CHAPTER 37 – WHAT FLOWED BETWEEN HIMsaww AND THE PEOPLE OF THE BOOK AND THE POLYTHEISTS AFTER THE EMIGRATION, AND IN IT ARE THE MISECELLANEOUS OF HISsaww NEWS AND SITUATIONS OF HISsaww COMPANIONS

الآيات البقرة ما يَوَدُّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ وَ لَا الْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يُنَزَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏

The Verses – (Surah) Al Baqara: They do not like it, those who are disbelieving from the People of the Book, nor the Polytheists, that there should descend upon you from goodness, from your Lord; and Allah Specialises by His Mercy the one He so Desires to; and Allah is with the Mighty Grace [2:105]

و قال تعالى‏ وَدَّ كَثِيرٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ لَوْ يَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ إِيمانِكُمْ كُفَّاراً حَسَداً مِنْ عِنْدِ أَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ فَاعْفُوا وَ اصْفَحُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

And the Exalted Said: Many of the People of the Book would like it, if they could turn you back from after your Eman as Kafirs, out of envy from themselves, from after the clarification of the Truth to them. But, be pardoning and overlooking, until Allah Comes with His Command. Allah is Able upon all things [2:109]

و قال سبحانه‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ ما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكِتابِ وَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِهِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلًا أُولئِكَ ما يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ إِلَّا النَّارَ وَ لا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَ لا يُزَكِّيهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ

And the Glorious said: Those who are concealing what Allah Revealed from the Book and are purchasing a small price with it, they are not devouring into their bellies except for the Fire, nor will Allah be Speaking to them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He be Purifying them, and for them would be a painful Punishment [2:174]

أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلالَةَ بِالْهُدى‏ وَ الْعَذابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ فَما أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ

They are those who are buying the straying by (selling) the Guidance, and (buying) the Punishment by (selling) the Forgiveness. So what would be their patience upon the Fire? [2:175]

ذلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتابِ لَفِي شِقاقٍ بَعِيدٍ

That is because Allah Revealed the Book with the Truth, and those who are differing regarding the Book, they are in discord, remote (from the Truth) [2:176]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُعْجِبُكَ قَوْلُهُ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ يُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلى‏ ما فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ هُوَ أَلَدُّ الْخِصامِ

And the Exalted Said: And from the people there is one who astounds you with his speech regarding the life of the world, and he testifies to Allah upon what is in his heart, but he is the bitterest of the adversaries [2:204]

وَ إِذا تَوَلَّى سَعى‏ فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ فِيها وَ يُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ‏ وَ النَّسْلَ وَ اللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْفَسادَ

And when he turns around, he runs along in the land to cause mischief therein and destroy the farm and the lineage; and Allah does not love the mischief [2:205]

وَ إِذا قِيلَ لَهُ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ أَخَذَتْهُ الْعِزَّةُ بِالْإِثْمِ فَحَسْبُهُ جَهَنَّمُ وَ لَبِئْسَ الْمِهادُ

And when it is said to him, ‘Fear Allah’; pride seizes him with the sin; so Hell would suffice him; and it is an evil habitation [2:206]

و قال تعالى‏ لا إِكْراهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنَ الْغَيِ‏

And the Exalted Said: There is no compulsion in the Religion; the right way has been clarified from the error. [2:256]

آل عمران‏ كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْماً كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمانِهِمْ وَ شَهِدُوا أَنَّ الرَّسُولَ حَقٌّ وَ جاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّناتُ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

(Surah) Aal-e-Imran: Why should Allah Guide a people who disbelieved after their Eman and (after) they testified that the Rasool was true, and clear arguments had come to them? And Allah does not Guide the unjust [3:86]

أُولئِكَ جَزاؤُهُمْ أَنَّ عَلَيْهِمْ لَعْنَةَ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

(As for) them, their Recompense is that upon them is the Curse of Allah and the Angels and of the people, altogether [3:87]

خالِدِينَ فِيها لا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذابُ وَ لا هُمْ يُنْظَرُونَ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تابُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ وَ أَصْلَحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

Eternally in it; their Punishment will neither be Lightened from them nor shall they be Respited [3:88] Except those who repent from after that and amend, for surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [3:87]

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمانِهِمْ ثُمَّ ازْدادُوا كُفْراً لَنْ تُقْبَلَ تَوْبَتُهُمْ وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الضَّالُّونَ‏

Those who commit Kufr after their Eman, then increase in Kufr, their repentance will never be Accepted, and they are the straying ones [3:90]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ لَوْ آمَنَ أَهْلُ الْكِتابِ لَكانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْ مِنْهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ أَكْثَرُهُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ

And the Exalted Said: and if the followers of the Book were to believe, it would be better for them; from them (few) are Momineen, but most of them are transgressors [3:110]

لَنْ يَضُرُّوكُمْ إِلَّا أَذىً وَ إِنْ يُقاتِلُوكُمْ يُوَلُّوكُمُ الْأَدْبارَ ثُمَّ لا يُنْصَرُونَ

They will never (be able to) harm you except for an annoyance; and if they fight you, they would be turning their backs, then they shall not be helped [3:111]

ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الذِّلَّةُ أَيْنَ ما ثُقِفُوا إِلَّا بِحَبْلٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ حَبْلٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ باؤُ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ ضُرِبَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَسْكَنَةُ ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَكْفُرُونَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ وَ يَقْتُلُونَ الْأَنْبِياءَ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ ذلِكَ بِما عَصَوْا وَ كانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ

Disgrace would be struck upon them wherever they are found, except (when) with a Rope from Allah and a Rope from the people, and they are drawing Wrath from Allah, and destitution would be struck upon them; that is because they were disbelieving in the Signs of Allah and were killing the Prophets without a right; that is due to their having disobeyed and they were transgressing [3:112]

لَيْسُوا سَواءً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ أُمَّةٌ قائِمَةٌ يَتْلُونَ آياتِ اللَّهِ آناءَ اللَّيْلِ وَ هُمْ يَسْجُدُونَ

They aren’t alike. From the people of the Book there is an upright community reciting the Verses of Allah during the night while being in Sajdah [3:113]

يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ يُسارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْراتِ وَ أُولئِكَ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ‏

They are believing in Allah and the last Day, and they are enjoining with the goodness and forbidding from the evil, and are hastening regarding the good deeds. They are from the righteous ones [3:114]

و قال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ لا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبالًا وَدُّوا ما عَنِتُّمْ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضاءُ مِنْ أَفْواهِهِمْ وَ ما تُخْفِي صُدُورُهُمْ أَكْبَرُ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْآياتِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

And the Exalted Said: O you who believe! Do not take for intimate ones from besides your own; they will not spare (any effort) in ruining you all. They love whatever distresses you. Vehement hatred has appeared in their mouths (speech), and what is hidden in their chests is greater. We have Clarified the Signs for you, if you use your intellects [3:118]

ها أَنْتُمْ أُولاءِ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَ لا يُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْكِتابِ كُلِّهِ وَ إِذا لَقُوكُمْ قالُوا آمَنَّا وَ إِذا خَلَوْا عَضُّوا عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَنامِلَ مِنَ الْغَيْظِ قُلْ مُوتُوا بِغَيْظِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ

Behold! You are foremost in loving them while they are not loving you, and you are believing in the Book, all of it. And when they meet you, they are saying, ‘We believe!’ And when they are alone, they are biting the fingertips out of rage. Say, ‘Die in your rage!’ Allah is Knowing with the contents of the chests [3:119]

إِنْ تَمْسَسْكُمْ حَسَنَةٌ تَسُؤْهُمْ وَ إِنْ تُصِبْكُمْ سَيِّئَةٌ يَفْرَحُوا بِها وَ إِنْ تَصْبِرُوا وَ تَتَّقُوا لا يَضُرُّكُمْ كَيْدُهُمْ شَيْئاً إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِما يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطٌ

If good touches you, it distresses them, and if an evil befalls you, they are joyous at it; and if you are patient and fear, their plots will not harm you anything; Allah Encompasses with what they are doing [3:120]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ لَمَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِمْ خاشِعِينَ لِلَّهِ لا يَشْتَرُونَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلًا أُولئِكَ لَهُمْ أَجْرُهُمْ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَرِيعُ الْحِسابِ‏

And the Exalted Said: And from the People of the Book there is one who believes in Allah and (in) that which has been Revealed to you and (in) that which has been Revealed to them, being humble to Allah; they are not taking a small price for the Signs of Allah; they, for them, their Recompense is in the Presence of their Lord; surely Allah is quick in Reckoning [3:199]

النساء أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا نَصِيباً مِنَ الْكِتابِ يَشْتَرُونَ الضَّلالَةَ وَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَضِلُّوا السَّبِيلَ

(Surah) Al Nisaa: Are you not seeing those who have been Given a portion of the Book? They are buying the error and are intending to stray you all from the Way [4:44]

وَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَعْدائِكُمْ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ وَلِيًّا وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ نَصِيراً

And Allah is more Knowing with your enemies; and suffice with Allah as a Guardian, and suffice with Allah as a Helper [4:45]

مِنَ الَّذِينَ هادُوا يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَواضِعِهِ وَ يَقُولُونَ سَمِعْنا وَ عَصَيْنا وَ اسْمَعْ غَيْرَ مُسْمَعٍ وَ راعِنا لَيًّا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ طَعْناً فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ قالُوا سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا وَ اسْمَعْ وَ انْظُرْنا لَكانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْ وَ أَقْوَمَ وَ لكِنْ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِكُفْرِهِمْ فَلا يُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

From those Jews who are distorting the words away from its places and are saying, ‘We hear and we disobey’, and ‘listening without hearing’, and ‘Raina’, twisting with their tongues as a taunt in the Religion; and if they were to be saying, ‘We hear and we obey’, and, ‘Hear and consider us’, it would be better for them and more straight. But, Allah Cursed them due to their Kufr, therefore they will not be believing except for a little. [4:46]

و قال تعالى‏ فَلا وَ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيما شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَ يُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً

And the Exalted Said: But no! By your Lord! They are not believing until they make you a judge regarding what they are quarrelling between them, then not find any objection within themselves from what you judge and they accept submissively [4:65]

وَ لَوْ أَنَّا كَتَبْنا عَلَيْهِمْ أَنِ اقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ أَوِ اخْرُجُوا مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ ما فَعَلُوهُ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ فَعَلُوا ما يُوعَظُونَ بِهِ لَكانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْ وَ أَشَدَّ تَثْبِيتاً

And had We Prescribed upon them: “Lay down your lives or go forth from your houses”, they would not have done it except a few of them; and if they were to do what they are being advised with, it would be better for them and stronger in affirmation [4:66]

وَ إِذاً لَآتَيْناهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنَّا أَجْراً عَظِيماً

And then We would Give them from Us a great Recompense

وَ لَهَدَيْناهُمْ صِراطاً مُسْتَقِيماً

And We would Guide them to a Straight Path [4:68]

إلى قوله‏ وَ يَقُولُونَ طاعَةٌ فَإِذا بَرَزُوا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بَيَّتَ طائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ وَ اللَّهُ يَكْتُبُ ما يُبَيِّتُونَ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

Up to Hisazwj Words: And they are saying: ‘Obedience’. But when they are going out from your presence, a group from them spends the night in other than which they were saying; and Allah Records what they are spending the night in, therefore turn away from them and rely upon Allah, and suffice with Allah as a Protector [4:81]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ ما كانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِناً إِلَّا خَطَأً إلى قوله‏ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً

And the Exalted Said: And it was not for a Momin that he kills a Momin except in error; - up to Hisazwj Words: and Allah was always most-Knowing, Wise [4:92]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ مَنْ يَقْتُلْ مُؤْمِناً مُتَعَمِّداً إلى قوله‏ عَظِيماً

And the Exalted Said: And whoever kills a Momin intentionally, - up to Hisazwj Words grievous Punishment [4:93]

و قال تعالى‏ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِما أَراكَ اللَّهُ وَ لا تَكُنْ لِلْخائِنِينَ خَصِيماً

And the Exalted Said: We Revealed the Book to you with the Truth for you to judge between the people with what Allah Showed you; and do not become an advocate for the treacherous [4:105]

وَ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً

And seek Forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah would always be Forgiving, Merciful [4:106]

وَ لا تُجادِلْ عَنِ الَّذِينَ يَخْتانُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كانَ خَوَّاناً أَثِيماً

And do not plead on behalf of those who are deceiving themselves; surely Allah does not Love the one who was treacherous, sinful [4:107]

يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لا يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ إِذْ يُبَيِّتُونَ ما لا يَرْضى‏ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ بِما يَعْمَلُونَ مُحِيطاً

They are concealing from the people, and they cannot conceal from Allah, and He is with them when they are spending the nights in what does not Please Him from the words; and Allah was always Encompassing with what they were doing [4:108]

ها أَنْتُمْ هؤُلاءِ جادَلْتُمْ عَنْهُمْ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا فَمَنْ يُجادِلُ اللَّهَ عَنْهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ أَمْ مَنْ يَكُونُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَكِيلًا

Behold! O You, Those who are pleading on their behalf in the life of the world. So who would plead on their behalf on the Day of Judgment, or who would happen to be a protector upon them? [4:109]

وَ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ سُوءاً أَوْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ يَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ يَجِدِ اللَّهَ‏ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً

And the one who does evil or is unjust to himself, then he seeks Forgiveness of Allah, would find Allah as Forgiving, Merciful [4:110]

وَ مَنْ يَكْسِبْ إِثْماً فَإِنَّما يَكْسِبُهُ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً

And the one who earned a sin, so rather he has earned it upon himself; and Allah would always be most Knowing, Wise [4:111]

وَ مَنْ يَكْسِبْ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ إِثْماً ثُمَّ يَرْمِ بِهِ بَرِيئاً فَقَدِ احْتَمَلَ بُهْتاناً وَ إِثْماً مُبِيناً

And the one who earns a vice or a sin, then he accuses an innocent one with it, so he has carried a burden of slander and a clear sin [4:112]

وَ لَوْ لا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَتُهُ لَهَمَّتْ طائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُضِلُّوكَ وَ ما يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ما يَضُرُّونَكَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ عَلَّمَكَ ما لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ وَ كانَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيماً

And had it not been for the Grace of Allah upon you and His Mercy, a group of them would have resolved to stray you, and they would not have strayed anyone except for their own selves; and they will not harm you with anything; and Allah Revealed upon you the Book and the Wisdom and Taught you what you did not happen to know; and the Grace of Allah was great upon you [4:113]

لا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْواهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَ مَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذلِكَ ابْتِغاءَ مَرْضاتِ اللَّهِ فَسَوْفَ نُؤْتِيهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً

There is no good in most of their secret counsels except of the one who either enjoins charity, or goodness, or reconciliation between people; and the one who does this seeking the Pleasure of Allah, so We shall soon Give him a mighty Recompense [4:114]

وَ مَنْ يُشاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدى‏ وَ يَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ ما تَوَلَّى وَ نُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ ساءَتْ مَصِيراً

And whoever contends the Rasool after the Guidance has clarified to him, and he follows other than the way of the Momineen, We will Turn him to what he had turned towards and he will arrive to Hell; and it is an evil fate [4:115]

و قال تعالى‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا ثُمَّ آمَنُوا ثُمَّ كَفَرُوا ثُمَّ ازْدادُوا كُفْراً لَمْ يَكُنِ اللَّهُ لِيَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ وَ لا لِيَهْدِيَهُمْ سَبِيلًا

And the Exalted Said: Those who believe then commit Kufr, then believe, then commit Kufr, then increase in Kufr, it would not be for Allah to Forgive them nor Guide them to a way [4:137]

بَشِّرِ الْمُنافِقِينَ بِأَنَّ لَهُمْ عَذاباً أَلِيماً

Announce to the hypocrites that for them is a painful Punishment [4:138]

الَّذِينَ يَتَّخِذُونَ الْكافِرِينَ أَوْلِياءَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏

Those who are taking the Kafirs for guardians besides the Momineen. [4:139]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جامِعُ الْمُنافِقِينَ وَ الْكافِرِينَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ جَمِيعاً

Up to the Words of the Exalted: then you would be like them; Allah will Gather together the hypocrites and the Kafirs in Hell altogether [4:140]

الَّذِينَ يَتَرَبَّصُونَ بِكُمْ فَإِنْ كانَ لَكُمْ فَتْحٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ قالُوا أَ لَمْ نَكُنْ مَعَكُمْ وَ إِنْ كانَ لِلْكافِرِينَ نَصِيبٌ قالُوا أَ لَمْ نَسْتَحْوِذْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ نَمْنَعْكُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَاللَّهُ يَحْكُمُ بَيْنَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَ لَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِلْكافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلًا

Those who are awaiting with you, so if there happened to be a victory for you from Allah, they would be saying, ‘Did we not happen to be with you?’ And if there was a share (of victory) for the Kafirs, they would be saying, ‘Did we not have mastery upon you and defended you from the Momineen?’ So Allah would Judge between you all on the Day of Judgment, and Allah will never Make a way to be for the Kafirs against the Momineen [4:141]

المائدة يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لا يَحْزُنْكَ الَّذِينَ يُسارِعُونَ فِي الْكُفْرِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ قالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْواهِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ هادُوا سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ سَمَّاعُونَ لِقَوْمٍ آخَرِينَ لَمْ يَأْتُوكَ يُحَرِّفُونَ الْكَلِمَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَواضِعِهِ يَقُولُونَ إِنْ أُوتِيتُمْ هذا فَخُذُوهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تُؤْتَوْهُ فَاحْذَرُوا وَ مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ فِتْنَتَهُ فَلَنْ تَمْلِكَ لَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُطَهِّرَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا خِزْيٌ وَ لَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ عَذابٌ عَظِيمٌ

O you Rasool! Do not let them grieve you, those who are hastening into Kufr, from those who are saying, ‘We believe’, with their mouths while their hearts are not believing, and from those who are Jews who are listening to the lies. They are listening for another people who have yet to come to you. They are altering the words from their places afterwards. They are saying, ‘If you are given this, then take it, and if you are not given it, then be cautious. And the one whom Allah Intends to Try, so you will never control for him anything from Allah. They are those whom Allah does not Intend to purify their hearts. For them in the world is disgrace, and for them in the Hereafter is a grievous Punishment [5:41]

سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ أَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِ فَإِنْ جاؤُكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ إِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْئاً وَ إِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ

They are listening to the lies, devouring the ill-gotten gains. So if they were to come to you, then judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them, they will never (be able to) harm you anything, and if you judge, then judge between them with the justice; surely Allah Loves the just ones [5:42]

وَ كَيْفَ يُحَكِّمُونَكَ وَ عِنْدَهُمُ التَّوْراةُ فِيها حُكْمُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ وَ ما أُولئِكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And how come they make you a judge and with them is the Torah wherein is a Judgment of Allah, then they are turning back from after that? And they are not the Momineen [5:43]

إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَا التَّوْراةَ فِيها هُدىً وَ نُورٌ يَحْكُمُ بِهَا النَّبِيُّونَ الَّذِينَ أَسْلَمُوا لِلَّذِينَ هادُوا وَ الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَ الْأَحْبارُ بِمَا اسْتُحْفِظُوا مِنْ كِتابِ اللَّهِ وَ كانُوا عَلَيْهِ شُهَداءَ فَلا تَخْشَوُا النَّاسَ وَ اخْشَوْنِ وَ لا تَشْتَرُوا بِآياتِي ثَمَناً قَلِيلًا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْكافِرُونَ‏

Surely We Revealed the Torah wherein is Guidance and Light. The Prophets judged with it for those who were Jews, and (so did) the Rabbis and the Monks with what they had preserved from the Book of Allah, and they were witnesses over it. Therefore do not be fearing the people and fear Me, and do not be taking a small price for My Verses. And the ones who do not judge with what Allah Revealed, so them, they are the Kafirs [5:44]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ وَ أَنْزَلْنا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِّ مُصَدِّقاً لِما بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِنَ الْكِتابِ وَ مُهَيْمِناً عَلَيْهِ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَ لا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْواءَهُمْ عَمَّا جاءَكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ لِكُلٍّ جَعَلْنا مِنْكُمْ شِرْعَةً وَ مِنْهاجاً وَ لَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ لَجَعَلَكُمْ أُمَّةً واحِدَةً وَ لكِنْ لِيَبْلُوَكُمْ فِي ما آتاكُمْ فَاسْتَبِقُوا الْخَيْراتِ إِلَى اللَّهِ مَرْجِعُكُمْ جَمِيعاً فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِما كُنْتُمْ فِيهِ تَخْتَلِفُونَ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: And We Revealed to you the Book with the Truth, in verification to what came before it from the Book and a prevalence upon it. Therefore judge between them with what Allah Revealed and do not pursue their whims rather than what has come to you from the Truth. For all of them We made a Law and a Manifesto, and if Allah had so Desired, He would have Made you all a single community, but it is to Try you regarding what He Gave you. So compete with each other for the goodness. To Allah is your return, altogether, and He would be Informing you with what you had been differing in [5:48]

وَ أَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَ لا تَتَّبِعْ أَهْواءَهُمْ وَ احْذَرْهُمْ أَنْ يَفْتِنُوكَ عَنْ بَعْضِ ما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّما يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُصِيبَهُمْ بِبَعْضِ ذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ إِنَّ كَثِيراً مِنَ النَّاسِ لَفاسِقُونَ

And that you should judge between them by what Allah Revealed and do not pursue their whims, and be cautious of them lest they tempt you from part of what Allah Revealed to you. But if they turn back, then know that rather Allah Intends to Afflict them for some of their sins, and that most of the people are transgressors [5:49]

أَ فَحُكْمَ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ يَبْغُونَ وَ مَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ حُكْماً لِقَوْمٍ يُوقِنُونَ‏

So is it the judgment of the Pre-Islamic period they are seeking? And who is better than Allah in Judging for a people who are certain? [5:50]

و قال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَتَّخِذُوا الَّذِينَ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَكُمْ هُزُواً وَ لَعِباً مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتابَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ وَ الْكُفَّارَ أَوْلِياءَ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُؤْمِنِينَ

And the Exalted Said: O you who believe! Do not take as friends those who are taking your Religion in mockery and as a plaything, from those who were Given the Book from before you, and the Kafirs; and fear Allah if you were Momineen [5:57]

وَ إِذا نادَيْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلاةِ اتَّخَذُوها هُزُواً وَ لَعِباً ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لا يَعْقِلُونَ

And when you are called to the Salat, they are taking it in mockery and as a plaything; that is because they are a people who are not understanding [5:58]

قُلْ يا أَهْلَ الْكِتابِ هَلْ تَنْقِمُونَ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَنْ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنا وَ ما أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَكُمْ فاسِقُونَ

Say: O you People of the Book! Are you resenting from us only because we believe in Allah, and what is Revealed unto us, and what was Revealed from before? And surely most of you are transgressors [5:59]

قُلْ هَلْ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِشَرٍّ مِنْ ذلِكَ مَثُوبَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَ غَضِبَ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلَ مِنْهُمُ الْقِرَدَةَ وَ الْخَنازِيرَ وَ عَبَدَ الطَّاغُوتَ أُولئِكَ شَرٌّ مَكاناً وَ أَضَلُّ عَنْ سَواءِ السَّبِيلِ

Say: Shall I inform you all with one most evil that of Retribution in the Presence of Allah? The one whom Allah Cursed and was Wrathful upon, and Made from them, the monkey, and the pig, and the worshippers of the tyrants. They are in a more evil position and more straying from the Just Way [5:60]

وَ إِذا جاؤُكُمْ قالُوا آمَنَّا وَ قَدْ دَخَلُوا بِالْكُفْرِ وَ هُمْ قَدْ خَرَجُوا بِهِ وَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِما كانُوا يَكْتُمُونَ

And when they come to you, they are saying, ‘We believe!’ And they have entered with the Kufr and they have exited with it; and Allah is more Knowing with what they were concealing [5:61]

وَ تَرى‏ كَثِيراً مِنْهُمْ يُسارِعُونَ فِي الْإِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوانِ وَ أَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ ما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ

And you will see many of them hastening into the sin and the transgression and their consuming the ill-gotten gains. Evil is what they have been doing [5:62]

لَوْ لا يَنْهاهُمُ الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَ الْأَحْبارُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِمُ الْإِثْمَ وَ أَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ ما كانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ‏

Why don’t they forbid them, the Rabbis and the Monks, from their sinful words and their consuming the ill-gotten gains? Evil was what they were doing [5:63]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ أَلْقَيْنا بَيْنَهُمُ الْعَداوَةَ وَ الْبَغْضاءَ إِلى‏ يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ كُلَّما أَوْقَدُوا ناراً لِلْحَرْبِ أَطْفَأَهَا اللَّهُ وَ يَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَساداً وَ اللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ‏

And the Exalted Said: And We Cast upon them the enmity and the hatred up to the Day of Judgment. Every time they kindle the fire for the war, Allah Extinguishes it; and they are striving in the land for mischief, and Allah does not Love the mischief-makers [5:64]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ مِنْهُمْ أُمَّةٌ مُقْتَصِدَةٌ وَ كَثِيرٌ مِنْهُمْ ساءَ ما يَعْمَلُونَ‏

Up to the Words of the Exalted: From them there is a moderate community, and most of them, evil is what they are doing [5:66]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ قُلْ يا أَهْلَ الْكِتابِ لَسْتُمْ عَلى‏ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى تُقِيمُوا التَّوْراةَ وَ الْإِنْجِيلَ وَ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ لَيَزِيدَنَّ كَثِيراً مِنْهُمْ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ طُغْياناً وَ كُفْراً فَلا تَأْسَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكافِرِينَ‏

Up to the Words of the Exalted: Say: O People of the Book! You wouldn’t be upon anything until you observe the Torah and the Evangel and what is Revealed to you from your Lord; And what is Revealed to you has increased a lot of them in tyranny and Kufr, therefore do not grieve upon the Kafir people [5:68]

و قال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَسْئَلُوا عَنْ أَشْياءَ إِنْ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ تَسُؤْكُمْ وَ إِنْ تَسْئَلُوا عَنْها حِينَ يُنَزَّلُ الْقُرْآنُ تُبْدَ لَكُمْ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْها وَ اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ

And the Exalted Said: O you who believe! Do not ask about things, if it is declared to you it would offend you; and if you ask about it while the Quran is being Revealed, it would be manifested to you. Allah Pardons from it, and Allah is Forgiving, Forbearing [5:101]

قَدْ سَأَلَها قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَصْبَحُوا بِها كافِرِينَ‏

A people from before you had asked these, then they became Kafirs due to it [5:102]

و قال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ إِذا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ حِينَ الْوَصِيَّةِ اثْنانِ ذَوا عَدْلٍ مِنْكُمْ أَوْ آخَرانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَصابَتْكُمْ مُصِيبَةُ الْمَوْتِ تَحْبِسُونَهُما مِنْ بَعْدِ الصَّلاةِ فَيُقْسِمانِ بِاللَّهِ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ لا نَشْتَرِي بِهِ ثَمَناً وَ لَوْ كانَ ذا قُرْبى‏ وَ لا نَكْتُمُ شَهادَةَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا إِذاً لَمِنَ الْآثِمِينَ

And the Exalted Said: O you who believe! Keep witness between you when death approaches one of you, during bequeathing, two (men) from you possessing justice, or two other from others (non-Muslims). If you go about in the land and the calamity of death befalls you, detain both of them after the Salat. If you doubt them then they should both swear by Allah, ‘We will neither take a price for it even if it was a relative, nor would we conceal a testimony of Allah, surely then we would be from the sinners’ [5:106]

فَإِنْ عُثِرَ عَلى‏ أَنَّهُمَا اسْتَحَقَّا إِثْماً فَآخَرانِ يَقُومانِ مَقامَهُما مِنَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَحَقَّ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَوْلَيانِ فَيُقْسِمانِ بِاللَّهِ لَشَهادَتُنا أَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهادَتِهِما وَ مَا اعْتَدَيْنا إِنَّا إِذاً لَمِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

Then if it was stumbled upon that they both earned a sin, then two others should be standing in their places, from those the guardians have a right upon. So they should swear by Allah, ‘Our testimony is more rightful than their testimonies and we did not exceed, for them we would be from the unjust ones’ [5:107]

ذلِكَ أَدْنى‏ أَنْ يَأْتُوا بِالشَّهادَةِ عَلى‏ وَجْهِها أَوْ يَخافُوا أَنْ تُرَدَّ أَيْمانٌ بَعْدَ أَيْمانِهِمْ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْمَعُوا وَ اللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفاسِقِينَ‏

That is closer that then coming with the testimony upon its aspect, or fearing that you would want an oath after their oaths; and fear Allah and listen; and Allah does not Guide the transgressing people [5:108]

الأنعام‏ وَ لا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَداةِ وَ الْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ ما عَلَيْكَ مِنْ حِسابِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ ما مِنْ حِسابِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَتَطْرُدَهُمْ فَتَكُونَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

(Surah) Al Anaam: And do not expel those who are supplicating to their Lord in the morning and the evening intending His Face. There is nothing upon you from their Reckoning and there is nothing upon them from your Reckoning, that you should be expelling them and become from the unjust ones [6:52]

وَ كَذلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لِيَقُولُوا أَ هؤُلاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ بَيْنِنا أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ

And like that We Try some of them with other, so they are saying, ‘Are they the ones Allah has Conferred upon from between us?’ Isn’t Allah more Knowing with the grateful ones? [6:53]

وَ إِذا جاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآياتِنا فَقُلْ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ سُوءاً بِجَهالَةٍ ثُمَّ تابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ أَصْلَحَ فَأَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏

And when they come to you, those who are believing in Our Signs, then say: ‘Peace be upon you’. Your Lord has Prescribed the Mercy upon Himself. It is so that the one from you who does evil out of ignorance, then repents from after it and amends, then He is Forgiving, Merciful [6:54]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرى‏ عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً أَوْ قالَ أُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ وَ لَمْ يُوحَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ مَنْ قالَ سَأُنْزِلُ مِثْلَ ما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏

And who is more unjust than the one who fabricates a lie upon Allah, or says, ‘It has been revealed unto me’, and nothing is Revealed to him, and the one who says, ‘I can Reveal similar to what Allah Revealed’; [6:93]

الأعراف‏ وَ اتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ الَّذِي آتَيْناهُ آياتِنا فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْها فَأَتْبَعَهُ الشَّيْطانُ فَكانَ مِنَ الْغاوِينَ

(Surah) Al A’raaf: And recite to them the one We Gave Our Signs to, but he detached from it and he followed the satan, so he was from the deviators [7:175]

وَ لَوْ شِئْنا لَرَفَعْناهُ بِها وَ لكِنَّهُ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ اتَّبَعَ هَواهُ‏ فَمَثَلُهُ كَمَثَلِ الْكَلْبِ إِنْ تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَثْ ذلِكَ مَثَلُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآياتِنا فَاقْصُصِ الْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ‏

And hade We so Desired, We would have Raised him with these, but he adhered to the ground and followed his whims. So his example is like the dog, if you attack upon him he lolls out his tongue, or if you leave him, he lolls out his tongue. That is an example of the people who belied Our Signs, therefore relate the story, perhaps they would be pondering [7:176]

الأنفال‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَخُونُوا اللَّهَ وَ الرَّسُولَ وَ تَخُونُوا أَماناتِكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

(Surah) Al Anfaal: O you who believe! Do not betray Allah and the Rasool and betray your entrustment while you know [8:27]

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّما أَمْوالُكُمْ وَ أَوْلادُكُمْ فِتْنَةٌ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عِنْدَهُ أَجْرٌ عَظِيمٌ‏

And know that rather your wealth and your children are a Fitna (strife), and that Allah, with Him is a Mighty Recompense [8:28]

و قال تعالى‏ قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا إِنْ يَنْتَهُوا يُغْفَرْ لَهُمْ ما قَدْ سَلَفَ وَ إِنْ يَعُودُوا فَقَدْ مَضَتْ سُنَّتُ الْأَوَّلِينَ

And the Exalted Said: Say to those who are committing Kufr if they desists He would Forgive for them whatever has passed, and if they return, then the ways of the former ones has come to pass [8:38]

وَ قاتِلُوهُمْ حَتَّى لا تَكُونَ فِتْنَةٌ وَ يَكُونَ الدِّينُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ فَإِنِ انْتَهَوْا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِما يَعْمَلُونَ بَصِيرٌ

And fight them until Fitna (strife) does not happen and the Religion, all of it happens to be for Allah. So if they desist, then Allah Sees what they are doing [8:39]

وَ إِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ مَوْلاكُمْ نِعْمَ الْمَوْلى‏ وَ نِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ

And if they turn back, then know that Allah is your Guardian; most excellent is the Guardian and most excellent the Helper [8:40]

التوبة ما كانَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ أَنْ يَعْمُرُوا مَساجِدَ اللَّهِ شاهِدِينَ عَلى‏ أَنْفُسِهِمْ بِالْكُفْرِ أُولئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمالُهُمْ وَ فِي النَّارِ هُمْ خالِدُونَ

(Surah) Al Tawbah: It was not for the Polytheists that they should be visiting the Masjids of Allah while testifying upon themselves with the Kufr. These, their deeds would be Confiscated and they would be in the Fire eternally [9:17]

إِنَّما يَعْمُرُ مَساجِدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ أَقامَ الصَّلاةَ وَ آتَى الزَّكاةَ وَ لَمْ يَخْشَ إِلَّا اللَّهَ فَعَسى‏ أُولئِكَ أَنْ يَكُونُوا مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ

But rather, he should visit the Masjids of Allah, the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and establishes the Salat and gives the Zakat and does not fear (anyone) except Allah. So perhaps they would become from the rightly Guided [9:18]

أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ جاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

Are you considering the quencher of the pilgrims and the maintainer of the Sacred Masjid as being the like the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and fights in the Way of Allah? They are not equal in the Presence of Allah; and Allah does not Guide the unjust people [9:19]

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ هاجَرُوا وَ جاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوالِهِمْ وَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفائِزُونَ‏

Those who believed and emigrated in the Way of Allah with their wealth and their selves are of a greater rank in the Presence of Allah. These, they are the achievers [9:20]

و قال تعالى‏ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُطْفِؤُا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْواهِهِمْ وَ يَأْبَى اللَّهُ إِلَّا أَنْ يُتِمَّ نُورَهُ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكافِرُونَ‏

And the Exalted Said: They are intending to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths, and Allah Refused except that He would Complete His Light, and even though the Kafirs dislike it [9:32]

و قال سبحانه‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ كَثِيراً مِنَ الْأَحْبارِ وَ الرُّهْبانِ لَيَأْكُلُونَ أَمْوالَ النَّاسِ بِالْباطِلِ وَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ‏

And the Glorious Said: O you who believe! Surely many of the Rabbis and the Monks are devouring the wealth of the people falsely and are hindering from the Way of Allah [9:34]

و قال تعالى‏ إِنَّمَا النَّسِي‏ءُ زِيادَةٌ فِي الْكُفْرِ يُضَلُّ بِهِ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا يُحِلُّونَهُ عاماً وَ يُحَرِّمُونَهُ عاماً لِيُواطِؤُا عِدَّةَ ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ فَيُحِلُّوا ما حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ زُيِّنَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ أَعْمالِهِمْ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْكافِرِينَ‏

And the Exalted Said: But rather, the postponement (of the Sacred months) increases in the Kufr, whereby those who were committing Kufr strayed. They were violating it a year and sanctifying it a year, in order to adjust the number which Allah Forbade, so they could permit what Allah had Prohibited. The evil of their deeds was adorned for them, and Allah does not Guide the Kafir people [9:37]

و قال سبحانه‏ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَلْمِزُكَ فِي الصَّدَقاتِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْها رَضُوا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْها إِذا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ

And the Glorious Said: And among them are ones who criticise you regarding the charities; so if they are given from it they are pleased, and if they are not given from it, then they are angered [9:58]

وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ رَضُوا ما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ قالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ سَيُؤْتِينَا اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ رَسُولُهُ إِنَّا إِلَى اللَّهِ راغِبُونَ‏

And if only they had been pleased with what Allah and His Rasool gave them, and they should be saying: ‘Allah is Sufficient for us; Allah will soon Give us from His Grace and (so would) His Rasool; surely to Allah do we are hoping’ [9:59]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ مِنْهُمُ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ النَّبِيَّ وَ يَقُولُونَ هُوَ أُذُنٌ قُلْ أُذُنُ خَيْرٍ لَكُمْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ يُؤْمِنُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ

And from them are those who are hurting the Prophet and they are saying, ‘He is (only) a hearer’. Say: ‘A hearer of good for you all. He believes in Allah and has faith in the Momineen, and is a Mercy for those of you who believe; and those who are hurting Rasool-Allah, for them is a painful Punishment’ [9:61]

يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُمْ لِيُرْضُوكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ يُرْضُوهُ إِنْ كانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ

They are swearing by Allah to you in order to please you, and Allah and His Rasool have a greater right that they should please Him, if they are Momineen [9:62]

أَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ مَنْ يُحادِدِ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَأَنَّ لَهُ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِداً فِيها ذلِكَ الْخِزْيُ الْعَظِيمُ‏

Are they not knowing that the one who opposes Allah and His Rasool, then for him would be Fire of Hell to abide therein eternally? That is the mighty disgrace! [9:63]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ الْمُنافِقُونَ وَ الْمُنافِقاتُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَ يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ وَ يَقْبِضُونَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَنَسِيَهُمْ إِنَّ الْمُنافِقِينَ هُمُ الْفاسِقُونَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الْمُنافِقِينَ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: The hypocritical men and the hypocritical women are from each other. They enjoin evil and forbid good and withhold their hands. They have forgotten Allah, so He has Forgotten them; surely the hypocrites, they are the mischievous ones [9:67]

وَ الْمُنافِقاتِ وَ الْكُفَّارَ نارَ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدِينَ فِيها هِيَ حَسْبُهُمْ وَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ مُقِيمٌ

Allah has Promised the hypocritical men and the hypocritical women and the Kafirs the Fire of Hell, to abide therein eternally; it is sufficient for them; and Allah has Cursed them and for them would be ever-lasting Punishment [9:68]

كَالَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ كانُوا أَشَدَّ مِنْكُمْ قُوَّةً وَ أَكْثَرَ أَمْوالًا وَ أَوْلاداً فَاسْتَمْتَعُوا بِخَلاقِهِمْ فَاسْتَمْتَعْتُمْ بِخَلاقِكُمْ كَمَا اسْتَمْتَعَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ بِخَلاقِهِمْ وَ خُضْتُمْ كَالَّذِي خاضُوا أُولئِكَ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمالُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْخاسِرُونَ

Like those from before you; they were stronger than you in power and more abundant in wealth and children. So they enjoyed their portion, and you are enjoying your portion just as those before you enjoyed their portion; and you are talking vainly like they were talking vainly. Those ones, their deeds were Confiscated in the world and the Hereafter, and those ones, they are the losers [9:69]

أَ لَمْ يَأْتِهِمْ نَبَأُ الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ وَ عادٍ وَ ثَمُودَ وَ قَوْمِ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ أَصْحابِ مَدْيَنَ وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكاتِ أَتَتْهُمْ رُسُلُهُمْ بِالْبَيِّناتِ فَما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيَظْلِمَهُمْ وَ لكِنْ كانُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ‏

Did there not come to them news of those from before them of the people of Noah, and Aad, and Samood, and people of Ibrahim, and the companions of Madayn, and the overthrown cities? Their Rasools came to them with the clear proofs. So it was not Allah Who was unjust to them, but they were unjust to themselves [9:70]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ يَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ ما قالُوا وَ لَقَدْ قالُوا كَلِمَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَ كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلامِهِمْ وَ هَمُّوا بِما لَمْ يَنالُوا وَ ما نَقَمُوا إِلَّا أَنْ أَغْناهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَإِنْ يَتُوبُوا يَكُ خَيْراً لَهُمْ وَ إِنْ يَتَوَلَّوْا يُعَذِّبْهُمُ اللَّهُ عَذاباً أَلِيماً فِي الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ ما لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَ لا نَصِيرٍ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: They are swearing by Allah that they did not say it, and they have said the word of Kufr, and they committed Kufr after their Islam and they planned with what they could not attain; and they hated except if Allah and His Rasool was to Enrich them from His Grace. So if they were to repent, it would be better for them, and if they turn back, Allah would Punish them with a painful Punishment in the world and the Hereafter; and there isn’t for them in the earth from a guardian, nor a helper [9:74]

وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ عاهَدَ اللَّهَ لَئِنْ آتانا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لَنَصَّدَّقَنَّ وَ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ

And from them is one who vowed to Allah, ‘If He Gives us from His Grace, we would give charity and become from the righteous ones’ [9:75]

فَلَمَّا آتاهُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ بَخِلُوا بِهِ وَ تَوَلَّوْا وَ هُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

But when He Gave them from His Grace, they would stingy with it and turned back, and they were averse [9:76]

فَأَعْقَبَهُمْ نِفاقاً فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ إِلى‏ يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ بِما أَخْلَفُوا اللَّهَ ما وَعَدُوهُ وَ بِما كانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ

So He Made hypocrisy as a consequence to be in their hearts until the Day they meet Him, due to their opposing Allah of what they had Promised Him and due to their lying [9:77]

أَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَ نَجْواهُمْ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

Are they not knowing that Allah Knows their secrets and their whisperings, and that Allah is a Knower of the hidden matters? [9:78]

الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ‏ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقاتِ وَ الَّذِينَ لا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ

Those who are taunting the ones from the Momineen who give the charities willingly, and those who are not finding except for their efforts, so they are ridiculing them. Allah will Ridicule them, and for them would be a painful Punishment [9:79]

اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفاسِقِينَ‏

Whether you seek Forgiveness for them or do not seek Forgiveness for them; even if you seek Forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never Forgive them; that is because they committed Kufr with Allah and His Rasool; and Allah does not Guide the mischief-making people [9:80]

و قال تعالى‏ الْأَعْرابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْراً وَ نِفاقاً وَ أَجْدَرُ أَلَّا يَعْلَمُوا حُدُودَ ما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلى‏ رَسُولِهِ وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

The Bedouins are more intense in Kufr and hypocrisy and more likely not to know the Limits of what Allah Revealed unto His Rasool, and Allah is Knowing, Wise [9:97]

وَ مِنَ الْأَعْرابِ مَنْ يَتَّخِذُ ما يُنْفِقُ مَغْرَماً وَ يَتَرَبَّصُ بِكُمُ الدَّوائِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ دائِرَةُ السَّوْءِ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ

And from the Bedouins is one who regards what he spend as being a fine, and he awaits the misfortune to befall you. Upon them be the evil misfortune, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [9:98]

وَ مِنَ الْأَعْرابِ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ يَتَّخِذُ ما يُنْفِقُ قُرُباتٍ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ صَلَواتِ الرَّسُولِ أَلا إِنَّها قُرْبَةٌ لَهُمْ سَيُدْخِلُهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏

And from the Bedouins is one who believes in Allah and the Last Day, and he takes what he spends as being a nearness with Allah, and the (sending of) Salawat (upon) the Rasool. Indeed, it would be a nearness for them. Allah will be Entering them into His Mercy; surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [9:99]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ مِمَّنْ حَوْلَكُمْ مِنَ الْأَعْرابِ مُنافِقُونَ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَرَدُوا عَلَى النِّفاقِ لا تَعْلَمُهُمْ نَحْنُ نَعْلَمُهُمْ سَنُعَذِّبُهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُرَدُّونَ إِلى‏ عَذابٍ عَظِيمٍ

And the Exalted said: And from the ones around you from the Bedouins are hypocrites, and from the people of Al-Medina are stubborn upon the hypocrisy. You do not know them, We Know them. We will be Punishing them twice, then they will be Returned to the grievous Punishment [9:101]

وَ آخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏

And others are acknowledging their sins, mingling one righteous deed and another evil one. Perhaps Allah will Turn towards them (Mercifully), surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [9:102]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ وَ آخَرُونَ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَ إِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ‏

Up to the Words of the Exalted: And others are waiting hopefully for the Command of Allah. Either He would Punish them or He would Turn to them (Mercifully), and Allah is Knowing, Wise [9:106]

و قال سبحانه‏ ما كانَ لِلنَّبِيِّ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ وَ لَوْ كانُوا أُولِي قُرْبى‏ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ أَصْحابُ الْجَحِيمِ‏

And the Glorious Said: It was not for the Prophet and those who believe that they should seek Forgiveness for the Polytheists, even if they are their relatives, after it has become clear to them that they are inmates of the Blazing Fire [9:113]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِلَّ قَوْماً بَعْدَ إِذْ هَداهُمْ حَتَّى يُبَيِّنَ لَهُمْ ما يَتَّقُونَ‏

Up to the Words of the Exalted: It was not for Allah to Let stray a people after having Guided them until He Clarifies to then what they should be guarding against, [9:115]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ وَ إِذا ما أُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ أَيُّكُمْ زادَتْهُ هذِهِ إِيماناً فَأَمَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَزادَتْهُمْ إِيماناً وَ هُمْ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: And whenever a Chapter is Revealed, there is one of them who is saying, ‘Which of you has this increased in Eman?’ But, as for those who believe, it does increase them in Eman, and they rejoice [9:124]

وَ أَمَّا الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ فَزادَتْهُمْ رِجْساً إِلَى رِجْسِهِمْ وَ ماتُوا وَ هُمْ كافِرُونَ

And as for those in whose hearts is a disease, it increases uncleanness to their uncleanness, and they die while being Kafirs [9:125]

أَ وَ لا يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ يُفْتَنُونَ فِي كُلِّ عامٍ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لا يَتُوبُونَ وَ لا هُمْ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

Do they not see that they are being Tried once or twice in every year, yet they do not turn (to Allah) nor do they mind? [9:126]

وَ إِذا ما أُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ نَظَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِلى‏ بَعْضٍ هَلْ يَراكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا صَرَفَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَهُمْ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ لا يَفْقَهُونَ‏

And whenever a Chapter is Revealed, they look at each other (and say), ‘Did anyone see you?’ Then they disperse. Allah has Turned away their hearts because they are a people not pondering [9:127]

هود أَلا إِنَّهُمْ يَثْنُونَ صُدُورَهُمْ لِيَسْتَخْفُوا مِنْهُ أَلا حِينَ يَسْتَغْشُونَ ثِيابَهُمْ يَعْلَمُ ما يُسِرُّونَ وَ ما يُعْلِنُونَ إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِذاتِ الصُّدُورِ

(Surah) Hudas: Indeed! They are folding up their chests to conceal from Him; Indeed, (it is) when they are gathering their clothes. He Knows what they are keeping as secret and what they are making public. He is a Knower with the contents of the chests [11:5]

الرعد وَ الَّذِينَ آتَيْناهُمُ الْكِتابَ يَفْرَحُونَ بِما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَ مِنَ الْأَحْزابِ مَنْ يُنْكِرُ بَعْضَهُ قُلْ إِنَّما أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ وَ لا أُشْرِكَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ أَدْعُوا وَ إِلَيْهِ مَآبِ‏

(Surah) Al Ra’ad: And those Given the Book are rejoicing with what is Revealed unto You, and from the confederates are ones who deny part of it. Say: ‘But rather, I am Commanded that I should worship Allah and not associate with Him. To Him do I invite and to Him is the return [13:36]

الكهف‏ وَ اصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَداةِ وَ الْعَشِيِّ يُرِيدُونَ وَجْهَهُ وَ لا تَعْدُ عَيْناكَ عَنْهُمْ تُرِيدُ زِينَةَ الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ لا تُطِعْ مَنْ أَغْفَلْنا قَلْبَهُ عَنْ ذِكْرِنا وَ اتَّبَعَ هَواهُ وَ كانَ أَمْرُهُ فُرُطاً

(Surah) Al Kahf: And observe patience yourself along with those who are supplicating to their Lord morning and evening intending His Face, and do not stretch your eyes from them intending adornments of the life of the word, and do not obey one whose heart is heedless from Our Remembrance and is obeying his own desires, and his matter would always be neglected [18:28]

وَ قُلِ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَمَنْ شاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَ مَنْ شاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ

And say: ‘The Truth is from your Lord. So the one who so desires to, let him believe, and the one who so desires to, let him disbelieve’. [18:29]

النور وَ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْواجَهُمْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ شُهَداءُ إِلَّا أَنْفُسُهُمْ فَشَهادَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَرْبَعُ شَهاداتٍ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ‏ الآيات

(Surah) Al Noor: And those who accuse their wives and there do not happen to be any witnesses for them except for their own selves, so the testimony of one of them is four testimonies with Allah that he is from the truthful ones [24:6] – The Verses.

و قال تعالى‏ وَ يَقُولُونَ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِالرَّسُولِ وَ أَطَعْنا ثُمَّ يَتَوَلَّى فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ذلِكَ وَ ما أُولئِكَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And the Exalted Said: And they are saying, ‘We believe in Allah and in the Rasool and we obey!’ Then a group of them turned back after this, and they are not with the Momineen [24:47]

وَ إِذا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِذا فَرِيقٌ مِنْهُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ

And when they are called to Allah and His Rasool for him to judge between them, then a group of them are turning aside [24:48]

وَ إِنْ يَكُنْ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّ يَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِ مُذْعِنِينَ

And if the right happens to the for them, they come to him submissively [24:49]

أَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ أَمِ ارْتابُوا أَمْ يَخافُونَ أَنْ يَحِيفَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَسُولُهُ بَلْ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Is there a disease in their hearts, or are they doubting, or are they fearing that Allah and His Rasool would be prejudicial against them? But these, they are the unjust ones [24:50]

إِنَّما كانَ قَوْلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

But rather, the word of the Momineen when they are invited to Allah and His Rasool for him to judge between them is they are saying, ‘We hear and we obey!’ And these, they would be the successful ones [24:51]

وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ يَخْشَ اللَّهَ وَ يَتَّقْهِ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْفائِزُونَ

And one who obeys Allah and His Rasool and is afraid of Allah and fears Him, so these, they would be the victorious ones [24:52]

وَ أَقْسَمُوا بِاللَّهِ جَهْدَ أَيْمانِهِمْ لَئِنْ أَمَرْتَهُمْ لَيَخْرُجُنَّ قُلْ لا تُقْسِمُوا طاعَةٌ مَعْرُوفَةٌ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَبِيرٌ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ‏

And they swear by Allah with the most energetic of their oaths that if you command them they would certainly go forth. Say: ‘Do not swear! Reasonable obedience (is required). Surely, Allah is Aware of what you are doing [24:53]

القصص‏ الَّذِينَ آتَيْناهُمُ الْكِتابَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ هُمْ بِهِ يُؤْمِنُونَ وَ إِذا يُتْلى‏ عَلَيْهِمْ قالُوا آمَنَّا بِهِ إِنَّهُ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّنا إِنَّا كُنَّا مِنْ قَبْلِهِ مُسْلِمِينَ أُولئِكَ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ بِما صَبَرُوا

(Surah) Al Qasas: Those We had Given the Book from before him, they were believers in it [28:52]

العنكبوت‏ الم أَ حَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَ هُمْ لا يُفْتَنُونَ‏

(Surah) Al Ankabout: Do the people reckon that they will be left alone on saying, ‘We believe’, and they will not be Tried? [29:2]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَقُولُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِذا أُوذِيَ فِي اللَّهِ جَعَلَ فِتْنَةَ النَّاسِ كَعَذابِ اللَّهِ وَ لَئِنْ جاءَ نَصْرٌ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لَيَقُولُنَّ إِنَّا كُنَّا مَعَكُمْ أَ وَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِما فِي صُدُورِ الْعالَمِينَ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: And from the people there is one who says, ‘We believe in Allah!’ But when he is harmed in (the Way of) Allah, he regards the trial of the people as being a Punishment of Allah. And if Help from your Lord comes, they would be saying, ‘Surely we were with you’. Or, isn’t Allah more Knowing of what is in the chests (conscience) of the (people of the) worlds? [29:10]

وَ لَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ لَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْمُنافِقِينَ‏

And Allah will Make known those who believe and He will (also) Make known the hypocrites [29:11]

لقمان‏ وَ إِذا غَشِيَهُمْ مَوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّ فَمِنْهُمْ مُقْتَصِدٌ وَ ما يَجْحَدُ بِآياتِنا إِلَّا كُلُّ خَتَّارٍ كَفُورٍ

(Surah) Luqman: And whenever a wave overwhelms them like a canopy, they supplicate to Allah, being sincere to Him in the Religion. But when He Rescues them to the land, then from them are moderates ones; and none denies Our Signs except every treacherous, ungrateful one [31:32]

الأحزاب‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لا تُطِعِ الْكافِرِينَ وَ الْمُنافِقِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَلِيماً حَكِيماً

(Surah) Al Ahzaab: O you Prophet! Fear Allah and do not follow the Kafirs and the hypocrites, surely, Allah would always be Knowing, Wise [33:1]

وَ اتَّبِعْ ما يُوحى‏ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيراً

And follow what is Revealed to you from your Lord; surely Allah would always be Aware of what you are doing [33:2]

وَ تَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ وَكِيلًا

And rely upon Allah, and suffice with Allah as a Supporter [33:3]

ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ‏

Allah did not Make two hearts for a man to be inside him, [33:4]

و قال تعالى‏ لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ الْمُنافِقُونَ وَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَ الْمُرْجِفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لا يُجاوِرُونَكَ فِيها إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

And the Exalted Said: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the agitators in the city do not desist, We will Cause you to overpower them, then they will not be in your vicinity except for a little while [33:60]

مَلْعُونِينَ أَيْنَما ثُقِفُوا أُخِذُوا وَ قُتِّلُوا تَقْتِيلًا

(They are) Accursed! Wherever they are found they shall be seized and killed with a massacre [33:61]

سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ لَنْ تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلًا

Being a Sunnah of Allah regarding those who have gone before, and you will never find any alteration in the Sunnah of Allah [33:62]

سبأ وَ قالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ بِهذَا الْقُرْآنِ وَ لا بِالَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ‏

(Surah) Saba: And those who commit Kufr say, We will never believe in this Quran, nor in that which came before it’. [34:31]

الأحقاف‏ قُلْ أَ رَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ كانَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَ كَفَرْتُمْ بِهِ وَ شَهِدَ شاهِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ عَلى‏ مِثْلِهِ فَآمَنَ وَ اسْتَكْبَرْتُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ

(Surah) Al Ahqaaf: Say: ‘Have you considered if it was from the Presence of Allah, and you disbelieved in it? And a witness from the Children of Israel testified upon the like of it, so he believed and you were arrogant. Surely Allah does not Guide the unjust people [46:10]

وَ قالَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَوْ كانَ خَيْراً ما سَبَقُونا إِلَيْهِ وَ إِذْ لَمْ يَهْتَدُوا بِهِ فَسَيَقُولُونَ هذا إِفْكٌ قَدِيمٌ‏

And those who commit Kufr say for those who believe, ‘If it was good, they would not have preceded us to it’. And since they are not seeking Guidance with it, so they are saying, ‘This is an old lie!’ [46:11]

محمد وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَسْتَمِعُ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى إِذا خَرَجُوا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ قالُوا لِلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ ما ذا قالَ آنِفاً أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلى‏ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ اتَّبَعُوا أَهْواءَهُمْ‏

(Surah) Muhammadsaww: And from them are ones who listen intently to you until when they exit from your presence, so they are saying to the one Given the Knowledge, ‘What is that he said just now?’ They are those Allah has Sealed upon their hearts, and they are pursuing their whims [47:16]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ وَ يَقُولُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَوْ لا نُزِّلَتْ سُورَةٌ فَإِذا أُنْزِلَتْ سُورَةٌ مُحْكَمَةٌ وَ ذُكِرَ فِيهَا الْقِتالُ رَأَيْتَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ نَظَرَ الْمَغْشِيِّ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ فَأَوْلى‏ لَهُمْ

Up to the Words of the Exalted: And those who believe are saying: ‘If only a Chapter would be Revealed!’ But when a Decisive Chapter is Revealed, and fighting is mentioned therein, you see those in whose hearts is a disease looking at you with the look of one fainting from the death. Woe unto them! [47:20]

طاعَةٌ وَ قَوْلٌ مَعْرُوفٌ فَإِذا عَزَمَ الْأَمْرُ فَلَوْ صَدَقُوا اللَّهَ لَكانَ خَيْراً لَهُمْ

Obedience and a gentle word (is better), so when the matter is determined, had they ratified Allah it would have been better for them [47:21]

فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِنْ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ تُقَطِّعُوا أَرْحامَكُمْ‏

So if perhaps you were to be rulers, you would make mischief in the land and cut off your relationships [47:22]

أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَ أَعْمى‏ أَبْصارَهُمْ

They are those Allah has Cursed, so He Made Deafened them and Blinded their visions [47:23]

أَ فَلا يَتَدَبَّرُونَ الْقُرْآنَ أَمْ عَلى‏ قُلُوبٍ أَقْفالُها

So do they not ponder on the Quran, or are there locks upon (their) hearts [47:24]

إِنَّ الَّذِينَ ارْتَدُّوا عَلى‏ أَدْبارِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الْهُدَى الشَّيْطانُ سَوَّلَ لَهُمْ وَ أَمْلى‏ لَهُمْ

Surely, those who turned back upon their back from after the Guidance having become clarified to them, the Satan had enticed for them and dictated to them [47:25]

ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ قالُوا لِلَّذِينَ كَرِهُوا ما نَزَّلَ اللَّهُ سَنُطِيعُكُمْ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَمْرِ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِسْرارَهُمْ

That is because they said to those who abhorred what Allah Revealed, ‘We shall obey you in some of the matters’, and Allah Knows their secrets [47:26]

فَكَيْفَ إِذا تَوَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ يَضْرِبُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَ أَدْبارَهُمْ

But how would it be when the Angels cause them to die, striking their faces and their backs? [47:27]

ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمُ اتَّبَعُوا ما أَسْخَطَ اللَّهَ وَ كَرِهُوا رِضْوانَهُ فَأَحْبَطَ أَعْمالَهُمْ

That is because they follow what Angers Allah and abhor His Pleasure, therefore He Nullified their deeds [47:28]

أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ أَنْ لَنْ يُخْرِجَ اللَّهُ أَضْغانَهُمْ

Or do they in whose hearts is a disease, reckon that Allah will never Bring forth their grudges? [47:29]

وَ لَوْ نَشاءُ لَأَرَيْناكَهُمْ فَلَعَرَفْتَهُمْ بِسِيماهُمْ وَ لَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ أَعْمالَكُمْ

And if We so Desire, We would Show them to you, so you would recognise them by their marks, and you can (already) recognise them by their tone of speech, and Allah Knows your deeds [47:30]

وَ لَنَبْلُوَنَّكُمْ حَتَّى نَعْلَمَ الْمُجاهِدِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَ نَبْلُوَا أَخْبارَكُمْ‏

And We will Test you until We Make known the striving ones from you and the patient ones, and We Test your affairs [47:31]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ إِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ ثُمَّ لا يَكُونُوا أَمْثالَكُمْ‏

And the Exalted Said: And if you were to turn back, He would Replace you with another people, then they would not be like you [47:38]

الحجرات‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جاءَكُمْ فاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْماً بِجَهالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلى‏ ما فَعَلْتُمْ نادِمِينَ

(Surah) Al Hujuraat: O you who believe! If a transgressor comes to you with news, then investigate, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and you would become remorseful upon what you have done [49:6]

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ فِيكُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ يُطِيعُكُمْ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ لَعَنِتُّمْ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمانَ وَ زَيَّنَهُ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ كَرَّهَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْكُفْرَ وَ الْفُسُوقَ وَ الْعِصْيانَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الرَّاشِدُونَ

And know that among you is Rasool-Allah! If he were to obey you in many of the matters, you would be in difficulties. But, Allah Endeared the Eman to you and Adorned it in your hearts and Caused you to dislike the Kufr, and the transgression, and the disobedience. These are the ones who are Guided ones [49:7]

فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ نِعْمَةً وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ

Being a Grace from Allah and a Favour, and Allah is Knowing, Wise [49:8]

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 وَ أَقْسِطُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ

And if two parties from the Momineen fight, then reconcile between them. But, if one of them were to oppress the other, then fight the one which oppresses until it returns to the Command of Allah. So, when it does return, then reconcile between them with the justice and the fairness. Surely, Allah Loves the (people of) fairness [49:9]

إِنَّمَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ فَأَصْلِحُوا بَيْنَ أَخَوَيْكُمْ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

But rather, the Momineen are brothers, therefore reconcile between your brethren and fear Allah, perhaps you would be Shown Mercy [49:10]

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسى‏ أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْراً مِنْهُمْ وَ لا نِساءٌ مِنْ نِساءٍ عَسى‏ أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْراً مِنْهُنَّ وَ لا تَلْمِزُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ لا تَنابَزُوا بِالْأَلْقابِ بِئْسَ الِاسْمُ الْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ الْإِيمانِ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَتُبْ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ

O you those who believe! A people should not mock a people, perhaps they happen to be better than them, nor should women mock women, perhaps they happen to be better than them, nor should you insult each other, nor call each other with nicknames. Evil is the false name after the Eman; and ones who do not repent, so these ones, they are the unjust [49:11]

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيراً مِنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَ لا تَجَسَّسُوا وَ لا يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً أَ يُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتاً فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَحِيمٌ

O you those who believe! Shun most of the conjectures. Surely, some of the conjectures are a sin, nor should you spy or backbite each other. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his own dead brother? But, you would abhor it. And fear Allah, surely Allah is Oft-returning, Merciful [49:12]

يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْناكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَ أُنْثى‏ وَ جَعَلْناكُمْ شُعُوباً وَ قَبائِلَ لِتَعارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقاكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

O you people! We Created you from a male and a female and Made you as nations and tribes in order to recognise each other. Surely, the most honourable of you in the Presence of Allah is the most pious of you. Surely Allah is Knowing, Aware [49:13]

قالَتِ الْأَعْرابُ آمَنَّا قُلْ لَمْ تُؤْمِنُوا وَ لكِنْ قُولُوا أَسْلَمْنا وَ لَمَّا يَدْخُلِ الْإِيمانُ‏ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ إِنْ تُطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ لا يَلِتْكُمْ مِنْ أَعْمالِكُمْ شَيْئاً إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏

The Bedouins said, ‘We believe!’ Say: ‘You do not believe! But say, ‘We submitted’, and the Eman has not entered into your hearts. And if you were to obey Allah and His Rasool, He will not Reduce anything from your deeds. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful’ [49:14]

النجم‏ أَ فَرَأَيْتَ الَّذِي تَوَلَّى

(Surah) Al Najm: So have you seen the one who turns his back [53:33]

وَ أَعْطى‏ قَلِيلًا وَ أَكْدى‏

And gives a little and (then) is resentful [53:34]

أَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْغَيْبِ فَهُوَ يَرى‏

Is there with him knowledge of the unseen, so he can see? [53:35]

أَمْ لَمْ يُنَبَّأْ بِما فِي صُحُفِ مُوسى‏

Or, did he (the Rasool) not inform of what is in the Parchment of Musa? [53:36]

وَ إِبْراهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى

And (Parchment of) Ibrahim who fulfilled it? [53:37]

أَلَّا تَزِرُ وازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرى‏ وَ أَنْ لَيْسَ لِلْإِنْسانِ إِلَّا ما سَعى‏

A bearer of a burden will not bear the burden of another [53:38]

الحديد يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ آمِنُوا بِرَسُولِهِ يُؤْتِكُمْ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ نُوراً تَمْشُونَ بِهِ وَ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

(Surah) Al Hadeed: O you who believe! Fear Allah and believe in His Rasool, He will Give you two portions from His Mercy and He would Make a Light to be for you to be walking with, and He would Forgive (your sins) for you, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [57:28]

لِئَلَّا يَعْلَمَ أَهْلُ الْكِتابِ أَلَّا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلى‏ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ الْفَضْلَ بِيَدِ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ‏

In order for the People of the Book to know that they are not able upon anything from the Grace of Allah, and surely the Grace is in the Hand of Allah. He Gives it to one He so Desires to, and Allah is with the Mighty Grace [57:29]

المجادلة قَدْ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ قَوْلَ الَّتِي تُجادِلُكَ فِي زَوْجِها وَ تَشْتَكِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ يَسْمَعُ تَحاوُرَكُما إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ بَصِيرٌ

(Surah) Al Mujadilah: Allah has Heard the words of she who pleaded you regarding her husband and complained to Allah, and Allah Heard both your dialogues; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing [58:1]

و قال تعالى‏ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ تَوَلَّوْا قَوْماً غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ ما هُمْ مِنْكُمْ وَ لا مِنْهُمْ وَ يَحْلِفُونَ عَلَى الْكَذِبِ وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ

And the Exalted Said: Have you not seen those who befriend a people whom Allah is Wrathful upon? They are neither from you nor from them, and they are knowingly swearing upon the lie [58:14]

أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ عَذاباً شَدِيداً إِنَّهُمْ ساءَ ما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ‏

Allah has Prepared a severe Punishment for them. It was evil, what they were doing [58:15]

الممتحنة يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَتَوَلَّوْا قَوْماً غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ قَدْ يَئِسُوا مِنَ الْآخِرَةِ كَما يَئِسَ الْكُفَّارُ مِنْ أَصْحابِ الْقُبُورِ

(Surah) Al Mumtahana: O you who believe! Do not befriend a people Allah is Wrathful upon. They have despaired from the Hereafter just as the Kafirs despair from the occupants of the graves [60:13]

الجمعة يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ‏ هادُوا إِنْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَوْلِياءُ لِلَّهِ مِنْ دُونِ النَّاسِ فَتَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صادِقِينَ

(Surah) Al Jummah: Say: ‘O you, those who are Jews! If you are alleging that you are the friends of Allah besides the people, then wish for the death if you were truthful’ [62:6]

وَ لا يَتَمَنَّوْنَهُ أَبَداً بِما قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ اللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ

And they will never wish it, ever, due to what their hands have sent ahead, and Allah is Knowing of the unjust ones [62:7]

قُلْ إِنَّ الْمَوْتَ الَّذِي تَفِرُّونَ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مُلاقِيكُمْ ثُمَّ تُرَدُّونَ إِلى‏ عالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِما كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ‏

Say: ‘Surely the death which you are fleeing from, so it will meet you, then you will be sent back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen, and He will Inform you of what you had been doing [62:8]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ إِذا رَأَوْا تِجارَةً أَوْ لَهْواً انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْها وَ تَرَكُوكَ قائِماً قُلْ ما عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ وَ مِنَ التِّجارَةِ وَ اللَّهُ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ‏

And the Exalted Said: And when they see trade, or sport, they break (the Salat) to (go) to it, and they leave you standing. Say: ‘Whatever is in the Presence of Allah is better than the sport and the trade, and Allah is the best of the sustainers [62:11]

القلم‏ وَ إِنْ يَكادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌ

(Surah) Al Qalam: And those who commit Kufr would almost smite (strike) you with their eyes when they hear the Zikr, and they were saying, ‘He is insane!’ [68:51]

وَ ما هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِلْعالَمِينَ‏

And he is not, except (he is) a Zikr for the worlds [68:52]

الليل‏ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطى‏ وَ اتَّقى‏

(Surah) Al Layl: So, as for one who gives and fears [92:5]

وَ صَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنى‏

And ratifies the most excellent [92:6]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرى‏

So We will be Facilitating him to the ease [92:7]

وَ أَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَ اسْتَغْنى‏

And as for one who is stingy and (considers himself) needless [92:8]

وَ كَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنى‏

And belies the most excellent [92:9]

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرى‏

So We will be Facilitating him to the difficulties [92:10]

وَ ما يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مالُهُ إِذا تَرَدَّى‏ إلى آخر السورة

And his wealth will not avail him when he falls [92:11] - up to the end of the Chapter.

التكاثر أَلْهاكُمُ التَّكاثُرُ

(Surah) Al Takaasur: The augmentation diverts you [102:1]

حَتَّى زُرْتُمُ الْمَقابِرَ إلى آخر السورة.

Until you visit the graves [102:2] – up to the end of the Chapter.

قوله تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ لا يَحْزُنْكَ‏ قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُفَسِّرِينَ‏ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ خَيْبَرَ ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ بَيْنَهُمْ زَنَتْ مَعَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ وَ هُمَا مُحْصَنَانِ فَكَرِهُوا رَجْمَهُمَا فَأَرْسَلُوا إِلَى يَهُودِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ كَتَبُوا لَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوا النَّبِيَّ ص عَنْ ذَلِكَ طَمَعاً فِي أَنْ يَأْتِيَ لَهُمْ بِرُخْصَةٍ

The Words of the Exalted: O you Rasool! Do not let them grieve you [5:41] – Al-Tabarsi said, ‘Al-Baqirasws, and (so did) a group of the interpreters: ‘A woman from Khyber with nobility between them committed adultery with a man from their noble ones, and they were both married. So, they disliked stoning them, and they sent a message to the Jews of Al-Medina and wrote to them that they should ask the Prophetsaww about that, coveting regarding that hesaww should give them the allowance.

فَانْطَلَقَ قَوْمٌ مِنْهُمْ كَعْبُ بْنُ الْأَشْرَفِ وَ كَعْبُ بْنُ أُسَيْدٍ وَ شُعْبَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الضَّيْفِ‏ وَ كِنَانَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنِ الزَّانِيَةِ وَ الزَّانِي إِذَا أُحْصِنَا مَا حَدُّهُمَا

A group went and among them were Ka’ab Bin Al-Ashraf, and Ka’ab Bin Aseyd, and Sha’ba Bin Umar and Malik Bin Al-Sayf, and Kanana Bin Abu Al-Haqeeq and others. They said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Inform us about the adulterer and the adulteress, what are both their legal punishments (of the Law)?’

فَقَالَ وَ هَلْ تَرْضَوْنَ بِقَضَائِي فِي ذَلِكَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع بِالرَّجْمِ فَأَخْبَرَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ فَأَبَوْا أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ اجْعَلْ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ‏ ابْنَ صُورِيَا [وَ] وَصَفَهُ لَهُ‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَ شَابّاً أَمْرَدَ أَبْيَضَ أَعْوَرَ سَكَنَ فَدَكَ‏ يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ صُورِيَا قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَيُّ رَجُلٍ هُوَ فِيكُمْ قَالُوا أَعْلَمُ يَهُودِيٍّ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ‏ بِمَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُوسَى

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘And are you happy with mysaww judgement regarding that?’ They said, ‘Yes’. Jibraeelas descended with the (Verse of) stoning, and hesaww informed about that, but they refused to act upon it. Jibraeelas said: ‘Make Ibn Sowriya to be between yousaww and them’ – and described him to himsaww’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Do you all recognise a young one-eyed man who lives at Fadak, called Ibn Sowriya?’ They said, ‘Yes’. Hesaww said: ‘So what kind of man is he, among you?’ They said, ‘He is the most knowledgeable among the Jews about what Allahazwj Revealed unto Musaas’.

قَالَ فَأَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهِ فَفَعَلُوا فَأَتَاهُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صُورِيَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ التَّوْرَاةَ عَلَى مُوسَى وَ فَلَقَ لَكُمُ الْبَحْرَ فَأَنْجَاكُمْ وَ أَغْرَقَ آلَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ ظَلَّلَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْغَمَامَ وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَنَّ وَ السَّلْوَى هَلْ تَجِدُونَ فِي كِتَابِكُمُ الرَّجْمَ عَلَى مَنْ أُحْصِنَ

Hesaww said: ‘Then send for him’. They did that, and Abdullah Bin Sowriya came up, so the Prophetsaww said to them: ‘Isaww adjure you to Allahazwj, there is no god but Heazwj, Who Revealed the Torah unto Musaas, and Parted the sea for you, and Rescued you, and Drowned the people of the Pharaohla, and Shaded you with the clouds, and Caused the Manna and the Quails to descend upon you – did you find in your Book, the (penalty of) stoning upon the one who commits adultery?’

قَالَ ابْنُ صُورِيَا نَعَمْ وَ الَّذِي ذَكَّرْتَنِي بِهِ لَوْ لَا خَشْيَةُ أَنْ يُحْرِقَنِي رَبُّ التَّوْرَاةِ إِنْ كَذَبْتُ أَوْ غَيَّرْتُ مَا اعْتَرَفْتُ لَكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَخْبِرْنِي كَيْفَ هِيَ فِي كِتَابِكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَرْبَعَةُ رَهْطٍ عُدُولٍ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أَدْخَلَهُ فِيهَا كَمَا يَدْخُلُ الْمِيلُ فِي الْمُكْحُلَةِ وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ الرَّجْمُ

Ibn Sowriya said, ‘Yes, by the One Whoazwj Made me to remember it. Had I not feared that the Lordazwj of the Torah would Incinerate me, I would have lied or changed what yousaww have recognised. But, inform me, how is it in yoursaww Book, O Muhammadsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘When a group of four just men witness it, that he has entered her, just like the needle enters into the container, the stoning is obligated upon them’.

فَقَالَ ابْنُ صُورِيَا هَكَذَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ عَلَى مُوسَى فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ فَمَا ذَا كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا تَرَخَّصْتُمْ بِهِ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ

Ibn Sowriya said, ‘This is how Allahazwj has Revealed in the Torah upon Musaas’. So the Prophetsaww said to him: ‘If it was like that, then what gave you the leeway in the Command of Allahazwj?’

قَالَ كُنَّا إِذَا زَنَى الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكْنَاهُ وَ إِذَا زَنَى الضَّعِيفُ أَقَمْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ فَكَثُرَ الزِّنَى فِي أَشْرَافِنَا حَتَّى زَنَى ابْنُ عَمِّ مَلِكٍ لَنَا فَلَمْ نَرْجُمْهُ ثُمَّ زَنَى رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَأَرَادَ رَجْمَهُ‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَوْمُهُ لَا حَتَّى تَرْجُمَ فُلَاناً يَعْنُونَ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ

He said, ‘If the adulterer is the noble man, we leave him, and if the adulterer is the weak, we establish the legal punishment (of the Law) against him. Most of the adultery is committed among our noble people, to the extent that when the cousin of the king committed it, we did not stone him. Then another man committed adultery, so the king intended to have him stoned, but the people said to him, ‘No, until you stone such and such’ – meaning his cousin.

فَقُلْنَا تَعَالَوْا نَجْتَمِعْ فَلْنَضَعْ شَيْئاً دُونَ الرَّجْمِ يَكُونُ عَلَى الشَّرِيفِ وَ الْوَضِيعِ فَوَضَعْنَا الْجَلْدَ وَ التَّحْمِيمَ وَ هُوَ أَنْ يُجْلَدَا أَرْبَعِينَ جَلْدَةً ثُمَّ يُسَوَّدُ وُجُوهُهُمَا ثُمَّ يُحْمَلَانِ عَلَى حِمَارَيْنِ وَ يُجْعَلُ وُجُوهُهُمَا مِنْ قِبَلِ دُبُرِ الْحِمَارِ وَ يُطَافُ بِهِمَا فَجَعَلُوا هَذَا مَكَانَ الرَّجْمِ

They said, ‘Come, let us gather together and put something else in place of the stoning, to come upon the nobles and the lowly. We replaced it by the whipping and ‘Al-Tahmeen’, and it is the whipping of forty lashes, then we blacken the faces of both of them, then make them to be carried by two donkeys, being carried with their faces at the back of the donkeys, which circles with them. So we have made this to be in place of the stoning’.

فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ لِابْنِ صُورِيَا مَا أَسْرَعَ مَا أَخْبَرْتَهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ أَنْشَدَنِي بِالتَّوْرَاةِ وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمَا أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِهِ

The Jews said to Ibn Sowriya, ‘What was the hurry in informing himsaww about it?’ He said, ‘Hesaww adjured me with the Torah, and had it not been for that, I would not have informed him of it’.

فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا النَّبِيُّ ص فَرُجِمَا عِنْدَ بَابِ مَسْجِدِهِ وَ قَالَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَحْيَا أَمْرَكَ إِذَا أَمَاتُوهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ فِيهِ‏ يا أَهْلَ الْكِتابِ قَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولُنا يُبَيِّنُ لَكُمْ كَثِيراً مِمَّا كُنْتُمْ تُخْفُونَ مِنَ الْكِتابِ وَ يَعْفُوا عَنْ كَثِيرٍ

The Prophetsaww ordered with both of them and they were stoned by the door of the masjid, and hesaww said: ‘Isaww am the first one to revive Yourazwj Command when they had killed it’. So, Allahazwj the Glorious Revealed regarding it: O People of the Book! There has come to you Our Rasool Clarifying to you a lot of what you were concealing from the Book, and excusing about a lot. [5:15].

فَقَامَ ابْنُ صُورِيَا فَوَضَعَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْ رَسُولِ‏ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا مَقَامُ الْعَائِذِ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِكَ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ لَنَا الْكَثِيرَ الَّذِي أُمِرْتَ أَنْ تَعْفُوَ عَنْهُ فَأَعْرَضَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَنْ ذَلِكَ

Ibn Sowriya stood up and place his hand upon the shoulder of Rasool-Allahsaww, then said, ‘(At) this place, I seek Refuge with Allahazwj and with yousaww that yousaww reminded to us the lot which I had been Commanded and yousaww have pardoned from it’. The Prophetsaww turned away from that.

ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ ابْنُ صُورِيَا عَنْ نَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ تَنَامُ عَيْنَايَ وَ لَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ شَبَهِ الْوَلَدِ بِأَبِيهِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِنْ شَبَهِ أُمِّهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَوْ بِأُمِّهِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مِنْ شَبَهِ أَبِيهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ

Then Ibn Sowriya asked himsaww about hissaww sleep. Hesaww said, ‘Mysaww eyes sleep but mysaww heart does not sleep’. He said, ‘Yousaww speak the truth. Inform me about the resemblance of the child resembling with his father, there not being any resemblance in him anything from the resemblance of his mother, or with his mother and not having any resemblance in him of anything from his father’.

فَقَالَ أَيُّهُمَا عَلَا وَ سَبَقَ مَاؤُهُ مَاءَ صَاحِبِهِ كَانَ الشَّبَهُ لَهُ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي مَا لِلرَّجُلِ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ وَ مَا لِلْمَرْأَةِ مِنْهُ

Hesaww said: ‘Whichever water of the two is higher and precedes its counterpart, the resemblance would be for him’. He said, ‘Yousaww speak the truth. Inform me, what is for the man from the child and what is for the woman from him?’

قَالَ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ خُلِّيَ عَنْهُ مُحْمَرّاً وَجْهُهُ يُفِيضُ عَرَقاً فَقَالَ اللَّحْمُ وَ الدَّمُ وَ الظُّفُرُ وَ الشَّعْرُ لِلْمَرْأَةِ وَ الْعَظْمُ وَ الْعَصَبُ وَ الْعُرُوقُ لِلرَّجُلِ قَالَ لَهُ صَدَقْتَ أَمْرُكَ أَمْرُ نَبِيٍّ

He (the narrator) said, ‘There was prolonged fainting upon Rasool-Allahsaww, then it vacated from himsaww (leaving himsaww with) redness of face, sweating profusely. Hesaww said: ‘The flesh, and the blood, and the nails, and the hair is for the woman, and the bones and the nerves and the veins are for the man’. He said, ‘Yousaww speak the truth. Yoursaww matter is a matter of a Prophetas’.

فَأَسْلَمَ ابْنُ صُورِيَا عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ يَأْتِيكَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ قَالَ صِفْهُ لِي فَوَصَفَهُ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ كَمَا قُلْتَ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَقّاً

Ibn Sowriya became a Muslim during that and said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Who from the Angels comes to yousaww?’ Hesaww Jibraeelas’. He said, ‘Describe himas to me’. The Prophetsaww described himas’. He said, ‘I testify that it is so in the Torah just as yousaww are saying, and yousaww are a Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, truly’.

فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ ابْنُ صُورِيَا وَقَعَتْ فِيهِ الْيَهُودُ وَ شَتَمُوهُ فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَنْهَضُوا تَعَلَّقَتْ بَنُو قُرَيْظَةَ بِبَنِي النَّضِيرِ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِخْوَانُنَا بَنُو النَّضِيرِ أَبُونَا وَاحِدٌ وَ دِينُنَا وَاحِدٌ وَ نَبِيُّنَا وَاحِدٌ إِذَا قَتَلُوا مِنَّا قَتِيلًا لَمْ يَفْدُونَا وَ أَعْطَوْنَا دِيَتَهُ سَبْعِينَ وَسْقاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَ إِذَا قَتَلْنَا مِنْهُمْ قَتِيلًا قَتَلُوا الْقَاتِلَ وَ أَخَذُوا مِنَّا الضِّعْفَ مِائَةً وَ أَرْبَعِينَ وَسْقاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ

When Ibn Sowriya became a Muslim, the Jews fell upon him and cursed him. When they wanted to arise, the clan of Qureyza met the clan of Al-Nazeer and they said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Our brothers the clan of Al-Nazeer, our father is one, and our Religion is one, and our Prophetsaww is one. Then they killed someone from us they do not equate with us, and they give us wergild of seventy (Dinars) and a basket of dates, and when we kill someone from them, they kill the killer and take the double from us, one hundred and forty (Dinars) and two basket of dates.

وَ إِنْ كَانَ الْقَتِيلُ امْرَأَةً قَتَلُوا بِهَا الرَّجُلَ مِنَّا وَ بِالرَّجُلِ مِنْهُمُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنَّا وَ بِالْعَبْدِ الْحُرَّ مِنَّا وَ جِرَاحَاتُنَا عَلَى النِّصْفِ مِنْ جِرَاحَاتِهِمْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي الرَّجْمِ وَ الْقِصَاصِ الْآيَاتِ‏.

And if the killed one was a woman, they kill the man from us for her, and with the man from them, two men from us, and with the slave the free one from us, and they our injuries are upon the half from their injuries. So, judge between us and them’. So, Allahazwj Revealed the Verses regarding the stoning and the retaliation’’ (مجمع البيان 3: 193 و 194)

و في قوله تعالى‏ لا تَسْئَلُوا عَنْ أَشْياءَ اختلف في نزولها فَقِيلَ سَأَلَ النَّاسُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى أَخْفَوْهُ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ فَقَامَ مُغْضَباً خَطِيباً فَقَالَ سَلُونِي فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا تَسْأَلُونِّي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا بَيَّنْتُهُ لَكُمْ

And regarding the Words of the Exalted: O you who believe! Do not ask about things [5:101] – there is differing regarding its Revelation. It is said the people asked Rasool-Allahsaww to the extent that they exhausted himsaww with the questions, so hesaww stood upon angry addressing and hesaww said: ‘Ask mesaww, for by Allahazwj you will not ask mesaww about anything except Isaww will explain it to you’.

فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَهْمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ وَ كَانَ يُطْعَنُ فِي نَسَبِهِ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَبِي فَقَالَ أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ

A man from the clan of Sahm called Abdullah Bin Huzaqa, and used to be taunted regarding his lineage. He said, ‘O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj! Who is my father?’ Hesaww said: ‘Your father is Huzaqa Bin Qays’.

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ أَبِي فَقَالَ فِي النَّارِ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ وَ قَبَّلَ رِجْلَ‏ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ إِنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَ شِرْكٍ فَاعْفُ عَنَّا عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكَ فَسَكَنَ غَضَبُهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ صُوِّرَتْ لِيَ الْجَنَّةُ وَ النَّارُ آنِفاً فِي عَرْضِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَ الشَّرِّ- عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ‏.

Another man stood up to himsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Where is my father?’ Hesaww said: ‘In the Fire (Hell)’. So, Umar stood up, and the man faced Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! We are in a new Covenant than the pre-Islamic period and Shirk, so pardon us, may Allahazwj Pardon yousaww’. The anger of Rasool-Allahsaww subsided and hesaww said: ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul! The Paradise has been picturised for mesaww and (so was) the Fire just now in the width of this garden and Isaww have not seen like today regarding the good and the evil’. – From Al-Zuhry and Qatadah from Anas (famous Ahadith fabricator).

وَ قِيلَ كَانَ قَوْمٌ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص اسْتِهْزَاءً مَرَّةً وَ امْتِحَاناً مَرَّةً فَيَقُولُ لَهُ بَعْضُهُمْ مَنْ أَبِي وَ يَقُولُ الْآخَرُ أَيْنَ أَبِي وَ يَقُولُ الْآخَرُ إِذَا ضَلَّتْ نَاقَتُهُ أَيْنَ نَاقَتِي فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ- عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ‏.

And it is said it was a group asking Rasool-Allahsaww mocking at times and testing at times, so one of them said to himsaww, ‘Who is my father’, and the other one said when his camel had strayed, ‘Where is my camel?’ So, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed this Verse. – From Ibn Abbas.

وَ قِيلَ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ فَقَامَ عُكَّاشَةُ بْنُ مِحْصَنٍ وَ يُرْوَى سُرَاقَةُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ أَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى عَادَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَيْحَكَ وَ مَا يُؤْمِنُكَ أَنْ أَقُولَ نَعَمْ وَ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَ لَوْ وَجَبَتْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَ لَوْ تَرَكْتُمْ كَفَرْتُمْ فَاتْرُكُونِي مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ

And it is said Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Allahazwj has Prescribed the Hajj upon you all’. So, Ukasha Bin Mihsan stood up, and it is reported it was Suraqa Bin Malik, and he said, ‘Is it during every year, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww turned away from him until he repeated it twice or thrice. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Woe be unto you! And what makes you believe that Isaww would be saying yes? By Allahazwj! And if Isaww were to say yes, it would become Obligatory, and if it becomes Obligatory, you will not be able to, and if you were to leave it, you will be committing Kufr, then you will neglect mesaww what you will be neglecting.

فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَ إِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَاجْتَنِبُوهُ- عن علي بن أبي طالب ع و أبي أمامة الباهلي‏.

But rather, destroyed were the ones before you due to the large number of their questions and their opposition against their Prophetsas. So, whenever Isaww order you all with something, then perform from it whatever you are able to, and when Isaww forbid you all from something, then shun it’ – From Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and Abu Amama Al-Bahily.

رَوَى الثَّعْلَبِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ الْمَلَأُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عِنْدَهُ صُهَيْبٌ وَ خَبَّابٌ وَ بِلَالٌ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ مِنْ ضُعَفَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَ رَضِيتَ بِهَؤُلَاءِ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ أَ فَنَحْنُ نَكُونُ تَبَعاً لَهُمْ أَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ اطْرُدْهُمْ عَنْكَ فَلَعَلَّكَ إِنْ طَرَدْتَهُمْ اتَّبَعْنَاكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ لا تَطْرُدِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ

It is reported by Al-Sa’alby, by his chain from Abdullah Bin Masoud who said, ‘The chiefs of Qureyh passed by Rasool-Allahsaww and in hissaww presence were Suheyb, and Khabbab, and Bilal, and Ammar, and others from the weak ones of the Muslims. They said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Are yousaww pleased with these ones from yoursaww people? Should we become followers of them? Are they those whom Allahazwj has Conferred upon? Expel them from yousaww, for if yousaww were to expel them perhaps we would follow yousaww’. So Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed: (Surah) Al Anaam: And do not expel [6:52] – up to its end.

وَ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ وَ خَبَّابٌ فِينَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ جَاءَ الْأَقْرَعُ بْنُ حَابِسٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ وَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ وَ ذَوُوهُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ فَوَجَدُوا النَّبِيَّ ص قَاعِداً مَعَ بِلَالٍ وَ صُهَيْبٍ وَ عَمَّارٍ وَ خَبَّابٍ فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ ضُعَفَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And Salmanra and Khabab said, ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding us. Al-Aqra’u Bin Habis Al-Tameemi and Uyayna Bin Hisn Al-Fazary and their personnel from the ones with inclined hearts came, and they found the Prophetsaww seated with Bilalra and Suheyb and Ammar and Khabbab among some people from the weak ones of the Momineen.

فَحَقَّرُوهُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ نَحَّيْتَ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنْكَ حَتَّى نَخْلُوَ بِكَ فَإِنَّ وُفُودَ الْعَرَبِ تَأْتِيكَ فَنَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ يَرَوْنَا مَعَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَعْبُدِ ثُمَّ إِذَا انْصَرَفْنَا فَإِنْ شِئْتَ فَأَعِدْهُمْ إِلَى مَجْلِسِكَ

They belittled them and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! If yousaww could isolate these ones from yousaww until we can be alone with yousaww, for delegations of the Arabs come to yousaww and we are embarrassed that they would see us with these slaves. Then when we leave, then if yousaww so like, yousaww can sit them in yoursaww gathering’.

فَأَجَابَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالا لَهُ اكْتُبْ لَنَا بِهَذَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ كِتَاباً فَدَعَا بِصَحِيفَةٍ وَ أَحْضَرَ عَلِيّاً ع لِيَكْتُبَ

The Prophetsaww answered them to that, and they said to himsaww, ‘Write a letter (agreement) for us with this upon yourselfsaww’. Hesaww called for a paper and Aliasws presented to write.

قَالَ وَ نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ إِذْ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع بِقَوْلِهِ‏ وَ لا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّاكِرِينَ‏ فَنَحَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الصَّحِيفَةَ وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا وَ دَنَوْنَا مِنْهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ‏ كَتَبَ‏ رَبُّكُمْ‏ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ فَكُنَّا نَقْعُدُ مَعَهُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُومَ قَامَ وَ تَرَكْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ اصْبِرْ نَفْسَكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ‏ الْآيَةَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘And we were seated in a corner when Jibraeelas descended with Hisazwj Words: And do not expel those who are supplicating [6:52] – up to Hisazwj Words: Isn’t Allah more Knowing with the grateful ones? [6:53]. So, Rasool-Allahsaww kept the paper aside and faced towards us and drew us closer to himsaww and hesaww said: ‘Your Lordazwj has Prescribed being the Beneficent upon Himselfazwj’. We were seated with himsaww, and when we intended to arise, hesaww stood up and we left, and Allahazwj Revealed: And observe patience yourself along with those [18:28] – the Verse.

قَالَ فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقْعُدُ مَعَنَا وَ يَدْنُو حَتَّى كَادَتْ رُكْبَتُنَا تَمَسُّ رُكْبَتَهُ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي يَقُومُ فِيهَا قُمْنَا وَ تَرَكْنَاهُ حَتَّى يَقُومَ وَ قَالَ لَنَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يُمِتْنِي حَتَّى أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَصْبِرَ نَفْسِي مَعَ قَوْمٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَعَكُمُ الْمَحْيَا وَ مَعَكُمُ الْمَمَاتُ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww sat with us and we went closer until our knees touched hissaww knees. When the time approached in which hesaww stood during it, we stood up and left himsaww until hesaww stood up and said to us: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj who did not Cause mesaww to die until Heazwj Commanded mesaww to be patient myselfsaww with a group from mysaww community. With you all is the life and with you all is the death!’’ (مجمع البيان 4: 305)

و قال الطبرسي في قوله تعالى‏ وَ إِذا جاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ‏ اختلف فيمن‏ فقيل نزلت في الذين نهى الله عز و جل نبيه عن طردهم وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا رَآهُمْ بَدَأَهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ وَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ فِي أُمَّتِي مَنْ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَبْدَأَهُمْ بِالسَّلَامِ- عن عكرمة.

And Al-Tabarsi said regarding the Words of the Exalted: And when they come to you, those who are believing [6:54] – there is a differing among the ones. It is said it was Revealed regarding those Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Forbade Hisazwj Prophetsaww from expelling them, and it was so that the Prophetsaww, whenever hesaww saw them, would begin with greeting them and said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Made to be in mysaww community one who instructs mesaww that I should begin with the greetings (Salaam)’. – From Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl).

قيل عبد الله بن سعد بن أبي سرح أملى عليه رسول الله ص ذات يوم‏ وَ لَقَدْ خَلَقْنَا الْإِنْسانَ مِنْ سُلالَةٍ مِنْ طِينٍ‏ إلى قوله‏ ثُمَّ أَنْشَأْناهُ خَلْقاً آخَرَ فجرى على لسان ابن أبي سرح‏ فَتَبارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخالِقِينَ‏ فأملاه عليه و قال هكذا أنزل

It is said, Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh, one day Rasool-Allahsaww dictated to him: And We have Created the human being from an extract of clay [23:12] – up to Hisazwj Words: then We Grow it as another creation [23:14]. (The Verse): So Blessed is Allah, the best of the Creators [23:14]. So, hesaww dictated it to him and said: ‘That is how it is Revealed’.

فارتد عدو الله و قال إن كان محمد صادقا فلقد أوحي إلي كما أوحي إليه و لئن كان كاذبا فلقد قلت كما قال و ارتد عن الإسلام و هدر رسول الله ص دمه فلما كان يوم الفتح جاء به عثمان و قد أخذ بيده و رسول الله ص في المسجد فقال يا رسول الله اعف عنه

But the enemy of Allahazwj reneged and said, ‘If Muhammadsaww was truthful, so it has been Revealed to me just as it gets Revealed to himsaww, and if hesaww was a liar, so I have said just as hesaww has said’, and he reneged from Al-Islam, and Rasool-Allahsaww Legalised his blood. When it was the day of the conquest (of Makkah), Usman came with him, and he had grabbed his hand and Rasool-Allahsaww was in the Masjid. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Pardon him’.

فسكت رسول الله ص ثم أعاد فسكت ثم أعاد فقال هو لك فلما مر قال رسول الله ص لأصحابه أ لم أقل من رآه فليقتله فقال‏ عبد الله بن بشر كانت عيني إليك يا رسول الله أن تشير إلي فأقتله فقال ص الأنبياء لا يقتلون بالإشارة.

Hesaww was silent. Then he reiterated, and hesaww was silent. Then he reiterated, so hesaww said: ‘He is for you’. When he went, Rasool-Allahsaww said to hissaww companions: ‘Did Isaww not say to you that the one who sees him, should kill him?’ Abdullah Bin Bishr said, ‘My eyes were (looking) towards yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww, if yousaww indicate to me, then I would kill him’. Hesaww said: ‘The Prophetsas do not kill by the indications’’.

قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقْسِمُ قِسْماً وَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَتْ غَنَائِمَ هَوَازِنَ يَوْمَ‏ حُنَيْنٍ إِذْ جَاءَهُ ابْنُ أَبِي الْخُوَيْصِرَةِ التَّمِيمِيُّ وَ هُوَ حُرْقُوصُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ أَصْلُ الْخَوَارِجِ فَقَالَ اعْدِلْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ وَ مَنْ يَعْدِلُ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ

Al-Tabarsi said, ‘From Abu Saeed Al-Khudry who said, ‘While Rasool-Allahsaww was distributing the distributions’, and Ibn Abbas said it was the war booty of Hawazin on the day of Hunayn, ‘when Ibn Abu Al-Khowseyra Al-Tameemi came and he is Hukus Bin Zaheer origin of Al-Khawarij. He said, ‘Be fair, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Woe be unto you! And who is more fair if Isaww am not fair (just)?’

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ائْذَنْ لِي فَأَضْرِبَ عُنُقَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص دَعْهُ فَإِنَّ لَهُ أَصْحَاباً يَحْتَقِرُ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلَاتَهُ عِنْدَ صَلَاتِهِمْ وَ صِيَامَهُ مَعَ صِيَامِهِمْ يَمْرُقُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَمْرُقُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ .

Umar said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Can you allow me to strike off his neck?’ The Prophetsaww said: ‘Leave him, for there are companions for him, the Salat of one of you is belittled with their Salats, and his Fast with their Fasts. They are straight from the Religion just as the arrows are straight from the archer’.

قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قِيلَ‏ نَزَلَتْ فِي ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ حَاطِبٍ وَ كَانَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ص ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي مَالًا فَقَالَ يَا ثَعْلَبَةُ قَلِيلٌ تُؤَدِّي شُكْرَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْ كَثِيرٍ لَا تُطِيقُهُ أَ مَا لَكَ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أُسْوَةٌ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ تَسِيرَ الْجِبَالُ مَعِي ذَهَباً وَ فِضَّةً لَسَارَتْ

Al-Tabarsi said, ‘It was Revealed regarding Sa’alba Bin Hatib, and he was from the Helpers. He said to the Prophetsaww, ‘Supplicate to Allahazwj to Grace me wealth’. Hesaww said: ‘O Sa’alba! Little (wealth) you give thanks for is better than a lot (of wealth) you can endure. Isn’t there an exemplary example in Rasool-Allahsaww for you? By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul! If Isaww wanted Isaww to transform the mountain with mesaww into gold and silver, it would transform’.

ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي مَالًا وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَئِنْ رَزَقَنِيَ اللَّهُ مَالًا لَأُعْطِيَنَّ كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ فَقَالَ ص اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْ ثَعْلَبَةَ مَالًا

Then he came to himsaww after that and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Supplicate to Allahazwj to Grace me wealth. By the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth! If Allahazwj were to Grace me wealth, I would give to every one with a right, his right’. Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Grace Sa’alba wealth’.

قَالَ فَاتَّخَذَ غَنَماً فَنَمَتْ كَمَا يَنْمِي الدُّودُ فَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَدِينَةُ فَتَنَحَّى عَنْهَا فَنَزَلَ وَادِياً مِنْ أَوْدِيَتِهَا ثُمَّ كَثُرَتْ نُمُوّاً حَتَّى تَبَاعَدَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَاشْتَغَلَ بِذَلِكَ عَنِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ الْجَمَاعَةِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He took sheep and they multiplied just as the insects tend to multiply. Al-Madina seemed too narrow for him, so he isolated from it. He descended at a valley from its valley. Then the prosperity increased until he distanced from Al-Medina. He got too pre-occupied with that from the Friday and the congregation.

وَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمُصَدِّقَ لِيَأْخُذَ الصَّدَقَةَ فَأَبَى وَ بَخِلَ وَ قَالَ مَا هَذِهِ إِلَّا أُخْتُ الْجِزْيَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا وَيْحَ ثَعْلَبَةَ يَا وَيْحَ ثَعْلَبَةَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْآيَاتِ- عن أبي أمامة الباهلي و روي ذلك مرفوعا.

And Rasool-Allahsaww sent Al-Musaddiq in order to take the charity. He refused and was stingy and said, ‘What is this except a sister of the taxation?’ Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O woe be unto Sa’alba! O woe be unto Sa’alba!’ So Allahazwj Revealed the Verses – from Abu Amama Al-Bahily, and he reported that with an unbroken chain’.

قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ رَوَى الضَّحَّاكُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ وَ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَناتِ‏ قَالَ عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ رَأَى رَجُلٌ مِنَّا مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَإِنْ أَخْبَرَ بِمَا رَأَى جُلِدَ ثَمَانِينَ وَ إِنِ الْتَمَسَ أَرْبَعَةَ شُهَدَاءَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ قَدْ قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ مَضَى قَالَ كَذَلِكَ أُنْزِلَتِ الْآيَةُ يَا عَاصِمُ

Al-Tabarsi said, ‘Al-Zahhak, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When the Verse: And those who slander the chaste women [24:4], was Revealed, Aasim Bin Aday said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! If a man from us were to see (another) man with his wife, and if he informs with what he has seen, he would be whipped eighty (lashes), and if the four witnesses are sought, the man would have already fulfilled his need, then gone’. Hesaww said: ‘Like that the Verse has been Revealed, O Aasim’.

فَخَرَجَ سَامِعاً مُطِيعاً فَلَمْ يَصِلْ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَقْبَلَهُ هِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ يَسْتَرْجِعُ فَقَالَ مَا وَرَاءَكَ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ شَرِيكَ بْنَ سَمْحَا عَلَى بَطْنِ امْرَأَتِي خَوْلَةَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَخْبَرَهُ هِلَالٌ بِالَّذِي كَانَ

He went out having listened, obeyed, and he had not arrived to his house until Hilal Bin Umaya met him saying, ‘We are from Allahazwj and to Himazwj we are returning’. He said, ‘What is behind you?’ He said, ‘I found Shareek Bin Samha upon the belly of my wife in private’. He returned to the Prophetsaww and Hilal informed himsaww with that which had happened.

فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ مَا يَقُولُ زَوْجُكِ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ابْنَ سَمْحَا كَانَ يَأْتِينَا فَيَنْزِلُ بِنَا فَيَتَعَلَّمُ الشَّيْ‏ءَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَرُبَّمَا تَرَكَهُ عِنْدِي وَ خَرَجَ زَوْجِي فَلَا أَدْرِي أَدْرَكَتْهُ الْغَيْرَةُ أَمْ بَخِلَ عَلَيَّ بِالطَّعَامِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى آيَةَ اللِّعَانِ:.

Hesaww sent for her and said: ‘What is your husband saying?’ She said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Ibn Samha used to come to us and descend with us, and he would teach something from the Quran. Sometime he would leave him with me and my husband went out, and I do not know whether the jealousy came across him or he is being stingy with me with the food’. So Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed the Verse of the cursing’.

وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ‏ وَ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ الْمُحْصَناتِ‏ الْآيَةَ قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ رَأَيْتَ إِنْ رَأَى رَجُلٌ مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ رَجُلًا فَقَتَلَهُ يَقْتُلُونَهُ وَ إِنْ أَخْبَرَ بِمَا رَأَى جُلِدَ ثَمَانِينَ أَ فَلَا يَضْرِبُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ

And from Al-Hassan who said, ‘When the Verse: And those who slander the chaste women [24:4], Sa’ad Bin Ubada said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What is yoursaww view if a man sees (another) man with his wife and kills him, so he would be killed, and if he informs with what he had seen, he would be whipped eighty (lashes), would he not be struck with the sword?’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كَفَى بِالسَّيْفِ شَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقُولَ‏ شَاهِداً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَ وَ قَالَ لَوْ لَا أَنْ يَتَتَابَعَ فِيهِ السَّكْرَانُ وَ الْغَيْرَانُ.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Suffice with the sword. If he want he can say as a witness’. Then hesaww was silent, and hesaww said: ‘You cannot follow regarding it, the intoxicated and the jealous one’’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ لَوْ أَتَيْتُ لَكَاعِ وَ قَدْ تَفَخَّذَهَا رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي أَنْ أُهَيِّجَهُ حَتَّى آتِيَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ لِآتِيَ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَاءَ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ وَ يَذْهَبَ وَ إِنْ قُلْتُ مَا رَأَيْتُ إِنَّ فِي ظَهْرِي لَثَمَانِينَ جَلْدَةً

And in a report of Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl), from Ibn Abbas, ‘Sa’ad Bin Ubada said, ‘If I come foolishly, and a man had taken her, it would not happen to be for me that I fight him until I come with four witnesses. By Allahazwj! It would not (possible) for me to come with four witnesses until he would be free from his need and gone; and if I were to say what I had seen there would be eighty lashes in my back’.

فَقَالَ ص يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُونَ إِلَى مَا قَالَ سَيِّدُكُمْ فَقَالُوا لَا تَلُمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ غَيُورٌ مَا تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً قَطُّ إِلَّا بِكْراً وَ لَا طَلَّقَ امْرَأَةً لَهُ فَاجْتَرَأَ امْرُؤٌ مِنَّا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجَهَا

Hesaww said: ‘O community of the Helpers! Are you not listening to what your chief said?’ They said, ‘He is a jealous man. He has not married a woman at all except a virgin, nor divorced a wife of his so a person from us would dare to marry her’.

فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي وَ اللَّهِ لَأَعْتَرِفُ أَنَّهَا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ وَ لَكِنْ عَجِبْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لِمَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ فَقَالَ ص فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْبَى إِلَّا ذَاكَ فَقَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ

Sa’ad Bin Ubada said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, may my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) yousaww! By Allahazwj, I do acknowledge that it is from Allahazwj and it is true, but I wonder from that due to what I have informed yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj has Refused except that’. He said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww speak the truth’.

فَلَمْ يَلْبَثُوا إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى جَاءَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ هِلَالُ بْنُ أُمَيَّةَ مِنْ حَدِيقَةٍ لَهُ قَدْ رَأَى رَجُلًا مَعَ امْرَأَتِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ غَدَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ إِنِّي جِئْتُ أَهْلِي عِشَاءً فَوَجَدْتُ مَعَهَا رَجُلًا رَأَيْتُهُ بِعَيْنِي وَ سَمِعْتُهُ بِأُذُنِي

It was not long except a little until a cousin of his called Hilal Bin Umaya came from a garden of his. He had seen a man with his wife. When it was morning he came to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘I went to my wife in the evening and found a man with her. I have seen him with my eyes and heard him with my ears’.

فَكَرِهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى رَأَى الْكَرَاهَةَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ هِلَالٌ إِنِّي لَأَرَى الْكَرَاهَةَ فِي وَجْهِكَ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ إِنِّي لَصَادِقٌ وَ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْعَلَ اللَّهُ لِي فَرَجاً فَهَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَضْرِبَهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww dislike it until the abhorrence was seen in hissaww face. Hilal said, ‘I see the abhorrence in yoursaww face, and Allahazwj Knows that I am truthful and I wish Allahazwj would Make a relief to be for me’. Rasool-Allahsaww thought of hitting him.

قَالَ وَ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ وَ قَالُوا ابْتُلِينَا بِمَا قَالَ سَعْدٌ أَ يُجْلَدُ هِلَالٌ وَ تَبْطُلُ شَهَادَتُهُ فَنَزَلَ الْوَحْيُ وَ أَمْسَكُوا عَنِ الْكَلَامِ حِينَ عَرَفُوا أَنَّ الْوَحْيَ قَدْ نَزَلَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ الَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْواجَهُمْ‏ الْآيَاتِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘And the Helpers gathered and said, ‘We are Tried with what Sa’ad has said. Hilal would be shipped and his testimony would be nullified. The Revelation descended and they withheld from the speech, when they recognised that the Revelation had descended. Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed: And those who accuse their wives [24:6] – the Verse.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَبْشِرْ يَا هِلَالُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ جَعَلَ فَرَجاً فَقَالَ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرْجُو ذَلِكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ ص أَرْسِلُوا إِلَيْهَا فَجَاءَتْ فَلَاعَنَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَلَمَّا انْقَضَى اللِّعَانُ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا وَ قَضَى أَنَّ الْوَلَدَ لَهَا وَ لَا يُدْعَى لِأَبٍ وَ لَا يُرْمَى وَلَدُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَهُوَ لِزَوْجِهَا وَ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَهُوَ لِلَّذِي قِيلَ فِيهِ‏.

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Receive glad tidings, O Hilal, for Allahazwj had Made a relief’. He said, ‘I have been wishing for that from Allahazwj the Exalted. Hesaww said: ‘Send for her’. She came, and there was cursing between the two. When the curses were accomplished, hesaww effected separation between the two and judged that the child would be for her and will not be called to a father, nor would her child be stoned. Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘If she comes with the child being as such and such, then he is for her husband, and if he she comes with it as such and such, then he would be for the ones it is said regarding him’’.

روى السدي عن مصعب بن سعيد عن أبيه قال‏ لما كان يوم فتح مكة أمن رسول الله ص الناس إلا أربعة نفر قال اقتلوهم و إن وجدتموهم متعلقين بأستار الكعبة عكرمة بن أبي جهل و عبد الله بن أختل‏ و قيس بن صبابة و عبد الله بن أبي سرح.

It is reported by Al-Sady (non-Shia source), from Mas’ab, from his father who said, ‘When it was conquest of Makkah, Rasool-Allahsaww granted safety to the people except four persons. Hesaww said: ‘Kill them and even if you find them adhering with the curtains of the Kabah – Ikrimah Bin Abu Jahl, and Abdullah Ibn Akhtal, and Qay Bin Sababa, and Abdullah Bin Abu Sarh’.

فأما عكرمة فركب البحر فأصابتهم ريح عاصفة فقال أهل السفينة أخلصوا فإن آلهتكم لا تغني عنكم شيئا هاهنا فقال عكرمة لئن لم ينجني في البحر إلا الإخلاص ما ينجيني في البر غيره اللهم إن لك علي عهدا إن أنت عافيتني مما أنا فيه أني آتي‏ محمدا حتى أضع يدي في يده فلأجدنه عفوا كريما فجاء فأسلم‏.

As for Ikrimah, he sailed the sea and a stormy wind hit them and the people of the ship said, ‘Be sincere for your gods cannot avail you of anything over here’. Ikrimah said, ‘If nothing can rescue me in the sea except for the sincerity, nothing will rescue me in the land except for it. O Allahazwj! There is a pact for Youazwj upon me that if Youazwj were to Rescue me from what I am in, I will go to Muhammadsaww until I place my hand in hissaww hand and I shall find himsaww as an honourable forgiver’. He came and became a Muslim’.

و قال‏ في قوله تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ‏ نزلت في أبي سفيان بن حرب و عكرمة بن أبي جهل و أبي الأعور السلمي قدموا المدينة و نزلوا على عبد الله بن أبي بعد غزوة أحد بأمان من رسول الله ص ليكلموه فقاموا و قام معهم عبد الله بن أبي و عبد الله بن سعد بن أبي سرح و طعمة بن أبيرق فدخلوا على رسول الله ص

And he said regarding the Words of the Exalted: O you Prophet! Fear Allah [33:1] – it was Revealed regarding Abu Sufyan Bin Harb and Ikrimah Bin Abu Jahl and Abu Al-Awr Al-Salmy. They arrived at Al-Medina and they descended with Abdullah Bin Abay after the battle of Ohad with an amnesty from Rasool-Allahsaww in order to speak to himsaww. They arose and with them stood up Abdullah Bin Abay and Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh and Ta’ama Bin Ibreeq and they entered to see Rasool-Allahsaww.

فقالوا يا محمد ارفض ذكر آلهتنا اللات و العزى و مناة و قل إن لها شفاعة لمن عبدها و ندعك و ربك فشق ذلك على النبي ص فقال عمر بن الخطاب ائذن لنا يا رسول الله في قتلهم فقال إني أعطيتهم الأمان و أمر ص فأخرجوا من المدينة و نزلت الآية.

They said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! Finish mentioning our gods, Al Laat and Al Uzza and Manat, and say that there is intercession for them for the one who worships them and we will leave yousaww and yoursaww Godazwj along’. That was grievous upon the Prophetsaww. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said, ‘Permit for us, O Rasool-Allahsaww regarding killing them’. Hesaww said: ‘Isaww have granted them amnesty’, and hesaww ordered and they were expelled from Al-Medina, and the Verse was Revealed.

وَ قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ رَوَى أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ نَاساً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ كَانَ سَلْمَانُ إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَضَرَبَ يَدَهُ عَلَى فَخِذِ سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ هَذَا وَ قَوْمُهُ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ كَانَ الْإِيمَانُ مَنُوطاً بِالثُّرَيَّا لَتَنَاوَلَهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ فَارِسَ.

And Al-Tabarsi said, (Regarding: He would Replace you with another people, [47:38]’ ‘And it is reported by Abu Hureyra (famous Ahadith fabricator) that some people form the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who are they, those whom Allahazwj Mentioned in Hisazwj book?’ And Salmanra was to the side of Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww struck hissaww hand upon a thigh of Salmanra and said: ‘This one and hisra people. By the Oneazwj in Who Hand is mysaww soul! If the Eman was entrusted to the sun, a man from Persian would have attained it’’.

وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنْ تَتَوَلَّوْا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْعَرَبِ‏ يَسْتَبْدِلْ قَوْماً غَيْرَكُمْ‏ يَعْنِي الْمَوَالِيَ.

And it is reported by Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘And if you were to turn back, O community of Arabs, He would Replace you with another people, [47:38], meaning the loyalists (mawaali (Shias))’.

وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قَدْ وَ اللَّهِ أَبْدَلَ بِهِمْ خَيْراً مِنْهُمُ الْمَوَالِي.

And from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘By Allahazwj Heazwj has Replaced them with better than them, the loyalists (Mawaali (Shias))’. (مجمع البيان 9: 108)

قوله تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جاءَكُمْ فاسِقٌ‏ قال الطبرسي برّد الله مضجعه نزل في الوليد بن عقبة بن أبي معيط بعثه رسول الله ص في صدقات بني المصطلق فخرجوا يتلقونه فرحا به و كانت بينهم عداوة في الجاهلية فظن أنهم هموا بقتله فرجع إلى رسول الله ص و قال إنهم منعوا صدقاتهم و كان الأمر بخلافه فغضب النبي ص و هم أن يغزوهم فنزلت الآية- عن ابن عباس و مجاهد و قتادة.

The Words of the Exalted: O you who believe! If a transgressor comes to you [49:6] – Al-Tabarsi said, ‘It was Revealed regarding Al-Waleed Bin Uqba Bin Abu Mueet. Rasool-Allahsaww sent him regarding charities of the clan of Al-Mustalaq. They came out to meet him, rejoicing with him, and there used to be enmity between them during the pre-Islamic period. He thought that they were thinking of killing him, so he returned to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘They refused their charities’, and the matter was opposite to it. The Prophetsaww was angered and thought of battling them. So the Verse was Revealed. – From Ibn Abbas and Mujahid and Qatada (non-Shia sources).

و قيل إنها نزلت فيمن قال للنبي ص إن مارية أم إبراهيم يأتيها ابن عم لها قبطي فدعا رسول الله ص عليا ع و قال يا أخي خذ هذا السيف فإن وجدته عندها فاقتله

And it is said that it was Revealed regarding the ones who said to the Prophetsaww, ‘Mariah, mother of Ibrahimas, her Coptic cousin comes to her’. Rasool-Allahsaww called Aliasws and said: ‘O Aliasws! Take this sword, so if youasws find him in her presence, kill him’.

فقال يا رسول الله أكون في أمرك إذا أرسلتني كالسكة المحماة أمضي لما أمرتني أم الشاهد يرى ما لا يرى الغائب فقال ص بل الشاهد يرى ما لا يرى الغائب

Heasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Iasws tend to become regarding yoursaww order like the heated blade. Iasws will accomplish to what yousaww are ordering measws, or the one present may see what the absent has not’. Hesaww said: ‘But the one present does see what the absentee does not’.

قال علي ع فأقبلت موشحا بالسيف فوجدته عندها فاخترطت السيف فلما عرف أني أريده أتى نخلة فرقي إليها ثم رمى بنفسه على قفاه و شغر برجليه فإذا أنه أجب أمسح ما له مما للرجال قليل و لا كثير فرجعت و أخبرت النبي ص فقال الحمد لله الذي يصرف عنا السوء أهل البيت..

Heasws said: ‘Iasws went having bared the sword and found him in her presence. Iasws knocked the sword and he recognised that Iasws intended him. He went to a palm tree and climbed it then threw himself upon his back and he was uncovered from his legs, and he was clear, there wasn’t for him what tends to be for the men, neither little nor more. So Iasws returned and informed the Prophetsaww. Hesaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Turned the evil away from us the Peopleasws of the Household’’. (مجمع البيان 9: 132)

و قوله‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْناكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَ أُنْثى‏ قيل نزل في ثابت بن قيس بن شماس و قوله للرجل الذي لم يتفسح له ابن فلانة فقال ص من الذاكر فلانة فقام ثابت فقال أنا يا رسول الله فقال انظر في وجوه القوم فنظر إليهم فقال ما رأيت يا ثابت فقال رأيت أسود و أبيض و أحمر قال فإنك لا تفضلهم إلا بالتقوى و الدين فنزلت هذه الآية.

And Hisazwj Words: O you people! We Created you from a male and a female [49:13]. It is said it was Revealed regarding Sabit Bin Shamas and his words to the man who did not prefer for him over the son of so and so (Woman). Hesaww said: ‘Who is the male for so and so (Woman)?’ Sabit stood up and said, ‘I am, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Look into the face of the people’. He looked at them. Hesaww said: ‘What do you see, O Sabit?’ He said, ‘I see black, and white, and red’. Hesaww said: ‘So you do not have more meritorious than them except by the piety and the Religion’. So this Verse was Revealed’’.

ثم قال قال سعيد بن جبير بعث رسول الله ص جعفرا في سبعين راكبا إلى النجاشي يدعوه فقدم عليه فدعاه فاستجاب له و آمن به فلما كان عند انصرافه قال ناس ممن آمن به من أهل مملكته و هم أربعون رجلا ائذن لنا فنأتي هذا النبي فنسلم به

Then Saeed Bin Jubeyr said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww sent Ja’farasws among seventy rider to Al-Najashy inviting him (to Islam). Heasws arrived to him and he answered to himasws and believed in himsaww. When he was about to leave, some people from the ones who had believed with him from the people of his government, and they were forty men, said, ‘Permit for us so we can go to this Prophetsaww and we submit to himsaww’.

فقدموا مع جعفر فلما رأوا ما بالمسلمين من الخصاصة استأذنوا رسول الله ص و قالوا يا نبي الله إن لنا أموالا و نحن نرى ما بالمسلمين من الخصاصة فإن أذنت لنا انصرفنا فجئنا بأموالنا فواسينا المسلمين بها فأذن لهم فانصرفوا فأتوا بأموالهم فواسوا بها المسلمين.

They arrived with Ja’farasws. When they saw what was with the Muslims from the abject poverty, they sought permission of Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Prophetsaww! There is wealth for us and we see what is poverty there is with the Muslims, so if yousaww permit for us, we shall leave and come back with our wealth, then we can equalise with the Muslims with it’. Hesaww permitted for them and they left, and they came with their wealth and equalised with it with the Muslims.

قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ‏ أَقْبَلَتْ عِيرٌ وَ نَحْنُ نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْجُمُعَةَ فَانْفَضَّ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا فَمَا بَقِيَ غَيْرُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا أَنَا فِيهِمْ فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ

Jabir Bin Abdullah said, ‘A caravan came and we were praying the Friday Salat with Rasool-Allahsaww. The people departed to it and there did not remain anyone apart from twelve men, I being among them. So, the Verse (And when they see trade, or sport, they break (the Salat) to (go) to it, and they leave you standing [62:11]) was Revealed’.

وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَ أَبُو مَالِكٍ أَصَابَ أَهْلَ الْمَدِينَةِ جُوعٌ وَ غَلَاءُ سِعْرٍ فَقَدِمَ دِحْيَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ بِتِجَارَةِ زَيْتٍ مِنَ الشَّامِ وَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَوْهُ قَامُوا إِلَيْهِ بِالْبَقِيعِ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يُسْبَقُوا إِلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص إِلَّا رَهْطٌ

And Al-Hassan and Abu Malik said, ‘The people of Al-Medina were afflicted with hunger and high prices (inflation). Dahiyat Bin Khalifa came with trade (merchandise) of oil from Syria, and the Prophetsaww was addressing on the day of Friday. When they saw him, they stood up to him with the fear that others might precede them to him. So, there did not remain with the Prophetsaww except a (small) group.

فَنَزَلَتْ فَقَالَ ص وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ تَتَابَعْتُمْ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ لَسَالَ بِكُمُ الْوَادِي نَاراً

Hesaww descended and said: ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul! If you had (also) followed until there did not remain anyone from you, the valley would have flooded with fire with you’.

وَ قَالَ الْمُقَاتِلَانِ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذْ قَدِمَ دِحْيَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ بْنِ فَرْوَةَ الْكَلْبِيُّ ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِي الْخَزْرَجِ ثُمَّ أَحَدُ بَنِي زَيْدِ بْنِ مَنَاةَ مِنَ الشَّامِ بِتِجَارَةٍ وَ كَانَ إِذَا قَدِمَ لَمْ يَبْقَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَاتِقٌ‏ إِلَّا أَتَتْهُ وَ كَانَ يَقْدَمُ إِذَا قَدِمَ بِكُلِّ مَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ أَوْ بُرٍّ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ

And the two fighters said, ‘While Rasool-Allahsaww was addressing on the day of Friday when Dahiyat Bin Khaleefa Bin Farwa Al-Kalby arrived, then one of the clan of Al-Khazraj, then one of the clan of Zayd Bin Manat, (arrived) from Syria with trade. And it was so that whenever he arrived there would not remain any young girl except she would come to him, and whenever he arrived, would be will all what one would be needy to, from flour, or wheat, or something else.

فَيَنْزِلُ عِنْدَ أَحْجَارِ الزَّيْتِ وَ هُوَ مَكَانٌ فِي سُوقِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ يَضْرِبُ بِالطَّبْلِ لِيُؤَذِّنَ النَّاسَ بِقُدُومِهِ فَيَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ لِيَتَبَايَعُوا مَعَهُ

So he would descend by the olive rocks, and it is a place in the market of Al-Medina, then he would strike the drum in order to proclaim to the people with his arrival, and the people would come out to him in order to trade with him.

فَقَدِمَ ذَاتَ جُمُعَةٍ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُسْلِمَ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَائِمٌ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَخْطُبُ فَخَرَجَ النَّاسُ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِلَّا اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا وَ امْرَأَةً فَقَالَ ص لَوْ لَا هَؤُلَاءِ لَسُوِّمَتْ لَهُمُ الْحِجَارَةُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ.

So, he arrived on Friday, and that was before he had become a Muslim, and Rasool-Allahsaww was standing upon the pulpit addressing. The people went out and there did not remain in the Masjid except twelve men and one woman. Hesaww said: ‘Had it not been for them, the stones would have rained down to them from the sky’, and Allahazwj Revealed this Verse.

قَالَ الطَّبْرِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ رَوَى الْوَاحِدِيُّ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَّصِلِ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ‏ أَنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَتْ لَهُ نَخْلَةٌ فَرْعُهَا فِي دَارِ رَجُلٍ فَقِيرٍ ذِي عِيَالٍ وَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا جَاءَ فَدَخَلَ الدَّارَ وَ صَعِدَ النَّخْلَةَ لِيَأْخُذَ مِنْهَا التَّمْرَ فَرُبَّمَا سَقَطَتِ التَّمْرَةُ فَيَأْخُذُهَا صِبْيَانُ الْفَقِيرِ فَيَنْزِلُ الرَّجُلُ مِنَ النَّخْلَةِ حَتَّى يَأْخُذَ التَّمْرَ مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ فَإِنْ وَجَدَهَا فِي فِي أَحَدِهِمْ أَدْخَلَ إِصْبَعَهُ حَتَّى يُخْرِجَ التَّمْرَ مِنْ فِيهِ

Al-Tabarsi said, ‘It is reported by Al-Wahidy (Non Shia source), with the connected chain from Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl), from Ibn Abbas, - ‘A man had a palm tree for him and a branch of it was in a house of a poor man with dependants, and when the man (owner) came to enter the house he would climb the palm tree in order to take the dates from it, and sometimes the dates would fall and the children of the poor man would take them, so the man would descend from the palm tree until he would seize the dates from their hand, and if he found in the mouth of one of them, he would enter his finger in his mount until he extracted the date from his mouth.

فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا يَلْقَى مِنْ صَاحِبِ النَّخْلَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص اذْهَبْ وَ لَقِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَاحِبَ النَّخْلَةِ فَقَالَ تعطني [تُعْطِينِي‏] نَخْلَتَكَ الْمَائِلَةَ الَّتِي فَرْعُهَا فِي دَارِ فُلَانٍ وَ لَكَ بِهَا نَخْلَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّ لِي نَخْلًا كَثِيراً وَ مَا فِيهِ نَخْلَةٌ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيَّ ثَمَرَةً مِنْهَا

So that (poor) man complained to the Prophetsaww and informed him with what he was facing from the owner of the palm tree. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Go’, and hesaww met the owner of the palm tree and said: ‘You give me your inclining palm tree the branch of which is in the house of so and so, and for you would be a palm tree in the Paradise’. The man said to himsaww, ‘There are many palm trees for me and there is no palm tree among them more fascinating to me of fruits than it’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تُعْطِينِي بِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ نَخْلَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِنْ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ وَ لَقِيَ صَاحِبَ النَّخْلَةِ فَسَاوَمَهَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ شَعَرْتَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً أَعْطَانِي بِهَا نَخْلَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يُعْجِبُنِي تَمْرُهَا وَ إِنَّ لِي نَخْلًا كَثِيراً فَمَا فِيهِ نَخْلَةٌ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيَّ تَمْرَةً مِنْهَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then the man went, so the (poor) man who was listening to the speech from Rasool-Allahsaww, said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Can yousaww give what yousaww were giving to the man, a palm tree in the Paradise if I were to take it?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’. So the (poor) man went and me the owner of the palm tree and he bargained it from him. He said to him, ‘Are you aware that Muhammadsaww was giving me a palm tree in the Paradise for it, but I said to himsaww, ‘Its fruits fascinate me and that there are many palm trees for me, and there is no palm tree more fascinating of fruits to me than it’?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ الْآخَرُ أَ تُرِيدُ بَيْعَهَا فَقَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ أُعْطَى بِهَا مَا لَا أَظُنُّهُ أُعْطَى قَالَ فَمَا مُنَاكَ قَالَ أَرْبَعُونَ نَخْلَةً فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ جِئْتَ بِعَظِيمٍ تَطْلُبُ بِنَخْلَتِكَ الْمَائِلَةِ أَرْبَعِينَ نَخْلَةً ثُمَّ سَكَتَ عَنْهُ

Another one said to him, ‘Do you want to sell it?’ he said, ‘No, except if you were to give with it what I don’t think can be given’. He said, ‘So what is your desired price?’ He said, ‘Forty palm trees’. The man said, ‘You have come with a great demand for your inclining palm tree, forty palm trees!’ Then he was silent from him.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَنَا أُعْطِيكَ أَرْبَعِينَ نَخْلَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَشْهِدْ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقاً فَمَرَّ إِلَى نَاسٍ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَأَشْهَدَ لَهُ بِأَرْبَعِينَ نَخْلَةً ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّخْلَةَ قَدْ صَارَتْ فِي مِلْكِي فَهِيَ لَكَ فَذَهَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى صَاحِبِ الدَّارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّخْلَةُ لَكَ وَ لِعِيَالِكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ اللَّيْلِ إِذا يَغْشى‏ السُّورَةِ.

He (other man) said to him, ‘I shall give you forty palm trees’. He said to him, ‘If you are truthful, then testify for it’. So he went to the people and called them and testify to him with forty palm trees, then went to the Prophetsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The palm tree has come to be in my possession, so it is (now) for yousaww’. Rasool-Allahsaww went to the owner of the house (of the poor man) and said to him: ‘The palm tree is for you and for your dependants’. So, Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed: (I Swear) by the night when it overcomes [92:1] – the Chapter’.

He said, ‘We recognise the Prophetsaww of Allahazwj by the attributes which Allahazwj Attributed himsaww when we see him among you, just as one of us recognises his own son between the boys, and I swear by Allahazwj! I am or more recognition with Muhammadsaww than my recognition with my own son because I recognise himsaww with what Allahazwj Attributed himsaww in our Books, and as for my own son, I don’t know what his mother has come up with’’.¹

Tafseer Al Qummi - And if they had observed the Torah and the Evangel and what was Revealed to them from their Lord, - meaning the Jews and the Christians, they would have eaten from their above and from beneath their legs. [5:66]. He said, ‘From above them being the rain, and from beneath their legs being the vegetation’’.⁸ (An opinion)

9- فس، تفسير القمي‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ‏ فَإِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ فِي ابْنِ بِنْدِيٍّ وَ ابْنِ أَبِي مَارِيَةَ نَصْرَانِيَّيْنِ وَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ تَمِيمٌ الدَّارِيُّ مُسْلِم خَرَجَ مَعَهُمَا فِي سَفَرٍ وَ كَانَ مَعَ تَمِيمٍ خُرْجٌ وَ مَتَاعٌ وَ آنِيَةٌ مَنْقُوشَةٌ بِالذَّهَبِ وَ قِلَادَةٌ أَخْرَجَهَا إِلَى بَعْضِ أَسْوَاقِ الْعَرَبِ لِيَبِيعَهَا فَلَمَّا مَرُّوا بِالْمَدِينَةِ اعْتَلَّ تَمِيمٌ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ دَفَعَ مَا كَانَ مَعَهُ إِلَى ابْنِ بِنْدِيٍّ وَ ابْنِ أَبِي مَارِيَةَ وَ أَمَرَهُمَا أَنْ يُوصِلَاهُ إِلَى وَرَثَتِهِ

Tafseer Al Qummi - O you who believe! Keep witness between you [5:106]. It was Revealed regarding Ibn Bindy and Ibn Abu Mariya, two Christians, and there was a man called Tameem Al Dary, a Muslim who went out with them in a journey, and there was with Tameem Al-Dary some baggage in which were utensils engraved with gold and a necklace which he had brought out to one of the Arabs markets to be sold. Tameem Al-Dary was overcome with severe illness. So when the death presented itself, he handed over whatever was with him, to Ibn Baydi and Ibn Abu Mariya, and instructed them both that they should deliver it to his inheritors.

فَقَدِمَا الْمَدِينَةَ فَأَوْصَلَا مَا كَانَ دَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِمَا تَمِيمٌ وَ حَبَسَا الْآنِيَةَ الْمَنْقُوشَةَ وَ الْقِلَادَةَ فَقَالَ وَرَثَةُ الْمَيِّتِ هَلْ مَرِضَ صَاحِبُنَا مَرَضاً طَوِيلًا أَنْفَقَ فِيهِ نَفَقَةً كَثِيرَةً فَقَالُوا مَا مَرِضَ إِلَّا أَيَّاماً قَلِيلَةً قَالُوا فَهَلْ سُرِقَ مِنْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي سَفَرِهِ هَذَا قَالُوا لَا قَالُوا فَهَلِ اتَّجَرَ تِجَارَةً خَسِرَ فِيهَا قَالُوا لَا قَالُوا فَقَدِ افْتَقَدْنَا أَنْبَلَ شَيْ‏ءٍ كَانَ مَعَهُ آنِيَةً مَنْقُوشَةً بِالذَّهَبِ مُكَلَّلَةً وَ قِلَادَةً فَقَالُوا مَا دَفَعَهُ إِلَيْنَا قَدْ أَدَّيْنَاهُ إِلَيْكُمْ

They both proceeded to Al-Medina, and they had taken from the baggage, the utensils and the necklace, and delivered the rest of that to his inheritors. The people missed the utensils and the necklace, so the family of the Tameem said to them both, ‘Was our companion ill for a long time for which he spent a lot of expenses?’ They both said, ‘No, he was not sick except for a few days’. They said, ‘Was anything stolen from it during this journey of his’. They both said, ‘No’. They said, ‘Did he trade and incurred a loss in his trading?’ They both said, ‘No’. They said, ‘We are missing the best things which were with him, utensils engraved with gold and jewellery and a necklace’. They both said, ‘Whatever he handed over to us, so we have given it to you’.

فَقَدَّمُوهُمَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَوْجَبَ عَلَيْهِمَا الْيَمِينَ فَحَلَفَا وَ أَطْلَقَهُمَا ثُمَّ ظَهَرَتِ الْقِلَادَةُ وَ الْآنِيَةُ عَلَيْهِمَا فَأَخْبَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِذَلِكَ فَانْتَظَرَ الْحُكْمَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَأَنْزَلَ الْآيَةَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ أَوْ آخَرانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ‏ يَعْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ فَأَطْلَقَ اللَّهُ شَهَادَةَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ عَلَى الْوَصِيَّةِ فَقَطْ إِذَا كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ وَ لَمْ يَجِدِ الْمُسْلِمَ‏

They brought them to Rasool-Allahsaww and hesaww Obligated the oath upon them both and freed them. Then the necklace and the utensils appeared upon them, and they informed Rasool-Allahsaww with that. Hesaww awaited the Command from Allahazwj, and the Verse was Revealed up to Hisazwj Words: or two other from others (non-Muslims). [5:106] – meaning from the People of the Book. So, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Allowed the testimony of the People of the Book upon the bequest only, when one was to be on a journey and does not find Muslims.

مِنْ بَعْدِ الصَّلاةِ يَعْنِي بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَيُقْسِمانِ بِاللَّهِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ إِنَّا إِذاً لَمِنَ الْآثِمِينَ‏ فَهَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةُ الْأُولَى الَّتِي حَلَّفَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

after the Salat – meaning after Salat Al Asr, they should both swear by Allah – up to Hisazwj Words: surely then we would be from the sinners’ [5:106]. So, these are the first testimonies which Rasool-Allahsaww (got people to) swear on oath’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ فَإِنْ عُثِرَ عَلى‏ أَنَّهُمَا اسْتَحَقَّا إِثْماً أَيْ حَلْفاً عَلَى كَذِبٍ‏ فَآخَرانِ يَقُومانِ مَقامَهُما يَعْنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ الْمُدَّعِي‏ فَيُقْسِمانِ بِاللَّهِ‏ أَيْ يَحْلِفَانِ بِاللَّهِ‏ لَشَهادَتُنا أَحَقُّ مِنْ شَهادَتِهِما وَ أَنَّهُمَا قَدْ كَذَبَا فِيمَا حَلَفَا بِاللَّهِ

Then the Mighty and Majestic Said: Then if it was stumbled upon that they both earned a sin [5:107], i.e., they have testified falsely, two others should be standing in their places, - meaning from the guardians of the claimant, So they should swear by Allah, - i.e. they should both swear by Allahazwj, ‘Our testimony is more rightful than their testimonies [5:107], and that they have lied regarding what they have sworn by Allahazwj.

فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَوْلِيَاءَ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ أَنْ يَحْلِفُوا بِاللَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَمَرَهُمْ بِهِ فَأَخَذَ الْآنِيَةَ وَ الْقِلَادَةَ مِنِ ابْنِ بِنْدِيٍّ وَ ابْنِ أَبِي مَارِيَةَ وَ رَدَّهُمَا عَلَى أَوْلِيَاءِ تَمِيمٍ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww ordered the guardians of Tameem Al-Dary that they should swear by Allahazwj upon what Heazwj had Commanded with. So they swore, and Rasool-Allahsaww seized the utensils and the necklace from Ibn Baydi and Ibn Abu Mariya, and returned both of these to the guardians of Tameem’’.⁹ (An opinion)

Tafseer Al Qummi - And do not expel those who are supplicating to their Lord [6:52] – the Verse. ‘The reason for its Revelation was that there was a group of people at Al-Medina of poor Momineen referred to as ‘The people of the platform’,¹⁰ and Rasool-Allahsaww had ordered them that they should happen to be in the platform taking shelter to it, and Rasool-Allahsaww used to frequently be with them himselfsaww, and sometimes hesaww would carry over to them what they could eat, and they used to be differing to Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww would draw them near and be seated with them, and be cordial to them.

وَ كَانَ إِذَا جَاءَ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ وَ الْمُتْرَفُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ يُنْكِرُونَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ‏ وَ يَقُولُونَ‏ لَهُ اطْرُدْهُمْ عَنْكَ

And it so happened that when the rich ones and the affluent from hissaww companions came, they used to criticise that upon himsaww, and they were saying to himsaww, ‘Expel them from yousaww!’

فَجَاءَ يَوْماً رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الصُّفَّةِ قَدْ لَزِقَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُحَدِّثُهُ فَقَعَدَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بِالْبُعْدِ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَقَدَّمْ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَعَلَّكَ خِفْتَ أَنْ يَلْزَقَ فَقْرُهُ بِكَ

So, one day a man from the Helpers came to Rasool-Allahsaww and in hissaww presence was a man from the companions of the platform, and he had adhered to Rasool-Allahsaww, and Rasool-Allahsaww was narrating to him, and the Helper sat remotely from him. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Come forward!’ But, he did not do so. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Perhaps you fear that his poverty would get affixed with you!?’

فَقَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ اطْرُدْ هَؤُلَاءِ عَنْكَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ لا تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَداةِ وَ الْعَشِيِ‏ الْآيَةَ

The Helper said, ‘Expel them from yousaww’. So, Allahazwj Revealed: And do not expel those who are supplicating to their Lord in the morning and the evening [6:52] – the Verse.

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ وَ كَذلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ‏ أَيِ اخْتَبَرْنَا الْأَغْنِيَاءَ بِالْغِنَى لِنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ مُوَاسَاتُهُمْ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَ كَيْفَ يُخْرِجُونَ مَا فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي أَمْوَالِهِمْ لَهُمْ وَ اخْتَبَرْنَا الْفُقَرَاءَ لِنَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ صَبْرُهُمْ عَلَى الْفَقْرِ وَ عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي الْأَغْنِيَاءِ لِيَقُولُوا أَيِ الْفُقَرَاءُ أَ هؤُلاءِ الْأَغْنِيَاءُ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ الْآيَةَ

Then Heazwj Said: And like that We Try some of them with other, [6:53] – i.e. Weazwj Test the rich ones with the riches in order to Look how is their consoling to the poor ones, and how they are extracting what Allahazwj had Obligated upon them regarding their wealth for them, and We Test the poor ones in order to Look how is their patience upon the poverty, and about what is in the hands of the rich, so they are saying, - i.e. the poor ones, ‘Are they - the rich, the ones Allah has Conferred upon?’ [6:53] – the Verse.

ثُمَّ فَرَضَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى التَّوَّابِينَ الَّذِينَ عَمِلُوا السَّيِّئَاتِ‏ ثُمَّ تَابُوا فَقَالَ‏ وَ إِذا جاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآياتِنا فَقُلْ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ يَعْنِي أَوْجَبَ الرَّحْمَةَ لِمَنْ تَابَ وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ‏ أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ سُوءاً بِجَهالَةٍ ثُمَّ تابَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ أَصْلَحَ فَأَنَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏.

Then Heazwj Obligated upon Rasool-Allahsaww that hesaww should greet unto the repentants, those who had done evil deeds, then they repented, so Heazwj Said: And when they come to you, those who are believing in Our Signs, then say: ‘Peace be upon you’. Your Lord has Prescribed the Mercy upon Himself. – meaning the Beneficent has Obligated for the ones who repent, and the evidence upon that are Hisazwj Words: It is so that the one from you who does evil out of ignorance, then repents from after it and amends, then He is Forgiving, Merciful [6:54]’’.¹¹ (An opinion)

Tafseer Al Qummi - O you who believe! Do not betray Allah [8:27] – the Verse. It was Revealed regarding Abu Lubaba Bin Abdul Munzar, so the Words of the Verse are general and their meaning is special, and it was Revealed during the military expedition of the clan of Qureyza during year five from the Emigration, and it has been Written in this Chapter along with the news of Badr, and Badr was at the beginning of the year, ten month from the arrival of Rasool-Allahsaww at Al Medina.

وَ نَزَلَتْ مَعَ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ التَّوْبَةِ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ آخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً الْآيَةَ نَزَلَتْ فِي أَبِي لُبَابَةَ فَهَذَا الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى أَنَّ التَّأْلِيفَ عَلَى خِلَافِ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ ص.

And it was Revealed along with the Verse that which is in Surah Al Tawbah, Hisazwj Words: And others are acknowledging their sins, mingling one righteous deed and another evil one. [9:102] – the Verse was Revealed regarding Abu Lubaba. So evidences upon that the compiler (of the Quran) is upon a differing from what Allahazwj Revealed upon Hisazwj Prophetsaww’. (An opinion)

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: خِيَانَةُ اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ مَعْصِيَتُهُمَا وَ أَمَّا خِيَانَةُ الْأَمَانَةِ فَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ مَأْمُونٌ عَلَى مَا افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏.

And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud, from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Betraying Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww is disobeying them, and as for the betrayal of the entrustment, every human being is a trustee upon what Allahazwj had Obligated upon him’’.¹²

Tafseer Al Qummi - But rather, the postponement (of the Sacred months) increases in the Kufr, [9:37]. The reasons for its Revelation was that a man from the (clan of) Kanana had paused during the season (of Hajj), and he was saying, ‘I have legalised the (shedding of) blood in the neighbourhood of Tayy and Khas’am during the Sacred months and have postponed it, and have sanctified (the month of) Safar instead. So when it was the next year he said, ‘I have legalised Safar and postposed it, and have sanctified instead of it the month of Al Muharram. So, the Verse was Revealed’’.¹³ (An opinion)

Tafseer Al Qummi - And among them are ones who criticise you regarding the charities; [9:58]. It was Revealed when the charities came and the rich (people) came and they thought that Rasool-Allahsaww would distribute these between them. When Rasool-Allahsaww placed it among the poor, they thronged around Rasool-Allahsaww and criticised himsaww and they said, ‘We are those who were standing during the war, and we battled alongside yousaww, and we strengthened Hisazwj matter, then yousaww are handing over the charities to them, those who neither assisted Himazwj, nor availed anything?’ So, Allahazwj Revealed: And if only they had been pleased – up to Hisazwj Words: surely to Allah do we are hoping’ [9:59].¹⁴ (An opinion)

Tafseer Al Qummi – Hisazwj Words: even if they are their relatives, [9:113], i.e. and even if they were their near relatives. Hisazwj Words: it increases uncleanness to their uncleanness, [9:125], i.e. doubts to their doubts. Hisazwj Words: they are being Tried [9:126], i.e. becoming sick. Hisazwj Words: Then they disperse.

Tafseer Al Qummi - Indeed! They are folding up their chests to conceal from Him; Indeed, (it is) when they are gathering their clothes. [11:5] – it was so that whenever hesaww said something new from the merits of Aliasws or recited to them what Allahazwj had Revealed regarding himasws, they would gather their clothes then they would stand up (to go away), He Knows what they are keeping as secret and what they are making public., when they arose, He is a Knower with the contents of the chests [11:5]’’.¹⁶ (An opinion)

Tafseer Al Qummi - And those who accuse their wives [24:6] – the reason for that was that Rasool-Allahsaww, when hesaww returned from the military expedition of Tabuk, Uweymir Bin Saida All Ajaly came to himsaww, and he was from the Helpers and he said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww! My wife, Shaeek Bin Samha committed adultery with her and she is pregnant from him’.

فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلَ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْزِلَهُ فَنَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ آيَةُ اللِّعَانِ وَ خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ صَلَّى‏ بِالنَّاسِ الْعَصْرَ وَ قَالَ لِعُوَيْمِرٍ ايتِنِي بِأَهْلِكَ فَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكُمَا قُرْآناً

Rasool-Allahsaww turned away from him. So, he repeated the words to himsaww, and hesaww turned away from him, until he had done that four times. Rasool-Allahsaww entered hissaww house and the Verse of the mutual cursing was Revealed unto himsaww, and Rasool-Allahsaww came out and prayed Salat Al Asr with the people and said to Uweymir: ‘Come to mesaww with your wife, for Allahazwj has Revealed Quran (Verses) regarding both of you’.

فَجَاءَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَدْعُوكِ‏ وَ كَانَتْ فِي شَرَفٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهَا فَجَاءَ مَعَهَا جَمَاعَةٌ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتِ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعُوَيْمِرٍ تَقَدَّمْ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَ الْتَعِنَا فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ فَقَالَ تَقَدَّمْ وَ قُلْ أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ إِنِّي‏ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ‏ فِيمَا رَمَيْتُهَا بِهِ

He came to her and said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is calling you’, and she was with nobility from her people, so a group came with her. When she entered the Masjid, Rasool-Allahsaww said to Uweymir: ‘Proceed towards the pulpit and curse her’. He said, ‘How shall I do that?’ Hesaww said: ‘Proceed and say, ‘I testify with Allahazwj I am from the truthful ones regarding what I had accused her with’.

فَتَقَدَّمَ‏ وَ قَالَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَعِدْهَا فَأَعَادَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَعِدْهَا حَتَّى فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قَالَ‏ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ عَلَيْكَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ فِيمَا رَمَيْتَهَا بِهِ فَقَالَ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ إِنَّ عَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةَ اللَّهِ‏ إِنْ كانَ مِنَ الْكاذِبِينَ‏ فِيمَا رَمَاهَا بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّعْنَةُ مُوجِبَةٌ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِباً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ تَنَحَّ فَتَنَحَّى

He went ahead and said it. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Repeat it’. So he repeated it. Then hesaww said: ‘Repeat it’ – until he had done that four times, and hesaww said during the fifth: ‘Upon you be the Curse of Allahazwj if you were from the liars regarding what you have accused her with’. Hesaww said: ‘Upon him be the Curse of Allahazwj if he was from the liars regarding what he has accused her with’. Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Curse would be obligated if you were a liar’. Then hesaww said to him: ‘Move aside!’ He moved aside.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِزَوْجَتِهِ تَشْهَدِينَ كَمَا شَهِدَ وَ إِلَّا أَقَمْتُ عَلَيْكِ حَدَّ اللَّهِ فَنَظَرَتْ فِي وُجُوهِ قَوْمِهَا فَقَالَتْ لَا أُسَوِّدُ هَذِهِ الْوُجُوهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْعَشِيَّةِ فَتَقَدَّمَتْ إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ وَ قَالَتْ أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ أَنَّ عُوَيْمِرَ بْنَ السَّاعِدَةِ مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ فِي مَا رَمَانِي بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَعِيدِيهَا فَأَعَادَتْهَا أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ‏

Then hesaww said to his wife: ‘Testify just as he has testified or else Isaww shall established the Punishment of Allahazwj upon you’. She looked at the faces of her people and she said, ‘I will not blacken this face this evening’. She went ahead towards the pulpit and said, ‘I testify with Allahazwj that Uweymir Bin Al Sa’ada is from the liars regarding what he has accused me with’. Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘Repeat it’. She repeated it four times.

فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْعَنِي نَفْسَكِ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ إِنْ كَانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ فِي مَا رَمَاكِ بِهِ‏ فَقَالَتْ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ أَنَّ غَضَبَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْها إِنْ كانَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ‏ فِي مَا رَمَانِي بِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَيْلَكِ إِنَّهَا مُوجِبَةٌ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘Curse yourself during the fight if he was from the truthful ones in what he has accursed you with’. She said during the fifth that the Wrath of Allahazwj be upon her if he was from the truthful ones during what he has accused me with’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Woe be unto you, it is (now) Obligated (if he was truthful)’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِزَوْجِهَا اذْهَبْ فَلَا تَحِلُّ لَكَ أَبَداً قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَالِيَ الَّذِي‏ أَعْطَيْتُهَا قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتَ كَاذِباً فَهُوَ أَبْعَدُ لَكَ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ‏ كُنْتَ صَادِقاً فَهُوَ لَهَا بِمَا اسْتَحْلَلْتَ مِنْ فَرْجِهَا

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said to her husband: ‘Go, for she is no longer Permissible for you, ever!’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! So what is for me which I gave her?’ Hesaww said: ‘If you were a liar, then it is your being distant from it, and if you were truthful, is would be for her due what you have permitted yourself from her private parts’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِالْوَلَدِ أَحْمَشَ السَّاقَيْنِ أَنْفَسَ الْعَيْنَيْنِ‏ جَعْداً قَطَطاً فَهُوَ لِلْأَمْرِ السَّيِّئِ وَ إِنْ جَاءَتْ بِهِ أَشْهَلَ أَصْهَبَ فَهُوَ لِأَبِيهِ فَيُقَالُ إِنَّهَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ السَّيِّئِ‏.

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘If she comes with the child being with thin legs, wide eyes, very frizzy hair, so he is for the evil matter (adultery), and if she comes with him being of red blonder hair, he is for his father’. It was said she came with being upon the evil matter’’.¹⁷

Tafseer Al Qummi - If the hypocrites do not desist, - up to the Words of the Exalted: except for a little while [33:60], it was Revealed regarding a group of hypocrites who were in Al Medina spreading rumours with Rasool-Allahsaww, when hesaww had gone out in one of hissaww military expeditions. They said, ‘Hesaww had been killed or captured’, So, the Muslims were gloomy due to that and they companion to Rasool-Allahsaww and Allahazwj Revealed regarding that: If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease – doubt, then they will not be in your vicinity except for a little while [33:60], i.e. Weazwj Command yousaww to expel them from Al Medina, except a few of them’’.

And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud, from Abu Ja’farasws having said: (They are) Accursed! – the Curse was Obligated upon them. Allahazwj is Saying after the Curse: Wherever they are found they shall be seized and killed with a massacre [33:61]’’.²⁰

It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Sabit, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Wuheyb Bin Hafs, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard himasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww used to call hissaww companions, so the one whom Allahazwj Wanted good with him, heard and recognised what he was being called to, and the one whom Allahazwj Wanted evil with him, Sealed upon his hear, so he would neither listen nor understand, and it is the Word of Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted: until when they exit from your presence, so they are saying to the one Given the Knowledge, ‘What is that he said just now?’ [47:16].

When he went out he said to the hypocrites, ‘What is that which Rasool-Allahsaww said just now?’ Heazwj Said: They are those Allah has Sealed upon their hearts, and they are pursuing their whims [47:16]’’.²¹

Tafseer Al-Qummi - Allah has Heard [58:1] – Verse. He said, ‘The reason of the Revelation of this Chapter is that the first one to do ‘Zihaar’ in Al-Islam was a man called Aws Bin Al-Samit from the Helpers, and he was an old man. He got angry upon his wife one day and said to her, ‘You are unto me like the back of my mother’. Then he regretted upon that.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ إِذَا قَالَ لِأَهْلِهِ أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ آخِرَ الْأَبَدِ فَقَالَ‏ أَوْسٌ لِأَهْلِهِ يَا خَوْلَةُ إِنَّا كُنَّا نُحَرِّمُ هَذَا فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ قَدْ أَتَانَا اللَّهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ فَاذْهَبِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَاسْأَلِيهِ عَنْ ذَلِكِ

He said, ‘And it was so that during the pre-Islamic period, whenever a man said to his wife, ‘You are unto me like the back of my mother’, she would be prohibited unto him up to the end, forever. So, Aws said to his wife, ‘O Khawla! We used to prohibit by this during the pre-Islamic period, and Allahazwj has Come to us with Al-Islam, so go to Rasool-Allahsaww and ask himsaww about that’.

فَأَتَتْ خَوْلَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَوْسَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ هُوَ زَوْجِي وَ أَبُو وُلْدِي وَ ابْنُ عَمِّي فَقَالَ لِي أَنْتِ عَلَيَّ كَظَهْرِ أُمِّي وَ كُنَّا نُحَرِّمُ ذَلِكَ فِي‏ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ قَدْ أَتَانَا اللَّهُ الْإِسْلَامَ بِكَ.

Khawla came to Rasool-Allahsaww and she said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Aws Bin Al-Samit, he is my husband and father of my children and a son of my uncle. He said to me, ‘You are unto me like the back of my mother’, and would be prohibited by that during the pre-Islamic period, and Allahazwj has Come to us with Islam through yousaww’.

It was narrated to us by Ali Bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Wallad, from Humran,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘A woman from the Muslims came to the Prophetsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! So and so, my husband, I gave him my belly for the seeding (giving birth), and assisted him upon his world and his Hereafter. He did not see anything abhorrent from me. I complain to you about him’.

Hesaww said: ‘Regarding what are you complaining about him?’ She said, ‘He said, ‘You are prohibited unto me like the back of my mother’, and he has expelled me from my house, therefore look into my matter’.

فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَلَيَّ كِتَاباً أَقْضِي فِيهِ بَيْنَكِ وَ بَيْنَ زَوْجِكِ وَ أَنَا أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ فَجَعَلَتْ تَبْكِي وَ تَشْتَكِي‏ مَا بِهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ انْصَرَفَتْ‏

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj has not yet Revealed a Book to mesaww to judge with between you and your husband, and Isaww dislike that Isaww become from the pretenders’. She went on weeping and complaining of what was with her, to Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and left.

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Heard her plea to Rasool-Allahsaww regarding her husband and what she had complained of to himsaww, and Allahazwj Revealed Quran (Verses) regarding that: Allah has Heard the words of she who pleaded you regarding her husband [58:1] – the Verse.

Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww sent for the woman and she came to him. Hesaww said to her: ‘Come to me with your husband’. She came with him. Hesaww said to him: ‘Did you say to this wife of yours, ‘You are prohibited unto me like the back of my mother?’ He said, ‘I have said that to her’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj has Revealed Quran (Verses) regarding you and your wife. Hug your wife to you for you have said the evil word and a falsity, [58:2], and Allahazwj had Pardoned you and has Forgiven you, and you should not repeat’.

قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ نَادِمٌ عَلَى مَا قَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ وَ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَعْدُ.

Say: ‘Whatever is in the Presence of Allah is better than the sport and the trade, for those who are pious, and Allah is the best of the sustainers [62:11]’’.²⁴

Tafseer Al-Qummi - And those who commit [68:51]. He said, ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww informed them with merits of Amir Al-Momineenasws, they were saying, ‘He is insane!’ [68:51]. So Allahazwj the Glorious Said: And he is not, - meaning Amir Al-Momineenasws, except (he is) a Zikr for the worlds [68:52]’’.²⁵

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Al Gazairy, from Al Sadouq, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Muhammad Al Barqy, from Ahmad bin Al Nazr, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘There was a boy from the Jews who used to come to the Prophetsaww a lot until he would lighten (matters) for himsaww, and sometimes hesaww would send him regarding a need, and sometimes he would write a letter for himsaww to a people.

فَافْتَقَدَهُ أَيَّاماً فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ تَرَكْتُهُ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْ أَيَّامِ الدُّنْيَا فَأَتَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي نَاسٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ ع بَرَكَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُ أَحَداً إِلَّا أَجَابَهُ فَقَالَ يَا فُلَانُ‏ فَفَتَحَ عَيْنَهُ وَ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ

Hesaww missed him for a few days, so hesaww asked about him. A speaker said to himsaww, ‘I left him being in the last day of the days of the word’. The Prophetsaww went to him among some people from hissaww companions; and there used to be Blessing for himsaww that hesaww would not speak to anyone except he would answer himsaww. Hesaww said:’ O so and so!’ He opened his eyes and said, ‘At yoursaww service, O Abu Al-Qasimsaww’’.

قَالَ قُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَنَظَرَ الْغُلَامُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُ شَيْئاً ثُمَّ نَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثَانِيَةً وَ قَالَ لَهُ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْتَفَتَ الْغُلَامُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَلَمْ يَقُلْ لَهُ شَيْئاً ثُمَّ نَادَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الثَّالِثَةَ فَالْتَفَتَ‏ الْغُلَامُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَقُلْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَلَا

Hesaww said: ‘Say that there is no god except Allahazwj and Isaww am a Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’. The boy looked towards his father, and he did not say anything to him. Then Rasool-Allahsaww called out to him for a second time and said to him similar to hissaww first words. The boy turned around to his father, and did not say anything to him. Then Rasool-Allahsaww called out for a third time. The boy turned to his father, and he said, ‘Say it if you so desire to, then don’t’.

فَقَالَ الْغُلَامُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ مَاتَ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَبِيهِ اخْرُجْ عَنَّا ثُمَّ قَالَ ع لِأَصْحَابِهِ اغْسِلُوهُ وَ كَفِّنُوهُ وَ أْتُونِي بِهِ أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ‏ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْجَى بِيَ الْيَوْمَ نَسَمَةً مِنَ النَّارِ.

The boy said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and yousaww are Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’, and he died in his place. Rasool-Allahsaww said to his father: ‘Go out from us’. Then hesaww said to hissaww companions: ‘Wash him, and enshroud him, and come with him to mesaww, Isaww shall pray Salat upon him’. Then hesaww went out and hesaww was saying: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Rescued a person today through mesaww from the Fire’’.²⁶

26- فس، تفسير القمي‏ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِما أَراكَ اللَّهُ وَ لا تَكُنْ لِلْخائِنِينَ خَصِيماً فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ سَبَبَ نُزُولِهَا أَنَّ قَوْماً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنْ بَنِي أُبَيْرِقٍ إِخْوَةً ثَلَاثَةً كَانُوا مُنَافِقِينَ بُشَيْرٌ وَ مُبَشِّرٌ وَ بِشْرٌ فَنَقَبُوا عَلَى عَمِّ قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَ كَانَ قَتَادَةُ بَدْرِيّاً وَ أَخْرَجُوا طَعَاماً كَانَ أَعَدَّهُ لِعِيَالِهِ وَ سَيْفاً وَ دِرْعاً

Tafseer Al Qummi - We Revealed the Book to you with the Truth for you to judge between the people with what Allah Showed you; and do not become an advocate for the treacherous [4:105]. The reason for its Revelation was that a group of the Helpers from the clan of Ubeyriq, three brothers, were hypocrites – Busheyr, and Mubasshir, and Bishr. They excavated (to steal) at an uncle of Qatadah Bin Al-Numan, and Qatadah was a (participant of battle of) Badr, and they brought out food which he had prepared it for his dependants, and a sword, and an armour.

فَشَكَا قَتَادَةُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قَوْماً نَقَبُوا عَلَى عَمِّي وَ أَخَذُوا طَعَاماً كَانَ أَعَدَّهُ لِعِيَالِهِ وَ دِرْعاً وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ سَوْءٍ وَ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ فِي الرَّأْيِ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ لَبِيدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ فَقَالَ بَنُو أُبَيْرِقٍ لِقَتَادَةَ هَذَا عَمَلُ لَبِيدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ لَبِيداً فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ وَ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي أُبَيْرِقٍ أَ تَرْمُونَنِي بِالسَّرَقِ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى بِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَنْتُمُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ تَهْجُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ تَنْسُبُونَهُ إِلَى قُرَيْشٍ لَتُبَيِّنُنَّ ذَلِكَ أَوْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ سَيْفِي مِنْكُمْ

Qatadah complained of that to Rasool-Allahsaww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! A group excavated (to steal) at my uncle and they seized food which he had prepared for his dependants, and an armour (and sword), and they are members of an evil family; and there was a Momin man called Labeed Bin Sahl with them regarding the opinion. The clan of Ubeyriq said to Qatadah, ‘This is the word of Labeed Bin Sahl’. That reached Labeed, so he grabbed his word and went out to them and said, ‘O clan of Ubeyriq! Are you accusing me with the theft and (although) you are foremost with it than I am, and you are hypocrites inciting Rasool-Allahsaww and attributing it to Quraysh to show that, or shall I fill my sword from you?’

فَدَارَوْهُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ ارْجِعْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ فَإِنَّكَ بَرِي‏ءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَمَشَى بَنُو أُبَيْرِقٍ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ رَهْطِهِمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ أُسَيْدُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ وَ كَانَ مِنْطِيقاً بَلِيغاً فَمَشَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ قَتَادَةَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ عَمَدَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ مِنَّا أَهْلِ شَرَفٍ وَ حَسَبٍ وَ نَسَبٍ فَرَمَاهُمْ بِالسَّرَقِ‏ وَ اتَّهَمَهُمْ بِمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ

They surrounded him and said to him, ‘Return, may Allahazwj have Mercy on you, for you are disavowed from that’. The clan of Ubeyriq walked to a man from their tribe called Useyd Bin Urwa, and he was an eloquent speaker. He walked to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Qatadah Bin Al-Numan deliberated to a family from us, being people of nobility and family-tree and lineage and accused them with the theft and slandered them with what isn’t regarding them’.

فَاغْتَمَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ قَتَادَةُ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمَدْتَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ شَرَفٍ وَ حَسَبٍ وَ نَسَبٍ فَرَمَيْتَهُمْ بِالسَّرِقَةِ فَعَاتَبَهُ عِتَاباً شَدِيداً فَاغْتَمَّ قَتَادَةُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ رَجَعَ إِلَى عَمِّهِ وَ قَالَ لَيْتَنِي مِتُّ وَ لَمْ أُكَلِّمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَدْ كَلَّمَنِي بِمَا كَرِهْتُهُ فَقَالَ عَمُّهُ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ

Rasool-Allahsaww was gloomy from that and Qatadah came to himsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww faced towards him and said to him: ‘You deliberated to a family of nobility and affiliation and lineages and accused them with the theft’, and blamed him with a severe blame. Qatadah was gloomy from that and returned to his uncle and said, ‘If only I had died and spoken to Rasool-Allahsaww, for hesaww spoken to me with what I dislike’. His uncle said, ‘Allahazwj is the Helper’.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ‏ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنا إِلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ بِما أَراكَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ لا تَكُنْ لِلْخائِنِينَ خَصِيماً وَ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً وَ لا تُجادِلْ عَنِ الَّذِينَ يَخْتانُونَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُحِبُّ مَنْ كانَ خَوَّاناً أَثِيماً يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لا يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ إِذْ يُبَيِّتُونَ ما لا يَرْضى‏ مِنَ الْقَوْلِ‏ يَعْنِي الْفِعْلَ فَوَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ مَقَامَ الْفِعْلِ

Allahazwj Revealed regarding that on Hisazwj Prophetsaww: We Revealed the Book to you with the Truth for you to judge between the people with what Allah Showed you; and do not become an advocate for the treacherous [4:105] And seek Forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah would always be Forgiving, Merciful [4:106] And do not plead on behalf of those who are deceiving themselves; surely Allah does not Love the one who was treacherous, sinful [4:107] They are concealing from the people, and they cannot conceal from Allah, and He is with them when they are spending the nights in what does not Please Him from the words; [4:108], meaning the deed, so the ‘words’ occurs in place of the deeds.

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ ها أَنْتُمْ هؤُلاءِ إِلَى‏ وَ مَنْ يَكْسِبْ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ إِثْماً ثُمَّ يَرْمِ بِهِ بَرِيئاً لَبِيدَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ.

Then Heazwj Said: Behold! O You, Those [4:109] – up to: And the one who earns a vice or a sin, then he accuses an innocent one with it [4:112] – Labeed Bin Sahl’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ أُنَاساً مِنْ رَهْطِ بُشَيْرٍ الْأَدْنَيْنَ قَالُوا انْطَلِقُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص نُكَلِّمْهُ‏ فِي صَاحِبِنَا وَ نُعْذِرْهُ فَإِنَّ صَاحِبَنَا بَرِي‏ءٌ فَلَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ لا يَسْتَخْفُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ مَعَهُمْ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَكِيلًا

And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Some people from the group of Busheir Al-Azneyn said, ‘Let us go to Rasool-Allahsaww to speak to himsaww regarding our companions and have him excused for our companion is innocent’. When Allahazwj Revealed: They are concealing from the people, and they cannot conceal from Allah, and He is with them [4:108] – up to Hisazwj Words: protector upon them? [4:109].

فَأَقْبَلَتْ رَهْطُ بُشَيْرٍ فَقَالُوا يَا بُشَيْرُ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ وَ تُبْ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ‏ فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي أَحْلِفُ بِهِ مَا سَرَقَهَا إِلَّا لَبِيدٌ فَنَزَلَتْ‏ وَ مَنْ يَكْسِبْ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ إِثْماً ثُمَّ يَرْمِ بِهِ بَرِيئاً فَقَدِ احْتَمَلَ بُهْتاناً وَ إِثْماً مُبِيناً

The group of Busheyr came and said, ‘O Busheyr, seek Forgiveness of Allahazwj and repent from the sin’. He said, ‘By the Oneazwj Who I am swearing with, no one stole it except Labeed’. So, it was Revealed: And the one who earns a vice or a sin, then he accuses an innocent one with it, so he has carried a burden of slander and a clear sin [4:112].

ثُمَّ إِنَّ بُشَيْراً كَفَرَ وَ لَحِقَ بِمَكَّةَ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي النَّفْرِ الَّذِينَ أَعْذَرُوا بُشَيْراً وَ أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ص لِيُعْذِرُوهُ‏ وَ لَوْ لا فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحْمَتُهُ لَهَمَّتْ طائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يُضِلُّوكَ وَ ما يُضِلُّونَ إِلَّا أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَ ما يَضُرُّونَكَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ وَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ عَلَّمَكَ ما لَمْ تَكُنْ تَعْلَمُ وَ كانَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ عَظِيماً

Then Busheyr disbelieved and went to Makkah and Allahazwj Revealed regarding the number of persons, those who excused Busheyr and had come to the Prophetsaww to get him excused: And had it not been for the Grace of Allah upon you and His Mercy, a group of them would have resolved to stray you, and they would not have strayed anyone except for their own selves; and they will not harm you with anything; and Allah Revealed upon you the Book and the Wisdom and Taught you what you did not happen to know; and the Grace of Allah was great upon you [4:113].

فَنَزَلَ‏ فِي بُشَيْرٍ وَ هُوَ بِمَكَّةَ وَ مَنْ يُشاقِقِ الرَّسُولَ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما تَبَيَّنَ لَهُ الْهُدى‏ وَ يَتَّبِعْ غَيْرَ سَبِيلِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ نُوَلِّهِ ما تَوَلَّى وَ نُصْلِهِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ ساءَتْ مَصِيراً.

It was Revealed regarding Busheyr, and he was in Makkah: And whoever contends the Rasool after the Guidance has clarified to him, and he follows other than the way of the Momineen, We will Turn him to what he had turned towards and he will arrive to Hell; and it is an evil fate [4:115]’’.²⁷

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – ‘It is reported from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww was in one of hissaww journeys and hesaww said to hissaww companion: ‘A person will be emerging to you all from this mountain pass, there isn’t for him any pact with Ibleesla since three days’.

It was not long before a Bedouin came, his skin had dried up on his body, and his eyes had retreated into his head, and his lips had turned green from having eating the plants. He asked about the Prophetsaww among the first friends until he met himsaww. He said to himsaww, ‘Present Islam to me’. Hesaww said: ‘Say, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Isaww Muhammadsaww am Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’. He said, ‘I accept’.

Hesaww said: ‘You will pray the five (daily) Salats and you will Fast the month of Ramazan’. He said, ‘I accept’. Hesaww said: ‘You will perform Hajj of the Sacred House (Kabah) and pay the Zakaat and wash from the sexual impurities’. He said, ‘I accept’. Then the camel of the Bedouin stayed behind and the Prophetsaww paused. Hesaww asked about him, and the people returned in seeking him, and they found him among the last of the soldiers, a shoe of his camel having had fallen into a pit of rats, and he had fallen and the neck of the Bedouin and the camel was broken and they were both dead.

فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَضُرِبَتْ خَيْمَةٌ فَغُسِّلَ‏ فِيهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَكَفَّنَهُ فَسَمِعُوا لِلنَّبِيِّ ص حَرَكَةً فَخَرَجَ وَ جَبِينُهُ يَتَرَشَّحُ عَرَقاً وَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَعْرَابِيَّ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ جَائِعٌ وَ هُوَ مِمَّنْ آمَنَ وَ لَمْ يَلْبِسْ إِيمَانَهُ بِظُلْمٍ فَابْتَدَرَهُ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ بِثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ يَحْشُونَ‏ بِهَا شِدْقَهُ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اجْعَلْنِي فِي أَزْوَاجِهِ‏.

The Prophetsaww ordered and a tent was struck. Hesaww was washed in it, then the Prophetsaww entered and enshrouded him. Then they heard movement for the Prophetsaww, and hesaww came out and hissaww forehead was sweating profusely, and hesaww said: ‘This Bedouin has died and he was hungry, and he was from the ones who had believed and his Eman had not been clothed with injustice, so the Maiden Hourie had rushed towards him with the fruits of the Paradise stuffing his cheeks with these and she was saying, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Make me to be among his wives’’.²⁸

28- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَتَبَ إِلَى قَيْسِ بْنِ عُرَنَةَ الْبَجَلِيِّ يَأْمُرُهُ بِالْقُدُومِ عَلَيْهِ فَأَقْبَلَ وَ مَعَهُ خُوَيْلِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْكَلْبِيُّ حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ هَابَ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَيْسٌ أَمَّا إِذَا أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ فَكُنْ فِي هَذَا الْجَبَلِ حَتَّى آتِيَهُ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُ الَّذِي تُحِبُّ أَدْعُوكَ فَاتَّبِعْنِي

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – ‘It is reported that Rasool-Allahsaww wrote to Qays Bin Urana ordering him with the arriving to himsaww. He came and with him was Khuweylid Bin Al-Haris Al-Kalby. When he was near Al-Medina, the man dreaded entering. Qays said to him, ‘When you are refusing to enter, then be in this mountain until I go to himsaww. If I see that which you live, I shall call you, and you can follow me’.

He stayed and Qays went until when he entered the Masjid to see the Prophetsaww, he said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! I am a believer’. Hesaww said: ‘Yes, and your companion whom you left behind in the mountain’. He said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and yousaww are a Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’, and he sent a message to his companion. He came to him, and the Prophetsaww said to him; ‘O Qays! Your people are mysaww people, and that for them is a replacement regarding Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’’.²⁹

29- شا، الإرشاد لَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ الْمَدِينَةَ لِتَجْدِيدِ الْعَهْدِ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَيْنَ قُرَيْشٍ عِنْدَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَنِي بَكْرٍ فِي خُزَاعَةَ وَ قَتْلِهِمْ مَنْ قَتَلُوا مِنْهَا فَقَصَدَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لِيَتَلَافَى الْفَارِطَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَ قَدْ خَافَ مِنْ نُصْرَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَهُمْ وَ أَشْفَقَ مِمَّا حَلَّ بِهِمْ‏ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ

(The book) ‘Al-Irshad’ – ‘When Abu Sufyan entered Al-Medina in order to renew the pact between Rasool-Allahsaww and Quraysh during what had happened from the clan of Bakr regarding Khuza’a, and their killing the ones they killed from it. Abu Sufyan aimed to remedy the breakdown from the people, and he feared from the victory of Rasool-Allahsaww over them and pitied from what had been released with them on the day of the conquest (of Makkah).

فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ص وَ كَلَّمَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ جَوَاباً فَقَامَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَلَقِيَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَتَشَبَّثَ بِهِ وَ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ يُوصِلُهُ إِلَى بُغْيَتِهِ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ص فَسَأَلَهُ كَلَامَهُ لَهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَنَا بِفَاعِلِ ذَلِكَ لِعِلْمِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ بِأَنَّ سُؤَالَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ لَا يُغْنِي شَيْئاً

He came to the Prophetsaww and spoke to himsaww regarding that, but hesaww did not respond an answer to him. He got up from hissaww presence and met Abu Bakr and clung with him, and he thought that he would help him to his transgression from the Prophetsaww. He asked him to speak to him for him, he said, ‘I will not do that’, due to the knowledge that if Abu Bakr were to ask himsaww, he may avail something from himsaww.

فَظَنَّ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ بِعُمَرَ مَا ظَنَّهُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَكَلَّمَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَدَفَعَهُ بِغِلْظَةٍ وَ فَظَاظَةٍ كَادَتْ أَنْ يُفْسِدَ الرَّأْيَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَعَدَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَ عِنْدَهُ فَاطِمَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع

Abu Sufyan thought with Umar what he had thought with Abu Bakr. He spoke to him regarding that, but he repelled him with harshness and obscenity, almost spoiling the opinion upon the Prophetsaww. He went to the house of Amir Al-Momineenasws and sought permission to see himasws. He permitted for him, and in hisasws presence was (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws.

فَقَالَ‏ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّكَ أَمَسُّ الْقَوْمِ بِي رَحِماً وَ أَقْرَبُهُمْ مِنِّي قَرَابَةً وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ فَلَا أَرْجِعَنَّ كَمَا جِئْتُ خَائِباً اشْفَعْ لِي عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِيمَا قَصَدْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَيْحَكَ يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ لَقَدْ عَزَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى أَمْرٍ لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ نُكَلِّمَهُ فِيهِ

He said, ‘O Aliasws! youasws are the smoothest of the people to me in mercy and their nearest to me in relationship, and I have come to you so do not return me just as I have come unsuccessful. Intercede for me in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww regarding what I am aiming for’. Heasws said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, O Abu Sufyan!’ Rasool-Allahsaww has determined upon a matter, we are not able to speak to himsaww regarding it’.

فَالْتَفَتَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ ع فَقَالَ لَهَا يَا بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص هَلْ لَكِ أَنْ تَأْمُرِي ابْنَيْكِ أَنْ يُجِيرَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيَكُونَا سَيِّدَيِ الْعَرَبِ إِلَى آخِرِ الدَّهْرِ فَقَالَتْ مَا بَلَغَ بُنَيَّايَ‏ أَنْ يُجِيرَا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ وَ مَا يُجِيرُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

Abu Sufyan turned towards (Syeda) Fatimaasws and said to herasws, ‘O daughterasws of Muhammadsaww! Can it be for youasws to instruct yourasws two sonsasws that theyasws rescue (the matter) between the people so theyasws will become the chiefs of the Arabs up to the end of times?’ Sheasws said: ‘Myasws sonsasws have yet to reach the age to rescue between the people, and no one can rescue against Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَتَحَيَّرَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ وَ أَسْقَطَ فِي يَدَيْهِ‏ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ أَرَى الْأُمُورَ قَدِ الْتَبَسَتْ عَلَيَّ فَانْصَحْ لِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَرَى شَيْئاً يُغْنِي عَنْكَ وَ لَكِنَّكَ سَيِّدُ بَنِي كِنَانَةَ فَقُمْ وَ أَجِرْ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ الْحَقْ بِأَرْضِكَ قَالَ فَتَرَى ذَلِكَ مُغْنِياً عَنِّي شَيْئاً قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَظُنُّ وَ لَكِنْ مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ

Abu Sufyan was confused and regretted, then faced towards Amir Al-Momineenasws and he said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! I view that the matters have become ambiguous upon me, so advise me’. Amir Al-Momineenasws said to him: ‘Iasws do not see anything availing you, but you are a chief of the clan of Kanana, so stand and rescue (the matters) between the people, then join up with your land’. He said, ‘Do youasws see that would avail me anything?’ Heasws said: ‘No, by Allahazwj, Iasws do not think so, but Iasws do not find for you other than that’.

فَقَامَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ أَجَرْتُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ بَعِيرَهُ وَ انْطَلَقَ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ قَالُوا مَا وَرَاءَكَ قَالَ جِئْتُ مُحَمَّداً فَكَلَّمْتُهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا رَدَّ عَلَيَّ شَيْئاً ثُمَّ جِئْتُ إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ خَيْراً ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ‏ فَظّاً غَلِيظاً لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ

Abu Sufyan stood up in the Masjid and said, ‘O you people! I have (tried to) rescue between the people’. Then he rode his camel and went away. When he arrived to Quraysh, they said, ‘What is behind you’. He said, ‘I went to Muhammadsaww and spoke to himsaww, but by Allahazwj, hesaww did not respond anything to me. Then I went to Ibn Abu Quhafa, and I did not find good in him’. Then I met Ibn Al-Khattab and found him obscene, harsh, there being no good in him.

ثُمَّ جِئْتُ‏ عَلِيّاً فَوَجَدْتُهُ أَلْيَنَ الْقَوْمِ لِي وَ قَدْ أَشَارَ عَلَيَّ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَصَنَعْتُهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي يُغْنِي عَنِّي شَيْئاً أَمْ لَا

Then I went to Aliasws and found himasws to be the most lenient of the people towards me and hesaww indicated something to me, so I did it. By Allahazwj, I do not know whether it availed me something or not’.

قَالُوا بِمَا أَمَرَكَ‏ قَالَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُجِيرَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَفَعَلْتُ فَقَالُوا هَلْ أَجَازَ ذَلِكَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ لَا قَالُوا فَوَيْلَكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنْ زَادَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى أَنْ لَعِبَ بِكَ فَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْكَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا وَجَدْتُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ‏.

They said, ‘What did heasws instruct you with?’ He said, ‘Heasws instructed me to seek rescue between the people. I did so’. They said, ‘Did Muhammadsaww allow that?’ He said, ‘No’. They said, ‘Woe be unto you! By Allahazwj, the man has increased playing with you, and nothing will be availed from you’. Abu Sufyan said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, I have not found other than that’’.³⁰

30- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ بِلَالٌ جُمَانَةَ ابْنَةَ الزِّحَافِ الْأَشْجَعِيِّ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي وَادِي النَّعَامِ هَجَمَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَ ضَرَبَتْهُ ضَرْبَةً بَعْدَ ضَرْبَةٍ ثُمَّ جَمَعَتْ مَا كَانَ يَعِزُّ عَلَيْهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَ فِضَّةٍ فِي سَفَرِهِ‏ وَ رَكِبَتْ حِجْرَةً مِنْ خَيْلِ أَبِيهَا وَ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْعَسْكَرِ تَسِيرُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا إِلَى شِهَابِ بْنِ مَازِنٍ الْمُلَقَّبِ بِالْكَوْكَبِ الدُّرِّيِّ وَ كَانَ قَدْ خَطَبَهَا مِنْ أَبِيهَا

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – ‘It is reported that Bilal seized Jumana daughter of Al-Zihaf Al-Ashjaie. When he was in Al-Na’am valley, she attacked him and hit him strike after strike. Then she gathered whatever was dear to her from gold and silver in a journey and rode one of the horses of her father and went out from the army travelling to her direction to Shihab Bin Mazin, nicknamed as ‘the shining star’, and he had proposed to her from her father.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ أَنْفَذَ النَّبِيُّ ص سَلْمَانَ وَ صُهَيْباً إِلَيْهِ لِإِبْطَائِهِ فَرَأَوْهُ مُلْقًى عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ مَيِّتاً وَ الدَّمُ يَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهِ فَأَتَيَا النَّبِيَّ ص وَ أَخْبَرَاهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص كُفُّوا عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ دَعَا بِدَعَوَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ كَفّاً مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَرَشَّهُ عَلَى بِلَالٍ فَوَثَبَ قَائِماً وَ جَعَلَ يُقَبِّلُ قَدَمَ النَّبِيِّ ص

And it was so that the Prophetsaww had sent Salmanra and Suheyb to him (Bilal) due to his delay. They saw him having had been thrown down upon the surface of the ground dead and the blood was flowing from under him. They came to the Prophet and informed him with that. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Refrain from the crying’, then hesaww prayed two Cycles Salat and supplicated with supplication, then grabbed a handful of water and sprinkled it upon Bilal, and he leapt up standing and went on to kiss the feet of the Prophetsaww.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي فَعَلَ بِكَ هَذَا الْفِعَالَ يَا بِلَالُ فَقَالَ جُمَانَةُ بِنْتُ الزِّحَافِ وَ إِنِّي لَهَا عَاشِقٌ فَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ يَا بِلَالُ فَسَوْفَ أُنْفِذُ إِلَيْهَا وَ آتِي بِهَا

The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Who is the one who did this with you O Bilal?’ He said, ‘Jumanah Bint Al-Zihaf, and I am an admirer of hers’. Hesaww said: ‘Receive glad tidings O Bilal, for soon Isaww shall send (someone) to her to bring her’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ هَذَا أَخِي جَبْرَئِيلُ يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَنَّ جُمَانَةَ لَمَّا قَتَلَتْ بِلَالًا مَضَتْ إِلَى رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ شِهَابُ بْنُ مَازِنٍ وَ كَانَ قَدْ خَطَبَهَا مِنْ أَبِيهَا وَ لَمْ يُنْعِمْ لَهُ بِزِوَاجِهَا وَ قَدْ شَكَتْ حَالَهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ قَدْ سَارَ بِجُمُوعِهِ يَرُومُ حَرْبَنَا فَقُمْ وَ اقْصِدْهُ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ فَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَنْصُرُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ هَا أَنَا رَاجِعٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! This mysaww brother Jibraeelas informing mesaww from Lordazwj of the worlds that when Jumana killed Bilal, she went to a man called Shihab Bin Mazin, and he had proposed to her from her father, and he did not confer to him with marrying her and she had complained of her state to him, and he has travelled with his forces to battle us. So, stand and aim for him with the Muslims and Allahazwj the Exalted will Help you over him, and here Isaww am returning to Al-Medina’.

قَالَ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ سَارَ الْإِمَامُ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ جَعَلَ يَجِدُّ فِي السَّيْرِ حَتَّى وَصَلَ إِلَى شِهَابٍ وَ جَاهَدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَسْلَمَ شِهَابٌ وَ أَسْلَمَتْ جُمَانَةُ وَ الْعَسْكَرُ وَ أَتَى بِهِمُ الْإِمَامُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ جَدَّدُوا الْإِسْلَامَ عَلَى يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا بِلَالُ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ كُنْتُ‏ مُحِبّاً لَهَا فَالْآنَ شِهَابٌ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنِّي فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ وَهَبَ شِهَابٌ لِبِلَالٍ جَارِيَتَيْنِ وَ فَرَسَيْنِ وَ نَاقَتَيْنِ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘During that, the Imamasws travelled with the Muslims and went on to hurry in the journey until heasws arrived to Shihab and fought him, and the Muslims were victorious. Shihab became a Muslim and Jumana became a Muslim and (so did) the army, and the Imamasws came with them to Al-Medina, and they renewed their Islam upon the hands of the Prophetsaww. The Prophetsaww said: ‘O Bilal! What do you say?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I was in love with her, but now Shihab is more rightful with her than I am’. During that, hesaww gifted to Shihab for (the sake of) Bilal, two maids, and two horses, and two camels’’.³¹

31- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ لَقَدْ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَيْشاً ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَشِدَّاءِ الْكُفَّارِ فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ خَبَرُهُمْ وَ تَعَلَّقَ قَلْبُهُ بِهِمْ وَ قَالَ لَيْتَ لَنَا مَنْ يَتَعَرَّفُ أَخْبَارَهُمْ وَ يَأْتِينَا بِأَنْبَائِهِمْ

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari)asws – ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘One day Rasool-Allahsaww sent an army to a people from the hardened Kafirs, and their news had been delayed to him and hissaww heart was concerned about them, so hesaww said: ‘If only there was someone for us who could relate their news and come to us with their information’.

