تَعَرَّضَتْ لَكَ وَ أَحَبَّتْ لِقَاءَكَ فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَتْكَ مُتَّكِئاً عَلَى سَرِيرِكَ تَبَسَّمَتْ نَحْوَكَ شَوْقاً إِلَيْكَ فَالشُّعَاعُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ وَ النُّورُ الَّذِي غَشِيَكَ هُوَ مِنْ بَيَاضِ ثَغْرِهَا وَ صَفَائِهِ وَ نَقَائِهِ وَ رِقَّتِهِ

The Believer would be covered by a shining beam of light and he would be upon his couch, and he would say to his servants, ‘What is this beam of light? Perhaps it is the Brilliance of the Compellerazwj Who has Observed me’. His servants would say to him, ‘Holy is Heazwj! Holy is Heazwj! Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty! But, this is a Hourie from your women (wives) whom you have never entered into. She just looked out of her tent towards you in her desire for you, and wants to present herself to you, and would love to meet with you. So when she saw you relaxed upon your couch, she smiled in her desire for you. So that was the brilliant beam that you saw and the light which you were covered in, it was from the whiteness of her mouth (teeth), and her cleanliness, and her purity, and her tenderness’.

قَالَ فَيَقُولُ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ ائْذَنُوا لَهَا فَتَنْزِلَ إِلَيَّ فَيَبْتَدِرُ إِلَيْهَا أَلْفُ وَصِيفٍ وَ أَلْفُ وَصِيفَةٍ يُبَشِّرُونَهَا بِذَلِكَ فَتَنْزِلُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْمَتِهَا وَ عَلَيْهَا سَبْعُونَ حُلَّةً مَنْسُوجَةً بِالذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ مُكَلَّلَةً بِالدُّرِّ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ وَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ صِبْغُهُنَّ الْمِسْكُ وَ الْعَنْبَرُ بِأَلْوَانٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ يُرَى مُخُّ سَاقِهَا مِنْ وَرَاءِ سَبْعِينَ حُلَّةً طُولُهَا سَبْعُونَ ذِرَاعاً وَ عَرْضُ مَا بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْهَا عَشَرَةُ أَذْرُعٍ فَإِذَا دَنَتْ مِنْ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ أَقْبَلَ الْخُدَّامُ بِصَحَائِفِ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ فِيهَا الدُّرُّ وَ الْيَاقُوتُ وَ الزَّبَرْجَدُ فَيَنْثُرُونَهَا عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ يُعَانِقُهَا وَ تُعَانِقُهُ فَلَا يَمَلُّ وَ لَا تَمَلُّ

Hesaww said: ‘So the friend of Allahazwj would say, ‘Grant her permission’. So a thousand servants and a thousand maids would descend to her to give her the good news of that. So she would then come to him from her tent, and she would have upon her seventy garments interwoven with the gold, and silver, laced with gems and the sapphire, and the emeralds cover with musk and ambergris, of different colours. The marrow of her leg would be seen from underneath the seventy garments of seventy cubits of length, and the (distance) between her shoulders would be of ten cubits. So when she approaches the friend of Allahazwj, the servants would welcome her by a tray of gold and the silver in which would be gems, and the sapphire, and the emeralds, so they would display these to her. Then he would embrace her and she would embrace him. So neither would he be weary nor would she be weary’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَمَّا الْجِنَانُ الْمَذْكُورَةُ فِي الْكِتَابِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ جَنَّةُ عَدْنٍ وَ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ وَ جَنَّةُ نَعِيمٍ وَ جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى قَالَ وَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جِنَاناً مَحْفُوفَةً بِهَذِهِ الْجِنَانِ وَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَكُونُ لَهُ مِنَ الْجِنَانِ مَا أَحَبَّ وَ اشْتَهَى يَتَنَعَّمُ فِيهِنَّ كَيْفَ يَشَاءُ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْمُؤْمِنُ شَيْئاً أَوِ اشْتَهَى إِنَّمَا دَعْوَاهُ فِيهَا إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَإِذَا قَالَهَا تَبَادَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْخَدَمُ بِمَا اشْتَهَى مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ طَلَبَهُ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ أَمَرَ بِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ دَعْواهُمْ فِيها سُبْحانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ تَحِيَّتُهُمْ فِيها سَلامٌ يَعْنِي الْخُدَّامَ قَالَ وَ آخِرُ دَعْواهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ مَا يَقْضُونَ مِنْ لَذَّاتِهِمْ مِنَ الْجِمَاعِ وَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ يَحْمَدُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عِنْدَ فَرَاغَتِهِمْ

He the (narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘But rather the Gardens Mentioned in the Book are the Garden of Eden, and the Garden of Al-Firdows, and Garden of Naeem, and Garden of Al-Ma’wa’. Heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj has Surrounded these Gardens with other Gardens, and that the Believer would be able to have for him from the Gardens whichever one what he loves, and wants and enjoy wherever he so likes to. And if the Believer intends a thing, or covets it, he would call for it by saying, ‘Glory be to Youazwj, our Allahazwj!’ So if he says it, the servants would keep coming to him with what he had coveted for even without him having asked them for it or commanded them for it, and that is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[10:10] Their cry in it shall be: Glory to Thee, O Allah! and their greeting in it shall be: ‘سَلامٌ’ Peace”, meaning the servants’. Heasws said: “[10:10] and the last of their cry shall be: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”, meaning by that after their having had their enjoyment from the copulation, and the food, and the drinks, they will be Praising Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic during their being free from that’.

وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ أُولئِكَ لَهُمْ رِزْقٌ مَعْلُومٌ قَالَ يَعْلَمُهُ الْخُدَّامُ فَيَأْتُونَ بِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوهُمْ إِيَّاهُ

And as for Hisazwj Statement: “[37:41] For them is a Sustenance determined”, heasws said: ‘The servants know of it, so they bring it to the friend of Allahazwj before he even asks them for it’.

وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَواكِهُ وَ هُمْ مُكْرَمُونَ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَشْتَهُونَ شَيْئاً فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا أُكْرِمُوا بِهِ.

And as for the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[37:42] Fruits, and they shall be highly honoured”, heasws said: ‘They will not desire anything in the Paradise, except that they will be honoured with it’.

H 14518 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Wahsa’a, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘It was said to Abu Ja’farasws and I was in hisasws presence that, ‘Saalim Bin Abu Hafsa and his companions are narrating from youasws that youasws speak upon seventy perspectives, for youasws there is a way out from (each one) of these?’ Heasws said: ‘What does Saalim want from measws? Does he want that Iasws should come with the Angels. By Allahazwj, (even) the Prophetsas did not come with this. And Ibrahimas said: “[37:89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick!”, and heas was not sick and heas did not lie. And Ibrahimas has said: “[21:63] He said: "Nay, this was done by  this their biggest one! Ask them, if they can speak!”, and he (their biggest idol) had not done it, and heas did not lie’. And Yusufas has said: “[12:70] O camel-riders! Lo! Ye are surely thieves!” by Allahazwj they had not stolen, and heas had not lied’.

حَدِيثُ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ مَعَ الْمَرْأَةِ

HADEETH OF ABU BASEER WITH THE WOMAN

14519- أَبَانٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِذْ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا أُمُّ خَالِدٍ الَّتِي كَانَ قَطَعَهَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ عُمَرَ تَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ كَلَامَهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَذِنَ لَهَا قَالَ وَ أَجْلَسَنِي مَعَهُ عَلَى الطِّنْفِسَةِ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ فَتَكَلَّمَتْ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ بَلِيغَةٌ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهَا تَوَلَّيْهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَقُولُ لِرَبِّي إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِوَلَايَتِهِمَا قَالَ نَعَمْ

H 14519 – Abaan, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws when mother of Khalid who had been cut off by Yusuf Bin Umar came up, seeking permission to see himasws. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Would you like to listen to her speech?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Grant her permission’, and heasws made me sit alongside himasws upon the seat. Then she came in. She spoke eloquently. So she asked about the two of them. Heasws said to her: ‘Befriend the two of them’ She said, ‘Shall I say to my Lordazwj when I meet Himazwj that youasws ordered me to befriend them?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’.

قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي مَعَكَ عَلَى الطِّنْفِسَةِ يَأْمُرُنِي بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمَا وَ كَثِيرٌ النَّوَّاءُ يَأْمُرُنِي بِوَلَايَتِهِمَا فَأَيُّهُمَا خَيْرٌ وَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ النَّوَّاءِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّ هَذَا تَخَاصَمَ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْكافِرُونَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ.

She said, ‘But the one who is seated with youasws upon the seat (Abu Baseer) has ordered me to keep away (Tabarra) from those two whilst Kaseer Al-Nawa has ordered me to befriend those two. So, which one is better and more beloved to youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! This one here is more beloved to measws than Kaseer Al-Nawa and his companions. This one here argues by saying: “[5:44] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers”; “[5:45] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust”; “[5:47] And the followers of the Injeel should have judged by what Allah revealed in it; and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the transgressors”.

H 14520 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, form Umar Bin Abaan, from Abdul Hameed Al-Wabishy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said, when I said from himasws, ‘We have a neighbour who violates all the Prohibitions to the extent that he leaves the Prayer as well among other matters’. Heasws said: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! And that is a great matter. However, shall Iasws inform you of the one who is more evil than him?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

Heasws said: ‘The one who is hostile to usasws (Nasibi) is more evil than him. But rather, there is none from the servant in whose presence the Peopleasws of the Household are mentioned and he sympathises with ourasws remembrance, except that the Angels wipe his back, and all of his sins are Forgiven unless he commits a sin which takes him out of the ‘Eman’ (faith), and his intercession is Accepted whilst it is not acceptable for the Nasibi (hostile one).

وَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَشْفَعُ لِجَارِهِ وَ مَا لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ جَارِي كَانَ يَكُفُّ عَنِّي الْأَذَى فَيُشَفَّعُ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَنَا رَبُّكَ وَ أَنَا أَحَقُّ مَنْ كَافَى عَنْكَ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَا لَهُ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ وَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَفَاعَةً لَيَشْفَعُ لِثَلَاثِينَ إِنْسَاناً فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ فَما لَنا مِنْ شافِعِينَ وَ لا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ.

And that the Believer will intercede for his neighbour even if there is no good deed to his credit. He will say, ‘O Lordazwj! My neighbour used to restrain himself from hurting me’, so he will intercede for him’. So Allahazwj Blessed and High will say: “Iazwj am your Lordazwj and more Right to Suffice for you. So Heazwj will Enter him in the Paradise although there will be no good deeds to his credit. And that the lowest of the ‘Momineen’ (Believers) would intercede for thirty people. When that happens, the inhabitants of the Fire will say, “[26:100] So we have no intercessors, [26:101] Nor a true friend”.

H 14521 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Yazi’e, from Saleh Bin Uqba, from Abu Haroun, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said to a number (of people) who were in hisasws presence and I was present: ‘What is the matter with you all that you take usasws lightly?’ A man from Khurasan stood up and said, ‘Allahazwj Forbid that we should take youasws or any of yourasws commands lightly’.

Heasws said: ‘Yes, you are one of those who take measws lightly’. He said, ‘Allahazwj Forbid that I should take youasws lightly’. Heasws said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, or did you not hear so and so, and we were near Al-Juhfa, and he was saying to you, ‘Give me a ride for about a mile, for By Allahazwj, I have become (very) tired’? By Allahazwj, you did not even raise your head and took him lightly by it, and the one who takes one who Believes in usasws lightly, has taken lightly and wasted the Sanctity of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

H 14522 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws that, ‘Allahazwj Bestowed (Favour) upon us that we recognised Hisazwj Oneness, then Bestowed (Favour) upon us that we accepted the Prophet-hood of Muhammadsaww, then Specialised us with yourasws love, the Peopleasws of the Household that we befriended you, and keep away from yourasws enemies, and we intend by that to save ourselves from the Fire’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I sympathised with him and cried’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) سَلْنِي فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ قَالَهَا لِمَخْلُوقٍ قَبْلَكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ خَبِّرْنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ ظَلَمَانَا حَقَّنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنَعَا فَاطِمَةَ (صلوات الله عليها) مِيرَاثَهَا مِنْ أَبِيهَا وَ جَرَى ظُلْمُهُمَا إِلَى الْيَوْمِ قَالَ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى خَلْفِهِ وَ نَبَذَا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَرَاءَ ظُهُورِهِمَا.

So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Ask measws, for by Allahazwj, you will not ask measws about a thing except that Iasws will inform you of it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abdul Malik Bin Ayn, ‘I have not heard himasws say that to any creature before you’. I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. Heasws said: ‘They were unjust to usasws of ourasws rights in the Book of Allahazwj, and with usasws Fatimaasws, the inheritance from herasws fathersaww, and the injustices of these two still flow up to this day’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And he gestured to hisasws back’, (and said): ‘They threw the Book of Allahazwj behind their two backs’.

H 14523 – And by this chain, from Abaan, from Uqba Bin Basheer Al-Asady, from Al-Kumeyt Bin Zayd Al-asady who said:

‘I came up to Abu Ja’farasws, so heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, O Kumeyt, if weasws had in ourasws possession some wealth, weasws would have given you from it, but for you is what the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said to Hassan Bin Sabit: ‘The Holy Spirit will not cease to be with you so long as you defend ussaww’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ خَبِّرْنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْوِسَادَةَ فَكَسَرَهَا فِي صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا كُمَيْتُ مَا أُهَرِيقَ مِحْجَمَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ وَ لَا أُخِذَ مَالٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ وَ لَا قُلِبَ حَجَرٌ عَنْ حَجَرٍ إِلَّا ذَاكَ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمَا.

I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. He (the narrator) said: ‘Heasws took the pillow and folded it unto hisasws chest’ and said: ‘By Allahazwj, O Kumeyt, there is no blood spilled unlawfully, nor any wealth taken without right, and not stone turned from another stone except that it would be upon their necks’.

H 14524 – And by this chain, from Abaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Al-Abbas Al-Makky who said:

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying that: ‘Umar met Aliasws, so he said to himasws, ‘Youasws are the one who is reciting this Verse: “[68:6] Which of you is afflicted with madness” and applying it to me and to my companion’.

Heasws said to him: ‘Shall I not inform you of a Verse which has Descended about the Clan of Umayya: “[47:22] But if you held command, you were sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship”?’ So he said, ‘Youasws are lying. The Clan of Umayya are better at maintaining relations than youasws are, but youasws refuse to do anything except be inimical to the Clan of Taym (Abu Bakr’s tribe), and the Clan of Ady (Umar’s tribe), and the Clan of Umayya (Muawiya’s tribe)’.

H 14525 – And by this chain, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Al-Haris Al-Nasry who said:

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[14:28] Have you not seen those who have changed Allah's favour for ungratefulness”, (Imamasws) asked: ‘What are you all saying about that?’ I said, ‘We are saying that these are the tyrants from the Qureish, the Clan of Umayya and the Clan of Al-Mugheira’. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, this is about the Qureish in its entirety. Allahazwj Blessed and High Addressed Hisazwj Prophetsaww, so Heazwj Said: “Iazwj Gave preference to the Qureish over the Arabs, and Completed upon them Myazwj Favours, and Sent to the Myazwj Rasoolsaww, so they changed Myazwj Favour by denial “[14:28] and made their people to alight into the abode of perdition”.

H 14526 – And by this chain, from Abaan, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws and Abu Abdullahasws, that the two of themasws said: ‘When the people belied the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, Allahazwj Blessed and High Decided to Destroy the people of the earth except for Aliasws and no one else by Hisazwj Statement: “[51:54] Then turn your back upon them for you are not to blame”. Then Changed it for them so Heazwj was Merciful to the Believers. Then Heazwj Said to Hisazwj Prophetsaww: “[51:55] And continue to remind, for surely the reminder profits the believers”.

H 14527 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Haza’a, from Suweyr Bin Abu Fakhta who said:

I heard Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws narrating in the Masjid of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj saying: ‘Narrated to measws by myasws fatherasws, and heasws heard it from hisasws fatherasws Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws narrating to the people saying: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, Allahazwj will Resurrect the people from their graves in their isolation, without beards, in one plane, being driven by the light, and Gather them in the darkness until they are paused upon the hurdle on the Place of Resurrection. So, some of them will climb upon the others, becoming over crowded. They will be prevented from passing. Their breathing will be heavy and they will sweat profusely, and their affairs would be constricted, their noises would intensify, and their voices would be raised. Heasws said: ‘This will be the first sensation from the sensations of the Day of Judgement’.

قَالَ فَيُشْرِفُ الْجَبَّارُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ فِي ظِلَالٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَيَأْمُرُ مَلَكاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَيُنَادِي فِيهِمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْخَلَائِقِ أَنْصِتُوا وَ اسْتَمِعُوا مُنَادِيَ الْجَبَّارِ قَالَ فَيَسْمَعُ آخِرُهُمْ كَمَا يَسْمَعُ أَوَّلُهُمْ قَالَ فَتَنْكَسِرُ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ تَخْشَعُ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَ تَضْطَرِبُ فَرَائِصُهُمْ وَ تَفْزَعُ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ يَرْفَعُونَ رُءُوسَهُمْ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ الصَّوْتِ مُهْطِعِينَ إِلَى الدَّاعِ قَالَ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ الْكَافِرُ هذا يَوْمٌ عَسِرٌ

Heasws said: ‘The Compellerazwj Blessed and High will Attend to them from above Hisazwj Throne in the shadow of the Angels, so Heazwj Command an Angel from the Angels who would call out among them: ‘O group of creatures! Listen, and listen intently to the Caller of the Compellerazwj’. Heasws said: ‘So the last of them would hear it just as the first of them’. Heasws said: ‘Their voices would break up due to that, and they will anxiously look around and their body parts would become restless, and their hearts would be in a panic, and they will be raising their heads towards the direction of the voice hastening to the Caller’. Heasws said: ‘So when that happens, the Infidel would say, ‘This is a difficult day’.

Heasws said: ‘So the Compellerazwj Mighty and Majestic would Attend to be the Judge over them, so Heazwj will Say to them: “Iazwj am Allahazwj. There is no god except for Meazwj. Iazwj am the Equitable Judge Whom will not Let any injustice be done today. Iazwj Shall Judge between you all with Justice and Equity. No one will be done injustice in Myazwj Presence today. Iazwj shall Take the rights for weak ones from the strong ones and for those who have suffered injustices will be retaliation from the good deeds and the sins as compensation and be Rewarded for the gifts. And no one will be Permitted today in Myazwj Presence, as an unjust one or one to whom injustice has been done except if he waives his right against the other one, and Iazwj shall Take from him (the unjust one) during the Accounting correlated.

O you creatures! And seek what is due to you from the one who was unjust to you for it in the world, and Iazwj am a Witness for you against them, and Iazwj am sufficient as a Witness’.

قَالَ فَيَتَعَارَفُونَ وَ يَتَلَازَمُونَ فَلَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ لَهُ عِنْدَ أَحَدٍ مَظْلِمَةٌ أَوْ حَقٌّ إِلَّا لَزِمَهُ بِهَا قَالَ فَيَمْكُثُونَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَيَشْتَدُّ حَالُهُمْ وَ يَكْثُرُ عَرَقُهُمْ وَ يَشْتَدُّ غَمُّهُمْ وَ تَرْتَفِعُ أَصْوَاتُهُمْ بِضَجِيجٍ شَدِيدٍ فَيَتَمَنَّوْنَ الْمَخْلَصَ مِنْهُ بِتَرْكِ مَظَالِمِهِمْ لِأَهْلِهَا

Heasws said: ‘So they will recognise each other and seize the opportunity. So not one would remain for whom there would be anything from the unjust one any right except that he would claim for it’. Heasws said: ‘So they would do that for as long as Allahazwj so Desires. Their condition would become difficult, and they will sweat profusely, and their grief would intensify, and they would be raising their voices by intense noise. So they would wish to be finished from it by letting go of their rights and not bother to claim for it from the unjust ones’.

Heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj would Know of their struggles, so a Caller would Call out from the Presence of Allahazwj Blessed and High which the last of them would hear as well as the first of them: ‘O group of creatures, listen intently to the Caller of Allahazwj Blessed and High, and listen to what Allahazwj Blessed and High is Saying to you all: ‘Iazwj Am the Bestower and would Love it if you would gift (forego) each other and if you do not then Iazwj will Take it for you from the one who was unjust to you’. Heasws said: ‘So they would become happy with that due to their difficult struggles, and constriction, and their behaviour and contention’. Heasws said: ‘So some of them would forego their rights in the hope that it would finish them from the situation that they would be in, and there would remain some of them who would say, ‘O Lordazwj, our rights are greater than us being able to forego them’.

قَالَ فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ الْعَرْشِ أَيْنَ رِضْوَانُ خَازِنُ الْجِنَانِ جِنَانِ الْفِرْدَوْسِ قَالَ فَيَأْمُرُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُطْلِعَ مِنَ الْفِرْدَوْسِ قَصْراً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ بِمَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَبْنِيَةِ وَ الْخَدَمِ قَالَ فَيُطْلِعُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي حِفَافَةِ الْقَصْرِ الْوَصَائِفُ وَ الْخَدَمُ قَالَ فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَا مَعْشَرَ الْخَلَائِقِ ارْفَعُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا الْقَصْرِ قَالَ فَيَرْفَعُونَ رُءُوسَهُمْ فَكُلُّهُمْ يَتَمَنَّاهُ

Heasws said: ‘So a Caller would Call out from beside the Throne: ‘Where is Rizwaan, the keeper of the Gardens of Al-Firdows?’ Heasws said: ‘So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Command him to display from Al-Firdows a castle of silver with whatever is inside it from the construction and the servants’. Heasws said: ‘The butlers and the servants would be seen on the grounds of the castle’. Heasws said: ‘So a Caller would Call out from the Presence of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “O group of creatures! Raise your heads and look at this castle’. Heasws said: ‘So they will be raising their heads, and each one of them would wish for it’.

قَالَ فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى يَا مَعْشَرَ الْخَلَائِقِ هَذَا لِكُلِّ مَنْ عَفَا عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ قَالَ فَيَعْفُونَ كُلُّهُمْ إِلَّا الْقَلِيلَ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَجُوزُ إِلَى جَنَّتِيَ الْيَوْمَ ظَالِمٌ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ إِلَى نَارِيَ الْيَوْمَ ظَالِمٌ وَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عِنْدَهُ مَظْلِمَةٌ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَهَا مِنْهُ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ أَيُّهَا الْخَلَائِقُ اسْتَعِدُّوا لِلْحِسَابِ

Heasws said: ‘So a Caller will Call out from the Presence of Allahazwj: “O group of creatures! This is for every one forgives a Believer’. Heasws said: ‘So all of them would be forgiving except for a few’. Heasws said: ‘So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Say: “There is no Permission to Myazwj Paradise today for the unjust one, and there is no Permission today to the Fire today for the one who was oppressed, or anyone from the Muslims who has in his possession somebody’s rights until it will be Taken from him during the Accounting. O you creatures! Be prepared for the Accounting’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ يُخَلَّى سَبِيلُهُمْ فَيَنْطَلِقُونَ إِلَى الْعَقَبَةِ يَكْرُدُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً حَتَّى يَنْتَهُوا إِلَى الْعَرْصَةِ وَ الْجَبَّارُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ قَدْ نُشِرَتِ الدَّوَاوِينُ وَ نُصِبَتِ الْمَوَازِينُ وَ أُحْضِرَ النَّبِيُّونَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءُ وَ هُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ يَشْهَدُ كُلُّ إِمَامٍ عَلَى أَهْلِ عَالَمِهِ بِأَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ فِيهِمْ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

Heasws said: ‘Then their way would be cleared for them, so they will be moving to the next stage preparing one another until they end up at the Plains, and the Compellerazwj Blessed and High would be upon the Throne. The registers (of deeds) would have been published, the scales set, and the Prophetsas, and the witnessesasws, and these would be the Imamsasws would be present. Each Imamasws testifying over the people of hisasws era, having stood among them by the Command of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and called them to the Way of Allahazwj’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِذَا كَانَ لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُؤْمِنِ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ الْكَافِرِ مَظْلِمَةٌ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَأْخُذُ مِنَ الْكَافِرِ وَ هُوَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) يُطْرَحُ عَنِ الْمُسْلِمِ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ بِقَدْرِ مَا لَهُ عَلَى الْكَافِرِ فَيُعَذَّبُ الْكَافِرُ بِهَا مَعَ عَذَابِهِ بِكُفْرِهِ عَذَاباً بِقَدْرِ مَا لِلْمُسْلِمِ قِبَلَهُ مِنْ مَظْلِمَةٍ

Heasws said: ‘So a man from Qureish said to himasws, ‘O sonasws of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, if there is a Believing man who has a claim against an infidel man, which thing would be taken from the infidel, and he is from the inhabitants of the Fire?’ Heasws said: ‘Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said to him: ‘The sins of the Muslim would be taken from him in accordance with what is due to him from the infidel, so the infidel would be Punished by it along with his Punishment for his infidelity in accordance with what was for the Muslim before that right’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقُرَشِيُّ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الْمَظْلِمَةُ لِلْمُسْلِمِ عِنْدَ مُسْلِمٍ كَيْفَ تُؤْخَذُ مَظْلِمَتُهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِ قَالَ يُؤْخَذُ لِلْمَظْلُومِ مِنَ الظَّالِمِ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ بِقَدْرِ حَقِّ الْمَظْلُومِ فَتُزَادُ عَلَى حَسَنَاتِ الْمَظْلُومِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقُرَشِيُّ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلظَّالِمِ حَسَنَاتٌ قَالَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلظَّالِمِ حَسَنَاتٌ فَإِنَّ لِلْمَظْلُومِ سَيِّئَاتٍ يُؤْخَذُ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ الْمَظْلُومِ فَتُزَادُ عَلَى سَيِّئَاتِ الظَّالِمِ.

Heasws said: ‘So the Qureishi said to himasws, ‘So if there was a right for a Muslim against a Muslim, how would it be taken from a Muslim?’ Heasws said: ‘The good deeds would be taken for the oppressed against the oppressor in accordance with the right of the oppressed and it would increase the good deeds of the oppressed one’. Heasws said: ‘The Qureishi said to himasws: ‘If the oppressor does not have any good deeds to his credit?’ Heasws said: ‘If the oppressor does not have any good deeds to his credit, the sins of the oppressed would be taken from him so it would increase the sins of the oppressor’.

H 14528 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Tha’albat Bin Maymoun, from Aby Amiyya Yusuf Bin Sabit Bin Abu Saeeda, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said when they came up to him and said, ‘But rather, we love youasws due to yourasws nearness to the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, and for what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Obligated from yourasws rights. We do not love youasws for the sake of the world for getting a share of it from youasws. But (we love youasws) only for the Sake of Allahazwj and the House of the Hereafter and that the man from among us would be able to correct his Religion’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) صَدَقْتُمْ صَدَقْتُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا كَانَ مَعَنَا أَوْ جَاءَ مَعَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ هَكَذَا ثُمَّ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا صَامَ النَّهَارَ وَ قَامَ اللَّيْلَ ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِغَيْرِ وَلَايَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَلَقِيَهُ وَ هُوَ عَنْهُ غَيْرُ رَاضٍ أَوْ سَاخِطٌ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ما مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقاتُهُمْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ وَ لا يَأْتُونَ الصَّلاةَ إِلَّا وَ هُمْ كُسالى وَ لا يُنْفِقُونَ إِلَّا وَ هُمْ كارِهُونَ فَلا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوالُهُمْ وَ لا أَوْلادُهُمْ إِنَّما يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِها فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ تَزْهَقَ أَنْفُسُهُمْ وَ هُمْ كافِرُونَ

So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘You have spoken the truth, you have spoken the truth’. Then heasws said: ‘The one who loves usasws is as if he is with usasws, or will come with usasws on the Day of Judgement like this’ – then heasws joined the two forefingers, then said – ‘By Allahazwj! If the man were to Fast during the day, and stand up (for Prayer) during the night, then meets Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic without ourasws Wilayah, (the Peopleasws of the Household) he then would be facing Himazwj (in such that) Allahazwj would either be Unhappy with him or Angry against him’. Then heasws said: ‘And that is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[9:54] The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are: that they reject Allah and His Rasool; that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they offer contributions unwillingly [9:55] Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this world's life and (that) their souls may depart while they are unbelievers”

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَهُ الْعَمَلُ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْكُفْرُ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَعَهُ الْعَمَلُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ تَكُونُوا وَحْدَانِيِّينَ فَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَحْدَانِيّاً يَدْعُو النَّاسَ فَلَا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) وَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنْتَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي.

Then heasws said: ‘And such is that belief that the (bad) deed neither had affected it adversely nor is that disbelief that the (good) deed had provided any profit to it’. Then heasws said; ‘You should become (believers in) Oneness (of Allahazwj) for the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj had called the people to the Oneness (of Allahazwj) but they did not answer himsaww, and the first one who had came forward to himsaww was Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said: ‘Youasws are from mesaww of the status which Harounas had from Musaas except that there is no Prophetas after mesaww’.

14529- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لِعَبَّادِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ الصُّوفِيِّ وَيْحَكَ يَا عَبَّادُ غَرَّكَ أَنْ عَفَّ بَطْنُكَ وَ فَرْجُكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ قُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيداً يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمالَكُمْ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنْكَ شَيْئاً حَتَّى تَقُولَ قَوْلًا عَدْلًا.

H 14529 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Yunus who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said to Abbaad Bin Kaseer Al-Basry Al-Soufy: ‘Woe be unto you, O Abbaad! You have been deceived yourself by (merely) abstaining from your stomach and your genitals. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[33:70] O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and speak the right word [33:71] He will put your deeds into a right state for you”. You must realise that Allahazwj will not Accept from you anything until you speak the truth and just word (do not only rely on the meditation but accept the truth, the Wilayah of Amimahasws)’.

14530- يُونُسُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَجَرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي بِلَادِهِ خَمْسُ حُرَمٍ حُرْمَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ حُرْمَةُ آلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ حُرْمَةُ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ حُرْمَةُ كَعْبَةِ اللَّهِ وَ حُرْمَةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ.

H 14530 – Yunus, from Ali Bin Shajarat, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has five sanctimonious (matters) in Hisazwj earth – sanctity of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, and the sanctity of the Progenyasws of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, and the sanctity of the Book of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and the sanctity of the Kaaba of Allahazwj, and sanctity of the Believer’.

H 14531 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Muhammad Bin Al-Qasim, from Ali Bin Al-Mugheira, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said, ‘I heard himasws saying: ‘When the ‘Momin’ (believer) reaches forty years, Allahazwj Secures him from three illnesses – the leprosy, and the albinism and the madness. So when he reaches fifty, Allahazwj Makes his Accounting to be light. When he reaches sixty years, Allahazwj Grants him the repentance. So when he reaches seventy, the inhabitants of the sky love him.

So when he reaches eighty, Allahazwj Commands to Write down his good deeds and Deletes his bad deeds. So when he reaches ninety, Allahazwj Forgives him what has preceded from his Religion and what has been delayed and Writes him down as a prisoner of Allahazwj in Hisazwj earth’. And in another report – ‘So when he reaches a hundred, so that is the very (feeble) end of life’.

14532- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ عَنْ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَفِي فُسْحَةٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً فَإِذَا بَلَغَ أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً أَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مَلَكَيْهِ قَدْ عَمَّرْتُ عَبْدِي هَذَا عُمُراً فَغَلِّظَا وَ شَدِّدَا وَ تَحَفَّظَا وَ اكْتُبَا عَلَيْهِ قَلِيلَ عَمَلِهِ وَ كَثِيرَهُ وَ صَغِيرَهُ وَ كَبِيرَهُ.

H 14532 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Dawood, from Sayf, from Abu Baseer who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘The servant has the opportunity (to seek forgiveness) until he reaches at the age of forty years. So when he reaches at the age of forty years, Allahazwj Reveals to Hisazwj two Angels: “Iazwj have Let Myazwj servant to get to this age, so stringent and be more strict with him and write down all from little, big, less, more from his deeds.

14533- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنِ الْوَبَاءِ يَكُونُ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمِصْرِ فَيَتَحَوَّلُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ أُخْرَى أَوْ يَكُونُ فِي مِصْرٍ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ إِنَّمَا نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَنْ ذَلِكَ لِمَكَانِ رَبِيئَةٍ كَانَتْ بِحِيَالِ الْعَدُوِّ فَوَقَعَ فِيهِمُ الْوَبَاءُ فَهَرَبُوا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْفَارُّ مِنْهُ كَالْفَارِّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ يَخْلُوَ مَرَاكِزُهُمْ.

H 14533 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammaad Bin Usmaan, from Al-Halby, who has narrated the following:

He said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the epidemic which was spreading in the area around Egypt. Shall the man turn to another area or if he is in Egypt so he should exit from it to somewhere else’. Heasws said: ‘There is no problem with it. However, the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj Prohibited the residence of the a hill who were facing the enemies, when there was a plague among them, (they started) to flee from it. So the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said: ‘To flee from it is like fleeing from the march (of the enemy army). Hesaww abhorred that they should empty their positions’.

H 14534 – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Maalik Al-Hazramy, from hamza Bin Humran, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There are three things from which except for a Nabias no one else is safe from – The ‘الْوَسْوَسَةِ’ untrue perception about the creation, and the ‘الطِّيَرَةُ’ pessimism/depression and the ‘الْحَسَدُ’ jealousy , except that believer does not make use of his jealousy’.

H 14535 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad Al-Jowhary, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, who has said:

Abu Ibrahimasws having said to me: ‘Iasws have had fever for seven months and myasws son has had fever for twelve months and it has been increasing for us.  Iasws feel that it does not affect the whole body. Sometimes it affects in the upper part of the body and does not affect in the lower of it, and sometimes it affects in the lower part of it and does not affect in all of the upper body’.

قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنْ أَذِنْتَ لِي حَدَّثْتُكَ بِحَدِيثٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ جَدِّكَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا وُعِكَ اسْتَعَانَ بِالْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ ثَوْبَانِ ثَوْبٌ فِي الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ وَ ثَوْبٌ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ يُرَاوِحُ بَيْنَهُمَا ثُمَّ يُنَادِي حَتَّى يُسْمَعَ صَوْتُهُ عَلَى بَابِ الدَّارِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you. If youasws allow me, I would narrate to youasws a Hadeeth from Abu Baseer from yourasws grandfatherasws when heasws had fever, heasws sought help by the cold water. So heasws would take two pieces of cloth, one immerse it in the cold water and one on the body and rotate between them. Then heasws would call out until hisasws voice would be heard at the door of the house;  ‘يَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ’ ‘O Fatimaasws daughterasws of the Muhammadsaww’. Heasws said: ‘You have spoken the truth’.

قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا وَجَدْتُمْ لِلْحُمَّى عِنْدَكُمْ دَوَاءً فَقَالَ مَا وَجَدْنَا لَهَا عِنْدَنَا دَوَاءً إِلَّا الدُّعَاءَ وَ الْمَاءَ الْبَارِدَ إِنِّي اشْتَكَيْتُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِطَبِيبٍ لَهُ فَجَاءَنِي بِدَوَاءٍ فِيهِ قَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَبَيْتُ أَنْ أَشْرَبَهُ لِأَنِّي إِذَا قَيَيْتُ زَالَ كُلُّ مَفْصِلٍ مِنِّي.

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws. Have youasws not found a cure for the fever?’ So heasws said: ‘Weasws have not found a cure for it except for the supplication and the cold water. Iasws complained of it, so Muhammad Bin Ibrahim sent a doctor to me for it. So he came to measws with a medicine which made measws vomit, so I refused to drink it, because if I vomit, all of myasws joints hurt’.

14536- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) حُمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَعَوَّذَهُ فَقَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَشْفِيكَ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ يُعْيِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ شَافِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خُذْهَا فَلْتَهْنِيكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَلَا أُقْسِمُ بِمَوَاقِعِ النُّجُومِ لَتَبْرَأَنَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بَكْرٌ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رُقْيَةِ الْحُمَّى فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا.

H 14536 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq Al-Ashary, from Bakr Bin Muhammad Al-Azady who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The Rasoolsaww Allahazwj had fever so Jibraeelas gave to himsaww a charm. So he said: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj I perform incantation on yousaww, O Muhammadsaww, and in the Name of Allahazwj I heal yousaww, and in the Name of Allahazwj from every disease which has exhausted yousaww, and in the Name of Allahazwj, and Allahazwj is yoursaww Healer. So take it and congratulations to yousaww. [56:75] Nay, I swear by the places of the stars for it would free yousaww from it by the Permission of Allahazwj’. Bakr (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about an incantation[13] for the fever, so heasws narrated to me with this’.

H 14537 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin saalim, from Ahmad Bin Al-Nazar, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws has narrated that Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The one who says:

‘بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ’

‘There is no Power and no Mighty except by Allahazwj the High, the Magnificent’, three times, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Suffice for him for ninety nine types of affliction, the least of which is choking (suffocation)’.

H 14538 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysamy, from Abaan Bin usmaan, from Mo’man Al-Razy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The people ran away being defeated on the Day of Ohad, from the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj. So hesaww became angry with intense anger’. Heasws said: ‘Whenever hesaww became angry, sweat would descend from hissaww forehead like pearls’.

قَالَ فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْحَقْ بِبَنِي أَبِيكَ مَعَ مَنِ انْهَزَمَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِي بِكَ أُسْوَةٌ قَالَ فَاكْفِنِي هَؤُلَاءِ فَحَمَلَ فَضَرَبَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ لَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ

Heasws said: ‘So hesaww looked around so there was Aliasws by hissaww side. So hesaww said to himasws: Join with the sons of yourasws father (and go after), the ones who have fled from the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj’. So heasws said: ‘O Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, yousaww are an example for measws’. Hesaww said: ‘So suffice for mesaww against these (enemies)’. So heasws rode and struck the first one heasws met from them’. So Jibraeelas said: ‘This is the consolation, O Muhammadsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Heasws is from mesaww and Isaww am from himasws’. So Jibraeelas said: ‘And I am from youasws both, O Muhammadsaww’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا سَيْفَ إِلَّا ذُو الْفَقَارِ وَ لَا فَتَى إِلَّا عَلِيٌّ.

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘So the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj looked towards Jibraeelsaww who was on a seat of gold in between the sky and the earth and he was saying: ‘There is not sword except for Zu Al-Fiqar and no warrior like Aliasws’.

H 14539 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ubeydullah Bin Ahmad Al-Dahqaan, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Tatary, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad Bin Isa Bayya Al-Sabiry, from Aban Biin Usman said:

‘Fuzyl Al-Barjumy narrated to me saying, ‘I was at Mecca and Khalid Bin Abdull Ameer was the governor, and he was in Al-Masjid near Zamzam. He said, ‘Call Qatada for me’. An old man with a red beard came up, and I went near them to listen. Khalid said, ‘O Qatada, inform me of the most prestigious event that has transpired among the Arabs, and the most honourable event that has transpired among the Arabs, and the most disgraceful event that has transpired among the Arabs’. So he said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep the Emir well. I hereby inform you that the most honourable event that has transpired among the Arabs, and the most disgraceful event that has transpired among the Arabs, is one’. He said, ‘Woe be unto you, one?’ He said, ‘Yes, may Allahazwj Keep the Emir well’. He said, ‘Inform me’. He said, ‘Badr’. He said, ‘And how is that?’

قَالَ إِنَّ بَدْراً أَكْرَمُ وَقْعَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الْعَرَبِ بِهَا أَكْرَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ هِيَ أَعَزُّ وَقْعَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الْعَرَبِ بِهَا أَعَزَّ اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ هِيَ أَذَلُّ وَقْعَةٍ كَانَتْ فِي الْعَرَبِ فَلَمَّا قُتِلَتْ قُرَيْشٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ ذَلَّتِ الْعَرَبُ فَقَالَ لَهُ خَالِدٌ كَذَبْتَ لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ فِي الْعَرَبِ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَنْ هُوَ أَعَزُّ مِنْهُمْ وَيْلَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ أَخْبِرْنِي بِبَعْضِ أَشْعَارِهِمْ قَالَ خَرَجَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ وَ قَدْ أَعْلَمَ لِيُرَى مَكَانُهُ وَ عَلَيْهِ عِمَامَةٌ حَمْرَاءُ وَ بِيَدِهِ تُرْسٌ مُذَهَّبٌ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ : مَا تَنْقِمُ الْحَرْبُ الشَّمُوسُ مِنِّي بَازِلُ عَامَيْنِ حَدِيثُ السِّنّ ‏لِمِثْلِ هَذَا وَلَدَتْنِي أُمِّي فَقَالَ كَذَبَ عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ ابْنُ أَخِي لَأَفْرَسَ مِنْهُ يَعْنِي خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ وَ كَانَتْ أُمُّهُ قُشَيْرِيَّةً

He said, ‘Badr was the most prestigious event that has transpired among the Arabs because Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Gave prestige to Al-Islam and its people, and it is the most honourable event to have transpired among the Arabs because Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic gave Honour to Al-Islam and its people, and it is the most disgraceful event to have transpired among the Arabs, for Qureysh were killed on that Day and the Arabs were humiliated’. Khalid said to him, ‘You have lied, by the Life of Allahazwj for there was no day more honourable for the Arabs than that Day. Woe be unto you, O Qatada, inform me of some of their poems’. He said, ‘Abu Jahl came out on that Day, so that his status may be seen, and upon him was a red turban, and in his hand was a golden shield and he was saying, ‘A detestable war like this cannot take its revenge against me as I am like a two year old camel at the peak of its strength, and it is for the like of this that my mother has borne me’. He said, ‘The enemy of Allahazwj has lied, the son of my brother was more of a horse than him, meaning Khalid Bin Waleed, and his mother was Qushayriyya’.

وَيْلَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ مَنِ الَّذِي يَقُولُ أُوفِي بِمِيعَادِي وَ أَحْمِي عَنْ حَسَبْ فَقَالَ أَصْلَحَ اللَّهُ الْأَمِيرَ لَيْسَ هَذَا يَوْمَئِذٍ هَذَا يَوْمُ أُحُدٍ خَرَجَ طَلْحَةُ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَ هُوَ يُنَادِي مَنْ يُبَارِزُ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّكُمْ تُجَهِّزُونَّا بِأَسْيَافِكُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ نَحْنُ نُجَهِّزُكُمْ بِأَسْيَافِنَا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَبْرُزَنَّ إِلَيَّ رَجُلٌ يُجَهِّزُنِي بِسَيْفِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ أُجَهِّزُهُ بِسَيْفِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ : أَنَا ابْنُ ذِي الْحَوْضَيْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبْ وَ هَاشِمِ المُطْعِمِ فِي الْعَامِ السَّغِبْ‏ أُوفِي بِمِيعَادِي وَ أَحْمِي عَنْ حَسَبْ

Woe be unto you, O Qatada, who is the one who said, ‘I fulfil my promise and defend my status’. He said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep the Emir well, this was not on that Day. This was on the Day of Ohad. Talha Bin Abu Talha came out and he was calling out, ‘Who will come out for the duel?’ No one came out against him’. So he said, ‘You all are alleging that you will exit us by way of your swords to the Fire, and we would dispatch you by our swords to the Paradise, so let a man duel with me to exit me by his sword to the Fire and I will dispatch him by my sword to the Paradise’. So Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws came out against him and heasws was saying: ‘Iasws am the sonasws the owner of the two Fountains Abdul Muttalibas and Hashimas the feeders in the year of the famine. Iasws fulfil myasws promise and defend myasws status’.

فَقَالَ خَالِدٌ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ كَذَبَ لَعَمْرِي وَ اللَّهِ أَبُو تُرَابٍ مَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ ائْذَنْ لِي فِي الِانْصِرَافِ قَالَ فَقَامَ الشَّيْخُ يُفَرِّجُ النَّاسَ بِيَدِهِ وَ خَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ زِنْدِيقٌ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ زِنْدِيقٌ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.

Khalid said, ‘May Allahazwj Curse himasws. Heasws has lied, by the Life of Allahazwj. Abu Turabasws was not like that’. The old man said, ‘O Emir, allow me to leave’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The old man stood up to leave, opening the way through the crowd of people by his hands and he was saying, ‘An atheist (Zindeeq), by the Lordazwj of the Kaaba! An atheist (Zindeeq), by the Lordazwj of the Kaaba’. (This is a report and not a hadeeth)

حَدِيثُ آدَمَ ( عليه السلام ) مَعَ الشَّجَرَةِ

HADEETH OF ADAMas WITH THE TREE

14540- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَهِدَ إِلَى آدَمَ (عليه السلام) أَنْ لَا يَقْرَبَ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْهَا نَسِيَ فَأَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَقَدْ عَهِدْنا إِلى آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَ لَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً فَلَمَّا أَكَلَ آدَمُ (عليه السلام) مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ أُهْبِطَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَوُلِدَ لَهُ هَابِيلُ وَ أُخْتُهُ تَوْأَمٌ وَ وُلِدَ لَهُ قَابِيلُ وَ أُخْتُهُ تَوْأَمٌ ثُمَّ

H 14540 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws having said that: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High Covenanted to Adamas that heas would not go near the tree. When the time came which was in the Knowledge of Allahazwj, heas ate from it. Heas ate from it in forgetfulness and it is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[20:115] And certainly We gave a commandment to Adam before, but he forgot; and We did not find in him any determination”. So when Adamas ate from the tree, heas came to the earth. There were born to himas Habeelas and hisas sister as twins, and there were born to himas Qabeella and hisla sister as twins’.

إِنَّ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) أَمَرَ هَابِيلَ وَ قَابِيلَ أَنْ يُقَرِّبَا قُرْبَاناً وَ كَانَ هَابِيلُ صَاحِبَ غَنَمٍ وَ كَانَ قَابِيلُ صَاحِبَ زَرْعٍ فَقَرَّبَ هَابِيلُ كَبْشاً مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ غَنَمِهِ وَ قَرَّبَ قَابِيلُ مِنْ زَرْعِهِ مَا لَمْ يُنَقَّ فَتُقُبِّلَ قُرْبَانُ هَابِيلَ وَ لَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ قُرْبَانُ قَابِيلَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ ابْنَيْ آدَمَ بِالْحَقِّ إِذْ قَرَّبا قُرْباناً فَتُقُبِّلَ مِنْ أَحَدِهِما وَ لَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ مِنَ الْآخَرِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَ كَانَ الْقُرْبَانُ تَأْكُلُهُ النَّارُ فَعَمَدَ قَابِيلُ إِلَى النَّارِ فَبَنَى لَهَا بَيْتاً وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ بَنَى بُيُوتَ النَّارِ فَقَالَ لَأَعْبُدَنَّ هَذِهِ النَّارَ حَتَّى تَتَقَبَّلَ مِنِّي قُرْبَانِي

Adamas ordered Habeelas and Qabeella that they should make an offering. And Habeelas was a shepherd and Qabeella was a farmer. Habeelas presented a ram from the best of hisas sheep, and Qabeel presented from his farm what had not ripened yet. So the offering of Habeelas was Accepted and the offering of Qabeellar was not Accepted, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[5:27] And relate to them the story of the two sons of Adam with truth when they both offered an offering, but it was accepted from one of them and was not accepted from the other” up to the end of the Verse. And it was that the offering was consumed by the Fire. So Qabeella resorted to the Fire and built for it a house and it was the first of the houses to be built for the fire. Hela said, ‘Ila will worship this fire until myla offering is Accepted from mela’.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ أَتَاهُ وَ هُوَ يَجْرِي مِنِ ابْنِ آدَمَ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ فِي الْعُرُوقِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا قَابِيلُ قَدْ تُقُبِّلَ قُرْبَانُ هَابِيلَ وَ لَمْ يُتَقَبَّلْ قُرْبَانُكَ وَ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَرَكْتَهُ يَكُونُ لَهُ عَقِبٌ يَفْتَخِرُونَ عَلَى عَقِبِكَ وَ يَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ الَّذِي تُقُبِّلَ قُرْبَانُهُ فَاقْتُلْهُ كَيْلَا يَكُونَ لَهُ عَقِبٌ يَفْتَخِرُونَ عَلَى عَقِبِكَ فَقَتَلَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ قَابِيلُ إِلَى آدَمَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَهُ يَا قَابِيلُ أَيْنَ هَابِيلُ فَقَالَ اطْلُبْهُ حَيْثُ قَرَّبْنَا الْقُرْبَانَ فَانْطَلَقَ آدَمُ (عليه السلام) فَوَجَدَ هَابِيلَ قَتِيلًا فَقَالَ آدَمُ (عليه السلام) لُعِنْتِ مِنْ أَرْضٍ كَمَا قَبِلْتِ دَمَ هَابِيلَ وَ بَكَى آدَمُ (عليه السلام) عَلَى هَابِيلَ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً

Then Ibleesla came to himla and hela used to flow in the son of Adamla like the flowing of blood in the veins. So hela said to himla, ‘O Qabeella! The offering of Habeelas has been Accepted whilst yourla offering has not been Accepted, and if youla were to leave himas, hisas descendants would pride themselves over yourla descendants and they will be saying to them, ‘We are the descendants of the oneas whose offering was Accepted’. So kill himas so that heas would not have descendants to be able to gloat over yourla descendants’. So hela killed himas. When Qabeella returned to Adamas, heas said to himla: ‘O Qabeella, where is Habeelas?’ Hela said, ‘Seek himas where we offered the offerings’. So Adamas went and found Habeella murdered. Adamas said: ‘Curse be upon the land which accepted the blood of Habeelas. And Adamas wept upon Habeelas for forty nights.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ آدَمَ سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ وَلَداً فَوُلِدَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ فَسَمَّاهُ هِبَةَ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَهَبَهُ لَهُ وَ أُخْتُهُ تَوْأَمٌ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ نُبُوَّةُ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ اسْتَكْمَلَ أَيَّامَهُ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَا آدَمُ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ نُبُوَّتُكَ وَ اسْتَكْمَلْتَ أَيَّامَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي الْعَقِبِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ عِنْدَ هِبَةِ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَقْطَعَ الْعِلْمَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ آثَارَ النُّبُوَّةِ مِنَ الْعَقِبِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَنْ أَدَعَ الْأَرْضَ إِلَّا وَ فِيهَا عَالِمٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ دِينِي وَ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ طَاعَتِي وَ يَكُونُ نَجَاةً لِمَنْ يُولَدُ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ نُوحٍ

Then Adamas asked hisas Lordazwj for a son. So a boy was born to himas and heas named himas as Hibbat Allah[14] (Gift of Allahazwj) because Allahazwj Gifted himas to himas, and hisas sister as twins. So when the Prophet-hood of Adamas came to an end, and hisas days were complete, Allahazwj Revealed unto himas: “O Adamas! Youras Prophet-hood has ended and youras days are completed, so make the Knowledge which is in youras possession, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Knowledge, and the effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood to be in youras descendants to be in the possession of Hibbat Allahas, for Iazwj will never Cut off the Knowledge, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the effects of the Prophet-hood from youras progeny up to the Day of Judgement, and will never Leave the earth except that there will be in it a knowledgeable one by whom Myazwj Religion would be recognised, and obedience to Meazwj would be recognised, and salvation would lie in the ones born between youas and between Noahas”.

وَ بَشَّرَ آدَمَ بِنُوحٍ (عليهما السلام) فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بَاعِثٌ نَبِيّاً اسْمُهُ نُوحٌ وَ إِنَّهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ يُكَذِّبُهُ قَوْمُهُ فَيُهْلِكُهُمُ اللَّهُ بِالطُّوفَانِ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ آدَمَ وَ بَيْنَ نُوحٍ (عليه السلام) عَشَرَةُ آبَاءٍ أَنْبِيَاءُ وَ أَوْصِيَاءُ كُلُّهُمْ وَ أَوْصَى آدَمُ (عليه السلام) إِلَى هِبَةِ اللَّهِ أَنَّ مَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ بِهِ وَ لْيَتَّبِعْهُ وَ لْيُصَدِّقْ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْجُو مِنَ الْغَرَقِ

And Adamas gave himas the good news of Noahas so heas said: ‘Allahazwj will be Sending a Prophetas whose name is Noahas and heas would call to Allahazwj is Hisazwj Mention, but hisas people would belie himas. So Allahazwj would Destroy them by the storm’. And in between Adamas and Noahas were altogether ten generations of Prophetsas and successorsas. And Adamas bequeathed to Hibbat Allahas that: ‘The ones among youas who would meet himas should believe in himas, and follow himas, and ratify himas for heas would save you from drowning (loosing faith)’.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) مَرِضَ الْمَرْضَةَ الَّتِي مَاتَ فِيهَا فَأَرْسَلَ هِبَةَ اللَّهِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنْ لَقِيتَ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَوْ مَنْ لَقِيتَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ قُلْ لَهُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنَّ أَبِي يَسْتَهْدِيكَ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا هِبَةَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَدْ قُبِضَ وَ إِنَّا نَزَلْنَا لِلصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ فَارْجِعْ فَرَجَعَ فَوَجَدَ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) قَدْ قُبِضَ فَأَرَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ كَيْفَ يُغَسِّلُهُ فَغَسَّلَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ هِبَةُ اللَّهِ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ تَقَدَّمْ فَصَلِّ عَلَى آدَمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَسْجُدَ لِأَبِيكَ آدَمَ وَ هُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَلَيْسَ لَنَا أَنْ نَؤُمَّ شَيْئاً مِنْ وُلْدِهِ فَتَقَدَّمَ هِبَةُ اللَّهِ فَصَلَّى عَلَى أَبِيهِ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ خَلْفَهُ وَ جُنُودُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ كَبَّرَ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً فَأَمَرَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَرَفَعَ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ السُّنَّةُ الْيَوْمَ فِينَا خَمْسُ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ وَ قَدْ كَانَ يُكَبَّرُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ تِسْعاً وَ سَبْعاً

Then Adamas became ill with an illness in which heas passed away, so heas sent for Hibbat Allahas and said to himas: ‘If you meet Jibraeel or meet any of the Angels, so covey greetings from meas and say to him: ‘O Jibraeel, myas fatheras will be guiding you from the fruits of the Paradise’. Jibraeel said to himas: ‘O Hibbat Allahas, youras fatheras has been Captured (passed away) and we are descending to Pray on himas, so return’. Heas returned and found Adamas to have passed away. Jibraeel showed himas how to wash himas. So heas washed himas until when heas came to Pray over himas. Hibbat Allahas said: ‘O Jibraeel, go forward and Pray over Adamas’. Jibraeel said to himas: ‘Verily Allahazwj has Commanded us that we should prostrate to youras fatheras whilst heas was in the Paradise, so it is not for us to lead anyone from hisas sons’. So Hibbat Allahas led the Prayed over hisas father and Jibraeel and the army of the Angels were behind himas and Exclaimed Takbeer over himas thirty times. So Jibraeel was ordered (to announce) for twenty-five exclamations of Takbeer to be lifted from it and the Sunnah of today is of five Takbeers, whilst the exclamations (Takbeers) over the people of Badr were nine and seven’.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ هِبَةَ اللَّهِ لَمَّا دَفَنَ أَبَاهُ أَتَاهُ قَابِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا هِبَةَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَبِي آدَمَ قَدْ خَصَّكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ بِمَا لَمْ أُخَصَّ بِهِ أَنَا وَ هُوَ الْعِلْمُ الَّذِي دَعَا بِهِ أَخُوكَ هَابِيلُ فَتُقُبِّلَ قُرْبَانُهُ وَ إِنَّمَا قَتَلْتُهُ لِكَيْلَا يَكُونَ لَهُ عَقِبٌ فَيَفْتَخِرُونَ عَلَى عَقِبِي فَيَقُولُونَ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ الَّذِي تُقُبِّلَ قُرْبَانُهُ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَبْنَاءُ الَّذِي تُرِكَ قُرْبَانُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ أَظْهَرْتَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي اخْتَصَّكَ بِهِ أَبُوكَ شَيْئاً قَتَلْتُكَ كَمَا قَتَلْتُ أَخَاكَ هَابِيلَ

Thereafter, when Hibbat Allahas had buried hisas fatheras, Qabeella came up to himas and said, ‘O Hibbat Allahas! I have seen myla fatheras that heas had specialised youas with the Knowledge by what heas had not specialised mela with, and it was the Knowledge by which youras brotheras Habeelas had supplicated by. So hisas offering was Accepted, therefore Ila killed himas so that hisas descendants would not be able to gloat over myla descendants by saying, ‘We are the sons of the oneas whose offering was Accepted whilst you are the sons of the onelar whose offering was unsuccessful’. So if youas were to display anything from the Knowledge which youras fatheras has specialised youas with, Ila will kill youas just like Ila killed youras brother Habeelas’.

فَلَبِثَ هِبَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْعَقِبُ مِنْهُ مُسْتَخْفِينَ بِمَا عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الِاسْمِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ مِيرَاثِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ آثَارِ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نُوحاً (عليه السلام) وَ ظَهَرَتْ وَصِيَّةُ هِبَةِ اللَّهِ حِينَ نَظَرُوا فِي وَصِيَّةِ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) فَوَجَدُوا نُوحاً (عليه السلام) نَبِيّاً قَدْ بَشَّرَ بِهِ آدَمُ (عليه السلام) فَآمَنُوا بِهِ وَ اتَّبَعُوهُ وَ صَدَّقُوهُ

So Hibbat Allahas and the descendants from himas continued with what was in their possession, in a fearful (observing Taqeeya[15]) manner, the Knowledge, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Prophet-hood, and the effect of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood until Allahazwj Sent Noahas and the will of Hibbat Allahas was displayed. When they (the descendants) look in the bequest of Adamas they found Noahas as a Prophetas the good news which Adamas had given them of. So they believed in himas, and followed himas and ratified himas.

وَ قَدْ كَانَ آدَمُ (عليه السلام) وَصَّى هِبَةَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَتَعَاهَدَ هَذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ فَيَكُونَ يَوْمَ عِيدِهِمْ فَيَتَعَاهَدُونَ نُوحاً وَ زَمَانَهُ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ فِيهِ وَ كَذَلِكَ جَاءَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ كُلِّ نَبِيٍّ حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ إِنَّمَا عَرَفُوا نُوحاً بِالْعِلْمِ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُمْ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا نُوحاً إِلى قَوْمِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَ كَانَ مَنْ بَيْنَ آدَمَ وَ نُوحٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مُسْتَخْفِينَ وَ لِذَلِكَ خَفِيَ ذِكْرُهُمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَلَمْ يُسَمَّوْا كَمَا سُمِّيَ مَنِ اسْتَعْلَنَ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رُسُلًا قَدْ قَصَصْناهُمْ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ رُسُلًا لَمْ نَقْصُصْهُمْ عَلَيْكَ يَعْنِي لَمْ أُسَمِّ الْمُسْتَخْفِينَ كَمَا سَمَّيْتُ الْمُسْتَعْلِنِينَ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام)

And Adamas had bequeathed to Hibbat Allahas that heas should frequently refer to the will during the start of every year and make it to be a day of Eid for them. They did that during the era of Noahas and the time of hisas coming out and that is what has come in the will of every Prophetas until Allahazwj Sent Muhammadsaww, and they recognised Noahas by the Knowledge which was in their possession, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[11:25] And certainly We sent Nuh to his people” up to the end of the Verse. And there were in between Adamas and Noahas, Prophetsas who were in hiding and it is for that reason theiras mention is hidden in the Quran. So theyas have not been named as have been named the proclaimed Prophetsas, greetings be upon all of themas, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj; “[4:164] And (We sent) Rasools We have mentioned to you before and Rasools we have not mentioned to you”, meaning the hidden ones from the Prophetsas have not been named as the proclaimed ones have been named.

فَمَكَثَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْمِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَاماً لَمْ يُشَارِكْهُ فِي نُبُوَّتِهِ أَحَدٌ وَ لَكِنَّهُ قَدِمَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مُكَذِّبِينَ لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَذَّبَتْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ الْمُرْسَلِينَ يَعْنِي مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) إِلَى أَنِ انْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الرَّحِيمُ

Noahas lived among hisas people for a thousand years less fifty (950) years. Heas did not associate anyone in hisas Prophet-hood for heas had come to a people who had rejected the Prophetsas who were between himas and Adamas and that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[26:105] The people of Nuh rejected the Rasools”, meaning the onesas who were in between himas and Adamas to end in Hisazwj Statement, the Mighty and Majestic: “[26:191] And most surely your Lord is Mighty, the Merciful”.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ نُوحاً (عليه السلام) لَمَّا انْقَضَتْ نُبُوَّتُهُ وَ اسْتُكْمِلَتْ أَيَّامُهُ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَا نُوحُ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ نُبُوَّتَكَ وَ اسْتَكْمَلْتَ أَيَّامَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي الْعَقِبِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَقْطَعَهَا كَمَا لَمْ أَقْطَعْهَا مِنْ بُيُوتَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) الَّتِي بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ لَنْ أَدَعَ الْأَرْضَ إِلَّا وَ فِيهَا عَالِمٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ دِينِي وَ تُعْرَفُ بِهِ طَاعَتِي وَ يَكُونُ نَجَاةً لِمَنْ يُولَدُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ قَبْضِ النَّبِيِّ إِلَى خُرُوجِ النَّبِيِّ الْآخَرِ

So when the Prophet-hood of Noahas came to an end and hisas days were completed, Allahazwj Revealed unto himas that: “O Noahas! Youras Prophet-hood has come to an end and youras days are completed, so make the Knowledge which is in youras possession, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood, to be in the descendants from youras progeny, for Iazwj will never Cut it off from the houses of the Prophetsas which is youras house and between Adamas, and Iazwj will never Leave the earth except that there will be in it a knowledgeable one by whom Myazwj Religion would be recognised by, and obedience to Meazwj would be recognised by, and salvation would lie in the ones who are born during what is in between the Capture (passing away) of a Prophetas up to the coming out of another Prophetas.

وَ بَشَّرَ نُوحٌ سَاماً بِهُودٍ (عليه السلام) وَ كَانَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ نُوحٍ وَ هُودٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) وَ قَالَ نُوحٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَاعِثٌ نَبِيّاً يُقَالُ لَهُ هُودٌ وَ إِنَّهُ يَدْعُو قَوْمَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيُكَذِّبُونَهُ وَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُهْلِكُهُمْ بِالرِّيحِ فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهُ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ بِهِ وَ لْيَتَّبِعْهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُنْجِيهِ مِنْ عَذَابِ الرِّيحِ وَ أَمَرَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) ابْنَهُ سَاماً أَنْ يَتَعَاهَدَ هَذِهِ الْوَصِيَّةَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ فَيَكُونَ يَوْمُئِذٍ عِيداً لَهُمْ

And Noahas gave the good news of Hudas to Saamas and there were Prophetsas in between Noahas and Hudas. And Noahas said that Allahazwj will Send a Prophetas called Hudas, and heas would call hisas people to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. They would belie himas and Allahazwj will Destroy them by the wind. So the ones among you who meet himas should believe in himas, and follow himas for Allahazwj would Rescue him from the Punishment of the wind. And Noahas ordered hisas sonas Samas that heas should look at this bequest at the start of every year and make it to be a day of Eid for them.

فَيَتَعَاهَدُونَ فِيهِ مَا عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الِاسْمِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ مَوَارِيثِ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارِ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ فَوَجَدُوا هُوداً نَبِيّاً (عليه السلام) وَ قَدْ بَشَّرَ بِهِ أَبُوهُمْ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) فَآمَنُوا بِهِ وَ اتَّبَعُوهُ وَ صَدَّقُوهُ فَنَجَوْا مِنْ عَذَابِ الرِّيحِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِلى عادٍ أَخاهُمْ هُوداً وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَذَّبَتْ عادٌ الْمُرْسَلِينَ إِذْ قالَ لَهُمْ أَخُوهُمْ هُودٌ أَ لا تَتَّقُونَ وَ قَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ وَصَّى بِها إِبْراهِيمُ بَنِيهِ وَ يَعْقُوبُ وَ قَوْلُهُ وَ وَهَبْنا لَهُ إِسْحاقَ وَ يَعْقُوبَ كُلًّا هَدَيْنا لِنَجْعَلَهَا فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ نُوحاً هَدَيْنا مِنْ قَبْلُ لِنَجْعَلَهَا فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فَآمَنَ الْعَقِبُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام)

So they observed that which was in their possession from the Knowledge, and the belief, and the Great Name, and the inheritance of the knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood. They found Hudas as a Prophetas and their father Noahas had given them the good news of himas beforehand. So they believed in himas, and followed himas, and ratified himas, and were therefore Rescued from the Punishment of the wind, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[7:65] And to Ad (We sent) their brother Hud”, and the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[26:123] (The people of) A'ad denied the Rasools (of Allah). [26:124] When their brother Hud said to them: Will you not guard (against evil)?”, and the Blessed and High Said: “[2:132] And the same did Ibrahim enjoin on his sons and (so did) Yaqoub”, and Hisazwj Statement: “[6:84] And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub and Made it to be in hisas Household ; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before,” and Made it to be in hisas Household, so the descendants of the Prophetsas believed in themas, and those that lived before Ibrahimas believed in Ibrahimas.

وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ هُودٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (صلوات الله عليهم) وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ما قَوْمُ لُوطٍ مِنْكُمْ بِبَعِيدٍ وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ فَآمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌ وَ قالَ إِنِّي مُهاجِرٌ إِلى رَبِّي وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِبْراهِيمَ إِذْ قالَ لِقَوْمِهِ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَ اتَّقُوهُ ذلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ فَجَرَى بَيْنَ كُلِّ نَبِيَّيْنِ عَشَرَةُ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَ تِسْعَةُ وَ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَنْبِيَاءَ كُلُّهُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ وَ جَرَى لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ مَا جَرَى لِنُوحٍ (صلوات الله عليه) وَ كَمَا جَرَى لآِدَمَ وَ هُودٍ وَ صَالِحٍ وَ شُعَيْبٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (صلوات الله عليه) حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَى يُوسُفَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ (عليهما السلام)

And there were Prophetsas in between Ibrahimas and Hudas and it is the Statement of Allahazwj; “[11:89], nor are the people of Lut far off from you”, and Hisazwj Statement, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention: “[29:26] And Lut believed in Him, and he said: I am fleeing to my Lord”, and the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[29:16] And (We sent) Ibrahim, when he said to his people: Serve Allah and be careful of (your duty to) Him; this is best for you, if you did but know”. So there came in between every two Prophetsas, ten, or nine, or eight Prophetsas, and all of them were Prophetsas, and there happened for every Prophetas what happened for Noahas, as is what had happened to Adamas, and Hudas, and Salihas, and Shuaybas, and Ibrahimas until it ended up to Yusuf Bin Yaqoubas.

ثُمَّ صَارَتْ مِنْ بَعْدِ يُوسُفَ فِي أَسْبَاطِ إِخْوَتِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَى مُوسَى (عليه السلام) فَكَانَ بَيْنَ يُوسُفَ وَ بَيْنَ مُوسَى مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ مُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ (عليهما السلام) إِلَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هَامَانَ وَ قَارُونَ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ الرُّسُلَ تَتْرَى كُلَّ ما جاءَ أُمَّةً رَسُولُها كَذَّبُوهُ فَأَتْبَعْنا بَعْضَهُمْ بَعْضاً وَ جَعَلْناهُمْ أَحادِيثَ وَ كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَقْتُلُ نَبِيّاً وَ اثْنَانِ قَائِمَانِ وَ يَقْتُلُونَ اثْنَيْنِ وَ أَرْبَعَةٌ قِيَامٌ حَتَّى أَنَّهُ كَانَ رُبَّمَا قَتَلُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الْوَاحِدِ سَبْعِينَ نَبِيّاً وَ يَقُومُ سُوقُ قَتْلِهِمْ آخِرَ النَّهَارِ

Then, from after Yusufas it went to the grandsons until it ended up to Musaas. And there were Prophetsas in between Yusufas and Musaas. So Allahazwj Sent Musaas and Harounas to Pharaohla, and Hamaanla, and Qarounla. “[23:44] Then We sent Our Rasools one after another; whenever there came to a people their Rasool, they called him a liar, so We made some of them follow others and We made them stories”. And the Children of Israel killed a Prophetas, and if two were established they killed two, and four would be established, to the extent that sometimes they killed seventy Prophetsas in one day, and they set up the market and killed themas at the end of the day. 

فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتِ التَّوْرَاةُ عَلَى مُوسَى (عليه السلام) بَشَّرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ يُوسُفَ وَ مُوسَى مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ كَانَ وَصِيُّ مُوسَى يُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونٍ (عليهما السلام) وَ هُوَ فَتَاهُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَلَمْ تَزَلِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ تُبَشِّرُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الْمَسِيحَ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ فَبَشَّرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى يَجِدُونَهُ يَعْنِي الْيَهُودَ وَ النَّصَارَى مَكْتُوباً يَعْنِي صِفَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عِنْدَهُمْ يَعْنِي فِي التَّوْراةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ يَنْهاهُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُخْبِرُ عَنْ عِيسَى وَ مُبَشِّراً بِرَسُولٍ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ وَ بَشَّرَ مُوسَى وَ عِيسَى بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) كَمَا بَشَّرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ (عليهم السلام) بَعْضُهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله)

So when the Torah was Revealed unto Musaas, it gave the good News of Muhammadsaww, and in between Yusufas and Musaas were Prophetsas. And Musaas had bequeathed to Yoshua bin Noonas and heas was the young man whom Allahazwj Mentioned in Hisazwj Book. The Prophetsas never ceased to give the good News of Muhammadsaww until Allahazwj Blessed and High Sent the Messiah Isa Bin Maryamas. So heas gave the good News of Muhammadsaww and that is the Statement of the High: “[7:157] they find meaning the Jews and the Christians written down with them meaning the description of Muhammadsaww in the Taurat and the Injeel (who) enjoins them good and forbids them evil,” and it is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[61:6] And when Isa son of Marium said giving the good news of an Rasool who will come after me, his name being Ahmad,”, and Musaas and Isaas gave the good news of Muhammadsaww just as the Prophetsas had given to one another until it reached Muhammadsaww.

فَلَمَّا قَضَى مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله) نُبُوَّتَهُ وَ اسْتُكْمِلَتْ أَيَّامُهُ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ نُبُوَّتَكَ وَ اسْتَكْمَلْتَ أَيَّامَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَقْطَعِ الْعِلْمَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ مِنَ الْعَقِبِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ كَمَا لَمْ أَقْطَعْهَا مِنْ بُيُوتَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ أَبِيكَ آدَمَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

So when the Prophet-hood of Muhammadsaww came to an end, and hissaww days were completed, Allahazwj Blessed and High Revealed unto himsaww: “O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww Prophet-hood has come to an end and yoursaww days are completed, so make the Knowledge which is in yoursaww possession, and the Belief, and the Great Name, and inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood to be in the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household in the possession of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, for Iazwj will never Cut off the Knowledge, and the belief, and the Great Name, and inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of Knowledge of the Prophet-hood from the descendants of yoursaww Progenyasws just as Iazwj never Cut it off from the Houses of the Prophetsas which were in between yousaww and yoursaww father Adamas, and that is the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[3:33] Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations [3:34] Offspring one of the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing”.

وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ جَهْلًا وَ لَمْ يَكِلْ أَمْرَهُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لَا إِلَى مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَ لَا نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ وَ لَكِنَّهُ أَرْسَلَ رَسُولًا مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قُلْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَمَرَهُمْ بِمَا يُحِبُّ وَ نَهَاهُمْ عَمَّا يَكْرَهُ فَقَصَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمْرَ خَلْقِهِ بِعِلْمٍ فَعَلِمَ ذَلِكَ الْعِلْمَ وَ عَلَّمَ أَنْبِيَاءَهُ وَ أَصْفِيَاءَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ فَقَدْ آتَيْنا آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ آتَيْناهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظِيماً

And Allahazwj Blessed and High never Makes the Knowledge to be among the ignorant ones, and never Allocates Hisazwj Command to anyone from Hisazwj creatures, not even to an Angel of Proximity, and not to a ‘نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ’ Mursal Nabias, but Heazwj Sends Rasools from Hisazwj Angels and Said to him: “Say such and such”. So Heazwj Commanded them with what Heazwj Loves and Prohibited them from what Heazwj Abhors. So Heazwj Related to them the affairs of Hisazwj creatures by the Knowledge. So Heazwj Taught that Knowledge, and Taught Hisazwj Prophetsas, and Hisazwj and the specials ones from the Prophetsas, and the brothers, and the descendants who were one from another, so that is the Statement of the Majestic and Mighty: “[4:54] But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom”.

فَأَمَّا الْكِتَابُ فَهُوَ النُّبُوَّةُ وَ أَمَّا الْحِكْمَةُ فَهُمُ الْحُكَمَاءُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِنَ الصَّفْوَةِ وَ أَمَّا الْمُلْكُ الْعَظِيمُ فَهُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ [الْهُدَاةُ] مِنَ الصَّفْوَةِ وَ كُلُّ هَؤُلَاءِ مِنَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ الْعُلَمَاءُ الَّذِينَ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمُ الْبَقِيَّةَ وَ فِيهِمُ الْعَاقِبَةَ وَ حِفْظَ الْمِيثَاقِ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَ لِوُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ اسْتِنْبَاطُ الْعِلْمِ وَ لِلْهُدَاةِ فَهَذَا شَأْنُ الْفُضَّلِ مِنَ الصَّفْوَةِ وَ الرُّسُلِ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَ أَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى وَ الْخُلَفَاءِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ وُلَاةُ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اسْتِنْبَاطِ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ أَهْلُ آثَارِ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ مِنَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ الَّتِي بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ مِنَ الصَّفْوَةِ بَعْدَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) مِنَ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

So, as for the Book, it is the Prophet-hood, and as for the Wisdom, so theyas are the wise ones from the Prophetsas from the elite, and as for the Great Kingdom, so theyasws are the Imamsasws of the guidance from the elite, and all of these are from the descendants who were one from the other.

And the knowledgeable ones are the one whom Allahazwj has Made to be among them the remainders, and in themasws is the eventual end, and the preservation of the Covenant until the world comes to an end. And the knowledgeable ones and the Guardians of the Command (Wali Ul Amr) are the interpreters of the Knowledge and the guidance. So this is the Glory of the elite and the Rasoolsas, and the Prophetsas, and the Wise ones, and the Imamsasws of guidance, and the Caliphs who are the Guardians of the Command of Allahazwj, and the interpreters of the Knowledge of Allahazwj, and the people of the effects of the Knowledge of Allahazwj from the descendants who are one from another from the elite after the Prophetsas from the fathers, and the brothers, and the descendants from the Prophetsas.

فَمَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِالْفُضَّلِ انْتَهَى بِعِلْمِهِمْ وَ نَجَا بِنُصْرَتِهِمْ وَ مَنْ وَضَعَ وُلَاةَ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَهْلَ اسْتِنْبَاطِ عِلْمِهِ فِي غَيْرِ الصَّفْوَةِ مِنْ بُيُوتَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) فَقَدْ خَالَفَ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ جَعَلَ الْجُهَّالَ وُلَاةَ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ بِغَيْرِ هُدًى مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ اسْتِنْبَاطِ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ كَذَبُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ رَغِبُوا عَنْ وَصِيِّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ طَاعَتِهِ وَ لَمْ يَضَعُوا فَضْلَ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَضَلُّوا وَ أَضَلُّوا أَتْبَاعَهُمْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ حُجَّةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

So the ones who sought protection by the merit ended up with theiras Knowledge and were rescued by theiras help, and the ones who placed the Guardians of the Command of Allahazwj and the people of the interpretation (Istanbaat[16]) in others than the elites from the Houses of the Prophetsas have opposed the Command of Allahazwj, and made the ignorant ones to be as the guardians of the command of Allahazwj (wali al-amr[17]), and the pretenders without guidance from Allahazwj and they claim that they are the ones who are the people of interpretation (Istanbaat) of the Knowledge of Allahazwj, so they have belied against Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and disregarded hissaww successorasws and being obedient to himasws, and did not place the Preference of Allahazwj where Allahazwj Blessed and High had Placed it. So they went astray and led astray those who followed them, and there will be no argument for them on the Day of Judgement.

إِنَّمَا الْحُجَّةُ فِي آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَقَدْ آتَيْنَا آلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكِتَابَ وَ الْحُكْمَ وَ النُّبُوَّةَ وَ آتَيْنَاهُمْ مُلْكاً عَظِيماً فَالْحُجَّةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ (عليهم السلام) وَ أَهْلُ بُيُوتَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ لِأَنَّ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ يَنْطِقُ بِذَلِكَ وَصِيَّةُ اللَّهِ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ الَّتِي وَضَعَهَا عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي بُيُوتٍ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُرْفَعَ وَ هِيَ بُيُوتَاتُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الرُّسُلِ وَ الْحُكَمَاءِ وَ أَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى

But rather, the Proof is among the Progeny of Ibrahimas as is in the Statement of Allahazwj: “[4:54] But indeed We have given to Ibrahim's children the Book and the wisdom, and We have given them a grand kingdom”. So the Proofs are the Prophetsas and the People of the Household of the Prophetsas until the Establishment of the Hour (Day of Judgement), because the Book of Allahazwj Speaks of that, the Will of Allahazwj some of them from the other which has been Placed upon the people, so the Mighty and Majestic Said: “[24:36] In houses which Allah has permitted to be exalted”, and these are the Houses of the Prophetsas, and the Rasoolsas, and the Wise ones, and the Imamsasws of Guidance.

فَهَذَا بَيَانُ عُرْوَةِ الْإِيمَانِ الَّتِي نَجَا بِهَا مَنْ نَجَا قَبْلَكُمْ وَ بِهَا يَنْجُو مَنْ يَتَّبِعُ الْأَئِمَّةَ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ نُوحاً هَدَيْنا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ داوُدَ وَ سُلَيْمانَ وَ أَيُّوبَ وَ يُوسُفَ وَ مُوسى وَ هارُونَ وَ كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ زَكَرِيَّا وَ يَحْيى وَ عِيسى وَ إِلْياسَ كُلٌّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ إِسْماعِيلَ وَ الْيَسَعَ وَ يُونُسَ وَ لُوطاً وَ كلًّا فَضَّلْنا عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ وَ مِنْ آبائِهِمْ وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْ وَ إِخْوانِهِمْ وَ اجْتَبَيْناهُمْ وَ هَدَيْناهُمْ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ

So these is the explanation of the firm belief by which gained salvation the ones who were before you, and by it was the Rescued the ones who followed the Imamsasws. And Allahazwj Said in Hisazwj Book: “[6:84] And We gave to him Ishaq and Yaqoub; each did We guide, and Nuh did We guide before, and of his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Haroun; and thus do We reward those who do good (to others). [6:85] And Zakariya and Yahya and Isa and Ilyas; every one was of the good [6:86] And Ismail and Al-Yasha and Yunus and Lut; and every one We made to excel (in) the worlds [6:87] And from among their fathers and their descendants and their brethren, and We chose them and guided them into the right way”.

أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ آتَيْناهُمُ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحُكْمَ وَ النُّبُوَّةَ فَإِنْ يَكْفُرْ بِها هؤُلاءِ فَقَدْ وَكَّلْنا بِها قَوْماً لَيْسُوا بِها بِكافِرِينَ فَإِنَّهُ وَكَّلَ بِالْفُضَّلِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنْ تَكْفُرْ بِهِ أُمَّتُكَ فَقَدْ وَكَّلْتُ أَهْلَ بَيْتِكَ بِالْإِيمَانِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ بِهِ فَلَا يَكْفُرُونَ بِهِ أَبَداً وَ لَا أُضِيعُ الْإِيمَانَ الَّذِي أَرْسَلْتُكَ بِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ عُلَمَاءِ أُمَّتِكَ وَ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِي بَعْدَكَ وَ أَهْلِ اسْتِنْبَاطِ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِيهِ كَذِبٌ وَ لَا إِثْمٌ وَ لَا زُورٌ وَ لَا بَطَرٌ وَ لَا رِيَاءٌ فَهَذَا بَيَانُ مَا يَنْتَهِي إِلَيْهِ أَمْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ

“[6:89] These are they to whom We gave the book and the wisdom and the prophecy; therefore if these disbelieve in it We have already entrusted with it a people who are not disbelievers in it”, for it has been Entrusted to the People from theiras Household, and the brothers, and the descendants, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High that if your people were to deny it so Heazwj has Entrusted it to the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household with the Belief which Heazwj Sent yousaww with. So they will never deny it ever, and will not waste the Belief which yousaww have been Sent with, the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household from after yousaww, the knowledgeable ones (Ulamaa) of yoursaww community, and the Guardians of Myazwj Command (Wali Al-Amr) after yousaww, and the people of the interpretation (Istinbaat) of the Knowledge in which there is lie, and no sin, and no forgery, and no arrogance, and no showing off. So this is the explanation of what ended up to himsaww of the matters of the community.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ طَهَّرَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّهِ (عليهم السلام) وَ سَأَلَهُمْ أَجْرَ الْمَوَدَّةِ وَ أَجْرَى لَهُمُ الْوَلَايَةَ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ أَوْصِيَاءَهُ وَ أَحِبَّاءَهُ ثَابِتَةً بَعْدَهُ فِي أُمَّتِهِ فَاعْتَبِرُوا يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فِيمَا قُلْتُ حَيْثُ وَضَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَلَايَتَهُ وَ طَاعَتَهُ وَ مَوَدَّتَهُ وَ اسْتِنْبَاطَ عِلْمِهِ وَ حُجَجَهُ فَإِيَّاهُ فَتَقَبَّلُوا وَ بِهِ فَاسْتَمْسِكُوا تَنْجُوا بِهِ وَ تَكُونُ لَكُمُ الْحُجَّةُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ طَرِيقُ رَبِّكُمْ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ لَا تَصِلُ وَلَايَةٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا بِهِمْ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكْرِمَهُ وَ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُ وَ مَنْ يَأْتِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِغَيْرِ مَا أَمَرَهُ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُذِلَّهُ وَ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُ.

Allahazwj Purified the Peopleasws of the Household of Hisazwj Prophetsaww, and asked them (the people) for the recompense of the cordiality (Muwaddat), and Made the ‘Wilayah’ to flow for themasws, and Made themasws to be the successorsasws, and Hisazwj Beloved ones. Hesaww Established it after himsaww in hissaww community: ‘O you people! Learn a lesson from what Isaww am saying to you. The place where Allahazwj has Placed Hisazwj Wilayah, and obedience to Himazwj, and Hisazwj cordiality, and the interpretation of Hisazwj Knowledge, and Hisazwj Proofs, so theseasws are the ones. So accept themasws, and attach yourselves to themasws in order to be Rescued by it, and it will become an argument for you on the Day of Judgement, and the Path of your Lordazwj Majestic and Mighty. And you cannot arrive to the Wilayah of Allahazwj except through themasws.

So the one who does that would have the right for Allahazwj to Honour him and not Punish him. And the one who comes to Allahazwj without what Heazwj has Commanded for, would have become deserving for Allahazwj to Humiliate him and Punish him’.

14541- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ ثَابِتِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الثُّمَالِيِّ وَ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ حَجَجْنَا مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ حَجَّ فِيهَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُ نَافِعٌ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فَنَظَرَ نَافِعٌ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي رُكْنِ الْبَيْتِ وَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي قَدْ تَدَاكَّ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ هَذَا نَبِيُّ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ اشْهَدْ لآَتِيَنَّهُ فَلَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ لَا يُجِيبُنِي فِيهَا إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوِ ابْنُ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ وَصِيُّ نَبِيٍّ قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ وَ سَلْهُ لَعَلَّكَ تُخْجِلُهُ

H 14541 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Hamza Sabit Bin Dinar Al-Thamaly and Abu Mansour, from Abu Al-Tabi’e who said:

‘We went on Pilgrimage with Abu Ja’farasws in the year in which Hisham Abdul Malik was performing the Pilgrimage as well, and along with him was Nafa’u, the retainer of Umar Bin Al-Khattaab. So Nafa’u looked towards Abu Ja’farasws in the corner of the House and the people had gathered around him’. Nafa’u said, ‘O Commander of the Faithful, who is this one around whom the people have gathered?’ He said, ‘This is a Prophet of the people of Al-Kufa. This is Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws’. He said, ‘Be a witness for I shall ask himasws about certain matters that nobody can answer with regards to it except for a Prophetas or a sonasws of a Prophetas, or a successorasws of a Prophetas’. He said, ‘So go ahead and ask himasws, perhaps you can embarrass himasws’.

فَجَاءَ نَافِعٌ حَتَّى اتَّكَأَ عَلَى النَّاسِ ثُمَّ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ التَّوْرَاةَ وَ الْإِنْجِيلَ وَ الزَّبُورَ وَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَ قَدْ عَرَفْتُ حَلَالَهَا وَ حَرَامَهَا وَ قَدْ جِئْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ لَا يُجِيبُ فِيهَا إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ أَوْ وَصِيُّ نَبِيٍّ أَوِ ابْنُ نَبِيٍّ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ سَلْ عَمَّا بَدَا لَكَ فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي كَمْ بَيْنَ عِيسَى وَ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ سَنَةٍ قَالَ أُخْبِرُكَ بِقَوْلِي أَوْ بِقَوْلِكَ قَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي بِالْقَوْلَيْنِ جَمِيعاً قَالَ أَمَّا فِي قَوْلِي فَخَمْسُمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ وَ أَمَّا فِي قَوْلِكَ فَسِتُّمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ

So Nafa’u came until he leaned upon the people, until he was higher than Abu Ja’farasws. He said, ‘O Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws! I have read the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqaan (Quran), and have understood their Permissibles, and their Prohibitions, and I have come to ask youasws about certain matters that none can answer with regards to it except for a Prophetas, or a successorasws of a Prophetas, or sonasws of a Prophetas’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Ja’farasws raised hisasws head and said; ‘Ask, or shall Iasws begin for you?’ He said, ‘Inform me, how many years were there in between Isaas and Muhammadsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Shall Iasws inform you in accordance to your words or to mineasws?’ He said, ‘Inform me in accordance to both together’. Heasws said: ‘In accordance to myasws words, so there were five hundred years, and in accordance to your words there were six hundred years’.

قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ وَ سْئَلْ مَنْ أَرْسَلْنا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ مِنْ رُسُلِنا أَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ دُونِ الرَّحْمنِ آلِهَةً يُعْبَدُونَ مَنِ الَّذِي سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عِيسَى خَمْسُمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ قَالَ فَتَلَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ سُبْحانَ الَّذِي أَسْرى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بارَكْنا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آياتِنا فَكَانَ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي أَرَاهَا اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) حَيْثُ أَسْرَى بِهِ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ أَنْ حَشَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) فَأَذَّنَ شَفْعاً وَ أَقَامَ شَفْعاً وَ قَالَ فِي أَذَانِهِ حَيَّ عَلَى خَيْرِ الْعَمَلِ ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَصَلَّى بِالْقَوْمِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لَهُمْ عَلَى مَا تَشْهَدُونَ وَ مَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْبُدُونَ قَالُوا نَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَخَذَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عُهُودَنَا وَ مَوَاثِيقَنَا

He said, ‘So inform me about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic to Hisazwj Prophetsaww: “[43:45] And ask those of Our Rasools whom We sent before you: Did We ever appoint gods to be worshipped besides the Beneficent Allah?” who was the one that Muhammadsaww asked since there were five hundred years in between himsaww and Isaas?’

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘This is the Verse: “[17:1] Glory be to Him Who made His servant to go on a night from the Sacred Mosque to the remote mosque of which We have blessed the precincts, so that We may show to him some of Our signs; surely He is the Hearing, the Seeing”, so Allahazwj Blessed and High Showed to Muhammadsaww certain Signs when Heazwj Made himsaww to travel to the Bayt Al-Maqdas, was that Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, Resurrected from the former ones and the later ones, Prophetsas and Rasoolsas, then Commanded Jibraeelas to Call out the Adhaan and the Iqamah.

And he said in his Adhaan “Hurry to the Best of the deeds” (Hayya Ala Khayr Al-Amal). Then Muhammadsaww proceeded and Prayed with the people. When hesaww had finished, hesaww asked them: ‘What did you testify to and what did you worship?’ They replied, ‘We testified that there is no god except Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and that yousaww are the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, and it is upon that, that Heazwj Took a Covenant from us and the Confirmation’.

فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ صَدَقْتَ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ وَ لَمْ يَرَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ كانَتا رَتْقاً فَفَتَقْناهُما قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا أَهْبَطَ آدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ كَانَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ رَتْقاً لَا تَمْطُرُ شَيْئاً وَ كَانَتِ الْأَرْضُ رَتْقاً لَا تُنْبِتُ شَيْئاً فَلَمَّا أَنْ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى آدَمَ (عليه السلام) أَمَرَ السَّمَاءَ فَتَقَطَّرَتْ بِالْغَمَامِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَهَا فَأَرْخَتْ عَزَالِيَهَا ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْأَرْضَ فَأَنْبَتَتِ الْأَشْجَارَ وَ أَثْمَرَتِ الثِّمَارَ وَ تَفَهَّقَتْ بِالْأَنْهَارِ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ رَتْقَهَا وَ هَذَا فَتْقَهَا

So Nafa’u said, ‘Youasws have spoken the truth, O Abu Ja’farasws! So Inform me about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[21:30] Do not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were closed up, but We have opened them”. Heasws said: ‘When Allahazwj Blessed and High Sent Adamas to the earth, and the skies were closed up and did not rain at all, and the earth was closed up and did not grow any vegetation. So when Allahazwj Accepted the repentance of Adamas, Heazwj Commanded the sky, so it collected rain in the clouds. Then Heazwj Commanded it, so it allowed it to fall. Then Heazwj Commanded the earth, so it produced the trees, and the fruits, and the rivers flowed. So that is (what is meant by) ‘closed up’, and this is (what is meant by) ‘it opened up’’.

قَالَ نَافِعٌ صَدَقْتَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّماواتُ أَيُّ أَرْضٍ تُبَدَّلُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَرْضٌ تَبْقَى خُبْزَةً يَأْكُلُونَ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الْحِسَابِ فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ الْأَكْلِ لَمَشْغُولُونَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَ هُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَشْغَلُ أَمْ إِذْ هُمْ فِي النَّارِ فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ بَلْ إِذْ هُمْ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا شَغَلَهُمْ إِذْ دَعَوْا بِالطَّعَامِ فَأُطْعِمُوا الزَّقُّومَ وَ دَعَوْا بِالشَّرَابِ فَسُقُوا الْحَمِيمَ

Nafa’u said, ‘Youasws had spoken the truth, O sonasws of the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj. So inform me about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[14:48] On the day when the earth shall be changed into a different earth, and the heavens (as well)”. Which earth would it be replaced by on the Day?’ So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘It will be the ground which would become edible, from which they will be eating until such time as Allahazwj has Completed the Accounting’.

Nafa’u said, ‘They would be busy (with the accounting) instead to eating’. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Would they be busy on that Day or would they be in the Fire?’ Nafa’u said, ‘But they would be in the Fire’. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, they would not be busy, it’s just that when they call for the food, so they will be fed the Zaqoom (a tree in Hell), and they will call for drink and they will be quenched with Al-Hameem (a river of Hell)’.

قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ لَقَدْ بَقِيَتْ مَسْأَلَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ قَالَ وَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مَتَى كَانَ قَالَ وَيْلَكَ مَتَى لَمْ يَكُنْ حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكَ مَتَى كَانَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَ لَا يَزَالُ فَرْداً صَمَداً لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً

He said, ‘Youasws has spoken the truth, O sonasws of the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, and there remains one question’. Heasws said: ‘And what is that?’ He said, ‘Inform me about Allahazwj Blessed and High, when (did Heazwj Exist) from?’ Heasws said: ‘Woe be unto you. When was heazwj not from that Iasws inform you when Heazwj was from? Glory be to the One Whoazwj always Was and will never cease to Be, Alone, Eternal, Heazwj has not Taken any associate nor a son’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَافِعُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّا أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُ قَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي أَصْحَابِ النَّهْرَوَانِ فَإِنْ قُلْتَ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ بِحَقٍّ فَقَدِ ارْتَدَدْتَ وَ إِنْ قُلْتَ إِنَّهُ قَتَلَهُمْ بَاطِلًا فَقَدْ كَفَرْتَ قَالَ فَوَلَّى مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ حَقّاً حَقّاً فَأَتَى هِشَاماً فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا صَنَعْتَ قَالَ دَعْنِي مِنْ كَلَامِكَ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمُ النَّاسِ حَقّاً حَقّاً وَ هُوَ ابْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حَقّاً وَ يَحِقُّ لِأَصْحَابِهِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذُوهُ نَبِيّاً.

Then heasws said: ‘O Nafa’u, inform me of what Iasws ask you about’. He said, ‘And what is it?’ Heasws said: ‘What do you say about the companions of Nahrwaan (a battle), for if you say that Amir-ul-Momineenasws killed them rightfully, therefore they were apostates, and if you were to say then heasws killed them wrongly, so you would have blasphemed’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He turned around from those that were with him, and he was saying, ‘By Allahazwj, youasws are truly the most knowledgeable of the people’. So he came to Hisham who asked, ‘What did you do?’ He said, ‘Leave me from your speech. By Allahazwj, this oneasws is truly the most knowledgeable of the people, and heasws is truly the sonasws of the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, and hisasws companions are quite right in taking himasws as a Prophetas’.

حَدِيثُ نَصْرَانِيِّ الشَّامِ مَعَ الْبَاقِرِ (عليه السلام)

HADEETH OF THE SYRIAN CHRISTIAN WITH AL-BAQIRasws

14542- عَنْهُ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ أَخْرَجَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَأَنْزَلَهُ مِنْهُ وَ كَانَ يَقْعُدُ مَعَ النَّاسِ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ قَاعِدٌ وَ عِنْدَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ إِذْ نَظَرَ إِلَى النَّصَارَى يَدْخُلُونَ فِي جَبَلٍ هُنَاكَ فَقَالَ مَا لِهَؤُلَاءِ أَ لَهُمْ عِيدٌ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالُوا لَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ يَأْتُونَ عَالِماً لَهُمْ فِي هَذَا الْجَبَلِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ فَيَسْأَلُونَهُ عَمَّا يُرِيدُونَ وَ عَمَّا يَكُونُ فِي عَامِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ لَهُ عِلْمٌ فَقَالُوا هُوَ مِنْ أَعْلَمِ النَّاسِ قَدْ أَدْرَكَ أَصْحَابَ الْحَوَارِيِّينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) قَالَ فَهَلْ نَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ قَالُوا ذَاكَ إِلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

H 14542 – From him, from Ismail Bin Abaan, from Umar Bin Abdullah Al-Saqafy who said:

‘Hisham Bin Abdul Malik made Abu Ja’farasws to go out from Al-Medina to Al-Shaam. He made himasws to stay in his accommodation, and heasws used to sit with the people in their gatherings. It so happened that heasws was sitting and in hisasws presence was a group of people asking him, when heasws saw Christians entering inside a mountain over there. So heasws said: ‘What is with those, is it one of their festivities today?’ They said, ‘No, O sonasws of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, but they are going to one of their scholars who (stays) inside this mountain all year long, and on this day he has come out. So they are asking him questions what they want and what is to happen in their year’. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And he has knowledge?’ They said, ‘He is one of the most knowledgeable of the people. He has met the companions of the disciples of Isaas’. Heasws said: ‘Shall we go to him?’ They said, ‘That is up to youasws, O sonasws of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj’.

قَالَ فَقَنَّعَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) رَأْسَهُ بِثَوْبِهِ وَ مَضَى هُوَ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَاخْتَلَطُوا بِالنَّاسِ حَتَّى أَتَوُا الْجَبَلَ فَقَعَدَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَسْطَ النَّصَارَى هُوَ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ أَخْرَجَ النَّصَارَى بِسَاطاً ثُمَّ وَضَعُوا الْوَسَائِدَ ثُمَّ دَخَلُوا فَأَخْرَجُوهُ ثُمَّ رَبَطُوا عَيْنَيْهِ فَقَلَّبَ عَيْنَيْهِ كَأَنَّهُمَا عَيْنَا أَفْعًى ثُمَّ قَصَدَ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا شَيْخُ أَ مِنَّا أَنْتَ أَمْ مِنَ الْأُمَّةِ الْمَرْحُومَةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) بَلْ مِنَ الْأُمَّةِ الْمَرْحُومَةِ فَقَالَ أَ فَمِنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ أَنْتَ أَمْ مِنْ جُهَّالِهِمْ فَقَالَ لَسْتُ مِنْ جُهَّالِهِمْ فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ أَسْأَلُكَ أَمْ تَسْأَلُنِي فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) سَلْنِي فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّصَارَى رَجُلٌ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَقُولُ سَلْنِي إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَلِي‏ءٌ بِالْمَسَائِلِ

He (the narrator) said: ‘Abu Ja’farasws covered hisasws head by hisasws cloth, and went with hisasws companions. Heasws mingled with the Christians until heasws came to the mountain. Abu Ja’farasws sat down in the middle of the Christians along with hisasws companions, and the Christians brought out a carpet and placed the pillows. Then they entered and brought him out with his eyes covered. His eyes stirred as if they were the eyes of a snake. Then he inadvertently turned towards Abu Ja’farasws and asked, ‘O Sheykh, where are youasws from, or are youasws from the Mercied community?’ So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘But, Iasws am from the Mercied community’. He said, ‘Are youasws from their knowledgeable ones or from their ignorant ones?’ Heasws said: ‘Iasws am not from the ignorant ones’. The Christian said, ‘Shall I ask you or you will ask me?’ Abu Ja’far said: ‘Ask measws’. So the Christian said, ‘O group of Christians, a man from the community of Muhammadsaww is saying, ‘Ask me!’. This one is full of answers’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ سَاعَةٍ مَا هِيَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَ لَا مِنَ النَّهَارِ أَيُّ سَاعَةٍ هِيَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ فَإِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ مِنْ سَاعَاتِ اللَّيْلِ وَ لَا مِنْ سَاعَاتِ النَّهَارِ فَمِنْ أَيِّ السَّاعَاتِ هِيَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مِنْ سَاعَاتِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ فِيهَا تُفِيقُ مَرْضَانَا

Then he said, ‘O servant of Allahazwj, inform me about the hour which is neither from the night, nor from the day. Which hour is it?’ Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘That which is in between the dawn and sunrise’. So the Christian said, ‘So if it is neither an hour from the hours of the night, nor from the hours of the day, from which is it?’ Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘From the hours of the Paradise, and in which our patients are relieved (from pain).

فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَمْ تَسْأَلُنِي فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) سَلْنِي فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّصَارَى إِنَّ هَذَا لَمَلِي‏ءٌ بِالْمَسَائِلِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ كَيْفَ صَارُوا يَأْكُلُونَ وَ لَا يَتَغَوَّطُونَ أَعْطِنِي مَثَلَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) هَذَا الْجَنِينُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ يَأْكُلُ مِمَّا تَأْكُلُ أُمُّهُ وَ لَا يَتَغَوَّطُ فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ أَ لَمْ تَقُلْ مَا أَنَا مِنْ عُلَمَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ لَكَ مَا أَنَا مِنْ جُهَّالِهِمْ

So the Christian said, ‘Shall I ask youasws or will you ask me?’ Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Ask measws’. The Christian said, ‘O group of Christians, this one here is full of knowledge. Inform me about the inhabitants of the Paradise. How would they be eating but will not be excreting? Give me their example in the world’. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The unborn (baby) which is in the womb of its mother eats from what its mother eats but does not excrete’. So the Christian said, ‘Did you not say, ‘Iasws am not from the knowledgeable ones?’ Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘But rather, Iasws said to you that Iasws am not from the ignorant ones’.

فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَوْ تَسْأَلُنِي فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) سَلْنِي فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّصَارَى وَ اللَّهِ لَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ يَرْتَطِمُ فِيهَا كَمَا يَرْتَطِمُ الْحِمَارُ فِي الْوَحْلِ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْ فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ دَنَا مِنِ امْرَأَتِهِ فَحَمَلَتْ بِاثْنَيْنِ حَمَلَتْهُمَا جَمِيعاً فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ وَلَدَتْهُمَا فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ مَاتَا فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ دُفِنَا فِي قَبْرٍ وَاحِدٍ عَاشَ أَحَدُهُمَا خَمْسِينَ وَ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ وَ عَاشَ الْآخَرُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً مَنْ هُمَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عُزَيْرٌ وَ عَزْرَةُ كَانَا حَمَلَتْ أُمُّهُمَا بِهِمَا عَلَى مَا وَصَفْتَ وَ وَضَعَتْهُمَا عَلَى مَا وَصَفْتَ وَ عَاشَ عُزَيْرٌ وَ عَزْرَةُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا سَنَةً ثُمَّ أَمَاتَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عُزَيْراً مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ ثُمَّ بُعِثَ وَ عَاشَ مَعَ عَزْرَةَ هَذِهِ الْخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً وَ مَاتَا كِلَاهُمَا فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ

So the Christian said, ‘Shall I ask youasws or will youasws ask me?’ Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Ask measws’. He said, ‘O group of Christians! By Allahazwj, I will ask him about a matter which would bog himasws down just as the donkey gets bogged down in the mud’. Heasws said to him: ‘Ask’. He said, ‘Inform me about a man who approached his woman, so she became pregnant with twins in the same one hour, and gave birth to both of them in the same one hour, and they both died in the same one hour, and were buried in the same one grave. One of them lived for one hundred and fifty years whilst the other one lived for fifty years. Who were those two?’ So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Uzayr and Uzrat. Their mother became pregnant with them both as you have described, and gave birth to both of them as you have described, and both Uzayr and Uzrat lived for such and such a time. Then Allahazwj Blessed and High Made Uzayr to die for a hundred years, then Resurrected him, and he lived with Uzrat for fifty years, and both of them died in the same one hour’.

فَقَالَ النَّصْرَانِيُّ يَا مَعْشَرَ النَّصَارَى مَا رَأَيْتُ بِعَيْنِي قَطُّ أَعْلَمَ مِنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ حَرْفٍ وَ هَذَا بِالشَّامِ رُدُّونِي قَالَ فَرَدُّوهُ إِلَى كَهْفِهِ وَ رَجَعَ النَّصَارَى مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام)

So the Christian said, ‘O group of Christians. I have not see with my eyes ever a more knowledgeable one than this manasws. Do not ask me about a single letter (anything at all) so long as this one is in Al-Shaam. Return me’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So they returned him to his cave, and the Christians returned with Abu Ja’farasws’.

HADEETH OF ABU AL-HASSAN MUSAasws

14543- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ الْخُزَاعِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ وَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ فِي الْحَبْسِ كِتَاباً أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ حَالِهِ وَ عَنْ مَسَائِلَ كَثِيرَةٍ فَاحْتَبَسَ الْجَوَابُ عَلَيَّ أَشْهُراً ثُمَّ أَجَابَنِي بِجَوَابٍ هَذِهِ نُسْخَتُهُ

H 14543 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Muhammad Bin Mansour Al-Khuzai’e, from Ali Bin Suweyd and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Yazi’e, from his uncle Hamza bin Yazi’e, from Ali Bin Suweyd and Al-Hassan Biin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al-Nahdy, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Muhammad bin Mansour, from Ali Bin Suweyd who said:

‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws whilst heasws was in the solitary confinement. I wrote asking himasws about hisasws condition and about numerous matters. The answer did not come for months, then heasws answered me by an answer and this is its copy: -

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي بِعَظَمَتِهِ وَ نُورِهِ أَبْصَرَ قُلُوبَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ بِعَظَمَتِهِ وَ نُورِهِ عَادَاهُ الْجَاهِلُونَ وَ بِعَظَمَتِهِ وَ نُورِهِ ابْتَغَى مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَيْهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ بِالْأَعْمَالِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ وَ الْأَدْيَانِ الْمُتَضَادَّةِ فَمُصِيبٌ وَ مُخْطِئٌ وَ ضَالٌّ وَ مُهْتَدٍ وَ سَمِيعٌ وَ أَصَمُّ وَ بَصِيرٌ وَ أَعْمَى حَيْرَانُ فَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَرَفَ وَ وَصَفَ دِينَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله)

In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. Praise be to the High, the Magnificent. It is by Hisazwj Greatness and Hisazwj Light the hearts of the ‘الْمُؤْمِنِينَ’ (believers) achieve vision, and by Hisazwj Greatness and Hisazwj Light, (whereas) the ignorant ones are inimical to Himazwj, and by Hisazwj Greatness and Hisazwj Light crave the ones in the heavens and in the earth and to Himazwj is the Means by the different deeds and the contradictory Religions. So the rightful, and the mistaken, and the stray, and the guided, and the hearing, and the deaf, and the seeing, and the blind ones are perplexed. So the Praise Belongs to Allahazwj Whose Religion was recognised and described by Muhammadsaww.

أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ أَنْزَلَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِمَنْزِلَةٍ خَاصَّةٍ وَ حَفِظَ مَوَدَّةَ مَا اسْتَرْعَاكَ مِنْ دِينِهِ وَ مَا أَلْهَمَكَ مِنْ رُشْدِكَ وَ بَصَّرَكَ مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِكَ بِتَفْضِيلِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ وَ بِرَدِّكَ الْأُمُورَ إِلَيْهِمْ كَتَبْتَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ أُمُورٍ كُنْتُ مِنْهَا فِي تَقِيَّةٍ وَ مِنْ كِتْمَانِهَا فِي سَعَةٍ فَلَمَّا انْقَضَى سُلْطَانُ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ جَاءَ سُلْطَانُ ذِي السُّلْطَانِ الْعَظِيمِ بِفِرَاقِ الدُّنْيَا الْمَذْمُومَةِ إِلَى أَهْلِهَا الْعُتَاةِ عَلَى خَالِقِهِمْ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أُفَسِّرَ لَكَ مَا سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ الْحَيْرَةُ عَلَى ضُعَفَاءِ شِيعَتِنَا مِنْ قِبَلِ جَهَالَتِهِمْ

Having said that, you are of the people whom Allahazwj has Blessed by Sending the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww (towards you and) and by special status, and Preserved the cordiality which attracted you to Hisazwj Religion, and what Heazwj has Inspired from your guidance and your vision from the matters of your Religion that you give preference to themasws and are referring your matters to themasws. You wrote to measws asking measws about matters which Iasws was observing dissimulation in and concealed them for a while. So when the authority of the tyrant passed by, and there came the authority of the Oneazwj with Great Authority, by myasws departing from the world which has been condemned by its inhabitants who have hardened themselves against their Creator, Iasws saw that Iasws could explain to you what you had asked measws about, fearing that ourasws weak Shiites may enter into confusion because of the ignorance which is in front of them.

فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ خُصَّ لِذَلِكَ الْأَمْرِ أَهْلَهُ وَ احْذَرْ أَنْ تَكُونَ سَبَبَ بَلِيَّةٍ عَلَى الْأَوْصِيَاءِ أَوْ حَارِشاً عَلَيْهِمْ بِإِفْشَاءِ مَا اسْتَوْدَعْتُكَ وَ إِظْهَارِ مَا اسْتَكْتَمْتُكَ وَ لَنْ تَفْعَلَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

So fear Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, and single out for these matters, its deserving ones, and be cautious that you should become a reason for the calamities against the successorsasws or provoking (people) against themasws by publicising what Iasws am entrusting you with and exposing what Iasws have told you to conceal, and Allahazwj Willing, you will not do this.

إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا أُنْهِي إِلَيْكَ أَنِّي أَنْعَى إِلَيْكَ نَفْسِي فِي لَيَالِيَّ هَذِهِ غَيْرَ جَازِعٍ وَ لَا نَادِمٍ وَ لَا شَاكٍّ فِيمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِمَّا قَدْ قَضَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ حَتَمَ فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِعُرْوَةِ الدِّينِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى الْوَصِيِّ بَعْدَ الْوَصِيِّ وَ الْمُسَالَمَةِ لَهُمْ وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا قَالُوا وَ لَا تَلْتَمِسْ دِينَ مَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ شِيعَتِكَ وَ لَا تُحِبَّنَّ دِينَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْخَائِنُونَ الَّذِينَ خَانُوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ خَانُوا أَمَانَاتِهِمْ وَ تَدْرِي مَا خَانُوا أَمَانَاتِهِمُ ائْتُمِنُوا عَلَى كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَحَرَّفُوهُ وَ بَدَّلُوهُ وَ دُلُّوا عَلَى وُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ فَانْصَرَفُوا عَنْهُمْ فَأَذَاقَهُمُ اللَّهُ لِبَاسَ الْجُوعِ وَ الْخَوْفِ بِمَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ

Firstly what Iasws would like to inform you is that you should mourn for myselfasws in this very night without remorse and no complaints, for what is to transpire is from what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Ordained and is inevitable. So attach yourself to the Handle of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and the Firmest Handle of the successorasws after the successorasws, and the submission to themasws and be pleased with what theyasws say, and do not seek Religion from the ones who are not from your Shiites, and do not love their Religion, for they are traitors who have betrayed Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and betrayed their trusts. And do you know how they betrayed their trusts? They were entrusted with the Book of Allahazwj so they distorted it and changed it, and evidenced it upon the rulers among them. So stay away from them. Allahazwj has Made them to Taste the clothing of the hunger, and the fear due to what they had done.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ رَجُلَيْنِ اغْتَصَبَا رَجُلًا مَالًا كَانَ يُنْفِقُهُ عَلَى الْفُقَرَاءِ وَ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ أَبْنَاءِ السَّبِيلِ وَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا اغْتَصَبَاهُ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَرْضَيَا حَيْثُ غَصَبَاهُ حَتَّى حَمَّلَاهُ إِيَّاهُ كُرْهاً فَوْقَ رَقَبَتِهِ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمَا فَلَمَّا أَحْرَزَاهُ تَوَلَّيَا إِنْفَاقَهُ أَ يَبْلُغَانِ بِذَلِكَ كُفْراً فَلَعَمْرِي لَقَدْ نَافَقَا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ رَدَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَلَامَهُ وَ هَزِئَا بِرَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) وَ هُمَا الْكَافِرَانِ عَلَيْهِمَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَخَلَ قَلْبَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ مُنْذُ خُرُوجِهِمَا مِنْ حَالَتَيْهِمَا وَ مَا ازْدَادَا إِلَّا شَكّاً كَانَا خَدَّاعَيْنِ مُرْتَابَيْنِ مُنَافِقَيْنِ حَتَّى تَوَفَّتْهُمَا مَلَائِكَةُ الْعَذَابِ إِلَى مَحَلِّ الْخِزْيِ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامِ

And you asked about two men (Abu Bakr and Umar) who usurped the wealth of a man which he used to spend upon the poor and the needy and the traveller in need, and in the Way of Allahazwj. So when they usurped that, they were not happy until they made him carry it unwillingly upon his ride to their own homes. When they undertook to be in charge of its spending, and so reached infidelity by doing that. By myasws life, they had become hypocrites before that and rejected against Allahazwj Hisazwj Words, and mocked at Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and they were both infidels. May Allahazwj Curse them, and the Angels, and the people altogether.

By Allahazwj, the ‘Eman’ (belief) did not enter into the heart of any one of them since their coming out from their condition (Kufr), and it did not increase them in anything except for doubts. They were deceivers, sceptical, hypocrites until they both died and the Angels of Punishment took them to the place of disgrace in the eternal abode.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَمَّنْ حَضَرَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلَ وَ هُوَ يُغْصَبُ مَالُهُ وَ يُوضَعُ عَلَى رَقَبَتِهِ مِنْهُمْ عَارِفٌ وَ مُنْكِرٌ فَأُولَئِكَ أَهْلُ الرَّدَّةِ الْأُولَى مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَعَلَيْهِمْ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

And you asked about those who were in the presence of that man whilst he was usurping his wealth and placed it upon his ride, and there were among them who knew about it and denied it. So those (Abu Bakr and Umar) are the first apostates from this community, and so may the Curse of Allahazwj and the Angels and all the people be upon them.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ مَبْلَغِ عِلْمِنَا وَ هُوَ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ وُجُوهٍ مَاضٍ وَ غَابِرٌ وَ حَادِثٌ فَأَمَّا الْمَاضِي فَمُفَسَّرٌ وَ أَمَّا الْغَابِرُ فَمَزْبُورٌ وَ أَمَّا الْحَادِثُ فَقَذْفٌ فِي الْقُلُوبِ وَ نَقْرٌ فِي الْأَسْمَاعِ وَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ عِلْمِنَا وَ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله)

And you asked about extent of ourasws Knowledge, and it is upon three aspects. The past, and the future, and the newly recurring. So as for the past, it has been explained, and as for the future, it has been written down, and as for that which is newly occurring, so it gets imprinted upon the hearts, and resonated in the ears, and it is the highest of ourasws Knowledge, and there is no Prophetas after ourasws Prophetsaww.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ أُمَّهَاتِ أَوْلَادِهِمْ وَ عَنْ نِكَاحِهِمْ وَ عَنْ طَلَاقِهِمْ فَأَمَّا أُمَّهَاتُ أَوْلَادِهِمْ فَهُنَّ عَوَاهِرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ نِكَاحٌ بِغَيْرِ وَلِيٍّ وَ طَلَاقٌ فِي غَيْرِ عِدَّةٍ وَ أَمَّا مَنْ دَخَلَ فِي دَعْوَتِنَا فَقَدْ هَدَمَ إِيمَانُهُ ضَلَالَهُ وَ يَقِينُهُ شَكَّهُ

And you asked about the mothers of their children (the followers of those two), and about their marriages, and about their divorces. So, as for the mothers of their children, they are prostitutes up to the Day of Judgement, having married without a guardian (Wali’s consent), and going through divorces without (completing the) waiting periods. And as for the one who enters into ourasws Invitation (call to Wilayah), so his ‘Eman’ demolishes his misguidance, and so does his ‘Yaqeen’ conviction (demolish) his doubts.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنِ الزَّكَاةِ فِيهِمْ فَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الزَّكَاةِ فَأَنْتُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهِ لِأَنَّا قَدْ حَلَّلْنَا ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ وَ أَيْنَ كَانَ

And you asked about the Zakaat among them. So, there was nothing from the Zakaat (for them), as you are more deserving of it, because weasws have made that to be lawful for you, and those who are from you wherever they may be.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنِ الضُّعَفَاءِ فَالضَّعِيفُ مَنْ لَمْ يُرْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ حُجَّةٌ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الِاخْتِلَافَ فَإِذَا عَرَفَ الِاخْتِلَافَ فَلَيْسَ بِضَعِيفٍ

And you asked about the weak. So the weak is the one who cannot argue against (the batil) and he does not understand the differences, for if he understands the difference, then he is not with the weakness.

وَ سَأَلْتَ عَنِ الشَّهَادَاتِ لَهُمْ فَأَقِمِ الشَّهَادَةَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَوْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَإِنْ خِفْتَ عَلَى أَخِيكَ ضَيْماً فَلَا وَ ادْعُ إِلَى شَرَائِطِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمَعْرِفَتِنَا مَنْ رَجَوْتَ إِجَابَتَهُ وَ لَا تَحَصَّنْ بِحِصْنِ رِيَاءٍ وَ وَالِ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَقُلْ لِمَا بَلَغَكَ عَنَّا وَ نُسِبَ إِلَيْنَا هَذَا بَاطِلٌ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْرِفُ مِنَّا خِلَافَهُ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي لِمَا قُلْنَاهُ وَ عَلَى أَيِّ وَجْهٍ وَصَفْنَاهُ آمِنْ بِمَا أُخْبِرُكَ وَ لَا تُفْشِ مَا اسْتَكْتَمْنَاكَ مِنْ خَبَرِكَ

You asked about the ‘الشَّهَادَاتِ’ testimonies for them. So establish the testimony for the sake of Allahazwj, even if it is against your own-self, and the parents and the relatives in what is between you and them. So if you fear injustice against your brother, don’t (be part of it). And call to the Law of Allahazwj, as Heazwj has (placed those) in ourasws recognition (Ma’rifat). The one who hopes would be Answered and do not barricade yourself by the fort of hypocrisy. And befriend the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww and do not speak of what reaches you from usasws, and ascribe to us that ‘this is false’, and you may know something from usasws which is against it, for you do not know why weasws may have said it, and upon which perspective we may have described it. Believe in what Iasws inform youasws and do not publicise what Iasws have told you to conceal from what Iasws inform you.

إِنَّ مِنْ وَاجِبِ حَقِّ أَخِيكَ أَنْ لَا تَكْتُمَهُ شَيْئاً تَنْفَعُهُ بِهِ لِأَمْرِ دُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ وَ لَا تَحْقِدَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ أَسَاءَ وَ أَجِبْ دَعْوَتَهُ إِذَا دَعَاكَ وَ لَا تُخَلِّ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عَدُوِّهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْكَ وَ عُدْهُ فِي مَرَضِهِ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْغِشُّ وَ لَا الْأَذَى وَ لَا الْخِيَانَةُ وَ لَا الْكِبْرُ وَ لَا الْخَنَا وَ لَا الْفُحْشُ وَ لَا الْأَمْرُ بِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمُشَوَّهَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ فِي جَحْفَلٍ جَرَّارٍ فَانْتَظِرْ فَرَجَكَ وَ لِشِيعَتِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَارْفَعْ بَصَرَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ انْظُرْ مَا فَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْمُجْرِمِينَ فَقَدْ فَسَّرْتُ لَكَ جُمَلًا مُجْمَلًا وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الْأَخْيَارِ.

It is from the obligatory right of your brother that you do not conceal anything from him which might benefit him in the affairs of the world and the Hereafter. And do not hold a grudge against him and not to hurt him, and answer his call when he calls you and do not leave him alone between him and his enemies from the people even though they may be closer to you than him, and support him in his illness.

It is not from etiquettes of the ‘الْمُؤْمِنِينَ’ Believers, the defrauding, and the injuring, and the treachery, and the arrogance, and the vulgarities, and the immoralities, and the commanding for such things. So if you were to see the deformed Bedouin in legions (large armies), so wait for your relief (Al-Qaimasws), and for your Shiites, the believers, and when the sun rises, raise your vision to the sky and look at what Allahazwj has Done with the criminals. So Iasws have explained to you all of this in summary. And send greetings upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws, the righteous’.

H 14544 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Ayyub and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father altogether from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Dharrar came to the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj and said, ‘O Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, Iasws have begun disliking Al-Medina. Will yousaww permit measws, and that Iar and the son of myar brother go out to Muzeyna, for we are from it?’ Hesaww said: ‘Isaww fear that youar might be attacked by Arab horsemen, so they would kill the son of yourar brother and you will come to mesaww beaten up, and stand in front of mesaww leaning upon your stick and you will say, ‘The son of myar brother has been killed, and the cattle taken away’. Hear said, ‘O Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, but nothing will happen except for the good, Allahazwj Willing’. So the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj gave himar permission.

فَخَرَجَ هُوَ وَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَ امْرَأَتُهُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ هُنَاكَ إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى غَارَتْ خَيْلٌ لِبَنِي فَزَارَةَ فِيهَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ فَأُخِذَتِ السَّرْحُ وَ قُتِلَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَ أُخِذَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ بِهِ طَعْنَةٌ جَائِفَةٌ فَاعْتَمَدَ عَلَى عَصَاهُ وَ قَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أُخِذَ السَّرْحُ وَ قُتِلَ ابْنُ أَخِي وَ قُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ عَلَى عَصَايَ فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَخَرَجُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ فَرَدُّوا السَّرْحَ وَ قَتَلُوا نَفَراً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ.

So hear and the son of hisar brother, and hisar wife went out. But, very soon the horsemen of the Clan of Fazaarat, among whom was Uyaynah Bin Hasan attacked them, took away the cattle, and killed the son of hisar brother, and took hisar wife who as from the Clan of Ghaffaar. And Abu Dharrar came up in an intensely difficult condition and paused in front of the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj, badly wounded and leaning upon his stick and said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww were right. The cattle were taken, and the son of myar brother being killed, and Iar am leaning upon my stick’. So the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj cried out among the Muslims. So they went out in the search, and returned the cattle, and killed a number from the Polytheists’.

H 14545 – Abaan, from Abu Baseer has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj encamped under a tree on the edge of the valley during the (military) expedition of Zaat Al-Raqa’a. A flooding came in between himsaww and hissaww companions. A man from the Polytheists saw it, and the Muslims were standing upon the edge of the valley waiting for the flood to be cut-off (subside). So a man from the Polytheists said to his people, ‘I will kill Muhammadsaww’. So he came and pulled out his sword against the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj then said, ‘Who is going to save you from me, O Muhammadsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Mysaww Lordazwj, and your Lordazwj’. So Jibraeelas blew him off his horse and he fell upon his back. The Rasoolsaww stood up and took the sword, and sat upon his chest and said: ‘Who is the one who will rescue you from mesaww, O Gowras?’ He said, ‘Yoursaww benevolence and yoursaww generosity, O Muhammadsaww’. So hesaww left him. He stood up and he was saying, ‘By Allahazwj, yousaww are better than me and more generous’.

H 14546 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Muhammad, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al-Munkary, from Hafs Bin Gayaas, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘If you have the ability to make yourselves unknown, you better do it. And it should not matter to you if the people do not praise you, and it should not matter to you either that you are condemned by the people whilst you are being Praised in the Presence of Allahazwj.

Amir-ul-Momineenasws used to say: ‘There is no good in the world except for one of the two men – a man who increases in it the good deeds every day and a man who corrects himself, ready to face death by the repentance. But, what is meant by the repentance? By Allahazwj! If he were to perform prostrations to the extent that his neck breaks off, Allahazwj will not Accept deeds from him except by ourasws Wilayah, the Peopleasws of the Household. Indeed, (Acceptance) is for the ones who recognise ourasws rights and hope for Reward by usasws, (they) are pleased with their strength of half a ‘Mudd’ (Unit of measurement) of food every day, not being able to cover their private parts (insufficient clothing), and no covering over their head (roof), but still they are very much fearful of Allahazwj and are pleased with the (little) share from the world.

وَ كَذَلِكَ وَصَفَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ وَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ ما آتَوْا وَ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ مَا الَّذِي أَتَوْا بِهِ أَتَوْا وَ اللَّهِ بِالطَّاعَةِ مَعَ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَ الْوَلَايَةِ وَ هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ خَائِفُونَ أَنْ لَا يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَيْسَ وَ اللَّهِ خَوْفُهُمْ خَوْفَ شَكٍّ فِيمَا هُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ إِصَابَةِ الدِّينِ وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ خَافُوا أَنْ يَكُونُوا مُقَصِّرِينَ فِي مَحَبَّتِنَا وَ طَاعَتِنَا

And that is how Allahazwj has Described them where Heazwj has Said: “[23:60] And those who dispense their charity with their hearts full of fear”. That’s what they come with? By Allahazwj! They come with obedience along with the love, and the Wilayah, and they are with regards to that, (but they are still) fearful that it may not be Accepted from them. By Allahazwj, they are not fearful with the fear of doubt with regards to what they are in from the difficulties of Religion, but they are fearful that they might have been deficient (Muqassir) in ourasws love and being (less) obedient to usasws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ أَنْ لَا تَخْرُجَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّ عَلَيْكَ فِي خُرُوجِكَ أَنْ لَا تَغْتَابَ وَ لَا تَكْذِبَ وَ لَا تَحْسُدَ وَ لَا تُرَائِيَ وَ لَا تَتَصَنَّعَ وَ لَا تُدَاهِنَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ صَوْمَعَةُ الْمُسْلِمِ بَيْتُهُ يَكُفُّ فِيهِ بَصَرَهُ وَ لِسَانَهُ وَ نَفْسَهُ وَ فَرْجَهُ إِنَّ مَنْ عَرَفَ نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ بِقَلْبِهِ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْمَزِيدَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ شُكْرَهَا عَلَى لِسَانِهِ وَ مَنْ ذَهَبَ يَرَى أَنَّ لَهُ عَلَى الْآخَرِ فَضْلًا فَهُوَ مِنَ الْمُسْتَكْبِرِينَ

Then said: ‘If you could afford not to go out of your houses, then do so, as when you go out then it becomes obligatory on you that you would not backbite, and not lie, and not be envious, and not show-off, and not pretend, and not flatter’. Then said: ‘Yes, a silo for the Muslim is his house in which he restrains his vision, and his tongue, and his self, and his genitals. The one, who recognises the Favours of Allahazwj by his heart, obligates more for himself from Allahazwj, before he even expresses his appreciation for it upon his tongue, and the one who goes around considering himself to be better than others, so he is from the arrogant ones’.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّمَا يَرَى أَنَّ لَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَضْلًا بِالْعَافِيَةِ إِذَا رَآهُ مُرْتَكِباً لِلْمَعَاصِي فَقَالَ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ فَلَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا أَتَى وَ أَنْتَ مَوْقُوفٌ مُحَاسَبٌ أَ مَا تَلَوْتَ قِصَّةَ سَحَرَةِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) ثُمَّ قَالَ كَمْ مِنْ مَغْرُورٍ بِمَا قَدْ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ كَمْ مِنْ مُسْتَدْرَجٍ بِسَتْرِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ كَمْ مِنْ مَفْتُونٍ بِثَنَاءِ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو النَّجَاةَ لِمَنْ عَرَفَ حَقَّنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا لِأَحَدِ ثَلَاثَةٍ صَاحِبِ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ وَ صَاحِبِ هَوًى وَ الْفَاسِقِ الْمُعْلِنِ

So I said to himasws, ‘But what if he sees himself as better due to the (spiritual) health when he sees the one who is indulging in the sins?’ Heasws said: ‘Far be it! Far be it! It may be that he has been Forgiven for his sins whilst you have been Paused for the Accounting. Have you not recited the story of the magicians (at the time) of Musaas?’ Then said: ‘How many are proud with what Allahazwj has Favoured them with, and how many have been enticed by the Veil of Allahazwj upon them, and how many have been infatuated by the praises of the people upon him’. Then said: ‘Iasws hope for the salvation for the ones who recognise ourasws rights, from this community except for one of the three – an unjust ruler, a follower of desires, an openly immoral one’.

