1- ج، الإحتجاج رُوِيَ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع هَؤُلَاءِ يَرْوُونَ حَدِيثاً فِي مِعْرَاجِهِمْ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص رَأَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – It is reported from Al Qasim Bin Muawiya who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘They (people) are reporting a Hadeeth regarding Mir’raj (Ascension) that when there was an ascension with Rasool-Allahsaww hesaww saw upon the Throne: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Abu Bakr is the truthful”’.

فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ غَيَّرُوا كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى هَذَا قُلْتُ نَعَمْ

Heasws said: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! They have changed every thing, even this!’ I said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمَّا خَلَقَ الْعَرْشَ كَتَبَ عَلَى قَوَائِمِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْمَاءَ كَتَبَ فِي مَجْرَاهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Heasws said: ‘When Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Throne, Wrote upon its foundations: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”, and when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the water, Wrote in its flow: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”;

وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْكُرْسِيَّ كَتَبَ عَلَى قَوَائِمِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اللَّوْحَ كَتَبَ فِيهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Chair, Wrote upon its foundations: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”, and when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the (Guarded) Tablet, Wrote in it: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”,

وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِسْرَافِيلَ كَتَبَ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ كَتَبَ عَلَى جَنَاحِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created Israfeelas, Wrote upon hisas forehead: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”, and when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created Jibraeelas, Wrote upon hisas side: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”,

وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ كَتَبَ فِي أَكْنَافِهَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْأَرَضِينَ كَتَبَ فِي أَطْبَاقِهَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And when Allahazwj Created the skies, he Wrote in its horizons: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”, and when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the earths, Wrote in its layers: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”,

وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْجِبَالَ كَتَبَ فِي رُءُوسِهَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الشَّمْسَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْهَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the mountains, Wrote in its peaks: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”, and when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the sun, Wrote upon it: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”,

وَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْقَمَرَ كَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ هُوَ السَّوَادُ الَّذِي تَرَوْنَهُ فِي الْقَمَرِ

And when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the moon, Wrote upon it: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”, and it is the blackness which you can see in the moon.

فَإِذَا قَالَ أَحَدُكُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَلْيَقُلْ‏ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ‏.

Thus, whenever one of you says: ‘There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww’, then let him (immediately) say, ‘Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws is Guardianasws of Allahazwj’’.¹

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘It is Written upon the door of the Paradise: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww before Allahazwj Created the skies and the earth by two thousand years’’.²

3- لي، الأمالي للصدوق الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنِ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنِ الضَّبِّيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو عَنِ الْكَلْبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي لَا شَرِيكَ لِي وَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدِي وَ رَسُولِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِعَلِيٍّ

‘It is Written upon the Throne: “Iazwj am Allahazwj. There is no god except Iazwj Alone, there is no associate for Meazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Myazwj Rasoolsaww. Iazwj Supported himsaww with Aliasws”.

فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ هُوَ الَّذِي أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِ وَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَكَانَ النَّصْرُ عَلِيّاً ع‏ وَ دَخَلَ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَدَخَلَ فِي الْوَجْهَيْنِ جَمِيعاً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ‏.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed: He is the One Who Assisted you with His Help and with the Momineen [8:62]. So, the help was Aliasws, and heasws is included with the ‘Momineen’. Heasws was included in all the two aspects’’.³ (P.s. - This is actually from Rasool-Allahsaww)

4- لي، الأمالي للصدوق أَبِي عَنِ الْمُؤَدِّبِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنِ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْحَرَّانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَمْرَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ رَأَيْتُ لَيْلَةَ الْإِسْرَاءِ مَكْتُوباً عَلَى قَائِمَةٍ مِنْ قَوَائِمِ الْعَرْشِ أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي خَلَقْتُ جَنَّةَ عَدْنٍ بِيَدِي- مُحَمَّدٌ صَفْوَتِي مِنْ خَلْقِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِعَلِيٍّ وَ نَصَرْتُهُ بِعَلِيٍ.

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww saw on the night of the ascension, Written upon a pillar from the pillars of the Throne: “Iazwj am Allahazwj. There is no god except Isaww Alone. Iazwj Created the Garden of Eden by Myazwj Hands. Muhammadsaww is Myazwj elite from Myazwj creatures. Iazwj Supported himsaww by Aliasws and Helped himsaww by Aliasws”’.⁴

5- ل، الخصال‏ فِي وَصِيَّةِ النَّبِيِّ ص إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ‏ اسْمَكَ مَقْرُوناً بِاسْمِي‏ فِي أَرْبَعَةِ مَوَاطِنَ فَآنَسْتُ بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ إِنِّي لَمَّا بَلَغْتُ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فِي مِعْرَاجِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَجَدْتُ عَلَى صَخْرَتِهِ‏ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَيَّدْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ وَ نَصَرْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ

(The book) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – In a bequest of the Prophetsaww to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘O Aliasws! Isaww saw yourasws name paired with mysaww name in four places, so Isaww was comforted by looking at it. When Isaww reached Bayt Al-Maqdis during mysaww ascension to the sky, Isaww found (written) upon (its) rock: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww. Isaww Supported himsaww by hissaww Vizier, and Helped himsaww by hissaww Vizier”.

فَقُلْتُ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ مَنْ وَزِيرِي فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

Isaww said to Jibraeelas: ‘Who is mysaww Vizier?’ Heas said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

فَلَمَّا انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهَى وَجَدْتُ مَكْتُوباً عَلَيْهَا إِنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَفْوَتِي مِنْ خَلْقِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ وَ نَصَرْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ

When Isaww ended up to Sidrat Al-Muntaha, Isaww found Written upon it: “Iazwj am Allahazwj. There is no god except Isaww, Alone. Muhammadsaww is Myazwj elite from Myazwj creatures. Iazwj Supported himsaww by hissaww Vizier, and Helped himsaww by hissaww Vizier”.

فَقُلْتُ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ مَنْ وَزِيرِي فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

Isaww said to Jibraeelas: ‘Who is mysaww Vizier?’ Heas said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

فَلَمَّا جَاوَزْتُ السِّدْرَةَ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى عَرْشِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ فَوَجَدْتُ مَكْتُوباً عَلَى قَوَائِمِهِ أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي مُحَمَّدٌ حَبِيبِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ وَ نَصَرْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ فَلَمَّا رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي وَجَدْتُ عَلَى بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ مَكْتُوباً أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدِي وَ رَسُولِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ وَ نَصَرْتُهُ بِوَزِيرِهِ‏.

When Isaww surpassed the Sidrat Al-Muntaha to the Throne of Lordazwj of the worlds, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty, Isaww found Written upon its pillar: “Iazwj am Allahazwj. There is no god except Isaww, Alone. Muhammadsaww is Myazwj servant and Myazwj Rasoolsaww. Iazwj Supported himsaww by hissaww Vizier, and Helped himsaww by hissaww Vizier”.⁵

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Al Attar, from Suleyman Bin Ayoub Al Muttaliby, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad al Misry, from Musa Bin Ismail,

‘Son of Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww entered the Paradise and Isaww saw written upon its door, in gold, “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Beloved of Allahazwj, Aliasws is Guardianasws of Allahazwj, (Syeda) Fatimaasws is maid of Allahazwj, Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are elites of Allahazwj. May the Curse of Allahazwj be upon the ones who hate themasws’’.⁶

قَالَ آدَمُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الَّذِينَ إِذَا تَشَفَّعُوا بِهِمْ إِلَيَّ خَلْقِي شَفَّعْتُهُمْ

Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj! Who are theyasws?’ Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Those when Myazwj creatures seek intercession by themasws, Iazwj shall Intercede for them”.

فَقَالَ آدَمُ يَا رَبِّ بِقَدْرِهِمْ‏ عِنْدَكَ مَا اسْمُهُمْ

Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj! By theirasws worth in Yourazwj Presence, what are theirasws names?’

فَقَالَ أَمَّا الْأَوَّلُ فَأَنَا الْمَحْمُودُ وَ هُوَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ الثَّانِي فَأَنَا الْعَالِي وَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ وَ الثَّالِثُ فَأَنَا الْفَاطِرُ وَ هَذِهِ فَاطِمَةُ وَ الرَّابِعُ فَأَنَا الْمُحْسِنُ وَ هَذَا حَسَنٌ‏ وَ الْخَامِسُ فَأَنَا ذُو الْإِحْسَانِ وَ هَذَا الْحُسَيْنُ كُلٌّ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.

Heazwj Said: “As for the first, Iazwj am the most Praised Oneazwj (Al-Mahmoud), and hesaww is the praised one (Muhammadsaww), and the second, Iazwj am the Exalted (A’ali) and this is Aliasws (exalted), and the third, Iazwj the Originator (Al-Fatir), and this is Fatimaasws, and the fourth, Iazwj as the Benevolent (Al-Mohsin) and this is Hassanasws, and the fifth, Iazwj am with the Favours, and this is Al-Husaynasws, all praise Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic!”’⁷

‘From Rasool-Allahsaww having said: ‘When Allahazwj Created Adamas and Blew into himas from Hisazwj Spirit, Adamas turned towards the right of the Throne and there were five resemblances, so heas said: ‘O Lordazwj! Have Youazwj Created anyone from the mortals before meas?’ Heazwj Said: “No!” Heas said: ‘So, who are the ones Ias see their names?’

فَقَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ لَوْلَاهُمْ مَا خَلَقْتُكَ وَ لَا خَلَقْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَا النَّارَ وَ لَا الْعَرْشَ وَ لَا الْكُرْسِيَّ وَ لَا السَّمَاءَ وَ لَا الْأَرْضَ وَ لَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَ لَا الْجِنَّ وَ لَا الْإِنْسَ

Heazwj Said: “Theyasws are five from youras children. Had it not been for themasws Iazwj would have neither Created youas, nor Created the Paradise, nor the Fire, nor the Throne, nor the Chair, nor the sky, nor the earth, nor the Angels, nor the Jinn, nor the human beings.

هَؤُلَاءِ خَمْسَةٌ شَقَقْتُ لَهُمْ اسْماً مِنْ أَسْمَائِي فَأَنَا الْمَحْمُودُ وَ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَ أَنَا الْأَعْلَى وَ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ وَ أَنَا الْفَاطِرُ وَ هَذِهِ فَاطِمَةُ وَ أَنَا ذُو الْإِحْسَانِ وَ هَذَا الْحَسَنُ وَ أَنَا الْمُحْسِنُ وَ هَذَا الْحُسَيْنُ

Theyasws are the five Iazwj Derived a name for themasws from Myazwj Names. Iazwj am the most Praised One (Al-Mahmoud) and this is Muhammadsaww, and Iazwj am the most Exalted (Al-A’ala) and this is Aliasws (exalted), and Iazwj am the Originator (Al-Fatir) and this is Fatimaasws, and Iazwj am with the Favours (Zil-Ahsaan) and this is Al-Hassanasws, and Iazwj am the Benevolent (Al-Mohsin) and this is Al-Husaynasws.

آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِينِي أَحَدٌ وَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ مَحَبَّةِ أَحَدِهِمْ إِلَّا أَدْخَلْتُهُ جَنَّتِي وَ آلَيْتُ بِعِزَّتِي أَنَّهُ لَا يَأْتِينِي أَحَدٌ وَ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنَ بُغْضِ أَحَدِهِمْ إِلَّا أَدْخَلْتُهُ نَارِي

Iazwj have Sword upon Myselfazwj that no one will come to Meazwj and in his heart is a weight of a mustard seed of the love for one of themasws except Iazwj will Enter him into Myazwj Paradise; and Iazwj have Sworn by Myazwj Might that no one will come to Meazwj and in his heart is a weight of a mustard seed of hatred for one of themasws, except Iazwj will Enter him into Myazwj Fire.

And in another report, from Abu Al Salt Al Harwy,

‘From Al-Rezaasws having said: ‘Adamas, when Allahazwj the Exalted Honoured himas by Hisazwj Angels doing Sajdah to himas, and by hisas entering the Paradise, Allahazwj Called out to himas: “Raise youras head, O Adamas and look at the Base of Myazwj Throne!”

فَنَظَرَ فَوَجَدَ عَلَيْهِ مَكْتُوباً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ زَوْجَتُهُ فَاطِمَةُ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

Heas looked and found written upon it: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws, and hisasws wife Fatimaasws is chieftess of the women of the worlds, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are chiefs of the youths of the inhabitants of the Paradise”.

Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj! Who are theyasws?’ The Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘Theyasws are youras offspring. Had it not been for themasws, Iazwj would not have Created youas!”’¹¹

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When Allahazwj Created Adamas, Made himas pause in front of Himazwj. Heas sneezed, so Allahazwj Inspired him that heas praises Himazwj. Heazwj Said: “O Adamas! Are youas praising Meazwj? By Myazwj Mighty and Myazwj Majesty! Had it not been for two servants Iazwj Intend to Create at the end of times, Iazwj would not have Created youas!”

قَالَ آدَمُ يَا رَبِّ بِقَدْرِهِمْ عِنْدَكَ مَا اسْمُهُمْ فَقَالَ تَعَالَى يَا آدَمُ انْظُرْ نَحْوَ الْعَرْشِ فَإِذَا بِسَطْرَيْنِ مِنْ نُورٍ

Adamas said: ‘O Lordazwj! By theirasws worth in Yourazwj Presence! What are theirasws names?’ The Exalted Said: “O Adamas! Look around the Throne!” And there were in two lines of light.

أَوَّلُ السَّطْرِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ نَبِيُّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ عَلِيٌّ مِفْتَاحُ الْجَنَّةِ السَّطْرُ الثَّانِي آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ أَرْحَمَ مَنْ وَالاهُمَا وَ أُعَذِّبَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمَا.

The first line was: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is the Prophetsaww of mercy, and Aliasws is the key to Paradise”. And the second line was: “Iazwj have Sworn upon Myselfazwj that Iazwj shall be Merciful to the one who befriends themasws and Punish the ones who are inimical to themasws”’.¹²

(The book) ‘Basaair Al-Darajaat’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abdul Rahman, from Bukeyr Al Hajry,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The first successoras that happened to be upon the surface of the earth was Hibtullah Bin Adamas, and there is no Prophetas who passed away except and there was a successoras for himas.

كَانَ عَدَدُ جَمِيعِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ نَبِيٍّ وَ أَرْبَعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ نَبِيٍّ خَمْسَةٌ مِنْهُمْ أُولُو الْعَزْمِ نُوحٌ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ مُوسَى وَ عِيسَى وَ مُحَمَّدٌ

The number of the entirety of the Prophetsas was one hundred and twenty-four thousand Prophetsas, five of themas were the Determined Ones (Ul Al Azam) – Noahas, and Ibrahimas, and Musaas and Isaas and Muhammadsaww.

وَ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ كَانَ هِبَةَ اللَّهِ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَرِثَ عِلْمَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ عِلْمَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ‏ أَمَا إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً وَرِثَ عِلْمَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَهُ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

And Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws was the ‘Hibtullah’ for Muhammadsaww, inheriting knowledge of the Prophetsas, and knowledge of the ones who were before himasws. As for Muhammadsaww, hesaww inherited the knowledge of the ones from the Prophetsas and the Messengersas who were before himsaww.

وَ عَلَى قَائِمَةِ الْعَرْشِ مَكْتُوبٌ حَمْزَةُ أَسَدُ اللَّهِ وَ أَسَدُ رَسُولِهِ وَ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ فِي زَوَايَا الْعَرْشِ مَكْتُوبٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ رَبِّنَا وَ كِلْتَا يَدَيْهِ يَمِينٌ‏- عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And upon the pillar of the Throne is written: “Hamzaasws is lion of Allahazwj and lion of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and chief of the martyrs”; and in a corner of the Throne is written on the right of our Lordazwj, and both Hisazwj Hands are right: “Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”.

This is ourasws argument against the one who denier ourasws right, and rejects ourasws inheritances and what weasws were forbidden from the speaking, and in front of us is the conviction, so which argument can happen to be more reaching than this?’’¹³

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth as a giver of glad tidings! Neither did the Chair and the Throne settle, nor the orbiting of the planets, nor did the skies and the earth stand except due to that it was written upon these: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”.

وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَمَّا عَرَجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ اخْتَصَّنِي اللَّطِيفُ بِنِدَائِهِ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ رَبِّي وَ سَعْدَيْكَ

And when Allahazwj the Exalted Ascended mesaww to the sky and the Subtle Selected mesaww with Hisazwj Calling, Heazwj Said: “O Muhammadsaww!” Isaww said: ‘At Yourazwj service, mysaww Lordazwj and Yourazwj assistance!’

قَالَ أَنَا الْمَحْمُودُ وَ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٌ شَقَقْتُ اسْمَكَ مِنْ اسْمِي وَ فَضَّلْتُكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ بَرِيَّتِي فَانْصِبْ أَخَاكَ عَلِيّاً عَلَماً لِعِبَادِي يَهْدِيهِمْ إِلَى دِينِي

يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَمَنْ تَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِ لَعَنْتُهُ وَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ عَذَّبْتُهُ وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ قَرَّبْتُهُ

O Muhammadsaww! Iazwj has Made Aliasws to be Emir of the Momineen, so the one who becomes an emir over himasws, Iazwj shall Curse him, and one who opposes himasws, Iazwj shall Punish him, and one who obeys himasws, Iazwj shall Draw himasws closer.

يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي جَعَلْتُ عَلِيّاً إِمَامَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَمَنْ تَقَدَّمَ عَلَيْهِ أَخْزَيْتُهُ وَ مَنْ عَصَاهُ أَشْجَيْتُهُ‏ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ حُجَّتِي عَلَى الخليفة [الْخَلِيقَةِ] أَجْمَعِينَ‏.

O Muhammadsaww! Iazwj have Made Aliasws as Imamasws of the Muslims, so the one who precedes upon himasws Iazwj shall Disgrace him, and one who disobeys himasws Iazwj shall Subdue him. Aliasws is the chief of the successorsasws, and guide of the resplendent, and Myazwj Divine Authorities upon the entirety of the caliphs”’.¹⁶

(The book) ‘Al Fazaail’ of Ibn Shazan (and) the book ‘Al Rawza’ from the book ‘Al Firdows’, said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When there was an ascension with mesaww to the sky and the Paradise was presented to mesaww, Isaww found written upon the leaves of the Paradise: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Guardianasws of Allahazwj, Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are elites of Allahazwj”’.¹⁷

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Ghumma’ from the (book) ‘Manaqib’ of Al Khawarizmy, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘It is written upon the door of the Paradise: “Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww before Allahazwj Created the skies and the earth by two thousand years”’.¹⁸

And from him, from Aliasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Jibraeelas came to mesaww and heas had spread out hisas wings, and there it was written in these: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is the Prophetsaww”, and it was written upon the other: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Aliasws is the successorasws”’.¹⁹

21 الْمَنَاقِبُ، لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَاذَانَ الْقُمِّيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ‏ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ لِلشَّمْسِ وَجْهَيْنِ‏ فَوَجْهٌ يُضِي‏ءُ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ وَجْهٌ يُضِي‏ءُ لِأَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ عَلَى الْوَجْهَيْنِ مِنْهُمَا كِتَابَةٌ

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shazan Al Qummi, by his chain from Ibn Masoud who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘There are two facets for the sun – a facet illuminating for the inhabitants of the sky, and a facet illuminating for the inhabitants of the earth, and upon the two facets there is a writing’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرُونَ مَا تِلْكَ الْكِتَابَةُ قُلْنَا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ الْكِتَابَةُ الَّتِي تَلِي أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ أَمَّا الْكِتَابَةُ الَّتِي تَلِي أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ عَلِيٌّ نُورُ الْأَرَضِينَ‏.

Then hesaww said: ‘Do you know what that writing is?’ We said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww are more knowing’. Hesaww said: ‘The writing which is towards the inhabitants of the sky is: “Allahazwj is Light (Noor) of the skies and the earth”, and as for the writing which is towards the inhabitants of the earth: “Aliasws is light (noor) of the earths”’.²¹

22- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ لَمَّا خَلَقَ آدَمَ وَ نَفَخَ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِهِ عَطَسَ آدَمُ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ

And by his chain from Ibn Masoud who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When Heazwj Created Adamas and Blew into himas from Hisazwj Spirit, Adamas sneezed, so heas said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj’.

فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ حَمِدْتَنِي عَبْدِي وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي لَوْ لَا عَبْدَانِ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْلُقَهُمَا فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا مَا خَلَقْتُكَ قَالَ إِلَهِي فَيَكُونَانِ مِنِّي قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا آدَمُ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ انْظُرْ

Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed to himas: “Myazwj servant praises Meazwj. By Myazwj Mighty and Myazwj Majesty! Had it not been for two bodies Iazwj Intend to Create in the house of the world, Iazwj would not have Created youas”. Heas said: ‘Myas Godazwj! So, theyasws would both happen to be from meas’. Heazwj Said: “Yes, O Adamas, raised youras head and look!”

فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَإِذَا مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ نَبِيُّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ عَلِيٌّ مُقِيمُ الْحُجَّةِ مَنْ عَرَفَ حَقَّ عَلِيٍّ زَكَى وَ طَابَ وَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَ حَقَّهُ لُعِنَ وَ خَابَ أَقْسَمْتُ بِعِزَّتِي أَنْ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ أَطَاعَهُ وَ إِنْ عَصَانِي وَ أَقْسَمْتُ بِعِزَّتِي أَنْ أُدْخِلَ النَّارَ مَنْ عَصَاهُ وَ إِنْ أَطَاعَنِي‏.

Heas raised hisas head and there was written upon the Throne: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Prophetsaww of mercy, and Aliasws is the custodian, the Divine Authority. One who recognises the right of Aliasws is pure and good, and one who denies hisasws right is Cursed and incur loss. Iazwj Swear by Myazwj Mighty that Isaww shall enter into the Paradise one who obeys himasws and even if he disobeys Meazwj, and Iazwj Swear by Myazwj Mighty that Iazwj shall enter into the Fire one who disobeys himasws and even if obeys Meazwj!”’²²

23- وَ رَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُحْتَضَرِ مَا رَوَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمَنَاقِبِ لِابْنِ الْبِطْرِيقِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ‏ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدِي وَ رَسُولِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ الْعَزِيزِ هُوَ الَّذِي أَيَّدَكَ بِنَصْرِهِ وَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ.

And it is reported by Al Hassan Bin Suleyman in the book ‘Al Mukhtasar’, what is reported from the book ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Al Batreeq, by his chain from Abu Hureyra (well-known) fabricator,

‘From Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘It is written upon the Throne: “There is no god except Allahazwj Alone, there is no associate for Himazwj, Muhammadsaww is Myazwj servant and Myazwj Rasoolsaww. Iazwj Supported himsaww by Ali Bin Abu Talibasws”, and that is the Word of the Exalted in Hisazwj Mighty Book: He is the One Who Assisted you with His Help and with the Momineen [8:62] – by Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’’.²³

24- وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمُقْنِعِ فِي الْإِمَامَةِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أُمِرَ بِعَرْضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ عَلَيَّ فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا جَمِيعاً رَأَيْتُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ أَلْوَانَ نَعِيمِهَا وَ رَأَيْتُ النَّارَ وَ أَلْوَانَ عَذَابِهَا وَ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ.

And from the book ‘Al Muqnie Fi Al Imamah’ – From Jabir Al Ansari who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘On the night there was an ascension with mesaww to the sky, Heazwj Commanded with the Paradise and the Fire be presented to mesaww. Isaww saw them both. Isaww saw the Paradise and the variety of its bounties, and Isaww saw the Fire and the variety of its torments, and upon each door from the eight doors of Paradise was: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Guardianasws of Allahazwj”’.²⁴

And from Tafseer of Muhammad Bin Al Abbas Bin Marwan, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Amro, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman, from Ismail Bin Ibrahim, from Amro Bin Fazl Al Basry, from Abbad Bin Muhammad,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘There descended unto the Prophetsaww, and Angel having twenty thousand heads for him. The Prophetsaww leapt to kiss his hand. The Angel said to himsaww: ‘Stop, no! Stop no, O Muhammadsaww, for yousaww are more honourable than the inhabitants of the skies and the earth in their entirety’. Derogatory

وَ الْمَلَكُ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَحْمُودٌ فَإِذَا بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص مُنْذُ كَمْ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ مَكْتُوبٌ بَيْنَ مَنْكِبَيْكَ قَالَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ أَبَاكَ آدَمَ بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ‏.

And the Angel was called ‘Mahmoud’, and there was written between his shoulders: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is the greatest truthful”. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Since how long has this writing been written between your shoulders?’ He said, ‘From before Allahazwj Created yoursaww fatheras Adamas by twelve thousand years’’.²⁵

And from the book ‘Al Mi’raaj’ compiled by the righteous sheykh Abu Muhammad Al Hassan, by his chain from Al Sadouq, raising it from Abu Al Hamra’a who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When there was an ascension with mesaww to the sky, Isaww entered the Paradise, there was affirmed upon the right Base of the Throne: “Iazwj are Allahazwj, there is no god except Isaww Alone. Iazwj Planted the Garden of Eden by Myazwj Hands. Iazwj shall Settle in it Myazwj Angels, Muhammadsaww is Myazwj elite from Myazwj creatures. Iazwj Supported himsaww with Aliasws!”²⁶

And from him, from Al Sadouq, from Majaylawiya, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Al Ash’ary, from Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Fazzal, from Marwan Bin Muslim,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘It is Written in the Handwriting of the Majestic around the Throne: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”’.²⁷

And from him, from Al Sadouq, from Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Jabir Al Ansari who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘What is the matter with people blaming mesaww regarding mysaww love for mysaww brother Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws? By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth as a Prophetsaww! Isaww did not love himasws until mysaww Lordazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty Commanded mesaww to love himasws!”

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَلُومُونَنِي فِي تَقْدِيمِي لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَوَ عِزَّةِ رَبِّي مَا قَدَّمْتُهُ حَتَّى أَمَرَنِي عَزَّ اسْمُهُ بِتَقْدِيمِهِ وَ جَعَلَهُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَمِيرَ أُمَّتِي وَ إِمَامَهَا

Then hesaww said: ‘What is the matter with people blaming mesaww regarding mysaww advancing Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws? By the right of mysaww Lordazwj! Iazwj did not advance himasws until Mighty is Hisazwj Name Commanded mesaww to advance himasws and Made himasws Emir of the Momineen, and Emir of mysaww community and its Imamasws.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كُلِّ بَابِ سَمَاءٍ مَكْتُوباً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O you people! When there was an ascension with mesaww to the seventh sky, Isaww found written upon every door of the sky: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”.

وَ لَمَّا صِرْتُ إِلَى حُجُبِ النُّورِ رَأَيْتُ عَلَى كُلِّ حِجَابٍ مَكْتُوباً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

And when Isaww came to be to the Veil of Light, Isaww saw written upon the Veil: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”.

وَ لَمَّا صِرْتُ إِلَى الْعَرْشِ وَجَدْتُ عَلَى كُلِّ رُكْنٍ مِنْ أَرْكَانِهِ مَكْتُوباً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

And when Isaww came to the Throne, Isaww found written upon every corner from its corners: “There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws”’.²⁸

1- ل، الخصال أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ سُهَيْلِ بْنِ غَزْوَانَ الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنَ الْجِنِّ كَانَ يُقَالُ لَهَا عَفْرَاءُ وَ كَانَتْ تَنْتَابُ‏ النَّبِيَّ ص فَتَسْمَعُ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ فَتَأْتِي صَالِحِي الْجِنِّ فَيُسْلِمُونَ عَلَى يَدَيْهَا وَ إِنَّهَا فَقَدَهَا النَّبِيُّ ص فَسَأَلَ عَنْهَا جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهَا زَارَتْ أُخْتاً لَهَا تُحِبُّهَا فِي اللَّهِ

(The book) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Muhammad Bin Rashid, from Umar Bin Sahl, from Suheyl Bin Gazwan Al Basry who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There was a woman from the Jinn called Afra’a used to frequently come to the Prophetsaww, and listen to hissaww speech. She went to the righteous Jinn and they became Muslims upon her hands, and she was missed by the Prophetsaww, so hesaww asked Jibraeelas about her. Heas said: ‘She is visiting a sister of hers, loving her for the sake of Allahazwj’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص طُوبَى لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِي اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ عَمُوداً مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ قَصْرٍ فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ غُرْفَةٍ خَلَقَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ وَ الْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘Beatitude for the ones loving for the Sake of Allahazwj. Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Created pillars of red ruby in the Paradise, upon it are seventy thousand castles, in every castle are seventy thousand rooms. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Created these for the ones loving and visiting for the Sake of Allahazwj’.

يَا عَفْرَاءُ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ رَأَيْتِ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ عَجَائِبَ كَثِيرَةً قَالَ فَأَعْجَبُ مَا رَأَيْتِ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ إِبْلِيسَ فِي الْبَحْرِ الْأَخْضَرِ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ بَيْضَاءَ مَادّاً يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ إِلَهِي إِذَا بَرَرْتَ‏ قَسَمَكَ وَ أَدْخَلْتَنِي نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ إِلَّا خَلَّصْتَنِي مِنْهَا وَ حَشَرْتَنِي مَعَهُمْ

(Then hesaww said): ‘O Afra’a! Which thing did you see?’ She said, ‘I saw a lot of wonders’. Hesaww said: ‘So what is the most wondrous of what you saw?’ ‘She said, ‘I saw Ibleesla in the green sea upon a white rock extending hisla hand towards the sky and hela was saying, ‘O myla Godazwj! When Youazwj Justify Yourazwj Apportionment and Enter mela into the Fire of Hell, so Ila ask Youazwj by the right of Muhammadsaww, and Aliasws, and Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, only finish mela off from it and Resurrect mela with themasws’.

فَقُلْتُ يَا حَارِثُ مَا هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءُ الَّتِي تَدْعُو بِهَا قَالَ لِي رَأَيْتُهَا عَلَى سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ بِسَبْعَةِ آلَافِ سَنَةٍ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُمْ أَكْرَمُ الْخَلْقِ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَنَا أَسْأَلُهُ بِحَقِّهِمْ

She said, ‘O Harisla! What are these names which youla are supplicating with?’ Hela said to me, ‘Ila saw these upon the Base of the Throne from before Allahazwj Created Adamas by seven thousand years, so Ila knew that theyasws are the most prestigious of the creatures to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, so Ila asked Himazwj by theirasws rights’.

‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ أَهْلُ الْأَرْضِ بِهَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ لَأَجَابَهُمْ‏.

The Prophetsaww said: ‘By Allahazwj! If the people of the earth were to swear by these names, they would be Answered’’.²⁹

2- فس، تفسير القمي‏ وَ الْجَانَّ خَلَقْناهُ مِنْ قَبْلُ مِنْ نارِ السَّمُومِ‏ قَالَ أَبُو إِبْلِيسَ وَ قَالَ الْجِنُّ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْجَانِّ مِنْهُمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ وَ كَافِرُونَ وَ يَهُودُ وَ نَصَارَى وَ يَخْتَلِفُ أَدْيَانُهُمْ وَ الشَّيَاطِينُ مِنْ وُلْدِ إِبْلِيسَ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ إِلَّا وَاحِدٌ اسْمُهُ هَامُ بْنُ هِيمِ بْنِ لَاقِيسَ بْنِ إِبْلِيسَ جَاءَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

Tafseer Al-Qummi - And the Jaan, We Created him from before, from the toxic fire [15:27]. He said, ‘Abu Ibleesla and the Jinn from the children of the Jaan, from them were Momins and Kafirs, and Jews, and Christians, and of various religions, and the Satanla from the sons of Ibleesla, there was no Momin among them except one, his name was Ham Bin Heem Bin Al-Aqees Bin Ibleesla came to Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَرَآهُ جَسِيماً عَظِيماً وَ امْرَأً مَهُولًا فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا هَامُ بْنُ هِيمِ بْنِ لَاقِيسَ بْنِ إِبْلِيسَ كُنْتُ يَوْمَ قَتَلَ قَابِيلُ هَابِيلَ غُلَاماً ابْنَ أَعْوَامٍ أَنْهَى عَنِ الِاعْتِصَامِ وَ آمُرُ بِإِفْسَادِ الطَّعَامِ

Hesaww saw him of a large body and an awesome matter. Hesaww said to him: ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am Ham Bin Heem Bin Al-Aqees Bin Ibleesla. On the day Qabeella killed Habeel I was a boy of a few years, preventing (people) from seeking Refuge and instructed with spoiling the food’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِئْسَ لَعَمْرِي الشَّابُّ الْمُؤَمَّلُ وَ الْكَهْلُ الْمُؤَمَّرُ فَقَالَ دَعْ عَنْكَ هَذَا يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَقَدْ جَرَتْ تَوْبَتِي عَلَى يَدِ نُوحٍ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ فَعَاتَبْتُهُ‏ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَيْثُ أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ فَجَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى حِينَ غَرَّقَ اللَّهُ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ نَجَّي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Evil is the affair of the youth of long hopes and the old man of procrastination’. He said, ‘Leave this from yousaww, O Muhammadsaww, for my repentance had flowed upon the hand of Noahas, and I was with himas in the ship and faulted himas upon hisas supplicating against hisas people, and I was with Ibrahimas when heas was thrown into the fire and Allahazwj Made it to be cool and safe unto himas, and I was with Musaas when Allahazwj Drowned Pharaohla and Recued the children of Israel;

وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَ هُودٍ حِينَ دَعَا عَلَى قَوْمِهِ فَعَاتَبْتُهُ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَ صَالِحٍ فَعَاتَبْتُهُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ وَ لَقَدْ قَرَأْتُ الْكُتُبَ فَكُلُّهَا تُبَشِّرُنِي بِكَ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ يُقْرِءُونَكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ أَفْضَلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أَكْرَمُهُمْ فَعَلِّمْنِي مِمَّا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ شَيْئاً

And I was with Hudas when heas supplicated against hisas nation and I faulted himas, and I was with Salihas and faulted himas upon hisas supplicating against hisas people, and I have read the Books, all of them giving glad tidings of yousaww, and the Prophetsas conveyed the greetings to yousaww and said yousaww are the most superior of the Prophetsas and theiras most honourable one, so teach me something from what Allahazwj Revealed unto yousaww’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَلِّمْهُ فَقَالَ هَامٌ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّا لَا نُطِيعُ إِلَّا نَبِيّاً أَوْ وَصِيَّ نَبِيٍّ فَمَنْ هَذَا قَالَ هَذَا أَخِي وَ وَصِيِّي وَ وَزِيرِي وَ وَارِثِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘Teach him’. Ham said, ‘O Muhammadsaww! We do not obey except a Prophetas or a successoras of a Prophetas, so who is this?’ Hesaww said: ‘This is mysaww brotherasws, and mysaww successoras, and mysaww Vizier, and mysaww inheritor Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

قَالَ نَعَمْ نَجِدُ اسْمَهُ فِي الْكُتُبِ إِلْيَا فَعَلَّمَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ الْهَرِيرِ بِصِفِّينَ جَاءَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏.

He said, ‘Yes, we do find hisasws name in the Books as being ‘Elia’’. So Amir Al-Momineenasws taught him. When it was the night of ‘Al-Hareer’ (severest night) in the (battle of) Siffeen, he came to Amir Al Momineenasws’’.³⁰

(The book) ‘Basaair Al-Darajaat’ – Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Umar Bin Yazeed,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘While Rasool-Allahsaww was seated when a tall man came to himsaww as if he was a palm tree. He greeted to himsaww, and hesaww returned the greeting and said: ‘You resemble the Jinn and their speech, so who are you O servant of Allahazwj?’ He said, ‘I am Al-Ham Bin Al-Heem Bin Al-Aqeys Bin Ibleesla’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ إِبْلِيسَ إِلَّا أَبَوَيْنِ‏ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَكَمْ أَتَى لَكَ قَالَ أَكَلْتُ عُمُرَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا أَقَلَّهُ أَنَا أَيَّامَ قَتَلَ قَابِيلُ هَابِيلَ غُلَامٌ أَفْهَمُ الْكَلَامَ وَ أَنْهَى عَنِ الِاعْتِصَامِ وَ أَطُوفُ‏ الْآجَامَ وَ آمُرُ بِقَطِيعَةِ الْأَرْحَامِ وَ أُفْسِدُ الطَّعَامَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘There is nothing between you and Ibleesla except two fathers (generations)’. He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww. Hesaww said: ‘So how many (years) have come to you?’ He said: ‘I have consumer the life of the world except its little. One day Qabeella killed Habeelas I was a boy understanding the speech, and preventing (people) from seeking Refuge, and prowling the trees, and instructed with cutting off the relationships, and spoiling the food’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِئْسَ سِيرَةُ الشَّيْخِ الْمُتَأَمِّلِ وَ الْغُلَامِ الْمُقْبِلِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي تَائِبٌ قَالَ عَلَى يَدِ مَنْ جَرَى‏ تَوْبَتُكَ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَالَ عَلَى يَدَيْ نُوحٍ وَ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ فِي سَفِينَتِهِ وَ عَاتَبْتُهُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ حَتَّى بَكَى وَ أَبْكَانِي

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘Evil are the way of the old man of long hopes and the. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have repented’. Hesaww said: ‘Upon the hand of whom from the Prophetsas did your repentance flow?’ He said, ‘Upon the hand of Noahas, and I was with himas in hisas ship, and I faulted himas upon hisas supplicating against hisas people until heas cried and made me cry’.

وَ قَالَ لَا جَرَمَ أَنِّي عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّادِمِينَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجاهِلِينَ‏ ثُمَّ كُنْتُ مَعَ هُودٍ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ مَعَ الَّذِينَ‏ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ فَعَاتَبْتُهُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ حَتَّى بَكَى وَ أَبْكَانِي

And he said, ‘There is no doubt I am from the regretful ones upon that and ‘I seek Refuge with Allah from becoming one of the ignorant ones’. [2:67]. Then I was with Hudas in hisas Masjid along with those who believed with himas. I faulted himas upon hisas supplicating against hisas people until heas cried and made me cry’.

وَ قَالَ لَا جَرَمَ أَنِّي عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ النَّادِمِينَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجاهِلِينَ‏ ثُمَّ كُنْتُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حِينَ كَادَهُ قَوْمُهُ فَأَلْقَوْهُ فِي النَّارِ فَجَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً

And he said, ‘There is no doubt I am from the regretful ones upon that and ‘I seek Refuge with Allah from becoming one of the ignorant ones’. [2:67]. Then I was with Ibrahimas when hisas people almost threw himas into the fire, and Allahazwj Made it to be cool and safe unto himas.

ثُمَّ كُنْتُ مَعَ يُوسُفَ حِينَ حَسَدَهُ إِخْوَتُهُ فَأَلْقَوْهُ فِي الْجُبِّ فَبَادَرْتُهُ إِلَى قَعْرِ الْجُبِّ فَوَضَعْتُهُ وَضْعاً رَفِيقاً ثُمَّ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ فِي السِّجْنِ أُؤْنِسُهُ فِيهِ حَتَّى أَخْرَجَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ

Then I was with Yusufas when hisas brothers envied himas and threw himas into the well. I took himas to the bottom of the well and placed himas with a gently placing. Then I was with himas in the prison comforting himas therein, until Allahazwj Extracted himas from it.

ثُمَّ كُنْتُ مَعَ مُوسَى ع وَ عَلَّمَنِي سِفْراً مِنَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ قَالَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَ عِيسَى فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ فَلَقِيتُهُ وَ أَقْرَأْتُهُ مِنْ مُوسَى السَّلَامَ وَ عَلَّمَنِي سِفْراً مِنَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ قَالَ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتَ مُحَمَّداً ص فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ- فَعِيسَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ

Then I was with Musaas and heas taught me clarification from the Torah and said: ‘When you meet Isaas, then convey the greetings to himas from meas’. I did meet himas and conveyed the greetings to himas from Musaas, and heas taught me clarification from the Evangel, and heas said: ‘If you come across Muhammadsaww, then convey the greetings to himsaww from meas. So, Isaas, O Muhammadsaww, conveys the greetings unto yousaww’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ عَلَى عِيسَى رُوحِ اللَّهِ وَ كَلِمَتِهِ وَ جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ مَا دَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ السَّلَامُ وَ عَلَيْكَ يَا هَامُ بِمَا بَلَّغْتَ السَّلَامَ فَارْفَعْ إِلَيْنَا حَوَائِجَكَ

The Prophetsaww said: ‘And upon Isaasws Spirit of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Word, and the entirety of the Prophetsas of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsas, for as long as the skies and the earth remain, the greetings be upon you O Ham, due to what you delivered, be the greetings, so raise your need to ussaww’.

قَالَ حَاجَتِي أَنْ يُبْقِيكَ اللَّهُ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَ يُصْلِحَهُمْ لَكَ وَ يَرْزُقَهُمُ الِاسْتِقَامَةَ لِوَصِيِّكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَإِنَّ الْأُمَمَ السَّالِفَةَ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَتْ بِعِصْيَانِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ حَاجَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِي سُوَراً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ أُصَلِّي بِهَا

He said, ‘My need is that may Allahazwj Make yousaww remain for yoursaww community and correct them for yousaww, and Grace them the steadfasted-ness for yoursaww successorasws from after yousaww, for the previous communities were rather destroyed due to their disobeying the successorsas, and my need, O Rasool-Allahsaww, is that yousaww teach me a chapter from the Quran I can pray Salat with it’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِيٍّ ع يَا عَلِيُّ عَلِّمِ الْهَامَ وَ ارْفُقْ بِهِ فَقَالَ هَامٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي ضَمَمْتَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ الْجِنِّ قَدْ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ لَا نُكَلِّمَ إِلَّا نَبِيّاً أَوْ وَصِيَّ نَبِيٍّ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! Teach Al-Ham and be kind with him’. Ham said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Who is this whom yousaww are giving my responsibility to himasws, for we the community of Jinn have been Commanded that we do not speak except to a Prophetas or a successoras of a Prophetsaww’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا هَامُ مَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ وَصِيَّ آدَمَ قَالَ شَيْثَ بْنَ آدَمَ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ نُوحٍ قَالَ سَامَ بْنَ نُوحٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ كَانَ وَصِيَّ هُودٍ قَالَ يُوحَنَّا بْنُ حزان [حنان‏] ابْنُ عَمِّ هُودٍ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘O Ham! Whom did you find to be in the Book as being the successoras of Adamas?’ He said, ‘Shees Bin Adamas’. Whom did you find to be as successoras of Noahas?’ Hesaww said: ‘Sam Bin Noahas’. Hesaww said: ‘Who was the successoras of Hudas?’ He said, ‘Youhanna Bin Hananas, son of an uncle of Hudas’.

قَالَ فَمَنْ كَانَ وَصِيَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ فَمَنْ كَانَ وَصِيَّ مُوسَى- قَالَ يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ كَانَ وَصِيَّ عِيسَى قَالَ شَمْعُونُ بْنُ حَمُّونَ الصَّفَا ابْنُ عَمِّ مَرْيَمَ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ هُوَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ إِلْيَا

Hesaww said: ‘Who was the successoras of Ibrahimas?’ He said, ‘Is’haq Bin Ibrahimas’. Who was the successoras of Musaas’. He said, ‘Yoshua Bin Nounas’. Hesaww said: ‘Who was the successoras of Isaas?’ He said, ‘Shamoun Bin Hamoun Al-Saffaas’. So, whom do you found in the Book as being the successorasws of Muhammadsaww?’ He said, ‘Heasws is in the Torah as ‘Elia’’.

قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَذَا إِلْيَا هُوَ عَلِيٌّ وَصِيِّي قَالَ الْهَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَلَهُ اسْمٌ غَيْرُ هَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ هُوَ حَيْدَرَةُ فَلِمَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّهُ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ هَيْدَارَا قَالَ هُوَ حَيْدَرَةُ قَالَ فَعَلَّمَهُ عَلِيٌّ سُوَراً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ

Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘This is Elia, heasws is Aliasws, mysaww successorasws’. Al-Ham said ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! For himasws is there a name other than this?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, it is ‘Hyder’. Why did you ask mesaww about that?’ He said, ‘We found in the Book of the Prophetsas that heasws is in the Evangel as ‘Haydera’’. Hesaww said: ‘It is Hyder’. Aliasws taught him a chapter from the Quran.

فَقَالَ هَامٌ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ أَكْتَفِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا هَامُ قَلِيلُ الْقُرْآنِ كَثِيرٌ- ثُمَّ قَامَ هَامٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَوَدَّعَهُ فَلَمْ يَعُدْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص حَتَّى قُبِضَ ع‏.

Ham said, ‘O Aliasws! O successorasws of Muhammadsaww! Is it sufficient for me what youasws have taught me from the Quran?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Ham. A little from the Quran is a lot’. Then Ham stood up to the Prophetas and bade himsaww farewell and did not return to the Prophetsaww until hesaww passed away’’.³¹

‘Abu Ja’farasws sent me regarding some needs of hisasws at Al-Medina. While I was in a mountain pass of Al-Rawha upon my riding animal when a gestured towards me with his cloth. I inclined towards him and thought he might be thirsty, and I gave him the cure (water). He said, ‘There is no need for me with it’.

ثُمَّ نَاوَلَنِي كِتَاباً طِينُهُ رَطْبٌ قَالَ فَلَمَّا نَظَرْتُ إِلَى خَتْمِهِ إِذَا هُوَ خَاتَمُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَتَى عَهْدُكَ بِصَاحِبِ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ السَّاعَةَ قَالَ فَإِذَا فِيهِ أَشْيَاءُ يَأْمُرُنِي بِهَا

Then he gave me a letter, its texture was wet (ink). When I looked at its seal, it was a seal of Abu Ja’farasws. I said to him, ‘When did the owner of the letter pact to you?’ He said, ‘Just now’. There were things in it instructing me with it’.

Then he (the narrator said), ‘I turned around and there wasn’t anyone with me. So, I proceeded to Abu Ja’farasws and met him. I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! A man came to me with yourasws letter and its texture was wet’ (ink). When there is haste for usasws with a matter, Iasws send one of them’ - meaning the Jinn’.

‘Some wealth from Khurasan was carried over to Abu Abdullahasws along with two men from hisasws companions. They did not cease to miss any wealth until they passed by Al-Rayy. A man from their companions had given them a bag wherein were a thousand Dirhams, and they went on to miss the bag during every day until they were near from Al-Medina.

فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ تَعَالَ حَتَّى نَنْظُرَ مَا حَالُ الْمَالِ فَنَظَرَا فَإِذَا الْمَالُ عَلَى حَالِهِ مَا خَلَا كِيسَ الرَّازِيِّ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ مَا نَقُولُ السَّاعَةَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّهُ ع كَرِيمٌ وَ أَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ عِلْمُ مَا نَقُولُ عِنْدَهُ

One of them said to his companions, ‘Come until we look at what is the state of the wealth’. They looked and the wealth was upon its state except for the bag of Al-Razy. One of them said to him companion, ‘Allahazwj is the Supporter! What shall we say now to Abu Abdullahasws?’ One of them said, ‘Heasws is benevolent, and I hope that heasws would have the knowledge of what we would be saying in hisasws presence’.

When they entered Al-Medina, they aimed to himasws, and submitted the wealth to himasws. Heasws said to them: ‘Where is the bag of Al-Razy?’ They informed himasws the story. Heasws said to them: ‘If you were to see the bag, will you recognise it?’ They said, ‘Yes’.

‘I went out and I intended Abu Al-Hassanasws at Al-Urayz, so I went until I overlooked upon a castle of the clan of Surah. Then I went down the valley and I heard a voice and did not see its person, and he was saying, ‘O Abu Ja’far! Your Masterasws is behind the castle by the lote tree, so convey to himasws the greetings from me’.

I turned around but did not see anyone. Then the voice repeated unto me the words which he had. Then that was done with me thrice, and the hair on my skin stood on its ends. Then I rolled down into the valley until I came to the middle of the road which was behind the castle, and did not go to the palace. Then I came to a dam near Al-Samurat.