بَيْنَا هُوَ قَائِلٌ إِذْ جَاءَهُ الْبَشِيرُ بِأَنَّهُمْ قَدْ ظَفِرُوا بِأَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ اسْتَوْلَوْا وَ صَيَّرُوهُمْ بَيْنَ قَتِيلٍ وَ جَرِيحٍ وَ أَسِيرٍ وَ انْتَهَبُوا أَمْوَالَهُمْ وَ سَبَوْا ذَرَارِيَّهُمْ وَ عِيَالَهُمْ

While hesaww was saying this, when the good news came that they had been victorious against their enemies and had sized them, and that they had become between the killed, and the injured, and captives, and their wealth had been seized and their offspring and their dependants had been made captives.

فَلَمَّا قَرُبَ الْقَوْمُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِأَصْحَابِهِ يَتَلَقَّاهُمْ فَلَمَّا لَقِيَهُمْ وَ رَئِيسُهُمْ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ وَ كَانَ قَدْ أَمَّرَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَمَّا رَأَى زَيْدٌ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص نَزَلَ عَنْ نَاقَتِهِ وَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَبَّلَ رِجْلَهُ ثُمَّ قَبَّلَ يَدَهُ فَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَبَّلَ رَأْسَهُ

So when the group (army) was near to Al-Medina, Rasool-Allahsaww went out to them along with hissaww companions to meet them. When hesaww did meet them, and their leader was Zayd Bin Harisa, and hesaww had made him the leader upon them, and when Zayd saw Rasool-Allahsaww, he descended from his she-camel and came over to Rasool-Allahsaww and kissed hissaww feet, then kissed hissaww hand. So Rasool-Allahsaww grabbed him and kissed his head.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَقَبَّلَ رِجْلَهُ وَ يَدَهُ وَ ضَمَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَيْهِ‏

Then Abdullah Bin Rawaha descended unto Rasool-Allahsaww and kissed hissaww hand and hissaww left, and Rasool-Allahsaww embraced him to himselfsaww.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ سَائِرُ الْجَيْشِ وَ وَقَفُوا يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ خَيْراً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمْ حَدِّثُونِي خَبَرَكُمْ وَ حَالَكُمْ مَعَ أَعْدَائِكُمْ

Then the rest of the army descended and they paused greeting upon himsaww, and Rasool-Allahsaww responded goodly to them, then said to them: ‘Narrated to me your news, and you state with your enemies’.

وَ كَانَ مَعَهُمْ مِنْ أُسَرَاءِ الْقَوْمِ وَ ذَرَارِيِّهِمْ‏ وَ عِيَالاتِهِمْ وَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ صُنُوفِ الْأَمْتِعَةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ عَظِيمٌ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ عَلِمْتَ كَيْفَ حَالُنَا لَعَظُمَ تَعَجُّبُكَ

And there were with them from the captives of the people, and their offspring, and the dependants, and their wealth – from the gold, and the silver, and the kinds of belongings of great things. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! If yousaww get to know our state, yoursaww wonder would be great’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى عَرَّفَنِيهِ الْآنَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ مَا كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً مِنْ كِتَابِهِ وَ دِينِهِ أَيْضاً حَتَّى عَلَّمَنِيهِ رَبِّي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ كَذلِكَ أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ أَمْرِنا ما كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمانُ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ‏ وَ لَكِنْ حَدِّثُوا بِذَلِكَ‏ إِخْوَانَكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِأُصَدِّقَكُمْ فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ع‏

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww did not happen to know that until Jibraeelas just now informed mesaww, and Isaww did not know anything from Hisazwj Book and Hisazwj Religion as well until mysaww Lordazwj Taught mesaww. And thus We Revealed to you a Spirit from Our Command. You did not know what the Book was, nor the Eman, - up to Hisazwj Words: the Straight Path [42:52]. But narrate with that to your brethren, these Momineen, so they would ratify you, for Jibraeelas has informed mesaww (with your truthfulness)’.

فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّا لَمَّا قَرُبْنَا مِنَ الْعَدُوِّ بَعَثْنَا عَيْناً لَنَا لِنَعْرِفَ‏ أَخْبَارَهُمْ وَ عُدَدَهُمْ لَنَا فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْنَا يُخْبِرُنَا أَنَّهُمْ قَدْرُ أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ وَ كُنَّا أَلْفَيْ رَجُلٍ وَ إِذَا الْقَوْمُ قَدْ خَرَجُوا إِلَى ظَاهِرِ بَلَدِهِمْ فِي أَلْفِ رَجُلٍ وَ تَرَكُوا فِي الْبَلَدِ ثَلَاثَةَ آلَافٍ يُوهِمُونَنَا أَنَّهُمْ أَلْفٌ

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! When we were close to the enemy, we sent a spy of ours to familiarise with their news and count (their number) for us. He returned to us informing us that they were approximately a thousand men, and we were two thousand men. And it was so that that the people had gone out to the back of their city among a thousand men, and they had left three thousand in the city which we were assuming that they were a thousand.

وَ أَخْبَرَنَا صَاحِبُنَا أَنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ فِي مَا بَيْنَهُمْ نَحْنُ أَلْفٌ وَ هُمْ أَلْفَانِ وَ لَسْنَا نُطِيقُ مُكَافَحَتَهُمْ وَ لَيْسَ لَنَا إِلَّا التَّحَاصُنُ‏ فِي الْبَلَدِ حَتَّى تَضِيقَ صُدُورُهُمْ مِنْ مُنَازَلَتِنَا فَيَنْصَرِفُوا عَنَّا

And our companion informed us that they were saying in between them, ‘We are a thousand, and they are two thousand, and we would not be endure countering them, and there isn’t (a way) for us except that we fortify ourselves inside the city, until their chests are constricted from our houses, so they would disperse from us’.

فَتَجَرَّأْنَا بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ زَحَفْنَا إِلَيْهِمْ فَدَخَلُوا بَلَدَهُمْ وَ أَغْلَقُوا دُونَنَا بَابَهُ فَقَعَدْنَا نُنَازِلُهُمْ

We were encouraged by that against them, and we advanced towards them and entered their city, and we closed its gates behind us, and we sat awaiting them (for duel).

فَلَمَّا جَنَّ عَلَيْنَا اللَّيْلُ وَ صِرْنَا إِلَى نِصْفِهِ فَتَحُوا بَابَ بَلَدِهِمْ وَ نَحْنُ غَارُّونَ نَائِمُونَ مَا كَانَ فِينَا مُنْتَبِهٌ إِلَّا أَرْبَعَةُ نَفَرٍ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ فِي جَانِبٍ مِنْ جَوَانِبِ عَسْكَرِنَا يُصَلِّي وَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فِي جَانِبٍ آخَرَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ فِي جَانِبٍ آخَرَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ

When the night shielded upon us and went we came to its half (midnight), they opened the gate of their city, while we were heedless, sleeping. There were no attentive ones among us except for four persons – Zayd Bin Harisa in one side from the sides of our soldiers, praying Salat and reciting the Quran; and Abdullah Bin Rawaha in another side, praying Salat and reciting the Quran; and Qatada Bin Al-Nu’man in another side, praying Salat and reciting the Quran; and Qays Bin Aasim in another side, praying and reciting the Quran.

وَ قَيْسُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ فِي جَانِبٍ آخَرَ يُصَلِّي وَ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ فَخَرَجُوا فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الظَّلْمَاءِ الدَّامِسَةِ وَ رَشَقُونَا بِنِبَالِهِمْ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ بَلَدَهُمْ وَ هُمْ بِطُرُقِهِ وَ مَوَاضِعِهِ عَالِمُونَ وَ نَحْنُ بِهَا جَاهِلُونَ فَقُلْنَا فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا دُهِينَا وَ أُوتِينَا هَذَا لَيْلٌ مُظْلِمٌ لَا يُمْكِنُنَا أَنْ نَتَّقِيَ النِّبَالَ لِأَنَّا لَا نُبْصِرُهَا

They came out in the intense darkness of the night and fired their arrows at us. And it was their city, and they were familiar with its ways and its places, and we were ignorant with these. We said between us, ‘They are cunning with us and coming to us, in the darkness of this night. It is not possible for us to dodge the arrows because we cannot see these coming’.

فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ رَأَيْنَا ضَوْءاً خَارِجاً مِنْ فِي قَيْسِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ كَالنَّارِ الْمُشْتَعِلَةِ وَ ضَوْءاً خَارِجاً مِنْ فِي قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ كَضَوْءِ الزُّهَرَةِ وَ الْمُشْتَرِي وَ ضَوْءاً خَارِجاً مِنْ فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَوَاحَةَ كَشُعَاعِ الْقَمَرِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْمُظْلِمَةِ وَ نُوراً سَاطِعاً مِنْ فِي زَيْدِ بْنِ الْحَارِثَةِ أَضْوَأَ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ

While we were like that when we saw an illumination coming out from the mouth of Qays Bin Aasim Al-Miqary, like the flaming fire; and an illumination coming out from the mouth of Qatada Bin Al-Nu’man like the illumination of the venues and the Jupiter; and an illumination coming out from the mouth of Abdullah Bin Awaha like rays of the moon in the dark night; and light spread out from the mouth of Zayd Bin Harisa, more illuminating than the emerging sun.

وَ إِذَا تِلْكَ الْأَنْوَارُ قَدْ أَضَاءَتْ مُعَسْكَرَنَا حَتَّى إِنَّهُ أَضْوَأُ مِنْ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَ أَعْدَاؤُنَا فِي ظُلْمَةٍ شَدِيدَةٍ فَأَبْصَرْنَاهُمْ وَ عَمُوا عَنَّا فَفَرَّقَنَا زَيْدٌ عَلَيْهِمْ حَتَّى أَحَطْنَا بِهِمْ وَ نَحْنُ نُبْصِرُهُمْ وَ هُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَنَا فَنَحْنُ بُصَرَاءُ وَ هُمْ عُمْيَانٌ فَوَضَعْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ السُّيُوفَ فَصَارُوا بَيْنَ قَتِيلٍ وَ جَرِيحٍ وَ أَسِيرٍ

And it was so that those lights had illuminated our soldiers until it was brighter than the middle of the day, and our enemies were in intense darkness. We could see them, but they were blinded from us, and Zayd Bin Harisa separated us to go against them until we had surrounded them, and we could see them, but they could not see us, and we were seeing ones and they were blind ones. We unsheathed our swords upon them, and they came to be between the killed, and the injured, and the captive.

وَ دَخَلْنَا بَلَدَهُمْ فَاشْتَمَلْنَا عَلَى‏ الذَّرَارِيِّ وَ الْعِيَالِ وَ الْأَثَاثِ وَ الْأَمْوَالِ [وَ] هَذِهِ‏ عِيَالاتُهُمْ وَ ذَرَارِيُّهُمْ وَ هَذِهِ أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَ مَا رَأَيْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْجَبَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَنْوَارِ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ الَّتِي عَادَتْ ظُلْمَةً عَلَى أَعْدَائِنَا حَتَّى مَكَّنَنَا مِنْهُمْ

And we entered their city, so we rounded up the offspring and the dependants, and the belongings, and the wealth – and these are their dependants and their offspring, and this here is their wealth. And, O Rasool-Allahsaww! We have not seen anything more strange than those lights, from the mouths of these people, which returned the darkness upon our enemies until it enabled us from (being victorious over) them’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقُولُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ عَلَى مَا فَضَّلَكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ شَهْرِ شَعْبَانَ هَذِهِ كَانَتْ غُرَّةَ شَعْبَانَ‏ وَ قَدِ انْسَلَخَ عَنْهُمُ الشَّهْرُ الْحَرَامُ وَ هَذِهِ الْأَنْوَارُ بِأَعْمَالِ إِخْوَانِكُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي غُرَّةِ شَعْبَانَ وَ أُسْلِفُوا لَهَا أَنْوَاراً فِي لَيْلَتِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقَعَ مِنْهُمُ الْأَعْمَالُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Say, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj, Lordazwj of the worlds’, upon what Heazwj has Graced you all with from the month of Shaban. This was the night of the first of Shaban, and the Sacred month had passed away from them, these are the lights with the deeds of these brothers of yours during the first of Shaban. They sent forth the lights during its nights, before the deeds had even occurred from them’.

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا تِلْكَ الْأَعْمَالُ لِنُثَابَ عَلَيْهَا

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And what are those deeds so we can be habitual upon it?’

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَّا قَيْسُ بْنُ عَاصِمٍ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ فَإِنَّهُ أَمَرَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ فِي يَوْمِ غُرَّةِ شَعْبَانَ وَ قَدْ نَهَى عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ وَ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ فَلِذَلِكَ قُدِّمَ لَهُ النُّورُ فِي بَارِحَةِ يَوْمِهِ عِنْدَ قِرَاءَتِهِ الْقُرْآنَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘As for Qays Bin Aasim Al-Miqary, so he enjoined with the goodness during the day of the first of Shaban, and he had forbidden from evil, and pointed upon goodness. Therefore, due to that, the light preceded for him during the previous night of his day – with his recitation of the Quran.

وَ أَمَّا قَتَادَةُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ فَإِنَّهُ قَضَى دَيْناً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ فِي يَوْمِ غُرَّةِ شَعْبَانَ فَلِذَلِكَ أَسْلَفَهُ اللَّهُ النُّورَ فِي بَارِحَةِ يَوْمِهِ

And as for Qatada Bin Al-Nu’man, so he fulfilled the debt which was upon him during the day of the first of Shaban, therefore, due to that, Allahazwj Sent forth the light during the previous night of his day.

وَ أَمَّا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَوَاحَةَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ بَرّاً بِوَالِدَيْهِ فَكَثُرَتْ غَنِيمَتُهُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنْ غَدِهِ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ إِنِّي وَ أُمَّكَ لَكَ مُحِبَّانِ وَ إِنَّ امْرَأَتَكَ فُلَانَةَ تُؤْذِينَا وَ تَعِيبُنَا وَ إِنَّا لَا نَأْمَنُ مِنِ انْقِلَابٍ‏ فِي بَعْضِ هَذِهِ الْمَشَاهِدِ وَ لَسْنَا نَأْمَنُ أَنْ تُسْتَشْهَدَ فِي بَعْضِهَا فَتُدَاخِلَنَا هَذِهِ فِي أَمْوَالِكَ وَ يَزْدَادَ عَلَيْنَا بَغْيُهَا وَ غَيُّهَا

And as for Abdullah Bin Rawaha, so he was righteous with his parents, and his booty was a lot during this night. When it was the morning, his father said to him, ‘I and your mother are both beloved to you, and your wife so and so, is hurting us and tiring us. And we are not secure of you being harmed during one of these confrontations, and we are not secure that you might be martyred in one of these, so you would include us in this wealth and she would increase her rebellion and her curses upon us’.

فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ بَغْيَهَا عَلَيْكُمْ‏ وَ كَرَاهِيَتَكُمَا لَهَا وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ عَلِمْتُ ذَلِكَ لَأَبَنْتُهَا مِنْ نَفْسِي وَ لَكِنِّي قَدْ أَبَنْتُهَا الْآنَ لِتَأْمَنَا مَا تَحْذَرَانِ فَمَا كُنْتُ بِالَّذِي أُحِبُّ مَنْ تَكْرَهَانِ‏ فَلِذَلِكَ أَسْلَفَهُ اللَّهُ النُّورَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتُمْ

Abdullah said, ‘I did not know of her rebellion upon you, and her disliking you both, and had I known that I would have irrevocably divorced her from myself. But, I hereby irrevocably divorce her right now for you to be secure from what you are both cautious of, for I don’t want to be the one who loves the one who abhors you both’. Therefore, due to that, Allahazwj Sent forth the light which you saw.

وَ أَمَّا زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ فِيهِ نُورٌ أَضْوَأُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ وَ هُوَ سَيِّدُ الْقَوْمِ وَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ فَلَقَدْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ فَاخْتَارَهُ وَ فَضَّلَهُ عَلَى عِلْمِهِ بِمَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي وَلِيَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي‏كَانَ فِيهَا ظَفَرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ مِنْ فِيهِ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مُنَافِقِي عَسْكَرِهِمْ‏ يُرِيدُ التَّضْرِيبَ‏ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ إِفْسَادَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا

And as for Zayd Bin Harisa, that which came out from his mouth, light more illuminating that the emerging sun – he was the chief of the people and their superior, and Allahazwj had Known what was be happening from him. So Heazwj Hose him and Graced him upon his knowledge with what would be happening from him during the day which was to follow this night – in which the Momineen were victorious in – with the emerging sun from his mouth. A man from the hypocrites of his soldiers came over intending the souring of relations between him and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and spoiling whatever was between them.

فَقَالَ لَهُ بَخْ بَخْ لَكَ أَصْبَحْتَ لَا نَظِيرَ لَكَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ صَحَابَتِهِ وَ هَذَا بَلَاؤُكَ وَ هَذَا الَّذِي شَاهَدْنَاهُ نُورُكَ

He said to him, ‘Congratulations, congratulations! You come to the morning and there is no match for you among the Peopleasws of the Household of Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww companions. This plague is your doing, and this light of yours which we witnessed’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ زَيْدٌ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ لَا تُفْرِطْ فِي الْمَقَالِ وَ لَا تَرْفَعْنِي فَوْقَ قَدْرِي فَإِنَّكَ بِذَلِكَ مُخَالِفٌ‏ وَ بِهِ كَافِرٌ وَ إِنِّي إِنْ تَلَقَّيْتُ مَقَالَتَكَ هَذِهِ بِالْقَبُولِ كَذَلِكَ‏

Zayd said to him, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Fear Allahazwj and do not exaggerate in the speech, nor raise me above my worth, for you would be opposing Allahazwj with that and would be a Kafir due to it, and so would I, if I were to accept this speech of your with the acceptance, that I was like that.

يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِمَا كَانَ فِي أَوَائِلِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَا بَعْدَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَدِينَةَ وَ زَوَّجَهُ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ وَلَدَتِ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع‏ قَالَ بَلَى

O Abdullah! Shall I narrate to you with what was during the beginning of Al-Islam and what was after it, until Rasool-Allahazwj entered Al-Medina, and got (Syeda) Fatimaasws married, and sheasws was Blessed with Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ لِي شَدِيدَ الْمَحَبَّةِ حَتَّى تَبَنَّانِي لِذَلِكَ‏ فَكُنْتُ أُدْعَى زَيْدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى أَنْ وُلِدَ لِعَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع فَكَرِهْتُ ذَلِكَ لِأَجْلِهِمَا وَ قُلْتُ لِمَنْ كَانَ يَدْعُونِي أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَدْعُوَنِي زَيْداً مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُضَاهِيَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ

He said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had intense love for me to the extent that hesaww considered me as a son due to that. I used to be called, ‘Zayd son of Muhammadsaww, until (such time as) Aliasws was blessed with Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws. I disliked that for theirasws reason, and I said to the one who was calling me as such, ‘I would love it if you could call me, ‘Zayd, slave of Rasool-Allahsaww’, for I dislike it that I should be (called) equalled to Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws.

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى صَدَّقَ اللَّهُ ظَنِّي وَ أَنْزَلَ‏ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص‏ ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ‏ يَعْنِي قَلْباً يُحِبُّ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَهُ وَ يُعَظِّمُهُمْ وَ قَلْباً يُعَظِّمُ بِهِ غَيْرَهُمْ كَتَعْظِيمِهِمْ أَوْ قَلْباً يُحِبُّ بِهِ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ بَلْ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ فَهُوَ يُبْغِضُهُمْ وَ لَا يُحِبُّهُمْ‏

I did not cease to be like that until Allahazwj Ratified my thinking and Revealed unto Muhammadsaww: Allah has not Made for any man two hearts within him [33:4] – meaning a heart which loves Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws and reveres themasws, and a heart revering others with it like theirasws reverence; or a heart revering theirasws enemies with it. But, the one who loves theirasws enemies, so he is (actually) hating themasws and does not love themasws, (and the one who equates themasws with theirasws friends, so he (actually) hates them and does not love themasws)’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ وَ ما جَعَلَ أَزْواجَكُمُ اللَّائِي تُظاهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ أُمَّهاتِكُمْ وَ ما جَعَلَ أَدْعِياءَكُمْ أَبْناءَكُمْ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ أُولُوا الْأَرْحامِ بَعْضُهُمْ أَوْلى‏ بِبَعْضٍ فِي كِتابِ اللَّهِ‏ يَعْنِي الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع أَوْلَى بِبُنُوَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ فَرْضِهِ‏ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُهاجِرِينَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَفْعَلُوا إِلى‏ أَوْلِيائِكُمْ مَعْرُوفاً إِحْسَاناً وَ إِكْرَاماً لَا يَبْلُغُ ذَلِكَ مَحَلَّ الْأَوْلَادِ كانَ‏ ذلِكَ فِي الْكِتابِ مَسْطُوراً

Then Heazwj Said: nor has He made your wives whose backs you liken to the backs of your mothers as your mothers, nor has He Made those whom you assert to be your sons as your real sons [33:4] – up to Hisazwj Words and the possessors of relationships some of them are closer to others in the Book of Allah [33:6] - meaning Al-Hassan and Al-Husaynasws are foremost with the sonship of Rasool-Allahsaww in the Book of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Obligations than the Believers and the Emigrants except that you should do good to your friends – doing favours and be honouring. That does not reach a position of the children, that was in the Written Book [33:6].

فَتَرَكُوا ذَلِكَ وَ جَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ زَيْدٌ أَخُو رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَمَا زَالَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ لِي هَذَا وَ أَكْرَهُهُ حَتَّى أَعَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمُؤَاخَاةَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

They left that (calling me as the son of Muhammadsaww) – and went on saying, ‘Zayd, brother of Rasool-Allahsaww’. The people did not cease to be saying this for me and I disliked it, until Rasool-Allahazwj established the brotherhood between himsaww and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

ثُمَّ قَالَ زَيْدٌ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ زَيْداً مَوْلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَمَا هُوَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَا تَجْعَلْهُ نَظِيرَهُ وَ لَا تَرْفَعْهُ فَوْقَ قَدْرِهِ فَتَكُونَ كَالنَّصَارَى لَمَّا رَفَعُوا عِيسَى ع فَوْقَ قَدْرِهِ فَكَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

Then Zayd said, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Zayd is a slave of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws just as heasws is a slave of Rasool-Allahsaww, therefore do not make him (Zayd) to be hisasws peer, nor raise him to be above his worth, for you would become like the Christians when they raised Isaas above hisas worth, they disbelieving in Allahazwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَلِذَلِكَ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ زَيْداً بِمَا رَأَيْتُمْ وَ شَرَّفَهُ بِمَا شَاهَدْتُمْ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Thus, due to that, Allahazwj Graced Zayd with what you saw, and Ennobled him with what you witnessed.

وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ الَّذِي أَعَدَّهُ اللَّهُ لِزَيْدٍ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لَيَصْغُرُ فِي جَنْبِهِ مَا شَهِدْتُمْ‏ فِي الدُّنْيَا مِنْ نُورِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ نُورُهُ يَسِيرُ أَمَامَهُ وَ خَلْفَهُ وَ يَمِينَهُ وَ يَسَارَهُ وَ فَوْقَهُ وَ تَحْتَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مَسِيرَةَ مِائَتَيْ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ.

By the Oneazwj Whom Sent mesaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww! That which Allahazwj has Prepared for Zayd in the Hereafter would make pale into insignificance in his side what you saw in the world from his light. He would come on the Day of Judgment and his light would spread in front of him, and behind him, and his right, and his left, and above him, and beneath him, from every side to a travel distance of a thousand years’’.³²

32- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَتَبَسَّمَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَتَبَسَّمْتَ قَالَ نَعَمْ عَجِبْتُ لِمَلَكَيْنِ هَبَطَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَلْتَمِسَانِ عَبْداً مُؤْمِناً صَالِحاً فِي مُصَلًّى كَانَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ لِيَكْتُبَا لَهُ عَمَلَهُ فِي يَوْمِهِ وَ لَيْلَتِهِ فَلَمْ يَجِدَاهُ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ

Al Kafi – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww raised hissaww head towards the sky and hesaww smiled. So it was said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! We saw yousaww raising yoursaww head towards the sky’. So hesaww smiled and said: ‘Yes. Isaww was astounded at two Angels who had descended from the sky to the earth, seeking a righteous believing servant in a Prayer mat, which he used to pray Salaat in, in order to record his deeds for him for his day and his night. But they did not find him to be on his Prayer mat.

فَعَرَجَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالا رَبَّنَا عَبْدُكَ فُلَانٌ الْمُؤْمِنُ‏ الْتَمَسْنَاهُ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ لِنَكْتُبَ لَهُ عَمَلَهُ لِيَوْمِهِ وَ لَيْلَتِهِ فَلَمْ نُصِبْهُ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ فِي حِبَالِكَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اكْتُبَا لِعَبْدِي مِثْلَ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ فِي صِحَّتِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فِي يَوْمِهِ وَ لَيْلَتِهِ مَا دَامَ فِي حِبَالِي فَإِنَّ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَكْتُبَ لَهُ أَجْرَ مَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُهُ إِذَا حَبَسْتُهُ عَنْهُ‏.

So, they ascended to the sky and said: ‘Our Lordazwj! Yourazwj believing servant, so and so, we sought him on his prayer-mat in order for us to record his deeds for him for his day and his night, but we did not come across him, and we found him in Yourazwj ropes (i.e. tied down by illness)’. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Write down for Myazwj servant the likes of what he would have doing during his well-being, from the goodness during his day and his night, for as long as he is in Myazwj ropes (Illness from Meazwj), for it is upon Meazwj that Iazwj Write for him a Recompense of what he would have done during his well-being when Iazwj Reckon from him”’.³³

33- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمُكَارِي عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص‏ وَفْدٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَ فِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ كَانَ أَعْظَمَهُمْ كَلَاماً وَ أَشَدَّهُمْ اسْتِقْصَاءً فِي مُحَاجَّةِ النَّبِيِّ فَغَضِبَ النَّبِيُّ ص حَتَّى الْتَوَى عِرْقُ الْغَضَبِ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ تَرَبَّدَ وَجْهُهُ وَ أَطْرَقَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Saeed Al Mukari, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There came to Rasool-Allahsaww a delegation from Al-Yemen, and among them was a man who was their greatest speaker, and the most intense of interrogation in argumentation with the Prophetsaww. The Prophetsaww got angered until a ‘vein of the tension’ strained between hissaww eyes, and hissaww face glowered, and looked down to the ground.

فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ رَبُّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ هَذَا رَجُلٌ سَخِيٌّ يُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ فَسَكَنَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص الْغَضَبُ وَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ لَوْ لَا أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَّكَ سَخِيٌّ تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ شَدَّدْتُ‏ بِكَ وَ جَعَلْتُكَ حَدِيثاً لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ

Jibraeelas came unto himsaww and said: ‘Yoursaww Lordazwj Conveys Hisazwj Greeting and is Saying to yousaww: “This is a generous man. He feeds the food”’. So the anger subsided from the Prophetsaww, and hesaww raised hissaww head and said to him: ‘Had Jibraeelas not informed mesaww from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that you are a generous one, feeding the food, Isaww would have expelled you and made you as a discussion for the ones behind you’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ لَيُحِبُّ السَّخَاءَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا رَدَدْتُ عَنْ مَالِي أَحَداً.

The man said to himsaww, ‘And yoursaww Lordazwj Loves the generosity?’ So hesaww said: ‘Yes’. So he said, ‘I hereby testify that there is no god except for Allahazwj and yousaww are Rasool-Allahsaww; and by the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth, I shall not be repelling anyone from my wealth’’.³⁴

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy, from Usman Bin Isa, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘

34- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ إِنِّي شَيْخٌ كَثِيرُ الْعِيَالِ ضَعِيفُ الرُّكْنِ قَلِيلُ الشَّيْ‏ءِ فَهَلْ مِنْ مَعُونَةٍ عَلَى زَمَانِي فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ قَالَ قَدْ أَسْمَعَنَا الْقَوْلَ وَ أَسْمَعَكُمْ

A man came over to the Prophetsaww, so he said: ‘I am an old man with a lot of dependants, weak of health, with few things. So, is there an assistance upon my time?’ Rasool-Allahsaww looked at hissaww companions, and hissaww companions looked at himsaww and hesaww said, ‘He made ussaww to hear the speech, and made you all to hear it’.

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ كُنْتُ مِثْلَكَ بِالْأَمْسِ فَذَهَبَ بِهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ مِرْوَداً مِنْ تِبْرٍ وَ كَانُوا يَتَبَايَعُونَ بِالتِّبْرِ وَ هُوَ الذَّهَبُ وَ الْفِضَّةُ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَذَا كُلُّهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ اقْبَلْ تِبْرَكَ فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ بِجِنِّيٍّ وَ لَا إِنْسِيٍّ وَ لَكِنِّي رَسُولٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِأَبْلُوَكَ فَوَجَدْتُكَ شَاكِراً فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً.

A man stood up and he said, ‘I was like you yesterday’. He went away with him to his house and gave him an ingot, and they used to be trading with the ingot, and it was the gold and the silver. The old man said, ‘This is all of it (for me)?’ He said, ‘Yes’. So the old man said, ‘I accept your ingot, and I am neither a jinn nor a human, but I am a messenger from Allahazwj to test you, so you have been found to be grateful. May Allahazwj Recompense you goodly’’.³⁵

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad and Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad altogether from Al Washa, from Ahmad Bin Aiz, from Abu Khadeeja, from Moalla Bin Khunays,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘A man said to the Prophetsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Teach me (something)’. Hesaww said: ‘Go and don’t be angry’. So, the man said, ‘I have suffice with that’. He went to his family and he found that there was a battle in between his people, and they had lined up in rows and wearing the weapons.

فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ لَبِسَ سِلَاحَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ مَعَهُمْ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَغْضَبْ فَرَمَى السِّلَاحَ ثُمَّ جَاءَ يَمْشِي إِلَى الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَدُوُّ قَوْمِهِ فَقَالَ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ مَا كَانَتْ لَكُمْ مِنْ جِرَاحَةٍ أَوْ قَتْلٍ أَوْ ضَرْبٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَثَرٌ فَعَلَيَّ فِي مَالِي أَنَا أُوفِيكُمُوهُ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ فَمَا كَانَ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ

When he saw that, he (also) wore his weapon, then stood along with them. Then he remembered the words of Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Don’t be angry’. He threw down the weapon, then went walking over to the people who were the enemies of his people, and he said, ‘O you all! Whatever injuries were with you, or (if) a killing, or a strike in which there were no effects, so upon me is (the compensation for it) from my wealth. I shall fulfil it’. The people said, ‘So whatever it was, it is for you, (although) we are foremost for it with that than you are (i.e. we don’t want anything)’’.

قَالَ فَاصْطَلَحَ الْقَوْمُ وَ ذَهَبَ الْغَضَبُ.

Heasws said: ‘So the people reconciled and the hostility was gone’’.³⁶

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim – Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad bin Imad al barbari, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, and a nickname of his father is ‘Dahir Al Razy’, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Quddous, from Al Amsh, from Musa Bin Al Sayf, from salim Bin Al Ja’d, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansary who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww sent Al-Waleed Bin Uqba Bin Abu Mueet to the clan of Walia, and between him and them used to be enmity during the pre-Islamic period. When he reached to the clan of Walia they welcomed him in order to look at what is in himself.

قَالَ فَخَشِيَ الْقَوْمَ فَرَجَعَإِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ بَنِي وَلِيعَةَ أَرَادُوا قَتْلِي وَ مَنَعُونِيَ الصَّدَقَةَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ بَنِي وَلِيعَةَ الَّذِي قَالَ لَهُمُ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عُقْبَةَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَقُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَذَبَ الْوَلِيدُ وَ لَكِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ شَحْنَاءُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَخَشِينَا أَنْ يُعَاقِبَنَا بِالَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He feared the people and returned to the Prophetsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The clan of Walia were intending to kill me and they prevented the charities from me’. When it reached the clan of Walia that which Waleed Bin Uqba had said of them in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww, they met Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Waleed has lied, but there used to be enmity between us and him during the pre-Islamic period, so he feared us that we might retaliate for that which was between us and him’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَتَنْتَهُنَّ يَا بَنِي وَلِيعَةَ أَوْ لَأَبْعَثَنَّ إِلَيْكُمْ رَجُلًا عِنْدِي كَنَفْسِي فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلِيكُمْ وَ سَبَى ذَرَارِيَّكُمْ‏ هُوَ هَذَا حَيْثُ تَرَوْنَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى كَتِفِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي الْوَلِيدِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ‏ آمَنُوا إِنْ جاءَكُمْ فاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَنْ تُصِيبُوا قَوْماً بِجَهالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلى‏ ما فَعَلْتُمْ نادِمِينَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘End (what you are doing), O clan of Walia, or else Isaww shall send to you a man from mesaww like myselfsaww, and he will kill your fighters and capture your offspring. He is this one where you are seeing’, and hesaww struck hissaww hand upon a shoulder of Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and Allahazwj Revealed regarding Waleed, this Verse: O you who believe! If a transgressor comes to you with news, then investigate, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and you would become remorseful upon what you have done [49:6]’’.³⁷

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Jameela, from Sa’ad Al Iskaaf,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The Prophetsaww passed by a food stall in the market of Medina. Hesaww said to its owner: ‘Isaww do not see your foodstuff except as good’, and asked him about its price. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to himsaww to insert hissaww hand in the food stuff. Hesaww did so and it came out decayed. Hesaww said to its owner: ‘Isaww do not see yousaww except and you have gathered betrayal and cheating for the Muslims’’.³⁸

The Prophetsaww was angered and hesaww said: ‘O Bedouin! How many veils are there for your tongue?’ He said, ‘Two lips and teeth’. Hesaww said: ‘But was there in anyone of these two what you can limit this tongue of yours from ussaww? But no one has been given in his world anything more harmful to him regarding his Hereafter than freedom of his tongue. O Aliasws! Arise and cut off his tongue!’ The people thought heasws would cut off his tongue, but heasws gave him Dirhams (money)’’.³⁹

When it was, morning and I went to himsaww, hesaww said to me: ‘O Rabie! Give your need’. I said, ‘Can yousaww ask Allahazwj to Enter me into the Paradise along with yousaww’. Hesaww said to me: ‘Who taught you this?’ I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! No one has taught me, but I thought within myself and said, ‘If I were to ask himsaww for wealth, it would be up to depletion, and if I were to ask himsaww for long life and children, their end result would be the death’.

Then yousaww mention the Hereafter and I fear that I may not see yousaww over there, because I recognise that yousaww will be high up with the Prophetsas, and I when I enter the Paradise would be in a lower position from yoursaww position, and if I do not enter the Paradise, then I do not reckon that I will see yousaww, ever!’

فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ص وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يُؤْمِنَنَّ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ أَبَوَيْهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

So, the Verse was Revealed. Then hesaww said: ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose hand is mysaww soul! No servant has believed until Isaww happen to be more beloved to him than himself, and his father, and his wife, and his son, and the people altogether’.

وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالُوا مَا يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نُفَارِقَكَ فَإِنَّا لَا نَرَاكَ إِلَّا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَأَمَّا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ تُرْفَعُ فَوْقَنَا بِفَضْلِكَ فَلَا نَرَاكَ فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ- عَنْ قَتَادَةَ وَ مَسْرُوقٍ‏.

And it is said that the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww said, ‘It is not befitting for us that we separate from yousaww, so we will not see yousaww except in the world. As for in the Hereafter, yousaww will be raised above us due to yoursaww merit, so we will not see yousaww’. So, the Verse was Revealed – from Qatadah and Masrouq’’.⁴²

Al Kafi – ‘Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla and Ali, from his father, altogether from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashari, from Al Qadah,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘‘There were two men in Al-Medina, one of them was called Hayt and the other one Mani’e. So they both said to a man, and Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘When you go to Al-Taif, Allahazwj Willing, so upon you is a daughter of Gaylan Al-Saqafy for she is a candle of the miserly, moist, slender, sweet. Whenever she sits, she bends, and when she speaks, she sings. She comes with four and goes back with eight; between her legs is the likeness of the cup’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَا أَرَاكُمَا مِنْ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَعُزِبَ بِهِمَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْغَرَابَا وَ كَانَ يَتَسَوَّقَانِ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ.

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Isaww do not view the two of you as the ones devoid of physical desire from the men’. So Rasool-Allahsaww ordered with the two of them and they were exiled with to a place called Al-Garaba, and they were both trading during every Friday’’.⁴³

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – ‘Majaylawiya, from his father, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Khalid Bin Hammad Al Asady, from Abu Al Hassan Al Abdy, from Al Amsh, from Salim Bin Abu Al Ja’ad who said,

‘Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari was asked about Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, so he said, ‘That one is the best of the creatures of Allahazwj, from the former ones and the latter ones, apart from the Prophetsas and the Messengersas. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic did not Created any creatures after the Prophetsas and Messengersas, more Prestigious to Himazwj than Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the Imamsasws from hisasws sonsasws after himasws’.

قُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِيمَنْ يُبْغِضُهُ وَ يَنْتَقِصُهُ فَقَالَ لَا يُبْغِضُهُ إِلَّا كَافِرٌ وَ لَا يَنْتَقِصُهُ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ

I said, ‘So what are you saying regarding the ones who hate himasws and reduce himasws?’ He said, ‘None will hate himasws except a Kafi nor reduce himasws except a hypocrite’.

قُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِيمَنْ يَتَوَلَّاهُ وَ يَتَوَلَّى الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ بَعْدَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ شِيعَةَ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ الْآمِنُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

I said, ‘So what are you saying regarding the ones who befriend himasws and befriend the Imamsasws from hisasws sonsasws after himasws?’ He said, ‘The Shias of Aliasws and of the Imamsasws from after himasws will be the successful ones and the secured ones on the Day of Qiyamah’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا تَرَوْنَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ مَنْ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ قَالُوا شِيعَتُهُ وَ أَنْصَارُهُ قَالَ فَلَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا خَرَجَ يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى هُدًى مَنْ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ قَالُوا شِيعَتُهُ وَ أَنْصَارُهُ قَالَ فَكَذَلِكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع بِيَدِهِ لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ شِيعَتُهُ وَ أَنْصَارُهُ‏.

Then he said, ‘What are your views if a man were to go out calling the people to the straying, who would be the closest of the people from himasws?’ They said, ‘Hisasws shias and hisasws helpers’. He said, ‘If a man were to go out calling the people to guidance, who would be the closest of the people from himasws?’ They said, ‘Hisasws Shias and hisasws helpers’. He said, ‘Like that is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. In hisasws hand would be the Flag of Praise on the Day of Qiyamah, the closes of the people from himasws would be hisasws Shias and hisasws helpers’’.⁴⁴

44- فس، تفسير القمي‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَيَّنُوا وَ لا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقى‏ إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِناً تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا

Tafseer Al Qummi - O you who believe! When you strike (swords) in the Way of Allah, distinguish, and do not be saying for the one who casts the peace towards you, ‘He isn’t a Momin’. Are you seeking the life of the world? [4:94].

فَإِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ وَ بَعَثَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ فِي خَيْلٍ إِلَى بَعْضِ قُرَى الْيَهُودِ فِي نَاحِيَةِ فَدَكَ لِيَدْعُوَهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ وَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ يُقَالُ لَهُ مِرْدَاسُ بْنُ نَهِيكٍ الْفَدَكِيُّ فِي بَعْضِ الْقُرَى فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِخَيْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص جَمَعَ أَهْلَهُ وَ مَالَهُ وَ صَارَ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْجَبَلِ فَأَقْبَلَ يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ‏اللَّهِ

‘It was Revealed when Rasool-Allahsaww returned from the military expedition of Khyber, and hesaww sent Asama Bin Zayd among a cavalry to one of the Jewish towns around the area of Fadak, in order to invite them to Al-Islam. And there was a man from the Jews called Mardas Bin Naheyk Al-Fadaky in one of the towns. So when he sensed the cavalry of Rasool-Allahsaww, he gathered his family and his wealth and came to be near the mountain, and faced saying, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَمَرَّ بِهِ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَطَعَنَهُ وَ قَتَلَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَتَلْتَ رَجُلًا شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا قَالَهَا تَعَوُّذاً مِنَ الْقَتْلِ

Asama Bin Zayd passed by him, so he stabbed him and killed him. When he returned to Rasool-Allahsaww, he informed himsaww with that. So Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘You killed a man who testified that there is no god except Allahazwj and Isaww am Rasool-Allahsaww?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! But rather, he said it in order to seek refuge from being killed’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَلَا شَقَقْتَ‏ الْغِطَاءَ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ لَا مَا قَالَ بِلِسَانِهِ قَبِلْتَ وَ لَا مَا كَانَ فِي نَفْسِهِ عَلِمْتَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘But you neither removed the cover from his heart, nor did you accept what he said by his tongue, nor did you know what was within himself’.

فَحَلَفَ أُسَامَةُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْتُلُ‏ أَحَداً شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَتَخَلَّفَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي حُرُوبِهِ

Asma vowed after that the he will not kill anyone who testified that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww. Thus, he stayed behind from Amir Al-Momineenasws during hisasws battles.

وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ‏ وَ لا تَقُولُوا لِمَنْ أَلْقى‏ إِلَيْكُمُ السَّلامَ لَسْتَ مُؤْمِناً تَبْتَغُونَ عَرَضَ الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا فَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَغانِمُ كَثِيرَةٌ كَذلِكَ كُنْتُمْ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَمَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَبَيَّنُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِما تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيراً.

So Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed regarding that: and do not be saying for the one who casts the peace towards you, ‘He isn’t a Momin’. Are you seeking the life of the world? But, in the Presence of Allah are abundant gains. Like that is how you used to be before, then Allah Favoured upon you. Therefore distinguish (first). Allah would always be Informed of what you are doing [4:94]’’.⁴⁵

Tafseer Al Qummi - Have you not seen those who are alleging that they do believe in what is Revealed unto you and what was Revealed from before you? They are intending to summon each other to the judgment of the tyrant, although they have been Commanded to disbelieve in him, and the Satan intends to stray them with a far strayin [4:60]. It was Revealed regarding Al-Zubeyr Bin Al-Awwam. He contended with a man from the Jews regarding a garden. Al-Zubeyr said, ‘Are you pleased with Ibn Shayba the Jew (for decision)?’ And the Jew said, ‘Are you pleased with Muhammadsaww?’

وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَ ما أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَ قَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ وَ يُرِيدُ الشَّيْطانُ أَنْ يُضِلَّهُمْ ضَلالًا بَعِيداً وَ إِذا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعالَوْا إِلى‏ ما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ وَ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ رَأَيْتَ الْمُنافِقِينَ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْكَ صُدُوداً وَ هُمْ أَعْدَاءُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كُلُّهُمْ جَرَتْ فِيهِمْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ.

And Allahazwj Revealed: Have you not seen those who are alleging that they do believe in what is Revealed unto you and what was Revealed from before you? They are intending to summon each other to the judgment of the tyrant, although they have been Commanded to disbelieve in him, and the Satan intends to stray them with a far straying [4:60] And when it is said to them: ‘Come to what Allah has Revealed and to the Rasool’, you will see the hypocrites hindering (people) from you in aversion [4:61], and they are enemies of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, this Verse flows regarding all of them’’.⁴⁶ (An opinion)

Tafseer Al-Qummi - And others are acknowledging their sins, mingling one righteous deed and another evil one. Perhaps Allah will Turn towards them (Mercifully), surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [9:102]. ‘It was revealed regarding Abu Lababa Bin Abdul Munzar, and it so happened that Rasool-Allahsaww, when hesaww besieged the clan of Qureyza, they said to himsaww, ‘For us it is Abu Lababa. We will consult him regarding our matter’. So Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abu Lababa! Bring your allies and your friends’.

فَأَتَاهُمْ فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا بَا لُبَابَةَ مَا تَرَى أَ نَنْزِلُ عَلَى حُكْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ انْزِلُوا وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ حُكْمَهُ فِيكُمْ هُوَ الذَّبْحُ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ ثُمَّ نَدِمَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ خُنْتُ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ نَزَلَ مِنْ حِصْنِهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَرَّ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَ شَدَّ فِي عُنُقِهِ حَبْلًا ثُمَّ شَدَّهُ إِلَى الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تُسَمَّى أُسْطُوَانَةَ التَّوْبَةِ فَقَالَ لَا أَحُلُّهُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ أَوْ يَتُوبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ

They said to him, ‘O Abu Lababa! What is your view, should be descend (from our fortress) upon the decision of Muhammadsaww?’ He said, ‘Descend, and know that hissaww decision regarding you all, it would be the slaughter’, and he gestured towards his throat. Then he regretted upon that, so he said, ‘I have betrayed Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww!’ And he descended from their fortress and did not return to Rasool-Allahsaww and went over to the Masjid and fastened his neck with a rope, then fastened it to the pillar which is named as ‘the pillar of repentance’, and said, ‘I will not release it until I die or Allahazwj Turns towards me (Mercifully)’.

فَبَلَغَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص‏ فَقَالَ أَمَا لَوْ أَتَانَا لَاسْتَغْفَرْنَا اللَّهَ لَهُ فَأَمَّا إِذَا قَصَدَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَى بِهِ

It reached Rasool-Allahsaww, so hesaww said: ‘But, if he had come to mesaww, Isaww would have sought Forgiveness of Allahazwj for him. But, as he has aimed to his Lordazwj, then Allahazwj if Foremost with it’.

وَ كَانَ أَبُو لُبَابَةَ يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَ يَأْكُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ مَا يُمْسِكُ رَمَقَهُ‏ وَ كَانَتْ بِنْتُهُ تَأْتِيهِ بِعَشَائِهِ وَ تَحُلُّهُ عِنْدَ قَضَاءِ الْحَاجَةِ

And Abu Lababa used to Fast during the day, and he would eat at night what could withhold his hunger. And his daughter used to come to him with his dinner, and release him during fulfilment of the need.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي بَيْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ نَزَلَتْ تَوْبَتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ قَدْ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَبِي لُبَابَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ فَأُؤْذِنُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَتَفْعَلَنَ فَأَخْرَجَتْ رَأْسَهَا مِنَ الْحُجْرَةِ فَقَالَتْ يَا أَبَا لُبَابَةَ أَبْشِرْ قَدْ تَابَ‏ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

When it was after that, Rasool-Allahsaww was in the chamber of Umm Salmara, his repentance was Revealed. Hesaww said: ‘O Umm Salmara! Allahazwj has Turned to Abu Lababa’. She said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Shall Ira notify him with that?’ Hesaww said: ‘Do so’. Shera brought herra head out from the chamber and shera said, ‘O Abu Lababa! Receive glad tidings, Allahazwj has Turned to you!’ He said, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj’.

فَوَثَبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَحُلُّونَهُ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَحُلَّنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِيَدِهِ فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا لُبَابَةَ قَدْ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ تَوْبَةً لَوْ وُلِدْتَ مِنْ أُمِّكَ يَوْمَكَ هَذَا لَكَفَاكَ

So the Muslims leapt up to release him, but he said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, until Rasool-Allahsaww releases me’. Rasool-Allahsaww and hesaww said: ‘O Abu Lababa! Allahazwj has Turned to you with such a (Merciful) Turning, as if you had been born from your mother in this day of yours, it suffices you’.

فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ فَأَتَصَدَّقُ بِمَالِي كُلِّهِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَبِثُلُثَيْهِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَبِنِصْفِهِ قَالَ لَا قَالَ فَبِثُلُثِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ

He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Can I give all of my wealth in charity?’ Hesaww said: ‘No’. He said, ‘So two-thirds of it?’ Hesaww said: ‘No’. He said, ‘So half of it?’ Hesaww said: ‘No’. He said, ‘So a third of it?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ آخَرُونَ اعْتَرَفُوا بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً عَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ خُذْ مِنْ أَمْوالِهِمْ صَدَقَةً إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبادِهِ وَ يَأْخُذُ الصَّدَقاتِ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ‏.

Allahazwj Revealed: And others are acknowledging their sins, mingling one righteous deed and another evil one. Perhaps Allah will Turn towards them (Mercifully), surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [9:102] Take charity from their wealth, you will cleanse them and purify them by it, and pray Salat upon them. Surely your Salat would be a tranquillity for them, and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [9:103] Do they not know that Allah Accepts the repentance from His servants, and He Takes the charities, and that Allah, He is the Oft-Turning, the Merciful?

Tafseer Al-Qummi – ‘In a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘the ones (recently) inclined of their hearts (to Al-Islam) [9:60], Abu Sufyan Bin Harb bin Umayya, and Suheyl Bin Amro and he was from the clan of Aamir Bin Luway, and Hamam Bin Amro and his brother, and Safwan Bin Umayya Bin Khalaf Al Qurshi, then Al Jumahy and Al Aqru Bin Habis Al Tameemi, then one of the clan of Hazim, and Uyayna Bin Hisn Al Fazari, and Malik Bin Awf, and Alqama Bin Alqama.

Tafseer Al-Qummi - And from them are those who are hurting the Prophet and they are saying, ‘He is (only) a hearer’. [9:61]. ‘The reason for its Revelation was that Abdullah Bin Nufayl was a hypocrite, and he used to sit around Rasool-Allahsaww and he would hear hissaww speech and transmit it to the hypocrites, and he would betray upon himsaww. So Jibraeelas descended unto Rasool-Allahsaww and heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! A man from the hypocrites is betraying youasws, and he is transmitting yoursaww Hadeeth to the hypocrites’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ هُوَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ الْأَسْوَدُ كَثِيرُ شَعْرِ الرَّأْسِ‏ يَنْظُرُ بِعَيْنَيْنِ كَأَنَّهُمَا قِدْرَانِ وَ يَنْطِقُ بِلِسَانِ‏ شَيْطَانٍ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَحَلَفَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ قَبِلْتُ مِنْكَ فَلَا تَقْعُدْ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Who is he?’ Heas said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! (It is) the man with the black face, a lot of hair on the head. He looks with his eyes as if they are ogling, and he speaks with the tongue of satanla’. Rasool-Allahsaww called him and informed him, but he swore on oath that he did not do so. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww have accepted from you, but do not sit (repeat)’.

فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً أُذُنٌ أَخْبَرَهُ اللَّهُ أَنِّي أَنُمُّ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنْقُلُ أَخْبَارَهُ فَقَبِلَ‏

But he returned to his companions and he said, ‘Surely, Muhammadsaww is a hearer. Allahazwj Informed himsaww that I betrayed upon himsaww and transmitted hissaww Hadeeth, and hesaww accepted. And I informed himsaww and I did not do that, and hesaww accepted’.

Allahazwj Revealed unto Hisazwj Prophetsaww: ‘And from them are those who are hurting the Prophet and they are saying, ‘He is (only) a hearer’. Say: ‘A hearer of good for you all. He believes in Allah and has faith in the Momineen [9:61] - i.e., hesaww ratifies Allahazwj regarding whatever Heazwj is Saying to himsaww, and hesaww ratifies you all regarding whatever excuses you are presenting to himsaww regarding Al-Zihaar, and hesaww is not ratifying you in the esoteric’’.⁴⁹

Tafseer Al-Qummi - They are swearing by Allah that they did not say it, and they have said the word of Kufr, and they committed Kufr after their Islam [9:74]. He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding those who had sworn in the Kabah that they will not let this command (of Religion) return to the clan of Hashimasws, so it is the word of Kufr.

ثُمَّ قَعَدُوا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْعَقَبَةِ وَ هَمُّوا بِقَتْلِهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ هَمُّوا بِما لَمْ يَنالُوا

Then they said in wait for Rasool-Allahsaww in the Kaaba and plotted to kill himsaww, and it is Hisazwj Word: and they planned with what they could not attain [9:74].

ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْبُخَلَاءَ وَ سَمَّاهُمْ مُنَافِقِينَ وَ كَاذِبِينَ فَقَالَ‏ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ عاهَدَ اللَّهَ لَئِنْ آتانا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ بِما كانُوا يَكْذِبُونَ‏.

Then Heazwj Mentioned the misers and Named them as hypocrites and liars. Heazwj Said: And from them is one who vowed to Allah, ‘If He Gives us from His Grace, [9:75] – up to Hisazwj Words: and due to their lying [9:77]’’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: هُوَ ثَعْلَبَةُ بْنُ خَاطِبِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ كَانَ مُحْتَاجاً فَعَاهَدَ اللَّهَ فَلَمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ بَخِلَ بِهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ فَقَالَ‏ أَ لَمْ يَعْلَمُوا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّهُمْ وَ نَجْواهُمْ‏ الْآيَةَ

And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud, from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘It is Sa’albat Bin Hatib Bin Amro Bin Awf. He used to be a needy person, so he made a pact with Allahazwj. But when Allahazwj Gave him, he was stingy from it. Then the hypocrites are Mentioned: Are they not knowing that Allah Knows their secrets and their whisperings, [9:78] – the Verse.

وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ‏ الَّذِينَ يَلْمِزُونَ الْمُطَّوِّعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الصَّدَقاتِ وَ الَّذِينَ لا يَجِدُونَ إِلَّا جُهْدَهُمْ فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُمْ‏ فَجَاءَ سَالِمُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ بِصَاعٍ مِنْ تَمْرٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ لَيْلَتِي أَخْبِزُ لِجَرِيرٍ حَتَّى نِلْتُ صَاعَيْنِ تَمْراً أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَأَمْسَكْتُهُ وَ أَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَأَقْرَضْتُهُ رَبِّي

And as for Hisazwj Words: And heas said: ‘And as for Hisazwj Words: Those who are taunting the ones from the Momineen who give the charities willingly, and those who are not finding except for their efforts, so they are ridiculing them [9:79]. Saalim Bin Umeyr Al-Ansary came with a ‘Sa’a’ (a unit of measurement) of dates and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I worked for a wage last night until I got two ‘Sa’as’ of dates. As for one of them, so I have kept it, and as for the other, so I give it for (the Sake of) my Lordazwj’.

فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَنْثُرَهُ فِي الصَّدَقَاتِ فَسَخِرَ مِنْهُ الْمُنَافِقُونَ فَقَالُوا وَ اللَّهِ إِنْ كَانَ اللَّهُ يُغْنِي عَنْ هَذَا الصَّاعِ‏ مَا يَصْنَعُ اللَّهُ بِصَاعِهِ شَيْئاً وَ لَكِنَّ أَبَا عَقِيلٍ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَذْكُرَ نَفْسَهُ لِيُعْطَى مِنَ الصَّدَقَاتِ فَقَالَ‏ سَخِرَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ‏

Rasool-Allahsaww ordered for it to be distributed as charity, and the hypocrites from among them started mocking, and they said, ‘By Allahazwj! Allahazwj is Needless of this Sa’a (of dates). Allahazwj cannot do anything with his Sa’a!’ But Abu Aqeel wanted to remind himself to be given from the charities. So he said, Allah would Ridicule them, and for them would be a painful Punishment [9:79]’.

قَوْلُهُ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ‏ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَرِضَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أُبَيٍّ وَ كَانَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُؤْمِناً فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ وَ أَبُوهُ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي إِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تَأْتِ أَبِي‏ كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَاراً عَلَيْنَا

Hisazwj Words: Whether you seek Forgiveness for them or do not seek Forgiveness for them; even if you seek Forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never Forgive them; [9:80]. Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘It was Revealed when Rasool-Allahsaww returned to Al-Medina, and Abdullah Bin Ubay became ill and his son Abdullah Bin Abdullah was a Momin. So he came to Rasool-Allahsaww and his father was struggling with his soul. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww! If yousaww do not come to my father, that would be a shame upon us’.

فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ وَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ لَهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ أَ لَمْ يَنْهَكَ اللَّهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ أَوْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهُمْ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَيْلَكَ إِنِّي خُيِّرْتُ فَاخْتَرْتُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ‏ يَقُولُ‏ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ أَوْ لا تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ إِنْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَلَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ‏

Rasool-Allahsaww entered to see him and the hypocrites were in his presence. His son Abdullah Bin Abdullah said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Seek Forgiveness of Allahazwj for him’. Hesaww sought Forgiveness for him. Umar said, ‘Hasn’t Allahazwj Forbidden yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww, to pray upon them or seek Forgiveness for them?’ Rasool-Allahsaww turned away from him, and he re-iterated to himsaww. Hesaww said to him: ‘Woe be unto you! Isaww have a choice and Isaww have chosen. Allahazwj is Saying: ‘Whether you seek Forgiveness for them or do not seek Forgiveness for them; even if you seek Forgiveness for them seventy times, Allah will never Forgive them; [9:80].

فَلَمَّا مَاتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ جَاءَ ابْنُهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَحْضُرَ جَنَازَتَهُ فَحَضَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَامَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ لَمْ يَنْهَكَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ‏ عَلى‏ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ ماتَ أَبَداً وَ أَنْ تَقُومَ‏ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ

When Abdullah died, his son came to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! If yousaww could attend his funeral’. So, Rasool-Allahsaww attended and stood at his grave. Umar said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Hasn’t Allahazwj Forbidden yousaww from praying upon anyone of them who dies, ever, and from standing upon his grave?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَيْلَكَ وَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا قُلْتُ إِنَّمَا قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ احْشُ قَبْرَهُ نَاراً وَ جَوْفَهُ نَاراً وَ أَصْلِهِ النَّارَ فَبَدَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يُحِبُّ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Woe be unto you! And do you know what Isaww said? But rather Isaww said: ‘O Allahazwj Fill his grave with fire, and his interior with fire, and his origin with fire’’. Thus, it appeared from Rasool-Allahsaww what hesaww did not happen to like.

قَالَ وَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ النَّبِيُّ ص مِنْ تَبُوكَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُهُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَتَعَرَّضُونَ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ يُؤْذُونَهُمْ فَكَانُوا يَحْلِفُونَ لَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَ لَيْسَ‏ هُمْ بِمُنَافِقِينَ لِكَيْ يُعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ‏ وَ يَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ سَيَحْلِفُونَ بِاللَّهِ لَكُمْ إِذَا انْقَلَبْتُمْ إِلَيْهِمْ لِتُعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ فَأَعْرِضُوا عَنْهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ رِجْسٌ وَ مَأْواهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ جَزاءً بِما كانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ يَحْلِفُونَ لَكُمْ لِتَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنْ تَرْضَوْا عَنْهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَرْضى‏ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْفاسِقِينَ‏

He (the narrator) said, ‘And when the Prophetsaww arrived from Tabuk, hissaww Momineen companions were confronting the hypocrites and bothering them, and they were swearing to them that they are upon the Truth and that they weren’t hypocrites, lest they turn away from them, and be pleased from them. So Allahazwj Revealed: They will swear to you by Allah when you return to them so that you may turn aside from them; so do turn aside from them; surely they are unclean and their abode is Hell; a Recompense for what they earned [9:95] They will swear to you for you to be pleased from them. So even if you are pleased from them, Allah will not be Pleased from the mischief-making people [9:96].

ثُمَّ وَصَفَ الْأَعْرَابَ فَقَالَ‏ الْأَعْرابُ أَشَدُّ كُفْراً وَ نِفاقاً إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ‏.

Then Heazwj Described the Bedouins. Heazwj Said: ‘The Bedouins are more intense in Kufr and hypocrisy [9:97] – up to Hisazwj Words: surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [9:99]’’.⁵⁰

Tafseer Al Qummi – ‘My father, from Yahya Bin Imran, from Yunus, from Abu Al Tayyar who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘And others are waiting hopefully for the Command of Allah. [9:106]. ‘A group who used to be Polytheists, and they killed the likes of Hamzaasws, and Ja’farasws, and the likes of these twoasws from the Momineen, then they entered into Al-Islam. So, they acknowledged Allahazwj and left the Shirk (Polytheism) but did not recognise the Emān by their hearts. So they came to be from the Momineen for the Paradise to be Obligated for them.

وَ لَمْ يَكُونُوا عَلَى جُحُودِهِمْ فَيَجِبَ لَهُمُ النَّارُ فَهُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالَةِ مُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَ إِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ‏.

And they did not happen to be upon their rejection, so they were committing Kufr and the Fire would be Obligated for them. Thus, they were upon that, Either He would Punish them or He would Turn to them (Mercifully) [9:106]’’.⁵¹

Tafseer Al-Qummi - but the one who opens his chest with the Kufr, [16:106], it is Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh Bin Al-Haris from the clan of Luway. Allahazwj is Saying: so upon them is the Wrath from Allah, and for them is a grievous Punishment [16:106], that is because they loved the life of the world over the Hereafter and that Allahazwj does not Guide the unjust people, that is because Allahazwj Sealed upon their hearing, and their sight, and their hearts and they are from the heedless. There is no doubt they, in the Hereafter, would be from the losers.

That is how it is in the recitation of Ibn Masoud. All of this is regarding Abdullah Bin Sa’ad Bin Abu Sarh. He was an office bearer for Usman Bin Affan upon Egypt, and it was Revealed regarding him as well: or says, ‘It has been revealed unto me’, and nothing is Revealed to him, and the one who says, ‘I can Reveal similar to what Allah Revealed’; and if you could see the unjust one during the agonies of the death, [6:93]’’.⁵² (An Opinion)

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Hisazwj Words: And they are saying, ‘We believe in Allah and in the Rasool and we obey!’ – up to Hisazwj Words: and they are not with the Momineen [24:47]. It has been narrated to me by my father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘This Verse was revealed regarding Amir Al-Momineenasws and Usman. and that was when there was a dispute between them regarding a garden. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Are you happy with Rasool-Allahsaww (as a judge)?’ So Adul Rahman Bin Awf said to him, ‘I do not (accept) Rasool-Allahsaww as a judge for hesaww would judge against me, but I (accept) as a judge Ibn Shayba, the Jew.

فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لَا أَرْضَى إِلَّا بِابْنِ شَيْبَةَ الْيَهُودِيِّ فَقَالَ ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ لِعُثْمَانَ تَأْتَمِنُونَ‏ مُحَمَّداً عَلَى وَحْيِ السَّمَاءِ وَ تَتَّهِمُونَهُ فِي الْأَحْكَامِ

But Usman said to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘Iasws am not happy with Ibn Shayba. So Ibn Shayba said, ‘You are trusting that Revelation descends upon Rasool-Allahsaww from the sky, but you are not trusting himsaww in matters of judgement?’

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ‏ وَ إِذا دُعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ‏ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُمْ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ بَلْ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ‏.

Thus, Allahazwj Revealed upon Hisazwj Rasoolsaww: And when they are called to Allah and His Rasool for him to judge between them [24:48] But these, they are the unjust ones [24:50]’’.⁵³

Tafseer Al-Qummi - So when they seek your permission for some of their occupations, then give permission to ones you like to from them, [24:62]. He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding Hanzala Bin Abu Aamir, and that is that he got married during the night in which in the morning was the battle of Ohad. So, Rasool-Allahsaww permitted him to remain with his wife, and Allahazwj Revealed this Verse: then give permission to ones you like to from them, [24:62].

Tafseer Qummi - So, as for one who gives and fears [92:5] And ratifies the most excellent [92:6] So We will be Facilitating him to the ease [92:7], he said: ‘It was Revealed regarding a man from the Helpers who had a palm tree in the house of another man, and he used to enter it without permission. So he complained about that to the Rasool-Allahsaww, and Rasool-Allahsaww said to the owner of the palm tree: ‘Sell mesaww this palm tree of yours to me for a palm tree in the Paradise’. He said, ‘I will not do it’. Hesaww said: ‘Will you sell it to mesaww for a garden in the Paradise?’ He said, ‘I will not do it’.

Take it, and allocate for me the garden in the Paradise which yousaww said would be for this one, but he did not accept it’.

So We will be Facilitating him to the ease [92:7] And as for one who is stingy and (considers himself) needless [92:8] And belies the most excellent [92:9] So We will be Facilitating him to the difficulties [92:10] And his wealth will not avail him when he falls [92:11] – meaning when he dies.

‘I heard Al-Rezaasws saying regarding the interpretation of: And the night when it covers it, [91:4]. Heasws said: ‘A man from the Helpers, in his garden there was a palm tree for (another) man and was bothered by it. He complained of that to Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww called him and said: ‘Give mesaww your palm tree for a palm tree in the Paradise’. He refused.

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُكَنَّى أَبَا الدَّحْدَاحِ جَاءَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ النَّخْلَةِ فَقَالَ بِعْنِي نَخْلَتَكَ بِحَائِطِي فَبَاعَهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدِ اشْتَرَيْتُ نَخْلَةَ فُلَانٍ بِحَائِطِي

That reached the man from the Helpers, teknonymed as Abu Al-Dahaah. He came to the owner of the palm tree and said, ‘Sell me your palm tree for my (whole) garden’. He sold it to him. He came to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have bought the palm tree of so and so for my garden’.

Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed unto Hisazwj Prophetsaww: And what is Created of the male and the female [92:3] Surely, your striving is various [92:4] So, as for one who gives – meaning the palm tree, and fears [92:5] And ratifies the most excellent [92:6] – the promise of Rasool-Allahsaww, So We will be Facilitating him to the ease [92:7] . . . And his wealth will not avail him when he falls [92:11] Surely, upon Us is to Guide [92:12]’.

I said to himasws, ‘The Words of Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted: Surely, upon Us is to Guide [92:12]’. Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Guides the one Heazwj so Desires to and Lets stray the one Heazwj so Desires to’.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ قَوْماً مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الْمَعْرِفَةَ مُكْتَسَبَةٌ وَ أَنَّهُمْ إِذَا نَظَرُوا مِنْ‏ وَجْهِ النَّظَرِ أَدْرَكُوا

I said to himasws, ‘I said to himasws, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! There is a group from our companions who are thinking that the recognition, is acquired, and they are of the view that if they were to look from a particular perspective, they would realise?’

فَأَنْكَرَ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَ فَمَا لِهَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمِ لَا يَكْتَسِبُونَ الْخَيْرَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ هُوَ خَيْراً مِمَّنْ هُوَ مِنْهُ‏

But heasws denied that, and said: ‘What is it with these people that they are not acquiring the good for themselves? There isn’t anyone from the people except that he loves to become better than one who is already better than him.

هَؤُلَاءِ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ مَوْضِعُهُمْ مَوْضِعُهُمْ وَ قَرَابَتُهُمْ قَرَابَتُهُمْ وَ هُمْ أَحَقُّ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ أَ فَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَنْظُرُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفُوا

These, the clan of Hashimasws, their position is their position, and their relationship is their relationship, and they are more deserving of this command than you all. Can’t you see that they are looking at themselves, and you recognised and they did not recognise?’

He would say, ‘Wander wherever you like for you are in my vicinity’. So, no one would object to him.

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed, from Ali Bin Muhammad the scribe, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Zafrany, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad al Saqafy, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Al Abbas Bin Abdullah Al Anzy, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Aqwad Al Yashkury, from Awn Bin Ubeydullah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Abu Rafie who said,

‘I went to Rasool-Allahsaww one day and hesaww was sleeping and there was a snake by the side of the House (Kabah) and I disliked killing it and waking up the Prophetsaww. I thought that it would be Revealed unto himsaww, so I lied down between himsaww and the snake. I said (to myself), ‘If there is evil from it, it would be to me, besides himsaww’.

فَمَكَثْتُ هُنَيْهَةً فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ هُوَ يَقْرَأُ إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَتَمَّ لِعَلِيٍّ نِعْمَتَهُ وَ هَنِيئاً لَهُ بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي آتَاهُ

I stayed for a while and the Prophetsaww woke up and hesaww recited: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, [5:55], until hesaww came to the end of the Verse. Then hesaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Completed Hisazwj Favours for Aliasws, and congratulations to himasws for the Grace of Allahazwj which Heazwj has Given himasws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي مَا لَكَ هَاهُنَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِخَبَرِ الْحَيَّةِ فَقَالَ لِي اقْتُلْهَا فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا رَافِعٍ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَ قَوْمٌ يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلِيّاً وَ هُوَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَ هُمْ عَلَى الْبَاطِلِ جِهَادُهُمْ حَقٌّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ اسْمُهُ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ لَيْسَ وَرَاءَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ

Then hesaww said: ‘What is matter you are over here?’ I informed himsaww with the news of the snake. Hesaww said to me: ‘Kill it!’ I did so. Then hesaww said: ‘O Abu Rafie! How would it be with you and the people fighting against Aliasws, and heasws is upon the Truth and they are upon the falsehood. Fighting them is a Right of Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Name. So the one who is not able, then with his heart. There is nothing after it’.

فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُقَوِّيَنِي عَلَى قِتَالِهِمْ قَالَ فَدَعَا النَّبِيُّ ص وَ قَالَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ أَمِيناً وَ إِنَّ أَمِينِي أَبُو رَافِعٍ

I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Supplicate to Allahazwj for me that I come across them and Heazwj Strengthens me upon fighting them’. The Prophetsaww supplicated and said: ‘For every Prophetsaww there is a believer and mysaww believer is Abu Rafie’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا بَايَعَ النَّاسُ عَلِيّاً بَعْدَ عُثْمَانَ وَ سَارَ طَلْحَةُ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ ص فَبِعْتُ دَارِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَرْضاً لِي‏ بِخَيْبَرَ وَ خَرَجْتُ بِنَفْسِي وَ وُلْدِي مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لِأُسْتَشْهَدَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمْ أُدْرِكْ مَعَهُ‏ حَتَّى عَادَ مِنَ الْبَصْرَةِ وَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ إِلَى صِفِّينَ فَقَاتَلْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بِهَا وَ بِالنَّهْرَوَانِ أَيْضاً وَ لَمْ أَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى اسْتُشْهِدَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘When the people pledged allegiance to Aliasws after Usman and Talha and Zubeyr went, I remembered the words of the Prophetsaww. So, I sold my house in Al-Medina and my land at Khyber and went out myself and my children with Amir Al-Momineenasws in order to be martyred in front of himasws. But I did not come across himasws until heasws returned from Al-Basra, and I went out with himasws to Siffeen. I fought in front of himasws at it, and at Al-Nahrwan as well, and I did not cease to be with himasws until heasws was martyred.

فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ لَيْسَ لِي بِهَا دَارٌ وَ لَا أَرْضٌ فَأَعْطَانِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع أَرْضاً بِيَنْبُعَ وَ قَسَمَ لِي شَطْرَ دَارِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَنَزَلْتُهَا وَ عِيَالِي‏.

I returned to Al-Medina and there wasn’t a house for me at it nor any land, so Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws gave me land at Yanbu and apportioned for me a section of the house of Amir Al-Momineenasws, so I and my dependants dwelled in it’’.⁶³

‘I came to Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamani and said to him, ‘Narrate to me with what you heard from Rasool-Allahsaww and had seen himsaww doing it’. He said, ‘Upon you is to be with the Quran’. I said to him, ‘I have already read the Quran, and rather I came to you for you to narrate to me with what I have not narrated it and have not heard it from Rasool-Allahsaww. O Allahazwj! I keep Youazwj as Witness upon Huzeyfa that I came to him for him to narrate to me, for he has heard, and he concealed’.

He the narrator) said, ‘Huzeyfa said, ‘I have delivered it with the emphasis’. Then he said to me, ‘Take it, short (brief) from long (full) and total. For every matter of yours there is a Sign of the Paradise in this community. Heasws eats the food and walks in the markets’. I said to him, ‘Explain the Sign of the Paradise to me, and I will follow it, and Sign of the Fire and I will fear (stay away from) it’.

فَقَالَ لِي وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ حُذَيْفَةَ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ آيَةَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْهُدَاةَ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَأَئِمَّةُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّ آيَةَ النَّارِ وَ الدُّعَاةَ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَأَعْدَاؤُهُمْ‏.

He said to me, ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Huzeyfa. The Signs of the Paradise and the guides to it up to the Day of Qiyamah are the Imamsasws of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and the signs of the Fire and the callers to it up the Day of Qiyamah are theirasws enemies’’.⁶⁴

‘Al-Haris Bin Howt entered to see Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I do not see Talha and Al-Zubeyr and Ayesha sacrificing except upon the Truth’.

فَقَالَ يَا حَارِ إِنَّكَ نَظَرْتَ تَحْتَكَ‏ وَ لَمْ تَنْظُرْ فَوْقَكَ جُزْتَ عَنِ الْحَقِّ إِنَّ الْحَقَّ وَ الْبَاطِلَ لَا يُعْرَفَانِ بِالنَّاسِ وَ لَكِنِ اعْرِفِ الْحَقَّ بِاتِّبَاعِ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ الْبَاطِلَ بِاجْتِنَابِ مَنِ اجْتَنَبَهُ

Heasws said: ‘O Haris! You (if) you look beneath you and are not looking above you, you will be alarmed from the Truth. Surely, the Truth and the falsehood cannot be recognised through the people, but the Truth is recognised by the ones who follows it, and the falsehood by shunning of the one who shuns it’.

He said, ‘So, should I not become like Abdullah Bin Umar and Sa’ad Bin Malik (Bin Abu Waqas)?’ Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Abdullah Bin Umar and Sa’ad, both abandoned the Truth and did not help the falsehood. When were they two imams regarding the good so they should be followed?’’⁶⁵

I said, ‘Who is this one?’ The group said, ‘But you do not recognise him?’ I said, ‘No’. They said, ‘This is Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamani, companion of Rasool-Allahsaww’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I sat to him and the group discussed. He said, ‘The people were asking Rasool-Allahsaww about the good and I was asking himsaww about the evil’. The group dislike that upon him. He said, ‘I shall narrate to you with what you are disliking. The matter of Al-Islam came, so the matter didn’t come like the matter of the pre-Islamic period, I was give understanding from the Quran, and they were coming and asking the Prophetsaww.

I said, ‘I, O Rasool-Allahsaww, will this good become evil?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So what is the protection from it?’ Hesaww said:’ The sword’. I said, ‘So, what (shelter) remains after the sword?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, it will become an emirate upon the throne, and truce upon smoke’. I said, ‘What then?’ Hesaww said: ‘Then the shepherds of (callers to) the straying will spread. So if you were to see a just caliph in those days, then necessitate him or else die patiently at the base of a tree’’.⁶⁶

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Sadouq – ‘Ali Bin Al Husayn Bin Sufyan Bin Yaqoub, from Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Yusuf, from Ali Bin Barzaj, from Amro Bin Al Yas’a, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

‘From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiqasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww came and it was said to himsaww, ‘Sa’ad Bin Muaz has died’. Rasool-Allahsaww stood up and his companions stood up with himasws. Hesaww instructed with washing Sa’ad and hesaww was standing at the post of the door. When he had been embalmed and enshrouded and carried upon his coffin, Rasool-Allahsaww followed it without (wearing) shoes nor a cloak.

ثُمَّ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ يَمْنَةَ السَّرِيرِ مَرَّةً وَ يَسْرَةَ السَّرِيرِ مَرَّةً حَتَّى انْتَهَى بِهِ إِلَى الْقَبْرِ فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى لَحَدَهُ وَ سَوَّى عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنَ وَ جَعَلَ يَقُولُ نَاوِلُونِي حَجَراً نَاوِلُونِي تُرَاباً فَيَسُدُّ بِهِ مَا بَيْنَ اللَّبِنِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ فَرَغَ وَ حَثَا عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ وَ سَوَّى قَبْرَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ سَيَبْلَى وَ يَصِلُ الْبَلَاءُ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُحِبُّ عَبْداً إِذَا عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَحْكَمَهُ

Then hesaww was grabbing the right of the coffin at time and left of the coffin at times until hesaww ended up with him to the grave. Rasool-Allahsaww descended until hesaww laid him and evened the bricks upon him and went on to say: ‘Give me a rock and give mesaww soil’, and hesaww blocked what was between the bricks. When hesaww was free and had spread the soil upon him and evened his grave, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww don’t know he is being afflicted and the affliction will arrive to him, but Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Loves a servant when he does a deed, Judges him’.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ سَوَّى التُّرْبَةَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ مِنْ جَانِبٍ يَا سَعْدُ هَنِيئاً لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أُمَّ سَعْدٍ مَهْ لَا تَجْزِمِي عَلَى رَبِّكِ فَإِنَّ سَعْداً قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَمَّةٌ

When hesaww had evened the soil upon him, the mother of Sa’ad said from the side, ‘O Sa’ad! Congratulations to you’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O mother of Sa’ad! Shh! Do not assert upon your Lordazwj, for the squeezing has hit Sa’ad’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww returned and the people returned. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! We have seen yousaww doing upon Sa’ad what yousaww did not do upon anyone. Yousaww followed hissaww funeral without shoes nor cloak’. Hesaww said: ‘The Angels were without cloaks nor shoes, so Isaww was comforted with it’.

قَالُوا وَ كُنْتَ تَأْخُذُ يَمْنَةَ السَّرِيرِ وَ يَسْرَتَهُ‏ قَالَ كَانَتْ يَدِي فِي يَدِ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع آخُذُ حَيْثُ يَأْخُذُ

They said, ‘And yousaww were taking the right of the coffin, and its left’. Hesaww said: ‘Mysaww hand was in the hand of Jibraeelas. Isaww grabbed wherever heas grabbed’.

‘I asked Abu Abdullah Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws about the age of our grandfather Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws.

Theyasws were met by Jabir Bin Abdullah and Anas Bin Malik, the two Helpers, among a group of Quraysh and the Helpers. Jabir Bin Abdullah could not control himself until he devoted upon theirasws hands and theirasws legs, kissing them. A man from Quraysh who was a relative of Marwan said to him, ‘You are doing this, O Abu Abdullah, in your age, and with your position from companionship of Rasool-Allahsaww?’

وَ كَانَ جَابِرٌ قَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْراً فَقَالَ لَهُ إِلَيْكَ عَنِّي فَلَوْ عَلِمْتَ يَا أَخَا قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ فَضْلِهِمَا وَ مَكَانِهِمَا مَا أَعْلَمُ لَقَبَّلْتَ مَا تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِهِمَا مِنَ التُّرَابِ

And Jabir had attended Badr. He said to him, ‘To you from me, if only you knew, O Qureishite brother, of both theirasws positions what I know, you would have kissed the dust from under theirasws feet’.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ جَابِرٌ عَلَى أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا بَا حَمْزَةَ أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِيهِمَا بِأَمْرٍ مَا ظَنَنْتُهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ‏ فِي بَشَرٍ قَالَ لَهُ أَنَسٌ وَ مَا الَّذِي أَخْبَرَكَ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

Then Jabir faced towards Anas Bin Malik, ‘O Abu Hamza! Rasool-Allahsaww informed me regarding themasws with a matter, I don’t think that it would happen to be in any mortal’. Anas said to him, ‘And what is that which hesaww informed you, O Abu Abdullah?’

قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ فَانْطَلَقَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع وَ وَقَفْتُ أَنَا أَسْمَعُ مُحَاوَرَةَ الْقَوْمِ فَأَنْشَأَ جَابِرٌ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ قَدْ خَفَّ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ إِذْ قَالَ لِي يَا جَابِرُ ادْعُ لِي ابْنَيَّ حَسَناً وَ حُسَيْناً وَ كَانَ ص شَدِيدَ الْكَلَفِ بِهِمَا

Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws went and Iasws paused to listen to the dialogue of the group. Jabir started narrating, he said, ‘One day while Rasool-Allahsaww was in the Masjid, and the ones around himsaww had become less, hesaww said to me: ‘O Jabir! Call mysaww two sonsasws Hassanasws and Husaynasws for mesaww’, and hesaww used to be of intense love for themasws.

فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَدَعَوْتُهُمَا وَ أَقْبَلْتُ أَحْمِلُ هَذَا مَرَّةً وَ هَذَا مَرَّةً حَتَّى جِئْتُهُ بِهِمَا فَقَالَ لِي وَ أَنَا أَعْرِفُ السُّرُورَ فِي وَجْهِهِ لِمَا رَأَى مِنْ حُنُوِّي عَلَيْهِمَا وَ تَكْرِيمِي إِيَّاهُمَا أَ تُحِبُّهُمَا يَا جَابِرُ قُلْتُ وَ مَا يَمْنَعُنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مَكَانُهُمَا مِنْكَ مَكَانُهُمَا

I went and called them and came back carrying this oneasws at times, and this oneasws at times, until I ended up with themasws to himsaww. Hesaww said to me and I recognised the cheerfulness in hissaww face when hesaww had seen of my affection upon themasws and my honouring themasws: ‘Do you love themasws, O Jabir?’ I said, ‘And what would prevent me from that, may my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww, and theirasws position from yousaww is theirasws position?’

قَالَ أَ فَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ عَنْ فَضْلِهِمَا قُلْتُ بَلَى بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَنِي خَلَقَنِي نُطْفَةً بَيْضَاءَ طَيِّبَةً فَأَوْدَعَهَا صُلْبَ أَبِي آدَمَ ع فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَنْقُلُهَا مِنْ صُلْبٍ طَاهِرٍ إِلَى رَحِمٍ طَاهِرٍ إِلَى نُوحٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع ثُمَّ كَذَلِكَ إِلَى عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ

Hesaww said: ‘Shall Isaww inform you of theirasws merits?’ I said, ‘Yes, may my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for youasws’. Hesaww said: ‘When Allahazwj the Exalted Wanted to Create mesaww, Created mesaww as a white seed of lay and Deposited in the Sulb of mysaww fatheras Adamas, and Isaww did not cease to be transferred from a clean Sulb to a clean womb, to Noahas and Ibrahimas, then like that to Abdul Muttalibasws.

فَلَمْ يُصِبْنِي مِنْ دَنَسِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ ثُمَّ افْتَرَقَتْ تِلْكَ النُّطْفَةُ شَطْرَيْنِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَوَلَدَنِي أَبِي فَخَتَمَ اللَّهُ بِيَ النُّبُوَّةَ وَ وُلِدَ عَلِيٌّ فَخُتِمَتْ بِهِ الْوَصِيَّةُ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعَتِ النُّطْفَتَانِ مِنِّي وَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ فَوَلَّدَتَا الْجُهْرَ وَ الْجَهِيرَ الْحَسَنَانِ فَخَتَمَ اللَّهُ بِهِمَا أَسْبَاطَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ جَعَلَ ذُرِّيَّتِي مِنْهُمَا

Thus, nothing from the filth of the pre-Islamic period touched mesaww. Then that seed separated into two parts, to Abdullahasws and Abu Talibasws. Mysaww fatheras begot mesaww and Allahazwj Ended the Prophet-hood with mesaww, and Aliasws was begotten and the successorship was ended with himasws. Then the two seeds gathered, from mesaww and from Aliasws, and ‘Al Jahr’ and ‘Al Jaheyr’ the two Hassan’s were begotten, and Allahazwj Ended the tribes of the Prophet-hood with themasws, and Made mysaww offspring to be from themasws.

‘The (news of) appearance of the Prophetsaww came and I was in a great kingdom and obedience from my people, but I rejected that and preferred Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and arrive to Rasool-Allahsaww. Hissaww companions informed me that hesaww had already given them the good news of my arrival by three (days before).

Hesaww said: ‘This Wa’il Bin Hujr has come to you from a distant land, from Hazramaut, being desirous regarding Al-Islam, willingly. He is a remaining one of the sons of the kings’. I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww!

(The book) ‘Qasas Al-Anbiya’ – From Ibn Abbas who said, ‘While Rasool-Allahsaww was seated in the courtyard of hissaww house at Makkah when Usman Bin Mazoun passed by. He sat down and Rasool-Allahsaww narrated to him, when hesaww widened hissaww sight towards the sky. Hesaww looked for a while, then turned away. Usman said, ‘Yousaww neglected me and lowered yoursaww head as if yousaww were bothered by something’.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘And you discerned that?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Jibraeelas came to mesaww’. Usman said, ‘So what did heas say?’ Hesaww said: ‘Heas said: Surely Allah Commands with the justice, and the kindness, and giving to the near of kin, and Forbids from the immoralities, and the evil, and the tyranny. [16:90]’.

قَالَ‏ عُثْمَانُ فَأَحْبَبْتُ مُحَمَّداً وَ اسْتَقَرَّ الْإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِي.

Usman said, ‘So, I loved Muhammadsaww and the Eman settled in my heart’’.⁷⁹

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that Abu Al-Darda’a used to worship idols during the pre-Islamic period, and that Abdullah Bin Rawaha and Muhammad Bin Muslims were both awaiting Abu Al-Darda’a being alone. He was absent, and they both entered his house and broke his idol. When he returned, he said to his wife, ‘Who did this?’ She said, ‘I don’t know. I heard a sound and I came and they had already gone out’.

ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لَوْ كَانَ الصَّنَمُ يَدْفَعُ لَدَفَعَ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ أَعْطِينِي حُلَّتِي فَلَبِسَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص هَذَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يَجِي‏ءُ وَ يُسْلِمُ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَاءَ وَ أَسْلَمَ.

Then she said, ‘If the idol could defend, it would defend itself’. He said, ‘Give me my garment’. He wore it. The Prophetsaww said: ‘This is Abu Al-Darda’a coming and he has become a Muslim’. And there he was, coming, and he became a Muslim’’.⁸⁰

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – ‘It is reported that Abdullah Bin Al-Zubeyr said, ‘The Prophetsaww got cupping done, so I took the blood to spill it. When hesaww was recuperating when I returned, hesaww said: ‘What did you do?’ I said, ‘I made it to be in a concealed place’. Hesaww said: ‘Your mouth drank the blood’. Then hesaww said: ‘Woe be to the people from you and woe be to you from the people’’.⁸¹

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Al-Aqaby related that Abu Ayoub Al-Ansary was shown the gulf of Constantinople. He was asked about his need. He said, ‘As for your world, there is no need for me regarding it, but if I die, then send me forward whatever you can in the country of the enemies for I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘A righteous man from mysaww companion would be buried by a bridge in Constantinople, and I have desired that I should be him’.

Then he died, and they were fighting and the coffin was being carried and taken forward. They sent a message to Caesar regarding that and they said, ‘A companion of our Prophetsaww had asked us to bury him in your country and we are implementing his bequest’. He said, ‘Since you are in charge, then bring him out to the dogs’.

They said, ‘If we were to exhume him from his grave, no Christian would be left in the Arab lands except he would be killed, nor any church except it would be demolished’. So he built a dome upon his grave, a lamp being lighted in it up to today, and his grave up to now is being visited by the bridge in Constantinople’’.⁸³

Hesaww said: ‘They would be coming on the Day of Qiyamah to Aliasws with a lot of people, more than the (clans of) Rabie and Muzar in number of each of them. They will be saying, ‘O brotherasws of Rasoolsaww! Our love is by love of Muhammadsaww Rasool-Allahsaww and by yourasws love’. So Aliasws would write a permit for them to cross over the Bridge, and they will be crossing over it and arriving at the Paradise safely’’.⁸⁵

88- طا، أمان الأخطار رَأَيْنَا وَ رُوِّينَا مِنْ بَعْضِ تَوَارِيخِ أَسْفَارِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَصَدَ قَوْماً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ قَبْلَ دُخُولِهِمْ فِي الذِّمَّةِ فَظَفِرَ مِنْهُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ قَرِيبَةِ الْعُرْسِ بِزَوْجِهَا وَ عَادَ مِنْ سَفَرِهِ فَبَاتَ فِي طَرِيقِهِ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ وَ عَبَّادِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ أَنْ يَحْرُسَاهُ

(The book) ‘Amaan’ of Al-Akhtaar – ‘We saw and reported from one of the histories of the journeys of the Prophetsaww that hesaww aimed for a group from the people of the Book before their entry into the responsibility. Hesaww triumphed from them with a woman, a relative of the bride of her husband, and hesaww returned from hissaww journey. Hesaww spent the night in hissaww way and indicated to Ammar bin Yassser and Abbad Bin Bishr to guard himsaww.

فَاقْتَسَمَا اللَّيْلَةَ قِسْماً وَ كَانَ لِعَبَّادِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ النِّصْفُ الْأَوَّلُ وَ لِعَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ النِّصْفُ الثَّانِي فَنَامَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَ قَامَ عَبَّادُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ يُصَلِّي وَ قَدْ تَبِعَهُمُ الْيَهُودِيُّ يَطْلُبُ‏ امْرَأَتَهُ أَوْ يَغْتَنِمُ إِهْمَالًا مِنَ التَّحَفُّظِ فَيَفْتِكُ بِالنَّبِيِّ ص فَنَظَرَ الْيَهُودِيُّ عَبَّادَ بْنَ‏ بِشْرٍ يُصَلِّي فِي مَوْضِعِ الْعُبُورِ فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ فِي ظَلَامِ اللَّيْلِ هَلْ هُوَ شَجَرَةٌ أَوْ أَكَمَةٌ أَوْ دَابَّةٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ

The divided the night into portions and for Abbad Bin Bishr was the first half and for Ammar Bin Yasser was the second half. Ammar Bin Yasser slept and Abbad Bin Bishr stood to pray Salat, and the Jew had pursued them seeking his wife, or to take advantage of any negligence in the protection and assassinate the Prophetsaww.

The Jew looked at Abbad bin Bishr praying Salat in the place of the transit, but he did not know in the darkness of the night whether he was a tree, or a mound or an animal or a human being.

فَرَمَاهُ بِسَهْمٍ فَأَثْبَتَهُ فِيهِ فَلَمْ يَقْطَعِ الصَّلَاةَ فَرَمَاهُ بِآخَرَ فَخَفَّفَ الصَّلَاةَ وَ أَيْقَظَ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ فَرَأَى السِّهَامَ فِي جَسَدِهِ فَعَاتَبَهُ وَ قَالَ هَلَّا أَيْقَظْتَنِي فِي أَوَّلِ سَهْمٍ فَقَالَ قَدْ كُنْتُ قَدْ بَدَأْتُ فِي سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ‏ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقْطَعَهَا وَ لَوْ لَا خَوْفِي أَنْ يَأْتِيَ الْعَدُوُّ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ يَصِلَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَكُونَ قَدْ ضَيَّعْتُ ثَغْراً مِنْ ثُغُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمَا خَفَّفْتُ مِنْ صَلَاتِي وَ لَوْ أَتَى عَلَى نَفْسِي فَدَفَعَا الْعَدُوَّ عَمَّا أَرَادَهُ.

He shot at him with an arrow and it lodged in him, but he did not terminate the Salat. Then he shot at him with another, so he lightened the Salat and Ammar Bin Yasser woke up and he saw the two arrows in his body, so he blamed him and said, ‘Why didn’t you wake me up during the first arrow?’ He said, ‘I had begun in Surah Al-Kahf and I disliked to cut it, and had it not been for the fear that the enemy might come over myself and arrive to Rasool-Allahsaww, and I would have wasted a gap from the gaps of the Muslims, I would not have even lightened from my Salat, and even if he had come upon myself’. They both repelled the enemy from what he had intended’’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ قَدْ ذَكَرَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْحَافِظُ فِي الْجُزْءِ الثَّانِي مِنْ كِتَابِ حِلْيَةِ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي رَيْحَانَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي غَزْوَةٍ قَالَ فَأَوَيْنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى شَرَفٍ‏ فَأَصَابَنَا فِيهِ بَرْدٌ شَدِيدٌ حَتَّى رَأَيْتُ الرِّجَالَ يَحْفِرُ أَحَدُهُمُ الْحَفِيرَةَ فَيَدْخُلُ فِيهَا وَ يَكْفَأُ عَلَيْهِ بِحَجَفَتِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ مَنْ يَحْرُسُنَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فَأَدْعُوَ لَهُ بِدُعَاءٍ يُصِيبُ بِهِ فَضْلُهُ

Then he said, ‘And Abu Nueym Al-Hafiz has mentioned in the second volume of the book ‘Hilyat Al-Awliya’, in a Hadeeth of Abu Rayhana that he was with Rasool-Allahsaww in a military expedition. He said, ‘One night we too shelter in a high place and severe cold hit us until I was the men digging a hole and entering into it, and covering upon it with the stones. When hesaww saw that from them, hesaww said: ‘Who will guard us during this night, and Isaww shall supplicate for him with a supplication, he will achieve merit by it’.

فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَأَخَذَ بِبَعْضِ ثِيَابِهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَفْتَحَ بِدُعَاءٍ لَهُ

A man stood up and said, ‘I will, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘So and so son of so and so the Helper’. Hesaww said: ‘Come near mesaww’. He went near himsaww. Then hesaww grabbed a part of his clothes then began supplicating for him.

قَالَ أَبُو رَيْحَانَةَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْتُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا رَجُلٌ فَسَأَلَنِي كَمَا سَأَلَهُ فَقَالَ ادْنُ كَمَا قَالَ لَهُ وَ دَعَا بِدُعَاءٍ دُونَ مَا دَعَا بِهِ لِلْأَنْصَارِيِّ ثُمَّ قَالَ حَرُمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ سَهِرَتْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ حَرُمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ دَمَعَتْ مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ

Abu Rayhana said, ‘When I hear what Rasool-Allahsaww had supplicated with for the Helper, I stood up and said, ‘I am a man, so ask me like what yousaww had asked him’. Hesaww said: ‘Approach’, just as hesaww had said to him, and supplicated with a supplication other than what hesaww supplicated with for the Helper, then said: ‘The Fire is forbidden upon an eye staying awake in the Way of Allahazwj, and the Fire is forbidden upon an eye shedding tears from fearing Allahazwj’.

وَ قَالَ الثَّالِثَةَ أَنْسَيْتُهَا قَالَ أَبُو شُرَيْحٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ حَرُمَتِ النَّارُ عَلَى عَيْنٍ قَدْ غُضَّتْ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ‏.

And he (the narrator) said, ‘The third, I have forgotten it’. Abu Shureyh said after that, ‘The Fire is forbidden upon an eye which had been closed from the Prohibitions of Allahazwj’’.⁸⁹

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiya, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws when a man sought permission to see himasws. Heasws permitted him and he came over to himasws, and greeted himasws. Abu Ja’farasws welcomed him and went near to him and asked about him. So the man said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! I addressed to so and so friend of yoursasws, son of Abu Raf’a about his so and so daughter, but he rejected me and turned away from me, and showed disdain for me due to my physical ugliness, and my destitution, and my poverty, and due to that there has entered into me a derogatory attack upon my heart that I am coveting the death as a result’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع اذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ رَسُولِي إِلَيْهِ وَ قُلْ لَهُ يَقُولُ لَكَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع زَوِّجْ منحجَ [مُنْجِحَ‏] بْنَ رَبَاحٍ مَوْلَايَ ابْنَتَكَ فُلَانَةَ وَ لَا تَرُدَّهُ قَالَ أَبُو حَمْزَةَ فَوَثَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَرِحاً مُسْرِعاً بِرِسَالَةِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Go, for you are myasws messenger to him, and say to him, ‘Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws Bin Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is saying to you: ‘Marry your so and so daughter to Munjih Bin Rabah, myasws friend, and do not reject him’. Abu Hamza said, ‘So the man leapt up in joy, delighted with the message of Abu Ja’farasws’.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ تَوَارَى الرَّجُلُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَامَةِ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مُنْتَجِعاً لِلْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمَ وَ حَسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُ وَ كَانَ رَجُلًا قَصِيراً دَمِيماً مُحْتَاجاً عَارِياً وَ كَانَ مِنْ قِبَاحِ السُّودَانِ فَضَمَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِحَالِ غُرْبَتِهِ وَ عُرَاهُ‏ وَ كَانَ يُجْرِي عَلَيْهِ طَعَامَهُ صَاعاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ بِالصَّاعِ الْأَوَّلِ وَ كَسَاهُ شَمْلَتَيْنِ وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَلْزَمَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ يَرْقُدَ فِيهِ بِاللَّيْلِ

When the man went out of sight, Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘There was a man from the people of Al-Yamama called Juweybir, who came seeking success from Al-Islam. He became a Muslim and his Islam was good, and he was a short ugly man, needy, of scarce clothing, and he was from the ugly ones of Sudan. Rasool-Allahsaww undertook his responsibility due to his poor state, and his nakedness, and would give him food, a Sa’a (four handfuls) of dates with the first Sa’a (of dates available), and clothed him with two garments, and instructed him that he should stay in the Masjid, and lie down there at night.

فَمَكَثَ بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى كَثُرَ الْغُرَبَاءُ مِمَّنْ يَدْخُلُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَاجَةِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ ضَاقَ بِهِمُ الْمَسْجِدُ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى نَبِيِّهِ ص أَنْ طَهِّرْ مَسْجِدَكَ وَ أَخْرِجْ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ مَنْ يَرْقُدُ فِيهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ مُرْ بِسَدِّ أَبْوَابِ كُلِّ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ فِي مَسْجِدِكَ بَابٌ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مَسْكَنَ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ لَا يَمُرَّنَّ فِيهِ جُنُبٌ وَ لَا يَرْقُدْ فِيهِ غَرِيبٌ

So he remained like that for as long as Allahazwj so Desired, until the strangers were many, from the ones who entered into Al-Islam from the needy people in Al-Medina, and the Masjid was constrained by them. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Hisazwj Prophetsaww that hesaww should purify the Masjid and exit from the Masjid the ones who were lying there at night, and Commanded with the closure of the doors of the one who had such a door for him in hissaww Masjid except for the door of Aliasws, and the dwelling of (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and to (ensure that no) one of sexual impurities should neither pass by in it, nor a stranger to lie down in it.

قَالَ فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِسَدِّ أَبْوَابِهِمْ إِلَّا بَابَ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ أَقَرَّ مَسْكَنَ فَاطِمَةَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا عَلَى حَالِهِ قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَمَرَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ سَقِيفَةٌ فَعُمِلَتْ لَهُمْ وَ هِيَ الصُّفَّةُ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْغُرَبَاءَ وَ الْمَسَاكِينَ أَنْ يَظَلُّوا فِيهَا نَهَارَهُمْ وَ لَيْلَهُمْ فَنَزَلُوهَا وَ اجْتَمَعُوا فِيهَا

Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww ordered for the closure of their doors except for the door of Aliasws, and agreed for the door of the dwelling of (Syeda) Fatimaasws to be upon its state (open). Then Rasool-Allahsaww ordered that a pavilion be set up for the Muslims, so it was set up for them, and it is the platform. Then hesaww ordered for the strangers, and the poor that they should shade themselves therein during their days and their nights. So they lodged in it and gathered therein.

فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَتَعَاهَدُهُمْ بِالْبُرِّ وَ التَّمْرِ وَ الشَّعِيرِ وَ الزَّبِيبِ إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ وَ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يَتَعَاهَدُونَهُمْ وَ يَرِقُّونَهُمْ‏ لِرِقَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَصْرِفُونَ صَدَقَاتِهِمْ إِلَيْهِمْ

Rasool-Allahsaww was gifting them with the wheat, and the dates, and the barley, and the raisins, whenever these were with himsaww, and the Muslims were (also) gifting them and were being kind to them due to the kindness of Rasool-Allahsaww and were spending their charities upon them.

فَإِنَ‏ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص نَظَرَ إِلَى جُوَيْبِرٍ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ لَهُ وَ رِقَّةٍ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ لَوْ تَزَوَّجْتَ امْرَأَةً فَعَفَفْتَ بِهَا فَرْجَكَ وَ أَعَانَتْكَ عَلَى دُنْيَاكَ وَ آخِرَتِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي مَنْ يَرْغَبُ فِيَّ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ حَسَبٍ وَ لَا نَسَبٍ وَ لَا مَالٍ وَ لَا جَمَالٍ فَأَيَّةُ امْرَأَةٍ تَرْغَبُ فِيَّ

One day Rasool-Allahsaww looked at Juweybir with mercy from himsaww for him, and kindness upon him, so hesaww said to him: ‘O Juweybir! If only you would marry a woman, so you would protect your chastity by her and she would support you upon your world and your Hereafter’. Juweybir said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! May my father and my mother be sacrificed for yousaww! Who would desire me, for by Allahazwj, I am neither with a lineage, nor from a nobility, nor wealth, nor beauty, so which woman would desire me?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا جُوَيْبِرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَضَعَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ شَرِيفاً وَ شَرَّفَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَضِيعاً وَ أَعَزَّ بِالْإِسْلَامِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ذَلِيلًا وَ أَذْهَبَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ نَخْوَةِ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَ تَفَاخُرِهَا بِعَشَائِرِهَا وَ بَاسِقِ أَنْسَابِهَا

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘O Juweybir! Allahazwj has Placed nobility by Al-Islam upon the one who was noble during the pre-Islamic period, and enrobed by Al-Islam the one who was ignoble, and Honoured by Al-Islam the one who disgraced during the pre-Islamic period, and Removed by Al-Islam was what from the haughtiness of the pre-Islamic period and its pride with their clans, and loftiness with their lineages.

فَالنَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ كُلُّهُمْ أَبْيَضُهُمْ وَ أَسْوَدُهُمْ وَ قُرَشِيُّهُمْ وَ عَرَبِيُّهُمْ وَ عَجَمِيُّهُمْ مِنْ آدَمَ وَ إِنَّ آدَمَ ع خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ طِينٍ وَ إِنَّ أَحَبَّ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَطْوَعُهُمْ لَهُ وَ أَتْقَاهُمْ وَ مَا أَعْلَمُ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ فَضْلًا إِلَّا لِمَنْ كَانَ أَتْقَى لِلَّهِ مِنْكَ وَ أَطْوَعَ

Thus, the people today, their white ones, and their black ones, and their Quraysh ones, and their Arab ones, and their non-Arab ones, are all from Adamas, and that Adamas, Allahazwj Created himas from clay, and that the most Beloved of people to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Judgement would be their most obedient ones, and their most pious ones, and Isaww do not know, O Juweybir, of anyone from the Muslims today to have preference over you except for the one who was more pious than you, and more obedient (to Allahazwj)’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ انْطَلِقْ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ إِلَى زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ أَشْرَفِ بَنِي بَيَاضَةَ حَسَباً فِيهِمْ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ‏ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الدَّلْفَاءَ

Then hesaww said to him: ‘Go, O Juweybir, to Ziyad Bin Labeyd, for he is from the most noble ones of the clan of Bayza among them, and say to him, ‘I am a messenger of Rasool-Allahsaww to you, and hesaww is saying to you: ‘Marry your daughter Zulfa to Juweybir’.

قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ جُوَيْبِرٌ بِرِسَالَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى زِيَادِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ وَ هُوَ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ عِنْدَهُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأُعْلِمَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا زِيَادَ بْنَ لَبِيدٍ إِنِّي رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَيْكَ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَأَبُوحُ بِهَا أَمْ أُسِرُّهَا إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ بَلْ بُحْ بِهَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ شَرَفٌ لِي وَ فَخْرٌ

Heasws said: ‘Juweybir went with the message of Rasool-Allahsaww to Ziyad Bin Labeyd, and he was in his house and there was a group of his people in his presence. He sought permission, and he was granted permission to see him. He entered and greeted him, then said, ‘O Ziyad Bin Labeyd! I am a messenger of Rasool-Allahsaww to you, regarding a need of mine, so either I announce with it or I divulge it to you in privacy’. Ziyad said to him, ‘But, announce it, for that is more honourable for me and a matter of pride’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ لَكَ زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الدَّلْفَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ أَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَرْسَلَكَ إِلَيَّ بِهَذَا يَا جُوَيْبِرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَكْذِبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ إِنَّا لَا نُزَوِّجُ فَتَيَاتِنَا إِلَّا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَانْصَرِفْ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ حَتَّى أَلْقَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَأُخْبِرَهُ بِعُذْرِي

Juweybir said to him, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is saying to you: ‘Marry your daughter Zulfa to Juweybir’. So Ziyad said to him, ‘Did Rasool-Allahsaww send you to me with this?’ So he said to him, ‘Yes. I am not one to lie upon Rasool-Allahsaww’. So Ziyad said to him, ‘We do not marry (our daughters to) our youths except if they are a match from the Helpers, therefore leave, O Juweybir, until I meet up with Rasool-Allahsaww, and I inform him of my excuse’.

فَانْصَرَفَ جُوَيْبِرٌ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا بِهَذَا أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ‏ وَ لَا بِهَذَا ظَهَرَتْ نُبُوَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَسَمِعَتْ مَقَالَتَهُ الدَّلْفَاءُ بِنْتُ زِيَادٍ وَ هِيَ فِي خِدْرِهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِيهَا ادْخُلْ إِلَيَّ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَتْ مَا هَذَا الْكَلَامُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْكَ تُحَاوِرُ بِهِ جُوَيْبِراً فَقَالَ لَهَا ذَكَرَ لِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَرْسَلَهُ وَ قَالَ يَقُولُ لَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الدَّلْفَاءَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ جُوَيْبِرٌ لِيَكْذِبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِحَضْرَتِهِ فَابْعَثِ الْآنَ رَسُولًا يَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ جُوَيْبِراً

Juweybir left and he was saying, ‘By Allahazwj! Neither was the Quran Revealed with this, nor by this did the Prophet-hood of Muhammadsaww appear’. Zulfa daughter of Ziyad heard his words and she was behind her curtain. She sent for her father to come over to her. He went over to her, and she said to him, ‘What is this speech which I heard from you agitating Juweybir with it?’ He said to her, ‘He mentioned to me that Rasool-Allahsaww had sent him and he said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is saying to you: ‘Marry your daughter Zulfa to Juweybir’. She said to him, ‘By Allahazwj! It is not for Juweybir that he would lie upon Rasool-Allahsaww in hissaww presence, so send a messenger right now to return Juweybir back to you’.

فَبَعَثَ زِيَادٌ رَسُولًا فَلَحِقَ جُوَيْبِراً فَقَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ يَا جُوَيْبِرُ مَرْحَباً بِكَ اطْمَئِنَّ حَتَّى أَعُودَ إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ زِيَادٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي إِنَّ جُوَيْبِراً أَتَانِي بِرِسَالَتِكَ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ زَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً ابْنَتَكَ الدَّلْفَاءَ فَلَمْ أَلِنْ لَهُ فِي الْقَوْلِ وَ رَأَيْتُ لِقَاءَكَ وَ نَحْنُ لَا نُزَوِّجُ إِلَّا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ

Ziyad sent a messenger who met up with Juweybir, and Ziyad said to him, ‘O Juweybir! Welcome to you. Rest assured until I return to you’. Then Ziyad went to Rasool-Allahsaww and said to himsaww, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for yousaww! Juweybir came over to me with yoursaww message and said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is saying to you: ‘Marry your daughter Zulfa to Juweybir’. So I was not soft to him with the words, and I view that I should meet up with yousaww, and we do not tend to marry except for our peers from the Helpers’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا زِيَادُ جُوَيْبِرٌ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ كُفْوٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنَةِ وَ الْمُسْلِمُ كُفْوٌ لِلْمُسْلِمَةِ فَزَوِّجْهُ يَا زِيَادُ وَ لَا تَرْغَبْ عَنْهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘O Ziyad! Juweybir is a Momin, and the Momin is a match for the Momina, and the Muslim man is a match for the Muslim woman, therefore marry (your daughter to him) O Ziyad, and do not turn away from him’.

قَالَ فَرَجَعَ زِيَادٌ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ دَخَلَ عَلَى ابْنَتِهِ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ لَهُ إِنَّكَ إِنْ عَصَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَفَرْتَ فَزَوِّجْ جُوَيْبِراً فَخَرَجَ زِيَادٌ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ جُوَيْبِرٍ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ فَزَوَّجَهُ عَلَى سُنَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِهِ‏ وَ ضَمِنَ صَدَاقَهَا

Heasws said: ‘Ziyad returned to his house and went over to his daughter and told her what he had heard from Rasool-Allahsaww. So she said to him, ‘If you were to disobey Rasool-Allahsaww, you would be a disbeliever, therefore, get me to be married to Juweybir’. Ziyad went out and grabbed a hand of Juweybir, then brought him out to his people, and got him married upon a Sunnah of Allahazwj and a Sunnah of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and guaranteed her dowry.

قَالَ فَجَهَّزَهَا زِيَادٌ وَ هَيَّأَهَا ثُمَّ أَرْسَلُوا إِلَى جُوَيْبِرٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَ لَكَ مَنْزِلٌ فَنَسُوقَهَا إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي مِنْ مَنْزِلٍ قَالَ فَهَيَّئُوهَا وَ هَيَّئُوا لَهَا مَنْزِلًا وَ هَيَّئُوا فِيهِ فِرَاشاً وَ مَتَاعاً وَ كَسَوْا جُوَيْبِراً ثَوْبَيْنِ وَ أُدْخِلَتِ الدَّلْفَاءُ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ أُدْخِلَ جُوَيْبِرٌ عَلَيْهَا مُعَتِّماً فَلَمَّا رَآهَا نَظَرَ إِلَى بَيْتٍ وَ مَتَاعٍ وَ رِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ قَامَ إِلَى زَاوِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ رَاكِعاً وَ سَاجِداً حَتَّى طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ

Ziyad got her ready and adorned her, then sent a message to Juweybir and said to him, ‘Is there a house for you, so we can escort her to you?’ He said, ‘By Allahazwj! There is no house for me’. Heasws said: ‘So they prepared for her and furnished a house for her, and prepared a bed therein, and chattels, and clothed Juweybir with two garments, and Zulfa entered into her house, and Juweybir went to her downcast. When he saw her, he looked at the house and the chattels, and the aromatic perfumes, he stood to a corner of the house, and did not cease to recite the Quran whilst performing Ruku’u and Sajdah until the dawn emerged.

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ خَرَجَ وَ خَرَجَتْ زَوْجَتُهُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَتَوَضَّأَتْ وَ صَلَّتِ الصُّبْحَ فَسُئِلَتْ هَلْ مَسَّكِ فَقَالَتْ مَا زَالَ تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ وَ رَاكِعاً وَ سَاجِداً حَتَّى سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ فَخَرَجَ

When he heard the call (Azaan), he and his wife went out to the Salat. So they both performed the Wudu’u and prayed the morning Salat. She was asked, ‘Has he touched you?’ She said, ‘He did not cease to recite the Quran, and performing Ruku’u and Sajdah until he heard the call (Azaan), and he went out.

فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ أَخْفَوْا ذَلِكَ مِنْ زِيَادٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ أَبُوهَا فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَمَرْتَنِي بِتَزْوِيجِ جُوَيْبِرٍ وَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ مَنَاكِحِنَا وَ لَكِنْ طَاعَتُكَ أَوْجَبَتْ عَلَيَّ تَزْوِيجَهُ

When it was the second night, he did similar to that, and that was concealed from Ziyad. When it was the third day, he did similar to that. So her father came to know, and he went to Rasool-Allahsaww and said to himsaww, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for youasws, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww ordered me with the marriage of Juweybir, and by Allahazwj, he was not from the ones we would have married, but I obeyed yousaww. It was Obligatory upon me to marry her to him’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَمَا الَّذِي أَنْكَرْتُمْ مِنْهُ قَالَ إِنَّا هَيَّأْنَا لَهُ بَيْتاً وَ مَتَاعاً وَ أُدْخِلَتِ ابْنَتِيَ الْبَيْتَ‏ وَ أُدْخِلَ مَعَهَا مُعَتِّماً فَمَا كَلَّمَهَا وَ لَا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَ لَا دَنَا مِنْهَا بَلْ قَامَ إِلَى زَاوِيَةِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ رَاكِعاً وَ سَاجِداً حَتَّى سَمِعَ النِّدَاءَ فَخَرَجَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ وَ لَمْ يَدْنُ مِنْهَا وَ لَمْ يُكَلِّمْهَا إِلَى أَنْ جِئْتُكَ وَ مَا نَرَاهُ يُرِيدُ النِّسَاءَ فَانْظُرْ فِي أَمْرِنَا

The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘So what it is that you are disliking from him?’ He said, ‘We prepared a house for him, and chattels, and I entered my daughter into the house, and I entered chattels along with her, but he neither spoke to her nor looked at her, nor did he approach her, but he stood by a corner of the room and did not cease to recite the Quran performing Ruku’u and Sajdah until he heard the call (Azaan), and he went out. The he did similar to that during the second night, and similar to that during the third, and did not approach her, and did not speak to her until I came over to yousaww, and we do not see him as wanting the women. Therefore, look into our matter’.

فَانْصَرَفَ زِيَادٌ وَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى جُوَيْبِرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ مَا تَقْرَبُ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ أَ وَ مَا أَنَا بِفَحْلٍ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَشَبِقٌ نَهِمٌ إِلَى النِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ خُبِّرْتُ بِخِلَافِ مَا وَصَفْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ قَدْ ذَكَرُوا لِي أَنَّهُمْ هَيَّئُوا لَكَ بَيْتاً وَ فِرَاشاً وَ مَتَاعاً وَ أُدْخِلَتْ عَلَيْكَ فَتَاةٌ حَسْنَاءُ عَطِرَةٌ وَ أَتَيْتَ مُعَتِّماً فَلَمْ تَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ تُكَلِّمْهَا وَ لَمْ تَدْنُ مِنْهَا فَمَا دَهَاكَ إِذَنْ

Ziyad left, and Rasool-Allahsaww sent for Juweybir, so hesaww said to him: ‘Do you not go near the women?’ Juweyir said to himsaww, ‘Or am I not a stallion? Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have intense craving for the women’. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Isaww have been informed opposite to what you are describing yourself with. It has been mentioned to mesaww that they prepared a house for you, and a bed, and chattels, and entered upon you a beautiful young girl, perfumed, and you were downcast and did not look at her, and did not speak to her, and did not approach her. So what is your wisdom then?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ‏ جُوَيْبِرٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَخَلْتُ‏ بَيْتاً وَاسِعاً وَ رَأَيْتُ فِرَاشاً وَ مَتَاعاً وَ فَتَاةً حَسْنَاءَ عَطِرَةً وَ ذَكَرْتُ حَالِيَ الَّتِي كُنْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَ غُرْبَتِي وَ حَاجَتِي وَ ضَيْعَتِي وَ كَيْنُونَتِي‏ مَعَ الْغُرَبَاءِ وَ الْمَسَاكِينِ فَأَحْبَبْتُ إِذْ أَوْلَانِيَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أَشْكُرَهُ عَلَى مَا أَعْطَانِي وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْهِ بِحَقِيقَةِ الشُّكْرِ

Juweybir said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I entered a spacious house, and I saw a bed, and chattels, and a beautiful young girl, perfumed, and I remembered my state which I used to be upon, and my poverty, and my destitution, and my place, and my clothes along with the poor ones and the needy, so I loved it that I should give preference to Allahazwj for that and thank Himazwj upon what Heazwj had Given me, and wanted to be closer to Himazwj with the reality of the gratefulness.

فَنَهَضْتُ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ فِي صَلَاتِي تَالِياً لِلْقُرْآنِ رَاكِعاً وَ سَاجِداً أَشْكُرُ اللَّهَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ النِّدَاءَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ رَأَيْتُ أَنْ أَصُومَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ وَ لَيَالِيَهَا وَ رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي جَنْبِ مَا أَعْطَانِيَ اللَّهُ يَسِيراً وَ لَكِنِّي سَأُرْضِيهَا وَ أُرْضِيهِمُ اللَّيْلَةَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Therefore, I went to a side of the house, and did not cease in my Salat, reciting the Quran bowing and prostrating, thanking Allahazwj until I heard the call (Azaan), so I went out. When it was the morning, I viewed that I should be Fasting for that day. I did that for three days and nights, and I viewed that compared to Allahazwj had Given me, is little, but I will be pleasing her, and pleasing them tonight, Allahazwj Willing’.

فَأَرْسَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى زِيَادٍ فَأَتَاهُ وَ أَعْلَمَهُ مَا قَالَ جُوَيْبِرٌ فَطَابَتْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ قَالَ وَفَى لَهُمْ جُوَيْبِرٌ بِمَا قَالَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص خَرَجَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ لَهُ وَ مَعَهُ جُوَيْبِرٌ فَاسْتُشْهِدَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَمَا كَانَ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ أَيِّمٌ أَنْفَقُ مِنْهَا بَعْدَ جُوَيْبِرٍ.

Rasool-Allahsaww sent for Ziyad, so he came over to himsaww. Hesaww let him know of what Juweybir had said, and they gladdened themselves’. Heasws said: ‘And Juweybir was loyal with what he had said. Then Rasool-Allahsaww went out regarding a military expedition of hissaww, and with himsaww was Juweybir. He was martyred, may Allahazwj the Exalted have Mercy upon him. So there was no woman more in demand than her among the Helpers, after Juweybir’’.⁹⁰

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Zureys Al Kunasy,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww passed by a man planting a plant in a wall of his. So hesaww paused for him and said: ‘Shall Isaww indicate to you upon a plant whose roots are firm, and its growth is quick, and its fruits are good, and it would remain (forever)?’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

فَقَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَ أَمْسَيْتَ فَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ إِنْ قُلْتَهُ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ عَشْرَ شَجَرَاتٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْفَاكِهَةِ وَ هُنَ‏ مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ

Hesaww said: ‘Whenever it is morning and evening, so say, ‘Glory be to Allahazwj, and the Praise is for Allahazwj, and there is no god except for Allahazwj, and Allahazwj is the Greatest’, so for you would be for every Glorification, if you were to say it, ten trees in the Paradise from a variety of fruits, and these would be from the righteous good deeds’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ حَائِطِي هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ مَقْبُوضَةٌ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَهْلِ الصَّدَقَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ آياً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ‏ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطى‏ وَ اتَّقى‏ وَ صَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنى‏ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرى‏.

Heasws said: ‘The man said, ‘I testify, O Rasool-Allahsaww, that his wall of mine is a charity held for the poor Muslims, the ones deserving of the charity’. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed Verses from the Quran: So, as for one who gives and fears [92:5] And ratifies the most excellent [92:6] So We will be Facilitating him to the ease [92:7]’’.⁹¹

Al-Kafi – Abu Ali Al Ashari, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Al Jabbar, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from his father,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘A man came to the Prophetsaww and complained to himsaww of the harm by his neighbour. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Be patient’. Then he came for a second time. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Be patient’. Then he returned to himsaww for a third time.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي شَكَا إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ رَوَاحِ النَّاسِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَأَخْرِجْ مَتَاعَكَ إِلَى الطَّرِيقِ حَتَّى يَرَاهُ مَنْ يَرُوحُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِذَا سَأَلُوكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ

The Prophetsaww said to the man who complained: ‘When it is during the passing of the people to the Friday Salat, then bring out your belongings to the road until he would see it, the one who passes by to the Friday Salat. When they ask you, then inform them’.

قَالَ فَفَعَلَ فَأَتَى جَارُهُ الْمُؤْذِي لَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رُدَّ مَتَاعَكَ وَ لَكَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَعُودَ.

Heasws said: ‘He did so and his neighbour came to him, the one who used to harm him, and said to him, ‘Return your belongings and for you is Allahazwj (as Witness) upon me that I will not repeat’’.⁹²

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘During the era of Rasool-Allahsaww, there was an extremely poor Believer who was needy to the people of the platform (A raised platform used by the Prophetsaww as a welcoming point for newcomers or destitute), and he used to adhere to Rasool-Allahsaww during the times of the Salat, all of (the time), not missing out anything from these (Salats); and Rasool-Allahsaww used to have compassion for him and would look into his needs and his poverty, and hesaww was saying: ‘O Sa’ad! If something comes to mesaww, Isaww would make you needless’.

قَالَ فَأَبْطَأَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَاشْتَدَّ غَمُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لِسَعْدٍ فَعَلِمَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ مَا دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ غَمِّهِ لِسَعْدٍ فَأَهْبَطَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مَعَهُ دِرْهَمَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ عَلِمَ مَا قَدْ دَخَلَكَ‏ مِنَ الْغَمِّ بِسَعْدٍ أَ فَتُحِبُّ أَنْ تُغْنِيَهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَهَاكَ هَذَيْنِ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ فَأَعْطِهِمَا إِيَّاهُ وَ مُرْهُ أَنْ يَتَّجِرَ بِهِمَا

Heasws said: ‘That was slow upon Rasool-Allahsaww, and the gloom for Sa’ad was intense upon Rasool-Allahsaww. Allahazwj the Glorious Knew what had entered upon Rasool-Allahsaww from hissaww gloom for Sa’ad. Jibraeelas descended and with himas were two Dirhams, and heas said to himsaww: ‘Allahazwj has Known of what has entered yousaww from the gloom for Sa’ad. Would yousaww like to have him enriched?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’. So heas said: ‘Give these two Dirhams to him and instruct him that he should do some business with these’.

قَالَ فَأَخَذَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ وَ سَعْدٌ قَائِمٌ عَلَى بَابِ حُجُرَاتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَنْتَظِرُهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ يَا سَعْدُ أَ تُحْسِنُ التِّجَارَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَصْبَحْتُ أَمْلِكُ مَالًا أَتَّجِرُ بِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ اتَّجِرْ بِهِمَا وَ تَصَرَّفْ لِرِزْقِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww took them, then went out to the Noon Salat, Sa’ad was standing at the door of the chamber of Rasool-Allahsaww awaiting himsaww. When Rasool-Allahsaww saw him, hesaww said: ‘O Sa’ad! Are you good at trading?’ Sa’ad said to himsaww, ‘By Allahazwj! I have not become an owner of wealth to trade with’. So the Prophetsaww gave him the two Dirhams and said to him: ‘Trade with these two, and disperse (to seek) the sustenance of Allahazwj’.

فَأَخَذَهُمَا سَعْدٌ وَ مَضَى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص حَتَّى صَلَّى مَعَهُ الظُّهْرَ وَ الْعَصْرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص قُمْ فَاطْلُبِ الرِّزْقَ فَقَدْ كُنْتُ بِحَالِكَ مُغْتَمّاً يَا سَعْدُ

Sa’ad took them and went along with Rasool-Allahsaww until he prayed with himsaww the Zohr and the Asr Salats. Then the Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Arise, and seek the sustenance, for Isaww have been concerned for you, O Sa’ad’.

قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ سَعْدٌ لَا يَشْتَرِي بِدِرْهَمٍ شَيْئاً إِلَّا بَاعَهُ بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ وَ لَا يَشْتَرِي شَيْئاً بِدِرْهَمَيْنِ إِلَّا بَاعَهُ بِأَرْبَعَةٍ وَ أَقْبَلَتِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى سَعْدٍ فَكَثُرَ مَتَاعُهُ وَ مَالُهُ وَ عَظُمَتْ تِجَارَتُهُ فَاتَّخَذَ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مَوْضِعاً وَ جَلَسَ فِيهِ وَ جَمَعَ تجايره‏ [تِجَارَتَهُ‏] إِلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَقَامَ بِلَالٌ الصَّلَاةَ يَخْرُجُ وَ سَعْدٌ مَشْغُولٌ بِالدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَتَطَهَّرْ وَ لَمْ يَتَهَيَّأْ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَشَاغَلَ بِالدُّنْيَا

Heasws said: ‘Sa’ad went and he did not buy anything with one Dirham except that he sold it for two Dirhams, and he did not buy anything for two Dirhams except that he sold it for four Dirhams. So the world turned towards Sa’ad and abundant was his wealth, and his business was great. He took a place at the door of the Masjid and sat therein, and he gathered his business around him, and when Bilal called Azaan for the Salat, Rasool-Allahsaww came out and Sa’ad was busy with the (affairs of the) world, not having cleansed himself (with Wudu’u) and not being welcoming like he used to do before but he became pre-occupied with the world.

فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَقُولُ يَا سَعْدُ شَغَلَتْكَ الدُّنْيَا عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ مَا أَصْنَعُ أُضَيِّعُ مَالِي هَذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ بِعْتُهُ فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْتَوْفِيَ مِنْهُ وَ هَذَا رَجُلٌ قَدِ اشْتَرَيْتُ مِنْهُ فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أُوفِيَهُ

So the Prophetsaww said: ‘O Sa’ad! You are too pre-occupied with the world from the Salat?’ He said, ‘I do not want to waste my wealth. This man, I have sold to him and want payment from him, and this man, I have bought from him, so I want to pay him’.

قَالَ فَدَخَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ أَمْرِ سَعْدٍ غَمٌّ أَشَدُّ مِنْ غَمِّهِ بِفَقْرِهِ فَهَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ عَلِمَ غَمَّكَ بِسَعْدٍ فَأَيُّمَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ حَالُهُ الْأُولَى أَوْ حَالُهُ هَذِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ بَلْ حَالُهُ الْأُولَى قَدْ ذَهَبَتْ‏ دُنْيَاهُ بِآخِرَتِهِ

Heasws said: ‘So sadness entered into Rasool-Allahsaww from the affair of Sa’ad which was more intense than hissaww sadness with his poverty. Jibraeelas descended and heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Allahazwj has Known yoursaww sadness with Sa’ad, so which of the two states of his is more beloved to yousaww, the former or this state of his’. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘O Jibraeelas! But, his former state, for his world has done away with his Hereafter’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع إِنَّ حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْأَمْوَالِ فِتْنَةٌ وَ مَشْغَلَةٌ عَنِ‏ الْآخِرَةِ قُلْ لِسَعْدٍ يَرُدُّ عَلَيْكَ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ دَفَعْتَهُمَا إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ أَمْرَهُ سَيَصِيرُ إِلَى الْحَالِ‏ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا أَوَّلًا

Jibraeelas said to himsaww: ‘The love of the world and the wealth is a trial and pre-occupies from the Hereafter. Tell Sa’ad to return to yousaww the two Dirhams which yousaww had handed over to him, so and his affair would come to be in the state which was upon him formerly’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَمَرَّ بِسَعْدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا سَعْدُ أَ مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَعْطَيْتُكَهُمَا فَقَالَ سَعْدٌ بَلَى وَ مِائَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لَهُ لَسْتُ أُرِيدُ مِنْكَ يَا سَعْدُ إِلَّا الدِّرْهَمَيْنِ فَأَعْطَاهُ سَعْدٌ دِرْهَمَيْنِ قَالَ فَأَدْبَرَتِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى سَعْدٍ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مَا كَانَ جَمَعَ وَ عَادَ إِلَى حَالِهِ الَّتِي كَانَ عَلَيْهَا.

Heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww went out and passed by Sa’ad, and hesaww said to him: ‘O Sa’ad! Do you want to return to me the two Dirhams which Isaww had given to you?’ Sa’ad said, ‘Yes, and two hundred (even)’. Hesaww said to him: ‘Isaww do not want from you, O Sa’ad, except for the two Dirhams’. So, Sa’ad gave himsaww the two Dirhams, and the world turned its back upon Sa’ad until the entirety of whatever he had, went away, and he returned back to his state which was upon him (formerly)’’.⁹³

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Jowhary, from Is’haq Bin Ibrahim Al Jufy who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying that Rasool-Allahsaww entered the chamber of Umm Salmaas, and hesaww smelt a good aroma. Hesaww said: ‘Al-Hawla came to youas?’ Sheas said, ‘It is so. She is complaining about her husband’. Al-Hawla came out to himsaww and she said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for yousaww! My husband has turned away from me’ So hesaww said: ‘Increase it (the perfuming), O Hawla’. She said, ‘I have not left any perfume from what I perfume myself for him with it, and he still turns away from me’.

فَقَالَ أَمَا لَوْ يَدْرِي مَا لَهُ بِإِقْبَالِهِ عَلَيْكِ قَالَتْ وَ مَا لَهُ بِإِقْبَالِهِ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ اكْتَنَفَهُ مَلَكَانِ وَ كَانَ كَالشَّاهِرِ سَيْفَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ جَامَعَ تَحَاتُّ عَنْهُ الذُّنُوبُ كَمَا تَتَحَاتُّ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرِ فَإِذَا هُوَ اغْتَسَلَ انْسَلَخَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘But, if only he knew what is for him with his facing towards you’. She said, ‘And what is for him with facing towards me?’ Hesaww said: ‘But he, when he faces you, two Angels would encircle him, so he would be like the striker of his sword in the Way of Allahazwj, and when he copulates, the sins would fall off from him like the falling of the leaves of the tree, and when he bathes, his sins would be pulled away’’.⁹⁴

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Abu Dawood Al Mustariq, from one of his men,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Three women came over to Rasool-Allahsaww, so one of them said, ‘My husband does not eat the meat’, and the other one said, ‘My husband does not smell the perfume’, and the other one said, ‘My husband does not go near the women’.

فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَجُرُّ رِدَاهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي لَا يَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ وَ لَا يَشَمُّونَ الطِّيبَ وَ لَا يَأْتُونَ النِّسَاءَ أَمَا إِنِّي آكُلُ اللَّحْمَ وَ أَشَمُّ الطِّيبَ وَ آتِي النِّسَاءَ فَمَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْ سُنَّتِي فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww went out dragging hissaww robe until hesaww ascended the Pulpit. Hesaww Praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then said: ‘What is the matter with a group of people from mysaww companions who are neither eating the meat, nor are the smelling the perfume, nor are they going to the women? But, Isaww eat the meat, and Isaww smell the perfume, and Iasws go to the women. So the one who turns away from mysaww Sunnah, he is not from mesaww’’.⁹⁵

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Salim Bin Abu Salama,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The death presented itself to a man, so it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The death has presented itself to so and so’. Rasool-Allahsaww stood up, and with himsaww were some people from hissaww companions, and went until hesaww came over to him, and there was unconsciousness upon him. Hesaww said: ‘O Angel of death, restrain from the man until Isaww question him’. So the man woke up.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا رَأَيْتَ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ بَيَاضاً كَثِيراً وَ سَوَاداً كَثِيراً فَقَالَ فَأَيُّهُمَا كَانَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ السَّوَادُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص قُلِ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘What did you see?’ He said, ‘I saw a lot of whiteness and a lot of darkness’. Hesaww said: ‘So which of the two was nearer to you?’ He said, ‘The darkness’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Say,

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الْكَثِيرَ مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ اقْبَلْ مِنِّي الْيَسِيرَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ ‏

‘O Allahazwj! Forgive me the abundance of my disobedience to Youazwj, and Accept from the little from my obedience to Youazwj’.

فَقَالَ

He said it’.

Then unconsciousness came upon him, and hesaww said: ‘O Angel of death! Lighten from him until I question him’. The man awoke, and hesaww said: ‘What did you see?’ I saw a lot of whiteness and a lot of darkness’. Hesaww said: ‘So which of the two was nearer to you?’ He said, The whiteness’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj has Forgiven your companion’.

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said regarding Hisazwj Words: And they had been Guided to the goodly from the words, and were Guided to the Path of the Praise One [22:24]. Heasws said: ‘That (refers to) Hamzaasws, and Ja’farasws, and Ubeyda, and Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra, and Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswadra, and Ammar being Guided to Amir Al-Momineenasws.

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww met Haris Bin Malik Bin Al-Numan Al-Ansary, so hesaww said to him: ‘How are you, O Harisa Bin Malik?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! A Momin truly’. Rasool-Allahsaww said him ‘For everything there is a reality. So what is the reality of your words?’

فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَزَفَتْ نَفْسِي‏ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا فَأَسْهَرَتْ لَيْلِي وَ أَظْمَأَتْ هَوَاجِرِي‏ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَرْشِ رَبِّي وَ قَدْ وُضِعَ لِلْحِسَابِ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ يَتَزَاوَرُونَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ كَأَنِّي أَسْمَعُ عُوَاءَ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فِي النَّارِ

So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have withdrawn myself from the world, and I stay awake during my night and am thirsty, and it is as if I am looking at the Throne of my Lordazwj, and it has been placed for the Reckoning, and it is as if I am looking at the people of the Paradise visiting in the Paradise, and it is as if I am hearing the howling of the people of the Fire in the Fire’.

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘(You are) a servant whose heart Allahazwj has Enlightened. You have insight, so be steadfast’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Supplicate for me that Heazwj should Grace me with the martyrdom with you’. Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj Grace the martyrdom to Harisa’. So it wasn’t long, only a few days, until Rasool-Allahsaww sent a battalion, and sent him in it. He fought and killed nine, or eight, then he was killed’’.

100- فر، تفسير فرات بن إبراهيم عُبَيْدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ مُعَنْعَناً عَنْ مَالِكٍ الْمَازِنِيِ‏ قَالَ: أَتَى تِسْعَةُ نَفَرٍ إِلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُكْثِرُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ عَمَّنْ تَسْأَلُونِّي قَالُوا نَسْأَلُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

Tafseer Furaat bin Ibrahim – Ubeyd Bin Kaseer transmitting from Malik Al-Mazny who said, ‘Nine people came to Abu Saeed Al-Khudry and they said, ‘O Abu Saeed! This man whom the people are frequently speaking about, what are you saying regarding him?’ He said, ‘About whom are you asking me?’ They said, ‘We are asking about Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ تَسْأَلُونِّي عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَمَرَّ مِنَ الدِّفْلَى وَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَ أَخَفَّ مِنَ الرِّيشَةِ وَ أَثْقَلَ مِنَ الْجِبَالِ أَمَّا وَ اللَّهِ مَا حَلَا إِلَّا عَلَى أَلْسِنَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَا أَخَفَ‏ إِلَّا عَلَى قُلُوبِ الْمُتَّقِينَ فَلَا أَحَبَّهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ إِلَّا حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْآمِنِينَ وَ إِنَّهُ لَمِنْ حِزْبِ اللَّهِ وَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ‏ هُمُ الْغالِبُونَ

He said, ‘But you are asking me about a man who is more bitter than the oleander and sweeter than the honey, and lighter than the feather and heavier than the mountain. But by Allahazwj, heasws is not sweeter except upon the tongue of the Momineen and heasws is not light except upon the hearts of the pious. Thus, no one will love himasws at all for the Sake of Allahazwj and for Hisazwj Rasoolsaww except Allahazwj will Resurrect him to be from the secured ones, and he would be from the party of Allahazwj, and the party of Allahazwj, they will overcome.

‏ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَمَرَّ إِلَّا عَلَى لِسَانِ كَافِرٍ وَ لَا ثَقُلَ‏ إِلَّا عَلَى قَلْبِ مُنَافِقٍ وَ مَا ازْوَرَّ عَنْهُ‏ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ وَ لَا لَوَى وَ لَا تَحَزَّبَ وَ لَا عَبَسَ وَ لَا بَسَرَ وَ لَا عَسَرَ وَ لَا مَضَّرَ وَ لَا الْتَفَتَ‏ وَ لَا نَظَرَ وَ لَا تَبَسَّمَ وَ لَا يَجْرِي‏ وَ لَا ضَحِكَ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ وَ لَا قَالَ أَعْجَبُ لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ إِلَّا حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ مُنَافِقاً مَعَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ‏ وَ سَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ‏.

By Allahazwj! Heasws is not bitter except upon the tongue of a Kafir, nor heavier except upon the head of a hypocrite, and no one will turn away from himasws at all, nor turn back, nor form an alliance (against himasws, nor frown, nor scowl, nor rival, nor show anger, nor turn away, nor look (harshly), nor smile (slyly), nor be audacious, nor laugh at hisasws companion, nor say, ‘I wonder at this matter’, except Allahazwj will Resurrect him as a hypocrite along with the hypocrites, And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26:227]’’.¹⁰¹

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Muhammad Al Asady, from Salim Bin Mukram,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The (financial) state of a man from the companions of the Prophetsaww became difficult, so his wife said to him, ‘If only you would go to Rasool-Allahsaww and ask himsaww’. So he came over to the Prophetsaww. When the Prophetsaww saw him, said: ‘The one who asks ussaww, wesaww give to him, but the one who manages without (asking), Allahazwj would Enrich him’.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا يَعْنِي غَيْرِي فَرَجَعَ إِلَى امْرَأَتِهِ فَأَعْلَمَهَا فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بَشَرٌ فَأَعْلِمْهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ مَنْ سَأَلَنَا أَعْطَيْنَاهُ وَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى فَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً

The man said, ‘Hesaww did not mean anyone apart from me’. He returned to his wife and let her know. She said ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is (only) a mortal, so let himsaww know of it’. So he went over to himsaww. When Rasool-Allahsaww saw him, hesaww said: ‘The one who asks ussaww, wesaww give to him, and the one who manages without (asking), Allahazwj would Enrich him’, to the extent that the man did that three times.

ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ فَاسْتَعَارَ مِعْوَلًا ثُمَّ أَتَى الْجَبَلَ فَصَعِدَهُ فَقَطَعَ حَطَباً ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِهِ فَبَاعَهُ بِنِصْفِ مُدٍّ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ فَرَجَعَ بِهِ فَأَكَلَهُ ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ مِنَ الْغَدِ فَجَاءَ بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَبَاعَهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَعْمَلُ وَ يَجْمَعُ حَتَّى اشْتَرَى مِعْوَلًا ثُمَّ جَمَعَ حَتَّى اشْتَرَى بَكْرَيْنِ وَ غُلَاماً ثُمَّ أَثْرَى حَتَّى أَيْسَرَ

Then the man went away, and he borrowed a pick-axe, then went to the mountain and ascended it, and cut some firewood. Then he came with it and sold it for half a Mudd (750 gms.) of flour and he returned with it. He ate it, then went (again) the next day and came with a lot of that, and he sold it. So he did not cease working and gathering (money) until he bought a pick-axe. Then he gathered (money) until he bought two young camels and a slave. Then he was enriched to the extent that he was affluent.

فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَعْلَمَهُ كَيْفَ جَاءَ يَسْأَلُهُ وَ كَيْفَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص قُلْتُ لَكَ مَنْ سَأَلَنَا أَعْطَيْنَاهُ وَ مَنِ اسْتَغْنَى أَغْنَاهُ اللَّهُ‏.

He came over to the Prophetsaww and let himsaww know how he had come to ask himsaww, and how the Prophetsaww made him hear (the advice). The Prophetsaww said: ‘Isaww told you, the one who asks ussaww, we give it to him, but the one who manages (without asking), Allahazwj would Enrich him’’.¹⁰³

For us there is a need to yousaww’. Heasws said: ‘State your need’. They said, ‘It is a great need’. Hesaww said: ‘Say it, what is it?’ They said, ‘Guarantee for us the Paradise upon yoursaww Lordazwj’.

Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww lowered hissaww head, then made marks in the ground, then raised hissaww head, so hesaww said: ‘Isaww will do that with you upon a stipulation that not one of you would ask anyone for anything’.

قَالَ فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ يَكُونُ فِي السَّفَرِ فَيَسْقُطُ سَوْطُهُ فَيَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِإِنْسَانٍ نَاوِلْنِيهِ فِرَاراً مِنَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَيَنْزِلُ فَيَأْخُذُهُ وَ يَكُونُ عَلَى الْمَائِدَةِ فَيَكُونُ‏ بَعْضُ الْجُلَسَاءِ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى الْمَاءِ مِنْهُ فَلَا يَقُولُ نَاوِلْنِي حَتَّى يَقُومُ فَيَشْرَبُ‏.

Heasws said: ‘So it was such that the man from them happened to be in the journey, and his whip would fall down, so he would dislike to ask a person, ‘Can you give it to me’, (so they were) fleeing from the asking, so he would (rather) descend and take it himself; and he would happen to be upon the table, and one of the seated ones would be closer to the water than himself, but he would not say, ‘Can you give me (the water)’, until he would arise himself, so he would drink’’.¹⁰⁵

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy, from Muhammad bin Ali, from Haroun Bin Hamza, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘What does Umar Bin Muslim do?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! He has diverted towards the worship and neglects the business’. So heasws said: ‘Woe be unto him! Does he not know that the neglecter of the seeking (of sustenance) does not get his supplications Answered for him?

إِنَّ قَوْماً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ‏ وَ مَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً وَ يَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لا يَحْتَسِبُ‏- أَغْلَقُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَ أَقْبَلُوا عَلَى الْعِبَادَةِ وَ قَالُوا قَدْ كُفِينَا

A group from the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww, when (the Verse And one who fears Allah, He would Make an outlet for him [65:2] And He would Sustain him from where he does not reckon. [65:3], was Revealed, they locked their doors and diverted themselves towards the worship, and they were saying, ‘Allahazwj would Suffice for us’.

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ ص فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُكُفِّلَ لَنَا بِأَرْزَاقِنَا فَأَقْبَلْنَا عَلَى الْعِبَادَةِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالطَّلَبِ‏.

That reached the Prophetsaww, so hesaww sent for them. Hesaww said: ‘What made you carry upon what you are doing?’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww guaranteed our livelihood for us, so we diverted ourselves towards the worship’. Hesaww said: ‘The one who does that, (his supplications) would not be Answered for him. It is upon you with the seeking (of the livelihood)’’.¹¹²

Al Kafi – The number, from Ibn Isa, from Al Bazanty, from Haroun Bin Al Jahm, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘When the women emigrated to Rasool-Allahsaww, a woman called Umm Habeeb emigrated along with them, and she was a female circumciser, circumcising the girls. When Rasool-Allahsaww saw her, said to her: ‘O Umm Habeeb! The work which has been in your hands, is it in your hands today (as well)?’ She said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww, unless it happens to be Prohibited, so forbid me from it’. Hesaww said: ‘No, but (it is) Permissible, so approach mesaww until Isaww teach you’.

قَالَ فَدَنَتْ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ حَبِيبٍ إِذَا أَنْتِ فَعَلْتِ فَلَا تَنْهَكِي أَيْ لَا تَسْتَأْصِلِي وَ أَشِمِّي فَإِنَّهُ أَشْرَقُ لِلْوَجْهِ وَ أَحْظَى عِنْدَ الزَّوْجِ

She said, ‘So I approached himsaww, so hesaww said: ‘O Umm Habeeb! Whenever you perform it, so do not overdo it, i.e., do not uproot it (entirely) but to rather scrape it, for it is brightening for the surface and more pleasurable in the presence of the husband’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ لِأُمِّ حَبِيبٍ أُخْتٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ وَ كَانَتْ مُقَيِّنَةً يَعْنِي مَاشِطَةً فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَتْ أُمُّ حَبِيبٍ إِلَى أُخْتِهَا أَخْبَرَتْهَا بِمَا قَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَقْبَلَتْ أُمُّ عَطِيَّةَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ بِمَا قَالَتْ لَهَا أُخْتُهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ادْنِي مِنِّي يَا أُمَّ عَطِيَّةَ إِذَا أَنْتِ قَيَّنْتِ الْجَارِيَةَ فَلَا تَغْسِلِي وَجْهَهَا بِالْخِرْقَةِ فَإِنَّ الْخِرْقَةَ تَشْرَبُ مَاءَ الْوَجْهُ‏.

Heasws said: ‘And there was a sister for Umm Habeeb called Umm Atiyya, and she was a ladies maid, meaning a hairdresser. So when Umm Habeeb left to go to her sister, she informed her with what Rasool-Allahsaww had said to her. Umm Atiyya came over to the Prophetsaww and informed himsaww with what her sister had said to her. Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘Approach mesaww, O Umm Atiyya! Whenever you attend to the girl, so do not wash her face with a rag, for the rag absorbs the water of the face’’.¹¹³

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina, from Al Fuzayl and Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And from the people there is one who worships Allah superficially. So if good befalls him, he is content with it, and if a fitna befalls him, he turns upon his face, losing the world and the Hereafter. [22:11].

قَالَ زُرَارَةُ سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ عَبَدُوا اللَّهَ وَ خَلَعُوا عِبَادَةَ مَنْ يُعْبَدُ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَ شَكُّوا فِي مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ فَتَكَلَّمُوا بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَ شَهِدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَقَرُّوا بِالْقُرْآنِ وَ هُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ شَاكُّونَ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ وَ لَيْسُوا شُكَّاكاً فِي اللَّهِ

Zurara (the narrator) said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about it, and heasws said: ‘They are a people worshipping Allahazwj and keeping away from worshipping the ones besides Allahazwj and are doubting regarding Muhammadsaww and what hesaww came with. Thus, they are speaking with Al-Islam and are testifying that there is no god except for Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, and are acknowledging the Quran, and they are doubting in regarding Muhammadsaww and what hesaww came with, and are not doubtful regarding Allahazwj’.

قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ عَلى‏ حَرْفٍ‏ يَعْنِي عَلَى شَكٍّ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ ص‏ فَإِنْ أَصابَهُ خَيْرٌ يَعْنِي عَافِيَةً فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ‏ اطْمَأَنَّ بِهِ‏ وَ رَضِيَ بِهِ‏ وَ إِنْ أَصابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ بَلَاءٌ فِي جَسَدِهِ أَوْ مَالِهِ تَطَيَّرَ وَ كَرِهَ الْمُقَامَ عَلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِالنَّبِيِّ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى الْوُقُوفِ وَ الشَّكِّ فَنَصَبَ الْعَدَاوَةَ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ وَ الْجُحُودَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ص وَ مَا جَاءَ بِهِ‏.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says: And from the people there is one who worships Allah superficially [22:11] – Meaning doubting in Muhammadsaww and what hesaww came with. So if good befalls him - meaning well-being regarding himself and his wealth and his children, he is content with it, and if a fitna befalls him, meaning an affliction in his body or his wealth he flies off and dislikes the standing upon the acknowledgement with the Prophetsaww. So he returns to the pausing and the doubting and establishes the enmity to Allahazwj and to Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and becomes critical to the Prophetsaww and what hesaww came with’’.¹¹⁴

Al Kafi - Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, said, ‘I asked himasws about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And from the people there is one who worships Allah superficially [22:11]. Heasws said: ‘They are a people professing the Oneness of Allahazwj and keeping away from worshipping the ones besides Allahazwj. So they are exiting from the Shirk (Polytheism) but are not recognising that Muhammadsaww is the Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj. Thus, they are worshipping Allahazwj upon doubt regarding Muhammadsaww and what hesaww came with.

فَأَتَوْا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالُوا نَنْظُرُ فَإِنْ كَثُرَتْ أَمْوَالُنَا وَ عُوفِينَا فِي أَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَوْلَادِنَا عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ وَ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ نَظَرْنَا

They came over to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘We shall consider, so if our wealth becomes abundant, and we are with good health regarding ourselves and our children, we will know that hesaww is truthful and that hesaww is Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj; but if it is other than that, we shall reconsider’.

قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ فَإِنْ أَصابَهُ خَيْرٌ اطْمَأَنَّ بِهِ‏ يَعْنِي عَافِيَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنْ أَصابَتْهُ فِتْنَةٌ يَعْنِي بَلَاءً فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ‏ انْقَلَبَ عَلى‏ وَجْهِهِ‏ انْقَلَبَ عَلَى شَكِّهِ إِلَى الشِّرْكِ‏ خَسِرَ الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةَ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرانُ الْمُبِينُ يَدْعُوا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ ما لا يَضُرُّهُ وَ ما لا يَنْفَعُهُ‏

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: So if good befalls him, he is content with it, [22:11] - meaning the health in the world, and if a fitna befalls him – meaning affliction regarding himself and his wealth, he turns upon his face – overturning (back) to his doubt, to the Shirk, losing the world and the Hereafter. That is the clear loss [22:11]. He calls from besides Allah what cannot harm him and what cannot benefit him. [22:12]’.

قَالَ يَنْقَلِبُ مُشْرِكاً يَدْعُو غَيْرَ اللَّهِ وَ يَعْبُدُ غَيْرَ اللَّهِ‏ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ فَيَدْخُلُ الْإِيمَانُ قَلْبَهُ فَيُؤْمِنُ فَيُصَدِّقُ وَ يَزُولُ عَنْ مَنْزِلَتِهِ مِنَ الشَّكِّ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَثْبُتُ عَلَى شَكِّهِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى الشِّرْكِ‏.

Heasws said: ‘He overturns to be a Mushrik (Polytheist) supplicating to other than Allahazwj and worshipping other than Himazwj. So from them is one who recognises and the Emān enters his heart, so he believes and ratifies and declines from his state of doubt to (embrace) the Emān, and from them is the one who remains affirmed upon his doubt, and from them is the one who overturns to the Shirk (Polytheism)’’.¹¹⁵

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Whenever you come over to us, you aromatise our rooms’. She said, ‘Yousaww room is more aromatic by yourasws aroma, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘Whenever you sell, so make it good (pure) and do not mix it up, for it is more fearful of Allahazwj and more remaining for the wealth’’.¹¹⁷

The Helper spoke to him that he should seek permission whenever he comes. But, Samurat refused.

When the Helper went over to Rasool-Allahsaww, he complained to himsaww and informed himsaww of the news. Rasool-Allahsaww sent a messenger to him and informed him with the words of the Helper, and what he had complained with, and said: ‘If you intend the entry, so seek permission’. But he refused. When he refused, hesaww bargained with him until it reached from the price what Allahazwj so Desired. But he (still) refused to sell it. Hesaww said: ‘For you would be a tree extended to you in the Paradise if you accept’. But he refused. Rasool-Allahsaww said to the Helper: ‘Go and uproot it and throw it at him, for there should neither be harm nor a harm caused’’.¹¹⁸

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from one of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Samurat Bin Jundab had a palm tree for him, and its pathway to it was in the middle of a house of a man from the Helpers. He used to come and entered to his tree without permission from the Helper. The Helper said to him, ‘O Samurat! You do not cease to surprise us upon a state which we do not like to be surprised upon. Whenever you enter, seek permission’. He said, ‘I will not seek permission regarding a pathway and it is my pathway to my tree’.

قَالَ فَشَكَاهُ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ فُلَاناً قَدْ شَكَاكَ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّكَ تَمُرُّ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنِهِ فَاسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَسْتَأْذِنُ فِي طَرِيقِي إِلَى عَذْقِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَلِّ عَنْهُ وَ لَكَ مَكَانَهُ عَذْقٌ فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَكَ اثْنَانِ قَالَ لَا أُرِيدُ

Heasws said: ‘So the Helper complained to Rasool-Allahsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww sent for him, and he came over to himsaww. Hesaww said to him: ‘So and so has complained and alleges that you are trespassing upon him and his family without permission, therefore seek permission to him whenever you intend to enter’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have to seek permission regarding my pathway to my tree?’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Leave it alone and for you would be a tree in its replacement in such and such a place’. He said, ‘No’. Hesaww said: ‘For you would be two’. He said, ‘I do not want it’.

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَزِيدُهُ حَتَّى بَلَغَ عَشَرَةَ أَعْذَاقٍ فَقَالَ لَا قَالَ فَلَكَ عَشَرَةٌ فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَبَى فَقَالَ خَلِّ عَنْهُ وَ لَكَ مَكَانَهُ عَذْقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ لَا أُرِيدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ مُضَارٌّ وَ لَا ضَرَرَ وَ لَا ضِرَارَ عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ

Hesaww did not cease to increase upon him until it reached ten trees. But he said, ‘No’. Hesaww said: ‘For you would be ten in such and such a place’. But, he refused’. Hesaww said: ‘And for you, in its place, would be a tree in the Paradise’. He said, ‘I do not want it’. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘You are a harmful man, and there should neither be a harm nor a harm caused upon a Momin’.

Heasws said: ‘Then Rasool-Allahsaww ordered with it, so it was uprooted, then it was thrown with it at him, and Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Go, and plant it wherever you so desire to’’.¹¹⁹

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman, and Hisham Bin Salim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww used to exclaim five Takbeers upon a people, and four upon another people (at funerals). So, whenever hesaww exclaimed four Takbeers upon a man, it meant he was with hypocrisy’’.¹²⁰

Al Kafi – Abu Ali Al Ash’ary, from Muhammad bin Salim and Ali, 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,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww came out for the display of the horses. Hesaww passed by the grave of Abu Ahayhat. 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 Rasool-Allahsaww’. 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. Allahazwj has Cursed the worthless one of the two of his clan’.

فَأَلْقَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خِطَامَ رَاحِلَتِهِ عَلَى غَارِبِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا أَنْتُمْ تَنَاوَلْتُمُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَعُمُّوا وَ لَا تَخُصُّوا فَيَغْضَبَ وُلْدُهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww placed the bridle of the horse upon his (Abu Bakr’s) neck and said: ‘Whenever you speak about the Polytheists speak in general terms and not particular, for you have angered 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 ص 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’.

فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص 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 ص كَذَبْتَ بَلْ رِجَالُ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ أَفْضَلُ الْإِيمَانُ يَمَانِيٌ‏ وَ الْحِكْمَةُ يَمَانِيَّةٌ وَ لَوْ لَا الْهِجْرَةُ لَكُنْتُ امْرَأً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ

Rasool-Allahsaww 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’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘You are lying. But, the men of Yemen are better. The Eman 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 مَذْحِجٌ 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 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 جَمْداً وَ مِخْوَساً وَ مِشْرَحاً وَ أَبْضَعَةَ وَ أُخْتَهُمُ الْعَمَرَّدَةَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُحَلِّلَ وَ الْمُحَلَّلَ لَهُ وَ مَنْ تَوَالَى‏ 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, 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 own parents’.

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 شهيلًا ذَا الْأَسْنَانِ وَ ابْنَيْ مُلَيْكَةَ بْنِ جَزِيمٍ وَ مَرْوَانَ وَ هَوْذَةَ وَ هَوْنَةَ.

A man said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! 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’’.¹²¹

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Al bazanty, from Aban Bin Usman, from Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws: ‘Samama Bin Asaal was captured by the cavalry of the Prophetsaww and Rasool-Allahsaww had said: ‘Our Allahazwj! Make mesaww to overcome Samama!’ So 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 (accept) your ransom’. He said, ‘Then yousaww would find me to be expensive’. Hesaww said: ‘Or Isaww grant safety to you’. He said, ‘Then you would find me to be thankful’.

Hesaww said: ‘So Isaww hereby grant safety to you’. He said, ‘I hereby testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, and yousaww Muhammadsaww are Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, and by Allahazwj, I knew yousaww were Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj when I saw yousaww, and I did not testify by it while I was in bondage’’.¹²²

Al Kafi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Al Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having 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’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ صَوْمَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَهُ وَ الْحَجَّ إِذَا اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا وَ الزَّكَاةَ وَ فَسَّرَهَا لَهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Allahazwj has Made it an obligation upon you to pray seventeen cycles Salat during the day and the night, and Fasts of the Month of Ramadhan when you are of realisation (adult), and the Hajj 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 ص وَ لِمَ يَا ذَا النَّمِرَةِ فَقَالَ كَمَا خَلَقَنِي قَبِيحاً

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’. Rasool-Allahsaww said; ‘And why, O Zu Al-Namrat?’ He said, ‘For Heazwj has Created me as ugly’.

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘O Zu Al-Namrat! This here is Jibraeelas instructing 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 Jibraeelas?’ So Zu Al-Namrat said, ‘I have thus become happy, O Lordazwj.

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww bought a horse from a Bedouin which had fascinated himsaww. A group from the hypocrites arose and envied Rasool-Allahsaww upon what hesaww had taken from him. They said to the Bedouin, ‘If only you would have reached the market with it, you could have sold it for double this (amount)’.

فَدَخَلَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ الشَّرَهُ فَقَالَ أَ لَا أَرْجِعُ فَأَسْتَقِيلَهُ فَقَالُوا لَا وَ لَكِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ فَإِذَا جَاءَكَ بِنَقْدِكَ فَقُلْ مَا بِعْتُكَ بِهَذَا فَإِنَّهُ سَيَرُدُّهُ عَلَيْكَ

So, evil entered into the Bedouin and he said, ‘Shall I retract and rescind it?’ They said, ‘No. Hesaww is a righteous man, so when hesaww comes to you with your cash, then say, ‘I did not sell it for this (amount)’, so hesaww will return it (horse) to you’.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَخْرَجَ إِلَيْهِ النَّقْدَ فَقَالَ مَا بِعْتُكَ بِهَذَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بِعْتَنِي

When the Prophetsaww came, brought out the cash to him. He said, ‘I did not sell it to yousaww for this (amount)’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! You have sold it to mesaww (for this amount)’.

فَجَاءَ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ أَشْهَدُ لَقَدْ بِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِهَذَا الثَّمَنِ الَّذِي قَالَ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ لَقَدْ بِعْتُهُ وَ مَا مَعَنَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِخُزَيْمَةَ كَيْفَ شَهِدْتَ بِهَذَا

Khuzeyma Bin Sabit came and said, ‘O Bedouin! I testify you have sold it to Rasool-Allahsaww for this price which hesaww says’. The Bedouin said, ‘I had sold it and where was no one else with us’. Rasool-Allahsaww said to Khuzeyma: ‘How can you testify with this?’

فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي تُخْبِرُنَا عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ أَخْبَارِ السَّمَاوَاتِ فَنُصَدِّقُكَ وَ لَا نُصَدِّقُكَ فِي ثَمَنِ هَذَا فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَهَادَتَهُ شَهَادَةَ رَجُلَيْنِ فَهُوَ ذُو الشَّهَادَتَيْنِ‏.

He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww, yousaww informed us about Allahazwj and news of the skies and we ratified yousaww, and we cannot ratify yousaww regarding the price of this (horse)?’ Thus, Rasool-Allahsaww made his testimony as being the testimonies of two men, so he is (called) ‘Zul Shahadatayn’ (one of two testimonies)’’.¹²⁵

(The book) ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’ – ‘From Abu Baseer,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws) having said: ‘Bilalra was a righteous servant. Hera said, ‘Ira will not call the Azaan for anyone after Rasool-Allahsaww’. On that day (the phrase) ‘Hasten to the best of deeds’ was left out (from the Azaan)’’.¹²⁸

(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkam’ – ‘Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Mahboub, from Muawiya Bin Hukeym, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far, from his father who said,

‘A man from the people of Syria came to Abu Abdullahasws and heasws said to him, ‘The first one to precede to the Paradise would be Bilalra’. He said: ‘And why?’ Heasws said: ‘Because hera was the first one to call the Azaan’’.¹²⁹

بيان: الظاهر أن القائل أولا أبو عبد الله ع فالأولية إضافية بالنسبة إلى جماعة من أضرابه أو المؤذنين و يحتمل أن يكون القائل الشامي فقال ع و لم على وجه الإنكار فلما أصر القائل لم يجبه ع للمصلحة.

Explanation (from Majlisi) – The apparent is that the first speaker is Abu Abdullahasws, for the primacy is an addition with the attribution to a group from its striking, or the listeners and it carries that the (first) speaker (might) be the Syrian, so heasws said: ‘And why?’ upon the aspect of the denial. When the speaker insisted, heasws did not answer him due to the inconvenience.

Heasws said: ‘Hesaww said: ‘Upon (the condition) that yousaww will assist mesaww with the prolongness in Sajdahs’. They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. So hesaww guaranteed the Paradise to them. That reached a group from the Helpers and they said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Guarantee the Paradise to us’. Hesaww said: ‘Upon (the condition) that you will not ask anyone for anything’. They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ So hesaww guaranteed the Paradise to them.

Then it so happened that a man from them, his whip would fall down while he was upon his riding animal, so he would descend until he himself would take it, disliking to ask anything from anyone; and that the slipper strap of a man would be cut and he would dislike to seeking anything from anyone’’.¹³⁰

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had cupping done by a slave of the clan of Bayaza, and gave him, even though it was Prohibited what hesaww gave him. When he was free, Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Where is the blood?’ He said, ‘I drank it, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. Hesaww said: ‘It was not appropriate for you to do so, and Allahazwj has Made it to be a barrier for you from the Fire’’.¹³¹

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from one of our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘There was a man who used to sell oil, and he used to love Rasool-Allahsaww with intense love. Whenever he intended to go for his (business) needs, he would never do it unless he looked at Rasool-Allahsaww 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 Rasool-Allahsaww until he saw himsaww, then he went away for his (business) needs.

فَلَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ رَجَعَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص 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

It was not long before he returned. 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 Rasool-Allahsaww, 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’.

فَدَعَا لَهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ خَيْراً ثُمَّ مَكَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيَّاماً لَا يَرَاهُ فَلَمَّا فَقَدَهُ سَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْنَاهُ مُنْذُ أَيَّامٍ

So hesaww supplicated for him and wished him well. Then Rasool-Allahsaww waited a few days but did not see him, so hesaww asked about him. It was said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, we have not seen him for days’.

فَانْتَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ انْتَعَلَ مَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ انْطَلَقَ حَتَّى أَتَى‏ 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

Rasool-Allahsaww put on hissaww slippers, and hissaww companions put on their slippers, and hesaww 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 Rasool-Allahsaww, 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’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كَانَ يُحِبُّنِي حُبّاً لَوْ كَانَ نَخَّاساً لَغَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww 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’’.¹³²

Hesaww said: ‘What has reached from your Eman?’ They said, ‘The patience during the afflictions, and the gratefulness during the prosperity, and the agreement with the Ordainment’.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Forbearers, scholars, they are almost from the understanding that they would become Prophetsas, if you are as what you are saying. Then, do not build what you will not be dwelling in nor amass what you will not be consuming, and fear Allahazwj, the One to Whom you will be returning’’.¹³³

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww came out regarding the funeral of Sa’ad, and seventy thousand Angels had escorted him. Rasool-Allahsaww raised hissaww head towards the sky, then said: ‘The like of Sa’ad would be squeezed (in the grave)’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّا نُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسْتَخِفُّ بِالْبَوْلِ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ مِنْ زَعَارَّةٍ فِي خُلُقِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ هَنِيئاً لَكَ يَا سَعْدُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أُمَّ سَعْدٍ لَا تَحْتِمِي عَلَى اللَّهِ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! We are narrating that he used to take the urine lightly’. Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Forbid! But rather, he was from the ones who were of bad manners upon his family. The mother of Sa’ad said, ‘Congratulations to you, O Sa’ad!’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘O umm Sa’ad! Do not be imposing upon Allahazwj’’.¹³⁴

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘A man came to Rasool-Allahsaww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I went out and my wife was menstruating, and I returned and she was pregnant’. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Who are you accusing?’ He said, ‘The are two men’. Hesaww said: ‘Bring them both’.

He came with them. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘This child is for you, for he would be coming out as such and such’. He was born just as Rasool-Allahsaww had said. Hesaww made its fine to be upon the people of its mother, and his inheritance to be for them, and if a person were to say, ‘O so of the adulteress’, he would be whipped the Legal punishment’’.¹³⁵

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘No! Sit in your house, and obey your husband’.

Heasws said: ‘It was difficult (upon her), so she sent a message to him for a second time with that saying, ‘If yousaww were to order me, I could aid him’. Hesaww said:’ Sit in your house and obey your husband’.

When they heard that, they cried. Then a woman from them stood up to himsaww and she said, ‘O Rasool-Allahazwj! In the Fire along with the Kafirs? By Allahazwj! We are not Kafirs so we could come to be in the Fire’. Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘You would be disbelieving in the rights of your husbands’’.¹³⁸

138- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ خَطَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ النِّسَاءَ فَقَالَ يَا مَعَاشِرَ النِّسَاءِ تَصَدَّقْنَ وَ لَوْ مِنْ حُلِيِّكُنَّ وَ لَوْ بِتَمْرَةٍ وَ لَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ فَإِنَّ أَكْثَرَكُنَّ حَطَبُ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّكُنَّ تُكْثِرْنَ اللَّعْنَ وَ تَكْفُرْنَ الْعَشِيرَةَ

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww addressed the women, so hesaww said: ‘O group of women! Give charity, and even if it is from your ornaments, and even if it is with a date, and even if it is a part of a date, for the majority of you would be the fuel of the Fire if you frequently abuse and curse your associate (husband)’.

فَقَالَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ لَهَا عَقْلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ لَيْسَ نَحْنُ الْأُمَّهَاتُ الْحَامِلَاتُ الْمُرْضِعَاتُ أَ لَيْسَ مِنَّا الْبَنَاتُ الْمُقِيمَاتُ وَ الْأَخَوَاتُ الْمُشْفِقَاتُ فَرَقَّ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ حَامِلَاتٌ وَالِدَاتٌ مُرْضِعَاتٌ رَحِيمَاتٌ لَوْ لَا مَا يَأْتِينَ إِلَى بُعُولَتِهِنَّ مَا دَخَلَتْ مُصَلِّيَةٌ مِنْهُنَّ النَّارَ.

A woman from the Clan of Suleym for whom was intellect, said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Are we not the mothers, the carriers, the breast-feeders. Are there not from us, the daughters who stay (with their husbands), and the sisters who are kind?’ Rasool-Allahsaww was moved emotionally and said to her: ‘Childbearing, birth giving, breast-feeders, merciful ones, if only they do not bring to their husbands what would make them arrive to the Fire’’.¹³⁹

139- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِحَارِثِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ فَقَالَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ حَقِيقَةٌ فَمَا حَقِيقَةُ إِيمَانِكَ

(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al-Rawandy – By his chain going up to Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Haris Bin Malik: ‘How have you become?’ He said, ‘By Allahazwj, O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have become (being) from the Momineen’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘For every Momin there is a reality, so what is the reality of your Eman?’

قَالَ أَسْهَرْتُ لَيْلِي وَ أَنْفَقْتُ مَالِي وَ عَزَفْتُ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى عَرْشِ رَبِّي جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَ قَدْ أُبْرِزَ لِلْحِسَابِ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَتَزَاوَرُونَ وَ كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ يَتَعَاوَوْنَ

He said, ‘I stay awake in my nights (in worship), and I spend my wealth (in charity), and I am detached from the world, and it is as if I am looking that the Throne of my Lordazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty, and I have come to the Reckoning, and it is as if I am looking at the inhabitants of the Paradise in the Paradise visiting each other, and it is as if I am looking at the inhabitants of the Fire howling at each other’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَذَا عَبْدٌ قَدْ نَوَّرَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ قَدْ أَبْصَرْتَ فَالْزَمْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَدَعَا لَهُ فَاسْتُشْهِدَ يَوْمَ الثَّامِنِ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘This is a servant whose heart has been Radiated by Allahazwj, and he has vision, so stick to it’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Supplicate to Allahazwj for me with the martyrdom’. Hesaww supplicated for him, and he was martyred on the eighth day’’.¹⁴⁰

140- وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجُبَعِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ نَقْلًا مِنْ خَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ قُدِّسَ سِرُّهُ قَالَ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّابِغَةِ الْجَعْدِيِّ قَالَ: أَنْشَدْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص شِعْرَ

بَلَغْنَا السَّمَاءَ مَجْدُنَا وَ جُدُودُنَا

وَ إِنَّا لَنَرْجُو فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ مَظْهَراً

I found in the handwriting of the sheykh Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Jubaie, copied from the handwriting of the martyr who said, ‘It is reported from Al-Nabiga Al-Ja’dy who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww prosed a couplet: ‘It has reached the sky, our praise and our ancestors, and we hope for appearance of above that’.

فَقَالَ أَيْنَ الْمَظْهَرُ يَا أَبَا لَيْلَى قُلْتُ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَ أَجَلْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ شِعْرَ

وَ لَا خَيْرَ فِي حِلْمٍ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ‏

بَوَادِرُ يَحْمِي صَفْوَهُ أَنْ يُكَدَّرَا

وَ لَا خَيْرَ فِي جَهْلٍ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ‏

حَلِيمٌ إِذَا مَا أَوْرَدَ الْأَمْرَ أَصْدَرَا

Hesaww said: ‘Where is the appearance, O Abu Layli?’ I said, ‘The Paradise’. Hesaww said: ‘Yes, if Allahazwj so Desires’. Then I said a poem, ‘And there is no good in a dream when there does not happen to be any gestures for it protecting its elites from being troubles, and there is no good in ignorance when there does not happen to be any forbearance for him, when whatever matter is referred to him, he issues judgment’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَجَدْتَ لَا يَفُضَّ اللَّهُ فَاكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ.

The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Well said! May Allahazwj Freshen your mouth twice’’.¹⁴¹

141- أَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنْهُ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ وَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادِ أَنَّ نَفَراً مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا فَقَالُوا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً لَيُخْبِرُنَا عَنِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مِنَ النَّعِيمِ لِأَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِهِ وَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مِنَ الْأَنْكَالِ وَ الْهَوَانِ لِأَعْدَائِهِ وَ أَهْلِ مَعْصِيَتِهِ فَلَوْ أَخْبَرَنَا بِآبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا وَ مَقْعَدِنَا مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ فَعَرَفْنَا الَّذِي يُبْنَى‏ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْعَاجِلِ وَ الْآجِلِ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘I found in the book of Suleym Bin Qays, from Aban Bin Abu Ayyash, from him, from Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra and Al-Miqdadra, that a number of the hypocrites gathered and they said, ‘Muhammad tends to inform us about the Paradise and what Allahazwj has Prepared therein from the Bounties for hissaww friends, and about the Fire and what Allahazwj has Prepared therein from the exemplary Punishments and the debasement for hissaww enemies and the people who disobey himsaww, so if only hesaww could inform us about our (late) forefathers and our foremothers, and our places in the Paradise and the Fire, then we would recognise what to build upon in the current (life) and the future (life)’.

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَأَمَرَ بِلَالًا فَنَادَى بِ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ حَتَّى غَصَّ الْمَسْجِدُ وَ تَضَايَقَ بِأَهْلِهِ فَخَرَجَ مُغْضَباً حَاسِراً عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ‏ أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ‏ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ رَبِّي

That reached Rasool-Allahsaww, so hesaww instructed Bilalra with (proclaiming Azaan) for the congregational Salat. The people gathered until the Masjid was full and it was straitened with its people. Hesaww came out angered, uncovering from hissaww forearms and hissaww knees until hesaww ascended the pulpit. Hesaww praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: I am a person like you [41:6]. Mysaww Lordazwj Reveals to mesaww.

فَاخْتَصَّنِي بِرِسَالَتِهِ وَ اصْطَفَانِي لِنُبُوَّتِهِ‏ وَ فَضَّلَنِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ وُلْدِ آدَمَ وَ أَطْلَعَنِي عَلَى مَا شَاءَ مِنْ غَيْبِهِ فَاسْأَلُونِي عَمَّا بَدَا لَكُمْ فَوَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يَسْأَلُنِي رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ وَ عَنْ مَقْعَدِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُهُ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِي يُخْبِرُنِي عَنْ رَبِّي فَاسْأَلُونِي

Heazwj Specialised mesaww with Hisazwj Message and Selected mesaww for Hisazwj Prophet-hood and Merited mesaww over the entirety of the children of Adamas, and Heazwj Notifies mesaww upon whatever Heazwj so Desires to from Hisazwj hidden matters, therefore ask mesaww about whatever comes to you. By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul! No man from you will ask me about his father and his mother and about his place from the Paradise and the Fire, except Isaww will inform him. This is Jibraeelas on mysaww right informing mesaww from mysaww Lordazwj, so ask mesaww!’

فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مُؤْمِنٌ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَنَا قَالَ أَنْتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ فَنَسَبَهُ إِلَى أَبِيهِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُدْعَى بِهِ فَجَلَسَ قَرِيرَةً عَيْنُهُ

A Momin man, loving Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, stood up and said, ‘O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj! Who am I?’ Hesaww said: ‘You are Abdullah Bin Ja’far’, and hesaww lineaged him to his father who was claiming him. He said down with delight in his eyes.

ثُمَّ قَامَ مُنَافِقٌ مَرِيضُ الْقَلْبِ مُبْغِضٌ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَنَا قَالَ أَنْتَ فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ رَاعٍ لِبَنِي عِصْمَةَ وَ هُمْ شَرُّ حَيٍّ فِي ثَقِيفٍ عَصَوُا اللَّهَ فَأَخْزَاهُمْ فَجَلَسَ وَ قَدْ أَخْزَاهُ اللَّهُ وَ فَضَحَهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ وَ كَانَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ لَا يَشُكُّ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ صِنْدِيدٌ مِنْ صَنَادِيدِ قُرَيْشٍ وَ نَابٌ مِنْ أَنْيَابِهِمْ

Then a hypocrite stood up, sick of the heart, hateful to Allahazwj and to Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who am I?’ Hesaww said: ‘You are so and so, son of so and so, a shepherd of the clan of Ismah, and they are the evilest of tribes among Saqeef, disobeying Allahazwj’. They shamed him and he sat down, and Allahazwj had Shamed him and Exposed him upon the heads of the ones present, and before that the people had no doubt that he was a valiant one from the valiant ones of Quraysh, and a representative from their representatives.

ثُمَّ قَامَ ثَالِثٌ مُنَافِقٌ‏ مَرِيضُ الْقَلْبِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَنَا أَمْ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ فِي النَّارِ وَ رَغْماً فَجَلَسَ قَدْ أَخْزَاهُ‏ اللَّهُ وَ فَضَحَهُ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ

Then a third one stood up, a hypocrite, sick of heart, and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Will I be in the Paradise or in the Fire?’ Hesaww said: ‘In the Fire’. He was spiteful and sat down, and Allahazwj had Shamed him and Exposed him over the heads of the ones present.

فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبّاً وَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً وَ بِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَبِيّاً وَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ غَضَبِ اللَّهِ وَ غَضَبِ رَسُولِهِ اعْفُ عَنَّا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكَ وَ اسْتُرْ سَتَرَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ عَنْ غَيْرِ هَذَا أَوْ تَطْلُبُ سِوَاهُ يَا عُمَرُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْعَفْوَ عَنْ أُمَّتِكَ

Umar Bin Al-Khattab stood up and said, ‘We are pleased with Allahazwj as Lordazwj and with Al Islam as Religion and with yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww, as a Prophetsaww, and we seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the Wrath of Allahazwj and anger of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. Pardon us, O Rasool-Allahazwj, may Allahazwj Pardon yousaww, and veil (us) and may Allahazwj Veil yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘About other than this, or are you seeking besides it, O Umar?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Excuse yoursaww community’.

فَقَامَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ انْسُبْنِي مَنْ أَنَا لِتَعْرِفَ النَّاسُ قَرَابَتِي مِنْكَ

Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws stood up and said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Lineage measws, who am Iasws, in order to induce to the people myasws relationship from yousaww’.

فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ خُلِقْتُ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ مِنْ عَمُودَيْنِ مِنْ نُورٍ مُعَلَّقَيْنِ مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ يُقَدِّسَانِ الْمَلِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْخَلْقَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ مِنْ ذَيْنِكَ الْعَمُودَيْنِ نُطْفَتَيْنِ بَيْضَاوَيْنِ مُلْتَوِيَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَقَلَ تِلْكَ النُّطْفَتَيْنِ فِي الْأَصْلَابِ الْكَرِيمَةِ إِلَى الْأَرْحَامِ الزَّكِيَّةِ الطَّاهِرَةِ حَتَّى جَعَلَ نِصْفَهَا فِي صُلْبِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ نِصْفَهَا فِي صُلْبِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Isaww and youasws have been Created from two pillars of Light (Noor), suspended from beneath the Throne, extolling the Holiness of the King from before Heazwj Created the creature by two thousand years. Then Heazwj Created from yourasws half of the two pillars, two twisted white seeds, then those two seed transferred into the honourable ribs to the pure wombs, the clean, until half of it was Made to in the Sulb of Abdullahasws and half of it in the Sulb of Abu Talibasws.

فَجُزْءٌ أَنَا وَ جُزْءٌ أَنْتَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ مِنَ الْماءِ بَشَراً فَجَعَلَهُ نَسَباً وَ صِهْراً وَ كانَ رَبُّكَ قَدِيراً

So, one part was Isaww and one part was youasws, and it is the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And He it is Who Created a person from the water, so He Made for him relationships of lineage and marriage; and your Lord was always Powerful [25:54].

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْكَ سِيطَ لَحْمُكَ بِلَحْمِي وَ دَمُكَ بِدَمِي وَ أَنْتَ السَّبَبُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِهِ بَعْدِي فَمَنْ جَحَدَ وَلَايَتَكَ قَطَعَ السَّبَبَ الَّذِي فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ كَانَ مَاضِياً فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ

O Aliasws! Youasws are from mesaww and Isaww am from youasws. Yourasws flesh is mingled with mysaww flesh, and yourasws blood with mysaww blood, and youasws are the cause regarding what is between Allahazwj and Hisazwj creatures after mesaww. The one who rejects yourasws Wilayah, the cause which is regarding what is between him and Allahazwj would be cut off and he would be going to the lowest levels (of Hell).

يَا عَلِيُّ مَا عُرِفَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِي ثُمَّ بِكَ مَنْ جَحَدَ وَلَايَتَكَ جَحَدَ اللَّهَ رُبُوبِيَّتَهُ

O Allahazwj! Allahazwj cannot be recognised except through mesaww, then through youasws. One who rejects yourasws Wilayah has rejected Allahazwj of Hisazwj Lordship.

‏ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ عَلَمُ اللَّهِ بَعْدِي الْأَكْبَرُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ أَنْتَ الرُّكْنُ الْأَكْبَرُ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَنِ اسْتَظَلَّ بِفَيْئِكَ كَانَ فَائِزاً لِأَنَّ حِسَابَ الْخَلَائِقِ إِلَيْكَ وَ مَآبَهُمْ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْمِيزَانَ مِيزَانُكَ وَ الصِّرَاطَ صِرَاطُكَ وَ الْمَوْقِفَ مَوْقِفُكَ وَ الْحِسَابَ حِسَابُكَ

O Aliasws! Youasws are the greatest Flag of Allahazwj after mesaww in the earth, and yourasws are the greatest support during the (Day of) Qiyamah. So, the one who is shaded (sheltered) by yourasws shade would be successful, because the Reckoning of the creatures is to youasws, and their end-result is to youasws, and the Scale is yourasws Scale, and the Bridge is yourasws Bridge, and the Pausing Station is yourasws Pausing Station, and the Reckoning is yourasws Reckoning.

فَمَنْ رَكَنَ إِلَيْكَ نَجَا وَ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ هَوَى وَ هَلَكَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ‏.

So, the one who inclines towards youasws attains salvation, and one who opposes youasws has deviated and destroyed. O Allahazwj! Be Witness! O Allahazwj! Be Witness!’ Then hesaww descended’’.¹⁴² (كتاب سليم بن قيس: 215 و 216)

142- أَبَانٌ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ: كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ إِذَا جَلَسَتْ فِي مَجَالِسِهَا فَرَأَتْ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ قَطَعَتْ حَدِيثَهَا فَبَيْنَمَا هِيَ جَالِسَةٌ إِذْ قَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ مَا مَثَلُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا مَثَلُ نَخْلَةٍ نَبَتَتْ فِي كُنَاسَةٍ

Aban, from Suleym, from Salmanra who said, ‘The Quraysh were seated in their gathering and they saw a man from the Peopleasws of the Household, so they cut off their discussion. While they were seated, a man from them said, ‘What is an example of Muhammadsaww among the Peopleasws of hissaww Household except a palm tree growing in the rubbish dump’.

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَغَضِبَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَأَتَى الْمِنْبَرَ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ أَنَا قَالُوا أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ

That reached Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww was angered. Then hesaww came to the pulpit and sat upon it until the people gathered. Then hesaww stood up and praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘O you people! Who am Isaww?’ They said, ‘Yousaww are Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’. Hesaww said: ‘Isaww am a Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, and Isaww am Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws Bin Hashimasws!’

ثُمَّ مَضَى فِي نَسَبِهِ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى نِزَارٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَلَا وَ إِنِّي وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي كُنَّا نُوراً نَسْعَى بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ النُّورُ إِذَا سَبَّحَ سَبَّحَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ لِتَسْبِيحِهِ

Then hesaww went on to lineage himselfsaww until hesaww ended up to Nizar, then said: ‘Indeed! And Isaww and the Peopleasws of mysaww Household were Lights (Noor) shining in front of Allahazwj before Allahazwj Created Adamas by two thousand years. That Light (Noor), when it glorified (Allahazwj), the Angels glorified to its glorification.