ثُمَّ تَلَا قُلْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا حَفْصُ الْحُبُّ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ وَالَى غَيْرَنَا وَ مَنْ عَرَفَ حَقَّنَا وَ أَحَبَّنَا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى

Then heasws recited: “[3:31] Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you”, then said: ‘O Hafs, the love is higher than the fear’. Then said: ‘By Allahazwj, Allahazwj does not Love the one who loves the world, and takes as a friend other than usasws, whilst the one who recognises ourasws rights and loves usasws, so he has loved Allahazwj’.

فَبَكَى رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَ تَبْكِي لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ كُلَّهُمُ اجْتَمَعُوا يَتَضَرَّعُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُنْجِيَكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يُدْخِلَكَ الْجَنَّةَ لَمْ يُشَفَّعُوا فِيكَ [ثُمَّ كَانَ لَكَ قَلْبٌ حَيٌّ لَكُنْتَ أَخْوَفَ النَّاسِ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ] ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا حَفْصُ كُنْ ذَنَباً وَ لَا تَكُنْ رَأْساً يَا حَفْصُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ خَافَ اللَّهَ كَلَّ لِسَانُهُ

A man wept, so heasws said: ‘Are you crying? Even if the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, all of them get together crying to Allahazwj to be Rescued from the Fire and to be entered into the Paradise, they would not be able to intercede for you. Then if you had for yourself a living heart you would be the most fearful of the people to Allahazwj in that condition’. Then said to him: ‘O Hafs, be a follower and not a leader. O Hafs, the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said: ‘The one who fears Allahazwj, would be of little speech’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ بَيْنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ( عليه السلام ) يَعِظُ أَصْحَابَهُ إِذْ قَامَ رَجُلٌ فَشَقَّ قَمِيصَهُ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُوسَى قُلْ لَهُ لَا تَشُقَّ قَمِيصَكَ وَ لَكِنِ اشْرَحْ لِي عَنْ قَلْبِكَ

Then said: ‘Once Musa Bin Imranas was advising hisas companions, when a man stood up, and tore his shirt. So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas: “O Musaas! Say to him, ‘Do not tear your shirt, but open for Meazwj your heart’”.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَرَّ مُوسَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ ( عليه السلام ) بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَانْصَرَفَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ عَلَى حَالِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) لَوْ كَانَتْ حَاجَتُكَ بِيَدِي لَقَضَيْتُهَا لَكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُوسَى لَوْ سَجَدَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ عُنُقُهُ مَا قَبِلْتُهُ حَتَّى يَتَحَوَّلَ عَمَّا أَكْرَهُ إِلَى مَا أُحِبُّ.

Then said: ‘Musaas Bin Imranas passed by a man from hisas companion, and he was prostrating. So after return back from what heas had to do, (Musaas) saw him still in prostration. So Musaas said to him: ‘If (the fulfilment) of your need was in myas hands, Iasws would have fulfilled it for you’. So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas; “O Musaas! Even if he were to prostrate until his neck breaks, Iazwj will not Accept it until he turns away from what Iazwj Abhor and towards what Iazwj Love”.’

حَدِيثُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

HADEETH OF THE RASOOLsaww OF ALLAHazwj

14547- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَا كَانَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ أَنْ يَظَلَّ جَائِعاً خَائِفاً فِي اللَّهِ.

H 14547 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Saalim, and others, the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There was nothing more beloved to the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj than remaining hungry and fearful for the sake of Allahazwj’.

14548- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ مُتَّكِئاً قَالَ وَ قَدْ كَانَ يَبْلُغُنَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يُكْرَهُ فَجَعَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَدَعَانِي إِلَى طَعَامِهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا رَأَتْهُ عَيْنٌ وَ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ وَ هُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ مِنْ أَنْ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَتْهُ عَيْنٌ يَأْكُلُ وَ هُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ مِنْ أَنْ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ

H 14548 – A number of our companions, from sahl Bin Ziyad and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar altogether from Ibn Fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Saeed Bin Amro and Al-Ju’fy, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

‘I came up to Abu Ja’farasws one day and (I felt that) heasws was resting (upon something) whilst eating, and heasws had been telling us that it is undesirable. So I looked at himasws, so heasws called me over to eat with himasws. When heasws had finished, heasws said: ‘O Muhammad, you had been thinking that no eye had seen the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj eating whilst leaning (upon something) from the time Allahazwj Sent himsaww up to hissaww passing away’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws referred to himselfasws and said: ‘No! By Allahazwj, no eye had seen himsaww eating whilst leaning (upon something) from the time Allahazwj Sent himsaww up to hissaww passing away.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةً مِنْ أَنْ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا شَبِعَ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مُتَوَالِيَةً مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَقُولُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَا يَجِدُ لَقَدْ كَانَ يُجِيزُ الرَّجُلَ الْوَاحِدَ بِالْمِائَةِ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَلَوْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَأَكَلَ وَ لَقَدْ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الْأَرْضِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ يُخَيِّرُهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مِمَّا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَيْئاً فَيَخْتَارُ التَّوَاضُعَ لِرَبِّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ مَا سُئِلَ شَيْئاً قَطُّ فَيَقُولَ لَا إِنْ كَانَ أَعْطَى وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَالَ يَكُونُ وَ مَا أَعْطَى عَلَى اللَّهِ شَيْئاً قَطُّ إِلَّا سَلَّمَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى إِنْ كَانَ لَيُعْطِي الرَّجُلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَيُسَلِّمُ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ ثُمَّ تَنَاوَلَنِي بِيَدِهِ

Then said: ‘O Muhammad! Perhaps you think that hesaww satiated himselfsaww from good bread for three continuous days from the time Allahazwj Sent himsaww up to hissaww passing away’. Then heasws referred to himselfasws, then said: ‘No! By Allahazwj, hesaww did not satiate himselfsaww from good bread for three continuous days since Allahazwj Sent himsaww up to hissaww passing away. But, Iasws am not saying that hesaww could not find it, for hesaww used to gift one man a hundred camels. Had hesaww intended to eat it hesaww would have eaten. And Jibraeel had come to himsaww with the Keys of the treasures of the earth three times giving himsaww the option without any reduction of anything from Allahazwj from what Allahazwj had Prepared for himsaww for the Day of Judgement.

Hesaww chose the modesty to hissaww Lordazwj. And when asked for anything hesaww never said, ‘No’, at all. Hesaww would say: ‘If Isaww had it Isaww would give it’. And if was not available, hesaww would say: ‘It would come’, and whenever Allahazwj Gave anything at all hesaww would hand it over to him, to the extent that if the man has been Given the Paradise, which Allahazwj would submit to himsaww, then hesaww would give it to him by hissaww own hands’.

وَ قَالَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ صَاحِبُكُمْ لَيَجْلِسُ جِلْسَةَ الْعَبْدِ وَ يَأْكُلُ إِكْلَةَ الْعَبْدِ وَ يُطْعِمُ النَّاسَ خُبْزَ الْبُرِّ وَ اللَّحْمَ وَ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَيَأْكُلُ الْخُبْزَ وَ الزَّيْتَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ لَيَشْتَرِي الْقَمِيصَ السُّنْبُلَانِيَّ ثُمَّ يُخَيِّرُ غُلَامَهُ خَيْرَهُمَا ثُمَّ يَلْبَسُ الْبَاقِيَ فَإِذَا جَازَ أَصَابِعَهُ قَطَعَهُ وَ إِذَا جَازَ كَعْبَهُ حَذَفَهُ وَ مَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَانِ قَطُّ كِلَاهُمَا لِلَّهِ رِضًا إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِأَشَدِّهِمَا عَلَى بَدَنِهِ وَ لَقَدْ وُلِّيَ النَّاسَ خَمْسَ سِنِينَ فَمَا وَضَعَ آجُرَّةً عَلَى آجُرَّةٍ وَ لَا لَبِنَةً عَلَى لَبِنَةٍ وَ لَا أَقْطَعَ قَطِيعَةً وَ لَا أَوْرَثَ بَيْضَاءَ وَ لَا حَمْرَاءَ إِلَّا سَبْعَمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ فَضَلَتْ مِنْ عَطَايَاهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْتَاعَ لِأَهْلِهِ بِهَا خَادِماً وَ مَا أَطَاقَ أَحَدٌ عَمَلَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) لَيَنْظُرُ فِي الْكِتَابِ مِنْ كُتُبِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَيَضْرِبُ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ وَ يَقُولُ مَنْ يُطِيقُ هَذَا.

And said: ‘Your Master (Amir-ul-Momineenasws) used to sit like the sitting of the slave, and eat like the eating of the slave, and would feed the people good bread and the meat, and would return to hisasws family to eat bread with oil. And if heasws were to buy Al-Sunbulany shirt, then heasws would give hisasws slave the choice of the better one, then would wear the remaining one.

So if heasws would find a little excess heasws would withdraw it, and if hisasws would feel that his heelasws had exceeded heasws would have removed it. No two matters would be referred to himasws at all for the sake of Allahazwj except that heasws would opt for the more difficult one upon hisasws body, and heasws was the ruler of the people for five years but did not place a brick upon a brick, and did not build a construction upon a construction, and did not acquire a piece of land, and did not leave a legacy behind him, white or red except for seven hundred Dirhams as a gifts, intending that heasws would buy a servant for hisasws Family. No one could bear any of his works, and Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws used to look into a Book from the Books of Aliasws, so heasws would strike the ground with it and would say: ‘Who can endure this?’

14549- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَخَيَّرَهُ وَ أَشَارَ عَلَيْهِ بِالتَّوَاضُعِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ نَاصِحاً فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَأْكُلُ إِكْلَةَ الْعَبْدِ وَ يَجْلِسُ جِلْسَةَ الْعَبْدِ تَوَاضُعاً لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ بِمَفَاتِيحِ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ هَذِهِ مَفَاتِيحُ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا بَعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ لِيَكُونَ لَكَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْقُصَكَ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى.

H 14549 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammaad Bin Usman from Ali Bin Mugheira who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘Jibraeelas came to the Rasoolsaww Allahazwj giving the option and indicating to himsaww for the humbleness and was advising himsaww. The Rasoolsaww Allahazwj used to eat like the eating of the slave, and sit like the sitting of the slave being humble to Allahazwj. Then hesaww was given (by Jibraeel) at the time of hissaww death, the Keys of the treasures of the world. So he (Jibraeel) said: ‘These are the Keys of the treasures of the world which yoursaww Lordazwj has Sent to yousaww so that there will be for you all that is carried by the earth without any reduction of anything’. The Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said: ‘Isaww (want to be) among the friends of the Most Highazwj’.

14550- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ بَطْحَاءُ مَكَّةَ ذَهَباً فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ لَا وَ لَكِنْ أَشْبَعُ يَوْماً وَ أَجُوعُ يَوْماً فَإِذَا شَبِعْتُ حَمِدْتُكَ وَ شَكَرْتُكَ وَ إِذَا جُعْتُ دَعَوْتُكَ وَ ذَكَرْتُكَ.

H 14550 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Abdul Mo’min Al-Ansary, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The Rasoolsaww Allahazwj said: ‘There were presented to mesaww Bat’ha and Makka of gold. So Isaww said: ‘O Lordazwj! No, but Isaww would like to satiate one day and remain hungry one day, for if Isaww am satiated Isaww would thank Youazwj, and if Isaww am hungry, Isaww would supplicate to Youazwj and Remember Youazwj’.

حَدِيثُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ( عليهما السلام )

HADEETH OF ISA BIN MARYAMas

14551- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْهُمْ (عليهم السلام) قَالَ فِيمَا وَعَظَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) يَا عِيسَى أَنَا رَبُّكَ وَ رَبُّ آبَائِكَ اسْمِي وَاحِدٌ وَ أَنَا الْأَحَدُ الْمُتَفَرِّدُ بِخَلْقِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ صُنْعِي وَ كُلٌّ إِلَيَّ رَاجِعُونَ

H 14551 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, who has narrated the following:

The Imamasws having said: ‘Among the Advice which Allahazwj Gave to Isaas was: “O Isaas! Iazwj am youras Lordazwj, and the Lordazwj of youras forefathers. Myazwj Name is ‘وَاحِدٌ’ the One, and Iazwj am the ‘الْأَحَدُ’ the One, which cannot be divided, the Lone One Whoazwj Created everything, and everything is Made by Myazwj and everything Returns to Meazwj.

يَا عِيسَى أَنْتَ الْمَسِيحُ بِأَمْرِي وَ أَنْتَ تَخْلُقُ مِنَ الطِّينِ كَهَيْئَةِ الطَّيْرِ بِإِذْنِي وَ أَنْتَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى بِكَلَامِي فَكُنْ إِلَيَّ رَاغِباً وَ مِنِّي رَاهِباً وَ لَنْ تَجِدَ مِنِّي مَلْجَأً إِلَّا إِلَيَّ

O Isaas! Youas are the Messiah by Myazwj Command, and youas create from the clay something like the bird (but) by Myazwj Permission, and youas revive the dead by Myazwj Speech, so become attentive towards Meazwj and be a ‘رَاهِباً’ fully devote yourself to Meazwj, and youas will never find a refuge except with Meazwj.

يَا عِيسَى أُوصِيكَ وَصِيَّةَ الْمُتَحَنِّنِ عَلَيْكَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ حَتَّى حَقَّتْ لَكَ مِنِّي الْوَلَايَةُ بِتَحَرِّيكَ مِنِّي الْمَسَرَّةَ فَبُورِكْتَ كَبِيراً وَ بُورِكْتَ صَغِيراً حَيْثُ مَا كُنْتَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ عَبْدِي ابْنُ أَمَتِي أَنْزِلْنِي مِنْ نَفْسِكَ كَهَمِّكَ وَ اجْعَلْ ذِكْرِي لِمَعَادِكَ وَ تَقَرَّبْ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَيَّ أَكْفِكَ وَ لَا تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى غَيْرِي فَآخُذَ لَكَ

O Isaas! Iazwj Bequeath to youas a Compassionate Command with the Mercy until the Wilayah is Ordained from Meazwj and there comes Pleasure from Meazwj. Youas are blessed as a grown up and blessed as a child whereby youas testified that youas are Myazwj servant, the sonas of Myazwj maidservant (Maryamas). Make room for Meazwj in yourselfas like youras concerns, and make Myazwj Remembrance to be for youras return, and come near to Meazwj by the optional (Prayers), and place reliance upon Meazwj for Iazwj will Suffice for youas, and do not rely upon the others for Iazwj shall Abandon youas.

يَا عِيسَى اصْبِرْ عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ وَ ارْضَ بِالْقَضَاءِ وَ كُنْ كَمَسَرَّتِي فِيكَ فَإِنَّ مَسَرَّتِي أَنْ أُطَاعَ فَلَا أُعْصَى

O Isaas! Observe patience upon the afflictions and be pleased with the Destiny, and become like Myazwj Happiness in youas, for if Myazwj Happiness is what makes youas happy, youas will be obedient and will not disobey.

يَا عِيسَى أَحْيِ ذِكْرِي بِلِسَانِكَ وَ لْيَكُنْ وُدِّي فِي قَلْبِكَ

O Isaas! Revive Myazwj Remembrance by youras tongue, and make Myazwj cordiality to be in youras heart.

يَا عِيسَى تَيَقَّظْ فِي سَاعَاتِ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ احْكُمْ لِي لَطِيفَ الْحِكْمَةِ

O Isaas! Be vigilant in the hours of neglect and consider Meazwj of Kind Wisdom.

يَا عِيسَى كُنْ رَاغِباً رَاهِباً وَ أَمِتْ قَلْبَكَ بِالْخَشْيَةِ

O Isaas! Be attentive, a Devotee, and prepare youras heart to fear (Meazwj).

يَا عِيسَى رَاعِ اللَّيْلَ لِتَحَرِّي مَسَرَّتِي وَ أَظْمِئْ نَهَارَكَ لِيَوْمِ حَاجَتِكَ عِنْدِي

O Isaas! Be a shepherd of the night to search for Myazwj Happiness, and Magnify Meazwj in youras daytime for asking for youras need from Mesaww.

يَا عِيسَى نَافِسْ فِي الْخَيْرِ جُهْدَكَ تُعْرَفْ بِالْخَيْرِ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتَ

O Isaas! Compete with regards to the good with youras striving; youas will be known by the good wherever youas may turn to.

يَا عِيسَى احْكُمْ فِي عِبَادِي بِنُصْحِي وَ قُمْ فِيهِمْ بِعَدْلِي فَقَدْ أَنْزَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ شِفَاءً لِمَا فِي الصُّدُورِ مِنْ مَرَضِ الشَّيْطَانِ

O Isaas! Judge among Myazwj servants by Myazwj Advice, and stand among them with Myazwj Justice, for Iazwj have Made to Descend upon youas a healing for what is in the chests from the diseases of the Satanla.

يَا عِيسَى لَا تَكُنْ جَلِيساً لِكُلِّ مَفْتُونٍ

O Isaas! Do not be seated with the intrigued (hypocrites).

يَا عِيسَى حَقّاً أَقُولُ مَا آمَنَتْ بِي خَلِيقَةٌ إِلَّا خَشَعَتْ لِي وَ لَا خَشَعَتْ لِي إِلَّا رَجَتْ ثَوَابِي فَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهَا آمِنَةٌ مِنْ عِقَابِي مَا لَمْ تُبَدِّلْ أَوْ تُغَيِّرْ سُنَّتِي

O Isaas! Truly Iazwj Say that no creature believed in Meazwj except that he was humble to Meazwj, and did not humble himself to Meazwj except that he hoped for Myazwj Reward. Be a witness that he is safe from Myazwj Punishment, (that will be) the one who did not change or replace Myazwj Sunnah.

يَا عِيسَى ابْنَ الْبِكْرِ الْبَتُولِ ابْكِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ بُكَاءَ مَنْ وَدَّعَ الْأَهْلَ وَ قَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ تَرَكَهَا لِأَهْلِهَا وَ صَارَتْ رَغْبَتُهُ فِيمَا عِنْدَ إِلَهِهِ

O Isaas, the first sonas of the chaste virgin, weep for youras self with a weeping like the one who says farewell to his family, and hate the world and leave it to its people, and become interested in what is in the Presence of youras God.

يَا عِيسَى كُنْ مَعَ ذَلِكَ تُلِينُ الْكَلَامَ وَ تُفْشِي السَّلَامَ يَقْظَانَ إِذَا نَامَتْ عُيُونُ الْأَبْرَارِ حَذَراً لِلْمَعَادِ وَ الزَّلَازِلِ الشِّدَادِ وَ أَهْوَالِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ حَيْثُ لَا يَنْفَعُ أَهْلٌ وَ لَا وَلَدٌ وَ لَا مَالٌ

O Isaas! Be along with that as a soft-spoken person, and offers greetings and be vigilant when the eyes of the righteous go to sleep. Be cautious of the Return and the severe earthquakes and the sensations of the Day of Judgement when neither the family, not the sons, nor the wealth would be of any benefit.

يَا عِيسَى اكْحُلْ عَيْنَكَ بِمِيلِ الْحُزْنِ إِذَا ضَحِكَ الْبَطَّالُونَ

O Isaas! Apply the Kohl of grief in youras eyes whilst the people of falsehood laugh.

يَا عِيسَى كُنْ خَاشِعاً صَابِراً فَطُوبَى لَكَ إِنْ نَالَكَ مَا وُعِدَ الصَّابِرُونَ

O Isaas! Become humble and patient, for Tooba is for youas if youas achieve what has been Prepared for the patient ones.

يَا عِيسَى رُحْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَوْماً فَيَوْماً وَ ذُقْ لِمَا قَدْ ذَهَبَ طَعْمُهُ فَحَقّاً أَقُولُ مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا بِسَاعَتِكَ وَ يَوْمِكَ فَرُحْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِبُلْغَةٍ وَ لْيَكْفِكَ الْخَشِنُ الْجَشِبُ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتَ إِلَى مَا تَصِيرُ وَ مَكْتُوبٌ مَا أَخَذْتَ وَ كَيْفَ أَتْلَفْتَ

O Isaas! Go from the world day by day, and taste the food from which its taste is less indulging. So Iazwj Truly Say, youas are not with anything except for youras hour and youras day, so go from the world with provision, and let the rough (clothes) and less tempting (food) suffice for youas for youas have seen what becomes of it, and whatever youas take is written down, and how youas have consumed it.

يَا عِيسَى إِنَّكَ مَسْئُولٌ فَارْحَمِ الضَّعِيفَ كَرَحْمَتِي إِيَّاكَ وَ لَا تَقْهَرِ الْيَتِيمَ

O Isaas! Youas will be questioned, so be merciful to the weak just like Myazwj Mercy towards youas, and do not subdue the orphan.

يَا عِيسَى ابْكِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ فِي الْخَلَوَاتِ وَ انْقُلْ قَدَمَيْكَ إِلَى مَوَاقِيتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ أَسْمِعْنِي لَذَاذَةَ نُطْقِكَ بِذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ صَنِيعِي إِلَيْكَ حَسَنٌ

O Isaas! Youas weep over yourselfas in private, move youras feet to the timings of the Prayer, and let Meazwj Hear youras sweet speech of Myazwj remembrance, for Myazwj Favour to youas is good.

يَا عِيسَى كَمْ مِنْ أُمَّةٍ قَدْ أَهْلَكْتُهَا بِسَالِفِ ذُنُوبٍ قَدْ عَصَمْتُكَ مِنْهَا

O Isaas! How many from the community Iazwj have Destroyed for their previous sins which Iazwj have Protected youas from it.

يَا عِيسَى ارْفُقْ بِالضَّعِيفِ وَ ارْفَعْ طَرْفَكَ الْكَلِيلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ ادْعُنِي فَإِنِّي مِنْكَ قَرِيبٌ وَ لَا تَدْعُنِي إِلَّا مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيَّ وَ هَمَّكَ هَمّاً وَاحِداً فَإِنَّكَ مَتَى تَدْعُنِي كَذَلِكَ أُجِبْكَ

O Isaas! Be kind to the weak ones and raise your tired eye towards the sky and call upon Meazwj for Iazwj am Near to youas and do not Pray to Meazwj except by Supplicating to Meazwj for youras concern is one concern, for when youas call upon Meazwj in such a manner, Iazwj will Answer youas. 

يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي لَمْ أَرْضَ بِالدُّنْيَا ثَوَاباً لِمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ وَ لَا عِقَاباً لِمَنِ انْتَقَمْتُ مِنْهُ

O Isaas, Iazwj was not Pleased with Presenting the world as a Reward for the ones who were before youas, nor as a Punishment for the ones Iazwj Want to Retaliate against. 

يَا عِيسَى إِنَّكَ تَفْنَى وَ أَنَا أَبْقَى وَ مِنِّي رِزْقُكَ وَ عِنْدِي مِيقَاتُ أَجَلِكَ وَ إِلَيَّ إِيَابُكَ وَ عَلَيَّ حِسَابُكَ فَسَلْنِي وَ لَا تَسْأَلْ غَيْرِي فَيَحْسُنَ مِنْكَ الدُّعَاءُ وَ مِنِّي الْإِجَابَةُ

O Isaas! Youas are to die and Iazwj shall Remain, and from Meazwj is youras sustenance, and with Meazwj is youras fixed term and to Meazwj is youras eventual return, and to Meazwj is youras Accounting, so ask Meazwj and do not ask someone else, for the best from youas is the supplication, and from Meazwj is the Answering of it.

يَا عِيسَى مَا أَكْثَرَ الْبَشَرَ وَ أَقَلَّ عَدَدَ مَنْ صَبَرَ الْأَشْجَارُ كَثِيرَةٌ وَ طَيِّبُهَا قَلِيلٌ فَلَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ حُسْنُ شَجَرَةٍ حَتَّى تَذُوقَ ثَمَرَهَا

O Isaas! How numerous are the human beings and how little are, in numbers, the patient ones. The trees are many but the good ones of it are few. So do not be deceived by the beauty of the tree until you have tasted its fruit.

يَا عِيسَى لَا يَغُرَّنَّكَ الْمُتَمَرِّدُ عَلَيَّ بِالْعِصْيَانِ يَأْكُلُ رِزْقِي وَ يَعْبُدُ غَيْرِي ثُمَّ يَدْعُونِي عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ فَأُجِيبُهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ إِلَى مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَلَيَّ يَتَمَرَّدُ أَمْ بِسَخَطِي يَتَعَرَّضُ فَبِي حَلَفْتُ لآَخُذَنَّهُ أَخْذَةً لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنْهَا مَنْجًى وَ لَا دُونِي مَلْجَأٌ أَيْنَ يَهْرُبُ مِنْ سَمَائِي وَ أَرْضِي

O Isaas! Do not be deceived by the rebellious one by disobeying My (Commands), Iazwj Provide sustenance so (don’t) worship someone else, then he calls upon Meazwj during hardships, so Iazwj Answer him. Then he returns to what he used to be in, rebelling against Meazwj exposing himself to Myazwj Anger. Iazwj Swear by Myselfazwj that Iazwj shall Grab him with such a Grip that there will be no salvation for him from it, and no refuge apart from Meazwj. Where will he run from Myazwj skies and from Myazwj earth?

يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لِظَلَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا تَدْعُونِي وَ السُّحْتُ تَحْتَ أَحْضَانِكُمْ وَ الْأَصْنَامُ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ فَإِنِّي آلَيْتُ أَنْ أُجِيبَ مَنْ دَعَانِي وَ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ إِجَابَتِي إِيَّاهُمْ لَعْناً عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقُوا

O Isaas! Say to the unjust ones from the Children of Israel not to supplicate to Meazwj whilst the illegal earnings is under their hearts (into their stomach), and the idols are in their houses, for Iazwj have Undertaken that Iazwj shall Answer to the one who supplicates to Meazwj, and Make Myazwj Answer to be a Curse upon them (who disobey) until they disperse.

يَا عِيسَى كَمْ أُطِيلُ النَّظَرَ وَ أُحْسِنُ الطَّلَبَ وَ الْقَوْمُ فِي غَفْلَةٍ لَا يَرْجِعُونَ تَخْرُجُ الْكَلِمَةُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ لَا تَعِيهَا قُلُوبُهُمْ يَتَعَرَّضُونَ لِمَقْتِي وَ يَتَحَبَّبُونَ بِقُرْبِي إِلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O Isaas! How many times have Iazwj Given them lengthy Consideration, and goodness of the seeking, but the people are in neglect and they will not return. The words come out from their mouths but their hearts are not with it. They expose themselves to Myazwj Abhorrence and seek nearness to the Believers by display their love for Meazwj (showing hypocrisy)

يَا عِيسَى لِيَكُنْ لِسَانُكَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَاحِداً وَ كَذَلِكَ فَلْيَكُنْ قَلْبُكَ وَ بَصَرُكَ وَ اطْوِ قَلْبَكَ وَ لِسَانَكَ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ وَ كُفَّ بَصَرَكَ عَمَّا لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ فَكَمْ مِنْ نَاظِرٍ نَظْرَةً قَدْ زَرَعَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ شَهْوَةً وَ وَرَدَتْ بِهِ مَوَارِدَ حِيَاضِ الْهَلَكَةِ

O Isaas! Make youras tongue to be one, be it in secret or in the open, and do that similarly with youras heart and youras vision. And turn youras heart and youras vision away from the Prohibited and restrain youras vision from that which has no benefit. So how many glances of the looker have planted lust in his heart, and returned him by it to the fountains of destruction.

يَا عِيسَى كُنْ رَحِيماً مُتَرَحِّماً وَ كُنْ كَمَا تَشَاءُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْعِبَادُ لَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرَكَ الْمَوْتَ وَ مُفَارَقَةَ الْأَهْلِينَ وَ لَا تَلْهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهْوَ يُفْسِدُ صَاحِبَهُ وَ لَا تَغْفُلْ فَإِنَّ الْغَافِلَ مِنِّي بَعِيدٌ وَ اذْكُرْنِي بِالصَّالِحَاتِ حَتَّى أَذْكُرَكَ

O Isaas! Be merciful and compassionate, and be as youas would like the people to be towards youas. And frequently remember the death, and the separation of the families. And do not play for its amusements (as it) spoils the player. And do not be neglectful one for the neglectful is far from Meazwj. And Remember Meazwj by the righteous deeds so that Iazwj speak of youas.

يَا عِيسَى تُبْ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ الذَّنْبِ وَ ذَكِّرْ بِيَ الْأَوَّابِينَ وَ آمِنْ بِي وَ تَقَرَّبْ بِي إِلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مُرْهُمْ يَدْعُونِي مَعَكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ دَعْوَةَ الْمَظْلُومِ فَإِنِّي آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ أَفْتَحَ لَهَا بَاباً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِالْقَبُولِ وَ أَنْ أُجِيبَهُ وَ لَوْ بَعْدَ حِينٍ

O Isaas! Repent and return to Meazwj after the sins, and Mention Meazwj by the penitence, and believe in Meazwj, and come closer to the Believers by Meazwj, and urge them to supplicate to meazwj along with youas. And beware of the supplication of the oppressed for Iazwj have Undertaken upon Myselfazwj that Iazwj shall Open for it the Doors of the sky by the Acceptance, and Answer him even though it may be after a while.

يَا عِيسَى اعْلَمْ أَنَّ صَاحِبَ السَّوْءِ يُعْدِي وَ قَرِينَ السَّوْءِ يُرْدِي وَ اعْلَمْ مَنْ تُقَارِنُ وَ اخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ إِخْوَاناً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O Isaas! Know that the evil one infects, and the evil friend destroys. And know the one whom youas befriend and chose as a brother for yourselfas from the Believers. 

يَا عِيسَى تُبْ إِلَيَّ فَإِنِّي لَا يَتَعَاظَمُنِي ذَنْبٌ أَنْ أَغْفِرَهُ وَ أَنَا أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ اعْمَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي مُهْلَةٍ مِنْ أَجَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ لَا يَعْمَلَ لَهَا غَيْرُكَ وَ اعْبُدْنِي لِيَوْمٍ كَأَلْفِ سَنَةٍ مِمَّا تَعُدُّونَ فِيهِ أَجْزِي بِالْحَسَنَةِ أَضْعَافَهَا وَ إِنَّ السَّيِّئَةَ تُوبِقُ صَاحِبَهَا فَامْهَدْ لِنَفْسِكَ فِي مُهْلَةٍ وَ نَافِسْ فِي الْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ فَكَمْ مِنْ مَجْلِسٍ قَدْ نَهَضَ أَهْلُهُ وَ هُمْ مُجَارُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ

O Isaas! Repent to Meazwj as there is no grand sin that Iazwj do not Forgive it, and Iazwj am the Most Merciful of the merciful ones. Work for yourselfas in the time allocated from youras term before someone else works for it, and worship Meazwj for a day which will be like a thousand years of your counting, during which Iazwj will Reward the good deeds by increasing them, and that the sins would remain with their doers. Prepare for yourselfas in the allocated time, and compete in the good deeds, for how many a gathering has dispersed and its people being each other’s neighbours in the Fire.

يَا عِيسَى ازْهَدْ فِي الْفَانِي الْمُنْقَطِعِ وَ طَأْ رُسُومَ مَنَازِلِ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ فَادْعُهُمْ وَ نَاجِهِمْ هَلْ تُحِسُّ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَ خُذْ مَوْعِظَتَكَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ سَتَلْحَقُهُمْ فِي اللَّاحِقِينَ

O Isaas! Abstain with regards to the mortal, that which will be cut-off, of the houses of the ones who were before youas, so call them and whisper to them. Do youas feel that any one of them would take youras advice? And know, that youas will be joining them among the joining ones’.

يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لِمَنْ تَمَرَّدَ عَلَيَّ بِالْعِصْيَانِ وَ عَمِلَ بِالْإِدْهَانِ لِيَتَوَقَّعْ عُقُوبَتِي وَ يَنْتَظِرُ إِهْلَاكِي إِيَّاهُ سَيُصْطَلَمُ مَعَ الْهَالِكِينَ

O Isaas! Say to the one who has rebelled against Meazwj by disobedience and works in opposition, to expect Myazwj Punishment and await Myazwj Destruction upon him, so he will be joined with the Destroyed ones.

طُوبَى لَكَ يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ ثُمَّ طُوبَى لَكَ إِنْ أَخَذْتَ بِأَدَبِ إِلَهِكَ الَّذِي يَتَحَنَّنُ عَلَيْكَ تَرَحُّماً وَ بَدَأَكَ بِالنِّعَمِ مِنْهُ تَكَرُّماً وَ كَانَ لَكَ فِي الشَّدَائِدِ لَا تَعْصِهِ

Tooba is for youas, O sonas of Maryamas. Then Tooba is for youas if youas were to take to the discipline of youras God Who is Compassionate towards youas and Merciful, and Begin with the Favours to youas from Himazwj for Honour, as Heazwj was for youas in the difficulties, and youas did not disobey Himazwj.

يَا عِيسَى فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ عِصْيَانُهُ قَدْ عَهِدْتُ إِلَيْكَ كَمَا عَهِدْتُ إِلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكَ وَ أَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ

O Isaas! It is not Permissible for youas to disobey Himazwj Who has Advised youasws just as Heazwj had Advised the ones who were before youas, and Iazwj am a Witness over that.

يَا عِيسَى مَا أَكْرَمْتُ خَلِيقَةً بِمِثْلِ دِينِي وَ لَا أَنْعَمْتُ عَلَيْهَا بِمِثْلِ رَحْمَتِي

O Isaas! Iazwj have not Honoured any creature with the like of Myazwj Religion, nor a Favour to him like Myazwj Mercy.

يَا عِيسَى اغْسِلْ بِالْمَاءِ مِنْكَ مَا ظَهَرَ وَ دَاوِ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ مِنْكَ مَا بَطَنَ فَإِنَّكَ إِلَيَّ رَاجِعٌ

O Isaas! Wash with the water from you, what is apparent and heal with the goodness from youas what is hidden, for youas will be returning to Meazwj.

يَا عِيسَى أَعْطَيْتُكَ مَا أَنْعَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ فَيْضاً مِنْ غَيْرِ تَكْدِيرٍ وَ طَلَبْتُ مِنْكَ قَرْضاً لِنَفْسِكَ فَبَخِلْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْهَا لِتَكُونَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ

O Isaas! Iazwj Gave to youas what Iazwj had Favoured youas with an uninterrupted flow, and Sought from youas a loan for yourselfas, so if youas were to be niggardly with regards to it youas would become of the Destroyed ones.

يَا عِيسَى تَزَيَّنْ بِالدِّينِ وَ حُبِّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ امْشِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ هَوْناً وَ صَلِّ عَلَى الْبِقَاعِ فَكُلُّهَا طَاهِرٌ

O Isaas! Adorn yourselfas with the Religion and love the poor, and walk upon the earth in humility, and Pray upon the remainder, for all of it is clean.

يَا عِيسَى شَمِّرْ فَكُلُّ مَا هُوَ آتٍ قَرِيبٌ وَ اقْرَأْ كِتَابِي وَ أَنْتَ طَاهِرٌ وَ أَسْمِعْنِي مِنْكَ صَوْتاً حَزِيناً

O Isaas! Roll up (youras affairs) for all that comes, is close by, and read Myazwj Book whilst youas are clean, make Meazwj Listen to a voice from youas full of grief.

يَا عِيسَى لَا خَيْرَ فِي لَذَاذَةٍ لَا تَدُومُ وَ عَيْشٍ مِنْ صَاحِبِهِ يَزُولُ

O Isaas! There is no good in enjoyment which does not last and the life of the enjoyer is in decline.

يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ لَوْ رَأَتْ عَيْنُكَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لِأَوْلِيَائِيَ الصَّالِحِينَ ذَابَ قَلْبُكَ وَ زَهَقَتْ نَفْسُكَ شَوْقاً إِلَيْهِ فَلَيْسَ كَدَارِ الْآخِرَةِ دَارٌ تَجَاوَرَ فِيهَا الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ هُمْ مِمَّا يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أَهْوَالِهَا آمِنُونَ دَارٌ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُ فِيهَا النَّعِيمُ وَ لَا يَزُولُ عَنْ أَهْلِهَا

O sonas of Maryamas! If youas were to see what Iazwj have Prepared for Myazwj righteous friends, youras heart would melt, and youras soul would come out (of youras body) in desire for it. So there is no house like the House of the Hereafter in which the neighbours are good people, and the Angels of Proximity come up to them, and they would be from the ones who would come on the Day of Judgement being safe from its horrors. A House in which, there is no change in the Bliss, nor are its inhabitants in decline.

يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ نَافِسْ فِيهَا مَعَ الْمُتَنَافِسِينَ فَإِنَّهَا أُمْنِيَّةُ الْمُتَمَنِّينَ حَسَنَةُ الْمَنْظَرِ

O sonas of Maryamas! Compete with regards to it (the House in the Hereafter) along with the competitors, for it is the desire of the desirous ones, of good scenery.

طُوبَى لَكَ يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَهَا مِنَ الْعَامِلِينَ مَعَ آبَائِكَ آدَمَ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي جَنَّاتٍ وَ نَعِيمٍ لَا تَبْغِي بِهَا بَدَلًا وَ لَا تَحْوِيلًا كَذَلِكَ أَفْعَلُ بِالْمُتَّقِينَ

Tooba is for you, O sonas of Maryamas , if youas are from the workers for it, along with youras forefathers Adamas, and Ibrahimas, being in the Gardens and Bliss, not seeking a substitution for it nor a transfer from it. That is how Iazwj Deal with the pious ones.

يَا عِيسَى اهْرُبْ إِلَيَّ مَعَ مَنْ يَهْرُبُ مِنْ نَارٍ ذَاتِ لَهَبٍ وَ نَارٍ ذَاتِ أَغْلَالٍ وَ أَنْكَالٍ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا رَوْحٌ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا غَمٌّ أَبَداً قِطَعٌ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ مَنْ يَنْجُ مِنْهَا يَفُزْ وَ لَنْ يَنْجُوَ مِنْهَا مَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ هِيَ دَارُ الْجَبَّارِينَ وَ الْعُتَاةِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ كُلِّ فَظٍّ غَلِيظٍ وَ كُلِّ مُخْتَالٍ فَخُورٍ

O Isaas! Flee to Meazwj like those who flee from the flaming Fire, and the Fire with chains and fetters. No soul would enter it and its grief would leave from him ever. It is a part like the part of the dark night. Those who are rescued from it would be successful, and those who do not get Rescued from it would be of the Destroyed ones. This is the House of the tyrants, and hardened oppressors, and every harsh, rude one, and every arrogant boaster.

يَا عِيسَى بِئْسَتِ الدَّارُ لِمَنْ رَكَنَ إِلَيْهَا وَ بِئْسَ الْقَرَارُ دَارُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِنِّي أُحَذِّرُكَ نَفْسَكَ فَكُنْ بِي خَبِيراً

O Isaas! It is the evil house for the ones in its corner, and the evil dwelling for the unjust ones. Iazwj Caution youas, so that youas would be informed about it.

يَا عِيسَى كُنْ حَيْثُ مَا كُنْتَ مُرَاقِباً لِي وَ اشْهَدْ عَلَى أَنِّي خَلَقْتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَبْدِي وَ أَنِّي صَوَّرْتُكَ وَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَهْبَطْتُكَ

O Isaas! Beware youas can be an observer for Meazwj, and testify that Iazwj have Created youas, and youas are Myazwj servant, and Iazwj Shaped youas, and sent youas down to the earth.

يَا عِيسَى لَا يَصْلُحُ لِسَانَانِ فِي فَمٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ لَا قَلْبَانِ فِي صَدْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْأَذْهَانُ

O Isaas! It is not correct for two tongues to be in one mouth, not for two hearts to be in one chest, similarly for the minds.

يَا عِيسَى لَا تَسْتَيْقِظَنَّ عَاصِياً وَ لَا تَسْتَنْبِهَنَّ لَاهِياً وَ افْطِمْ نَفْسَكَ عَنِ الشَّهَوَاتِ الْمُوبِقَاتِ وَ كُلُّ شَهْوَةٍ تُبَاعِدُكَ مِنِّي فَاهْجُرْهَا وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ مِنِّي بِمَكَانِ الرَّسُولِ الْأَمِينِ فَكُنْ مِنِّي عَلَى حَذَرٍ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ دُنْيَاكَ مُؤَدِّيَتُكَ إِلَيَّ وَ أَنِّي آخُذُكَ بِعِلْمِي فَكُنْ ذَلِيلَ النَّفْسِ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِي خَاشِعَ الْقَلْبِ حِينَ تَذْكُرُنِي يَقْظَانَ عِنْدَ نَوْمِ الْغَافِلِينَ

O Isaas! Do not wake up as a disobedient one, nor indulge in vanities whilst awake, and turn yourselfas away from the lusts and the sins, and every desire which distances youas from Meazwj. So migrate from it, and know that youas are from Meazwj at the status of the trustworthy Rasoolas, so be cautious with regards to Meazwj, and know that youras world will deliver youas to Meazwj, and Iazwj will Grab youas with Myazwj Knowledge. So become a humble soul during Myazwj Remembrance, with a revering heart when youas Mention Meazwj, being fully aware whilst the neglectful ones sleep.

يَا عِيسَى هَذِهِ نَصِيحَتِي إِيَّاكَ وَ مَوْعِظَتِي لَكَ فَخُذْهَا مِنِّي وَ إِنِّي رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Isaas! This is Myazwj Advice to youas and Myazwj Preaching to youas, so take it from Meazwj, and Iazwj am the Lordazwj of the worlds.

يَا عِيسَى إِذَا صَبَرَ عَبْدِي فِي جَنْبِي كَانَ ثَوَابُ عَمَلِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ حِينَ يَدْعُونِي وَ كَفَى بِي مُنْتَقِماً مِمَّنْ عَصَانِي أَيْنَ يَهْرُبُ مِنِّي الظَّالِمُونَ

O Isaas! If Myazwj servant is patient with Meazwj, his Rewards for his deeds are upon Meazwj, and it was upon him to supplicate to Meazwj, and Iazwj am Sufficient to Take Revenge from the ones who are disobedient to Meazwj. Where will the unjust runaway to, from Meazwj? 

يَا عِيسَى أَطِبِ الْكَلَامَ وَ كُنْ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ عَالِماً مُتَعَلِّماً

O Isaas! Speak good words wherever youas may be, for Iazwj am a Knowledgeable Teacher.

يَا عِيسَى أَفِضْ بِالْحَسَنَاتِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَكَ ذِكْرُهَا عِنْدِي وَ تَمَسَّكْ بِوَصِيَّتِي فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً لِلْقُلُوبِ

O Isaas! Bestow the good deeds towards Meazwj until it is Mentioned in Myazwj Presence, and take to Myazwj Advice, for there is a healing for the hearts therein.

يَا عِيسَى لَا تَأْمَنْ إِذَا مَكَرْتَ مَكْرِي وَ لَا تَنْسَ عِنْدَ خَلَوَاتِ الدُّنْيَا ذِكْرِي

O Isaas! Do not hesitate when youas plan from Myazwj Plan, and do not forget Myazwj Remembrance in the privacy of the world.

يَا عِيسَى حَاسِبْ نَفْسَكَ بِالرُّجُوعِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى تَتَنَجَّزَ ثَوَابَ مَا عَمِلَهُ الْعَامِلُونَ أُولَئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ وَ أَنَا خَيْرُ الْمُؤْتِينَ

O Isaas! Take account of yourselfas by referring to Meazwj until Iazwj Accomplish the Rewards for what the workers have worked for. Those are the ones who will be getting their Recompense, and Iazwj am the Best of the Givers.

يَا عِيسَى كُنْتَ خَلْقاً بِكَلَامِي وَلَدَتْكَ مَرْيَمُ بِأَمْرِيَ الْمُرْسَلُ إِلَيْهَا رُوحِي جَبْرَئِيلُ الْأَمِينُ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِي حَتَّى قُمْتَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ حَيّاً تَمْشِي كُلُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَابِقِ عِلْمِي

O Isaas! Youas were Created by Myazwj Word, and Maryamas gave birth to you as by Myazwj Command, the Message sent to heras by Myazwj Spirit Jibraeel the Trustworthy one from Myazwj Angels, until youas stood upon the earth alive and walking. All that had been encompassed by Myazwj Knowledge.

يَا عِيسَى زَكَرِيَّا بِمَنْزِلَةِ أَبِيكَ وَ كَفِيلُ أُمِّكَ إِذْ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهَا الْمِحْرَابَ فَيَجِدُ عِنْدَهَا رِزْقاً وَ نَظِيرُكَ يَحْيَى مِنْ خَلْقِي وَهَبْتُهُ لِأُمِّهِ بَعْدَ الْكِبَرِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قُوَّةٍ بِهَا أَرَدْتُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يَظْهَرَ لَهَا سُلْطَانِي وَ يَظْهَرَ فِيكَ قُدْرَتِي أَحَبُّكُمْ إِلَيَّ أَطْوَعُكُمْ لِي وَ أَشَدُّكُمْ خَوْفاً مِنِّي

O Isaas! Zakariyyaas is at the status of youras father, and is the guardian of youras motheras. When heas came up to heras in the Niche (Al-Mihraab) heas found sustenance in heras presence. And youras counterpart Yahyaas (John) is from Myazwj creatures, and Iazwj Gifted himas to hisas mother after the old age had set in, and she had no strength to her. Iazwj Intended by that to Display to her Myazwj Authority, and Display with regards to youas, Myazwj Power. The most Beloved of you all, to Meazwj is the one who is most obedient to Meazwj, and the most intense in his fear from Meazwj.

يَا عِيسَى تَيَقَّظْ وَ لَا تَيْأَسْ مِنْ رَوْحِي وَ سَبِّحْنِي مَعَ مَنْ يُسَبِّحُنِي وَ بِطَيِّبِ الْكَلَامِ فَقَدِّسْنِي

O Isaas! Be vigilant and do not despair from Myazwj Spirit, and Glorify Meazwj along with the ones who Glorify Meazwj, and with the good speech Extol Myazwj Holiness.

يَا عِيسَى كَيْفَ يَكْفُرُ الْعِبَادُ بِي وَ نَوَاصِيهِمْ فِي قَبْضَتِي وَ تَقَلُّبُهُمْ فِي أَرْضِي يَجْهَلُونَ نِعْمَتِي وَ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ عَدُوِّي وَ كَذَلِكَ يَهْلِكُ الْكَافِرُونَ

O Isaas! How can the servants disbelieve in Meazwj whilst their forelocks are in Myazwj Grip, and their going about in Myazwj land while being ignorant of Myazwj Favours, and their befriending of Myazwj enemies, and that is how the infidels are (destined for) Destruction.

يَا عِيسَى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا سِجْنٌ مُنْتِنُ الرِّيحِ وَ حَسُنَ فِيهَا مَا قَدْ تَرَى مِمَّا قَدْ تَذَابَحَ عَلَيْهِ الْجَبَّارُونَ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ الدُّنْيَا فَكُلُّ نَعِيمِهَا يَزُولُ وَ مَا نَعِيمُهَا إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ

O Isaas! The world is a prison with the rotten smell, and there is beauty in it from what has been seen by the tyrants who slaughter each other for it. And beware of the world, for every bounty of it is subject to decline, and there is no bounty in it except for a little.

يَا عِيسَى ابْغِنِي عِنْدَ وِسَادِكَ تَجِدْنِي وَ ادْعُنِي وَ أَنْتَ لِي مُحِبٌّ فَإِنِّي أَسْمَعُ السَّامِعِينَ أَسْتَجِيبُ لِلدَّاعِينَ إِذَا دَعَوْنِي

O Isaas! Reach for Meazwj near youras pillow and youas will find Meazwj, and call upon Meazwj and youas are Beloved unto Meazwj, for Iazwj am the most Hearing of the listening. Iazwj shall Answer the supplicant when one supplicates to Meazwj.

يَا عِيسَى خَفْنِي وَ خَوِّفْ بِي عِبَادِي لَعَلَّ الْمُذْنِبِينَ أَنْ يُمْسِكُوا عَمَّا هُمْ عَامِلُونَ بِهِ فَلَا يَهْلِكُوا إِلَّا وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

O Isaas! Fear Meazwj and get Myazwj servants to fear Meazwj perhaps the sinners would abstain from what they are working in, so no one would be destroyed except that they would be aware (of it).

يَا عِيسَى ارْهَبْنِي رَهْبَتَكَ مِنَ السَّبُعِ وَ الْمَوْتِ الَّذِي أَنْتَ لَاقِيهِ فَكُلُّ هَذَا أَنَا خَلَقْتُهُ فَإِيَّايَ فَارْهَبُونِ

O Isaas! Be in awe of Meazwj as youas are awed by the (fearful) beasts, and the death which youas are going to meet up with, for all these things, Iazwj Created them, so it is Meazwj they should be Awed of.

يَا عِيسَى إِنَّ الْمُلْكَ لِي وَ بِيَدِي وَ أَنَا الْمَلِكُ فَإِنْ تُطِعْنِي أَدْخَلْتُكَ جَنَّتِي فِي جِوَارِ الصَّالِحِينَ

O Isaas! The Kingdom is Mineazwj and in Myazwj Hands, and Iazwj am the King, so if youas were to obey Meazwj, Iazwj shall Make youas to Enter Myazwj Paradise among the neighbourhood of the righteous ones.

يَا عِيسَى إِنِّي إِذَا غَضِبْتُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَنْفَعْكَ رِضَا مَنْ رَضِيَ عَنْكَ وَ إِنْ رَضِيتُ عَنْكَ لَمْ يَضُرَّكَ غَضَبُ الْمُغْضَبِينَ

O Isaas! If Iazwj am Angry with youas, the happiness of those who are happy with youas would be of no benefit to youas, and if Iazwj am Pleased with youas, the anger of the angry ones would not adversely affect youas.

يَا عِيسَى اذْكُرْنِي فِي نَفْسِكَ أَذْكُرْكَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ اذْكُرْنِي فِي مَلَئِكَ أَذْكُرْكَ فِي مَلَإٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْ مَلَإِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ

O Isaas! Remember meazwj in youras soul, Iazwj will Remember youas Myselfazwj, and Mention Meazwj among youras people and Iazwj will Mention youas among Myazwj Gathering which is better than the gathering of the human beings.

يَا عِيسَى ادْعُنِي دُعَاءَ الْغَرِيقِ الْحَزِينِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ مُغِيثٌ

O Isaas! Supplicate to Meazwj by the supplication of the drowning one (Al-Ghareek), the grieving one for whom there is no helper (except Meazwj).

يَا عِيسَى لَا تَحْلِفْ بِي كَاذِباً فَيَهْتَزَّ عَرْشِي غَضَباً الدُّنْيَا قَصِيرَةُ الْعُمُرِ طَوِيلَةُ الْأَمَلِ وَ عِنْدِي دَارٌ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا تَجْمَعُونَ

O Isaas! Do not swear falsely by Meazwj, for (that) Myazwj Throne Trembles in Anger. The world has a short life span, but there are long yearnings therein, whilst in Myazwj Possession is a better House from what youas accumulate.

يَا عِيسَى كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ صَانِعُونَ إِذَا أَخْرَجْتُ لَكُمْ كِتَاباً يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ بِسَرَائِرَ قَدْ كَتَمْتُمُوهَا وَ أَعْمَالٍ كُنْتُمْ بِهَا عَامِلِينَ

O Isaas! How will youas react when Iazwj Bring out a Book for youas which Speaks with the Truth, and you will all testify to the secrets that you have been concealing, and the deeds which you had been performing.

يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لِظَلَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ غَسَلْتُمْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَ دَنَّسْتُمْ قُلُوبَكُمْ أَ بِي تَغْتَرُّونَ أَمْ عَلَيَّ تَجْتَرِءُونَ تَطَيَّبُونَ بِالطِّيبِ لِأَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَجْوَافُكُمْ عِنْدِي بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجِيَفِ الْمُنْتِنَةِ كَأَنَّكُمْ أَقْوَامٌ مَيِّتُونَ

O Isaas! Say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘You have washed your faces, and left your hearts as filthy. Are you trying to deceive Meazwj with a deception, or are you being audacious against Meazwj? You are applying fragrance for the people of the world whilst your inner selves are in Myazwj Presence at the status of the rotten carcass, as if you are a dead people’.

يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لَهُمْ قَلِّمُوا أَظْفَارَكُمْ مِنْ كَسْبِ الْحَرَامِ وَ أَصِمُّوا أَسْمَاعَكُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِ الْخَنَا وَ أَقْبِلُوا عَلَيَّ بِقُلُوبِكُمْ فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ صُوَرَكُمْ

O Isaas! Say to them: ‘Trim your fingernails (cut yourselves off) from unlawful gains, and deafen your ears from the indecent speech, and turn towards Meazwj by your hearts, for Iazwj do not Want (Fond of) your appearances.

يَا عِيسَى افْرَحْ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَإِنَّهَا لِي رِضًا وَ ابْكِ عَلَى السَّيِّئَةِ فَإِنَّهَا شَيْنٌ وَ مَا لَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يُصْنَعَ بِكَ فَلَا تَصْنَعْهُ بِغَيْرِكَ وَ إِنْ لَطَمَ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ فَأَعْطِهِ الْأَيْسَرَ وَ تَقَرَّبْ إِلَيَّ بِالْمَوَدَّةِ جُهْدَكَ وَ أَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ

O Isaas! Be happy with the good deeds for therein lies Myazwj Pleasure, and weep over the sins for it is a disgrace. And do not carry forward to others what youas do not like them to do unto youas, and if youras right cheek is slapped then give him the left one. And come closer to Meazwj by the cordiality and youras striving, and keep away from the ignorant ones.

يَا عِيسَى ذِلَّ لِأَهْلِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ شَارِكْهُمْ فِيهَا وَ كُنْ عَلَيْهِمْ شَهِيداً وَ قُلْ لِظَلَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَا أَخْدَانَ السَّوْءِ وَ الْجُلَسَاءَ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهُوا أَمْسَخْكُمْ قِرَدَةً وَ خَنَازِيرَ

O Isaas! Be humble to the people of good deeds and participate with them in it, and be a witness upon them and say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘O evil companions who are seated upon it, if you do not desist, Iazwj will metamorphose you into monkeys and pigs.

يَا عِيسَى قُلْ لِظَلَمَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْحِكْمَةُ تَبْكِي فَرَقاً مِنِّي وَ أَنْتُمْ بِالضَّحِكِ تَهْجُرُونَ أَتَتْكُمْ بَرَاءَتِي أَمْ لَدَيْكُمْ أَمَانٌ مِنْ عَذَابِي أَمْ تَعَرَّضُونَ لِعُقُوبَتِي فَبِي حَلَفْتُ لَأَتْرُكَنَّكُمْ مَثَلًا لِلْغَابِرِينَ

O Isaas! Say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘The Wisdom weeps after being made to separate from Meazwj, and you are laughing by fleeing away from me. Has there come to you Myazwj Disavowing, or have you found security from Myazwj Punishment, or are you exposing yourselves to Myazwj Punishment? Iazwj Swear by Myselfazwj that Iazwj will Abandon you to be an example for the coming generations to learn a lesson from. 

ثُمَّ أُوصِيكَ يَا ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبِكْرِ الْبَتُولِ بِسَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ حَبِيبِي فَهُوَ أَحْمَدُ صَاحِبُ الْجَمَلِ الْأَحْمَرِ وَ الْوَجْهِ الْأَقْمَرِ الْمُشْرِقِ بِالنُّورِ الطَّاهِرِ الْقَلْبِ الشَّدِيدِ الْبَأْسِ الْحَيِيِّ الْمُتَكَرِّمِ فَإِنَّهُ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْعَالَمِينَ وَ سَيِّدُ وُلْدِ آدَمَ يَوْمَ يَلْقَانِي أَكْرَمُ السَّابِقِينَ عَلَيَّ وَ أَقْرَبُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ مِنِّي الْعَرَبِيُّ الْأَمِينُ الدَّيَّانُ بِدِينِي الصَّابِرُ فِي ذَاتِي الْمُجَاهِدُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِيَدِهِ عَنْ دِينِي أَنْ تُخْبِرَ بِهِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ تَأْمُرَهُمْ أَنْ يُصَدِّقُوا بِهِ وَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ وَ أَنْ يَتَّبِعُوهُ وَ أَنْ يَنْصُرُوهُ

Then Iazwj Advise youas, O sonas of Maryamas the chaste virgin, of the (coming of) the Chief of the Rasoolsas, and Myazwj Beloved, so hesaww is Ahmadsaww, the owner of the red camel, with a face illuminated with the light as bright as the full moon, and the one pure of the heart, and intensely valiant, the prestigious, for hesaww is the Mercy to the Worlds, and the Chief of the children of Adamas on the Day that hesaww will meet Meazwj. The most honourable of the former ones to Meazwj, and the nearest one to Meazwj from the Rasoolsas, the Arab, the trustworthy, the embodiment of Myazwj Religion, the patient one in struggling against the Polytheists by hissaww own self and hands for the sake of Myazwj Religion. And inform the Children of Israel about himsaww, and command them that they should ratify himsaww, and believe in himsaww, and follow himsaww, and help himsaww”.

قَالَ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) إِلَهِي مَنْ هُوَ حَتَّى أُرْضِيَهُ فَلَكَ الرِّضَا قَالَ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً أَقْرَبُهُمْ مِنِّي مَنْزِلَةً وَ أَحْضَرُهُمْ شَفَاعَةً طُوبَى لَهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ وَ طُوبَى لِأُمَّتِهِ إِنْ هُمْ لَقُونِي عَلَى سَبِيلِهِ يَحْمَدُهُ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ أَمِينٌ مَيْمُونٌ طَيِّبٌ مُطَيَّبٌ خَيْرُ الْبَاقِينَ عِنْدِي يَكُونُ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ إِذَا خَرَجَ أَرْخَتِ السَّمَاءُ عَزَالِيَهَا وَ أَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ زَهْرَتَهَا حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْبَرَكَةَ وَ أُبَارِكُ لَهُمْ فِيمَا وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ كَثِيرُ الْأَزْوَاجِ قَلِيلُ الْأَوْلَادِ يَسْكُنُ بَكَّةَ مَوْضِعَ أَسَاسِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

Isaas said: ‘Myas God! Who is hesaww that if Ias were to please himsaww it would Please Youazwj?’ Heazwj Said: “Hesaww is Muhammadsaww, the Rasool Allahsaww to all of the people. Hesaww is the closest to Meazwj in status, and the presenter for the intercession. Tooba is for himsaww from the Prophetsas and Tooba for hissaww community who will meet Meazwj whilst being upon hissaww way. The inhabitants of the earth praise himsaww, and the inhabitants of the sky seek Forgiveness through himsaww.

The trustworthy, the Entrusted one, the good, the blessed, the best of the remaining ones in Myazwj Presence who will be in the end of times. When hesaww comes out, the sky will loosen its rainfall and the earth will bring out its blossoms until they will see the Blessings, and Iazwj will Bless for himsaww whatever that hesaww places hissaww hand upon, one with many wives and few children. Hesaww will live at Bekka (Makkah), the place of foundation of Ibrahimas.

يَا عِيسَى دِينُهُ الْحَنِيفِيَّةُ وَ قِبْلَتُهُ يَمَانِيَّةٌ وَ هُوَ مِنْ حِزْبِي وَ أَنَا مَعَهُ فَطُوبَى لَهُ ثُمَّ طُوبَى لَهُ لَهُ الْكَوْثَرُ وَ الْمَقَامُ الْأَكْبَرُ فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ يَعِيشُ أَكْرَمَ مَنْ عَاشَ وَ يُقْبَضُ شَهِيداً لَهُ حَوْضٌ أَكْبَرُ مِنْ بَكَّةَ إِلَى مَطْلَعِ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ رَحِيقٍ مَخْتُومٍ فِيهِ آنِيَةٌ مِثْلُ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَ أَكْوَابٌ مِثْلُ مَدَرِ الْأَرْضِ عَذْبٍ فِيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرَابٍ وَ طَعْمِ كُلِّ ثِمَارٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَداً وَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَسْمِي لَهُ وَ تَفْضِيلِي إِيَّاهُ عَلَى فَتْرَةٍ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُ يُوَافِقُ سِرُّهُ عَلَانِيَتَهُ وَ قَوْلُهُ فِعْلَهُ لَا يَأْمُرُ النَّاسَ إِلَّا بِمَا يَبْدَأُهُمْ بِهِ

O Isaas! hissaww Religion is the upright one (Al-Haneefa), and hissaww direction (Qiblah) is the Right one, and hesaww is from Myazwj Party, and Iazwj am with himsaww. So Tooba is for himsaww. Then again Tooba is for himsaww, for himsaww is Al-Kawsar, and the great status in Gardens of Eden, living honourably, the ones that live in it, and hesaww will pass away as a martyr.

For himsaww is the Fountain greater than from Bakka (Makkah) up to the rising of the sun. In this are springs of a sealed drink (Al-Raheeq Al-Makhtoum) similar (in number) to the stars in the sky, and cups similar (in number) to the grains of the sands of the earth, sweetened in it from every drink and food of every fruit in the Paradise. The one, who drinks from it a drink, will never be thirsty ever again, and that is what Iazwj have Apportioned for himsaww, and as a merit for himsaww over the period in between youas and himsaww. Hissaww secret would be in accordance with his publicising, and hissaww words would be hissaww deeds. Hesaww will not command the people except by himselfsaww doing it first.

دِينُهُ الْجِهَادُ فِي عُسْرٍ وَ يُسْرٍ تَنْقَادُ لَهُ الْبِلَادُ وَ يَخْضَعُ لَهُ صَاحِبُ الرُّومِ عَلَى دِينِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ يُسَمِّي عِنْدَ الطَّعَامِ وَ يُفْشِي السَّلَامَ وَ يُصَلِّي وَ النَّاسُ نِيَامٌ لَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسُ صَلَوَاتٍ مُتَوَالِيَاتٍ يُنَادِي إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ كَنِدَاءِ الْجَيْشِ بِالشِّعَارِ وَ يَفْتَتِحُ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَ يَخْتَتِمُ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَ يَصُفُّ قَدَمَيْهِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ كَمَا تَصُفُّ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَقْدَامَهَا وَ يَخْشَعُ لِي قَلْبُهُ وَ رَأْسُهُ النُّورُ فِي صَدْرِهِ وَ الْحَقُّ عَلَى لِسَانِهِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ

Hissaww Religion is the Holy War in hardship as well as in ease. The cities would surrender to himsaww and the ruler of Rome would yield to himsaww. Hesaww would be upon the Religion of Ibrahimas. Hesaww will mention Mysaww name during partaking of the food, and would express the greetings, and hesaww will Pray whilst the people are sleeping. Every day hesaww would Pray five Prayers calling out in sequence to the Prayer like the calling of the army by the slogan. And hesaww would open by the exclamation of the Takbeer, and hesaww would end by the greetings. Hesaww would keep hissaww feet in a row during the Prayer just as the Angels keep their feet in a row. And hesaww would humble hissaww heart before Meazwj, as well as hissaww head. The ‘النُّورُ ’( the Divine Light) would be in hissaww chest, and the truth would be upon hissaww tongue, and hesaww would be on the truth wherever hesaww may be.

أَصْلُهُ يَتِيمٌ ضَالٌّ بُرْهَةً مِنْ زَمَانِهِ عَمَّا يُرَادُ بِهِ تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَ لَا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ لَهُ الشَّفَاعَةُ وَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ وَ يَدِي فَوْقَ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَإِنَّمَا يَنْكُثُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ أَوْفَى بِمَا عَاهَدَ عَلَيْهِ أَوْفَيْتُ لَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ فَمُرْ ظَلَمَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَلَّا يَدْرُسُوا كُتُبَهُ وَ لَا يُحَرِّفُوا سُنَّتَهُ وَ أَنْ يُقْرِءُوهُ السَّلَامَ فَإِنَّ لَهُ فِي الْمَقَامِ شَأْناً مِنَ الشَّأْنِ

Hissaww origin would be as an orphan wandering for a while during hissaww time for that which is required from himsaww. Hissaww eyes would sleep but hissaww heart would never sleep. For himsaww is the intercession, and upon hissaww community the Hour would be Established (Day of Judgement be made easy). And Myazwj Hand is Above their hands, so the one who breaks (the Covenant) so he would have broken it against himself. And the one who is loyal to what has been Covenanted with him, Iazwj would be Loyal to him with the Paradise. So command the unjust ones of the Children of Israel to study hissaww Books and not to alter hissaww Sunnah, and that they should send the greetings upon himsaww for hesaww is upon the status more glorious than the glorious.

يَا عِيسَى كُلُّ مَا يُقَرِّبُكَ مِنِّي فَقَدْ دَلَلْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ كُلُّ مَا يُبَاعِدُكَ مِنِّي فَقَدْ نَهَيْتُكَ عَنْهُ فَارْتَدْ لِنَفْسِكَ

O Isaas! All that which brings youas closer to Meazwj, Iazwj have Evidenced it for youas, and everything which distances youas from Meazwj, so Iazwj have Prohibited youas from it, so refer to it for yourselfas.

يَا عِيسَى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ وَ إِنَّمَا اسْتَعْمَلْتُكَ فِيهَا فَجَانِبْ مِنْهَا مَا حَذَّرْتُكَ وَ خُذْ مِنْهَا مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ عَفْواً

O Isaas! The world is sweet, and I have Utilised youas in it, so stay aside from what Iazwj have Cautioned youas from, and take from it what Iazwj Give to youas as a Gift.

يَا عِيسَى انْظُرْ فِي عَمَلِكَ نَظَرَ الْعَبْدِ الْمُذْنِبِ الْخَاطِئِ وَ لَا تَنْظُرْ فِي عَمَلِ غَيْرِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّبِّ كُنْ فِيهَا زَاهِداً وَ لَا تَرْغَبْ فِيهَا فَتَعْطَبَ

O Isaas! Look into youras affairs with a consideration of the sinful servant, the erroneous one, and do not look into the affairs of the other with the position of the Lordazwj. Become an ascetic therein and do not be allured with regards to it, for youas would be corrupted.

يَا عِيسَى اعْقِلْ وَ تَفَكَّرْ وَ انْظُرْ فِي نَوَاحِي الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظَّالِمِينَ

O Isaas! Think, and ponder, and look around in the earth and see how the unjust ones had vanished from its (face).

يَا عِيسَى كُلُّ وَصْفِي لَكَ نَصِيحَةٌ وَ كُلُّ قَوْلِي لَكَ حَقٌّ وَ أَنَا الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ فَحَقّاً أَقُولُ لَئِنْ أَنْتَ عَصَيْتَنِي بَعْدَ أَنْ أَنْبَأْتُكَ مَا لَكَ مِنْ دُونِي وَلِيٌّ وَ لَا نَصِيرٌ

O Isaas! All that Iazwj have Described to youas is Advice, and every Word of Mineazwj to youas is ‘حَقٌّ’ Just, and Iazwj am the ‘الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ’ Clear Just. So Truth is what Iazwj Speak and if youas were to disobey Meazwj after Iazwj have Informed youas, there will be no Guardian for youas other than Myselfazwj, nor a Helper.

يَا عِيسَى أَذِلَّ قَلْبَكَ بِالْخَشْيَةِ وَ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْكَ وَ لَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ رَأْسَ كُلِّ خَطِيئَةٍ وَ ذَنْبٍ هُوَ حُبُّ الدُّنْيَا فَلَا تُحِبَّهَا فَإِنِّي لَا أُحِبُّهَا

O Isaas! Humble youras heart by the reverence, and look to the one who is below youas, and do not look to the one who is above youas, and know that the head of every error and sin is the love of the world, so do not love it for Iazwj do not Love it.

يَا عِيسَى أَطِبْ لِي قَلْبَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ ذِكْرِي فِي الْخَلَوَاتِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ سُرُورِي أَنْ تُبَصْبِصَ إِلَيَّ كُنْ فِي ذَلِكَ حَيّاً وَ لَا تَكُنْ مَيِّتاً

O Isaas! Perfume youras heart for Meazwj and frequent Myazwj Remembrance in the privacy, and know that Myazwj Happiness is in youras pleading to Meazwj, so be alive during that and not become as dead (heart).

يَا عِيسَى لَا تُشْرِكْ بِي شَيْئاً وَ كُنْ مِنِّي عَلَى حَذَرٍ وَ لَا تَغْتَرَّ بِالصِّحَّةِ وَ تُغَبِّطْ نَفْسَكَ فَإِنَّ الدُّنْيَا كَفَيْ‏ءٍ زَائِلٍ وَ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهَا كَمَا أَدْبَرَ فَنَافِسْ فِي الصَّالِحَاتِ جُهْدَكَ وَ كُنْ مَعَ الْحَقِّ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ وَ إِنْ قُطِعْتَ وَ أُحْرِقْتَ بِالنَّارِ فَلَا تَكْفُرْ بِي بَعْدَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ فَلَا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْ‏ءَ يَكُونُ مَعَ الشَّيْ‏ءِ

O Isaas! Do not associate anything with Meazwj and be cautious from Meazwj, and do not be deceived by the (good) health and do not be envious for the world is like a fleeting shadow, and what approaches it is like what has been left behind from it. So compete in the righteous deeds with youras striving, and be with the truth wherever it may be even though youas may be cut and burnt by the fire. So do not disbelieve in Meazwj after the understanding, and do not become of the ignorant ones, for one ends up with that to which one associates.

يَا عِيسَى صُبَّ لِيَ الدُّمُوعَ مِنْ عَيْنَيْكَ وَ اخْشَعْ لِي بِقَلْبِكَ

O Isaas! Pour out youras tears for Meazwj from youras eyes, and humble youras heart to Meazwj.

يَا عِيسَى اسْتَغِثْ بِي فِي حَالَاتِ الشِّدَّةِ فَإِنِّي أُغِيثُ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ أُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ أَنَا أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O Isaas! Cry out to Meazwj for help during difficult conditions, for Iazwj Help the afflicted ones and Iazwj Answer the restless, and Iazwj the most Merciful of the merciful ones”.

H 14552 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Anbasat, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When the inhabitants of the Fire settle down in the Fire, they will miss you (Shiites). So they will not see any one from you (therein). So some of them will say to the others, “[38:62] And they will say: "What has happened to us that we see not men whom we used to number among the bad ones? [38:63] Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them? [38:64].  Imamasws said: ‘And that is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “That most surely is the truth: the contending one with another of the inmates of the fire”. They will be disputing with each other regarding you (Shiites) with regards to what they had been saying about you (Shiites) in the world’.

Heasws said: ‘Do you know why that is so, O Yaqoub?’ I said, ‘I do not know, may I be sacrificed for youasws’. Heasws said: ‘It is Ibleesla who called them, so they answered himla, and ordered them, so they obeyed himla, and hela called you, so you did not answer himla, and hela ordered you, so you did not obey himla, so hela beckons (instigates) the people against you’.

Then he should say, ‘I seek Refuge with what the Angels of Proximity of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Prophetsas, and the righteous servants sought Refuge with, from the evil what I saw, and from the evil of the castaway Satanla’.

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When one of you intends that whenever he asks his Lordazwj for something Heazwj would Give it to him, so he should despair from all the people, and do not have any hope for himself except from Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Remembrance. So when Allahazwj Knows that to be in his heart, never would he ask for anything but it would be Given to him. So take account of your selves before Accounting is taken against you, for on the Day of Judgement there will be fifty pausing stations, with each stop being of the measurement of a thousand years’. Then heasws recited: “[32:5] in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count”.

H 14557 – And by this chain, from Hafs, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The one who wants to travel so he should do so on the day of Saturday. Even if a stone falls off a mountain on the day of Saturday, Allahazwj would Return it to its place. And the one who is unable to fulfill his need should seek it on the day of Tuesday, for it is the day in which Allahazwj Softened the iron for Dawoodas’.

14558- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَثَلُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِذَا قَامُوا لِرَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ مَثَلُ السَّهْمِ فِي الْقُرْبِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا مَوْضِعُ قَدَمِهِ كَالسَّهْمِ فِي الْكِنَانَةِ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَزُولَ هَاهُنَا وَ لَا هَاهُنَا.

H 14558 – And by this chain, from Hafs, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The example of the people of the Day of Judgement when they stand before the Lordazwj of the Worlds, where they will have no space for movement for themselves except for their feet, like the arrows (tightly packed) in the quiver, not having the ability for going over there or over there’.

14559- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ حَفْصٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَتَخَلَّلُ بَسَاتِينَ الْكُوفَةِ فَانْتَهَى إِلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ عِنْدَهَا ثُمَّ رَكَعَ وَ سَجَدَ فَأَحْصَيْتُ فِي سُجُودِهِ خَمْسَمِائَةِ تَسْبِيحَةٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى النَّخْلَةِ فَدَعَا بِدَعَوَاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَفْصٍ إِنَّهَا وَ اللَّهِ النَّخْلَةُ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ لِمَرْيَمَ (عليها السلام) وَ هُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُساقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَباً جَنِيًّا.

H 14559 – And by this chain, from Hafs who said:

I saw Abu Abdullahasws alone in the gardens of Al-Kufa. Heasws came to a palm tree, so heasws performed ablution near it, then bowed and prostrated. I counted in hisasws prostration five hundred Glorifications (Tasbeeh). Then heasws leaned on the palm tree and supplicated by a supplication. Then heasws said: ‘O Abu Hafs! By Allahazwj, it is the palm tree about which Allahazwj Said to Maryamas: “[19:25] And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates”.

14560- حَفْصٌ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) اشْتَدَّتْ مَئُونَةُ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَئُونَةُ الْآخِرَةِ أَمَّا مَئُونَةُ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَمُدُّ يَدَكَ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهَا إِلَّا وَجَدْتَ فَاجِراً قَدْ سَبَقَكَ إِلَيْهَا وَ أَمَّا مَئُونَةُ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَجِدُ أَعْوَاناً يُعِينُونَكَ عَلَيْهَا.

H 14560 – Hafs, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has narrated that ‘Isaas said: ‘It is intensely difficult to collect the provisions of the world and the provisions of the Hereafter, As for the provisions of the world, so you will not extend your hand towards something except that you will find an immoral one has preceded you for it, and as for the provisions of the Hereafter, so you will not find any helper who will help you for it’.

H 14561 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Ammaar who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Whichever Believer complains of his need and presents it to an Infidel or to the one who is opposed to his Religion, so it is as if he has complained against Allahazwj before an enemy from the enemies of Allahazwj. And whichever Believing man complains of his need and presents it to a Believer like him, so it is as if he has complained to Allahazwj’.

H 14562 – Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Al-Waleed Bin Sabeeh, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Suleyman Bin Dawoodas that: “The sign of youras death is a tree which will come out from Bayt Al-Maqdas called Al-Kharnouba”. Suleymanas looked around one day and there was Al-Kharnouba tree which had emerged from Bayt Al-Maqdas. So heas said to it: ‘What is your name?’ It said, ‘Al-Kharnouba’. Suleymanas turned back to hisas Prayer Niche and stood leaning upon his staff. Hisas soul was Captured (passed away) in that moment.

فَجَعَلَتِ الْجِنُّ وَ الْإِنْسُ يَخْدُمُونَهُ وَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِي أَمْرِهِ كَمَا كَانُوا وَ هُمْ يَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُ حَيٌّ لَمْ يَمُتْ يَغْدُونَ وَ يَرُوحُونَ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ ثَابِتٌ حَتَّى دَبَّتِ الْأَرَضَةُ مِنْ عَصَاهُ فَأَكَلَتْ مِنْسَأَتَهُ فَانْكَسَرَتْ وَ خَرَّ سُلَيْمَانُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَ فَلَا تَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ الْجِنُّ أَنْ لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ الْغَيْبَ ما لَبِثُوا فِي الْعَذابِ الْمُهِينِ.

The Jinn and the human beings kept on serving himas and were striving in hisas command as before, and they were thinking that heas was alive and had not died. The morning came and passed, and heas was still standing still, until the woodworm gnawed away at hisas staff and it broke, and Suleymanas fell down upon the ground. Have you not heard the Statemennt of the Mighty and Majestic: “[34:14] and when it fell down, the jinn came to know plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in abasing torment”.

H 14563 – Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Sudeyr, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Jabir Bin Abdullahar informed measws that when the Polytheists used to pass by the Rasool Allahsaww, they would incline their heads and cover their heads with their clothes so that the Rasool Allahsaww would not see (recognise) them. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed: “[11:5] Now surely they fold up their breasts that they may conceal (their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they use their garments as a covering, He knows what they conceal and what they make public”.

H 14564 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al-Howl, from Sallaam Bin Al-Mustaneer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Allahazwj Created the Paradise before Heazwj Created the Fire, and Created the obedience before Heazwj Created the disobedience, and Created the Mercy before the Anger, and Created the good before the evil, and Created the earth before the sky, and Created the life before the death, and Created the sun before the moon, and Created the ‘النُّورَ’ (the Divine Light) before the darkness’.

14565- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَيْرَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ وَ مَا كَانَ لِيَخْلُقَ الشَّرَّ قَبْلَ الْخَيْرِ وَ فِي يَوْمِ الْأَحَدِ وَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ خَلَقَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ خَلَقَ أَقْوَاتَهَا فِي يَوْمِ الثَّلَاثَاءِ وَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ خَلَقَ أَقْوَاتَهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ.

H 14565 – From him, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘Allahazwj Created the good on the day of Sunday, and Heazwj did not Create the evil before the good. And during the day of Sunday and the Monday Created the firmaments and created their sustenance during the day of Tuesday, and Created the Skies on the day of Wednesday and Thursday, and Created their sustenance on the day of Friday, and that is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic; “[32:4] Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days”.

H 14566 – Ibn Mahboub, from Hanaan and Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Zurara who said:

I said to himasws, ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[7:16] I will certainly lie in wait for them in Thy straight path [7:17] Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and Thou shalt not find most of them thankful”, so Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘O Zurara! But rather, he (Satanla) is lying in wait for you and for your companions. So as for the other ones, he has finished from them’.

Yahya Bin Sabour came up to Abu Abdullahasws to say farewell to himasws. So Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘By Allahazwj! You are upon the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just, and that the ones opposed to you are upon other than the Just. By Allahazwj! Iasws have no doubt for you with regards to the Paradise, and Iasws hope that Allahazwj would Delight your eyes very soon’.

H 14568 – Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Abu Baseer who said:

I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, do youasws see the one who rejects this matter (Al-Wilayah) to me as if he has rejected youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The one who rejects this matter to you, so he has rejected against the Rasool Allahsaww, and against Allahazwj Blessed and High. O Abu Muhammad! The dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is the martyr’. I said, ‘Even if he died upon his bed?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, even if he died upon his bed, he is alive in the Presence of his Lordazwj being given Sustenance’.

H 14569 – Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Habeeb who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘By Allahazwj! There is no one from the people more beloved to measws than you are, and that the people have gone in various directions. So among them is the ‘one’ who takes (religion) to his own opinion, and among them is one who follows his own desires, and among them is the one who follows the narration (Al-Riwayah), and you all have grabbed to a matter for which there is an origin. So it is for you to observe piety, and the struggle, and bear witness to the funerals, and console the sick, and be present with your people in their Masjids for the Prayers. Is it not shameful for the man among you that his right is being observed by his neighbour whilst he himself does not observe the rights of his neighbour?’

14570- عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَا مَالِكُ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَ تُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَ تَكُفُّوا وَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ يَا مَالِكُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ ائْتَمُّوا بِإِمَامٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَلْعَنُهُمْ وَ يَلْعَنُونَهُ إِلَّا أَنْتُمْ وَ مَنْ كَانَ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِكُمْ يَا مَالِكُ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ وَ اللَّهِ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ لَشَهِيدٌ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الضَّارِبِ بِسَيْفِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ.

H 14570 – From him, from Ibn Muskaan, from maalik Al-Juhny who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘O Maalik! Will you not be happy that you establish the Prayer, and you give the Zakaat, and you restrain yourself, and you enter the Paradise? O Maalik! There is none from the people who followed the imam in the world except that he (their imam) will come on the Day of Judgement cursing them and they would be cursing him except for you and the one who is similar to your condition. O Maalik! By Allahazwj, the dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is a martyr of the status of the striker with his sword in the Way of Allahazwj’.

14571- يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ وَصَلْتُمْ وَ قَطَعَ النَّاسُ وَ أَحْبَبْتُمْ وَ أَبْغَضَ النَّاسُ وَ عَرَفْتُمْ وَ أَنْكَرَ النَّاسُ وَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَبْداً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَهُ نَبِيّاً وَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) كَانَ عَبْداً نَاصِحاً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَنَصَحَهُ وَ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَحَبَّهُ

H 14571 – Yahya Al-Halby, from Basheer Al-Kunasy who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘You have maintained relations whilst the people have cut-off, and you loved whilst the people hated (you), and you recognised whilst the people denied, and it is the ‘الْحَقُّ’ Just. Allahazwj Took Muhammadsaww to be a servant before Heazwj Took himsaww as a Prophet, and that Aliasws used to be a servant, and advisor for the Sake of Allahzwj Mighty and Majestic. So heasws was blessed and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Loved himasws, and heasws loved Himazwj.

إِنَّ حَقَّنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ بَيِّنٌ لَنَا صَفْوُ الْأَمْوَالِ وَ لَنَا الْأَنْفَالُ وَ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاعَتَنَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتَمُّونَ بِمَنْ لَا يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ بِجَهَالَتِهِ وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَنْ مَاتَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ إِمَامٌ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ بِالطَّاعَةِ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُمْ أَصْحَابَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام)

Surely, ourasws Rights in the Book of Allahazwj are clear. For usasws is the clean wealth, and for usasws is the Spoils of war (Al-Anfaal- Khums), and that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Obligated the people to be obedient to usasws, since you follow but the people have no excuse for their ignorance. And the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The one who dies and he has no Imam for him has died the death of a pagan. So it is upon you to obey, and you have seen the companions of Aliasws.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ ادْعُوا لِي خَلِيلِي فَأَرْسَلَتَا إِلَى أَبَوَيْهِمَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَا أَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِي خَلِيلِي فَقَالَا قَدْ رَآنَا لَوْ أَرَادَنَا لَكَلَّمَنَا فَأَرْسَلَتَا إِلَى عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ يُحَدِّثُهُ وَ يُحَدِّثُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ لَقِيَاهُ فَقَالَا مَا حَدَّثَكَ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي بِأَلْفِ بَابٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ يُفْتَحُ كُلُّ بَابٍ إِلَى أَلْفِ بَابٍ.

Then heasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said during his illness in which hesaww passed away: ‘Call mysaww friend for mesaww!’. So two (females) sent for their respective fathers, but when they came, hesaww turned hissaww face away, then said: ‘Call mysaww friend for mesaww!’ They (two fathers) said, ‘Hesaww would have looked at us had hesaww intended to speak to us’. So they sent for Aliasws. So when heasws came, heasws leaned across towards himsaww, and hesaww narrated to himasws, and narrated to himasws until he was free from it. So (the two fathers) met himasws and said, ‘What did hesaww narrated to youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Hesaww narrated to measws by a thousand doors of the knowledge, each door of which opens to a (further) thousand doors’.

H 14572 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al-Nahdy, from Musa Bin Umar Bin Bazi’e who said:

‘I said to Al-Rezaasws that, ‘The people are reporting that the Rasool Allahsaww, whenever hesaww used to take to a road, would return via another road. So this is what hesaww used to do’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, as Iasws do so quite frequently, so do it’. Then heasws said to me: ‘But rather, it is better for your sustenance’.

14573- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ إِخْوَانِي يَبْلُغُنِي عَنْهُ الشَّيْ‏ءُ الَّذِي أَكْرَهُهُ فَأَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَيُنْكِرُ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ ثِقَاتٌ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ كَذِّبْ سَمْعَكَ وَ بَصَرَكَ عَنْ أَخِيكَ فَإِنْ شَهِدَ عِنْدَكَ خَمْسُونَ قَسَامَةً وَ قَالَ لَكَ قَوْلًا فَصَدِّقْهُ وَ كَذِّبْهُمْ لَا تُذِيعَنَّ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً تَشِينُهُ بِهِ وَ تَهْدِمُ بِهِ مُرُوءَتَهُ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَشِيعَ الْفاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ.

H 14573 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al-Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabalat, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, who has narrated the following:

Abu Al-Hassan the Firstasws replied, when I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, (its about) a man from our brethren, a matter has reached me about him which I dislike, so I ask about that but he denies that, and it has been informed to me from reliable people’. Heasws said to me: ‘O Muhammad, deny your hearing and your vision about your brother even though fifty have testified in your presence under oath, and if he says something to you, so ratify him and belie them. Do not publicise anything against him which would disgrace him and destroy his magnanimity, for you will become those for whom Allahazwj has Said in Hisazwj Book: “[24:19] Surely (as for) those who love that scandal should circulate respecting those who believe, they shall have a grievous chastisement in this world and the hereafter; and Allah knows, while you do not know”.

حَدِيثُ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ

HADEETH ABOUT THE ONE WHO IS BORN IN AL-ISLAM

14574- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنِ الْحُبَابِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ حُرّاً فَهُوَ عَرَبِيٌّ وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَهْدٌ فَخُفِرَ فِي عَهْدِهِ فَهُوَ مَوْلًى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ طَوْعاً فَهُوَ مُهَاجِرٌ.

H 14574 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Abdu Rabbahu Bin Raf’e Al-Hubaab Bin Musa, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The one born in Al-Islam as a free person, so he is an Arab, and the one who had a treaty for him and he kept to it, so he is a slave of the Rasool Allahsaww, and the one who entered in Al-Islam willingly, so he is an emigrant’.

14575- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَنْ أَصْبَحَ وَ أَمْسَى وَ عِنْدَهُ ثَلَاثٌ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ النِّعْمَةُ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَنْ أَصْبَحَ وَ أَمْسَى مُعَافًى فِي بَدَنِهِ آمِناً فِي سَرْبِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ الرَّابِعَةُ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ النِّعْمَةُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ هُوَ الْإِسْلَامُ.

H 14575 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’adat Bin Sadaqa, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The one who goes through his mornings and evenings whilst having three things, so the bounties of the world are complete for him - the one who goes through his mornings and evenings with good physical health, security in his flock, and has his day’s provisions in his possession. So if he were to have the fourth, so the bounties in the world and the Hereafter would be complete for him, and it is Al-Islam’.

14576- عَنْهُ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) [عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع] أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ وَ قَدْ كَلَّمَهُ بِكَلَامٍ كَثِيرٍ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ تَحْتَقِرُ الْكَلَامَ وَ تَسْتَصْغِرُهُ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ رُسُلَهُ حَيْثُ بَعَثَهَا وَ مَعَهَا ذَهَبٌ وَ لَا فِضَّةٌ وَ لَكِنْ بَعَثَهَا بِالْكَلَامِ وَ إِنَّمَا عَرَّفَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ نَفْسَهُ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ بِالْكَلَامِ وَ الدَّلَالَاتِ عَلَيْهِ وَ الْأَعْلَامِ.

H 14576 – From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said to a man who spoke to him by a lengthy speech, so heasws said: ‘O you man who belittles the speech, and considers knowledge to be insignificant, know that Allahazwj did not Send Hisazwj Rasoolas along with gold and silver, but Heazwj Sent himsaww by the speech. But rather, Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty Made Himselfazwj Recognised to the creatures by the speech, and the evidence (pointing) towards Himazwj, and the Signs’.

14577- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ خَلْقاً إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِ آخَرَ يَغْلِبُهُ فِيهِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا خَلَقَ الْبِحَارَ السُّفْلَى فَخَرَتْ وَ زَخَرَتْ وَ قَالَتْ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فَسَطَحَهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا فَذَلَّتْ

H 14577 – And by this chain:

Heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic did not Create a creature except that Heazwj Commanded another one to overcome it, and that Allahazwj Blessed and High, when Heazwj Created the deeper ocean, it prided itself and moved its waves and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the earth, so it (ocean) surfaced upon its back, and so it became submissive. 

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْأَرْضَ فَخَرَتْ وَ قَالَتْ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ الْجِبَالَ فَأَثْبَتَهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِهَا أَوْتَاداً مِنْ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِمَا عَلَيْهَا فَذَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ اسْتَقَرَّتْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْجِبَالَ فَخَرَتْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَشَمَخَتْ وَ اسْتَطَالَتْ وَ قَالَتْ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ الْحَدِيدَ فَقَطَعَهَا فَقَرَّتِ الْجِبَالُ وَ ذَلَّتْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْحَدِيدَ فَخَرَتْ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ وَ قَالَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ النَّارَ فَأَذَابَتِ الْحَدِيدَ فَذَلَّ الْحَدِيدُ

Then heasws said; ‘The earth prided itself and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the mountains and Established them as pegs upon its back, so stop it from swaying due to what is upon her. So the earth became submissive and stabilised. Then the mountain prided itself over the earth, so it became bigger and taller, and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the iron which cut it, and so the mountain calmed down and became submissive. Then the iron prided itself over the mountain and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the Fire which melted it, and so the iron became submissive.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّارَ زَفَرَتْ وَ شَهَقَتْ وَ فَخَرَتْ وَ قَالَتْ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ الْمَاءَ فَأَطْفَأَهَا فَذَلَّتْ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَاءَ فَخَرَ وَ زَخَرَ وَ قَالَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ الرِّيحَ فَحَرَّكَتْ أَمْوَاجَهُ وَ أَثَارَتْ مَا فِي قَعْرِهِ وَ حَبَسَتْهُ عَنْ مَجَارِيهِ فَذَلَّ الْمَاءُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرِّيحَ فَخَرَتْ وَ عَصَفَتْ وَ أَرْخَتْ أَذْيَالَهَا وَ قَالَتْ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَغْلِبُنِي فَخَلَقَ الْإِنْسَانَ فَبَنَى وَ احْتَالَ وَ اتَّخَذَ مَا يَسْتَتِرُ بِهِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ وَ غَيْرِهَا فَذَلَّتِ الرِّيحُ

Then the fire exhaled and gasped (blazed), and prided itself and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the water which extinguished it, and so it became submissive. Then the water prided itself and overflowed and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the wind which moved its waves and raised what was in its bottom, and restrained it from its direction, and so the water became submissive. Then the wind prided itself, raged and loosened its tails and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So Heazwj Created the human being who built shelters and tricked the wind by veiling himself from it and other, so the wind became humble.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ طَغَى وَ قَالَ مَنْ أَشَدُّ مِنِّي قُوَّةً فَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْمَوْتَ فَقَهَرَهُ فَذَلَّ الْإِنْسَانُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ فَخَرَ فِي نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا تَفْخَرْ فَإِنِّي ذَابِحُكَ بَيْنَ الْفَرِيقَيْنِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ ثُمَّ لَا أُحْيِيكَ أَبَداً فَتُرْجَى أَوْ تُخَافَ

Then the human being rebelled and said, ‘Who is stronger than me?’ So Heazwj Created the death for him, which defeated him, and so he became submissive. Then the death prided itself so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Do not be proud, for Iazwj will Slaughter you in between the two sects – the people of the Paradise and the people of the Fire, then Iazwj will not Revive you ever, whether you return (repent) or you fear”.

وَ قَالَ أَيْضاً وَ الْحِلْمُ يَغْلِبُ الْغَضَبَ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ تَغْلِبُ السُّخْطَ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ تَغْلِبُ الْخَطِيئَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَا أَشْبَهَ هَذَا مِمَّا قَدْ يَغْلِبُ غَيْرَهُ.

And heasws also said: ‘And the forbearance overcomes the anger, and the mercy overcomes the harshness, and the charity overcomes the sins’. Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘There is more like this where one thing overcomes the other’.

14578- عَنْهُ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَهَلْ أَنْتَ مُسْتَوْصٍ إِنْ أَنَا أَوْصَيْتُكَ حَتَّى قَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً وَ فِي كُلِّهَا يَقُولُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَإِنِّي أُوصِيكَ إِذَا أَنْتَ هَمَمْتَ بِأَمْرٍ فَتَدَبَّرْ عَاقِبَتَهُ فَإِنْ يَكُ رُشْداً فَامْضِهِ وَ إِنْ يَكُ غَيّاً فَانْتَهِ عَنْهُ.

H 14578 – From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘A man came to the Prophetsaww and said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, advise me’. The Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘So will you follow it if Isaww give advice to you?’ To the extent that hesaww said that to him three times, and during each of which the man said to himsaww, Yes, O Rasool Allahsaww’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘So Isaww hereby advise you that whenever you feel like doing something, ponder over its consequences, for if there is guidance for you, so do it, and if it is a straying for you, so abstain from it’.

14579- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَالَ ارْحَمُوا عَزِيزاً ذَلَّ وَ غَنِيّاً افْتَقَرَ وَ عَالِماً ضَاعَ فِي زَمَانِ جُهَّالٍ.

H 14579 – And by this chain, who has narrated the following:

Imamasws said that: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘Be merciful towards a mighty one who has been humbled, and a rich one who has become poor, and a scholar who is wasted in the era of the ignorant ones.

14580- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ لِأَصْحَابِهِ يَوْماً لَا تَطْعُنُوا فِي عُيُوبِ مَنْ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْكُمْ بِمَوَدَّتِهِ وَ لَا تُوَقِّفُوهُ عَلَى سَيِّئَةٍ يَخْضَعُ لَهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ لَا مِنْ أَخْلَاقِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ

H 14580 – And by this chain, he said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying to hisasws companions one day: ‘Do not find faults with the one who comes to you with his cordiality, and do not let him remain upon the sins which he is indulging in, for it is not from the morals of the Rasool Allahsaww, nor is it from the morals of hisasws friends.

قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَا وَرَّثَ الْآبَاءُ لِأَبْنَائِهِمُ الْأَدَبُ لَا الْمَالُ فَإِنَّ الْمَالَ يَذْهَبُ وَ الْأَدَبَ يَبْقَى قَالَ مَسْعَدَةُ يَعْنِي بِالْأَدَبِ الْعِلْمَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The best inheritance which the fathers can leave for their children is the etiquettes (discipline) and not the wealth, for the wealth goes away whilst the discipline remains’. Mas’adat (the narrator) said, ‘What is meant by the discipline is the knowledge’.

قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنْ أُجِّلْتَ فِي عُمُرِكَ يَوْمَيْنِ فَاجْعَلْ أَحَدَهُمَا لِأَدَبِكَ لِتَسْتَعِينَ بِهِ عَلَى يَوْمِ مَوْتِكَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَ مَا تِلْكَ الِاسْتِعَانَةُ قَالَ تُحْسِنُ تَدْبِيرَ مَا تُخَلِّفُ وَ تُحْكِمُهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘If there are two days left from your life, so make one of them for your manners to seek help for the day of your death’. So it was said to himasws, ‘And what is that which is the help?’ Heasws said: ‘Good management of what you leave behind and what you order for’.

قَالَ وَ كَتَبَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِلَى رَجُلٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ الْمُنَافِقَ لَا يَرْغَبُ فِيمَا قَدْ سَعِدَ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ السَّعِيدُ يَتَّعِظُ بِمَوْعِظَةِ التَّقْوَى وَ إِنْ كَانَ يُرَادُ بِالْمَوْعِظَةِ غَيْرُهُ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullahasws wrote to a man: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, so the hypocrite does not like that which makes the Believers to be happy, and the happy one is he who heeds the advice of the piety, even if the advice is meant for the others’.

14581- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ النَّاسُ أَهْلُ رِيَاءٍ غَيْرَكُمْ وَ ذَلِكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَخْفَيْتُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَظْهَرْتُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ النَّاسُ وَ النَّاسُ أَظْهَرُوا مَا يُسْخِطُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَخْفَوْا مَا يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَأَفَ بِكُمْ فَجَعَلَ الْمُتْعَةَ عِوَضاً لَكُمْ عَنِ الْأَشْرِبَةِ.

H 14581 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat who said, ‘Informed me, some of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘O Ibn Muslim, the people are show-offs apart from you, and that is what you have concealed what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Loves, and have displayed what the people love, whilst the people have displayed what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Angered by, and concealed what Allahazwj Loves. O Ibn Muslim, Allahazwj Blessed and High Sympathised with you, so Heazwj Made the Mut’a (Temporary marriage) (Permissible) instead of the (intoxicating) drinks’.

14582- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) قَالَ لِيَ الْمَأْمُونُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ لَوْ كَتَبْتَ إِلَى بَعْضِ مَنْ يُطِيعُكَ فِي هَذِهِ النَّوَاحِي الَّتِي قَدْ فَسَدَتْ عَلَيْنَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنْ وَفَيْتَ لِي وَفَيْتُ لَكَ إِنَّمَا دَخَلْتُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ الَّذِي دَخَلْتُ فِيهِ عَلَى أَنْ لَا آمُرَ وَ لَا أَنْهَى وَ لَا أُوَلِّيَ وَ لَا أَعْزِلَ وَ مَا زَادَنِي هَذَا الْأَمْرُ الَّذِي دَخَلْتُ فِيهِ فِي النِّعْمَةِ عِنْدِي شَيْئاً

H 14582 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muammar Bin Khallaad who said:

Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws said to me: ‘Al-Ma’moun said to measws, ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws, if youasws could write to some of the ones who are obedient to youasws in these areas in which their relationship with us is spoilt’. Iasws said to him: ‘O Chief of believers, if you fulfil (your commitment) to measws, Iasws would (fulfil myasws commitment) to you, but rather, Iasws have entered into this matter in which Iasws have been entered into, Iasws do not issue commands, nor do Iasws prohibit, nor do Iasws appoint anyone, nor do Iasws dismiss anyone, and this matter which Iasws have entered into has not increased anything for measws regarding the favours.

وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ كِتَابِي يَنْفُذُ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْكَبُ حِمَارِي وَ أَمُرُّ فِي سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَا بِهَا أَعَزُّ مِنِّي وَ مَا كَانَ بِهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ يَسْأَلُنِي حَاجَةً يُمْكِنُنِي قَضَاؤُهَا لَهُ إِلَّا قَضَيْتُهَا لَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَفِي لَكَ.

And Iasws used to be in Al-Medina, and myasws letter would be established in the east and the west, and Iasws would ride upon myasws mule and pass by in the markets of Al-Medina, and there would be no one more prestigious than measws, and there was none among them who would question measws for a need with the possibility of myasws fulfilling it, except that Iasws would fulfill it for him’. He said, ‘I will fulfill (my commitment) to youasws’.

Then Heazwj Commanded the fire, so it was extinguished and from its smoldering a smoke arose. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Heavens from that smoke, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the earth from the ashes. Then the water, and the fire, and the wind contended. So the water said, ‘I am the great army of Allahazwj’, and the fire said, ‘I am the great army of Allahazwj, and the wind said, ‘I am the great army of Allahazwj’. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto the wind: “You are Myazwj Great army’.

H 14591 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Najraan, from Safwaan, from Halaf Bin Hammaad, from Al-Husayn Bin Zayd Al-Hashimy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Zaynab the perfume seller came to the wives and the daughters of the Prophetsaww, and she used to sell the perfume to them. The Prophetsaww came over whilst she was among them. So hesaww said: ‘You bring aroma to oursaww house’. She said, ‘Yoursaww house is better in aroma due to yoursaww fragrance, O Rasool Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘When you sell, do it well and do not cheat, for it would be more pious and protective of the wealth’. She said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, I did not come to sell anything, but rather I came to ask yousaww about the Magnificence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. So hesaww said: ‘Majestic is the Majesty of Allahazwj. Isaww shall tell you about some of that’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضَ بِمَنْ عَلَيْهَا عِنْدَ الَّتِي تَحْتَهَا كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ هَاتَانِ بِمَنْ فِيهِمَا وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِمَا عِنْدَ الَّتِي تَحْتَهَا كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ الثَّالِثَةُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى السَّابِعَةِ وَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ خَلَقَ سَبْعَ سَماواتٍ وَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَهُنَّ وَ السَّبْعُ الْأَرَضِينَ بِمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِنَّ عَلَى ظَهْرِ الدِّيكِ كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ الدِّيكُ لَهُ جَنَاحَانِ جَنَاحٌ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ جَنَاحٌ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَ رِجْلَاهُ فِي التُّخُومِ وَ السَّبْعُ وَ الدِّيكُ بِمَنْ فِيهِ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى الصَّخْرَةِ كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ

Then hesaww said: ‘This earth with what is upon it, compared to that which is below it, it like a ring thrown in the desert, and these two with what is within them and what is upon them, compared to what is beneath them is like a ring thrown in the desert, and the third one, until it ends with the seventh’. And hesaww recited this Verse: “[65:12] Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number”. The seven earths (firmaments) along with all that is contained within it and what is on it are upon the back of the rooster, like a ring thrown in the desert. And the rooster has two wings to it – a wing in the east and a wing in the west, and its legs are on the fringes of it, and the seven (firmaments) and the rooster and all that is contained with these and whatever is on it, are upon a rock, like a ring thrown in the desert.

وَ الصَّخْرَةُ بِمَنْ فِيهَا وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْحُوتِ كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ السَّبْعُ وَ الدِّيكُ وَ الصَّخْرَةُ وَ الْحُوتُ بِمَنْ فِيهِ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ الْمُظْلِمِ كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ السَّبْعُ وَ الدِّيكُ وَ الصَّخْرَةُ وَ الْحُوتُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمُظْلِمُ عَلَى الْهَوَاءِ الذَّاهِبِ كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ السَّبْعُ وَ الدِّيكُ وَ الصَّخْرَةُ وَ الْحُوتُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمُظْلِمُ وَ الْهَوَاءُ عَلَى الثَّرَى كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما وَ ما تَحْتَ الثَّرى ثُمَّ انْقَطَعَ الْخَبَرُ عِنْدَ الثَّرَى

And the rock along with all that it contains, and all that is on it, are upon the back of the whale like a ring thrown in the desert. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale along with that they contain and what is on them are upon the dark ocean like a ring thrown in the desert. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale, and the dark ocean are upon the outgoing air like a ring thrown in the desert. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale, and the dark ocean, and the air are upon the soil (Al-Sarayy) like a ring thrown in the desert’. Then hesaww recited this Verse: “[20:6] To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil”. Then the information about the soil (Al-Sarayy) is terminated.

وَ السَّبْعُ وَ الدِّيكُ وَ الصَّخْرَةُ وَ الْحُوتُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمُظْلِمُ وَ الْهَوَاءُ وَ الثَّرَى بِمَنْ فِيهِ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ السَّمَاءِ الْأُولَى كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ وَ سَمَاءُ الدُّنْيَا بِمَنْ عَلَيْهَا وَ مَنْ فِيهَا عِنْدَ الَّتِي فَوْقَهَا كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ هَاتَانِ السَّمَاءَانِ وَ مَنْ فِيهِمَا وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِمَا عِنْدَ الَّتِي فَوْقَهُمَا كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثُ بِمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِنَّ عِنْدَ الرَّابِعَةِ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى السَّابِعَةِ

And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale, and the dark ocean, and the air, and the soil (Al-Sarayy) along with all that these contain and whatever is on it, compared to the first sky is like a ring thrown in the desert. And all of this, and the sky of the world along with what is on it and what is contained within it, compared to that which is above it, is like a ring thrown in the desert. And these two skies and whatever these two contain, and what is on them, compared to what is above these two, are like a ring thrown in the desert. And these three, along with what is contained within them and whatever is on them, compared to the fourth, are like a ring thrown in the desert, (and it is like this) until it ends with the seventh.

وَ هُنَّ وَ مَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِنَّ عِنْدَ الْبَحْرِ الْمَكْفُوفِ عَنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمَكْفُوفُ عِنْدَ جِبَالِ الْبَرَدِ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَ يُنَزِّلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ مِنْ جِبالٍ فِيها مِنْ بَرَدٍ وَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمَكْفُوفُ وَ جِبَالُ الْبَرَدِ عِنْدَ الْهَوَاءِ الَّذِي تَحَارُ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمَكْفُوفُ وَ جِبَالُ الْبَرَدِ وَ الْهَوَاءُ عِنْدَ حُجُبِ النُّورِ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ

And these and all that is contained within them and whatever is on them, compared to the ocean hidden from the people of the earth, is like a ring thrown in the desert. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, compared to the cold mountain are like a ring thrown in the desert’. And hesaww recited this Verse: “[24:43] And He sends down of the clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail”. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, compared to the air which the hearts are confused about, are like a ring thrown in the desert. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, and the air, compared to veils of the light are like a ring thrown in the desert.

وَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمَكْفُوفُ وَ جِبَالُ الْبَرَدِ وَ الْهَوَاءُ وَ حُجُبُ النُّورِ عِنْدَ الْكُرْسِيِّ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ وَ هَذِهِ السَّبْعُ وَ الْبَحْرُ الْمَكْفُوفُ وَ جِبَالُ الْبَرَدِ وَ الْهَوَاءُ وَ حُجُبُ النُّورِ وَ الْكُرْسِيُّ عِنْدَ الْعَرْشِ كَحَلْقَةٍ فِي فَلَاةٍ قِيٍّ وَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ الرَّحْمنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوى [وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْحَسَنِ] الْحُجُبُ قَبْلَ الْهَوَاءِ الَّذِي تَحَارُ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ.

And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, and the air, and the veils of the light, compared to the Chair (Al-Kursy) are like a ring thrown in the desert’. And hesaww recited this Verse: “[2:255] His Throne (Chair) includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous”. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, and the air, and veils of the light, and the Chair, compared to the Throne are like a ring thrown in the desert’. And hesaww recite this Verse: “[20:5] The Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne”. (And in the report of Al-Hassan) – ‘The veils before the air about which the hearts are confused’.

H 14592 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Yazeed Al-Kunasy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said that; ‘The Rasool Allahsaww had stayed at one man’s house in Al-Taef before the Islamic era. He had honoured himsaww. So when Allahazwj Sent Muhammadsaww to the people, it was said to the man, ‘Do you know the one whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Sent to the people?’ He said, ‘No’. They said, ‘Hesaww is Muhammad Bin Abdullahsaww, the orphan of Abu Talibas, and hesaww is the one whom stayed with you at Al-Taef on such and such a day. You had honoured himsaww’.

قَالَ فَقَدِمَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَ تَعْرِفُنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا رَبُّ الْمَنْزِلِ الَّذِي نَزَلْتَ بِهِ بِالطَّائِفِ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَكْرَمْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَرْحَباً بِكَ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ فَقَالَ أَسْأَلُكَ مِائَتَيْ شَاةٍ بِرُعَاتِهَا فَأَمَرَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِمَا سَأَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي سُؤَالَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى (عليه السلام) فَقَالُوا وَ مَا سَأَلَتْ عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لِمُوسَى

Imamasws said: ‘The man went to the Rasool Allahsaww. He greeted himsaww, then said to himsaww, ‘Do yousaww recognise me, O Rasool Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘And who are you?’ He said, ‘I am the lord of the house where yousaww stayed in at Al-Taef during the pre-Islamic period on such and such a day. I honoured yousaww’. The Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘Welcome to you. Ask for your need’. So he said, ‘I ask yousaww for a hundred sheep along with its shepherd’. So the Rasool Allahsaww ordered for him what he had asked for, then said to hissaww companions: ‘What was it with this man that he did not ask mesaww what the elderly woman of the Children of Israel asked to Musaas?’ They said, ‘And what did the elderly woman of the Children of Israel ask to Musaas?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ أَوْحَى إِلَى مُوسَى أَنِ احْمِلْ عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ مِنْ مِصْرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْهَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ بِالشَّامِ فَسَأَلَ مُوسَى عَنْ قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ (عليه السلام) فَجَاءَهُ شَيْخٌ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ قَبْرَهُ فَفُلَانَةُ فَأَرْسَلَ مُوسَى (عليه السلام) إِلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا جَاءَتْهُ قَالَ تَعْلَمِينَ مَوْضِعَ قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ (عليه السلام) قَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدُلِّينِي عَلَيْهِ وَ لَكِ مَا سَأَلْتِ

So hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Revealed unto Musaas that: “Carry the bones of Yusufas from Egypt, before youas leave from it, to the Holy land in Syria”. Musaas asked about the grave of Yusufas. An old man came up and said, ‘If there is anyone who would recognise hisas grave it would be such and such a woman. So Musaas sent for her. When she came, heas said: ‘Do you recognise the place of the grave of Yusufas?’ She said, ‘Yes’. Point it out to meas and you can have whatever you ask for’.

قَالَ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا بِحُكْمِي قَالَ فَلَكِ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَتْ لَا إِلَّا بِحُكْمِي عَلَيْكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مُوسَى لَا يَكْبُرُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لَهَا حُكْمَهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا مُوسَى فَلَكِ حُكْمُكِ قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ حُكْمِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ فِي دَرَجَتِكَ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِيهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا كَانَ عَلَى هَذَا لَوْ سَأَلَنِي مَا سَأَلَتْ عَجُوزُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

She said, ‘I will not point it out to you except under my command’. Heas said: ‘For you is the Paradise’. She said, ‘No, except by my command on youas’. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Musaas: “It is not a great thing to youas for it to be by her command”. So Musaas said to her: ‘For you is the command’. She said, ‘My command is that I should be with youas, in youras level which youas would be upon, on the Day of Judgement, in the Paradise’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘What was it with this (man) that he did not ask mesaww for what the elderly woman of the Children of Israel asked for?’

14593- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ كَانَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ تَوَدُّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ تُكْثِرُ التَّعَاهُدَ لَنَا وَ إِنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ لَقِيَهَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ هِيَ تُرِيدُنَا فَقَالَ لَهَا أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ يَا عَجُوزَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَتْ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أُجَدِّدُ بِهِمْ عَهْداً وَ أَقْضِي حَقَّهُمْ

H 14593 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There was a woman from the Helpers who had cordiality with usasws the Peopleasws of the Household, and used to frequently pledge her allegiance to usasws, and Umar Bin Al-Khattab met her one day whilst she was on her way to usasws. He said to her, ‘Where are you headed, O elderly woman of the Helpers?’ She said, ‘I am going to the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww to greet themasws, and renew my allegiance with themasws, and give theirasws rights to themasws.

فَقَالَ لَهَا عُمَرُ وَيْلَكِ لَيْسَ لَهُمُ الْيَوْمَ حَقٌّ عَلَيْكِ وَ لَا عَلَيْنَا إِنَّمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَمَّا الْيَوْمَ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ فَانْصَرِفِي فَانْصَرَفَتْ حَتَّى أَتَتْ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مَا ذَا أَبْطَأَ بِكِ عَنَّا فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ وَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا بِمَا قَالَتْ لِعُمَرَ وَ مَا قَالَ لَهَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ كَذَبَ لَا يَزَالُ حَقُّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَاجِباً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

So Umar said to her, ‘Woe be unto you! There are no rights for themasws today, neither from you nor from us. But rather, there used to be rights for them during the era of the Rasool Allahsaww. As for today, there are no rights for themasws, so leave’. So she left until she came up to Umm Salmaar. Umm Salmaar said to her, ‘What was it that delayed you in coming to usas?’ So she said, ‘I met Umar Bin Al-Khattaab’, and she informed heras of what she had said to Umar and what Umar had said to her’. So Umm Salmaar said to her, ‘He lied. The rights of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww have not stopped. They are Obligatory upon the Muslims up to the Day of Judgement’.

H 14594 – Ibn Mahboub, from Al-Haris Bin Muhammad Bin Al-No’man, from Bureyd Al-Ajaly who said:

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[3:170] and they rejoice for the sake of those who, (being left) behind them, have not yet joined them, that they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve”. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! These are ourasws Shiites, when their souls will arrive in the Paradise, and they will be Welcomed honourably from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, they would come to know and be convinced that they were upon the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just, and upon the Religion of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and they would receive the good news of the ones whom they had left behind from their brethren from the Believers. There would be no fear to come upon them, nor would they be in any grief’.

14595- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِنَّ خَيْراتٌ حِسانٌ قَالَ هُنَّ صَوَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْعَارِفَاتِ قَالَ قُلْتُ حُورٌ مَقْصُوراتٌ فِي الْخِيامِ قَالَ الْحُورُ هُنَّ الْبِيضُ الْمَضْمُومَاتُ الْمُخَدَّرَاتُ فِي خِيَامِ الدُّرِّ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ وَ الْمَرْجَانِ لِكُلِّ خَيْمَةٍ أَرْبَعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ سَبْعُونَ كَاعِباً حُجَّاباً لَهُنَّ وَ يَأْتِيهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ كَرَامَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ لِيُبَشِّرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

H 14595 – From him, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Al-Halby who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “ [55:70] In them are goodly things, beautiful ones”, said: ‘These would be the righteous believing women, who had recognised (Al-Wilayah)’. I said, “[55:72] Pure ones (Houries) confined to the pavilions”. Heasws said: ‘The Houries like protected eggs, preserved in the tents of the pearls, and the sapphire, and the coral. For every tent would be four doors, and on every door would be seventy veiled ones, and there will be coming them, Prestige from Allahazwj every day for giving good news to the Believer by these (Houries)’.

14596- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ لِلشَّمْسِ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَ سِتِّينَ بُرْجاً كُلُّ بُرْجٍ مِنْهَا مِثْلُ جَزِيرَةٍ مِنْ جَزَائِرِ الْعَرَبِ فَتَنْزِلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عَلَى بُرْجٍ مِنْهَا فَإِذَا غَابَتِ انْتَهَتْ إِلَى حَدِّ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ فَلَمْ تَزَلْ سَاجِدَةً إِلَى الْغَدِ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ مَطْلَعِهَا وَ مَعَهَا مَلَكَانِ يَهْتِفَانِ مَعَهَا وَ إِنَّ وَجْهَهَا لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ قَفَاهَا لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لَوْ كَانَ وَجْهُهَا لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ لَاحْتَرَقَتِ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ شِدَّةِ حَرِّهَا وَ مَعْنَى سُجُودِهَا مَا قَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى أَ لَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ النُّجُومُ وَ الْجِبالُ وَ الشَّجَرُ وَ الدَّوَابُّ وَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ.

H 14596 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad altogether, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kanany, from Al-Asbagh Bin Nabata who said:

Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘For the sun there are three hundred constellations. Each of the constellations from these is like an island from the islands of Arabia. So it descends upon a constellation from these each day. So when it disappears, it ends up to the limits beneath the Throne. It does not stop prostrating until the next day. Then it returns to the place of its rising, and with it are two Angels who hail with it and turn its face towards the people of the sky reversing it from the people of the earth. And had it faced the people of the earth, it would have burnt down the earth and the ones upon it due to the intensity of its heat. And the meaning of its prostration is what the Glorious and the High has Said: “[22:18] Do you not see that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind?”

14597- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) سَبْعِينَ حَدِيثاً لَمْ أُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَداً قَطُّ وَ لَا أُحَدِّثُ بِهَا أَحَداً أَبَداً فَلَمَّا مَضَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) ثَقُلَتْ عَلَى عُنُقِي وَ ضَاقَ بِهَا صَدْرِي فَأَتَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ حَدَّثَنِي سَبْعِينَ حَدِيثاً لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنِّي شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْهَا وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْهَا إِلَى أَحَدٍ وَ أَمَرَنِي بِسَتْرِهَا وَ قَدْ ثَقُلَتْ عَلَى عُنُقِي وَ ضَاقَ بِهَا صَدْرِي فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِذَا ضَاقَ بِكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَاخْرُجْ إِلَى الْجَبَّانَةِ وَ احْتَفِرْ حَفِيرَةً ثُمَّ دَلِّ رَأْسَكَ فِيهَا وَ قُلْ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا ثُمَّ طُمَّهُ فَإِنَّ الْأَرْضَ تَسْتُرُ عَلَيْكَ

H 14597 – A number of our companions, from Saleh Bin Abu Hammaad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, narrating from Jabir Bin Yazeed who said:

Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws narrated seventy Ahadeeth to me which heasws never narrated to anyone at all, and I never narrated these to anyone ever. So when Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws passed away (martyred), it became heavy upon my neck, and my chest was constricted by it, so I came up to Abu Abdullahasws and said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, yourasws fatherasws narrated seventy Ahadeeth to me from which nothing came out from me, nor did I ever bring anything out from these to anyone, and heasws ordered me to keep these as a secret. This has become heavy upon my neck and my chest has been constricted by it, so what is yourasws order for me?’ Heasws said: ‘O Jabir! If some of that constricts your chest, go to the cemetery and dig up a ditch, then enter your head inside it and say, ‘Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws narrated to me with such and such’, then cover it up. The earth will keep it as a secret for you’.

قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَخَفَّ عَنِّي مَا كُنْتُ أَجِدُهُ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ مِثْلَهُ.

Jabir said, ‘I did that, so it became lighter upon me from what I had been under’. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan (have narrated) similar to this.

14598- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لآَخُذَنَّ الْبَرِي‏ءَ مِنْكُمْ بِذَنْبِ السَّقِيمِ وَ لِمَ لَا أَفْعَلُ وَ يَبْلُغُكُمْ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مَا يَشِينُكُمْ وَ يَشِينُنِي فَتُجَالِسُونَهُمْ وَ تُحَدِّثُونَهُمْ فَيَمُرُّ بِكُمُ الْمَارُّ فَيَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ شَرٌّ مِنْ هَذَا فَلَوْ أَنَّكُمْ إِذَا بَلَغَكُمْ عَنْهُ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ زَبَرْتُمُوهُمْ وَ نَهَيْتُمُوهُمْ كَانَ أَبَرَّ بِكُمْ وَ بِي.

H 14598 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘I hold the innocent ones among you to be responsible for the sins of the morbid ones. And why should Iasws not do so, and there reaches you from that (evil) man which shames you as well as shames measws, but you are (still like to) sit with them and narrate from them. So passer-by passes by, so he says, ‘They are more evil than this one’. So if there reaches you from them what you dislike, express your abhorrence to them, and forbid them. That would be better for you and for measws’.

14599- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى فَلَمَّا نَسُوا ما ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ أَنْجَيْنَا الَّذِينَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ السُّوءِ قَالَ كَانُوا ثَلَاثَةَ أَصْنَافٍ صِنْفٌ ائْتَمَرُوا وَ أَمَرُوا فَنَجَوْا وَ صِنْفٌ ائْتَمَرُوا وَ لَمْ يَأْمُرُوا فَمُسِخُوا ذَرّاً وَ صِنْفٌ لَمْ يَأْتَمِرُوا وَ لَمْ يَأْمُرُوا فَهَلَكُوا.

H 14599 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Amro Bin Usman, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira, from Talha Bin Zayd, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of the Highazwj: “[7:165] So when they neglected what they had been reminded of, We delivered those who forbade evil”. Heasws said: ‘There were of three types – A type who were with the commands and they commanded others, so they were Rescued; and a type who were with the commands but they did not command others, so they were metamorphosed as particles; and a type who were not with the command and did not command others, so they perished’.

14600- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِلَى الشِّيعَةِ لَيَعْطِفَنَّ ذَوُو السِّنِّ مِنْكُمْ وَ النُّهَى عَلَى ذَوِي الْجَهْلِ وَ طُلَّابِ الرِّئَاسَةِ أَوْ لَتُصِيبَنَّكُمْ لَعْنَتِي أَجْمَعِينَ.

H 14600 – From him, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Al-A’la Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

Abu Abdullah wrote to the Shiites: ‘Let those who are elderly from among you be sympathetic, and prohibit the ignorant ones and the seekers of leadership, or else you will all be affected by myasws curse’.

14601- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ الدِّينَ دَوْلَتَيْنِ دَوْلَةً لآِدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ دَوْلَةً لِإِبْلِيسَ فَدَوْلَةُ آدَمَ هِيَ دَوْلَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ عَلَانِيَةً أَظْهَرَ دَوْلَةَ آدَمَ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ سِرّاً كَانَتْ دَوْلَةُ إِبْلِيسَ فَالْمُذِيعُ لِمَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ سَتْرَهُ مَارِقٌ مِنَ الدِّينِ

H 14601 – Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, and Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, altogether from Saleh Bin Abu Hammaad, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made two governments for the Religion. The government of Adamas and the government of Ibleesla. The government of Adamas is the government of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. So if Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Intends to be worshipped publicly, Heazwj Makes apparent the government of Adamas, and if Heazwj Intends that Heazwj should be worshipped in secret, it would be the government of Ibleesla. So the broadcaster of what Allahazwj has Intended to be a secret, is a renegade from the Religion’.

14602- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ لِفَصْلِ الْخِطَابِ دُعِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ دُعِيَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَيُكْسَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حُلَّةً خَضْرَاءَ تُضِي‏ءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ يُكْسَى عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) مِثْلَهَا وَ يُكْسَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حُلَّةً وَرْدِيَّةً يُضِي‏ءُ لَهَا مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ يُكْسَى عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) مِثْلَهَا ثُمَّ يَصْعَدَانِ عِنْدَهَا

H 14602 - A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘O Jabir! When it will be the Day of Judgement Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Gather the former ones and the later ones for the Decisive Speech (Fasl Al-Khitaab). The Rasool Allahsaww will be Called, and Amir-ul-Momineenasws will be Called. So the Rasool Allahsaww would be clothed in a green garment which would illuminate what is in between the east and the west, and Aliasws would be clothed with the like of it. And the Rasool Allahsaww would be clothed in a rosy garment which would illuminate what is in between the east and the west, and Aliasws would be clothed with the like of it. Then theyasws would both ascend wearing these.

ثُمَّ يُدْعَى بِنَا فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَيْنَا حِسَابُ النَّاسِ فَنَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ نُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ أَهْلَ النَّارِ النَّارَ ثُمَّ يُدْعَى بِالنَّبِيِّينَ (عليهم السلام) فَيُقَامُونَ صَفَّيْنِ عِنْدَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَّى نَفْرُغَ مِنْ حِسَابِ النَّاسِ

Then weasws will be Called, and the Accounting of the people would be handed over to usasws. By Allahazwj, weasws are the ones whoasws would be making the people of the Paradise enter into the Paradise and the people of the Fire into the Fire. Then the Prophetsas would be Called, and they will be standing in two rows in front of the Throne of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic until weasws are free from the Accounting of the people.

فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ بَعَثَ رَبُّ الْعِزَّةِ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) فَأَنْزَلَهُمْ مَنَازِلَهُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ زَوَّجَهُمْ فَعَلِيٌّ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُزَوِّجُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ مَا ذَاكَ إِلَى أَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ كَرَامَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ فَضْلًا فَضَّلَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَ مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ يُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ النَّارِ النَّارَ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُغْلِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلُوا فِيهَا أَبْوَابَهَا لِأَنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَبْوَابَ النَّارِ إِلَيْهِ.

So when the people of the Paradise enter the Paradise, and the people of the Fire enter the Fire, the Lordazwj of the Honour will Send Aliasws who would descend them to their places in the Paradise and get them married, for Aliasws, by Allahazwj, is the one whoasws will perform the marriages of the people of the Paradise in the Paradise. And that Prestige is not for anyone other than himasws from Allahazwj and a Preference which Allahazwj has Preferred himasws by and Bestowed upon himasws. By Allahazwj, heasws is the one whoasws will make enter the people of the Fire into the Fire, and heasws is the one whoasws will close the Doors of the Paradise when the people of the Paradise have entered into it, because the Doors of the Paradise are under hisasws control and the Doors of the Fire are under hisasws control’.

14603- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ خَالِطُوا النَّاسَ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ لَمْ يَنْفَعْكُمْ حُبُّ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) فِي السِّرِّ لَمْ يَنْفَعْكُمْ فِي الْعَلَانِيَةِ.

H 14603 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Saleh Bin Al-Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Basheer, from Anbasat, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws, said, ‘I hear himasws saying: ‘Intermingle with the people, for if the love for Aliasws and Fatimaasws does not benefit you in the privacy, it will not benefit you publicly’.

14604- جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ ذِكْرَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام) فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيْسَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرِ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السلام).

H 14604 – Ja’far, from Anbasat, from Abu Abdullahasws having said:

‘Beware of mentioning Aliasws and Fatimaasws (in front of others) for there is nothing more hateful to them than the speaking of Aliasws and Fatimaasws’.