ثُمَّ انْطَلَقْتُ قَصْدَ الْغَدِيرِ فَوَجَدْتُ خَمْسِينَ حَيَّاتٍ رَوَافِعَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْغَدِيرِ ثُمَّ اسْتَمَعْتُ فَسَمِعْتُ كَلَاماً وَ مُرَاجَعَةً فَصَفَقْتُ بِنَعْلَيَّ لِيُسْمَعَ وَطْئِي فَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ يَتَنَحْنَحُ فَتَنَحْنَحْتُ وَ أَجَبْتُهُ ثُمَّ نَظَرْتُ وَ هَجَمْتُ فَإِذَا حَيَّةٌ مُتَعَلِّقَةٌ بِسَاقِ شَجَرَةٍ

Then I went aiming for the well and found fifty snakes slithering around the well. Then I listened and heard speech and responses.

Iasws will punish him and seize his wealth, if there was any for him, until he repents’.

When we had prayed the first Salat and departed and evened out in the carriages when a man of tall stature thick skin (came) and with him was a letter of wet texture (ink) from Muhammadasws Bin Ali Al-Baqirasws to Jabir Bin Al-Yazeed Al-Jufy. He gave it to Jabir and he took it and kissed it, then said, ‘When did my Masterasws pact you, before the Salat or after the Salat?’ He said, ‘After the Salat, just now’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘He opened the letter and went on to recite it and his face frowned, and he neither laughed nor smiled until we arrive at Al-Kufa at night. When it was morning, I went to him, as respect for him and found him to have come out to me and there was a flask he had hung and riding a mule and he was saying, ‘Mansour Bin Jamhour is Emir, uncommanded’, and approximate to this speech, and went on to circle in the alleyways of Al-Kufa, and the people were saying, ‘Jabir is insane! Jabir is insane!’

When it was after three days, a letter of hisham Bin Abdul Malik came upon (the hands of) Yusuf Bin Usman, ‘Look for a man called Jabir Bin Yazeed from (town of) Ju’f and strike off his neck and send his head to me’. When he read the letter, he turned around to his gatherers and said, ‘Who is Jabir Bin Yazeed, for the order of the commander of the faithful has come to me with striking off his neck and send his head to him’.

They said, ‘May Allahazwj keep the Emir well! This man is an Allamah (learned scholar), master of the Ahadeeth, and devoutness, and ascetism, and he has become insane and is mixed upon in his knowledge, and there he is in Al-Rahba playing with the children’.

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! I would love it if youasws could inform me the Magnificent name of Allahazwj the Exalted’. Heasws said to me: ‘You will never be (sufficiently) strong upon that’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَلْحَحْتُ قَالَ فَمَكَانَكَ إِذاً ثُمَّ قَامَ فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ هُنَيْهَةً ثُمَّ صَاحَ بِي ادْخُلْ فَدَخَلْتُ فَقَالَ لِي مَا ذَلِكَ فَقُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي بِهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ يَدُورُ بِي وَ أَخَذَنِي أَمْرٌ عَظِيمٌ كِدْتُ أَهْلِكُ فَضَحِكَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ حَسْبِي لَا أُرِيدُ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘When I insisted, heasws said: ‘(Stay) in your place!’ Then heasws stood up and entered the room, then shouted for me to enter, so I entered. Heasws said to me: ‘What is that (you want)?’ I said, ‘Inform me with it, may I be sacrificed for youasws!’ Heasws placed hisasws hand upon the ground, and I looked at the room revolving with me and a mighty matter entered into me and I almost died. Heasws laughed, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! It suffices me, I do not want (it)’’.⁵³

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisaas’ – Muhammad Bin Ali, from his father, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Aban Ahmar who said,

‘Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘O Aban! How can the people deny the words of Amir Al-Momineenasws when heasws said: ‘If Iasws so desire, Iasws can raise this leg of mineasws and hit the chest of the son of Abu Sufyan with it in Syria and overturn him from his throne’, and they are not denying attaining by Aasifas, successoras of Suleymanas, the throne of Bilquis and coming to Suleymanas with it, before heas could blink an eye.

Isn’t our Prophetsaww the most superior of the Prophetsas, and hissaww successorasws the most superior of the succesorsasws? Why are they not even making himasws to be like the successoras of Suleymanas? Allahazwj will Judge between usasws and the one who rejects ourasws rights and denies ourasws merits’’.⁵⁴

Kitab ‘Al Mukhtasar’ of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman, copying from the book of Al Seyyid Hassan Bin Kabsh, by his chain from Al Mufeed, raising it to,

‘Salman Al-Farsira said, ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Salmanra! The woe of all woes is for one who does not recognise usasws as is the right of ourasws recognition, and denies ourasws merits.

يَا سَلْمَانُ أَيُّمَا أَفْضَلُ مُحَمَّدٌ ص أَمْ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ بَلْ مُحَمَّدٌ ص قَالَ يَا سَلْمَانُ فَهَذَا آصَفُ بْنُ بَرْخِيَا قَدَرَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ عَرْشَ بِلْقِيسَ مِنْ فَارِسَ فِي طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ وَ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَ لَا أَفْعَلُ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ وَ عِنْدِي عِلْمُ أَلْفِ كِتَابٍ

O Salmanra! But rather, is Muhammadsaww superior or Suleyman Bin Dawoodas?’ Salmanra said, ‘But, Muhammadsaww is’. So, this Aasif Bin Barkhiyaas was able to carry the throne of Bilquis from Persia in the blink of an eye, and with himas was knowledge from the Book, and Iasws cannot do a multiple of that, and with measws is knowledge of a thousand Books?

أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى شَيْثِ بْنِ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ خَمْسِينَ صَحِيفَةً وَ عَلَى إِدْرِيسَ النَّبِيِّ ص ثَلَاثِينَ صَحِيفَةً وَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْخَلِيلِ ع عِشْرِينَ صَحِيفَةً وَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ الْفُرْقَانِ

Allahazwj Revealed fifty Parchments upon Sheesas Bin Adamas, and thirty Parchments upon the Prophetas Idreesas, and twenty Parchments upon Ibrahimas the Friend (of the Beneficent), and the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqan’.

فَقُلْتُ صَدَقْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي فَقَالَ ع اعْلَمْ يَا سَلْمَانُ أَنَّ الشَّاكَّ فِي أَمْرِنَا وَ عُلُومِنَا كَالْمُمْتَرِي‏ فِي مَعْرِفَتِنَا وَ حُقُوقِنَا وَ قَدْ فَرَضَ وَلَايَتَنَا فِي كِتَابِهِ فِي غَيْرِ مَوْضِعٍ وَ بَيَّنَ فِيهِ مَا وَجَبَ الْعَمَلُ بِهِ وَ هُوَ غَيْرُ مَكْشُوفٍ‏.

Ira said, ‘Youasws speak the truth, O my Masterasws!’ Heasws said: ‘Know, O Salmanra, that the doubter in ourasws matter and ourasws knowledge is like the one suspicious regarding ourasws recognition and ourasws rights, and ourasws Wilayah has been Obligated in Hisazwj Book in another place, and Explained in it what Obligates (the one who) works with it, and it is not hidden’’.⁵⁵

‘From Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘I ask youasws, may I be sacrificed for youasws, about three characteristics the Taqiyyah (dissimulation) can be negated from me during it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws said: ‘That is for you (to decide)’.

قُلْتُ أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ قَالَ فَعَلَيْهِمَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ بِلَعَنَاتِهِ كُلِّهَا مَاتَا وَ اللَّهِ وَ هُمَا كَافِرَانِ مُشْرِكَانِ‏ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

I said, ‘I ask youasws about so and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr & Umar)’. Heasws said: ‘Upon them both is Curse of Allahazwj. By Allahazwj! They died and they were both Kafirs, Polytheists with Allahazwj the Magnificent!’

ثُمَّ قُلْتُ- الْأَئِمَّةُ يُحْيُونَ الْمَوْتَى وَ يُبْرِءُونَ الْأَكْمَهَ وَ الْأَبْرَصَ وَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ قَالَ مَا أَعْطَى اللَّهُ نَبِيّاً شَيْئاً قَطُّ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أَعْطَاهُ مُحَمَّداً ص وَ أَعْطَاهُ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدَهُمْ

Then I said, ‘The Imamsasws can revive the dead, and cure the blind and the leper, and walk upon the water?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj did not Give any Prophetsaww anything at all except that Heazwj Gave it to Muhammadsaww, and (also) Gave himsaww was did not happen to be with themas’.

I said, ‘And all what was with Rasool-Allahsaww, hesaww gave it to Amir Al-Momineenasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, then Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, then from afterwards, every Imamasws up to the Day of Qiyamah with the increase which occurs during every year, and during every month. Yes, by Allahazwj, during every moment’’.⁵⁶

‘From Al-Sadiqasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘What is our merit over the ones opposing us? By Allahazwj! I see the man from them being in ease, comfortable, and bountiful life, goodly state, and covetous regarding the Paradise’.

قَالَ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي حَتَّى كُنَّا بِالْأَبْطَحِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ وَ رَأَيْنَا النَّاسَ يَضِجُّونَ‏ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ مَا أَكْثَرَ الضَّجِيجَ وَ الْعَجِيجَ وَ أَقَلَّ الْحَجِيجَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ بِالنُّبُوَّةِ مُحَمَّداً وَ عَجَّلَ بِرُوحِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ مَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ خَاصَّةً

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws was silent from me until we were at Al-Bat’ha from Makkah, and we saw the people clamouring to Allahazwj, heasws said: ‘How much is the clamour and the noise, and few are the pilgrims. By the Oneazwj Who Sent Muhammadsaww with the Prophet-hood and Hastened hissaww soul to the Paradise! Allahazwj will not Accept except from you and from your companions in particular’.

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – Al Saffar, from Abu Suleyman Dawood bin Abdullah, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from usman bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’farasws, ‘I am yourasws slave and from yourasws Shias, weak, blind, guarantee the Paradise for me’. Heasws said: ‘Or shall Iasws not give you a sign of the Imamsasws?’ I said, ‘And it is not (Obligatory) upon youasws to gather these for me’. Heasws said: ‘And you would love that?’ I said, ‘And how can I not love it?’

فَمَا زَادَ أَنْ مَسَحَ عَلَى بَصَرِي فَأَبْصَرْتُ جَمِيعَ مَا فِي السَّقِيفَةِ الَّتِي كَانَ فِيهَا جَالِساً قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ هَذَا بَصَرُكَ فَانْظُرْ مَا تَرَى بِعَيْنِكَ

Heasws did not increase from wiping upon my eyes, and I saw the entirety of ones seated in the tent (Saqeefa) which had happened in it. Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! This is your vision, so look what you can see with your eyes’.

قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَبْصَرْتُ إِلَّا كَلْباً وَ خِنْزِيراً وَ قِرْداً قُلْتُ مَا هَذَا الْخَلْقُ الْمَمْسُوخُ قَالَ هَذَا الَّذِي تَرَى هَذَا السَّوَادُ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ لَوْ كُشِفَ الْغِطَاءُ لِلنَّاسِ مَا نَظَرَ الشِّيعَةُ إِلَى مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ إِلَّا فِي هَذِهِ الصُّورَةِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘By Allahazwj! I did not see except dogs and pigs and monkeys. I said, ‘What are these morphed creatures?’ Heasws said: ‘That which you see is the great multitude, and if the covering were to be removed, the Shia would not look at the ones who oppose them except they would be in these images’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ تَرَكْتُكَ عَلَى حَالِكَ هَكَذَا وَ حِسَابُكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ ضَمِنْتُ لَكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ رَدَدْتُكَ عَلَى حَالِكَ الْأَوَّلِ

Then heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! I would love to leave you upon your state like this, and your Reckoning would be upon Allahazwj, and if you like, I can guarantee the Paradise for you, (based) upon Allahazwj, and return you upon your former state’.

قُلْتُ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي إِلَى النَّظَرِ إِلَى هَذَا الْخَلْقِ الْمَنْكُوسِ رُدَّنِي فَمَا لِلْجَنَّةِ عِوَضٌ فَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى عَيْنَيَّ فَرَجَعْتُ كَمَا كُنْتُ‏.

I said, ‘There is no need for me to look at these creatures, the overturned. Return me, for there is no remuneration for the Paradise’. So, heasws wiped hisasws hand upon my eyes, and I returned to what I used to be’’.⁵⁸

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws, there were uncles for himasws among the clan of Mahzoum and a youth from them came to himasws and said, ‘O uncle! My brother and peer died and I have grieved upon him with intense grief’. Heasws said to him: ‘Do you desire to see him?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Show measws his grave’.

Heasws went out and wore the cloak of Rasool-Allahsaww ‘Al-Mustajaab’. When heasws ended up to the grave, heasws spoke by hisasws lips, then kicked by hisasws left, and he came out from his grave and he was saying, ‘’Wameeka!’, in the Persian language. Aliasws said to him: ‘Did you not die and you were a man from the Arabs?’ He said, ‘Yes, but we died upon the sunnah (ways) of so and so, and so and so, so our language was overturned’’.⁵⁹

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisaas’ – Al Moalla, from Suleyman Bin Sama’at, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Sama’at Bin Mihran who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws. The sky had thunder and lightning. Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘But surely, whatever was from this thunder and from this lightning, it is from the matters of your Masterasws’. I said, ‘Who is our Masterasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws’’.⁶³

5- أَقُولُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ حَسَنُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُحْتَضَرِ، رَوَى‏ بَعْضُ عُلَمَاءِ الْإِمَامِيَّةِ فِي كِتَابِ مَنْهَجِ التَّحْقِيقِ إِلَى سَوَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ بْنُ الْأَسْوَدِ الْكِنْدِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُهُ الْحَسَنُ ع يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ ع سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ مُلْكاً لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَأَعْطَاهُ ذَلِكَ فَهَلْ مَلَكْتَ مِمَّا مَلَكَ‏ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ شَيْئاً

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The sheykh Hassan Bin Suleyman said in his book ‘Al Mukhtasar’ – ‘It is reported by one of the Imamite scholars in the book ‘Manhaj Al Tahqeeq Ila Sawa’a Al Tareeq’, by his chain,

‘From Salman Al-Farsira having said, ‘Ira, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiyya, and Muhammad Bin Aby Bakr, and Ammar Bin Yasser, and Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad Al-Kindy were (in the presence of Amir Al-Momineenasws). Hisasws sonasws Al-Hassanasws said to himasws: ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas asked hisas Lordazwj for a kingdom not befitting for anyone from after himas, so Heazwj Gave himas that. Have youasws any Rule from what Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas ruled, anything?’

فَقَالَ ع وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْمُلْكَ فَأَعْطَاهُ وَ إِنَّ أَبَاكَ مَلَكَ مَا لَمْ يَمْلِكْهُ بَعْدَ جَدِّكَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَحَدٌ قَبْلَهُ وَ لَا يَمْلِكُهُ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَهُ

So heasws said: ‘By the One Who Split the Seed and Formed the person, Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas asked Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic for the kingdom and was Given it, and yourasws fatherasws has a kingdom which no one possessed before himasws from after yourasws grandfathersaww, nor would anyone possess it after himasws’.

فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ‏ نُرِيدُ تُرِينَا مِمَّا فَضَّلَكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ فَقَالَ ع أَفْعَلُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Al-Hassanasws said to himasws: ‘We would like youasws to show us, from what Allahazwj the High has Graced youasws with, from the prestige’. So heasws said: ‘Iasws will do it, if Allahazwj so Desires it’.

فَقَامَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ تَوَضَّأَ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِدَعَوَاتٍ لَمْ نَفْهَمْهَا ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى جِهَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَمَا كَانَ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ جَاءَتْ سَحَابَةٌ فَوَقَفَتْ عَلَى الدَّارِ وَ إِلَى جَانِبِهَا سَحَابَةٌ أُخْرَى

Amir Al-Momineenasws arose and performed Wudu and prayed two Cycles Salat and supplicated to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic with supplications we did not understand it. Then heasws gestured by hisasws hand toward the direction of the west, and a cloud came as quick as can be and paused at the hour, and to its side was another cloud.

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَيَّتُهَا السَّحَابَةُ اهْبِطِي بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَهَبَطَتْ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّكَ خَلِيفَتُهُ‏ وَ وَصِيُّهُ مَنْ شَكَّ فِيكَ فَقَدْ هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِكَ سَلَكَ سَبِيلَ النَّجَاةِ

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O you cloud! Descend by the Permission of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic!’ It descended and it was saying, ‘There is no god except Allahazwj, and Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, and youasws are hissaww caliph and hissaww successorasws. One who doubts regarding youasws, so he is destroyed, and one who adheres with youasws, would travel the road of Salvation’.

قَالَ- ثُمَّ انْبَسَطَتِ السَّحَابَةُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّهَا بِسَاطٌ مَوْضُوعٌ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع اجْلِسُوا عَلَى الْغَمَامَةِ فَجَلَسْنَا وَ أَخَذْنَا مَوَاضِعَنَا فَأَشَارَ إِلَى السَّحَابَةِ الْأُخْرَى فَهَبَطَتْ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ كَمَقَالَةِ الْأُولَى وَ جَلَسَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَلَيْهَا مُفْرَدَةً ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلَامٍ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَيْهَا بِالْمَسِيرِ نَحْوَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ إِذَا بِالرِّيحِ قَدْ دَخَلَتْ تَحْتَ السَّحَابَتَيْنِ فَرَفَعَتْهُمَا رَفْعاً رَفِيقاً

Hera said, ‘Then the cloud spread itself out on the ground until as if it was a placed rug. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Be seated upon the cloud’. We sat and took our places. Heasws gestured towards the other cloud, and it descended and it was saying like the words of the first one, and Amir Al-Momineenasws sat upon it, individually. Then heasws spoke with a speech and indicated to it with the travelling around the west, and there, a wind entered beneath the two clouds and raised these with a gentle raising.

فَتَأَمَّلْتُ نَحْوَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ إِذَا بِهِ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ وَ النُّورُ يَسْطَعُ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ يَكَادُ يَخْطَفُ الْأَبْصَارَ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ كَانَ مُطَاعاً بِخَاتَمِهِ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِمَا ذَا يُطَاعُ

Ira inclined towards Amir Al-Momineenasws and heasws was upon a chair and light was shining from hisasws face almost blinding the sight. Al-Hassanasws said: ‘O Amir-Al-Momineenasws! Suleymanas Ibn Dawoodas commanded obedience by hisas ring, and Amir Al-Momineenasws, by what would heasws command obedience?’

فَقَالَ ع أَنَا عَيْنُ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ أَنَا لِسَانُ اللَّهِ النَّاطِقُ فِي خَلْقِهِ أَنَا نُورُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُطْفَأُ أَنَا بَابُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُؤْتَى مِنْهُ وَ حُجَّتُهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ

Heasws said: ‘Iasws am the Eyes of Allahazwj in Hisazwj earth, and Iasws am the Speaking Tongue of Allahazwj among Hisazwj creatures, and Iasws am the Light of Allahazwj which will not be extinguished, and Iasws am the Door of Allahazwj which (everything) is given out from it, and a divine Authority of Allahazwj over Hisazwj servants’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ خَاتَمَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَأَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ إِلَى جَيْبِهِ فَأَخْرَجَ خَاتَماً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَصُّهُ مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ عَلَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ

Then heasws said: ‘Would you all like measws to show you the ring of Suleyman Bin Dawoodas?’ We said: ‘Yes’. So heasws inserted hisasws hand in hisasws pocket, and brought out a ring of gold, embedded with red sapphire, on which was the inscription: ‘مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ’ ‘Muhammadsaww and Aliasws’.

قَالَ سَلْمَانُ فَتَعَجَّبْنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مِنْ أَيِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ تَعْجَبُونَ وَ مَا الْعَجَبُ مِنْ مِثْلِي أَنَا أُرِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مَا لَمْ تَرَوْهُ أَبَداً

Salmanra said, ‘We were astonished from that’. Heasws said: ‘Which thing are you astonished from, and what is the astonishment from the like of measws? Iasws will show you today what will not see (again) ever!’

فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ أُرِيدُ تُرِينِي‏ يَأْجُوجَ وَ مَأْجُوجَ وَ السَّدَّ الَّذِي بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَسَارَتِ الرِّيحُ تَحْتَ السَّحَابَةِ فَسَمِعْنَا لَهَا دَوِيّاً كَدَوِيِّ الرَّعْدِ وَ عَلَتْ فِي الْهَوَاءِ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَقْدُمُنَا حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى جَبَلٍ شَامِخٍ فِي الْعُلُوِّ وَ إِذَا شَجَرَةٌ جَافَّةٌ قَدْ تَسَاقَطَتْ أَوْرَاقُهَا وَ جَفَّتْ أَغْصَانُهَا

Iasws want youasws to show measws Gog and Magog, and the barrier which is between us and them’. The wind travelled beneath the cloud and we heard a rumbling for it like the rumbling of the thunder, and we arose in the air, and Amir Al-Momineenasws preceded us until we ended up to a mountain, majestic in its height, and there was a tree which had dried up and its leaves had fallen off, and its branches were dry.

فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ قَدْ يَبِسَتْ فَقَالَ ع سَلْهَا فَإِنَّهَا تُجِيبُكَ فَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ أَيَّتُهَا الشَّجَرَةُ مَا بَالُكِ قَدْ حَدَثَ بِكِ مَا نَرَاهُ مِنَ الْجَفَافِ فَلَمْ تُجِبْهُ فَقَالَ‏ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِحَقِّي عَلَيْكِ إِلَّا مَا أَجَبْتِيهِ

Al-Hassanasws said: ‘What is the matter with this tree to have dried up?’ Heasws said: ‘Ask it, for it will answer youasws’. Al-Hassanasws said: ‘O you tree! What is the matter the dryness has occurred with you what we see?’ But it did not answer himasws. Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘By myasws right upon you! Why did you not answer himasws?’

قَالَ الرَّاوِي وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُهَا وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ لَبَّيْكَ لَبَّيْكَ يَا وَصِيَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ خَلِيفَتَهُ

The reporter (Salmanra) said, ‘We heard it and it was saying, ‘At yourasws service! At yourasws service, O successorasws of Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww caliph!’

ثُمَّ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع كَانَ يَجِيئُنِي فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ وَقْتَ السَّحَرِ وَ يُصَلِّي عِنْدِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يُكْثِرُ مِنَ التَّسْبِيحِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ جَاءَتْهُ غَمَامَةٌ بَيْضَاءُ يُنْفَخُ مِنْهَا رِيحُ الْمِسْكِ وَ عَلَيْهَا كُرْسِيٌّ فَيَجْلِسُ فَتَسِيرُ بِهِ‏ وَ كُنْتُ أَعِيشُ بِبَرَكَتِهِ فَانْقَطَعَ عَنِّي مُنْذُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً فَهَذَا سَبَبُ مَا تَرَاهُ مِنِّي

Then it said, ‘O Abu Muhammadasws! Amir Al-Momineenasws used to come to me during every night at the time of pre-dawn and pray two Cycles Salat in my presence and frequent from the glorification. When heasws was free from hisasws supplication, a white cloud came to himasws blowing the aroma of musk from it, and upon it was a chair, and heasws would sit and travel with it, and I used to live by its blessings. It has been cut-off from me since forty days, and this is the reason of what youasws see from me’.

فَقَامَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ مَسَحَ بِكَفِّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَاخْضَرَّتْ وَ عَادَتْ إِلَى حَالِهَا وَ أَمَرَ الرِّيحَ‏ فَسَارَتْ بِنَا وَ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِمَلَكٍ يَدُهُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْأُخْرَى بِالْمَشْرِقِ‏

Amir Al-Momineenasws stood up and prayed two Cycles and wiped upon it by hisasws palm, and it became green and returned to its state, and heasws ordered the wind and it travelled with us and there we were with an Angel, its one hand was in the west and the other in the east.

فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْمَلَكُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَرْسَلَهُ‏ بِالْهُدى‏ وَ دِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ‏ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ وَصِيُّهُ وَ خَلِيفَتُهُ حَقّاً وَ صِدْقاً

When the Angel looked at Amir Al-Momineenasws, he said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj, there is no associate for Himazwj, and I testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww. Heazwj Sent himsaww with the Guidance and the Religion of Truth in order to prevail it upon all the Religions, and even if the Polytheists abhor it [61:9]; and I testify that youasws are hissaww successorasws and hissaww caliph truly and sincerely’.

فَقُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي يَدُهُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْأُخْرَى بِالْمَشْرِقِ‏ فَقَالَ ع هَذَا الْمَلَكُ الَّذِي وَكَّلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِظُلْمَةِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ لَا يَزُولُ‏ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ أَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَيَّ وَ إِنَّ أَعْمَالَ الْخَلْقِ تُعْرَضُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ تُرْفَعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Who is this whose one hand is in the west and the other in the east?’ Heasws said: ‘This is an Angel whom Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Allocated with darkness of the night and the day, not ceasing until the Day of Qiyamah, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made the matters of the world to measws, and the deeds of the creatures are presented to measws during every day, then these are raised to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’.

ثُمَّ سِرْنَا حَتَّى وَقَفْنَا عَلَى سَدِّ يَأْجُوجَ وَ مَأْجُوجَ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ لِلرِّيحِ اهْبِطِي بِنَا مِمَّا يَلِي هَذَا الْجَبَلَ وَ أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى جَبَلٍ شَامِخٍ فِي الْعُلُوِّ وَ هُوَ جَبَلُ الْخَضِرِ ع فَنَظَرْنَا إِلَى السَّدِّ وَ إِذَا ارْتِفَاعُهُ مَدُّ الْبَصَرِ وَ هُوَ أَسْوَدُ كَقِطْعَةِ لَيْلٍ دَامِسٍ‏ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَرْجَائِهِ الدُّخَانُ

Then we travelled until we arrived at the barrier of Gog and Magog. Amir Al-Momineenasws said to the wind: ‘Descend us from what follows this mountain’, and heasws indicated by hisasws hand towards a mountain, majestic in its peak, and it is the mountain of Al-Khizras. We looked at the barrier and it had been raised to the extent of the sight, and it was black like a piece of the dark night, smoke coming out from its valves.

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ أَنَا صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الْعَبِيدِ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ فَرَأَيْتُ أَصْنَافاً ثَلَاثَةً طُولُ أَحَدِهِمْ‏ مِائَةٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ ذِرَاعاً وَ الثَّانِي طُولُ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ سَبْعُونَ‏ ذِرَاعاً وَ الثَّالِثُ يَفْرُشُ أَحَدَ أُذُنَيْهِ تَحْتَهُ وَ الْأُخْرَى يَلْتَحِفُ بِهِ

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammadasws! Iasws am in charge of this matter upon these servants’. Salmanra said, ‘We saw three types, a length of one of them was of one hundred and twenty cubits, and the second, tallness of each one was of seventy cubits, and the third was making a bed out of his one ear under him and the other to cover himself with it.

ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَمَرَ الرِّيحَ فَسَارَتْ بِنَا إِلَى جَبَلِ قَافٍ فَانْتَهَيْتُ‏ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِذَا هُوَ مِنْ زُمُرُّدَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ وَ عَلَيْهَا مَلَكٌ عَلَى صُورَةِ النَّسْرِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ الْمَلَكُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَصِيَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ خَلِيفَتَهُ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي فِي الْكَلَامِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ وَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنْ شِئْتَ تَكَلَّمْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَخْبَرْتُكَ عَمَّا تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْهُ

Then Amir Al-Momineenasws ordered the wind and it travelled with us to a mountain of Qaf! [50:1], and ended up to it, and there is was of green aquamarine, and upon it was an Angel upon an image of the eagle. When he looked at Amir Al-Momineenasws, the Angel said, ‘The greetings be unto youasws, O successorasws of Rasool-Allahsaww and hissaww caliph! Will youasws allow me to speak?’ Heasws returned the greetings and said to him: ‘Speak if you so like to, and if you like, Iasws can inform you what you want to ask measws about’.

فَقَالَ الْمَلَكُ بَلْ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ آذَنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَزُورَ الْخَضِرَ ع قَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ ع قَدْ أَذِنْتُ لَكَ فَأَسْرَعَ الْمَلَكُ بَعْدَ أَنْ قَالَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏

The Angel said, ‘But, youasws say it, O Amir Al-Momineenasws’. Heasws said: ‘you want measws to allow you to visit Al-Khizras’. He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Iasws hereby permit for you’. The Angel flew away after saying, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’.

ثُمَّ تَمَشَّيْنَا عَلَى الْجَبَلِ هُنَيْئَةً فَإِذَا بِالْمَلَكِ قَدْ عَادَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ بَعْدَ زِيَارَةِ الْخَضِرِ ع فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَأَيْتُ الْمَلَكَ مَا زَارَ الْخَضِرَ إِلَّا حِينَ أَخَذَ إِذْنَكَ

Then we walked upon the mountain for a while, and there was the Angel having had returned to its place after his visitation of Al-Khizras. Salmanra said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Ira view that Angel has not visited Al-Khizras except when he took yourasws permission’.

فَقَالَ ع وَ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ رَامَ أَنْ يَزُولَ مِنْ مَكَانِهِ بِقَدْرِ نَفَسٍ وَاحِدٍ لَمَا زَالَ حَتَّى آذَنَ لَهُ وَ كَذَلِكَ يَصِيرُ حَالُ وَلَدِيَ الْحَسَنِ وَ بَعْدَهُ‏ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ تِسْعَةٌ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ تَاسِعُهُمْ قَائِمُهُمْ

Heasws said: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Raised the sky without pillars! If one of them were to think from moving from his place by a measurement of one breath, he would not (be able to) move until Iasws permit for him, and like that is the state of myasws sonasws Al-Hassanasws, and after himasws Al-Husaynasws and nine from the sonsasws of Al-Husayn, ninth of themasws being theirasws Qaimasws’.

فَقُلْنَا مَا اسْمُ الْمَلَكِ الْمُوَكَّلِ بِقَافٍ فَقَالَ ع تَرْجَائِيلُ‏ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَيْفَ تَأْتِي كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَ تَعُودُ فَقَالَ كَمَا أَتَيْتُ بِكُمْ وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِنِّي لَأَمْلِكُ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ مَا لَوْ عَلِمْتُمْ بِبَعْضِهِ لَمَا احْتَمَلَهُ جَنَانُكُمْ

We said, ‘What is the name of the Angel allocated with Qaf! [50:1]?’ Heasws said: ‘Tarjaeel’. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! How do youasws come to this place every night and return?’ Heasws said: ‘Just as Iasws came with you all. By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person! Iasws rule from the kingdoms of the skies and the earth what, if you were to know with part of it, your shoulder would not bear it.

إِنَّ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ عَلَى اثْنَيْنِ وَ سَبْعِينَ حَرْفاً وَ كَانَ عِنْدَ آصَفَ بْنِ بَرْخِيَا حَرْفٌ وَاحِدٌ فَتَكَلَّمَ بِهِ فَخَسَفَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْأَرْضَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عَرْشِ بِلْقِيسَ حَتَّى تَنَاوَلَ السَّرِيرَ ثُمَّ عَادَتِ الْأَرْضُ كَمَا كَانَتْ أَسْرَعَ مِنْ طَرْفِ النَّظَرِ

The Magnificent Name of Allahazwj is upon seventy-two (three) letters, and with Aasif Bin Barkhiyaas was one letter. Heas spoke with it and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Submerged the ground what was between himas and the throne of Bilquis until heas grabbed the throne, then the ground returned to just as it had been, quicker than the blink of the eye.

وَ عِنْدَنَا نَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ اثْنَانِ وَ سَبْعُونَ حَرْفاً وَ حَرْفٌ وَاحِدٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اسْتَأْثَرَ بِهِ‏ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ عَرَفَنَا مَنْ عَرَفَنَا وَ أَنْكَرَنَا مَنْ أَنْكَرَنَا

And with usasws, by Allahazwj are seventy-two letters, and one letter is with Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, Heazwj Chooses with it regarding the hidden matters, and there is neither any might nor strength except with Allahazwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent. He recognises usasws, one who recognises usasws, and he denies usasws one who denies usasws’.

ثُمَّ قَامَ ع وَ قُمْنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِشَابٍّ فِي الْجَبَلِ يُصَلِّي بَيْنَ قَبْرَيْنِ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ هَذَا الشَّابُّ فَقَالَ ع صَالِحٌ النَّبِيُّ فَقَالَ ع وَ هَذَانِ الْقَبْرَانِ لِأُمِّهِ وَ أَبِيهِ وَ إِنَّهُ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ بَيْنَهُمَا

Then heasws arose and we stood up, and there we were with a youth in the mountain praying Salat between two graves. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Who is this youth?’ Heasws said: ‘The Prophetas Salihas, and these two graves are of hisas mother and hisas father, and heas worships Allahazwj between the two’.

فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ صَالِحٌ لَمْ يَتَمَالَكْ نَفْسَهُ حَتَّى بَكَى وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع ثُمَّ أَعَادَهَا إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ هُوَ يَبْكِي فَوَقَفَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عِنْدَهُ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ

When Salihas looked at himasws, could not control himselfas until heas cried and gestured by hisas hand towards Amir Al-Momineenasws, then returned it to hisas chest, and heas was crying. Amir Al-Momineenasws paused by himas until heas was free from hisas Salat.

فَقُلْنَا لَهُ مَا بُكَاؤُكَ قَالَ صَالِحٌ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع كَانَ يَمُرُّ بِي عِنْدَ كُلِّ غَدَاةٍ فَيَجْلِسُ فَتَزْدَادُ عِبَادَتِي بِنَظَرِي إِلَيْهِ فَقُطِعَ ذَلِكَ‏ مُذْ عَشَرَةِ أَيَّامٍ فَأَقْلَقَنِي ذَلِكَ

We said to himas, ‘What make youas cry?’ Salihas said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws used to pass by meas during every morning, and heasws would sit, so myas worship was increased by myas looking at himasws. That has been cut off since ten days. That has worried meas’.

فَتَعَجَّبْنَا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ع تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنَ دَاوُدَ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَامَ وَ نَحْنُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ بُسْتَاناً مَا رَأَيْنَا أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ وَ فِيهِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْفَوَاكِهِ وَ الْأَعْنَابِ وَ أَنْهَارُهُ‏ تَجْرِي وَ الْأَطْيَارُ يَتَجَاوَبْنَ‏ عَلَى الْأَشْجَارِ

We were astonished from that. Heasws said: ‘Do you want measws to show you Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas?’ We said, ‘Yes’. Heasws stood up and we went with himasws until heasws entered an orchard, we had not seen any more beautiful than it, and in it were the entirety of the fruits, and grapes, and rivers flowing, and birds perched upon the trees.

فَحِينَ رَأَتْهُ‏ الْأَطْيَارُ أَتَتْ تُرَفْرِفُ حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى تَوَسَّطْنَا الْبُسْتَانَ وَ إِذَا سَرِيرٌ عَلَيْهِ شَابٌّ مُلْقًى عَلَى ظَهْرِهِ وَاضِعٌ يَدَهُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَأَخْرَجَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع الْخَاتَمَ مِنْ جَيْبِهِ وَ جَعَلَهُ فِي إِصْبَعِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ فَنَهَضَ قَائِماً وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَصِيَّ رَسُولِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

When the birds saw himasws, they came fluttering around himasws until we were in the middle of the orchard, and there was a throne, upon it was a youth sitting upon its back, placing his head upon his chest. Amir Al-Momineenasws brought out the ring from hisasws pocket and made it to be in the finger of Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas. Heas got up to stand and said: ‘The greetings be unto youasws, O Amir Al-Momineenasws, and successorasws of Rasoolsaww of Lordazwj of the worlds!

أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ الْفَارُوقُ الْأَعْظَمُ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِكَ وَ قَدْ خَابَ وَ خَسِرَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْكَ وَ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَأُعْطِيتُ ذَلِكَ الْمُلْكَ

By Allahazwj! Youasws are the greatest truthful, and the magnificent distributor. He has succeeded, one who adheres with youasws, and he has failed and incurred a loss, one who stays behind from youasws, and Ias asked Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by youasws, Peopleasws of the Household, so Ias was given that kingdom’.

قَالَ سَلْمَانُ فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَا كَلَامَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ لَمْ أَتَمَالَكْ نَفْسِي حَتَّى وَقَعْتُ عَلَى أَقْدَامِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أُقَبِّلُهَا وَ حَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى جَزِيلِ عَطَائِهِ بِهِدَايَتِهِ إِلَى وَلَايَةِ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ‏ تَطْهِيراً وَ فَعَلَ‏ أَصْحَابِي كَمَا فَعَلْتُ

Salmanra said, ‘When we heard the speech of Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas, Ira could not control myselfra until Ira fell upon the feet of Amir Al-Momineenasws. Ira kissed them and praised Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic upon the abundance of Hisazwj Grants by Hisazwj Guiding to the Wilayah of Peopleasws of the Household, those from whom Allahazwj Kept Away the uncleanness from themasws and Purified themasws with a Purification; and myra companions did just as Ira had done.

ثُمَّ سَأَلْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا وَرَاءَ قَافٍ قَالَ ع وَرَاءَهُ مَا لَا يَصِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ عِلْمُهُ فَقُلْنَا تَعْلَمُ‏ ذَلِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ ع عِلْمِي بِمَا وَرَاءَهُ كَعِلْمِي بِحَالِ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا وَ إِنِّي الْحَفِيظُ الشَّهِيدُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَذَلِكَ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ مِنْ وُلْدِي بَعْدِي

Then Ira asked Amir Al-Momineenasws, ‘What is behind Qaf! [50:1]?’ Heasws said: ‘Behind it is what its knowledge cannot arrive to you’. We said, ‘Youasws know that, O Amir Al-Momineenasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Myasws knowledge of what is behind it is like myasws knowledge with the state of this world and what is in it, and Iasws am the protector, the witness upon it after Rasool-Allahsaww, and like that are the succesorsasws from myasws sonsasws after measws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع إِنِّي لَأَعْرَفُ بِطُرُقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ مِنْ طُرُقِ الْأَرْضِ نَحْنُ الِاسْمُ الْمَخْزُونُ الْمَكْنُونُ نَحْنُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى الَّتِي إِذَا سُئِلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَا أَجَابَ نَحْنُ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ

Then heasws said: ‘Iasws am more knowing with the roads of the skies than the roads of the earth. Weasws are the Name, the treasured, the hidden. Weasws are the Magnificent Names which when Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is asked by it, Heazwj Answers. Weasws are the names inscribed upon the Throne.

وَ لِأَجْلِنَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ السَّمَاءَ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ الْعَرْشَ وَ الْكُرْسِيَّ وَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ النَّارَ وَ مِنَّا تَعَلَّمَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ التَّسْبِيحَ وَ التَّقْدِيسَ وَ التَّوْحِيدَ وَ التَّهْلِيلَ وَ التَّكْبِيرَ وَ نَحْنُ الْكَلِمَاتُ الَّتِي تَلَقَّاهَا آدَمُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ‏ فَتابَ عَلَيْهِ‏

And for ourasws reason, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created the sky and the earth, and the Throne and the Chair, and the Paradise and the Fire, and from usasws the Angels learnt the glorification and the extollation of Holiness, and the Tawheed, and the extollation of Oneness, and the exclamation of Greatness, and weasws are the Words which Adamas received from hisas Lordazwj, so Heazwj Turned to himas’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ عَجَباً قُلْنَا نَعَمْ قَالَ غُضُّوا أَعْيُنَكُمْ فَفَعَلْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ افْتَحُوهَا فَفَتَحْنَاهَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِمَدِينَةٍ مَا رَأَيْنَا أَكْبَرَ مِنْهَا الْأَسْوَاقُ فِيهَا قَائِمَةٌ وَ فِيهَا أُنَاسٌ مَا رَأَيْنَا أَعْظَمَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِمْ عَلَى طُولِ النَّخْلِ قُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ

Then heasws said: ‘Do you want measws to show you a wonder?’ We said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Close your eyes’. We did so, then heasws said: ‘Open them!’ We opened them, and there we were in a city, we had not seen any larger than it. The markets had been established in it, and therein were people we had not seen any larger than their bodies, the tallness of the palm tree. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Who are they?’

قَالَ بَقِيَّةُ قَوْمِ عَادٍ كُفَّارٌ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ إِيَّاهُمْ وَ هَذِهِ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ أَهْلَهَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُهْلِكَهُمْ وَ هُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ قُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُهْلِكُهُمْ‏ بِغَيْرِ حُجَّةٍ قَالَ لَا بَلْ بِحُجَّةٍ عَلَيْهِمْ

Heasws said: ‘Remainder of the people of Aad. They do not believe in Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. Iasws loved to show them to you, and this city and its inhabitants. Iasws intend to destroy them, and they are not aware’. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Youasws will destroy them without any argument?’ Heasws said: ‘No, but with an argument against them’.

فَدَنَا مِنْهُمْ وَ تَرَاءَى لَهُمْ فَهَمُّوا أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ وَ نَحْنُ نَرَاهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَرَوْنَ‏ ثُمَّ تَبَاعَدَ عَنْهُمْ وَ دَنَا مِنَّا وَ مَسَحَ بِيَدِهِ عَلَى صُدُورِنَا وَ أَبْدَانِنَا وَ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَاتٍ لَمْ نَفْهَمْهَا وَ عَادَ إِلَيْهِمْ ثَانِيَةً حَتَّى صَارَ بِإِزَائِهِمْ وَ صَعِقَ فِيهِمْ صَعْقَهً

Then heasws went near them and appeared to them, and they thought of killing himasws, and we could see them and they were seeing (us). Then heasws distance from them and came near us and wiped hisasws hand upon our chests and our bodies, and spoke with (certain) phrases we did not understand, and repeated to them for a second time until heasws came with their attire, and there was a lightning among them with a thunderbolt.

قَالَ سَلْمَانُ- لَقَدْ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ قَدِ انْقَلَبَتْ وَ السَّمَاءَ قَدْ سَقَطَتْ وَ أَنَّ الصَّوَاعِقَ مِنْ فِيهِ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُمْ‏ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ أَحَدٌ قُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا صَنَعَ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ قَالَ هَلَكُوا وَ صَارُوا كُلُّهُمْ إِلَى النَّارِ قُلْنَا هَذَا مُعْجِزٌ مَا رَأَيْنَا وَ لَا سَمِعْنَا بِمِثْلِهِ

Salmanra said, ‘We thought that the earth had overturned and the sky had collapsed and that the lightning has come out from hisasws mouth. There did not remain anyone from them in that moment. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! What has Allahazwj Done with them?’ Heasws said: ‘They are destroyed and all of them came to be in the Fire’. We said, ‘This is a miracle we have neither seen or heard the like of it’.

فَقَالَ ع أَ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ أُرِيَكُمْ أَعْجَبَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْنَا لَا نُطِيقُ بِأَسْرِنَا عَلَى احْتِمَالِ شَيْ‏ءٍ آخَرَ فَعَلَى مَنْ لَا يَتَوَالاكَ وَ [لَا] يُؤْمِنُ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ عَظِيمِ قَدْرِكَ عَلَى اللَّهِ‏ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ لَعْنَةُ اللَّاعِنِينَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ

Heasws said: ‘Do you want measws to show you more wondrous than that?’ We said, ‘We cannot tolerate upon bearing something another, so upon the one who does not befriend you, nor believing in yourasws merits, and yourasws great worth to Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, the Curse of Allahazwj be upon him, and the curses of the cursing ones, and the Angels, and the entirety of the creatures, up to the Day of Qiyamah’.

ثُمَّ سَأَلْنَا الرُّجُوعَ إِلَى أَوْطَانِنَا فَقَالَ أَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَشَارَ إِلَى السَّحَابَتَيْنِ فَدَنَتَا مِنَّا فَقَالَ ع خُذُوا مَوَاضِعَكُمْ فَجَلَسْنَا عَلَى سَحَابَةٍ وَ جَلَسَ ع عَلَى الْأُخْرَى وَ أَمَرَ الرِّيحَ فَحَمَلَتْنَا حَتَّى صِرْنَا فِي الْجَوِّ وَ رَأَيْنَا الْأَرْضَ كَالدِّرْهَمِ ثُمَّ حَطَّتْنَا فِي دَارِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي أَقَلَّ مِنْ طَرْفِ النَّظَرِ

Then we asked for the return to our homeland. Heasws said: ‘Iasws shall do that, if Allahazwj so Desires’. Heasws gestured towards the two clouds, and they came near us. Heasws said: ‘Take your places!’ We sat upon a cloud and heasws sat upon the other and ordered the wind and it carried us until we came to be in the air and we saw the earth being like a Dirham. Then we descended in the house of Amir Al-Momineenasws in less than the blink of an eye.

وَ كَانَ وُصُولُنَا إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَقْتَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ يُؤَذِّنُ وَ كَانَ خُرُوجُنَا مِنْهَا وَقْتَ عَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ‏ فَقُلْنَا بِاللَّهِ الْعَجَبُ كُنَّا فِي جَبَلِ قَافٍ مَسِيرَةَ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ وَ عُدْنَا فِي خَمْسِ سَاعَاتٍ مِنَ النَّهَارِ

And our arrival at Al-Medina was at the time of Al-Zohr and the Muezzin was proclaiming the Azaan, and our exit from it was at the time of the rising of the sun. We said, ‘By Allahazwj! We were in the mount Qaf at a travel distance of five years, and we return in five hours from the day’.

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لَوْ أَنَّنِي أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَجُوبَ‏ الدُّنْيَا بِأَسْرِهَا وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَ أَرْجِعَ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنَ الطَّرْفِ لَفَعَلْتُ بِمَا عِنْدِي‏ مِنِ اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ الْآيَةُ الْعُظْمَى وَ الْمُعْجِزُ الْبَاهِرُ بَعْدَ أَخِيكَ وَ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘If Iasws wanted to cut through the world in its travel and the seven seas, and return in less than the blink of an eye, Iasws could have done so due to what is with measws from the Magnificent Name of Allahazwj’. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! By Allahazwj, youasws are the Magnificent Sign, and the dazzling miracle after yourasws brothersaww and sonsaww of yourasws uncleas, Rasool-Allahsaww’’.⁶⁴

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Ibrahim, from Ammar, from Ibrahim Bin Al Husayn, from Bistam, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Umar Bin Yazeed, from Hisham Al Jawaliqy,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘For Allahazwj there is a city behind the sea, its vastness is of a travel distance of forty days of the sun. In it there are a people who do not disobey Allahazwj at all, nor do they recognise Ibleesla, nor do they know the creation of Ibleesla.

نَلْقَاهُمْ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ فَيَسْأَلُونَّا عَمَّا يَحْتَاجُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَسْأَلُونَّا الدُّعَاءَ فَنُعْلِمُهُمْ وَ يَسْأَلُونَّا عَنْ قَائِمِنَا مَتَى يَظْهَرُ وَ فِيهِمْ عِبَادَةٌ وَ اجْتِهَادٌ شَدِيدٌ- وَ لِمَدِينَتِهِمْ أَبْوَابٌ مَا بَيْنَ الْمِصْرَاعِ إِلَى الْمِصْرَاعِ مِائَةُ فَرْسَخٍ

Weasws meet them every time and they ask usasws about what they are needy to, and they ask usasws for the supplication, and they ask usasws about ourasws Qaimasws, when will heasws appear, and among them is intense worship and striving; and for their city there are gates in what is between the shutter to the shutter at one hundred Farsakhs.

لَهُمْ تَقْدِيسٌ وَ اجْتِهَادٌ شَدِيدٌ لَوْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُمْ لَاحْتَقَرْتُمْ‏ عَمَلَكُمْ يُصَلِّي الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ شَهْراً لَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ سُجُودِهِ طَعَامُهُمُ التَّسْبِيحُ وَ لِبَاسُهُمُ الْوَرَقُ‏ وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ مُشْرِقَةٌ بِالنُّورِ

For them is such holiness and intense striving, if Iasws were to show them to you, it would be little your deeds. The man from them prays Salat for a month, not raising his head from his Sajdah. Their food is the glorification, and their clothes are the leaves, and their faces shine with the radiance (Noor).