فَلَمَّا خَلَقَ آدَمَ وَضَعَ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ فِي صُلْبِهِ ثُمَّ أَهْبَطَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ ثُمَّ حَمَلَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ فِي صُلْبِ نُوحٍ ثُمَّ قَذَفَهُ فِي النَّارِ فِي صُلْبِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَنْقُلُنَا فِي أَكَارِمِ الْأَصْلَابِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَنَا مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الْمَعَادِنِ مَحْتِداً وَ أَكْرَمِ الْمَغَارِسِ مَنْبِتاً بَيْنَ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتِ لَمْ يَلْتَقِ‏ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى سِفَاحٍ قَطُّ

When Allahazwj Created Adamas, Heazwj Placed that Light (Noor) in hisas Sulb (ribs). Then Isaww descended to the earth in the Sulb of Adam. Then Isaww was carried in the ship in the Sulb of Noahas. Then Isaww was thrown into the fire in the Sulb of Ibrahimas. Then Heazwj did not cease to Transfer us in the honourable Sulbs until weasws came out from the superior carrier mines, and most honourable of the plants in growth between the fathers and the mothers. Not one of them adhered upon adultery at all.

أَلَا وَ نَحْنُ بَنُو عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ سَادَةُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ جَعْفَرٌ وَ حَمْزَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ الْمَهْدِيُّ

Indeed! And we the clan of Abdul Muttalibasws are the chiefs of the inhabitants of the Paradise – Isaww, and Aliasws, and Ja’farasws, and Hamzaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Mahdiasws.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ نَظَرَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ نَظْرَةً فَاخْتَارَ مِنْهَا رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَنَا فَبَعَثَنِي رَسُولًا وَ الْآخَرُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَهُ أَخاً وَ خَلِيلًا وَ وَزِيراً وَ وَصِيّاً وَ خَلِيفَةً

Indeed! And Allahazwj Looked at the people of the earth with a consideration and Chose two men from it – one of them being mesaww and Heazwj Sent mesaww as a Messengersaww, and the other being Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. And Heazwj Revealed to mesaww that Isaww take himasws as a brother, and a friend, and a Vizier, and a successor, and a caliph.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ بَعْدِي مَنْ وَالاهُ وَالاهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُ عَادَاهُ اللَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُهُ إِلَّا كَافِرٌ هُوَ زِرُّ الْأَرْضِ بَعْدِي وَ سَكَنُهَا وَ هُوَ كَلِمَةُ اللَّهِ التَّقْوَى وَ عُرْوَةُ اللَّهِ الْوُثْقَى‏

Indeed! And heasws is the guardian of every Momin after mesaww. One who befriends himasws, Allahazwj will Befriend himasws, and one who is inimical to himasws, Allahazwj will be Inimical to himasws. No one will love himasws except a Momin nor hate himasws except a Kafir. Heasws is the holder of the earth after mesaww, and its calmer, and heasws Allahazwj’s Word of piety, and the firmest Handhold of Allahazwj.

أَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تُطْفِئُوا نُورَ اللَّهِ بِأَفْوَاهِكُمْ‏ وَ اللَّهُ مُتِمُّ نُورِهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكافِرُونَ‏ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ نَظَرَ نَظْرَةً ثَانِيَةً فَاخْتَارَ بَعْدَنَا اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ وَصِيّاً مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَجَعَلَهُمْ خِيَارَ أُمَّتِي وَاحِداً بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ مِثْلَ النُّجُومِ فِي السَّمَاءِ كُلَّمَا غَابَ نَجْمٌ طَلَعَ نَجْمٌ

Are you intending to extinguish the Noor (Light) of Allahazwj with your mouths? but Allah will Complete His Light, and even if the Kafirs abhor it [61:8]. Indeed! And Allahazwj looked with a second Consideration and Chose twelve successors to be after us from the Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and Made themasws as the best ones of mysaww community, one after one, like the starts in the sky. Every time a star disappears, then a star emerges.

هُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ هُدَاةٌ مُهْتَدُونَ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ كَيْدُ مَنْ كَادَهُمْ وَ لَا خِذْلَانُ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ هُمْ حُجَجُ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ شُهَدَاؤُهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ خُزَّانُ عِلْمِهِ‏ وَ تَرَاجِمَةُ وَحْيِهِ وَ مَعَادِنُ حِكْمَتِهِ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَاهُمْ عَصَى اللَّهَ هُمْ مَعَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْقُرْآنُ مَعَهُمْ لَا يُفَارِقُونَهُ حَتَّى يَرِدُوا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ

Theyasws are the Imamsasws of guidance, Guided. Neither can a plot from their plots harm them, nor the abandonment from their abandonments. Theyasws are the Divine Authorities of Allahazwj in Hisazwj earth and Hisazwj witnessed upon Hisazwj creatures, treasurers of Hisazwj Knowledge and the interpreters of Hisazwj Revelation, and mines of Hisazwj Wisdom. One who obeys themasws obeys Allahazwj and one who disobeys themasws disobeys Allahazwj. Theyasws are with the Quran and the Quran is with them, theyasws will not separate from it until theyasws return to mesaww at the Fountain.

فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّات.

So, let the one present deliver it to absentee. O Allahazwj! Be Witness!’ (three times)’’.¹⁴³

‘From Ayesha who said, ‘When Ibrahimas died the Prophetsaww cried until hissaww tears flowed upon hissaww beard. It was said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Allahazwj has Forbidden from the crying and yousaww are crying?’ Hesaww said: ‘This isn’t crying, but rather this is a Mercy, and one who does not have mercy will not be mercied’’.¹⁴⁴

(The book) ‘Qurb Al-Asnaad’ – ‘Haroun, from Ibn Sadaqa,

‘From Ja’farasws from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘There were born for Rasool-Allahsaww from Khadeejaasws – Al-Qasimas, and Al-Tahiras, and Umm Kulsoomas, and Ruqaiyyaas and Fatimaas, and Zaynabas.

فَتَزَوَّجَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ تَزَوَّجَ أَبُو الْعَاصِ بْنُ رَبِيعَةَ وَ هُوَ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ زَيْنَبَ وَ تَزَوَّجَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ أُمَّ كُلْثُومٍ وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا حَتَّى هَلَكَتْ وَ زَوَّجَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَكَانَهَا رُقَيَّةَ

Aliasws married Fatimaasws, and Abu Al Aas Bin Rabie (and he was from the clan of Umayya) married Zaynabas, and Usman Bin Affan married Umm Kulsoomas and he did not copulate with her until she died, and Rasool-Allahsaww got him married to Ruqayyaas in her place.

ثُمَّ وُلِدَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ هِيَ مَارِيَةُ الْقِبْطِيَّةُ أَهْدَاهَا إِلَيْهِ صَاحِبُ الْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ مَعَ الْبَغْلَةِ الشَّهْبَاءِ وَ أَشْيَاءَ مَعَهَا.

Then there was born for Rasool-Allahsaww from mother of Ibrahimas, Ibrahimas, and she is Mariah       the Coptic. She was gifted to himsaww by the ruler of Alexandria along with the mule (called) Al Ahahba’a and (many) things along with her’’.¹⁴⁵

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘There were born for Rasool-Allahsaww from Khadeejaas – Al Qasimas, and Al Tahir and he is Abdullah, and Umm Kulsoomas, and Ruqaiyaas, and Zaynabas and Fatimaas; and Ali Bin Abu Talibasws married Fatimaasws, and Abu Al Aas Bin Al Rabie (and he was from the clan of Umayya), and Usman Bin Affan married Umm Kulsoom. She died and he had not copulated with her. When they travelled to Badr, Rasool-Allahsaww married him to Ruqaiya, and Ibrahimas born for Rasool-Allahsaww from Mariah the Coptic, and she is Umm Ibrahim mother of the child’’.¹⁴⁶

ولد بعالية في قبيلة مازن في مشربة أم إبراهيم و يقال ولد بالمدينة سنة ثمان من الهجرة و مات بها و له سنة و عشرة أشهر و ثمانية أيام و قبره بالبقيع

Heas was born in the tribe of Mazan in the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim, and it is said heas was born at Al Medina in the year eight from the Emigration and died at it and for himas were one year the ten months and eight day, and hisas grave is at Al Baqie (cemetery).

و في الأنوار و الكشف و اللمع و كتاب البلاذري أن زينب و رقية كانتا ربيبتيه من جحش فأما القاسم و الطيب فماتا بمكة صغيرين

And in (the books) ‘Al Anwaar’, and ‘Al Kashf’, and Al Lam’a’, and the book of Al Balazury – ‘Zaynabas and Ruqaiyaas were brought up from Jahsh. As for Al Qasimas and Al Tayyibas, they both died at Makkah when young.

قال مجاهد مكث القاسم سبع ليال و أما زينب فكانت عند أبي العاص القاسم بن الربيع فولدت أم كلثوم و تزوج بها علي و كان أبو العاص أسر يوم بدر فمن عليه النبي ص و أطلقه من غير فداء و أتت زينب الطائف ثم أتت النبي ص بالمدينة فقدم أبو العاص المدينة فأسلم و ماتت زينب بالمدينة بعد مصير النبي ص إليها بسبع سنين و شهرين

Mujahid said, ‘Al Qasimas remained (lived) for seven nights, and as for Zaynabas, she was with Abu al Aas Al Qasim Bin Al Rabie. Umm Kulsoomas was born and Aliasws married her; and Abu Al Aas was a captive on the day of Badr, and the Prophetsaww conferred upon him and freed him from without any ransom, and Zaynabas came to Al Taif, then she came to the Prophetsaww at Al Medina. Then Abu Al Aas arrived at Al Medina and became a Muslim, and Zaynabas died at Al Medina after the Prophetsaww made hissaww destination to it, by seven years and two months.

و أما رقية فتزوجها عتبة و أم كلثوم تزوجها عتيق و هما ابنا أبي لهب فطلقاهما فتزوج عثمان رقية بالمدينة و ولدت له عبد الله صبيا لم يجاوز ست سنين و كان ديك نقره على عينه فمات و بعدها أم كلثوم و لا عقب للنبي ص إلا من ولد فاطمة ع‏.

And as for Ruqayyaas, Utbah married her, and Umm Kulsoom, Ateeq married her and they were both sons of Abu Lahabla, and they divorced them. Usman married Ruqaiyyaas at Al Medina and Abdullah was born for him, and child who did not exceed six years, and a rooster had bit him upon his eyes and he died, and after it Umm Kulsoomas; and there is no posterity for the Prophetsaww except from the children of Fatimaasws’’.¹⁴⁷

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘Why no son remained for Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Because Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created Muhammadsaww as a Prophetsaww, and Aliasws as a successorasws. If there had been a son for Rasool-Allahsaww from after himsaww, he would have been foremost with Rasool-Allahazwj than Amir Al-Momineenasws and the successorship of Amir Al-Momineenasws would not have been proven’’.¹⁴⁹

(The books) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub (and) Tafseer Al Naqqash, by his chain from Sufyan Al Sowry, from Qabous Bin Abu Zabyan, from his father, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘There were with the Prophetsaww and upon hissaww left thigh hissaww sonas Ibrahimas, and upon hissaww right thigh Al-Husaynasws Bin Aliasws, and hesaww was at times kissing this one and at times kissing this one, when Jibraeelas descended with a Revelation from Lordazwj of the worlds.

فَلَمَّا سُرِّيَ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَتَانِي جَبْرَئِيلُ مِنْ رَبِّي فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَسْتُ أَجْمَعُهُمَا فَافْدِ أَحَدَهُمَا بِصَاحِبِهِ

When hesaww had been divulged with secrets from himas, hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas came to mesaww from mysaww Lordazwj and said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj Conveys the Greetings to yousaww and Says: “Iazwj will not Gather both of them. Iazwj will Ransom one of them with his counterpart”.

فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَبَكَى وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ فَبَكَى وَ قَالَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أُمُّهُ أَمَةٌ وَ مَتَى مَاتَ لَمْ يَحْزَنْ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرِي وَ أُمُّ الْحُسَيْنِ فَاطِمَةُ وَ أَبُوهُ عَلِيٌّ ابْنُ عَمِّي لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي وَ مَتَى مَاتَ حَزِنَتِ ابْنَتِي وَ حَزِنَ ابْنُ عَمِّي وَ حَزِنْتُ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنَا أُوثِرُ حُزْنِي عَلَى حُزْنِهِمَا يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يُقْبَضُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ فَدَيْتُهُ لِلْحُسَيْنِ

The Prophetsaww looked at Ibrahimas and cried, and looked at Al-Husaynasws and cried, and said: ‘Ibrahimsaww, hisas mother is a maid, and when heas dies there will not cry upon himas apart from mesaww, and motherasws of Al-Husaynasws is (Syeda) Fatimaasws and hisasws fatherasws is Aliasws, and sonasws of mysaww uncleas, mysaww flesh and mysaww blood, and when heasws dies mysaww daughterasws will grieve, and mysaww cousinasws will grieve, and Isaww will grieve upon himasws, and Isaww prefer mysaww grief over both their griefs, O Jibraeelas’. Ibrahimas passed away as ransom for Al-Husaynasws.

قَالَ فَقُبِضَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا رَأَى الْحُسَيْنَ مُقْبِلًا قَبَّلَهُ وَ ضَمَّهُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ رَشَفَ ثَنَايَاهُ وَ قَالَ فُدِيتُ مَنْ فَدَيْتُهُ بِابْنِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heas passed away after three (days), and it was so that whenever hesaww saw Al-Husaynasws coming, would kiss himasws and hug himasws to hissaww chest and touch hisasws cheeks and say: ‘A ransom of the Oneazwj Who Ransomed himasws with mysaww son Ibrahimas’’.¹⁵⁰

Tafseer Al-Qummi - O you who believe! If a transgressor comes to you with news, then investigate, lest you harm a people in ignorance, and you would become remorseful upon what you have done [49:6] – It was Revealed regarding Mariah the Coptic, mother of Ibrahimas, and the reason for that is that Ayesha said to Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Ibrahimas isn’t from yousaww and rather heas is from Jareeh the Coptic, for he tends to go to her every day’.

فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ خُذِ السَّيْفَ وَ ائْتِنِي بِرَأْسِ جَرِيحٍ فَأَخَذَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع السَّيْفَ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي فِي أَمْرٍ أَكُونُ فِيهِ كَالسَّفُّودِ الْمُحْمَى فِي الْوَبَرِ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنِي أَتَثَبَّتُ فِيهِ أَمْ أَمْضِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ

Rasool-Allahsaww was angered and said to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘Take this sword and bring me the head of Jareeh’. Amir Al-Momineenasws took the sword, then said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww, whenever yousaww sent regarding any matter Iasws become in it like the protective blade in the fur, so how come yousaww are instructing measws to prove it, or shall Iasws accomplish upon that?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَلْ تَثَبَّتْ فَجَاءَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى مَشْرَبَةِ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَتَسَلَّقَ‏ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ جَرِيحٌ هَرَبَ مِنْهُ وَ صَعِدَ النَّخْلَةَ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ انْزِلْ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِيُّ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ مَا هَاهُنَا بَأْسٌ إِنِّي مَجْبُوبٌ ثُمَّ كَشَفَ عَنْ عَوْرَتِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَجْبُوبٌ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to himasws: ‘But prove (it first)’. So, Amir Al-Momineenasws came to the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim and climbed upon it. When Jareeh looked at himasws, he fled from himasws and climbed the palm tree. Amir Al-Momineenasws went near him and said to him: ‘Descend!’ He said to himasws, ‘O Aliasws! Fear Allahazwj, there is no problem over here. I am a eunuch’. Then he uncovered from his nakedness, and there he was, a eunuch.

فَأَتَى بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مَا شَأْنُكَ يَا جَرِيحُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ الْقِبْطَ يَجُبُّونَ حَشَمَهُمْ وَ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى أَهَالِيهِمْ وَ الْقِبْطِيُّونَ لَا يَأْنَسُونَ إِلَّا بِالْقِبْطِيِّينَ فَبَعَثَنِي أَبُوهَا لِأَدْخُلَ إِلَيْهَا وَ أَخْدُمَهَا وَ أُونِسَهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنْ جاءَكُمْ فاسِقٌ بِنَبَإٍ الْآيَةَ.

Heasws came with him to Rasool-Allahsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘What is your occupation, O Jareeh?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The Coptics tend to castrate their servants and the ones who tent to enter to their wives, and the Coptics are not comforted except from (their fellow) Coptics. So, her father sent me to enter to her and serve her and comfort her’. So, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed: O you who believe! If a transgressor comes to you with news, [49:6] – the Verse’’.¹⁵¹

9- وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ رُشَيْدٍ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ الْقِبْطِيِّ وَ قَدْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ كَذَبَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَوْ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ وَ إِنَّمَا دَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْقِبْطِيِّ الْقَتْلَ بِتَثَبُّتِ عَلِيٍّ

And in a report of Ubeydullah Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Rusheyd, from Marwan Bin Muslim, from Abdullah bin Bukeyr who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws! May I be sacrificed for youasws! Rasool-Allahsaww had ordered with the killing of the Coptic and did hesaww know that he had been belied upon or not know, and rather Allahazwj Defended the Coptic (from being) killed by the proof of Aliasws?’

فَقَالَ بَلَى قَدْ كَانَ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِمَ وَ لَوْ كَانَ عَزِيمَةً مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْقَتْلُ مَا رَجَعَ عَلِيٌّ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَهُ وَ لَكِنْ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِتَرْجِعَ عَنْ ذَنْبِهَا فَمَا رَجَعَتْ وَ لَا اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهَا قَتْلُ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِكَذِبِهَا.

Heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, hesaww did know, and had the killing been determined from Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws would not have returned until heasws had killed him. But rather, Rasool-Allahsaww did so for her (Ayesha) to return from her sin, but she did not return, nor was the killing of a Muslim man severe upon her, due to her lying’’.¹⁵²

10- ل، الخصال فِيمَا احْتَجَّ بِهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَلَى أَهْلِ الشُّورَى قَالَ: نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَيْسَ مِنْكَ وَ إِنَّهُ ابْنُ فُلَانٍ الْقِبْطِيِّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ اذْهَبْ فَاقْتُلْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي أَكُونُ كَالْمِسْمَارِ الْمُحْمَى فِي الْوَبَرِ أَوْ أَتَثَبَّتُ قَالَ لَا بَلْ تَثَبَّتْ

(The book) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – ‘Among what Amir Al-Momineenasws argued with against the people of the consultation (council), heasws said: ‘We adjure you all with Allahazwj! Don’t you all know that Ayesha said to Rasool-Allahsaww: ‘Ibrahimas isn’t from yousaww and heas is a son of so and so the Coptic’. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Go and kill him’. Iasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Whenever yousaww send measws Iasws tend to become like the protective nail in the fur, or shall I prove it (first)?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, but prove (it first)’.

فَذَهَبْتُ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ اسْتَنَدَ إِلَى حَائِطٍ فَطَرَحَ نَفْسَهُ فِيهِ فَطَرَحْتُ نَفْسِي عَلَى أَثَرِهِ فَصَعِدَ عَلَى نَخْلٍ وَ صَعِدْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي قَدْ صَعِدْتُ رَمَى بِإِزَارِهِ فَإِذَا لَيْسَ لَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِمَّا يَكُونُ لِلرِّجَالِ فَجِئْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَرَفَ عَنَّا السُّوءَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

So, Iasws went. When he looked at measws climbing upon a wall, he threw himself into it. So Iasws dropped myselfasws upon his footsteps and he climbed upon a palm tree, and Iasws climbed after him. When he saw me to have climbed, he threw off his trouser, and there he was, there wasn’t anything for him from what tends to be for the men. So, I came and informed Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Turned away the evil from usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household’’.

فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ لَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ.

They said, ‘O Allahazwj, no!’ Heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj, be Witness!’’.¹⁵³

[24:11] – The general Muslims reported that it was Revealed regarding Ayesha and what she was accused with during the military expedition of the clan of Al-Mustaliq from Khuza’a, and as for the special Muslims (Shias), they reported that it was Revealed regarding Mariah the Coptic and what she had been accused with by Ayesha’’.¹⁵⁴

12- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‏ لَمَّا هَلَكَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَزِنَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حُزْناً شَدِيداً فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا الَّذِي يَحْزُنُكَ عَلَيْهِ فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا ابْنُ جَرِيحٍ

It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘When Ibrahimas sonas of Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, Rasool-Allahsaww grieved upon himas with intense grief. Ayesha said, ‘What is which makes yousaww grieve upon himas, for heas is not except the son of Jareeh’.

فَبَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيّاً ع وَ أَمَرَهُ بِقَتْلِهِ فَذَهَبَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَعَهُ السَّيْفُ وَ كَانَ جَرِيحٌ الْقِبْطِيُّ فِي حَائِطٍ فَضَرَبَ عَلِيٌ‏ بَابَ الْبُسْتَانِ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ جَرِيحٌ لِيَفْتَحَ لَهُ الْبَابَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَلِيّاً عَرَفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ الشَّرَّ فَأَدْبَرَ رَاجِعاً وَ لَمْ يَفْتَحِ الْبَابَ فَوَثَبَ عَلِيٌّ عَلَى الْحَائِطِ وَ نَزَلَ إِلَى الْبُسْتَانِ وَ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ وَلَّى جَرِيحٌ مُدْبِراً

Rasool-Allahsaww sent Aliasws and instructed himasws with killing him. So Aliasws went to him and the sword was with himasws, and Jareeh the Coptic was in a garden. Aliasws knocked on the door of the orchard and Jareeh came to open the door for himasws. When he saw Aliasws he recognised the evil (anger) in hisasws face, so he turned back returning and did not open the door. Aliasws jumped over the wall and descended in the orchard and pursued him, and Jareeh turned around fleeing.

فَلَمَّا خَشِيَ أَنْ يُرْهِقَهُ صَعِدَ فِي نَخْلَةٍ وَ صَعِدَ عَلِيٌّ فِي أَثَرِهِ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ رَمَى جَرِيحٌ بِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ فَوْقِ النَّخْلَةِ فَبَدَتْ عَوْرَتُهُ فَإِذَا لَيْسَ لَهُ مَا لِلرِّجَالِ وَ لَا لَهُ مَا لِلنِّسَاءِ

When he feared that heasws would outrun him, he climbed up a palm tree and Aliasws climbed in his tracks. When heasws was near from him, Jareeh threw himself from the top of the palm tree and his nakedness was exposed, and there wasn’t for him what tends to be for the men, nor was there for him what tends to be for the women.

فَانْصَرَفَ عَلِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي فِي الْأَمْرِ أَكُونُ فِيهِ كَالْمِسْمَارِ الْمُحْمَى‏ أَمْ أَثَّبَّتُ قَالَ لَا بَلِ اثَّبَّتْ‏ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ مَا لَهُ مَا لِلرِّجَالِ وَ مَا لَهُ مَا لِلنِّسَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَرَفَ عَنَّا السُّوءَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ‏.

Aliasws left to go to the Prophetsaww and said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Whenever yousaww send me regarding the (any) matter, Iasws tend to be in it like the protective nail, or shall Iasws prove (it first)’. He said, ‘No, but prove it (first)’. Heasws said: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth, there is not for him what tends to be for the men, and there is not for him what tends to be for the women’. Hesaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Turned away the evil from usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household’’.¹⁵⁵

13- سن، المحاسن أَبُو سُمَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‏ لَمَّا قُبِضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص جَرَتْ فِي مَوْتِهِ ثَلَاثُ سُنَنٍ أَمَّا وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِنَّهُ لَمَّا قُبِضَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ لِمَوْتِ ابْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

(The book) ‘Al Mahaasin’ – Abu Sumeena, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws saying: ‘When Ibrahimas sonas of Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, three Sunnahs flowed with regards to it. As for one - so when heas passed away the sun was eclipsed, and the people said, ‘The sun is eclipsed due to Rasool-Allahsaww losing a son’.

فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ‏ وَ الْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْرِيَانِ‏ بِأَمْرِهِ مُطِيعَانِ لَهُ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَ لَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَا أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا صَلُّوا

Rasool-Allahsaww ascended the Pulpit, and hesaww praised Allahazwj lauded Himazwj, then said: ‘O you people! The sun and the mon are two Signs of Allahazwj from the Signs of Allahazwj, both flowing by Hisazwj Command, obedient to Himazwj. They do not get eclipsed for the death of anyone nor for his life. Thus, if both of them were to be eclipsed, or one of the two, so pray Salat’.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ الْكُسُوفَ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ قُمْ فَجَهِّزِ ابْنِي قَالَ فَقَامَ عَلِيٌّ فَغَسَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ كَفَّنَهُ وَ حَنَّطَهُ‏ وَ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى انْتَهَى بِهِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ

Then hesaww descended from the Pulpit and hesaww prayed Salat with the people, Salat of the eclipse. When hesaww greeted, said: ‘O Aliasws! Arise and prepare mysaww sonas!’ Aliasws arose and washed Ibrahimas, and enshrouded himas, and embalmed himas, and Rasool-Allahsaww went until hesaww ended up with himas to hisas grave.

فَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَسِيَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى ابْنِهِ لِمَا دَخَلَهُ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ عَلَيْهِ فَانْتَصَبَ قَائِماً ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي وَ أَخْبَرَنِي بِمَا قُلْتُمْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنِّي نَسِيتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ عَلَى ابْنِي لِمَا دَخَلَنِي مِنَ الْجَزَعِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَمَا ظَنَنْتُمْ وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّطِيفَ الْخَبِيرَ فَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ خَمْسَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ جَعَلَ لِمَوْتَاكُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أُصَلِّيَ إِلَّا عَلَى مَنْ صَلَّى

The people said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww forgot to pray Salat upon Ibrahimas when the panic entered upon himsaww. Hesaww stood up straight, then said: ‘O you people! Jibraeelas came to mesaww with what you all said. You are alleging that Isaww forgot to pray Salat upon mysaww sonas due to what entered into mesaww from the panic. Indeed! And it is not as you are thinking it to be, but the Kind, the Informed Necessitated five Salats upon you, and Made to be upon your deceased, one Takbeer from each Salat, and Commanded mesaww that Isaww should not pray Salat except upon the one who did pray Salat’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ انْزِلْ وَ أَلْحِدِ ابْنِي فَنَزَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَلْحَدَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي لَحْدِهِ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ فِي قَبْرِ وَلَدِهِ إِذْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِابْنِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِحَرَامٍ أَنْ تَنْزِلُوا فِي قُبُورِ أَوْلَادِكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ‏ لَسْتُ آمَنُ إِذَا حَلَّ أَحَدُكُمُ الْكَفَنَ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ أَنْ يَلْعَبَ بِهِ الشَّيْطَانُ فَيَدْخُلَهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ‏ مِنَ الْجَزَعِ مَا يُحْبِطُ أَجْرَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ‏.

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Descend and (dig the) chasm (Lahad) for mysaww sonas’. Heas laid Ibrahimas in hisas chasm (Lahad). The people said, ‘It is not befitting for anyone that he should descend in a grave of his son, when Rasool-Allahsaww did not do so’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O you people! It is not Prohibited upon you that you should be descending into the graves of your children, but there is no security if one of you were to loosen the shroud from his son if the Satanla were to play with him, so the panic would enter upon him what would cause his Recompense to be confiscated’. Then hesaww left’’.¹⁵⁶

‘I was with Abu Abdullahasws when hisasws son died. Heasws descended into his grave, then threw himselfasws upon the ground from what follows the Qiblah, then heasws said: ‘This is how Rasool-Allahsaww had done with Ibrahimas’’.¹⁵⁷

Al Kafi – The number, from Sahl, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Al Qaddah,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The Prophetas heard a woman, when Usman Bin Mazoun died, and she was saying, ‘Congratulations to you, O Abu Al-Saib, of the Paradise!’ The Prophetsaww said: ‘And what is your knowledge? It would suffice you to that you should be saying, ‘He used to love Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’.

فَلَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص هَمَلَتْ عَيْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بِالدُّمُوعِ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنُ وَ يَحْزَنُ الْقَلْبُ وَ لَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ وَ إِنَّا بِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُونُونَ

When Ibrahimas, sonas of Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, the eyes of Rasool-Allahsaww filled with tears. Then the Prophetsaww said: ‘The eyes are tearful and the heart is grieving and wesaww are not saying what would Anger the Lordazwj, and Isaww am with youas, O Ibrahimas, grieving’.

ثُمَّ رَأَى النَّبِيُّ ص فِي قَبْرِهِ خَلَلًا فَسَوَّاهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا عَمِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَلًا فَلْيُتْقِنْ ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَقْ بِسَلَفِكَ الصَّالِحِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ‏.

Then the Prophetsaww saw a flaw in hisas grave, so hesaww evened it with hissaww hand, then said: ‘When one of you does something, so let him be proficient in it’. Then hesaww said: ‘Join with youras righteous ancestor Usman Bin Mazoun’’.¹⁵⁹

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Hilal, from Uqba Bin Khalid who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws, ‘We tend to go to the Masjids which are around Al-Medina, so with which of these should I begin?’

Heasws said: ‘Begin with (Masjid) Quba and pray Salat therein and frequent for it is the first Masjid Rasool-Allahsaww prayed Salat in it, in this area, then go to the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim, for it is a dwelling of Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww praying place’’.¹⁶⁰

(The book) ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’ – ‘It is reported by Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Ash’ary, from Al Sindy Bin Muhammad, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abu Maryam mentioning from his father,

‘Amama Bint Abu Al-Aas and her mother Zaynabas daughter of Rasool-Allahsaww were both under Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws after the expiry (Shahadat) of (Syeda) Fatimaasws. There was a replacement upon her after Aliasws, (by) Al-Mugheira Bin Nowfal. He mentioned that she had severe pain until her tongue was seized. Al-Hassanasws and Al Husaynasws, two sonsasws of Aliasws came to her and she was not able to speak, and theyasws went on to say for her, and Al Mugheira disliked due to that so and freed so and so and his wife. She went on to gesture with her head, ‘No to such and such’, and went on to gesture with her head, ‘Yes’, not disclosing the speech. He allowed that for her’’.¹⁶¹

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Aasim Bin Humeyd Bin Humeyd, from Yazeed Bin Khaleefa who said,

‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, and a man from the people of Qum asked himasws, ‘Can the women pray Salat upon the deceased?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ رَمَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَكَسَرَ رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَ شَقَّ شَفَتَيْهِ وَ كَذَبَ وَ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ حَمْزَةَ وَ كَذَبَ

Heasws said: ‘Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-Aas claimed that he hit Rasool-Allahsaww and broke hissaww teeth and split hissaww lips, and he lied, and he claimed that he killed Hamzaas, and he lied.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْخَنْدَقِ ضُرِبَ عَلَى أُذُنَيْهِ فَنَامَ فَلَمْ يَسْتَيْقِظْ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ فَخَشِيَ أَنْ يُؤْخَذَ فَتَنَكَّرَ وَ تَقَنَّعَ بِثَوْبِهِ وَ جَاءَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ عُثْمَانَ يَطْلُبُهُ وَ تُسَمَّى بِاسْمِ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ كَانَ يَجْلِبُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ الْخَيْلَ وَ الْغَنَمَ وَ السَّمْنَ

When it was the day of (battle of) Al-Khandaq, he was struck (a veil) upon his ears and he slept and did not wake up until morning. He thought that he would be seized and he disliked, and he covered with his clothes and came to the house of Usmna seeking him and named with a man from the clan of Suleym who used to bring the horse, and the sheep and the butter to Usman.

فَجَاءَ عُثْمَانُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ مَنْزِلَهُ وَ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ مَا صَنَعْتَ ادَّعَيْتَ أَنَّكَ رَمَيْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ ادَّعَيْتَ أَنَّكَ شَقَقْتَ شَفَتَيْهِ وَ كَسَرْتَ رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَ ادَّعَيْتَ أَنَّكَ قَتَلْتَ حَمْزَةَ وَ أَخْبَرَهُ بِمَا لَقِيَ وَ أَنَّهُ ضُرِبَ عَلَى أُذُنِهِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتِ ابْنَةُ النَّبِيِّ ص بِمَا صَنَعَ بِأَبِيهَا وَ عَمِّهَا صَاحَتْ فَأَسْكَتَهَا عُثْمَانُ

Usman came and entered him into his house and said, ‘Woe be unto you! What have you done! You claimed that you hit Rasool-Allahsaww and claimed that you split hissaww lips and broke hissaww teeth, and claimed that you killed Hamzaas?’ And he informed him that he had been struck (a veil) upon his ears. When the daughteras of the Prophetsaww (Ruqaiyyaas) heard with what he had done with heras fathersaww and heras uncleas, sheas shouted. Usman quietened heras.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ بِوَجْهِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ آمَنْتَ عَمِّيَ الْمُغِيرَةَ فَكَذَبَ‏ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَهُ مِنَ الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ آمَنْتَ عَمِّيَ الْمُغِيرَةَ فَكَذَبَ‏ فَصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ‏

Then Usman went out to Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww was seated in the Masjid, and faced himasws with his face and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww granted amnesty to my uncle Al Mugheira and he lied’. Rasool-Allahsaww turned hissaww face away from him. Then he faced himsaww from another side and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww granted amnesty to my uncle Al Mugheira, and he lied’. Rasool-Allahsaww turned hissaww face away from him.

ثُمَّ قَالَ آمَنَّاهُ وَ أَجَّلْنَاهُ ثَلَاثاً فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَعْطَاهُ رَاحِلَةً أَوْ رَحْلًا أَوْ قَتَباً أَوْ سِقَاءً أَوْ قِرْبَةً أَوْ دَلْواً أَوْ خُفّاً أَوْ نَعْلًا أَوْ زَاداً أَوْ مَاءً

Then hesaww said: ‘Isaww granted him amnesty and respited him for three (days). May Allahazwj Curse the one who gives him a riding animal, or a saddle, or a tent, or a watering, or a canteen, or a bucket, or shoes, or slippers, or provision or water’’.

قَالَ عَاصِمٌ هَذِهِ عَشَرَةُ أَشْيَاءَ فَأَعْطَاهَا كُلَّهَا إِيَّاهُ عُثْمَانُ فَخَرَجَ فَسَارَ عَلَى نَاقَتِهِ فَنَقِبَتْ‏ ثُمَّ مَشَى فِي خُفَّيْهِ فَنَقِبَا ثُمَ‏ مَشَى فِي نَعْلَيْهِ فَنَقِبَتَا ثُمَّ مَشَى عَلَى رِجْلَيْهِ فَنَقِبَتَا ثُمَّ مَشَى‏عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ فَنَقِبَتَا فَأَتَى شَجَرَةً فَجَلَسَ تَحْتَهَا

Aasim (the narrator) said, ‘These are ten things, and Usman had given him all ten of these. He had gone out and travelled upon his camel, then walked in his shoes, and he punctured it, then walked in his slippers and punctured it, then he walked upon his legs and got injured, then he walked upon his knees and injured these. Then he came to a tree and sat under it.

فَجَاءَ الْمَلَكُ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِمَكَانِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص زَيْداً وَ الزُّبَيْرَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا ائْتِيَاهُ فَهُوَ فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَاقْتُلَاهُ فَلَمَّا أَتَيَاهُ‏ قَالَ زَيْدٌ لِلزُّبَيْرِ إِنَّهُ ادَّعَى أَنَّهُ قَتَلَ أَخِي وَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص آخَى بَيْنَ حَمْزَةَ وَ زَيْداً فَاتْرُكْنِي أَقْتُلْهُ فَتَرَكَهُ الزُّبَيْرُ فَقَتَلَهُ

The Angel came and informed Rasool-Allahsaww of his place. Rasool-Allahsaww sent Zayd and Al Zubeyr to him and said to them: ‘Go to him and he is in such and such place, and kill him’. When they came to him, Zayd said to Al Zubeyr, ‘He has claimed that he killed my brother (Hamzaas)’ - and Rasool-Allahsaww had established brother-hood between Hamzaas and Zayd –‘So, leave me, I will kill him’. So, Al Zubeyr left him, and he killed him.

فَرَجَعَ عُثْمَانُ مِنْ عِنْدِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ إِنَّكِ أَرْسَلْتِ إِلَى أَبِيكِ فَأَعْلَمْتِهِ بِمَكَانِ عَمِّي فَحَلَفَتْ لَهُ بِاللَّهِ مَا فَعَلَتْ فَلَمْ يُصَدِّقْهَا فَأَخَذَ خَشَبَةَ الْقَتَبِ فَضَرَبَهَا ضَرْباً مُبَرِّحاً فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَى أَبِيهَا تَشْكُو ذَلِكَ وَ تُخْبِرُهُ بِمَا صَنَعَ

Usman returned from the presence of the Prophetsaww and said to his wife (Ruqaiyyaas daughter of Rasool-Allahsaww), ‘Youas sent a message to youras fathersaww and let himsaww know with the place of my uncle’. Sheas swore to him, ‘By Allahazwj! Ias have not done it’. But he did not ratify her, and grabbed a wooden log and hit heras with a violent strike. So sheas sent a message to heras fathersaww complaining of that and sheas informed himsaww with what he had done.

فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا إِنِّي لَأَسْتَحِي لِلْمَرْأَةِ أَنْ لَا تَزَالَ تَجُرُّ ذُيُولَهَا تَشْكُو زَوْجَهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ قَدْ قَتَلَنِي فَقَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ خُذِ السَّيْفَ ثُمَّ ائْتِ بِنْتَ عَمِّكَ فَخُذْ بِيَدِهَا فَمَنْ حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهَا فَاضْرِبْهُ بِالسَّيْفِ

Hesaww sent a message to heras: ‘Isaww am embarrassed for a woman who does not cease to drag her hair complaining of her husband’. Sheas sent a message to him, ‘He has (almost) killed meas’. Hesaww said to Aliasws: ‘Take the sword, then go to the daughter of yourasws unclesaww and grab heras hand. Anyone stands between youasws and heras, strike him with the sword’.

فَدَخَلَ‏ عَلِيٌّ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِهَا فَجَاءَ بِهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَرَتْهُ ظَهْرَهَا فَقَالَ أَبُوهَا قَتَلَهَا قَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ فَمَكَثَتْ يَوْماً وَ مَاتَتْ فِي الثَّانِي وَ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ لِلصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهَا فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ بَيْتِهِ وَ عُثْمَانُ جَالِسٌ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَلَمَّ جَارِيَتَهُ‏ اللَّيْلَةَ فَلَا يَشْهَدْ جَنَازَتَهَا

Aliasws entered (heras house) and grabbed heras hand and came with heras to the Prophetsaww. Sheas showed himsaww heras back. Heras fathersaww said: ‘He has killed her, may Allahazwj Kill him’. Sheas lived for one day and died during the second; and the people gathered for the Salat. Rasool-Allahsaww came out from hissaww house and Usman was seated with the people. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who inflicted pain on his maid (wife) at night should not attend heras funeral’.

قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ هُوَ سَاكِتٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَيَقُومَنَّ أَوْ لَأُسَمِّيَنَّهُ بِاسْمِهِ وَ اسْمِ أَبِيهِ فَقَامَ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى مَهِينٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فِي نِسَائِهَا فَصَلَّتْ عَلَى أُخْتِهَا.

Hesaww said it twice, and he was silent. So, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Will he stand up or should Isaww name him with his name and name of his father?’ He stood up leaning upon humiliation. Fatimaasws came out among herasws womenfolk and prayed Salat upon herasws sisteras’’.¹⁶²

20- سر، السرائر أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص زَوَّجَ مُنَافِقَيْنِ أَبَا الْعَاصِ بْنَ رَبِيعٍ وَ سَكَتَ عَنِ الْآخَرِ.

(The book) ‘Al Sarair’ – Aban Bin Taghlub, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from Muhammad Bin Qays Al Asady who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww got two hypocrites married – Abu Al-Aas Bin Rabie,’ – and heasws was silent from the other’’.¹⁶³

21- شي، تفسير العياشي عَنْ يُونُسَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ زَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ابْنَتَهُ فُلَاناً قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ زَوَّجَهُ الْأُخْرَى قَالَ قَدْ فَعَلَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ لا يَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا أَنَّما نُمْلِي لَهُمْ خَيْرٌ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ‏ إِلَى‏ عَذابٌ مُهِينٌ‏.

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi – From Yunus, raising it, said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww got hissaww daughteras married to so and so (Usman)?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘How did hesaww got another (daughteras) married (to him)?’ Heasws said: ‘Hesaww had done it. Allahazwj Revealed: And those who are committing Kufr should not reckon that Our Respiting to them is better for themselves – up to - an abasing Punishment [3:178]’’.¹⁶⁴

22- كا، الكافي عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ وَ هُوَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ الْحَارِثِيُّ قَالَ: سَأَلَ عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ فَقَالَ تَخْرُجُ النِّسَاءُ إِلَى الْجِنَازَةِ وَ كَانَ مُتَّكِئاً فَاسْتَوَى جَالِساً ثُمَّ قَالَ ع إِنَّ الْفَاسِقَ عَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ آوَى عَمَّهُ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ كَانَ مِمَّنْ نذر [نَدَرَ] رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص دَمَهُ فَقَالَ لِابْنَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَا تُخْبِرِي أَبَاكِ بِمَكَانِهِ كَأَنَّهُ لَا يُوقِنُ أَنَّ الْوَحْيَ يَأْتِي مُحَمَّداً

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Ahmad bin Muhammad al Kufy, from one of his companions, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yazeed Bin Khalifa Al Howlaby, and he is Yazeed Bin Khalifa Al Harisy who said,

‘Isa Bin Abdullah asked Abu Abdullahasws, and I was present, so he said, ‘(Can) the women go out to the funeral?’. And heasws was reclining, so heasws sat upright, then said: ‘The evil-doer, may the Curse of Allahazwj be upon him. Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as, his nephew (Usman) sheltered him, and he was from the ones Rasool-Allahsaww permitted hissaww blood to be spilled (killed). He (Usman) said to a (step) daughter of Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Do not inform youras fathersaww of his (Mugheira’s) whereabouts’. It was as if he had no conviction that the Revelation comes to Muhammadsaww.

فَقَالَتْ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَكْتُمَ رَسُولَ‏ اللَّهِ ص عَدُوَّهُ فَجَعَلَهُ بَيْنَ مِشْجَبٍ لَهُ وَ لَحَفَهُ بِقَطِيفَةٍ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص الْوَحْيُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَكَانِهِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيّاً ع وَ قَالَ اشْتَمِلْ عَلَى سَيْفِكَ وَ أْتِ بَيْتَ ابْنَةِ عَمِّكَ فَإِنْ ظَفِرْتَ بِالْمُغِيرَةِ فَاقْتُلْهُ

She said, ‘Ias was not one to conceal from Rasool-Allahsaww the whereabouts of hissaww enemy’. So he (Usman) made him (the evil-doer) to be inside a cupboard of his and wrapped him in a velvet cloth. Revelation came to Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww was informed of his (hiding) place. So hesaww sent Aliasws to him and said: ‘Carry yourasws sword, go to the house of the daughteras of your cousinsaww, and if you get hold of Al-Mugheira, kill him’.

فَأَتَى الْبَيْتَ فَجَالَ فِيهِ فَلَمْ يَظْفَرْ بِهِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَمْ أَرَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْوَحْيَ قَدْ أَتَانِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ فِي الْمِشْجَبِ

Heasws went to the house and looked around in it but did not come across him. So heasws returned to Rasool-Allahsaww and informed himsaww, and heasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, Iasws did not see him’. Hesaww said: ‘The Revelation had come to mesaww and informed mesaww that he is in the cupboard.

وَ دَخَلَ عُثْمَانُ بَعْدَ خُرُوجِ عَلِيٍّ ع فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَمِّهِ فَأَتَى بِهِ النَّبِيَّ ص فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَكَبَ‏ وَ لَمْ يَلْتَفِتْ إِلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ حَنِيناً كَرِيماً فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا عَمِّي هَذَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ قَدْ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ آمَنْتَهُ

And Usman came over after the exit of Aliasws, and he grabbed the hand of his uncle and came over with him to the Prophetsaww. When hesaww saw him, he leapt to himsaww and hesaww did not turn towards him. And the Prophetsaww was bashful, benevolent. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This is my uncle. This is Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as who has come. By the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww! Yousaww have granted him safety’’.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ كَذَبَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً مَا آمَنَهُ فَأَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثاً وَ أَعَادَهَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع ثَلَاثاً إِنِّي آمَنْتُهُ‏ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَأْتِيهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ قَدْ جَعَلْتُ لَكَ ثَلَاثاً فَإِنْ قَدَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةٍ قَتَلْتُهُ

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘And he (Usman) lied, by the Oneazwj Who Sent himsaww with the Truth, hesaww did not grant him safety. So he repeated it three times, and Abu Abdullahasws repeated it three times: ‘Iasws believe him except that he came to himsaww from hissaww right, then came to himsaww from hissaww left. When it was during the fourth time, hesaww raised hissaww head and said to him: ‘Isaww give you (Usman) three days, so if Isaww were to find him (Al-Mugheira) after three days, he would be killed’.

فَلَمَّا أَدْبَرَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُؤْوِيهِ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يَحْمِلُهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُطْعِمُهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يَسْقِيهِ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُجَهِّزُهُ وَ الْعَنْ مَنْ يُعْطِيهِ سِقَاءً أَوْ حِذَاءً أَوْ رِشَاءً أَوْ وِعَاءً وَ هُوَ يَعُدُّهُنَّ بِيَمِينِهِ

So when he turned around, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Curse Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as, and Curse the one who shelters him, and Curse the one who carries him, and Curse the one who feeds him, and Curse the one who quenches him, and Curse the one who equips him, and Curse the one who gives him a drink, or shoes, or clothes, or plates, and aids him with his right hand.

وَ انْطَلَقَ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ فَآوَاهُ وَ أَطْعَمَهُ وَ سَقَاهُ وَ حَمَلَهُ وَ جَهَّزَهُ حَتَّى فَعَلَ جَمِيعَ مَا لَعَنَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ص مَنْ يَفْعَلُهُ بِهِ

And Usman went with him, so he sheltered him, and fed him, and quenched him, and carried him, and equipped him until he had done the entirety of what the Prophetsaww had cursed upon for the one who did so with him.

ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ يَسُوقُهُ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ أَبْيَاتِ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى أَعْطَبَ اللَّهُ رَاحِلَتَهُ وَ نَقِبَ حِذَاهُ وَ دَمِيَتْ‏ قَدَمَاهُ فَاسْتَعَانَ بِيَدِهِ وَ رُكْبَتِهِ‏ وَ أَثْقَلَهُ جَهَازُهُ حَتَّى وَجِرَ بِهِ‏ فَأَتَى سَمُرَةً فَاسْتَظَلَّ بِهَا لَوْ أَتَاهَا بَعْضُكُمْ مَا أَبْهَرَهُ‏

Then he (Usman) brought him out during the fourth day, ushering him (behind him). He had not come out from the houses of Al-Medina until Allahazwj Damaged his ride, and Punctured his shoes, and his feet swelled up. So he took assistance by his hands and his knees, and his supplies weighed him down until he became afraid of his life. He went over to a tree to seek the shade with it. If one of you had gone to it, he would not have missed him (as his condition was so miserable).

فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص الْوَحْيُ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَدَعَا عَلِيّاً ع فَقَالَ خُذْ سَيْفَكَ فَانْطَلِقْ أَنْتَ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ ثَالِثٌ‏ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّ الْمُغِيرَةَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ‏ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَتَاهُ عَلِيٌّ ع فَقَتَلَهُ فَضَرَبَ عُثْمَانُ بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ أَنْتِ أَخْبَرْتِ أَبَاكِ بِمَكَانِهِ

Revelation came unto Rasool-Allahsaww and hesaww was informed with that. So hesaww called Aliasws and said: ‘Take yourasws sword and go, youasws and Ammar, and a third person, go to Al-Mugheira Bin Abu Al-A’as (who is) beneath such and such a tree. Aliasws went over to him and killed him. So (later on) Usman hit a (step) daughteras of Rasool-Allahsaww (Ruqaiyyaas) and said: ‘You informed your fathersaww of his whereabouts.

فَبَعَثَتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تَشْكُو مَا لَقِيَتْ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اقْنَيْ حَيَاءَكِ فَمَا أَقْبَحَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ ذَاتِ حَسَبٍ وَ دِينٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ تَشْكُو زَوْجَهَا فَأَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مَرَّاتٍ‏ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ لَهَا ذَلِكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ دَعَا عَلِيّاً ع وَ قَالَ خُذْ سَيْفَكَ وَ اشْتَمِلْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ائْتِ بِنْتَ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ فَخُذْ بِيَدِهَا فَإِنْ حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهَا فَاحْطِمْهُ بِالسَّيْفِ

Sheas sent a message to Rasool-Allahsaww complaining of what sheas faced. Rasool-Allahsaww sent a message to her: ‘Cover your shame. How ugly of the woman with a (good) lineage and Religion during every day complaining of her husband’. Sheas sent a message to himsaww three times, during each of that hesaww was saying that to her. When it was during the fourth time, hesaww called Aliasws and said: ‘Take yourasws sword and cover upon it, then go to the house of the daughter of yourasws cousin, and take her by the hand. So if anyone were to come between youasws and her, break him with the sword’.

وَ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَالْوَالِهِ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ إِلَى دَارِ عُثْمَانَ فَأَخْرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ع ابْنَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَمَّا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهِ رَفَعَتْ صَوْتَهَا بِالْبُكَاءِ وَ اسْتَعْبَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَكَى ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهَا مَنْزِلَهُ وَ كَشَفَتْ عَنْ ظَهْرِهَا فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَأَى مَا بِظَهْرِهَا قَالَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ مَا لَهُ قَتَلَكِ قَتَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ وَ بَاتَ عُثْمَانَ مُتَلَحِّفاً بِجَارِيَتِهَا

And Rasool-Allahsaww came over flustered from hissaww house to the house of Usman. Aliasws brought out the daughteras of Rasool-Allahsaww. When sheas looked at himsaww, sheas raised her voice with the wailing, and Rasool-Allahsaww burst into tears and cried. Then hesaww took her to hissaww own house, and she uncovered her back. When hesaww saw what had appeared on her (marks of the beating), said three times: ‘What is the matter with him hitting youas? May Allahazwj Kill him’. And that was during the day of Sunday, and Usman spent the night wrapped with his slave girl.

فَمَكَثَتِ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ الثَّلَاثَاءَ وَ مَاتَتْ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ بِهَا أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَاطِمَةَ ع فَخَرَجَتْ وَ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَعَهَا وَ خَرَجَ عُثْمَانُ يُشَيِّعُ جَنَازَتَهَا فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ص قَالَ مَنْ أَطَافَ الْبَارِحَةَ بِأَهْلِهِ أَوْ بِفَتَاتِهِ فَلَا يَتْبَعَنَّ جَنَازَتَهَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً فَلَمْ يَنْصَرِفْ

He remained (like that) for Monday and Tuesday, and she died on the fourth day. When he came to take her out, Rasool-Allahsaww instructed (Syeda) Fatimaasws, so sheasws went out, and the womenfolk of the believing women were with herasws, and Usman went out escorting her funeral. When the Prophetsaww saw him, hesaww said: ‘The one who went to his wife last night or with his slave girl, so he should not follow heras funeral’. Hesaww said that three (times). But he did not leave.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ قَالَ لَيَنْصَرِفَنَّ أَوْ لَأُسَمِّيَنَّ بِاسْمِهِ فَأَقْبَلَ عُثْمَانُ مُتَوَكِّياً عَلَى مَوْلًى لَهُ مُمْسِكاً بِبَطْنِهِ‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَشْتَكِي بَطْنِي فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْ أَنْصَرِفَ قَالَ انْصَرِفْ وَ خَرَجَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ نِسَاءُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَصَلَّيْنَ عَلَى الْجِنَازَةِ.

When it was the fourth time, hesaww said: ‘Will he leave or shall Isaww mention his name?’ Usman came over leaning upon a slave of his, holding his belly, and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I complain of my bellyache. So if yousaww see fit, permit me to leave’. Hesaww said: ‘Leave!’ And (Syeda) Fatimaasws came out, and the womenfolk of the believing women, and the Emigrants, and they prayed Salat upon the deceased’’.¹⁶⁵

23- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَ يُفْلِتُ مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ الْقَبْرِ أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَقَالَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ‏ مَا أَقَلَّ مَنْ يُفْلِتُ مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ الْقَبْرِ إِنَّ رُقَيَّةَ لَمَّا قَتَلَهَا عُثْمَانُ وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى قَبْرِهَا فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَدَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ هَذِهِ وَ مَا لَقِيَتْ فَرَقَقْتُ لَهَا وَ اسْتَوْهَبْتُهَا مِنْ ضَمَّةِ الْقَبْرِ

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy, from Usman Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Can anyone escape from the squeezing of the grave?’ Heasws said: ‘Weasws seek Refuge with Allahazwj from it. Who can escape from the squeezing of the grave? When Usman killed Ruqayyaas,(Step daughter of Rasool-Allahsaww) Rasool-Allahsaww stood by her grave and raised hissaww head towards the sky, and his eyes shed tears, and hesaww said to the people: ‘Isaww remember this one and what she had faced, so Isaww melted for her, and Isaww gift to her (escape) from the squeezing of the grave’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ هَبْ لِي رُقَيَّةَ مِنْ ضَمَّةِ الْقَبْرِ فَوَهَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ

Heasws said: ‘So hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Endow to mesaww, Ruqaiya being free from the squeezing of the grave’. Allahazwj Gifted it to her, for himsaww’.

قَالَ وَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص خَرَجَ فِي جِنَازَةِ سَعْدٍ وَ قَدْ شَيَّعَهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ فَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَ‏ قَالَ مِثْلُ سَعْدٍ يُضَمُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّا نُحَدِّثُ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَسْتَخِفُّ بِالْبَوْلِ فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ مِنْ زَعَارَّةٍ فِي خُلُقِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ

Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww went out in a funeral of Sa’ad, and seventy thousand Angels has escorted him. Rasool-Allahsaww raised hissaww head towards the sky, then said: ‘The likes of Sa’ad would be squeezed’. (He - the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! We are narrating that he used to belittle with the urine (uncleanness)’. Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Forbid! But rather, he was of harsh mannerisms upon his family’.

قَالَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَعْدٍ هَنِيئاً لَكَ يَا سَعْدُ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أُمَّ سَعْدٍ لَا تَحْتِمِي عَلَى اللَّهِ‏.

Heasws said: ‘The mother of Sa’ad said, ‘Congratulations to you, O Sa’ad!’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘O mother of Sa’ad! Do not impose it upon Allahazwj!’’.¹⁶⁶

24- كا، الكافي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ: لَمَّا مَاتَتْ رُقَيَّةُ ابْنَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْحَقِي بِسَلَفِنَا الصَّالِحِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مَظْعُونٍ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ

Al Kafi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from someone else, from Aban, from Abu Baseer,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws) having said: ‘When Ruqayyaas, a (step) daughteras of Rasool-Allahsaww died, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Join with our righteous ancestors, Usman Bin Mazoun and his companions’.

قَالَ وَ فَاطِمَةُ ع عَلَى شَفِيرِ الْقَبْرِ تَنْحَدِرُ دُمُوعُهَا فِي الْقَبْرِ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَتَلَقَّاهُ بِثَوْبِهِ قَائِمٌ‏ يَدْعُو قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ ضَعْفَهَا وَ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُجِيرَهَا مِنْ ضَمَّةِ الْقَبْرِ.

Heasws said: ‘And (Syeda) Fatimaasws was upon the verge of the grave, herasws tears flowing into the grave, and Rasool-Allahsaww was catching these with hissaww clothes, standing, supplicating, saying: ‘Isaww recognise heras weakness, and Isaww asked Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj Rescue heras from the squeezing of the grave’’.¹⁶⁷

25- قال في المنتقى، ولدت خديجة له ص زينب و رقية و أم كلثوم و فاطمة و القاسم و به كان يكنى و الطاهر و الطيب و هلك هؤلاء الذكور في الجاهلية و أدركت الإناث الإسلام فأسلمن و هاجرن معه

He (the author) said in (the book) ‘Al-Mantaqa’ – Khadeejaas gave birth for himsaww – Zaynabas, and Ruqaiyaas, and Umm Kulsoomas, and Fatimaasws, and Al Qasimas, and there was a teknonym with him, and Al Tahiras and Al Tayyibas, and these two males passed away during the pre-Islamic period, and the females came across Al Islam and they became Muslims and emigrated along with himsaww.

و قيل الطيب و الطاهر لقبان لعبد الله و ولد في الإسلام

And it is said Al Tayyibas and Al Tahiras were two teknonyms of Abdullah, and heas was born during Al Islam.

و قال ابن عباس أول من ولد لرسول الله ص بمكة قبل النبوة القاسم و يكنى به ثم ولد له زينب ثم رقية ثم فاطمة ثم أم كلثوم ثم ولد له في الإسلام عبد الله فسمي الطيب و الطاهر و أمهم جميعا خديجة بنت خويلد

And Ibn Abbas said, ‘The first one to be born for Rasool-Allahsaww at Makkah before the Prophet-hood was Al Qasimas and hesaww was teknonymed by himas. Then there was born for himsaww Zaynabas, then Ruqaiyaas, then Fatimaas, then Umm Kulsoomas. Then there was born for himsaww during Al Islam, Abdullahas, and heas was called Al Tayyib and Al Tahir, and all of theiras motheras was Khadeejaas daughter of Khuwaylid.

و كان أول من مات من ولده القاسم ثم مات عبد الله بمكة فقال العاص بن وائل السهمي قد انقطع ولده فهو أبتر فأنزل الله تعالى‏ إِنَّ شانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ

And the first one to pass away from hissaww children was Al Qasimas, then Abdullahas passed away at Makkah. Al Aas Bin Wail Al Sahmy said, ‘Hissaww children have been cut off so hesaww is ‘Abtar’ (without posterity). So, Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed: Surely your adversary, he is the one without posterity [108:3].

و عن جبير بن مطعم قال مات القاسم و هو ابن سنتين و قيل سنة و قيل إن القاسم و الطيب عاشا سبع ليال و مات عبد الله بعد النبوة بسنة و أما إبراهيم فولد سنة ثمان من الهجرة و مات و له سنة و عشرة أشهر و ثمانية أيام و قيل كان بين كل ولدين لخديجة سنة

And from Jubeyr Bin Mat’am said, ‘Al Qasimas passed away and heas was two years old’. And it is said, ‘One year’. And it is said that al Qasimas, and Al Tayyibas both lived for seven nights, and Abdullahas passed away after the Prophetsaww by a year, and as for Ibrahimas, heas was born in year eight from the emigration and passed away and there was one year and ten months and eight days. And it is said, ‘There was (a gap of) one year between each of the children for Khadeejaas’.

و قيل إن الذكور من أولاده ثلاثة و البنات أربع أولهن زينب ثم القاسم ثم أم كلثوم ثم فاطمة ثم رقية ثم عبد الله و هو الطيب و الطاهر ثم إبراهيم

And it is said that the males from hissaww children are three and the daughter, four – the first of them being Zaynabas, then Al Qasimas, then Umm Kulsoomas, then Fatimaasws, then Ruqaiyaas, then Abdullahas and heas is Al Tayyibas and Al Tahiras, then Ibrahimas.

و يقال إن أولهم القاسم ثم زينب ثم عبد الله ثم رقية ثم أم كلثوم ثم فاطمة

And it is said that the first of them is Al Qasimas, then Zaynabas, then Abdullahas, then Ruqaiyaas, then Umm Kulsoomas, then Fatimaas.

و أما بناته فزينب كانت زوجة أبي العاص و اسمه القاسم بن الربيع و كان لها منه ابنة اسمها أمامة فتزوجها المغيرة بن نوفل ثم فارقها و تزوجها علي ع بعد وفاة فاطمة ع و كانت‏ أوصت بذلك‏ قبل فوتها و توفيت زينب سنة ثمان من الهجرة و قيل إنها ولدت من أبي العاص ابنا اسمه علي و مات في ولاية عمر و مات أبو العاص في ولاية عثمان و توفيت أمامة سنة خمسين

And as for hissaww daughtersas – Zaynabas was married to Abu Al Aas and his nameis Al Qasim Bin Al Rabie, and there was for heras from him, a daughter whose name was Amama. Al Mugheir Bin Nowfal married her then separated from her, and Aliasws married her after the expiry of Fatimaasws, and sheasws had bequeathed with that before herasws passing away. And Zaynabas passed away in year eight from the emigration. And it is said that sheas gave birth to a son from Abu Al Aas, his name was Aliasws, and he died during the rule of Umar, and Abu Al Aas died during the rule of Usman, and Amama died in year fifty.

و رقية كانت زوجة عتبة بن أبي لهب فطلقها قبل الدخول بأمر أبيه و تزوجها عثمان في الجاهلية فولدت له ابنا سماه عبد الله و به كان يكنى و هاجرت مع عثمان إلى الحبشة ثم هاجرت معه إلى المدينة و توفيت سنة اثنتين من الهجرة و النبي ص في غزوة بدر و توفي ابنها سنة أربع و له ست سنين و يقال نقره ديك على عينيه فمات

And Ruqaiyaas was married to Utba son of Abu Lahabla and he divorced heras before the copulation by the orders of his father, and Usman married her during the pre-Islamic period and sheas gave birth for him to a son named as Abdullah, and by him he was teknonymed, and sheas emigrated with Usman to Ethiopia, then emigrated with him to Al Medina and expired in year two from the emigration while the Prophetsaww was in the battle of Badr, and heras son died in year four and for him six years. And it is said a rooster plucked his eyes and he died.

و أم كلثوم تزوجها عتيبة بن أبي لهب و فارقها قبل الدخول و تزوجها عثمان بعد رقية سنة ثلاث و توفيت في شعبان سنة سبع

And Umm Kulsoomas was married to Uteyba son of Abu Lahabla, and he separated her before the copulation, and Usman married her after Ruqaiyaas by a year and three (days), and sheas passed away during Shaban of the year seven.

و فاطمة صلوات الله عليها تزوجها علي ع سنة اثنتين من الهجرة و دخل بها منصرفه من بدر و ولدت له حسنا و حسينا و زينب الكبرى و أم كلثوم الكبرى و انتشر نور النبوة و العصمة حسبا و نسبا من ذرياتها و توفيت بعد وفاة أبيها صلوات الله عليهما بمائة يوم و قيل توفيت لثلاث خلون من شهر رمضان سنة إحدى عشرة و قيل غير ذلك‏

And Fatimaasws was married to Aliasws in the year twelve from the emigration, and herasws entering to hisasws house was after hissaww return from Badr, and sheasws gave birth for himasws Hassanasws, and Husaynasws, and Zaynab Al Kubraas, and Umm Kulsoom Al Kubraas, and the light (noor) of the Prophet-hood and the infallibility was disseminated, affiliation and lineage, from herasws offspring, and sheasws passed away after the passing away of herasws fathersaww by one hundred years. And it is said, on three (days) vacant from the month of Ramazan of the year eleven, and it is said other than that.

و أما منزل خديجة فإنه يعرف بها اليوم اشتراه معاوية فيما ذكر فجعله مسجدا يصلى فيه و بناه على الذي هو عليه اليوم و لم يغير.

And as for the house of Khadeejaas, it is known today that Muawiya bought it among what is mentioned and he made it to be a Masjid for Salat to be prayed in it, and its construction is upon that which it is upon today, and has not changed’’.¹⁶⁸

26- الْغُرَرُ، لِلسَّيِّدِ الْمُرْتَضَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ قَدْ كَثُرَ عَلَى مَارِيَةَ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكَلَامُ فِي ابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهَا قِبْطِيٍّ كَانَ يَزُورُهَا وَ يَخْتَلِفُ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ص خُذْ هَذَا السَّيْفَ وَ انْطَلِقْ‏ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ عِنْدَهَا فَاقْتُلْهُ

(The book) ‘Al-Ghurar’ of the Seyyid Al-Murtaza – ‘It is reported by Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiyya from his fatherasws having said: ‘The talk against Mariah the Coptic, mother of Ibrahimas, had become a lot regarding a Coptic cousin of hers who used to visit her and come and go to her. The Prophetsaww said to measws: ‘Take this sword and go, and if youasws find him with her, kill him’.

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَكُونُ فِي أَمْرِكَ كَالسِّكَّةِ الْمُحْمَاةِ أَمْضِي لِمَا أَمَرْتَنِي أَمِ الشَّاهِدُ يَرَى مَا لَا يَرَى الْغَائِبُ فَقَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ ص بَلِ الشَّاهِدُ يَرَى‏ مَا لَا يَرَى الْغَائِبُ

Iasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Iasws tend to become regarding yoursaww orders like the protective blade. Shall Iasws accomplish to what yousaww ordered measws, or the one present may see what the absentee hasn’t’. The Prophetsaww said to measws: ‘But the one present will see what the absentee hasn’t’.

فَأَقْبَلْتُ مُتَوَشِّحاً بِالسَّيْفِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عِنْدَهَا فَاخْتَرَطْتُ السَّيْفَ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلْتُ نَحْوَهُ عَرَفَ أَنِّي أُرِيدُهُ فَأَتَى نَخْلَةً فَرَقِيَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ رَمَى بِنَفْسِهِ عَلَى قَفَاهُ وَ شَغَرَ بِرِجْلَيْهِ فَإِذَا إِنَّهُ أَجَبُّ أَمْسَحُ مَا لَهُ مِمَّا لِلرَّجُلِ قَلِيلٌ وَ لَا كَثِيرٌ قَالَ فَغَمَدْتُ السَّيْفَ وَ رَجَعْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَصْرِفُ عَنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ‏.

So, Iasws went with the sword drawn and found him in her presence. I clanged the sword. When Iasws went near him, he recognised Iasws intended him, so he went to a palm tree and climbed to it, then he threw himself upon his back and his legs were spread out, and there, he was a eunuch, clean, the wasn’t for him what tends to be for the man, neither little nor more. So, Iasws sheathed the sword and returned to the Prophetsaww and informed himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Turned away (the evil) from usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household’’.¹⁶⁹

باب 2 جمل أحوال أزواجه ص و فيه قصة زينب و زيد

CHAPTER 2 – SUMMARY OF THE STATES OF HISsaww WIVES AND IN IT IS THE STORY OF ZAYNABas AND ZAYD

الأحزاب‏ وَ ما جَعَلَ أَدْعِياءَكُمْ أَبْناءَكُمْ ذلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُمْ بِأَفْواهِكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وَ هُوَ يَهْدِي السَّبِيلَ

(Surah) Al Ahzaab - and He did not Make your adopted sons as being your sons. These are your words with your own mouths, and Allah is Saying the Truth, and He Guides to the Way [33:4]

ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبائِهِمْ هُوَ أَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُوا آباءَهُمْ فَإِخْوانُكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَ مَوالِيكُمْ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُناحٌ فِيما أَخْطَأْتُمْ بِهِ وَ لكِنْ ما تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً

Assert them to their fathers, this is more equitable in the Presence of Allah. But if you do not know (who) their fathers are, then they are your brethren in the Religion and are your friends. And there isn’t any blame on you regarding what you err with, but what your hearts deliberate with; and Allah was always Forgiving, Merciful [33:5]

النَّبِيُّ أَوْلى‏ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَزْواجُهُ أُمَّهاتُهُمْ‏

The Prophet is foremost with the Momineen than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers; [33:6]

و قال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَ أُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَراحاً جَمِيلًا

And the Exalted Said: O Prophet! Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you and release you with a gracious release [33:28]

وَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِناتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْراً عَظِيماً

And if you were intending Allah and His Rasool, and the House of the Hereafter, then surely Allah has Prepared for the good doers from you, a mighty Recompense [33:29]

يا نِساءَ النَّبِيِّ مَنْ يَأْتِ مِنْكُنَّ بِفاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ يُضاعَفْ لَهَا الْعَذابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ وَ كانَ ذلِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ يَسِيراً

O wives of the prophet! The one from you who comes with an open immorality, the Punishment would be increased for her doubly, and that would be easy upon Allah [33:30]

وَ مَنْ يَقْنُتْ مِنْكُنَّ لِلَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ تَعْمَلْ صالِحاً نُؤْتِها أَجْرَها مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ أَعْتَدْنا لَها رِزْقاً كَرِيماً

And one who is certain of Allah and His Rasool and does righteous deeds, We shall Give her Recompense to her twice, and Prepare for her an honourable sustenance [33:31]

يا نِساءَ النَّبِيِّ لَسْتُنَّ كَأَحَدٍ مِنَ النِّساءِ إِنِ اتَّقَيْتُنَّ فَلا تَخْضَعْنَ بِالْقَوْلِ فَيَطْمَعَ الَّذِي فِي قَلْبِهِ مَرَضٌ وَ قُلْنَ قَوْلًا مَعْرُوفاً

O wives of the Prophet! You are not like any one from the women. If you are pious, then do not be soft in speech, lest he in whose heart is a disease yearns; and speak a reasonable speech [33:32]

وَ قَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَ لا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولى‏ وَ أَقِمْنَ الصَّلاةَ وَ آتِينَ الزَّكاةَ وَ أَطِعْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ إِنَّما يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ يُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيراً

And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the Pre-Islamic period before; and establish the Salat and give the Zakat, and obey Allah and His Rasool. But rather, Allah Intends to Keep the uncleanness away from you, People of the Household, and Purify you (with) a Purification [33:33]

وَ اذْكُرْنَ ما يُتْلى‏ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ مِنْ آياتِ اللَّهِ وَ الْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ لَطِيفاً خَبِيراً

And Remember what is recited in your houses from the Verses of Allah and the Wisdom. Surely, Allah would always be Aware of the subtleties [33:34]

إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِماتِ‏ وَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِناتِ وَ الْقانِتِينَ وَ الْقانِتاتِ وَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَ الصَّادِقاتِ وَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَ الصَّابِراتِ وَ الْخاشِعِينَ وَ الْخاشِعاتِ وَ الْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَ الْمُتَصَدِّقاتِ وَ الصَّائِمِينَ وَ الصَّائِماتِ وَ الْحافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَ الْحافِظاتِ وَ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَ الذَّاكِراتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً

Surely the Muslim men and the Muslim women, and the Momineen and the Mominaat, and the obedient men and the obedient women, and the truthful men and the truthful women, and the patient men and the patient women, and the humble men and the humble women, and the charitable men and the charitable women, and the Fasting men and the Fasting women, and the men who guard their private parts and the women who guard, and the men who do Zikr of Allah a lot, and the women who do Zikr - Allah has Prepared for them Forgiveness and a Mighty Recompense [33:35]

وَ ما كانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَ لا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَمْراً أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ مَنْ يَعْصِ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلالًا مُبِيناً

And it was not for a Momin, nor for a Momina, when Allah and His Rasool decide a matter that the choice would happen to be for them from their matter. And one who disobeys Allah and His Rasool, so he has strayed a clear straying [33:36]

وَ إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ تُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَ تَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَ اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشاهُ فَلَمَّا قَضى‏ زَيْدٌ مِنْها وَطَراً زَوَّجْناكَها لِكَيْ لا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْواجِ أَدْعِيائِهِمْ إِذا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَراً وَ كانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا

And when you said to the one whom Allah had Favoured upon and you had favoured upon: ‘Withhold your wife to yourself and fear Allah!’, and you concealed within yourself what Allah would be Manifesting, and you feared the people while Allah is more deserving that you fear Him. So when Zayd had dissolved the marriage, We Married her to you so that there would not happen to be any uneasiness upon the Momineen regarding the wives of their adopted sons when they had dissolved their marriages from them; and the Command of Allah Will always be Done [33:37]

ما كانَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيما فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ كانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ قَدَراً مَقْدُوراً

There was no blame upon the Prophet regarding what Allah Imposed to Him, being a Sunnah of Allah regarding those who have gone before, and the Command of Allah was a Decree Ordained [33:38]

الَّذِينَ يُبَلِّغُونَ رِسالاتِ اللَّهِ وَ يَخْشَوْنَهُ وَ لا يَخْشَوْنَ أَحَداً إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ حَسِيباً

Those who deliver the Messages of Allah and fear Him, and do not fear anyone except Allah; and suffice with Allah as a Reckoner [33:39]

ما كانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجالِكُمْ وَ لكِنْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ خاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلِيماً

Muhammad was not a father of anyone of your men, but is a Rasool of Allah and last of the Prophets, and Allah would always be Aware of all things [33:40]

و قال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَحْلَلْنا لَكَ أَزْواجَكَ اللَّاتِي آتَيْتَ أُجُورَهُنَّ وَ ما مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ مِمَّا أَفاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ بَناتِ عَمِّكَ وَ بَناتِ عَمَّاتِكَ وَ بَناتِ خالِكَ وَ بَناتِ خالاتِكَ اللَّاتِي هاجَرْنَ مَعَكَ وَ امْرَأَةً مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَها لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنْ أَرادَ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَسْتَنْكِحَها خالِصَةً لَكَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ عَلِمْنا ما فَرَضْنا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي أَزْواجِهِمْ وَ ما مَلَكَتْ أَيْمانُهُمْ لِكَيْلا يَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ حَرَجٌ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً

And the Ealted Said: O you Prophet! Surely, We Made lawful for you, your wives whom you gave their dowries to, and what your right hands possess from what Allah Granted as a booty unto you, and daughter of your paternal uncles, and daughters of your paternal aunts, and daughters of your maternal uncles, and daughters of your maternal aunts, those who emigrated with you, and a Momina who gifts herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet wants to marry her, being particularly for you from besides the Momineen. And We have Known what We Imposed upon them regarding their wives and what their right hands possess, lest there happens to be a blame upon you, and Allah was always Forgiving, Merciful [33:50]

تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَ تُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَ مَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلا جُناحَ عَلَيْكَ ذلِكَ أَدْنى‏ أَنْ تَقَرَّ أَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَ لا يَحْزَنَّ وَ يَرْضَيْنَ بِما آتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُ ما فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَلِيماً

You may defer the one you so desire to from them and shelter to yourself one you so desire to, and one you want from the one who isolated, there is no blame upon you. That is closer to delighting their eyes, they will not grieve and be satisfied with that you give all of them, and Allah Knows what is in their hearts, and Allah would always be, Knowing, Forbearing [33:51]

لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّساءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ لا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْواجٍ وَ لَوْ أَعْجَبَكَ حُسْنُهُنَّ إِلَّا ما مَلَكَتْ يَمِينُكَ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ رَقِيباً

The women are not Permissible for you afterwards, nor for you to replace them with (other) wives even though their beauty may fascinate you, except what your right hands possess, and Allah was always Watchful upon all things [33:52]

يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلى‏ طَعامٍ غَيْرَ ناظِرِينَ إِناهُ وَ لكِنْ إِذا دُعِيتُمْ فَادْخُلُوا فَإِذا طَعِمْتُمْ فَانْتَشِرُوا وَ لا مُسْتَأْنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍ إِنَّ ذلِكُمْ كانَ يُؤْذِي النَّبِيَّ فَيَسْتَحْيِي مِنْكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ لا يَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ الْحَقِّ وَ إِذا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتاعاً فَسْئَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَراءِ حِجابٍ ذلِكُمْ‏ أَطْهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمْ وَ قُلُوبِهِنَّ وَ ما كانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لا أَنْ تَنْكِحُوا أَزْواجَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَبَداً إِنَّ ذلِكُمْ كانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيماً

O you those who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you to a meal, (and) not waiting for its preparation, but when you are invited, then enter. So when you have been fed, then disperse and not lingering for discussion. Surely, that was hurtful to the Prophet, but he was bashful from you, and Allah is not Embarrassed from (Speaking) the Truth. And when you ask them (wives of Rasool-Allah) for any chattels, then ask them from behind a curtain, that would be purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it was not for you that you should hurt Rasool-Allah, nor that you marry his wives from after him, ever! Surely, that would be grievous in the Presence of Allah [33:53]

إِنْ تُبْدُوا شَيْئاً أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلِيماً

Whether you reveal a thing or conceal it, indeed Allah is a Knower of all things [33:54]

لا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِي آبائِهِنَّ وَ لا أَبْنائِهِنَّ وَ لا إِخْوانِهِنَّ وَ لا أَبْناءِ إِخْوانِهِنَّ وَ لا أَبْناءِ أَخَواتِهِنَّ وَ لا نِسائِهِنَّ وَ لا ما مَلَكَتْ أَيْمانُهُنَّ وَ اتَّقِينَ اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ شَهِيداً

There is no blame on them (wives) regarding their fathers, nor their sons, nor their brothers, nor sons of their brothers, nor sons of their sisters, nor their wives, nor what their right hands possess. And fear Allah, surely Allah would always be a Witness over all things [33:55]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ وَ بَناتِكَ وَ نِساءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِيبِهِنَّ ذلِكَ أَدْنى‏ أَنْ يُعْرَفْنَ فَلا يُؤْذَيْنَ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً

Up to the Words of the Exalted: O you Prophet! Say to your wives, and your daughters, and the womenfolk of the Momineen to draw their outer garments upon themselves. That is more appropriate, for they would be recognised and would not be harmed; and Allah was always Forgiving, Merciful [33:59]

لَئِنْ لَمْ يَنْتَهِ الْمُنافِقُونَ وَ الَّذِينَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ مَرَضٌ وَ الْمُرْجِفُونَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ لَنُغْرِيَنَّكَ بِهِمْ ثُمَّ لا يُجاوِرُونَكَ فِيها إِلَّا قَلِيلًا

If the hypocrites, and those in whose hearts is a disease, and the agitators in the city do not desist, We will Cause you to overpower them, then they will not be in your vicinity except for a little while [33:60]

وَ رَوَى الْوَاحِدِيُّ بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَالِساً مَعَ حَفْصَةَ فَتَشَاجَرَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَقَالَ هَلْ لَكِ أَنْ أَجْعَلَ‏ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكِ رَجُلًا قَالَتْ نَعَمْ

And it is reported by Al-Waqidy (Wahabi imam), by the chain from Saeed Bin Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww was seated with Hafsa and there was a quarrel between them. Hesaww said: ‘Is it (ok) for you if Isaww were to make a man to be between mesaww and you (to decide)?’ She said, ‘Yes’.

فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَلَمَّا أَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ لَهَا تَكَلَّمِي قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَكَلَّمْ وَ لَا تَقُلْ إِلَّا حَقّاً فَرَفَعَ عُمَرُ يَدَهُ فَوَجَأَ وَجْهَهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ فَوَجَأَ وَجْهَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص كُفَّ

Hesaww sent a message to Umar. When he entered to them, he said to her, ‘Speak to me’. She said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww speak and do not speak except truth’. Umar raised his hand and pained her face (slapped her). Then he raised his hand and pained her face. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Stop!’

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا عَدُوَّةَ اللَّهِ النَّبِيُّ لَا يَقُولُ إِلَّا حَقّاً وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ لَوْ لَا مَجْلِسُهُ مَا رَفَعْتُ يَدِي حَتَّى تَمُوتِي فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَصَعِدَ إِلَى غُرْفَةٍ فَمَكَثَ فِيهَا شَهْراً لَا يَقْرَبُ شَيْئاً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ يَتَغَدَّى وَ يَتَعَشَّى فِيهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ.

Umar said, ‘O enemy of Allahazwj! The Prophetsaww does not speak except truth. By the Oneazwj Who Sent himsaww with the Truth! Had it not been hissaww gathering, I would not have raised (stopped) my hand until you would have died’. The Prophetsaww stood up and ascended to a room and stayed in it for a month, not going near anything from hissaww women, having breakfast and dinner in it. So, Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed this Verse’.

وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ إِنَّكُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ مَغْفُورٌ لَكُمْ

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from Ali Bin Abdullah Bin Al Husayn, from his father,

‘From Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, a man said to himasws, ‘You the Peopleasws of the Household, youasws are all Forgiven’.

قَالَ فَغَضِبَ وَ قَالَ نَحْنُ أَحْرَى أَنْ يَجْرِيَ فِينَا مَا أَجْرَى اللَّهُ فِي أَزْوَاجِ النَّبِيِّ ص مِنْ أَنْ نَكُونَ كَمَا تَقُولُ إِنَّا نَرَى لِمُحْسِنِنَا ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ وَ لِمُسِيئِنَا ضِعْفَيْنِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْآيَتَيْنِ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws was angered and said: ‘Weasws are free. It flows regarding usasws what Allahazwj Flowed regarding the wives of the Prophetsaww, from usasws to become just as you are saying. Weasws see for ourasws good doers double the Recompense, and for ourasws sinners, double from the Punishment’. Then heasws recited the two Verses’’.

رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ ع كَانَ مِنَ‏ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَ الذَّاكِراتِ‏.

It is reported from Abu Abdullahasws: ‘One who dies upon the Tasbeeh (glorification) of Fatimaasws, would be from and the men who do Zikr of Allah a lot, and the women who do Zikr [33:35]’’.

وَ رَوَى ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا انْقَضَتْ عِدَّةُ زَيْنَبَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِزَيْدٍ اذْهَبْ فَاذْكُرْهَا عَلَيَّ

And it is reported by Sabit, from Anas Bin Malik (famous Ahadith fabricator) who said, ‘When the waiting period of Zaynab expired, Rasool-Allahsaww said to Zayd: ‘Go and mention her unto mesaww’.

قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَقُلْتُ يَا زَيْنَبُ أَبْشِرِي قَدْ أَرْسَلَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَذْكُرُكَ وَ نَزَلَ الْقُرْآنُ وَ جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ لِقَوْلِهِ‏ زَوَّجْناكَها

Zayd said, ‘I went and said, ‘O Zaynab, receive glad tidings for Rasool-Allahsaww has mentioned youas and the Quran (Verse) is Revealed’. And Rasool-Allahsaww came to her without permission due to Hisazwj Words: We Married her to you [33:37]’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ زَيْدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَإِذَا هِيَ تُخَمِّرُ عَجِينَهَا فَلَمَّا رَأَيْتُهَا عَظُمَتْ فِي نَفْسِي حَتَّى مَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهَا حِينَ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص ذَكَرَهَا فَوَلَّيْتُهَا ظَهْرِي وَ قُلْتُ يَا زَيْنَبُ أَبْشِرِي إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَخْطُبُكِ فَفَرِحَتْ بِذَلِكَ وَ قَالَتْ مَا أَنَا بِصَانِعَةٍ شَيْئاً حَتَّى أُوَامِرَ رَبِّي

And in another report – Zayd said, ‘I went and there she was fermenting her dough. When I saw her I magnified her within myself until I was not able to look at her when I knew that Rasool-Allahsaww had mentioned her. So, I turned my back towards her and said, ‘O Zaynab, receive glad tidings. Rasool-Allahsaww has proposed to you’. She was joyful with that and said, ‘I will not do anything until I am Commanded by my Lordazwj’.

فَقَامَتْ إِلَى مَسْجِدِهَا وَ نَزَلَ‏ زَوَّجْناكَها فَتَزَوَّجَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ دَخَلَ بِهَا وَ مَا أَوْلَمَ عَلَى امْرَأَةٍ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ مَا أَوْلَمَ عَلَيْهَا ذَبَحَ شَاةً وَ أَطْعَمَ النَّاسَ الْخُبْزَ وَ اللَّحْمَ حَتَّى امْتَدَّ النَّهَارُ.

She stood up to her praying place, and it was Revealed: We Married her to you [33:37]. So, Rasool-Allahsaww married her and entered her (into hissaww house), and hesaww did not give a feast upon any woman from hissaww women what feast hesaww gave upon her. Hesaww slaughtered a sheep and fed the people, the bread and the meat until the day extended’’.

Tafseer Qummi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Talha Bin Zayd,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws fatherasws regarding the Words of the Exalted: and do not display your finery like the displaying of the Pre-Islamic period before; [33:33], heasws said: ‘Yes, another (period of) ignorance would occur’’.¹⁷⁰

2- فس، تفسير القمي‏ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ ما كانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ سَبَبَ نُزُولِهَا أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ النَّبِيُّ أَوْلى‏ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَزْواجُهُ أُمَّهاتُهُمْ‏ وَ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ نِسَاءَ النَّبِيِّ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَضِبَ طَلْحَةُ فَقَالَ يُحَرِّمُ مُحَمَّدٌ عَلَيْنَا نِسَاءَهُ وَ يَتَزَوَّجُ هُوَ بِنِسَائِنَا لَئِنْ أَمَاتَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّداً لَنَرْكُضَنَّ بَيْنَ خَلَاخِيلِ نِسَائِهِ كَمَا رَكَضَ بَيْنَ خَلَاخِيلِ نِسَائِنَا

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Hisazwj Words: And it was not for you that you should hurt Rasool-Allah, [33:53]. The reason for its Revelation is that when Allahazwj Revealed: The Prophet is foremost with the Momineen than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers; [33:6], and Allahazwj Prohibited the wives of the Prophetsaww to the Muslims, Talha was angered and said, ‘Muhammadsaww prohibited hissaww wives to us and hesaww marries our wives (divorcees or widows). If Allahazwj Causes Muhammadsaww to die we will run around the anklets of hissaww wives just as hesaww runs between the anklets of our wives’.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ ما كانَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تُؤْذُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لا أَنْ تَنْكِحُوا أَزْواجَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ أَبَداً إِنَّ ذلِكُمْ كانَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَظِيماً إِنْ تُبْدُوا شَيْئاً أَوْ تُخْفُوهُ‏ الْآيَةَ

Allahazwj Revealed: And it was not for you that you should hurt Rasool-Allah, nor that you marry his wives from after him, ever! Surely, that would be grievous in the Presence of Allah [33:53] Whether you reveal a thing or conceal it, [33:54] – the Verse.

ثُمَّ رَخَّصَ لِقَوْمٍ مَعْرُوفِينَ الدُّخُولَ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِغَيْرِ إِذْنٍ فَقَالَ‏ لا جُناحَ عَلَيْهِنَ‏ الْآيَةَ

Then there was an allowance for a good people, the entry to them without permission, so Heazwj Said: ‘There is no blame on them (wives) [33:55] – The Verse.

يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ وَ بَناتِكَ وَ نِساءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِنْ جَلَابِيبِهِنَ‏ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ سَبَبَ نُزُولِهَا أَنَّ النِّسَاءَ كُنَّ يَخْرُجْنَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَ يُصَلِّينَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَإِذَا كَانَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ خَرَجْنَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ وَ الْغَدَاةِ يَقْعُدُ الشَّبَابُ لَهُنَّ فِي طَرِيقِهِنَّ فَيُؤْذُونَهُنَّ وَ يَتَعَرَّضُونَ لَهُنَّ فَنَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ.

O you Prophet! Say to your wives, and your daughters, and the womenfolk of the Momineen to draw their outer garments upon themselves. [33:59] – the reason for its Revelation was that the women became going out to the Masjid and pray Salat behind Rasool-Allahsaww.

Tafseer Al-Qummi - and what your right hands possess from what Allah Granted as a booty unto you [33:50] – meaning from the war booty, up to Hisazwj Words: and a Momina who gifts herself to the Prophet [33:50]. The reason of its Revelation was that a woman from the Helpers came to Rasool-Allahsaww and she had made up and adorned, and she said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Is there any need for regarding me, for I have gifted myself to yousaww’.

فَقَالَتْ لَهَا عَائِشَةُ قَبَّحَكِ اللَّهُ مَا أَنْهَمَكِ لِلرِّجَالِ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَهْ يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّهَا رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِذْ زَهِدْتِي فِيهِ

Ayesha said to her, ‘May Allahazwj Make you ugly! How much is your engrossment for the men!’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘Shh, O Ayesha, for she is desirous regarding Rasool-Allahsaww when you are abstaining from mesaww regarding it’.

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – ‘My father, from sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww did not marry hissaww wives nor got hissaww daughters married upon anything more than twelve ‘Owqiyas’ and one ‘Nash’, and the ‘Owqiya is of forty Dirhams, and the ‘Nash’ is of twenty Dirhams’’.¹⁸³

15- فس، تفسير القمي‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ أَجْراً عَظِيماً فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ سَبَبَ نُزُولِهَا أَنَّهُ لَمَّا رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ غَزْوَةِ خَيْبَرَ وَ أَصَابَ كَنْزَ آلِ أَبِي الْحُقَيْقِ قُلْنَ أَزْوَاجُهُ أَعْطِنَا مَا أَصَبْتَ

Tafseer Al-Qummi - O Prophet! Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you and release you with a gracious release [33:28] – up to Hisazwj Words: a mighty Recompense [33:29]. The reason for its Revelation was that when Rasool-Allahsaww returned from the battle of Khyber and attained the treasure of the family of Abu Al-Huqeyq, hissaww wives say, ‘Give us from what yousaww have attained’.

فَقَالَ لَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَسَّمْتُهُ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ فَغَضِبْنَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ قُلْنَ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّكَ إِنْ طَلَّقْتَنَا أَنْ لَا نَجِدَ الْأَكْفَاءَ مِنْ قَوْمِنَا يَتَزَّوَجُونَّا فَأَنِفَ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَعْتَزِلَهُنَّ فَاعْتَزَلَهُنَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي مَشْرَبَةِ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ تِسْعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً حَتَّى حِضْنَ وَ طَهُرْنَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to them: ‘It will be distributed between the Muslims upon what Allahazwj has Commanded’. They were angered from that and say, ‘Perhaps yousaww are viewing that if yousaww were to divorce us we will not find our match from our people to be married to?’ Allahazwj Scorned for (of behalf of) Hisazwj Rasoolsaww that hesaww should isolate them. So, Rasool-Allahsaww isolated from them in the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim (Mariah the Coptic) for nineteen days until they menstruated and were clean.

ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَ هِيَ آيَةُ التَّخْيِيرِ فَقَالَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ أَجْراً عَظِيماً فَقَامَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ قَامَتْ فَقَالَتْ قَدِ اخْتَرْتُ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَقُمْنَ كُلُّهُنَّ فَعَانَقْنَهُ وَ قُلْنَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

Then Allahazwj Revealed this Verse, and it is the Verse of the choice. Heazwj Said: O Prophet! Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you and release you with a gracious release [33:28] – up to Hisazwj Words: a mighty Recompense [33:29]. Umm Salmara stood up first from the ones who stood up and shera said, ‘Ira have chosen Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’. Then all of them stood up and hugged himsaww and said similar to that.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَ تُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ فَقَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع مَنْ آوَى فَقَدْ نَكَحَ وَ مَنْ أَرْجَى فَقَدْ طَلَّقَ

Allahazwj Revealed: You may defer the one you so desire to from them and shelter to yourself one you so desire to, [33:51] – Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘One hesaww shelters so hesaww has married, and one whom hesaww defers, so hesaww has divorced’.

وَ قَوْلُهُ‏ تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَ تُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ مَعَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَ أُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَراحاً جَمِيلًا وَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعَدَّ لِلْمُحْسِناتِ مِنْكُنَّ أَجْراً عَظِيماً وَ قَدْ أُخِّرْتُ عَنْهَا فِي التَّأْلِيفِ

And Hisazwj Words: ‘You may defer the one you so desire to from them and shelter to yourself one you so desire to, [33:51] is with the Verse: O Prophet! Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you and release you with a gracious release [33:28] And if you were intending Allah and His Rasool, and the House of the Hereafter, then surely Allah has Prepared for the good doers from you, a mighty Recompense [33:29], and it has been set back from it during the composition (of the Holy Quran)’.

ثُمَّ خَاطَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نِسَاءَ نَبِيِّهِ ص فَقَالَ‏ يا نِساءَ النَّبِيِّ مَنْ يَأْتِ مِنْكُنَّ بِفاحِشَةٍ مُبَيِّنَةٍ يُضاعَفْ لَهَا الْعَذابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ نُؤْتِها أَجْرَها مَرَّتَيْنِ‏ وَ أَعْتَدْنا لَها رِزْقاً كَرِيماً-

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Addressed the wives of Hisazwj Prophetsaww. Heazwj Said: O wives of the prophet! The one from you who comes with an open immorality, the Punishment would be increased for her doubly, [33:30] – up to Hisazwj Words: We shall Give her Recompense to her twice, and Prepare for her an honourable sustenance [33:31]’’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ قَالَ أَجْرَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ الْعَذَابُ ضِعْفَيْنِ كُلُّ هَذَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَيْثُ يَكُونُ الْأَجْرُ يَكُونُ‏ الْعَذَابُ‏.

And in a report of Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Her Recompense would be double and the Punishment would be double. All of this would be in the Hereafter when the Recompense will be occurring and the Punishment will be happening’’.¹⁸⁴

Tafseer Al Qummi – Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Hammad, from Hareez who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Words of Allahazwj: O wives of the prophet! The one from you who comes with an open immorality, the Punishment would be increased for her doubly, [33:30]. Heasws said: ‘The (open) immorality is the going out with the sword (in battle)’’.¹⁸⁵

(The book) ‘Al Sarair’ (The secrets) – ‘Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Allahazwj has not Prohibited anything except and Heazwj has been disobeyed regarding it, because the wives of Rasool-Allahsaww had got married from after himsaww. Abu Bakr gave them a choice between the veiling and not getting married, or getting married. They chose the marriage, and he got them married.

قَالَ زُرَارَةُ وَ لَوْ سَأَلْتُ بَعْضَهُمْ أَ رَأَيْتَ لَوْ أَنَّ أَبَاكَ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْ بِهَا حَتَّى مَاتَ أَ تَحِلُّ لَكَ إِذَنْ لَقَالَ لَا وَ هُمْ قَدِ اسْتَحَلُّوا أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُوا أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِثْلُ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ‏.

Zurara said, ‘If one of them were to be asked, ‘What is your view if your father were to marry a woman and does not copulate with her until he dies, will she be Permissible for you?’ Then he will say, ‘No’, and they have allowed the their mothers get married if they were Momineen, for the wives of Rasool-Allahsaww were like their mothers’’.¹⁸⁶

Tafseer Al Qummi – From Al Husayn Bin Zayd who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Allahazwj has Prohibited the wives of the Prophetsaww upon us. Allahazwj Says: And you cannot marry from the women whom your fathers married [4:22]’’.¹⁸⁷

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – ‘Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws), he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘What is yourasws view of the Words of Allahazwj: The women are not Permissible for you afterwards, nor for you to replace them with (other) wives [33:52]. Heasws said: ‘But rather it means by it which Allahazwj Prohibited upon himsaww in this Verse: Prohibited unto you are your mothers [4:22]’’.¹⁸⁸

20 عم، إعلام الورى أول امرأة تزوجها رسول الله ص خديجة بنت خويلد بن أسد بن عبد العزى بن قصي تزوجها و هو ابن خمس و عشرين سنة و كانت قبله عند عتيق بن عائذ المخزومي فولدت له جارية ثم تزوجها أبو هالة الأسدي فولدت له هند بن أبي هالة ثم تزوجها رسول الله ص و ربى ابنها هندا

(The book) ‘Alaam Al-Wara’ – The first woman Rasool-Allahsaww married was Khadeejaas Bint Khuweylid Bin Asad Bin Abdul Uzza Bin Qusay. Hesaww married her and hesaww was twenty five years old, and before himsaww she was under (married to) Ateeq Bin Aiz Al Makhzumy. Sheas gave birth for him to a girl. The Abu Jalah Al Asady married her and sheas gave birth for him to Hinda Bin Abu Hala. Then Rasool-Allahsaww married her, and brought up heras son Hinda.

و لما استوى رسول الله ص و بلغ أشده و ليس له كثير مال‏ استأجرته خديجة إلى سوق خباشة فلما رجع تزوج خديجة زوجها إياه أبوها خويلد بن أسد و قيل زوجها عمها عمرو بن أسد و خطب أبو طالب لنكاحها و من شاهده من قريش حضور

When Rasool-Allahsaww matured and reached strength, and there wasn’t a lot of wealth for himsaww, Khadeejaas employed himsaww to a market of Khabasha. When hesaww returned, hesaww married Khadeejaas. Heras father Khuweylid Bin Asad got her to be married to himsaww. And it is said heras uncle Amro Bin Asad got heras married, and Abu Talibas proposed for theirasws marriage, and the ones from Quraysh who attended.

فقال الحمد لله الذي جعلنا من زرع إبراهيم و ذرية إسماعيل و جعل لنا بيتا محجوجا و حَرَماً آمِناً يُجْبى‏ إِلَيْهِ ثَمَراتُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ و جعلنا الحكام على الناس في بلدنا الذي نحن فيه ثم إن ابن أخي محمد بن عبد الله بن عبد المطلب‏ لا يوزن برجل من قريش إلا رجح‏ و لا يقاس بأحد منهم إلا عظم عنه‏

The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Made us to be from the plantation of Ibrahimas and offspring of Ismail, and Made a House (Kaaba) to be for us to be Pilgrimaged to, sacred (territory) for them, the fruits of all things [28:57], and Made us the rulers upon the people in our city which we are in. Then, a sonsaww of myas brotheras Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas Bin Abdul Muttalibas, cannot be weighed with a man from Quraysh except hesaww would outweigh, nor can hesaww be measured with anyone from them except hesaww would be mightier than him.

و إن كان في المال قل فإن المال رزق حائل و ظل زائل و له في خديجة رغبة و لها فيه رغبة و الصداق ما سألتم عاجله و آجله من مالي و له خطر عظيم‏ و شأن رفيع و لسان شافع جسيم

And even if hesaww is less in wealth, for the wealth is a hindrance and a declining shadow, and for himsaww there is a desire regarding Khadeejaas, and for heras regarding himsaww is a desire, and the dower is what you have asked for, immediate and future from myas wealth, and for himsaww is a large share and a lofty occupation, and a great interceding tongue’.

فزوجه و دخل بها من الغد و لم يتزوج عليها رسول الله ص حتى ماتت و أقامت معه أربعا و عشرين سنة و شهرا و مهرها اثنتا عشرة أوقية و نش و كذلك مهر سائر نسائه

Hesaww married heras and went to heras the next morning and did not marry (any other wife) until sheas passed away, and sheas stayed with himsaww for twenty four years and one month, and heras dowry was twelve ‘Owqiya’ and one ‘Nash’, and like that was the dowry of the rest of hissaww wives.

فأول ما حملت ولدت عبد الله بن محمد و هو الطيب الطاهر و ولدت له القاسم و قيل إن القاسم أكبر و هو بكره‏ و به كان يكنى و الناس يغلطون فيقولون ولد له منها أربع بنين القاسم و عبد الله و الطيب و الطاهر و إنما ولد له منها ابنان و أربع بنات زينب و رقية و أم كلثوم و فاطمة

The first of what sheas bore was the birth of Abdullahas sonas of Muhammadsaww, and heas is Al Tayyibas and Al Tahiras, and there was born for himsaww Al Qasimas. And it is said that Al Qasimas is the eldest and heas is the first-born, and by himas hesaww is teknonymed, and the people are mistaken in saying that four sonsas were born for himsaww – Al Qasimas, and Abdullahas, and Al Tayyibas, and Al Tahiras, and rather two sonsas were born for himsaww and four daughtersas – Zaynabas, and Ruqaiyaas, and Umm Kulsoomas, and Fatimaasws.

فأما زينب بنت رسول الله ص فتزوجها أبو العاص‏ بن الربيع بن عبد العزى بن عبد شمس بن عبد مناف في الجاهلية فولدت لأبي العاص جارية اسمها أمامة تزوجها علي بن أبي طالب بعد وفاة فاطمة ع و قتل علي ع و عنده أمامة فخلف عليها بعده المغيرة بن نوفل بن الحارث بن عبد المطلب‏ و توفيت عنده

As for Zaynabas daughteras of Rasool-Allahsaww, and sheas was married to by Abu Al Aas Bin Al Rabie Bin Abdul Uzza Bin Abd Shams Bin Abd Manaf during the pre-Islamic period, and a girl was born for Abu Al Aas her name is Amama. She was married to by Ali Bin Abu Talibas after the expiry of Fatimaasws, and Aliasws was killed and Amama was with himasws. There was a replacement upon her after himasws by Al Mugheira Bin Nowfal Bin Al Haris son of Abdul Muttalibas, and she expired (when) with him.

و أم أبي العاص هالة بنت خويلد فخديجة خالته و ماتت زينب بالمدينة لسبع سنين من الهجرة و أما رقية بنت رسول الله ص فتزوجها عتبة بن أبي لهب فطلقها قبل أن يدخل بها و لحقها منه أذى‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ اللَّهُمَ‏ سَلِّطْ عَلَى عُتْبَةَ كَلْباً مِنْ كِلَابِكَ.

And Umm Abu Al Aas Hala Bint Khuweylid. Khadeejaas was her maternal aunt. And Zaynabas passed away at Al Medina seven years from the emigration. And as for Ruqaiya Bint Rasool-Allahsaww, she was married to by Utba Bin Abu Lahab. He divorced her before he had established marital relations with her, and she faced harm from him, so the Prophetsaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Cause a hound from Yourazwj hounds to overcome upon Utba’’.

فتناوله الأسد من بين أصحابه و تزوجها بعده بالمدينة عثمان بن عفان فولدت له عبد الله و مات صغيرا نقره ديك على عينيه فمرض و مات و توفيت بالمدينة زمن بدر فتخلف عثمان على دفنها و منعه ذلك أن يشهد بدرا و قد كان عثمان هاجر إلى الحبشة و معه رقية

A lion attacked him from between his companions, and after him she was married to by Usman Bin Affan and she gave birth for him to Abdullah, and he died when small, a rooster had plucked upon his eye, and he fell sick and died, and she expired at Al Medina at the time of Badr. Usman stayed behind to bury her and it prevented him from attending Badr, and Usman had emigrated to Ethiopia and with him was Ruqaiya.

و أما أم كلثوم فتزوجها أيضا عثمان بعد أختها رقية و توفيت عنده

And as for Umm Kulsoomas, sheas was married as well to Usman after heras sisteras Ruqaiya and sheas died when with him.

و أما فاطمة ع فسنفرد لها بابا فيما بعد إن شاء الله و لم يكن لرسول الله ص ولد من غير خديجة إلا إبراهيم بن رسول الله ص من مارية القبطية و ولد بالمدينة سنة ثمان من الهجرة و مات بها و له سنة و ستة أشهر و أيام و قبره بالبقيع.

And as for Fatimaasws, so we (Majlisi) have kept aside for herasws a chapter afterwards, if Allahazwj so Desires, and there did not happen to be for Rasool-Allahazwj any child from other than Khadeejaas except Ibrahimas sonas of Rasool-Allahsaww from Mariah the Coptic, and hesaww was born at Al Medina in the year eight from the emigration, and heas passed away at it, and for himsaww was one year and nine months and some days, and hisas grave is at Al Baqie.

و الثانية سودة بنت زمعة و كانت قبله عند السكران بن عمرو فمات عنها بالحبشة مسلما.

And the second – awda Bint Zam’a, and he was before himsaww with Al Sakran Bin Amro. He died from her at Ethiopia as a Muslim.

و الثالثة عائشة بنت أبي بكر تزوجها بمكة و هي بنت سبع و لم يتزوج بكرا غيرها و دخل بها و هي بنت تسع لسبعة أشهر من مقدمه المدينة و بقيت إلى خلافة معاوية.

و الرابعة أم شريك التي وهبت نفسها للنبي ص و اسمها غزية بنت دودان بن عوف بن عامر و كانت قبله عند أبي العكر بن سمي الأزدي فولدت له شريكا.

And the fourth – Umm Shareek who had gifted herelf to the Prophetsaww, and her name was Gaziya Bint Dowdan Bin Awf Bin Aamir, and before himsaww she was with Abu Al Akr Bin Sami Al Azdy and gave birth to Shareek for him.

و الخامسة حفصة بنت عمر بن الخطاب تزوجها بعد ما مات زوجها حنيس بن عبد الله بن حذافة السهمي و كان رسول الله ص قد وجهه إلى كسرى فمات و لا عقب له و ماتت بالمدينة في خلافة عثمان.

And the fifth – Hafsa Bint Umar Bin Al Khattab. Hesaww married her after her husband Huneys Bin Abdullah Bin Hazafat Al Sahmy had died from her, and Rasool-Allahsaww had diverted him to Chosroe, and he died, and there was no posterity for him, and she died at Al Medina during the caliphate of Usman.

و السادسة أم حبيبة بنت أبي سفيان و اسمها رملة و كانت تحت عبيد الله بن جحش الأسدي فهاجر بها إلى الحبشة و تنصر بها و مات هناك فتزوجها رسول الله ص بعده و كان وكيله عمرو بن أمية الضمري‏

And the sixth – Umm Habeeba Bint Abu Sufyan, and her name was Ramla, and she was under Ubeydullah Bin Jahash Al Asady. He emigrated with her to Ethiopia and was helps by her, and he died over there, and Rasool-Allahsaww married her after him, and hissaww representative was Amro Bin Umayya Al Zamry.

و السابعة أم سلمة و هي بنت عمته عاتكة بنت عبد المطلب و قيل هي عاتكة بنت عامر بن ربيعة من بني فراس بن غنم و اسمها هند بنت أبي أمية بن المغيرة بن عبد الله بن عمرو بن مخزوم و هي ابنة عم أبي جهل و روي أن رسول الله ص أرسل إلى أم سلمة أن مري ابنك أن يزوجك فزوجها ابنها سلمة بن أبي سلمة من رسول الله ص و هو غلام لم يبلغ و أدى عنه النجاشي صداقها أربعمائة دينار عند العقد

And the seventh – Umm Salmara, and sheasws is a daughter of hissaww paternal aunt Aatika Bint Abdul Muttalibas. And it is said, she is Aatika Bint Aamir Bin Rabie from the clan of Faras Bin Ghanam, and her name is hind Bint Abu Umaya Bin Al Mugheira Bin Abdullah Bin Amro Bin Makhzum, and she is a daughter of an uncle of Abu Jahlla. And it is reported that Rasool-Allahsaww sent a message to Umm Salmara: ‘Instruct your son to get youra married’. So herra son Salma Bin Abu Salma got herra married to Rasool-Allahsaww, and he was a boy not yet reached puberty, and Al Najashy paid herra dower of four hundred Dinars during the marriage tie.

و كانت أم سلمة من آخر أزواج النبي ص وفاة بعده و كانت عند أبي سلمة بن عبد الأسد و أمه برة بنت عبد المطلب فهو ابن عمة رسول الله ص و كان لأم سلمة منه زينب و عمر و كان عمر مع علي يوم الجمل و ولاه البحرين و له عقب بالمدينة و من مواليها شيبة بن نصاح إمام أهل المدينة في القراءة و خيرة أم الحسن البصري.

And Umm Salmara was the last of the wives of the Prophetsaww and shera passed away after himsaww, and shera was with Abu Salma Bin Abdul Asad, and his mother was Barah Bint Abdul Muttalibas, so he is a son of a paternal aunt of Rasool-Allahsaww, and for Umm Salmara from him was Zaynab, and Umar, and Umar was with Ali on the day of the camel (battle of Basra), and heasws made him governor of Bahrain, and for him was posterity at Al Medina; and from his friends were Shayba Bin Nasah, imam of the people of Al Medina regarding the recitation, and Hira, or Al Hassan Al Basry.

و الثامنة زينب بنت جحش الأسدية و هي ابنة عمته ميمونة بنت عبد المطلب و هي أول من مات من أزواجه بعده توفيت في خلافة عمر و كانت قبله عند زيد بن حارثة فطلقها زيد و ذكر الله تعالى شأنه و شأن زوجته زينب في القرآن و هي أول امرأة جعل لها النعش جعلت لها أسماء بنت عميس يوم توفيت و كانت بأرض الحبشة رأتهم يصنعون ذلك.

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad altogether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked himasws about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: O you Prophet! Surely We Made lawful for you, your wives [33:50], how many from the women were Permissible for himsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘Whatever hesaww so desired from anything’.

قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ‏ لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّساءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ لا أَنْ تَبَدَّلَ بِهِنَّ مِنْ أَزْواجٍ‏ فَقَالَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَنْكِحَ مَا شَاءَ مِنْ بَنَاتِ عَمِّهِ وَ بَنَاتِ عَمَّاتِهِ وَ بَنَاتِ خَالِهِ وَ بَنَاتِ خَالاتِهِ وَ أَزْوَاجِهِ اللَّاتِي هَاجَرْنَ مَعَهُ وَ أَحَلَّ لَهُ أَنْ يَنْكِحَ مِنْ عِرْضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِغَيْرِ مَهْرٍ وَ هِيَ الْهِبَةُ وَ لَا تَحِلُّ الْهِبَةُ إِلَّا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

I said, ‘(What about) Hisazwj Words: The women are not Permissible for you afterwards, nor for you to replace them with (other) wives [33:52]?’ So heasws said: ‘For Rasool-Allahsaww is that hesaww could marry from a daughter of hissaww paternal uncle and a daughter of hissaww paternal aunt, and a daughter of hissaww maternal uncle and a daughter of hissaww maternal aunt, and hissaww wives who emigrated with himsaww; and is was Permissible for himsaww that hesaww marries the ones who present themselves from the Momineen without a dower, and it is the gifting, and the gifting is not Permissible except to Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَأَمَّا لِغَيْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَا يَصْلُحُ نِكَاحٌ إِلَّا بِمَهْرٍ وَ ذَلِكَ مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ امْرَأَةً مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَها لِلنَّبِيِ‏

So as for the others than Rasool-Allahsaww, a marriage is not correct except with a dower, and that is the Meaning of the Words of the Exalted: and a Momina who gifts herself to the Prophet [33:50]’.

قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ قَوْلَهُ‏ تُرْجِي مَنْ تَشاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَ تُؤْوِي إِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ قَالَ مَنْ آوَى‏ فَقَدْ نَكَحَ وَ مَنْ أَرْجَى فَلَمْ يَنْكِحْ

I said, ‘What is yourasws view of Hisazwj Words: You may defer one you so desire to from them and shelter to yourself one you so desire to [33:51]?’ Heasws said: ‘The one who came forward hesaww married and the one who stayed back hesaww did not marry’.

قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ‏ لا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّساءُ مِنْ بَعْدُ قَالَ إِنَّمَا عَنَى بِهِ النِّسَاءَ اللَّاتِي حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهاتُكُمْ وَ بَناتُكُمْ وَ أَخَواتُكُمْ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ وَ لَوْ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ‏ كَانَ قَدْ أَحَلَّ لَكُمْ مَا لَمْ يُحِلَّ لَهُ إِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَسْتَبْدِلُ كُلَّمَا أَرَادَ وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَ الْأَمْرُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ

I said, ‘(What about) Hisazwj Words: The women are not Permissible for you afterwards [33:52]?’ Heasws said: ‘But rather it Means by the women who were Prohibited unto himsaww in this Verse: Prohibited unto you are your mothers, and your daughters [4:23] – up to the end of the Verse. And had the matter been as they (people) are saying it to be, it would have been Permissible for you what was not Permissible for himsaww if one of you replaced (wives) whenever he so wanted to. But, the matter is not as they are saying it to be.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ مَا أَرَادَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ الَّتِي فِي النِّسَاءِ.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Permitted for Hisazwj Prophet whatever hesaww so wanted from the women except what was Prohibited unto himsaww in this Verse which is in Surah Al Nisa (Chapter 4 of the Holy Quran)’’.¹⁹⁶

Al Kafi – The number, from Sahl, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: The women are not Permissible for you afterwards, nor for you to replace them with (other) wives even though their beauty may fascinate you, except what your right hands possess, [33:52]. Heasws said: ‘Iasws am seeing that you all are alleging that it is Permissible for you all whatever was Permissible for Rasool-Allahsaww, and Allahazwj the Exalted had Permitted to Hisazwj Rasoolsaww that hesaww could marry from the women whatever hesaww so desired to.

إِنَّمَا قَالَ لَا يَحِلُّ لَكَ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِ الَّذِي حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكَ قَوْلُهُ‏ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهاتُكُمْ وَ بَناتُكُمْ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ.

But rather Heazwj Said: “The women are not Permissible to yousaww from after that which has been Prohibited upon yousaww”. Hisazwj Words: Prohibited unto you are your mothers, and your daughters, [4:23] – up to the end of the Verse’’.¹⁹⁷

And had the matter been as they (people) are saying it to be, it would have been Permissible for you what was not Permissible for himsaww, because one of you are changing (wives) every times you want, but the matter is not as they are saying it to be. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Permitted for Hisazwj Prophetsaww that hesaww can marry from the women whatever hesaww so wanted to, except what was Prohibited unto himsaww in this Verse, in the Surah Al-Nisa (Chapter 4)’’.¹⁹⁹

32- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ‏ فِي تَسْمِيَةِ نِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ نَسَبِهِنَّ وَ صِفَتِهِنَّ عَائِشَةُ وَ حَفْصَةُ وَ أُمُّ حَبِيبٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ بْنِ حَرْبٍ وَ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَ سَوْدَةُ بِنْتُ زَمْعَةَ وَ مَيْمُونَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ وَ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ وَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ بِنْتُ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ جُوَيْرِيَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ

And from him, from Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Abu Baseer and someone else - ‘With regards to the names of the wives of the Prophetsaww, and their lineages, and their description – Ayesha, and Hafsa, and Umm Habeeb Bint Abu Sufyan Bin Harb, and Zaynab Bint Jahsh, and Sawda Bint Zam’a, and Maymouna Bint Al-Haris, and Safiyya Bint Hayy Bin Akhtab, and Umm Salmaas Bint Amayya, and Juweyriya Bint Al-Haris.

وَ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ مِنْ بَنِي تَيْمٍ وَ حَفْصَةُ مِنْ بَنِي عَدِيٍ‏ وَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ وَ سَوْدَةُ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى وَ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَ عِدَادُهَا مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ أُمُّ حَبِيبٍ بِنْتُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ مَيْمُونَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ مِنْ بَنِي هِلَالٍ وَ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

And Ayesha was from (Clan of) Taym, and Hafsa was from Adayy, and Umm Salmaas was from the Clan of Makhzoum, and Sawda was from the Clan of Asad Bin Abdul Uzza, and Zaynab Bint Jahsh was from the Clan of Asad; and a number were from the Clan of Umayya, and Umm Habeeb Bint Abu Sufyan was from the Clan of Umayya, and Maymouna Bint Al-Haris was from the Clan of Hilal, and Safiyya Bint Hayy Bin Akhtab was from the children of Israel.

وَ مَاتَ ص عَنْ تِسْعٍ‏ وَ كَانَ لَهُ سِوَاهُنَّ الَّتِي‏ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَها لِلنَّبِيِ‏ ص وَ خَدِيجَةُ بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ أُمُّ وَلَدِهِ‏ وَ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ أَبِي الْجَوْنِ الَّتِي خُدِعَتْ وَ الْكِنْدِيَّةُ.

And hesaww passed away leaving nine wives, and besides these wives were ones who had gifted themselves to the Prophetsaww, and Khadeejaas Bint Khuwaylid, a mother of hissaww child, and Zaynab Bint Abu Al-Jawn who was deceived, and Al-Kindiyat’’.²⁰⁰

Al Kafi – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Aasimy, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Bin Fazzal, from Ali Bin Asbat, from his uncle Yaqoub Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘What is yourasws view of the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: The women are not Permissible for you afterwards [33:52]?’

Heasws said: ‘But rather the women are not Permissible for himsaww, those which Allahazwj Prohibited upon himsaww in this Verse: Prohibited unto you are your mothers [4:23], in these Verses, all of them. If the matter had been just as they are saying it, it would have been Permissible for you what is not Permissible for himsaww, because one of you tends to replace (wives) every time he wants.

فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا لَمْ يَحِلَّ لَهُ النِّسَاءُ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَّهاتُكُمْ وَ بَناتُكُمْ‏ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ كُلِّهَا وَ لَوْ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ لَكَانَ قَدْ أَحَلَّ لَكُمْ مَا لَمْ يُحِلَّ لَهُ هُوَ لِأَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ يَسْتَبْدِلُ كُلَّمَا أَرَادَ وَ لَكِنْ لَيْسَ الْأَمْرُ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ أَحَادِيثُ آلِ مُحَمَّدِ خِلَافُ أَحَادِيثِ النَّاسِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَلَّ لِنَبِيِّهِ ص أَنْ يَنْكِحَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مَا أَرَادَ إِلَّا مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ.

The matter isn’t as they are saying. The Hadeeth of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww are different (opposite) from the Hadeeth of the people. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Permitted for Hisazwj that hesaww can marry from the women whatever (number) hesaww wants except what Allahazwj has Prohibited upon himsaww Surah Al-Nisaa in this Verse’’.²⁰¹

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws) having said: ‘If the wives of the Prophetsaww had not been Prohibited unto the people due to the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And it was not for you that you should hurt Rasool-Allah, nor that you marry his wives from after him [33:53], it would have still been Prohibited unto Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws due to the Words of Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted is Hisazwj Name: And you cannot marry from the women whom your fathers married [4:22], and it is not correct for the man that he marries a wife of his own grandfather’’.²⁰²

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from al Moalla, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Al Jaroud who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying, and heasws mentioned this Verse: And We Enjoined the human being kindness with his parents. [29:8], ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is one of the parents’. Abdullah Bin Ajlan said, ‘Who is the other one?’ Heasws said: ‘Aliasws, and hisasws wives are Prohibited unto usasws, and it is for usasws in particular’’.²⁰³

36- كا، الكافي عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُرْوَةَ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيِ‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ يُقَالُ لَهَا سَنَاةُ وَ كَانَتْ مِنْ أَجْمَلِ أَهْلِ زَمَانِهَا فَلَمَّا نَظَرَتْ إِلَيْهَا عَائِشَةُ وَ حَفْصَةُ قَالَتَا لَتَغْلِبُنَا هَذِهِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِجَمَالِهَا فَقَالَتَا لَهَا لَا يَرَى مِنْكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حِرْصاً فَلَمَّا دَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تَنَاوَلَهَا بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَتْ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ فَانْقَبَضَتْ يَدُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَنْهَا فَطَلَّقَهَا وَ أَلْحَقَهَا بِأَهْلِهَا

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umar Bin Azina who said, ‘It was narrated to me by Saeed Bin Abu Urwa, from Qatada, from Al Hassan Al Basry,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww married a woman called Sana from the Clan of Aamir Bin Sa’sa’at, and she was from the most beautiful of the people of her time. When Ayesha and Hafsa looked at her, they both said, ‘This one will overwhelm us upon Rasool-Allahsaww with her beauty’. They both said to her, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww does not see any keenness from you’. When she went over to Rasool-Allahsaww, hesaww held her by hissaww hand, so she said, ‘I seek Refuge with Allahazwj’. Rasool-Allahsaww let go of her hand and divorced her, and sent her to be with her family.

وَ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص امْرَأَةً مِنْ كِنْدَةَ بِنْتَ أَبِي الْجَوْنِ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ابْنُ مَارِيَةَ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ قَالَتْ لَوْ كَانَ نَبِيّاً مَا مَاتَ ابْنُهُ فَأَلْحَقَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِأَهْلِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا

And Rasool-Allahsaww married a woman from Kinda, daughter of Abu Al-Jawn. When Ibrahimas, sonas of Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, the sonas of Mariah the Coptic, she said, ‘Had hesaww been a Prophetsaww hissaww sonas would not have passed away’. Rasool-Allahsaww sent her to be with her family before establishing marital relationship with her.

فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ وُلِّيَ النَّاسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَتَتْهُ الْعَامِرِيَّةُ وَ الْكِنْدِيَّةُ وَ قَدْ خُطِبَتَا فَاجْتَمَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ فَقَالا لَهُمَا اخْتَارَا إِنْ شِئْتُمَا الْحِجَابَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُمَا الْبَاهَ فَاخْتَارَتَا الْبَاهَ فَتَزَوَّجَتَا فَجُذِمَ أَحَدُ الرَّجُلَيْنِ وَ جُنَّ الْآخَرُ.

When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, and Abu Bakr ruled the people, the Aamiriyya woman and the Kindiyya woman came over to him, and they had been proposed to (for marriage). Abu Bakr and Umar got together, and they both said to them, ‘Either both of you choose the veil if you so desire to, or if you so desire to you choose the sexual satisfaction’. They both chose the sexual satisfaction, but one of the two men (husbands) became a leper, and the other one became insane’ (even before touching them)’’.

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ أُذَيْنَةَ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ زُرَارَةَ وَ الْفُضَيْلَ فَرَوَيَا عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ عُصِيَ فِيهِ حَتَّى لَقَدْ نَكَحُوا أَزْوَاجَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ‏ ص مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ ذَكَرَ هَاتَيْنِ الْعَامِرِيَّةَ وَ الْكِنْدِيَّةَ

Umar Bin Azina said, ‘Zurara and Al Fazeyl both narrated this Hadeeth, and they both reported,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic did not Forbid from anything except and Heazwj has been disobeyed regarding it, to the extent that the wives of Rasool-Allahsaww got married from after himsaww’, and heasws mentioned these two, Al Aamiriyya and Al Kindiyya.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَوْ سَأَلْتُمْ عَنْ رَجُلٍ تَزَوَّجَ امْرَأَةً فَطَلَّقَهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بِهَا أَ تَحِلُّ لِابْنِهِ لَقَالُوا لَا فَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَعْظَمُ حُرْمَةً مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ‏.

Then Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘If you were to ask them about a man who marries a woman and divorces her before he copulates with her, would she be Permissible for his son? They would say, no. So, Rasool-Allahsaww is of greater sanctity that their own fathers are’’.²⁰⁴

37- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُوسَى‏ بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ نَحْوَهُ وَ قَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَحِلُّونَ‏ أَنْ يَتَزَوَّجُوا أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ وَ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْحُرْمَةِ مِثْلُ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ‏.

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Musa Bin Bakr, from Zurara Bin Ayn,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws – approximate to it, and heasws said in hisasws Hadeeth: ‘And they are permitting to marry their mothers, if they were Momineen, and that the Rasool-Allahsaww, regarding the sanctity, are like their mothers’’.²⁰⁵

38- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَهُ بُضْعُ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا وَ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ تِسْعُ نِسْوَةٍ وَ كَانَ يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ.

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy, from his father, or someone else, from Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jahm,

‘From Abu Al-Hassanasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had the virility of forty men, and there were nine wives with himsaww, and hesaww go around to them during every day and night’’.²⁰⁶

39- كا، الكافي عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: جَاءَتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ فِي مَنْزِلِ حَفْصَةَ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ مُتَلَبِّسَةٌ مُتَمَشِّطَةٌ فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَا تَخْطُبُ الزَّوْجَ وَ أَنَا امْرَأَةٌ أَيِّمٌ لَا زَوْجَ لِي مُنْذُ دَهْرٍ وَ لَا وَلَدَ فَهَلْ لَكَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ فَإِنْ تَكُ فَقَدْ وَهَبْتُ نَفْسِي لَكَ إِنْ قَبِلْتَنِي

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Riab, from Muhammad Bin Qays,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘A woman from the Helpers came to Rasool-Allahsaww and entered to see himsaww, and hesaww was in the house of Hafsa, and the woman had dressed up and combed her hair. She came to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The women do not tend to propose to the husband, and I am a woman who is widowed and have not married since a long time, and do not have children. So there a need for youasws, for if there is, so I have gifted myself to youasws, so accept me’.

فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَيْراً وَ دَعَا لَهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أُخْتَ الْأَنْصَارِ جَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ خَيْراً فَقَدْ نَصَرَنِي رِجَالُكُمْ وَ رَغِبَتْ فِيَّ نِسَاؤُكُمْ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا حَفْصَةُ مَا أَقَلَّ حَيَاءَكِ وَ أَجْرَأَكِ وَ أَنْهَمَكِ لِلرِّجَالِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كُفِّي عَنْهَا يَا حَفْصَةُ فَإِنَّهَا خَيْرٌ مِنْكِ رَغِبَتْ فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَلُمْتِيهَا وَ عَيَّبْتِيهَا

Rasool-Allahsaww said good things to her and supplicated for her, then said: ‘O sister of the Helpers. May Allahazwj Recompense you with goodness from Rasool-Allahazwj, for your men have helped measws, and your womenfolk have desired measws’. Hafsa said to her, ‘How little is your shame, and how audacious of you and your coveting the men!’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘Restrain from her, O Hafsa, for she is better than you in desiring Rasool-Allahsaww, but you are blaming her and faulting her’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْمَرْأَةِ انْصَرِفِي رَحِمَكِ اللَّهُ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَكِ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَغْبَتِكِ‏ فِيَّ وَ تَعَرُّضِكِ لِمَحَبَّتِي وَ سُرُورِي وَ سَيَأْتِيكِ أَمْرِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ امْرَأَةً مُؤْمِنَةً إِنْ وَهَبَتْ نَفْسَها لِلنَّبِيِّ إِنْ أَرادَ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ يَسْتَنْكِحَها خالِصَةً لَكَ مِنْ دُونِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏

Then heasws said to the woman of the Helpers: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you, for Allahazwj has Obligated the Paradise for you due to your desire for me and your being pleased with myasws love and my delight. Myasws order will come to you, Allahazwj Willing’. Thus, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed: and a Momina who gifts herself to the Prophet, if the Prophet wants to marry her, being particularly for you from besides the Momineen. [33:50]’.

قَالَ فَأَحَلَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هِبَةَ الْمَرْأَةِ نَفْسَهَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ لَا يَحِلُّ ذَلِكَ لِغَيْرِهِ‏.

Heasws: ‘Thus, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Permitted the woman gifting herself to Rasool-Allahsaww, and that is not Permissible for others’’.²⁰⁷

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Muawiya Bin Hueym, from Safwan and Ali Bin al Hassan Bin Ribat, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazaz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the choice. Heasws said: ‘And what is it and what is that. But rather that is some which was for Rasool-Allahsaww (only)’’.²⁰⁸

41- كا، الكافي حُمَيْدٌ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ ابْنِ رِبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أَبَاكَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص خَيَّرَ نِسَاءَهُ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَمْ‏ يُمْسِكْهُنَّ عَلَى طَلَاقٍ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَّ

Al Kafi – Humeyd, from Ibn Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, and Ibn Rabat, from Abu Ayoub Al Khazaz, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘I heard yourasws fatherasws saying that Rasool-Allahsaww gave choice to hissaww wives, so they chose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. So, hesaww did not hold them upon the divorce, and had they chose their own selves, they would have been irrevocably divorced’.

Heasws said: ‘This Hadeeth, myasws fatherasws reported from Ayesha, and what is it to the people and the choice? This is a thing Allahazwj Specialised Hisazwj Rasoolsaww with’’.²⁰⁹

Al Kafi – Humeyd, from Ibn Sama’at, from Ibn Rabat, from Ays Bin Al Qasim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked himasws about a man who gives a choice to his wife and she chooses herself, would she be irrevocably divorced from him?’

قَالَ لَا إِنَّمَا هَذَا شَيْ‏ءٌ كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص خَاصَّةً أُمِرَ بِذَلِكَ فَفَعَلَ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَطَلَّقَهُنَ‏ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَّ وَ أُسَرِّحْكُنَّ سَراحاً جَمِيلًا.

Heasws said: ‘No, But rather this is a thing which was for Rasool-Allahsaww in particular. Hesaww had been Commanded with that, so hesaww did it, and had they chosen their own selves, they would have been divorced, and it is the Word of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: O Prophet! Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you and release you with a gracious release [33:28]’’.²¹⁰

43- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنِفَ لِرَسُولِهِ مِنْ مَقَالَةٍ قَالَتْهَا بَعْضُ نِسَائِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ التَّخْيِيرِ فَاعْتَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نِسَاءَهُ تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً فِي مَشْرَبَةِ أُمِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُنَّ فَخَيَّرَهُنَّ فَاخْتَرْنَهُ فَلَمْ يَكُ شَيْئاً وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ كَانَتْ وَاحِدَةً بَائِنَةً

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Scorned for Rasool-Allahsaww due to the speech which one of hissaww wives said, so Heazwj Revealed the Verse of the Choice (33:28). Rasool-Allahsaww detached from hissaww wives for twenty-nine nights in the watering place of Umm Ibrahimas (Mariah the Coptic). Then hesaww called them over, so hesaww gave them a choice, so they chose himsaww. So nothing happened, and had they chosen themselves, even once, they would have been irrevocably divorced’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ مَقَالَةِ الْمَرْأَةِ مَا هِيَ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَرَى مُحَمَّدٌ أَنَّهُ لَوْ طَلَّقَنَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِينَا الْأَكْفَاءُ مِنْ قَوْمِنَا يَتَزَّوَجُونَّا.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about the speech of the woman, and what it is?’ Heasws said: ‘She said, ‘Muhammadsaww sees that if hesaww were to divorce us, the matches from our people would not come to us to marry us’’.²¹¹

44- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ قَالَ: ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَعْدِلُ وَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ إِنْ طَلَّقَنَا وَجَدْنَا أَكْفَاءَنَا مِنْ قَوْمِنَا فَاحْتُبِسَ الْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazeyl, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinani who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws mentioned that Zaynab said to Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Yousaww are not being fair and (although) yousaww are Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’; and Hafsa said, ‘If yousaww divorce us we will find our match from our people’. The Revelation was Withheld from Rasool-Allahsaww for twenty days.

قَالَ فَأَنِفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِرَسُولِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ أَجْراً عَظِيماً

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Scorned for Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and it was Revealed: O Prophet! Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, [33:28] – up to Hisazwj Words: a mighty Recompense [33:29].

قَالَ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَّ وَ إِنِ اخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَلَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ.

Heasws said: ‘They chose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and had they chosen themselves, they would have been irrevocably divorced, and they chose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, so it wasn’t with any thing (effect)’’.²¹²

Al Kafi – The number, from Sahl, from Ibn Abu Nasr, from Hammad Bin usman, from Abdul A’ala Bin Ayn who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘One of the wives of the Prophetsaww said, ‘Muhammadsaww views that if hesaww were to divorce us we would not find our match from our people’.

قَالَ فَغَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ‏ سَمَاوَاتِهِ فَأَمَرَهُ فَخَيَّرَهُنَّ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ فَقَامَتْ فَقَبَّلَتْهُ وَ قَالَتْ أَخْتَارُ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ‏.

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic was Wrathful from above Hisazwj skies and Commanded himsaww. So, hesaww gave them a choice, until hesaww ended up to Zaynab Bint Jahash. She stood up and kissed himsaww and said, ‘I choose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’’.²¹³

46- كا، الكافي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ فِي الرَّجُلِ إِذَا خَيَّرَ امْرَأَتَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا الْخِيَرَةُ لَنَا لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ وَ إِنَّمَا خَيَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِمَكَانِ عَائِشَةَ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُنَّ أَنْ يَخْتَرْنَ غَيْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

Al Kafi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Yaqoub Bin Salim, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws regarding a man when he gives a choice to his wife. Heasws said: ‘But rather, the choice is for usasws, it isn’t for anyone (else), and rather Rasool-Allahsaww gave choice due to what was from Ayesha. She chose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and there did not happen to be for them that they choose other than Rasool-Allahsaww’’.²¹⁴

The book of Husayn Bin Saeed, and ‘Al Nawadir’ – Al Nazr, from Al Husayn Bin Musa, from Zurara,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws) having said: ‘Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws married the mother of the children of hisasws uncle Al-Hassanasws, and hisasws slave married one who had nourished himasws. When that reached Abdul Malik Bin Marwan, he wrote to himasws, ‘O Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws! It is as if youasws do not recognise yourasws position from yourasws people and yourasws worth in the presence of the people. Youasws married a slave girl and got yourasws slave to marry yourasws mother?’

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَهِمْتُ كِتَابَكَ وَ لَنَا أُسْوَةٌ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَدْ زَوَّجَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ عَمَّتِهِ زَيْداً مَوْلَاهُ وَ تَزَوَّجَ ص مَوْلَاتَهُ صَفِيَّةَ بِنْتَ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ.

Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws wrote to him: ‘Iasws understood your letter and for usasws there is an exemplary example with Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww had married Zaynab, a daughter of hissaww aunt to hissaww slave Zayd, and hesaww married hissaww slave girl Safiya Bint Huyay Bin Akhtab’’.²¹⁵

(The book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’ – ‘Ali Bin al Hassan, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Muhammad Bin Ziyad, from Umar Bin Azina,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww gave a choice to hissaww wives, and they chose himsaww, (or else) that would have been a divorce’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي مَا ظَنُّكَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ أَ كَانَ يُمْسِكُهُنَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘If they had chosen their own selves?’ Hesaww said to me: ‘What is your view with Rasool-Allahsaww if they had chosen their own selves, would hesaww have withheld them (forcibly)?’’²¹⁶

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Ali Bin Ibrahim said regarding Hisazwj Words: and He did not Make you adopted sons as being your sons [33:4]. It was narrated to me by my father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel,

49- فس، تفسير القمي قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ ما جَعَلَ أَدْعِياءَكُمْ أَبْناءَكُمْ‏. قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ سَبَبَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ بِخَدِيجَةَ بِنْتِ خُوَيْلِدٍ خَرَجَ إِلَى سُوقِ عُكَاظٍ فِي تِجَارَةٍ لَهَا وَ رَأَى زَيْداً يُبَاعُ‏ وَ رَآهُ غُلَاماً كَيِّساً حَصِيفاً فَاشْتَرَاهُ فَلَمَّا نُبِّئَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص دَعَاهُ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمَ فَكَانَ‏ يُدْعَى زَيْدٌ مَوْلَى مُحَمَّدٍ

‘Abu Abdullahasws has said: ‘The reason for the Revelation of that is - When Rasool-Allahsaww married Khadeejaasws, daughter of Khuwaylid, Hesaww went out to the market for some business on herasws behalf, and hesaww saw Zayd being sold, and saw him to be a wise, tactful boy. So hesaww bought him. When the Prophetsaww invited him to Al-Islam, he accepted, and was being called Zayd, slave of Muhammadsaww.

فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ حَارِثَةَ بْنَ شَرَاحِيلَ الْكَلْبِيَّ خَبَرُ زَيْدٍ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ وَ كَانَ رَجُلًا جَلِيلًا فَأَتَى أَبَا طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ إِنَّ ابْنِي وَقَعَ عَلَيْهِ السَّبْيُ وَ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّهُ صَارَ لِابْنِ أَخِيكَ تَسْأَلُهُ‏ إِمَّا أَنْ يَبِيعَهُ وَ إِمَّا أَنْ يُفَادِيَهُ وَ إِمَّا أَنْ يُعْتِقَهُ فَكَلَّمَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هُوَ حُرٌّ فَلْيَذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ

When the news of his son reached Harisa Bin Sharaheel Al-Kalby, and he was a majestic man, he came up to Abu Talibasws and said, ‘O Abu Talibasws! My son is now a youth, and it has reached me that he has gone to the sonsaww of yourasws brotherasws, therefore ask himsaww, either hesaww sells him, or ransoms him, or frees him’. Abu Talibasws spoke to Rasool-Allahsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘He is free, and he can go wherever he desires to’.

فَقَامَ حَارِثَةُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ زَيْدٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا بُنَيَّ الْحَقْ بِشَرَفِكَ وَ حَسَبِكَ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ لَسْتُ أُفَارِقُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَبَداً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُوهُ فَتَدَعُ حَسَبَكَ وَ نَسَبَكَ وَ تَكُونُ عَبْداً لِقُرَيْشٍ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ لَسْتُ أُفَارِقُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَا دُمْتُ حَيّاً فَغَضِبَ أَبُوهُ فَقَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ اشْهَدُوا أَنِّي قَدْ بَرِئْتُ مِنْهُ وَ لَيْسَ هُوَ ابْنِي

Harisa stood up, grabbed the hand of Zayd, and said to him, ‘The right is with your nobility and your lineage’. Zayd said, ‘I will never separate from Rasool-Allahsaww, ever’. His father said to him, ‘You leave your affiliations and your lineage, and become a servant of the Quraysh?’ Zayd said, ‘I will never separate from Rasool-Allahsaww for as long as I am alive’. His father got angry and said, ‘O group of Quraysh! Bear witness and I am away from Zayd, and he is not my son!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اشْهَدُوا أَنَّ زَيْداً ابْنِي أَرِثُهُ وَ يَرِثُنِي وَ كَانَ يُدْعَى زَيْدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُحِبُّهُ وَ سَمَّاهُ زَيْدَ الْحُبِّ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Bear witness that Zayd is mysaww son. Isaww inherit him, and he inherits mesaww’. And Zayd was, from then on, called ‘Ibn Muhammadsaww’, and Rasool-Allahsaww used to love him, and named him as ‘The beloved Zayd’.

فَلَمَّا هَاجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ زَوَّجَهُ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ وَ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهُ يَوْماً فَأَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْزِلَهُ يَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا زَيْنَبُ جَالِسَةٌ وَسَطَ حُجْرَتِهَا تَسْحَقُ طِيباً بِفِهْرٍ لَهَا فَدَفَعَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْبَابَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا وَ كَانَتْ جَمِيلَةً حَسَنَةً فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ النُّورِ وَ تَبَارَكَ‏ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخالِقِينَ‏

When Rasool-Allahsaww migrated to Al-Medina, hesaww got him married to Zaynab Bint Jahsh. He was delayed, one morning, so Rasool-Allahsaww came up to his house asking about him, and there was Zaynab seated in the middle of her room, making perfume for herself. So hesaww looked towards her, and she was extremely beautiful, so hesaww said: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj, Creator of the Light. And Blessed is Allahazwj, the best of the Creators’.

ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ص إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ وَقَعَتْ زَيْنَبُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وُقُوعاً عَجِيباً وَ جَاءَ زَيْدٌ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَخْبَرَتْهُ زَيْنَبُ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهَا زَيْدٌ هَلْ لَكِ أَنْ أُطَلِّقَكِ حَتَّى يَتَزَوَّجَكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَعَلَّكِ‏ قَدْ وَقَعْتِ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَقَالَتْ أَخْشَى أَنْ تُطَلِّقَنِي وَ لَا يَتَزَوَّجَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

Then Rasool-Allahsaww returned to hissaww house, and there occurred in the heart of Zaynab, a strange occurrence. Zayd went to his house, and she informed him of what Rasool-Allahsaww had said. Zayd said to her, ‘Would you like me to divorce you until Rasool-Allahsaww gets married to you? You might have occurred in hissaww heart’. She said, ‘I fear, that if you were to divorce me, Rasool-Allahsaww may not marry me’.

فَجَاءَ زَيْدٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي‏ أَخْبَرَتْنِي زَيْنَبُ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا فَهَلْ لَكَ أَنْ أُطَلِّقَهَا حَتَّى تَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا اذْهَبْ وَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ

Zayd went to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘May my father, and my mother be sacrificed for yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Zaynab has informed me of such and such. Would yousaww like me to divorce her until you get married to her?’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Go! And fear Allahazwj! And attach yourself to your spouse!’

ثُمَّ حَكَى اللَّهُ فَقَالَ‏ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ تُخْفِي‏ فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَ تَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَ اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشاهُ فَلَمَّا قَضى‏ زَيْدٌ مِنْها وَطَراً زَوَّجْناكَها إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ كانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا فَزَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ

Then Allahazwj Quoted, so Heazwj Said: ‘Withhold your wife to yourself and fear Allah!’, and you concealed within yourself what Allah would be Manifesting, and you feared the people while Allah is more deserving that you fear Him. So when Zayd had dissolved the marriage, We Married her to you – up to Hisazwj Words: and the Command of Allah Will always be Done [33:37]. Thus, Allahazwj Married her to himsaww from the top of Hisazwj Throne.

فَقَالَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ يُحَرِّمُ عَلَيْنَا نِسَاءَنَا وَ يَتَزَوَّجُ امْرَأَةَ ابْنِهِ زَيْدٍ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي هَذَا وَ ما جَعَلَ أَدْعِياءَكُمْ أَبْناءَكُمْ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ يَهْدِي السَّبِيلَ‏

The hypocrites said, ‘Hesaww prohibits unto us, the wives of our sons, and hesaww marries the wife of hissaww son Zayd!’ So Allahazwj Revealed with regards to this: and He did not Make you adopted sons as being your sons. – up to Hisazwj Words: and He Guides to the Way [33:4].

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ ادْعُوهُمْ لِآبائِهِمْ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ مَوالِيكُمْ‏

Then Heazwj Said: Assert them to their fathers, this is more equitable in the Presence of Allah – up to Hisazwj Words: and are your friends [33:5]’.

فَأَعْلَمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّ زَيْداً لَيْسَ هُوَ ابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ.

So Zayd came to know that he wasn’t a son of Muhammadsaww, and rather was hissaww adopted son’’.²¹⁷

قَالَ الرِّضَا ع إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَصَدَ دَارَ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ شَرَاحِيلَ‏ الْكَلْبِيِّ فِي أَمْرٍ أَرَادَهُ فَرَأَى امْرَأَتَهُ تَغْتَسِلُ فَقَالَ لَهَا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكِ وَ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ تَنْزِيهَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَنْ قَوْلِ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ بَنَاتُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ أَ فَأَصْفاكُمْ رَبُّكُمْ بِالْبَنِينَ وَ اتَّخَذَ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ إِناثاً إِنَّكُمْ لَتَقُولُونَ قَوْلًا عَظِيماً

Al-Rezaasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww went to the house of Zayd Bin Harisa Bin Sharaheel Al-Kalby regarding a matter hesaww intended, and hesaww saw his wife washing, so hesaww said to her: ‘Glorious is Allahazwj Who Created you!’ And rather, hesaww meant by that Allahazwj is far more Exalted from the words of the one who claims that the Angels are daughters of Allahazwj the Exalted: Has then your Lord Distinguished you with the sons, and Taken daughters from the Angels? You are speaking a grievous word [17:40].

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَمَّا رَآهَا تَغْتَسِلُ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكِ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ وَلَداً يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى هَذَا التَّطْهِيرِ وَ الِاغْتِسَالِ

Therefore, the Prophetsaww said when hesaww saw her washing: ‘Glorious is the Oneazwj Who Created you, that Heazwj should Take a child for Himselfazwj being needy to this cleansing and the washing!’

فَلَمَّا عَادَ زَيْدٌ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ أَخْبَرَتْهُ امْرَأَتُهُ بِمَجِي‏ءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَوْلِهِ لَهَا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكِ فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ زَيْدٌ مَا أَرَادَ بِذَلِكَ وَ ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِمَا أَعْجَبَهُ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا

When Zayd returned to his house, his wife informed him of the coming of the Rasoolsaww and hissaww words to her: ‘‘Glorious is the Oneazwj Who Created you’, but Zayd did not know what hesaww meant by that. He thought that hesaww said that when hesaww was fascinated from her beauty.

فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ امْرَأَتِي فِي خُلُقِهَا سُوءٌ وَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ طَلَاقَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ‏

So he came to the Prophetsaww and said to himsaww, ‘My wife, her mannerisms are evil, and I want to divorce her’. The Prophetsaww said to her: ‘Withhold your wife to yourself and fear Allah! [33:37].

وَ قَدْ كَانَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَرَّفَهُ عَدَدَ أَزْوَاجِهِ وَ أَنَّ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةَ مِنْهُنَّ فَأَخْفَى ذَلِكَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ لَمْ يُبْدِهِ لِزَيْدٍ وَ خَشِيَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً يَقُولُ لِمَوْلَاهُ إِنَّ امْرَأَتَكَ سَتَكُونُ لِي زَوْجَةً فَيَعِيبُونَهُ بِذَلِكَ

And Allahazwj had already introduced the number of hissaww wives to him, and that very woman was from them, but hesaww concealed that within himself and did not manifest it to Zayd, and hesaww feared the people lest they be saying, ‘Muhammadsaww is saying to hissaww slave: ‘Your wife would be becoming mysaww wife’, and they would be faulting himsaww with that.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ إِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِي أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏ يَعْنِي بِالْإِسْلَامِ‏ وَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ‏ يَعْنِي بِالْعِتْقِ‏ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ وَ تُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَ تَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَ اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشاهُ‏

Thus, Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed: And when you said to the one whom Allah had Favoured upon and you had favoured upon: ‘Withhold your wife to yourself and fear Allah!’, and you concealed within yourself what Allah would be Manifesting, and you feared the people while Allah is more deserving that you fear Him’.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ حَارِثَةَ طَلَّقَهَا وَ اعْتَدَّتْ مِنْهُ فَزَوَّجَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ أَنْزَلَ بِذَلِكَ قُرْآناً فَقَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ فَلَمَّا قَضى‏ زَيْدٌ مِنْها وَطَراً زَوَّجْناكَها لِكَيْ لا يَكُونَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِي أَزْواجِ أَدْعِيائِهِمْ إِذا قَضَوْا مِنْهُنَّ وَطَراً وَ كانَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا

Then Zayd Bin Harisa divorced her, and she observed the waiting period from him, and Allahazwj the Exalted got her married to Hisazwj Prophetsaww, Muhammadsaww, and Revealed the Quran (Verses) with that, so the Mighty and Majestic Said: So when Zayd had dissolved the marriage, We Married her to you so that there would not happen to be any uneasiness upon the Momineen regarding the wives of their adopted sons when they had dissolved their marriages from them; and the Command of Allah Will always be Done [33:37].

ثُمَّ عَلِمَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ الْمُنَافِقِينَ سَيَعِيبُونَهُ بِتَزْوِيجِهَا فَأَنْزَلَ‏ ما كانَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مِنْ حَرَجٍ فِيما فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَهُ‏.

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Knew that the hypocrites will be faulting himsaww, so Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed: There was no blame upon the Prophet regarding what Allah Imposed to Him [33:38]’’.²¹⁸

51- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام فِي خَبَرِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ‏ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ الرِّضَا ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي نَبِيِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص‏ وَ تُخْفِي فِي نَفْسِكَ مَا اللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Rezaasws in a Hadeeth of Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Al Jahm – ‘Al-Rezaasws was asked about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic regarding Hisazwj Prophetsaww Muhammadsaww: and you concealed within yourself what Allah would be Manifesting [33:37].

‏ فَأَجَابَ ع أَنَ‏ اللَّهَ عَرَّفَ نَبِيَّهُ ص أَسْمَاءَ أَزْوَاجِهِ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَسْمَاءَ أَزْوَاجِهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَنَّهُنَّ أُمَّهَاتُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَحَدُ مَنْ سُمِّيَ لَهُ زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ جَحْشٍ وَ هِيَ يَوْمَئِذٍ تَحْتَ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ فَأَخْفَى ص اسْمَهَا فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ لَمْ يُبْدِهِ لِكَيْلَا يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِنَّهُ قَالَ فِي امْرَأَةٍ فِي بَيْتِ رَجُلٍ إِنَّهَا إِحْدَى أَزْوَاجِهِ مِنْ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ خَشِيَ قَوْلَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ

Heasws answered: ‘Allahazwj Introduced to Hisazwj Prophetsaww, the names of hissaww wives in the world and the names of hissaww wives in the Hereafter, and they are mothers of the believers; and one of the ones Heazwj Named to himsaww was Zaynab Bint Jahash, and in those days she was married to Zayd Bin Haris. Hesaww concealed her name within himself and did not manifest it lest anyone from the hypocrites would say that hesaww spoke regarding a woman regarding a household of a man that she is one of hissaww wives from the mothers of the believers, and hesaww feared the words of the hypocrites.

قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ تَخْشَى النَّاسَ وَ اللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ تَخْشاهُ‏ يَعْنِي فِي نَفْسِكَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا تَوَلَّى تَزْوِيجَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ إِلَّا تَزْوِيجَ حَوَّاءَ مِنْ آدَمَ ع وَ زَيْنَبَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِقَوْلِهِ‏ فَلَمَّا قَضى‏ زَيْدٌ مِنْها وَطَراً زَوَّجْناكَها الْآيَةَ وَ فَاطِمَةَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ ع‏.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: and you feared the people while Allah is more deserving that you fear Him [33:37] – meaning within himselfsaww, and that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and Allahazwj did not Conduct the marriage of anyone from Hisazwj creatures except the marriage of Hawwaas to Adamas, and Zaynab to Rasool-Allahsaww, by Hisazwj Words: So when Zayd had dissolved the marriage, We Married her to you [33:37] – the Verse, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws to Aliasws’’.²¹⁹

52- فس، تفسير القمي فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ ما كانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَ لا مُؤْمِنَةٍ إِذا قَضَى اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَمْراً أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ‏ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص خَطَبَ عَلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ الْأَسَدِيَّةَ مِنْ بَنِي أَسَدِ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ وَ هِيَ بِنْتُ عَمَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ حَتَّى أُوَامِرَ نَفْسِي فَأَنْظُرَ

Tafseer Al Qummi – In a report of Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws regarding Hisazwj Words: And it was not for a Momin, nor for a Momina, when Allah and His Rasool decide a matter that the choice would happen to be for them from their matter. [33:36], And that Rasool-Allahsaww married Zaynab Bin Jahsh Al-Asadiyya to Zayd Bin Haaris. She was from the Clan of Asad Bin Khuzeyman, and she was a daughter of the paternal aunt of Rasool-Allahsaww. She said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, until there are orders for myself, I shall wait.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ ما كانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ وَ لا مُؤْمِنَةٍ الْآيَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمْرِي بِيَدِكَ

Allahazwj Revealed: And it was not for a Momin nor for a Momina, when Allah and His Rasool decide a matter that the choice would happen to be for them from their matter. And one who disobeys Allah and His Rasool, so he has strayed a clear straying [33:36]. She said, ‘My matter is in your hands’.

فَزَوَّجَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَمَكَثَتْ عِنْدَ زَيْدٍ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمَا تَشَاجَرَا فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا النَّبِيُّ ص فَأَعْجَبَتْهُ فَقَالَ زَيْدٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْذَنُ لِي فِي طَلَاقِهَا فَإِنَّ فِيهَا كِبْراً وَ إِنَّهَا لَتُؤْذِينِي بِلِسَانِهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ اتَّقِ اللَّهَ‏ وَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ‏ وَ أَحْسِنْ إِلَيْهَا

So hesaww got her married to him (Zayd). She remained with Zayd for as long as Allahazwj so Desired it. Then they quarrelled about something to Rasool-Allahsaww. So the Prophetsaww looked towards her and she astounded himsaww’. Zayd said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, allow me to divorce her, for she is arrogant, and she hurts me with her tongue’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Fear Allahazwj and hold on to your spouse, and be good to her’.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ زَيْداً طَلَّقَهَا وَ انْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ نِكَاحَهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ فَلَمَّا قَضى‏ زَيْدٌ مِنْها وَطَراً زَوَّجْناكَها

Then Zayd divorced her, and she spent her waiting period. Then Allahazwj Revealed that she should be married to Rasool-Allahsaww, so Heazwj Said: So when Zayd had dissolved the marriage, We Married her to you [33:37]’.

وَ فِي قَوْلِهِ‏ ما كانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجالِكُمْ‏ فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ نَزَلَتْ فِي شَأْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ قَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ يُعَيِّرُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَدَّعِي بَعْضُنَا بَعْضاً وَ قَدِ ادَّعَى هُوَ زَيْداً فَقَالَ اللَّهُ‏ ما كانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجالِكُمْ‏ يَعْنِي يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِأَبِي زَيْدٍ

And regarding Hisazwj Words: Muhammad was not a father of anyone of your men, [33:40] - ‘This was Revealed regarding the importance of Zayd Bin Haarisa. The Quraysh said, ‘Muhammadsaww reproaches us if we make a claim on each other, and hesaww has made a claim, and he is Zayd!’ So Allahazwj Said: Muhammad was not a father of anyone of your men [33:40], Meaning, at that time hesaww was not the father of Zayd’.

وَ خاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ‏ يَعْنِي لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص‏.

He said, ‘Hisazwj Words: and the last of the Prophets [33:40]. It Means that there is no Prophetsaww after himsaww’’.²²⁰

53- فس، تفسير القمي‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ إِلى‏ طَعامٍ غَيْرَ ناظِرِينَ إِناهُ‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَمَّا أَنْ تَزَوَّجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِزَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ جَحْشٍ وَ كَانَ يُحِبُّهَا فَأَوْلَمَ دَعَا أَصْحَابَهُ وَ كَانَ‏ أَصْحَابُهُ إِذَا أَكَلُوا يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَتَحَدَّثُوا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَخْلُوَ مَعَ زَيْنَبَ

Tafseer Al Qummi - O you those who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you to a meal, (and) not waiting for its preparation [33:53]. When Rasool-Allahsaww married Zaynab Bint Jahash, and hesaww used to love her, hesaww gave a banquet and called hissaww companion. And it was so that whenever they had eaten would love to (sit and) hold discussions in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww liked to be alone with Zaynab.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ‏ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يَدْخُلُونَ بِلَا إِذْنٍ فَقَالَ‏ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ مِنْ وَراءِ حِجابٍ‏.

Allahazwj Revealed: O you those who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you [33:53], and that is because they were entering without permission, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: unless there is permission for you [33:53], up to Hisazwj Words: from behind a curtain [33:53]’’.²²¹

54- كا، الكافي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ سِرْحَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ يَرَى‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنْ خَلَّى سَبِيلَنَا أَنْ لَا نَجِدَ زَوْجاً غَيْرَهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ اعْتَزَلَ نِسَاءَهُ تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً

Al Kafi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Sama’at, from Ja’far Bin Sama’at, from Dawood Bin Sirhan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Zaynab Bint Jahash said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww views that if hesaww were to free our way (divorce us), we will not (be able to) find any husband other than himsaww’, and hesaww had isolated from hissaww wives for twenty nights.

فَلَمَّا قَالَتْ زَيْنَبُ الَّتِي قَالَتْ‏ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَقَالَ‏ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها فَتَعالَيْنَ أُمَتِّعْكُنَ‏ الْآيَتَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا فَقُلْنَ بَلْ نَخْتَارُ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ.

When Zaynab said that which she said, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent Jibraeelas to Muhammadsaww and Said: Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you [33:28] – both the two Verses (28 & 29). They said, ‘But we choose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and the house of the Hereafter’’.²²²

55- كا، الكافي حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ حَسَنِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ جَحْشٍ قَالَتْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ لَا تَعْدِلُ وَ أَنْتَ نَبِيٌّ فَقَالَ تَرِبَتْ‏ يَدَاكِ إِذَا لَمْ أَعْدِلْ فَمَنْ يَعْدِلُ قَالَتْ دَعَوْتَ اللَّهَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِيَقْطَعَ يَدَايَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ لَتَتْرَبَانِ

Al Kafi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Hasan Bin Sama’at, from Wahab Bin Hafs, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Zaynab Bint Jahash said to Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Yousaww are not being fair and (although) yousaww are Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’. Hesaww said: ‘May dust be on your hands! If Isaww am not just then who is just?’ She said, ‘Yousaww have supplicated to Allahazwj, O Rasool-Allahsaww, for my hands to be cut off?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, but for them to be dusty’.

فَقَالَتْ إِنَّكَ إِنْ طَلَّقْتَنَا وَجَدْنَا فِي قَوْمِنَا أَكْفَاءَنَا فَاحْتُبِسَ الْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تِسْعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً

She said, ‘If yousaww were to divorce us we will find our match among our people’. So, the Revelation was Withheld from Rasool-Allahsaww for twenty nine days’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع فَأَنِفَ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ ص فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ قُلْ لِأَزْواجِكَ إِنْ كُنْتُنَّ تُرِدْنَ الْحَياةَ الدُّنْيا وَ زِينَتَها الْآيَتَيْنِ فَاخْتَرْنَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ لَوِ اخْتَرْنَ أَنْفُسَهُنَّ لَبِنَ‏.

Then Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Allahazwj Scorned for Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and Allahazwj mighty and Majestic Revealed: Say to your wives: ‘If you were intending the life of the world and its adornments, then come, I shall provide for you [33:28] –the two Verses (28 & 29). They chose Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and nothing happened, and had they chosen their own selves, they would have been irrevocably divorced’’.²²³

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Sadouq – ‘Ibn Al Waleed, from Muhammad Bin Abu Al Qasim, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Sayrafi, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar,

‘From Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiqasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws having said: ‘It reached Umm Salmara, wife of the Prophetsaww, that a slave of herra is belittling Aliasws and discussing himasws as such, so shera sent for him. When he came to herra, shera said to him: ‘O myra son! It reached mera that you are belittling Aliasws and discussing himasws as such?’ He said to her, ‘Yes, O motherra!’

قَالَتْ اقْعُدْ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ حَتَّى أُحَدِّثَكَ بِحَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ اخْتَرْ لِنَفْسِكَ إِنَّا كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تِسْعَ نِسْوَةٍ وَ كَانَتْ لَيْلَتِي وَ يَوْمِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ هُوَ مُتَهَلِّلٌ أَصَابِعُهُ فِي أَصَابِعِ عَلِيٍّ وَاضِعاً يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ

Sheasws said, ‘Sit down, may your mother be bereft of you, until Ira narrate to you with what Ira heard from Rasool-Allahsaww, then choose for yourself. We were nine wives in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww and it was myra night and myra day from Rasool-Allahsaww, and Rasool-Allahsaww entered and hesaww was jubilant having hissaww fingers in the fingers of Aliasws placing hissaww hand upon himasws.

فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ اخْرُجِي مِنَ الْبَيْتِ وَ أَخْلِيهِ لَنَا فَخَرَجْتُ وَ أَقْبَلَا يَتَنَاجَيَانِ أَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ وَ مَا أَدْرِي مَا يَقُولَانِ حَتَّى إِذَا قُمْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ‏ الْبَابَ فَقُلْتُ أَدْخُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا

Hesaww said: ‘O Umm Salmara! Go out from the house and leave us alone’. So, Ira went out, and (when) Ira came back theyasws were whispering to each other. Ira heard the speech and Ira do not know what theyasws were saying until when the day rose Ira came to the door and said, ‘Can Ira come in, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘No’.

قَالَتْ فَكَبَوْتُ‏ كَبْوَةً شَدِيدَةً مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَدَّنِي مِنْ سَخَطِهِ أَوْ نَزَلَ فِيَّ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ لَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ أَتَيْتُ الْبَابَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَدْخُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَا فَكَبَوْتُ كَبْوَةً أَشَدَّ مِنَ الْأُولَى

Shera said, ‘Myra face dropped with a severe drop that maybe hesaww happened to have repelled mera from hissaww anger, or something had been Revealed regarding mera from the sky. Then it was not long before Ira came to the door and said, ‘Can I come in, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘No’. Myra face dropped with a more severe drop than the first.

ثُمَّ لَمْ أَلْبَثْ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ الْبَابَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَدْخُلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ادْخُلِي يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ فَدَخَلْتُ وَ عَلِيٌّ جَاثٍ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِذَا كَانَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ آمُرُكَ بِالصَّبْرِ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِالصَّبْرِ

Then it was not long before Ira came to the door for the third time and said, ‘Can I come in, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Enter, O Umm Salmara!’ So, Ira entered and Aliasws was kneeling in front of himsaww and heasws was saying: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws mother be sacrificed for yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! When it will be such and such, so what are yoursaww instructions for measws?’ Hesaww said: ‘Isaww instruct youasws to be patient’. Then heasws repeated the words to himsaww for a second time, and hesaww instructed himasws with the patience.

فَأَعَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا أَخِي إِذَا كَانَ ذَاكَ مِنْهُمْ فَسُلَّ سَيْفَكَ وَ ضَعْهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِكَ وَ اضْرِبْ بِهِ قُدُماً حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي وَ سَيْفُكَ شَاهِرٌ يَقْطُرُ مِنْ دِمَائِهِمْ

Heasws repeated the words to himsaww for the third time. Hesaww said to himasws: ‘O Aliasws! O mysaww brotherasws! When that happens from them, then unsheathe yourasws sword and place it upon yourasws shoulder and strike with it going forwards until youasws meet measws and yourasws sword is stained with drops of their blood’.

ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ لِي وَ اللَّهِ مَا هَذِهِ الْكَأْبَةُ يَا أُمَ‏ سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُ لِلَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ رَدِّكَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ فَقَالَ لِي وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَدَدْتُكِ مِنْ مَوْجِدَةٍ وَ إِنَّكِ لَعَلَى خَيْرٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ لَكِنْ أَتَيْتِنِي وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ يَسَارِي وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يُخْبِرُنِي بِالْأَحْدَاثِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُوصِيَ بِذَلِكِ عَلِيّاً

Then hesaww turned towards mera and said to mera: ‘By Allahazwj! This is not the depression (face dropping), O Umm Salmara!’ Ira said, ‘It (dropped) to that which was from yoursaww repelling, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. Hesaww said to mera: ‘By Allahazwj! Isaww did not repel youra out of anger, and youra are upon goodness from Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. But youra came to mesaww and Jibraeelas was on mysaww right and Aliasws on mysaww left, and Jibraeelas was informing mesaww of that which would be transpiring from after mesaww, and instructed mesaww that Isaww should bequeath that to Aliasws.

O Umm Salmara, listen and bear witness!

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنِ النَّاكِثُونَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ يَنْكُثُونَ بِالْبَصْرَةِ قُلْتُ مَنِ الْقَاسِطُونَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ قُلْتُ مَنِ الْمَارِقُونَ قَالَ أَصْحَابُ النَّهْرَوَانِ

Ira said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who are the breakers?’ Hesaww said: ‘This who will pledge allegiance to himasws at Al-Medina and break them at Al-Basra’. Ira said, ‘Who are the unjust ones?’ Hesaww said: ‘Muawiya and his companions from the people of Syria’. Ira said: ‘Who are the renegades?’ Hesaww said: ‘The companions of (battle of) Al-Naharwan’.

فَقَالَ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَرَّجْتِ عَنِّي فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْكِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا سَبَبْتُ عَلِيّاً أَبَداً.

The slave of Umm Salmara said, ‘Youra have relieved from me, may Allahazwj Relieve youra. By Allahazwj! I will not revile Aliasws, ever!’’.²²⁴

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusy – ‘A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Makhlad, from Abbad bin Saeed Al Jufy, from Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Abu Al Bahloul, from Salih bin Abu Al Aswad, from Hashim Bin Al Bareed, from Abu Saeed Al Taymi,

‘From Sabit a slave of Abu Zarrra who said, ‘I attended the day of (battle of) Al-Jamal. When I saw Ayesha paused there entered into me from the doubt, some of what entered into the people. When the sun declined (midday) Allahazwj Removed that from me and I fought alongside Amir Al-Momineenasws.

ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ رَحِمَهَا فَقَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهَا قِصَّتِي فَقَالَتْ كَيْفَ صَنَعْتَ حِينَ طَارَتِ الْقُلُوبُ مَطَائِرَهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ إِلَى أَحْسَنِ ذَلِكِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَشَفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنِّي ذَلِكِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَقَاتَلْتُ مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قِتَالًا شَدِيداً

Then after that I came to Umm Salmara, wife of the Prophetsaww and I related the story to herra. Shera said, ‘What did you do when the hearts flew its flying?’ I said, ‘I was good to that, and the Praise is for Allahazwj. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Removed that from me at midday and I fought alongside Amir Al Momineenasws a severe fight’.

فَقَالَتْ أَحْسَنْتَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ عَلِيٌّ مَعَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ الْقُرْآنُ مَعَهُ لَا يَفْتَرِقَانِ حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ‏.

Shera said: ‘You have done well. Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Aliasws is with the Quran and the Quran is with himasws. They will not separate until they return to mesaww at the Fountain’’.²²⁵

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – ‘Al Sindy Bin Muhammad, from Safwan Al Jammal,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘A woman from the Helpers called Hasra used to come to the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww and was desirous regarding themasws, and Zafar and Habtar (Abu Bakr and Umar) met her one day and they said, ‘Where are you going, O Hasra?’ She said, ‘I am going to the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww to fulfil from theirasws rights and renew the pact with themasws’.

فَقَالا وَيْلَكِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَانْصَرَفَتْ حَسْرَةُ وَ لَبِثَتْ أَيَّاماً ثُمَّ جَاءَتْ فَقَالَتْ لَهَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَةُ النَّبِيِّ ص مَا بَطَّأَ بِكِ‏ عَنَّا يَا حَسْرَةُ فَقَالَتِ اسْتَقْبَلَنِي زُفَرُ وَ حَبْتَرٌ فَقَالا أَيْنَ تَذْهَبِينَ يَا حَسْرَةُ فَقُلْتُ أَذْهَبُ إِلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَقْضِي مِنْ حَقِّهِمُ الْوَاجِبِ فَقَالا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ حَقٌّ إِنَّمَا كَانَ هَذَا عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ص

They said, ‘Woe be unto you! There aren’t any rights for them. But rather this was in the era of Rasool-Allahsaww’. So Hasra left and waited for days. Then Umm Salmara wife of the Prophetsaww came and said to her: ‘What delayed you from usasws, O Hasra?’ She said, ‘Zafar and Habtar met me and they said, ‘Where are you going, O Hasra?’ I said, ‘I am going to the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww to fulfil from theirasws rights, the Obligatory’. They said, ‘There aren’t any rights for themasws. But rather this was in the era of the Prophetsaww’.

فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ كَذِبَا لَعَنَهُمَا اللَّهُ لَا يَزَالُ حَقُّهُمْ وَاجِباً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Umm Salmara said, ‘They are liars, may Allahazwj Curse them both! Theirasws rights will not cease to be Obligatory upon the Muslims up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.²²⁶

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – ‘Imran Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad bin Abdullah Bin Zurara, from Isa bin Ubeydullah, from his father, from his grandfather, from Umar Bin Abu Salma,

‘From his motherra Umm Salmara having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww made Aliasws to be seated in myra house, then called for a sheep skin and wrote in it until it had been filled. Then hesaww handed it to mera and said: ‘One who comes to youra from after mesaww with such and such sign, then hand it over to him’.

فَأَقَامَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ وُلِّيَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمْرَ النَّاسِ بَعَثَتْنِي فَقَالَتْ اذْهَبْ وَ انْظُرْ مَا صَنَعَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَجِئْتُ فَجَلَسْتُ فِي النَّاسِ حَتَّى خَطَبَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ فَجِئْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا

Umm Salmara waited until Rasool-Allahsaww passed away and Abu Bakr became the ruler commanding the people. Shera sent me and said: ‘Go and look at what this man is doing’. So I went and sat down among the people until Abu Bakr addressed, then descended and entered his house. I came and informed herra.

فَأَقَامَتْ حَتَّى إِذَا وُلِّيَ عُمَرُ بَعَثَتْنِي فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ صَاحِبُهُ فَجِئْتُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا ثُمَّ أَقَامَتْ حَتَّى وُلِّيَ عُثْمَانُ فَبَعَثَتْنِي فَصَنَعَ كَمَا صَنَعَ صَاحِبَاهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا

Shera waited until when Umar became the ruler. Shera sent me and he did what his companion had done. I came and informed herra. Then shera waited until Usman became the ruler and sent me, and he did what his two companions had done. I informed herra.

ثُمَّ أَقَامَتْ حَتَّى وُلِّيَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَرْسَلَتْنِي فَقَالَتِ انْظُرْ مَا يَصْنَعُ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ فَجِئْتُ فَجَلَسْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَلَمَّا خَطَبَ عَلِيٌّ ع نَزَلَ فَرَآنِي فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَاسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَى أُمِّكَ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ حَتَّى جِئْتُهَا فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا وَ قُلْتُ قَالَ لِيَ اسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَى أُمِّكَ وَ هُوَ خَلْفِي يُرِيدُكِ قَالَتْ وَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ أُرِيدُهُ

Then shera waited until Aliasws became the ruler, so shera sent me and said: ‘Look at what this manasws is doing’. I went and sat in the Masjid. When Aliasws had addressed, heasws descended and saw me among the people. Heasws said: ‘Go and get permission to your motherra’. I went out until I came to herra and informed herra, and I said, ‘Heasws said to me: ‘Seek permission for measws to see your motherra’, and heasws is behind measws, intending youra’. Shera said: ‘And Ira, by Allahazwj, am intending himasws’.

فَاسْتَأْذَنَ عَلِيٌّ فَدَخَلَ فَقَالَ أَعْطِينِي الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي دُفِعَ إِلَيْكَ بِآيَةِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أُمِّي حَتَّى قَامَتْ إِلَى تَابُوتٍ لَهَا فِي جَوْفِهِ تَابُوتٌ لَهَا صَغِيرٌ فَاسْتَخْرَجَتْ مِنْ جَوْفِهِ كِتَاباً فَدَفَعَتْهُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي يَا بُنَيَّ الْزَمْهُ فَلَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكَ إِمَاماً غَيْرَهُ‏.

Shera permitted Aliasws and heasws entered and said: ‘Give measws the letter which was handed over to youra with such and such signs’. It is as if I am looking at my motherra until shera stood up to go to a trunk of herra having a small box inside it and brought out a letter from inside it and handed it over to Aliasws, then my motherra said to me: ‘O myra son! Stick with himasws for by Allahazwj, Ira do not see any Imam after your Prophetsaww apart from himasws’’.²²⁷

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww married Umm Salmara. Umar Bin Abu Salma got herra married to him, and he was young, not having reached puberty yet’’.²²⁸

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Bin Salim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘Abu Bakr and Umar both came to Umm Salmaas and they said to her, ‘O Umm Salmaas! Youas used to be with a man before Rasool-Allahsaww, so how is Rasool-Allahsaww from that in private’. Sheas said: ‘Hesaww is not except like the rest of the men’. Then they both went out from heras, and the Prophetsaww came over. So sheas stood up taking the initiative thinking that a Command from the sky has descended, and sheas informed himsaww of the news.

فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى تَرَبَّدَ وَجْهُهُ وَ الْتَوَى عِرْقُ الْغَضَبِ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ خَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَ بَادَرَتِ‏ الْأَنْصَارُ بِالسِّلَاحِ وَ أَمَرَ بِخَيْلِهِمْ أَنْ تَحْضُرَ فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَّبِعُونَ عَيْبِي وَ يَسْأَلُونَ عَنْ عَيْبِي‏ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَكْرَمُكُمْ حَسَباً وَ أَطْهَرُكُمْ مَوْلِداً وَ أَنْصَحُكُمْ لِلَّهِ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَ لَا يَسْأَلُنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتُهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww got angered to the extent that hissaww face glowered and the perspiration of the angered converged between hissaww eyes, and hesaww went out and hissaww robe was dragging behind himsaww, until hesaww ascended the Pulpit. And the Helpers took the initiative with the weapons and readied their cavalries to be present. Hesaww ascended the pulpit, praised Allahazwj and Extolled Himazwj, then said: ‘O you people! What is the matter with some people who are pursuing to fault mesaww and are asking around about mesaww in mysaww absence. By Allahazwj ! Isaww am more honourable in nobility and cleaner of birth (than you all), and Isaww advise you all for the Sake of Allahazwj regarding the hidden (matters); and none from among you shall ask mesaww about his father, except that Isaww will inform him’.

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي فَقَالَ فُلَانٌ الرَّاعِي فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ آخَرُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي فَقَالَ غُلَامُكُمُ الْأَسْوَدُ فَقَامَ‏ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي فَقَالَ الَّذِي تُنْسَبُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اعْفُ عَنَّا عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَكَ رَحْمَةً فَاعْفُ عَنَّا عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكَ

A man stood up to himsaww and said, ‘Who is my father?’ Hesaww said: ‘So and so, the shepherd’. Another one stood up to himsaww and said, ‘Who is my father?’ Hesaww said: ‘Your slave, the black one’. And the third one stood up to himsaww and said, ‘Who is my father?’ Hesaww said: ‘The one who has been linked to you’. The Helpers said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Excuse us, may Allahazwj excuse yousaww, for Allahazwj Sent yousaww as a Mercy. Therefore, excuse us and Allahazwj will Excuse yousaww’.

وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا كُلِّمَ اسْتَحْيَا وَ عَرِقَ وَ غَضَّ طَرْفَهُ عَنِ النَّاسِ حَيَاءً حِينَ كَلَّمُوهُ فَنَزَلَ

And it was such that whenever the Prophetsaww spoke, hesaww would be bashful and perspire, and hesaww would lower hissaww gaze from the people out of bashfulness whenever hesaww spoke to them, then hesaww descend.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي السَّحَرِ هَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع بِصَحْفَةٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فِيهَا هَرِيسَةٌ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ عَمِلَهَا لَكَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ فَكُلْهَا أَنْتَ وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ ذُرِّيَّتُكُمَا فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَصْلُحُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهَا غَيْرُكُمْ

When it was the morning, Jibraeelas descended unto himsaww with a bowl from the Paradise wherein was Hareesa (a dish made out of mashed meat and wheat), and heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! This here has been made for yousaww by the Maiden Houries, therefore eat it, yousaww and Aliasws and both yourasws children, for it is not correct that it is eaten by others’.

فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع فَأَكَلُوا فَأُعْطِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْمُبَاضَعَةِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَكْلَةِ قُوَّةَ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا فَكَانَ إِذَا شَاءَ غَشِيَ نِسَاءَهُ كُلَّهُنَّ فِي لَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ.

Rasool-Allahsaww sat down along with Aliasws, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and theyasws ate. Rasool-Allahsaww was given the strength from that meal, the strength of forty men. Whenever hesaww so intended to, hesaww could go to hissaww wives, all of them in one night’’.²²⁹

Al Kafi – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Al-Waleed Bin Al-Mugheira died. Umm Salmara said to the Prophetsaww: ‘The family of Al-Mugheira have established a lamentation (Nowha Khani), so Ira would like to go to them’. Hesaww permitted her. Shera wore herra clothes and prepared, and it was such from herra beauty that as if shera was a fairy, and when shera stood herra hair flowed until it covered herra (upper) body, and shera tied herra anklet by herra side and shera prosed for the son of herra uncle in front of Rasool-Allahsaww.

Shera said: ‘Ira obituarise al Waleed Bin Al Waleed, Abu Al Waleed, youth of the clan, a protector of the realities, a glorious, transcending to the seeking of style, he was (like) rain during the years (of drought), and a spring of fresh water and a provision’.

فَمَا عَابَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ لَا قَالَ شَيْئاً.

The Prophetsaww neither faulted herra during that nor said anything’’.²³⁰

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareez, from Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww went to Umm Salmara and said to herra: ‘What is the matter Isaww do not see the Blessing in yourra house?’ Shera said, ‘And the Praise is for Allahazwj! The Blessing is in myra house’.

فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْزَلَ ثَلَاثَ بَرَكَاتٍ الْمَاءَ وَ النَّارَ وَ الشَّاةَ.

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent down three Blessings – the water, and the fire, and the sheep’’.²³¹

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla, from Al Washa, from Hammad Bin Usman,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww saw a woman who fascinated himsaww, so hesaww entered to see Umm Salmara, and it was herra day, and attained from herra, and hesaww went out to the people, and hissaww head was dripping. Hesaww said: ‘O you people! But rather, the look is from Satanla, so the one who finds anything from that, then let him go to his wife’’.²³²

10- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ أُصِيبَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَقَالَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ‏

(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy,

‘From Umm Salmara: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who is afflicted with a difficulty, so he should say just as Allahazwj has Commanded him:

إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي مِنْ مُصِيبَتِي وَ أَعْقِبْنِي خَيْراً مِنْهُ فَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ بِهِ

We are for Allah and we are returning to Him [2:156]. O Allahazwj! Rescue me from my difficulty, and Make its consequences to be better than it’. Allahazwj will Do that with him’.

قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قُلْتُهُ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ وَ مَنْ مِثْلُ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ فَأَعْقَبَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِرَسُولِهِ ص فَتَزَوَّجَنِي‏.

Shera said, ‘When Abu Salma died, I said it. Then Ira said, ‘And who can be like Abu Salma?’ Allahazwj Followed it to mera with Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and hesaww married mera’’.²³³

باب 4 أحوال عائشة و حفصة

CHAPTER 4 – THE STATES OF AYESHA AND HAFSA

الآيات الحجرات 11 يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَسى‏ أَنْ يَكُونُوا خَيْراً مِنْهُمْ وَ لا نِساءٌ مِنْ نِساءٍ عَسى‏ أَنْ يَكُنَّ خَيْراً مِنْهُنَ‏

The Verses – (Surah) Al Hujuraat: O you those who believe! A people should not mock a people, perhaps they happen to be better than them, nor should women mock women, perhaps they happen to be better than them, [49:11]

التحريم‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ ما أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَبْتَغِي مَرْضاتَ أَزْواجِكَ وَ اللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ

(Surah Al Tahreem): O you the Prophet! Do not deny (yourself) what Allah has Permitted for you, seeking pleasure of your wives, and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [66:1]

قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ تَحِلَّةَ أَيْمانِكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ مَوْلاكُمْ وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ

Allah has Imposed for you all a dissolution of your oaths, and Allah is your Guardian, and He is the Knowing, the Wise [66:2]

وَ إِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلى‏ بَعْضِ أَزْواجِهِ حَدِيثاً فَلَمَّا نَبَّأَتْ بِهِ وَ أَظْهَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَرَّفَ بَعْضَهُ وَ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ بَعْضٍ فَلَمَّا نَبَّأَها بِهِ قالَتْ مَنْ أَنْبَأَكَ هذا قالَ نَبَّأَنِيَ الْعَلِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ

And when the Prophet confided a Hadeeth to one of his wives, and when she informed with it (to another wife) and Allah Manifested it to him, he informed part of it and avoided from a part. So, when he informed her with it, she said, ‘Who informed you this?’ He said: ‘The Knowing, the Aware, informed me’. [66:3]

إِنْ تَتُوبا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُما وَ إِنْ تَظاهَرا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلاهُ وَ جِبْرِيلُ وَ صالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ

If you both repent to Allah, then He has Inclined both your hearts, and if you back each other against him, then surely Allah, He is his Guardian, and (so are) Jibraeel and the corrector of the Momineen; and the Angels after that are backers [66:4]

عَسى‏ رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْواجاً خَيْراً مِنْكُنَّ مُسْلِماتٍ مُؤْمِناتٍ قانِتاتٍ تائِباتٍ عابِداتٍ سائِحاتٍ ثَيِّباتٍ وَ أَبْكاراً

Perhaps, if he divorces you, his Lord would Give him wives better than you – submissive, faithful, obedient, penitent, worshippers, Fasting ones, widows and virgins [66:5]

إلى قوله تعالى‏ ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا امْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَ امْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ كانَتا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبادِنا صالِحَيْنِ فَخانَتاهُما فَلَمْ يُغْنِيا عَنْهُما مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً وَ قِيلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِلِينَ‏

Up to the Words of the Exalted: Allah Strikes an example for those who commit Kufr – the wife of Noah and wife of Lut. They were both under Our two servants from Our righteous servants. But, they betrayed them, so nothing availed them from Allah, and it would be Said: ‘Enter the Fire along with the entering ones!’ [66:10].

NOTES

فقيل إن رسول الله ص كان إذا صلى الغداة يدخل على أزواجه امرأة امرأة و كان قد أهديت لحفصة عكة من عسل فكانت إذا دخل عليها رسول الله ص مسلما حبسته و سقته منها و إن عائشة أنكرت احتباسه عندها فقالت لجويرية حبشية عندها إذا دخل رسول الله ص على حفصة فادخلي عليها فانظري ما تصنع فأخبرتها الخبر و شأن العسل

It is said that Rasool-Allahsaww, whenever hesaww prayed the morning Salat, would enter to see hissaww wives, woman by woman, and hesaww had gifted a jar of honey to Hafsa. When Rasool-Allahsaww went to her and was alone with her, she quenched himsaww from it, and Ayesha disliked it being withheld with her. She said to Juweyriya the Ethiopian who was with her, ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww goes to Hafs, then you go to her and look at what she does’. She informed her the news and the situation of the honey.

فغارت عائشة و أرسلت إلى صواحبها فأخبرتهن و قالت إذا دخل عليكن رسول الله ص فقلن إنا نجد منك ريح المغافير و هو صمغ العرفط كريه الرائحة و كان رسول الله ص يكره و يشق عليه أن توجد منه ريح غير طيبة لأنه يأتيه الملك

Ayesha was angry and sent messaged to her counterparts and informed them and said, ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww comes to you, then say, ‘We find a smell of ‘Al-Maghafir’, and it is a plant adhesives of abhorrent smell, and Rasool-Allahsaww used to dislike it, and it was grievous upon himsaww that a smell be found from himsaww other than perfume, because the Angels used to come to himsaww.

قال فدخل رسول الله ص على سودة قالت فما أردت أن أقول ذلك لرسول الله ص ثم إني فرقت‏ من عائشة فقلت يا رسول الله ما هذه الريح التي أجدها منك أكلت المغافير فقال‏ لا و لكن حفصة سقتني عسلا

He said, ‘So Rasool-Allahsaww entered to see Sawda. She said, ‘I did not want to say that to Rasool-Allahsaww, then I feared from Ayesha, so I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What is this smell which I find from yousaww? Have yousaww eaten ‘Al-Maghafir’?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, but Hafsa quenched mesaww some honey’.