14605- جَعْفَرٌ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ فَنَاءَ دَوْلَةِ قَوْمٍ أَمَرَ الْفَلَكَ فَأَسْرَعَ السَّيْرَ فَكَانَتْ عَلَى مِقْدَارِ مَا يُرِيدُ.

H 14605 – Ja’far, from Anbasar, from Jabir, from Abu Ja’farasws having said that:

‘If Allahazwj Intends to Terminate the affairs of a people, Heazwj Commands the orbit to be Accelerated, in accordance to what Heazwj Intends’.

14606- جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي شِبْلٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ إِنَّ الزَّيْدِيَّةَ قَوْمٌ قَدْ عُرِفُوا وَ جُرِّبُوا وَ شَهَرَهُمُ النَّاسُ وَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُحَمَّدِيٌّ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْكَ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تُدْنِيَهُمْ وَ تُقَرِّبَهُمْ مِنْكَ فَافْعَلْ فَقَالَ يَا سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ إِنْ كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ السُّفَهَاءُ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَصُدُّونَا عَنْ عِلْمِنَا إِلَى جَهْلِهِمْ فَلَا مَرْحَباً بِهِمْ وَ لَا أَهْلًا وَ إِنْ كَانُوا يَسْمَعُونَ قَوْلَنَا وَ يَنْتَظِرُونَ أَمْرَنَا فَلَا بَأْسَ.

H 14606 – Ja’far Bin Basheer, from Amro Bin Usmaan, from Abu Shibal who said:

‘I and Suleyman Bin Khalid came up to Abu Abdullahasws. Suleyman Bin Khalid said to himasws, ‘The Zaydiites (a sect) are a people who are well known, and tried, and famous among the people, and there is none in the earth who is more praised and more beloved to them than youasws are. So I see that if youasws can be closer to them and bring them closer to youasws, then youasws should do so (lead them as an Imamasws)’. So heasws said: ‘O Suleyman Bin Khalid! If those fools are intending that they would prevent usasws from ourasws Knowledge, to go to their ignorance, then they are not welcome. However, if they had heeded ourasws words, and would have waited for ourasws Command, then there would be nothing wrong with it’.

14607- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ انْقَطَعَ شِسْعُ نَعْلِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ فِي جَنَازَةٍ فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ بِشِسْعِهِ لِيُنَاوِلَهُ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ شِسْعَكَ فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَ الْمُصِيبَةِ أَوْلَى بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَيْهَا.

H 14607 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from the one whom he mentioned, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said, ‘A strip of the slipper of Abu Abdullahasws broke whilst heasws was in a funeral. So a man came with his strip for hisasws slipper (as a replacement). Heasws said: ‘Hold on to your strip, for the patience is foremost for the people in misfortune’.

14608- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ الْحِجَامَةُ فِي الرَّأْسِ هِيَ الْمُغِيثَةُ تَنْفَعُ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ وَ شَبَرَ مِنَ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ إِلَى حَيْثُ بَلَغَ إِبْهَامُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَاهُنَا.

H 14608 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from the one whom he mentioned, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The cupping in the head is beneficial from every illness except for the death, and ‘Shibr’ (the length of an extended palm) from both the eyebrows to where his thumb reaches’ (centre of the head)[18]. Then said: ‘Like here’.

14609- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مَرْوَكِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ رِفَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَ تَدْرِي يَا رِفَاعَةُ لِمَ سُمِّيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِناً قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ يُؤْمِنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيُجِيزُ [اللَّهُ] لَهُ أَمَانَهُ.

H 14609 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Marouk Bin Ubeyd, from Rafa’at, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Do you know, O Rafa’at, why the ‘الْمُؤْمِنُ’ Believer is called ‘Momin’?’ I said, ‘I do not know’. Heasws said: ‘Because he entrusts himself to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, so Allahazwj Authorises safety for him’.

14610- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يُبَالِي النَّاصِبُ صَلَّى أَمْ زَنَى وَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِمْ عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً.

H 14610 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Hanaan, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘It does not matter whether the hostile one (Al-Nasibi) Prays or commits adultery (it’s the same), and this is the Verse which has been Revealed regarding them: “[88:3] Labouring, (hostile one) [88:4] Entering into burning fire”.

14611- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُرَازِمٍ وَ يَزِيدَ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ فِيمَا أَظُنُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ غَيْرَ وَلِيِّ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) أَتَى الْفُرَاتَ وَ قَدْ أَشْرَفَ مَاؤُهُ عَلَى جَنْبَيْهِ وَ هُوَ يَزُخُّ زَخِيخاً فَتَنَاوَلَ بِكَفِّهِ وَ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَانَ دَماً مَسْفُوحاً أَوْ لَحْمَ خِنْزِير.

H 14611 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Marazim and Yazeed Bin Hammaad altogether from Abu Abdullah Bin Sinan in what I think he narrated, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘If someone who is not a friend of Aliasws came to Al-Furaat and there was clear water on both his sides whilst he lowers his palms to take it by his hands, and says, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj’, and when he is free from that he says, ‘Praise be to Allahazwj’, it would be like (drinking) gushing blood or flesh of the swine’. (In another Hadith if a Momin drinks water like this it would keep on praising Allah in his stomach as long as it stays there).

14612- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَيْفَ صَنَعْتُمْ بِعَمِّي زَيْدٍ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَحْرُسُونَهُ فَلَمَّا شَفَّ النَّاسُ أَخَذْنَا جُثَّتَهُ فَدَفَنَّاهُ فِي جُرُفٍ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا جَالَتِ الْخَيْلُ يَطْلُبُونَهُ فَوَجَدُوهُ فَأَحْرَقُوهُ فَقَالَ أَ فَلَا أَوْقَرْتُمُوهُ حَدِيداً وَ أَلْقَيْتُمُوهُ فِي الْفُرَاتِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ قَاتِلَهُ.

H 14612 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from a man he mentioned, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘What did you do to myasws uncle Zayd?’ I said, ‘They were guarding him, so when the people dispersed, we took his body and buried him in on a cliff on the shores of Al-Furaat. When it was the morning, the horsemen came looking for him, so they found him and burnt his body’. Heasws said: ‘So why did you not tie iron to him and throw him in Al-Furaat? Greetings of Allahazwj be upon him, and Curse of Allahazwj be upon his killers’.

14613- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ أَذِنَ فِي هَلَاكِ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ بَعْدَ إِحْرَاقِهِمْ زَيْداً بِسَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ.

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘Allahazwj Gave Permission for the destruction of the Clan of Umayya seven days after their burning of the body of Zayd’.

14614- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ لَيَحْفَظُ مَنْ يَحْفَظُ صَدِيقَهُ.

H 14614 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Mansour Bin Al-Abbas, from the one whom he mentioned, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘Allahazwj Protects the one who protects Hisazwj friend’.

14615- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ قَاعِداً مَعَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) وَ النَّاسُ فِي الطَّوَافِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ يَا سَمَاعَةُ إِلَيْنَا إِيَابُ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ وَ عَلَيْنَا حِسَابُهُمْ فَمَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَمْنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ فِي تَرْكِهِ لَنَا فَأَجَابَنَا إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ اسْتَوْهَبْنَاهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَجَابُوا إِلَى ذَلِكَ وَ عَوَّضَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

H 14615 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sinan, from Sa’daan, from Sama’at who said:

I was seated with Abu Al-Hassan the Firstasws, and the people were in the circumambulation (Tawaaf) in the middle of the night, so heasws said: ‘O Sama’at! To usasws is the eventual return of these people and on usasws is their Accounting. So there is none from their sins between them and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, but it has been Ordained by Allahazwj for it to be left to usasws so weasws will respond to that, and there is nothing between them and the people, but they should ask it from usasws and Iasws will respond to that, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Recompense them for it’.

14616- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ صَالِحٍ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ آخَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ وَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَ اشْتَرَطَ عَلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ أَنْ لَا يَعْصِيَ سَلْمَانَ.

H 14616 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Mansour Bin Al-Abbas, from Suleyman Al-Musattaq, from Saleh Al-Howl who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The Rasoolsaww established brotherhood between Salmanar and Abu Dharrar, and stipulated a condition upon Abu Dharrar that hear would not disobey Salmanar (as a younger to an elder brother).

14617- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَطَّابِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ لَقِيَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي طَرِيقِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ مَنْ ذَا أَ حَارِثٌ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَمَا لَأَحْمِلَنَّ ذُنُوبَ سُفَهَائِكُمْ عَلَى عُلَمَائِكُمْ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَدَخَلْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَقِيتَنِي فَقُلْتَ لَأَحْمِلَنَّ ذُنُوبَ سُفَهَائِكُمْ عَلَى عُلَمَائِكُمْ فَدَخَلَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَمْرٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ إِذَا بَلَغَكُمْ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ مِنْكُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ وَ مَا يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ الْأَذَى أَنْ تَأْتُوهُ فَتُؤَنِّبُوهُ وَ تَعْذِلُوهُ وَ تَقُولُوا لَهُ قَوْلًا بَلِيغاً فَقُلْتُ [لَهُ] جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِذاً لَا يُطِيعُونَا وَ لَا يَقْبَلُونَ مِنَّا فَقَالَ اهْجُرُوهُمْ وَ اجْتَنِبُوا مَجَالِسَهُمْ.

H 14617 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Khataab Bin Muhammad, from Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws met me in a road of Al-Medina, so heasws said: ‘Who is that? Is it Haaris?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘But Iasws shall dump the sins of your foolish ones upon your knowledgeable ones’. Then heasws passed by. So I came up to himasws and sought permission to see himasws. I said, ‘Youasws met me and youasws said, ‘Iasws shall dump the sins of your foolish ones upon your knowledgeable ones’, and that was a great matter upon me’. So heasws said: ‘Yes. What prevented you when it reached you from the man among you what you dislike, as it enters hurtful feelings to usasws, (you should) go to him and reproach him, and correct it (his wrong doings), and speak to him in eloquent words?’ I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, if he does not obey us and does not accept from us?’ So heasws said: ‘Flee from him, and avoid their gatherings’ (stop accompanying him).

14618- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَيَابَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ يَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ السِّتَّةَ بِالسِّتَّةِ الْعَرَبَ بِالْعَصَبِيَّةِ وَ الدَّهَاقِينَ بِالْكِبْرِ وَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بِالْجَوْرِ وَ الْفُقَهَاءَ بِالْحَسَدِ وَ التُّجَّارَ بِالْخِيَانَةِ وَ أَهْلَ الرَّسَاتِيقِ بِالْجَهْلِ.

H 14618 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibrahim Bin Uqba, from Sayaabat Bin Ayyoub, and Muhammad Bin Al-Waleed, and Ali Bin Asbaat with an unbroken chain going up to Amir-ul-Momineenasws having said that:

Amir-ul-Momineenasws said that: ‘Allahazwj will Punish six (types of people) for six (matters) – the Arabs for the prejudice, and the landlords for the arrogance, and the rulers for the tyranny, and the jurists for the jealousy, and the merchants for the fraud, and the villagers for the ignorance’.

14619- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَا كَانَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَحَبَّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ أَنْ يُظِلَّ خَائِفاً جَائِعاً فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

H 14619 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham and someone else, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘There was nothing more beloved to the Rasool Allahsaww than to remain fearful and hungry for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

14620- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ وَ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ وَ سَلَمَةَ بَيَّاعِ السَّابِرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) إِذَا أَخَذَ كِتَابَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَنَظَرَ فِيهِ قَالَ مَنْ يُطِيقُ هَذَا مَنْ يُطِيقُ ذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ وَ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ تَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ مَا أَطَاقَ أَحَدٌ عَمَلَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) مِنْ وُلْدِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِلَّا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام).

H 14620 – Ali, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al-Fazl Bin Shazaan altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abd Al-Rahmaan Bin Al-Hajjaaj, and Hafs Bin Al-Bakhtary, and Salmat Bayya Al-Sabiry, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Whenever Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws used to take the Book of Aliasws, heasws would look into it and say: ‘Who can endure this, who can endure this?’ Then heasws said: ‘Who would act upon it, and when heasws would stand for the Prayer, hisasws colour would change to the extent that it would become apparent in hisasws face, and no one can endure the actions of Aliasws from hisasws sonsasws from after himasws except for Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws’.

14621- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّيْقَلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ وَلِيَّ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) لَا يَأْكُلُ إِلَّا الْحَلَالَ لِأَنَّ صَاحِبَهُ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ وَ إِنَّ وَلِيَّ عُثْمَانَ لَا يُبَالِي أَ حَلَالًا أَكَلَ أَوْ حَرَاماً لِأَنَّ صَاحِبَهُ كَذَلِكَ

H 14621 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Ibn Muskaan, from Al-Hassan Al-Sayqal who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that a friend of Aliasws does not eat except for the Permissible because his Masterasws was like that, and the friend of Usman does not care whether he eats the Permissible or the Prohibited because his master was like that’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى ذِكْرِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا أَكَلَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَرَاماً قَلِيلًا وَ لَا كَثِيراً حَتَّى فَارَقَهَا وَ لَا عَرَضَ لَهُ أَمْرَانِ كِلَاهُمَا لِلَّهِ طَاعَةٌ إِلَّا أَخَذَ بِأَشَدِّهِمَا عَلَى بَدَنِهِ وَ لَا نَزَلَتْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) شَدِيدَةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا وَجَّهَهُ فِيهَا ثِقَةً بِهِ وَ لَا أَطَاقَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَمَلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بَعْدَهُ غَيْرُهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws returned to the mention of Aliasws, so heasws said; ‘But, by the One Whoazwj Took hisasws soul, heasws did not eat anything Prohibited in the world, be it little or a lot, until heasws departed from it. And there were not presented to himasws two matters both of them in obedience to Allahazwj except that heasws chose the more difficult one of the two for hisasws body, and there did not descend any difficulty upon the Rasool Allahsaww at all except that heasws faced it, being relied upon for it. And no one from this community can endure the deeds of the Rasool Allahsaww after himsaww apart from himasws.

وَ لَقَدْ كَانَ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلَ رَجُلٍ كَأَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ وَ لَقَدْ أَعْتَقَ أَلْفَ مَمْلُوكٍ مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِهِ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ تَحَفَّى فِيهِ يَدَاهُ وَ تَعْرَقُ جَبِينُهُ الْتِمَاسَ وَجْهِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْخَلَاصِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مَا كَانَ قُوتُهُ إِلَّا الْخَلَّ وَ الزَّيْتَ وَ حَلْوَاهُ التَّمْرُ إِذَا وَجَدَهُ وَ مَلْبُوسُهُ الْكَرَابِيسُ فَإِذَا فَضَلَ عَنْ ثِيَابِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ دَعَا بِالْجَلَمِ فَجَزَّهُ.

And heasws would work like a man as if he could see into the Paradise and the Fire, and heasws had freed one thousand slaves from hisasws wealth. All of that was from what heasws had worked by hisasws own hands, making hisasws forehead perspire for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, seeking to be free from the Fire. And there was no meal for himasws except for the vinegar and oil, and the sweetness of the dates if heasws could find them. And hisasws clothing was the cotton. If heasws found extra in his clothes, heasws would call for the scissors and cut it off’.

14622- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَامِلٍ كَانَ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ حَضَرْتُ عَشَاءَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليه السلام) فِي الصَّيْفِ فَأُتِيَ بِخِوَانٍ عَلَيْهِ خُبْزٌ وَ أُتِيَ بِجَفْنَةٍ فِيهَا ثَرِيدٌ وَ لَحْمٌ تَفُورُ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا فَوَجَدَهَا حَارَّةً ثُمَّ رَفَعَهَا وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ نَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ نَحْنُ لَا نَقْوَى عَلَى هَذَا فَكَيْفَ النَّارُ وَ جَعَلَ يُكَرِّرُ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ حَتَّى أَمْكَنَتِ الْقَصْعَةُ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ فِيهَا وَ وَضَعْنَا أَيْدِيَنَا حِينَ أَمْكَنَتْنَا فَأَكَلَ وَ أَكَلْنَا مَعَهُ

H 14622 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Suleyman Bin Khalid, from a worker of Muhammad Bin Rashid who said:

I was present at the evening meal of Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws during the summer. A tray of bread was brought to himasws, and a bowl of porridge and boiling meat. So heasws extended his hand towards it and found it to be hot. Then heasws raised hisasws hand and said: ‘Weasws seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the Fire, weasws seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the Fire. We are not strong enough (to bear) this, so how can we (bear) the Fire (of Hell)?’ And heasws went on repeating these words until it was possible to (touch) the bowl. So heasws placed hisasws in it (the hot food in front of himasws), and we placed our hands in it (our portion) when it was possible. So heasws ate, and we ate with himasws.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْخِوَانَ رُفِعَ فَقَالَ يَا غُلَامُ ائْتِنَا بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَأُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ فِي طَبَقٍ فَمَدَدْتُ يَدِي فَإِذَا هُوَ تَمْرٌ فَقُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْأَعْنَابِ وَ الْفَاكِهَةِ قَالَ إِنَّهُ تَمْرٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْفَعْ هَذَا وَ ائْتِنَا بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَأُتِيَ بِتَمْرٍ فَمَدَدْتُ يَدِي فَقُلْتُ هَذَا تَمْرٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ طَيِّبٌ.

Then the (food) from the food-mat was taken away. So heasws said: ‘O young boy, bring us something’. So he came with the dates on a platter. I extended my hand, and there were dates, so I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well, this is the time (season) for the grapes and the apples’. Heasws said: ‘these are the dates’. Then heasws said: ‘Take this away and bring us something’. So he came up with dates (another variety of dates). I extended my hand and said, ‘These are dates’. Heasws said: ‘It is good’.

14623- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَا أَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مُتَّكِئاً مُنْذُ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى أَنْ قَبَضَهُ تَوَاضُعاً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَا رَأَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ أَمَامَ جَلِيسِهِ فِي مَجْلِسٍ قَطُّ وَ لَا صَافَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) رَجُلًا قَطُّ فَنَزَعَ يَدَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ هُوَ الَّذِي يَنْزِعُ يَدَهُ وَ لَا كَافَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِسَيِّئَةٍ قَطُّ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ ادْفَعْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ السَّيِّئَةَ فَفَعَلَ

H 14623 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Muawiya Bin Wahab, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww did not eat whilst leaning, since hesaww was Sent by Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, up to hissaww passing away. Hesaww was modest for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and no one ever saw hissaww knees is a gathering at all. And the Rasool Allahsaww did not shake hands with a man at all by pulling hissaww hand from his hand until the man would pull his own hand from hissaww hands. The Rasool Allahsaww did not recompense anyone with evil at all. Allahazwj the High Said to himsaww: “[23:96] Repel evil by what is best”, so hesaww did it.

وَ مَا مَنَعَ سَائِلًا قَطُّ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ أَعْطَى وَ إِلَّا قَالَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِهِ وَ لَا أَعْطَى عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ شَيْئاً قَطُّ إِلَّا أَجَازَهُ اللَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ لَيُعْطِي الْجَنَّةَ فَيُجِيزُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ ذَلِكَ

And he never denied any beggar at all. If hesaww had it with himsaww hesaww would give it, or else hesaww would say: ‘Allahazwj will Give it’. And hesaww did not Give anything at all on the Authorisation of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic except that Allahazwj Authorised that for himsaww even if it was the Paradise, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Authorised that for himsaww’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ أَخُوهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِنَفْسِهِ مَا أَكَلَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَرَاماً قَطُّ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْهَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ لَيَعْرِضُ لَهُ الْأَمْرَانِ كِلَاهُمَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاعَةٌ فَيَأْخُذُ بِأَشَدِّهِمَا عَلَى بَدَنِهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَعْتَقَ أَلْفَ مَمْلُوكٍ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ دَبِرَتْ فِيهِمْ يَدَاهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَطَاقَ عَمَلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا نَزَلَتْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) نَازِلَةٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا قَدَّمَهُ فِيهَا ثِقَةً مِنْهُ بِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَيَبْعَثُهُ بِرَايَتِهِ فَيُقَاتِلُ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثُمَّ مَا يَرْجِعُ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ.

Heasws said: ‘And hissaww brother (Aliasws) from after himsaww, by the One Whoazwj Took hisasws soul, did not eat anything at all Prohibited in the world until heasws exited from it. By Allahazwj, if two matters were presented to himasws in both of which was the obedience to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, heasws would take the one which was more difficult upon hisasws body. By Allahazwj, heasws freed a thousand slaves for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, from the work of hisasws own hands. By Allahazwj, no one could endure the deeds of the Rasool Allahsaww after himsaww, apart from himasws. By Allahazwj, there did not descend upon the Rasool Allahsaww any (difficulty) at all except that heasws was the foremost in facing it, being a reliable one from himsaww for it. And whenever the Rasool Allahsaww sent himasws with hissaww flag, so Jibraeel would fight on hisasws right and Mikaeel on hisasws left. Then heasws would not return until Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Granted victory to himasws’.

14624- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ طِعْمَةً وَ سِيرَةً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الْخُبْزَ وَ الزَّيْتَ وَ يُطْعِمُ النَّاسَ الْخُبْزَ وَ اللَّحْمَ

H 14624 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammaad Bin Usmaan, from Zayd Bin Al-Hassan who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Aliasws was the most similar to the Rasool Allahsaww in the partaking of food and manners. And heasws used to eat the bread and the oil whilst (heasws would feed) the people with the bread and the meat’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) يَسْتَقِي وَ يَحْتَطِبُ وَ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) تَطْحَنُ وَ تَعْجِنُ وَ تَخْبِزُ وَ تَرْقَعُ وَ كَانَتْ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ وَجْهاً كَأَنَّ وَجْنَتَيْهَا وَرْدَتَانِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى أَبِيهَا وَ بَعْلِهَا وَ وُلْدِهَا الطَّاهِرِينَ.

Heasws said: ‘Aliasws used to fetch the water and the firewood, and Fatimaasws used to grind, and knead, and bake, and stitch. Sheasws was of the most beautiful of face from the people, with cheeks like two roses, may Greetings be upon herasws, and upon herasws fathersaww, and herasws husbandasws, and herasws purified childrenasws’.

14625- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الرَّيَّانِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ يُونُسَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَبْعَثْ نَبِيّاً قَطُّ إِلَّا صَاحِبَ مِرَّةٍ سَوْدَاءَ صَافِيَةٍ وَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيّاً قَطُّ حَتَّى يُقِرَّ لَهُ بِالْبَدَاءِ.

H 14625 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Rayyaan Bin Al-Salt, from Yunus who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic never Sent a Prophetas at all except that heas would have a clear ‘مِرَّةٍ سَوْدَاءَ’ (Seal of Prophet-hood) and Allahazwj did not Send a Prophetas at all until heas accepts the ‘يُقِرَّ لَهُ بِالْبَدَاءِ’ The Decision of Allah at the Start (About the First ‘Al-Noor’-Mohammedsaww and Ayley Mohammedasws).

H 14626 – Sahl, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Abdul Hameed, from the one whom he mentioned, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When they frightened the she-camel of the Rasool Allahsaww, the she-camel said to himsaww; ‘By Allahazwj, I will not move one foot from the other even if they cut me into pieces and pieces’.

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘ourasws matter (treatment of people towards us) is like that of the Children of Yaqoubas (towards himas) until Allahazwj Judges between usasws and Hisazwj creatures’.

Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has said; “Iazwj do not Accept every wise statement, but rather Iazwj Accept his wish and his concern, for if his wish and his concern is within Myazwj Pleasure, Iazwj Makes his concern to be an Extolling of Holiness and a Glorification’.

Abu Abdullah asws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[41:53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth?”. Heasws said: ‘Submerging (in the ground), and metamorphosis, and stoning’. I said, ‘What about “until it will become quite clear to them”?’ Heasws said: ‘Leave that. That is the rising of the Rising One (Al-Qaimasws)’.

H 14630 – Sahl, from Yahya Bin Al-Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabalat, from Is’haq Bin Ammaar, and Ibn Sinan, and Sama’at, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Obedience to Aliasws is humbleness and disobedience to him is blasphemy with Allahazwj’. It was said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, how can obedience to Aliasws be humbleness and disobedience to himasws be blasphemy with Allahazwj?’ So hesaww replied: ‘Aliasws carries you all upon the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just, so if you obey himasws it would make you humble, and if you were to disobey himasws, you would have blasphemed against Allahazwj’.

14632- سَهْلٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَنَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) نَحْنُ قُرَيْشٌ وَ شِيعَتُنَا الْعَرَبُ وَ سَائِرُ النَّاسِ عُلُوجُ الرُّومِ.

H 14632 – Sahl, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Hanaan, from Zurara who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Weasws are Masters, and ourasws Shiites are the privileged ones, and the rest of the people like of infidels’.

14633- سَهْلٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَأَنِّي بِالْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ عَلَيْهِ قَبَاءٌ فَيُخْرِجُ مِنْ وَرَيَانِ قَبَائِهِ كِتَاباً مَخْتُوماً بِخَاتَمٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَيَفُكُّهُ فَيَقْرَؤُهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَيُجْفِلُونَ عَنْهُ إِجْفَالَ الْغَنَمِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا النُّقَبَاءُ فَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِكَلَامٍ فَلَا يَلْحَقُونَ مَلْجَأً حَتَّى يَرْجِعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ الْكَلَامَ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ.

H 14633 – Sahl, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from one of his men, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘It is as if Iasws am with Al-Qaimasws ascended upon the Pulpit of Al-Kufa having a gown from which heasws takes out a sealed letter sealed with a golden seal. So heasws opens it and reads it out to the people. They run away from himasws like the frightened sheep. So there does not remain any except for the heads (commanders). So heasws speaks by a speech and they do not find a shelter until they return back to himasws. And Iasws know of the speech that heasws will be speaking by’.

14634- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ الْحِكْمَةُ ضَالَّةُ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَحَيْثُمَا وَجَدَ أَحَدُكُمْ ضَالَّتَهُ فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا.

H 14634 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Saleh, from Ibn Sinan, from Amro Bin Shimr, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The wisdom is the objective of the believer, so wherever one of you finds his objective, so he should take it’.

14635- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ كَاتِبِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الْأَشْعَثَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ شَرِكَ فِي دَمِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) وَ ابْنَتُهُ جَعْدَةُ سَمَّتِ الْحَسَنَ (عليه السلام) وَ مُحَمَّدٌ ابْنُهُ شَرِكَ فِي دَمِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام).

H 14635 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed or someone else, from Sulayman the write of Ali Bin Yaqteen, from the one whom he mentioned, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘Al-Ash’as Bin Qays is a participant in the blood (killing) of Amir-ul-Momineenasws, and his daughter Jo’da poisoned Al-Hassanasws, and his son Muhammad is a participant in the blood (killing) of Al-Husaynasws’.

14636- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ صَبَّاحٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ قَالَ زَامَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ فَقَالَ لِيَ اقْرَأْ قَالَ فَافْتَتَحْتُ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَرَقَّ وَ بَكَى ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا أُسَامَةَ ارْعَوْا قُلُوبَكُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ احْذَرُوا النَّكْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي عَلَى الْقَلْبِ تَارَاتٌ أَوْ سَاعَاتٌ الشَّكُّ مِنْ صَبَّاحٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ إِيمَانٌ وَ لَا كُفْرٌ شِبْهَ الْخِرْقَةِ الْبَالِيَةِ أَوِ الْعَظْمِ النَّخِرِ

H 14636 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Saleh Bin Al-Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Basheer, from Sabbaah Al-Haza’, from Abu Asama who said:

‘I accompanied Abu Abdullahasws. Heasws said to me: ‘Read’. So I opened a Chapter from the Quran and recited it. Heasws became soft-hearted and wept, then said: ‘O Abu Asama! Nurture your hearts by the Mention of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic,  ‘وَ احْذَرُوا النَّكْتَ’ and be cautious of the instigation, for it comes upon the heart once or for many hours of doubt in the morning when there is neither belief nor disbelief in the heart, like a worn out piece of cloth or the decayed bone.

يَا أَبَا أُسَامَةَ أَ لَيْسَ رُبَّمَا تَفَقَّدْتَ قَلْبَكَ فَلَا تَذْكُرُ بِهِ خَيْراً وَ لَا شَرّاً وَ لَا تَدْرِي أَيْنَ هُوَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَى إِنَّهُ لَيُصِيبُنِي وَ أَرَاهُ يُصِيبُ النَّاسَ قَالَ أَجَلْ لَيْسَ يَعْرَى مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ احْذَرُوا النَّكْتَ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً نَكَتَ إِيمَاناً وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِهِ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ نَكَتَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ [مَا هُوَ] قَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ كُفْراً نَكَتَ كُفْراً.

O Abu Asama! Is it not that sometimes you inspect your heart, so you neither remember neither any good nor any evil by it, and nor do you know where it is?’ I said to himasws, ‘Yes, it has happened to me, and I have seen it happen to the people’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, everyone is exposed to it. So if it is like that remember Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, ‘وَ احْذَرُوا النَّكْتَ’ and be cautious of the instigation, for if Heazwj Intends good for a servant, Instigates belief, and if Heazwj Intends by it other than that, Instigates other than that’. I said, ‘What is other than that, may I be sacrificed for youasws, what is it?’ Heasws said: ‘If Heazwj Intends infidelity, infidelity is instigated’.

14637- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنِّي لَا أَكَادُ أَلْقَاكَ إِلَّا فِي السِّنِينَ فَأَوْصِنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ آخُذُ بِهِ قَالَ أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ صِدْقِ الْحَدِيثِ وَ الْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْفَعُ اجْتِهَادٌ لَا وَرَعَ مَعَهُ

H 14637 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abu Al-Magra’a, from Zayd Al-Shahaam, from Amro Bin Saeed Bin Hilal who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘I hardly ever meet youasws after years, so advise me with something that I can take to it’. Heasws said: ‘Iasws advise you to fear Allahazwj, and be truthful in (narrating) the Hadeeth, and the piety, and strive hard (Ijtihad for your affairs). And know that he who has not piety with him would not benefit from his hard work (in submission to Allahazwj).

وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُطْمِحَ نَفْسَكَ إِلَى مَنْ فَوْقَكَ وَ كَفَى بِمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَلا تُعْجِبْكَ أَمْوالُهُمْ وَ لا أَوْلادُهُمْ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ وَ لا تَمُدَّنَّ عَيْنَيْكَ إِلى ما مَتَّعْنا بِهِ أَزْواجاً مِنْهُمْ زَهْرَةَ الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا فَإِنْ خِفْتَ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَاذْكُرْ عَيْشَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَإِنَّمَا كَانَ قُوتُهُ الشَّعِيرَ وَ حَلْوَاهُ التَّمْرَ وَ وَقُودُهُ السَّعَفَ إِذَا وَجَدَهُ وَ إِذَا أُصِبْتَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَاذْكُرْ مُصَابَكَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَإِنَّ الْخَلْقَ لَمْ يُصَابُوا بِمِثْلِهِ (عليه السلام) قَطُّ.

And beware of ‘تُطْمِحَ نَفْسَكَ’ the craving desires of your ‘Nafs’[19] that (tempt you to have) which is with the one above you, hence restrain from that. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said to Hisazwj Messengersaww: “[9:55] Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration”, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Hisazwj Messengersaww: “[20:131] And do not stretch your eyes after that with which We have provided different classes of them, (of) the splendour of this world's life”. So if you are scared of that, remember the example of the Rasool Allahsaww, for hissaww meal was of barley (bread) and sweetness of the dates, and hissaww fire (for heat) was from twigs of the palm tree, if hesaww found them. And if you are in hardship, remember the hardships of the Rasool Allahsaww, for the creatures (people) have never been afflicted with the like of what hesaww had been afflicted with, at all’. 

14638- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ السَّرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَرَّ بِنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ نَحْنُ فِي نَادِينَا وَ هُوَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ حِينَ رَجَعَ مِنْ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْنَا فَسَلَّمَ فَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ

H 14638 – A number of our companions, from sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al-Hassan Bin Al-Sarayy, from Abu Maryam, who has said the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Iasws heard Jabir Bin Abdullah saying that, ‘The Rasool Allahsaww passed by us one day whilst we were in our group, and hesaww was upon hissaww mule, and that was when hesaww was returning from the Farewell Pilgrimage. Hesaww paused near to us and greeted us. We returned hissaww greeting.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا لِي أَرَى حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّ الْمَوْتَ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى غَيْرِهِمْ كُتِبَ وَ كَأَنَّ الْحَقَّ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى غَيْرِهِمْ وَجَبَ وَ حَتَّى كَأَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعُوا وَ يَرَوْا مِنْ خَبَرِ الْأَمْوَاتِ قَبْلَهُمْ سَبِيلُهُمْ سَبِيلُ قَوْمٍ سَفْرٍ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ إِلَيْهِمْ رَاجِعُونَ بُيُوتُهُمْ أَجْدَاثُهُمْ وَ يَأْكُلُونَ تُرَاثَهُمْ فَيَظُنُّونَ أَنَّهُمْ مُخَلَّدُونَ بَعْدَهُمْ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ [أَ] مَا يَتَّعِظُ آخِرُهُمْ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ لَقَدْ جَهِلُوا وَ نَسُوا كُلَّ وَاعِظٍ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ آمَنُوا شَرَّ كُلِّ عَاقِبَةِ سُوءٍ وَ لَمْ يَخَافُوا نُزُولَ فَادِحَةٍ وَ بَوَائِقَ حَادِثَةٍ

Then hesaww said: ‘From what Isaww see, love of the world have overcome many from the people to the extent that as if the death in this world has been Ordained to come upon other than them, and as if the truth in this world has been obligated on other than them, and to the extent that as if they had never heard nor seen the news of the death of those who lived before them, even though their own path is the path of the people on a journey. After a short while they will be returning to their homes, their tombs, and their inheritors would be consuming their legacies thinking that they would now be living forever after those ones. Alas! Alas! The later ones do not take a lesson from the former ones. They have become ignorant and forgotten all the Advice in the Book of Allahazwj and feel safe from all the evil consequences of the bad deeds and do not fear the descent into the grave and the events that are to occur.

طُوبَى لِمَنْ شَغَلَهُ خَوْفُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ خَوْفِ النَّاسِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ مَنَعَهُ عَيْبُهُ عَنْ عُيُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ تَوَاضَعَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ زَهِدَ فِيمَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ رَغْبَةٍ عَنْ سِيرَتِي وَ رَفَضَ زَهْرَةَ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ غَيْرِ تَحَوُّلٍ عَنْ سُنَّتِي وَ اتَّبَعَ الْأَخْيَارَ مِنْ عِتْرَتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَ جَانَبَ أَهْلَ الْخُيَلَاءِ وَ التَّفَاخُرِ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا الْمُبْتَدِعِينَ خِلَافَ سُنَّتِي الْعَامِلِينَ بِغَيْرِ سِيرَتِي

Tooba (Goodness)[20] is for the one who occupies himself in the fear of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic rather than fear of the people. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who prevents himself from finding faults with the Believers from his brethren. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who is humble to Allahazwj ,Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, and restricts himself to what Allahazwj has Prohibited for him without turning away from mysaww way of life, and rejects the blossoms of the world without turning away from mysaww Sunnah and follows the best onesasws from mysaww Family from after mesaww, and avoids the people of vanity and pride, and the ones who are infatuated with regards to the world, the heretics opposed to mysaww Sunnah, the workers in other than mysaww way.

طُوبَى لِمَنِ اكْتَسَبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَالًا مِنْ غَيْرِ مَعْصِيَةٍ فَأَنْفَقَهُ فِي غَيْرِ مَعْصِيَةٍ وَ عَادَ بِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْكَنَةِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ حَسُنَ مَعَ النَّاسِ خُلُقُهُ وَ بَذَلَ لَهُمْ مَعُونَتَهُ وَ عَدَلَ عَنْهُمْ شَرَّهُ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَنْفَقَ الْقَصْدَ وَ بَذَلَ الْفَضْلَ وَ أَمْسَكَ قَوْلَهُ عَنِ الْفُضُولِ وَ قَبِيحِ الْفِعْلِ.

Tooba (Goodness) is for the Believing ones who earn the wealth without disobedience (sins), so they spend in other than sinful ways, and by it aid the poor. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who is good with the people in manners and supports them and turns away from them from their evil. Tooba (Goodness) is for the one who spends in moderation and donates the excess, and refrains from speaking vain words and (engages himself in) ugly deeds’.

14639- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ بَعْضِ الْحُكَمَاءِ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى الْغِنَى لِلنَّاسِ أَهْلُ الْبُخْلِ لِأَنَّ النَّاسَ إِذَا اسْتَغْنَوْا كَفُّوا عَنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى صَلَاحَ النَّاسِ أَهْلُ الْعُيُوبِ لِأَنَّ النَّاسَ إِذَا صَلَحُوا كَفُّوا عَنْ تَتَبُّعِ عُيُوبِهِمْ وَ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَمَنَّى حِلْمَ النَّاسِ أَهْلُ السَّفَهِ الَّذِينَ يَحْتَاجُونَ أَنْ يُعْفَى عَنْ سَفَهِهِمْ

H 14639 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, with a chain going up to some of the wise ones who said:

‘The most deserving of the people who wish to enrich the people are the niggardly ones, because if the people become rich they would refrain from their wealth. And the most deserving of the people who wish for the correction of the people are the ones with the faults, because if the people are corrected, they would refrain from following their faults. And the most deserving of the people who wish for forbearance for the people are the foolish ones who need to be exempted from their foolishness.

فَأَصْبَحَ أَهْلُ الْبُخْلِ يَتَمَنَّوْنَ فَقْرَ النَّاسِ وَ أَصْبَحَ أَهْلُ الْعُيُوبِ يَتَمَنَّوْنَ فِسْقَهُمْ وَ أَصْبَحَ أَهْلُ الذُّنُوبِ يَتَمَنَّوْنَ سَفَهَهُمْ وَ فِي الْفَقْرِ الْحَاجَةُ إِلَى الْبَخِيلِ وَ فِي الْفَسَادِ طَلَبُ عَوْرَةِ أَهْلِ الْعُيُوبِ وَ فِي السَّفَهِ الْمُكَافَأَةُ بِالذُّنُوبِ.

On the contrary, the niggardly ones become wishers of poverty for the people, and the faulty ones become wishers for mischief for them, and the sinful ones become wishers for their foolishness. And in poverty people are needy to the niggardly ones, and in mischief they find faults with the faulty ones, and in foolishness, the recompense is by the sins’. (THIS IS NOT A HADEETH)

14640- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَا حَسَنُ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ بِكَ نَازِلَةٌ فَلَا تَشْكُهَا إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْخِلَافِ وَ لَكِنِ اذْكُرْهَا لِبَعْضِ إِخْوَانِكَ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تُعْدَمَ خَصْلَةً مِنْ أَرْبَعِ خِصَالٍ إِمَّا كِفَايَةً بِمَالٍ وَ إِمَّا مَعُونَةً بِجَاهٍ أَوْ دَعْوَةً فَتُسْتَجَابُ أَوْ مَشُورَةً بِرَأْيٍ.

H 14640 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hassan Bin Rahid who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘O Hassan! If a calamity were to descend upon you, do not complain about it to any one from the opposition, but mention it to one of your brothers, for you will not be benefit from one of the four qualities – either sufficiency by wealth, or assistance by prestige, or an Answered supplication, or consultation by opinion’.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام )

SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14641- عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْمُؤَدِّبُ وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَارِثِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْخَافِضِ الرَّافِعِ الضَّارِّ النَّافِعِ الْجَوَادِ الْوَاسِعِ الْجَلِيلِ ثَنَاؤُهُ الصَّادِقَةِ أَسْمَاؤُهُ الْمُحِيطِ بِالْغُيُوبِ وَ مَا يَخْطُرُ عَلَى الْقُلُوبِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ الْمَوْتَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ عَدْلًا وَ أَنْعَمَ بِالْحَيَاةِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَضْلًا فَأَحْيَا وَ أَمَاتَ وَ قَدَّرَ الْأَقْوَاتَ أَحْكَمَهَا بِعِلْمِهِ تَقْدِيراً وَ أَتْقَنَهَا بِحِكْمَتِهِ تَدْبِيراً إِنَّهُ كَانَ خَبِيراً بَصِيراً هُوَ الدَّائِمُ بِلَا فَنَاءٍ وَ الْبَاقِي إِلَى غَيْرِ مُنْتَهًى يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَ مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى

H 14641 – Ali Bin Al-Husayn Al-Mozab, and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Abdullah Bin Abu Al-Haris Al-Hamdany, from Jabir, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws says that Amir-ul-Momineenasws gave a sermon saying: ‘Praise be to Allahazwj, the Abaser, the Raiser, the Harmer, the Benefitter, the vastly Benevolent, Majestic is Hisazwj Praise, True are Hisazwj Names, Overwhelming by the Hidden and what approaches the hearts, the One Whoazwj Made the death to be in the midst of Hisazwj creatures with Justice, and Favoured them with the life. So Heazwj Bestows life and Brings upon death and Measures out the sustenance by Hisazwj Knowledge by an Estimation, and Mastered by Hisazwj Wisdom the measure of it. Heazwj is All-Aware, All-Seeing. Heazwj is Eternal without cessation, and the Remaining without an end. Heazwj Knows what is in the earth, and what is in the Heaven, and what lies between the two and what is (covered) underneath the soil.

أَحْمَدُهُ بِخَالِصِ حَمْدِهِ الْمَخْزُونِ بِمَا حَمِدَهُ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ النَّبِيُّونَ حَمْداً لَا يُحْصَى لَهُ عَدَدٌ وَ لَا يَتَقَدَّمُهُ أَمَدٌ وَ لَا يَأْتِي بِمِثْلِهِ أَحَدٌ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَسْتَهْدِيهِ وَ أَسْتَكْفِيهِ وَ أَسْتَقْضِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ وَ أَسْتَرْضِيهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَرْسَلَهُ بِالْهُدَى وَ دِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

Iasws Praise Himazwj sincerely with the treasured Praise, by what the Angels and the Prophetsas Praised Himazwj. A Praise which cannot be numbered, nor can time pass it by, and no one has even come with the like of it. Iasws believe in Himazwj and place reliance upon Himazwj, and Guided by Himazwj, Sufficed by Himazwj, and Judged by Himazwj with good, and by Hisazwj Pleasure. And Iasws testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Messengersaww having Sent with the Guidance and the Religion of the Truth to Make it overcome all of the other Religions even though the Polytheists may be averse to it. May greetings be upon himsaww and hissaww Progenyasws’.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَيْسَتْ لَكُمْ بِدَارٍ وَ لَا قَرَارٍ إِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا كَرَكْبٍ عَرَّسُوا فَأَنَاخُوا ثُمَّ اسْتَقَلُّوا فَغَدَوْا وَ رَاحُوا دَخَلُوا خِفَافاً وَ رَاحُوا خِفَافاً لَمْ يَجِدُوا عَنْ مُضِيٍّ نُزُوعاً وَ لَا إِلَى مَا تَرَكُوا رُجُوعاً جُدَّ بِهِمْ فَجَدُّوا وَ رَكَنُوا إِلَى الدُّنْيَا فَمَا اسْتَعَدُّوا حَتَّى إِذَا أُخِذَ بِكَظَمِهِمْ وَ خَلَصُوا إِلَى دَارِ قَوْمٍ جَفَّتْ أَقْلَامُهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ أَكْثَرِهِمْ خَبَرٌ وَ لَا أَثَرٌ

O you people! The world is not a house for you to settle in, but rather you are in it like passengers of a caravan, which have been asked to move on soon after being disembarked. They came to it lightly (without luggage) and would be exiting from it lightly (with empty hands), not finding a way to divert from the journey, or a way to return to what they had left behind. Take them seriously, for they relied upon the world and did not prepare until they were taken by the throat, and their conclusion was that they ended-up in a house of people for whom the pens have dried up (nothing to be written anymore for them). There remains neither any news for most of them nor any traces of them.

قَلَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَبْثُهُمْ وَ عُجِّلَ إِلَى الْآخِرَةِ بَعْثُهُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ حُلُولًا فِي دِيَارِهِمْ ظَاعِنِينَ عَلَى آثَارِهِمْ وَ الْمَطَايَا بِكُمْ تَسِيرُ سَيْراً مَا فِيهِ أَيْنٌ وَ لَا تَفْتِيرٌ نَهَارُكُمْ بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ دَءُوبٌ وَ لَيْلُكُمْ بِأَرْوَاحِكُمْ ذَهُوبٌ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ تَحْكُونَ مِنْ حَالِهِمْ حَالًا وَ تَحْتَذُونَ مِنْ مَسْلَكِهِمْ مِثَالًا فَلَا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتُمْ فِيهَا سَفْرٌ حُلُولٌ الْمَوْتُ بِكُمْ نُزُولٌ تَنْتَضِلُ فِيكُمْ مَنَايَاهُ وَ تَمْضِي بِأَخْبَارِكُمْ مَطَايَاهُ إِلَى دَارِ الثَّوَابِ وَ الْعِقَابِ وَ الْجَزَاءِ وَ الْحِسَابِ

They were in the world only for a little while and were dispatched to the Hereafter in a hurry. So you have become residents in their houses, following in their footsteps like a herd of animals travelling on a journey in which there is neither ‘Where’ (are we going?) and no ‘How far’ (are we going?). Your days are tiring upon yourselves and your nights are an escape for your souls. So in the morning your condition is what their condition used to be and you just follow their ways as examples. So do not let the life of the world deceive you, for you are only travelers in it. Death would descend among you and shoot its arrows, and herd you all to the House of the Reward, and the Punishment, and the Recompense, and the Accounting’.

فَرَحِمَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً رَاقَبَ رَبَّهُ وَ تَنَكَّبَ ذَنْبَهُ وَ كَابَرَ هَوَاهُ وَ كَذَّبَ مُنَاهُ امْرَأً زَمَّ نَفْسَهُ مِنَ التَّقْوَى بِزِمَامٍ وَ أَلْجَمَهَا مِنْ خَشْيَةِ رَبِّهَا بِلِجَامٍ فَقَادَهَا إِلَى الطَّاعَةِ بِزِمَامِهَا وَ قَدَعَهَا عَنِ الْمَعْصِيَةِ بِلِجَامِهَا رَافِعاً إِلَى الْمَعَادِ طَرْفَهُ مُتَوَقِّعاً فِي كُلِّ أَوَانٍ حَتْفَهُ دَائِمَ الْفِكْرِ طَوِيلَ السَّهَرِ عَزُوفاً عَنِ الدُّنْيَا سَأَماً كَدُوحاً لآِخِرَتِهِ مُتَحَافِظاً

May Allahazwj have Mercy upon the person who is concerned about his Lordazwj and moved away from his sins, and (likes to) argue against his own desires and rejects his own yearnings. A person who harnessed himself with the reins of piety for fearing for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, led to Hisazwj obedience by its reins, raising his head towards the Return with his eyes expecting the approach of death at all times, permanently thinking about it with a prolonged vigilance, abstaining from the world, earnestly working for the Hereafter. 

امْرَأً جَعَلَ الصَّبْرَ مَطِيَّةَ نَجَاتِهِ وَ التَّقْوَى عُدَّةَ وَفَاتِهِ وَ دَوَاءَ أَجْوَائِهِ فَاعْتَبَرَ وَ قَاسَ وَ تَرَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَ النَّاسَ يَتَعَلَّمُ لِلتَّفَقُّهِ وَ السَّدَادِ وَ قَدْ وَقَّرَ قَلْبَهُ ذِكْرُ الْمَعَادِ وَ طَوَى مِهَادَهُ وَ هَجَرَ وِسَادَهُ مُنْتَصِباً عَلَى أَطْرَافِهِ دَاخِلًا فِي أَعْطَافِهِ خَاشِعاً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُرَاوِحُ بَيْنَ الْوَجْهِ وَ الْكَفَّيْنِ خَشُوعٌ فِي السِّرِّ لِرَبِّهِ لَدَمْعُهُ صَبِيبٌ وَ لَقَلْبُهُ وَجِيبٌ شَدِيدَةٌ أَسْبَالُهُ تَرْتَعِدُ مِنْ خَوْفِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْصَالُهُ قَدْ عَظُمَتْ فِيمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رَغْبَتُهُ وَ اشْتَدَّتْ مِنْهُ رَهْبَتُهُ رَاضِياً بِالْكَفَافِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ يُظْهِرُ دُونَ مَا يَكْتُمُ وَ يَكْتَفِي بِأَقَلَّ مِمَّا يَعْلَمُ

A person who has made the patience to be his ride to salvation, and the piety as his preparation for his death and as a medication for his (spiritual) illness. He learned a lesson, and considered, and left the world and the people. He learnt it for understanding and steadfastness, and his heart had respected the remembrance of the Return. He folded up his mattress, separated himself from his pillow, stood up on his feet and entered in its surroundings, fearful for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, displaying humbleness between his face and the two palms in secret to his Lordazwj shedding tears and making his heart as a strong enclave in a prolonged fear of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. His interest is great regarding what is in the possession of Allahazwj whilst his fear for Pleasing Himazwj is intense. He suffices himself with the subsistence for his affairs and displays other than what he conceals, being content with the minimum from what he knows.

أُولَئِكَ وَدَائِعُ اللَّهِ فِي بِلَادِهِ الْمَدْفُوعُ بِهِمْ عَنْ عِبَادِهِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ أَحَدُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ لَأَبَرَّهُ أَوْ دَعَا عَلَى أَحَدٍ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا نَاجَاهُ وَ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ الْعَاقِبَةَ لِلتَّقْوَى وَ الْجَنَّةَ لِأَهْلِهَا مَأْوًى دُعَاؤُهُمْ فِيهَا أَحْسَنُ الدُّعَاءِ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ دَعَاهُمُ الْمَوْلَى عَلَى مَا آتَاهُمْ وَ آخِرُ دَعْوَاهُمْ أَنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

These are the trusted ones of Allahazwj in Hisazwj land, by whom Heazwj Defends Hisazwj servants. If one of them were to swear upon Allahazwj Majestic is Hisazwj Mention, he would fulfill it, or if he were to supplicate against anyone, Allahazwj would Help him. Heazwj Listens to him when he whispers to Himazwj and Answers Himazwj when he calls upon Himazwj. Allahazwj has Made the Good Ending to be for the pious and the Paradise for its deserving ones. “[10:10] Their cry in it shall be the best of the calls Glory to Thee, O Allah! Their calling out to the Masterazwj for what Heazwj would have Bestowed upon them, and their greeting in it shall be: Peace; and the last of their cry shall be: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds”.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام)

SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14642- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ هَذِهِ الْخُطْبَةَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَهْلِ الْحَمْدِ وَ وَلِيِّهِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الْحَمْدِ وَ مَحَلِّهِ الْبَدِي‏ءِ الْبَدِيعِ الْأَجَلِّ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعَزِّ الْأَكْرَمِ الْمُتَوَحِّدِ بِالْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْمُتَفَرِّدِ بِالْآلَاءِ الْقَاهِرِ بِعِزِّهِ وَ الْمُسَلِّطِ بِقَهْرِهِ الْمُمْتَنِعِ بِقُوَّتِهِ الْمُهَيْمِنِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ الْمُتَعَالِي فَوْقَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ الْمَحْمُودِ بِامْتِنَانِهِ وَ بِإِحْسَانِهِ الْمُتَفَضِّلِ بِعَطَائِهِ وَ جَزِيلِ فَوَائِدِهِ الْمُوَسِّعِ بِرِزْقِهِ الْمُسْبِغِ بِنِعَمِهِ نَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى آلَائِهِ وَ تَظَاهُرِ نَعْمَائِهِ حَمْداً يَزِنُ عَظَمَةَ جَلَالِهِ وَ يَمْلَأُ قَدْرَ آلَائِهِ وَ كِبْرِيَائِهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ فِي أَوَّلِيَّتِهِ مُتَقَادِماً وَ فِي دَيْمُومِيَّتِهِ مُتَسَيْطِراً خَضَعَ الْخَلَائِقُ لِوَحْدَانِيَّتِهِ وَ رُبُوبِيَّتِهِ وَ قَدِيمِ أَزَلِيَّتِهِ وَ دَانُوا لِدَوَامِ أَبَدِيَّتِهِ

H 14642 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al-No’man, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws mentioned this sermon of Amir-ul-Momineenasws on the day of Friday : - ‘All Praise is for Allahazwj Whoazwj is Deserving of all Praise and is the Guardian of it, and all Praise ends to Himazwj in its rightful place, the Initiator, and Inventor, the Majestic, the Magnificent, the Mighty, the Benevolent, the only One for the Greatness, and the Unique One for the Highness, the Omnipotent with Esteem, and the Overcomer by Hisazwj Omnipotence, the Preventer by Hisazwj Force, the Dominant by Hisazwj Power, Higher than everything by Hisazwj Compulsiveness, the Praised One by Hisazwj Gratitude and by Hisazwj Favours, the Provider by Hisazwj Gifts, and excessive Benefits, the Expansive in Hisazwj Sustenance, the Bestower by Hisazwj Bounties. We Praise Himazwj for Hisazwj Bounties and apparent Blessings, with a Praise weighed by Hisazwj Greatness and Hisazwj Majesty, and filled by Hisazwj Blessings and Greatness. And Iasws testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, Whoazwj was in Hisazwj Existence as Foremost and in Hisazwj Everlasting. Veiled from the creatures was Hisazwj Oneness, and Hisazwj Lordship, and Hisazwj being Eternal, and they were submitted to the continuance of time.

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ خِيَرَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ اخْتَارَهُ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ اصْطَفَاهُ لِوَحْيِهِ وَ ائْتَمَنَهُ عَلَى سِرِّهِ وَ ارْتَضَاهُ لِخَلْقِهِ وَ انْتَدَبَهُ لِعَظِيمِ أَمْرِهِ وَ لِضِيَاءِ مَعَالِمِ دِينِهِ وَ مَنَاهِجِ سَبِيلِهِ وَ مِفْتَاحِ وَحْيِهِ وَ سَبَباً لِبَابِ رَحْمَتِهِ ابْتَعَثَهُ عَلَى حِينِ فَتْرَةٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ وَ هَدْأَةٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ وَ اخْتِلَافٍ مِنَ الْمِلَلِ وَ ضَلَالٍ عَنِ الْحَقِّ وَ جَهَالَةٍ بِالرَّبِّ وَ كُفْرٍ بِالْبَعْثِ وَ الْوَعْدِ أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ بِكِتَابٍ كَرِيمٍ قَدْ فَضَّلَهُ وَ فَصَّلَهُ وَ بَيَّنَهُ وَ أَوْضَحَهُ وَ أَعَزَّهُ وَ حَفِظَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَهُ الْبَاطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٍ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ ضَرَبَ لِلنَّاسِ فِيهِ الْأَمْثَالَ وَ صَرَّفَ فِيهِ الْآيَاتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْقِلُونَ أَحَلَّ فِيهِ الْحَلَالَ وَ حَرَّمَ فِيهِ الْحَرَامَ وَ شَرَعَ فِيهِ الدِّينَ لِعِبَادِهِ عُذْراً وَ نُذْراً لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّهِ حُجَّةٌ بَعْدَ الرُّسُلِ وَ يَكُونَ بَلَاغاً لِقَوْمٍ عَابِدِينَ فَبَلَّغَ رِسَالَتَهُ وَ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ وَ عَبَدَهُ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الْيَقِينُ صَلَّى اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً

And Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant, and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and Hisazwj elite from Hisazwj creatures having Chosen himsaww with Hisazwj Knowledge and Selected himsaww for Hisazwj Revelation, and Relied upon himsaww for Hisazwj Secret, and was Pleased with himsaww for Hisazwj creatures, Assigned himsaww for Hisazwj Great Command as a beacon for the Principles of Hisazwj Religion and a Program for Hisazwj Way, and an Opener for Hisazwj Revelation, as a Reason for the Door of Hisazwj Mercy. Heazwj Sent himsaww during a gap from the Messengersas, and Guides from the Knowledge, and during fatigue from the differing and straying from the truth, and ignorance about the Lordazwj, and denial of the Resurrection, and the Promise that Heazwj Sent himsaww to all the people as a Mercy to the Worlds by the Honourable Book which Heazwj had Excelled it, and Detailed it, and Explained it, and Clarified it, and Strengthened it, and Preserved it from it being approached by the falsehood from its front and from its back.

A Revelation from the Most Wise and Praised Oneazwj. In it Heazwj struck examples, and Gave therein Signs for the ones who have intellect. Heazwj Permitted therein the Permissibles and Prohibited therein the Prohibitions, and Legalised therein the Religion for Hisazwj servants, Giving Excuses and Warnings so that they would become a Proof for the people to Allahazwj after the Messengersas and become a Preaching for a worshipping people. So hesaww preached Hisazwj Message, and strived in Hisazwj Way, and worshipped Himazwj they were convinced. May Greetings of Allahazwj be upon himsaww and hissaww Progenyasws, and submission to himsaww be a lot of Peace.

أُوصِيكُمْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَ أُوصِي نَفْسِي بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ الَّذِي ابْتَدَأَ الْأُمُورَ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ إِلَيْهِ يَصِيرُ غَداً مِيعَادُهَا وَ بِيَدِهِ فَنَاؤُهَا وَ فَنَاؤُكُمْ وَ تَصَرُّمُ أَيَّامِكُمْ وَ فَنَاءُ آجَالِكُمْ وَ انْقِطَاعُ مُدَّتِكُمْ فَكَأَنْ قَدْ زَالَتْ عَنْ قَلِيلٍ عَنَّا وَ عَنْكُمْ كَمَا زَالَتْ عَمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ

Iasws advise you, O servants of Allahazwj to fear Allahazwj Who Began the affairs by Hisazwj Knowledge and to Himazwj is their journey tomorrow for its end. And in Hisazwj Hand is their extinction, and your extinction, and the expiration for your days, and the extermination of your allocated terms, and the cutting off of your terms. So, very shortly it would pass by you all just as it had left the ones who were before you all.

فَاجْعَلُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ اجْتِهَادَكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا التَّزَوُّدَ مِنْ يَوْمِهَا الْقَصِيرِ لِيَوْمِ الْآخِرَةِ الطَّوِيلِ فَإِنَّهَا دَارُ عَمَلٍ وَ الْآخِرَةَ دَارُ الْقَرَارِ وَ الْجَزَاءِ فَتَجَافَوْا عَنْهَا فَإِنَّ الْمُغْتَرَّ مَنِ اغْتَرَّ بِهَا لَنْ تَعْدُوَ الدُّنْيَا إِذَا تَنَاهَتْ إِلَيْهَا أُمْنِيَّةُ أَهْلِ الرَّغْبَةِ فِيهَا الْمُحِبِّينَ لَهَا الْمُطْمَئِنِّينَ إِلَيْهَا الْمَفْتُونِينَ بِهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَماءٍ أَنْزَلْناهُ مِنَ السَّماءِ فَاخْتَلَطَ بِهِ نَباتُ الْأَرْضِ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ النَّاسُ وَ الْأَنْعامُ الْآيَةَ

Servants of Allahazwj! Make your striving in this world to provide from these short-lived days for the days of the Hereafter which are prolonged, for this is the house for the deeds and the Hereafter is the house for dwelling in, and the Recompense. So abandon it (the world), for deceived is the one who is deceived by its deception. Do not rely upon the world by attaching your hopes and become the ones who love it, the ones who covet it, the ones who are fascinated by it just like what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[10:24] The likeness of this world's life is only as water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect”.

مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُصِبِ امْرُؤٌ مِنْكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا حَبْرَةً إِلَّا أَوْرَثَتْهُ عَبْرَةً وَ لَا يُصْبِحُ فِيهَا فِي جَنَاحٍ آمِنٍ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَخَافُ فِيهَا نُزُولَ جَائِحَةٍ أَوْ تَغَيُّرَ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ زَوَالَ عَافِيَةٍ مَعَ أَنَّ الْمَوْتَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ذَلِكَ وَ هَوْلَ الْمُطَّلَعِ وَ الْوُقُوفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْحَكَمِ الْعَدْلِ تُجْزَى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا عَمِلَتْ لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَساؤُا بِما عَمِلُوا وَ يَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى

Along with that, a person never got experience in this world except that he inherited a lesson from it, nor did he wake up in the morning feeling secure except that he feared in it the descent of a catastrophe, or a change in bounties or a decline in health, with the death right behind that, and the trepidation of the Pausing in front of the Wise and Just Oneazwj Recompensing every soul with what it had done “[53:31] that He may reward those who do evil according to what they do, and (that) He may reward those who do good with goodness”.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ سَارِعُوا إِلَى رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَ الْعَمَلِ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ التَّقَرُّبِ إِلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ مَا فِيهِ الرِّضَا فَإِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ مِمَّنْ يَعْمَلُ بِمَحَابِّهِ وَ يَجْتَنِبُ سَخَطَهُ

So fear Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, and hasten to the Pleasure of Allahazwj, and the deeds with obedience to Himazwj, and get closer to Himazwj with everything in which there is Hisazwj Pleasure for Heazwj is Near and Answers. May Allahazwj Make usasws and you all of those who act towards Hisazwj Love and keep aside from Hisazwj Harshness.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ وَ أَبْلَغَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ وَ أَنْفَعَ التَّذَكُّرِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِذا قُرِئَ الْقُرْآنُ فَاسْتَمِعُوا لَهُ وَ أَنْصِتُوا لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ أَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ الْعَصْرِ إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَفِي خُسْرٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ وَ تَواصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَ تَواصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَحَنَّنْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَأَفْضَلِ مَا صَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارَكْتَ وَ تَرَحَّمْتَ وَ تَحَنَّنْتَ وَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

Then the best of the stories, and the best of the Advice, and the most beneficial of the Remembrance is the Book of Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[7:204] And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you”. Iasws seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the Satanla the castaway. In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent the Merciful “[103:1] I swear by the time, [103:2] Most surely man is in loss, [103:3] Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience”. “[33:56] Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation”.

اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُحَمَّداً الْوَسِيلَةَ وَ الشَّرَفَ وَ الْفَضِيلَةَ وَ الْمَنْزِلَةَ الْكَرِيمَةَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَعْظَمَ الْخَلَائِقِ كُلِّهِمْ شَرَفاً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مِنْكَ مَقْعَداً وَ أَوْجَهَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ جَاهاً وَ أَفْضَلَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ مَنْزِلَةً وَ نَصِيباً اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُحَمَّداً أَشْرَفَ الْمَقَامِ وَ حِبَاءَ السَّلَامِ وَ شَفَاعَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَلْحِقْنَا بِهِ غَيْرَ خَزَايَا وَ لَا نَاكِبِينَ وَ لَا نَادِمِينَ وَ لَا مُبَدِّلِينَ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ آمِينَ

Our Allahazwj! Grant to Muhammadsaww the ‘الْوَسِيلَةَ’ Means, and the ‘الشَّرَفَ’ Dignity, and the ‘الْفَضِيلَةَ’ Preference, and the ‘الْمَنْزِلَةَ الْكَرِيمَةَ’ Honourable Status. Our Allahazwj!

And join us all with himsaww, without failure, or loss, or remorse or alteration. O Lordazwj of the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just! Amen!’

ثُمَّ جَلَسَ قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَحَقَّ مَنْ خُشِيَ وَ حُمِدَ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَنِ اتُّقِيَ وَ عُبِدَ وَ أَوْلَى مَنْ عُظِّمَ وَ مُجِّدَ نَحْمَدُهُ لِعَظِيمِ غَنَائِهِ وَ جَزِيلِ عَطَائِهِ وَ تَظَاهُرِ نَعْمَائِهِ وَ حُسْنِ بَلَائِهِ وَ نُؤْمِنُ بِهُدَاهُ الَّذِي لَا يَخْبُو ضِيَاؤُهُ وَ لَا يَتَمَهَّدُ سَنَاؤُهُ وَ لَا يُوهَنُ عُرَاهُ وَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ سُوءِ كُلِّ الرَّيْبِ وَ ظُلَمِ الْفِتَنِ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ مِنْ مَكَاسِبِ الذُّنُوبِ وَ نَسْتَعْصِمُهُ مِنْ مَسَاوِي الْأَعْمَالِ وَ مَكَارِهِ الْآمَالِ وَ الْهُجُومِ فِي الْأَهْوَالِ وَ مُشَارَكَةِ أَهْلِ الرَّيْبِ وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا يَعْمَلُ الْفُجَّارُ فِي الْأَرْضِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ

Then heasws sat down for a while, then stood up and said: ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj the One most deserving to be Awed and Praised, and the Foremost for the one who fears and worships, and the Highest for the one who Magnifies and Glorifies. We Praise Himazwj for Hisazwj Great Benevolence, and Excessive Grants, and apparent of Hisazwj Favours, and the goodness of Hisazwj Trials. And we believe in Hisazwj Guidance whose light does not get extinguished, nor does Hisazwj Extol be fully expressed, Whose Handle does not weaken. We seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the evil of every doubt, and the darkness of the strife, and we seek Forgiveness from the accumulation of the sins, and seek Protection from Himazwj from the wickedness of the deeds, and the detestable hopes, and the attacks of the terrors, and association with the people of the doubt, and the happiness with what the immoral ones do in the earth without having any right to do so. 

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ الَّذِينَ تَوَفَّيْتَهُمْ عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ مِلَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ (صلى الله عليه وآله) اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ حَسَنَاتِهِمْ وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَيْهِمُ الرَّحْمَةَ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَ الرِّضْوَانَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِلْأَحْيَاءِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الَّذِينَ وَحَّدُوكَ وَ صَدَّقُوا رَسُولَكَ وَ تَمَسَّكُوا بِدِينِكَ وَ عَمِلُوا بِفَرَائِضِكَ وَ اقْتَدَوْا بِنَبِيِّكَ وَ سَنُّوا سُنَّتَكَ وَ أَحَلُّوا حَلَالَكَ وَ حَرَّمُوا حَرَامَكَ وَ خَافُوا عِقَابَكَ وَ رَجَوْا ثَوَابَكَ وَ وَالَوْا أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ عَادَوْا أَعْدَاءَكَ اللَّهُمَّ اقْبَلْ حَسَنَاتِهِمْ وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِمْ وَ أَدْخِلْهُمْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ آمِينَ.

Our Allahazwj! Forgive us, and the Believing men and the Believing women, the living ones among them and the dead who Youazwj have Made to die upon Yourazwj Religion, and the Nation of Yourazwj Prophetsaww. Our Allahazwj, Accept their good deeds, and Overlook their sins, and Make Mercy to enter upon them, and the Forgiveness, and the Pleasure. And Forgive the living ones from the Believing men and the Believing women who believed in Yourazwj Oneness, and ratified Yourazwj Messengersaww, and attached themselves to Yourazwj Religion, and acted upon Yourazwj Obligations, and followed Yourazwj Prophetsaww, and made Yourazwj Sunnah to be their Sunnah, and permitted for themselves Yourazwj Permissibles, and Prohibited for themselves Yourazwj Prohibitions, and feared Yourazwj Punishment, and hoped for Yourazwj Rewards, and befriended Yourazwj friends, and were inimical to Yourazwj enemies. Our Allahazwj! Accept their good deeds, and Overlook their sins, and Keep them, by Yourazwj Mercy, with the righteous servants, O Lordazwj of the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just. Amen!’

H 14643 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Washa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said:

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘For every Believer is a Protector and an Informer (Sa’ib)’. I said, ‘And what is the Protector, and what is the Informer, O Abu Ja’farasws?’ Heasws said: ‘The Protector from Allahazwj Blessed and High, Protecting from Al-Wilayah by which the Believer is protected wherever he may be. And as for the Informer, so it is the good news of Muhammadsaww which Allahazwj Blessed and High Gives to the Believer wherever he may be whatever situation he may be in’.

H 14644 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hajjaal, from hammaad, from Al-Halby, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Intermingle with the people to find out about them, and when you find out about them, (only then) travel/associate with them’.

14645- سَهْلٌ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ النَّاسُ مَعَادِنُ كَمَعَادِنِ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَصْلٌ فَلَهُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أَصْلٌ.

H 14645 – Sahl, from Bakr Bin Saleh with an unbroken chain from Abu Abdullahasws the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The people are (similar to) a mine, like a mine of gold and that of silver. So they had an origin in the days of ignorance (pre-Islam), so there are (very few) who had an origin in Al-Islam’.

14646- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ تَمَثَّلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) بِبَيْتِ شِعْرٍ لِابْنِ أَبِي عَقِبٍ وَ يُنْحَرُ بِالزَّوْرَاءِ مِنْهُمْ لَدَى الضُّحَى ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفاً مِثْلُ مَا تُنْحَرُ الْبُدْنُ [وَ رَوَى غَيْرُهُ الْبُزَّلُ] ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي تَعْرِفُ الزَّوْرَاءَ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهَا بَغْدَادُ قَالَ لَا ثُمَّ قَالَ (عليه السلام) دَخَلْتَ الرَّيَّ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَتَيْتَ سُوقَ الدَّوَابِّ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ رَأَيْتَ الْجَبَلَ الْأَسْوَدَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الطَّرِيقِ تِلْكَ الزَّوْرَاءُ يُقْتَلُ فِيهَا ثَمَانُونَ أَلْفاً مِنْهُمْ ثَمَانُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ وُلْدِ فُلَانٍ كُلُّهُمْ يَصْلُحُ لِلْخِلَافَةِ قُلْتُ وَ مَنْ يَقْتُلُهُمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يَقْتُلُهُمْ أَوْلَادُ الْعَجَمِ.

H 14646 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Saleh, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws quoted a verse from the poem of Ibn Abu Aqab as an example, ‘And there shall be slaughtered at Al-Zawra eighty thousand from among them, in the forenoon like the slaughtering of sacrificial animals’ (and others have reported it as ‘in the drain’). Then heasws said to me: ‘Do you know of Al-Zawra?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, they are saying that it is Baghdad’. Heasws said: ‘No’. Then heasws said: ‘Have you been to Al-Rayy?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Did you come across the animal market?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Have you seen the black mountain on the right? Well, that is Al-Zawra, in which eighty thousand would be killed, including eighty men from among them from the children of so and so, all of them being suitable for the ‘لِلْخِلَافَةِ’ succession’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, and who would be killing them?’ Heasws said: ‘They would be killed by the ‘أَوْلَادُ الْعَجَمِ’ children of non-Arabs.’

14647- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الَّذِينَ إِذا ذُكِّرُوا بِآياتِ رَبِّهِمْ لَمْ يَخِرُّوا عَلَيْها صُمًّا وَ عُمْياناً قَالَ مُسْتَبْصِرِينَ لَيْسُوا بِشُكَّاكٍ.

H 14647 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, from Abu Baseer who said:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[25:73] And they who, when reminded of the Signs of their Lord, do not fall down at them as if they were deaf or blind”. Heasws said: ‘Those who embrace (the Signs[21] of Allah) without any doubts’.

14648- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ لا يُؤْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَيَعْتَذِرُونَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَجَلُّ وَ أَعْدَلُ وَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِعَبْدِهِ عُذْرٌ لَا يَدَعُهُ يَعْتَذِرُ بِهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ فُلِجَ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عُذْرٌ.

H 14648 – From him, from Ali, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Hammad Bin Busman who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying with regards to the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[77:36] And permission shall not be given to them so that they should offer excuses”. So Imamasws said: ‘Allahazwj is more Majestic, and Just, and Greater than it, that if a servant has an excuse, Heazwj would not Allow it to be presented by him. But, rather (it means that) he would fail and run out of excuses’.

14649- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ مَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً وَ يَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لا يَحْتَسِبُ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا ضُعَفَاءُ لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُمْ مَا يَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِهِ إِلَيْنَا فَيَسْمَعُونَ حَدِيثَنَا وَ يَقْتَبِسُونَ مِنْ عِلْمِنَا فَيَرْحَلُ قَوْمٌ فَوْقَهُمْ وَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَ يُتْعِبُونَ أَبْدَانَهُمْ حَتَّى يَدْخُلُوا عَلَيْنَا فَيَسْمَعُوا حَدِيثَنَا فَيَنْقُلُونَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيَعِيهِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ تُضَيِّعُهُ هَؤُلَاءِ فَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ لَهُمْ مَخْرَجاً وَ يَرْزُقُهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُونَ

H 14649 – Ali, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Al-Kunary who said:

‘It was narrated to us with an unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullahasws regarding Hisazwj Statement, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention: “[65:2] and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will make for him an outlet [65:3] And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine”. Heasws said: ‘These are ourasws weak Shites who do not have the means in order to take it (directly) from usasws. So they hear ourasws Hadeeth and they try to accumulate from ourasws Knowledge. A people who are higher than them, who spend their wealth, tiring their bodies to the extent that they came up to usasws, hear ourasws Hadeeth and transmit these to them. So these ones preserve them, whilst those ones waste them. So they are the ones for whom Allahazwj Mighty is Hisazwj Mention Makes an outlet for them and Gives them Sustenance (Hadeeth) from a source which they had not even considered beforehand.

وَ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَلْ أَتاكَ حَدِيثُ الْغاشِيَةِ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يَغْشَوْنَ الْإِمَامَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لا يُسْمِنُ وَ لا يُغْنِي مِنْ جُوعٍ قَالَ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمْ وَ لَا يُغْنِيهِمْ لَا يَنْفَعُهُمُ الدُّخُولُ وَ لَا يُغْنِيهِمُ الْقُعُودُ.

And with regards to the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[88:1] Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?” heasws said; ‘These are the ones who have cheated the Imamasws’ – up to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[88:7] Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger”, said: ‘It will neither benefit them, nor free them from needs, nor will it benefit them with the entering (marital relationships), nor free them from the need of sitting down (from begging for more)’.

14650- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ما يَكُونُ مِنْ نَجْوى ثَلاثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رابِعُهُمْ وَ لا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سادِسُهُمْ وَ لا أَدْنى مِنْ ذلِكَ وَ لا أَكْثَرَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَعَهُمْ أَيْنَ ما كانُوا ثُمَّ يُنَبِّئُهُمْ بِما عَمِلُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلِيمٌ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْجَرَّاحِ وَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَ سَالِمٍ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ وَ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ حَيْثُ كَتَبُوا الْكِتَابَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ تَعَاهَدُوا وَ تَوَافَقُوا لَئِنْ مَضَى مُحَمَّدٌ لَا تَكُونُ الْخِلَافَةُ فِي بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ لَا النُّبُوَّةُ أَبَداً فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ

H 14650 – From him, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Ali Bin Abu hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[58:7] Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them wheresoever they are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of resurrection: surely Allah is Cognizant of all things”. Heasws said; ‘This was Revealed regarding so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and Abu Ubeyda Ibn Al-Jarrah, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, and Saalim Mawla Abu Huzeyfa, and Al-Mugheira Bin Sho’ba, when they wrote the agreement in between them and took a pledge and agreed that if Muhammadsaww were to pass away, they would not let the Caliphate to be in the Clan of Hashim, nor the Prophet-hood ever. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed this Verse with regards to them.

قَالَ قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمْ أَبْرَمُوا أَمْراً فَإِنَّا مُبْرِمُونَ أَمْ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّا لا نَسْمَعُ سِرَّهُمْ وَ نَجْواهُمْ بَلى وَ رُسُلُنا لَدَيْهِمْ يَكْتُبُونَ قَالَ وَ هَاتَانِ الْآيَتَانِ نَزَلَتَا فِيهِمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَوْمٌ يُشْبِهُ يَوْمَ كُتِبَ الْكِتَابُ إِلَّا يَوْمَ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام) وَ هَكَذَا كَانَ فِي سَابِقِ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِي أَعْلَمَهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنْ إِذَا كُتِبَ الْكِتَابُ قُتِلَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ خَرَجَ الْمُلْكُ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَقَدْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ

I said, ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[43:79] Or have they settled an affair? Then surely, We are the settlers. [43:80] Or do they think that We do not hear what they conceal and their secret discourses? Indeed (We do), and Our messengers are by them, to record”. Heasws said: ‘And these two Verse were Revealed regarding them on that day’. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Hopefully you will see that is was a day resembling the day of the writing of the agreement except for the day Al-Husaynasws was martyred, and thus it had preceded in the Knowledge of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic which Heazwj Made known to the Rasool Allahsaww that when the agreement is written down, Al-Husaynasws would be martyred, and the kingdom would exit from the Clan of Hashim. So all of that did take place.

قُلْتُ وَ إِنْ طائِفَتانِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اقْتَتَلُوا فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُما فَإِنْ بَغَتْ إِحْداهُما عَلَى الْأُخْرى فَقاتِلُوا الَّتِي تَبْغِي حَتَّى تَفِي‏ءَ إِلى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ فاءَتْ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَهُما بِالْعَدْلِ قَالَ الْفِئَتَانِ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ يَوْمَ الْبَصْرَةِ وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ بَغَوْا عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَكَانَ الْوَاجِبَ عَلَيْهِ قِتَالُهُمْ وَ قَتْلُهُمْ حَتَّى يَفِيئُوا إِلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ لَمْ يَفِيئُوا لَكَانَ الْوَاجِبَ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ أَنْ لَا يَرْفَعَ السَّيْفَ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَفِيئُوا وَ يَرْجِعُوا عَنْ رَأْيِهِمْ لِأَنَّهُمْ بَايَعُوا طَائِعِينَ غَيْرَ كَارِهِينَ وَ هِيَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى

I said, ‘The Verse: “[49:9] And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns to Allah's command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those who act equitably”. Heasws said: ‘The two groups, but rather its explanation came on the day of Al-Basra (The battle of the Camel), and they are the ones belonging to this Verse, and they are the ones who rebelled against Amir-ul-Momineenasws. So it was obligatory upon himasws to fight them, and heasws fought them until they submitted to the Command of Allahazwj. And had they not been submitted, it became obligatory upon himasws with regards to what Allahazwj Revealed, that heasws should not raise his sword (stop fighting) until they complied and returned from their opinions, because they had pledged their allegiances willingly, without compulsion. And this is the rebel group as Allahazwj the High has Said.

فَكَانَ الْوَاجِبَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) أَنْ يَعْدِلَ فِيهِمْ حَيْثُ كَانَ ظَفِرَ بِهِمْ كَمَا عَدَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّمَا مَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَفَا وَ كَذَلِكَ صَنَعَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) بِأَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ حَيْثُ ظَفِرَ بِهِمْ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ حَذْوَ النَّعْلِ بِالنَّعْلِ

So it was obligatory upon Amir-ul-Momineenasws that heasws should deal with justice among them when heasws was victorious over them, just as the Rasool Allahsaww had been just among the people of Mecca, hesaww was benevolent upon them and forgave them. And that is what Amir-ul-Momineenasws did with the people of Al-Basra when heasws was victorious over them similar to what the Rasool Allahsaww did with the people of Mecca. Like a sandal follows a sandal (same footsteps). 

قَالَ قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكَةَ أَهْوى قَالَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الْبَصْرَةِ هِيَ الْمُؤْتَفِكَةُ

I said, ‘(What about) the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[53:53] And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah)”. Heasws said: ‘These are the people of Al-Basra. It is the overthrown city’.

قُلْتُ وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكاتِ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّناتِ قَالَ أُولَئِكَ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ ائْتَفَكَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ انْقَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ.

I said, ‘(What about) “[9:70] and the overthrown cities; their messengers came to them with clear arguments”. Heasws said: ‘They were the people of Lutas, their town was turned upside down upon them’.

H 14651 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Safwan Bin yahya, from Hanaan who said:

‘I heard my father narrated from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Salmanar was seated with a number of people from Qureish in the Masjid. They started priding over their lineages and ancestry until they reached Salmanar. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to himar, ‘Inform me, who youar are, and who yourar father is, and what is yourar origin’. So hear said: ‘Iar am Salmanar son of a servant of Allahazwj. Iar had strayed, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Guided mear by Muhammadsaww, and Iasws was needy, so Allahazwj Made mear to be self-sufficient by Muhammadsaww, and Iar was a slave, so Allahazwj Freed mear by Muhammadsaww. This is myar lineage, and this is myasws nobility’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ سَلْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَقِيتُ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ جَلَسْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَأَخَذُوا يَنْتَسِبُونَ وَ يَرْفَعُونَ فِي أَنْسَابِهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغُوا إِلَيَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَنْ أَنْتَ وَ مَا أَصْلُكَ وَ مَا حَسَبُكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَمَا قُلْتَ لَهُ يَا سَلْمَانُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنَا سَلْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ ضَالًّا فَهَدَانِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ كُنْتُ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَانِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ كُنْتُ مَمْلُوكاً فَأَعْتَقَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) هَذَا نَسَبِي وَ هَذَا حَسَبِي

Heasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww came out and Salmanar spoke to himsaww. Salmanar said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, what has been meted out to mear from those when Iar was seated with them. They took to priding themselves over their lineages and ancestry to the extent that they reached mear. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to me, ‘Who are youar, and what is yourar origin, and what is yourar status?’ So the Prophetsaww said: ‘So what did youar say to him, O Salmanar?’ Hear said, ‘Iar said, ‘‘Iar am Salmanar son of a servant of Allahazwj. Iar had strayed, so Allahazwj Guided mear through Muhammadsaww, and Iasws was needy, so Allahazwj Made mear to be self-sufficient through Muhammadsaww, and Iar was a slave, so Allahazwj Freed mear through Muhammadsaww. This is myar lineage, and this is myasws nobility’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ إِنَّ حَسَبَ الرَّجُلِ دِينُهُ وَ مُرُوءَتَهُ خُلُقُهُ وَ أَصْلَهُ عَقْلُهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّا خَلَقْناكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَ أُنْثى وَ جَعَلْناكُمْ شُعُوباً وَ قَبائِلَ لِتَعارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقاكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لِسَلْمَانَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَيْكَ فَضْلٌ إِلَّا بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ التَّقْوَى لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ.

So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘O group of Qureish, the nobility of a man is his Religion, and his chivalry in his manners, and his origin is his intellect. And Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[49:13] O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty)”. Then the Prophetsaww said to Salmanar: ‘There is no preference over youar from any of these ones except by fear of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and if there is piety for youar over them, so youar are more preferable’.

H 14652 – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Al-Hajjaaj, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Aliasws became the ruler, heasws ascended the Pulpit. So heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then said: ‘By Allahazwj! Iasws will not give you the sustenance from your spoils of war (Al-Fey) a single Dirham (more than what each of you deserve) so long as I have a palm tree left in Yasrab (Al-Medina). So be truthful to yourselves. Do you see what Iasws have prevented from myselfasws that Iasws shall give it to you?’ So Aqeel stood up and said to himasws, ‘By Allahazwj! You will consider me to be equal to a black man of Al-Medina?’ So heasws said: ‘Sit down! Is there not one here besides you to speak? And there is no preference to you except by a precedent (being foremost in Al-Islam) or by piety’.

H 14653 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Ubeyda, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww stood upon Al-Safa and said: ‘O Clan of Hashimas! O Clan of Abdul Muttalibas! Isaww am the Rasool Allahsaww to you all, and Iasws am compassionate towards you, and for mesaww are mysaww deeds, and for every man among you are his deeds.

Do not say that Muhammadsaww is from us and so we shall be entering where hesaww would be entering (The Paradise). So, no, by Allahazwj! There are no friends for mesaww from among you, nor from the others. O Clan of Abdul Muttalibas! Except for the pious ones, otherwise Isaww will not recognise you on the Day of Judgement. You will be coming carrying the ‘world’ (burden of the world) upon your backs and the people would be coming carrying the Hereafter. So Isaww warn you with regards to what is between mesaww and you all, and with regards to what is between myselfsaww and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic with regards to you all’.

H 14654 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Iasws saw (in a dream) as if Iasws am on top of a mountain, and the people are climbing up from all sides, to the extent that they were many of them, and it prolonged by them in the sky, and the people started falling off from it from all sides until there did not remain among them any one except for a small group. So they made an attempt five times, and during each of that the people fell off from it and there did not remain except for a (small) group. As for Qays Bin Abdullah Bin Ajlaan, he was in that group’. He (the narrator) said: ‘Heasws did not remain after that except for about five (days) until heasws passed away’.

H 14655 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammaad Bin Usman who said:

‘Abu Baseer narrated to me by saying, ‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘A man who was miles away from Al-Medina, saw in his dream in which it was said to him, ‘Go and Pray over Abu Ja’farasws, for the Angels have performed hisasws washing in Al-Baqi’e’. So the man went, and found Abu Ja’farasws to have passed away’.

H 14656 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of the Highazwj: “[3:103] and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it, through Muhammadsaww.’’ By Allahazwj, this is how Jibraeelas came down with it upon Muhammadsaww’.[22]

H 14657 – From him, from his father, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Yunus Bin Zibyaan, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws (regarding the Verse) “[3:92] By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend (benevolently) out of all you love”. This is how heasws read it’ (reading ‘مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ هَكَذَا فَاقْرَأْهَا’ instead of what is now in the Holy Quran  ‘وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ’).[23]

H 14658 – From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws (regarding the Verse) “[4:66] And if We had prescribed for them: Lay down your lives (totally submit themselves to the Imam) or go forth from your homes (for His Happiness), they would not have done it except a few of them; and if they (the opposing ones) had done what they were commanded, it would have certainly been better for them and best in strengthening (them)”, and regarding this Verse "[4:65] and then do not find any straightness in their hearts as to what you have decided from the command of the Guardianasws and submit to the obedience of Allahazwj with entire submission” (referring to the Tahreef in the Holy Quran).

14659- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جُنَادَةَ الْحُصَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخَارِقِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ وَرْقَاءَ بْنِ حَبَشِيِّ بْنِ جُنَادَةَ السَّلُولِيِّ صَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ ما فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَقَدْ سَبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ كَلِمَةُ الشَّقَاءِ وَ سَبَقَ لَهُمُ الْعَذَابُ وَ قُلْ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًا بَلِيغاً.

H 14659 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Abu Junada Al-Husayn Bin Al-Mukharaq Bin Abdul Rahmaan Bin Warqa Bin Habashy Bin Junada Al-Saluly, who has narrated the following:

A companion of the Rasool Allahazwj, from Abu Al-Hassan the Firstasws regarding the Statement of Allah Mighty and Majestic: “[4:63] These are they of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; for the Word of misery has already been Ordained for them and so has the Punishment been Ordained for them therefore turn aside from them and admonish them, and speak to them effectual words concerning themselves”

Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, and to the Guardianasws of the Command among you (Ul-Al-Amr)”. Then said: ‘How can Heazwj Command for theirasws obedience and then allow them (the people) to dispute with themasws.

14661- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) سَأَلَ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) كَيْفَ كَانَ مَهْلَكُ قَوْمِ صَالِحٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ صَالِحاً بُعِثَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ لَا يُجِيبُونَهُ إِلَى خَيْرٍ قَالَ وَ كَانَ لَهُمْ سَبْعُونَ صَنَماً يَعْبُدُونَهَا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ بُعِثْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ أَنَا ابْنُ سِتَّ عَشَرَ سَنَةً وَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ عِشْرِينَ وَ مِائَةَ سَنَةٍ وَ أَنَا أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَمْرَيْنِ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ فَاسْأَلُونِي حَتَّى أَسْأَلَ إِلَهِي فَيُجِيبَكُمْ فِيمَا سَأَلْتُمُونِي السَّاعَةَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ سَأَلْتُ آلِهَتَكُمْ فَإِنْ أَجَابَتْنِي بِالَّذِي أَسْأَلُهَا خَرَجْتُ عَنْكُمْ فَقَدْ سَئِمْتُكُمْ وَ سَئِمْتُمُونِي قَالُوا قَدْ أَنْصَفْتَ يَا صَالِحُ

H 14661 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The Messengersaww asked Jibraeelas: ‘How were the people of Salehas destroyed?’ So he said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Salehas was Sent to hisas people when he was sixteen years old. So hesaww was with them until heas reached the age of one hundred and twenty years, they did not answer himas to the good. And they had for themselves seventy idols which they worshipped apart from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. So when heas saw that among them, heas said: ‘O people! Ias was Sent to you all when Ias was sixteen years old, and Ias have now reached one hundred and twenty years, and Ias present to you all two matters. If you like you can ask me until Ias ask myas Godazwj so Heazwj would Answer you with regards to what you have asked me of within a short while. And if you like, Ias would ask your gods, so if they answer meas by that which Ias have asked them of, Ias would go away from you all. So Ias would have silenced you all and you would have silenced meas’. They said, ‘Youas are being fair, O Salehas’.

فَاتَّعَدُوا لِيَوْمٍ يَخْرُجُونَ فِيهِ قَالَ فَخَرَجُوا بِأَصْنَامِهِمْ إِلَى ظَهْرِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَرَّبُوا طَعَامَهُمْ وَ شَرَابَهُمْ فَأَكَلُوا وَ شَرِبُوا فَلَمَّا أَنْ فَرَغُوا دَعَوْهُ فَقَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ سَلْ فَقَالَ لِكَبِيرِهِمْ مَا اسْمُ هَذَا قَالُوا فُلَانٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ صَالِحٌ يَا فُلَانُ أَجِبْ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ فَقَالَ صَالِحُ مَا لَهُ لَا يُجِيبُ قَالُوا ادْعُ غَيْرَهُ قَالَ فَدَعَاهَا كُلَّهَا بِأَسْمَائِهَا فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ مِنْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَقْبَلُوا عَلَى أَصْنَامِهِمْ فَقَالُوا لَهَا مَا لَكِ لَا تُجِيبِينَ صَالِحاً فَلَمْ تُجِبْ فَقَالُوا تَنَحَّ عَنَّا وَ دَعْنَا وَ آلِهَتَنَا سَاعَةً

So they prepared for the day that they will be going out for it. So they went out with their idols upon their backs, and prepared their food and drinks. So they ate and drank. When they finished, they called himas over. They said, ‘O Salehas! Ask!’. So heas said to their elder: ‘What is the name of this one?’ He said, ‘Such and such’. So heas said to it: ‘O such and such! Answer meas!’ So it did not answer himas’. So Salehas said: ‘What is the matter with it that it does not answer?’ They said, ‘Ask another one’. So heas asked all of them by their names, but they did not answer himas anything. So they turned towards their idols and said to them: ‘What is the matter with you all that you do not answer Salehas?’ They did not answer. So they said, ‘Step away from us and leave us and our idols for a while’.

ثُمَّ نَحَّوْا بُسُطَهُمْ وَ فُرُشَهُمْ وَ نَحَّوْا ثِيَابَهُمْ وَ تَمَرَّغُوا عَلَى التُّرَابِ وَ طَرَحُوا التُّرَابَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ وَ قَالُوا لِأَصْنَامِهِمْ لَئِنْ لَمْ تُجِبْنَ صَالِحاً الْيَوْمَ لَتُفْضَحْنَ قَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَوْهُ فَقَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ ادْعُهَا فَدَعَاهَا فَلَمْ تُجِبْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَا قَوْمِ قَدْ ذَهَبَ صَدْرُ النَّهَارِ وَ لَا أَرَى آلِهَتَكُمْ تُجِيبُونِي فَاسْأَلُونِي حَتَّى أَدْعُوَ إِلَهِي فَيُجِيبَكُمُ السَّاعَةَ

Then they unrolled their rugs, and their furnishings, and their clothes, and wallowed upon the dust, and placed dust upon their heads, and said to their idols, ‘If you do not answer Salehas today, you will be exposed’. Then they called himas over, so they said, ‘O Salehas! Call to these (idols)’. So heas called upon them. They did not answer himas. So he as said to them: ‘O People! Half the morning has passed and Ias have not seen your gods to have answered meas. So ask meas, and Ias shall ask myas Godazwj, and Heazwj will Answer you shortly’.

فَانْتَدَبَ لَهُ مِنْهُمْ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ كُبَرَائِهِمْ وَ الْمَنْظُورِ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ نَحْنُ نَسْأَلُكَ فَإِنْ أَجَابَكَ رَبُّكَ اتَّبَعْنَاكَ وَ أَجَبْنَاكَ وَ يُبَايِعُكَ جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ قَرْيَتِنَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ صَالِحٌ (عليه السلام) سَلُونِي مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقَالُوا تَقَدَّمْ بِنَا إِلَى هَذَا الْجَبَلِ وَ كَانَ الْجَبَلُ قَرِيباً مِنْهُمْ فَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمْ صَالِحٌ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَوْا إِلَى الْجَبَلِ قَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا مِنْ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ السَّاعَةَ نَاقَةً حَمْرَاءَ شَقْرَاءَ وَبْرَاءَ عُشَرَاءَ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهَا مِيلٌ

Seventy men from their elders were delegated to himas from the approved ones from among them, so they said, ‘O Salehas! We ask you, so if youras Lordazwj were to answer us, we would follow youas and answer to youas, and pledge our allegiances to youas, all the people of our town altogether’. So Salehas said to them: ‘Ask meas whatsoever you like’. So they said, ‘Walk with us towards this mountain’, and the mountain was quite near to them. So Salehas went with them. When heas came up to the mountain, they said, ‘O Salehas! Call upon youras Lordazwj for us, to bring out for us from this mountain this very moment, a blonde, tame, red she-camel with a distance of a mile between the two sides of the mountain’.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ صَالِحٌ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتُمُونِي شَيْئاً يَعْظُمُ عَلَيَّ وَ يَهُونُ عَلَى رَبِّي جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ قَالَ فَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى صَالِحٌ ذَلِكَ فَانْصَدَعَ الْجَبَلُ صَدْعاً كَادَتْ تَطِيرُ مِنْهُ عُقُولُهُمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ اضْطَرَبَ ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلُ اضْطِرَاباً شَدِيداً كَالْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا أَخَذَهَا الْمَخَاضُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَفْجَأْهُمْ إِلَّا رَأْسُهَا قَدْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الصَّدْعِ فَمَا اسْتُتِمَّتْ رَقَبَتُهَا حَتَّى اجْتَرَّتْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَوَتْ قَائِمَةً عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا ذَلِكَ قَالُوا يَا صَالِحُ مَا أَسْرَعَ مَا أَجَابَكَ رَبُّكَ ادْعُ لَنَا رَبَّكَ يُخْرِجْ لَنَا فَصِيلَهَا فَسَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ فَرَمَتْ بِهِ فَدَبَّ حَوْلَهَا

So Salehas said to them: ‘You have asked meas for something which is great for meas, and is easy for myas Lordazwj Majestic and Mighty’. Salehas asked Allahazwj the High for that. The mountain split asunder with such a split that their intellects took flight when they heard that rumble of it. Then the mountain trembled with a great tremble like a woman trembling during labour. Then only its head came out of the crack in the mountain. When its neck showed, it began to chew its cud. Then the rest of its body came out, and it stood erect upon the ground. So when they all saw that, they said, ‘O Salehas, with what ease has youras Lordazwj Answered youas. Call upon youras Lordazwj for us to bring out for us its young’. So heas asked Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic for that. She brought it (babies) out and walked around them.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَا قَوْمِ أَ بَقِيَ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالُوا لَا انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى قَوْمِنَا نُخْبِرُهُمْ بِمَا رَأَيْنَا وَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِكَ قَالَ فَرَجَعُوا فَلَمْ يَبْلُغِ السَّبْعُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى ارْتَدَّ مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعَةٌ وَ سِتُّونَ رَجُلًا وَ قَالُوا سِحْرٌ وَ كَذِبٌ قَالُوا فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى الْجَمِيعِ فَقَالَ السِّتَّةُ حَقٌّ وَ قَالَ الْجَمِيعُ كَذِبٌ وَ سِحْرٌ قَالَ فَانْصَرَفُوا عَلَى ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ ارْتَابَ مِنَ السِّتَّةِ وَاحِدٌ فَكَانَ فِيمَنْ عَقَرَهَا

So heas said to them: ‘O people! Does there remain anything else?’ They said, ‘No. Come with us to our people. We shall inform them of what we have seen and they will believe in youas’. So they returned, but before the seventy of them could reach them, sixty four of them had reneged, and they were saying, This is sorcery and a lie’. This was reflected by all of them. So the remaining six were saying that it is the truth, whilst all the others were saying that it is a lie and sorcery. Then they all dispersed upon that, and one of the six then was overcome by doubt. So he was the one who slay it.

قَالَ ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يُقَالُ لَهُ سَعِيدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ رَأَى الْجَبَلَ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ بِالشَّامِ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ جَنْبَهَا قَدْ حَكَّ الْجَبَلَ فَأَثَّرَ جَنْبُهَا فِيهِ وَ جَبَلٍ آخَرَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ هَذَا مِيلٌ.

Ibn Mahboub (the narrator) said, ‘I narrated this Hadeeth to a man from our companions called Saeed Bin Yazeed. He informed me that he had seen the mountain from which (the she-camel) came out, in Syria. He said, ‘I saw its sides where the mountain split up, and the impact of it on its sides and the other side of it, and in between it and this one was a distance of a mile’.

14662- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ كَذَّبَتْ ثَمُودُ بِالنُّذُرِ فَقالُوا أَ بَشَراً مِنَّا واحِداً نَتَّبِعُهُ إِنَّا إِذاً لَفِي ضَلالٍ وَ سُعُرٍ أَ أُلْقِيَ الذِّكْرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ بَيْنِنا بَلْ هُوَ كَذَّابٌ أَشِرٌ قَالَ هَذَا كَانَ بِمَا كَذَّبُوا بِهِ صَالِحاً وَ مَا أَهْلَكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَوْماً قَطُّ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ الرُّسُلَ

H 14662 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Al-Hassan Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said when it was said to himasws “[54:23] (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings [54:24] For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness [54:25] Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!”, heasws said: ‘This is what they belied Salehas with, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic does not Destroy a people at all until Heazwj Sends to them, before that, the Messengeras.

فَيَحْتَجُّوا عَلَيْهِمْ فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ صَالِحاً فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يُجِيبُوا وَ عَتَوْا عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى تُخْرِجَ لَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ نَاقَةً عُشَرَاءَ وَ كَانَتِ الصَّخْرَةُ يُعَظِّمُونَهَا وَ يَعْبُدُونَهَا وَ يُذَبِّحُونَ عِنْدَهَا فِي رَأْسِ كُلِّ سَنَةٍ وَ يَجْتَمِعُونَ عِنْدَهَا فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَمَا تَزْعُمُ نَبِيّاً رَسُولًا فَادْعُ لَنَا إِلَهَكَ حَتَّى تُخْرَجَ لَنَا مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ الصَّمَّاءِ نَاقَةٌ عُشَرَاءُ فَأَخْرَجَهَا اللَّهُ كَمَا طَلَبُوا مِنْهُ

They argued against them (the Messengersas), so Allahazwj Sent Salehas to them. Heas called them towards Allahazwj. They did not respond and were insolent to himas, and said, ‘We will not believe youas until youas bring out for us from this rock a tame she-camel. And it was a rock which they used to magnify and worship and make their sacrifices near to its peak every year, and they used to gather around it. They said, ‘If youas are as you are alleging to be, a Prophetas, a Messengeras, so call upon youras Lordazwj for us until Heazwj Brings out for us from this solid rock a tame she-camel’. So Allahazwj Brought it out as they had sought from himas.

ثُمَّ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَا صَالِحُ قُلْ لَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ جَعَلَ لِهَذِهِ النَّاقَةِ [مِنَ الْمَاءِ] شِرْبَ يَوْمٍ وَ لَكُمْ شِرْبَ يَوْمٍ وَ كَانَتِ النَّاقَةُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ شِرْبِهَا شَرِبَتِ الْمَاءَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَيَحْلُبُونَهَا فَلَا يَبْقَى صَغِيرٌ وَ لَا كَبِيرٌ إِلَّا شَرِبَ مِنْ لَبَنِهَا يَوْمَهُمْ ذَلِكَ فَإِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ وَ أَصْبَحُوا غَدَوْا إِلَى مَائِهِمْ فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ لَمْ تَشْرَبِ النَّاقَةُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَمَكَثُوا بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Then Allahazwj Blessed and High Revealed unto himas: “O Salehas! Tell them that Allahazwj has Made a share for this she-camel, from the water, that it would drink from it one day and you would drink from it the next day”. And the day which was designated for the she-camel to drink, it would drink the water during that day. They would then milk her, and there did not remain any young one or old one except that he drank from her milk in the day of theirs when it was the night time. And in the morning they would drink from the water, and the she-camel would not drink from it during that day. So that situation prevailed until such time as Allahazwj so Desired it to.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ عَتَوْا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ مَشَى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَ قَالُوا اعْقِرُوا هَذِهِ النَّاقَةَ وَ اسْتَرِيحُوا مِنْهَا لَا نَرْضَى أَنْ يَكُونَ لَنَا شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ وَ لَهَا شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ ثُمَّ قَالُوا مَنِ الَّذِي يَلِي قَتْلَهَا وَ نَجْعَلَ لَهُ جُعْلًا مَا أَحَبَّ فَجَاءَهُمْ رَجُلٌ أَحْمَرُ أَشْقَرُ أَزْرَقُ وَلَدُ زِنًى لَا يُعْرَفُ لَهُ أَبٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ قُدَارٌ شَقِيٌّ مِنَ الْأَشْقِيَاءِ مَشْئُومٌ عَلَيْهِمْ فَجَعَلُوا لَهُ جُعْلًا فَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَتِ النَّاقَةُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ الَّذِي كَانَتْ تَرِدُهُ تَرَكَهَا حَتَّى شَرِبَتِ الْمَاءَ وَ أَقْبَلَتْ رَاجِعَةً فَقَعَدَ لَهَا فِي طَرِيقِهَا فَضَرَبَهَا بِالسَّيْفِ ضَرْبَةً فَلَمْ تَعْمَلْ شَيْئاً فَضَرَبَهَا ضَرْبَةً أُخْرَى فَقَتَلَهَا وَ خَرَّتْ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ عَلَى جَنْبِهَا وَ هَرَبَ فَصِيلُهَا حَتَّى صَعِدَ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ فَرَغَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ

Then they rebelled against Allahazwj and some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘Slay this she-camel, and be relaxed from it. We are not happy that there should be a day for us to drink and a day for it to drink’. Then they looked around for someone who could slay it, and made for him (a reward) of what he loved. So there came to them a red, blonde, blue-eyed man, of an adulterous birth, whose father was unknown, called Qudaar. A wretched one of all wretched ones of a sinister character, so they made up for him a reward for it. So when the she-camel went towards the water to drink from it, he left it until it had drunk the water. When it returned, he sat waiting for it upon its path. He struck her with the sword but it did not kill her. So he struck at it again and killed her and it fell down upon the earth on its side, and its young ones fled until they sat upon the mountain. They cried out three times towards the sky.

وَ أَقْبَلَ قَوْمُ صَالِحٍ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا شَرِكَهُ فِي ضَرْبَتِهِ وَ اقْتَسَمُوا لَحْمَهَا فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ صَغِيرٌ وَ لَا كَبِيرٌ إِلَّا أَكَلَ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ صَالِحٌ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ مَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَى مَا صَنَعْتُمْ أَ عَصَيْتُمْ رَبَّكُمْ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى صَالِحٍ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ قَوْمَكَ قَدْ طَغَوْا وَ بَغَوْا وَ قَتَلُوا نَاقَةً بَعَثْتُهَا إِلَيْهِمْ حُجَّةً عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا ضَرَرٌ وَ كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنْهَا أَعْظَمُ الْمَنْفَعَةِ فَقُلْ لَهُمْ إِنِّي مُرْسِلٌ عَلَيْكُمْ عَذَابِي إِلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَإِنْ هُمْ تَابُوا وَ رَجَعُوا قَبِلْتُ تَوْبَتَهُمْ وَ صَدَدْتُ عَنْهُمْ وَ إِنْ هُمْ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا وَ لَمْ يَرْجِعُوا بَعَثْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَذَابِي فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ

And the people of Salehas came over. So there did not remain anyone from them except that he participated in hitting it, and they distributed its meat in between themselves. There did not remain anyone from them, whether young or old except that he ate from it. So when Salehas saw that, heas came up to them and said, ‘O People! What called you all to do what you have done and rebelled against your Lordazwj?’ So Allahazwj Blessed and High unto Salehas: “Youras people have been tyrannous and rebellious, and killed the she-camel that was Sent to them as a Proof to them, and there was no harm in it for them, and there were great benefits from it for them. So tell them that Iazwj will be Sending upon you all Myazwj Punishment after three days. So they were to repent and return (from their ways), Iazwj shall Accept their repentance and Prevent it from them, and if they do not repent and do not return (from their ways), Iazwj will Send to them Myazwj Punishment on the third day”.

فَأَتَاهُمْ صَالِحٌ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَا قَوْمِ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَبِّكُمْ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ تُبْتُمْ وَ رَجَعْتُمْ وَ اسْتَغْفَرْتُمْ غَفَرْتُ لَكُمْ وَ تُبْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَلَمَّا قَالَ لَهُمْ ذَلِكَ كَانُوا أَعْتَى مَا كَانُوا وَ أَخْبَثَ وَ قَالُوا يا صالِحُ ائْتِنا بِما تَعِدُنا إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ [الصَّادِقِينَ] قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ إِنَّكُمْ تُصْبِحُونَ غَداً وَ وُجُوهُكُمْ مُصْفَرَّةٌ وَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّانِيَ وُجُوهُكُمْ مُحْمَرَّةٌ وَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ وُجُوهُكُمْ مُسْوَدَّةٌ

So Salehas came and said to them: ‘O people! Ias am a Messengeras of your Lordazwj. Heazwj is Saying to you all that if you were to repent and return (from your ways) and seek Forgiveness, Heazwj would Forgive you all and Turn towards you (Mercifully)’. So when heas said that to them they became more rebellious and treacherous than what they had been and said, ‘O Salehas! Let it come to us, what youas are calling for us, if youas are from the Messengersas, the truthful ones’. Heas said: ‘O people! When you wake up tomorrow morning your faces would be yellow, and on the second day your faces would be red, and on the third day your faces would be black’.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ أَصْبَحُوا وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُصْفَرَّةٌ فَمَشَى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَ قَالُوا قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ مَا قَالَ لَكُمْ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ الْعُتَاةُ مِنْهُمْ لَا نَسْمَعُ قَوْلَ صَالِحٍ وَ لَا نَقْبَلُ قَوْلَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَظِيماً فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّانِي أَصْبَحَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُحْمَرَّةً فَمَشَى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالُوا يَا قَوْمِ قَدْ جَاءَكُمْ مَا قَالَ لَكُمْ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ الْعُتَاةُ مِنْهُمْ لَوْ أُهْلِكْنَا جَمِيعاً مَا سَمِعْنَا قَوْلَ صَالِحٍ وَ لَا تَرَكْنَا آلِهَتَنَا الَّتِي كَانَ آبَاؤُنَا يَعْبُدُونَهَا وَ لَمْ يَتُوبُوا وَ لَمْ يَرْجِعُوا فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ أَصْبَحُوا وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُسْوَدَّةٌ فَمَشَى بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ وَ قَالُوا يَا قَوْمِ أَتَاكُمْ مَا قَالَ لَكُمْ صَالِحٌ فَقَالَ الْعُتَاةُ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ أَتَانَا مَا قَالَ لَنَا صَالِحٌ

So when it was the morning of the first day and their faces turned yellow, some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘There has come upon you what Salehas had spoken of’. So the rebellious ones among them said, ‘We will not listen to the words of Salehas and will not accept hisas words, even though they may be great’. So when it was the morning of the second day and their faces turned red, some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘O people! There has come upon you what Salehas had spoken about for you all’. So the rebellious ones among them said, ‘Even if we were all to be destroyed, we will not listen to the words of Salehas nor will we leave our gods which our forefathers had been worshipping, nor will we repent, nor will we return (from our ways)’. So when it was the morning of the third day and their faces turned black. So some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘O people! There has come upon you what Salehas had spoken of for you all’. So the rebellious ones from among them said, ‘Let it come upon us what Salehas had said to us’.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ نِصْفُ اللَّيْلِ أَتَاهُمْ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَصَرَخَ بِهِمْ صَرْخَةً خَرَقَتْ تِلْكَ الصَّرْخَةُ أَسْمَاعَهُمْ وَ فَلَقَتْ قُلُوبَهُمْ وَ صَدَعَتْ أَكْبَادَهُمْ وَ قَدْ كَانُوا فِي تِلْكَ الثَّلَاثَةِ الْأَيَّامِ قَدْ تَحَنَّطُوا وَ تَكَفَّنُوا وَ عَلِمُوا أَنَّ الْعَذَابَ نَازِلٌ بِهِمْ فَمَاتُوا أَجْمَعُونَ فِي طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ صَغِيرُهُمْ وَ كَبِيرُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ لَهُمْ نَاعِقَةٌ وَ لَا رَاغِيَةٌ وَ لَا شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلَّا أَهْلَكَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَصْبَحُوا فِي دِيَارِهِمْ وَ مَضَاجِعِهِمْ مَوْتَى أَجْمَعِينَ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مَعَ الصَّيْحَةِ النَّارَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَأَحْرَقَتْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ قِصَّتَهُمْ.

So when it was the middle of the night, Jibraeelas came upon them and screamed out a loud scream at them which broke their eardrums, and split their hearts, and ruptured their livers. And during those three days they had been applying camphor upon themselves, and shrouding themselves, and they knew that the Punishment would be descending upon them. So all of them died in the blink of an eye, their young ones as well as their old ones. There did not remain for them a she-camel, or a sheep, or anything except that Allahazwj Destroyed it. They had all died in their homes and on their beds. Then Allahazwj Sent upon them Fire along with the Scream from the sky. So it burnt all of them, and this was their story’.

Farwat narrated to me from Abu Ja’farasws. He said: ‘Remind me of something from the affairs of those two (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So heasws said: ‘They have hit you upon the blood of Usman for eighty years, and they very well know that he was an unjust one. O Farwat, so how would it be if Iasws mention to you their two idols (Abu Bakr and Umar)’.

H 14664 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Sudeyr who said:

We were in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws, so we mentioned what the people had done after their Prophetsaww, and their humiliating Amir-ul-Momineenasws. So a man from the people said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep you well, so where were the strong ones of the Clan of Hashimas and what was their number?’ So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And from those ones of the Clan of Hashimas that remained were Ja’faras and Hamzaas who had passed away (martyred), and there remained with them two men who were weak, disgraceful, new ones in the era of Al-Islam, Abbas and Aqeel who were from the freed ones. By Allahazwj! If Hamzaas and Ja’faras were present among them, they would not have achieved what they achieved. And had they seen themas two, they would not have damaged themselves’.

Heasws said to me: ‘And to what (direction) are they going with regards to that?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that it is the day of the blood’. Heasws said: ‘They are right. So it is more appropriate not to stir it in its day. But rather, know that during the day of Tuesday there is a particular time, if it coincides with it, his bleeding would not stop until he dies, or what Allahazwj so Desires’.

H 14677 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from his brother Al-A’la, from Ismail Bin Al-Hassan Al-Mutabbab who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘I am a man from the Arabs and I have medicine for vision, and my medicine is the Arabic medicine, and I do not take gifts for it’. Heasws said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘I let the wound bleed and burn it by the fire’. Heasws said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘And my prescription are these toxins ‘Al-Asmahiqoun’ and ‘Al-Ghariqoun’’. Heasws said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘Sometimes he (the patient) dies’. Heasws said: ‘Even if he dies’. I said, ‘My prescription to him (the patient) is ‘Al-Nabeez’ (Intoxicating drink)’. Heasws said: ‘There is no healing in the Prohibited (things). The Rasool Allahsaww had complained, so Ayesha said to himsaww, ‘Yousaww have pleurisy’. So hesaww said: ‘Isaww am more honourable to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj would involve mesaww with the pleurisy’. So hesaww ( said you should have observe) patient’.

H 14678 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘The man drinks the medicine, and cuts the vein, and perhaps it benefits him and perhaps it kills him’. Heasws said: ‘He can cut and he can drink’.

H 14679 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Al-Hakam Bin Makeyn, from Hamza Bin Al-Tayyaar who said:

I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan the Firstasws. Heasws saw me groaning (with pain). So heasws said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ I said, ‘My molar (toothache)’. So heasws said: ‘If only you had cupping done’. So I got cupping done and it settled down. I informed himasws of it’. So heasws said to me: ‘There is no better cure for the people than the sucking out of the blood and a certain amount of honey’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, what is a certain amount of honey?’ Heasws said: ‘A lick of honey’.

H 14680 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Saleh, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al-Ja’fary who said:

I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws saying: ‘To cure the toothache, take colocynth (a bitter fruit), peel it, then extracts its oil. So if the tooth has a cavity, apply the drops by cotton, place it inside the cavity and lie down upon the back. He should do this for three nights. And if the tooth does not have a cavity to it and it has a smell to it, apply the drops in each side of that tooth during the night. Every night two or three drops. He would be free (cured) by the Permission of Allahazwj’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard himasws saying: ‘For the pain in the mouth and the blood which comes out from the teeth, and the ulcers and the redness which takes place in the mouth, take damp colocynth which has turned yellow, place it in a pot of clay, pierce its head and enter a knife inside it. Then gently rub its sides, then pour over it dates and vinegar, and it would be intensely bitter. Then place it upon the fire and boil it intensely. Then take from it all that can be carried by his finger, rub it in his mouth, and gargle with the vinegar. If he likes he can transfer what is in the colocynth into a bottle or bowl. And when all that becomes less, he can refill it with vinegar, and he would be free from all that, Allahazwj Willing’.

H 14681 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Al-Hassan Bin Asbaat, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Sayaabat who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, the people are saying that it is not permissible to study the stars, and this has surprised me. So if it is harmful for my Religion, so there is no need for me to do anything which harms my Religion, and if it is not harmful to my Religion, by Allahazwj I love it and it is my desire to study it’. So heasws said: ‘This is not as they are saying it to be. It does not harm your Religion’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَنْظُرُونَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهَا كَثِيرُهُ لَا يُدْرَكُ وَ قَلِيلُهُ لَا يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ تَحْسُبُونَ عَلَى طَالِعِ الْقَمَرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرِي كَمْ بَيْنَ الْمُشْتَرِي وَ الزُّهَرَةِ مِنْ دَقِيقَةٍ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَ فَتَدْرِي كَمْ بَيْنَ الزُّهَرَةِ وَ بَيْنَ الْقَمَرِ مِنْ دَقِيقَةٍ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ أَ فَتَدْرِي كَمْ بَيْنَ الشَّمْسِ وَ بَيْنَ السُّنْبُلَةِ مِنْ دَقِيقَةٍ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُنَجِّمِينَ قَطُّ قَالَ أَ فَتَدْرِي كَمْ بَيْنَ السُّنْبُلَةِ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوظِ مِنْ دَقِيقَةٍ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ مُنَجِّمٍ قَطُّ قَالَ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ سِتُّونَ أَوْ سَبْعُونَ دَقِيقَةً

Then heasws said; ‘You are studying something, a lot of which you are unaware of, and a small amount of it is not beneficial. You are calculating the rise of the Moon’. Then heasws said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between Jupiter and Venus?’ I said, ‘No, by Allahazwj’. Heasws said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between the Venus and the Moon?’ I said, ‘No’. Heasws said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between the Sun and the Virgo?’ I said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, I have not heard from any one from the astrologers at all’. Heasws said: ‘What is in between each one of these at its counterpart are sixty or seventy minutes’.

[شَكَّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ] ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ هَذَا حِسَابٌ إِذَا حَسَبَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ عَرَفَ الْقَصَبَةَ الَّتِي فِي وَسَطِ الْأَجَمَةِ وَ عَدَدَ مَا عَنْ يَمِينِهَا وَ عَدَدَ مَا عَنْ يَسَارِهَا وَ عَدَدَ مَا خَلْفَهَا وَ عَدَدَ مَا أَمَامَهَا حَتَّى لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنْ قَصَبِ الْأَجَمَةِ وَاحِدَةٌ.

Abdul Rahmaan expressed his doubt. Then heasws said: ‘O Abdul Rahmaan, this is a calculation, which if the man calculates, he would come to know the reed in the middle of the bush, and the number (of reeds) which are on the right of it and the number (of reeds) which are on the left of it, and the number (of reeds) which are behind it, and the number (of reeds) which are in front of it, to the extent that there would not remain hidden from him a single reed from the bush’.

H 15682 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, who said, ‘we have been informed by Al-Nazar bin Qarwaash Al-Jammaal who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the camels who have scabies whether I should keep my camel away from these fearing it might get infected by the scabies, and the animals might have got it until it drank the water’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ أَعْرَابِيّاً أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُصِيبُ الشَّاةَ وَ الْبَقَرَةَ وَ النَّاقَةَ بِالثَّمَنِ الْيَسِيرِ وَ بِهَا جَرَبٌ فَأَكْرَهُ شِرَاءَهَا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُعْدِيَ ذَلِكَ الْجَرَبُ إِبِلِي وَ غَنَمِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ فَمَنْ أَعْدَى الْأَوَّلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَا عَدْوَى وَ لَا طِيَرَةَ وَ لَا هَامَةَ وَ لَا شُؤْمَ وَ لَا صَفَرَ وَ لَا رَضَاعَ بَعْدَ فِصَالٍ وَ لَا تَعَرُّبَ بَعْدَ هِجْرَةٍ وَ لَا صَمْتَ يَوْماً إِلَى اللَّيْلِ وَ لَا طَلَاقَ قَبْلَ النِّكَاحِ وَ لَا عِتْقَ قَبْلَ مِلْكٍ وَ لَا يُتْمَ بَعْدَ إِدْرَاكٍ.

So Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘A Bedouin came up to the Rasool Allahsaww. He said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, I come across injured sheep, cows, and the camels sold at a cheap price, but they have scabies. I dislike buying these fearing that they may infect my camels and my sheep with that scabies’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘O Bedouin! So who infected the first (infected) one?’ Then the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘There is neither infection, nor bad omen, nor ghost, nor bad luck, nor ‘Safra’, nor breastfeeding after weaning, nor being a Bedouin after Migration (Hijra), nor Fasting of silence for a day to the night, nor divorce before the marriage, nor emancipation before slavery, nor being an orphan after achieving adulthood’.

H 15683 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira, from Amro Bin Hureys who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The omen is upon what you make it to be. If you take it lightly, it would be light, if you take it seriously it would be intense, and if you do not make anything of it, it would not be anything’.

15684- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) كَفَّارَةُ الطِّيَرَةِ التَّوَكُّلُ.

H 15684 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nawfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws says that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The expiration of the omen is the reliance (upon Allahazwj)’.

H 15685 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed and someone else, from some of them, who have narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws, and some of them from Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[2:243] Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die; again He gave them life”. These were city folk from the cities of Syria, and there were seventy thousand households and plague used to occur among them every time. So whenever they sensed it, the rich ones would exit the city due to their (financial) strength and the poor would remain due to their (financial) weakness. So the death occurred mostly among those who would remain and less among those who went out. So those who left said, ‘Had we been of those who remained, death would frequent among us’. And those who remained said, ‘Had we been of those who went out, death would be less among us’.

قَالَ فَاجْتَمَعَ رَأْيُهُمْ جَمِيعاً أَنَّهُ إِذَا وَقَعَ الطَّاعُونُ فِيهِمْ وَ أَحَسُّوا بِهِ خَرَجُوا كُلُّهُمْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمَّا أَحَسُّوا بِالطَّاعُونِ خَرَجُوا جَمِيعاً وَ تَنَحَّوْا عَنِ الطَّاعُونِ حَذَرَ الْمَوْتِ فَسَارُوا فِي الْبِلَادِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ مَرُّوا بِمَدِينَةٍ خَرِبَةٍ قَدْ جَلَا أَهْلُهَا عَنْهَا وَ أَفْنَاهُمُ الطَّاعُونُ فَنَزَلُوا بِهَا فَلَمَّا حَطُّوا رِحَالَهُمْ وَ اطْمَأَنُّوا بِهَا قَالَ لَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُوتُوا جَمِيعاً فَمَاتُوا مِنْ سَاعَتِهِمْ وَ صَارُوا رَمِيماً يَلُوحُ وَ كَانُوا عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْمَارَّةِ فَكَنَسَتْهُمُ الْمَارَّةُ فَنَحَّوْهُمْ وَ جَمَعُوهُمْ فِي مَوْضِعٍ

Heasws said: ‘So they formed a consensus of their opinions that whenever they sense the plague occurring among them, all of them would go out from the city. So when they sensed the plague affecting them, all of them went out and took precaution against the death. So they travelled in the countryside for as long as Allahazwj so Desired. Then they passed by a city which was in ruins and its inhabitants had all left, being destroyed by the plague. So they encamped there, and settled their belongings being reassured by it. Allahazwj Said to them: “All of you die!” They all died at that instant and became decayed. The passers-by passed by and collected their ashes and gathered them in one place.

فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ نَبِيٌّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يُقَالُ لَهُ حِزْقِيلُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى تِلْكَ الْعِظَامَ بَكَى وَ اسْتَعْبَرَ وَ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَأَحْيَيْتَهُمُ السَّاعَةَ كَمَا أَمَتَّهُمْ فَعَمَرُوا بِلَادَكَ وَ وَلَدُوا عِبَادَكَ وَ عَبَدُوكَ مَعَ مَنْ يَعْبُدُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَ فَتُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ فَأَحْيِهِمْ قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ قُلْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ الَّذِي أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَقُولَهُ

So a Prophetas from the Prophetsas of the Children of Israel passed by them, whoseas name was Hizkeelas. So when heas saw those bones, heas wept and reflected upon it and said: ‘O Lordazwj! If Youazwj so Wish, Youazwj can Revive them instantly, just as Youazwj Caused them to die, so they would then inhabit Yourazwj Country, and bear Yourazwj servants who would worship Youazwj along with those from Yourazwj creatures who worship Youazwj’. So Allahazwj the High Revealed unto himas: “Is that what you as would like to happen?’ Heas said: ‘Yes, O Lordazwj! Revive them”. So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas; “Say such and such”. So heas said that which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic had Commanded himas to say’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ الِاسْمُ الْأَعْظَمُ فَلَمَّا قَالَ حِزْقِيلُ ذَلِكَ الْكَلَامَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْعِظَامِ يَطِيرُ بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَعَادُوا أَحْيَاءً يَنْظُرُ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلَى بَعْضٍ يُسَبِّحُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ يُكَبِّرُونَهُ وَ يُهَلِّلُونَهُ فَقَالَ حِزْقِيلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘And it was the Great Name (Al-Ism Al-Aazam). So when Hizkeelas said that Word, heas saw the bones flying towards each other. So they came back alive. Some of them looked at the others Glorifying Allahazwj and Exclaiming Hisazwj Greatness and Extolling Hisazwj Holiness. So Hizkeelas said during that: ‘Ias hereby testify that Allahazwj has Power over all things’.

قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ.

Umar Bin Yazeed (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding them’.

14686- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ يَعْقُوبَ (عليه السلام) لِبَنِيهِ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِنْ يُوسُفَ وَ أَخِيهِ أَ كَانَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ حَيٌّ وَ قَدْ فَارَقَهُ مُنْذُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ عَلِمَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ دَعَا فِي السَّحَرِ وَ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَهْبِطَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَهَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ بريالُ وَ هُوَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ بريالُ مَا حَاجَتُكَ يَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْأَرْوَاحِ تَقْبِضُهَا مُجْتَمِعَةً أَوْ مُتَفَرِّقَةً قَالَ بَلْ أَقْبِضُهَا مُتَفَرِّقَةً رُوحاً رُوحاً قَالَ لَهُ فَأَخْبِرْنِي هَلْ مَرَّ بِكَ رُوحُ يُوسُفَ فِيمَا مَرَّ بِكَ قَالَ لَا فَعَلِمَ يَعْقُوبُ أَنَّهُ حَيٌّ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِوُلْدِهِ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِنْ يُوسُفَ وَ أَخِيهِ.

H 14686 – Ibn Mahboub, from hanaan Bin Sudeyr, who has said:

I said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘Inform me about the words of Yaqoubas to hisas sons: “[12:87] O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother”, Did heas know that heas was alive, and there was a separation of twenty years between them?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘How did heas know?’ Heasws said: ‘Heas supplicated before dawn and asked Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that heazwj should Send down to himas the Angel of Death. So Biryaal descended unto himas, and he is the Angel of Death. So Biryaal said to himas: ‘What is youras need, O Yaqoubas?’ Heas said: ‘Inform me about the souls. Do you capture them altogether or separately?’ He said, ‘But, I capture them separately, soul by soul’. Heas said to him: ‘So inform me, Did you come across the soul of Yusufas in what you have passed by?’ He said: ‘No’. Thus Yaqoubas came to know that heas was alive. So, due to that heas said “[12:87] O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother”.

H 14687 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Khalid Bin Yazeed Al-Qummy, from some of his companions, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and majestic: “[5:71] And they thought that there would be no affliction”, heasws said: ‘This was when the Rasool Allahsaww was present among them. So they became blind and deaf when the Rasool Allahsaww passed away. Then Allahazwj Turned (Mercifully) towards them when Heazwj Established Amir-ul-Momineenasws. Then they became blind and deaf this time as well’.

14688- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ عَلى لِسانِ داوُدَ وَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ قَالَ الْخَنَازِيرُ عَلَى لِسَانَ دَاوُدَ وَ الْقِرَدَةُ عَلَى لِسَانَ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ (عليهما السلام).