إِذَا رَأَوْا مِنَّا وَاحِداً لَحَسُوهُ‏ وَ اجْتَمَعُوا إِلَيْهِ وَ أَخَذُوا مِنْ أَثَرِهِ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يَتَبَرَّكُونَ بِهِ لَهُمْ دَوِيٌّ إِذَا صَلُّوا أَشَدَّ مِنْ دَوِيِّ الرِّيحِ الْعَاصِفِ فِيهِمْ جَمَاعَةٌ لَمْ يَضَعُوا السِّلَاحَ مُنْذُ كَانُوا يَنْتَظِرُونَ قَائِمَنَا يَدْعُونَ‏ أَنْ يُرِيَهُمْ إِيَّاهُ

When they see one of usasws, they surround himasws and gather to himasws and take from hisasws traces from the ground to be blessed by it. For them is such noise when they pray Salat, severer than the noise of the stormy wind; among them is a group who have not placed down their weapons since they have been awaiting ourasws Qaimasws, supplicating that Heazwj Shows himasws to them.

وَ عُمُرُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَلْفُ سَنَةٍ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ رَأَيْتَ الْخُشُوعَ وَ الِاسْتِكَانَةَ وَ طَلَبَ مَا يُقَرِّبُهُمْ إِلَيْهِ‏ إِذَا احْتَبَسْنَا ظَنُّوا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ سَخَطٍ يَتَعَاهَدُونَ السَّاعَةَ الَّتِي نَأْتِيهِمْ فِيهَا لَا يَسْأَمُونَ وَ لَا يَفْتُرُونَ

And the age of one of them is of a thousand years. When you see them, you will see the reverence and the calmness, and seek what would draw them closer to Himazwj. Whenever weasws are withheld (from them), they think that is from Wrath. They are pledging the time which weasws would be coming to them in. They neither get tired nor slow down.

يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ كَمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُمْ وَ إِنَّ فِيمَا نَعْلَمُهُمْ مَا لَوْ تُلِيَ عَلَى النَّاسِ‏ لَكَفَرُوا بِهِ وَ لَأَنْكَرُوهُ يَسْأَلُونَنَا عَنِ الشَّيْ‏ءِ إِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ لَا يَعْرِفُونَهُ‏ فَإِذَا أَخْبَرْنَاهُمْ بِهِ انْشَرَحَتْ صُدُورُهُمْ لِمَا يَسْمَعُونَ‏ مِنَّا

They recite the Book of Allahazwj just as weasws teach them and if among what weasws teach them is what, if it were to be recited to the people, they would disbelieve in it and deny it. They ask usasws about the thing from the Quran when it is referred to them and they do not understand it. When weasws inform them with it, it expands their chests due to what they hear from usasws.

وَ سَأَلُوا اللَّهَ طُولَ الْبَقَاءِ وَ أَنْ لَا يَفْقِدُونَا وَ يَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ الْمِنَّةَ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فِيمَا نُعَلِّمُهُمْ عَظِيمَةٌ وَ لَهُمْ خَرْجَةٌ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ إِذَا قَامَ يَسْبِقُونَ فِيهَا أَصْحَابَ السِّلَاحِ مِنْهُمْ وَ يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُمْ مِمَّنْ يَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِهِ‏

And they as Allahazwj for the long life and that they should not miss usasws, and they know that the Conferment from Allahazwj upon them regarding what weasws teach them, is mighty, and for them is emergence with the Imamasws when heasws rises. The ones from them with the weapons are preceding in it, and they supplicate to Allahazwj that Make them to be from the ones Hisazwj Religion would be helped with.

فِيهِمْ كُهُولٌ وَ شُبَّانٌ إِذَا رَأَى شَابٌّ مِنْهُمُ الْكَهْلَ جَلَسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ جِلْسَةَ الْعَبْدِ لَا يَقُومُ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَهُ لَهُمْ طَرِيقٌ هُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَى حَيْثُ يُرِيدُ الْإِمَامُ فَإِذَا أَمَرَهُمُ الْإِمَامُ بِأَمْرٍ قَامُوا عَلَيْهِ‏ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَكُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَأْمُرُهُمْ بِغَيْرِهِ

Among them are elderly people and youth. When the youth from them sees the elder, he sits in front of him the sitting of the slave, not arising until he instructs them. For them is a road they are more knowing with it than the creatures, to when the Imamasws would want. So, when the Imamasws orders them with an order, they stand upon it, for ever until heasws happens to be the one who orders them otherwise.

لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ وَرَدُوا عَلَى مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ لَأَفْنَوْهُمْ فِي سَاعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لَا يَخْتَلُّ الْحَدِيدُ فِيهِمْ‏ وَ لَهُمْ سُيُوفٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ غَيْرِ هَذَا الْحَدِيدِ لَوْ ضَرَبَ أَحَدُهُمْ بِسَيْفِهِ جَبَلًا لَقَدَّهُ حَتَّى يَفْصِلَهُ

If one of them were to come to the creatures in what is between the east and the west, they would tempt them in one moment. The iron is not defective among the, and for them are swords of iron other that this iron. If one of them were to strike a mountain with his sword, he would split it until he separates it.

يَغْزُو بِهِمُ الْإِمَامُ الْهِنْدَ وَ الدَّيْلَمَ وَ الْكُرْكَ‏ وَ التُّرْكَ وَ الرُّومَ وَ بَرْبَرَ وَ مَا بَيْنَ جَابَرْسَا إِلَى جَابَلْقَا وَ هُمَا مَدِينَتَانِ وَاحِدَةٌ بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَ أُخْرَى بِالْمَغْرِبِ

The Imamasws will battle with them against in India, and Al-Daylam (North Iran), and Al-Karkh (Kurds), and the Turks, and the Romans, and Berbers (North Africa), and what is between Jabersa up to Jabalqa, and these two are cities, one in the east and one in the west.

لَا يَأْتُونَ عَلَى أَهْلِ دِينٍ إِلَّا دَعَوْهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ‏ وَ إِلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ مَنْ لَمْ يُقِرَّ بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَ لَمْ يُسْلِمْ قَتَلُوهُ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ مَا دُونَ الْجَبَلِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا أَقَرَّ.

They will not come to the people of any religion except they would invite them to Allahazwj and to Al-Islam, and to the acknowledgment with Muhammadsaww; and one who does not acknowledge with Al-Islam and does accept Al-Islam and does not submit, they would kill him until there does not remain anyone between the east and the west and what is besides the mountain, except he will accept’’.

Explanation – I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the sheykh Hassan Bin Suleyman in the book ‘Al Mukhtasar’ from the (book) ‘Al Arbaeen’ of Sa’ad Al Arbily, by his chain from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Al Ahwazy and Al Yawteeny, both together from Sazalat, from Al Qasim bin Bureyd, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the inheritance of knowledge, ‘What is its reach? Is it totally from the knowledge or interpretation of all things from these matters which one speaks of?’

فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَدِينَتَيْنِ مَدِينَةً بِالْمَشْرِقِ وَ مَدِينَةً بِالْمَغْرِبِ فِيهِمَا قَوْمٌ لَا يَعْرِفُونَ إِبْلِيسَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْخَبَرِ.

Heasws said: ‘For Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic there are two cities, a city in the east and a city in the west. In these two there are people who do not know Ibleesla’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth’’.⁶⁷

‘Al-Hassan Bin Aliasws said: ‘For Allahazwj there is a city in the east and a city in the west. Upon each one there is a gate of iron, in each gate there are seventy thousand shutters of gold. In each shutter enters (people) of seventy thousand languages of the human beings, and there isn’t any language in it except it is different from the other, and there is no language from these except and Iasws know it, and there is neither in these nor between these a son of a Prophetas apart from measws and apart from myasws brotherasws Al-Husaynasws, and Iasws am a Divine Authority upon them’’.⁶⁸

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Muhammad Bin Haround, from Abu Yahya Al Wasity, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ijlan Abu Salih who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the dome of Adamas. I said to himasws, ‘This is the dome of Adamas?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, and for Allahazwj there are a lot of domes. As for behind this west of yours, there are thirty-nine wests, white earths filled with creatures being enlightened by ourasws Noor (lights). They do not disobey Allahazwj even for the blink of an eye. They don’t know whether Allahazwj Created Adamas or did not Create himas. They are disavowing from so and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr & Umar)’.

قِيلَ لَهُ كَيْفَ هَذَا يَتَبَرَّءُونَ مِنْ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ هُمْ لَا يَدْرُونَ أَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ أَمْ لَمْ يَخْلُقْهُ

It was said to himasws, ‘How can this be that they are disavowing from so and so, and so and so, and they don’t know whether Allahazwj Created Adamas or did not Create himas?’

Heasws said to the questioner: ‘Do you recognise Ibleesla?’ He said, ‘No, except by the news’. Heasws said: ‘And you have been Commanded with the cursing and disavowment from himla?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘So that is how they have been Commanded’’.⁶⁹

He greeted, so heasws returned the greetings, then heasws said to him: ‘Are there scholars among you?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘So what has reached from the knowledge of your scholars?’ He said, ‘He flies the flight of the birds withholding the effects, a travel distance of a month of the fast rider, in one hour’.

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – It is reported from Al Khalid Bin Al Haysam Al Farsi who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws, ‘The people are claiming that in the earth there are ‘Abdaal’ (replaced ones), so who are these replaced ones?’ Heasws said: ‘They speak the truth. The replaced ones are the successorsasws. Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Made themasws are replacements for the Prophetsas in the earth when the Prophetsas are raised (pass away), and Muhammadsaww is theiras last one’’.⁷⁵

The report from Umm Dawood,

‘From Al-Sadiqasws regarding the middle of Rajab where heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and Mercy Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammad, just as Youazwj had Mercied and Blessed upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are Praiseworthy, Glorified!

O Allahazwj! Send Salawat upon the successorsas, and the fortunate ones, and the martyrs, and the Imamsasws of guidance. O Allahazwj! Send Salawat upon the Replaced ones, and the pegs, and the travellers, and the worshippers, and the sincere ones, and the ascetics, and the people of struggle and the striving’’.⁷⁶

باب 17 أن صاحب هذا الأمر محفوظ و أنه يأتي الله بمن يؤمن به في كل عصر

CHAPTER 17 – THE MASTERasws OF THIS COMMAND IS PROTECTED, AND ALLAHazwj BRINGS TO HIMasws THE ONES WHO BELIEVE IN HIMasws DURING EVERY ERA

1- شي، تفسير العياشي ابْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ هَارُونَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ بَعْضَ هَذِهِ الْعِجْلِيَّةِ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ

Tafseer al Ayyashi – Ibn Sinan, from Suleyman Bin Haroun who said,

‘I said to him, ‘Some of these Ajeelas (those who followed Ameer Bin Bayan Al-Ajaly) are alleging that the sword of Rasool-Allahsaww is with Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan’.

فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَآهُ هُوَ وَ لَا أَبُوهُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَآهُ أَبُوهُ عِنْدَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ إِنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَحْفُوظٌ لَهُ فَلَا تَذْهَبَنَّ يَمِيناً وَ لَا شِمَالًا فَإِنَّ الْأَمْرَ وَ اللَّهِ وَاضِحٌ

So heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! Neither has he seen it nor has his father even by one of his eyes, except if his father has seen it with Al-Husaynasws. And the Master of this Command (Al-Qaimasws), it is protected for himasws. So you should neither go right nor left, for the matter, by Allahazwj, it is clear.

وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى أَنْ يُحَوِّلُوا هَذَا الْأَمْرَ مِنْ مَوْضِعِهِ الَّذِي وَضَعَهُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعُوا

By Allahazwj! Even if the inhabitants of the sky and the earth were to gather upon changing this matter from its place in which Allahazwj has Placed it, they would not be able to.

وَ لَوْ أَنَّ النَّاسَ كَفَرُوا جَمِيعاً حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى أَحَدٌ لَجَاءَ اللَّهُ لِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ بِأَهْلٍ يَكُونُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ

And even if the people in their entirety were to commit Kufr until there does not remain anyone, Allahazwj would still Come for this matter with the people who would happen to be from it’s rightful ones’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَنْ يَرْتَدَّ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَ يُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكافِرِينَ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنَ الْآيَةِ

Then heasws said: ‘Did you not hear Allahazwj Saying: O you who believe! The one from you who reneges from his Religion, then soon Allah would Come with a people He would be Loving them and they would be loving Him, being humble towards the momineen, mighty against the Kafirs [5:54]?’ – until heasws was free from the Verse.

وَ قَالَ فِي آيَةٍ أُخْرَى‏ فَإِنْ يَكْفُرْ بِها هؤُلاءِ فَقَدْ وَكَّلْنا بِها قَوْماً لَيْسُوا بِها بِكافِرِينَ‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ هُمْ أَهْلُ تِلْكَ الْآيَةِ.

And heasws said regarding another Verse: ‘therefore if they disbelieve in it We have already Allocated with it a people who would not be disbelievers in it [6:89]’. Then heasws said: ‘The people of this Verse, they are the people of that Verse’’.⁷⁷

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The Imamsasws are at the status of Rasool-Allahsaww except theyasws aren’t Prophetsas, nor is it Permissible for themasws from the women (number of wives) what was Permissible for the Prophetsaww. As for what is besides that, so theyasws are at the status of Rasool-Allahsaww’’.⁷⁹

Tafseer Al Qummi – In a report of Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws regarding Hisazwj Words: Allah did not Make two hearts for a man to be inside him [33:4]: ‘So he would love with this one and hate with other one. As for ourasws love, it is the sincere love for usasws just as the gold purified by the fire, there being no impurity in it.

مَنْ‏ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ حُبَّنَا فَلْيَمْتَحِنْ قَلْبَهُ فَإِنْ شَارَكَهُ‏ فِي حُبِّنَا حُبَّ عَدُوِّنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا وَ لَسْنَا مِنْهُ وَ اللَّهُ عَدُوُّهُمْ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ اللَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ‏.

One who wants to know ourasws love, then let him examine his heart, so if he has participated in ourasws love, the love for ourasws enemies. So, he isn’t from usasws and weasws aren’t from him, and Allahazwj is their enemy, and Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and Allahazwj is an enemy to the Kafirs’’.⁸⁰

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – Ibn Isa, from Al Bazanty who said,

‘Al-Rezaasws wrote to me: ‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘One whom it cheers that there should not happen to be any Veil between him and Allahazwj to the extent that he looks at Allahazwj and Allahazwj Looks at him, then let him befriend the Progenyasws of Muhammad and disavow from theirasws enemies, and make an Imam with an Imamasws from themasws, so when it would be like that, Allahazwj would Look at him and he would look at Allahazwj’’.

بيان: نظره إلى الله كناية عن غاية المعرفة بحسب طاقته و قابليته و نظر الله إليه كناية عن نهاية اللطف و الرحمة.

Note (by Majlisi) – ‘He would look at Allahazwj’, is a metaphor about the peak of recognition in accordance to his strength, and his ability, and ‘Allahazwj will Look at him’, is a metaphor about the peak of the kindness and the mercy’’.⁸¹

And the disavow-ment from the breakers (of the allegiance), and the renegades, and the deviants is Obligatory, and the disavow-ment from the monuments and the (divining) arrows of the imams of straying and tyrannical guides, all of them, the first of them and the last of them, is Obligatory, and the disavowment from the wretched of the former ones and the latter ones, the slayer of the she-camel of Samood, killer of Amir Al-Momineenasws, is Obligatory.

وَ كَأَنَّ أَبْوَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ قَدْ فُتِحَتْ لِأَهْلِهَا فَهَنِيئاً لِأَهْلِ الرَّحْمَةِ رَحْمَتُهُمْ وَ التَّعْسُ‏ لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ وَ النَّارُ لَهُمْ

And it is as if the gates of Mercy have been opened for its rightful ones, so congratulations for the people of Mercy of their Mercy and the despair to the inhabitants of the Fire, and of the Fire being for them.

يَا حُبَيْشُ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ أَ مُحِبٌّ لَنَا أَمْ مُبْغِضٌ فَلْيَمْتَحِنْ قَلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ يُحِبُّ وَلِيّاً لَنَا فَلَيْسَ بِمُبْغِضٍ لَنَا وَ إِنْ كَانَ يُبْغِضُ وَلِيّاً لَنَا فَلَيْسَ بِمُحِبٍّ لَنَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى‏أَخَذَ الْمِيثَاقَ لِمُحِبِّينَا بِمَوَدَّتِنَا وَ كَتَبَ فِي الذِّكْرِ اسْمَ مُبْغِضِنَا نَحْنُ النُّجَبَاءُ وَ أَفْرَاطُنَا أَفْرَاطُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ.

O Hubeysh! One whom it cheers to know whether he is (from the) ones who loves usasws or a hater, then let him examine his heart. If he loves ourasws friend, then he isn’t a hater to usasws, and if he was a hater of a friend of oursasws, then he isn’t one who loves usasws. Allahazwj the Exalted Took the Covenant for one who loves usasws with ourasws cordiality, and wrote in the Reminder (Al-Zikr) the name of one who hates usasws. Weasws are the excellent ones. Ourasws matters are the matters of the Prophetsas’’.⁸⁵

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws), (and) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbar’, (and) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Rezaasws’, (and) ‘Illal Al Sharaie’ –

‘By his chain to Abu Muhammad Al Askariasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to one of hissaww companions one day: ‘O servant of Allahazwj! Love for the Sake of Allahazwj and hate for the Sake of Allahazwj, and befriend for the Sake of Allahazwj and be inimical for the Sake of Allahazwj, for surely the Wilayah (submission) cannot be achieved except by that.

وَ لَا يَجِدُ رَجُلٌ طَعْمَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ إِنْ كَثُرَتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَ صِيَامُهُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ كَذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ صَارَتْ مُؤَاخَاةُ النَّاسِ يَوْمَكُمْ هَذَا أَكْثَرُهَا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَيْهَا يَتَوَادُّونَ وَ عَلَيْهَا يَتَبَاغَضُونَ وَ ذَلِكَ لَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئاً

And no man will find the taste of Eman, and even though his Salat and his Fast may be frequent until he happens to be like that, and the brother-hood of the people in this day of yours, most of it has become regarding (coveting) the world. Upon it they are being cordial, and upon it they are hating each other, and that will not avail them of anything from Allahazwj’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ وَ كَيْفَ لِي أَنْ أَعْلَمَ أَنِّي قَدْ وَالَيْتُ وَ عَادَيْتُ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَّى أُوَالِيَهُ وَ مَنْ عَدُوُّهُ حَتَّى أُعَادِيَهُ

He said to himsaww, ‘And how can it be for me to know I have befriended and been inimical for the Sake of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, and who is the friend of Allahazwj until I befriend him and who is Hisazwj enemy until I be inimical to him?’

فَأَشَارَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ أَ تَرَى هَذَا فَقَالَ بَلَى قَالَ وَلِيُّ هَذَا وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ فَوَالِهِ وَ عَدُوُّ هَذَا عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ فَعَادِهِ

Rasool-Allahsaww gestured for him towards Aliasws and said: ‘Do you see this one?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Hesaww said: ‘A friend of hisasws is a friend of Allahazwj, so befriend himasws, and an enemy of this oneasws is an enemy of Allahazwj so be inimical to him’.

قَالَ وَالِ وَلِيَّ هَذَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ قَاتِلُ أَبِيكَ وَ وُلْدِكَ وَ عَادِ عَدُوَّ هَذَا وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُ أَبُوكَ أَوْ وُلْدُكَ‏.

Hesaww said: ‘Befriend a friend of this oneasws and even if he is a killer of your father and your son, and be inimical to an enemy of this oneasws and even if he is your father or your son’’.⁸⁷

‘A number (of people) came to Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws Bin Aliasws and they said, ‘The clan of Ammina have sent a delegation to Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan seeking his grants and his awards, and we have come as a delegation to youasws as connecting to Rasool-Allahsaww’.

‘Which handhold of the Eman is firmest?’ They (people) said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww are more knowing’. Heasws said: ‘Say it’. They said, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww, (it is) the Salat’. Heasws said: ‘For the Salat there is superiority, but it isn’t Salat’.

Heasws said: ‘For (month of) Ramazan there is superiority, and it isn’t (month of) Ramazan’. They said, ‘It is the Hajj and the Umrah’. Heasws said: ‘For the Hajj and the Umrah there is superiority, and it isn’t Hajj and Umrah’.

Tafseer Al-Ayyashi – From Abu Hamza Al Sumali who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘O Abu Hamza! But rather, he worships Allahazwj, the one who recognises Allahazwj, and as for the one who does not recognise Allahazwj, is it as if he worships someone else, that is how he strays’.

I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! And was is the recognition of Allahazwj?’ Heasws said: ‘He ratifies Allahazwj, and ratifies Muhammadsaww as being Rasool-Allahsaww regarding the Wilayah of Aliasws and make an Imamasws with himasws, and with the Imamsasws of guidance from after himasws, and the disavow-ment to Allahazwj from theirasws enemies, and like that is the recognition of Allahazwj’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! Which thing, when I know it, the reality of the Eman would be completed?’ Heasws said: ‘Befriending the friends of Allahazwj, and being inimical to the enemies of Allahazwj and be with the truthful ones, just as Allahazwj has Commanded you to’.

I said, ‘And who are the enemies of Allahazwj? May Allahazwj Keep youasws well!’ Heasws said: ‘The idols are four’. I said, ‘And who are they?’ Heasws said: ‘Abu Al-Fuseyl, and Rumu’u, and No’sal, and Muawiya, and the one who makes it a religion with their religion. So, the one who is inimical to them, so he has been inimical to the enemies of Allahazwj’’.⁹⁵

And it was said to Al-Sadiqasws, ‘So and so befriends you except that he is weak from the disavowment from yourasws enemies’. Heasws said: ‘Far be it! He lies, the one who claims having ourasws love and does not disavow from ourasws enemies’’.⁹⁷

19- وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَمَالُ الدِّينِ وَلَايَتُنَا وَ الْبَرَاءَةُ مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا

And it is reported from Al-Rezaasws having said: ‘The perfection of Religion is ourasws Wilayah, and the disavowment from ourasws enemies’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ الصَّفْوَانِيُّ وَ اعْلَمْ‏ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتِمُّ الْوَلَايَةُ وَ لَا تَخْلُصُ الْمَحَبَّةُ وَ لَا تَثْبُتُ الْمَوَدَّةُ لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَّا بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ قَرِيباً كَانَ أَوْ بَعِيداً فَلَا تَأْخُذْكَ بِهِ رَأْفَةٌ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ‏ لا تَجِدُ قَوْماً يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَوْ كانُوا آباءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْناءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ‏ الْآيَةَ.

20- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام‏ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَنْعِقُ بِما لا يَسْمَعُ إِلَّا دُعاءً وَ نِداءً صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لا يَعْقِلُونَ

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – Words of Mighty and Majestic: And an example of those who are committing Kufr (disbelieving) is like an example of those who croak with what is not heard except for a call and a cry. (They are) deaf, dumb, blind, so they are not understanding [2:171].

‏ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي عِبَادَتِهِمْ لِلْأَصْنَامِ وَ اتِّخَاذِهِمُ الْأَنْدَادَ مِنْ دُونِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَنْعِقُ بِما لا يَسْمَعُ‏ يُصَوِّتُ بِمَا لَا يَسْمَعُ‏ إِلَّا دُعاءً وَ نِداءً لَا يَفْهَمُ مَا يُرَادُ مِنْهُ فَيُغِيثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثَ وَ يُعِينَ مَنِ اسْتَعَانَهُ‏

The Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: And an example of those who are committing Kufr (disbelieving) – during their worshipping of the idols, and their taking the rivals from besides Muhammadsaww and Aliasws – Salawat be upon themasws both, is like an example of those who croak with what is not heard – making a sound with what is not heard, except for a call and a cry – it is not understood what is intended from it, so the helper would help the one seeking help, and assist the one seeking his assistance.

صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ‏ عَنِ الْهُدَى فِي اتِّبَاعِهِمُ الْأَنْدَادَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَ الْأَضْدَادَ لِأَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ سَمَّوْهُمْ بِأَسْمَاءِ خِيَارِ خَلَائِقِ اللَّهِ‏ وَ لَقَّبُوهُمْ بِأَلْقَابِ أَفَاضِلِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الَّذِينَ نَصَبَهُمُ اللَّهُ لِإِقَامَةِ دِينِ اللَّهِ‏ فَهُمْ لا يَعْقِلُونَ‏ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

(They are) deaf, dumb, blind – from the Guidance, with regards to their following the rivals from besides Allahazwj, and the opposites of the Guardiansasws of Allahazwj, those Heazwj Named themasws as the nest of the Caliphs of Allahazwj, and Entitled them with the titles of preferable Imamsasws, those whom Allahazwj Appointed for the establishment of the Religion of Allahazwj, so they are not understanding – the Command of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع هَذَا فِي عُبَّادِ الْأَصْنَامِ وَ فِي النُّصَّابِ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ص وَ عُتَاةِ مَرَدَتِهِمْ سَوْفَ يُصَيِّرُونَهُمْ إِلَى الْهَاوِيَةِ

Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘This is regarding the worship of the idols, and regarding the Nasibi’s) hostility to the Peopleasws of the Household of Muhammadsaww, Prophetsaww of Allahazwj. They (Nasibis) are the followers of Ibleesla and the hardened ones of hisla renegades. Soon they would be going to the Abyss.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ‏ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَإِنَّ مَنْ تَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ أَعَاذَهُ اللَّهُ وَ نَعُوذُ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِهِ وَ نَفَخَاتِهِ وَ نَفَثَاتِهِ أَ تَدْرُونَ مَا هِيَ أَمَّا هَمَزَاتُهُ فَمَا يُلْقِيهِ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْ مِنْ بُغْضِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Seek Refuge with Allahazwj from the Pelted Satanla, for the one who seeks Refuge with Allahazwj from himla, Allahazwj would Shelter him – and seek Refuge – from hisla whispering suggestions, and hisla blowing, and hisla puffing. Do you know what it is? As for hisla whispering suggestions, so it is what hela casts into your hearts from (having) ourasws hatred, of the Peopleasws of the Household.

قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ كَيْفَ نُبْغِضُكُمْ بَعْدَ مَا عَرَفْنَا مَحَلَّكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْزِلَتَكُمْ قَالَ ص بِأَنْ تُبْغِضُوا أَوْلِيَاءَنَا وَ تُحِبُّوا أَعْدَاءَنَا فَاسْتَعِيذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنَ مَحَبَّةِ أَعْدَائِنَا وَ عَدَاوَةِ أَوْلِيَائِنَا فَتَعَاذُوا مِنْ بُغْضِنَا وَ عَدَاوَتِنَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَعْدَاءَنَا فَقَدْ عَادَانَا وَ نَحْنُ مِنْهُ بِرَاءٌ وَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْهُ بَرِي‏ءٌ.

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And how can we have hatred for youasws all after yousaww making us recognise yourasws places from Allahazwj and yourasws statuses?’ Hesaww said: ‘By your hating ourasws friends and loving ourasws enemies. Therefore, seek Refuge with Allahazwj from having the love of ourasws enemies, and enmity of ourasws friends. So, seek Refuge from having ourasws hatred and ourasws enmity, for the one who loves ourasws enemies, so he has been inimical to usasws, and weasws are disavowed from him, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Disavowed from him’’.⁹⁹

And the Prophetsaww said: ‘One who rejects Aliasws of hisasws Imamate, so rather he has rejected mysaww Prophet-hood, and one who rejects mysaww Prophet-hood so he has rejected Hisazwj Lordship’.

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لِعَلِيٍّ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ الْمَظْلُومُ بَعْدِي مَنْ ظَلَمَكَ فَقَدْ ظَلَمَنِي وَ مَنْ أَنْصَفَكَ فَقَدْ أَنْصَفَنِي وَ مَنْ جَحَدَكَ فَقَدْ جَحَدَنِي وَ مَنْ وَالاكَ فَقَدْ وَالانِي وَ مَنْ عَادَاكَ فَقَدْ عَادَانِي وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَكَ فَقَدْ أَطَاعَنِي وَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي

And the Prophetsaww said to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws will be the oppressed one after mesaww. One who is unjust to youasws, so he is unjust to me, and one who is fair with youasws, so he has been fair with mesaww, and one who rejects youasws so he has rejected mesaww, and one who befriends youasws so he has befriended mesaww, and one who has been inimical to youasws so he has been inimical to mesaww, and the one who obeys youasws so he has obeyed mesaww, and one who disobeys youasws so he has disobeyed mesaww’.

And the Prophetsaww said: ‘The Imamsasws from after mesaww are twelve Imamsasws. The first of themasws is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and their last oneasws is Al-Qaimasws. Obedience to themasws is obedience to mesaww, and disobedience to themasws is disobedience to mesaww. One who denies one of themasws so he has denied mesaww’’.

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ مَنْ شَكَّ فِي كُفْرِ أَعْدَائِنَا وَ الظَّالِمِينَ لَنَا فَهُوَ كَافِرٌ.

And Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘One who doubts in the Kufr of ourasws enemies and the ones who were oppressive to usasws, so he is a Kafir’.

And Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws said: ‘Iasws have not cease to be oppressed since myasws motherasws gave measws birth, to the extent that Aqeel was afflicted with sore eyes, so he said, ‘Do not leave me until you leave Aliasws’. So, Iasws was left and there was no sore eyes with measws’.

O Aliasws! By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Prophet-hood and Chose mesaww over the entirety of the created beings! If a servant were to worship Allahazwj for a thousand years, that would not be Accepted from him, except with yourasws Wilayah and Wilayah of the Imamsasws from yourasws sonsasws, and yourasws Wilayah is not Acceptable except with the disavowment from yourasws enemies and enemies of the Imamsasws from yourasws sons is with that. Jibraeelas informed mesaww: So the one who so desires to, let him believe, and the one who so desires to, let him disbelieve’. [18:29]’’.¹⁰¹

It was opened and therein was found (written): ‘The most excessive of the people to Allahazwj is the killer of other than his killer, and the hitter to other than his hitter, and one who innovates an innovation or shelters an innovator, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj, and the Angels, and the people in their entirety. Allahazwj will neither Accept from him any exchange, nor any replacement, and one who follows to other than his Mastersasws, so he has committed Kufr with what Allahazwj Revealed unto Muhammadsaww’’.¹⁰⁶

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – Ibn Al Waleed, from Ibn Aban, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat, from Aban, from Is’haq Bin Ibrahim Al Sayqal who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘A parchment was found in the sheath of the sword of Rasool-Allahsaww and there was written in it: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. The most excessive of the people to Allahazwj on the Day of Qiyamah would be the one who kills other than his killer, and one who hits other than his hitter, and one who follows other than his Mastersasws, so he is a Kafir with what Allahazwj the Exalted Revealed unto Muhammadsaww, and one who innovates an innovation, or shelters an innovator, Allahazwj will not Accept from him on the Day of Qiyamah, neither any exchange nor any replacement’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ تَدْرِي مَا يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ مَنْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ قُلْتُ مَا يَعْنِي بِقَوْلِهِ قَالَ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الدِّينِ‏ وَ الصَّرْفُ‏ التَّوْبَةُ فِي قَوْلِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ الْعَدْلُ الْفِدَاءُ فِي قَوْلِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws said: ‘Do you know what is the meaning of hissaww words: ‘One who follows other than his Mastersasws’?’ I said, ‘What is the meaning of hissaww words?’ Heasws said: ‘The people of religion’. And the ‘exchange’ is the repentance in the words of Abu Ja’farasws, and the ‘replacement’ is the ransom in the words of Abu Abdullahasws’’.¹⁰⁷

Note: -

What is reported by Al Sadouq in (the book) ‘Al Illal’, by his chain from Jameel,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww cursed the one who innovated an innovation in Al-Medina, or sheltered an innovator’. I said, ‘And what was that innovation?’ Heasws said: ‘The killing’’.

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Ibn Al Mutawakkal, from Al Sa’ad Abady, from Al Barqy, from Al Bazanty, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Ibn Abu Yafour,

‘From Al-Sadiq Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww addressed the people during the farewell Hajj at Mina, in Masjid Al-Khief. Hesaww praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘May Allahazwj Freshen a servant who hears mysaww words and retains it, then delivers it to the one who did not hear it, for sometimes his understanding would be carrier it to one who is without understanding, and sometimes his understanding would be carried to one who is more understanding than him.

ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ وَ النَّصِيحَةُ لِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ اللُّزُومُ لِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ مُحِيطَةٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِخْوَةٌ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ هُمْ‏ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ‏.

Three would have no grudge upon them – heart of a Muslim person sincere in the deed for Allahazwj, and the advice of the Imamsasws of the Muslims, and the necessitation of theirasws group, for theirasws call is inclusive of (the ones to come) behind them. The Muslims are brethren, their blood suffices each other. Their lowest strive with their responsibilities, they have a hand (favour) upon the ones besides them’’.¹¹⁰

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Majaylawiya, from his uncle, from Haroun, from Ibn Ziyad,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws fatherasws: ‘The Prophetsaww said: ‘Three are grave sins – breaking the allegiance, and neglecting the Sunnah, and separating (from) the community; and three are rescuers – restraining your tongue, and crying over your mistakes (sins), and staying in your house’’.¹¹¹

5- فس، تفسير القمي‏ إِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ‏ قَالَ نَزَلَتْ بِمِنًى فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ‏ إِذا جاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ‏ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نُعِيَتْ إِلَيَّ نَفْسِي فَجَاءَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَجَمَعَ النَّاسَ

Tafseer Al-Qummi - When Help of Allah comes and the victory [110:1]. He said, ‘It was Revealed at Mina during the Farewell Hajj: When Help of Allah comes and the victory [110:1]. When it was Revealed, Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww give the news of mysaww passing away, to myselfsaww’. Then hesaww went to Masjid Al- Khief, and the people gathered.

ثُمَّ قَالَ نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَوَعَاهَا وَ بَلَّغَهَا مَنْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْهَا فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ غَيْرُ فَقِيهٍ‏ وَ رُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ

Then hesaww said: ‘May Allahazwj Help the person who hears mysaww speech, and understands it and makes it reach to the one who did not hear it. Perhaps its understanding would be carried by one who does not understand it, and perhaps its understanding would be carried to the one who is more understanding than him.

ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ وَ النَّصِيحَةُ لِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ اللُّزُومُ لِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ مُحِيطَةٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ

There are three things which the heart of a Muslim person would not cheat in – sincerity of the deeds for the Sake of Allahazwj, and the advice of the Imamsasws of the Muslims, and the necessary needs of their groups, for their calling encompasses the ones who are to come after them.

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمْ مَا إِنْ تَمَسَّكْتُمْ‏ بِهِ لَنْ تَضِلُّوا وَ لَنْ تَزِلُّوا كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَ عِتْرَتِي أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ نَبَّأَنِيَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ أَنَّهُمَا لَنْ يَفْتَرِقَا حَتَّى يَرِدَا عَلَيَّ الْحَوْضَ كَإِصْبَعَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ وَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ سَبَّابَتَيْهِ وَ لَا أَقُولُ كَهَاتَيْنِ وَ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ سَبَّابَتِهِ وَ الْوُسْطَى فَتَفْضُلَ هَذِهِ عَلَى هَذِهِ‏.

O you people! Isaww leave among you two weighty things. The one, who attaches himself to these two will never go astray nor will he lead anyone astray – The Book of Allahazwj and mysaww Family, the Peopleasws of mysaww Household. The Kind and the Aware has Given mesaww the News that these two would never separate until they return to the Fountain like these two fingers’ – and hesaww joined hissaww two forefingers – ‘and Isaww am not saying like these’ – and hesaww joined hissaww forefinger and the middle one – ‘So this would be preferable over the other (meaning both from the right hand, the virtuous ones)’’.¹¹²

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, from one of our companions, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Hakam Bin Miskeen, from a man from Quraysh, from the people of Makkah who said,

‘Sufyan Al-Sowry said, ‘Come with us to Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws’. So I went with him to himasws, and we found himasws to have ridden hisasws animal. So Sufyan said to himasws: ‘O Abu Abdullahasws! Narrate to us with the Hadeeth of the address of Rasool-Allahsaww in Masjid Al- Khief’. Heasws said: ‘Leave measws until Iasws go regarding myasws need, for Iasws have already mounted. So when Iasws come back, Iasws shall narrate to you’.

فَقَالَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِقَرَابَتِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا حَدَّثْتَنِي قَالَ فَنَزَلَ فَقَالَ مُرْ لِي‏ بِدَوَاةٍ وَ قِرْطَاسٍ حَتَّى أُثْبِتَهُ فَدَعَا بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اكْتُبْ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ خُطْبَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ عَبْداً سَمِعَ مَقَالَتِي فَوَعَاهَا وَ بَلَّغَهَا مَنْ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ

He said: ‘I ask youasws by yourasws relationship from Rasool-Allahsaww why not narrate to me?’ So heasws descended, and Sufyan said to himasws, ‘Order with the ink and the paper until I affirm it’. Heasws called for it, then said: ‘Write! In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rasool-Allahsaww addressed the people in Masjid Al- Khief: ‘May Allahazwj Flourish a servant who hears mysaww speech, so he retains it and delivers it to the one whom it has not reached.

يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لِيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ وَ رُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ وَ النَّصِيحَةُ لِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ اللُّزُومُ لِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ مُحِيطَةٌ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ إِخْوَةٌ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَدٌ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ يَسْعَى بِذِمَّتِهِمْ أَدْنَاهُمْ

O you people! Let the ones present deliver it to the absent ones, so sometimes the bearer isn’t with his understanding, and sometimes the bearer delivers it to the one who is more understanding that him. Three would not be begrudged upon by a heart of a Muslim person – Sincerity of the deed for Allahazwj, and the advice of the Imamsasws of the Muslims, and the necessity to theirasws gatherings, for theirasws invitation would be encompassing from their backs. The Momineen are brethren, their bloods are a match for each other and they are one hand against the ones besides them, their lowest one striving for their responsibilities’’.

فَكَتَبَهُ‏ ثُمَّ عَرَضَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَكِبَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ جِئْتُ أَنَا وَ سُفْيَانُ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ فَقَالَ لِي كَمَا أَنْتَ حَتَّى أَنْظُرَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ وَ اللَّهِ أَلْزَمَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَقَبَتَكَ شَيْئاً لَا يَذْهَبُ مِنْ رَقَبَتِكَ أَبَداً فَقَالَ وَ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ذَلِكَ

Sufyan wrote it, then displayed it to himasws, and Abu Abdullahasws mounted, and I and Sufyan came back. When we were in one of the roads, he said to me, ‘Stay as you are until I look into this Hadeeth’. I said to him, ‘But, by Allahazwj, Abu Abdullahasws has necessitated something on your neck which will never go away from your neck, ever!’ He said, ‘And which thing is that?’

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ ثَلَاثٌ لَا يُغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ قَدْ عَرَفْنَاهُ وَ النَّصِيحَةُ لِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الْأَئِمَّةُ الَّذِينَ يَجِبُ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيحَتُهُمْ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ وَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ وَ كُلُّ مَنْ لَا تَجُوزُ شَهَادَتُهُ عِنْدَنَا وَ لَا تَجُوزُ الصَّلَاةُ خَلْفَهُمْ

I said to him, ‘Three would not be begrudged upon by a heart of a Muslim person – Sincerity of the deed for Allahazwj. We have recognised it. And the advice of the Imamsasws of the Muslim. Who are these Imamsasws whose advice is obligated upon us? Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan, and Yazeed Bin Muawiya, and Marwan Bin Al-Hakam, and every one who testimony is not allowed with us, and praying Salat behind them is not allowed?

وَ قَوْلُهُ وَ اللُّزُومُ لِجَمَاعَتِهِمْ فَأَيُّ الْجَمَاعَةِ مُرْجِئٌ يَقُولُ مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ وَ لَمْ يَصُمْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ مِنْ جَنَابَةٍ وَ هَدَمَ الْكَعْبَةَ وَ نَكَحَ أُمَّهُ فَهُوَ عَلَى إِيمَانِ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ أَوْ قَدَرِيٌّ يَقُولُ لَا يَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ إِبْلِيسُ أَوْ حَرُورِيٌّ يَبْرَأُ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْكُفْرِ أَوْ جَهْمِيٌّ يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا هِيَ مَعْرِفَةُ اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَيْسَ الْإِيمَانُ شَيْ‏ءٌ غَيْرَهَا

And hissaww words: ‘and the necessity to theirasws gatherings’. So which gathering? The Murjiites are saying, ‘The one who does not pray Salat, and does not Fast, and does not wash from sexual impurities, and demolishes the Kabah, and marries his own mother, so he is upon the faith of Jibraeelas and Mikaeelas? Of the Qadiriites who are saying, ‘What Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Desires may not happen and what Ibleesla so desires may happen’? Or the Harouiryya who are disavowing from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and are testifying upon himasws with the disbelief? Or the Jahmiys who are saying, ‘But rather it is the recognition that Allahazwj is One, there isn’t the Eman anything other than it?’

قَالَ وَيْحَكَ وَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَقُولُونَ فَقُلْتُ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ اللَّهِ الْإِمَامُ الَّذِي يَجِبُ عَلَيْنَا نَصِيحَتُهُ وَ لُزُومُ جَمَاعَتِهِمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْكِتَابَ فَخَرَقَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تُخْبِرْ بِهَا أَحَداً.

He said, ‘Woe be unto you! And which thing was heasws saying: ‘I said, ‘Heasws is saying that Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, by Allahazwj, is the Imamasws whose advice is Obligated upon us, and the necessitation of theirasws gatherings, the Peopleasws of hissaww Household’. He brought out the letter and burnt it, then said, ‘Do not inform anyone with it’’.¹¹³

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The one who separates from a group of Muslims by a limit of a palms width, so he has removed the bond of allegiance with Al-Islam from his neck’’.¹¹⁵

باب 4 ثواب حبهم و نصرهم و ولايتهم و أنها أمان من النار

CHAPTER 4 – REWARDS OF LOVING THEMasws, AND HELPING THEMasws, AND THEIRasws WILAYAH, AND IT IS A SECURITY FROM THE FIRE

الآيات المائدة إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ يُؤْتُونَ الزَّكاةَ وَ هُمْ راكِعُونَ

The Verses – (Surah) Al-Maaidah: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, those who are establishing the Salat and are giving the Zakat while they are performing Ruku [5:55]

وَ مَنْ يَتَوَلَّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا فَإِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْغالِبُونَ‏

And whoever takes Allah and His Rasool and those who believe for a Guardian, then they are the party of Allah, they would be triumphant [5:56].

إبراهيم‏ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ وَ ارْزُقْهُمْ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَشْكُرُونَ‏

(Surah) Ibrahimas: Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them and Sustain them from the fruits, perhaps they would be grateful [14:37].

Notes: -

وَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع فِيمَا رَوَاهُ الْعَيَّاشِيُّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمْ يَعْنِ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ أَنْتُمْ أُولَئِكَ وَ نُظَرَاؤُكُمْ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُكُمْ فِي النَّاسِ مَثَلُ الشَّعْرَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فِي الثَّوْرِ الْأَسْوَدِ.

And from Al-Baqirasws among what is reported by Al-Ayyashi having said: ‘It does not mean the People, all of them. You (Shias) are them, and your peers. But rather, your example among the people is like an example of the white hair in the black bull’’.

وَ فِي الْكَافِي، عَنْهُ ع‏ وَ لَمْ يَعْنِ الْبَيْتَ فَيَقُولَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ دَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع‏.

And in (the book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From himasws: ‘And it does not mean the House (Kabah) heas was calling to. By Allahazwj! Weasws are the supplication of Ibrahimas’’.

وَ فِي الْإِحْتِجَاجِ، عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ وَ الْأَفْئِدَةُ مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْنَا وَ ذَلِكَ دَعْوَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع حَيْثُ قَالَ‏ فَاجْعَلْ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْهِمْ‏.

And in (the book) Al-Ihtijaj’ – From Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘And the hearts of the people incline towards usasws, and that is the supplication of Ibrhimas where heas said: ‘Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37].

وَ فِي الْبَصَائِرِ، عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ وَ جَعَلَ أَفْئِدَةً مِنَ النَّاسِ تَهْوِي إِلَيْنَا.

And in (the book) ‘Al-Basaair’ – From Al-Sadiqasws: ‘And make the hearts of the people to incline towards usasws’’.

وَ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنَى بِقَوْلِهِ‏ وَ ارْزُقْهُمْ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ‏ ثَمَرَاتِ الْقُلُوبِ‏ أَيْ حُبِّهِمْ إِلَى النَّاسِ لِيَأْتُوا إِلَيْهِمْ-.

And it is reported by Ali Bin Ibrahim, ‘From Al-Sadiqasws: ‘Heazwj is more Exalted to Mean by Hisazwj Words: and Sustain them from the fruits [14:37] – fruits of the hearts, i.e., theirasws love to the people for them to go to themasws’’.

Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted boasts with you and Forgives for you all generally and for Aliasws in particular, and Isaww am Rasool-Allahsaww to you, without being partial to mysaww relatives.

This is Jibraeelas informing mesaww that the fortunate of all fortunate ones, as is the right of being fortunate, is one who loves Aliasws during hisasws lifetime and after hisasws passing away, and the wretched of all wretched is one who hates Aliasws during hisasws lifetime and after hisasws passing away’’.¹¹⁷

(The books) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al Rezaasws’ (and) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab, from Mansour Bin Abdullah Al Asbahany, from Ali Bin Abdullah, from Dawood Bin Suleyman,

‘From Al-Rezaasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Four, Iazwj shall intercede for them on the Day of Qiyamah, and even if he comes to me with the sins of (all) the people of the earth – A supporter of Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and the fulfiller for themasws of theirasws needs of what theyasws are desperate to it, and the one loving themasws with his heart, and his tongue, and the defender from themasws by his hands’’.¹²⁶

I (Majlisi) am saying – It is reported by Ibn Shabrama in (the book) ‘Al-Firdows’ – From Aliasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Four, Isaww shall intercede for them on the Day of Qiyamah – the one honouring to mysaww offspring, and the fulfiller for themasws of theirasws needs, and the striver for themasws regarding theirasws matters at what theyasws are desperate to it, and the one loving themasws with his heart, and his tongue’’.¹²⁷

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Muhammad Bin Fazl Bin Zaydawiya, from Ibrahim Bin Umrous Al Hamdany, from Al Hassan Bin Ismail, from Saeed Bin Al Hakam, from his father, from Al Awzaie, from Yahya Bin Abu Kaseer, from Abu Salama, from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One whom Allahazwj Graces the love of the Imamsasws from Peopleasws of mysaww Household, so he has achieved good of the world and the Hereafter, therefore no one should doubt that he would be in the Paradise, for the love of Peopleasws of mysaww Household has twenty characteristics, ten of these in the world and ten in the Hereafter.

أَمَّا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَالزُّهْدُ وَ الْحِرْصُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ‏ وَ الْوَرَعُ فِي الدِّينِ وَ الرَّغْبَةُ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ وَ التَّوْبَةُ قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ وَ النَّشَاطُ فِي قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ وَ الْيَأْسُ مِمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَ الْحِفْظُ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ نَهْيِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ التَّاسِعَةُ بُغْضُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْعَاشِرَةُ السَّخَاءُ

As for in the world – It is the ascetism, and the eagerness upon the (righteous) deeds, and the devoutness in the Religion, and the desire in the worship, and the repentance before the death, and the activity during standing (for Salat) at night, and the despair from what is in the hands of the people, and the preservation of the Commands of Allahazwj and the Prohibitions of the Mighty and Majestic, and the ninth is hatred of the world, and the tenth is generosity.