ثم دخل على امرأة امرأة و هن يقلن له ذلك فدخل على عائشة فأخذت بأنفها فقال لها ما شأنك قالت أجد ريح المغافير أكلتها يا رسول الله قال لا بل سقتني حفصة عسلا فقالت جرست‏ إذا نحلها العرفط فقال ص و الله لا أطعمه أبدا فحرمه على نفسه و قيل إن التي كانت تسقي رسول الله‏ ص أم سلمة- عن عطا.

Then hesaww entered to see woman by woman, and they (all) said that to himsaww. Then hesaww entered to see Ayesha and she grabbed her nose. Hesaww said to her: ‘What is your concern?’ She said, ‘I find the smell of ‘Al-Maghafir’. Did yousaww eat it, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘But Hafsa quenched mesaww some honey’. She said, ‘Yousaww have eaten when the bees were in the tree’. Hesaww said: ‘By Allahazwj! Isaww will not eat it, ever’. So, hesaww prohibited it unto himselfsaww; and it is said that, the one who quenched Rasool-Allahsaww was Umm Salmara.

و قيل إن رسول الله ص قسم الأيام بين نسائه فلما كان يوم حفصة قالت يا رسول الله إن لي إلى أبي حاجة فأذن لي أن أزوره فأذن لها فلما خرجت أرسل رسول الله ص إلى جاريته مارية القبطية و كان قد أهداها له المقوقس فأدخلها بيت حفصة فوقع عليها فأتت حفصة فوجدت الباب مغلقا فجلست عند الباب

And it is said that Rasool-Allahsaww used to divide the days between hissaww wives. When it was the day of Hafsa, she said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! There is a need for me to my father, so permit me to visit him’. Hesaww permitted to her. When she went out, Rasool-Allahsaww sent a message to hissaww slave girl Mariah the Coptic, and Al-Nuqawqis had gifted her to himsaww. Hesaww entered her into the room of Hafsa and established marital relationship with her. Hafsa came and found the door locked, so she sat by the door.

فخرج رسول الله ص و وجهه يقطر عرقا فقالت حفصة إنما أذنت لي من أجل هذا أدخلت أمتك بيتي ثم وقعت عليها في يومي و على فراشي أ ما رأيت لي حرمة و حقا

Rasool-Allahsaww came out and hissaww face was dripping sweat. Hafsa said, ‘But rather yousaww permitted me due to this reason. Yousaww entered yoursaww maid into my house, then yousaww spent time with her during my day, and upon my bed. Yousaww did not see any sanctity for me and any right’.

فقال ص أ ليس هي جاريتي قد أحل الله ذلك لي اسكتي فهي حرام علي ألتمس بذاك رضاك فلا تخبري بهذا امرأة منهن و هو عندك أمانة فلما خرج ص قرعت حفصة الجدار الذي بينها و بين عائشة فقالت أ لا أبشرك أن رسول الله ص قد حرم عليه أمته مارية و قد أراحنا الله منها و أخبرت عائشة بما رأت و كانتا متصادقتين متظاهرتين على سائر أزواجه

Hesaww said: ‘Isn’t she mysaww slave girl? Allahazwj has Permitted that to mesaww. Do not inform this to any women from them and it is an entrustment with you’. When hesaww went out, Hafsa knocked the wall which was between her and Ayesha and said, ‘Shall I give you good news? Rasool-Allahsaww has prohibited hissaww maid Maiah upon himsaww and Allahazwj has Granted us rest from her’. And Ayesha informed with what she (Hafsa) had seen and they both ratifying each other and backing each other against the rest of hissaww wives.

فنزلت‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ‏ فطلق حفصة و اعتزل سائر نسائه تسعة و عشرين يوما و قعد في مشربة أم إبراهيم مارية حتى‏ نزلت آية التخيير.

It was Revealed: O you the Prophet! Do not deny (yourself) [66:1]. Hesaww freed (from) Hafsa and isolated from the rest of hissaww wives for twenty-one days and had sat in the drinking place of Umm Ibrahim Mariah until the Verse of the choice was Revealed.

- و قيل إن النبي خلا في يوم لعائشة مع جاريته أم إبراهيم فوقفت حفصة على ذلك فقال لها رسول الله ص لا تعلمي لعائشة ذلك و حرم مارية على نفسه فأعلمت حفصة عائشة بالخبر و استكتمتها إياه فأطلع الله نبيه على ذلك.

And it is said that the Prophetsaww was along with hissaww slave girl Umm Ibrahim on the day of Ayesham, and Hafsa stopped at that. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Do not let Ayesha know that’, and hesaww prohibited Mariah upon himselfsaww. But Hafsa told Ayesha the news and they both concealed it, and Allahazwj Notified Hisazwj Prophetsaww upon that’’.

وَ فِي كِتَابِ شَوَاهِدِ التَّنْزِيلِ بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَقَدْ عَرَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيّاً ع أَصْحَابَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَمَّا مَرَّةً فَحَيْثُ قَالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ وَ أَمَّا الثَّانِيَةَ فَحَيْثُ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلاهُ وَ جِبْرِيلُ وَ صالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ الْآيَةَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا صَالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

And in the book ‘Shawahid Al Tanzeel’ by the chain from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had twice introduced Aliasws to hissaww companions. As for once, it is where hesaww said: ‘One who Master Isaww was, so Aliasws is his Master, and as for the second, is where this Verse was Revealed: then surely Allah, He is his Guardian, and (so is) Jibraeel and the corrector of the Momineen [66:4] – the Verse. Rasool-Allahsaww grabbed a hand of Aliasws and said: ‘O you people! This is the corrector of the Momineen’’.

وَ قَالَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ عُمَيْسٍ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص يَقُولُ‏ وَ صالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ.

And Asma Bint Umeyr said, ‘I heard the Prophetsaww saying: ‘and the corrector of the Momineen [66:4], is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

1- يف، الطرائف رَوَى الثَّعْلَبِيُ‏ فِي تَفْسِيرِ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ إِنْ تَظاهَرا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلاهُ وَ جِبْرِيلُ وَ صالِحُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ قَالَ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏.

(The book) ‘Al-Taraif’ – Sa’alby reported regarding the interpretation of the Words of the Exalted: and if you back each other against him, then surely Allah, He is his Guardian, and (so are) Jibraeel and the corrector of the Momineen [66:4]. He said, ‘He is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’’.²³⁴

2- نهج، نهج البلاغة فَأَمَّا فُلَانَةُ فَأَدْرَكَهَا رَأْيُ النِّسَاءِ وَ ضِغْنٌ غَلَا فِي صَدْرِهَا كَمِرْجَلِ الْقَيْنِ وَ لَوْ دُعِيَتْ لِتَنَالَ مِنْ غَيْرِي مَا أَتَتْ إِلَيَّ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ وَ لَهَا بَعْدُ حُرْمَتُهَا الْأُولَى وَ الْحِسَابُ عَلَى اللَّهِ‏.

Nahj Al-Balagah – ‘As for so and so woman (Ayesha), she came across an opinion of the women and there was excessive grudge in her chest like the iron cauldron (heating up), and if she had been called, she would have attained from others what she did not come to measws for, she would not have done it, and for her after her being Prohibited formerly, and the Reckoning is upon Allahazwj’’.²³⁵

‘The exchange was such during the pre-Islamic period that the man would say to the man, ‘Exchange your wife with me and I will exchange my wife with you, you come down from your wife and I will come down from my wife. So, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: nor for you to replace them with (other) wives even though their beauty may fascinate you, [33:52].

He (Abu Hureyra the famous Ahadith fabricator) said, ‘Uyayna Bin Husayn came to the Prophetsaww and Ayesha was in hissaww presence, and he entered without permission. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘So where is the seeking of permission?’ He said, ‘I have not sought permission to see any man from the clan of Muzar since I became an adult’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ هَذِهِ الْحُمَيْرَاءُ إِلَى جَنْبِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَذِهِ عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ أَ فَلَا أَنْزِلُ‏ لَكَ عَنْ أَحْسَنِ الْخَلْقِ وَ تَنْزِلُ‏ عَنْهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ قَدْ حَرَّمَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ قَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ مَنْ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَذَا أَحْمَقُ مُطَاعٌ وَ إِنَّهُ عَلَى مَا تَرَيْنَ سَيِّدُ قَوْمِهِ‏.

Then he said, ‘Who is this ‘Al-Humeyra’ (female donkey) by yoursaww side’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘This is Ayesha, mother of the believers’. Uyayna said, ‘Can I get yousaww one who is of better manners than her and yousaww can get down (divorce) from her?’ Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Prohibited that unto mesaww’. When he went out Ayesha said to himsaww, ‘Who is this, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘He is an obedient fool and he is upon what you saw, a chief of his people’’.²³⁶

Tafseer al Qummi – Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibn Sayyar,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of the Exalted: O you the Prophet! Do not deny (yourself) what Allah has Permitted for you, [66:1] – the Verse. Heasws said: ‘Ayesha and Hafsa notified upon the Prophetsaww and hesaww was with Mariah. The Prophetsaww said: ‘By Allahazwj! Isaww will not go near her’, so Allahazwj Commanded himsaww to expiate from hissaww oath’’.

وَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏ كَانَ سَبَبَ نُزُولِهَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ بُيُوتِ نِسَائِهِ وَ كَانَتْ مَارِيَةُ الْقِبْطِيَّةُ تَكُونُ مَعَهُ تَخْدُمُهُ وَ كَانَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فِي بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ فَذَهَبَتْ حَفْصَةُ فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهَا فَتَنَاوَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَارِيَةَ فَعَلِمَتْ حَفْصَةُ بِذَلِكَ فَغَضِبَتْ وَ أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا فِي يَوْمِي وَ فِي دَارِي وَ عَلَى فِرَاشِي

Ali Bin Ibrahim said, ‘The reason for its Revelation is that Rasool-Allahsaww was in one of the rooms of hissaww wives and Mariah the Coptic happened to be with himsaww, serving himsaww; and one day hesaww was in the room of Hafsa. Hafsa went regarding a need of her and Rasool-Allahsaww attained (from) Mariha, and Hafsa came to know that. She got angry and faced towards Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This in my day, and in my room, and upon my bed!’

فَاسْتَحْيَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْهَا فَقَالَ كُفِّي فَقَدْ حَرَّمْتُ مَارِيَةَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ لَا أَطَؤُهَا بَعْدَ هَذَا أَبَداً وَ أَنَا أُفْضِي إِلَيْكِ سِرّاً فَإِنْ أَنْتِ أَخْبَرْتِ بِهِ فَعَلَيْكِ‏ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ‏ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ مَا هُوَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَلِي الْخِلَافَةَ بَعْدِي‏ ثُمَّ بَعْدَهُ أَبُوكِ‏ فَقَالَتْ مَنْ أَخْبَرَكَ بِهَذَا قَالَ اللَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي

Rasool-Allahsaww was embarrassed from her and hesaww said: ‘Refrain, for Isaww prohibited Mariah unto myselfsaww and Isaww will not got to her after this, ever, and Isaww am divulging a secret to you. So, if you were to inform (anyone) with it, then upon you would be the Curse of Allahazwj and the Angels and the people altogether’. She said, ‘Yes’. Hesaww said:’ Abu Bakr would be the Caliph after mesaww, then after him would be your father’. She said, ‘Who informed yousaww with this?’ Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Informed mesaww’.

فَأَخْبَرَتْ حَفْصَةُ عَائِشَةَ فِي يَوْمِهَا بِذَلِكَ وَ أَخْبَرَتْ عَائِشَةُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَجَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِلَى عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْنِي عَنْ حَفْصَةَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا أَثِقُ بِقَوْلِهَا فَاسْأَلْ أَنْتَ حَفْصَةَ فَجَاءَ عُمَرُ إِلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَخْبَرَتْ عَنْكِ عَائِشَةُ فَأَنْكَرَتْ ذَلِكَ وَ قَالَتْ لَهُ مَا قُلْتُ لَهَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً

Hafsa informed Ayesha with that during her day, and Ayesha informed Abu Bakr. So, Abu Bakr came to Umar and said to him, ‘Ayesha informed me from Hafsa with a thing, and I cannot rely with her words, so you go and ask Hafsa’. So, Umar came to Hafsa and said to her, ‘What is this which you informed from Ayesha?’ She denied that and said to him, ‘I did not say anything from that to her’.

فَقَالَ لَهَا عُمَرُ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا حَقّاً فَأَخْبِرِينَا حَتَّى نَتَقَدَّمَ فِيهِ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ فَاجْتَمَعُوا أَرْبَعَةً عَلَى أَنْ يَسُمُّوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَنَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِهَذِهِ السُّورَةِ.

Umar said to her, ‘If this was the truth, then inform us until we move ahead regarding it’. She said, ‘Yes. Rasool-Allahsaww had said that’. So, the four of them united upon that they would poison Rasool-Allahsaww’. So, Jibraeelas descended unto Rasool-Allahazwj with this Chapter’’.²³⁷

‘Hafsa found Rasool-Allahazwj being with Umm Ibrahim during the day of Ayesha. She said, ‘I shall inform her’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Conceal that, and she is prohibited unto mesaww’. But Hafsa informed Ayesha with that. Allahazwj Informed Hisazwj Prophetsaww and hesaww realised that Hafsa had divulged hissaww secret’.

فَقَالَتْ لَهُ‏ مَنْ أَنْبَأَكَ هذا قالَ نَبَّأَنِيَ الْعَلِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ فَآلَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ نِسَائِهِ شَهْراً فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ اسْمُهُ‏ إِنْ تَتُوبا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُما

She said to himsaww, she said, ‘Who informed you this?’ He said: ‘The Knowing, the Aware, informed me’. [66:3]. Rasool-Allahsaww stayed away from hissaww wives for a month, and Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Name, Revealed: If you both repent to Allah, then He has Inclined both your hearts, [66:4].

Ibn Abbas said, ‘Umar Bin Al-Khattab was asked about those two women backing each other against Rasool-Allahsaww and he said, ‘Hafsa and Ayesha’’.²³⁸

Hissaww whispering was prolonged, and that was grievous upon Ayesha. She said, ‘I intend to go to Aliasws and seize himasws’ – or she said, ‘Tell himasws off with my tongue regarding hisasws withholding Rasool-Allahsaww from me’.

فَضَرَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا وَيْكِ مَا تريد [تُرِيدِينَ‏] مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيِّدِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ قَائِدِ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww struck her between the shoulders, then said to her: ‘Woe be unto you! What do you intend from Emir of the Momineen, and chief of the successorsas, and guide of the resplendent?’’²⁴⁴

12- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ قَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ عِنْدَهُ عَائِشَةُ وَ حَفْصَةُ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا قُومَا فَادْخُلَا الْبَيْتَ فَقَالَتَا إِنَّهُ أَعْمَى فَقَالَ إِنْ لَمْ يَرَكُمَا فَإِنَّكُمَا تَرَيَانِهِ‏.

Al Kafi – The number, from Al Barqy who said,

‘Ibn Umm Maktum sought permission to see the Prophetsaww and Ayesha and Hafsa were in hissaww presence. Hesaww said to them both: ‘Get up and enter the room’. They said, ‘He is blind’. Hesaww said: ‘If he cannot see you both, then you two can see him’’.²⁴⁵

13- كا، الكافي عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَ سُئِلَ عَنِ التَّزْوِيجِ فِي شَوَّالٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص تَزَوَّجَ بِعَائِشَةَ فِي شَوَّالٍ‏.

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Harun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa who said,

‘I heard himasws saying, and heasws had been asked about the marriage during Shawwal. Heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww married Ayesha in Shawwal’’.²⁴⁶

14- كا، الكافي جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَامَ يَتَنَفَّلُ فَاسْتَيْقَظَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَضَرَبَتْ بِيَدِهَا فَلَمْ تَجِدْهُ فَظَنَّتْ أَنَّهُ قَدْ قَامَ إِلَى جَارِيَتِهَا فَقَامَتْ تَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِ فَوَطِئَتْ عَلَى عُنُقِهِ‏ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ بَاكٍ

Al Kafi – A group of our companions, from Ibn Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww was with Ayesha one night. Hesaww stood up and prayed Optional Salat. Ayesha woke up and groped (the bed) with her hand and could not find himsaww. She thought that hesaww had stood up to go to her slave girl. So, she stood up and circled around himsaww and stepped on hissaww neck while hesaww was in Sajdah, tearful.

يَقُولُ سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِي وَ خَيَالِي وَ آمَنَ بِكَ فُؤَادِي أَبُوءُ إِلَيْكَ بِالنِّعَمِ وَ أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِالذَّنْبِ الْعَظِيمِ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي‏ إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ

Hesaww was saying: ‘Mysaww body and mysaww thought are doing Sajdah to Youazwj, and mysaww heart believes in Youazwj acknowledge to Youazwj the Bounties and acknowledge to Youazwj with the grave sins. Isaww have done evil and I have been unjust to myself, therefore Forgive (my deed) for me. [28:16]. Surely no one forgives the grave sins except Youazwj. Isaww seek Refuge from Yourazwj Punishment and Isaww seek Refuge with Yourazwj Pleasure from Yourazwj Wrath, and Isaww seek Refuge with Yourazwj Mercy from Yourazwj Nemesis, and Isaww seek Refuge with Youazwj from Youazwj.

لَا أَبْلُغُ مَدْحَكَ وَ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

Yourazwj Glory cannot be reached (nor can) the praise upon Youazwj. Youazwj are just as Youazwj Affirmed upon Yourselfazwj. Isaww seek Yourazwj Forgiveness and Isaww repent to Youazwj’.

فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَقَدْ أَوْجَعْتِ عُنُقِي أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ خَشِيتِ أَنْ أَقُومَ إِلَى جَارِيَتَكِ‏.

When hesaww finished, hesaww said: ‘O Ayesha! You have pained mysaww neck. Which thing did you fear, that Isaww have arisen to go to your maid?’’²⁴⁷

15- وَ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ وَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادَ وَ سَأَلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ ذَلِكَ‏ فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا قَالُوا دَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ ع عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَائِشَةُ قَاعِدَةٌ خَلْفَهُ وَ الْبَيْتُ غَاصٌّ بِأَهْلِهِ فِيهِمُ الْخَمْسَةُ أَصْحَابُ الْكِسَاءِ وَ الْخَمْسَةُ أَصْحَابُ الشُّورَى وَ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَكَاناً

And it is found in the book of Suleym Bin Qays Al Hilali who said,

‘I heard Salmanra and Abu Zarrra and Al-Miqdadra and I did ask Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws about that (later one), and heasws said: ‘Theyra spoke the truth’. Theyasws said, ‘Aliasws entered to see Rasool-Allahsaww and Ayesha was seated behind himsaww, and the room was full with its people, among them were the five companions of the agreement, and the five companions of the consultation, and heasws could not find any place.

فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَاهُنَا يَعْنِي خَلْفَهُ وَ عَائِشَةُ قَاعِدَةٌ خَلْفَهُ وَ عَلَيْهَا كِسَاءٌ فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَقَعَدَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَيْنَ عَائِشَةَ فَغَضِبَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَ أَقْعَتْ كَمَا يُقْعِي الْأَعْرَابِيُ‏ قَدْ قَدَعَتْهُ عَائِشَةُ وَ غَضِبَتْ وَ قَالَتْ مَا وَجَدْتَ لِاسْتِكَ مَوْضِعاً غَيْرَ حَجْرِي

Rasool-Allahsaww gestured towards himasws: ‘Over here!’ – meaning behind himsaww, and Ayesha was seated behind himsaww and upon her was a cloak. So, Aliasws came and sat between Rasool-Allahsaww and Ayesha (with hisasws back to her). Ayesha got angry and crouched just as the Bedouins tend to crouch, and Ayesha bumped himasws and was angry and said, ‘Did youasws not find for yourselfasws any place apart from my lap?’

فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ مَهْ يَا حُمَيْرَاءُ لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي أَخِي عَلِيٍّ فَإِنَّهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ سَيِّدُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ صَاحِبُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ

Rasool-Allahsaww was angered and said: ‘Shh, O Humeyra (she-ass)! Do not hurt mesaww regarding mysaww brotherasws Aliasws, for heasws is Emir of the Momineen, and chief of the Muslims, and master of the resplendent on the day of Qiyamah. Allahazwj will Make himasws to be upon the bridge’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى يُقْعِدُهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ فَيُقَاسِمُ النَّارَ فَيُدْخِلُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ يُدْخِلُ أَعْدَاءَهُ النَّارَ.

And in another report – ‘Allahazwj will Make himasws to be seated upon the Bridge on the Day of Qiyamah, and heasws will apportion the Fire and enter hisasws friends into the Paradise, and enter hisasws enemies into the Fire’’.²⁴⁸

16- تَقْرِيبُ الْمَعَارِفِ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ إِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلى‏ بَعْضِ أَزْواجِهِ حَدِيثاً قَالَ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِمَا أَمْرَ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ وَ أَسَرَّ إِلَيْهِمَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرَ يَلِيَانِ أَمْرَ الْأُمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ظَالِمَيْنِ فَاجِرَيْنِ غَادِرَيْنِ‏.

(The book) ‘Taqreen Al-Maarif’ – From Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: And when the Prophet confided a Hadeeth to one of his wives, [66:3]. Heasws said: ‘Hesaww divulged to them the matter of the Coptic (Mariah), and divulged to them that Abu Bakr and Umar would be pursuing the matter of the Caliphate from after himsaww being unjust, immoral, treacherous’’.²⁴⁹

17- الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ، فِي حَدِيثِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُلْوَانَ وَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ إِذْ أَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ إِلى‏ بَعْضِ أَزْواجِهِ حَدِيثاً هِيَ حَفْصَةُ

(The book) ‘Al Siraat Al Mustaqeem’ – In a Hadeeth of Al Husayn Bin Ulwan and al Daylami,

‘From Al-Sadiqasws regarding the Words of the Exalted: And when the Prophet confided a Hadeeth to one of his wives, [66:3] – it is Hafsa.

قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع كَفَرَتْ فِي قَوْلِهَا مَنْ أَنْبَأَكَ هذا وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا وَ فِي أُخْتِهَا إِنْ تَتُوبا إِلَى اللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُما أَيْ زَاغَتْ وَ الزَّيْغُ الْكُفْرُ

Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘She committed Kufr by her words: ‘Who informed you this?’ [66:3]. And Allahazwj Said regarding her and her sister (Ayesha): If you both repent to Allah, then He has Inclined both your hearts, [66:4], i.e. evaded, and the evasion, it is the Kufr’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أَنَّهُ أَعْلَمَ حَفْصَةَ أَنَّ أَبَاهَا وَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ يَلِيَانِ الْأَمْرَ فَأَفْشَتْ إِلَى عَائِشَةَ فَأَفْشَتْ إِلَى أَبِيهَا فَأَفْشَى إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَاجْتَمَعَا عَلَى أَنْ يَسْتَعْجِلَا ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنْ يَسْقِيَاهُ سَمّاً فَلَمَّا أَخْبَرَهُ اللَّهُ بِفِعْلِهِمَا هَمَّ بِقَتْلِهِمَا فَحَلَفَا لَهُ أَنَّهُمَا لَمْ يَفْعَلَا فَنَزَلَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لا تَعْتَذِرُوا الْيَوْمَ‏.

And in a report – ‘Hesaww let Hafsa know that her father and Abu Bakr would be pursuing the command. She divulged it to Ayesha, and she divulged it to her father, and he divulged it to his companion. Then they all united upon that they would hasten that upon that they should poison himsaww. When Allahazwj Informed himsaww of their deed, hesaww thought of killing them both (Abu Bakr and Umar), but they both took oath to himasws that they did not do so. So, it was Revealed: O you those who commit Kufr! Do not offer excuses today. [66:7]’’.²⁵⁰

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Musa Bin Bak, from Zurara,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘Ibn Am Maktoum recited the Azan for the morning Prayer, and a man passed by Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww was partaking a pre-dawn meal. So hesaww invited him that he eats with him, but he said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The Muezzin has called the Azan for the dawn’. So hesaww said: ‘This is Ibn Am Maktoum, and he is reciting Azan at night. However, when Bilal recites Azan, so during that, you refrain’’.²⁵⁶

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad altogether, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the (distinction of the) white thread from the black thread. Heasws said: (It is) the whiteness of the day from the blackness of the night’. Heasws said: ‘Bilal used to call the Azan for the Prophetsaww, and Ibn Am Maktoum, and he was blind, would call the Azan at night, and Bilal would call the Azan when the dawn emerged. The Prophetsaww said: ‘When you hear Bilal, so leave the food and the drink, for it would have become a morning’’.²⁵⁷

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla, from Al Washa, from Al Musna, from Ismail Al Jufy,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘What is yourasws view of Umm Ayman, for Iasws testify that she is from the people of the Paradise, and (although) she did not understand what you (Shias) are upon’’.²⁵⁸

Al Kafi – The number, from Ibn Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Bin Salim, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww got Miqdad Bin Al-Aswadas married to Zuba’at daughter of Al-Zubeyr Bin Abdul Muttalib, and rather hesaww got himas married in order to set the rules of the marriage and (for people) to follow the footsteps of Rasool-Allahsaww, and to let them know that the most prestigious of them in the Presence of Allahazwj is the most pious of them’, and Al-Zubeyr was a brother of Abdullahasws and Abu Talibasws to theirasws father and theirasws mother’’.²⁵⁹

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from the two sons of Isa, and Ali, from his father both together, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Hamza,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Quraysh intended to kill the Prophetsaww, they said, ‘How would it be for us with Abu Lahabla?’ Umm Jameel said, ‘I shall suffice him for you all. I will say to him that I will sit in the house today for morning drinking’. When it was the next morning and the Polytheists were ready for the Prophetsaww, Abu Lahabla and Umm Jameel sat drinking.

فَدَعَا أَبُو طَالِبٍ عَلِيّاً ع فَقَالَ‏ لَهُ يَا بُنَيَّ اذْهَبْ إِلَى عَمِّكَ أَبِي لَهَبٍ فَاسْتَفْتِحْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ فُتِحَ لَكَ فَادْخُلْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَكَ فَتَحَامَلْ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَ اكْسِرْهُ وَ ادْخُلْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْ لَهُ يَقُولُ لَكَ أَبِي إِنَّ امْرَأً عَمُّهُ عَيْنُهُ فِي الْقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِذَلِيلٍ

Abu Talibasws called Aliasws and said to himasws: ‘O myas sonasws! Go to yourasws uncle Abu Lahabla and to open (his door). So, if he does open for youasws, then enter, and if he does not open for youasws, then attack upon the door and break it and enter to him. Then, when youasws enter to him, say to him: ‘Myasws fatheras saying to you that a man whose uncle is a spy among his people wouldn’t be humiliated’.

قَالَ فَذَهَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَوَجَدَ الْبَابَ مُغْلَقاً فَاسْتَفْتَحَ فَلَمْ يُفْتَحْ لَهُ فَتَحَامَلَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَكَسَرَهُ وَ دَخَلَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَبُو لَهَبٍ قَالَ لَهُ مَا لَكَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي فَقَالَ لَهُ‏ أَبِي يَقُولُ لَكَ إِنَّ امْرَأً عَمُّهُ عَيْنُهُ فِي الْقَوْمِ لَيْسَ بِذَلِيلٍ

Heasws said: ‘So Amir Al-Momineenasws went and found the door locked. Heasws asked for it to be opened but he did not open it for himasws. Heasws attacked upon the door and broke it and entered. When Abu Lahabla saw himasws, said to himasws, ‘What is the matter with youasws, O sonasws of my brotheras?’ Heasws said to him: ‘Myasws fatheras is saying to you that a person whose uncle is a spy among the people would be with the humiliation’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ صَدَقَ أَبُوكَ فَمَا ذَاكَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي فَقَالَ لَهُ يُقْتَلُ ابْنُ أَخِيكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَأْكُلُ وَ تَشْرَبُ فَوَثَبَ فَأَخَذَ سَيْفَهُ فَتَعَلَّقَتْ بِهِ أُمُّ جَمِيلٍ فَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ وَ لَطَمَ وَجْهَهَا لَطْمَةً فَفَقَأَ عَيْنَهَا فَمَاتَتْ وَ هِيَ عَوْرَاءُ وَ خَرَجَ أَبُو لَهَبٍ وَ مَعَهُ السَّيْفُ

He said to himasws, ‘Yourasws fatheras spoke the truth, so what is that, O sonasws of my brotheras?’ Heasws said to him: ‘They want to kill the sonsaww of your brotheras and you are eating and drinking?’ He leapt up and grabbed his sword. Umm Jameel attached herself with him, so he raised his hand and slapped her face with a slap, her eye popped out and she died, and she was horrified, and Abu Lahab went out and the sword was with him.

فَلَمَّا رَأَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ عَرَفَتِ الْغَضَبَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَتْ مَا لَكَ يَا أَبَا لَهَبٍ فَقَالَ أُبَايِعُكُمْ عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِي ثُمَّ تُرِيدُونَ قَتْلَهُ وَ اللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أُسْلِمَ ثُمَّ تَرَوْنَ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَاعْتَذَرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ رَجَعَ‏.

When Quraysh saw him, they recognised the anger in his face. They said, ‘What is the matter with you, O Abu Lahabla?’ He said, ‘I pledged allegiance to you upon the sonsaww of my brotheras, then you are intending to kill himsaww? By Al Laat and Al Uzza! I have thought about becoming a Muslim, then you will see what I will do’. They presented excuses to him and returned’’.²⁶⁰

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam and a number of our companions, from Ahmad bin Abu Abdullah, from Ismail Bin Mihran altogether from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Ammar Bin Hayyan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww, a sister of hissaww from the breast-feeding came to himsaww. When hesaww looked at her hesaww was cheered by her and spread hissaww cloth for her and made her to be seated upon it. Then hesaww went on to discuss with her and smiling in her face.

ثُمَّ قَامَتْ فَذَهَبَتْ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهَا فَلَمْ يَصْنَعْ بِهِ مَا صَنَعَ بِهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَنَعْتَ بِأُخْتِهِ مَا لَمْ تَصْنَعْ بِهِ وَ هُوَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لِأَنَّهَا كَانَتْ أَبَرَّ بِوَالِدَيْهَا مِنْهُ‏.

Then she stood up and went. Then her brother came, but he did not do with him what hesaww had done with her. It was said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww did with yoursaww (step) sister what yousaww did not do with him and (although) he is a man’. Hesaww said: ‘Because she is more righteous with her parents than he is’’.²⁶¹

12- مِنَ الدِّيوَانِ الْمَنْسُوبِ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع رَوَى الشَّارِحُ‏ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ‏ كَانَ قَبْلَ الْهِجْرَةِ فِي جِوَارِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى مَا يَلْقَى سَائِرُ الصَّحَابَةِ مِنَ الْأَذَى خَرَجَ مِنْ جِوَارِهِ لِيَكُونَ أُسْوَةً لَهُمْ فَقَرَأَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَجْلِسِ لَبِيدُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ

أَلَا كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مَا خَلَا اللَّهَ بَاطِلٌ‏

وَ كُلُّ نَعِيمٍ لَا مَحَالَةَ زَائِلٌ‏

From the register attributed to Amir Al-Momineenasws – Al-Sharih reported that Usman, before the migration, was in the neighbourhood of Al-Waleed Bin Al-Mugheira. When he saw what harm the rest of the companions are facing, he went out from his neighbourhood in order to become an example for them. So, he recited during that gathering to Labeed Bin Al-Mugheira (a poem), ‘Indeed! All things, apart from Allahazwj, are false, and all bounties have no escape from decaying’.

فَصَدَّقَ عُثْمَانُ الْمِصْرَاعَ الْأَوَّلَ وَ أَنْكَرَ الثَّانِيَ وَ وَقَعَ التَّشَاجُرُ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَطَمَ شَابٌّ مِنَ الْقُرَيْشِ عُثْمَانَ فَأُصِيبَ بِإِحْدَى عَيْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْوَلِيدُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِ كَانَتْ عَيْنُكَ عَمَّا أَصَابَهَا لَغَنِيَّةً وَ كُنْتَ فِي ذِمَّةٍ مَنِيعَةٍ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عَيْنِيَ الصَّحِيحَةَ لَفَقِيرَةٌ إِلَى مَا أَصَابَ أُخْتَهَا فِي اللَّهِ

Usman ratified the first sentence and denied the second, and a quarrel occurred between them. A youth from the Quraysh slapped Usman and injured one of his eyes. Al-Waleed said to him, ‘O son of a brother! Your eye was needless from what injured it, and you were in protective immunity’. Usman said, ‘By Allahazwj! My healthy eye is begging to what its counterpart has been afflicted with for the Sake of Allahazwj’.

ثُمَّ أَنْشَدَ

فَإِنْ تَكُ عَيْنِي فِي رِضَا الرَّبِّ نَالَهَا

يَدَا مُلْحِدٍ فِي الدِّينِ لَيْسَ بِمُهْتَدِي‏

فَقَدْ عَوَّضَ الرَّحْمَنُ مِنْهَا ثَوَابَهُ‏

وَ مَنْ يَرْضَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ يَا قَوْمِ يَسْعَدْ

Then he (Usman) prosed, ‘Although my eye, in the Pleasure of the Lordazwj, encountered a hand of an atheist regarding the Religion, not being guided by me, so the Beneficent has Compensated me from it with Hisazwj Rewards , and the one who pleases the Beneficent, O people, is Assisted, and I, and even though you are saying, am deviated, strayed, foolish upon the Religion of the Rasoolsaww Muhammadsaww, I intend Allahazwj with that, and the Truth is our Religion, and upon the nose-rubbing of the one who seeks against us and transgresses.

So, no, clan of Fihr, do not speak of the betrayal, and take advantage of the gaps of the events during tomorrow, and you are claiming with woe in the Blazing Fire and you have seats at the confluence of the Fires. Whenever you will call for the drink, you will be quenched boiling water not cooled’.

فَأَنْشَدَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع هَذِهِ الْأَبْيَاتَ غَضَباً لَهُ وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ هَذَا أَوَّلُ شِعْرٍ أَنْشَدَهُ شِعْرٌ

وَ الْغَدْرُ فِيهِمْ سَبِيلٌ غَيْرُ مَأْمُونٍ‏

Amir Al-Momineenasws prosed these couplets in anger to him, and it is said that this is the first poem heasws had prosed: ‘Is it from the mention of a people without a curse? Iasws woke up in the morning depressed crying like in grief. Is it from the mentioned of people with foolishness overcome with the injustice. One who calls to the Religion is not ending from the immoral ones and what they are enjoining, and the treachery among them is a way unsafe.

أَ لَا يَرَوْنَ أَقَلَّ اللَّهُ خَيْرَهُمْ‏

وَ نَمْنَعُ الضَّيْمَ مَنْ يَرْجُو هَضِيمَتَنَا

بِكُلِّ مُطَّرِدٍ فِي الْكَفِّ مَسْنُونٍ‏

Indeed! Are they not seeing Allahazwj is Causing their best ones to be fewer? We are angered for Usman Bin Mazoun when they are slapping us and they are not fearing facing us, with stabbing and unconscious beatings. Soon we will recompense them if they do not died currently, measure by measure, a recompense without question, or they should end from the matter which they are pausing in, and they are pleasing from us after with the religion, and we will prevent the host from being our host with every regularity in the old palm.

And laxatives as if the salt is mixed with it, curing the illness with it from the important madmen, until the men who have no solutions for them settle down, after the difficulty of allowing and softening, or believing in a Boon Sent down, wondering upon a Prophetas like Musaas or like Zul Noon, he comes to a matter unambiguous without crookedness, just as it has been manifested in the Verses of (Surah) Yaseen’’.²⁶²

Al Kafi – The number, from Sahl, from Ahmad, Bin Hilal, from Zar’a, from Sama’at who said,

‘A man from the children of Umar Bin Al-Khattab exposed (molested) a maid of an Uqeyli man. She said to him, It was this Umary who has hurt me’. He said to her, ‘Let him come into the corridor’. 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’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, and no one killed our companion except himasws.

And Abu Abdullahasws had gone near the Quba. I met himasws and told of the gathering of the people against himasws. Heasws said: ‘Leave them’. 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’. 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. But when they came out, they were saying, ‘Our Sheikh is Abu Abdullah Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws. We seek Refuge with Allahazwj that there was someone like himasws and for having done this, or ordered for it’. Then they dispersed.

قَالَ فَمَضَيْتُ مَعَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا كَانَ أَقْرَبَ رِضَاهُمْ مِنْ سَخَطِهِمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ دَعَوْتُهُمْ فَقُلْتُ أَمْسِكُوا وَ إِلَّا أَخْرَجْتُ الصَّحِيفَةَ فَقُلْتُ 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!’ I said, ‘And what is this Parchment, may I be sacrificed for youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘The mother of Al-Khattab was a slave girl of Al-Zubeyr Bin Abdul Muttalib. Nufeyl seduced her and impregnated her. 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 your Nufeyl’.

فَهَرَبَ مِنْهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ وَ خَرَجَ الزُّبَيْرُ فِي تِجَارَةٍ لَهُ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى مَلِكِ الدُّومَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ‏ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ قَدْ أَخَذْتَ وَلَدَهُ فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَرُدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِيَظْهَرْ لِي حَتَّى أَعْرِفَهُ

So he ran away from it to Syria and Al-Zubeyr went out on business to Syria. 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, and I would love to return him back to his father’. He said, ‘Display him to me until I can recognise him’.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ دَخَلَ الْمَلِكَ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الْمَلِكُ ضَحِكَ قَالَ 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

When it was the morning, he came up to the King. When the King saw him, he laughed. 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 فَكَلِّمُوهُ فَقَصَدُوهُ وَ كَلَّمُوهُ

When Al-Zubeyr went he carried him to the Quraysh who insisted that he hand over to him (Nufayl) his son (Al-Khattab born from the slave girl of Al-Zubeyr). Then they took him to Abdul Muttalibasws. 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’.

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 أَنْ لَا 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.

Al-Zubeyr said to them, ‘Then 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’. They did that, and marked his face with the iron, and wrote against him a document, and that document is in ourasws possession. 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 ص لَمْ يُخَلِّفْ وَارِثاً فَخَاصَمَ فِيهِ وُلْدُ الْعَبَّاسِ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ كَانَ هِشَامُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَدْ حَجَّ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ فَجَلَسَ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْوَلَاءُ لَنَا وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بَلِ الْوَلَاءُ لِي

And a slave of the Rasool-Allahsaww died and did not leave any inheritors behind. 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. 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’.

فَقَالَ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ قَاتَلَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ قَاتَلَ أَبِي مُعَاوِيَةَ فَقَدْ كَانَ حَظُّ أَبِيكَ فِيهِ الْأَوْفَرَ ثُمَّ فَرَّ بِجِنَايَتِهِ‏ وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأُطَوِّقَنَّكَ غَداً طَوْقَ الْحَمَامَةِ فَقَالَ‏ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ كَلَامُكَ هَذَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَعْرَةٍ فِي وَادِي الْأَزْرَقِ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ وَادٍ لَيْسَ لَكَ وَ لَا لِأَبِيكَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ

Dawood Bin Ali said, ‘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’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ إِذَا كَانَ غَداً جَلَسْتُ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ خَرَجَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ مَعَهُ كِتَابٌ فِي كِرْبَاسَةٍ وَ جَلَسَ لَهُمْ هِشَامٌ فَوَضَعَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْكِتَابَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ‏ قَرَأَ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِي جَنْدَلَ الْخُزَاعِيَّ وَ عُكَّاشَةَ الضَّمْرِيَ‏ وَ كَانَا شَيْخَيْنِ قَدْ أَدْرَكَا الْجَاهِلِيَّةَ

Hisham said, ‘When it is the morning, I shall sit (in Judgement) for you’. 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. Abu Abdullahasws placed the document in front of him. 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.

فَرَمَى بِالْكِتَابِ إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ تَعْرِفَانِ هَذِهِ الْخُطُوطَ قَالا نَعَمْ هَذَا خَطُّ الْعَاصِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَ هَذَا خَطُّ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ لِقَوْمِ فُلَانٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ‏ وَ هَذَا خَطُّ حَرْبِ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ فَقَالَ هِشَامٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَرَى خُطُوطَ أَجْدَادِي عِنْدَكُمْ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ قَدْ قَضَيْتُ بِالْوَلَاءِ لَكَ قَالَ فَخَرَجَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ‏

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 Quraysh, and this is the handwriting of Harb Bin Umayya’. 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’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الْكِتَابُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ إِنَّ نُثَيْلَةَ 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 لَهُ قَدْ أَجَبْتُكَ عَلَى خَلَّةٍ عَلَى أَنْ لَا يَتَصَدَّرَ ابْنُكَ هَذَا فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَ لَا يَضْرِبَ مَعَنَا فِي سَهْمٍ‏ فَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ كِتَاباً وَ أَشْهَدَ عَلَيْهِ فَهُوَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ‏.

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, what is this document?’ Heasws said: ‘Nushaylat was a maid for the mother of Al-Zubeyr, and for Abu Talibasws, and Abdullahasws. Abdul Muttalibasws took her, and she gave birth to her son so and so (Al-Abbas)’. 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 Quraysh. 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’. He wrote against them a document, and testified against them. So this is that document’’.²⁶³

Nahj Al Balagah – In a letter Amir Al Momineenasws wrote to Muawiya: ‘A people from the Emigrants are being martyred in the Way of Allahazwj, and for every merit to the extent that when our martyrs get martyred it is said, ‘Chief of the martyrs’, and Rasool-Allahsaww particularised him (Hamzaasws) with seventy exclamations of Takbeers at hissaww Salat upon himasws, or do you not see that a people, their hands were cut in the Way of Allahazwj and for every merit to the extent that it was done with one of us what was done with one of them, it was said, ‘He (Ja’farasws) flies in the Paradise and is with two wings’.

وَ سَاقَ ع الْكَلَامَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ مِنَّا أَسَدُ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْكُمْ أَسَدُ الْأَحْلَافِ‏.

And heasws continued the speech up to heasws said: ‘From us is the Lion of Allahazwj (Hamzaasws) and from you is the lion of the opposition (Abu Sufyan)’’.²⁶⁴

Tafseer Al-Qummi – The Prophet-hood was Revealed unto Rasool-Allahsaww on the day of Monday, and Aliasws professed Islam on the day of Tuesday, then Khadeejaas Bint Khuweylid, wife of the Prophetsaww professed Islam. Then Abu Talibsaww came to the Prophetsaww and hesaww was praying Salat and Aliasws was by hissaww side, and Ja’farasws was with Abu Talibasws.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو طَالِبٍ صِلْ جَنَاحَ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ فَوَقَفَ جَعْفَرٌ عَلَى يَسَارِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَبَدَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ بَيْنِهِمَا فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ جَعْفَرٌ وَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ وَ خَدِيجَةُ إِلَى أَنْ أَنْزَلَ‏ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏ فَاصْدَعْ بِما تُؤْمَرُ الْآيَةَ.

Abu Talibasws said to himasws: ‘Connect the wings of the sonsaww of yourasws uncleasws’. So, Ja’farasws stood on the left of Rasool-Allahsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww hastened from between them, and Rasool-Allahsaww and Aliasws and Zayd Bin Haris and Khadeejaasws used to pray Salat until Allahazwj Revealed unto himsaww: proclaim what you are Commanded with [15:94] – the Verse’’.²⁶⁵

(The book) ‘Al Illal Al Sharaie’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Nazr Al Khazzaz, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir Bin Yazeed Al Jufy,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to Hisazwj Rasoolsaww: “Iazwj am Grateful to Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws of four traits”. The Prophetsaww called himasws and informed himasws.

فَقَالَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَخْبَرَكَ مَا أَخْبَرْتُكَ مَا شَرِبْتُ خَمْراً قَطُّ لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنِّي إِنْ شَرِبْتُهَا زَالَ عَقْلِي وَ مَا كَذَبْتُ قَطُّ لِأَنَّ الْكَذِبَ‏ يَنْقُصُ‏ الْمُرُوَّةَ وَ مَا زَنَيْتُ قَطُّ لِأَنِّي خِفْتُ أَنِّي إِذَا عَمِلْتُ عُمِلَ بِي وَ مَا عَبَدْتُ صَنَماً قَطُّ لِأَنِّي عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ

Heasws said: ‘Had Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted not Informed yousaww, Iasws would not inform yousaww. Iasws have not drunk wine at all because Iasws know that if Iasws were to drink it, myasws intellect would decline; and Iasws have not lied at all because the liar, his personality reduces; and Iasws have not committed adultery at all, because Iasws fear that when Iasws do so, it would be done with (those close to) measws; and Iasws have not worshipped an idol at all, because Iasws know that it can neither harm nor benefit’.

Heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww struck hissaww hand upon hisasws shoulder and said: ‘Youasws have a right upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj Makes two wings to be for youasws to fly with these along with the Angels in the Paradise’’.²⁶⁶

‘One day Rasool-Allahsaww went out and hesaww was holding a hand of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and hesaww was saying: ‘O community of the Helpers! O community of the Clan of Hashimasws!

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Al Hamdany, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Al Yaqteeny, from Yunus, from Ibn Asbaat, from ali Bin Salim, from his father, from Sabit bin Abu Safiya who said,

‘Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, Chief of the worshippers looked at Ubeydullah Bin Abbas son of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and suddenly burst out crying, then said: ‘There was no day severer upon Rasool-Allahsaww than the day of Ohad. Hissaww uncleasws Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws was killed during it, lion of Allahazwj and lion of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww; and after it the day of Motah, son of hissaww uncleasws Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws was killed during it’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع وَ لَا يَوْمَ كَيَوْمِ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ ازْدَلَفَ إِلَيْهِ‏ ثَلَاثُونَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ كُلٌّ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِدَمِهِ وَ هُوَ بِاللَّهِ يُذَكِّرُهُمْ فَلَا يَتَّعِظُونَ حَتَّى قَتَلُوهُ بَغْياً وَ ظُلْماً وَ عُدْوَاناً

Then heasws said: ‘And there is no day like the day of Al-Husaynasws. Heasws was attacked upon by thirty thousand men claiming to be from this community, all of them trying to get closer to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by (shedding) hisasws blood, and heasws, by Allahazwj, was reminding them. They did not take the preaching until they killed himasws, with rebellion, and injustice, and aggression’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع رَحِمَ اللَّهُ الْعَبَّاسَ فَلَقَدْ آثَرَ وَ أَبْلَى وَ فَدَى أَخَاهُ بِنَفْسِهِ حَتَّى قُطِعَتْ يَدَاهُ فَأَبْدَلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِمَا جَنَاحَيْنِ يَطِيرُ بِهِمَا مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا جَعَلَ لِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ إِنَّ لِلْعَبَّاسِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مَنْزِلَةً يَغْبِطُهُ بِهَا جَمِيعُ الشُّهَدَاءِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Then heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on Al-Abbas, for he preferred, and was afflicted, and ransomed hisasws brotherasws until hisasws two hands were cut off, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Replaced these with two wings, heasws flies with them along with the Angels in the Paradise just as Heazwj had Made for Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and that for Al-Abbasasws Blessed and Exalted there is a status the entirety of the martyrs would envy himasws for it on the Day of Qiyamah’’.²⁷¹

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad – Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Qaddah,

‘From Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws said: ‘From us there are seven, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created them, Heazwj did not Created anyone in the earth like them – From us is Rasool-Allahsaww Chief of the former ones and the latter ones, and seal of the Prophetsas, and hissaww successorasws is the best of the successorsas, and hissaww grandsonsasws are the best of the grandsonsasws Hassanasws and Husaynasws, and chief of the martyrs Hamzaasws, and one who flies along with the Angels Ja’farasws, and Al-Qaimasws’’.²⁷⁴

(The book) ‘Al-Istiyaab’ – It is reported from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘Hamzaasws is chief of the martyrs’; and it is reported: ‘Best of the martyrs, and had you not found himasws as purified, Isaww would have neglected burying himasws until heasws would have been resurrected from the bellies of the bird and the predators’, and heasws and hisasws companions (bodies) had been trampled (by horses) on that day (of Ohad)’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ خَلْقاً وَ خُلُقاً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ جَعْفَرٌ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ عَلِيٍّ بِعَشْرِ سِنِينَ وَ كَانَ عَقِيلٌ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ جَعْفَرٍ بِعَشْرِ سِنِينَ‏ وَ كَانَ طَالِبٌ أَكْبَرَ مِنْ عَقِيلٍ بِعَشْرِ سِنِينَ وَ كَانَ جَعْفَرٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ هَاجَرَ إِلَى أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ

Heasws said: ‘And Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws was the most resembling of the people with Rasool-Allahsaww in manners and physique, and Ja’farasws was older than Aliasws by ten years, and Aqeel was older than Ja’farasws by ten years, and Talibasws was older than Aqeel by ten years; and Ja’farasws was from the first of the emigrants to emigrate to the land of Ethiopia.

وَ قَدِمَ مِنْهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ فَتْحِ خَيْبَرَ فَتَلَقَّاهُ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ اعْتَنَقَهُ وَ قَالَ مَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّهِمَا أَنَا أَشَدُّ فَرَحاً بِقُدُومِ جَعْفَرٍ أَمْ بِفَتْحِ خَيْبَرَ وَ كَانَ قُدُومُهُ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ مِنْ أَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ فِي السَّنَةِ السَّابِعَةِ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَ اخْتَطَّ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى جَنْبِ الْمَسْجِدِ

And heasws arrived from it to Rasool-Allahsaww when Khyber had been conquered. The Prophetsaww met himasws and hugged himasws and said: ‘Isaww do not know which of the two Isaww am more happier, with the arrival of Ja’farasws or with the conquest of Khyber; and hisasws and hisasws companion’s arrival from the land of Ethiopia was during the year seven from the emigration, and Rasool-Allahsaww lined up (the companions) for himasws to the side of the Masjid.

ثُمَّ غَزَا غَزْوَةَ مُؤْتَةَ فِي سَنَةِ ثَمَانٍ مِنَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَ قَاتَلَ فِيهَا حَتَّى قُطِعَتْ يَدَاهُ جَمِيعاً ثُمَّ قُتِلَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَبْدَلَهُ بِيَدَيْهِ جَنَاحَيْنِ يَطِيرُ بِهِمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ شَاءَ فَمِنْ هُنَالِكَ قِيلَ لَهُ جَعْفَرٌ ذُو الْجَنَاحَيْنِ.

Then there was the military expedition of Motah in the year eight from the emigration, and heasws fought in it until both hisasws hands were cut off, then heasws was killed. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Replaced himasws with two wings heasws is flying with in the Paradise wherever heasws so desires to. So, from then, it is said for himasws ‘Zul-Janahayn’ (One with two wings)’’.

وَ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ قَالَ: أُرِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي النَّوْمِ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ذَا جَنَاحَيْنِ مُضَرَّجاً بِالدَّمِ.

And from Salim Bin Abu Al-Ja’ad who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww saw in the dream Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws with two wings stained with the blood’’.

وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: وَجَدْنَا مَا بَيْنَ صَدْرِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ وَ مَا أَقْبَلَ مِنْهُ تِسْعِينَ جِرَاحَةً مَا بَيْنَ ضَرْبَةٍ بِالسَّيْفِ وَ طَعْنَةٍ بِالرُّمْحِ وَ لَمَّا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ص نَعْيُ جَعْفَرٍ أَتَى امْرَأَتَهُ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتَ عُمَيْسٍ فَعَزَّاهَا فِي زَوْجِهَا جَعْفَرٍ وَ دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَ هِيَ تَبْكِي وَ تَقُولُ وَا عَمَّاهْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى مِثْلِ جَعْفَرٍ فَلْتَبْكِ الْبَوَاكِي.

And from Ibn Umar who said, ‘We found what is between the chest of Ja’farasws and hisasws shoulders and what faces from it, ninety injuries, what is between the strike of the sword, and stab of the spear. And when the news of expiry of Ja’farasws came to the Prophetsaww, hisasws wife Asma Bint Umays came, and hesaww consoled her regarding her husband Ja’farasws; and (Syeda) Fatimaasws came and sheasws was crying and saying: ‘Waah uncle!’ Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Upon the likes of Ja’farasws, let the crying ones cry’’.

وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ لِجَعْفَرٍ أَشْبَهْتَ خَلْقِي وَ خُلُقِي يَا جَعْفَرُ.

And from Aliasws: ‘The Prophetsaww said to Ja’farasws: ‘Youasws resemble mysaww physique and mysaww manners, O Ja’farasws!’’

وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ دَخَلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا فِيهَا جَعْفَرٌ يَطِيرُ مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ إِذَا حَمْزَةُ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ‏.

And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Last night Isaww entered the Paradise and therein was Ja’farasws flying around along with the Angels, and there was Hamzaasws with hisasws companions’’. ²⁷⁵

Tafseer Al Qummi – Al Hassan Bin Ali, from his father, from Al hassan Bin Saeed, from Al Husayn Bin Ulwan, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Abady, from Abu Haroun Al Abdy, from Rabie Al Sa’ady, from Huzeyfa Bin Al Yaman,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Mysaww Godazwj Chose three from mysaww family and Isaww am the Chief of the three, and their most pious to Allahazwj, and no pride. Hesaww Chose mesaww and Aliasws and Ja’farasws two sons of Abu Talibasws, and Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws.

كُنَّا رُقُوداً بِالْأَبْطَحِ لَيْسَ مِنَّا إِلَّا مُسَجًّى بِثَوْبِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنْ يَسَارِي وَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ عِنْدَ رِجْلِي فَمَا نَبَّهَنِي عَنْ رَقْدَتِي غَيْرُ حَفِيفِ‏ أَجْنِحَةِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ بَرْدِ ذِرَاعِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي صَدْرِي

We were lying down at Al-Abtah, there wasn’t from us except he was covered with his cloth upon his face. Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws was on mysaww right, and Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws on mysaww left, and Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws by mysaww legs. Nothing awakened mesaww from mysaww sleep apart from the ruffling of the wings of the Angels and the coolness of the forearm of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws in mysaww chest.

فَانْتَبَهْتُ مِنْ رَقْدَتِي وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَمْلَاكٍ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَحَدُ الْأَمْلَاكِ الثَّلَاثَةِ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى أَيِّ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ أُرْسِلْتَ فَرَفَسَنِي‏ بِرِجْلِهِ فَقَالَ إِلَى هَذَا قَالَ وَ مَنْ هَذَا يَسْتَفْهِمُهُ فَقَالَ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّينَ ص وَ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ هَذَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَهُ جَنَاحَانِ خَضِيبَانِ يَطِيرُ بِهِمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ هَذَا حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ ع‏.

Isaww woke up from mysaww sleep, and Jibraeelas was among three Angels. One of the three Angels was saying to himasws: ‘To which of the four are youas sent?’ So, hesaww nudged mesaww with hisas legs and said: ‘To this one’. He said, ‘And who is this one, introduce himsaww’. Heas said: ‘This is Muhammadsaww, chief of the Prophetsas, and this is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws chief of the successorsas, and this is Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws. There are two solid wings for himasws. Heasws will fly with these in the Paradise, and this one is Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws, chief of the martyrs’’.²⁷⁶

Tafseer Al Qummi – In a report of Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws regarding Hisazwj Words: From the Momineen there are men who ratified what they pacted with Allah upon. [33:23] – that they will not flee (from the battlefield), ever, So, from them is one who fulfilled his vow, - i.e., his term, and he is Hamzaasws and Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and from them is one who awaits, - his term, meaning Aliasws. Allahazwj Said: and they did not change with any alteration [33:23] – the Verse’’.²⁷⁸

Tafseer Al-Qummi - Surely, you cannot guide the one you love, [28:56]. He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding Abu Talibsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww used to say: ‘O Uncleasws! Say, ‘There is no god except Allahazwj’, youasws will benefit by it on the Day of Qiyamah’. Heasws said: ‘O sonsaww of a brotherasws! Iasws am more knowing with myself’.

When heasws passed away, Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib testified in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww that heas had spoken with it during the death. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘As for mesaww, Isaww did not hear it from himas, and Isaww hope that it benefits himas on the Day of Qiyamah’.

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَوْ قُمْتُ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ لَشَفَعْتُ فِي أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ عَمِّي وَ أَخٍ كَانَ لِي مُؤَاخِياً فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ.

And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘If Isaww was standing upon the Praiseworthy Position (Maqam Al-Mahmoud), Isaww will intercede regarding mysaww fatheras, and regarding mysaww motheras, and mysaww uncleas and a brother of mine Isaww had established brother-hood with during the pre-Islamic period’’.²⁷⁹

أقول: أخذه القمّيّ من تفاسير العامّة، و هذا مزعمتهم في أبي طالب شيخ الابطح، و اما الشيعة الإماميّة فمجمعون على انه آمن بالنبى صلّى اللّه عليه و آله، و روايات أهل بيت العصمة ناطقة بذلك، و اشعاره مصرحة به.

Note – I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al Qummi has taken it from the Tafseers of the general Muslims, and this is their allegation regarding Abu Talibasws, Sheykh of Al-Abtah, and as for the Imamiya Shias, they are united upon that heasws believed in the Prophetsaww, and the reports of the Peopleasws of the Household speak with that, and hisas poems have acknowledged with it’.

30- فس، تفسير القمي‏ أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى‏ نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ فِي عَلِيٍّ وَ حَمْزَةَ وَ جَعْفَرٍ ثُمَّ جَرَتْ‏.

Tafseer Al Qummi - There is Permission (to fight) for those who are fought against because they are oppressed, and surely Allah is Able upon Helping them [22:39]. He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding Aliasws, and Hamzaasws, and Ja’farasws, then it flows (into others)’’.²⁸⁰

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Ibn Al Waleed, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Sahl, from Al Lului, from Ali Bin Hafs al Isai, from Al Salt Bin Al Ala’a, from Abu Al Hazawwar,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The people are Created from various trees, whereas Isaww and the sonasws of Abu Talibasws are from one tree. Mysaww root is Aliasws and mysaww branch is Ja’farasws’’.²⁸¹

32- كِتَابُ الطُّرَفِ، لِلسَّيِّدِ ابْنِ طَاوُسٍ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ نَقْلًا مِنْ كِتَابِ الْوَصِيَّةِ لِعِيسَى بْنِ الْمُسْتَفَادِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا هَاجَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ حَضَرَ خُرُوجُهُ إِلَى بَدْرٍ دَعَا النَّاسَ إِلَى الْبَيْعَةِ فَبَايَعَ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى السَّمْعِ وَ الطَّاعَةِ وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا خَلَا دَعَا عَلِيّاً فَأَخْبَرَهُ مَنْ يَفِي مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنْ لَا يَفِي وَ يَسْأَلُهُ كِتْمَانَ ذَلِكَ

Kitab Al Tarf of Al Seyyid Ibn Tawoos, copied from Kitab al Wasiya of Isa Bin al Mustafad,

‘From Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘When the Prophetsaww emigrated to Al-Medina and his advent to Badr presented, hesaww called the people to the allegiance. Allahazwj of the pledged their allegiance upon the listening and the obedience; and it was so that whenever Rasool-Allahsaww was alone, hesaww would call Aliasws and inform himasws of the ones who were loyal from them, and the ones who are not loyal, and asked himasws to conceal that.

ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيّاً وَ حَمْزَةَ وَ فَاطِمَةَ ع فَقَالَ لَهُمْ بَايِعُونِي بَيْعَةَ الرِّضَا فَقَالَ حَمْزَةُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي عَلَى مَا نُبَايِعُ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ بَايَعْنَا فَقَالَ يَا أَسَدَ اللَّهِ وَ أَسَدَ رَسُولِهِ تُبَايِعُ لِلَّهِ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ بِالْوَفَاءِ وَ الِاسْتِقَامَةِ لِابْنِ أَخِيكَ إِذَنْ تَسْتَكْمِلَ الْإِيمَانَ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww called Aliasws, and Hamzaasws, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws and said to them: ‘Pledge allegiance to mesaww, the allegiance of being content’. Hamzaasws said, ‘May myasws father and myasws mother be (sacrificed for) yousaww! Upon what are we pledging, haven’t we pledged already?’ Hesaww said: ‘O lion of Allahazwj and lion of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww! Youasws are pledging for Allahazwj and for Hisazwj Rasoolsaww with the loyalty and the standing for the sonsaww of yourasws brotherasws, then the Eman will be complete’.

قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمْعاً وَ طَاعَةً وَ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَدُ اللَّهِ فَوْقَ أَيْدِيكُمْ‏ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ حَمْزَةُ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ جَعْفَرٌ الطَّيَّارُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ فَاطِمَةُ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ السِّبْطَانِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ هَذَا شَرْطٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ أَجْمَعِينَ‏

Heasws said, ‘Yes, Iasws listen and Iasws obey’, and heasws spread out hisasws hand. Hesaww said to them: ‘The Hand of Allahazwj is above your hands. Aliasws Emir of the Momineen, and Hamzaasws chief of the martyrs, and Ja’farasws the flier in the Paradise, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws is chief of the women of the worlds, and the two grandsons Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are chiefs of the youths of the people of Paradise. This is a Stipulation upon the entirety of the Muslims, from the Jinn and the humans altogether.

فَمَنْ نَكَثَ فَإِنَّما يَنْكُثُ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ أَوْفى‏ بِما عاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ فَسَيُؤْتِيهِ أَجْراً عَظِيماً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبايِعُونَكَ إِنَّما يُبايِعُونَ اللَّهَ

So the one who breaks, is rather breaking against himself, and the one who fulfils with what Allah Covenanted upon him, would be Given a Mighty Recompense [48:10]. Then hesaww recited: Surely, those pledging allegiance to you are rather pledging their allegiances to Allah [48:10].

قَالَ وَ لَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي أُصِيبَ حَمْزَةُ فِي يَوْمِهَا دَعَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا حَمْزَةُ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ يُوشِكُ أَنْ تَغِيبَ غَيْبَةً بَعِيدَةً فَمَا تَقُولُ لَوْ وَرَدْتَ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ سَأَلَكَ عَنْ شَرَائِعِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ شُرُوطِ الْإِيمَانِ

Heasws said: ‘And when it was the night in which Hamzaasws was afflicted during its day, Rasool-Allahsaww called himasws and said: ‘O Hamzaasws! O uncleasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! No doubt youasws will be disappearing with a far disappearance. So what are youasws saying, if youasws are referred to Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted and Heazwj Asks youasws about the Laws of Al-Islam and stipulations of the Eman?’

‏ فَبَكَى حَمْزَةُ وَ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَرْشِدْنِي وَ فَهِّمْنِي فَقَالَ يَا حَمْزَةُ تَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصاً وَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِالْحَقِ‏ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ شَهِدْتُ

Hamzaasws cried and said, ‘May myasws father and myasws mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Guide measws and make measws understand’. Hesaww said: ‘O Hamzaasws! Testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, sincerely, and Isaww am Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj the Exalted (Sent) with the Truth’. Hamzaasws said: ‘Iasws have testified’.

قَالَ وَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ النَّارَ حَقٌ‏ وَ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّ الصِّرَاطَ حَقٌّ وَ الْمِيزَانَ حَقٌّ وَ مَنْ‏ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْراً يَرَهُ وَ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ‏ وَ فَرِيقٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ فَرِيقٌ فِي السَّعِيرِ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Hesaww said: ‘And the Paradise is true, and the Fire is true, Surely, the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, [40:59], and that the Bridge is true, and the Scale is true, and one who does good of the weight of a particle would see it [99:7] And one who does evil of the weight of a particle would see it [9:8], and A party would be in the Paradise, and a party would be in the inferno (Fire) [42:7], and that Aliasws is Emir of the Momineen’.

قَالَ حَمْزَةُ شَهِدْتُ وَ أَقْرَرْتُ وَ آمَنْتُ وَ صَدَّقْتُ وَ قَالَ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ الْإِمَامَةَ فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ‏ قَالَ حَمْزَةُ آمَنْتُ وَ صَدَّقْتُ

Hamzaasws said, ‘Iasws testify and acknowledged and believe and ratify’. And hesaww said: ‘The Imamsasws from hisasws offspring Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and the Imamate in hisasws offspring’. Hamzaasws said, ‘Iasws believe, and ratify’.

وَ قَالَ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ صَدَّقْتُ وَ قَالَ حَمْزَةَ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ أَسَدُ اللَّهِ وَ أَسَدُ رَسُولِهِ وَ عَمُّ نَبِيِّهِ فَبَكَى حَمْزَةُ حَتَّى سَقَطَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ جَعَلَ يُقَبِّلُ عَيْنَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

And (Syeda) Fatimaasws is chieftess of the women of the worlds’. Heasws said, ‘Iasws ratify’. And hesaww said: ‘Hamzaasws is chief of the martyrs and lion of Allahazwj and lion of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and uncleasws of Hisazwj Prophetsaww’. Hamzaasws cried until heasws fell down upon hisasws face and went on to kiss the eyes of Rasool-Allahsaww’.

وَ قَالَ جعفر [جَعْفَراً] ابْنَ أَخِيكَ طَيَّارٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَهُ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ تُؤْمِنُ يَا حَمْزَةُ بِسِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ ظَاهِرِهِمْ وَ بَاطِنِهِمْ وَ تَحْيَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ تَمُوتُ تُوَالِي مَنْ وَالاهُمْ وَ تُعَادِي مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ

And hesaww said: ‘Ja’farasws sonasws of yourasws brotherasws is a flier in the Paradise along with the Angels, and that Muhammadsaww and hissaww familyasws are the best of created beings. Do youasws believe, O Hamzaasws in theirasws secrets, and theirasws apparent, and theirasws hidden, and youasws will live upon that and die (upon that). Youasws will befriend the one who befriends themasws and be inimical to the ones who are inimical to themasws’.

قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكَ‏ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏ ص سَدَّدَكَ اللَّهُ وَ وَفَّقَكَ‏.

Heasws said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Iasws Keep Allahazwj as Witness, and keep yousaww as witness, and suffice with Allahazwj as Witness’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘May Allahazwj Protect youasws and Harmonise youasws’’.²⁸²

‘I heard Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiya saying, ‘There are six qualities among us which did not happen to be in anyone from the ones before us, and will not happen to be in anyone after us. From us is Muhammadsaww chief of the Messengersas, and Aliasws chief of the successorsas, and Hamzaasws chief of the martyrs, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws chiefs of the youth of the people of the Paradise, and Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws, the one adorned with the two wings flying by these in the Paradise wherever heasws so desires to, and Mahdiasws of this community behind whom Isaas Bin Maryamas will be praying Salat’’.²⁸³

(The books) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ (and) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – Among the argumentations of Amir Al-Momineenasws against the people of the consultation council: ‘We adjure you all with Allahazwj! Is there anyone among you who has a brother for him like myasws brother Ja’farasws, the one adorned with the two wings in the Paradise, travelling in it wherever heasws so desires, apart from measws?’ They said, ‘O Allahazwj! No’.

Heasws said: ‘We adjure you all with Allahazwj! Is there anyone among you who has an uncle for him like myasws uncle Hamzaasws, lion of Allahazwj and lion of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and chief of the martyrs, apart from measws?’ They said, ‘O Allahazwj, no’’.²⁸⁴

Tafseer Al-Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘On the Day of Qiyamah, would be seen multitudes of people – none recognising their number except for Allahazwj the Exalted – they would be those that love Hamzaasws; and most of them would be committers of sins and misdeeds. The walls of the Fire would be transformed between them and the path of the Bridge – the crossing to the Paradise, and they would be saying, ‘O Hamzaasws! Youasws can see what (predicament) we are in’.

فَيَقُولُ حَمْزَةُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَدْ تَرَيَانِ أَوْلِيَائِي يَسْتَغِيثُونَ بِي فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ ع يَا عَلِيُّ أَعِنْ عَمَّكَ عَلَى إِغَاثَةِ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ اسْتِنْقَاذِهِمْ مِنَ النَّارِ

Hamzaasws would be saying to Rasool-Allahsaww and to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, ‘Yousaww have both seen myasws friends how they are seeking help with measws!’ Muhammadsaww, Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj would be saying to Aliasws, Guardianasws of Allahazwj: ‘O Aliasws! Assist yourasws uncleasws upon the cries of help of hisasws friends and save them from the Fire’.

Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws would come with the spear which Hamzaasws used to fight the enemies of Allahazwj the Exalted with in the world, and heasws would give it to himasws and would be saying: ‘O uncle of Rasool-Allahsaww, and uncle of the brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww!

Then Hamzaasws would take the spear in hisasws hand, and heasws would place its end in the walls of the Fire forming a barrier between hisasws friends and their crossing to the Paradise upon the Bridge, and heasws would repel it to a distance - a travel distance of five hundred years. Then heasws would be saying to hisasws friends, and those that used to love himasws in the world, ‘Cross over!’ So they would be crossing over the Bridge, securely, safely, and the Fires would have been removed from them and its horrors would be distanced from them, and they would be arriving to the Paradise, victorious, successful’’.²⁸⁷

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Al Husayn Bin Ulwan Al Kalby, from Ali Bin Al Hazawwar Al Ghanwy, from Asbagh Bin Nubata Al Hamzala who said,

‘I saw Amir Al-Momineenasws on the day heasws was victorious over Al-Basra and rode the mule of Rasool-Allahsaww, then said: ‘O you people! Shall Iasws inform you with the nest of the creature on the Day Allahazwj would Gather them?’ Abu Ayoub Al-Ansary stood up to himasws and said, ‘Yes, O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Narrate to us, for youasws were present and we were absent’. Heasws said: ‘The best of the creatures on the Day Allahazwj would Gather them, are seven from the sons of Abdul Muttalib. None will deny their merits except for a Kafir, nor would anyone reject it except for a renegade’.

فَقَامَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَمِّهِمْ لَنَا لِنَعْرِفَهُمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ خَيْرَ الْخَلْقِ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُهُمُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلُ وَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الرُّسُلِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ كُلِّ أُمَّةٍ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا وَصِيُّ نَبِيِّهَا حَتَّى يُدْرِكَهُ نَبِيٌّ

Ammar Bin Yasir, may Allahazwj have Mercy on him stood up and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Name them for us in order for us to recognise them’. So heasws said: ‘The best of the creatures on the Day Allahazwj would Gather them are the Rasoolsas, and that the most superior of the Rasoolsas is Muhammadsaww, and that the most superior of every community after its Prophetsaww is the successoras of its Prophetas, until heas comes across a (another) Prophetas.

Indeed! And the most superior of the successorsas is the successorasws of Muhammadsaww, may the greetings be upon himsaww and hissaww Progenyasws. Indeed! And the most superior of the creatures after the successorsas are the martyrs. Indeed! And the most superior of the martyrs is Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws, and Ja’farasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

لَهُ جَنَاحَانِ خَضِيبَانِ يَطِيرُ بِهِمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَمْ يُنْحَلْ‏ أَحَدٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَمَةِ جناحان [جَنَاحَيْنِ‏] غَيْرُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مُحَمَّداً ص وَ شَرَّفَهُ وَ السِّبْطَانِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ الْمَهْدِيُّ ع يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ مَنْ شَاءَ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

For himasws (Ja’farasws) are two fixed wings. Heasws flies with these two in the Paradise. No one from this community has been Granted two wings apart from himasws. It is a thing which Allahazwj Prestige Muhammadsaww with, and Ennobled himsaww, and the two grandsons Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and Al-Mahdiasws. Allahazwj would Make himasws to be the one whomsoever Allahazwj so Desires from usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household’.

ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَ مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَ الرَّسُولَ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً ذلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ عَلِيماً.

Then heasws recited this Verse [4:69] And whoever obeys Allah and the Rasool, 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! [4:70] That is the Grace from Allah, and Sufficient is Allah as the Knower’’.²⁹¹

Abu Umar said, ‘And the reason of what was that the land had dried with severe drying in the ear of Umar in the year seventeen.

فَقَالَ كَعْبٌ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانُوا إِذَا قُحِطُوا وَ أَصَابَهُمْ مِثْلُ هَذَا اسْتَسْقَوْا بِعَصَبَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ هَذَا عَمُّ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ صِنْوُ أَبِيهِ وَ سَيِّدُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَمَضَى إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مَا فِيهِ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَ مَعَهُ الْعَبَّاسُ

Ka’ab said, ‘When the children of Israel had drought and they were afflicted with the like of this, they prayed for rain with a party of the Prophetsas’. Umar said, ‘This is an uncle of the Prophetsaww, and a match of hissaww fatheras, and chief of the Clan of Hashimas’. So Umar went to him and complained to him what the people were in. Then he ascended the pulpit and Al-Abbas was with him.

فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا قَدْ تَوَجَّهْنَا إِلَيْكَ بِعَمِّ نَبِيِّنَا وَ صِنْوِ أَبِيهِ فَاسْقِنَا الْغَيْثَ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْقَانِطِينَ

He said, ‘O Allahazwj! We have diverted to you an uncle of our Prophetsaww and a match (just like) hissaww fatheras, so bring us the rain and do not make us to be from the despairing ones’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ قُمْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ فَقَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ بَعْدَ حَمْدِ اللَّهِ وَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عِنْدَكَ سَحَاباً وَ عِنْدَكَ مَاءً فَانْشُرِ السَّحَابَ ثُمَّ أَنْزِلِ الْمَاءَ مِنْهُ عَلَيْنَا فَاشْدُدْ بِهِ الْأَصْلَ وَ أَطِلْ بِهِ الْفَرْعَ وَ أَدِرَّ بِهِ الضَّرْعَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ لَمْ تُنْزِلْ بَلَاءً إِلَّا بِذَنْبٍ وَ لَمْ تَكْشِفْهُ إِلَّا بِتَوْبَةٍ وَ قَدْ تَوَجَّهَ الْقَوْمُ بِي إِلَيْكَ فَاسْقِنَا الْغَيْثَ

Then he said, ‘O Abu Al Fazl! Arise and supplicate to Allahazwj!’ Al Abbas stood up and said after having praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, ‘O Allahazwj! The clouds are with Youazwj and water is with Youazwj. So, Spread out, then Send down the water from it upon us, and strengthen the roots by it, and prolong the branches by it, and fill the udders (of animals) by it. O Allahazwj! Youazwj do not Send a calamity except due to sins and do not Remove it except by repentance, and the people have diverted to Youazwj through me, so Quench us the rain.

O Allahazwj! Intercede for us regarding ourselves and our families. O Allahazwj! Interceded for the ones from our animals who cannot speak and our cattle. O Allahazwj! Quench us by Quenching our valleys, beneficial, consecutive rain, generally. O Allahazwj! We do not hope except in Youazwj, nor do we call upon except Youazwj, nor are we desirous except to Youazwj.

اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ نَشْكُو جُوعَ كُلِّ جَائِعٍ وَ عُرْيَ كُلِّ عَارٍ وَ خَوْفَ كُلِّ خَائِفٍ وَ ضَعْفَ كُلِّ ضَعِيفٍ فِي دُعَاءٍ كَثِيرٍ

O Allahazwj! We complain to Youazwj of the hunger of every hungry one, and nakedness of every naked one, and fear of every fearful one, and weakness of every weak one in many supplications’.

(The book) ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’ – ‘It is reported that Jibraeelas descended unto Rasool-Allahsaww and there was a black cloak upon himas, and a belt wherein was a knife. Hesaww said: ‘O Jibraeelas! What is this uniform?’ Heas said: ‘Uniform of the children of yoursaww uncle Al-Abbas’.

فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا عَمِّ وَيْلٌ لِوُلْدِي مِنْ وُلْدِكَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ فَأَجُبُّ نَفْسِي قَالَ‏ جَرَى الْقَلَمُ بِمَا فِيهِ‏.

The Prophetsaww went out to Al-Abbas and said: ‘O Uncle! Woe would be for mysaww children from your children!’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Shall I castrate myself?’ Hesaww said: ‘The Pen has flowed with what is regarding it’’.³¹⁴

Kitab Al Turf of the Seyyid ali Bin Tawus, copying from Kitab Al Wasiya of Isa Bin Al Mustafad who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww called Al-Abbas during hisra death and was along with himra, and said to himra: ‘O Abu Al fazl! Know that from the Argumentations of mysaww Lordazwj upon mesaww (on the Day of Qiyamah) would be whether Isaww have delivered to the people generally and mysaww family in particular about the Wilayah of Aliasws. So, the one who likes, let him believe and one who (does not) like, let him disbelieve.

يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ جَدِّدْ لِلْإِسْلَامِ عَهْداً وَ مِيثَاقاً وَ سَلِّمْ لِوَلِيِّ الْأَمْرِ إِمْرَتَهُ وَ لَا تَكُنْ كَمَنْ يُعْطِي بِلِسَانِهِ وَ يَكْفُرُ بِقَلْبِهِ يُشَاقُّنِي فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ وَ يَسْتَأْمِرُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ يَتَسَلَّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ لِيُذِلَّ قَوْماً أَعَزَّهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ لِيُعِزَّ قَوْماً لَمْ يَبْلُغُوا وَ لَا يَبْلُغُونَ مَا مَدُّوا إِلَيْهِ أَعْيُنَهُمْ

O Abu Al Fazl! Renew the pact and covenant for Al-Islam to the Guardian of the command of hisasws emirate, and do not become like the one who obeys with his tongues and disbelieves with his heart troubling mesaww regarding the Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and putting them (others) forward plotting against themasws and overcoming upon themasws in order to humiliate a people whom Allahazwj has Honoured, and in order to honour a people (Allahazwj has Humiliated). Neither will they reach, nor would they be reaching what they are stretching their eyes to.

يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ إِنَّ رَبِّي عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ عَهْداً أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُبَلِّغَهُ الشَّاهِدَ مِنَ الْإِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ وَ أَنْ آمُرَ شَاهِدَهُمْ أَنْ يُبَلِّغُوا غَائِبَهُمْ

O Abu Al Fazal! Mysaww Lordazwj Pacted a pact to mesaww Commanding mesaww and Isaww should deliver to the ones present, from the human being and the Jinn, and that Isaww should order their present ones to deliver to their absent ones.

فَمَنْ صَدَّقَ عَلِيّاً وَ وَازَرَهُ وَ أَطَاعَهُ وَ نَصَرَهُ وَ قَبِلَهُ وَ أَدَّى مَا عَلَيْهِ‏ مِنَ الْفَرَائِضِ‏ لِلَّهِ فَقَدْ بَلَغَ حَقِيقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَنْ أَبَى الْفَرَائِضَ فَقَدْ أَحْبَطَ اللَّهُ عَمَلَهُ حَتَّى يَلْقَى اللَّهَ وَ لَا حُجَّةَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ

So, the one who ratifies Aliasws and backs himasws and obeys himasws and helps himasws and accepts himasws and fulfils what is upon him from the Obligations of Allahazwj, so he has reached the reality of the Eman, and one who refuses the Obligations so Allahazwj has Confiscated his deeds until he meets Allahazwj and there would be no argument for him in Hisazwj Presence.

يَا أَبَا الْفَضْلِ فَمَا أَنْتَ قَائِلٌ قَالَ قَبِلْتُ مِنْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ آمَنْتُ بِمَا جِئْتَ بِهِ وَ صَدَّقْتُ وَ سَلَّمْتُ فَاشْهَدْ عَلَيَ‏.

O Abu Al-Fazl! So, what are you saying?’ He said, ‘I accept from yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww, and believe in whatever yousaww have come with, and ratify and submit, so bear witness upon me’’.³¹⁵

CHAPTER 6 – MISCELLANEOUS REGARDING THE STORY OF HISsaww FRIENDS BEFORE THE PROPHET-HOOD

1- ب، قرب الإسناد السِّنْدِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ الْجَمَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى رَجُلٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَكْرَمَهُ فَلَمَّا بُعِثَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص قِيلَ لَهُ يَا فُلَانُ مَا تَدْرِي مَنْ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ قَالَ لَا قَالُوا هَذَا الَّذِي نَزَلَ بِكَ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَكْرَمْتَهُ فَأَكَلَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – ‘Al Sindy Bin Muhammad, from Safwan Al Jammal,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww descended (as a guest) to a man during the pre-Islamic period, and he honoured himsaww. When Muhammadsaww was Sent, it was said to him, ‘O so and so! What do you know of this Prophetsaww, the Sent one?’ He said, ‘No (nothing)’. They said, ‘This is the one who descended (as a guest) with you on such and such day and you honoured himsaww, and hesaww ate such and such’.

فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَعْرِفُنِي فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا الَّذِي نَزَلْتَ بِي يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَطْعَمْتُكَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً بِكَ سَلْنِي قَالَ ثَمَانِينَ ضَائِنَةً بِرُعَاتِهَا

He went out until he came to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Do yousaww recognise me?’ Hesaww said: ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am the one yousaww descended with on such and such day in such and such place, and I fed yousaww such and such’. Hesaww said: ‘Welcome to you! Ask mesaww’. He said, ‘Eighty lambs with their pasture’.

فَأَطْرَقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سَاعَةً ثُمَّ أَمَرَ لَهُ بِمَا سَأَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ مَا كَانَ عَلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ سُؤَالَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي‏ إِسْرَائِيلَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ وَ مَا سُؤَالُ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ‏

Rasool-Allahsaww lowered hissaww head for a while, then ordered for him with what he had asked, then said to a people, ‘What was upon this man that he did not ask the demand of the old man of the children of Israel?’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And what is the demand of the (old man of) children of Israel?’

قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَوْحَى إِلَى مُوسَى ع أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عِظَامَ يُوسُفَ ع فَسَأَلَ عَنْ قَبْرِهِ فَجَاءَهُ شَيْخٌ فَقَالَ إِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَعْلَمُ فَفُلَانَةُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهَا فَجَاءَتْ فَقَالَ أَ تَعْلَمِينَ مَوْضِعَ قَبْرِ يُوسُفَ فَقَالَتْ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَدُلِّينِي عَلَيْهِ وَ لَكِ الْجَنَّةُ

Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed to Musaas to carry the bones of Yusufas. So, heas asked (the whereabouts) of hisas grave. Heas came to an old man. He said, ‘If there is anyone who knows, it is so and so woman’. Heas sent for her, and she came. Heas said: ‘Do you know the place of the grave of Yusufas?’ She said, ‘Yes’. Hesaww said: ‘Point upon it to meas and the Paradise would be for you’.

قَالَتْ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ تُحَكِّمَنِي قَالَ وَ لَكِ الْجَنَّةُ قَالَتْ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تُحَكِّمَنِي

She said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, I will not point upon it unless if youas give me the decision (of what would be for me)’. Heas said: ‘And for you would be the Paradise’. She said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, I will not point upon it until youas give me the decision’.

قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ مَا يَعْظُمُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُحَكِّمَهَا قَالَ فَلَكِ حُكْمُكِ قَالَتْ أَحْكُمُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ فِي دَرَجَتِكَ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِيهَا

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed to himas: “What is so bulky upon youas if youas were to give her the decision?”. Heas said: ‘The decision is for you’. She said, ‘I decide upon youas that I should happen to be with youas in youras ranks which youas happen to be in’.

قَالَ ص فَمَا كَانَ عَلَى هَذَا أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي أَنْ يَكُونَ مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ.

Hesaww said: ‘So what was upon this (man) that he did not ask mesaww to become with mesaww in the Paradise?’’.³¹⁶

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Musa Bin Ja’far Al Baghdady, from Ubeydullah Bin Abdullah, from Wasil Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Sinan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having: ‘There used to be for the Prophetsaww, a social contact during the pre-Islamic period. When hesaww was Sent (Declared hissaww Prophet-hood), hissaww social contact met himsaww. He said to the Prophetsaww, ‘May Allahazwj Recompense yousaww with goodness, because as a compassion yousaww agreed and did not argue’. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘And you, may Allahazwj Recompense you with goodness, from a social contact, for you never rejected a profit nor did you grit your teeth (be harsh)’’.³¹⁸

Al Kafi – The number, from Sahl, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad both together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ameyra, from Al Hazramy

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘During the pre-Islamic period the Arabs were upon two sects – Al Hull and Al Hums. Al Hums were Quraysh and Al Hull were the rest of the Arabs. There did not happen to be anyone from Al Hull except and for him was an Ihraam for him from Al Hums, and one who did not happen to have an Ihraam from Al Hums did not leave performing Tawaaf of the House (Kabah) except naked.

وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَرَمِيّاً لِعِيَاضِ بْنِ حِمَارٍ الْمُجَاشِعِيِّ وَ كَانَ عِيَاضٌ رَجُلًا عَظِيمَ الْخَطَرِ وَ كَانَ قَاضِياً لِأَهْلِ عُكَاظٍ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَكَانَ عِيَاضٌ إِذَا دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ أَلْقَى عَنْهُ ثِيَابَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الرَّجَاسَةِ وَ أَخَذَ ثِيَابَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لِطُهْرِهَا فَلَبِسَهَا فَطَافَ‏ بِالْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ يَرُدُّهَا عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ طَوَافِهِ

And Rasool-Allahsaww had an Ihraam for Ayaz Bin Himar Al-Mujashie, and Ayaz was a man of large body, and he was a judge of the people of Ukaz during the pre-Islamic period, and it was so that whenever Ayaz would enter Makkah, he would cast off his clothes of sins and filth, and take the clothes of Rasool-Allahsaww and wear it. Then he would perform Tawaaf of the House (Kabah), then return them to himsaww when he was free from hissaww Tawaaf.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ ظَهَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَتَاهُ عِيَاضٌ بِهَدِيَّةٍ فَأَبَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَقْبَلَهَا وَ قَالَ يَا عِيَاضُ لَوْ أَسْلَمْتَ لَقَبِلْتُ هَدِيَّتَكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَبَى لِي زَبْدَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ عِيَاضاً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَسْلَمَ وَ حَسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُ فَأَهْدَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص هَدِيَّةً فَقَبِلَهَا مِنْهُ‏.

When Rasool-Allahsaww appeared, Ayaz came to himsaww with a gift, but Rasool-Allahsaww refused to accept it and said: ‘O Ayaz! If you had become a Muslim, I would have accepted your gift. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Refused mesaww the scum of the Polytheists’. Then after that, Ayaz became a Muslim and his Islam was good, and he gifted a gift to Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww accepted it from him’’.³¹⁹

(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al-Rawandy – ‘From Amir Al-Momineenasws having said: ‘The Prophetsaww was such that whenever hesaww was asked anything and hesaww intended to do it, would say, ‘Yes’, and when hesaww intended not to do it, would be silent, and hesaww was not saying ‘no’ to anything.

فَأَتَاهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَسَأَلَهُ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَسَكَتَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ ص كَهَيْئَةِ الْمُسْتَرْسِلِ مَا شِئْتَ يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ فَقُلْنَا الْآنَ يَسْأَلُ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَسْأَلُكَ نَاقَةً وَ رَحْلَهَا وَ زَاداً قَالَ لَكَ ذَلِكَ

A Bedouin came to himsaww and asked himsaww, and hesaww was silent. Then he asked himsaww (again), and hesaww was silent. Then he asked himsaww (again), and hesaww was silent. Hesaww said: ‘Like the relaxed body, whatever you like, O Bedouin. Wesaww say: ‘Now he will ask for the Paradise’’. The Bedouin said, ‘I ask you for a camel and its saddle and provision’. Hesaww said: ‘That will be for you’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ص كَمْ بَيْنَ مَسْأَلَةِ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ وَ عَجُوزِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ مُوسَى لَمَّا أُمِرَ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ الْبَحْرَ.

Then hesaww said: ‘How much (remoteness) is between the asking of the Bedouin and the old woman of the children of Israel’. Then hesaww said: ‘When Musaas ordered, the sea was cut for himas’’.³²⁰

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad,

‘From Abu Al-Hassanasws the 2nd, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked himasws from the seven orchards which were an inheritance of Rasool-Allahsaww for (Syeda) Fatimaasws. Heasws said: ‘But rather these were dedicated (Waqf). They used to take from it to Rasool-Allahsaww what hesaww was spending upon hissaww guests, and the caretaker used to live therein.

When hesaww passed away, Al-Abbas came contending (Syeda) Fatimaasws, so Aliasws and others testified that it is dedicated (Waqf) to Fatimaasws, and these are – Al Dallal, and Al Awaf, and Al Hasna, and Al Safiya, and what was for Umm Ibrahimas, and Al Meeshab, and Al Burqat’’.³²⁶

باب 8 فضل المهاجرين و الأنصار و سائر الصحابة و التابعين و جمل أحوالهم‏

CHAPTER 8 – MERITS OF THE EMIGRANTS AND THE HELPERS, AND THE REST OF THE COMPANIONS, AND THE TABIUN, AND A SUMMARY OF THEIR STATES

الآيات البقرة إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ الَّذِينَ هاجَرُوا وَ جاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أُولئِكَ يَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ‏

The Verses – (Surah) Al Baqarah: Those who believed and those who emigrated and fought in the Way of Allah, they are hoping for the Mercy of Allah; and Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [2:218]

آل عمران‏ فَالَّذِينَ هاجَرُوا وَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ وَ أُوذُوا فِي سَبِيلِي وَ قاتَلُوا وَ قُتِلُوا لَأُكَفِّرَنَّ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ وَ لَأُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهارُ ثَواباً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَهُ حُسْنُ الثَّوابِ‏

(Surah) Aal-e-Imraan: so those who emigrated and were expelled from their homes and were persecuted in My Way and they fought and were killed, I will Cover their evils deeds from them and will Enter them into Gardens beneath which the rivers flow, as a Reward from the Presence of Allah; and Allah, with Him is the excellent Reward [3:195]

التوبة وَ السَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصارِ وَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِإِحْسانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ رَضُوا عَنْهُ وَ أَعَدَّ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي تَحْتَهَا الْأَنْهارُ خالِدِينَ فِيها أَبَداً ذلِكَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ‏

(Surah) Al Tawbah: And the foremost, the first ones from the Emigrants and the Helpers, and those who followed them with goodness, Allah is Pleased from them and they are pleased from Him, and He has Prepared Gardens for them beneath which the rivers flow wherein they shall abide eternally, that is the Mighty achievement [9:100]

الفتح‏ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَماءُ بَيْنَهُمْ تَراهُمْ رُكَّعاً سُجَّداً يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ رِضْواناً سِيماهُمْ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ مِنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ ذلِكَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِي التَّوْراةِ وَ مَثَلُهُمْ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ كَزَرْعٍ أَخْرَجَ شَطْأَهُ فَآزَرَهُ فَاسْتَغْلَظَ فَاسْتَوى‏ عَلى‏ سُوقِهِ يُعْجِبُ الزُّرَّاعَ لِيَغِيظَ بِهِمُ الْكُفَّارَ وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ مِنْهُمْ مَغْفِرَةً وَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً

(Surah) Al Fat’h: Muhammad is a Rasool of Allah, and those with him are hard upon the Kafirs, merciful between themselves. You will see them in Ruku and Sajdah seeking Grace and Pleasure from Allah. Their marks are in their faces from the effects of the Sajdahs. That is their example in the Torah.

And their example in the Evanjel is like a plant whose shoot comes out. So it strengthens and thickens, and stands even upon its stem, fascinating the planters, in order to enrage the Kafirs by them.

Allah Promised those from them who believe and do the righteous deeds, Forgiveness and a Mighty Recompense [48:29]

الحشر لِلْفُقَراءِ الْمُهاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ وَ أَمْوالِهِمْ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلًا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ رِضْواناً وَ يَنْصُرُونَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ

(Surah) Al Hashr: (It is) for the poor (from the) emigrants, those who went out from their homes and their wealth seeking Grace from Allah and Pleasure, and they are helping Allah and His Rasool. Those, they are the truthful [59:8]

وَ الَّذِينَ تَبَوَّؤُا الدَّارَ وَ الْإِيمانَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ يُحِبُّونَ مَنْ هاجَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ لا يَجِدُونَ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ حاجَةً مِمَّا أُوتُوا وَ يُؤْثِرُونَ عَلى‏ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ لَوْ كانَ بِهِمْ خَصاصَةٌ وَ مَنْ يُوقَ شُحَّ نَفْسِهِ فَأُولئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

And those who had the home (in Al-Medina), and had the Eman from before them, are loving the ones who emigrate to them, and they are not finding any need in their chests from what they give, and they are preferring (others) over their own selves, and even though there was extreme poverty with them. And one who preserves himself from stinginess, so those, they are the successful ones [59:9]

وَ الَّذِينَ جاؤُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ لِإِخْوانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونا بِالْإِيمانِ وَ لا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ‏

And those who come after them are saying, ‘Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who preceded us with the Eman, and do not Make a grudge to be in our hearts towards those who are believing! Our Lord, You are Kind, Merciful [59:10].

There were not seen to be among them any Qadirite, nor Murjite, nor Haruriya, nor Mu’tazily, nor opiners. They were crying night and day and saying, ‘May our souls be captured from before we eat ‘Al-Khameer’ bread’’.

ما رواه العامة عن النبي ص‏ لا آكل الخمير.

Then heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! A people had made a pact in the era of myasws friend Rasool-Allahsaww, and they were unkempt in the morning and evening, dusty, emptiness between their eyes like the riding goat, staying awake at night in Sajdah and standing to their Lordazwj, rotating between their feet and their foreheads, whispering to their Lordazwj and asking Himazwj to Free their necks from the Fire.

And what there does not happen to be a Sunnah from mesaww in it, so whatever mysaww companions are saying with. But rather, an example of mysaww companions among you is like an example of the stars. Whichever of them you take with, you will be guided, and whichever words of mysaww companions you take with, you will be guided, and the differing of mysaww companions is a Mercy for you all’.

فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ أَصْحَابُكَ قَالَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي.

It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And who are yoursaww companions?’ Hesaww said: ‘The Peopleasws of mysaww Household’’.³³⁴

قال الصدوق رحمه الله إن أهل البيت ع لا يختلفون و لكن يفتون الشيعة بمر الحق و ربما أفتوهم‏ بالتقية فما يختلف من قولهم فهو للتقية و التقية رحمة للشيعة.

Note – Al-Sadouq said, ‘The Peopleasws of the Household do not differ, but they issue verdicts to the Shias with the bitter truth, and sometimes theyasws issue verdicts to them in the Taqiyyah (dissimulation). So, whatever differences there are from theirasws words, it is due to the Taqiyyah, and the Taqiyyah is a Mercy for the Shias’.

9- كا، الكافي عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الزُّبَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ لِلْإِيمَانِ دَرَجَاتٍ وَ مَنَازِلَ يَتَفَاضَلُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فِيهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ صِفْهُ لِي رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى أَفْهَمَهُ

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Al Qasim Bin Bureyd, from Abu Amro Al Zubeyri,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘Are there for the Emān, levels and status the Momins can have superiority regarding these in the Presence of Allahazwj?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘Describe it to me, may Allahazwj Have Mercy on youasws, until I understand it’.

قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَبَّقَ بَيْنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَمَا يُسَبَّقُ بَيْنَ الْخَيْلِ يَوْمَ الرِّهَانِ ثُمَّ فَضَّلَهُمْ عَلَى دَرَجَاتِهِمْ فِي السَّبْقِ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ كُلَّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى دَرَجَةِ سَبْقِهِ لَا يَنْقُصُهُ فِيهَا مِنْ حَقِّهِ وَ لَا يَتَقَدَّمُ مَسْبُوقٌ سَابِقاً وَ لَا مَفْضُولٌ فَاضِلًا

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Made a race to be between the Momineen just as there is a race between the cavalry horses on the day of the contest. Then Heazwj Preferred them upon their levels in their race to Himazwj. Heazwj Made every person from them upon a Level of his race, not Reducing him from his right, nor does the one lagging behind precede the preceding one, nor does the inferior (precede the) preceding one.

تَفَاضَلَ بِذَلِكَ أَوَائِلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَوَاخِرَهَا وَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلسَّابِقِ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَضْلٌ عَلَى الْمَسْبُوقِ إِذاً لَلَحِقَ آخِرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَوَّلَهَا نَعَمْ وَ لَتَقَدَّمُوهُمْ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِمَنْ سَبَقَ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ الْفَضْلُ عَلَى مَنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهُ

The first ones and the end ones of this community are preferred by that, and had there not been a superiority for the preceding ones to the Emān over the ones lagging behind, then end ones of this community would certainly catch-up with its earlier ones and be in front of them. When there does not happen to be the superiority for the ones who preceded to the Emān, over the ones who were slower to (embrace) it.

وَ لَكِنْ بِدَرَجَاتِ الْإِيمَانِ قَدَّمَ اللَّهُ السَّابِقِينَ وَ بِالْإِبْطَاءِ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ أَخَّرَ اللَّهُ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ لِأَنَّا نَجِدُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الْآخِرِينَ مَنْ هُوَ أَكْثَرُ عَمَلًا مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ صَلَاةً وَ صَوْماً وَ حَجّاً وَ زَكَاةً وَ جِهَاداً وَ إِنْفَاقاً وَ لَوْ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَوَابِقُ يَفْضُلُ بِهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَانَ الْآخِرُونَ بِكَثْرَةِ الْعَمَلِ مُقَدَّمِينَ عَلَى الْأَوَّلِينَ

But it is by the levels of the Emān that Allahazwj Brings forward the preceding ones to the Emān than the sluggish ones. Allahazwj Delays the deficient ones, because we tend to find from the Momin from the later ones, the one who is more with respect to deeds than the former ones, and more in (performing) Salāt, and Soām, and Hajj, and Zakāt, and Jihād, and spending (on charity); and if the preceding did not happen to be the (criteria of determining the) superiority of the Momin with, some of them with the others in the Presence of Allahazwj, it would be that the later ones, due to the frequency of their deeds would be preceding (them) upon the former ones.

وَ لَكِنْ أَبَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ آخِرُ دَرَجَاتِ الْإِيمَانِ أَوَّلَهَا وَ يُقَدَّمَ فِيهَا مَنْ أَخَّرَ اللَّهُ أَوْ يُؤَخَّرَ فِيهَا مَنْ قَدَّمَ اللَّهُ

But, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Refused that the ones at the end of the levels of the Emān should come to its first ones, and in it the one whom Allahazwj had Delayed should precede, or he should be delayed in it the one whom Allahazwj has Made to precede.

قُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّا نَدَبَ اللَّهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الِاسْتِبَاقِ إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ فَقَالَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ سابِقُوا إِلى‏ مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ جَنَّةٍ عَرْضُها كَعَرْضِ السَّماءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ أُعِدَّتْ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ أُولئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ‏

I said, ‘Inform me about what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Accredited the Momineen to, from the preceding to the Emān’. Heasws said: ‘The Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: Race towards Forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden the expanse of it is like the expanse of the sky and the earth, Prepared for those who are believing in Allah and His Rasools. [57:21]. And Heazwj Said: And the foremost are the foremost [56:10] These are the ones of proximity [56:11].

وَ قَالَ‏ السَّابِقُونَ الْأَوَّلُونَ مِنَ الْمُهاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصارِ وَ الَّذِينَ اتَّبَعُوهُمْ بِإِحْسانٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَ رَضُوا عَنْهُ‏ فَبَدَأَ بِالْمُهَاجِرِينَ الْأَوَّلِينَ عَلَى دَرَجَةِ سَبْقِهِمْ ثُمَّ ثَنَّى بِالْأَنْصَارِ ثُمَّ ثَلَّثَ بِالتَّابِعِينَ لَهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ فَوَضَعَ كُلَّ قَوْمٍ عَلَى قَدْرِ دَرَجَاتِهِمْ وَ مَنَازِلِهِمْ عِنْدَهُ

And the foremost, the first ones from the Emigrants and the Helpers, and those who followed them with goodness, Allah is Pleased from them and they are pleased from Him, [9:100]. Heazwj Began with the Emigrants, the first ones, upon a level of their preceding, then secondly with the Helpers, then thirdly with the followers of their with goodness. Thus Heazwj Placed each group upon a measurement of their levels and their status in Hisazwj Presence.

ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ مَا فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَقَالَ‏ تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلى‏ بَعْضٍ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ وَ رَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ‏ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ‏ دَرَجاتٍ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ

Then Heazwj Mentioned what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Preferred Hisazwj Guardians with, some of them over the others, so the Mighty and Majestic Said: Those Rasools, We Merited some of them over the others – from them was one to whom Allah Spoke (with), and some of them – above others, He Raised their ranks. [2:253] – up to the end of the Verse.

وَ قَالَ‏ وَ لَقَدْ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَ النَّبِيِّينَ عَلى‏ بَعْضٍ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ انْظُرْ كَيْفَ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلى‏ بَعْضٍ وَ لَلْآخِرَةُ أَكْبَرُ دَرَجاتٍ وَ أَكْبَرُ تَفْضِيلًا وَ قَالَ‏ هُمْ دَرَجاتٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ وَ يُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِي فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُ‏

And Heazwj Said: and We have Preferred some of the Prophets above the others, [17:55]. And Heazwj Said: Look, how We Prefer some of them above others, and for the Hereafter there are greater Ranks and greater Preferments [17:21]. And Said: There are (varying) Levels in the Presence of Allah, [3:163]. And Said: and Give every one with merit, his merit, [11:3].

وَ قَالَ‏ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ هاجَرُوا وَ جاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوالِهِمْ وَ أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ وَ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الْمُجاهِدِينَ عَلَى الْقاعِدِينَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً دَرَجاتٍ مِنْهُ وَ مَغْفِرَةً وَ رَحْمَةً

And Said: Those who believed and emigrated in the Way of Allah with their wealth and their selves are of a greater rank in the Presence of Allah. [9:20]. And Said: Allah Merited the fighters with their wealth and their selves over the ones sitting back, by a level; and to each Allah has Promised good; and Allah Merited the fighters over the ones sitting back by a mighty Recompense [4:95] (High) Levels from Him and Forgiveness and Mercy, [4:96].

وَ قَالَ‏ لا يَسْتَوِي مِنْكُمْ مَنْ أَنْفَقَ مِنْ قَبْلِ الْفَتْحِ وَ قاتَلَ أُولئِكَ أَعْظَمُ دَرَجَةً مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَنْفَقُوا مِنْ بَعْدُ وَ قاتَلُوا وَ قَالَ‏ يَرْفَعِ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ دَرَجاتٍ‏

And Said: They are not the same - the ones from you who spent from before the conquest (of Makkah) and fought, are of a greater level than those who are spending from after (the conquest) and fighting. [57:10]. Allah will Exalt those of you who believe, and those who are given knowledge, in ranks; [58:11].

وَ قَالَ‏ ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ لا يُصِيبُهُمْ ظَمَأٌ وَ لا نَصَبٌ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ وَ ما تُقَدِّمُوا لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ تَجِدُوهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ فَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ خَيْراً يَرَهُ وَ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِثْقالَ ذَرَّةٍ شَرًّا يَرَهُ‏

And Said: That is because they would neither be hit by thirst, nor fatigue, [9:120] – up to Hisazwj Words: surely Allah does not Waste a Recompense of the good doers [9:120]. And Said: and whatever you are sending ahead for yourselves from goodness, you will find it in the Presence of Allah; [2:110]. And Said: So, one who does good of the weight of a particle would see it [99:7] And one who does evil of the weight of a particle would see it [9:8].

فَهَذَا ذِكْرُ دَرَجَاتِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَنَازِلِهِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ.

Thus, this is the Mention of the levels of the Eman and ranks in the Presence of Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty’’.³³⁵

10- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ الْقُرُونُ أَرْبَعَةٌ أَنَا فِي أَفْضَلِهَا قَرْناً ثُمَّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثُ فَإِذَا كَانَ الرَّابِعُ الْتَقَى الرِّجَالُ‏ بِالرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءُ بِالنِّسَاءِ فَقَبَضَ اللَّهُ كِتَابَهُ مِنْ صُدُورِ بَنِي آدَمَ فَيَبْعَثُ اللَّهُ رِيحاً سَوْدَاءَ ثُمَّ لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ سِوَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى إِلَّا قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ‏.

(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy, by his chain,

‘From Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The time periods are four. Isaww in the most superior of these time periods. Then (it will be) the second, then the third. So, when it will be the fourth, the men will meet the men (for copulation), and the women with the women. So, Allahazwj will Capture Hisazwj Book from the chests of the children of Adamas, then Heazwj will Send a black wind, then there will not remain anyone besides Allahazwj the Exalted except Allahazwj will Capture him (his soul) to Himazwj’’.³³⁶

11- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ أَنَا أَمَنَةٌ لِأَصْحَابِي فَإِذَا قُبِضْتُ دَنَا مِنْ أَصْحَابِي مَا يُوعَدُونَ وَ أَصْحَابِي أَمَنَةٌ لِأُمَّتِي فَإِذَا قُبِضَ أَصْحَابِي دَنَا مِنْ‏ أُمَّتِي مَا يُوعَدُونَ وَ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ ظَاهِراً عَلَى الْأَدْيَانِ كُلِّهَا مَا دَامَ فِيكُمْ مَنْ قَدْ رَآنِي‏.

And by this chain heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww am a security for mysaww companions. So, when Isaww pass away, it would come near to mysaww companions what they have been promised; and mysaww companions are a security for mysaww community, so when mysaww companions die, then it would come near to mysaww community what they have been promised; and this Religion will not cease to prevail upon the (other ) Religions, all of them, for as long as among you is one who has seen mesaww’’.³³⁷

12- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَأْتِي أَهْلَ الصُّفَّةِ وَ كَانُوا ضِيفَانَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كَانُوا هَاجَرُوا مِنْ أَهَالِيهِمْ وَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَسْكَنَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صُفَّةَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ هُمْ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ رَجُلٍ فَكَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَ الْعَشِيِّ

And by this chain, from Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww used to come to the people of the platform, and there used to be two guests of Rasool-Allahsaww who had emigrated from their families and their wealth to Al-Medina. Rasool-Allahsaww settled them in a platform of the Masjid, and they were four hundred men. Hesaww used to greet them in the morning and evening.

فَأَتَاهُمْ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَخْصِفُ نَعْلَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَرْقَعُ ثَوْبَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَتَفَلَّى وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَرْزُقُهُمْ مُدّاً مُدّاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ التَّمْرُ الَّذِي تَرْزُقُنَا قَدْ أَحْرَقَ بُطُونَنَا

One day hesaww came to them, and from them was one whose slipper was broken, and from them was one who clothes were patched, and from them was one who had lice, and Rasool-Allahsaww used to grace them a Mudd by a Mudd (handful) of dates during every day. A man from them stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! The dates yousaww are feeding us have split our bellies’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَا إِنِّي لَوِ اسْتَطَعْتُ أَنْ أُطْعِمَكُمُ الدُّنْيَا لَأَطْعَمْتُكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ مَنْ عَاشَ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِي يُغْدَى عَلَيْهِ بِالْجِفَانِ وَ يُرَاحُ عَلَيْهِ بِالْجِفَانِ وَ يَغْدُو أَحَدُكُمْ فِي خَمِيصَةٍ وَ يَرُوحُ فِي أُخْرَى وَ تُنَجِّدُونَ‏ بُيُوتَكُمْ كَمَا تُنَجَّدُ الْكَعْبَةُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘As for mesaww, if Isaww had the capacity to feed you the (whole) world, Isaww would feed it to you, but one from you who lives after mesaww would be fed in the trays, and with be saturated with the mugs, and one of you would be in a colourful shirt in the morning and rest in another, and you will be finding your houses (with curtains) just as you find the Kabah’.

فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا إِلَى ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ بِالْأَشْوَاقِ فَمَتَى هُوَ قَالَ ص زَمَانُكُمْ هَذَا خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ إِنَّكُمْ إِنْ مَلَأْتُمْ بُطُونَكُمْ مِنَ الْحَلَالِ تُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تَمْلَئُوهَا مِنَ الْحَرَامِ

A man stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! We are with the desire to that time, so when will it be?’ Hesaww said: ‘This time period of yours is better than that time. You are filling your bellies from the Permissible, and you are desiring to fill them from the Prohibited?’

فَقَامَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَشَجَّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِنَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ قَالَ الْحِسَابُ وَ الْقَبْرُ ثُمَّ ضِيقُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ أَوْ سَعَتُهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ تَخَافُ أَنْتَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ أَسْتَحْيِي مِنَ النِّعَمِ الْمُتَظَاهِرَةِ الَّتِي لَا أُجَازِيهَا وَ لَا جُزْءاً مِنْ سَبْعَةٍ

Sa’ad Bin Ashajja stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What will be done with us after the death?’ Hesaww said: ‘The reckoning, then its narrowness after that or its expanse’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Do yousaww fear that?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, but Isaww am embarrassed from the prevailing bounties which Isaww have not allowed, nor it being a part from seven’.

فَقَالَ سَعْدُ بْنُ أَشَجَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُ رَسُولَهُ وَ مَنْ حَضَرَنِي أَنَّ نَوْمَ اللَّيْلِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ وَ الْأَكْلَ بِالنَّهَارِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ وَ لِبَاسَ اللَّيْلِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ وَ مُخَالَطَةَ النَّاسِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ وَ إِتْيَانَ النِّسَاءِ عَلَيَّ حَرَامٌ

Sa’ad Bin Ashajja said, ‘I keep Allahazwj as Witness and keep Hisazwj Rasoolsaww as witness and the ones in my presence that the night sleep is hereby prohibited unto me, and the eating by the day is prohibited unto me, and the night dress is prohibited unto me, and mingling with the people is prohibited unto me, and going to the women is prohibited unto me’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا سَعْدُ لَمْ تَصْنَعْ شَيْئاً كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ تَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ إِذَا لَمْ تُخَالِطِ النَّاسَ وَ سُكُونُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ بَعْدَ الْحَضَرِ كُفْرٌ لِلنِّعْمَةِ نَمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ كُلْ‏ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ الْبَسْ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ ذَهَباً أَوْ حَرِيراً أَوْ مُعَصْفَراً وَ أْتِ النِّسَاءَ يَا سَعْدُ اذْهَبْ إِلَى بَنِي الْمُصْطَلِقِ فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ رَدُّوا رَسُولِي

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Sa’ad! If you don’t do anything, how will you enjoin with the good and forbid from the evil when you do not mingle with the people, and dwelling in the wilderness after the town dwelling is Kufr with the bounties (of Allahazwj). Sleep at night, and eat by the day, and wear what does not happen to be gold, or silver, or (dyed) yellow, and go to the women. O Sa’ad! Go to the clan of Al-Mustalaq for then have repelled mysaww messenger’.

فَذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَجَاءَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قَالَ خَيْرَ قَوْمٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ قَوْماً قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ أَخْلَاقاً فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ مِنْ قَوْمٍ بَعَثْتَنِي إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مِنْ أَهْلِ دَارِ الْخُلُودِ الَّذِينَ كَانَ لَهَا سَعْيُهُمْ وَ فِيهَا رَغْبَتُهُمْ أَنْ يَكُونُوا أَوْلِيَاءَ الشَّيْطَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ دَارِ الْغُرُورِ الَّذِينَ لَهَا سَعْيُهُمْ وَ فِيهَا رَغْبَتُهُمْ

He went to them and came with charities. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘How did you see them to be?’ He said, ‘Good people. I have not seen any people with netter manners in what is between them, than any people yousaww have sent me to’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘It is not befitting for the friends of Allahazwj the Exalted, from the people of the eternal house, those who are striving for it and are desirous in it, that they would be friends of Satanla, from the people of the house of deception, those who are striving for it and are desirous in it’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ بِئْسَ الْقَوْمُ قَوْمٌ لَا يَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ لَا يَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ بِئْسَ الْقَوْمُ قَوْمٌ يَقْذِفُونَ الْآمِرِينَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ النَّاهِينَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ بِئْسَ الْقَوْمُ قَوْمٌ لَا يَقُومُونَ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى بِالْقِسْطِ بِئْسَ الْقَوْمُ قَوْمٌ يَقْتُلُونَ الَّذِينَ يَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْقِسْطِ فِي النَّاسِ

Then hesaww said: ‘The evilest of the people are a people who are not enjoining with the good nor forbidding from the evil. Evilest of the people are a people who are slandering the enjoiners of the good and the forbidders from the evil. Evilest of the people are a people who are not standing with the fairness for the Sake of Allahazwj. Evilest of the people are a people who are killing those who are enjoining the people with the fairness among the people.

And the decision by the Book is upon what Amir Al-Momineenasws acted upon and the Obligations are upon the Book of Allahazwj and its Ordinances, and feeding the food upon Hisazwj Love, and Hajj of the House (Kabah), and the Jihad in the Way of Allahazwj, and Fasting of the Month of Ramazan, and washing from the sexual impurity, and the complete Wudu’u upon the hands and the face and the forearms to the elbows, and the wiping upon the head, and the two feet to the two angles, neither upon the sock nor upon the head scarf, nor upon the turban.

وَ الْحُبِّ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي فِي اللَّهِ وَ حُبِّ شِيعَتِهِمْ لَهُمْ وَ الْبُغْضِ لِأَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ بُغْضِ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ‏ وَ الْعَدَاوَةِ فِي اللَّهِ وَ لَهُ وَ الْإِيمَانِ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَ شَرِّهِ وَ حُلْوِهِ وَ مُرِّهِ وَ عَلَى أَنْ يُحَلِّلُوا حَلَالَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ يُحَرِّمُوا حَرَامَهُ

And the love for the Peopleasws of mysaww Households regarding Allahazwj and love for theirasws Shias for themasws, and the hatred to theirasws enemies and hating the ones who befriend them, and the enmity is for the Sake of Allahazwj and for Himazwj, and the Eman is by a measurement of his good and his evil and his sweetness and its bitterness, and upon his permitting the Permissible(s) of the Quran and his prohibiting its Prohibitions.

وَ يَعْمَلُوا بِالْأَحْكَامِ وَ يَرُدُّوا الْمُتَشَابِهَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ فَمَنْ عَمِيَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلِمَهُ مِنِّي وَ لَا سَمِعَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ عَلِمَ كَمَا قَدْ عَلِمْتُهُ‏ ظَاهِرَهُ وَ بَاطِنَهُ وَ مُحْكَمَهُ وَ مُتَشَابِهَهُ وَ هُوَ يُقَاتِلُ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِهِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ‏ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ

And acting by the Ordinances and referring the confusing matter to its (Quran’s) people. So, the one upon whom something is blind of something from his deeds, he did not happen to have learn it from mesaww nor heard it, then upon him is to be with Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, for heasws has been taught just as Isaww have been taught, its apparent, and its hidden, and its decisive, and its allegorical, and heasws will fight upon its interpretation just as Isaww fought upon its Revelation.

وَ مُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ الْأَئِمَّةِ خَاصَّةً وَ يَتَوَالَى مَنْ وَالاهُمْ وَ شَايَعَهُمْ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ وَ الْعَدَاوَةِ لِمَنْ عَادَاهُمْ وَ شَاقَّهُمْ كَعَدَاوَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِمَّنْ شَايَعَهُمْ وَ تَابَعَهُمْ وَ الِاسْتِقَامَةِ عَلَى طَرِيقَةِ الْإِمَامِ

And befriending the friends of Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww and hissaww offspring of the Imamsasws in particular, and befriending the ones who befriends them, and theirasws Shias, and the disownment and the enmity to the ones who are inimical to them, and their harsh ones like the enmity of Pelted Satanla, and the disownment from their adherents, and their followers, and them; and the standing upon the path of the Imamasws.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنِّي لَا أُقَدِّمُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ أَحَداً فَمَنْ تَقَدَّمَهُ فَهُوَ ظَالِمٌ وَ الْبَيْعَةُ بَعْدِي لِغَيْرِهِ ضَلَالَةٌ وَ فَلْتَةٌ وَ ذِلَّةٌ الْأَوَّلِ ثُمَّ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ الثَّالِثِ وَ وَيْلٌ لِلرَّابِعِ ثُمَّ الْوَيْلُ لَهُ وَ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَ لِأَبِيهِ مَعَ وَيْلٍ لِمَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ وَ وَيْلٌ لَهُمَا وَ لِأَصْحَابِهِمَا لَا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُمَا

And know that Isaww did not place anyone ahead over Aliasws, so the one who precedes himasws, he is an unjust, and the allegiance after mesaww to others is a straying, and an error and humiliation, of the first, then the second, then the third, and woe be unto the fourth, then the woe be to him, and woe be to him and to his father along with woes of the ones who were before him, and woe to them both, and to their companions, may Allahazwj not Forgive them both.

فَهَذِهِ شُرُوطُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَا بَقِيَ أَكْثَرُ قَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَ أَطَعْنَا وَ قَبِلْنَا وَ صَدَّقْنَا وَ نَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ نَشْهَدُ لَكَ عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا بِالرِّضَا بِهِ أَبَداً حَتَّى نَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكَ آمَنَّا بِسِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ رَضِينَا بِهِمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ هُدَاةً وَ مَوَالِيَ

These are the conditions of Al-Islam, and what remain are more’. Theyra said, ‘Wera hear, and wera obey, and wera accept, and wera ratify, and wera say similar to that, and wera testify to yousaww upon ourselvesra with the agreement with it, for ever, until wera arrive to yousaww. Wera believe in theirasws secrets, and their proclamations, and wera are pleased with themasws as Imamsasws and as guides and Mastersasws’.

قَالَ وَ أَنَا مَعَكُمْ شَهِيدٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ هِيَ مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا قَالُوا نَعَمْ

Hesaww said: ‘And Isaww am a witness along with youra all’. Then hesaww said: ‘Yes, and youra testify that the Paradise is true, and it is Forbidden upon the creatures until Isaww enter it’. Theyra said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ وَ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ النَّارَ حَقٌّ وَ هِيَ مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَهَا أَعْدَاءُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ النَّاصِبُونَ لَهُمْ حَرْباً وَ عَدَاوَةً وَ لَاعِنُهُمْ وَ مُبْغِضُهُمْ وَ قَاتِلُهُمْ‏ كَمَنْ لَعَنَنِي أَوْ أَبْغَضَنِي أَوْ قَاتَلَنِي وَ هُمْ فِي النَّارِ قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا وَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَقْرَرْنَا

Hesaww said: ‘And youra will testify that the Fire is true, and it is Forbidden upon the Kafirs until the enemies of the Peopleasws of mysaww Household enter it, and the (Nasibis) establishing war to themasws, and enmity, and the ones cursing themasws, and hating themasws, and ones killing themasws, like the ones who curse mesaww, or hate mesaww, or kill mesaww, and they would (all) be in the Fire’. Theyra said, ‘Wera testify, and upon that wera acknowledge’.

قَالَ وَ تَشْهَدُونَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً صَاحِبُ حَوْضِي وَ الذَّائِدُ عَنْهُ وَ هُوَ قَسِيمُ النَّارِ يَقُولُ‏ ذَلِكَ لَكَ فَاقْبِضْهُ‏ ذَمِيماً وَ هَذَا لِي فَلَا تَقْرَبَنَّهُ فَيَنْجُو سَلِيماً قَالُوا شَهِدْنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ نُؤْمِنُ بِهِ قَالَ وَ أَنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ شَهِيدٌ.

Hesaww said: ‘And youra will testify that Aliasws is in charge of mysaww Fountain, and the preventer from it, and heasws is the distributor of the Fire, saying (to it): ‘That one is for you, so capture him, the despicable’, and this one is for measws, so do not go near him’, and youra will be rescued safely’. Theyra said, ‘Wera testify upon that and wera believe in himasws’. Hesaww said: ‘And Isaww am a witness upon that’’.³⁵⁰

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq Al Attar, from his father, from Ibn Isa, from Nuh Bin Shuayb, from Al Dihqan, from Urwa cousin of Shuayb, from Shuayb, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Al-Sadiq Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws narrating from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘One day Rasool-Allahsaww said to hissaww companions: ‘Which one of you fasts constantly?’ Salmanra said. ‘Ira do, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ So, which one of you revives the (every) night (in Salat)?’ Salmanra said, ‘Ira do, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Which one of you completes the Quran during every day?’ Salmanra said, ‘Ira do, O Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَغَضِبَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْفُرْسِ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَفْتَخِرَ عَلَيْنَا مَعَاشِرَ قُرَيْشٍ قُلْتَ أَيُّكُمْ يَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَ هُوَ أَكْثَرَ أَيَّامِهِ يَأْكُلُ وَ قُلْتَ أَيُّكُمْ يُحْيِي اللَّيْلَ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَ هُوَ أَكْثَرَ لَيْلَتِهِ نَائِمٌ وَ قُلْتَ أَيُّكُمْ يَخْتِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ أَنَا وَ هُوَ أَكْثَرَ نَهَارِهِ صَامِتٌ

One of the companions got angry and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! A man from Persia intends to pride upon us, community of Quraysh. Yousaww said, ‘Which one of you fasts constantly’, and hera said, ‘Ira do’, and hera eats most of hisra days. And yousaww said: ‘Which of you revives the night?’ Hera said, ‘Ira do’, and hera sleeps most of hisra night. And yousaww said, ‘Which one of you completes the Quran during every day’, hera said, ‘Ira do’, and hera is silent most of hisra day!’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَهْ يَا فُلَانُ أَنَّى لَكَ بِمِثْلِ لُقْمَانَ الْحَكِيمِ سَلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُنَبِّئُكَ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Shh, O so and so! Surely, for you is an example of Luqmanas the wise. Ask himra and hera will inform you’.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِسَلْمَانَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَ لَيْسَ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّكَ تَصُومُ الدَّهْرَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُكَ فِي أَكْثَرِ نَهَارِكَ تَأْكُلُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ إِنِّي أَصُومُ الثَّلَاثَةَ فِي الشَّهْرِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثالِها وَ أَصِلُ شَعْبَانَ بِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَذَلِكَ صَوْمُ الدَّهْرِ

So, the man said to Salmanra, ‘O Abu Abdullah! Didn’t youra claim that youra tend to fast constantly?’ Hera said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I have seen youra eating in most of yourra days’. Hera said, ‘It isn’t where you are going. Ira fast the three (days) in the month, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: One who comes with the good deed, then for him would be ten the likes of it, [6:160], and Ira connect Shaban with the Month of Ramazan, so that is the constant fasting’.

فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّكَ تُحْيِي اللَّيْلَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ أَكْثَرَ لَيْلَتِكَ نَائِمٌ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ وَ لَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ‏ حَبِيبِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ بَاتَ عَلَى طُهْرٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا أَحْيَا اللَّيْلَ كُلَّهُ فَأَنَا أَبِيتُ عَلَى طُهْرٍ

He said, ‘Didn’t youra claim that youra revive the night?’ Hera said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Youra sleep most of yourra night’. Hera said, ‘It isn’t where you are going, but Ira heard myra beloved Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘One who spends the night upon cleanliness, it is as if he has revived the night, all of it.’. So, Ira tent to spend the night upon cleanliness’.

فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّكَ تَخْتِمُ الْقُرْآنَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ أَكْثَرَ أَيَّامِكَ صَامِتٌ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ حَيْثُ تَذْهَبُ وَ لَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ حَبِيبِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ ع يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مَثَلُكَ فِي أُمَّتِي مَثَلُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَمَنْ قَرَأَهَا مَرَّةً قَرَأَ ثُلُثَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ فَقَدْ قَرَأَ ثُلُثَيِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا ثَلَاثاً فَقَدْ خَتَمَ الْقُرْآنَ

He said, ‘Didn’t youra claim that youra complete the Quran during every day?’ Hera said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘But youra are silent most of yourra day’. Hera said, ‘It isn’t where you are going, but Ira heard myra beloved Rasool-Allahsaww saying to Aliasws: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Yourasws example in mysaww community is an example of Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed). So, the one who recites it once, has recited a third of the Quran, and one who recites it twice has recited two-thirds of the Quran, and one who recites it thrice, so he has completed the Quran.

فَمَنْ أَحَبَّكَ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَدْ كَمَلَ لَهُ ثُلُثُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ قَلْبِهِ فَقَدْ كَمَلَ لَهُ ثُلُثَا الْإِيمَانِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ نَصَرَكَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَدِ اسْتَكْمَلَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ يَا عَلِيُّ لَوْ أَحَبَّكَ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ كَمَحَبَّةِ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ لَكَ لَمَا عُذِّبَ أَحَدٌ بِالنَّارِ وَ أَنَا أَقْرَأُ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

The one who loves youasws with his tongue, a third of the Eman is completed for him, and one who loves you with his tongue and his heart, so he has completed two-thirds of the Eman, and one who loves youasws with his tongue, and his heart and helps youasws with his hands, so he has completed the Eman. By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth, O Aliasws! If the people were to love youasws like the love of the people of the sky for youasws, no one would be Punished with the Fire’; and Ira tent to recite Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed), three times during every day’.

فَقَامَ وَ كَأَنَّهُ قَدْ أُلْقِمَ حَجَراً.

He stood up and it was as if he had swallowed a stone’’.³⁵¹

‘From Abu Zarr Jundab Bin Junadabra having said, ‘Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying three phrases to Aliasws: ‘There are three, if one of these would happen to be for mesaww would be more beloved to mesaww than the world and whatever is in it. Ira heard himsaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Assist himasws, and be helped through himasws. O Allahazwj! Help himasws and be helped through himasws, for heasws is Yourazwj servant, and brotherasws of Yourazwj Rasoolsaww’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَشْهَدُ لِعَلِيٍّ بِالْوَلَاءِ وَ الْإِخَاءِ وَ الْوَصِيَّةِ

Then Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira testify for Aliasws with the friendship and the brotherhood and the successorship’.

قَالَ كريزَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ وَ كَانَ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَ أَبُو الْهَيْثَمِ بْنُ التَّيِّهَانِ وَ خُزَيْمَةُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ذُو الشَّهَادَتَيْنِ وَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ صَاحِبُ مَنْزِلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ هَاشِمُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ الْمِرْقَالُ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

Kareeza Bin Salih (the narrator) said, ‘And Salman Al-Farsira had testified for himasws similar to that, and (so did) Al-Miqdadra, and Ammarra, and Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari, and Abu Al-Haysam Bin Al-Tayhan, and Khuzeyma Bin Sabit, one with the two testimonies, and Abu Ayoub owner of the house of Rasool-Allahsaww, and Hashim Bin Utba Al-Mirqal, all of them being from the meritorious companions of Rasool-Allahsaww’’.³⁵²

‘From Aliasws, it was said to himasws, ‘Narrate to us about Abu Zarr Al-Ghafarira’. Heasws said: ‘Hera learnt the knowledge, then installed it and tied it upon himra with a severe tightening’.

They said, ‘So who is Huzayfa?’ Heasws said: ‘He knew the names of the hypocrites’. They said, ‘What about Ammar Bin Yasserra?’ Heasws said: ‘Momin full of disorientated Eman. He forgot, and when reminded, he remembered’. It was said, ‘What about Abdullah Bin Masoud?’ Heasws said: ‘Reciter of the Quran. He descended (knelt) with it’.

قَالُوا فَحَدِّثْنَا عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ أَدْرَكَ الْعِلْمَ الْأَوَّلَ وَ الْآخِرَ وَ هُوَ بَحْرٌ لَا يُنْزَحُ وَ هُوَ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ قَالُوا فَحَدِّثْنَا عَنْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ كُنْتُ إِذَا سَأَلْتُ أُعْطِيتُ وَ إِذَا سَكَتُّ ابْتُدِيتُ‏.

They said, ‘Narrated to us about Salman Al-Farsira’.

Uyoon Akhbaar Al-Rezaasws – Al Daqqaq, from Al-Sowfy, from Al-Ruyani, from Abdul Azeem Al-Hasany, from Abu Ja’farasws the 2nd from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Salmanra called Abu Zarrra to hisra house and forwarded two loaves of bread towards himra. Abu Zarrra took the two breads and turned them over. Salmanra said to himra, ‘O Abu Zarrra! For which reason did youra turn over these two loaves?’ Hera said, ‘Ira feared they might happen to be matured’.

فَغَضِبَ سَلْمَانُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ غَضَباً شَدِيداً ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَجْرَأَكَ حَيْثُ تَقْلِبُ هَذَيْنِ الرَّغِيفَيْنِ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ عَمِلَ فِي هَذَا الْخُبْزِ الْمَاءُ الَّذِي تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ وَ عَمِلَتْ فِيهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى أَلْقَوْهُ إِلَى الرِّيحِ وَ عَمِلَتْ فِيهِ الرِّيحُ حَتَّى أَلْقَتْهُ إِلَى السَّحَابِ وَ عَمِلَ فِيهِ السَّحَابُ حَتَّى أَمْطَرَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ عَمِلَ فِيهِ الرَّعْدُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى وَضَعُوهُ مَوَاضِعَهُ وَ عَمِلَتْ فِيهِ الْأَرْضُ وَ الْخَشَبُ وَ الْحَدِيدُ وَ الْبَهَائِمُ وَ النَّارُ وَ الْحَطَبُ وَ الْمِلْحُ وَ مَا لَا أُحْصِيهِ أَكْثَرُ فَكَيْفَ لَكَ أَنْ تَقُومَ بِهَذَا الشُّكْرِ

Salmanra was angered from that with intense anger, then said, ‘How audacious of youra when youra turned over these two loaves. By Allahazwj! It has been worked in this bread, the water which is beneath the Throne, and the Angels worked in it until they cast it to the wind, and the wind worked in it until it cast it to the cloud, and the cloud worked in it until it rained it to the earth, and the thunder and the Angels worked in it until they place it in its place, and the earth worked in it, and the wood and the iron, and the animals, and the fire, and the firewood, and the salt, and what cannot be counted is more. So how is it for youra if yourra were to establish the gratefulness with this?’

فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَتُوبُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِمَّا أَحْدَثْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ أَعْتَذِرُ مِمَّا كَرِهْتَ

Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira repent to Allahazwj and seek Forgiveness of Allahazwj from what Ira did, and Ira present excuse to youra from what youra disliked’.

قَالَ وَ دَعَا سَلْمَانُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ إِلَى ضِيَافَةٍ فَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ جِرَابِهِ كِسَراً يَابِسَةً وَ بَلَّهَا مِنْ رَكْوَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ مَا أَطْيَبَ هَذَا الْخُبْزَ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ مِلْحٌ فَقَامَ سَلْمَانُ وَ خَرَجَ فَرَهَنَ رَكْوَتَهُ بِمِلْحٍ وَ حَمَلَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَأْكُلُ ذَلِكَ الْخُبْزَ وَ يَذُرُّ عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الْمِلْحَ وَ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي رَزَقَنَا هَذِهِ الْقَنَاعَةَ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ لَوْ كَانَتْ قَنَاعَةً لَمْ تَكُنْ رَكْوَتِي مَرْهُونَةً.

Heasws said: ‘And Salman invited Abu Zarrra one day to host himra. Hera forwarded a dry piece (of bread) towards himra from hisra bag, and moistened it from hisra water container. Abu Zarrra said, ‘How good is this bread, if only there was salt with it’. Salmanra got up and went out, and pawned his container for salt and carried it to himra. Abu Zarrra went on to eat the bread and sprinkle that salt upon that and saying, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Graced us. This is the contentment’. Salmanra said, ‘If youra had been content, myra container would not have been pawned’’.³⁵⁷

This was Revealed regarding Salman Al-Farsira. Hera had a cloak in which there was hisra food, and it (was used) as a covering and a robe, and it was a cloak of wool.

Ayayna Bin Hasan came up to the Prophetsaww, and Salmanra was in hissaww presence. The wind blew and the cloak of Salmanra touched Ayayna, and there was sweat in it, and in those days there was intense heat, and the sweat was in the cloak. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! When we come over to yousaww, then this onera and hisra party should go out from yoursaww presence. When we go out, then let whosoever wants to, come over to yousaww’.

Tafseer Qummi - One who commits Kufr after his Eman, except for the one coerced, and his heart is content with the Eman, [16:106], it is Ammar Bin Yasserra. Quraysh seized himra at Makkah and tormented himra with the fire until he gave them with his tongue what they wanted, and his heart was acknowledging with the Eman’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا سَلْمَانُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ صَدَّقَ قِيلَكَ‏ وَ وَفِقَ رَأْيَكَ فَإِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ عَنِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ سَلْمَانُ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ أَخَوَانِ مُتَصَافِيَانِ فِي وِدَادِكَ وَ وِدَادِ عَلِيٍّ أَخِيكَ وَ وَصِيِّكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ هُمَا فِي أَصْحَابِكَ كَجَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ فِي الْمَلَائِكَةِ عَدُوَّانِ‏ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلِيَّانِ لِمَنْ وَالاهُمَا وَ وَالَى مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً عَدُوَّانِ لِمَنْ عَادَى مُحَمَّداً وَ عَلِيّاً وَ أَوْلِيَاءَهُمَا

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Salmanra! Allahazwj has Ratified yourra words and is co-incidental with yourra view, for Jibraeelas is saying on behalf of Allahazwj: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Salmanra and Al-Miqdadra are brothers, ratifiers regarding yoursaww cordiality and cordiality of Aliasws yoursaww brotherasws and yoursaww successorasws and yoursaww true friend, and theyra both are among yoursaww companions, like Jibraeelas and Mikaeelas are among the Angels, being inimical to the ones who hat one of themas, friends to the ones who befriends themas, and befriends Muhammadsaww, and Aliasws, inimical to the ones who are inimical to Muhammadsaww, and Aliasws, and theirasws friends.

وَ لَوْ أَحَبَّ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ سَلْمَانَ وَ الْمِقْدَادَ كَمَا تُحِبُّهُمَا مَلَائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْحُجُبِ وَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْعَرْشِ لِمَحْضِ وِدَادِهِمَا لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُوَالاتِهِمَا لِأَوْلِيَائِهِمَا وَ مُعَادَاتِهِمَا لِأَعْدَائِهِمَا لَمَا عَذَّبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَحَداً مِنْهُمْ بِعَذَابٍ الْبَتَّةَ.

And if the people of the earth were to love Salmanra and Al-Miqdadra just as the Angels of the skies and the Veils and the Chair and the Throne love themra due to theirra sincere cordiality for Muhammadsaww and Aliasws and theirra friendship to theirasws friends, and theirra enmity to theirasws enemies, Allahazwj the Exalted would not Punish any one of them with anything at all’’.³⁸³

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – ‘From Is’haq son of Musaasws, for his father Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, in a lengthy Hadeeth Amir Al-Momineenasws mentioning in it the treachery of the ones who neglected the fighting, the ones who arrived to himasws, heasws said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, Iasws was pre-occupied with burying himasws, and (when) Iasws was free from hissaww matters, then Iasws made a vow that Iasws will not wear a robe except for the Salat and have collected the Quran. I did so.

ثُمَّ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِ فَاطِمَةَ وَ ابْنَيَّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ ثُمَّ دُرْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَ أَهْلِ السَّابِقَةِ فَنَاشَدْتُهُمْ حَقِّي وَ دَعَوْتُهُمْ إِلَى نُصْرَتِي فَمَا أَجَابَنِي مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا أَرْبَعَةُ رَهْطٍ سَلْمَانُ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ.

Then Iasws grabbed a hand of (Syeda) Fatimaasws and myasws two sonsasws Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, then Iasws went around to the people of Badr, and people of the precedence and adjured them of myasws rights and called them to help measws, but no one from them answered measws except a group of four – Salmanra, and Ammarra, and Al-Miqdadra, and Abu Zarrra’’.³⁸⁴

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – ‘In a report of Suleym Bin Qays Al-Hilali, from Salmanra having said, ‘When Amir Al-Momineenasws was free from washing Rasool-Allahsaww and enshrouding himsaww, heasws included measws, and included Abu Zarrra, and Al-Miqdadra and (Syeda) Fatimaasws and Hassanasws and Husaynasws. So, we went ahead and formed rows behind himasws, and prayed upon himsaww and Ayesha was in the room, not knowing, Jibraeelas had seized her sight.

ثُمَّ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ بَعْدَ ذِكْرِ بَيْعَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ مَا جَرَى فِيهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ حَمَلَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَاطِمَةَ ع عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ ابْنَيْهِ حَسَنٍ وَ حُسَيْنٍ‏ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ أَحَداً مِنْ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ لَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا أَتَاهُ فِي مَنْزِلِهِ وَ ذَكَّرَهُ حَقَّهُ وَ دَعَاهُ إِلَى نُصْرَتِهِ فَمَا اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِهِمْ إِلَّا أَرْبَعَةٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا

Then Salmanra said after mentioning the allegiance of Abu Bakr and what flowed regarding it. When it was the night, Aliasws carried (Syeda) Fatimaasws upon a donkey and grabbed a hand of hisasws two sonsasws Hassanasws and Husaynasws. Heasws did not leave anyone from the people of Bader, neither from the Emigrants nor from the Helpers, except heasws went to him in his house and reminded him of hisasws rights, and called him to help himasws. But, no one from their entirety answered to himasws except twenty four men.

‏ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُصْبِحُوا بُكْرَةً مُحَلِّقِينَ رُءُوسَهُمْ مَعَ سِلَاحِهِمْ قَدْ بَايَعُوهُ عَلَى الْمَوْتِ فَأَصْبَحَ وَ لَمْ يُوَافِهِ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُ أَرْبَعَةٍ

Heasws instructed them that in the morning they should come with their weapons, having shaved their heads. They had pledged to himasws upon the death. It was morning and no one from them did so apart from four’.

قُلْتُ لِسَلْمَانَ مَنِ الْأَرْبَعَةُ قَالَ أَنَا وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ بْنُ الْعَوَّامِ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ‏ فَنَاشَدَهُمْ فَقَالُوا نُصْبِحُكَ بُكْرَةً فَمَا مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ وَفَى غَيْرُنَا ثُمَّ لَيْلَةَ الثَّالِثَةِ فَمَا وَفَى غَيْرُنَا فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَلِيٌّ ع غَدْرَهُمْ وَ قِلَّةَ وَفَائِهِمْ لَزِمَ بَيْتَهُ وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقُرْآنِ يُؤَلِّفُهُ وَ يَجْمَعُهُ.

I said to Salmanra, ‘Who were the four?’ Hera said, ‘Ira and Abu Zarrra, and Al-Miqdadra, and Al-Zubeyr Bin Al-Awwam. Then heasws went to them at night and adjured them. They said, ‘We came early morning and there was no one from them who did so apart from us’. Then on the third night, no one came apart from us three. When Aliasws saw their betrayal and scarcity of their loyalty, stayed in hisasws house and turned towards the Quran, compiling it and collecting it’’.³⁸⁵

Heasws said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Neither has the green (sky) shaded, nor has the soil carried one with a more truthful tone than Abu Zarrra’.

He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Inform me about Salman Al-Farsira’. Heasws said: ‘Congratulations! Congratulations! Salmanra is from usasws the Peopleasws of the Household and who is for you as an example of Luqmanas the wise. Hera knew the knowledge of the former ones and knowledge of the latter ones’.

He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Inform me about Ammar Bin Yasserra’. Heasws said: ‘Hera is a person, Allahazwj has Prohibited hisra flesh and hisra blood unto the Fire and for it to touch anything from these two’.

He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Inform me about Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamani’. Heasws said: ‘That is a person who knew the names of the hypocrites. If you were to ask him about the Legal Punishments of Allahazwj, you would find him knowing of these, knowledgeable’.

Then Abu Bakr came, so I said to him that the Prophetsaww said: ‘The Paradise is desirous to four from mysaww community’, go and ask himsaww who they are’. He said, ‘I fear I may not be from them, and the clan of Tameem would reproach me with it’.

فَأَتَيْتُ عُمَرَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ فَيُعَيِّرَنِي بِهِ بَنُو عَدِيٍّ فَأَتَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا أَكُونَ مِنْهُمْ فَيُعَيِّرَنِي بِهِ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ

I went to Umar and said to him similar to that. He said, ‘I fear that I may not be from them and the clan of Aday would reproach me with it’. I went to Usman and said to him similar to that. He said: I fear that I may not be from them and the clan of Umarra would reproach me with it’.

فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيّاً وَ هُوَ فِي نَاضِحٍ لَهُ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مُشْتَاقَةٌ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَاسْأَلْهُ مَنْ هُمْ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَسْأَلَنَّهُ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مِنْهُمْ لَأَحْمَدَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ مِنْهُمْ لَأَسْأَلَنَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ وَ أَوَدُّهُمْ

I went to Aliasws and heasws was in a camel watering place of hisasws and said, ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘The Paradise is desirous to four from mysaww community. Ask himsaww who they are. By Allahazwj! I will not ask himsaww, so if youasws are from them, I shall praise Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and if youasws are not from them, I shall ask Allahazwj to Make me to be from them and I would be cordial with them’.

فَجَاءَ وَ جِئْتُ مَعَهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ رَأْسُهُ فِي حَجْرِ دِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ دِحْيَةُ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ خُذْ بِرَأْسِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ رَأْسُهُ فِي حَجْرِ عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مَا جِئْتَنَا إِلَّا فِي حَاجَةٍ

Heasws went and Iasws went with himasws to the Prophetsaww. We entered to see the Prophetsaww and hissaww head was in a lap of Dahiyat Al-Kalby. When Dahiya saw himasws, he stood up to himasws and greeted unto himasws and said: ‘Take the head of the sonsaww of yourasws uncleas, O Amir Al-Momineenasws, from youasws are more deserving with it’. The Prophetsaww woke up and hissaww head was in a lap of Aliasws. Hesaww said to himasws: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Youasws have not come to us except regarding a need’.

قَالَ بِأَبِي‏ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دَخَلْتُ وَ رَأْسُكَ فِي حَجْرِ دِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ فَقَامَ إِلَيَّ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ وَ قَالَ خُذْ بِرَأْسِ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ إِلَيْكَ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنِّي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Heasws said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras (be sacrificed for yousaww), O Rasool-Allahsaww! Iasws entered and yoursaww head was in the lap of Dahiyat Al-Kalby. He stood up to measws and greeted unto measws and said, ‘Take the head of the sonsaww of yourasws uncleas to youasws, for youasws are more rightful with it than me, O Amir Al-Momineenasws’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَهَلْ عَرَفْتَهُ فَقَالَ هُوَ دِحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَاكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمَنِي أَنَسٌ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مُشْتَاقَةٌ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَمَنْ هُمْ

The Prophetsaww said to himasws: ‘Do youasws recognise him?’ Heasws said: ‘He is Dahiyat Al-Kalby’. Hesaww said to t himasws: ‘That is Jibraeelas’. Heasws said to himsaww, ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras (be sacrificed for yousaww), O Rasool-Allahsaww! Anas told measws that yousaww said: ‘The Paradise is desirous to four from mysaww community, so who are they?’

فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَوَّلُهُمْ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَوَّلُهُمْ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَوَّلُهُمْ ثَلَاثاً فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي فَمَنِ الثَّلَاثَةُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ سَلْمَانُ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ.

Hesaww gestured by hissaww towards himasws and said: ‘Youasws, by Allahazwj, are their first. By Allahazwj, their first one is youasws. By Allahazwj, their first one is youasws’. Heasws said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras (be sacrificed for yousaww), so who are the (other) three?’ Hesaww said to himasws: ‘Al-Miqdadra, and Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra’’.³⁹²

Heasws said: ‘Hesitant’. I said, ‘Ibn Masoud’. Heasws said: ‘Hesitant’. Then heasws said: ‘But rather, if you are intending those whom nothing (of doubt) entered into them, then upon you are these three – Abu Zarrra, and Salmanra, and Al-Miqdadra’’.³⁹³

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The people were the people of apostasy after the Prophetsaww except three’. I said, ‘And who are the three?’ Heasws said: ‘Al-Miqdadra, and Abu Zarrra, and Salman Al-Farsira, then some people realised after a little while.

فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ دَارَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الرَّحَى وَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يُبَايِعُوا حَتَّى جَاءُوا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مُكْرَهاً فَبَايَعَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ‏ 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.

Heasws said: ‘They are those the mill turned upon them, and they refused to pledge allegiance (to Abu Bakr) until they came with Amir Al-Momineenasws forcibly and pledge allegiances, and that is the Word of Allahazwj: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; so if he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? And the one who turns back upon his heels, he will never harm Allah of anything and Allah would be Recompensing the grateful [3:144]’’.³⁹⁴

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, the people, all of them became the people of pre-Islamic period of ignorance except four – Aliasws, and Al-Miqdadra, and Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra’.

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – ‘From Abu Jameela, from one of his companions,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws) having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Revealed to mesaww that Isaww should love four – Aliasws, and Abu Zarrra, and Salmanra, and Al-Miqdadra’.

فَقُلْتُ أَلَا فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ النَّاسِ أَ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فَقَالَ بَلَى ثَلَاثَةٌ قُلْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ‏ إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ قَوْلُهُ‏ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ‏ أَ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ يَسْأَلُ فِيمَ نَزَلَتْ فَقَالَ مِنْ ثَمَّ أَتَاهُمْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَسْأَلُونَ.

I (the narrator) said, ‘So what about most of the people, was there no one who recognised this matter?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, three’. I said, ‘This Verse which was Revealed: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, [5:55], and Hisazwj Words: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you. [4:59], wasn’t there anyone who asked regarding whom these were Revealed?’ Heasws said: ‘From then onwards, they did not ask’’.³⁹⁶

Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws): ‘One day in the morning Rasool-Allahsaww came and hissaww gathering was full with its people. Hesaww said: ‘Which one of you today benefitted by his virtue, his Momin brother?’ Aliasws said: ‘Iasws did’. Hesaww said: ‘What is that which youasws did?’ Heasws said: ‘Iasws passed by Ammar Bin Yasserra and one of the Jews was pressing him regarding thirty Dirhams which were for him upon him. Ammar said, ‘O brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! This one is pressing me and is not intending except to harm me and humiliate me due to my love for youasws, the Peopleasws of the Household. Therefore finish me off from himasws by yourasws virtue’.

فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أُكَلِّمَ لَهُ الْيَهُودِيَّ فَقَالَ يَا أَخَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنَا أُجِلُّكَ‏ فِي قَلْبِي وَ عَيْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَبْذُلَكَ‏ لِهَذَا الْكَافِرِ وَ لَكِنِ اشْفَعْ لِي إِلَى مَنْ لَا يَرُدُّكَ عَنْ طَلِبَةٍ فَلَوْ أَرَدْتَ جَمِيعَ جَوَانِبِ الْعَالَمِ أَنْ يُصَيِّرَهَا كَأَطْرَافِ السُّفْرَةِ لَفَعَلَ فَاسْأَلْهُ أَنْ يُعِينَنِي عَلَى أَدَاءِ دَيْنِهِ وَ يُغْنِيَنِي عَنِ الِاسْتِدَانَةِ

Iasws intended to speak to the Jew for him, and he (Ammar) said, ‘O brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! Youasws are more majestic in my heart and my eyes than that I should exert youasws for this Kafir, but intercede for me to the One Whoazwj would not Return youasws from yourasws seeking; and if youasws were to intend the entire sides of the world to become like the sides of the yellow (gold), Heazwj would Do so. So ask Himazwj to Assist me upon the paying off of my debts, and make me needless from the borrowing’.

فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بِهِ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ لَهُ اضْرِبْ‏ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَجَرٍ أَوْ مَدَرٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقْلِبُهُ لَكَ ذَهَباً إِبْرِيزاً فَضَرَبَ يَدَهُ فَتَنَاوَلَ حَجَراً فِيهِ أَمْنَانٌ فَتَحَوَّلَ فِي يَدِهِ ذَهَباً

Iasws said: ‘O Allahazwj! Do that for him!’ Then Iasws said to him: ‘Strike with your hand upon whatever is in front of you, from anything from a stone or mud, so Allahazwj would Transform it for you as pure gold ‘. So he struck his hand and grabbed a stone which was ‘Amnaan’ (Two Ratls – 812gms.), and it transformed into his hand as gold.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْيَهُودِيِّ فَقَالَ وَ كَمْ دَيْنُكَ قَالَ ثَلَاثُونَ دِرْهَماً قَالَ فَكَمْ قِيمَتُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةُ دَنَانِيرَ

Then he turned towards the Jews and he said, ‘And how much is your debt?’ He said, ‘Thirty Dirhams’. So he said, ‘How much is its value in gold?’ He said, ‘Three Dinars’.

فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ اللَّهُمَّ بِجَاهِ مَنْ بِجَاهِهِ قَلَبْتَ هَذَا الْحَجَرَ لَيِّنْ لِي هَذَا الذَّهَبَ لِأَفْصِلَ قَدْرَ حَقِّهِ فَأَلَانَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ فَفَصَلَ ثَلَاثَةَ مَثَاقِيلَ وَ أَعْطَاهُ

Ammar said, ‘O Allahazwj! By the virtue of the oneasws by whose virtue, Youazwj Transformed this rock into gold, Soften this gold for me so I can break a (piece of the) measurement of his right’. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Softened it for him, and he broke of this three Misqals (6.2 gms x 3) and gave it to him.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ‏ كَلَّا إِنَّ الْإِنْسانَ لَيَطْغى‏ أَنْ رَآهُ اسْتَغْنى‏ وَ لَا أُرِيدُ غِنًى يُطْغِينِي اللَّهُمَّ فَأَعِدْ هَذَا الذَّهَبَ حَجَراً بِجَاهِ مَنْ بِجَاهِهِ جَعَلْتَهُ ذَهَباً بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ حَجَراً فَعَادَ حَجَراً فَرَمَاهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ وَ قَالَ حَسْبِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مُوَالاتِي لَكَ يَا أَخَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Then he went on looking at him, and he said, ‘O Allahazwj! I heard Youazwj Saying: Never! The human being transgresses [96:6] If he sees himself as needless [96:6], and I do not want riches making me transgress. O Allahazwj! Return this gold as a rock, by the virtue of the oneasws whom Youazwj Made it to be as gold after it having been a rock’. So it returned to be as a rock, and he threw it from his hand and said, ‘It suffices me from the world and the Hereafter, my friendship for youasws – O brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَتَعَجَّبَتْ‏ مَلَائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ قِيلِهِ وَ عَجَّتْ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ فَصَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ تَتَوَالَى عَلَيْهِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Angels of the sky and the earth were astounded from his deed, and they raised their voices to Allahazwj the Exalted with the praise upon him. So Allahazwj Sent Salawat from above Hisazwj Throne to come upon him.

فَأَبْشِرْ يَا أَبَا الْيَقْظَانِ فَإِنَّكَ أَخُو عَلِيٍّ فِي دِيَانَتِهِ‏ وَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ أَهْلِ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ مِنَ الْمَقْتُولِينَ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ وَ آخِرُ زَادِكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا صَاعٌ‏ مِنْ لَبَنٍ وَ يَلْحَقُ رُوحُكَ بِأَرْوَاحِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الْفَاضِلِينَ فَأَنْتَ مِنْ خِيَارِ شِيعَتِي‏.

Hesaww said: ‘Receive glad tidings, O Abu Al-Yaqzan, for you are a brother of Aliasws in hisasws Religion, and from the meritorious ones of hisasws Wilayah, and from the ones to be killed in hisasws love. The rebellious group would kill you, and the last of your provision from the world would be a Sa’a of milk, and your soul would join with the souls of Muhammadsaww and hissaww superior Progenyasws, for you are from the best of mysaww Shias’’.³⁹⁷

49- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام‏ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَمَّا أَصَابَهُمْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ مِنَ الْمِحَنِ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ لَقِيَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ بَعْدَهُ بِأَيَّامٍ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ وَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ فَقَالُوا لَهُمَا أَ لَمْ تَرَيَا مَا أَصَابَكُمْ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ إِنَّمَا يَحْرُبُ كَأَحَدِ طُلَّابِ مُلْكِ الدُّنْيَا حَرْبُهُ سِجَالٌ‏ تَارَةً لَهُ وَ تَارَةً عَلَيْهِ فَارْجِعُوا عَنْ دِينِهِ

Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘And that is, when the Muslims were hit by the adversity on the Day of (the battle of) Ohad what hit them, a group of the Jews met up after a few days, with Ammar Bin Yasserra, and Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamanra, and they said to themra, ‘Did you two not see what hit you on the Day of Ohad? But rather, hesaww went to war just like someone (else) does seeking the kingdom of the world. Hissaww war was undecided (no winner). So, sometimes it is for himsaww and sometimes against himsaww, therefore return from hissaww Religion’.

فَأَمَّا حُذَيْفَةُ فَقَالَ لَعَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ لَا أُقَاعِدُكُمْ وَ لَا أَسْمَعُ مَقَالَتَكُمْ‏ أَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي فَأَفِرُّ بِهِمَا مِنْكُمْ وَ قَامَ عَنْهُمْ يَسْعَى

As for Huzeyfara, hera said, ‘May Allahazwj Curse you! Ira will neither sit with you nor listen to your speech. Ira fear upon myself and my Religion, and Ira flee from you due to these two’. And hera arose from them hurriedly.

وَ أَمَّا عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ عَنْهُمْ وَ لَكِنْ قَالَ لَهُمْ مَعَاشِرَ الْيَهُودِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً وَعَدَ أَصْحَابَهُ الظَّفَرَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ إِنْ يَصْبِرُوا فَصَبَرُوا وَ ظَفِرُوا وَ وَعَدَهُمُ الظَّفَرَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ أَيْضاً إِنْ صَبَرُوا فَفَشِلُوا وَ خَالَفُوا فَلِذَلِكَ أَصَابَهُمْ مَا أَصَابَهُمْ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ أَطَاعُوا فَصَبَرُوا وَ لَمْ يُخَالِفُوا غَلَبُوا

And as for Ammar Bin Yasserra, so hera did not arise from them, but hera said to them, ‘Community of Jews! Muhammadsaww promised hissaww companions victory on the Day of Badr if they were patient. So they were patient and they were victorious. And hesaww promised them the victory on the Day of Ohad as well, if they were patient. But, they failed and opposed, therefore, due to that it hit them what hit them. And had they obeyed and been patient and not opposed, they would have overcome’.

فَقَالَتْ لَهُ الْيَهُودُ يَا عَمَّارُ وَ إِذَا أَطَعْتَ أَنْتَ غَلَبَ مُحَمَّدٌ سَادَاتِ قُرَيْشٍ مَعَ دِقَّةِ سَاقَيْكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ بَاعِثُهُ‏ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي مُحَمَّدٌ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ وَ الْحِكْمَةِ مَا عَرَّفَنِيهِ مِنْ نُبُوَّتِهِ وَ فَهَّمَنِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلِ أَخِيهِ وَ وَصِيِّهِ‏ وَ خَيْرِ مَنْ يَخْلُفُهُ بَعْدَهُ وَ التَّسْلِيمِ لِذُرِّيَّتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ

So the Jew said to himra, ‘O Ammarra! And if you were to obey, would Muhammadsaww overcome the chiefs of Quraysh, with those thin legs of yours?’ Ammarra said, ‘Yes. By Allahazwj, Who, there is no god except Him, Sending Muhammadsaww with the Truth! Muhammadsaww has enumerated to mera from the merits and the wisdom what hesaww made mera to recognise from hissaww Prophet-hood, and made mera to understand from the merits of hissaww brotherasws, and hissaww successorasws, and hissaww elite, and the best one to replace himsaww from after himsaww, and the submission to hisasws offspring, the goodly, the Chosen onesasws.

وَ أَمَرَنِي بِالدُّعَاءِ بِهِمْ عِنْدَ شَدَائِدِي وَ مُهِمَّاتِي وَ وَعَدَنِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَاعْتَقَدْتُ فِيهِ طَاعَتَهُ إِلَّا بَلَغْتُهُ حَتَّى لَوْ أَمَرَنِي بِحَطِّ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَوْ رَفْعِ الْأَرَضِينَ إِلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ لَقَوَّى عَلَيْهِ رَبِّي بِسَاقَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ الدَّقِيقَتَيْنِ

And hesaww has instructed me with the supplication by themasws during myra difficulties, and myra worries, and myra needs. And hesaww promised mera that hesaww would not instruct mera with anything –Ira would believe in it, being in hissaww obedience - except that Ira would accomplish it, even if hesaww were to order mera to drop the sky to the earth, or raise the earths to the skies, myra Lordazwj would strengthen myra body with these two thin legs of mine’.

فَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ كَلَّا وَ اللَّهِ يَا عَمَّارُ مُحَمَّدٌ أَقَلُّ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ أَوْضَعُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا أَرْبَعُونَ مُنَافِقاً

The Jew said, ‘Never! By Allahazwj, O Ammarra! Muhammadsaww is less in the Presence of Allahazwj than that, and youra are more humble in the Presence of Allahazwj and the presence of Muhammadsaww than that. No, and you are not even (able to lift) a rock wherein were forty hypocrites’.

فَقَامَ عَمَّارٌ عَنْهُمْ وَ قَالَ لَقَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ حُجَّةَ رَبِّي وَ نَصَحْتُ لَكُمْ وَ لَكِنَّكُمْ لِلنَّصِيحَةِ كَارِهُونَ

Ammarra stood up from him and said, ‘Ira have delivered to you the proof of myra Lordazwj and advised to you, but, you are averse to the advice’.

وَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَا عَمَّارُ قَدْ وَصَلَ إِلَيَّ خَبَرُكُمَا أَمَّا حُذَيْفَةُ فَرَّ بِدِينِهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ فَهُوَ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ

And hera came over to Rasool-Allahsaww. So Rasool-Allahsaww said to himra: ‘O Ammar! The news of both of youra has been transmitted to mesaww. As for Huzeyfara, so he fled with hisra Religion, from the Satanla and hisla friends, therefore hera is from the righteous servants of Allahazwj.

وَ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا عَمَّارُ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ نَاضَلْتَ‏ عَنْ دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ نَصَحْتَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَنْتَ مِنَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْفَاضِلِينَ

And as for youra, O Ammarra! So youra have defended on behalf of the Religion of Allahazwj, and advised for Muhammadsaww, Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, therefore you are from the fighters in the Way of Allahazwj, the meritorious ones’.

فَبَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَمَّارٌ يَتَحَادَثَانِ إِذَا حَضَرَتِ الْيَهُودُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا كَلَّمُوهُ فَقَالُوا يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَا صَاحِبُكَ يَزْعُمُ‏ أَنَّهُ إِنْ أَمَرْتَهُ بِحَطِّ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أَوْ رَفْعِ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَاعْتَقَدَ طَاعَتَكَ وَ عَزَمَ عَلَى الِايتِمَارِ لَكَ لَأَعَانَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ نَحْنُ نَقْتَصِرُ مِنْكَ وَ مِنْهُ عَلَى مَا هُوَ دُونَ هَذَا

While Rasool-Allahsaww and Ammarra were discussing, the Jews came over, those who had spoken to himra, and they said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! This companion of yourssaww is claiming that yousaww were to instruct himra to raise the earth to the sky, or drop the sky to the earth, and he believes, being in yoursaww obedience, and determines upon the submission to yousaww – Allahazwj would Assist him upon it. And we are reducing from yousaww and from himra upon what he is below this.

إِنْ كُنْتَ نَبِيّاً فَقَدْ قَنِعْنَا أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَمَّارٌ مَعَ دِقَّةِ سَاقَيْهِ هَذَا الْحَجَرَ وَ كَانَ الْحَجَرُ مَطْرُوحاً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِظَاهِرِ الْمَدِينَةِ يَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ مِائَتَا رَجُلٍ لِيُحَرِّكُوهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنْ رَامَ احْتِمَالَهُ لَمْ يُحَرِّكْهُ وَ لَوْ حَمَلَ فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ لَانْكَسَرَتْ سَاقَاهُ وَ تَهَدَّمَ جِسْمُهُ

If yousaww were a Prophetsaww, then it would convince us if Ammarra would carry with the thin legs of his, this rock’. And the rock was standing there in front of the Prophetsaww at the back part of Al-Medina. Two hundred men had gathered upon it, in order to move it, but they were not able to. So they said to himsaww, ‘O Muhammadsaww! If hera wishes to carry it, hera would not be able to (even) move it, and if hera were to carry that upon him, it would break hisra legs, and hisra body would be crushed’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَحْتَقِرُوا سَاقَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُمَا أَثْقَلُ فِي مِيزَانِ حَسَنَاتِهِ مِنْ ثَوْرٍ وَ ثَبِيرٍ وَ حِرَاءَ وَ أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ بَلْ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا وَ مَا عَلَيْهَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ خَفَّفَ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ مَا هُوَ أَثْقَلُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ خَفَّفَ الْعَرْشَ عَلَى كَوَاهِلِ ثَمَانِيَةٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ بَعْدَ أَنْ كَانَ لَا يُطِيقُهُ مَعَهُمُ الْعَدَدُ الْكَثِيرُ وَ الْجَمُّ الْغَفِيرُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Do not belittle hisra legs, for they would be heavier in the scale of hisra good deeds than (the mountains of) Sowr, and Sabeyr, and Hira’a, and Abu Qubays, but (heavier) than the earth, all of it and whatever is upon it. And it is so that Allahazwj had Lightened, due to the Salawat upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws, what is heavier than this rock. Heazwj Lightened the Throne upon the shoulders of eight from Hisazwj Angels – after it could not be endured by a large number, and the multitude (of the Angels)’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَمَّارُ اعْتَقِدْ طَاعَتِي وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ بِجَاهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ‏ الطَّيِّبِينَ قَوِّنِي لِيُسَهِّلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ‏ مَا أَمَرَكَ بِهِ كَمَا سَهَّلَ عَلَى كَالِبِ بْنِ يُوحَنَّا عُبُورَ الْبَحْرِ عَلَى مَتْنِ الْمَاءِ وَ هُوَ عَلَى فَرَسِهِ يَرْكُضُ عَلَيْهِ بِسُؤَالِهِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بِجَاهِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Ammar! Believe in mysaww obedience, and say, ‘O Allahazwj! By the virtue of Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws, Strengthen mera!’ in order to Allahazwj for to Ease for you what Isaww instructed youra with – just as Heazwj Eased upon Kalb Bin Youhanna to cross the sea – upon the surface of the water, and he was upon his horse – galloping over it due to his asking Allahazwj by oursaww virtue, the Peopleasws of the Household’.

فَقَالَهَا عَمَّارٌ وَ اعْتَقَدَهَا فَحَمَلَ الصَّخْرَةَ فَوْقَ رَأْسِهِ وَ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً هِيَ أَخَفُّ فِي يَدِي مِنْ خِلَالَةٍ أُمْسِكُهَا بِهَا

Ammarra said it, and believed it, and hera carried the rock above hisra head, and said, ‘By myra father and myra mother (being sacrificed for) yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! By the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww – it is lighter in my hands than a particle (of dust)!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَلِّقْ بِهَا فِي الْهَوَاءِ فَسَتَبْلُغُ بِهَا قُلَّةَ ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى جَبَلٍ بَعِيدٍ عَلَى قَدْرِ فَرْسَخٍ فَرَمَى بِهَا عَمَّارٌ وَ تَحَلَّقَتْ فِي الْهَوَاءِ حَتَّى انْحَطَّتْ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ ذَلِكَ الْجَبَلِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Circle around the Jews with it, and deliver it to the peak of that mountain’ – and hesaww gestured towards a remote mountain upon a measurement of a Farsakh (about 3 miles) – and Ammarra threw it, and it flew in the air until it settled upon the peak of that mountain.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلْيَهُودِ أَ وَ رَأَيْتُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said to the Jews: ‘And did you all see that?’ They said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَمَّارُ قُمْ إِلَى ذِرْوَةِ الْجَبَلِ فَتَجِدُ هُنَاكَ صَخْرَةً أَضْعَافَ مَا كَانَتْ‏ فَاحْتَمِلْهَا وَ أَعِدْهَا إِلَى حَضْرَتِي

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Ammarra! Arise to go to the peak of the mountain, for you would find over there a rock, double (the size) it was. Carry it and return it to mysaww presence’.

فَخَطَا عَمَّارٌ خُطْوَةً فَطُوِيَتْ لَهُ الْأَرْضُ وَ وَضَعَ قَدَمَيْهِ فِي الْخُطْوَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ عَلَى ذِرْوَةِ الْجَبَلِ وَ تَنَاوَلَ الصَّخْرَةَ الْمُضَاعَفَةَ وَ عَادَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِالْخُطْوَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ

Ammarra took a step and the ground folded for him, and placed hisra foot in the second step upon the peak of the mountain, and grabbed the rock, the double (in size) and returned to Rasool-Allahsaww with the third step.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَمَّارٍ اضْرِبْ‏ بِهَا الْأَرْضَ ضَرْبَةً شَدِيدَةً فَتَهَابَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَ خَافُوا فَضَرَبَ بِهَا عَمَّارٌ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَتَفَتَّتَتْ حَتَّى صَارَتْ كَالْهَبَاءِ الْمَنْثُورِ وَ تَلَاشَتْ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said to Ammarra: ‘Strike the ground with it by an intense striking!’ So the Jews fled and were afraid, and Ammarra struck the ground with it, and it disintegrated until it became like floating durst and faded away.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص آمِنُوا أَيُّهَا الْيَهُودُ فَقَدْ شَاهَدْتُمْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَآمَنَ بَعْضُهُمْ وَ غَلَبَ الشَّقَاءُ عَلَى بَعْضِهِمْ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Believe, O you Jews, for you have witnessed the Signs of Allahazwj!’ Some of them believed, but wretchedness overcame upon some.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ تَدْرُونَ مَعَاشِرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَا مَثَلُ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ فَقَالُوا لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Are you knowing, community of Jews, what resembles this rock?’ They said, ‘No, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا تَكُونُ لَهُمْ ذُنُوبٌ وَ خَطَايَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ جِبَالِ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْأَرْضِ كُلِّهَا وَ السَّمَاءِ أَضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتُوبَ وَ يُجَدِّدَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَلَايَتَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا كَانَ قَدْ ضَرَبَ بِذُنُوبِهِ الْأَرْضَ أَشَدَّ مِنْ ضَرْبِ عَمَّارٍ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةَ بِالْأَرْضِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Send mesaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww – if a man from oursaww Shias happens to have sins for him and mistakes – greater than a mountain of the earth, and from the whole of the earth – and the sky by a large multiple, so he would not be except if he were to repent, and renew upon himself oursaww Wilayah of the Peopleasws of the Household, except his sins would be struck upon the ground more severely than the striking by Ammarra of this rock with the ground.

وَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا يَكُونُ لَهُ طَاعَاتٌ كَالسَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْبِحَارِ فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكْفُرَ بِوَلَايَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ حَتَّى يَكُونَ ضَرَبَ بِهَا الْأَرْضَ أَشَدَّ مِنْ ضَرْبِ عَمَّارٍ لِهَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ بِالْأَرْضِ وَ تَتَلَاشَى وَ تَتَفَتَّتُ كَتَفَتُّتِ هَذِهِ الصَّخْرَةِ فَيَرِدُ الْآخِرَةَ وَ لَا يَجِدُ حَسَنَةً وَ ذُنُوبُهُ أَضْعَافُ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ فَيُشَدَّدُ حِسَابُهُ وَ يَدُومُ عَذَابُهُ

And if a man happens to have (acts of) obedience for him like the skies and the earths, and the mountains, and the oceans, so he would not be except, if he were to do Kufr with oursaww Wilayah of the Peopleasws of the Household, until these would be struck upon the ground more severely than the striking by Ammarra for this rock upon the ground, and these would fade away and disintegrate like the disintegration of this rock. So he would return to the Hereafter and he would not find a (single) good deed, and his sins would be doubled the mountains, and the earth, and the sky. Thus, his Reckoning would be severe and his Punishment perpetual (everlasting)’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَأَى عَمَّارٌ بِنَفْسِهِ تِلْكَ الْقُوَّةَ الَّتِي جَلَدَ بِهَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ تِلْكَ الصَّخْرَةَ فَتَفَتَّتَتْ أَخَذَتْهُ أُرَيْحِيَّةٌ وَ قَالَ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُجَادِلْ بِهَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْيَهُودَ فَأَقْتُلَهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ بِمَا أُعْطِيتُهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقُوَّةِ

He (Imam Hassan Al-Askariasws) said: ‘When Ammarra saw with himself that strength by which he flogged that rock upon the ground so it crumbled, and a sense of pride seized himra and hera said, ‘Do yousaww permit mera, O Rasool-Allahsaww, that Ira flog these Jews and kill them all with what Ira have been Given from this strength?’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَمَّارُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ‏ فَاعْفُوا وَ اصْفَحُوا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ اللَّهُ بِأَمْرِهِ‏ بِعَذَابِهِ وَ يَأْتِيَ بِفَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَ سَائِرِ مَا وَعَدَهُ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Ammarra! Allahazwj the Exalted is saying: ‘But, be pardoning and overlooking, until Allah Comes with His Command. [2:109] – with Hisazwj Punishment, and Comes with the Conquest of Makkah and the rest of whatever Heazwj has Promised’’.³⁹⁸

50- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام‏ وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ ابْتِغاءَ مَرْضاتِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ رَؤُفٌ بِالْعِبادِ

Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws - And from the people there is one who sells his self, seeking the Pleasure of Allah; and Allah is Affectionate with the servants [2:207].

قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع‏ وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْرِي نَفْسَهُ‏ يَبِيعُهَا ابْتِغاءَ مَرْضاتِ اللَّهِ‏ فَيَعْمَلُ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ يَأْمُرُ النَّاسَ بِهَا وَ يَصْبِرُ عَلَى مَا يَلْحَقُهُ مِنَ الْأَذَى فِيهَا فَيَكُونُ كَمَنْ بَاعَ نَفْسَهُ وَ سَلَّمَهَا بِرِضَى اللَّهِ‏ عِوَضاً مِنْهَا فَلَا يُبَالِي مَا حَلَّ بِهَا بَعْدَ أَنْ يَحْصُلَ لَهَا رِضَى رَبِّهَا وَ اللَّهُ رَؤُفٌ بِالْعِبادِ كُلِّهِمْ

The Imamasws said: ‘The Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) said: ‘And from the people there is one who sells his self - heasws is selling it, seeking Pleasure of Allah – Mighty and Majestic. So heasws works in the obedience of Allahazwj, and heasws instructs the people with it (as well), and heasws is patient upon what heasws faces from the harm during it. Thus, heasws becomes like one who sold himself, and submitted himself to the Pleasure of Allahazwj instead of himself, therefore heasws does not care what happens with it after having achieved the Pleasure of its Lordazwj, and Allah is Affectionate with the servants [2:207] – all of them.

أَمَّا الطَّالِبُونَ لِرِضَاهُ فَيُبْلِغُهُمْ أَقْصَى أَمَانِيِّهِمْ وَ يَزِيدُهُمْ عَلَيْهَا مَا لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ آمَالُهُمْ وَ أَمَّا الْفَاجِرُونَ فِي دِينِهِ فَيَتَأَنَّاهُ وَ يَرْفُقُ بِهِمْ وَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ وَ لَا يَمْنَعُ‏ مَنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ سَيَتُوبُ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِ التَّوْبَةَ الْمُوجِبَةَ لَهُ عَظِيمَ كَرَامَتِهِ

As for the seekers of Hisazwj Pleasure, so Heazwj Gives them the maximum of their aspiration, and Increases them upon it what their deeds did not reach upon. And as for the immoral ones in Hisazwj Religion, so Heazwj is Patient with them and is Kind with them, and Invites them to Hisazwj obedience, and does not Cut off from the Knowledge that he would be repenting from his sins, the repentance which would Obligate for him Hisazwj great Prestige’’.

قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع هَؤُلَاءِ خِيَارٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَذَّبَهُمْ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ لِيَفْتِنُوهُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِمْ مِنْهُمْ بِلَالٌ وَ صُهَيْبٌ وَ خَبَّابٌ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَ أَبَوَاهُ فَأَمَّا بِلَالٌ اشْتَرَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ بِعَبْدَيْنِ لَهُ أَسْوَدَيْنِ وَ رَجَعَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَكَانَ تَعْظِيمُهُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع أَضْعَافَ تَعْظِيمِهِ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ

And they were from the best of the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww, being hurt by the people of Makkah in order to try them about their Religion – among them were Bilalra, and Suheyb, and Khabbab, and Ammar Bin Yasserra and hisra parents. As for Bilalra, Abu Bakr Bin Abu Quhafa had bought himra by (in exchange of) two black slaves of his, and hera returned to the Prophetsaww. And it was so that hisra reverence to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws was a multiple of hisra reverence to Abu Bakr.

فَقَالَ الْمُفْسِدُونَ يَا بِلَالُ كَفَرْتَ النِّعْمَةَ وَ نَقَضْتَ تَرْتِيبَ الْفَضْلِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَوْلَاكَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاكَ وَ أَعْتَقَكَ وَ أَنْقَذَكَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَ رَدَّ عَلَيْكَ نَفْسَكَ وَ كَسْبَكَ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ بِكَ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذَا وَ أَنْتَ تُوَقِّرُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيّاً بِمَا لَا تُوَقِّرُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ إِنَّ هَذَا كُفْرُ النِّعْمَةِ وَ جَهْلٌ بِالتَّرْتِيبِ‏

So the corrupters said, ‘O Bilalra! You are doing Kufr of the Bounty, and you are breaking the sequence of the preference. Abu Bakr is yourra master who bought youra and freed youra, and saved youra from the punishment, and gave yourself (dignity to you) and yourra earnings, whereas Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws did not do anything from these with youra, and youra are revering Abu Al-Hassan Aliasws with what youra are not revering Abu Bakr with. This is Kufr of the Bounty and ignoring the sequential order!’

فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ أَ فَيَلْزَمُنِي أَنْ أُوَقِّرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَوْقَ تَوْقِيرِي لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالُوا مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ

Bilalra said, ‘Are you imposing upon mera that I should revere Abu Bakr above my reverence for Rasool-Allahsaww?’ They said, ‘Allahazwj Forbid!’

قَالَ قَدْ خَالَفَ قَوْلُكُمْ هَذَا قَوْلَكُمُ الْأَوَّلَ‏ إِنْ كَانَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أُفَضِّلَ عَلِيّاً عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْتَقَنِي فَكَذَلِكَ لَا يَجُوزُ لِي أَنْ أُفَضِّلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِأَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَعْتَقَنِي

Hera said, ‘These words of yours have opposed these former words of yours. If it was not allowed that Ira prefer Aliasws over Abu Bakr because Abu Bakr freed me, similar to that it would not be allowed that Ira prefer Rasool-Allahsaww over Abu Bakr, because Abu Bakr freed mera’.

قَالُوا لَا سَوَاءٌ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ قَالَ بِلَالٌ وَ لَا سَوَاءٌ أَيْضاً أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عَلِيٌّ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً نَفْسُ أَفْضَلِ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ أَيْضاً أَفْضَلُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهِ وَ أَحَبُّ الْخَلْقِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لِأَكْلِهِ الطَّيْرَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الَّذِي دَعَا اللَّهُمَ‏ ائْتِنِي بِأَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُوَ أَشْبَهُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ بِرَسُولِهِ لِمَا جَعَلَهُ أَخَاهُ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ

They said, ‘It is not the same. Rasool-Allahsaww is the most superior of the creatures of Allahazwj’. Bilalra said, ‘And they are not the same as well, Abu Bakr and Aliasws. Aliasws, heasws is a soul of the most superior of the creatures of Allahazwj, and heasws as well is the most superior of the creatures of Allahazwj after Hisazwj Prophetsaww and the most beloved of the creatures to Allahazwj the Exalted – for hisasws eating the bird with Rasool-Allahsaww which hesaww supplicated: ‘O Allahazwj! Come to mesaww with the most Beloved of the creatures to Youazwj!’, and heasws is the most resembling of the creatures of Allahazwj with Rasool-Allahsaww due to himasws having been made to be hissaww brother in the Religion of Allahazwj.

وَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَا يَلْتَمِسُ مِنِّي مَا تَلْتَمِسُونَ لِأَنَّهُ يَعْرِفُ مِنْ فَضْلِ عَلِيٍّ مَا تَجْهَلُونَ أَيْ يَعْرِفُ أَنَّ حَقَّ عَلِيٍّ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حَقِّهِ لِأَنَّهُ أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ رِقِّ الْعَذَابِ الَّذِي لَوْ دَامَ عَلَيَّ وَ صَبَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ لَصِرْتُ إِلَى جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ رِقِّ عَذَابِ الْأَبَدِ وَ أَوْجَبَ لِي بِمُوَالاتيِ لَهُ وَ تَفْضِيلِي إِيَّاهُ نَعِيمَ الْأَبَدِ

And Abu Bakr (himself) does not seek from mera what you are seeking, because he knows from the merits of Aliasws what you are ignorant of – i.e. he knows that the right of Aliasws is greater than his own right, because heasws saved mera from the yoke of Punishment – which, if it had been perpetuated upon mera and Ira had been patient upon it – Ira would have come to be to the Gardens of Eden, and Aliasws would have saved mera from the yoke of eternal Punishment, and it would have been obligated for mera due to my Wilayah for himasws and myra preferring himasws, eternal Bliss’.

وَ أَمَّا صُهَيْبٌ فَقَالَ أَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ كُنْتُ مَعَكُمْ أَوْ عَلَيْكُمْ فَخُذُوا مَالِي وَ دَعُونِي وَ دِينِي فَأَخَذُوا مَالَهُ وَ تَرَكُوهُ

Heasws said: ‘And as for Suheyb, so he said, ‘I am an old man. It does not harm me whether I was with you or against you. So take my wealth and leave me and my Religion’. They took his wealth and left him.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا صُهَيْبُ‏ كَمْ كَانَ مَالُكَ الَّذِي سَلَّمْتَهُ قَالَ سَبْعَةَ آلَافٍ قَالَ طَابَتْ نَفْسُكَ بِتَسْلِيمِهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَوْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا كُلُّهَا ذَهَبَةً حَمْرَاءَ لَجَعَلْتُهَا عِوَضاً عَنْ نَظْرَةٍ أَنْظُرُهَا إِلَيْكَ وَ نَظْرَةٍ أَنْظُرُهَا إِلَى أَخِيكَ وَ وَصِيِّكَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him, when he came over to himsaww: ‘O Suheyb! How much was your wealth which you submitted?’ He said, ‘Seven thousand’. Hesaww said: ‘Feel good with yourself for submitting it’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! By the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww – even if the world, all of it was red gold, I would have made it to be instead of one look I look at yousaww, and one look I look are yoursaww brotherasws and yoursaww successorasws Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا صُهَيْبُ قَدْ أَعْجَزْتَ‏ خُزَّانَ الْجِنَانِ عَنْ إِحْصَاءِ مَا لَكَ فِيهَا بِمَالِكَ هَذَا وَ اعْتِقَادِكَ فَلَا يُحْصِيهَا إِلَّا خَالِقُهَا

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Suheyb! The treasures of the Gardens are frustrated from counting what is for you therein due to this wealth of yourself and your belief. So none can count it except its Creator’.

وَ أَمَّا خَبَّابُ بْنُ الْأَرَتِّ فَكَانُوا قَدْ قَيَّدُوهُ بِقَيْدٍ وَ غُلٍّ فَدَعَا اللَّهَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الطَّيِّبِينَ مِنْ آلِهِمَا فَحَوَّلَ اللَّهُ الْقَيْدَ فَرَساً رَكِبَهُ وَ حَوَّلَ الْغُلَّ سَيْفاً بِحَمَائِلَ يُقَلِّدُهُ فَخَرَجَ عَنْهُمْ مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ

And as for Khabbab Bin Al-Arat, so they had shackled him with (iron) handcuffs and collar. He supplicated to Allahazwj the Exalted by Muhammadsaww and Aliasws, and theirasws goodly Progenyasws, and Allahazwj the Exalted Transformed the handcuffs into a riding horse, and Transformed the collar into a collared sword, so he came out from them, from their deeds.

فَلَمَّا رَأَوْا مَا ظَهَرَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ آيَاتِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يَجْسُرْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَقْرَبَهُ وَ جَرَّدَ سَيْفَهُ وَ قَالَ مَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَقْرُبْ فَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا أَنْ لَا أُصِيبَ بِسَيْفِي أَبَا قُبَيْسٍ إِلَّا قَدَدْتُهُ نِصْفَيْنِ فَضْلًا عَنْكُمْ فَتَرَكُوهُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

When they saw what had appeared upon him from the Signs of Muhammadsaww, no one had the audacity to come near him. And he unsheathed his sword and said, ‘Whoever desires to, so let him come closer, for I have asked Himazwj by Muhammadsaww and Aliasws that (even mount) Abu Qubays would not be hit by my sword except it would split into two halves, excess from you all’. So they left him, and he came over to Rasool-Allahsaww’.