H 14688 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ab, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Haza’a, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[5:78] Those who disbelieved from among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son of Marium”. Heasws said: ‘The pigs, by the tongue of Dawoodas, and the monkeys, by the tongue of Isa Bin Maryamas’.

14689- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَإِنَّهُمْ لا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ وَ لكِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ يَجْحَدُونَ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَذَّبُوهُ أَشَدَّ التَّكْذِيبِ وَ لَكِنَّهَا مُخَفَّفَةٌ لا يُكَذِّبُونَكَ لَا يَأْتُونَ بِبَاطِلٍ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِهِ حَقَّكَ.

H 14689 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-nazar Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, from Umraan Bin Maysam, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘A man recited to Amir-ul-Momineenasws (the following Verse) “[6:33] We know indeed that what they say certainly grieves you, but surely they do not call you a liar; but the unjust deny the communications of Allah”. Heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, they had denied himsaww with an intense denial, but it was hidden. (The meaning of) “but surely they do not call you a liar” is that ‘they would not be able to come up with the refutation in order to belie yoursaww truth’’.

14690- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عليهما السلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً أَوْ قالَ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَ لَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي ابْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ الَّذِي كَانَ عُثْمَانُ اسْتَعْمَلَهُ عَلَى مِصْرَ وَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ هَدَرَ دَمَهُ وَ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَإِذَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ كَتَبَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) دَعْهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ وَ كَانَ ابْنُ أَبِي سَرْحٍ يَقُولُ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنِّي لَأَقُولُ مِنْ نَفْسِي مِثْلَ مَا يَجِي‏ءُ بِهِ فَمَا يُغَيِّرُ عَلَيَّ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِيهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ.

H 14690 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Ibn Muskaan, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

One of the Imamsasws said when heasws was asked about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[6:93] And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says: It has been revealed to me; while nothing has been revealed to him”. Heasws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding Ibn Abu Sarh who was the office bearer of Usman over Egypt, and he was from the ones who were with the Rasool Allahsaww on the Day of the conquest over Mecca whose blood was spared. And he used to write to the Rasool Allahsaww. So if Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed that: “Surely Allahazwj is Most Mighty, Most Wise”. He would write, ‘Surely Allahazwj is Most Aware, Most Wise’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘Leave it, although Allahazwj is surely Most Aware, Most Wise’. So Ibn Abu Sarh used to say to the hypocrites, ‘I am saying from myself similar to what hesaww has come up with, so hesaww does not let me alter it’. So Allahazwj Blessed and High Revealed regarding him what Heazwj Revealed’.

14691- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَ يَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ فَقَالَ لَمْ يَجِئْ تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ بَعْدُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) رَخَّصَ لَهُمْ لِحَاجَتِهِ وَ حَاجَةِ أَصْحَابِهِ فَلَوْ قَدْ جَاءَ تَأْوِيلُهَا لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُمْ لَكِنَّهُمْ يُقْتَلُونَ حَتَّى يُوَحَّدَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ شِرْكٌ.

H 14691 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Uneyr Bin Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

I said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘The Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[8:39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah”, So heasws said: ‘The case to which this Verse applies has not come yet.  The Rasool Allahsaww allowed them (the non-Muslims) for hissaww need and the needs of hissaww companions. Had there come the case of its implementation, hesaww would not have accepted from them, but they would not spare their lives until they would have accepted the Oneness of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and until they would not have remained any Polytheism (Shirk)’.

14692- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِمَنْ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنَ الْأَسْرى إِنْ يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْراً يُؤْتِكُمْ خَيْراً مِمَّا أُخِذَ مِنْكُمْ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْعَبَّاسِ وَ عَقِيلٍ وَ نَوْفَلٍ

H 14692 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws, said, ‘I heard himasws saying regarding this Verse: “[8:70] O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you”, heasws said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Al-Abbas, and Aqeel, and Naufal’.

وَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) نَهَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ أَبُو الْبَخْتَرِيِّ فَأُسِرُوا فَأَرْسَلَ عَلِيّاً ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ انْظُرْ مَنْ هَاهُنَا مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ قَالَ فَمَرَّ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) عَلَى عَقِيلِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ فَحَادَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَقِيلٌ يَا ابْنَ أُمِّ عَلَيَّ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتَ مَكَانِي قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ قَالَ هَذَا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ فِي يَدِ فُلَانٍ وَ هَذَا عَقِيلٌ فِي يَدِ فُلَانٍ وَ هَذَا نَوْفَلُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ فِي يَدِ فُلَانٍ

And heasws said that: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww prohibited the killing of anyone from the Clan of Hashimas and Abu Al-Bakhtary on the Day of Badr. So they were made captives. The Rasool Allahsaww sent for Aliasws and said: ‘Go and see over there, who are the ones from the Clan of Hashimas’. So Aliasws passed by Aqeel son of Abu Talibas, may Allahazwj Honour hisas face. Heasws turned away from him. So Aqeel said to himasws, ‘O sonasws of my motheras Aliasws! But, by Allahazwj, youasws can see my situation’. Heasws returned to the Rasool Allahsaww and said: ‘This is Abu Al-Fazl in the hand of so and so, and this is Aqeel in the hand of so and so, and this is Naufal Bin Al-Haris in the hand of so and so’.

فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى عَقِيلٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا يَزِيدَ قُتِلَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ فَقَالَ إِذاً لَا تُنَازَعُونَ فِي تِهَامَةَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ أَثْخَنْتُمُ الْقَوْمَ وَ إِلَّا فَارْكَبُوا أَكْتَافَهُمْ فَقَالَ فَجِي‏ءَ بِالْعَبَّاسِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ افْدِ نَفْسَكَ وَ افْدِ ابْنَ أَخِيكَ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ تَتْرُكُنِي أَسْأَلُ قُرَيْشاً فِي كَفِّي فَقَالَ أَعْطِ مِمَّا خَلَّفْتَ عِنْدَ أُمِّ الْفَضْلِ وَ قُلْتَ لَهَا إِنْ أَصَابَنِي فِي وَجْهِي هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَنْفِقِيهِ عَلَى وُلْدِكِ وَ نَفْسِكِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ أَتَانِي بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ وَ مَحْلُوفِهِ مَا عَلِمَ بِهَذَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَنَا وَ هِيَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

So the Rasool Allahsaww stood up and came up to Aqeel and said to him: ‘O Abu Yazeed, Abu Jahl has been killed’. He said, ‘Then yousaww will not be disputing about Tahaamat’. Hesaww said: ‘If you are strong people, otherwise tie up their hands’. They came up with Al-Abbas, so hesaww said: ‘Ransom yourself and ransom the son of your brother’. He said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Let me go and ask the Qureish for ransoming me’. Hesaww said: ‘Give from what you have left behind with Umm Al-Fazl and said to her that, ‘If this I face this difficulty, so spend upon your children and on yourself’. So he said to himsaww: ‘O sonsaww of my brotheras, who informed yousaww of this?’ Hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas came with it to mesaww from the Presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. So he said, ‘And I had held her on oath that no one would know of this except for myself and her. I hereby testify that yousaww are the Rasool Allahsaww’.

قَالَ فَرَجَعَ الْأَسْرَى كُلُّهُمْ مُشْرِكِينَ إِلَّا الْعَبَّاسُ وَ عَقِيلٌ وَ نَوْفَلٌ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَ فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ قُلْ لِمَنْ فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ مِنَ الْأَسْرى إِنْ يَعْلَمِ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ خَيْراً إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.

Heasws said; ‘All the captives returned as Polytheists except for Al-Abbas, and Aqeel, and Naufal, may Allahazwj Honour their faces, and it was regarding them that this Verse was Revealed: “[8:70] O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you” up to the end of the Verse’.

14693- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عليهما السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ نَزَلَتْ فِي حَمْزَةَ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ شَيْبَةَ إِنَّهُمْ فَخَرُوا بِالسِّقَايَةِ وَ الْحِجَابَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ وَ حَمْزَةُ وَ جَعْفَرٌ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ جَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ.

H 14693 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwaan Bin yahya, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

One of themasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”. Heasws said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Hamzaas, and Aliasws, and Ja’faras, and Al-Abbasas, and Shaeba. They prided themselves for quenching (the thirst) of the Pilgrims. So Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty Revealed “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”, and it was Aliasws, and Hamzaas, and Ja’faras, may greeting be upon themas are the ones whoas believed in Allahazwj and the Last Day, and theyas fought in the Way of Allahazwj, and (others) are not equal to themas in the Presence of Allahazwj’.

H 14694 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from hashaam Bin Saalim, from Ammaar Al-saabaty who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj the High: “[39:8] And when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his Lord turning to Him frequently”, heasws said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Abu Al-Faseyl, who used to consider the Rasool Allahsaww as a sorcerer. And when distress afflicted him, meaning illness, he would call upon his Lordazwj, turning to Himazwj frequently, meaning penitently to Himazwj, from what he used to say with regards to the Rasool Allahsaww. “then when He makes him possess a favour from Him,” meaning the restoration of health, “he forgets that for which he called upon Him before,” meaning his asking for Forgiveness to Allahazwj from what he used to say regarding the Rasool Allahsaww that hesaww was a sorcerer, and that is the Statement of Allahazwj mighty and Majestic “Say: Enjoy yourself in your ungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates of the fire”, meaning your influence which you have over the people with any right from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic or from Hisazwj Messengersaww’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) ثُمَّ عَطَفَ الْقَوْلَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) يُخْبِرُ بِحَالِهِ وَ فَضْلِهِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ أَمَّنْ هُوَ قانِتٌ آناءَ اللَّيْلِ ساجِداً وَ قائِماً يَحْذَرُ الْآخِرَةَ وَ يَرْجُوا رَحْمَةَ رَبِّهِ قُلْ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ أَنْ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّهُ سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) هَذَا تَأْوِيلُهُ يَا عَمَّارُ .

He (the narrator) said: ‘Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Spoke Sympathetically with regards to Aliasws Informing himasws of hisasws situation, and hisasws merits in the Presence of Allahazwj Blessed and High. So Heazwj Said: “[39:9] What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know that Muhammad is the Rasool Allahsaww, and those who do not know (saying) that Muhammadsaww is a lying sorcerer alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful”. Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘This is its explanation, O Ammar’.

14695- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ تَلَوْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) ذَوا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ فَقَالَ ذُو عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ هَذَا مِمَّا أَخْطَأَتْ فِيهِ الْكُتَّابُ.

H 14695 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammaad Bin Usmaan who said:

I recited: “[5:95] as two just persons among you shall judge” in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, so heasws said: ‘Two just ones among you – this is from what the scribes have erred with regards to it’ (referring to the compilation mistakes in the Holy Quran - Tahreef in Quran).

14696- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لا تَسْئَلُوا عَنْ أَشْياءَ لَمْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ.

H 14696 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from a man, who has narrated:

Abu Ja’farasws (has explained this verse) about “[5:101] O you who believe! do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you”

14697- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ تَلَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُ رَبِّكَ الْحُسْنَى صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّمَا نَقْرَؤُهَا وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا الْحُسْنَى.

H 14697 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid Al-Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muhammad bin Marwaan who said:

Abu Abdullahasws recited: “[6:115] And the ‘beautiful’ word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly”. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, but rather we are reciting it as “[6:115] And the word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly”. So heasws said: ‘Surely, in it is ‘the beautiful’’ (referring to the Tahreef in the Holy Quran).

14698- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَصَمِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْبَطَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى وَ قَضَيْنا إِلى بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ فِي الْكِتابِ لَتُفْسِدُنَّ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ قَتْلُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) وَ طَعْنُ الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) وَ لَتَعْلُنَّ عُلُوًّا كَبِيراً قَالَ قَتْلُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام)

H 14698 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shammoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahmaan Al-A’asam, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim Al-Batl, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement: “[17:4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice”, heasws said: ‘The killing of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the stabbing of Al-Hassanasws’. “and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence”, heasws said (this refers to): ‘The killing of Al-Husaynasws’.

فَإِذا جاءَ وَعْدُ أُولاهُما فَإِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ دَمِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) بَعَثْنا عَلَيْكُمْ عِباداً لَنا أُولِي بَأْسٍ شَدِيدٍ فَجاسُوا خِلالَ الدِّيارِ قَوْمٌ يَبْعَثُهُمُ اللَّهُ قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) فَلَا يَدَعُونَ وَتْراً لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَّا قَتَلُوهُ وَ كانَ وَعْداً مَفْعُولًا خُرُوجُ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام)

“[17:5] So when the promise for the first of the two came, So when the help comes for the blood of Al-Husaynasws, We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they go to and fro among the houses, a people whom Allahazwj will be Sending before the coming out of Al-Qaimajfj (who will serve himajfj and under hisajfj command) they will not leave an enemy of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww except that they will kill him. and it was a promise to be accomplished” This is the coming of Al-Qaimasws.

ثُمَّ رَدَدْنا لَكُمُ الْكَرَّةَ عَلَيْهِمْ خُرُوجُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) فِي سَبْعِينَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَيْضُ الْمُذَهَّبُ لِكُلِّ بَيْضَةٍ وَجْهَانِ الْمُؤَدُّونَ إِلَى النَّاسِ أَنَّ هَذَا الْحُسَيْنَ قَدْ خَرَجَ حَتَّى لَا يَشُكَّ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فِيهِ وَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِدَجَّالٍ وَ لَا شَيْطَانٍ وَ الْحُجَّةُ الْقَائِمُ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ فَإِذَا اسْتَقَرَّتِ الْمَعْرِفَةُ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَّهُ الْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام) جَاءَ الْحُجَّةَ الْمَوْتُ فَيَكُونُ الَّذِي يُغَسِّلُهُ وَ يُكَفِّنُهُ وَ يُحَنِّطُهُ وَ يَلْحَدُهُ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ لَا يَلِي الْوَصِيَّ إِلَّا الْوَصِيُّ.

“[17:6] Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, This is the coming of Al-Husaynasws and seventy of hisasws companions who will be wearing protective helmets. For each of the helmets would be two facets to demonstrate to the people that this is indeed Al-Husaynasws who has come out, until the Believers would have no doubts about it, and that heasws is neither Al-Dajjaalla, nor Satanla, and Al-Hujjat Al-Qaimasws would also come in their support. So when the recognition would be settled in the hearts of the Believers that heasws is indeed Al-Husaynasws, the death will approach Al-Hujjatasws. So the oneasws who would be washing himasws, and shrouding himasws, and embalming himasws, and burying himasws in hisasws grave would be Al-Husayn Bin Aliasws, no one follows the successorasws except for the successorasws’.

14699- سَهْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ التَّمِيمِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْخَثْعَمِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ لَمَّا سَيَّرَ عُثْمَانُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ شَيَّعَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ عَقِيلٌ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ (عليهما السلام) وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ عِنْدَ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ إِنَّمَا غَضِبْتَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَارْجُ مَنْ غَضِبْتَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ خَافُوكَ عَلَى دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ خِفْتَهُمْ عَلَى دِينِكَ فَأَرْحَلُوكَ عَنِ الْفِنَاءِ وَ امْتَحَنُوكَ بِالْبَلَاءِ وَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ رَتْقاً ثُمَّ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ لَهُ مِنْهَا مَخْرَجاً فَلَا يُؤْنِسْكَ إِلَّا الْحَقُّ وَ لَا يُوحِشْكَ إِلَّا الْبَاطِلُ

H 14699 – Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Hafs Al-Tamimy who said:

Abu Ja’far Al-Khash’amy narrated to me saying, ‘When Usman exiled Abu Dharrar to Al-Rabza, Amir-ul-Momineenasws, and Aqeelas, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and Ammar Bin Yasirar bid farewell to himar. So when they were inside the valley, Amir-ul-Momineenasws said; ‘O Abu Dharrar! Youar were angry for the Sake of Allahazwj, so have hope from Hisazwj Anger. The people feared you for their world whilst youar feared upon yourar Religion, so they exiled youar from (that which is) doomed and tested youar by the affliction. And, by Allahazwj, if the skies and the earth are (forced) to closed-up on a servant, then Allahazwj would (surely) Open up a way out for him. Let nothing comfort youar except for the truth, and let nothing scare youar except for the falsehood’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عَقِيلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّا نُحِبُّكَ وَ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ تُحِبُّنَا وَ أَنْتَ قَدْ حَفِظْتَ فِينَا مَا ضَيَّعَ النَّاسُ إِلَّا الْقَلِيلَ فَثَوَابُكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لِذَلِكَ أَخْرَجَكَ الْمُخْرِجُونَ وَ سَيَّرَكَ الْمُسَيِّرُونَ فَثَوَابُكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اسْتِعْفَاءَكَ الْبَلَاءَ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ وَ اسْتِبْطَاءَكَ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنَ الْيَأْسِ فَدَعِ الْيَأْسَ وَ الْجَزَعَ وَ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ

Then Aqeelar spoke saying, ‘O Abu Dharrar! Youar know that we love youar, and we know that youar love us, and youar have preserved with regards to us what the people have wasted except for a few. So yourar Reward is upon Allahazwj, and it is for that that they have thrown youar out as the castaway and made youar travel in the exile. So yourar Reward is upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. So fear Allahazwj and know that youar should resign to the affliction from the anxiety and yourar deterioration of the health from the despair. So leave the resignation and the despair and say, ‘Allahazwj is Sufficient for mear and the best ‘الْوَكِيلُ’ advocate’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ الْحَسَنُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا عَمَّاهْ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ أَتَوْا إِلَيْكَ مَا قَدْ تَرَى وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى فَدَعْ عَنْكَ ذِكْرَ الدُّنْيَا بِذِكْرِ فِرَاقِهَا وَ شِدَّةِ مَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْكَ لِرَخَاءِ مَا بَعْدَهَا وَ اصْبِرْ حَتَّى تَلْقَى نَبِيَّكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ هُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Then Al-Hassanasws spoke saying: ‘O unclear! The people have meted out to youar what youar have seen, and Allahazwj is Watching from High above. So leave the memories of the world by remembrance of its separation and the difficulties, by what will be coming to youar of the ease after it, and be patient until youar meet yourar Prophetsaww, and hesaww will be pleased with youar, Allahazwj Willing’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ الْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا عَمَّاهْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ مَا تَرَى وَ هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ مَنَعُوكَ دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ مَنَعْتَهُمْ دِينَكَ فَمَا أَغْنَاكَ عَمَّا مَنَعُوكَ وَ مَا أَحْوَجَهُمْ إِلَى مَا مَنَعْتَهُمْ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالصَّبْرِ فَإِنَّ الْخَيْرَ فِي الصَّبْرِ وَ الصَّبْرَ مِنَ الْكَرَمِ وَ دَعِ الْجَزَعَ فَإِنَّ الْجَزَعَ لَا يُغْنِيكَ

Then Al-Husaynasws spoke saying: ‘O unclear! Allahazwj Blessed and High has the Power to Change what youar see, and every day Heazwj is in (a State of) Glory. The people have denied youar their world, and youar have denied them yourar Religion. So what is yourar need from what they have denied youar, and they are in greatest need for what youar have denied them. So it is for youar to observe patience, for the goodness is in the patience, and the patience is from the generosity. And leave the anxiety, for the anxiety provides no refuge’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عَمَّارٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَوْحَشَ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَوْحَشَكَ وَ أَخَافَ مَنْ أَخَافَكَ إِنَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا الْحَقَّ إِلَّا الرُّكُونُ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ الْحُبُّ لَهَا أَلَا إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَ الْمُلْكُ لِمَنْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمَ دَعَوُا النَّاسَ إِلَى دُنْيَاهُمْ فَأَجَابُوهُمْ إِلَيْهَا وَ وَهَبُوا لَهُمْ دِينَهُمْ فَخَسِرُوا الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةَ وَ ذَلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرَانُ الْمُبِينُ

Then Ammarar spoke saying, ‘O Abu Dharrar! May Allahazwj Make lonely the one who made youar to be lonely, and Frighten the one who (tried to) frightened youar. By Allahazwj! Nothing prevents the people from speaking the truth except their reliance upon the world and the love for it. But rather, the obedience is with the group and the kingdom is for the one who overcomes it, and this group of people have called the people to their world, so they responded to them for it and bestowed their Religion upon them. Thus, they incurred the loss of the world and the Hereafter, and that is what is the clear loss’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي هَذِهِ الْوُجُوهُ فَإِنِّي إِذَا رَأَيْتُكُمْ ذَكَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِكُمْ وَ مَا لِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ شَجَنٌ لِأَسْكُنَ غَيْرُكُمْ وَ إِنَّهُ ثَقُلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ جِوَارِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا ثَقُلَ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّامِ فَآلَى أَنْ يُسَيِّرَنِي إِلَى بَلْدَةٍ فَطَلَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَزَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يَخَافُ أَنْ أُفْسِدَ عَلَى أَخِيهِ النَّاسَ بِالْكُوفَةِ وَ آلَى بِاللَّهِ لَيُسَيِّرُنِي إِلَى بَلْدَةٍ لَا أَرَى فِيهَا أَنِيساً وَ لَا أَسْمَعُ بِهَا حَسِيساً وَ إِنِّي وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُرِيدُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ صَاحِباً وَ مَا لِي مَعَ اللَّهِ وَحْشَةٌ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ.

Then Abu Dharrar spoke saying, ‘Peace be upon you all, and the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings! May myar father and myar mother (be sacrificed for you all). These are the faces, when Iar see them, Iar remember the Rasool Allahsaww. And what is there for mear in Al-Medina to dwell in apart from you. And it became heavy upon Usman to let mear (live) in the neighbourhood of Al-Medina just as it became heavy upon Muawiya in Syria. He (Usman) decided that he would exile mear to a town, so Iar said it should be Al-Kufa. So he feared that Iar would spoil the relationship of his brother with the people in Al-Kufa. By Allahazwj He is sending mear to a place in which Iar will neither see any human being nor hear a humming sound. By Allahazwj! Iar do not want anyone except Allahazwj as a companion, and what is the loneliness for mear when Allahazwj is with mear. Allahazwj is Sufficient for mear. There is no god except for Himazwj. Upon Himazwj do Iar rely and Heazwj is the Lordazwj of the Magnificent Throne, and greetings of Allahazwj be upon our Chief Muhammadsaww and hissaww purified Progenyasws’.

H 14700 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Ibn Fazzaal and Al-Hajjaal, from Sa’albat, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Muslama Al-Jariry who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws: ‘They reproach us and belie us that we are saying that the two ‘announcements’ which are to occur. They are saying, ‘How would we differentiate between the true one from the false one, if we were to be there?’ Heasws said: ‘So what do you respond to them with?’ I said, ‘We do not respond to them with anything’. Heasws said: ‘Say to them, ‘Those who believed in it from before (have faith) would recognise it. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says: “[10:35] Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided? What then is the matter with you; how do you judge?”

14701- عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ وَ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ قَالَ سَمِعَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعِجْلِيَّةِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَوْلَهُ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ أَلَا إِنَّ فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ وَ شِيعَتَهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ وَ يُنَادِي آخِرَ النَّهَارِ أَلَا إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ وَ شِيعَتَهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ قَالَ وَ يُنَادِي أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ مُنَادَى آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَمَا يُدْرِينَا أَيُّمَا الصَّادِقُ مِنَ الْكَاذِبَ فَقَالَ يُصَدِّقُهُ عَلَيْهَا مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ أَ فَمَنْ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُتَّبَعَ أَمَّنْ لا يَهِدِّي إِلَّا أَنْ يُهْدى الْآيَةَ.

H 14701 – From him, from Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal and Al-hajjaal, from Dawood Bin Farqad who said:

A man from Ajaliyya heard this Hadeeth – A caller will call out: ‘So and so son of so and so and his Shites are the successful ones’ at the beginning of the day, and another one will call out at the end of the day: ‘Usman and his Shites are the successful ones’. Heasws said: ‘And the caller at the beginning of the day and (another) calling at the end of the day’. So the man said, ‘So what would make us understand which one is the truthful from the liar?’ So heasws said: ‘The one who would believe in it before the call, would be ratifying it. Allahazwj Says: “[10:35] Is He then Who guides to the truth more worthy to be followed, or he who himself does not go aright unless he is guided?” The verse.

14702- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَا تَرَوْنَ مَا تُحِبُّونَ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِفَ بَنُو فُلَانٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَإِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا طَمِعَ النَّاسُ وَ تَفَرَّقَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ خَرَجَ السُّفْيَانِيُّ.

H 14702 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘You will not be seeing what you would love to (appearance of Al-Qaimasws) until the Clan of so and so (Clan of Abbas) differing in what is between them. So when they differ, the people would become greedy and the words would be separated, and Al-Sufyani would come out’.

H 14703 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Najraan and someone else, from Ismail Bin Al-Sabbaah who said:

I heard an old man mentioning from Saif bin Umair who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Al-dawaniq, so I heard him saying, initiating it himself, ‘O saif Bin Umair! It is necessary for a caller to call in the name of a man from the sons of Abu Talibas’. I said, ‘Does any one from the people report it?’ He said, ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is my soul, my own ears have heard it from himasws (Abu Jafarasws) saying: ‘It is a must that a caller calls out in the name of a man’. I said, ‘O commander of the faithful! As for this Hadith, I have not heard similar to it at all’. He said to me, ‘O Saif! If it was like, so we would be the first ones to respond to it. But rather he would be one of the sons of our uncle’. I said, ‘Which son of your uncle?’ He said, ‘A man from the children of Fatimaasws’.

He then said, ‘O Saif! Had I not heard it from Abu Ja’farasws Muhammad Bin Aliasws saying it, however, if it were narrated to me by the inhabitants of the earth, I would not have accepted it from them, but it is from Muhammad Bin Aliasws’.

14704- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) جَالِساً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبُو الدَّوَانِيقِ فَقَعَدُوا نَاحِيَةً مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقِيلَ لَهُمْ هَذَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ جَالِسٌ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ وَ قَعَدَ أَبُو الدَّوَانِيقِ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى سَلَّمُوا عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مَا مَنَعَ جَبَّارَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَنِي فَعَذَّرُوهُ عِنْدَهُ

H 14704 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said:

I was seated with Abu Ja’farasws when Dawood Bin Ali, and Suleyman Bin Khalid, and Abu Ja’far Abdullah Bin Muhammad Abu Al-Dawaniqy came over and sat down in an area of the Masjid. It was said to them, ‘This is Muhammad Bin Aliasws seated (over there)’. So Dawood Bin Ali, and Suleyman Bin Khalid stood up and came over, whilst Abu Al-Dawaniqy remained seated in his place, until they greeted to Abu Ja’farasws. So Abu Ja’farasws said to them: ‘What prevented your tyrant from coming to measws?’ So they offered excuses on his behalf in hisasws presence.

فَقَالَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا تَذْهَبُ اللَّيَالِي وَ الْأَيَّامُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ مَا بَيْنَ قُطْرَيْهَا ثُمَّ لَيَطَأَنَّ الرِّجَالُ عَقِبَهُ ثُمَّ لَتَذِلَّنَّ لَهُ رِقَابُ الرِّجَالِ ثُمَّ لَيَمْلِكَنَّ مُلْكاً شَدِيداً فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ إِنَّ مُلْكَنَا قَبْلَ مُلْكِكُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا دَاوُدُ إِنَّ مُلْكَكُمْ قَبْلَ مُلْكِنَا وَ سُلْطَانَكُمْ قَبْلَ سُلْطَانِنَا فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ فَهَلْ لَهُ مِنْ مُدَّةٍ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا دَاوُدُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ يَوْماً إِلَّا مَلَكْتُمْ مِثْلَيْهِ وَ لَا سَنَةً إِلَّا مَلَكْتُمْ مِثْلَيْهَا وَ لَيَتَلَقَّفُهَا الصِّبْيَانُ مِنْكُمْ كَمَا تَلَقَّفُ الصِّبْيَانُ الْكُرَةَ

So Abu Ja’farasws said with regards to that: ‘But, by Allahazwj, (not many) nights and days would go by before he rules over the two regions. Then the men from his offspring would strengthen it for whom would be the reins, then they would govern with a severe government’. So Dawood Bin Ali said to himasws, ‘And he will be ruling over us before yourasws rule?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Dawood! He will rule over you before ourasws kingdom, and have authority over you before ourasws authority’.

Dawood said to himasws, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well, is there a time frame for it?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Dawood. By Allahazwj, the Clan of Umayya will not rule for a day except that you will rule for twice as much, and will not rule for a year but you will rule for twice as much, and the children from among you would seize it just like children seize the ball’.

فَقَامَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَرِحاً يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُخْبِرَ أَبَا الدَّوَانِيقِ بِذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا نَهَضَا جَمِيعاً هُوَ وَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ نَادَاهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مِنْ خَلْفِهِ يَا سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ لَا يَزَالُ الْقَوْمُ فِي فُسْحَةٍ مِنْ مُلْكِهِمْ مَا لَمْ يُصِيبُوا مِنَّا دَماً حَرَاماً وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ فَإِذَا أَصَابُوا ذَلِكَ الدَّمَ فَبَطْنُ الْأَرْضِ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ مِنْ ظَهْرِهَا فَيَوْمَئِذٍ لَا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ نَاصِرٌ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ عَاذِرٌ

Dawood Bin Ali stood up from the presence of Abu Ja’farasws with joy, intending to inform Abu Al-Dawaniqy of that. So when both, him and Suleyman Bin Khalid arose, Abu Ja’far called them back (to himasws): ‘O Suleyman Bin Khalid! The people would not cease from having space from their reign if they do not shed the blood from usasws unlawfully’ – and heasws gestured by hisasws hand to hisasws chest. ‘So if they shed that blood, the inside of the earth would be better for them than its surface, for on that Day there would not be any helper for them in the earth, nor a Forgiver for them in the sky’.

ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ فَأَخْبَرَ أَبَا الدَّوَانِيقِ فَجَاءَ أَبُو الدَّوَانِيقِ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا قَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ دَوْلَتُكُمْ قَبْلَ دَوْلَتِنَا وَ سُلْطَانُكُمْ قَبْلَ سُلْطَانِنَا سُلْطَانُكُمْ شَدِيدٌ عَسِرٌ لَا يُسْرَ فِيهِ وَ لَهُ مُدَّةٌ طَوِيلَةٌ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَمْلِكُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ يَوْماً إِلَّا مَلَكْتُمْ مِثْلَيْهِ وَ لَا سَنَةً إِلَّا مَلَكْتُمْ مِثْلَيْهَا وَ لَيَتَلَقَّفُهَا صِبْيَانٌ مِنْكُمْ فَضْلًا عَنْ رِجَالِكُمْ كَمَا يَتَلَقَّفُ الصِّبْيَانُ الْكُرَةَ أَ فَهِمْتَ

Then Suleyman Bin Khalid went and informed Abu Al-Dawaniqy. So Abu Al-Dawaniqy came over to Abu Ja’farasws. He greeted to himasws, then informed himasws of what Dawood bin Ali and Suleyman Bin Khalid had told him. So heasws said to him: ‘Yes, O Abu Ja’far! Your government is before ourasws government, and your authority would be before ourasws authority. Your authority would be extremely difficult and there would be no ease in it and would have a long duration for it. By Allahazwj! The Clan of Umayya will not rule for a day but you will (rule) for twice as much, nor for a year but you will rule for twice as much, and the children from among you would seize it just as children seize the ball. Do you understand?’

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تَزَالُونَ فِي عُنْفُوَانِ الْمُلْكِ تَرْغُدُونَ فِيهِ مَا لَمْ تُصِيبُوا مِنَّا دَماً حَرَاماً فَإِذَا أَصَبْتُمْ ذَلِكَ الدَّمَ غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَذَهَبَ بِمُلْكِكُمْ وَ سُلْطَانِكُمْ وَ ذَهَبَ بِرِيحِكُمْ وَ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْداً مِنْ عَبِيدِهِ أَعْوَرَ وَ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يَكُونُ اسْتِيصَالُكُمْ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ أَيْدِي أَصْحَابِهِ ثُمَّ قَطَعَ الْكَلَامَ.

Then heasws said: ‘The force of your reign will not decline so long as you do not shed ourasws blood unlawfully. But if you shed that blood, Allahazwj would be Wrathful, so your kingdom and authority would go away, and your power would go away, and Allahazwj would Make you to be overcome by a slave from the blind slaves, and he would not be more blind than the progeny of Abu Sufyan, and your eradication would be by his hands and the hands of his companions’. Then heasws discontinued the speech’.

14705- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَيَّامَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَدِ اخْتَلَفَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ دَعْ ذَا عَنْكَ إِنَّمَا يَجِي‏ءُ فَسَادُ أَمْرِهِمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ بَدَا صَلَاحُهُمْ.

H 14705 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al-Mufazzal Bin Mazeed, who has narrated the following:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘The days of Abdullah Bin Ali, they (Abbasid rulers) disputed regarding what was in between them’. So heasws said: ‘You leave that. But rather, the spoiling of their command would come from where their success began’.

14706- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ بَدْرِ بْنِ الْخَلِيلِ الْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ آيَتَانِ تَكُونَانِ قَبْلَ قِيَامِ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) لَمْ تَكُونَا مُنْذُ هَبَطَ آدَمُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ تَنْكَسِفُ الشَّمْسُ فِي النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ الْقَمَرُ فِي آخِرِهِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ تَنْكَسِفُ الشَّمْسُ فِي آخِرِ الشَّهْرِ وَ الْقَمَرُ فِي النِّصْفِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ مَا تَقُولُ وَ لَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ لَمْ تَكُونَا مُنْذُ هَبَطَ آدَمُ (عليه السلام).

H 14706 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Sa’albat Bin Maymoun, from Badr Bin Al-Khaleel Al-Azdy who said:

I was seated in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws, so heasws said: ‘Two Signs would occur before the rising of Al-Qaimasws which have never occurred since the descent of Adamas to the earth – A solar eclipse in the middle of the Month of Ramadhan, and the lunar (eclipse) at the end of it’. So a man said, ‘O sonasws of the Rasool! The sun gets eclipsed at the end of the month, and the moon in the middle of it’. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Iasws am more knowing of what you say, but these two Signs have never occurred since the descent of Adamas’.

14707- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ خَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَ أَبِي حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ إِذَا هُوَ بِأُنَاسٍ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي وَ اللَّهِ لَأُحِبُّ رِيَاحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ فَأَعِينُونِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ وَلَايَتَنَا لَا تُنَالُ إِلَّا بِالْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ مَنِ ائْتَمَّ مِنْكُمْ بِعَبْدٍ فَلْيَعْمَلْ بِعَمَلِهِ أَنْتُمْ شِيعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَنْصَارُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتُمُ السَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ الْآخِرُونَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ السَّابِقُونَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ

H 14707 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Amro Bin Abu Al-Maqdaam who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Iasws and myasws fatherasws went out until weasws arrived in between the Grave and the Pulpit (of the Rasool Allahsaww). There was a group of Shites over there, so Iasws greeted them, and then said: ‘By Allahazwj! Iasws love your aromas, and your spirits, so help measws upon that by being pious and striving. And know that ourasws Wilayah cannot be achieved except by piety and the striving, and the one from among you who follows a servant (an Imamasws); he should emulate what he does. You are the Shites of Allahazwj, and you are the Helpers of Allahazwj, and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the later ones, and the foremost in the world, and the foremost in the Hereafter (and) to the Paradise.

قَدْ ضَمِنَّا لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِضَمَانِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ضَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى دَرَجَةِ الْجَنَّةِ أَكْثَرُ أَرْوَاحاً مِنْكُمْ فَتَنَافَسُوا فِي فَضَائِلِ الدَّرَجَاتِ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنَةٍ حَوْرَاءُ عَيْنَاءُ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ وَ لَقَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) لِقَنْبَرٍ يَا قَنْبَرُ أَبْشِرْ وَ بَشِّرْ وَ اسْتَبْشِرْ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ هُوَ عَلَى أُمَّتِهِ سَاخِطٌ إِلَّا الشِّيعَةَ

Weasws have taken your responsibility for the Paradise on the Guarantee of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and the guarantee of the Rasool Allahsaww. By Allahazwj! There are no Levels of the Paradise where there are more Spirits than yours, so compete for the higher Levels. You are the good ones and your women are the good ones. Every Believing woman is a virgin Hourie and every Believer is a Truthful one. And Amir-ul-Momineenasws has said to Qanbar: ‘Receive good news, rejoice with the good news, and convey the good news, for, by Allahazwj, the Rasool Allahsaww passed away while hesaww was angry with hissaww community except for the Shites’.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عِزّاً وَ عِزُّ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ دِعَامَةً وَ دِعَامَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ذِرْوَةً وَ ذِرْوَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ شَرَفاً وَ شَرَفُ الْإِسْلَامِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سَيِّداً وَ سَيِّدُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَجَالِسُ الشِّيعَةِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِمَاماً وَ إِمَامُ الْأَرْضِ أَرْضٌ تَسْكُنُهَا الشِّيعَةُ

Indeed! For everything there is an honour and the honour of Al-Islam are the Shites. Indeed! For everything there is a pillar and the pillar of Al-Islam are the Shites. Indeed! For everything there is a chief and the chief of the gatherings is the gathering of the Shites. Indeed! For every thing is an Imam, and the Imam of the earth is the land on which the Shites live.

وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا رَأَيْتَ بِعَيْنٍ عُشْباً أَبَداً وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَهْلِ خِلَافِكُمْ وَ لَا أَصَابُوا الطَّيِّبَاتِ مَا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ نَصِيبٍ كُلُّ نَاصِبٍ وَ إِنْ تَعَبَّدَ وَ اجْتَهَدَ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ تَصْلى ناراً حامِيَةً فَكُلُّ نَاصِبٍ مُجْتَهِدٍ فَعَمَلُهُ هَبَاءٌ

By Allahazwj! Had you all not been in the earth, an eye would have never ever see herbs. By Allahazwj! Had you all not been in the earth, Allahazwj would not have Favoured the people who oppose you nor would they have been in any goodness. They would have nothing for them in the world nor any share for them in the Hereafter. Every hostile one (Nasibi), if he were to worship, and struggle, would be attributed to this Verse: “[88:3] Toiling, Hostile one [88:4] Entering into burning fire”. So every Hostile One (Nasibi) who struggles, his deeds would be wasted.

شِيعَتُنَا يَنْطِقُونَ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ يُخَالِفُهُمْ يَنْطِقُونَ بِتَفَلُّتٍ وَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا يَنَامُ إِلَّا أَصْعَدَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رُوحَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيُبَارِكُ عَلَيْهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَتَى عَلَيْهَا أَجَلُهَا جَعَلَهَا فِي كُنُوزِ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ فِي رِيَاضِ جَنَّةٍ وَ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ أَجَلُهَا مُتَأَخِّراً بَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَ أَمَنَتِهِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لِيَرُدُّوهَا إِلَى الْجَسَدِ الَّذِي خَرَجَتْ مِنْهُ لِتَسْكُنَ فِيهِ

Ourasws Shites speak with the ‘بِنُورِ’ Light of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and the one who are opposed to them speak by instinct (biological needs). By Allahazwj! There is none from ourasws Shites who sleeps, except that Allahazwj Makes his soul to ascend to the sky to be Blessed. So if its term (death) has come, Heazwj Makes it to be within the Treasures of Hisazwj Mercy, and in the Gardens of Paradise, and in the Shade of Hisazwj Throne. And if its term (death) has been delayed, Heazwj sends it back along with the trusted Angels to return it to the body from which it came out to dwell in it.

وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ حَاجَّكُمْ وَ عُمَّارَكُمْ لَخَاصَّةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنَّ فُقَرَاءَكُمْ لَأَهْلُ الْغِنَى وَ إِنَّ أَغْنِيَاءَكُمْ لَأَهْلُ الْقَنَاعَةِ وَ إِنَّكُمْ كُلَّكُمْ لَأَهْلُ دَعْوَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ إِجَابَتِهِ.

By Allahazwj those of you who perform the Hajj and the Umrah are the special ones of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. And the poor ones among you are the rich ones, and your rich ones are the contented ones. And all of you are the people whom Heazwj Invited and the people who accepted Hisazwj Call’.

H 14708 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shammoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdu Rahmaan, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim, from Amro Bin Abu Al-Maqdaam, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Indeed! And for everything is an essence and the essence of the children of Adamas is Muhammadsaww, and usasws, and ourasws Shites after usasws. How lovely are ourasws Shites! What will be closer to the Throne of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic than them on the Day of Judgement. By Allahazwj! Had the people not magnified that, or pride entered into them, the Angels would have greeted them already.

وَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا يَتْلُو الْقُرْآنَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ قَائِماً إِلَّا وَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِائَةُ حَسَنَةٍ وَ لَا قَرَأَ فِي صَلَوَاتِهِ جَالِساً إِلَّا وَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ خَمْسُونَ حَسَنَةً وَ لَا فِي غَيْرِ صَلَاةٍ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ وَ إِنَّ لِلصَّامِتِ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا لَأَجْرُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ مِمَّنْ خَالَفَهُ

By Allahazwj! There is no servant from ourasws Shites who recites the Quran whilst standing in his Prayer, except that there are a hundred Rewards for him for every letter of it, nor does he recite it seated in his Prayer, except that there are a fifty Rewards for him for every letter of it, nor in other than Prayers, except that there are ten Rewards for him for every letter of it. And the one from ourasws Shites who is silent, there is the Reward for him of the recitation of the Quran by the one who is opposed to him. 

أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ عَلَى فُرُشِكُمْ نِيَامٌ لَكُمْ أَجْرُ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ وَ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ لَكُمْ أَجْرُ الصَّافِّينَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ نَزَعْنا ما فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ غِلٍّ إِخْواناً عَلى سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلِينَ إِنَّمَا شِيعَتُنَا أَصْحَابُ الْأَرْبَعَةِ الْأَعْيُنِ عَيْنَانِ فِي الرَّأْسِ وَ عَيْنَانِ فِي الْقَلْبِ أَلَا وَ الْخَلَائِقُ كُلُّهُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَتَحَ أَبْصَارَكُمْ وَ أَعْمَى أَبْصَارَهُمْ.

By Allahazwj! You sleep upon your beds and there is the Reward for you of the Holy Warriors (Al-Mujahideen). By Allahazwj! You are in your Prayers, and there is for you the Reward of the being in the rows of Hisazwj Way. By Allahazwj! You are the ones for whom Allahazwj has Said: “[15:47] And We will root out whatever of rancour is in their breasts (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face”. But rather, ourasws Shites are the people with four eyes – two eyes in the head and two eyes in the heart. Indeed! And all of the creatures are like that, except that Allahazwj has Opened your eyes, and Blinded their eyes’.

14709- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ أَشْكُو إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَحْدَتِي وَ تَقَلْقُلِي بَيْنَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى تَقْدَمُوا وَ أَرَاكُمْ وَ آنَسَ بِكُمْ فَلَيْتَ هَذِهِ الطَّاغِيَةَ أَذِنَ لِي فَأَتَّخِذَ قَصْراً فِي الطَّائِفِ فَسَكَنْتُهُ وَ أَسْكَنْتُكُمْ مَعِيَ وَ أَضْمَنَ لَهُ أَنْ لَا يَجِي‏ءَ مِنْ نَاحِيَتِنَا مَكْرُوهٌ أَبَداً.

H 14709 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Anbasat Bin Mus’ab who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Iasws ‘أَشْكُو’ complain to Allahazwj Might and Majestic of myasws loneliness, and restlessness among the people of Al-Medina, until you (Shites) come over and Iasws see you, and be comforted by you. If only this tyrant would allow me, so Iasws would take a fort in Al-Taef, so Iasws would dwell in it and you would all dwell in it with measws. Iasws would guarantee to him that there would not come from our area any harm to him ever’.

14710- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ أَنْشَدَ الْكُمَيْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) شِعْراً فَقَالَ: أَخْلَصَ اللَّهُ لِي هَوَايَ فَمَا أُغْرِقُ نَزْعاً وَ لَا تَطِيشُ سِهَامِي فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لَا تَقُلْ هَكَذَا فَمَا أُغْرِقُ نَزْعاً وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ فَقَدْ أُغْرِقَ نَزْعاً وَ لَا تَطِيشُ سِهَامِي.

H 14710 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Waleed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub who said:

Kumeyt chanted some poems to Abu Abdullahasws, so he said: ‘May Allahazwj Make my desires sincere to me so I do not pull the string of my bow, and my arrows do not waver’. So Abu Abdullahasws said; ‘Do not say like this, ‘I do not pull the string of my bow’, but say, ‘So I have pulled the string of my bow and my arrows do not waver’.

14711- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ قُولُوا لِأُمِّ فَرْوَةَ تَجِي‏ءُ فَتَسْمَعُ مَا صُنِعَ بِجَدِّهَا قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ فَقَعَدَتْ خَلْفَ السِّتْرِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْشِدْنَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَرْوُ جُودِي بِدَمْعِكِ الْمَسْكُوبِ قَالَ فَصَاحَتْ وَ صِحْنَ النِّسَاءُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) الْبَابَ الْبَابَ فَاجْتَمَعَ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى الْبَابِ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) صَبِيٌّ لَنَا غُشِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَصِحْنَ النِّسَاءُ.

H 14711 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Abu Dawood Al-Mustarraq, from Sufyan Bin Mus’ab Al-Abzay who said:

I came up to Abu Abdullahasws, so heasws said: ‘Tell Umm Farwa to come and listen to what happened with her grandfather’. So she came and sat behind the curtain. Then heasws said: ‘Recite a poem (Nasheed) to us’. So I said, ‘Let Farwa be generous in the flow of her tears’. So she wailed and the women wailed’. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The door! The door! The people of Al-Medina were gathered at the door. So Abu Abdullahasws sent a message to them: ‘One of our young ones fainted, hence the women wailed’.

14712- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا حَفَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْخَنْدَقَ مَرُّوا بِكُدْيَةٍ فَتَنَاوَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْمِعْوَلَ مِنْ يَدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) أَوْ مِنْ يَدِ سَلْمَانَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا ضَرْبَةً فَتَفَرَّقَتْ بِثَلَاثِ فِرَقٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَقَدْ فُتِحَ عَلَيَّ فِي ضَرْبَتِي هَذِهِ كُنُوزُ كِسْرَى وَ قَيْصَرَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ يَعِدُنَا بِكُنُوزِ كِسْرَى وَ قَيْصَرَ وَ مَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدُنَا أَنْ يَخْرُجَ يَتَخَلَّى.

H 14712 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from one of his men, from Abu Abdullah having said:

When the Rasool Allahsaww dug the trench (Al-Khandaq), hesaww came across a rock. So the Rasool Allahsaww took a pickaxe from the hand of Amir-ul-Momineenasws, or from the hand of Salmanar. Hesaww struck by it at the rock and it split into three pieces. The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘With this strike the treasures of Chosroe and Caesar have opened up for mesaww. So one of them (Abu Bakr or Umar) said to his companion, ‘Hesaww promises us with the treasures of Chosroe and Caesar whilst no one of us has the control to go out for the toilet’.

14713- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رِيحاً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْأَزْيَبُ لَوْ أَرْسَلَ مِنْهَا مِقْدَارَ مَنْخِرِ ثَوْرٍ لَأَثَارَتْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ هِيَ الْجَنُوبُ.

H 14713 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from one of our companions, who have narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High has a Wind which is called ‘Al-Azeyb). If Heazwj Sends from it the measurement (which comes out of) the nostril of a bull, it would raise what is in between the sky and the earth, and this is (known as) the South (Wind)’.

14714- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ رُزَيْقٍ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ أَتَى قَوْمٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بِلَادَنَا قَدْ قُحِطَتْ وَ تَوَالَتِ السِّنُونَ عَلَيْنَا فَادْعُ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِالْمِنْبَرِ فَأُخْرِجَ وَ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ دَعَا وَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤَمِّنُوا

H 14714 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Saleh Bin Al-Sandy, from Ja’far Bin basher, from Ruzeyq Abu Al-Abbas, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The people came to the Rasool Allahsaww, so they said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww! Our towns have drought and it has prevailed for years upon us. So supplicate to Allahazwj Blessed and High to Send the sky (to rain) upon us’. So the Rasool Allahsaww ordered for the Pulpit. They brought it out, and the people gathered. The Rasool Allahsaww ascended and supplicated, and ordered the people to say ‘Ameen’.

فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ هَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرِ النَّاسَ أَنَّ رَبَّكَ قَدْ وَعَدَهُمْ أَنْ يُمْطَرُوا يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ سَاعَةَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَلَمْ يَزَلِ النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَتْ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةُ أَهَاجَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رِيحاً فَأَثَارَتْ سَحَاباً وَ جَلَّلَتِ السَّمَاءَ وَ أَرْخَتْ عَزَالِيَهَا

It was not long before Jibraeel descended and said; ‘O Muhammadsaww! Inform the people that yoursaww Lordazwj has Promised to them that Heazwj would Make it rain on such and such a day, and at such and such a time’. So the people did not cease to look out for that day and that particular time, until that time came up. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Excited a wind, so it raised clouds which covered the sky, and released the rain.

فَجَاءَ أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرُ بِأَعْيَانِهِمْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لَنَا أَنْ يَكُفَّ السَّمَاءَ عَنَّا فَإِنَّا كِدْنَا أَنْ نَغْرَقَ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ وَ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤَمِّنُوا عَلَى دُعَائِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْمِعْنَا فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَا تَقُولُ لَيْسَ نَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ حَوَالَيْنَا وَ لَا عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ صُبَّهَا فِي بُطُونِ الْأَوْدِيَةِ وَ فِي نَبَاتِ الشَّجَرِ وَ حَيْثُ يَرْعَى أَهْلُ الْوَبَرِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا رَحْمَةً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهَا عَذَاباً.

So those individuals came with their rich ones to the Prophetsaww. They said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, Supplicate to Allahazwj for us to withhold the sky (stop the rain) from us, for we are about to drown. So the people gathered, and the Prophetsaww supplicated, and ordered the people that they should say ‘Ameen’ upon hissaww supplication. A man from the people said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, make us hear it, for all what yousaww are saying, we cannot hear’. So hesaww said; ‘Say, ‘Our Allahazwj! Around us and not upon us. Our Allahazwj! Let it pour in the middle of the valleys, and in the growth of the trees, and where the shepherds pasture. Our Allahazwj! Make it to be a Mercy, and do not Make it to be a Punishment’.

14715- جَعْفَرُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ رُزَيْقٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَا أَبْرَقَتْ قَطُّ فِي ظُلْمَةِ لَيْلٍ وَ لَا ضَوْءِ نَهَارٍ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ مَاطِرَةٌ.

H 14715 – Ja’far Bin Basheer, from Ruzeyq, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Lightning does not occur at all in the darkness of the night or the light of the day unless it is raining’.

14716- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْعَزْرَمِيِّ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ السَّحَابِ أَيْنَ يَكُونُ قَالَ يَكُونُ عَلَى شَجَرٍ عَلَى كَثِيبٍ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ يَأْوِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُرْسِلَهُ أَرْسَلَ رِيحاً فَأَثَارَتْهُ وَ وَكَّلَ بِهِ مَلَائِكَةً يَضْرِبُوهُ بِالْمَخَارِيقِ وَ هُوَ الْبَرْقُ فَيَرْتَفِعُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَ الرِّياحَ فَتُثِيرُ سَحاباً فَسُقْناهُ إِلى بَلَدٍ مَيِّتٍ الْآيَةَ وَ الْمَلَكُ اسْمُهُ الرَّعْدُ.

H 14716 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibn Al-Azramy with an unbroken chain has said the following:

Amir-ul-Momineenasws replied when heasws was asked, ‘Where do the clouds come from?’  Heasws as said: ‘They are on the dense trees, on the dunes, and on the shores which are a resort for them. So if Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Intends to Send a wind which stirs them, and Allocates Angels to these who strike it by ‘Al-makhareeq’, and it is the lightning. So they rise up’. Then heasws recited this verse: “[35:9] And Allah is He Who sends the winds so they raise a cloud, then We drive it on to a dead country, and therewith We give life to the earth after its death”, the Verse. And the Angel, its name is ‘Al-Ra’ad’ (The Thunder)’.

14717- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ مُثَنًّى الْحَنَّاطِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَنْ صَدَقَ لِسَانُهُ زَكَا عَمَلُهُ وَ مَنْ حَسُنَتْ نِيَّتُهُ زَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَ مَنْ حَسُنَ بِرُّهُ بِأَهْلِهِ زَادَ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ.

H 14717 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad bin Abu nasr, from Musanna Al-Hannaat and Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The one who is of a truthful tongue, his deeds would be pure, and the one who is of good intention, Allahazwj Increases his sustenance, and the one who is kind to his family, Allahazwj Increases his life’.

H 14718 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Hashmy, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa who said:

It was narrated to me by Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfather Aliasws that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High Said to the Children of Adamas: “If your eye dispute for some of what Iazwj have Prohibited to you, so Iazwj have Aided you with two layers (eyelids), so close them and do not look. And if your tongue disputes for some of what Iazwj have Prohibited to you, so Iazwj have Aided you with two layers (lips), so close them and do not speak. And if your genitals dispute for some of what Iazwj have Prohibited to you, so Iazwj have Aided you with two layers (legs), so close them and do not come to the Prohibited’.

H 14719 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from a slave of the Clan of Hashimas, the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Three things, which if they are in someone, so there is no hope of goodness from him – The one who is never ashamed of the faults, and (never) fears Allahazwj for the Hidden, and (never becomes) pious during old age’.

14720- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِجَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِذَا أَتَاكُمْ شَرِيفُ قَوْمٍ فَأَكْرِمُوهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ مَا الشَّرِيفُ قَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ الشَّرِيفُ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ مَالٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْحَسِيبُ قَالَ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ الْأَفْعَالَ الْحَسَنَةَ بِمَالِهِ وَ غَيْرِ مَالِهِ قُلْتُ فَمَا الْكَرَمُ قَالَ التَّقْوَى.

H 14720 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Al-HajjaAl-who said:

I said to Jameel Bin Darraaj, ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘If a respectable person of a people comes, so be kind to him’. He said, ‘Yes’. I said to him, ‘And what is the respectable one?’ He said, ‘I had asked Abu Abdullahasws about that, so heasws said that the honourable one is the one who is wealthy’. I said, ‘So what is nobility?’ Heasws said: ‘The one who acts goodly with his wealth and the wealth of others’. I said, ‘So what is the kindness?’ Heasws said: ‘The piety’.

14721- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا أَشَدَّ حُزْنَ النِّسَاءِ وَ أَبْعَدَ فِرَاقَ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَشَدُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ فَقْرٌ يَتَمَلَّقُ صَاحِبُهُ ثُمَّ لَا يُعْطَى شَيْئاً.

H 14721 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-nawfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘There is nothing more intense than the grief of a woman, nor anything more remote than the separation of the death, and more intense than all of that is poverty. One flatters his companion, who then does not give him anything’.

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘When you see that poverty and need has abounded (too much), and the people are denying each other, await the Command of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, these two – poverty and need, I recognise them, so what is, ‘people denying each other’?’ Heasws said: ‘A man from among you comes to his brother, so he asks him for his need, and he looks at him with a look with which he did not use to look at him before, and he speaks to him by a tongue (manner) in which he did not speak to him before’.

H 14726 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed Al-Ataar, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Umar the brother of Azaafir who said:

A person handed over to me six or seven hundred Dirhams for Abu Abdullahasws. So it was in my bag, When I arrived at Al-Hafeera, my bag had split and whatever was in it had gone. I got the officer in Al-Medina to concur with it. He said, ‘Are you the one whose bag split and your belongings were gone?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘When you get to the city, come to us and we will compensate you’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا عُمَرُ شُقَّتْ زَامِلَتُكَ وَ ذُهِبَ بِمَتَاعِكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ مَا أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا أُخِذَ مِنْكَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) ضَلَّتْ نَاقَتُهُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ فِيهَا يُخْبِرُنَا عَنِ السَّمَاءِ وَ لَا يُخْبِرُنَا عَنْ نَاقَتِهِ فَهَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ نَاقَتُكَ فِي وَادِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا مَلْفُوفٌ خِطَامُهَا بِشَجَرَةِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا

So when I arrived at Al-Medina, I came up to Abu Abdullahasws whoasws said, ‘O Umar, your bag was split and your belongings were gone?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘What Allahazwj has Given you is better than what has been taken from you. The she-camel of the Rasool Allahsaww got lost, so the people said regarding it, ‘Hesaww informs us about the sky and hesaww cannot inform us about hissaww she-camel’. Jibraeel descended and said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww she-camel is in such and such a valley. Its bridle has been entangled with such and such a tree’.

قَالَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَكْثَرْتُمْ عَلَيَّ فِي نَاقَتِي أَلَا وَ مَا أَعْطَانِي اللَّهُ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا أُخِذَ مِنِّي أَلَا وَ إِنَّ نَاقَتِي فِي وَادِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا مَلْفُوفٌ خِطَامُهَا بِشَجَرَةِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَابْتَدَرَهَا النَّاسُ فَوَجَدُوهَا كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ائْتِ عَامِلَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَتَنَجَّزْ مِنْهُ مَا وَعَدَكَ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْ‏ءٌ دَعَاكَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ لَمْ تَطْلُبْهُ مِنْهُ.

Heasws said: ‘So hesaww ascended the Pulpit. Hesaww Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj and said: ‘O you people! You spoke a great deal to mesaww regarding mysaww she-camel. Indeed! And what Allahazwj has Given mesaww is better than what was taken from mesaww. Indeed! Mysaww she-camel is in such a such a valley. Its bridle has been entangled with such and such a tree’. So the people rushed towards it and found her as the Rasool Allahsaww had said’. Then heasws said: ‘Go to the office bearer of Al-Medina and acquire from him what he has promised you, for it is something, which Allahazwj has Invited you to it. You never demanded it from him’.

H 14727 – Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Yunus, from Shuayb Al-Aqarqufy who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws something which had been reported from Abu Dharrar, that hear had said, ‘Three things which the people hate but Iar love those. Iar love the death, and Iar love the poverty, and Iar love the afflictions’. So heasws said: ‘This is not as how they are reporting it. But, rather hear meant, ‘The death in the obedience to Allahazwj is more beloved to mear from the life in disobedience to Allahazwj, and the afflictions in the obedience to Allahazwj is more beloved to mear from the health in disobedience to Allahazwj, and the poverty in obedience to Allahazwj is more beloved to mear from the self-sufficiency in disobedience to Allahazwj’.

H 14728 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from yunus, from Ali Bin Isa Al-Qammaat, from his uncle who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Jibraeel descended upon the Rasool Allahsaww whilst the Rasool Allahsaww was gloomy and sad. So he said; ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, what is it that I see yousaww to be gloomy and sad?’ Hesaww said: ‘Isaww had a dream last night’. He said: ‘And what is it that yousaww saw?’ Hesaww said: ‘Isaww saw the Clan of Umayya ascending the Pulpit and descending from it’. He said: ‘And by the One Whoazwj Sent yousaww as a Prophetsaww with the Truth, I do not know anything about this’.

وَ صَعِدَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَهْبَطَهُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِآيٍ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ يُعَزِّيهِ بِهَا قَوْلِهِ أَ فَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ مَتَّعْناهُمْ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ جاءَهُمْ ما كانُوا يُوعَدُونَ ما أَغْنى عَنْهُمْ ما كانُوا يُمَتَّعُونَ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ ما أَدْراكَ ما لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ لِلْقَوْمِ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ لِرَسُولِهِ خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْر.

And Jibraeel ascended to the sky, then Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Mention, Made him descend with a Verse from the Quran to comfort himsaww by: “[26:205] Have you then considered if We let them enjoy themselves for years, [26:206] Then there comes to them that with which they are threatened [26:207] That which they were made to enjoy shall not avail them?”. And Allahazwj Revealed: “[97:1] We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power [97:2] And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? [97:3] The Night of Power is better than a thousand months”. So Allahazwj Made the Night of Power for Hisazwj Messengersaww to be better than a thousand months (of the Clan of Umayya)’.

14729- سَهْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ قَالَ فِتْنَةٌ فِي دِينِهِ أَوْ جِرَاحَةٌ لَا يَأْجُرُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا.

H 14729 – Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from yunus, from Abdul A’ala who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[24:63] therefore let those beware who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befall them a painful chastisement”. Imamasws said: (it’s) ‘فِتْنَةٌ’ Strife in Hisazwj Religion or oppression for which Allahazwj does not Reward’.

H 14730 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad, from Yunus, from Abdul A’ala who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws that, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, yourasws Shites hate and dispel each other. If youasws could look into this affair of theirs’. So heasws said: ‘I am thinking of writing a document so that no two of them would differ’. I said, ‘We have never been more needy of it than we are today’. Then heasws said: ‘This (will not settle the matter between) Marwaan and Ibn Dharr’. I thought that heasws had prevented me from that.

قَالَ فَقُمْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ لِأَبِيكَ اخْتِلَافَ شِيعَتِهِ وَ تَبَاغُضَهُمْ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ كِتَاباً لَا يَخْتَلِفُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُمُ اثْنَانِ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَا قَالَ مَرْوَانُ وَ ابْنُ ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الْأَعْلَى إِنَّ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا لَحَقّاً كَحَقِّنَا عَلَيْكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَنْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا بِحُقُوقِنَا أَسْرَعَ مِنَّا إِلَيْكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ سَأَنْظُرُ

I stood up from hisasws presence, so I came up to Ismail. I said, ‘O Abu Muhammad! I mentioned to your fatherasws the differing of hisasws Shites and their hatred (towards each other). So heasws said: ‘Iasws am thinking of writing a book so that no two of them would differ’. He said, ‘What Marwaan and Ibn Dharr have said?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘O Abdul A’ala! You all have rights over us as we have rights over you all. By Allahazwj, you are not quicker to us for the rights than we are to you’. Then he said, ‘I will look into it’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الْأَعْلَى مَا عَلَى قَوْمٍ إِذَا كَانَ أَمْرُهُمْ أَمْراً وَاحِداً مُتَوَجِّهِينَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ يَأْخُذُونَ عَنْهُ أَلَّا يَخْتَلِفُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ يُسْنِدُوا أَمْرَهُمْ إِلَيْهِ يَا عَبْدَ الْأَعْلَى إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُؤْمِنِ وَ قَدْ سَبَقَهُ أَخُوهُ إِلَى دَرَجَةٍ مِنْ دَرَجَاتِ الْجَنَّةِ أَنْ يَجْذِبَهُ عَنْ مَكَانِهِ الَّذِي هُوَ بِهِ وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِهَذَا الْآخَرِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَبْلُغْ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ فِي صَدْرِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلْحَقْ بِهِ وَ لَكِنْ يَسْتَلْحِقُ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.

Then said: ‘O Abdul A’ala! What is wrong with a people if their matter was one that they would turn their attention to one manasws, taking (instructions) from himasws and not oppose himasws, and assign their matters to himasws?’ O Abdul A’ala! It is not befitting for the Believer that if his brother has preceded him to a Level from the Levels of the Paradise that he should pull him back from his place, which he is in. And it does not befit this other one who has not reached (to his level) that he should push back his chest, but he should hold his hand and make him join him, and seek Forgiveness from Allahazwj’.

H 14731 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Khalid Al-Kabuly, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: “[39:29] Allah sets forth an example: There is a slave in whom are (several) partners differing with one another, and there is another slave wholly owned by one man. Are the two alike in condition?” Heasws said: ‘But rather it is the one who has associates with regards to whom they doubt because he was the first one who gathered them for his leadership, so they differed regarding it and some of them cursed each other for that, and some of them distanced themselves from each other. As for the manasws of peace, he is the first one for the ‘حَقّاً’ Just and his Shites’. 

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْيَهُودَ تَفَرَّقُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مُوسَى (عليه السلام) عَلَى إِحْدَى وَ سَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً مِنْهَا فِرْقَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ سَبْعُونَ فِرْقَةً فِي النَّارِ وَ تَفَرَّقَتِ النَّصَارَى بَعْدَ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَ سَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً فِرْقَةٌ مِنْهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ إِحْدَى وَ سَبْعُونَ فِي النَّارِ وَ تَفَرَّقَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَ سَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً اثْنَتَانِ وَ سَبْعُونَ فِرْقَةً فِي النَّارِ وَ فِرْقَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ مِنَ الثَّلَاثِ وَ سَبْعِينَ فِرْقَةً ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ فِرْقَةً تَنْتَحِلُ وَلَايَتَنَا وَ مَوَدَّتَنَا اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ فِرْقَةً مِنْهَا فِي النَّارِ وَ فِرْقَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ سِتُّونَ فِرْقَةً مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ فِي النَّارِ.

Then heasws said: ‘The Jews differed, from after Musaas and separated into seventy-one sects, one of which will be in the Paradise and seventy sects would be in the Fire. And the Christians separated, from after Isaas into seventy-two sects, one of which would be in the Paradise and seventy-one of the sects would be in the Fire. And this community will separate after its Prophetsaww into seventy-three sects. Seventy-two sects would be in the Fire and one sect would be in the Paradise. And from these seventy-three sects, thirteen would be of those who claim to be in ourasws Wilayah and show affection to usasws. Twelve sects from these would be in the Fire and one sect would be in the Paradise. And sixty sects from the rest of the people would be in the Fire’.

14732- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمْ تَزَلْ دَوْلَةُ الْبَاطِلِ طَوِيلَةً وَ دَوْلَةُ الْحَقِّ قَصِيرَةً.

H 14732 - And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘The government of the falsehood does not decline for a long time, and the government of the truth lasts for a short while’.

14733- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ السَّرَّاجِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَتَى فَرَجُ شِيعَتِكُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ وُلْدُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ وَهَى سُلْطَانُهُمْ وَ طَمِعَ فِيهِمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَطْمَعُ فِيهِمْ وَ خَلَعَتِ الْعَرَبُ أَعِنَّتَهَا وَ رَفَعَ كُلُّ ذِي صِيصِيَةٍ صِيصِيَتَهُ وَ ظَهَرَ الشَّامِيُّ وَ أَقْبَلَ الْيَمَانِيُّ وَ تَحَرَّكَ الْحَسَنِيُّ وَ خَرَجَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ بِتُرَاثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله )

H 14733 – And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yaqoub Al-Sarraaj who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘When will there be relief for yourasws Shites?’ Heasws said: ‘When the children of Al-Abbas differ regarding their authority, and he who was not greedy for it before, covets it, and the Arabs remove their reins, and every one with spurs (horsemen) battles for it, and Al-Shamy (The Syrian) appears, and Al-Yamany (The Yemenite) comes forward, and Al-Hasany moves (with a movement), and the Masterasws of this Command will come out from Al-Medina to Al-Makkah with the inheritance of the Rasool Allahsaww’.

فَقُلْتُ مَا تُرَاثُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ سَيْفُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ دِرْعُهُ وَ عِمَامَتُهُ وَ بُرْدُهُ وَ قَضِيبُهُ وَ رَايَتُهُ وَ لَامَتُهُ وَ سَرْجُهُ حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجَ السَّيْفَ مِنْ غِمْدِهِ وَ يَلْبَسَ الدِّرْعَ وَ يَنْشُرَ الرَّايَةَ وَ الْبُرْدَةَ وَ الْعِمَامَةَ وَ يَتَنَاوَلَ الْقَضِيبَ بِيَدِهِ وَ يَسْتَأْذِنَ اللَّهَ فِي ظُهُورِهِ

So I said, ‘What inheritance of the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Sword of the Rasool Allahsaww, and hissaww armor, and hissaww turban, and hissaww gown, and hissaww staff, and hissaww banner, and hissaww helmet, and hissaww saddle, until heasws descends upon Makkah. So heasws will take out the sword from its sheath, and put on the armor, and display the banner, and (wear) the gown and the turban, and grab the staff by hisasws hand, and seek Permission of Allahazwj for hisasws appearance.

فَيَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ بَعْضُ مَوَالِيهِ فَيَأْتِي الْحَسَنِيَّ فَيُخْبِرُهُ الْخَبَرَ فَيَبْتَدِرُ الْحَسَنِيُّ إِلَى الْخُرُوجِ فَيَثِبُ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ وَ يَبْعَثُونَ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِيِّ فَيَظْهَرُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ فَيُبَايِعُهُ النَّاسُ وَ يَتَّبِعُونَهُ وَ يَبْعَثُ الشَّامِيُّ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ جَيْشاً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَيُهْلِكُهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ دُونَهَا وَ يَهْرُبُ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَنْ كَانَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ وُلْدِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَلْحَقُونَ بِصَاحِبِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَ يُقْبِلُ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ نَحْوَ الْعِرَاقِ وَ يَبْعَثُ جَيْشاً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَأْمَنُ أَهْلُهَا وَ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهَا.

That will be announced to some of hisasws friends. Al-Hassany would come. So heasws would inform him of the news. Al-Hassany would initiate the coming out (Al-Khurouj). The people of Makkah would pounce upon him. So they will kill him and send his head to Al-Shamy (The Syrian). During that, the Masterasws of this Command will appear. So the people would pledge their allegiances to himasws and follow himasws. And Al-Shamy (The Syrian) would send an army to Al-Medina. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Destroy them before it (gets there). On that day, those from the children of Aliasws who would be in Al-Medina would flee to Makkah. So they would join up with the Masterasws of this Command. And the Masterasws of this Command would go towards Al-Iraq and send hisasws army to Al-Medina. Its people would express belief and they would return to it’.

14734- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ مُغْضَبٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ آنِفاً فِي حَاجَةٍ فَتَعَرَّضَ لِي بَعْضُ سُودَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَهَتَفَ بِي لَبَّيْكَ يَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَبَّيْكَ فَرَجَعْتُ عَوْدِي عَلَى بَدْئِي إِلَى مَنْزِلِي خَائِفاً ذَعِراً مِمَّا قَالَ حَتَّى سَجَدْتُ فِي مَسْجِدِي لِرَبِّي وَ عَفَّرْتُ لَهُ وَجْهِي وَ ذَلَّلْتُ لَهُ نَفْسِي وَ بَرِئْتُ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا هَتَفَ بِي وَ لَوْ أَنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ عَدَا مَا قَالَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ إِذاً لَصَمَّ صَمّاً لَا يَسْمَعُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً وَ عَمِيَ عَمًى لَا يُبْصِرُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً وَ خَرِسَ خَرْساً لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أَبَا الْخَطَّابِ وَ قَتَلَهُ بِالْحَدِيدِ.

H 14734 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Maalik bin Atiyya, who has narrated the following:

Some of the companions of Abu Abdullahasws has reported that Abu Abdullahasws came out to us and heasws was ‘مُغْضَبٌ’ angry. Heasws said: ‘Iasws went out for some need, so some black people of Al-Medina presented themselves to measws. They shouted at measws as: ‘لَبَّيْكَ يَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَبَّيْكَ’  ‘Here I am (Labbaik) O Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws, here I am (Labbaik)!’ So Iasws returned back to myasws house, in a fearful panic from what they had said, until Iasws prostrated to myasws Lordazwj and rubbed myasws face to Himazwj, and humbled myselfasws to Himazwj, and distanced myselfasws (from them) to Himazwj from what they had shouted to measws.

And if Isaas Ibn Maryamas had added anything to what Allahazwj had Said regarding himas, then heas would have become deaf and would not have been able to hear anything after that ever, and become blinded and would not have been able to visualise anything after that ever, and would have become dumb and would not have been able to speak anything after that ever’. Then heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj Curse Abu Al-Khattaab and kill him with the iron’[25].

14735- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَهْمِ بْنِ أَبِي جُهَيْمَةَ عَنْ بَعْضِ مَوَالِي أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ عِنْدَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عليه السلام) رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَجَعَلَ يَذْكُرُ قُرَيْشاً وَ الْعَرَبَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ دَعْ هَذَا النَّاسُ ثَلَاثَةٌ عَرَبِيٌّ وَ مَوْلًى وَ عِلْجٌ فَنَحْنُ الْعَرَبُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا الْمَوَالِي وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا نَحْنُ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ عِلْجٌ فَقَالَ الْقُرَشِيُّ تَقُولُ هَذَا يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ فَأَيْنَ أَفْخَاذُ قُرَيْشٍ وَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) هُوَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكَ.

H 14735 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from jahm Bin Abu Juheyma, who has narrated the following:

A slave of Abu Al-Hassanasws has said, ‘In the presence of Abu Al-Hassan Al-Musaasws was a man from Qureysh, who went on to mention the Qureysh and the Arabs. Abu Al-Hassanasws said during that; ‘Leave that! These people are three (types) – Arabs, and ‘مَوْلًى’ friends and faithless. So weasws are the Arabs, and ourasws Shites are the friends, and the one who is not upon the like of what we are on, so he is faithless’. So the Qureyshi said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Youasws are saying this, so where are the prided ones of Qureysh and the Arabs?’ So Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘It is how Iasws have said it to you’.

14736- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ سَلَّامِ بْنِ الْمُسْتَنِيرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يُحَدِّثُ إِذَا قَامَ الْقَائِمُ عَرَضَ الْإِيمَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ نَاصِبٍ فَإِنْ دَخَلَ فِيهِ بِحَقِيقَةٍ وَ إِلَّا ضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ أَوْ يُؤَدِّيَ الْجِزْيَةَ كَمَا يُؤَدِّيهَا الْيَوْمَ أَهْلُ الذِّمَّةِ وَ يَشُدُّ عَلَى وَسَطِهِ الْهِمْيَانَ وَ يُخْرِجُهُمْ مِنَ الْأَمْصَارِ إِلَى السَّوَادِ.

H 14736 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al-Ahowl, from Sallaam Bin Al-Mustaneer who said:

I heard Abu Ja’farasws narrate: ‘When Al-Qaimasws makes the stand, heasws will present the Faith to every Hostile One (Nasibi). Either they enter in it truly or else his neck would be struck, or he will have to hand over the tax just as the people under responsibility (Ahl Al-Dhimma – Christians and Jews) pay today, and tighten their waist and throw them out from the cities to the dark places’.

14737- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَبِي يَوْماً وَ عِنْدَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ مَنْ مِنْكُمْ تَطِيبُ نَفْسُهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ جَمْرَةً فِي كَفِّهِ فَيُمْسِكَهَا حَتَّى تَطْفَأَ قَالَ فَكَاعَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ وَ نَكَلُوا فَقُمْتُ وَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَةِ أَ تَأْمُرُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ إِيَّاكَ عَنَيْتُ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْكَ بَلْ إِيَّاهُمْ أَرَدْتُ

H 14737 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Muslim Bin Abu Salma, from Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Gazwaan, from Muhammad bin Bunaan, from Abu Maryam, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws says that one day myasws fatherasws said in the presence of hisasws companions: ‘Which one of you is good enough to hold a burning ember in his hand and extinguish it by squeezing it?’ All the people were silent and stressed out. So Iasws stood up and said: ‘O fatherasws! Do youasws command measws to do it?’ So heasws said: ‘It is not youasws Iasws meant, but rather, youasws are from measws and Iasws am from youasws, but it is they that Iasws have intended by it’.

قَالَ وَ كَرَّرَهَا ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَكْثَرَ الْوَصْفَ وَ أَقَلَّ الْفِعْلَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْفِعْلِ قَلِيلٌ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْفِعْلِ قَلِيلٌ أَلَا وَ إِنَّا لَنَعْرِفُ أَهْلَ الْفِعْلِ وَ الْوَصْفِ مَعاً وَ مَا كَانَ هَذَا مِنَّا تَعَامِياً عَلَيْكُمْ بَلْ لِنَبْلُوَ أَخْبَارَكُمْ وَ نَكْتُبَ آثَارَكُمْ

Heasws said: ‘And heasws repeated it thrice, then said: ‘How much is the description (talk) and how little the action. The people of action are few indeed. And weasws recognise the people of action and the description (talk) both, and this was only a pretence of blindness from usasws towards you. But, your news reaches usasws and weasws write down your impressions’.

فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا مَادَتْ بِهِمُ الْأَرْضُ حَيَاءً مِمَّا قَالَ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ مِنْهُمْ يَرْفَضُّ عَرَقاً مَا يَرْفَعُ عَيْنَيْهِ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ فَمَا أَرَدْتُ إِلَّا خَيْراً إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ دَرَجَاتٌ فَدَرَجَةُ أَهْلِ الْفِعْلِ لَا يُدْرِكُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقَوْلِ وَ دَرَجَةُ أَهْلِ الْقَوْلِ لَا يُدْرِكُهَا غَيْرُهُمْ قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَكَأَنَّمَا نُشِطُوا مِنْ عِقَالٍ.

Then heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! It is as if the earth has shaken them with the shame from what heasws had said to the extent that Iasws looked at a man from among them sweating profusely and he was not raising his head from the ground’. So when heasws saw that (situation) among them, heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you all, for Iasws have not intended except the good. In the Paradise there are Levels, so the level of the people of action cannot be understood by anyone from the people of the talk. And the Level of the people of the talk cannot be understood by others’. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, it was as if they had been released from the chains’.

14738- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصُّوفِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ بَكْرٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) لَوْ مَيَّزْتُ شِيعَتِي لَمْ أَجِدْهُمْ إِلَّا وَاصِفَةً وَ لَوِ امْتَحَنْتُهُمْ لَمَا وَجَدْتُهُمْ إِلَّا مُرْتَدِّينَ وَ لَوْ تَمَحَّصْتُهُمْ لَمَا خَلَصَ مِنَ الْأَلْفِ وَاحِدٌ وَ لَوْ غَرْبَلْتُهُمْ غَرْبَلَةً لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ لِي إِنَّهُمْ طَالَ مَا اتَّكَوْا عَلَى الْأَرَائِكِ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ شِيعَةُ عَلِيٍّ إِنَّمَا شِيعَةُ عَلِيٍّ مَنْ صَدَّقَ قَوْلَهُ فِعْلُهُ.

H 14738 – And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Ibrahim Bin Abdullah Al-Sufy from Musa Bin Bakr Al-Wasity who said:

Abu Al-Hassanasws said to me: ‘If Iasws were to distinguish myasws Shites, Iasws would not find them except for the description (talk). And if Iasws were to test them, Iasws would not find them except as apostates. And if Iasws were to scrutinise them not even one out of a thousand would escape. And if Iasws were to screen them with a screening, there would not remain from them except the one who was for measws. They have been saying for a long time, leaning upon their couches, ‘We are the Shites of Aliasws’. But rather, the Shiite of Aliasws is the one who truthful in both his actions as well as his words’.

14739- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى مَوْلَى آلِ سَامٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ تُؤْتَى بِالْمَرْأَةِ الْحَسْنَاءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّتِي قَدِ افْتُتِنَتْ فِي حُسْنِهَا فَتَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ حَسَّنْتَ خَلْقِي حَتَّى لَقِيتُ مَا لَقِيتُ فَيُجَاءُ بِمَرْيَمَ (عليها السلام) فَيُقَالُ أَنْتِ أَحْسَنُ أَوْ هَذِهِ قَدْ حَسَّنَّاهَا فَلَمْ تُفْتَتَنْ

H 14739 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysamy, from Aban Bin usman, from Abdul A’la a slave of progeny of Saam who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘On the Day of Judgement, they will bring a beautiful woman who had done Fitna (mischief) due to her beauty. So she will say, ‘O Lordazwj! Youazwj Created me beautiful until I did what I did. So they will come with Maryamas and say to her, ‘Are you more beautiful or heras? Sheas had beauty in heras but did not do Fitna (mischief)’.

وَ يُجَاءُ بِالرَّجُلِ الْحَسَنِ الَّذِي قَدِ افْتُتِنَ فِي حُسْنِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ حَسَّنْتَ خَلْقِي حَتَّى لَقِيتُ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا لَقِيتُ فَيُجَاءُ بِيُوسُفَ (عليه السلام) فَيُقَالُ أَنْتَ أَحْسَنُ أَوْ هَذَا قَدْ حَسَّنَّاهُ فَلَمْ يُفْتَتَنْ

And they would come with the handsome man who had done Fitna (mischief) due to his beauty. So he will say, ‘O Lordazwj! Youazwj Created me with beauty until I did with the women what I did. So they will bring Yusufas and say, ‘Are you more handsome or heas is? Heas had beauty but did not do Fitna (mischief)’.

وَ يُجَاءُ بِصَاحِبِ الْبَلَاءِ الَّذِي قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُ الْفِتْنَةُ فِي بَلَائِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ شَدَّدْتَ عَلَيَّ الْبَلَاءَ حَتَّى افْتُتِنْتُ فَيُؤْتَى بِأَيُّوبَ (عليه السلام) فَيُقَالُ أَ بَلِيَّتُكَ أَشَدُّ أَوْ بَلِيَّةُ هَذَا فَقَدِ ابْتُلِيَ فَلَمْ يُفْتَتَنْ.

And they will come with the afflicted person who had been involved in Ftina (mischief) due to his afflictions. So he will say, ‘O Lordazwj! The intensity of the afflictions upon me were such that I did Fitna (mischief)’. So they would come with Ayyubas. So they would say, ‘Were your afflictions more severe or hisas afflictions? Heas was in afflictions but did not do Fitna (mischief)’.

H 14740 – And by this chain, from Abaan Bin Usman, from Ismail Al-Basary who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Can you all sit in a place where you can narrate Hadith, say whatsoever you like, and distance yourselves (Tabarra) from whosoever you like, and befriend whosoever you like?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Is (luxury of) life anything other than this?’

H 14741 – Humeyd bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, from Wuheyb Bin Hafs, from Abu Baseer who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy upon a servant who makes usasws to be loveable to the people, and does not make usasws to be hateful towards them. But, by Allahazwj, they are reporting ourasws beautiful words to be honoured by it, and there is no leeway for anyone that he should attach anything to these (our wordsasws), but one of them hears the words, so he degrades the beauty of these words by ten times (by dropping ourasws words from himself)’.

14742- وُهَيْبٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْتُونَ ما آتَوْا وَ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَجِلَةٌ قَالَ هِيَ شَفَاعَتُهُمْ وَ رَجَاؤُهُمْ يَخَافُونَ أَنْ تُرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ إِنْ لَمْ يُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ يَرْجُونَ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ.

H 14742 – Wuheyb, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[23:60] And those who give that which they give with hearts afraid”, heasws said: ‘This is for their intercession, and their hopes, they (ourasws shias) fear that their (good) deeds would be rejected (and thrown) back to them if they had not obeyed (with total submission to) Allahazwj but they are hoping that these would be Accepted from ourasws (intercession)’.

14743- وُهَيْبُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَدْعُو إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ إِلَّا وَجَدَ مَنْ يُتَابِعُهُ.

H 14743 – Wuheyb Bin hafs, from Abu Baseer who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘There is none from the servants who calls to the misguidance except that he finds the one who follows him’.

14744- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَلْخَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) فِي سَفَرِهِ إِلَى خُرَاسَانَ فَدَعَا يَوْماً بِمَائِدَةٍ لَهُ فَجَمَعَ عَلَيْهَا مَوَالِيَهُ مِنَ السُّودَانِ وَ غَيْرِهِمْ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَوْ عَزَلْتَ لِهَؤُلَاءِ مَائِدَةً فَقَالَ مَهْ إِنَّ الرَّبَّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَاحِدٌ وَ الْأُمَّ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ الْأَبَ وَاحِدٌ وَ الْجَزَاءَ بِالْأَعْمَالِ.

H 14744 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Al-Salt, from a man from the people of Balkh who said:

I was with Al-Rezaasws in hisasws journey to Khurasan. One day heasws called for the spread (for a meal) to be set up for himasws. So there gathered around himasws hisasws black friends and others. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, if youasws could isolate the spread for these people’. So heasws said: ‘Muuh! (Shhhh!). The Lordazwj Blessed and High is One, and the mother is one, and the father is one, and the Recompense is by the deeds’.

14745- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ طَبَائِعُ الْجِسْمِ عَلَى أَرْبَعَةٍ فَمِنْهَا الْهَوَاءُ الَّذِي لَا تَحْيَا النَّفْسُ إِلَّا بِهِ وَ بِنَسِيمِهِ وَ يُخْرِجُ مَا فِي الْجِسْمِ مِنْ دَاءٍ وَ عُفُونَةٍ وَ الْأَرْضُ الَّتِي قَدْ تُوَلِّدُ الْيُبْسَ وَ الْحَرَارَةَ وَ الطَّعَامُ وَ مِنْهُ يَتَوَلَّدُ الدَّمُ أَ لَا تَرَى أَنَّهُ يَصِيرُ إِلَى الْمَعِدَةِ فَتُغَذِّيهِ حَتَّى يَلِينَ ثُمَّ يَصْفُوَ فَتَأْخُذُ الطَّبِيعَةُ صَفْوَهُ دَماً ثُمَّ يَنْحَدِرُ الثُّفْلُ وَ الْمَاءُ وَ هُوَ يُوَلِّدُ الْبَلْغَمَ.

H 14745 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Sinan who said:

I heard Abu Al-Hassanasws saying: ‘The body is built upon four, so from it is the air without which ‘the self’ cannot survive except by its (in and out) flow, and it takes out the diseases which are in the body and the decay, and the dirt (earth) which gives causes the dryness, and the energy (heat), and the food and from it the blood is generated. Indeed! Have you not seen that it (food) goes into the stomach, which digests it until it becomes soft, then cleans it? So the natural process takes the clean blood, then the residue descends along with the water, and it gives birth to the phlegm’.

14746- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ أَخُو مَالِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ الرَّجُلِ لِلرَّجُلِ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً مَا يَعْنِي بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ خَيْراً نَهَرٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَخْرَجُهُ مِنَ الْكَوْثَرِ وَ الْكَوْثَرَ مَخْرَجُهُ مِنْ سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ عَلَيْهِ مَنَازِلُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ عَلَى حَافَتَيْ ذَلِكَ النَّهَرِ جَوَارِي نَابِتَاتٌ كُلَّمَا قُلِعَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ نَبَتَتْ أُخْرَى سُمِّيَ بِذَلِكَ النَّهَرُ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى فِيهِنَّ خَيْراتٌ حِسانٌ فَإِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِصَاحِبِهِ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً فَإِنَّمَا يَعْنِي بِذَلِكَ تِلْكَ الْمَنَازِلَ الَّتِي قَدْ أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِصَفْوَتِهِ وَ خِيَرَتِهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ.

H 14746 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Yazeed Al-Nawfaly, from Al-Husayn Bin Ayn the brother of Malik Bin Ayn who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the words which a person would say to another person, ‘جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً’ ‘May Allahazwj Reward you with goodness (Khair)’, what is meant by it?’ So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Khair’ is a river in the Paradise, a tributary from Al-Kawsar. And Al-Kawsar comes out from the Pillar of the Throne around which are houses of the successorsasws, and theirasws Shites. On the banks of that river maids (Houries) grow. Every time one is taken, another one grows in its place, and they have been named after that river (Khair). And that is the Statement of the Highazwj: “[5:70] In them are goodly things (Khair), beautiful ones”. So if the man says to his companion, ‘May Allahazwj Reward you with goodness (Khaira)’, it means by that those dwellings which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Prepared for Hisazwj elite, and the good ones from Hisazwj creatures’.

14747- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نَهَراً حَافَتَاهُ حُورٌ نَابِتَاتٌ فَإِذَا مَرَّ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِإِحْدَيهُنَّ فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ اقْتَلَعَهَا فَأَنْبَتَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَكَانَهَا.

H 14747 – And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al-Husayn Bin Usmaan, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘In the Paradise is a river on banks of which are Houries are thriving. So if the Believer passes by one of them, and she pleases him, he uproots her (takes her away). So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Implants another one in her place’.

Abu Ja’farasws said to me one night whilst I was in hisasws presence, and heasws looked towards the sky. Heasws said: ‘O Abu Hamza! This is a dome of our father Adamas, and Allahazwj has thirty-nine others (similar ones) for those creatures who have not disobeyed Allahazwj even for the blink of an eye’.

H 14749 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from Ajlaan Abu Salih who said:

A man came up to Abu Abdullahasws, so he said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws. This here (the sky) is the dome of Adamas?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes. By Allahazwj, there are numerous domes. Indeed! Behind this West of yours are thirty-nine (other) in the West, white lands filled with creatures illuminated by its light. They have never disobeyed Allahazwj even for the blink of an eye. These creatures are not aware of the creation of Adamas, but they are distancing themselves (Tabarra) from so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar)’.

I and Al-Qasim Shureyki, and Najm Bin Hateem, and Salih Bin Sahl were at Al-Medina. So we were debating regarding the Lordship (Al-Rububiyya). So some of us said to the others, ‘What are we doing with this when we are so near to himasws, and there is none from us who is in dissimulation. Let us all go to himasws’. So we went. By Allahazwj we had not reached the door but heasws had come out towards us without shoes or gown, and all the hair on hisasws head was standing straight, and heasws was saying: ‘No! No! O Mufazzal, and O Qasim, and O Najm. No! No! But theyasws are honourable servants who do not precede Himazwj by the speech, and theyasws act in accordance with Hisazwj Commands’.

H 14753 – From him, from Salih, from Al-Washa’, from Karraam, from Abdullah Bin Talha who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the lizard, so heasws said: ‘Filthy, and it is a metamorphosed (creature), all of them. So if you were to kill it, wash yourself (Ghusl)’. Myasws father was seated in Al-Hijr, and with himasws was a man to whom heasws was narrating. So a lizard started ululating with its tongue. So myasws father said to the man: ‘Do you know what this lizard is saying?’ He said, ‘I have no knowledge of what it is saying’. Heasws said: ‘It is saying that if you mention Usman by insults, I will insult Aliasws until he goes from there’.

قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبِي لَيْسَ يَمُوتُ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ مَيِّتٌ إِلَّا مُسِخَ وَزَغاً قَالَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ لَمَّا نَزَلَ بِهِ الْمَوْتُ مُسِخَ وَزَغاً فَذَهَبَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وُلْدُهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ فَقَدُوهُ عَظُمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمْ يَدْرُوا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُونَ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعَ أَمْرُهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا جِذْعاً فَيَصْنَعُوهُ كَهَيْئَةِ الرَّجُلِ قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ وَ أَلْبَسُوا الْجِذْعَ دِرْعَ حَدِيدٍ ثُمَّ لَفُّوهُ فِي الْأَكْفَانِ فَلَمْ يَطَّلِعْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا أَنَا وَ وُلْدُهُ.

Heasws said: ‘And myasws fatherasws said: ‘There is none from the Clan of Umayya who dies, but he gets metamorphosed as a lizard. Abdul Malik Bin Marwaan, when death descended upon him, was metamorphosed into a lizard in front of the children who were in his presence. So when he was lost, that was a great (problem) for them as they did not know what to do. Then they met in a gathering, and decided to take a trunk and make it to look like a man. So they did that and clothed that with a coat of iron armour. Then they wrapped it in the shroud. So no one from the people knew about it except for myselfasws and his children’.

Abu Al-Hassan the Firstasws having said that Al-Hassanasws was the most similar, of the people, to Musa Bin Imranas from what is in between hisasws head to hisasws navel, and that Al-Husaynasws was the most similar of the people, to Musa Bin Imranas from what is in between hisasws navel to hisasws feet’.

14756- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) كَمْ كَانَ طُولُ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) حِينَ هُبِطَ بِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ كَمْ كَانَ طُولُ حَوَّاءَ قَالَ وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام)  أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمَّا أَهْبَطَ آدَمَ وَ زَوْجَتَهُ حَوَّاءَ (عليها السلام) إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَانَتْ رِجْلَاهُ بِثَنِيَّةِ الصَّفَا وَ رَأْسُهُ دُونَ أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ وَ أَنَّهُ شَكَا إِلَى اللَّهِ مَا يُصِيبُهُ مِنْ حَرِّ الشَّمْسِ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ آدَمَ قَدْ شَكَا مَا يُصِيبُهُ مِنْ حَرِّ الشَّمْسِ فَاغْمِزْهُ غَمْزَةً وَ صَيِّرْ طُولَهُ سَبْعِينَ ذِرَاعاً بِذِرَاعِهِ وَ اغْمِزْ حَوَّاءَ غَمْزَةً فَيَصِيرَ طُولُهَا خَمْسَةً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ ذِرَاعاً بِذِرَاعِهَا.

H 14756 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muqatil Bin Suleyman who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws, ‘What was the length of Adamas when heas descended to the earth, and what was the length of Hawwaas?’ Heasws said: ‘Weasws found in the Book of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws that when Allahazwj Made Adamas and hisas wife Hawwaas to the earth, hisas legs were in its twin part of Al-Safa (Al-Marwa), and hisas head was under the horizon of the sky, and heas complained to Allahazwj from the difficulty caused by the heat of the sun. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Jibraeelas that Adamas had complained from the difficulty caused from the heat of the Sun. So he compressed himas with a compression and hisas length became of seventy cubits, and he compressed Hawwaas with a compression, so heras length became of thirty five cubits’.

14757- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَصَابَ أَبَاهُ سَبْيٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ أَصَابَ أَبَاهُ سَبْيٌ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ مَا تَوَالَدَتْهُ الْعَبِيدُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ وَ أُعْتِقَ قَالَ فَقَالَ فَلْيُنْسَبْ إِلَى آبَائِهِ الْعَبِيدِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ هُوَ يُعَدُّ مِنَ الْقَبِيلَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ أَبُوهُ سُبِيَ فِيهَا إِنْ كَانَ [أَبُوهُ] مَعْرُوفاً فِيهِمْ وَ يَرِثُهُمْ وَ يَرِثُونَهُ.

H 14757 – From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about a man whose father had been made a captive in the era of Ignorance, so he never knew that he was a son whose father was made a captive in the era of ignorance until after he had been born a slave in Al-Islam and had been freed’. So heasws said: ‘His lineage is to his enslaved father in Al-Islam, then he would be counted from the tribe which his father was enslaved in, that he was known to be from them, and he will inherit from them and they will inherit from him’.

14758- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَعْطَى الْمُؤْمِنَ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ الْعِزَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْفَلْجَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْمَهَابَةَ فِي صُدُورِ الظَّالِمِينَ.

H 14758 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Abdul Momin Al-Ansary, who has narrated:

Abu Ja’farasws having said that: ‘Allahazwj has Granted three characteristics to the Believer – the honour in the world and the Hereafter, and the success in the world and the Hereafter, and the prestige in front of the unjust ones’.

14759- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ ثَلَاثٌ هُنَّ فَخْرُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ زَيْنُهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ وَ يَأْسُهُ مِمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَ وَلَايَتُهُ الْإِمَامَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) قَالَ وَ ثَلَاثَةٌ هُمْ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ ابْتُلِيَ بِهِمْ خِيَارُ الْخَلْقِ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ أَحَدُهُمْ قَاتَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَادَاهُ وَ مُعَاوِيَةُ قَاتَلَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) وَ عَادَاهُ وَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ قَاتَلَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ عَادَاهُ حَتَّى قَتَلَهُ.

H 14759 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying; ‘Three things are a matter of pride for the Believer and an adornment of him in the world and the Hereafter – The Prayer during the last part of the night, and his dejection from what is in the hands of the people, and his Wilayah of the Imamasws from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww. And the three who are the most evil of the creatures by whom the people were plagued, are Abu Sufyan who fought against the Rasool Allahsaww during his era and was inimical to himsaww, and Muawiya fought against Aliasws and was inimical to himasws, and Yazeed Bin Muawiya, may Allahazwj Curse himla, fought against Al-Husayn Bin Aliasws, and was inimical to himasws until hela killed himasws’.

14760- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَا حَسَبَ لِقُرَشِيٍّ وَ لَا لِعَرَبِيٍّ إِلَّا بِتَوَاضُعٍ وَ لَا كَرَمَ إِلَّا بِتَقْوَى وَ لَا عَمَلَ إِلَّا بِالنِّيَّةِ وَ لَا عِبَادَةَ إِلَّا بِالتَّفَقُّهِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ أَبْغَضَ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَنْ يَقْتَدِي بِسُنَّةِ إِمَامٍ وَ لَا يَقْتَدِي بِأَعْمَالِهِ.

H 14760 – Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al-Thumaly, who has narrated:

Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws has said: ‘There is no nobility for the Qureysh, nor for the Arabs except by humbleness, and there is no prestige except by piety, and there are no deeds except by the intention, and there is no worship except by the understanding. Indeed! The most hateful of the people to Allahazwj is the one who emulates the Sunnah of an Imamasws but does not emulate himasws in his deeds’.

14761- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ عَنْ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ يَزِيدَ بْنَ مُعَاوِيَةَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ الْحَجَّ فَبَعَثَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ أَ تُقِرُّ لِي أَنَّكَ عَبْدٌ لِي إِنْ شِئْتُ بِعْتُكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُ اسْتَرْقَيْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ اللَّهِ يَا يَزِيدُ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَكْرَمَ مِنِّي فِي قُرَيْشٍ حَسَباً وَ لَا كَانَ أَبُوكَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ أَبِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَا أَنْتَ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنِّي فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَا بِخَيْرٍ مِنِّي فَكَيْفَ أُقِرُّ لَكَ بِمَا سَأَلْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ إِنْ لَمْ تُقِرَّ لِي وَ اللَّهِ قَتَلْتُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ لَيْسَ قَتْلُكَ إِيَّايَ بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْ قَتْلِكَ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ

H 14761 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said:

I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying that: ‘Yazeed Bin Muawiyala entered Al-Medina and he wanted to perform the Pilgrimage. So hela sent for a man from Qureysh who came to him. So Yazeedla said to him, ‘Do you accept that you are myla slave, and if Ila wish Ila can sell you, and if Ila wish Ila can promote you?’ So the man said to himla, ‘Youla are no more prestigious than me among the Qureysh in nobility, nor was yourla father more preferable than my father during the era of ignorance and Al-Islam, and neither are youla more preferable than me in the Religion, nor better than me. So how can I accept what youla are asking of me?’ So Yazeedla said to him, ‘By Allahazwj! If you do not accept mela, Ila shall kill you’. So the man said to himla, ‘Yourla killing me would not be greater than yourla killing of Al-Husayn Bin Aliasws the sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww’. So hela ordered that he be killed, may Allah Curse himla’. 

حَدِيثُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) مَعَ يَزِيدَ

Hadith of Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws with Yazeedla

ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِهِ لِلْقُرَشِيِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ أُقِرَّ لَكَ أَ لَيْسَ تَقْتُلُنِي كَمَا قَتَلْتَ الرَّجُلَ بِالْأَمْسِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ بَلَى فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) قَدْ أَقْرَرْتُ لَكَ بِمَا سَأَلْتَ أَنَا عَبْدٌ مُكْرَهٌ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَمْسِكْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَبِعْ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَزِيدُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ أَوْلَى لَكَ حَقَنْتَ دَمَكَ وَ لَمْ يَنْقُصْكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَرَفِكَ.

Then hela sent for Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws. So hela said to himasws similar to what hela had said to the Qureyshi. Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said to himla: ‘Do youla see that if Iasws do not accept youla, youla kill measws just as youla killed the man yesterday?’ Yazeedla, may Allahazwj Curse himla said to himasws, ‘Yes’. So Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said to himla: ‘Iasws have accepted to youla with what youla asked. Iasws am a humble slave (of Allahazwj), so if youla wish captivate measws or if youla wish, release me’. So Yazeedla may Allahazwj Curse himla said to himasws, ‘It is of a higher level (referring to the one whom hela had killed the day before) even if I (kill) or spare yourasws blood it would not reduce yourasws nobility’.

14762- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ لِي جَارَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا نَاصِبٌ وَ الْآخَرُ زَيْدِيٌّ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ مُعَاشَرَتِهِمَا فَمَنْ أُعَاشِرُ فَقَالَ هُمَا سِيَّانِ مَنْ كَذَّبَ بِآيَةٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ نَبَذَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ وَ هُوَ الْمُكَذِّبُ بِجَمِيعِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا نَصَبَ لَكَ وَ هَذَا الزَّيْدِيُّ نَصَبَ لَنَا.

H 14762 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Saalim Bin Abu Salma Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Gazwaan, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira who said:

I said to Abu Al-Hassanasws that, ‘I have two neighbours, one of them is a Hostile one (Nasibi) and one is a Zaydiite (A sect) and it is necessary to keep relations with them, so whom shall I keep relations with?’ So heasws said: ‘They are both the same. The one who belies the Verses from the Book of Allahazwj, so he has thrown Al-Islam behind his back and he has belied the whole of the Quran, and the Prophetsas, and the Messengersas’. Then heasws said: ‘This one is hostile to you, and this Zaydiite is hostile to usasws’.

14763- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَنْ قَعَدَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ يُسَبُّ فِيهِ إِمَامٌ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى الِانْتِصَافِ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ أَلْبَسَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الذُّلَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ عَذَّبَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ سَلَبَهُ صَالِحَ مَا مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِنَا.

H 14763 – Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Al-Qasim Bin Urwat, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara, from his father, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said; ‘The one who sits in a gathering in which an Imamasws from the Imamsasws is insulted, and he has the ability to remedy that and he does not do so, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Clothe him in disgrace in the world and Punish him in the Hereafter, and would Confiscate the benefit which he has from ourasws understanding (Ma’rifat)’.

14764- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَخِي أَبِي شِبْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي شِبْلٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا وَ أَبْغَضَنَا النَّاسُ وَ صَدَّقْتُمُونَا وَ كَذَّبَنَا النَّاسُ وَ وَصَلْتُمُونَا وَ جَفَانَا النَّاسُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ مَحْيَاكُمْ مَحْيَانَا وَ مَمَاتَكُمْ مَمَاتَنَا أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُقِرَّ اللَّهُ عَيْنَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ فَمَدَّ الْجِلْدَةَ

H 14764 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ibrahim Bin Akhay Abu Shabl, from Abu Shabl who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said to me initiating a conversation: ‘You have loved usasws whilst the people have hated usasws, and you have ratified usasws whilst the people have belied usasws, and you have submitted to usasws whilst the people have been disloyal to usasws. So Allahazwj has Made your lives to be ourasws, and your deaths to be like ourasws passing away. But, by Allahazwj, there is nothing between the man and the delight which Allahazwj has kept for him except for the soul to reach this place’ – and heasws gestured with hisasws to hisasws throat and extended the skin.

ثُمَّ أَعَادَ ذَلِكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا رَضِيَ حَتَّى حَلَفَ لِي فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَحَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) بِذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا شِبْلٍ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُصَلُّوا وَ يُصَلُّوا فَيُقْبَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُزَكُّوا وَ يُزَكُّوا فَيُقْبَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تَحُجُّوا وَ يَحُجُّوا فَيَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا يَقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تُقْبَلُ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا الزَّكَاةُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ وَ لَا الْحَجُّ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ

Then heasws repeated that, so by Allahazwj, heasws was not happy until heasws took an oath to me, so heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj besides Whom there is no god except for Himazwj, myasws fatherasws Muhammad Bin Aliasws narrated that to me. O Abu Shabl! Are you not happy that you pray, and they pray, so it is accepted from you and it’s not accepted from them? Are you not happy that you give zakat, and they give zakat, so it is accepted from you and it’s not accepted from them? Are you not happy that you perform the pilgrimage and they perform the pilgrimage, so Allahazwj Accepts from you and does not Accept from them? By Allahazwj! The prayer is not accepted except from you, nor the zakat except from you, nor the pilgrimage except from you’.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي هُدْنَةٍ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَةَ فَإِذَا تَمَيَّزَ النَّاسُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ ذَهَبَ كُلُّ قَوْمٍ بِهَوَاهُمْ وَ ذَهَبْتُمْ بِالْحَقِّ مَا أَطَعْتُمُونَا أَ لَيْسَ الْقُضَاةُ وَ الْأُمَرَاءُ وَ أَصْحَابُ الْمَسَائِلِ مِنْهُمْ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ (عليه السلام) فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَا تُطِيقُونَ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ إِنَّ النَّاسَ أَخَذُوا هَاهُنَا وَ هَاهُنَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ حَيْثُ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اخْتَارَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَاخْتَرْتُمْ خِيَرَةَ اللَّهِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْأَبْيَضِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَرُورِيّاً وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَامِيّاً.

So fear Allahazwj for you are in a truce and fulfil the trusts for it is an excellent (merit) of the people. So fulfil that. All the people went according to their desires and you went with the truth in what you obeyed usasws. Is it not that the judges, and the rulers, and the problem solvers (those who would give fatwa) are among them?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘So fear Allahazwj for you will not be able to tolerate all these people. The people take from here and there, and you are taking from where Allahazwj has Told you to take from. Allahazwj Chose Muhammadsaww from Hisazwj servants, so you have chosen the Choice of Allahazwj. So fear Allahazwj and fulfil the trusts to the black and the white, even if he was a Haruriyya (a sect) or if he was a Syrian’.

H 14766 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammaad Bin Abu Talha, from Muaz Bin Kaseer who said:

I looked towards the pausing station (during the Pilgrimage) and there were a lot of people in it. So I approached Abu Abdullahasws and said to himasws that, ‘The people at the Pausing station are so many (in numbers)’. Heasws look around and pondered over them, then said: ‘Come closer to measws, O Abu Abdullah, this is scum which the waves have brought from every place. No, by Allahazwj! There is no Pilgrimage except for you all. By Allahazwj, Allahazwj will not Accept except from you’.

H 14767 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad La Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Washa, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer who said:

I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws when Umm Khalid, who had been cut off by Yusuf Bin Umar, came up and sought permission to see himasws. So Abu Abdullahasws said; ‘Would it please you to hear her words?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘As for now, give permission to her’. And heasws made me sit on settee along with himasws’.

ثُمَّ دَخَلَتْ فَتَكَلَّمَتْ فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ بَلِيغَةٌ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهَا تَوَلَّيْهِمَا قَالَتْ فَأَقُولُ لِرَبِّي إِذَا لَقِيتُهُ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِوَلَايَتِهِمَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي مَعَكَ عَلَى الطِّنْفِسَةِ يَأْمُرُنِي بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمَا وَ كَثِيرٌ النَّوَّاءُ يَأْمُرُنِي بِوَلَايَتِهِمَا فَأَيُّهُمَا خَيْرٌ وَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ النَّوَّاءِ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ إِنَّ هَذَا يُخَاصِمُ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْكافِرُونَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ.

Then she came in, and she spoke. She was an eloquent woman. So she asked about the two of them. So heasws said: ‘Consider them as friends. She said, ‘So shalI I say to my Lordazwj when I meet Himazwj that youasws have ordered me to befriend these two?’ So heasws said: ‘Yes’. She said, ‘This one who is with youasws upon the settee has ordered me to distance myself from those two, and Kusayr Al-Nawaa has ordered me to befriend those two. So which one is better and more beloved to youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! This one is more beloved to measws than Kusayr Al-Nawaa and his companions. This one here debates by saying: “[5:44] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unbelievers” “[5:45] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the unjust.” “[5:47] and whoever did not judge by what Allah revealed, those are they that are the transgressors”.’

H 14768 – From him, from Al-Moala, from Al-Hassan, from Aban, from Abu hashim who said:

When they came out with Aliasws, Fatimaasws also came out having placed the shirt of the Rasool Allahsaww upon herasws head, taking herasws two sonsasws by the hand. So sheasws said: ‘What is it between measws and you, O Abu Bakr that you want to orphan myasws two sonsasws and widow measws from myasws husbandasws? By Allahazwj! Had it not been a sin, Iasws would have released myasws hair and cried out to myasws Lordazwj!’ So a man from the people said, ‘What do you want (from all) this?’ Then sheasws took himasws (Aliasws) by hisasws hand and left with himasws’.

H 14769 – Abaan, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz, from Abdul Hameed Al-Ta’any, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws has said; ‘By Allahazwj! Had sheasws spread herasws hair, they would have all died’.

H 14770 – Abaan, from Ibn Abu Ya’four who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The one of adulterous birth should (also) perform deeds. If his deeds are good he would be Recompensated for it, and if his deeds are evil he would be Recompensed for it’.

H 14771 – Abaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww came out of hissaww chamber, and Marwaan and his father were both trying to listen to hissaww narration. So hesaww said for him: ‘The lizard, son of a lizard!’ Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘From that time they are reporting that the lizard listens to the narrations’.

14772- أَبَانٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ لَمَّا وُلِدَ مَرْوَانُ عَرَضُوا بِهِ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لَهُ فَأَرْسَلُوا بِهِ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ لِيَدْعُوَ لَهُ فَلَمَّا قَرَّبَتْهُ مِنْهُ قَالَ أَخْرِجُوا عَنِّي الْوَزَغَ ابْنَ الْوَزَغِ قَالَ زُرَارَةُ وَ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ وَ لَعَنَهُ.

H 14772 – Abaan, from Zurara who said:

I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying; ‘When Marwan was born, they presented him to the Rasool Allahsaww to supplicate for him. So they went with him to Ayesha so that (Prophetsaww would) supplicate for him. So when she went near him, hesaww said, ‘Take him away from me, the lizard son of the lizard’. Zurara (the narrator) said, ‘And I don’t know (more but) except that hesaww said it, and cursed him (Marwan)’.

14773- أَبَانٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الْمَكِّيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ عُمَرَ لَقِيَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقْرَأُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ بِأَيِّكُمُ الْمَفْتُونُ تَعَرُّضاً بِي وَ بِصَاحِبِي قَالَ أَ فَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِآيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ فِي بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ تُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحامَكُمْ فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ أَوْصَلُ لِلرَّحِمِ مِنْكَ وَ لَكِنَّكَ أَبَيْتَ إِلَّا عَدَاوَةً لِبَنِي تَيْمٍ وَ عَدِيٍّ وَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ.

H 14773 – Abaan, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Abdullah, from Abu Al-Abbas Al-Makky who said:

I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying that: ‘Umar met Amir-ul-Momineenasws and said, ‘Youasws are the one who recites this Verse: “[68:6] Which of you is afflicted with madness”, applying it to me and my companion (abu Bakr)’. Heasws said: ‘Shall Iasws not inform you of the Verse which Descended regarding the Clan of Umayya: “[47:22] But if you held command, you were sure to make mischief in the land and cut off the ties of kinship!”. So he said, ‘Youasws are lying. The Clan of Umayya establish more ties of kinship than youasws do, but youasws are most insistent upon enmity to the Clan of Taym (Abu Bakr’s tribe) and Udayy (Umar’s tribe), and the Clan of Umayya’.

H 14774 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Aliasws used to stand in the first downpour when it rained, to the extent that hisasws head, and hisasws beard, and hisasws clothes would get wet. So it was said to himasws, ‘O Amir-ul-Momineenasws! Take shelter, take shelter!’ So heasws would say that: ‘This is water from near the Throne’.

ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ بَحْراً فِيهِ مَاءٌ يُنْبِتُ أَرْزَاقَ الْحَيَوَانَاتِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ أَنْ يُنْبِتَ بِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ لَهُمْ رَحْمَةً مِنْهُ لَهُمْ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ فَمَطَرَ مَا شَاءَ مِنْ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى سَمَاءٍ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ إِلَى سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فِيمَا أَظُنُّ فَيُلْقِيَهُ إِلَى السَّحَابِ وَ السَّحَابُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْغِرْبَالِ ثُمَّ يُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَى الرِّيحِ أَنِ اطْحَنِيهِ وَ أَذِيبِيهِ ذَوَبَانَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ انْطَلِقِي بِهِ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَامْطُرِي عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَكُونَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا عُبَاباً وَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ

Then heasws went on to narrate: ‘Underneath the Throne there is an ocean in which there is water which makes the sustenance of the animals to grow. So if Allahazwj Intends that Heazwj should Make to grow whatever that Heazwj so Desires to for them as a Mercy for them, Allahazwj Reveals to it. So it rains from sky to sky until it comes to the sky of the world to the clouds. And the clouds are at the status of the sieve. Then Allahazwj Reveals to the wind to grind it and melt it, dissolving the water. Then it takes it to such and such a place and pours upon it. So that becomes such and such a torrent and other than that.

فَتَقْطُرُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يَأْمُرُهَا بِهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ قَطْرَةٍ تَقْطُرُ إِلَّا وَ مَعَهَا مَلَكٌ حَتَّى يَضَعَهَا مَوْضِعَهَا وَ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ قَطْرَةٌ مِنْ مَطَرٍ إِلَّا بِعَدَدٍ مَعْدُودٍ وَ وَزْنٍ مَعْلُومٍ إِلَّا مَا كَانَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الطُّوفَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ نُوحٍ (عليه السلام) فَإِنَّهُ نَزَلَ مَاءٌ مُنْهَمِرٌ بِلَا وَزْنٍ وَ لَا عَدَدٍ قَالَ

Thus, it rains upon the area which it had been Ordered to. There is no drop from the drops except that there is an Angel with it until he places it in a particular place. There does not descend a drop from the sky except that it is numbered precisely and is of a known weight, except when it was the day of the storm in the era of Noahas, on that day it poured without measurement or number’.

وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ أَبِي (عليه السلام) قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ السَّحَابَ غَرَابِيلَ لِلْمَطَرِ هِيَ تُذِيبُ الْبَرَدَ حَتَّى يَصِيرَ مَاءً لِكَيْ لَا يُضِرَّ بِهِ شَيْئاً يُصِيبُهُ الَّذِي تَرَوْنَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْبَرَدِ وَ الصَّوَاعِقِ نَقِمَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُصِيبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَا تُشِيرُوا إِلَى الْمَطَرِ وَ لَا إِلَى الْهِلَالِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَكْرَهُ ذَلِكَ.

And Abu Abdullahasws narrated to me saying: ‘Myasws father said to measws, that Amir-ul-Momineenasws said, that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Made the cloud to be as a sieve for the rain, and the sleet melts until it becomes water, not harming anything by it. The harm is what you see from the sleet and the lightning as a Wrath from Allahazwj Harming whosoever Heazwj so desires from Hisazwj servants’. Then heasws said: ‘Then the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Do not point (accuse) the rain or the crescent, for Allahazwj Abhors that’.

H 14775 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat with an unbroken chain, said:

Amir-ul-Momineenasws wrote to Ibn Abbas: ‘Having said that, what has made the person happy is what he did not miss, and grieved for what he never could have got, ever. The efforts that you have made should make you happy with what you have sent forward from the righteous deeds, or Judgement, or speech, and it is to your regret regarding what you have neglected from that. And leave what you have missed from the world and do not grieve a lot for it. And what you have got from it, do not enjoy in its delight, but ponder over what comes after the death. With greetings’.

H 14776 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Karraam, from Abu Al-Saamat, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Iasws and Abu Ja’farasws passed by the Shites whilst they were in between the Grave and the Pulpit (of the Rasool Allahsaww). So Iasws said to Abu Ja’farasws: ‘May Iasws be sacrificed for youasws, these are yourasws Shites and yourasws friends’. Heasws said: ‘Where are they?’ Iasws said: ‘In between the Grave and the Pulpit’. Heasws said: ‘So come with measws to them’. So heasws went and greeted them, then said: ‘Iasws love your aromas, and your souls, so support this with piety and struggle. What is with Allahazwj cannot be achieved except by piety and struggle, and if you follow a servant (an Imamasws), so follow him (emulate hisasws deeds). But, by Allahazwj, all of you are upon myasws Religion, and the Religion of myasws forefather Ibrahimas and Ismailas, and if these were upon a Religion so they supported this by piety and struggle’.

H 14777 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-kufy, from Al-Abbas Bin Aamir, from Al-Rabi’e Bin Muhammad Al-Muslyy, from Abu Al-Rabi’e who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘When our Qaimasws makes a stand, Allahazwj will extend the hearing of ourasws Shites, and their vision to the extent that there will not be a postman in between them and Al-Qaimasws. They will be speaking, and hearing, and visualising himasws and heasws would be in Mecca’.

H 14779 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Dawood Bin Mahraan, from Ali Bin Ismail Al-Maysamy, from a man from Juweyriyya Bin Mus’har who said:

I hurried behind Amir-ul-Momineenasws, so heasws said to me: ‘O Juweyriyya! Those idiots were not destroyed except by the sound of the shoes behind them which followed them’. I said, ‘I came to ask youasws about three – about the nobility, and the chivalry, and the intellect’. Heasws said: ‘As for the nobility, so the one whom ‘السُّلْطَانُ’ Allahazwj has Ennobled, is noble, and as for the chivalrous, so it is the righteous means for living, and as for the intellect, so the one who fears Allahazwj is the intellectual’.

H 14780 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassaan, from Ali Bin Abu Al-Nawaar, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

I said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws. Which is that thing which makes the sun to be hotter than the moon?’ So heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Created the sun from the light of the fire and clearness of the water, a layer from this and a layer from this until there were seven layers, then clothed it with a clothing from the fire. Then it became hotter than the moon’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you, and the moon?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Created the moon from the illumination of the light of the fire and clearness of the water, a layer from this and a layer from this until there were seven layers, then clothed it in a clothing of water, so the moon became colder than the sun’.

14781- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْهَيْثَمِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَقِيقَةٌ ثَابِتَةٌ لَمْ يَقُمْ عَلَى شُبْهَةٍ هَامِدَةٍ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ مُنْتَهَى الْغَايَةِ وَ يَطْلُبَ الْحَادِثَ مِنَ النَّاطِقِ عَنِ الْوَارِثِ وَ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ جَهِلْتُمْ مَا أَنْكَرْتُمْ وَ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَرَفْتُمْ مَا أَبْصَرْتُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ.

H 14781 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from one of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Al-Haysam, from Zayd Abu Al-Hassan who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The one for whom the facts are established will never stand upon lifeless doubts. He will not stop until he comes to know the ultimate goal, and seeks the (explanation for) the newly emerging issues from the one who speaks from the inheritorsasws, and for which thing you are ignorant of, what you have denied, and by which thing you have come to recognise what you have visualised, if you are Believers’.

14782- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لَيْسَ مِنْ بَاطِلٍ يَقُومُ بِإِزَاءِ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا غَلَبَ الْحَقُّ الْبَاطِلَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَلْ نَقْذِفُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَى الْباطِلِ فَيَدْمَغُهُ فَإِذا هُوَ زاهِقٌ.

H 14782 – From him, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahmaan with an unbroken chain, said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘There is nothing from the falsehood which can stand up to the truth, but the truth will overcome the falsehood, and this is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic; “[21:18] Nay! We cast the truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and lo! it vanishes”.

14783- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُرْسَلًا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لَا تَتَّخِذُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَلِيجَةً فَلَا تَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّ كُلَّ سَبَبٍ وَ نَسَبٍ وَ قَرَابَةٍ وَ وَلِيجَةٍ وَ بِدْعَةٍ وَ شُبْهَةٍ مُنْقَطِعٌ مُضْمَحِلٌّ كَمَا يَضْمَحِلُّ الْغُبَارُ الَّذِي يَكُونُ عَلَى الْحَجَرِ الصَّلْدِ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ الْمَطَرُ الْجَوْدُ إِلَّا مَا أَثْبَتَهُ الْقُرْآنُ.

H 14783 – From him, from his father, said:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Do not take anyone other than Allahazwj as a confidant or else you will not remain a ‘Momin’ (Believer), for every reason, and lineage, and relationships, and confidants, and innovations, and doubts will be cut off. These will disappear like the dust which is upon a solid rock which disappears when abundant rain falls on it, except for what has been established by the Quran’.

14784- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام)  قَالَ نَحْنُ أَصْلُ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ مِنْ فُرُوعِنَا كُلُّ بِرٍّ فَمِنَ الْبِرِّ التَّوْحِيدُ وَ الصَّلَاةُ وَ الصِّيَامُ وَ كَظْمُ الْغَيْظِ وَ الْعَفْوُ عَنِ الْمُسِي‏ءِ وَ رَحْمَةُ الْفَقِيرِ وَ تَعَهُّدُ الْجَارِ وَ الْإِقْرَارُ بِالْفَضْلِ لِأَهْلِهِ

H 14784 – Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammaad, from Ibn Muskaan, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘Weasws are the origin of every good, and from ourasws branches is every righteousness, So, from the righteousness is ‘التَّوْحِيدُ’ Oneness (Al-Tauheed), and the Prayer, and the Fasts, and suppression of the anger, and the pardoning others, and being merciful to the poor, and being helpful to the neighbour, and accepting the preference of the deserving ones.

وَ عَدُوُّنَا أَصْلُ كُلِّ شَرٍّ وَ مِنْ فُرُوعِهِمْ كُلُّ قَبِيحٍ وَ فَاحِشَةٍ فَمِنْهُمُ الْكَذِبُ وَ الْبُخْلُ وَ النَّمِيمَةُ وَ الْقَطِيعَةُ وَ أَكْلُ الرِّبَا وَ أَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ بِغَيْرِ حَقِّهِ وَ تَعَدِّي الْحُدُودِ الَّتِي أَمَرَ اللَّهُ وَ رُكُوبُ الْفَوَاحِشِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ وَ الزِّنَا وَ السَّرِقَةُ وَ كُلُّ مَا وَافَقَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْقَبِيحِ فَكَذَبَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مَعَنَا وَ هُوَ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِفُرُوعِ غَيْرِنَا.

And ourasws enemies are the origin of every evil, and from their branches is every ugliness and immorality. So, from these is the lie, and the niggardliness, and the slander, and the cutting-off (relationships), and consumption of the interest, and consumption of the wealth of the orphans without right, and infringement of the limits of the Commands of Allahazwj, commission of the immoral acts, the apparent from it as well as the hidden, and the adultery, and the theft, and every that which is consistent with that from the ugliness. So he has lied, the one who thinks he is with usasws whilst he attaches himself to the branches of others (which are) rather than oursasws’.

14785- عَنْهُ وَ عَنْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ اقْنَعْ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَ لَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَا عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ وَ لَا تَتَمَنَّ مَا لَسْتَ نَائِلَهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَنِعَ شَبِعَ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَقْنَعْ لَمْ يَشْبَعْ وَ خُذْ حَظَّكَ مِنْ آخِرَتِكَ

H 14785 – From him, and from someone else, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Usman Bin Isa, from Khalid Bin Najeeh, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said to a man: ‘Be content with what Allahazwj has Distributed to you, and do not look at what is in the possession of others, and do not covet what cannot be achieved, for the one who is content, he is satisfied, and the one who is not content is not at ease, and take your share from the Hereafter’.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنْفَعُ الْأَشْيَاءِ لِلْمَرْءِ سَبْقُهُ النَّاسَ إِلَى عَيْبِ نَفْسِهِ وَ أَشَدُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مَئُونَةً إِخْفَاءُ الْفَاقَةِ وَ أَقَلُّ الْأَشْيَاءِ غَنَاءً النَّصِيحَةُ لِمَنْ لَا يَقْبَلُهَا وَ مُجَاوَرَةُ الْحَرِيصِ وَ أَرْوَحُ الرَّوْحِ الْيَأْسُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ قَالَ لَا تَكُنْ ضَجِراً وَ لَا غَلِقاً وَ ذَلِّلْ نَفْسَكَ بِاحْتِمَالِ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكَ وَ مَنْ لَهُ الْفَضْلُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّمَا أَقْرَرْتَ بِفَضْلِهِ لِئَلَّا تُخَالِفَهُ وَ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفْ لِأَحَدٍ الْفَضْلَ فَهُوَ الْمُعْجَبُ بِرَأْيِهِ

And Abu Abdullahasws said; ‘The most beneficial for the person is his precedence in finding faults with himself before (finding) the faults in others, and the most difficult thing is hiding the hunger, and the least of the (beneficial) things is the advice to the one who does not accept it and being in the neighbourhood of the greedy, and the most comforting of the comforts is in having despaired from the people’. And heasws said: ‘Do not be irritating or ill-mannered and humble yourself by bearing the one who opposes you, and the one who is above you, and the one who has a preference over you, and accept the preference of the one who is opposed to you. The one who does not accept the preference of others would be ‘الْمُعْجَبُ بِرَأْيِهِ’ self-conceited’.

وَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا عِزَّ لِمَنْ لَا يَتَذَلَّلُ لِلَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ لَا رِفْعَةَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَتَوَاضَعْ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ أَحْكِمْ أَمْرَ دِينِكَ كَمَا أَحْكَمَ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا أَمْرَ دُنْيَاهُمْ فَإِنَّمَا جُعِلَتِ الدُّنْيَا شَاهِداً يُعْرَفُ بِهَا مَا غَابَ عَنْهَا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ فَاعْرِفِ الْآخِرَةَ بِهَا وَ لَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا بِالِاعْتِبَارِ.

And heasws said to a man: ‘Know, that he has no honour, the one who does not humble himself to Allahazwj and no elevation for the one who does not humble himself before Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. And heasws said to a man: ‘Organise the affairs of your Religion just as the people of the world organise the affairs of their world. So the world has been Made as a witness by which the hidden matters of the Hereafter can be recognised. So recognise the Hereafter by it and do not look to the world except with a view to take a lesson from it’.