وَ أَمَّا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَلَا يُنْشَرُ لَهُ دِيوَانٌ وَ لَا يُنْصَبُ لَهُ مِيزَانٌ وَ يُعْطَى كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يَبْيَضُّ وَجْهُهُ وَ يُكْسَى مِنْ حُلَلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ يُشَفَّعُ فِي مِائَةٍ مِنْ‏ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ يُتَوَّجُ مِنْ تِيجَانِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْعَاشِرَةُ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

And as for regarding the Hereafter – the register (of deed) would not be publicised for him, nor would the scale be set up for him, and he would be given his book in his right hand, and freedom would be written for him from the Fire, and his face would be whitened, and he would be clothed from the garments of the Paradise, and he would (be able to) intercede regarding one hundred of his family members, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Look at (Consider) him with the Mercy, and he would be crowned from the crowns of the Paradise, and the tenth, he would enter the Paradise without Reckoning.

فَطُوبَى لِمُحِبِّي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي‏.

So, beatitude be for the one who loves Peopleasws of mysaww Household’’.¹²⁸

‘We entered to see Masrouq Al-Ajda’a, and there in his presence was a guest of his. We did not recognise him and they were both partaking from a meal of theirs. The guest said, ‘I was with Rasool-Allahsaww at Khyber (Hunayn)’. When he said it, we recognised that there was companionship for him with the Prophetsaww.

قَالَ جَاءَتْ صَفِيَّةُ بِنْتُ حُيَيِّ بْنِ أَخْطَبَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَسْتُ كَأَحَدِ نِسَائِكَ قَتَلْتَ الْأَبَ وَ الْأَخَ وَ الْعَمَّ فَإِنْ حَدَثَ بِكَ حَدَثٌ فَإِلَى مَنْ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى هَذَا وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

He (the guest) said, ‘Safiyya Bint Huyay Bin Akhtab came to the Prophetsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I am not like any of yourasws women. Yousaww killed (my) father, and the brother and the uncle. Supposing it occurs with yousaww an event (of death), then to whom (shall I depend on)?’ Rasool-Allahsaww said to her: ‘To this oneasws’, and hesaww indicated to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَا أُحَدِّثُكُمْ بِمَا حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ الْحَارِثُ الْأَعْوَرُ قَالَ قُلْنَا بَلَى قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ يَا أَعْوَرُ قَالَ قُلْتُ حُبُّكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ اللَّهَ‏ قُلْتُ اللَّهَ

Then he (the guest) said, ‘Shall I narrate to you all with what Al-Haris Al-Awr had narrated to me with?’ We said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I entered to see Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Heasws said: ‘What have you come for, O Awr!’ I said, ‘Yourasws love, O Amir Al-Momineenasws!’ Heasws said: ‘(By) Allahazwj?’ I said, ‘(By) Allahazwj’.

فَنَاشَدَنِي ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مِمَّنِ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ بِالْإِيمَانِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ مَوَدَّتَنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهِ فَهُوَ يُحِبُّنَا وَ لَيْسَ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مِمَّنْ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَجِدُ بُغْضَنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهِ فَهُوَ يُبْغِضُنَا

Heasws adjured me thrice, then said: ‘But surely, there isn’t any servant from the servants of Allahazwj, from the ones whom heart Allahazwj has Tested for the Eman, except and he would find ourasws cordiality upon his heart, so he would love usasws; and there isn’t any servant from the servants of Allahazwj from the ones Allahazwj is Wrathful upon, except and he would find hatred for usasws upon his heart, so he would hate us.

فَأَصْبَحَ مُحِبُّنَا يَنْتَظِرُ الرَّحْمَةَ فَكَأَنَّ أَبْوَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ قَدْ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ وَ أَصْبَحَ مُبْغِضُنَا عَلى‏ شَفا جُرُفٍ هارٍ فَانْهارَ بِهِ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ‏ فَهَنِيئاً لِأَهْلِ الرَّحْمَةِ رَحْمَتُهُمْ وَ تَعْساً لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ مَثْوَاهُمْ‏.

Thus, one who loves usasws would become awaiting the Mercy, and it is as if the gates of Mercy have opened up for him, and one hating usasws would become, upon the brink of a cliff so it collapses with him into the Fire of Hell? [9:109]. So, congratulations to the people of Mercy of their Mercy, and misery would be for the people of the Fire of their abode’’.¹³⁵

‘I, and Umar Bin Al-Khattab were seated in the presence of the Prophetsaww, and Aliasws was seated to hissaww side, when Rasool-Allahsaww recited: Or, One Who Answers the distressed one when he supplicates to Him and He Removes the evil, and He will Make you to be Caliphs of the earth! [27:62].

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed, from Ibn Qaswlawiya, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ibn Isa, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, from Salih Bin Maysam Al Tammar, he (the narrator) said,

‘It is found in the book of Maysam saying, ‘We spent the evening in the presence of Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Heasws said to us: ‘There isn’t any servant Allahazwj has Tested his heart for the Eman except he becomes finding ourasws cordiality upon his heart, and a servant cannot become such Allahazwj is Wrathful upon him except he would find hatred for usasws upon his heart.

فَأَصْبَحْنَا نَفْرَحُ بِحُبِّ الْمُحِبِّ لَنَا وَ نَعْرِفُ بُغْضَ الْمُبْغِضِ لَنَا وَ أَصْبَحَ مُحِبُّنَا مُغْتَبِطاً بِحُبِّنَا بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَنْتَظِرُهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَ أَصْبَحَ مُبْغِضُنَا يُؤَسِّسُ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ الشَّفَا قَدِ انْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ‏ وَ كَأَنَّ أَبْوَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ قَدْ فُتِحَتْ لِأَصْحَابِ أَهْلِ الرَّحْمَةِ

Weasws become happy with the love of the one loving usasws, and weasws recognise the hatred of the hater to usasws, and one loving usasws becomes exultant by ourasws love with the Mercy from Allahazwj, awaiting it every day, and the hating one becomes laying the foundation of his building upon the edge of the heat (Fire of Hell), and it is as if that edge is rolling with him into the Fire of Hell, and it is as if the gates of Mercy has opened for the companions of the people of Mercy.

فَهَنِيئاً لِأَصْحَابِ الرَّحْمَةِ رَحْمَتُهُمْ وَ تَعْساً لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ مَثْوَاهُمْ إِنَّ عَبْداً لَنْ يَقْصُرَ فِي حُبِّنَا لِخَيْرٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ لَنْ يُحِبَّنَا مَنْ يُحِبُّ مُبْغِضَنَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَا يَجْتَمِعُ فِي قَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ‏ يُحِبُّ بِهَذَا قَوْماً وَ يُحِبُّ بِالْآخَرِ عَدُوَّهُمْ

So, congratulation for the companions of the Mercy of their Mercy, and misery for the people of the Fire of their abode. A servant will never be deficient regarding ourasws love of the good Allahazwj has Made to be in his heart, and one who loves usasws will never love the one who loves ourasws hater, that is because Allahazwj does not Gather that in one heart, Allah did not Make two hearts for a man to be inside him [33:4], he would love a people with this and loves their enemies with the other.

وَ الَّذِي يُحِبُّنَا فَهُوَ يُخْلِصُ حُبَّنَا كَمَا يُخْلِصُ الذَّهَبَ لَا غِشَّ فِيهِ نَحْنُ النُّجَبَاءُ وَ أَفْرَاطُنَا أَفْرَاطُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

And the one who loves usasws, he would be sincere of ourasws love just as the gold is pure, there being no impurity in it. Weasws are the excellent ones and ourasws matters are the matters of the Prophetsas.

وَ أَنَا وَصِيُّ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ أَنَا حِزْبُ اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ ع وَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطَانِ فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ حَالَهُ فِي حُبِّنَا فَلْيَمْتَحِنْ قَلْبَهُ فَإِنْ وَجَدَ فِيهِ حُبَّ مَنْ أَلَّبَ‏ عَلَيْنَا فَلْيَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَدُوُّهُ وَ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ اللَّهُ عَدُوٌّ لِلْكَافِرِينَ‏.

And Iasws am a successorasws of the successorsas, and Iasws am the party of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww; and the rebellious party is the party of Satanla. So, the one who loves to know his state regarding ourasws love, then let him examine his heart. If he finds in it love for the ones who mobilised against usasws, then let him know that Allahazwj is Hisazwj enemy, and (so is) Jibraeelas, and Mikaeelas, and Allahazwj is the enemy of the Kafirs’’.¹⁴⁰

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Al Warraq, from Sa’ad, from Al Nahdy, from Ibn Ulwan, from Amro Bin Khalid, from Ibn Tareyf, from Ibn Nubata who said,

‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Isaww am chief of the children of Adamas, and youasws O Aliasws and the Imamsasws from after youasws are chiefs of mysaww community.

مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا فَقَدْ أَبْغَضَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ وَالانَا فَقَدْ وَالَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَادَانَا فَقَدْ عَادَى اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَنَا فَقَدْ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ عَصَانَا فَقَدْ عَصَى اللَّهَ‏.

One who loves usasws so he has loved Allahazwj, and one who hates usasws so he has hated Allahazwj, and one who befriends usasws so he has befriended Allahazwj and one who is inimical to usasws so he has been inimical to Allahazwj, and one who obeys usasws so he has obeyed Allahazwj, and one who disobeys usasws so he has disobeyed Allahazwj’’.¹⁵⁴

(The books) ‘Al-Khisaal’ (and) ‘Al-Arbamia’, said, ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘One who adheres with usasws would join up, and one who travels other than ourasws way would drown. For the ones who love usasws, there are waves of Mercy of Allahazwj, and for ones who hates usasws are waves of Wrath of Allahazwj’.

وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ أَعَانَنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ قَاتَلَ مَعَنَا أَعْدَاءَنَا بِيَدِهِ فَهُمْ مَعَنَا فِي دَرَجَتِنَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ أَعَانَنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ لَمْ يُقَاتِلْ مَعَنَا أَعْدَاءَنَا فَهُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِدَرَجَةٍ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ لَمْ يُعِنَّا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ لَا بِيَدِهِ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

And heasws said: ‘One who loves usasws with his heart and supports usasws with his tongue, and fights alongside usasws with his hand, they would be with usasws in ourasws ranks; and one who loves usasws with his heart and supports usasws with his tongue and does not fight alongside usasws against ourasws enemies, he would be lower than that by a rank; and one who loves usasws with his heart and does not support usasws with his tongue nor with his tongue, he would be in the Paradise.

وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ أَعَانَ عَلَيْنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ يَدِهِ فَهُوَ مَعَ عَدُوِّنَا فِي النَّارِ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ لَمْ يُعِنْ عَلَيْنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ لَا بِيَدِهِ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ

And one who hates us with his heart, and supports against usasws with his tongue and his hand, he would be with ourasws enemies in the Fire; and one who hates us with his heart but does not support against usasws with his tongue nor with his hand, he would (still) be in the Fire’.

قَالَ ع أَنَا يَعْسُوبُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمَالُ يَعْسُوبُ الظَّلَمَةِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُحِبُّنِي إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُنِي إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ‏.

‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Rezaasws having said: ‘One whom it cheers that he looks at Allahazwj without any veil, and Allahazwj Looks at him without any veil, then let him be in the Wilayah of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and let him disavow from theirasws enemies, and let him take as an Imamasws with an Imamasws from themasws, for when it will be the Day of Qiyamah Allahazwj will Look at him without any veil and he would look at Allahazwj without any veil’’.¹⁵⁸

(Note by Al Majlisi – Perhaps what is intended by his looking at the Exalted is looking at our Prophetsaww and our Imamsasws, just as has been referred in the Hadeeth, to Hisazwj Mercy and Hisazwj Benevolence, or it is a metaphor about the peak of gnosis; and by the Exalted Looking at him is of Hisazwj Kindness and Hisazwj Favours, and it is a common metaphor in the Quran and the Hadeeth and the speech of the Arabs. The intended by hisasws words: ‘Without any veil’, is without an intermediary)

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – My father, from Hamza Bin Abdullah Al Ja’fary, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Al Sumali,

‘From Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘In the Paradise there are three ranks and in the Fire there are three levels, The top rank of the Paradise is for the one who loves usasws with his heart and helps usasws with his tongue and his hands; and in the second level would be one who loves usasws with his heart and helps usasws with his tongue; and in the third level would be one who loves usasws with his heart.

وَ فِي أَسْفَلِ الدَّرْكِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ أَعَانَ عَلَيْنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ يَدِهِ وَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ أَعَانَ عَلَيْنَا بِلِسَانِهِ وَ فِي الدَّرْكِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا بِقَلْبِهِ‏.

And in the lowest level of the Fire would be one who hates usasws with his heart and assisted against usasws with his tongue and his hands; and in the second level of the Fire would be one who hates usasws with his heart and supports against usasws with his tongue; and in the third level of the Fire would be one who hates usasws with his heart’’.¹⁶⁹

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Mansour Bin Al Abbas, from Ahmad Bin Abdul Raheem, from the one who narrated it, from Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘An example of youasws in mysaww community is an example of: Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed). One who recites it once, then he has recited a third of the Quran, and one who recites it twice, then he has recited two-thirds of the Quran, and one who recites it three times, it is as if he has read the (whole) Quran.

وَ كَذَلِكَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ بِقَلْبِهِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ثُلُثِ ثَوَابِ أَعْمَالِ الْعِبَادِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ بِقَلْبِهِ وَ نَصَرَكَ بِلِسَانِهِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ثُلُثَيْ ثَوَابِ أَعْمَالِ الْعِبَادِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ بِقَلْبِهِ وَ نَصَرَكَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ يَدِهِ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ثَوَابِ الْعِبَادِ.

And similar to that, one who loves youasws with his heart would have for him like a third of the Rewards of the deeds of (all) the servants, and one who loves youasws with his heart and helps youasws with his tongue would have for him the like of two-thirds of the Rewards of (all) the servants, and one who loves youasws with his heart, and helps youasws with his tongue and his hand would have for him like the Rewards of (all) the servants’’.¹⁷⁰

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a who said,

‘I entered to see Abu Ja’farasws and I said, ‘May my father be (sacrificed for) youasws! Sometimes the Satanla is alone with me and my self becomes wicked. Then I remember my love for you (Imamsasws) and my cutting off to youasws, and myself becomes good’.

فَقَالَ يَا زِيَادُ وَيْحَكَ وَ مَا الدِّينُ إِلَّا الْحُبُّ أَ لَا تَرَى إِلَى قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى‏ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ‏.

Heasws said: ‘O Ziyad! Woe be to you! And what is the Religion except the love? Don’t you look at the Words of Allahazwj the Exalted: ‘If you love Allah, then follow me. Allah will Love you [3:31]’’.¹⁷¹

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Bashir Al Dahhan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘You (Shia) are recognised among the many deniers and beloved ones (to usasws) among the many (rows of) haters.

وَ قَدْ يَكُونُ حُبّاً لِلَّهِ فِي اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ حُبّاً فِي الدُّنْيَا فَمَا كَانَ‏ فِي اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ فَثَوَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ مَا كَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا لَيْسَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ

Love for Allahazwj happens to be for the Sake of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and love for the sake of the world. So, whatever was for Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, its Reward is upon Allahazwj, and whatever was for the sake of the world, it isn’t (worth) anything’.

ثُمَّ نَفَضَ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْمُرْجِئَةَ وَ هَذِهِ الْقَدَرِيَّةَ وَ هَذِهِ الْخَوَارِجَ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا يَرَى أَنَّهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ وَ إِنَّكُمْ إِنَّمَا أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا فِي اللَّهِ

Then heasws shook hisasws hand, then said: ‘These Murjiites, and these Qadariyya, and these Khawarijites, there isn’t anyone of them except he views that he is upon the truth, and you (Shias) are rather loving usasws for the Sake of Allahazwj’.

ثُمَّ تَلَا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ‏ وَ ما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَ ما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطاعَ اللَّهَ‏ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ‏.

Then heasws recited: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you [4:59], And whatever the Rasool gives you, so take it, and whatever he forbids you from, then refrain; [59:7] There is one who obeys the Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah, [4:80] ‘If you love Allah, then follow me.

‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws when someone from khurasan arrived walking. He brought out his leg and they had both been covered (with swelling and injuries), and he said, ‘But, by Allahazwj, nothing made me come from where I am coming except love for youasws Peopleasws of the Household’.

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! Even if a stone were to love usasws, Allahazwj would Resurrect it to be with usasws, and is the Religion except the love? Allahazwj is Saying: Say (O Rasool): ‘If you love Allah, then follow me. Allah will Love you [3:31], and Said: And Said: are loving the ones who emigrate to them [59:9].

59- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ عَنْ جَبْرَئِيلَ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا عِبَادِي اعْمَلُوا أَفْضَلَ الطَّاعَاتِ وَ أَعْظَمَهَا لِأُسَامِحَكُمْ وَ إِنْ قَصَّرْتُمْ فِيمَا سِوَاهَا وَ اتْرُكُوا أَعْظَمَ الْمَعَاصِي وَ أَقْبَحَهَا لِئَلَّا أُنَاقِشَكُمْ فِي رُكُوبِ مَا عَدَاهَا

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘The Prophetsaww said from Jibraeelas, from Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: “O Myazwj servants! Perform the most superior of the (acts of) obedience and its greatest one, Iazwj shall be Pardoning you all and even if you are deficient in what is besides this one, and leave the biggest (acts of) disobedience and its ugliest one, Iazwj shall not Discuss your indulgence in what is else.

إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الطَّاعَاتِ تَوْحِيدِي وَ تَصْدِيقُ نَبِيِّي وَ التَّسْلِيمُ لِمَنْ يَنْصِبُهُ‏ بَعْدَهُ وَ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ الطَّاهِرُونَ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ ع

The greatest of the (acts of) obedience is Myazwj Tawheed, and the ratification of Myazwj Prophetsaww, and the submission to the one hesaww appointed to be after himsaww, and heasws is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the Clean Imamsasws, (the Cleaned ones), from hisasws lineage.

وَ إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ الْمَعَاصِي عِنْدِي الْكُفْرُ بِي وَ بِنَبِيِّي وَ مُنَابَذَةُ وَلِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ بَعْدَهُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ بَعْدَهُ

And the biggest (act of) disobedience and its ugliest one in Myazwj Presence is the Kufr with Meazwj and with Myazwj Prophetsaww, and the enmity of the Guardianasws of Muhammadsaww after himsaww, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and hisas Guardiansasws after himasws.

فَإِنْ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَكُونُوا عِنْدِي فِي الْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى وَ الشَّرَفِ الْأَشْرَفِ فَلَا يَكُونَنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي آثَرَ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ عَلِيٍّ وَ بَعْدَهُمَا مِنْ أَبْنَائِهِمَا الْقَائِمِينَ بِأُمُورِ عِبَادِي بَعْدَهُمَا فَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ عَقِيدَتَهُ جَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ أَشْرَفِ‏ مُلُوكِ جِنَانِي

So if you intend that you should be happening to be, in Myazwj Presence, in the lofty landscape, and (have) the nobility of the noble ones, then no one from Myazwj servants should happen to be more preferable with you than Muhammadsaww, and after himsaww, (more preferable) than hissaww brotherasws Aliasws, and after themasws, (more preferable) than theirasws sonsasws, the ones standing with the affair of Myazwj servant after themasws. Therefore, if someone was from these beliefs, Iazwj shall Make him from the most noble kings in Myazwj Garden.

وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ أَبْغَضَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ مَنْ تَمَثَّلَ بِي وَ ادَّعَى رُبُوبِيَّتِي وَ أَبْغَضَهُمْ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَهُ مَنْ تَمَثَّلَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ نَازَعَهُ نُبُوَّتَهُ وَ ادَّعَاهَا وَ أَبْغَضَهُمْ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَهُ مَنْ تَمَثَّلَ بِوَصِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ نَازَعَهُ مَحَلَّهُ وَ شَرَفَهُ وَ ادَّعَاهُمَا وَ أَبْغَضَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمُدَّعِينَ لِمَا هُمْ بِهِ لِسَخَطِي مُتَعَرِّضُونَ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْمُعَاوِنِينَ وَ أَبْغَضَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ هَؤُلَاءِ مَنْ كَانَ مِنَ الرَّاضِينَ بِفِعْلِهِمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْمُعَاوِنِينَ

And know that the most Hateful of the creatures to Meazwj, is the one who resembles (something) with Meazwj and leaves Myazwj Lordship; and the most Hateful to Meazwj after him is the one who (fakes to) resembles with Muhammadsaww and snatches hissaww Prophet-hood and claims it (for himself); and the most Hateful to Meazwj after him is the one who (fakes to) resembles with the successorasws of Muhammadsaww and snatches himasws of hisasws place and hisasws nobility, and claims these; and the most Hateful to Meazwj after them are the claimants to what theyasws (holy Imamsasws after Aliasws Ibn Abi Talibasws) are with, would be exposed to Myazwj Wrath – the one who was from the assisting ones to them upon that; and the most Hateful of the creatures to Meazwj after them is the one who was pleased with their deeds, and even if he did not happen to be from their assisting ones.

كَذَلِكَ‏ أَحَبُّ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ الْقَوَّامُونَ بِحَقِّي وَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ لَدَيَّ وَ أَكْرَمُهُمْ عَلَيَّ مُحَمَّدٌ سَيِّدُ الْوَرَى وَ أَكْرَمُهُمْ وَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ بَعْدَهُ عَلِيٌّ أَخُو الْمُصْطَفَى الْمُرْتَضَى ثُمَّ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الْقَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ مِنْ أَئِمَّةِ الْحَقِّ وَ أَفْضَلُ النَّاسِ بَعْدَهُمْ مَنْ أَعَانَهُمْ عَلَى حَقِّهِمْ وَ أَحَبُّ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَهُمْ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ وَ أَبْغَضَ أَعْدَاءَهُمْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُمْكِنْهُ مَعُونَتُهُمْ‏.

And, similar to that, the most Beloved of the creatures to Meazwj are the ones standing by Myazwj Right, and the most superior of them to Meazwj, and the most prestigious one to Meazwj is Muhammadsaww, Chief of the pious ones; and the most prestigious and superior of them after himsaww is the brother of Al-Mustafasaww, Aliasws Al-Murtazaasws; then from after himasws, from the ones standing with the equity from the Imamsasws of the Truth; and the most superior of the people after themasws are the ones who assist them upon theirasws rights; and the most Beloved to Meazwj after them is the one who loves themasws and hates theirasws enemies, and even if he was not able upon assisting themasws!”’¹⁷⁵

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, when Heazwj Created the Throne, Created three hundred and sixty thousand corners for it, and Created at each corner three hundred and sixty thousand Angels. If Allahazwj was to Permit the smallest of them, he would swallow the seven skies and the seven earths – and that would not be in mouth except like a grain of sand loosely in the wasteland.

فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللَّهُ يَا عِبَادِي احْتَمِلُوا عَرْشِي هَذَا فَتَعَاطَوْهُ فَلَمْ يُطِيقُوا حَمْلَهُ وَ لَا تَحْرِيكَهُ فَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ وَاحِداً فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُزَعْزِعُوهُ فَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ مَعَ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَشَرَةً فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُحَرِّكُوهُ فَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ بِعَدَدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ مِثْلَ جَمَاعَتِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا أَنْ يُحَرِّكُوهُ

Allahazwj the Exalted Said to them: “O Myazwj servants! – Carry this Throne of Mineazwj!’ They came to it, but they were not able to carry it, nor (even) move it. Allahazwj Created one (more), along with each one of them, but they were (still) not able to unsettle it. So Allahazwj created ten (more) with each one of them, but they were (still) not able to move it. So Allahazwj the Exalted Created with the number of each one of them, the like of their group. But, they were not able to move it.

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِجَمِيعِهِمْ خَلُّوهُ عَلَيَّ أُمْسِكْهُ بِقُدْرَتِي فَخَلَّوْهُ فَأَمْسَكَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِقُدْرَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِثَمَانِيَةٍ مِنْهُمْ احْمِلُوهُ أَنْتُمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَبَّنَا لَمْ نُطِقْهُ نَحْنُ وَ هَذَا الْخَلْقُ الْكَثِيرُ وَ الْجَمُّ الْغَفِيرُ فَكَيْفَ نُطِيقُهُ الْآنَ دُونَهُمْ

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said to their group: “Leave it upon Meazwj until Iazwj Hold it with Myazwj Power!” So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Held it by Hisazwj Power. Then Heazwj Said to eight of them: ‘Carry it!” But they said, ‘O our Lordazwj! We and these numerous creatures and the myriads could not bear it, so how can we (eight) bear it now beside them?’

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِأَنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ الْمُقَرِّبُ لِلْبَعِيدِ وَ الْمُذَلِّلُ لِلْعَبِيدِ وَ الْمُخَفِّفُ لِلشَّدِيدِ وَ الْمُسَهِّلُ لِلْعَسِيرِ أَفْعَلُ مَا أَشَاءُ وَ أَحْكُمُ مَا أُرِيدُ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ كَلِمَاتٍ تَقُولُونَهَا يَخِفُّ بِهَا عَلَيْكُمْ

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Iazwj, Iazwj am Allahazwj! The Drawer closer of the distant, and Iazwj Humiliate the stubborn, and the Lightener of the heavy, and the Easer of the difficult! Iazwj Do whatever Iazwj so Desire to and Iazwj Decide with whatever Iazwj Want to. Iazwj shall Teach you all certain words (for you) to be saying these, by which it would be lightened upon you’.

قَالُوا وَ مَا هِيَ يَا رَبَّنَا قَالَ تَقُولُونَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ

They said, ‘And what are these, O our Lordazwj?’ Heazwj Said: “You should be saying, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’ (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ ), and , ‘There is neither Might nor Strength except with Allahazwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ (لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ), and send Salawat upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws”.

فَقَالُوهَا فَحَمَلُوهُ وَ خَفَّ عَلَى كَوَاهِلِهِمْ كَشَعْرَةٍ نَابِتَةٍ عَلَى كَاهِلِ رَجُلٍ جَلْدٍ قَوِيٍّ

So they said it and it was light upon their shoulders – like a hair growing upon a shoulder of a man, rigid (and) strong.

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِسَائِرِ تِلْكَ الْأَمْلَاكِ خَلُّوا عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ عَرْشِي لِيَحْمِلُوهُ وَ طُوفُوا أَنْتُمْ حَوْلَهُ وَ سَبِّحُونِي وَ مَجِّدُونِي وَ قَدِّسُونِي فَإِنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى مَا رَأَيْتُمْ‏ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said to the rest of those Angels: “Leave Myazwj Throne to be upon the shoulders of these eight in order to carry it, and you (all) should be performing Tawaaf around it, and be Praising Meazwj and Glorifying Meazwj and Extolling Myazwj Holiness, for Iazwj, Iazwj am Allahazwj, the Able upon what you are seeing, and Iasws an Able upon everything”.

فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا أَعْجَبَ أَمْرَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ حَمَلَةِ الْعَرْشِ فِي كَثْرَتِهِمْ وَ قُوَّتِهِمْ وَ عِظَمِ خَلْقِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَؤُلَاءِ مَعَ قُوَّتِهِمْ لَا يُطِيقُونَ حَمْلَ صَحَائِفَ يُكْتَبُ‏ فِيهَ حَسَنَاتُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي

The companions of Rasool-Allahsaww said, ‘How strange is the affair of these Angels, bearers of the Throne, regarding their strength and the greatness of their creation!’ So Rasool-Allahsaww. they, with their strength, are not able to carry (even) the parchments wherein is written the good deeds of a man from mysaww community’.

قَالُوا وَ مَنْ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِنُحِبَّهُ وَ نُعَظِّمَهُ وَ نَتَقَرَّبَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِمُوَالاتِهِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ رَجُلٌ كَانَ قَاعِداً مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَهُ فَمَرَّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مُغَطَّى الرَّأْسِ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ

They said, ‘And who is he, O Rasool-Allahsaww, so that we can love him and revere him, and we can draw closer to Allahazwj by hisasws Wilayah’. Hesaww said: ‘That is the man, a man who was seated along with companion of his, so a man from the Peopleasws of mysaww Household passed by, having covered the head so he could not be recognised.

فَلَمَّا جَاوَزَهُ الْتَفَتَ خَلْفَهُ فَعَرَفَهُ فَوَثَبَ إِلَيْهِ قَائِماً حَافِياً حَاسِراً وَ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَقَبَّلَهَا وَ قَبَّلَ رَأْسَهُ وَ صَدْرَهُ وَ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا شَقِيقَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ لَحْمُكَ لَحْمُهُ وَ دَمُكَ دَمُهُ وَ عِلْمُكَ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ وَ حِلْمُكَ مِنْ حِلْمِهِ وَ عَقْلُكَ مِنْ عَقْلِهِ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُسْعِدَنِي بِمَحَبَّتِكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

When he had passed by them, he turned around, he recognised him. He leapt up standing, barefooted, bareheaded, and grabbed his hand and kissed it, and kissed his head and his chest and what is between his eyes, and said, ‘By my father and my mother, O brotherasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! Yourasws flesh is hissaww flesh, and yourasws blood is hissaww blood, and yourasws knowledge is from hissaww knowledge, and yourasws forbearance is from hissaww forbearance, and yourasws intellect is from hissaww intellect. Ask Allahazwj that Heazwj Assists me with (having) yourasws love, the Peopleasws of the Household’.

فَأَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَذَا الْفِعْلِ وَ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ مَا لَوْ كُتِبَ تَفْصِيلُهُ فِي‏ صَحَائِفِهِ لَمْ يُطِقْ‏ حَمْلَهَا جَمِيعُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الطَّائِفُونَ بِالْعَرْشِ وَ الْأَمْلَاكُ الْحَامِلُونَ لَهُ‏

Therefore Allahazwj Obligated for him, due to this deed and these words, from the Rewards – what, if its details is written in his parchment, they would not (be able to) endure carrying it, the entirety of these Angels performing Tawaaf of the Throne, and the Angels, the bearers of it.

فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ لَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْتَ فِي جَلَالَتِكَ وَ مَوْضِعِكَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مَحَلِّكَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص تَفْعَلُ بِهَذَا مَا نَرَى فَقَالَ لَهُمْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْجَاهِلُونَ وَ هَلْ يُثَابُ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا بِحُبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ حُبِّ هَذَا فَأَوْجَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَذَا الْقَوْلِ بِمِثْلِ مَا كَانَ أَوْجَبَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ الْفِعْلِ وَ الْقَوْلِ أَيْضاً

So his companions said to him, when he returned to them, ‘You are in your majesty and your position from Al-Islam, and your place in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww. You are doing with this one what we did not see (before)’. He said to them, ‘O you ignorant ones! And can one be Rewarded in Al-Islam except by the love of Muhammadsaww and the love of this oneasws?’ Allahazwj has Obligated for him due to this speech, the like of what Heazwj Obligated for him due to that deed and the words as well’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ لَقَدْ صَدَقَ فِي مَقَالَتِهِ لِأَنَّ رَجُلًا لَوْ عَمَّرَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِثْلَ عُمُرِ الدُّنْيَا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ وَ رَزَقَهُ مِثْلَ أَمْوَالِهَا مِائَةَ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ فَأَنْفَقَ أَمْوَالَهُ كُلَّهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ أَفْنَى عُمُرَهُ فِي صِيَامِ نَهَارِهِ وَ قِيَامِ لَيْلِهِ لَا يُفْطِرُ شَيْئاً مِنْهُ وَ لَا يَسْأَمُ ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى مُنْطَوِياً عَلَى بُغْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوْ بُغْضِ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي قَامَ إِلَيْهِ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ مُكْرِماً إِلَّا أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ لَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَحْبَطَهَا

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘And he was truthful in his speech – because, a man, if Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic was to Grant him a life-span – similar to the life-span of the world a hundred thousand times over, and Grace him similar to its wealth one hundred thousand times over, so he spends his wealth, all of it, in the Way of Allahazwj – and he finishes his life Fasting his days, standing (for Salat) in his nights, not reducing anything from it nor getting bored, then meets Allahazwj the Exalted intent upon hatred of Muhammadsaww or hatred of that manasws to whom what man stood up to honour, except that Allahazwj would Fling him upon his nostrils into the Fire of Hell, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Return his deeds back upon him and Thwart them.

قَالَ فَقَالُوا وَ مَنْ هَذَانِ الرَّجُلَانِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَمَّا الْفَاعِلُ مَا فَعَلَ فَذَلِكَ الْمُقْبِلُ الْمُغَطِّي رَأْسَهُ فَهُوَ هَذَا فَبَادَرُوا إِلَيْهِ يَنْظُرُونَ‏ فَإِذَا هُوَ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْأَوْسِيُّ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ

He (Imam Hassan Al-Askariasws) said: ‘So they said, ‘And who are these two men, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘As for the doer who did with that one covered of face, so he is this one!’ The people turned around to look at him, and it was Sa’ad Bin Muaz Al-Awsy Al-Ansaary.

وَ أَمَّا الْمَقُولُ لَهُ هَذَا الْقَوْلُ فَهَذَا الْآخَرُ الْمُقْبِلُ الْمُغَطِّي رَأْسَهُ فَنَظَرُوا فَإِذَا هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

And as for the one spoken to which these words, so this is the other one covered of head!’ So, they looked, and it was Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَنْ يَسْعَدُ بِحُبِّ هَذَيْنِ وَ مَا كَثُرَ مَنْ يَشْقَى مِمَّنْ يَنْتَحِلُ حُبَّ أَحَدِهِمَا وَ بُغْضَ الْآخَرِ إِنَّهُمَا جَمِيعاً يَكُونَانِ خَصْماً لَهُ وَ مَنْ كَانَا لَهُ خَصْماً كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ لَهُ‏ خَصْماً وَ مَنْ كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ لَهُ خَصْماً كَانَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَصْماً وَ فُلِجَ عَلَيْهِ‏ وَ أُوْجِبَ عَلَيْهِ عَذَابُهُ‏

Then hesaww said: ‘How often one becomes fortunate by loving these two, and how often one becomes wretched from the ones who impersonates the love for one of them and hates the other. Both of them together would become disputants to him – and the one to whom heasws is a disputant, Muhammadsaww would be a disputant to him, and the one to whom Muhammadsaww was a disputant, Allahazwj would be a Disputant to him, and would be Enraged upon him, and Allahazwj would Obligate the Fire upon him’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا يَعْرِفُ الْفَضْلَ لِأَهْلِ الْفَضْلِ أَهْلُ الْفَضْلِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O servants of Allahazwj! But rather, the people of merit recognise the merit’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِسَعْدٍ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَخْتِمُ لَكَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَ يُهْلِكُ بِكَ أُمَّةً مِنَ الْكَفَرَةِ وَ يَهْتَزُّ عَرْشُ الرَّحْمَنِ لِمَوْتِكَ وَ يَدْخُلُ بِشَفَاعَتِكَ الْجَنَّةَ مِثْلُ عَدَدِ شُعُورِ حَيَوَانَاتِ بَنِي كَلْبٍ‏

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said to Sa’ad: ‘Receive glad tidings, for Allahazwj has Sealed (Ordained) the martyrdom for you and would Destroy a community of Kafirs by you, and the Throne of the Beneficent would shake at your death, and there would be entering the Paradise, by your intercession, a number like the hairs of the animals of the clan of Kalb’.

قَالَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْأَرْضَ فِراشاً تَفْتَرِشُونَهَا لِمَنَامِكُمْ وَ مَقِيلِكُمْ‏

Heasws said: ‘So these are the Words of the Exalted: Who Made the earth a resting place for you [2:22], a resting place for your sleep and rest.

وَ السَّماءَ بِناءً سَقْفاً مَحْفُوظاً أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ يَجْرِي‏ فِيهَا شَمْسُهَا وَ قَمَرُهَا وَ كَوَاكِبُهَا مُسَخَّرَةً لِمَنَافِعِ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ وَ إِمَائِهِ

And the sky a canopy - a ceiling Protected from falling on to the earth by His Power, wherein its sun and its moon and its stars are subservient for the benefits of Hisazwj servants and Hisazwj maids.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا تَعْجَبُوا لِحِفْظِهِ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَحْفَظُ مَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالُوا وَ مَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ ثَوَابُ‏ طَاعَاتِ الْمُحِبِّينَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: 'Do not be surprised at Hisazwj Protecting the sky from falling onto the earth, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Protect what is greater than that’. They said: 'What is that?' Hesaww said: 'Greater than this are the Rewards of the obedience of those that love Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws.'

ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ وَ أَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّماءِ ماءً يَعْنِي الْمَطَرَ يَنْزِلُ مَعَ كُلِّ قَطْرَةٍ مَلَكٌ يَضَعُهَا فِي مَوْضِعِهَا الَّذِي يَأْمُرُهُ بِهِ رَبُّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَعَجِبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ وَ تَسْتَكْثِرُونَ عَدَدَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِنَّ عَدَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُسْتَغْفِرِينَ لِمُحِبِّي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ إِنَّ عَدَدَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ اللَّاعِنِينَ لِمُبْغِضِيهِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ هَؤُلَاءِ

Then Allahazwj Says: and (Who) Sends down water from the sky – Meaning the rain. An Angel descends with every drop, placing it in its (appropriate) place which his Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded with’. They were astounded from that, and Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Or are you considering their number as large? The number of the Angels who as seeking Forgiveness for those that love Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is more in number than them, and that the number of the Angels who are cursing those that hate himasws is more than them’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ فَأَخْرَجَ بِهِ مِنَ الثَّمَراتِ رِزْقاً لَكُمْ‏ أَ لَا تَرَوْنَ كَثْرَةَ عَدَدِ هَذِهِ الْأَوْرَاقِ وَ الْحُبُوبِ وَ الْحَشَائِشِ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَكْثَرَ عَدَدَهَا

Then Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: Then brings forth the fruits by it as a sustenance for you – Are you not seeing how numerous are these leaves and the grains and the grass?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww! How numerous is their number!’

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَكْثَرُ مِنْهَا عَدَداً مَلَائِكَةٌ يَبْتَذِلُونَ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي خِدْمَتِهِمْ أَ تَدْرُونَ فِيمَا يَبْتَذِلُونَ لَهُمْ يَبْتَذِلُونَ فِي حَمْلِ أَطْبَاقِ النُّورِ عَلَيْهَا التُّحَفُ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّهِمْ فَوْقَهَا مَنَادِيلُ النُّورِ وَ يَخْدُمُونَهُمْ فِي حَمْلِ مَا يَحْمِلُ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْهَا إِلَى شِيعَتِهِمْ وَ مُحِبِّيهِمْ وَ إِنَّ طَبَقاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْأَطْبَاقِ يَشْتَمِلُ مِنَ الْخَيْرَاتِ عَلَى مَا لَا يَفِي بِأَقَلِّ جُزْءٍ مِنْهُ جَمِيعُ أَمْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘A greater number than it are the Angels serving the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww being in theirasws service. Are you knowing regarding what they are serving themasws? They are serving in carrying the layers of light, upon which are the gifts from the Presence of theirasws Lordazwj. Above these are the towels of light, and they are serving themasws in carrying what the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww are carrying to theirasws Shias and those that love themasws; and that a layer from those layers contains from the goodness upon what the least part from it cannot be equated to the entirety of the wealth of the world’’.¹⁷⁶

61- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَامَ ثَوْبَانُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى قِيَامُ السَّاعَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا إِذْ تَسْأَلُ عَنْهَا قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَثِيرَ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘Sowban, a slave of Rasool-Allahsaww stood up, and he said, ‘May my father and my mother (be sacrificed) for yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww! When would the Hour be established?’ So Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘What is that which you have prepared for it, when you are asking about it?’ Sowban said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! I have not prepared a lot of deeds for it, except that I love Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِلَى مَا ذَا بَلَغَ حُبُّكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ فِي قَلْبِي مِنْ مَحَبَّتِكَ مَا لَوْ قُطِّعْتُ بِالسُّيُوفِ وَ نُشِرْتُ بِالْمَنَاشِيرِ وَ قُرِضْتُ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ وَ أُحْرِقْتُ بِالنِّيرَانِ وَ طُحِنْتُ بِإِرْحَاءِ الْحِجَارَةِ كَانَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ وَ أَسْهَلَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَجِدَ لَكَ فِي قَلْبِي غِشّاً أَوْ غِلًّا أَوْ بُغْضاً لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ أَصْحَابِكَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘And to what is that (point) to which your love for Rasool-Allahsaww reaches?’ He said, ‘By the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww! In my heart, from yoursaww love is what, if I was to be cut with the swords, and sawed by the saws, and minced with the scissors, and burned by the fires, and grinded by the grinding rocks – it would be more beloved to me and easier upon me – than if I were to find for yousaww in my heart either deceit, or suspicion, or hatred – off for anyone from the Peopleasws of yoursaww Household and yoursaww companions.

وَ أَحَبُ‏ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَكَ أَحَبُّهُمْ لَكَ وَ أَبْغَضُهُمْ إِلَيَّ مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّكَ وَ يُبْغِضُكَ أَوْ يُبْغِضُ أَحَداً مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا مَا عِنْدِي مِنْ حُبِّكَ وَ حُبِّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَ بُغْضِ‏ مَنْ يُبْغِضُكَ أَوْ يُبْغِضُ أَحَداً مِمَّنْ تُحِبُّهُ

And the most beloved of the people to me after yousaww is the one most loving to yousaww, and the most hateful of them to me is the one who does not love yousaww, and hates yousaww and hates anyone from the ones who love yousaww. O Rasool-Allahsaww! This is what is with me from yoursaww love and love for the one who loves yousaww, and hatred for the one who hates yousaww, or hates anyone from the ones who love yousaww.

فَإِنْ قُبِلَ هَذَا مِنِّي فَقَدْ سَعِدْتُ وَ إِنْ أُرِيدَ مِنِّي عَمَلٌ غَيْرُهُ‏ فَمَا أَعْلَمُ لِي عَمَلًا أَعْتَمِدُهُ وَ أَعْتَدُّ بِهِ غَيْرَ هَذَا أُحِبُّكُمْ جَمِيعاً أَنْتَ وَ أَصْحَابَكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أُطِيقُهُمْ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمْ

If this is Accepted from me, so I am fortunate, and it any deed other than it is wanted from me, then I don’t know of any deed for me I can rely on and count with apart from this. And I love you all together, yousaww and yoursaww companions, and even if I cannot (be compared with) them in their deeds’.

فَقَالَ ص أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ الْمَرْءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Receive glad tidings, for the person would be gathered on the Day of Judgment along with the one he loves.

يَا ثَوْبَانُ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ مِلْ‏ءُ مَا بَيْنَ الثَّرَى إِلَى الْعَرْشِ لَانْحَسَرَتْ وَ زَالَتْ عَنْكَ بِهَذِهِ الْمُوَالاةِ أَسْرَعَ مِنِ انْحِدَارِ الظِّلِّ عَنِ الصَّخْرَةِ الْمَلْسَاءِ الْمُسْتَوِيَةِ إِذَا طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ مِنِ انْحِسَارِ الشَّمْسِ إِذَا غَابَتْ عَنْهَا الشَّمْسُ‏.

O Sowban! If there are upon you, from the sins, what could fill up what is between the soil up to the Throne, they would abate and decline from you due to this Wilayah – quicker than the receding of the shadow from the smooth flat rock – when the sun emerges upon it, and from the receding of the sun when the sun sets from it’’.¹⁷⁷

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – ‘One who is habitual of ourasws love of Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Open for him, from the Paradise, eight of its doors, and Legalise all of them to enter from whatever (door) from these he so desires, and each door of the Gardens would call out to him: ‘O friend of Allahazwj! Will you not enter from me? Will you not choose me from between them?’’¹⁷⁸

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Ja’far Bin Ahmad transmitting,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Iasws and myasws fatherasws went out one day and there heasws was with a people from our companions between the pulpit and the grave (of Rasool-Allahsaww). Heasws greeted them (Shias), then said, ‘But, by Allahazwj! Iasws love your aromas, so assist measws upon that with piety, and the struggle. One who follows a servant, then let him act with his deeds, and you all are Shias of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and you are marks of Allahazwj, and you are helpers of Allahazwj, and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the latter ones in the world, and the foremost ones in the Hereafter to the Paradise.

قَدْ ضَمِنَّا لَكُمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِضَمَانِ اللَّهِ وَ ضَمَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ أَهْلِ‏ بَيْتِهِ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنَةٍ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ

Weasws have guaranteed the Paradise for you by the Guarantee of Allahazwj and guarantee of Rasool-Allahsaww and Peopleasws of hissaww Household. You are the good and your womenfolk are good. Every believing woman is a Hourie, and every Momin is a truthful.

كَمْ مَرَّةً قَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع لِقَنْبَرٍ يَا قَنْبَرُ أَبْشِرْ وَ بَشِّرْ وَ اسْتَبْشِرْ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ سَاخِطٌ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أُمَّتِهِ إِلَّا الشِّيعَةَ

How many times Amir Al-Momineenasws had said to Qanbar: ‘O Qanbar! Receive glad tidings, and give glad tidings, and be joyful of it. By Allahazwj! Rasool-Allahsaww passed away while hesaww was angry upon the entirety of hissaww community except the Shias.

وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ شرف‏ [شَرَفاً] وَ إِنَّ شَرَفَ الدِّينِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عُرْوَةً وَ إِنَّ عُرْوَةَ الدِّينِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إمام [إِمَاماً] وَ إِمَامُ الْأَرْضِ أَرْضٌ يَسْكُنُ فِيهِ الشِّيعَةُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سَيِّداً وَ سَيِّدُ الْمَجَالِسِ مَجَالِسُ الشِّيعَةِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ شَهْوَةً وَ شَهْوَةُ الدُّنْيَا سُكْنَى شِيعَتِنَا فِيهَا

And for everything there is a nobility, and the nobility of the Religion are the Shias. Indeed! And for everything there is a handhold and the handhold of the Religion are the Shias. And for everything there is an Imam and the Imam of the earth is the land when the Shias settle in. Indeed! And for everything there is a chief, and chief of the gathering is a gathering of the Shias. Indeed! And for everything there is a desire, and a desire of the world is that the Shias settle in it.

وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْكُمْ مَا اسْتَكْمَلَ أَهْلُ خِلَافِكُمْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَالِهِمْ وَ مَا لَهُمْ‏ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ نَصِيبٍ‏ كُلُّ نَاصِبٍ وَ إِنْ تَعَبَّدَ مَنْسُوبٌ إِلَى هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ خاشِعَةٌ عامِلَةٌ ناصِبَةٌ تَصْلى‏ ناراً حامِيَةً تُسْقى‏ مِنْ عَيْنٍ آنِيَةٍ

By Allahazwj! If there was none of you in the earth, the people of your opposition would not complete the goodness of their wealth, and there would be no share for them in the Hereafter. Every Nasibi (Hostile one), and even if he worships, would be attributed to this Verse: Faces on that day will be humiliated [88:2]? (Of the) toiling Nasibis (Hostile ones) [88:3] Arriving to a scorching Fire [88:4] Quenching from a boiling spring [88:5].

وَ مَنْ دَعَا مِنْ مُخَالِفٍ لَكُمْ فَإِجَابَةُ دُعَائِهِ لَكُمْ‏ وَ مَنْ طَلَبَ مِنْكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ حَاجَةً فَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَ مَنْ سَأَلَ مَسْأَلَةً فَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَ مَنْ دَعَا بِدَعْوَةٍ فَلَهُ مِائَةٌ وَ مَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْكُمْ حَسَنَةً فَلَا يُحْصَى تَضَاعُفُهَا وَ مَنْ أَسَاءَ مِنْكُمْ سَيِّئَةً فَمُحَمَّدٌ ص حَجِيجُهُ يَعْنِي يُحَاجُّ عَنْهُ مِنْ تَبِعَتِهَا

And one from the adversaries supplicates for you, his supplication would be answered, and the one from you seeks a need to Allahazwj, for him would be a hundred, and one who asks a question, for him would be a hundred, and one who supplicates a supplication, for him would be a hundred, and the one from you who does a good deed, its multiple would not be (possible to be) counted, and one from you who commits an evil deed, so Muhammadsaww would be his arguer, meaning hesaww would argue (his case) on his behalf from pursuing it (intercession).

وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ صَائِمَكُمْ لَيَرْعَى فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بِالْعَوْنِ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ وَ إِنَّ حَاجَّكُمْ وَ مُعْتَمِرَكُمْ لَخَاصُّ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّكُمْ جَمِيعاً لَأَهْلُ دَعْوَةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَهْلُ‏ إِجَابَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ وَلَايَتِهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا حُزْنٌ كُلُّكُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَتَنَافَسُوا فِي فَضَائِلِ الدَّرَجَاتِ

By Allahazwj! Your fasting one would be taken care of in an orchard of the Paradise. The Angels would be supplicate for him with the assistance until he breaks (the Fast), and your pilgrim of Hajj and Umrah are the special ones of Allahazwj, and all of you are the rightful ones of the Invitation of Allahazwj and rightful of its answer, and people of Hisazwj Wilayah. There will neither be fear upon you nor grief. All of you would be in the Paradise, therefore compete regarding the superior ranks.

وَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ أَقْرَبَ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا مَا أَحْسَنَ صُنْعَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ

B Allahazwj! There will not be anyone nearer from the Throne of Allahazwj the Exalted on the Day of Qiyamah than ourasws Shias. How excellently Allahazwj would Deal with you all.

وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تُفْتَنُوا فَيَشْمَتَ بِكُمْ عَدُوُّكُمْ وَ يَعْلَمَ النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ لَسَلَّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ قُبُلًا

By Allahazwj! Had it not been for you (Shias) being Tried by your enemies insulting you and the people know that, the Angels would have greeted you all face to face.

وَ قَدْ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَخْرُجُ أَهْلُ وَلَايَتِنَا مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ- يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُشْرِقَةً وُجُوهُهُمْ قَرَّتْ أَعْيُنُهُمْ قَدْ أُعْطُوا الْأَمَانَ يَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَخَافُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَحْزَنُونَ

And Amir Al-Momineenasws had said: ‘The people of ourasws Wilayah would come out from their graves on the Day of Qiyamah, their faces shining, their eyes delighted, having been Given the security. The people will fear and they will not be fearing, and the people will be grieving and they will not be grieving.

وَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَقُومُ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ إِلَّا وَ قَدِ اكْتَنَفَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَدْعُونَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ

By Allahazwj! There is no worshipper from you standing to his Salat except and the Angels would surround from behind him sending Salawat upon him and supplicating for him, until he is free from his Salat.

أَلَا وَ إِنَّ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ جوهر [جَوْهَراً] وَ جَوْهَرُ وُلْدِ آدَمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَامُهُ نَحْنُ‏ وَ شِيعَتُنَا.

Indeed! And for everything there is an essence, and the essence of the children of Adamas and its safety are usasws and ourasws Shias’’.

قَالَ سَعْدَانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ وَ زَادَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ عَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْلَاكُمْ‏ مَا زُخْرِفَتِ الْجَنَّةُ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْلَاكُمْ مَا خُلِقَتِ الْحُورُ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْلَاكُمْ مَا نَزَلَتْ قَطْرَةٌ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْلَاكُمْ مَا نَبَتَتْ حَبَّةٌ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْلَاكُمْ مَا قَرَّتْ عَيْنٌ

Sa’dan Bin Muslim and Zad said in the Hadeeth of Aysam Bin Aslam, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws: ‘By Allahazwj! Had it not been for you (Shias), the Paradise would not have been adorned. By Allahazwj! Had it not been for you the Houries would not have been Created. By Allahazwj! Had it not been for you no drop (of rain) would have descended. By Allahazwj! Had it not been for you no seed would have grown. By Allahazwj! Had it not been for you, no eye would have been delighted.

وَ اللَّهِ لَا لَلَّهُ أَشَدُّ حُبّاً لَكُمْ مِنِّي فَأَعِينُونَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِالْوَرَعِ وَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ الْعَمَلِ بِطَاعَتِهِ‏.

By Allahazwj! There is no one more intensely loving to you all for the Sake of Allahazwj than measws, therefore assist usasws upon that with the piety, and the struggle, and the deeds with Hisazwj obedience’’.¹⁹⁸

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported by Muhammad Bin Momin Al Shirazi in his Tafseer, by his chain from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Allahazwj will Command an Angel to inflame the seven Fires and Command Rizwaan (keeper) to decorate the eight Gardens, and Heazwj would Say: “O Mikaeelas! Extend the bridge over the back of Hell!” And Heazwj will Say: “O Jibraeelas! Set up the scale of justice beneath the Throne!” And Heazwj will Say: “O Muhammadsaww! Bring yoursaww community closer for the Reckoning!”

ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُعْقَدَ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ سَبْعُ قَنَاطِرَ طُولُ كُلِّ قَنْطَرَةٍ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ فَرْسَخٍ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ قَنْطَرَةٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَسْأَلُونَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ نِسَاءَهُمْ وَ رِجَالَهُمْ عَلَى الْقَنْطَرَةِ الْأُولَى عَنْ وَلَايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ حُبِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع

Then Allahazwj the Exalted will Command himsaww to set-up seven archways upon the bridge, the length of each archway being of seventeen thousand Farsakhs, and upon each archway would be seventy thousand Angels asking this community, their women and their men, upon the first archway about the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws and love of Peopleasws of the Household of Muhammadsaww.

فَمَنْ أَتَى بِهِ جَازَ الْقَنْطَرَةَ الْأُولَى كَالْبَرْقِ الْخَاطِفِ وَ مَنْ لَا يُحِبُّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ سَقَطَ عَلَى أُمِّ رَأْسِهِ فِي قَعْرِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ لَوْ كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنْ أَعْمَالِ الْبِرِّ عَمَلُ سَبْعِينَ صِدِّيقاً.

The one who come with it would cross over the first archway like the bolt of lightning, and one who does not love Peopleasws of hissaww household would fall upon the top of his head in the bottom of Hell, and even if there were to be with him the righteous deeds of seventy truthful ones’’.¹⁹⁹

(The book) ‘Al Taraif Min Al Jam’a Bayn Al Sihah Al Sitta’ – From Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Love Allahazwj for what Heazwj has Provided all of you with, of Hisazwj bounties, and for what Heazwj is Rightful of, and love mesaww for the love of Allahazwj the Exalted, and love Peopleasws of mysaww Household for mysaww love’’.²⁰⁰

By his chain to Jareer Bin Abdullah Al Bajaly who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who dies upon the love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, dies a martyr. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww dies Forgiven for. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww dies repentant. Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww dies a Momin of complete Eman.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بَشَّرَهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ بِالْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ مُنْكَرٌ وَ نَكِيرٌ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يُزَفُّ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا تُزَفُّ الْعَرُوسُ إِلَى بَيْتِ زَوْجِهَا

Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, the Angel of death would give him the glad tidings of the Paradise, then Munkar and Nakeer (questioning Angels). Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww would be escorted to the Paradise just as the bride tends to be escorted to the house of her husband.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ زُوَّارَ قَبْرِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى‏حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاتَ عَلَى السُّنَّةِ وَ الْجَمَاعَةِ

Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progenyasws of Muhammad, Allahazwj will Make the Angels visit his grave with the mercy. Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww dies upon the Sunnah and the congregation.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى بُغْضِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَكْتُوباً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ آيِسٌ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى بُغْضِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ لَمْ يَشَمَّ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ.

Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww would come on the Day of Qiyamah, with (the words) ‘Despaired from Mercy of Allahazwj’ written between his eyes. Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww would not (even be able to) smell the aroma of Paradise’’.²⁰¹

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Sheyrawiya in (the book) ‘Al Firdows’, from Abu Layli,

‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘No servant will believe until Isaww happen to be more beloved to him than himself, and mysaww offspring happen to be more beloved to him than his own offspring, and mysaww family happens to be more beloved to him than his own family, and mysaww self happens to be more beloved to him than his own self’’.²⁰²

(The book) ‘Kunz’ of Al Karajaky – It is narrated to us by the sheykh Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shazan, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Murra, from Al Hassan Bin Al Asimy, from Muhammad Bin Al Malik Bin Abu Shawarib, from Ja’far Bin Suleyman Al Zubeyie, from Ibn Tareyf, from Ibn Nubata who said,

‘Salman Al-Farsira was asked about Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Hera said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Upon you all is to be with Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, for heasws is your Masterasws, therefore love himasws and heasws is your great one so follow himasws, and heasws is yourasws knowledgeable one so honour himasws, and heasws is your guide to the Paradise, so adore himasws.

وَ إِذَا دَعَاكُمْ فَأَجِيبُوهُ وَ إِذَا أَمَرَكُمْ فَأَطِيعُوهُ أَحِبُّوهُ لِحُبِّي وَ أَكْرِمُوهُ لِكَرَامَتِي مَا قُلْتُ لَكُمْ فِي عَلِيٍّ إِلَّا مَا أَمَرَنِي بِهِ رَبِّي‏.

And whenever heasws calls you, answer himasws, and when heasws orders you, obey himasws, and love himasws for (the sake of) mysaww love, and honour himasws for (the sake of) mysaww honour. Isaww do not say to you regarding Aliasws except What mysaww Lordazwj Commands mesaww with’’.²⁰³

And I was informed by Al Shareef Ahmad Bin Hamza Al Husayni, and Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Ismail, and Abu Al Raja Muhammad Bin Ali, altogether from Abu Al Mufazzal Al Shaybani, from Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Khalaf, from Musa Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from Abdullah Bin Muhaymin Al Ansary Al Saidy, from his father, from his grandfather Sahl Bin Sa’ad who said,

‘While Abu Zarrra was seated with a group of companions of Rasool-Allahsaww, and on that day I was among them, when Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws emerged to us. Abu Zarrra looked at himasws then turned hisra face toward the people and said, ‘What is the matter with you regarding the love a manasws - for whom the sins would drop from the one who loves himasws just as the stormy wind drops the dry leaves from the tree? Ira heard your Prophetsaww say that for himasws’.

قَالُوا مَنْ هُوَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُقْبِلُ إِلَيْكُمْ ابْنُ عَمِّ نَبِيِّكُمْ سَمِعْتُهُ‏ يَقُولُ- عَلِيٌّ بَابُ عِلْمِي وَ مُبِينٌ لِأُمَّتِي مَا أُرْسِلْتُ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِي حُبُّهُ إِيمَانٌ وَ بُغْضُهُ نِفَاقٌ وَ النَّظَرُ إِلَيْهِ بِرَأْفَةٍ وَ مَوَدَّةٍ عِبَادَةٌ

They said, ‘Who is he, O Abu Zarrra?’ Hera said, ‘He is that man coming towards you, sonasws of the uncleas of your Prophetsaww. I heard himsaww saying: ‘Aliasws is the door of mysaww knowledge, and the clarifier for mysaww community of what Isaww am Sent with, from after mesaww. Loving himasws is the Eman (faith) and hating himasws is hypocrisy, and looking at himas with kindness and cordiality is (an act of) worship.

وَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَثَلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فِي أُمَّتِي مَثَلُ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ مَنْ رَكِبَهَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ رَغِبَ عَنْهَا هَلَكَ وَ مَثَلُ بَابِ حِطَّةٍ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

And I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘An example of People of mysaww Household among mysaww community is an example of the ship of Noahas. One who sails it is saved and one who turns away from it is destroyed, and an example of the door of Hitta among the children of Israel’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا بَا ذَرٍّ مَنْ عَمِلَ لآِخِرَتِهِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ أَمْرَ دُنْيَاهُ وَ آخِرَتِهِ وَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ وَ مَنْ أَحْسَنَ سَرِيرَتَهُ أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ عَلَانِيَتَهُ

Then heasws said: ‘O Abu Zarrra! One who works for his Hereafter, Allahazwj would Suffice him of his world and his Hereafter, and one who is good between him and Allahazwj, Allahazwj would Suffice him of that which is between him and Hisazwj servants, and one who is good in private, Allahazwj would be good of his public matters.

إِنَّ لُقْمَانَ الْحَكِيمَ قَالَ‏ لِابْنِهِ وَ هُوَ يَعِظُهُ يا بُنَيَ‏ مَنَ ذَا الَّذِي ابْتَغَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلَمْ يَجِدْهُ وَ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي لَجَأَ إِلَى اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يُدَافِعْ عَنْهُ أَمْ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي تَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلَمْ يَكْفِهِ

Luqmanas the wise said to hisas son, and heas was advising him: ‘O myas son! Who is that who sought Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic but could not find Himazwj? And who is that who sheltered to Allahazwj and Heazwj did not Defend him? One is that who relied upon Allahazwj and Heazwj did not Suffice him?’

ثُمَّ مَضَى يَعْنِي عَلِيّاً ع فَقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنْ أُمَّةٍ ائْتَمَّتْ أَوْ قَالَ اتَّبَعَتْ رَجُلًا وَ فِيهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِاللَّهِ وَ دِينِهِ مِنْهُ إِلَّا ذَهَبَ أَمْرُهُمْ سَفَالًا.

Then heasws went, meaning Aliasws. Abu Zarrra said, ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Abu Zarrra! There is no community who took a leader’ – or said, ‘A man took a leader, and among them is one who is more knowledgeable with Allahazwj and Hisazwj Religion than he is, except that their affairs went down through the drain (lower)’’.²⁰⁴

Kitab ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shazan – Ustad Al Karajaky, by his chain from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Jibraeelas informed mesaww regarding youasws with a matter, mysaww eyes were delighted by it and mysaww heart rejoiced by it.

قَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِي أَقْرِئْ مُحَمَّداً مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ أَعْلِمْهُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً إِمَامُ الْهُدَى وَ مِصْبَاحُ الدُّجَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّهُ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ الْفَارُوقُ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ إِنِّي آلَيْتُ بِعِزَّتِي أَنْ لَا أُدْخِلَ النَّارَ أَحَداً تَوَلَّاهُ وَ سَلَّمَ لَهُ وَ لِلْأَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ

Heas said to me: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Allahazwj the Exalted Said to me: “Convey the greetings to Muhammadsaww from Meazwj and let himsaww know that Aliasws is Imamasws of the guidance, and lamp for the darkness, and the Divine Authority upon the people of the world, for heasws is the greatest truthful, and the magnificent distributor, and Iazwj Swear by Myazwj Might that Iazwj will not Enter anyone into the Fire who has hisasws Wilayah and submits to himasws and to the successorsasws from after himasws.

وَ لَا أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ تَرَكَ وَلَايَتَهُ وَ التَّسْلِيمَ لَهُ وَ لِلْأَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ‏ بَعْدِهِ وَ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ وَ أَطْبَاقَهَا مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ وَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ‏.

And Iazwj will not Enter into the Paradise one who neglects hisasws Wilayah, and the submission to himasws and to the succesorsasws from after himasws, and the Word from Meazwj will be proven true, Iazwj will Fill Hell and its layers from hisasws enemies, and Fill the Paradise from hisasws friends and hisasws Shias’’.²⁰⁵

‘We asked Rasool-Allahsaww about Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Hesaww got angered and said: ‘What is the matter with a people mentioning someone who has a status for himasws in the Presence of Allahazwj like mysaww status, and a position like mysaww position, except for the Prophet-hood?

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ مَنْ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كَافَأَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ

Indeed! And the one who loves Aliasws, so he has loved mesaww, and the one who loves mesaww, Allahazwj is Pleased from him, and the one whom Allahazwj is Pleased from, it would suffice him for the Paradise.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً اسْتَغْفَرَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّ بَابٍ شَاءَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Indeed! And the one who loves Aliasws, Angels would seek Forgiveness for him, and the gates of the Paradise would be opened for him. He can enter from whichever gate he so desires to, without any Reckoning.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَ حَاسَبَهُ حِسَابَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً يُهَوِّنُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ جَعَلَ قَبْرَهُ رَوْضَةً مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ

Indeed! And one who loves Aliasws, Allahazwj would Give him a Hourie in the Paradise for every vein in his body, and let him intercede regarding eighty of his family members, and for him would be, for every hair upon his body, an orchard in the Paradise.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ عَرَفَ عَلِيّاً وَ أَحَبَّهُ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ كَمَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ‏ إِلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ دَفَعَ عَنْهُ أَهْوَالَ مُنْكَرٍ وَ نَكِيرٍ وَ نَوَّرَ قَبْرَهُ وَ فَسَحَهُ مَسِيرَةَ سَبْعِينَ عَاماً وَ بَيَّضَ وَجْهَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Indeed! And one who recognises Aliasws and loves himasws, Allahazwj would Send the Angel of death to him just as Heazwj Sent to the Prophetsas, and Repel from him the terror of Munkar and Nakeer (questioning Angels), and radiate his grave and expand it to a travel distance of seventy years, and whiten his face on the Day of Qiyamah.

90- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ صَافَحَ عَلِيّاً فَكَأَنَّمَا صَافَحَنِي وَ مَنْ صَافَحَنِي فَكَأَنَّمَا صَافَحَ أَرْكَانَ الْعَرْشِ وَ مَنْ عَانَقَهُ فَكَأَنَّمَا عَانَقَنِي وَ مَنْ عَانَقَنِي فَكَأَنَّمَا عَانَقَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ كُلَّهُمْ وَ مَنْ صَافَحَ مُحِبّاً لِعَلِيٍّ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الذُّنُوبَ وَ أُدْخِلَ‏ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ‏.

And by his chain, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who shakes the hand of Aliasws, if it as if he has shook mysaww hand, and one who shakes mysaww hand, it is as if he has shaken the corners of the Throne, and one who hugs himasws it is as if he has hugged mesaww, and one who hugs measws, it is as if he has hugged the Prophetsas, all of themas, and one who shakes the hand of one who loves Aliasws, Allahazwj would Forgive the sins for him and he would enter the Paradise without any Reckoning’’.²⁰⁷

91- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ الْهَرَوِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا ع يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ سَمِعْتُ اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ يَقُولُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حُجَّتِي عَلَى خَلْقِي وَ نُورِي فِي بِلَادِي وَ أَمِينِي عَلَى عِلْمِي لَا أُدْخِلُ النَّارَ مَنْ عَرَفَهُ وَ إِنْ عَصَانِي وَ لَا أُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُ وَ إِنْ أَطَاعَنِي‏.

And by his chain, from Abu Al Salt Al Harwy who said,

‘I heard Al-Rezaasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, from Amir Al-Momineenasws having said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Isaww heard Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty Saying: “Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Myazwj Divine Authority upon Myazwj creatures, and Myazwj Noor (Light) in Myazwj Country, and Myazwj Trustee upon Myazwj Knowledge. Iazwj will not Enter into the Fire one who recognises himasws, and even if he had disobeyed Meazwj, and Iazwj will not Enter into the Paradise one who denies himasws, and even if he obeyed Meazwj’’.²⁰⁸

92- وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ أَرَادَ التَّوَكُّلَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيُحِبَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْجُوَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ فَلْيُحِبَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَلْيُحِبَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ دُخُولَ الْجَنَّةِ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ فَلْيُحِبَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَحَبَّهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا رَبِحَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.

And from Ibn Umar who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who wants to rely upon Allahazwj, then let him love Peopleasws of mysaww Household; and one who wants to be saved from punishment of the grave, then let him love Peopleasws of mysaww Household; one who wants the wisdom, then let him love Peopleasws of mysaww Household; and one who wants entry into the Paradise without any Reckoning, then let him love Peopleasws of mysaww Household. No would love them except he would profit in the world and the Hereafter’’.²⁰⁹

93- وَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ يَقْعُدُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى الْفِرْدَوْسِ وَ هُوَ جَبَلٌ قَدْ عَلَا عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ فَوْقَهُ عَرْشُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ مِنْ سَفْحِهِ‏ تَنْفَجِرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ تَتَفَرَّقُ فِي الْجِنَانِ

And from Ibn Masoud who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws would sit upon Al-Firdows, and it is a mountain which towers upon the Paradise, and above it is Throne of Lordazwj of the worlds, and from its base burst out the rivers of the Paradise and separate into the Gardens.

وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ عَلَى كُرْسِيٍّ مِنْ نُورٍ تَجْرِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ التَّسْنِيمُ لَا يَجُوزُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ إِلَّا وَ مَعَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ بِوَلَايَتِهِ وَ وَلَايَةِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ يُشْرِفُ عَلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَيُدْخِلُ مُحِبِّيهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مُبْغِضِيهِ النَّارَ.

And heasws will sit upon a chair of Noor (light), the (river) Tasneem would be flowing in front of himasws. No one will be allowed upon the bridge except and with him would be a freedom pass with hisasws Wilayah and Wilayah of Peopleasws of hisasws Household. Heasws will overlook upon the Paradise and enter ones who love himasws into the Paradise, and ones who hate himasws into the Fire’’.²¹⁰

94- وَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا سَلْمَانُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ فَاطِمَةَ ابْنَتِي فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَعِي وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهَا فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ

And from Salman Al-Farsira who said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Salmanra! One who loves mysaww daughterasws (Syeda) Fatimaasws would be in the Paradise with mesaww, and the one who hates herasws would be in the Fire.

يَا سَلْمَانُ حُبُّ فَاطِمَةَ يَنْفَعُ فِي مِائَةِ مَوْطِنٍ أَيْسَرُ تِلْكَ الْمَوَاطِنِ الْمَوْتُ وَ الْقَبْرُ وَ الْمِيزَانُ وَ الْمَحْشَرُ وَ الصِّرَاطُ وَ الْمُحَاسَبَةُ

O Salmanra! Love of (Syeda) Fatimaasws benefits in one hundred places, the least of those places is the death, and the grave, and the scale, and the resurrection, and the bridge, and the Reckoning.

فَمَنْ رَضِيَتْ عَنْهُ ابْنَتِي فَاطِمَةُ رَضِيتُ عَنْهُ وَ مَنْ رَضِيتُ عَنْهُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ مَنْ غَضِبَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَاطِمَةُ غَضِبْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ غَضِبْتُ عَلَيْهِ غَضِبَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ يَا سَلْمَانُ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ يَظْلِمُهَا وَ يَظْلِمُ‏ ذُرِّيَّتَهَا وَ شِيعَتَهَا.

One whom mysaww daughterasws (Syeda) Fatimaasws is pleased from, Isaww would be pleased from him, and one Isaww am pleased from, Allahazwj would be Pleased from him; and one whom (Syeda) Fatimaasws is angered upon, Isaww am angered upon him, and one Isaww am angered upon, Allahazwj would be Angered upon him. O Salmanra! Woe be for the one who oppresses herasws and oppresses herasws offspring and herasws Shias’’.²¹¹

95- وَ عَنْ سَمُرَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص كُلَّمَا أَصْبَحَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا وَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص أَصْبَحَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ عَمِّي حَمْزَةَ وَ ابْنَ عَمِّي جَعْفَراً جَالِسَيْنِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِمَا طَبَقُ تِينٍ‏ وَ هُمَا يَأْكُلَانِ مِنْهُ فَمَا لَبِثَا أَنْ تَحَوَّلَ رُطَباً فَأَكَلَا مِنْهُ

And from Sumrah who said,

‘And the Prophetsaww used to turn towards hissaww companions every morning with hissaww face and say: ‘Has anyone of you seen a dream (last night)?’ One day the Prophetsaww woke up in the morning and said: ‘Isaww saw mysaww uncle Hamzaasws in the dream, and sonasws of mysaww uncleasws Ja’farasws, and in theirasws hands was a pot of figs and theyasws were eating from it. It was not long before these transformed into dates, and theyasws ate from it.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا فَمَا وَجَدْتُمَا أَفْضَلَ الْأَعْمَالِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ قَالا الصَّلَاةَ وَ حُبَّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ إِخْفَاءَ الصَّدَقَةِ.

Isaww said to themasws: ‘What did youasws both find as being the most superior of the good deeds in the Hereafter?’ Theyasws said, ‘The Salat and love of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and secretive charity’’.²¹²

96- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ بِلَالِ بْنِ حَمَامَةَ قَالَ: طَلَعَ‏ عَلَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ص ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ وَجْهُهُ مُشْرِقٌ كَدَارَةِ الْقَمَرِ فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ‏ وَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا هَذَا النُّورُ

And by his chain from Bilal Bin Hamama who said,

‘The Prophetsaww emerged to us one day and hissaww face was beaming like the radiance of the moon. Abdullah Bin Awf stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What is this Noor (light/radiance for)?’

فَقَالَ بِشَارَةٌ أَتَتْنِي مِنْ رَبِّي فِي أَخِي وَ ابْنِ عَمِّي وَ ابْنَتِي وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ زَوَّجَ عَلِيّاً بِفَاطِمَةَ وَ أَمَرَ رِضْوَانَ خَازِنَ الْجِنَانِ فَهَزَّ شَجَرَةَ طُوبَى فَحَمَلَتْ رِقَاعاً يَعْنِي صِكَاكاً بِعَدَدِ مُحِبِّي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ أَنْشَأَ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا مَلَائِكَةً مِنْ نُورٍ وَ دَفَعَ إِلَى كُلِّ مَلَكٍ صَكّاً

Hesaww said: ‘Glad tidings came to mesaww from mysaww Lordazwj regarding mysaww brotherasws and sonasws of mysaww uncleas, and (regarding) mysaww daughterasws, and that Allahazwj has got Aliasws married to (Syeda) Fatimaasws and Commanded Rizwan, keeper of the Paradise to shake the tree of Tooba. So, it bore parchments, meaning instruments (deeds) of the number of the ones who love Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and Angels of light grew from underneath these, and a deed was handed over to each Angel.

فَإِذَا اسْتَوَتِ الْقِيَامَةُ بِأَهْلِهَا نَادَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فِي الْخَلَائِقِ‏ فَلَا تَلْقَى مُحِبّاً لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِلَّا دَفَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ صَكّاً فِيهِ فَكَاكُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ بِأَخِي وَ ابْنِ عَمِّي وَ ابْنَتِي فَكَاكُ رِجَالٍ وَ نِسَاءٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مِنَ النَّارِ.

So, when the (Day of) Qiyamah would be evened out with its inhabitants, the Angels would call out among the creatures, so they will not meet anyone who loves usasws Peopleasws of the Household except an a deed would be handed over to him wherein would be his freedom from the Fire by mysaww brotherasws and sonasws of mysaww uncleas, and mysaww daughter, freeing the men and the women from mysaww community from the Fire’’.²¹³

97- وَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السِّجِسْتَانِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَطُوفُ فَاسْتَقْبَلَنِي فِي الطَّوَافِ أَنَسُ‏ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ لِي أَ لَا أُبَشِّرُكَ تَفْرَحُ‏ بِهِ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى

And from Ayoub Al Sijistany who said,

‘I was performing Tawaaf and Anas Bin Malik (well-known Ahadith fabricator) met me during the Tawaaf. He said to me, ‘Shall I give you glad tidings you will be happy with?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ كُنْتُ وَاقِفاً بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ هُوَ قَاعِدٌ فِي الرَّوْضَةِ فَقَالَ لِي أَسْرِعْ وَ أْتِنِي بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَذَهَبْتُ فَإِذَا عَلِيٌ‏ وَ فَاطِمَةُ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص يَدْعُوكَ

He said, ‘I was standing in front of the Prophetsaww in the Masjid of Al-Medina and hesaww was sitting on the turf. Hesaww said to me: ‘Go quickly and come with Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws!’ I went, and there was Aliasws and (Syeda) Fatimaasws. I said to himasws, ‘The Prophetsaww is calling youasws’.

فَجَاءَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ سَلِّمْ عَلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص جَبْرَئِيلُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ طُوبَى لَكَ وَ لِشِيعَتِكَ وَ مُحِبِّيكَ وَ الْوَيْلُ ثُمَّ الْوَيْلُ لِمُبْغِضِيكَ

Aliasws came and hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Greet unto Jibraeelas’. Aliasws said: ‘The greeting be unto youas, O Jibraeelas’. Heas returned the greetings. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Jibraeelas is saying that Allahazwj Conveys the greetings unto youas and says: “Beatitude is for youasws and for yourasws Shias and ones who love youasws, and the woe, then the woe is for ones who hate youasws!

إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنْ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ أَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ فَيُزَخُ‏ بِكُمَا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ حَتَّى تُوقَفَا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ فَيَقُولُ لِنَبِيِّهِ ع أَوْرِدْ عَلِيّاً الْحَوْضَ وَ هَذَا كَأْسٌ أَعْطِهِ حَتَّى يَسْقِيَ مُحِبِّيهِ وَ شِيعَتَهُ وَ لَا يَسْقِي أَحَداً مِنْ مُبْغِضِيهِ وَ يَأْمُرُ لِمُحِبِّيهِ أَنْ يُحَاسَبُوا حِسَاباً يَسِيراً وَ يُؤْمَرُ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ.

When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a caller will call out from interior of the Throne: “Where are Muhammadsaww and Aliasws?” Both of youasws would be raised to the sky until youasws stand in front of Allahazwj. Heazwj will Say to Hisazwj Prophetsaww: “Take Aliasws to the Fountain and give himasws this cup until heasws quenches ones who love himasws, and hisasws Shias, and heasws should not quench anyone from hisasws enemies, and order for ones who love himasws that they be Reckoned with an easy Reckoning, and commands them to (be taken to) the Paradise!”’²¹⁴

98- وَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ‏ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ مِنْ نُورِ وَجْهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ يُسَبِّحُونَهُ وَ يُقَدِّسُونَهُ‏ وَ يَكْتُبُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمُحِبِّيهِ وَ مُحِبِّي وُلْدِهِ‏.

And from Umar Bin Al Khattab who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted Created creatures of light of the face of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, seventy thousand (upon) thousand Angels, praising Himazwj, and extolling Hisazwj Holiness, and (Rewards of) that would be written for ones who love himasws, and love hisasws sonsasws’’.²¹⁵

99- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع‏ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ حَدَّثَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ عَلِمَ‏ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدِي وَ رَسُولِي وَ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالبٍ خَلِيفَتِي وَ أَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ حُجَجِي أَدْخَلْتُهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِي وَ نَجَّيْتُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ بِعَفْوِي وَ أَبَحْتُ لَهُ جِوَارِي وَ أَوْجَبْتُ لَهُ كَرَامَتِي وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَتِي وَ جَعَلْتُهُ مِنْ خَاصَّتِي وَ خَالِصَتِي

And by his chain, from Al-Sadiqasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Jibraeelas narrated to mesaww, from the Lordazwj of Might, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty having Said: “One who knows (acknowledges that there is no god except Iazwj Alone, and Muhammadsaww is Myazwj servant, and Myazwj Rasoolas, and Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Myazwj Caliph, and the Imamsasws from hisasws sonsasws are Myazwj Divine Authorities, Iazwj shall Enter him into the Paradise by Myazwj Mercy and Save him from the Fire by Myazwj Pardoning, and Allow Myazwj Vicinity for him, and Obligate Myazwj Benevolence for him, and Complete Myazwj Favours upon him, and Make him to be from Myazwj special ones and Myazwj sincere ones!”

إِنْ نَادَانِي لَبَّيْتُهُ وَ إِنْ دَعَانِي أَجَبْتُهُ وَ إِنْ سَأَلَنِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ وَ إِنْ سَكَتَ ابْتَدَأْتُهُ

If he calls Meazwj, Iazwj shall Attend to him, and if he supplicated to Meazwj Iazwj shall Answer him, and if he asks Meazwj Iazwj shall Grant him, and if he is silent, Iazwj shall Initiate him.

وَ إِنْ أَسَاءَ رَحِمْتُهُ وَ إِنْ فَرَّ مِنِّي دَعَوْتُهُ وَ إِنْ رَجَعَ إِلَيَّ قَبِلْتُهُ وَ إِنْ قَرَعَ بَابِي فَتَحْتُهُ

And if he offends, Iazwj shall Mercy him, and if he flees from Meazwj, Iazwj shall Invite him, and if he returns to Meazwj Iazwj shall Accept him, and if he knocks on Myazwj Door Iazwj shall Open it.

وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي أَوْ شَهِدَ بِذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدِي وَ رَسُولِي أَوْ شَهِدَ بِذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ خَلِيفَتِي أَوْ شَهِدَ بِذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ أَنَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ حُجَجِي فَقَدْ جَحَدَ نِعْمَتِي وَ صَغَّرَ عَظَمَتِي وَ كَفَرَ بِآيَاتِي وَ كُتُبِي وَ رُسُلِي

And one who does not testify that there is no god except Iazwj Alone, or testifies with that and does not testify that Muhammadsaww is Myazwj servant and Myazwj Rasoolsaww, or testifies with that and does not testify that Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws is Myazwj Caliph, or testifies with that and does not testify that the Imamsasws from hisasws sonsasws are Myazwj Divine Authorities, so he has rejected Myazwj bounty, and belittled Myazwj Magnificent, and disbelieved in Myazwj Signs and Myazwj Books and Myazwj Rasoolsas.

إِنْ قَصَدَنِي حَجَبْتُهُ وَ إِنْ سَأَلَنِي حَرَمْتُهُ وَ إِنْ نَادَانِي لَمْ أَسْمَعْ نِدَاءَهُ وَ إِنْ دَعَانِي لَمْ أَسْتَجِبْ‏ دُعَاءَهُ وَ إِنْ رَجَانِي خَيَّبْتُهُ وَ ذَلِكَ جَزَاؤُهُ مِنِّي‏ وَ ما أَنَا بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ

If he aims for Meazwj, Iazwj shall Block him, and if he asks Meazwj Iazwj shall Deprive him, and if he calls Meazwj Iazwj will not Listen to his call, and if he supplicates to Meazwj Iazwj will not Answer his supplication, and if he hopes in Meazwj Iazwj shall Disappoint him, and that is his Recompense from Meazwj, and I am not the least unjust to the servants!” [50:29]”’.

فَقَامَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنِ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ وُلْدِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And who are the Imamsasws from the sonsasws of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws?’

قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ سَيِّدُ الْعَابِدِينَ فِي زَمَانِهِ‏ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ثُمَّ الْبَاقِرُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ سَتُدْرِكُهُ يَا جَابِرُ فَإِذَا أَدْرَكْتَهُ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ

Hesaww said: ‘Hesaww said: ‘Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are chiefs of the inhabitants of the Paradise, then chief of the worshippers during hisasws time Aliasws Bin Al-Husayn, then Al-Baqir Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, and you will come across himasws, O Jabir! So, when you do come across himasws, then convey to himasws the greetings from mesaww.

Heasws will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny.

They, O Jabir, are mysaww caliphs, and mysaww succesorsasws, and mysaww offspring. One who obeys themasws so he had obeyed mesaww, and one who disobeys themasws, so he has disobeyed mesaww, and one who denies themasws or denies (even) one of themasws, so he has denied mesaww.

وَ بِهِمْ يُمْسِكُ اللَّهُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَ بِهِمْ يَحْفَظُ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَمِيدَ بِأَهْلِهَا.

And by themasws, Allahazwj Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by Hisazwj Permission, and by themasws Allahazwj Protects the earth from shaking with its inhabitants’’.²¹⁶

And from Ibn Umar (Non-Shia source) who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who loves Aliasws, Allahazwj the Exalted would Accept from him, his Salat, and his Fasts, and his standing (at night for Salat), and Answer his supplication. Indeed! And one who loves Aliasws, Allahazwj would Give him for every hair in his body, a city in the Paradise.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَمِنَ مِنَ‏ الْحِسَابِ وَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ الصِّرَاطِ أَلَا وَ مَنْ مَاتَ عَلَى حُبِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَنَا كَفِيلُهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ

Indeed! And one who loves Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww would be safe from the Reckoning, and the scale, and the bridge. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, so Isaww am his guarantor of the Paradise with the Paradise. Indeed!

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَكْتُوباً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ آيِسٌ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ‏.

Indeed! And one who hates Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww would come on the Day of Qiyamah with a writing between his eyes: ‘Despaired from Mercy of Allahazwj’’.²¹⁷

And from Muhammadasws Bin Ali Al-Taqiasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, from Al-Baqirasws, from (Syeda) Fatimaasws Bint Al-Husaynasws, from heras fatherasws, and heras uncle Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws, from Amir Al-Momineenasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When Isaww entered the Paradise, Isaww saw therein a tree bearing the jewellery and the garments. Its lower part had spotted horses, and its middle part has the Maiden Houries, and in its top part was Al-Rizwaan (keeper).

قُلْتُ‏ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ لِمَنْ هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةُ قَالَ هَذِهِ لِابْنِ عَمِّكَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ الْخَلِيقَةَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْجَنَّةَ يُؤْتَى بِشِيعَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ بِهِمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةِ فَيُلْبَسُونَ الْحُلِيَّ وَ الْحُلَلَ وَ يُرْكَبُونَ خَيْلَ الْبُلْقِ وَ يُنَادِي مُنَادٍ هَؤُلَاءِ شِيعَةُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَبَرُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْأَذَى فَحُبُوا الْيَوْمَ‏.

Isaww said to Jibraeelas: ‘For whom is this tree?’ Heas said: ‘This is for the sonasws of yoursaww uncleas Amir Al-Momineenasws. When Allahazwj Commands the creatures to enter the Paradise, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws would come with Shias until heasws ends up with them to this tree. They would be wearing the ornaments and the garments, and they would be riding the spotted horses, and a caller will call out: ‘They are the Shias of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws! They were patient in the world upon the harm, so they are awarded today!’’²¹⁸

And from Al-Rezaasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, from Al-Husaynasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When there was an ascension with me to the sky, mysaww fatheras Noahas met mesaww. Heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Whom have yousaww made left behind (as caliph) upon yoursaww community?’ Isaww said: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’. Heas said: ‘Best is the caliph yousaww left behind’.

Then mysaww brotheras Musaas met mesaww. Heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Whom have yousaww left behind (as caliph) upon yoursaww community?’ Isaww said: ‘Aliasws’. Heas said: ‘Best is the caliph yousaww left behind’.

Then mysaww brotheras Isaas met mesaww. Heas said to mesaww: ‘Whom have yousaww left behind?’ Isaww said: ‘Aliasws’. Heas said: ‘Best is the caliph yousaww left behind’.

قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَا لِي لَا أَرَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ فَعَدَلَ بِي إِلَى حَظِيرَةٍ فَإِذَا فِيهَا شَجَرَةٌ لَهَا ضُرُوعٌ كَضُرُوعِ الْغَنَمِ كُلَّمَا خَرَجَ ضَرْعٌ مِنْ فَمِ وَاحِدٍ رَدَّهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ‏

Hesaww said: ‘Isaww said to Jibraeelas: ‘O Jibraeelas! What is the matter Isaww do not see Ibrahimas?’ Heas diverted mesaww to a yard, and there was a tree therein having udders for it like the udders of the sheep (feeding children). Every time an udder came out from a mouth of one (child) Allahazwj the Exalted returned it to him.

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ خَلَّفْتَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَقُلْتُ عَلِيّاً فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْخَلِيفَةُ خَلَّفْتَ إِنِّي يَا مُحَمَّدُ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ رَبِّي أَنْ يُوَلِّيَنِي غِذَاءَ أَطْفَالِ شِيعَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَأَنَا أُغَذِّيهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Whom have yousaww left behind upon yoursaww community?’ Isaww said: ‘Aliasws’. Heas said: ‘Best is the caliph yousaww have left behind. O Muhammadsaww! Ias asked Allahazwj, myas Lordazwj to Make meas to be in charge of providing the (deceased) children of the Shias of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, so Ias am providing (feeding) them up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.²¹⁹

From Aasim Bin Humeyr, from Abu Hamza, from Hubeysg Bin Al Mo’tamar who said,

‘I entered to see Aliasws and heasws was in Al-Rahba, reclining. I said, ‘The greeting be upon youasws, O Amir Al-Momineenasws, and Mercy of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Blessings! How is yourasws morning?’

قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ رَدَّ عَلَيَّ وَ قَالَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ اللَّهِ مُحِبّاً لِمُحِبِّنَا صَابِراً عَلَى بُغْضِ مُبْغِضِنَا إِنَّ مُحِبَّنَا يَنْتَظِرُ الرَّوْحَ وَ الْفَرَجَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ وَ إِنَ‏ مُبْغِضَنَا بَنَى بُنْيَاناً فَأَسَّسَ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا بُنْيَانُهُ قَدْ انْهَارَ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws raised hisasws head and returned (the greetings) unto me, and said: ‘By Allahazwj! Iasws have become (more) loving to ones who love usasws (who are) patient upon the hatred of ones who hate usasws. The ones loving usasws are awaiting the rest and the relief during every day and night, and ones who hate usasws have built a building, the foundations of its construction is upon the brink of a cliff so it collapses with him into the Fire of Hell? [9:109]. So, it is as if his building has (already) collapsed’’.²²¹

And Abu Abdullahasws said to Dawood Al-Raqy: ‘Shall Iasws narrate to you with the good deed which, one who comes with it, would be safe from the panic of the Day of Qiyamah, and with the evil deed which, one who comes with it, Allahazwj would Fling him upon his face into the Fire?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘The good deed is loving usasws, and the evil deed is hating usasws’’.²²²

And from Al Haris Al Awr who said,

‘I came to Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heasws said: ‘What have you come with?’ I said, ‘Yourasws love’. Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj! Allahazwj! You have not come with except myasws love?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

Heasws said: ‘But, Iasws shall narrate to you with its appreciation. Verily, no servant dies loving measws until he sees me where he loves, nor does a servant die hating measws until he sees measws where he dislikes’’.²²³

And heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj, weasws will be interceding! By Allahazwj, weasws will be interceding!’ – three times, ‘To the extent that ourasws enemies will be saying, So, there is none for us from the intercessors [26:100] Nor an intimate friend [26:101].

إِنَّ شِيعَتَنَا يَأْخُذُونَ بِحُجَزِنَا وَ نَحْنُ آخِذُونَ بِحُجْزَةِ نَبِيِّنَا وَ نَبِيُّنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجْزَةِ اللَّهِ.

Ourasws Shias would be holding to ourasws sides, and weasws would be holding to the side of ourasws Prophetsaww, and our Prophetsaww would be holding with the Side (Light) of Allahazwj’’.²²⁵

109 وَ قَالَ لَهُ زِيَادٌ الْأَسْوَدُ إِنِّي أُلِمُّ بِالذُّنُوبِ فَأَخَافُ الْهَلَكَةَ ثُمَّ أَذْكُرُ حُبَّكُمْ فَأَرْجُو النَّجَاةَ

And Ziyad Al-Aswad said to himasws, ‘I am troubled by the sins, and I fear the destruction. Then I remember yourasws love, and I hope for the salvation’.

فَقَالَ ع وَ هَلِ الدِّينُ إِلَّا الْحُبُّ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْكُمُ الْإِيمانَ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِي يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ‏

Heasws said: ‘And is the Religion except the love? Allahazwj the Exalted Says: Endeared the Eman to you [49:7], and Said: ‘If you love Allah, then follow me. Allah will Love you [3:31].

وَ قَالَ‏ رَجُلٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَتُحِبُّنِي فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ إِي وَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ.

And a man said to Rasool-Allahsaww, ‘Surely I love yousaww!’ Hesaww said: ‘You love mesaww?’ The man said, ‘Yes, by Allahazwj’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘You will be with the one you love’’.²²⁶

110 وَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لِلْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عِشْرُونَ خَصْلَةً يَفِي لَهُ بِهَا لَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ لَا يَفْتِنَهُ وَ لَا يُضِلَّهُ وَ لَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يُعَرِّيَهُ‏ وَ لَا يُجَوِّعَهُ

For him, upon Allahazwj the Exalted is that Heazwj would neither (let him be) tempted nor stray; and for him, upon Allahazwj is that Heazwj would neither (let him be) bare nor hungry;

111 وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ فَرَجِ الْكَرْبِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ تَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ شُعَباً وَ رَجَعْتُمْ أَنْتُمْ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ فَأَرَدْتُمْ مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ وَ أَحْبَبْتُمْ مَنْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ وَ اخْتَرْتُمْ مَنِ اخْتَارَهُ اللَّهُ

And from the book ‘Farj Al Karb’, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The people will separate in (various) branches, and you (Shias) would refer to Peopleasws of the Household of your Prophetsaww, for you want what Allahazwj Wants, and you love the ones Allahazwj Loves, and you choose what Allahazwj Chooses.

فَأَبْشِرُوا وَ اسْتَبْشِرُوا فَأَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ الْمَرْحُومُونَ الْمُتَقَبَّلُ مِنْكُمْ حَسَنَاتُكُمْ الْمُتَجَاوَزُ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِكُمْ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ

Receive glad tidings and rejoice, for by Allahazwj, you are the Mercied ones, the ones whose good deeds are Accepted from them, and your evil deeds are Overlooked. Have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الذُّنُوبَ تَسَاقَطُ عَنْ ظُهُورِ شِيعَتِنَا كَمَا تُسْقِطُ الرِّيحُ الْوَرَقَ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ وَ تَرَى الْمَلائِكَةَ حَافِّينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ‏ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ اللَّهِ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The sins fall off from the backs of our Shias just as the wind tends to drop the leaves from the tree, and that is the Word of the Exalted: And you shall see the Angels surrounding the Throne Glorifying with the Praise of their Lord, [39:75] and are seeking Forgiveness for those who believe, [40:7]. And Allahazwj, by Allahazwj O Abu Muhammad, Allahazwj does not Intend with this apart from you (Shias). So, have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, Increase for me.

فَقَالَ قَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَزَّ مِنْ قَائِلٍ‏ رِجالٌ صَدَقُوا ما عاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ‏ يُرِيدُ أَنَّكُمْ وَفَيْتُمْ بِمَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِيثَاقَهُ مِنْ وَلَايَتِنَا وَ أَنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَسْتَبْدِلُوا بِنَا غَيْرَنَا

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj has Mentioned you (Shias) in Hisazwj Mighty Book from a speaker, men who ratified what they made a pact with Allah upon. [33:23]. Heazwj Intends you (Shias). You were loyal with Hisazwj Covenant which was Taken upon you all of ourasws Wilayah, and you did not replace others with usasws.

وَ قَالَ‏ الْأَخِلَّاءُ يَوْمَئِذٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ عَدُوٌّ إِلَّا الْمُتَّقِينَ‏ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَنَى بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ فَقُلْتُ زِدْنِي

And Heazwj Said: ‘The friends on that Day would be enemies of each other, except for the pious [43:67]. By Allahazwj! Heazwj does not Intend by this apart from you (Shias). Have Iasws cheered you, O Abu Muhammad?’ I said, ‘(Yes), Increase for me’.

‏ قَالَ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ‏ إِخْواناً عَلى‏ سُرُرٍ مُتَقابِلِينَ‏ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj has Mentioned you (Shias) in Hisazwj Book where Heazwj Said: as brethren upon couches face to face [15:47]. By Allahazwj! Allahazwj does not Mean by this apart from you (Shias). Have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, increase for me’.

قَالَ وَ قَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِقَوْلِهِ‏ فَأُولئِكَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ‏ فَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ النَّبِيُّونَ وَ نَحْنُ الصِّدِّيقُونَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءُ وَ أَنْتُمُ الصَّالِحُونَ وَ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ شِيعَتُنَا فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj the Exalted Mentioned you (Shias) by Hisazwj Words: so they are those upon whom Allah has Bestowed Favours from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; [4:69]. So, Rasool-Allahsaww in this place is (referred to as) ‘the Prophets’, and we (Imamsasws) are ‘the truthful and the martyrs’, and you (Shias) are ‘the righteous’, and by Allahazwj you are ourasws Shias! Have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, increase for me’.

فَقَالَ لَقَدِ اسْتَثْنَاكُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ فَقَالَ‏ إِنَّ عِبادِي لَيْسَ لَكَ عَلَيْهِمْ سُلْطانٌ‏ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَنَى بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ فَهَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted has Excluded you (Shias) from the Satanla: there wouldn’t be any authority for you upon them, [15:42]. By Allahazwj! Heazwj did not Mean by this apart from you (Shias). Have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, increase for me’.

فَقَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلى‏ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَنَى بِهَذَا غَيْرَكُمْ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ قُلْتُ زِدْنِي

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Said: Say: ‘O My servants, those who have been extravagant upon themselves! Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether. [39:53]. By Allahazwj! Heazwj does not Mean by this apart from you (Shias). Have Iasws cheered you, O Abu Muhammad?’ I said, ‘(Yes), increase for me’.

‏ فَقَالَ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهِ لِأَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ لَا أَتْبَاعِهِمْ مَا خَلَا شِيعَتَنَا فَقَالَ عَزَّ مِنْ قَائِلٍ‏ يَوْمَ لا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَنْ مَوْلًى شَيْئاً وَ لا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ هُمْ شِيعَتُنَا يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قُلْتُ زِدْنِي‏ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ‏

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Allahazwj the Exalted did not Make and exclusion by it for anyone from the Prophetsas, nor theiras followers, apart from ourasws Shias. So, the Mighty Said from a speaker: A Day, neither will a friend avail anything from a friend, nor would they be helped [44:41] Except one Allah Mercies. Surely He is the Mighty, the Merciful [44:42], and they are ourasws Shias. O Abu Muhammad! Have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘(Yes) Increase for me, O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ لَقَدْ ذَكَرَكُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ حَيْثُ قَالَ‏ هَلْ يَسْتَوِي الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُونَ وَ الَّذِينَ لا يَعْلَمُونَ إِنَّما يَتَذَكَّرُ أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ‏ فَنَحْنُ الَّذِينَ نَعْلَمُ وَ أَعْدَاؤُنَا الَّذِينَ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ شِيعَتُنَا هُمْ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ قُلْتُ زِدْنِي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj the Exalted has Mentioned you (Shias) in Hisazwj Book where Heazwj Says: ‘Are they equal, those who do not know and those do know?’ But rather, the ones of the understanding will heed [39:9]. Weasws are those who know, and ourasws enemies are those who do not know, and ourasws Shias, they are the ones of understanding’. I said, ‘Increase for me, O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا يُحْصَى تَضَاعُفُ ثَوَابِكُمْ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا مِنْ آيَةٍ تَعُودُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ تَذْكُرُ أَهْلَهَا بِخَيْرٍ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ فِينَا وَ فِيكُمْ مَا مِنْ آيَةٍ تَسُوقُ إِلَى النَّارِ إِلَّا وَ هِيَ فِي عَدُوِّنَا وَ مَنْ خَالَفَنَا

Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammadsaww! The multiplication of your Rewards cannot be counted. O Abu Muhammad! There is no Verse familiarising to the Paradise and mentioning its inhabitants with goodness, except and it is regarding usasws and regarding you (Shias). And there is no Verse ushering to the Fire except and it is regarding ourasws enemies and the ones opposing usasws.

وَ اللَّهِ مَا عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع غَيْرُنَا وَ غَيْرُكُمْ وَ إِنَّ سَائِرَ النَّاسِ مِنْكُمْ بِرَاءٌ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ هَلْ سَرَرْتُكَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ فَرِحاً.

By Allahazwj! There is no one upon the Religion of Muhammadsaww and Nation (Religion) of Ibrahimas apart from usasws and you (Shias), and the rest of the people are away from you. O Abu Muhammadsaww! Have Iasws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww, and may I be sacrificed for youasws’. Then I left happy’’.²²⁸

112 وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ فَقَالَ مَنِ انْتَحَلَ وَلَايَتَنَا فَقَدْ جَازَ الْعَقَبَةَ فَنَحْنُ تِلْكَ الْعَقَبَةُ الَّتِي مَنِ اقْتَحَمَهَا نَجَا

And from Abu Abdullahasws regarding Words of the Exalted: But he does not attempt the uphill road [90:11]. Heasws said: ‘One who embraces ourasws Wilayah, so he has crossed the uphill road. Weasws are that uphill road which, one who attempts it, would attain salvation.

ثُمَّ مَهْلًا أُفِيدُكَ حَرْفاً هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَكَّ رِقَابَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ بِوَلَايَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ أَنْتُمْ صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ يَأْتِي بِذُنُوبٍ مِثْلِ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ لَشَفَعْنَا فِيهِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Then let measws briefly benefit you with a phrase which is better for you than the world and whatever is in it, the Words of the Exalted: Freeing a neck [90:13]. Allahazwj has Freed your (Shias) necks from the Fire due to ourasws Wilayah of Peopleasws of the Household, and you are the elites of Allahazwj, and even if the man from you were to come with sins like the grains of sand of a desert, weasws shall intercede regarding him in the Presence of Allahazwj the Exalted.

فَلَكُمُ الْبُشْرَى‏ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِماتِ اللَّهِ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ‏.

Thus, the glad tidings are for you (Shias), in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There is no replacement for the Words of Allah. That is the Mighty achievement [10:64]’’.²²⁹

113 وَ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ وَ أَبُو حَسَّانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ نَنْتَظِرُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً وَ أَهْلًا وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ رِيحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَعَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ

And from Muyassir who said,

‘I, and Alqamah Bin Al-Hazramy, and Abu Hassan Al-Ijaly, and Abdullah Bin Ijlan were awaiting Abu Ja’farasws. Heasws came out to us and said: ‘Be/Stay Blessed and welcome! By Allahazwj, Iasws love your aromas and your spirits. You are upon the Religion of Allahazwj’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلْقَمَةُ فَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ تَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

Al-qamah said to himasws, ‘So the one who was upon the Religion of Allahazwj, do youasws testify that he would be from the inhabitants of the Paradise?’

قَالَ فَمَكَثَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ بُورُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا قَارَفْتُمُ الْكَبَائِرَ فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ قُلْنَا وَ مَا الْكَبَائِرُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws paused for a while, then said: ‘Purify yourselves, if you do not happen to be disgraced by the major sins, then Iasws testify’. We said, ‘And what are the major sins?’

قَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ أَكْلُ‏ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ وَ قَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَةِ وَ عُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ قَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَ الرِّبَا وَ الْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ قَالَ مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ أَصَابَ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئاً

Heasws said: ‘The Shirk (association) with Allahazwj the Magnificent, and devouring wealth of the orphan, and slandering the married woman, and disloyalty with the parents, and killing the soul (without right), and the usury (interest), and fleeing from the army’. He said, ‘There is no one from us doing anything from this’.

فَقَالَ فَأَنْتُمْ إِذاً نَاجُونَ فَاجْعَلُوا أَمْرَكُمْ هَذَا لِلَّهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلُوهُ لِلنَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُ مَا كَانَ لِلنَّاسِ فَهُوَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ

Heasws said: ‘Then you shall attain salvation, therefore make this matter of yours to be for the Sake of Allahazwj and do not make it to be for the sake of the people. Whatever would be for the people, so it is for the people, and whatever would be for Allahazwj, it would be for Himazwj.

فَلَا تُخَاصِمُوا النَّاسَ بِدِينِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْخُصُومَةَ مَمْرَضَةٌ لِلْقَلْبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ص‏ إِنَّكَ لا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ أَ فَأَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

Do not contend (argue) the people with your Religion, for the contention is a disease of the heart. Allahazwj Said to Hisazwj Prophetsaww: Surely, you cannot guide the one you love, but Allah will Guide the one He so Desires to [28:56]. And Heazwj Said: So will you force the people until they become Momineen? [10:99]’’.²³⁰

114 وَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ شِيعَتُنَا أَقْرَبُ الْخَلْقِ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

And from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘Ourasws Shias would be the closest of the creature from the Throne of Allahazwj on the Day of Qiyamah’.

وَ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ تَحِيَّةِ اللَّهِ بِالسَّلَامِ وَ أَهْلُ أَثَرَةِ اللَّهِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ تَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ بِعِصْمَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ دَعْوَتِهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ‏ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لا أَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ‏

And heasws said: ‘You (Shias) are the people of the Salutations of Allahazwj with the Islam, and the people Allahazwj Preferred with Hisazwj Mercy, and people of the Inclination of Allahazwj by Hisazwj Protection, and people of Hisazwj Call with Hisazwj obedience. There will neither be fear upon you nor will you be grieving.

أَسْمَاؤُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا الصَّالِحُونَ الْمُصْلِحُونَ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ الرِّضَا لِرِضَائِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الْخَيْرِ فَإِذَا اجْتَهَدْتُمْ ادْعُوا وَ إِذَا أَذْنَبْتُمْ اسْتَغْفِرُوا

Your names with usasws are ‘the righteous ones’, ‘the reconcilers’, and you are the people pleased to Hisazwj Pleasure, and the Angels are your brothers in the goodness. So, whenever you struggle, they supplicate, and whenever you commit sins, they seek Forgiveness.

وَ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ بَعْدَنَا دِيَارُكُمْ لَكُمْ جَنَّةٌ وَ قُبُورُكُمْ لَكُمْ جَنَّةٌ- لِلْجَنَّةِ خُلِقْتُمْ وَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نَعِيمُكُمْ وَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ تَسِيرُونَ.

And you are the best of the created beings after usasws. Your houses are a garden (paradise) for you, and your graves are a garden for you. You were created for the Paradise, and in the Paradise would be your bliss, and to the Paradise you will be travelling’’.²³¹

115 وَ رَوَى خَالِدُ بْنُ نَجِيحٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ وَ أَهْلًا وَ سَهْلًا وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَسْتَأْنِسُ بِرُؤْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ مَا أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا لِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ لِقَرَابَتِنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

And it is reported by Khalid Bin Najeeh who said,

‘We entered to see Abu Abdullahasws. Heasws said: ‘Hell to you all and welcome, and ease. By Allahazwj! Weasws get comforted by sighting you (Shias). But, you are not loving usasws due to the nearness between usasws and you, but for the nearness of usasws from Rasool-Allahsaww.

فَالْحُبُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى غَيْرِ دُنْيَا أَصَبْتُمُوهَا مِنَّا وَ لَا مَالٍ أُعْطِيتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجَبْتُمُونَا فِي تَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

The love for Rasool-Allahazwj is upon without any worldly matter you can attain from usasws nor wealth weasws are giving you upon it. You are loving usasws regarding Tawheed of Allahazwj Alone, there being no associate for Himazwj.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَضَى عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ‏ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ هالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ‏ وَ لَيْسَ يَبْقَى إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

Allahazwj Decreed upon the inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earth Saying: All things will perish except for His Face [28:88], and nothing will last except Allahazwj Alone, there being no associate for Himazwj.

اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا كَانُوا مَعَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَاجْعَلْهُمْ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا كَانَ سِرُّهُمْ عَلَى سِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتُهُمْ عَلَى عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ فَاجْعَلْهُمْ فِي ثِقْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

O Allahazwj! Just as they have been with Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww in the world, so Make them to be with themasws in the Hereafter. O Allahazwj! Just as they had been secretive upon theirasws secretiveness, and opened upon theirasws openness, so Make them to be among the important ones of Muhammadsaww on the Day of Qiyamah’’.²³²

116 وَ سَأَلَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ مَنْ يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْراً كَثِيراً مَا عَنَى بِذَلِكَ

And Abu Baseer asked himasws about the Words of Allahazwj the Exalted: And the one who is Given the Wisdom, so he has been Given abundant good [2:269], ‘What is the meaning of that?’

فَقَالَ مَعْرِفَةَ الْإِمَامِ وَ اجْتِنَابَ الْكَبَائِرِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ‏ وَ لَيْسَ فِي رَقَبَتِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لِإِمَامٍ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَ لَا يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفُوا إِمَامَهُمْ

Heasws said: ‘Recognition of the Imamasws and shunning the major sins; and one who dies and there isn’t in his neck an allegiance to the Imamasws, dies a death of the pre-Islamic period, nor are the people excused until they do recognise their Imamasws.

فَمَنْ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ عَارِفٌ لِإِمَامِهِ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ تَقَدَّمَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ أَوْ تَأَخَّرَ فَكَانَ كَمَنْ هُوَ مَعَ الْقَائِمِ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ

So, the one who dies and he is a recogniser of his Imamasws, it would not harm him whether this command (rising of Al-Qaimasws) is brought forward or delayed, and he would be like the one who is with Al-Qaimasws in hisasws tent’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ كَمَنْ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ وَ اللَّهِ كَمَنِ اسْتُشْهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws paused for a while, then said: ‘No, but like the one who fought alongside himasws’. Then heasws said: ‘No, but, by Allahazwj, like the one who was martyred with Rasool-Allahsaww’’.²³³

117 وَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع- لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نَهَراً أَبْيَضَ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِيهِ أَبَارِيقُ عَدَدَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى شَاطِئِهِ قِبَابُ الْيَاقُوتِ الْأَحْمَرِ وَ الدُّرِّ الْأَبْيَضِ فَضَرَبَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِجَنَاحِهِ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ

And from Al Haris Bin Al Ahowl who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Aliasws: ‘When there was an ascension (Mi’raj) with mesaww, Isaww saw in the Paradise, a river whiter than milk, and sweeter than honey, and straighter than an arrow. In it were pitchers the number of the stars. Upon its banks were domes of red sapphire, and while gems. So Jibraeelas flapped hisas wings to its side, so it was yellow Musk’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ فِيهَا لَشَجَراً يُصَفِّقْنَ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ بِصَوْتٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخَرُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ يُثْمِرْنَ أَثْدَاءً كَالرُّمَّانِ تُلْقِي الثَّمَرَةَ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَيَشُقُّهَا عَنْ سَبْعِينَ حُلَّةً وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَى كَرَاسِيَّ مِنْ نُورٍ وَ هُمُ الْغُرُّ الْمُحَجَّلُونَ وَ أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ نَعْلَانِ يُضِي‏ءُ لَهُ شِرَاكُهُمَا أَمَامَهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ

Then hesaww said: ‘By the One is Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammadsaww, in the Paradise there are trees which Glorify with the Glorification with a sound which none from the Former ones or the Later ones have heard the like of, bearing fruit like the pomegranate fruits. The fruit it place for the man from seventy curtains, and the Believers would be upon the chairs of Light, honourable, resplendent faced. Youasws are their Imamasws on the Day of Judgement. Upon the man would be sandals with straps of light, illuminating their front wherever they may go in the Paradise.

فَبَيْنَا الْمُؤْمِنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ فَتَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا لَنَا مِنْكَ دَوْلَةٌ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ أَنْتِ فَتَقُولُ أَنَا مِنَ اللَّوَاتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ لَدَيْنا مَزِيدٌ

While the Momin would be like that when a woman overlook upon him from above them and she would say, ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! O servant of Allahazwj, is there no right for us from you?’ He would say, ‘And who are you?’ She would say, ‘I am from those Allahazwj Said: and with Us would be more yet [50:35].

فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَى مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ فَتَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا لَنَا مِنْكَ دَوْلَةٌ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ أَنْتِ فَتَقُولُ أَنَا مِنَ اللَّوَاتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ فَلا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ ما أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزاءً بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ‏

While he is like that when another would overlook from above them and she would say, ‘Glory be to Allahazwj, O servant of Allahazwj! Is there no right for us from you?’ He would say, ‘And who are you?’ She would say, ‘I am from those Allahazwj Said: So no soul knows what is hidden for them from delight of the eyes, being a Recompense of what they had been doing [32:17]’’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَجِيئُهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُسَمُّونَهُ بِاسْمِهِ وَ اسْمِ أَبِيهِ.

Then heasws said: ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammadsaww! Seventy thousand Angels would come to him, naming him with his name and name of his father’’. ²³⁴

118 وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ وَفَدَ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَفْدٌ فَقَالُوا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا وَفَدُوا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ وَفَدْنَا نَحْنُ إِلَيْكَ

And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘A delegation came to Al-Husaynasws and they said, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! Our companions have sent a delegation to Muawiya and we have come as a delegation to youasws’.

فَقَالَ إِذَنْ أُجِيزُكُمْ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يُجِيزُهُمْ فَقَالُوا جُعِلْنَا فِدَاكَ إِنَّمَا جِئْنَا لِدِينِنَا

Heasws said: ‘Then you will be Recompensed with more than what they would be recompensed’. They said, ‘May we be sacrificed for youasws! But rather, we came for our Religion (not for worldly matters)’.

قَالَ فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ وَ نَكَتَ‏ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ أَطْرَقَ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ قَصِيرَةٌ مِنْ طَوِيلَةٍ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا لَمْ يُحِبَّنَا لِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ لَا لِمَعْرُوفٍ أَسْدَيْنَاه إِلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا أَحَبَّنَا لِلَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ جَاءَ مَعَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ‏ وَ قَرَنَ بَيْنَ سَبَّابَتَيْهِ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws lowered hisasws head and drew lines in the ground and kept hisasws head down for a long time. Then heasws raised hisasws head and said: ‘Short from the long, one who loves usasws, not loving usasws for nearness between usasws and him, nor for an act of kindness weasws would do to him, but rather loving usasws for the Sake of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, would come with usasws on the Day of Qiyamah like these two’ – and heasws paired between hisasws fingers’’.²³⁵

119 كِتَابُ الْمُحْتَضَرِ، لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ رِوَايَةُ سَعْدٍ الْإِرْبِلِيِّ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذْ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌ‏ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَوَقَفَ وَ سَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَاءَ مِنْكَ رَسُولٌ يَدْعُونَّا إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمْنَا ثُمَّ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ الْجِهَادِ فَرَأَيْنَاهُ حَسَناً ثُمَّ نَهَيْتَنَا عَنِ الزِّنَا وَ السَّرِقَةِ وَ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُكَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نُحِبَّ صِهْرَكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَمَا السِّرُّ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ مَا نَرَاهُ عِبَادَةً

The book ‘Al Mojizaat’ of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman, from what is reported from (the book) ‘Al Arbaeen’, reported by Sa’ad Al Arbily, raising it to,

‘Salman Al-Farsira having said: ‘We were in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww when a Bedouin from the clan of Aamir came and stood and greeted. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! A messenger came from yousaww calling us to Al-Islam, so we became Muslims. Then (called) to the Salat, and the Fasts, and the Jihad. We viewed it as good. Then yousaww Prohibited us from the adultery, and the theft, and the backbiting, and the evil, so we refrained. Yoursaww messenger said to us that we should love yoursaww son-in-law Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. What is the secret regarding that, and we do not view it as (an act of) worship?’

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِخَمْسِ خِصَالٍ أَوَّلُهَا أَنِّي كُنْتُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ جَالِساً بَعْدَ أَنْ غَزَوْنَا إِذْ هَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ بَاهَيْتُ الْيَوْمَ بِعَلِيٍّ مَلَائِكَتِي وَ هُوَ يَجُولُ بَيْنَ الصُّفُوفِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُكَبِّرُ مَعَهُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي لَا أُلْهِمُ حُبَّهُ إِلَّا مَنْ أُحِبُّهُ وَ لَا أُلْهِمُ بُغْضَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ أُبْغِضُهُ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘For five characteristics. The first of it is that Isaww was seated on the day of Badr after we had battled, when Jibraeelas descended and said: ‘Allahazwj Coveys the greetings to yousaww and Says: “Today Iazwj Boasted to Myazwj Angles with Aliasws and heasws was roaming between the rows and saying: ‘Allahazwj is the Greatest!’, and the Angels were exclaiming Takbeer along with himasws. By Allahazwj! Iazwj will not Inspire hisasws love except to the one Iazwj Love, nor will Iazwj Inspire hisasws hatred except to the one Iazwj Hate!”

وَ الثَّانِيَةُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ جَالِساً وَ قَدْ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ جِهَازِ عَمِّي حَمْزَةَ إِذْ أَتَانِي‏ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فَرَضْتُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ وَضَعْتُهَا عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ وَ فَرَضْتُ‏ الصَّوْمَ وَ وَضَعْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ وَ الْمُسَافِرِ وَ فَرَضْتُ الْحَجَّ وَ وَضَعْتُهُ عَن الْمُقِلِّ الْمُدْقِعِ‏ وَ فَرَضْتُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ وَضَعْتُهَا عَمَّنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ النِّصَابَ وَ جَعَلْتُ حُبَّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُخْصَةٌ

And the second, Isaww was seated on the day of Ohad and wesaww had battled and wesaww were free from preparing mysaww (martyred) uncle Hamzaasws, when Jibraeelas came to mesaww and said: ‘O Muhammad! Allahazwj Says: “Iazwj Obligated the Salat and Placed and Dropped in from the sick one, and Obligated the Fasts and Dropped if from the sick one and the traveller, and Obligated the Hajj, and Dropped it from the poor and the destitute, and Obligated the Zakat and Dropped it from the one who does not own the (adequate) share, and Made the love of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws (an Obligation) not having any allowance in it.

الثَّالِثَةُ أَنَّهُ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كِتَاباً وَ لَا خَلَقَ خَلْقاً إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ سَيِّداً فَالْقُرْآنُ سَيِّدُ الْكُتُبِ الْمُنْزَلَةِ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ سَيِّدُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَوْ قَالَ إِسْرَافِيلُ وَ أَنَا سَيِّدُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ عَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ لِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَيِّدٌ وَ حُبِّي وَ حُبُّ عَلِيٍّ سَيِّدُ مَا تَقَرَّبَ بِهِ الْمُتَقَرِّبُونَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ رَبِّهِمْ

(And) the third, Allahazwj did not Send down a Book nor Created a creature except Heazwj Made a chief to be for him. The Quran is the chief of the Revealed Books, and Jibraeelas is chief of the Angels’ – or said: ‘Israfeelas, and Isaww am chief of the Prophetsas, and Aliasws is chief of the succesorsasws, and for every matter there is a chief, and mysaww love and love of Aliasws is chief of what the ones of proximity can draw near to their Lordazwj.

الرَّابِعَةُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَلْقَى فِي رُوعِي أَنَّ حُبَّهُ‏ شَجَرَةُ طُوبَى الَّتِي غَرَسَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِيَدِهِ

The fourth is that Allahazwj Cast in mysaww soul that hisasws love is the tree of Tooba which Allahazwj the Exalted Planted it with Hisazwj Hands.

الْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ نُصِبَ لَكَ‏ مِنْبَرٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْعَرْشِ وَ النَّبِيُّونَ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْعَرْشِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ‏ وَ نُصِبَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع كُرْسِيٌّ إِلَى جَانِبِكَ‏ إِكْرَاماً لَهُ

The fifth is that Jibraeelas said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a pulpit would be set up for yousaww on the right of the Throne, and the Prophetsas, all of themas would be on the left of the Throne, and in front of it, and a chair would be set up to yoursaww side in honour for himasws’.

فَمَنْ هَذِهِ خَصَائِصُهُ يَجِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُحِبُّوهُ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ سَمْعاً وَ طَاعَةً.

So, from these specialities of hisasws, it Obligates upon you all that you love himasws’. The Bedouin said, ‘I hear and obey’’.²³⁶

120 وَ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ‏ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: اكْتَنَفْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَوْماً فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ‏ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُكَ‏ تَقُولُ- الْجَنَّةُ مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَهَا

And from what is reported from the Tafseer of Muhammad Bin Al Abbas Bin Marwan, from Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Abu Shayba, from Zakariya Bin Yahya, from Umar Bin Sabit, from his father, from Aasim Bin Zamrah, from Jabir Bin Abdullah who said,

‘We had surrounded Rasool-Allahsaww one day in Masjid of Al-Medina, and one of our companions mentioned the Paradise. Abu Dajjana said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘I heard yousaww saying the Paradise is Prohibited unto the Prophetsas and the rest of the communities until yousaww enter it (first)’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا دُجَانَةَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِوَاءً مِنْ نُورٍ وَ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ خَلَقَهُمَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ‏ بِأَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اللِّوَاءِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ صَاحِبُ اللِّوَاءِ عَلِيٌّ إِمَامُ الْقَوْمِ

Hesaww said to him: ‘O Abu Dajjana! Don’t you know that for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic there is a flag of light, and a pillar of light. Heazwj Created these two before Heazwj Created the skies by two thousand years. It is written upon that flag: ‘There is no god except Allahazwj, Muhammadsaww is best of the created beings’. The owner (bearer) of the flag is Aliasws, Imamasws of the people’.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا بِكَ وَ شَرَّفَنَا فَقَالَ‏ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ‏ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا وَ انْتَحَلَ مَحَبَّتَنَا أَسْكَنَهُ اللَّهُ مَعَنَا وَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ.

He said, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Guided us through yousaww, and ennobled us’. The Prophetsaww said to him: ‘Don’t you know that the one who loves usasws and embraces ourasws love, Allahazwj would Settle him with usasws’, and hesaww recited this Verse: In a truthful seat, in the Presence of a Powerful King [54:55]’’.²³⁷

121 وَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مِخْنَفٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ نَعَمْ‏ أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَ شِيعَتُكَ وَ مِيعَادُكَ وَ مِيعَادُهُمُ الْحَوْضُ غُرّاً مُحَجَّلِينَ مُكَحَّلِينَ مُتَوَّجِينَ

And from Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Ahmad Bin Howza, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Abu Mikhnaf, from Yaqoub Bin Maysam,

‘He found in the book of his father that Aliasws said: ‘Iasws heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7]. Then hesaww turned towards Aliasws and said: ‘Yes, youasws, O Aliasws and yourasws Shias, and yourasws appointment and their appointment is at the Fountain, resplendent (of faces), kohl-applied (in their eyes), crowned’.

قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ فَحَدَّثْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع بِهَذَا فَقَالَ هَكَذَا هُوَ عِنْدَنَا فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ع‏

Yaqoub (the narrator) said, ‘I narrated to Abu Ja’farasws with this, and heasws said: ‘That is how it is with usasws in the Book of Aliasws!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ فِي كِتَابِهِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ حَدِيثاً فِي تَفْسِيرِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مِثْلُ مَا ذَكَرَهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ خَيْرَ الْبَرِيَّةِ هُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ شِيعَتُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ‏ هُمْ عَدُوُّهُ وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ‏.

Then he (the narrator) said, ‘And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Al-Abbas in his book, approximately twenty five Ahadeeth in Tafseer of this Verse, similar to what is mentioned in this Hadeeth, that the best of the created beings, heasws is Amir Al-Momineenasws and hisasws Shias, and those who committed Kufr, from the People of the Book and the Polytheists, [98:1], they are hisasws enemies and their adherents’’.²³⁸

122 وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ مَنْهَجِ التَّحْقِيقِ إِلَى سَوَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ، رَوَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْآلِ لِابْنِ خَالَوَيْهِ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى جَابِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَنِي وَ خَلَقَ عَلِيّاً وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ مِنْ نُورٍ وَاحِدٍ

And from the book ‘Manhaj Al Tahqeeq Ila Sawa’a Al Tareeq’ – It is reported from the book ‘Al Aal’ of Ibn Khalawiya, raising it to Jabir Al Ansary who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created mesaww and Created Aliasws, and (Syeda) Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws from one Noor (light).

فَعَصَرَ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ عَصْرَةً فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شِيعَتُنَا فَسَبَّحْنَا فَسَبَّحُوا وَ قَدَّسْنَا فَقَدَّسُوا وَ هَلَّلْنَا فَهَلَّلُوا وَ مَجَّدْنَا فَمَجَّدُوا وَ وَحَّدْنَا فَوَحَّدُوا

That Noor was compressed with a compression and ourasws Shias came out from it. Weasws glorified (Allahazwj) so they glorified, and weasws extolled the Holiness (of Allahazwj) so they extolled the Holiness, and weasws exclaimed the glory (of Allahazwj so they exclaimed, and weasws praised (Allahazwj) so they praised, and weasws professed Tawheed, so they professed.

ثُمَّ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ خَلَقَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَمَكَثَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِائَةَ عَامٍ لَا تَعْرِفُ تَسْبِيحاً وَ لَا تَقْدِيساً فَسَبَّحْنَا فَسَبَّحَتْ شِيعَتُنَا فَسَبَّحَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ كَذَا فِي الْبَوَاقِي

The Allahazwj Created the skies and the earth, and Created the Angels. The Angels remained for a hundred years neither knowing any glorification, nor extollation of Holiness. Weasws glorified, so ourasws Shias glorified, so the Angels glorified, and like that regarding the remainder.

فَنَحْنُ الْمُوَحِّدُونَ حَيْثُ لَا مُوَحِّدَ غَيْرُنَا وَ حَقِيقٌ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَمَا اخْتَصَّنَا وَ اخْتَصَّ شِيعَتَنَا أَنْ يُزْلِفَنَا وَ شِيعَتَنَا فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَانَا وَ اصْطَفَى شِيعَتَنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَكُونَ أَجْسَاماً فَدَعَانَا فَأَجَبْنَاهُ فَغَفَرَ لَنَا وَ لِشِيعَتِنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَسْتَغْفِرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏.

Thus weasws are the (first) Unitarians when there was no Unitarian apart from usasws, and there is a right upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic just as Heazwj has Specialised usasws and Specialised ourasws Shias that Heazwj Brings usasws and ourasws Shias closer in the high Illiyeen. Allahazwj Chose usasws and Chose ourasws Shias from before weasws happened to be bodies. Heazwj Called usasws, so weasws answered Himazwj, and Heazwj Forgave for usasws and for ourasws Shias from before weasws sought Forgiveness (for them) of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’’.²³⁹

123 وَ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ السَّيِّدِ حَسَنِ بْنِ كَبْشٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ‏ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ

And from what is reported from the book of the Sayyad Hassan Bin Kabash, by his chain to Abu Hamza,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard himasws saying to a man from the Shias: ‘You (Shias) are the good ones, and your womenfolk are good, and every Momin is a truthful’.

وَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ شِيعَتُنَا أَقْرَبُ الْخَلْقِ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَعْدَنَا وَ مَا مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا أَحَدٌ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا اكْتَنَفَتْهُ فِيهَا عَدَدَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ‏ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةً حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَ إِنَّ الصَّائِمَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَرْتَعُ فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ.

And he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard himasws saying: ‘Ourasws Shias would be the nearest of the creatures from the Throne of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Qiyamah after usasws, and there is no one from ourasws Shias standing to the Salat except and he gets surrounded by Angels of the number of his adversaries, sending Salawat upon him as a congregation until he is free from his Salat, and that the Fasting one from you would be raised in the Garden of the Paradise, the Angels supplicate for him until he breaks (the Fast)’’.²⁴⁰

124 وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْكَ بِأَمْرٍ قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِي وَ فَرِحَ بِهِ قَلْبِي قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَقْرِئْ مُحَمَّداً مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ أَعْلِمْهُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً إِمَامُ الْهُدَى وَ مِصْبَاحُ الدُّجَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَنَّهُ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ الْفَارُوقُ الْأَعْظَمُ

And from him, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Jibraeelas informed mesaww with a matter about youasws, mysaww eyes were delighted with it and mysaww heart was happy with it. Heas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww! Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Convey the greetings to Muhammadsaww from Meazwj and let himsaww know that Aliasws is the Imamasws of guidance, and lamp for the darkness, and the Divine Authority upon the inhabitants of the world, and heasws is the greatest truthful, and the magnificent distributor.

وَ أَنِّي آلَيْتُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي أَنْ لَا أُدْخِلَ النَّارَ أَحَداً تَوَالاهُ‏ وَ سَلَّمَ لَهُ وَ لِلْأَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ‏ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ‏ وَ أَطْبَاقَهَا مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ وَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ‏.

And Iazwj have Sword by Myazwj Mighty and Myazwj Majesty that Iazwj will not Enter the Fire anyone who is in hisasws Wilayah and submits to himasws and to the successorsasws from after himasws. but the reality of the Word from Me is: “I will Fill Hell [32:13], and its layers, from hisasws enemies and will Fill the Paradise from hisasws friends and hisasws Shias”’²⁴¹

125 وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الشِّفَاءِ وَ الْجِلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ طِينَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَلَا يَنْجَسُ أَبَداً

And from the book ‘Al-Shifa’a Wa Al-Jila’a’ – From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Created clay of the Momin from clay of the Prophetsas, so he will not be unclean, ever!’

وَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَمَلَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَذْهَبُ فَيَمْهَدُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا يُرْسِلُ الرَّجُلُ غُلَامَهُ فَيَفْرُشُ لَهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا وَ مَنْ‏ عَمِلَ صالِحاً فَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ‏.

And heasws said: ‘The deed of the Momin goes and makes arrangements for him in the Paradise just as the man sends his slave to prepare his furnishing for him’. Then heasws recited: and ones who do righteous deeds, so they are preparing for their own selves, [30:44]’’.²⁴²

126 وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَمَا لَا يَنْفَعُ مَعَ الشِّرْكِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَلَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ الْإِيمَانِ شَيْ‏ءٌ.

And from himasws having said: ‘Just as nothing would benefit with Shirk (association with Allahazwj), so nothing would harm with Eman’’.²⁴³

127 وَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَا وَ ابْنُ‏ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ ع ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ سِتُّ خِصَالٍ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ

And from Isa Bin Abu Mansour who said,

‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, I and Ibn Abu Yafour and Abdullah in Talha. Heasws said initiating from himasws: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! Seven characteristics, one who has these in him would be in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and on the right of Allahazwj’.

قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَ مَا هِيَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يُحِبُّ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِأَعَزِّ أَهْلِهِ وَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يَكْرَهُ لِأَعَزِّ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُنَاصِحُهُ الْوَلَايَةَ

Ibn Abu Yafour said, ‘And what are these? May I be sacrificed for youasws!’ Heasws said: ‘The Muslims person would love for his brother what he loves for the dearest one of his family, and the Muslim person would love for his brother what he dislikes for the dearest of his family to him, and he would advise him of the Wilayah’.

فَبَكَى ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَ قَالَ كَيْفَ يُنَاصِحُهُ الْوَلَايَةَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِذَا كَانَ مِنْهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ فَهَمُّهُ هَمُّهُ وَ فَرَّحَهُ فَرَحُهُ‏ إِنْ هُوَ فَرِحَ حَزَنَهُ لِحُزْنِهِ إِنْ هُوَ حَزَنَ فَإِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُفَرِّجُ عَنْهُ فَرَّجَ عَنْهُ وَ إِلَّا دَعَا لَهُ

Ibn Abu Yafour wept and said, ‘How can he advise him of the Wilayah?’ Heasws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! When he was from him with that status, his sadness would sadden him, and his happiness would make him happy. If he is happy to his happiness and grieves if he is in grief, and there was with him what would make him happy, he should relieve him from it to make him happy from it, or else he should supplicate for him’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع ثَلَاثٌ لَكُمْ وَ ثَلَاثٌ لَنَا أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا فَضْلَنَا وَ أَنْ تَطَئُوا أَعْقَابَنَا وَ تَنْتَظِرُوا عَاقِبَتَنَا فَمَنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Three are for you and three are for us, that you will recognise ourasws merits, and you will obey ourasws posterity, and you will await ourasws end-result. So, the one who was like that, would be in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and on the right of Allahazwj.

فَأَمَّا الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيَسْتَضِي‏ءُ بِنُورِهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ فَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ يَرَاهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ لَمْ يَهْنَئْهُ الْعَيْشُ مِمَّا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ

As for the one who is in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, they would illuminate with their radiance one who is lower than them; and as for the one on the right of Allahazwj, if they were to show themselves to the ones below them, their lives would not be welcoming for them from what they would see of their merits’.

فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ مَا لَهُمْ لَا يَرَوْنَهُمْ وَ هُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ

Ibn Abu Yafour said, ‘What is the matter they are not appearing to them, and they are on the right of the Throne?’

قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِنَّهُمْ مَحْجُوبُونَ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ حَدِيثُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ خَلْقاً عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَ أَضْوَأُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الضَّاحِيَةِ فَيَسْأَلُ السَّائِلُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ فَيُقَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ تَحَابُّوا فِي اللَّهِ‏.

Heasws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! They are veiled by the Noor of Allahazwj. Has the Hadeeth of Rasool-Allahsaww not reached you? Hesaww was saying: ‘For Allahazwj there are creatures on the right of Allahazwj, and in front of Allahazwj. Their faces whiter than the snow, and more illuminating than the sun of the brightness’. So, the questioner asked, ‘Who are they?’ Hesaww said: ‘They are those who loved each other for the sake of Allahazwj’’.²⁴⁴

‘From Muattab a slave of Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws fatherasws having said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophetsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Is there a price (to pay) for the Paradise?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes’.

قَالَ مَا ثَمَنُهَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَقُولُهَا الْعَبْدُ مُخْلِصاً بِهَا

He said, ‘What is its price?’ Hesaww said: ‘(Professing), there is no god except Allahazwj. The servant would say it being sincere with it’.

قَالَ وَ مَا إِخْلَاصُهَا قَالَ الْعَمَلُ بِمَا بُعِثْتُ بِهِ فِي حَقِّهِ وَ حُبُّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَالَ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ إِنَّ حُبَّ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لَمِنْ حَقِّهَا قَالَ إِنَّ حُبَّهُمْ لَأَعْظَمُ حَقِّهَا.

He said, ‘And what is its sincerity?’ Hesaww said: ‘The acting with what Isaww have been Sent with in its right, and loving Peopleasws of mysaww Household’. He said, ‘By my father and my mother! And love of Peopleasws of the Household is from its right?’ Hesaww said: ‘Theirasws love is the greatest of its rights’’.²⁴⁶

‘I was with Al-Rezaasws when heasws entered Neshapour and heasws was riding a mules (called) ‘Al-Shahba’ and the scholars of Neshapour had come out for welcoming himasws.

فَلَمَّا سَارَ إِلَى الْمُرَبَّعَةِ تَعَلَّقُوا بِلِجَامِ بَغْلَتِهِ وَ قَالُوا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَدِّثْنَا بِحَقِّ آبَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ حَدِيثاً عَنْ آبَائِكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

When heasws came to the square, they grabbed hold of the rein of hisasws mule and said, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! Narrate to us by the right of yourasws clean forefathersasws, a Hadeeth from yourasws forefathersasws in theirasws entirety’.

فَأَخْرَجَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْهَوْدَجِ وَ عَلَيْهِ مِطْرَفُ خَزٍّ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدِ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ

Heasws, upon himasws be the Salawat and the greetings, brought out hisasws head from the carriage, and upon himasws was a fur shawl, and heasws said: ‘It is narrated to measws by myasws father Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws father Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, from hisasws father Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, from hisasws fatherasws Al-Husaynasws, chief of the youths of the people of Paradise, from Amir Al-Momineenasws, from Rasool-Allahsaww having said:

‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘The feet of a servant will not move on the Day of Qiyamah until he is questioned about four – about his body what he had indulged in, and about his life what he had finished it, and about his wealth where had earned it and what he had spent it in, and about ourasws love of Peopleasws of the Household’’.²⁴⁸

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – Al Husayn Bin Ubeydullah, from Al Tal’akbary, from Ibn Uqda, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Khamry, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr who said,

‘I and my father passed by a man from the sons of Abu Lahabla called Ubeydullah Bin Ibrahim. He called out to me, ‘O Abu Al-Fazl! This man will narrate to you’, and he mentioned the name of the narrator, and he is Sudeyf at the end of the Hadeeth, and he did not mention it over here, from Abu Ja’farasws.

فَقَرُبْنَا مِنْهُمْ وَ سَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ حَدِّثْهُ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرُ ع وَ مَا رَأَيْتُ مُحَمَّدِيّاً قَطُّ يَعْدِلُهُ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْمِنْبَرَ وَ اجْتَمَعَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَ الْأَنْصَارُ فِي السِّلَاحِ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ يَهُودِيّاً

We went near them and greeted unto them. He said to him, ‘Narrate to him’. He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammadasws Bin Ali Al-Baqirasws, and I have not seen any Muhammadan at all equating with himasws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari having said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww came until hesaww ascended the pulpit, and gathered the Emigrant and the Helpers with weapons. Hesaww said: ‘O you people! One who hates usasws Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would Resurrect him as a Jew’.

قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ إِنَّمَا احْتَجَزَ بِذَلِكَ مِنْ أَنْ يُسْفَكَ دَمُهُ أَوْ يُؤَدِّيَ الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَ هُوَ صَاغِرٌ

Jabir said, ‘I stood up to himsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And even if he had testified that there is no god except Allahazwj and yousaww are Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, and even if he had testified so. But rather, he has withheld with that (testimony) his blood from being spilt or payment of the tax from a hand while being belittled’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ يَهُودِيّاً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ إِنْ أَدْرَكَ الدَّجَّالَ آمَنَ بِهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ بُعِثَ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِهِ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ‏

The hesaww said: ‘O you people! One who hates usasws Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would Resurrect him as a Jew on the Day of Qiyamah, and if he were to come across Al-Dajjalla, he would believe in himla, and if he does not come across himla, he would be Resurrected from his grave until he does believe in himla.

Mysaww Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic Resembled mysaww community for measws in the clay and Taught mesaww names of mysaww community, just as Heazwj had Taught Adamas the names, all of them. The bearers of the flag passed by meas and sought Forgiveness for Aliasws and hisasws Shias’.

قَالَ حَنَانٌ وَ قَالَ لِي أَبِي اكْتُبْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فَكَتَبْتُهُ وَ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ غَدٍ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَدِمْنَا فَدَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمَكِّيِّينَ يُقَالُ لَهُ سُدَيْفٌ حَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِيكَ بِحَدِيثٍ فَقَالَ وَ تَحْفَظُهُ فَقُلْتُ قَدْ كَتَبْتُهُ قَالَ فَهَاتِهِ

Hanan (the narrator) said, ‘And my father said to me, ‘Write down this Hadeeth’. So, I wrote it, and we went in the morning to Al-Medina. We arrived and entered to see Abu Abdullahasws. I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! A man from the Makkans called Sudeyf narrated a Hadeeth to me from yourasws fatherasws’, Heasws said: ‘And you preserved it?’ I said, ‘I have written it’. Heasws said: ‘Give it’.

فَعَرَضْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى مَثَّلَ لِي‏ أُمَّتِي فِي الطِّينِ وَ عَلَّمَنِي أَسْمَاءَ أُمَّتِي كَمَا عَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْماءَ كُلَّها قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَا سَدِيرُ مَتَى حَدَّثَكَ بِهَذَا عَنْ أَبِي قُلْتُ الْيَوْمَ السَّابِعَ مُنْذُ سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنْهُ يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيكَ فَقَالَ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى أَنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ لَا يَخْرُجُ عَنْ أَبِي إِلَى أَحَدٍ.

I presented it to himasws. When I ended up to (the words): ‘Mysaww community was resembled for mesaww in the clay, and Heazwj Taught mesaww the names of mysaww community just as Heazwj had Taught Adamas the names, all of them, Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘O Sadeyr! When was it narrated to you with this Hadeeth from myasws fatherasws?’ I said, ‘Today it is seven days since I heard it from him, reporting from yourasws fatherasws’. Heasws said: ‘I used to view that this Hadeeth did not come out from myasws fatherasws to anyone’’.²⁴⁹

And by his chain form Al Sabbah Bin Sayaba,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The man who loves you (Shias) and does not know what you are saying, Allahazwj would Enter him into the Paradise, and the man who hates you and does not know what you are saying, Allahazwj would Enter him into the Fire, and the man’s book would be filled upon from without him having done any deed’.

I said, ‘How can it be so?’ Heasws said: ‘He passed by the group attaining from usasws, and when they saw him, they said to each other, ‘This man is from their Shias’. And the man from ourasws Shias passed by them, so they accuse him and speak regarding him, so Allahazwj Writes good deeds for him due to that until it fills up his book, from without him having done any deed’’.²⁵³

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported by Sheykh al Taifa, by his chain, from Zayd bin Yunus Al Shaham who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan Musaasws, ‘The man from yourasws friends disobeys, he drinks the wine and indulges in the destructive sins, should we disavow from him?’ Heasws said: ‘Disavow from his deeds and do not disavow from his goodness, and hate his deeds’.

فَقُلْتُ يَسَعُ لَنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ فَاسِقٌ فَاجِرٌ فَقَالَ لَا الْفَاسِقُ الْفَاجِرُ الْكَافِرُ الْجَاحِدُ لَنَا وَ لِأَوْلِيَائِنَا أَبَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاسِقاً فَاجِراً وَ إِنْ عَمِلَ مَا عَمِلَ وَ لَكِنَّكُمْ قُولُوا فَاسِقُ الْعَمَلِ فَاجِرُ الْعَمَلِ مُؤْمِنُ النَّفْسِ خَبِيثُ الْفِعْلِ طَيِّبُ الرُّوحِ وَ الْبَدَنِ

I said, ‘Is there leeway for us that we should be saying, ‘Mischief-maker, immoral’?’ Heasws said: ‘No. The mischief-maker, the immoral, is the Kafir, the rejecter of usasws and ourasws friends. Allahazwj has Refused the ourasws friends be a mischief-maker, an immoral, and even if he does what he does, but you should be saying, ‘Mischievous of the deeds, immoral of the deeds, a Momin self wicked of the deeds, good of the soul and the body.

لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْرُجُ وَلِيُّنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ نَحْنُ عَنْهُ رَاضُونَ يَحْشُرُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبَ مُبْيَضّاً وَجْهُهُ مَسْتُورَةً عَوْرَتُهُ آمِنَةً رَوْعَتُهُ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا حُزْنٌ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يُصَفَّى مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ إِمَّا بِمُصِيبَةٍ فِي مَالٍ أَوْ نَفْسٍ أَوْ وَلَدٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ

No, by Allahazwj! Ourasws friend does not exit from the world except and Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and weasws are pleased from him. Allahazwj would Resurrect him despite what he is in from the sins, whitened of face, veiled of his nakedness, and safe of his fear, neither would there be fear upon him nor grief, and that is because he will not exit from the world until he is cleaned from the sins. Either by difficulties regarding wealth, or self, or children, or illness.

وَ أَدْنَى مَا يُصْنَعُ بِوَلِيِّنَا أَنْ يُرِيَهُ اللَّهُ رُؤْيَا مَهُولَةً فَيُصْبِحَ حَزِيناً لِمَا رَآهُ فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ أَوْ خَوْفاً يَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ دَوْلَةِ الْبَاطِلِ‏ أَوْ يُشَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ فَيَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاهِراً مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ آمِنَةً رَوْعَتُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا

And the least of what is done with ourasws friend is the Allahazwj Shows him a horrific dream and he wakes up in the morning gloomy for what he had seen, and that would become an expiation for him, or some fear would be passing upon him from the people of the government of the falsehood, or there would be difficulty upon him at death, so he would meet Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, clean from the sins, secure from his fear due to Muhammadsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws.

ثُمَّ يَكُونُ أَمَامَهُ أَحَدُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِعَةُ الَّتِي هِيَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً أَوْ شَفَاعَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فَعِنْدَهَا تُصِيبُهُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِعَةُ الَّتِي كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهَا وَ أَهْلَهَا وَ لَهُ إِحْسَانُهَا وَ فَضْلُهَا.

Then there would happen to be in front of him, one of the two matters – The extensive Mercy of Allahazwj which is more extensive than the people of the earth in their entirety, or intercession of Muhammadsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws. At that, he would achieve the extensive Mercy of Allahazwj which he would be deserving with it, and its rightful one, and for him would be its Favour and its Grace’’.²⁵⁶

قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا بَا حَمْزَةَ أَ وَ مَا تَرَى الشَّهِيدَ إِلَّا مَنْ قُتِلَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا بَا حَمْزَةَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِنَا وَ صَدَّقَ حَدِيثَنَا وَ انْتَظَرَنَا كَانَ كَمَنْ قُتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ الْقَائِمِ بَلْ وَ اللَّهِ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws said to me: ‘O Abu Hamza! Do you see the martyr as only the one who is killed?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for youasws!’ Heasws said to me: ‘O Abu Hamza! One who believe in usasws and ratifies ourasws Hadeeth, and awaits usasws (Al-Qaimasws), would be like the one who is killed beneath the flag of Al-Qaimasws. But, by Allahazwj, beneath the flag of Rasool-Allahsaww!’’²⁵⁸

142 وَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ لِيَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ الْمَيِّتَ عَلَى‏هَذَا الْأَمْرِ شَهِيدٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ قَالَ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَإِنَّهُ حَيٌّ يُرْزَقُ‏.