وَ أَمَّا يَاسِرٌ وَ أُمُّ عَمَّارٍ فَقُتِلَا فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ‏ وَ صَبَرَا

And as for Yasser (father of Ammarra) and mother of Ammarra, so they were both killed, while being patient.

وَ أَمَّا عَمَّارٌ فَكَانَ أَبُو جَهْلٍ يُعَذِّبُهُ فَضَيَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ خَاتَمَهُ فِي إِصْبَعِهِ حَتَّى أَصْرَعَهُ وَ أَذَلَّهُ وَ ثَقُلَ عَلَيْهِ [وَ] قَمِيصُهُ‏ حَتَّى صَارَ أَثْقَلَ مِنْ بَدَنَاتِ حَدِيدٍ قَالَ لِعَمَّارٍ خَلِّصْنِي مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا مِنْ عَمَلِ صَاحِبِكَ

And as for Ammarra, Abu Jahlla used to torment himra, so Allahazwj Constricted hisla ring in hisla finger until hela was humiliated and disgraced, and hisla was heavy upon himla until it came to be heavier than an iron coat of mail. So hela said to Ammarra, ‘Finish mela off from what Ila am in, for it is not except from a deed of yourra mastersaww’.

فَخَلَعَ خَاتَمَهُ مِنْ إِصْبَعِهِ وَ قَمِيصَهُ مِنْ بَدَنِهِ وَ قَالَ الْبَسْهُ وَ لَا أَرَاكَ بِمَكَّةَ يَعِيهَا عَلَيَّ فَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ

So hisla ring freed from hisla finger and (so did) hisla shirt from hisla body, and hela said, ‘Wear it, and Ila should not see youra in Makkah constricting these upon mela, and leave to go to Muhammadsaww’.

فَقِيلَ لِعَمَّارٍ مَا بَالُ خَبَّابٍ نَجَا بِتِلْكَ الْآيَةِ وَ أَبَوَاكَ أُسْلِمَا لِلْعَذَابِ حَتَّى قُتِلَا قَالَ عَمَّارٌ ذَاكَ حُكْمُ مَنْ أَنْقَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ امْتَحَنَ بِالْقَتْلِ يَحْيَى وَ زَكَرِيَّا

It was said to Ammarra, ‘What is the matter Khabbab was rescued with that Sign and yourra father submitted to the punishment until he was killed?’ Ammarra said, ‘That is a Decision of the Oneazwj Who Saved Ibrahimas from the fire, and Tested Yahyaas Bin Zakariyyaas with the killing’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْتَ مِنْ كِبَارِ الْفُقَهَاءِ يَا عَمَّارُ فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ حَسْبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ مَعْرِفَتِي بِأَنَّكَ رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ سَيِّدُ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ أَنَّ أَخَاكَ عَلِيّاً وَصِيُّكَ وَ خَلِيفَتُكَ وَ خَيْرُ مَنْ تُخَلِّفُهُ بَعْدَكَ وَ أَنَّ الْقَوْلَ الْحَقَّ قَوْلُكَ وَ قَوْلُهُ وَ الْفِعْلَ الْحَقَّ فِعْلُكَ وَ فِعْلُهُ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا وَفَّقَنِي لِمُوَالاتِكُمَا وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَعْدَائِكُمَا إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مَعَكُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Youra are from the great jurists (Fuqaha) O Ammarra!’ So Ammarra said, ‘It suffices mera, O Rasool-Allahsaww, from the knowledge – myra recognition that yousaww are a Rasoolsaww of the Lordazwj of the worlds, and Chief of the creatures in their entirety, and that yoursaww brother Aliasws is yoursaww successor and yoursaww Caliph, and the best on to replace yousaww after yousaww, and that the word of truth is yoursaww word and hisasws word, and the right deed is yoursaww deed and hisasws deed, and that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic did not Incline mera to both yourasws Wilayah and the enmity to yourasws enemies, except and Heazwj has Intended to Make mera to be with youasws both, in the world and the Hereafter’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هُوَ كَمَا قُلْتَ يَا عَمَّارُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُؤَيِّدُ بِكَ الدِّينَ وَ يَقْطَعُ بِكَ مَعَاذِيرَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ يُوضِحُ بِكَ عَنْ عِنَادِ الْمُعَانِدِينَ إِذَا قَتَلَتْكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ عَلَى الْمُحِقِّينَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘It is as you say it to be, O Ammarra! Allahazwj would be Aiding the Religion by youra and Cutting off the excuses of the heedless ones by youra, and Clarifying the enmity of the enemies by youra – when a rebellious group would be killing you against the rightful ones’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَمَّارُ بِالْعِلْمِ نِلْتَ مَا نِلْتَ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَضْلِ فَازْدَدْ مِنْهُ تَزْدَدْ فَضْلًا فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ نَادَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْعَرْشِ مَرْحَباً يَا عَبْدِي أَ تَدْرِي أَيَّ مَنْزِلَةٍ تَطْلُبُ وَ أَيَّةَ دَرَجَةٍ تَرُومُ تُضَاهِي مَلَائِكَتِيَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ لِتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قَرِيناً لَأُبَلِّغَنَّكَ مُرَادَكَ وَ لَأُوصِلَنَّكَ بِحَاجَتِكَ‏.

Then hesaww said to himra: ‘O Ammarra! With the knowledge you achieved what youra have achieved from these merits, therefore increase from it the increased merits, for the servant, when he goes out seeking the knowledge – Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Calls out to him from above the Throne: “Congratulations, O Myazwj servant! Do you know which status you are seeking, and which level you are wishing for? It resembles (that of) Myazwj Angels of Proximity in order to be a pairing for them. Iazwj shall Make you reach your goal and will Help you to fulfil your needs”.³⁹⁹

(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – ‘Ibn Aqwlawiya, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Bin Idrees both together, from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Al Husayn Bin Nasr Bin Muzahim, from his father, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Iasws heard Jabir Bin abdullah Bin Hizam Al-Ansary saying, ‘If Salmanra and Abu Zarrra were to be Resurrected (today) to these ones who are arrogating yourasws cordiality of the Peopleasws of the Household, theyra would both say, ‘They are liars!’, and if these were to see those two, they would said, ‘Two madmen’’.⁴⁰⁰

52- ضه، روضة الواعظين قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَشْتَاقُ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى عَمَّارٍ وَ سَلْمَانَ وَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادِ.

(The book) ‘Rowzat Al-Waizeen – ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! The Paradise is desirous to youasws, and to Ammarra, and Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra and Al-Miqdadra’’.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ الْإِيمَانُ عَشْرُ دَرَجَاتٍ فَالْمِقْدَادُ فِي الثَّامِنَةِ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فِي التَّاسِعَةِ وَ سَلْمَانُ فِي الْعَاشِرَةِ.

And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The Eman has ten levels. Al-Miqdadra is in the eight, and Abu Zarrra in the ninth, and Salmanra in the tenth (highest)’’.

وَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ‏ رَأَيْتُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي مَنَامِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُ سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانَ فَقُلْتُ أَ لَسْتَ مَوْلَى النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ بَلَى وَ إِذَا عَلَيْهِ تَاجٌ مِنْ يَاقُوتٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ حُلِيٌّ وَ حُلَلٌ فَقُلْتُ يَا سَلْمَانُ هَذِهِ مَنْزِلَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ أَعْطَاكَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ

And Ibn Abbas said, ‘I saw Salman Al-Farsira in my dream, and I said to himra, ‘Salmanra?’ Hera said, ‘Salmanra’. I said, ‘Aren’t you a slave of the Prophetsaww?’ Hera said, ‘Yes’, and there was a crown of rubies upon himra, and upon himra was a garment and ornaments’. I said, ‘O Salmanra! This is an excellent status Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Given you’. Hera said, ‘Yes’.

فَقُلْتُ فَمَا ذَا رَأَيْتَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَفْضَلَ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ هُوَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ حُبِّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ الِاقْتِدَاءِ بِهِ.

I said, ‘So how come I see youra in the Paradise as superior after the Eman with Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww?’ Hera said, ‘In the Paradise, after the Eman with Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww anything superior than love for Ali Bin Abu Talibasws and the following himasws’’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَأَشْوَقُ إِلَى سَلْمَانَ مِنْ سَلْمَانَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ لَأَعْشَقُ لِسَلْمَانَ مِنْ سَلْمَانَ‏ لِلْجَنَّةِ.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Paradise is more yearning to Salmanra than Salmanra is to the Paradise, and the Paradise more desirous to Salmanra than Salmanra is for the Paradise’’.

قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع‏ جَاءَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ وَ غَيْرُهُمْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ وَ أَوْلَاهُمْ بِالنَّبِيِّ ص هَلُمَّ يَدَكَ نُبَايِعْكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَنَمُوتَنَّ قُدَّامَكَ

Al-Baqirasws said: ‘The Emigrants and the Helpers and others came after that to Aliasws and they said to himasws, ‘By Allahazwj, youasws are the Emir of the Momineen, and by Allahazwj youasws are most rightful of the people and their foremost with the Prophetsaww. Give yourasws hand, we will pledge allegiance to youasws. By Allahazwj! We will die at yourasws feet’.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ فَاغْدُوا عَلَيَّ غَداً مُحَلِّقِينَ فَحَلَقَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ حَلَقَ سَلْمَانُ وَ حَلَقَ مِقْدَادٌ وَ حَلَقَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ لَمْ يَحْلِقْ غَيْرُهُمْ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفُوا فَجَاءُوا مَرَّةً أُخْرَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالُوا لَهُ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ وَ أَوْلَاهُمْ بِالنَّبِيِّ ص هَلُمَّ يَدَكَ نُبَايِعْكَ وَ حَلَفُوا

Aliasws said: ‘If you are truthful then come to measws tomorrow with shaved heads’. Aliasws shaved hisasws head and Salmanra shaved, and Miqdadra shaved, and Abu Zarrra shaved, and others did not shave. Then they left. Then, they came to himasws another time after that and said to himasws, ‘By Allahazwj! Youasws are Emir of the Momineenasws and youasws are the most rightful of the people and their foremost with the Prophetsaww. Give yourasws hand, we will pledge allegiance to youasws’. And they took oath.

فَقَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صَادِقِينَ فَاغْدُوا عَلَيَّ مُحَلِّقِينَ فَمَا حَلَقَ إِلَّا هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةُ

Heasws said: ‘If you are truthful then come to measws tomorrow shaved of head’. But no one shaved except these three’.

قُلْتُ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْهُمْ عَمَّارٌ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَعَمَّارٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ عَمَّاراً قَدْ قَاتَلَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ ع.

I said, ‘Ammarra was not among them?’ Heasws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘So Ammarra is from the people of the Fire?’ Heasws said: ‘Ammarra had fought alongside Aliasws’’.

قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع‏ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ أَيْنَ حَوَارِيُّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَنْقُضُوا الْعَهْدَ وَ مَضَوْا عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُومُ سَلْمَانُ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ

Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws said, ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a caller will call out: ‘Where are the disciples of Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas, Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, those who did not break the Covenant and continued upon it?’ So, Salmanra, and Al-Miqdadra, and Abu Zarrra will stand.

ثُمَّ يُنَادِي أَيْنَ حَوَارِيُّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَصِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَيَقُومُ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَمِقِ الْخُزَاعِيُّ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ مِيثَمُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التَّمَّارُ مَوْلَى بَنِي أَسَدٍ وَ أُوَيْسٌ الْقَرَنِيُّ.

Then he will call out: ‘Where are the disciples of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, successorasws of Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas, Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj?’ So, Amro Bin Al-Hamqi Al-Khuzaie, and Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr, and Meesam Bin Yahya Al-Tammar salve of clan of Asad, and Uweys Al-Qarny will stand’’.

وَ قِيلَ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا تَقُولُ فِي عَمَّارٍ قَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ عَمَّاراً ثَلَاثاً قَاتَلَ مَعَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قُتِلَ شَهِيداً

And it was said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘What are youasws saying regarding Ammarra?’ Heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on Ammarra (thrice). Hera fought alongside Amir Al-Momineenasws and died a martyr’.

قَالَ الرَّاوِي فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مَا يَكُونُ مَنْزِلَةٌ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمَنْزِلَةِ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَ قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ تَقُولُ مِثْلَ الثَّلَاثَةِ هَيْهَاتَ هَيْهَاتَ

The reporter said, ‘I said within myself, ‘A status cannot happen to be greater than this status’’. Heasws turned towards me and said: ‘Perhaps you are saying like the three (Salmanra, Abu Zarrra and Al Miqdadra)? Far be it! Far be it!’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا عِلْمُهُ أَنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ‏ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا رَأَى الْحَرْبَ لَا يَزْدَادُ إِلَّا شِدَّةً وَ الْقَتْلَ لَا يُزَادُ إِلَّا كَثْرَةً تَرَكَ الصَّفَّ وَ جَاءَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هُوَ هُوَ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَى صَفِّكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يَقُولُ ارْجِعْ إِلَى صَفِّكَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ

He (the reporter) said, ‘I said, ‘And what made himra know that hera would be killed during that day?’ Heasws said: ‘When hera saw the war not increasing except the difficulties, and the fighting not increasing except more (soldiers) leaving the rows, hera came to Amir Al-Momineenasws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! (This is) it, (this is) it!’ Heasws said: ‘Return to yourra row’. Hera said that to himasws three times, (during) all that heasws said: ‘Return to yourra row’.

قَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى صَفِّهِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ‏

Heasws said to himra: ‘Yes’. So hera returned to hisra row and was saying (in prose), ‘Today Ira shall meet the beloved Muhammadsaww and hissaww party’’.

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ عَمَّارٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِلَبَنٍ فَضَحِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص آخِرُ شَرَابٍ تَشْرَبُهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا مَذْقَةٌ مِنْ لَبَنٍ.

And it is reported that on that day Ammarra was brought milk and hera laughed, then said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to mera: ‘The last drink youra will drink from the world would be a taste of milk’’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَشْتَاقُ‏ إِلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّلَاثَةُ قَالَ أَنْتَ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ أَوَّلُهُمْ وَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ فَإِنَّهُ قَلِيلُ الْكِبْرِ وَ هُوَ لَكَ نَاصِحٌ فَاتَّخِذْهُ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ يَشْهَدُ مَعَكَ مَشَاهِدَ غَيْرَ وَاحِدَةٍ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا وَ هُوَ كَثِيرٌ خَيْرُهُ ضَيِّئٌ نُورُهُ‏ عَظِيمٌ أَجْرُهُ.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Paradise is desirous to three’. Aliasws said: ‘So, who are these three?’ Hesaww said: ‘Youasws are from them, and youasws are their first one, and Salman Al-Farsira, for hera is of little arrogance and hera is an adviser to youasws so take himra for yourselfasws, and Ammar Bin Yasserra. Hera attended with youasws other than one battle. Hera isn’t from it except and hera is with a lot of good, hisra light is illuminating, great is hisra Recompense’’.

Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘There none from a family members except and from them is a nobleman, and the noblest of the noblemen is from an evil family, Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr’’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ حُذَيْفَةُ بْنُ الْيَمَانِ مِنْ أَصْفِيَاءِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ أَبْصَرُكُمْ بِالْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ مِنَ السَّابِقِينَ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَارِسٌ وَ فَارِسُ الْقُرْآنِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yaman is from the sincere ones of the beneficent, and your most insightful with the Permissible(s) and the Prohibitions; and Ammar Bin Yasserra is from the preceding ones; and Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswadra is from the striving ones (Mujtahideen), and for everything is a knight, and a knight of the Quran is Abdullah Bin Abbas’’.

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ وَ لَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ ذَا لَهْجَةٍ أَصْدَقَ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ يَعِيشُ وَحْدَهُ وَ يَمُوتُ وَحْدَهُ وَ يُبْعَثُ وَحْدَهُ وَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَحْدَهُ.

And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The greenery (of the sky) had not shaded, not has the soil (of the earth) carried one will a tone more truthful than of Abu Zarrra. Hera lived along, and will be Resurrected alone, and will enter the Paradise alone’’.

And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who intends to look at ascetism of Isa Ibn Maryamas, then let him look at Abu Zarrra’’.⁴⁰¹

Al Kafi – Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Imran Bin Musa, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada bin Sadaqa,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘One day the Taqiyyah (dissimulation) was mentioned in the presence of Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws. Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! If Abu Zarrra knew what is in the heart of Salmanra, hera would have killed himra, and (although) Rasool-Allahsaww had established brother-hood between the two.

فَمَا ظَنُّكُمْ بِسَائِرِ الْخَلْقِ إِنَّ عِلْمَ الْعُلَمَاءِ صَعْبٌ مُسْتَصْعَبٌ لَا يَحْتَمِلُهُ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ أَوْ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ أَوْ عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ

So, what are your thought with the rest of the people? The knowledge of the scholarsasws is difficult, becoming more difficult, none can bear it except a Messenger Prophetas, or an Angel of Proximity, or a Momin servant whose heart Allahazwj has Tested for the Eman’.

فَقَالَ وَ إِنَّمَا صَارَ سَلْمَانُ مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ لِأَنَّهُ امْرُؤٌ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَلِذَلِكَ نَسَبْتُهُ إِلَى الْعُلَمَاءِ.

Heasws said: ‘And rather, Salmanra became from the scholars because hera is a person from usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household, therefore due to that weasws attribute himra to the scholars’’.⁴⁰²

Heasws said: ‘Shall Iasws narrate to you with stranger than that? The Emigrants and the Helpers went away except’, and heasws indicate ‘three’ with hisasws hand.

Humran said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! What is the state of Ammarra?’ Heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on Ammarra, Abu Al-Yqazan. Hera pledged allegiance and was killed as a martyr’.

فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مَا شَيْ‏ءٌ أَفْضَلَ مِنَ الشَّهَادَةِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّهُ مِثْلُ الثَّلَاثَةِ أَيْهَاتَ‏ أَيْهَاتَ‏.

Heasws said: ‘What shall Iasws say regarding a man Created from ourasws clay, and hisra soul is paired with ourasws souls. Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Specialised himra from the knowledge with its beginning, and its end, and its apparent, and its esoteric, and its secretive, and its publicised; and Rasool-Allahsaww was present and Salmanra was in front of himsaww, and a Bedouin entered. He moved himra aside from hisra placed and sat in it.

Are you moving aside a man love by Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted in the sky and by Hisazwj Rasoolsaww in the earth? Are you moving aside a man, Jibraeelas did not come to mesaww except heas ordered mesaww on behalf of mysaww Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic to convey himra the greetings?

يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ مِنِّي مَنْ جَفَاهُ فَقَدْ جَفَانِي وَ مَنْ آذَاهُ فَقَدْ آذَانِي وَ مَنْ بَاعَدَهُ فَقَدْ بَاعَدَنِي وَ مَنْ قَرَّبَهُ فَقَدْ قَرَّبَنِي

O Bedouin! Salmanra is from mesaww, one who abandons himra has abandoned mesaww, and one who hurts himra so he has hurt mesaww, and one who distances himra so he has distanced mesaww, and one who draws himra near has drawn mesaww near.

يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ لَا تَغْلَطَنَّ فِي سَلْمَانَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَدْ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُطْلِعَهُ عَلَى عِلْمِ الْمَنَايَا وَ الْبَلَايَا وَ الْأَنْسَابِ وَ فَصْلِ الْخِطَابِ

O Bedouin! Do not be mistaken regarding Salmanra, for Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted has Commanded mesaww to notify himra upon the knowledge of the deaths and the afflictions, and the lineages, and decisive address’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘The Bedouin said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I did not think that it would reach from the deeds of Salmanra what yousaww mentioned. Wasn’t hera a Zoroastrian (fire-worshipper), then became a Muslim?’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ أُخَاطِبُكَ عَنْ رَبِّي وَ تُقَاوِلُنِي إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ مَا كَانَ مَجُوسِيّاً وَ لَكِنَّهُ كَانَ مُظْهِراً لِلشِّرْكِ مُبْطِناً لِلْإِيمَانِ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘O Bedouin! Isaww addressed you from mysaww Lordazwj and you are saying to mesaww that Salmanra was a Zoroastrian, but hera was manifester of the Shirk, hiding the Eman.

O Bedouin! Have you not heard Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Saying: But no! By your Lord! They are not believing until they make you a judge regarding what they are quarrelling between them, then not find any objection within themselves from what you judge and they accept submissively [4:65].

Then Umar entered. He looked at himra and said, ‘Who is this non-Arab presiding in what is between the Arabs?’ So, Rasool-Allahsaww ascended the pulpit and addressed. Hesaww said: ‘Surely, the people are from Adamas up to this day of ours like the teeth of the comb.

ثُمَّ عَرَفَ النَّاسُ بَعْدَ يَسِيرٍ وَ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ دَارَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ الرَّحَى وَ أَبَوْا أَنْ يُبَايِعُوا حَتَّى جَاءُوا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مُكْرَهاً فَبَايَعَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى‏ أَعْقابِكُمْ‏ الْآيَةَ.

Then the people realised after a little while and said, ‘Theyra are those upon whom the mill turned, and theyra refused to pledge allegiance (to Abu Bakr) until they (first) came to Amir Al-Momineenasws and pledge allegiance by coercion, and that is the Word of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; so if he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels?

Kitab Siffeen of Nasr Bin Muzahim – From Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Al Kalby, from Abu Salih,

‘From Ibn Abbas regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And from the people there is one who sells his self, seeking the Pleasure of Allah; and Allah is Affectionate with the servants [2:207]. He said, ‘It was Revealed regarding a man, and he is Suheyb Bin Sinan slave of Abdullah Bin Juz’an. The Polytheists seized him among a group of the Muslims, among them was Khayrun a slave of Quraysh of the clan of A-Hazrami, and Khabbab Bin Al-Arat, salve of Sabit cousin of Anmar and Bilal slave of Abu bakr, and Ayyash salve of Huweytib Bin Abdul Uzza, and Ammar Bin Yasserra, and Abu Ammar, and Sumayya mother of Ammarra.

فَقُتِلَ أَبُو عَمَّارٍ وَ أُمُّ عَمَّارٍ وَ هُمَا أَوَّلُ قَتِيلَيْنِ قُتِلَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ عُذِّبَ الْآخَرُونَ بَعْدَ مَا خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَرَادُوهُمْ عَلَى الْكُفْرِ

Father of Ammarra and mother of Ammarra were killed and they were the first ones to be killed from the Muslims, and the others were tormented after Rasool-Allahsaww went out from Makkah to Al-Medina, and they intended them upon the Kufr.

فَأَمَّا صُهَيْبٌ فَكَانَ شَيْخاً كَبِيراً ذَا مَتَاعٍ فَقَالَ لِلْمُشْرِكِينَ هَلْ لَكُمْ إِلَى خَيْرٍ فَقَالُوا مَا هُوَ قَالَ أَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ضَعِيفٌ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مِنْكُمْ كُنْتُ أَوْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَ قَدْ تَكَلَّمْتُ بِكَلَامٍ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَنْزِلَ عَنْهُ فَهَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَأْخُذُوا مَالِي وَ تَذَرُونِي وَ دِينِي فَفَعَلُوا فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ

As for Suheyb, he was an aged old man with chattels. He said to the Polytheists, ‘Is it for you to be good?’ They said, ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘I am an aged old man, weak. I have not harmed anyone of you, or from your enemies, and you have spoken with a speech I dislike coming down from it. It is for you if you were to take my wealth and leave me and my Religion?’ So, this Verse was Revealed.

فَلَقِيَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حِينَ دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَقَالَ رَبِحَ الْبَيْعُ يَا صُهَيْبُ أَوْ قَالَ وَ بَيْعُكَ لَا يَخْسَرُ وَ قَرَأَ عَلَيْهِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فَفَرِحَ بِهَا

Abu Bakr met him when he entered Al-Medina. He said, ‘You had a profitable sale, O Suheyb!’, or said, ‘And your sale did not incur a loss’, and recited this Verse to him. He was happy with it.

وَ أَمَّا بِلَالٌ وَ خَبَّابٌ وَ عَايِشٌ‏ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ أَصْحَابُهُمْ فَعُذِّبُوا حَتَّى قَالُوا بَعْضَ مَا أَرَادَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ ثُمَّ أُرْسِلُوا فَفِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَ الَّذِينَ هاجَرُوا فِي اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما ظُلِمُوا لَنُبَوِّئَنَّهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ لَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ أَكْبَرُ لَوْ كانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ‏.

And as for Bilal and Khabab and Ayash and Ammarra and their companions, they were tormented until they said part of what the Polytheists wanted. They went, and regarding them this Verse was Revealed: And the ones who emigrate for the Sake of Allah after they are oppressed, We will Give them a good abode in the world, and the Recompense of the Hereafter is greater, if only they knew [16:41]’’.⁴³³ (Opinion)

85- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ خُوطٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا أَخَذَ فِي بِنَاءِ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ ابْنُوا لِي عَرِيشاً كَعَرِيشِ مُوسَى وَ جَعَلَ يُنَاوِلُ اللَّبِنَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ إِلَّا خَيْرُ الْآخِرَةِ فَاغْفِرْ لِلْأَنْصَارِ وَ الْمُهَاجِرَةِ وَ جَعَلَ يَتَنَاوَلُ مِنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ وَ يَقُولُ وَيْحَكَ يَا ابْنَ سُمَيَّةَ تَقْتُلُكَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ.

And from him, from Ayoub Bin Khowt, from Al Hassan,

‘When Rasool-Allahsaww undertook the construction of the Masjid, hesaww said: ‘Build for mesaww a pole like the pole of Musaas’, and went on to take the bricks and hesaww was saying: ‘O Allahazwj! There is no good except food of the Hereafter, so Forgive the Helpers and the Emigrants’, and hesaww went on taking from Ammar Bin Yasserra and saying: ‘Woe be unto you, O son of Sumayya! The rebellious group will kill youra’’.⁴³⁴

Amir Al-Momineenasws said to Salmanra: ‘O Salmanra! O Abu Abdullah! Can youra inform us with the beginning of yourra matter?’ Salmanra said, ‘By Allahazwj, O Amir Al-Momineenasws!

فَبَيْنَا أَنَا سَائِرٌ مَعَ أَبِي فِي عِيدٍ لَهُمْ إِذَا أَنَا بِصَوْمَعَةٍ وَ إِذَا فِيهَا رَجُلٌ يُنَادِي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ عِيسَى رُوحُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ فَرَصُفَ حُبُّ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي لَحْمِي‏ وَ دَمِي فَلَمْ يَهْنِئْنِي طَعَامٌ وَ لَا شَرَابٌ فَقَالَتْ لِي أُمِّي يَا بُنَيَّ مَا لَكَ الْيَوْمَ لَمْ تَسْجُدْ لِمَطْلَعِ الشَّمْسِ

While Ira was travelling with myra father during a festival of theirs when Ira was by a monastery, and therein was a man calling out, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, and Isaas is Spirit of Allahazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Beloved of Allahazwj’, and the love of Muhammadsaww was paved in myra flesh and myra blood, neither food nor drink was palatable for mera. Myra mother said to mera, ‘O My sonra! What is the matter with you, you are not prostrating to the emergence of the sun?’’

قَالَ فَكَابَرْتُهَا حَتَّى‏ سَكَتَتْ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي إِذَا أَنَا بِكِتَابٍ مُعَلَّقٍ فِي السَّقْفِ فَقُلْتُ لِأُمِّي مَا هَذَا الْكِتَابُ فَقَالَتْ يَا رُوزْبِهُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْكِتَابَ لَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنْ عِيدِنَا رَأَيْنَاهُ مُعَلَّقاً فَلَا تَقْرَبْ ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ قَرِبْتَهُ قَتَلَكَ أَبُوكَ

Hera said, ‘Ira contended stubbornly until she was silent. When Ira left to go to myra house, there Ira was with a letter hanging in the ceiling. Ira said to myra mother, ‘What is this letter?’ She said, ‘O Rowzbeh! This letter, when we returned from our festival, we saw it hanging, so do not go near that place, for if youra go near it, yourra father will kill youra!’’

قَالَ فَجَاهَدْتُهَا حَتَّى جَنَّ اللَّيْلُ وَ نَامَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي فَقُمْتُ وَ أَخَذْتُ الْكِتَابَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ هَذَا عَهْدٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَى آدَمَ أَنَّهُ خَالِقٌ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ نَبِيّاً يُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ يَأْمُرُ بِمَكَارِمِ الْأَخْلَاقِ وَ يَنْهَى عَنْ عِبَادَةِ الْأَوْثَانِ يَا رُوزْبِهُ ائْتِ وَصِيَّ عِيسَى فَآمِنْ وَ اتْرُكِ الْمَجُوسِيَّةَ

Hera said, ‘Ira argued with her until the night covered and myra father and myra mother went to sleep. Ira stood up and took the letter and there in it was, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is a Covenant from Allahazwj to Adamas. Heazwj will Create a Prophetsaww from hisas Sulb (ribs) called Muhammadsaww. Hesaww will enjoin with the honourable manners and forbid from worshipping the idols. O Rowzbeh! Go to the successoras of Isaas and believe, and leave the Zoroastrianism (fire worshipping).

قَالَ فَصَعِقْتُ صَعْقَةً وَ زَادَنِي شِدَّةً قَالَ فَعَلِمَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي بِذَلِكَ فَأَخَذُونِي وَ جَعَلُونِي فِي بِئْرٍ عَمِيقَةٍ وَ قَالُوا لِي إِنْ رَجَعْتَ وَ إِلَّا قَتَلْنَاكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ افْعَلُوا بِي مَا شِئْتُمْ حُبُّ مُحَمَّدٍ لَا يَذْهَبُ مِنْ صَدْرِي

Hera said, ‘Ira was stunned and the difficulty increased in mera. I let myra father and mother know of that and they seized mera and made mera to be in a deep well, and they said to mera, ‘Either youra retract or else we will kill youra’. Ira said to them, ‘Do whatever you like with mera, love of Muhammadsaww will not go away from myra chest’’.

قَالَ سَلْمَانُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ قَبْلَ قِرَاءَتِيَ الْكِتَابَ وَ لَقَدْ فَهَّمَنِيَ اللَّهُ الْعَرَبِيَّةَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ

Salmanra said, ‘By Allahazwj! Ira did not know Arabic before myra reading the letter, and Allahazwj Cause mera to understand the Arabic from that day’.

قَالَ فَبَقِيتُ فِي الْبِئْرِ فَجَعَلُوا يُنْزِلُونَ إِلَيَّ قُرَصاً صِغَاراً فَلَمَّا طَالَ أَمْرِي رَفَعْتُ يَدِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ حَبَّبْتَ مُحَمَّداً وَ وَصِيَّهُ إِلَيَّ فَبِحَقِّ وَسِيلَتِهِ عَجِّلْ فَرَجِي وَ أَرِحْنِي مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ

Hera said, ‘Ira remained in the well, and they went on to send down the small disc (of bread) to mera. When myra matter prolonged, Ira raised myra hands towards the sky and said, ‘O Lordazwj! Yousaww Caused Muhammadsaww and hissaww successorasws to be beloved to mera, so by the right of hissaww intermediary, Relieve mera and grant mera Free mera from what Ira am in’.

فَأَتَانِي آتٍ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ قَالَ قُمْ يَا رُوزْبِهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَ أَتَى بِيَ الصَّوْمَعَةَ فَأَنْشَأْتُ أَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ عِيسَى رُوحُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيَّ الدَّيْرَانِيُّ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ رُوزْبِهُ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ اصْعَدْ

A comer came to measws, having white clothes upon him. He said, ‘Arise, O Rowzbeh!’, and he grabbed myra hand and came with mera to the monastery. Ira initiated saying, ‘Ira testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and Isaas is Spirit of Allahazwj and Muhammadsaww is Beloved of Allahazwj’. The monk looked upon mera and said, ‘Youra are Rowzbeh?’ Ira said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Ascend’.

فَأَصْعَدَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَ خَدَمْتُهُ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ إِنِّي مَيِّتٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَعَلَى مَنْ تُخَلِّفُنِي فَقَالَ لَا أَعْرِفُ أَحَداً يَقُولُ بِمَقَالَتِي إِلَّا رَاهِباً بِأَنْطَاكِيَةَ فَإِذَا لَقِيتَهُ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ ادْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ هَذَا اللَّوْحَ وَ نَاوَلَنِي لَوْحاً

He made mera climb up to him, and Ira served him for two year. When the death presented to him, he said, ‘I am dying’. Ira said to him, ‘Upon whom are you leaving mera behind?’ He said, ‘I do not know anyone saying with my words except a friar at Antioch. So, when youra meet him, then convey to him the greetings from me and hand over this tablet to him’, and he gave mera a tablet.

فَلَمَّا مَاتَ غَسَّلْتُهُ وَ كَفَّنْتُهُ وَ دَفَنْتُهُ وَ أَخَذَتُ اللَّوْحَ وَ صِرْتُ بِهِ إِلَى أَنْطَاكِيَةَ وَ أَتَيْتُ الصَّوْمَعَةَ وَ أَنْشَأَتُ أَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ عِيسَى رُوحُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيَّ الدَّيْرَانِيُّ فَقَالَ لِي أَنْتَ رُوزْبِهُ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ اصْعَدْ فَصَعِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَخَدَمْتُهُ‏ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ

When he died, Ira washed him and enshrouded him and buried him, and Ira took the tablet and went with it to Antioch and came to the monastery and initiated saying, ‘Ira testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, and Isaas is Spirit of Allahazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Beloved of Allahazwj’. The friar looked upon me and said to mera, ‘Youra are Rowzbeh?’ Ira said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Ascend’. So, Ira climbed up to him, and served him for two complete years.

فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِي إِنِّي مَيِّتٌ فَقُلْتُ عَلَى مَنْ تُخَلِّفُنِي فَقَالَ لَا أَعْرِفُ أَحَداً يَقُولُ بِمَقَالَتِي‏ إِلَّا رَاهِباً بِالْإِسْكَنْدَرِيَّةِ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ ادْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ هَذَا اللَّوْحَ

When the death presented to him, he said to mera, ‘I am dying’. Ira said, ‘Upon whom are you leaving mera behind?’ He said, ‘I do not know anyone saying with my words except a friar at Alexandria, so when youra go to him, convey to him the greetings and hand over this tablet to him’.

فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ غَسَّلْتُهُ وَ كَفَّنْتُهُ وَ دَفَنْتُهُ وَ أَخَذْتُ اللَّوْحَ وَ أَتَيْتُ الصَّوْمَعَةَ وَ أَنْشَأَتُ أَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ عِيسَى رُوحُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيَّ الدَّيْرَانِيُّ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ رُوزْبِهُ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ اصْعَدْ

When he died, Ira washed him, and enshrouded him and buried him, and Ira took the tablet and came to the monastery and initiated saying, ‘Ira testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and Isaas is Spirit of Allahazwj and Muhammadsaww is Beloved of Allahazwj’. The friar looked upon mera and said, ‘Youra are Rowzbeh?’ Ira said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Ascend’.

فَصَعِدْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَ خَدَمْتُهُ حَوْلَيْنِ كَامِلَيْنِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِي إِنِّي مَيِّتٌ قُلْتُ عَلَى مَنْ تُخَلِّفُنِي فَقَالَ لَا أَعْرِفُ أَحَداً يَقُولُ بِمَقَالَتِي‏ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَدْ حَانَتْ وِلَادَتُهُ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتَهُ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ ادْفَعْ إِلَيْهِ هَذَا اللَّوْحَ

Ira climbed up to him and served him for two complete years. When the death presented to him, he said to mera, ‘I am dying’. Ira said, ‘Upon whom are you leaving mera behind?’ He said, ‘I do not know of anyone saying with my words in the world, and Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws, hissaww birth has come, so when youra go to himsaww, then convey to himsaww the greetings from me and hand over this table to himsaww’.

فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ غَسَّلْتُهُ وَ كَفَّنْتُهُ وَ دَفَنْتُهُ وَ أَخَذْتُ اللَّوْحَ وَ خَرَجْتُ فَصَحِبْتُ قَوْماً فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ يَا قَوْمُ اكْفُونِي الطَّعَامَ وَ الشَّرَابَ أَكْفِكُمُ‏ الْخِدْمَةَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ

When he died, Ira washed him and enshrouded him and buried him, and Ira took the tablet and went out. Ira accompanied a group and said to them, ‘O people! Suffice me the food and the drink and Ira shall suffice you with the service’. They said, ‘Yes’’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَأْكُلُوا شَدُّوا عَلَى شَاةٍ فَقَتَلُوهَا بِالضَّرْبِ ثُمَّ جَعَلُوا بَعْضَهَا كَبَاباً وَ بَعْضَهَا شِوَاءً فَامْتَنَعْتُ مِنَ الْأَكْلِ فَقَالُوا كُلْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي غُلَامٌ دَيْرَانِيٌّ وَ إِنَّ الدَّيْرَانِيِّينَ لَا يَأْكُلُونَ اللَّحْمَ فَضَرَبُونِي وَ كَادُوا يَقْتُلُونَنِي فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَمْسِكُوا عَنْهُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكُمْ شَرَابٌ‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَشْرَبُ فَلَمَّا أَتَوْا بِالشَّرَابِ قَالُوا اشْرَبْ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي غُلَامٌ دَيْرَانِيٌّ وَ إِنَّ الدَّيْرَانِيِّينَ لَا يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ

Hera said, ‘When they intended to eat, they pulled out a sheep and killed it with the strike, then made part of it as Kebab and part of it as grilled. Ira abstained from the eating. They said, ‘Eat’. Ira said, ‘Ira am a slave of a monk and the monks do not eat the meat’. They hit mera and they almost killed mera. One of them said, ‘Refrain from him until the drink comes to you, for hera will not drink’. When they came with the drink, they said, ‘Drink’. Ira said, ‘Ira am a slave of a monk and the monks do not drink the wine’.

فَشَدُّوا عَلَيَّ وَ أَرَادُوا قَتْلِي فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ يَا قَوْمُ لَا تَضْرِبُونِي وَ لَا تَقْتُلُونِي فَإِنِّي أُقِرُّ لَكُمْ بِالْعُبُودِيَّةِ فَأَقْرَرْتُ لِوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَخْرَجَنِي وَ بَاعَنِي بِثَلَاثِمِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ

They attacked upon mera and wanted to kill mera. Ira said to them, ‘O people! Do not hit measws nor kill mera for Ira will accept to you with the servitude’. So, Ira acknowledge to one of them and he took mera out and sold mera for three hundred Dirhams to a Jewish man’.

قَالَ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ قِصَّتِي فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ وَ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ لِي ذَنْبٌ إِلَّا أَنْ أَحْبَبْتُ‏ مُحَمَّداً وَ وَصِيَّهُ فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَ إِنِّي لَأُبْغِضُكَ وَ أُبْغِضُ مُحَمَّداً ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَنِي إِلَى خَارِجِ دَارِهِ وَ إِذَا رَمْلٌ كَثِيرٌ عَلَى بَابِهِ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا رُوزْبِهُ لَئِنْ أَصْبَحْتَ وَ لَمْ تَنْقُلْ هَذَا الرَّمْلَ كُلَّهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ لَأَقْتُلَنَّكَ

Hera said, ‘He asked mera about myra story and Ira informed him and said, ‘There isn’t any sin for mera except that Ira love Muhammadsaww and hissaww successorasws’. The Jew said, ‘And I hate youra and hate Muhammadsaww’. Then he expelled mera to the outside of his house, and when there was a lot of sand at his door, he said, ‘By Allahazwj, O Rowzbeh! If I wake up in the morning and this sand and all of it is not transferred from this place, I will kill you’’.

قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ أَحْمِلُ طُولَ لَيْلِي فَلَمَّا أَجْهَدَنِي التَّعَبُ رَفَعْتُ يَدِي‏ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ حَبَّبْتَ مُحَمَّداً وَ وَصِيَّهُ إِلَيَّ فَبِحَقِّ وَسِيلَتِهِ عَجِّلْ فَرَجِي وَ أَرِحْنِي مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ

Hera said, ‘So, Ira went on to carry (the sand) in myra long night. When the fatigue weakened mera, Ira raised myra hands towards the sky, and Ira said, ‘O Lordazwj! Youazwj Caused Muhammadsaww and hissaww successorasws to be beloved to mera, so by the right of hissaww intermediary, hasten myra Relief and Free mera from what Ira am in’.

فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ رِيحاً قَلَعَتْ ذَلِكَ الرَّمْلَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ إِلَى الْمَكَانِ الَّذِي قَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ نَظَرَ إِلَى الرَّمْلِ قَدْ نُقِلَ كُلُّهُ فَقَالَ يَا رُوزْبِهُ أَنْتَ سَاحِرٌ وَ أَنَا لَا أَعْلَمُ فَلَأُخْرِجَنَّكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ لِئَلَّا تُهْلِكَهَا

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent a wind and it uprooted that sand from its place to the place which the Jew had said. When it was morning he looked at the sand, all of it to have been transferred, he said, ‘O Rowzbeh! Youra are a sorcerer and I did not know, so I hereby expel youra from this town, lest youra destroy it’’.

قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَنِي وَ بَاعَنِي مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ سُلَيْمِيَّةٍ فَأَحَبَّتْنِي حُبّاً شَدِيداً وَ كَانَ لَهَا حَائِطٌ فَقَالَتْ هَذَا الْحَائِطُ لَكَ كُلْ مِنْهُ مَا شِئْتَ وَ هَبْ وَ تَصَدَّقْ‏

Hera said, ‘He expelled measws and sold mera to a woman of Suleymiah, and she loved mera with intense love, and there used to be an orchard for her. She said, ‘This orchard is for youra. Eat from it whatever youra like and love and give in charity’’.

قَالَ فَبَقِيتُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحَائِطِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فِي الْحَائِطِ إِذَا أَنَا بِسَبْعَةِ رَهْطٍ قَدْ أَقْبَلُوا تُظِلُّهُمْ غَمَامَةٌ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي وَ اللَّهِ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ كُلُّهُمْ أَنْبِيَاءَ وَ إِنَّ فِيهِمْ نَبِيّاً قَالَ فَأَقْبَلُوا حَتَّى دَخَلُوا الْحَائِطَ وَ الْغَمَامَةُ تَسِيرُ مَعَهُمْ فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا إِذَا فِيهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ عَقِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ زَيْدُ بْنُ حَارِثَةَ

Hera said, ‘Ira remained in that orchard for as long as Allahazwj so Desired. One day, while Ira was in the orchard a group of seven persons came and a cloud was shading them. Ira said within myselfra, ‘By Allahazwj! All of them are not Prophetsas and among them is a Prophetas’. They came until they entered the orchard, and the cloud travelled with them. When they entered, Rasool-Allahsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws, and Abu Zarrra and Al-Miqdadra, and Aqeelasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws, and Zayd Bin Haris were among them.

فَدَخَلُوا الْحَائِطَ فَجَعَلُوا يَتَنَاوَلُونَ مِنْ حَشَفِ النَّخْلِ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ لَهُمْ كُلُوا الْحَشَفَ وَ لَا تُفْسِدُوا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ شَيْئاً فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى مَوْلَاتِي فَقُلْتُ لَهَا يَا مَوْلَاتِي هَبِي لِي طَبَقاً مِنْ رُطَبٍ فَقَالَتْ لَكَ سِتَّةُ أَطْبَاقٍ قَالَ فَجِئْتُ فَحَمَلْتُ طَبَقاً مِنْ رُطَبٍ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِمْ نَبِيٌّ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَ يَأْكُلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ

They entered the orchard and went on to take inferior dates from a palm tree, and Rasool-Allahsaww said to them: ‘Take inferior dates and do not spoil anything upon the people (owner)’. Ira came to myra Mistress and said to her, ‘O myra mistress! Gift to me a bunch of ripe dates’. She said, ‘For youra are six bunches’. Ira came carrying the bunches of dates and said within myselfra, ‘If a Prophetas is among them he will not eat the charity, and hesaww will eat the gift’.

فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ صَدَقَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كُلُوا وَ أَمْسَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ عَقِيلُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ قَالَ لِزَيْدٍ مُدَّ يَدَكَ وَ كُلْ فَأَكَلُوا وَ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي هَذِهِ عَلَامَةٌ

Ira placed it in front of himsaww and said, ‘This is charity’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Eat’, and Rasool-Allahsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws, and Aqeelasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and Hamzaasws Bin Abdul Muttalibasws abstained, and hesaww said to Zayd: ‘Extend your hand and eat’. And they ate, and Ira said within myselfra, ‘This is a sign’.

فَدَخَلْتُ إِلَى مَوْلَاتِي فَقُلْتُ لَهَا هَبِي‏ طَبَقاً آخَرَ فَقَالَتْ لَكَ سِتَّةُ أَطْبَاقٍ قَالَ جِئْتُ فَحَمَلْتُ طَبَقاً مِنْ رُطَبٍ فَوَضَعْتُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ كُلُوا فَمَدَّ الْقَوْمُ جَمِيعاً أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَ أَكَلُوا فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي هَذِهِ أَيْضاً عَلَامَةٌ

Ira went to myra mistress and said to her, ‘Gift mera another bunch’. She said, ‘For youra are six bunches’. Ira came carrying the bunches of dates and placed it in front of himsaww. Ira said, ‘These are a gift’. Hesaww extended hissaww hand and said: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj, eat!’ The people, all of them extended their hands and ate. Ira said within myself, ‘This is a sign as well’’.

قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَدُورُ خَلْفَهُ إِذْ حَانَتْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ص الْتِفَاتَةٌ فَقَالَ يَا رُوزْبِهُ تَطْلُبُ خَاتَمَ النُّبُوَّةِ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ كَتِفَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِخَاتَمِ النُّبُوَّةِ مَعْجُونٌ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ عَلَيْهِ شَعَرَاتٌ ص قَالَ فَسَقَطْتُ عَلَى قَدَمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أُقَبِّلُهَا

Hera said, ‘While Ira was circling behind himsaww when the Prophetsaww paid attention and said: ‘O Rowzbeh! Youra are seeking the seal of Prophet-hood?’ Ira said, ‘Yes’. Hesaww uncovered from hissaww shoulder, and there Ira was (staring) at the seal of Prophet-hood, pasted between hissaww shoulders, having hair upon it. Ira fell upon the feet of Rasool-Allahsaww and kissed them.

فَقَالَ لِي يَا رُوزْبِهُ ادْخُلْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَ قُلْ لَهَا يَقُولُ لَكِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تَبِيعِينَّا هَذَا الْغُلَامَ فَدَخَلْتُ‏ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا يَا مَوْلَاتِي إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَكِ تَبِيعِينَّا هَذَا الْغُلَامَ فَقَالَتْ قُلْ لَهُ لَا أَبِيعُكَهُ إِلَّا بِأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ نَخْلَةٍ مِائَتَيْ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْهَا صَفْرَاءَ وَ مِائَتَيْ نَخْلَةٍ مِنْهَا حَمْرَاءَ

Hesaww said to me: ‘O Rowzbeh! Go to this woman and say to her, ‘Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas is saying to you, ‘Sell us this slave’’. Ira went and said to her, ‘O my mistress! Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas is saying to you: ‘Sell us this slave’’. She said, ‘Say to himsaww, ‘I will not sell himra except for four hundred palm trees, two hundred from these being yellow, and two hundred from these being red’’.

قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَهْوَنَ مَا سَأَلَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُمْ يَا عَلِيُّ فَاجْمَعْ هَذَا النَّوَى كُلَّهُ فَأَخَذَهُ وَ غَرَسَهُ قَالَ اسْقِهِ فَسَقَاهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَمَا بَلَغَ آخِرَهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ النَّخْلُ وَ لَحِقَ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضاً

Hera said, ‘So, Ira came to the Prophetsaww and informed himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘How low is what she asks for’. Then hesaww said: ‘Stand, O Aliasws, and gather these seeds, all of it, take it and plant it’. (Then) hesaww said: ‘Water it’, so Amir Al-Momineenasws watered it. Heasws had not reached to the last of it until the palm trees emerged and joined up with each other.

فَقَالَ لِيَ ادْخُلْ إِلَيْهَا وَ قُلْ لَهَا يَقُولُ لَكِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خُذِي شَيْئَكِ وَ ادْفَعِي إِلَيْنَا شَيْئَنَا قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهَا وَ قُلْتُ ذَلِكَ‏ فَخَرَجَتْ وَ نَظَرَتْ إِلَى النَّخْلِ فَقَالَتْ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَبِيعُكَهُ إِلَّا بِأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ نَخْلَةٍ كُلُّهَا صَفْرَاءُ

Hesaww said to mera: ‘Go to her and say to her, ‘Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas is saying to you: ‘Take your thing and hand over our thing to us’’. So, Ira went to her and said that. She came out and looked at the palm treed and said, ‘By Allahazwj! I will not sell himra except for four hundred palm trees, all of them yellow’.

قَالَ فَهَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَمَسَحَ جَنَاحَهُ عَلَى النَّخْلِ فَصَارَ كُلُّهُ أَصْفَرَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي قُلْ لَهَا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً يَقُولُ لَكِ خُذِي شَيْئَكِ وَ ادْفَعِي إِلَيْنَا شَيْئَنَا فَقُلْتُ لَهَا فَقَالَتْ وَ اللَّهِ لَنَخْلَةٌ مِنْ هَذِهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مِنْكَ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا وَ اللَّهِ لَيَوْمٌ‏ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْكِ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَنْتِ فِيهِ فَأَعْتَقَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ سَمَّانِي سَلْمَانَ.

Hera said, ‘Jibraeelas descended and wiped hisas wing upon the palm trees, and all of them became yellow’. Then hesaww said to mera, ‘Say to her, ‘Muhammadsaww is saying to you: ‘Take your thing and hand over our thing to us’. Ira said it to her. She said, ‘By Allahazwj! A Palm tree from these is more beloved to me than Muhammadsaww and youra’. Ira said to her, ‘By Allahazwj! A day with Muhammadsaww is more beloved to mera than you and from all things you are in’. Rasool-Allahsaww freed mera and named mera as ‘Salman’’.⁴³⁶

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – My father, from Muhammad al Attar, from Al Ashari, from Al Luluie, from Is’haq Al Zahhak, from Munzir Al Jawwan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Salmanra said: ‘Ira wondered at six – three made mera laugh and three made mera cry. As for the one which made mera cry, it was the separation of the beloved Muhammadsaww and hissaww party, and the emerging horror (of the Day of Qiyamah), and the pausing in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

وَ أَمَّا الَّتِي أَضْحَكَتْنِي فَطَالِبُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْمَوْتُ يَطْلُبُهُ وَ غَافِلٌ وَ لَيْسَ بِمَغْفُولٍ عَنْهُ وَ ضَاحِكٌ مِلْ‏ءَ فِيهِ لَا يَدْرِي أَ رِضًى لِلَّهِ أَمْ سَخَطٌ.

And as for those which made mera laugh, it is the seeker of the world and the death is seeking him, and the heedless and it isn’t heedless from him, and one full of laughing, not knowing whether there is pleasure of Allahazwj or Wrath’’.⁴³⁷

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi al Mufeed, from Al Jiany, from Ibn Uqda, from Ahmad Bin Salama, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Huzeyfa,

‘Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘A companion of Salmanra fell sick, and hera missed him. Hera said, ‘Where is your companion?’ They said, ‘Sick’. Hera said, ‘Come let us go and console him’. They arose with himra. When they entered to see him, there he was trying to find his last breath. Salmanra said, ‘O Angel of death! Be kind with the friend of Allahazwj’. The Angel of death said in a speech (all) the ones present hear it, ‘O Abu Abdullah! I am kind with the Momineen, and if I were to appear to anyone, I would appear to youra’’.⁴³⁸

4- ج، الإحتجاج‏ احْتِجَاجُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ فِي جَوَابِ كِتَابٍ كَتَبَهُ إِلَيْهِ كَانَ حِينَ هُوَ عَامِلُهُ عَلَى الْمَدَائِنِ بَعْدَ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ مِنْ سَلْمَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ أَتَانِي مِنْكَ كِتَابٌ يَا عُمَرُ تُؤَنِّبُنِي‏ فِيهِ وَ تُعَيِّرُنِي وَ تَذْكُرُ فِيهِ أَنَّكَ بَعَثْتَنِي أَمِيراً عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَدَائِنِ وَ أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَقُصَّ أَثَرَ حُذَيْفَةَ وَ أَسْتَقْصِيَ أَيَّامَ أَعْمَالِهِ وَ سِيَرِهِ ثُمَّ أُعَلِّمَكَ قَبِيحَهَا وَ حَسَنَهَا

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – Salman Al-Farsira argued against Umar Bin Al-Khattab in answer to a letter he had written to himra, when hera wanted himra to be a governor upon Al-Madain after Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yaman, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. From Salman Al-Farsira, slave of Rasool-Allahsaww, to Umar Bin Al-Khattab. As for after, a letter from you came to mera, O Umar, informing mera in it and faulting mera, and you mentioned in it that you are sending mera as an Emir upon the people of Al-Madain, and ordering mera to cut off the impact of Huzeyfa and investigate the days of his governorship and his ways, then Ira should let you know its ugliness and its goodness.

وَ قَدْ نَهَانِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ يَا عُمَرُ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ حَيْثُ قَالَ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيراً مِنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَ لا تَجَسَّسُوا وَ لا يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً أَ يُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتاً فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ‏ وَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَعْصِيَ اللَّهَ فِي أَثَرِ حُذَيْفَةَ وَ أُطِيعَكَ

And Allahazwj has Forbidden mera from that, O Umar in the Decisive of Hisazwj Book where Heazwj Said: O you those who believe! Shun most of the conjectures. Surely, some of the conjectures are a sin, nor should you spy or backbite each other. Would one of you love to eat the flesh of his own dead brother? But, you would abhor it. And fear Allah, [49:12], and Ira will not disobey Allahazwj regarding the impact of Huzeyfa and obey you.

وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنِّي أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى سَفِّ الْخُوصِ وَ أَكْلِ الشَّعِيرِ فَمَا هُمَا مِمَّا يُعَيَّرُ بِهِ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ يُؤَنَّبُ عَلَيْهِ وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ يَا عُمَرُ لَأَكْلُ الشَّعِيرِ وَ سَفُّ الْخُوصِ وَ الِاسْتِغْنَاءُ بِهِ عَنْ رَيْعِ الْمَطْعَمِ وَ الْمَشْرَبِ

And as for what you mentioned that Ira have come upon drinking the well water and eating the barley, so these two are not what a Momin can be faulted with and reprimanded upon, and Ira swear by Allahazwj, O Umar, Ira will eat the barley and drink the well water and will needles by it from the mirage of the meals and the drinks.

وَ عَنْ غَصْبِ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ ادِّعَاءِ مَا لَيْسَ لِي بِحَقٍ‏ أَفْضَلُ وَ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَقْرَبُ لِلتَّقْوَى وَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَصَابَ الشَّعِيرَ أَكَلَهُ وَ فَرِحَ بِهِ وَ لَمْ يَسْخَطْ

And (not) usurping a Momin and claiming what isn’t for mera rightfully, is superior and most beloved to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and nearest to the piety, and Ira have seen Rasool-Allahsaww when hesaww attained the barley, hesaww ate it and was happy with it and was not angry.

وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ عَطَائِي‏ فَإِنِّي قَدَّمْتُهُ لِيَوْمِ فَاقَتِي وَ حَاجَتِي وَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ يَا عُمَرُ مَا أُبَالِي إِذَا جَازَ طَعَامِي لَهَوَاتِي وَ سَاغَ لِي فِي حَلْقِي أَ لُبَابَ الْبُرِّ وَ مُخَّ الْمَعْزِ كَانَ أَوْ خُشَارَةَ الشَّعِيرِ

And as for what you mentioned from myra bestowal, Ira have sent it ahead for a day of myra destitution and myra need. By the Lordazwj of Might, O Umar! Ira don’t care when myra food exceeds to myra amusement and accepted to myra throat, whether it was the seed of wheat and the brain of the goat, or waste material of barley.

وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ إِنِّي أَضْعَفْتُ سُلْطَانَ اللَّهِ وَ أَوْهَنْتُهُ وَ أَذْلَلْتُ نَفْسِي وَ امْتَهَنْتُهَا حَتَّى جَهِلَ أَهْلُ الْمَدَائِنِ إِمَارَتِي فَاتَّخَذُونِي جِسْراً يَمْشُونَ فَوْقِي وَ يَحْمِلُونَ عَلَيَّ ثِقْلَ حُمُولَتِهِمْ وَ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يُوهِنُ سُلْطَانَ اللَّهِ وَ يُذِلُّهُ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ التَّذَلُّلَ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ التَّعَزُّزِ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ

And as for your words that Ira have weakened the Authority of Allahazwj belittled it, and have disgraced myselfra and Ira professed it until the people of Al-Madain were ignorant of myra emirate, so they have taken mera as a bridge and walked above mera, and loaded upon mera the weight of their loads, and you claimed that, that was from what belittles the Authority of Allahazwj its disgrace, so know that the humiliation in obedience of Allahazwj is more beloved to mera than the honour in disobedience of Allahazwj.

وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَتَأَلَّفُ النَّاسَ وَ يَتَقَرَّبُ مِنْهُمْ وَ يَتَقَرَّبُونَ مِنْهُ فِي نُبُوَّتِهِ وَ سُلْطَانِهِ حَتَّى كَانَ‏ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي الدُّنُوِّ مِنْهُمْ وَ قَدْ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ الْجَشِبَ وَ يَلْبَسُ الْخَشِنَ وَ كَانَ النَّاسُ عِنْدَهُ قُرَشِيُّهُمْ وَ عَرَبِيُّهُمْ وَ أَبْيَضُهُمْ وَ أَسْوَدُهُمْ سَوَاءً فِي الدِّينِ فَأَشْهَدُ

And Ira have known that Rasool-Allahsaww united the people and hesaww went closer to them and they came closer to himsaww regarding hissaww Prophet-hood and hissaww authority, until hesaww was in the proximity from them, and hesaww used to eat the dry (food), and wear the coarse (clothes), and the people in hissaww presence, their Qureyshites, and their Arabs, and their white and their black were equal in the Religion.

أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَنْ وَلِيَ سَبْعَةً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَعْدِي ثُمَّ لَمْ يَعْدِلْ فِيهِمْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ غَضْبَانُ فَلَيْتَنِي يَا عُمَرُ أَسْلَمُ مِنْ إِمَارَةِ الْمَدَائِنِ مَعَ مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنِّي ذَلَّلْتُ نَفْسِي وَ امْتَهَنْتُهَا فَكَيْفَ يَا عُمَرُ حَالُ مَنْ وَلِيَ الْأُمَّةَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ‏ تِلْكَ الدَّارُ الْآخِرَةُ نَجْعَلُها لِلَّذِينَ لا يُرِيدُونَ عُلُوًّا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لا فَساداً وَ الْعاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ

Ira heard himsaww saying, ‘One who befriends seven from the Muslims after me, then does not do justice among them would meet Allahazwj and Heazwj would be Wrathful upon him. So, O Umar, if they had become Muslims from the emirate of Al-Madain along with what you mentioned that Ira disgraced myselfra and degraded it, so how, O Umar, is the state of the one rules the community after Rasool-Allahsaww, and Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘That is the House of the Hereafter. We Make it to be for those who are not wanting to exalt themselves in the land nor make mischief, and the end-result is for the pious [28:83].

اعْلَمْ أَنِّي لَمْ أَتَوَجَّهْ أَسُوسُهُمْ وَ أُقِيمُ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ فِيهِمْ إِلَّا بِإِرْشَادِ دَلِيلٍ عَالِمٍ‏ فَنَهَجْتُ فِيهِمْ بِنَهْجِهِ وَ سِرْتُ فِيهِمْ بِسِيرَتِهِ

Know that Ira do not consider their feeling and Ira establish the Legal Punishments of Allahazwj among them, only by the rightful guidance, evidence of a scholar (Aliasws). So, Ira approach them by hisasws approach, and make it a way among them by hisasws way.

‏ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَوْ أَرَادَ بِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ خَيْراً وَ أَرَادَ بِهِمْ رُشْداً لَوَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ أَفْضَلَهُمْ وَ أَعْلَمَهُمْ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ هَذِهِ‏ الْأُمَّةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ خَائِفِينَ وَ لِقَوْلِ نَبِيِّهَا مُتَّبِعِينَ وَ بِالْحَقِّ عَالِمِينَ مَا سَمَّوْكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And know that Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted, if Heazwj Wanted good with this community and Wanted rightful guidance with them, would have Made a ruler to be upon them, their most superior one and their most knowledgeable one, and if this community had been fearful from Allahazwj and followers to the words of our Prophetsaww, and knowing with the truth, they would not have named you as Emir of the Momineen.

فَاقْضِ مَا أَنْتَ قَاضٍ فَإِنَّمَا تَقْضِي هَذِهِ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا تَغْتَرَّ بِطُولِ عَفْوِ اللَّهِ‏ وَ تَمْدِيدِهِ لَكَ مِنْ تَعْجِيلِ عُقُوبَتِهِ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ سَتُدْرِكُكَ عَوَاقِبُ ظُلْمِكَ فِي دُنْيَاكَ وَ أُخْرَاكَ وَ سَوْفَ تُسْأَلُ عَمَّا قَدَّمْتَ وَ أَخَّرْتَ‏.

So, judge, and you are not a judge, but rather you will judge this life of the world, and do not be deceived by the length of the Pardon of Allahazwj and its extension to you from the hastening of Hisazwj Punishment; and know that you will come across the end result of your injustices in your world and your Hereafter, and soon you will be asked about what you sent forwards and held back’’.⁴³⁹

(The book) ‘Qasas al Anbiya’ – Al Sadouq, from Abdullah Bin Hamid, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Ahmad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Yunus, from Ibn Is’haq, from Aasim Bin Amro bin Qatadah, from Mahmoud Bin Asad, from Ibn Abbas,

‘From Salman Al-Farsira having said, ‘Ira was a man from the people of Isfahan from a town called Jayyi, and my father was a leader of his land and he used to love mera with intense love. He withheld mera in the house just as the girl gets withheld, and Ira was a child not knowing from the matters of the people except what Ira saw from the Zoroastrianism, until when myra father built a building, and there was an estate for him.

فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ شَغَلَنِي مِنِ اطِّلَاعِ الضَّيْعَةِ مَا تَرَى فَانْطَلِقْ إِلَيْهَا وَ مُرْهُمْ بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ لَا تَحْبِسْ عَنِّي‏ فَخَرَجْتُ أُرِيدُ الضَّيْعَةَ فَمَرَرْتُ بِكَنِيسَةِ النَّصَارَى فَسَمِعْتُ أَصْوَاتَهُمْ فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا هَؤُلَاءِ النَّصَارَى يُصَلُّونَ فَدَخَلْتُ أَنْظُرُ فَأَعْجَبَنِي مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ حَالِهِمْ

He said, ‘O my sonra! It has pre-occupied me from noticing the estate, what youra can see, so go to it and instruct them with such and such, and not withhold from me’. So, Ira went out intending the estate, and Ira passed by a Christian Church and I heard their voices. Ira said, ‘What is this?’ They said, ‘They are Christians praying’. Ira entered and looked and it astounded mera what Ira saw of their state.

فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا زِلْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَهُمْ حَتَّى غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ بَعَثَ أَبِي فِي طَلَبِي فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ حَتَّى جِئْتُهُ حِينَ أَمْسَيْتُ وَ لَمْ أَذْهَبْ إِلَى ضَيْعَتِهِ فَقَالَ أَبِي أَيْنَ كُنْتَ قُلْتُ مَرَرْتُ بِالنَّصَارَى فَأَعْجَبَنِي صَلَاتُهُمْ وَ دُعَاؤُهُمْ فَقَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ إِنَّ دِينَ آبَائِكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ دِينِهِمْ

By Allahazwj! Ira did not cease sitting with them until the sun set, and myra father sent (searchers) in seeking mera in every direction until Ira came to him in the evening, and Ira had not gone to his estate. My father said, ‘Where were youra?’ Ira said, ‘I passed by the Christians and their prayers and their supplications fascinated mera’. He said, ‘Yes, my sonra, the religion of yourra forefathers is better than their religion’.

فَقُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا هَذَا بِخَيْرٍ مِنْ دِينِهِمْ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ وَ يَدْعُونَهُ وَ يُصَلُّونَ لَهُ وَ أَنْتَ إِنَّمَا تَعْبُدُ نَاراً أَوْقَدْتَهَا بِيَدِكَ إِذَا تَرَكْتَهَا مَاتَتْ فَجَعَلَ فِي رِجْلِي حَدِيداً وَ حَبَسَنِي فِي بَيْتٍ عِنْدَهُ

Ira said, ‘No, by Allahazwj, this is not better than their religion. They are a people worshipping Allahazwj and supplicating to Himazwj and praying to Himazwj, and rather you are worshiping fire you ignited with your own hands. When you neglect it, it dies. So, he made iron (shackles) to be in myra legs and withheld mera in the house with him.

فَبَعَثْتُ إِلَى النَّصَارَى فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ أَصْلُ هَذَا الدِّينِ قَالُوا بِالشَّامِ قُلْتُ إِذَا قَدِمَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ هُنَاكَ نَاسٌ فَآذِنُونِي قَالُوا نَفْعَلُ فَبَعَثُوا بَعْدَ أَنَّهُ قَدِمَ تُجَّارٌ فَبَعَثْتُ إِذَا قَضَوْا حَوَائِجَهُمْ وَ أَرَادُوا الْخُرُوجَ فَآذِنُونِي بِهِ قَالُوا نَفْعَلُ ثُمَّ بَعَثُوا إِلَيَّ بِذَلِكَ فَطَرَحْتُ الْحَدِيدَ مِنْ رِجْلِي وَ انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمْ

Ira sent a message to the Christians and said, ‘Where is the origin of this religion?’ They said, ‘At Syria’. Ira said, ‘When some people come to you from there then let mera know’. They said, ‘We shall do so’. They sent a message after some traders had arrived. Ira sent a message, ‘When they have fulfilled their needs and intended to go out, then let me know’. They said, ‘We shall do so’. Then they sent a message to mera with that, and the iron dropped off from myra legs and Ira went with them.

فَلَمَّا قَدِمْتُ الشَّامَ قُلْتُ مَنْ أَفْضَلُ هَذَا الدِّينِ قَالُوا الْأُسْقُفُّ صَاحِبُ الْكَنِيسَةِ فَجِئْتُ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ وَ أَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْكَ الْخَيْرَ قَالَ فَكُنْ مَعِي فَكُنْتُ مَعَهُ وَ كَانَ رَجُلَ سَوْءٍ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَإِذَا جَمَعُوهَا اكْتَنَزَهَا وَ لَمْ يُعْطِهَا الْمَسَاكِينَ مِنْهَا وَ لَا بَعْضَهَا

When Ira arrived at Syria, Ira said, ‘Who is the superior one of this religion?’ They said, ‘The Bishop, in charge of the Church’. Ira went and said, ‘Ira would love it to become with you and learn the good from you’. He said, ‘Then be with me’. Ira became with him, and he was an evil man, ordering them with the charitable donations, and when he had collected it, hoarded it and did not give it to the poor from it (the community), not even part of it.

فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ مَاتَ فَلَمَّا جَاءُوا أَنْ يَدْفِنُوهُ قُلْتُ هَذَا رَجُلُ سَوْءٍ وَ نَبَّهْتُهُمْ عَلَى كَنْزِهِ فَأَخْرَجُوا سَبْعَ قِلَالٍ مَمْلُوَّةٍ ذَهَباً فَصَلَبُوهُ عَلَى خَشَبَةٍ وَ رَمَوْهُ بِالْحِجَارَةِ وَ جَاءُوا بِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَجَعَلُوهُ مَكَانَهُ فَلَا وَ اللَّهِ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا قَطُّ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ وَ أَزْهَدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَشَدَّ اجْتِهَاداً مِنْهُ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ وَ كُنْتُ أُحِبُّهُ

He did not live long and died. When they came to bury him, Ira said, ‘This is an evil man’, and informed them upon his treasure hoard, and they extracted seven chests filled with gold. They crucified him upon a plank and pelted him with the stones, and they came with another man and made him to be in his place. By Allahazwj, O Ibn Abbas, Ira have not seen any man better than him, and more ascetic in the world, and intense of the striving than him. Ira did not cease to be with him until the death presented to him, and Ira used to love him.

فَقُلْتُ يَا فُلَانُ قَدْ حَضَرَكَ مَا تَرَى مِنْ أَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِلَى مَنْ تُوصِي بِي قَالَ أَيْ بُنَيَّ مَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا رَجُلًا بِالْمَوْصِلِ فَأْتِهِ فَإِنَّكَ سَتَجِدُهُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِي

Ira said, ‘O so and so! It has presented to you what you can see, from the Command of Allahazwj, so to whom are you bequeathing mera?’ He said, ‘Yes, my sonra, I do not know except a man at Al-Mosul, and youra will find him upon similar to my state’.

فَلَمَّا مَاتَ وَ غُيِّبَ لَحِقْتُ بِالْمَوْصِلِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِهِ مِنَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ الزَّهَادَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ فُلَاناً أَوْصَى بِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ كُنْ مَعِي فَأَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ قُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ تُوصِي بِي قَالَ الْآنَ يَا بُنَيَّ لَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا رَجُلًا بِنَصِيبِينَ فَالْحَقْ بِهِ

When he died and disappeared, Ira went to Mosul and came to him and found him upon similar to his state, from the striving, and the ascetism. Ira said to him, ‘So and so bequeathed with mera to you’. He said, ‘O my sonra! Be with me’. Ira stayed with him until the death presented to him. Ira said, ‘To whom are you bequeathing mera?’ He said, ‘At the moment, O my sonra, I do not know except a man at Nasibeyn, so join up with him’.

فَلَمَّا دَفَنَّاهُ لَحِقْتُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ فُلَاناً أَوْصَى بِي إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ أَقِمْ فَأَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِهِمْ حَتَّى حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ فَقُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ تُوصِي بِي قَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُ إِلَّا رَجُلًا بِعَمُّورِيَةَ مِنْ أَرْضِ الرُّومِ فَأْتِهِ فَإِنَّكَ سَتَجِدُهُ عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا كُنَّا عَلَيْهِ

When we had buried him, I joined up with him and said to him, ‘So and so bequeathed mera to you’. He said, ‘O my son! Stay’. Ira stayed with him and found him upon similar to their state until the death presented to him. Ira said, ‘To whom are you bequeathing mera ?’ He said, ‘I do not know except a man at Amuriyya from the land of Rome. Go to him and youra will find him to be similar of what we have been upon’.

فَلَمَّا وَارَيْتُهُ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْعَمُّورِيَةَ فَأَقَمْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ عَلَى‏ مِثْلِ حَالِهِمْ وَ اكْتَسَبْتُ غُنَيْمَةً وَ بَقَرَاتٍ إِلَى أَنْ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ فَقُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ تُوصِي بِي قَالَ لَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَداً عَلَى مِثْلِ مَا كُنَّا عَلَيْهِ وَ لَكِنْ قَدْ أَظَلَّكَ زَمَانُ نَبِيٍّ يُبْعَثُ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ مُهَاجَرُهُ بَيْنَ حَرَّتَيْنِ إِلَى أَرْضٍ ذَاتِ سَبْخَةٍ ذَاتِ نَخْلٍ وَ إِنَّ فِيهِ عَلَامَاتٍ لَا تَخْفَى بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ خَاتَمُ النُّبُوَّةِ يَأْكُلُ الْهَدِيَّةَ وَ لَا يَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَمْضِيَ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْبِلَادِ فَافْعَلْ

When Ira had buried him, Ira went out to Al-Amuriyya and stayed with him and found him to be upon similar to their state and Ira earned sheep and cows until the death presented to him. Ira said, ‘To whom are you bequeathing mera?’ He said, ‘I do not know anyone upon similar to what we have been upon, but the time of the Sent Prophetsaww has shaded youra, emigrating from the Sanctuary between the two heats to a land with marsh with palm trees, and in himsaww there is an unhidden sign between hissaww shoulder, seal of the Prophet-hood. Hesaww eats the gift and does not eat the charity, so if youra are able to go to that city, then do so’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَارَيْنَاهُ أَقَمْتُ حَتَّى مَرَّ رِجَالٌ مِنْ تُجَّارِ الْعَرَبِ مِنْ كَلْبٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ تَحْمِلُونِّي مَعَكُمْ حَتَّى تُقْدِمُونِي أَرْضَ الْعَرَبِ وَ أُعْطِيَكُمْ غُنَيْمَتِي هَذِهِ وَ بَقَرَاتِي قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَأَعْطَيْتُهُمْ إِيَّاهَا وَ حَمَلُونِي حَتَّى إِذَا جَاءُوا بِي وَادِيَ الْقُرَى ظَلَمُونِي وَ بَاعُونِي عَبْداً مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَهُودِيٍّ

Hera said, ‘When we had buried him, I stayed until some men from the Arab traders passed by from Kalb. Ira said to them, ‘Will you carry mera with you until you make mera arrive to the Arab land, and Ira will give you these sheep of minera and myra cows’. They said, ‘Yes’. I gave these to them and they carried mera until when they came with mera to the valley of Al-Qura, they oppressed mera and sold mera as a slave to a man from the Jews.

فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّخْلَ وَ طَمِعْتُ أَنْ تَكُونَ الْبَلَدَ الَّذِي نَعَتَ لِي فِيهِ صَاحِبِي حَتَّى قَدِمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي قُرَيْظَةَ مِنْ يَهُودِ وَادِي الْقُرَى فَابْتَاعَنِي مِنْ صَاحِبِيَ الَّذِي كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى قَدِمَ بِيَ الْمَدِينَةَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُهَا وَ عَرَفْتُ نَعْتَهَا فَأَقَمْتُ مَعَ صَاحِبِي وَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ بِمَكَّةَ

By Allahazwj! Ira saw the palm trees and Ira wished it would be the city which my companion had described to mera, until a man from the clan of Qureyza from the Jews came at the valley of Qura and bought mera from myra master who Ira was with. He went out until he arrive with mera at Al-Medina. By Allahazwj! It wasn’t except that Ira had seen it and recognised its description. Ira stayed with myra master and Allahazwj Sent Hisazwj Rasoolsaww at Makkah.

لَا يُذْكَرُ لِي شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَعَ مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الرِّقِّ حَتَّى قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قُبَاءَ وَ أَنَا أَعْمَلُ لِصَاحِبِي فِي نَخْلٍ لَهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَكَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ ابْنُ عَمٍّ لَهُ فَقَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ بَنِي قَيْلَةَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَفِي قُبَاءَ يَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ جَاءَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُ نَبِيٌّ

He did not mentioned anything from hissaww matter, along with what Ira was in from the slavery, until Rasool-Allahsaww arrived at Quba, and Ira was working for myra master among palm trees of his. By Allahazwj! Ira was like that when a cousin of his came and said, ‘May Allahazwj Kill the clan of Qayla! By Allahazwj, they are in Quba, gathering against a man who has come from Makkah claiming that hesaww is a Prophetsaww’.

فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا قَدْ سَمِعْتُهَا فَأَخَذَتْنِي الرِّعْدَةُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ لَأَسْقُطَنَّ عَلَى صَاحِبِي وَ نَزَلْتُ أَقُولُ مَا هَذَا الْخَبَرُ مَا هُوَ فَرَفَعَ مَوْلَايَ يَدَهُ فَلَكَمَنِي فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ وَ لِهَذَا أَقْبِلْ عَلَى عَمَلِكَ

By Allahazwj, hesaww was not except as Ira had heard it, and the trembling seized mera until Ira though it would not be silent upon my master, and Ira descended and said, ‘What is this news, what is it?’ My master raised his hand and punched mera. He said, ‘What is to youra and this? Go back to your work!’

فَلَمَّا أَمْسَيْتُ وَ كَانَ عِنْدِي شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَحَمَلْتُهُ وَ ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِقُبَاءَ فَقُلْتُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ وَ أَنَّ مَعَكَ أَصْحَاباً وَ كَانَ عِنْدِي شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنَ الصَّدَقَةِ فَهَا هُوَ ذَا فَكُلْ مِنْهُ فَأَمْسَكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ كُلُوا وَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي هَذِهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِمَّا وَصَفَ لِي صَاحِبِي

When it was evening and there was something from the food with me, Ira carried it and went to Rasool-Allahsaww at Quba and said, ‘It has reached mera that yousaww are a righteous man and that there are companions with yousaww, and there is something from the charity with me, so here it is, eat from it’. Rasool-Allahsaww abstained and said to hissaww companions: ‘Eat’, and hesaww did not eat. Ira said within myselfra, ‘This is one characteristic from what my companion had described to mera’.

ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ وَ تَحَوَّلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَجَمَعْتُ شَيْئاً كَانَ عِنْدِي ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ لَا تَأْكُلُ الصَّدَقَةَ وَ هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ وَ كَرَامَةٌ لَيْسَتْ بِالصَّدَقَةِ فَأَكَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَكَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ فَقُلْتُ هَاتَانِ خَلَّتَانِ

Then Ira returned and Rasool-Allahsaww transferred to Al-Medina. Ira gathered something which was with mera, then went with it to himsaww and said, ‘Ira have seen that yousaww do not eat the charity and this here is a gift and prestige, it isn’t charity’. Rasool-Allahsaww ate and hissaww companions ate. Ira said (within myselfra, ‘These are two characteristics.

ثُمَّ جِئْتُ‏ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ يَتْبَعُ جَنَازَةً وَ عَلَيْهِ شَمْلَتَانِ وَ هُوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَاسْتَدَرْتُ بِهِ لِأَنْظُرَ إِلَى الْخَاتَمِ فِي ظَهْرِهِ فَلَمَّا رَآنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اسْتَدْبَرْتُهُ عَرَفَ أَنِّي أَسْتَثْبِتُ شَيْئاً قَدْ وُصِفَ لِي فَرَفَعَ رِدَاءَهُ عَنْ ظَهْرِهِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْخَاتَمِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهِ كَمَا وَصَفَ لِي صَاحِبِي

Then Ira went to Rasool-Allahsaww and hesaww was following a funeral and there were two garments and hesaww as among hissaww companions. Ira circled with himsaww in order to look at the seal in hissaww back. When Rasool-Allahsaww saw measws circling around himsaww, hesaww recognised that Ira was investigating something which had been described to mera. Hesaww raised hissaww robed from hissaww back and Ira looked at the seat between hissaww shoulders just as myra companion had described to mera.

فَأَكْبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ أُقَبِّلُهُ وَ أَبْكِي فَقَالَ تَحَوَّلْ يَا سَلْمَانُ هُنَا فَتَحَوَّلْتُ وَ جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ أَحَبَ‏ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ أَصْحَابُهُ حَدِيثِي عَنْهُ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَمَا حَدَّثْتُكَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَاتِبْ يَا سَلْمَانُ فَكَاتَبْتُ صَاحِبِي عَلَى ثَلَاثِمِائَةِ نَخْلَةٍ أُحْيِيهَا لَهُ وَ أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً فَأَعَانَنِي أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِالنَّخْلَةِ ثَلَاثِينَ وَدِيَّةً وَ عِشْرِينَ وَدِيَّةً كُلُّ رَجُلٍ عَلَى قَدْرِ مَا عِنْدَهُ

Ira devoted to himsaww, kissed himsaww and cried. Hesaww said: ‘Transfer to over here, O Salmanra!’ Ira transferred and sat in front of himsaww and loved to hear hissaww companion narrating to mera from himsaww. Ira discussed with himsaww just as Ira am discussing with you, O Ibn Abbas. When Ira was free, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Draw a contract, O Salmanra!’ So Ira contracted with myra master upon three hundred palm trees Ira would revive for him, and forty Owqiyas (of gold)’. The companions of Rasool-Allahsaww assisted mera with the palm trees, thirty plants and twenty plants, each man upon a measurement of what was with him.

فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا أَضَعُهَا بِيَدِي فَحَفَرْتُ لَهَا حَيْثُ تُوضَعُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقُلْتُ قَدْ فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا فَخَرَجَ مَعِي حَتَّى جَاءَهَا فَكُنَّا نَحْمِلُ إِلَيْهِ الْوَدِيَّ فَيَضَعُهُ بِيَدِهِ فَيُسَوِّي عَلَيْهَا فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً مَا مَاتَ مِنْهَا وَدِيَّةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ بَقِيَتْ عَلَيَّ الدَّرَاهِمُ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْضِ الْمَغَازِي‏ بِمِثْلِ الْبَيْضَةِ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to mera: ‘Isaww shall place it (plant) with mysaww hands’. So, I dug for it where it was place. Then Ira went to Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘Ira am free from it’. Hesaww went out with mera until hesaww came to it, and we were carrying the seeds to it, and hesaww placed (planted) it with hissaww hands and evened (the soil) upon it. By the Oneazwj Who Sent himsaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww, not one of the seeds died from it, and the Dirhams remained upon mera. Ira gave them to a man from one of the military like the egg of the gold.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيْنَ الْفَارِسِيُّ الْمُكَاتَبُ الْمُسْلِمُ فَدُعِيتُ لَهُ فَقَالَ خُذْ هَذِهِ يَا سَلْمَانُ فَأَدِّهَا مِمَّا عَلَيْكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيْنَ تَقَعُ هَذِهِ مِمَّا عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ سَيُوفِي بِهَا عَنْكَ فَوَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ سَلْمَانَ بِيَدِهِ لَوَزَنْتُ لَهُمْ مِنْهَا أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً فَأَدَّيْتُهَا إِلَيْهِمْ وَ عَتَقَ سَلْمَانُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Where is Al-Farsira, the contracted, the Muslim?’ Ira was called for himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘O Salmanra! Fulfil it from what is upon youra’. Ira said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Where can Ira locate this from what is upon mera?’ Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Fulfil mesaww with it on yourra behalf’. By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Salmanra! Ira weight out forty Owqiyas for them and fulfilled it to them’. And Salmanra was free.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ الرِّقُّ قَدْ حَبَسَنِي حَتَّى فَاتَنِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بَدْرٌ وَ أُحُدٌ ثُمَّ عَتَقْتُ فَشَهِدْتُ الْخَنْدَقَ وَ لَمْ يَفُتْنِي مَعَهُ مَشْهَدٌ.

Hera said, ‘And the slavery had withheld mera and Ira missed Badr and Ohad with Rasool-Allahsaww. Then Ira was free and Ira attended Al-Khandaq, and not attendance with himsaww was missed by mera’’.⁴⁴⁰

6- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَافَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمَدِينَةَ مُهَاجِراً نَزَلَ بِقُبَا قَالَ لَا أَدْخُلُ الْمَدِينَةَ حَتَّى يَلْحَقَ بِي عَلِيٌّ وَ كَانَ سَلْمَانُ كَثِيرَ السُّؤَالِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ قَدِ اشْتَرَاهُ بَعْضُ الْيَهُودِ وَ كَانَ يَخْدُمُ نَخْلًا لِصَاحِبِهِ

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported than when he (Salmanra) met Rasool-Allahsaww at Al-Medina as an emigrant, hesaww descended at Quba. Hesaww said, ‘Isaww will not enter until Aliasws joins with mesaww’; and Salmanra was with a lot of questions about Rasool-Allahsaww, and one of the Jews had bought himra, and hera was serving in palm tree plantation of hisra master.

فَلَمَّا وَافَى ع قُبَا وَ كَانَ سَلْمَانُ قَدْ عَرَفَ بَعْضَ أَحْوَالِهِ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ عِيسَى وَ غَيْرِهِ فَحَمَلَ طَبَقاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ وَ جَاءَهُمْ بِهِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْنَا أَنَّكُمْ غُرَبَاءُ وَافَيْتُمْ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ فَحَمَلْنَا هَذَا إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ صَدَقَتِنَا فَكُلُوهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص سَمُّوا وَ كُلُوا وَ لَمْ يَأْكُلْ هُوَ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً وَ سَلْمَانُ وَاقِفٌ يَنْظُرُ فَأَخَذَ الطَّبَقَ وَ انْصَرَفَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ وَاحِدَةٌ بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ

When hera arrived at Quba, and Salmanra had already recognise some of hissaww situations from one of the companions of Isaas and others, hera carried a tray of dates and came to them with it and said, ‘We have heard that you are strangers who have gathered to this place, and we carried this to you from our charities, so eat it’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Name (Bismillah) and eat, and hesaww did not eat anything from it, and Salmanra was standing looking. Hera grabbed the tray and left and hera was saying in Persian, ‘This is one’.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ فِي الطَّبَقِ تَمْراً آخَرَ وَ حَمَلَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُكَ لَمْ تَأْكُلْ مِنْ تَمْرِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَ هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ فَمَدَّ يَدَهُ ص وَ أَكَلَ وَ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ كُلُوا بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَ سَلْمَانُ الطَّبَقَ وَ يَقُولُ هَذَانِ اثْنَانِ

Then hera made other dates in the tray and carried it and place it in front of Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘Ira saw yousaww did not eat from the dates of charity and these are gifts. Hesaww extended hissaww hand and ate and said to hissaww companion: ‘Eat in the Name of Allahazwj’. Salmanra took the tray and hera said, ‘These are two’.

ثُمَّ دَارَ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَعَلِمَ ص مُرَادَهُ مِنْهُ فَأَرْخَى‏ رِدَاءَهُ عَنْ كَتِفَيْهِ فَرَأَى سَلْمَانُ الشَّامَةَ فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَبَّلَهَا وَ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

Then hera circled behind Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww knew hisasws purpose from himsaww, so hesaww took off hissaww robe from hissaww shoulder, and Salmanra saw the mark and fell upon it, kissing it, and said, ‘Ira testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and yousaww are a Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي عَبْدٌ لِيَهُودِيٍّ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَكَاتِبْهُ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ نَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَصَارَ سَلْمَانُ إِلَى الْيَهُودِيِّ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَسْلَمْتُ وَ اتَّبَعْتُ هَذَا النَّبِيَّ عَلَى دِينِهِ وَ لَا تَنْتَفِعُ بِي فَكَاتِبْنِي عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ أَدْفَعُهُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَمْلِكُ نَفْسِي

Then hera said, ‘Ira am a slave of a Jew, so what are yoursaww instructions for mera’. Hesaww said: ‘Go and contract him upon something, we shall hand it over to him’. Salmanra went to the Jew and said, ‘Ira have become a Muslim and am following this Prophetsaww upon hissaww Religion and you will not benefit with mera, so draw out a contract with mera upon something, Isaww hand it over to you and control myselfra’.

فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ أُكَاتِبُكَ عَلَى أَنْ تَغْرِسَ لِي خَمْسَمِائَةِ نَخْلَةٍ وَ تَخْدُمَهَا حَتَّى تَحْمِلَ ثُمَّ تُسَلِّمَهَا إِلَيَّ وَ عَلَى أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً ذَهَباً جَيِّداً وَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ ص اذْهَبْ فَكَاتِبْهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

The Jew said, ‘I shall contract youra upon that youra will plant five hundred palm trees for me, and youra will service these until they bear fruit, then youra will submit them to me, and upon four hundred ounces of new gold’. And hera went to Rasool-Allahsaww and informed himsaww with that. Hesaww said: ‘Go and contract him upon that’.

فَمَضَى سَلْمَانُ وَ كَاتَبَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ قَدَّرَ الْيَهُودِيُّ أَنَّ هَذِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ سِنِينَ وَ انْصَرَفَ سَلْمَانُ بِالْكِتَابِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ اذْهَبْ فَأْتِنِي بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ نَوَاةٍ فَجَاءَ سَلْمَانُ بِخَمْسِمِائَةِ نَوَاةٍ فَقَالَ سَلِّمْهَا إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِسَلْمَانَ اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي طَلَبَ النَّخْلَ فِيهَا فَذَهَبُوا إِلَيْهَا فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَثْقُبُ‏ الْأَرْضَ بِإِصْبَعِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لِعَلِيٍّ ضَعْ فِي الثَّقْبِ‏ نَوَاةً ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ التُّرَابَ عَلَيْهَا

Salmanra went and contracted with him upon that, and the Jew reckoned that this is something which cannot happen except after years, and Salmanra left with the contract to Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww said: ‘Go and come with five hundred seeds. Salmanra came with five hundred seeds. Hesaww said: ‘Submit them to mesaww’. Then hesaww said to Salmanra: ‘Come with us to the land which the palm trees are sought in’. They went to it, and Rasool-Allahsaww was making holes in the ground with hissaww fingers, then saying to Aliasws: ‘Place a seed in the hole, then return the soil upon it.

وَ يَفْتَحُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَصَابِعَهُ فَيَنْفَجِرُ الْمَاءُ مِنْ بَيْنِهَا فَيَسْقِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعَ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعٍ ثَانٍ‏ فَيَفْعَلُ بِهَا كَذَلِكَ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الثَّانِيَةِ تَكُونُ الْأُولَى قَدْ نَبَتَتْ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا تَكُونُ الْأُولَى قَدْ حَمَلَتْ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَ قَدْ نَبَتَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ وَ حَمَلَتِ الثَّانِيَةُ وَ هَكَذَا حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ غَرْسِ الْخَمْسِمِائَةِ وَ قَدْ حَمَلَتْ كُلُّهَا

And Rasool-Allahsaww opened hissaww fingers and the water burst out from between them, and that place was irrigated. Then hesaww came to a second place and did like that at it. When hesaww was free from the second, the first one happen to have grown. Then hesaww came to a third place, and when hesaww was free from it, the first had born fruit. Then hesaww came to the fourth, and the third had grown and the second had borne fruit, and like that until hesaww was free from planting five hundred, and all of them had born fruit.

فَنَظَرَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَ قَالَ صَدَقَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً سَاحِرٌ وَ قَالَ قَدْ قَبَضْتُ مِنْكَ النَّخْلَ فَأَيْنَ الذَّهَبُ فَتَنَاوَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَجَراً كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَصَارَ ذَهَباً أَجْوَدَ مَا يَكُونُ

The Jew looked and said, ‘Quraysh spoke the truth that Muhammadsaww is a sorcerer’, and said, ‘I have taken possession of the palm trees from youra, so where is the gold’. Rasool-Allahsaww grabbed a rock which was in front of himsaww and it became gold, new as it could happen to be.

فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ مَا رَأَيْتُ ذَهَباً قَطُّ مِثْلَهُ وَ قَدَّرَهُ مِثْلَ تَقْدِيرِ عَشَرَةِ أَوَاقِيَّ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي الْكِفَّةِ فَرَجَحَ فَزَادَ عَشْراً فَرَجَحَ حَتَّى صَارَ أَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً لَا تَزِيدُ وَ لَا تَنْقُصُ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ فَانْصَرَفْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَزِمْتُ خِدْمَتَهُ وَ أَنَا حُرٌّ.

The Jew said, ‘I have not seen gold like it at all’, and he valued it like ten Owqiyas, so he placed it in the palm and it outweighed and increased tent, and it outweighed and increased ten, until it became forty Owqiyas, neither more nor less. Salmanra said, ‘I left to go to Rasool-Allahsaww and necessitated to serving himsaww, and Ira was free’’.⁴⁴¹

7- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ غَدَاةَ يَوْمٍ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ لِي إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ تُوُفِّيَ وَ وَصَّانِي بِغُسْلِهِ وَ تَكْفِينِهِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ دَفْنِهِ وَ هَا أَنَا خَارِجٌ إِلَى الْمَدَائِنِ لِذَلِكَ

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that Aliasws entered the Masjid at Al-Medina one morning. Heasws said: ‘Iasws saw Rasool-Allahsaww in the dream and hesaww said to measws that Salmanra has passed away and bequeathed to measws with washing himra and enshrouding himra and the Salat upon himra and burying himra, and there Iasws was going out to Al-Madain for that.

فَقَالَ عُمَرُ خُذِ الْكَفَنَ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع ذَلِكَ مَكْفِيٌّ مَفْرُوغٌ مِنْهُ فَخَرَجَ وَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ إِلَى ظَاهِرِ الْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ وَ انْصَرَفَ النَّاسُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ ظَهِيرَةٍ رَجَعَ وَ قَالَ دَفَنْتُهُ وَ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا حَتَّى كَانَ بَعْدَ مُدَّةٍ وَصَلَ مِنَ الْمَدَائِنِ مَكْتُوبٌ أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ تُوُفِّيَ فِي يَوْمِ كَذَا وَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَغَسَّلَهُ وَ كَفَّنَهُ وَ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَ دَفَنَهُ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَتَعَجَّبَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ‏.

Umar said, ‘Take the shroud from the public treasury’. Aliasws said: ‘That has been suffice’, dismissing from it. Heasws went out and the people were with himasws to the outback of Al-Madain. Then heasws went out and the people left. When it was before afternoon, heasws returned and said, ‘Heasws is buried’, and most of the people did not ratify until it was after a time, and a letter came from Al-Madain, ‘Salmanra has expired during such and such day, and a Bedouin had come and washed himra, and enshrouded himra and prayed Salat upon himra and buried himra, then he left’. The people were astonished, all of them’’.⁴⁴²

8- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب‏ كَتَبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَهْداً لِحَيِّ سَلْمَانَ بِكَازِرُونَ هَذَا كِتَابٌ مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَأَلَهُ الْفَارِسِيُّ سَلْمَانُ وَصِيَّةً بِأَخِيهِ مِهَادِ بْنِ فَرُّوخَ بْنِ مَهْيَارَ وَ أَقَارِبِهِ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ عَقِبِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مَا تَنَاسَلُوا مَنْ أَسْلَمَ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَقَامَ عَلَى دِينِهِ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – ‘Rasool-Allahsaww wrote a pact for the tribe at Karoun: ‘This is an agreement from Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahasws, Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj. Al-Farsi Salmanra asked himsaww to bequeath hisra brother Mihad Bin Farukh Bin Mahyar, and hisra near ones, and hisra family, and hisra posterity from after himra what will be procreated, one from them who becomes a Muslim and stays upon his Religion, Peace of Allahazwj.

أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ أَقُولُهَا وَ آمُرُ النَّاسَ بِهَا وَ الْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ لِلَّهِ خَلَقَهُمْ وَ أَمَاتَهُمُ وَ هُوَ يَنْشُرُهُمْ‏ وَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ

Isaww praise Allahazwj to you. Allahazwj the Exalted Commanded mesaww that Isaww should say, there is no god except Allahazwj Alone, there being no associates for Himazwj. Isaww should say it and instruct the people with it, and the matter, all of it is for Allahazwj. Heazwj Creates them and Causes them to die and Heazwj will be Resurrecting them, and to Himazwj is the destination’.

ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ فِيهِ مِنِ احْتِرَامِ سَلْمَانَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ وَ قَدْ رَفَعْتُ عَنْهُمْ جَزَّ النَّاصِيَةِ وَ الْجِزْيَةَ وَ الْخُمُسَ وَ الْعُشْرَ وَ سَائِرَ الْمُؤَنِ وَ الْكُلَفِ فَإِنْ سَأَلُوكُمْ فَأَعْطُوهُمْ وَ إِنِ اسْتَغَاثُوا بِكُمْ فَأَغِيثُوهُمْ وَ إِنِ اسْتَجَارُوا بِكُمْ فَأَجِيرُوهُمْ وَ إِنْ أَسَاءُوا فَاغْفِرُوا لَهُمْ وَ إِنْ أُسِي‏ءَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَامْنَعُوا عَنْهُمْ وَ لْيُعْطَوْا مِنْ بَيْتِ مَالِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مِائَتَيْ حُلَّةٍ وَ مِنَ الْأَوَاقِيِّ مِائَةً فَقَدِ اسْتَحَقَّ سَلْمَانُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Then hesaww mentioned in it the respect of Salmanra up to hesaww said: ‘Isaww have lifted from them shaving the forelocks, and the taxation, and the fifth, and the tenth, and rest of the provisions, and the encumberments. So, if they were to ask you then give them, and if they seek help with you then help them, and if they seek employment with you then employ them, and they do (something) bad then forgive them, and if they are distressed (by others) then prevent (others) from them, and let them be given from the public treasury of the Muslims two hundred garments every year and one hundred from the Owqiyas, for Salmanra is deserving of that from Rasool-Allahsaww’.

ثُمَّ دَعَا لِمَنْ عَمِلَ بِهِ وَ دَعَا عَلَى مَنْ آذَاهُمْ وَ كَتَبَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ الْكِتَابُ إِلَى الْيَوْمِ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ يَعْمَلُ الْقَوْمُ بِرَسْمِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَلَوْ لَا ثِقَتُهُ بِأَنَ‏ دِينَهُ يُطْبِقُ الْأَرْضَ لَكَانَ كِتْبَةُ هَذَا السِّجِلِّ مُسْتَحِيلًا.

Then hesaww supplicated for the ones who work with it and supplicated against the ones who harm them, and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws wrote it, and the agreement is in their hands up to today and the people are working by the decree of the Prophetsaww. If hesaww had no confidence that hissaww Religion will be prevailing in the earth, hesaww would not have written this record would have been impossible’’.⁴⁴³

9- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ ع‏ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مَرَّ بِقَوْمٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَسَأَلُوهُ أَنْ يَجْلِسَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ يُحَدِّثَهُمْ بِمَا سَمِعَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي يَوْمِهِ هَذَا فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمْ لِحِرْصِهِ عَلَى إِسْلَامِهِمْ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّداً ص يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ يَا عِبَادِي أَ وَ لَيْسَ مَنْ لَهُ إِلَيْكُمْ حَوَائِجُ كِبَارٌ لَا تَجُودُونَ بِهَا إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَحَمَّلَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِأَحَبِّ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيْكُمْ تَقْضُونَهَا كَرَامَةً لِشَفِيعِهِمْ

Tafseer Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – Abu Muhammad Al-Askariasws said: ‘Salman Al-Farsias passed by a group, and they asked himas to be seated with them and narrate to them with what hera had heard from Muhammadsaww during that day of his. So heas sat with them due to hisas commitment to their Islam, and heas said: ‘Ias heard Muhammadsaww saying: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Saying: “O Myazwj servants! Isn’t it so that the one who has a big need for him to you, you would not be benevolent with it unless he brings over to you the one who is the most beloved of the people to you, (then) you fulfil it in honour of his intercession?

أَلَا فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَكْرَمَ الْخَلْقِ عَلَيَّ وَ أَفْضَلَهُمْ لَدَيَّ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ أَخُوهُ عَلِيٌّ وَ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الَّذِينَ هُمُ الْوَسَائِلُ إِلَيَّ

Indeed! Know that the most honourable of the people upon Meazwj and the most superior to Meazwj is Muhammadsaww and hissaww brother Aliasws, and from after himasws are the Imamsasws, those who are the means to Meazwj.

أَلَا فَلْيَدْعُنِي مَنْ هَمَّتْهُ حَاجَةٌ يُرِيدُ نَفْعَهَا أَوْ دَهَتْهُ‏ دَاهِيَةٌ يُرِيدُ كَشْفَ‏ ضَرَرِهَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الْأَفْضَلِينَ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ أَقْضِهَا لَهُ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَقْضِيهَا مِمَّنْ تَسْتَشْفِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَعَزِّ الْخَلْقِ عَلَيْهِ

Indeed! Therefore, let him supplicate to Meazwj, the one who is interested in his need being benefited, or his disaster, being a disaster sufficed with for its harm, (should supplicate) by Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws, the superior ones, the goodly ones, the clean ones. Iazwj shall Fulfil it for him better than what he would fulfil it, the one who is intercession of the most honourable of the people upon it”’.

فَقَالُوا لِسَلْمَانَ وَ هُمْ يَسْخَرُونَ وَ يَسْتَهْزِءُونَ بِهِ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مَا بَالُكَ لَا تَقْتَرِحُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ تَتَوَسَّلُ بِهِمْ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ أَغْنَى أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ

They said to Salmanas, they were mocking with himas, ‘O Abu Abdullah! So what is the matter with youas not suggesting to Allahazwj and beseeching by themasws, that Heazwj should Make youra the richest one of the people of Al-Medina?’

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ قَدْ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ بِهِمْ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ مَا هُوَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَفْضَلُ وَ أَنْفَعُ مِنْ مُلْكِ الدُّنْيَا بِأَسْرِهَا سَأَلْتُهُ بِهِمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَهَبَ لِي لِسَاناً لِتَمْجِيدِهِ وَ ثَنَائِهِ ذَاكِراً وَ قَلْباً لِآلَائِهِ شَاكِراً وَ عَلَى الدَّوَاهِي الدَّاهِيَةِ لِي صَابِراً وَ هُوَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ أَجَابَنِي إِلَى مُلْتَمَسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ مُلْكِ الدُّنْيَا بِحَذَافِيرِهَا وَ مَا تَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْرَاتِهَا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ

Salmanas said: ‘Ias have already supplicated to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by themasws, and asked Himazwj what is more immediate, and more superior, and more beneficial, than your kingdom of the world along with its captivity. Ias asked by themasws, that Heazwj Endows to me a tongue for praising Himazwj, and lauding Himazwj mentioning, and a heart thankful for Hisazwj Blessings, and patience upon myas disasters afflicting meas. And Heazwj, the Mighty and Majesty, has Answered meas to myasws asking of that, and it is superior than your kingdom of the world along with its strictness, and whatever is included upon it from its goodness, one hundred thousand, thousand times’.

قَالَ ع فَجَعَلُوا يَهْزَءُونَ بِهِ وَ يَقُولُونَ يَا سَلْمَانُ لَقَدْ ادَّعَيْتَ مَرْتَبَةً عَظِيمَةً شَرِيفَةً نَحْتَاجُ أَنْ نَمْتَحِنَ صِدْقَكَ عَنْ كَذِبِكَ فِيهَا وَ هَا نَحْنُ أَوَّلًا قَائِمُونَ‏ إِلَيْكَ بِسِيَاطِنَا فَضَارِبُوكَ بِهَا فَاسْأَلْ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَكُفَّ أَيْدِيَنَا عَنْكَ

Heasws said: ‘But they went on mocking himas with it, and they were saying, ‘O Salmanas! Youas have claimed a great rank, noble. We need to examine youras truthfulness from youras lies with regards to it, and over here, firstly we shall be standing to youas with whips and would be striking you with it. Ask youras Lordazwj if Heazwj could Refrain our hands from youas’.

فَجَعَلَ سَلْمَانُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ صَابِراً وَ جَعَلُوا يَضْرِبُونَهُ بِسِيَاطِهِمْ حَتَّى أَعْيَوْا وَ مَلُّوا وَ جَعَلَ سَلْمَانُ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ صَابِراً

Salmanas went on saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Make meas to be patience upon myas afflictions!’ And they went on striking himas with their whips until they were exhausted and fed up, and Salmanas went on increasing upon hisas words, ‘O Allahazwj! Make meas patient upon myas afflictions!’

فَلَمَّا مَلُّوا وَ أَعْيَوْا قَالُوا لَهُ يَا سَلْمَانُ مَا ظَنَنَّا أَنَّ رُوحاً ثَبَتَ‏ فِي مَقَرِّهَا مَعَ شِدَّةِ هَذَا الْعَذَابِ الْوَارِدِ عَلَيْكَ مَا بَالُكَ لَا تَسْأَلُ‏ رَبَّكَ أَنْ يَكُفَّنَا عَنْكَ فَقَالَ لِأَنَّ سُؤَالِي ذَلِكَ رَبِّي خِلَافُ الصَّبْرِ بَلْ سَلَّمْتُ لِإِمْهَالِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى لَكُمْ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ الصَّبْرَ

So when they were fed up and exhausted, they said to him, ‘O Salmanas! We never thought that any soul would be steadfast in its place along with the likes of this punishment inflicted upon youas. What is the matter with youas not asking youras Lordazwj to refrain us from youas?’ Heas said: ‘Because myas asking myas Lordazwj for that would be opposite of patience. But, Iazwj submitted to the Respite of Allahazwj the Exalted to you all, and asked Himazwj for the patience (instead)’.

فَلَمَّا اسْتَرَاحُوا قَامُوا إِلَيْهِ بَعْدُ بِسِيَاطِهِمْ فَقَالُوا لَا نَزَالُ نَضْرِبُكَ بِسِيَاطِنَا حَتَّى تَزْهَقَ رُوحُكَ أَوْ تَكْفُرَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص

When they had rested (for a while), they stood up (again) to him with their whips, and they said, ‘We will not cease to strike you with our whips until youras soul departs or youas express Kufr with Muhammadsaww’.

فَقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ‏ وَ إِنَّ احْتِمَالِي لِمَكَارِهِكُمْ لِأَدْخُلَ فِي جُمْلَةِ مَنْ مَدَحَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِذَلِكَ سَهْلٌ عَلَيَّ يَسِيرٌ

Heas said: ‘Ias would never do that, for Allahazwj has Revealed unto Muhammadsaww Those who are believing in the unseen [2:3], and that due to myas enduring your nuisance would include meas in the Phrase, with the ones whom Allahazwj Praised with that – it is easy upon meas’.

فَجَعَلُوا يَضْرِبُونَهُ بِسِيَاطِهِمْ حَتَّى مَلُّوا ثُمَّ قَعَدُوا وَ قَالُوا يَا سَلْمَانُ لَوْ كَانَ لَكَ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ قَدْرٌ لِإِيمَانِكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ لَاسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ دُعَاءَكَ وَ كَفَّنَا عَنْكَ

They went on striking himas with their whips until they were fed up. Then they sat down, and they said, ‘O Salmanas! If there was for youas, in the Presence of youras Lordazwj, any worth for youras Eman with Muhammadsaww, Allahazwj would have Answered youras supplication and Refrained us from youas’.

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ مَا أَجْهَلَكُمْ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ مُسْتَجِيباً دُعَائِي إِذَا فَعَلَ بِي خِلَافَ مَا أُرِيدُ مِنْهُ أَنَا أَرَدْتُ مِنْهُ الصَّبْرَ فَقَدِ اسْتَجَابَ لِي وَ صَبَّرَنِي وَ لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ كَفَّكُمْ عَنِّي فَيَمْنَعَنِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ ضِدَّ دُعَائِي كَمَا تَظُنُّونَ

Salmanas said, ‘How ignorant you are! How can it be an Answer to myas supplication when Heazwj Deals with meas opposite to what Ias want from Himazwj? Ias want the patience from Himazwj, so Heazwj has already Answered to meas and Made meas to be patient, and Ias did not ask Himazwj for your refraining from meas, so Defending meas would be opposite to myas supplication, as you are thinking’.

فَقَامُوا إِلَيْهِ ثَالِثَةً بِسِيَاطِهِمْ فَجَعَلُوا يَضْرِبُونَهُ وَ سَلْمَانُ لَا يَزِيدُ عَلَى قَوْلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ صَبِّرْنِي عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ فِي حُبِّ صَفِيِّكَ وَ خَلِيلِكَ‏ مُحَمَّدٍ

They stood up to himas for a third time, with their whips, so they went on striking him, and Salmanas did not increase upon hisas words, ‘O Allahazwj! Make meas to be patient upon the affliction for the Sake of the Love of Yourazwj elite and Yourazwj friend Muhammadsaww’.

فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا سَلْمَانُ وَيْحَكَ أَ وَ لَيْسَ مُحَمَّدٌ قَدْ رَخَّصَ لَكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ بِهِ مَا تَعْتَقِدُ ضِدَّهُ لِلتَّقِيَّةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ فَمَا لَكَ لَا تَقُولُ مَا نَقْتَرِحُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ لِلتَّقِيَّةِ

They said to himas, ‘O Salmanas, Woe be unto youas! Or hasn’t Muhammadsaww allowed youas to be saying phrases of Kufr with himsaww opposite to youras beliefs out of Taqiyyah (dissimulation) from youras enemies? So what is the matter with youas not saying what relieve youas out of Taqiyyah?’

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ رَخَّصَ لِي فِي ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَفْرِضْهُ عَلَيَّ بَلْ أَجَازَ لِي أَنْ لَا أُعْطِيَكُمْ مَا تُرِيدُونَ وَ أَحْتَمِلَ مَكَارِهَكُمْ وَ جَعَلَهُ أَفْضَلَ الْمَنْزِلَتَيْنِ وَ أَنَا لَا أَخْتَارُ غَيْرَهُ

Salmanas said: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted has Allowed for meas with regards to that, and did not Impose upon meas. But Heazwj has Allowed for meas that Ias should not give you what you all are wanting, and endure your nuisance, and Make it to be the more superior of the two statuses, and Ias do not chose other than it’.

ثُمَّ قَامُوا إِلَيْهِ بِسِيَاطِهِمْ وَ ضَرَبُوهُ ضَرْباً كَثِيراً وَ سَيَّلُوا دِمَاءَهُ وَ قَالُوا لَهُ وَ هُمْ سَاخِرُونَ لَا تَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ كَفَّنَا عَنْكَ وَ لَا تُظْهِرْ لَنَا مَا نُرِيدُهُ مِنْكَ لِنَكُفَّ بِهِ عَنْكَ فَادْعُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْهَلَاكِ إِنْ كُنْتَ‏ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ فِي دَعْوَاكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يَرُدُّ دُعَاءَكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ

Then they stood up to himas with their whips, and they struck himas with a lot of strikes, and hisas blood flowed, and they said to himas while they were mocking, ‘Youas are neither asking Allahazwj to Refrain us from youas, nor are youas manifesting to us what we want from youas in order for us to refrain from youas due to it, therefore supplicate against us with the destruction, if youas are from the truthful ones in youras supplication – that Allahazwj will not Reject youras supplication by Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws, the clean’.

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لِهَلَاكِكُمْ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيكُمْ مَنْ قَدْ عَلِمَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ سَيُؤْمِنُ بَعْدُ فَأَكُونَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اقْتِطَاعَهُ عَنِ الْإِيمَانِ

Salmanas said, ‘Ias dislike it that Ias should supplicate to Allahazwj for your destruction, out of fear that there would happen to be among you one whom Allahazwj has Known that he would be believing afterwards, so Ias would have ended up asking Allahazwj the Exalted for his being cut off from the Eman’.

فَقَالُوا قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِكْ مَنْ كَانَ فِي مَعْلُومِكَ‏ أَنَّهُ يَبْقَى إِلَى الْمَوْتِ عَلَى تَمَرُّدِهِ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تُصَادِفُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مَا خِفْتَهُ

They said, ‘Say, ‘O Allahazwj! Destroy the ones who were in Yourazwj Knowledge that he would be remaining upon his contumacy up to the death, for youas would not be encountering with this supplicating, what youas fear’.

قَالَ فَانْفَرَجَ لَهُ حَائِطُ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي هُوَ فِيهِ مَعَ الْقَوْمِ وَ شَاهَدَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا سَلْمَانُ ادْعُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْهَلَاكِ فَلَيْسَ فِيهِمْ أَحَدٌ يُرْشَدُ كَمَا دَعَا نُوحٌ ع عَلَى قَوْمِهِ لَمَّا عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُؤْمِنَ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ قَدْ آمَنَ

Heasws said, ‘So it cleaved asunder for himas, the wall of the house which heas was in along with the group, and heas saw Rasool-Allahsaww and hesaww was saying: ‘O Salmanas! Supplicate against them, for there isn’t anyone among them who would be Guided, just as Noahas supplicated against hisas people, when heas recognised that they would never believe from his people except the one who had already believed’.

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ كَيْفَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْهَلَاكِ فَقَالُوا تَدْعُو أَنْ يَقْلِبَ اللَّهُ سَوْطَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا أَفْعًى تَعْطِفُ رَأْسَهَا ثُمَّ تُمَشِّشُ‏ عِظَامَ سَائِرِ بَدَنِهِ

Salmanas said: ‘How are you all wanting meas to be supplicating against you?’ They said, ‘Supplicate to Allahazwj that Heazwj Transforms the whips of each one of us into a snake, stoop upon his head, then devour the bones of the rest of his body’.

فَدَعَا اللَّهَ بِذَلِكَ فَمَا مِنْ سِيَاطِهِمْ سَوْطٌ إِلَّا قَلَبَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمْ أَفْعًى لَهَا رَأْسَانِ فَتَتَنَاوَلُ‏ بِرَأْسٍ مِنْهَا رَأْسَهُ وَ بِرَأْسٍ آخَرَ يَمِينَهُ الَّتِي كَانَ فِيهَا سَوْطُهُ ثُمَّ رَضَّضَتْهُمْ وَ مَشَّشَتْهُمْ وَ بَلَعَتْهُمْ وَ الْتَقَمَتْهُمْ

Heas supplicated to Allahazwj with that, and there was none from their whips except Allahazwj the Exalted Transformed it upon them as a snake having two heads for it, grabbing with a head of it, his head, and with the other head of its, his right hand, in which was the whip. Then they stung them, and grabbed them, and gnawed them, and swallowed them up.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ مَعَاشِرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ نَصَرَ أَخَاكُمْ سَلْمَانَ سَاعَتَكُمْ هَذِهِ عَلَى عِشْرِينَ مِنْ مَرَدَةِ الْيَهُودِ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَلَبَ سِيَاطَهُمْ أَفَاعِيَ رَضَّضَتْهُمْ وَ مَشَّشَتْهُمْ وَ هَشَّمَتْ عِظَامَهُمْ وَ الْتَقَمَتْهُمْ فَقُومُوا بِنَا نَنْظُرْ إِلَى تِلْكَ الْأَفَاعِي الْمَبْعُوثَةِ لِنُصْرَةِ سَلْمَانَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said, and hesaww was in hissaww gathering: ‘Group of Momineen! Allahazwj the Exalted has Helped your brother Salmanas during this time of yours, against twenty Jewish apostates and the hypocrites. Heazwj Transformed their whips into snakes, which gnawed them and swallowed, and crushed their bones and devoured them. Therefore, arise with ussaww to look at those snakes, the ones Sent for the help of Salmanas!’

فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَصْحَابُهُ إِلَى تِلْكَ الدَّارِ وَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهَا جِيرَانُهَا مِنَ الْيَهُودِ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا ضَجِيجَ الْقَوْمِ بِالْتِقَامِ الْأَفَاعِي لَهُمْ وَ إِذَا هُمْ خَائِفُونَ مِنْهَا نَافِرُونَ مِنْ قُرْبِهَا

Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww companions stood up to go to that house, and its neighbours from the Jews and the hypocrites had gathered to it due to what they had heard of the commotion of the group with the swallowing of the snakes of them, and when they were fearing from them, fleeing from their coming near them.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَرَجَتْ كُلُّهَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَى شَارِعِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ كَانَ شَارِعاً ضَيِّقاً فَوَسَّعَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ جَعَلَهُ عَشَرَةَ أَضْعَافِهِ

When Rasool-Allahsaww came up, everyone from the house came out to the streets of Al-Medina, and it was a narrow street, but Allahazwj the Exalted Expanded it and Made it to be ten-fold.

ثُمَّ نَادَتِ الْأَفَاعِي السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا سَيِّدَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا سَيِّدَ الْوَصِيِّينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِكَ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ الَّذِينَ جُعِلُوا عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ قَوَّامِينَ هَا نَحْنُ سِيَاطُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَلَبَنَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَفَاعِيَ بِدُعَاءِ هَذَا الْمُؤْمِنِ سَلْمَانَ

Then the snake called out, ‘The greetings be upon yousaww, O Muhammadsaww, O Chief of the former ones and the latter ones! The greetings be upon youasws, O Aliasws, Chief of the successorsas. The greetings be upon yourasws offspring, the goodly ones, the clean – those Made to be as caretakers upon the people! Yes, we are the whips of those hypocrites which Allahazwj the Exalted Transformed us as snakes due to the supplication of this Momin Salmanas’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي‏ مَنْ يُضَاهِي بِدُعَائِهِ عِنْدَ كَفِّهِ وَ عِنْدَ انْبِسَاطِهِ نُوحاً نَبِيَّهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Made one from mysaww community as the one who can be compared, by hisra supplication during refraining from it and delaying it, to Noahas, Hisazwj Prophetas’.

ثُمَّ نَادَتِ الْأَفَاعِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدِ اشْتَدَّ غَضَبُنَا غَيْظاً عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ أَحْكَامُكَ وَ أَحْكَامُ وَصِيِّكَ جَائِزَةٌ عَلَيْنَا فِي مَمَالِكِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَنَا مِنْ أَفَاعِي جَهَنَّمَ الَّتِي تكون [نَكُونُ‏] فِيهَا لِهَؤُلَاءِ مُعَذِّبِينَ كَمَا كُنَّا لَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا مُلْتَقِمِينَ

Then the snake called out, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Our anger has intensified upon these Kafirs, and youras decision and the decision of yoursaww successorasws is allowed, in the Kingdoms of the Lordazwj of the worlds, and we ask yousaww to ask Allahazwj the Exalted that Heazwj should Make us to be from the snakes of Hell which we should be existing in it for tormenting these ones, just as we are for them in this world, as tormentors’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ أَجَبْتُكُمْ إِلَى ذَلِكَ فَالْحَقُوا بِالطَّبَقِ الْأَسْفَلِ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَقْذِفُوا مَا فِي أَجْوَافِكُمْ مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَافِرِينَ لِيَكُونَ أَتَمَّ لِخِزْيِهِمْ وَ أَبْقَى لِلْعَارِ عَلَيْهِمْ إِذَا كَانُوا بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ مَدْفُونِينَ يَعْتَبِرُ بِهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ الْمَارُّونَ بِقُبُورِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمَلْعُونُونَ الْمَخْزِيُّونَ بِدُعَاءِ وَلِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ سَلْمَانَ الْخَيْرِ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww have answered you to that. Therefore, join with the lowest layer of Hell after regurgitating whatever is in your insides - from the body parts of these Kafirs, in order for it to become a completion of their disgrace and as a reminder of the shame upon them – when they would happen to be buried in your midst, the Momineen would take a lesson with them. The ones passing by their graves would be saying, ‘These are the accursed ones, the ones disgraced by the supplication of a friend of Muhammadsaww, Salmanra, the best from the Momineen’.

فَقَذَفَتِ الْأَفَاعِي مَا فِي بُطُونِهَا مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ أَبْدَانِهِمْ فَجَاءَ أَهْلُوهُمْ فَدَفَنُوهُمْ وَ أَسْلَمَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ أَخْلَصَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ غَلَبَ الشَّقَاءُ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ قَالُوا هَذَا سِحْرٌ مُبِينٌ

The snakes regurgitated whatever was in their bellies, from the parts of their bodies, and their family members came over and buried them, and a lot from the Kafirs became Muslims, and a lot from the hypocrites became sincere, and the wretched ones overcame upon a lot of the Kafirs and the hypocrites, so they said, ‘This is clear sorcery!’

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ مِنْ خَوَاصِّ إِخْوَانِنَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مِنْ أَحْبَابِ قُلُوبِ مَلَائِكَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ إِنَّكَ فِي مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْحُجُبِ وَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ الْعَرْشِ وَ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الثَّرَى أَشْهَرُ فِي فَضْلِكَ عِنْدَهُمْ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الطَّالِعَةِ فِي يَوْمٍ لَا غَيْمَ فِيهِ وَ لَا قَتَرَ وَ لَا غُبَارَ فِي الْجَوِّ أَنْتَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ الْمَمْدُوحِينَ بِقَوْلِهِ‏ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ‏.

Then Rasool-Allahsaww turned to face Salmanas, and hesaww said: ‘O Abu Abdullahas! Youas are from the special ones of oursaww brethren Momineen, and from the ones most beloved to the hearts of the Angels of Proximity. Youas, in the Kingdoms of the skies, and the Veils, and the Chair, and the Throne, and whatever is besides that up to the soil, are more famous regarding youras merits in their presence than the emerging sun in a day in which there is neither a cloud in it, nor any darkness, nor any dust in the atmosphere. Youas are from the most meritorious ones, the ones Praised by Hisazwj Words: Those who are believing in the unseen [2:3]’’.⁴⁴⁴

10- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب رَوَى حَبِيبُ بْنُ حَسَنٍ الْعَتَكِيُّ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ أَعْظَمَ اللَّهُ أَجْرَكُمْ فِي أَخِيكُمْ سَلْمَانَ فَقَالُوا فِي ذَلِكَ فَلَبِسَ عِمَامَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ دُرَّاعَتَهُ وَ أَخَذَ قَضِيبَهُ وَ سَيْفَهُ وَ رَكِبَ عَلَى الْعَضْبَاءِ وَ قَالَ لِقَنْبَرٍ عُدَّ عَشْراً

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – It is reported by Habeeb Bin Hassan Al Ataky, from Jabir Al Ansari who said,

‘Amir Al-Momineenasws prayed Salat (leading) us the morning Salat, then turned towards us and said: ‘Community of people! May Allahazwj Magnify your Recompense regarding your brother Salmanra!’ They said (Words) regarding that. Heasws wore the turban of Rasool-Allahsaww, and hissaww armour, and grabbed hissaww staff and hissaww sword and rode upon Al Azba’a (mule) and said to Qanbar: ‘Count (to) ten!’

قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ عَلَى بَابِ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ زَاذَانُ فَلَمَّا أَدْرَكَتْ سَلْمَانَ الْوَفَاةُ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَنِ الْمُغَسِّلُ لَكَ قَالَ مَنْ غَسَّلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقُلْتُ إِنَّكَ بِالْمَدَائِنِ وَ هُوَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ يَا زَاذَانُ إِذَا شَدَّدْتَ لَحْيَيَّ تَسْمَعُ الْوَجْبَةَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He did so and there we were at the door of Salmanra. Zazan said, ‘When the expiry came to Salmanra I said to himra, ‘Who is for washing youra?’ Hera said, ‘The one who washed Rasool-Allahsaww’. I said, ‘Youra are at Al Madain and heasws is in Al Medina’. Hera said: ‘O Zazan! When the beard is tied (Ira pass away), you will hear the voice of the silent one’.

فَلَمَّا شَدَّدْتُ لَحْيَيْهِ سَمِعْتُ الْوَجْبَةَ وَ أَدْرَكْتُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ يَا زَاذَانُ قَضَى أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ سَلْمَانُ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا سَيِّدِي فَدَخَلَ وَ كَشَفَ الرِّدَاءَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ فَتَبَسَّمَ سَلْمَانُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْحَباً يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِذَا لَقِيتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقُلْ لَهُ مَا مَرَّ عَلَى أَخِيكَ مِنْ قَوْمِكَ

When hisra beard was tied (hera passed away) I heard the voice of the silent one. I went to the door and there I was with Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heasws said: ‘O Zazan! Abu Abdullah Salmanra has passed away’. I said, ‘Yes my Masterasws!’ Heasws entered and removed the covering from hisra face. Salmanra smiled at Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heasws said to himra: ‘Hello O Abu Abdullah! When youra meet Rasool-Allahsaww, say to himsaww, ‘How bitter it has been upon yoursaww brotherasws from yoursaww people’.

ثُمَّ أَخَذَ فِي تَجْهِيزِهِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ كُنَّا نَسْمَعُ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع تَكْبِيراً شَدِيداً وَ كُنْتُ رَأَيْتُ مَعَهُ رَجُلَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا جَعْفَرٌ أَخِي وَ الْآخَرُ الْخَضِرُ ع وَ مَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا سَبْعُونَ صَفّاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فِي كُلِّ صَفٍّ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ‏.

Then heasws prepared himra. When hesaww prayed Salat upon himra we were hearing intense exclamations of Takbeer from Amir Al-Momineenasws, and we saw two men being with himasws. Heasws said: ‘One of them is myasws brother Ja’farasws and the other is Al-Khizras, and with each one of them were seventy rows of the Angels, in each row were a thousand thousand Angels’’.⁴⁴⁵

(The book) ‘Rijaal’ of Al Kashy – Hamdawiya Bin Nuseyr, from Abu Al Hassan Bin Nuh, from Safwan, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Salmanra understood the first knowledge and the last knowledge and hera is an ocean not to be displaced, and hera is from usasws the Peopleasws of the Household. It reached from hisra knowledge, hera passed by a man in a group. Hera said to him, ‘O Abu Abdullah! Repent to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic from that which you did in the interior of your house last night’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَقَالَ لَهُ الْقَوْمُ لَقَدْ رَمَاكَ سَلْمَانُ بِأَمْرٍ فَمَا رَفَعْتَهُ‏ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي بِأَمْرٍ مَا اطَّلَعَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَا.

Heasws said: ‘Then he continued, and the group said to him, ‘Salmanra has accused you with a matter, why don’t you remove it from yourself?’ He said, ‘Hera informed me with a matter which had not been notified to anyone except Allahazwj and I’’.

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنَ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ.

And in another Hadeeth – Similar to it, and there is an addition at the end that the man was Abu Bakr Bin Abu Quhafa’.

(The book) of Al Kashy – Jibraeel Bin Ahmad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Munkhal, from Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Abu Zarrra went to Salmanra and hera was cooking in a pot of hisra. While theyra were discussing when the pot spilled over upon its face upon the ground, but nothing from its broth nor from its oil fell. Abu Zarrra was astonished from that with intense astonishment, and Salmanra took the pot and placed it back upon its former state upon the fire for a second times, and they returned to the discussion.

فَبَيْنَمَا هُمَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ إِذَا انْكَبَّتِ الْقِدْرُ عَلَى وَجْهِهَا فَلَمْ يَسْقُطْ مِنْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ مَرَقِهَا وَ لَا مِنْ وَدَكِهَا

While theyra were discussing, when the pot spilled upon its face but nothing from it fell, neither from its broth nor from its oil.

قَالَ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ هُوَ مَذْعُورٌ مِنْ عِنْدِ سَلْمَانَ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ مُتَفَكِّرٌ إِذْ لَقِيَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَلَى الْبَابِ فَلَمَّا أَنْ بَصُرَ بِهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ لَهُ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ مَا الَّذِي أَخْرَجَكَ وَ مَا الَّذِي ذَعَرَكَ‏

Heasws said: ‘Abu Zarrra went out and hera was alarmed from being in the presence of Salmanra, when hera met Amir Al-Momineenasws at the door. When Amir Al-Momineenasws sighted himra, said to himra: ‘O Abu Zarrra! What is that which made youra come out and what is that which alarmed youra?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَأَيْتُ سَلْمَانَ صَنَعَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَعَجِبْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَا بَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ لَوْ حَدَّثَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ لَقُلْتَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ قَاتِلَ سَلْمَانَ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ بَابُ اللَّهِ فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ عَرَفَهُ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً وَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُ كَانَ كَافِراً وَ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ‏.

Abu Zarrra said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Ira saw Salmanra do such and such, and Ira was astonished from that’. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! Surely, Salmanra, if hera were to narrate to youra with what hera knows, youra will say, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy, Salmanra will be killed’. O Abu Zarrra! Salmanra is a Door of Allahazwj in the earth, one who recognises himra would be a Momin and one who denies himra would be a Kafi, and that Salmanra is from usasws the Peopleasws of the Household’’.⁴⁴⁷

13- يل، الفضائل لابن شاذان حدثنا الإمام شيخ الإسلام أبو الحسن بن علي بن محمد المهدي بالإسناد الصحيح عن الأصبغ بن نباتة أنه قال‏ كنت مع سلمان الفارسي رحمه الله و هو أمير المدائن في زمان أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب ع و ذلك أنه قد ولاه المدائن عمر بن الخطاب فقام إلى أن ولي الأمر علي بن أبي طالب ع

(The book) ‘Al Fazaail’ of Ibn Shazan – It is narrated to us by the imam sheykh of Al Islam Abu Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Al Mahdy by the correct chain from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata having said,

‘I was with Salman Al-Farsira and hera was the Emir of Al-Madain in the era of Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and that is hera had been made the governor by Umar Bin Al-Khattab, and hera had stayed up to the rule of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

قال الأصبغ فأتيته يوما و قد مرض مرضه الذي مات فيه قال فلم أزل أعوده في مرضه حتى اشتد به الأمر و أيقن بالموت قال فالتفت إلي و قال لي يا أصبغ عهدي برسول الله ص يقول يا سلمان سيكلمك ميت إذا دنت وفاتك و قد اشتهيت أن أدري وفاتي دنت أم لا

Al-Asbagh said, ‘I went to himra one day and hera had fallen sick in hisra illness in which hera passed away. I did not cease to console himra in hisra illness until the matter became difficult with himasws and hera was certain of the death. Hera turned towards me and said to me, ‘O Asbagh! Rasool-Allahsaww made a pact with mera saying: ‘O Salmanra! The dead will speak to youra when yourra expiry approaches’, and Ira have been desirous to know that whether myra expiry has approached or not’.

فقال الأصبغ بما ذا تأمر يا سلمان يا أخي قال له تخرج و تأتيني بسرير و تفرش عليه ما يفرش للموتى ثم تحملني بين أربعة فتأتون بي إلى المقبرة فقال الأصبغ حبا و كرامة فخرجت مسرعا و غبت ساعة و أتيته بسرير و فرشت عليه ما يفرش للموتى ثم أتيته بقوم حملوه حتى أتوا به إلى المقبرة فلما وضعوه فيها قال لهم يا قوم استقبلوا بوجهي القبلة

Al-Asbagh said, ‘What is that youra are instructing, O Salmanra, O my brotherra?’ Hera said to him: ‘Bring me a bier (table) and furnish upon it what tends to be furnished for the deceased, then carry measws between four and come with mera to the graveyard’. Al-Asbagh said (words of) love and honour. He went out hastily and disappeared for a while and came with a bier and furnished upon it what tends to be furnished for the deceased. Then a people came and carried himra until they came with himra to the graveyard. When they placed himra in it, hera said to them, ‘O people, face myra face towards the Qiblah’.

فلما استقبل القبلة بوجهه نادى بعلو صوته السلام عليكم يا أهل عرصة البلاء السلام عليكم يا محتجبين عن الدنيا

When hera was facing the Qiblah, hera called out at the top of hisra voice, ‘The greetings be upon you, O people of the plains of calamities! The greetings be upon you, O one veiled from the world!’.

قال فلم يجبه أحد فنادى ثانية السلام عليكم يا من جعلت المنايا لهم غداء السلام عليكم يا من جعلت الأرض عليكم غطاء السلام عليكم يا من لقوا أعمالهم في دار الدنيا السلام عليكم يا منتظرين النفخة الأولى

He said, ‘No one answered himra, so hera called out for a second time, ‘The greetings be upon you, O ones the death have been made to be a lunch for them! O ones the earth has been made to be a covering upon you! The greetings be upon you, O ones who met their deeds in the house of the world! The greetings be upon you, O awaiters of the first blowing (of the trumpet)!

سألتكم بالله العظيم و النبي الكريم إلا أجابني منكم مجيب فأنا سلمان الفارسي مولى رسول الله ص فإنه قال لي يا سلمان إذا دنت وفاتك سيكلمك ميت و قد اشتهيت أن أدري دنت وفاتي أم لا

Ira ask you by Allahazwj the Magnificent and the honourable Prophetsaww, an answerer from you should answer mera, for Ira am Salman Al-Farsira, slave of Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww had said to mera: ‘O Salmanra! When yourra expiry approaches, the dead will speak to you, and Ira have desired to know whether myra expiry has drawn near or not’.

فلما سكت سلمان من كلامه فإذا هو بميت قد نطق من قبره و هو يقول السلام عليك و رحمة الله و بركاته يا أهل البناء و الفناء المشتغلون بعرصة الدنيا ها نحن لكلامك مستمعون و لجوابك مسرعون فسل عما بدا لك يرحمك الله تعالى

When Salmanra was silent from hisra speech, and there hera was with a deceased speaking from his grave and he was saying, ‘The greetings be to youra and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings. O people of the buildings and the perishing, the ones pre-occupied with the plains of the world. Here we are listening to yourra speech and being quick to answer youra, so ask whatever comes to youra, may Allahazwj the Exalted have Mercy on youra’.

قال سلمان أيها الناطق بعد الموت المتكلم بعد حسرة الفوت أ من أهل الجنة أم من أهل النار فقال يا سلمان أنا ممن أنعم الله تعالى عليه بعفوه و كرمه و أدخله جنته برحمته

Salmanra said, ‘O you speaker after the death, the speaker after regret of the death, are you from the people of the Paradise or from the people of the Fire?’ He said, ‘O Salmanra! I am from the ones Allahazwj the Exalted Conferred upon with Hisazwj Pardon and Hisazwj Honour and Entered me into Hisazwj Garden by Hisazwj Mercy’.

فقال له سلمان الآن يا عبد الله صف لي الموت كيف وجدته و ما ذا لقيت منه و ما رأيت و ما عاينت قال مهلا يا سلمان فو الله إن قرضا بالمقاريض و نشرا بالمناشير لأهون علي من غصة الموت

Salmanra said to him, ‘Now, O servant of Allahazwj, describe to measws the death and how you found it to be and what is that you faced from it, and what you saw and what you witnessed’. He said, ‘Shh, no, O Salmanra! By Allahazwj! Being cut by the scissor and sawn by the saws would have been easier upon me than the agony of death.

اعلم أني كنت في دار الدنيا ممن ألهمني الله تعالى الخير و كنت أعمل به و أؤدي فرائضه و أتلو كتابه و أحرص في بر الوالدين و أجتنب المحارم‏ و أفزع عن المظالم‏ و أكد الليل و النهار في طلب الحلال خوفا من وقفة السؤال فبينا أنا في ألذ عيش و غبطة و فرح و سرور إذ مرضت و بقيت في مرضي أياما حتى انقضت من الدنيا مدتي

Know that I was in the house of the world from the one who Allahazwj the Exalted Inspired the good to me, and I used to act with it, and fulfilled Hisazwj Obligations, and recited Hisazwj Book, and was covetous in being righteous with the parents, and shunned the Prohibitions, and was scared of being unjust, and I struggled night and day in seeking the Permissible (sustenance) fearing from pausing at begging. Which I was in the pleasure of life and exultation, and happiness, and cheerfulness when I became sick and remained in my illness for days until my term from the world expired.

فأتاني عند ذلك شخص عظيم الخلقة فظيع المنظر فوقف مقابل وجهي لا إلى السماء صاعدا و لا إلى الأرض نازلا فأشار إلى بصري فأعماه و إلى سمعي فأصمه و إلى لساني‏ فعقره‏ فصرت لا أبصر و لا أسمع فعند ذلك بكوا أهلي و أعواني و ظهر خبري إلى إخواني و جيراني

During that there came to me a person of large body, horrible sight, and he paused facing my face, neither ascending to the sky nor descending to the earth. He gestured towards my sight and blinded it, and to my hearing and deafened it, and to my tongue and muted it, and I became neither seeing, nor hearing. During that my family and my assistants were crying and my news appeared to my brothers and my neighbours.

فقلت له عند ذلك من أنت يا هذا الذي أشغلتني عن مالي و أهلي و ولدي فقال أنا ملك الموت أتيتك لأنقلك من دار الدنيا إلى الآخرة فقد انقضت مدتك و جاءت منيتك

I said to him during that, ‘Who are you, O you who has pre-occupied me from my wealth and my family and my children?’ He said, ‘I am the Angel of death. I have come to you in order to uproot you from the house of the world to the Hereafter, for your term has expired and your death has come’.

فبينا هو كذلك يخاطبني إذ أتاني شخصان و هما أحسن خلق رأيت‏ فجلس أحدهما عن يميني و الآخر عن شمالي فقالا لي السلام عليك و رحمة الله و بركاته قد جئناك بكتابك فخذه الآن و انظر ما فيه

While he was like that, addressing me, when two persons came, and they were both of beautiful creation I had seen. One of them sat on my right and the other on my left. They said to me, ‘The greetings be upon you and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings! We have come to you with your book, so take it now and look at what is in it’.

فقلت لهم أي كتاب لي أقرؤه قالا نحن الملكان اللذان كنا معك في دار الدنيا نكتب ما لك و ما عليك فهذا كتاب عملك فنظرت في كتاب الحسنات و هو بيد الرقيب فسرني ما فيه و ما رأيت من الخير فضحكت عند ذلك و فرحت فرحا شديدا و نظرت إلى كتاب السيئات و هو بيد العتيد فساءني ما رأيت و أبكاني

I said to them, ‘Which book is for me to be reading it?’ They said, ‘We are the two Angels, those who were with you in the house of the world. We wrote down whatever was for you and whatever was against you. Thus, this is the book of your deeds’. I looked into the book of good deeds and it was in the hand of Al-Raqeeb, and it cheered me what was in it, and I did not see the good deed and I laughed during that, and was happy with intense happiness, and I looked into the book of evil deeds and it was in the hand of Al-Ateed, and it gloomed me what I saw and made me cry.

فقالا لي أبشر فلك الخير ثم دنا مني الشخص الأول فجذب الروح فليس من جذبة يجذبها إلا و هي تقوم مقام كل شدة من السماء إلى الأرض فلم يزل كذلك حتى صارت الروح في صدري ثم أشار إلي بحربة لو أنها وضعت على الجبال لذابت فقبض روحي من عرنين أنفي

They said to me, ‘Receive glad tidings, the good is for you’. Then the first person came near me and pulled out the soul, and there isn’t any pulling except and it stands in the place of every difficulty from the sky to the earth. It did not cease to be like that until the soul came to be in my chest. Then he gestured to me with a bayone (of fire), if it were to be placed upon the mountain, it would melt. He captured my soul from the nostrils of my nose.

فعلا عند ذلك الصراخ و ليس من شي‏ء يقال أو يفعل إلا و أنا به عالم فلما اشتد صراخ القوم و بكاؤهم جزعا علي فالتفت [التفت‏] إليهم ملك الموت بغيظ و حنق و قال معاشر القوم مم بكاؤكم

During that, the screaming rose (from my family) and there wasn’t anything which was said to be done except and I was knowing with it. When the screaming of the people and their crying intensified in alarm upon me, the Angel of death turned towards them with rage and resentment and said, ‘O community of people! What are you crying from?

فو الله ما ظلمناه فتشكوا و لا اعتدينا عليه فتصيحوا و تبكوا و لكن نحن و أنتم عند رب واحد و لو أمرتم فينا كما أمرنا فيكم لامتثلتم فينا كما امتثلنا فيكم

By Allahazwj, we are not being unjust to him so you are complaining, nor have we exceeded upon him so you are shouting and crying, but we and you are servants of One Lordazwj, and if Heazwj were to Command you regarding us just as Heazwj has Commanded us regarding you, you will do similar regarding us just as we are (doing) regarding you.

و الله ما أخذناه حتى فني رزقه و انقطعت مدته و صار إلى رب كريم يحكم فيه ما يشاء و هو على كل شي‏ء قدير فإن صبرتم أجرتم‏ و إن جزعتم أثمتم كم لي من رجعة إليكم أخذ [آخذ] البنين و البنات و الآباء و الأمهات

By Allahazwj! We did not seize him until his sustenance had perished and his term had come to an end, and he has come to his Benevolent Lordazwj to Judge regarding him whatever Heazwj so Desires to, and Heazwj is Able upon all things. So, if you are patient, you will be Recompensed, and if you panic you will be sinning. How many times I return to you to seize the sons and the daughters and the fathers and the mothers’.

ثم انصرف عند ذلك عني و الروح معه فعند ذلك أتاه ملك‏ آخر فأخذها منه و تركها في ثوب من حرير و صعد بها و وضعها بين يدي الله في أقل من طبقة جفن فلما حصلت الروح بين يدي ربي سبحانه و تعالى و سألها عن الصغيرة و الكبيرة و عن الصلاة و الصيام في شهر رمضان و حج بيت الله الحرام و قراءة القرآن و الزكاة و الصدقات و سائر الأوقات و الأيام و طاعة الوالدين و عن قتل النفس بغير الحق و أكل مال اليتيم و عن مظالم العباد و عن التهجد بالليل و الناس نيام و ما يشاكل ذلك

Then, during that, he turned away from me and the soul was with him. During that another Angel came to him and took it from him and left it in a silken cloth and ascended with it and placed it in front of Allahazwj in less than the blink of an eye. When the soul was there in front of my Lordazwj Glorious and Exalted, and Heazwj Asked it about the minor and the major (sins), and about the Salat, and the Fasts during Month of Ramazan, and Hajj of the House of Allahazwj the Sacred, and reciting the Quran, and the Zakat, and the charities, and the rest of the timings, and the days, and obeying the parents, and about killing the person without a right, and eating the wealth of the orphans, and about the injustices to the servants, and about the (Salat) Tahajjud at night while the people slept, and what resembles that.

ثم من بعد ذلك ردت الروح إلى الأرض بإذن الله تعالى فعند ذلك أتاني غاسل فجردني من أثوابي و أخذ في تغسيلي فنادته الروح يا عبد الله رفقا بالبدن الضعيف فو الله ما خرجت من عرق إلا انقطع و لا عضو إلا انصدع فو الله لو سمع الغاسل ذلك القول لما غسل ميتا أبدا

Then from after that the soul was returned to the earth by the Permission of Allahazwj the Exalted. During that the washer came to me and uncovered me from my clothes and took to washing me. The soul cried out, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Be kind with the weak body, for by Allahazwj I did not come out from a vein except it was cut off, nor a limb except it hurt’. By Allahazwj! If the washer had heard those words he would not wash a deceased, ever.

ثم إنه أجرى علي الماء و غسلني ثلاثة أغسال و كفنني في ثلاثة أثواب و حنطني في حنوط و هو الزاد الذي خرجت به إلى دار الآخرة ثم جذب الخاتم من يدي اليمنى بعد فراغه من الغسل و دفعه إلى الأكبر من ولدي و قال آجرك الله في أبيك و حسن‏ لك الأجر و العزاء

Then he poured the water upon me and washed me with three washings and enshrouded me and embalmed me in embalmment, and it is the provision which I came out with to the house of the Hereafter. Then he snatched the ring from my right hand after his being free from the washing and handed it to the eldest of my children and said, ‘May Allahazwj Recompense you regarding your father and Make the Recompense to be good for you, and the consolation’.

ثم أدرجني في الكفن و لقنني و نادى أهلي و جيراني و قال هلموا إليه بالوداع فأقبلوا عند ذلك لوداعي فلما فرغوا من وداعي حملت على سرير من خشب و الروح عند ذلك بين وجهي و كفني حتى وضعت للصلاة فصلوا علي فلما فرغوا من الصلاة و حملت إلى قبري و دليت فيه فعاينت هولا عظيما

Then he inserted me in the shroud, and indoctrinated me, and called my family and my neighbours and said, ‘Come to him for the farewell’. They came during that to bid me farewell. When they were free from bidding farewell to me, I was carried upon a bier of wood and the soul was in front of my face and my shroud until I was placed for the Salat. They prayed Salat upon me. When they were free from the Salat and carried me to my grave and placed in it, I saw a great horror.

يا سلمان يا عبد الله اعلم أني قد سقطت من السماء إلى الأرض في لحدي و شرج علي اللبن و حثا [حثي‏] التراب علي فعند ذلك سلبت الروح من اللسان و انقلب السمع و البصر فلما نادى المنادي بالانصراف أخذت في الندم فقلت يا ليتني كنت من الراجعين فجاوبني مجيب من جانب القبر كَلَّا إِنَّها كَلِمَةٌ هُوَ قائِلُها وَ مِنْ وَرائِهِمْ بَرْزَخٌ إِلى‏ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ‏

O Salmanra! O servant of Allahazwj! Know that I had fallen from the sky to the earth in my grave and the bricks were place upon me and the soil ushered upon me. During that, the soul was given back the tongue and the hearing and the sight returned. When the caller called out with the leaving, I was seized in the regret and said, ‘Alas! If only I was from the returning ones. I was answered from the side of the grave: Never! It is merely a word he is saying. And behind them is purgatory up to the Day they would be Resurrected [23:100].

فقلت له من أنت يا هذا الذي تكلمني و تحدثني فقال أنا منبه قال أنا ملك وكلني الله عز و جل بجميع خلقه لأنبههم بعد مماتهم ليكتبوا أعمالهم على أنفسهم بين يدي‏ الله عز و جل ثم إنه جذبني و أجلسني و قال لي اكتب عملك فقلت إني لا أحصيه فقال لي أ ما سمعت قول ربك‏ أَحْصاهُ اللَّهُ وَ نَسُوهُ‏

I said to him, ‘Who are you, O one who speaks to me and narrates to me?’ He said, ‘I am an alerter. I am an Angel. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Allocated me to Hisazwj creatures to alert them after their death in order to write their deeds against their deeds in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. Then he narrated to me and made me to be seated and said to me, ‘I shall write your deeds’. I said, ‘I cannot count it’. He said to me, ‘Have you not heard the Words of Allahazwj: Allah has Recorded it and they would have forgotten it, [58:6]?’

ثم قال لي اكتب و أنا أملي عليك فقلت أين البياض فجذب جانبا من كفني فإذا هو رق فقال هذه صحيفتك فقلت من أين القلم قال سبابتك فقلت من أين المداد قال ريقك ثم أملى علي ما فعلته في دار الدنيا فلم يبق من أعمالي صغيرة و لا كبيرة إلا أملاها كما قال تعالى‏ وَ يَقُولُونَ يا وَيْلَتَنا ما لِهذَا الْكِتابِ لا يُغادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَ لا كَبِيرَةً إِلَّا أَحْصاها وَ وَجَدُوا ما عَمِلُوا حاضِراً وَ لا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَداً

Then he said, ‘Write and I shall dictate to you’. I said, ‘Where is the whiteness (paper)’. He pulled at the side of my shoulder and there was a paper. He said, ‘This is your parchment’. I said, ‘From where is the pen?’ He said, ‘Your index finger’. I said, ‘From where is the ink?’ He said, ‘Your saliva’. Then he dictated unto me whatever I had done in the house of the world, and there did not remain from my deeds, neither small nor bid except he dictated it, just as Allahazwj the Exalted Said: and they would be saying, ‘O woe be unto us! What is this book, neither leaving (anything) small or large except it numbers it?’ And they would be finding whatever they had done as being present, and your Lord will not Wrong anyone [18:49].

ثم إنه أخذ الكتاب و ختمه بخاتم و طوقه في عنقي فخيل لي أن جبال الدنيا جميعا قد طوقوها في عنقي فقلت له يا منبه و لم تفعل بي كذا قال أ لم تسمع قول ربك‏ وَ كُلَّ إِنسانٍ أَلْزَمْناهُ طائِرَهُ فِي عُنُقِهِ وَ نُخْرِجُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ كِتاباً يَلْقاهُ مَنْشُوراً اقْرَأْ كِتابَكَ كَفى‏ بِنَفْسِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْكَ حَسِيباً

Then he took the book and sealed it with a seal and collared it in my neck, and a thought came to me that the mountains of the world, all of them had been collared in my neck. I said to him, ‘O alerter! And why did you do such and such with me?’ He said, ‘Have you not heard the Words of your Lordazwj: And every human, We Fastened to him his fate in his neck, and We will Bring out a Book for him on the Day of Judgment which he will find it spread out [17:13] Read your book! Your own self will suffice against you today as a reckoner [17:14].

فهذا تخاطب به يوم القيامة و يؤتى بك و كتابك بين عينيك منشورا تشهد فيه على نفسك

Thus, this is what you will be addressed with on the Day of Qiyamah and they will come with you and your book will be between your eyes, published. You will testify regarding it against your own self.

ثم انصرف عني فأتاني منكر بأعظم منظر و أوحش شخص و بيده عمود من الحديد لو اجتمعت عليه الثقلان ما حركوه ثم إنه صاح بي صيحة لو سمعها أهل الأرض لماتوا جميعا ثم قال لي يا عبد الله أخبرني من ربك و ما دينك و من نبيك و ما عليه أنت و ما قولك في دار الدنيا

Then he turned away from me, and Munkar (Questioning Angel) came to me, being of gigantic scenery and horrifying personality, and in his hand was an iron rod, if the Jinn and the humans were to gather they would not have been able to move it. Then he shouted at me with a shout, if the people of the earth would have heard it, they would have all died. Then he said to me, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Who is your Lordazwj, and what is your Religion, and who is your Prophetsaww, and what are you upon, and what is your word regarding the house of the world?’

فاعتقل لساني من فزعه و تحيرت في أمري و ما أدري ما أقول و ليس في جسمي عضو إلا فارقني من الخوف فأتتني رحمة من ربي فأمسك‏ قلبي و أطلق بها لساني فقلت له يا عبد الله لما تفزعني و أنا أعلم أني أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله و أن محمدا رسول الله و أن الله ربي و محمد نبيي و الإسلام ديني و القرآن كتابي و الكعبة قبلتي و علي إمامي و المؤمنون إخواني

My tongue seized from its panic and I was confused regarding my matter and I did not know what I should be saying, and there wasn’t any limb in my body except it detached from me out of fear. Then Mercy from my Lordazwj came and my heart calmed and my tongue spoke with it. I said to him, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Why are you making me panic and I know that I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, and Allahazwj is my Lordazwj, and Muhammadsaww is my Prophetsaww, and Al-Islam is my Religion, and the Quran is my Book, and the Kabah is my Qiblah, and Aliasws is my Imamasws, and the Momineen are my brethren.

و أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له و أن محمدا عبده و رسوله فهذا قولي و اعتقادي و عليه ألقى ربي في معادي

And I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj Alone, there being no associates for Himazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. So this is my word and my belief and upon it my Lordazwj Cast me in my Hereafter’.

فعند ذلك‏ قال لي الآن أبشر يا عبد الله بالسلامة فقد نجوت و مضى عني و أتاني نكير و صاح صيحة هائلة أعظم من الصيحة الأولى فاشتبك أعضائي بعضها في بعض كاشتباك الأصابع ثم قال لي هات الآن عملك يا عبد الله

During that, he said to me, ‘Now, receive glad tidings, O servant of Allahazwj, of the safety, for you have attained salvation’, and he went away from me; and Nakeer (Questioning Angel) came to me and shouted a shout more terrifying than the first shout, and my limbs knocked against each other like the knocking of the fingers. Then he said to me, Give you deeds, O servant of Allahazwj!’

فبقيت حائرا متفكرا في رد الجواب فعند ذلك صرف الله عني شدة الروع و الفزع و ألهمني حجتي و حسن اليقين و التوفيق فقلت عند ذلك يا عبد الله رفقا بي فإني قد خرجت من الدنيا و أنا أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له و أشهد أن محمدا عبده و رسوله و أن الجنة حق و النار حق و الصراط حق و الميزان حق و الحساب حق و مساءلة منكر و نكير حق و البعث حق

I remained confused, thoughtful regarding responding the answer. During that, Allahazwj Turned away from me the severe dread, and the panic and Inspired me my argument, and good conviction and the inclination. I said during that, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Be gentle with me for I have come out from the world and I testify that there is no god except Alone, there being no associate for Himazwj, and I testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and that the Paradise is true, and the Fire is true, and the Bridge is true, and the Scale is true, and the reckoning is true, and the questioning of the Munkar and Nakeer is true, and the Resurrection is true.

و أن الجنة و ما وعد الله فيها من النعيم حق و أن النار و ما أوعد الله فيها من العذاب حق‏ وَ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

And that the Paradise and what Allahazwj has Promised therein from the bounties is true, and that the Fire and whatever Allahazwj has Threatened in it from the Punishments, is true, And the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, and that Allah will Resurrect the ones in the graves [22:7].

ثم قال لي يا عبد الله أبشر بالنعيم الدائم و الخير المقيم ثم إنه أضجعني و قال نم نومة العروس ثم إنه فتح لي بابا من عند رأسي إلى الجنة و بابا من عند رجلي إلى النار ثم قال لي يا عبد الله انظر إلى ما صرت إليه من الجنة و النعيم و إلى ما نجوت منه من نار الجحيم

Then he said to me, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Receive glad tidings with the perpetual Bounties and the ever-lasting goodness’. Then he made me lie down and said, ‘Sleep a sleep of the bride’. Then he opened a door for me from by my head to the Paradise, and a door from by my legs to the Fire. Then he said to me, ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Look at what you are destined to from the Paradise and the Bounties, and to what you have been saved from, from the Blazing Fire’.

ثم سد الباب الذي من عند رجلي و أبقى الباب الذي من عند رأسي مفتوحا إلى الجنة فجعل يدخل علي من روح الجنة و نعيمها و أوسع لحدي مد البصر و مضى عني

Then he closed the door which was from by my leg and he let the door which was from by my head to remain open, to the Paradise. So, there went on to enter unto me from the breezes of the Paradise and its Bounties, and my grave expanded to the extent of my sight, and he went away from me.

فهذا صفتي و حديثي و ما لقيته من شدة الأهوال و أنا أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له و أن محمدا عبده و رسوله و أشهد أن الموت حق على طرف لساني‏ فراقب الله أيها السائل خوفا من وقفة السائل

So this is my description and my narration and what I faced from the difficult horrors and I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj Alone, there is no associate for Himazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and I testify that the death is truly bitter upon the side of my tongue, so watch out for Allahazwj, O questioner fearing from the pausing of the questioner’.

‏ قال ثم انقطع عند ذلك كلامه قال سلمان رضي الله عنه عند ذلك حطوني رحمكم الله فحطيناه‏ إلى الأرض فقال أسندوني فأسندناه ثم رمق بطرفه إلى السماء و قال يا من‏ بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ‏ و هو يُجِيرُ وَ لا يُجارُ عَلَيْهِ‏ بك آمنت و لنبيك اتبعت و بكتابك صدقت و قد أتاني ما وعدتني‏

He (the narrator) said, ‘He cut off his speech at that’. Salmanra said during that, ‘Place mera down, may Allahazwj Have Mercy on you!’ We put himra down to the ground. Hera said, ‘Take mera back!’ So we took himra back. Then hera blinked with hisra eye towards the sky and said: ‘O One in Whose Hand is the Dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returning [36:83]. And Heazwj is and he Shelters and is not sheltered against,’ [23:88]. In Youazwj I believe and to Yourazwj Prophetsaww I follow, and with Yourazwj Book I ratify, and it has come to me what Youazwj Promised mesaww’.

يا من‏ لا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ اقبضني إلى رحمتك و أنزلني دار كرامتك فأنا أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له و أشهد أن محمدا عبده و رسوله

O Oneazwj Who does not break the Promise! Capture mera to Yourazwj Mercy and Descend mera to the house of Yourazwj Honour, that there is no god except Allahazwj Alone, there is no associate for Himazwj, and Ira testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’.

فلما كمل شهادته قضى نحبه و لقي ربه رضي الله تعالى عنه

When hera had completed hisra testimonies, hisra lamentation died down and hera met hisra Lordazwj, may Hisazwj Lordazwj be Pleased from himra.

قال فبينا نحن كذلك إذ أتى رجل على بغلة شهباء متلثما فسلم علينا فرددنا السلام عليه فَقَالَ يَا أَصْبَغُ جُدُّوا فِي أَمْرِ سَلْمَانَ فَأَخَذْنَا فِي أَمْرِهِ فَأَخَذَ مَعَهُ حَنُوطاً وَ كَفَناً فَقَالَ هَلُمُّوا فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي مَا يَنُوبُ عَنْهُ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ بِمَاءٍ وَ مَغْسَلٍ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُغَسِّلُهُ بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ وَ كَفَّنَهُ وَ صَلَّيْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ دَفَنَّاهُ وَ لَحَدَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع بِيَدِهِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘While we were like that when a man came upon the mule Shahba’a, veiled. Heasws greeted upon us and we returned the greetings upon himasws. Heasws said, ‘O Asbagh! Betake regarding the matter of Salmanra’. We undertook regarding his matter and I took to the embalming and the enshrouding. Heasws said: ‘Come, for with measws is on hisra behalf’. So, we came to himasws with water and washing ingredients. Heasws did not cease to wash himra with hisasws hand until heasws was free, and enshrouded himra, and we prayed Salat upon himra, and buried himra, and Aliasws laid himasws in hisra grave by hisasws hands.

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ دَفْنِهِ وَ هَمَّ بِالانْصِرَافِ تَعَلَّقْتُ بِثَوْبِهِ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَيْفَ كَانَ مَجِيئُكَ وَ مَنْ أَعْلَمَكَ بِمَوْتِ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ ع إِلَيَّ وَ قَالَ آخُذُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَصْبَغُ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ وَ مِيثَاقَهُ أَنَّكَ لَا تُحَدِّثُ بِهِ أَحَداً مَا دُمْتُ حَيّاً فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا

When we were free from burying himasws and thought of leaving, I attached with hisasws clothes and said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! How would be one who loves youasws and one who knows youasws, with the death of Salmanra?’ Heasws turned towards me and said: ‘O Asbagh! Take the Pact of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Covenant upon you! You will not narrate to anyone with it for as long as you are alive in the house of the world’.

فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَمُوتُ قَبْلَكَ فَقَالَ لَا يَا أَصْبَغُ بَلْ يَطُولُ عُمُرُكَ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ خُذْ عَلَيَّ عَهْداً وَ مِيثَاقاً فَإِنِّي لَكَ سَامِعٌ مُطِيعٌ إِنِّي لَا أُحَدِّثُ بِهِ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ مَا يَقْضِي‏ وَ هُوَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Will I die before youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘No, O Asbagh, but for the length of your life’. I said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Take a pact and a covenant upon me, for I am a listener to youasws, obedient. I will not narrate with it until Allahazwj Decrees from yourasws matter what Heazwj Decrees, and Heazwj is Able upon all things’.

فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَصْبَغُ بِهَذَا عَهَدَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ بِالْكُوفَةِ وَ قَدْ خَرَجْتُ أُرِيدُ مَنْزِلِي فَلَمَّا وَصَلْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِي اضْطَجَعْتُ فَأَتَانِي آتٍ فِي مَنَامِي وَ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ سَلْمَانَ قَدْ قَضَى نَحْبَهُ فَرَكِبْتُ بَغْلَتِي وَ أَخَذْتُ مَعِي مَا يَصْلُحُ لِلْمَوْتَى فَجَعَلْتُ أَسِيرُ

Heasws said to me: ‘O Asbagh! Rasool-Allahsaww had pacted measws with this, and Iasws have prayed Salat this moment in Al-Kufa, and Iasws had come out intending myasws house. When Iasws arrive to myasws house, Iasws lied down. A comer came to measws in myasws dream and said, ‘O Aliasws! Salmanra has expired, lament himra’. So, Iasws rode myasws mule and took with measws what is correct for the deceased and went on to travel.

فَقَرَّبَ اللَّهُ لِيَ الْبَعِيدَ فَجِئْتُ كَمَا تَرَانِي وَ بِهَذَا أَخْبَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ دَفَنَهُ وَ وَارَاهُ فَلَمْ أَرَ صَعِدَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ نَزَلَ فَأَتَى الْكُوفَةَ وَ الْمُنَادِي يُنَادِي لِصَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَحَضَرَ عِنْدَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ ع و هذا ما كان من حديث وفاة سلمان الفارسي رضي الله عنه‏.

Allahazwj Drew near what was far for measws and Iasws came as what you saw measws, and Rasool-Allahsaww had informed measws with this’. Then heasws buried himra and covered himra, and I did not see whether heasws ascended to the sky or descended into the ground. I came to Al-Kufa and the caller was calling out for the Maghrib Salat, and Aliasws was present with them. And this was from the narration of the expiry of Salman Al-Farsira’’.⁴⁴⁸

14- ضه، روضة الواعظين رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ سَعْدَ بْنَ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ دَخَلَ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ يَعُودُهُ فَبَكَى سَلْمَانُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَعْدٌ مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ وَ تَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَوْضَ

(The book) ‘Rowzat Al-Waizeen’ – It is reported that Sa’ad Bin Abu Waqqas entered to see Salman Al-Farsira to console himra. Salmanra cried, so Sa’ad said to himra, ‘What makes youra cry, O Abu Abdullah? Rasool-Allahsaww passed away and hesaww was pleased from youra, and youra will return to himsaww at the Fountain’.

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ أَمَا إِنِّي لَا أَبْكِي جَزَعاً مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَ لَا حِرْصاً عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ لَكِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا فَقَالَ لِيَكُنْ بُلْغَةُ أَحَدِكُمْ كَزَادِ الرَّاكِبِ وَ حَوْلِي هَذِهِ الْأَسَاوِدُ وَ إِنَّمَا حَوْلَهُ إِجَّانَةٌ وَ جَفْنَةٌ وَ مِطْهَرَةٌ.

Salmanra said: ‘But Ira am not crying out of panic from the death, nor covetous upon the world, but Rasool-Allahazwj pacted to us saying: ‘Let the eloquence of one of you be like a provision of the rider’, and around mera is this lions, and rather around himsaww are the goblets, and trays, and purity’’.⁴⁴⁹

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Ibirahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,

‘From Ja’farasws having said: ‘Salmanra said: ‘The soul tends to be restless upon its owner when there does not happen to be from the livelihood for it what it can depend upon. So when it acquires its livelihood, it is reassured’’.⁴⁵⁰

16- كا، الكافي عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَنَانٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَرْوِي عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: كَانَ سَلْمَانُ جَالِساً مَعَ نَفَرٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَأَقْبَلُوا يَنْتَسِبُونَ وَ يَرْفَعُونَ فِي أَنْسَابِهِمْ حَتَّى بَلَغُوا سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ أَخْبِرْنِي مَنْ أَنْتَ وَ مَنْ أَبُوكَ وَ مَا أَصْلُكَ

Al Kafi – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Hanan who said, ‘I heard my father reporting,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘‘Salmanra was seated with a number of people from Quraysh in the Masjid. They started priding over their lineages and ancestry until they reached Salmanra. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to himra, ‘Inform me, who youra are, and who yourra father is, and what is yourra origin’.

فَقَالَ أَنَا سَلْمَانُ‏ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ ضَالًّا فَهَدَانِيَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ كُنْتُ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَانِيَ اللَّهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ كُنْتُ مَمْلُوكاً فَأَعْتَقَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص هَذَا نَسَبِي وَ هَذَا حَسَبِي

So hera said: ‘Ira am Salmanra son of a servant of Allahazwj. Ira had strayed, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Guided mera by Muhammadsaww, and Iasws was needy, so Allahazwj Made mera to be self-sufficient by Muhammadsaww, and Ira was a slave, so Allahazwj Freed mera by Muhammadsaww. This is myra lineage, and this is myasws affiliation’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ سَلْمَانُ 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

Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww came out and Salmanra spoke to himsaww. Salmanra said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, what has been meted out to mera from those when Ira was seated with them. They took to priding themselves over their lineages and ancestry to the extent that they reached mera. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to me, ‘Who are youra, and what is yourra origin, and what is yourra status?’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَمَا قُلْتَ لَهُ يَا سَلْمَانُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنَا سَلْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ ضَالًّا فَهَدَانِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ كُنْتُ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَانِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ كُنْتُ مَمْلُوكاً فَأَعْتَقَنِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص هَذَا نَسَبِي وَ هَذَا حَسَبِي

The Prophetsaww said: ‘So what did youra say to him, O Salmanra?’ Hera said, ‘Ira said, ‘‘Ira am Salmanra son of a servant of Allahazwj. Ira had strayed, so Allahazwj Guided mera through Muhammadsaww, and Iasws was needy, so Allahazwj Made mera to be self-sufficient through Muhammadsaww, and Ira was a slave, so Allahazwj Freed mera through Muhammadsaww. This is myra lineage, and this is myasws affiliation’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا مَعْشَرَ قُرَيْشٍ إِنَّ حَسَبَ الرَّجُلِ دِينُهُ وَ مُرُوَّتَهُ خُلُقُهُ وَ أَصْلَهُ عَقْلُهُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِنَّا خَلَقْناكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَ أُنْثى‏ وَ جَعَلْناكُمْ شُعُوباً وَ قَبائِلَ لِتَعارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقاكُمْ‏

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O group of Quraysh, 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: O you people! We Created you from a male and a female and Made you as nations and tribes in order to recognise each other. Surely, the most honourable of you in the Presence of Allah is the most pious of you. Surely Allah is Knowing, Aware [49:13].

ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لِسَلْمَانَ لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَيْكَ فَضْلٌ إِلَّا بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ التَّقْوَى لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ‏.

Then the Prophetsaww said to Salmanra: ‘There is no merit over youra from any of these ones except by fear of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and if there is piety for youra over them, then youra are more meritorious’’.⁴⁵¹

‘When Salmanra saw the camel which was called ‘Asker’, hit it. It was said, ‘O Abu Abdullah! What are youra intending from this animal?’ Hera said, ‘This is not an animal, but this is Asker Bin Canaan the Jinn. O Bedouin! Do not sell your camel over her, but go with it to Al Hawab and you will be given for it what you want’’. (Not a Hadeeth)

‘Salmanra said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to mera: ‘When the death presents to youra or seizes youra, a people would be present finding the smell, and they will not be eating the food’. Then hera brought out a bottle of musk and said, ‘A gift given to mera by Rasool-Allahsaww’.

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Salmanra married a woman from Kinda and hera went to her, and there was a maid for her, and at her door was a cloak. Salmanra said, ‘Either in this house of yours is a sick (person) or the Kabah has transferred in it (sarcastically)’.

فَقِيلَ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ أَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَسْتُرَ عَلَى نَفْسِهَا فِيهِ قَالَ فَمَا هَذِهِ الْجَارِيَةُ قَالُوا كَانَ لَهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ فَأَرَادَتْ أَنْ تَخْدُمَ

It is said, ‘The woman intended to cover upon herself in it. Hera said, ‘So what is this girl?’ They said, ‘There was something for her she wanted her to serve’.

Hera said, ‘Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘But rather a man what has a slave girl with him and he does not go to her, or does not get her married to someone who does go to her, then she commits an immorality, a burden similar to it would be upon him, and the one who lends a loan, it is as if he has given in charity with part of it. When he lends it a second time, it would be from the capital of his wealth, and it being paid back to its owner is a right if he goes to him in his house, or in his ride, and he should say, Here, take it’’.⁴⁵⁴

Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Salmanra was cooking in a pot and Abu Zarrra came to him. The pot turned over and fell upon its face and nothing from it was spilled. Hera returned it upon the fire. Then it turned over for a second time, and nothing from it was lost. Hera returned it upon the fire.

‏ فَمَرَّ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مُسْرِعاً قَدْ ضَاقَ صَدْرُهُ مِمَّا رَأَى وَ سَلْمَانُ يَقْفُو أَثَرَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَنَظَرَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِلَى سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ارْفُقْ بِصَاحِبِكَ‏.

Abu Zarrra went to Amir Al-Momineenasws quickly, hisra chest had constricted from what hera had seen, and Salmanra followed in hisra footsteps until hera ended up to Amir Al-Momineenasws. Amir Al-Momineenasws looked at Salmanra and said: ‘O Abu Abdullah! Be gentle with yourra companion’’.⁴⁵⁵

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed said in his commentary of Nahj Al-Balagah, ‘Abu Wail said, ‘I and a companion of mine went to Salman Al-Farsira and we sat in hisra presence. Hera said, ‘If Rasool-Allahsaww had not forbidden from the pretence, Ira would have pretended to you’.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِخُبْزٍ وَ مِلْحٍ سَاذِجٍ لَا أَبْزَارَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ صَاحِبِي لَوْ كَانَ لَنَا فِي مِلْحِنَا هَذَا سَعْتَرٌ فَبَعَثَ سَلْمَانُ بِمِطْهَرَتِهِ فَرَهَنَهَا عَلَى سَعْتَرٍ فَلَمَّا أَكَلْنَا قَالَ صَاحِبِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قَنَّعَنَا بِمَا رَزَقَنَا فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ لَوْ قَنِعْتَ بِمَا رَزَقَكَ لَمْ تَكُنْ مِطْهَرَتِي مَرْهُونَةً.

Then hera came with bread and slat not having any seeds upon it. My companion said, ‘If only there was some thyme (herb) with this salt of ours’. Salmanra sent someone with hisra tray and pawned it for some thyme. When we had eaten, my companion said, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj who Caused us to be content with what Heazwj has Graced us’. Salmanra said, ‘If you were content with what you have been Graced with, myra tray would not have been pawned’’.⁴⁵⁸

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Salmanra passed by the blacksmiths at Al-Kufa and hera saw a youth being in shock and the people had gathered around him. They said, ‘O Abu Abdullah! This youth has gone into shock, so if youra could recite (Quran) in his ears’.

قَالَ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ سَلْمَانُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ الشَّابُّ أَفَاقَ وَ قَالَ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ بِي مَا يَقُولُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ وَ لَكِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِهَؤُلَاءِ الْحَدَّادِينَ وَ هُمْ يَضْرِبُونَ الْمِرْزَبَاتِ‏ فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ لَهُمْ مَقامِعُ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فَذَهَبَ عَقْلِي خَوْفاً مِنْ عِقَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Salmanra went near him. When the youth saw himra, he woke up (recovered) and said, ‘O Abu Abdullah! It isn’t with me what these people are saying, but I passed by these blacksmiths and they were striking the irons hammers, and I remembered the Words of the Exalted: And for them would be rods of iron [22:21], so I lost my mind in fear from the Punishment of Allahazwj the Exalted’.

فَاتَّخَذَهُ سَلْمَانُ أَخاً وَ دَخَلَ قَلْبَهُ حَلَاوَةُ مَحَبَّتِهِ فِي اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَلَمْ يَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى مَرِضَ الشَّابُّ فَجَاءَهُ سَلْمَانُ فَجَلَسَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَ هُوَ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ ارْفُقْ بِأَخِي قَالَ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِنِّي بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ رَفِيقٌ‏.

So, Salmanra took him as a brother and sweetness of his loved entered hisra heart. Hera did not cease to be with him until the youth got sick. Salmanra came to him and sat by his head and he was finding his (last) breath. Hera said, ‘O Angel of death! Be gently with myra brother’. He said, ‘O Abu Abdullah! I am gentle with every Momin’’.⁴⁶²

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Salmanra addressed saying, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Guided mera to Hisazwj Religion after myra denial to Himazwj. Then it was myra displeasure of the fire of Kufr, releasing a share for it, and Ira brought sustenance to him until Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Cast the love of Tahama in myra heart. So, Ira went out hungry, thirsty, (and) myra people has repelled measws and threw mera out from myra wealth, and Ira was neither carrying myra belongings not any chattels to prepare mera, nor any wealth to strengthen mera.

And it was from myra situation what had happened until came to Muhammadsaww. Ira recognised himsaww from the recognition what Ira used to know, and Ira saw from the signs what Ira had been informed with, and Ira was delivered through himsaww from the Fire. So, Ira achieved from the world upon the recognition which Ira had entered upon in Al-Islam.

By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Salmanra! You will be indulging in a state after a state [84:19], ways of the children of Israel, (as) an arrow with the arrow. But, by Allahazwj, of you were to accept Aliasws as ruler, you will be eating from above you and from beneath your feet. So (now) receive news of the calamities and despair from the prosperity and you will be rejected upon the equality, and (Ira hereby) terminate the bond of the friendship what is between mera and you.

But by Allahazwj, if Ira were to repel injustices or endear a Religion to Allahazwj, Ira would place myra sword upon myra shoulders, then strike with it moving ahead, ahead. Indeed! Ira am narrating to you with what you already know and with what you are not knowing. So, take it from the ways of the ninety with what is therein.

Indeed! For the clan of Umayya regarding the clan of Hashimas is head-butting, and for the clan of Umayya from the family of Hashimas is head-butting. Indeed! And the clan of Umayya are like the she-camel biting with its mouth and blundering with its hands, and striking with its legs, and preventing its turning.

أَلَا إِنَّهُ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُذِلَ‏ نَادِيَهَا وَ أَنْ يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهَا عَدُوَّهَا مَعَ قَذْفٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ خَسْفٍ وَ مَسْخٍ وَ شَوَهِ الْخَلْقِ‏ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ جَانِبِ حِجْلَتِهِ إِلَى صَلَاةٍ فَمَسَخَهُ‏ اللَّهُ قِرْداً

Indeed! It is a right upon Allahazwj that Heazwj Humiliates its callers and Causes its enemies to prevail upon it with emissions from the sky and submergence and metamorphosis, and uglifying of the bodies, until the man would come out from the side of his animal for the Salat. So, Allahazwj Morphed him as a monkey.

أَلَا وَ فِئَتَانِ تَلْتَقِيَانِ بِتِهَامَةَ كِلْتَاهُمَا كَافِرَتَانِ أَلَا وَ خَسَفَ بِكَلْبٍ وَ مَا أَنَا وَ كَلْبٌ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا لَأَرَيْتُكُمْ‏ مَصَارِعَهُمْ أَلَا وَ هُوَ الْبَيْدَاءُ ثُمَّ يَجِي‏ءُ مَا يَقْرِفُونَ‏ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ الْفِتَنَ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَهْلِكُ فِيهَا الرَّاكِبُ الْمُوضِعُ‏ وَ الْخَطِيبُ الْمِصْقَعُ وَ الرَّأْسُ الْمَتْبُوعُ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَإِنَّهُمُ الْقَادَةُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ الدُّعَاةُ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

Indeed! Two parties, both Kafirs, would be meeting (in battle) at Tahama. Indeed! And dog would be submerged, and Ira am not a dog. By Allahazwj! If only Ira had not been shown their dying places. Indeed! And it is Al-Bayda’a. Then it will come what is coming. So when you see the Fitna (strife), O you people, like a piece of the dark night, during the daring rider will be destroyed, and the deceiving preacher, and the following leader, so upon you is to be with the familyasws of Muhammadsaww, for theyasws are the guides to the Paradise, and the callers to it up to the Day of Qiyamah,

وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِعَلِيٍّ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ بِالْوَلَاءِ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا فَمَا بَالُ الْقَوْمِ أَ حَسَدٌ قَدْ حَسَدَ قَابِيلُ هَابِيلَ أَوْ كُفْرٌ فَقَدِ ارْتَدَّ قَوْمُ مُوسَى عَنِ الْأَسْبَاطِ وَ يُوشَعَ وَ شَمْعُونَ وَ ابْنَيْ هَارُونَ شَبَّرَ وَ شَبِيرٍ وَ السَّبْعِينَ الَّذِينَ اتَّهَمُوا مُوسَى عَلَى قَتْلِ هَارُونَ فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الرَّجْفَةُ مِنْ بَغْيِهِمْ

And upon you is to be with Aliasws. By Allahazwj! We had submitted to himasws with the Wilayah with our Prophetsaww. So what is the matter with the people, are they envying? So, Qabeella had envied Habeelas. Or it is disbelief? So, the people of Musaas had disbelieved from the tribes, and Yoshuaas, and Shamounas, and two sons of Harunas Shabbar and Shabbir, and the seventy, those who had accused Musaas upon the killing of Harounas, so the earthquake seized them due to their rebellion.

ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُمُ اللَّهُ‏ أَنْبِيَاءَ مُرْسَلِينَ وَ غَيْرَ مُرْسَلِينَ فَأَمْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ كَأَمْرِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَيْنَ يُذْهَبُ بِكُمْ مَا أَنَا وَ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ وَيْحَكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي أَ تَجْهَلُونَ أَمْ تَجَاهَلُونَ‏ أَمْ نَسِيتُمْ أَمْ تَتَنَاسَوْنَ أَنْزِلُوا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْكُمْ مَنْزِلَةَ الرَّأْسِ مِنَ الْجَسَدِ بَلْ مَنْزِلَةَ الْعَيْنِ مِنَ الرَّأْسِ

Then Allahazwj Sent Prophetsas to them, Messengers and non-Messengers. So, the affair of this community is like the affair of the children of Israel. Where are they going with you? What have Ira to do with so and so, and so and so? Woe be unto you all! By Allahazwj, Ira do not know whether you are ignorant or pretending to be ignorant, or have you forgotten or pretending to have forgotten. Get down! The status of the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww from you is a status of the head from the body, but status of the eyes from the head.

وَ اللَّهِ لَتَرْجِعُنَّ كُفَّاراً يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ بِالسَّيْفِ يَشْهَدُ الشَّاهِدُ عَلَى النَّاجِي بِالْهَلَكَةِ وَ يَشْهَدُ النَّاجِي عَلَى الْكَافِرِ بِالنَّجَاةِ أَلَا إِنِّي أَظْهَرْتُ أَمْرِي وَ آمَنْتُ بِرَبِّي وَ أَسْلَمْتُ بِنَبِيِّي وَ اتَّبَعْتُ مَوْلَايَ وَ مَوْلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

By Allahazwj! You have returned as Kafirs, striking each other’s necks with the sword. The witness testifying upon the rescued one with the destruction, and the rescued one testifying upon the Kafir with the salvation. Indeed! Ira manifested myra matter and believed in myra Lordazwj and became a Muslim with myra Prophetsaww, and followed myra Masterasws and Masterasws of every Muslim.

بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي قَتِيلُ كُوفَانَ يَا لَهْفَ نَفْسِي لِأَطْفَالٍ صِغَارٍ وَ بِأَبِي صَاحِبُ الْجَفْنَةِ وَ الْخِوَانِ نَكَّاحُ النِّسَاءِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَلَا إِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ نَحَلَهُ الْبَأْسَ وَ الْحَيَاءَ وَ نَحَلَ الْحُسَيْنَ الْمَهَابَةَ وَ الْجُودَ

By myra father and myra mother! Killed on at Kufa, O yearning of myra soul for the young children, and by myra father, owner of the bowls and the meals, marrying the women, Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws. Indeed! The Prophetsaww gifted himas the courage and the modesty, and gifted to Al-Husaynasws the grandeur and the generosity.

يَا وَيْحَ مَنْ أَحْقَرَهُ لِضَعْفِهِ وَ اسْتَضْعَفَهُ‏ لِقِلَّتِهِ‏ وَ ظَلَمَ مَنْ بَيْنَ وُلْدِهِ فَكَانَ بِلَادُهُمْ عَامِرَ الْبَاقِينَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تَكِلَّ أَظْفَارُكُمْ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ وَ لَا تَسْتَغْشُوا صَدِيقَكُمْ يَسْتَحْوِذِ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْكُمْ

O woe be unto the one who belittles himasws due to hisasws weakness and weakens himasws in order to kill himasws, and oppress the ones between hisasws children, and they cities are more populated and lasting than the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww. O you people! Do not fatigue yourselves from your enemies nor beg your friends, the Satanla would engage upon you all.

وَ اللَّهِ لَتُبْتَلُنَّ بِبَلَاءٍ لَا تُغَيِّرُونَهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ إِلَّا إِشَارَةً بِحَوَاجِبِكُمْ ثَلَاثَةٌ خُذُوهَا بِمَا فِيهَا وَ ارْجُوا رَابِعَهَا وَ مُوَافَاهَا بِأَبِي‏ دَافِعُ الضَّيْمِ شَقَّاقِ بُطُونِ الْحَبَالَى وَ حَمَّالِ الصِّبْيَانِ عَلَى الرِّمَاحِ وَ مُغَلِّي الرِّجَالِ فِي الْقُدُورِ

By Allahazwj! You will be indulged with afflictions. You will not (be able to) alter it with your hands except indicating with your eyebrows. Three (things), take these with whatever is in it and hope for its fourth, and it is given by my father. The motive of the hose is to split the belies of the pregnant women, and carriers of the children upon the spears, and boiling the men in the pots.

أَمَا إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِالنَّفْسِ الطَّيِّبَةِ الزَّكِيَّةِ وَ تَضْرِيجِ دَمِهِ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ الْمَذْبُوحِ ذَبْحَ الْكَبْشِ‏ يَا وَيْحَ لِسَبْإِ نِسَاءٍ مِنْ كُوفَانَ الْوَارِدُونَ الثُّوَيَّةَ الْمُسْتَقِرُّونَ‏ عَشِيَّةً وَ مِيعَادُ مَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ فِتْنَةٌ شَرْقِيَّةٌ سَتَسِيرُ مُوجِئاً هَاتِفاً يَسْتَغِيثُ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَلَا تُغِيثُوهُ لَا أَغَاثَهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَلْحَمَةٌ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ إِلَى أَنْ تَصِيرَ مَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى شَبِيهِ الْمَقْتُولِ بِظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ هِيَ كُوفَانُ

As for Ira, Ira am narrating to you with the goodly soul, the pure, and the spilling of his blood between the (Yemeni) corner and the standing place (of Ibrahimas, the slaughtered as the ram is slaughtered. O woe be unto seven women from Kufa, coming to Al-Sawiya, the evening settlers and the appointment of what is between you and that is an eastern strife, a herald will come seeking help from the direction of the west, neither will you help him nor will Allahazwj Help him, and an epic between the people until the slaughter would become upon a resemblance of the killed one at the outback of Kufa, and it is Kowfan.