14786- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ لِحُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ يَا حُمْرَانُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ دُونَكَ فِي الْمَقْدُرَةِ وَ لَا تَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكَ فِي الْمَقْدُرَةِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَقْنَعُ لَكَ بِمَا قُسِمَ لَكَ وَ أَحْرَى أَنْ تَسْتَوْجِبَ الزِّيَادَةَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْعَمَلَ الدَّائِمَ الْقَلِيلَ عَلَى الْيَقِينِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ الْكَثِيرِ عَلَى غَيْرِ يَقِينٍ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا وَرَعَ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ تَجَنُّبِ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ وَ الْكَفِّ عَنْ أَذَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ اغْتِيَابِهِمْ وَ لَا عَيْشَ أَهْنَأُ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ وَ لَا مَالَ أَنْفَعُ مِنَ الْقُنُوعِ بِالْيَسِيرِ الْمُجْزِي وَ لَا جَهْلَ أَضَرُّ مِنَ الْعُجْبِ.

H 14786 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father altogether, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Saalim who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying to Humraan Bin Ayn: ‘O Humraan! Look to the one who is below you in the capability, and do not look at the one who is above you in the capability, for that would be contentment for you with what Allahazwj has Distributed for you, and you would be more likely to receive more from your Lordazwj.

And know that a small amount of deeds with certainty are more preferable in the Presence of Allahazwj than the numerous deeds performed without certainty. And know that there is no devoutness which is more beneficial than avoiding the Prohibitions of Allahazwj and the restraint from hurting the Believers and back-biting against them, and no life more enjoyable than good manners, and no wealth more beneficial than contentment with less, and no ignorance more harmful than ‘الْعُجْبِ’ the self-conceit’.

14787- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَجُلًا جَاءَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي إِنْ كُنْتَ عَالِماً عَنِ النَّاسِ وَ عَنْ أَشْبَاهِ النَّاسِ وَ عَنِ النَّسْنَاسِ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) يَا حُسَيْنُ أَجِبِ الرَّجُلَ فَقَالَ الْحُسَيْنُ (عليه السلام) أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ النَّاسِ فَنَحْنُ النَّاسُ وَ لِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفاضَ النَّاسُ فَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الَّذِي أَفَاضَ بِالنَّاسِ

H 14787 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from his father Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab who said:

I heard Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws saying that: ‘A man went to Amir-ul-Momineenasws and said, ‘Inform me, if youasws are knowledgeable, about the people, and about those who resemble the people, and about the Nasnaas’. So Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘O Husaynasws, answer the man’. So Al-Husaynasws said: ‘As for your word, ‘Inform me about the people’, so weasws are the people, and that is what Allahazwj Says in Hisazwj Book: “[2:199] Then hasten on from the Place from which the people hasten on”, so it is the Rasool Allahsaww so hesaww is the onesaww about whom people should come forward.

وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ أَشْبَاهُ النَّاسِ فَهُمْ شِيعَتُنَا وَ هُمْ مَوَالِينَا وَ هُمْ مِنَّا وَ لِذَلِكَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَمَنْ تَبِعَنِي فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ النَّسْنَاسُ فَهُمُ السَّوَادُ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى جَمَاعَةِ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا.

And as for your word, ‘Resembling the people’, so they are ourasws Shites, and they are ourasws friends, and they are from usasws, and that is what Ibrahimas said: “[14:36] then whoever follows me, he is surely of me, and whoever disobeys me”. And as for your words, ‘The Nasnaas’, so they are the vast majority’ – and heasws gestured by hisasws hand towards a group of the people, then said: ‘[25:44] They are nothing but as cattle; nay, they are straying farther off from the path”.

14788- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ مَا تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهُمَا فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا مَاتَ مِنَّا مَيِّتٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا سَاخِطاً عَلَيْهِمَا وَ مَا مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ إِلَّا سَاخِطاً عَلَيْهِمَا يُوصِي بِذَلِكَ الْكَبِيرُ مِنَّا الصَّغِيرَ إِنَّهُمَا ظَلَمَانَا حَقَّنَا وَ مَنَعَانَا فَيْئَنَا وَ كَانَا أَوَّلَ مَنْ رَكِبَ أَعْنَاقَنَا وَ بَثَقَا عَلَيْنَا بَثْقاً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَا يُسْكَرُ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَقُومَ قَائِمُنَا أَوْ يَتَكَلَّمَ مُتَكَلِّمُنَا

H 14788 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from hanaan Bin Sudeyr, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Hanaan Bin Sudeyr, from his father who said:

I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the two (Abu Bakr and Umar), so heasws said: ‘O Abu Al-Fazl, don’t ask me about these two, for by Allahazwj, no one from among usasws passes away at all except being angry against these two, and there is none from usasws today except that heasws is angry at them. The old ones bequeath it to the young ones from usasws. These two have been unjust to usasws for ourasws rights, and prevented usasws from ourasws Fey (Spoils of War – Khums), and first one rode upon ourasws necks, and caused damage to usasws with a damage in Al-Islam which can never be repaired ever until ourasws Qaimasws makes a stand and speaks ourasws speech’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ قَدْ قَامَ قَائِمُنَا أَوْ تَكَلَّمَ مُتَكَلِّمُنَا لَأَبْدَى مِنْ أُمُورِهِمَا مَا كَانَ يُكْتَمُ وَ لَكَتَمَ مِنْ أُمُورِهِمَا مَا كَانَ يُظْهَرُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أُسِّسَتْ مِنْ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ لَا قَضِيَّةٍ تَجْرِي عَلَيْنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا هُمَا أَسَّسَا أَوَّلَهَا فَعَلَيْهِمَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

Then heasws said; ‘But, by Allahazwj, when ourasws Qaimasws makes a stand, or speaks ourasws speech, heasws will expose the matters of these two of what they had concealed, and conceal from their matters what they used to make apparent. By Allahazwj, nothing has afflicted usasws from the afflictions, and what has passed of the difficulties against usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household, except that these two laid the foundations of it at first place, so against these two are the Curses of Allahazwj, and the Angels, and the people altogether’.

14789- حَنَانٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ أَهْلَ رِدَّةٍ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةً فَقُلْتُ وَ مَنِ الثَّلَاثَةُ فَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ عَرَفَ أُنَاسٌ بَعْدَ يَسِيرٍ

H 14789 – Hanaan, from his father, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘The people turned apostate after the Prophetsaww except for three’. So I said, ‘And which three?’ So heasws said: ‘Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswadar, and Abu Dharr Al-Ghaffariar, and Salman Al-Farsyar, may the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessing be upon themar. Then the people realised after a while’.

وَ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ دَارَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الرَّحَى وَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يُبَايِعُوا حَتَّى جَاءُوا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) مُكْرَهاً فَبَايَعَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً وَ سَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ.

And heasws said: ‘Theyar are the ones upon whom the grinding stone turned, but they still refused to pledge theirar allegiances until they went to Amir-ul-Momineenasws, so they pledged theirar allegiances under threat, and that is the Statement of Allahazwj the High: “[3:144] And Muhammad is no more than a messenger; the messengers have already passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon his heels, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least and Allah will reward the grateful”.’

14790- حَنَانٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْمِنْبَرَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَذْهَبَ عَنْكُمْ نَخْوَةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ تَفَاخُرَهَا بِآبَائِهَا أَلَا إِنَّكُمْ مِنْ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ آدَمُ مِنْ طِينٍ أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ عَبْدٌ اتَّقَاهُ إِنَّ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ لَيْسَتْ بِأَبٍ وَالِدٍ وَ لَكِنَّهَا لِسَانٌ نَاطِقٌ فَمَنْ قَصَرَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُبْلِغْهُ حَسَبُهُ أَلَا إِنَّ كُلَّ دَمٍ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ أَوْ إِحْنَةٍ وَ الْإِحْنَةُ الشَّحْنَاءُ فَهِيَ تَحْتَ قَدَمِي هَذِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

H 14790 – Hannaan, from his father, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww ascended the Pulpit on the day of victory over Makkah, so hesaww said: ‘O you people! Allahazwj has Taken away from you the pride of the era of the ignorance, and what you are boasting of with regards to your forefathers. Indeed! You are from Adamas, and Adam is from clay. Indeed! The best of the servants of Allahazwj is a pious servant. The Arabic is not by a father and (grand) father, but it is a spoken tongue (language). So the one who is deficient in his deeds, his lineage would not help him. Indeed! Every blood (shed) during the era of ignorance, or feud – and the feud is the enmity – so it is now under mysaww feet. This is how it will be up to the Day of Judgement’.

14791- حَنَانٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا كَانَ وُلْدُ يَعْقُوبَ أَنْبِيَاءَ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَسْبَاطَ أَوْلَادِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يُفَارِقُوا الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا سُعَدَاءَ تَابُوا وَ تَذَكَّرُوا مَا صَنَعُوا وَ إِنَّ الشَّيْخَيْنِ فَارَقَا الدُّنْيَا وَ لَمْ يَتُوبَا وَ لَمْ يَتَذَكَّرَا مَا صَنَعَا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَعَلَيْهِمَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ.

H 14791 – Hanaan, from his father, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws said, when I said to himasws, ‘What were the children of Yaqoubas, Prophetsas?’ Heasws said: ‘No, but they were the grandchildren of the children of the Prophetsas, and they did not depart from the world except as happy, repentant, and remembered what they had done, and the two old men (Abu Bakr and Umar – Shaykhayn) departed from the world, and they never remembered what they had done with Amir-ul-Momineenasws, so upon these two be the Curses of Allahazwj, and the Angels, and the people altogether’.

14792- حَنَانٌ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَبْدٍ صَالِحٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ أَصَابَهُمْ قَحْطٌ شَدِيدٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ (عليهما السلام) فَشَكَوْا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ طَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَسْتَسْقِيَ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُ الْغَدَاةَ مَضَيْتُ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ مَضَى وَ مَضَوْا فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ إِذَا هُوَ بِنَمْلَةٍ رَافِعَةٍ يَدَهَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَاضِعَةٍ قَدَمَيْهَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا خَلْقٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَا غِنَى بِنَا عَنْ رِزْقِكَ فَلَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِذُنُوبِ بَنِي آدَمَ قَالَ فَقَالَ سُلَيْمَانُ (عليه السلام) ارْجِعُوا فَقَدْ سُقِيتُمْ بِغَيْرِكُمْ قَالَ فَسُقُوا فِي ذَلِكَ الْعَامِ مَا لَمْ يُسْقَوْا مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ.

H 14792 – Hanaan, from Abu Al-Khattab, who has said:

Abd Salihasws (7th Imamasws) having said: ‘The people were affected by severe drought during the era of Suleiman Bin Dawoodas. So they complained about that to himas, and sought from himas that heas should Pray for them’. So heas said to them: ‘When Ias have Prayed the morning Prayer, Ias will come with you’. So when heas had Prayed the morning Prayer, heas went and they went (with himas). So when they were on one of the roads, there was an ant there which had raised its hand to the sky, and placed its feet upon the earth, and it was saying, ‘Our Allahazwj! We are also creatures from Yourazwj creatures, and we are not needless of Yourazwj sustenance, so do not Destroy us for the sins committed by the children of Adamas’. So Suleiman said: ‘Return! You shall be quenched by others (in other ways)’. So they were quenched in that year the like of which they had never been quenched at all’.

H 14793 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Musa Bin Ja’far, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Khalaf Bin Isa, from Abu Uney Al-Mada’iny, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said that Allahazwj has servants who are auspicious and righteous who are living, and the people live in their protection, and they are among Hisazwj servants at the status of the country. And Allahazwj has servants who are accursed and deniers. Neither do they live (a good life) nor do the people in their protection, and they are among Hisazwj servants at the status of the locusts. They do not occur on something except that they devour it’.

H 14794 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, together from Muhammad Bin Saalim Bin Abu Salma, from Al-Hassan Bin Shazaan Al-Wasity who said:

I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws complaining of my alienation from the people of ‘وَاسِطٍ’, and their burdening me, and they were from the Uthmaniyya group, hurting me’. So a reply came in hisasws handwriting: ‘Surely Allahazwj has Taken a Covenant from ourasws friends for the patience during the government of the falsehood. So be patient for the Judgement of your Lordazwj. So when the chief of the creatures (Al-Qaimasws) makes a stand, they would say: “[36:52] They shall say: O woe to us! who has raised us up from our sleeping-place? This is what the Beneficent Allah promised and the messengers told the truth”.’

H 14795 – Muhammad Bin Saalim Bin Abu Salma, from Ahmad Bin Al-Rayyaan, from his father, from Jameel Bin Darraaj, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘If the people knew the merits of recognising Allahazwj they would not extend their eyes to what treats the enemies of Allahazwj have from the blossoms of the life of the world and its bounties. And their world would seem little in their presence than what they are treading on with their feet, and they would enjoy the recognition of Allahazwj and relish it with a relish of the one who would not cease to be in the Gardens of the Paradise with the friends of Allahazwj.

The recognition of Allahazwj is a comfort in every frightening state, and a companionship in every loneliness, and a Light in every darkness, and strength in every weakness, and a healing in every illness’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ (عليه السلام) وَ قَدْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ قَوْمٌ يُقْتَلُونَ وَ يُحْرَقُونَ وَ يُنْشَرُونَ بِالْمَنَاشِيرِ وَ تَضِيقُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَرْضُ بِرُحْبِهَا فَمَا يَرُدُّهُمْ عَمَّا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِمَّا هُمْ فِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ تِرَةٍ وَتَرُوا مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِمْ وَ لَا أَذًى بَلْ مَا نَقَمُوا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَمِيدِ فَاسْأَلُوا رَبَّكُمْ دَرَجَاتِهِمْ وَ اصْبِرُوا عَلَى نَوَائِبِ دَهْرِكُمْ تُدْرِكُوا سَعْيَهُمْ.

Then heasws said: ‘And before them were a people who were killed, and burnt, and cut into pieces by the saw, and the earth became constricted for them. So nothing from such hardships could return them from what they were on. And you will see that the one who acted like that with them and hurt them was for no reason other than that they believed in Allahazwj the Mighty, the Praiseworthy. So ask your Lordazwj for their levels, and be patient upon the ravages of your time in order to understand their quest’.

H 14796 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Saeed Bin Janaah, from one of our companions, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Allahazwj has not Created a creature smaller than the mosquito, and Al-Jarjas is smaller than the mosquito, and that which we call Al-Wala’a is smaller than Al-Jarjas, and there is nothing which the elephant has except that it is in it, similar to it, and it is better than the elephant by having two wings’.

H 14797 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, and Al-Husayn Bin Saeed together from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Zayd Bin Al-Waleed Al-Khash’amy, from Abu Al-Rabi’e Al-Shamy who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[8:24] O you who believe! answer (the call of) Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life”. Heasws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding the Wilayah of Aliasws’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ ما تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُها وَ لا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُماتِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لا رَطْبٍ وَ لا يابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْوَرَقَةُ السِّقْطُ وَ الْحَبَّةُ الْوَلَدُ وَ ظُلُمَاتُ الْأَرْضِ الْأَرْحَامُ وَ الرَّطْبُ مَا يَحْيَى مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ الْيَابِسُ مَا يُقْبَضُ وَ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ فِي إِمَامٍ مُبِينٍ

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[6:59], and there falls not a leaf but He knows it, nor a grain in the darkness of the earth, nor anything wet nor dry but (it is all) in a clear book”. Heasws said: ‘The fallen leaf (is the miscarried child) and the grain is the child, and the darkness of the earth is the womb, and the wet is who lives from the people, and the dry is who has been Captured (died), and all that is in the manifest Imamasws’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قُلْ سِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كانَ عاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَ عَنَى بِذَلِكَ أَيِ انْظُرُوا فِي الْقُرْآنِ فَاعْلَمُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَ مَا أَخْبَرَكُمْ عَنْهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[30:42] Say: Travel in the land, then see how was the end of those before”. So heasws said: ‘It means by that, look in the Quran so you will come to know how was the eventual end of those who were before you, and what it is informing you from it’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَقَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنَّكُمْ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ مُصْبِحِينَ وَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَ فَلا تَعْقِلُونَ قَالَ تَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْقُرْآنِ إِذَا قَرَأْتُمُ الْقُرْآنَ تَقْرَأُ مَا قَصَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَبَرِهِمْ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[37:137] And most surely you pass by them in the morning, [37:138] And at night; do you not then understand?” Heasws said: ‘You pass by them in the Quran when you recite the Quran, read what story Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Told you from their news’.

14798- عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَبَلِ لَمْ يُسَمِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَلَيْكَ بِالتِّلَادِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ كُلَّ مُحْدَثٍ لَا عَهْدَ لَهُ وَ لَا أَمَانَةَ وَ لَا ذِمَّةَ وَ لَا مِيثَاقَ وَ كُنْ عَلَى حَذَرٍ مِنْ أَوْثَقِ النَّاسِ فِي نَفْسِكَ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ أَعْدَاءُ النِّعَمِ.

H 14798 – From him, from Ibn Muskaan, from a man from the people of Al-Jabl whom he did not name, has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘It is on you to be with the original, and beware of every newly invented matter as there is no pledge for it, nor a trust for it, nor a guarantee for it, nor a Covenant for it. And be cautious of the people whom you rely upon for yourself, for the people are the enemies of the bounties’.

14799-  يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُسْتَهِلِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَأَلَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ مَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَضَعْتُمْ فِيهِ زَيْداً قَالَ قُلْتُ خِصَالٌ ثَلَاثٌ أَمَّا إِحْدَاهُنَّ فَقِلَّةُ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ مَعَنَا إِنَّمَا كُنَّا ثَمَانِيَةَ نَفَرٍ وَ أَمَّا الْأُخْرَى فَالَّذِي تَخَوَّفْنَا مِنَ الصُّبْحِ أَنْ يَفْضَحَنَا وَ أَمَّا الثَّالِثَةُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ مَضْجَعَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ كَمْ إِلَى الْفُرَاتِ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَضَعْتُمُوهُ فِيهِ قُلْتُ قَذْفَةُ حَجَرٍ

H 14799 – Yahya Al-Halby, from Abu Al-Mustahal, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said:

Abu Abdullahasws questioned me: ‘What was the place in which you placed (the body of) Zayd?’ I said, ‘There were three issues. As for one of them, so there were very few of us who were left behind with us, but rather, we were eight persons. As for the other one, so we were afraid from the morning, which would have exposed us. And as for the third, so it was his bed (resting place) which he proceeded to’. So heasws said: ‘How far was the Euphrates from the place in which you placed (buried) him?’ I said, ‘A stone’s throw away’.

فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ أَ فَلَا كُنْتُمْ أَوْقَرْتُمُوهُ حَدِيداً وَ قَذَفْتُمُوهُ فِي الْفُرَاتِ وَ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا طُقْنَا لِهَذَا فَقَالَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ كُنْتُمْ يَوْمَ خَرَجْتُمْ مَعَ زَيْدٍ قُلْتُ مُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَمَا كَانَ عَدُوُّكُمْ قُلْتُ كُفَّاراً قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَجِدُ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِذا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَضَرْبَ الرِّقابِ حَتَّى إِذا أَثْخَنْتُمُوهُمْ فَشُدُّوا الْوَثاقَ فَإِمَّا مَنًّا بَعْدُ وَ إِمَّا فِداءً حَتَّى تَضَعَ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزارَها فَابْتَدَأْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ بِتَخْلِيَةِ مَنْ أَسَرْتُمْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَسِيرُوا بِالْعَدْلِ سَاعَةً.

So heasws said: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! So why did you all not tie a (piece of) iron to him, and throw him in the Euphrates, and that would have been preferable?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, no, by Allahazwj, we had no way for this’. So heasws said: ‘Which thing (were you on) on the day you all came out with Zayd?’ I said, ‘We were Believers’. Heasws said: ‘Who were your enemies?’ I said, ‘Infidels’. Heasws said: ‘Iasws found in the Book of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: "[47:4] So when you meet in battle those who disbelieve, then smite the necks until when you have overcome them, then make (them) prisoners, and afterwards either set them free as a favour or let them ransom (themselves) until the war terminates”. You all began by evacuating yourselves from captivity. Glory be to Allahazwj! You did not have the ability to travel with the justice even for a while’.

14800- يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ الْخَارِجَةِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَعْفَى نَبِيَّكُمْ أَنْ يَلْقَى مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ مَا لَقِيَتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ أُمَمِهَا وَ جَعَلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا.

H 14800 – Yahya Al-Halby, from Haroun Bin Al-Kharjat, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Exempted your Prophetsaww from facing from hissaww community what the Prophetsas faced from their communities, and Made that for usasws’.

14801- يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ ضُرَيْسٍ قَالَ تَمَارَى النَّاسُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ حَرْبُ عَلِيٍّ شَرٌّ مِنْ حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ حَرْبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) شَرٌّ مِنْ حَرْبِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) قَالَ فَسَمِعَهُمْ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ مَا تَقُولُونَ فَقَالُوا أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ تَمَارَيْنَا فِي حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ فِي حَرْبِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا حَرْبُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) شَرٌّ مِنْ حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ قَالَ بَعْضُنَا حَرْبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) شَرٌّ مِنْ حَرْبِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام)

H 14801 – Yahya, from Abdulah Bin Muskaan, from Zureys who said:

The people disputed in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws. So some of them said, ‘The wars fought by Aliasws were (against a people) more evil than the wars fought by the Rasool Allahsaww, and some of them said, ‘The wars fought by the Rasool Allahsaww were (against a people) more evil than the wars fought by Aliasws’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Abu Ja’far listened to them and said: ‘What are you all saying?’ So they said, ‘May Allahazwj keep youasws well, we are disputing with regards to the wars of the Rasool Allahsaww and the wars of Aliasws. Some of us are saying that the wars of Aliasws were (against a people) more evil than the wars fought by the Rasool Allahsaww, whilst some of us are saying that the wars fought by the Messengersaww were (against a people) more evil than the wars fought by Aliasws’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لَا بَلْ حَرْبُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) شَرٌّ مِنْ حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَ حَرْبُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) شَرٌّ مِنْ حَرْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ سَأُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ حَرْبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمْ يُقِرُّوا بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَ إِنَّ حَرْبَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) أَقَرُّوا بِالْإِسْلَامِ ثُمَّ جَحَدُوهُ.

So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘No! But, the wars of Aliasws were (against a people) more evil than the wars of the Rasool Allahsaww’. So I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, the wars of Aliasws were (against a people) more evil than the wars of the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, and Iasws shall inform you about that. The Messengersaww fought wars (against a people) who did not accept Al-Islam, and that the wars of Aliasws were (against a people) who accepted Al-Islam, then fought against himasws’.

14802- يَحْيَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ آتَيْناهُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ قُلْتُ وُلْدُهُ كَيْفَ أُوتِيَ مِثْلَهُمْ مَعَهُمْ قَالَ أَحْيَا لَهُ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَاتُوا قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ بِآجَالِهِمْ مِثْلَ الَّذِينَ هَلَكُوا يَوْمَئِذٍ.

H 14802 – Yahya Bin Umraan, from Haroun Bin Kharjat, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[21:84] and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them”. I said, ‘His (Prophet Ayubas) children, how was heas given the like of them, with them?’ Heasws said: ‘Heazwj Revived for himas from hisas children who had died before that of natural causes, and the like (number) of those who had died on that day’.

14803- يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيُّ عَنِ الْمُثَنَّى عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَأَنَّما أُغْشِيَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قِطَعاً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مُظْلِماً قَالَ أَ مَا تَرَى الْبَيْتَ إِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ كَانَ أَشَدَّ سَوَاداً مِنْ خَارِجٍ فَلِذَلِكَ هُمْ يَزْدَادُونَ سَوَاداً.

H 14803 – Yahya Al-halby, from Al-Musna, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[10:27] as if their faces had been covered with slices of the dense darkness of night”, heasws said: ‘But, have you seen the house when it is the night, so it would be darker inside than the outside of it. So, like that, their darkness would be increased’.

14804- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ أَعْيَنَ يَسْأَلُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُسَائِلُهُ حَتَّى قَالَ فَهَلَكَ النَّاسُ إِذاً قَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ يَا ابْنَ أَعْيَنَ فَهَلَكَ النَّاسُ أَجْمَعُونَ قُلْتُ مَنْ فِي الْمَشْرِقِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ قَالَ إِنَّهَا فُتِحَتْ بِضَلَالٍ إِي وَ اللَّهِ لَهَلَكُوا إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةً.

H 14804 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Abaan Bin Usman, from Al-haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said:

I heard Abdul Malik Bin Ayn ask Abu Abdullahasws and he did not stop asking until he said, ‘So the people are destroyed’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj! O Ibn Ayn, all the people destroyed’. I said, ‘The ones who are in the east and the one who are in the west?’ Heasws said: ‘They have been conquered by the misguidance. Yes, by Allahazwj! They were destroyed except for three (Salmanar, Abu Dharrar and Al-Miqdadar)’.

14805- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ وَ عِدَّةٍ قَالُوا كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) جُلُوساً فَقَالَ (عليه السلام) لَا يَسْتَحِقُّ عَبْدٌ حَقِيقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ الْمَوْتُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ يَكُونَ الْمَرَضُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الصِّحَّةِ وَ يَكُونَ الْفَقْرُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْغِنَى فَأَنْتُمْ كَذَا فَقَالُوا لَا وَ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ وَ سُقِطَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ وَقَعَ الْيَأْسُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ

H 14805 – Muhammad Biin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Is’haq Bin Yazeed, from Mahraan, from Abaan Bin Taglub, and a number who said:

We were seated in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, so heasws said; ‘A servant does not become deserving of the true belief until the death becomes more beloved to him than the life, and the illness becomes more beloved to him than the health, and the poverty becomes more beloved to him than the richness. So are you all like this?’ So we said, ‘No, by Allahazwj! May Allahazwj Make us to be sacrificed for youasws ‘. And (their heads) fell into their hands, and despair filled their hearts.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا دَاخَلَهُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ أَ يَسُرُّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنَّهُ عُمِّرَ مَا عُمِّرَ ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ أَوْ يَمُوتُ عَلَى مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ قَالُوا بَلْ يَمُوتُ عَلَى مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ السَّاعَةَ قَالَ فَأَرَى الْمَوْتَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ

So when heasws saw what had entered into them from that, heasws said: ‘Is it more pleasing for one of you that he lives for as long as he does, then dies upon other than this matter (Al-Wilayah), or he dies what he is upon?’ We said, ‘But, dying what he is at this time’. Heasws said: ‘So Iasws see that the death is more beloved to you than the life’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ يَسُرُّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنْ بَقِيَ مَا بَقِيَ لَا يُصِيبُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَمْرَاضِ وَ الْأَوْجَاعِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ قَالُوا لَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَرَى الْمَرَضَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الصِّحَّةِ

Then said: ‘Is it more pleasing for one of you to remain upon what he is and not be struck by anything from these illnesses and the pains until he dies upon other than this matter (Al-Wilayah)’. We said, ‘No, O sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww’. Heasws said: ‘So Iasws see that illness is more beloved to you than the health’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ يَسُرُّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَنَّ لَهُ مَا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ قَالُوا لَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَأَرَى الْفَقْرَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْغِنَى.

Then said: ‘Is it more pleasing to one of you that for him should be all that the sun rises upon, and he is upon other than this matter (Al-Wilayah)?’ We said, ‘No, O sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww’. Heasws said: ‘So Iasws see that the poverty is more beloved to you than the richness’.

14806- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ اللَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّكَ إِنْ خَالَفْتَنِي فِي الْعَمَلِ لَمْ تَنْزِلْ مَعِيَ غَداً فِي الْمَنْزِلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَتَوَلَّى قَوْمٌ قَوْماً يُخَالِفُونَهُمْ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمْ يَنْزِلُونَ مَعَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَلَّا وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.

H 14806 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Hammaad Al-Laham, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws said that hisasws fatherasws said: ‘O myasws sonasws! If youasws oppose measws in the deeds, youasws will not be descending with measws tomorrow in the Dwelling (Hereafter)’. Then added: ‘Allahazwj has Refused to make friendship between those who oppose each other in their deeds when they are resurrected together on the Day of Judgement. No! By the Lordazwj of the Kabah (it will not happen)’.

14807- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ يَدِينُ بِدِينِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا نَحْنُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَ لَا هُدِيَ مَنْ هُدِيَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا بِنَا وَ لَا ضَلَّ مَنْ ضَلَّ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ إِلَّا بِنَا.

H 14807 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said:

I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘There is no one from this community who has made a Religion for himself with the Religion of Ibrahimas except for usasws, and ourasws Shites. And there is none who is upon the guidance who has been guided from this community except by usasws, nor has he strayed, the one who has strayed from this community, except due to (opposing) usasws’.

14808- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَجِي‏ءُ مِنْهُ الشَّيْ‏ءُ عَلَى حَدِّ الْغَضَبِ يُؤَاخِذُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْتَغْلِقَ عَبْدَهُ وَ فِي نُسْخَةِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ (عليه السلام) يَسْتَقْلِقَ عَبْدَهُ.

H 14808 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ali Bin Atiyya, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws said, ‘I was in hisasws presence and a man asked himasws about a man from whom something comes out due to his anger, will Allahazwj Hold him responsible for it?’ So heasws said: ‘Allahazwj is more benevolent than Tying down Hisazwj servant’. And in a copy from Abu Al-Hassan The Firstasws: (which says Allahazwj does not) ‘Coerce Hisazwj servant’.

14809- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ وَ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِي خَيْراً وَ فِي مَمَاتِي خَيْراً قَالَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا حَيَاتَكَ فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا فَمَا لَنَا فِي وَفَاتِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا فِي حَيَاتِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ أَمَّا فِي مَمَاتِي فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُكُمْ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ.

H 14809 – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza and someone else, has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws says that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘There is goodness for you in mysaww being alive and goodness for you in mysaww passing away’. So they said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww! As for yoursaww being alive, so we have known that. So what is (goodness) for us in yoursaww passing away?’ Hesaww said: ‘As for mysaww being alive, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[8:33] But Allah was not going to chastise them while you were among them”. And as for mysaww passing away, your deeds would get presented to mesaww, so Isaww would be seeking Forgiveness for you’.

14810- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍعَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ مِمَّنْ يَنْتَحِلُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَيَحْتَاجُ إِلَى كَذِبِهِ.

H 14810 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hashaam Bin Saalim who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Whosoever (other than usasws) claims to posses this Command (Wilayah), he has lied to the extent that the Satanla would be needy of his lie’.

14811- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا عَرَفْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ مِنْ بَابِ الْفِيلِ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَتَبِعْتُهُ حَتَّى أَتَى بِئْرَ الزَّكَاةِ وَ هِيَ عِنْدَ دَارِ صَالِحِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ إِذَا بِنَاقَتَيْنِ مَعْقُولَتَيْنِ وَ مَعَهُمَا غُلَامٌ أَسْوَدُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَقْدَمَكَ بِلَاداً قُتِلَ فِيهَا أَبُوكَ وَ جَدُّكَ فَقَالَ زُرْتُ أَبِي وَ صَلَّيْتُ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَا هُوَ ذَا وَجْهِي صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ.

H 14811 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammaad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza who said:

The first time I recognised Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws was when I saw a man enter from the Door of ‘Al-Feel’. Heasws Prayed four cycles. So I followed himasws until heasws came to the well of Al-Zakat, and it was in the house of Salih Bin Ali, and there were two she-camels with whom was a black slave. So I said to him, ‘Who is this one?’ He said, ‘This is Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws. So I approached himasws. I greeted himasws and said to himasws, ‘What is the reason that youasws have walked into the city in which yourasws fatherasws, and yourasws grandfather were killed?’ So heasws said: ‘Iasws visited (Ziyarat) myasws father, and Prayed in this Masjid’. Then said: ‘This is where Iasws have turned myasws attention to. May Allahazwj Send Greetings upon himasws’.

14812- عَنْهُ عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ قُتِلَ مَظْلُوماً فَقَدْ جَعَلْنا لِوَلِيِّهِ سُلْطاناً فَلا يُسْرِفْ فِي الْقَتْلِ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) لَوْ قُتِلَ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ بِهِ مَا كَانَ سَرَفاً.

H 14812 – From him, from Salih, from Al-Hajjaal, from one of his companions, who has reported:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[17:33] and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying”. Heasws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding Al-Husaynasws. Even if all the people of the earth were to be killed for it, it would not be excessive’.

14813- عَنْهُ عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الصَّمَدِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الْحُوتَ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُ الْأَرْضَ أَسَرَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يَحْمِلُ الْأَرْضَ بِقُوَّتِهِ فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ حُوتاً أَصْغَرَ مِنْ شِبْرٍ وَ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ فِتْرٍ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي خَيَاشِيمِهِ فَصَعِقَ فَمَكَثَ بِذَلِكَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَءُوفَ بِهِ وَ رَحِمَهُ وَ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ بِأَرْضٍ زَلْزَلَةً بَعَثَ ذَلِكَ الْحُوتَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْحُوتِ فَإِذَا رَآهُ اضْطَرَبَ فَتَزَلْزَلَتِ الْأَرْضُ.

H 14813 – From him, from Salih, from one of his companions, from Abdul Samad Bin Basheer, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that: ‘The whale which is carrying the earth secretly said to itself that it is carrying the earth by its own strength. So Allahazwj the High Sent to it a fish smaller than a palm’s length, and larger than a finger. So it entered in its gills and shocked it. It remained like that for forty days. Then Allahazwj Raised it and was Merciful to it, and Took it out. So whenever Allahazwj Intends the earth to be in a quake, Heazwj Sends that (small) fish to that (big) fish. So when it sees it, it becomes restless, so the earth gets engulfed by the earthquake’.

14814- عَنْهُ عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَاضْطَرَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَوَحَاهَا بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا اسْكُنِي مَا لَكِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْنَا وَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَأَجَابَتْنِي وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَتْ بِتِلْكَ.

H 14814 – From him, from Salih, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ibn Muskaan, from Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy, from Tameem Bin Haatim who said:

We were with Amir-ul-Momineenasws, so the earth became restless (tremor). So heasws gestured with hisasws hand, then said to it: ‘Calm down! What is the matter with you?’ Then heasws turned towards us and said: ‘But, had it been that (quake[26]) which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said, it would have answered measws, but it is not that one’.

H 14815 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Abu Al-Yas’a, from Abu Shabl, ‘Safwaan said, ‘And I do not know except that I have heard from Abu Shabl, that:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The one loves you due to what you are upon (Al-Wilayah), would enter the Paradise even if he never said anything similar to what you are saying’.

14816- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ سَلَّامِ بْنِ الْمُسْتَنِيرِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) لَمَّا انْقَضَتِ الْقِصَّةُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ طَلْحَةَ وَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَ عَائِشَةَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ تَفْتِنُ النَّاسَ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ وَ تُزَيِّنُ لَهُمْ بِعَاجِلِهَا

H 14816 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al-No’man Abu Ja’far Al-Ahowl, from salaam Bin Al-Mustaneer, who has said the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said that: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws, when the story in between himasws and Talha, and Al-Zubeyr, and Ayesha concluded at Al-Basra, heasws ascended the Pulpit. So heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, and sent greetings upon the Rasool Allahsaww, then said: ‘O you people! The world is sweet and green, enchanting the people by the desires, and adorning them with its current affairs.

وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَتَغُرُّ مَنْ أَمَّلَهَا وَ تُخْلِفُ مَنْ رَجَاهَا وَ سَتُورِثُ أَقْوَاماً النَّدَامَةَ وَ الْحَسْرَةَ بِإِقْبَالِهِمْ عَلَيْهَا وَ تَنَافُسِهِمْ فِيهَا وَ حَسَدِهِمْ وَ بَغْيِهِمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدِّينِ وَ الْفَضْلِ فِيهَا ظُلْماً وَ عُدْوَاناً وَ بَغْياً وَ أَشَراً وَ بَطَراً وَ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ مَا عَاشَ قَوْمٌ قَطُّ فِي غَضَارَةٍ مِنْ كَرَامَةِ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ فِي مَعَاشِ دُنْيَا وَ لَا دَائِمِ تَقْوَى فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ الشُّكْرِ لِنِعَمِهِ فَأَزَالَ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ تَغْيِيرٍ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ تَحْوِيلٍ عَنْ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَادِثِ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ قِلَّةِ مُحَافَظَةٍ وَ تَرْكِ مُرَاقَبَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ تَهَاوُنٍ بِشُكْرِ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُغَيِّرُ ما بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى يُغَيِّرُوا ما بِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ إِذا أَرادَ اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ سُوْءاً فَلا مَرَدَّ لَهُ وَ ما لَهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ مِنْ والٍ

And Iasws swear by Allahazwj that it deceives the one who hopes in it, and breaks the one who wishes for it, and there are people who would be inheriting the regret and the sorrow by advancing towards it and competing with regards to it, by their jealousies and their rebellion against the people of the religion.

And they achieve preferences in it by injustice, and animosity, and rebellion, and ungratefulness. By Allahazwj! No people lived in the honour and dignity of the Bounties of Allahazwj in the life of the world, nor everlasting piety in obedience to Allahazwj and the appreciation for Hisazwj Bounties, and all that declined from them except after they had changed themselves, and diverted from the obedience to Allahazwj, and committed their sins were hardly vigilant, and ignored the Surveillance of Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty, and being complacent of appreciation for the Bounties of Allahazwj, because Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying in the Decisive (Verses) of Hisazwj Book that: “[13:11] surely Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change their own condition; and when Allah intends evil to a people, there is no averting it, and besides Him they have no protector”.

وَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَعَاصِي وَ كَسَبَةَ الذُّنُوبِ إِذَا هُمْ حَذِرُوا زَوَالَ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ وَ حُلُولَ نَقِمَتِهِ وَ تَحْوِيلَ عَافِيَتِهِ أَيْقَنُوا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَقْلَعُوا وَ تَابُوا وَ فَزِعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِصِدْقٍ مِنْ نِيَّاتِهِمْ وَ إِقْرَارٍ مِنْهُمْ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ إِسَاءَتِهِمْ لَصَفَحَ لَهُمْ عَنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ وَ إِذاً لَأَقَالَهُمْ كُلَّ عَثْرَةٍ وَ لَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ كَرَامَةِ نِعْمَةٍ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ لَهُمْ مِنْ صَلَاحِ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ مِمَّا كَانَ أَنْعَمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ كُلَّ مَا زَالَ عَنْهُمْ وَ أُفْسِدَ عَلَيْهِمْ

And had the people of the disobedience, and the accumulators of the sins been cautious of the decline of the Bounties of Allahazwj (for them) and their replacement by Hisazwj Anger and the changing of their health, been convinced that it is from Allahazwj for what their own hands have accumulated, they would have changed, and repented, and panicked to Allahazwj by the sincerity of their intentions, and acknowledgement of their sins and their offences, Heazwj would Forgive all the sins and Overlook all the faults, and Return to them all the Prestigious Bounties. Then Heazwj would Correct their affairs, and from all that Heazwj had Favoured them by which had declined from them and had been spoilt.

فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَ اسْتَشْعِرُوا خَوْفَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ أَخْلِصُوا الْيَقِينَ وَ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ قَبِيحِ مَا اسْتَفَزَّكُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ قِتَالِ وَلِيِّ الْأَمْرِ وَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ مَا تَعَاوَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ تَفْرِيقِ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَ تَشَتُّتِ الْأَمْرِ وَ فَسَادِ صَلَاحِ ذَاتِ الْبَيْنِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ وَ يَعْفُو عَنِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا تَفْعَلُونَ.

So fear Allahazwj, O you people, with the rightful fear, and feel the fear of Allahazwj and be convinced with sincerity, and repent to Himazwj from the ugliness of what the Satanla has enticed you with of the fighting against ‘وَلِيِّ الْأَمْرِ وَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ’ the Masterasws of the Command (Wali Al-Amr) and the Peopleasws of the Knowledge after the Rasool Allahsaww and do not co-operate with those who create differences in the group, and disperse the affairs, and spoil the relationships. Allahazwj Accept the repentance and Excuses the sins, and Heazwj Knows what you are doing’.

14817- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ نَجْماً فِي الْفَلَكِ السَّابِعِ فَخَلَقَهُ مِنْ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ وَ سَائِرَ النُّجُومِ السِّتَّةِ الْجَارِيَاتِ مِنْ مَاءٍ حَارٍّ وَ هُوَ نَجْمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ هُوَ نَجْمُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) يَأْمُرُ بِالْخُرُوجِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الزُّهْدِ فِيهَا وَ يَأْمُرُ بِافْتِرَاشِ التُّرَابِ وَ تَوَسُّدِ اللَّبِنِ وَ لِبَاسِ الْخَشِنِ وَ أَكْلِ الْجَشِبِ وَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ نَجْماً أَقْرَبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْهُ.

H 14817 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Usman who said:

Abu Abdullah Al-Mada’iny narrated from Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘Allahazwj Created a star in the seventh orbit. So heazwj Created it from cold water and the rest of the six stars flowed from hot water, and it is the star of the Prophetsas, and the successorsasws and it is the star of Amir-ul-Momineenasws commanding the exit from the world, and the ascetism in it, and commanding for the dust to be the mattress, and bricks to rest upon (for a pillow), and coarse clothing, and eating the tasteless (food), and Allahazwj has not Created a star more closer to Allahazwj the High, than it’.

14818- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) رَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنَّ قَفَصاً فِيهِ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ قَارُورَةً إِذْ وَقَعَ الْقَفَصُ فَتَكَسَّرَتِ الْقَوَارِيرُ فَقَالَ إِنْ صَدَقَتْ رُؤْيَاكَ يَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَمْلِكُ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ يَمُوتُ فَخَرَجَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْكُوفَةِ مَعَ أَبِي السَّرَايَا فَمَكَثَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً ثُمَّ مَاتَ.

H 14818 – Al-Husayn Bin Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Yaser Al-Khadam who said:

I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws, ‘I saw (a dream) during the sleep, as if there was a cage in which were seventeen bottles. There was an impact upon the cage and the bottles broke’. So heasws said: ‘If your dream is true, a man from myasws Household would come out, govern for seventeen days, then die’. So Muhammad Bin Ibrahim came out at Al-Kufa along with Abu Al-Saraaya. So he remained for seventeen days, then died’.

14819- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) فِي أَيَّامِ هَارُونَ إِنَّكَ قَدْ شَهَرْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ وَ جَلَسْتَ مَجْلِسَ أَبِيكَ وَ سَيْفُ هَارُونَ يُقَطِّرُ الدَّمَ فَقَالَ جَرَّأَنِي عَلَى هَذَا مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنْ أَخَذَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ مِنْ رَأْسِي شَعْرَةً فَاشْهَدُوا أَنِّي لَسْتُ بِنَبِيٍّ وَ أَنَا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ إِنْ أَخَذَ هَارُونُ مِنْ رَأْسِي شَعْرَةً فَاشْهَدُوا أَنِّي لَسْتُ بِإِمَامٍ.

H 14819 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Muhammad Bin Sinan who said:

I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws, during the days of Haroun, ‘Youasws have famed yourselfasws by this Command, and are sitting in the seat of yourasws father, whilst the sword of Haroun drips blood’. So heasws said: ‘What encouraged measws was what the Rasool Allahsaww said; ‘If Abu Jahlla can take a single hair from mysaww head (to hurt mesaww), so testify that Isaww am not a Prophetsaww, and Iasws say to you that if Haroun can take a single hair from myasws head, so testify that Iasws am not an Imamasws’.

14820- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ زُرْعَةَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ تَعَرَّضَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ بِجَارِيَةِ رَجُلٍ عَقِيلِيٍّ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعُمَرِيَّ قَدْ آذَانِي فَقَالَ لَهَا عِدِيهِ وَ أَدْخِلِيهِ الدِّهْلِيزَ فَأَدْخَلَتْهُ فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَهُ وَ أَلْقَاهُ فِي الطَّرِيقِ فَاجْتَمَعَ الْبَكْرِيُّونَ وَ الْعُمَرِيُّونَ وَ الْعُثْمَانِيُّونَ وَ قَالُوا مَا لِصَاحِبِنَا كُفْوٌ لَنْ نَقْتُلَ بِهِ إِلَّا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَا قَتَلَ صَاحِبَنَا غَيْرُهُ وَ كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَدْ مَضَى نَحْوَ قُبَا فَلَقِيتُهُ بِمَا اجْتَمَعَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ دَعْهُمْ قَالَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ وَ رَأَوْهُ وَثَبُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالُوا مَا قَتَلَ صَاحِبَنَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ وَ مَا نَقْتُلُ بِهِ أَحَداً غَيْرَكَ فَقَالَ لِيُكَلِّمْنِي مِنْكُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ فَاعْتَزَلَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ فَأَدْخَلَهُمُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَخَرَجُوا وَ هُمْ يَقُولُونَ شَيْخُنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِثْلُهُ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا وَ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِهِ انْصَرِفُوا

H 14820 – From him, from Ahmad, from Zara’at, from Sama’at who said:

A man from the children of Umar Bin Al-Khattaab exposed (molested) a maid of an Uqeyli man. So she said to him, It was this Umary who has hurt me’. So he said to her, ‘Let him come into the corridor’. So she let him in, and he pounced hard and killed him, and threw his body onto the street’ So the Bakries, and Umaries, and Usmaanies gathered and said, ‘There is no match for our companion. We will not avenge his killing except by Ja’far Bin Muhammad, and we will not kill for our companion except himasws. And Abu Abdullahasws had gone near the Quba. So I met himasws and told of the gathering of the people against himasws. So heasws said: ‘Leave them’. So when they came and saw himasws, they were aggressive against himasws and said, ‘No one killed our companion apart from youasws, and we will not kill anyone apart from youasws’. So heasws said; ‘Let a group from you speak to measws’. So a group separated itself from them, grabbed himasws by the hand and entered with himasws into the Masjid. So when they came out, they were saying, ‘Our Sheikh is Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws. We seek Refuge with Allahazwj that there was someone like himasws and for having done this, or ordered for it’. They dispersed.

قَالَ فَمَضَيْتُ مَعَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا كَانَ أَقْرَبَ رِضَاهُمْ مِنْ سَخَطِهِمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ دَعَوْتُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَمْسِكُوا وَ إِلَّا أَخْرَجْتُ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا هَذِهِ الصَّحِيفَةُ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أُمَّ الْخَطَّابِ كَانَتْ أَمَةً لِلزُّبَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَسَطَّرَ بِهَا نُفَيْلٌ فَأَحْبَلَهَا فَطَلَبَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ فَخَرَجَ هَارِباً إِلَى الطَّائِفِ فَخَرَجَ الزُّبَيْرُ خَلْفَهُ فَبَصُرَتْ بِهِ ثَقِيفٌ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا تَعْمَلُ هَاهُنَا قَالَ جَارِيَتِي سَطَّرَ بِهَا نُفَيْلُكُمْ

When they had finished with himasws, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, how close was their happiness from their anger’. Heasws said: ‘Yes. Iasws called them, so Iasws said: ‘Let measws go or else Iasws will bring out the Parchment!’ So I said, ‘And what is this Parchment, may I be sacrificed for youasws?’ So heasws said: ‘The mother of Al-Khattaab was a slave girl of Al-Zubeyr Bin Abdul Muttalib. Nufeyl seduced her and impregnated her. So Zubeyr was looking for him, and he fled to Al-Taef. Zubeyr went out behind him. Saqeef saw him and said, ‘O Abu Abdullah, what are you doing over here?’ My maid was seduced by Nufeyl’.

فَهَرَبَ مِنْهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَ خَرَجَ الزُّبَيْرُ فِي تِجَارَةٍ لَهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى مَلِكِ الدُّومَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ قَدْ أَخَذْتَ وَلَدَهُ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لِيَظْهَرْ لِي حَتَّى أَعْرِفَهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ دَخَلَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْمَلِكُ ضَحِكَ فَقَالَ مَا يُضْحِكُكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ قَالَ مَا أَظُنُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ وَلَدَتْهُ عَرَبِيَّةٌ لَمَّا رَآكَ قَدْ دَخَلْتَ لَمْ يَمْلِكِ اسْتَهُ أَنْ جَعَلَ يَضْرِطُ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِذَا صِرْتُ إِلَى مَكَّةَ قَضَيْتُ حَاجَتَكَ

So he ran away from it to Syria and Al-Zubeyr went out on business to Syria. So he came up to the King of Dowmat who said to him, ‘O Abu Abdullah! I have a need from you’. He said, ‘And what is your need, O King’. He said, ‘A man from your people has taken his son, so I would love to return him back to his father’. He said, ‘Display him to me until I can recognise him’. So when it was the morning, he came up to the King. When the King saw him, he laughed. So he said, ‘What made you to laugh, O King?’ He said, ‘I don’t think that this man has been born to an Arab. When he saw you entering, he could not control his backside and released wind’. He said, ‘O King! When I go to Makkah, I shall fulfil your request’.

فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ الزُّبَيْرُ تَحَمَّلَ عَلَيْهِ بِبُطُونِ قُرَيْشٍ كُلِّهَا أَنْ يَدْفَعَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنَهُ فَأَبَى ثُمَّ تَحَمَّلَ عَلَيْهِ بِعَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَالَ مَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ عَمَلٌ أَ مَا عَلِمْتُمْ مَا فَعَلَ فِي ابْنِي فُلَانٍ وَ لَكِنِ امْضُوا أَنْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَصَدُوهُ وَ كَلَّمُوهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الزُّبَيْرُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَهُ دَوْلَةٌ وَ إِنَّ ابْنَ هَذَا ابْنُ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ لَسْتُ آمَنُ أَنْ يَتَرَأَّسَ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَكِنْ أَدْخِلُوهُ مِنْ بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَيَّ عَلَى أَنْ أُحْمِيَ لَهُ حَدِيدَةً وَ أَخُطَّ فِي وَجْهِهِ خُطُوطاً وَ أَكْتُبَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ أَلَّا يَتَصَدَّرَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَ لَا يَتَأَمَّرَ عَلَى أَوْلَادِنَا وَ لَا يَضْرِبَ مَعَنَا بِسَهْمٍ قَالَ فَفَعَلُوا وَ خَطَّ وَجْهَهُ بِالْحَدِيدَةِ وَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْكِتَابَ وَ ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابُ عِنْدَنَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِنْ أَمْسَكْتُمْ وَ إِلَّا أَخْرَجْتُ الْكِتَابَ فَفِيهِ فَضِيحَتُكُمْ فَأَمْسَكُوا

So when Al-Zubeyr went he carried him to the Qureysh who insisted that he hand over to him (Nufayl) his son (Al-Khattaab born from the slave girl of Al-Zubeyr). Then they took him to Abdul Muttalibas. So he said, ‘There is nothing between myself and him. Do you not know what he has done with regards to my son, so and so? But you all go to him, try to persuade him, and speak to him’.

Al-Zubeyr said to them, ‘The Satanla has a dominion to himselfla, and that the son of this man is the son of Satanla and I do not feel safe that (tomorrow) he might become a leader over us. But, enter him in the door of the Masjid to me that I should take an iron and mark his face with it, and write down against him and his son that they shall not be part of our gatherings, and will not issue any orders on our children, nor will they cast arrows with us’. So they did that, and marked his face with the iron, and wrote against him a document, and that document is in ourasws possession. So Iasws told them: ‘Let measws go or else Iasws would bring out the document, for in it is your scandal’. So they let measws go’.

وَ تُوُفِّيَ مَوْلًى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمْ يُخَلِّفْ وَارِثاً فَخَاصَمَ فِيهِ وُلْدُ الْعَبَّاسِ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ كَانَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَدْ حَجَّ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ فَجَلَسَ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْوَلَاءُ لَنَا وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) بَلِ الْوَلَاءُ لِي فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَاتَلَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَبِي قَاتَلَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَدْ كَانَ حَظُّ أَبِيكَ فِيهِ الْأَوْفَرَ ثُمَّ فَرَّ بِخِيَانَتِهِ وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأُطَوِّقَنَّكَ غَداً طَوْقَ الْحَمَامَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ كَلَامُكَ هَذَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَعْرَةٍ فِي وَادِي الْأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ وَادٍ لَيْسَ لَكَ وَ لَا لِأَبِيكَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ قَالَ فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ إِذَا كَانَ غَداً جَلَسْتُ لَكُمْ

And a slave of the Rasool Allahsaww died and did not leave any inheritors behind. So the sons of Al-Abbas and Abu Abdullahasws disputed with regards to it, and Hisham Bin Abdul Malik was performing the Pilgrimage during that year. So he sat (in Judgement) for them. So Dawood Bin Ali said, ‘The guardianship (of this legacy) is for us’, and Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘But, the guardianship (of this legacy) is for measws’. Dawood Bin Ali said that, ‘Yourasws father fought against Muawiya’. So heasws said: ‘If myasws father fought against Muawiya, so there was for your father an abundant share of it, then he fled after his embezzlement’. And heasws said; ‘By Allahazwj! Tomorrow I shall place upon your neck the collar of the pigeons’. Dawood Bin Ali said to himasws, ‘This speech of yoursasws is lower to me than the droppings of a camel in the valley of Al-Arzaq’. Heasws said: ‘As for the valley, there is no right either for you or your father therein’. So Hisham said, ‘When it is the morning, I shall sit (in Judgement) for you’.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ خَرَجَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ مَعَهُ كِتَابٌ فِي كِرْبَاسَةٍ وَ جَلَسَ لَهُمْ هِشَامٌ فَوَضَعَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) الْكِتَابَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ قَرَأَهُ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِي جَنْدَلَ الْخُزَاعِيَّ وَ عُكَّاشَةَ الضَّمْرِيَّ وَ كَانَا شَيْخَيْنِ قَدْ أَدْرَكَا الْجَاهِلِيَّةَ فَرَمَى بِالْكِتَابِ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ تَعْرِفَانِ هَذِهِ الْخُطُوطَ قَالَا نَعَمْ هَذَا خَطُّ الْعَاصِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَ هَذَا خَطُّ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَ هَذَا خَطُّ حَرْبِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَرَى خُطُوطَ أَجْدَادِي عِنْدَكُمْ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَقَدْ قَضَيْتُ بِالْوَلَاءِ لَكَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ : إِنْ عَادَتِ الْعَقْرَبُ عُدْنَا لَهَا وَ كَانَتِ النَّعْلُ لَهَا حَاضِرَهْقَالَ

So when it was the next morning, Abu Abdullahasws came out, and with himasws was a document in a bag, and Hisham sat (in Judgement) for them. So Abu Abdullahasws place the document in front of him. So when he (Hisham) read it, he said, ‘Call Jandal Al-Jaza’iy and Ukkashat Al-Zamry for me’. And these were two old men who had lived through the era of ignorance. So He threw the document towards them and said, ‘Do you two recognise these handwritings?’ They said, ‘Yes. This is the handwriting of Al-A’as Bin Umayya, and this is the handwriting of so and so for so and so from Qureysh, and this is the handwriting of Harb Bin Umayya’. So Hisham said, ‘I see that youasws have in yourasws possession the writings of our forefathers’. Heasws said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘So I hereby judge it to be in yourasws guardianship’. Heasws went out saying: ‘If the scorpion returns, the shoe would be ready to crush it’.

فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الْكِتَابُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ نُتَيْلَةَ كَانَتْ أَمَةً لِأُمِّ الزُّبَيْرِ وَ لِأَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَهَا عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَأَوْلَدَهَا فُلَاناً فَقَالَ لَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةُ وَرِثْنَاهَا مِنْ أُمِّنَا وَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا عَبْدٌ لَنَا فَتَحَمَّلَ عَلَيْهِ بِبُطُونِ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ عَلَى خَلَّةٍ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَتَصَدَّرَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَ لَا يَضْرِبَ مَعَنَا بِسَهْمٍ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ كِتَاباً وَ أَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ.

So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, what is this document?’ Heasws said: ‘Nutaylat was a maid for the mother of Al-Zubeyr, and for Abu Talibas, and Abdullahas. So Abdul Muttalibas took her, and she gave birth to her son so and so (Al-Abbas)’. So Al-Zubeyr said to them, ‘We have inherited this maid from our mother and your son. This is a slave for us. So he took him to the middle of Qureysh. He said, ‘I will answer you on the condition that this son of your will not participate in a gathering, nor will he cast arrows with us’. So he wrote against them a document, and testified against them. So this is that document’.

H 14821 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al-Nahdy, from Muawiya Bin Hukeym, from one of his men, from Anbasat Bin Bajaad, who has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj: “[56:90] And if he is of those on the right hand, [56:91] Then the greeting from those on the right hand”, so heasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said to Aliasws: ‘These are yourasws Shites from whom yourasws children would be safe from being killed’.

H 14822 – Narrated to us Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Safwaan, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Mus’ab, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws had pledged allegiance to the Rasool Allahsaww, to be (loyal) in the hardship, and ease, and the freedom, and the restriction, until such time Al-Islam spreads and becomes strong’. And Aliasws took from them (Shites) (a Covenant) that they shall prevent from Muhammadsaww and hissaww descendants, what they had prevented themselves as well as their own children from. So Iasws also took from them (Shites). Rescued was the one who was rescued, and destroyed was the one who was destroyed’.

H 14823 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from one of our companions, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that; ‘Behind Al-Yemen there is a valley called Barhoot, and there is no permission to be in that valley except for the black (snakes) and the owls from the birds. In that valley is a well called Balhout where the souls of the ‘الْمُشْرِكِينَ’ Polytheists come to feed and be quenched from the water of pus. Behind that valley are a people called Al-Zareeh. When Allahazwj the High Sent Muhammadsaww, one of their cows shouted and struck with its tail. So it called out, ‘O children of Al-Zareeh!’ - in an eloquent voice – ‘There has come a mansaww at Tahaamat, calling to the testimony of ‘There is no god except Allahazwj’. They said, ‘What has Made Allahazwj to Make this cow to speak?’ So it called out among them for a second time’. 

فَعَزَمُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَبْنُوا سَفِينَةً فَبَنَوْهَا وَ نَزَلَ فِيهَا سَبْعَةٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ حَمَلُوا مِنَ الزَّادِ مَا قَذَفَ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا شِرَاعَهَا وَ سَيَّبُوهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ فَمَا زَالَتْ تَسِيرُ بِهِمْ حَتَّى رَمَتْ بِهِمْ بِجُدَّةَ فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ الذَّرِيحِ نَادَى فِيكُمُ الْعِجْلُ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالُوا اعْرِضْ عَلَيْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الدِّينَ وَ الْكِتَابَ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الدِّينَ وَ الْكِتَابَ وَ السُّنَنَ وَ الْفَرَائِضَ وَ الشَّرَائِعَ كَمَا جَاءَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ وَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ سَيَّرَهُ مَعَهُمْ فَمَا بَيْنَهُمُ اخْتِلَافٌ حَتَّى السَّاعَةَ.

So they decided to build a ship. So they built it and seven of them embarked in it, and they carried as much provisions as Allahazwj Struck them in their hearts. Then they raised its sails and floated it in the sea. They did not stop sailing in it until they reached Jeddah. So they came to the Prophetsaww. The Prophetsaww said to them: ‘You are the people of Al-Zareeh among whom the calf called out?’ They said, ‘Yes. O Rasool Allahsaww, present to us the Religion and the Book’. So the Rasool Allahsaww presented to them the Religion, and the Book, and the Sunnah, and the Obligation, and the Laws just as it had come from the presence of Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty, and made a guardian over them, a man from the Clan of Hashimas who journeyed with them. So there will be no differences among them until the Hour (Day of Judgement)’.

H 14824 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Hadeed, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘When the ascension (Me’raaj) took place with the Rasool Allahsaww, in the morning hesaww sat and narrated it to them (hissaww companions). So they said to himsaww, ‘Describe for us Bayt Al-Maqdas’. So hesaww described it for them, as hesaww had seen it during the night, therefore they remained vague about it. So Jibraeel came to himsaww and said: ‘Look over there!’ So hesaww looked towards Al-Bayt (Al-Maqdas) and described it to them whilst looking at it. Then hesaww described for them the caravan, which was in between them and Syria. Then said: ‘These were the camels of the Clan of so and so and will be arriving with the rise of the sun, led by a red camel’. And the Quresyh then sent a man upon a horse to turn these back, but it still arrived with the rise of the sun. Qurtat Bin Abd Amro said, ‘O a grief that I don't be for you a trunk (strong enough) when yousaww claims that yousaww came to Bait Al-Maqdis and returned in the same night (O Prophetsaww!).

H 14825 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Ayyub, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Al-Hakam Bin Muskaan, from Yusuf Bin Suheyb, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘I heard Abu Ja’far saying that: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said while turning to Abu Bakr in the cave: ‘Calm down, for Allahazwj is with us’. And he had been taken over by the trepidation, and he was not calm. So when the Rasool Allahsaww saw his state, hesaww said to him: ‘Would you like mesaww to show you mysaww companions from the Helpers narrating in their gathering? So shall Isaww show you Ja’faras and hisas companions sailing in the sea?’ He said, ‘Yes’. So the Rasool Allahsaww wiped hissaww hand upon his face. He visualised the Helpers narrating, and visualised Ja’faras and hisas companions sailing in the sea. So he avouched in that moment that hesaww was a sorcerer’.

14826- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْغَارِ مُتَوَجِّهاً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ جَعَلَتْ لِمَنْ أَخَذَهُ مِائَةً مِنَ الْإِبِلِ فَخَرَجَ سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ فِيمَنْ يَطْلُبُ فَلَحِقَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ سُرَاقَةَ بِمَا شِئْتَ

H 14826 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When the Rasool Allahsaww came out of the cave, hesaww turned his direction towards Al-Medina, and the Qureysh had placed a reward of one hundred camels for anyone who could capture himsaww. So Suraqat Bin Malik Bin Jo’sham went out in search. He met up with the Rasool Allahsaww. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Our Allahazwj! Suffice mesaww from the evil of Suraqat by whatever Youazwj so Desire to’.

فَسَاخَتْ قَوَائِمُ فَرَسِهِ فَثَنَى رِجْلَهُ ثُمَّ اشْتَدَّ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ الَّذِي أَصَابَ قَوَائِمَ فَرَسِي إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُطْلِقَ لِي فَرَسِي فَلَعَمْرِي إِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْكُمْ مِنِّي خَيْرٌ لَمْ يُصِبْكُمْ مِنِّي شَرٌّ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَطْلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَرَسَهُ فَعَادَ فِي طَلَبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يَدْعُو رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَتَأْخُذُ الْأَرْضُ قَوَائِمَ فَرَسِهِ فَلَمَّا أَطْلَقَهُ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ إِبِلِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ فِيهَا غُلَامِي فَإِنِ احْتَجْتَ إِلَى ظَهْرٍ أَوْ لَبَنٍ فَخُذْ مِنْهُ وَ هَذَا سَهْمٌ مِنْ كِنَانَتِي عَلَامَةً وَ أَنَا أَرْجِعُ فَأَرُدُّ عَنْكَ الطَّلَبَ فَقَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ.

So the legs of his horse bent and got stuck in the soil. He said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! I know that yousaww are the one who made the legs of my horse to be stuck, so call upon Allahazwj that Heazwj should Release my horse. If yousaww do not face goodness from me, yousaww will not face evil from me either’. So the Rasool Allahsaww supplicated and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Released his horse. So he went back in pursuit of Rasool Allahsaww, until he did that three times during each of which the Rasool Allahsaww supplicated and the earth grabbed the legs of his horse. So when it was Released for the third time, he said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! This is my camel in front of you along with my slave. So if yousaww need to ride upon it or its milk, so take from it. And this is an arrow from my quiver as a sign, and I am returning and will not be pursuing yousaww’. So hesaww said: ‘There is no need for us with regards to what is in your possession’.

H 14827 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Najraan, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al-Jaroud, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘You will not see that which you all are waiting for (Al-Qaimasws) until you become like the dead goat for whom the lion does not care where it places its paws on. There will be no honour for you to rise up to, and no supporter to lend you his support in your matters’.

14828- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ مَا الْمُوَاتُ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ قَالَ الَّتِي قَدِ اسْتَوَتْ لَا يَفْضُلُ بَعْضُهَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ.

H 14828 – And from him, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Al-Jaroud, similar to it. He said, ‘I said to Ali Bin Al-Hakam, ‘The dead goat (what does it mean)?’ He said, ‘That which has become the same, and there is no preference for one over the other’.

14829- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عِيصِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ انْظُرُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكُونُ لَهُ الْغَنَمُ فِيهَا الرَّاعِي فَإِذَا وَجَدَ رَجُلًا هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِغَنَمِهِ مِنَ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهَا يُخْرِجُهُ وَ يَجِي‏ءُ بِذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِغَنَمِهِ مِنَ الَّذِي كَانَ فِيهَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَتْ لِأَحَدِكُمْ نَفْسَانِ يُقَاتِلُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ يُجَرِّبُ بِهَا ثُمَّ كَانَتِ الْأُخْرَى بَاقِيَةً فَعَمِلَ عَلَى مَا قَدِ اسْتَبَانَ لَهَا وَ لَكِنْ لَهُ نَفْسٌ وَاحِدَةٌ إِذَا ذَهَبَتْ فَقَدْ وَ اللَّهِ ذَهَبَتِ التَّوْبَةُ

H 14829 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Ays Bin Al-Qasim who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘It is upon you to fear Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and look into yourselves, for, by Allahazwj, the man who has sheep and the shepherd for it, if he finds a man who is more knowledgeable about the sheep than him, would let him go and come to that man who is more knowledgeable about his sheep. By Allahazwj! If one of you had two souls, he could have fought with one, experimenting by it, then he would have worked with the other one with what has been clarified for it. But, for him there is only one soul, if it goes, by Allahazwj, the repentance goes (with it).

فَأَنْتُمْ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْتَارُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ إِنْ أَتَاكُمْ آتٍ مِنَّا فَانْظُرُوا عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَخْرُجُونَ وَ لَا تَقُولُوا خَرَجَ زَيْدٌ فَإِنَّ زَيْداً كَانَ عَالِماً وَ كَانَ صَدُوقاً وَ لَمْ يَدْعُكُمْ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ إِنَّمَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَى الرِّضَا مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) وَ لَوْ ظَهَرَ لَوَفَى بِمَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا خَرَجَ إِلَى سُلْطَانٍ مُجْتَمِعٍ لِيَنْقُضَهُ

So you are more deserving that you should choose for yourselves the one who comes to you from usasws, and upon which matter you are coming out, and do not go around saying that Zayd has come out, for Zayd was a scholar, and he was truthful, and he did not call you for himself. But rather he called to the pleasure (Al-Reza) from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and had he made an appearance he would have been loyal to what he called you to. But rather, he came out against an authority to break it.

فَالْخَارِجُ مِنَّا الْيَوْمَ إِلَى أَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَدْعُوكُمْ إِلَى الرِّضَا مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) فَنَحْنُ نُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنَّا لَسْنَا نَرْضَى بِهِ وَ هُوَ يَعْصِينَا الْيَوْمَ وَ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ وَ هُوَ إِذَا كَانَتِ الرَّايَاتُ وَ الْأَلْوِيَةُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا يَسْمَعَ مِنَّا إِلَّا مَعَ مَنِ اجْتَمَعَتْ بَنُو فَاطِمَةَ مَعَهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا صَاحِبُكُمْ إِلَّا مَنِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَيْهِ إِذَا كَانَ رَجَبٌ فَأَقْبِلُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ أَنْ تَتَأَخَّرُوا إِلَى شَعْبَانَ فَلَا ضَيْرَ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ أَنْ تَصُومُوا فِي أَهَالِيكُمْ فَلَعَلَّ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَقْوَى لَكُمْ وَ كَفَاكُمْ بِالسُّفْيَانِيِّ عَلَامَةً.

So the one who comes out from usasws today for anything, he will call you to the pleasure (Al-Reza) from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww. So weasws are testifying to you that weasws are not happy with it, and he has disobeyed usasws today. And there is no one with him and he with the banners and the flags, more worthy that he should listen from usasws except that with him would be gathered the children of Fatimaasws. By Allahazwj! What is your Masterasws (Al-Qaimasws) except that there will be gathered around himasws in the month of Rajab. So go towards himasws in the Name of Allahazwj, and if you would like to delay it to the month of Shabaan, so it is not harmful, and if you would like to Fast in your situations so that would be more strengthening for you, and let Al-Sufyani suffice for you as a sign’.

14830- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْرُجُ وَاحِدٌ مِنَّا قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا كَانَ مَثَلُهُ مَثَلَ فَرْخٍ طَارَ مِنْ وَكْرِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْتَويَ جَنَاحَاهُ فَأَخَذَهُ الصِّبْيَانُ فَعَبِثُوا بِهِ.

H 14830 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e with an unbroken chain, has narrated the following:

Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws has said: ‘By Allahazwj! There will not come out any one from usasws before the coming out of Al-Qaimasws except that his example would be of a nestling trying to come out from its nest before its wings have been formed, so the young boys grab hold of it and play with it’.

14831- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَا سَدِيرُ الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ وَ كُنْ حِلْساً مِنْ أَحْلَاسِهِ وَ اسْكُنْ مَا سَكَنَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ فَإِذَا بَلَغَكَ أَنَّ السُّفْيَانِيَّ قَدْ خَرَجَ فَارْحَلْ إِلَيْنَا وَ لَوْ عَلَى رِجْلِكَ.

H 14831 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usmaan Bin Isa, from Bakr Bin Muhammad, from Sudeyr who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘O Sudeyr! Be seated in your houses and remain calm, and stay like that overnight, and when the day arrives, and Al-Sufyani has come out, so get out to come to usasws even if you have to walk on your feet’.

H 14832 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Kamil Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al-Ju’fy who said:

My father narrated to me that he came up to Abu Abdullahasws whoasws said; ‘Why is it that Iasws see you with a grim face?’ So I said, ‘I have fever’. So heasws said: ‘What prevents you from the blessed and good. Take the sugar and dissolve it in the water and drink it on an empty stomach and during the evening’. He said, ‘I did that, so it (fever) did not return to me’.

14833- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) الْوَجَعَ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَوَيْتَ إِلَى فِرَاشِكَ فَكُلْ سُكَّرَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَبَرَأْتُ وَ أَخْبَرْتُ بِهِ بَعْضَ الْمُتَطَبِّبِينَ وَ كَانَ أَفْرَهَ أَهْلِ بِلَادِنَا فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ عَرَفَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) هَذَا هَذَا مِنْ مَخْزُونِ عِلْمِنَا أَمَا إِنَّهُ صَاحِبُ كُتُبٍ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ أَصَابَهُ فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِهِ.

H 14833 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al-No’man, from one of our companions who said:

I complained to Abu Abdullahasws of the aches, so heasws said: ‘When you go to your bed, take two (pieces) of sugar’. So he said, ‘I did it. So I was free from it, and I informed one of the doctors who was a renowned one of our city. He said, ‘From where did Abu Abdullahasws understand this? This is from the treasures of our knowledge. But heasws is the owner of Books. He probably got it from one of hisasws Books’.

14834- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخُزَاعِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تُعَالِجُونَ مَحْمُومَكُمْ إِذَا حُمَّ قَالَ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَذِهِ الْأَدْوِيَةِ الْمُرَّةِ بَسْفَايَجٍ وَ الْغَافِثِ وَ مَا أَشْبَهَهُ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْرِئَ بِالْمُرِّ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُبْرِئَ بِالْحُلْوِ

H 14834 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Yahya Al-Khazai’e, from Al-Husayn Bin Al-Hassan, from Aasim Bin Yunus, from a man, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said to a man: ‘With what thing do you cure your sick when they have fever?’ He said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep you well, by these bitter medicines – by Safaayaj, and Al-Ghafas, and similar to these’. So heasws said: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj, the One Whoazwj has the Power to Free (Cure) with the bitter (medication) also has the Power to Free (Cure) with the sweet’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا حُمَّ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَأْخُذْ إِنَاءً نَظِيفاً فَيَجْعَلَ فِيهِ سُكَّرَةً وَ نِصْفاً ثُمَّ يَقْرَأَ عَلَيْهِ مَا حَضَرَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثُمَّ يَضَعَهَا تَحْتَ النُّجُومِ وَ يَجْعَلَ عَلَيْهَا حَدِيدَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي الْغَدَاةِ صَبَّ عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ وَ مَرَسَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَهُ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ زَادَهُ سُكَّرَةً أُخْرَى فَصَارَتْ سُكَّرَتَيْنِ وَ نِصْفاً فَإِذَا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ زَادَهُ سُكَّرَةً أُخْرَى فَصَارَتْ ثَلَاثَ سُكَّرَاتٍ وَ نِصْفاً.

Then said: ‘If one of you has fever, so he should take a clean container, and place sugar in it, then recite over it what he knows from the Quran. Then he should place it underneath the stars (at night in the open), and place iron in it. So when it is the morning, pour some water on it and mix it with his hand, then drink it. So when it is the second night, increase another (piece of) sugar in it so it becomes two and a half times as much. So when it is the third night, increase another (piece of) sugar so it become three and a half times as much’.

14835- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ لِي كَتَمُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَنِعْمَ وَ اللَّهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ كَتَمُوهَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِذَا دَخَلَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ قُرَيْشٌ يَجْهَرُ بِبِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ يَرْفَعُ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَتُوَلِّي قُرَيْشٌ فِرَاراً فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ إِذا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْا عَلى أَدْبارِهِمْ نُفُوراً.

H 14835 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Najraan, from Haroun, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said to me: ‘They have concealed ‘بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ’ ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’. So, by Allahazwj, they have concealed the Best Name. The Rasool Allahsaww, when heasws used to enter hissaww house, and the Quresyh were gathered against himsaww, would say loudly ‘بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ’ ‘In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful’, and raise hissaww voice with it. The Qureysh would then flee. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed with regards to that: “[17:46] And We have placed coverings on their hearts and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and when you mention your Lord alone in the Quran they turn their backs in aversion”.’

14836- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْمَكْفُوفِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِذَا ذَكَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَالَ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ قَوْمِي وَ عَشِيرَتِي عَجَبٌ لِلْعَرَبِ كَيْفَ لَا تَحْمِلُنَا عَلَى رُءُوسِهَا وَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ كُنْتُمْ عَلى شَفا حُفْرَةٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَنْقَذَكُمْ مِنْها فَبِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أُنْقِذُوا.

H 14836 – From him, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Najraan, from Abu Haroun Al-Makfouf, who has narrated the following:

Whenever Abu Abdullahasws mentioned the Rasool Allahsaww, he would say: ‘By myasws fatherasws, and myasws motheras, and by myasws people, and myasws relatives! It is strange of the Arabs, how they have not carried usasws upon their heads, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying in Hisazwj Book: “[3:103] and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it”, so it was by the Rasool Allahsaww that they were saved’.

14837- عَنْهُ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي سَمَّاكٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ فَرْقَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى مَوْلَى آلِ سَامٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَ تَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشاءُ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ آتَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ الْمُلْكَ قَالَ لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ إِلَيْهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آتَانَا الْمُلْكَ وَ أَخَذَتْهُ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ لَهُ الثَّوْبُ فَيَأْخُذُهُ الْآخَرُ فَلَيْسَ هُوَ لِلَّذِي أَخَذَهُ.

H 14837 – From him, from Ibrahim bin Abu Bakr Bin Abu Sammaak, from Dawood Bin Farqad, from Abdul A’ala the slave of the progeny of Saam, who has said:

I asked from Abu Abdullahasws (about): “[3:26] Say: O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! You give the kingdom to whomsoever You please to and take away the kingdom from whomsoever You please to”. Has not Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Given the kingdom to the Clan of Umayya?’ Heasws said; ‘This is not as, where you are going with it.

Allahazwj Gave usasws the kingdom and the Clan of Umayya took it away, like the man who has his clothes and another one takes it away from him, so it still does not belong to the one who took it (unlawfully)’.

H 14838 – Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Salt, from Abdullah Bin Al-Salt, from yunus, from Al-Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Muhammad Al-Halby, who has said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[57:17] Know that Allah gives life to the earth after its death”. Heasws said: ‘The justice, after the oppression’.

14839- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَشْيَمَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) عَنْ ذِي الْفَقَارِ سَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ كَانَتْ حَلْقَتُهُ فِضَّةً.

H 14839 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Asheym, from Safwaan Bin Yahya who said:

I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws about Zi Al-Fiqaar (Zulfiqaar), the sword of the Rasool Allahsaww. Heasws said: ‘Jibraeel as came down with it from the sky, and it hilt was made of silver’.

H 14840 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Yusuf Bin Abu Saeed who said:

I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws one day, so heasws said to me: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement and Allahazwj Blessed and High Gathers the creatures, Noahas would be the first one to be called. It will be said to himas: ‘Did youas preach?’ So heas will say: ‘Yes’. It will be said to himas: ‘Who will testify for youas?’ So heas will say: ‘Muhammad Bin Abdullahsaww’.

قَالَ فَيَخْرُجُ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) فَيَتَخَطَّى النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَجِي‏ءَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ هُوَ عَلَى كَثِيبِ الْمِسْكِ وَ مَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَيَقُولُ نُوحٌ لِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى سَأَلَنِي هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ فَقُلْتُ مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَيَقُولُ يَا جَعْفَرُ يَا حَمْزَةُ اذْهَبَا وَ اشْهَدَا لَهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَجَعْفَرٌ وَ حَمْزَةُ هُمَا الشَّاهِدَانِ لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) بِمَا بَلَّغُوا فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَعَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) أَيْنَ هُوَ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مَنْزِلَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ.

Heasws said: ‘So Noahas would go out and pass over the people until heas would come to Muhammadsaww, and hesaww would be clothed in the musk, and with himsaww would be Aliasws, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[67:27] But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry”. So Noahas will say to Muhammadsaww: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Allahazwj Blessed and High Questioned meas Saying: “Did youas preach?” Ias said: ‘Yes’. So Heazwj Said: “Who will testify for youas?’ So Ias said: ‘Muhammadsaww’. So hesaww will say: ‘O Ja’faras, O Hamzaas, go and testify for himas that heas did preach’. So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Thus Ja’faras and Hamzaas are the two witnesses for the Prophetsas of what theyas had preached’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, so where will Aliasws be?’ Heasws said: ‘Heasws is of a status greater than that’.

14841- حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَقْسِمُ لَحَظَاتِهِ بَيْنَ أَصْحَابِهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ذَا وَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى ذَا بِالسَّوِيَّةِ.

H 14841 – Narrated to me Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Jameel, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww used to divide hissaww moments between hissaww companions. Hesaww would look at this one, and look at that one equally’.

14842- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مَا كَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْعِبَادَ بِكُنْهِ عَقْلِهِ قَطُّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ نُكَلِّمَ النَّاسَ عَلَى قَدْرِ عُقُولِهِمْ.

H 14842 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from one of our companions who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww did not speak to the servants in accordance with hissaww own reasoning and intellect, at all. The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The group of Prophetsas, weas have been Commanded that weas should speak to the people in accordance with their intellects’.

14843- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ وَ أَنَا أَدِينُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِأَنَّكُمْ مَوَالِيَّ وَ قَدْ يَسْأَلُنِي بَعْضُ مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُنِي فَيَقُولُ لِي مِمَّنِ الرَّجُلُ فَأَقُولُ لَهُ أَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَجِيلَةَ فَعَلَيَّ فِي هَذَا إِثْمٌ حَيْثُ لَمْ أَقُلْ إِنِّي مَوْلًى لِبَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَقَالَ لَا أَ لَيْسَ قَلْبُكَ وَ هَوَاكَ مُنْعَقِداً عَلَى أَنَّكَ مِنْ مَوَالِينَا فَقُلْتُ بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِي أَنْ تَقُولَ أَنَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فِي النَّسَبِ وَ الْعَطَاءِ وَ الْعَدَدِ وَ الْحَسَبِ فَأَنْتَ فِي الدِّينِ وَ مَا حَوَى الدِّينُ بِمَا تَدِينُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مِنْ طَاعَتِنَا وَ الْأَخْذِ بِهِ مِنَّا مِنْ مَوَالِينَا وَ مِنَّا وَ إِلَيْنَا.

H 14843 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and a number of our companions, from Sahl Biin Ziyad together from Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya who said:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘I am a man from Bajilat (tribe), and I am on the Religion of Allahazwj by having befriended youasws, and some who do not know me have asked me by saying to me, ‘Who are you?’, so I say to them, ‘I am a man from the Arabs’, then (I say), from Bajilat. So is this a sin for me where I do not say that I am a friend (Mawaly) of the Clan of Hashimas?’ So heasws said: ‘No. Is not your heart and your desire determined upon that you are from ourasws friends?’ So I said, ‘Yes, by Allahazwj!’ So heasws said: ‘It is not upon you to say, ‘I am from the Arabs’. But rather, you are from the Arabs with regards to the lineage, and the gifts, and the number, and the nobility. But you are, with regards to the Religion, and what you had made a Religion by what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made from being obedient to usasws and taking to it from usasws. You are from usasws, and from ourasws friends, and from usasws and to usasws’.

14844- حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى كَوْكَبِ الدَّمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ حَوَارِيَّ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) كَانُوا شِيعَتَهُ وَ إِنَّ شِيعَتَنَا حَوَارِيُّونَا وَ مَا كَانَ حَوَارِيُّ عِيسَى بِأَطْوَعَ لَهُ مِنْ حَوَارِيِّنَا لَنَا وَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) لِلْحَوَارِيِّينَ مَنْ أَنْصارِي إِلَى اللَّهِ قالَ الْحَوارِيُّونَ نَحْنُ أَنْصارُ اللَّهِ فَلَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا نَصَرُوهُ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ لَا قَاتَلُوهُمْ دُونَهُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَ اللَّهِ لَمْ يَزَالُوا مُنْذُ قَبَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ رَسُولَهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَنْصُرُونَّا وَ يُقَاتِلُونَ دُونَنَا وَ يُحْرَقُونَ وَ يُعَذَّبُونَ وَ يُشَرَّدُونَ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ جَزَاهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنَّا خَيْراً وَ قَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ ضَرَبْتُ خَيْشُومَ مُحِبِّينَا بِالسَّيْفِ مَا أَبْغَضُونَا وَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَدْنَيْتُ إِلَى مُبْغِضِينَا وَ حَثَوْتُ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَالِ مَا أَحَبُّونَا.

H 14844 – Narrated to us Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Yahya Kowkab Al-Dam, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘The disciples of Isaas were hisas Shites, and that ourasws Shites are ourasws disciples and the disciples of Isaas were not more obedient to himas than ourasws Shites are to usasws. But rather, Isaas said to the disciples: “[3:52] Who will be my helpers in Allah's way? The disciples said: We are helpers (in the way) of Allah”. So No, by Allahazwj, none from the Jews helped himas nor did they fight for himas. And ourasws Shites, by Allahazwj, since Allahazwj Captured the Rasool Allahsaww, have never ceased to help usasws, and they fought for usasws, and they were burnt, and tortured, and displaced in the cities. May Allahazwj Recompense them goodly from usasws. And Amir-ul- Momineenasws has said: ‘By Allahazwj! Even if Iasws were to strike the noses of those who love usasws with the sword, they will not hate usasws, and by Allahazwj, if Iasws were to approach those that hate usasws and urge them by the wealth they will still not love usasws’.

14845- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلًا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ الرَّاسِخُونَ فِي الْعِلْمِ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمَّا هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَظْهَرَ الْإِسْلَامَ كَتَبَ إِلَى مَلِكِ الرُّومِ كِتَاباً وَ بَعَثَ بِهِ مَعَ رَسُولٍ يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَ كَتَبَ إِلَى مَلِكِ فَارِسَ كِتَاباً يَدْعُوهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَيْهِ مَعَ رَسُولِهِ

H 14845 – Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Abu Ubeyda who said:

I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[30:1] Alif Lam Mim [30:2] The Romans have been defeated [30:3] In a near land”. O Abu Ubeyda! No one knows the explanation of this except for Allahazwj and the onesasws firmly rooted in Knowledge from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww. The Rasool Allahsaww, when hesaww migrated to Al-Medina and displayed Al-Islam, hesaww wrote to the king of Rome a letter, and sent it with a messenger calling him to Al-Islam, and hesaww wrote a letter to the king of Persia a letter calling him to Al-Islam and sent it with hissaww messenger to him.

فَأَمَّا مَلِكُ الرُّومِ فَعَظَّمَ كِتَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ أَكْرَمَ رَسُولَهُ وَ أَمَّا مَلِكُ فَارِسَ فَإِنَّهُ اسْتَخَفَّ بِكِتَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ مَزَّقَهُ وَ اسْتَخَفَّ بِرَسُولِهِ وَ كَانَ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يُقَاتِلُ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ وَ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَهْوَوْنَ أَنْ يَغْلِبَ مَلِكُ الرُّومِ مَلِكَ فَارِسَ وَ كَانُوا لِنَاحِيَتِهِ أَرْجَى مِنْهُمْ لِمَلِكِ فَارِسَ فَلَمَّا غَلَبَ مَلِكُ فَارِسَ مَلِكَ الرُّومِ كَرِهَ ذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ اغْتَمُّوا بِهِ

So, as for the king of Rome, so he respected the letter and honoured hissaww messenger, and as for the king of Persia, so he belittled the letter of the Rasool Allahsaww, and tore it up and belittled hissaww messenger. In those days the king of Persia was at war with the king of Rome, and the Muslims desired that the king of Rome should overcome the king of Persia, and they were on his side hoping against the king of Persia. So when the king of Persia overcame the king of Rome the Muslims did not like that and were grieved by it.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِذَلِكَ كِتَاباً قُرْآناً الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي غَلَبَتْهَا فَارِسُ فِي أَدْنَى الْأَرْضِ وَ هِيَ الشَّامَاتُ وَ مَا حَوْلَهَا وَ هُمْ يَعْنِي وَ فَارِسُ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ الرُّومَ سَيَغْلِبُونَ يَعْنِي يَغْلِبُهُمُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشاءُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمَّا غَزَا الْمُسْلِمُونَ فَارِسَ وَ افْتَتَحُوهَا فَرِحَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

So Allahazwj Revealed with that in the Quran: “[30:1] Alif Lam Mim [30:2] The Romans have been defeated [30:3] In a near land”, meaning it was overcome by Persia in a nearby land, and it is Syria and what is around it, and they, meaning Persia from after having overcome Rome will be overcoming, meaning the Muslims would be overcoming, “[30:4] Within a few years. Allah's is the command before and after; and on that day the believers shall rejoice [30:5] With the help of Allah; He helps whom He pleases” and Heazwj is Mighty and Majestic. So when the Muslims invaded Persia and conquered it, the Muslims were happy with the Help of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ وَ قَدْ مَضَى لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ سِنُونَ كَثِيرَةٌ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ فِي إِمَارَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ إِنَّمَا غَلَبَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَارِسَ فِي إِمَارَةِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ أَ لَمْ أَقُلْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلًا وَ تَفْسِيراً وَ الْقُرْآنُ يَا أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ نَاسِخٌ وَ مَنْسُوخٌ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ لِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِلَّهِ الْأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مِنْ بَعْدُ يَعْنِي إِلَيْهِ الْمَشِيئَةُ فِي الْقَوْلِ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ مَا قَدَّمَ وَ يُقَدِّمَ مَا أَخَّرَ فِي الْقَوْلِ إِلَى يَوْمٍ يَحْتِمُ الْقَضَاءَ بِنُزُولِ النَّصْرِ فِيهِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللَّهِ يَنْصُرُ مَنْ يَشاءُ أَيْ يَوْمَ يَحْتِمُ الْقَضَاءَ بِالنَّصْر.

So I said, ‘Does not Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Say: “[30:4] Within a few years”, whereas the Believers spent many years with the Rasool Allahsaww, and in the rule of Abu Bakr. But rather, the Believers overcame Persia during the rule of Umar’. So heasws said: ‘Did Iasws not say to you that this is the explanation and the interpretation? O Abu Ubeyda! And the Quran has Abrogating (verses) and Abrogated (Verses). Have you not heard the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “Allah's is the command before and after”? It means the Decision is Hisazwj in the Words whether heazwj Delays what was to happen first, or to bring forward that which was Delayed in the Words up to the Day the matter has been Ordained to occur by the Descent of the Help upon the Believers with regards to it. So that is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “and on that day the believers shall rejoice [30:5] With the help of Allah; He helps whom He pleases”, yes, the day on which the Help has been Ordained to occur’.

14846- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ الْعَامَّةَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ بَيْعَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ حَيْثُ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ كَانَتْ رِضًا لِلَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ مَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيَفْتِنَ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَ وَ مَا يَقْرَءُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ أَ وَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً وَ سَيَجْزِي اللَّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ

H 14846 – Ibn Mahboub, from Amro Bin Abu Al-Maqdaam, from his father who said:

I said to Abu Ja’farasws that: ‘The generality (of the Muslims) are alleging that the pledging of the allegiances to Abu Bakr where the people gathered was with the Pleasure of Allahazwj and Allahazwj did not like the strife (Fitna) in the community of Muhammadsaww after himsaww. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Have you not recited the Book of Allahazwj? Has not Allahazwj said: “[3:144] And Muhammad is no more than a messenger; the messengers have already passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon his heels, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least and Allah will reward the grateful”

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّهُمْ يُفَسِّرُونَ عَلَى وَجْهٍ آخَرَ فَقَالَ أَ وَ لَيْسَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنِ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ أَنَّهُمْ قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا جَاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ حَيْثُ قَالَ وَ آتَيْنا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّناتِ وَ أَيَّدْناهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَ لَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ مَا اقْتَتَلَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما جاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّناتُ وَ لكِنِ اخْتَلَفُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ آمَنَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَفَرَ وَ لَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ مَا اقْتَتَلُوا وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ ما يُرِيدُ وَ فِي هَذَا مَا يُسْتَدَلُّ بِهِ عَلَى أَنَّ أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَدِ اخْتَلَفُوا مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ آمَنَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَفَرَ.

I said to himasws, ‘They are explaining it upon another perspective’. So heasws said: ‘Has not Allahazwj Informed about those who were before them from the communities who had differed from after the Proofs had come to them, where Heazwj Said: “[2:253] and We gave clear miracles to Isa son of Marium, and strengthened him with the holy spirit. And if Allah had pleased, those after them would not have fought one with another after clear arguments had come to them, but they disagreed; so there were some of them who believed and others who denied; and if Allah had pleased they would not have fought one with another, but Allah brings about what He intends”, and in this is the evidence against the companions of Muhammadsaww who had differed among (themselves) after himsaww. “So there were some of them who believed and others who denied”.

14847- عَنْهُ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ فَرَأَيْتُ مَوْلًى لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَمِلْتُ إِلَيْهِ لِأَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) سَاجِداً فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ طَوِيلًا فَطَالَ سُجُودُهُ عَلَيَّ فَقُمْتُ وَ صَلَّيْتُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ انْصَرَفْتُ وَ هُوَ بَعْدُ سَاجِدٌ فَسَأَلْتُ مَوْلَاهُ مَتَى سَجَدَ فَقَالَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَأْتِيَنَا فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ كَلَامِي رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتاً خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ مَا هَذِهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ الْمُرْتَفِعَةُ فَقُلْتُ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْمُرْجِئَةِ وَ الْقَدَرِيَّةِ وَ الْمُعْتَزِلَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ يُرِيدُونِّي فَقُمْ بِنَا فَقُمْتُ مَعَهُ

H 14847 – From him, from Hisham Bin Saalim, from Abdul Hameed, Bin Abu Al-A’la who said:

I came up to the Sacred Masjid, so I saw a slave of Abu Abdullahasws. So I went to him to ask him about Abu Abdullahasws and I saw that Abu Abdullahasws was in prostration. So I waited for himasws for a long time as hisasws prostration was prolonged. So I stood up and Prayed some cycles of Salat and finished, and heasws was still in prostration. So I asked the slave, ‘From when has heasws been in prostration?’ He said, ‘From before I came in’. So when heasws overheard our conversation, heasws raised hisasws head, then said: ‘Abu Muhammad, come closer to measws’. So I approached and greeted himasws. Heasws heard voiced behind himasws so heasws said; ‘What are these raised voices?’ I said, ‘Those are a group of Murjiites, and the Qadiriyya, and the Mu’tazila’. Heasws said: ‘The people want measws, so come with measws’. I stood up and went with himasws.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَوْهُ نَهَضُوا نَحْوَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ عَنِّي وَ لَا تُؤْذُونِي وَ تَعْرِضُونِي لِلسُّلْطَانِ فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِمُفْتٍ لَكُمْ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَ تَرَكَهُمْ وَ مَضَى فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ سَجَدَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بَعْدَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ التَّكَبُّرِ عُمُرَ الدُّنْيَا مَا نَفَعَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا قَبِلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ مَا لَمْ يَسْجُدْ لآِدَمَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لَهُ وَ كَذَلِكَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ الْعَاصِيَةُ الْمَفْتُونَةُ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ بَعْدَ تَرْكِ هِمُ الْإِمَامَ الَّذِي نَصَبَهُ نَبِيُّهُمْ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَهُمْ فَلَنْ يَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَهُمْ عَمَلًا وَ لَنْ يَرْفَعَ لَهُمْ حَسَنَةً حَتَّى يَأْتُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ وَ يَتَوَلَّوُا الْإِمَامَ الَّذِي أُمِرُوا بِوَلَايَتِهِ وَ يَدْخُلُوا مِنَ الْبَابِ الَّذِي فَتَحَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رَسُولُهُ لَهُمْ

When they saw himasws they stood up for himasws, so heasws said: ‘Restrain yourselves from measws and do not hurt measws and expose measws to the authorities, for Iasws am not a Mufti (Issuer of Fatawa for you all’. Then heasws took me by the hand and left them and went away. So when we came out form the Masjid, heasws said to me: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Even if Ibleesla has prostrated to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic after the disobedience and the arrogance for the entire life of the world that would not benefit himla and Allahazwj will not Accept it, as hela did not prostrate to Adamas as Allahazwj had Commanded himla to prostrate to himas, and similar to that is this community, disobedient and mischievous after its Prophetsaww and after they having abandoned the Imamasws whom hesaww had Established among them for (their benefit). So Allahazwj will never Accept their deeds, and will never Raise their good deeds until they come to Allahazwj from where Heazwj had Commanded them, and befriend the Imamasws whose Wilayah they had been Commanded (to submit), and enter through the Door which Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww had Opened for them.

يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ افْتَرَضَ عَلَى أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) خَمْسَ فَرَائِضَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ الصِّيَامَ وَ الْحَجَّ وَ وَلَايَتَنَا فَرَخَّصَ لَهُمْ فِي أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْفَرَائِضِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ وَ لَمْ يُرَخِّصْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي تَرْكِ وَلَايَتِنَا لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا فِيهَا رُخْصَةٌ.

O Abu Muhammad! Surely Allahazwj has Necessitated upon the community of Muhammadsaww five Obligations – the Salat, and the Zakat, and the Fasts, and the Pilgrimage, and ourasws Wilayah. And Heazwj Exempted them from four Obligations but did not Exempt anyone from the Muslims in leaving ourasws Wilayah. No, by Allahazwj, there is no Exemption in this’.

Abu Abdullahasws has said that: ‘Allahazwj has Set a term for the one for whom Heazwj Made to be in authority, and a time period of nights, and days, and years and months. So if they behave with justice among the people, Allahazwj Commands the Master of the Orbits to slow down the administration, so as to prolong their days, and their nights, and their years, and their months. And if they are tyrannous among the people and are unjust, Allahazwj Commands the Master of the Orbits to quicken its administration, so as to reduce their nights, and their days, and their years, and their months. And Allahazwj has Fulfilled for them the numbers of the nights and the months’.

H 14849 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Al-Fazl, from Arzamy who said:

I was seated with Abu Abdullahasws in the chamber underneath the shade and a man was disputing with a man, and one of them was saying to his companion, ‘By Allahazwj, I do not know from where the wind blows’. So when he said it many times, Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘So do you know?’ He said, ‘No, but I heard the people talking about it’. So I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, from where does the wind blow?’ Heasws said: ‘It is captivated under this Al-Shamy corner. So if Allahazwj Intends that Heazwj Takes something out of it, Heazwj Takes it out, whether it is the South (wind) so it is the South, and whether it is the North (wind) so it is the North, and Saba (wind) so it is the Saba, and Dabour (wind) so it is the Dabour’. Then heasws said: ‘From the signs of that is that you will never stop seeing this corner moving ever, in the winter, and the summer, and the night, and the day’.

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, so what are the signs with regards to what is in between us and youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘The earth will not depart (end), O Fazl, until the Sufyani comes out. So if the Sufyani comes out, so answer to usasws (to ourasws call)’. And heasws said it thrice: ‘And it is inevitable’.

H 14861 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraaj who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about Ibleesla, ‘Was hela from the Angels or was hela in charge of something from the matters of the sky?’ So heasws said: ‘Hela was not from the Angels, nor was hela in charge of anything from the matters of the sky, nor was hela honourable’. I came up to Al-Tayyaar, so I informed him of what I had heard, He denied it and said, ‘How can hela not be from the Angels and Allahazwj is Saying: “[2:34] And when We said to the angels: Make obeisance to Adam they did obeisance, but Iblis (did it not)”. Al-Tayyaar came up to himasws, so he asked himasws and I was in hisasws presence, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, do youasws see that the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “O you those who believe”, and in another place where the Believers are addressed, are the hypocrites included in this?’ The Imamasws replied: ‘Yes, the hypocrites are included in this, and the strayed ones, and everyone who accepted the Call apparently’.

14862- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فَأَجْعَلُ بَعْضَ صَلَاتِي لَكَ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَجْعَلُ نِصْفَ صَلَاتِي لَكَ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلُ لَكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي أُصَلِّي فَأَجْعَلُ كُلَّ صَلَاتِي لَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِذاً يَكْفِيَكَ اللَّهُ مَا أَهَمَّكَ مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَاكَ وَ آخِرَتِكَ

H 14862 – From him, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Maraazam, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that a man came up to the Rasool Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww! Can I make half of my Salats for yousaww?’ So hesaww said: ‘That would be preferable for you’. So he said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, so when I Pray, can I make the whole of my Salat for yousaww?’ So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Then Allahazwj would Suffice for you for what concerns you from the affairs of your world and your Hereafter’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَلَّفَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا لَمْ يُكَلِّفْهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ كَلَّفَهُ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ كُلِّهِمْ وَحْدَهُ بِنَفْسِهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فِئَةً تُقَاتِلُ مَعَهُ وَ لَمْ يُكَلِّفْ هَذَا أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ قَبْلَهُ وَ لَا بَعْدَهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَقاتِلْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لا تُكَلَّفُ إِلَّا نَفْسَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ لَهُ مَا أَخَذَ لِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثالِها وَ جُعِلَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِعَشْرِ حَسَنَاتٍ.

Then Abu Abdullahasws said that: ‘Allahazwj Mandated the Rasool Allahsaww, with what Heazwj never Mandated anyone from Hisazwj creatures. Heazwj Mandated to himsaww that hesaww should go out to all of the people alone, by himselfsaww, even if hesaww could find a group who would fight alongside himsaww. And Heazwj never Mandated this to anyone from Hisazwj creatures before himsaww, nor after himsaww’. Then heasws recited this Verse: “[4:84] Fight then in Allah's way; this is not imposed on you except In relation to yourself”. Then said: ‘And Allahazwj Made it such that hesaww should take for Himazwj what hesaww takes for himselfsaww. So Allahazwj Said: “[6:160] Whoever brings a good deed, he shall have ten like it”, and Made the Salat to the Rasool Allahsaww by ten (times) the Rewards’.

14863- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ رَوْحٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ الصَّائِغِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ نُورٌ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ لَيَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْأَرْضِ كَمَا تَنْظُرُونَ أَنْتُمْ إِلَى الْكَوْكَبِ الدُّرِّيِّ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ إِنَّ بَعْضَهُمْ لَيَقُولُ لِبَعْضٍ يَا فُلَانُ عَجَباً لِفُلَانٍ كَيْفَ أَصَابَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ أَبِي (عليه السلام) وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْجَبُ مِمَّنْ هَلَكَ كَيْفَ هَلَكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَعْجَبُ مِمَّنْ نَجَا كَيْفَ نَجَا.

H 14863 – From him, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Mansour Bin Rawh, from Al-Saaig who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘By Allahazwj! You (Shites) are a light in the darkness of the earth. By Allahazwj! The inhabitants of the sky are looking at you all in the darkness of the earth, just like you are looking towards the brilliant star in the sky. And that some of them are saying to the others, ‘O so and so, it is astonishing how he came to acquire this Matter (Al-Wilayah)’, and these are the words of myasws fatherasws: ‘By Allahazwj! It is not astonishing to see the one who is destroyed, how he came to be destroyed, but it is astonishing to see the one who was saved, how he came to be saved’.

14864- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ مَنْ سَافَرَ أَوْ تَزَوَّجَ وَ الْقَمَرُ فِي الْعَقْرَبِ لَمْ يَرَ الْحُسْنَى.

H 14864 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Humraan, from his father, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The one who travels or gets married whilst the moon is in the Scorpio will never see the goodness’.

14865- عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَطَاءٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قُمْ فَأَسْرِجْ دَابَّتَيْنِ حِمَاراً وَ بَغْلًا فَأَسْرَجْتُ حِمَاراً وَ بَغْلًا فَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِ الْبَغْلَ وَ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّهُ أَحَبُّهُمَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَمَرَكَ أَنْ تُقَدِّمَ إِلَيَّ هَذَا الْبَغْلَ قُلْتُ اخْتَرْتُهُ لَكَ قَالَ وَ أَمَرْتُكَ أَنْ تَخْتَارَ لِي ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْمَطَايَا إِلَيَّ الْحُمُرُ

H 14865 – From him, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Anbasat Bin Hishaam, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Al-Hakam Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Qasim that he heard Abdullah Bin Ata’a saying that:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Arise, and saddle two animals, a donkey and a mule’. So I saddled a donkey and a mule and offered the mule to himasws as I opined that it was more beloved of the two to himasws. heasws said: ‘Who ordered you to offer to measws this mule?’ I said, ‘I chose it for youasws’. Heasws said: ‘And did Iasws order you to choose for measws?’ Then said: ‘The most preferable of the pack, to measws is the donkey’.

قَالَ فَقَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِ الْحِمَارَ وَ أَمْسَكْتُ لَهُ بِالرِّكَابِ فَرَكِبَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَ عَلَّمَنَا الْقُرْآنَ وَ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَ مَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَ إِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ سَارَ وَ سِرْتُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْنَا مَوْضِعاً آخَرَ قُلْتُ لَهُ الصَّلَاةَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ هَذَا وَادِي النَّمْلِ لَا يُصَلَّى فِيهِ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْنَا مَوْضِعاً آخَرَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الْأَرْضُ مَالِحَةٌ لَا يُصَلَّى فِيهَا

So I offered the donkey to himasws and grabbed the reins for himasws. Heasws climbed upon it and said; ‘Praise be to Allahazwj Who Guided usasws by Al-Islam, and Taught usasws the Quran, and Bestowed upon usasws by Muhammadsaww. Praise be to Allahazwj “[43:13] Who made this subservient to us and we were not able to do it [43:14] And surely to our Lord we must return”, and Praise be to Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the Worlds’. And heasws went and I went (with himasws) until we reached another place. I said to himasws, ‘The Salat, may I be sacrificed for youasws’. Heasws said: ‘This is a valley of the ants, one cannot Pray here’, until we reached another place. I said to himasws similar to that. Heasws said; ‘This is a salty ground, one cannot Pray here’. 

قَالَ حَتَّى نَزَلَ هُوَ مِنْ قِبَلِ نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ لِي صَلَّيْتَ أَوْ تُصَلِّي سُبْحَتَكَ قُلْتُ هَذِهِ صَلَاةٌ تُسَمِّيهَا أَهْلُ الْعِرَاقِ الزَّوَالَ فَقَالَ أَمَا هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ هُمْ شِيعَةُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) وَ هِيَ صَلَاةُ الْأَوَّابِينَ فَصَلَّى وَ صَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَمْسَكْتُ لَهُ بِالرِّكَابِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ فِي بِدَايَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْمُرْجِئَةَ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَعْدَاؤُنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا ذَكَّرَكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الْمُرْجِئَةَ فَقَالَ خَطَرُوا عَلَى بَالِي.

(The narrator) said, ‘Until heasws descended by himselfasws. Heasws said to me: ‘Have you Prayed or done your Glorification (Tasbeeh)?’ I said, ‘This Salat which the people of Iraq have named it as Al-Zawwaal’. So heasws said: ‘Those who perform the ‘Salat’, are the Shites of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and it is the Salat which often reaches Allahazwj’. So heasws Prayed, and I Prayed. Then I grabbed the reins for himasws, then heasws said what heasws had said at the beginning, then said: ‘Our Allahazwj! Curse the Murjiites[27], for they are ourasws enemies in the world and the Hereafter’. So I said to himasws: ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, what made youasws to remember the Murjiites?’ Heasws said: ‘Iasws just thought about them’.

(Hadith 14866 is not translated, as it praises the virtues of Abu Lahab, which is impossible to be true, as per the Ahadith and Holy Quran), See Appendix.

14867- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ إِبْلِيسُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ يُقَلِّلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْكُفَّارِ وَ يُكَثِّرُ الْكُفَّارَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَشَدَّ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) بِالسَّيْفِ فَهَرَبَ مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنِّي مُؤَجَّلٌ إِنِّي مُؤَجَّلٌ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِي الْبَحْرِ

H 14867 – From him, from Abaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘On the Day of Badr, Ibleesla used to belittle the Muslims in the eyes of the infidels, and magnify the infidels in the eyes of the Muslims. So Jibraelas pulled the sword against himla and hela fled from himas and hela was saying, ‘O Jibraeelas, Ila have been Granted a term, Ila have been Granted a term’, until hela ended up in the sea’.

قَالَ زُرَارَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ كَانَ يَخَافُ وَ هُوَ مُؤَجَّلٌ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ بَعْضَ أَطْرَافِهِ.

Zurara (the narrator) said, ‘So I said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘What was it that hela was afraid of since hela had been Granted a specific term?’ Heasws said: ‘Some parts of hisla sides to be cut off’.

14868- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ  (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَلَى التَّلِّ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ مَسْجِدُ الْفَتْحِ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْأَحْزَابِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ ظَلْمَاءَ قَرَّةٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَذْهَبُ فَيَأْتِيَنَا بِخَبَرِهِمْ وَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ أَعَادَهَا فَلَمْ يَقُمْ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) بِيَدِهِ وَ مَا أَرَادَ الْقَوْمُ أَرَادُوا أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ

H 14868 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hisham Bin Saalim, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from the one who narrated to him, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww stood upon the mound on which is the Masjid Al-Fatah during the military expedition of Al-Ahzaab is (built), on a dark cold night. So hesaww said: ‘Who will go and bring their news to us, and the Paradise will be for him’. No one stood up. Hesaww then repeated it. Still no one stood up’. Abu Abdullahasws said, with a hand gesture: ‘What the people wanted was something higher than the Paradise’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ هَذَا فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ لَا تَكَلَّمُ أَ قُبِرْتَ فَقَامَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ الْقُرُّ وَ الضُّرُّ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ مَنَعَنِي أَنْ أُجِيبَكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) انْطَلِقْ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ كَلَامَهُمْ وَ تَأْتِيَنِي بِخَبَرِهِمْ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ حَتَّى تَرُدَّهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَا حُذَيْفَةُ لَا تُحْدِثْ شَيْئاً حَتَّى تَأْتِيَنِي فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَ قَوْسَهُ وَ حَجَفَتَهُ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَخَرَجْتُ وَ مَا بِي مِنْ ضُرٍّ وَ لَا قُرٍّ فَمَرَرْتُ عَلَى بَابِ الْخَنْدَقِ وَ قَدِ اعْتَرَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ الْكُفَّارُ

Then hesaww said; ‘Who is this?’ He said, ‘Huzeyfa’. So hesaww said; ‘Did you not hear mysaww words since the night and Isaww have been speaking? Come closer’. So Huzeyfa stood up and he was saying, ‘It was neither the cold nor the harm which prevented me, may I be sacrificed for yousaww’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Go to them until you can hear their speech, and come to mesaww with their news’. So when he went, the Rasool Allahsaww said; ‘Our Allahazwj! Protect him from his front, and from his back, and from his right, and from his left, until he returns’. And the Rasool Allahsaww said to him; ‘O Huzeyfa, do not narrate anything until you come to mesaww’. So he took his sword, and his bow, and his shield. Huzeyfa said, ‘I went out and I was not affected by the cold weather, I passed by the Door of the Ditch (Baab Al-Khandaq) which had been overcome by the Believers from the Infidels’.

فَلَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ حُذَيْفَةُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ نَادَى يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ اكْشِفْ هَمِّي وَ غَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي فَقَدْ تَرَى حَالِي وَ حَالَ أَصْحَابِي فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ قَدْ سَمِعَ مَقَالَتَكَ وَ دُعَاءَكَ وَ قَدْ أَجَابَكَ وَ كَفَاكَ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّكَ فَجَثَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ وَ أَرْسَلَ عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ شُكْراً شُكْراً كَمَا رَحِمْتَنِي وَ رَحِمْتَ أَصْحَابِي

So when Huzayfa left, the Rasool Allahsaww arose and called out:

‘وَ نَادَى يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ اكْشِفْ هَمِّي وَ غَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي فَقَدْ تَرَى حَالِي وَ حَالَ أَصْحَابِي’     ‘O Helper of the afflicted, and O Responder to the distressed, Uproot mysaww stress, and mysaww grief, and mysaww affliction, for Youazwj can See mysaww condition, and the condition of mysaww companions!’

So Jibraeelas descended unto himsaww and said; ‘O Rasool Allahsaww! Verily Allahazwj has Heard yoursaww speech, and yoursaww supplication, and has Answered yousaww, and Suffices for yousaww against yoursaww enemies’. So the Rasool Allahsaww went down on hissaww knees, and extended hissaww hands, and shed tears from hissaww eyes, then said: ‘شُكْراً شُكْراً كَمَا رَحِمْتَنِي وَ رَحِمْتَ أَصْحَابِي’ ‘Thank Youazwj, thank Youazwj for being Merciful to mesaww and to mysaww companions’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَدْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رِيحاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فِيهَا حَصًى وَ رِيحاً مِنَ السَّمَاءِ الرَّابِعَةِ فِيهَا جَنْدَلٌ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِنِيرَانِ الْقَوْمِ وَ أَقْبَلَ جُنْدُ اللَّهِ الْأَوَّلُ رِيحٌ فِيهَا حَصًى فَمَا تَرَكَتْ لَهُمْ نَاراً إِلَّا أَذْرَتْهَا وَ لَا خِبَاءً إِلَّا طَرَحَتْهُ وَ لَا رُمْحاً إِلَّا أَلْقَتْهُ حَتَّى جَعَلُوا يَتَتَرَّسُونَ مِنَ الْحَصَى فَجَعَلْنَا نَسْمَعُ وَقْعَ الْحَصَى فِي الْأَتْرِسَةِ

Then the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj has Sent upon them a wind from the sky to the world in which was gravel, and a wind from the fourth sky in which was a rock’. Huzeyfa said, ‘I went out and I saw that the people had lit many fires. And the first soldier of Allahazwj, a wind in which was gravel, struck them. So it did not leave any of their fires except that it extinguished it, no tent except that it uprooted it, and no spear except that it flung it away, to the extent that they were defending themselves against the gravel with their shields and we could hear the sound of the gravel striking the shields’.

فَجَلَسَ حُذَيْفَةُ بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَامَ إِبْلِيسُ فِي صُورَةِ رَجُلٍ مُطَاعٍ فِي الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّكُمْ قَدْ نَزَلْتُمْ بِسَاحَةِ هَذَا السَّاحِرِ الْكَذَّابِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَنْ يَفُوتَكُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ سَنَةَ مُقَامٍ قَدْ هَلَكَ الْخُفُّ وَ الْحَافِرُ فَارْجِعُوا وَ لْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ جَلِيسُهُ قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَنَظَرْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَضَرَبْتُ بِيَدِي فَقُلْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي عَنْ يَسَارِي مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو

Huzayfa sat down in between two men from the Polytheists. Ibleesla stood up in the form of an obedient man among the Polytheists. Hela said, ‘O you people! You all have encamped in an area besides this sorcerer and the liar. Indeed! Nothing from hissaww matters has been forgotten. It has not been a good year. The shoes and the hooves have been destroyed. So return, and every man from among you should look at the one who is seated next to him’. Huzayfa said, ‘So I looked on my right and tapped on his shoulder and said, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘Muawiya’. So I said to the one who was on my left, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘Suhayl Bin Amro’.

قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ وَ أَقْبَلَ جُنْدُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فَقَامَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ ثُمَّ صَاحَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ النَّجَاءَ النَّجَاءَ وَ قَالَ طَلْحَةُ الْأَزْدِيُّ لَقَدْ زَادَكُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ بِشَرٍّ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ وَ صَاحَ فِي بَنِي أَشْجَعَ النَّجَاءَ النَّجَاءَ وَ فَعَلَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ مِثْلَهَا ثُمَّ فَعَلَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الْمُزَنِيُّ مِثْلَهَا ثُمَّ فَعَلَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ مِثْلَهَا وَ ذَهَبَ الْأَحْزَابُ وَ رَجَعَ حُذَيْفَةُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَيُشْبِهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Huzayfa said, ‘And the greater soldier of Allahazwj arrived. So Abu Sufyan arose to be on his camel, then shouted among the Qureysh, ‘The safety, the safety!’ And Talha Al-Azdy said, ‘Muhammadsaww has increased your injuries!’ Then he climbed upon his camel and shouted among the Clan of Ashja’a, ‘The safety, the safety!’ And Uyayna Bin Hasan acted similarly. Then Al-Haris Bin Awf Al-Muzny acted similarly. Then Al-Aqra’a Bin Habis acted similarly. And so the confederated tribes (Al-Ahzaab) went away’. And Huzayfa returned to the Rasool Allahsaww and informed himsaww of the news. And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘It had resembled the Day of Judgement for them’.

H 14869 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Al-Khurasany, from Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar who said:

I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws at Al-Kufa in the days of Ali Bin Al-Abbas. So when we ended up to Al-Kunasa, heasws said: ‘Over there is where they crucified myasws uncle Zayd, may Allahazwj have Mercy upon him’. Then we went until we ended up at the (market) stall of the oilmen, and it was at the end of the two lamps. So heasws descended and said: ‘Descend, for this is the place where the Masjid Al-Kufa used to be at first which Adamas had marked, and Iasws do not like that Iasws should enter it riding’. I said, ‘So who was the other one who had marked it?’ Heasws said: ‘As for the first one, that was the storm during the era of Noahas. Then others from the companions of Chosroe and Nu’man, and thereafter Ziyad Bin Abu Sufyan’.

فَقُلْتُ وَ كَانَتِ الْكُوفَةُ وَ مَسْجِدُهَا فِي زَمَنِ نُوحٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لِي نَعَمْ يَا مُفَضَّلُ وَ كَانَ مَنْزِلُ نُوحٍ وَ قَوْمِهِ فِي قَرْيَةٍ عَلَى مَنْزِلٍ مِنَ الْفُرَاتِ مِمَّا يَلِي غَرْبِيَّ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ وَ كَانَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) رَجُلًا نَجَّاراً فَجَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيّاً وَ انْتَجَبَهُ وَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) أَوَّلُ مَنْ عَمِلَ سَفِينَةً تَجْرِي عَلَى ظَهْرِ الْمَاءِ قَالَ وَ لَبِثَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْمِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَاماً يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيَهْزَءُونَ بِهِ وَ يَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ دَعَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَبِّ لا تَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكافِرِينَ دَيَّاراً إِنَّكَ إِنْ تَذَرْهُمْ يُضِلُّوا عِبادَكَ وَ لا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فاجِراً كَفَّاراً فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى نُوحٍ أَنِ اصْنَعْ سَفِينَةً وَ أَوْسِعْهَا وَ عَجِّلْ عَمَلَهَا فَعَمِلَ نُوحٌ سَفِينَةً فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ بِيَدِهِ فَأَتَى بِالْخَشَبِ مِنْ بُعْدٍ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا

So I said, ‘And there was a Masjid at Al-Kufa during the era of Noahas?’ Heasws said to me; ‘Yes, O Mufazzal. And the houses of Noahas and hisas people were in a town, at a place from the Euphrates which follows west of Al-Kufa’. Heasws said: ‘And Noahas was a carpenter. So Allahazwj Made himas a Prophetas and Answered himas. And Noahas was the first one to make a ship which flowed upon the back of the water’. Heasws said: ‘And Noahas lived among hisas people for fifty years less a thousand years (950), calling them to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. However, they derided himas and laughed at himas. So when heas saw that from them, heas supplicated against them saying: ‘Lordazwj! Do not Leave upon the earth any house of the infidels. If Youazwj Leave them, they will lead astray Yourazwj servants, and will not give birth to anyone except the infidel tyrants’. So Allahazwj Revealed unto Noahas that heas should make a ship and make it a big one, and hurriedly. So Noahas made a ship in Masjid Al-Kufa by hisas hands. He brought the wood from afar until heas finished it.

قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ ثُمَّ انْقَطَعَ حَدِيثُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَامَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَالْتَفَتَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ دَارِ الدَّارِيِّينَ وَ هُوَ مَوْضِعُ دَارِ ابْنِ حَكِيمٍ وَ ذَاكَ فُرَاتٌ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُفَضَّلُ وَ هَاهُنَا نُصِبَتْ أَصْنَامُ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ (عليه السلام) يَغُوثَ وَ يَعُوقَ وَ نَسْراً ثُمَّ مَضَى حَتَّى رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فِي كَمْ عَمِلَ نُوحٌ سَفِينَتَهُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا قَالَ فِي دَوْرَيْنِ قُلْتُ وَ كَمِ الدَّوْرَيْنِ قَالَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً قُلْتُ وَ إِنَّ الْعَامَّةَ يَقُولُونَ عَمِلَهَا فِي خَمْسِمِائَةِ عَامٍ فَقَالَ كَلَّا كَيْفَ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ وَ وَحْيِنا

Al-Mufazzal said, ‘Then Abu Abdullahasws interrupted the Hadith during the sunset. So Abu Abdullahasws stood up and Prayed the Midday Salat (Al-Zohar), and the Afternoon Salat (Al-Asar), then left from the Masjid. Heasws indicated by hisasws hand to hisasws left to a place where there was a house among the houses, and it was the place of the house of Ibn Hakeym, and where is Euphrates today, so heasws said to me: ‘O Mufazzal! Over there is where the idols of the people of Noahas were fixed – Yagows, and Yaowq, and Nasraa’. Then heasws went and rode upon hisasws animal. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, how long did it take for Noahas to build hisas ship until heas finished it?’ Heasws said: ‘In two time periods’. I said, ‘And how long are these two time periods?’ Heasws said: ‘Eighty years’. I said, ‘The general Muslim are saying that heas built it over five hundred years’. Heasws said: ‘No! How are they saying this, and by Allahazwj it has been Revealed to usasws?’

قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَّى إِذا جاءَ أَمْرُنا وَ فارَ التَّنُّورُ فَأَيْنَ كَانَ مَوْضِعُهُ وَ كَيْفَ كَانَ فَقَالَ كَانَ التَّنُّورُ فِي بَيْتِ عَجُوزٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ فِي دُبُرِ قِبْلَةِ مَيْمَنَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مَوْضِعُ زَاوِيَةِ بَابِ الْفِيلِ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ كَانَ بَدْءُ خُرُوجِ الْمَاءِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ التَّنُّورِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُرِيَ قَوْمَ نُوحٍ آيَةً ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَطَرَ يُفِيضُ فَيْضاً وَ فَاضَ الْفُرَاتُ فَيْضاً وَ الْعُيُونُ كُلُّهُنَّ فَيْضاً فَغَرَّقَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ أَنْجَى نُوحاً وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ

I said, ‘Inform me about the Statement of Allahazwj: “[23:27] and when Our command is given and the oven overflows” so where is its place and how was it?’ Heasws said: ‘It was the oven in the house of an elderly believing woman in the direction of the Qiblah, on the right of the Masjid’. I said to himasws, ‘So that is the place of the corner of the Baab Al-Feel today’. Then I said to himasws, ‘And that is oven where the water started coming from?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes. Allahazwj Loved to show a sign to the people of Noahas. Then Allahazwj Sent rain upon them which flooded them with a flood, and the Euphrates overflowed with a flood, and then all the rivers overflowed. Thus Allahazwj Drowned all of them and saved Noahas and those who were with himas in the ship’.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَمْ لَبِثَ نُوحٌ فِي السَّفِينَةِ حَتَّى نَضَبَ الْمَاءُ وَ خَرَجُوا مِنْهَا فَقَالَ لَبِثُوا فِيهَا سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ لَيَالِيَهَا وَ طَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ أُسْبُوعاً ثُمَّ اسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجُودِيِّ وَ هُوَ فُرَاتُ الْكُوفَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ قَدِيمٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ هُوَ مُصَلَّى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) وَ لَقَدْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حِينَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا مَسْجِدُ أَبِيكَ آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ مُصَلَّى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ (عليهم السلام) فَانْزِلْ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ فَنَزَلَ فَصَلَّى فِيهِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) عَرَجَ بِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

So I said to him, ‘How long did Noahas remain in the ship until the water subsided, and heas came out from it?’ Heasws said: ‘Heas remained in it for seven days and nights. It circled around the House for a week, then settled upon the Mount Joudy, and it is Euphrates of Al-Kufa’. I said to himasws, ‘The Masjid of Al-Kufa is old?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, and it is a Praying place of Prophetsas, and the Rasool Allahsaww had Prayed in it when hesaww Taken on an ascension to the sky. So Jibraeelas said to himas: ‘O Muhammadsaww! This is a Mosque of yoursaww father Adamas, and a Praying Place of the Prophetsas’. So hesaww descended and Prayed therein. Then Jibraeelas ascended with himsaww to the sky’.

H 14870 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Hamza Al-Thumaly, from Abu Razeyn Al-Asady, who has narrated the following:

Amir-ul- Momineenasws said: ‘When Noahasws was free from building the ship and there were (many) seasons between himas and hisas Lordazwj for the destruction of hisas people, the overflowing of the oven. Hisas wife said, ‘The oven has overflowed’. So heas stood up and covered it. The water was contained. And heas entered into the ship whosoever that heas wanted to, and exited from it whosoever heas wanted to. Then heas came to hisas covering and took it off. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[54:11] So We opened the gates of the sky with water pouring [54:12] And We made water to flow forth in the land in springs, so the water gathered together according to a measure already ordained [54:13] And We bore him on that which was made of planks and nails”. And heas had built it in the middle of your Masjid and it was of seven hundred cubits’.

H 14871 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from one of his companion, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The wife of Noahas came whilst heas was building the ship. So she said to himas, ‘Water is flowing out from the oven’. So heas stood up quickly, until heas went and covered it and sealed it with hisas seal. The water stopped. So when heas was free from building the ship, heas went to the seal, broke it and uncovered the lid. The water gushed forth’.

14872- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَتْ شَرِيعَةُ نُوحٍ (عليه السلام) أَنْ يُعْبَدَ اللَّهُ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ وَ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ خَلْعِ الْأَنْدَادِ وَ هِيَ الْفِطْرَةُ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْهَا وَ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَهُ عَلَى نُوحٍ (عليه السلام) وَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ (عليهم السلام) أَنْ يَعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ لَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئاً وَ أَمَرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ وَ الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ النَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ وَ لَمْ يَفْرِضْ عَلَيْهِ أَحْكَامَ حُدُودٍ وَ لَا فَرَضَ مَوَارِيثَ فَهَذِهِ شَرِيعَتُهُ فَلَبِثَ فِيهِمْ نُوحٌ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَاماً يَدْعُوهُمْ سِرّاً وَ عَلَانِيَةً فَلَمَّا أَبَوْا وَ عَتَوْا قَالَ رَبَّهُ أَنِّي مَغْلُوبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ آمَنَ فَلا تَبْتَئِسْ بِما كانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ [يَعْمَلُونَ] فَلِذَلِكَ قَالَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) وَ لا يَلِدُوا إِلَّا فاجِراً كَفَّاراً فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ.

H 14872 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Ismail Al-Ju’fy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The Law (Sharia) of Noahas was that they should worship Allahazwj with Oneness (Al-Tauheed), and have sincerity, and not associate others,  ‘وَ هِيَ الْفِطْرَةُ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ’ and this is the natured upon which the people have been Created. And Allahazwj Took a Covenant with Noahas and to All the Prophetsas that theyas would worship Allahazwj and will not associate anything with Himazwj, and Commanded for the Salat, and the enjoining of the good, and the prohibiting of the bad, and the Permissibles, and the Prohibitions, and did not Necessitate upon them the rules of the Limits, nor about the necessary inheritance.