And from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Al-Sadiqasws said to me: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The one dying upon this matter (Wilayah) is a martyr’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! And even if he dies upon his bed?’ Heasws said: ‘And even if dies upon his bed, for he would be alive, being sustained’’.²⁵⁹

‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Maazy (7th Imamasws), regarding Words of Mighty and Majestic: Except the ones praying Salat [70:22] Those who are constant upon their Salat [70:23]. ‘By Allahazwj! They are the companions (performers) of the fifty (Salat) from ourasws Shias’.

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported by Al Sadouq, from Abdullah Muhammad Bin Al Wahhab, from Ahmad bin Muhammad Sha’rany, from Abdul Baqy, from Umar Bin Sinan, from Hajib Bin Suleyman, from Wakie Bin Al Jarrah, from Al Amsh, from Ibn Zabyan,

From Abu Zarrra having said: ‘Ira saw Salmanra and Bilalra coming towards the Prophetsaww, when Salmanra dedicated to the feet of Rasool-Allahsaww, kissing them.

فَزَجَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا سَلْمَانُ لَا تَصْنَعْ بِي مَا تَصْنَعُ الْأَعَاجِمُ بِمُلُوكِهَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ اللَّهِ آكُلُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ الْعَبْدُ وَ أَقْعُدُ كَمَا يَقْعُدُ الْعَبْدُ

The Prophetsaww rebuked himra from that, then said to himra: ‘O Salmanra! Do not do with mesaww what the Persians are doing with their kings. Isaww am a slave from the slaves of Allahazwj. Isaww eat from what the slaves eat, and sit just as the slaves tend to sit’.

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ يَا مَوْلَايَ سَأَلْتُكَ بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتَنِي بِفَضْلِ‏ فَاطِمَةَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Salmanra said, ‘O myra Mastersaww! Ira ask yousaww by Allahazwj, only inform mera with the merit of (Syeda) Fatimaasws on the Day of Qiyamah’.

قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص ضَاحِكاً مُسْتَبْشِراً ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا الْجَارِيَةُ الَّتِي تَجُوزُ فِي عَرْصَةِ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ رَأْسُهَا مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ عَيْنَاهَا مِنْ نُورِ اللَّهِ وَ حُطَامُهَا مِنْ جَلَالِ اللَّهِ وَ عُنُقُهَا مِنْ بَهَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ سَنَامُهَا مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَ ذَنَبُهَا مِنْ قُدْسِ اللَّهِ وَ قَوَائِمُهَا مِنْ مَجْدِ اللَّهِ

He (Abu Zarrra) said, ‘The Prophetsaww turned laughing, smiling, then said: ‘By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul! Sheasws is the (only) girl who would be allowed in the plains of Qiyamay to be upon a camel. Its head is from humbleness to Allahazwj, and its eyes are from Noor of Allahazwj, and its rein is from Majesty of Allahazwj, and its neck is from Glory of Allahazwj, and its hump is from Pleasure of Allahazwj, and its tail is from Holiness of Allahazwj, and its legs are from Praise of Allahazwj.

إِنْ مَشَتْ‏ سَبَّحَتْ وَ إِنْ رَغَتْ قَدَّسَتْ عَلَيْهَا هَوْدَجٌ مِنْ نُورٍ فِيهِ جَارِيَةٌ إِنْسِيَّةٌ حُورِيَّةٌ عَزِيزَةٌ جُمِعَتْ فَخُلِقَتْ وَ صُنِعَتْ وَ مُثِّلَتْ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَصْنَافٍ فَأَوَّلُهَا مِنْ مِسْكٍ أَذْفَرَ وَ أَوْسَطُهَا مِنَ الْعَنْبَرِ الْأَشْهَبِ وَ آخِرُهَا مِنَ الزَّعْفَرَانِ الْأَحْمَرِ عُجِنَتْ بِمَاءِ الْحَيَوَانِ

When it neighs is glorifies (Allahazwj), and if it rumbles it extols the Holiness (of Allahazwj). Upon it is a carriage of Noor wherein is a human Hourie maid, dear. She has been Gathered, and Created, and Made, and Resembled from three types. Her top part is from yellow musk, and her middle part is from Al-Ah’hab amber, and her lower part is from red saffron. She was kneaded with water from the (river) Al-Haywaan.

لَوْ تَفَلَتْ تَفْلَةً فِي سَبْعَةِ أَبْحُرٍ مَالِحَةٍ لَعَذُبَتْ وَ لَوْ أَخْرَجَتْ ظُفُرَ خِنْصِرِهَا إِلَى دَارِ الدُّنْيَا يَغْشَى الشَّمْسَ‏ وَ الْقَمَرَ

If she were to spit with a spittle into the seven salty oceans, these would freshen, and if a nail of her little finger were to emerge to the house of the world, it would overwhelm the sun and the moon.

جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ يَمِينِهَا وَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ شِمَالِهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ أَمَامَهَا وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَرَاءَهَا وَ اللَّهُ يَكْلَؤُهَا وَ يَحْفَظُهَا فَيَجُوزُونَ فِي عَرْصَةِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَإِذاً النِّدَاءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ مَعَاشِرَ الْخَلَائِقِ غُضُّوا أَبْصَارَكُمْ وَ نَكِّسُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ هَذِهِ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكُمْ زَوْجَةُ عَلِيٍّ إِمَامِكُمْ أُمِّ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ‏

Jibraeelas would be on herasws right and Mikaeelas on herasws left, and Aliasws in front of herasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws behind herasws, and Allahazwj would be Looking after herasws and Protecting herasws. They would be crossing the plains of Qiyamah, and there a caller would call out from the direction of Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty: “Community of creatures! Shut your eyes and lower your heads! This is Fatimaasws daughterasws of Muhammadsaww your Prophetsaww, wife of Aliasws your Imamasws, motherasws of Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws!”

فَتَجُوزُ الصِّرَاطَ وَ عَلَيْهَا رَيْطَتَانِ بَيْضَاوَانِ‏ فَإِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ نَظَرَتْ إِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهَا مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ قَرَأَتْ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ الَّذِي أَحَلَّنا دارَ الْمُقامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لا يَمَسُّنا فِيها نَصَبٌ وَ لا يَمَسُّنا فِيها لُغُوبٌ‏

Sheasws would cross the bridge, and upon herasws would be two fabrics. When sheasws enters the Paradise and looks at what Allahazwj has Prepared for herasws, from the honours, sheasws would recite: In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Removed the grief from us. Surely our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative [35:34] Who Transferred us to the house of eternal settlement, from His Grace. Neither shall toil touch us therein nor shall fatigue touch us therein [35:35].

قَالَ فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ سَلِينِي أُعْطِكِ وَ تَمَنَّيْ عَلَيَّ أُرْضِكِ فَتَقُولُ إِلَهِي أَنْتَ الْمُنَى وَ فَوْقَ الْمُنَى أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَ مُحِبِّي وَ مُحِبِّي عِتْرَتِي‏ بِالنَّارِ

Hesaww said: ‘Allahazwj would Reveal unto herasws: “O Fatimaasws! Ask Meazwj, Iazwj shall Give it to youasws and Fulfil yourasws wishes”. So sheasws would be saying: ‘Myazwj God! Youazwj are the Bestower, and Higher than that. Iasws ask Youazwj that Youazwj should not Punish those that love measws and myasws Familyasws, with the Fire’.

فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَكَانِي لَقَدْ آلَيْتُ عَلَى‏ نَفْسِي مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ أَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ أَنْ لَا أُعَذِّبَ مُحِبِّيكِ وَ مُحِبِّي عِتْرَتِكِ بِالنَّارِ.

Then Allahazwj the Exalted would Reveal unto herasws: “O Fatimaasws! By Myazwj Honour, and Myazwj Majesty, and Myazwj Elevated Status! Iazwj Took it upon Myselfazwj, before Iazwj Created the skies and the earth, by two thousand years, that Iazwj will not Punish those who love youasws, and yourasws Familyasws, with the Fire”.²⁶¹

145 أَقُولُ رَوَى ابْنُ بِطْرِيقٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْعُمْدَةِ مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ الثَّعْلَبِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَسَدَ النَّاسِ لِي فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَزْوَاجُنَا عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا وَ شَمَائِلِنَا وَ ذُرِّيَّتُنَا خَلْفَ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَ شِيعَتُنَا خَلْفَ ذُرِّيَّتِنَا.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Bitreeq in (the book) ‘Al Umdah’ (Hanbali source), from Tafseer Al Sa’alby, by his chain from Umar Bin Musa,

‘From Zayd son of Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, from his fatherasws, from his grandfatherasws, from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws having said: ‘Iasws complained to Rasool-Allahsaww of the envy of the people. Hesaww said: ‘Are youasws not pleased that youasws happen to be the fourth of the four? The first one to enter the Paradise would be mesaww, and youasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws, and ourasws wives would be on ourasws right and on ourasws left, and ourasws offspring would be behind ourasws wives, and ourasws Shias would be behind ourasws offspring?’’²⁶²

146 وَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ أَنَا حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبْتُمْ وَ سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمْتُمْ‏.

And from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww looked at Aliasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and said: ‘Isaww am at war with the one who is at war with themasws, and at peace with the one who is at peace with themasws’’.²⁶³

147 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَيْضاً عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا بَالُ قُرَيْشٍ يَلْقَى بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً بِوَجْهٍ يَكَادُ أَنْ يُسالَ‏ مِنَ الْوُدِّ وَ يَلْقَوْنَا بِوَجْهٍ‏ قَاطِبَةٍ

And by his (Abu Hureyra’s) chain as well,

‘From Al-Abbas son of Abdul Muttalibasws having said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! What is the matter with Quraysh meeting each other with faces almost begging for friendliness, and they are meeting us with frowning faces?’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ وَ يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحِبُّوهُمْ لِي‏.

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘And they are doing that?’ He said, ‘Yes, by the Oneazwj Who Sent yousaww with the truth’. Hesaww said: ‘But, by the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth, they will not believe until they love them (Peopleasws of the Household) for mesaww’’.²⁶⁴

148 وَ مِنْ مَنَاقِبِ ابْنِ الْمَغَازِلِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ نُصِبَ الصِّرَاطُ عَلَى شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ لَمْ يَجُزْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا مَنْ مَعَهُ كِتَابُ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏.

And from (the book) ‘Manaqib’ of Ibn Al Magazily – By his chain from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah and the bridge is set up upon the edge of Hell, none would (be able to) cross it except one who has the book of Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws with him’’.²⁶⁵

149 وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ عُنْوَانُ صَحِيفَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ حُبُّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏.

And by another chain from Al Zuhry who said,

‘I heard Anas Bin Malik (well-known Ahadith fabricator) saying, ‘By Allahazwj Who, there is no god except Heazwj! I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘The heading of the book of the Momin would be ‘love of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’’.²⁶⁶

150 وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً لَا حِسَابَ‏ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ هُمْ مِنْ شِيعَتِكَ وَ أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ‏.

And by another chain from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Seventy thousand from mysaww community would be entering the Paradise without any Reckoning (Taken) upon them’. Then hesaww turned towards Aliasws and said: ‘They are from yourasws Shias, and youasws are their Imamasws’’.²⁶⁷

151 وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْمُظَفَّرِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يُونُسَ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ شِيعَتَنَا يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ كَالْقَمَرِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْبَدْرِ

And it is reported from Ahmad Bin Al Muzaffer Al Attar, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Al Muzny, from Abdullah Bin Zayd, from Ali Bin Yunus Al Attar, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Kindy, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, from Rasool-Allahsaww having said: ‘O Aliasws! Ourasws Shias would be coming out from their graves on the Day of Qiyamah upon what would be with them from the faults, and the sins, and their faces would be (shining) like the moon during the night of the full moon.

وَ قَدْ فُرِضَتْ‏ عَنْهُمُ الشَّدَائِدُ وَ سَهُلَتْ لَهُمُ الْمَوَارِدُ وَ أُعْطُوا الْأَمْنَ وَ الْأَمَانَ وَ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَحْزَانُ يَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَخَافُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَحْزَنُونَ

The difficulties would have been cut off from them, and the resources would be eased for them, and they would be given the safety and the security, and the grief would be raised from them. The people would fear but they will not be fearing and the people would grieve and they will not be grieving.

شِرَاكُ نِعَالِهِمْ تَتَلَأْلَأُ نُوراً عَلَى نُوقٍ بِيضٍ لَهَا أَجْنِحَةٌ قَدْ ذُلِّلَتْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَهَانَةٍ وَ نَجَتْ مِنْ غَيْرِ رِيَاضَةٍ أَعْنَاقُهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَحْمَرَ أَلْيَنَ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ لِكَرَامَتِهِمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏.

The straps of their slippers would be sparkling light upon white camels having wings for it, having been subdued without humiliation, and having attained salvation without effort. Their necks would be of red gold, softer than the silk, for their honour upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’’.²⁶⁸

152 وَ بِسَنَدَيْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ عَلِيٌّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ جَاءَ بِجَوَازٍ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏.

And by two chain from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘On the Day of Qiyamah, Aliasws would be at the Fountain. None would (be able to) enter the Paradise except the one coming with a permit from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’’.²⁶⁹

153 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى سُنَنِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ: أَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ لِمَا يَغْذُوكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ نِعَمِهِ وَ لِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَ أَحِبُّونِي لِحُبِّ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ أَحِبُّوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي لِحُبِّي‏.

And by his chain to Sunan of Abu Dawood, from Ibn Abbas,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Love Allahazwj for what Heazwj has Provided you all with, from Hisazwj bounties, and for what Heazwj is rightful or, and love mesaww for the love of Allahazwj the Exalted, and love Peopleasws of mysaww Household for mysaww love’’.²⁷⁰

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported in (the book) ‘Al Mustadrak’, from the book ‘Fazail Al Sahaba’ of Al Sam’any, by his chain to Ammar Bin Yasser who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws: ‘O Aliasws! Beatitude is for one who loves youasws, and ratifies yourasws mouth, and woe be to the one who hates youasws and belies yourasws mouth’’.²⁷¹

And by his chain from Umm Salamara having said, ‘Ira heard the Prophetsaww saying: ‘Aliasws and hisasws Shias, they would be the successful ones on the Day of Qiyamah’’.²⁷²

Notes –

رَوَى أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ فِي كِتَابِهِ غَرِيبِ الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَلْيُعِدَّ لِلْفَقْرِ جِلْبَاباً أَوْ تَجْفَافاً.

It is reported by Abu Ubeyd Al Qasim Bin Sallam in his book ‘Garaaib Al Hadees’.

‘From Amir Al-Momineenasws having said: ‘One who loves usasws, Peopleasws of the Household, then let him be prepared for the poverty as an apparel or dryness’’.

مَا رُوِيَ عَنْهُ ع‏ مِنْ أَنَّهُ رَأَى قَوْماً عَلَى بَابِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَنْبَرُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَنْبَرُ هَؤُلَاءِ شِيعَتُكَ

What is reported from him (Aliasws), heasws saw a group at hisasws door so heasws asked: ‘O Qanbar! Who are they?’ Qanbar said to himasws, ‘They are yourasws Shias’.

فَقَالَ مَا لِي لَا أَرَى فِيهِمْ سِيمَاءَ الشِّيعَةِ قَالَ وَ مَا سِيمَاءُ الشِّيعَةِ قَالَ خُمْصُ الْبُطُونِ مِنَ الطَّوَى يُبْسُ الشِّفَاهِ مِنَ الظَّمَاءِ عُمْشُ الْعُيُونِ‏ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ.

Heasws said: ‘What is the matter Iasws cannot see in them any markings of the Shia?’ He said, ‘And what are the marks of the Shias?’ Heasws said: ‘Absence of the belly (slim) from the hunger, dryness of the lips from the thirst, and weakness of the eyes from the crying’’.

باب 5 أن حبهم عليهم السلام علامة طيب الولادة و بغضهم علامة خبث الولادة

CHAPTER 5 – (HAVING) THEIRasws LOVE IS A SIGN OF GOOD BIRTH, AND (HAVING) THEIRasws HATRED IS A SIGN OF WICKED BIRTH

1- ج، الإحتجاج رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع يَا عَلِيُّ لَا يُحِبُّكَ إِلَّا مَنْ طَابَتْ وِلَادَتُهُ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ إِلَّا مَنْ خَبُثَتْ وِلَادَتُهُ وَ لَا يُوَالِيكَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُعَادِيكَ إِلَّا كَافِرٌ.

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – It is reported from the Prophetsaww having said to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws: ‘None will love youasws except one of good birth, nor hate youasws except one of wicked birth, none will befriend youasws except a Momin, nor be inimical to youasws except a Kafir’’.

And I (Majlisi) shall be bringing in the chapters attributed to Aliasws and the chapter on a summary of hisasws merits, in a lot of Ahadeeth, from Ibn Abbas and others that the Prophetsaww said: ‘None will love youasws except one of clean birth, nor hate youasws except one of wicked birth’, and similar to it are with a lot of chains’’.²⁷³

He went closer to the Prophetsaww, and the Prophetas had cushioned hissaww back towards the Kabah. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Supplicate for me with the Forgiveness’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Your pursuit has disappointed you, O old man, and your deeds have strayed you’.

When the old man turned around, hesaww said to measws: ‘O Abu Al-Hassanasws! Do youasws recognise him?’ Iasws said: ‘No’. Hesaww said: ‘That is the accursed Ibleesla’.

فَعَدَوْتُ خَلْفَهُ حَتَّى لَحِقْتُهُ وَ صَرَعْتُهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ جَلَسْتُ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ وَضَعْتُ يَدِي فِي حَلْقِهِ لِأَخْنُقَهُ فَقَالَ لِي لَا تَفْعَلْ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ فَإِنِّي‏ مِنَ الْمُنْظَرِينَ إِلى‏ يَوْمِ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ‏ وَ اللَّهِ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ جِدّاً وَ مَا أَبْغَضَكَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا شَرِكْتُ أَبَاهُ فِي أُمِّهِ فَصَارَ وَلَدَ زِناً فَضَحِكْتُ وَ خَلَّيْتُ سَبِيلَهُ‏.

Iasws went behind himla until Iasws caught up with himla and wrestled himla to the ground and sat upon hisla chest, and pressed myasws hand in hisla throat. Hela said to measws, ‘Do not do it, O Abu Al-Hassanasws, for Ila am from the Respited ones [15:37] Up to the Day of the known time” [15:38]. By Allahazwj, O Aliasws! Ila love youasws immensely and no one will hate youasws except Ila have participated with his father in his mother, so he became a child of adultery’. So Iasws laughed and freed hisla way’’.²⁸⁵

(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ – Al Sayyari, from a group of our companions, raising it, said,

‘The most superior of the merits of ourasws Shias is that the prostitutes are not giving birth to them, neither in the pre-Islamic period nor Al-Islam, and they are the people of the (honourable) households, and the nobility, and the preciousness, and the correct affiliations’’.²⁸⁷

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari having said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws: ‘Shall Isaww give youasws glad tidings? Shall Isaww confer upon youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

Hesaww said: ‘Isaww and youasws were Created from one clay, and there remained a remnant from it, and ourasws Shias were Created from it. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the people will be Called with their mother (surname), except yourasws Shias, for they would be called with the names of their fathers, due to their good birth’’.²⁸⁹

‘We were at Mina with Rasool-Allahsaww when we saw a man performing Sajdahs and Rukus, and beseeching (in Salat). We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! How good his Salat is.’ Hesaww said: ‘He is the one who got your father (Adamas) expelled from the Paradise’.

فَمَضَى إِلَيْهِ عَلِيٌّ ع غَيْرَ مُكْتَرِثٍ‏ فَهَزَّهُ هَزَّةً أَدْخَلَ أَضْلَاعَهُ الْيُمْنَى فِي الْيُسْرَى وَ الْيُسْرَى فِي الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ قَالَ لَأَقْتُلَنَّكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

Aliasws went over to him without paying any attention to it, so heasws shook him with such a shaking that his right ribs entered into his left, and the left into his right. Then heasws said: ‘Iasws would kill youasws, if Allahazwj had Desired it’.

فَقَالَ لَنْ تَقْدِرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي مَا لَكَ تُرِيدُ قَتْلِي فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَبْغَضَكَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا سَبَقَتْ نُطْفَتِي إِلَى رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ قَبْلَ نُطْفَةِ أَبِيهِ وَ لَقَدْ شَارَكْتُ مُبْغِضِيكَ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَ الْأَوْلَادِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ‏ وَ شارِكْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْوالِ وَ الْأَوْلادِ

Hela said, ‘Youasws will never be able to do that until the known term from my Lordazwj. What is the matter with youasws that youasws intend to kill me? By Allahazwj, no one hates youasws except that I have preceded my seed into the womb of his mother before the seed of his father and I have participated with the one who hates youasws in the wealth, and the children of his. And these are the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic in the Decisive of Hisazwj Book: and participate in their wealth and their children [17:64]’.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص صَدَقَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا سِفَاحِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا يَهُودِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَعِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ إِلَّا شَقِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا سَلَقْلَقِيَّةٌ وَ هِيَ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ مِنْ دُبُرِهَا

The Prophetsaww said: ‘It is true, O Aliasws! None shall hate youasws from the Quraysh except for the one born of adultery, nor from the Helpers except for a Jew, nor from the Arabs except for one referred to someone other than his biological father, nor from the rest of the people except for a wretch, nor from the women except for a ‘Salaqiya’ – and she is one who menstruates from her behind.

ثُمَّ أَطْرَقَ مَلِيّاً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْصَارِ اعْرِضُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ عَلَى مَحَبَّةِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَكُنَّا نَعْرِضُ حُبَّ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَى أَوْلَادِنَا فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَوْلَادِنَا وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ عَلِيّاً انْتَفَيْنَا مِنْهُ‏.

Then Rasool-Allahsaww remained silent for a while, then raised hissaww head, so hesaww said: ‘O group of the Helpers! Present the love for Aliasws to your children. The one who loves Aliasws, then know that he is from your children, and the one who hates Aliasws, be away from him’’.²⁹²

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Whenever there is coolness of ourasws love upon the heart of one of you, then let him praise Allahazwj upon the first Favour’. I said, ‘Upon the nature of Al-Islam?’

Heasws said: ‘No, but upon the good birth, because no one will love usasws except if his birth is good, and no one will hate usasws except the ‘Mulzaq’, the one his mother had been come to form another man, so she necessitated him to her husband. So, he got notified upon their nakedness, and inherited their wealth. That one will not love usasws at all, not will anyone love usasws except one who was clear from whichever descent he was’’.²⁹⁴

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘One from you who finds coolness of ourasws love upon his heart, then let him praise Allahazwj upon the first Favour’. I said, ‘And what is the first Favour?’ Heasws said: ‘The good birth’’.²⁹⁵

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Al Qasim Usman Bin Abdullah, a slave of Shureyh Al Kindy the judge who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws, and in hisasws presence were Nasr the judge, and a man from the clan of Ka’ab from Ahmas. Heasws narrated (several) Ahadeeth. When they went out, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! I have not left behind at Al-Kufa, neither any two Arabs nor two non-Arabs who are more hostile (to youasws) than these two’.

فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ صَحِيحٌ نَسَبُهُمَا وَ مَنْ صَحَّ نَسَبُهُ لَمْ يَدَّعِ عَلَى مِثْلِي مَا يُرِيدُ عَيْبَهُ‏

Heasws said: ‘These two are of correct lineages, and one who is of correct lineage would not call upon the like of measws intending to fault him’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَلَقِيتُهُمَا فَقُلْتُ لِلنَّصْرِ أَوَّلًا سَمِعْتُ مَا كُنَّا فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ مَعَ جَعْفَرٍ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنَّا إِلَّا فِي ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ مَوَاعِظَ حَسَنَةٍ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I went out to Al-Kufa to meet them. I said to Al-Nasr, ‘Did you hear what we were (discussing) in from the Ahadeeth with Ja’farasws?’ He said, ‘By Allahazwj! We were not (discussing) except Zikr of Allahazwj and good advice’.

قَالَ لَقِيتُ الْآخَرَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْفَظُهُ وَ لَا أَذْكُرُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً

He (the narrator) said, ‘I met the other one and said to him similar to that. He said, ‘I did not memorise it nor do I remember anything I heard from himasws’.

قَالَ فَذَكَّرْتُهُ حَدِيثاً مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ قَالَ لِي وَيْلَكَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ جَعْفَرٍ وَ تُعِيدُهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ رَأْسُ عَبْدٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَكَانَتْ رِجْلَاهُ مِنْ خَشَبٍ اذْهَبْ قَبَّحَكَ اللَّهُ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So, I mentioned a Hadeeth from the Ahadeeth. He said to me, ‘Woe be unto you! You heard this from Ja’farasws and are repeating it? By Allahazwj! If the head of a servant was from gold, his legs would be of wood (a metaphor). Go, may Allahazwj Uglify you!’’²⁹⁶

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’, by this chain, said,

‘I complained to Abu Abdullahasws about a people who had overcome me during the excitement (troubles), and in the vicinity were Nasibis, and the man was not from among them’. Abu Abdullahasws said to me: ‘Those whom you have mentioned are a people from whom is a correct lineage, so seek assistance by them on taking out your rights. They would be (prepared to) help you’.

قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ جَعْفَراً أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَعِينَ بِكُمْ فَقَالُوا إِي وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ نَكُنْ بِمَوَالِي جَعْفَرٍ لَكَانَ الْوَاجِبُ عَلَيْنَا فِي صِحَّةِ نَسَبِهِ أَنْ نَقُومَ فِي رِسَالَتِهِ فَقَامُوا مَعِي حَتَّى اسْتَخْرَجُوا الدَّارَ فَبَاعُوهَا لِي وَ أَعْطَوْنِيَ الثَّمَنَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went to them, and I said to them, ‘Ja’farasws has ordered me that I should seek assistance from you’. They said to me, ‘By Allahazwj! If we were not with Wilayah of Ja’farasws, it would have been an Obligation upon us regarding the correctness of hisasws lineage, that we should stand with regards to hisasws message’. They stood with me until we went outside the house. They sold it for me, and gave me the price’’.²⁹⁷

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – One of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Awn Al Shaybani, from a man from our companions who said,

‘I hired half a camel loader and he (the owner) said to me, ‘Do not worry about the one who will be sharing the ride with you. When we were at Al-Qadisiyya, he came up with a neighbour of mine from the Arabs, and I knew him as being a harsh opponent, and he said, ‘This is your sharer, and expressed to him that I was happy to have him share with me and serve him, and extend all the help I can to him. I did all that and served him like a servant of his, and that made him considerate towards me.

قَالَ فَإِذَا كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَطَّنْتُ نَفْسِي عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ وَ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ لَهُ قَدْ بَادَرَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ يَا هَذَا إِنَّ لِي عَلَيْكَ حَقّاً وَ لِي بِكَ حُرْمَةً فَقُلْتُ حُقُوقٌ وَ حُرَمٌ

Thus, when I served him like a slave, he started liking me. And when we arrived at Al-Medina, he said to me, ‘Do I not have a right of companionship (over you) and you approve and respect me?’ I replied: ‘Indeed, you have rights upon me and I respect’.

قَالَ قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَيْنَ تَنْحُو فَاسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَى صَاحِبِكَ قَالَ فَبُهِتُ‏ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ لَا أَدْرِي‏ بِمَا أُجِيبُهُ

He then said: ‘I know very well where you will go, I would like you to ask permission for me to your Masterasws’. I was shocked to hear his words and I did not know what to answer him, instead I kept on looking at his face.

قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ وَ جِوَارِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْخِلَافِ وَ قَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قِصَّتَهُ إِلَى أَنْ سَأَلَنِي الِاسْتِئْذَانَ عَلَيْكَ فَمَا أَجَبْتُهُ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ قَالَ فَأْذَنْ لَهُ

I came up to Abu Abdullahasws, I informed himasws about that man, and of his neighbourhood from me and that he is one of opponents. I narrated the story to himasws until heasws asked me to seek permission for him to see youasws but I did not give any answer to him. Heasws said: ‘Iasws permit for him’.

قَالَ فَلَمْ أُوتَ شَيْئاً مِنْ أُمُورِ الدُّنْيَا كُنْتُ بِهِ أَشَدَّ سُرُوراً مِنْ إِذْنِهِ لِيُعْلَمَ مَكَانِي مِنْهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘So there was nothing which made me happier from the affairs of the world which was more intensely joyful from hisasws giving the permission, as my status was known from it’.

قَالَ فَجِئْتُ بِالرَّجُلِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِالتَّرْحِيبِ ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُ بِالْمَائِدَةِ وَ أَقْبَلَ لَا يَدَعُهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ إِلَّا مِمَّا كَانَ يَتَنَاوَلُهُ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُ اطْعَمْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى إِذَا رُفِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَقْبَلْنَا نَسْمَعُ‏ مِنْهُ أَحَادِيثَ لَمْ أَطْمَعْ أَنْ أَسْمَعَ مِثْلَهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَرْوِيهَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

He (the narrator) said: ‘So I came with the man, and Abu Abdullahasws faced towards him with the respect. Then heasws called for the meal for him, and would not leave him to eat except from what heasws ate himselfasws, and heasws was saying: ‘Eat more, may Allahazwj have Mercy upon you’, until when the meal was raised, Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said (such and such). He went on to hear such Ahadeeth from himasws which I had never heard having being reported from anyone from Abu Abdullahasws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي آخِرِ كَلَامِهِ‏ وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَزْواجاً وَ ذُرِّيَّةً فَجَعَلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنَ الْأَزْوَاجِ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ مِثْلَ مَا جَعَلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ فَنَحْنُ عَقِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ أَجْرَى اللَّهُ لآِخِرِنَا مِثْلَ مَا أَجْرَى لِأَوَّلِنَا

Then Abu Abdullahasws said towards the end of hisasws speech: ‘And We had Sent Rasools from before you and We Made wives and offspring to be for them [13:38]. Thus, Allahazwj, Gave children and wives to Rasool-Allahsaww as they were given to the Rasoolsas before himsaww. So, weasws are the children and Progenyasws of Rasool-Allahsaww. Allahazwj has Made to flow for the last one of usasws as Allahazwj has Made it to flow for the first one of usasws.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا فَلَمْ تَمُرَّ بِي لَيْلَةٌ أَطْوَلُ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَ لَمْ أُخْبِرْكَ بِخَبَرِ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَ لَكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَهُ أَصْلٌ فَإِنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْراً قَبِلَ مَا سَمِعَ مِنَّا وَ إِنْ يُرِدْ بِهِ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مَنَعَهُ مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْهُ مِنْ قَدْرِهِ أَنْ يَحْكِيَ عَنَّا شَيْئاً مِنْ أَمْرِنَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then we arose (and left). There did not pass for me a night longer than it. So when it was the morning, I came up to Abu Abdullahasws, so I said to himasws, ‘Did I not inform you with the news of the man?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, but the man, there is an origin for him, so Allahazwj Intended goodness with him before what he heard from us, and if Heazwj had Intended other than that, would have Prevented him. What Iasws have mentioned from it, from the amount of Ahadeeth, he would tell something from usasws, from ourasws matter (Al-Wilayah)’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ الْعِرَاقَ مَا أَرَى‏ أَنَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَحَداً أَنْفَذُ مِنْهُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So when I reached Al-Iraq, and I did not see in the world anyone more committed to this matter (Al-Wilayah) than him’’.²⁹⁸

Heasws sat down in between the Prophetsaww and Ayesha. She said, ‘O sonasws of Abu Talibasws! Did youasws not find any seat apart from my thigh?’ Rasool-Allahsaww hit her with hissaww hand from behind her, then said: ‘Do not hurt mesaww regarding mysaww beloved, for no one would hate himasws except three – One of an adulteress, or a hypocrite, or one whose mother conceived him during part of her menstruation’’.²⁹⁹

Hesaww said: ‘Surely Isaww and youasws have been created from one clay. A remnant remained from it, so Allahazwj Created ourasws Shias from it. Thus, they would be called by the names of their fathers due to the goodness of their birth. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the people would be called with the names (surname) of their mothers besides ourasws Shias’’.³⁰⁰

‘Ali son of Ja’farasws, from his brotherasws Musaasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws, from Aliasws Bin Al-Hsuaynasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws Amir Al-Momineenasws, may the Salawat of Allahazwj be upon themasws all having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to measws: ‘O Aliasws!

Then heasws recited: Our Lord! Take us out. We will do righteous deeds, -in the Wilayah of Aliasws, other than which we used to do!’ [35:37], in hisasws enmity.

فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ فِي الْجَوَابِ‏ أَ وَ لَمْ نُعَمِّرْكُمْ ما يَتَذَكَّرُ فِيهِ مَنْ تَذَكَّرَ وَ جاءَكُمُ النَّذِيرُ وَ هُوَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ فَذُوقُوا فَما لِلظَّالِمِينَ‏ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ نَصِيرٍ يَنْصُرُهُمْ وَ لَا يُنْجِيهِمْ مِنْهُ وَ لَا يَحْجُبُهُمْ عَنْهُ‏.

It would be said to them in the answer: Or, did We not Grant you a life-span what he could be doing Zikr during it, one who was mindful? And the warner did come to you, - and hesaww is the Prophetsaww, therefore taste (the Punishment), for there is no helper for the ones who are unjust [35:37], to the Progenyasws of Muhammadasws, to help them nor saving them from it, nor veiling them from it’’.³¹⁰

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported from Abu Nubata who said,

‘Al-Haris Al-Hamdani entered to see Amir Al-Momineenasws among a number of the Shias, and I was with himasws. Al-Haris went on to bend in his walking, and make marks on the ground with his staff, and he was sick.

فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ كَانَتْ لَهُ مِنْهُ‏ مَنْزِلَةٌ وَ قَالَ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ يَا حَارِثُ‏ قَالَ نَالَ الدَّهْرُ مِنِّي وَ زَادَنِي أَوَداً وَ غَلِيلًا اخْتِصَامُ أَصْحَابِكَ بِبَابِكَ قَالَ فِيمَ

Amir Al-Momineenasws turned towards him, and there was a status for him in hisasws presence, and heasws said: ‘How do you find yourself, O Haris?’ He said, ‘The time has taken its toll from me and increased me in illnesses and pains. Yourasws companions are disputing at yourasws door’. Heasws said: ‘Regarding what?’

قَالَ فِي شَأْنِكَ وَ الْبَلِيَّةِ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ فَمِنْ مُفْرِطٍ غَالٍ وَ مُبْغِضٍ قَالٍ وَ مِنْ مُتَرَدِّدٍ مُرْتَابٍ فَلَا يَدْرِي أَ يُقْدِمُ أَمْ يُحْجِمُ

He said, ‘Regarding yourasws afflictions and yourasws misfortunes from before youasws. The one who fabricates, exaggerates, and the hating ones speaks, and of the hesitations of a hesitant one, so he does not know whether he should advance or retreat’.

قَالَ فَحَسْبُكَ يَا أَخَا هَمْدَانَ أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ شِيعَتِي النَّمَطُ الْأَوْسَطُ إِلَيْهِمْ يَرْجِعُ الْغَالِي وَ بِهِمْ يَلْحَقُ التَّالِي قَالَ لَوْ كَشَفْتَ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي الرَّيْبَ عَنْ قُلُوبِنَا وَ جَعَلْتَنَا فِي ذَلِكَ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ مِنْ أَمْرِنَا

Heasws said: ‘It suffices you, O brother of Hamdan! Indeed! The best of myasws Shias is of the moderate manners. The exaggerator should return to them and those lag behind should catch up with them’. He said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for youasws! If youasws could uncover the doubts from our hearts, and make us to be upon an insight regarding that regarding our affairs’.

قَالَ فَذَكِّرْ فَإِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ مَلْبُوسٌ عَلَيْكَ إِنَّ دِينَ اللَّهِ لَا يُعْرَفُ بِالرِّجَالِ بَلْ بِآيَةِ الْحَقِّ وَ الْآيَةُ الْعَلَامَةُ فَاعْرِفِ الْحَقَّ تَعْرِفْ أَهْلَهُ يَا حَارِثُ‏ إِنَّ الْحَقَّ أَحْسَنُ الْحَدِيثِ وَ الصَّادِعَ بِهِ مُجَاهِدٌ وَ بِالْحَقِّ أُخْبِرُكَ فَأَرْعِنِي سَمْعَكَ ثُمَّ خَبِّرْ بِهِ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ خَصَاصَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِكَ

Heasws said: ‘Remember, for you are a person, there is a clothing (covering) upon you. The Religion of Allahazwj cannot be recognised by the men, but by the signs of the truth, and the signs are the markings. Recognise the truth, you will recognise its people. O Haris! The truth is the best narration, and the one encountering alongside with it is a holy warrior, and Iasws shall inform you with the truth, so let measws see you hearing measws, then inform with it the ones from your companions who has specialities for him.

أَلَا إِنِّي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَ أَخُو رَسُولِهِ وَ صِدِّيقُهُ الْأَوَّلُ صَدَّقْتُهُ وَ آدَمُ بَيْنَ الرُّوحِ وَ الْجَسَدِ ثُمَّ إِنِّي صِدِّيقُهُ الْأَوَّلُ فِي أُمَّتِكُمْ حَقّاً

Indeed! Iasws am a servant of Allahazwj and brotherasws of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and hissaww friend, the first one to ratify himsaww while Adamas was between the spirit and the body. Then Iasws was the first one to ratify himsaww in your community, truly.

فَنَحْنُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ نَحْنُ الْآخَرُونَ أَلَا وَ أَنَا خَاصَّتُهُ يَا حَارِ وَ خَالِصَتُهُ وَ صَفْوَتُهُ وَ وَصِيُّهُ وَ وَلِيُّهُ وَ صَاحِبُ نَجْوَاهُ وَ سِرِّهِ

Weasws are the former ones and weasws are the latter ones. Indeed, and Iasws am hissaww special one. O Har (Haris), and hisasws sincere one, and hissaww elite, and hisasws successorasws, and hissaww guardian, and a companion of hissaww secret consultations and hissaww secrets.

أُوتِيتُ فَهْمَ الْكِتَابِ وَ فَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ وَ عِلْمَ الْقُرْآنِ‏ وَ الْأَسْبَابَ وَ اسْتُودِعْتُ أَلْفَ مِفْتَاحٍ يَفْتَحُ كُلُّ مِفْتَاحٍ أَلْفَ بَابٍ‏ يُفْضِي‏ كُلُّ بَابٍ إِلَى أَلْفِ أَلْفِ عَهْدٍ وَ أُيِّدْتُ أَوْ قَالَ أُمْدِدْتُ بِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ نَفْلًا وَ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَيَجْرِي لِي وَ لِمَنِ اسْتُحْفِظَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِي مَا جَرَى اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ حَتَّى يَرِثَ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا

Iasws have been Given understanding of the Book, and the decisive address, and knowledge of the Quran, and the lineages, and Iasws have been entrusted with a thousand keys, each key opening a thousand doors, each door leading to a thousand (upon) thousand pacts, and Iasws am being supported’, or said: ‘Iasws am being helped by the Night of Pre-determination being Awarded, and that flows for measws and for the ones from myasws offspring who are protected. The night and day do not flow until Allahazwj Makes to inherit the earth and the ones upon it.

وَ أُبَشِّرُكَ يَا حَارِ لَيَعْرِفُنِي وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ وَلِيِّي وَ عَدُوِّي فِي مَوَاطِنَ شَتَّى عِنْدَ الْمَمَاتِ وَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ وَ عِنْدَ الْمُقَاسَمَةِ قَالَ وَ مَا الْمُقَاسَمَةُ قَالَ مُقَاسَمَةُ النَّارِ أَقْسِمُهَا صِحَاحاً أَقُولُ هَذَا وَلِيِّي وَ هَذَا عَدُوِّي

And receive glad tidings, O Har (Haris). By the Oneazwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person, myasws friend and myasws enemy will see measws in various places – at the death, and at the bridge, and at the distribution’. He said, ‘And what is the distribution?’ Heasws said: ‘Distribution of the Fire. Iasws shall distribute it correctly. Iasws will say: ‘This is myasws friend and this is myasws enemy!’

ثُمَّ أَخَذَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِيَدِ الْحَارِثِ وَ قَالَ يَا حَارِثُ أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِكَ كَمَا أَخَذَ بِيَدِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لِي وَ قَدْ اشْتَكَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ حَسَدَةَ قُرَيْشٍ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَخَذْتُ‏ بِحُجْزَةٍ مِنْ ذِي الْعَرْشِ تَعَالَى وَ أَخَذْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ بِحُجْزَتِي وَ أَخَذَتْ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ بِحُجْزَتِكَ وَ أَخَذَ شِيعَتُكُمْ بِحُجَزِكُمْ‏

Then Amir Al-Momineenasws grabbed a hand of Al-Haris and said: ‘O Haris! Iasws am grabbing your hand just as Rasool-Allahsaww had grabbed myasws hand and said to measws, and Iasws had complained to himsaww of the envy of Quraysh and the hypocrites: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Isaww shall hold a side of the Oneazwj with the Throne, the Exalted, and youasws, O Aliasws, will hold mysaww side, and yoursaww offspring will hold yourasws side, and yourasws Shias will hold theirasws side.

فَمَا ذَا يَصْنَعُ اللَّهُ بِنَبِيِّهِ وَ مَا ذَا يَصْنَعُ نَبِيُّهُ بِوَصِيِّهِ وَ مَا ذَا يَصْنَعُ وَصِيُّهُ بِأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ

So, what is that Allahazwj would Do with Hisazwj Prophetsaww? And what is that Hissaww Prophetsaww would do with hissaww successorasws? And what is that hissaww successorasws would do with the Peopleasws of hissaww household and theirasws Shias?

خُذْهَا إِلَيْكَ يَا حَارِ قَصِيرَةٌ مِنْ طَوِيلَةٍ أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ لَكَ مَا اكْتَسَبْتَ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثاً

Take it to you, O Har (Haris), short from (its) long. You will be with the one you love, and for you would be what you had earned’ – saying it thrice.

فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ وَ قَامَ يَجُرُّ رِدَاءَهُ جَذَلًا مَا أُبَالِي وَ رَبِّي بَعْدَ هَذَا أَ لَقِيتُ الْمَوْتَ أَوْ لَقِيَنِي‏.

Al-Haris said, and he stood up wearing his cloak gleefully, ‘I don’t care after this whether I meet the death, or it meets me’’.³¹²

10 مَشَارِقُ الْأَنْوَارِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: حُبُّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَنْفَعُ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ فِي سَبْعَةِ مَوَاطِنَ مَهُولَةٍ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَ عِنْدَ الْقِيَامِ مِنَ الْأَجْدَاثِ وَ عِنْدَ تَطَايُرِ الصُّحُفِ وَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ وَ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ

(The book) ‘Mashariq Al-Anwaar’ – ‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘Love of the Peopleasws of the Household would benefit the one who loves themasws, in seven horrific places – at the death, and in the grave, and at the standing from the graves, and at the publication of the books, and at the Reckoning, and at the scale, and at the bridge.

فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَكُونَ آمِنًا فِي هَذِهِ الْمَوَاطِنِ فَلْيَتَوَالَ عَلِيّاً بَعْدِي وَ لْيَتَمَسَّكْ بِالْحَبْلِ الْمَتِينِ وَ هُوَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ عِتْرَتُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَإِنَّهُمْ خُلَفَائِي وَ أَوْلِيَائِي عِلْمُهُمْ عِلْمِي وَ حِلْمُهُمْ حِلْمِي وَ أَدَبُهُمْ أَدَبِي وَ حَسَبُهُمْ حَسَبِي سَادَةُ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ وَ قَادَةُ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ وَ بَقِيَّةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ حَرْبُهُمْ حَرْبِي وَ عَدُوُّهُمْ عَدُوِّي‏.

So, the one who loves to be safe in these places, then let him have the Wilayah of Aliasws after mesaww, and let him adhere with the strong rope, and it is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and hisasws offspring from after himasws, for theyasws are mysaww caliphs, and myasws guardians. Theirasws knowledge is mysaww knowledge, and theirasws forbearance is mysaww forbearance, and theirasws etiquettes are mysaww etiquettes, and theirasws affiliations are mysaww affiliations. Theyasws are chiefs of the friends, and guides of the pious, and remainder of the Prophetsas. Theirasws war is mysaww war, and theirasws enemies are mysaww enemies’’.³¹³

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When the soul of one of you reaches this’, and heasws indicated to hisasws throat: ‘It would be said to him: ‘As for what you were cautious from the worries of the world, so you are safe from it’. Then he would be given the glad tidings’’.³¹⁴

12- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بَشِّرْ شِيعَتَكَ وَ مُحِبِّيكَ بِخِصَالٍ عَشْرٍ أَوَّلُهَا طِيبُ مَوْلِدِهِمْ وَ ثَانِيهَا حُسْنُ إِيمَانِهِمْ وَ ثَالِثُهَا حُبُّ اللَّهِ لَهُمْ وَ الرَّابِعَةُ الْفُسْحَةُ فِي قُبُورِهِمْ وَ الْخَامِسَةُ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ

And from himasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, from Rasool-Allahsaww having said to Amir Al-Momineenasws: ‘Give glad tidings to yourasws Shias and ones who love youasws with ten characteristics. The first of these is goodness of their births; and its second is goodness of their Eman; and its third is Love of Allahazwj for them, and the fourth is the spaciousness in their graves; and the fifth is their Noor would be shining in front of them;

وَ السَّادِسَةُ نَزْعُ الْفَقْرِ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَعْيُنِهِمْ وَ غِنَى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ السَّابِعَةُ الْمَقْتُ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِأَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ الثَّامِنَةُ الْأَمْنُ مِنَ الْبَرَصِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ التَّاسِعَةُ انْحِطَاطُ الذُّنُوبِ وَ السَّيِّئَاتِ عَنْهُمْ وَ الْعَاشِرَةُ هُمْ مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَنَا مَعَهُمْ فَ طُوبى‏ لَهُمْ وَ حُسْنُ مَآبٍ‏.

And sixth is removal of the poverty from between their eyes and enriching of their hearts; and the seventh is the Abhorrence of Allahazwj to their enemies; and the eighth is the security from the leprosy and the vitiligo; and the ninth is the abatement of the sins and the evil deeds from them; and the tenth, they would be with mesaww in the Paradise and Isaww would be with them, so (the tree of) Tooba would be for them and an excellent resort [13:29]’’.³¹⁵

13- وَ رَوَى جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَعْطَى شِيعَتَكَ وَ مُحِبِّيكَ سَبْعَ خِصَالٍ الرِّفْقَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْأُنْسَ عِنْدَ الْوَحْشَةِ وَ النُّورَ عِنْدَ الظُّلْمَةِ وَ الْأَمْنَ عِنْدَ الْفَزَعِ وَ الْقِسْطَ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ الْجَوَازَ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ وَ دُخُولَ الْجَنَّةِ قَبْلَ النَّاسِ‏ يَسْعى‏ نُورُهُمْ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ‏.