وَ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُبْنَى جِسْرُهَا وَ يُبْنَى‏ جُمّاً حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ زَمَانٌ لَا يَبْقَى مُؤْمِنٌ إِلَّا بِهَا أَوْ بِحَوالِيهَا وَ فِتْنَةٌ مَصْبُوبَةٌ تَطَأُ فِي خِطَامِهَا لَا يَنْهَاهَا أَحَدٌ لَا يَبْقَى بَيْتٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَخَلَتْهُ

And there is no doubt they will build its bridge, and build its beauty until they will come a time there will not remain any Momin except at it, or its surroundings, and Fitna would be cast, flying in its halters, no one will forbid it. There will not remain any house from the Arabs except it will enter it.

وَ أُحَدِّثُكَ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ أَنَّ ابْنَكَ مَقْتُولٌ وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً دَخَلَ فِي وَلَايَتِهِ فَيُصْبِحُ عَلَى أَمْرٍ يُمْسِي عَلَى مِثْلِهِ لَا يَدْخُلُ فِيهَا إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا كَافِرٌ.

And Ira narrate to you, O Huzeyfa, that your son will be killed and that Aliasws is Emir of the Momineen. So, the one who was a Momin, he would enter to be in hisasws Wilayah, and in the matter he would be in a matter and in the evening upon similar to it. None will enter into it except a Momin, nor exit from it except a Kafir’’.⁴⁶⁴

30- أقول قال ابن أبي الحديد سلمان رجل من فارس من رامهرمز و قيل بل من أصفهان من قرية يقال لها جي و هو معدود من موالي رسول الله ص و كنيته أبو عبد الله و كان إذا قيل له ابن من أنت يقول أنا سلمان ابن الإسلام أنا من بني آدم

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed said, ‘Salmanra is a man from Persia from Ramharmaz, and it is said, but from Isfahan from a town called Jey, and hera is counted from being friends of Rasool-Allahsaww. Hisra teknonym is Abu Abdullah, and when it was said to himra, ‘Whose son are youra?’ Hera said, ‘Ira am Salmanra son of Islam. Ira am from the children of Adamas’.

و قد روي أنه تداوله بضعة عشر ربا عن واحد إلى آخر حتى أفضى إلى رسول الله ص

And it has been reported hera was traded (as a slave) by some ten masters, one to the other until hera was came to Rasool-Allahsaww.

و روى أبو عمر بن عبد البر في الإستيعاب أن رسول الله صلوات الله عليه و آله اشتراه من أربابه و هم قوم يهود على أن يغرس لهم من النخل كذا و كذا و يعمل فيها حتى يدرك‏ فغرس رسول الله ص ذلك النخل كله بيده إلا نخلة واحدة غرسها عمر بن الخطاب فأطعم النخل كله إلا تلك النخلة فقال رسول الله ص من غرسها فقيل عمر فقلعها و غرسها رسول الله ص بيده فأطعمت

And it is reported by Abu Umar Bin Abdul Birr in (the book) ‘Al-Istiyaab’ that Rasool-Allahsaww bought himra from hisra masters and they were a Jewish people, upon (a price) that hera would plant for them such and such from the palm trees and work in these until the plants mature. So, Rasool-Allahsaww planted those palm trees, all of them by hissaww hands, except for one palm tree planted by Umar Bin Al-Khattab, so hesaww irrigate the palm trees, all of them, except for that palm tree. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Who planted it?’ It was said, ‘Umar’. So, hesaww uprooted it and Rasool-Allahsaww planted it with hissaww own hands, and fed it.

قال أبو عمر و كان سلمان يسف الخوص و هو أمير على المدائن و يبيعه و يأكل منه و يقول لا أحب أن آكل إلا من عمل يدي و كان تعلم سف الخوص من المدينة و أول مشاهده الخندق و قد روي أنه شهد بدرا و أحدا و لم يفته بعد ذلك مشهد.

Abu Umar said, ‘And Salmanra used to lower the leaves and hera was a governor upon Al-Madain, and sell it, and eat from it and saying, ‘Ira do not like to eat except from the work of myra own hands’, and hera had learnt lowering of the leaves from Al-Medina; and hisra first attendance (of a battle) was Al-Khandaq’ And it is reported that hera did attend Badr and Ohad and not battle was missed by himra after that.

قال و كان سلمان خيرا فاضلا حبرا عالما زاهدا متقشفا.

He said, ‘And Salmanra was good, meritorious, erudite, scholar, ascetic, austere’.

و عن الحسن البصري قال كان عطاء سلمان خمسة آلاف و كان إذا خرج عطاؤه تصدق به و يأكل من عمل يده و كانت له عباءة يفرش بعضها و يلبس بعضها.

And from Al-Hassan Al-Basry who said, ‘And the awards of Salmanra were five thousand, and when hera extracted hisasws awards, gave in charity with it, and hera ate from the work of hisra own hands, and there was a cloak for himasws, hera sometimes hera would spread it (to sleep on) and sometimes hera would wear it’.

و قد ذكر ابن وهب و ابن نافع أن سلمان لم يكن له بيت إنما كان يستظل بالجدر و الشجر و أن رجلا قال له أ لا أبني لك بيتا تسكن فيه قال لا حاجة لي في ذلك فما زال به الرجل حتى قال له أنا أعرف البيت الذي يوافقك قال فصفه لي قال أبني لك بيتا إذا أنت قمت فيه أصاب رأسك سقفه و إن أنت مددت فيه رجليك أصابهما الجدار قال نعم فبنى له.

And it is mentioned by Ibn Wahab and Ibn Nafau that Salmanra there did not happen to be a house for himra, but rather hera used to shade by the wall and the tree; and a man said to himra, ‘Shall I build a house for youra, youra can live in?’ Hera said, ‘There is no need for mera regarding that’. The man did not cease to be (insisting) with it until he said to himra, ‘I know the kind of house which is compatible for youra’. Hera said, ‘Describe it to mera’. He said, ‘I shall build for you such a house, when youra enter it, yourra head will hit its ceiling, and when youra extend yourra legs in it, these will hit the wall’. Hera said, ‘Yes’. So, he built it for himra’.

قال أبو عمر وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَنْ‏ وُجُوهٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَوْ كَانَ الدِّينُ فِي الثُّرَيَّا لَنَالَهُ سَلْمَانُ.

Abu Umer said, ‘And it has been reported from Rasool-Allahsaww about hisasws perspective. Hesaww said:’ If the Religion was in the sun, Salmanra would have got to it’’.

قال و قد روينا عن عائشة قالت‏ كان لسلمان مجلس من رسول الله ص ينفرد به بالليل حتى كاد يغلبنا على رسول الله ص.

He said, ‘And we have reported from Ayesha having said, ‘There was a sitting session for Salmanra from Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww would be alone with himra at night until hera had almost overcome us (wives) upon (time spent with) Rasool-Allahsaww’.

قَالَ وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي بِحُبِّ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُمْ عَلِيٌّ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ سَلْمَانُ.

He said, ‘And it is reported that Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Mysaww Lordazwj Commanded mesaww to love four, and Informed mesaww that Heazwj Loves them – Aliasws, and Abu Zarrra, and Al-Miqdadra, and Salmanra’’.

وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: عُلِّمَ عِلْمَ الْأَوَّلِ وَ الْعِلْمَ الْآخِرَ ذَلِكَ بَحْرٌ لَا يُنْزَفُ هُوَ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ.

And from Aliasws having said: ‘Hesaww knew the first knowledge and the last knowledge. That one is an ocean not to be displaced. Hera is from usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ زَاذَانَ عَنْ عَلِيٍ‏ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ كَلُقْمَانَ الْحَكِيمِ.

And in a report of Zazan, from Aliasws: ‘Salman Al-Farsira is like Luqmanas the Wise’.

و قال فيه كعب الأحبار سلمان حشي علما و حكمة.

And Ka’an Al-Ahbaar said regarding himra, ‘Salmanra is stuffed with knowledge and wisdom’.

قال و روي أن أبا سفيان مر على سلمان و صهيب و بلال في نفر من المسلمين فقالوا ما أخذت السيوف من عنق عدو الله مأخذها فقال لهم أبو بكر أ تقولون هذا لشيخ قريش و سيدها و أتى النبي ص فأخبره فقال يا با بكر لعلك أغضبتهم لئن كنت أغضبتهم لقد أغضبت الله فأتاهم أبو بكر فاعتذر منهم.

He said, ‘And it is reported that Abu Sufyan passed by Salmanra and Suheyb and Bilal among a number of Muslims. They said, ‘The swords did not take from the necks of enemies of Allahazwj, a taking’. Abu Bakr said to them, ‘Are you saying this for a sheykh of Quraysh and its chief?’ And the Prophetsaww came, and he informed himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘O Abu Bakr! Perhaps you have angered them, and even if you have angered them, you have (certainly) angered Allahazwj’. So, Abu Bakr came to them and presented excuse from them’.

و توفي في آخر خلافة عثمان سنة خمس و ثلاثين و قيل توفي في أول‏ سنة ست و ثلاثين و قال قوم توفي في خلافة عمر و الأول أكثر.

And hera expired at the end of the caliphate of Usman in the year thirty five, and it is said at the beginning of year thirty six, and a people said hera expired during the caliphate of Umar, and the first (version) is more.

أقول ثم ذكر ابن أبي الحديد خبر إسلامه نحوا مما مر ثم قال و كان سلمان من شيعة علي ع و خاصته و يزعم الإمامية أنه أحد الأربعة الذين حلقوا رءوسهم و أتوه متقلدي سيوفهم في خبر يطول و ليس هذا موضع ذكره و أصحابنا لا يخالفونهم في أن سلمان كان من الشيعة

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Then Ibn Abu Al-Hadeed mentioned the Hadeeth of hisra Islam approximate from what has passed, then said, ‘And Salmanra was from the Shias of Aliasws, and hisasws special one, and the Imamites are claiming that hera is one of the four, those who had shaved their heads and came to himasws collaring their swords. And the Hadeeth is lengthy and this is not the place of its mention, and our companions are not differing regarding that Salmanra was from the Shias’’.⁴⁶⁵

31- الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ، جَاءَ فِي الْأَخْبَارِ الْحِسَانِ‏ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع مَضَى فِي لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى الْمَدَائِنِ لِتَغْسِيلِ سَلْمَانَ‏.

(The book) ‘Al-Siraat Al-Mustaqeem’ – ‘It has come in the Ahadeeth of Al-Hisaan – Aliasws to Al-Madain during the night in order to wash (the body of) Salmanra’’.⁴⁶⁶

باب 12 كيفية إسلام أبي ذر رضي الله عنه و سائر أحواله إلى وفاته و ما يختص به من الفضائل و المناقب و فيه أيضا بيان أحوال بعض الصحابة

CHAPTER 12 – THE MODE OF ISLAM OF ABU ZARRra AND THE REST OF HISra SITUATIONS UP TO HISra EXPIRY, AND WHAT IS ESPECIALISED WITH HIMra FROM THE MERITS AND THE VIRTUES, AND IN IT AS WELL AN EXPLANATION OF THE SITUATIONS OF SOME OF THE COMPANIONS

1- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ مِنْ خِيَارِ أَصْحَابِهِ عِنْدَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيُّ فَجَاءَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي غُنَيْمَاتٍ قَدْرَ سِتِّينَ شَاةً فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَبْدُوَ فِيهَا وَ أُفَارِقَ حَضْرَتَكَ وَ خِدْمَتَكَ وَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَكِلَهَا إِلَى رَاعٍ فَيَظْلِمَهَا وَ يُسِي‏ءَ رِعَايَتَهَا فَكَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘Myasws fatherasws narrated to measws from hisasws fatherasws that Rasool-Allahsaww, the best of hissaww companions in hissaww presence was Abu Zarras. One day heas came over and heas said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! There is some war booty with meas, about sixty sheep. Ias dislike to be worshipping among these (when going to pasture), and separating from yoursaww presence and being in yoursaww service. And Ias (also) dislike it that Ias should allocate them to a shepherd and he would lose them and forget their grazing. So how should Ias deal with it?’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ابْدُ فِيهَا فَبَدَا فِيهَا فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا بَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ غُنَيْمَاتُكَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَهَا قِصَّةً عَجِيبَةً قَالَ وَ مَا هِيَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Worship among them’. Heas worshipped among them. When it was the seventh day, heas came over to Rasool-Allahsaww and Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abu Zarras!’. Heas said, ‘At yoursaww service, Rasool-Allahsaww!’. Hesaww said: ‘What did you do with your sheep?’ Heas said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! There is a strange story of theirs’. Hesaww said: ‘And what is it?’

قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَيْنَا أَنَا فِي صَلَاتِي إِذْ عَدَا الذِّئْبُ عَلَى غَنَمِي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ صَلَاتِي وَ يَا رَبِّ غَنَمِي فَآثَرْتُ صَلَاتِي عَلَى غَنَمِي

Heas said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! While Ias was in myas Salat, when a wolf attacked upon myas sheep. So Ias said, ‘O Lordazwj! Myas Salat! O Lordazwj, myas sheep!’ Thus Ias preferred myas Salat over myas sheep’.

وَ أَخْطَرَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِبَالِي يَا بَا ذَرٍّ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ إِنْ عَدَتِ الذِّئَابُ عَلَى غَنَمِكَ وَ أَنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَأَهْلَكَتْهَا وَ مَا يَبْقَى لَكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا مَا تَتَعَيَّشُ بِهِ

The Satanla notified myas mind, ‘O Abu Zarras! Where are youas? The wolf is attacking upon youras sheep, and youas are (still) praying Salat? Hela will kill all of them, and there would not remain (anything) for youas in the world you can live by’.

فَقُلْتُ لِلشَّيْطَانِ يَبْقَى لِي تَوْحِيدُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ الْإِيمَانُ‏ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مُوَالاةُ أَخِيهِ سَيِّدِ الْخَلْقِ بَعْدَهُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ مُوَالاةُ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهَادِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ وَ مُعَادَاةُ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ كُلُّ مَا فَاتَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ جَلَلٌ‏

Ira said to the Satanla, ‘There would remain for me the Tawheed of Allahazwj the Exalted, and the Eman with Muhammadsaww Rasool-Allahsaww, and the Wilayah of hissaww brother, the Chief of the people after himsaww Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and the Wilayah of the Imamsasws, the Guides, the clean, from hisasws sonsasws, and the enmity of theirasws enemies, and everything what I lose from the word after that is not gravely missed’.

فَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى صَلَاتِي فَجَاءَ ذِئْبٌ فَأَخَذَ حَمَلًا فَذَهَبَ بِهِ وَ أَنَا أَحُسُّ بِهِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الذِّئْبِ أَسَدٌ فَقَطَعَهُ‏ نِصْفَيْنِ وَ اسْتَنْقَذَ الْحَمَلَ وَ رَدَّهُ إِلَى الْقَطِيعِ ثُمَّ نَادَانِي يَا بَا ذَرٍّ أَقْبِلْ عَلَى صَلَاتِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَكَّلَنِي بِغَنَمِكَ إِلَى أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ

Ias returned to myas Salat, and the wolf came and seized a lamb and went with it, and I was aware of it, when a lion attacked upon the wolf cutting it into two halves, and recovered the lamb, and it returned to the flock. Then it called out to me, ‘O Abu Zarras! Return to youras Salat, for Allahazwj the Exalted has Allocated me with youras sheep until youas have prayed’.

فَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى صَلَاتِي وَ قَدْ غَشِيَنِي مِنَ التَّعَجُّبِ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى حَتَّى فَرَغْتُ مِنْهَا فَجَاءَنِي الْأَسَدُ وَ قَالَ لِي امْضِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ أَكْرَمَ صَاحِبَكَ الْحَافِظَ لِشَرِيعَتِكَ وَ وَكَّلَ أَسَداً بِغَنَمِهِ يَحْفَظُهَا

I returned to myas Salat, and the astonishment had overwhelmed me such that no one knows it except Allahazwj the Exalted – until Ias was free from it. So the lion came over to meas and said to me, ‘Go to Muhammadsaww and inform himsaww that Allahazwj the Exalted has Honoured yoursaww companion, the preserver of yoursaww Law, and Allocated a lion with hisas sheep to protect them’.

فَعَجِبَ‏ مَنْ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَدَقْتَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ لَقَدْ آمَنْتُ بِهِ أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ فَاطِمَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ

They were astonished, the ones who were around Rasool-Allahsaww. So Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abu Zarras, and theyasws have believed in it, Isaww, and Aliasws, and Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws’.

فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ هَذَا لَمُوَاطَاةٌ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَبِي ذَرٍّ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَخْدَعَنَا بِغُرُورِهِ وَ اتَّفَقَ‏ مِنْهُمْ عِشْرُونَ رَجُلًا وَ قَالُوا نَذْهَبُ إِلَى غَنَمِهِ وَ نَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَ نَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا صَلَّى هَلْ يَأْتِي الْأَسَدُ فَيَحْفَظَ غَنَمَهُ‏ فَيَتَبَيَّنُ‏ بِذَلِكَ كَذِبُهُ

But some of the hypocrites said, ‘This is a collusion between Muhammadsaww and Abu Zarras, intending to deceive us with hissaww ego’; and twenty men from them concurred and they said, ‘We should go to hisas sheep and look at them, and look at himas when heas prays Salat, does the lion come and protect hisas sheep, so hisas lies would be clarified to us’.

فَذَهَبُوا وَ نَظَرُوا وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي وَ الْأَسَدُ يَطُوفُ حَوْلَ غَنَمِهِ وَ يَرْعَاهَا وَ يَرُدُّ إِلَى الْقَطِيعِ مَا شَذَّ عَنْهُ مِنْهَا حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ نَادَاهُ الْأَسَدُ هَاكَ قَطِيعَكَ مُسَلَّماً وَافِرَ الْعَدَدِ سَالِماً

They went and looked, and Abu Zarras stood to pray Salat, and the lion was circling around hisas sheep and herding them and they returned to the flock which was strayed from it, until when heas was free from hisas Salat, the lion called out, ‘Here, youras flock is safe, and its numbers are safe’.

ثُمَّ نَادَاهُمُ الْأَسَدُ مَعَاشِرَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ أَنْكَرْتُمْ لِوَلِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِهِمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ‏ وَ الْمُتَوَسِّلِ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِهِمْ أَنْ يُسَخِّرَنِيَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لِحِفْظِ غَنَمِهِ

Then the lion called out to them, ‘O group of hypocrites! Your denial to a friend of Muhammadsaww and Aliasws and hissaww goodly Progenyasws, and hisas beseeching to Allahazwj the Exalted by themasws, that you are mocking me, of Allahazwj my Lordazwj (Allocating me) for protecting hisas sheep?

وَ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَهُ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ لَقَدْ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ طَوْعَ يَدِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ حَتَّى لَوْ أَمَرَنِي بِافْتِرَاسِكُمْ وَ هَلَاكِكُمْ لَأَهْلَكْتُكُمْ وَ الَّذِي لَا يُحْلَفُ بِأَعْظَمَ مِنْهُ لَوْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَ الْبِحَارَ دُهْنَ زَنْبَقٍ وَ بَانٍ وَ الْجِبَالَ مِسْكاً وَ عَنْبَراً وَ كَافُوراً وَ قُضْبَانَ الْأَشْجَارِ قُضُبَ الزُّمُرُّدِ وَ الزَّبَرْجَدِ لَمَا مَنَعَهُ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ

By the Oneazwj Who Honoured Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws! Allahazwj has Made me the fingertips of the hand of Abu Zarras to the extent that if heas had ordered me with preying upon you and killing you, I would kill you all. By the Oneazwj Who, no swear is greater than it, if heas were to ask Allahazwj by Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws to Transform the ocean into aromatic oil and perfume, and the mountains to be Musk and Amber and camphor, and the branches of the trees as sticks of emeralds and aquamarine, Allahazwj the Exalted would not Forbid himas that’.

فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا بَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ أَحْسَنْتَ طَاعَةَ اللَّهِ فَسَخَّرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَنْ يُطِيعُكَ فِي كَفِّ الْعَوَادِي عَنْكَ فَأَنْتَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِ مَنْ مَدَحَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِأَنَّهُ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ.

When Abu Zarras came to Rasool-Allahsaww, Rasool-Allahsaww said to himas: ‘O Abu Zarras! Youras obedience to Allahazwj is excellent, therefore Allahazwj Made subservient to you the one who would obey you in the wilderness sufficing on youras behalf, for youas are from the most superior of the ones whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Praised by - and are establishing the Salat [2:3]’’.⁴⁶⁷

(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – Ali Bin Bilal, from Ali Bin Abdullah Al Ashaby, from Al Saqady, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Al Husayn Bin Sufyan, from his father, from Bu Jahzam Al Azdy, from his father, and he was from the people of Syria, he said,

‘When Usman dispatched Abu Zarrra from Al-Medina to Syria, hera used to judge upon us. Hera would praise Allahazwj and testify with the truthful testimony, and send Salawat upon the Prophet, and hera said, ‘As for after, we were in our ignorance before the Book was Revealed unto us and the Rasoolsaww was Sent among us, and we used to be loyal with the pact and ratify the Hadeeth, and be good neighbours, and entertain the guests and help the poor.

فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِينَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْنَا كِتَابَهُ كَانَتْ تِلْكَ الْأَخْلَاقُ يَرْضَاهَا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهَا أَهْلُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَوْلَى أَنْ يَحْفَظُوهَا فَلَبِثُوا بِذَلِكَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَلْبَثُوا

When Allahazwj the Exalted Sent Rasool-Allahsaww among us and Sent down the Book to us, that was the ethics Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww were pleased with, and the people of Islam were rightful with it and foremost that they should preserve it. Then they remained with that for as long as Allahazwj so Desired.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْوُلَاةَ قَدْ أَحْدَثُوا أَعْمَالًا قِبَاحاً مَا نَعْرِفُهَا مِنْ سُنَّةٍ تُطْفَى وَ بِدْعَةٍ تُحْيَا وَ قَائِلٍ بِحَقٍّ مُكَذَّبٍ وَ أَثَرَةٍ لِغَيْرِ تَقِيٍّ وَ أَمِينٍ مُسْتَأْثَرٍ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ مَا عِنْدَكَ خَيْراً لِي فَاقْبِضْنِي إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مُبَدِّلٍ وَ لَا مُغَيِّرٍ وَ كَانَ يُعِيدُ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ وَ يُبْدِيهِ

Then the rulers innovated works what we recognise from extinguishing the Sunnnah and reviving the innovations, and speaking with the right of the liar and preferring other than the pious ones, and the trustees are influenced upon it from the righteous ones. O Allahazwj! If whatever is with Youazwj better for mera, then Capture mera to Youazwj, without having replaced nor changed’. And hera used to repeat this speech and manifest it.

فَأَتَى حَبِيبُ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنَ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يُفْسِدُ عَلَيْكَ النَّاسَ بِقَوْلِهِ كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ بِذَلِكَ فَكَتَبَ عُثْمَانُ أَخْرِجْهُ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا صَارَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ نَفَاهُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ.

Habeeb Bin Maslama came to Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan and said, ‘Abu Zarrra is spoiling the people against you with hisra words such and such’. So, Muawiya wrote to Usman with that, and Usman wrote, ‘Sent himra out to me’. When hera came to Al-Medina, he expelled himra to Al-Rabza’’.⁴⁶⁸

3- جا، المجالس للمفيد بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي جَهْضَمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَخْرَجَ عُثْمَانُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى الشَّامِ كَانَ يَقُومُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَيَعِظُ النَّاسَ وَ يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِالتَّمَسُّكِ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ يُحَذِّرُهُمْ مِنِ ارْتِكَابِ مَعَاصِيهِ

(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – By this chain from Abu Jahzam, from his father who said,

‘When Usman expelled Abu Zarrra Al-Ghafari from Al-Medina to Syria, hera used to stand during every day preaching to the people and instructing them with adhering to the obedience of Allahazwj and warning them from indulging in disobeying Himazwj.

وَ يَرْوِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ فِي فَضَائِلِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ يَحُضُّهُمْ عَلَى التَّمَسُّكِ بِعِتْرَتِهِ فَكَتَبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى عُثْمَانَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ يُصْبِحُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ يُمْسِي إِذَا أَمْسَى وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ كَثِيرَةٌ عِنْدَهُ فَيَقُولُ كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ فِي النَّاسِ قِبَلِي‏ فَأُقْدِمُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يُفْسِدَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْكَ وَ السَّلَامُ.

And it is reported from Rasool-Allahsaww what is heard from himsaww regarding the merits of the Peopleasws of hissaww Household and exhorting them upon the adhering with the Firmest Handhold. Muawiya wrote to Usman, ‘As for after, Abu Zarrra comes to the morning when it is morning, and comes to the evening when it is evening and a large group of people are with himra, and hera says such and such. So, if there was a need for you regarding the people before me, I will send Abu Zarrra to you, for I fear that he will spoil the people against you. And the greetings’.

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ عُثْمَانُ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَأَشْخِصْ إِلَيَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ حِينَ تَنْظُرُ فِي كِتَابِي هَذَا وَ السَّلَامُ.

Usman wrote back to him, ‘As for after, send Abu Zarrra back to me, when you look into this letter of mine. And the greetings’.

فَبَعَثَ مُعَاوِيَةُ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَدَعَاهُ وَ أَقْرَأَهُ كِتَابَ عُثْمَانَ وَ قَالَ لَهُ النَّجَاءَ السَّاعَةَ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ فَشَدَّهَا بِكُورِهَا وَ أَنْسَاعِهَا فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ

Muawiya sent a message to Abu Zarrra and called himasws and read out the letter of Usman to himra and said to himra, ‘The rescue is now’. Abu Zarrra went out to hisra ride and tied its saddle and comforted it. The people gathered to himra and they said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! May Allahazwj have Mercy on youra! Where are you intending?’

قَالَ أَخْرَجُونِي إِلَيْكُمْ غَضَباً عَلَيَّ وَ أَخْرَجُونِي مِنْكُمْ إِلَيْهِمُ الْآنَ عَبَثاً بِي وَ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِيمَا أَرَى شَأْنَهُمْ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ حَتَّى يَسْتَرِيحَ بَرّاً وَ يُسْتَرَاحَ مِنْ فَاجِرٍ وَ مَضَى وَ سَمِعَ النَّاسُ بِمَخْرَجِهِ فَاتَّبَعُوهُ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ دِمَشْقَ

Hera said, ‘He expelled mera to you all in anger upon mera, and he is expelling me from you to them now frowning with mera, and this matter will not cease to be regarding what Ira view of their concern in what is between mera and them until a righteous one rests and there is rest from an immoral one’, and hera went and the people were heard of hisra exit and they followed himra until hera had gone out from Damascus.

فَسَارُوا مَعَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى دَيْرِ الْمُرَّانِ فَنَزَلَ وَ نَزَلَ مَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَاسْتَقْدَمَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي مُوصِيكُمْ بِمَا يَنْفَعُكُمْ وَ تَارِكُ الْخَطْبِ وَ التَّشْقِيقِ احْمَدُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالُوا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ فَأَجَابُوهُ بِمِثْلِ مَا قَالَ

They travelled with himra until hera ended up to a monastery of Al-Murran. Hera descended and the people descended with himra. Hera prayed Salat leading them, then said, ‘O you people! Ira am bequeathing you with what will benefit you’, and hera left the address and the rifts, Praise Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’. They said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’. Then answered himra with similar to what hera had said.

فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْبَعْثَ حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ أَنَّ النَّارَ حَقٌّ وَ أُقِرُّ بِمَا جَاءَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَ اشْهَدُوا عَلَيَّ بِذَلِكَ قَالُوا نَحْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ قَالَ لِيُبَشَّرْ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ كَرَامَتِهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلْمُجْرِمِينَ ظَهِيراً وَ لَا لِأَعْمَالِ الظَّلَمَةِ مُصْلِحاً وَ لَا لَهُمْ مُعِيناً

Hera said, ‘Ira testify that the Resurrection is true, and the Paradise is true, and the Fire is true, and Ira acknowledge with whatever has come from the Presence of Allahazwj, and testify to mera with that’. They said, ‘We are upon that, from the testifiers’. Hera said, ‘Let him receive glad tidings, the one from you who dies upon these characteristics, with the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Honour for as long as he does not happen to be a backer of the criminals nor unjust of the deeds, a reconcilier, and not a supporter to them.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اجْمَعُوا مَعَ صَلَاتِكُمْ وَ صَوْمِكُمْ غَضَباً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِذَا عُصِيَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا تُرْضُوا أَئِمَّتَكُمْ بِسَخَطِ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ أَحْدَثُوا مَا لَا تَعْرِفُونَ فَجَانِبُوهُمْ وَ ازْرَءُوا عَلَيْهِمْ وَ إِنْ عُذِّبْتُمْ وَ حُرِمْتُمْ وَ سُيِّرْتُمْ حَتَّى يَرْضَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَعْلَى وَ أَجَلُّ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُسْخَطَ بِرِضَا الْمَخْلُوقِينَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لِي وَ لَكُمْ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ وَ أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ وَ رَحْمَةَ اللَّهِ

O you people! Unite upon your Salats and Fasts being angry for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic when Heazwj is disobeyed in the earth, and do not please your leaders by Angering Allahazwj, and if they innovate what you do not recognise then shun them and back each other against them, and even if they punish you and deprive you and expel you, until Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Please, for Allahazwj is more Exalted and more Majestic than to be angered by pleasing the creatures. May Allahazwj Forgive mera and you. Ira bid you all farewell and convey the greetings upon you and Mercy of Allahazwj’.

فَنَادَاهُ النَّاسُ أَنْ سَلَّمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ رَحِمَكَ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ يَا صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَ لَا نَرُدُّكَ إِنْ كَانَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ أَخْرَجُوكَ أَ لَا نَمْنَعُكَ‏ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ ارْجِعُوا رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ فَإِنِّي أَصْبَرُ مِنْكُمْ عَلَى الْبَلْوَى وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ الْفُرْقَةَ وَ الِاخْتِلَافَ

The people called out at thimasws, ‘May the safety of Allahazwj be on youra and Mercy of Allahazwj, O Abu Zarrra, O companion of Rasool-Allahazwj! Can we not return you even though these people have expelled youra, can we not prevent it?’ Hera said to them, ‘Return, may Allahazwj have Mercy on you, for Ira am more patient upon the afflictions than you are, and beware of sectarianism and the differing’.

فَمَضَى حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لَهُ لَا قَرَّبَ اللَّهُ بِعَمْرٍو عَيْناً فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمَّانِي أَبَوَايَ عَمْراً وَ لَكِنْ لَا قَرَّبَ اللَّهُ مَنْ عَصَاهُ وَ خَالَفَ أَمْرَهُ وَ ارْتَكَبَ هَوَاهُ

Hera went until hera arrived to Usman. When hera entered to see him, he said to himra, ‘May Allahazwj not Draw Amro closer’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘My parents did not name mera as ‘Amr’, but may Allahazwj not Draw closer one who disobeys Himazwj and opposes Hisazwj Commands, and rides his owns whims’.

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ كَعْبُ الْأَحْبَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَ لَا تَتَّقِي اللَّهَ يَا شَيْخُ تَجْبَهُ‏ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِهَذَا الْكَلَامِ فَرَفَعَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ عَصًا كَانَتْ فِي يَدِهِ فَضَرَبَ بِهَا رَأْسَ كَعْبٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ الْيَهُودِيَّيْنِ مَا كَلَامُكَ مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا خَرَجَتِ الْيَهُودِيَّةُ مِنْ قَلْبِكَ بَعْدُ

Ka’ad Al-Ahbar stood up to himra and said to himra, ‘Do youra not fear Allahazwj, O sheikh? Youra are answering to the commander of the faithful with this speech?’ Abu Zarrra raised hisra staff which was in hisra hand and struck the head of Ka’ab with it, then said to him, ‘O son of two Jews! What is your speech with the Muslims? By Allahazwj, the Judaism has not gone away from your heart afterwards’.

فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ وَ اللَّهِ لَا جَمَعَتْنِي وَ إِيَّاكَ دَارٌ قَدْ خَرِفْتَ وَ ذَهَبَ عَقْلُكَ أَخْرِجُوهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ حَتَّى تُرْكِبُوهُ قَتَبَ نَاقَتِهِ بِغَيْرِ وِطَاءٍ ثُمَّ انْجُوا بِهِ النَّاقَةَ وَ تَعْتِعُوهُ حَتَّى تُوصِلُوهُ الرَّبَذَةَ فَنَزِّلُوهُ بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنِيسٍ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَا هُوَ قَاضٍ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ مُتَعْتَعاً مَلْهُوزاً بِالْعِصِيِّ وَ تَقَدَّمَ أَلَّا يُشَيِّعَهُ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ

Usman said, ‘By Allahazwj! Youra and I will not gather in one house. Youra have become senile and your mind has gone. Expel himra from in front of me! Make himra ride upon hisra camel without a saddle! Then tie himra with the camel and go with himra until he arrives to Al-Rabza and descend himra at it from without there being any comforter until Allahazwj Causes himra to pass away in it, this is what has been decreed. Take himra out in humiliation with the notoriety, and go ahead. No one from the people should escort himra’.

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَبَكَى حَتَّى بُلَّ لِحْيَتُهُ بِدُمُوعِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ هَكَذَا يُصْنَعُ بِصَاحِبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ‏ ثُمَّ نَهَضَ وَ مَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ الْفَضْلُ وَ قُثَمُ وَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى لَحِقُوا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَشَيَّعُوهُ

That reached Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Heasws cried until hisasws beard was moist, then said: ‘Is it like this one deals with a companion of Rasool-Allahsaww? We are for Allahazwj and we are returning to Himazwj’. Then heasws got up and with himasws were Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and Abdullah Bin Al-Abbas, and Al-Fazl, and Fusam, and Ubeydullah, until they came across Abu Zarrra, and they escorted himra.

فَلَمَّا بَصُرَ بِهِمْ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ حَنَّ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ بَكَى عَلَيْهِمْ وَ قَالَ بِأَبِي وُجُوهٌ إِذَا رَأَيْتُهَا ذَكَرْتُ بِهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ شَمَلَتْنِي الْبَرَكَةُ بِرُؤْيَتِهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُمْ وَ لَوْ قُطِعْتُ إِرْباً إِرْباً فِي مَحَبَّتِهِمْ مَا زُلْتُ عَنْهَا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِكَ وَ الدَّارِ الْآخِرَةِ فَارْجِعُوا رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهَ أَسْأَلُ أَنْ يُخْلِفَنِي فِيكُمْ أَحْسَنَ الْخِلَافَةَ

When Abu Zarrra saw them, yearned to them and cried upon them and said, ‘By myra father! (These are such) faces, whenever Ira see them, Ira remember Rasool-Allahsaww and the Blessings cover mera due to seeing these’. Then hera raised hisra hand towards the sky and said, ‘O Allahazwj! Ira love them, and even if Ira were to be cut into pieces and pieces in their love, Ira would not move from it, seeking Yourazwj Face and the house of the Hereafter’. Return, may Allahazwj have Mercy on you all! By Allahazwj! Ira will ask Allahazwj to Replace mera among you all a better replacement’.

فَوَدَّعَهُ الْقَوْمُ وَ رَجَعُوا وَ هُمْ يَبْكُونَ عَلَى فِرَاقِهِ‏.

Hera bade farewell to the people, and they returned and they were crying upon hisra separation’’. ⁴⁶⁹

(The book) ‘Rijaal Al Kashy) – Muhammad Bin Sa’ad Bin Mazeed, and Muhammad Bin Abu Awf both together from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Hammad, raising it, said,

‘Abu Zarrra is the one for whom Rasool-Allahsaww in hisra glory: ‘Neither has the greenery (sky) shaded nor the dust (ground) carried upon one with a tone more truthful than Abu Zarrra. Hera lives alone, and will die alone, and will be resurrected alone, and enter the Paradise alone’; and hera was a heralder of the merits of Amir Al-Momineenasws successorasws of Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww nominating himasws a Caliph.

فَنَفَاهُ الْقَوْمُ عَنْ حَرَمِ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَمِ رَسُولِهِ بَعْدَ حَمْلِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ مِنَ الشَّامِ عَلَى قَتَبٍ بِلَا وِطَاءٍ وَ هُوَ يَصِيحُ فِيهِمْ قَدْ خَابَ الْقِطَارُ بِحَمْلِ النَّارِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَنُو أَبِي الْعَاصِ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا اتَّخَذُوا دِينَ اللَّهِ دَخَلًا وَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ خَوَلًا وَ مَالَ اللَّهِ دُوَلًا فَقَتَلُوهُ فَقْراً وَ جُوعاً وَ ضَرّاً وَ صَبْراً.

The people denied himra about the Sanctity of Allahazwj and sanctity of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww after their having carried himra from Al-Syria upon a ride without any saddle, and hera was yelling among them, the ride having been difficult like carrying the fire, ‘Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘When the sons of Al-Aas reaches thirty men, they will take the Religion of Allahazwj for an income, and the servants of Allahazwj as (their own) salves, and wealth of Allahazwj as a government (their own)’. They killed himra by poverty, hunger, and harm, but (hera remained) patience’’.⁴⁷⁰

(The book) ‘Rijaal Al Kashy’ – Ja’far Bin Marouf, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al Numan, from his father, from Al Batainy, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying, ‘Usman sent to Abu Zarrra two slaves of his having two hundred Dinars with them. He said to them, ‘Go to Abu Zarrra and say to himra that Usman conveys the greetings to youra and is saying to youra, ‘These here are two hundred Dinars to be assisted by it upon whatever affects youra’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ هَلْ أَعْطَى أَحَداً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْطَانِي قَالا لَا قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَسَعُنِي مَا يَسَعُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالا لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَقُولُ هَذَا مِنْ صُلْبِ مَالِي وَ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ مَا خَالَطَهَا حَرَامٌ وَ لَا بَعَثَ‏ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مِنْ حَلَالٍ فَقَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهَا وَ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ أَنَا مِنْ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ

Abu Zarrra said, ‘Has anyone from the Muslims been given similar to what Ira am being give?’ They said, ‘No’. Hera said, ‘But rather Ira am a man from the Muslims. It affects mera what affects the Muslims’. They said to himra, ‘He (Usman) is saying, ‘This is from the capital of my wealth, and by Allahazwj Who, there is not god except Heazwj, I have not mingled it with any Prohibited (wealth), nor am I send it to you except from Permissible (means)’. Hera said, ‘There is no need for me regarding it, and Ira have woken upon in this morning of mine and Ira from the richest of the people’.

They said to him, ‘May Allahazwj Pardon youra and Keep youra well! We do not see anything in yourra house, neither little nor more, from what youra are talking with’. Hera said, ‘Yes, under this covering which you see is a barley bread upon which days have come upon. So, what shall Ira do with these Dinars? But, by Allahazwj, until Allahazwj Knows that Ira am not able upon the little nor more, and Ira have woken upon this morning, rich with the Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and hisasws familyasws, the guides, the Guided ones, the pleased, the ones Pleased with, those Guiding with the Truth and by it they are dispensing justice [7:181].

And similar to that, Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘It is ugly with the old man that he happens to be a liar, so return it to him and let him know that there is no need for mera regarding it nor regarding whatever is with him until Ira meet Allahazwj myra Lordazwj, and Heazwj will be the Judge regarding what is between mera and him’’.⁴⁷¹

‘Abu Zarrra remained at Al-Rabza until hera passed away. When the death presented to himra, hera said to hisra wife, ‘Slaughter a sheep from your flock and cook it’.

‘I went out in a group intending the Hajj, from them was Malik Bin Al-Haris Al-Ashtar, until we arrived at Al-Rabza, and over there was a woman upon the middle of the road saying, ‘O Muslim servants of Allahazwj! This is Abu Zarrra, companion of Rasool-Allahsaww who has passed away in alienation. There isn’y anyone for me to assist me upon himra’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘We looked at each other and we praised Allahazwj upon what had been ushered to us, and we said, ‘We are from Allahazwj and to Himazwj we are returning’, upon the great calamity. Then we went with her and prepared himra, and we competed in enshrouding himra the equality came out from between us. Then we assisted each other upon washing himra until we were free from it. Then Malik Al-Ashtar went ahead and led the Salat with us upon himra, then we buried himra.

Al-Ashtar stood upon hisra grave, then said, ‘O Allahazwj! This is Abu Zarrra, companion of Rasool-Allahsaww, Yourazwj servant among the worshippers, and the fighter for Yourazwj Sake against the Polytheists. Hera did not change nor did hera replace, but hera saw evil and altered it by hisra tongue and hisra heart until hera was deprived, and exiled, and prevented and despised. Then hera died in a strange land. O Allahazwj! Break the ones who deprived himra, and exiled himra from hisra emigration, and deprived Yourazwj Rasoolsaww’.

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khas’amy,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Zarrra came over to the Prophetsaww, and with himsaww was Jibraeelas in the image of Dihyat Al-Kalby, and Rasool-Allahsaww had isolated with himas. When he (Abu Zarrra) saw themas, hera turned away from the two of themas, and did not cut off theirasws conversation. Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! This is Abu Zarrra who has passed by usasws and did not greet upon usas. But, had hera greeted, weasws would have returned the greeting upon himra. O Muhammadsaww! For himra there is a supplication hera tends to supplicate with which is well-known among the inhabitants of the sky, therefore ask himra about it, when Ira ascend to the sky’.

فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع جَاءَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مَنَعَكَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَنْ تَكُونَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَيْنَا حِينَ مَرَرْتَ بِنَا فَقَالَ ظَنَنْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَّ الَّذِي مَعَكَ دِحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ قَدِ اسْتَخْلَيْتَهُ لِبَعْضِ شَأْنِكَ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ قَدْ قَالَ أَمَا لَوْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا لَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ

When Jibraeelas ascended, Abu Zarrra came over to the Prophetsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww said to himas: ‘What prevented youra, O Abu Zarrra, from greeting upon usasws when youra passed by usasws?’ Hera said: ‘Ira thought, O Rasool-Allahsaww, that who was with yousaww, Dihiyat Al-Kalby, yousaww had isolated with him for one of yoursaww matters’. Hesaww said: ‘That was Jibraeelas, O Abu Zarrra, and heas said: ‘But, had hera greeted, weasws would have returned the greeting upon himra’.

فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع دَخَلَهُ مِنَ النَّدَامَةِ حَيْثُ لَمْ يُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ الَّذِي تَدْعُو بِهِ فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ع أَنَّ لَكَ دُعَاءً تَدْعُو بِهِ مَعْرُوفاً فِي السَّمَاءِ

When Abu Zarrra came to know that it was Jibraeelas, regret entered upon himra why hera did not greet upon himas, for as long as Allahazwj so Desired. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘What is this supplication which youra tend to supplicate with, for Jibraeelas informed mesaww that there is a supplication with youra, which youas tend to supplicate with which is well-known in the sky?’

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمْنَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ التَّصْدِيقَ بِنَبِيِّكَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ الشُّكْرَ عَلَى الْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْغِنَى عَنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ‏.

Hera said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Ira say, ‘O Allahazwj!

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Musanna, from Abu baser,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Zarrra said in hisra address, ‘O seeker of the knowledge. It is as if something from the world does not happen to be a thing except whatever it benefitted by its goodness and is harmed by its evil, except for the one Allahazwj is Merciful to.

يَا مُبْتَغِيَ الْعِلْمِ لَا يَشْغَلُكَ أَهْلٌ وَ لَا مَالٌ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ أَنْتَ يَوْمَ تُفَارِقُهُمْ كَضَيْفٍ بِتَّ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ غَدَوْتَ عَنْهُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِهِمْ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةُ كَمَنْزِلٍ تَحَوَّلْتَ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْبَعْثِ إِلَّا كَنَوْمَةٍ نِمْتَهَا ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْتَ مِنْهَا يَا مُبْتَغِيَ الْعِلْمِ قَدِّمْ لِمَقَامِكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّكَ مُثَابٌ بِعَمَلِكَ كَمَا تَدِينُ تُدَانُ يَا مُبْتَغِيَ الْعِلْمِ‏.

O seeker of knowledge! Neither should the family nor the wealth pre-occupy you from yourself. You are like a guest today sleeping among them, then you would be going away from them to the others; and the world and the Hereafter are like a house you transfer from one to another; and what is the death and the Resurrection except like a sleep you sleep, then you wake up from it? O seeker of knowledge! Proceed to your place in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, for you would be Rewarded for your deeds just as you would reap what you have sown, O seeker of knowledge’’.⁴⁷⁷

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from one of his companions, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Usman, from Wasil, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘A man came over to Abu Zarrra and he said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! What is the matter with us that we tend to dislike the death?’ Hera said: ‘Because you are all building the world and ruining the Hereafter, therefore you are disliking to be transferred from buildings to the ruins’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ فَكَيْفَ تَرَى قُدُومَنَا عَلَى اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْمُحْسِنُ مِنْكُمْ فَكَالْغَائِبِ يَقْدَمُ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ أَمَّا الْمُسِي‏ءُ فَكَالْآبِقِ يَرِدُ عَلَى مَوْلَاهُ

He said to himra, ‘How do youra see our proceeding to Allahazwj?’ Hera said: ‘As for the good ones from you, so he is like the absentee proceeding to his family, and as for the disobedient ones from you, so he is like the absconder (slave) returning to his master’.

قَالَ فَكَيْفَ تَرَى حَالَنَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ اعْرِضُوا أَعْمَالَكُمْ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ الْأَبْرارَ لَفِي نَعِيمٍ وَ إِنَّ الْفُجَّارَ لَفِي جَحِيمٍ‏

He said: ‘How do youra see our state in the Presence of Allahazwj?’ Hera said: ‘Your deeds would be presented upon the Book. Allahazwj is Saying: Surely the righteous would be in Bliss [82:13] And surely the immoral would be in the Blazing Fire [82:14].

قَالَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَأَيْنَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ‏ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ‏

Heasws said: ‘The man said, ‘Where is the Mercy of Allahazwj?’ Hera said: ‘The Mercy of Allahazwj is near to the good doers’.

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ كَتَبَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ أَطْرِفْنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ الْعِلْمَ كَثِيرٌ وَ لَكِنْ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُسِي‏ءَ إِلَى مَنْ تُحِبُّهُ فَافْعَلْ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ أَحَداً يُسِي‏ءُ إِلَى مَنْ يُحِبُّهُ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ نَفْسُكَ أَحَبُّ الْأَنْفُسِ إِلَيْكَ فَإِذَا أَنْتَ عَصَيْتَ اللَّهَ فَقَدْ أَسَأْتَ إِلَيْهَا.

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘And a man wrote to Abu Zarrra, may Allahazwj be Pleased with himas, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Present to me something from the knowledge’. Hera wrote to him: ‘The knowledge is a lot, but if you are able that you do not disappoint the one whom you love, then do so’. The man said to himra, ‘And have youra seen anyone who disappoint the one whom he loves?’ Hera said to him: ‘Yes, your soul is the most beloved of the selves to you. When you disobey Allahazwj, so you would have disappointed it’’.⁴⁷⁸

Al Kafi – Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Muhammad Bin Ayoub and Ali, from his father, altogether from Al Bazanty, from Aban Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘Abu Zarrra came to the Rasool-Allahsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, Ira have begun disliking Al-Medina. Will yousaww permit mera, and that Ira and the son of myra brother go out to Muzeyna, and be at it?’

فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ تُغِيرَ عَلَيْكَ خَيْلٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَيُقْتَلَ ابْنُ أَخِيكَ فَتَأْتِيَنِي شَعِثاً فَتَقُومَ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ مُتَّكِئاً عَلَى عَصَاكَ فَتَقُولَ قُتِلَ ابْنُ أَخِي وَ أُخِذَ السَّرْحُ

Hesaww said: ‘Isaww fear that youra might be attacked by Arab horsemen, so they would kill the son of yourra 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 myra brother has been killed, and the cattle taken away’.

فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَلْ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا خَيْراً إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

Hera said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww, but nothing will happen except for the good, Allahazwj Willing’. So the Rasool-Allahsaww gave himra permission.

فَخَرَجَ هُوَ وَ ابْنُ أَخِيهِ وَ امْرَأَتُهُ فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ هُنَاكَ إِلَّا يَسِيراً حَتَّى غَارَتْ خَيْلٌ لِبَنِي فَزَارَةَ فِيهَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنٍ فَأَخَذَ السَّرْحَ وَ قَتَلَ ابْنَ أَخِيهِ وَ أُخِذَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مِنْ بَنِي غِفَارٍ

So hera and the son of hisra brother, and hisra 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 hisra brother, and took hisra wife who was from the clan of Ghaffaar.

وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَشْتَدُّ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص 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

And Abu Zarrra 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 His Rasoolsaww were right. The cattle were taken, and the son of myra brother being killed, and Ira am leaning upon my stick’.

فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَخَرَجُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ فَرَدُّوا السَّرْحَ وَ قَتَلُوا نَفَراً مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww shouted among the Muslims. So, they went out in the search, and returned the cattle, and killed a number from the Polytheists’’.⁴⁷⁹

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Sa’dan Bin Muslim, from our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘There was a man in Al-Medina who entered the Masjid of Rasoolsaww and he said, ‘Grant me comfort in my anxiety, and company for my loneliness, and being Graced a righteous companion’.

فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ فِي أَقْصَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ مَنْ‏ أَنْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ لِمَ تُكَبِّرُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُؤْنِسَ وَحْشَتِي وَ أَنْ يَصِلَ وَحْدَتِي وَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَنِي جَلِيساً صَالِحاً

There was a man seated in the corner of the Masjid. He greeted him and said to him, ‘Who are you, O servant of Allahazwj?’ Hera said: ‘Ira am Abu Zarrra’. The man said, ‘Allahazwj is Great! Allahazwj is Great!’ Abu Zarrra 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 being Graced a righteous companion’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ مِنْكَ إِذْ كُنْتُ‏ ذَلِكَ الْجَلِيسَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ أَنَا وَ أَنْتُمْ عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ النَّاسُ مِنَ الْحِسَابِ قُمْ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ نَهَى السُّلْطَانُ عَنْ مُجَالَسَتِي‏.

Abu Zarrra said to him, ‘Ira have more right for the exclamation than you are if Ira was that companion, for Ira heard the Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Isaww and youra 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 mera’’.⁴⁸⁰

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – By his chain, from As’ad Bin Zurara, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Amra Al Ansari who said,

‘When Abu Zarrra arrived to Usman he said, ‘Inform me, which of the cities is most beloved to youra?’ Hera said, ‘Ira am an immigrant’. He said, ‘Youra are not going to be my neighbour’. Hera said, ‘Then Ira shall join up with the Sanctuary of Allahazwj and be in it’. He said, No’. Hera said, ‘Al-Kufa, a land the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww are at it’. He said, ‘No’. Then Ira am not with any choice other than these’. He ordered him to travel to Al-Rabza.

فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِيَ اسْمَعْ وَ الْمَعْ وَ انْفُذْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ وَ لَوْ لِعَبْدٍ حَبَشِيٍّ مُجَدَّعٍ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ وَ أَقَامَ مُدَّةً ثُمَّ أَتَى الْمَدِينَةَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ وَ النَّاسُ عِنْدَهُ سِمَاطَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّكَ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنْ أَرْضِي إِلَى أَرْضٍ لَيْسَ بِهَا زَرْعٌ وَ لَا ضَرْعٌ إِلَّا شُوَيْهَاتٌ وَ لَيْسَ لِي خَادِمٌ إِلَّا مُحَرَّرَةٌ وَ لَا ظِلٌّ يُظِلُّنِي إِلَّا ظِلُّ شَجَرَةٍ فَأَعْطِنِي خَادِماً وَ غُنَيْمَاتٍ أَعِيشُ فِيهَا

Hera said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to mera: ‘Listen and shine and implement wherever youra are led to and even if it be to an Abyssinian slave’. Hera went out to Al-Rabza and stayed for a period, then came to Al-Medina and entered to see Usman, and the people were in his presence, listening. Hera said, ‘O commander of the faithful! You expelled mera from myra land to a land there aren’t any plants at it nor udders (animals) except small sheep, and there isn’t any servant for mera except a free woman (wife), nor any shade to shade mera except shade of a tree, so give mera a servant, and a flock of sheep Ira can live in it’.

فَحَوَّلَ وَجْهَهُ عَنْهُ فَتَحَوَّلَ إِلَى السِّمَاطِ الْآخَرِ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ حَبِيبُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ لَكَ عِنْدِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلْفُ دِرْهَمٍ وَ خَادِمٌ وَ خَمْسُمِائَةِ شَاةٍ قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَعْطِ خَادِمَكَ وَ أَلْفَكَ وَ شُوَيْهَاتِكَ مَنْ هُوَ أَحْوَجُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ مِنِّي فَإِنِّي إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُ حَقِّي فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ

He turned his face away from himra and turned towards another direction. Hera said similar to that. Habeen Bin Salama said to himra, ‘There are a thousand Dirhams with me for youra, and a servant, and five hundred sheep’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Give your servant, and your thousand and your sheep to one who is needier to that than Ira am, for rather Ira am only asking myra right in the Book of Allahazwj’.

Aliasws came, and Usman said to himasws, ‘Will youasws not avail from us this foolish one of yoursasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Which foolish one?’ He said, ‘Abu Zarrra’. Aliasws said: ‘Hera isn’t with foolishness. Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Neither has the green (sky) shaded nor has the dust (earth) carried anyone of a more truthful tone than Abu Zarrra. Hisra status is at the status of Momin of the people of Pharaohla: And if he happens to be a liar, then upon him would be his lie, and if he happens to be truthful, some of that which he promises you will afflict you.

‘I said to Al-Sadiq Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, ‘Inform me about Abu Zarrra, is hera superior or youasws the Peopleasws of the Household?’

فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ صُهَيْبٍ كَمْ شُهُورُ السَّنَةِ فَقُلْتُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ شَهْراً فَقَالَ وَ كَمِ الْحُرُمُ مِنْهَا قُلْتُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ قَالَ فَشَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ مِنْهَا قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَشَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ أَفْضَلُ أَمِ الْأَشْهُرُ الْحُرُمُ فَقُلْتُ بَلْ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ

Heasws said: ‘O Ibn Suheyb! How many months are there in a year?’ I said, ‘Twelve’. Heasws said: ‘And how many from these are sacred?’ I said, ‘Four months’. Heasws said: ‘Is the Month of Ramazan from these?’ I said, ‘No’. Heasws said, ‘So, is the Month of Ramazan superior of the sacred months?’ I said, ‘But, the Month of Ramazan’.

قَالَ فَكَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَا يُقَاسُ بِنَا أَحَدٌ وَ إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَانَ فِي قَوْمٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَتَذَاكَرُوا فَضَائِلَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَفْضَلُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ هُوَ قَسِيمُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ وَ هُوَ صِدِّيقُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ فَارُوقُهَا وَ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا

Heasws said: ‘Similar to that are weasws, the Peopleasws of the Household. No one can be compared with usasws, and Abu Zarrra was among companions of Rasool-Allahsaww and they mentioned the merits of this community. Abu Zarrra said, ‘The most superior of this community is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and heasws is the distributor of the Paradise and the Fire, and heasws is the truthful (Siddique) of this community, and its differentiator (Farouq), and the Divine Authority upon it’.

There did not remain anyone from the group except he turned his face away from himra and denied hisra words to himra, and belied himra. Abu Amama Al-Bahily went from between them to Rasool-Allahsaww and informed himsaww with the words of Abu Zarrra and their turning away from himra and belying himra for it.

‘When Aliasws turned back from escorting Abu Zarrra, the people met himasws and they said, ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Usman is angry upon youasws for escorting Abu Zarrra’. Aliasws said: ‘The horse is angry upon the silence of the bridle (strap).

As for after, O myra brother, fear Allahazwj fearing mostly with the crying your eyes out, and heat of your heart, and stay awake your night and install your body in obedience to your Lordazwj.

It is right for the ones who knows that the Fire is a lodgement from the Wrath of Allahazwj upon him that he should prolong his crying and install it, and stays awake at nights until he knows that Allahazwj is Pleased from him, and it is right for the one who knows that the Paradise is a lodgement of the one Allahazwj is Pleased from him, that he should accept the Truth so that he would win with it, and belittle for the Sake of the Self of Allahazwj, the exiting from his family, and his wealth, and stand his night (in Salat), and Fast his day, and fight the unjust ones, the atheists, by his hands and his tongue until he knows that Allahazwj has Obligate it (Paradise) for him, and he wouldn’t know that without meeting his Lordazwj.

و كذلك ينبغي لكل من رغب في جوار الله و مرافقة أنبيائه أن يكون يا أخي أنت ممن أستريح إلى الضريح إليه بثي‏ و حزني و أشكو إليه تظاهر الظالمين علي إني رأيت الجور يعمل به بعيني و سمعته يقال فرددته

And like that, it is befitting for every one desirous regarding the vicinity of Allahazwj and the friendship of Hisazwj Prophetsas, that O myra brother, he becomes from the ones who are at rest beseeching to Himazwj with something. Myra grief and complaint to Himazwj is the prevailing of the oppressors upon mera. Ira see the tyranny being worked with exactly, and Ira heard it being said, ‘Repel himra’.

فحرمت العطاء و سيرت إلى البلاد و غربت عن العشيرة و الإخوان و حرم الرسول ص و أعوذ بربي العظيم أن يكون هذا مني له شكوى أن ركب مني ما ركب

So, Ira was deprived of the awards, and made to travel to the cry and alienation from the clan and the brothers, and sanctity of the Rasoolsaww, and Ira seek Refuge with myra Magnificent Lordazwj, that this become myra complaint to Himazwj, of what has happen of mera what happened.

Huzeyfa wrote to himra, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. As for after, O my brotherra! Yourra letter has reached me scaring me with it, and cautioning me in it of my resort, and urging me in it upon preserving myself. O my brotherra! For a long time I have been soft, subtle with myself and with the Momineen, and compassionate upon them, and enjoining them with the good and forbidding them from the evil, and no one guides me to the Pleasure of Allahazwj except Heazwj, there is no god except Heazwj, not any prevented from Hisazwj Wrath except by the Grace of Hisazwj Mercy and Greatness of Hisazwj Conferment.

فنسأل الله ربنا لأنفسنا و خاصتنا و عامتنا و جماعة أمتنا مغفرة عامة و رحمة واسعة و قد فهمت ما ذكرت من تسييرك يا أخي و تغريبك و تطريدك فعز و الله علي يا أخي ما وصل إليك من مكروه و لو كان يفتدى ذلك بمال لأعطيت فيه مالي طيبة بذلك نفسي

We ask Allahazwj our Lordazwj, for ourselves and our special ones and our general ones and a group of our community, general Forgiveness and Vast Mercy, and I have understood what youra mentioned from youra being made to travel, O my brotherra, and yourra change, and yourra exile. O my brotherra, by Allahazwj, it is dear to me what has arrived to youra from its abhorrence, and if that could be ransomed with wealth, I would give my wealth regarding it, to make my self feel good with that.

يصرف الله عنك بذلك المكروه و الله لو سألت لك المواساة ثم أعطيتها لأحببت احتمال شطر ما نزل بك و مواساتك في الفقر و الأذى و الضرر لكنه ليس لأنفسنا إلا ما شاء ربنا يا أخي فافزع بنا إلى ربنا و لنجعل إليه رغبتنا

May Allahazwj Turn away from youra its abhorrence with that. By Allahazwj! If youra has asked for the consolation to youra, then I would have given it. I would love to bear part of has befallen youra, and console you in the poverty, and the hurt and the harm. But it isn’t for us except what our Lordazwj so Desires. O my brotherra! So, let us both panic to our Lordazwj and make our desires to Himazwj.

فإنا قد استحصدنا و اقترب الصرام فكأني‏ و إياك قد دعينا فأجبنا و عرضنا على أعمالنا فاحتجنا إلى ما أسلفنا يا أخي و لا تأس على ما فاتك و لا تحزن على ما أصابك و احتسب فيه الخير و ارتقب فيه من الله أسنى الثواب

We are about to reap and the (time of) harvest has drawn closer. It is as if I and youra have been called and we have responded and our deeds are presented we are being argued to what we had done previously. O my brotherra! And do not despair upon what youra lose nor grieve upon what afflicts youra, and reckon the good to be in it and anticipate in it from Allahazwj for the most rewarding of the Rewards.

يا أخي لا أرى الموت لي و لك إلا خيرا من البقاء فإنه قد أظلتنا فتن يتلو بعضها بعضا كقطع الليل المظلم قد ابتعثت من مركبها و وطئت في حطامها تشهر فيها السيوف و ينزل فيها الحتوف فيها يقتل من اطلع لها و التبس بها و ركض فيها و لا تبقى قبيلة من قبائل العرب من الوبر و المدر إلا دخلت عليهم

O my brotherra! I do not see the death, neither for me nor for youra, except as better than the remaining alive, for the Fitna (strife) has shaded us, emerging part with part, like a piece of the dark night having been sent from its ride, and stepped into its wreckage, during it the swords have been brandished and the doom would descend during it. He would be killed in it one who is notified to it, and wears with it, and runs in it, and there is not remain any tribe from the tribes of the Arabs, from the towns and the villages, except it would enter upon them.

فأعز أهل ذلك الزمان أشدهم عتوا و أذلهم أتقاهم فأعاذنا الله و إياك من زمان هذه حال أهله فيه لن أدع الدعاء لك في القيام و القعود و الليل و النهار و قد قال الله و لا خلف لموعوده‏ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ داخِرِينَ‏

The dearest of the people of that time would be the severest of them in transgression, and their most humiliated one would be their most pious ones. Allahazwj has Helped us, and beware of this state of its people during it. Never leave yourra supplication during the standing and the sitting and the night and the day, and Allahazwj has Said, and there is no breaking of Hisazwj Promise: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. Surely those who are too arrogant from worshipping Me would be entering Hell disgraced [40:60].

فنستجير بالله من التكبر عن عبادته و الاستنكاف عن طاعته جعل الله لنا و لك فرجا و مخرجا عاجلا برحمته و السلام عليك‏.

We seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the arrogance of Hisazwj servants, and the disapproval of obeying Himazwj. May Allahazwj make for us and for youra a relief and a way out through Hisazwj Mercy. And the greetings be upon youra’’.⁴⁹²

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘A man came to Abu Zarrra to give himra the good news of a sheep of hisra which had given birth. He said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Receive good news, for yourra sheep has given birth and have multiplied’.

فَقَالَ مَا يَسُرُّنِي كَثْرَتُهَا وَ مَا أُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ فَمَا قَلَّ وَ كَفَى أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَ أَلْهَى إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ عَلَى حَافَتَيِ الصِّرَاطِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الرَّحِمُ وَ الْأَمَانَةُ فَإِذَا مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ الْوَصُولُ لِلرَّحِمِ الْمُؤَدِّي لِلْأَمَانَةِ لَمْ يُتَكَفَّأْ بِهِ فِي النَّارِ.

Hera said, ‘Its multiplying does not cheer measws and Ira do not like that, as whatever is little and suffices is more beloved to mera than what is more. By My Godazwj! Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Upon the edges of the Bridge on the Day of Qiyamah would be the womb relationship and the entrustment. So, when the helping to the relatives passes upon it, and the payer of the entrustments, both sufficing with it regarding the Fire’’.⁴⁹³

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, and Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Zarrra faulted a man upon the covenant of the Prophetsaww with his mother. Hera said to him, ‘O Ibn Sawdah O son of a black man)!’ – and his mother was (called) Sawdah. Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Change it with his mother, O Abu Zarrra’.

(The book) ‘Rijaal Al Kashy’ – Muhammad Bin Masoud and Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Baryani, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Faris, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Zayd Al Shaham who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Abu Zarrra sought Rasool-Allahsaww. It was said, ‘Hesaww is in such and such orchard’. Hera headed towards it in searching for himsaww and found himsaww sleeping, so it was grievous upon himra to awaken himsaww, and hera wanted to free hissaww sleep from hissaww wakefulness. Hera grabbed a dried out branch and broke it to himsaww to hear its sound, so hesaww would be free from hissaww sleep.

فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ تَخْدَعُنِي أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي أَرَى أَعْمَالَكُمْ فِي مَنَامِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ فِي يَقَظَتِي إِنَّ عَيْنَيَّ تَنَامَانِ وَ لَا يَنَامُ قَلْبِي‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww heard it raised hissaww head and said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! Are youra (trying to) deceive mesaww?’ But, do youra not know that Isaww can see in mysaww sleep just as Isaww you all during mysaww wakefulness. Mysaww eyes sleep but mysaww heart does not sleep’’.⁴⁹⁵

(The book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’, and from hisasws speech to Abu Zarrra when hera was expelled to Al-Rabza: ‘O Abu Zarrra! Youra were angered for the Sake of Allahazwj, therefore hope to the Oneazwj Who youra were angered for. The people were feared youra upon their world while youra feared them upon yourra Religion, so leave it to be in their hands what they are scared of youra upon it, and flee from them with what youra feared them upon it.

فَمَا أَحْوَجَهُمْ إِلَى مَا مَنَعْتَهُمْ وَ أَغْنَاكَ عَمَّا مَنَعُوكَ وَ سَتَعْلَمُ مَنِ الرَّابِحُ غَداً وَ الْأَكْثَرُ حَسَداً

How needy they to what you are dissuading them, and how needless youra are from what they are preventing youra, and youra will soon know who is the gainer tomorrow and more enviable.

وَ لَوْ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ كَانَتَا عَلَى عَبْدٍ رَتْقاً ثُمَّ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ لَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْهُمَا مَخْرَجاً لَا يُؤْنِسَنَّكَ إِلَّا الْحَقُّ وَ لَا يُوحِشَنَّكَ إِلَّا الْبَاطِلُ فَلَوْ قَبِلْتَ دُنْيَاهُمْ لَأَحَبُّوكَ وَ لَوْ قَرَضْتَ مِنْهَا لَآمَنُوكَ‏.

And even if the skies and the earth were to be closed to a servant, then he fears Allahazwj, Allahazwj would Make a way out for him from them. Do not let anything comfort youra except the truth, nor terrify youra except the falsehood. If youra had accepted their world, they would love youra, and if youra had borrowed from it, they would have secured youra’’.

عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس قال‏ لما أخرج أبو ذر إلى الربذة أمر عثمان فنودي في الناس أن لا يكلم أحد أبا ذر و لا يشيعه و أمر مروان بن الحكم أن يخرج‏ به فتحاماه الناس إلا علي بن أبي طالب ع و عقيلا أخاه و حسنا و حسينا ع و عمار بن ياسر فإنهم خرجوا معه يشيعونه

From Ikrimah (Bin Abu Jahl), from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘When Abu Zarrra was exiled to Al-Rabza, Usman ordered and it was called out among the people: ‘No one should speak to Abu Zarrra, nor escort himra!’, and he ordered Marwan Bin Al-Hakam to go out with himra. The people challenged him by Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and Aqeel hisasws brother, and Hassanasws and Husaynasws, and Ammar Bin Yasserra, and they went out with himra escorting himra.

فجعل الحسن ع يكلم أبا ذر فقال له مروان إيها يا حسن أ لا تعلم أن أمير المؤمنين قد نهى عن كلام ذلك الرجل فإن كنت لا تعلم فاعلم ذلك فحمل علي ع على مروان فضرب بالسوط بين أذني راحلته و قال تنح لحاك الله إلى النار

Al-Hassanasws went on to speak to Abu Zarrra. Marwan said to himasws, ‘O you Husaynasws! Don’t youasws know that the commander of the faithful has forbidden from speaking to that man? If youasws don’t know, then know that’. Aliasws attacked upon Marwan but he (Marwan) hit with the whip between the ears of hisasws ride, and heasws said: ‘Away, may Allahazwj Send you to the Fire!’

فرجع مروان مغضبا إلى عثمان فأخبره الخبر فتلظى على علي ع و وقف أبو ذر فودعه القوم و معه ذكوان مولى أم هانئ بنت أبي طالب قال ذكوان فحفظت كلام القوم و كان حافظا

Marwan returned angrily to Usman and informed him the news and inflamed against Aliasws, and Abu Zarrra paused and bade farewell to the people, and with himra was Zakwan a slave of Umm Hany daughter of Abu Talibas. Zakwan said, ‘I memorised the speech of the people’, and he was a memoriser.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا بَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ غَضِبْتَ لِلَّهِ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ خَافُوكَ عَلَى دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ خِفْتَهُمْ عَلَى دِينِكَ فَامْتَحَنُوكَ بِالْقَلَا وَ نَفَوْكَ إِلَى الْفَلَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ رَتْقاً ثُمَّ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ لَجَعَلَ لَهُ مِنْهُمَا مَخْرَجاً يَا بَا ذَرٍّ لَا يُؤْنِسَنَّكَ إِلَّا الْحَقُّ وَ لَا يُوحِشَنَّكَ إِلَّا الْبَاطِلُ

Aliasws said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! You got angered for the Sake of Allahazwj and the people feared youra upon their world, while youra feared them upon yourra Religion. They tested youra with the disgust and exiled youra to the wilderness. By Allahazwj! If the skies and the earth were to close up on a servant, then he fears Allahazwj, Heazwj would Make a way out to be for him. O Abu Zarrra! Do not let anything comfort youra except the truth, nor terrify you except the falsehood’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ وَدِّعُوا عَمَّكُمْ وَ قَالَ لِعَقِيلٍ وَدِّعْ أَخَاكَ فتكلم عقيل فقال ما عسى أن نقول يا با ذر أنت تعلم أنا نحبك و أنت تحبنا فاتق الله فإن التقوى نجاة و اصبر فإن الصبر كرم و اعلم أن استثقالك الصبر من الجزع و استبطاءك العافية من اليأس فدع اليأس و الجزع

Then heasws said to hisasws companions (and sonsasws): ‘Bid your uncle farewell’, and said to Aqeel: ‘Bid your brotherra farewell’. So, Aqeel spoke and said, ‘Perhaps we should not say, O Abu Zarrra, youra know that we love youra and youra love us, therefore fear Allahazwj, for the piety is a salvation and be patient, for the patience is honourable; and know that the patience will make youra heavy from the panic, and the well-being delays from the despair, so leave the despair and the panic’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ الْحَسَنُ ع فَقَالَ يَا عَمَّاهْ لَوْ لَا أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُوَدِّعِ أَنْ يَسْكُتَ وَ لِلْمُشَيِّعِ أَنْ يَنْصَرِفَ لَقَصُرَ الْكَلَامُ وَ إِنْ طَالَ الْأَسَفُ وَ قَدْ أَتَى الْقَوْمُ إِلَيْكَ مَا تَرَى فَضَعْ عَنْكَ الدُّنْيَا بِتَذَكُّرِ فِرَاقِهَا وَ شِدَّةَ مَا اشْتَدَّ مِنْهَا بِرَجَاءِ مَا بَعْدَهَا وَ اصْبِرْ حَتَّى تَلْقَى نَبِيَّكَ ص وَ هُوَ عَنْكَ رَاضٍ

Then Al-Hassanasws spoke and said: ‘O unclera! Had it not been befitting for the one going away to remain silent and for the escort to leave, the speech would be short and even though the (saying) sorry was prolonged, and the people have come to youra what youra see. Drop the world away from youra by remembering its separation and the difficulties of what is difficult from it, with the happiness of what is after it, and be patient until youra meet yourra Prophetsaww and hesaww is pleased from youra’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع فَقَالَ يَا عَمَّاهْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَادِرٌ أَنْ يُغَيِّرَ مَا قَدْ تَرَى وَ اللَّهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ وَ قَدْ مَنَعَكَ الْقَوْمُ دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ مَنَعْتَهُمْ دِينَكَ فَمَا أَغْنَاكَ عَمَّا مَنَعُوكَ وَ أَحْوَجَهُمْ إِلَى مَا مَنَعْتَهُمْ فَاسْأَلِ اللَّهَ الصَّبْرَ وَ النَّصْرَ وَ اسْتَعِذْ بِهِ‏ مِنَ الْجَشَعِ وَ الْجَزَعِ فَإِنَّ الصَّبْرَ مِنَ الدِّينِ وَ الْكَرَمِ وَ إِنَّ الْجَشَعَ لَا يُقَدِّمُ رِزْقاً وَ الْجَزَعَ لَا يُؤَخِّرُ أَجَلًا

Then Al-Husaynasws spoke and said, ‘O unclera! Allahazwj the Exalted is Able upon changing what youra see. By Allahazwj! Every day Heazwj is in a State of Glory, and the people have prevented youra from their world and youra prevent them from yourra Religion. So, how needless youra are from what they are depriving youra of and how needy they are to what youra are preventing them from. Ask Allahazwj for the patience and seek Assistance with Himazwj from the greed and the panic, for the patience is from the Religion and the honour, and the greed does not bring forward any sustenance and the panic does not delay the death.

ثم تكلم عمار رحمه الله مغضبا فقال لا آنس الله من أوحشك و لا آمن من أخافك أما و الله لو أردت دنياهم لآمنوك و لو رضيت أعمالهم لأحبوك و ما منع الناس أن يقولوا بقولك إلا الرضا بالدنيا و الجزع من الموت و مالوا إلى ما سلطان جماعتهم عليه و الملك لمن غلب فوهبوا لهم دينهم و منحهم القوم دنياهم فخسروا الدنيا و الآخرة أَلا ذلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرانُ الْمُبِينُ‏

Then Ammarra spoke angrily. Hera said, ‘May Allahazwj not Comfort the one who alienated youasws, nor Grant safety to the one who frightened youra. But, by Allahazwj! If youasws had wanted their world, they would have secured youasws, and had youra been pleased of their deeds, they would have loved youra, and what prevents the people from saying with yourra word except the pleasure with the world and the panic from the death? And they are inclining to what the ruling authority has united them upon, and the kingdom is for the one who overcomes. So, gift them their religion and grant the people their world, so they will lose the world and the Hereafter: Indeed! That is the manifest loss’ [39:15]’.

فبكى أبو ذر رحمه الله و كان شيخا كبيرا و قال رحمكم الله يا أهل بيت الرحمة إذا رأيتكم ذكرت بكم رسول الله ص ما لي بالمدينة سكن و لا شجن غيركم إني ثقلت على عثمان بالحجاز كما ثقلت على معاوية بالشام و كره أن أجاور أخاه و ابن خاله بالمصرين فأفسد الناس عليهما فسيرني إلى بلد ليس لي به ناصر و لا دافع إلا الله و الله ما أريد إلا الله صاحبا و ما أخشى مع الله وحشة.

Abu Zarrra cried, and hera was an aged old man, and hera said, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you all, of Peopleasws of the Household of the Mercy. Whenever Ira see youasws Ira remember Rasool-Allahsaww by you. There is no tranquillity for mera at Al-Medina nor sadness apart from you. Ira have been heavy upon Usman at Al-Hijaz just as Ira was heavy upon Muawiya at Syria, and he disliked it that Ira should be in the vicinity of his brother and son of his uncle, the Egyptian. Ira spoilt the people upon them both, so hera exiled mera a place where there isn’t for mera any helper, nor any defender at it except Allahazwj. By Allahazwj! Ira do not want except Allahazwj as a companion, and Ira do not fear loneliness with Allahazwj’.

و رجع القوم إلى المدينة فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى رَدِّ رَسُولِي وَ تَصْغِيرِ أَمْرِي فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَمَّا رَسُولُكَ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَرُدَّ وَجْهِي فَرَدَدْتُهُ وَ أَمَّا أَمْرُكَ فَلَمْ أُصَغِّرْهُ

And the people returned to Al-Medina, and Aliasws came to Usman. He said to himasws, ‘What carried youasws upon turning down my messenger and belittling my order?’ Aliasws said: ‘As for your messenger, he wanted to turn myasws face, so Iasws turned him back, and as for your order, Iasws did not belittle it’.

قَالَ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ نَهْيِي عَنْ كَلَامِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ أَ وَ كُلَّمَا أَمَرْتَ بِأَمْرِ مَعْصِيَةٍ أَطَعْنَاكَ فِيهِ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ أَقِدْ مَرْوَانَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ قَالَ مِمَّ ذَا قَالَ مِنْ شَتْمِهِ وَ جَذْبِ رَاحِلَتِهِ قَالَ أَمَّا الرَّاحِلَةُ فَرَاحِلَتِي بِهَا وَ أَمَّا شَتْمُهُ إِيَّايَ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَا يَشْتِمُنِي شَتْمَةً إِلَّا شَتَمْتُكَ لَا أَكْذِبُ عَلَيْكَ

He said, ‘But, did it not reach you, my forbiddance from speaking to Abu Zarrra?’ Heasws said: ‘Or is it so that every order you order with disobedience (to Allahazwj) Iasws should obey you in it?’ Usman said, ‘Youasws restrained Marwan from yourselfasws’. Heasws said: ‘From what?’ He said, ‘From insulting him and pulling his riding animal’. Heasws said: ‘As for the riding animal, myasws riding animal was with it, and as for myasws insulting him, by Allahazwj, you will not insult measws with an insult except Iasws will insult you. Iasws do not lie to you’.

فَغَضِبَ عُثْمَانُ وَ قَالَ لِمَ لَا يَشْتِمُكَ كَأَنَّكَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِي وَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْكَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَرَجَ

Usman was angered and said, ‘Why should he not insult youasws? It is as if youasws are better than him’. Aliasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, and (better) than you’. Then heasws stood up and went out.

فَأَرْسَلَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى وُجُوهِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ إِلَى بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِمْ عَلِيّاً ع فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ أَنْتَ الْوَالِي عَلَيْهِ وَ إِصْلَاحُهُ أَجْمَلُ قَالَ وَدِدْتُ ذَاكَ فَأَتَوْا عَلِيّاً ع وَ قَالُوا لَوِ اعْتَذَرْتَ إِلَى مَرْوَانَ وَ أَتَيْتَهُ فَقَالَ كَلَّا أَمَّا مَرْوَانُ فَلَا آتِيهِ وَ لَا أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْهِ‏ وَ لَكِنْ إِنْ أَحَبَّ عُثْمَانُ أَتَيْتُهُ

Usman sent a message to the faces of the Emigrants and the Helpers and to the clan of Umayya complaining to them of Aliasws. The people said, ‘You are the ruler upon himasws, and reconciling with himasws is better’. He said, ‘I want that, so bring Aliasws’. And they said, ‘If youasws could say sorry to Marwan and follow him’. Heasws said: ‘Never! As for Marwan, Iasws will neither go to him nor say sorry to him, but if Usman wants, Iasws will go to him’.

فَرَجَعُوا إِلَى عُثْمَانَ فَأَخْبَرُوهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَتَاهُ وَ مَعَهُ بَنُو هَاشِمٍ فَتَكَلَّمَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا مَا وَجَدْتَ‏ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ مِنْ كَلَامِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَ وَدَاعِهِ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَدْتُ مُنَاوَاتَكَ‏ وَ لَا الْخِلَافَ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَرَدْتُ بِهِ قَضَاءَ حَقِّهِ

They returned to Usman and informed him (Usman). He sent a message to himasws, and heasws came to him and the clan of Hashimas were with himasws. Aliasws spoke. Heasws praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘As for what you find upon measws regarding it from speaking to Abu Zarrra and bidding himra farewell, by Allahazwj, Iasws neither intended any misunderstanding nor opposition to you, but Iasws intended by it fulfilling hisra right.

وَ أَمَّا مَرْوَانُ فَإِنَّهُ اعْتَرَضَ يُرِيدُ رَدِّي عَنْ قَضَاءِ حَقِّ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَرَدَدْتُهُ رَدَّ مِثْلِي مِثْلَهُ وَ أَمَّا مَا كَانَ مِنِّي إِلَيْكَ فَإِنَّكَ أَغْضَبْتَنِي فَأَخْرَجَ الْغَضَبُ مِنِّي مَا لَمْ أُرِدْهُ.

And as for Marwan, he objected wanting to return measws from fulfilling a Right of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, so Iasws repelled him similar to myasws being repelled; and as for what was from measws to you, so you angered measws and the anger brought out from measws what Iasws did not want’.

فتكلم عثمان فحمد الله و أثنى عليه ثم قال أما ما كان منك إلي فقد وهبته لك و أما ما كان منك إلى مروان فقد عفا الله عنك و أما ما حلفت عليه فأنت البر الصادق فأدن يدك فأخذ يده فضمها إلى صدره.

Usman spoke. He praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said, ‘As for what was from youasws to me, I have gifted (forgiven) youasws, and as for what was from youasws to Marwan, Allahazwj has Forgiven youasws, and as for what youasws have sworn upon, so youasws are the righteous, the truthful. Bring yourasws hand closer’. He grabbed hisasws hand and pressed it to his chest’.

فلما نهض قالت قريش و بنو أمية لمروان أنت رجل جبهك علي فضرب راحلتك و قد تفانت وائل في ضرع ناقة و ربيان و عبس في لطمة فرس و الأوس و الخزرج في نسعة أ فتحمل لعلي ع ما أتى إليك فقال مروان و الله لو أردت ذلك لما قدرت عليه.

When heasws went, Quraysh and the clan of Umayya said to Marwan, ‘You are a man, Aliasws struck you on the forehead and struck your riding animal, and Wail has devoted regarding the udders of your camel, and the clan of Rabyan, and remaining dispute regarding a mare, and the clans of Al-Aws and Al-Khazraj among a number, so why don’t you attack Aliasws for what has happened to you?’ Marwan said, ‘By Allahazwj! Even if I intend that, I would not be able upon himasws’.

و روى أبو عثمان الجاحظ عن جلام بن جندل الغفاري قال كنت عاملا لمعاوية على قنسرين و العواصم في خلافة عثمان فجئت إليه يوما أسأله عن حال عملي إذ سمعت صارخا على باب داره يقول أتتكم القطار بحمل النار اللهم العن الآمرين بالمعروف التاركين له اللهم العن الناهين عن المنكر المرتكبين له

And it is reported by Abu Usman Al-Jahaz, from Jalam Bin Jandal Al-Ghafari who said, ‘I was an office bearer for Muawiya upon Qasreen and the capitals during the caliphate of Usman. One day I went to him to ask him about the state of my work when I heard a shouter at the door of his house saying, ‘The ride has come to you bearing the fire. O Allahazwj! Curse the rulers who enjoin the goodness (but are) the neglecters of it. O Allahazwj! Curse the forbidders from the evil (but are) the indulgers in it’.

فازبأر معاوية و تغير لونه و قال يا جلام أ تعرف الصارخ فقلت اللهم لا قال مَنْ عَذِيرِي من جندب بن جنادة يأتينا كل يوم فيصرخ على باب قصرنا بما سمعت

Muawiya roared and his colour changes, and he said, ‘O Jalam! Did you recognise the shouter?’ I said, ‘O Allahazwj, no’. He said, ‘Who can excuse me from Jundab Bin Janada (Abu Zarrra)? Hera comes to us every day and shouts at the door of our castle with what you heard’.

ثم قال أدخلوه فجي‏ء بأبي ذر بين قوم يقودونه حتى وقف بين يديه فقال له معاوية يا عدو الله و عدو رسوله تأتينا في كل يوم فتصنع ما تصنع أما إني لو كنت قاتل رجل من أصحاب محمد من غير إذن أمير المؤمنين عثمان لقتلتك و لكني أستأذن فيك

Then he said, ‘Enter him in’. So I came with Abu Zarrra between a group guiding himra until hera stood in front of him. Muawiya said to himra, ‘O enemy of Allahazwj and enemy of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww! Youra come to us every day do what youra just did. If I was a killer of a man from the companions of Muhammadsaww from without permission of the commander of the faithful Usman, I would kill youra, but I shall seek permission regarding youra’.

قال جلام و كنت أحب أن أرى أبا ذر لأنه رجل من قومي فالتفت إليه فإذا رجل أسمر ضرب من الرجال خفيف العارضين في‏ ظهره حناء فأقبل على معاوية و قال ما أنا بعدو لله و لا لرسوله بل أنت و أبوك عدوان لله و لرسوله أظهرتما الإسلام و أبطنتما الكفر و لقد لعنك رسول الله ص و دعا عليك مرات أن لا تشبع‏

Jalam said, ‘And I had loved to see Abu Zarrra because heasws was a man from my people. I turned towards himra, and there was a man as brown as can be from the men, light of display, a bend in hisra back. I faced towards Muawiya and said, ‘I am not with an enemy of Allahazwj nor (an enemy) to Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, but you and your father are enemies of Allahazwj and to Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. Both of you manifest Islam and hid the Kufr, and Rasool-Allahsaww had Cursed you and supplicated against you more than once that you will not be satiated.

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِذَا وَلِيَ الْأُمَّةَ الْأَعْيَنُ الْوَاسِعُ الْبُلْعُومِ الَّذِي يَأْكُلُ وَ لَا يَشْبَعُ فَلْتَأْخُذِ الْأُمَّةُ حِذْرَهَا مِنْهُ.

I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘When the community is ruled by the wide-eyed one who will eat and not be satiated, so let the community takes it caution from him’’.

فقال معاوية ما أنا ذلك الرجل قال أبو ذر بل أنت ذلك الرجل أخبرني بذلك رسول الله ص‏ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَ قَدْ مَرَرْتُ بِهِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُ وَ لَا تُشْبِعْهُ إِلَّا بِالتُّرَابِ. وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‏ أُسَيْتُ‏ مُعَاوِيَةَ فِي النَّارِ.

Muawiya said, ‘I am not that man’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘But you are that man. Rasool-Allahsaww informed me with that, and Ira heard himsaww saying, and had been repeating with it: ‘O Allahazwj! Curse him and do not Let him be satiated except with the dust!’ And Ira heard himsaww saying: ‘Muawiya will be forgotten (forsaken) in the Fire’’.

فضحك معاوية و أمر بحبسه و كتب إلى عثمان فيه فكتب عثمان إلى معاوية أن احمل جنيدبا إلي على أغلظ مركب و أوعره فوجه به من سار به‏ الليل و النهار و حمله على شارف ليس عليها إلا قتب حتى قدم به المدينة

Muawiya laughed and ordered with imprisoning himra and wrote to Usman regarding himra. Usman wrote to Muawiya, ‘Send Jundabra to me upon a harsh ride and rugged. Send with himra ones who with travel with himra night and day, and load himra upon a camel not having anything upon it except its hump until they arrive with himra to Al-Medina’.

و قد سقط لحم فخذيه من الجهد فلما قدم بعث إليه عثمان أن الحق بأي أرض شئت قال بمكة قال لا قال ببيت المقدس قال لا قال بأحد المصرين قال لا قال و لكني مسيرك إلى الربذة فسيره إليها فلم يزل بها حتى مات.

And the flesh (of Abu Zarrra) had fallen off from the exertion. When hera arrived, Usman sent a message to him, ‘Join up with whichever land youra like to’. Hera said, ‘Makkah’. He said, ‘No’. Hera said, ‘Bayt Al-Maqdis’. He said, ‘No’. Hera said, ‘One of the two Egyptian cities’. He said, ‘No, but yourra travel is to Al-Rabza’. So, hera travelled to it and did not cease to be at it until hera died’.

و في رواية أخرى لا أنعم الله بك عينا يا جنيدب فقال أبو ذر أنا جندب و سماني رسول الله ص عبد الله فاخترت اسم رسول الله ص الذي سماني به على اسمي

And in another report, he (Usman said), ‘May Allahazwj not Bless yourra eyes, O Jundab’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira am Jundabra, and Rasool-Allahsaww named me as Abdullah, so Ira chose the name Rasool-Allahsaww which hesaww had named mera with over myra name’.

فقال له عثمان أنت الذي تزعم أنا نقول يد الله مغلولة و أن الله فقير و نحن أغنياء فقال أبو ذر لو كنتم لا تقولون هذا لأنفقتم مال الله على عباده‏ وَ لَكِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِذَا بَلَغَ بَنُو أَبِي الْعَاصِ ثَلَاثِينَ‏ رَجُلًا جَعَلُوا مَالَ اللَّهِ دُوَلًا وَ عِبَادَهُ خَوَلًا.

Usman said to himra, ‘Youra are the one who claims that I am saying that the Hand of Allahazwj is Tied up and that Allahazwj is poor and we are rich’’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘If you are not saying this, then spend the wealth of Allahazwj upon Hisazwj servants. But, Ira testify that Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘When the sons of Abu Al-Aas reach thirty men, they will make the wealth of Allahazwj as their own wealth and the servants of Allahazwj as their own slaves’’.

فقال عثمان لمن حضر أ سمعتموها من رسول الله ص قالوا لا قال عثمان ويلك يا أبا ذر أ تكذب على رسول الله ص فقال أبو ذر لمن حضر ما تدرون‏ أني صدقت قالوا لا و الله ما ندري فقال عثمان ادعوا لي عليا فلما جاء قال عثمان لأبي ذر اقصص عليه حديثك في بني أبي العاص فأعاده‏

Usman said to the ones present, ‘Did you hear it from Rasool-Allahsaww?’ They said, ‘No’. Usman said, ‘Woe be unto youra, O Abu Zarrra! Are youra belying upon Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Abu Zarrra said to the ones present, ‘Do you not know Ira am truthful?’ They said, ‘No by Allahazwj, we do not know’. Usman said, ‘Call Aliasws for me’. When heasws came, Usman said to Abu Zarrra, ‘Relate yourra Hadeeth to himasws regarding the sons of Abu Al-Aas’. Hera repeated it.

فقال عثمان لعلي ع أ سمعت هذا من رسول الله ص قال لا و صدق أبو ذر فقال كيف عرفت صدقه قَالَ لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ وَ لَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ مِنْ ذِي لَهْجَةٍ أَصْدَقَ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فقال من حضر أما هذا فسمعناه كلنا من رسول الله ص.

Usman said to Aliasws, ‘Have youasws heard this from Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘No, but Abu Zarrra speaks the truth’. He said, ‘How do youasws know hera speaks the truth?’ Heasws said: ‘Because Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Neither has the green (sky) shaded nor has the dust (earth) carried one with a tone more truthful than Abu Zarrra’. The ones present said, ‘As for this, all of us have heard it from Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فقال أبو ذر أحدثكم أني سمعت هذا من رسول الله ص فتتهموني ما كنت أظن أني أعيش حتى أسمع هذا من أصحاب محمد ص.

Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira narrated to you all that Ira did hear this from Rasool-Allahsaww, but you accused mera. Ira never though Ira would live until Ira hear this from the companions of Muhammadsaww’.

و في خبر آخر بإسناده عن صهبان مولى الأسلميين قال‏ رأيت أبا ذر يوم دخل به على عثمان فقال له أنت الذي فعلت و فعلت فقال أبو ذر نصحتك فاستغششتني و نصحت صاحبك فاستغشني

And in another Hadeeth, by his chain from Sahban slave of Al-Aslameen, said, ‘I saw Abu Zarrra on the day they came with himra to Usman. He said to himra, ‘Are youra the one who does and does?’ Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira advised you but you debased mera, and Ira advised your companion and he debased mera’.

قال عثمان كذبت و لكنك تريد الفتنة و تحبها قد أنغلت الشام علينا فقال له أبو ذر اتبع سنة صاحبيك لا يكن لأحد عليك كلام فقال عثمان ما لك و ذلك لا أم لك قال أبو ذر ما وجدت لي عذرا إلا الأمر بالمعروف و النهي عن المنكر

Usman said, ‘You are lying! But youra (only) want the Fitna (strife) and youra would love it to overturn Syria upon us’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Follow the way of your two companions, there did not happen to be any speech for anyone one (of them) upon you’. Usman said, ‘What is it to youra and that? There is no mother for youra’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira do not find any excuse for mera except the enjoining with the good and forbidding from the evil’.

فغضب عثمان و قال أشيروا علي في هذا الشيخ الكذاب إما أن أضربه أو أحبسه أو أقتله فإنه قد فرق جماعة المسلمين أو أنفيه من أرض الإسلام

Usman was angered and said, ‘Consult for me regarding this old man, the liar. Either I strike himra, or imprison himra, or kill himra, for hera has divided the community of the Muslims, or I exile himasws from the land of Islam’.

فَتَكَلَّمَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ كَانَ حَاضِراً فَقَالَ أُشِيرُ عَلَيْكَ بِمَا قَالَ مُؤْمِنُ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ‏ وَ إِنْ يَكُ كاذِباً فَعَلَيْهِ كَذِبُهُ وَ إِنْ يَكُ صادِقاً يُصِبْكُمْ بَعْضُ الَّذِي يَعِدُكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لا يَهْدِي مَنْ هُوَ مُسْرِفٌ كَذَّابٌ‏ فأجابه عثمان بجواب غليظ و أجابه علي ع بمثله.

Aliasws spoke, and heasws was present, and heasws said, ‘Iasws consult to you with what the Momin of the people of Pharaohla said: And if he happens to be a liar, then upon him would be his lie, and if he happens to be truthful, some of that which he promises you will afflict you. Surely Allah does not Guide one who is extravagant, a liar. [40:28]’. Usman answered himasws with a harsh answer and Aliasws answered him similar to it’.

قال الواقدي ثم إن عثمان حظر على الناس أن يقاعدوا أبا ذر أو يكلموه‏ فمكث كذلك أياما ثم أتي به فوقف بين يديه فقال أبو ذر ويحك يا عثمان أ ما رأيت رسول الله ص و رأيت أبا بكر و عمر هل هديك كهديهم أما إنك لتبطش بي بطش جبار

Al-Waqidy (Wahabi imam) said, ‘Then Usman banned the people to sit with Abu Zarrra to speak to himra. It remained like that for days. Then they brought himra and paused himra in front of him. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Woe be to you, O Usman! Did you not see Rasool-Allahsaww and saw Abu Bakr and Umar. Is your guidance like their guidance? But you are oppressing like the oppression of a tyrant’.

فقال عثمان اخرج عنا من بلادنا فقال أبو ذر ما أبغض إلي جوارك فإلى أين أخرج قال حيث شئت قال أخرج إلى الشام أرض الجهاد قال إنما جلبتك من الشام لما قد أفسدتها أ فأردّك إليها قال أ فأخرج إلى العراق قال لا إنك إن تخرج إليها تقدم على قوم أولي شبه و طعن على الأئمة و الولاة

Usman said, ‘Get out from our city!’ Abu Zarrra said, ‘How hateful is being in your neighbourhood to measws. Where shall Ira go out to?’ He said, ‘Wherever youra like’. Hera said, ‘Ira shall go out to Syria, the land of Jihad’. He said, ‘But rather I brought youra back from Syria due to what youra have spoilt, would I return youra to it?’ Hera said, ‘Shall Ira go out to Iraq?’ He said, ‘No, if youra were to go out to it, youra will proceed to a people foremost with doubting and accusing upon the leaders and the governors’.

قال أ فأخرج إلى مصر قال لا قال فإلى أين أخرج قال إلى البادية قال أبو ذر أصير بعد الهجرة أعرابيا قال نعم قال أبو ذر فأخرج إلى بادية نجد قال عثمان بل إلى الشرف الأبعد فأقصى‏ امض على وجهك هذا فلا تعدون‏ فخرج إليها.

Hera said, ‘Shall Ira go out to Egypt?’ He said, ‘No’. Hera said, ‘So, where should Ira go out to?’ He said, ‘To Al-Rabza’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Should Ira become a Bedouin after the Emigration?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira shall go out to the valley of Najd’. Usman said, ‘But to the nobility of the furthest outskirts. Go to this direction of yoursra and do not return!’ Hera went to it’.

و روى الواقدي أيضا عن مالك بن أبي الرجا عن موسى بن ميسرة أن أبا الأسود الدؤلي قال كنت أحب لقاء أبي ذر لأسأله عن سبب خروجه إلى الربذة فجئته فقلت له أ لا تخبرني أ خرجت من المدينة طائعا أم أخرجت‏ فقال كنت في ثغر من ثغور المسلمين أغني عنهم فأخرجت إلى المدينة فقلت دار هجرتي فأخرجت من المدينة إلى ما ترى

And it is reported by Al-Waqidy as well, from Malik Bin Abu Al-Raja, from Musa Bin Maysara that Abu Al-Aswad Al-Dowly said, ‘I loved to meet Abu Zarrra to ask himra about the reason for hisra expulsion to Al-Rabza. So, I came to himra and said to himasws, ‘Can youra inform me, did youra come out from Al-Medina willingly or were youra expelled?’ Hera said, ‘Ira was in a border town from the border towns of the Muslims, needless from them, and Ira was expelled to Al-Medina. So Ira said, ‘House of myra emigration’. Then Ira was expelled to what you see’.

ثم قال بينا أنا ذات ليلة نائم في المسجد على عهد رسول الله ص إذ مر بي ص فضربني برجله و قال لا أراك نائما في المسجد فقلت بأبي أنت و أمي غلبتني عيني فنمت فيه قال فكيف تصنع إذا أخرجوك منه قلت آخذ سيفي فأضربهم به

Then hera said, ‘One night, while Ira was asleep in the Masjid in the era of Rasool-Allahsaww, when hesaww passed by mera and nudged mera with hissaww leg and said: ‘Isaww should not see youra sleeping in the Masjid’. Ira said, ‘May myra father and myra mother (be sacrificed) for yousaww! Myra eyes overcame mera, so Ira slept in it’. Hesaww said: ‘So what will youra do when they expel youra from it?’ Ira said, ‘Ira shall take myra sword and strike them with it’.

فقال أ لا أدلك على خير من ذلك انسق معهم حيث ساقوك و تسمع و تطيع فسمعت و أطعت و أنا أسمع و أطيع و الله ليلقين الله عثمان و هو آثم في جنبي‏

Hesaww said: ‘Shall Isaww point youra upon (something) better than that? Go with them wherever they usher youra, and listen and obey’. So Ira listened and obeyed, and Ira more a listener and obedient, by Allahazwj, and he is a sinner in myra side’.

انتهى كلامه و إنما أوردته بطوله لتعلم أن قبائح أعمال عثمان و طغيانه على أبي ذر و غيره متواتر بين الفريقين.

Hera ended hisra speech, and rather I (Majlisi) will refer to it in its length in order to the ugly deeds of Usman to be known, and his tyranny upon Abu Zarrra and others, frequently (reported) between the two sects (Shias and non-Shias)’’.

قال عبد الحميد بن أبي الحديد في شرح نهج البلاغة روى أبو عمرو بن عبد البر في كتاب الإستيعاب‏ لما حضر أبا ذر الوفاة و هو بالربذة بكت زوجته أم ذر قالت فقال لي ما يبكيك فقلت ما لي لا أبكي و أنت تموت بفلاة من الأرض و ليس عندي ثوب يسعك كفنا و لا بد لي من القيام بجهازك

Abdul Hameed Bin Abu Al-Hadeed in commentary of Nahj Al-Balagah – It is reported by Abu Amro Bin Abdul Birr, in the book ‘Al-Istiyaab’ – When the death presented to Abu Zarrra and hera was at Al-Rabza, hisra wife Umm Zarr cried. She said, ‘Hera said to me, ‘What makes you cry?’ I said, ‘Why should I not cry and youra are dying in the wilderness from the earth and there isn’t anything with me youra can be enshrouded with nor is there any escape for me from the standing with preparing youra (for burial)’.

فقال أبشري و لا تبكي فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ لَا يَمُوتُ بَيْنَ امْرَءَيْنِ مُسْلِمَيْنِ وَلَدَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثٌ فَيَصْبِرَانِ وَ يَحْتَسِبَانِ فَيَرَيَانِ النَّارَ أَبَداً و قد مات لنا ثلاثة من الولد

Hera said, ‘Receive good news and do not cry, for Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘There will not die two children or three between two Muslim (parents) and they observe patience in anticipation, and be shown the Fire, ever, and three children of ours have died.

وَ سَمِعْتُ أَيْضاً رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ لِنَفَرٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ لَيَمُوتَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ و ليس من أولئك النفر أحد إلا و قد مات في قرية و جماعة فأنا لا أشك أني ذلك الرجل و الله ما كذبت و لا كذبت فانظري الطريق

And Ira heard as well Rasool-Allahsaww saying to a group, and Ira was among them: ‘One of you would be dying in a wilderness from the earth, a group of the Momineen would attend himra’, and there isn’t anyone else left from that number except and he has died in a town and a community, so Ira have no doubt that Ira am that man. By Allahazwj! Neither did hesaww lie nor am Ira lying, so wait at the road’.

قالت أم ذر فقلت أنى و قد ذهب الحاج و تقطعت الطرق فقال اذهبي فتبصري قالت فكنت أشتد إلى الكثيب فأصعد فأنظر ثم أرجع إليه فأمرضه فبينا أنا و هو على هذه الحال إذا أنا برجال على ركابهم كأنهم الرحم تخب‏ بهم رواحلهم فأسرعوا إلي حتى وقفوا علي و قالوا يا أمة الله ما لك

Umm Zarr said, ‘I said, ‘And the pilgrims have gone and cut across the road!’ Hera said, ‘Go and watch out’. She said, ‘I used to keep going to the dune and ascend and look, then I would return to himra, and hera fell sick. Which I and himra were upon this state when I saw some men upon their rides, as if their rides were feeling the heat. They hastened towards me until they paused to me and said, ‘O maid of Allahazwj! What is the matter with you?’

فقلت امرؤ من المسلمين يموت تكفنونه قالوا و من هو قلت أبو ذر قالوا صاحب رسول الله ص قلت نعم ففدوه بآبائهم و أمهاتهم و أسرعوا إليه حتى دخلوا عليه

I said, ‘A man from the Muslims is dying, can you enshroud him?’ They said, ‘And who is he?’ I said, ‘Abu Zarrra’. They said, ‘Companion of Rasool-Allahsaww?’ I said, ‘Yes’. They spoke of ransoming their fathers and their mothers and hastened to himra until they entered to see himra.

فقال لهم أبشروا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَقُولُ لِنَفَرٍ أَنَا فِيهِمْ لَيَمُوتَنَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْكُمْ بِفَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ تَشْهَدُهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ و ليس من أولئك النفر أحد إلا و قد هلك في قرية و جماعة

Hera said to them, ‘Receive glad tidings, for Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying to a number, mera being among them: ‘A man from you would be dying in wilderness from the earth. A group of Muslims would attend himasws, and there isn’t anyone left from that number except and he has died in a town and among a community.

و الله ما كذبت و لا كذبت و لو كان عندي ثوب يسعني كفنا لي أو لامرأتي لم أكفن إلا في ثوب لي أو لها و إني أنشدكم الله أن يكفنّي رجل منكم كان أميرا أو عريفا أو بريدا أو نقيبا

BY Allahazwj! Neither did hesaww lie not am Ira lying, and if there had been with measws a piece of cloth to fit mera as a shroud for me, or for myra wife, Ira would not enshroud except in a cloth of mine or hers; and Ira adjure you all with Allahazwj that he should enshroud me, a man from you who was an Emir, or a corporal, or a postman, or a captain’.

قالت و ليس في أولئك النفر أحد إلا و قد قارف بعض ما قال إلا فتى من الأنصار قال له أنا أكفنك يا عم في ردائي هذا و ثوبين معي في عيبتي من غزل أمي فقال أبو ذر أنت تكفنني فمات فكفنه الأنصاري و غسله في النفر الذين حضروه و قاموا عليه و دفنوه في نفر كلهم يمان..

She said, ‘And there wasn’t anyone among that number except and he had been separated by what hera said except a youth from the Helpers. He said to himra, ‘I will enshroud youra, O uncle, in my cloak, and there are two clothes with me in my luggage, from (what have been) woven by my mother’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘You will enshroud mera’. Hera passed away, and the Helper enshrouded him and the ones who were present washed himra, and they stood to himra (for Salat), and buried himra, among a number, all of them Yemenis’’.

سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ ع عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ رَجُلٌ وَعَى عِلْماً عَجَزَ عَنْهُ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ أَوْكَأَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يُخْرِجْ شَيْئاً مِنْهُ.

Aliasws was asked about Abu Zarrra, heasws said: ‘That is a man who retained knowledge. The people were frustrated from himra, then they leaned upon himra and could not extract anything from himra’.

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَبُو ذَرٍّ فِي أُمَّتِي شَبِيهُ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ فِي زُهْدِهِ.

And it is reported from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘Abu Zarrra in mysaww community is a resemblance of Isa Ibn Maryamas in hisas ascetism’.

وَ بَعْضُهُمْ يَرْوِيهِ‏ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى تَوَاضُعِ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ.

And one of them reported it, ‘(Hesaww said): ‘One it cheers him to look at the humbleness of Isaas Bin Maryamas, then let him look at Abu Zarrra’.

و عن أبي ذر قال كان قوتي على عهد رسول الله ص صاعا من‏ تمر فلست بزائد عليه حتى ألقى الله.

And from Abu Zarrra having said, ‘What Ira miss from the era of Rasool-Allahsaww is a Sa’a (unit of measurement) of dates, so Ira will not be providing upon it until Ira meet Allahazwj’’.⁴⁹⁶

31- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع‏ أَنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ تَمَعَّكَ فَرَسُهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَحَمْحَمَ فِي تَمَعُّكِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ هِيَ حَسْبُكَ الْآنَ فَقَدِ اسْتُجِيبَ لَكَ

(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy – By his chain,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws forefathersasws: ‘Abu Zarr Al-Ghifaryra, one day hisra horse wallowed and neighed during its wallowing (in the dust). Abu Zarrra said, ‘It suffice you now for it has been Answered for you’.

فَاسْتَرْجَعَ الْقَوْمُ وَ قَالُوا خُولِطَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ لِلْقَوْمِ مَا لَكُمْ قَالُوا تُكَلِّمُ بَهِيمَةً مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ إِذَا تَمَعَّكَ الْفَرَسُ دَعَا بِدَعْوَتَيْنِ فَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَحَبَّ مَالِهِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الدَّعْوَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِي الشَّهَادَةَ وَ دَعْوَتَاهُ مُسْتَجَابَتَانِ‏.

The people said, ‘We are for Allahazwj and are returning to Himazwj’, and they said, ‘Abu Zarrra is confused’. Hera said to the people, ‘What is the matter with you?’ They said, ‘Youra are speaking to an animal from the animals’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Whenever the horse wallows, it is supplication with two supplications, and it is Answered for it. It is saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Make me to be the most beloved of his wealth to him’, and the second supplication is, ‘O Allahazwj! Grace him the martyrdom upon my back’, and both is supplications are Answered’’.⁴⁹⁷

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – My father, from Ibn Al Waleed, and Ibn Masrour altogether from Ibn Aamir, from his uncle, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Murazim Bin Hukeym,

‘From Abu Baseer who said, ‘Abu Abdullahasws said to a man from hisasws companion, ‘Shall Iasws inform you how was the cause of the Islam of Salmanra and Abu Zarrra?’ The man said and erred, ‘As for Islam of Salmanra, I know, so inform me how was the cause of the Islam of Abu Zarrra’.

Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘Abu Zarrra was in the middle of a pasture tending hisra sheep when a wolf came from the right of hisra flock. So, Abu Zarrra scared it away with hisra stick. Then the wolf came from the right of hisra flock, and Abu Zarrra scared it away with hisra stick, then said, ‘By Allahazwj! Ira have not seen any wolf more wicked than you, nor eviler’.

فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ شَرٌّ وَ اللَّهِ مِنِّي أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِمْ نَبِيّاً فَكَذَّبُوهُ وَ شَتَمُوهُ فَوَقَعَ كَلَامُ الذِّئْبِ فِي أُذُنِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ لِأُخْتِهِ‏ هَلُمِّي مِزْوَدِي وَ إِدَاوَتِي وَ عَصَايَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَرْكُضُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ مَكَّةَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحَلْقَةٍ مُجْتَمِعِينَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا هُمْ يَشْتِمُونَ النَّبِيَّ ص وَ يَسُبُّونَهُ كَمَا قَالَ الذِّئْبُ

The wolf said, ‘By Allahazwj! Eviler than me are the people of Makkah, Allahazwj Sent a Prophetsaww to them, buy they belied himsaww and reviled himsaww’. The speech of the wolf fell into the ears of Abu Zarrra and hera said to hisra sister (wife), ‘Give mera my provisions and myra tools and mysaww staff’. Then hera went out running until hera entered Makkah, and there hera was by a circle of gathering. Hera sat to them, and they were reviling the Prophetsaww and insulting himsaww, just as the wolf had said.

فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَخْبَرَنِي بِهِ الذِّئْبُ فَمَا زَالَتْ هَذِهِ حَالَتَهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ النَّهَارِ وَ أَقْبَلَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ كُفُّوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ عَمُّهُ فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُمْ أَكْرَمُوهُ وَ عَظَّمُوهُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ أَبُو طَالِبٍ مُتَكَلِّمَهُمْ وَ خَطِيبَهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ تَفَرَّقُوا

Abu Zarrra said, ‘By Allahazwj! This is what the wolf had informed mera with. This did not cease to be their state until when it was the end of the day, and Abu Talibas came and they said to each other, ‘Refrain, for hissaww uncleas has come. When heas near to them, they honoured himas and magnified himas, and Abu Talibas did not cease to speak to them and addressing them until they dispersed.

فَلَمَّا قَامَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ تَبِعْتُهُ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ‏ مَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ

When Abu Talibas stood up, Ira followed himas. Heas turned towards mera and said: ‘What is yourra need?’ Ira said, ‘This Prophetsaww, the one Sent among you all’. Heas said: ‘And what is yourra need to himsaww?’ Abu Zarrra said to himas: ‘Ira believe in himsaww and ratify himsaww and hesaww will not order mera with anything except Ira will obey himsaww’.

Abu Talibas said: ‘Do youra testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj Rasoolsaww?’ Ira said, ‘Yes, Ira do testify that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَ غَداً فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ فَأْتِنِي

Hera said, ‘Heas said: ‘When it is tomorrow morning, at this time, then come to meas’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ جَاءَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَإِذَا الْحَلْقَةُ مُجْتَمِعُونَ وَ إِذَا هُمْ يَسُبُّونَ النَّبِيَّ ص وَ يَشْتِمُونَهُ كَمَا قَالَ الذِّئْبُ فَجَلَسَ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى أَقْبَلَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ كُفُّوا فَقَدْ جَاءَ عَمُّهُ فَكَفُّوا فَجَاءَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَجَلَسَ فَمَا زَالَ مُتَكَلِّمَهُمْ وَ خَطِيبَهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ قَامَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ تَبِعَهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ

Heasws said: ‘When it was the next morning Abu Zarrra came and there was the circle having gathered and there they were reviling himsaww and insulting himsaww, just as the wolf had said. Hera sat with them until Abu Talibas came, and they said to each other, ‘Refrain, for hissaww uncleas has come’. They stopped, and Abu Talibas came and sat. Heas did not cease speaking to them and addressing them until heas stood. When heas stood up, Abu Zarrra followed himas.

فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ أَبُو طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقَالَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ الْمَبْعُوثُ فِيكُمْ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ أُصَدِّقُهُ وَ لَا يَأْمُرُنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَطَعْتُهُ

Abu Talibas turned around to himra and said: ‘What is yourra need?’ Hera said, ‘This Prophetsaww, the one Sent among you all’. Heas said: ‘And what is yourra need to himsaww?’ Hera said to himas, ‘Ira believe in himsaww and ratify himsaww, and hesaww will not order mera with anything except Ira will obey himsaww’.

Al-Kafi – Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Salama Al Lului, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, similar to it up to hisra words, ‘Give mera myra provision, and my tools, and myra staff, then hera went upon hisra intending Makkah, in order to know the (truthfulness) of the news of the wolf and what it had come with. Hera walked until hera reached Makkah, and entered it during a time of heat, and hera was tired and exhausted, so hera came to Zamzam and was thirsty. Hera scooped out a bucket, and milk came out to himra.

فَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ يَدُلُّنِي عَلَى أَنَّ مَا خَبَّرَنِي بِهِ الذِّئْبُ وَ مَا جِئْتُ لَهُ حَقٌّ فَشَرِبَ وَ جَاءَ إِلَى جَانِبٍ مِنْ جَوَانِبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا حَلْقَةٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَرَآهُمْ يَشْتِمُونَ النَّبِيَّ ص كَمَا قَالَ الذِّئْبُ‏.

Hera said within himselfasws, ‘By Allahazwj! This evidences mera upon that whatever the wolf had informed mera with and Ira have come to is true’, and hera came to a side from the sides of the Masjid, and over there was a circle (of gathering) of Quraysh. Hera sat to them and saw them insulting the Prophetsaww just as the wolf had said’’.⁴⁹⁸

(The books) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ (and) ‘Illal Al Sharaie’ – Al Sinani, and al Qattan, and Al Mukattib, and Warraq, and Al Daqqaq altogether from Ibn Zakariya, from Ibn Habeeb, from Ibn Bahlool, from his father, from Abu Al Hassan Al Abdy, from Suleyman Bin Mihran, from Saeed bin Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘One day the Prophetsaww was in Masjid Quba and in hissaww presence were a number of hissaww companions. Hesaww said: ‘The first one to entered to you all this moment is a man from the people of the Paradise’. When they heard that, a number of them stood up and went out, and each one of them loved to return for him to become the first one to enter, and the Paradise to be Obligated.

فَعَلِمَ النَّبِيُّ ص ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لِمَنْ بَقِيَ عِنْدَهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ سَيَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ يَسْتَبِقُونِي فَمَنْ بَشَّرَنِي بِخُرُوجِ آزَارَ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ

The Prophetsaww knew that from them, and hesaww said to the ones from hissaww companions who had remained with himsaww: ‘A group would be entered to you all racing towards mesaww, so the one who give mesaww the glad tidings of the emergence of ‘Azar’, the Paradise would be for him’.

فَعَادَ الْقَوْمُ وَ دَخَلُوا وَ مَعَهُمْ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ فِي أَيِّ شَهْرٍ نَحْنُ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ الرُّومِيَّةِ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَدْ خَرَجَ آزَارُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

The group returned and entered and Abu Zarrra was with them. Hesaww said to them: ‘In which month are we, from the Roman months?’ Abu Zarrra said, ‘’Azar’ (March) O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

فَقَالَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ ذَلِكَ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ وَ لَكِنْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ قَوْمِي أَنَّكَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ كَيْفَ لَا تَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَطْرُودُ عَنْ حَرَمِي بَعْدِي لِمَحَبَّتِكَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَتَعِيشُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تَمُوتُ وَحْدَكَ وَ يَسْعَدُ بِكَ قَوْمٌ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ تَجْهِيزَكَ وَ دَفْنَكَ أُولَئِكَ رُفَقَائِي فِي جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ الَّتِي وُعِدَ الْمُتَّقُونَ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘Isaww do not know O Abu Zarrra, but Isaww loved it for mysaww people to know that youra are a man from the (inhabitants of) Paradise, and how that youra not happen to be like that and youra will be expelled from mysaww Sanctuary after mesaww due to yourra love for mysaww family, so youra will be living alone, and dying alone, and a group would be fortunate with youra being in charge of yourra funeral preparations, they are mysaww friends in the Paradise: the eternal Garden which is Promised for the pious [25:15]’’.⁴⁹⁹

Ira testify upon Rasool-Allahsaww, Ira heard himsaww and hesaww said: ‘Aliasws is the first one to believe in mesaww, and the first one to ratify mesaww, and the first one to be shaking mysaww hand on the Day of Qiyamah, and heasws if the greatest truthful (Siddique Al-Akbar), and heasws is the Differentiator (Farouq) of this community, differentiating between the Truth and the falsehood, and heasws is the leader (Yasoob) of the Momineen, and the wealth is the leader (Yasoob) of the hypocrites’’.

‘I went to Al-Rabza seeking Abu Zarrra. A woman said to me, ‘Hera has gone to work’. Then Abu Zarrra came guiding two camels close together, one tied to the tail of the other, a water container hanging in the neck of each one of them.

قَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَدَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ وَ كَلَّمَ امْرَأَتَهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَقَالَ أ و [أُفٍ‏] مَا تَزِيدِينَ عَلَى مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّمَا الْمَرْأَةُ كَالضِّلْعِ إِنْ أَقَمْتَهَا كَسَرْتَهَا وَ فِيهَا بُلْغَةٌ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I stood up and greeted to himra, then I sat down. Hera went to hisra house and spoke to hisra wife with something. Hera said, ‘Uff! Do not increase upon what Rasool-Allahsaww has said. But rather the woman is like the rib. If you (try to) straighten it, it would break, and in it is eloquence’.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِصَحْفَةٍ فِيهَا مِثْلُ الْقَطَاةِ فَقَالَ كُلْ فَإِنِّي صَائِمٌ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَأَكَلَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنْ يَكْذِبَنِي مِنَ النَّاسِ فَلَمْ أَظُنَّ أَنَّكَ تَكْذِبُنِي قَالَ وَ مَا ذَاكَ قُلْتُ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ لِي أَنَا صَائِمٌ ثُمَّ جِئْتَ فَأَكَلْتَ قَالَ وَ أَنَا الْآنَ أَقُولُهُ إِنِّي صُمْتُ مِنْ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ ثَلَاثاً فَوَجَبَ لِي صَوْمُهُ وَ حَلَّ لِي فِطْرُهُ‏.

Then hera came with a tray in which was a (cooked) grouse, and hera said, ‘Eat, for Ira am Fasting’. Then hera stood and prayed two Cycles Salat, then came and ate. I said, ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! What I thought was that someone from the people might lie to me, but I did not think that youra would lie to me’. Hera said, ‘And what is that?’ I said, ‘Youra said to me, ‘Ira am Fasting’, then youra came and ate’. Hera said, ‘And Ira am now saying it. Ira Fasted three (days) from this month. Fasting it was Obligated to mera and it is Permissible for mera to break it’’.⁵⁰¹

Tafseer Al-Qummi - And when We Took your Covenant: You will not be shedding your blood nor will you be expelling your people out from their houses. Then you accepted and you were testifying. [2:84] – the Verse. It was Revealed regarding Abu Zarrra and Usman Bin Affan, and the reason for that is when Usman ordered with the exiling of Abu Zarrra to Al-Rabza, Abu Zarrra came to him and hera was sick, reclining upon hisra staff, and in front of Usman were one hundred thousand Dirhams which had been carried to him from one of the regions, and his companions were around him looking at him and coveting its apportionment among them.

فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ لِعُثْمَانَ مَا هَذَا الْمَالُ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ حُمِلَتْ إِلَيَّ مِنْ بَعْضِ النَّوَاحِي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَضُمَّ إِلَيْهَا مِثْلَهَا ثُمَّ أَرَى فِيهَا رَأْيِي فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا عُثْمَانُ أَيُّمَا أَكْثَرُ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ أَوْ أَرْبَعَةُ دَنَانِيرَ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ بَلْ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ

Abu Zarrra said to Usman, ‘What is this wealth?’ Usman said, ‘One hundred thousand Dirhams brought to me from one of the regions. I want to join similar to it, then I shall opine and opinion regarding it’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘O Usman! But rather, are on hundred thousand Dirhams more or four Dinars?’ Usman said, ‘But one hundred thousand Dirhams’.

فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَذْكُرُ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ وَ قَدْ دَخَلْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَشِيّاً فَرَأَيْنَاهُ كَئِيباً حَزِيناً فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْنَا السَّلَامَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا أَتَيْنَاهُ فَرَأَيْنَاهُ ضَاحِكاً مُسْتَبْشِراً فَقُلْنَا لَهُ بِآبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْبَارِحَةَ فَرَأَيْنَاكَ كَئِيباً حَزِيناً وَ عُدْنَا إِلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ فَرَأَيْنَاكَ فَرِحاً مُسْتَبْشِراً

Hera said, ‘But, do you remember Ira and you, we hand gone to Rasool-Allahsaww one evening and we saw himsaww gloomy, grieving. We greeted unto himsaww but hesaww did not return the greeting unto us. So when it was morning, we came to himsaww and saw him laughing, cheerful, so we said to himsaww, ‘May our fathers and our mother (be sacrificed for yousaww)! We came to you yesterday and saw you gloomy, grieving, and we returned to yousaww today, and we see yousaww happy, cheerful’.

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كَانَ قَدْ بَقِيَ عِنْدِي مِنْ فَيْ‏ءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَرْبَعَةُ دَنَانِيرَ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَسَمْتُهَا وَ خِفْتُ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي الْمَوْتُ وَ هِيَ عِنْدِي وَ قَدْ قَسَمْتُهَا الْيَوْمَ فَاسْتَرَحْتُ مِنْهَا

Hesaww said: ‘Yes, there had remained with mesaww the booty of the Muslims, four Dinars Isaww could not distribute it and Isaww feared that the death might come across mesaww and these would still be with mesaww, and today Isaww distributed it, so Isaww am at rest from it’’.

فَنَظَرَ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى كَعْبِ الْأَحْبَارِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ أَدَّى زَكَاةَ مَالِهِ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ هَلْ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ فِيمَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فِيهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ لَا وَ لَوِ اتَّخَذَ لَبِنَةً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَ لَبِنَةً مِنْ فِضَّةٍ مَا وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ

Usman looked Al-Ka’ab Al-Ahbar and said to him, ‘O Abu Is’haq! What are you saying regarding a man who gives the Obligatory Zakat of his wealth, would anything still be upon him regarding what is Obligatory?’ He said, ‘No, and even if he were to take a brick of gold and a brick of silver, nothing would be Obligatory upon him’.

فَرَفَعَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ عَصَاهُ فَضَرَبَ بِهِ رَأْسَ كَعْبٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ الْيَهُودِيَّةِ الْكَافِرَةِ مَا أَنْتَ‏ وَ النَّظَرَ فِي أَحْكَامِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ أَصْدَقُ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ حَيْثُ قَالَ‏ الَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَ الْفِضَّةَ وَ لا يُنْفِقُونَها فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَبَشِّرْهُمْ بِعَذابٍ أَلِيمٍ يَوْمَ يُحْمى‏ عَلَيْها فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ فَتُكْوى‏ بِها جِباهُهُمْ وَ جُنُوبُهُمْ وَ ظُهُورُهُمْ هذا ما كَنَزْتُمْ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَذُوقُوا ما كُنْتُمْ تَكْنِزُونَ‏

Abu Zarrra raised hisra stick and hit the head of Ka’ab with it, then said to him, ‘O son of a Jewess, the Kafir! What are you and the considering in the rulings of the Muslims. The Words of Allahazwj are more truthful than your words where Heazwj Says: and those who are hoarding the gold and the silver and are not spending it in the Way of Allah, announce to them a painful Punishment [9:34] On the Day when these shall be heated in the Fire of Hell, then their foreheads and their sides and their backs shall be branded with it: “This is what you hoarded for yourselves, therefore taste what you were hoarding!” [9:35]’.

فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّكَ شَيْخٌ خَرِفْتَ وَ ذَهَبَ عَقْلُكَ وَ لَوْ لَا صُحْبَتُكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَقَتَلْتُكَ فَقَالَ كَذَبْتَ يَا عُثْمَانُ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَا يَفْتِنُونَكَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ لَا يَقْتُلُونَكَ

Usman said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Youra are a senile old man and your mind has gone, and had it not been for yourra companionship for Rasool-Allahsaww, I would kill youra’. Hera said, ‘You are lying, O Usman! Myra beloved Rasool-Allahsaww informed mera saying: ‘Neither will youra be tempted nor will youra be killed’. And as for myra intellect, so there has remained from it what Ira have memorised a Hadeeth Ira heard from Rasool-Allahsaww regarding you and regarding your people’. He said, ‘And what have youra heard from Rasool-Allahsaww regarding me and regarding my people?’

وَ أَمَّا عَقْلِي فَقَدْ بَقِيَ مِنْهُ مَا أَحْفَظُ حَدِيثاً سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِيكَ وَ فِي قَوْمِكَ قَالَ وَ مَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِيَّ وَ فِي قَوْمِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ ص إِذَا بَلَغَ آلُ أَبِي الْعَاصِ ثَلَاثِينَ رَجُلًا صَيَّرُوا مَالَ اللَّهِ دُوَلًا وَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ دَغَلًا وَ عِبَادَهُ خَوَلًا وَ الْفَاسِقِينَ حِزْباً وَ الصَّالِحِينَ حَرْباً

And as for myra intellect, so there has remained from it what Ira have memorised a Hadeeth Ira heard from Rasool-Allahsaww regarding you and regarding your people’. He said, ‘And what have youra heard from Rasool-Allahsaww regarding me and regarding my people?’ Hera said, ‘Ira heard himsaww saying: ‘When the family of Abu Al-Aas reach thirty men, the wealth of Allahazwj would become as personal wealth, and the Book of Allahazwj for income, and Hisazwj servants as slaves, and mischief-makers would be a party and the righteous ones would flee’.

فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ يَا مَعْشَرَ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ هَلْ سَمِعَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالُوا لَا مَا سَمِعْنَا هَذَا فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ ادْعُ‏ عَلِيّاً فَجَاءَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ انْظُرْ مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ الْكَذَّابُ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَهْ يَا عُثْمَانُ لَا تَقُلْ كَذَّابٌ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَا أَظَلَّتِ الْخَضْرَاءُ وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْغَبْرَاءُ عَلَى ذِي لَهْجَةٍ أَصْدَقَ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ

Usman said, ‘O community of companions of Muhammadsaww! Has anyone of you heard this from Rasool-Allahsaww?’ They said, ‘No, we have not heard this’. Usman said, ‘Call Aliasws’. So, Amir Al-Momineenasws came. Usman said to himasws, ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Look at what this old man, the liar, is saying’. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Shh, O Usman! Do not say ‘liar’, for Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Neither has the green (sky) shaded upon nor has the dust (earth) carried anyone with a tone more truthful than that of Abu Zarrra’.

فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص صَدَقَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَقَدْ سَمِعْنَا هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَبَكَى أَبُو ذَرٍّ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكُمْ كُلُّكُمْ قَدْ مَدَّ عُنُقَهُ‏ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَالِ ظَنَنْتُمْ أَنِّي أَكْذِبُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ مَنْ خَيْرُكُمْ فَقَالَ‏ أَنْتَ تَقُولُ أَنَّكَ خَيْرُنَا قَالَ نَعَمْ خَلَّفْتُ حَبِيبِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي هَذِهِ الْجُبَّةِ وَ هِيَ عَلَيَّ بَعْدُ وَ أَنْتُمْ قَدْ أَحْدَثْتُمْ أَحْدَاثاً كَثِيرَةً- وَ اللَّهُ سَائِلُكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا يَسْأَلُنِي

The companions of Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Aliasws speaks the truth, for we have heard this from Rasool-Allahsaww’. Abu Zarrra cried during that and said, ‘Woe be unto you! You had all extended your necks to this wealth. You thought Ira lied upon Rasool-Allahsaww’. Then hera looked at them and said: ‘Who is your best one?’ He (they) said, ‘Youra are saying that youra are our best one’. Hera said, ‘Yes, Ira left mysaww beloved Rasool-Allahsaww in this robe, and it is (still) upon mera afterwards, and you have innovated a lot of innovations, and Allahazwj will Question you all about that and will not be Questioning mera’.

فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَّا مَا أَخْبَرْتَنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ تَسْأَلْنِي‏ بِحَقِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَيْضاً لَأَخْبَرْتُكَ

Usman said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! I ask you by the right of Rasool-Allahsaww, will youra not inform me about something I ask youra about?’ Abu Zarrra said, ‘By Allahazwj! Even if you don’t ask mera by the right of Rasool-Allahsaww as well, Ira will still inform you’.

فَقَالَ أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهَا فَقَالَ مَكَّةُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَمُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنِي الْمَوْتُ فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ لَكَ فَقَالَ الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ لَكَ

He said, ‘Which city is most beloved to youra for youra to be in it?’ Hera said, ‘Makkah, Sanctuary of Allahazwj and Sanctuary of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, Ira can worship Allahazwj in it until the death comes to mera’. He said, ‘No, and there will be no such prestige for youra’. Hera said, ‘Al-Medina, sanctuary of Rasool-Allahsaww’. He said, ‘No, and there will be no such prestige for youra’.

قَالَ فَسَكَتَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهَا قَالَ الرَّبَذَةُ الَّتِي كُنْتُ فِيهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ دِينِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ سِرْ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَدْ سَأَلْتَنِي فَصَدَقْتُكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَاصْدُقْنِي قَالَ نَعَمْ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Zarrra was silent. Usman said, ‘Which city is the most hateful to youra that youra be in it?’ Hera said, ‘Al-Rabza which Ira used to be in upon other than the Religion of Islam’. Usman said, ‘Travel to it’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘You asked mera and Ira have been truthful to you, and Ira ask you, so be truthful to mera’. He said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي لَوْ بَعَثْتَنِي فِي بَعْثٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ إِلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَأَسَرُونِي فَقَالُوا لَا نَفْدِيهِ إِلَّا بِثُلُثِ مَا تَمْلِكُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَفْدِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَا نَفْدِيهِ إِلَّا بِنِصْفِ مَا تَمْلِكُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَفْدِيكَ قَالَ فَإِنْ قَالُوا لَا نَفْدِيهِ إِلَّا بِكُلِّ مَا تَمْلِكُ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَفْدِيكَ

Hera said, ‘Inform mera, if you were to send mera in a sending from your companions to the Polytheists and they capture mera, and they say., ‘We will not ransom himra except with a third of what you own’. He said, ‘I would pay yourra ransom’. Hera said, ‘Supposing they say, ‘We will not ransom himra except with half of what you own’?’ He said, ‘I would pay yourra ransom’. Hera said, ‘Supposing they said, ‘We will not ransom himra except with all of what you own’?’ He said, ‘I will pay yourra ransom’.

قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ لِي حَبِيبِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَوْماً يَا بَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكَ أَيُّ الْبِلَادِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهَا فَتَقُولُ مَكَّةُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَمُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ فِيهَا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَنِي الْمَوْتُ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ لَا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ لَكَ فَتَقُولُ الْمَدِينَةُ حَرَمُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ لَا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ لَكَ

Abu Zarrra said, ‘Allahazwj is the Greatest! Myra beloved Rasool-Allahsaww said to mera one day: ‘O Abu Zarrra! How will youra react when it is said to youra, ‘Which city is most beloved to youra for youra to be in it?’, and youra will say, ‘Makkah, Sanctuary of Allahazwj and Sanctuary of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, Ira will worship Allahazwj in it until the death comes mera’. And it will be said to youra, ‘No, and there will be no such prestige for youra’. So youra will say, ‘Al Medina sanctuary of Rasool-Allahsaww’. It would be said to youra, ‘No, and there will be no such prestige for youra’.

ثُمَّ يُقَالُ لَكَ فَأَيُّ الْبِلَادِ أَبْغَضُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ فِيهَا فَتَقُولُ الرَّبَذَةُ الَّتِي كُنْتُ فِيهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ دِينِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَيُقَالُ لَكَ سِرْ إِلَيْهَا فَقُلْتُ وَ إِنَّ هَذَا لَكَائِنٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِي وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَكَائِنٌ

Then it would be said to youra, ‘So which city is the most hateful for youra to be in it?’ Youra will say, ‘Al Rabza, which Ira used to be in upon other than the Religion of Islam’. It would be said to youra, ‘Travel to it’. Ira said, ‘And this will be transpiring, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, by the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul, it will be transpiring’.

فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ فَلَا أَضَعُ سَيْفِي هَذَا عَلَى عَاتِقِي فَأَضْرِبَ بِهِ قُدُماً قُدُماً قَالَ لَا اسْمَعْ وَ اسْكُتْ وَ لَوْ لِعَبْدٍ حَبَشِيٍّ وَ قَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِيكَ وَ فِي عُثْمَانَ آيَةً فَقُلْتُ وَ مَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! So, should Ira place this sword of minera upon myra shoulder and strike with it, going ahead, ahead?’ Hesaww said: ‘No. Listen and be silent, and even to an Ethiopian slave, and Allahazwj has Revealed a Verse regarding you and regarding Usman’. Ira said, ‘And what is it, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’

فَقَالَ قَوْلُهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى‏ وَ إِذْ أَخَذْنا مِيثاقَكُمْ لا تَسْفِكُونَ دِماءَكُمْ وَ لا تُخْرِجُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ ثُمَّ أَقْرَرْتُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ تَشْهَدُونَ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ هؤُلاءِ تَقْتُلُونَ أَنْفُسَكُمْ وَ تُخْرِجُونَ فَرِيقاً مِنْكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِهِمْ تَظاهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْإِثْمِ وَ الْعُدْوانِ وَ إِنْ يَأْتُوكُمْ أُسارى‏ تُفادُوهُمْ وَ هُوَ مُحَرَّمٌ عَلَيْكُمْ إِخْراجُهُمْ أَ فَتُؤْمِنُونَ بِبَعْضِ الْكِتابِ وَ تَكْفُرُونَ بِبَعْضٍ فَما جَزاءُ مَنْ يَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَّا خِزْيٌ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ يُرَدُّونَ إِلى‏ أَشَدِّ الْعَذابِ وَ مَا اللَّهُ بِغافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ.

Hesaww said: ‘The Words of the Blessed and Exalted: And when We Took your Covenant: You will not be shedding your blood nor will you be expelling your people out from their houses. Then you accepted and you were testifying. [2:84] Then you are those who are killing yourselves, and are expelling a group of yours from their houses, backing each other against them with the sins and the aggression. And if they are coming to you as captives, you are ransoming them, and it was Prohibited upon you, their expulsion. Are you believing in part of the Book and disbelieving in a part (of it)? So what is a Recompense of the one from you who does that except disgrace in the life of the world? And on the Day of Judgment he would be Driven to the severe Punishment; and Allah is not heedless from what you are doing. [2:85]’’.⁵⁰²

37- فس، تفسير القمي‏ كَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ‏ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ جَمَلَهُ كَانَ أَعْجَفَ فَلَحِقَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَ وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ جَمَلُهُ فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَتَرَكَهُ وَ حَمَلَ ثِيَابَهُ عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ

Tafseer Al-Qummi – Abu Zarrra had stayed behind from Rasool-Allahazwj in the military expedition of Tabuk for three days, and that is because his camel was scrawny and hera joined up after three days, and hisra camel stopped in one of the roads, so hera left it and carried hisra clothes upon hisra back.

فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ نَظَرَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى شَخْصٍ مُقْبِلٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَأَنَ‏ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَقَالُوا هُوَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَدْرِكُوهُ بِالْمَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ عَطْشَانُ فَأَدْرَكُوهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَ وَافَى أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَعَهُ إِدَاوَةٌ فِيهَا مَاءٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا بَا ذَرٍّ مَعَكَ مَاءٌ وَ عَطِشْتَ

When the day rose, the Muslims looked at a person coming. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘It is as if (it is) Abu Zarrra’. They said, ‘It is Abu Zarrra’. Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Receive himra with the water for hera is thirsty’. They received himra with the water, and Abu Zarrra arrived to Rasool-Allahsaww and with him was a container wherein was water. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abu Zarrra, there is water with youra and youra are thirsty?’

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى صَخْرَةٍ وَ عَلَيْهَا مَاءُ السَّمَاءِ فَذُقْتُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَذْبٌ بَارِدٌ فَقُلْتُ لَا أَشْرَبُهُ حَتَّى يَشْرَبَهُ حَبِيبِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

Hera said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! May myra father and myra mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Ira ended up to a rock and there was rain water upon it. Ira tasted it, and it was fresh, cool. Ira said, ‘Ira will not drink it until myra beloved Rasool-Allahsaww drinks it’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ تَعِيشُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تَمُوتُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تُبْعَثُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَحْدَكَ يَسْعَدُ بِكَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ غُسْلَكَ وَ تَجْهِيزَكَ وَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْكَ وَ دَفْنَكَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! May Allahazwj have Mercy on youra! Youra will live alone, and die alone, and be Resurrected alone, and enter the Paradise alone. A group from the people of Al-Iraq would be fortunate with youra by being in charge of yourra washing, and preparing youra (for funeral), and the Salat upon youra, and yourra burial’.

فَلَمَّا سَيَّرَ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ إِلَى الرَّبَذَةِ فَمَاتَ بِهَا ابْنُهُ ذَرٌّ وَقَفَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ فَقَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ يَا ذَرُّ لَقَدْ كُنْتَ كَرِيمَ الْخُلُقِ بَارّاً بِالْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ مَا عَلَيَّ فِي مَوْتِكَ مِنْ غَضَاضَةٍ وَ مَا لِي إِلَى غَيْرِ اللَّهِ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَ قَدْ شَغَلَنِي الِاهْتِمَامُ لَكَ عَنِ الِاغْتِمَامِ بِكَ وَ لَوْ لَا هَوْلُ الْمُطَّلَعِ لَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَكُونَ مَكَانَكَ فَلَيْتَ شِعْرِي مَا قَالُوا لَكَ وَ مَا قُلْتَ لَهُمْ

When Usman made himra travel to Al-Rabza, hisra son Zarr died at it. Hera stood upon his grave and said, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you, O Zarr! You have been of honourable manners, being righteous with the parents, and there is no shortcoming upon mera regarding your death, and there is no need for mera to anyone other than Allahazwj. Concern for you has pre-occupied mera from being gloomy with you, and had it not been for the emerging horror Ira would love to be in your place, for Ira am not aware of what they will say to you and what you will say to them’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ فَرَضْتَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ حُقُوقاً وَ فَرَضْتَ لِي عَلَيْهِ‏ حُقُوقاً فَإِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ لَهُ مَا فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُقُوقِي فَهَبْ لَهُ مَا فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حُقُوقِكَ فَإِنَّكَ أَوْلَى بِالْحَقِّ وَ أَكْرَمُ‏ مِنِّي

Then hera said: ‘O Allahazwj! Youazwj Have Obligated rights for Youazwj upon him and Obligated rights for mera upon him, Ira hereby gift to Youazwj whatever Youazwj have Obligated upon him of myra rights, so gift to him whatever Youazwj have Obligated upon him of Yourazwj rights, for Youazwj are foremost with the right and are more benevolent than Ira am’.

وَ كَانَتْ لِأَبِي ذَرٍّ غُنَيْمَاتٌ يَعِيشُ هُوَ وَ عِيَالُهُ مِنْهَا فَأَصَابَهَا دَاءٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا النِّقَابُ‏ فَمَاتَتْ كُلُّهَا فَأَصَابَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ ابْنَتَهُ الْجُوعُ وَ مَاتَتْ أَهْلُهُ فَقَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ أَصَابَنَا الْجُوعُ وَ بَقِينَا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَمْ نَأْكُلْ شَيْئاً

And there were sheep for Abu Zarrra hera and hisra dependants used to live from. These were afflicted with a disease called Al-Niqab and they died, all of them. So, Abu Zarrra and hisra daughter were hit by the hunger and hisra wife died. Hisra daughter said, ‘Hunger has afflicted us and we have remained for three days not eating anything’.

فَقَالَ لِي أَبِي يَا بُنَيَّةِ قُومِي بِنَا إِلَى الرَّمْلِ نَطْلُبُ الْقَتَّ وَ هُوَ نَبْتٌ لَهُ حَبٌّ فَصِرْنَا إِلَى الرَّمْلِ فَلَمْ نَجِدْ شَيْئاً فَجَمَعَ أَبِي رَمْلًا وَ وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَأَيْتُ عَيْنَيْهِ قَدْ انْقَلَبَتْ فَبَكَيْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَهْ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِكَ وَ أَنَا وَحِيدَةٌ

(She said), ‘My fatherra said to me, ‘O daughter! Arise and let us go to the sand to seek ‘Al-Qat’, and it is a plan having seed for it’. So, we went to the sand but we could not find anything. My fatherra gathered sand and placed hisra head upon it and I saw hisra eyes to be turning over. I cried and said to himra, ‘O fatherra! How will I (be able to) deal with youra and I am alone?’

فَقَالَ يَا بِنْتِي لَا تَخَافِي فَإِنِّي إِذَا مِتُّ جَاءَكِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ مَنْ يَكْفِيكِ أَمْرِي فَإِنِّي‏ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا بَا ذَرٍّ تَعِيشُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تَمُوتُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تُبْعَثُ وَحْدَكَ وَ تَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ وَحْدَكَ يَسْعَدُ بِكَ أَقْوَامٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ غُسْلَكَ وَ تَجْهِيزَكَ وَ دَفْنَكَ

Hera said, ‘O myra daughter! Do not fear for when Ira die, there will come to you from the people of Al Iraq, one who will suffice you of myra matter, for myra beloved Rasool-Allahsaww informed mera during the military expedition of Tabuk. Hesaww said to mera: ‘O Abu Zarrra! Youra will live alone, and die alone, and Resurrected alone, and enter the Paradise alone. A group from the people of Al Iraq would be fortunate with youra being in charge of yourra washing and yourra burial’.

فَإِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَمُدِّي الْكِسَاءَ عَلَى وَجْهِي ثُمَّ اقْعُدِي عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْعِرَاقِ فَإِذَا أَقْبَلَ رَكْبٌ فَقُومِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَ قُولِي هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ

So when Ira pass away, then extent the blanket upon myra face then sit upon the road of Al-Iraq. When riders come, then stand to them and say, ‘This is Abu Zarrra, companion of Rasool-Allahsaww who has expired’.

قَالَتْ‏ فَدَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الرَّبَذَةِ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا تَشْتَكِي قَالَ ذُنُوبِي قَالُوا فَمَا تَشْتَهِي قَالَ رَحْمَةَ رَبِّي قَالُوا هَلْ لَكَ بِطَبِيبٍ‏ قَالَ الطَّبِيبُ أَمْرَضَنِي

She said, ‘A group from the people of Al-Rabza entered to see himra, and they said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! What is yourra complaint?’ Hera said, ‘Myra sins’. They said, ‘So what do youra desire?’ Hera said, ‘Mercy of myra Lordazwj’. They said, ‘Is there any doctor for youra?’ Hera said, ‘The doctor made mera sick’.

قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ فَلَمَّا عَايَنَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَرْحَباً بِحَبِيبٍ أَتَى عَلَى فَاقَةٍ لَا أَفْلَحَ مَنْ نَدِمَ اللَّهُمَّ خَنِّقْنِي خِنَاقَكَ فَوَ حَقِّكَ إِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ لِقَاءَكَ

Hisra daughter said, ‘When I observed, I heard himra saying, ‘Welcome to the beloved who comes upon destitution to make succeed the one who regrets. O Allahazwj! Strangle mera with Yourazwj Strangulation, for by Yourazwj right, Youazwj Know that Ira loved to meet Youazwj’.

قَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ مَدَدْتُ الْكِسَاءَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَعَدْتُ عَلَى طَرِيقِ الْعِرَاقِ فَجَاءَ نَفَرٌ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ فَنَزَلُوا وَ مَشَوْا يَبْكُونَ فَجَاءُوا فَغَسَّلُوهُ وَ كَفَّنُوهُ وَ دَفَنُوهُ

Hisra daughter said, ‘When hera passed away, I extended the blanket upon hisra face, then I sat upon the road of Al-Iraq. A number came, so I said to them, ‘O community of Muslims! This is Abu Zarrra, companion of Rasool-Allahsaww, has expired’. They descended and walked crying. They came and washed himra, and enshrouded himra and buried himra.

وَ كَانَ فِيهِمُ الْأَشْتَرُ فَرُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَفَّنْتُهُ فِي حُلَّةٍ كَانَتْ مَعِي قِيمَتُهَا أَرْبَعَةُ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ

And among them was Al-Ashtar, and it is reported that he said, ‘ I enshroud himra in a garment which was with me, its value was four thousand Dirhams.

فَقَالَتِ ابْنَتُهُ فَكُنْتُ أُصَلِّي بِصَلَاتِهِ وَ أَصُومُ بِصِيَامِهِ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ نَائِمَةٌ عِنْدَ قَبْرِهِ‏ إِذْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَتَهَجَّدُ بِالْقُرْآنِ فِي نَوْمِي كَمَا كَانَ يَتَهَجَّدُ بِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَهْ مَا ذَا فَعَلَ بِكَ رَبُّكَ قَالَ يَا بِنْتِي قَدِمْتُ عَلَى رَبٍّ كَرِيمٍ رَضِيَ عَنِّي وَ رَضِيتُ عَنْهُ وَ أَكْرَمَنِي وَ حَيَّانِي فَاعْمَلِي وَ لَا تَغْتَرِّي‏.

His daughter said, ‘I prayed hisra Salat and Fasted hisra Fasts. While I was asleep one night by hisra grave, when I heard himra reciting the Quran in my sleep just as hera used to recite it during hisra lifetime. I said, ‘O fatherra! What has yourra Lordazwj Done with youra?’ Hera said, ‘O myra daughter! Ira arrived to the Benevolent Lordazwj and Heazwj is Pleased from mera, and Ira am pleased from Himazwj, and Heazwj Honoured mera and myra life and myra deeds did not deceive mera’’.⁵⁰³

Abu Zarrra entered to see Usman, unwell, leaning upon hisra staff, and with him were one hundred thousand Dirhams carried over to him from one of the regions. He said, ‘I want to add similar to it, then I will opine regarding it with an opinion.

فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَ تَذْكُرُ إِذْ رَأَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَزِيناً عِشَاءً فَقَالَ بَقِيَ عِنْدِي مِنْ فَيْ‏ءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَرْبَعَةُ دَرَاهِمَ لَمْ أَكُنْ قَسَمْتُهَا ثُمَّ قَسَمَهَا فَقَالَ الْآنَ اسْتَرَحْتُ

Abu Zarrra said, ‘Do you remember when we saw Rasool-Allahazwj gloomy one evening and hesaww said: ‘There remain with mesaww from the booty of the Muslims, four Dirhams, Isaww have yet to distribute it’. Then hesaww distributed them and said, ‘Now Isaww am at rest’.

Usman said to Ka’ab Al-Ahbar, ‘What are you saying regarding a man who pays the Zakat of his wealth, would anything else be Obligated after that?’ He said, ‘No, even if he were to take a brick of gold and a brick of silver’. Abu Zarrra said, ‘O son of a Jewess! What are you and the consideration regarding the rulings of the Muslims?’ Usman said, ‘Had it not been yourra companionship (with the Prophetsaww), I would have killed youra’. Then he exiled himra to Al-Rabza’’.⁵⁰⁸

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Yaqeen’ – Ahmad Bin Mardawiya, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Raheem, from Al Hassan Bin Al hakam Al Kahyri, from Sa’ad Bin Usman Al Khazaz, from Abu Maryam, from Dawood Bin Abu Awf, from Muawiya Bin Sa’alba Al Laysi who said,

‘Shall I narrated a Hadeeth to you not having been mixed up?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Abu Zarrra became unwell and bequeathed to Aliasws, so one of the ones who consoled himra said, ‘If only you had bequeathed to the commander of the faithful Umar, it would have been more beautiful for yourra bequest, rather than Aliasws’.

قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَوْصَيْتُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقَّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَلرَّبِيعُ الَّذِي يُسْكَنُ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَوْ قَدْ فَارَقَكُمْ لَقَدْ أَنْكَرْتُمُ النَّاسَ وَ أَنْكَرْتُمُ الْأَرْضَ

Hera said, ‘By Allahazwj! Ira have bequeathed to the commander of the faithful rightful (of the title) ‘Commander of the faithful’. By Allahazwj! Heasws is the spring to those who settle to himasws, and if Ira separate from you, you will deny the people and deny the earth’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّا لَنَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَبَّهُمْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَحَبُّهُمْ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ أَجَلْ قُلْنَا فَأَيُّهُمْ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ هَذَا الشَّيْخُ‏ الْمَظْلُومُ الْمُضْطَهَدُ حَقَّهُ يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Let us know the most beloved of them to Rasool-Allahsaww and the most beloved of them to youra’. Hera said, ‘Yes’. We said, ‘So which of them is the most beloved to youra?’ Hera said, ‘This Sheykh, the oppressed, the one persecuted for hisasws right – meaning Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’’. ⁵⁰⁹

‘We entered to see Abu Zarrra to console himra during hisra illness in which hera passed away. We said, ‘Bequeath, O Abu Zarrra’. Hera said, ‘Ira have already bequeathed’. We said, ‘To whom?’ Hera said, ‘To the commander of the faithful’. We said, ‘Usman?’ Hera said, ‘No, but to the commander of the faithful rightful (of the title) ‘Commander of the faithful’. By Allahazwj! Heasws is the lord of the earth and lord of this community, and if you were to lose himasws, you will deny the earth and the ones upon it’’.⁵¹⁰

45- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ النَّاسُ فِي غَزَاةِ تَبُوكَ تَخَلَّفَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَلَمْ يَبْرَحْ مَكَانَهُ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَرْمَقُ الطَّرِيقَ حَتَّى طَلَعَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَحْمِلُ أَشْيَاءَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ

(The book) ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The people said during the military expedition of Tabuk, ‘Abu Zarrra has stayed behind’. The Prophetsaww descended and did not move from hissaww place until morning. Then hesaww went on gazing at the road until Abu Zarrra emerged carrying certain things upon hisra shoulder.

قَالَ وَ قَدْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهُ بَعِيرُهُ فَتَلَوَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَذَ مَتَاعَهُ وَ مَضَى قَالَ هَذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ

Heasws said: ‘Hera had stayed behind from himsaww, hisra camel had lingered. When it was sluggish, hera took hisra belongings and continued (on foot)’. Hesaww said: ‘This is Abu Zarrra’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَمْشِي وَحْدَهُ وَ يُحْيَا وَحْدَهُ وَ يَمُوتُ وَحْدَهُ وَ يُبْعَثُ وَحْدَهُ اسْقُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَطْشَانُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ إِدَاوَةٌ مُعَلَّقَةٌ مَعَهُ بِعَصاً مَمْلُوَّةٌ مَاءً قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ وَ قَالَ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَقْتُلُوهُ عَطَشاً اسْقُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ عَطْشَانُ

Then the Prophetsaww said: ‘Abu Zarrra walks alone, and lives alone, and will die alone, and be Resurrected alone. Quench himra for hera is thirsty’. We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This here is a container hanging with hisra staff, it is filled with water’. Hesaww said: ‘And beware of killing himra thirsty! Quench himra, for hera is thirsty’.

قَالَ أَبُو قَتَادَةَ فَأَخَذْتُ قَدَحِي فَمَلَأْتُهُ ثُمَّ سَعَيْتُ بِهِ نَحْوَهُ حَتَّى لَقِيتُهُ فَبَرَكَ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ ثُمَّ شَرِبَ حَتَّى أَتَى عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ أَ بَلَغَ مِنْكَ الْعَطَشُ مَا أَرَى وَ هَذِهِ إِدَاوَةٌ مَعَكَ مَمْلُوَّةٌ مَاءً قَالَ إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ‏ عَلَى نَضْحَةٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَأَوْدَعْتُهَا إِدَاوَتِي وَ قُلْتُ أَسْقِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص‏.

Abu Qatada said, ‘I grabbed my cup and filled it, then sprinted with it to near himasws until I met himra. Hera was kneeling upon hisra knees. Then hera drank until I came to himra and said, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on youra! Has the extent of thirst reached from youra what I see, and this here is a container full of water?’ Hera said, ‘Ira passed by rain water and Ira collected it in myra container, and Ira said, ‘Ira shall quench Rasool-Allahsaww with it’’.⁵¹¹

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Ibn Fazzal, from Abu Al Mi’zy, from Ibn Muskan, from Suleyman Bin Khalid among what I think,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Zarrra was seen watering a donkey of hisra at Al Rabza. One of the people said to himra, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Is there no one who can water this donkey for youra?’ Hera said, ‘Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘There is none from an animal except and it asks every morning, ‘O Allahazwj! Grace me a righteous owner who will satiate me from the fodder and sustains me from the water and does not encumber me above my strength’, therefore Ira love to water it myselfra’’.⁵¹²

(The book) – ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Abu Zarrra having said, ‘Ira and Usman were walking and Rasool-Allahsaww was reclining in the Masjid, so we sat to himsaww. Then Usman stood up and Abu Zarrra (remained) seated.

فَقَالَ ص لَهُ بِأَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ كُنْتَ تُنَاجِي عُثْمَانَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ سَيُبْغِضُكَ وَ تُبْغِضُهُ وَ الظَّالِمُ مِنْكُمَا فِي النَّارِ قُلْتُ‏ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ‏ الظَّالِمُ مِنِّي وَ مِنْهُ فِي النَّارِ فَأَيُّنَا الظَّالِمُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلِ الْحَقَّ وَ إِنْ وَجَدْتَهُ مُرّاً تَلْقَنِي عَلَى الْعَهْدِ.

Hesaww said to himra: ‘With which thing were youra whispering to Usman?’ Hera said, ‘Ira was reciting a Chapter from the Quran’. Hesaww said: ‘He will be hating youra and youra will hate him, and the unjust one from you two would be in the Fire’. Ira said, ‘We are for Allahazwj and to Himazwj we are returning! The unjust one from mera and him would be in the Fire, so which of us is the unjust one?’ Hesaww said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! Speak the truth and even if youra find it to be bitter, youra will meet mera while being upon the Covenant’’.⁵¹³

Hesaww said: ‘Come let usasws go to console himra’. Weasws went to himra altogether. When weasws sat, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘How have youra become, O Abu Zarrra?’ Hera said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Ira became unconscious’.

فَقَالَ أَصْبَحْتَ فِي رَوْضَةٍ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ قَدِ انْغَمَسْتَ فِي مَاءِ الْحَيَوَانِ وَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا يَقْدَحُ فِي دِينِكَ فَأَبْشِرْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ.

Hesaww said: ‘Youra became in a Garden from the Gardens of the Paradise which had been immersed in the water of (river) Al-Haywaan, and Allahazwj has Forgiven for you what was criticised in yourra Religion, so receive glad tidings, O Abu Zarrra!’’⁵¹⁴

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Yaqeen’ – From the book in ‘Al Manaqib’, he said, ‘I was informed by Mukhawwal Bin Ibrahim, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Rafie, from his father,

From Abu Zarrra having said, ‘When Usman exiled Abu Zarrra to Al-Rabza, I came to greet unto himra. Abu Zarrra said, ‘Be patient for mera, and for the people there is a term with mera. Surely, a Fitna (strife) will be occurring and Ira won’t be coming across it and perhaps you will come across it, so fear Allahazwj and it is upon you to be with the sheykh Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww and hesaww said: ‘Youra are the first one to believe in mesaww, and the first one to shake mysaww hand on the Day of Qiyamah, and youasws are the greatest truthful (Siddique), and youasws are the differentiator (Farouq) who differentiates between the truth and the falsehood, and youasws are the leader (Yasoob) of the Momineen, and the wealth is the leader of the Kafirs’’.⁵¹⁵

Al-Kafi – Ali Bin Ibrahim, raising it, said, ‘When Zarr son of Abu Zarr died, Abu Zarrra wiped the grave with hisra hand, then hera said, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on youra, O Abu Zarrra! You were righteous with mera and you (your soul) has been captured, and Ira am pleased from you. But, by Allahazwj, your loss is not with mera, and there is no grief upon mera, and there is no need for me to anyone besides Allahazwj, and had there not been for the emerging horror, it would have cheered mera to be in your place, and the grief for you has pre-occupied mera from grieving upon you.

وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَكَيْتُ لَكَ وَ لَكِنْ بَكَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَلَيْتَ شِعْرِي مَا ذَا قُلْتَ وَ مَا ذَا قِيلَ لَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَدْ وَهَبْتُ لَهُ مَا افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حَقِّي فَهَبْ لَهُ مَا افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ حَقِّكَ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِالْجُودِ مِنِّي‏.

By Allahazwj! Ira will not cry for you but Ira shall cry upon you, for Ira am not aware what you will say and what would be said to you’. Then hera said, ‘O Allahazwj! Ira have gifted to him what Youazwj Obligated upon him of myra rights, so Gift to him what Youazwj Obligated upon him from Yourazwj rights, for Youazwj are more rightful with the generosity than Ira am’’.⁵¹⁶

Al Kafi – The number, from Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Hafs Al Tameemi, from Abu Al Ja’far Al Khas’amy who said,

‘When Usman exiled Abu Zarrra to Al-Rabza, Amir Al-Momineenasws, and Aqeel, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and Ammar Bin Yasserra escorted himra. When it was during the farewell Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! But rather youra got angry for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic so have hope from the Oneazwj youra were angered for.

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 جَعَلَ لَهُ مِنْهَا مَخْرَجاً فَلَا يُؤْنِسْكَ إِلَّا الْحَقُّ وَ لَا يُوحِشْكَ إِلَّا الْبَاطِلُ‏

The people are scaring youra upon their world and youra are scaring them upon yourra Religion so they exiled youra from (that which is) doomed and tested youra 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 youra except for the truth, and let nothing scare youra except for the falsehood’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عَقِيلٌ فَقَالَ يَا بَا 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 Aqeelra spoke saying, ‘O Abu Zarrra! Youra know that we love youra, and we know that youra love us, and youra have preserved with regards to us what the people have wasted except for a few. So yourra Reward is upon Allahazwj, and it is for that that they have thrown youra out as the castaway and made youra travel in the exile. Yourra Reward is upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. Fear Allahazwj and know that youra should resign to the affliction from the anxiety and yourra deterioration of the health from the despair. Leave the resignation and the despair and say, ‘Allahazwj is Sufficient for mera and the best Advocate’.

Then Al-Hassanasws spoke saying: ‘O unclera! The people have meted out to youra what youra 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 youra of the ease after it, and be patient until youra meet yourra Prophetsaww, and hesaww will be pleased with youra, Allahazwj Willing’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع 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 أَحْوَجَهُمُ‏ إِلَى مَا مَنَعْتَهُمْ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالصَّبْرِ وَ إِنَ‏ الْخَيْرَ فِي الصَّبْرِ وَ الصَّبْرَ مِنَ الْكَرْمِ وَ دَعِ الْجَزَعَ فَإِنَّ الْجَزَعَ لَا يُغْنِيكَ

Then Al-Husaynasws spoke saying: ‘O unclera! Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted has the Power to Change what youra see, and every day Heazwj is in (a State of) Glory. The people have denied youra their world, and youra have denied them yourra Religion. So what is yourra need from what they have denied youra, and they are in greatest need for what youra have denied them. It is for youra to observe patience, for the goodness is in the patience, and the patience is from the generosity. And leave the anxiety, for the anxiety does not avail’.

ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ عَمَّارٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ يَا بَا 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 ذلِكَ هُوَ الْخُسْرانُ الْمُبِينُ‏

Then Ammarra spoke saying, ‘O Abu Zarrra! May Allahazwj Make lonely the one who made youra to be lonely, and Frighten the one who (tried to) frightened youra. 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 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 ص بِكُمْ وَ مَا لِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ شَجَنٌ وَ لَا سَكَنٌ غَيْرُكُمْ وَ إِنَّهُ ثَقُلَ عَلَى عُثْمَانَ جِوَارِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ كَمَا ثَقُلَ عَلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بِالشَّامِ

Then Abu Zarrra spoke saying, ‘Peace be upon you all, and the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings! May myra father and myra mother (be sacrificed for you all). These are the faces, when Ira see them, Ira remember the Rasool-Allahsaww. And what is there for mera in Al-Medina to dwell in apart from you all? And it became heavy upon Usman to let mera (live) in the neighbourhood of Al-Medina just as it became heavy upon Muawiya in Syria.

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 لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِنَا وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ‏.

He (Usman) decided that he would exile mera to a town, so Ira said it should be Al-Kufa. He feared that Ira would spoil the relationship of his brother with the people in Al-Kufa. By Allahazwj He is sending mera to a place in which Ira will neither see any human being nor hear a humming sound. By Allahazwj! Ira do not want anyone except Allahazwj as a companion, and what is the loneliness for mera when Allahazwj is with mera. Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no god but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129], and greetings of Allahazwj be upon our Chief Muhammadsaww and hissaww purified Progenyasws’’.⁵¹⁷

(The books) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbaar’ (and) ‘Uyoon Akhbaar Al Rezaasws – My father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim Al Nahawandy, from Salih Bin Rahwaya, from Abu Hayyun,

‘A slave of Al-Rezaasws said, ‘Jibraeelas descended unto the Prophetsaww and said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj Conveys the greetings to yousaww and Says: “The virgins from the women are at the status of the fruit upon the tree, so when the fruit ripens then there is no cure for it except to take it away or else the sun would spoil it and its smell would change; and when the virgins reach what the women tend to reach, then there is no cure for them except the husband, or else there is no safety upon them of the temptation’.

فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ ثُمَّ أَعْلَمَهُمْ مَا أَمَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فَقَالُوا مِمَّنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ الْأَكْفَاءِ فَقَالُوا وَ مَنِ الْأَكْفَاءُ فَقَالَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَكْفَاءُ بَعْضٍ

Rasool-Allahsaww ascended the pulpit and addressed the people, then let them know of what Allahazwj had Commanded himsaww with. They said, ‘(Get them married) to who, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘The matches’. They said, ‘And who are the matches?’ Hesaww said: ‘The Momineen are a match for each other’.

ثُمَّ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ حَتَّى زَوَّجَ ضُبَاعَةَ الْمِقْدَادَ بْنَ الْأَسْوَدِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا زَوَّجْتُ ابْنَةَ عَمِّي الْمِقْدَادَ لِيَتَّضِعَ النِّكَاحُ‏.

Then hesaww did not descend until hesaww got Suba’a married to Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswadra, then said: ‘O you people! But rather Isaww got a daughter of mysaww uncle married to Al-Miqdadra in order to place the Marriage’’.⁵¹⁸

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww got Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswadra married to Suba’a, a daughter of Al-Zubeyr Bin Abdul Muttalibasws, and rather hesaww got himra married in order to place the marriages, and so they would despair with Rasool-Allahsaww and for them to know that the most honourable of them in the Presence of Allahazwj is their most pious’’.⁵¹⁹

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Usman said to Al-Miqdadra, ‘But by Allahazwj! Either you desist or I shall send to youra to yourra Lordazwj’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الْمِقْدَادَ الْوَفَاةُ قَالَ لِعَمَّارٍ أَبْلِغْ عُثْمَانَ عَنِّي أَنِّي قَدْ رُدِدْتُ إِلَى رَبِّيَ الْأَوَّلِ‏.

Heasws said: ‘When the expiry presented to Al-Miqdadra, hera said to Ammarra, ‘Deliver to Usman on myra behalf, Ira have returned to myra Lordazwj first’’.⁵²⁰

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed, from the scribe, from Al Zafrani, from Al Saqafi, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Al Husayn Bin Sufyan, from his father, from Lut Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Jundab, from his father who said,

‘When allegiances were pledged to Usman, Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad Al-Kindyra was heard saying to Abdul Rahman Bin Awf, ‘By Allahazwj, O Abdul Rahman! Ira have not seen the like of what has come to the family membersasws of this Household after theirasws Prophetsaww’. Abdul Rahman said to him, ‘What have you to do with that, O Miqdadra?’

قَالَ إِنِّي وَ اللَّهِ أُحِبُّهُمْ لِحُبِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَهُمْ وَ يَعْتَرِينِي وَ اللَّهِ وَجْدٌ لَا أَبُثُّهُ بَثَّةً لِتَشَرُّفِ قُرَيْشٍ عَلَى النَّاسِ بِشَرَفِهِمْ وَ اجْتِمَاعِهِمْ عَلَى نَزْعِ سُلْطَانِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ أَيْدِيهِمْ

Hera said, ‘By Allahazwj! Ira love themasws for the love of Rasool-Allahsaww for themasws, and it troubles measws, by Allahazwj, finding the broadcasting of the nobility of Quraysh over the people with their nobility and their uniting upon snatching away the authority of Rasool-Allahsaww away from theirasws hands’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَيْحَكَ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدِ اجْتَهَدَتْ‏ نَفْسِي لَكُمْ قَالَ لَهُ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ تَرَكْتَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَأْمُرُونَ‏ بِالْحَقِّ وَ بِهِ يَعْدِلُونَ‏ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ لِي عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ أَعْوَاناً لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ قِتَالِي إِيَّاهُمْ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ أُحُدٍ

Abdul Rahman said to himra, ‘Woe be unto youra! I have exerted myself for you all’. Al Miqdadra said to him, ‘You have neglected a man from those whom are instructing with the Truth and by it they are dispensing justice [7:181]. But by Allahazwj! There are supporters for mera against Quraysh to fight against them myra fighting them on the days of Badr and Ohad’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ثَكِلَتْكَ أُمُّكَ يَا مِقْدَادُ لَا يَسْمَعَنَّ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ مِنْكَ النَّاسُ أم [أَمَا] وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَخَائِفٌ أَنْ تَكُونَ صَاحِبَ فُرْقَةٍ وَ فِتْنَةٍ

Abdul Rahman said to himra, ‘May yourra mother be bereft of youra, O Miqdadra! Do not let the people hear this speech from youra, or by Allahazwj, I fear that you will become one of alienation and strife’.

قَالَ جُنْدَبٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ مَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا مِقْدَادُ أَنَا مِنْ أَعْوَانِكَ فَقَالَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ الَّذِي نُرِيدُ لَا يُغْنِي فِيهِ الرَّجُلَانِ وَ الثَّلَاثَةُ فَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَأَتَيْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ مَا قَالَ وَ مَا قُلْتُ قَالَ فَدَعَا لَنَا بِخَيْرٍ.

Jundabra said, ‘Ira came to himra after he had left from hisra place and said to himra, ‘O Miqdadra, Ira am from yourra supporters’. Hera said, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on youra, that which wera want cannot be availed by two men and three’. So Ira went out from himra and came to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and mentioned to himasws what hera had said and what Ira had said. Heasws supplicated to usra with goodness’’.⁵²²

(The book) ‘Rijal Al Kashy – Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Abu Bakr Al Hazrami who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The people reneged except three persons – Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra and Al-Miqdadra’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ فَعَمَّارٌ قَالَ قَدْ كَانَ جَاضَ جَيْضَةً ثُمَّ رَجَعَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ أَرَدْتَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَشُكَّ وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَالْمِقْدَادُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘So, (what about Ammarra)?’ Heasws said: ‘Hera was delayed with a delay, then returned’. Then heasws said, ‘Iasws intended those who did not doubt (at all) and nothing entered in him, so it is Al-Miqdadra.

فَأَمَّا سَلْمَانُ فَإِنَّهُ عَرَضَ فِي قَلْبِهِ أَنَّ عِنْدَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ لَوْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ لَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الْأَرْضُ وَ هُوَ هَكَذَا فَلُبِّبَ وَ وُجِئَتْ عُنُقُهُ حَتَّى تُرِكَتْ كَالسِّلْعَةِ فَمَرَّ بِهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ هَذَا مِنْ ذَاكَ بَايِعْ فَبَايَعَ

As for Salmanra, it presented in hisra heart that with Amir Al-Momineenasws is the Magnificent name of Allahazwj. If heasws were to speak with it, the ground would seize them, and heasws is like that. So hera was (hit by a) belt and hurt hisra neck until hera was left like an article’. Amir Al-Momineenasws passed by himra and said to himra: ‘O servant of Allahazwj! This is from that allegiance’. Hera pledged allegiance.

وَ أَمَّا أَبُو ذَرٍّ فَأَمَرَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِالسُّكُوتِ وَ لَمْ يَأْخُذْهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ فَأَبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ

And as for Abu Zarrra, Amir Al-Momineenasws ordered himra with the silence, and hera would not take for the Sake of Allahazwj any blame of a blamer. Hera refused except that hera would speak. Usman passed by himra and ordered with himra (with the exiling).

ثُمَّ أَنَابَ النَّاسُ بَعْدَهُ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ أَبُو سَاسَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَ أَبُو عَمْرَةَ وَ شُتَيْرَةُ فَكَانُوا سَبْعَةً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَعْرِفُ حَقَّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَّا هَؤُلَاءِ السَّبْعَةُ.

Then the people repented after it, and the first one to repent was Abu Sasan Al-Ansari, and Abu Amr, and Shuteyra, and they were sever, and did not happen to recognise the right of Amir Al-Momineenasws except these seven’’.⁵²⁶

The Verses – (Surah) Al Baqarah: And like that, We Made you (Imams) as an intermediary community in order for you (Imams) to become witnesses upon the people, and the Rasool to become a witness upon you. [2:143]

آل عمران‏ كُنْتُمْ خَيْرَ أُمَّةٍ أُخْرِجَتْ لِلنَّاسِ تَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ تَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ‏

(Surah) Aal-e-Imran: You are the best of the communities raised up for the people; you are enjoining with the goodness and forbidding from the evil and are believing in Allah; [3:110]

الحج‏ هُوَ اجْتَباكُمْ وَ ما جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ مِلَّةَ أَبِيكُمْ إِبْراهِيمَ هُوَ سَمَّاكُمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ فِي هذا لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَهِيداً عَلَيْكُمْ وَ تَكُونُوا شُهَداءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَ اعْتَصِمُوا بِاللَّهِ هُوَ مَوْلاكُمْ فَنِعْمَ الْمَوْلى‏ وَ نِعْمَ النَّصِيرُ

(Surah) Al Hajj: He Chose you and did not Make any hardship upon you in the Religion, being a sect of your father Ibrahim. He named you all as the Muslims from before. And regarding this, the Rasool happens to be a witness upon you, and you happen to be witnesses upon the people. Therefore, establish the Salat and give the Zakat, and adhere with Allah, He is your Master. So, Excellent is the Master, and Excellent is the Helper! [22:78].

وَ رَوَى بُرَيْدٌ الْعِجْلِيُّ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: نَحْنُ الْأُمَّةُ الْوَسَطُ وَ نَحْنُ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ حُجَّتُهُ فِي أَرْضِهِ.

And it is reported by Bureyd Al-Ijaly, from Al-Baqirasws having said: ‘We (Imamsasws) are the intermediary community, and weasws are the witnesses of Allahazwj upon Hisazwj creatures and Hisazwj Divine authorities in Hisazwj earth’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى‏ إِلَيْنَا يَرْجِعُ الْغَالِي وَ بِنَا يَلْحَقُ الْمُقَصِّرُ.

And in another report – ‘To usasws the exaggerator will return, and with us the reducer will join up’’.

وَ رَوَى الْحَسْكَانِيُّ فِي شَوَاهِدِ التَّنْزِيلِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى إِيَّانَا عَنَى بِقَوْلِهِ‏ لِتَكُونُوا شُهَداءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ‏: فَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَاهِدٌ عَلَيْنَا وَ نَحْنُ شُهَدَاءُ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ حُجَّتُهُ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ كَذلِكَ جَعَلْناكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطاً.

And it is reported by Al-Haskani in (the book) Shawahid Al-Tanzeel, by his chain from Suley Bin Qays, from Aliasws: ‘Allahazwj Meant usasws by Hisazwj Words: in order for you (Imams) to become witnesses upon the people [2:143]. So, Rasool-Allahsaww is a witness upon usasws, and we (Imamsasws) are witnesses of Allahazwj upon Hisazwj creatures and Hisazwj Divine authorities in Hisazwj earth, and wera are those Allahazwj Said: And like that, We Made you (Imams) as an intermediary community [2:143].

1- ل، الخصال سَلْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ اللَّخْمِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ مِنْجَابِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ الثَّعْلَبِيِّ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ السَّوَانِي عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ فَأَعْطَانِي اثْنَتَيْنِ وَ مَنَعَنِي وَاحِدَةً قُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ لَا تُهْلِكْ أُمَّتِي جُوعاً قَالَ لَكَ هَذِهِ قُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوّاً مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ يَعْنِي مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَيَجْتَاحُوهُمْ قَالَ لَكَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ لَا تَجْعَلْ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمَنَعَنِي هَذِهِ.

‘From Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws having said: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘Isaww asked mysaww Lordazwj Blessed and Exalted of three characteristics. Heazwj Gave mesaww two and Refused mesaww one. Isaww said: ‘O Lordazwj! Mysaww community should not be destroyed by hunger’. Heazwj Said: “This is for yousaww”. Isaww said: ‘O Lordazwj! They should not be overcome upon by enemies from others, meaning from the Polytheists, being invaded by them’. Heazwj Said: “That is for yousaww”. Isaww said: ‘O Lordazwj! Do not Make their suffering to be between them’. Heazwj Refused mesaww this’’.⁵²⁷

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘Mysaww community has not been Given any less (from other communities) from three – the beauty, and the good voice, and the memorisation’’.⁵²⁸

3- ل، الخصال الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ رُفِعَ عَنْ أُمَّتِي تِسْعَةٌ الْخَطَأُ وَ النِّسْيَانُ وَ مَا أُكْرِهُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ مَا لَا يُطِيقُونَ وَ مَا اضْطُرُّوا إِلَيْهِ وَ الْحَسَدُ وَ الطِّيَرَةُ وَ التَّفَكُّرُ فِي الْوَسْوَسَةِ فِي الْخَلْقِ مَا لَمْ يَنْطِقْ بِشَفَةٍ.

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Al Attar, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Yazeed, from Hareez,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Nine (things) have been Raised from mysaww community – (Being Punished for) the mistake, and the forgetfulness, and what it is coerced upon, and what they don’t know, and what they cannot endure, and what they are desperate to, and the envy, and the evil omen, and the pondering in the anxiety regarding the people what the lips haven’t spoken with’’.⁵²⁹

4- ب، قرب الإسناد هَارُونُ عَنِ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ: مِمَّا أَعْطَى اللَّهُ أُمَّتِي وَ فَضَّلَهُمْ بِهِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ أَعْطَاهُمْ ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ لَمْ يُعْطِهَا إِلَّا أُمَّتِي وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ نَبِيّاً قَالَ لَهُ اجْتَهِدْ فِي دِينِكَ وَ لَا حَرَجَ عَلَيْكَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَعْطَى ذَلِكَ أُمَّتِي حَيْثُ يَقُولُ‏ وَ ما جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ‏ يَقُولُ مِنْ ضِيقٍ

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – Haroun, from Ibn Ziyad,

‘From Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘From what Allahazwj has Granted mysaww community and Merited them with over the rest of the communities, Heazwj Granted them three qualities Heazwj did not Give it except to mysaww community, and that is that Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted, whenever Heazwj Sent a Prophetsaww, Said to himas: “Struggle in youras Religion and there is no hardship upon youas”, and Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Gave that to mysaww community where Heazwj Said: and did not Make any hardship upon you in the Religion [22:78], Heazwj is Saying, “Straitness!”

وَ كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ نَبِيّاً قَالَ لَهُ إِذَا أَحْزَنَكَ أَمْرٌ تَكْرَهُهُ فَادْعُنِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَعْطَى أُمَّتِي ذَلِكَ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ‏ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ‏

And whenever Heazwj Sent a Prophetsaww, Said to himas: “When a matter youas dislike grieves youas, then supplicated to Meazwj, Iazwj will Answer youas”, and Allahazwj the Exalted Gave that to mysaww community where Heazwj Said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you” [40:60].

وَ كَانَ إِذَا بَعَثَ نَبِيّاً جَعَلَهُ شَهِيداً عَلَى قَوْمِهِ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ أُمَّتِي شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ‏ لِيَكُونَ الرَّسُولُ شَهِيداً عَلَيْكُمْ وَ تَكُونُوا شُهَداءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ‏.

And whenever Heazwj Sent a Prophetas, Made himas a witness upon hisas people, and Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Made mysaww community witnesses upon the people where Heazwj Said: , the Rasool happens to be a witness upon you, and you happen to be witnesses upon the people. [22:78]’’.⁵³⁰

مُسْتَقِيمٍ‏ و الثامن السلام قال للحبيب في ليلة المعراج السلام عليك أيها النبي و رحمة الله و بركاته و قال لأمته‏ وَ إِذا جاءَكَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِآياتِنا فَقُلْ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ كَتَبَ رَبُّكُمْ عَلى‏ نَفْسِهِ الرَّحْمَةَ و التاسع الرضا قال للحبيب‏ وَ لَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضى‏ و قال لأمته‏ لَيُدْخِلَنَّهُمْ مُدْخَلًا يَرْضَوْنَهُ‏ يعني الجنة و من رحمة الله سبحانه على هذه الأمة و تخصيصه إياهم دون الأمم ما خص به شريعتهم من التخفيف و التيسير فقال سبحانه‏ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخَفِّفَ عَنْكُمْ‏ و قال‏ ما يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيَجْعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ حَرَجٍ‏ و قال‏ وَ ما جَعَلَ عَلَيْكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ مِنْ حَرَجٍ‏ و قال‏ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَ لا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ و قال‏ وَ يَضَعُ عَنْهُمْ إِصْرَهُمْ وَ الْأَغْلالَ الَّتِي كانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ و كان مما أنعم الله تعالى على هذه الأمة أن الأمم الماضية كانوا إذا أصابهم بول أو غائط أو شي‏ء من النجاسات كان تكليفهم قطعه و إبانته من أجسادهم و خفف عن هذه الأمة بأن جعل الماء طهورا لما يصيب أبدانهم و أثوابهم قال الله تعالى‏ وَ أَنْزَلْنا مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً طَهُوراً و قال‏ وَ يُنَزِّلُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً لِيُطَهِّرَكُمْ‏ و منها أنهم كانوا يعتزلون النساء في حال الحيض فلم‏ يكونوا يؤاكلونهن و لا يجالسونهن و ما أصاب الحائض من الثياب و الفرش و الأواني و غير ذلك نجس حتى لا يجوز الانتفاع به و أباح لها جميع ذلك إلا المجامعة و منها أن صلاتهم كانت خمسين و صلاتنا خمسة و فيها ثواب الخمسين و زكاتهم ربع المال و زكاتنا العشر و ثوابه ثواب ربع المال و منها أنهم كانوا إذا فرغوا من الطعام ليلة صيامهم حرم عليهم الطعام و الشراب و الجماع إلى مثلها من الغد و أحل الله‏ التسحر و الوطء في ليالي الصوم فقال‏ كُلُوا وَ اشْرَبُوا حَتَّى يَتَبَيَّنَ لَكُمُ الْخَيْطُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الْخَيْطِ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ يعني بياض النهار من سواد الليل و قال‏ أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ لَيْلَةَ الصِّيامِ الرَّفَثُ إِلى‏ نِسائِكُمْ‏ يعني الجماع و منها كانت الأمم السالفة تجعل قربانها على أعناقها إلى بيت المقدس فمن قبلت ذلك منه أرسلت عليه نار فأكلته و من لم يقبل منه رجع مثبورا و قد جعل الله قربان أمة نبيه محمد ص في بطون فقرائها و مساكينها فمن قبل ذلك منه أضعف له أضعافا مضاعفة و من لم يقبل منه رفعت عنه عقوبات الدنيا. و منها أن الله تعالى كتب عليهم في التوراة القصاص و الدية في القتل و الجراح و لم يرخص لهم في العفو و أخذ الدية و لم يفرق بين الخطإ و العمد في وجوب القصاص فقال‏ وَ كَتَبْنا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيها أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ‏ ثم خفف عنا في ذلك فخير بين القصاص و الدية و العفو و فرق بين الخطإ و العمد فقال تعالى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصاصُ فِي الْقَتْلى‏ إلى قوله‏ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَاتِّباعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ أَداءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسانٍ ذلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةٌ و من ذلك تخفيف الله عنهم في أمر التوبة فقال لبني إسرائيل‏ وَ إِذْ قالَ مُوسى‏ لِقَوْمِهِ يا قَوْمِ إِنَّكُمْ ظَلَمْتُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِاتِّخاذِكُمُ الْعِجْلَ فَتُوبُوا إِلى‏ بارِئِكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ‏ فكانت توبتهم أن يقتل بعضهم بعضا الأب ابنه و الابن أباه و الأخ أخاه و الأم ولدها و من فر من القتل أو دفع عن نفسه أو اتقى السيف بيده أو أن ترحم على ذي رحمه لم تقبل توبته ثم أمرهم الله بالكف عن القتل بعد أن قتلوا سبعين ألفا في مكان واحد فهذا توبتهم و جعل توبتنا الاستغفار باللسان و الندم بالجنان و ترك العود بالأبدان فقال عز و جل‏ وَ الَّذِينَ إِذا فَعَلُوا فاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ مَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ لَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلى‏ ما فَعَلُوا وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ‏ و قال‏ أَ فَلا يَتُوبُونَ إِلَى اللَّهِ‏ و قال‏ أَ لَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ‏ و من الأمم السالفة من ينظر إلى امرأة بريبة فيؤمر بقلع العين ليقبل عنه التوبة و كفارتنا فيه غض البصر و التوبة بالقلب و العزم على ترك العود إليه و كان منهم من يلاقي بدنه بدن امرأة حراما فيكون التوبة منه إبانة ذلك العضو من نفسه و توبتنا فيه الندم و ترك العود عليه و من يرتكب منهم الخطيئة في خفية و خلوة فيخرج و خطيئته مصورة على باب داره ألا إن فلان بن فلان ارتكب البارحة خطيئة كذا و كذا و كان ينادى عليه من السماء بذلك فيفتضح و ينتهك ستره و من يرتكب منا الخطيئة و يخفيها عن الأبصار فيطلع عليه ربه فيقول للملائكة عبدي قد ستر ذنبه عن أبناء جنسه لقلة ثقته بهم و التجأ إلي لعله يتبعه رحمتي اشهدوا أني قد غفرتها له لثقته برحمتي فإذا كان في يوم القيامة و أوقف للعرض و الحساب يقول عبدي أنا الذي سترتها عليك في الدنيا و أنا الذي أسترها عليك اليوم و مما فضل الله به هذه الأمة أن قيض لهم الأكرمين من الملائكة يستغفرون لهم و يسترحمون لهم منه الرحمة فقال سبحانه‏ الَّذِينَ يَحْمِلُونَ الْعَرْشَ وَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِهِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا و منها أنه جعلهم شهداء على الناس في الدنيا و شهداء و شفعاء في

Hesaww said: ‘The Momineen are witnesses in the earth, and what it reported good so it is good in the Presence of Allahazwj, and what is reported ugly, so it is ugly in the Presence of Allahazwj’’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدْ لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ وَ لَسْنَا إِخْوَانَكَ آمَنَّا بِكَ وَ هَاجَرْنَا مَعَكَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَاكَ وَ نَصَرْنَاكَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Alas! If only Isaww had met mysaww brothers’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Aren’t we yoursaww brothers? We believed in yousaww, and we emigrated with yousaww, and followed yousaww, and helped yousaww’.