So this is the Law which Noahas remained upon among them for a thousand years except for fifty years (950) calling them secretly and in the open. So when they refused and rebelled, heas said to hisas Lordazwj: ‘Ias have been overcome, so Help!’ So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas: “No one else from youras people are going to believe except for the ones who have already believed, so do not be disheartened at what they have done”. So for that reason Noahas said: ‘They will not give birth to anyone except tyrannous infidels’. So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas to make the ship’.

14873- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ نُوحاً (عليه السلام) لَمَّا غَرَسَ النَّوَى مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمُهُ فَجَعَلُوا يَضْحَكُونَ وَ يَسْخَرُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ قَعَدَ غَرَّاساً حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ النَّخْلُ وَ كَانَ جَبَّاراً طُوَالًا قَطَعَهُ ثُمَّ نَحَتَهُ فَقَالُوا قَدْ قَعَدَ نَجَّاراً ثُمَّ أَلَّفَهُ فَجَعَلَهُ سَفِينَةً فَمَرُّوا عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلُوا يَضْحَكُونَ وَ يَسْخَرُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ قَعَدَ مَلَّاحاً فِي فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا.

H 14873 – From him, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad together, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Umar Bin Abaan, from Ismail Al-Ju’fy, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said that: ‘When Noahas planted the seeds, hisas people passed by him. They laughed at himas and were mocking himas and were saying, ‘Heas has become a planter (farmer)’, until the trees became tall and mighty, heas cut them, then carved them. So they said, ‘Heas has become a carpenter’. Then heas composed it into a ship. So they passed by himas laughing, and mocking, and they were saying, ‘Heas has become a navigator in the wilderness of the earth’, until heas completed it’.

H 14874 – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al-Hassan Bin Salih Al-Sawry, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The ship of Noahas was of the length of a thousand and two hundred cubits[28], and its width was of eight hundred cubits, and its height in the sky was eighty cubits, and its occupied the space in between Al-Saffa and Al-Marwa, and circled the House seven rounds, then settled upon Al-Joudy’.

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Noahas carried eighty pairs in the ship about which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[6:143] Eight in pairs - two of sheep and two of goats [6:144] And two of camels and two of cows”. So, from the pairs of the sheep were two sheep which were domestic ones which the people rear (keep), and another pair of sheep which were mountainous and wild sheep which are lawful to be hunted. And from the pair of goats, one was of the domesticated kind which the people rear, and another pair were the antelopes which are found in the wilderness. And from the camels were two ‘’ Al-Bukhaty and the Arabic (camels). And from the cows, was a pair of the kind domesticated to the people and another pair of cows were the wild ones. And every kind of good birds, wild or domesticated. Then the earth submerged’.

H 14876 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Dawood Bin Abu Yazeed, from the one whom he mentioned, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The water (of the storm of Noahas) rose above every mountain, and above every coast by fifteen cubits’.

H 14877 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from one of our companions, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The life span of Noahas was of two thousand and three hundred years, of which eight hundred and fifty were spent before heas was Sent (as a Prophetas), and a thousand years less fifty years (950) was whilst heas was among hisas people calling them, and five hundred years were after heas had disembarked from the ship, and the water subsided, so heas built the cities and settled hisas children in them. Then the Angel of death came whilst heas was in the open sun and said: ‘Peace be upon youas!’ So Noahas returned (the greeting) and said: ‘What made you to come, O Angel of Death?’ He said: ‘I came to youas to capture youras soul’. Heas said: ‘Leave me whilst Iasws come out from the open sun and enter into the shade’. So he said to himas; ‘Yes’. So heas transferred himselfas, then said: ‘O Angel of Death! All of what has passed by meas from the (life of the) world is like myas transfer from the open sun into the shade. So fulfil the task you have been Commanded to’. So he captured hisas soul’.

H 14878 – Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ismail Bin Jabir, and Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, and Abdul Hameed Bin Abu Al-Daylam, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Noahas lived for five hundred years after the storm. Then Jibraeelas came to himas, so heas said: “O Noahas! Youras Prophet-hood has expired, and youras days are complete, so look to the Great Name (Al-Ism Al-Akbar), and inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of the Knowledge of the Prophet-hood which is with you as and hand these over to youras son Saamas, for Iazwj do not Leave the earth except that there is in it a Knowledgeable one by whom obedience to Meazwj can be recognised, and Myazwj Guidance can be understood, and salvation can be in what is in between the passing away of a Prophetas and Sending of another Prophetas and Iazwj never Leave the people without a Proof from Meazwj calling towards Meazwj, and guides to Myazwj Way, and understand Myazwj Commands, for Iazwj have Ordained that Iazwj shall Make for every people a guide who will guide the fortunate ones and will be the Argument from Meazwj against the wretched ones”.

قَالَ فَدَفَعَ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَى سَامٍ وَ أَمَّا حَامٌ وَ يَافِثُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُمَا عِلْمٌ يَنْتَفِعَانِ بِهِ قَالَ وَ بَشَّرَهُمْ نُوحٌ (عليه السلام) بِهُودٍ (عليه السلام) وَ أَمَرَهُمْ بِاتِّبَاعِهِ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتَحُوا الْوَصِيَّةَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ وَ يَنْظُرُوا فِيهَا وَ يَكُونُ عِيداً لَهُمْ.

Heasws said: ‘So Noahas handed over the Great Name, and inheritance of the Knowledge, and effects of the Knowledge of the Prophet-hood to Saamas. And as for Haam, and Yaafas, so there was no knowledge in their possession that could be benefited from’. And Noahas gave them the good news of Hudas and commanded them to be obedient to himas, and commanded them that they will open the will during every year, and look into it, and make it to be a day of festivities for themselves’.

H 14879 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Al-Hassan Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following:

I asked Abu Ja’farasws that, ‘Some of our companions are fabricating (Hadeeth) and throwing them against the ones who oppose them’. So heasws said to me: ‘Refraining from them is more beautiful’. Then said: ‘By Allahazwj, O Abu Hamza! The people, all of them, are the children of the transgressors (adultery) except for ourasws Shites’. I said, ‘How can there be a way out for me, from this?’ So heasws said to me: ‘The Revealed Book of Allahazwj has Evidences against them. Surely, Allahazwj Made for usasws the Peopleasws of the Household three portions in the whole of the spoils of war (Al-Fey). Then Allahazwj Said: “[8:41] And know that whatever you take as spoils of war, lo! a fifth thereof is for Allah, and for the messenger and for the kinsman (who hath need) and orphans and the needy and the wayfarer”. So weasws are the owners of Al-Khums (the fifth), and the spoils of war (Al-Fey), and it has been Made unlawful to all the people except for ourasws Shites.

وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ مَا مِنْ أَرْضٍ تُفْتَحُ وَ لَا خُمُسٍ يُخْمَسُ فَيُضْرَبُ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ إِلَّا كَانَ حَرَاماً عَلَى مَنْ يُصِيبُهُ فَرْجاً كَانَ أَوْ مَالًا وَ لَوْ قَدْ ظَهَرَ الْحَقُّ لَقَدْ بِيعَ الرَّجُلُ الْكَرِيمَةُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ فِيمَنْ لَا يَزِيدُ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْهُمْ لَيَفْتَدِي بِجَمِيعِ مَالِهِ وَ يَطْلُبُ النَّجَاةَ لِنَفْسِهِ فَلَا يَصِلُ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ أَخْرَجُونَا وَ شِيعَتَنَا مِنْ حَقِّنَا ذَلِكَ بِلَا عُذْرٍ وَ لَا حَقٍّ وَ لَا حُجَّةٍ

By Allahazwj, O Abu Hamza! There is no land which has been conquered, and no fifth (Khums) has been applied on anything from it except that it was unlawful for the one who received it for his genitals or assets. And if the truth were to appear (Al-Qaimasws) the man would be desperate to sell himself cheaply to the extent that the man from among them would be prepare to ransom himself with all of his wealth, and seek the salvation for himself. So he will not achieve anything from that. And they have taken usasws and ourasws Shites out from those rights of ours without an excuse, or right, or proof’.

قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَلْ تَرَبَّصُونَ بِنا إِلَّا إِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ قَالَ إِمَّا مَوْتٌ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ أَوْ إِدْرَاكُ ظُهُورِ إِمَامٍ وَ نَحْنُ نَتَرَبَّصُ بِهِمْ مَعَ مَا نَحْنُ فِيهِ مِنَ الشِّدَّةِ أَنْ يُصِيبَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِعَذابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَ هُوَ الْمَسْخُ أَوْ بِأَيْدِينَا وَ هُوَ الْقَتْلُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قُلْ تَرَبَّصُوا فَإِنَّا مَعَكُمْ مُتَرَبِّصُونَ وَ التَّرَبُّصُ انْتِظَارُ وُقُوعِ الْبَلَاءِ بِأَعْدَائِهِمْ.

I said, ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[9:52] Say: Do you await for us but one of two most excellent things?” Heasws said: ‘But it is death in obedience to Allahazwj or realisation of the appearance of Imamasws (Al-Qaimasws, And we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself and it is metamorphosis or by our hands and it is the killing. Allahazwj Said to Hisazwj Prophetsaww: “So wait; we too will wait with you”. And the waiting is for the occurrence of the affliction upon theirasws enemies’.

H 14880 – And by the above chain (of narrators), who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[38:86] Say: “No reward do I ask of you for this nor am I a pretender [38:87] It is nothing but a reminder to the nations”. Heasws said: ‘It (the Reminder) is Amir-ul- Momineenasws’. “[38:88] And most certainly you will come to know about it after a time”. Heasws said: ‘During the coming out of Al-Qaimasws’. And with regards to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic “[11:110] We certainly gave the Book to Moses, but differences arose therein”. Heasws said: ‘They differed just like this community has differed regarding the Book, and they will be differing with regards to the Book with Al-Qaimasws which heasws will be coming to them with, to the extent that numerous people would deny it. So heasws will march against them and strike their necks.

وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَوْ لا كَلِمَةُ الْفَصْلِ لَقُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ إِنَّ الظَّالِمِينَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ قَالَ لَوْ لَا مَا تَقَدَّمَ فِيهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَبْقَى الْقَائِمُ (عليه السلام) مِنْهُمْ وَاحِداً وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الَّذِينَ يُصَدِّقُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ قَالَ بِخُرُوجِ الْقَائِمِ (عليه السلام) وَ قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اللَّهِ رَبِّنا ما كُنَّا مُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ يَعْنُونَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قُلْ جاءَ الْحَقُّ وَ زَهَقَ الْباطِلُ قَالَ إِذَا قَامَ الْقَائِمُ (عليه السلام) ذَهَبَتْ دَوْلَةُ الْبَاطِلِ.

And as for the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[42:21] And but for a decisive word it would have been judged between them. Lo! for wrong-doers is a painful Punishment”. Had it not been for what had preceded among them from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, Al-Qaimasws would not let remain any one among them’. And with regards to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[70:26] And those who accept the truth of the Judgement day”, heasws said: ‘The coming out of Al-Qaimasws’. And the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[6:23] By Allah, our Lord, we were not polytheists”, heasws said: ‘It means the Wilayah of Aliasws ‘. And with regards to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[17:81] And say: The truth has come and the falsehood has vanished; surely falsehood is a vanishing (thing)”, heasws said: ‘When Al-Qaimasws makes the stand the governments of the falsehood will be destroyed’.

H 14881 – From him, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Mansour bin Yunus, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws about: “[16:98] So when you recite the Quran, seek refuge with Allah from the accursed Shaitan [16:99] Surely he has no authority over those who believe and rely on their Lord”, so heasws said; ‘O Abu Muhammad! By Allahazwj, hela overcomes the Believer upon his body but does not overcome his Religion. Hela had overcome upon Ayubas, so hela deformed hisas physique and did not overcome upon hisas Religion, and hela has overcome the Believers upon their bodies and does not overcome upon their Religion’. I said, ‘The Statement of the High: “[16:100] His authority is only over those who befriend him and those who associate others with Him.” Heasws said: ‘The ones who associate with Allahazwj, hela overcomes upon their bodies as well as upon their Religions’.

14882- عَنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَ هُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَيَّ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى النَّاسِ وَ نَحْنُ عَلَى بَابِ بَنِي شَيْبَةَ فَقَالَ يَا فُضَيْلُ هَكَذَا كَانَ يَطُوفُونَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ حَقّاً وَ لَا يَدِينُونَ دِيناً يَا فُضَيْلُ انْظُرْ إِلَيْهِمْ مُكِبِّينَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلْقٍ مَسْخُورٍ بِهِمْ مُكِبِّينَ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ أَ فَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلى وَجْهِهِ أَهْدى أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ يَعْنِي وَ اللَّهِ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ (عليهم السلام)

H 14882 – From him, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Mansour, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Al-Fazeyl who said:

I entered the Sacred Masjid with Abu Ja’farasws, heasws was leaning (on a stick) and after looking around at the people whilst we were at the Door of the Clan of Shaeba, heasws said: ‘O Fazeyl, this is how they used to circumambulate during the era of ignorance, not understanding the truth, nor having a Religion but (they knew it only) by ourasws Religion. O Fazeyl! Look at them falling down upon their faces (prostration, offering Salat). May Allahazwj Curse these ridiculed creatures falling down upon their faces’. Then heasws recited this Verse: “[67:22] What! Is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?” By Allahazwj, it means Aliasws, and the successorsasws’.

ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ زُلْفَةً سِيئَتْ وُجُوهُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ قِيلَ هذَا الَّذِي كُنْتُمْ بِهِ تَدَّعُونَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) يَا فُضَيْلُ لَمْ يَتَسَمَّ بِهَذَا الِاسْمِ غَيْرُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا مُفْتَرٍ كَذَّابٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْبَأْسِ هَذَا أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ يَا فُضَيْلُ مَا لِلَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ حَاجٌّ غَيْرَكُمْ وَ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا لَكُمْ وَ لَا يَتَقَبَّلُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ وَ إِنَّكُمْ لَأَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ إِنْ تَجْتَنِبُوا كَبائِرَما تُنْهَوْنَ عَنْهُ نُكَفِّرْ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئاتِكُمْ وَ نُدْخِلْكُمْ مُدْخَلًا كَرِيماً يَا فُضَيْلُ أَ مَا تَرْضَوْنَ أَنْ تُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَ تُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَ تَكُفُّوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ وَ تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ قِيلَ لَهُمْ كُفُّوا أَيْدِيَكُمْ وَ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ أَهْلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ.

Then heasws recited this Verse: “[67:27] But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry, and it shall be said; This is that which you used to call for”. O Fazeyl! It is Amir-ul- Momineenasws. No one has been named with this name apart from Aliasws, except for the impostor, a liar up to the Day of Judgement. But this, by Allahazwj O Fazeyl, there is no Pilgrimage apart from yours, and no Forgiveness of sins except for you (Shites), and no Acceptance except from you (Shites), and it is you all that are mentioned in this Verse: “[4:31] If you shun the great sins which you are forbidden, We will do away with your small sins and cause you to enter an honourable place of entering.” O Fazeyl! Are you not pleased that you are establishing the Salat, and giving the Zakaat, and withholding your tongues, and weasws would be making you to enter the Paradise?’ Then heasws recited: “[4:77] Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up Salat and pay the poor-rate”. You (Shites) are the ones who are referred to in this Verse’.

H 14883 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Salmaan Al-Azdy, from Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Is’haq, who has narrated the following:

Amir-ul- Momineenasws said regarding “[2:205] And when he turns back, he runs along in the land that he may cause mischief in it and destroy the tilth and the stock”, by his injustices, and his evil ways “and Allah does not love mischief-making”.

14884- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَوْلِيَاؤُهُمُ الطَّوَاغِيتُ.

H 14884 – Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ab, from Humraan Bin Ayn, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said (referring to the ‘Tahreef in Quran) in this  “[2:257] and (as to) those who disbelieve, their guardians are the tyrants”. ‘الطَّوَاغِيتُ’ instead of ‘الطَّاغُوتُ’ (which is in Quran we have these days).

H 14886 – Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Hamza Bin Ubeyd, from Ismail Bin Abbaad, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: “[2:255] and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases” and its ending “and He is the Most High, the Great”, and Praise be to Allahazwj the Lordazwj of the Worlds, and two Verses after it’ (2:256-257).

H 14887 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Sayf, from his brother, from his father, from Abu Bakr Bin Muhammad who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws, recite this Verse as:

“[2:214] ‘يَقْرَأُ وَ زُلْزِلُوا ثُمَّ زُلْزِلُوا حَتَّى يَقُولَ الرَّسُولُ’ and they were shaken violently, (then they were shaken violently) so that the Messenger said”.[30]

H 14888 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws said: “[2:102] And they followed what the Shaitans chanted of sorcery (with the Wilayah of the Satans) in the reign of Sulaiman”. And heasws also recited “[2:211] Ask the Israelites how many a clear sign have We given them; (and among them were ones who believed, and among them were ones who fought against there, and among them were ones who accepted, and among them were ones who altered them) and whoever changes the favour of Allah after it has come to him, then surely Allah is severe in requiting (evil).”[31]

H 14889 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammaad, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fayz who said, who has narrated the following:

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘When one of us becomes ill, the healers order us to go on a diet’. So heasws said: ‘But, the Peopleasws of the Household, weasws do not stay away except from the dates, and weasws cure by the apple and the cold water’. I said, ‘And why do youasws keep away from the dates?’ Heasws said: ‘Because the Prophetsaww of Allahazwj kept Aliasws away from it during hisasws illness’.

14890- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ لَا تَنْفَعُ الْحِمْيَةُ لِمَرِيضٍ بَعْدَ سَبْعَةِ أَيَّامٍ.

H 14890 – From him, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ib, from Halby who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Dieting is not beneficial to the sick after seven days’.

H 14891 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, who has narrated the following:

Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws has said: ‘Dieting is not leaving something which you originally did not eat, but the dieting is to eat from the thing but at a reduced level’.

H 14892 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from one of our companions who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said that; ‘The walking is detrimental to the sick. When myasws fatherasws became sick, heasws had to be carried in a cloth for hisasws need, meaning the ablution, and that is why heasws used to say that the walking is detrimental to the sick’.

H 14893 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina that:

A man came up to Abu Abdullahasws and said, ‘I saw (a dream) as if the sun emerging upon my head apart from my body’. So heasws said: ‘You will achieve a huge matter, and ‘وَ نُوراً سَاطِعا’ً a brilliant light, and a comprehensive Religion. Had it covered you, you would have been submerged in it, but it only covered your head. But, have you not read: “[6:78] Then when he saw the sun rising, he said: Is this my Lord? Is this the greatest? So when it set”, Ibrahimas distanced himselfas from it’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, they are saying that the sun is a Caliph or a king’. So heasws said: ‘Iasws do not see how you can achieve the Caliphate and there was never a king in your forefathers and your ancestors. And which Caliphate and kingdom is greater than the Religion, and ‘النُّورِ’ the Light which you hope would make you to enter into the Paradise? They are mistaken’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, youasws have spoken the truth’.

14894- عَنْهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ رَأَى كَأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ طَالِعَةٌ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ دُونَ جَسَدِهِ قَالَ مَالٌ يَنَالُهُ نَبَاتٌ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ مِنْ بُرٍّ أَوْ تَمْرٍ يَطَؤُهُ بِقَدَمَيْهِ وَ يَتَّسِعُ فِيهِ وَ هُوَ حَلَالٌ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَكُدُّ فِيهِ كَمَا كَدَّ آدَمُ (عليه السلام).

H 14894 – From him, from a man who saw (in a dream) as if the sun emerging upon his feet apart from his body, who has narrated the following:

Imamasws said regarding a man who saw (in a dream) that sun shine on his feet and not on his body, ‘he will acquire plenty of wealth from the plantations of the earth, from wheat and dates which he will tread by his feet and hold on to it, and it is Permissible, except that he will have to toil for it as Adamas toiled’.

14895- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الصَّائِغِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ عِنْدَهُ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا عَجِيبَةً فَقَالَ لِي يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ هَاتِهَا فَإِنَّ الْعَالِمَ بِهَا جَالِسٌ وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي دَخَلْتُ دَارِي وَ إِذَا أَهْلِي قَدْ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيَّ فَكَسَّرَتْ جَوْزاً كَثِيراً وَ نَثَرَتْهُ عَلَيَّ فَتَعَجَّبْتُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ تُخَاصِمُ وَ تُجَادِلُ لِئَاماً فِي مَوَارِيثِ أَهْلِكَ فَبَعْدَ نَصَبٍ شَدِيدٍ تَنَالُ حَاجَتَكَ مِنْهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَصَبْتَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَبَا حَنِيفَةَ

H 14895 – Ali, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali from Abu Ja’far Al-Sa’ig, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said:

‘I came up to Abu Abdullahasws and in hisasws presence was Abu Hanifa. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, I saw a strange dream’. So heasws said to me: ‘O Ibn Muslim, relate it for the knowledgeable one for he is seated here’ – and heasws indicated by hisasws hand to Abu Hanifa. So I said, ‘I saw as if I had entered my house, and my wife came out at me. She broke many walnuts and scattered them upon me. So I was astounded by this dream’. So Abu Hanifala said, ‘You are a man who disputed and argued regarding the inheritance of your wife, and after your share of difficulties you will achieve your needs from her, Allahazwj Willing’.  Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, O Abu Hanifala, you’ve hit it’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي كَرِهْتُ تَعْبِيرَ هَذَا النَّاصِبِ فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ لَا يَسُؤْكَ اللَّهُ فَمَا يُوَاطِي تَعْبِيرُهُمْ تَعْبِيرَنَا وَ لَا تَعْبِيرُنَا تَعْبِيرَهُمْ وَ لَيْسَ التَّعْبِيرُ كَمَا عَبَّرَهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَوْلُكَ أَصَبْتَ وَ تَحْلِفُ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ مُخْطِئٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ حَلَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ أَصَابَ الْخَطَأَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَا تَأْوِيلُهَا قَالَ يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ إِنَّكَ تَتَمَتَّعُ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَتَعْلَمُ بِهَا أَهْلُكَ فَتُمَزِّقُ عَلَيْكَ ثِيَاباً جُدُداً فَإِنَّ الْقِشْرَ كِسْوَةُ اللُّبِّ

(The narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Hanifala went out from hisasws presence, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, I do not like the interpretation of this Hostile One (Nasibi)’. So heasws said: ‘O Ibn Muslim, Allahazwj will not Displease you. Their interpretation does not coincide with ourasws interpretation, nor does ourasws interpretation coincide with theirs, and the interpretation (of your dream) is not as he has interpreted it’. I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, youasws said that he hit it, and swore upon it, whilst he was mistaken’. Heasws said; ‘Yes, Iasws did swear that he hit the mistake’. So I said to himasws, ‘So what is its interpretation?’ Heasws said: ‘O Ibn Muslim, you will do Muttah with a woman and your wife would come to know of it. So she would tear up your new clothes, for the walnut shells are the clothing for the nuts’.

قَالَ ابْنُ مُسْلِمٍ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَ تَعْبِيرِهِ وَ تَصْحِيحِ الرُّؤْيَا إِلَّا صَبِيحَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ غَدَاةُ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنَا جَالِسٌ بِالْبَابِ إِذْ مَرَّتْ بِي جَارِيَةٌ فَأَعْجَبَتْنِي فَأَمَرْتُ غُلَامِي فَرَدَّهَا ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهَا دَارِي فَتَمَتَّعْتُ بِهَا فَأَحَسَّتْ بِي وَ بِهَا أَهْلِي فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْبَيْتَ فَبَادَرَتِ الْجَارِيَةُ نَحْوَ الْبَابِ وَ بَقِيتُ أَنَا فَمَزَّقَتْ عَلَيَّ ثِيَاباً جُدُداً كُنْتُ أَلْبَسُهَا فِي الْأَعْيَادِ

Ibn Muslim said, ‘By Allahazwj, there was not a Friday between hisasws interpretation and the verification of the dream. So when it was the morning of the Friday, I was seated at the door when a maid passed by who caught my eye. So I sent my slave to return her. Then I entered her into my house. I did Muttah with her. My wife sensed it and she came up to us in the house. The maid took the initiative and went to the door, and I remained. So she tore up my new clothes which I had worn during the Eid’.

وَ جَاءَ مُوسَى الزَّوَّارُ الْعَطَّارُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا هَالَتْنِي رَأَيْتُ صِهْراً لِي مَيِّتاً وَ قَدْ عَانَقَنِي وَ قَدْ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الْأَجَلُ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فَقَالَ يَا مُوسَى تَوَقَّعِ الْمَوْتَ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً فَإِنَّهُ مُلَاقِينَا وَ مُعَانَقَةُ الْأَمْوَاتِ لِلْأَحْيَاءِ أَطْوَلُ لِأَعْمَارِهِمْ فَمَا كَانَ اسْمُ صِهْرِكَ قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ رُؤْيَاكَ تَدُلُّ عَلَى بَقَائِكَ وَ زِيَارَتِكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَإِنَّ كُلَّ مَنْ عَانَقَ سَمِيَّ الْحُسَيْنِ يَزُورُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

And Musa Al-Zawwaar the perfume seller went to Abu Abdullahasws, so he said to himasws, ‘O sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww! I saw a dream which shocked me. I saw my dead brother-in-law embrace me, and I am scared that my term (death) is near’. So heasws said: ‘O Musa! You should expect death morning and evening for it will meet us. And the embracing by the dead to the living is longevity of life for them. So what is the name of your brother in law?’ he said, ‘Husayn’. So heasws said: ‘But your dream is evidence of your remaining (alive), and your visiting Abu Abdullah (Al-Husayn)asws, for everyone who is embraced by someone who is named Al-Husayn would visit himasws Allahazwj Willing’.

14896- إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُرَشِيُّ قَالَ أَتَى إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُ فِي مَنَامِي كَأَنِّي خَارِجٌ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ الْكُوفَةِ فِي مَوْضِعٍ أَعْرِفُهُ وَ كَأَنَّ شَبَحاً مِنْ خَشَبٍ أَوْ رَجُلًا مَنْحُوتاً مِنْ خَشَبٍ عَلَى فَرَسٍ مِنْ خَشَبٍ يُلَوِّحُ بِسَيْفِهِ وَ أَنَا أُشَاهِدُهُ فَزِعاً مَرْعُوباً فَقَالَ لَهُ (عليه السلام) أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ تُرِيدُ اغْتِيَالَ رَجُلٍ فِي مَعِيشَتِهِ فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ ثُمَّ يُمِيتُكَ

H 14896 – Ismail Bin Abdullah Al-Qarshy who said:

A man came up to Abu Abdullahasws, so he said to himasws, ‘O sonasws of the Messengerasws of Allahazwj, I saw in my dream as if I was outside of the city of Al-Kufa in a place which I recognised, and there was a ghost of a man made of wood, riding a wooden horse and waving his sword, and I saw him and was terrified and in a panic’. So heasws said to him: ‘You are a man who wants to assassinate a man for his livelihood, so fear Allahazwj Who Created you, then will Cause you to die’.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ قَدْ أُوتِيتَ عِلْماً وَ اسْتَنْبَطْتَهُ مِنْ مَعْدِنِهِ أُخْبِرُكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَمَّا [قَدْ] فَسَّرْتَ لِي إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ جِيرَانِي جَاءَنِي وَ عَرَضَ عَلَيَّ ضَيْعَتَهُ فَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَمْلِكَهَا بِوَكْسٍ كَثِيرٍ لِمَا عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهَا طَالِبٌ غَيْرِي فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ صَاحِبُكَ يَتَوَلَّانَا وَ يَبْرَأُ مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ جَيِّدُ الْبَصِيرَةِ مُسْتَحْكَمُ الدِّينِ وَ أَنَا تَائِبٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّا هَمَمْتُ بِهِ وَ نَوَيْتُهُ فَأَخْبِرْنِي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ نَاصِباً حَلَّ لِي اغْتِيَالُهُ فَقَالَ أَدِّ الْأَمَانَةَ لِمَنِ ائْتَمَنَكَ وَ أَرَادَ مِنْكَ النَّصِيحَةَ وَ لَوْ إِلَى قَاتِلِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام).

So the man said, ‘I testify that youasws have received Knowledge and have extracted it from its mine. I inform youasws, O sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww that youasws have interpreted (correctly) for me. There was a man in my neighbourhood who came to me and presented to me his asset, so I thought that I should own it for much less as I realised that there is no other seeker for it apart from me’. So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘And your companion has befriended usasws rather ourasws enemies?’ He said, ‘Yes, O sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww, a good man with foresight, resolute in the Religion, and I repent to Allahazwj and to youasws from what I was thinking of and intended for. So, inform me, O sonasws of the Rasool Allahsaww, had he been a Hostile One (Nasibi), would it have been permissible for me to assassinate him?’ Heasws said: ‘Fulfil the trust to the one who has entrusted you and wants advice from you even if it is to the killer of Al-Husaynasws’.

H 14897 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazaalat Bin Ayyub, from Sayf Bin Umeyr, from Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy, from Abdul Malik Bin Ayn who said:

I got up in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws, supporting myself by my hands, so I wept’. Heasws said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ So I said, ‘I used to hope that I would see this Command (Al-Qaimasws) whilst having strength’. So heasws said: ‘But are you not happy that your enemies kill each other and you are safe in your houses?’ If that event were to take place, the man from among you would be given the strength of forty men and your hearts would become like blocks of iron. If thrown against the mountain, it would be uprooted. You are the strength of the earth and its treasures’.

H 14898 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Hashim, from Sufyan Al-Jariry, from Abu Maryam Al-Ansary, from Haroun Bin Antara, from his father who said:

I heard Amir-ul- Momineenasws again and again, and heasws was saying with hisasws fingers clasped at each other: ‘Myasws ease is myasws constraint, and myasws constraint is myasws ease’. Then said; ‘Destroyed are the expectants who expect it now, and rescued are the expectants who expect it soon and are steadfast upon their pegs. I swear by Allahazwj by a true oath that after the grief would be a wonderful victory (Al-Qaimasws)’.

14899- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ يَا مُيَسِّرُ كَمْ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ قِرْقِيسَا قُلْتُ هِيَ قَرِيبٌ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ بِهَا وَقْعَةٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِثْلُهَا مُنْذُ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ لَا يَكُونُ مِثْلُهَا مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ مَأْدُبَةٌ لِلطَّيْرِ تَشْبَعُ مِنْهَا سِبَاعُ الْأَرْضِ وَ طُيُورُ السَّمَاءِ يُهْلَكُ فِيهَا قَيْسٌ وَ لَا يَدَّعِي لَهَا دَاعِيَةٌ

H 14899 – Muhammad bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from his father, from Muyassar, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘O Muyassar, how much distance is there in between you and Qarqaysa?’ I said, ‘It is near to the banks of the Euphrates’. So heasws said: ‘But, there will transpire an event with it, the like of which has never happened since Allahazwj Created the Heavens and the earth, nor will the like of it happen so long as the Heavens and the earth remain. It will be a banquet for the birds. The lions of the earth and the birds of the skies would satisfy their hunger. Qays would be killed in it and there will be no helper called for him’.

قَالَ وَ رَوَى غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ وَ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى لُحُومِ الْجَبَّارِينَ.

(The narrator) said, ‘And someone else has reported an addition to it: ‘And a caller will call out, ‘Come to the meat of the tyrants!’

H 14900 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammaad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Al-Mukhtar, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Every banner rose before the rising of Al-Qaimasws, so its owner is a tyrant who worships someone apart from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

14901- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَا شِهَابُ يَكْثُرُ الْقَتْلُ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى يُدْعَى الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى الْخِلَافَةِ فَيَأْبَاهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا شِهَابُ وَ لَا تَقُلْ إِنِّي عَنَيْتُ بَنِي عَمِّي هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ شِهَابٌ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ عَنَاهُمْ.

H 14901 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Hisham Bin Saalim, from Shahaab Bin Abdul Rabbahu who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘O Shahaab! There would be a great deal of killing in the households of Qureysh to the extent that the man from among them would be called to the Caliphate, he would refuse’. Then said: ‘O Shahaab! Do not announce that Iasws meant those sons of myasws uncle’. Shahaab said, ‘I testify that heasws was referring to them’.

H 14902 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from someone else, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Al-Fazel, from Zurara, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’far asws has said that: ‘The people, when they did what they did, they pledged their allegiances to Abu Bakr, nothing prevented Amir-ul- Momineenasws calling the people to himselfasws except that heasws looked around at the people and feared for them that they would renege from Al-Islam, and resort to worshipping the idols and not testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhamamdsaww is the Rasool Allahsaww, and it was more beloved to himasws than heasws should agree with them upon what they had done rather than them reneging against the whole of Al-Islam.

But rather, destroyed is the one who does what they did. So, as for the one who did not do that, and entered into what the people had entered into without knowledge or enmity against Amir-ul- Momineenasws, so for that they have neither blasphemed nor exited from Al-Islam, and it is for that reason that Aliasws concealed hisasws matter, and had to pledge allegiance unwillingly, when heasws did not find any helpers’.

14903- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْقَصِيرِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَفْزَعُونَ إِذَا قُلْنَا إِنَّ النَّاسَ ارْتَدُّوا فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الرَّحِيمِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ عَادُوا بَعْدَ مَا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَهْلَ جَاهِلِيَّةٍ إِنَّ الْأَنْصَارَ اعْتَزَلَتْ فَلَمْ تَعْتَزِلْ بِخَيْرٍ جَعَلُوا يُبَايِعُونَ سَعْداً وَ هُمْ يَرْتَجِزُونَ ارْتِجَازَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ يَا سَعْدُ أَنْتَ الْمُرَجَّى وَ شَعْرُكَ الْمُرَجَّلُ وَ فَحْلُكَ الْمُرَجَّمُ.

H 14903 – Narrated to us Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Abdul Raheem Al-Qaseer who said:

I said to Abu Ja’farasws that the people are appalled when we say that the people turned apostate’. So heasws said: ‘O Abdul Raheem, after the passing away of the Rasool Allahsaww, the people turned to the terms of ignorance. The Helpers were isolated and their isolation was not in goodness. They went and pledged their allegiances to Sa’d and were shouting slogans of the era of ignorance, ‘O Sa’d, you are the hope, and you are the vessel, and the solution!’

14904- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ وَ الْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا النَّقَّاضِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ النَّاسُ صَارُوا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِمَنْزِلَةِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ هَارُونَ (عليه السلام) وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْعِجْلَ وَ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ دَعَا فَأَبَى عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ وَ إِنَّ عُمَرَ دَعَا فَأَبَى عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ وَ إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ دَعَا فَأَبَى عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدْعُو إِلَى أَنْ يَخْرُجَ الدَّجَّالُ إِلَّا سَيَجِدُ مَنْ يُبَايِعُهُ وَ مَنْ رَفَعَ رَايَةَ ضَلَالَةٍ فَصَاحِبُهَا طَاغُوتٌ.

H 14904 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from someone else, from his companions, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Ja’far Al-Ahowl, and Al-Fazeyl Bin Yasaar, from Zakariyya Al-Naqqaaz, who has narrated the following:

I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘After the Rasool Allahsaww, the people became of the status of the one who followed Harounas and the one who followed the calf. And Abu Bakr called, so Aliasws refused except for the Quran. And Umar called, so Aliasws refused except for the Quran. And Usman called, so Aliasws refused except for the Quran. And there is no one who will call, up to the coming out of Al-Dajjaalla, except that he will find the one who pledges his allegiance to him. And the one who raises a banner of misguidance, so its owner is a tyrant’.

H 14905 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Salmat Al-Lului, from a man, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Shall Iasws not inform you of how Salmanar and Abu Dharrar (brought Islam)?’ So a man interrupted hastily and said, ‘As for the Islam of Salmanar, so I have understood it. Inform me of the Islam of Abu Dharrar’. So heasws said: ‘Abu Dharrar was in the middle of tending hisar sheep when hear saw a wolf passing by on the right of hisar sheep. So hear chased the wolf away by hisar staff. So the wolf came from hisar right. So Abu Dharrar chased it away. Then Abu Dharrar said to it, ‘Iar have not seen a wolf more vicious or evil than you’. So the wolf said to himar, ‘By Allahazwj! The people of Makkah are more evil than I am. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Sent a Prophetsaww to them, so they belied himsaww and insulted himsaww’. This reverberated in the ears of Abu Dharrar.

فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ هَلُمِّي مِزْوَدِي وَ إِدَاوَتِي وَ عَصَايَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ يُرِيدُ مَكَّةَ لِيَعْلَمَ خَبَرَ الذِّئْبِ وَ مَا أَتَاهُ بِهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ مَكَّةَ فَدَخَلَهَا فِي سَاعَةٍ حَارَّةٍ وَ قَدْ تَعِبَ وَ نَصِبَ فَأَتَى زَمْزَمَ وَ قَدْ عَطِشَ فَاغْتَرَفَ دَلْواً فَخَرَجَ لَبَنٌ فَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ يَدُلُّنِي عَلَى أَنَّ مَا خَبَّرَنِي الذِّئْبُ وَ مَا جِئْتُ لَهُ حَقٌّ فَشَرِبَ وَ جَاءَ إِلَى جَانِبٍ مِنْ جَوَانِبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا حَلْقَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَآهُمْ يَشْتِمُونَ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) كَمَا قَالَ الذِّئْبُ

So hear said to hisar wife, ‘Prepare myar provisions and give it to measws along with myasws walking stick’. Then hear went out on his feet towards Makkah to know the news of what the wolf had come up with. Hear reached Makkah and entered it at a time when it was hot, and hear was exhausted. So hear came up to Zamzam (well) and was thirsty. Hear filled a bucket and it turned out to be milk. So hear said to himself, ‘This evidences to mear to what the wolf had informed mear of and what Iar have come to is right. So hear drank and went to a side from the sides of the Masjid. There was a group of Qureysh there, so hear sat among them. Hear saw them insulting the Prophetsaww just as the wolf had said.

فَمَا زَالُوا فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْ ذِكْرِ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ الشَّتْمِ لَهُ حَتَّى جَاءَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ كُفُّوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ عَمُّهُ قَالَ فَكَفُّوا فَمَا زَالَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ وَ يُكَلِّمُهُمْ حَتَّى كَانَ آخِرُ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ قَامَ وَ قُمْتُ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ اذْكُرْ حَاجَتَكَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ قُلْتُ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسِي وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ وَ تَفْعَلُ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَتَعَالَ غَداً فِي هَذَا الْوَقْتِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى أَدْفَعَكَ إِلَيْهِ

They did not stop mentioning the Prophetsaww and insulting himsaww until Abu Talibas came up at the end of the night. So when they saw himas, some of them said to the others, ‘Refrain, for hissaww uncleas is coming!’ They refrained. Hear said, ‘Heas did not stop narrating to them and speaking to them until it was the end of the day. Then heas stood up, and Iar arose following hisas footsteps. So heas turned towards mear and said, ‘Mention yourar need’. So Iar said, ‘This Prophetsaww who has been Sent among you’. Heas said: ‘And what do you want to do with himsaww?’ Iar said, ‘Believe with himsaww, and ratify himsaww and present myselfar to himsaww, and hesaww will not command mear for anything except that Iar shall obey himsaww’. Heas said, ‘And youar will do it?’ Iar said, ‘Yes’. So heas said, ‘Come to meas tomorrow at this time and Ias will take youar to himsaww’.

قَالَ بِتُّ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ جَلَسْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَمَا زَالُوا فِي ذِكْرِ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ شَتْمِهِ حَتَّى إِذَا طَلَعَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَمْسِكُوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ عَمُّهُ فَأَمْسَكُوا فَمَا زَالَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَتَّى قَامَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ اذْكُرْ حَاجَتَكَ فَقُلْتُ النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسِي وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ قَالَ وَ تَفْعَلُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ

Iar waited in the Masjid that night until when it was the morning, Iar sat with them (Qureysh). They did not stop mentioning the Prophetsaww and insulting himsaww until Abu Talibas came over. So when they saw himas, some of them said to the others, ‘Withhold yourselves, for hissaww uncleas has come’. So they withheld. Heas did not stop narrating to them until heas stood up from them. So Iar followed himas. Iar greeted himas, so heas said, ‘State yourar need’. So Iar said, ‘The Prophetsaww, the one Sent among you’. Heas said, ‘And what will you do with himsaww?’ So Iar said, ‘Believe with himsaww, and ratify himsaww, and present myselfar to himsaww, and there is nothing that hesaww will command mear for, but that Iar will obey himsaww’. Heas said, ‘And youar will do it’. Iar said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ قُمْ مَعِي فَتَبِعْتُهُ فَدَفَعَنِي إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِيهِ حَمْزَةُ (عليه السلام) فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ لِي مَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ فَقَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسِي وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَشَهِدْتُ

Heas said, ‘Come with meas. So Iar followed himas. Heas took mear to a house in which was Hamzaas. So Iar greeted himas and sat down. Heas said to mear, ‘What is yourar need?’ I said, ‘This Prophetsaww Sent among you’. So heas said, ‘So what is yourar need to himsaww?’ I said, ‘Believe with himsaww, and ratify himsaww, and present myselfar to himsaww, and hesaww will not command me for anything but that Iar will obey himsaww’. So heas said, ‘Do you testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Iar said, ‘Iar testify’.

قَالَ فَدَفَعَنِي حَمْزَةُ إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِيهِ جَعْفَرٌ (عليه السلام) فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ لِي جَعْفَرٌ (عليه السلام) مَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسِي وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ قَالَ فَشَهِدْتُ

So Hamzaas took mear to a house in which was Ja’faras. Iar greeted himas, and sat down. Ja’faras said to me, ‘What is yourar need?’ So Iar said, ‘This Prophetsaww Sent among you’. Heas said, ‘And what is yourar to himsaww?’ So Iar said, ‘Believe with himsaww, and ratify himsaww, and present myselfar to himsaww, and hesaww will not command mear for anything but that Iar will obey himsaww’. So heas said, ‘Do youar testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Messengersaww?’ Iar said, ‘Iar testify’.

فَدَفَعَنِي إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِيهِ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) فَسَلَّمْتُ وَ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ أَعْرِضُ عَلَيْهِ نَفْسِي وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَشَهِدْتُ

So heas took me to a house in which was Aliasws. Iar greeted himasws and sat down. So heasws said; ‘What is your need?’ I said, ‘This Prophetsaww Sent among you’. Heasws said: ‘And what is yourar need to himsaww?’ I said, ‘Believe with himsaww, and ratify himsaww, and present myselfar to himsaww, and there is nothing that hesaww will command mear for but Iar will obey himsaww’. So heasws said, ‘Do youar testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, and that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj Messengersaww?’ I said, ‘Iar testify’.

فَدَفَعَنِي إِلَى بَيْتٍ فِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَسَلَّمْتُ وَ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا حَاجَتُكَ قُلْتُ النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ أُومِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ فَقَالَ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

So heasws took mear to a house in which was the Rasool Allahsaww. So Iar greeted and sat down. So the Rasool Allahsaww said to mear: ‘What is yourar need?’ Iar said, ‘The Prophetsaww Sent among you’. Hesaww said: ‘And what is yourar need to himsaww?’ Iar said, ‘Believe in himsaww, and ratify himsaww, and hesaww will not command mear for anything but that Iar will obey himsaww’. So hesaww said: ‘Do youar testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is the Rasool Allahsaww?’ So Iar said, ‘Iar testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is the Rasool Allahsaww’.

فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى بِلَادِكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَجِدُ ابْنَ عَمٍّ لَكَ قَدْ مَاتَ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَارِثٌ غَيْرُكَ فَخُذْ مَالَهُ وَ أَقِمْ عِنْدَ أَهْلِكَ حَتَّى يَظْهَرَ أَمْرُنَا قَالَ فَرَجَعَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَأَخَذَ الْمَالَ وَ أَقَامَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ حَتَّى ظَهَرَ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله)

So the Rasool Allahsaww said to mear; ‘O Abu Dharrar! Go to your city, for youar will find that a son of yourar uncle has died and there is no inheritor for him apart from youar. So take his wealth and stay in the presence of yourar family until oursaww matter is made apparent’. So Abu Dharrar returned, took the wealth and stayed in the presence of his family until the matter of the Rasool Allahsaww was made apparent’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) هَذَا حَدِيثُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَ إِسْلَامِهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ أَمَّا حَدِيثُ سَلْمَانَ فَقَدْ سَمِعْتَهُ فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ حَدِّثْنِي بِحَدِيثِ سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ قَدْ سَمِعْتَهُ وَ لَمْ يُحَدِّثْهُ لِسُوءِ أَدَبِهِ.

So Abu Abdullahasws said; ‘This is the Hadith of Abu Dharrar and hisar Islam, may Allahazwj be Pleased with himar. And as for the Hadith of Salmanar, so you have heard it’. So the man said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, narrate to me the Hadith of Salmanar’. Heasws said; ‘You have heard it’. (The narrator) said, ‘And heasws did not narrate it due to his bad manners’.

14906- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ ثُمَامَةَ بْنَ أُثَالٍ أَسَرَتْهُ خَيْلُ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ أَمْكِنِّي مِنْ ثُمَامَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنِّي مُخَيِّرُكَ وَاحِدَةً مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ أَقْتُلُكَ قَالَ إِذاً تَقْتُلَ عَظِيماً أَوْ أُفَادِيكَ قَالَ إِذاً تَجِدَنِي غَالِياً أَوْ أَمُنُّ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ إِذاً تَجِدَنِي شَاكِراً قَالَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ مَنَنْتُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَيْثُ رَأَيْتُكَ وَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَشْهَدَ بِهَا وَ أَنَا فِي الْوَثَاقِ.

H 14906 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws that: ‘Samama Bin Asaal was captured by the cavalry of the Prophetsaww and the Rasool Allahsaww had said; ‘Our Allahazwj! Make mesaww to overcome Samama!’ So the Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘Isaww give you one of three choices. Isaww could kill you’. He said, ‘Then yousaww would have killed a great person’. Hesaww said: ‘Isaww could ransom you’. He said, ‘Then yousaww would find me to be expensive’. Hesaww said: ‘Or Isaww give safety to you’. He said, ‘Then you would find me to be thankful’. Hesaww said: ‘So Isaww give safety to you’. He said, ‘I hereby testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, and yousaww Muhammadsaww are the Rasool Allahsaww, and by Allahazwj, I knew yousaww were the Rasool Allahsaww when I saw yousaww, and I did not testify by it whilst I was in bondage’.

14907- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا وُلِدَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَى مَلَإٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فِيهِمْ هِشَامُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ وَ الْعَاصُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَ أَبُو وَجْزَةَ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرِو بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَ عُتْبَةُ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ فَقَالَ أَ وُلِدَ فِيكُمْ مَوْلُودٌ اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَوُلِدَ إِذاً بِفِلَسْطِينَ غُلَامٌ اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ بِهِ شَامَةٌ كَلَوْنِ الْخَزِّ الْأَدْكَنِ وَ يَكُونُ هَلَاكُ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ قَدْ أَخْطَأَكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ

H 14907 – From him, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abaan, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘When the Prophetsaww came to this world, a man from the People of the Book went to a group from the Qureysh among whom were Hisham Bin Al-Mugheira, and Al-Waleed Bin Al-Mugheira, and Al-A’as Biin Hisham, and Abu Wajzat Bin Abu Amro Bin Umayya, and Uteyba Bin Raiya. So he said, ‘Has there been a birth tonight among you?’ They said, ‘No’. He said, ‘Then there has been born in Palestine a boysaww. Hissaww name is Ahmadsaww. Hesaww is with a black silky mole, and there will occur destruction of the People of the Book, and the Jews by hissaww hands. By Allahazwj, you are mistaken, O group of Qureysh’.

فَتَفَرَّقُوا وَ سَأَلُوا فَأُخْبِرُوا أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ غُلَامٌ فَطَلَبُوا الرَّجُلَ فَلَقُوهُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ قَدْ وُلِدَ فِينَا وَ اللَّهِ غُلَامٌ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكُمْ أَوْ بَعْدَ مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ قَالُوا قَبْلَ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَنَا قَالَ فَانْطَلِقُوا بِنَا إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى أَتَوْا أُمَّهُ فَقَالُوا أَخْرِجِي ابْنَكَ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ ابْنِي وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَقَطَ وَ مَا سَقَطَ كَمَا يَسْقُطُ الصِّبْيَانُ لَقَدِ اتَّقَى الْأَرْضَ بِيَدَيْهِ وَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ نُورٌ حَتَّى نَظَرْتُ إِلَى قُصُورِ بُصْرَى وَ سَمِعْتُ هَاتِفاً فِي الْجَوِّ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ وَلَدْتِيهِ سَيِّدَ الْأُمَّةِ فَإِذَا وَضَعْتِيهِ فَقُولِي أُعِيذُهُ بِالْوَاحِدِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ حَاسِدٍ وَ سَمِّيهِ مُحَمَّداً

So they dispersed and asked around. They were informed that a boy has been born to Abdullah Bin Abdul Muttalibas. So they sought the man, met him and said, ‘By Allahazwj, a boy has been born among us’. He said, ‘Was it before I spoke to you, or after what I spoke to you?’ They said, ‘It was before you spoke to us’. He said, ‘Come with me until I look at himsaww. So they went and came to hissaww motheras. They said, ‘Bring out the boysaww to us until we look at himsaww’. Sheas said, ‘By Allahazwj, myas sonsaww dropped and hesaww did not drop like the newly born drop. Hesaww leaned upon the ground by hissaww hands, and raised hissaww head towards the sky. So hesaww looked at it. Then Light came out from himsaww to the extent that I saw the castles of Basra, and heard a call in the atmosphere saying: ‘Youas have blessed with the Chief of the community. So when youas pick himsaww up say, ‘Ias seek refuge for himsaww with the Oneazwj, from the evil of every envious one, and name himsaww Muhammadsaww’.

قَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَخْرِجِيهِ فَأَخْرَجَتْهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَلَّبَهُ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّامَةِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ فَخَرَّ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَيْهِ فَأَخَذُوا الْغُلَامَ فَأَدْخَلُوهُ إِلَى أُمِّهِ وَ قَالُوا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكِ فِيهِ فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا أَفَاقَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا لَكَ وَيْلَكَ قَالَ ذَهَبَتْ نُبُوَّةُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ مَنْ يُبِيرُهُمْ فَفَرِحَتْ قُرَيْشٌ بِذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ قَدْ فَرِحُوا قَالَ قَدْ فَرِحْتُمْ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَيَسْطُوَنَّ بِكُمْ سَطْوَةً يَتَحَدَّثُ بِهَا أَهْلُ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ كَانَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ يَقُولُ يَسْطُو بِمِصْرِهِ.

The man said, ‘Bring himsaww out’. So sheas brought himsaww out. He looked at himsaww, then turned himsaww over and looked at the mole between hissaww shoulder blades. He fell down unconscious. So they took the boysaww, and gave himsaww to hissaww motheras and said, ‘May Allahazwj Bless youas with regards to himsaww’. When they went out, he had regained consciousness, so they said to him, ‘What is the matter with you? Woe be unto you!’ He said, ‘The Prophet-hood has gone from the Children of Israel up to the Day of Judgement. By Allahazwj! This is the one whosaww will destroy them’. The Quresyh were happy with that. So when he saw that they had become happy, he said, ‘You are becoming happy? But, by Allahazwj, hesaww will rob you of the power which the people of the East and the West would talk about it’. And Abu Sufyan was saying, ‘Hesaww would rob (the power) from hissaww own city?’

So Abu Talibas said to heras, ‘Indeed! Ias give youas good news!’ Sheas said, ‘Yes’. So heas said, ‘Youas will be blessed with the oneasws who will be the successorasws of this newbornsaww’.

H 14921 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaaz, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Ibrahimas saw the Kingdom of the Heavens and the earth, heas turned and saw a man committing adultery. So heas supplicated against him. He died. Then heas saw another one. Heas supplicated against him, so he died as well, to the extent that heas saw a third one, and heas supplicated against him and he died too.

فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ إِلَيْهِ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِنَّ دَعْوَتَكَ مُجَابَةٌ فَلَا تَدْعُ عَلَى عِبَادِي فَإِنِّي لَوْ شِئْتُ لَمْ أَخْلُقْهُمْ إِنِّي خَلَقْتُ خَلْقِي عَلَى ثَلَاثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ عَبْداً يَعْبُدُنِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئاً فَأُثِيبُهُ وَ عَبْداً يَعْبُدُ غَيْرِي فَلَنْ يَفُوتَنِي وَ عَبْداً عَبَدَ غَيْرِي فَأُخْرِجُ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُنِي

So Allahazwj Revealed unto himas: “O Ibrahimas! If youas supplicate, it would be Answered, so do not supplicate against Myazwj servants, for if Iazwj so Desired, Iazwj would have never Created them. Iazwj Created Myazwj creation upon three categories. There is a type of servant who worships Meazwj and does not associate anything with Meazwj, so Iazwj reward him; and there is a servant who worships other than Meazwj so he won’t escape Meazwj; and a servant who worships other than Meazwj, so Iazwj bring out from his descendants the one who would worship Meazwj”.

Then heas turned, so heas saw a carcass on the coast of the sea, half of it was in the water and half of it in the sand. The sea lions came and ate what was in the water, then returned and heas saw some of them on top of the others eating each other, and the lions of the land came and ate from it. So heas saw some of them on top of each other, eating each other. That surprised Ibrahimas from what heas saw, and said: “[2:260] Show me, Lord, how You will raise the dead”. How do Youazwj Bring back that which has consumed each other’. “He replied: "Have you no faith?" He said "Yes, but just to reassure my heart”, meaning, until heas sees this like he sees all the things’. “Allah said, "Take four birds, draw them to you, and cut their bodies to pieces. Scatter them over the mountain-tops”. So heas cut them and mixed them up just like this corpse has been mixed up inside the lion which some of them consumed the others “Scatter them over the mountain-tops then call them back. They will come swiftly to you”. So when heas called them over, they responded. And the mountains were ten in number’.

H 14922 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said:

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the heat and the cold, from what do they emanate?’ O Abu Ayyub! Mars is a hot planet and Saturn is a cold planet. So if Mars begins to rise, the Saturn goes lower, and that is in the spring. So they do not stop being like that. Every time Mars rises a level, Saturn falls for three months until the Mars ends up high and Saturn ends up in the decline.

For the Mars that is its hottest time. So when it is at the end of the summer and the beginning of the autumn, Saturn begins to ascend and the Mars begins to descend. So these two do not stop being like that. Every time Saturn rises a level, Mars declines a level, and that is at the beginning of the winter and at the end of the summer. So that is its coldest time.

Every time this one rises, this one comes down, and every time this one comes down, this one rises. So if there is a cold day in the summer, so that is the action of the Moon, and if there is a hot day in the winter, so that action is due to the Sun. “[36:38] that is the ordinance of the Mighty, the Knowing” and Iasws am the servant of the Lordazwj of the Worlds’.

H 14923 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Abdullah Bin Maymoun Al-Qaddaah, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! The one who loves youasws, then dies, so he has died. And the one who loves youasws and has not died yet, so he is awaiting. And the sun does not rise nor sets except that it comes to him with sustenance and the faith’. And in another copy (it says): ‘Light’.

H 14924 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nowfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘There will come a time upon mysaww community when they will be ugly in their inner selves and beautiful in their appearances. They will be greedy for what is in the world and will not be intending what is in the Presence of Allahazwj, their Lordazwj. Their Religion would have become a (matter of) show-off. Fear will not have entered into them. Allahazwj would Prevail over them with Punishment. So they would be supplicating by the supplication of the Drowning One (Du’a Al-Ghareek), so Heazwj will not Answer to them’.

H 14925 – From him, from his father, from Al-Nowfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Amir-ul- Momineenasws said: ‘When the jurists and the scholars used to write to (deal with) each other, they did so in three ways, and there was no fourth. The one who thought of his Hereafter, Allahazwj Sufficed for his concerns of the world. And the one who corrected himself in secret, Allahazwj Corrected him publicly. And the one who corrected with regards to what was in between him and Allahazwj, Allahazwj Blessed and High Corrected with regards to what was in between him and the people’.

H 14926 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Sa’daan Bin Muslim, from some of our companions, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There was a man in Al-Medina who entered the Masjid of the Messengersaww and he said, ‘Grant me comfort in my anxiety, and company for my loneliness, and sustenance of a righteous companion’. There was a man seated in the corner of the Masjid. So he greeted him and said to him, ‘Who are you, O servant of Allahazwj?’ So hear said: ‘Iar am Abu Dharrar’. The man said, ‘Allahazwj is Great! Allahazwj is Great!’ So Abu Dharrar said: ‘And why did you exclaim that, O servant of Allahazwj?’ He said, ‘I entered the Masjid, so I supplicated to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic to Grant me comfort in my anxiety, and company for my loneliness, and sustenance of a righteous companion’. So Abu Dharrar said to him, ‘Iar have more right for the exclamation than you are if Iar was that companion, for Iar heard the Rasool Allahsaww saying: ‘Isaww and youar would be upon a canal on the Day of Judgement until the people are free from the Accounting. Arise (and leave) O servant of Allahazwj for the authorities have prohibited for anyone to be seated with mear’.

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Amir-ul- Momineenasws said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘There will come upon the people a time when nothing will remain from the Quran except for its image, and nothing from Al-Islam except for its name. They will be named by it (as Muslims) but they would be far from it. Their Masjid will be well built but would be ruins in matters of guidance. The Jurists of that era would be the most evil jurists under the shadow of the sky. The strife (Fitna) would commence from them and end up to them’.

H 14928 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Yazeed who said:

I heard Al-Rezaasws at Khurasaan and heasws was saying: ‘Weasws, the Peopleasws of the Household inherited the forgiveness from the Progeny of Yaqoubas, and weasws inherited the appreciation from the Progeny of Dawoodas’. And I (the narrator) think that there was another statement which was forgotten by Muhammad (the narrator), so I said to him, Perhaps it is that heasws said: ‘And weasws inherited the patience from the Progeny of Ayubas’. He said, ‘It is befitting’.

قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَسْبَاطٍ وَ إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنَ يَقْطِينٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورُ الْمَدِينَةَ سَنَةَ قَتْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ابْنَيْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَمِّهِ عِيسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ رَأَى أَنْ يَعْضِدَ شَجَرَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَنْ يُعَوِّرَ عُيُونَهَا وَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ أَعْلَاهَا أَسْفَلَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَذَا ابْنُ عَمِّكَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِالْحَضْرَةِ فَابْعَثْ إِلَيْهِ فَسَلْهُ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّأْيِ

Ali Bin Asbaat said, ‘But rather, I said that because I had heard Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen narrate from some of his men, ‘When Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour went to Al-Medina in the year in which Muhammad and Ibrahim the sons of Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan were killed, he turned towards his uncle Isa Bin Ali. He said to him, ‘O Abu Al-Abbas! The commander of the faithful (the Caliph) has decided that the trees of Al-Medina be cut down, and its fountains blocked, and it be turned upside down’. He said, ‘O commander of the faithful (Caliph), this here is the sonasws of your uncle Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws, send for him and ask himasws of his opinion’. 

قَالَ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَعْلَمَهُ عِيسَى فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ دَاوُدَ (عليه السلام) أُعْطِيَ فَشَكَرَ وَ إِنَّ أَيُّوبَ (عليه السلام) ابْتُلِيَ فَصَبَرَ وَ إِنَّ يُوسُفَ (عليه السلام) عَفَا بَعْدَ مَا قَدَرَ فَاعْفُ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ نَسْلِ أُولَئِكَ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So he sent a message which Isa informed himasws of, and then returned back to him. So he said to him, ‘O commander of the faithful (Caliph), Dawoodas was Granted appreciation, and Ayyubas was in affliction so heas was patient, and that Yusufas forgave after being in power. So forgive, for you are from the lineage of those onesas’.

H 14929 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Zur’at Bin Muhammad, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[2:89] and before that they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve”. Heasws said: ‘The Jews had found in their Book that Muhammadsaww would emigrate between Ayr and Ohad, so they went out look for these places. They passed by a mountain called Hadaad, so they said, ‘Hadaad and Ohad are one and the same’. So they dispersed upon that. Some of them encamped at Tayma and some of them at Fadak, and some of them at Khyber’.

فَاشْتَاقَ الَّذِينَ بِتَيْمَاءَ إِلَى بَعْضِ إِخْوَانِهِمْ فَمَرَّ بِهِمْ أَعْرَابِيٌّ مِنْ قَيْسٍ فَتَكَارَوْا مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ أَمُرُّ بِكُمْ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْرٍ وَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِذَا مَرَرْتَ بِهِمَا فَآذِنَّا بِهِمَا فَلَمَّا تَوَسَّطَ بِهِمْ أَرْضَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ لَهُمْ ذَاكَ عَيْرٌ وَ هَذَا أُحُدٌ فَنَزَلُوا عَنْ ظَهْرِ إِبِلِهِ وَ قَالُوا قَدْ أَصَبْنَا بُغْيَتَنَا فَلَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِي إِبِلِكَ فَاذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ كَتَبُوا إِلَى إِخْوَانِهِمُ الَّذِينَ بِفَدَكَ وَ خَيْبَرَ أَنَّا قَدْ أَصَبْنَا الْمَوْضِعَ فَهَلُمُّوا إِلَيْنَا فَكَتَبُوا إِلَيْهِمْ أَنَّا قَدِ اسْتَقَرَّتْ بِنَا الدَّارُ وَ اتَّخَذْنَا الْأَمْوَالَ وَ مَا أَقْرَبَنَا مِنْكُمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَمَا أَسْرَعَنَا إِلَيْكُمْ

The ones who were at Tayma longed to be with some of their brothers. A Bedouin from Qays, passed by them so they hired (a camel) from him and he said to them, ‘I shall pass with you in between Ayr and Ohad’. They said to him, ‘When you pass by these two, point these two places out to us. So when he was in the middle of the land of Al-Medina, he said to them, ‘That is Ayr and this is Ohad’. So they descended from the backs of his camels and said, ‘We have reached where we wanted to be, therefore we do not have any need for your camels, and so you can go to wherever you like’. And they wrote to their brothers who were at Fadak and Khyber, ‘We have got to the place so come to us’. They wrote back to them, ‘We have settled in the houses and acquired assets, and there is no one closer to us than you are. So when that event transpires, we would quickly come to you’.

فَاتَّخَذُوا بِأَرْضِ الْمَدِينَةِ الْأَمْوَالَ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَتْ أَمْوَالُهُمْ بَلَغَ تُبَّعَ فَغَزَاهُمْ فَتَحَصَّنُوا مِنْهُ فَحَاصَرَهُمْ وَ كَانُوا يَرِقُّونَ لِضُعَفَاءِ أَصْحَابِ تُبَّعٍ فَيُلْقُونَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِاللَّيْلِ التَّمْرَ وَ الشَّعِيرَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ تُبَّعَ فَرَقَّ لَهُمْ وَ آمَنَهُمْ فَنَزَلُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنِّي قَدِ اسْتَطَبْتُ بِلَادَكُمْ وَ لَا أَرَانِي إِلَّا مُقِيماً فِيكُمْ فَقَالُوا لَهُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ ذَاكَ لَكَ إِنَّهَا مُهَاجَرُ نَبِيٍّ وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ لِأَحَدٍ حَتَّى يَكُونَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنِّي مُخَلِّفٌ فِيكُمْ مِنْ أُسْرَتِي مَنْ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ سَاعَدَهُ وَ نَصَرَهُ

They acquired assets in the land of Al-Medina. When their wealth increased, it (news) reached Tubba and he attacked them. They fortified themselves from him, so he surrounded them. They felt sympathetic towards the weak ones of Tubba and they would throw the dates and the barley towards them at night. So (the news of) that reached Tubba, and he sympathised with them and granted them amnesty. They came down to him. He said to them, ‘I have come to like your city and would like to reside among you’. So they said to him, ‘It is not for you to dwell in that place, for a Prophetsaww would be emigrating and that is not for anyone until that happens’. He said to them, ‘I will leave behind among you members of my family, so when that happens, they would support himsaww and help himsaww’.

فَخَلَّفَ حَيَّيْنِ الْأَوْسَ وَ الْخَزْرَجَ فَلَمَّا كَثُرُوا بِهَا كَانُوا يَتَنَاوَلُونَ أَمْوَالَ الْيَهُودِ وَ كَانَتِ الْيَهُودُ تَقُولُ لَهُمْ أَمَا لَوْ قَدْ بُعِثَ مُحَمَّدٌ لَيُخْرِجَنَّكُمْ مِنْ دِيَارِنَا وَ أَمْوَالِنَا فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) آمَنَتْ بِهِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَ كَفَرَتْ بِهِ الْيَهُودُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ كانُوا مِنْ قَبْلُ يَسْتَفْتِحُونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فَلَمَّا جاءَهُمْ ما عَرَفُوا كَفَرُوا بِهِ فَلَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْكافِرِينَ.

So he left behind two tribes, Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj. So when they multiplied, they used to take the wealth of the Jews and the Jews used to say to them, ‘But, when Muhammadsaww is Sent, hesaww would take you all out from our houses and our wealth’. So when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent Muhammadsaww, the Helpers believed in himsaww, but the Jews denied himsaww, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[2:89] and before that they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve, but when there came to them (Prophet) that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved in him; so Allah's curse is on the unbelievers.”

H 14930 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[2:89] and before that they used to pray for victory against those who disbelieve, but when there came to them (Prophet) that which they did not recognize, they disbelieved in him”. Heasws said: ‘A people who were in between (the era of) Muhammadsaww and Isaas, and they would inform the idol worshippers about the promised Prophetsaww, and they were saying, ‘When the Prophetsaww comes out, hesaww would break your idols, and will do this with you, and that with you’. However, when the Rasool Allahsaww came out, they denied himsaww’.

14931- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ خَمْسُ عَلَامَاتٍ قَبْلَ قِيَامِ الْقَائِمِ الصَّيْحَةُ وَ السُّفْيَانِيُّ وَ الْخَسْفُ وَ قَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الزَّكِيَّةِ وَ الْيَمَانِيُّ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنْ خَرَجَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ قَبْلَ هَذِهِ الْعَلَامَاتِ أَ نَخْرُجُ مَعَهُ قَالَ لَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ تَلَوْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ إِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْناقُهُمْ لَها خاضِعِينَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَ هِيَ الصَّيْحَةُ فَقَالَ أَمَا لَوْ كَانَتْ خَضَعَتْ أَعْنَاقُ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

H 14931 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazaz, from Umar Bin Hanzala who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There are five signs before the rising of Al-Qaimasws – The scream, and the Sufyani, and the sinking (of the earth), and the killing of the pure soul (Al-Nafs Al-Zakkiyya) and Al-Yamany’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, if someone from yourasws Household comes out (in revolt) before these signs, shall we come out (revolt) with him?’ Heasws said: ‘No’. So when it was the next morning, I recited this Verse: “[26:4] If We please, We should send down upon them a sign from the heaven so that their necks should stoop to it”. I said, ‘Is this the scream?’ Heasws said: ‘If that was, then the necks of the enemies of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would stoop down in humility’.

14932- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ اخْتِلَافُ بَنِي الْعَبَّاسِ مِنَ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ النِّدَاءُ مِنَ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ خُرُوجُ الْقَائِمِ مِنَ الْمَحْتُومِ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ النِّدَاءُ قَالَ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ أَلَا إِنَّ عَلِيّاً وَ شِيعَتَهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ قَالَ وَ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ فِي آخِرِ النَّهَارِ أَلَا إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ وَ شِيعَتَهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ.

H 14932 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Abu Jameela, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Halby who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The differing of the Clan of Abbas is from the inevitable, and the Call is from the inevitable, and the coming out of Al-Qaimasws is from the inevitable’. I said, ‘And How would be the Call?’ Heasws said: ‘A Caller will Call out from the sky at the beginning of the day: ‘Indeed! Aliasws and hisasws Shites, they are the winners’. Heasws said: ‘And a Caller will Call out at the end of the day: ‘Indeed! Usman and his Shites, they are the winners’.

H 14933 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Zayd Al-Shahaam who said:

Qatada Bin Da’ama came up to Abu Ja’farasws, so heasws said: ‘O Qatada! Are you a Faqih (Jurist) of the people of Basra?’ He said, ‘That is what they are alleging'. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘It has reached measws that you are explaining the Quran’. Qatada said to himasws, ‘Yes’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘You are explaining it by knowledge or by ignorance?’ He said, ‘No, by knowledge’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘So if you are explaining by knowledge, so ‘you are’ ‘who you are’ and Iasws would like to ask you’. Qatada said, ‘Ask’.

قَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي سَبَإٍ وَ قَدَّرْنا فِيهَا السَّيْرَ سِيرُوا فِيها لَيالِيَ وَ أَيَّاماً آمِنِينَ فَقَالَ قَتَادَةُ ذَلِكَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بِزَادٍ حَلَالٍ وَ رَاحِلَةٍ وَ كِرَاءٍ حَلَالٍ يُرِيدُ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ كَانَ آمِناً حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) نَشَدْتُكَ اللَّهَ يَا قَتَادَةُ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ يَخْرُجُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بِزَادٍ حَلَالٍ وَ رَاحِلَةٍ وَ كِرَاءٍ حَلَالٍ يُرِيدُ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ فَيُقْطَعُ عَلَيْهِ الطَّرِيقُ فَتُذْهَبُ نَفَقَتُهُ وَ يُضْرَبُ مَعَ ذَلِكَ ضَرْبَةً فِيهَا اجْتِيَاحُهُ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ اللَّهُمَّ نَعَمْ

Heasws said: ‘Inform measws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic in (the Chapter) Saba: “[34:18] and We apportioned the journey therein: Travel through them nights and days, secure”. Qatada said, ‘That is for the one who goes out from his house with lawful provisions, and camel rented lawfully intending this House (Kabah). He would be safe until he returns back to his family’. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Iasws hold you to Allahazwj, O Qatada! Do you know that if the man comes out from his house with lawful provisions, and a camel rented lawfully, intending this House, he could get cut off (by bandits) on the road, and his provisions would be lost and he could be injured due to that?’ Qatada said, ‘Our Allahazwj, Yes!’ 

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَيْحَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ إِنْ كُنْتَ إِنَّمَا فَسَّرْتَ الْقُرْآنَ مِنْ تِلْقَاءِ نَفْسِكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكْتَ وَ أَهْلَكْتَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ أَخَذْتَهُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَقَدْ هَلَكْتَ وَ أَهْلَكْتَ وَيْحَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ ذَلِكَ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ بِزَادٍ وَ رَاحِلَةٍ وَ كِرَاءٍ حَلَالٍ يَرُومُ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّنَا يَهْوَانَا قَلْبُهُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَعْنِ الْبَيْتَ فَيَقُولَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ دَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) الَّتِي مَنْ هَوَانَا قَلْبُهُ قُبِلَتْ حَجَّتُهُ وَ إِلَّا فَلَا يَا قَتَادَةُ فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ آمِناً مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ قَتَادَةُ لَا جَرَمَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا فَسَّرْتُهَا إِلَّا هَكَذَا فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَيْحَكَ يَا قَتَادَةُ إِنَّمَا يَعْرِفُ الْقُرْآنَ مَنْ خُوطِبَ بِهِ.

So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Woe be unto you! But rather, you are explaining the Quran from your own free will, so you are destroyed and causing others to be destroyed. And if you have taken it from the men (others), you have been destroyed and so have they.

Woe be unto you! (But) that is for the one who comes out from his house with provisions, and lawful means of transportation aspiring for this House while having recognised ourasws rights, loving usasws with his heart, just as Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[14:37] therefore make the hearts of some people yearn towards them” and it does not mean the House, for Heazwj is Saying ‘towards them’. So weasws are, by Allahazwj, the supplication of Ibrahimas towards whomasws if one loves with one’s heart, his Pilgrimage would be Accepted, otherwise it will not be, O Qatada!

So if it is like that, he would be safe from the Punishment of Hell on the Day of Judgement’. Qatada said, ‘No offence. By Allahazwj, I will not explain it except like this’. So Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Woe be unto you, O Qatada! But rather, you should understand the Quran from the onesasws who have been addressed by it’.

14934- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَخْبَرَنِي الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ إِذَا وَقَفَ الْخَلَائِقَ وَ جَمَعَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ أُتِيَ بِجَهَنَّمَ تُقَادُ بِأَلْفِ زِمَامٍ أَخَذَ بِكُلِّ زِمَامٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ مِنَ الْغِلَاظِ الشِّدَادِ وَ لَهَا هَدَّةٌ وَ تَحَطُّمٌ وَ زَفِيرٌ وَ شَهِيقٌ وَ إِنَّهَا لَتَزْفِرُ الزَّفْرَةَ فَلَوْ لَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَخَّرَهَا إِلَى الْحِسَابِ لَأَهْلَكَتِ الْجَمِيعَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا عُنُقٌ يُحِيطُ بِالْخَلَائِقِ الْبَرِّ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْفَاجِرِ فَمَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَبْداً مِنْ عِبَادِهِ مَلَكٍ وَ لَا نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَ يُنَادِي يَا رَبِّ نَفْسِي نَفْسِي وَ أَنْتَ تَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي

H 14934 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Jabir, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws says that the Prophetsaww said: ‘The Trustworthy Spirit (Jibraeel) informed mesaww that Allahazwj, there is no god apart from Himazwj, when Heazwj Pauses the creatures and Gathers the former ones and the later ones, Hell will be brought by a thousand reins, each rein grabbed by a hundred thousand Angels from the strong and harsh ones, making crushing, and shattering sounds with its exhalation and inhalation, sighing in its exhalation. And if Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic does not Delay it until the Accounting is dealt with, it would destroy all. Then a neck would come out from it, which would encompass the creatures, be they righteous or be they tyrants from among them. So there is no creature of Allahazwj, a servant from Hisazwj servants, Angel, or Prophetas except that he would call out, ‘O Lordazwj, (save) my soul! (save) my soul! Whilst yousaww would be saying: ‘O Lordazwj, (save) mysaww community! (save) Mysaww community!

ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ عَلَيْهَا صِرَاطٌ أَدَقُّ مِنَ الشَّعْرِ وَ أَحَدُّ مِنَ السَّيْفِ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثُ قَنَاطِرَ الْأُولَى عَلَيْهَا الْأَمَانَةُ وَ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ الثَّانِيَةُ عَلَيْهَا الصَّلَاةُ وَ الثَّالِثَةُ عَلَيْهَا رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ فَيُكَلَّفُونَ الْمَمَرَّ عَلَيْهَا فَتَحْبِسُهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ الْأَمَانَةُ فَإِنْ نَجَوْا مِنْهَا حَبَسَتْهُمُ الصَّلَاةُ فَإِنْ نَجَوْا مِنْهَا كَانَ الْمُنْتَهَى إِلَى رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَبِالْمِرْصادِ

Then a Bridge would be placed over it, thinner than the hair, and sharper than the sword. It would have three hurdles for it. The first one being the fulfilment of the trusts and the mercy; and the second being the Salat’ and the third being the Lordazwj of the Words, there is no god apart from Himazwj. So they will be mandated to cross over it. They would be captivated by the mercy and the fulfilment of the trust stage. So if they can be rescued from it, the Salat stage would capture them. So if they can be rescued from it, they would end up to the Lordazwj of the Worlds, Majestic is Hisazwj Mention, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[89:14] Lo! Your Lord is ever watchful”.

وَ النَّاسُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ فَمُتَعَلِّقٌ تَزِلُّ قَدَمُهُ وَ تَثْبُتُ قَدَمُهُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَوْلَهَا يُنَادُونَ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا حَلِيمُ اعْفُ وَ اصْفَحْ وَ عُدْ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ سَلِّمْ وَ النَّاسُ يَتَهَافَتُونَ فِيهَا كَالْفَرَاشِ فَإِذَا نَجَا نَاجٍ بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانِي مِنْكِ بَعْدَ يَأْسٍ بِفَضْلِهِ وَ مَنِّهِ إِنَّ رَبَّنَا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ.

And the people would be upon the Bridge, (some) of their feet slipping and (some) of their feet firm; and the Angels would be around them Calling out: ‘O Benevolent! O Lenient! Excuse them, and Forgive them, and Return by Yourazwj Grace, and Secure them while the people would be flocking on it like moths. So the one who is saved would be so by the Mercy of Allahazwj Blessed and High would look at it (the Bridge) and say, ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj Who Rescued me from you (the Bridge) after finding me lost and in desperation, by Hisazwj Grace. Surely, our Lordazwj is Forgiving, Appreciative’.

14935- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْراتِ أَيْنَ ما تَكُونُوا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً قَالَ الْخَيْرَاتُ الْوَلَايَةُ وَ قَوْلُهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَيْنَ ما تَكُونُوا يَأْتِ بِكُمُ اللَّهُ جَمِيعاً يَعْنِي أَصْحَابَ الْقَائِمِ الثَّلَاثَمِائَةِ وَ الْبِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا قَالَ وَ هُمْ وَ اللَّهِ الْأُمَّةُ الْمَعْدُودَةُ قَالَ يَجْتَمِعُونَ وَ اللَّهِ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ قَزَعٌ كَقَزَعِ الْخَرِيفِ.

H 14935 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Ismail Bin Jabir, from Abu Khalid, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[2:148] therefore hasten to (do) good works; wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together”. Heasws said: ‘Good works is a reference to Al-Wilayah, and the Words of the Blessed and the High: “wherever you are, Allah will bring you all together” mean the companions of Al-Qaimasws, three hundred and some ten men’. Heasws said: ‘And they are, by Allahazwj, a numbered community’. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj they would gather together in a single moment, like clouds in the autumn’.

14936- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ مُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَيْفَرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ سِيرُوا الْبَرْدَيْنِ قُلْتُ إِنَّا نَتَخَوَّفُ مِنَ الْهَوَامِّ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَصَابَكُمْ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مَعَ أَنَّكُمْ مَضْمُونُونَ.

And if the man hates you (Shites), and does not know what you are saying (believing in), so Allahazwj would Enter him into the Fire. And the man from among you would fill his book (of deeds) from without (having performed) deeds’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, and how can that be?’ Heasws said: ‘He passed by the group belittling us, they see him, and some of them say to the others, ‘Refrain, for this man is from theirasws Shites’. And the man from ourasws Shites passes by them, so they mock him and speak (bad) regarding him, so Allahazwj Writes for him Rewards, due to that, until his book (of) deeds gets filled up without (having performed) any deeds’.

Abu Abdullahasws said to me; ‘How much (distance is there) between you and Al-Basra?’ I said, ‘It is five (days) by the water (sea) if the wind is good, and upon the back (of the earth) eight days or approximate to that’. So heasws said: ‘This is not near. Visit each other frequently for there will not be an escape on the Day of Judgement from each human being to bring a witness who would testify for him upon his Religion’.

Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[2:247] And their prophet said to them: Surely Allah has raised Talut to be a king over you. Heasws said: ‘Heas was neither from the grandsons of the Prophetsas nor was heas from the grandsons of the kings’. He said: Surely Allah has chosen him in preference to you”. And Said: “[2:248] And the prophet said to them: Surely the sign of His kingdom is, that there shall come to you the chest in which there is tranquillity from your Lord and residue of the relics of what the children of Musa and the children of Haroun have left, the angels bearing it”.

وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُمْ بِنَهَرٍ فَمَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْرَبْ فَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا قَالَ الَّذِينَ اغْتَرَفُوا لا طاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجالُوتَ وَ جُنُودِهِ وَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَغْتَرِفُوا كَمْ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ.

And Allahazwj Said: “[2:249] Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, So they drank from it except for three hundred and thirteen men. From them were those who drank, and those who did not drink. So when it was time for duel, the ones who had drunk they said: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces. And those who did not drink said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient”.

H 14949 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Hassan Bin Zareyf, from Abdul Samad Bin Bashir, from Abu Al-Jaroud, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said to me: ‘O Abu Al-Jaroud! What are they saying to you all with regards to Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws?’ I said, ‘They are denying us that the two of themasws are the sonsasws of the Rasool Allahsaww’. Heasws said: ‘So by which thing do you argue against them?’ I said, ‘We argue against them by the Statement of Allahazwj regarding Isa Bin Maryamas: “[6:84] and of his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayub and Yusuf and Musa and Haroun; and thus do We reward those who do good (to others) [6:85] And Zakariya and Yahya and Isa”. So Heazwj Made Isa Bin Maryamas to be from the descendants of Noahas’.

قَالَ فَأَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَالُوا لَكُمْ قُلْتُ قَالُوا قَدْ يَكُونُ وَلَدُ الِابْنَةِ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ وَ لَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الصُّلْبِ قَالَ فَأَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ احْتَجَجْتُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ قُلْتُ احْتَجَجْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لِرَسُولِهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقُلْ تَعالَوْا نَدْعُ أَبْناءَنا وَ أَبْناءَكُمْ وَ نِساءَنا وَ نِساءَكُمْ وَ أَنْفُسَنا وَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ قَالَ فَأَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَالُوا قُلْتُ قَالُوا قَدْ يَكُونُ فِي كَلَامِ الْعَرَبِ أَبْنَاءُ رَجُلٍ وَ آخَرُ يَقُولُ أَبْنَاؤُنَا

Heasws said: ‘So what is it that they say to you?’ I said, ‘They say, ‘The sons of a daughter can be from the sons, but they still are not from the linage’. Heasws said: ‘So which argument do you argue against them with?’ I said, ‘We argue against them by the Statement of Allahazwj to Hisazwj Messengersaww: “[3:61] say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and ourselves and your selves”. Heasws said: ‘So what do they say?’ I said, ‘They say that in the speech of the Arabs a man may say ‘our sons’ for the sons of another man’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَا أَبَا الْجَارُودِ لَأُعْطِيَنَّكَهَا مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ تَعَالَى أَنَّهُمَا مِنْ صُلْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَا يَرُدُّهَا إِلَّا الْكَافِرُ قُلْتُ وَ أَيْنَ ذَلِكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ مِنْ حَيْثُ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهاتُكُمْ وَ بَناتُكُمْ وَ أَخَواتُكُمْ الْآيَةَ إِلَى أَنِ انْتَهَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ حَلائِلُ أَبْنائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ أَصْلابِكُمْ فَسَلْهُمْ يَا أَبَا الْجَارُودِ هَلْ كَانَ يَحِلُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) نِكَاحُ حَلِيلَتَيْهِمَا فَإِنْ قَالُوا نَعَمْ كَذَبُوا وَ فَجَرُوا وَ إِنْ قَالُوا لَا فَهُمَا ابْنَاهُ لِصُلْبِهِ.

(The narrator) said, ‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘O Abu Al-Jaroud! Iasws will give it (proof) from the Book of Allahazwj that the two of themasws are from the progeny of the Rasool Allahsaww. None shall reject it except for the infidel’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, and where is that?’ Heasws said: ‘Where Allahazwj Says: “[4:23] Forbidden to you are your mothers and your daughters and your sisters - the Verse until it ends with the Words of the Blessed and High and the wives of your sons who are of your own loins”. So ask them, O Abu Al-Jaroud, was it Permissible for the Rasool Allahsaww to marry the wives of the two of themasws? If they say, ‘Yes’, they lie, are mischievous, and if they say, ‘No’, so the two of themasws are from hissaww seed’.

14950- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) انْصَرَفَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِوَجْهِهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ أَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَمْ أُقْتَلْ وَ لَمْ أَمُتْ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ فَقَالَا الْآنَ يَسْخَرُ بِنَا أَيْضاً وَ قَدْ هُزِمْنَا وَ بَقِيَ مَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) وَ سِمَاكُ بْنُ خَرَشَةَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ

H 14950 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Al-Husayn Abu Al-A’ala Al-Khaffaf, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘When the people were defeated on the Day of Ohad and fled from the Prophetsaww, hesaww turned towards them with hissaww face and was saying: ‘Isaww am Muhammadsaww! Isaww am the Rasool Allahsaww! Isaww have neither been killed nor have Isaww died’. So and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar) turned towards himsaww saying, ‘Now hesaww is mocking with us as well and we have been defeated. And there remained with himsaww Aliasws and Samaak Bin Kharsha Abu Dujanaar, may Allahazwj have Mercy on him.

فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا دُجَانَةَ انْصَرِفْ وَ أَنْتَ فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ بَيْعَتِكَ فَأَمَّا عَلِيٌّ فَأَنَا هُوَ وَ هُوَ أَنَا فَتَحَوَّلَ وَ جَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ بَكَى وَ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا جَعَلْتُ نَفْسِي فِي حِلٍّ مِنْ بَيْعَتِي إِنِّي بَايَعْتُكَ فَإِلَى مَنْ أَنْصَرِفُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَى زَوْجَةٍ تَمُوتُ أَوْ وَلَدٍ يَمُوتُ أَوْ دَارٍ تَخْرَبُ وَ مَالٍ يَفْنَى وَ أَجَلٍ قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ فَرَقَّ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى أَثْخَنَتْهُ الْجِرَاحَةُ وَ هُوَ فِي وَجْهٍ وَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) فِي وَجْهٍ

So the Prophetsaww called himar over and said: ‘O Abu Dujana! Leave, for youar are free from your pledge of allegiance. As for Aliasws, so Isaww am himasws and heasws is mesaww’.  So he came over and sat down in front of the Prophetsaww and wept, and said, ‘No, by Allahazwj!’ And hear raised hisar head towards the sky and said, ‘No, by Allahazwj! Iar will not make myself free from my pledge of allegiance. Iar gave myar pledge of allegiance to yousaww, so where shall Iar go, to a wife who will die, or a son who will die, or a house which will be ruined and wealth which will be destroyed, and a term (death) which comes nearer?’ So the Prophetsaww left himar, and hear did not stop fighting until he was weakened by the wounds and hear was on one side of himsaww and Aliasws was on the other side of himsaww.

فَلَمَّا أُسْقِطَ احْتَمَلَهُ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) فَجَاءَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَوَضَعَهُ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ وَفَيْتُ بِبَيْعَتِي قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) خَيْراً وَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْمَيْمَنَةَ فَيَكْشِفُهُمْ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) فَإِذَا كَشَفَهُمْ أَقْبَلَتِ الْمَيْسَرَةُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ كَذَلِكَ حَتَّى تَقَطَّعَ سَيْفُهُ بِثَلَاثِ قِطَعٍ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله  فَطَرَحَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا سَيْفِي قَدْ تَقَطَّعَ فَيَوْمَئِذٍ أَعْطَاهُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) ذَا الْفَقَارِ

So when hear dropped, Aliasws carried himar to the Prophetsaww and placed himar in hissaww presence. So hear said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, have Iar been loyal to myar pledge of allegiance?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’. And the Prophetsaww said good things for himar. And the people were attacking the Prophetsaww from the right, so Aliasws defended himsaww. So when heasws defended himsaww, they attacked the Prophetsaww from the left. That situation did not cease until hisasws sword broke into three pieces. So heasws came to the Prophetsaww. Heasws displayed it in front himsaww and said: ‘This is myasws sword which has broken. Thus, it was on that day that the Prophetsaww gave himasws Za Al-Fiqar (Zulfiqar).

وَ لَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) اخْتِلَاجَ سَاقَيْهِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ الْقِتَالِ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ يَبْكِي وَ قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تُظْهِرَ دِينَكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ لَمْ يُعْيِكَ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْمَعُ دَوِيّاً شَدِيداً وَ أَسْمَعُ أَقْدِمْ حَيْزُومُ وَ مَا أَهُمُّ أَضْرِبُ أَحَداً إِلَّا سَقَطَ مَيِّتاً قَبْلَ أَنْ أَضْرِبَهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ فِي الْمَلَائِكَةِ

And when the Prophetsaww saw that (Aliasws) was exhausted due to the frequency of the fighting, hesaww raised hissaww head towards the sky and he wept and said: ‘O Lordazwj! Youazwj Promised mesaww that Youazwj would be Making Yourazwj Religion to prevail, and if Youazwj so Desire, it would not Tire Youazwj’. Aliasws turned towards the Prophetsaww and said: ‘O Rasool Allahsaww! Iasws heard a loud rumble and heard the galloping of Hayzoum (Horse of Jibraeel), and Iasws did not attack to strike anyone except that he would fall dead before Iasws struck him. So hesaww said: ‘This was Jibraeel and Mikaeel, and Israfeel among the Angels’.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَوَقَفَ إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ لَهِيَ الْمُوَاسَاةُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ أَنَا مِنْكُمَا ثُمَّ انْهَزَمَ النَّاسُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) يَا عَلِيُّ امْضِ بِسَيْفِكَ حَتَّى تُعَارِضَهُمْ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبُوا الْقِلَاصَ وَ جَنَبُوا الْخَيْلَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ مَكَّةَ وَ إِنْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قَدْ رَكِبُوا الْخَيْلَ وَ هُمْ يَجْنُبُونَ الْقِلَاصَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يُرِيدُونَ الْمَدِينَةَ

Then Jibraeelas went and paused to the side of the Rasool Allahsaww. He said: ‘O Muhammadsaww, this is the comfort’. So hesaww said: ‘Aliasws is from measws, and Isaww am from himasws’. So Jibraeel said: ‘And I am from both of youasws. Then the people (enemy) were defeated. So the Rasool Allahsaww said to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! Go with yourasws sword until you are opposite to them. If youasws see them riding the camels and the horses are by their side, then they are intending to go to Makkah. And if youasws see them to be riding the horses and their camels are by their sides, so they are intending to go to Al-Medina.

فَأَتَاهُمْ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) فَكَانُوا عَلَى الْقِلَاصِ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) يَا عَلِيُّ مَا تُرِيدُ هُوَ ذَا نَحْنُ ذَاهِبُونَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَانْصَرِفْ إِلَى صَاحِبِكَ فَأَتْبَعَهُمْ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام)  فَكُلَّمَا سَمِعُوا وَقْعَ حَافِرِ فَرَسِهِ جَدُّوا فِي السَّيْرِ وَ كَانَ يَتْلُوهُمْ فَإِذَا ارْتَحَلُوا قَالُوا هُوَ ذَا عَسْكَرُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ فَدَخَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ مَكَّةَ فَأَخْبَرَهُمُ الْخَبَرَ وَ جَاءَ الرُّعَاةُ وَ الْحَطَّابُونَ فَدَخَلُوا مَكَّةَ فَقَالُوا رَأَيْنَا عَسْكَرَ مُحَمَّدٍ كُلَّمَا رَحَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ نَزَلُوا يَقْدُمُهُمْ فَارِسٌ عَلَى فَرَسٍ أَشْقَرَ يَطْلُبُ آثَارَهُمْ فَأَقْبَلَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ عَلَى أَبِي سُفْيَانَ يُوَبِّخُونَهُ

Aliasws came up to them, and they were upon their camels, so Abu Sufyan said to Aliasws, ‘O Aliasws! What do youasws want. That is where we are going, to Makkah. So leave and go to yourasws companionsaww’. Jibraeel followed them, and when they heard the galloping of his horse, they strived to move faster, and he kept following them. So when they moved, they said, ‘It is the army of Muhammadsaww which is coming’. Abu Sufyan entered Makkah and informed them of the news. The shepherds and the woodcutters came. So they entered Makkah. They said, ‘We saw the army of Muhammadsaww!’ All of them left. Abu Sufyan descended at Makkah and followed their footsteps horse to the horse. The people of Makkah came and addressed Abu Sufyan and reproached him.

وَ رَحَلَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ الرَّايَةُ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ أَشْرَفَ بِالرَّايَةِ مِنَ الْعَقَبَةِ وَ رَآهُ النَّاسُ نَادَى عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ لَمْ يَمُتْ وَ لَمْ يُقْتَلْ فَقَالَ صَاحِبُ الْكَلَامِ الَّذِي قَالَ الْآنَ يَسْخَرُ بِنَا وَ قَدْ هُزِمْنَا هَذَا عَلِيٌّ وَ الرَّايَةُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى هَجَمَ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي أَفْنِيَتِهِمْ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ دُورِهِمْ وَ خَرَجَ الرِّجَالُ إِلَيْهِ يَلُوذُونَ بِهِ وَ يَثُوبُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَ النِّسَاءُ نِسَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ قَدْ خَدَشْنَ الْوُجُوهَ وَ نَشَرْنَ الشُّعُورَ وَ جَزَزْنَ النَّوَاصِيَ وَ خَرَقْنَ الْجُيُوبَ وَ حَزَمْنَ الْبُطُونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ قَالَ لَهُنَّ خَيْراً وَ أَمَرَهُنَّ أَنْ يَسْتَتِرْنَ وَ يَدْخُلْنَ مَنَازِلَهُنَّ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يُظْهِرَ دِينَهُ عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى أَعْقابِكُمْ وَ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبْ عَلى عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً الْآيَةَ.

And the Prophetsaww moved and the flag was with Aliasws and heasws was in front of himsaww. So when heasws came up with the flag while moving in front and when they reached ‘Al-Uqba’, and the people saw himasws, Aliasws called out: ‘O you people! This is Muhammadsaww. Hesaww never died and hesaww was never killed!’ So the one who had said, ‘Hesaww is mocking us and we have been defeated’ (Abu Bakr or Umar)’, said, ‘This is Aliasws and flag is in hisasws hands’, until the Prophetsaww moved towards them, and the women of the Helpers were in their courtyards and on the doorways of their houses, and the men came out to himsaww returning from their flight and escape. The women of the Helpers had scratched their faces, and spread their hair, and placed dust upon their foreheads, and had torn the sides of their dresses, and tied their abdomens for (the grief for) Prophetsaww. So when hesaww saw them, hesaww said good things for them and told them to cover themselves up and enter their respective houses. And hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Promised mesaww that Heazwj would Make Hisazwj Religion to prevail over all the Religions’. And Allahazwj Revealed unto Muhammadsaww: “[3:144] Muhammad is but a messenger, messengers (the like of whom) have passed away before him; if then he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And whoever turns back upon his heels, he will by no means do harm to Allah in the least”, the Verse.

14951- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي غَزْوَةِ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ خَرَجَ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي أَحْرَمَ فِيهِ أَحْرَمُوا وَ لَبِسُوا السِّلَاحَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَدْ أَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ خَالِدَ بْنَ الْوَلِيدِ لِيَرُدَّهُ قَالَ ابْغُونِي رَجُلًا يَأْخُذُنِي عَلَى غَيْرِ هَذَا الطَّرِيقِ فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ أَوْ مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَلَمْ يُوَافِقْهُ

H 14951 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, and someone else, from Muawiya Bin Ammaar, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘When the Messengersaww of Allahazwj went out in a military expedition of Al-Hudaybiyya, it was the Month of Zil-al-Qadaha. So when hesaww ended up at the place in which Ihram had to be worn, they did so and wore their weapons as well. So when it (news) reached the ‘الْمُشْرِكِينَ’ (Polytheists), they sent to himsaww Khalid Bin Waleed to turn himsaww back. Hesaww said; ‘Bring me a man who can take mesaww via a different road to this one. So they came with a man from Muzaynat or from Juhaynat. Hesaww asked him, but he did not agree.

فَقَالَ ابْغُونِي رَجُلًا غَيْرَهُ فَأُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ إِمَّا مِنْ مُزَيْنَةَ وَ إِمَّا مِنْ جُهَيْنَةَ قَالَ فَذَكَرَ لَهُ فَأَخَذَهُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْعَقَبَةِ فَقَالَ مَنْ يَصْعَدْهَا حَطَّ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَمَا حَطَّ اللَّهُ عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ادْخُلُوا الْبابَ سُجَّداً... نَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ خَطاياكُمْ قَالَ فَابْتَدَرَهَا خَيْلُ الْأَنْصَارِ الْأَوْسِ وَ الْخَزْرَجِ قَالَ وَ كَانُوا أَلْفاً وَ ثَمَانَمِائَةٍ فَلَمَّا هَبَطُوا إِلَى الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ إِذَا امْرَأَةٌ مَعَهَا ابْنُهَا عَلَى الْقَلِيبِ فَسَعَى ابْنُهَا هَارِباً فَلَمَّا أَثْبَتَتْ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) صَرَخَتْ بِهِ هَؤُلَاءِ الصَّابِئُونَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهُمْ بَأْسٌ

So hesaww said; ‘Bring to mesaww a man other than him’. So they came with another man from Muzaynat, or from Juhaynat. He said, ‘I remember it. So he took them with him until they ended up at Al-Uqba. So hesaww said: ‘The one who climbs it, Allahazwj would Forgive him just as Heazwj Forgave the Children of Israel, so Heazwj Said: “[7:161] and enter the gate making obeisance, We will forgive you your wrongs”. The cavalry of the Helpers, Al-Aws, and Al-Khazraj initiated the advance, and they were one thousand eight hundred of them. So when they descended to Al-Hudaybiyya, there was a woman who had her son with her at Al-Quleyb. So her son ran away. So when she established that it was the Rasool Allahsaww, she screamed, ‘These are Al-Sa’ibun, there is no problem to you from them’.

فَأَتَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَمَرَهَا فَاسْتَقَتْ دَلْواً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَشَرِبَ وَ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ فَأَخَذَتْ فَضْلَتَهُ فَأَعَادَتْهُ فِي الْبِئْرِ فَلَمْ تَبْرَحْ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ وَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُشْرِكُونَ أَبَانَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ فِي الْخَيْلِ فَكَانَ بِإِزَائِهِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوا الْحُلَيْسَ فَرَأَى الْبُدْنَ وَ هِيَ تَأْكُلُ بَعْضُهَا أَوْبَارَ بَعْضٍ فَرَجَعَ وَ لَمْ يَأْتِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ قَالَ لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى هَذَا حَالَفْنَاكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ تَرُدُّوا الْهَدْيَ عَنْ مَحِلِّهِ فَقَالَ اسْكُتْ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَتُخَلِّيَنَّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَا أَرَادَ أَوْ لَأَنْفَرِدَنَّ فِي الْأَحَابِيشِ فَقَالَ اسْكُتْ حَتَّى نَأْخُذَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَلْثاً

The Rasool Allahsaww came up to her and commanded her to draw a bucket of water. The Rasool Allahsaww took it. Hesaww drank, and washed hissaww face. She took its remaining bit and returned it back in the well. That well still has water until this time. And the Rasool Allahsaww came out, and the Polytheists sent to himsaww Aban Bin Saeed with some horsemen in front of them. Then they sent Al-Hulays, so he saw the animals being prepared for sacrifice. He returned and did not come to the Rasool Allahsaww, and said to Abu Sufyan: ‘ By Allahazwj, it was not this that we agreed upon, to return the sacrifices from its place’. He said, ‘Be quiet! For you are only a Bedouin’. He said, ‘But, by Allahazwj, stay away from Muhammadsaww and what hesaww wants, or else I shall revolt among Al-Ahabeysh’. He said, ‘Keep quiet until we take an agreement from Muhammadsaww’.

فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ وَ قَدْ كَانَ جَاءَ إِلَى قُرَيْشٍ فِي الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ أَصَابَهُمُ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ كَانَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ وَ كَانُوا تُجَّاراً فَقَتَلَهُمْ وَ جَاءَ بِأَمْوَالِهِمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا وَ قَالَ هَذَا غَدْرٌ وَ لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهِ فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَدْ أَتَاكُمْ وَ هُوَ يُعَظِّمُ الْبُدْنَ قَالَ فَأَقِيمُوهَا فَأَقَامُوهَا فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَجِي‏ءَ مَنْ جِئْتَ قَالَ جِئْتُ أَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ أَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ أَنْحَرُ هَذِهِ الْإِبِلَ وَ أُخَلِّي عَنْكُمْ عَنْ لُحْمَانِهَا

So they sent to himsaww Urwat Bin Masoud and he had gone to the Qureysh regarding the people whom Al-Mugheira Bin Soh’ba had killed when they had gone with him from Al-Taef, and they used to be businessmen. So he (al-Mughirah) killed them and had come with their wealth to the Rasool Allahsaww. So the Rasool Allahsaww had refused to accept it and said; ‘This is treachery, and wesaww have no need with regards to it’. They sent him so he said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, this is Urwat Bin Masoud who has come to you, and he magnifies the sacrifices’. Hesaww said: ‘Make him stand here’. They brought him to stand. He said, ‘O Muhammadsaww, why have yousaww come?’ Hesaww said: ‘Isaww have come to circumambulate (Tawaaf) the House, and perform Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, and sacrifice this camel and leave its meat for you’.

قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى فَمَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَكَ رُدَّ عَمَّا جِئْتَ لَهُ إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يُذَكِّرُونَكَ اللَّهَ وَ الرَّحِمَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِلَادَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمْ وَ أَنْ تَقْطَعَ أَرْحَامَهُمْ وَ أَنْ تُجَرِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلٍ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا قَالَ وَ كَانَ عُرْوَةُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حِينَ كَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) تَنَاوَلَ لِحْيَتَهُ وَ الْمُغِيرَةُ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِيكَ الْمُغِيرَةُ فَقَالَ يَا غُدَرُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا جِئْتَ إِلَّا فِي غَسْلِ سَلْحَتِكَ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِثْلَ مُحَمَّدٍ رُدَّ عَمَّا جَاءَ لَهُ

He said, ‘No, I swear by al-laat and al-uzza[33], a person like yousaww should not be sent back from what he has come for. If yoursaww people bind yousaww to Allahazwj and the mercy, to enter their city without their permission, and cut-off their relationships, and make enemies to go against them’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww will not do it until Isaww enter the city’. And when Urwat Bin Masoud was speaking with the Rasool Allahsaww, he was holding his beard, and Al-Mugheira was standing near to his head. So he hit him by his hand and said, ‘Who is this, O Muhammadsaww! So hesaww said: ‘This is the son of your brother, Al-Mugheira’. He said, ‘O treachery! By Allahazwj, I did not come here except for the reconciliation with yousaww’. So he returned to them and said to Abu Sufyan and his companions, ‘No, by Allahazwj, a person like Muhammadsaww should not be turned back from what he has come for’.

فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَيْهِ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو وَ حُوَيْطِبَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأُثِيرَتْ فِي وُجُوهِهِمُ الْبُدْنُ فَقَالَا مَجِي‏ءَ مَنْ جِئْتَ قَالَ جِئْتُ لِأَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ أَسْعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ أَنْحَرَ الْبُدْنَ وَ أُخَلِّيَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ لُحْمَانِهَا فَقَالَا إِنَّ قَوْمَكَ يُنَاشِدُونَكَ اللَّهَ وَ الرَّحِمَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِلَادَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِمْ وَ تَقْطَعَ أَرْحَامَهُمْ وَ تُجَرِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوَّهُمْ قَالَ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَّا أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَرَادَ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَشِيرَتِي قَلِيلٌ وَ إِنِّي فِيهِمْ عَلَى مَا تَعْلَمُ وَ لَكِنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ

So they sent to himsaww Suhail Bin Amro and Huweytab Bin Abdul Uzza. So the Rasool Allahsaww commanded for the sacrificial animals to be spread out in front of their eyes. He said, ‘Why have yousaww come here?’ Hesaww said: ‘For circumambulation of the House, and the Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, and sacrifice the animals and leave their meat between you’. If yoursaww people bind yousaww to Allahazwj and the mercy from entering their city without their permission, and cut-off their relationships, and make their enemies to go against them’. Heasws said; ‘The Rasool Allahsaww refused the two of them, except that hesaww would enter it. And the Rasool Allahsaww had intended to send Umar to them. So he said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, my relatives are few, and I am among them of the status that yousaww know about (a humiliating one). Yousaww should send Usman Bin Affan’. 

فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى قَوْمِكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِمَا وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي مِنْ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ فَلَمَّا انْطَلَقَ عُثْمَانُ لَقِيَ أَبَانَ بْنَ سَعِيدٍ فَتَأَخَّرَ عَنِ السَّرْحِ فَحَمَلَ عُثْمَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَعْلَمَهُمْ وَ كَانَتِ الْمُنَاوَشَةُ فَجَلَسَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ جَلَسَ عُثْمَانُ فِي عَسْكَرِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ بَايَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ ضَرَبَ بِإِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى لِعُثْمَانَ وَ قَالَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ طُوبَى لِعُثْمَانَ قَدْ طَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ سَعَى بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ وَ أَحَلَّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا كَانَ لِيَفْعَلَ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ عُثْمَانُ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَ طُفْتَ بِالْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَطُوفَ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمْ يَطُفْ بِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ وَ مَا كَانَ فِيهَا

So the Rasool Allahsaww sent for him and said, ‘Go to your people from the Believers. Give them the good news of what mysaww Lordazwj has Promised mesaww of the victory over Makkah’. So when Usman went, he met Aban Bin Saeed. So he delayed the camel and made room for Usman to ride with him. Usman entered (Makkah) and there was a skirmish. So Suhail Bin Amro seated himself in the presence of the Rasool Allahsaww, and Usman sat in the army of the Polytheists. And the Rasool Allahsaww got the Muslims to pledge their allegiances and tap one by his hand upon the other and Muslims said: ‘How good of Usman that he has circumambulated the House and performed Sa’ee between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa and be lawful (out of Ihraam)’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘He did what he had to do’. So when Usman came, the Rasool Allahsaww said to him; ‘Did you circumambulate the House?’ He said, ‘I could not circumambulate the House whilst the Rasool Allahsaww had not circumambulated it’. Then he mentioned the story and what had happened’.

فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) اكْتُبْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ فَقَالَ سُهَيْلٌ مَا أَدْرِي مَا الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ إِلَّا أَنِّي أَظُنُّ هَذَا الَّذِي بِالْيَمَامَةِ وَ لَكِنِ اكْتُبْ كَمَا نَكْتُبُ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهُمَّ قَالَ وَ اكْتُبْ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ سُهَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو فَقَالَ سُهَيْلٌ فَعَلَى مَا نُقَاتِلُكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ اكْتُبْ فَكَتَبَ هَذَا مَا قَاضَى عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

So hesaww said to Aliasws: ‘Write – In the Name of Allahazwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful’. Suhail said, ‘I don’t know what the Beneficent, the Merciful is except that I think this is the one at Al-Yamama. But, write as we write – ‘By Yourazwj Name, our Allahazwj’. Hesaww said; ‘And write this – What has been agreed upon by the Rasool Allahsaww and Suhail Bin Amro’. So Suhail said, ‘What are we fighting yousaww for, O Muhammadsaww?’ So hesaww said; ‘Isaww and the Rasool Allahsaww and Isaww am Muhammad bin Abdullahsaww’. So the people said: ‘Yousaww are the Rasool Allahsaww’. He said, ‘Write – Write that this is what has been agreed upon by Muhammad Bin Abdullahsaww’. So the people said: ‘Yousaww are the Rasool Allahsaww’.

وَ كَانَ فِي الْقَضِيَّةِ أَنَّ مَنْ كَانَ مِنَّا أَتَى إِلَيْكُمْ رَدَدْتُمُوهُ إِلَيْنَا وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ غَيْرُ مُسْتَكْرِهٍ عَنْ دِينِهِ وَ مَنْ جَاءَ إِلَيْنَا مِنْكُمْ لَمْ نَرُدَّهُ إِلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَا حَاجَةَ لَنَا فِيهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَنْ يُعْبَدَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمْ عَلَانِيَةً غَيْرَ سِرٍّ وَ إِنْ كَانُوا لَيَتَهَادَوْنَ السُّيُورَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ وَ مَا كَانَتْ قَضِيَّةٌ أَعْظَمُ بَرَكَةً مِنْهَا لَقَدْ كَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَوْلِيَ عَلَى أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ الْإِسْلَامُ فَضَرَبَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَلَى أَبِي جَنْدَلٍ ابْنِهِ فَقَالَ أَوَّلُ مَا قَاضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ هَلْ قَاضَيْتُ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا كُنْتَ بِغَدَّارٍ قَالَ فَذَهَبَ بِأَبِي جَنْدَلٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَدْفَعُنِي إِلَيْهِ قَالَ وَ لَمْ أَشْتَرِطْ لَكَ قَالَ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِأَبِي جَنْدَلٍ مَخْرَجاً.

And what was in the agreement that – ‘The one who was from us, if he were to come to you, shall be returned back to us and the Rasool Allahsaww will not keep him unwillingly from his religion, and the one who comes to us from you will not be returned back to you’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said; ‘There is no need for us regarding them, and they should be allowed to worship Allahazwj among you openly, not in secret, and be allowed to exchange gifts between Al-Medina to Makkah’. And there was not agreement more magnificent in Blessings than it for it made Al-Islam to almost take over the people of Makkah. So Suhail Bin Amro struck his hand upon his son Abu Jandal, so he said, ‘The first of what we have agreed with you’. The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Have Isaww applied the agreement upon anything yet?’ He said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yousaww are not a traitor’. So he went with Abu Jandal’. So he said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, yousaww are handing me over to him?’ Hesaww said: ‘And Isaww did not set any conditions for you’. And said: ‘Our Allahazwj! Make a way out for Abu Jandal!’

H 14952 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abaan, from Al-Fazl Abu Al-Abbas, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj: “[4:90] or who come to you, their hearts shrinking from fighting you or fighting their own people”, heasws said: ‘Revealed with regards to the Clan of Mudlaj because they had come to the Rasool Allahsaww, so they said, ‘There are restrictions in our chests that we should testify that yousaww are the Rasool Allahsaww, for we are neither with yousaww nor are we with our people against yousaww’. So I said, ‘How did the Rasool Allahsaww deal with them?’ Heasws said; ‘Hesaww said that hesaww would leave them until hesaww was free from dealing with the Arabs, then hesaww would call them (to Al-Islam), to see if they answered or else hesaww would fight against them’.

14953- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ وَ هُوَ فَرْقَدٌ عَنْ أَبِي يَزِيدَ الْحَمَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَعَثَ أَرْبَعَةَ أَمْلَاكٍ فِي إِهْلَاكِ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ إِسْرَافِيلَ وَ كَرُوبِيلَ (عليهم السلام) فَمَرُّوا بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ هُمْ مُعْتَمُّونَ فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُمْ وَ رَأَى هَيْئَةً حَسَنَةً فَقَالَ لَا يَخْدُمُ هَؤُلَاءِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَنَا بِنَفْسِي وَ كَانَ صَاحِبَ أَضْيَافٍ فَشَوَى لَهُمْ عِجْلًا سَمِيناً حَتَّى أَنْضَجَهُ ثُمَّ قَرَّبَهُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ رَأى أَيْدِيَهُمْ لا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَ أَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً

H 14953 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Dawood Bin Abu Yazeed and he is Farqad, from Abu Yazeed Al-Hammaar, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘Allahazwj Sent four Angels (to Prophet Ibrahimas) for the destruction of the people of Lutas – Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and Israfeelas, and Karoubeelas and they had obscured their faces. They greeted himas. Heas did not recognise them and saw them as good persons. So heas said (to himselfas), ‘No one shall attend to them except for myself personally’, and heas was a kind host. So he grilled a calf for them until it was well done, then placed it near to them. So when heas placed it in front of them, “[11:70] But when he saw that their hands were not extended towards it, he deemed them strange and conceived fear of them”.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) حَسَرَ الْعِمَامَةَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَعَرَفَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ أَنْتَ هُوَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ مَرَّتِ امْرَأَتُهُ سَارَةُ فَبَشَّرَهَا بِإِسْحَاقَ وَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ إِسْحَاقَ يَعْقُوبَ فَقَالَتْ مَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَجَابُوهَا بِمَا فِي الْكِتَابِ الْعَزِيزِ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) لَهُمْ فِيمَا ذَا جِئْتُمْ قَالُوا لَهُ فِي إِهْلَاكِ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ

So when Jibraeelas saw that, heas removed the turban from hisas face and from hisas head. Ibrahimas recognised himas. Heas said: ‘Youas are heas!’ Heas said: ‘Yes’, and hisas wife passed by and heas gave heras the good news of Is’haqas, and after Is’haqas of Yaqoubas. So sheas said what Allahazwj has Stated, and theyas answered heras with what is in the Mighty Book. So Ibrahimas said to them: ‘What have youas come for?’ Theyas said to himas: ‘For the destruction of the people of Lutas’.

فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُهْلِكُونَهُمْ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) لَا قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا خَمْسِينَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا ثَلَاثِينَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا عِشْرِينَ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا عَشَرَةً قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا خَمْسَةً قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَإِنْ كَانُوا وَاحِداً قَالَ لَا قالَ إِنَّ فِيها لُوطاً قالُوا نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ فِيها لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُ وَ أَهْلَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ كانَتْ مِنَ الْغابِرِينَ ثُمَّ مَضَوْا

So heas said to themas: ‘Suppose there were a hundred Believers among them, would youas destroy them?’ Jibraeelas said: ‘No’. Heas said: ‘If there were fifty?’ Heas said: ‘No’. Heas said, ‘If there were thirty?’ Heas said; No’. Heas said: ‘If there were twenty?’ Heas said: ‘No’. Heas said: ‘if there were ten?’ Heas said; ‘No’. Heas said: ‘If there were five?’ Heas said: ‘No’. Heas said: ‘If there was one?’ Heas said: ‘No’. “[29:32] He said: Surely in it is Lut. They said: We know well who is in it; we shall certainly deliver him and his followers, except his wife; she shall be of those who remain behind”. Then theyas left.

وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ لَا أَعْلَمُ ذَا الْقَوْلَ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَسْتَبْقِيهِمْ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُجادِلُنا فِي قَوْمِ لُوطٍ فَأَتَوْا لُوطاً وَ هُوَ فِي زِرَاعَةٍ لَهُ قُرْبَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ هُمْ مُعْتَمُّونَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ رَأَى هَيْئَةً حَسَنَةً عَلَيْهِمْ عَمَائِمُ بِيضٌ وَ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الْمَنْزِلَ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ فَتَقَدَّمَهُمْ وَ مَشَوْا خَلْفَهُ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى عَرْضِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَنْزِلَ وَ قَالَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ صَنَعْتُ آتِي بِهِمْ قَوْمِي وَ أَنَا أَعْرِفُهُمْ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ شِرَارَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) لَا نَعْجَلُ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ ثَلَاثَ شَهَادَاتٍ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) هَذِهِ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ مَشَى سَاعَةً ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ شِرَارَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) هَذِهِ اثْنَتَانِ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ بَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَأْتُونَ شِرَارَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) هَذِهِ ثَالِثَةٌ

And Al-Hassan Al-Askary Abu Muhammadasws said, and I don’t know whether it is the speech except that it has been preserved: ‘And it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[11:74] he began to plead with Us for Lut's people”. So theyas came to Lutas whilst heas was in hisas farm near the city. So theyas greeted himas whilst theyas had obscured theiras faces. So when heas saw them to be as good persons clad in white turbans and white robes, heas said to themas: ‘Lodging?’ Theyas said: ‘Yes’. So heas led themas and theyas walked behind himas. Heas regretted having offered lodging to themas and said (to himselfas): ‘What shall Ias do when Ias come to myas people and I recognise them?’ So heas turned towards themas and said: ‘Youas have come to evil creatures of Allahazwj’. And Jibraeelas had said: ‘Weas will not make haste against them until heas testifies by three testimonies’. So Jibraeelas said (to himselfas): ‘This is one testimony’. Then theyas walked for a while, then heas turned towards them and said: ‘Youas have come to evil creatures of Allahazwj’. So Jibraeelas said (to himselfas): ‘These are two’. Then theyas went, so when they reached the gate of the city, heas turned towards themas and said; ‘Youas have come to evil creatures of Allahazwj’. So Jibraeelas said (to himselfas): ‘These are three’.

ثُمَّ دَخَلَ وَ دَخَلُوا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُمُ امْرَأَتُهُ رَأَتْ هَيْئَةً حَسَنَةً فَصَعِدَتْ فَوْقَ السَّطْحِ وَ صَعِقَتْ فَلَمْ يَسْمَعُوا فَدَخَّنَتْ فَلَمَّا رَأَوُا الدُّخَانَ أَقْبَلُوا يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَى الْبَابِ فَنَزَلَتْ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَتْ عِنْدَهُ قَوْمٌ مَا رَأَيْتُ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُمْ هَيْئَةً فَجَاءُوا إِلَى الْبَابِ لِيَدْخُلُوهَا فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ لُوطٌ قَامَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا قَوْمِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ لا تُخْزُونِ فِي ضَيْفِي أَ لَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَشِيدٌ فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَدَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْحَلَالِ فَقَالُوا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِي بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَ إِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِيدُ فَقالَ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) لَوْ يَعْلَمُ أَيُّ قُوَّةٍ لَهُ فَكَاثَرُوهُ حَتَّى دَخَلُوا الْبَيْتَ

Then heas entered (the city) and theyas entered with himas. So when hisas wife saw themas of good built she climbed on top of the roof of the house and whistled to the people. So when they did not hear her, she raised smoke. So when they saw the smoke they came rushing to the door. She came down to them and said, ‘Heas has such people with himas that I have not seen such beauty ever better than theirs. They came to the gate, so when Lutas saw them, heas said: ‘O people! Fear Allahazwj and do not harass regarding myas guests. Is there no man with guidance among you? These are myas (community’s) daughters. They are cleaner for you, so call them to the Permissible’. They said, ‘Youas are aware that there is no right for us regarding your daughters, and youas well know what we want’. So heas said; ‘If Ias had strength or support Ias would have resorted to a strong corner’. So Jibraeelas said (to himselfas): ‘If only heas knew how much strength heas had’. So they spoke a lot until theyas entered the house’.

قَالَ فَصَاحَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا لُوطُ دَعْهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا أَهْوَى جَبْرَئِيلُ بِإِصْبَعِهِ نَحْوَهُمْ فَذَهَبَتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ فَطَمَسْنا أَعْيُنَهُمْ ثُمَّ نَادَى جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنَّا بُعِثْنَا فِي إِهْلَاكِهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ عَجِّلْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ أَ لَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ

Heasws said: ‘Jibraeelas shouted: ‘O Lutas! Call them to enter the house’. So when they entered, Jibraeelas pointed by hisas finger around them, so their eyesight was lost and it is Hisazwj Words: “[54:37] but We blinded their eyes”. Then Jibraeelas called out: ‘Weas have been Sent to destroy you all’. So heas said: ‘O Jibraeelas, hurry up’. So heas said: ‘Their Promised time is the morning. Is not the morning yet?’ 

قَالَ فَأَمَرَهُ فَتَحَمَّلَ وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ اقْتَلَعَهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ مِنْ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَهَا حَتَّى سَمِعَ أَهْلُ سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا نُبَاحَ الْكِلَابِ وَ صِيَاحَ الدِّيَكَةِ ثُمَّ قَلَبَهَا وَ أَمْطَرَ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى مَنْ حَوْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ حِجَارَةً مِنْ سِجِّيلٍ.

Heasws said; ‘So he (Jibraeelas) commanded him to carry with him those who were with himas except for hisas wife. Then Jibraeelas, by hisas wings, uprooted from the seventh firmament, then raised it until the inhabitants of the sky heard the barking of the dogs and the crowing of the roosters. Then heas overturned it, and rained upon it and upon the surrounding areas of the city, stones of clay’.

H 14954 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al-Al-Sabbaah Bin Abdul Hameed, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘By Allahazwj, that which Al-Hassan Bin Aliasws did was better for this community from all that upon which the sun rises. By Allahazwj, this Verse had been Revealed: “[4:77] Have you not seen those to whom it was said: Withhold your hands, and keep up prayer and pay the poor-rate, but rather, it is the obedience to the Imamasws, and they sought to fight, but when fighting is prescribed for them alongside Al-Husaynasws they say: Our Lord! why hast Thou ordained fighting for us? Wherefore didst Thou not grant us a delay to a near end?” we would have responded to Yourazwj Call and we would have followed the Messengersas. They intended to delay that to Al-Qaimasws’.

I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the stars (astrology), is it true?’ So heasws said; ‘Yes. Allahazwj Sent Jupiter to the earth in the image of a man. So he took a man from the non-Arabs and taught him the stars (Astrology) until he thought that he understood it. Then he said to him, ‘Look around. Where is the Jupiter?’ So he said, ‘I cannot see it in the sky and I do not know where it is’.

قَالَ فَنَحَّاهُ وَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْهِنْدِ فَعَلَّمَهُ حَتَّى ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَغَ وَ قَالَ انْظُرْ إِلَى الْمُشْتَرِي أَيْنَ هُوَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ حِسَابِي لَيَدُلُّ عَلَى أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْمُشْتَرِي قَالَ وَ شَهَقَ شَهْقَةً فَمَاتَ وَ وَرِثَ عِلْمَهُ أَهْلُهُ فَالْعِلْمُ هُنَاكَ.

Heasws said; ‘He left him and grabbed the hand of a man from India. So he taught him until he thought he had understood it, and said, ‘Look at Jupiter, where is it?’ So he said, ‘My calculation evidences to me that you are the Jupiter’. Heasws said: ‘He gasped a cry and died, and his people inherited his knowledge, so the knowledge is over there (in India)’.

I went with the letters of Abdul Salaam Bin Naeem, and Sudeyr, and a letter of someone else to Abu Abdullahasws, When Al-Musawwadat makes his appearance, before the appearance of the sons of Al-Abbas, we have estimated that this Command would come to youasws, so what do youasws see?’ ‘Heasws threw the letters on the ground, and then said: ‘Uff!

So Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, a third of your debt is upon measws’, then heasws was quiet and they remained quiet. So Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘Upon measws is all of your debt’.

H 14966 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Sallar Abu Umrat, from Abu Maryam Al-Saqafy, from Ammar Bin Yasser who said:

Whilst I was in the presence of the Rasool Allahsaww, when the Rasool Allahsaww said that: ‘The Shites,the special ones, the sincere ones are from usasws the Peopleasws of the Household’. So Umar said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, introduce them until we recognise them’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww am not saying to you except that Isaww want to inform you’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله)  أَنَا الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عَلِيٌّ نَصْرُ الدِّينِ وَ مَنَارُهُ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَ هُمُ الْمَصَابِيحُ الَّذِينَ يُسْتَضَاءُ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ قَلْبُهُ مُوَافِقاً لِهَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا وُضِعَ الْقَلْبُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ إِلَّا لِيُوَافِقَ أَوْ لِيُخَالِفَ فَمَنْ كَانَ قَلْبُهُ مُوَافِقاً لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ كَانَ نَاجِياً وَ مَنْ كَانَ قَلْبُهُ مُخَالِفاً لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ كَانَ هَالِكاً.

Then the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww am the Guide to Allahazwj and Aliasws is the support of the Religion, and its beacons are the Peopleasws of the Household, and theyasws are the Lights of the Religion by whomasws it is illuminated’. So Umar said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, so the one whose heart is not compatible with this?’ So the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The heart has not been placed in that place except that it is either compatible with it or it is opposed to it. So the one whose heart is compatible with usasws the Peopleasws of the Household, would be the saved one, and the one whose heart was opposed to usasws the Peopleasws of the Household, would be destroyed’.

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘You have antagonised your fathers, and your sons, and your wives with regards to usasws, and your Reward is upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. But rather, it would be most needed when you are in a state when your souls reach to here’ – and heasws gestured by hisasws hand to hisasws throat’.

H 14968 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Dawood Bin Suleyman Al-Hammaar, from Saeed Bin Yasaar who said:

We sought permission to see Abu Abdullahasws, I, and Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira Al-Nasry, and Mansour Al-Sayaqal. So we agreed to meet at the house of Tahir, hisasws slave. So we Prayed Al-Asr, then we went to himasws. We found himasws leaning against a bed near to the ground. So we seated ourselves around himasws. Then heasws sat upright and stretched hisasws legs until heasws placed hisasws feet upon the ground, then said: ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj Who Made the people to go to the right and left as a Murjiite sect, and a Khwarijite sect, and a Qadiriyya sect, and you have been named as the Turabiyya’. Then said to the one seated on hisasws right: ‘And Allahazwj, there is no god except for Himazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and the Progenyasws of Hisazwj Messengersaww and theirasws Shites, may Allahazwj honour their faces, and he who was not upon that was not upon anything. By Allahazwj, Aliasws was higher to the people than their own selves after the Rasool Allahsaww’. Heasws said it thrice’.

14969- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ النَّخَعِيِّ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ فِي سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا لَيَطَّلِعُونَ عَلَى الْوَاحِدِ وَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَ الثَّلَاثَةِ وَ هُمْ يَذْكُرُونَ فَضْلَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) فَيَقُولُونَ أَ مَا تَرَوْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي قِلَّتِهِمْ وَ كَثْرَةِ عَدُوِّهِمْ يَصِفُونَ فَضْلَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) فَتَقُولُ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ذلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ.

H 14969 – From him, from Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Mustawarad Al-Nakha’ie, from the one who reported it:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘From the Angels who are in the sky of the world, they come to one, and two, and three when they are mentioning the virtues of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, so they say: ‘But did you see those in their scarcity (of numbers) and the abundance of their enemies, describing the virtues of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww?’ So the other group of Angels say: “[62:4] That is Allah's grace; He grants it to whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace”.

H 14970 – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Umar Bin Hanzala, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘O Umar, do not place a burden upon ourasws Shites, and be kind to them, for the people cannot bear what you can bear’.