قَالَ بَلَى وَ لَكِنْ إِخْوَانِي الَّذِينَ يَأْتُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي كَإِيْمَانِكُمْ وَ يُحِبُّونِي كَحُبِّكُمْ وَ يَنْصُرُونِي كَنُصْرَتِكُمْ وَ يُصَدِّقُونِي كَتَصْدِيقِكُمْ يَا لَيْتَنِي قَدْ لَقِيتُ إِخْوَانِي‏.

Hesaww said: ‘Yes, but mysaww brothers are those who will be coming from after you. They will believe in mesaww just like your beliefs, and they will love mesaww just like your love, and they will help mesaww like your help, and they will ratify mesaww like your ratifications. Alas! If only Isaww had met mysaww brothers!’’⁵³¹

‘There will take place in mysaww community, the submergence, and the morphing, and the eruption’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Due to what?’ Hesaww said: ‘By their taking the female singers and drinking the wines’’.⁵³⁶

(The book) ‘Jamie Al-Akhbar’ – Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘There will come up the people a time, their faces would be the faces of human beings and their hearts would be hearts of Satansla, like examples of the werewolves. They will be spilling the blood and will not be forbidding from the evil. They will do so if you follow them with your suspicions, and if you were to narrate to them they would belie you, and if you turn away from them, they will backbite you.

السُّنَّةُ فِيهِمْ بِدْعَةٌ وَ الْبِدْعَةُ فِيهِمْ سُنَّةٌ وَ الْحَلِيمُ بَيْنَهُمْ غَادِرٌ وَ الْغَادِرُ بَيْنَهُمْ حَلِيمٌ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ مُسْتَضْعَفٌ وَ الْفَاسِقُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ مُشَرَّفٌ صِبْيَانُهُمْ عَارِمٌ وَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ شَاطِرٌ وَ شَيْخُهُمْ لَا يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ لَا يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ الِالْتِجَاءُ إِلَيْهِمْ خِزْيٌ وَ الِاعْتِدَادُ بِهِمْ ذُلٌّ وَ طَلَبُ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ فَقْرٌ

The Sunnah would be innovation among them, and the innovation among them would be a Sunnah, and the forbearer among them would be the betrayer, and the betrayers between them the forbearer; the Momin in what is between them would be weakened, and the mischief-maker in what is between them a noble. Their children would be violent and their women cunning, and their elders will not enjoin with the good nor forbid from the evil. Sheltering to them would be a shame and the priding with them would be a disgrace and seeking what is in their hands, poverty.

فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَحْرِمُهُمُ اللَّهُ قَطْرَ السَّمَاءِ فِي أَوَانِهِ وَ يُنْزِلُهُ فِي غَيْرِ أَوَانِهِ وَ يُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْهِمْ شِرَارَهُمْ فَيَسُومُونَهُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ وَ يَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءَهُمْ فَيَدْعُو خِيَارُهُمْ فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ.

During that Allahazwj would Deprive them drops of the sky during its season and Send it down in other than its season, and Cause their evil ones to overcome upon them. They will impose evil punishment upon them, slaughtering their sons and letting their women live. Their good people would be supplicating but it would not be Answered for them’’.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ بُطُونُهُمْ آلِهَتُهُمْ وَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ قِبْلَتُهُمْ وَ دَنَانِيرُهُمْ دِينُهُمْ وَ شَرَفُهُمْ مَتَاعُهُمْ لَا يَبْقَى مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ إِلَّا اسْمُهُ وَ لَا مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا رَسْمُهُ وَ لَا مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ إِلَّا دَرْسُهُ مَسَاجِدُهُمْ مَعْمُورَةٌ مِنَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ قُلُوبُهُمْ خَرَابٌ عَنِ الْهُدَى عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ شَرُّ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘There will come a time upon the people, their bellies would be their gods and their women their Qiblah, and their Dinars their religions, and their nobility their belongings. There will not remain from the Eman except is name nor from the Islam except its rituals, nor from the Quran except its reading. Their Masjids will grand in its construction and their hearts would be ruination of the guidance. Their scholars would be the evilest creatures of Allahazwj upon the surface of the earth.

حِينَئِذٍ ابْتَلَاهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي هَذَا الزَّمَانِ بِأَرْبَعِ خِصَالٍ جَوْرٍ مِنَ السُّلْطَانِ وَ قَحْطٍ مِنَ الزَّمَانِ وَ ظُلْمٍ مِنَ الْوُلَاةِ وَ الْحُكَّامِ

At that time Allahazwj will Plague them with four characteristics – Tyranny from the Satanla, and drought from the times, and injustices from the rulers and the judges.

فَتَعَجَّبَتِ الصَّحَابَةُ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ يَعْبُدُونَ الْأَصْنَامَ قَالَ نَعَمْ كُلُّ دِرْهَمٍ عِنْدَهُمْ صَنَمٌ.

The companions were astonished and they said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Will they be worshipping the idols?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, every Dirham with them would be an idol’’.

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ يَأْتِي فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ نَاسٌ‏ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتُونَ الْمَسَاجِدَ يَقْعُدُونَ فِيهَا حَلَقاً ذِكْرُهُمُ الدُّنْيَا وَ حُبُّهُمُ‏ الدُّنْيَا لَا تُجَالِسُوهُمْ فَلَيْسَ لِلَّهِ بِهِمْ حَاجَةٌ.

And the Prophetsaww said: ‘There will come during the end of times, a people from mysaww community would be coming to the Masjids sitting in them in a circle, their discussion would be the world, and their love would be the world. Do not sit with them, for there is no need for Allahazwj with them’’.

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ سَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ عَلَى النَّاسِ‏ يَفِرُّونَ مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ كَمَا يَفِرُّ الْغَنَمُ مِنَ الذِّئْبِ ابْتَلَاهُمُ‏ اللَّهُ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَشْيَاءَ الْأَوَّلُ يَرْفَعُ الْبَرَكَةَ مِنْ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ الثَّانِي سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَاناً جَائِراً وَ الثَّالِثُ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا بِلَا إِيمَانٍ.

And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘There will be coming a time upon the people, they will be fleeing from the scholars just as the sheep tend to flee from the wolf. Allahazwj will Plague them with three things, the first, the Blessings will be Raised from their wealth, the second, Allahazwj will Cause a tyrannous ruling authority to overcome upon them, and the third, they would be exiting from the world without Eman’’.

عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ الصَّابِرُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى دِينِهِ كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى الْجَمْرَةِ.

From Anas (famous Ahadith fabricator), from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘There will come a time upon the people, the patient from them would be upon his Religion like the one hold on to the ember’’.

وَ قَالَ ص‏ يَأْتِي عَلَى‏ أُمَّتِي زَمَانٌ أُمَرَاؤُهُمْ يَكُونُونَ عَلَى الْجَوْرِ وَ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى الطَّمَعِ وَ عُبَّادُهُمْ عَلَى الرِّيَاءِ وَ تُجَّارُهُمْ عَلَى أَكْلِ الرِّبَا وَ نِسَاؤُهُمْ عَلَى زِينَةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ غِلْمَانُهُمْ فِي التَّزْوِيجِ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ كَسَادُ أُمَّتِي كَكَسَادِ الْأَسْوَاقِ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مُسْتَقِيمٌ الْأَمْوَاتُ‏ آيِسُونَ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ مِنْ خَيْرِهِمْ وَ لَا يُعِيشُونَ الْأَخْيَارَ فِيهِمْ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ‏ الْهَرَبُ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْقِيَامِ.

And hesaww said: ‘There will come upon mysaww community a time, their rich ones would happen to be upon the tyranny, and their scholars upon the greed, and their worshipper upon the showing off, and their traders upon consuming the interest, and their women upon adornments of the world, and their young boys would be in the marriage. During that the dullness of mysaww community would be like the recession of the markets, and there wouldn’t be anyone to straighten their deceased ones, they would be despairing in their graves from their good (deeds), and the good ones will not be living among them. During that, the war would be better than the staying’’.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ سَيَأْتِي زَمَانٌ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَا يَعْرِفُونَ الْعُلَمَاءَ إِلَّا بِثَوْبٍ حَسَنٍ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ الْقُرْآنَ إِلَّا بِصَوْتٍ حَسَنٍ وَ لَا يَعْبُدُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَإِذَا كَانَ كَذَلِكَ سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطَاناً لَا عِلْمَ لَهُ وَ لَا حِلْمَ لَهُ وَ لَا رَحْمَ لَهُ‏.

The Prophetsaww said: ‘There will come a time upon mysaww community, they will not be recognising the scholars except with the good clothes, nor would they be recognising the Quran except with the beautiful voice, nor will they be worshipping Allahazwj except during the Month of Ramazan. So when it will be like that, Allahazwj will Cause a ruling authority to overcome upon them having no knowledge for him nor any forbearance for him nor any mercy for him’’.⁵³⁷

Isaww bequeath you all with fearing Allahazwj and bequeath Allahazwj with you. ‘I am a clear warner to you [11:25]. Do not exalt yourselves among Hisazwj servants and Hisazwj country, for Allahazwj the Exalted Said to mesaww and to you all: That is the House of the Hereafter. We Make it to be for those who are not wanting to exalt themselves in the land nor make mischief, and the end-result is for the pious [28:83]. And the Glorious Said: Isn’t in Hell an abode for the Kafirs? [39:32].

قُلْنَا مَتَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَجَلُكَ قَالَ دَنَا الْأَجَلُ وَ الْمُنْقَلَبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَ جَنَّةِ الْمَأْوَى وَ الْعَرْشِ الْأَعْلَى وَ الْكَأْسِ الْأَوْفَى وَ الْعَيْشِ الْأَهْنَإِ قُلْنَا فَمَنْ يُغَسِّلُكَ قَالَ أَخِي وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِيَ الْأَدْنَى فَالْأَدْنَى‏.

We said, ‘When, O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj, would be yoursaww expiry?’ Hesaww said: ‘The expiry has drawn near and the transfer is to Allahazwj and to Al-Sidrat Al-Muntaha, and the Garden of Al-Ma’wa, and the Exalted Throne, and cup filled to the brim, and the welcoming life’. We said, ‘So, who will be washing yousaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Mysaww brother and Peopleasws of mysaww Household. The lowest is the lowest’’.⁵³⁸

When heasws came, hesaww moved aside the cloth which was upon himsaww, then included himasws in it. Hesaww did not cease to embrace himasws until hesaww passed away, and hissaww hand was upon himasws’’.⁵³⁹

(The book) ‘Illal al Sharaie’ – Majaylawiya, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed Al Sayrafi, from Aban Bin Usman,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws having said: ‘When the expiry presented to Rasool-Allahsaww, hesaww called Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib, and Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

فَقَالَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ يَا عَمَّ مُحَمَّدٍ تَأْخُذُ تُرَاثَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ وَ تُنْجِزُ عِدَاتِهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ كَثِيرُ الْعِيَالِ قَلِيلُ الْمَالِ مَنْ يُطِيقُكَ وَ أَنْتَ تُبَارِي الرِّيحَ

Hesaww said to Al-Abbas: ‘O uncle of Muhammadsaww! Take the inheritance of Muhammadsaww and pay back hissaww debts and fulfil hissaww promises made’. He replied to himsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I am an old man with a lot of dependants and of little wealth. Who can bear yousaww and yousaww are a raging wind?’

قَالَ فَأَطْرَقَ ع هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَبَّاسُ أَ تَأْخُذُ تُرَاثَ‏ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ تُنْجِزُ عِدَاتِهِ وَ تُؤَدِّي دَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَنَا شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ كَثِيرُ الْعِيَالِ قَلِيلُ الْمَالِ مَنْ يُطِيقُكَ وَ أَنْتَ تُبَارِي الرِّيحَ

Heasws said: ‘Hesaww lowered hissaww head for a while, then said: ‘O Abbas! Will you take the inheritance of Rasool-Allahsaww and fulfil hissaww promises made and pay off hissaww debts?’ He said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww! I am an old man with a lot of dependants, of little wealth. Who are bear yousaww and yousaww are a raging wind?’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَّا أَنَا سَأُعْطِيهَا مَنْ يَأْخُذُ بِحَقِّهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا أَخَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَ تُنْجِزُ عِدَاتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقْضِي دَيْنَهُ وَ تَأْخُذُ تُرَاثَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي‏

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘As for Isaww, Isaww shall give it to the one who will take it by its right’. Then hesaww said: ‘O brotherasws of Muhammadsaww! Will youasws fulfil the promises of Muhammadsaww and pay back hissaww debts, and take hissaww inheritance?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, may myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww’.

قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى نَزَعَ خَاتَمَهُ مِنْ إِصْبَعِهِ فَقَالَ تَخَتَّمْ بِهَذَا فِي حَيَاتِي

Heasws said: ‘Hesaww looked at himasws until hesaww removed hissaww ring from hissaww finger and said: ‘Wear this during mysaww lifetime’.

قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْخَاتَمِ حِينَ وَضَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع فِي إِصْبَعِهِ الْيُمْنَى فَصَاحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا بِلَالُ عَلَيَّ بِالْمِغْفَرِ وَ الدِّرْعِ وَ الرَّايَةِ وَ سَيْفِي ذِي الْفَقَارِ وَ عِمَامَتِي السَّحَابِ وَ الْبُرْدِ وَ الْأَبْرَقَةِ وَ الْقَضِيبِ‏

Heasws said: ‘Heasws looked at the ring, when Aliasws placed it in hisasws finger of the right hand. Rasool-Allahsaww shouted: ‘O Bilal! To mesaww with the helmet, and the armour, and the flag, and mysaww sword Zulfiqar, and mysaww white turban, and the cloak, and the pitcher, and the staff!’

فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُهَا قَبْلَ سَاعَتِي تِيكَ يَعْنِي الْأَبْرَقَةَ كَادَتْ تَخْطَفُ الْأَبْصَارَ فَإِذَا هِيَ مِنْ أَبْرُقِ الْجَنَّةِ

By Allahazwj! Iasws had not seen it before that time of mineasws, meaning the pitcher which almost snatched away the vision, for it is from the pitchers of the Paradise.

فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي بِهَا فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ اجْعَلْهَا فِي حَلْقَةِ الدِّرْعِ وَ اسْتَوْفِرْ بِهَا مَكَانَ الْمِنْطَقَةِ

Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Jibraeelas came with it to mesaww and said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Make it to be in a ring of the armour, locate it in the place of the belt’.

ثُمَّ دَعَا بِزَوْجَيْ نِعَالٍ عَرَبِيَّيْنِ إِحْدَاهُمَا مَخْصُوفَةٌ وَ الْأُخْرَى غَيْرُ مَخْصُوفَةٍ وَ الْقَمِيصِ الَّذِي أُسْرِيَ بِهِ فِيهِ وَ الْقَمِيصِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ فِيهِ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَ الْقَلَانِسِ الثَّلَاثِ قَلَنْسُوَةِ السَّفَرِ وَ قَلَنْسُوَةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ‏ وَ قَلَنْسُوَةٍ كَانَ‏ يَلْبَسُهَا وَ يَقْعُدُ مَعَ أَصْحَابِهِ

Then hesaww called for a pair of Arabian slippers, one of them having been repaired and the other without repair, and the shirt in which hesaww had ascended with (to the sky), and the shirt in which hesaww went out on the day of Ohad, and the three caps – a cap for the travelling, and a cap for the two Eids, and a cap which hesaww used to wear and sit with hissaww companions.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا بِلَالُ عَلَيَّ بِالْبَغْلَتَيْنِ الشَّهْبَاءِ وَ الدُّلْدُلِ وَ النَّاقَتَيْنِ الْعَضْبَاءِ وَ الصَّهْبَاءِ وَ الْفَرَسَيْنِ- الْجَنَاحِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُوقَفُ بِبَابِ مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لِحَوَائِجِ النَّاسِ يَبْعَثُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الرَّجُلَ فِي حَاجَتِهِ فَيَرْكَبُهُ‏ وَ حَيْزُومٍ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَقُولُ أَقْدِمْ حَيْزُومُ وَ الْحِمَارِ الْيَعْفُورِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Bilal! To mesaww with the two mules, Al Shahba’a and al Duldul, and the two she-camels, Al Azba’a and al Sahba’a, and the two horses - A’ Janah, which used to pause at the door of the Masjid of Rasool-Allahsaww for the need of the people. Rasool-Allahsaww would send the man regarding hissaww needs, so he would ride it; and Hayzoum, and it is which it is said ‘oldest Hayzoum’; and the donkey Al Yafour’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ اقْبِضْهَا فِي حَيَاتِي حَتَّى لَا يُنَازِعَكَ فِيهَا أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Take possession of these during mysaww lifetime until no one can snatch these away from youasws after mesaww’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ أَوَّلَ شَيْ‏ءٍ مَاتَ مِنَ الدَّوَابِّ حِمَارُهُ الْيَعْفُورُ تُوُفِّيَ سَاعَةَ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَطَعَ خِطَامَهُ ثُمَّ مَرَّ يَرْكُضُ وَ أَتَى‏ بِئْرَ بَنِي خَطْمَةَ بِقُبَا فَرَمَى بِنَفْسِهِ فِيهَا فَكَانَتْ قَبْرَهُ

Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The first thing from the animals which died was the donkey Al-Yafour. It died at the time Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, cutting its halter, then it passed by running and came to a well of the clan of Khatma at Quba and threw itself into it, and it became its grave’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ يَعْفُورَ كَلَّمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي إِنَّ أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ نُوحٍ فِي السَّفِينَةِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ يَوْماً نُوحٌ ع وَ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِ هَذَا الْحِمَارِ حِمَارٌ يَرْكَبُهُ سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ خَاتَمُهُمْ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنِي ذَلِكَ الْحِمَارَ.

Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Yafour spoke to Rasool-Allahsaww and it said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww! My father narrated to me from his father from his grandfather that he was with Noahas in the ship. One day Noahas looked at him and wiped hisas hand upon his face, then said: ‘There will come out from the loins of this donkey, a donkey which will be rode upon by the Chief of the Prophetsas, and theiras last one’, and the praise is for Allahazwj Who Made me to be that donkey’’.⁵⁴⁰

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim – Ubeyd Bin Kaseer transmitting from Jabir Al-Ansari who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to (Syeda) Fatimaasws during hissaww illness in which hesaww passed away: ‘May mysaww fatheras and mysaww motheras be (sacrificed) for youasws! Send someone to yourasws husband and call himasws to mesaww’. (Syeda) Fatimaasws said to Al-Husaynasws: ‘Go to yourasws fatherasws and say: ‘Myasws grandfathersaww is calling youasws’.

قَالَ فَانْطَلَقَ إِلَيْهِ الْحُسَيْنُ‏ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ فَاطِمَةُ ع عِنْدَهُ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ وَا كَرْبَاهْ لِكَرْبِكَ يَا أَبَتَاهْ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Al-Husaynasws went to himasws and called himasws. Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws came until heasws entered to see Rasool-Allahsaww, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws was in hissaww presence and sheasws was saying: ‘Oh its distress to yoursaww anguish, O fathersaww!’

فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا كَرْبَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص لَا يُشَقُّ عَلَيْهِ الْجَيْبُ وَ لَا يُخْمَشُ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجْهُ وَ لَا يُدْعَى عَلَيْهِ بِالْوَيْلِ وَ لَكِنْ قُولِي كَمَا قَالَ أَبُوكِ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ تَدْمَعُ الْعَيْنَانِ وَ قَدْ يُوجَعُ الْقَلْبُ وَ لَا نَقُولُ مَا يُسْخِطُ الرَّبَّ وَ إِنَّا بِكَ يَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَمَحْزُونُونَ وَ لَوْ عَاشَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لَكَانَ نَبِيّاً

Rasool-Allahsaww said to herasws: ‘There will be no distress upon yourasws fathersaww after today, O Fatimaasws! The Prophetsaww, neither will the pocket be torn upon himsaww, not with the face be scratched upon himsaww, nor will the woe be called for upon himsaww, but say just as yourasws fathersaww said upon Ibrahimas (hissaww sonas): ‘The eyes weep and the heart is pained, and wesaww do not say what Angers the Lordazwj, and wesaww are with youas, O Ibrahimas, in grief’, and had Ibrahimas lived, heas would have been a Prophetas’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ أَدْخِلْ أُذُنَكَ فِي فِيَّ فَفَعَلَ فَقَالَ يَا أَخِي أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Come closer to mesaww!’ Heasws went closer to himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘Enter yourasws ear into (to be near) mysaww mouth’. Heasws did so. Hesaww said: ‘O mysaww brotherasws! Did youasws not hear the Words of Allahazwj in Hisazwj Book: Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7].

قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هُمْ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ يَجِيئُونَ غُرّاً مُحَجَّلِينَ شِبَاعاً مَرْوِيِّينَ

Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘They are youasws and yourasws Shias. They will be coming as resplendent (of faces), satiated, saturated’.

أَ وَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ فِي كِتَابِهِ‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدِينَ فِيها أُولئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Have youasws not heard the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic in Hisazwj Book: Surely those who commit Kufr from the People of the Book and the Polytheists would be in Fire of Hell, being eternally therein. Those, they are the worst of the Created beings [98:6]?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ هُمْ عَدُوُّكَ وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ يَجُوزُونَ‏ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ظِمَاءً مُظْمَئِينَ أَشْقِيَاءَ مُعَذَّبِينَ كُفَّاراً مُنَافِقِينَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ وَ لِشِيعَتِكَ وَ هَذَا لِعَدُوِّكَ وَ لِشِيعَتِهِمْ- هَكَذَا رَوَى جَابِرٌ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘They are yourasws enemies and enemies of yourasws Shias, who will be coming on the Day of Judgement, with blackened faces, extremely thirsty, miserable, Tormented, Kafirs, hypocrites. That, would be for youasws and yourasws Shias, and this, would be for yourasws enemies and their adherents’. – This is how it has been reported from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari’’.⁵⁴¹

‘Al-Amsh came to Suleyman Bin Mihran to ask him about the successor of Rasool-Allahsaww. He said, ‘I went to Muhammad Bin Abdullah and asked him and he said, ‘He narrated to be from Zayd son of Aliasws (Bin Al-Husaynasws) who said, ‘When the expiry presented to Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww head was in a lap of Aliasws and the house was filled with the ones in it, from the Emigrants and the Helpers, and Al-Abbas was sitting in hissaww front.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abbas! Do you accept mysaww bequest and pay back mysaww debts and fulfil mysaww promises made?’ He said, ‘I am a person of old age, a lot of dependants, there is no wealth for me’. Hesaww repeated to him thrice, during all that he rebutted upon himsaww.

Do youasws accept mysaww bequest and pay back mysaww debts and fulfil mysaww promises made?’ The tears choked himasws and heasws was not able to answer himsaww, and heasws had seen the head of Rasool-Allahsaww go and come (faint and wake up) in hisasws lap.

17- ل، الخصال الثَّلَاثَةُ عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: جَاءَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع حِينَ دَفَنَ فَاطِمَةَ ع فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ لَهُمَا فِيهِ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُمَا أَنِّي لَمْ أُشْهِدْكُمَا أَمْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَرَى عَوْرَتِي أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ إِلَّا ذَهَبَ بَصَرُهُ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُرِيَكُمَا بِهِ لِذَلِكَ

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – The three, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Al Haris Bin al Mugheira,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Bakr and Umar came to Amir Al Momineenasws when heasws had buried (Syeda) Fatimaasws’ – in a lengthy Hadeeth, heasws said to them in it: ‘As for what you two are mentioning that Iasws did not attend you two in the matter of Rasool-Allahsaww for hesaww had said: ‘No one would look at mysaww privacy except his sight would go away, therefore Iasws did not happen to show you two for that (reason).

وَ أَمَّا إِكْبَابِي عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ عَلَّمَنِي أَلْفَ حَرْفٍ الْحَرْفُ يَفْتَحُ أَلْفَ حَرْفٍ فَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَطَّلِعَكُمَا عَلَى سِرِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

And as for myasws being devoted to himsaww, hesaww taught measws a thousand letters, the letter (from it) opening a thousand letters. So, Iasws was not going to notify (divulge) to you both upon the secret of Rasool-Allahsaww’’.⁵⁵⁴

(The book) Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Al Bazanty, from Aban Bin Usman, from Isa Bin Abdullah and Sabit, from Hanzala,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘One day Rasool-Allahsaww addressed after having prayed Al-Fajr (Salat) in the Masjid and upon himsaww was a black shirt. Hesaww enjoined (good) during it, and forbade (from the evil) and advised during it and mentioned, then said: ‘O Fatimaasws! Do it, for Isaww do not control anything from Allahazwj!’

وَ سَمِعَ النَّاسُ صَوْتَهُ وَ تَسَارُّوا وَ مَرْأَى‏ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ سَمْعِهِمْ نِسَاءَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْجُدُرِ فَهُنَ‏ يَمْشِطْنَ وَ قُلْنَ قَدْ بَرِئَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

And the people heard hissaww voice and they whispered to each other and Rasool-Allahsaww saw and heard them, and hissaww wives were heard from behind the walls and they were combing (their hair) and saying, ‘We are free from Rasool-Allahsaww!’’

فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع تُوُفِّيَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ مَا يَرْوِيهِ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ عَلَّمَ عَلِيّاً ع أَلْفَ بَابٍ كُلُّ بَابٍ فَتَحَ أَلْفَ بَابٍ قَالَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَبْلَ يَوْمَئِذٍ.

I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Hesaww passed away on that day?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So where is what the people are reporting that hesaww taught Aliasws a thousand doors, each door opening a thousand door?’ Heasws said: ‘That happened before that day’’.⁵⁵⁵

19 عم، إعلام الورى شا، الإرشاد ثم كان مما أكد النبي ص لأمير المؤمنين ع من الفضل و تخصصه منه بجليل رتبته ما تلا حجة الوداع من الأمور المجددة لرسول الله ص و الأحداث التي اتفقت بقضاء الله و قدره و ذلك أنه ص تحقق من دنو أجله ما كان قدم الذكر به لأمته

(The books) ‘Alaam Al-Wara’ (and) ‘Al-Irshad’ – Then it was from what the Prophetsaww emphasised for Amir Al-Momineenasws from the merits and specialising himasws of it with the majesty of hisasws rank what followed the farewell Hajj from the renewal to Rasool-Allahsaww and the events which concurred with the Decrees of Allahazwj and Hisazwj pre-determination, and that is the reality of the approach of hissaww expiry, hesaww checked what hesaww had forwarded the mentioned to hissaww community.

فجعل ع يقوم مقاما بعد مقام في المسلمين يحذرهم الفتنة بعده و الخلاف عليه و يؤكد وصايتهم بالتمسك بسنته و الإجماع‏ عليها و الوفاق و يحثهم على الاقتداء بعترته و الطاعة لهم و النصرة و الحراسة و الاعتصام بهم في الدين و يزجرهم عن الاختلاف و الارتداد

Hesaww went on to stand at place after place among the Muslims cautioning them of the Fitna (strife) to occur after himsaww, and the differing upon it, and confirmed teaching them to be adhering with hissaww Sunnah and the uniting upon it, and the harmony, and hesaww urged them upon following the example of hissaww familyasws and being obedient to them, and the help and the protection and clinging with them in the Religion and rebuking them upon the differing, and the reneging.

و كان فيما ذكره من ذلك ما جاءت به الرواية على اتفاق و اجتماع قوله يا أيها الناس إني فرطكم و أنتم واردون علي الحوض ألا و إني سائلكم عن الثقلين فانظروا كيف تخلفوني فيهما فإن اللطيف الخبير نبأني أنهما لن يفترقا حتى يلقياني و سألت ربي ذلك فأعطانيه

And it was among what hesaww mentioned, what the reports have come with upon the concordance and the unison are hissaww words: ‘O you people! Isaww will miss you all and you will be coming to mesaww at the Fountain. Indeed! And Isaww shall ask you about the two weighty things, therefore look how you are replacing mesaww regarding these two, for the Subtle, the Informed has Informed mesaww that these two will never separate until they meet mesaww, and Isaww asked mysaww Lordazwj that and Heazwj Gave it to mesaww.

ألا و إني قد تركتهما فيكم كتاب الله و عترتي أهل بيتي فلا تسبقوهم فتفرقوا و لا تقصروا عنهم فتهلكوا و لا تعلموهم فإنهم أعلم منكم

Indeed! And Isaww am leaving these two behind among you all – Book of Allahazwj and mysaww familyasws, the Peopleasws of the Household, so do not precede themasws for you will separate, neither be deficient about themasws for you will be destroyed, nor try to teach themasws for theyasws are more knowledgeable that you all.

أيها الناس لا ألفينكم بعدي ترجعون كفارا يضرب بعضكم‏ رقاب بعض فتلقوني في كتيبة كمجر السيل الجرار ألا و إن علي بن أبي طالب أخي و وصيي يقاتل بعدي على تأويل القرآن كما قاتلت على تنزيله

O you people! The generality of you after mesaww would be returning as Kafirs, striking the necks of each other, so you will meet mesaww among a group flowing like the flow of the torrent. Indeed! And surely Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is mysaww brother and mysaww successorasws. Heasws will fight after mesaww upon the interpretation of the Quran just as Isaww fought upon its Revelation’.

فكان ص يقوم مجلسا بعد مجلس بمثل هذا الكلام و نحوه ثم إنه عقد لأسامة بن زيد بن حارثة الإمرة و أمره و ندبه أن يخرج بجمهور الأمة إلى حيث أصيب أبوه من بلاد الروم و اجتمع رأيه على إخراج جماعة من مقدمي‏ المهاجرين و الأنصار في معسكره حتى لا يبقى في المدينة عند وفاته من يختلف في الرئاسة

Hesaww used to establish gathering after gathering with the like of this speech and approximate to it. Then hesaww tied the command for Asama Bin Zayd Bin Haris and ordered him and authorised him to go out with the crowd of the community to where his father had been killed from the city of Rome; and there is unison of the opinions upon a group from the frontmen of the Emigrants and the Helpers going out until there did not remain in Al-Medina during hissaww expiry anyone who could oppose regarding the governance.

و يطمع في التقدم على الناس بالإمارة و يستتبّ‏ الأمر لمن استخلفه من بعده و لا ينازعه في حقه منازع فعقد له الإمرة على ما ذكرناه و جد في إخراجهم و أمر أسامة بالبروز عن المدينة بمعسكره إلى الجرف و حث الناس على الخروج إليه‏ و المسير معه و حذرهم من التلوم و الإبطاء عنه

And hesaww coveted in the proceeding to the people with the emirate and settling the command for the one who would replace himsaww and no snatcher would snatch himasws of hisasws right. So, hesaww tightened the emirate for himasws upon what we have mentioned and worked in sending them out and ordered Asama with the marching from Al-Medina with his army to the cliff and urged the people upon going out to him, and the travelling with him, and cautioned the ones who complained and delayed from it.

فبينا هو في ذلك إذ عرضت له الشكاة التي توفي فيها فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِالْمَرَضِ الَّذِي عَرَاهُ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ اتَّبَعَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَقَالَ لِلَّذِي اتَّبَعَهُ إِنَّنِي قَدْ أُمِرْتُ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ

While hesaww was in that when the (health) complaint presented to himsaww in which hesaww passed away. When hesaww felt the illness which befell himasws, hesaww grabbed a hand of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and a group from the people followed himsaww and headed towards Al-Baqie (cemetery) . Hesaww said to those who followed himsaww: ‘Isaww have been Commanded with seeking the Forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqie’.

فَانْطَلَقُوا مَعَهُ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِهِمْ وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ لِيَهْنِئْكُمْ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا فِيهِ النَّاسُ أَقْبَلَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَتْبَعُ آخِرُهَا أَوَّلَهَا

They went with himsaww until hesaww paused between their midst and said: ‘The greetings be upon you people of the graves! Congratulations to you of what you have come to be in from what the people are (indulging) in. The Fitna (strife) shall come like a piece of the dark night, its end will follow its beginning’.

ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَقِيعِ طَوِيلًا وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع كَانَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيَّ الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً وَ قَدْ عَرَضَهُ عَلَيَّ الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ لَا أَرَاهُ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي

Then hesaww sought Forgiveness for the people of Al-Baqie for a long time, and (then) faced towards Amir Al-Momineenasws and said: ‘Jibraeelas has been presenting the Quran unto mesaww once every year and heas has presented to mesaww twice this year, and Isaww do not view it except as the presenting of mysaww expiry’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي خُيِّرْتُ بَيْنَ خَزَائِنِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْخُلُودِ فِيهَا أَوْ الْجَنَّةِ فَاخْتَرْتُ لِقَاءَ رَبِّي وَ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاسْتُرْ عَوْرَتِي‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أُكْمِهَ

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Isaww was Given a choice between two treasures – the world and the eternity in it, or the Paradise, so Isaww chose meeting mysaww Lordazwj and the Paradise. So, when Isaww pass away, then cover mysaww private parts for no one would see it except he would be blinded’.

ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَمَكَثَ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ مَوْعُوكاً ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ مَعْصُوبَ الرَّأْسِ مُعْتَمِداً عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِيُمْنَى يَدَيْهِ وَ عَلَى الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بِالْيَدِ الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ

Then hesaww returned to hissaww house and stayed for three days being unwell. Then hesaww came out to the Masjid (on Wednesday), bandaged of the head, leaning upon Amir Al Momineenasws with hissaww right hand and upon Al-Fazl Bin Abbas with the other hand, until hesaww ascended the Pulpit and sat upon it.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ وَ قَدْ حَانَ مِنِّي خُفُوقٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدِي عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنِي أُعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيَّ دَيْنٌ فَلْيُخْبِرْنِي بِهِ

Then hesaww said: ‘O group of people! And a disappointment as come from mesaww from your midst, so the one who has any grievance for him with mesaww, the let him come to mesaww, Isaww shall give it to him, and one who had any debt for him upon mesaww, let him inform mesaww with it.

مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ شَيْ‏ءٌ يُعْطِيهِ بِهِ خَيْراً أَوْ يَصْرِفُ عَنْهُ بِهِ شَرّاً إِلَّا الْعَمَلُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا يَدَّعِي مُدَّعٍ وَ لَا يَتَمَنَّى مُتَمَنٍّ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَا يُنْجِي إِلَّا عَمَلٌ مَعَ رَحْمَةٍ وَ لَوْ عَصَيْتُ لَهَوَيْتُ اللَّهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ

Group of people! There isn’t anything between Allahazwj and anyone Heazwj could be Given good with it or evil Turned away from him by it, except for the deeds. O you people! No claimant can claim nor can a wisher wish (for it). By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww! There is not salvation except deeds with Mercy, and if Isaww had disobeyed, Isaww would have fallen. O Allahazwj! Have Isaww delivered?’

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ صَلَاةً خَفِيفَةً ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ و كان إذ ذاك في بيت أم سلمة رضي الله عنها فأقام به يوما أو يومين فجاءت عائشة إليها تسألها أن تنقله إلى بيتها لتتولى تعليله و سألت أزواج النبي ص في ذلك فأذن لها فانتقل إلى البيت الذي أسكنه عائشة و استمر به المرض فيه أياما و ثقل

Then hesaww descended and Prayed a light Salat leading the people, then entered hissaww house, and it so happened, that was in the house of Umm Salamara. Hesaww stayed there for a day or two and Ayesha came to herra and asked herra to transfer himsaww to her house in order to take charge of hissaww illness, and the wives of the Prophetsaww asked regarding that, so hesaww permitted for herra. Hesaww was transferred the house which Ayesha dwelling in and the illness lasted in it for days, and got worse.

فجاء بلال عند صلاة الصبح و رسول الله ص مغمور بالمرض فنادى الصلاة يرحمكم الله فأؤذن رسول الله بندائه فقال يصلي بالناس بعضهم فإني مشغول بنفسي فقالت عائشة مروا أبا بكر و قالت حفصة مروا عمر

Bilal came during the morning Salat and Rasool-Allahsaww was immersed in the illness. He, may Allahazwj have Mercy on him, called for the Salat. Rasool-Allahsaww recited Azaan to his call. One of them should lead the people with the Salat for Isaww am pre-occupied with myselfsaww’. Ayesha said, ‘Instruct Abu Bakr’, and Hafsa said, ‘Instruct Umar’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ سَمِعَ كَلَامَهُمَا وَ رَأَى حِرْصَ كُلِّ واحد [وَاحِدَةٍ] مِنْهُمَا عَلَى التَّنْوِيهِ بِأَبِيهَا وَ افْتِتَانَهُمَا بِذَلِكَ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَيٌّ اكْفُفْنَ فَإِنَّكُنَّ صُوَيْحِبَاتُ يُوسُفَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said when hesaww heard their speech, ‘And Isaww see greed of each one of them upon the indication of her father and their blind fascination with that and Rasool-Allahsaww is still alive, you are (like) companions of Yusufas’.

ثم قام ص مبادرا خوفا من تقدم أحد الرجلين و قد كان ص أمرهما بالخروج مع أسامة و لم يك عنده أنهما قد تخلفا فلما سمع من عائشة و حفصة ما سمع علم أنهما متأخران عن أمره فبدر لكف الفتنة و إزالة الشبهة

Then hesaww stood initiating, fearing the proceeding of one of the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar), and hesaww had already ordered them with the going out with Usama and not to be with himsaww. They had both opposed. When hesaww heard from Ayesha and Hafsa what hesaww heard, hesaww knew that they had both delayed from hissaww command. So, hesaww hastened to stop the Fitna and remove the doubts.

فقام ص و إنه لا يستقل على الأرض من الضعف فأخذ بيده علي بن أبي طالب و الفضل بن العباس فاعتمد عليهما و رجلاه يخطان الأرض من الضعف

Hesaww stood up, and hesaww could not stand upon the ground from the weakness. So, hesaww held the hands of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas and relied upon them, and hissaww legs were dragging on the ground from the weakness.

فلما خرج إلى المسجد وجد أبا بكر قد سبق إلى المحراب فأومأ إليه بيده أن تأخر عنه فتأخر أبو بكر و قام رسول الله ص مقامه فكبر و ابتدأ الصلاة التي كان ابتدأها أبو بكر و لم يبن على ما مضى من فعاله

When hesaww went out to the Masjid, hesaww found Abu Bakr to have preceded to the prayer niche. Hesaww gestured to him with hissaww hand to delay from it. Abu Bakr delayed, and Rasool-Allahsaww stood in his place and exclaimed Takbeer, and began the Salat which Abu Bakr had already begun, and it did not build continuing from his deed.

فلما سلم انصرف إلى منزله وَ اسْتَدْعَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرَ وَ جَمَاعَةَ مَنْ حَضَرَ الْمَسْجِدَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَمْ آمُرْ أَنْ تُنَفِّذُوا جَيْشَ أُسَامَةَ فَقَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَلِمَ تَأَخَّرْتُمْ عَنْ أَمْرِي

When hesaww greeted (finished), hesaww left to go to hissaww house, and called Abu Bakr, and Umar and a group of the ones from the Muslims who were present in the Masjid, then said: ‘Did Isaww not order you to go with the army of Usama?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. Hesaww said: ‘So, why did you delay from mysaww order?’

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنِّي كُنْتُ قَدْ خَرَجْتُ ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ لِأُجَدِّدَ بِكَ‏ عَهْداً وَ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَمْ أَخْرُجْ لِأَنَّنِي لَمْ أُحِبَّ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عَنْكَ الرَّكْبَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص نَفِّذُوا جَيْشَ أُسَامَةَ نَفِّذُوا جَيْشَ أُسَامَةَ يُكَرِّرُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

Abu Bakr said, ‘I had gone out, then returned to renew the pact with yousaww’. And Umar said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I did not go out because I did not like to as the riders about yousaww (yoursaww health). The Prophetsaww said: ‘Go to the army of Usama! Go to the army of Usama!’ – repeating it three times.

ثم أغمي عليه من التعب الذي لحقه و الأسف‏ فمكث هنيهة مغمى عليه و بكى المسلمون و ارتفع النحيب من أزواجه و ولده و نساء المسلمين‏ و جميع من حضر من المسلمين

Then there was unconsciousness upon him due to tiredness and the unhappiness which hesaww faced. Hesaww remained for a while with unconsciousness upon him, and the Muslims cried, and there arose the wailing, from hissaww wives and hissaww children and the women of the Muslims and the ones present from the Muslims.

فَأَفَاقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمْ ثُمَ‏ قَالَ ايتُونِي بِدَوَاةٍ وَ كَتِفٍ لِأَكْتُبَ لَكُمْ كِتَاباً لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً ثم أغمي عليه

Rasool-Allahsaww woke up and looked at them, then said: ‘Bring mesaww ink and a shoulder (bone to write upon), Isaww shall write out a letter for you, you will not go astray after it, ever!’ Then there was unconsciousness upon himsaww.

فقام بعض من حضر يلتمس دواة و كتفا فقال له عمر ارجع فإنه يهجر فرجع و ندم من حضر على ما كان منهم من التضجيع في إحضار الدواة و الكتف و تلاوموا بينهم و قالوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ‏ لقد أشفقنا من خلاف رسول الله ص

One of the ones present stood up seeking ink and a shoulder bone. Umar said to him, ‘Return, for hesaww is senile’. He returned, and the ones presented regretted upon what had happened from them from the deficiency in presented the ink and the shoulder bone, and they blamed between them, and they said, ‘We are for Allahazwj and we are returning to Himazwj, we regret from opposing Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ ص قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَ لَا نَأْتِيكَ بِدَوَاةٍ وَ كَتِفٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَ بَعْدَ الَّذِي‏ قُلْتُمْ لَا وَ لَكِنِّي أُوصِيكُمْ بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي خَيْراً وَ أَعْرَضَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَنِ الْقَوْمِ فنهضوا و بقي عنده العباس و الفضل بن العباس و علي بن أبي طالب و أهل بيته خاصة

When hesaww woke up, one of them said, ‘Shall I bring yousaww ink and a shoulder bone, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Remote is that which you are saying (that Isaww am senile). No, but Isaww shall bequeath to you all to be good with the Peopleasws of mysaww Household’, and hesaww turned hissaww face away from the people. They arose and there remained with himsaww Al-Abbas, and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas, and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and hissaww family members in particular.

فقال له العباس يا رسول الله إن يكن هذا الأمر فينا مستقرا من بعدك فبشرنا و إن كنت تعلم أنا نغلب عليه فأوص بنا فقال أنتم المستضعفون من بعدي و أصمت

Al-Abbas said to himsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! If this matter is to transpire among us, settling from after yousaww, so give us the glad tidings and even if yousaww know that we would be overcome upon. Advise us’. Hesaww said: ‘You all would be weakened from after mesaww, and remain silent’.

فنهض القوم و هم يبكون قد يئسوا من النبي ص فلما خرجوا من عنده قَالَ ص رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ أَخِي وَ عَمِّيَ الْعَبَّاسَ فَأَنْفَذُوا مَنْ دَعَاهُمَا فَحَضَرَا فَلَمَّا اسْتَقَرَّ بِهِمَا الْمَجْلِسُ قَالَ ص‏ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ تَقْبَلُ وَصِيَّتِي وَ تُنْجِزُ عِدَتِي وَ تَقْضِي دَيْنِي

The people arose and they were crying, having despaired from the Prophetsaww. When they went out from hissaww presence, hesaww said: ‘Return mysaww brotherasws to mesaww, and mysaww uncle Al-Abbas’. They sent someone to call them, and they presented. When the gathering calmed down with them, hesaww said: ‘O uncle of Rasool-Allahsaww! Accept mysaww bequest and fulfil mysaww promises and pay back mysaww debts’.

فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَمُّكَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ كَثِيرٍ وَ أَنْتَ تُبَارِي الرِّيحَ سَخَاءً وَ كَرَماً وَ عَلَيْكَ وَعْدٌ لَا يَنْهَضُ بِهِ عَمُّكَ

Al-Abbas said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yoursaww uncle is an old man with a lot of dependants, and yousaww are a raging wind, generous, and benevolent, and upon yousaww are promises yoursaww cannot stand up with’.

فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَخِي تَقْبَلُ وَصِيَّتِي وَ تُنْجِزُ عِدَتِي وَ تَقْضِي عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَ تَقُومُ بِأَمْرِ أَهْلِي مِنْ بَعْدِي فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Hesaww faced towards Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and said to himasws: ‘O mysaww brotherasws! Accept mysaww bequest and fulfil mysaww promises and pay off mysaww debts and stand with the matters of mysaww family from after mesaww’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَضَمَّهُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ نَزَعَ خَاتَمَهُ مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ خُذْ هَذَا فَضَعْهُ فِي يَدِكَ وَ دَعَا بِسَيْفِهِ وَ دِرْعِهِ وَ جَمِيعِ لَأْمَتِهِ فَدَفَعَ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ الْتَمَسَ عِصَابَةً كَانَ يَشُدُّهَا عَلَى بَطْنِهِ إِذَا لَبِسَ سِلَاحَهُ وَ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْحَرْبِ فَجِي‏ءَ بِهَا إِلَيْهِ فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ قَالَ لَهُ امْضِ عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِكَ

Hesaww said to himasws: ‘Come closer to mesaww’. Heasws went near himsaww. Hesaww embraced himasws to himsaww, then removed hissaww ring from hissaww hand and said to himasws: ‘Take this and place it in yourasws hand’, and hesaww called for hissaww sword, and hissaww armour and the entirety of the hissaww belongings and handed that to himasws, and sought a bandage which hesaww used to tie upon hissaww belly when hesaww wore a weapon and went to the war. It was brought to himsaww, and hesaww handed it to Amir Al Momineenasws, and said to himasws: ‘Go upon the Name of Allahazwj, to yourasws house’.

فلما كان من الغد حجب الناس عنه و ثقل في مرضه‏ و كان أمير المؤمنين ع لا يفارقه إلا لضرورة فقام في بعض شئونه فأفاق رسول الله ص إفاقة فافتقد عليا ع فقال و أزواجه حوله ادعوا لي أخي و صاحبي و عاوده الضعف فأصمت

When it was the next morning, hesaww barred the people from himsaww and worsened in hissaww illness, and Amir Al-Momineenasws did not separate from himsaww except for necessity, and stood in one of hissaww affairs. Rasool-Allahsaww woke up and missed Aliasws. Hesaww said, and hissaww wives were around himsaww: ‘Call mysaww brotherasws and mysaww companion for mesaww’, and the weakness came back to himsaww, and hesaww was silent.

فقالت عائشة ادعوا له أبا بكر فدعي و دخل عليه و قعد عند رأسه فلما فتح عينه نظر إليه فأعرض عنه بوجهه فقام أبو بكر فقال لو كان له إلي حاجة لأفضى بها إلي

Ayesha said, ‘Call Abu Bakr for himsaww’. He was called and he entered to see himsaww and sat by hissaww head. When hesaww opened hissaww eyes, looked at him and turned hissaww face away from him. Abu Bake stood up and said, ‘If only there was a need for himsaww to me, then lead it to me’.

فلما خرج أعاد رسول الله ص القول ثانية و قال ادعوا لي أخي و صاحبي فقالت حفصة ادعوا له عمر فدعي فلما حضر و رآه رسول الله ص أعرض عنه فانصرف

When he went out, Rasool-Allahsaww repeated the words for a second time and said: ‘Call mysaww brotherasws and mysaww companionasws to mesaww’. Hafsa said, ‘Call Umar for himsaww’. When he presented and Rasool-Allahsaww saw him, turned away from him, so he left.

ثم قال ادعوا لي أخي و صاحبي فقالت أم سلمة رضي الله عنها ادعوا له عليا ع فإنه لا يريد غيره فدعي أمير المؤمنين ع فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَنَاجاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ قَامَ فَجَلَسَ نَاحِيَةً حَتَّى أَغْفَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

Then hesaww said:’ Call mysaww brotherasws and mysaww companion for mesaww’. Umm Salamara said, ‘Call Aliasws for himsaww for hesaww does not intend other than himasws’. Amir Al-Momineenasws was called. When heasws approached himsaww, hesaww devoted to himasws, and Rasool-Allahsaww whispered to himasws for a long time. Then heasws arose and sat down by the side until Rasool-Allahsaww fell asleep.

فَلَمَّا أَغْفَى خَرَجَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّاسُ مَا الَّذِي أَوْعَزَ إِلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ عَلَّمَنِي أَلْفَ بَابٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَتَحَ لِي كُلُّ بَابٍ أَلْفَ بَابٍ وَ أَوْصَانِي بِمَا أَنَا قَائِمٌ بِهِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى

When Rasool-Allahsaww had fallen asleep, heasws went out, and the people said to himasws, ‘What is that which hesaww instructed to youasws, O Abu Al-Hassanasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Hesaww taught measws a thousand doors of knowledge, each door opening for measws a thousand doors, and advised measws with what Iasws shall be standing with, if Allahazwj the Exalted so Desires’.

ثُمَّ ثَقُلَ وَ حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع حَاضِرٌ عِنْدَهُ فَلَمَّا قَرُبَ خُرُوجُ نَفْسِهِ قَالَ لَهُ ضَعْ يَا عَلِيُّ رَأْسِي فِي حَجْرِكَ فَقَدْ جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَإِذَا فَاضَتْ نَفْسِي فَتَنَاوَلْهَا بِيَدِكَ وَ امْسَحْ بِهَا وَجْهَكَ ثُمَّ وَجِّهْنِي إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ تَوَلَّ أَمْرِي وَ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا تُفَارِقْنِي حَتَّى تُوَارِيَنِي فِي رَمْسِي وَ اسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Then hesaww (illness) worsened and the death presented, and Amir Al-Momineenasws was present with himsaww. When the exit of hissaww soul drew near, hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Place mysaww head in yourasws lap, for the Command of Allahazwj the Exalted has come, so when mysaww soul departs, then grab it (head) with yourasws hand and wipe yourasws face with it, then face mesaww towards the Qiblah and be in charge of mysaww matter, and pray Salat upon mesaww with the first of the people and do not separate from mesaww unto youasws cover mesaww in mysaww grave, and seek Assistance with Allahazwj the Exalted’.

فَأَخَذَ عَلِيٌّ ع رَأْسَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَجْرِهِ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَكَبَّتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع تَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ تَنْدُبُهُ وَ تَبْكِي وَ تَقُولُ‏

وَ أَبْيَضَ يُسْتَسْقَى الْغَمَامُ بِوَجْهِهِ‏

ثِمَالُ الْيَتَامَى عِصْمَةٌ لِلْأَرَامِلِ.

Aliasws grabbed hissaww head and placed it in hisasws lap, and there was unconsciousness upon himsaww. (Syeda) Fatimaasws cried and looked into hissaww face and lamented himsaww and cried, and sheasws said a (couplet): ‘And white is the movement of the cloud with its face leaving behind the orphans, honour of the widows’.

فَفَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَيْنَهُ وَ قَالَ بِصَوْتٍ ضَئِيلٍ يَا بُنَيَّةِ هَذَا قَوْلُ عَمِّكَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَا تَقُولِيهِ وَ لَكِنْ قُولِي‏ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَ فَإِنْ ماتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انْقَلَبْتُمْ عَلى‏ أَعْقابِكُمْ‏

Rasool-Allahsaww opened hissaww eyes and said in a thin voice: ‘O daughterasws! This is the word of yourasws uncle Abu Talibas. Do not say it, but say: ‘And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; so if he dies or is killed will you turn back upon your heels? [3:144]’.

فَبَكَتْ طَوِيلًا فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهَا بِالدُّنُوِّ مِنْهُ فَدَنَتْ مِنْهُ فَأَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا شَيْئاً تَهَلَّلَ وَجْهُهَا لَهُ ثُمَّ قُبِضَ ص وَ يَدُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ حَنَكِهِ فَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ ص فِيهَا فَرَفَعَهَا إِلَى وَجْهِهِ فَمَسَحَهُ بِهَا ثُمَّ وَجَّهَهُ وَ غَمَّضَهُ وَ مَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ وَ اشْتَغَلَ بِالنَّظَرِ فِي أَمْرِهِ

Sheasws cried for a long time, so hesaww gestured to herasws with coming near himsaww. Sheasws went near himsaww, and hesaww divulged a secret to her with something, herasws face radiated to it. Then hesaww passed away, and the right hand of Amir Al-Momineenasws was under hissaww neck, and hissaww soul departed during it. So, heasws raised it towards hisasws face and wiped with it, then turned himsaww and closed hissaww eyes and extended hisas garment upon himsaww and became pre-occupied with the looking into hissaww affair.

فَجَاءَتِ الرِّوَايَةُ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لِفَاطِمَةَ ع مَا الَّذِي أَسَرَّ إِلَيْكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَسُرِّيَ عَنْكِ بِهِ مَا كُنْتِ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ وَ الْقَلَقِ بِوَفَاتِهِ قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّنِي أَوَّلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لُحُوقاً بِهِ وَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ تَطُولَ الْمُدَّةُ لِي بَعْدَهُ حَتَّى أُدْرِكَهُ‏ فَسَرَى ذَلِكَ عَنِّي‏.

The report has come that it was said to (Syeda) Fatimaasws, ‘What is that which Rasool-Allahsaww divulged to youasws and cheered youasws by it of what youasws have been grieving upon and the anxiety with hissaww expiry?’ Sheasws said: ‘Hesaww informed measws and Iasws would be the first one from hissaww family to join up with himsaww, and that the period will never be long with measws after himsaww until Iasws meet himsaww. So, that cheered measws’’.⁵⁵⁶

20- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَ السُّدِّيُ‏ لَمَّا نَزَلَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَ إِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَيْتَنِي أَعْلَمُ مَتَى يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Ibn Abbas and Al-Sudy – ‘When the Words of Allahazwj: You shall pass away and they would be dying [39:30] we Revealed, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘If only Isaww knew when that would happen’.

فَنَزَلَ سُورَةُ النَّصْرِ فَكَانَ يَسْكُتُ بَيْنَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَ الْقِرَاءَةِ بَعْدَ نُزُولِهَا فَيَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Surah al Nasr was Revealed and hesaww used to be silent between the two exclamations of Takbeer and the recitation after its Revelation. Hesaww was saying: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj, and with Hisazwj Praise, Isaww seek Forgiveness of Allahazwj and repent to Himazwj’.

فَقِيلَ لَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّ نَفْسِي نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ بَكَى بُكَاءً شَدِيداً فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ وَ تَبْكِي مِنَ الْمَوْتِ وَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ‏ ما تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَ ما تَأَخَّرَ

It was said to himsaww regarding that. Hesaww said: ‘But it is a news of death for myselfsaww informed to mesaww’. Then hesaww cried with intense crying. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Are yousaww crying from the death and Allahazwj has Forgiven for yousaww what has preceded from your sins and what is delayed, [48:2]?’

قَالَ فَأَيْنَ هَوْلُ الْمُطَّلَعِ وَ أَيْنَ ضَيْقَةُ الْقَبْرِ وَ ظُلْمَةُ اللَّحْدِ وَ أَيْنَ الْقِيَامَةُ وَ الْأَهْوَالُ فَعَاشَ بَعْدَ نُزُولِ هَذِهِ السُّورَةِ عَاماً.

Hesaww said: ‘So where is the emerging horror, and where is the narrowness of the grave, and darkness of the grave, and where is the (Day of) Qiyamah and the terrors?’ Hesaww lived for a year after the Revelation of this Surah’’.

الْأَسْبَابُ وَ النُّزُولُ عَنِ الْوَاحِدِيِّ أَنَّهُ رَوَى عِكْرِمَةُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ غَزْوَةِ حُنَيْنٍ وَ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سُورَةَ الْفَتْحِ قَالَ يَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ.

(The book) ‘Al-Asbaab Wa Al-Nuzool’ – ‘From Al-Wahidy, ‘Ikrimah has reported from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww came back from the battle of Hunayn and Allahazwj Revealed Surah al fat’h, hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and O Fatimaasws: When Help of Allah comes and the victory [110:1] – up to the end of the Chapter’.

وَ قَالَ السُّدِّيُّ وَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ‏ ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ‏ لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ‏ الْآيَةَ فَعَاشَ بَعْدَهَا سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ إِلَى حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فِي الطَّرِيقِ‏ يَسْتَفْتُونَكَ قُلِ اللَّهُ يُفْتِيكُمْ فِي الْكَلالَةِ الْآيَةَ فَسُمِّيَتْ آيَةَ الصَّيْفِ

Al-Sudy and Ibn Abbas said, ‘Then it was Revealed: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. [9:128] – the Verse. Hesaww lived after it for six months. When hesaww went out to the farewell Hajj, it was Revealed unto himsaww in the road: They are asking you for a Fatwa, Say: ‘Allah Gives you a Fatwa regarding the person who has neither parents nor offspring; [4:176] – the Verse. So, it was named as Verse of the summer.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ‏ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِعَرَفَةَ الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ‏ فَعَاشَ بَعْدَهَا أَحَداً وَ ثَمَانِينَ يَوْماً

Then it was Revealed unto himsaww, and heasws had paused at Arafaat: Today I Perfected your Religion for you [5:3]. Hesaww lived after it for eighty one days.

ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ آيَاتُ الرِّبَا ثُمَّ نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَهَا وَ اتَّقُوا يَوْماً تُرْجَعُونَ فِيهِ‏ وَ هِيَ آخِرُ آيَةٍ نَزَلَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَعَاشَ بَعْدَهَا أَحَداً وَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً قَالَ ابْنُ‏ جَرِيحٍ‏ تِسْعَ لَيَالٍ وَ قَالَ ابْنُ جُبَيْرٍ وَ مُقَاتِلٌ سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ

Then it was Revealed unto himasws the Verse of the interest. Then, after it was Revealed: And fear a Day in which you shall be returning [2:281], and it is the last Verse to be Revealed from the sky. Hesaww lived after it for twenty one days. Ibn Jareeh said, ‘Nine nights’, and Ibn Jubeyr and Muqatil said, ‘Seven nights’.

وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى تَسْلِيَةً لِلنَّبِيِّ ص‏ وَ ما مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَّا رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ وَ ما جَعَلْنا لِبَشَرٍ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ الْخُلْدَ أَ فَإِنْ مِتَّ فَهُمُ الْخالِدُونَ‏.

And Allahazwj the Exalted Said to the Prophetsaww: And Muhammad is not except for a Rasool; the Rasools have already passed away before him; [3:144]. And Said: And We did Make the immortality for any human from before you. So if you die, then would they be living eternally? [21:34].

لَمَّا مَرِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ أَوْ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ مِنْ صَفَرٍ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ وَ تَبِعَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْقُبُورِ وَ لْيَهْنِئْكُمْ مَا أَصْبَحْتُمْ فِيهِ مِمَّا فِيهِ النَّاسُ أَقْبَلَتِ الْفِتَنُ كَقِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ يَتْبَعُ آخِرُهَا أَوَّلَهَا إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ كَانَ يَعْرِضُ عَلَيَّ الْقُرْآنَ كُلَّ سَنَةٍ مَرَّةً وَ قَدْ عَرَضَهُ عَلَيَّ الْعَامَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ لَا أَرَاهُ إِلَّا لِحُضُورِ أَجَلِي

When the Prophetsaww fell ill during which hesaww passed away, and that was the day of Saturday, or the day of Sunday of Safar, hesaww grabbed a hand of Aliasws, and a group of hissaww companions followed himsaww, and hesaww headed towards Al-Baqie, then hesaww said: ‘The greetings be upon you inhabitants of the graves, and congratulations to you what you have come to be in from what the people are in. The Fitna (strife) shall come like a piece of the dark night, it beginning following its end. Jibraeelas was presenting the Quran to mesaww once every year, and heas has presented to mesaww twice this year, and Isaww do not view it except as the presenting of mysaww expiry’.

ثُمَّ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ مَعْصُوبَ الرَّأْسِ مُتَّكِئاً عَلَى عَلِيٍّ بِيُمْنَى يَدَيْهِ وَ عَلَى الْفَضْلِ بِالْيَدِ الْأُخْرَى فَصَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ حَانَ مِنِّي خُفُوقٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَظْهُرِكُمْ فَمَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ عِنْدِي عِدَةٌ فَلْيَأْتِنِي أُعْطِهِ إِيَّاهَا وَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عَلَيَّ دَيْنٌ فَلْيُخْبِرْنِي بِهِ

Then hesaww came out on the day of Wednesday, bandaged of head, leaning upon Aliasws with hissaww right hand, and upon Al-Fazl with the other hand. Hesaww ascended the Pulpit, praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘As for after, O you people! A disappointment has come from mesaww from between your midst, so the one who had any grievance with mesaww, so let him come to mesaww, Ias shall give to him, and the one who had a debt for him upon mesaww, so let him inform mesaww with it’.

فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي عِنْدَكَ عِدَةً إِنِّي تَزَوَّجْتُ فَوَعَدْتَنِي أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي ثَلَاثَةَ أَوَاقِيَّ فَقَالَ انْحَلْهَا يَا فَضْلُ ثُمَّ نَزَلَ

A man stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! There is a grievance for me with yousaww. I got married and yousaww had promised me that yousaww will give me three ounces (of gold)’. Give it, O Fazl!’ Then hesaww descended.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَخَطَبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَعَاشِرَ أَصْحَابِي أَيَّ نَبِيٍّ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ أَ لَمْ أُجَاهِدْ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا أَوْرَدْنَا فِي بَابِ وَفَاتِهِ ص.

When it was the day of Friday, hesaww ascended the Pulpit and addressed, then said: ‘O group of mysaww companions! Which Prophetsaww was Isaww to you all. Did Isaww not fight in your midst?’ – up to the end of what we reported in the Chapter of Hisazwj expiry’’.⁵⁵⁷

21- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب ابْنُ بَطَّةَ وَ الطَّبَرِيُّ وَ مُسْلِمٌ وَ الْبُخَارِيُّ وَ اللَّفْظُ لَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ يَقُولُ‏ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَ مَا يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ ثُمَّ بَكَى حَتَّى بَلَّ دَمْعُهُ الْحَصَى

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Ibn Battah, and Al-Tabary, and Muslim, and Al-Bukhari, and worded for it that he heard Ibn Abbas saying, ‘The day of Thursday! And what is the day of Thursday!’ Then he cried until his tears dropped on the gravel.

فَقَالَ اشْتَدَّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَجَعُهُ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِدَوَاةٍ وَ كَتِفٍ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَاباً لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً فَتَنَازَعُوا وَ لَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَ نَبِيٍّ تَنَازُعٌ فَقَالُوا هَجَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص- و في رواية مسلم و الطبري‏ قالوا إن رسول الله يهجر

He said, ‘The pain intensified with Rasool-Allahsaww on the day of Thursday, so hesaww said: ‘Bring mesaww ink and a shoulder bone, Isaww shall write out such a letter for you, you will never go astray after it, ever!’ They disputed, and a dispute is not befitting in the presence of the Prophetsaww. They said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww has become senile’. And in a report of Muslim and Al-Tabary, ‘They said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is senile’’.

- يونس الديلمي‏ وصى النبي ص فقال قائلهم قد ظل يهجر سيد البشر-

Yunus Al-Daylami – ‘The Prophetsaww wanted to bequeath, so a speaker of theirs said, ‘Senility has shaded the chief of the mortals’.

الْبُخَارِيُّ وَ مُسْلِمٌ فِي خَبَرٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ عُمَرُ النَّبِيُّ قَدْ غَلَبَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَجَعُ وَ عِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ وَ اخْتَصَمُوا مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كِتَاباً لَنْ تَضِلُّوا بَعْدَهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ الْقَوْلُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ اللَّغَطُ وَ الِاخْتِلَافُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ قُومُوا

(The books) ‘Al-Bukhari’ and ‘Muslim’ in a Hadeeth – Umar said, ‘The Prophetsaww has been overcome by the pain and the Quran is with you all. The Book of Allahazwj suffices us’. The people of that house differed and from them was one who said, ‘Approach, Rasool-Allahsaww will write a letter for you, you will never go astray after it’, and from them was one who said the word of what Umar had said. So when the clamour and the differing was a lot in the presence of the Prophetsaww, hesaww said: ‘Arise (to leave)!’

Ibn Abbas said, ‘Calamity of all calamities was what blocked between Rasool-Allahsaww and himsaww writing that letter for them, due to their differing and their clamour’.

مُسْنَدُ أَبِي يَعْلَى وَ فَضَائِلُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فِي خَبَرٍ وَ الَّذِي تَحْلِفُ بِهِ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ أَنْ كَانَ آخِرَ عَهْداً بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيٌّ ع وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَعَثَهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ غَدَاةَ قُبِضَ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ جَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

(The books) ‘Musnad’ of Abu Ya’la (and) ‘Fazail’ of Ahmad, from Umm Salamara in a Hadeeth – ‘By the Oneazwj Umm Salamara swears by, the last one for a time with Rasool-Allahsaww was Aliasws, and Rasool-Allahsaww sent himasws regarding a need, in the morning hesaww passed away. Hesaww was saying: ‘Aliasws has come?’ – Three times.

قَالَ فَجَاءَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَخَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْبَيْتِ لَمَّا عَرَفْنَا أَنَّ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ ع فَكَانَ آخِرَ النَّاسِ بِهِ عَهْداً وَ جَعَلَ يُسَارُّهُ وَ يُنَاجِيهِ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws came before the emergence of the sun. We went out from the house when we realised that for himsaww there was a need for himsaww. Aliasws devoted to himsaww, and heasws was the last of the people with himsaww for a time and went on to divulge secrets to himasws and whispering to himasws.

Al Tabari in (the book) ‘Al Wilayah’, and al Daraqtani in ‘Al Saheeh’, and Al Sam’any in ‘Al fazail’, and a group of Shia men, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al Hassan Abin Al Hassan and Abdullah Bin Abbas, and Abu Saeed Al Khudry, and Abdullah Bin Al Haris, and the words are of Al Saheeh –

‘Ayesha said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said’, and hesaww was in her house, ‘When the death presents, call mysaww beloved to mesaww’. She called Abu Bakr. Hesaww looked at him, then placed down hissaww head, then said: ‘Call mysaww beloved to mesaww’. They called Umar for himsaww. When hesaww looked at him, hesaww said: ‘Call mysaww beloved to mesaww’.

فَقُلْتُ وَيْلَكُمْ ادْعُوا لَهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا يُرِيدُ غَيْرَهُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ أَفْرَجَ الثَّوْبَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَهُ فِيهِ وَ لَمْ يَزَلْ يَحْتَضِنُهُ حَتَّى قُبِضَ وَ يَدُهُ عَلَيْهِ‏.

I said, ‘Woe be unto you all! Call Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws to himsaww. Hesaww does not intend other than himasws. When hesaww said himasws, moved aside the cloth which was upon himsaww then inserted himasws into it and did not cease clinching to himasws until hesaww passed away, and hissaww hand was upon himasws’’.⁵⁵⁸

‘When the expiry presented to the Prophetsaww, and in the house there were men, among them being Umar Bin Al-Khattab. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Come, Isaww shall write out such a letter for you, you will never stray after it, ever!’

فَقَالَ لَا تَأْتُوهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَلَبَهُ الْوَجَعُ وَ عِنْدَكُمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَسْبُنَا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ فَاخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْبَيْتِ وَ اخْتَصَمُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ قَرِّبُوا يَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَقُولُ مَا قَالَ عُمَرُ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ اللَّغَطُ وَ الِاخْتِلَافُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قُومُوا عَنِّي

He (Umar) said, ‘do not give himsaww anything, for there is the pain upon himsaww and the Quran is with you all. The Book of Allahazwj is sufficient for us’. The people of the house differed and they disputed. From them was one who said, ‘Approach, Rasool-Allahsaww will write for you’, and from them was one who said what Umar had said. When the clamour and the differing was a lot, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Arise (to leave) from mesaww!’

قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ وَ كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ الرَّزِيَّةُ كُلُّ الرَّزِيَّةِ مَا حَالَ بَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَنَا ذَلِكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنِ اخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَ لَغَطِهِمْ‏.

‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib, and Al-Fazl Abin Al-Abbas entered to see Rasool-Allahsaww during hissaww illness in which hesaww passed away. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! These Helpers are in the Masjid, their men and their women are crying upon yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘And what makes them cry?’ They said, ‘They are fearing that yousaww might pass away’.

فَقَالَ أَعْطُونِي أَيْدِيَكُمْ فَخَرَجَ فِي مِلْحَفَةٍ وَ عِصَابَةٍ حَتَّى جَلَسَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ فَمَا تُنْكِرُونَ مِنْ مَوْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ أَ لَمْ أُنْعَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ تُنْعَ إِلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ لَوْ خُلِّدَ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي ثُمَّ بُعِثَ إِلَيْهِ لَخُلِّدْتُ فِيكُمْ

Hesaww said: ‘Give mesaww your hands’. Then hesaww went out in a quilt and a bandage (on hissaww head), until hesaww sat upon the Pulpit. Hesaww praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘As for after, O you people! What are you denying from the death of your Prophetsaww? Did Isaww not give the news of death to you all, and you gave the news of death to yourselves? If anyone has lived eternally then send for him, and Isaww will live eternally among you all.

أَلَا إِنِّي لَاحِقٌ بِرَبِّي وَ قَدْ تَرَكْتُ فِيكُمْ مَا إِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا كِتَابُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهُ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً فَلَا تَنَافَسُوا وَ لَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَ لَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَ كُونُوا إِخْوَاناً كَمَا أَمَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ قَدْ خَلَّفْتُ فِيكُمْ عِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ أَنَا أُوصِيكُمْ بِهِمْ

Indeed! Isaww shall be with mysaww Lordazwj, and Isaww am leaving behind among you what if you were to adhere with it, you will never stray – Book of Allahazwj the Exalted between your midst, you are reading it morning and evening, therefore neither compete nor envy nor hate each other and become brothers just as Allahazwj has Commanded you, and Isaww am leaving behind among you mysaww family, the Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and Isaww am bequeathing you with themasws.

ثُمَّ أُوصِيكُمْ بِهَذَا الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُمْ بَلَاءَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِهِ وَ عِنْدَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ لَمْ يُوَسِّعُوا فِي الدِّيَارِ وَ يُشَاطِرُوا الثِّمَارَ وَ يُؤْثِرُوا وَ بِهِمُ الْخَصَاصَةُ فَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْكُمْ أَمْراً يَضُرُّ فِيهِ أَحَداً أَوْ يَنْفَعُهُ فَلْيَقْبَلْ‏ مِنْ مُحْسِنِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ لْيَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ

Then Isaww am bequeathing you with this tribe of the Helpers. You recognise them by their courage in the Presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and in the presence of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and in the presence of the Momineen. Did they not make space in the houses, and shared the fruits, and preferred (others over their own selves) and although the extreme poverty was with them? So the one from you who is in charge of a matter someone is harmed in it or benefit it, let him accept from the benefactor the Helper, and let him overlook from their mistakes’.

وَ كَانَ آخِرَ مَجْلِسٍ جَلَسَهُ حَتَّى لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏.

And it was the last gathering hesaww gathered until hesaww met Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’’.⁵⁶⁰

Then heas said to himsaww: ‘Do you want the return to the world?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, but the lofty friends’.

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said to the Muslims, and they had gathered around himsaww: ‘O you people! There is no Prophetsaww after mesaww, nor any Sunnah after mysaww Sunnah. So the one who claims that, his claim and his innovation would be in the Fire, and the one who claims that, then kill him, and the ones who follow him, they would be in the Fire.

Hesaww sat upon the Pulpit, then said: ‘O you people! Isaww am leaving behind you the two weighty things’, and hesaww was silent. A man stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What are these two weighty things?’ Hesaww got angered until hissaww face reddened, then hesaww settled and said: ‘Isaww did not mention it only and Isaww wanted to inform you all with these two, but due to shortness of breath and Isaww was not able by that reason. An end is in the Hand of Allahazwj, and an end is in your hands, you are working in it such like. Indeed, and it is the Quran, and the smaller weighty thing are the Peopleasws of mysaww Household’.

Then hesaww said: ‘And Isaww swear by Allahazwj, and Isaww am not saying this and the men in the loins of the people of Shirk are more hopeful with mesaww than most of you’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُحِبُّهُمْ عَبْدٌ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ نُوراً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَرِدَ عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُهُمْ عَبْدٌ إِلَّا احْتَجَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

وَ قَدْ بَقِيَتْ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ هِيَ تَمَامُ الْأَمْرِ وَ خَاتِمَةُ الْعَمَلِ الْعَمَلُ مَعَهَا مَقْرُونٌ إِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ لَا أَفْتَرِقَ بَيْنَهُمَا جَمِيعاً لَوْ قِيسَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِشَعْرَةٍ مَا انْقَاسَتْ مَنْ أَتَى بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَ تَرَكَ الْأُخْرَى كَانَ جَاحِداً لِلْأُولَى وَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفاً وَ لَا عَدْلًا

And there has remained one, and it is completion of the matter and the ending of the matter. The deed is paired with it. Isaww view that you should not separate between the two altogether. If there is measured between the two with a hair, it would not be measured. One who comes with one and leaves the other would be a rejecter of the first, and Allahazwj will neither Accept from it an exchange, nor a replacement.

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ لَنَا بِمَعْرِفَتِهَا فَلَا نُمْسِكَ عَنْهَا فَنَضِلَّ وَ نَرْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ النِّعْمَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْ رَسُولِهِ عَلَيْنَا فَقَدْ أَنْقَذَنَا اللَّهُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتَ وَ نَصَحْتَ وَ أَدَّيْتَ وَ كُنْتَ بِنَا رَءُوفاً رَحِيماً شَفِيقاً

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! So where is it for us with understanding these. We shall not move away from it so we would stray and renege from Al Islam, and the Favour is from Allahazwj and from Hisazwj Rasool upon us, for Allahazwj has Saved us from the destruction through you. O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww have delivered, and advised, and fulfilled, and yousaww have been kind with us, merciful, compassionate’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَهُمْ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّ الْكِتَابَ هُوَ الْقُرْآنُ وَ فِيهِ الْحُجَّةُ وَ النُّورُ وَ الْبُرْهَانُ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ جَدِيدٌ غَضٌّ طَرِيٌّ شَاهِدٌ وَ مُحْكَمٌ عَادِلٌ وَ لَنَا قَائِدٌ بِحَلَالِهِ وَ حَرَامِهِ وَ أَحْكَامِهِ يَقُومُ غَداً فَيُحَاجُّ أَقْوَاماً فَيُزِلُّ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَقْدَامَهُمْ عَنِ الصِّرَاطِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to them: ‘The Book of Allahazwj and the Peopleasws of mysaww Household. The Book of Allahazwj, it is the Quran and in it is the Argument, and the Light, and the Proof, an up to date Speech of Allahazwj, ever-green, ever-fresh, a witness and decisive justice, and for us a guide with its Permissible and its Prohibitions, and its Ordinances. It will be standing tomorrow and Allahazwj Cause to slip by it the feet, from the Bridge.

وَ احْفَظُونِي مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّ اللَّطِيفَ الْخَبِيرَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ

Preserve (for) mesaww, community of Helpers, regarding the Peopleasws of mysaww Household, for the Subtle, the Informed me that these two will never separate until they return to mesaww at the Fountain.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ سَقْفٌ تَحْتَهُ دِعَامَةٌ لَا يَقُومُ السَّقْفُ إِلَّا بِهَا فَلَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ أَتَى بِذَلِكَ السَّقْفِ مَمْدُوداً لَا دِعَامَةَ تَحْتَهُ فَأَوْشَكَ أَنْ يَخِرَّ عَلَيْهِ سَقْفُهُ فَيَهْوِيَ فِي النَّارِ

Indeed! And Al-Islam is a roof beneath which are pillars, the roof cannot stand except by these. If one of you were to come with that roof, extended, there being no pillars under it, then there is no doubt that his roof would fall down upon him and he would plunge into the Fire.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ الدِّعَامَةُ دِعَامَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِلَيْهِ يَصْعَدُ الْكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ وَ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ يَرْفَعُهُ‏ فَالْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ طَاعَةُ الْإِمَامِ وَلِيِّ الْأَمْرِ وَ التَّمَسُّكُ بِحَبْلِهِ

O you people! The pillars are the pillars of Al Islam, and that is the Word of the Exalted: To Him ascend the good words, and the righteous deeds raise it. [35:10]. The righteous deed is obeying the Imamasws, the Guardian of the Command (Wali Al-Amr), and the adhering with hisasws rope.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَ فَهِمْتُمْ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مَصَابِيحِ الظُّلَمِ وَ مَعَادِنِ الْعِلْمِ وَ يَنَابِيعِ الْحِكَمِ وَ مُسْتَقَرِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مِنْهُمْ وَصِيِّي وَ أَمِينِي وَ وَارِثِي وَ هُوَ مِنِّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى

O you people! Allahazwj, Allahazwj, regarding mysaww familyasws, lanterns for the darkness, and mines of knowledge, and springs of wisdom, and residence of the Angels; from them is mysaww successorasws and mysaww trusteeasws, and mysaww inheritor, and heasws is from mesaww at the status of Harunas from Musaas.

أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَا فَاسْمَعُوا وَ مَنْ حَضَرَ أَلَا إِنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بَابُهَا بَابِي وَ بَيْتُهَا بَيْتِي فَمَنْ هَتَكَهُ فَقَدْ هَتَكَ حِجَابَ اللَّهِ

Indeed! Have Isaww delivered, O community of Helpers? Indeed! Listen, and the ones who are present! Indeed! (Syeda) Fatimaasws, herasws door is mysaww door, and herasws house is mysaww house, so the one who violates it, so he has violated the Veil of Allahazwj’.

قَالَ عِيسَى فَبَكَى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع طَوِيلًا وَ قَطَعَ بَقِيَّةَ كَلَامِهِ‏ وَ قَالَ هُتِكَ وَ اللَّهِ حِجَابُ اللَّهِ هُتِكَ وَ اللَّهِ حِجَابُ اللَّهِ هُتِكَ وَ اللَّهِ حِجَابُ اللَّهِ يَا أُمَّهْ‏ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا

Isa said, ‘Abu Al-Hassanasws cried for a long time and terminated the rest of hisasws speech, and said: ‘By Allahazwj, the Veil of Allahazwj was violated! By Allahazwj the Veil of Allahazwj was Violated! By Allahazwj the Veil of Allahazwj was violated! O motherasws! May the Salawat of Allahazwj be upon herasws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ قَدْ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي قَدْ دُعِيتُ وَ إِنِّي مُجِيبُ دَعْوَةِ الدَّاعِي قَدِ اشْتَقْتُ إِلَى لِقَاءِ رَبِّي وَ اللُّحُوقِ بِإِخْوَانِي مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ أَوْصَيْتُ إِلَى وَصِيِّي وَ لَمْ أَهْمِلْكُمْ إِهْمَالَ الْبَهَائِمِ وَ لَمْ أَتْرُكْ مِنْ أُمُورِكُمْ شَيْئاً

Then heasws said: ‘Myasws fatherasws informed me from myasws grandfatherasws Muhammad Bin Aliasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww had gathered the Emigrants and said to them: ‘O you people! Isaww have been Called and Isaww must answer the call of the Caller, and Isaww am desirous to meeting mysaww Lordazwj and the joining up with the mysaww brothers from the Prophetsas, and Isaww am letting you know that I have bequeathed to mysaww successorasws, and will not load you all with the load of the animals, and Isaww did not leave anything from your matters’.

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصَيْتَ بِمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ فَبِأَمْرٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَوْصَيْتَ أَمْ بِأَمْرِكَ

Umar Bin Al-Khattab stood up to himsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Have yousaww bequeathed with what the Prophetsas from before yousaww bequeathed?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’. He said to himsaww, ‘Was it with the Command of Allahazwj yousaww bequeathed or with yoursaww own order?’

قَالَ لَهُ اجْلِسْ يَا عُمَرُ أَوْصَيْتُ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ أَمْرُهُ طَاعَتُهُ وَ أَوْصَيْتُ بِأَمْرِي وَ أَمْرِي طَاعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَى وَصِيِّي فَقَدْ عَصَانِي وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَ وَصِيِّي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ‏ لَا مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْتَ وَ صَاحِبُكَ

Hesaww said to him: ‘Sit down, O Umar! Isaww bequeathed with the Command of Allahazwj, and Hisazwj Command is to obey himasws, and Isaww bequeathed with mysaww order and mysaww matter is obedience to Allahazwj, and one who disobeys mesaww so he has disobeyed Allahazwj, and one who disobeys mysaww successorasws so he had disobeyed mesaww, and the one who obeys mysaww successorasws so he has obeyed mesaww, and one who obeys mesaww so he had obeyed Allahazwj, not what you and your companions are intending’.

ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى النَّاسِ وَ هُوَ مُغْضَبٌ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا وَصِيَّتِي مَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَ صَدَّقَنِي بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأُوصِيهِ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ طَاعَتِهِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ لَهُ فَإِنَّ وَلَايَتَهُ وَلَايَتِي وَ وَلَايَةُ رَبِّي

Then hesaww turned towards the people, and hesaww was angry. Hesaww said: ‘O you people! Hear mysaww bequest! One who believe in mesaww and ratifies mesaww with the Prophet-hood, and Isaww am a Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj, so Isaww bequeath with the Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, obedience to himasws and the ratification to himasws, for hisasws Wilayah is mysaww Wilayah and the Wilayah of mysaww Lordazwj!

قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُكُمْ فَلْيُبْلِغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ‏ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ هُوَ الْعَلَمُ فَمَنْ قَصَّرَ دُونَ الْعَلَمِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ وَ مَنْ تَقَدَّمَهُ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنِ الْعَلَمِ يَمِيناً هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ أَخَذَ يَسَاراً غَوَى‏ وَ ما تَوْفِيقِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ‏ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتُمْ قَالُوا نَعَمْ.

Isaww have delivered to you all, so let the one present deliver to the absentee. Surely, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, heasws is the flag, so the one who is deficient below the flag, so he has strayed, and one who precedes himasws, will proceed to the Fire, and one who is delayed from the flag to the right would be destroyed, and the one who takes to the left would deviate, and my success is only with Allah. [11:88]. So, have you all heard?’ They said, ‘Yes’’.

وَ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ دَعَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَ أَخْرَجَ مَنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ غَيْرِي وَ الْبَيْتُ فِيهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَسْمَعُ الْحِسَّ وَ لَا أَرَى شَيْئاً

And by the preceding chains, from Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww called measws during hissaww expiry and expelled the ones who were with himsaww in the house apart from measws, and the house, in it was Jibraeelas and the Angels. Iasws heard the faint sounds and did not see anything.

فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كِتَابَ الْوَصِيَّةِ مِنْ يَدِ جَبْرَئِيلَ مَخْتُومَةً فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيَّ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَفُضَّهَا فَفَعَلْتُ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقْرَأَهَا فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ عِنْدِي‏ أَتَانِي بِهَا السَّاعَةَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي فَقَرَأْتُهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا كُلُّ مَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُوصِي‏ بِهِ شَيْئاً شَيْئاً مَا تُغَادِرُ حَرْفاً.

Rasool-Allahsaww took the book of bequests from the hand of Jibraeelas and handed it over to measws and instructed measws to unseal it. Iasws did so. And hesaww instructed measws to read it. So, Iasws read it. Hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas is with mesaww. Heas came to mesaww with it this moment from the Presence of mysaww Lordazwj’. Iasws read it and there in it, was all what Rasool-Allahsaww had bequeathed it, thing by thing, no letter left out’’.

وَ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: كُنْتُ مُسْنِدَ النَّبِيِّ ص إِلَى صَدْرِي لَيْلَةً مِنَ اللَّيَالِي فِي مَرَضِهِ وَ قَدْ فَرَغَ مِنْ وَصِيَّتِهِ وَ عِنْدَهُ فَاطِمَةُ ابْنَتُهُ وَ قَدْ أَمَرَ أَزْوَاجَهُ وَ النِّسَاءَ أَنْ يَخْرُجْنَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَفَعَلْنَ

And by the preceding chain, from himasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws Al-Baqirasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws was cushioning the Prophetsaww to myasws chest, a night from the nights during hissaww illness, and hesaww was free from hissaww bequest and in hissaww presence was (Syeda) Fatimaasws hissaww daughterasws, and hesaww had ordered hissaww wives and the womenfolk to go out from hissaww presence. They did so.

فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ تَحَوَّلْ مِنْ مَوْضِعِكَ وَ كُنْ أَمَامِي قَالَ فَفَعَلْتُ وَ أَسْنَدَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ جَلَسَ مِيكَائِيلُ ع عَلَى يَمِينِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ ضُمَّ كَفَّيْكَ بَعْضَهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ فَفَعَلْتُ فَقَالَ لِي قَدْ عَهِدْتُ إِلَيْكَ‏ أُحْدِثُ الْعَهْدَ لَكَ بِمَحْضَرِ أَمِينَيْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ

Hesaww said: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Move from yourasws place and be in front of mesaww’. Iasws did so, and Jibraeelas cushioned himsaww, and Mikaeelas sat on hissaww right. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Press yourasws palm, part of it to a part’. Iasws did so. Hesaww said to measws: ‘Isaww have covenanted to youasws. Isaww shall pact for youasws in the presence of two trustworthy ones of Lordazwj of the worlds, Jibraeelas and Mikaeelas’.

يَا عَلِيُّ بِحَقِّهِمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا أَنْفَذْتَ وَصِيَّتِي عَلَى مَا فِيهَا وَ عَلَى قَبُولِكَ إِيَّاهَا بِالصَّبْرِ وَ الْوَرَعِ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِي وَ طَرِيقِي لَا طَرِيقَ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ خُذْ مَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ بِقُوَّةٍ وَ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ كَفَّيَّ وَ كَفَّايَ مَضْمُومَتَانِ فَكَأَنَّهُ أَفْرَغَ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئاً

O Aliasws! By both theiras rights upon youasws, implement mysaww bequest upon what is therein and upon yourasws acceptance of it with the patience and the devoutness upon mysaww manifesto, and mysaww path not the path of so and so, and so and so, and take what Allahazwj Gives youasws with strength’, and hesaww inserted hissaww hand between myasws palms, and myasws palms were both pressed together, and it was as if something had been deposited between them.

فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ قَدْ أَفْرَغْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ قَضَاءَ مَا يَرِدُ عَلَيْكَ وَ مَا هُوَ وَارِدٌ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ إِذَا حَضَرَتْكَ الْوَفَاةُ فَأَوْصِ وَصِيَّتَكَ إِلَى مَنْ بَعْدَكَ عَلَى مَا أُوصِيكَ وَ اصْنَعْ هَكَذَا بِلَا كِتَابٍ وَ لَا صَحِيفَةٍ.

Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Isaww have deposited the wisdom and the judgment between yourasws hands of what would be referred to youasws, and what will be referred, nothing from yourasws matter will be taken away from youasws, and when the expiry presents to youasws, then bequeath yourasws bequest to the oneasws after youasws upon what Isaww am bequeathing to you, and do like this without any letter nor a parchment’’.⁵⁶⁴

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from al Haris Bin Ja’far, from Ali Bin Ismail bin Yaqteen, from Isa Bin Al Mustafad Abu Musa Al Zareer who said,

‘It was narrated to me by Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws having said, ‘Iasws said to Abu Abdullahasws: 'Wasn’t it so that Amir Al-Momineenasws was the writer of the bequest and Rasool-Allahsaww dictated upon it, and Jibraeelas and the Angels of the Proximity were the witnesses?’

قَالَ فَأَطْرَقَ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ قَدْ كَانَ مَا قُلْتَ وَ لَكِنْ حِينَ نَزَلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْأَمْرُ نَزَلَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ كِتَاباً مُسَجَّلًا نَزَلَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ مَعَ أُمَنَاءِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ‏ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مُرْ بِإِخْرَاجِ مَنْ عِنْدَكَ إِلَّا وَصِيَّكَ لِيَقْبِضَهَا مِنَّا وَ تُشْهِدَنَا بِدَفْعِكَ إِيَّاهَا إِلَيْهِ ضَامِناً لَهَا يَعْنِي عَلِيّاً ع

Heasws said: ‘He (Abu Abdullahasws) withheld for a long while, then said: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! It was so, what youasws said, but when the Command came down to Rasool-Allahsaww, the bequest came down from the Presence of Allahazwj as an inscribed Ordinance. Jibraeelas descended with it with the trustworthy ones of Allahazwj Blessed and High from the Angels. Jibraeelas said: ‘Instruct the ones in yoursaww presence with the exiting except for yourasws successorasws in order for himasws to take charge from usas, and weas should witness yoursaww handing it over to himasws, as our responsibility for it’, meaning Aliasws.

فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِإِخْرَاجِ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ مَا خَلَا عَلِيّاً وَ فَاطِمَةُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ السِّتْرِ وَ الْبَابِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع يَا مُحَمَّدُ رَبُّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ هَذَا كِتَابُ مَا كُنْتُ عَهِدْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ شَرَطْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَ شَهِدْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَشْهَدْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْكَ مَلَائِكَتِي وَ كَفَى بِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ شَهِيداً

The Prophetsaww instructed with the exiting of the ones who were in the room apart from Aliasws, and Fatimaasws was in what is between the curtain and the door. Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj Conveys the greetings to yousaww and is Saying: “This is an Ordinance what was Covenanted to yousaww, and Stipulated upon yousaww, and Witnessed with upon yousaww, and Myazwj Angels witnessed with it upon yousaww, and Suffice with Meazwj, O Muhammadsaww, as a Witness”.

قَالَ فَارْتَعَدَتْ مَفَاصِلُ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ قَالَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ رَبِّي هُوَ السَّلَامُ وَ مِنْهُ السَّلَامُ وَ إِلَيْهِ يَعُودُ السَّلَامُ صَدَقَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ بَرَّ هَاتِ الْكِتَابَ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَمَرَهُ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ اقْرَأْهُ فَقَرَأَهُ حَرْفاً حَرْفاً فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ هَذَا عَهْدُ رَبِّي تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَيَّ وَ شَرْطُهُ عَلَيَّ وَ أَمَانَتُهُ وَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ وَ نَصَحْتُ وَ أَدَّيْتُ

Heasws said: ‘The joints of the Prophetsaww trembled and hesaww said: ‘O Jibraeelas! Heazwj is the Grantor of safety, and from Himazwj is the safety, and to Himazwj depends the safety return. The Mighty and Majestic Speaks the Truth and is Right. Give the Ordinance!’ Heas handed it over to himsaww and instructed himsaww for it to be handed over to Amir Al-Momineenasws, and hesaww said to himasws: ‘Read it!’. So heasws read it, letter by letter. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws!! This is a Covenant of mysaww Lordazwj, Blessed and High, to mesaww, and Heazwj Stipulated upon mesaww, and it is Hisazwj entrustment. And Isaww have delivered, and advised, and fulfilled it’.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ لَكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي بِالْبَلَاغِ وَ النَّصِيحَةِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ‏ عَلَى مَا قُلْتَ وَ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ بِهِ سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ أَنَا لَكُمَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الشَّاهِدِينَ

Aliasws said: ‘And Iasws testify for yousaww, by myasws fatheras and myasws motheras for yousaww! Yousaww are with the delivery and the advice and the ratification upon what yousaww said, and there testify for yousaww with it, myasws hearing, and myasws vision, and myasws flesh, and myasws blood’. Jibraeelas said: ‘And Ias am from the witness for the both of youasws, upon that’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَلِيُّ أَخَذْتَ وَصِيَّتِي وَ عَرَفْتَهَا وَ ضَمِنْتَ لِلَّهِ وَ لِيَ الْوَفَاءَ بِمَا فِيهَا فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع نَعَمْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي عَلَيَّ ضَمَانُهَا وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَوْنِي وَ تَوْفِيقِي عَلَى أَدَائِهَا

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Do youasws take mysaww bequest and recognise it and take responsibility to Allahazwj and to mesaww of the fulfilment with whatever is in it?’ Aliasws said: ‘Yes, by myasws fatheras and myasws motheras for yousaww! Upon measws is its responsibility, and upon Allahazwj is Hisazwj Assisting measws and Inclining measws upon its fulfilment’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُشْهِدَ عَلَيْكَ بِمُوَافَاتِي بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ نَعَمْ أَشْهِدْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ الْآنَ وَ هُمَا حَاضِرَانِ مَعَهُمَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ لِأُشْهِدَهُمْ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ لِيَشْهَدُوا وَ أَنَا بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي أُشْهِدُهُمْ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Isaww want to testify upon youasws with having been loyal to mesaww with it on the Day of Judgment’. Aliasws said: ‘Yes Iasws do testify’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Jibraeelas and Mikaeelas are between mesaww and youasws now, and theyas are both present, and with themas are the Angels of Proximity to bear witness upon youasws’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, let them bear witness, and Iasws, by myasws fatheras and myasws motheras being for yousaww, (accept them as) witnesses’.

فَأَشْهَدَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَانَ فِيمَا اشْتَرَطَ عَلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ ص بِأَمْرِ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع فِيمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِيُّ تَفِي بِمَا فِيهَا مِنْ مُوَالاةِ مَنْ وَالَى اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ وَ الْعَدَاوَةِ لِمَنْ عَادَى اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى الصَّبْرِ مِنْكَ عَلَى كَظْمِ الْغَيْظِ وَ عَلَى ذَهَابِ حَقِّكَ وَ غَصْبِ خُمُسِكَ وَ انْتِهَاكِ حُرْمَتِكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Rasool-Allahsaww made them witnesses, and it was among what the Prophetsaww stipulated upon himasws, by the instructions of Jibraeelas regarding what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Commanded, that hesaww said to him: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws be loyal with whatever is therein from the befriending the one who befriends Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and the disavowment and the enmity to the one who is an enemy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and the disavowment from them, upon the observance of patience from youasws and upon the swallowing of the anger, and upon the removal of mysaww rights, and the usurpation of yoursaww Khums, and the violation of yourasws sanctity’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ‏ جَبْرَئِيلَ يَقُولُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ص يَا مُحَمَّدُ عَرِّفْهُ أَنَّهُ يُنْتَهَكُ الْحُرْمَةُ وَ هِيَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ حُرْمَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَى أَنْ تُخْضَبَ لِحْيَتُهُ مِنْ رَأْسِهِ بِدَمٍ عَبِيطٍ

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and formed the person (in the womb), Iasws have heard Jibraeelas saying to the Prophetsaww: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Make himasws understand: ‘Yourasws sanctity will be violated, and it is a Sanctity of Allahazwj and Sanctity of Rasool-Allahsaww, and upon that hisasws beard would be dyed from the fresh blood of hisasws head’.

قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَصَعِقْتُ حِينَ فَهِمْتُ الْكَلِمَةَ مِنَ الْأَمِينِ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع حَتَّى سَقَطْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِي وَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَبِلْتُ وَ رَضِيتُ وَ إِنِ انْتُهِكَتِ‏ الْحُرْمَةُ وَ عُطِّلَتِ السُّنَنُ وَ مُزِّقَ الْكِتَابُ وَ هُدِمَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ وَ خُضِبَتْ لِحْيَتِي مِنْ رَأْسِي بِدَمٍ عَبِيطٍ صَابِراً مُحْتَسِباً أَبَداً حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ عَلَيْكَ

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘So Iasws cried when Iasws understood the speech from the trustworthy Jibraeelas until Iasws fell down upon myasws face, and Iasws said: ‘Yes, Iasws accept, and am pleased, and even if the sanctity is violated, and the Sunnah is deactivated, and the Book (Quran) is shred, and the Kabah is demolished, and myasws beard is dyed from the fresh blood of myasws head. Iasws shall be patient waiting Reckoning, forever, until Iasws proceed to yousaww’.

ثُمَّ دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ وَ أَعْلَمَهُمْ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْلَمَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالُوا مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ فَخُتِمَتِ الْوَصِيَّةُ بِخَوَاتِيمَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَمْ تَمَسَّهُ النَّارُ وَ دُفِعَتْ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع

Then Rasool-Allahsaww called over (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and hesaww let themasws know similar to what hesaww had let known Amir Al-Momineenasws. Theyasws said similar to hisasws words. Hesaww sealed the bequest with seals of gold, the fire not having touched it, and handed it over to Amir Al-Momineenasws’.

فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَ لَا تَذْكُرُ مَا كَانَ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ فَقَالَ سُنَنُ اللَّهِ وَ سُنَنُ‏ رَسُولِهِ ص فَقُلْتُ أَ كَانَ فِي الْوَصِيَّةِ تَوَثُّبُهُمْ وَ خِلَافُهُمْ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ اللَّهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ وَ حَرْفٌ بِحَرْفٍ‏ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِنَّا نَحْنُ نُحْيِ الْمَوْتى‏ وَ نَكْتُبُ ما قَدَّمُوا وَ آثارَهُمْ وَ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَحْصَيْناهُ فِي إِمامٍ مُبِينٍ‏

I (the narrator) said to Abu Al-Hassanasws, ‘By my father and my mother being for youasws! Youasws did not mention what was in the bequest’. So heasws said: ‘Sunnah of Allahazwj and Sunnah of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’. So I said, ‘Was there in the bequest their (enemies) attacking and their opposition to Amir Al-Momineenasws?’ So heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, thing by thing, and letter by letter. Have you not heard the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: Surely, We Revive the dead, and We Write down whatever they send forward and their impacts, and We have Enumerated all things in a clarifying Imam [36:12]?

وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ فَاطِمَةَ ع أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ فَهِمْتُمَا مَا تَقَدَّمْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكُمَا وَ قَبِلْتُمَاهُ فَقَالا بَلَى‏ وَ صَبَرْنَا عَلَى مَا سَاءَنَا وَ غَاظَنَا.

By Allahazwj! Rasool-Allahsaww had said to Amir Al-Momineenasws and Fatimaasws: ‘Have Isaww not made youasws both understand what would be preceding to youasws both, and youasws accepted it?’ Theyasws said: ‘Yes, and weasws would be patient upon what would dismay usasws and anger usasws’’.⁵⁶⁵

29- وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏ كَانَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي أَوَّلِهَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ هَذَا مَا عَهِدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَوْصَى بِهِ وَ أَسْنَدَهُ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِلَى وَصِيِّهِ‏ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And it is reported as well from the mentioned book,

‘From Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws said: ‘It was in the bequest of Rasool-Allahsaww, in its beginning: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. This is what Muhammadsaww Bin Abdullahas pacts and bequeaths with and puts into text by the Command of Allahazwj, to hissaww successorasws Aliasws Bin Abu Talib Amir Al-Momineenasws’.

وَ كَانَ فِي آخِرِ الْوَصِيَّةِ شَهِدَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ عَلَى مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ ص إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ قَبَضَهُ وَصِيُّهُ وَ ضَمَانُهُ عَلَى مَا فِيهَا عَلَى مَا ضَمِنَ يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ لِمُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ ع وَ عَلَى مَا ضَمِنَ وَ أَدَّى وَصِيُّ عِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَ عَلَى مَا ضَمِنَ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ قَبْلَهُمْ عَلَى أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً أَفْضَلُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ عَلِيّاً أَفْضَلُ الْوَصِيِّينَ

And it was in the end of the bequest: ‘Witnessed by Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and Israfeelas upon what is bequested by Muhammadsaww to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and possessed by hissaww successorasws upon what is therein upon what Yoshua Bin Nun took the responsibility for Musaas Bin Imranas, and upon what was performed by the successoras of Isaas Bin Maryamas upon what successors took the responsibility for before them upon the stipulation that: -

وَ أَوْصَى مُحَمَّدٌ وَ سَلَّمَ إِلَى عَلِيٍ‏ وَ أَقَرَّ عَلِيٌّ وَ قَبَضَ الْوَصِيَّةَ عَلَى مَا أَوْصَى بِهِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ سَلَّمَ مُحَمَّدٌ الْأَمْرَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ هَذَا أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَتُهُ وَ وَلَّاهُ الْأَمْرَ عَلَى أَنْ لَا نُبُوَّةَ لِعَلِيٍّ وَ لَا لِغَيْرِهِ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً.

Muhammadsaww is the most superior of the Prophetsas and Aliasws the superior of the successorsas, and Muhammadsaww has bequeathed and submitted to Aliasws, and Aliasws accepted and taken possession of the bequest upon what heasws has been bequeathed with by the Prophetsas, and Muhammadsaww submitted the command to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and this is the Command of Allahazwj and Hisazwj obedience, and the Mastersasws of the Command upon that there is no Prophet-hood for Aliasws, nor for anyone else after Muhammadsaww, and suffice with Allah as a Witness [4:79]’’.⁵⁶⁶

And it is reported as well, copied from Al Seyyid Al Razy Al Deen Al Musawy, from the book ‘Khasaai Al Aimmah’, from Harun Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ammar Al Ijaly Al Kufy, from Isa Al Zareer,

‘From Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Aliasws when hesaww handed over the bequest to himasws: ‘Take (prepare) an answer for it tomorrow in front of Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Lordazwj of the Throne, for Isaww will be arguing with youasws on the Day of Qiyamah by the Book of Allah(s.w.t.), its Permissibles and its Prohibitions, and its Decisive and its Allegorical, upon what Allahazwj Revealed and upon what Isaww instructed youasws, and upon the Obligations of Allahazwj, and upon the Ordinances from the enjoining with the good, and the forbidding from the evil and shunning it, along with establishing the legal punishments of Allahazwj and its conditions, and the matters, all of them, and establishing the Salat to its timings, and giving the Zakat to its people, and performing Hajj of the House, and the Jihad in the Way of Allahazwj. So what are youasws saying, O Aliasws?’

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَرْجُو بِكَرَامَةِ اللَّهِ لَكَ وَ مَنْزِلَتِكَ عِنْدَهُ وَ نِعْمَتِهِ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ يُعِينَنِي رَبِّي وَ يُثَبِّتَنِي‏ فَلَا أَلْقَاكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ مُقَصِّراً وَ لَا مُتَوَانِياً وَ لَا مُفَرِّطاً وَ لَا أمعز [أَمْعَرَ] وَجْهُكَ وَقَاهُ وَجْهِي وَ وُجُوهُ آبَائِي وَ أُمَّهَاتِي

Aliasws said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Isaww hope in the Benevolence of Allahazwj to yousaww, and yoursaww status in Hisazwj Presence, and Hisazwj Favours upon yousaww. If myasws Lordazwj Assists me and Affirms me, Iasws will not meet yousaww in front of Allahazwj neither deficient, nor negligent, nor an exaggerator, nor having defaced yoursaww face (image) by saving myasws face and faces of myasws fathers and myasws mothers.

بَلْ تَجِدُنِي بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي مُسْتَمِرّاً مُتَّبِعاً لِوَصِيَّتِكَ وَ مِنْهَاجِكَ وَ طَرِيقِكَ مَا دُمْتُ حَيّاً حَتَّى أَقْدَمَ بِهَا عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ الْأَوَّلَ فَالْأَوَّلَ مِنْ وُلْدِي لَا مُقَصِّرِينَ وَ لَا مُفَرِّطِينَ

But yousaww will find measws, may myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww, as persistently pursuing yoursaww bequest, and yoursaww manifesto, and yoursaww way for as long as Iasws am alive until Iasws arrive with it to yousaww. Then the first. So, the first one from myasws sonsasws will neither be a reducer nor an exaggerator’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع ثُمَّ انْكَبَبْتُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ‏ وَ أَنَا أَقُولُ وَا وَحْشَتَاهْ بَعْدَكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي وَ وَحْشَةَ ابْنَتِكَ وَ بَنِيكَ‏ بَلْ وَ أَطْوَلَ غَمِّي بَعْدَكَ يَا أَخِي انْقَطَعَتْ مِنْ مَنْزِلِي أَخْبَارُ السَّمَاءِ وَ فَقَدْتُ بَعْدَكَ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ فَلَا أُحِسُّ أَثَراً وَ لَا أَسْمَعُ حِسّاً

Aliasws said: ‘Then Iasws devoted upon hissaww face and upon hissaww chest and Iasws was saying: ‘Oh, the loneliness after yousaww! May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww, and the loneliness of yoursaww daughterasws and yoursaww (two grand) sonsasws. But myasws grief would be prolonged after yousaww, O myasws brothersaww! The news from the sky would be cut off from myasws house and after yousaww Iasws shall miss Jibraeelas and Mikaeelas, so Iasws will neither feel any impact nor hear a faint sound’.

فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ أَفَاقَ ص

There was unconsciousness upon himsaww for a long time, then hesaww woke up’.

قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي فَمَا كَانَ بَعْدَ إِفَاقَتِهِ

Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘Iasws said to myasws fatherasws: ‘So what happened after hissaww waking up?’

قَالَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ النِّسَاءُ يَبْكِينَ وَ ارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ ضَجَّ النَّاسُ بِالْبَابِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ نُودِيَ أَيْنَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ

Heasws said: ‘The woman entered to see himsaww, crying, and the voices were raised, the people from the Emigrants and the Helpers clamoured at the door. While they were like that when hesaww called: ‘Where is Aliasws?’ Heasws came until heasws entered to see himsaww.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَانْكَبَبْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَخِي افْهَمْ فَهَّمَكَ اللَّهُ وَ سَدَّدَكَ وَ أَرْشَدَكَ وَ وَفَّقَكَ وَ أَعَانَكَ وَ غَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ وَ رَفَعَ ذِكْرَكَ اعْلَمْ يَا أَخِي أَنَّ الْقَوْمَ سَيَشْغَلُهُمْ عَنِّي مَا يَشْغَلُهُمْ

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws devoted to himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Understand, may Allahazwj Make youasws understand, and Protect youasws, and Guide youasws, and Harmonise youasws, and Assist youasws, and Forgive yourasws (Shias’) sins, and Raise yourasws mention. Know, O mysaww brotherasws! The people will be too pre-occupied from mesaww by whatever keeps them busy.

فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُكَ‏ فِي الْأُمَّةِ مَثَلُ الْكَعْبَةِ نَصَبَهَا اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَماً وَ إِنَّمَا تُؤْتَى مِنْ كُلِّ فَجٍّ عَمِيقٍ وَ نَأْيٍ سَحِيقٍ وَ لَا تَأْتِي وَ إِنَّمَا أَنْتَ عَلَمُ الْهُدَى وَ نُورُ الدِّينِ وَ هُوَ نُورُ اللَّهِ

Rather, yourasws example in the community is an example of the Kabah. Allahazwj Nominated it for the people as a flag, and rather they come from every deep ravine and far distances, and it does not come; and rather youasws are a flag of guidance and Noor (light) of Religion, and it is the Noor (Light) of Allahazwj.

يَا أَخِي وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ قَدَّمْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْوَعِيدِ بَعْدَ أَنْ أَخْبَرْتُهُمْ رَجُلًا رَجُلًا مَا افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَقِّكَ وَ أَلْزَمَهُمْ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ وَ كُلٌّ أَجَابَ وَ سَلَّمَ إِلَيْكَ الْأَمْرَ وَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ خِلَافَ قَوْلِهِمْ

O mysaww brotherasws! By the Oneazwj Sent mesaww with the Truth! Isaww have forwarded to them with the promise after having informed them, man by man, what Allahazwj had Obligated upon them of yourasws right and necessitated them in obeying youasws, and they all answered and submitted the command to youasws, and Isaww know the opposition of their words.

فَإِذَا قُبِضْتُ وَ فَرَغْتَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَا أُوصِيكَ‏ بِهِ وَ غَيَّبْتَنِي فِي‏ قَبْرِي فَالْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ وَ اجْمَعِ الْقُرْآنَ عَلَى تَأْلِيفِهِ وَ الْفَرَائِضَ وَ الْأَحْكَامَ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ ثُمَّ امْضِ [ذَلِكَ‏] عَلَى غير لائمة [عَزَائِمِهِ وَ] عَلَى مَا أَمَرْتُكَ‏ بِهِ وَ عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّبْرِ عَلَى مَا يَنْزِلُ بِكَ وَ بِهَا حَتَّى تَقْدَمُوا عَلَيَ‏.

So, when Isaww pass away and youasws are free from the entirety of what Isaww bequeath youasws with and youasws have covered mesaww in mysaww grave, then stay in yourasws house and collect the Quran upon its composition, and the Obligations and the Rulings upon its Revelation (sequence). Then accomplish that upon other than its resolves, upon what Isaww instruct youasws with, and upon youasws is to be with the patience upon what befalls youasws and with it until you arrive to mesaww’’.⁵⁶⁷

By the preceding chain from Isa Al Zareer,

‘From Al-Kazimasws having said: ‘Iasws said to myasws fatherasws: ‘So what happened after the exit of the Angels from Rasool-Allahsaww?’

‏ قَالَ فَقَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَا عَلِيّاً وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع وَ قَالَ لِمَنْ فِي بَيْتِهِ اخْرُجُوا عَنِّي وَ قَالَ لِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ كُونِي عَلَى الْبَابِ‏ فَلَا يَقْرَبْهُ أَحَدٌ فَفَلَعَتْ

Heasws said: ‘Heasws said: ‘Then hesaww called Aliasws, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and said to the ones who were in hissaww house: ‘Get out from mesaww!’ And hesaww said to Umm Salamara! Be at the door and do not let anyone come near it’. Shera did so.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِ فَاطِمَةَ فَوَضَعَهَا عَلَى صَدْرِهِ طَوِيلًا وَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ عَلِيٍّ بِيَدِهِ الْأُخْرَى فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْكَلَامَ غَلَبَتْهُ عَبْرَتُهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَى الْكَلَامِ فَبَكَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بُكَاءً شَدِيداً وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع لِبُكَاءِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Come near mesaww’. Heasws went near himsaww. Hesaww grabbed a hand of (Syeda) Fatimaasws and placed it upon hissaww chest for a long time, and grabbed a hand of Aliasws in hissaww other hand. When Rasool-Allahsaww wanted to speak, hisasws tears overcame himsaww and hesaww was not able upon the speech. So, (Syeda) Fatimaasws cried intensely, and (so did) Aliasws and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws to the crying of Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ قَطَعْتَ قَلْبِي وَ أَحْرَقْتَ كَبِدِي لِبُكَائِكَ يَا سَيِّدَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ يَا أَمِينَ رَبِّهِ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ يَا حَبِيبَهُ وَ نَبِيَّهُ مَنْ لِوُلْدِي بَعْدَكَ وَ لِذُلٍّ يَنْزِلُ بِي بَعْدَكَ‏ مَنْ لِعَلِيٍّ أَخِيكَ وَ نَاصِرِ الدِّينِ مَنْ لِوَحْيِ اللَّهِ وَ أَمْرِهِ

(Syeda) Fatimaasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Myasws heart is cut and myasws liver burns to yoursaww crying. O chief of the Prophetssaww, from the former ones and the latter ones, and O trustee of hissaww Lordazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and O Hisazwj Beloved and Hisazwj Prophetsaww! Who is for myasws children after yousaww? And for the humiliation to descend with mesaww after yousaww? Who is for Aliasws yoursaww brotherasws, and helper of yoursaww Religion? Who is for the Revelation of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Command?’

ثُمَّ بَكَتْ وَ أَكَبَّتْ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَقَبَّلَتْهُ وَ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ص إِلَيْهِمْ وَ يَدُهَا فِي يَدِهِ فَوَضَعَهَا فِي يَدِ عَلِيٍّ وَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ هَذِهِ وَدِيعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ وَدِيعَةُ رَسُولِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ عِنْدَكَ فَاحْفَظِ اللَّهَ وَ احْفَظْنِي فِيهَا وَ إِنَّكَ لِفَاعِلُهُ‏

Then sheasws cried and devoted to hissaww face, and Aliasws devoted to himsaww, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws. Hesaww raised hissaww head towards them and herasws hand was in hissaww hand. Hesaww placed it in the hand of Aliasws and said to himasws: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! This is an entrustment of Allahazwj and entrustment of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww Muhammadsaww with youasws, then guard it for Allahazwj and for mesaww regarding it, and youasws will be doing it.

يَا عَلِيُّ هَذِهِ وَ اللَّهِ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ هَذِهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَرْيَمُ الْكُبْرَى أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ حَتَّى سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ لَهَا وَ لَكُمْ فَأَعْطَانِي مَا سَأَلْتُهُ

O Aliasws! By Allahazwj this is the chieftess of the people of the Paradise, from the former ones and the latter ones. By Allahazwj this is the elder Maryamas. But by Allahazwj! Mysaww did not reach this place until Isaww asked Allahazwj for herasws and for youasws all, so Heazwj Granted mesaww what Isaww had asked Himazwj.

يَا عَلِيُ‏ انْفُذْ لِمَا أَمَرَتْكَ بِهِ فَاطِمَةُ فَقَدْ أَمَرْتُهَا بِأَشْيَاءَ أَمَرَ بِهَا جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ اعْلَمْ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنِّي رَاضٍ عَمَّنْ رَضِيَتْ عَنْهُ ابْنَتِي فَاطِمَةُ وَ كَذَلِكَ رَبِّي وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ

O Aliasws! Implement what Isaww am instructing youasws with (Syeda) Fatimaasws, for Isaww have instructed herasws with things Jibraeelas had instructed with. And know, O Aliasws! Isaww am pleased with the one mysaww daughterasws Fatimaasws is pleased with, and like that is mysaww Lordazwj, and Hisazwj Angels.

يَا عَلِيُّ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ ظَلَمَهَا وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنِ ابْتَزَّهَا حَقَّهَا وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ هَتَكَ حُرْمَتَهَا وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ أَحْرَقَ بَابَهَا وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ آذَى خَلِيلَهَا وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ شَاقَّهَا وَ بَارَزَهَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مِنْهُمْ بَرِي‏ءٌ وَ هُمْ مِنِّي بُرَآءُ

O Aliasws! Woe be to the one who oppresses herasws, and woe be to the one who swindles herasws of herasws rights, and woe be to the one who burns herasws door, and woe be to the one who hurts herasws husbandasws, and woe be to the one who troubles herasws and attacks herasws. O Allahazwj! Isaww disavow from them and they are disavowed from mesaww’.

ثُمَّ سَمَّاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ ضَمَّ فَاطِمَةَ إِلَيْهِ وَ عَلِيّاً وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَهُمْ وَ لِمَنْ شَايَعَهُمْ سِلْمٌ وَ زَعِيمٌ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ عَدُوٌّ وَ حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ عَادَاهُمْ وَ ظَلَمَهُمْ وَ تَقَدَّمَهُمْ أَوْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهُمْ وَ عَنْ شِيعَتِهِمْ زَعِيمٌ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَدْخُلُونَ النَّارَ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww named them, and hugged (Syeda) Fatimaasws to himsaww, and Aliasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and said: ‘O Allahazwj! Isaww am at peace to theirasws Shias and a guarantor with them entering the Paradise, and am an enemy and at war to the one who are inimical to themasws and oppress themasws and precede themasws, or stay back from themasws and from theirasws Shias, a guarantor with them entering the Fire.

ثُمَّ وَ اللَّهِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى ثُمَّ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى ثُمَّ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَرْضَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى

Then, by Allahazwj O Fatimaasws! Isaww am not pleased until youasws are pleased, then no by Allahazwj, Isaww am not pleased until youasws are pleased, then no by Allahazwj, Isaww am not pleased until youasws are pleased’’.

قَالَ عِيسَى فَسَأَلْتُ مُوسَى ع وَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَكْثَرُوا فِي أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص أَمَرَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ ثُمَّ عُمَرَ

Isa (the narrator) said, ‘I asked Musaasws, I said, ‘The people are frequently (saying) regarding that the Prophetsaww instructed Abu Bakr to pray Salat leading the people, then Umar’.

فَأَطْرَقَ عَنِّي طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَيْسَ كَمَا ذَكَرُوا وَ لَكِنَّكَ يَا عِيسَى كَثِيرُ الْبَحْثِ عَنِ الْأُمُورِ وَ لَا تَرْضَى عَنْهَا إِلَّا بِكَشْفِهَا

Heasws bowed hisasws head for a long time, then said: ‘It isn’t as they are mentioning, but you, O Isa, there are of a lot of inquiry about the matters and you are not pleased about it except with its exposure’.

فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُ عَمَّا أَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ فِي دِينِي وَ أَتَفَقَّهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ أَضَلَّ وَ أَنَا لَا أَدْرِي وَ لَكِنْ مَتَى أَجِدُ مِثْلَكَ يَكْشِفُهَا لِي

I said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for youasws! But rather, I ask about what I would benefit with in my Religion, and I strongly agree fearing that I might stray, and I don’t know, but when I find the like of youasws, he would uncover it for me’.

فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص لَمَّا ثَقُلَ فِي مَرَضِهِ دَعَا عَلِيّاً فَوَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فِي حَجْرِهِ وَ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَ حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَأُؤْذِنَ بِهَا فَخَرَجَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَقَالَتْ يَا عُمَرُ اخْرُجْ فَصَلِّ بِالنَّاسِ فَقَالَ أَبُوكِ أَوْلَى بِهَا فَقَالَتْ صَدَقْتَ وَ لَكِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ لَيِّنٌ وَ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُوَاثِبَهُ الْقَوْمُ فَصَلِّ أَنْتَ

Heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww, when there was worsening in hissaww illness, hesaww called Aliasws. Heasws placed hissaww head in hisasws lap, and there was unconsciousness upon himsaww, and the Salat presented and there was a call (Azaan) with it. Ayesha came out and said, ‘O Umar! Go out and pray leading with the people’. He said, ‘Your father is foremost with it’. She said, ‘You speak the truth, but he is a soft man and I dislike it that the people might leap upon him, so you pray (leading) the Salat’.

فَقَالَ لَهَا عُمَرُ بَلْ يُصَلِّي هُوَ وَ أَنَا أَكْفِيهِ إِنْ وَثَبَ وَاثِبٌ أَوْ تَحَرَّكَ مُتَحَرِّكٌ مَعَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً ص مُغْمًى عَلَيْهِ لَا أَرَاهُ يُفِيقُ مِنْهَا وَ الرَّجُلُ مَشْغُولٌ بِهِ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يُفَارِقَهُ يُرِيدُ عَلِيّاً ع فَبَادِرْهُ‏ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفِيقَ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ أَفَاقَ‏ خِفْتُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ عَلِيّاً بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ مُنَاجَاتِهِ مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ فِي آخِرِ كَلَامِهِ الصَّلَاةَ الصَّلَاةَ

Umar said to her, ‘But, he should pray (leading) Salat and I will suffice him from the attack of the attacker or a movement of any mover, along with that Muhammadsaww has unconsciousness upon himasws. I do not see himsaww waking up from it, and the man (Aliasws) is pre-occupied with himsaww, not able upon separating from himsaww’ – meaning Aliasws, ‘So rush with the Salat before hesaww awakes, for if hesaww wakes up, I fear that hesaww would instruct Aliasws with the Salat, for I have heard hissaww whispering since the night and the last of hissaww speech was, ‘Al-Salat! Al-Salat!’’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ فَأَنْكَرَ الْقَوْمُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ ظَنُّوا أَنَّهُ بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَلَمْ يُكَبِّرْ حَتَّى أَفَاقَ ص وَ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِيَ الْعَبَّاسَ فَدُعِيَ فَحَمَلَهُ هُوَ وَ عَلِيٌّ فَأَخْرَجَاهُ حَتَّى صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَقَاعِدٌ ثُمَّ حُمِلَ فَوُضِعَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ

Heasws said: ‘Abu Bakr came out to lead Salat with the people, and the people disliked that. Then they thought that Rasool-Allahsaww had instructed him. He had not exclaimed Takbeer (to begin the Salat), until hesaww woke up and said: ‘Call Al-Abbas for mesaww’. He was called. He and Aliasws carried himsaww and they brought himsaww out until hesaww led Salat with the people, and hesaww was sitting. Then they carried himsaww and placed himsaww upon hissaww Pulpit. Hesaww did not sit upon the Pulpit after that.

وَ اجْتَمَعَ لَهُ جَمِيعُ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ حَتَّى بَرَزَتِ الْعَوَاتِقُ مِنْ خُدُورِهِنَّ فَبَيْنَ بَاكٍ وَ صَائِحٍ وَ صَارِخٍ وَ مُسْتَرْجِعٍ وَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَخْطُبُ سَاعَةً وَ يَسْكُتُ سَاعَةً

And the entirety of the people of Al-Medina from the Emigrants and the Helpers gathered to himsaww, to the extent that the young girls came out from their hiding, and manifested crying, and shouting, and shrieking, and saying ‘We are from Allahazwj and are returning to Himazwj’, and the Prophetsaww was addressing for a while and being silent for a while (intermittently).

وَ كَانَ مِمَّا ذَكَرَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَنْ قَالَ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَ مَنْ حَضَرَنِي فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ فِي سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَلْيُبَلِّغْ شَاهِدُكُمُ الْغَائِبَ‏

And it was from what hesaww mentioned in hissaww address is that hesaww said: ‘O community of the Emigrants and the Helpers and the ones who presented to mesaww in this day of mineasws, and in this time of mines, from the Jinn and the human beings, so let your ones present deliver to the absentee.

أَلَا قَدْ خَلَّفْتُ فِيكُمْ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ فِيهِ النُّورُ وَ الْهُدَى وَ الْبَيَانُ مَا فَرَّطَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ‏ وَ خَلَّفْتُ فِيكُمُ الْعَلَمَ الْأَكْبَرَ عَلَمَ الدِّينِ وَ نُورَ الْهُدَى وَصِيِّي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

Indeed! Isaww am leaving behind among you all the Book of Allahazwj. In it is the Noor (Light), and the guidance, and the explanation. Nothing has been left out from it. It is an Authority of Allahazwj for mesaww upon you; and Isaww am leaving behind among you the greatest flag, the flag of Religion, and the light of guidance, mysaww successorasws Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

أَلَا هُوَ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ فَاعْتَصِمُوا بِهِ‏ جَمِيعاً وَ لا تَفَرَّقُوا عَنْهُ‏ وَ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنْتُمْ أَعْداءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْواناً

Indeed! Heasws is the rope of Allahazwj, so hold tightly with it altogether and do not be disunited, - from it, and remember the Favour of Allah upon you when you were enemies, so He United between your hearts and (it was) by His Favour you became brethren [3:103].

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَنْزُ اللَّهِ الْيَوْمَ وَ مَا بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ وَ تَوَلَّاهُ الْيَوْمَ‏ وَ مَا بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ فَقَدْ أَوْفى‏ بِما عاهَدَ عَلَيْهُ اللَّهَ‏ وَ أَدَّى مَا وَجَبَ عَلَيْهِ‏ وَ مَنْ عَادَاهُ‏ الْيَوْمَ وَ مَا بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى وَ أَصَمَّ لَا حُجَّةَ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ

O you people! This is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, treasure of Allahazwj of Allahazwj today and what is after today. One who loves himasws and befriends himasws today and what is after today, so he has fulfilled with what Allahazwj had Covenanted upon him, and performed whatever had been Obligated upon him; and one who is inimical to himasws today and what is after today would come on the Day of Qiyamah as blind, and deaf, there being no argument for him in the Presence of Allahazwj.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَا تَأْتُونِي غَداً بِالدُّنْيَا تَزِفُّونَهَا زَفّاً وَ يَأْتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي شُعْثاً غُبْراً مَقْهُورِينَ مَظْلُومِينَ تَسِيلُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ‏ أَمَامَكُمْ‏ وَ بِيعَاتِ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ الشُّورَى لِلْجَهَالَةِ

O you people! Do not come to mesaww tomorrow with the world celebrating it with a celebration, and the Peopleasws of mysaww Household would come ruffled, dusty, coerced, oppressed, their blood flowing in front of you, (and you) having allegiances of the strayers and the consultation of the ignorant ones.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لَهُ أَصْحَابٌ وَ آيَاتٌ قَدْ سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ عَرَّفْتُكُمْ وَ بَلَّغَتْكُمْ مَا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكُمْ‏ وَ لكِنِّي أَراكُمْ قَوْماً تَجْهَلُونَ‏ لَا تَرْجِعُنَّ بَعْدِي كُفَّاراً مُرْتَدِّينَ مُتَأَوِّلِينَ لِلْكِتَابِ عَلَى غَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ وَ تَبْتَدِعُونَ السُّنَّةَ بِالْهَوَى‏ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ سُنَّةٍ وَ حَدَثٍ وَ كَلَامٍ خَالَفَ الْقُرْآنَ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ وَ بَاطِلٌ‏

Indeed! And this matter there are companions for it and Signs which Allahazwj has Named them in Hisazwj Book and Introduced them to you, and it has reached you all what Isaww have been Sent with to you but I see you as an ignorant people [11:29]. Do not return to be Kafirs after mesaww, apostates, interpreters of the Book upon without understanding, and innovating the Sunnah by the whims, because every Sunnah, and innovation, and speech opposing the Quran, it is redundant and false’.

الْقُرْآنُ إِمَامٌ هُدًى وَ لَهُ قَائِدٌ يَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ وَ يَدْعُو إِلَيْهِ‏ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَلِيُّ الْأَمْرِ بَعْدِي وَلِيُّهُ‏ وَ وَارِثُ عِلْمِي وَ حِكْمَتِي وَ سِرِّي وَ عَلَانِيَتِي وَ مَا وَرِثَهُ النَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي وَ أَنَا وَارِثٌ وَ مُوَرِّثٌ فَلَا تَكْذِبَنَّكُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ

The Quran is an Imam of guidance, and for it are guides guiding to it and calling to it with the wisdom and goodly exhortation, [16:125]. The Masterasws of the Command after mesaww, make himasws to be your Masterasws, and heasws is inheritor of mysaww knowledge, and mysaww wisdom, and mysaww secrets, and mysaww proclamations, and what the Prophetsas before mesaww left for inheritance, and Isaww am a recipient of inheritance and a giver of inheritance, so do not belie yourselves’.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّهُمْ أَرْكَانُ الدِّينِ وَ مَصَابِيحُ الظُّلَمِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ عَلِيٌّ أَخِي وَ وَارِثِي وَ وَزِيرِي وَ أَمِينِي وَ الْقَائِمُ بِأَمْرِي وَ الْمُوفِي بِعَهْدِي عَلَى سُنَّتِي- أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ بِي إِيمَاناً وَ آخِرُهُمْ عَهْداً عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَوْسَطُهُمْ‏ لِي لِقَاءً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

O you people! Allahazwj, Allahazwj, regarding the Peopleasws of mysaww Household, for theyasws are the cornerstones of the Religion, and lamps for the darkness, and the mines of knowledge. Aliasws is mysaww brotherasws, and mysaww inheritor, and mysaww Vizier, and mysaww trustee, and the ones standing with mysaww command, and fulfiller with mysaww covenant being upon mysaww Sunnah. Heasws the first of the people to believe in mesaww and their last ones to be pacted with during the expiry, and their first one to meet mesaww on the Day of Qiyamah.

فَلْيُبَلِّغْ شَاهِدُكُمْ غَائِبَكُمْ أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَمَّ قَوْماً إِمَامَةً عَمْيَاءَ وَ فِي الْأُمَّةِ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ

So, let your ones present deliver to the absentees. Indeed! And the one who leads a people with Imamate so he is blind, and in the community one who (thinks) he is more knowledgeable than himasws, so he has blasphemed.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ فَهَا أَنَا وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ عُدَّةٌ فَلْيَأْتِ فِيهَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَإِنَّهُ ضَامِنٌ لِذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى لِأَحَدٍ عَلَيَّ تِبَاعَةٌ.

O you people! And the one who had a grievance for him before mesaww, so here Isaww am, and the one who has a deposit for him, then let him go to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws regarding it, for heasws is a guarantor for that, all of it, until there does not remain for anyone upon me, any grievance’’.⁵⁶⁸

32- وَ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ إِلَى عِيسَى الضَّرِيرِ عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ ع وَ النَّاسُ حُضُورٌ حَوْلَهُ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ يَا عَلِيُّ لَيَرْجِعَنَ‏ أَكْثَرُ هَؤُلَاءِ كُفَّاراً يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُهُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ وَ مَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ تَرَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَغِيبَ عَنْكَ شَخْصِي

And by the preceding chain to Isa Al Zareer,

‘From Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘The Prophetsaww said in hissaww bequest to Aliasws, and the people were present around himsaww: ‘But by Allahazwj, O Aliasws! Most of them would be returning to be Kafirs, striking each other’s necks, and there is nothing between youasws and seeing that except for the disappearance of mysaww person’.

وَ قَالَ فِي مِفْتَاحِ الْوَصِيَّةِ يَا عَلِيُّ مَنْ شَاقَّكَ مِنْ نِسَائِي وَ أَصْحَابِي فَقَدْ عَصَانِي وَ مَنْ عَصَانِي فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ وَ أَنَا مِنْهُمْ بَرِي‏ءٌ فَابْرَأْ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع نَعَمْ‏ قَدْ فَعَلْتُ

And hesaww in the beginning of the bequest: ‘O Aliasws! One from mysaww wives and mysaww companions who troubles youasws, so he has disobeyed mesaww, and he has disobeyed Allahazwj, and Isaww am disavowed from him, so disavow from them’. Aliasws said: ‘Yes, Iasws have done so’.

فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ فَاشْهَدْ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ يَأْتَمِرُونَ بَعْدِي يَظْلِمُونَ وَ يُبَيِّتُونَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ مَنْ بَيَّتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَأَنَا مِنْهُمْ بَرِي‏ءٌ وَ فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ‏ بَيَّتَ طائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ وَ اللَّهُ يَكْتُبُ ما يُبَيِّتُونَ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Isaww hereby testify, O Aliasws, that after mesaww the people will be conspiring unjustly and spending the nights upon that, and the one who spends the night upon that, so Isaww am disavowed from them, and regarding them is Revealed: a group from them spends the night in other than which they were saying; and Allah Records what they are spending the night in, [4:81]’’.⁵⁶⁹

33- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ ع يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ فُلَانَةَ وَ فُلَانَةَ سَتُشَاقَّانِكَ وَ تُبْغِضَانِكَ‏ بَعْدِي وَ تَخْرُجُ فُلَانَةُ عَلَيْكَ فِي عَسَاكِرِ الْحَدِيدِ وَ تَخْلُفُ‏ الْأُخْرَى تَجْمَعُ إِلَيْهَا الْجُمُوعَ هُمَا فِي الْأَمْرِ سَوَاءٌ فَمَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ يَا عَلِيُّ

And by this chain, from Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said in hissaww bequest to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! So and so (woman) and so and so (woman) will be troubling you and hating youasws after mesaww. So and so (woman) would come out against youasws in an army of the iron (swords), and the other one would stay behind gathering the crowd to it. They are both the same in the matter. So, what will youasws be doing, O Aliasws?’

قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنْ فَعَلَتَا ذَلِكَ تَلَوْتُ عَلَيْهِمَا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ الْحُجَّةُ فِيمَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَإِنْ قَبِلَتَا وَ إِلَّا خَبَّرْتُهُمَا بِالسُّنَّةِ وَ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ طَاعَتِي وَ حَقِّيَ الْمَفْرُوضِ عَلَيْهِمَا فَإِنْ قَبِلَتَاهُ وَ إِلَّا أَشْهَدْتُ اللَّهَ وَ أَشْهَدْتُكَ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ رَأَيْتُ قِتَالَهُمَا عَلَى ضَلَالَتِهِمَا

Heasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! If they do that, Iasws shall recite to them the Book of Allahazwj, and it is the Authority in what is between measws and them both. Either they accept it, or else Iasws will force them and whatever is Obligated upon them from obeying measws and myasws right Necessitated upon them. Either they accept it, or else Iasws shall keep Allahazwj as Witness and yousaww as witness upon them, and Iasws shall view fighting them upon their straying’.

قَالَ وَ تَعْقِرُ الْجَمَلَ وَ إِنْ وَقَعَ فِي النَّارِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ- قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ

Hesaww said: ‘And you will hamstring the camel, and even if it falls into the fire?’ Iasws said: ‘Yes’. Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj, Witness!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِذَا فَعَلَتَا مَا شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِمَا الْقُرْآنُ فَأَبِنْهُمَا مِنِّي فَإِنَّهُمَا بَائِنَتَانِ وَ أَبَوَاهُمَا شَرِيكَانِ لَهُمَا فِيمَا عَمِلَتَا وَ فَعَلَتَا

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! When they do so, do not keep the Quran as Witness upon them, for then divorce them both irrevocable from mesaww, so they would be irrevocably divorced and their fathers are participants of theirs in what they work (plot) and do’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ ص يَا عَلِيُّ اصْبِرْ عَلَى ظُلْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ فَإِنَّ الْكُفْرَ يُقْبِلُ وَ الرِّدَّةُ وَ النِّفَاقُ مَعَ الْأَوَّلِ مِنْهُمْ ثُمَّ الثَّانِي وَ هُوَ شَرٌّ مِنْهُ وَ أَظْلَمُ ثُمَّ الثَّالِثِ ثُمَّ يَجْتَمِعُ لَكَ شِيعَةٌ تُقَاتِلُ بِهِمُ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْقَاسِطِينَ وَ الْمُتَّبِعِينَ الْمُضِلِّينَ وَ اقْنُتْ عَلَيْهِمْ هُمُ الْأَحْزَابُ وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ‏.

Heasws said: ‘And it was in hissaww bequest: ‘O Aliasws! Be patient upon the injustice of the unjust ones, for the Kufr would be facing you and the apostasy and the hypocrisy would be with the first of them, then the second one, and he is eviler than him and more unjust, then the third. Then the Shias would gather to youasws to fight with them the breakers (of the allegiance), and the renegades, and the followers of the strayed ones, and supplicate against them, they are the confederates and their adherents’’.⁵⁷⁰

34- وَ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عَنِ الْكَاظِمِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ: دَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَبْلَ وَفَاتِهِ بِقَلِيلٍ فَأَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَيْ أَخِي إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ بِرِسَالَةٍ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَبْعَثَكَ بِهَا إِلَى النَّاسِ فَاخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلِّمْهُمْ وَ أَدِّبْهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ‏ وَ قُلْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْ رَسُولِهِ

And by the preceding chain, from Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww called Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws before hissaww expiry by a little while, and devoted to himasws. Hesaww said: ‘Yes, mysaww brother! Jibraeelas came to mesaww from the presence of Allahazwj with a Message and instructed mesaww to send you with it to the people. So, go out to them and let them know and educate them from Allahazwj, and say (it is) from Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww:

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ يَقُولُ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ بِرِسَالَةٍ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَبْعَثَ بِهَا إِلَيْكُمْ مَعَ أَمِينِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

‘O you people! Rasool-Allahsaww is saying to you: ‘Jibraeelas came to mesaww from the Presence of Allahazwj with a Message and instructed mesaww that Isaww send it to you all with mysaww trustee Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

أَلَا مَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ أَلَا مَنْ تَوَالَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ فَقَدْ بَرِئَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَ مَنْ تَقَدَّمَ عَلَى إِمَامِهِ أَوْ قَدَّمَ إِمَاماً غَيْرَ مُفْتَرَضِ الطَّاعَةِ وَ وَالَى بَائِراً جَائِراً عَنِ الْإِمَامِ فَقَدْ ضَادَّ اللَّهَ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بَرِي‏ءٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَرْفاً وَ لَا عَدْلًا أَلَا هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ ثَلَاثاً

Indeed! One who claims to other than his father, so Allahazwj is Disavowed from him. Indeed! One who accepts as master to other than his master, Allahazwj is Disavowed from him. One who precedes upon his Imamasws or places forward an imam other than the one of Obligatory obedience, and follows an un-nominated one, a tyrant instead of the Imamasws, so he has opposed Allahazwj in Hisazwj Kingdom, and Allahazwj is Disavowed from him up to the Day of Qiyamah, and Allahazwj will neither accept from him any exchange, nor a replacement. Have Isaww delivered? – three times.

وَ مَنْ مَنَعَ أَجِيراً أُجْرَتَهُ وَ هُوَ مَنْ عَرَفْتُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ الْمُتَتَابِعَةُ إِلَى يَوْمِ‏ الْقِيَامَةِ.

And one who prevents a worker his wages, and he is one you know, then upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj consecutively up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.⁵⁷¹

35- قَالَ السَّيِّدُ ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ الطَّبَرِيُّ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَلْخِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْأَدَمِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ أَخْرُجَ فَأُنَادِيَ فِي النَّاسِ أَلَا مَنْ ظَلَمَ أَجِيراً أَجْرَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ أَلَا مَنْ تَوَالَى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ سَبَّ أَبَوَيْهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ

Al Seyyid Ibn Tawoos said, ‘It is reported by Muhammad Bin jareer Al Tabari, from yusuf Bin Ali Al Balkhy, from Abu Saeed Al Adamy, from Abdul Kareem Bin Hilal,

‘From Al-Husayn son of Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww instructed measws to go out and call out among the people: ‘Indeed! One who is unjust to a worker of his recompense, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj. Indeed! One who follows other than his Masterasws, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj. Indeed! One who reviles his parents, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj’.

قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَخَرَجْتُ فَنَادَيْتُ فِي النَّاسِ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي النَّبِيُّ ص فَقَالَ لِي عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ هَلْ لِمَا نَادَيْتَ بِهِ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ

Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws said: ‘Iasws went out and called out among the people just as the Prophetsaww had instructed measws. Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to measws, ‘Is there any interpretation to what youasws called out with?’ Iasws said: ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww are more knowing’.

قَالَ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَدَخَلُوا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَلْ لِمَا نَادَى عَلِيٌّ مِنْ تَفْسِيرٍ

Heasws said: ‘So, Umar and a group from the companions of the Prophetsaww stood up and entered to see himsaww. Umar said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Is there any interpretation of what Aliasws called out with?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَرْتُهُ‏ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ أَلَا مَنْ ظَلَمَ أَجِيراً أَجْرَهُ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ‏ قُلْ لا أَسْئَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى‏ فَمَنْ ظَلَمَنَا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ

Hesaww said: ‘Yes, Isaww instructed himasws to call out: ‘Indeed! One who is unjust to a worker of his recompense, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj’, and Allahazwj is Saying: ‘Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. [42:23]. So, the one who is unjust to usasws, then upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj.

وَ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ مَنْ تَوَالَى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ‏ النَّبِيُّ أَوْلى‏ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ‏ وَ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ فَمَنْ تَوَالَى غَيْرَ عَلِيٍ‏ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ

And Isaww instructed himasws to call out: ‘One who follows other than his Masterasws, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj’, and Allahazwj is Saying: The Prophet is foremost with the Momineen than their own selves, [33:6], and the one whose Master Isaww was, so Aliasws is his Master. Thus, the one who follows other than Aliasws, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj.

وَ أَمَرْتُهُ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ مَنْ سَبَّ أَبَوَيْهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ وَ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي وَ عَلِيّاً أَبَوَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَمَنْ سَبَّ أَحَدَنَا فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ

And Isaww instructed himasws to call out: ‘One who reviles his parents, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj’, and Isaww keep Allahazwj as Witness and keep you all as witness that Isaww and Aliasws are two fathers of the Momineen, so the one who reviles one of usasws, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj’.

فَلَمَّا خَرَجُوا قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أَصْحَابَ مُحَمَّدٍ مَا أَكَّدَ النَّبِيُّ لِعَلِيٍّ فِي الْوَلَايَةِ فِي غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ وَ لَا فِي غَيْرِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنْ تَأْكِيدِهِ فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا

When they went out, Umar said, ‘O companions of Muhammadsaww! Muhammadsaww was not so devoted to Aliasws regarding the Wilayah in Ghadeer Khumm among others more intensely than hissaww emphasising during this day of ours’.

قَالَ خَبَّابُ بْنُ الْأَرَتِّ كَانَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ النَّبِيِّ ص بِتِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْماً.

Khabbab Bin Al-Art said, ‘This Hadeeth was before the expiry of the Prophetsaww by nineteen days’’.⁵⁷²

36- وَ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُقَدَّمِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي صَبِيحَتِهَا دَعَا عَلِيّاً وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع وَ أَغْلَقَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ وَ قَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ وَ أَدْنَاهَا مِنْهُ فَنَاجَاهَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ طَوِيلًا

And by the preceding chain – ‘From Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘When it was the night in which the Prophetsaww passed away, in its morning hesaww called Aliasws, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and had the door closed upon himsaww and them, and said: ‘O Fatimaasws!’, and drew herasws closer to himsaww and whispered to herasws for a long time of the night.

فَلَمَّا طَالَ ذَلِكَ خَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ وَ مَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَقَامُوا بِالْبَابِ وَ النَّاسُ خَلْفَ الْبَابِ وَ نِسَاءُ النَّبِيِّ ص يَنْظُرْنَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع وَ مَعَهُ ابْنَاهُ

When that was prolonged, Aliasws came out and with himasws were Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and they stood at the door, and the people were behind the door, and the wives of the Prophetsaww were looking at Aliasws and with himasws were hisasws two sonsasws.

فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لِأَمْرِ مَا أَخْرَجَكَ مِنْهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ خَلَا بِابْنَتِهِ دُونَكَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ فَقَالَ لَهَا عَلِيٌّ ع قَدْ عَرَفْتُ الَّذِي خَلَا بِهَا وَ أَرَادَهَا لَهُ وَ هُوَ بَعْضُ مَا كُنْتِ فِيهِ وَ أَبُوكِ وَ صَاحِبَاهُ مِمَّا قَدْ سَمَّاهُ فَوَجَمَتْ أَنْ تَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ كَلِمَةً

Ayesha said, ‘For a matter what Rasool-Allahsaww expelled youasws from it and is alone with hissaww daughter besides youasws in this time’. Aliasws said to her: ‘Iasws do understand that which hesaww is alone with herasws and hissaww intention to it, and it is part of what you were in, and your father and his two companions, from what hesaww has named’. She was dumbfounded to respond any phrase to himasws.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا لَبِثْتُ أَنْ نَادَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ ع فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ هُوَ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَبَكَيْتُ وَ لَمْ أَمْلِكْ نَفْسِي حِينَ رَأَيْتُهُ بِتِلْكَ الْحَالِ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ لِي مَا يُبْكِيكَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَيْسَ هَذَا أَوَانُ الْبُكَاءِ فَقَدْ حَانَ الْفِرَاقُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ

Aliasws said: ‘It was not long before (Syeda) Fatimaasws called out to measws, so Iasws entered to see the Prophetsaww, and hesaww was finding hissaww (last) breath. Sheasws cried and Iasws could not control myselfasws when Iasws saw himsaww in that state finding hissaww (last) breath. Hesaww said to measws: ‘What makes youasws cry, O Aliasws?’ This is not the time for the crying for the separation between mesaww and youasws has arrived.

فَأَسْتَوْدِعُكَ اللَّهَ يَا أَخِي فَقَدِ اخْتَارَنِي رَبِّي مَا عِنْدَهُ وَ إِنَّمَا بُكَائِي وَ غَمِّي‏ وَ حُزْنِي عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى هَذِهِ أَنْ تُضَيَّعَ بَعْدِي‏ فَقَدْ أَجْمَعَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَى ظُلْمِكُمْ وَ قَدْ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ وَ قَبِلَكُمْ مِنِّي وَدِيعَةً

Isaww bid youasws safety of Allahazwj, O mysaww brotherasws. Mysaww Lordazwj Gave mesaww a choice of what is with Himazwj, and rather mysaww crying and mysaww gloom and mysaww grief upon youasws and upon this is that youasws will be lost after mesaww. The people have gathered upon oppressing youasws, and Isaww bid youasws in safety of Allahazwj, and accept the entrustment from me’.

يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي قَدْ أَوْصَيْتُ فَاطِمَةَ ابْنَتِي بِأَشْيَاءَ وَ أَمَرْتُهَا أَنْ تُلْقِيَهَا إِلَيْكَ فَأَنْفِذْهَا فَهِيَ الصَّادِقَةُ الصَّدُوقَةُ ثُمَّ ضَمَّهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ قَبَّلَ رَأْسَهَا وَ قَالَ فِدَاكِ أَبُوكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَعَلَا صَوْتُهَا بِالْبُكَاءِ

O Aliasws! Isaww have bequeathed to mysaww daughterasws Fatimaasws with (certain) things and instructed herasws to give these to youasws, so implement it, for sheasws is most truthful one’. Then hesaww hugged herasws to himsaww and kissed herasws head and said: ‘May yourasws fathersaww be ransomed for youasws, O Fatimaasws’. So, her voice rose with the crying.

ثُمَّ ضَمَّهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَيَنْتَقِمَنَّ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَ لَيَغْضَبَنَّ لِغَضَبِكِ فَالْوَيْلُ ثُمَّ الْوَيْلُ ثُمَّ الْوَيْلُ لِلظَّالِمِينَ ثُمَّ بَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص

Then hesaww hugged herasws to himsaww and said: ‘But by Allahazwj! Allahazwj my Lordazwj will Take revenge and will be Wrathful to yourasws anger. So, the woe, then the woe, then the woe to the unjust ones’. Then Rasool-Allahsaww cried.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَوَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَسِبْتُ‏ بَضْعَةً مِنِّي قَدْ ذَهَبَتْ لِبُكَائِهِ حَتَّى هَمَلَتْ عَيْنَاهُ مِثْلَ الْمَطَرِ حَتَّى بَلَّتْ دُمُوعُهُ لِحْيَتَهُ وَ مُلَاءَةً كَانَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ يَلْتَزِمُ فَاطِمَةَ لَا يُفَارِقُهَا وَ رَأْسُهُ عَلَى صَدْرِي وَ أَنَا مِسْنَدُهُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ يُقَبِّلَانِ قَدَمَيْهِ وَ يَبْكِيَانِ بِأَعْلَى أَصْوَاتِهِمَا

Aliasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! Iasws reckoned a part of measws went to hissaww crying until hissaww eyes bore like the rain, until hissaww tears rolled down hissaww beard and filled whatever was upon it, and hesaww was adhering to (Syeda) Fatimaasws, not separating herasws, and hissaww head was upon mysaww chest, and Iasws was hissaww pillow, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws were kissing hissaww feet and crying in their loud voices’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَلَوْ قُلْتُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ فِي الْبَيْتِ لَصَدَقْتُ لِأَنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ بُكَاءً وَ نَغْمَةً لَا أَعْرِفُهَا وَ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا أَصْوَاتُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَا أَشُكُّ فِيهَا لِأَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي مِثْلِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ يُفَارِقُ النَّبِيَّ ص وَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ بُكَاءً مِنْهَا أَحْسَبُ أَنَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ قَدْ بَكَتْ لَهَا

Aliasws said: ‘If Iasws were to say that Jibraeelas was in the house, Iasws would be speaking the truth because Iasws heard crying and sound Iasws did not recognise, and Iasws knew that these were voices of the Angels, there being no doubt in it, because Jibraeelas would not happen to have separated from the Prophetsaww during that night, and Iasws had viewed the crying from herasws, Iasws reckon that the skies and the earths would be crying for herasws.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهَا يَا بُنَيَّةِ اللَّهُ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَ هُوَ خَيْرُ خَلِيفَةٍ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَقَدْ بَكَى لِبُكَائِكِ عَرْشُ اللَّهِ وَ مَا حَوْلَهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ وَ مَا فِيهِمَا

Then hesaww said to herasws: ‘O daughterasws! Allahazwj has Made a Caliph to be upon you all, and heasws is the best of the Caliphs. By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! The Throne of Allahazwj has cried to yourasws crying, and (so did) the Angels who were around it, and the skies and the earths and whatever is in between these.

يَا فَاطِمَةُ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِ لَقَدْ حُرِّمَتِ الْجَنَّةُ عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ حَتَّى أَدْخُلَهَا وَ إِنَّكِ لَأَوَّلُ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ يَدْخُلُهَا بَعْدِي كَاسِيَةً حَالِيَةً نَاعِمَةً

O Fatimaasws! By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! The Paradise is Prohibited unto the creatures until Isaww enter it, and youasws will be the first creature Allahazwj would Cause to enter after mesaww, garmented, ornamented, blissful.

يَا فَاطِمَةُ هَنِيئاً لَكِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّكِ لَسَيِّدَةُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُهَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ

O Fatimaasws! Congratulations to youasws! By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! Youasws are the chieftess of the ones from the women who would enter it (Paradise).

وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّ جَهَنَّمَ لَتَزْفِرُ زَفْرَةً لَا يَبْقَى مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ إِلَّا صَعِقَ فَيُنَادَى إِلَيْهَا أَنْ يَا جَهَنَّمُ يَقُولُ لَكِ الْجَبَّارُ اسْكُنِي بِعِزِّي وَ اسْتَقِرِّي‏ حَتَّى تَجُوزَ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِلَى الْجِنَانِ لَا يَغْشَاهَا قَتَرٌ وَ لا ذِلَّةٌ

By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! Hell will exhale such and exhalation, there will neither remain an Angel of Proximity, nor a Messenger Prophetas, except he would be stunned. Heazwj will Say to it: “O Hell! The Subduer is Saying to you, calm down, be comfortable and settle down until Fatimaasws, daughterasws of Muhammadsaww crosses over to the Gardens!” Neither will darkness nor humiliation cover herasws.

وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَيَدْخُلَنَّ حَسَنٌ وَ حُسَيْنٌ حَسَنٌ عَنْ يَمِينِكِ وَ حُسَيْنٌ عَنْ يَسَارِكِ وَ لَتُشْرِفِنَّ مِنْ أَعْلَى الْجِنَانِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ‏ فِي الْمَقَامِ الشَّرِيفِ وَ لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ مَعَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏ ع يُكْسَى إِذَا كُسِيتُ وَ يُحْبَى إِذَا حُبِيتُ

By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! Hassanasws and Husaynasws shall enter, Hassanasws being on yourasws right and Husaynasws on yourasws left, and youasws shall overlook from the lofty Gardens in front of Allahazwj, in the noble place, and the flag of Praise would be with Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Heasws will be garmented when youasws are garmented, and Awarded when youasws are Awarded.

وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَأَقُومَنَّ بِخُصُومَةِ أَعْدَائِكِ وَ لَيَنْدَمَنَّ قَوْمٌ أَخَذُوا حَقَّكِ وَ قَطَعُوا مَوَدَّتَكِ وَ كَذَبُوا عَلَيَّ وَ لَيُخْتَلَجُنَ‏ دُونِي فَأَقُولُ أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي فَيُقَالُ إِنَّهُمْ بَدَّلُوا بَعْدَكَ وَ صَارُوا إِلَى السَّعِيرِ.

By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth! Isaww will stand to dispute with yourasws enemies, and they will regret, the people who seized yourasws right and cut off your cordiality, and they belied upon mesaww, and they will be snatched away. So Isaww shall say: ‘Mysaww community one! My community one!’ It will be said: ‘They replaced after yousaww and have now come to be in the Blazing Fire’’.⁵⁷³

And by the preceding chain – From Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws said: ‘It was in the bequest that the hesaww hand over Al-Hunoot (the embalming material) to measws. Rasool-Allahsaww called measws before hissaww expiry by a little while. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws, and O Fatimaasws! This is my Hunoot from the Paradise. Jibraeelas handed it to mesaww and heas conveyed the greetings to both of youasws and said to youasws: ‘Apportion it and segregate it for mesaww and for youasws both’.

قَالَتْ لَكَ ثُلُثُهُ وَ لْيَكُنِ النَّاظِرُ فِي الْبَاقِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ ضَمَّهَا إِلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ مُوَفَّقَةٌ رَشِيدَةٌ مَهْدِيَّةٌ مُلْهَمَةٌ يَا عَلِيُّ قُلْ فِي الْبَاقِي قَالَ نِصْفُ مَا بَقِيَ لَهَا وَ نِصْفٌ لِمَنْ تَرَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هُوَ لَكَ فَاقْبِضْهُ‏.

Sheasws said: ‘For yousaww is a third and let Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws be the one to consider regarding the remainder’. Rasool-Allahsaww cried and hugged herasws to himsaww, and said: ‘(Sheasws is) appropriate, rational, rightly Guided, charismatic. O Aliasws, speak regarding the remainder’. Heasws said: ‘Half of what remains is for herasws and half is for the one yousaww see, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘It is for youasws, so take its possession’’.⁵⁷⁴

And by the preceding chain, from himasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Do youasws take responsibility of mysaww debts youasws will be paying these back on mysaww behalf?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’.

قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ فَاشْهَدْ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ تُغَسِّلُنِي‏ وَ لَا يُغَسِّلُنِي غَيْرُكَ فَيَعْمَى بَصَرُهُ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ لِمَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع عَنْ رَبِّي إِنَّهُ لَا يَرَى عَوْرَتِي غَيْرُكَ إِلَّا عَمِيَ بَصَرُهُ

Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Be Witness!. Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws will wash mesaww and no one other than youasws, or his vision would be blinded’. Aliasws said: ‘And why, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘(It is) like that. Jibraeelas said from mysaww Lordazwj, no one shall see mysaww nakedness apart from youasws except his vision would be blinded’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَكَيْفَ أَقْوَى عَلَيْكَ وَحْدِي قَالَ يُعِينُكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ‏ وَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ صَاحِبُ السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا

Aliasws said: ‘So, how will Iasws alone be strong enough upon youasws?’ Hesaww said: ‘Youasws will be assisted by Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and Israfeelas, and Angel of death, and Ismaeelas in charge of the sky of the world’.

قُلْتُ فَمَنْ يُنَاوِلُنِي الْمَاءَ قَالَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنِّي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَحِلُّ لَهُ وَ لَا لِغَيْرِهِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ النَّظَرُ إِلَى عَوْرَتِي وَ هِيَ حَرَامٌ عَلَيْهِمْ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ غُسْلِي فَضَعْنِي عَلَى لَوْحٍ وَ أَفْرِغْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بِئْرِي بِئْرِ غَرْسٍ أَرْبَعِينَ دَلْواً مُفَتَّحَةَ الْأَفْوَاهِ

Heasws said: ‘Who would give measws the water?’ Hesaww said: ‘Al Fazl Bin Al Abbas from without looking to anything from mesaww, for it is not Permissible for him nor for others from the men and the women to look at mysaww private parts, and it is Prohibited to them. When youasws are free from washing mesaww then place mesaww upon a plank and pour upon measws from mysaww well, Gars well, forty buckets of open mouths’.

قَالَ عِيسَى أَوْ قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ قِرْبَةً شَكَكْتُ أَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ

Isa (the narrator) said, ‘Or hesaww said: ‘Forty canteens’, I am doubtful about that.

قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَعْ يَدَكَ يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَى صَدْرِي وَ أَحْضِرْ مَعَكَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَنْظُرُوا إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ عَوْرَتِي ثُمَّ تَفَهَّمُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَفَهُّمَ مَا كَانَ وَ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَ قَبِلْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ فَاشْهَدْ

Hesaww said: ‘Then press yourasws hand, O Aliasws, upon mysaww chest and present along with youasws, (Syeda) Fatimaasws and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws from without they looking at anything from mysaww private parts. Then youasws will understand during that an understanding of what has happened and what is to happen, if Allahazwj the Exalted so Desires. Do youasws accept, O Aliasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’. Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Be Witness!’

قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ مَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ لَوْ قَدْ تَآمَرَ الْقَوْمُ عَلَيْكَ بَعْدِي وَ تَقَدَّمُوا عَلَيْكَ وَ بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ طَاغِيَتُهُمْ يَدْعُوكَ إِلَى الْبَيْعَةِ ثُمَّ لُبِّبْتَ بِثَوْبِكَ تُقَادُ كَمَا يُقَادُ الشَّارِدُ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ مَذْمُوماً مَخْذُولًا مَحْزُوناً مَهْمُوماً وَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَنْزِلُ بِهَذِهِ الذُّلُّ

Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! What will youasws do if the people have command upon youasws after mesaww and they precede upon youasws, and send their tyrants to youasws calling youasws to the allegiance? Then they will grab yourasws clothes pulling just as the stray camel tends to get pulled, disgustingly, forsaken, grieving, worried, and after they would bring down this humiliation’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ فَاطِمَةُ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَرَخَتْ وَ بَكَتْ فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِبُكَائِهَا وَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّةِ لَا تَبْكِيِنَّ وَ لَا تُؤْذِيِنَّ جُلَسَاءَكِ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ بَكَى لِبُكَائِكِ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ صَاحِبُ سِرِّ اللَّهِ إِسْرَافِيلُ يَا بُنَيَّةِ لَا تَبْكِيِنَّ فَقَدْ بَكَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ لِبُكَائِكِ

Heasws said: ‘When (Syeda) Fatimaasws heard what Rasool-Allahsaww had said, sheasws lamented and cried, and Rasool-Allahsaww cried to herasws crying and said: ‘O daughterasws! Do not cry nor hurt yourasws gatherers from the Angels. This is Jibraeelas crying to yourasws crying, and Mikaeelas, and Israfeelas in charge of the Secrets of Allahazwj. O daughterasws, don’t cry, for the skies and the earth are crying to yourasws crying’.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْقَادُ لِلْقَوْمِ وَ أَصْبِرُ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ بَيْعَةٍ لَهُمْ مَا لَمْ أُصِبْ أَعْوَاناً لَمْ أُنَاجِزِ الْقَوْمَ‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ اشْهَدْ

Aliasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Criticising is for the people, and Iasws shall be patient upon whatever afflicts measws, from being without allegiance of their, not achieving supporters, Iasws will not transgress the people’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Allahazwj, Be Witness!’

فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ مَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ بِالْقُرْآنِ وَ الْعَزَائِمِ وَ الْفَرَائِضِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَجْمَعُهُ ثُمَّ آتِيهِمْ بِهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلُوهُ وَ إِلَّا أَشْهَدْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَشْهَدْتُكَ عَلَيْهِ‏ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ

Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! What will youasws do with the Quran and the necessities and the Obligations?’ Heasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Iasws shall collect it, then go to them with it, and only keep Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic as Witness, and keep yousaww as witness upon it’. Hesaww: ‘Isaww shall witness’’.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ فِيمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يُدْفَنَ فِي بَيْتِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ وَ يُكَفَّنَ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَثْوَابٍ أَحَدُهَا يَمَانٍ وَ لَا يَدْخُلَ قَبْرَهُ غَيْرُ عَلِيٍّ ع ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ يَا عَلِيُّ كُنْ أَنْتَ وَ ابْنَتِي فَاطِمَةُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ كَبِّرُوا خَمْساً وَ سَبْعِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ كَبِّرْ خَمْساً وَ انْصَرِفْ وَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ

Heasws said: ‘And it was among what Rasool-Allahsaww had bequeathed with that hesaww be buried in hissaww house in which hesaww passes away, and be enshrouded with three clothes, one of them Yemeni, and no one should enter hissaww grave apart from Aliasws. Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws and mysaww daughterasws Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws should exclaim seventy five Takbeers and (youasws) exclaim five Takbeers and leave, and that is after there is an Azaan for youasws regarding the Salat’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي مَنْ يُؤْذِنُ غَداً قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع يُؤْذِنُكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ جَاءَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيَّ فَوْجاً فَوْجاً ثُمَّ نِسَاؤُهُمْ ثُمَّ النَّاسُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ‏.

Aliasws said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws mother be (sacrificed) for youasws! Who will proclaim Azaan tomorrow?’ Hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas will proclaim Azaan for youasws’. Hesaww the ones from mysaww familyasws who come to pray Salat upon mesaww in droves and droves, then their women, then the people after that’’.⁵⁷⁵

39- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ: قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَصِيرَكَ فِي بَيْتِكَ إِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا عَلِيُّ بَيْتِي قَبْرِي

And by this chain, said: ‘Aliasws said to Rasool-Allahsaww: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww instructed measws to come in yoursaww house if an event (of death) occurs with yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘Yes, O Aliasws! Mysaww house is mysaww grave’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي فَحُدَّ لِي أَيَّ النَّوَاحِي أَصِيرُكَ فِيهِ قَالَ إِنَّكَ مُسَخَّرٌ بِالْمَوْضِعِ وَ تَرَاهُ

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Limit for measws which of the sides Iasws should come into it’. Hesaww said: ‘Youasws will be subservient with the place and see it’.

قَالَتْ لَهُ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيْنَ أَسْكُنُ قَالَ اسْكُنِي‏ أَنْتِ بَيْتاً مِنَ الْبُيُوتِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ بَيْتِي لَيْسَ لَكِ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا مَا لِغَيْرِكِ فَقِرِّي فِي بَيْتِكِ وَ لَا تَبَرَّجِي‏ تَبَرُّجَ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولى‏ وَ لَا تُقَاتِلِي مَوْلَاكِ وَ وَلِيِّكِ ظَالِمَةً شَاقَّةً وَ إِنَّكِ لفاعليه [لَفَاعِلَةٌ]

Ayesha said to himsaww, ‘So, where will I dwell?’ Hesaww said: ‘You will dwell in a house from the houses. But rather, it is mysaww house, there isn’t the right for you in it except what is for others, And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the Pre-Islamic period before; [33:33], and do not fight against your Masterasws and your Commander unjustly, harshly, and although you will be doing it’.

فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ لِابْنَتِهِ حَفْصَةَ مُرِي عَائِشَةَ لَا تُفَاتِحْهُ فِي ذِكْرِ عَلِيٍّ وَ لَا تُرَادَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ اسْتُهِيمَ فِيهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ وَ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِنَّمَا الْبَيْتُ بَيْتُكِ لَا يُنَازِعُكِ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ فَإِذَا قَضَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عِدَّتَهَا مِنْ زَوْجِهَا كَانَتْ أَوْلَى بِبَيْتِهَا تَسْلُكُ إِلَى أَيِّ الْمَسَالِكِ شَاءَتْ‏

That reached Umar, from hissaww words, and he said to his daughter Hafsa, ‘Instruct Ayesha not to expose it regarding the mention of Aliasws for hesaww loves himasws during hissaww life and during hissaww expiry. But rather, the house is your house, no one can dispute you regarding it. So when the woman completes her waiting period from her husband, she would be foremost with her house. She can go to wherever she so desires to’’.⁵⁷⁶

And by the preceding chain, from Al-Kazimasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws Al-Baqirasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘While we were in the presence of the Prophetsaww and hesaww was finding his (last) breath, covered by a light sheet upon hissaww face. Hesaww remained for as long as Allahazwj so Desired himsaww to remain, and we were around himsaww between crying and saying, ‘We are from Allahazwj and are returning to Himazwj’, when hesaww spoke and hesaww said:

ابْيَضَّتْ وُجُوهٌ وَ اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوهٌ وَ سَعِدَ أَقْوَامٌ وَ شَقِيَ آخَرُونَ أَصْحَابُ الْكِسَاءِ الْخَمْسَةِ أَنَا سَيِّدُهُمْ وَ لَا فَخْرَ عِتْرَتِي أَهْلُ بَيْتِي‏ السَّابِقُونَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ‏ يَسْعَدُ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُمْ وَ شَايَعَهُمْ عَلَى دِينِي وَ دِينِ آبَائِي أَنْجَزْتَ وَعْدَكَ‏ يَا رَبِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي

‘Faces would be whitened and faces would be blackened, and a people would be fortunate and others wretched. The companions of the cloak are five, Isaww am their chief and there is no pride. The Peopleasws of mysaww Household are the preceding ones, the ones of Proximity. Fortunate is the one who follows themasws and adheres with themasws upon mysaww Religion and Religion of mysaww forefathersasws. Youazwj Promise is to be fulfilled, O Lordazwj, up to the Day of Qiyamah, regarding the Peopleasws of mysaww Household.

اسْوَدَّتْ وُجُوهُ أَقْوَامٍ وَرَدُوا ظِمَاءً مُظْمَئِينَ إِلَى نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ مَزَّقُوا الثَّقَلَ الْأَوَّلَ الْأَعْظَمَ وَ أَخَّرُوا الثَّقَلَ الْأَصْغَرَ حِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ وَ ثَالِثٌ وَ رَابِعٌ غَلَّقَتِ الرُّهُونَ وَ اسْوَدَّتِ الْوُجُوهُ أَصْحَابُ الْأَمْوَالِ هَلَكَتِ الْأَحْزَابُ قَادَةُ الْأُمَّةِ بَعْضُهَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ فِي النَّارِ كِتَابٌ دَارِسٌ وَ بَابٌ مَهْجُورٌ وَ حُكْمٌ بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ مُبْغِضُ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِ عَلِيٍّ فِي النَّارِ وَ مُحِبُّ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِ عَلِيٍّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ‏.

Faces would be blackened and they will be returned thirsty, parched, to the Fire of Hell, tearing the first great weight, and delaying the other smaller weight. Their Reckoning is upon Allahazwj. Every person is pledged with what it earns, and third and four, the pledges would be closed. And the faces of the owners of the wealth would be blackened. Destroyed are the allies guiding the community with each other in the Fire. A Book forgotten, fled from, and judgments without knowledge. Haters of Aliasws and familyasws of Aliasws would be in the Fire, and those who love Aliasws and family of Aliasws would be in the Paradise’. Then hesaww was silent’’.⁵⁷⁷

Al Kafi – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad and others, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr Al Sayrafi who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The news of death was given to the Prophetsaww himselfsaww and hesaww was healthy, there wasn’t any pain with himsaww. The Trustworthy Spirit descended with it. Hesaww called for the congregational Salat and ordered the Emigrants and the Helpers with the weapons (to be ready). So the people gathered.

فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ فَنَعَى إِلَيْهِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُذَكِّرُ اللَّهَ الْوَالِيَ مِنْ بَعْدِي عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَلَّا يَرْحَمُ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَجَلَّ كَبِيرَهُمْ وَ رَحِمَ ضَعِيفَهُمْ وَ وَقَّرَ عَالِمَهُمْ وَ لَمْ يُضِرَّ بِهِمْ فَيُذِلَّهُمْ وَ لَمْ يُفْقِرْهُمْ فَيُكْفِرَهُمْ وَ لَمْ يُغْلِقْ بَابَهُ دُونَهُمْ فَيَأْكُلَ قَوِيُّهُمْ ضَعِيفَهُمْ وَ لَمْ يَخْبِزْهُمْ‏ فِي بُعُوثِهِمْ فَيَقْطَعَ نَسْلَ أُمَّتِي

The Prophetsaww ascended the Pulpit, and gave the news of death to them himselfsaww, then said: ‘Isaww remind and caution of Allahazwj the ruler from after mesaww upon mysaww community, that he should be merciful upon the group of Muslims, honour their elders and be merciful to their young ones, and dignify their scholars, and do not harm them and humiliate them, and not to impoverish them so they would disbelieve, and not close his door from them so their strong ones would devour their weak ones, and not pain them in their campaigns, so the lineages of mysaww community would be cut off’.

ثُمَ‏ قَالَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ وَ نَصَحْتُ فَاشْهَدُوا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع هَذَا آخِرُ كَلَامٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ‏.

Then hesaww said: ‘Isaww have delivered and advised, therefore, bear witness!’ And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘This is the last speech Rasool-Allahsaww spoke with upon hissaww Pulpit’’.⁵⁷⁸

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salama Bin Al Khattab, from Suleyman bin Sama’at Al Khuzaie, from Ali Bin Ismail, from Amro bin Abu Al Miqdam who said,

‘I hear Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘do you know what are Hisazwj Words: nor disobey you in good (deeds). [60:12]?’ I said, ‘No’. Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to (Syeda) Fatimaasws: ‘When Isaww pass away, so neither scratch a face over mesaww, nor pull our hair over mesaww, nor call with the woe, nor establish (professional) lamenters over mesaww’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا الْمَعْرُوفُ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws said: ‘This is the good deed which Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said’’.⁵⁷⁹

43- فر، تفسير فرات بن إبراهيم مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ مُعَنْعَناً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ‏ لَمَّا أَنْ مَرِضَ‏ النَّبِيُّ ص الْمَرْضَةَ الَّتِي قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا دَخَلْتُ فَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ دَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَاطِمَةُ الزَّهْرَاءُ ع فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ مَا بِهِ خَنَقَتْهَا الْعَبْرَةُ حَتَّى فَاضَتْ دُمُوعُهَا عَلَى خَدَّيْهَا

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Muhammad Bin Al Qasim bin Ubed transmitting from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said,

‘I heard Salman Al-Farsira and hera was saying: ‘When the Prophetsaww was unwell with the illness in which Allahazwj Caused himsaww to pass away, Ira entered and sat down in front of himsaww, and (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahraasws entered. When sheasws saw what was with himsaww, the tears choked herra until herasws tears flowed upon herasws cheeks.

فَلَمَّا أَنْ رَآهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ قَالَتْ وَ كَيْفَ لَا أَبْكِي وَ أَنَا أَرَى مَا بِكَ مِنَ الضَّعْفِ فَمَنْ لَنَا بَعْدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَهَا لَكُمُ اللَّهُ فَتَوَكَّلِي عَلَيْهِ وَ اصْبِرِي كَمَا صَبَرَ آبَاؤُكِ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أُمَّهَاتُكِ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِمْ

When Rasool-Allahsaww saw herasws, hesaww said: ‘What makes youasws cry, O daughterasws?’ Sheasws said: ‘And How can Iasws not cry and Iasws see what weakness there is with yousaww, so who is for usasws after yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said to herasws: ‘Allahazwj is for youasws, so rely upon Himazwj and be patient just as yoursaww forefathersasws from the Prophetsas were patient and so were yourasws mothers from theiras wives.

يَا فَاطِمَةُ أَ وَ مَا عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اخْتَارَ أَبَاكِ فَجَعَلَهُ نَبِيّاً وَ بَعَثَهُ رَسُولًا ثُمَّ عَلِيّاً فَزَوَّجْتُكِ إِيَّاهُ وَ جَعَلَهُ وَصِيّاً فَهُوَ أَعْظَمُ النَّاسِ حَقّاً عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَعْدَ أَبِيكِ وَ أَقْدَمُهُمْ سِلْماً وَ أَعَزُّهُمْ خَطَراً وَ أَجْمَلُهُمْ خُلُقاً وَ أَشَدُّهُمْ فِي اللَّهِ وَ فِيَّ غَضَباً وَ أَشْجَعُهُمْ قَلْباً وَ أَثْبَتُهُمْ وَ أَرْبَطُهُمْ جَأْشاً وَ أَسْخَاهُمْ كَفّاً

O Fatimaasws! Or don’t youasws know that Allahazwj the Exalted Chose yourasws fathersaww and Made himsaww a Prophetsaww and Sent himsaww as a Rasoolsaww. Then Aliasws. Heazwj Married youasws to himasws and Made himasws a successorasws. Thus heasws is the greatest of the people of rights over the Muslims after yourasws fathersaww, and their ancient one of them in being peaceful, and their dearest in importance, and their most beautiful in manners, and their most severe regarding Allahazwj and regarding mesaww in anger, and their bravest in heart, and their firmest and tightest in calmness, and their most generous in palm (giving).

فَفَرِحَتْ بِذَلِكَ الزَّهْرَاءُ ع فَرَحاً شَدِيداً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَلْ سُرِرْتِ‏ يَا بُنَيَّةِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَرَرْتَنِي وَ أَحْزَنْتَنِي قَالَ كَذَلِكِ أُمُورُ الدُّنْيَا يَشُوبُ سُرُورُهَا بِحُزْنِهَا

Al-Zahraasws was happy with that with intense happiness. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Are youasws cheered O daughterasws?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww have cheered measws and aggrieved measws’. Hesaww said: ‘Like that are the affairs of the world, its happiness is contaminated with its grief’.

قَالَ أَ فَلَا أَزِيدُكِ فِي زَوْجِكِ مِنْ مَزِيدِ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَتْ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Hesaww said: ‘Shall Isaww increase for youasws regarding yourasws husbandasws, from the increased goodness, all of it?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ أَخُ الرَّسُولِ وَ وَصِيُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ زَوْجُ بِنْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ ابْنَاهُ سِبْطَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ عَمُّهُ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ عَمُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ أَخُوهُ جَعْفَرٌ الطَّيَّارُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ابْنُ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ الْمَهْدِيُّ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي عِيسَى خَلْفَهُ مِنْكِ وَ مِنْهُ

Hesaww said: ‘Aliasws is the first one to believe in Allahazwj, and heasws is a sonasws of an uncleas of Rasool-Allahsaww, and brother of the Rasoolsaww, and successorasws of Rasoolsaww, and husband of daughterasws of Rasool-Allahsaww, and hisasws two sonsasws are grandsonsasws of Rasool-Allahsaww, and hisasws uncleasws chief of the martyrs, uncleasws of Rasool-Allahsaww, and hisasws brother Ja’farasws is the flyer in the Paradise, sonasws of an uncleasws of Rasool-Allahsaww. Al-Mahdiasws, the oneasws Isaas would be praying Salat behind himasws is from youasws and himasws.

فَهَذِهِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ خِصَالٌ لَمْ يُعْطَهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ وَ لَا أَحَدٌ بَعْدَهُ يَا بِنْتِي هَلْ سَرَرْتُكِ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَ وَ لَا أَزِيدُكِ مَزِيدَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ قَالَتْ بَلَى

So these, O daughterasws, are qualities no one before himasws has been Given, nor will anyone after himasws. O mysaww daughterasws! Shall Isaww cheer youasws?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Or, and shall Isaww increase for youasws the increased goodness, all of it?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes’.

قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ قِسْمَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي وَ زَوْجَكِ فِي أَخْيَرِهِما قِسْماً وَ ذَلِكِ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ فَأَصْحابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ما أَصْحابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الِاثْنَيْنِ ثَلَاثاً فَجَعَلَنِي وَ زَوْجَكِ فِي أَخْيَرِهَا ثُلُثاً وَ ذَلِكِ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ أُولئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted Created the creatures into two divisions and Made mesaww and yourasws husband in the better of the two division, and that is the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: So the companions of the right hand - what are the companions of the right hand? [56:8]. Then Heazwj Made the two to be third and Made mesaww and yourasws husband to be in the best of these thirds, and that is Hisazwj Word: And the foremost are the foremost [56:10] These are the ones of proximity [56:11] In the Blissful Gardens [56:12]’’.⁵⁸⁰

44- أَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ: إِنِّي لَعِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي بَيْتِهِ وَ عِنْدَهُ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ فَذَكَرُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَوْتَهُ فَبَكَى ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ وَ حَوْلَهُ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَ ثَلَاثُونَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ ايتُونِي بِكَتِفٍ أَكْتُبْ لَكُمْ كِتَاباً لَا تَضِلُّوا بَعْدِي وَ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا بَعْدِي

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘I found in the book of Suleym Bin Qays, from Aban Bin Abu Ayyash, from Suleym who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abdullah Bin Abbas in his house, and with him was a group from the Shias. He said, ‘He mentioned Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww passing away (martyrdom), so Ibn Abbas wept and said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said on the Day of Monday – and it was the day in which hesaww passed away –and around himasws were the Peopleasws of hissaww Household and thirty men from hissaww companions: ‘Bring to mesaww a ‘shoulder bone’ so that Isaww may write for you all in it, a writing so that you will never go astray after mesaww and will never disagree (between yourselves) after mesaww’.

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَهْجُرُ فَغَضِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ تَخْتَلِفُونَ وَ أَنَا حَيٌّ فَكَيْفَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي فَتَرَكَ الْكَتِفَ

But the Pharaoh of the community (Umar) prevented it. He said, ‘Surely Rasool-Allahsaww is out of hissaww mind (delirious)’ So Rasool-Allahsaww got angry and said: ‘Isaww am looking at you opposing mesaww while Isaww am still alive, so how will it be after mysaww passing away?’ Hesaww left the shoulder bone’.

قَالَ سُلَيْمٌ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ يَا سُلَيْمُ لَوْ لَا مَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ لَكَتَبَ لَنَا كِتَاباً لَا يَضِلُّ أَحَدٌ وَ لَا يَخْتَلِفُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ وَ مَنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ سَبِيلٌ

Sulaym said, ‘Then I addressed Ibn Abbas, so he said, ‘O Sulaym, Had the man not said that, hesaww would have written for us a writing (as a result of which) no one would have gone astray nor differed’. A man from the group said, ‘And who was that man?’ He said, ‘There is no way to that (naming him as Umar)’.

فَخَلَوْتُ بِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ بَعْدَ مَا قَامَ الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ هُوَ عُمَرُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ صَدَقْتَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً ع وَ سَلْمَانَ وَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ عُمَرُ قَالَ يَا سُلَيْمُ اكْتُمْ إِلَّا مِمَّنْ تَثِقُ بِهِ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكَ فَإِنَّ قُلُوبَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أُشْرِبَتْ حُبَّ هَذَيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ كَمَا أُشْرِبَتْ قُلُوبُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حُبَّ الْعِجْلِ وَ السَّامِرِيِ‏.

I was alone with Ibn Abbas after the group had left, so he said, ‘He was Umar’. I said, ‘You have spoken the truth, I have heard Aliasws, and Salmanra, and Abu Zarrra, and Al-Miqdadra all saying that he was Umar’. He said, ‘Sulaym, conceal it except from the one who is reliable from among your brothers, for the hearts of this community have drunk from the love of these two men (Abu Bakr and Umar) just as the hearts of the children of Israel had drunk the love of the calf and Al-Samirila’’.⁵⁸¹

45- وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً ع يَقُولُ‏ أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ تُوُفِّيَ وَ قَدْ أَسْنَدْتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي وَ رَأْسُهُ عِنْدَ أُذُنِي وَ قَدْ أَصْغَتِ الْمَرْأَتَانِ لِتَسْمَعَا الْكَلَامَ

And from the mentioned book, from Aban, from Suleym who said, ‘I heard Aliasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww divulged secrets to measws on the day hesaww expired and Iasws had cushioned himsaww to myasws chest, and hissaww head was upon my ears and the two women (Ayesha and Hafsa) hearkened to listened the speech.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ سُدَّ مَسَامِعَهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَ رَأَيْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ أَ تَدْرِي مَنْ هُمْ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Block their ears!’ Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! What is yourasws view of the Words of Allahazwj the Exalted: Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7]? Do youasws know who they are?’ Iasws said: ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww are more knowing’.

قَالَ فَإِنَّهُمْ شِيعَتُنَا وَ أَنْصَارُكَ وَ مَوْعِدِي وَ مَوْعِدُهُمُ الْحَوْضُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِذَا جَثَتِ الْأُمَمُ عَلَى رُكَبِهَا وَ بَدَا لِلَّهِ فِي عَرْضِ خَلْقِهِ فَيَدْعُوكَ‏ وَ شِيعَتَكَ فَتَجِيئُونِي غُرّاً مُحَجَّلِينَ شِبَاعاً مَرْوِيِّينَ

Hesaww said: ‘They are ourasws Shias and yourasws helpers, and mysaww appointment with them is at the Fountain on the Day of Qiyamah, then the communities would be kneeling upon their knees and Allahazwj would Begin in the display of Hisazwj creatures, and Heazwj will Call youasws and yourasws Shias, and they will be coming resplendent (of faces), satiated, saturated.