14971- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْقُمِّيُّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَبَّنا أَرِنَا الَّذَيْنِ أَضَلَّانا مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ نَجْعَلْهُما تَحْتَ أَقْدامِنا لِيَكُونا مِنَ الْأَسْفَلِينَ قَالَ هُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ كَانَ فُلَانٌ شَيْطَاناً.

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[41:29] Our Lord! show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and the men that we may trample them under our feet so that they may be of the lowest”, heasws said: ‘Those two (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. Then said: ‘And that one (Umar) was a Satanla’.

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[41:29] Our Lord! show us those who led us astray from among the jinn and the men that we may trample them under our feet so that they may be of the lowest”, heasws said: ‘O Sowrat! Those two (Abu Bakr and Umar), by Allahazwj those two (Abu Bakr and Umar) three times over. By Allahazwj, O Sowrat, weasws are the Treasurers of the Knowledge of Allahazwj in the sky and weasws are the Treasurers of the Knowledge of Allahazwj in the earth’.

H 14973 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Suleyman Al-Ja’fary who said:

I heard Abu Al-Hassanasws saying regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[4:108] They seek to hide from men and seek not to hide from Allah. He is with them when by night they hold discourse displeasing unto Him”, heasws said: ‘It means so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and Abu Ubeyda Bin Al-Jarrah’.

H 14974 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, and someone else, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Ibn Azina, from Abdullah Bin Najjashy who said:

I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[4:63] These are they of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; therefore turn aside from them and admonish them, and speak to them effectual words concerning themselves”, Meaning, by Allahazwj, so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar).

وَ ما أَرْسَلْنا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً يَعْنِي وَ اللَّهِ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) مِمَّا صَنَعُوا أَيْ لَوْ جَاءُوكَ بِهَا يَا عَلِيُّ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ مِمَّا صَنَعُوا وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً فَلا وَ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيما شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ بِعَيْنِهِ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ يُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً لِعَلِيٍّ.

“[4:64] And We did not send any messenger but that he should be obeyed by Allah's permission; and had they, when they were unjust to themselves, come to you and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful”, Meaning, by Allahazwj, the Prophetsaww and Aliasws due to what they had done to himasws. Yes, had they come to youasws with it, O Aliasws, and asked forgiveness of Allah and the Messenger had (also) asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-returning (to mercy), Merciful. “[4:65] But no! by your Lord! they do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them”. So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, it is Aliasws who is Meant by it. and then do not find any straightness in their hearts as to what you have decided, upon yoursaww tongue, O Rasool Allahsaww, Meaning by it the Wilayah of Aliasws and submit with entire submission to Aliasws’.

14975- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ رُبَّمَا رَأَيْتُ الرُّؤْيَا فَأُعَبِّرُهَا وَ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى مَا تُعَبَّرُ.

H 14975 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muammar Bin Khallaad who said:

I heard Abu Al-Hassanasws saying: ‘Sometimes Iasws see the dream, so Iasws interpret it, and the dream is upon what you interpret’.

14975 b- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَهْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى مَا تُعَبَّرُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا رَوَى أَنَّ رُؤْيَا الْمَلِكِ كَانَتْ أَضْغَاثَ أَحْلَامٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ امْرَأَةً رَأَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَقْدَمُ زَوْجُكِ وَ يَأْتِي وَ هُوَ صَالِحٌ وَ قَدْ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا غَائِباً فَقَدِمَ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله)

H 14975 b – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from AL-Hassan Bin Jahm who said:

I heard Abu Al-Hassanasws saying: ‘The dream is upon what interpretation you give it’. So I said to himasws that, ‘Some of our companions are reporting that the dream of the king was a confused dream’. So Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘A woman saw a dream during the era of the Rasool Allahsaww that a pillar of her house had broken. So she came to the Rasool Allahsaww and related the dream to himsaww. The Prophetsaww said to her: ‘Your husband will come to you safely’; and her husband had gone away (in a caravan). So he came just as the Prophetsaww said that he would.

ثُمَّ غَابَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا غَيْبَةً أُخْرَى فَرَأَتْ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا يَقْدَمُ زَوْجُكِ وَ يَأْتِي صَالِحاً فَقَدِمَ عَلَى مَا قَالَ ثُمَّ غَابَ زَوْجُهَا ثَالِثَةً فَرَأَتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا أَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَلَقِيَتْ رَجُلًا أَعْسَرَ فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا الرَّجُلُ السَّوْءُ يَمُوتُ زَوْجُكِ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ أَلَّا كَانَ عَبَّرَ لَهَا خَيْراً.

Then he went away from her for another time. She saw in the dream as if a pillar of her house had broken. So she came to the Prophetsaww and related the dream to himsaww. So hesaww said to her: ‘Your husband will come to you safely’. So he came as hesaww had said he would. Then her husband went away for a third time. She saw in her dream that a pillar of her house had broken. She met a left-handed man (a fortune teller), so she related her dream to him. The man said to her, ‘The evil. Your husband is dead’. (As the news of her dead husband) reached the Prophetsaww, so hesaww said: ‘If only he had interpreted it for her in a good way’.

H 14976 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from Jabir Bin Yazeed, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said that the Rasool Allahsaww had said: ‘The dream of the Believer floats in between the sky and the earth over the head of its dreamer until he interprets it for himself, or it is interpreted for him by someone like him. So when it gets interpreted, it comes to the ground. So do not narrate your dreams except to the one who understand’.

H 14977 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Qasim bin Urwat, from Abu Baseer, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said that the Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Do not tell your dream except to a Believer who is free from the envy and the rebellion’.

14978- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ ذُو النَّمِرَةِ وَ كَانَ مِنْ أَقْبَحِ النَّاسِ وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ ذُو النَّمِرَةِ مِنْ قُبْحِهِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ رَكْعَةً فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ صَوْمَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَهُ وَ الْحَجَّ إِذَا اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا وَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ فَسَّرَهَا لَهُ

H 14978 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from a man, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘There was a man during the era of the Rasool Allahsaww called Zu Al-Namrat, and he was from the ugliest of the people and that is why he was named Al-Zu Al-Namrat (Animal face) due to his ugliness. So he came to the Prophetsaww and said, ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, inform me of what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Made to be obligatory upon me’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘Allahazwj has Made it an obligation upon you to Pray seventeen cycles during the day and the night, and Fasts of the Month of Ramadhan when you are of realisation (adult), and the Pilgrimage when you have the (financial) capability for it, and the Zakat’, and detailed these for him.

فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً مَا أَزِيدُ رَبِّي عَلَى مَا فَرَضَ عَلَيَّ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ لِمَ يَا ذَا النَّمِرَةِ فَقَالَ كَمَا خَلَقَنِي قَبِيحاً

So he said, ‘By the One Whoazwj Sent you with the Truth as a Prophetsaww, I shall not increase anything upon what has been Obligated upon me’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said; ‘And why, O Zu Al-Namrat?’ He said, ‘For Heazwj has Created me as ugly’.

قَالَ فَهَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُبَلِّغَ ذَا النَّمِرَةِ عَنْهُ السَّلَامَ وَ تَقُولَ لَهُ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَبُّكَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَ مَا تَرْضَى أَنْ أَحْشُرَكَ عَلَى جَمَالِ جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَا ذَا النَّمِرَةِ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أُبَلِّغَكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَبُّكَ أَ مَا تَرْضَى أَنْ أَحْشُرَكَ عَلَى جَمَالِ جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ ذُو النَّمِرَةِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَضِيتُ يَا رَبِّ فَوَ عِزَّتِكَ لَأَزِيدَنَّكَ حَتَّى تَرْضَى.

Heasws said: ‘So Jibraeelas descended upon the Prophetsaww and said: ‘O Rasool Allahsaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj Commands yousaww that yousaww should convey Greetings to Zu Al-Namrat and say to him: ‘Your Lordazwj, Blessed and High has Said to you: “Would it not make you happy to be resurrected upon the beauty of Jibraeelas on the Day of Judgement?’ So the Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘O Zu Al-Namrat! This here is Jibraeelas Commanding meas that Isaww should convey Greetings to you and that your Lordazwj has said: “Would it not make you happy to be resurrected upon the beauty of Jibraeel?’ So Zu Al-Namrat said, ‘I have thus become happy, O Lordazwj. By Yourazwj Honour, I shall increase (my worship) for Youazwj until Youazwj are Pleased’.

حَدِيثُ الَّذِي أَحْيَاهُ عِيسَى ( عليه السلام )

HADEETH OF THE ONE WHO WAS BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE BY ISAas

14979- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ هَلْ كَانَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ أَحْيَا أَحَداً بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ حَتَّى كَانَ لَهُ أَكْلٌ وَ رِزْقٌ وَ مُدَّةٌ وَ وَلَدٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ لَهُ صَدِيقٌ مُوَاخٍ لَهُ فِي اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ كَانَ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) يَمُرُّ بِهِ وَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ

H 14979 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Jameela, from Aban Bin Taglib, who has reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws was asked, ‘Did Isa Ibn Maryamas revive anyone after his death to the extent that he ate, received sustenance, and had a term, and children?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes. Heas had a friend who heas had established brotherhood with for the Sake of Allahazwj Blessed and High, and Isaas used to pass by him and visit him.

وَ إِنَّ عِيسَى غَابَ عَنْهُ حِيناً ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ لِيُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَخَرَجَتْ إِلَيْهِ أُمُّهُ فَسَأَلَهَا عَنْهُ فَقَالَتْ مَاتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَ فَتُحِبِّينَ أَنْ تَرَاهُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهَا فَإِذَا كَانَ غَداً فَآتِيكِ حَتَّى أُحْيِيَهُ لَكِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى

And that Isaas remained absent from him for a while, then passed by his house to greet him. His mother came out to himas. So heas asked her about him. She said, ‘He died, O Messengeras of Allahazwj’. Heas said: ‘Would you love to see him’. She said, ‘Yes’. Heas said to her: ‘Come to me as tomorrow and Ias shall revive him for you by the Permission of Allahazwj Blessed and High’.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ أَتَاهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا انْطَلِقِي مَعِي إِلَى قَبْرِهِ فَانْطَلَقَا حَتَّى أَتَيَا قَبْرَهُ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) ثُمَّ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَانْفَرَجَ الْقَبْرُ وَ خَرَجَ ابْنُهَا حَيّاً فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَ رَآهَا بَكَيَا فَرَحِمَهُمَا عِيسَى (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى أَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تَبْقَى مَعَ أُمِّكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ بِأَكْلٍ وَ رِزْقٍ وَ مُدَّةٍ أَمْ بِغَيْرِ أَكْلٍ وَ لَا رِزْقٍ وَ لَا مُدَّةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِيسَى (عليه السلام) بِأَكْلٍ وَ رِزْقٍ وَ مُدَّةٍ وَ تُعَمَّرُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَ تَزَوَّجُ وَ يُولَدُ لَكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِذاً قَالَ فَدَفَعَهُ عِيسَى إِلَى أُمِّهِ فَعَاشَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً وَ تَزَوَّجَ وَ وُلِدَ لَهُ.

So when it was the next day, she came over. Heas said to her: ‘Come with meas to his grave’. So they went until they arrived at his grave. Isaas paused at it, and then supplicated to Allahazwj. The grave split apart and her son came out alive. So when his mother saw him, and he saw her, they wept. Isaas sympathised with them. Isaas said to him: ‘Would you like to remain alive with your mother in the world?’ He said, ‘O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj, with eating and sustenance and a term, or without eating and sustenance and a term?’ So Isaas said to him: ‘With eating and sustenance and a term. And you will be living for twenty years and get married and have children’. He said, ‘Yes’. When he said that, Isaas handed him over to his mother. He thus lived for twenty years, and got married, and had children’.

14980- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلَّادٍ وَ غَيْرُهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ يُرِدْ فِيهِ بِإِلْحادٍ بِظُلْمٍ فَقَالَ مَنْ عَبَدَ فِيهِ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَوْ تَوَلَّى فِيهِ غَيْرَ أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ مُلْحِدٌ بِظُلْمٍ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُذِيقَهُ مِنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ.

H 14980 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Walladin, and someone else from our companions, who have reported the following:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[22:25] and whoever shall incline therein to wrong unjustly, We will make him taste of a painful chastisement”, so heasws said: ‘The one who worships other than Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, or befriends other than the Guardiansasws from Allahazwj, so he has inclined to injustice and it is upon Allahazwj Blessed and High to make him taste of a painful chastisement”.

14981- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ سَلَّامِ بْنِ الْمُسْتَنِيرِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلَّا أَنْ يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ حَمْزَةَ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ جَرَتْ فِي الْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ أَجْمَعِينَ.

H 14981 – Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al-Howl, from Sallam Bin Al-Mustaneer, who has reported the following:

Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[22:40] Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah”. Heasws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding the Rasool Allahsaww, and Aliasws, and Hamzaar, and Ja’farar, and it flowed regarding Al-Husaynasws, may Peace be upon all of them’. 

14982- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ ما ذا أُجِبْتُمْ قالُوا لا عِلْمَ لَنا قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلًا يَقُولُ مَا ذَا أُجِبْتُمْ فِي أَوْصِيَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ عَلَى أُمَمِكُمْ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا بِمَا فَعَلُوا مِنْ بَعْدِنَا.

H 14982 – Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Bureyd Al-Kunasy who said:

I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[5:109] On the day when Allah will assemble the messengers, then say: What answer were you given? They shall say: We have no knowledge, surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things”. So heasws said; ‘There is an explanation for this. Heazwj will say: “What response were youas given with regards to youras successorsas whom yousaww left behind among youras communities?’ So theyas will say: ‘We have no knowledge of what they did from after usas’.

حَدِيثُ إِسْلَامِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام )

HADEETH OF ISLAM OF ALIasws

14983- ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) ابْنُ كَمْ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) يَوْمَ أَسْلَمَ فَقَالَ أَ وَ كَانَ كَافِراً قَطُّ إِنَّمَا كَانَ لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) حَيْثُ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَسُولَهُ (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَشْرُ سِنِينَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ كَافِراً وَ لَقَدْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ بِرَسُولِهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ سَبَقَ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ بِثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ

H 14983 – Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Hamza, from Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab who said:

I asked Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, ‘How old was Aliasws on the day heasws became a Muslim?’ So heasws said: ‘What? Was heasws an infidel ever? But rather, when Allahazwj Sent Hisazwj Messengersaww, Aliasws was ten years old, and heasws was never an infidel on that day, and heasws had believed in Allahazwj, and in Hisazwj Messengersaww, and preceded all of the people to the faith by Allahazwj and by Hisazwj Messengersaww and to the Prayer by three years’.

وَ كَانَتْ أَوَّلُ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّاهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ كَذَلِكَ فَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَلَى مَنْ أَسْلَمَ بِمَكَّةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يُصَلِّيهَا بِمَكَّةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يُصَلِّيهَا عَلِيٌّ ( عليه السلام ) مَعَهُ بِمَكَّةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مُدَّةَ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ حَتَّى هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ خَلَّفَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) فِي أُمُورٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقُومُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ

And the first Prayer that heasws Prayed with the Rasool Allahsaww was Al-Zohr (Midday) of two cycles and that is what Allahazwj Blessed and High had Obligated it as upon the one who became a Muslim at Makkah – two cycles, two cycles, and the Rasool Allahsaww had Prayed two cycles at Makkah, and Aliasws had Prayed it with himsaww as two cycles for a period of ten years until the Rasool Allahsaww migrated to Al-Medina, and left Aliasws behind regarding the matters which no one part from himasws could have dealt with.

وَ كَانَ خُرُوجُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ مَكَّةَ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ مِنْ سَنَةِ ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ مِنَ الْمَبْعَثِ وَ قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ لِاثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً خَلَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ مَعَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَنَزَلَ بِقُبَا فَصَلَّى الظُّهْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ الْعَصْرَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ مُقِيماً يَنْتَظِرُ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) يُصَلِّي الْخَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ

And the going out of the Rasool Allahsaww from Makkah was during the first of the Rabbi-ul-Awwal, and that was the day of Thursday on the thirteenth year from the Mab’as (Declaration of Prophet-hood), and journeyed to Al-Medina over twelve nights from the Month of Rabbi Ul-Awwal with the setting of the sun. So hesaww descended at Quba, so hesaww Prayed Al-Zohr two cycles, and Al-Asr two cycles. Then hesaww did not cease to stay there, awaiting Aliasws. Hesaww Prayed five Prayers of two cycles, two cycles.

وَ كَانَ نَازِلًا عَلَى عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَأَقَامَ عِنْدَهُمْ بِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً يَقُولُونَ لَهُ أَ تُقِيمُ عِنْدَنَا فَنَتَّخِذَ لَكَ مَنْزِلًا وَ مَسْجِداً فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنِّي أَنْتَظِرُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ قَدْ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يَلْحَقَنِي وَ لَسْتُ مُسْتَوْطِناً مَنْزِلًا حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ عَلِيٌّ وَ مَا أَسْرَعَهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَدِمَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) وَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي بَيْتِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ فَنَزَلَ مَعَهُ

And hesaww stayed at (the house of) Amro Bin Awf for about ten days. They were saying to himsaww, ‘Stay with us, so we will build for yousaww house and a Masjid’. So hesaww said; ‘No. Isaww am awaiting Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and have ordered himasws to meet mesaww, and will not settle in a house until Aliasws comes, and heasws will not be long, Allahazwj Willing. So Aliasws came to the Prophetsaww at the house of Amro Bin Awf and stayed with himsaww.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) تَحَوَّلَ مِنْ قُبَا إِلَى بَنِي سَالِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ وَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) مَعَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَخَطَّ لَهُمْ مَسْجِداً وَ نَصَبَ قِبْلَتَهُ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ فِيهِ الْجُمُعَةَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ خَطَبَ خُطْبَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَاحَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ قَدِمَ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) مَعَهُ لَا يُفَارِقُهُ يَمْشِي بِمَشْيِهِ وَ لَيْسَ يَمُرُّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِبَطْنٍ مِنْ بُطُونِ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا قَامُوا إِلَيْهِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ خَلُّوا سَبِيلَ النَّاقَةِ فَإِنَّهَا مَأْمُورَةٌ

Then the Rasool Allahsaww, when Aliasws arrived to himsaww, transferred from Quba to the Clan of Saalim Bin Awf, and Aliasws was with himsaww, on the Day of Friday at sunrise. So they drew a boundary for himsaww for a Masjid, and established its Qiblah (direction of Prayer). Hesaww Prayed with them the Friday Prayer of two cycles, and preached them two sermons. Then hesaww went to Al-Medina upon the she-camel which hesaww had come upon, and Aliasws was with himsaww, not separating from himsaww, walking with himsaww step by step. And there was no neighbourhood from the neighbourhoods of the Helpers which Rasool Allahsaww passed by except that they stood up for himsaww asking himsaww to descend to them. Hesaww would say to them; ‘Make way for the she-camel for it is under instructions (of where to go).

فَانْطَلَقَتْ بِهِ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَاضِعٌ لَهَا زِمَامَهَا حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي تَرَى وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى بَابِ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الَّذِي يُصَلَّى عِنْدَهُ بِالْجَنَائِزِ فَوَقَفَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَ بَرَكَتْ وَ وَضَعَتْ جِرَانَهَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ مُبَادِراً حَتَّى احْتَمَلَ رَحْلَهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ مَنْزِلَهُ وَ نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) مَعَهُ حَتَّى بُنِيَ لَهُ مَسْجِدُهُ بُنِيَتْ لَهُ مَسَاكِنُهُ وَ مَنْزِلُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَتَحَوَّلَا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمَا

So it went and the Rasool Allahsaww had freed its reins until it ended up at the place which you see’, and heasws gestured by hisasws hands to the door of the Masjid of the Rasool Allahsaww by which the funeral Prayers are performed. Heasws said: ‘So it paused at it and knelt, and placed itself upon the ground. So the Rasool Allahsaww descended, and Abu Ayub welcomed himsaww to the extent that he carried hissaww saddle bag and made himsaww to enter his house. And the Rasool Allahsaww and Aliasws stayed with him until they built for himsaww, hissaww Masjid, and built for himsaww hissaww house, and a house for Aliasws. So they two of themasws transferred to theirasws houses’.

فَقَالَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ الْمُسَيَّبِ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) حِينَ أَقْبَلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَيْنَ فَارَقَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَى قُبَا فَنَزَلَ بِهِمْ يَنْتَظِرُ قُدُومَ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ انْهَضْ بِنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ فَرِحُوا بِقُدُومِكَ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَرِيثُونَ إِقْبَالَكَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَانْطَلِقْ بِنَا وَ لَا تَقُمْ هَاهُنَا تَنْتَظِرُ عَلِيّاً فَمَا أَظُنُّهُ يَقْدَمُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَى شَهْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) كَلَّا مَا أَسْرَعَهُ وَ لَسْتُ أَرِيمُ حَتَّى يَقْدَمَ ابْنُ عَمِّي وَ أَخِي فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَحَبُّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي إِلَيَّ فَقَدْ وَقَانِي بِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

So Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab (the narrator) said to Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, Abu Bakr was with the Rasool Allahsaww when hesaww arrived at Al-Medina. So when did he separate from himsaww?’ So heasws said: ‘Abu Bakr was with himsaww when the Rasool Allahsaww proceeded to Quba, and hesaww decided to wait for Aliasws. So Abu Bakr said to himsaww, ‘Come with us to Al-Medina, for the people would rejoice at yoursaww arrival there and are eager to welcome yousaww. So come with us and do not stay over here waiting for Aliasws, from what I can see, it would take himasws a month to come to youasws’. So the Rasool Allahsaww said to him: ‘Never! Heasws will not be long, and Isaww will not move until mysaww cousinasws, and mysaww brotherasws for the sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and the most beloved to mesaww of mysaww Family comes over, for heasws saved mesaww from the Polytheists by being in mysaww place’.

قَالَ فَغَضِبَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ اشْمَأَزَّ وَ دَاخَلَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ حَسَدٌ لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلَ عَدَاوَةٍ بَدَتْ مِنْهُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) وَ أَوَّلَ خِلَافٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ تَخَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِقُبَا يَنْتَظِرُ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام)

Heasws said; ‘So Abu Bakr was angry and was disgusted by it, and envy for Aliasws entered into him due to that, and that was the first enmity initiated from him to the Rasool Allahsaww with regards to Aliasws, and the first of his opposition to the Rasool Allahsaww. So he went until he entered Al-Medina, and left behind the Rasool Allahsaww at Quba waiting for Aliasws’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) فَمَتَى زَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ بَعْدَ الْهِجْرَةِ بِسَنَةٍ وَ كَانَ لَهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ تِسْعُ سِنِينَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مِنْ خَدِيجَةَ (عليها السلام) عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) وَ قَدْ كَانَتْ خَدِيجَةُ مَاتَتْ قَبْلَ الْهِجْرَةِ بِسَنَةٍ وَ مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ خَدِيجَةَ بِسَنَةٍ

(The narrator) said, ‘I said to Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, ‘So when did the Messengersaww get Fatimaasws married to Aliasws?’ Heasws said: ‘At Al-Medina, a year after the Migration, and she was in herasws ninth year’. Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘And there was no birth to the Rasool Allahsaww from Khadijaas upon the nature of Al-Islam except for Fatimaasws, and Khadijaas had passed away a year before the Migration, and Abu Talibas had passed away a year after heras passing away.

فَلَمَّا فَقَدَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) سَئِمَ الْمُقَامَ بِمَكَّةَ وَ دَخَلَهُ حُزْنٌ شَدِيدٌ وَ أَشْفَقَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ مِنْ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ فَشَكَا إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ (عليه السلام) ذَلِكَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ اخْرُجْ مِنَ الْقَرْيَةِ الظَّالِمِ أَهْلُهَا وَ هَاجِرْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ الْيَوْمَ بِمَكَّةَ نَاصِرٌ وَ انْصِبْ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ حَرْباً فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ

So when the two of themas passed away, the Rasool Allahsaww got tired of staying at Makkah, and was overcome by intense grief and sympathised with himselfsaww from the infidels of Qureysh. Hesaww informed Jibraeelas about that, so Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: “Go out from the town where (its) people are unjust and Migrate to Al-Medina, for today there is no helper for yousaww at Makkah, and establish a war against the Polytheists”. So the Rasool Allahsaww heeded that and directed himselfsaww to Al-Medina’.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَمَتَى فُرِضَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى مَا هُمْ عَلَيْهِ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ ظَهَرَتِ الدَّعْوَةُ وَ قَوِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ الْجِهَادَ وَ زَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي الصَّلَاةِ سَبْعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي الظُّهْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ فِي الْعَصْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ رَكْعَةً وَ فِي الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ أَقَرَّ الْفَجْرَ عَلَى مَا فُرِضَتْ لِتَعْجِيلِ نُزُولِ مَلَائِكَةِ النَّهَارِ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ لِتَعْجِيلِ عُرُوجِ مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ كَانَ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ وَ مَلَائِكَةُ النَّهَارِ يَشْهَدُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ فَلِذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ إِنَّ قُرْآنَ الْفَجْرِ كانَ مَشْهُوداً يَشْهَدُهُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ يَشْهَدُهُ مَلَائِكَةُ النَّهَارِ وَ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّيْلِ.

So I (the narrator) said to himasws, ‘So when was the Salat became Obligatory upon the Muslims in the form that they are Praying today?’ Heasws said: ‘At Al-Medina when the Call was made apparent, and Al-Islam was strong, and Allahazwj Decreed Al-Jihaad upon the Muslims, and the Rasool Allahsaww increased in the Prayer, seven cycles – two cycles in Al-Zohr, and two cycles in Al-Asr, and one cycle in Al-Maghrib, and two cycles in Al-Isha, and accepted Al-Fajr upon what it had been Obligated in order to expedite the descent of the Angels of the day from the sky and to expedite that rising of the Angels of the night to the sky. And the Angels of the night and the Angels of the day had been testifying with the Rasool Allahsaww for Al-Fajr Prayer, so that is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[17:78] (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur'an at dawn is witnessed”, witnessed by the Muslims and witnessed by the Angels of the day and Angels of the night’.

H 14984 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘How easy it is to make the people to be happy with you. Just restrain your tongues from (speaking against) them’.

H 14985 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, together from Ali Bin hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraaj, from Zurara who said:

Abu Ja’farasws was in the Sacred Masjid. So there was a mention of the Clan of Umayya and their government. Some of hisasws companions said to himasws, ‘We hope that youasws will become their master and that Allahazwj will Display this Command upon yourasws hands’. So heasws said: ‘Iasws am not their master, nor am Iasws happy to be their master, for their companions are the sons of adultery. Allahazwj never Created, since the creation of the Heavens and the earth, years nor days shorter than their years and their days. Allahazwj Ordered the Angels in who hands is the orbit, to rotate it like a scroll’.

14986- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ وُلْدُ الْمِرْدَاسِ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ مِنْهُمْ أَكْفَرُوهُ وَ مَنْ تَبَاعَدَ مِنْهُمْ أَفْقَرُوهُ وَ مَنْ نَاوَاهُمْ قَتَلُوهُ وَ مَنْ تَحَصَّنَ مِنْهُمْ أَنْزَلُوهُ وَ مَنْ هَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ أَدْرَكُوهُ حَتَّى تَنْقَضِيَ دَوْلَتُهُمْ.

H 14986 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammaad Bin Usman, who has reported:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The sons of Al-Mardaas (Al-Abbas) – the one who associates with them, they turn him to be an unbeliever, and the one who distances himself from them, they impoverish him, and the one antagonises them, they kill him, and the one who fortifies himself from them they lower him, and the one flees from them, they are wary of him, until their government comes to an end’.

H 14987 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Amro Bin Ayman together from Muhassan Bin Ahmad Bin Muaz, from Aban Bin Usman, from Basheer Al-Nabaal, who has reported:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Once when the Rasool Allahsaww was sitting a woman came, and held her hand and helped her to sit down. And then said, ‘ She is a daughter of a Prophetas whose people had neglected himas. Khalid Bin Sinan called them, but they refused to believe.

وَ كَانَتْ نَارٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا نَارُ الْحَدَثَانِ تَأْتِيهِمْ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ فَتَأْكُلُ بَعْضَهُمْ وَ كَانَتْ تَخْرُجُ فِي وَقْتٍ مَعْلُومٍ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنْ رَدَدْتُهَا عَنْكُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَجَاءَتْ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهَا بِثَوْبِهِ فَرَدَّهَا ثُمَّ تَبِعَهَا حَتَّى دَخَلَتْ كَهْفَهَا وَ دَخَلَ مَعَهَا وَ جَلَسُوا عَلَى بَابِ الْكَهْفِ وَ هُمْ يَرَوْنَ أَلَّا يَخْرُجَ أَبَداً فَخَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ هَذَا هَذَا وَ كُلُّ هَذَا مِنْ ذَا زَعَمَتْ بَنُو عَبْسٍ أَنِّي لَا أَخْرُجُ وَ جَبِينِي يَنْدَى

There used to be a fire called the fire of Al-Hadsaan which used to engulf them every year. So it used to devour some of them and it used to emerge during a specific time. So he said to them, ‘If I were to turn it back from you, will you believe?’ They said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘So it came, and he met it by his clothes and repulsed it. Then he followed it until it entered its cave, and he entered with it, and the people seated themselves at the entrance of the cave, and they were looking out for him and it looked as if he would never come out of it. He came out and he was saying, ‘This, this, and all this is from that. The son, of Ab’as thought, ‘I will not go out whilst my forehead is perspiring’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِي قَالُوا لَا قَالَ فَإِنِّي مَيِّتٌ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَإِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَادْفِنُونِي فَإِنَّهَا سَتَجِي‏ءُ عَانَةٌ مِنْ حُمُرٍ يَقْدُمُهَا عَيْرٌ أَبْتَرُ حَتَّى يَقِفَ عَلَى قَبْرِي فَانْبُشُونِي وَ سَلُونِي عَمَّا شِئْتُمْ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ دَفَنُوهُ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ إِذْ جَاءَتِ الْعَانَةُ اجْتَمَعُوا وَ جَاءُوا يُرِيدُونَ نَبْشَهُ فَقَالُوا مَا آمَنْتُمْ بِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ فَكَيْفَ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَ لَئِنْ نَبَشْتُمُوهُ لَيَكُونَنَّ سُبَّةً عَلَيْكُمْ فَاتْرُكُوهُ فَتَرَكُوهُ.

Then said, ‘Do you believe in me?’ They said, ‘No’. He said, ‘I will die on such a such a day, so when I am dead, bury me. There will come here donkeys among which will be a donkey with its tail cut off until it stands at my grave. So bring me out of my grave and ask me whatsoever you like’. So when he died, they buried him, and on that day the donkeys came and gathered, and they all came intending to exhume him. They said, ‘You all did not believe in him during his lifetime, so how will you now believe in him after his death? And if you were to exhume him it will be damnation for you, so leave him alone’. So they left him’.

H 14988 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Amro Al-Yamani, from Suleym Bin Qays Al-Hilali who said:

I heard Salman Al-Farsyar saying: ‘When the Rasool Allahsaww passed away, and the people did what they did, and Abu Bakr and Umar, and Abu Ubeyda Bin Al-Jarrah disputed with the Helpers, they disputed with them by the ‘بِحُجَّةِ’ rights of Aliasws. They said, ‘O group of Helpers! Qureysh are more deserving of the Command than you are because the Rasool Allahsaww is from Qureysh and the Emigrant are from them. Allahazwj the High has Begun by them in Hisazwj Book and has Preferred them, and the Rasool Allahsaww has said that the Imamsasws are going to be from Qureysh’.

قَالَ سَلْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ يُغَسِّلُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِمَا صَنَعَ النَّاسُ وَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ السَّاعَةَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ اللَّهِ مَا يَرْضَى أَنْ يُبَايِعُوهُ بِيَدٍ وَاحِدَةٍ إِنَّهُمْ لَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ جَمِيعاً بِيَمِينِهِ وَ شِمَالِهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا سَلْمَانُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ أَوَّلُ مَنْ بَايَعَهُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي إِلَّا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي ظُلَّةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ حِينَ خَصَمَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ بَايَعَهُ بَشِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ وَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ثُمَّ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ سَالِمٌ

Salmanar said. ‘So Iar came to Aliasws and heasws was washing (the body of) the Rasool Allahsaww. I informed him of what the people had done and I said, ‘At this time, Abu Bakr is upon the Pulpit of the Rasool Allahsaww, and by Allahazwj, they are not happy to pledge their allegiances to him with one hand, they are pledging their allegiances by both, their right hands and their left’. So heasws said to me; ‘O Salmanar! Do you know the one who pledged his allegiance to him upon the Pulpit of the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Iar said, ‘Iar do not know except that Iar saw in the shadow of the Clan of Sa’ada where the Helpers were disputing, and the one who was the first to pledged his allegiance to him was Basheer Bin Sa’ad, and Abu Ubeyda Bin Al-Jarrah, then Umar, then Saalim’.

قَالَ لَسْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ هَذَا وَ لَكِنْ تَدْرِي أَوَّلَ مَنْ بَايَعَهُ حِينَ صَعِدَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قُلْتُ لَا وَ لَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً مُتَوَكِّئاً عَلَى عَصَاهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ سَجَّادَةٌ شَدِيدُ التَّشْمِيرِ صَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ أَوَّلَ مَنْ صَعِدَ وَ هُوَ يَبْكِي وَ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يُمِتْنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى رَأَيْتُكَ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ ابْسُطْ يَدَكَ فَبَسَطَ يَدَهُ فَبَايَعَهُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ

Heasws said; ‘Iasws did not ask youar about this, but do youar know the first one who pledged his allegiance when he ascended upon the Pulpit of the Rasool Allahsaww?’ Iar said, ‘No, but Iar saw an old man leaning upon his walking stick, with a mark of prostration between his eyes due to the intensity of Al-Tashmir (prostrations) climb up to him and he was weeping and saying, ‘Praise be to Allahazwj Who did not Cause me to die from the world until I saw you in this place. Extend your hand’. So he extended his hand, and he pledged his allegiance to him. Then he descended and went out from the Masjid’.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ (عليه السلام) هَلْ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُوَ قُلْتُ لَا وَ لَقَدْ سَاءَتْنِي مَقَالَتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ شَامِتٌ بِمَوْتِ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ ذَاكَ إِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَّ إِبْلِيسَ وَ رُؤَسَاءَ أَصْحَابِهِ شَهِدُوا نَصْبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِيَّايَ لِلنَّاسِ بِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنِّي أَوْلَى بِهِمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ

So Aliasws said; ‘Do you know who he was?’ I said, ‘No, but his speech had displeased me, as if he was gloating at the passing away of the Prophetsaww’. So heasws said; ‘That was Ibleesla, may Allahazwj Curse himla. The Rasool Allahsaww informed measws that Ibleesla and the chiefs of hisla companions witnessed the Messengersaww establishing measws to the people at Ghadeer Khumm by the Command of Allahazwj, so hesaww told them that Iasws was higher to them than their own selves and commanded them that those who were present should make it reach to the absentees.

فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَى إِبْلِيسَ أَبَالِسَتُهُ وَ مَرَدَةُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالُوا إِنَّ هَذِهِ أُمَّةٌ مَرْحُومَةٌ وَ مَعْصُومَةٌ وَ مَا لَكَ وَ لَا لَنَا عَلَيْهِمْ سَبِيلٌ قَدْ أُعْلِمُوا إِمَامَهُمْ وَ مَفْزَعَهُمْ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهِمْ فَانْطَلَقَ إِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ كَئِيباً حَزِيناً

So the devils and the castaways companions of hisla turned towards Ibleesla and said, ‘This community is a Blessed community and is infallible, and there is neither for youla nor for usla a way against them, for they have come to know their Imamasws, and their shelter after their Prophetsaww. So Ibleesla , may Allahazwj Curse himla went away bleak and in grief.

وَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَّهُ لَوْ قُبِضَ أَنَّ النَّاسَ يُبَايِعُونَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فِي ظُلَّةِ بَنِي سَاعِدَةَ بَعْدَ مَا يَخْتَصِمُونَ ثُمَّ يَأْتُونَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيَكُونُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ يُبَايِعُهُ عَلَى مِنْبَرِي إِبْلِيسُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ فِي صُورَةِ رَجُلٍ شَيْخٍ مُشَمِّرٍ يَقُولُ كَذَا وَ كَذَا ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ فَيَجْمَعُ شَيَاطِينَهُ وَ أَبَالِسَتَهُ فَيَنْخُرُ وَ يَكْسَعُ وَ يَقُولُ كَلَّا زَعَمْتُمْ أَنْ لَيْسَ لِي عَلَيْهِمْ سَبِيلٌ فَكَيْفَ رَأَيْتُمْ مَا صَنَعْتُ بِهِمْ حَتَّى تَرَكُوا أَمْرَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ طَاعَتَهُ وَ مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله).

And the Messengersaww informed measws that when hesaww passes away, the people would be pledging their allegiances to Abu Bakr in the shade of the Clan of Sa’ada after their quarrelling, then they would be coming to the Masjid, so the first one who would be pledging his allegiance upon mysaww Pulpit would be Ibleesla may Allahazwj Curse himla in the image of an old man with mark of prostration, saying such and such. Then hela will go out and gather hisla Satans and devils and excitedly say to them, ‘All of youla thought that there was no way for mela against them, so how do youla see what Ila have done with them, to the extent that they had left the Command of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and being obedient to Himazwj, and what the Rasool Allahsaww has commanded them for’.

14989- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ عَنْ مِسْمَعِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ عَنْ صَبَّاحٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ صَبَّاحٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) يَوْمَ الْغَدِيرِ صَرَخَ إِبْلِيسُ فِي جُنُودِهِ صَرْخَةً فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فِي بَرٍّ وَ لَا بَحْرٍ إِلَّا أَتَاهُ فَقَالُوا يَا سَيِّدَهُمْ وَ مَوْلَاهُمْ مَا ذَا دَهَاكَ فَمَا سَمِعْنَا لَكَ صَرْخَةً أَوْحَشَ مِنْ صَرْخَتِكَ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ فَعَلَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ فِعْلًا إِنْ تَمَّ لَمْ يُعْصَ اللَّهُ أَبَداً فَقَالُوا يَا سَيِّدَهُمْ أَنْتَ كُنْتَ لآِدَمَ

H 14989 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad All Yamani, from Masma’a Bin All Hajjaj, from Sabbah Al-Haza’a, from Sabbah Al-Muzny, who has narrated from Jabir the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said; ‘When the Rasool Allahsaww grabbed the hand of Aliasws on the Day of Al-Ghadeer, Ibleesla screamed in hisla army a loud scream. So there did not remain anyone from among them, either in the land or in the sea except that he came to himla. So they said, ‘O our chief and our master, what was that shriek which we heard which was so frightening that youla have never screamed like this before’. So hela said to them, ‘It was the action of this Prophetsaww, if acted upon, no one would disobey Allahazwj ever’. So they said, ‘O our chief, you la dealt with Adamas’.

فَلَمَّا قَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ إِنَّهُ يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى وَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ أَ مَا تَرَى عَيْنَيْهِ تَدُورَانِ فِي رَأْسِهِ كَأَنَّهُ مَجْنُونٌ يَعْنُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) صَرَخَ إِبْلِيسُ صَرْخَةً بِطَرَبٍ فَجَمَعَ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فَقَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتُمْ أَنِّي كُنْتُ لآِدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ آدَمُ نَقَضَ الْعَهْدَ وَ لَمْ يَكْفُرْ بِالرَّبِّ وَ هَؤُلَاءِ نَقَضُوا الْعَهْدَ وَ كَفَرُوا بِالرَّسُولِ

So when the hypocrites said, ‘Hesaww speak out of desires’, and one of them two (Abu Bakr and Umar) said to his companion, ‘Did you see hissaww turn in hissaww head as if hesaww is a mad man?’ (By this) meaning the Rasool Allahsaww, Ibleesla screamed with a scream of pleasure. So his la friends gathered. So hela said, ‘But, do you know that Ila dealt with Adamas beforehand?’ They said, ‘Yes’. Hela said, ‘Adamas set aside the Covenant and did not blaspheme with the Lordazwj, and these ones have set aside the Covenant and blasphemed against the Rasool Allahsaww’.

فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ أَقَامَ النَّاسُ غَيْرَ عَلِيٍّ لَبِسَ إِبْلِيسُ تَاجَ الْمُلْكِ وَ نَصَبَ مِنْبَراً وَ قَعَدَ فِي الْوَثْبَةِ وَ جَمَعَ خَيْلَهُ وَ رَجْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ اطْرَبُوا لَا يُطَاعُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى يَقُومَ الْإِمَامُ وَ تَلَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ لَقَدْ صَدَّقَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنَّهُ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ إِلَّا فَرِيقاً مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) كَانَ تَأْوِيلُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ الظَّنُّ مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ حِينَ قَالُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِنَّهُ يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوَى فَظَنَّ بِهِمْ إِبْلِيسُ ظَنّاً فَصَدَّقُوا ظَنَّهُ.

So when the Rasool Allahsaww passed away and the people established someone other than Aliasws, Ibleesla wore a crown of the king and established a pulpit and sat upon the cushion, and gathered hisla cavalry and hisla infantry. Then hela said to them, ‘Be delighted! Allahazwj will not be obeyed until the Imamasws makes a stand’. And Abu Ja’farasws recited: “[34:20] And certainly the Shaitan found true his conjecture concerning them, so they follow him, except a party of the believers”. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The explanation of this Verse came to the fore when the Rasool Allahsaww passed away, and the conjecture from Ibleesla where they said to the Rasool Allahsaww that hesaww speak out of desire, so Ibleesla conjectured about them with a conjecture and they made hisla conjecture to come true’.

H 14990 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Zurara, who has reported the following:

One of the two of themasws (Fifth of sixth Imamasws) having said: ‘One morning the Rasool Allahsaww was grim and in grief. So Aliasws said to himsaww: ‘What is it that Iasws see yousaww to be grim and sad, O Rasool Allahsaww?’ So hesaww said; ‘So how can Isaww not be like that and Isaww have dreamt last night that the Clan of Taym (Abu Bakr’s clan), and clan of Adayy (Umar’s clan) ascending upon this Pulpit of minesaww, returning the people back from Al-Islam backwards. So Isaww said: ‘O Lordazwj! Will it be during mysaww lifetime or after mysaww passing away?’ So Heazwj Said; “After yoursaww passing away”.

14991- جَمِيلٌ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عليهما السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَوْ لَا أَنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقَالَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً اسْتَعَانَ بِقَوْمٍ حَتَّى إِذَا ظَفِرَ بِعَدُوِّهِ قَتَلَهُمْ لَضَرَبْتُ أَعْنَاقَ قَوْمٍ كَثِيرٍ.

H 14991 – Jameel, from Zurara, from one of themasws (Fifth or Sixth Imamasws) having said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘Had it not been for mysaww disliking that they would say, ‘Muhammadsaww sought support of the people so that hesaww would be victorious over hissaww enemies’, Isaww would have killed a lot of people by striking their necks’.

14992- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ الْمَسِيحُ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ التَّارِكَ شِفَاءَ الْمَجْرُوحِ مِنْ جُرْحِهِ شَرِيكٌ لِجَارِحِهِ لَا مَحَالَةَ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْجَارِحَ أَرَادَ فَسَادَ الْمَجْرُوحِ وَ التَّارِكَ لِإِشْفَائِهِ لَمْ يَشَأْ صَلَاحَهُ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَشَأْ صَلَاحَهُ فَقَدْ شَاءَ فَسَادَهُ اضْطِرَاراً فَكَذَلِكَ لَا تُحَدِّثُوا بِالْحِكْمَةِ غَيْرَ أَهْلِهَا فَتَجْهَلُوا وَ لَا تَمْنَعُوهَا أَهْلَهَا فَتَأْثَمُوا وَ لْيَكُنْ أَحَدُكُمْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الطَّبِيبِ الْمُدَاوِي إِنْ رَأَى مَوْضِعاً لِدَوَائِهِ وَ إِلَّا أَمْسَكَ.

H 14992 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ubeydullah Al-Dahqaan, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim, from Ibn Abu Najraan, from Aban Bin Taglub, who has narrated:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘The Messiahas used to say: ‘The one who avoids treating the wounded from his wounds is inevitably an associate of the one who wounded him, and that the injurer intended to destroy the wounded one, and the one who avoided treating him did not desire his well being. So if he did not desire his well being so he has desired his destruction unwillingly. Similar to that, do not narrate the wisdom to the one who does not deserve it for it would be ignorant of you, and do not prevent it from its deserving ones, for you would be a sinner, but one of you should become of the status of a doctor who treats when he sees it is appropriate for his medicine, otherwise he withholds’.

14993- سَهْلٌ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) أَنَا وَ حُسَيْنُ بْنُ ثُوَيْرِ بْنِ أَبِي فَاخِتَةَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي سَعَةٍ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ وَ غَضَارَةٍ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ فَتَغَيَّرَتِ الْحَالُ بَعْضَ التَّغْيِيرِ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَرُدَّ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تُرِيدُونَ تَكُونُونَ مُلُوكاً أَ يَسُرُّكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِثْلَ طَاهِرٍ وَ هَرْثَمَةَ وَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى خِلَافِ مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّ لِيَ الدُّنْيَا بِمَا فِيهَا ذَهَباً وَ فِضَّةً وَ إِنِّي عَلَى خِلَافِ مَا أَنَا عَلَيْهِ

H 14993 – Sahl, from Ubeydullah, from Ahmad Bin Umar who said:

I went to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws with Husayn Bin Suweyr Bin Abu Fakhta. So I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, we used to be in a time of sustenance and led an affluent lifestyle. Our condition changed as it sometimes does, so supplicate to Allahazwj to return that state to us’. So heasws said: ‘What is it that you want? To become kings? Would you be satisfied to become like Tahir and Harsama, and they are opposed to what you are upon?’ I said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, it would not satisfy me that there should be for me the whole world and whatever is in it of the gold and the silver, whilst I am upon the opposite to what I am upon at present (Al-Wilayah).

قَالَ فَقَالَ فَمَنْ أَيْسَرَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَشْكُرِ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى اعْمَلُوا آلَ داوُدَ شُكْراً وَ قَلِيلٌ مِنْ عِبادِيَ الشَّكُورُ وَ أَحْسِنُوا الظَّنَّ بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) كَانَ يَقُولُ مَنْ حَسُنَ ظَنُّهُ بِاللَّهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ ظَنِّهِ بِهِ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِالْقَلِيلِ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ الْيَسِيرَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِالْيَسِيرِ مِنَ الْحَلَالِ خَفَّتْ مَئُونَتُهُ وَ تَنَعَّمَ أَهْلُهُ وَ بَصَّرَهُ اللَّهُ دَاءَ الدُّنْيَا وَ دَوَاءَهَا وَ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنْهَا سَالِماً إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ

Heasws said; ‘So the one who is contented among you, should be thankful to Allahazwj. Allahazwj is Saying: “[14:7] If you are grateful, I would certainly give to you more”. And the Glorious and High Said: “[34:13] give thanks, O family of Dawood! and very few of My servants are grateful”. And think good with Allahazwj, for Abu Abdullahasws used to say; ‘The one who thinks about Allahazwj, Allahazwj would also Mention him (Reward him), and the one who is happy with a little from the sustenance, Allahazwj would Accept even small amount of deeds. And the one who is happy with a small amount of Permissible, his expenses would be light and his family would enjoy, and Allahazwj would Show him the sicknesses of the world and its cure and Bring him out from it safely to the House of Peace’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَ ابْنُ قِيَامَا قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَلْقَانَا فَيُحْسِنُ اللِّقَاءَ فَقَالَ وَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ لا يَزالُ بُنْيانُهُمُ الَّذِي بَنَوْا رِيبَةً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَقَطَّعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَدْرِي لِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَحَيَّرَ ابْنُ قِيَامَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ إِنَّهُ تَبِعَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) فَأَتَاهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ مَسْجِدَ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ مَا تُرِيدُ حَيَّرَكَ اللَّهُ

Then said; ‘What is the action of Ibn Qayama?’ I said, ‘By Allahazwj, he (does not) meet us in a goodly manner’. So heasws said: ‘And which thing prevents him from that?’ Then heasws recited this Verse: “[9:110] The building which they have built will ever continue to be a source of disquiet in their hearts, except that their hearts get cut into pieces”. Then heasws said: ‘Do you know what was it that confused Ibn Qayama?’ I said, ‘No’. Heasws said: ‘He chased Abu Al-Hassanasws, so he came to himasws from hisasws right, and from hisasws left, and he wanted Masjid of the Prophetsaww. So Abu Al-Hassanasws turned towards him and said: ‘What do you want, may Allahazwj Confuse you’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ رَأَيْتَ لَوْ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ مُوسَى فَقَالُوا لَوْ نَصَبْتَهُ لَنَا فَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ وَ اقْتَصَصْنَا أَثَرَهُ أَ هُمْ كَانُوا أَصْوَبَ قَوْلًا أَوْ مَنْ قَالَ لَنْ نَبْرَحَ عَلَيْهِ عاكِفِينَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْنا مُوسى قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا بَلْ مَنْ قَالَ نَصَبْتَهُ لَنَا فَاتَّبَعْنَاهُ وَ اقْتَصَصْنَا أَثَرَهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ مِنْ هَاهُنَا أُتِيَ ابْنُ قِيَامَا وَ مَنْ قَالَ بِقَوْلِهِ

Then heasws said: ‘Consider if Musaas were to return to them, so they said, ‘Had youas appointed him (Harounas) for us, so we would have followed himas in hisas footsteps’, were they more desirable in their speech or the ones who said, ‘We will not leave our devotions for him (Harounas) until Musaas returns to us’. So I said, ‘No, but the ones who said, ‘Heas has been appointed for us, so we will follow himas in hisas footsteps’. So heasws said; ‘So it is from there that Ibn Qayama and the ones who speak by his speech come from’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ابْنَ السَّرَّاجِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ أَقَرَّ بِمَوْتِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أَوْصَى عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَقَالَ كُلُّ مَا خَلَّفْتُ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى قَمِيصِي هَذَا الَّذِي فِي عُنُقِي لِوَرَثَةِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ هُوَ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) وَ هَذَا إِقْرَارٌ وَ لَكِنْ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَنْفَعُهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ مِمَّا قَالَ ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ.

Then heasws mentioned Ibn Al-Sarraaj, so heasws said: ‘He had accepted the death of Abu Al-Hassanasws and that is why he bequeathed during his death, so he said, ‘All of what I leave behind from the things, even my shirt which is upon my neck, is for the inheritors of Abu Al-Hassanasws’. And he never said that it is for Abu Al-Hassanasws. And this is his acceptance, but which thing will profit him from that and from what he said?’ Then heasws was quiet’.

14994- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ إِذَا سَافَرْتَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ فَأَكْثِرِ اسْتِشَارَتَكَ إِيَّاهُمْ فِي أَمْرِكَ وَ أُمُورِهِمْ وَ أَكْثِرِ التَّبَسُّمَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ وَ كُنْ كَرِيماً عَلَى زَادِكَ وَ إِذَا دَعَوْكَ فَأَجِبْهُمْ وَ إِذَا اسْتَعَانُوا بِكَ فَأَعِنْهُمْ وَ اغْلِبْهُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ بِطُولِ الصَّمْتِ وَ كَثْرَةِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ سَخَاءِ النَّفْسِ بِمَا مَعَكَ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ أَوْ مَالٍ أَوْ زَادٍ

H 14994 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al-Munqary, from Hammaad, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘Luqmanas said to hisas son: ‘Whenever you travel with a group, take a lot of advice about them for your affairs and their affairs, and smile frequently in their faces, and be generous with your provisions. And if they call you, respond to them, and if they seek your support, help them. And be overcome them with three things – the length of silence, and the frequency of the Prayer, and generosity of the self with whatever is with you from the animal, or wealth, or provisions.

وَ إِذَا اسْتَشْهَدُوكَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ فَاشْهَدْ لَهُمْ وَ اجْهَدْ رَأْيَكَ لَهُمْ إِذَا اسْتَشَارُوكَ ثُمَّ لَا تَعْزِمْ حَتَّى تَثَبَّتَ وَ تَنْظُرَ وَ لَا تُجِبْ فِي مَشُورَةٍ حَتَّى تَقُومَ فِيهَا وَ تَقْعُدَ وَ تَنَامَ وَ تَأْكُلَ وَ تُصَلِّيَ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَعْمِلٌ فِكْرَكَ وَ حِكْمَتَكَ فِي مَشُورَتِهِ فَإِنَّ مَنْ لَمْ يُمْحِضِ النَّصِيحَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَشَارَهُ سَلَبَهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَأْيَهُ وَ نَزَعَ عَنْهُ الْأَمَانَةَ

And if they ask you to testify to ‘الْحَقِّ’ the truth, so testify for it, and exhaust your opinion for them if they consult you. Then do not advise them until you are sure about it and reconsider it, and do not answer in your advice until you stand regarding it, and sit, and sleep, and eat, and Pray, and you are utilising your thoughts and your wisdom with regards to your advice. So the one who does not refine his advice for the one who consulted him, Allahazwj Crucifies his opinion, and Removes from him the trust.

وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ أَصْحَابَكَ يَمْشُونَ فَامْشِ مَعَهُمْ وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ يَعْمَلُونَ فَاعْمَلْ مَعَهُمْ وَ إِذَا تَصَدَّقُوا وَ أَعْطَوْا قَرْضاً فَأَعْطِ مَعَهُمْ وَ اسْمَعْ لِمَنْ هُوَ أَكْبَرُ مِنْكَ سِنّاً وَ إِذَا أَمَرُوكَ بِأَمْرٍ وَ سَأَلُوكَ فَقُلْ نَعَمْ وَ لَا تَقُلْ لَا فَإِنَّ لَا عِيٌّ وَ لُؤْمٌ وَ إِذَا تَحَيَّرْتُمْ فِي طَرِيقِكُمْ فَانْزِلُوا وَ إِذَا شَكَكْتُمْ فِي الْقَصْدِ فَقِفُوا وَ تَآمَرُوا

And if you see your companions walking, so you should walk with them, and if you see them doing something, so do it with them, and if they give charity and give a loan, so give with them. And listen to the one who is older than you in age, and if he orders you and asks you, so say, Yes’, and do not say, ‘No’, for the ‘No’ is a fault and blameable. And if you are confused regarding your road, so stop and encamp, and if you are in doubt regarding the intended course, pause and plan.

وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَخْصاً وَاحِداً فَلَا تَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ طَرِيقِكُمْ وَ لَا تَسْتَرْشِدُوهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّخْصَ الْوَاحِدَ فِي الْفَلَاةِ مُرِيبٌ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَيْناً لِلُّصُوصِ أَوْ يَكُونَ هُوَ الشَّيْطَانَ الَّذِي حَيَّرَكُمْ وَ احْذَرُوا الشَّخْصَيْنِ أَيْضاً إِلَّا أَنْ تَرَوْا مَا لَا أَرَى فَإِنَّ الْعَاقِلَ إِذَا أَبْصَرَ بِعَيْنِهِ شَيْئاً عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ مِنْهُ وَ الشَّاهِدُ يَرَى مَا لَا يَرَى الْغَائِبُ

And if you see one person, do not ask him about your direction of road, and do not heed his guidance, for the one person in the wild is suspect for he could be an eye for the thieves, or he could be the Satanla who confused you. And be cautious of two persons as well, unless you can see what Ias don’t, for the intellectual, when he sees something with his own eyes recognises the truth from it, and the witness can see what the absentee does not.

يَا بُنَيَّ وَ إِذَا جَاءَ وَقْتُ صَلَاةٍ فَلَا تُؤَخِّرْهَا لِشَيْ‏ءٍ وَ صَلِّهَا وَ اسْتَرِحْ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّهَا دَيْنٌ وَ صَلِّ فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَ لَوْ عَلَى رَأْسِ زُجٍّ وَ لَا تَنَامَنَّ عَلَى دَابَّتِكَ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ سَرِيعٌ فِي دَبَرِهَا وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فِعْلِ الْحُكَمَاءِ إِلَّا أَنْ تَكُونَ فِي مَحْمِلٍ يُمْكِنُكَ التَّمَدُّدُ لِاسْتِرْخَاءِ الْمَفَاصِلِ

O my son! And when the time of Salat comes up, so do not delay it for anything, and offer Salat and seek comfort from it for it is the Religion. And Pray in congregation even if there is pushing upon the head. And do not sleep upon your animal for that is injurious to its back, and that is not from the actions of the wise except if you are in a carriage and it is possible for you to stretch your joints.

وَ إِذَا قَرُبْتَ مِنَ الْمَنْزِلِ فَانْزِلْ عَنْ دَابَّتِكَ وَ ابْدَأْ بِعَلْفِهَا قَبْلَ نَفْسِكَ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ النُّزُولَ فَعَلَيْكَ مِنْ بِقَاعِ الْأَرْضِ بِأَحْسَنِهَا لَوْناً وَ أَلْيَنِهَا تُرْبَةً وَ أَكْثَرِهَا عُشْباً وَ إِذَا نَزَلْتَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَجْلِسَ وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ قَضَاءَ حَاجَةٍ فَأَبْعِدِ الْمَذْهَبَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلْتَ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ وَدِّعِ الْأَرْضَ الَّتِي حَلَلْتَ بِهَا وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا فَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ بُقْعَةٍ أَهْلًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ

And when you come close to the destination, so descend from your animal and begin by feeding it before yourself. And when you intend to encamp, so it is upon you to remain in a land, which is good in colour, soft in soil, and abundance of grass. And if you encamp, so Pray two cycles before you sit down. And if you intend to fulfill your need (toilet), go far away. And when you embark (upon your journey) Pray two cycles, and say farewell to the land on which you spent time, and send greetings of peace upon it and upon its people, because for every patch of land has its inhabitants from the Angels.

وَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَأْكُلَ طَعَاماً حَتَّى تَبْدَأَ فَتَتَصَدَّقَ مِنْهُ فَافْعَلْ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِقِرَاءَةِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا دُمْتَ رَاكِباً وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ مَا دُمْتَ عَامِلًا وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالدُّعَاءِ مَا دُمْتَ خَالِياً وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ السَّيْرَ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالتَّعْرِيسِ وَ الدَّلْجَةِ مِنْ لَدُنْ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَ إِيَّاكَ وَ رَفْعَ الصَّوْتِ فِي مَسِيرِكَ.

If you are able to, do not eat food until you begin by giving charity from it, so do it. And it is upon you to recite the Book of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic as long as you are riding. And it is upon you for the Glorification for as long as you are working. And it is upon you to supplicate for as long as you are alone. And beware of travelling in the first part of the night. And it is upon you to travel from the middle of the night to its end. And beware of raising your voice during your travel’.

H 14995 – A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Husayn Bin Yazeed Al-Nowfaly, from Ali Bin Dawood Al-Yaqouby, from Isa Bin Abdullah Al-Alawy who said:

It has been narrated to me by Al-Asaydi and Muhammad Bin Basheer that Abdullah Bin Naf’a Al-Azraq used to say, ‘If only I knew someone between its (earth’s) diameter where my animal (ride) can reach to, who can debate with me that Aliasws killed the people of Naharwaan, and heasws was not unjust to them, I would ride over to him’ (to refute). So it was said to him, ‘And (what about hisasws sonasws)?’ He said, ‘Is hisasws sonasws a knowledgeable one?’ So it was said to him, ‘This is your first ignorance. And have theyasws ever been without a knowledgeable one?’ He said, ‘So who is theirasws knowledgeable one today?’ It was said, ‘Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws Bin Al-Husayn Bin Aliasws’.

قَالَ فَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ فِي صَنَادِيدِ أَصْحَابِهِ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقِيلَ لَهُ هَذَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ فَقَالَ وَ مَا يَصْنَعُ بِي وَ هُوَ يَبْرَأُ مِنِّي وَ مِنْ أَبِي طَرَفَيِ النَّهَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ الْكُوفِيُّ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ هَذَا يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ لَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ بَيْنَ قُطْرَيْهَا أَحَداً تُبْلِغُهُ الْمَطَايَا إِلَيْهِ يَخْصِمُهُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) قَتَلَ أَهْلَ النَّهْرَوَانِ وَ هُوَ لَهُمْ غَيْرُ ظَالِمٍ لَرَحَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَ تَرَاهُ جَاءَنِي مُنَاظِراً قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ يَا غُلَامُ اخْرُجْ فَحُطَّ رَحْلَهُ وَ قُلْ لَهُ إِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ فَأْتِنَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘So he rode over to himasws with the brave ones of his companions until he came up to Al-Medina. So he sought permission to see Abu Ja’farasws. It was said to himasws, ‘This is Abdullah Bin Naf’a’. Heasws said; ‘So what has he to do with measws, and he ‘يَبْرَأُ’ distances himself (Tabarra) from measws and from myasws fatherasws both morning and evening’. Abu Baseer Al-Kufy said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, this one alleges that, ‘‘If only I knew someone between its (earth’s) diameter where my animal (ride) can reach to, who can debate with me that Aliasws killed the people of Naharwaan, and heasws was not unjust to them, I would ride over to him (to refute)’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘You think he has come to measws for a debate?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘O boy (servant), go out and unload his saddlebag, and tell him to come to usasws tomorrow’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ غَدَا فِي صَنَادِيدِ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ بَعَثَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) إِلَى جَمِيعِ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَمَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ فِي ثَوْبَيْنِ مُمَغَّرَيْنِ وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ كَأَنَّهُ فِلْقَةُ قَمَرٍ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مُحَيِّثِ الْحَيْثِ وَ مُكَيِّفِ الْكَيْفِ وَ مُؤَيِّنِ الْأَيْنِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لَا نَوْمٌ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ اجْتَبَاهُ وَ هَدَاهُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِنُبُوَّتِهِ وَ اخْتَصَّنَا بِوَلَايَتِهِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘So when it was the next day, Abdullah Bin Naf’a came with the brave ones of his companions, and Abu Ja’farasws sent a message to all the sons of the Emigrants and the Helpers and gathered them. Then heasws came out to the people wearing two alluring robes and faced the people as if heasws was the moon in orbit. So heasws said: ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj, the Awarder of the positions, and the Attribute of the attributes, and the Director of the directions. The Praise is due to Allahazwj “[2:255] slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His” up to the end of the Verse. ‘And Iasws testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj, One, with no associates to Himazwj. And Iasws testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant, Chosen by Himazwj and Guided by Himazwj to be on the Straight Path. The Praise is due to Allahazwj Who Honoured usasws with the Prophet-hood and Favoured us by Al-Wilayah.

يَا مَعْشَرَ أَبْنَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ مَنْ كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ مَنْقَبَةٌ فِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) فَلْيَقُمْ وَ لْيَتَحَدَّثْ قَالَ فَقَامَ النَّاسُ فَسَرَدُوا تِلْكَ الْمَنَاقِبَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَنَا أَرْوَى لِهَذِهِ الْمَنَاقِبِ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ إِنَّمَا أَحْدَثَ عَلِيٌّ الْكُفْرَ بَعْدَ تَحْكِيمِهِ الْحَكَمَيْنِ حَتَّى انْتَهَوْا فِي الْمَنَاقِبِ إِلَى حَدِيثِ خَيْبَرَ لَأُعْطِيَنَّ الرَّايَةَ غَداً رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ كَرَّاراً غَيْرَ فَرَّارٍ لَا يَرْجِعُ حَتَّى يَفْتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ

O group of the sons of the Emigrants and the Helpers! The ones among you who have merits regarding Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, so he should stand and narrate them’. So the people stood up, so they enumerated those merits. Abdullah said, ‘I am a narrator of these merits from them, but, subsequently the disbelief took place after the appointment of the two judges’. Then they ended up with the merits in the Hadeeth of Khyber: ‘Isaww shall give the flag tomorrow to a man who loves Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww, and Allahazwj and Hisazwj Messengersaww love himasws. An attacking one, not a fleeing one who will not return until Allahazwj Grants victory upon hisasws hands’. 

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) مَا تَقُولُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقَالَ هُوَ حَقٌّ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَ لَكِنْ أَحْدَثَ الْكُفْرَ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَبَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَوْمَ أَحَبَّهُ وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَقْتُلُ أَهْلَ النَّهْرَوَانِ أَمْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ قَالَ ابْنُ نَافِعٍ أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ أَحَبَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَوْمَ أَحَبَّهُ وَ هُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ يَقْتُلُ أَهْلَ النَّهْرَوَانِ أَمْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ قَالَ إِنْ قُلْتَ لَا كَفَرْتَ قَالَ فَقَالَ قَدْ عَلِمَ

So Abu Ja’farasws said; ‘What do you say regarding this Hadeeth’. He said, ‘True. There is no doubt with regards to it, but disbelief took place afterwards’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘May your mother be bereft of you! Inform measws about Allahazwj Loving Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws on the Day Heazwj Loved himasws and Heazwj Knew that heasws would be killing the people of Nahrwan, or did Heazwj not Know?’ Ibn Naf’a said, ‘Repeat that for me’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘Inform measws about Allahazwj, Heazwj Loved Aliasws on the day that Heazwj Loved himasws, and Heazwj Knew that heasws would be killing the people of Nahrwan, or did Heazwj not Know?’ He said, ‘If I say, ‘No’, I would have blasphemed’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So he said, ‘Heazwj had Known’. 

قَالَ فَأَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِطَاعَتِهِ أَوْ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَى أَنْ يَعْمَلَ بِطَاعَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقُمْ مَخْصُوماً فَقَامَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ حَيْثُ يَجْعَلُ رِسَالَتَهُ.

Heasws said: ‘So did Allahazwj Love Aliasws to act in obedience to Himazwj or in disobedience to Himazwj?’ Heasws said; ‘Upon hisasws acting in obedience to Himazwj’. So Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘So stand up (and leave) for you have been defeated’. He stood up and he was saying, ‘Until the white thread becomes distinct from the black thread at dawn, Allahazwj Knows where Heazwj should Make Hisazwj Message to be’.

H 14996 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad, And Ali Bin Muhammad, together from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Taymi, from Muhammad Bin Al-Khataab Al-Wasity, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Ahmad Bin Umar Al-Halby, from hammad Al-Azdy, from Hisham Al-Khaffaf who said:

Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘How is your insight into the stars (astrology)?’ I said, ‘There is no one left in Iraq with more insight into the stars than I’. So heasws said; ‘How is the rotation of the ‘الْفَلَكِ’ universe in accordance to you?’ So I took off my cap from my head and rotated it. (Imamasws said) ‘If the matter was as you are saying it to be, so what do you make of Al-Na’ash, and Al-Jaday, and Al-Faqadayn? They are not being seen to rotate in a day from the time in the direction?’ I said, ‘By Allahazwj, this is something that I do not understand, not had I heard anyone from the people of the calculation mention it’. So heasws said to me: ‘What is the proportion of light of Al-Sukayna from Al-Zuhra Venus)?’ I said, ‘By Allahazwj, this is a star which I have not heard of, nor have I heard anyone from the people mentioning it’. So heasws said; ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! So you have dropped (ignored) a whole star, so what is your calculation based upon?’

ثُمَّ قَالَ فَكَمِ الزُّهَرَةُ مِنَ الْقَمَرِ جُزْءاً فِي ضَوْئِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ فَكَمِ الْقَمَرُ جُزْءاً مِنَ الشَّمْسِ فِي ضَوْئِهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا أَعْرِفُ هَذَا قَالَ صَدَقْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ الْعَسْكَرَيْنِ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فِي هَذَا حَاسِبٌ وَ فِي هَذَا حَاسِبٌ فَيَحْسُبُ هَذَا لِصَاحِبِهِ بِالظَّفَرِ وَ يَحْسُبُ هَذَا لِصَاحِبِهِ بِالظَّفَرِ ثُمَّ يَلْتَقِيَانِ فَيَهْزِمُ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ فَأَيْنَ كَانَتِ النُّحُوسُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ إِنَّ أَصْلَ الْحِسَابِ حَقٌّ وَ لَكِنْ لَا يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَلِمَ مَوَالِيدَ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمْ.

Then (Imamasws) said: ‘So what is the proportion of illumination of Al-Zuhra (Venus) from the moon is?’ I said, ‘This is a thing which no one knows except Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. Heasws said; ‘So what is the proportion of the moon from the sun in its illumination?’ I said, ‘I do not know this’. Heasws said; ‘You speak the truth’. Then said: ‘So what about the two armies which meet each other in accordance to this calculation, and in accordance to that calculation, and the calculator of this one calculated victory for this army, and the calculator of that one calculated victory for that army, then the two of them met, so one of them defeats the other, so now where would be the bad luck?’ I said, ‘By Allahazwj, I do not know that’. Heasws said: ‘You speak the truth. The origin of the calculation is true, but no one knows that except the one who knows the birth of creatures, all of them’.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام )

A SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14997- عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْمُؤَدِّبُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) النَّاسَ بِصِفِّينَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَقَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِي عَلَيْكُمْ حَقّاً بِوَلَايَةِ أَمْرِكُمْ وَ مَنْزِلَتِيَ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِهَا مِنْكُمْ وَ لَكُمْ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي لِي عَلَيْكُمْ

H 14997 – Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Mowdab, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid and Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Taymi together, from Ismail Bin Mahran who said, ‘Narrated to me Abdullah Al-Haris, from Jabir, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws gave a sermon to the people at Siffeen, so heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, and sent greetings upon the Prophetsaww, then said: ‘Having said that, Allahazwj the High has Made myasws rights to be obligatory upon you all as the Guardian of your matters (Wali-ul-Amr) and myasws status which Allahazwj Revealed for you, and similarly you have rights upon measws as Iasws have upon you.

وَ الْحَقُّ أَجْمَلُ الْأَشْيَاءِ فِي التَّوَاصُفِ وَ أَوْسَعُهَا فِي التَّنَاصُفِ لَا يَجْرِي لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَرَى لَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَجْرِيَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ وَ لَا يَجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَالِصاً دُونَ خَلْقِهِ لِقُدْرَتِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ لِعَدْلِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَا جَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ ضُرُوبُ قَضَائِهِ وَ لَكِنْ جَعَلَ حَقَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يُطِيعُوهُ وَ جَعَلَ كَفَّارَتَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ بِحُسْنِ الثَّوَابِ تَفَضُّلًا مِنْهُ وَ تَطَوُّلًا بِكَرَمِهِ وَ تَوَسُّعاً بِمَا هُوَ مِنَ الْمَزِيدِ لَهُ أَهْلًا

And the right is the most beautiful of the things in description; and most expansive in sharing. There is no other thing which is applied on one’s favour without being applied against him and it is not applied against him unless it is applied in his favour. The only one for whom it flows for and does not flow against is Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic only apart from Hisazwj creatures, for Heazwj is Powerful over Hisazwj servants, and Hisazwj Justice regarding everything that Heazwj Judges. But Heazwj Made Hisazwj Rights upon the servants that they should be obedient to Himazwj, and Made expiation against them by the good Rewards as Grace from Himazwj, and the prolonged Generosity, and Expanding by increasing it for the one who is deserving of it.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْ حُقُوقِهِ حُقُوقاً فَرَضَهَا لِبَعْضِ النَّاسِ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَجَعَلَهَا تَتَكَافَى فِي وُجُوهِهَا وَ يُوجِبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً وَ لَا يُسْتَوْجَبُ بَعْضُهَا إِلَّا بِبَعْضٍ فَأَعْظَمُ مِمَّا افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مِنْ تِلْكَ الْحُقُوقِ حَقُّ الْوَالِي عَلَى الرَّعِيَّةِ وَ حَقُّ الرَّعِيَّةِ عَلَى الْوَالِي فَرِيضَةٌ فَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِكُلٍّ عَلَى كُلٍّ فَجَعَلَهَا نِظَامَ أُلْفَتِهِمْ وَ عِزّاً لِدِينِهِمْ وَ قِوَاماً لِسُنَنِ الْحَقِّ فِيهِمْ فَلَيْسَتْ تَصْلُحُ الرَّعِيَّةُ إِلَّا بِصَلَاحِ الْوُلَاةِ وَ لَا تَصْلُحُ الْوُلَاةُ إِلَّا بِاسْتِقَامَةِ الرَّعِيَّةِ

Then Heazwj Made from Hisazwj ‘حُقُوقِهِ’ Rights, certain rights to be obligated for some people upon some other people. So Heazwj Made it such that it obligates some of them for the others and does not obligate some except by the others. So the greatest of what Allahazwj has Necessitated from these rights is the rights of the governor upon the citizens and the rights of the citizens upon the governor, an obligation which Allahazwj has Obligated upon one and all. So Heazwj has Made it to be a system for them and as strength for their Religion, and the establishment of the true Sunnah among them. The citizens will not be corrected except by the governor being correct, nor will the governor be correct except by the integrity of the citizens.

فَإِذَا أَدَّتِ الرَّعِيَّةُ إِلَى الْوَالِي حَقَّهُ وَ أَدَّى إِلَيْهَا الْوَالِي كَذَلِكَ عَزَّ الْحَقُّ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَامَتْ مَنَاهِجُ الدِّينِ وَ اعْتَدَلَتْ مَعَالِمُ الْعَدْلِ وَ جَرَتْ عَلَى أَذْلَالِهَا السُّنَنُ فَصَلَحَ بِذَلِكَ الزَّمَانُ وَ طَابَ بِهِ الْعَيْشُ وَ طُمِعَ فِي بَقَاءِ الدَّوْلَةِ وَ يَئِسَتْ مَطَامِعُ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ إِذَا غَلَبَتِ الرَّعِيَّةُ وَالِيَهُمْ وَ عَلَا الْوَالِي الرَّعِيَّةَ اخْتَلَفَتْ هُنَالِكَ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ ظَهَرَتْ مَطَامِعُ الْجَوْرِ وَ كَثُرَ الْإِدْغَالُ فِي الدِّينِ وَ تُرِكَتْ مَعَالِمُ السُّنَنِ فَعُمِلَ بِالْهَوَى وَ عُطِّلَتِ الْآثَارُ وَ كَثُرَتْ عِلَلُ النُّفُوسِ وَ لَا يُسْتَوْحَشُ لِجَسِيمِ حَدٍّ عُطِّلَ وَ لَا لِعَظِيمِ بَاطِلٍ أُثِّلَ فَهُنَالِكَ تَذِلُّ الْأَبْرَارُ وَ تَعِزُّ الْأَشْرَارُ وَ تَخْرَبُ الْبِلَادُ وَ تَعْظُمُ تَبِعَاتُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عِنْدَ الْعِبَادِ

So if the citizens fulfil the rights to the governor and the governor fulfils their rights as well, the truth will be strengthened between them. The manifesto of the Religion would be established, and the landmarks of justice would find fairness, and the Sunnah would flow smoothly. That would make life prosperous, and they would yearn for the survival of the government, and the enemies would despair from their ambitions. And if the citizens overcome the governor and the governor seeks to overcome them that are where the differences of speech emerge. The yearning of tyranny appears, and abundance of the lawlessness in the Religion, and the landmarks of the Sunnah are left. So they act by the desires, effects vanish, and illnesses of the souls abound. There is no fear of the penalties for infringement of the Laws, nor does confronting the falsehood seem great. So that is where the humiliation of the righteous and the honour for the evil ones is, and the ruination of the cities, and the greater the consequences will be for the servants in the presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

فَهَلُمَّ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِلَى التَّعَاوُنِ عَلَى طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ الْقِيَامِ بِعَدْلِهِ وَ الْوَفَاءِ بِعَهْدِهِ وَ الْإِنْصَافِ لَهُ فِي جَمِيعِ حَقِّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ الْعِبَادُ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ أَحْوَجَ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى التَّنَاصُحِ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ حُسْنِ التَّعَاوُنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ وَ إِنِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَى رِضَا اللَّهِ حِرْصُهُ وَ طَالَ فِي الْعَمَلِ اجْتِهَادُهُ بِبَالِغٍ حَقِيقَةَ مَا أَعْطَى اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحَقِّ أَهْلَهُ وَ لَكِنْ مِنْ وَاجِبِ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ النَّصِيحَةُ لَهُ بِمَبْلَغِ جُهْدِهِمْ وَ التَّعَاوُنُ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ الْحَقِّ فِيهِمْ

So come, o you people, to the co-operation to the obedience to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and the establishment by Hisazwj Justice, and the loyalty to Hisazwj Covenant, and the fairness to Himazwj is all of Hisazwj Rights, for there is nothing more needed for the servants than for advising with regards to that, and the beautiful co-operation to Himazwj, and there is no one who intensifies his passion for striving for the Pleasure of Allahazwj to be able to reach its deserving point of fulfilling the Rights to Allahazwj. But, from the obligatory Rights of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, upon the servants is the advice to each other with maximum efforts, and the co-operation upon the establishment of the truth among them.

ثُمَّ لَيْسَ امْرُؤٌ وَ إِنْ عَظُمَتْ فِي الْحَقِّ مَنْزِلَتُهُ وَ جَسُمَتْ فِي الْحَقِّ فَضِيلَتُهُ بِمُسْتَغْنٍ عَنْ أَنْ يُعَانَ عَلَى مَا حَمَّلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ حَقِّهِ وَ لَا لِامْرِئٍ مَعَ ذَلِكَ خَسَأَتْ بِهِ الْأُمُورُ وَ اقْتَحَمَتْهُ الْعُيُونُ بِدُونِ مَا أَنْ يُعِينَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ يُعَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَهْلُ الْفَضِيلَةِ فِي الْحَالِ وَ أَهْلُ النِّعَمِ الْعِظَامِ أَكْثَرُ فِي ذَلِكَ حَاجَةً وَ كُلٌّ فِي الْحَاجَةِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ شَرَعٌ سَوَاءٌ

Then there is person, no matter how great his status regarding the truth, how magnified his preference regarding the truth is, would not be needless from the co-operation upon what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Burdened him with from Hisazwj Rights. And there is no person, no matter how low he is in the affairs, and the eyes are looking down upon him, can remain without being helped upon or given support. And the people of the merits and the people of the Favours are more frequently in need of that, and everyone is in need of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic equally’. 

فَأَجَابَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عَسْكَرِهِ لَا يُدْرَى مَنْ هُوَ وَ يُقَالُ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُرَ فِي عَسْكَرِهِ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ لَا بَعْدَهُ فَقَامَ وَ أَحْسَنَ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِمَا أَبْلَاهُمْ وَ أَعْطَاهُمْ مِنْ وَاجِبِ حَقِّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ الْإِقْرَارِ بِكُلِّ مَا ذَكَرَ مِنْ تَصَرُّفِ الْحَالَاتِ بِهِ وَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَنْتَ أَمِيرُنَا وَ نَحْنُ رَعِيَّتُكَ بِكَ أَخْرَجَنَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ بِإِعْزَازِكَ أَطْلَقَ عِبَادَهُ مِنَ الْغُلِّ فَاخْتَرْ عَلَيْنَا وَ أَمْضِ اخْتِيَارَكَ وَ ائْتَمِرْ فَأَمْضِ ائْتِمَارَكَ فَإِنَّكَ الْقَائِلُ الْمُصَدَّقُ وَ الْحَاكِمُ الْمُوَفَّقُ وَ الْمَلِكُ الْمُخَوَّلُ لَا نَسْتَحِلُّ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مَعْصِيَتَكَ وَ لَا نَقِيسُ عِلْماً بِعِلْمِكَ يَعْظُمُ عِنْدَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ خَطَرُكَ وَ يَجِلُّ عَنْهُ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا فَضْلُكَ

A man from hisasws army answered himasws. No one knew who he was and it is said that he had never been seen in hisasws army before that day, nor was he seen after it. So he stood up and beautifully Extolled Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by what the afflictions Heazwj had Placed upon them, and Hisazwj Favours from the Obligation of Hisazwj rights against them, and accepted all what had been mentioned of the changing conditions with himasws and with them. Then said, ‘Youasws are our Commander, and we are yourasws citizens. It is by youasws that Allahazwj Brought us out of the humiliation and it is by yourasws strength that Heazwj Freed Hisazwj servant from the chains. So choose for us, and we will go by yourasws choice, and make a plan and we would go by yourasws plan, for youasws are a truthful speaker, and the successful ruler, and the authorised king. It is not permissible for us to disobey youasws in anything, nor do we compare our knowledge with yourasws knowledge. Youasws are great in regard to that choice, in our eyes, and yourasws virtues are majestic within us’.

فَأَجَابَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ حَقِّ مَنْ عَظُمَ جَلَالُ اللَّهِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ جَلَّ مَوْضِعُهُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَصْغُرَ عِنْدَهُ لِعِظَمِ ذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَا سِوَاهُ وَ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ لَمَنْ عَظُمَتْ نِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَطُفَ إِحْسَانُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ تَعْظُمْ نِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا زَادَ حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عِظَماً

So Amir-ul-Momineenasws answered him saying: ‘It is from the Rights that the one who Magnifies the Majesty of Allahazwj within himself and exalts Hisazwj position in his heart, everything else would seem little to him. And the one most deserving to be like that is the one to whom the Bounties of Allahazwj are great as well as Hisazwj Kind Favours to him, for no one would magnify the Bounties of Allahazwj except that the Rights of Allahazwj Increase upon him.

وَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَسْخَفِ حَالَاتِ الْوُلَاةِ عِنْدَ صَالِحِ النَّاسِ أَنْ يُظَنَّ بِهِمْ حُبُّ الْفَخْرِ وَ يُوضَعَ أَمْرُهُمْ عَلَى الْكِبْرِ وَ قَدْ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَالَ فِي ظَنِّكُمْ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ الْإِطْرَاءَ وَ اسْتِمَاعَ الثَّنَاءِ وَ لَسْتُ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ كَذَلِكَ وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ يُقَالَ ذَلِكَ لَتَرَكْتُهُ انْحِطَاطاً لِلَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ عَنْ تَنَاوُلِ مَا هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ رُبَّمَا اسْتَحْلَى النَّاسُ الثَّنَاءَ بَعْدَ الْبَلَاءِ فَلَا تُثْنُوا عَلَيَّ بِجَمِيلِ ثَنَاءٍ لِإِخْرَاجِي نَفْسِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْبَقِيَّةِ فِي حُقُوقٍ لَمْ أَفْرُغْ مِنْ أَدَائِهَا وَ فَرَائِضَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ إِمْضَائِهَا

And the lowest of the conditions of the governor in the presence of the righteous people is when he thinks of the love for pride and bases his affairs upon the arrogance, and Iasws did not like to become lost in your thoughts that Iasws would love the praise and listening to the praise. And Iasws am not like that. Thanks be to Allahazwj. And had Iasws loved what you said, Iasws would have abandoned it due to it lowering measws for the Sake of Allahazwj that Iasws should take to magnificence and greatness when Heazwj is more deserving of it. Maybe the people consider it sweet to be praised after the affliction. So do not praise measws with beautiful praises as it may take myasws soul out from being for the Sake of Allahazwj, and the remainder of the rights which Iasws have yet to fulfill and the obligations which Iasws have yet to perform.

فَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِي بِمَا تُكَلَّمُ بِهِ الْجَبَابِرَةُ وَ لَا تَتَحَفَّظُوا مِنِّي بِمَا يُتَحَفَّظُ بِهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْبَادِرَةِ وَ لَا تُخَالِطُونِي بِالْمُصَانَعَةِ وَ لَا تَظُنُّوا بِي اسْتِثْقَالًا فِي حَقٍّ قِيلَ لِي وَ لَا الْتِمَاسَ إِعْظَامٍ لِنَفْسِي لِمَا لَا يَصْلُحُ لِي فَإِنَّهُ مَنِ اسْتَثْقَلَ الْحَقَّ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُ أَوِ الْعَدْلَ أَنْ يُعْرَضَ عَلَيْهِ كَانَ الْعَمَلُ بِهِمَا أَثْقَلَ عَلَيْهِ

So, do not speak to measws as you speak to the tyrants, and do not have reservations from measws like you have reservations in the presence of the unresponsive people, and do not flatter measws, and do not think that Iasws consider it heavy regarding the right which is said to measws, or that Iasws seek self-greatness, for it is not correct for measws. So the one who considers the rights to be a burden if they are told to him, or the justice if it is presented to him, it would become heavier for him to act in accordance with these two.

فَلَا تَكُفُّوا عَنِّي مَقَالَةً بِحَقٍّ أَوْ مَشُورَةً بِعَدْلٍ فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ فِي نَفْسِي بِفَوْقِ مَا أَنْ أُخْطِئَ وَ لَا آمَنُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فِعْلِي إِلَّا أَنْ يَكْفِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي مَا هُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِهِ مِنِّي فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا وَ أَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ مَمْلُوكُونَ لِرَبٍّ لَا رَبَّ غَيْرُهُ يَمْلِكُ مِنَّا مَا لَا نَمْلِكُ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَخْرَجَنَا مِمَّا كُنَّا فِيهِ إِلَى مَا صَلَحْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَبْدَلَنَا بَعْدَ الضَّلَالَةِ بِالْهُدَى وَ أَعْطَانَا الْبَصِيرَةَ بَعْدَ الْعَمَى

So do not withhold from measws speaking about the rights, or consultation with justice, for Iasws not, with regards to myselfasws, above mistakes, nor do Iasws feel secure from that in myasws deeds except if Allahazwj Suffices for myselfasws in matter which Heazwj has more Control over than what Iasws have. But rather, Iasws and you all are servants, belonging to the Lordazwj. There is no lord apart from Himazwj. Heazwj Owns us what we do not own ourselves, and Took us out from what we used to be in to be in a situation which was correct for us. So Heazwj Protected us after straying, by the Guidance. Heazwj Gave us the vision after the blindness.

فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَجَابَهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ أَهْلُ مَا قُلْتَ وَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ مَا قُلْتَهُ فَبَلَاؤُهُ عِنْدَنَا مَا لَا يُكْفَرُ وَ قَدْ حَمَّلَكَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رِعَايَتَنَا وَ وَلَّاكَ سِيَاسَةَ أُمُورِنَا فَأَصْبَحْتَ عَلَمَنَا الَّذِي نَهْتَدِي بِهِ وَ إِمَامَنَا الَّذِي نَقْتَدِي بِهِ وَ أَمْرُكَ كُلُّهُ رُشْدٌ وَ قَوْلُكَ كُلُّهُ أَدَبٌ قَدْ قَرَّتْ بِكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ أَعْيُنُنَا وَ امْتَلَأَتْ مِنْ سُرُورٍ بِكَ قُلُوبُنَا وَ تَحَيَّرَتْ مِنْ صِفَةِ مَا فِيكَ مِنْ بَارِعِ الْفَضْلِ عُقُولُنَا

So, the man who answered himasws before, answered himasws, ‘By Allahazwj, youasws are deserving of what I said. By Allahazwj, youasws are more deserving than what I said, for Hisazwj Favours are such that we cannot deny, and Allahazwj Blessed and High has Burdened youasws with our citizens, and the Guardianship of our political affairs. So youasws have become (a representative of) our knowledge with which we can be guided by, and our Imamasws whom we follow, and every matter of yoursasws is guidance, and every word of yoursasws is educational. Our eyes have found delight with youasws in our lives, and our hearts are filled with bliss by youasws, and we are amazed at the qualities, which are within youasws and our intellects are at a loss to describe.

وَ لَسْنَا نَقُولُ لَكَ أَيُّهَا الْإِمَامُ الصَّالِحُ تَزْكِيَةً لَكَ وَ لَا نُجَاوِزُ الْقَصْدَ فِي الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَمْ يُكَنَّ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا طَعْنٌ عَلَى يَقِينِكَ أَوْ غِشٌّ فِي دِينِكَ فَنَتَخَوَّفَ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَحْدَثْتَ بِنِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى تَجَبُّراً أَوْ دَخَلَكَ كِبْرٌ وَ لَكِنَّا نَقُولُ لَكَ مَا قُلْنَا تَقَرُّباً إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِتَوْقِيرِكَ وَ تَوَسُّعاً بِتَفْضِيلِكَ وَ شُكْراً بِإِعْظَامِ أَمْرِكَ فَانْظُرْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ لَنَا وَ آثِرْ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ عَلَيْنَا فَنَحْنُ طُوَّعٌ فِيمَا أَمَرْتَنَا نَنْقَادُ مِنَ الْأُمُورِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ فِيمَا يَنْفَعُنَا

We are not saying to youasws, ‘O youasws righteous Imamasws as a purification for youasws, nor are we exaggerating in our intentions regarding our praising youasws. And we are not becoming critical of yourasws conviction, or the purity of yourasws Religion, so we have no fear that youasws would innovate by the Bounties of Allahazwj Blessed and High, or be tyrannical, or that arrogance should enter youasws, but we are saying to youasws what we said in order to be closer to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by revering youasws, and Enhancing yourasws merits, and appreciate the greatness of yourasws command. So consider yourselfasws and use, and give preference to the Command of Allahazwj over yourselfasws and over us, for we are obedient with regards to whatever youasws order us for, and we submit to the commands along with that regarding what is beneficial for us’.

فَأَجَابَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ وَ أَنَا أَسْتَشْهِدُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي لِعِلْمِكُمْ فِيمَا وُلِّيتُ بِهِ مِنْ أُمُورِكُمْ وَ عَمَّا قَلِيلٍ يَجْمَعُنِي وَ إِيَّاكُمُ الْمَوْقِفُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ السُّؤَالُ عَمَّا كُنَّا فِيهِ ثُمَّ يَشْهَدُ بَعْضُنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَلَا تَشْهَدُوا الْيَوْمَ بِخِلَافِ مَا أَنْتُمْ شَاهِدُونَ غَداً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ وَ لَا يَجُوزُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا مُنَاصَحَةُ الصُّدُورِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأُمُورِ

Amir-ul-Momineenasws answered him, so heasws said: ‘And Iasws am binding you in the Presence of Allahazwj to myselfasws for your knowing that Iasws am the guardian for your matters, for very shortly you will be gathered with measws. And Iasws warn you of the Pausing in front of Himazwj, and the Questioning about what we were in, then some of us will testify against the others, so do not testify today against what you will be testifying tomorrow, for there is nothing hidden from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, nor is it permitted in Hisazwj Presence except for the good advice of the chests in all of the matters’.

فَأَجَابَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ يُقَالُ لَمْ يُرَ الرَّجُلُ بَعْدَ كَلَامِهِ هَذَا لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) فَأَجَابَهُ وَ قَدْ عَالَ الَّذِي فِي صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ وَ الْبُكَاءُ يَقْطَعُ مَنْطِقَهُ وَ غُصَصُ الشَّجَا تَكْسِرُ صَوْتَهُ إِعْظَاماً لِخَطَرِ مَرْزِئَتِهِ وَ وَحْشَةً مِنْ كَوْنِ فَجِيعَتِهِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَكَا إِلَيْهِ هَوْلَ مَا أَشْفَى عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَرِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ الذُّلِّ الطَّوِيلِ فِي فَسَادِ زَمَانِهِ وَ انْقِلَابِ جَدِّهِ وَ انْقِطَاعِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ دَوْلَتِهِ

So the man answered himasws, and it was said that the man was never seen again after this speech of his to Amir-ul-Momineenasws, and he was bursting with emotion in his chest, and he spoke, and wailed which cut off his speech, and was anxious and choking, breaking his voice, being at the verge of collapse. So he Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then pleaded before Himazwj of the horrors of what he had been cured of, from the great dangers, and the prolonged humiliation regarding the mischief to take place during hisasws era, and the rebellions against himasws and the cutting off of what was from hisasws government.

ثُمَّ نَصَبَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالِامْتِنَانِ عَلَيْهِ وَ الْمُدَافَعَةِ عَنْهُ بِالتَّفَجُّعِ وَ حُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبَّانِيَّ الْعِبَادِ وَ يَا سَكَنَ الْبِلَادِ أَيْنَ يَقَعُ قَوْلُنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ أَيْنَ يَبْلُغُ وَصْفُنَا مِنْ فِعْلِكَ وَ أَنَّى نَبْلُغُ حَقِيقَةَ حُسْنِ ثَنَائِكَ أَوْ نُحْصِي جَمِيلَ بَلَائِكَ فَكَيْفَ وَ بِكَ جَرَتْ نِعَمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى يَدِكَ اتَّصَلَتْ أَسْبَابُ الْخَيْرِ إِلَيْنَا

Then he implored the matter to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic of the Bestowing of Favours on himasws, and the Dispelling (dangers) from himasws, and then Extolled Himazwj in a goodly manner. So he said, ‘O Lordazwj of the servants, and O Giver of tranquillity to the cities! How can we speak of Yourazwj Grace, and how can we reach Yourazwj Attributes from Yourazwj Actions, and for me to reach the reality of the beauty of Yourazwj Praise, or count the beauty of Yourazwj Favours. So how can we, and it is due to youasws that the Bounties of Allahazwj have flowed towards us, and it is upon yourasws hands that the causes of the good have arrived to us.

أَ لَمْ تَكُنْ لِذُلِّ الذَّلِيلِ مَلَاذاً وَ لِلْعُصَاةِ الْكُفَّارِ إِخْوَاناً فَبِمَنْ إِلَّا بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ بِكَ أَخْرَجَنَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ فَظَاعَةِ تِلْكَ الْخَطَرَاتِ أَوْ بِمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنَّا غَمَرَاتِ الْكُرُبَاتِ وَ بِمَنْ إِلَّا بِكُمْ أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ مَعَالِمَ دِينِنَا وَ اسْتَصْلَحَ مَا كَانَ فَسَدَ مِنْ دُنْيَانَا حَتَّى اسْتَبَانَ بَعْدَ الْجَوْرِ ذِكْرُنَا وَ قَرَّتْ مِنْ رَخَاءِ الْعَيْشِ أَعْيُنُنَا لِمَا وَلِيتَنَا بِالْإِحْسَانِ جَهْدَكَ وَ وَفَيْتَ لَنَا بِجَمِيعِ وَعْدِكَ وَ قُمْتَ لَنَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ عَهْدِكَ

Did youasws not become a sanctuary for the lowest of the low, and a saviour for the disobedient infidels? So by whom, except for the Peopleasws of yourasws Household, and by youasws that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Took us out from horrors of those dangers, and by whom did heazwj Rescue us from the thrones of distress, and by whom except by youasws did Allahazwj Make apparent the landmarks of our Religion, and Corrected what was spoilt from our Religion until we came to be mentioned, after the tyranny. And our eyes were delighted with a prosperous life when youasws became our Guardian as a favour to us, and youasws struggled and fulfilled to us all of yourasws promises, and stood by all of yourasws oaths to us.

فَكُنْتَ شَاهِدَ مَنْ غَابَ مِنَّا وَ خَلَفَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لَنَا وَ كُنْتَ عِزَّ ضُعَفَائِنَا وَ ثِمَالَ فُقَرَائِنَا وَ عِمَادَ عُظَمَائِنَا يَجْمَعُنَا فِي الْأُمُورِ عَدْلُكَ وَ يَتَّسِعُ لَنَا فِي الْحَقِّ تَأَنِّيكَ فَكُنْتَ لَنَا أُنْساً إِذَا رَأَيْنَاكَ وَ سَكَناً إِذَا ذَكَرْنَاكَ فَأَيَّ الْخَيْرَاتِ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ وَ أَيَّ الصَّالِحَاتِ لَمْ تَعْمَلْ

So youasws were a witness for the ones who were absent from us, and a successor of the Peopleasws of the Household for us. And youasws were the strength of our weak ones, and the wealth of our poor ones, and a pillar for our great ones. It was yourasws justice that brought us together in the matters, and accommodated us regarding the truth by yourasws patience. Youasws were, for us a familiarity if we saw youasws, and a tranquillity whenever we mentioned youasws. So which is the good deed, which youasws did not perform, and which is the righteous deeds which youasws did not act upon?

وَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّ الْأَمْرَ الَّذِي نَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهُ يَبْلُغُ تَحْوِيلَهُ جُهْدُنَا وَ تَقْوَى لِمُدَافَعَتِهِ طَاقَتُنَا أَوْ يَجُوزُ الْفِدَاءُ عَنْكَ مِنْهُ بِأَنْفُسِنَا وَ بِمَنْ نَفْدِيهِ بِالنُّفُوسِ مِنْ أَبْنَائِنَا لَقَدَّمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا وَ أَبْنَاءَنَا قِبَلَكَ وَ لَأَخْطَرْنَاهَا وَ قَلَّ خَطَرُهَا دُونَكَ وَ لَقُمْنَا بِجُهْدِنَا فِي مُحَاوَلَةِ مَنْ حَاوَلَكَ وَ فِي مُدَافَعَةِ مَنْ نَاوَاكَ

And had it not been for the matter which we fear for youasws from it reaching you, which our efforts could change, and our strengths could defend youasws from it, we would be permitted to sacrifice ourselves for yourasws defence, and repulse it from youasws by ourselves and our sons, we would put ourselves and our sons before youasws. And we would make this choice, and reduce its danger from youasws, and we would stand in our efforts in an attempt to defend youasws from yourasws enemies.

وَ لَكِنَّهُ سُلْطَانٌ لَا يُحَاوَلُ وَ عِزٌّ لَا يُزَاوَلُ وَ رَبٌّ لَا يُغَالَبُ فَإِنْ يَمْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِعَافِيَتِكَ وَ يَتَرَحَّمْ عَلَيْنَا بِبَقَائِكَ وَ يَتَحَنَّنْ عَلَيْنَا بِتَفْرِيجِ هَذَا مِنْ حَالِكَ إِلَى سَلَامَةٍ مِنْكَ لَنَا وَ بَقَاءٍ مِنْكَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا نُحْدِثْ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِذَلِكَ شُكْراً نُعَظِّمُهُ وَ ذِكْراً نُدِيمُهُ وَ نَقْسِمْ أَنْصَافَ أَمْوَالِنَا صَدَقَاتٍ وَ أَنْصَافَ رَقِيقِنَا عُتَقَاءَ وَ نُحْدِثْ لَهُ تَوَاضُعاً فِي أَنْفُسِنَا وَ نَخْشَعْ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِنَا

But Heazwj is an Authority, which cannot be stopped, and a Strength which cannot decline, and a Lordazwj Who cannot be overcome. So if heazwj was to Bestow a Favour to us by Bestowing upon youasws good health, and be Merciful towards us by Keeping youasws alive, and be Compassionate to us by Relieving youasws of these difficulties from yourasws situation to Keep youasws safe for us, and remain with us in front of us, we would narrate appreciation to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic for that, and Magnify Himazwj, and Mention Himazwj constantly, and distribute half of our wealth as charity, and free half of our slaves, and narrate to Himazwj with humbleness in our selves, and be submissive in all of our affairs.

وَ إِنْ يَمْضِ بِكَ إِلَى الْجِنَانِ وَ يُجْرِي عَلَيْكَ حَتْمَ سَبِيلِهِ فَغَيْرُ مُتَّهَمٍ فِيكَ قَضَاؤُهُ وَ لَا مَدْفُوعٍ عَنْكَ بَلَاؤُهُ وَ لَا مُخْتَلِفَةٍ مَعَ ذَلِكَ قُلُوبُنَا بِأَنَّ اخْتِيَارَهُ لَكَ مَا عِنْدَهُ عَلَى مَا كُنْتَ فِيهِ وَ لَكِنَّا نَبْكِي مِنْ غَيْرِ إِثْمٍ لِعِزِّ هَذَا السُّلْطَانِ أَنْ يَعُودَ ذَلِيلًا وَ لِلدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا أَكِيلًا فَلَا نَرَى لَكَ خَلَفاً نَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا نَظِيراً نَأْمُلُهُ وَ لَا نُقِيمُهُ.

And when Heazwj Takes you to the Gardens, and Makes to Flow for youasws that which is inevitable, so no one would be able to change that which Heazwj has Ordained, nor repulse from youasws Hisazwj Favours, nor will our hearts be opposed to that for that which Heazwj has Chosen for youasws of what is with Himazwj over what youasws used to be in. But, we would weep if this authority (government) were to return back to humiliation, and for the Religion and the world to be consumed and we do not see for youasws a successor we can take our complaints to, nor a similar government we can have hope in establishing it’.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام)

SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

14998- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَيْفَرٍ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ ظُهَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَ وُلْدُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ يَطْلُبُونَ مِنْهُ التَّفْضِيلَ لَهُمْ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَ مَالَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ

H 14998 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ali, together from ismail Bin Mahran, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-hassan Al-Taymi, and Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Ahmad Bin muhammad Bin Khalid, together from Ismail Bin Mahran, from Al-Munzar Bin Jayfar, from Al-Hakam Bin Zaheer, from Abdullah Bin Jareer Al-Abdy, from Al-Asbagh Bin Nubata who said:

‘There came to Amir-ul-Momineenasws, Abdullah Bin Umar and a son of Abu Bakr, and Sa’d bin Abu Waqqas, seeking from himasws the preferential treatment for themselves. So heasws ascended the Pulpit, and the people turned their attention towards himasws.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلِيِّ الْحَمْدِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الْكَرَمِ لَا تُدْرِكُهُ الصِّفَاتُ وَ لَا يُحَدُّ بِاللُّغَاتِ وَ لَا يُعْرَفُ بِالْغَايَاتِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) نَبِيُّ الْهُدَى وَ مَوْضِعُ التَّقْوَى وَ رَسُولُ الرَّبِّ الْأَعْلَى جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْحَقِّ لِيُنْذِرَ بِالْقُرْآنِ الْمُنِيرِ وَ الْبُرْهَانِ الْمُسْتَنِيرِ فَصَدَعَ بِالْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينِ وَ مَضَى عَلَى مَا مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّسُلُ الْأَوَّلُونَ

So heasws said: ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj to Whom belongs all Praise, and Who is extremely Generous. The descriptions do not fathom Himazwj nor is Heazwj limited by the languages, nor can Heazwj be understood by the wildest imaginations. And Iasws testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, One with no associates to Himazwj, and that Muhammadsaww is the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, a Prophetsaww of Guidance and a place for the piety, and a Messengersaww of the Highest Lordazwj whosaww came with the Truth from the Presence of the Truth, to warn by the Enlightening Quran and the Illuminating Proof. So hesaww declared by the Manifest Book and passed away upon what the former Messengerssaww had passed away.

أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَلَا يَقُولَنَّ رِجَالٌ قَدْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا غَمَرَتْهُمْ فَاتَّخَذُوا الْعَقَارَ وَ فَجَّرُوا الْأَنْهَارَ وَ رَكِبُوا أَفْرَهَ الدَّوَابِّ وَ لَبِسُوا أَلْيَنَ الثِّيَابِ فَصَارَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَاراً وَ شَنَاراً إِنْ لَمْ يَغْفِرْ لَهُمُ الْغَفَّارُ إِذَا مَنَعْتُهُمْ مَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَخُوضُونَ وَ صَيَّرْتُهُمْ إِلَى مَا يَسْتَوْجِبُونَ فَيَفْقِدُونَ ذَلِكَ فَيَسْأَلُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ ظَلَمَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ حَرَمَنَا وَ مَنَعَنَا حُقُوقَنَا

Having said that, O you people! Do not speak of the men who were immersed in the world, and acquired properties, and made canals to flow, and rode plenty of animals, and cLuthed themselves with soft cLuthing, for that would became a source of shame and ignominy for them if the Forgiver does not Forgive them. If Iasws were to prevent them from what they used to be in (affluent lifestyle) and take them to what is necessary for them, they would lose all that and they would be saying that the sonasws of Abu Talibasws has been unjust to us and has prohibited us and prevented us from our rights.

فَاللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ مَنِ اسْتَقْبَلَ قِبْلَتَنَا وَ أَكَلَ ذَبِيحَتَنَا وَ آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّنَا وَ شَهِدَ شَهَادَتَنَا وَ دَخَلَ فِي دِينِنَا أَجْرَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ حُكْمَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ حُدُودَ الْإِسْلَامِ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَضْلٌ إِلَّا بِالتَّقْوَى أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَفْضَلَ الثَّوَابِ وَ أَحْسَنَ الْجَزَاءِ وَ الْمَآبِ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الدُّنْيَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ ثَوَاباً وَ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لِلْأَبْرَارِ

So, Allahazwj is the Helper against the one who (Prays) in our direction (Qiblah), and eats the animals slaughtered by us, and believes by our Prophetsaww, and testifies to what we testify, and enters our Religion, weasws will apply upon him the Judgements of the Quran, and the Limits of Al-Islam. There is no preference for anyone over anyone else except by the piety. Indeed! The pious ones have the highest Rewards in the Presence of Allahazwj the High, and the best Recompense and the Return. Allahazwj did not Make the world to be for the pious ones as a form of Reward, and what is in the Possession of Allahazwj is better for the righteous.

انْظُرُوا أَهْلَ دِينِ اللَّهِ فِيمَا أَصَبْتُمْ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ تَرَكْتُمْ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ جَاهَدْتُمْ بِهِ فِي ذَاتِ اللَّهِ أَ بِحَسَبٍ أَمْ بِنَسَبٍ أَمْ بِعَمَلٍ أَمْ بِطَاعَةٍ أَمْ زَهَادَةٍ وَ فِيمَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ رَاغِبِينَ فَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَنَازِلِكُمْ رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّتِي أُمِرْتُمْ بِعِمَارَتِهَا الْعَامِرَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَخْرَبُ الْبَاقِيَةِ الَّتِي لَا تَنْفَدُ الَّتِي دَعَاكُمْ إِلَيْهَا وَ حَضَّكُمْ عَلَيْهَا وَ رَغَّبَكُمْ فِيهَا وَ جَعَلَ الثَّوَابَ عِنْدَهُ عَنْهَا

People of the religion of Allahazwj! Consider what you find in the Book of Allahazwj and what you leave in the presence of the Rasool Allahsaww and what you have been striving by for the Sake of Allahazwj, either by nobility, or by lineage, or by deeds, or by obedience, or devotion, and regarding what you were interested in. So rush to your destinations, may Allahazwj have mercy upon you, which you have been Commanded to construct. Assets, which will not spoil and will remain, and will not diminish. The dwellings to which you have received invitations for, and are being encouraged to acquire, and recommended to be interested in, and the Rewards are Made to be in Hisazwj Presence.

فَاسْتَتِمُّوا نِعَمَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ لِقَضَائِهِ وَ الشُّكْرِ عَلَى نَعْمَائِهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِهَذَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا وَ لَا إِلَيْنَا وَ إِنَّ الْحَاكِمَ يَحْكُمُ بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا خَشْيَةَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ [وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ وَ لَا وَحْشَةَ وَ أُولَئِكَ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ]

So seek the completion of the Bounties of Allahazwj by the submission to Hisazwj Judgement, and the appreciation for Hisazwj Favours. The one, who is unhappy with this, is not from usasws, nor is he to usasws. The rulers who judge by the Judgement of Allahazwj, without being anxious from that, those are the successful ones’. (And in another copy: ‘They are not anxious, and those are the ones who have no fear upon them, nor shall they grieve’).

وَ قَالَ وَ قَدْ عَاتَبْتُكُمْ بِدِرَّتِيَ الَّتِي أُعَاتِبُ بِهَا أَهْلِي فَلَمْ تُبَالُوا وَ ضَرَبْتُكُمْ بِسَوْطِيَ الَّذِي أُقِيمُ بِهِ حُدُودَ رَبِّي فَلَمْ تَرْعَوُوا أَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَضْرِبَكُمْ بِسَيْفِي أَمَا إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ الَّذِي تُرِيدُونَ وَ يُقِيمُ أَوَدَكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ لَا أَشْتَرِي صَلَاحَكُمْ بِفَسَادِ نَفْسِي بَلْ يُسَلِّطُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ قَوْماً فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِي مِنْكُمْ فَلَا دُنْيَا اسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِهَا وَ لَا آخِرَةَ صِرْتُمْ إِلَيْهَا فَبُعْداً وَ سُحْقاً لِأَصْحَابِ السَّعِيرِ.

And heasws said: ‘And Iasws will discipline you with myasws whip which I discipline myasws family with, so do not worry, and Iasws will be striking you by my whip by which Iasws establish the Limits of myasws Lordazwj. So do not be scared. Do you want that Iasws should strike you by myasws sword? But rather, Iasws am more knowing of that which you want, and how to straighten your unevenness. But, Iasws will not buy your correction in exchange for spoiling myselfasws. However, Allahazwj will Make a people to overcome you and will exact myasws Revenge from you all. So you will have no world that you can enjoy in, and no Hereafter that you can look forward to. Thus, remote and crushed are the companions of the blazing Fire’.

14999- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلَهُ حُمْرَانُ فَقَالَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا مَتَى يَكُونُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فَسُرِرْنَا بِهِ

H 14999 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, together from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel, from Zurara, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws said, ‘Humran asked himasws, ‘May Allahazwj Make me to be sacrificed for youasws! If youasws were to narrate to us when this Matter (Al-Qaimasws) is to take place, it would make us happy’.

فَقَالَ يَا حُمْرَانُ إِنَّ لَكَ أَصْدِقَاءَ وَ إِخْوَاناً وَ مَعَارِفَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ فِيمَا مَضَى مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ ابْنٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَرْغَبُ فِي عِلْمِ أَبِيهِ وَ لَا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ كَانَ لَهُ جَارٌ يَأْتِيهِ وَ يَسْأَلُهُ وَ يَأْخُذُ عَنْهُ فَحَضَرَ الرَّجُلَ الْمَوْتُ فَدَعَا ابْنَهُ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ تَزْهَدُ فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَ تَقِلُّ رَغْبَتُكَ فِيهِ وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لِي جَارٌ قَدْ كَانَ يَأْتِينِي وَ يَسْأَلُنِي وَ يَأْخُذُ مِنِّي وَ يَحْفَظُ عَنِّي فَإِنِ احْتَجْتَ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَأْتِهِ وَ عَرَّفَهُ جَارَهُ فَهَلَكَ الرَّجُلُ وَ بَقِيَ ابْنُهُ

Heasws said: ‘O Humran! You have friends, and brothers, and people whom you know. There used to be a scholar in the past, and he had a son who was never interested in the knowledge of his father, and did not ask him about anything, and they had a neighbour who used to come over and ask him, and take (knowledge) from him. The death presented itself to the man, so he called his son and said, ‘O my son! You have kept yourself away from what was in my possession, and had very little interest in it, and you never used to ask me about anything, whilst I had a neighbour who used to come to me, and ask me, and take (knowledge) from me, and memorise it from me. So now if you ever need anything, go to him. He introduced his neighbour to him. The man died, and his son remained.

فَرَأَى مَلِكُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ رُؤْيَا فَسَأَلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ هَلَكَ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ هَلْ تَرَكَ وَلَداً فَقِيلَ لَهُ نَعَمْ تَرَكَ ابْناً فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِهِ فَبُعِثَ إِلَيْهِ لِيَأْتِيَ الْمَلِكَ فَقَالَ الْغُلَامُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي لِمَا يَدْعُونِي الْمَلِكُ وَ مَا عِنْدِي عِلْمٌ وَ لَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَأَفْتَضِحَنَّ فَذَكَرَ مَا كَانَ أَوْصَاهُ أَبُوهُ بِهِ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ يَسْأَلُنِي وَ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي فِيمَ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ وَ قَدْ كَانَ أَبِي أَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَكَ إِنِ احْتَجْتُ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَ لَكِنِّي أَدْرِي فِيمَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ فَمَا أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَهُوَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ

The king of that era saw a dream, so he asked around for the man. It was said to him that he had died. So the king said, ‘Did he leave a son?’ It was said to him, ‘Yes, he left a son’. So he said, ‘Bring him to me’. They went to him in order to bring him to the king. The boy said, ‘By Allahazwj, I do not know why the king has called me, and there is no knowledge with me, and if he were to ask me about something, I would be disgraced’. He remembered what his father has bequeathed to him, so he came to the man who used to take the knowledge from his father. He said to him, ‘The king has sent for me to ask me, and I do not know why he has sent for me, and my father had ordered me that I should come to you if I ever have a need for anything’. The man said, ‘But I know very well with regards to what he has sent for you. So, if I were to inform you, then whatsoever that Allahazwj Brings out to you, so it would be (divided) between you and me’. He said, ‘Yes’.

فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ وَ اسْتَوْثَقَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَفِيَ لَهُ فَأَوْثَقَ لَهُ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَآهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقُلْ لَهُ هَذَا زَمَانُ الذِّئْبِ فَأَتَاهُ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ هَلْ تَدْرِي لِمَ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَأَيْتَهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ زَمَانُ الذِّئْبِ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِجَائِزَةٍ فَقَبَضَهَا الْغُلَامُ وَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ أَبَى أَنْ يَفِيَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَ قَالَ لَعَلِّي لَا أُنْفِدُ هَذَا الْمَالَ وَ لَا آكُلُهُ حَتَّى أَهْلِكَ وَ لَعَلِّي لَا أَحْتَاجُ وَ لَا أُسْأَلُ عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا الَّذِي سُئِلْتُ عَنْهُ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ

He took an oath from him and made a binding agreement with the boy. He said, ‘He wants to ask you about a dream that he saw, as to which era it relates to? So you should say to him, ‘This is the era of the wolf’. The boy went to him, and the king said to him, ‘Do you know why I sent for you?’ He said, ‘You sent for me intending to ask me about a dream that you saw, as to which era it relates to’. The king said, ‘You speak the truth, so inform me as to which era it relates to’. He said to him, ‘The era of the wolf’. So he ordered for an award to be given to him, and the boy grabbed it and left to go to his house. He refused to be loyal to his companion and said (to himself), ‘I will not hand over this wealth, and will consume it until I die, and there is no need for me, nor will I ever have to ask him about anything similar to what I have already asked him’. So that (situation) prevailed for as long as Allahazwj Desired it to.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ يَدْعُوهُ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعَ وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي عِلْمٌ آتِيهِ بِهِ وَ مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِصَاحِبِي وَ قَدْ غَدَرْتُ بِهِ وَ لَمْ أَفِ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لآَتِيَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ لَأَعْتَذِرَنَّ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَأَحْلِفَنَّ لَهُ فَلَعَلَّهُ يُخْبِرُنِي فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي قَدْ صَنَعْتُ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ وَ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِمَا كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ وَ تَفَرَّقَ مَا كَانَ فِي يَدِي وَ قَدِ احْتَجْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَأَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ أَنْ لَا تَخْذُلَنِي وَ أَنَا أُوثِقُ لَكَ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ لِي شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلَّا كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ وَ قَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ الْمَلِكُ وَ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي عَمَّا يَسْأَلُنِي

Then the king saw (another) dream, so he sent for the boy. He regretted at what he had done and said, ‘By Allahazwj, there is no knowledge with me that I can give, and I do not know how to deal with my companion, and I have betrayed him, and never apologised to him’. Then said, ‘Let me go to him in any case and present excuses to him, hopefully he will inform me’. So he came and said to him, ‘I have done what I have done, and never apologised to you for what happened between I and you, and that which was in my hands has gone, and I have now got a need from you’. So adjure me to Allahazwj and do not abandon me, and I am a reliable one for you, that nothing will be given to me except that it would be (divided) between you and me. And the king has sent for me and I do not know what he will be asking me’.

فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَآهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْكَبْشِ فَأَتَى الْمَلِكَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ رُؤْيَا وَ إِنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْكَبْشِ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصِلَةٍ فَقَبَضَهَا وَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ تَدَبَّرَ فِي رَأْيِهِ فِي أَنْ يَفِيَ لِصَاحِبِهِ أَوْ لَا يَفِيَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ مَرَّةً أَنْ يَفْعَلَ وَ مَرَّةً أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَلِّي أَنْ لَا أَحْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ أَبَداً وَ أَجْمَعَ رَأْيَهُ عَلَى الْغَدْرِ وَ تَرْكِ الْوَفَاءِ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ

So he said, ‘He intends to ask you about a dream he saw, as to which era it relates to, so say to him, ‘It is for the era of the ram’. So he went to the king who said, ‘Do you know why I have sent for you?’ He said, ‘You saw a dream and you want to ask me as to which era it relates to’. So he said to him, ‘You have spoken the truth, so tell me which era this is for?’ He said, ‘This is for the era of the ram’. So he ordered a reward for him. The boy grabbed it and left for his house, and he was pondering whether he should be loyal to his companion, or whether he should not be loyal to him. Sometimes he thought that he should do it, sometimes he thought that he should not do it. Then he said (to himself), ‘I will have no need for him anymore after this time ever’, and opted for the betrayal and leave the loyalty. So that (situation) prevailed for as long as Allahazwj Desired it to.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ صَاحِبِهِ وَ قَالَ بَعْدَ غَدْرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ وَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي عِلْمٌ ثُمَّ أَجْمَعَ رَأْيَهُ عَلَى إِتْيَانِ الرَّجُلِ فَأَتَاهُ فَنَاشَدَهُ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ وَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ يَفِي مِنْهُ وَ أَوْثَقَ لَهُ وَ قَالَ لَا تَدَعْنِي عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَعُودُ إِلَى الْغَدْرِ وَ سَأَفِي لَكَ فَاسْتَوْثَقَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَدْعُوكَ يَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَآهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ زَمَانُ الْمِيزَانِ

Then the king saw (another) dream, so he sent for him. He regretted at what he had done regarding what was between himself and his companion and said (to himself), ‘I have betrayed him twice, how shall I face him, and there is no knowledge with me. Then he decided on going to the man, and came up to him. So he swore upon Allahazwj Blessed and High, and asked him to let him know and inform him, and that this time he would be loyal to him, and be a trustworthy to him, and said, ‘Do not leave me upon this condition, for I will not return to the betrayal, and will be loyal to you. So he took an agreement from him. He said, ‘He has called you to ask you about a dream he saw, as to which era it relates to. So when he questions you, inform him that it is for the era of the scale (balance)’.

قَالَ فَأَتَى الْمَلِكَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ لِمَ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ رُؤْيَا وَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْمِيزَانِ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصِلَةٍ فَقَبَضَهَا وَ انْطَلَقَ بِهَا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَوَضَعَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ بِمَا خَرَجَ لِي فَقَاسِمْنِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَالِمُ إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ الْأَوَّلَ كَانَ زَمَانَ الذِّئْبِ وَ إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ مِنَ الذِّئَابِ وَ إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ الثَّانِيَ كَانَ زَمَانَ الْكَبْشِ يَهُمُّ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ وَ كَذَلِكَ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ تَهُمُّ وَ لَا تَفِي وَ كَانَ هَذَا زَمَانَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ كُنْتَ فِيهِ عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ فَاقْبِضْ مَالَكَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ وَ رَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ.

Heasws said: ‘So he came up to the king who said to him, ‘Do you know why I have sent for you?’ He said, ‘You have seen a dream and intend to ask me as to which era it relates to’. He said, ‘You have spoken the truth, so tell me which era this is for?’ He said, ‘This is for the era of the scale’. So he ordered a reward for him. The boy grabbed the reward and went with it to the man and placed it in front of him and said, ‘I have come to you with whatever was given to me, so divided it equally’. So the scholar said to him, ‘The first period was like the era of the wolf, and you were from the wolves. And the second period was the era of the ram which thinks but does not do it, and similarly you were thinking about it but were not loyal. And this period is the era of the scale, and you were, with regards to it, upon the loyalty. So grab your wealth for I have no need for it’. And he returned it back to him’.

H 15000 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Taymi, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Ja’far who said, ‘Narrated to me Moattab, or someone else, who said:

‘Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan sent a message to Abu Abdullahasws saying, ‘Abu Muhammad says to youasws, ‘I am braver than youasws, and I am more generous than youasws, and I am more knowledgeable than youasws’. So heasws said to his messenger: ‘As for the bravery, by Allahazwj there has not been an incident whereby your cowardice can be distinguished from your bravery. And as for the generosity, so it is taking something and placing it in its rightful place. And as for the knowledge, your forefather Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws had freed a thousand slaves, therefore name five of them for usasws if you are a knowledgeable one’. So the messenger returned to him. He told him, then he returned back to himasws saying, ‘He is saying to youasws, that youasws are a man of Books’. So Abu Abdullahasws said to him; ‘Tell him, ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, the Books of Ibrahimas, and Musaas, and Isaas, which Iasws have inherited from myasws forefathersasws’.

H 15001 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar Al-Yamani, from the one whom he mentioned:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[10:2] and give the good news to the Believers that they have before their Lord the lofty rank of truth”, so heasws said: ‘Hesaww (Good News) is the Messengersaww of Allahazwj’.

H 15002 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al-Kahily, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[10:101] and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”. Heasws said: ‘When ascension took place with the Messengersaww of Allahazwj, Jibraeel came up to himsaww with Al-Buraaq (the ride). So hesaww rode on it and came to Bayt Al-Maqdas (Jerusalem). So hesaww met the ones whom hesaww met from hissaww brothers from the Prophetsas. Then hesaww returned and narrated it to hissaww companions, ‘Isaww came to Bayt Al-Maqdas, and returned during the night. Jibraeel came to mesaww with Al-Buraaq, so Isaww rode upon it, and the sign of that is that Isaww passed by the camels of Abu Sufyan being watered at the watering hole of the clan of so and so. A red camel of theirs had strayed and the group were looking for it.

فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ الشَّامَ وَ هُوَ رَاكِبٌ سَرِيعٌ وَ لَكِنَّكُمْ قَدْ أَتَيْتُمُ الشَّامَ وَ عَرَفْتُمُوهَا فَسَلُوهُ عَنْ أَسْوَاقِهَا وَ أَبْوَابِهَا وَ تُجَّارِهَا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ الشَّامُ وَ كَيْفَ أَسْوَاقُهَا قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) إِذَا سُئِلَ عَنِ الشَّيْ‏ءِ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ شُقَّ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يُرَى ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ الشَّامُ قَدْ رُفِعَتْ لَكَ فَالْتَفَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَإِذَا هُوَ بِالشَّامِ بِأَبْوَابِهَا وَ أَسْوَاقِهَا وَ تُجَّارِهَا

So some of them said to the others, ‘But rather hesaww went to Syria whilst riding at speed whereas you have been to Syria and recognise it. So ask himsaww about its markets, and its doors, and its businessmen’. So they said, ‘O Messengersaww of Allahazwj, how is Syria, and how are its markets?’ Heasws said: ‘The Messengersaww, when asked about something that hesaww did not recognise, hesaww would not describe it until after seeing it in front of himsaww. So when they were in the middle of that, Jibraeel came up to himsaww and said: ‘O Rasool Allahsaww, this here is Syria which has been raised for yousaww!’ So the Rasool Allahsaww turned and visualised Syria, with its doors, and its markets, and its businessmen’.

فَقَالَ أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ الشَّامِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ فَأَجَابَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي كُلِّ مَا سَأَلُوهُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يُؤْمِنْ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ ما تُغْنِي الْآياتُ وَ النُّذُرُ عَنْ قَوْمٍ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ لَا نُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله).

So hesaww said: ‘Where are the questioners about Syria?’ So they said to himsaww, ‘It is so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So the Rasool Allahsaww answered them with regards to all of what they asked from himsaww. Even then they did not believe from among them, except for a few, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Blessed and High: “[10:101] and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”. Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Weasws seek Refuge with Allahazwj from disbelief in Allahazwj and in Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. Weasws believe in Allahazwj and in Hisazwj Messengersaww’.

15003- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ التَّيْمِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِذَا قَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُ لِأَخِيهِ أُفٍّ خَرَجَ مِنْ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ إِذَا قَالَ أَنْتَ عَدُوِّي كَفَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَمَلًا فِي تَثْرِيبٍ عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ نَصِيحَةً وَ لَا يَقْبَلُ مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ عَمَلًا وَ هُوَ يُضْمِرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ سُوءاً

H 15003 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Hasan Al-Taymi, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Zurara, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘When the believers says to his brother, ‘Uff!’ he comes out from his guardianship. If he says, ‘You are my enemy’, one of the two has blasphemed, because Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic does not Accept the deeds from anyone during the reproach of a Believer, and does not Accept from a Believer any deeds whilst he harbours evil in his heart against a Believer.

لَوْ كُشِفَ الْغِطَاءُ عَنِ النَّاسِ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَى وَصْلِ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِ خَضَعَتْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِقَابُهُمْ وَ تَسَهَّلَتْ لَهُمْ أُمُورُهُمْ وَ لَانَتْ لَهُمْ طَاعَتُهُمْ وَ لَوْ نَظَرُوا إِلَى مَرْدُودِ الْأَعْمَالِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَقَالُوا مَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ أَحَدٍ عَمَلًا

If the covering is Lifted from the people, so they will see to the Means of what is between Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and the Believers. Their necks would become submissive to the Believers, and their matters would become easier for them and they would be obedient to them. And if they were to look at the deeds rejected by Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, they would say, ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic does not Accept the deeds from anybody’.

وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنَةٍ حَوْرَاءُ عَيْنَاءُ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ

And I (the narrator) heard himasws say to a man from the Shites: ‘You all are the good ones, and your women are the good ones. Every Believing woman is a beautiful Hourie, and every believing man is a truthful one’.