يَا عَلِيُ‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ وَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ خالِدِينَ فِيها أُولئِكَ هُمْ شَرُّ الْبَرِيَّةِ فَهُمُ الْيَهُودُ وَ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ يُبْعَثُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَشْقِيَاءَ جِيَاعاً عِطَاشاً مُسْوَدّاً وُجُوهُهُمْ‏.

O Aliasws! Surely, those who commit Kufr from the People of the Book and the Polytheists would be in Fire of Hell, being eternally therein. Those, they are the worst of the Created beings [98:6]. So, they are the Jews, and the clan of Umayya and their adherents. They will be Resurrected on the Day of Qiyamah as wretched, hungry, thirsty, their faces blackened’’.⁵⁸²

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Rabah Al Ashjaie, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub Al Asady, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Al Rawas Al Khas’amy, from Aday Bin Zayd Al Hajry, from Abu Khalid Al Wasity, ‘Ibrahim Bin Muhammad said, ‘I met Abu Khalid Amro Bin Khalid and he narrated to me,

‘From Zayd son of Ali (Bin Al-Husaynasws), from his fatherasws, from hisasws grandfather Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws having said: ‘Iasws was in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww during hissaww illness in which hesaww passed away, and hissaww head was in myasws lap, and Al-Abbas was wiping (the perspiration) away from the face of Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ إِغْمَاءً ثُمَّ فَتَحَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبَّاسُ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ اقْبَلْ وَصِيَّتِي وَ اضْمَنْ دَيْنِي وَ عِدَاتِي فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ أَجْوَدُ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ وَ لَيْسَ فِي مَالِي وَفَاءٌ لِدَيْنِكَ وَ عِدَاتِكَ

There was faintness upon himsaww with a fainting. Then hesaww opened hissaww eyes and said: ‘O Abbas! O uncle of Rasool-Allahsaww! Accept mysaww bequest and responsibility of mysaww debts and mysaww promises’. Al-Abbas said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww are more generous than the flowing wind and there isn’t in my wealth to fulfil yoursaww debts and yoursaww Promises’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً يُعِيدُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ الْعَبَّاسُ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ يُجِيبُهُ بِمَا قَالَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ

The Prophetsaww said that thrice, repeating it to him, and Al-Abbas, during all that, was answering himsaww with what he said the first time.

قَالَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لَأَقُولَنَّهَا لِمَنْ يَقْبَلُهَا وَ لَا يَقُولُ يَا عَبَّاسُ مِثْلَ مَقَالَتِكَ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ اقْبَلْ وَصِيَّتِي وَ اضْمَنْ دَيْنِي وَ عِدَاتِي

Heasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘Isaww shall be saying it to the one who will accept it and will not be saying, O Abbas, like your words’. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Accept mysaww bequest and responsibility of mysaww debts and mysaww promises.

قَالَ فَخَنَقَتْنِي الْعَبْرَةُ وَ ارْتَجَّ جَسَدِي وَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَذْهَبُ وَ يَجِي‏ءُ فِي حَجْرِي فَقَطَرَتْ دُمُوعِي عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ لَمْ أَقْدِرْ أَنْ أُجِيبَهُ ثُمَّ ثَنَّى فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ اقْبَلْ وَصِيَّتِي وَ اضْمَنْ دَيْنِي وَ عِدَاتِي

Heasws said: ‘The tears chocked measws and myasws body shook, and Iasws looked at the head of Rasool-Allahsaww, going and coming (waking up intermittently) in myasws lap, and myasws tears dropped upon hissaww face, and Iasws was not able upon answering himsaww. Then hesaww said it for a second time, said: ‘O Aliasws! Accept mysaww bequest and responsibility of mysaww debts and mysaww promises’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي قَالَ أَجْلِسْنِي فَأَجْلَسْتُهُ فَكَانَ ظَهْرُهُ فِي صَدْرِي فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ أَخِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ وَصِيِّي وَ خَلِيفَتِي فِي أَهْلِي

Heasws said: ‘Iasws said: ‘Yes, may myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘Sit mesaww up’. So, Iasws sat himsaww up, and hissaww back was in myasws chest. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws are mysaww brotherasws in the world and the Hereafter, and mysaww successorasws, and mysaww Caliph among mysaww family’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ هَلُمَّ سَيْفِي وَ دِرْعِي وَ بَغْلَتِي وَ سَرْجَهَا وَ لِجَامَهَا وَ مِنْطَقَتِيَ الَّتِي أَشُدُّهَا عَلَى دِرْعِي فَجَاءَ بِلَالٌ بِهَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ فَوَقَفَ بِالْبَغْلَةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ قُمْ فَاقْبِضْ

Then hesaww said: ‘O Bilal! Bring mysaww sword, and mysaww armour, and mysaww mule and its saddle and its reins, and mysaww belt which Isaww used to tie upon mysaww armour’. Bilal came with these things and paused with the mule in front of Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Arise and take possession’.

قَالَ فَقُمْتُ وَ قَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَجَلَسَ مَكَانِي فَقُمْتُ فَقَبَضْتُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ بِهِ إِلَى مَنْزِلِكَ فَانْطَلَقْتُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَائِماً فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إِلَى خَاتَمِهِ فَنَزَعَهُ ثُمَّ دَفَعَهُ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ هَاكَ يَا عَلِيُّ هَذَا لَكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْبَيْتُ غَاصٌّ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ

Heasws said: ‘Iasws Stood up, and Al Abbas stood up and sat it myasws place. Iasws took possession of that. Hesaww said: ‘Go with it to yourasws house’. Iasws went, then came back and stood in front of Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww looked at measws then deliberated to hissaww ring and handed it to measws and said: ‘Here, O Aliasws, this is for youasws in the world and the Hereafter’, and the house was full from the clan of Hashimas and the Muslims.

فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لَا تُخَالِفُوا عَلِيّاً فَتَضِلُّوا وَ لَا تَحْسُدُوهُ فَتَكْفُرُوا يَا عَبَّاسُ قُمْ مِنْ مَكَانِ عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ تُقِيمُ الشَّيْخَ وَ تُجْلِسُ الْغُلَامَ فَأَعَادَهَا عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَقَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَنَهَضَ مُغْضَباً وَ جَلَسْتُ مَكَانِي‏

Heasws said: ‘O clan of Hashimas! O community of the Muslims! Do not oppose Aliasws for you will stray, and do not envy himasws, you will be committing Kufr. O Abbas! Stand from the place of Aliasws’. He said, ‘Yousaww telling the old man to stand and the boy to sit down?’ Hesaww repeated it three times to him. Al Abbas arose standing up angrily and Iasws sat in myasws place.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَبَّاسُ يَا عَمَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لَا أَخْرُجْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَنَا سَاخِطٌ عَلَيْكَ فَيُدْخِلَكَ سَخَطِي عَلَيْكَ النَّارَ فَرَجَعَ فَجَلَسَ‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Abbas! O uncle of Rasool-Allahsaww! Isaww have yet to exit from the world and Isaww am enraged at you. Mysaww anger upon you would cause you to enter the Fire’. He returned and sat down’’.

كشف، كشف الغمة عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ مِثْلَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَتَكْفُرُوا.

(The book) ‘Kashf Al-Ghumma’ – From Aliasws similar to it up to hissaww words: ‘you will be committing Kufr’’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ عَنْ ثُمَامَةَ مِنْ حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ فِي مَعْنَاهُ‏ فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ ائْتِنِي بِوَلَدَيَّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَانْطَلَقَ فَجَاءَ بِهِمَا فَأَسْنَدَهُمَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَشَمُّهُمَا قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمَا قَدْ غَمَّاهُ أَيْ أَكْرَبَاهُ فَذَهَبْتُ لِأُؤَخِّرَهُمَا عَنْهُ

Then he said, ‘From Sumama from another Hadeeth in its meaning: ‘Hesaww said: ‘O Bilal! Bring mysaww two sonsasws Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws’. He went and came with themasws and cushioned them upon hissaww chest. Hesaww went on to smell themasws. Aliasws said: ‘Iasws thought theyasws had fainted himsaww, i.e. disliked it, so Iasws went to take themasws away from himsaww.

فَقَالَ دَعْهُمَا يَشَمَّانِي وَ أَشَمَّهُمَا وَ يَتَزَوَّدَا مِنِّي وَ أَتَزَوَّدْ مِنْهُمَا فَسَيَلْقَيَانِ مِنْ بَعْدِي زِلْزَالًا وَ أَمْراً عُضَالًا فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ يَحِيفُهُمَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَهُمَا وَ صَالِحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘Leave them to smell mesaww and Isaww to smell themasws, and theyasws to provide from mesaww and Isaww to provide from themasws. Theyasws will be facing incurable illness and a mighty matter from after mesaww. So, may Allahazwj Curse the one who frightens themasws. O Allahazwj! Isaww entrust them to Youazwj, and the righteous Momineen’’.⁵⁸³

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far al Razaz, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Muhammad BiN Saeed Bin Azida, from Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, and from Zayd son of Aliasws (Bin Al-Husaynasws), both of themasws from theirasws fatherasws Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, from hisasws fatherasws Al-Husaynasws, from hisasws fatherasws Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww worsened in hissaww illness in which hesaww passed away, hissaww head was in myasws lap and the house was filled from hissaww companions, from the Emigrants, and the Helpers; and Al-Abbas was in front of himsaww wiping (perspiration) from hissaww face with an end of his cloak.

فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُغْمَى عَلَيْهِ سَاعَةً وَ يُفِيقُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ وَجَدَ خِفّاً فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْعَبَّاسِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبَّاسُ يَا عَمَّ النَّبِيِّ اقْبَلْ وَصِيَّتِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ فِي أَزْوَاجِي وَ اقْضِ دَيْنِي وَ أَنْجِزْ عِدَاتِي وَ أَبْرِئْ ذِمَّتِي

Rasool-Allahsaww went on closing hissaww eyes for a while and waking up for a while. Then hesaww found lightness and faced towards Al-Abbas and said: ‘O Abbas! O uncle of the Prophetsaww! Accept mysaww bequest regarding mysaww family, and regarding mysaww wives, and pay off mysaww debts, and fulfil mysaww promises, and free mesaww from mysaww responsibilities’.

فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَنَا شَيْخٌ ذُو عِيَالٍ كَثِيرٍ غَيْرُ ذِي مَالٍ مَمْدُودٍ وَ أَنْتَ أَجْوَدُ مِنَ السَّحَابِ الْهَاطِلِ وَ الرِّيحِ الْمُرْسَلَةِ فَلَوْ صَرَفْتَ ذَلِكَ عَنِّي إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَطْوَقُ لَهُ مِنِّي

Al-Abbas said, ‘O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj! I am an old man with a lot of dependants, not being with extensive wealth, and yousaww are more generous than the laden cloud and the blowing wind, if yousaww could turn that away from me to someone who is more enduring for it than I am.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَا إِنِّي سَأُعْطِيهَا مَنْ يَأْخُذُهَا بِحَقِّهَا وَ مَنْ لَا يَقُولُ مِثْلَ مَا تَقُولُ‏ يَا عَلِيُّ هَاكَهَا خَالِصَةً لَا يُحَاقَّكَ أَحَدٌ يَا عَلِيُّ اقْبَلْ وَصِيَّتِي وَ أَنْجِزْ مَوَاعِيدِي وَ أَدِّ دَيْنِي يَا عَلِيُّ اخْلُفْنِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ بَلِّغْ عَنِّي مِنْ بَعْدِي

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘But Isaww shall give it to one who will take it with its right, and one who will not be saying like what you said. O Aliasws! Here it is purely for youasws, no one should dispute youasws. O Aliasws! Accept mysaww bequest and fulfil mysaww promises, and pay back mysaww debts. O Aliasws! Be mysaww Caliph regarding mysaww family and deliver on mysaww behalf from after mesaww’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع لَمَّا نَعَى إِلَيَّ نَفْسَهُ رَجَفَ فُؤَادِي وَ أُلْقِيَ عَلَيَّ لِقَوْلِهِ الْبُكَاءُ فَلَمْ أَقْدِرْ أَنْ أُجِيبَهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ ثُمَّ عَادَ لِقَوْلِهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَ وَ تَقْبَلُ وَصِيَّتِي

Aliasws said: When hesaww gave measws the news of hissaww own expiry, my heart palpitated and Iasws was thrown into the crying to hissaww words, and Iasws was not able to answer himsaww anything. Then hesaww repeated hissaww words. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Will youasws accept mysaww bequest?’

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ قَدْ خَنَقَتْنِي الْعَبْرَةُ وَ لَمْ أَكَدْ أَنْ أُبِينَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ص يَا بِلَالُ ايتِنِي بِسَوَادِي ايتِنِي بِذِي الْفَقَارِ وَ دِرْعِي ذَاتِ الْفُضُولِ ايتِنِي بِمِغْفَرِي ذِي الْجَبِينِ وَ رَايَتِيَ الْعُقَابِ ايتِنِي بِالْعَنْزَةِ وَ الْمَمْشُوقِ فَأَتَى بِلَالٌ بِذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ إِلَّا دِرْعَهُ كَانَتْ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُرْتَهَنَةً

Heasws said: ‘Iasws said, and the tears had choked measws, and Iasws did not want to show it: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. Hesaww said: ‘O Bilal! Bring mesaww mysaww black clothes, come to mesaww with Zulfiqar, and mysaww armour ‘Zat Al Fusool’, come to mesaww with mysaww helmet ‘Zil Jabeen’, and mysaww flag ‘Al Uqab’, and the goat and the sheep’. Bilal came with that, all of it except hissaww armour which had been pawned, on that day.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ايتِنِي بِالْمُرْتَجِزِ وَ الْعَضْبَاءِ ايتِنِي بِالْيَعْفُورِ وَ الدُّلْدُلِ فَأَتَى بِهَا فَوَقَّفَهَا بِالْبَابِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ايتِنِي بِالْأَتْحَمِيَّةِ وَ السَّحَابِ فَأَتَى بِهِمَا فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَدْعُو بِشَيْ‏ءٍ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَافْتَقَدَ عِصَابَةً كَانَ يَشُدُّ بِهَا بَطْنَهُ فِي الْحَرْبِ فَطَلَبَهَا فَأُتِيَ بِهَا وَ الْبَيْتُ غَاصٌّ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِمَنْ فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ

Then hesaww come to mesaww with ‘Al Murtajiz’ and ‘Al Azba’a’ (horses), come to mesaww with ‘Al Yafour’ and ‘Al Duldul’ (donkeys). He came with these and paused at the door. Then hesaww said: ‘Come to mesaww with ‘Al Lat’hamiya’ and ‘Al Sahaab’ (turbans). He came with these. Hesaww did not cease to call with thing by thing. Hesaww missed a belt hesaww used to tie upon hissaww belly during the war and sought it. Hesaww was brought it, and the house was filled with the ones in it, from the Emigrants and the Helpers.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ قُمْ فَاقْبِضْ هَذَا وَ مَدَّ إِصْبَعَهُ وَ قَالَ فِي حَيَاةٍ مِنِّي وَ شَهَادَةِ مَنْ فِي الْبَيْتِ لِكَيْلَا يُنَازِعَكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَعْدِي فَقُمْتُ وَ مَا أَكَادُ أَمْشِي عَلَى قَدَمٍ حَتَّى اسْتَوْدَعْتُ ذَلِكَ جَمِيعاً مَنْزِلِي

Then hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Stand and take possession of this’, and extended hissaww finger and said: ‘During mysaww lifetime, from mesaww, the ones in the house would witness lest someone contends you from after mesaww’. Iasws stood up and almost could not walk upon the feet until Iasws deposited all that in myasws house.

فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَجْلِسْنِي فَأَجْلَسْتُهُ وَ أَسْنَدْتُهُ إِلَى صَدْرِي قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ رَأْسَهُ لَيَثْقُلُ ضَعْفاً وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَسْمَعُ أَقْصَى أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَ أَدْنَاهُمْ إِنَّ أَخِي وَ وَصِيِّي وَ وَزِيرِي وَ خَلِيفَتِي فِي أَهْلِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ يَقْضِي دَيْنِي وَ يُنْجِزُ مَوْعِدِي

Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Sit measws up!’ Iasws sat himsaww upright and cushioned himsaww to myasws chest’. Aliasws said: ‘And Iasws saw Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww head was heavy out of weakness, and hesaww was saying, the far ones of people of the house and their near ones heard: ‘Mysaww brother, and mysaww successor, and mysaww Vizier, and mysaww Caliph among mysaww family is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Heasws will pay off mysaww debts, and fulfil mysaww promises.

يَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ لَا تُبْغِضُوا عَلِيّاً وَ لَا تُخَالِفُوا عَنْ أَمْرِهِ فَتَضِلُّوا وَ لَا تَحْسُدُوهُ وَ تَرْغَبُوا عَنْهُ فَتَكْفُرُوا أَضْجِعْنِي يَا عَلِيُّ فَأَضْجَعْتُهُ

O clan of Hashimas! O clan of Abdul Muttalibasws! Do not hate Aliasws, nor oppose himasws about hisasws command for you will stray, nor envy himasws and turn away from himsaww, for you will be committing Kufr. Make mesaww lie down, O Aliasws!’ Iasws laid himsaww down.

فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ ايتِنِي بِوَلَدَيَّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَانْطَلَقَ فَجَاءَ بِهِمَا فَأَسْنَدَهُمَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ فَجَعَلَ يَشَمُّهُمَا

Hesaww said: ‘O Bilal! Come to mesaww with mysaww two sonsasws Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws’. He went and came with themasws, and held them to hissaww chest, and hesaww went on to smell themasws.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُمَا قَدْ غَمَّاهُ قَالَ أَبُو الْجَارُودِ يَعْنِي أَكْرَبَاهُ فَذَهَبْتُ لِآخُذَهُمَا عَنْهُ فَقَالَ دَعْهُمَا يَا عَلِيُّ يَشَمَّانِي وَ أَشَمَّهُمَا وَ يَتَزَوَّدَا مِنِّي وَ أَتَزَوَّدْ مِنْهُمَا فَسَيَلْقَيَانِ مِنْ بَعْدِي زِلْزَالًا وَ أَمْراً عُضَالًا فَلَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ يُخِيفُهُمَا اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَهُمَا وَ صَالِحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws thought theyasws had fainted himsaww’. Abu Al-Jaroud said, ‘It means ‘Distressed himsaww’. ‘So Iasws went to take themasws away from himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘Leave them, O Aliasws! They can smell mesaww and Isaww can smell themasws, and theyasws can be provided from mesaww and Isaww provided from themasws, for they will be facing from after mesaww, incurable illness and a chronic matter. May Allahazwj Curse the one who frightens them. O Allahazwj! Isaww am entrusting themasws to Youazwj and the righteous Momineen’’.⁵⁸⁴

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Muhammad B in Feyruz Bin Giyas Al Jallab at the gate of gates, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazl Bin Mukhtar Al Baby, from his father, from Al Hakam Bin Zuheyr, from Al Sumalo, from Al Qasim Bin Awf, from Abu Al Tufayl,

‘From Salman Al-Farsira having said, ‘I entered to see Rasool-Allahsaww during hissaww illness in which hesaww passed away, and Ira sat down in front of himsaww, and Ira asked himsaww about what hesaww was finding (how hesaww was), and (then) Ira stood up in order to exit. Hesaww said to mera: ‘Be seated O Salmanra, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Show youra a matter which his from the best of the matters’.

فَجَلَسْتُ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا كَذَلِكَ إِذْ دَخَلَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ دَخَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ابْنَتُهُ فِيمَنْ دَخَلَ فَلَمَّا رَأَتْ مَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنَ الضَّعْفِ خَنَقَتْهَا الْعَبْرَةُ حَتَّى فَاضَ دَمْعُهَا عَلَى خَدِّهَا

Ira sat down. While Ira was like that when a man from hissaww family members and a man from hissaww companions entered, and hissaww daughterasws Fatimaasws entered among the ones who entered. When sheasws saw what weakness there was with Rasool-Allahsaww, the tears choked herra until herasws tears flowed upon herasws face.

فَأَبْصَرَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ أَقَرَّ اللَّهُ عَيْنَكِ وَ لَا أَبْكَاهَا قَالَتْ وَ كَيْفَ لَا أَبْكِي وَ أَنَا أَرَى مَا بِكَ مِنَ الضَّعْفِ قَالَ لَهَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ تَوَكَّلِي عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ اصْبِرِي كَمَا صَبَرَ آبَاؤُكِ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أُمَّهَاتُكِ أَزْوَاجُهُمْ أَ لَا أُبَشِّرُكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ

Rasool-Allahsaww saw that and hesaww said: ‘What makes youasws cry, O daughterasws? May Allahazwj Delight yourasws eyes and not Make them cry!’ Sheasws said: ‘And how can Iasws not cry and Iasws see what weakness there is with yousaww?’ Hesaww said to herasws: ‘Rely upon Allahazwj and be patient just as yourasws forefathers from the Prophetsas and your foremothers from theiras wives did. Shall Isaww give youasws glad tidings, O Fatimaasws?’

قَالَتْ بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَوْ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتِ قَالَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اخْتَارَ أَبَاكِ فَجَعَلَهُ نَبِيّاً وَ بَعَثَهُ إِلَى كَافَّةِ الْخَلْقِ رَسُولًا ثُمَّ اخْتَارَ عَلِيّاً فَأَمَرَنِي فَزَوَّجْتُكِ إِيَّاهُ وَ اتَّخَذْتُهُ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّي وَزِيراً وَ وَصِيّاً

Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj!’ Or sheasws said: ‘O fathersaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Do youasws not know that Allahazwj the Exalted Chose yourasws fathersaww and Made himsaww a Prophetsaww, and Sent himsaww to the entirety of the creatures as a Rasoolsaww. Then Heazwj Chose Aliasws and Commanded mesaww to marry yousaww to himasws, and take himasws by the Command of mysaww Lordazwj as a Vizier and a successorasws.

يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَعْظَمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَعْدِي حَقّاً وَ أَقْدَمُهُمْ سِلْماً وَ أَعْلَمُهُمْ عِلْماً وَ أَحْلَمُهُمْ حِلْماً وَ أَثْبَتُهُمْ فِي الْمِيزَانِ قَدْراً

O Fatimaasws! Surely Aliasws is the Muslim with the greatest of rights over the Muslims after mesaww, and their most ancient one of peace, and most knowledgeable of them in knowledge, and their most forbearing in forbearance, and their most steadfast in the scale of worth’.

فَاسْتَبْشَرَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ قَالَتْ نَعَمْ يَا أَبَتِ قَالَ أَ فَلَا أَزِيدُكِ فِي بَعْلِكِ وَ ابْنِ عَمِّكِ مِنْ مَزِيدِ الْخَيْرِ وَ فَوَاضِلِهِ قَالَتْ بَلَى يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ

Fatimaasws was cheered and Rasool-Allahsaww turned to face herasws and said: ‘Did Isaww cheer youasws, O Fatimaasws?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O fatherasws’. Hesaww said: ‘Shall Isaww increase youasws regarding yourasws husband, and a sonasws of yourasws uncleas, from increased goodness and hisasws meritorious-ness?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj!’

قَالَ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ رَسُولِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ هُوَ وَ خَدِيجَةُ أُمُّكِ وَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ وَازَرَنِي عَلَى مَا جِئْتُ بِهِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أَخِي وَ صَفِيِّي وَ أَبُو وُلْدِي إِنَّ عَلِيّاً أُعْطِيَ خِصَالًا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ لَمْ يُعْطَهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ وَ لَا يُعْطَاهَا أَحَدٌ بَعْدَهُ فَأَحْسِنِي عَزَاكِ وَ اعْلَمِي أَنَّ أَبَاكِ لَاحِقٌ‏ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

Hesaww said: ‘Aliasws is the first one (known to people) to believe in Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, from this community. Heasws and yourasws motheras Khadeejaas, and the first one to back mesaww upon what Isaww had come with. O Fatimaasws! Aliasws is mysaww brotherasws, and mysaww ambassador, and fatherasws of mysaww two (grand) sonsasws. Aliasws has been Given such qualities from the goodness, no one before himasws has been Given nor will anyone be Given after himasws. So be good in yourasws consolation and know that yourasws fathersaww is to meet Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتِ قَدْ سَرَرْتَنِي وَ أَحْزَنْتَنِي قَالَ كَذَلِكِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ أُمُورُ الدُّنْيَا يَشُوبُ سُرُورَهَا حُزْنُهَا وَ صَفْوَهَا كَدِرُهَا أَ فَلَا أَزِيدُكِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ قَالَتْ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Sheasws said: ‘O fathersaww! Yousaww have cheered measws and aggrieved measws’. Hesaww said: ‘Like that, O daughter, are the affairs of the world, its happiness is contaminated with its grief, and its cleanliness with its filth. Shall Isaww increase for youasws O daughterasws?’ Sheasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَجَعَلَهُمْ قِسْمَيْنِ فَجَعَلَنِي وَ عَلِيّاً فِي خَيْرِهِمَا قِسْماً وَ ذَلِكِ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ أَصْحابُ الْيَمِينِ ما أَصْحابُ الْيَمِينِ

Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted Created the creature and Made them as two divisions, and Made mesaww and Aliasws to be in the better of the two divisions, and that is Hisazwj Word: And the Companions of the right hand - what are the Companions of the right hand? [56:27].

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ الْقِسْمَيْنِ قَبَائِلَ فَجَعَلَنَا فِي خَيْرِهَا قَبِيلَةً وَ ذَلِكِ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ جَعَلْناكُمْ شُعُوباً وَ قَبائِلَ لِتَعارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقاكُمْ‏

Then Heazwj Made the two divisions as tribes and Made usasws to be in the best of its tribes, and that is the Word of the Mighty and Majestic: and Made you as nations and tribes in order to recognise each other. Surely, the most honourable of you in the Presence of Allah is the most pious of you. [49:13].

‏ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ القَبَائِلَ بُيُوتاً فَجَعَلَنَا فِي خَيْرِهَا بَيْتاً فِي قَوْلِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ‏ إِنَّما يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ يُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهِيراً

Then Heazwj Made the tribes into Households and Made usasws to the in the best of its Households, in Hisazwj Words, the Glorious: But rather, Allah Intends to Keep the uncleanness away from you, People of the Household, and Purify you (with) a Purification [33:33].

ثُمَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اخْتَارَنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ اخْتَارَ عَلِيّاً وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ وَ اخْتَارَكِ فَأَنَا سَيِّدُ وُلْدِ آدَمَ وَ عَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْعَرَبِ وَ أَنْتِ سَيِّدَةُ النِّسَاءِ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكِ الْمَهْدِيُّ يَمْلَأُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ بِمَنْ قَبْلَهُ جَوْراً.

Then Allahazwj the Exalted Chose mesaww from mysaww family members and Chose Aliasws and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and Chose youasws, so Isaww am the chief of the sons of Adamas, and Aliasws is the chief of the Arabs, and youasws are the chieftess of the women, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are two chiefs of the youths of the inhabitants of the Paradise, and from yourasws offspring is Al-Mahdiasws. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic will Fill the earth with justice by himasws just as it would have been filled with tyranny by the ones before himasws’’.⁵⁸⁵

3- ع، علل الشرائع أَبِي وَ ابْنُ الْوَلِيدِ مَعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: السُّنَّةُ فِي الْحَنُوطِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَماً وَ ثُلُثٌ‏

(The book) ‘Illal Al-Sharaie’ – My father and Ibn Al-Waleed both together from Muhammad Al-Attar, from Al-Ash’ary, from Ibn Hashim, from Ibn Sinan, raising it, said: ‘The Sunnah regarding the embalmment is thirteen Dirhams and a third’.

قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ وَ رَوَوْا أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع نَزَلَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِحَنُوطٍ وَ كَانَ وَزْنُهُ أَرْبَعِينَ دِرْهَماً فَقَسَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثَلَاثَةَ أَجْزَاءٍ جُزْءٍ لَهُ وَ جُزْءٍ لِعَلِيٍّ وَ جُزْءٍ لِفَاطِمَةَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ‏.

Muhammad Bin Ahmad said, ‘And it is reported that Jibraeelas descended unto Rasool-Allahsaww with embalmment, and its weight was of forty dirhams. Rasool-Allahsaww divided it into three parts – a part for himsaww, and a part for Aliasws, and a part for (Syeda) Fatimaasws’’.

كا، الكافي عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: السُّنَّةُ فِي الْحَنُوطِ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ دِرْهَماً وَ ثُلُثٌ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الْخَبَرِ.

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Al Talaqani, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Saeed Bin Bashir, from Ibn Kasib, from Abdullah Bin Maymun Al Makky who said,

‘It was narrated to us by Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, two men from Quraysh came to see himasws. Heasws said: ‘Shall I narrate to you both about Rasool-Allahsaww?’ They said, ‘Yes, narrate to us about Abu Al-Qasimsaww’.

قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي ع يَقُولُ لَمَّا كَانَ قَبْلَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ هَبَطَ عَلَيْهِ‏ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ إِكْرَاماً وَ تَفْضِيلًا لَكَ وَ خَاصَّةً يَسْأَلُكَ عَمَّا هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْكَ يَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَجِدُنِي يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَغْمُوماً وَ أَجِدُنِي يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَكْرُوباً

Heasws said: ‘Iasws heard myasws fatherasws saying: ‘When it was before the expiry of Rasool-Allahsaww by three days, Jibraeelas descended unto himsaww and said: ‘O Ahmadsaww! Allahazwj Sent meas to yousaww as an honour and merit for yousaww and especially to ask yousaww about what Heazwj is more Knowing with it than yousaww are. How are yousaww feeling, O Muhammadsaww?’ The Prophetsaww said: ‘Isaww find myselfsaww, O Jibraeelas, gloomy and Isaww find myselfsaww, O Jibraeelas stressed’.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ هَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ وَ مَعَهُمَا مَلَكٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فِي الْهَوَاءِ عَلَى سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ فَسَبَقَهُمْ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ إِكْرَاماً لَكَ وَ تَفْضِيلًا لَكَ وَ خَاصَّةً يَسْأَلُكَ عَمَّا هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ أَجِدُنِي يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَغْمُوماً وَ أَجِدُنِي يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَكْرُوباً

When it was the third day, Jibraeelas descended with the Angel of death and with them was an Angel called Ismaeelas in the air upon seventy thousand Angels. Jibraeelas preceded them and said: ‘O Ahmadsaww! Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent meas to yousaww as an honour for yousaww and a merit for yousaww and especially to ask yousaww about what Heazwj is more Knowing with than yousaww are. Heazwj Said: “How are yousaww feeling, O Muhammadsaww?”’ Hesaww said: ‘‘Isaww find myselfsaww, O Jibraeelas, gloomy and Isaww find myselfsaww, O Jibraeelas stressed’.

فَاسْتَأْذَنَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا أَحْمَدُ هَذَا مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْكَ لَمْ يَسْتَأْذِنْ عَلَى أَحَدٍ قَبْلَكَ وَ لَا يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ قَالَ ائْذَنْ لَهُ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع

The Angel of death sought permission. Jibraeelas said: ‘O Ahmadsaww. This is the Angel of death seeking permission to yousaww. He did not seek permission unto anyone before yousaww nor will he be seeking permission unto anyone after yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘Permit him’. So, Jibraeelas permitted him.

فَأَقْبَلَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُطِيعَكَ فِيمَا تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَمَرْتَنِي بِقَبْضِ نَفْسِكَ قَبَضْتُهَا وَ إِنْ كَرِهْتَ تَرَكْتُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَ تَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ قَالَ نَعَمْ بِذَلِكَ أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُطِيعَكَ فِيمَا تَأْمُرُنِي

He came until he paused in front of himsaww and said: ‘O Ahmadsaww! Allahazwj Sent me to yousaww and Commanded me to obey yousaww in whatever yousaww order me. If yousaww were to order me with capturing yoursaww soul, I shall capture it, and if yousaww dislike, I shall leave it’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Will you do that, O Angel of death?’ He said, ‘Yes, that is what I am Commanded with, that I obey yousaww in whatever yousaww order me’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى قَدِ اشْتَاقَ إِلَى لِقَائِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ امْضِ لِمَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع هَذَا آخِرُ وَطْئِيَ الْأَرْضَ إِنَّمَا كُنْتَ حَاجَتِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا

Jibraeelas said to himsaww: ‘O Ahmadsaww! Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted is Desirous in meeting yousaww’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Angel of death! Continue to what you have been Commanded with’. Jibraeelas said: ‘This is the last time Ias shall tread the earth. But rather it used to be myas need from the world’.

فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى رُوحِهِ الطَّيِّبِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ جَاءَتِ التَّعْزِيَةُ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ يَسْمَعُونَ حِسَّهُ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَ شَخْصَهُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ‏ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَ إِنَّما تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ

When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, may Allahazwj Send Salwat upon hissaww good soul and upon hissaww pure Progenyasws. The consolation came. A comer came, they heard his faint sound and did not see his person. He said, ‘The greetings be upon you all and Mercy of Allahazwj: Every self shall taste the death, and rather you will be paid fully your Recompense on the Day of Judgement [3:185].

إِنَّ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ خَلَفاً مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَ دَرَكاً مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فَاتَ فَبِاللَّهِ فَثِقُوا وَ إِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا فَإِنَّ الْمُصَابَ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ‏

Surely in Allahazwj there is consolation from every difficulty and a replacement from every perishing one, and coming across all that is lost. Therefore rely with Allahazwj and hope to Himazwj, for the afflicted one is one who is deprived of the Rewards. And the greetings be upon you and Mercy of Allahazwj’.

‘From Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from Aliasws: ‘The grave of Rasool-Allahsaww was raised from the ground by a measurement of a palm’s width and the water was sprinkled upon it. Aliasws said: ‘And the Sunnah is that the water be sprinkled upon the grave’’.⁵⁹⁰

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – In a report of Suleym Bin Qays Al Hilali,

‘From Salman Al-Farsira having said: ‘Ira came to Aliasws and heasws was washing Rasool-Allahsaww, and hesaww had bequeathed that no one other than Aliasws should wash himsaww and informed about himsaww that heasws will not want to turn over any limb from himsaww except it would be turned over for himasws.

وَ قَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ يُعِينُنِي عَلَى غُسْلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ

And Amir Al-Momineenasws had said to Rasool-Allahsaww: ‘Who will assist measws upon washing yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas’.

فَلَمَّا غَسَّلَهُ وَ كَفَّنَهُ أَدْخَلَنِي وَ أَدْخَلَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادَ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ حَسَناً وَ حُسَيْناً ع فَتَقَدَّمَ وَ صَفَفْنَا خَلْفَهُ وَ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَ عَائِشَةُ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ لَا تَعْلَمُ قَدْ أَخَذَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِبَصَرِهَا

When heasws had washing himsaww, heasws entered mera (into the room), and entered Abu Zarrra, and Al Miqdadra, and Fatimaasws, and Hassanasws, and Husaynasws. Heasws proceeded and we formed rows behind himasws and prayed Salat upon himsaww, and Ayesha was in the room, not knowing, Jibraeelas had seized her vision.

ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ عَشَرَةً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَيُصَلُّونَ وَ يَخْرُجُونَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.

Then entered ten from the Emigrants and ten from the Helpers and they were praying Salat and exiting until there did not remain anyone from the Emigrants and the Helpers except he had prayed Salat upon himsaww’.⁵⁹¹

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Ibn Makhlad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahid, from Muhammad Bin Ammar Al Abasy, from Ahmad Bin Tariq, from Ali Bin Hashim, from Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah, from Awn Bin Abu Rafie, from his father,

‘From Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws having said: ‘I came to the Prophetsaww of Allahazwj and hesaww was ill, and there hissaww head was in the lap of a man as handsome as Iasws have seen from the creatures, and the Prophetsaww was asleep. When Iasws entered to see himsaww, the man said: ‘Approach to the sonsaww of yourasws uncleas, for youasws are more rightful with himsaww than me’.

فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُمَا فَقَامَ الرَّجُلُ وَ جَلَسْتُ مَكَانَهُ وَ وَضَعْتُ رَأْسَ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي حَجْرِي كَمَا كَانَ فِي حَجْرِ الرَّجُلِ فَمَكَثْتُ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص اسْتَيْقَظَ فَقَالَ أَيْنَ الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي كَانَ رَأْسِي فِي حَجْرِهِ فَقُلْتُ لَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ دَعَانِي إِلَيْكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْنُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ فَأَنْتَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنِّي ثُمَّ قَامَ فَجَلَسْتُ مَكَانَهُ

Iasws went closer to them, and the man stood up and Iasws sat in his place and placed the head of the Prophetsaww in myasws lap just as it had been in the lap of the man. Iasws remained for a while then the Prophetsaww woke up and said: ‘Where is the man in whose lap was mysaww head?’ Iasws said: ‘When Iasws entered he called measws to yousaww, then said: ‘Approach the sonsaww of yourasws uncleas, for youasws are more rightful with himsaww than me’. Then he stood up and Iasws sat down in his place’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَنِ الرَّجُلُ قُلْتُ لَا بِأَبِي وَ أُمِّي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص ذَاكَ جَبْرَئِيلُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنِي حَتَّى خَفَّ عَنِّي وَجَعِي وَ نِمْتُ وَ رَأْسِي فِي حَجْرِهِ‏.

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Do youasws know who the man is?’ Iasws said: ‘No, may myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww!’ The Prophetsaww said: ‘That is Jibraeelas. Heas was narrating to mesaww until there was lightness with mesaww from mysaww pain and Isaww slept and mysaww head was in hisas lap’’.⁵⁹³

9- لي، الأمالي للصدوق الطَّالَقَانِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَمْدَانَ الصَّيْدَلَانِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي قِلَابَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ زَيْدٍ الْجَرْمِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عِنْدَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ قَامَ إِلَيْهِ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ يُغَسِّلُكَ مِنَّا إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ قَالَ ذَاكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَهُمُّ بِعُضْوٍ مِنْ أَعْضَائِي إِلَّا أَعَانَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Al Talaqany, from Muhammad Bin Hamdan Al Saydalany, from Muhammad Bin Muslim Al Waisty, from Muhammad Bin Haroun, from Khalid Al Haza’a, from Abu Qilaba, from Abdullah Zayd Al Jqrmy, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘When Rasool-Allahsaww was unwell and hissaww companions were in hissaww presence, Ammar Bin Yasserra stood up to himsaww and said to himsaww, ‘May myra father and myra mother be sacrificed for yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who from us would wash yousaww when that happens from yousaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘That is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws because heasws will not think of (turning) a limb from mysaww limbs except the Angels would assist himasws upon that’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَنْ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ مِنَّا إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ قَالَ مَهْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ

Hera said to himsaww, ‘May myra father and myra mother be sacrificed for youas, O Rasool-Allahsaww! So, who from would pray Salat upon yousaww when that happens?’ Hesaww said: ‘Shh! May Allahazwj have Mercy on youra’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ رُوحِي قَدْ فَارَقَتْ جَسَدِي فَاغْسِلْنِي وَ أَنْقِ غُسْلِي وَ كَفِّنِّي فِي طِمْرَيَّ هَذَيْنِ أَوْ فِي بَيَاضِ مِصْرَ وَ بُرْدِ يَمَانٍ وَ لَا تُغَالِ فِي كَفَنِي وَ احْمِلُونِي حَتَّى تَضَعُونِي عَلَى شَفِيرِ قَبْرِي

Then hesaww said to Aliasws: ‘O sonasws of Abu Talibas! When youasws see mysaww soul to have separated from mysaww body, then wash mesaww, then clean mysaww wash and mysaww shroud in these two clothes, or in white (cloth) of Egypt and a Yemeni cloak, and do not exaggerate regarding mysaww shroud, and carry mesaww until youasws place mesaww at the edge of mysaww grave.

فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يُصَلِّي عَلَيَّ الْجَبَّارُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ ثُمَّ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ فِي جُنُودٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ لَا يُحْصِي عَدَدَهُمْ إِلَّا اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ ثُمَّ الْحَافُّونَ بِالْعَرْشِ ثُمَّ سُكَّانُ أَهْلِ سَمَاءٍ فَسَمَاءٍ ثُمَّ جُلُّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ نِسَائِي الْأَقْرَبُونَ فَالْأَقْرَبُونَ يَؤُمُّونَ إِيمَاءً وَ يُسَلِّمُونَ تَسْلِيماً لَا يُؤْذُونِّي‏ بِصَوْتِ نَادِيَةٍ وَ لَا مُرِنَّةٍ

The first one to pray Salat upon mesaww is the Subduer, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty, from above Hisazwj Throne, then Jibraeelas and Mikaeelas and Israfeelas among an army of the Angels, none can count them except Allahazwj Majestic and Mighty , then they will be circling with the Throne, then the dwellers of the people of the sky, then the elder ones of mysaww family and mysaww wives the near ones. So the near ones would be gesturing with gestures and submit submissively, not hurting mesaww with voices a lamentation nor shrieking.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ هَلُمَّ عَلَيَّ بِالنَّاسِ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مُتَعَصِّباً بِعِمَامَتِهِ مُتَوَكِّياً عَلَى قَوْسِهِ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَعَاشِرَ أَصْحَابِي أَيَّ نَبِيٍّ كُنْتُ لَكُمْ أَ لَمْ أُجَاهِدْ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ أَ لَمْ تُكْسَرْ رَبَاعِيَتِي أَ لَمْ يُعَفَّرْ جَبِينِي أَ لَمْ تَسِلِ الدِّمَاءُ عَلَى حُرِّ وَجْهِي حَتَّى كَنَفْتُ‏ لِحْيَتِي أَ لَمْ أُكَابِدِ الشِّدَّةَ وَ الْجَهْدَ مَعَ جُهَّالِ قَوْمِي أَ لَمْ أَرْبِطْ حَجَرَ الْمَجَاعَةِ عَلَى بَطْنِي

Then hesaww said: ‘O Bilal! Come to me with the people!’ The people gathered and Rasool-Allahsaww came out bandaged of head with hissaww turban, leaning upon hissaww bow until hesaww ascended the Pulpit. Hesaww praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘Community of mysaww companions! Which Prophetsaww have Isaww been to you all? Did Isaww not fight in your midst? Were not mysaww teeth broken? Wasn’t mysaww forehead injured?’ Didn’t the blood flow upon mysaww face until mysaww beard was soaked? Didn’t Isaww endure hardship and difficulties with the ignorant ones of mysaww people? Did Isaww not tie a stone upon mysaww belly out of hunger?’

قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ كُنْتَ لِلَّهِ صَابِراً وَ عَنْ مُنْكَرِ بَلَاءِ اللَّهِ نَاهِياً فَجَزَاكَ اللَّهُ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ قَالَ وَ أَنْتُمْ فَجَزَاكُمُ اللَّهُ

They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww have been patient for the Sake of Allahazwj, and of the evil scourge of Allahazwj, a preventer. May Allahazwj Recompense yousaww on our behalf the most superior of the Recompense’. Hesaww said: ‘And you, may Allahazwj Recompense you all’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَكَمَ وَ أَقْسَمَ أَنْ لَا يَجُوزَهُ ظُلْمُ ظَالِمٍ فَنَاشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللَّهِ أَيَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلَ مُحَمَّدٍ مَظْلِمَةٌ إِلَّا قَامَ فَلْيَقْتَصَّ مِنْهُ فَالْقِصَاصُ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الْقِصَاصِ فِي دَارِ الْآخِرَةِ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

Then hesaww said: ‘Mysaww Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic Judged and Vowed that Heazwj will not Allow an injustice of an unjust one, so Isaww adjure you with Allahazwj! Whichever man from you who had any injustice before Muhammadsaww, he should stand and take retaliation from it, for the retaliation in the house of the world is more beloved to mesaww than the retaliation in the house of the Hereafter upon the heads of the Angels and the Prophetsas’.

فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَقْصَى الْقَوْمِ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَوَادَةُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَمَّا أَقْبَلْتَ مِنَ الطَّائِفِ اسْتَقْبَلْتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى نَاقَتِكَ الْعَضْبَاءِ وَ بِيَدِكَ الْقَضِيبُ الْمَمْشُوقُ فَرَفَعْتَ الْقَضِيبَ وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ الرَّاحِلَةَ فَأَصَابَ بَطْنِي فَلَا أَدْرِي عَمْداً أَوْ خَطَأً

A man from the ends of the people, called Sawadah Bin Qays stood up to himsaww and said to himsaww, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for youasws, O Rasool-Allahsaww! When yousaww were returning from Al-Taif I was facing you and yousaww were upon yoursaww camel Al-Azba’a and the stick Al-Mamshouq was in yoursaww hand. Yousaww raised the stick and yousaww intended the ride and it hit my stomach. I don’t know whether it was deliberate or a mistake’.

فَقَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ تَعَمَّدْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ قُمْ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ فَاطِمَةَ فَأْتِنِي بِالْقَضِيبِ الْمَمْشُوقِ فَخَرَجَ بِلَالٌ وَ هُوَ يُنَادِي فِي سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُعْطِي الْقِصَاصَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَهَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ يُعْطِي الْقِصَاصَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ قَبْلَ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Forbid that it would happen to be deliberate’. Then hesaww said: ‘O Bilal! Stand to go to the house of (Syeda) Fatimaasws and brink mesaww the stick Al-Mamshouq’. Bilal went out and he was calling out in the markets of Al-Medina, ‘Community of people! Who is the one who will give the retaliation from himself before the Day of Qiyamah? Here is Muhammadsaww giving the retaliation from himselfsaww before the Day of Qiyamah!

وَ طَرَقَ بِلَالٌ الْبَابَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا فَاطِمَةُ قُومِي فَوَالِدُكِ يُرِيدُ الْقَضِيبَ الْمَمْشُوقَ فَأَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ يَا بِلَالُ وَ مَا يَصْنَعُ وَالِدِي بِالْقَضِيبِ وَ لَيْسَ هَذَا يَوْمَ الْقَضِيبِ فَقَالَ بِلَالٌ يَا فَاطِمَةُ أَ مَا عَلِمْتِ أَنَّ وَالِدَكِ قَدْ صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَ هُوَ يُوَدِّعُ أَهْلَ الدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا

And Bilal knocked the door to (Syeda) Fatimaasws and he said, ‘O Fatimaasws! Arise, for yourasws father wants the stick Al-Mamshouq’. Fatimaasws came and sheasws was saying: ‘O Bilal! And what will mysaww fathersaww do with the stick, and this isn’t a day of the stick?’ Bilal said, ‘O Fatimaasws! Don’t youasws know that yourasws fathersaww has ascended the Pulpit and hesaww is bidding farewell to the people of Religion and the world’.

فَصَاحَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ قَالَتْ وَا غَمَّاهْ لِغَمِّكَ يَا أَبَتَاهْ مَنْ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ وَ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ ابْنِ السَّبِيلِ يَا حَبِيبَ اللَّهِ وَ حَبِيبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثُمَّ نَاوَلَتْ بِلَالًا الْقَضِيبَ فَخَرَجَ حَتَّى نَاوَلَهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص

(Syeda) Fatimaasws cried and said: ‘Oh grief to yoursaww grief O fathersaww! Who is for the poor and the needy, and the traveller? O beloved of Allahazwj and beloved of the hearts!’ Then sheasws gave Bilal the stick, and he went out until he gave it to Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيْنَ الشَّيْخُ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي فَقَالَ تَعَالَ فَاقْتَصَّ مِنِّي حَتَّى تَرْضَى فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ فَاكْشِفْ لِي عَنْ بَطْنِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَشَفَ ص عَنْ بَطْنِهِ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي أَنْ أَضَعَ فَمِي عَلَى بَطْنِكَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Where is the old man?’ The old man said, ‘Here I am, O Rasool-Allahsaww! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘Come and take retaliation from me until you are pleased’. The old man said, ‘Uncover for me from yoursaww belly, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. Hesaww uncovered from hissaww belly. The old man said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Will yousaww allow me to place my mouth upon yoursaww belly’. Hesaww Permitted for him.

فَقَالَ أَعُوذُ بِمَوْضِعِ الْقِصَاصِ مِنْ بَطْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ النَّارِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا سَوَادَةَ بْنَ قَيْسٍ أَ تَعْفُو أَمْ تَقْتَصُّ فَقَالَ بَلْ أَعْفُو يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ص اللَّهُمَّ اعْفُ عَنْ سَوَادَةَ بْنِ قَيْسٍ كَمَا عَفَا عَنْ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ

He said, ‘I seek Refuge with the place of the retaliation from the belly of Rasool-Allahsaww, from the Fire of the Day of the Fire’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Sawadah Bin Qays! Are you excusing or retaliating?’ He said, ‘But I am excusing, O Rasool-Allahsaww’. Hesaww said: ‘O Allahazwj! Pardon Sawadah Bin Qays just as he has excused Yourazwj Prophetsaww Muhammadsaww’.

ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَدَخَلَ بَيْتَ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ رَبِّ سَلِّمْ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يَسِّرْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْحِسَابَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لِي أَرَاكَ مَغْمُوماً مُتَغَيِّرَ اللَّوْنِ فَقَالَ نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ فَسَلَامٌ لَكِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَلَا تَسْمَعِينَ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ صَوْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبَداً

Then Rasool-Allahsaww stood up and entered the house of Umm Salamara and hesaww was saying: ‘Lordazwj! Keep the community of Muhammadsaww safe from the Fire and Ease the Reckoning upon them’. Umm Salama said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What is the matter Ira see yousaww gloomy, changed of colour?’ Hesaww said: ‘Isaww have been Given the news of mysaww own death this moment, so peace be to youra in the world for youra will not be hearing after this day the voice of Muhammadsaww, ever!’

فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَا حُزْنَاهْ حُزْناً لَا تُدْرِكُهُ النَّدَامَةُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدَاهْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ع ادْعُ لِي حَبِيبَةَ قَلْبِي وَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنِي فَاطِمَةَ تَجِي‏ءُ

Umm Salamara said, ‘Oh its grief! A grief upon yousaww the regret cannot even reach, O Muhammadsaww!’ Then hesaww said: ‘Call for mesaww the beloved of mysaww heart and delight of mysaww eyes, (Syeda) Fatimaasws. The (unconsciousness) came.

فَجَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ نَفْسِي لِنَفْسِكَ الْفِدَاءُ وَ وَجْهِي لِوَجْهِكَ الْوِقَاءُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ أَ لَا تُكَلِّمُنِي كَلِمَةً فَإِنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَرَاكَ مُفَارِقَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرَى عَسَاكِرَ الْمَوْتِ تَغْشَاكَ شَدِيداً

(Syeda) Fatimaasws came and sheasws was saying: ‘May myasws soul be ransomed for yoursaww soul, and myasws face for the saving of yoursaww face, O fathersaww! Will yousaww not speak to measws, for Iasws am looking at yousaww and see yousaww to be separating from the world, and Iasws see the soldiers of the death overcoming yousaww severely?’

فَقَالَ لَهَا يَا بُنَيَّةِ إِنِّي مُفَارِقُكِ فَسَلَامٌ عَلَيْكِ مِنِّي قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتَاهْ فَأَيْنَ الْمُلْتَقَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ قَالَتْ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَلْقَكَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ قَالَ عِنْدَ الشَّفَاعَةِ لِأُمَّتِي قَالَتْ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَلْقَكَ عِنْدَ الشَّفَاعَةِ لِأُمَّتِكَ

Hesaww said to herasws: ‘O daughterasws! Isaww am separating from youasws, so the greetings be unto youasws from mesaww’. Sheasws said: ‘O fathersaww! So, where would Iasws meet yousaww on the Day of Qiyamah?’ Hesaww said: ‘At the reckoning’. Sheasws said, ‘Supposing Iasws don’t meet yousaww at the Reckoning?’ Hesaww said: ‘At the intercession of mysaww community’. Sheasws said, ‘Supposing Iasws don’t meet yousaww at the intercession of yoursaww community?’

قَالَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِي وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ قُدَّامِي يُنَادُونَ رَبِّ سَلِّمْ أُمَّةَ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يَسِّرْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْحِسَابَ

Hesaww said: ‘At the Bridge. Jibraeelas would be on mysaww right, and Mikaeelas on mysaww left, and the Angels behind mesaww and in front of mesaww would be calling out: ‘Lordazwj! Keep safe the community of Muhammadsaww from the Fire, and Ease the reckoning upon them!’

قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع فَأَيْنَ وَالِدَتِي خَدِيجَةُ قَالَ فِي قَصْرٍ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَدَخَلَ بِلَالٌ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ الصَّلَاةَ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ وَ خَفَّفَ الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ

(Syeda) Fatimaasws said: ‘Where will myasws motheras Khadeejaas be?’ Hesaww said: ‘In a castle having four doors for it leading to the Paradise’. Then there was faintness upon Rasool-Allahsaww. Bilal entered and he was saying, ‘The Salat! May Allahazwj have Mercy on yousaww’. Rasool-Allahsaww went out and prayed Salat leading the people and lightened the Salat, then said: ‘Call Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws for mesaww, and Asama Bin Zayd’.

فَجَاءَا فَوَضَعَ ع يَدَهُ عَلَى عَاتِقِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْأُخْرَى عَلَى أُسَامَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْطَلِقَا بِي إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَجَاءَا بِهِ حَتَّى وَضَعَ رَأْسَهُ فِي حَجْرِهَا فَإِذَا الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع يَبْكِيَانِ وَ يَصْطَرِخَانِ وَ هُمَا يَقُولَانِ أَنْفُسُنَا لِنَفْسِكَ الْفِدَاءُ وَ وُجُوهُنَا لِوَجْهِكَ الْوِقَاءُ

They came. Hesaww placed hissaww hand upon a shoulder of Aliasws and the other upon Asama, then said: ‘Come with mesaww to Fatimaasws’. They came with himsaww until hesaww placed hissaww head in herasws lap, and there Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws were crying and lamenting, and theyasws were saying: ‘May ourasws selves be sacrificed for yoursaww self, and ourasws faces for yoursaww face’.

فَقَالَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ هَذَانِ يَا عَلِيُّ قَالَ هَذَانِ ابْنَاكَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَعَانَقَهُمَا وَ قَبَّلَهُمَا وَ كَانَ الْحَسَنُ ع أَشَدَّ بُكَاءً فَقَالَ لَهُ كُفَّ يَا حَسَنُ فَقَدْ شَقَقْتَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Who are there two, O Aliasws?’ Heasws said: ‘They are yoursaww two sonsasws, Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws’. Hesaww hugged themasws and kissed themasws. And Al-Hassanasws was crying more intensely, so hesaww said to himasws: ‘Stop, O Hassanasws, for youasws are splitting Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَنَزَلَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ ع وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ وَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ حَاجَتِي أَنْ لَا تَقْبِضَ رُوحِي حَتَّى يَجِيئَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ فَيُسَلِّمَ عَلَيَّ وَ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ

The Angel of death descended and said: ‘The greetings be unto yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘And upon you be the greetings, O Angel of death, there is a need for mesaww to you’. He said, ‘And what is yoursaww need, O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj?’ Hesaww said: ‘Mysaww need is that you will not capture mysaww soul until Jibraeelas comes to meas and greets unto mesaww and Isaww greet unto himas’.

فَخَرَجَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا مُحَمَّدَاهْ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ فِي الْهَوَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ لَا يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ سَأَلَنِي أَنْ لَا أَقْبِضَهُ حَتَّى يَلْقَاكَ فَتُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْكَ

The Angel of death went out and he was saying: ‘Oh Muhammadsaww!’ Jibraeelas met him in the air and said: ‘O Angel of death! Did you capture the soul of Muhammadsaww?’ He said, ‘No O Jibraeelas. Hesaww asked me not to capture it until hesaww meets youas, so youas would greet unto himsaww and hesaww greets unto youas’.

فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ أَ مَا تَرَى أَبْوَابَ السَّمَاءِ مُفَتَّحَةً لِرُوحِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَ مَا تَرَى الْحُورَ الْعِينَ قَدْ تَزَيَّنَّ لِرُوحِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Jibraeelas said: ‘O Angel of death! Don’t you see the gates of the sky opened up for the soul of Muhammadsaww? Don’t you see the Maiden Houries having adorned for the soul of Muhammadsaww?’

ثُمَّ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ فَقَالَ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ ادْنُ مِنِّي حَبِيبِي جَبْرَئِيلُ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَنَزَلَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ احْفَظْ وَصِيَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي رُوحِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Then Jibraeelas descended and said: ‘The greetings be unto yousaww, O Abu Al-Qasimsaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘And upon youas be the greeting, O Jibraeelas! Come near mesaww mysaww beloved Jibraeelas’. Heas went near himsaww. The Angel of death descended. Jibraeelas said to him: ‘O Angel of death! Preserve the Advice of Allahazwj regarding the soul of Muhammadsaww’.

وَ كَانَ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ آخِذٌ بِرُوحِهِ ص فَلَمَّا كَشَفَ الثَّوْبَ عَنْ وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ نَظَرَ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ تَخْذُلُنِي فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ مَيِّتٌ وَ إِنَّهُمْ مَيِّتُونَ‏ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ‏.

And Jibraeelas was on hissaww right and Mikaeelas on hissaww left and the Angel of death went to take hissaww soul. When he uncovered the cloth from the face of Rasool-Allahazwj, hesaww looked at Jibraeelas and said to himas during the difficulties: ‘Are youas abandoning mesaww?’ Heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! You shall pass away and they would be dying [39:30] Every soul shall taste the death, [29:57]’’.

فَرُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَرَضِ كَانَ يَقُولُ ادْعُوا لِي حَبِيبِي فَجَعَلَ يُدْعَى لَهُ رَجُلٌ بَعْدَ رَجُلٍ فَيَعْرِضُ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ لِفَاطِمَةَ امْضِي إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَمَا نَرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُرِيدُ غَيْرَ عَلِيٍّ فَبَعَثَتْ فَاطِمَةُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ فَتَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَيْنَيْهِ وَ تَهَلَّلَ وَجْهُهُ

It is reported from Ibn Abbas, ‘Rasool-Allahazwj, during that illness, had said: ‘Call mysaww beloved for mesaww’. So, they went on calling man after man, and hesaww kept turning away from him. It was said to (Syeda) Fatimaasws: ‘Go to Aliasws, for we do not see Rasool-Allahsaww intending other than Aliasws’. (Syeda) Fatimaasws sent a message to Aliasws. When heasws entered, Rasool-Allahsaww opened hissaww eyes and hissaww face was jubilant.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَيَّ يَا عَلِيُّ إِلَيَّ يَا عَلِيُّ فَمَا زَالَ يُدْنِيهِ حَتَّى أَخَذَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ أَجْلَسَهُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَجَاءَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع يَصِيحَانِ وَ يَبْكِيَانِ حَتَّى وَقَعَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

Then hesaww said: ‘To mesaww, O Aliasws’. Heasws did not cease to go closer to himsaww until hesaww grabbed hisasws hand and made himasws to be seated by hissaww head. Then there was fainting upon himsaww. Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws came wailing and crying until they paused at Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَأَرَادَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَنْ يُنَحِّيَهُمَا عَنْهُ فَأَفَاقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ دَعْنِي أَشَمُّهُمَا وَ يَشَمَّانِّي وَ أَتَزَوَّدُ مِنْهُمَا وَ يَتَزَوَّدَانِ مِنِّي أَمَا إِنَّهُمَا سَيُظْلَمَانِ بَعْدِي وَ يُقْتَلَانِ ظُلْماً فَلَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى‏ مَنْ يَظْلِمُهُمَا يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً

Aliasws intended to keep themasws away from himsaww, but Rasool-Allahsaww woke up and said: ‘O Aliasws! Leave mesaww to smell themasws and theyasws smell mesaww, and Isaww provide from themasws and they provide from mesaww. But theyasws would both be oppressed after mesaww, and killed unjustly. May the Curse of Allahazwj be upon the one who oppressed themasws’ – saying that thrice.

ثُمَّ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَجَذَبَهُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى أَدْخَلَهُ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ وَ وَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى فِيهِ وَ جَعَلَ يُنَاجِيهِ مُنَاجَاةً طَوِيلَةً حَتَّى خَرَجَتْ رُوحُهُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

Then hesaww extended hissaww hand towards Aliasws and pulled himasws to himsaww until included himasws under hissaww quilt which was upon himsaww, and placed hissaww mouth upon hisasws mouth and went on whispering for a long time until hissaww goodly soul came out.

فَانْسَلَّ عَلِيٌّ مِنْ تَحْتِ ثِيَابِهِ وَ قَالَ أَعْظَمَ اللَّهُ أُجُورَكُمْ فِي نَبِيِّكُمْ فَقَدْ قَبَضَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ

Aliasws crept out from beneath hissaww quilt and said: ‘May Allahazwj Magnify your recompenses regarding your Prophetsaww, for Allahazwj has Taken himsaww to Himazwj’.

فَارْتَفَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ بِالضَّجَّةِ وَ الْبُكَاءِ فَقِيلَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَا الَّذِي نَاجَاكَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ أَدْخَلَكَ تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَّمَنِي أَلْفَ بَابٍ يَفْتَحُ لِي كُلُّ بَابٍ أَلْفَ بَابٍ‏.

The voices were raised with the clamour and the wailing. It was said to Amir Al Momineenasws, ‘What is that which Rasool-Allahsaww whispered to youasws with when hesaww included youasws beneath hissaww sheet?’ Heasws said: ‘Hesaww taught measws a thousand doors, each door opening for measws a thousand doors’’.⁵⁹⁴

‘I came to Abu Ja’farasws on the day of Monday. Heasws said: ‘Eat’. I said, ‘I am Fasting’. Heasws said: ‘And how come you are Fasting?’ I said, ‘Because Rasool-Allahsaww was blessed during it’. Heasws said: ‘But hesaww was not born during it. They don’t know, and as for what (day) hesaww passed away in, so yes’. Then heasws said: ‘Do not Fast nor travel during it’.⁵⁹⁵

(The book) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – ‘Among what Amir Al-Momineenasws answered the Jew who had asked himasws about what heasws had been afflicted with, and it is from the signs of the successorsasws. Heasws said: ‘As for the first of these, O brother Jew, there did not happen to be for mesaww anyone special, besides the general Muslims, Iasws could be comforted with, or to rely upon, or be at rest to or to draw closer with, apart from Rasool-Allahsaww.

هُوَ رَبَّانِي صَغِيراً وَ بَوَّأَنِي كَبِيراً وَ كَفَانِيَ الْعَيْلَةَ وَ جَبَرَنِي مِنَ الْيُتْمِ وَ أَغْنَانِي عَنِ الطَّلَبِ وَ وَقَانِيَ الْمَكْسَبَ وَ عَالَ لِيَ النَّفْسَ وَ الْوَلَدَ وَ الْأَهْلَ هَذَا فِي تَصَارِيفِ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا مَعَ مَا خَصَّنِي بِهِ مِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ‏ الَّتِي قَادَتْنِي إِلَى مَعَالِي الْحُظْوَةِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

Heasws nourished measws when small, and housed measws when olders, and sufficed measws of the poverty, and remedied measws from the orphan-hood, and made measws needless from the seeking, and saved measws of the earning, and advanced to measws the self, and the children, and the family. This is regarding the expenditure of the affairs of the world, along with what hesaww specialised measws with from the ranks which guided measws to lofty privileges in the Presence of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

فَنَزَلَ بِي مِنْ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَظُنُّ الْجِبَالَ لَوْ حُمِّلَتْهُ عَنْوَةً كَانَتْ تَنْهَضُ بِهِ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي بَيْنَ جَازِعٍ لَا يَمْلِكُ جَزَعَهُ وَ لَا يَضْبِطُ نَفْسَهُ وَ لَا يَقْوَى عَلَى حَمْلِ فَادِحِ مَا نَزَلَ بِهِ قَدْ أَذْهَبَ الْجَزَعُ صَبْرَهُ وَ أَذْهَلَ عَقْلَهُ وَ حَالَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْفَهْمِ وَ الْإِفْهَامِ وَ الْقَوْلِ وَ الِاسْتِمَاعِ

It befell with measws, from the expiry of Rasool-Allahsaww what Iasws did not happen to think the thought of, if Iasws had carried it by force, Iasws would have repelled it. Iasws saw the people from myasws family to be between alarm, not controlling his panic nor curbing his self, nor strong upon bearing the fatality what had befallen, the panic having done away his patience, and his intellect stupefied, and a barrier to have formed between him and the understanding and the views, and the words, and the listening.

وَ سَائِرَ النَّاسِ مِنْ غَيْرِ بَنِي عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بَيْنَ مُعَزٍّ يَأْمُرُ بِالصَّبْرِ وَ بَيْنَ مُسَاعِدٍ بَاكٍ لِبُكَائِهِمْ جَازِعٍ لِجَزَعِهِمْ وَ حَمَلْتُ نَفْسِي عَلَى الصَّبْرِ عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهِ بِلُزُومِ الصَّمْتِ وَ الِاشْتِغَالِ بِمَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ مِنْ تَجْهِيزِهِ وَ تَغْسِيلِهِ وَ تَحْنِيطِهِ وَ تَكْفِينِهِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ وَضْعِهِ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ وَ جَمْعِ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ عَهْدِهِ إِلَى خَلْقِهِ

And the rest of the people from other than the clan of Abdul Muttalibasws were between consoling, instructing with the patience and assisting the crying to their crying, panicking to their panic. And Iasws carried myselfasws upon the patience during hissaww expiry by necessitating the silence and the pre-occupation with what hesaww had instructed measws with, and washing himsaww, and embalming himsaww, and enshrouding himsaww, and the Salat upon himsaww, and placing himsaww in hissaww grave, and collecting the Book of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Covenant to Hisazwj creatures.

لَا يَشْغَلُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ بَادِرُ دَمْعَةٍ وَ لَا هَائِجُ زَفْرَةٍ وَ لَا لَاذِعُ حُرْقَةٍ وَ لَا جَزِيلُ مُصِيبَةٍ حَتَّى أَدَّيْتُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْحَقَّ الْوَاجِبَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لِرَسُولِهِ ص عَلَيَّ وَ بَلَّغْتُ مِنْهُ الَّذِي أَمَرَنِي بِهِ وَ احْتَمَلْتُهُ صَابِراً مُحْتَسِباً

Neither did the gush of tears pre-occupied measws from that, nor did the exultation of the exhalation, nor the burning harm, nor the tremendous calamity, until Iasws fulfilled regarding that the Obligatory rights of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww upon measws, and Iasws reached from it that which hesaww had instructed measws with, and Iasws endured it patiently, in anticipation’.

ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ ع إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَ لَيْسَ كَذَلِكَ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

Then heasws turned towards hisasws companions and said: ‘Isn’t it like that?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Amir Al-Momineenasws!’’⁵⁹⁶

‘I said to the Prophetsaww, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who will wash yousaww when yousaww pass away?’ Hesaww said: ‘Every Prophetsaww is washed by hisas successoras’. I said, ‘So, who is yoursaww successorasws?’ Hesaww said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

فَقُلْتُ كَمْ يَعِيشُ بَعْدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً فَإِنَّ يُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونٍ وَصِيَّ مُوسَى عَاشَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَ خَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِ صَفْرَاءُ [صَفُورَاءُ] بِنْتُ شُعَيْبٍ زَوْجُ مُوسَى فَقَالَتْ أَنَا أَحَقُّ بِالْأَمْرِ مِنْكَ فَقَاتَلَهَا فَقَتَلَ مُقَاتِلَتَهَا وَ أَسَرَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ أَسْرَهَا

I said, ‘How long will heasws live for after yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Thirty years, for Yoshua Bin Noonas, successoras of Musaas lived for thirty years from after himas, and Safra’a daughter of Shuaybas, wife of Musaas, came out against himas and said, ‘I am more rightful with the command than youas are. So, heas fought her in a battle and made her a captive, and was good to her in her captivity.

وَ إِنَّ ابْنَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ سَتَخْرُجُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ فِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا أَلْفاً مِنْ أُمَّتِي فَيُقَاتِلُهَا فَيَقْتُلُ مُقَاتِلَتَهَا وَ يَأْسِرُهَا فَيُحْسِنُ أَسْرَهَا وَ فِيهَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ قَرْنَ فِي بُيُوتِكُنَّ وَ لا تَبَرَّجْنَ تَبَرُّجَ الْجاهِلِيَّةِ الْأُولى‏ يَعْنِي صَفْرَاءَ [صَفُورَاءَ] بِنْتَ شُعَيْبٍ‏.

And the daughter of Abu Bakr will be going out against Aliasws among such and such thousand from mysaww community, and heasws will be fighting her and kill her fighters, and make her a captive, and be good to her in her captivity, and regarding her Allahazwj the Exalted has Revealed: And stay in your houses and do not display your finery like the displaying of the Pre-Islamic period before; [33:33] – meaning Safra daughter of Shuaybas’’.⁵⁹⁷

(The book) ‘Basaai Al Darajaat’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ahmad bin Is’haq, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from one of our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, Jibraeelas came down and with him were the Angels and the Spirit, those who used to descend during the night of the Pre-determination (Laylat Aal Qadr).

قَالَ فَفُتِحَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بَصَرُهُ فَرَآهُمْ فِي مُنْتَهَى السَّمَاوَاتِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يُغَسِّلُونَ النَّبِيَّ مَعَهُ وَ يُصَلُّونَ مَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَحْفِرُونَ لَهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا حَفَرَ لَهُ غَيْرُهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ نَزَلُوا مَعَ مَنْ نَزَلَ فَوَضَعُوهُ

Heasws said: ‘There was an opening of the vision for Amir Al-Momineenasws, and heasws saw them in the horizons of the skies to the earth washing the Prophetsaww along with himasws, and praying Salat with himasws upon himsaww, and digging for himasws. By Allahazwj! No one dug for himasws apart from them until when hesaww placed in hissaww grave, they descended with the ones who descended and placed himsaww.

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – Sa’ad, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Al Hassan Bin Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Zayd,

‘From Ismail Bin Abdullah son of Ja’far Bin Abu Talibasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww instructed measws: ‘When Isaww pass away then pour seven container from the well Gars, and wash him (me)saww with it. When youasws have washed mesaww and are free from washing mesaww, then expel the ones who were in the room.

قَالَ فَإِذَا أَخْرَجْتَهُمْ فَضَعْ فَاكَ عَلَى فِيَّ ثُمَّ سَلْنِي عَمَّا هُوَ كَائِنٌ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْفِتَنِ

Hesaww said: ‘When youasws have expelled them, place yourasws mouth upon mysaww mouth then ask mesaww about what is to happen up to the establishment of the Hour, from the matters of Fitna (strife)’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَفَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ فَأَنْبَأَنِي بِمَا يَكُونُ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ‏ السَّاعَةُ وَ مَا مِنْ فِئَةٍ تَكُونُ إِلَّا وَ أَنَا أَعْرِفُ أَهْلَ ضَلَالِهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ حَقِّهَا.

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws did that and hesaww informed measws with what would be happening up to the establishment of the House, and there is none from a group which will be happening except and Iasws recognise the people who will be straying it away from the people of its rightful ones’’.⁶¹⁰

26- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رَوَى سَعْدٌ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الزَّيْتُونِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَغَسِّلْنِي وَ كَفِّنِّي‏ وَ مَا أُمْلِي عَلَيْكَ فَاكْتُبْ قُلْتُ فَفَعَلَ قَالَ نَعَمْ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported by Sa’ad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Zaytuni, from Ahmad Bin Hilal, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtary,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘When Isaww pass away, then wash mesaww and enshroud mesaww, and whatever Isaww dictate to youasws, so write it’. Iasws said: ‘And it will be done?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’’.⁶¹¹

27- شا، الإرشاد لَمَّا أَرَادَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع غُسْلَ الرَّسُولِ ص اسْتَدْعَى الْفَضْلَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلَهُ الْمَاءَ لِغُسْلِهِ‏ بَعْدَ أَنْ عَصَبَ عَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ شَقَّ قَمِيصَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ جَيْبِهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِهِ إِلَى سُرَّتِهِ وَ تَوَلَّى غُسْلَهُ وَ تَحْنِيطَهُ وَ تَكْفِينَهُ وَ الْفَضْلُ يُعَاطِيهِ‏ الْمَاءَ وَ يُعِينُهُ عَلَيْهِ

When Amir Al-Momineenasws intended to wash the Rasoolsaww, called Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas and instructed him to give himasws the water to wash himsaww after blindfolding his eyes. Then heasws tore hissaww shirt from the direction of its pocked until heasws reached the navel, and took charge of washing himsaww, and embalming himsaww, and enshrouding himsaww, and Al-Fazl kept giving himasws the water and assisting himasws upon it.

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ وَ تَجْهِيزِهِ تَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ وَحْدَهُ وَ لَمْ يَشْرَكْهُ مَعَهُ أَحَدٌ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ يَخُوضُونَ فِيمَنْ يَؤُمُّهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَيْنَ يُدْفَنُ

When heasws was free from washing himasws and preparing himsaww, went forward and prayed Salat upon himsaww, alone, and did not participate anyone in the Salat upon himsaww, and the Muslims were in the Masjid engaging in vain talks regarding, ‘Who would be leading them in the Salat upon himsaww’, and ‘Where would hesaww be buried’ (etc.).

فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص إِمَامُنَا حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً فَيَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ فَوْجٌ بَعْدَ فَوْجٍ مِنْكُمْ فَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ وَ يَنْصَرِفُونَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمْ يَقْبِضْ نَبِيّاً فِي مَكَانٍ إِلَّا وَ قَدِ ارْتَضَاهُ لِرَمْسِهِ فِيهِ وَ إِنِّي لَدَافِنُهُ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا

Amir Al-Momineenasws came out to them and said to them: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is our Imamsaww, alive and (when) deceased, so a group after group from you should enter and pray upon himsaww without a prayer leader, and leaving, and that Allahazwj the Exalted did not Cause any Prophetsaww to pass away except and Heazwj had Chosen hisas grave in it, and Iasws shall bury himsaww in hissaww room in which hesaww passed away’.

فَسَلَّمَ الْقَوْمُ لِذَلِكَ وَ رَضُوا بِهِ وَ لَمَّا صَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْفَذَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بِرَجُلٍ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ وَ كَانَ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَ يَضْرَحُ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَادَةَ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَ أَنْفَذَ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ وَ كَانَ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ يُلْحِدُ فَاسْتَدْعَاهُمَا وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ خِرْ لِنَبِيِّكَ فَوَجَدَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ زَيْدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ وَ قِيلَ لَهُ احْفِرْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

The people submitted to that and were pleased with it; and when the Muslims had prayed upon himsaww, Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib sent a man to Abu Ubeyda Bin Al-Jarrah, and he used to dig for the people of Makkah and lament, and that was the habit of the people of Makkah; and he sent to Zayd Bin Sahl, and he used to dig for the people of Al-Medina and place the planks. He called them both and said, ‘O Allahazwj! I chose for Youazwj Prophetsaww, and found Abu Talha Zayd Bin Sahl, and said to him, ‘Dig a grave for Rasool-Allahsaww!’

فَحَفَرَ لَهُ لَحْداً وَ دَخَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ لِيَتَوَلَّوْا دَفْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَنَادَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَيْتِ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّا نُذَكِّرُكَ اللَّهَ وَ حَقَّنَا الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَذْهَبَ أَدْخِلْ مِنَّا رَجُلًا يَكُونُ لَنَا بِهِ حَظٌّ مِنْ مُوَارَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

So, he dug out a grave for himsaww, and Amir Al-Momineenasws entered (the grave), and Al-Abbas Bin Abdul Muttalib, and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas, and Usama Bin Zayd were in charge of the burial of Rasool-Allahsaww. The Helpers called out from behind the house, ‘O Aliasws! We remind youasws of Allahazwj and our right today from Rasool-Allahsaww that a man from us should go and enter (the grave), so there would be a share to us with it, from burying Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَقَالَ لِيَدْخُلْ أَوْسُ بْنُ خَوَلِيٍّ وَ كَانَ بَدْرِيّاً فَاضِلًا مِنْ بَنِي عَوْفٍ مِنَ الْخَزْرَجِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع انْزِلِ الْقَبْرَ فَنَزَلَ وَ وَضَعَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ع عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ دَلَّاهُ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ فَلَمَّا حَصَلَ فِي الْأَرْضِ قَالَ لَهُ اخْرُجْ

Heasws said: ‘Let Aws Bin Khowly enter’, and he was a participant of battle of Badr, more meritorious than the clan of Awf (and) than Al-Khazraj. When he entered, Aliasws said to him: ‘Descend in the grave, and Amir Al-Momineenasws placed Rasool-Allahsaww upon hisasws hands and straightened himsaww in hissaww grave. When hesaww arrive to the ground, heasws said to him: ‘Go out’.

فَخَرَجَ وَ نَزَلَ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ وَضَعَ خَدَّهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مُوَجَّهاً إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنَ وَ أَهَالَ عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمِ الْإِثْنَيْنِ لِلَيْلَتَيْنِ بَقِيَتَا مِنْ صَفَرٍ سَنَةَ عَشْرٍ مِنْ هِجْرَتِهِ ص وَ هُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً

So he went out and Aliasws descended in the grave and uncovered from the face of Rasool-Allahsaww and place hissaww cheek upon the ground facing towards the Qiblah, upon hissaww right. Then heasws placed the brick upon it and released the soil upon himsaww. And that was during the day of Monday, two nights remaining from Safar of the year ten from hissaww emigration, and hesaww was sixty three years old.

وَ لَمْ يَحْضُرْ دَفْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ لِمَا جَرَى بَيْنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ مِنَ التَّشَاجُرِ فِي أَمْرِ الْخِلَافَةِ وَ فَاتَ أَكْثَرُهُمُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ لِذَلِكَ وَ أَصْبَحَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع تُنَادِي وَا سَوْءَ صَبَاحَاهْ فَسَمِعَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ صَبَاحَكَ لَصَبَاحُ سَوْءٍ.

And most of the people did not attend the burial of Rasool-Allahsaww, due to what flowed between the Emigrants and the Helpers in quarrelling regarding the matter of the Caliphate, and most of them missed the Salat upon himsaww due to that. And in the morning (Syeda) Fatimaasws came calling out: ‘O evil (of the) morning!’ Abu Bakr heard herasws and said to herasws, ‘It is yourasws morning, which is the evil morning’.

وَ اغْتَنَمَ الْقَوْمُ الْفُرْصَةَ لِشُغْلِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ انْقِطَاعِ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْهُمْ بِمُصَابِهِمْ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَتَبَادَرُوا إِلَى وَلَايَةِ الْأَمْرِ وَ اتَّفَقَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ مَا اتَّفَقَ لِاخْتِلَافِ الْأَنْصَارِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَ كَرَاهِيَةِ الطُّلَقَاءِ وَ الْمُؤَلَّفَةِ قُلُوبُهُمْ مِنْ تَأَخُّرِ الْأَمْرِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ بَنُو هَاشِمٍ

And the people seized the opportunity due to the pre-occupation of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws with Rasool-Allahsaww and the clan of Hashimas had been cut off from them due to their being with Rasool-Allahsaww. So, they rushed to choose a ruler of the command and concurred to Abu Bakr and did not concur to the differing of the Helpers regarding what was between them and dislike of the freed ones (of Makkah), and those who hearts were inclined, from delaying the matter until the clan of Hashimas were free.

فَيَسْتَقِرَّ الْأَمْرُ مَقَرَّهُ فَبَايَعُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ لِحُضُورِهِ الْمَكَانَ وَ كَانَتْ أَسْبَابٌ مَعْرُوفَةٌ تَيَسَّرَ لِلْقَوْمِ مِنْهَا مَا رَامُوهُ لَيْسَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ مَوْضِعَ ذَكْرِهَا فَيُشْرَحَ‏ الْقَوْلُ فِيهَا عَلَى التَّفْصِيلِ

So, they settled the matter in settlement and pledged allegiances to Abu Bakr for his presence in the place, and the well-known reasons available for the people from it, what they were accused of, this book isn’t the place to mention it, and the word will be spread out regard it in detail.

وَ قَدْ جَاءَتِ الرِّوَايَةُ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا تَمَّ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ مَا تَمَّ وَ بَايَعَهُ مَنْ بَايَعَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ هُوَ يُسَوِّي قَبْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِمِسْحَاةٍ فِي يَدِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ قَدْ بَايَعُوا أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَ وَقَعَتِ الْخَذْلَةُ لِلْأَنْصَارِ لِاخْتِلَافِهِمْ وَ بَدَرَ الطُّلَقَاءُ بِالْعَقْدِ لِلرَّجُلِ خَوْفاً مِنْ إِدْرَاكِكُمُ الْأَمْرَ

And the reports have come that when it was completed for Abu Bakr what was completed, and he was pledged allegiance to by the ones who pledged allegiance, a man came to Amir Al-Momineenasws and heasws was evening the grave of Rasool-Allahsaww with a shovel in hisasws hand. He said to himasws, ‘The people have pledged allegiance to Abu Bakr and failure has occurred for the Helpers due to their differing, and the freed ones of Makkah rushed with the pact to the man out of fear from the command coming to youasws’.

فَوَضَعَ طَرَفَ الْمِسْحَاةِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ يَدُهُ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الم أَ حَسِبَ النَّاسُ أَنْ يُتْرَكُوا أَنْ يَقُولُوا آمَنَّا وَ هُمْ لا يُفْتَنُونَ وَ لَقَدْ فَتَنَّا الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ فَلَيَعْلَمَنَّ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا وَ لَيَعْلَمَنَّ الْكاذِبِينَ أَمْ حَسِبَ الَّذِينَ‏ يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئاتِ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونا ساءَ ما يَحْكُمُونَ‏

Heasws placed a side of the shovel upon the ground and hisasws hand was upon it, then said: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. Do the people reckon that they will be left alone on saying, ‘We believe’, and they will not be Tried? [29:2] And We have Tested those from before them. So Allah will Make known those who are truthful and He will Make known the liars [29:3] Or do those who are doing the evil deeds reckon that they can outrun Us? Evil is what they are judging [29:4]’.

وَ قَدْ كَانَ جَاءَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى بَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ الْعَبَّاسُ مُتَوَفَّرَانِ عَلَى النَّظَرِ فِي أَمْرِهِ فَنَادَى‏

بَنِي هَاشِمٍ لَا تُطْمِعُوا النَّاسَ فِيكُمْ.

وَ لَا سِيَّمَا تَيْمُ بْنُ مُرَّةَ أَوْ عَدِيٌّ.

فَمَا الْأَمْرُ إِلَّا فِيكُمْ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ.

وَ لَيْسَ لَهَا إِلَّا أَبُو حَسَنٍ عَلِيٌّ.

أَبَا حَسَنٍ فَاشْدُدْ بِهَا كَفَّ حَازِمٍ.

فَإِنَّكَ بِالْأَمْرِ الَّذِي تَبْتَغِي‏ مَلِيٌّ.

And Abu Sufyan had come to the door of Rasool-Allahsaww, and Aliasws and Al-Abbas were both obtainable upon the considering regarding its matter, and he called out (a poem), ‘Clan of Hashimas! Do not let the people covet regarding you, nor Taym Bin Marra be heard, or Adayy. The command is not except among you and to you, and there isn’t anyone for it except Abu Hassan Aliasws. O Abu Hassanasws! I shall give it a firm hand (support), for youasws are with the command which has been seeking for a long time’.

ثُمَّ نَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يَا بَنِي عَبْدِ مَنَافٍ أَ رَضِيتُمْ أَنْ يَلِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ أَبُو فَصِيلٍ الرَّذْلُ بْنُ الرَّذْلِ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ شِئْتُمْ لَأَمْلَأَنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ خَيْلًا وَ رَجِلًا

Then he called out at the top of his voice, ‘O clan of Hashimas! O clan of Abd Manafas! Are you pleased that father of a faction, the bastard son of the bastard rule over you all? But, by Allahazwj, if you so desire, I shall fill it (Al-Medina) upon them with cavalry and infantry!’

فَنَادَاهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع ارْجِعْ يَا أَبَا سُفْيَانَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا تُرِيدُ اللَّهَ بِمَا تَقُولُ وَ مَا زِلْتَ تَكِيدُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ نَحْنُ مَشَاغِيلُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَى كُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا اكْتَسَبَ وَ هُوَ وَلِيُّ مَا احْتَقَبَ

Amir Al-Momineenasws called out to him: ‘Return, O Abu Sufyan! By Allahazwj, you do not intend Allahazwj with what you are saying. You have never ceased to plot against Islam and its people, and we are pre-occupied with Rasool-Allahsaww, and upon every person is what he earns, and Heazwj is myasws Guardian of what is to follow’.

فَانْصَرَفَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَوَجَدَ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ فِيهِ فَحَرَّضَهُمْ عَلَى الْأَمْرِ وَ لَمْ يَنْهَضُوا لَهُ وَ كَانَتْ فِتْنَةٌ عَمَّتْ وَ بَلِيَّةٌ شَمِلَتْ وَ أَسْبَابُ سُوْءٍ اتَّفَقَتْ تَمَكَّنَ بِهَا الشَّيْطَانُ وَ تَعَاوَنَ فِيهَا أَهْلُ الْإِفْكِ وَ الْعُدْوَانِ

Abu Sufyan left to go to the Masjid and found the clan of Umayya gathered in it. He made them greedy upon the command and they did not get up for it, and the Fitna (strife) was pervasive, and the afflictions all-inclusive, and the causes of evil were harmonised, the Satanla was enabled with it, and they were assisted in it by the people of blatant lies and the aggression.

فَتَخَاذَلَ فِي إِنْكَارِهَا أَهْلُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ تَأْوِيلَ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ اتَّقُوا فِتْنَةً لا تُصِيبَنَّ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا مِنْكُمْ خَاصَّةً.

The people of Eman were forsaken in their denial of it, and that was the interpretation of the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And fear a Fitna (strife) which only affect those of you who are unjust in particular; [8:25]’’.⁶¹²

28- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب‏ أَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ حَجَّ حَجَّةَ الْوَدَاعِ وَ نَصَبَ عَلِيّاً إِمَاماً يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ بَعَثَ أُسَامَةَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقْصِدَ حَيْثُ قُتِلَ أَبُوهُ وَ جَعَلَ فِي جَيْشِهِ وَ تَحْتَ رَايَتِهِ أَبَا بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرَ وَ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ وَ عَسْكَرُ أُسَامَةَ بِالْجُرْفِ فَاشْتَكَى شَكْوَاهُ الَّتِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهَا فَكَانَ يَقُولُ فِي مَرَضِهِ نَفِّذُوا جَيْشَ أُسَامَةَ وَ يُكَرِّرُ ذَلِكَ

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – ‘Hesaww stayed at Al-Medina for ten years, then performed the farewell Hajj, and nominated Aliasws as an Imamasws on the day of Ghadeer Khumm. When hesaww entered Al-Medina, hesaww sent for Usama Bin Zayd and ordered him to go to where his father had been killed, and made to be in his army and under his flag – Abu Bakr, and Umar, and Abu Ubeyda; and the army of Usama was at Al-Jurf, and hesaww complained of the complaint in which hesaww passed away, and hesaww was saying during hissaww illness: ‘Sent the army of Usama’, and used to repeat that.

فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ أَقَامَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ الْمُحَرَّمَ وَ مَرِضَ‏ أَيَّاماً وَ تُوُفِّيَ فِي الثَّانِي مِنْ صَفَرٍ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ يُقَالُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ لِاثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ لَيْلَةً مَضَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ قُدُومِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ وَفَاتِهِ عَشْرُ سِنِينَ وَ قُبِضَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً

When year eleven entered, hesaww stayed at Al-Medina in Al-Muharram, and was ill for days, and passed away during the second from Safar on the day of Monday, and it is said the day of Friday on the twelve nights passed from the month of Rabbi Al-Awwal, and there were ten years between hissaww arrival at Al-Medina and hissaww passing away, and hesaww passed away before the setting of the sun and hesaww sixty three years old.

Aliasws washed himsaww with hissaww cloth by a bequest from himsaww. And in a report, and it had been called out with that, and hesaww remain without being buried for three days. The people prayed Salat upon him and Abu Talha Zayd Bin Sahl the Helper dug a grave for himsaww, and Aliasws buried himsaww, and heasws was assisted by Al-Abbas, and Al-Fazl, and Usama.

فَنَادَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ يَا عَلِيُّ نُذَكِّرُكَ اللَّهَ وَ حَقَّنَا الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنْ يَذْهَبَ أَدْخِلْ مِنَّا رَجُلًا فِيهِ فَقَالَ لِيَدْخُلْ أَوْسُ بْنُ خَوَلِيٍّ فَلَمَّا دَلَّاهُ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ قَالَ لَهُ اخْرُجْ وَ رَبَّعَ قَبْرَهُ‏.

The Helpers called out, ‘O Aliasws! We remind you of Allahazwj and our right today from Rasool-Allahsaww that a man from us should go to enter (the grave)’. Heasws said: ‘Let Aws Bin Khowly enter’. When heasws had straightened himsaww in hissaww grave, heasws said to him: ‘Go out’, and heasws squared hissaww grave’’.⁶¹³

29- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب أَحْمَدُ فِي مُسْنَدِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ‏ لَمَّا مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَرَضَهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ قَالَ ادْعُوا لِي عَلِيّاً قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ نَدْعُو لَكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَالَتْ حَفْصَةُ نَدْعُو لَكَ عُمَرَ قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْفَضْلِ نَدْعُو لَكَ الْعَبَّاسَ

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Ahmad in his (book) ‘Musnad’, from Ibn Abbas, ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww was unwell with the illness in which hesaww passed away, hesaww said: ‘Call Aliasws for mesaww’. Ayesha said, ‘We will call Abu Bakr for yousaww’. Hafsa said, ‘We will call Umar for yousaww’. Umm Al Fazl said, ‘We will call Al-Abbas for yousaww’.

فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَلَمْ يَرَ عَلِيّاً فَسَكَتَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ قُومُوا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الْخَبَرَ.

When they had gathered, hesaww raised hissaww head and did not see Aliasws, so hesaww was silent. Umar said, ‘Arise from Rasool-Allahsaww!’’.

وَ مِنْ طَرِيقَةِ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ ع‏ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ دَعَتْ أَبَاهَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ وَ دَعَتْ حَفْصَةُ أَبَاهَا فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ وَ دَعَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ عَلِيّاً فَنَاجَاهُ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ

And from the way of the Peopleasws of the Household – Ayesha called her father, but hesaww turned away from him; and Hafsa called her father and hesaww turned away from him, and Umm Salmara called Aliasws. Hesaww whispered to himasws for a long time, then there was unconsciousness upon himsaww.

فَجَاءَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ يَصِيحَانِ وَ يَبْكِيَانِ حَتَّى وَقَعَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَرَادَ عَلِيٌّ أَنْ يُنَحِّيَهُمَا عَنْهُ فَأَفَاقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ دَعْهُمَا أَشَمُّهُمَا وَ يَشَمَّانِّي وَ أَتَزَوَّدُ مِنْهُمَا وَ يَتَزَوَّدَانِ مِنِّي

Al-Hassanasws and Husaynasws came shouting and crying until theyasws fell upon Rasool-Allahsaww, and Aliasws intended to move themasws aside from himsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww woke up, then said: ‘O Aliasws! Leave themasws for mesaww to smell themasws and theyasws to smell mesaww, and Isaww provide from themasws and theyasws provide from mesaww’.

ثُمَّ جَذَبَ عَلِيّاً تَحْتَ ثَوْبِهِ وَ وَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى فِيهِ وَ جَعَلَ يُنَاجِيهِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَهُ الْمَوْتُ قَالَ لَهُ ضَعْ رَأْسِي يَا عَلِيُّ فِي حَجْرِكَ فَقَدْ جَاءَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا فَاضَتْ نَفْسِي فَتَنَاوَلْهَا بِيَدِكَ وَ امْسَحْ بِهَا وَجْهَكَ ثُمَّ وَجِّهْنِي إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ وَ تَوَلَّ أَمْرِي وَ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ أَوَّلَ النَّاسِ وَ لَا تُفَارِقْنِي حَتَّى تُوَارِيَنِي فِي رَمْسِي وَ اسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

Then hesaww pulled Aliasws under hissaww sheet and placed hissaww mouth on hisasws mouth whispering to himasws. When the death presented to himsaww, hesaww said to himasws: ‘O Aliasws! Place mysaww head in yourasws lap, for the Command of Allahazwj has come. So, when mysaww soul departs, then grab it with yourasws hands and wipe yourasws face with it, then face mesaww towards the Qiblah, and be in charge of mysaww matter and pray Salat upon measws as the first of the people, and do not separate from mesaww until youasws have covered mesaww in mysaww grave, and seek Assistance with Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

وَ أَخَذَ عَلِيٌّ بِرَأْسِهِ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي حَجْرِهِ‏ فَأُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَبَكَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهَا بِالدُّنُوِّ مِنْهُ فَأَسَرَّ إِلَيْهَا شَيْئاً تَهَلَّلَ وَجْهُهَا الْقِصَّةَ ثُمَّ قَضَى وَ مَدَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ حَنَكِهِ فَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ فِيهَا فَرَفَعَهَا إِلَى وَجْهِهِ فَمَسَحَهُ بِهَا ثُمَّ وَجَّهَهُ وَ مَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَ بِالنَّظَرِ فِي أَمْرِهِ.

And Aliasws took hissaww head and placed it in hisasws lap and there was unconsciousness upon himsaww. Fatimaasws cried, and hesaww gestured towards herasws with the going near himsaww, and hesaww divulged a secret to herasws of something, herasws face was joyful to the story. Then hesaww passed away, and Amir Al Momineenasws extended hisasws hand until hissaww throat, and heasws was overflowing (with tears) during it, and raised it to hisasws face and wiped it with it, then directed himsaww and extended hissaww cloth upon himsaww, and went on to deal with hissaww instructions’’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ‏ إِنَّ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْكَ وَ مَا اسْتَأْذَنَ أَحَداً قَبْلَكَ وَ لَا بَعْدَكَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ يَا أَحْمَدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْكَ لِأُطِيعَكَ أَقْبِضُ أَوْ أَرْجِعُ فَأَمَرَهُ فَقَبَضَ.

And it is reported that Jibraeelas said: ‘The Angel of death is seeking permission to yousaww, and he has not sought the permission of anyone before yousaww nor will he after yousaww’. Hesaww permitted to him. He entered and greeted unto himsaww and said: ‘O Ahmadsaww! Allahazwj the Exalted has Sent me to yousaww that I should obey yousaww, whether I should take (yoursaww soul) or return’. Hesaww ordered him with the taking’’.

الْبَاقِرُ ع‏ لَمَّا حَضَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص الْوَفَاةُ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ لَا وَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُرِيدُ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ لَا الرَّفِيقَ الْأَعْلَى.

Al-Baqirasws – When the expiry presented to Rasool-Allahsaww, Jibraeelas descended and said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Do yousaww want the return to the world?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, and Isaww have delivered (the Message)’. Then heas said to himsaww: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Do you want to return to the world?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, the lofty friends’’.

الصَّادِقُ ع‏ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا آخِرُ نُزُولِي إِلَى الدُّنْيَا إِنَّمَا كُنْتَ أَنْتَ حَاجَتِي مِنْهَا.

Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! This is the last of myas descent to the world. But rather yousaww are myas need from it’’.

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ اسْتَلَّ عَلِيٌّ ع مِنْ تَحْتِ ثِيَابِهِ وَ قَالَ عَظَّمَ اللَّهُ أُجُورَكُمْ فِي نَبِيِّكُمْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا الَّذِي نَاجَاكَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص تَحْتَ ثِيَابِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَّمَنِي أَلْفَ بَابٍ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ فَتَحَ لِي كُلُّ بَابٍ‏ أَلْفَ بَابٍ وَ أَوْصَانِي بِمَا أَنَا بِهِ قَائِمٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

And it is reported – Aliasws crept out from under hissaww sheet and said: ‘May Allahazwj Magnify your Recompenses regarding your Prophetsaww’. It was said to himasws, ‘What is that which Rasool-Allahsaww whispered to youasws with?’ Heasws said: ‘Hesaww taught measws a thousand doors of knowledge. Each door opened for measws a thousand doors, and bequeathed to mesaww with what Iasws am going to stand with, if Allahazwj so Desires’’.

أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَاجَةَ فِي السُّنَنِ وَ أَبُو يَعْلَى الْمَوْصِلِيُّ فِي الْمُسْنَدِ قَالَ أَنَسٌ‏ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع تَقُولُ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا أَبَتَاهْ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَيْنَا يَنْعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ مِن رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ جَنَّةُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ أَجَابَ رَبّاً دَعَاهُ.

Abu Abdullah Bin Majah in (the book) ‘Al-Sunan’, and Abu Ya’la Al-Mowsuly in (the book) ‘Al-Musnad’ – Anas (well-known fabricator) said, (Syeda) ‘Fatimaasws was saying when the Prophetsaww worsened (illness): ‘O fathersaww! Jibraeelas is lamenting to usasws. O fathersaww! How close heas is from hisas Lordazwj. O fathersaww! The Garden of Al-Firdows is hisas shelter. O fathersaww! Answer to Lordazwj of Hisazwj Call’’.

الْكَافِي‏ اجْتَمَعَتْ نِسْوَةُ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ جَعَلْنَ يَذْكُرْنَ النَّبِيَّ ص فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ اتْرُكْنَ التَّعْدَادَ وَ عَلَيْكُنَّ بِالدُّعَاءِ.

Al-Kafi – The womenfolk of the Clan of Hashimas gathered and went on to mention the Prophetsaww. Fatimaasws said: ‘Leave the counting and upon you is to be with the supplication’’.

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ يَا عَلِيُّ مَنْ أُصِيبَ بِمُصِيبَةٍ فَلْيَذْكُرْ مُصِيبَتَهُ بِي فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْمَصَائِبِ.

And the Prophetsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! One who is afflicted with a calamity so let him remember his calamity with mesaww, for it is from the biggest of the calamities’’.

وَ أَنْشَأَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏

الْمَوْتُ لَا وَالِداً يُبْقِي وَ لَا وَلَداً

هَذَا السَّبِيلُ إِلَى أَنْ لَا تَرَى أَحَداً

هَذَا النَّبِيُّ وَ لَمْ يُخْلَدْ لِأُمَّتِهِ‏

لَوْ خَلَّدَ اللَّهُ خَلْقاً قَبْلَهُ خُلِدَا

لِلْمَوْتِ فِينَا سِهَامٌ غَيْرُ خَاطِئَةٍ

مَنْ فَاتَهُ الْيَوْمَ سَهْمٌ لَمْ يَفُتْهُ غَداً

And Amir Al-Momineenasws prosed: ‘The death neither lest a parent remain nor a child, this is the way to what no one has seen. This Prophetsaww and hesaww did not remain eternally for hissaww community. If Allahazwj had let any creature remain eternally, hesaww would have remained eternally. There are arrows for the death regarding us without missing (their targets), one whom an arrow misses today, will not miss him tomorrow’.

الزَّهْرَاءُ ع‏

إِذَا مَاتَ يَوْماً مَيِّتٌ قَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ‏

فَقُلْتُ لَهَا إِنَّ الْمَمَاتَ سَبِيلُنَا

وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَمُتْ فِي يَوْمِهِ مَاتَ فِي غَدٍ

Al-Zahraasws: ‘When someone dies on a day, reduce his remembrance, and remember myasws fathersaww, since hesaww passed away, by Allahazwj, Iasws have increased remembering, when the death separated between usasws, and Iasws comforted myasws soul with the Prophetsaww Muhammadsaww. Iasws said to it: ‘The deaths are our ways, and the one who does not die during his day (today), will be dying the next day’.

Rooster of the Jinn, ‘I am hoping that the grief regarding yousaww will multiply, does Rasool-Allahsaww live or does the grave press himsaww?’

إبراهيم بن‏ المهدي‏

و اعلم بأن المرء غير مخلد

أ و ما ترى أن الحوادث جمة

Ibrahim Bin Al-Mahdi, ‘I was patient to every calamity and froze, and knew that the person is without eternality. Or do you not see that the events are enormous, and you see the death lying in ambush to the men. So when you remember a calamity, be brave to it and remember your calamity with the Prophetsaww Muhammadsaww’.

(The books) ‘Tareekh’ of Al-Tabari and ‘Ibana’ of Al-Ukbari – Ibn Masoud said, ‘It was said to the Prophetsaww, ‘Who will wash yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘The closest of mysaww relatives’’.

حِلْيَةُ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ وَ تَارِيخُ الطَّبَرِيِ‏ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبِ كَانَ يُغَسِّلُ النَّبِيَّ ص وَ الْفَضْلُ يَصُبُّ الْمَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يُعِينُهُمَا وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ يَقُولُ مَا أَطْيَبَكَ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً.

(The book) ‘Hilyat Al-Awliya’ and ‘Tareekh’ of Al-Tabari – ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws had washed the Prophetsaww, and Al-Fazl poured the water upon himsaww, and Jibraeelas assisted them both, and Aliasws was saying: ‘How aromatic yousaww are alive and (when) deceased’’.

مسند الموصلي في خبر عن عائشة ثم خلوا بينه و بين أهل بيته فغسله علي بن أبي طالب ع و أسامة بن زيد.

(The book) ‘Masnad’ of Al-Mowsay in a Hadeeth from Ayesha, ‘Then it (room) was vacated between himsaww and the Peopleasws of hissaww Household. Aliasws and Usama Bin Zayd washed himsaww’.

الصَّفْوَانِيُّ فِي الْإِحَنِ وَ الْمِحَنِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَاغْسِلْنِي بِسَبْعِ قِرَبٍ مِنْ بِئْرِي بِئْرِ غَرْسٍ.

Al Safwani in (the book) ‘Al Ihan and Al Mihan’, by his chain from Ismail Bin Abdullah, from his father,

‘From Aliasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww bequeathed to measws: ‘When Isaww pass away, then wash mesaww with seven containers from mysaww well, the well of Gars’’.

إِبَانَةُ ابْنِ بَطَّةَ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ قَالَ عَلِيٌ‏ أَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ ص أَلَّا يُغَسِّلَهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَرَى أَحَدٌ عَوْرَتِي إِلَّا طَمَسَتْ عَيْنَاهُ

Ibana Ibn Batah, ‘Yazeed Bin Bilal said,

‘Aliasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww bequeathed that no one should wash himsaww apart from measws: ‘No one will see mysaww private parts except his eyes would be blinded’.

قَالَ فَمَا تَنَاوَلْتُ عُضْواً إِلَّا كَأَنَّمَا كَانَ يقله‏ [يُقَلِّبُهُ‏] مَعِي ثَلَاثُونَ رَجُلًا حَتَّى فَرَغْتُ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ.

Heasws said: ‘Iasws did not grab any limb except it was as if it is being turned with measws by thirty men, until Iasws was free from washing himsaww’.

و روي‏ أنه لما أراد علي غسله استدعى الفضل بن عباس ليعينه و كان مشدود العينين و قد أمره علي بذلك إشفاقا عليه من العمى.

And it is reported that when Aliasws wanted to wash himsaww, called Al-Fazl Bin Abbas to assist himasws, and he was blindfolded of the eyes, and Aliasws had instructed him with that, fearing the blindness upon him’.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ قَالَ النَّاسُ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِمَامٌ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً فَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَ يَوْمَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ الْأَقْرِبَاءُ وَ الْخَوَاصُّ وَ لَمْ يَحْضُرْ أَهْلُ السَّقِيفَةِ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ أَنْفَذَ إِلَيْهِمْ بُرَيْدَةَ وَ إِنَّمَا تَمَّتْ بَيْعَتُهُمْ بَعْدَ دَفْنِهِ.

And Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The people said, ‘How will the Salat be prayed upon himsaww?’ Aliasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is an Imam alive and (when) deceased’. Ten by ten (people) entered and prayed Salat upon himsaww on the day of Monday, and Tuesday night until the morning, and the day of Tuesday until the near relatives had prayed Salat upon him, and the special ones, and the people of Al-Saqeefa did not attend, and Aliasws had sent Bureyda to them, and rather their allegiances had been completed after hissaww burial’.

وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّمَا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ قَبْضِ اللَّهِ لِي‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِ‏ الْآيَةَ.

And Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘But rather this Verse was Revealed regarding the Salat upon mesaww after Allahazwj Causes mesaww to pass away: Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawat upon the Prophet. [33:56] – the Verse’.

وَ سُئِلَ الْبَاقِرُ ع كَيْفَ كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ لَمَّا غَسَّلَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ كَفَّنَهُ سَجَّاهُ وَ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً فَدَارُوا حَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي وَسَطِهِمْ فَقَالَ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ‏ الْآيَةَ

And Al-Baqirasws was asked, ‘How was the Salat upon the Prophetsaww?’ Heasws said: ‘When Amir Al-Momineenasws had washed himsaww, and enshrouded himsaww, laid himsaww down, and ten (men) entered to himsaww. They circled around, then Amir Al-Momineenasws stood in their midst and said: Surely, Allah and His Angels [33:56] – the Verse.

فَيَقُولُ الْقَوْمُ مِثْلَ مَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَهْلُ الْعَوَالِي.

The people said the like what heasws said, until the people of Al-Medina and the people of nobility had prayed Salat upon himsaww.

و اختلفوا أين يدفن فقال بعضهم في البقيع و قال آخرون في صحن المسجد فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ نَبِيَّهُ إِلَّا فِي أَطْهَرِ الْبِقَاعِ فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُدْفَنَ فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا فاتفقت الجماعة على قوله و دفن في حجرته.

And they differed, ‘Where should hesaww be buried?’ Some of them said, ‘In Al-Baqie’, and others said, ‘In the courtyard of the Masjid’. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Allahazwj did not Take Hisazwj Prophetsaww except in the purest of spots, therefore it is befitting that hesaww be buried in the spot in which hesaww passed away’. The group were concordat upon hisasws word, and hesaww was buried in the room’’.

تَارِيخُ الطَّبَرِيِّ فِي حَدِيثِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قُلْنَا فَمَنْ يُدْخِلُكَ قَبْرَكَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَهْلِي.

Tareekh of Al Tabari, in a Hadeeth of Ibn Masud, ‘We said, ‘So who will enter yousaww into yoursaww grave, O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj?’ Hesaww said: ‘Mysaww family’’.

و قال الطبري و ابن ماجة الذي نزل في قبر رسول الله ص علي بن أبي طالب و الفضل و قثم و شقران و لهذا قال أمير المؤمنين ع أنا الأول أنا الآخر.

And Al-Tabari, and Ibn Maja – ‘The one who descended in the grave of Rasool-Allahsaww was Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and Al-Fazl, and Qasam, and Shaqran, and for this, Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws am the first, Iasws am the last’’.⁶¹⁴

فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ‏ إِلَى‏ مَتاعُ الْغُرُورِ إِنَّ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ دَرَكاً مِنْ كُلِّ مَا فَاتَ وَ خَلَفاً مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ فَبِاللَّهِ فَثِقُوا وَ إِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا إِنَّمَا الْمُصَابُ مَنْ حُرِمَ‏ الثَّوَابَ وَ هَذَا آخِرُ وَطْئِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا

Heas said: ‘The greetings be upon youasws all, O Peopleasws of the Household! Every self shall taste the death, - up to Hisazwj Words: a deceptive pleasure? [3:185]. Surely in Allahazwj there is consolation from all calamities, and coming across of all what is lost, and a replacement from all (what is) perished, therefore trust in Allahazwj and hope to Himazwj. But rather the afflicted is one deprived of the Rewards, and this is the last of myas treading from the world’.

قَالَ قَالُوا فَسَمِعْنَا صَوْتاً فَلَمْ نَرَ شَخْصاً.

Heasws said: ‘Theyasws said: ‘Weasws heard a voice but did not see a person’’.⁶¹⁵

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – Hisham Bin Salim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, theyasws heard a voice from the side of the house and did not see a person saying: ‘Every self shall taste the death, - up to Hisazwj Words: he indeed has succeeded; [3:185]’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي اللَّهِ خَلَفٌ‏ وَ عَزَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ دَرَكٌ لِمَا فَاتَ فَبِاللَّهِ فَثِقُوا وَ إِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا وَ إِنَّمَا الْمَحْرُومُ مَنْ حُرِمَ الثَّوَابَ وَ اسْتُرُوا عَوْرَةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ

Then he said: ‘In Allahazwj there is a replacement, and consolation from all calamities, and coming across to whatever is lost, therefore trust in Allahazwj and hope to Himazwj, and rather the deprived one is the one deprived the Rewards, and veil the nakedness of yourasws Prophetsaww’.

فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ نُودِيَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تَخْلَعِ الْقَمِيصَ قَالَ فَغَسَّلَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع فِي قَمِيصِهِ‏.

When heasws placed himsaww upon the bier, hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Do not take off the shirt’. So Aliasws washed himsaww in hissaww shirt’’.⁶¹⁶

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammadasws Bin Ali Al-Baqirasws having said: ‘When Amir Al-Momineenasws was free from washing Rasool-Allahsaww and enshrouding himasws and embalming himsaww, heasws permitted the people and said: ‘Let ten by ten from you enter in order to pray Salat upon himsaww’.

فَدَخَلُوا وَ قَامَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ قَالَ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً وَ كَانَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ كَمَا يَقُولُ

They entered and Amir Al-Momineenasws stood between himsaww and them and said: Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawat upon him and submit submissively [33:56]. And the people were saying what heasws said’.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ هَكَذَا كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِ ص‏.

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And that is how the Salat was upon himsaww’’.⁶¹⁷

(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Al Muqry, from Abdullah Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Al Husayn Bin Saeed al Qurshy, from his father, from Al Husayn Bin Mukhariq, from Abdul Samad Bin Ali, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Abbas who said,

‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws was in charge of hissaww washing, and Al-Abbas was with himasws, and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas.

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ عَلِيٌّ ع مِنْ غُسْلِهِ كَشَفَ الْإِزَارَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي طِبْتَ حَيّاً وَ طِبْتَ مَيِّتاً انْقَطَعَ بِمَوْتِكَ مَا لَمْ يَنْقَطِعْ بِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ سِوَاكَ مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ الْإِنْبَاءِ

When Aliasws was free from washing himsaww, heasws uncovered the sheet from hissaww face, then said: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Yousaww were good alive and are good (when) deceased. It has been cut off from yoursaww passing away what was not cut off with the death of anyone from the ones besides yousaww, of the Prophet-hood and the news.

خَصَّصْتَ حَتَّى صِرْتَ مُسَلِّياً عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ وَ عَمَّمْتَ حَتَّى صَارَ النَّاسُ فِيكَ سَوَاءً وَ لَوْ لَا أَنَّكَ أَمَرْتَ بِالصَّبْرِ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنِ الْجَزَعِ لَأَنْفَدْنَا عَلَيْكَ الشُّئُونَ وَ لَكِنَّ مَا لَا يُدْفَعُ كَمَدٌ وَ غُصَصٌ مُخَالِفَانِ وَ هُمَا دَاءُ الْأَجَلِ وَ قَلَّا لَكَ‏

Yousaww were specialised until yousaww became pleasant from the ones besides yousaww and were generalised until the people became the same regarding youasws, and had yousaww not instructed with the patience and forbidden from the panic, we would have run down the affairs upon yousaww, but what cannot be repelled is gloom and choking, both opposing, and these two are the immediate problems, detestable to yousaww.

بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي اذْكُرْنَا عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ هَمِّكَ ثُمَّ أَكَبَّ عَلَيْهِ فَقَبَّلَ وَجْهَهُ وَ الْإِزَارُ عَلَيْهِ‏.

May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww, mention us in the Presence of yourasws Lordazwj and Make us to be from yourasws main concerns’. Then heasws devoted to himsaww and kissed hissaww face and the sheet was upon himsaww’’.⁶¹⁸

(The book) ‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Suheyl Bin Abu Salih, from Ibn Abbas – ‘There was unconsciousness upon the Prophetsaww during hissaww illness. There was a knock on the door, so (Syeda) Fatimaasws said: ‘Who is that?’ He said, ‘I am a Stanger man having come to ask Rasool-Allahazwj. Can you permit me regarding the entering to see himsaww?’ Sheasws answered: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you! Continue to your needs for Rasool-Allahsaww is pre-occupied from you’.

فَمَضَى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَدَقَّ الْبَابَ وَ قَالَ غَرِيبٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَ تَأْذَنُونَ لِلْغُرَبَاءِ فَأَفَاقَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ غَشْيَتِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ أَ تَدْرِينَ مَنْ هَذَا قَالَتْ لَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

He went away, then returned and knocked the door and said, ‘A stranger seeking to see Rasool-Allahsaww! Can you permit the strangers?’ Rasool-Allahsaww woke up from hissaww unconsciousness and said: ‘O Fatimaasws! Do youasws know who this is?’ Sheasws said: ‘No, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ هَذَا مُفَرِّقُ الْجَمَاعَاتِ وَ مُنَغِّصُ اللَّذَّاتِ هَذَا مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ مَا اسْتَأْذَنَ وَ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَ لَا يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بَعْدِي اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ لِكَرَامَتِي عَلَى اللَّهِ ائْذَنِي لَهُ

Hesaww said: ‘This is the separator of the communities, and spoiler of the pleasures. This is the Angel of death. By Allahazwj! He did not seek permission to anyone before mesaww nor will he be seeking permission to anyone after mesaww. He is seeking permission to mesaww due to mysaww prestige unto Allahazwj. Permit him’.

فَقَالَتْ ادْخُلْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ فَدَخَلَ كَرِيحٍ هَفَّافَةٍ وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Sheasws said: ‘Enter, may Allahazwj have Mercy on you!’ He entered like a dry wind and said: ‘The greetings be upon the Peopleasws of the Household of the Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَأَوْصَى النَّبِيُّ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ بِالصَّبْرِ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا وَ بِحِفْظِ فَاطِمَةَ وَ بِجَمْعِ الْقُرْآنِ وَ بِقَضَاءِ دَيْنِهِ وَ بِغُسْلِهِ وَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ حَوْلَ قَبْرِهِ حَائِطاً وَ بِحِفْظِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ‏.

The Prophetsaww bequeathed to Aliasws with the patience upon the world, and with protecting Fatimaasws, and with collecting the Quran, and with paying off hissaww debts, and with washing himsaww, and that heasws should build a wall about hissaww grave, and with protecting Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws’’.⁶¹⁹

35- عم، إعلام الورى‏ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَدُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع الْيُمْنَى تَحْتَ حَنَكِهِ فَفَاضَتْ نَفْسُهُ فِيهَا فَرَفَعَهَا إِلَى وَجْهِهِ فَمَسَحَهُ بِهَا ثُمَّ وَجَّهَهُ وَ غَمَّضَهُ وَ مَدَّ عَلَيْهِ إِزَارَهُ وَ اشْتَغَلَ بِالنَّظَرِ فِي أَمْرِهِ.

(The book) ‘Ilam Al-Wara’ – Rasool-Allahsaww expired and the right hand of Amir Al-Momineenasws was beneath hissaww neck. Hisasws tears overflowed during it and heasws raised it for hissaww face and wiped with it, then turned himsaww and closed hissaww eyes and extended hissaww sheet upon him, and became pre-occupied with the consideration into hissaww instructions’’.

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ‏ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى صَدْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ مَاتَ فَمَرَّ بِي جَمْعٌ آكُلُ وَ أَتَوَضَّأُ مَا تَذْهَبُ رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ‏ مِنْ يَدِي.

And it is reported from Umm Salamara. Shera said, ‘Ira placed myra hand upon the chest of Rasool-Allahsaww on the day hesaww passed away. Then crowds passed by mera. Ira ate and washed, but the aroma of musk did not go away from myra hand’’.

وَ رَوَى ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع‏ لَمَّا ثَقُلَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ جَعَلَ يَتَغَشَّاهُ الْكَرْبُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ نَنْعَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ‏ مِن رَبِّهِ مَا أَدْنَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ جِنَانُ الْفِرْدَوْسِ مَأْوَاهُ يَا أَبَتَاهْ أَجَابَ رَبّاً دَعَاهُ.

And it is reported by Sabit, from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said, ‘Fatimaasws said when the Prophetsaww (illness) worsened and went on to faint: ‘The distress, O fathersaww, to Jibraeelas we lament. O fathersaww, from hisas Lordazwj, how close heas is. O fathersaww, the Gardens of Al-Firdows are hisas shelter. O fathersaww, answer the Lordazwj of Hisazwj Call’’.

قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع‏ لَمَّا حَضَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْوَفَاةُ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تُرِيدُ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ لَا وَ قَدْ بَلَغْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تُرِيدُ الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا قَالَ لَا الرَّفِيقَ الْأَعْلَى.

Al Baqirasws said: ‘When the expiry presented to Rasool-Allahsaww, Jibraeelas descended and said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Do yousaww want the return to the world?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, and Isaww have delivered (the Message)’. Then heas said to himsaww: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Do yousaww want the return to the world?’ Hesaww said: ‘No, the lofty friends’’.

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا آخِرُ نُزُولِي إِلَى الدُّنْيَا إِنَّمَا كُنْتَ أَنْتَ حَاجَتِي مِنْهَا

And Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! This is the last of myas descent to the world. But rather, yousaww were my need from it’.

قَالَ وَ صَاحَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ صَاحَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ يَضَعُونَ‏ التُّرَابَ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ وَ مَاتَ ص لِلَيْلَتَيْنِ بَقِيَتَا مِنْ صَفَرٍ سَنَةَ عَشْرٍ مِنْ هِجْرَتِهِ

Heasws said: ‘And (Syeda) Fatimaasws cried, and the Muslims shouted and they were placing the dust upon their heads, and hesaww passed away, two nights remaining from Safar of the year ten from hissaww emigration’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً لِاثْنَتَيْ عَشَرَةَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ

And it is reported as well, twelve nights from the months of Rabbi Al-Awwal on the day of Monday’.

وَ لَمَّا أَرَادَ عَلِيٌّ ع غُسْلَهُ اسْتَدْعَى الْفَضْلَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ فَأَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُنَاوِلَهُ الْمَاءَ بَعْدَ أَنْ عَصَّبَ عَيْنَيْهِ فَشَقَّ قَمِيصَهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ جَيْبِهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ بِهِ إِلَى سُرَّتِهِ وَ تَوَلَّى غُسْلَهُ وَ تَحْنِيطَهُ وَ تَكْفِينَهُ وَ الْفَضْلُ يُنَاوِلُهُ الْمَاءَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ وَ تَجْهِيزِهِ تَقَدَّمَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ.

And when Aliasws wanted to wash himsaww, called Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas and instructed him to give him the water after he had blindfolded his eyes. Heasws tore hissaww shirt from the direction of its pocket until heasws reached to hissaww navel, and heasws took charge of washing himsaww and embalming himsaww and enshrouding himsaww, and Al-Fazl was giving himasws the water. When heasws was free from washing himsaww and preparing him, hesaww went ahead and prayed Salat upon himsaww’’.

قَالَ أَبَانٌ وَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَرْيَمَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قَالَ النَّاسُ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِمَامُنَا حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً عَشَرَةً فَصَلَّوْا عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ حَتَّى الصَّبَاحِ وَ يَوْمَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ كَبِيرُهُمْ وَ صَغِيرُهُمْ وَ ذَكَرُهُمْ وَ أُنْثَاهُمْ

Aban said, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Maryam,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘The people said, ‘How would the Salat be upon himsaww?’ Aliasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is our Imam alive and (when) deceased. So ten by ten entered and prayed upon himsaww on the day of Monday, and the night of Tuesday until the morning, and the day of Tuesday, until their elders and their young ones, and their males, and the females had prayed Salat upon himsaww.

وَ ضَوَاحِي الْمَدِينَةِ بِغَيْرِ إِمَامٍ وَ خَاضَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ فِي مَوْضِعِ دَفْنِهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ نَبِيّاً فِي مَكَانٍ إِلَّا وَ ارْتَضَاهُ لِرَمْسِهِ فِيهِ وَ إِنِّي دَافِنُهُ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا فَرَضِيَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ بِذَلِكَ

And the outskirts of Al Medina were without an imam, and the Muslims flowed over into the place of hissaww burial. Aliasws said: ‘Allahazwj the Glorious did not Take any Prophetsaww in a place except and Heazwj had Chosen it for hisas grave to be in it, and Iasws shall bury himsaww in hissaww room in which hesaww passed away’. The Muslims were pleased with that.

فَلَمَّا صَلَّى الْمُسْلِمُونَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْفَذَ الْعَبَّاسُ‏ إِلَى أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ بْنِ الْجَرَّاحِ وَ كَانَ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ وَ يَضْرَحُ وَ أَنْفَذَ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ وَ كَانَ يَحْفِرُ لِأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ يُلْحِدُ فَاسْتَدْعَاهُمَا وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ خِرْ لِنَبِيِّكَ فَوَجَدَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ

When the Muslims had prayed Salat upon himsaww, Al-Abbas sent (men) to Abu Ubeyda Bin Al-Jarrah, and he used to dig graves for the people of Makkah, and sent to Zayd Bin Sahl Abu Talha, and he used to dig graves for the people of Al Medina, and he said, ‘O Allahazwj! I have chosen for Yourazwj Prophetsaww and found Abu Talha’.

فَقِيلَ لَهُ احْفِرْ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَحَفَرَ لَهُ لَحْداً وَ دَخَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَ الْفَضْلُ وَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ لِيَتَوَلَّوْا دَفْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَنَادَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْبَيْتِ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّا نُذَكِّرُكَ اللَّهَ وَ حَقَّنَا الْيَوْمَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ أَدْخِلْ مِنَّا رَجُلًا يَكُونُ لَنَا بِهِ حَظٌّ مِنْ مُوَارَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

It was said to him, ‘Dig for Rasool-Allahsaww!’ So, he dug out a grave and Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws entered, and Al-Abbas, and Al-Fazl, and Usama Bin Zayd, and heasws was in charge of the burial of Rasool-Allahsaww. The Helpers called out from behind the house, ‘O Aliasws! We remind youasws of Allahazwj and our right today from Rasool-Allahazwj, that a man from us should go and enter (the grave) for there to be a share for us with it from covering of Rasool-Allahsaww’.

فَقَالَ لِيَدْخُلْ أَوْسُ بْنُ خَوَلِيٍّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي عَوْفِ بْنِ الْخَزْرَجِ وَ كَانَ بَدْرِيّاً فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ وَ قَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ انْزِلْ الْقَبْرَ فَنَزَلَ وَ وَضَعَ عَلِيٌّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ دَلَّاهُ فِي حُفْرَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ اخْرُجْ فَخَرَجَ وَ نَزَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَ وَضَعَ خَدَّهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مُوَجِّهاً إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ عَلَى يَمِينِهِ ثُمَّ وَضَعَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّبِنَ وَ هَالَ عَلَيْهِ التُّرَابَ‏.

Heasws said: ‘Let Aws Bin Howly enter, from the clan of Awf Bin Al-Khazrah’. And he was an attendee of Badr. He entered the house and Aliasws said to him: ‘Descend into the grave’, and Aliasws placed Rasool-Allahsaww with hisasws own hands, the laid himsaww in hissaww grave, then said to him: ‘Go out’. So, he went out, and Aliasws descended and removed from hissaww face and placed hissaww cheek upon the ground facing towards the Qiblah, upon hissaww right. Then hesaww placed the brick upon it, and evened the soil upon himsaww’’.⁶²⁰

36- كشف، كشف الغمة عَاشَ ثَلَاثاً وَ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً مِنْهَا مَعَ أَبِيهِ سَنَتَانِ وَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ مَعَ جَدِّهِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ ثَمَانِيَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ كَفَّلَهُ عَمُّهُ أَبُو طَالِبٍ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَكَانَ يُكْرِمُهُ وَ يَحْمِيهِ وَ يَنْصُرُهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ لِسَانِهِ أَيَّامَ حَيَاتِهِ

(The book) ‘Kashf Al-Ghumma’ – Hesaww lived for sixty three years, from these were two years and four months with hissaww fatheras, and eight years with hissaww grandfatheras Abdul Muttalibasws. Then hissaww uncleas Abu Talibas took hissaww responsibility after hisas expiry. Abdul Muttalibasws used to honour himsaww, and protect himsaww, and help himsaww by hisas hand and hisas tongue for the day of hisas life.

وَ قِيلَ إِنَّ أَبَاهُ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ حَمْلٌ وَ قِيلَ مَاتَ وَ عُمُرُهُ سَبْعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ وَ مَاتَتْ أُمُّهُ وَ عُمُرُهُ سِتُّ سِنِينَ.

And it is said, ‘Hissaww fatheras passed away while hesaww was being carried (in hissaww motheras, and it is said heas passed away and hissaww age was seven months, and hissaww motheras died and hissaww age was six years’.

وَ رَوَى مُسْلِمٌ فِي صَحِيحِهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي فِي زِيَارَةِ قَبْرِ أُمِّي فَأَذِنَ لِي فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ تُذَكِّرْكُمُ الْمَوْتَ.

And it is reported by Muslim in his (book) ‘Saheeh’, hesaww said: ‘Isaww sought the Permission of mysaww Lordazwj in visiting the grave of mysaww motheras. Heazwj Permitted mesaww, so visit the graves, you will remember the death’.

و تزوج خديجة و هو ابن خمس و عشرين سنة و توفي عمه أبو طالب و عمره ست و أربعون سنة و ثمانية أشهر و أربعة و عشرون يوما و توفيت خديجة ع بعده بثلاثة أيام فسمي ذلك عام الحزن‏.

And hesaww married Khadeejaas and hesaww was twenty five years old, and hissaww uncleas Abu Talibas passed away and hissaww ages was forty six years and eight months and twenty four days, and (Syeda) Khadeejaas passed away after himas by three days, so that is named as the ‘Year of grief’’.

وَ رَوَى هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَا زَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ كَاعَّةً حَتَّى مَاتَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ. و أقام بمكة بعد البعثة ثلاث عشرة سنة ثم هاجر إلى المدينة بعد أن استتر في الغار ثلاثة أيام و قيل ستة أيام و دخل المدينة يوم الإثنين الحادي عشر من ربيع الأول و بقي بها عشر سنين ثم قبض لليلتين بقيتا من صفر سنة إحدى عشرة للهجرة.

And it is reported by Hisham Bin Urwah, from his father who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Quraysh did not cease to be in awe until Abu Talibas passed away. And hesaww stayed in Makkah after the Prophet-hood by thirteen years, then emigrated to Al-Medina after hiding in the cave for three days’; and it is said, six days; and hesaww entered Al-Medina on the day of Monday of the eleventh of Rabbi Al-Awwal, and remained at it for ten years, then hesaww passed away on two nights remaining from Safar of the year eleven of the emigration’.

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا حَضَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص جَعَلَ يُغْمَى عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ وَا كَرْبَاهْ لِكَرْبِكَ يَا أَبَتَاهْ فَفَتَحَ عَيْنَهُ وَ قَالَ لَا كَرْبَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ بَعْدَ الْيَوْمِ.

From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws having said: ‘When (the expiry) presented to the Prophetsaww, hesaww kept fainting. (Syeda) Fatimaasws said: ‘O the distress to yoursaww distress, O fathersaww!’ Hesaww opened hissaww eyes and said: ‘There is no distress upon yourasws fathersaww today’’.

وَ قَالَ ع‏ وَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مُجْتَمِعُونَ حَوْلَهُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَ لَا سُنَّةَ بَعْدَ سُنَّتِي فَمَنِ ادَّعَى ذَلِكَ فَدَعْوَاهُ وَ بَاغِيهِ فِي النَّارِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَحْيُوا الْقِصَاصَ وَ أَحْيُوا الْحَقَّ لِصَاحِبِ الْحَقِّ وَ لَا تَفَرَّقُوا وَ أَسْلِمُوا وَ سَلِّمُوا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَ رُسُلِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ.

And hesaww said, and the Muslims had gathered around himsaww: ‘O you people! Surely there is no Prophetsaww after mesaww, nor any Sunnah after mysaww Sunnah, so the one who claims that, then his claim and his rebellion are in the Fire. O you people! Revive the retaliation, and revive the Truth to the owner of the Truth, and do not separate, and submit submissively. Allah has Ordained: “Neither I nor My Rasool would be overcome!” Surely, Allah is Strong, Mighty [58:21]’’.

وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الثَّعْلَبِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ قَدْ ثَقُلَ‏ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى الْأَجَلُ قَالَ قَدْ حَضَرَ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَإِلَى مَا الْمُنْقَلَبُ قَالَ إِلَى السِّدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَ جَنَّةِ الْمَأْوَى وَ إِلَى الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى وَ الْكَأْسِ الْأَوْفَى وَ الْعَيْشِ الْمُهَنَّى

And from the book of Abu Is’haq Al-Sa’alby who said, ‘Abu Bakr entered to see the Prophetsaww and hesaww (illness) had worsened. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! When is the death to be?’ Hesaww said: ‘It has presented’. Abu Bakr said, ‘Allahazwj is the Helper upon that. So, to what will be the transfer?’ Hesaww said: ‘To the Sidrat Al-Muntaha, and the Garden of Al Mawa, and to the lofty friends, and the cup filled to the brim, and the life of Proximity’.

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَنْ يَلِي غُسْلَكَ قَالَ رِجَالُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِيَ الْأَدْنَى فَالْأَدْنَى قَالَ فَفِيمَ نُكَفِّنُكَ قَالَ فِي ثِيَابِي هَذِهِ الَّتِي عَلَيَّ أَوْ فِي حُلَّةٍ يَمَانِيَّةٍ أَوْ فِي بَيَاضِ مِصْرَ

Abu Bakr said, ‘So, who fill be in charge of yoursaww washing?’ Hesaww said: ‘A man from mysaww closest family, the closest one’. He said, ‘So, in what should we enshroud yousaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘In these clothes of minesaww which are upon mesaww, or in a Yemeni garment, or in a white of Egypt’.

قَالَ كَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْكَ فَارْتَجَّتِ الْأَرْضُ بِالْبُكَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ص مَهْلًا عَفَا اللَّهُ عَنْكُمْ إِذَا غُسِّلْتُ وَ كُفِّنْتُ فَضَعُونِي عَلَى سَرِيرِي فِي بَيْتِي هَذَا عَلَى شَفِيرِ قَبْرِي ثُمَّ اخْرُجُوا عَنِّي سَاعَةً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُصَلِّي عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ يَأْذَنُ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيَّ

He said, ‘How would the Salat be upon yousaww?’ And the ground shuddered with the crying. The Prophetsaww said to them: ‘Shh, no! May Allahazwj Pardon you. When Isaww and washed and enshrouded, then place mesaww upon mysaww bier in this house of minesaww, at the edge of mysaww grave. Then go out from mesaww for a while, for Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted would be the first One to pray Salat upon mesaww, then Heazwj will Permit for the Angels regarding the Salat upon mesaww.

فَأَوَّلُ مَنْ يَنْزِلُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع ثُمَّ إِسْرَافِيلُ ثُمَّ مِيكَائِيلُ ثُمَّ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ ع فِي جُنُودٍ كَثِيرٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ بِأَجْمَعِهَا ثُمَّ ادْخُلُوا عَلَيَّ زُمْرَةً زُمْرَةً فَصَلُّوا عَلَيَّ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً وَ لَا تُؤْذُونِي بِتَزْكِيَةٍ وَ لَا رَنَّةٍ وَ لْيَبْدَأْ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيَّ الْأَدْنَى فَالْأَدْنَى مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي ثُمَّ النِّسَاءُ ثُمَّ الصِّبْيَانُ زُمَراً

Thus, the first one to descend would be Jibraeelas, then Israfeelas, then Mikaeelas, then the Angel of death in an army of multitude from the Angels in their entirety. Then enter a group by group unto mesaww, and they should pray Salat upon mesaww submitting submissively, and you should not hurt mesaww neither with a chastening nor a clamour. And let himasws begin with the Salat upon mesaww, the closest one of the close ones from mysaww family, then the women, then the children in a group’.

قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَمَنْ يَدْخُلُ قَبْرَكَ قَالَ الْأَدْنَى فَالْأَدْنَى مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مَعَ مَلَائِكَةٍ لَا تَرَوْنَهُمْ قُومُوا فَأَدَّوْا عَنِّي إِلَى مَنْ وَرَاءَكُمْ

Abu Bakr said, ‘So, who will enter yoursaww grave?’ Hesaww said: ‘The closest oneasws from the close ones of mysaww family, along with the Angels you will not be seeing. Arise and leave from mesaww, there are ones behind you’.

فَقُلْتُ لِلْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ مَنْ حَدَّثَكَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ.

I said to Al-Haris Bin Murra, ‘Who narrated this Hadeeth to you?’ He said, ‘Abdullah Bin Masoud’.

عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ قَالَ: كَانَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي قُبِضَ فِيهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَيَقُولُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ وَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكَ وَ لَكِنَّهُ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَزِيدَكَ كَرَامَةً وَ شَرَفاً إِلَى مَا أَعْطَاكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ وَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكُونَ‏ عِيَادَةُ الْمَرِيضِ سُنَّةً فِي أُمَّتِكَ

From Aliasws having said: ‘Jibraeelas was descending unto the Prophetsaww during hissaww illness in which hesaww passed away during every day, and during every night, and hesaww was saying: ‘The greetings be unto yousaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj Conveys the Greetings to yousaww and says: “How are yousaww?”, and Heazwj is more Knowing with yousaww, but Heazwj Wants to Increase yousaww in prestige and nobility what Heazwj Gave yousaww over the people, and Wants consoling the patient to be a Sunnah in yoursaww community’.

فَيَقُولُ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص إِنْ كَانَ وَجَعاً يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ أَجِدُنِي وَجِعاً فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع اعْلَمْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يُشَدِّدْ عَلَيْكَ وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ أَكْرَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنْكَ وَ لَكِنَّهُ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَسْمَعَ صَوْتَكَ وَ دُعَاءَكَ حَتَّى تَلْقَاهُ مُسْتَوْجِباً لِلدَّرَجَةِ وَ الثَّوَابِ الَّذِي أَعَدَّ لَكَ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ الْفَضِيلَةِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ

The Prophetsaww said to himas: ‘If it was pain, O Jibraeelas, Isaww do find pain’. Jibraeelas said to himsaww: ‘Know, O Muhammadsaww, that Allahazwj is not being difficult upon yousaww, and there is no one from Hisazwj creatures more honourable to Himazwj than yousaww are, but Hesaww Loves to Hear yoursaww voice, and yoursaww supplication until yousaww meet Himazwj, Obligated for the ranks and the Rewards which have been Prepared for yousaww, and the honours and the merits over the creatures’.

وَ إِنْ قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَجِدُنِي مُرِيحاً فِي عَافِيَةٍ قَالَ لَهُ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ تَحْمَدَهُ وَ تَشْكُرَهُ لِيَزِيدَكَ إِلَى مَا أَعْطَاكَ خَيْراً فَإِنَّهُ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ وَ يَزِيدُ مَنْ شَكَرَ

And if the Prophetsaww said to himas: ‘Isaww am comfortable in illness’, heas said: ‘Then praise Allahazwj upon that, for Heazwj Loves that yousaww praise Himazwj and thank Himazwj for Himazwj to Increase yousaww to what Heazwj has already Given yousaww of goodness, for Heazwj Loved to be praised and Increase the one who is thankful’.

قَالَ وَ إِنَّهُ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْوَقْتِ الَّذِي كَانَ يَنْزِلُ فِيهِ فَعَرَفْنَا حِسَّهُ

Heasws said: ‘And heas descended unto himsaww during the time in which heas used to descend in, so weasws recognised hisas faint voice.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَيُخْرِجُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ غَيْرِي فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَسْأَلُكَ وَ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِكَ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَجِدُنِي مَيِّتاً قَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَكَ بِمَا تَجِدُ مَا أَعَدَّ لَكَ مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ

Aliasws said: ‘So the ones who were in the house went out, apart from measws’. Jibraeelas said to himsaww: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj Conveys the Greetings to yousaww and Asks yousaww, and Heazwj is more Knowing than yousaww are: “How are yousaww feeling?”’ The Prophetsaww said to himas: ‘Isaww feel dead’. Jibraeelas said to himsaww: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Receive glad tidings, for Allahazwj rather Wanted yousaww to reach (the point) with what yousaww are feeling, what Heazwj has Prepared for yousaww, of the honours’.

قَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص إِنَّ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيَّ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ وَ اسْتَنْظَرْتُهُ مَجِيئَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ إِلَيْكَ مُشْتَاقٌ فَمَا اسْتَأْذَنَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ قَبْلَكَ وَ لَا يَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ بَعْدَكَ

The Prophetsaww said to himas: ‘The Angel of death is seeking permission to mesaww, so allow him’. Iasws saw his coming. He said to himsaww: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Yoursaww Lordazwj is Desirous to yousaww. The Angel of death has not sought permission to anyone before yousaww, nor will he to anyone after yousaww’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَا تَبْرَحْ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ حَتَّى‏ يَعُودَ ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِلنِّسَاءِ فَدَخَلْنَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِابْنَتِهِ ادْنِي مِنِّي يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَأَكَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ فَنَاجَاهَا فَرَفَعَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَ عَيْنَاهَا تَهْمِلَانِ دُمُوعاً فَقَالَ لَهَا ادْنِي مِنِّي فَدَنَتْ مِنْهُ فَأَكَبَّتْ عَلَيْهِ فَنَاجَاهَا فَرَفَعَتْ رَأْسَهَا وَ هِيَ تَضْحَكُ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Do not move, O Jibraeelas, until he returns’. Then hesaww permitted for the women and they entered to himsaww. Hesaww said to hissaww daughterasws: ‘Come near mesaww, O Fatimaasws!’ Sheasws devoted to himsaww and hesaww whispered to herra. Sheasws raised herasws head and herasws eyes were bearing tears. Hesaww said to herasws: ‘Come near mesaww’. Sheasws went near himsaww. Hesaww whispered to herasws. Sheasws raised herasws head and sheasws was joyful.

فَتَعَجَّبْنَا لِمَا رَأَيْنَا فَسَأَلْنَاهَا فَأَخْبَرَتْنَا أَنَّهُ نَعَى إِلَيْهَا نَفْسَهُ فَبَكَتْ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّةِ لَا تَجْزَعِي فَإِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَبِّي أَنْ يَجْعَلَكِ أَوَّلَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي لَحَاقاً بِي فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ لِي فَضَحِكْتُ

We were astonished to what we saw. We asked her, and sheasws informed us that hesaww had given herasws the news of hissaww expiry, so sheasws had cried. Hesaww said: ‘O daughterasws! Do not cry, for Isaww asked mysaww Lordazwj to Make youasws to be the first one of mysaww familyasws to join up with mesaww, and Heazwj Informed mesaww that Hesaww had Answered for mesaww’, so Iasws was joyful.

قَالَ ثُمَّ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ص الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع فَقَبَّلَهُمَا وَ شَمَّهُمَا وَ جَعَلَ يَتَرَشَّفُهُمَا وَ عَيْنَاهُ تَهْمِلَانِ.

Heasws said: ‘Then the Prophetsaww called Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and kissed themasws, and smelt themasws, and went on to hug themasws and hissaww eyes were filled (with tears)’’.

وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: أَتَى جَبْرَئِيلُ ع إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَعُودُهُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا آخِرُ يَوْمٍ أَهْبِطُ فِيهِ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا.

And it is reported from Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘Jibraeelas came to Rasool-Allahsaww to console himsaww. Heas said: ‘The greetings be upon yousaww, O Muhammadsaww! This is the last day Ias shall be coming down during it to the world’.

And from Ata’a Bin Yasaar – ‘Rasool-Allahsaww, when (expiry) presented, Jibraeelas came to himsaww. Heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Now, Ias shall ascend to the sky and not descend to the earth, ever!’’.

وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا حَضَرَتِ النَّبِيَّ الْوَفَاةُ اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ ع فَقَالَ حَاجَتُكَ قَالَ أَرَدْتُ‏ الدُّخُولَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ لَسْتَ تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ فَمَا حَاجَتُكَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ مِنَ الدُّخُولِ عَلَيْهِ

And from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘When the expiry presented to the Prophetsaww, a man sought permission to see himsaww. Aliasws went out and said: ‘(What) is your need?’ He said, ‘I want to enter to see Rasool-Allahsaww’. Aliasws said: ‘You cannot arrive to himsaww, so what is your need?’ The man said, ‘There is no escape from the entry to himsaww’.

فَدَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ النَّبِيَّ ع فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ وَ جَلَسَ عِنْدَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ قَالَ وَ أَيُّ رُسُلِ اللَّهِ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ أَرْسَلَنِي إِلَيْكَ يُخَيِّرُكَ‏ بَيْنَ لِقَائِهِ وَ الرُّجُوعِ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا

Aliasws entered and sought permission of the Prophetsaww. Hesaww permitted for him. He entered and sat by the head of Rasool-Allahsaww, then said: ‘O Prophetsaww of Allahazwj! I am a Messenger of Allahazwj to yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘And which Messenger are you?’ He said: ‘I am the Angel of death. Heazwj Sent me to yousaww to give yousaww a choice between meeting Himazwj and the return to the world’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ فَأَمْهِلْنِي حَتَّى يَنْزِلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَأَسْتَشِيرَهُ وَ نَزَلَ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولى‏ وَ لَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضى‏ لِقَاءُ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ لَكَ

The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Respite mesaww until Jibraeelas descends and Isaww consult himas. And Jibraeelas descended and said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And the Hereafter is better for you than the first (life) [93:4] And soon your Lord will Give you, so you will be pleased [93:5]. Meeting Allahazwj is better for yousaww’.

فَقَالَ ص لِقَاءُ رَبِّي خَيْرٌ لِي فَامْضِ لِمَا أُمِرْتَ بِهِ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ لِمَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ لَا تَعْجَلْ حَتَّى أَعْرُجَ إِلَى رَبِّي وَ أَهْبِطَ قَالَ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ‏ ع لَقَدْ صَارَتْ نَفْسُهُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ لَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى تَأْخِيرِهَا

Hesaww said: ‘Meeting mysaww Lordazwj is better for mesaww. Accomplish what you have been Commanded with’. Jibraeelas said to the Angel of death: ‘Do not be hasty until Ias ascend to myas Lordazwj and come down’. The Angel of death said: ‘Hissaww soul has come to be in a place I am not able upon delaying it’.

فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا آخِرُ هُبُوطِي إِلَى الدُّنْيَا إِنَّمَا كُنْتَ أَنْتَ حَاجَتِي فِيهَا وَ اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَصْحَابُهُ فِي دَفْنِهِ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ رُوحَ نَبِيِّهِ إِلَّا فِي أَطْهَرِ الْبِقَاعِ وَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُدْفَنَ حَيْثُ قُبِضَ فَأَخَذُوا بِقَوْلِهِ.

During that, Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! This is the last of myas descents to the world. But rather yousaww were myas need in it’. And hissaww family members and hissaww companions differed regarding hissaww burial. Aliasws said: ‘Surely, Allahazwj did not Take a soul of Hisazwj Prophetsaww except in the purest spot, and it is befitting that hesaww be buried where hesaww passed away’. They took to hisasws words’’.

And Al-Jamhour reported – ‘Hissaww expiry was during the Monday on the twelfth of Rabbi Al-Awwal. They said hesaww was born on the day of Monday and was Sent on the day of Monday and entered Al-Medina on the day of Monday and passed away on the day of Monday, just as we mentioned just now, and hesaww was buried on the day of Wednesday.

وَ دَخَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْعَبَّاسُ وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ قِيلَ وَ قُثَمُ أَيْضاً وَ قَالَتْ بَنُو زُهْرَةَ نَحْنُ أَخْوَالُهُ فَأَدْخِلُوا مِنَّا وَاحِداً فَأَدْخَلُوا عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ عَوْفٍ وَ قِيلَ دَخَلَ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَ قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ أَنَا أَقْرَبُكُمْ عَهْداً بِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ أَلْقَى خَاتَمَهُ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَ نَزَلَ اسْتَخْرَجَهُ.

And there entered to see himsaww, Al-Abbas, and Aliasws, and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas, and it is said, and Qasam as well; and the clan of Zuhra said, ‘We are hissaww uncles, so include one (man) from us, so they included Abdul Rahman Bin Awf, and it is said Usama Bin Zayd also entered. And Al-Mugheira Bin Shu’ba said, ‘I am they closest of the pact with himsaww, and that he threw his ring in the grave and descended to extract it’.

وَ لَحَدَهُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ وَ أَلْقَى الْقَطِيفَةَ تَحْتَهُ شُقْرَانُ.

And Abu Talha dug hissaww grave, and Shuqran threw the velvet (cloth) under himsaww’’.⁶²¹

37- كشف، كشف الغمة رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع لِلنَّبِيِّ ص وَ هُوَ فِي سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ يَا أَبَتِ أَنَا لَا أَصْبِرُ عَنْكَ سَاعَةً مِنَ الدُّنْيَا فَأَيْنَ الْمِيعَادُ غَداً قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ أَهْلِي لُحُوقاً بِي وَ الْمِيعَادُ عَلَى جِسْرِ جَهَنَّمَ

(The book) ‘Kashf Al-Ghumma’ – It is reported from Ibn Abbas who said, (Syeda) ‘Fatimaasws said to the Prophetsaww and hesaww was in the pangs of death: ‘O fathersaww! Iasws cannot be patient about yousaww for a moment from the world, so where is the appointment tomorrow?’ Hesaww said: ‘As for youasws, youasws will be the first of mysaww family to join up with mesaww and the appointment is upon the Bridge over Hell’.

قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتِ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جِسْمَكَ وَ لَحْمَكَ عَلَى النَّارِ قَالَ بَلَى وَ لَكِنِّي قَائِمٌ حَتَّى تَجُوزَ أُمَّتِي

Sheasws said: ‘O fathersaww! Hasn’t Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Prohibited yoursaww body and yoursaww flesh upon the Fire?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, but Isaww shall stand until mysaww community crosses over’.

قَالَتْ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَرَكَ هُنَاكَ قَالَ تَرَيِنِّي عِنْدَ الْقَنْطَرَةِ السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ قَنَاطِرِ جَهَنَّمَ أَسْتَوْهِبُ الظَّالِمَ مِنَ الْمَظْلُومِ

Sheasws said: ‘Supposing Iasws do not see youasws over there?’ Hesaww said: ‘Youasws will see mesaww by the seventh arch from the arches of Hell. Isaww shall be separating the oppressor from the oppressed’.

قَالَتْ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَرَكَ هُنَاكَ قَالَ تَرَيِنِّي فِي مَقَامِ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَ أَنَا أَشْفَعُ لِأُمَّتِي

Sheasws said: ‘Supposing Iasws do not see yousaww over there?’ Hesaww said: ‘Youasws will see mesaww in the place of intercession and Isaww shall be interceding for mysaww community’.

قَالَتْ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَرَكَ هُنَاكَ قَالَ تَرَيِنِّي عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُ‏ لِأُمَّتِي الْخَلَاصَ مِنَ النَّارِ

Sheasws said: ‘Supposing Iasws do not see youasws over there?’ Hesaww said: ‘Youasws will see mesaww at the Scale, and Isaww shall ask mysaww community of the finishing off from the Fire’.

قَالَتْ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَرَكَ هُنَاكَ قَالَ تَرَيِنِّي عِنْدَ الْحَوْضِ حَوْضِي عَرْضُهُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ إِلَى صَنْعَاءَ عَلَى حَوْضِي أَلْفُ غُلَامٍ بِأَلْفِ كَأْسٍ كَاللُّؤْلُؤِ الْمَنْظُومِ وَ كَالْبِيضِ الْمَكْنُونِ مَنْ تَنَاوَلَ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً فَشَرِبَهَا لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً

Sheasws said: ‘Supposing Iasws do not see yousaww over there?’ Hesaww said: ‘Youasws will see mesaww at the Fountain. Its width is what is between Eilat (Israel) up to Sana’a (Yemen). At the Fountain would be thousands of boys with thousands of cups, like the arranged pearls and the protected eggs. One who is given a drink from it and drinks it, would not be thirsty after it, ever’.

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى خَرَجَتِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ جَسَدِهِ ص‏.

Hesaww did not cease saying that until the soul exited from hissaww body’’.⁶²²

(The book) ‘Kafaayat al Asar’ – Ali Bin Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from Haroun Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ma’mar, from Abdullah Bin Ma’bad, from Musa Bin Ibrahim, from abdul Kareem Bin Hilal, from Aslam, from Abu Al Tufayl, from Ammar who said,

‘When the expiry presented to Rasool-Allahsaww, hesaww called for Aliasws and held a secretive conversation with himasws for a long time, then said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws are mysaww successorasws, and mysaww inheritor. Allahazwj has Given youasws mysaww knowledge, and mysaww understanding. So, when Isaww pass away, grudges (which are) in the chests of the people would be manifested to youasws, they will usurp yourasws rights’.

فَبَكَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ بَكَى الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَقَالَ لِفَاطِمَةَ يَا سَيِّدَةَ النِّسْوَانِ مِمَّ بُكَاؤُكِ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتِ أَخْشَى الضَّيْعَةَ بَعْدَكَ

(Syeda) Fatimaasws cried, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws cried. Hesaww said to Fatimaasws: ‘O Chieftess of the women! What are youasws crying from?’ Sheasws said: ‘O fathersaww! Iasws fear the loss after yousaww’.

قَالَ أَبْشِرِي يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَإِنَّكِ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَلْحَقُنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي لَا تَبْكِي وَ لَا تَحْزَنِي فَإِنَّكِ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَبَاكِ سَيِّدُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ ابْنُ عَمِّكِ خَيْرُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ ابْنَاكِ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ مِنْ صُلْبِ الْحُسَيْنِ يُخْرِجُ اللَّهُ الْأَئِمَّةَ التِّسْعَةَ مُطَهَّرُونَ مَعْصُومُونَ وَ مِنْهَا مَهْدِيُّ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ

Hesaww said: ‘Receive glad tidings, O Fatimaasws, for youasws will be the first one from mysaww family to join up with mesaww. do not cry and do not grieve, for youasws are the Chieftess of the women of the people of the Paradise, and yourasws fathersaww is the Chief of the Prophetsas, and the sonasws of yourasws uncleas is the best of the successorsas, and yourasws two sonsasws are the Chiefs of the youths of the people of the Paradise, and from the Sulb of Al-Husaynasws, Allahazwj Extract the nine Imamsasws, pure, infallible, and from them is the Mahdiasws of this community’.

ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا يَلِي غُسْلِي وَ تَكْفِينِي غَيْرُكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ يُنَاوِلُنِي الْمَاءَ فَإِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ ثَقِيلٌ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أُقَلِّبَكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ مَعَكَ وَ يُنَاوِلُكَ الْفَضْلُ الْمَاءَ قَالَ فَلْيُغَطِّ عَيْنَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَرَى أَحَدٌ عَوْرَتِي غَيْرُكَ إِلَّا انْفَقَأَتْ عَيْنَاهُ

Then hesaww turned around to Aliasws and said: ‘O Aliasws! No one should be in charge of mysaww washing and mysaww enshrouding apart from youasws’. Aliasws said to himsaww: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who will give measws the water, for yousaww are a heavy mansaww, Iasws will not be able to turn yousaww’. Hesaww said to himasws: ‘Jibraeelas will be with youasws and Al-Fazl will give youasws the water. Let him cover his eyes, for no one will see mysaww privacy apart from youasws except his eyes would be blinded’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا مَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ الْفَضْلُ يُنَاوِلُهُ الْمَاءَ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يُعَاوِنُهُ فَلَمَّا أَنْ غَسَّلَهُ وَ كَفَّنَهُ أَتَاهُ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَدْفِنُوا النَّبِيَّ ص بِالْبَقِيعِ وَ أَنْ يَؤُمَّهُمْ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ

He (the narrator) said, ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, Al-Fazl was giving himasws the water and Jibraeelas was assisting himasws. When heasws had washed himsaww and enshrouded himsaww, Al-Abbas came to himasws and said: ‘O Aliasws! The people have gathered upon burying the Prophetsaww at Al-Baqie (cemetery), and one man is leading them’.

فَخَرَجَ عَلَى النَّاسِ‏ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ إِمَاماً حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً وَ هَلْ تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَعَنَ مَنْ جَعَلَ الْقُبُورَ مُصَلًّى وَ لَعَنَ مَنْ جَعَلَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهاً آخَرَ وَ لَعَنَ مَنْ كَسَرَ رَبَاعِيَتَهُ وَ شَقَّ لِثَتَهُ

Heasws went out to the people and said: ‘O you people! Rasool-Allahsaww was an Imam (when) alive and (when) deceased, and do you know that Rasool-Allahsaww cursed the one who makes the graves as a praying place, and cursed the one who makes a god to be with Allahazwj, and cursed the one who broke hissaww teeth and injured hissaww gums?’

قَالَ فَقَالُوا الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْكَ فَاصْنَعْ مَا رَأَيْتَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَدْفِنُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘They said, ‘The matter is up to youasws, so do whatever youasws see fit’. Heasws said: ‘Iasws shall bury Rasool-Allahsaww in the very spot in which hesaww passed away’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَامَ عَلَى الْبَابِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ عَشْراً عَشْراً يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُونَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws stood at the door and prayed Salat upon himsaww, then instructed the people, ten by ten to be praying Salat upon himsaww, then they were going out’’.⁶²³

39- كا، الكافي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَاتَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص بِأَطْوَلَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى ظَنُّوا أَنْ لَا سَمَاءَ تُظِلُّهُمْ وَ لَا أَرْضَ تُقِلُّهُمْ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَتَرَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ وَ الْأَبْعَدِينَ فِي اللَّهِ

Al Kafi – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Mansour Bin Al Abbas, from ali Bin Asbat, from Yaqoub Bin Salim, from a man,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww spent long nights until theyasws thought that there is no sky to shade them nor any land below themasws, because Rasool-Allahsaww had held together the near ones and the far ones for the Sake of Allahazwj.

فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ لَا يَرَوْنَهُ وَ يَسْمَعُونَ كَلَامَهُ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ إِنَّ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ نَجَاةً مِنْ كُلِّ هَلَكَةٍ وَ دَرَكاً لِمَا فَاتَ

While theyasws were in that (situation), a comer came to them. Theyasws were not seeing him but theyasws were hearing his speech. He said, ‘The greetings be upon youasws the Peopleasws of the Household, and the Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings! In Allahazwj there is a consolation from every difficulty and salvation from every destruction, and recovery of whatever is lost.

‏ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذائِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ وَ إِنَّما تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ فَمَنْ زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فازَ وَ مَا الْحَياةُ الدُّنْيا إِلَّا مَتاعُ الْغُرُورِ

Every self shall taste the death, and rather you will be paid fully your Recompense on the Day of Judgement; so the one who is removed far away from the Fire and enters the Paradise he indeed has succeeded; and what is the life of the world except for a deceptive pleasure? [3:185].

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَارَكُمْ وَ فَضَّلَكُمْ وَ طَهَّرَكُمْ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّهِ وَ اسْتَوْدَعَكُمْ عِلْمَهُ وَ أَوْرَثَكُمْ كِتَابَهُ وَ جَعَلَكُمْ تَابُوتَ عِلْمِهِ وَ عَصَا عِزِّهِ وَ ضَرَبَ لَكُمْ مَثَلًا مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ عَصَمَكُمْ مِنَ الزَّلَلِ وَ آمَنَكُمْ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ فَتَعَزَّوْا بِعَزَاءِ اللَّهِ

Allahazwj Chose you all (Imamsasws), and Preferred youasws, and Purified youasws, and Made youasws the Peopleasws of the Household of Hisazwj Prophetsaww, and Entrusted Hisazwj Knowledge to youasws, and Made youasws to inherit Hisazwj Book, and Made youasws a Container of Hisazwj Knowledge, and a Staff of Hisazwj Mighty, And Struck for youasws a resemblance from Hisazwj Light and Protected youasws from the error, and Secured youasws from the strife. Thus, youasws were consoled by the Condolences of Allahazwj.

فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمْ يَنْزِعْ مِنْكُمْ رَحْمَتَهُ وَ لَنْ يُزِيلَ عَنْكُمْ نِعْمَتَهُ فَأَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِينَ بِهِمْ تَمَّتِ النِّعْمَةُ وَ اجْتَمَعَتِ الْفُرْقَةُ وَ ائْتَلَفَتِ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ فَمَنْ تَوَلَّاكُمْ فَازَ وَ مَنْ ظَلَمَ حَقَّكُمْ زَهَقَ

Allahazwj did not Remove Hisazwj Mercy from youasws and never Declined Hisazwj Bounties from youasws. Youasws are the Peopleasws of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, those by whomasws the Bounties are completed, and the parties gather together, and the speeches are harmonised. And youasws are the Guardiansasws of Allahazwj. So the one who is in yourasws Wilayah would succeed and the one who oppressed yourasws rights would vanish.

مَوَدَّتُكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَاجِبَةٌ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ اللَّهُ عَلَى نَصْرِكُمْ إِذَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ فَاصْبِرُوا لِعَوَاقِبِ الْأُمُورِ فَإِنَّهَا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَصِيرُ قَدْ قَبِلَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِ وَدِيعَةً وَ اسْتَوْدَعَكُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَمَنْ أَدَّى أَمَانَتَهُ أَتَاهُ اللَّهُ صِدْقَهُ

(Adopting) yourasws cordiality is from Allahazwj, being an Obligation in Hisazwj Book upon Hisazwj servants who are the Momineen. Then, Allahazwj is Able upon Helping youasws whenever Heazwj so Desires to. Therefore, be patient for the consequential ending of the affairs, for these are proceeding to Allahazwj. Allahazwj has Accepted youasws from Hisazwj Prophetsaww as a depository and Entrusted youasws with Hisazwj friends, the Momineen, in the earth. So the one who fulfils his entrustment, Allahazwj would Give him (Rewards for) his truthfulness.

فَأَنْتُمُ الْأَمَانَةُ الْمُسْتَوْدَعَةُ وَ لَكُمُ الْمَوَدَّةُ الْوَاجِبَةُ وَ الطَّاعَةُ الْمَفْرُوضَةُ وَ قَدْ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَدْ أَكْمَلَ لَكُمُ الدِّينَ وَ بَيَّنَ لَكُمْ سَبِيلَ الْمَخْرَجِ فَلَمْ يَتْرُكْ لِجَاهِلٍ حُجَّةً فَمَنْ جَهِلَ أَوْ تَجَاهَلَ أَوْ أَنْكَرَ أَوْ نَسِيَ أَوْ تَنَاسَى فَعَلَى اللَّهِ حِسَابُهُ وَ اللَّهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حَوَائِجِكُمْ وَ أَسْتَوْدِعُكُمُ اللَّهَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ

Thus, youasws are the Entrusted entrustments, and for youasws is the Obligatory cordiality and the necessitated obedience, and Allahazwj has Captured (the soul of) Hisazwj Prophetsaww, and has Perfected the Religion for you all and Explained to you the way out (deliverance). Therefore Heazwj did not leave an argument for the ignorant one. The one who is ignorant or pretends to be ignorant, or denies, or forgets, or pretends to forget, so his Reckoning is upon Allahazwj, and Allahazwj is behind (the fulfilment of) all your needs, and Iasws entrust you all to Allahazwj, and the greetings be upon you all’.

فَسَأَلْتُ‏ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع مِمَّنْ أَتَاهُمُ التَّعْزِيَةُ فَقَالَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى‏.

I asked Abu Ja’farasws, ‘From who does the consolation come to themasws?’ So heasws said: ‘From Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted’’.⁶²⁴

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Abu Maryam Al Ansari,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘I said to himasws, ‘How was the Salat upon the Prophetsaww?’

قَالَ لَمَّا غَسَّلَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ كَفَّنَهُ سَجَّاهُ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَشَرَةً فَدَارُوا حَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي وَسْطِهِمْ فَقَالَ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً فَيَقُولُ الْقَوْمُ كَمَا يَقُولُ حَتَّى صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ أَهْلُ الْعَوَالِي‏.

Heasws said: ‘When Amir Al-Momineenasws had washed himsaww and enshrouded himsaww, covered himsaww. Then ten entered to see himsaww. They circled around himsaww, then Amir Al-Momineenasws paused in their midst and said: Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawat upon him and submit submissively [33:56]’. The people said just as heasws had said, until they had prayed Salat upon himsaww, the people of Al-Medina and the people of Al-Awaly’’.⁶³⁰

Al Kafi – Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad, from Al Halby,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Al-Abbas came to Amir Al-Momineenasws and said, ‘O Aliasws! The people have gathered to bury Rasool-Allahazwj in a spot of the praying place, and that a man from them is leading them’.

Amir Al-Momineenasws came out to the people and said: ‘O you people! Rasool-Allahsaww is an Imam (when) alive and (when) deceased, and hesaww said: ‘Isaww was to be buried in the very spot in which Isaww pass away’.

Then heasws stood at the door and prayed Salat upon himsaww, then instructed ten by ten (people) to be praying Salat upon himsaww, they were leaving’’.⁶³²

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salama Bin Al Khattab, from ali Bin Sayf, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘When the Prophetsaww passed away, there prayed Salat upon himsaww, the Angels and the Emigrants, and the Helpers, in droves and droves’.

Heasws said: ‘And Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying during hissaww good health and hissaww well-being: ‘But rather, this Verse was Revealed unto mesaww regarding the Salawat upon mesaww after Allahazwj Captures measws (mysaww soul): Surely Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawat upon the Prophet.

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww was enshrouded in three clothes – a red cloak of Hibra, and two white clothes of ‘Suhary’’. I said to himasws, ‘And how was hesaww prayed upon?’

قَالَ سُجِّيَ بِثَوْبٍ وَ جُعِلَ وَسَطَ الْبَيْتِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ قَوْمٌ دَارُوا بِهِ وَ صَلَّوْا عَلَيْهِ وَ دَعَوْا لَهُ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُونَ وَ يَدْخُلُ آخَرُونَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلِيٌّ ع الْقَبْرَ فَوَضَعَهُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ أَدْخَلَ مَعَهُ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ الْعَبَّاسِ

Heasws said: ‘Hesaww was covered by a cloth and made to be in the middle of the room. Then people entered, went around himsaww and supplicated for himsaww. Then they were going out and others would enter. Then Aliasws entered the grave and placed himsaww upon hisasws hand and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas entered with himasws.

A man from the Helpers, from the clan of Al-Khayla called Aws Bin Al-Khawally said, ‘I adjure you all with Allahazwj not to cut off our rights’. Aliasws said to him: ‘Enter’. So, he entered to be with them both’.

فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَيْنَ وُضِعَ السَّرِيرُ فَقَالَ عِنْدَ رِجْلِ الْقَبْرِ وَ سُلَّ سَلًّا.

I asked himasws, ‘Where was the bier placed (after the burial)?’ Heasws said: ‘By the leg part of the grave, and it was left bare’’.⁶³⁶

‘Rasool-Allahsaww passed away and hesaww was veiled by a cloth, and Rasool-Allahsaww was behind the cloth and Aliasws was by an end of hissaww cloth, and hesaww had placed hissaww cheek upon hisasws palm, and the wind was striking an end of the cloth upon the face of Aliasws’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And the people were at the door and in the Masjid, wailing and crying, and then we heard a voice in the house: ‘Your Prophetsaww is clean, therefore bury himsaww and do not wash himsaww!’’

قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ عَلِيّاً ع حِينَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَزِعاً فَقَالَ اخْسَأْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ أَمَرَنِي بِغُسْلِهِ وَ كَفْنِهِ وَ دَفْنِهِ وَ ذَاكَ سُنَّةٌ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I saw Aliasws when heasws raised hisasws head in alarm and said: ‘You are wrong, enemy of Allahazwj, for hesaww has instructed mesaww with washing himsaww and enshrouding himsaww and burying himsaww, and that is a Sunnah’’.

(The book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ - except that I have ground for consolation in having endured the great hardship and heart-rending event of your separation.

(The book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ – From a speech of hisasws having said it and heasws was in charge of washing Rasool-Allahsaww and preparing himsaww: ‘May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww! By yoursaww passing away, there has been cut off what did not get cut off from the death of others, the Prophet-hood, and the prophecies, and the news of the sky.

Yousaww are special until yousaww became a consolation from the ones besides yousaww, and general until the people became the same regarding yousaww, and had yousaww not instructed with the patience and forbidden from the panic, we would have shed upon yousaww a store of water (tears), but the disease (of death) cannot be subsided and the grief opposed, and it would have been little for yousaww, but it (death) is such, there is no control on reversing it nor is one able to repel it.

And in a report, ‘Hesaww remained for three days until hesaww was buried’. And Ibrahim Al-Saqafy mentioned in the book ‘Al-Marifat’, that the Prophetsaww remained for three days until hesaww was buried, due to their being too pre-occupied with the wilayah (rulership) of Abu Bakr, and the disputes regarding it’’.⁶⁴¹

Heasws said: ‘So, is there anyone among you to whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Sent the Consolation when Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws was crying, when weasws heard a faint sound at the door and a speaker was speaking. Weasws heard his voice and did not see his person, and he was saying: ‘The greetings be upon youasws the Peopleasws of the Household, and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings.

Yourasws Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic Conveys the Greetings to youasws and Says to youasws: “In Allahazwj there is a replacement from every calamity, and a consolation from every one who dies, and coming across of all what is lost”, therefore trust in the Consolation of Allahazwj, and know that the people of the earth would be dying and the people of the sky will not be remaining (either), and the greetings be upon youasws all, and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings’.

Then heasws said: ‘So, is there anyone among you whom Rasool-Allahsaww Gave him an embalmment from the embalments of the Paradise, and hesaww said: ‘Divide this into three.

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, they heard a voice from the side of the house, and they did not see a person saying: Every self shall taste the death, and rather you will be paid fully your Recompense on the Day of Judgement; so the one who is removed far away from the Fire and enters the Paradise he indeed has succeeded; [3:185].

ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي اللَّهِ خَلَفٌ مِنْ كُلِّ هَالِكٍ وَ عَزَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ وَ دَرَكٌ لِمَا فَاتَ فَبِاللَّهِ فَثِقُوا وَ إِيَّاهُ فَارْجُوا فَإِنَّ الْمَحْرُومَ مَنْ يَحْرُمُ الثَّوَابَ وَ اسْتُرُوا عَوْرَةَ نَبِيِّكُمْ

Then he said, ‘In Allahazwj there is a replacement from every one who dies, and a consolation from every calamity, and coming across to whatever is lost, therefore trust in Allahazwj and hope to Himazwj, for the deprived is the one deprived of the Rewards, and veil the privacy of your Prophetsaww’.

فَلَمَّا وَضَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ نُودِيَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا تَخْلَعِ الْقَمِيصَ قَالَ فَغَسَّلَهُ فِي قَمِيصِهِ

When Aliasws placed himsaww upon hissaww bier, called out: ‘O Aliasws! Do not remove the shirt’. Heasws said: ‘Heasws washed himsaww in hissaww shirt’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عَلِيُّ إِذَا أَنَا مِتُّ فَغَسِّلْنِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَرَى أَحَدٌ عَوْرَتِي غَيْرُكَ إِلَّا انْفَقَأَتْ عَيْنَاهُ

Then heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! When Isaww pass away, then wash mesaww, for not one will see mysaww privacy apart from youasws, except his eyes would be blinded’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ ثَقِيلٌ وَ لَا بُدَّ لِي مِمَّنْ يُعِينُنِي

Heasws said: ‘Aliasws said to himsaww: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Yousaww are a heavy man, and there is no escape for measws from someone to assist measws’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلُ مَعَكَ يُعِينُكَ وَ لْيُنَاوِلْكَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ الْمَاءَ وَ مُرْهُ فَلْيُعَصِّبْ عَيْنَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَرَى أَحَدٌ عَوْرَتِي غَيْرُكَ إِلَّا انْفَقَأَتْ‏ عَيْنَاهُ.

Heasws said: ‘Hesaww said to himasws: ‘Jibraeelas will be with youasws, assisting youasws and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas will give you the water and instruct him to blindfold his eyes for not one will see mysaww privacy apart from youasws, except his eyes would be blinded’’.⁶⁴⁴

Al Kafi – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Hammad Bin Usman,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When Allahazwj Took Hisazwj Prophetsaww, there entered from the grief, upon (Syeda) Fatimaasws, from hissaww expiry, what no one knows except Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. So, Heazwj Sent an Angel to herasws comfort herasws sorrow, and narrating to herasws.

Sheasws complained of that to Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heasws said to her: ‘Whenever youasws sense that and hear the voice, then tell measws’. Sheasws let himasws know that, and Amir Al-Momineenasws went on to write all what heasws hear until a book was affirmed from that’.

Heasws said: ‘Iasws said to Rasool-Allahsaww! May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww! Iasws am sufficiently strong upon washing yousaww, alone?’ Hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas has instructed mesaww with that, and that is what Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Commanded himsaww’.

Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Say to Aliasws: ‘Yourasws Lordazwj Commands youasws to what the sonsaww of yourasws uncleas, for this is the Sunnah, no one will wash the Prophetsas apart from the successorsas, and rather every successoras washes every Prophetas from after himas, and it is from the Argument of Allahazwj for Muhammadsaww upon hissaww community regarding what the crowds have gathered upon, what Heazwj is Commanding them with’. And know, O Aliasws, that for youasws, upon washing mesaww, will be an assistance from the best of the assistance and the brothers’.

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who are they? May myasws fatheras and myasws motheras be (sacrificed) for yousaww’. Hesaww said: ‘Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and Israfeelas, and the Angel of death, and Ismaeelas in charge of the sky of the world would be assistants for youasws’.

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَخَرَرْتُ لِلَّهِ سَاجِداً وَ قُلْتُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ لِي إِخْوَاناً وَ أَعْوَاناً هُمْ أُمَنَاءُ اللَّهِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Hold on to this parchment which the group have written and stipulated conditions in it upon cutting youasws out and done away yourasws right and what they have determined upon, from the injustice to take place with youasws, in order for youasws to arrive to mesaww with it tomorrow, and youasws can argue against them with it’.

Aliasws said: ‘Iasws washed Rasool-Allahsaww alone and hesaww was in hissaww shirt. Iasws went to remove the shirt from himsaww but Jibraeelas said: ‘O Aliasws! Do not bare yourasws brothersaww from hissaww shirt, for Allahazwj did not Bare himsaww, and be affirmed in the washing and Ias shall participate with youasws regarding the sonsaww of yourasws brotheras by the Command of Allahazwj’.

Iasws washed himasws with the Spirit, and the coolness, and the mercy. The Angels, the honourable, the righteous, the chosen were helping measws and withholding (himsaww, and speaking time after time, and Iasws did not turn (any part) from himsaww except hesaww was turned for measws.

فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِنْ غُسْلِهِ وَ كَفْنِهِ وَضَعْتُهُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ وَ خَرَجْتُ كَمَا أُمِرْتُ فَاجْتَمَعَ لَهُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مَا سَدَّ الْخَافِقَيْنِ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ رَبُّهُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الْكِرَامُ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ حَمَلَةُ عَرْشِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَ مَا سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

When Iasws was free from washing himsaww and enshrouding himsaww, Iasws placed himsaww upon hissaww bier just as Iasws had been instructed. There gathered to himsaww from the Angels, what blocked the trembling. Hissaww Lordazwj prayed Salat upon himsaww, and the honourable Angels of Proximity, and the honourable bearers of the Throne, and whoever Glorifies to Allahazwj Lordazwj of the worlds.

وَ أَنْفَذْتُ جَمِيعَ مَا أُمِرْتُ ثُمَّ وَارَيْتُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَسَمِعْتُ صَارِخاً يَصْرَخُ مِنْ خَلْفِي يَا آلَ تَيْمٍ وَ يَا آلَ عَدِيٍّ يَا آلَ أُمَيَّةَ أَنْتُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ تَدْعُونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا تُنْصَرُونَ

And Iasws did whatever Iasws had been instructed with, then covered himsaww in hissaww grave. Iasws head a shouter shouting from behind measws: ‘O family of Taym! O family of Aday! O family of Umayya! You are leaders calling to the Fire!, and on the Day of Qiyamah you will not be Helped!

اصْبِرُوا آلَ مُحَمَّدِ تُؤْجَرُوا وَ لَا تَجْزَعُوا فَتُوزَرُوا مَنْ كانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الْآخِرَةِ نَزِدْ لَهُ فِي حَرْثِهِ وَ مَنْ كانَ يُرِيدُ حَرْثَ الدُّنْيا نُؤْتِهِ مِنْها وَ ما لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ نَصِيبٍ‏.

Be patient, family of Muhammadsaww! You will be Recompensed and do not be dismayed. Visit each other. One Who wants the harvest of the Hereafter, We will Increase in his harvest for him, and one who wants the harvest of the world, We would Give to him from it, and there would not be a share for him in the Hereafter [42:20]’’.⁶⁴⁹

And from himasws – In the elegy (Marsiya) at hissaww visitation (Ziyarat): ‘How little are myasws tears at the deputation, except Iasws make yousaww a reason for the crying, and when Iasws remember yoursaww forgiveness with it from measws, the eyes fill up and overflow.

And in the commentary of the register, heasws said to (Syeda) Fatimaasws, near to herasws: ‘With the intense yearning Iasws visit yourasws grave crying. Iasws lament and Iasws complain, Iasws do not see an answer. O dweller of the desert! When the dwellers of the desert taught measws the crying, and myasws humanity remembers youasws, the entirety of the calamities, for youasws are hidden from measws in the soil, but youasws are not absent from the grief of the heart’.⁶⁵²

And from himasws in hisasws elegy (Marsiya) for herasws: ‘Iasws was with darkened vision, so Iasws cried upon youasws as a beholder. After youasws, whoever likes to, so let him die, Iasws used to be careful upon youasws’’.

And from himasws: ‘A people are consoling measws unknowing of the patience, and in the patience there are things more bitten than the patience, the consoler then he continues to his occupation, and the consoler remains in a state hotter than the embers’’.⁶⁵³

And from himasws as well, in hisasws elegy (Marsiya): ‘From after enshrouding the Prophetsaww and burring himsaww in hissaww clothes, Iasws have to be sorrowful upon yourasws state. We saw Rasool-Allahsaww among us, so we will never see any equal with that what can be revived from the dead, and we were like a fortress from besides being hissaww family, a stronghold for himsaww, a protector protecting from the enemy;

And we were with a person, we saw the light and the guidance, morning and evening flowing among use or feeding, for the darkness has overcome us after hissaww expiry. The day has increased upon the darkness of the night. So what is good of one who presses the wings and the intestines, and what is good of a deceased pressed by the soil and the ground.

سَفِينَةَ مَوْجٍ حِينَ فِي الْبَحْرِ قَدْ سَمَا

كَصَدْعِ الصَّفَا لَا شَعْبَ لِلصَّدْعِ فِي الصَّفَا

It is as if the affairs of the people after you are enclosed in a ship among the waves when it is in the ocean. The sky and the atmosphere of the earth narrowed upon them despites is vastness for losing Rasool-Allahsaww. It is said hesaww went away and the calamity descended with the Muslims, like the rift in Al-Safa, there are not youths for the rift in Al-Safa;

فَلَنْ يَسْتَقِلَّ النَّاسُ تِلْكَ مُصِيبَةً

وَ لَنْ يُجْبَرَ الْعَظْمُ الَّذِي مِنْهُمْ وَهَى‏

وَ فِي كُلِّ وَقْتٍ لِلصَّلَاةِ يُهَيِّجُهُ‏

بِلَالٌ وَ يَدْعُو بِاسْمِهِ كُلَّمَا دَعَا

وَ يَطْلُبُ أَقْوَامٌ مَوَارِيثَ هَالِكٍ‏

وَ فِينَا مَوَارِيثُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ الْهُدَى‏.

The people will never be faced with that calamity (again), and the bones will never be forced which they are from, and during every timing for the Salat, agitating Bilal, and he was called with his name every time he was called, and a people sought the perishing inheritance, and among us are the inheritances of the Prophet-hood and the guidance’’.⁶⁵⁴

11- كا، الكافي عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى الْخَطِيبِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ سَقْفُ الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي يُشْرِفُ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ قَدْ سَقَطَ وَ الْفَعَلَةُ يَصْعَدُونَ وَ يَنْزِلُونَ وَ نَحْنُ جَمَاعَةٌ فَقُلْتُ لِأَصْحَابِنَا مَنْ مِنْكُمْ لَهُ مَوْعِدٌ يَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ‏ ع اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَالَ مِهْرَانُ بْنُ أَبِي نَصْرٍ أَنَا وَ قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ الصَّيْرَفِيُّ أَنَا فَقُلْنَا لَهُمَا سَلَاهُ لَنَا عَنِ الصُّعُودِ لِنُشْرِفَ عَلَى قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ص

Al Kafi – A number of our companions, from Al Barqy, from Ja’far Bin Al Musanna the preacher who said,

‘I was at Al-Medina, and the Masjid which overlooked upon the grave (of Rasool-Allahsaww) was roofed which had fallen down, and the workers were ascending and descending, and we were a group. I said to our companions, ‘Which one of you has an appointment for tonight to see Abu Abdullahasws?’ Mihran Bin Abu Nasr said, ‘I do’. And Ismail Bin Ammar Al-Sayrafi said, ‘I do’. We said to them both: ‘Ask himasws for us about the climbing to overlook upon the grave of the Prophetsaww’.

فَلَمَّا كَانَ مِنَ الْغَدِ لَقِينَاهُمَا فَاجْتَمَعْنَا جَمِيعاً فَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَدْ سَأَلْنَاهُ لَكُمْ عَمَّا ذَكَرْتُمْ فَقَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ يَعْلُوَ فَوْقَهُ وَ لَا آمَنُهُ أَنْ يَرَى شَيْئاً يَذْهَبُ مِنْهُ بَصَرُهُ أَوْ يَرَاهُ قَائِماً يُصَلِّي أَوْ يَرَاهُ مَعَ بَعْضِ أَزْوَاجِهِ ص‏.

When it was the next morning we met them, and we all got together. Ismail said, ‘We did ask himasws for you about what you had mentioned. Heasws said: ‘Iasws do not love for anyone of them that he should be higher above himsaww, nor is it safe from him seeing something which would take away his vision, and he would see himsaww standing praying Salat, or sees himsaww with one of hissaww wives’’.⁶⁶⁵

12- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي ابْنُ حَشِيشٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ كُلَيْبٍ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ قَالَ: حُفِرَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ وَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ أَوَّلَ مَا حُفِرَ فَأُخْرِجَ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ لَمْ يَشُكُّوا فِيهِ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Ibn Hasheesh, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim Bin Zakariyya, from Al Hassan Bin Abdul Wahid, from Yusuf Bin Kuleyb, from Aamir Bin Kasxeer, from Abu Al Jaroud who said,

‘It was dug by the grave of the Prophetsaww, by hissaww head and by hissaww legs. The first time it was dug, yellow musk came out, they did not doubt in it’’.⁶⁶⁶

13- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ لَمَّا كَانَ سَنَةُ إِحْدَى وَ أَرْبَعِينَ أَرَادَ مُعَاوِيَةُ الْحَجَّ فَأَرْسَلَ نَجَّاراً وَ أَرْسَلَ بِالْآلَةِ وَ كَتَبَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ يَقْلَعَ مِنْبَرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَجْعَلُوهُ عَلَى قَدْرِ مِنْبَرِهِ بِالشَّامِ

Al Kafi – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘When it was the year forty one, Muawiya intended the Hajj, so he sent for carpenters and sent the tools, and wrote to the governor of Al-Medina that he uproot the Pulpit of Rasool-Allahsaww and make it to be upon a measurement of his own pulpit at Syria.

فَلَمَّا نَهَضُوا لِيَقْلَعُوهُ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَكَفُّوا وَ كَتَبُوا بِذَلِكَ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَعْزِمُ عَلَيْهِمْ لَمَّا فَعَلُوهُ فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَمِنْبَرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْمَدْخَلُ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ‏.

When they went to uproot it, the sun eclipsed and the earth shook (with tremor). So, they refrained and wrote with that to Muawiya. He wrote to them, being more determined upon them to be doing it. They did that, so the Pulpit of Rasool-Allahazwj is at the entrance which you see’’.⁶⁶⁷