قَالَ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ شِيعَتُنَا أَقْرَبُ الْخَلْقِ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَعْدَنَا وَ مَا مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا أَحَدٌ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا اكْتَنَفَتْهُ فِيهَا عَدَدَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةً حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَ إِنَّ الصَّائِمَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَرْتَعُ فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard himasws saying: ‘Ourasws Shites would be the closest of the creatures to the Throne of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Judgement after usasws. And there is no one from ourasws Shites who stand to Pray except that the number of Angels equal to the ones opposed to him Pray for him in congregation for him until he is free from his Salat (Prayer). And the one from among you who Fasts will be enjoying in the Gardens of the Paradise, and the Angels prepare it for him until he breaks the Fast’.

وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ تَحِيَّةِ اللَّهِ بِسَلَامِهِ وَ أَهْلُ أُثْرَةِ اللَّهِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ تَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ بِعِصْمَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ دَعْوَةِ اللَّهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ لَا حِسَابٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا خَوْفٌ وَ لَا حُزْنٌ أَنْتُمْ لِلْجَنَّةِ وَ الْجَنَّةُ لَكُمْ أَسْمَاؤُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا الصَّالِحُونَ وَ الْمُصْلِحُونَ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ الرِّضَا عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِرِضَاهُ عَنْكُمْ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الْخَيْرِ فَإِذَا جُهِدْتُمُ ادْعُوا وَ إِذَا غَفَلْتُمُ اجْهَدُوا وَ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ دِيَارُكُمْ لَكُمْ جَنَّةٌ وَ قُبُورُكُمْ لَكُمْ جَنَّةٌ لِلْجَنَّةِ خُلِقْتُمْ وَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نَعِيمُكُمْ وَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ تَصِيرُونَ.

And I (the narrator) heard himasws saying: ‘You (Shites) are the people Greeted by the Greetings of Allahazwj, and the people Impacted by the Mercy of Allahazwj, and the people Guided by the Protection of Allahazwj, and the people Invited by Allahazwj for being obedient to Himazwj. There is no Accounting for you (Shites), and no fear, and no grief. You are all for the Paradise and the Paradise is for you all. Your names (titles) in ourasws presence are, ‘the righteous’, and ‘the reformers’. And you are the people of the Pleasure of Allahazwj, Himazwj being Pleased with you, and the Angels are your brothers in the good. So if you are striving, they supplicate for you, and if you are in neglect, they strive for you. And you are the best of the created beings. Your houses are gardens for your (living ones), and the graves are the garden for your (deceased). It is for the Paradise that you have been created, and it is in the Paradise that you will be Favoured by, and it is to the Paradise that you are travelling to’.

H 15004 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al-Nahdy, from Muhammad Bin Al-Waleed, from Aban Bin Usman, from Al-Fazeyl, who has said the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said to Ja’faras when heas came back from Ethiopia; ‘Which was the most astonishing thing from what youas saw?’ Heas said; ‘I saw an Ethiopian woman pass by and upon her head was a load. So a man passed by her and bumped into her, and the load fell from her head. She sat down, then said, ‘Woe be unto you from the Judge on the Day of Reckoning, when Heazwj will Sit upon the Chair, and Take for the oppressed, from the oppressors’. So the Rasool Allahsaww was (pleased with) astonishing (tale)’.

15005- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ آزَرَ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) كَانَ مُنَجِّماً لِنُمْرُودَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَصْدُرُ إِلَّا عَنْ أَمْرِهِ فَنَظَرَ لَيْلَةً فِي النُّجُومِ فَأَصْبَحَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لِنُمْرُودَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ عَجَباً قَالَ وَ مَا هُوَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ مَوْلُوداً يُولَدُ فِي أَرْضِنَا يَكُونُ هَلَاكُنَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ لَا يَلْبَثُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى يُحْمَلَ بِهِ

H 15005 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin salim, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaz, from Abu Baseer, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws having said that: ‘Azar, the father of Ibrahimas was an astrologer for Nimrodla and hela never passed a law except after seeking his advice. So he looked at the stars one night, and in the morning he said to Nimrodla, ‘I have seen something strange’. Hela said, ‘And what is it?’ He said, ‘I saw a newborn being born in our land. Our destruction will be by hisas hands. It will not be long after himas being conceived’.

قَالَ فَتَعَجَّبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ هَلْ حَمَلَتْ بِهِ النِّسَاءُ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَحَجَبَ النِّسَاءَ عَنِ الرِّجَالِ فَلَمْ يَدَعِ امْرَأَةً إِلَّا جَعَلَهَا فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لَا يُخْلَصُ إِلَيْهَا وَ وَقَعَ آزَرُ بِأَهْلِهِ فَعَلِقَتْ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) فَظَنَّ أَنَّهُ صَاحِبُهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى نِسَاءٍ مِنَ الْقَوَابِلِ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ لَا يَكُونُ فِي الرَّحِمِ شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلَّا عَلِمْنَ بِهِ فَنَظَرْنَ فَأَلْزَمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا فِي الرَّحِمِ إِلَى الظَّهْرِ فَقُلْنَ مَا نَرَى فِي بَطْنِهَا شَيْئاً وَ كَانَ فِيمَا أُوتِيَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ سَيُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ وَ لَمْ يُؤْتَ عِلْمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى سَيُنْجِيهِ

So hela was astounded by that and said, ‘Has the woman fallen pregnant with himas yet?’ He said, ‘Not yet’. So hela separated the women from the men. Hela did not leave a single woman except that hela made her to be in the city, with no man being allowed to be alone with her. Azar copulated with his wife and Ibrahimas was conceived. He thought that heas might be the one. So he sent for the women from the midwives of that time, that if there is anything in her womb they should notify him. They examined her. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made what was in her womb to be transferred to the back. So they said, ‘We did not see anything in her tummy’. And what was in his knowledge was that heas would be burnt by the fire, and did not know that Allahazwj the High would be Rescuing himas’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْ أُمُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَرَادَ آزَرُ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى نُمْرُودَ لِيَقْتُلَهُ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ لَا تَذْهَبْ بِابْنِكَ إِلَى نُمْرُودَ فَيَقْتُلَهُ دَعْنِي أَذْهَبْ بِهِ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْغِيرَانِ أَجْعَلْهُ فِيهِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ أَجَلُهُ وَ لَا تَكُونَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقْتُلُ ابْنَكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا فَامْضِي بِهِ قَالَ فَذَهَبَتْ بِهِ إِلَى غَارٍ ثُمَّ أَرْضَعَتْهُ ثُمَّ جَعَلَتْ عَلَى بَابِ الْغَارِ صَخْرَةً ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتْ عَنْهُ

Heasws said: ‘So when the mother of Ibrahimas gave birth to himas, Azar wanted to go with himas to Nimrodla to be killed. So his wife said to him, ‘Do not go with your sonas to Nimrodla for hela will kill himas. I shall go with himas to one of the caves and leave himas there until hisas death comes to himas, and you will not become the one to have killed your own son’. So he said to her, ‘Take himas’. So she went with himas to a cave, then placed himas in it, and placed a rock to block the entrance of the cave. Then she left himas.

قَالَ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رِزْقَهُ فِي إِبْهَامِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَمَصُّهَا فَيَشْخُبُ لَبَنُهَا وَ جَعَلَ يَشِبُّ فِي الْيَوْمِ كَمَا يَشِبُّ غَيْرُهُ فِي الْجُمْعَةِ وَ يَشِبُّ فِي الْجُمْعَةِ كَمَا يَشِبُّ غَيْرُهُ فِي الشَّهْرِ وَ يَشِبُّ فِي الشَّهْرِ كَمَا يَشِبُّ غَيْرُهُ فِي السَّنَةِ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَمْكُثَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ أُمَّهُ قَالَتْ لِأَبِيهِ لَوْ أَذِنْتَ لِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ الصَّبِيِّ فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَافْعَلِي فَذَهَبَتْ فَإِذَا هِيَ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ إِذَا عَيْنَاهُ تَزْهَرَانِ كَأَنَّهُمَا سِرَاجَانِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَتْهُ فَضَمَّتْهُ إِلَى صَدْرِهَا وَ أَرْضَعَتْهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتْ عَنْهُ

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made hisas sustenance to be in hisas thumb. Heas would suck it and milk would flow from it. Heas grew in a day like others grow in a week, and grew in a week like others grow in a month, and grew in a month like others grow in a year. So that situation remained for as long as Allahazwj Desired it to remain. Then hisas mother said to hisas father, ‘If you allow me, I shall go to that child’. So he allowed her. So she went there and there was Ibrahimas. Hisas eyes lit up like two lanterns. She grabbed himas and pressed himas to her bosom, and fed himas. Then she left him there.

فَسَأَلَهَا آزَرُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ وَارَيْتُهُ فِي التُّرَابِ فَمَكَثَتْ تَفْعَلُ فَتَخْرُجُ فِي الْحَاجَةِ وَ تَذْهَبُ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) فَتَضُمُّهُ إِلَيْهَا وَ تُرْضِعُهُ ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُ فَلَمَّا تَحَرَّكَ أَتَتْهُ كَمَا كَانَتْ تَأْتِيهِ فَصَنَعَتْ بِهِ كَمَا كَانَتْ تَصْنَعُ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَتِ الِانْصِرَافَ أَخَذَ بِثَوْبِهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ مَا لَكَ فَقَالَ لَهَا اذْهَبِي بِي مَعَكِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ حَتَّى أَسْتَأْمِرَ أَبَاكَ

Azar asked her about himas, so she said, ‘I have hidden (buried) him in the soil’. She waited, and she would come out for her need, and go to Ibrahimas, hold himas to her bosom, feed himas, and leave himas. So when heas started moving, she would still come to himas and do as she had done before. So when she wanted to leave, heas grabbed her robe. She said to himas, ‘What is the matter?’ Heas said to her: ‘Take meas with you’. She said, ‘Not until your father orders me to’.

قَالَ فَأَتَتْ أُمُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) آزَرَ فَأَعْلَمَتْهُ الْقِصَّةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا ائْتِينِي بِهِ فَأَقْعِدِيهِ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَإِذَا مَرَّ بِهِ إِخْوَتُهُ دَخَلَ مَعَهُمْ وَ لَا يُعْرَفُ قَالَ وَ كَانَ إِخْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) يَعْمَلُونَ الْأَصْنَامَ وَ يَذْهَبُونَ بِهَا إِلَى الْأَسْوَاقِ وَ يَبِيعُونَهَا قَالَ فَذَهَبَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ حَتَّى أَقْعَدَتْهُ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ وَ مَرَّ إِخْوَتُهُ فَدَخَلَ مَعَهُمْ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُوهُ وَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَحَبَّةُ مِنْهُ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Heasws said: ‘The mother of Ibrahimas came to Azar. She related to him the story. He said to her, ‘Bring himas to me. Make himas to be seated upon the road, so when hisas brothers pass by, make himas enter with them, and heas will not be noticed’. Heasws said: ‘And the brothers of Ibrahimas used to carve the idols and would go with these to the markets and sell them. So she went to himas, and came with himas until she made himas to sit upon the road. And hisas brothers passed by, heas entered with them. So when hisas father saw himas, he was overwhelmed with the love for himas. And so the situation remained as such for as long as Allahazwj Desired it to’.

قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا إِخْوَتُهُ يَعْمَلُونَ يَوْماً مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ الْأَصْنَامَ إِذَا أَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) الْقَدُومَ وَ أَخَذَ خَشَبَةً فَنَجَرَ مِنْهَا صَنَماً لَمْ يَرَوْا قَطُّ مِثْلَهُ فَقَالَ آزَرُ لِأُمِّهِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ نُصِيبَ خَيْراً بِبَرَكَةِ ابْنِكِ هَذَا قَالَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ الْقَدُومَ فَكَسَرَ الصَّنَمَ الَّذِي عَمِلَهُ فَفَزِعَ أَبُوهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَزَعاً شَدِيداً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَمِلْتَ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) وَ مَا تَصْنَعُونَ بِهِ فَقَالَ آزَرُ نَعْبُدُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَ تَعْبُدُونَ ما تَنْحِتُونَ فَقَالَ آزَرُ لِأُمِّهِ هَذَا الَّذِي يَكُونُ ذَهَابُ مُلْكِنَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ.

Heasws said; ‘One day from the days during which, hisas brothers were in the middle of carving the idols, Ibrahimas took the tool, and took a piece of wood, and carved such an idol from it the like of which they had never seen before at all. So Azar said to hisas mother, ‘I hope that we receive good luck from the blessings of this sonas of yours’. Heasws said; ‘So when they were in the middle of that, Ibrahimas grabbed hold of the tool and broke the idol which heas had carved. So hisas father got scared and was overcome with severe panic. He said to himas, ‘What would youas have done with it?’ Ibrahimas said to him: ‘And what would you have done with it?’ Azar said, ‘People would have worshipped it’. So Ibrahimas said to him: ‘Are you worshipping what you yourself have carved?’ So Azar said to hisas mother, ‘This is the one due to whom our kingdom would go away, by hisas hands’.

15006- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حُجْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ خَالَفَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) قَوْمَهُ وَ عَابَ آلِهَتَهُمْ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَ عَلَى نُمْرُودَ فَخَاصَمَهُ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) رَبِّيَ الَّذِي يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ قالَ أَنَا أُحْيِي وَ أُمِيتُ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْتِي بِالشَّمْسِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ فَأْتِ بِها مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَبُهِتَ الَّذِي كَفَرَ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

H 15006 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aban Bin usman, from Hujr, who has said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘Ibrahimas opposed hisas people, and faulted their gods until he was brought to Nimrodla to contend with himla. So Ibrahimas said: “[2:258] My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people”.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَابَ آلِهَتَهُمْ فَنَظَرَ نَظْرَةً فِي النُّجُومِ فَقالَ إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ سَقِيماً وَ مَا كَذَبَ فَلَمَّا تَوَلَّوْا عَنْهُ مُدْبِرِينَ إِلَى عِيدٍ لَهُمْ دَخَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ بِقَدُومٍ فَكَسَرَهَا إِلَّا كَبِيراً لَهُمْ وَ وَضَعَ الْقَدُومَ فِي عُنُقِهِ فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى آلِهَتِهِمْ فَنَظَرُوا إِلَى مَا صُنِعَ بِهَا فَقَالُوا لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا اجْتَرَأَ عَلَيْهَا وَ لَا كَسَرَهَا إِلَّا الْفَتَى الَّذِي كَانَ يَعِيبُهَا وَ يَبْرَأُ مِنْهَا

And Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Heas faulted their gods, “[37:88] And he glanced a glance at the stars [37:89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick!” Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, heas was not sick, nor did heas lie. So when they turned away from himas to attend to their festivities, Ibrahimas came to their gods with an axe and broke them, except for the big one of theirs, and placed the axe around its neck. They came back to their gods and saw what had happened to them, so they said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, no one has the audacity to break these except for the young manas who had faulted these and keeps away from them’.

فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا لَهُ قِتْلَةً أَعْظَمَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَجُمِعَ لَهُ الْحَطَبُ وَ اسْتَجَادُوهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي يُحْرَقُ فِيهِ بَرَزَ لَهُ نُمْرُودُ وَ جُنُودُهُ وَ قَدْ بُنِيَ لَهُ بِنَاءٌ لِيَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ كَيْفَ تَأْخُذُهُ النَّارُ وَ وُضِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فِي مَنْجَنِيقٍ وَ قَالَتِ الْأَرْضُ يَا رَبِّ لَيْسَ عَلَى ظَهْرِي أَحَدٌ يَعْبُدُكَ غَيْرُهُ يُحْرَقُ بِالنَّارِ قَالَ الرَّبُّ إِنْ دَعَانِي كَفَيْتُهُ

So they did not find for himas a manner of killing more severe than the fire. They gathered the firewood, and fuelled it. When it came to the day in which heas was to be burnt, Nimordla and hisla army came out, and there had been built for them a building to look at himas from above to see how the fire would grab hold of himas. And they placed Ibrahimas in a catapult, and the earth cried out: ‘O Lordazwj! There is none upon my back who worships Youazwj apart from himas who is being burnt by the fire’. The Lordazwj Said: “If heas supplicates to Meazwj, Iazwj shall Suffice for himas’. 

فَذَكَرَ أَبَانٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ دُعَاءَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) يَوْمَئِذٍ كَانَ يَا أَحَدُ [يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ] يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَقَالَ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَفَيْتُ

Aban has mentioned, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from the one who reported it, from Abu Ja’farasws that: ‘The supplication of Ibrahimas on that day was: ‘O One! O Everlasting! O Everlasting! O One Who does not beget nor is He Begotten, and there is none comparable to Him!’ Then heas said: ‘Ias rely upon Allahazwj’. So the Lordazwj Blessed and High Said: “Iazwj shall Suffice for youas”.

فَقَالَ لِلنَّارِ كُونِي بَرْداً قَالَ فَاضْطَرَبَتْ أَسْنَانُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) مِنَ الْبَرْدِ حَتَّى قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَلاماً عَلى إِبْراهِيمَ وَ انْحَطَّ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) وَ إِذَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) يُحَدِّثُهُ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ نُمْرُودُ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلَهاً فَلْيَتَّخِذْ مِثْلَ إِلَهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

So the fire said: ‘Make me to be cold’. Heasws said: ‘The teeth of Ibrahim chattered from the cold until Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Safety upon Ibrahimas”. And Jibraeel descended, and he was seated with Ibrahimas talking to himas in the fire. Nimrodla said, ‘When you take a god, you should take a god similar to that of the God of Ibrahimas’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ عَظِيمٌ مِنْ عُظَمَائِهِمْ إِنِّي عَزَمْتُ عَلَى النَّارِ أَنْ لَا تُحْرِقَهُ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ نَحْوَهُ حَتَّى أَحْرَقَهُ

Heasws said; ‘So a great one from their great ones said, ‘It was I who intended that the fire should not burn himas’. So a huge flame shot out from the fire at him until it incinerated him’.

قَالَ فَآمَنَ لَهُ لُوطٌ وَ خَرَجَ مُهَاجِراً إِلَى الشَّامِ هُوَ وَ سَارَةُ وَ لُوطٌ.

Heasws said: ‘Lutas believed in himas, and went out as an emigrant to Syria – himas, and Sarahas and Lutas’.

15007- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ الْكَرْخِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) كَانَ مَوْلِدُهُ بِكُوثَى رُبَا وَ كَانَ أَبُوهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا وَ كَانَتْ أُمُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ أُمُّ لُوطٍ سَارَةَ وَ وَرَقَةَ وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ رُقَيَّةَ أُخْتَيْنِ وَ هُمَا ابْنَتَانِ لِلَاحِجٍ وَ كَانَ اللَّاحِجُ نَبِيّاً مُنْذِراً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولًا وَ كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فِي شَبِيبَتِهِ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْخَلْقَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى هَدَاهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى دِينِهِ وَ اجْتَبَاهُ وَ إِنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ سَارَةَ ابْنَةَ لَاحِجٍ وَ هِيَ ابْنَةُ خَالَتِهِ وَ كَانَتْ سَارَةُ صَاحِبَةَ مَاشِيَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَ أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةٍ وَ حَالٍ حَسَنَةٍ وَ كَانَتْ قَدْ مَلَّكَتْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) جَمِيعَ مَا كَانَتْ تَمْلِكُهُ فَقَامَ فِيهِ وَ أَصْلَحَهُ وَ كَثُرَتِ الْمَاشِيَةُ وَ الزَّرْعُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ كُوثَى رُبَا رَجُلٌ أَحْسَنُ حَالًا مِنْهُ

H 15007 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, together from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Ziyad Al-Karkhy who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that: ‘Ibrahimas was born at Kowsy Ruba, and hisas father was from its inhabitants, and the mother of Ibrahimas, and the mother of Lutas were Sara and Warqa’ (and in another copy ‘Ruqayya’), and were sisters, and they were both the daughters of Lahijas. And Lahijas was a Prophetas, a Warner, but was not a Messengeras. And Ibrahimas was, in hisas youth, upon the nature which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created, to the extent that Allahazwj Blessed and High Guided himas to Hisazwj Religion, and Chose himas. And heas married Sara, the daughter of Lahijas, the daughter of hisas maternal aunt. And Sara was the owner of a lot of assets, and vast lands, and of good financial condition, and Ibrahimas was the owner of all what she had owned. So heas managed it, and corrected the affairs, and increased the assets and plantations considerably, to the extent that heas became the most affluent man in the land of Kowsy Ruba.

وَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) لَمَّا كَسَرَ أَصْنَامَ نُمْرُودَ أَمَرَ بِهِ نُمْرُودُ فَأُوثِقَ وَ عَمِلَ لَهُ حَيْراً وَ جَمَعَ لَهُ فِيهِ الْحَطَبَ وَ أَلْهَبَ فِيهِ النَّارَ ثُمَّ قَذَفَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) فِي النَّارِ لِتُحْرِقَهُ ثُمَّ اعْتَزَلُوهَا حَتَّى خَمَدَتِ النَّارُ ثُمَّ أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْحَيْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) سَلِيماً مُطْلَقاً مِنْ وَثَاقِهِ فَأُخْبِرَ نُمْرُودُ خَبَرَهُ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَنْفُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) مِنْ بِلَادِهِ وَ أَنْ يَمْنَعُوهُ مِنَ الْخُرُوجِ بِمَاشِيَتِهِ وَ مَالِهِ

And when Ibrahimas broke the idols, Nimrodla ordered hisas capture, and they built a platform, and gathered the firewood around it and ignited the fire, and threw Ibrahimas via a catapult to be burnt by it. Then they relaxed until the fire burnt out. Then they looked at the platform and there was Ibrahimas, safe and sound, but the ropes that heas was bound by had been burnt to ashes. So they informed Nimrodla of hisas news. So hela ordered them to exile Ibrahimas from hisas city, and prevent himas from the taking hisas assets and hisas wealth with himas.

فَحَاجَّهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ مَاشِيَتِي وَ مَالِي فَإِنَّ حَقِّي عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَرُدُّوا عَلَيَّ مَا ذَهَبَ مِنْ عُمُرِي فِي بِلَادِكُمْ وَ اخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى قَاضِي نُمْرُودَ فَقَضَى عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ جَمِيعَ مَا أَصَابَ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ وَ قَضَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ نُمْرُودَ أَنْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) مَا ذَهَبَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ نُمْرُودُ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ وَ سَبِيلَ مَاشِيَتِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ إِنْ بَقِيَ فِي بِلَادِكُمْ أَفْسَدَ دِينَكُمْ وَ أَضَرَّ بِآلِهَتِكُمْ فَأَخْرَجُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ لُوطاً مَعَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ بِلَادِهِمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ

So Ibrahimas disputed with them with regards to that. Heas said: ‘If youas are confiscating myas assets and myas wealth, therefore it is myas right against you that you should return to meas what has gone from myas lifetime in your city’, and heas argued against the judge of Nimrodla, so he judged that Ibrahimas should submit to himla all of what heas had acquired in their city, and that Nimrodla to return what had gone from hisas life. The news of that reached Nimrodla, so hela ordered that they should open the way for himas and allow himas to take hisas assets, and hisas wealth, and throw himas out from their city to Syria.

فَخَرَجَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ مَعَهُ لُوطٌ لَا يُفَارِقُهُ وَ سَارَةُ وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ إِنِّي ذاهِبٌ إِلى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ يَعْنِي بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَتَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) بِمَاشِيَتِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ عَمِلَ تَابُوتاً وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِ سَارَةَ وَ شَدَّ عَلَيْهَا الْأَغْلَاقَ غَيْرَةً مِنْهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ مَضَى حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ سُلْطَانِ نُمْرُودَ وَ صَارَ إِلَى سُلْطَانِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقِبْطِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَرَارَةُ

So Ibrahimas went out, and with himas was Lutas who would not separate from himas, and Sara, and said to them: ‘Ias am going to myas Lordazwj to be Guided by Himazwj’ – meaning Bayt Al-Maqdis. So Ibrahimas took hisas assets, and hisas wealth, and constructed a carriage (Taboot), and made Sara to be in it, and locked it with locks, due to hisas honour from it, and went until heas exited from the authority of Nimrodla and went to the authority of a man from the Coptics called Araarat. 

فَمَرَّ بِعَاشِرٍ لَهُ فَاعْتَرَضَهُ الْعَاشِرُ لِيَعْشُرَ مَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْعَاشِرِ وَ مَعَهُ التَّابُوتُ قَالَ الْعَاشِرُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) افْتَحْ هَذَا التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى نَعْشُرَ مَا فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) قُلْ مَا شِئْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ حَتَّى نُعْطِيَ عُشْرَهُ وَ لَا نَفْتَحَهُ قَالَ فَأَبَى الْعَاشِرُ إِلَّا فَتْحَهُ قَالَ وَ غَضِبَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) عَلَى فَتْحِهِ فَلَمَّا بَدَتْ لَهُ سَارَةُ وَ كَانَتْ مَوْصُوفَةً بِالْحُسْنِ وَ الْجَمَالِ قَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ مَا هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْكَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) هِيَ حُرْمَتِي وَ ابْنَةُ خَالَتِي

So they passed by a tax collector of his. The tax collector stopped himas in order to tax himas for what was with himas. So when heas ended up with the tax collector and with himas was the carriage (Taboot), the tax collector said to Ibrahimas, ‘Open this carriage (Taboot) until whatever is in it gets displayed’. So Ibrahimas said to him: ‘Say whatever you like with regards to it, from the gold or the silver and Ias shall pay it as tax, but do not open it’. The tax collector refused until he opened it, and Ibrahimas was angry over its opening. So when Sara came out, and she had good qualities and was very beautiful, the tax collector said to himas, ‘What is (the relationship of) this woman to youas?’ Ibrahimas said; ‘She is myas sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife) and the daughter of myas aunt’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ فَمَا دَعَاكَ إِلَى أَنْ خَبَيْتَهَا فِي هَذَا التَّابُوتِ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ لَسْتُ أَدَعُكَ تَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أُعْلِمَ الْمَلِكَ حَالَهَا وَ حَالَكَ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولًا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ فَأَعْلَمَهُ فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ رَسُولًا مِنْ قِبَلِهِ لِيَأْتُوهُ بِالتَّابُوتِ فَأَتَوْا لِيَذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) إِنِّي لَسْتُ أُفَارِقُ التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى تُفَارِقَ رُوحِي جَسَدِي فَأَخْبَرُوا الْمَلِكَ بِذَلِكَ فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ أَنِ احْمِلُوهُ وَ التَّابُوتَ مَعَهُ

So the tax collector said to himas, ‘So what made youas to place her in this carriage (Taboot)?’ Ibrahimas said: ‘The honour (Ghairat) against anyone looking at her’. So the tax collector said to himas, ‘I will not leave youas to depart until I let the king know of her condition and yoursas’. So he sent a messenger to the king, who let him know, and the king sent a messenger from him telling them to bring himas to him. So Ibrahimas said to them: ‘Ias will not separate from the carriage (Taboot) even if myas soul separates from myas body’. So they informed the king about that, and the king sent a message that they should bring himas and the box with himas.

فَحَمَلُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) و التَّابُوتَ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا كَانَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ افْتَحِ التَّابُوتَ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِنَّ فِيهِ حُرْمَتِي وَ ابْنَةَ خَالَتِي وَ أَنَا مُفْتَدٍ فَتْحَهُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا مَعِي قَالَ فَغَضِبَ الْمَلِكُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَى فَتْحِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى سَارَةَ لَمْ يَمْلِكْ حِلْمُهُ سَفَهَهُ أَنْ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَعْرَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) بِوَجْهِهِ عَنْهَا وَ عَنْهُ غَيْرَةً مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ احْبِسْ يَدَهُ عَنْ حُرْمَتِي وَ ابْنَةِ خَالَتِي فَلَمْ تَصِلْ يَدُهُ إِلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ تَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ

So they took Ibrahimas, and the carriage (Taboot), and all what was with himas until they came up to the king. The king said to himas, ‘Open the carriage (Taboot)!’ So Ibrahimas said: ‘O king! In it is myas sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife), the daughter of myas aunt, and Ias am prepared to ransom all what is with meas’. The king got angry and forced Ibrahimas to open it. So when he saw Sara, he could not control his foolishness, and extended his hand towards her. Ibrahimas turned hisas face away from her and from him due to hisas honour (Ghairat) from it, and said: ‘Our Allahazwj! Withhold his hand from myas sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife) and daughter of myas aunt!’ So his hand could not arrive to her nor would it return back to him.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ الَّذِي فَعَلَ بِي هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ إِنَّ إِلَهِي غَيُورٌ يَكْرَهُ الْحَرَامَ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ مَا أَرَدْتَ مِنَ الْحَرَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ فَادْعُ إِلَهَكَ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ يَدِي فَإِنْ أَجَابَكَ فَلَمْ أَعْرِضْ لَهَا فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) إِلَهِي رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ لِيَكُفَّ عَنْ حُرْمَتِي قَالَ فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ

So the king said to himas, ‘Was it youras Lordazwj Who did this to me?’ Heas said to him: ‘Yes. Surely, myas Lordazwj is Honourable (Ghayyour). Heazwj Abhors the Prohibited, and Heazwj is the One Who Made this situation between you and what you intended from the Prohibited’. The king said to himas, ‘So supplicate to youras God that Heazwj should Return my hand back to me. If Heazwj Answers youas, I will never present (myself) to her’. Ibrahimas said: ‘Myas God! Return his hand back to him, so that he would refrain from myas sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife)’. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Returned his hand back to him.

فَأَقْبَلَ الْمَلِكُ نَحْوَهَا بِبَصَرِهِ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَهَا فَأَعْرَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) عَنْهُ بِوَجْهِهِ غَيْرَةً مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ احْبِسْ يَدَهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ فَيَبِسَتْ يَدُهُ وَ لَمْ تَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ لَغَيُورٌ وَ إِنَّكَ لَغَيُورٌ فَادْعُ إِلَهَكَ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ يَدِي فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ فَعَلَ لَمْ أَعُدْ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَسْأَلُهُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنَّكَ إِنْ عُدْتَ لَمْ تَسْأَلْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ صَادِقاً فَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ يَدُهُ

The king came near to her and looked at her, then extended his hand around her. So Ibrahimas turned hisas face away from it due to hisas honour (Ghairat) from it, and said; ‘Our Allahazwj! Withhold his hand from her! So his hand withered and could not arrive to her. So the king said to Ibrahimas, ‘Surely youras Lordazwj is Honourable (Ghayyour) and so are you, so supplicate to your God that Heazwj should return my hand back to me, for it is an action that I shall not repeat. Ibrahimas said to him: ‘Ias will ask Himazwj upon the condition that you will not ask meas again to supplicate to Himazwj’. The king said, ‘Yes’. So Ibrahimas said: ‘Our Allahazwj! If he is truthful, Return his hand! His hand returned back to him.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْمَلِكُ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا رَأَى وَ رَأَى الْآيَةَ فِي يَدِهِ عَظَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ هَابَهُ وَ أَكْرَمَهُ وَ اتَّقَاهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ قَدْ أَمِنْتَ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْرِضَ لَهَا أَوْ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا مَعَكَ فَانْطَلِقْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ لَكِنْ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) مَا هِيَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْ أُخْدِمَهَا قِبْطِيَّةً عِنْدِي جَمِيلَةً عَاقِلَةً تَكُونُ لَهَا خَادِماً قَالَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام)  فَدَعَا بِهَا فَوَهَبَهَا لِسَارَةَ وَ هِيَ هَاجَرُ أُمُّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ (عليه السلام)

So when the king saw that from the honour which he had never seen before, and saw the Sign in (the return of) his hand, he magnified Ibrahimas, and endowed himas (with gifts), and honoured himas, and let himas leave and said to himas, ‘I grant youas safety from displaying her, or for anything else which is with youas. So go to wherever you like, but I have a need from youas’. Ibrahimas said: ‘What is it?’ He said to himas, ‘I would love it if youas would permit me that I should give her an attendant who is a Coptic woman who has beauty and intellect, who will serve her’. So Ibrahimas gave him permission for that. So he called for her, and gifted her to Sara, and she is Hajar, mother of Ismailas.

فَسَارَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) بِجَمِيعِ مَا مَعَهُ وَ خَرَجَ الْمَلِكُ مَعَهُ يَمْشِي خَلْفَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) إِعْظَاماً لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ هَيْبَةً لَهُ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ قِفْ وَ لَا تَمْشِ قُدَّامَ الْجَبَّارِ الْمُتَسَلِّطِ وَ يَمْشِي هُوَ خَلْفَكَ وَ لَكِنِ اجْعَلْهُ أَمَامَكَ وَ امْشِ وَ عَظِّمْهُ وَ هَبْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُسَلَّطٌ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ إِمْرَةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ بَرَّةٍ أَوْ فَاجِرَةٍ فَوَقَفَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) وَ قَالَ لِلْمَلِكِ امْضِ فَإِنَّ إِلَهِي أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ السَّاعَةَ أَنْ أُعَظِّمَكَ وَ أَهَابَكَ وَ أَنْ أُقَدِّمَكَ أَمَامِي وَ أَمْشِيَ خَلْفَكَ إِجْلَالًا لَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ أَوْحَى إِلَيْكَ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ أَشْهَدُ إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ لَرَفِيقٌ حَلِيمٌ كَرِيمٌ وَ إِنَّكَ تُرَغِّبُنِي فِي دِينِكَ قَالَ وَ وَدَّعَهُ الْمَلِكُ

Ibrahimas travelled with all of what was with himas, and the king came out with him, walking behind Ibrahimas, in respect of Ibrahimas and for hisas prestige. So Allahazwj Blessed and High Revealed to Ibrahimas: “Pause, and do not walk in front of the domineering tyrant and he walks behind youas, but make him to be in front of youas and walk, and show him respect, and prestige, for he is domineering, and it is necessary for there to be authorities in the earth, be they righteous or immoral”. So Ibrahimas paused and said to the king: ‘Wait, for myas God has revealed unto meas at this very moment that Ias should show you respect, and honour you, and make you to walk in front of meas, and Ias should walk behind you, due to your majesty’. So the king said to himas, ‘This has been Revealed unto youas?’ Ibrahimas said to him: ‘Yes’. So the king said to himas, ‘I testify that surely youras God is Friendly, Lenient, generous, and that you are making me incline towards youras Religion’. And the king bade farewell to them.

فَسَارَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِأَعْلَى الشَّامَاتِ وَ خَلَّفَ لُوطاً (عليه السلام) فِي أَدْنَى الشَّامَاتِ ثُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) لَمَّا أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَلَدُ قَالَ لِسَارَةَ لَوْ شِئْتِ لَبِعْتِنِي هَاجَرَ لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنَا مِنْهَا وَلَداً فَيَكُونَ لَنَا خَلَفاً فَابْتَاعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) هَاجَرَ مِنْ سَارَةَ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَوَلَدَتْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ (عليه السلام).

So Ibrahimas journeyed until heas encamped at the high place of Syria, and left behind Lutas in the lower valleys of Syria. Then, when the birth of a son was delayed, Ibrahimas said to Sara: ‘If you want, you can sell Hajar to meas, perhaps Allahazwj would Grant us the sustenance of a son from it, who would become a successor for us’. So Ibrahimas bought Hajar from Sara. Heas went to her, and she gave birth to Ismailas’.

15008- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) أَ لَا تَنْهَى هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ عَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ مَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلِ وَ مَنْ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قُلْتُ أَ لَا تَنْهَى حُجْرَ بْنَ زَائِدَةَ وَ عَامِرَ بْنَ جُذَاعَةَ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ يَا يُونُسُ قَدْ سَأَلْتُهُمَا أَنْ يَكُفَّا عَنْهُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلَا فَدَعَوْتُهُمَا وَ سَأَلْتُهُمَا وَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِمَا وَ جَعَلْتُهُ حَاجَتِي إِلَيْهِمَا فَلَمْ يَكُفَّا عَنْهُ فَلَا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا فَوَ اللَّهِ لَكُثَيِّرُ عَزَّةَ أَصْدَقُ فِي مَوَدَّتِهِ مِنْهُمَا فِيمَا يَنْتَحِلَانِ مِنْ مَوَدَّتِي حَيْثُ يَقُولُ : أَ لَا زَعَمَتْ بِالْغَيْبِ أَلَّا أُحِبَّهَا إِذَا أَنَا لَمْ يُكْرَمْ عَلَيَّ كَرِيمُهَا أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَحَبَّانِي لَأَحَبَّا مَنْ أُحِبُّ

H 15008 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, together from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Husayn Bin Ahmad Al-Munqary, from Yunus Bin Zabyaan who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, Why do youasws not forbid these two men from (criticising) this man?’ So heasws said: ‘Who is this man, and who are these two men?’ I said, ‘Why do youasws not forbid Hujr Bin Zaida, and Aamir Bin Juza’at, from (criticising) Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar?’ So heasws said: ‘O Yunus! Iasws had asked these two to refrain from it, but they did not do it. So I called the two of them over, and asked both of them, and wrote to both of them telling them what Iasws needed from both of them, but they still did not restrain themselves from it. So, may Allahazwj not Forgive them both, for by Allahazwj, there are many honourable ones in his cordiality than these two regarding what they are impersonating from myasws cordiality. Where he has said, ‘Why does she think by the absence that I do not love her?’, then the two of them have not honoured measws, but by Allahazwj, had they both loved measws, they would have loved the one whom Iasws love’.

15009- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ شَرِيكِ الْمُفَضَّلِ وَ كَانَ رَجُلَ صِدْقٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ حَلَقٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَشْهَرُونَّا وَ يَشْهَرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ أُولَئِكَ لَيْسُوا مِنَّا وَ لَا نَحْنُ مِنْهُمْ أَنْطَلِقُ فَأُوَارِي وَ أَسْتُرُ فَيَهْتِكُونَ سِتْرِي هَتَكَ اللَّهُ سُتُورَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ إِمَامٌ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَنَا بِإِمَامٍ إِلَّا لِمَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَأَمَّا مَنْ عَصَانِي فَلَسْتُ لَهُ بِإِمَامٍ لِمَ يَتَعَلَّقُونَ بِاسْمِي أَ لَا يَكُفُّونَ اسْمِي مِنْ أَفْوَاهِهِمْ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا يَجْمَعُنِي اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاهُمْ فِي دَارٍ.

H 15009 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Nu’man, from Al-Qasim the associate of Al-Mufazzal, and he was a truthful man, who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There is a group in the Masjid who publicise usasws and publicise themselves. They are neither from usasws nor are weasws from them. Iasws rush away and hide, but they still uncover myasws veil. May Allahazwj violate their veil. They are saying that Iasws am the Imamasws, but, by Allahazwj, Iasws am not an Imamasws except for the one who obeys measws. So as for the one who disobeys measws, Iasws am not an Imamasws for him. Why are they attaching themselves to myasws name, and not refraining from mentioning myasws name from their mouths? By Allahazwj, may Heazwj not Gather measws and them in one abode’.

H 15010 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Safwan, from Dareyh, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘When the Qureysh went out to Badr, and the sons of Abdul Muttalibas went out with them, Talibas Bin Abu Talibas went out. So their poetic slogan shouters descended and they were shouting their poetic slogans, and Talib Bin Abu Talibas descended and shouted a poetic slogan saying, ‘O Lordazwj! But they are invading (militarily) with Talib, in a group from these groups, so Make him to be in a group which gets overcome and flees, which gets crucified without a crucifier, and Make him to be overcome without him overcoming’. So the Qureysh said, ‘This one will make us to be defeated, so send him back’. (And in another report from Abu Abdullahasws is that he was a Muslim (by then)’.

H 15011 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Al-Mufazzal who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Fatimaasws went to a pillar in the Masjid, and sheasws was addressing the Holy Prophetsaww: ‘Events have occurred after yousaww, and differences. Had youas witnessed them, they would not have increased so much. Weasws have missed youas like the missing of the earth of its downpour of rain. And yoursaww people are in disturbance, so witness them and do not be absent’.

15012- أَبَانٌ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذْ خُفِضَ لَهُ كُلُّ رَفِيعٍ وَ رُفِعَ لَهُ كُلُّ خَفِيضٍ حَتَّى نَظَرَ إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يُقَاتِلُ الْكُفَّارَ قَالَ فَقُتِلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قُتِلَ جَعْفَرٌ وَ أَخَذَهُ الْمَغْصُ فِي بَطْنِهِ.

H 15012 – Aban, from Abu Baseer, who said the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Once the Rasool Allahsaww was in the Masjid, when every high thing was lowered for himsaww and every low thing was raised for himsaww, to the extent that hesaww saw Ja’faras fighting the infidels. Heas got killed. So the Messengersaww said: ‘Ja’far has been killed’, and a severe pain struck himas in hissaww stomach’.

15013- حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الدِّهْقَانِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطَّاطَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ بَيَّاعِ السَّابِرِيِّ عَنْ عَجْلَانَ أَبِي صَالِحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ قَتَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ (عليه السلام) بِيَدِهِ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ أَرْبَعِينَ.

H 15013 – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ubeydullah Bin Ahmad Al-Dahqaan, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Tatary, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad Al-Sabiry, from Ajlaan Abu Salih who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibas killed forty by hisasws hands on the Day of Hunain’.

15014- أَبَانٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ أَتَى جَبْرَئِيلُ (عليه السلام) رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِالْبُرَاقِ أَصْغَرَ مِنَ الْبَغْلِ وَ أَكْبَرَ مِنَ الْحِمَارِ مُضْطَرِبَ الْأُذُنَيْنِ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي حَافِرِهِ وَ خُطَاهُ مَدَّ بَصَرِهِ وَ إِذَا انْتَهَى إِلَى جَبَلٍ قَصُرَتْ يَدَاهُ وَ طَالَتْ رِجْلَاهُ فَإِذَا هَبَطَ طَالَتْ يَدَاهُ وَ قَصُرَتْ رِجْلَاهُ أَهْدَبَ الْعُرْفِ الْأَيْمَنِ لَهُ جَنَاحَانِ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ.

H 15014 – Aban, from Abdullah Bin Ata’I, who has said the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘Jibraeelas came to the Rasool Allahsaww with the Buraaq (ride) which was smaller than a mule, and larger than the donkey. It had two vibrating ears, and its eyes were in its hooves, and its steps were as far as its eyes could extend to. And if it ascends a mountain, its forelegs become shorter and its hind legs extend. So if it descends, its forelegs extend and its hind legs shorten. Its mane hung to the right of it, and it had two wings behind it.

15015- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ فَيْضِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ وَ عَلَى الثَّلاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ خُلِّفُوا لَكَانُوا فِي حَالِ طَاعَةٍ وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ خَالَفُوا عُثْمَانُ وَ صَاحِبَاهُ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعُوا صَوْتَ حَافِرٍ وَ لَا قَعْقَعَةَ حَجَرٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا أُتِينَا فَسَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَوْفَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحُوا.

H 15015 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al-Sanady, from Ja’far Bin Basheer, rom Fayz Bin Al-Mukhtar, who has narrated the following:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘How do youasws read “[9:118] And to the three who were left behind”. Heasws said; ‘Had they been left behind (Khulifu), they would be in a state of obedience. But, they opposed (Khaalafu) – Usman and his two companions (Abu Bakr and Umar). But, by Allahazwj, they did not hear the sound of hooves, or the rumble of the pebbles except that they said, ‘They are coming for us!’ Allahazwj Made fear to overcome them until the morning’.

15016- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ تَلَوْتُ التَّائِبُونَ الْعابِدُونَ فَقَالَ لَا اقْرَأِ التَّائِبِينَ الْعَابِدِينَ إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَسُئِلَ عَنِ الْعِلَّةِ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ اشْتَرَى مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ التَّائِبِينَ الْعَابِدِينَ.

H 15016 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Are youasws reciting: “[9:112] They who repent (Al-Ta’iboun), who serve (Al-Abidoun)”?’ So heasws said: ‘No. Recite “Al-Ta’ibeen Al-Abideen” upto the end of it’. So I asked about the reason for that, heasws said: ‘Heazwj Bought from the Believers (their own selves), the repentant (and) the worshippers’.

15017- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ هَكَذَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَقَدْ جَاءَنَا رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ مَا عَنِتْنَا حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْنَا بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ.

H 15017 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al-Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabalat, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, who has said:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘This is how Allahazwj, Blessed and High Revealed it: “[9:128][34] Certainly a Messenger has come to us from among ourselves; grievous to him is our falling into distress, full of concern for us; to the believers (he is) compassionate”. (Imamasws indicating the Tahreef in the Holy Quran)

15018- مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا (عليه السلام) فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ أَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْهَا قُلْتُ هَكَذَا قَالَ هَكَذَا نَقْرَؤُهَا وَ هَكَذَا تَنْزِيلُهَا.

H 15018 – Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Ibn Fazzaal, who has said:

Al-Rezaasws regarding: “[9:40] So Allah sent down His tranquillity upon him and strengthened him with hosts which you did not see”. I said, ‘Like this?’ Heasws said: ‘This is how weasws recite it, and this is how it was Revealed’.

15019- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ فَلَعَلَّكَ تارِكٌ بَعْضَ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ وَ ضائِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا لَوْ لا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ كَنْزٌ أَوْ جاءَ مَعَهُ مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَمَّا نَزَلَ قُدَيْدَ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يُوَالِيَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَفَعَلَ وَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يُوَاخِيَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَفَعَلَ وَ سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ وَصِيِّي فَفَعَلَ

H 15019 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid and Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Ammar Bin Suweyd who said:

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying regarding this Verse: “[11:12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him?”, When the Rasool Allahsaww encamped at Qudeyd and said to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! Isaww asked mysaww Lordazwj to Establish friendship between measws and youasws, so Heazwj Did it. And Isaww asked mysaww Lordazwj to Establish brotherhood between mesaww and youasws, so heazwj Did it. And Isaww asked mysaww Lordazwj to Make youasws to be mysaww successor, so Heazwj Did it. 

فَقَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَ اللَّهِ لَصَاعٌ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فِي شَنٍّ بَالٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْنَا مِمَّا سَأَلَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَبَّهُ فَهَلَّا سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ مَلَكاً يَعْضُدُهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ أَوْ كَنْزاً يَسْتَغْنِي بِهِ عَنْ فَاقَتِهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَعَاهُ إِلَى حَقٍّ وَ لَا بَاطِلٍ إِلَّا أَجَابَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى فَلَعَلَّكَ تارِكٌ بَعْضَ ما يُوحى إِلَيْكَ وَ ضائِقٌ بِهِ صَدْرُكَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.

Two men (Abu Bakr and Umar) from Qureysh said, ‘By Allahazwj! A Sa’a (unit of measurement) of dates in a basket is more beloved to us than what Muhammadsaww asked hissaww Lordazwj for. So, had hesaww asked hissaww Lordazwj for an Angel to support himsaww against hissaww enemies, or a treasure to make us to be needless by it from the hunger. By Allahazwj! Hesaww does not supplicate to Himazwj, be it true or false, but that Heazwj Answers himsaww’. So Allahazwj, Glorious and High Revealed: “[11:12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it” – up to the end of the Verse’.

15020- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لَوْ شاءَ رَبُّكَ لَجَعَلَ النَّاسَ أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَ لا يَزالُونَ مُخْتَلِفِينَ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ رَبُّكَ فَقَالَ كَانُوا أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ لِيَتَّخِذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْحُجَّةَ.

H 15020 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws was asked about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[11:118] And if your Lord had pleased He would certainly have made people a single nation, and they shall not cease to differ [11:119] Except those on whom your Lord has mercy”, so heasws said: ‘They were one community, so Allahazwj Sent the Prophetsas to take the Proof against them’.

15021- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ يَقْتَرِفْ حَسَنَةً نَزِدْ لَهُ فِيها حُسْناً قَالَ مَنْ تَوَلَّى الْأَوْصِيَاءَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اتَّبَعَ آثَارَهُمْ فَذَاكَ يَزِيدُهُ وَلَايَةَ مَنْ مَضَى مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ حَتَّى تَصِلَ وَلَايَتُهُمْ إِلَى آدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْها يُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قُلْ ما سَأَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ يَقُولُ أَجْرُ الْمَوَدَّةِ الَّذِي لَمْ أَسْأَلْكُمْ غَيْرَهُ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ بِهِ وَ تَنْجُونَ مِنْ عَذَابِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

H 15021 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Ali Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, who has narrated the following:

‘Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[42:23] and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein”, said; ‘The one who befriends (Tawalla) the successorsasws from the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and follows theirasws footsteps, so that increases for him the Wilayah of the ones from the past from the Prophetsas, and the former Believers until their Wilayah arrives to Adamas, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj “[27:89] Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it”, Heazwj will Enter him into the Paradise, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj: “[34:47] Say: Whatever reward I have asked of you, that is only for yourselves”. Hesaww is saying that the reward is the cordiality which Isaww never asked for anything other than it, so it is for you to be guided by it, and to be Rescued by it from the Punishment on the Day of Judgement’.

وَ قَالَ لِأَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ أَوْلِيَاءِ الشَّيْطَانِ أَهْلِ التَّكْذِيبِ وَ الْإِنْكَارِ قُلْ ما أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ وَ ما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ يَقُولُ مُتَكَلِّفاً أَنْ أَسْأَلَكُمْ مَا لَسْتُمْ بِأَهْلِهِ

And hesaww said to the enemies of Allahazwj, the friends of Satanla, the people of the belying and the denial: “[38:86] Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this, nor am I a pretender”. Hesaww is saying; ‘Isaww would be a pretender if Isaww were to ask you what you are not deserving of’.

فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ أَ مَا يَكْفِي مُحَمَّداً أَنْ يَكُونَ قَهَرَنَا عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُحَمِّلَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا فَقَالُوا مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذَا وَ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا شَيْ‏ءٌ يَتَقَوَّلُهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا وَ لَئِنْ قُتِلَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَوْ مَاتَ لَنَنْزِعَنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ لَا نُعِيدُهَا فِيهِمْ أَبَداً

So the hypocrites said to each other, with regards to that, ‘But it did not suffice Muhammadsaww after having conquered us for twenty years, to the extent that hesaww now wants to burden us with the Peopleasws of hissaww Household upon our necks’. So they said, ‘Allahazwj has not Revealed this, nor is it anything except for hissaww words, intending to raise the Peopleasws of hissaww Household upon our necks, and if Muhammadsaww were to be killed or dies, we would take it (rule) away from the Peopleasws of hissaww Household, then we would not let it return to be among them ever’.

وَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُعْلِمَ نَبِيَّهُ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الَّذِي أَخْفَوْا فِي صُدُورِهِمْ وَ أَسَرُّوا بِهِ فَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمْ يَقُولُونَ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً فَإِنْ يَشَإِ اللَّهُ يَخْتِمْ عَلى قَلْبِكَ يَقُولُ لَوْ شِئْتُ حَبَسْتُ عَنْكَ الْوَحْيَ فَلَمْ تَكَلَّمْ بِفَضْلِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ لَا بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ

And Allahazwj Wanted to let know Hisazwj Prophetsaww of that which was hidden in their chests and what they were keeping as a secret. So Heazwj Said in Hisazwj Book: “[42:24] Or do they say: He has forged a lie against Allah? But if Allah pleased, He would seal your heart”. Heazwj is Saying: “Had Iazwj so Liked to, Iazwj would have Stopped the Revelation, so yousaww would not have been able to speak of the virtues of the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household, or of their cordiality”.

وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَمْحُ اللَّهُ الْباطِلَ وَ يُحِقُّ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ يَقُولُ الْحَقُّ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ الْوَلَايَةُ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ وَ يَقُولُ بِمَا أَلْقَوْهُ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنَ الْعَدَاوَةِ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ الظُّلْمِ بَعْدَكَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَسَرُّوا النَّجْوَى الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا هَلْ هذا إِلَّا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ أَ فَتَأْتُونَ السِّحْرَ وَ أَنْتُمْ تُبْصِرُونَ

And Allahazwj has Said: “[42:24] And Allah will wipe out the lie and will vindicate the truth by His words” Heazwj is Saying that the truth is the Wilayah for the Peopleasws of the Household “Lo! He is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts”, and is Speaking of what is attached in their chests from the enmity to the Peopleasws of the Household, and the injustices after yousaww, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[21:3] and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see?”

وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ النَّجْمِ إِذا هَوى قَالَ أُقْسِمُ بِقَبْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِذَا قُبِضَ ما ضَلَّ صاحِبُكُمْ بِتَفْضِيلِهِ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ وَ ما غَوى وَ ما يَنْطِقُ عَنِ الْهَوى يَقُولُ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِفَضْلِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ بِهَوَاهُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنْ هُوَ إِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُوحى

And regarding the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[53:1] I swear by the star when it goes down Heasws said; ‘(It means) Iazwj Swear by the passing away of Muhammadsaww when hesaww passes away [53:2] Your companion does not err, in giving out the virtues of the Peopleasws of hissaww Household nor does he go astray; [53:3] Nor does he speak out of desire. Heazwj is Saying that hesaww does not speak of the virtues of the Peopleasws of hissaww Household out of hissaww own desires, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [53:4] It is naught but revelation that is revealed”.

وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِمُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) قُلْ لَوْ أَنَّ عِنْدِي ما تَسْتَعْجِلُونَ بِهِ لَقُضِيَ الْأَمْرُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمْ قَالَ لَوْ أَنِّي أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُعْلِمَكُمُ الَّذِي أَخْفَيْتُمْ فِي صُدُورِكِمْ مِنِ اسْتِعْجَالِكُمْ بِمَوْتِي لِتَظْلِمُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَكَانَ مَثَلُكُمْ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي اسْتَوْقَدَ ناراً فَلَمَّا أَضاءَتْ ما حَوْلَهُ يَقُولُ أَضَاءَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِنُورِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا تُضِي‏ءُ الشَّمْسُ

And Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Muhammadsaww: “[6:58] Say: If that which you desire to hasten were with me, the matter would have certainly been decided between you and me”. Hesaww said: ‘Had Isaww been Commanded to, Isaww would have informed you all of what you are hiding in your chests of the hastening of mysaww passing away, so that you would perpetrate injustices to the Peopleasws of mysaww Household from after mesaww. So the example of yours in as Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[2:17] Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him”, Heazwj is Saying; “Illumination of the earth by the light of Muhammadsaww just like the illumination of the sun”.

فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلَ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الشَّمْسَ وَ مَثَلَ الْوَصِيِّ الْقَمَرَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ الشَّمْسَ ضِياءً وَ الْقَمَرَ نُوراً وَ قَوْلُهُ وَ آيَةٌ لَهُمُ اللَّيْلُ نَسْلَخُ مِنْهُ النَّهارَ فَإِذا هُمْ مُظْلِمُونَ وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِنُورِهِمْ وَ تَرَكَهُمْ فِي ظُلُماتٍ لا يُبْصِرُونَ يَعْنِي قُبِضَ مُحَمَّدٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ ظَهَرَتِ الظُّلْمَةُ فَلَمْ يُبْصِرُوا فَضْلَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى لا يَسْمَعُوا وَ تَراهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ

So Allahazwj Cited an example of Muhammadsaww with the sun, and an example of the successorasws with the moon, and it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[10:5] He it is Who made the sun a shining brightness and the moon a light”, and Hisazwj Statement: “[36:37] And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in the dark”, and the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[2:17] Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness - they do not see”, meaning, the passing away of Muhammadsaww and the appearance of the darkness, so they cannot see the virtues of the Peopleasws of hissaww Household, and it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[7:198] And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking towards you, yet they do not see”.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَضَعَ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي كَانَ عِنْدَهُ عِنْدَ الْوَصِيِّ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَقُولُ أَنَا هَادِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ وَ هُوَ نُورِيَ الَّذِي يُهْتَدَى بِهِ مَثَلُ الْمِشْكَاةِ فِيهَا الْمِصْبَاحُ فَالْمِشْكَاةُ قَلْبُ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَالْمِصْبَاحُ النُّورُ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْعِلْمُ

Then the Rasool Allahsaww placed the knowledge which was with himsaww to be with the successorasws, and it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[24:35] Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth, Heazwj is Saying: “Iazwj am the Guide of the Heavens and the earth, like the Knowledge which Iazwj Gave out, and it  is Myazwj Light with which Iazwj Guide by a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, so the niche is the heart of Muhammadsaww, and the lamp is the Light in which is the Knowledge.

وَ قَوْلُهُ الْمِصْباحُ فِي زُجاجَةٍ يَقُولُ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَقْبِضَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ عِنْدَ الْوَصِيِّ كَمَا يُجْعَلُ الْمِصْبَاحُ فِي الزُّجَاجَةِ كَأَنَّها كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ فَأَعْلَمَهُمْ فَضْلَ الْوَصِيِّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ فَأَصْلُ الشَّجَرَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَحْمَتُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكاتُهُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّهُ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

And Hisazwj Statement the lamp is in a glass, Heazwj is Saying: “Iazwj Wanted to Make yousaww pass away, and Make that which is in your presence to be with the successorasws just as the lamp is made to be in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed tree”. So the origin of the Blessed Tree is Ibrahimas and it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[11:73] The mercy of Allah and His blessings are on you, O people of the house, surely He is Praised, Glorious”.

وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَ لا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَقُولُ لَسْتُمْ بِيَهُودٍ فَتُصَلُّوا قِبَلَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ لَا نَصَارَى فَتُصَلُّوا قِبَلَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ أَنْتُمْ عَلَى مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ما كانَ إِبْراهِيمُ يَهُودِيًّا وَ لا نَصْرانِيًّا وَ لكِنْ كانَ حَنِيفاً مُسْلِماً وَ ما كانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ

And it is the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[3:33] Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations [3:34] Offspring one of the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing”. “[24:35] neither eastern nor western”. Heazwj is saying: “You are neither Jews so that you Pray in the direction of the west, nor are you Christians, so that you Pray in the direction of the east, but you are the nation of Ibrahimas”, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[3:67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists”.

وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِي‏ءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ يَقُولُ مَثَلُ أَوْلَادِكُمُ الَّذِينَ يُولَدُونَ مِنْكُمْ كَمَثَلِ الزَّيْتِ الَّذِي يُعْصَرُ مِنَ الزَّيْتُونِ يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِي‏ءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ يَقُولُ يَكَادُونَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ لَوْ لَمْ يُنْزَلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلَكٌ.

And it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[24:35] the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not - light upon light - Allah guides to His light whom He pleases”, Heazwj is Saying: “The example of your children whom you give birth to from among you, is like the example of the oil which comes out from the olive, “[24:35] the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not - light upon light - Allah guides to His light whom He pleases”. Heazwj is saying that they almost speak with the Prophet-hood even though an Angel has not descended upon them’. 

15022- أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ سَنُرِيهِمْ آياتِنا فِي الْآفاقِ وَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ قَالَ يُرِيهِمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمُ الْمَسْخَ وَ يُرِيهِمْ فِي الْآفَاقِ انْتِقَاضَ الْآفَاقِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَرَوْنَ قُدْرَةَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ فِي الْآفَاقِ قُلْتُ لَهُ حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ قَالَ خُرُوجُ الْقَائِمِ هُوَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَرَاهُ الْخَلْقُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ.

H 15022 – Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has said:

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[41:53] We will soon show them Our signs in the Universe and in their own souls, until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth”, heasws said: ‘Heazwj Showed them in their own selves, the metamorphosis, and Showed them in the horizon, the breakdowns in the horizons so they would see the Power of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic within themselves and in the horizon’. So I said to him, (What about) “until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth”?’ Heasws said: ‘The coming out of Al-Qaimasws, it is the truth from the Presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic which the creatures will see, it is inevitable’.

15023- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) كَمِ الرِّبَاطُ عِنْدَكُمْ قُلْتُ أَرْبَعُونَ قَالَ لَكِنْ رِبَاطُنَا رِبَاطُ الدَّهْرِ وَ مَنِ ارْتَبَطَ فِينَا دَابَّةً كَانَ لَهُ وَزْنُهَا وَ وَزْنُ وَزْنِهَا مَا كَانَتْ عِنْدَهُ وَ مَنِ ارْتَبَطَ فِينَا سِلَاحاً كَانَ لَهُ وَزْنُهُ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ لَا تَجْزَعُوا مِنْ مَرَّةٍ وَ لَا مِنْ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ لَا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ وَ لَا مِنْ أَرْبَعٍ فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُنَا وَ مَثَلُكُمْ مَثَلُ نَبِيٍّ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

H 15023 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, and Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, together from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Ahmad Bin Ismail, from Amro Bin Kaysan, from Abu Abdullah Al-Ju’fy who said:

‘Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Aliasws said to me: ‘How many Rabaat (guards) are there in your presence?’ I said, ‘Forty’. Heasws said: ‘But ourasws guards are eternal guards. The ones who is a guard amongst us who looks after an animal, there will be for him its weight, and the weight of its (animal) weight so long as it was with him. And the one who is a guard amongst us with weapon would have its weight so long as it was with him. Do not grieve from once, or twice, or three times, or four, for our example and your example is like the example of the Prophetas who was in the Children of Israel. 

فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ادْعُ قَوْمَكَ لِلْقِتَالِ فَإِنِّي سَأَنْصُرُكَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ مِنْ رُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ وَ مِنْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ بِهِمْ فَمَا ضَرَبُوا بِسَيْفٍ وَ لَا طَعَنُوا بِرُمْحٍ حَتَّى انْهَزَمُوا ثُمَّ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ادْعُ قَوْمَكَ إِلَى الْقِتَالِ فَإِنِّي سَأَنْصُرُكَ فَجَمَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ تَوَجَّهَ بِهِمْ فَمَا ضَرَبُوا بِسَيْفٍ وَ لَا طَعَنُوا بِرُمْحٍ حَتَّى انْهَزَمُوا

So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to himas: “If youas prepare youras people for the fighting, Iazwj will Help youas’. So heas gathered them from the top of the mountains and from other places (other) than that. Then heas directed them for it. So they neither struck with their swords, nor did they stab with their spears until they were defeated.

ثُمَّ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ادْعُ قَوْمَكَ إِلَى الْقِتَالِ فَإِنِّي سَأَنْصُرُكَ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَقَالُوا وَعَدْتَنَا النَّصْرَ فَمَا نُصِرْنَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَخْتَارُوا الْقِتَالَ أَوِ النَّارَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ الْقِتَالُ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ النَّارِ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَأَجَابَهُ مِنْهُمْ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ عِدَّةَ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ فَتَوَجَّهَ بِهِمْ فَمَا ضَرَبُوا بِسَيْفٍ وَ لَا طَعَنُوا بِرُمْحٍ حَتَّى فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُمْ.

Then Allahazwj Revealed to him: “If youas prepare youras people for the fighting, Iazwj will Help youas”. So heas called them. They said, ‘You promised us the Help, but no Help came to us’. So Allahazwj the High Revealed to himas: “But, they can either choose to fight or the Fire’. So heas said: ‘O Lordazwj! The fighting is more beloved to meas than the Fire’. So heas called upon them, and three hundred and thirteen of them answered himas, the same number of the people of Badr. So heas directed them (for the battle). They neither struck with their swords, nor stabbed with their spears, until Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Granted victory to them’.

15024- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ وَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ وَ غَيْرِهِمَا يَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لَا يَتَدَاوَى مِنَ الزُّكَامِ وَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا وَ بِهِ عِرْقٌ مِنَ الْجُذَامِ فَإِذَا أَصَابَهُ الزُّكَامُ قَمَعَهُ.

H 15024 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr bin Salih, and Al-Nowfali, and someone else with an unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullahasws, the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww never used to cure himselfsaww from the flu, and would say: ‘There is no one except that he has a vein from the leprosy, so if he is struck by the flu, it suppresses it’.

15025- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) الزُّكَامُ جُنْدٌ مِنْ جُنُودِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَبْعَثُهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى الدَّاءِ فَيُزِيلُهُ.

H 15025 – Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, who has narrated the following:

‘Abu Abdullahasws has said; ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘The flu is an army from the armies of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sends it to the illness, to eradicate it’.

15026- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ آدَمَ إِلَّا وَ فِيهِ عِرْقَانِ عِرْقٌ فِي رَأْسِهِ يُهَيِّجُ الْجُذَامَ وَ عِرْقٌ فِي بَدَنِهِ يُهَيِّجُ الْبَرَصَ فَإِذَا هَاجَ الْعِرْقُ الَّذِي فِي الرَّأْسِ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ الزُّكَامَ حَتَّى يَسِيلَ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الدَّاءِ وَ إِذَا هَاجَ الْعِرْقُ الَّذِي فِي الْجَسَدِ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الدَّمَامِيلَ حَتَّى يَسِيلَ مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الدَّاءِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ بِهِ زُكَاماً وَ دَمَامِيلَ فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى الْعَافِيَةِ وَ قَالَ الزُّكَامُ فُضُولٌ فِي الرَّأْسِ.

H 15026 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhas Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, by his unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullahasws, the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The Rasool Allahsaww said: ‘There is no one from the children of Adamas except that there are two veins within him. A vein in his head which incites the leprosy, and a vein in his body which incites the vitiligo. So if the vein in the head gets incited, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Makes the flu to overcome it until the illness flows out from it. And if the vein which is in the body gets incited, Allahazwj Makes it to be overcome by the abscesses until the illness flows out from it. So if one of you sees the flu and abscesses, so he should Praise Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic for the health’. And heasws said; ‘Flu has origin in the head’.

15027- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ هُوَ يَشْتَكِي عَيْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأَجْزَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةِ الصَّبِرِ وَ الْكَافُورِ وَ الْمُرِّ فَفَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَلِكَ فَذَهَبَتْ عَنْهُ.

H 15027 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from a man who said:

‘A man came up to Abu Abdullahasws and he was complaining about his eyes, so heasws said to him: ‘Where are you from these three parts – the Aloe, the Camphor, and the Myrrh’. The man did that, and it (illness) went away from him’.

15028- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ لَنَا فَتَاةً كَانَتْ تَرَى الْكَوْكَبَ مِثْلَ الْجَرَّةِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ تَرَاهُ مِثْلَ الْحُبِّ قُلْتُ إِنَّ بَصَرَهَا ضَعُفَ فَقَالَ اكْحُلْهَا بِالصَّبِرِ وَ الْمُرِّ وَ الْكَافُورِ أَجْزَاءً سَوَاءً فَكَحَلْنَاهَا بِهِ فَنَفَعَهَا.

H 15028 – From him, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih who said:

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws that. ‘We have a young girl who used to see the planet like the jar’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, and she can see it like a grain’. So I said, ‘Her eyesight is weak’. So heasws said: ‘Apply (in her eyes) the Aloe, and the Myrrh, and the Camphor in equal parts’. So we applied it in her eyes, and she benefited from it’.

15029- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي أَبَا الدَّوَانِيقِ فَجَاءَتْهُ خَرِيطَةٌ فَحَلَّهَا وَ نَظَرَ فِيهَا فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَ تَدْرِي مَا هَذَا قُلْتُ مَا هُوَ قَالَ هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ يُؤْتَى بِهِ مِنْ خَلْفِ إِفْرِيقِيَةَ مِنْ طَنْجَةَ أَوْ طُبْنَةَ شَكَّ مُحَمَّدٌ قُلْتُ مَا هُوَ قَالَ جَبَلٌ هُنَاكَ يَقْطُرُ مِنْهُ فِي السَّنَةِ قَطَرَاتٌ فَتَجْمُدُ وَ هُوَ جَيِّدٌ لِلْبَيَاضِ يَكُونُ فِي الْعَيْنِ يُكْتَحَلُ بِهَذَا فَيَذْهَبُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

H 15029 – From him, from Ahmad, from Dawood Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fayz, who has narrated the following:

Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘Iasws was in the presence of Abu Ja’far, meaning Abu Al-Dawaniq, when a packet came and he opened it and looked inside it. So he took something out from it. He said, ‘O Abu Abdullahasws, do youasws know what this is?’ Iasws said: ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘This is something that has come to me from behind Africa, from Tanjat, (or Tabnat, Muhammad (the narrator doubted). So Iasws said: ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘There is a mountain there from which drops come out in a year and solidify, and it is best for the whiteness which occurs in the eyes, if this is applied to them, it would go away by the Permission of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَعْرِفُهُ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِاسْمِهِ وَ حَالِهِ قَالَ فَلَمْ يَسْأَلْنِي عَنِ اسْمِهِ قَالَ وَ مَا حَالُهُ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا جَبَلٌ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ نَبِيٌّ مِنْ أَنْبِيَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ هَارِباً مِنْ قَوْمِهِ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَعَلِمَ بِهِ قَوْمُهُ فَقَتَلُوهُ فَهُوَ يَبْكِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ النَّبِيِّ (عليه السلام) وَ هَذِهِ الْقَطَرَاتُ مِنْ بُكَائِهِ وَ لَهُ مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ عَيْنٌ تَنْبُعُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ لَا يُوصَلُ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْعَيْنِ.

Iasws said, ‘Yes, I recognise it, and if you like I can inform you of its name and its condition’. Heasws said: ‘He never asked measws about its name’. He said, ‘And what is its condition?’ So Iasws said: ‘This is a mountain on which was a Prophetas from the sons of the Children of Israel, who had fled from hisas people, and heas used to worship upon it. So the people came to know about it, and they killed him. So it (mountain) now weeps over that Prophetas, and these are the drops from its weeping. And on the other side of it is a spring from which the water flows by the night and the day, but it does not arrive to that fountain (of tears)’.

15030- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ مَوْلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَلْقَى مِنْ رَمَدِ عَيْنَيْهِ أَذًى قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) ابْتِدَاءً مِنْ عِنْدِهِ مَا يَمْنَعُكَ مِنْ كُحْلِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) جُزْءُ كَافُورٍ رَبَاحِيٍّ وَ جُزْءُ صَبِرٍ أُصْقُوطْرَى يُدَقَّانِ جَمِيعاً وَ يُنْخَلَانِ بِحَرِيرَةٍ يُكْتَحَلُ مِنْهُ مِثْلَ مَا يُكْتَحَلُ مِنَ الْإِثْمِدِ الْكَحْلَةُ فِي الشَّهْرِ تَحْدُرُ كُلَّ دَاءٍ فِي الرَّأْسِ وَ تُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ الْبَدَنِ قَالَ فَكَانَ يَكْتَحِلُ بِهِ فَمَا اشْتَكَى عَيْنَيْهِ حَتَّى مَاتَ.

H 15030 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Suleym the slave of Ali Bin Yaqteen, who has said:

He said: ‘I had conjunctivitis in my eye which hurt. ‘Abu Al-Hassanasws wrote to me about it initiating from himselfasws; ‘What is preventing you from applying the application of Abu Ja’farasws, a part of Rabahiyya Camphor, Aloe of Asqutry, crushed together and sifted by silk. You should apply from it like the application from the powder, once in a month. It would chase away every illness in the head and exit it from the body’. He said, ‘He used to apply it, and had no complaints for his eyes until death’.

حَدِيثُ الْعَابِدِ

HADEETH OF THE WORSHIPPER

15031- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَمَّنْ أَخْبَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ عَابِدٌ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُقَارِفْ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا شَيْئاً فَنَخَرَ إِبْلِيسُ نَخْرَةً فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ جُنُودُهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ لِي بِفُلَانٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنَا لَهُ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْتِيهِ فَقَالَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ النِّسَاءِ قَالَ لَسْتَ لَهُ لَمْ يُجَرِّبِ النِّسَاءَ

H 15031 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, fromm Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from the one who informed him, the following:

‘Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘There was a worshipper in the Children of Israel who never got involved with anything from the affairs of the world. Ibleesla grunted a grunt, and hisla army gathered towards himla. So hela said, ‘Who is the one for mela for that one?’ One of them said, ‘I am for him’. So hela said, ‘From where you will come to him?’ He said, ‘From the aspect of the women’. Hela said, ‘This is not for him. He will never be tempted by the women’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ آخَرُ فَأَنَا لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْتِيهِ قَالَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الشَّرَابِ وَ اللَّذَّاتِ قَالَ لَسْتَ لَهُ لَيْسَ هَذَا بِهَذَا قَالَ آخَرُ فَأَنَا لَهُ قَالَ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَأْتِيهِ قَالَ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ الْبِرِّ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَأَنْتَ صَاحِبُهُ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الرَّجُلِ فَأَقَامَ حِذَاهُ يُصَلِّي

Another one said to himla, ‘I will be for him’. So hela said, ‘From where will you come to him?’ He said, ‘From the aspect of the drink and the pleasures’. Hela said, ‘This is not for him. This cannot be by this’. Another one said, ‘I will be for him’. Hela said, ‘From where will you come to him?’ From the aspect of the righteousness’. So hela said, ‘Go, for you are the master of it’. So he went to the place of the man. He settled himself near him and Prayed.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَنَامُ وَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَا يَنَامُ وَ يَسْتَرِيحُ وَ الشَّيْطَانُ لَا يَسْتَرِيحُ فَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ وَ قَدْ تَقَاصَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ نَفْسُهُ وَ اسْتَصْغَرَ عَمَلَهُ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَوِيتَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَذْنَبْتُ ذَنْباً وَ أَنَا تَائِبٌ مِنْهُ فَإِذَا ذَكَرْتُ الذَّنْبَ قَوِيتُ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ

Heasws said: ‘And the man used to sleep, and the Devil would not sleep, and he would rest, and the Devil would not rest. So the man turned towards him and belittled himself, and considered his deeds as short and small, so he said, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! With what thing do you get your strength from to perform these Prayers?’ He did not answer him. Then he repeated to him. He still did not answer him. Then he repeated it again to him, so he said, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! I committed a sin, and I am repentant from it. So now whenever I remember the sin, it gives me strength for the ‘Salat’ (Prayers)’.

قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِذَنْبِكَ حَتَّى أَعْمَلَهُ وَ أَتُوبَ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتُهُ قَوِيتُ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ ادْخُلِ الْمَدِينَةَ فَسَلْ عَنْ فُلَانَةَ الْبَغِيَّةِ فَأَعْطِهَا دِرْهَمَيْنِ وَ نَلْ مِنْهَا قَالَ وَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ مَا أَدْرِي مَا الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ فَتَنَاوَلَ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنْ تَحْتِ قَدَمِهِ دِرْهَمَيْنِ فَنَاوَلَهُ إِيَّاهُمَا فَقَامَ فَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ بِجَلَابِيبِهِ يَسْأَلُ عَنْ مَنْزِلِ فُلَانَةَ الْبَغِيَّةِ فَأَرْشَدَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ جَاءَ يَعِظُهَا فَأَرْشَدُوهُ

He said, ‘Inform be about your sin until I understand it, and I can repent if I were to commit it in order to derive strength for the Prayers’. He said, ‘Enter the city and ask around for so and so female prostitute. Give her two Dirhams, and benefit from her’. He said, ‘I do not know where I would get two Dirhams from?’ So the Devil took two Dirhams from under his feet and gave these to him. So he stood up and entered the city wearing his robe, asking around for the house of that prostitute. The people guided him thinking that he is going there to advise her, so they guided him.

فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهَا فَرَمَى إِلَيْهَا بِالدِّرْهَمَيْنِ وَ قَالَ قُومِي فَقَامَتْ فَدَخَلَتْ مَنْزِلَهَا وَ قَالَتِ ادْخُلْ وَ قَالَتْ إِنَّكَ جِئْتَنِي فِي هَيْئَةٍ لَيْسَ يُؤْتَى مِثْلِي فِي مِثْلِهَا فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِخَبَرِكَ فَأَخْبَرَهَا فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ تَرْكَ الذَّنْبِ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ طَلَبِ التَّوْبَةِ وَ لَيْسَ كُلُّ مَنْ طَلَبَ التَّوْبَةَ وَجَدَهَا وَ إِنَّمَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا شَيْطَاناً مُثِّلَ لَكَ فَانْصَرِفْ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَرَى شَيْئاً

So he went to her and threw the two Dirhams at her and said, ‘Stand up’. So she stood up and entered inside her house, and she said, ‘Enter, and you have come to me in a dress which no one has come to me wearing the like of it. So, inform me of your news’. So he informed her. She said to him, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! The avoidance of sin is easier than repenting for it, and every repentant person does not find it (Accepted). But rather, it is befitting that he is a Devil who looks like you. So leave, for you will not see anything’.

فَانْصَرَفَ وَ مَاتَتْ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهَا فَأَصْبَحَتْ فَإِذَا عَلَى بَابِهَا مَكْتُوبٌ احْضُرُوا فُلَانَةَ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَارْتَابَ النَّاسُ فَمَكَثُوا ثَلَاثاً لَمْ يَدْفِنُوهَا ارْتِيَاباً فِي أَمْرِهَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى نَبِيٍّ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ (عليه السلام) أَنِ ائْتِ فُلَانَةَ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهَا وَ مُرِ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا عَلَيْهَا فَإِنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهَا وَ أَوْجَبْتُ لَهَا الْجَنَّةَ بِتَثْبِيطِهَا عَبْدِي فُلَاناً عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِي.

So he left, and she died that very night, and there was found written on her door, ‘Be cautious of this one, for she is from the inhabitants of the Paradise!’ The people became suspicious, so they waited for three days and did not bury her due to their doubts in her matter. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto a Prophetas from the Prophetsas unknown to anyone except for Musa Bin Imranas that: “Go to her and Pray over her and order the people to Prayed over her, for Iazwj have Forgiven her, and Obligated the Paradise for her, for her discouraging Myazwj servant from disobeying Meazwj’.

15032- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ [بْنِ أَحْمَدَ] عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ رَجُلٌ عَابِدٌ وَ كَانَ مُحَارَفاً لَا يَتَوَجَّهُ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ فَيُصِيبَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً فَأَنْفَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَتُهُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ عِنْدَهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ

H 15032 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Zurara, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following:

Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘There used to be a man in the Children of Israel, who was a worshipper who was a derived person. Whenever he turned his attention to anything, he would achieve nothing from it. So his wife used to spend on him until there was nothing left.

فَجَاعُوا يَوْماً مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ فَدَفَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ نَصْلًا مِنْ غَزْلٍ وَ قَالَتْ لَهُ مَا عِنْدِي غَيْرُهُ انْطَلِقْ فَبِعْهُ وَ اشْتَرِ لَنَا شَيْئاً نَأْكُلْهُ فَانْطَلَقَ بِالنَّصْلِ الْغَزْلِ لِيَبِيعَهُ فَوَجَدَ السُّوقَ قَدْ غُلِقَتْ وَ وَجَدَ الْمُشْتَرِينَ قَدْ قَامُوا وَ انْصَرَفُوا فَقَالَ لَوْ أَتَيْتُ هَذَا الْمَاءَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ مِنْهُ وَ صَبَبْتُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ وَ انْصَرَفْتُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ وَ إِذَا هُوَ بِصَيَّادٍ قَدْ أَلْقَى شَبَكَتَهُ فَأَخْرَجَهَا وَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا إِلَّا سَمَكَةٌ رَدِيَّةٌ قَدْ مَكَثَتْ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى صَارَتْ رِخْوَةً مُنْتِنَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ بِعْنِي هَذِهِ السَّمَكَةَ وَ أُعْطِيكَ هَذَا الْغَزْلَ تَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ فِي شَبَكَتِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ

So there came a day from the days when she handed over to him a spinning blade and said to him, ‘There is nothing else in my possession apart from it, so go and sell it, and buy for us something to eat’. So he went with the spinning blade for selling it. He found the market to be closed, but found two prospective buyers. He stood by them, but they were not interested and left. So he said (to himself), ‘If I could come to this water, I could perform ablution from it and bathe in it’, and he left. He came up to the sea shore and there was a fisherman there who had cast his net. When he pulled it out, there was nothing in it except for one fish which had turned soft and rotten. So he said to him, ‘Sell me this fish and I will give you this blade which you can benefit by with your fishing net. He said, ‘Yes’.

فَأَخَذَ السَّمَكَةَ وَ دَفَعَ إِلَيْهِ الْغَزْلَ وَ انْصَرَفَ بِالسَّمَكَةِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَخْبَرَ زَوْجَتَهُ الْخَبَرَ فَأَخَذَتِ السَّمَكَةَ لِتُصْلِحَهَا فَلَمَّا شَقَّتْهَا بَدَتْ مِنْ جَوْفِهَا لُؤْلُؤَةٌ فَدَعَتْ زَوْجَهَا فَأَرَتْهُ إِيَّاهَا فَأَخَذَهَا فَانْطَلَقَ بِهَا إِلَى السُّوقِ فَبَاعَهَا بِعِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ دِرْهَمٍ وَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ بِالْمَالِ فَوَضَعَهُ

So he took the fish and handed over the blade to him, and left with the fish to his house. He informed his wife of the news, so she took the fish in order to prepare it. When she sliced it open, a pearl came out from the middle of it. So his wife called him and showed it to him. He took it with him and went to the market. He sold it for twenty thousand Dirhams, and left for his house with the wealth. He placed it therein.

فَإِذَا سَائِلٌ يَدُقُّ الْبَابَ وَ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الدَّارِ تَصَدَّقُوا رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْمِسْكِينِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ ادْخُلْ فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ خُذْ إِحْدَى الْكِيسَيْنِ فَأَخَذَ إِحْدَاهُمَا وَ انْطَلَقَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَيَاسِيرُ إِذْ ذَهَبْتَ بِنِصْفِ يَسَارِنَا فَلَمْ يَكُنْ ذَلِكَ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ دَقَّ السَّائِلُ الْبَابَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ ادْخُلْ فَدَخَلَ فَوَضَعَ الْكِيسَ فِي مَكَانِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كُلْ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً إِنَّمَا أَنَا مَلَكٌ مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ رَبِّكَ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ رَبُّكَ أَنْ يَبْلُوَكَ فَوَجَدَكَ شَاكِراً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ.

Then a beggar came and knocked on the door and said, ‘O people of the house, give charity to a poor one, Allahazwj will have Mercy upon you’. The man said, ‘Enter’. So he entered. He said, ‘Take one of the two bags’. So he took one of them and left. So his wife said to him, ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! As soon as we have ease, half of it goes away from us’. No sooner had she said that, the beggar knocked on the door. The man said to him, ‘Enter’. So he came and placed the bag back in its place, then said, ‘Congratulations! Eat it rightfully. But rather, I am an Angel from the Angels of your Lordazwj. Your Lordazwj Wanted to Try you, so Heazwj found you to be appreciative’. Then he left’.

خُطْبَةٌ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام )

A SERMON OF AMIR-UL-MOMINEENasws

15033- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) [وَ رَوَاهَا غَيْرُهُ بِغَيْرِ هَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ خَطَبَ بِذِي قَارٍ]

H 15033 – Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Sa’d Bin Al-Munzar Bin Muhammad, from his father, from his grandfather, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from his grandfather, from his father who said:

‘Amir-ul-Momineenasws gave a sermon’. (And someone else has also reported it without the above chain and mentioned that heasws gave the sermon as Zeeqaar).

فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بَعَثَ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله  بِالْحَقِّ لِيُخْرِجَ عِبَادَهُ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ عِبَادِهِ إِلَى عِبَادَتِهِ وَ مِنْ عُهُودِ عِبَادِهِ إِلَى عُهُودِهِ وَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ عِبَادِهِ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ وَ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عِبَادِهِ إِلَى وَلَايَتِهِ بَشِيراً وَ نَذِيراً وَ دَاعِياً إِلَى اللَّهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ سِرَاجاً مُنِيراً عَوْداً وَ بَدْءاً وَ عُذْراً وَ نُذْراً بِحُكْمٍ قَدْ فَصَّلَهُ وَ تَفْصِيلٍ قَدْ أَحْكَمَهُ وَ فُرْقَانٍ قَدْ فَرَقَهُ وَ قُرْآنٍ قَدْ بَيَّنَهُ لِيَعْلَمَ الْعِبَادُ رَبَّهُمْ إِذْ جَهِلُوهُ وَ لِيُقِرُّوا بِهِ إِذْ جَحَدُوهُ وَ لِيُثْبِتُوهُ بَعْدَ إِذْ أَنْكَرُوهُ

So heasws Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then said: ‘Having said that, Allahazwj Blessed and High Sent Muhammadsaww to take Hisazwj servants out from worshipping Hisazwj servants to worship Himazwj, and from the covenants of Hisazwj servants to Hisazwj Covenant, and from obedience to Hisazwj servants to be in obedience to Himazwj, and from the Wilayah of Hisazwj servants to Hisazwj Wilayah by good news and warnings.

And hesaww called to Allahazwj by Hisazwj Permission, and was an illuminating lamp, promising, and beginning, and excusing, and warning by the Judgements that hesaww had decided, and decided what hesaww had judged, and a Criterion which differentiated, and a Quran which Proved Himazwj, so the servants would come to know their Lordazwj which they were ignorant of, and accept by it which they struggled against, and Establish Himazwj after having denied Himazwj.

فَتَجَلَّى لَهُمْ سُبْحَانَهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونُوا رَأَوْهُ فَأَرَاهُمْ حِلْمَهُ كَيْفَ حَلُمَ وَ أَرَاهُمْ عَفْوَهُ كَيْفَ عَفَا وَ أَرَاهُمْ قُدْرَتَهُ كَيْفَ قَدَرَ وَ خَوَّفَهُمْ مِنْ سَطْوَتِهِ وَ كَيْفَ خَلَقَ مَا خَلَقَ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ وَ كَيْفَ مَحَقَ مَنْ مَحَقَ مِنَ الْعُصَاةِ بِالْمَثُلَاتِ وَ احْتَصَدَ مَنِ احْتَصَدَ بِالنَّقِمَاتِ وَ كَيْفَ رَزَقَ وَ هَدَى وَ أَعْطَى وَ أَرَاهُمْ حُكْمَهُ كَيْفَ حَكَمَ وَ صَبَرَ حَتَّى يَسْمَعَ مَا يَسْمَعُ وَ يَرَى فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُحَمَّداً (صلى الله عليه وآله) بِذَلِكَ

So Heazwj illustrated to them Hisazwj Glory in Hisazwj Book without them having seen Himazwj. So heazwj Showed them Hisazwj Forbearance, how Heazwj Forbears, and Showed them Hisazwj Forgiveness how Heazwj Forgives, and Showed them Hisazwj Power and how Powerful Heazwj is, and Frightened them from Hisazwj Authority, and how Heazwj Created what Heazwj Created from the Signs, and how Heazwj Destroys the one whom Heazwj Destroys from the disobeyers by the examples. And how heazwj Repelled the one whom Heazwj repelled by the Torments, and how heazwj Sustained and Guided, and Granted, and Showed them Hisazwj Wisdom how Wise Heazwj is, and Patient until they heard what they heard and saw. So Allahazwj Sent Muhammadsaww with that.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي زَمَانٌ لَيْسَ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَخْفَى مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَ لَا أَظْهَرَ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ وَ لَا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْكَذِبِ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ رَسُولِهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ سِلْعَةٌ أَبْوَرَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ إِذَا تُلِيَ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِهِ وَ لَا سِلْعَةٌ أَنْفَقَ بَيْعاً وَ لَا أَغْلَى ثَمَناً مِنَ الْكِتَابِ إِذَا حُرِّفَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَ لَيْسَ فِي الْعِبَادِ وَ لَا فِي الْبِلَادِ شَيْ‏ءٌ هُوَ أَنْكَرَ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَ لَا أَعْرَفَ مِنَ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا فَاحِشَةٌ أَنْكَرَ وَ لَا عُقُوبَةٌ أَنْكَى مِنَ الْهُدَى عِنْدَ الضَّلَالِ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ فَقَدْ نَبَذَ الْكِتَابَ حَمَلَتُهُ وَ تَنَاسَاهُ حَفَظَتُهُ حَتَّى تَمَالَتْ بِهِمُ الْأَهْوَاءُ وَ تَوَارَثُوا ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْآبَاءِ وَ عَمِلُوا بِتَحْرِيفِ الْكِتَابِ كَذِباً وَ تَكْذِيباً فَبَاعُوهُ بِالْبَخْسِ وَ كَانُوا فِيهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ

Then there will come upon you, from after measws an era, and there will be nothing in that era which will be more hidden than the truth, nor anything more apparent than the falsehood, and nothing more numerous than the lies against Allahazwj the High and Hisazwj Messengersaww. And there will be nothing in that era which will be more worthless than the Book when it is recited as it deserves to be recited, nor anything more worthy of selling and expensive in price than the Book if it is altered from its places. And there will be nothing in the servants nor in the cities anything which is more prevented than the good nor anything more recognised than the evil. And there will be nothing considered to be more immoral and evil, and no worse penalty than for the guidance in the presence of misguidance. During that era, those who bear the Book will be rejected and the memorizers will forget to the extent that they will interpret it in accordance with their own desires, and they would have inherited that from their forefathers, and they will act with alterations in the Book, lying and rejecting. So they will sell it for a cheap price, and they would be from the ascetics.

فَالْكِتَابُ وَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ طَرِيدَانِ مَنْفِيَّانِ وَ صَاحِبَانِ مُصْطَحِبَانِ فِي طَرِيقٍ وَاحِدٍ لَا يَأْوِيهِمَا مُؤْوٍ فَحَبَّذَا ذَانِكَ الصَّاحِبَانِ وَاهاً لَهُمَا وَ لِمَا يَعْمَلَانِ لَهُ فَالْكِتَابُ وَ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ فِي النَّاسِ وَ لَيْسُوا فِيهِمْ وَ مَعَهُمْ وَ لَيْسُوا مَعَهُمْ وَ ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ الضَّلَالَةَ لَا تُوَافِقُ الْهُدَى

So the Book and the People of the Book during that era would be two castaway fugitives, and two accompanying companions in one road not finding any protector or shelter. They are both good for each other and Whomazwj they work for. So the Book and the People of the Book during that era would be in the people but not be among (part of) them, and will be with them but still not be with them, and that is because the misguidance is not in harmony with the guidance.

وَ إِنِ اجْتَمَعَا وَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَى الْفُرْقَةِ وَ افْتَرَقُوا عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ قَدْ وَلَّوْا أَمْرَهُمْ وَ أَمْرَ دِينِهِمْ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَكْرِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الرِّشَا وَ الْقَتْلِ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَئِمَّةُ الْكِتَابِ وَ لَيْسَ الْكِتَابُ إِمَامَهُمْ لَمْ يَبْقَ عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا اسْمُهُ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا خَطَّهُ وَ زَبْرَهُ

And if they meet, and the people would have met upon the sectarianism, and would separate from the group. They would give the rule of the matters of their Religion to the one who acts with regards to them by plotting, and the evil, and the bribery, and the murder, as if they are the imams (leaders) of the Book then the Book is not their imam (leading them). There will not remain in their possession from the truth except for its name, and they will not recognise anything from the Book except for its calligraphy and design.

يَدْخُلُ الدَّاخِلُ لِمَا يَسْمَعُ مِنْ حِكَمِ الْقُرْآنِ فَلَا يَطْمَئِنُّ جَالِساً حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الدِّينِ يَنْتَقِلُ مِنْ دِينِ مَلِكٍ إِلَى دِينِ مَلِكٍ وَ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ مَلِكٍ إِلَى وَلَايَةِ مَلِكٍ وَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ مَلِكٍ إِلَى طَاعَةِ مَلِكٍ وَ مِنْ عُهُودِ مَلِكٍ إِلَى عُهُودِ مَلِكٍ فَاسْتَدْرَجَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ إِنَّ كَيْدَهُ مَتِينٌ بِالْأَمَلِ وَ الرَّجَاءِ حَتَّى تَوَالَدُوا فِي الْمَعْصِيَةِ وَ دَانُوا بِالْجَوْرِ وَ الْكِتَابُ لَمْ يَضْرِبْ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ صَفْحاً ضُلَّالًا تَائِهِينَ قَدْ دَانُوا بِغَيْرِ دِينِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَدَانُوا لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ

The entering one will enter (the religion) when he hears for the Judgements of the Quran, but he will not be satisfied in gatherings until he exits from the Religion. He will transfer from a Religion of a king to a Religion of a king, and from the wilayah of a king to a wilayah of a king, and from obedience of a king to the obedience of a king, and from the covenant of a king to a covenant of a king.

So Allahazwj Lures them away from where they do not know, with good expectations and the hope until they give birth in the disobedience, and they make a religion with the tyranny, and the Book did not benefit them anything, and they will be wandering and straying, for they would have made a religion without the Religion of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and for the sake of other than Allahazwj.

مَسَاجِدُهُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ عَامِرَةٌ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ خَرِبَةٌ مِنَ الْهُدَى قَدْ بُدِّلَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْهُدَى فَقُرَّاؤُهَا وَ عُمَّارُهَا أَخَائِبُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ وَ خَلِيقَتِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمْ جَرَتِ الضَّلَالَةُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ تَعُودُ فَحُضُورُ مَسَاجِدِهِمْ وَ الْمَشْيُ إِلَيْهَا كُفْرٌ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ إِلَّا مَنْ مَشَى إِلَيْهَا وَ هُوَ عَارِفٌ بِضَلَالِهِمْ فَصَارَتْ مَسَاجِدُهُمْ مِنْ فِعَالِهِمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ النَّحْوِ خَرِبَةً مِنَ الْهُدَى عَامِرَةً مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ قَدْ بُدِّلَتْ سُنَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ تُعُدِّيَتْ حُدُودُهُ

Their Masjid during that era would be constructed from misguidance, ruination of guidance. So its reciters and its builders would be the most failed ones among the creatures of Allahazwj and Hisazwj creatures. It is from their presence that misguidance would flow and return back to them. Thus, presence in their Masjids, and walking towards them would be blasphemy (Kufr) with Allahazwj the Magnificent, except for the one who walks towards it while being aware of their misguidance. Therefore, due to their actions upon that way, their Masjids would have become ruination of the guidance, and well-built in the misguidance, for the Sunnah of Allahazwj would have been changed, and Hisazwj Limits transgressed against.

وَ لَا يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْهُدَى وَ لَا يَقْسِمُونَ الْفَيْ‏ءَ وَ لَا يُوفُونَ بِذِمَّةٍ يَدْعُونَ الْقَتِيلَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَهِيداً قَدْ أَتَوُا اللَّهَ بِالِافْتِرَاءِ وَ الْجُحُودِ وَ اسْتَغْنَوْا بِالْجَهْلِ عَنِ الْعِلْمِ وَ مِنْ قَبْلُ مَا مَثَّلُوا بِالصَّالِحِينَ كُلَّ مُثْلَةٍ وَ سَمَّوْا صِدْقَهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فِرْيَةً وَ جَعَلُوا فِي الْحَسَنَةِ الْعُقُوبَةَ السَّيِّئَةَ

They will not be calling to the guidance, nor distribution the booty (Al-Fey), nor fulfilling the responsibilities. They will be calling the one from among them who would be killed upon that as a martyr, thus forging a lie against Allahazwj, and the struggle, and they would be needless from the knowledge due to their ignorance, and from before they mutilated the righteous ones with every mutilation, and named their truthfulness to Allahazwj as libel, and apply the punishment for the sins to the good deeds.

وَ قَدْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْكُمْ رَسُولًا مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ ما عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْهِ كِتَاباً عَزِيزاً لا يَأْتِيهِ الْباطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ لا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ قُرْآناً عَرَبِيّاً غَيْرَ ذِي عِوَجٍ لِيُنْذِرَ مَنْ كانَ حَيًّا وَ يَحِقَّ الْقَوْلُ عَلَى الْكافِرِينَ

And Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Sent to you all a Messengersaww from yourselves. It grieves himsaww to see you suffering, and hesaww is kind and merciful to the Believers. And Heazwj Revealed upon himsaww a Mighty Book. “[41:42] Falsehood shall not come to it from before it nor from behind it; a revelation from the Wise, the Praised One” “[39:28] An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they may guard (against evil)” “[36:70] That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers”.

فَلَا يُلْهِيَنَّكُمُ الْأَمَلُ وَ لَا يَطُولَنَّ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَجَلُ فَإِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَمَدُ أَمَلِهِمْ وَ تَغْطِيَةُ الْآجَالِ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى نَزَلَ بِهِمُ الْمَوْعُودُ الَّذِي تُرَدُّ عَنْهُ الْمَعْذِرَةُ وَ تُرْفَعُ عَنْهُ التَّوْبَةُ وَ تَحُلُّ مَعَهُ الْقَارِعَةُ وَ النَّقِمَةُ وَ قَدْ أَبْلَغَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْكُمْ بِالْوَعْدِ وَ فَصَّلَ لَكُمُ الْقَوْلَ وَ عَلَّمَكُمُ السُّنَّةَ وَ شَرَحَ لَكُمُ الْمَنَاهِجَ لِيُزِيحَ الْعِلَّةَ وَ حَثَّ عَلَى الذِّكْرِ وَ دَلَّ عَلَى النَّجَاةِ

So do not let your hopes to distract you, nor consider the term (of life) to be prolonged, for the ones before you were destroyed for having long hopes against their approaching deadline until the Promised time (of death) descended upon them, and repulsed from them the excuses, and raised from them the repentance, and brought with it the calamity and the resentment. And Allahazwj has Preached to you with the Promise, and Made Decisive for you the speech, and Taught you the Sunnah, and Explained for you the Program to remove the illness, and Urged upon the Remembrance, and Evidence to the Salvation.

وَ إِنَّهُ مَنِ انْتَصَحَ لِلَّهِ وَ اتَّخَذَ قَوْلَهُ دَلِيلًا هَدَاهُ لِلَّتِي هِيَ أَقْوَمُ وَ وَفَّقَهُ لِلرَّشَادِ وَ سَدَّدَهُ وَ يَسَّرَهُ لِلْحُسْنَى فَإِنَّ جَارَ اللَّهِ آمِنٌ مَحْفُوظٌ وَ عَدُوَّهُ خَائِفٌ مَغْرُورٌ فَاحْتَرِسُوا مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِكَثْرَةِ الذِّكْرِ وَ اخْشَوْا مِنْهُ بِالتُّقَى وَ تَقَرَّبُوا إِلَيْهِ بِالطَّاعَةِ فَإِنَّهُ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِذا سَأَلَكَ عِبادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذا دَعانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَ لْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

And the one who act for the sake of Allahazwj and take Hisazwj Words as Evidence, would be Guided until he is strong, and Made to understand the right way, and Guided and facilitated to the good. So the one under the Protection of Allahazwj is safely preserved, and Hisazwj enemies would be in fearful and pretentious. So be cautious of Allahazwj through the frequency of the Remembrance, and be fearful from Himazwj by the piety, and get closer to Himazwj by the obedience, for Heazwj is Close by and Answers. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[2:186] And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way”.

فَاسْتَجِيبُوا لِلَّهِ وَ آمِنُوا بِهِ وَ عَظِّمُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا يَنْبَغِي لِمَنْ عَرَفَ عَظَمَةَ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَتَعَظَّمَ فَإِنَّ رِفْعَةَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا عَظَمَةُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَتَوَاضَعُوا لَهُ وَ عِزَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا جَلَالُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَذِلُّوا لَهُ وَ سَلَامَةَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا قُدْرَةُ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَسْتَسْلِمُوا لَهُ فَلَا يُنْكِرُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ بَعْدَ حَدِّ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَ لَا يَضِلُّونَ بَعْدَ الْهُدَى فَلَا تَنْفِرُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ نِفَارَ الصَّحِيحِ مِنَ الْأَجْرَبِ وَ الْبَارِئِ مِنْ ذِي السُّقْمِ

So you must respond to Allahazwj and believe in Himazwj, and Magnify Allahazwj. It does not befit one who recognises the Greatness of Allahazwj to consider himself as significant. So the highest of the recognition of the Greatness of Allahazwj is being modest to Himazwj, and the highest honour of the one who knows the Majesty of Allahazwj is to be humble to Himazwj, and the most secure is the one who knows the Power of Allahazwj and submits to Himazwj. So you will not be denying yourselves after the Guidance of the understanding, nor will you be going astray after the Guidance. So do not flee from the truth like the fleeing of the healthy ones from the one with the scabies, and the healthy ones from the sick.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَعْرِفُوا الرُّشْدَ حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا الَّذِي تَرَكَهُ وَ لَمْ تَأْخُذُوا بِمِيثَاقِ الْكِتَابِ حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا الَّذِي نَقَضَهُ وَ لَنْ تَمَسَّكُوا بِهِ حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا الَّذِي نَبَذَهُ وَ لَنْ تَتْلُوا الْكِتَابَ حَقَّ تِلَاوَتِهِ حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا الَّذِي حَرَّفَهُ وَ لَنْ تَعْرِفُوا الضَّلَالَةَ حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا الْهُدَى وَ لَنْ تَعْرِفُوا التَّقْوَى حَتَّى تَعْرِفُوا الَّذِي تَعَدَّى

And know that you will never recognise the guidance until you recognise the ones who have left it, and will never take to the Covenant of the Book until you recognise the ones who broke it, and will never attach yourselves to it until you recognise the ones who have abandoned it, and will never be able to recite the Book as it deserves to be recited until you recognise the ones who altered it, and will never recognise the misguidance until you recognise the Guidance, and will never recognise the piety until you recognise the ones who abused it.

فَإِذَا عَرَفْتُمْ ذَلِكَ عَرَفْتُمُ الْبِدَعَ وَ التَّكَلُّفَ وَ رَأَيْتُمُ الْفِرْيَةَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ التَّحْرِيفَ لِكِتَابِهِ وَ رَأَيْتُمْ كَيْفَ هَدَى اللَّهُ مَنْ هَدَى فَلَا يُجْهِلَنَّكُمُ الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّ عِلْمَ الْقُرْآنِ لَيْسَ يَعْلَمُ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا مَنْ ذَاقَ طَعْمَهُ

So when you recognise that, you will recognise the innovations, and the impersonations, and you will see the fabrications against Allahazwj and against Hisazwj Messengersaww, and the alterations to Hisazwj book, and you will see how Allahazwj Guided the one whom Heazwj Guided. So do not let those who have no knowledge keep you ignorant. The Knowledge of the Quran cannot be known as to what it is except by the oneasws who has tasted its food.

فَعُلِّمَ بِالْعِلْمِ جَهْلَهُ وَ بُصِّرَ بِهِ عَمَاهُ وَ سُمِّعَ بِهِ صَمَمَهُ وَ أَدْرَكَ بِهِ عِلْمَ مَا فَاتَ وَ حَيِيَ بِهِ بَعْدَ إِذْ مَاتَ وَ أَثْبَتَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ مَحَا بِهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ أَدْرَكَ بِهِ رِضْوَاناً مِنَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى

So it was by the knowledge that his ignorance got to know, and his blindness got to visualise, and his deafness got to hear, and gained awareness of what knowledge had passed by and got revived by it after its death. And he established the good deeds in the Presence of Allahazwj and deleted the sins by it. And it was by it (knowledge) that he realised the Pleasure from Allahazwj Blessed and High.

فَاطْلُبُوا ذَلِكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَهْلِهِ خَاصَّةً فَإِنَّهُمْ خَاصَّةً نُورٌ يُسْتَضَاءُ بِهِ وَ أَئِمَّةٌ يُقْتَدَى بِهِمْ وَ هُمْ عَيْشُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَوْتُ الْجَهْلِ هُمُ الَّذِينَ يُخْبِرُكُمْ حُكْمُهُمْ عَنْ عِلْمِهِمْ وَ صَمْتُهُمْ عَنْ مَنْطِقِهِمْ وَ ظَاهِرُهُمْ عَنْ بَاطِنِهِمْ لَا يُخَالِفُونَ الدِّينَ وَ لَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ فَهُوَ بَيْنَهُمْ شَاهِدٌ صَادِقٌ وَ صَامِتٌ نَاطِقٌ فَهُمْ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمْ شُهَدَاءُ بِالْحَقِّ وَ مُخْبِرٌ صَادِقٌ لَا يُخَالِفُونَ الْحَقَّ وَ لَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ

So, seek that from its special people, for theyasws are the specialists, lights to be illuminated by, and the Imamsasws to be followed. And theyasws are the life for the knowledge and death for the ignorance. Theyasws are the onesasws whose Judgements inform you of theirasws knowledge, and theirasws silence about theirasws speech, and theirasws apparent about theirasws hidden. Theyasws do not oppose the religion nor do theyasws differ with regards to it. For it (knowledge) is a truthful witness between themasws, and a silent speaker. It is from theirasws glories to testify to the truth, and to be truthful reporters, neither opposing the truth nor differing with regards to it. 

قَدْ خَلَتْ لَهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ السَّابِقَةُ وَ مَضَى فِيهِمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حُكْمٌ صَادِقٌ وَ فِي ذَلِكَ ذِكْرَى لِلذَّاكِرِينَ فَاعْقِلُوا الْحَقَّ إِذَا سَمِعْتُمُوهُ عَقْلَ رِعَايَةٍ وَ لَا تَعْقِلُوهُ عَقْلَ رِوَايَةٍ فَإِنَّ رُوَاةَ الْكِتَابِ كَثِيرٌ وَ رُعَاتَهُ قَلِيلٌ وَ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ.

The Precedence is for themasws from Allahazwj, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Passed a Truthful Judgement for themasws. And in that is a reminder for the speakers. So bear in mind the truth if you hear it with a caring mind and not with a narrative mind, for the narrators of the Book are many, and its guardians are few. And Allahazwj is the Best Supporter’. 

15034- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَرَ بْنَ يَزِيدَ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي مَعْرُوفُ بْنُ خَرَّبُوذَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ وَيْلُمِّهِ فَاسِقاً مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ مُمَارِئاً وَيْلُمِّهِ فَاجِراً مَنْ لَا يَزَالُ مُخَاصِماً وَيْلُمِّهِ آثِماً مَنْ كَثُرَ كَلَامُهُ فِي غَيْرِ ذَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

H 15034 – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Umar Bin Ali, from his uncle Muhammad Bin Umar, from Ibn Azina who said, ‘I heard Umar Bin Yazeed saying, ‘Narrated to me Ma’rouf Bin Kharbouz, who has said:

‘Ali Bin Al-Husaynasws was saying: ‘Woe be unto a mother who defends the one who does not cease to sin! Woe be unto a mother of an immoral one who does not cease to dispute! Woe be unto a mother of a sinner, one who speaks a lot regarding other than Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic!’

15035- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ نُعَيْمٍ الْقُضَاعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ أَصْبَحَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَرَأَى فِي لِحْيَتِهِ شَعْرَةً بَيْضَاءَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ الَّذِي بَلَّغَنِي هَذَا الْمَبْلَغَ لَمْ أَعْصِ اللَّهَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ.

H 15035 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, together, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aban Bin Usman, from Al-Hassan Bin Umarat, from Nueym Al-Qazy, who has said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘One morning, Ibrahimas saw a white hair in hisas beard, so heas said: ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj, the Lordazwj of the Worlds Whoazwj Made me reach to this age, and Ias never disobeyed Allahazwj even for the blink of an eye’.

15036- أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا أَتَاهُ بُشْرَاهُ بِالْخَلَّةِ فَجَاءَهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فِي صُورَةِ شَابٍّ أَبْيَضَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ يَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً وَ دُهْناً فَدَخَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) الدَّارَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ خَارِجاً مِنَ الدَّارِ

H 15036 – Aban Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from the one who reported it:

‘Abu Ja’farasws has said: ‘When Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Took Ibrahimas as a friend, Gave himas good news in private. The Angel of Death came up to himas in the image of a young white man, wearing two white robes, with water and oil dripping from his head. So Ibrahimas entered the house, but welcomed him outside the house.

وَ كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) رَجُلًا غَيُوراً وَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي حَاجَةٍ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ وَ أَخَذَ مِفْتَاحَهُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَفَتَحَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ قَائِمٍ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَأَخَذَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَدْخَلَكَ دَارِي فَقَالَ رَبُّهَا أَدْخَلَنِيهَا فَقَالَ رَبُّهَا أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنِّي فَمَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَفَزِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ جِئْتَنِي لِتَسْلُبَنِي رُوحِي قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنِ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ عَبْداً خَلِيلًا فَجِئْتُ لِبِشَارَتِهِ قَالَ فَمَنْ هُوَ لَعَلِّي أَخْدُمُهُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ قَالَ أَنْتَ هُوَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى سَارَةَ (عليها السلام) فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا.

And Ibrahimas was an honourable (Ghayour) man, and whenever heas went out for a need, heas would lock hisas door, and takes its keys with himas. Then heas would return and open it. So there was the man (Angel of Death) standing there, as handsome as a man can be. So heas grabbed his hand and said: ‘O servant of Allahazwj, who entered you into myas house?’ He said: ‘Its Lordazwj Made me enter it’. So heas said: ‘Its Lordazwj is more deserving of it than Ias am. So who are you?’ He said: ‘I am the Angel of death’. Ibrahimas panicked and said: ‘You have come to meas to capture myas soul?’ He said: ‘No. Allahazwj has Taken a servant as a friend, so I have come to give the good news to himas. Heas said: ‘So who is heas? Ias would like to serve himas until Ias die’. He said: ‘Youas are himas’. So heas came up to Sara and said to her: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High has Taken meas as a friend!’

15037- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ الْفَرَّاءِ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ إِنَّ الْمَلَكَ لَمَّا قَالَ أَدْخَلَنِيهَا رَبُّهَا عَرَفَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا أَهْبَطَكَ قَالَ جِئْتُ أُبَشِّرُ رَجُلًا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اتَّخَذَهُ خَلِيلًا فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَمَنْ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ وَ مَا تُرِيدُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَخْدُمُهُ أَيَّامَ حَيَاتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ فَأَنْتَ هُوَ.

H 15037 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Suleym Al-Fara’a, from the one whom he mentioned:

‘Abu Abdullahasws, said in hisasws Hadeeth that: ‘When the Angel said: ‘Its Lordazwj Made me enter it’, Ibrahimas recognised that he is the Angel of Death. So heas said to him: ‘What made you descend?’ He said; ‘I have come to give good news to a man whom Allahazwj Blessed and High has Taken as a friend’. So Ibrahimas said to him: ‘So who is this man?’ The Angel said to him: ‘And what do youas want from himas?’ So Ibrahimas said to him: ‘Ias will serve himas for the days of myas life’. The Angel said to himas: ‘Youas are himas’.

15038- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) خَرَجَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَسِيرُ بِبَعِيرٍ فَمَرَّ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ قَائِمٍ يُصَلِّي قَدْ قَطَعَ الْأَرْضَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ طُولُهُ وَ لِبَاسُهُ شَعْرٌ قَالَ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) وَ عَجِبَ مِنْهُ وَ جَلَسَ يَنْتَظِرُ فَرَاغَهُ فَلَمَّا طَالَ عَلَيْهِ حَرَّكَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً فَخَفِّفْ

H 15038 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al-Thumaly, who has said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws said that: ‘One day Ibrahimas went out on a journey by a camel, so heas passed by a desert from the earth and there was a man who was standing in Prayer whose length had blocked the sky from the earth, and his clothing was his hair. Ibrahimas paused by him and was astounded from him and sat down awaiting him to be free from his Prayer. So when it became prolonged, heas moved him with hisas hand and said to him; ‘Ias have a need, so shorten it’.

قَالَ فَخَفَّفَ الرَّجُلُ وَ جَلَسَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) لِمَنْ تُصَلِّي فَقَالَ لِإِلَهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَ مَنْ إِلَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكَ وَ خَلَقَنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) قَدْ أَعْجَبَنِي نَحْوُكَ وَ أَنَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أُوَاخِيَكَ فِي اللَّهِ أَيْنَ مَنْزِلُكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ زِيَارَتَكَ وَ لِقَاءَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ مَنْزِلِي خَلْفَ هَذِهِ النُّطْفَةِ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ وَ أَمَّا مُصَلَّايَ فَهَذَا الْمَوْضِعُ تُصِيبُنِي فِيهِ إِذَا أَرَدْتَنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Heasws said: ‘So the man shortened it and sat with Ibrahimas. Ibrahimas said to him: ‘Who are you Praying to?’ He said, ‘To the God of Ibrahimas’. Heas said to him: ‘And Who is the God of Ibrahimas?’ He said, ‘The One Whoazwj Created me’. Ibrahimas said to him: ‘You have caused meas to wonder, and Ias would love to make you a brother for the Sake of Allahazwj. Where is your house, if Ias intend to visit you and meet you?’ The man said to him, ‘My house is behind this drop’ – and he indicated by his hand to the sea, ‘and my Prayer Place is this place. Youas will see me here if youas want me, Allahazwj Willing’. 

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) أَ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ تَدْعُو اللَّهَ وَ أُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِكَ وَ أَدْعُو أَنَا فَتُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِي فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَبِمَ نَدْعُو اللَّهَ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَا فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) وَ لِمَ فَقَالَ لِأَنِّي قَدْ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُنْذُ ثَلَاثِ سِنِينَ بِدَعْوَةٍ لَمْ أَرَ إِجَابَتَهَا حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ وَ أَنَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ أَدْعُوَهُ حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَجَابَنِي

Heasws said: ‘Then the man said to Ibrahimas, ‘Youas have a need?’. So Ibrahimas said: ‘Yes’. He said to himas, ‘And what is it?’ Heas said, ‘Supplicate to Allahazwj and Ias shall say ‘Ameen’ to your supplication, and Ias will supplicate and you say ‘Ameen’ over my supplication’. So the man said, ‘So what is it that we are supplicating for to Allahazwj?’ Ibrahimas said: ‘For the sinner from the Believers’. So the man said, ‘No’. Ibrahimas said: ‘And why not?’ He said, ‘Because I have been supplicating to Allahazwj for the past three years with a supplication, I have never seen its Answer until now, and I am ashamed from Allahazwj the High that I should supplicate (for more) until I know that Heazwj has Answered me’.

فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَبِمَ دَعَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ إِنِّي فِي مُصَلَّايَ هَذَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِذْ مَرَّ بِي غُلَامٌ أَرْوَعُ النُّورُ يَطْلُعُ مِنْ جَبْهَتِهِ لَهُ ذُؤَابَةٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ مَعَهُ بَقَرٌ يَسُوقُهَا كَأَنَّمَا دُهِنَتْ دَهْناً وَ غَنَمٌ يَسُوقُهَا كَأَنَّمَا دُخِسَتْ دَخَساً فَأَعْجَبَنِي مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا غُلَامُ لِمَنْ هَذَا الْبَقَرُ وَ الْغَنَمُ فَقَالَ لِي لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) فَقُلْتُ وَ مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ أَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يُرِيَنِي خَلِيلَهُ

Ibrahimas said: ‘So what is it that you supplicated for?’ The man said to himas, ‘I was in this Prayer Place one day when a young boy passed by and I saw a wonderful light emerging from hisas forehead and two locks of hair behind himas, and with himas were cows that heas was herding as if they had been painted with oil, and sheep which heas was herding as if they were energetic and healthy. What I saw astounded me, so I said to himas, ‘O young boy! To whom do these cows and sheep belong to?’ Heas said to me: ‘To Ibrahimas’. So I said, ‘And who are youas?’ Heas said: ‘Ias am Ismail Bin Ibrahimas, friend of the Beneficent’. So I supplicated to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and asked Himazwj to Show me Hisazwj friend’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَأَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ خَلِيلُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ ذَلِكَ الْغُلَامُ ابْنِي فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَجَابَ دَعْوَتِي ثُمَّ قَبَّلَ الرَّجُلُ صَفْحَتَيْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ عَانَقَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا الْآنَ فَقُمْ فَادْعُ حَتَّى أُؤَمِّنَ عَلَى دُعَائِكَ فَدَعَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُذْنِبِينَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الرِّضَا عَنْهُمْ قَالَ وَ أَمَّنَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ

Ibrahimas said to him: ‘So Ias am Ibrahimas, friend of the Beneficent, and that young boy is myas sonas’. The man said to himas due to that, ‘The Praise is due to Allahazwj Who Answered my supplication’. Then the man kissed the two eyes of Ibrahimas and hisas neck, then said, ‘But now, arise and supplicate until I say ‘Ameen’ over your supplication’. So Ibrahimas for the believing men, and the believing women, and the sinners from that day, to be Forgiven, and Allahazwj to be pleased with them. And the man said ‘Ameen’ over that supplication.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَدَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) بَالِغَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُذْنِبِينَ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘So the supplication of Ibrahimas will reach the Believers, the sinners from ourasws Shites up to the Day of Judgement’.

15039- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عليه السلام) إِذَا قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَ إِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لا تُحْصُوها يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ فِي أَحَدٍ مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ نِعَمِهِ إِلَّا الْمَعْرِفَةَ بِالتَّقْصِيرِ عَنْ مَعْرِفَتِهَا كَمَا لَمْ يَجْعَلْ فِي أَحَدٍ مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ إِدْرَاكِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ أَنَّهُ لَا يُدْرِكُهُ

H 15039 – Ali Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, with an unbroken chain, said:

‘Whenever Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws used to recite this Verse: “[16:18] And if you would count Allah's favours, you will not be able to number them”, heasws would say: ‘Glory be to the One Whoazwj never Made it to be in anyone the recognition of Hisazwj Favours except for the recognition falling short of (Al-Taqseer) recognising, just as Heazwj has never Made it to be in anyone the recognition of being aware of Himazwj more than the knowledge that Heazwj cannot be perceived.

فَشَكَرَ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ مَعْرِفَةَ الْعَارِفِينَ بِالتَّقْصِيرِ عَنْ مَعْرِفَةِ شُكْرِهِ فَجَعَلَ مَعْرِفَتَهُمْ بِالتَّقْصِيرِ شُكْراً كَمَا عَلِمَ عِلْمَ الْعَالِمِينَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يُدْرِكُونَهُ فَجَعَلَهُ إِيمَاناً عِلْماً مِنْهُ أَنَّهُ قَدُّ وُسْعِ الْعِبَادِ فَلَا يَتَجَاوَزُ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ شَيْئاً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لَا يَبْلُغُ مَدَى عِبَادَتِهِ وَ كَيْفَ يُبْلَغُ مَدَى عِبَادَتِهِ مَنْ لَا مَدَى لَهُ وَ لَا كَيْفَ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً.

So gratitude be to the Majestic and Mighty for the recognition of the recognisers by their reduced recognition as appreciation, so Heazwj Made their reduced recognition as an expression of gratitude, just as Heazwj Knows that the knowledge of the knowledgeable people would not be able to perceived Himazwj, so Heazwj made Belief as knowledge from it, so they cannot exceed that. So no one from Hisazwj creatures can reach the limit of worshipping Himazwj, and how can one reach the limit of worship of the One Whoazwj has no Limits for Himazwj, impossible! Allahazwj is Higher than that, Exalted and Great’.

15040- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ بِجَادٍ الْعَابِدِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ وَ ذَكَرُوا سُلْطَانَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) لَا يَخْرُجُ عَلَى هِشَامٍ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا قَتَلَهُ قَالَ وَ ذَكَرَ مُلْكَهُ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً قَالَ فَجَزِعْنَا فَقَالَ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ سُلْطَانَ قَوْمٍ أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ فَأَسْرَعَ بِسَيْرِ الْفَلَكِ فَقَدَّرَ عَلَى مَا يُرِيدُ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا لِزَيْدٍ (عليه السلام) هَذِهِ الْمَقَالَةَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي شَهِدْتُ هِشَاماً وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يُسَبُّ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يُغَيِّرْهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِلَّا أَنَا وَ ابْنِي لَخَرَجْتُ عَلَيْهِ.

H 15040 – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hisham, from Anbasat Bin Bajaad Al-Abid, from Jabir, who has said:

‘We were in the presence Abu Ja’farasws, and the authority of the Clan of Umayya was mentioned, so Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘No one comes out (rebels) against Hisham except that he gets killed’. ‘And heasws also mentioned that his government would last for twenty years’. He (the narrator) said, ‘That grieved us’. So heasws said: ‘What is the matter with you? Whenever Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Intends to Destroy the authority of a people, Heazwj Commands the Angel to quicken the pace of the orbit in accordance to what Heazwj Intends to’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So we said to Zayd, ‘This is the discussion we had’. So he said, ‘I witnessed Hisham, and the Rasool Allahsaww was insulted in his presence, so he neither denied that, nor did he change it. By Allahazwj! Even if there is no one except for myself and my son, I would come out (in rebellion) against him’.

15041- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِذْ أَقْبَلَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ فَرَقَّ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) وَ دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ صَنَعْتَ بِهِ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ تَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ رَقَقْتُ لَهُ لِأَنَّهُ يُنْسَبُ إِلَى أَمْرٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ لَمْ أَجِدْهُ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السلام) مِنْ خُلَفَاءِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ لَا مِنْ مُلُوكِهَا.

H 15041 – And by this chain, from Anbasat, from Moalla Bin Khunays who said:

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws when Muhammad Bin Abdullah came up and greeted, then went away. Abu Abdullahasws sympathised and tears flowed from hisasws eyes. So I said to himasws, ‘I saw youasws doing something what you never did for anyone before’. Heasws said; ‘Iasws sympathised for him because he will be established upon a command which is not for him. Iasws did not find him in the Book of Aliasws from the Caliphs of this community, nor from its kings’.

15042- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لِرَجُلٍ مَا الْفَتَى عِنْدَكُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ الشَّابُّ فَقَالَ لَا الْفَتَى الْمُؤْمِنُ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ كَانُوا شُيُوخاً فَسَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِتْيَةً بِإِيمَانِهِمْ.

H 15042 – Ali Bin Ibrahim, by an unbroken chain, said:

‘Abu Abdullahasws said to a man: ‘What are considered to be the young ones (Al-Fati) among you?’ He said to himasws, ‘The youth’. So heasws said; ‘No! Al-Fati is the Believer. The Companions of the Cave (As’haab Al-Kahf) were old people, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Called them ‘Young men’ due to their belief’.

H 15043 – Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Sadeyr who said:

‘A man asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Statement of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “[34:19] And they said: O our Lord! make spaces to be longer between our journeys; and they were unjust to themselves”. Heasws said: ‘They were a people who live in two inter-connected villages and were able to see each other, and rivers which flowed, and phenomenal wealth. They denied the Favours of Allahazwj and changed what was in themselves, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent the flood of Al-Aram against them. Their two villages were submerged, and their houses were spoilt, and their wealth was gone. It changed their plantations into two plantations to be only with the edible plants of bitter tamarisk (a troublesome weed) and a few Lutus trees. Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “[34:17] This We requited them with because they disbelieved; and We do not punish any but the ungrateful”.

15044- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) وَ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّكُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ رَحْمَةٍ اخْتَصَّكُمُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا نُدْخِلُ أَحَداً فِي ضَلَالَةٍ وَ لَا نُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ هُدًى إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا لَا تَذْهَبُ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رَجُلًا مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ يَعْمَلُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ لَا يَرَى فِيكُمْ مُنْكَراً إِلَّا أَنْكَرَهُ.

H 15044 – Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa’, from Abu Baseer, from Ahmad Bin Umar who said:

‘Abu Ja’farasws said, when a man came up to himasws, so he said to himasws, ‘Youasws all are the Peopleasws of the Household of Mercy which Allahazwj Blessed and High has Specialised youasws all with’. Heasws said: ‘That is what weasws are, and the Praise is due to Allahazwj that weasws do not enter anyone into misguidance, nor do weasws take anyone out of Guidance. The world will not end until Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Send a manasws from usasws the Peopleasws of the Household, whoasws will act by the Book of Allahazwj. Heasws will not see any evil among you all except that heasws will forbid it’.

تَمَّ كِتَابُ الرَّوْضَةِ مِنَ الْكَافِي وَ هُوَ آخِرُهُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

This completes the Book Al-Rawdah (Garden) from Al-Kafi, and it is its last one. And the Praise is due to Allahazwj, the Lordazwj of the Worlds, and Greetings be upon our Chief Muhammadsaww and hissaww Purified Progenyasws’.

محمد بن مسعود العياشي في ( تفسيره ) عن سدير قال : قال أبو جعفر وأبو عبدالله ( عليهما السلام) : لا تصدق علينا ، إلا ما وافق كتاب الله وسنة نبيه ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) .

Muhammad Bin Mas’ud Al Ayyashi in his commentary (Tafseer) from Sudeyr said that Abu Abd Allahasws said:

‘Do not ratify to usasws anything except for that which is in agreement with the Book of Allahazwj and the Sunnah of Hisazwj Prophetsaww’.[35]

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ عَلَى كُلِّ حَقٍّ حَقِيقَةً وَ عَلَى كُلِّ صَوَابٍ نُوراً فَمَا وَافَقَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَخُذُوهُ وَ مَا خَالَفَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فَدَعُوهُ

Ali Ibn Ibrahim from his father, from Al Nawfaly, from Al Sakuny who says:

Abu Abd Allahasws said: ‘The Messenger of Allahsaww said: ‘Surely on every truth there is reality, and on every correct thing there is a light. Whatever is in agreement with the Book of Allahazwj take hold of it, and that which is against the Book of Allahazwj, leave it’.[36]