And it is reported by Jabir Bin Abdullah having said,

‘While we were in the presence of Rasool-Allahsaww, when hesaww turned towards Aliasws and said: ‘This here is Jibraeelas informing mesaww about Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty having Given yourasws Shias, and those that love youasws, seven qualities – The kindness during the death, and the companions during the loneliness (of the grave), and the Light in the darkness, and the security during the panic, and the equity at the Scale, and the Permit over the Bridge, and the entrance into the Paradise before the people: their Light running in front of them and on their right [57:12]’’.³¹⁶

14- وَ رَوَى جَابِرٌ أَيْضاً عَنْهُ ص قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَقَدْ أَصَابَ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَلَا يَشُكَّنَّ أَحَدٌ أَنَّهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَإِنَّ فِي حُبِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي عِشْرِينَ خَصْلَةً عَشْرٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ عَشْرٌ فِي الْآخِرَةِ

And it is reported by Jabir as well from himsaww having said: ‘One who loves the Imamsasws from Peopleasws of mysaww Household, so he had achieved the good of the world and the Hereafter. None of you should doubt that he would be in the Paradise, for the love of Peopleasws of mysaww Household and has twenty characteristics, ten in the world and ten in the Hereafter.

أَمَّا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَالزُّهْدُ وَ الْحِرْصُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ وَ الْوَرَعُ فِي الدِّينِ وَ الرَّغْبَةُ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ وَ التَّوْبَةُ قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ وَ النَّشَاطُ فِي قِيَامِ اللَّيْلِ وَ الْيَأْسُ مِمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَ الْحِفْظُ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ نَهْيِهِ وَ التَّاسِعَةُ بُغْضُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْعَاشِرَةُ السَّخَاءُ

As for in the world, it is the asceticism, and the eagerness upon the (good) deed, and the devoutness in the Religion, and the desire in the (acts of) worship, and the repentance before the death, and the vitality in standing at night (for Salat), and the despair from what is in the hands of the people, and the preservation of the Commands of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and Hisazwj Prohibition, and the ninth is hatred of the world, and the tenth is the generosity.

وَ أَمَّا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَلَا يُنْشَرُ لَهُ دِيوَانٌ وَ لَا يُنْصَبُ لَهُ مِيزَانٌ وَ يُعْطَى كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يُبَيَّضُ وَجْهُهُ وَ يُكْسَى مِنْ حُلَلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ يُشَفَّعُ فِي مِائَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ يُتَوَّجُ مِنْ تِيجَانِ الْجَنَّةِ الْعَاشِرَةُ دُخُولُ الْجَنَّةِ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ فَطُوبَى لِمُحِبِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي.

And as for in the Hereafter, so the register (of deeds) would not be publicised for him, nor would a scale be set up for him, and he would be given his book in his right hand, and there would be written for him a freedom (permit) from the Fire, and his face would be whitened, and he would be clothed from the ornaments of the Paradise, and he would (be able to) intercede regarding one hundred of his family members, and Allahazwj would Look at him with the Mercy, and he would be crowned from the crowns of Paradise, the tenth is entering the Paradise without any Reckoning. So, beatitude is for the one who loves Peopleasws of mysaww Household’’.³¹⁷

15- وَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ قَدِ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِمَّا أُكَرِّرُ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِنَّمَا بَيْنَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَغْتَبِطَ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَاهُنَا وَ أَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَنْجَرَتِهِ

And from Ibn Abu Yafour who said, ‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Iasws embarrassed from repeating this speech upon you all. But rather, between one of you and him being exultant is the reaching of his soul to over here’ – and heasws gestured by hisasws hand to hisasws throat.

يَأْتِيهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَيَقُولَانِ لَهُ أَمَّا مَا كُنْتَ تَخَافُ فَقَدْ آمَنَكَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَ أَمَّا مَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُو فَأَمَامَكَ فَأَبْشِرُوا أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنَةٍ حَوْرَاءُ عَيْنَاءُ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ شَهِيدٌ.

Rasool-Allahsaww and Aliasws come to him and say to them: ‘As for what you were fearing, so Allahazwj has Secured you from it, and as for what you were desiring, it is in front of you’. Therefore, receive glad tidings! You (Shias) are the pure ones, and your women are pure. Every believing woman is a Maiden Hourie and every Momin is a truthful, a martyr’’.³¹⁸

16 وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِأَصْحَابِهِ ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا وَ أَبْغَضَنَا النَّاسُ وَ صَدَّقْتُمُونَا وَ كَذَّبَنَا النَّاسُ وَ وَصَلْتُمُونَا وَ جَفَانَا النَّاسُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ مَحْيَاكُمْ مَحْيَانَا وَ مَمَاتَكُمْ مَمَاتَنَا

And Abu Abdullahasws said to hisasws companions, initiating from himasws: ‘You (Shias) are loving usasws and the people are hating usasws, and you are ratifying usasws and the people are belying usasws, and you are connecting with usasws and the people are being disloyal to usasws. Thus, Allahazwj Made your lives to be ourasws lives, and your deaths to be ourasws passing away.

أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا بَيْنَ الرَّجُلِ مِنْكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يُقِرَّ اللَّهُ عَيْنَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ وَ أَوْمَأَ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ فَمَدَّ الْجِلْدَةَ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ ذَلِكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا رَضِيَ حَتَّى حَلَفَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ‏ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَحَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ بِذَلِكَ

But, by Allahazwj! There is nothing between the man from you and Allahazwj Causing his eyes to be delighted except the reaching of his soul to this place’ – and heasws gestured to hisasws throat, extended the skin, then repeated that. By Allahazwj heasws was not pleased until heasws swore saying: ‘By Allahazwj Who there is no god except Himazwj! Myasws father Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws narrated to measws with that.

أَنَّ النَّاسَ أَخَذُوا هَاهُنَا وَ هَاهُنَا وَ إِنَّكُمْ أَخَذْتُمْ حَيْثُ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَارَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ مُحَمَّداً ص وَ اخْتَرْتُمْ خِيَرَةَ اللَّهِ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَاتِ إِلَى الْأَسْوَدِ وَ الْأَبْيَضِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَرُورِيّاً وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَامِيّاً.

Surely, the people are taking (from) here and there, and you (Shias) are taking where Allahazwj has Placed. Allahazwj Chose Muhammadsaww from Hisazwj servant, and youasws chose the Choice of Allahazwj. So, fear Allahazwj and fulfil the entrustments to the black and the white, and even if he is a Harouriya (sect), and even if he was a Syrian!’’³¹⁹

17- وَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّمَا يَغْتَبِطُ أَحَدُكُمْ حِينَ تَبْلُغُ نَفْسُهُ هَاهُنَا فَيَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ مَلَكٌ فَيَقُولُ أَمَّا مَا كُنْتَ تَرْجُو فَقَدْ أُعْطِيتَهُ وَ أَمَّا مَا كُنْتَ تَخَافُهُ فَقَدْ أَمِنْتَ مِنْهُ

And from Abdul Raheem who said, ‘Abu Ja’farasws said to me: ‘But rather, one of you would be exultant when his soul reaches over here (throat), as an Angel would descend unto him and say: ‘As for what you were desiring, so you have (now) been granted it, and as for what you were fearing, you have (now) been Secured from it’.

فَيُفْتَحُ لَهُ بَابٌ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ انْظُرْ إِلَى مَسْكَنِكَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ انْظُرْ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ هُمْ رُفَقَاؤُكَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ كانُوا يَتَّقُونَ لَهُمُ الْبُشْرى‏ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ.

A door would be opened for him to his house from the Paradise and it would be said to him: ‘Look at your dwelling from the Paradise, and look, this here is Rasool-Allahsaww, and so and so, and so and so, and so and so. They are your friends’. And it is the Word of the Exalted: Those who are believing and they were fearing [10:63] For them is the glad tiding in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. [10:64]’’.³²⁰

18- وَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكُمْ لَعَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ دِينِ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ إِنَّكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ لَعَلَى الْحَقِّ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ كُفُّوا أَلْسِنَتَكُمْ وَ صَلُّوا فِي مَسَاجِدِكُمْ وَ عُودُوا مَرْضَاكُمْ فَإِذَا تَمَيَّزَ النَّاسُ فَتَمَيَّزُوا فَإِنَّ ثَوَابَكُمْ لَعَلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ مَا تَكُونُونَ إِذَا بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُ أَحَدِكُمْ إِلَى هَذِهِ وَ أَوْمَأَ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ قَرَّتْ عَيْنُهُ.

And from Safwan,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘By Allahazwj! You (Shias) are upon the Religion of Allahazwj, and Religion of Hisazwj Angels, and by Allahazwj you are upon the truth. So, fear Allahazwj and restrain your tongues, and pray Salat in your Masjids, and console your sick. When the people are distinguished, you will be distinguished, for your Rewards are upon Allahazwj, and the most jubilant of what you can happen to be is when the soul of one of you reaches to this’, and heasws indicated to hisasws throat, ‘His eyes would be delighted’’.³²¹

19- وَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لِلْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ لَيَنْفَعَنَّكَ حُبُّنَا عِنْدَ ثَلَاثٍ عِنْدَ نُزُولِ مَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ وَ عِنْدَ مُسَاءَلَتِكَ فِي قَبْرِكَ وَ عِنْدَ مَوْقِفِكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ‏.

And from Jabir Al Jufy,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said to Al-Haris Al-Awr: ‘(Having) ourasws love would benefit you in three (places) – at the descent of the Angel of death, and at your being questioned in the grave, and at your pausing in front of Allahazwj’’.³²²

Kitab ‘Al Mukhtasar’ of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman, copying from the book collected by the seyyid Hassan Bin Kabsh Al Husayni, by his chain from Al Mufeed, raising the Hadeeth to,

‘Umm Salamara having said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! Yourasws brethren would be joyful in four places – at the exit of their souls, and Isaww and youasws would appear to them, and at the questioning in their graves, and at the presentation, and at the bridge’’.³²³

He said, ‘And from what is reported to me by the majestic seyyid Baha Al Deen Ali Bin Abdul Hameed Al Husayni, by his chain, from Abu Amro Al Kashy, from Muhammad Bin Masoud, raising it to Saeed Bin Yasaar,

‘He was present with one of the two sons of Sabour, and there was devoutness and striving for them. One of them got sick, and I do not reckon except it was Zakariya Bin Sabour. I presented at his death. He extended his hand, then said, ‘I am extending my hand, O Aliasws!’

قَالَ قَصَصْتُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع ثُمَّ قُمْتُ عَنْهُ فَأَتْبَعَنِي رَسُولَهُ فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِي خَبَرَ الرَّجُلِ الَّذِي حَضَرْتَهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ يَقُولُ قُلْتُ بَسَطَ يَدَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ بَسَطْتُ يَدِي يَا عَلِيُّ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رَآهُ وَ اللَّهِ رَآهُ وَ اللَّهِ‏.

I narrated this story to Abu Abdullahasws, then I arose from himasws. Hisasws messenger followed me and made me return to himasws. Heasws said: ‘Inform me the news of the man whom you were present at his death, which thing did you hear him saying?’ I said, ‘He extended his hand, then said, ‘I am extending my hand, O Aliasws!’ Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘He saw himasws, by Allahazwj, he saw himasws!’’³²⁴

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi’ – Ahmad Bin Abdoun, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Al Zubeyr, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Bin Fazzal, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Abdullah Bin Al Waleed who said,

‘We entered to see Abu Abdullahasws and greeted unto himas and we sat down in front of himasws. Heasws asked us: ‘Who are you?’ We said, ‘From the people of Al-Kufa’. Heasws said: ‘But surely there is no city from the cities with more people loving usasws, than Al-Kufa, then this group in particular.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَاكُمْ لِأَمْرٍ جَهِلَهُ النَّاسُ أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا وَ أَبْغَضَنَا النَّاسُ وَ صَدَّقْتُمُونَا وَ كَذَّبَنَا النَّاسُ وَ اتَّبَعْتُمُونَا وَ خَالَفَنَا النَّاسُ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ مَحْيَاكُمْ مَحْيَانَا وَ مَمَاتَكُمْ مَمَاتَنَا

Allahazwj has Guided you all to a matter the people are ignorant of it. You love usasws and the people hate usasws, and you ratify usasws and the people belie usasws, and you follow usasws and the people oppose usasws. So, Allahazwj Makes your lives as ourasws lives, and your deaths as ourasws passing away.

فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا بَيْنَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَرَى مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ عَيْنُهُ أَوْ يَغْتَبِطَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَاهُنَا ثُمَّ أَهْوَى بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ

Iasws testify upon myasws fatherasws that heasws was saying: ‘There is nothing between one of you (Shias) and him seeing would his eyes would be delighted with, or him being jubilant, except the reaching of his soul over here’, then heasws indicated by hisasws hand to hisasws throat.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ‏ وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَزْواجاً وَ ذُرِّيَّةً فَنَحْنُ ذُرِّيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

Then heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj has Said in Hisazwj Book: And We had Sent Rasools from before you and We Made wives and offspring to be for them. [13:38]. So, weasws are the offspring of Rasool-Allahsaww’’.³²⁵

باب 7 أنه لا تقبل الأعمال إلا بالولاية

CHAPTER 7 – THE DEEDS ARE NOT ACCEPTED EXCEPT WITH WILAYAH

الآيات إبراهيم‏ مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ أَعْمالُهُمْ كَرَمادٍ اشْتَدَّتْ بِهِ الرِّيحُ فِي يَوْمٍ عاصِفٍ لا يَقْدِرُونَ مِمَّا كَسَبُوا عَلى‏ شَيْ‏ءٍ ذلِكَ هُوَ الضَّلالُ الْبَعِيدُ

The Verses – (Surah) Ibrahimas: An example of those who are committing Kufr with their Lord, their deeds are like ashes the wind blows hard upon during a stormy day. They are not able upon anything from what they are earning. That is the far straying [14:18]

طه 84 وَ إِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تابَ وَ آمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ صالِحاً ثُمَّ اهْتَدى‏

(Surah) Ta Ha: And I am Forgiving to the one who repents and believes and does a righteous deed, then (follows) righteous Guidance [20:82]

و قال تعالى‏ وَ مَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ الصَّالِحاتِ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلا يَخافُ ظُلْماً وَ لا هَضْماً

And the Exalted Said: And one who does from the righteous deeds and he is a Momin, so he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation [20:112].

Tafseer Al Qummi – In a report of Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws regarding Words of the Exalted: so he will neither fear injustice nor deprivation [20:112]: ‘Yes, nothing be reduced from his deeds’, and as for ‘(fearing) injustice’, Heazwj is Saying: ‘He will never be deprived of these (Its Rewards)’’.³²⁶

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Ibn Natana, from Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Al Sabaty,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The first of what the servant would be questioned about when he pauses in front of Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty is about the Obligatory Salats, and about the Obligatory Zakat, and about the Obligatory Fasts, and about the Obligatory Hajj, and about ourasws Wilayah, Peopleasws of the Household.

فَإِنْ أَقَرَّ بِوَلَايَتِنَا ثُمَّ مَاتَ عَلَيْهَا قُبِلَتْ مِنْهُ صَلَاتُهُ وَ صَوْمُهُ وَ زَكَاتُهُ وَ حَجُّهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُقِرَّ بِوَلَايَتِنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَعْمَالِهِ‏.

So, if he acknowledges with ourasws Wilayah, then dies upon it, his Salat and his Fasts and his Zakat and his Hajj would be Accepted from him, but if he does no acknowledge with ourasws Wilayah in front of Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would not Accept anything from him, from his deeds’’.³²⁷

‘From Abu Abdullahasws regarding Hisazwj Words: One who comes with the good deed, then for him would be ten the likes of it [6:160]. Heasws said: ‘It is for the Muslims in general, and the good deed is the Wilayah. So, the one who does a good deed, ten would be written for him. But if does not happen to have the Wilayah for him, it would be repelled from him whatever good deed he would have done in the world, and there would be no share for him in the Hereafter’’.³³¹

‘From Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj: And I am Forgiving to the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then (follows) righteous Guidance [20:82]. Heasws said: ‘Don’t you see how it has been Stipulated (as being conditional), and the repentance would not benefit him, or the Eman and the righteous deeds, until he is rightly guided? By Allahazwj! Even if he were to struggle to do the deeds, it will not be Accepted from him until he is rightly guided’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ إِلَيْنَا.

You should fear Allahazwj and be preserving of your Prophetsaww regarding Peopleasws of hissaww Household, so you would have served him with the superior of what hesaww could be served, and would have remembered himsaww with the superior of what hesaww could have been remembered with, and you would have thanked himsaww with the superior of what hesaww could have been thanked with.

وَ أَخَذْتُمْ بِأَفْضَلِ الصَّبْرِ وَ الشُّكْرِ وَ اجْتَهَدْتُمْ أَفْضَلَ الِاجْتِهَادِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُكُمْ أَطْوَلَ مِنْكُمْ صَلَاةً وَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْكُمْ صِيَاماً فَأَنْتُمْ‏ أَتْقَى لِلَّهِ مِنْهُ وَ أَنْصَحُ لِأُولِي الْأَمْرِ.

And you would have grabbed with the superior of the patience and thanks and would have struggled with the superior of the struggling, and even if others would be offering more prolonged Salat than you, and of more frequent Fasting than you, for you would be more fearing of Allahazwj than him, and more advised by the Masterasws of the command’’.³³⁴

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed – From Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Zurary, from Al Himeyri, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Ibn Maboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Al Sabaty who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Abu Umayya Yusuf Bin Sabit narrated from youasws and youasws said: ‘No deed would harm along with the Eman, nor would any deed benefit with the Kufr’’.

فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْنِي أَبُو أُمَيَّةَ عَنْ تَفْسِيرِهَا إِنَّمَا عَنَيْتُ بِهَذَا أَنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ الْإِمَامَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ يَتَوَلَّاهُ ثُمَّ عَمِلَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِمَا شَاءَ مِنْ عَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ قُبِلَ مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ وَ ضُوعِفَ لَهُ أَضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً فَانْتَفَعَ بِأَعْمَالِ الْخَيْرِ مَعَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ فَهَذَا مَا عَنَيْتُ بِذَلِكَ

Heasws said: ‘Abu Umayya did not ask measws about its interpretation. But rather, Iasws meant by this, the one who recognises the Imamasws from Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww and follows himasws, then does a deed for himself with whatever he so desires to, from the good deeds, that would be Accepted from him, and multiplied for him manifold. Thus, he would benefit with the good deed along with the recognition. So, this is what Iasws meant by that.

وَ كَذَلِكَ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ الْأَعْمَالَ الصَّالِحَةَ الَّتِي يَعْمَلُونَهَا إِذَا تَوَلَّوُا الْإِمَامَ الْجَائِرَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

And similar to that, Allahazwj will not Accept the righteous deeds from the servant which he had done, when he follows the tyrannical imam who isn’t from Allahazwj the Exalted’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى قَالَ‏ مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ خَيْرٌ مِنْها وَ هُمْ مِنْ فَزَعٍ يَوْمَئِذٍ آمِنُونَ‏ فَكَيْفَ لَا يَنْفَعُ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ مِمَّنْ تَوَلَّى أَئِمَّةَ الْجَوْرِ

Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour said to himasws, ‘Doesn’t Allahazwj the Exalted Say: One who comes with the good deed, for him would be better than it, and they would be secure from the panic of that Day [27:89], so how can he not benefit from the righteous deeds if he were to befriend the tyrannical imam?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الْحَسَنَةُ الَّتِي عَنَاهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ هِيَ مَعْرِفَةُ الْإِمَامِ وَ طَاعَتُهُ

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘And do you know what the good deed is which Allahazwj the Exalted has Meant in this Verse? It is the recognition of the Imamasws, and being obedient to himasws.

وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ مَنْ جاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَكُبَّتْ‏ وُجُوهُهُمْ فِي النَّارِ هَلْ تُجْزَوْنَ إِلَّا ما كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ‏ وَ إِنَّمَا أَرَادَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ إِنْكَارَ الْإِمَامِ الَّذِي هُوَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

And Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says: And one who comes with the evil deed, they would be thrown upon their faces into the Fire. Will you be Recompensed except for what you had been doing? [27:90]. And what it Intended by the evil deed is the denial of the Imamasws who is from Allahazwj the Exalted’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِوَلَايَةِ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ جَاءَهُ مُنْكِراً لِحَقِّنَا جَاحِداً لِوَلَايَتِنَا أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي النَّارِ.

Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘The one who comes on the Day of Judgement with the Wilayah of the unjust imam who is not from Allahazwj, and comes having denied ourasws rights, having fought against ourasws Wilayah, Allahazwj would Fling him into the Fire on the Day of Judgement’’.³³⁶

‘We returned with Rasool-Allahsaww as two caravans from Tabuk. Hesaww said to me in one of the roads: ‘Cast the horses for measws and the camels’. They did so. Rasool-Allahsaww ascended and addressed. Hesaww praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj with what Heazwj is rightful of.

ثُمَّ قَالَ مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ مَا لِي إِذَا ذُكِرَ آلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع تَهَلَّلَتْ وُجُوهُكُمْ وَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ كَأَنَّمَا يُفْقَأُ فِي وُجُوهِكُمْ حَبُّ الرُّمَّانِ فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَوْ جَاءَ أَحَدُكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَعْمَالٍ كَأَمْثَالِ الْجِبَالِ وَ لَمْ يَجِئْ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع لَأَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي النَّارِ.

Then hesaww said: ‘Community of people! What is the matter when the progeny of Ibrahimas is mentioned your faces are jubilant, and when the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww is mentioned, it is as if there are pomegranate seeds in your faces! By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth as a Prophetsaww! Even if one of you were to come on the Day of Qiyamah with the deeds like the mountain and does not come with Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Fling him into the Fire’’.³³⁷

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O clan of Abdul Muttalibasws! Isaww asked Allahazwj for you that Heazwj Teaches your ignorant ones, and Affirm your standing one, and that Heazwj Guides your straying one, and that Heazwj Makes you to be winners, generous, merciful, and if a man were to pray Salat and stand in a row between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahimas), and meets Allahazwj hatred for youasws Peopleasws of the Household, would enter the Fire’’.³⁴²

(The book) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbar’ – Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘It was said to himasws, ‘Abu Al-Khattab mentioned from youasws and youasws said to him: ‘When you recognise the truth, then you can do whatever you so desire to’.

Heasws said: ‘May Allahazwj Curse Abu Al-Khatabb! By Allahazwj, Iasws did not say to him like that. Iasws said to him: ‘When you recognise the truth, then do whatever you so desire to from the good deeds, it would be Accepted from you’.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ‏ مَنْ عَمِلَ صالِحاً مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثى‏ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ يُرْزَقُونَ فِيها بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ‏ وَ يَقُولُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى‏ مَنْ عَمِلَ صالِحاً مِنْ ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثى‏ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَلَنُحْيِيَنَّهُ حَياةً طَيِّبَةً.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Says: one who does righteous deeds, from male or female, and he is a Momin, they would be entering the Paradise, being Sustained therein without measure [40:40]. And the Blessed and Exalted Says: One who does righteous deeds, from male or female, and he is a Momin, then We will Make him live a good life [16:97]’’.³⁴³

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Fuzeyl Bin Usman who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws was asked, it was said to himasws, ‘These aliens (followers of Abu Al-Khattab) are reported from yourasws fatherasws. They are saying that yourasws fatherasws said: ‘When you have recognised, then do whatever you so desire to’. So, from after that, they are permitting every Prohibition’.

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – From Amir Al-Momineenasws in answer to the atheist, the claiming of the contradictions in the Quran. Heasws said: ‘And as for Hisazwj Words: So, one who does from the righteous deeds and he is a Momin, then there will be no denying his exertion, [21:94], and Hisazwj Words: And I am Forgiving to the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then (follows) righteous Guidance [20:82], so all of that avails only with the rightful guidance, and it isn’t so that everyone the name Eman falls upon, so he would be deserving of the salvation from what the deviants have been destroyed with.

وَ لَوْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ لَنَجَتِ الْيَهُودُ مَعَ اعْتِرَافِهَا التَّوْحِيدَ وَ إِقْرَارِهَا بِاللَّهِ وَ نَجَا سَائِرُ الْمُقِرِّينَ بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ فَمَنْ دُونَهُ فِي الْكُفْرِ

And had that been like that, the Jews would attain salvation along with their acknowledgment of the Tawheed and their acknowledgment with Allahazwj, and so would the rest of the acknowledgers with the Oneness, from Ibleesla (as well), and ones below himla regarding the Kufr.

وَ قَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ بِقَوْلِهِ‏ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ لَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ أُولئِكَ لَهُمُ الْأَمْنُ وَ هُمْ مُهْتَدُونَ‏ وَ بِقَوْلِهِ‏ الَّذِينَ قالُوا آمَنَّا بِأَفْواهِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ‏

And Allahazwj has Explained that by Hisazwj Words: Those who are believing and are not mixing their Eman with injustice. They, for them is the security, and they are the Guided ones’ [6:82], and by Hisazwj Words: those who are saying, ‘We believe’, with their mouths while their hearts are not believing [5:41].

وَ لِلْإِيمَانِ حَالاتٌ وَ مَنَازِلُ يَطُولُ شَرْحُهَا وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْإِيمَانَ قَدْ يَكُونُ عَلَى وَجْهَيْنِ إِيمَانٍ بِالْقَلْبِ وَ إِيمَانٍ بِاللِّسَانِ كَمَا كَانَ إِيمَانُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا قَهَرَهُمُ السَّيْفُ‏ وَ شَمِلَهُمُ الْخَوْفُ فَإِنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ لَمْ تُؤْمِنْ قُلُوبُهُمْ

And there are situations for the Eman and stages, its commentary would be prolonged, and from that is that the Eman happens to be upon two aspects, Eman with the hearth and Eman with the tongue, just as the Eman of the hypocrites had been in the era of Rasool-Allahsaww, due to day the sword had compelled them and the fear had included them, so they believed by their tongues and did not believe in their hearts.

فَالْإِيمَانُ بِالْقَلْبِ هُوَ التَّسْلِيمُ لِلرَّبِّ وَ مَنْ سَلَّمَ الْأُمُورَ لِمَالِكِهَا لَمْ يَسْتَكْبِرْ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ كَمَا اسْتَكْبَرَ إِبْلِيسُ عَنِ السُّجُودِ لآِدَمَ وَ اسْتَكْبَرَ أَكْثَرُ الْأُمَمِ عَنْ طَاعَةِ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَنْفَعْهُمُ التَّوْحِيدُ كَمَا لَمْ يَنْفَعْ إِبْلِيسَ ذَلِكَ السُّجُودُ الطَّوِيلُ فَإِنَّهُ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةً وَاحِدَةً أَرْبَعَةَ آلَافِ عَامٍ لَمْ يُرِدْ بِهَا غَيْرَ زُخْرُفِ الدُّنْيَا وَ التَّمْكِينِ مِنَ النَّظِرَةِ

The Eman with the heart, it is the submission to the Lordazwj, and the one who submits the affairs to its owner, would not be arrogant about his affairs just as Ibleesla had been arrogant from doing the Sajdah to Adamas; and most of the communities became arrogant from obeying their Prophetsas, so their (professing) Tawheed did not benefit them just as Ibleesla did not benefit by that long Sajdah, for hela had done one Sajdah of four thousand years, and did not want by it the ornaments of the world and the empowerment from the looking.

فَلِذَلِكَ لَا تَنْفَعُ الصَّلَاةُ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ إِلَّا مَعَ الِاهْتِدَاءِ إِلَى سَبِيلِ النَّجَاةِ وَ طَرِيقِ الْحَقِ‏.

Therefore, due to that, the Salat and the charities will not benefit except with the rightful guidance to the way of salvation, and path of truth’’.³⁴⁵

(The book) ‘Al Illal Al Sharaie’ – Majaylawiya, from his uncle, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Kufi, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Sabbah Al Madainy, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar,

‘Abu Abdullahasws wrote a letter to him, in it was: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic did not Sent any Prophetas at all calling to recognition of Allahazwj and there wasn’t obedience with it regarding an order nor a prohibition.

وَ إِنَّمَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ الْعَمَلَ بِالْفَرَائِضِ الَّتِي افْتَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى حُدُودِهَا مَعَ مَعْرِفَةِ مَنْ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَ حَرَّمَ الْحَرَامَ ظَاهِرَهُ وَ بَاطِنَه وَ صَلَّى وَ صَامَ وَ حَجَّ وَ اعْتَمَرَ وَ عَظَّمَ حُرُمَاتِ اللَّهِ كُلَّهَا لَمْ يَدَعْ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً وَ عَمِلَ بِالْبِرِّ كُلِّهِ وَ مَكَارِمِ الْأَخْلَاقِ كُلِّهَا وَ تَجَنَّبَ سَيِّئَهَا

And rather Allahazwj Accepts from the servants the deeds with the Obligation which Allahazwj has Obligated upon its limits with recognition of the one calling to Himazwj, and obeying the one who prohibits the Prohibition, its apparent and its hidden, and he prays Salat, and Fasts and (performs) Hajj and Umrah, and holds reverence to the Sanctities of Allahazwj, all of them, not leaving anything from these, and acts with the righteousness, all of it, and the good mannerisms, all of them, and shuns its evil deeds.

وَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُحِلُّ الْحَلَالَ وَ يُحَرِّمُ الْحَرَامَ بِغَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةِ النَّبِيِّ ص لَمْ يُحِلَّ لِلَّهِ حَلَالًا وَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ لَهُ حَرَاماً وَ إِنَّ مَنْ صَلَّى وَ زَكَّى وَ حَجَّ وَ اعْتَمَرَ وَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ بِغَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةِ مَنِ افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ طَاعَتَهُ فَلَمْ يَفْعَلْ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ

And one who claims that he is permitting the Permissible(s) and prohibiting the Prohibitions without recognition of the Prophetsaww, did not permit any Permissible for the Sake of Allahazwj, and did not prohibit a Prohibition for Himazwj, and even if one prays Salat, and gives Zakat, and performs Hajj and Umrah, and does all of it without recognition of the one whom Allahazwj has Obligated obedience to himasws, so he did not do anything from that.

لَمْ يُصَلِّ وَ لَمْ يَصُمْ وَ لَمْ يُزَكِّ وَ لَمْ يَحُجَّ وَ لَمْ يَعْتَمِرْ وَ لَمْ يَغْتَسِلْ مِنَ الْجَنَابَةِ وَ لَمْ يَتَطَهَّرْ وَ لَمْ يُحَرِّمْ لِلَّهِ حَرَاماً وَ لَمْ يُحِلَّ لِلَّهِ حَلَالًا لَيْسَ لَهُ صَلَاةٌ وَ إِنْ رَكَعَ وَ إِنْ سَجَدَ وَ لَا لَهُ زَكَاةٌ وَ لَا حَجٌّ

He did not pray Salat, and did not Fast, and did not perform Hajj, and did not perform Umrah, and did not wash from the sexual impurity, and did not cleanse, and did not prohibit a Prohibition for the Sake of Allahazwj, and did not permit a Permissible for the Sake of Allahazwj, there isn’t for him any Salat, and even if performed Ruku’u and Sajdah, nor is there any Zakat for him, nor a Hajj.

وَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ كُلُّهُ يَكُونُ بِمَعْرِفَةِ رَجُلٍ مَنَّ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ أَمَرَ بِالْأَخْذِ عَنْهُ فَمَنْ عَرَفَهُ وَ أَخَذَ عَنْهُ أَطَاعَ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ أَنَّمَا هِيَ الْمَعْرِفَةُ وَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا عَرَفَ اكْتَفَى بِغَيْرِ طَاعَةٍ فَقَدْ كَذَبَ وَ أَشْرَكَ

And rather that, all of it happens to be with recognition of a man Allahazwj, Majestic and Mighty Conferred upon Hisazwj creature with obedience to himasws, and Commanded with the taking from himasws. So, the one who recognises himasws, and takes from himasws, obeys Allahazwj, and the one who claims that, rather that is the recognition, and what he recognises sufficiency without obedience, so he has lied and associated.

وَ إِنَّمَا قِيلَ اعْرِفْ وَ اعْمَلْ مَا شِئْتَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْكَ ذَلِكَ بِغَيْرِ مَعْرِفَةٍ فَإِذَا عَرَفْتَ فَاعْمَلْ لِنَفْسِكَ مَا شِئْتَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ قَلَّ أَوْ كَثُرَ فَإِنَّهُ مَقْبُولٌ مِنْكَ‏.

And rather it is said, ‘Recognise and work whatever you so desire to from the good deeds, for that would not be Accepted from you without recognition. So, when you have recognised, then do for yourself whatever you so desire, from the (acts of) obedience, little or more, for it would be Accepted from you’’.³⁴⁶

Heasws said: ‘And one who repents from an injustice and believes from Kufr, and does righteous deeds, then is guided to ourasws Wilayah’, and gestured by hisasws hand to hisasws chest’’.³⁴⁷

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to a Prophetas of his era: ‘Say to him: “By Myazwj Mighty and Myazwj Majestic and Myazwj Subduing, even if you were to worship Meazwj you melt like the melting of the fat in the pot, Iazwj will not Accept from you until you come to Meazwj from the door which Iazwj have Commanded you to!”’³⁴⁸

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘O Moalla! If a servant were to worship Allahazwj for a hundred years between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahimas), Fasting by the day and standing (for Salat) at night, until his eyebrows fall upon his eyes, and his bones wilt drying up, (and) is ignorant of ourasws rights, there would not be any Reward for him’’.³⁴⁹

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazza;, from Ali Bin Uqba Bin Khalid, from Muyasser who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws, and with himasws in the tent were around fifty men. Heasws said after a prolonged silence from us: ‘What is the matter with you all? You are viewing that Iasws am a Prophetas of Allahazwj. Iasws am not like that, but for me there is a relationship from Rasool-Allahsaww and birth. So, the one who connects with usasws, Allahazwj would Connect with him, and one who loves usasws Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Love him, and one who deprives usasws Allahazwj would Deprive him.

أَ فَتَدْرُونَ أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْزِلَةً فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا فَكَانَ هُوَ الرَّادَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ مَكَّةُ الْحَرَامُ الَّتِي رَضِيَهَا اللَّهُ‏ لِنَفْسِهِ حَرَماً وَ جَعَلَ بَيْتَهُ فِيهَا

Do you know which spot is of the most superior status in the Presence of Allahazwj?’ But no one from us spoke. Heasws became the responder to himselfasws. Heasws said: ‘Makkah the Sacred which Allahazwj is Pleased with for Himselfazwj as a Sanctuary and Made Hisazwj Prophetsaww to be in it’.

Then heasws said: ‘Do you know which of the spots is of the most superior sanctity in the Presence of Allahazwj?’ But no one from us spoke, and heasws became the responder to himselfasws. Heasws said: ‘That is the Sacred Masjid’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرُونَ أَيُّ بُقْعَةٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ أَفْضَلُ‏ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُرْمَةً فَلَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا فَكَانَ هُوَ الرَّادَّ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ ذَاكَ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ‏ وَ بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ حَطِيمُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ع ذَاكَ الَّذِي كَانَ يُزَوِّدُ فِيهِ غُنَيْمَاتِهِ وَ يُصَلِّي فِيهِ

Then heasws said: ‘Do you know which spot in the Sacred Masjid is of the most superior sanctity in the Presence of Allahazwj?’ But no one from us spoke, and heasws became the responder to himselfasws. Heasws said: ‘That is between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahimas), and the door of the Kabah, and that is the stone of Ismail, that is the one in which heas used to provide hisas sheep, and prayed Salat in it.

وَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً صَفَّ قَدَمَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانِ قَامَ‏ اللَّيْلَ مُصَلِّياً حَتَّى يَجِيئَهُ النَّهَارُ وَ صَامَ‏ النَّهَارَ حَتَّى يَجِيئَهُ اللَّيْلُ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ حَقَّنَا وَ حُرْمَتَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَمْ يَقْبَلِ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً أَبَداً.

And by Allahazwj! If a servant were to affirm his feet in that place, standing at night praying Salat until the day comes to him, and Fasting the day until the night comes to him, and does not recognise ourasws right and ourasws sanctity of Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would not Accept anything from him, ever!’’

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Al Husayn Bin Saeed, by his chain,

‘From himasws – similar to it, and there is an addition in its end: ‘Indeed! Ourasws fatheras Ibrahimas, Friend of Allahazwj, was from the one who had stipulated conditions upon hisas Lordazwj. Heas said: ‘Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37]. Heas did not mean the people, all of them. You (Shias) are hisas friends, may Allahazwj have Mercy on you, and your peers, and rather your example among the people is like an example of the black hair in the white bull, and an example of the white hair in the black bull.

يَنْبَغِي‏ لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَحُجُّوا هَذَا الْبَيْتَ وَ يُعَظِّمُونَا لِتَعْظِيمِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنْ تَلْقَوْنَا حَيْثُ كُنَّا نَحْنُ الْأَدِلَّاءُ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى‏.

It is befitting for the people that they should be performing the Hajj of this House, and revere usasws for the reverence of Allahazwj, and that they should meet usasws wherever weasws mighty be. Weasws are the guides to Allahazwj the Exalted’’.³⁵⁰

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – My father, from Muhammad Al Attar, from Al Ashary, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from his father, from Muyasser Baya Al Zuty who said,

‘I entered to see Abu Abdullahasws and said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! There is a neighbour of mine, I do not pay attention except to his voice. Either he recites his book, repeating it, and crying, and beseeching, or he supplicates. I asked about him secretly and openly and it was said to me he shuns the entirety of the Prohibitions’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا مُيَسِّرُ يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً مِمَّا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Heasws said: ‘O Muyasser! Does he recognise anything from what you are upon?’ I said, ‘Allahazwj is more Knowing’.

قَالَ فَحَجَجْتُ مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ لَا يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذَا الْأَمْرِ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِخَبَرِ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ لِي مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ فِي الْعَامِ الْمَاضِي يَعْرِفُ شَيْئاً مِمَّا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ لَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘I performed Hajj the next year and asked about the man, and found that he does not recognise anything from this matter (Wilayah). I entered to see Abu Abdullahasws and informed himasws with the news of the man. Heasws said to me similar to what heasws had said in the past year: ‘Does he recognise anything from what you are upon?’ I said, ‘No’.

قَالَ يَا مُيَسِّرُ أَيُّ الْبِقَاعِ أَعْظَمُ حُرْمَةً قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ ابْنُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْلَمُ‏ قَالَ يَا مُيَسِّرُ مَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ مَا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ رَوْضَةٌ مِنْ رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ

Heasws said: ‘O Muyasser! Which of the spots is of the greatest sanctity?’ I said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and sonasws of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww are more knowing’. Heasws said: ‘O Muyasser, (it is) what is between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahimas), being a garden from the Gardens of the Paradise, and what is between the grave and the pulpit (of Rasool-Allahsaww) being a garden from the gardens of the Paradise.

وَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَمَّرَهُ اللَّهُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ وَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ يَعْبُدُهُ أَلْفَ عَامٍ ثُمَّ ذُبِحَ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ مَظْلُوماً كَمَا يُذْبَحُ الْكَبْشُ الْأَمْلَحُ ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِغَيْرِ وَلَايَتِنَا لَكَانَ حَقِيقاً عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُكِبَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ‏.

And if a servant were to be Granted by Allahazwj a life, spending between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahimas), and in what is between the grave and the pulpit (of Rasool-Allahsaww), worshipping Himazwj for a thousand years, then he is slaughtered upon his bed as oppressed just as the black and white ram gets slaughtered, then he meets Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic without ourasws Wilayah, there would be a right upon Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic that Heazwj Flings him upon his nostrils into the Fire of Hell’’.³⁵²

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Musa Bin Imranas passed by a man raising his hands towards the sky supplication. Musaas went on regarding hisas need, and was absent from him for seven days. Then heas returned to him, and he was still raising his hands and beseeching and asking hisas need.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to himas: “O Musaas! Even if he were to supplicate to Meazwj until his tongue gets cut, Iazwj will not Answer to him until he comes to Meazwj from the door which Iazwj have Commanded him to!”’³⁵³

‘I performed a Hajj with Abu Abdullahasws, when we were in one of the roads, heasws climbed on the mountain and surveyed and looked at the people. Heasws said: ‘There is more noise than there are pilgrims. Dawood Al-Raqy said to himasws: ‘O son of Rasool-Allahsaww, will Allahazwj Answer the supplication of this gathering which I see?’

Heasws said: ‘Woe be unto you O Abu Suleiman. Allahazwj does not Forgive the ones who associated partners with Himazwj. The opponent of the Wilayah of Aliasws is like an idol worshipper’.

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, are youasws recognising the ones who love youasws and those who hate youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘Woe be unto you, O Abu Suleiman. There is no servant who is born, but it is written between his eyes ‘Momin’, or ‘Kafir’. The man, weasws let him come to usasws with ourasws Wilayah and keep away from ourasws enemies, for weasws see the writing between his eyes ‘Momin’, or ‘Kafir’, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said regarding that: Surely, in that are Signs for the distinguishers [15:75].

‘I was performing Tawaaf with Abu Abdullahasws and heasws was leaning upon me, when heasws said: ‘O Umar! How much is the multitude!’ – meaning the people. I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for youasws! Heasws said: ‘But, by Allahazwj! No one performs Hajj apart from you (Shias), nor will anyone be Given the Recompense twice apart from you (Shias). By Allahazwj! You are shepherds of the sun and the moon (monitoring the timings of Salat), and by Allahazwj you are the people of the Religion of Allahazwj. From you Heazwj will Accept, and for you Heazwj will Forgive’’.³⁶⁰

What is yourasws view of the one who Fasts, and prays (Salat), and shuns the Prohibitions, and his devoutness is good, from the ones who do neither recognise (Wilayah) nor are hostile?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj would Enter them into the Paradise by Hisazwj Mercy’’.³⁶¹

Heasws said: ‘And which one is it?’ I said, ‘The Words of Allahazwj [5:27] But rather, Allah only Accepts from those who are pious’. Heasws said: ‘And which thing places you in doubt?’ I said, ‘The one who Prays Salat, and Fasts, and worships Allahazwj, it would be Accepted from him?’ Heasws said: ‘But rather, Allahazwj will (only) Accept from ‘المتقين’ the pious, ‘العارفين’ the recognisers’.

Then heasws said: ‘Are you more ascetic in the world or Al-Zahaak Bin Qays?’ I said, ‘But, it is Al-Zahaak Bin Qays’. Heasws said: ‘Then if that is so, Allahazwj will not Accept anything from him, from what you have mentioned’’.³⁶⁷

Heasws said: ‘Which of its ‘effort’ is of the greatest sanctity?’ There was no one from us who answered himasws, until heasws became the responder to himselfasws. Heasws said: ‘(It is) between the corner (of the Kabah) to the (Black) Stone. By Allahazwj! If a servant were to worship Allahazwj for a thousand years until his neck nerves break due to weakness of old age, then he comes to Allahazwj with ourasws anger (on him), Allahazwj would Reject his deeds to him’’.³⁶⁹

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) – Al-Sadiqasws: ‘And of the regret greater than this would be a man who had amassed great wealth by intense toiling, and forthright horrors, and being exposed to the dangers. Then he spent his wealth in the (giving of) charities and the (doing of) righteous deeds, and spent his youth and his strength in worship and prayers, and he, along with (all) that, did not view any rights as being for Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, nor did he recognise for himasws as having any place in Al-Islam, and he Viewed that the one who is not even a tenth of himasws, and not even a tenth of a tenth of a hundred of himasws, superior than himasws.

يُوَاقِفُ عَلَى الْحُجَجِ‏ فَلَا يَتَأَمَّلُهَا وَ يَحْتَجُّ عَلَيْهَا بِالْآيَاتِ وَ الْأَخْبَارِ فَيَأْبَى إِلَّا تَمَادِياً فِي غَيِّهِ فَذَاكَ أَعْظَمُ حَسْرَةً مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ يَأْتِي‏ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ صَدَقَاتُهُ مُمَثَّلَةٌ لَهُ فِي مِثَالِ الْأَفَاعِي تَنْهَشُهُ وَ صَلَوَاتُهُ وَ عِبَادَاتُهُ مُمَثَّلَةٌ لَهُ فِي مِثَالِ‏ الزَّبَانِيَةِ تَتْبَعُهُ‏ حَتَّى تَدُعَّهُ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ

He stops at the arguments and he does not contemplate, but it is argued against him (his beliefs) with the (Quranic) Verses and the Ahadeeth, but he refuses except to go further into error. So that is the one who would be of greater regret than every regret on the Day of Judgment, and his charities would be resembled for him as snakes ravaging him, and his Salats and his (acts of) worship would be resembled for him in a resemblance of the Zabaniyya (Angels of Hell), repelling him until he is led into Hell.

دَعّاً يَقُولُ يَا وَيْلِي أَ لَمْ أَكُ مِنَ الْمُصَلِّينَ أَ لَمْ أَكُ مِنَ الْمُزَكِّينَ أَ لَمْ أَكُ عَنْ أَمْوَالِ النَّاسِ وَ نِسَائِهِمْ مِنَ الْمُتَعَفِّفِينَ

He would call out saying, ‘O woe is for me! Why was I not from the praying ones! Why was I not from the givers of Zakat? Why was I not chaste from the wealth of the people and their women from the chaste ones?’

فَلِمَا ذَا دُهِيتُ بِمَا دُهِيتُ‏ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ يَا شَقِيُّ مَا نَفَعَكَ مَا عَمِلْتَ‏ وَ قَدْ ضَيَّعْتَ أَعْظَمَ الْفُرُوضِ بَعْدَ تَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ بِنُبُوَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ‏ اللَّهِ ص ضَيَّعْتَ مَا لَزِمَكَ مِنْ مَعْرِفَةِ حَقِّ عَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ الْتَزَمْتَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ‏ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ الِايتِمَامِ بِعَدُوِّ اللَّهِ

So when he calls out with what he calls out with, it would be said to him, ‘O wretch! It will not benefit you what (deeds) you performed, and you have wasted the great Obligation after the Tawheed of Allahazwj the Exalted, and the Eman with the Prophet-hood of Muhammadsaww, Rasool-Allahsaww. You wasted what was Necessitated to you the recognition of the right of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, Guardian of Allahazwj, and you necessitated upon yourself what Allahazwj Prohibited upon you from the taking to the imamate of the enemies of Allahazwj.

فَلَوْ كَانَ لَكَ بَدَلَ أَعْمَالِكَ هَذِهِ عِبَادَةُ الدَّهْرِ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَ بَدَلَ صَدَقَاتِكَ الصَّدَقَةُ بِكُلِّ أَمْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا بَلْ بِمِلْ‏ءِ الْأَرْضِ ذَهَباً لَمَا زَادَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بُعْداً وَ مِنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا قُرْباً.

So, even if there was for you a change of these deeds of yours (increased to), the worship of the eternity, from its beginning to its end, and your charities to be changed to the charity with all the wealth of the world, but the earth filled with gold, that would not increase you from the Mercy of Allahazwj the Exalted except for remoteness, and from the Wrath of Allahazwj except for the nearness (to Wrath)’’.³⁷⁰

46- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ أَدَّى الزَّكَاةَ إِلَى مُسْتَحِقِّهَا وَ قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى حُدُودِهَا وَ لَمْ يُلْحِقْ بِهِمَا مِنَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ مَا يُبْطِلُهُمَا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَغْبِطُهُ كُلُّ مَنْ فِي تِلْكَ الْعَرَصَاتِ حَتَّى يَرْفَعَهُ نَسِيمُ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَى أَعْلَى غُرَفِهَا وَ عَلَالِيهَا بِحَضْرَةِ مَنْ كَانَ يُوَالِيهِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) - Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The one who gives the Zakat to a deserving one, and fulfils the Salat upon its limits, and does not, along with these two, indulge in the grievous sins what would invalidate these, would come on the Day of Judgment envied by everyone in those plains, to the extent that the breeze of the Paradise would raise him up to its highest of its levels and lofty places to be in the presence of the ones whom he used to befriend, from Muhammadsaww and hissaww goodly Progenyasws.

وَ مَنْ بَخِلَ بِزَكَاتِهِ وَ أَدَّى صَلَاتَهُ فَصَلَاتُهُ‏ مَحْبُوسَةٌ دُوَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى أَنْ يَجِي‏ءَ حِينُ زَكَاتِهِ فَإِنْ أَدَّاهَا جُعِلَتْ كَأَحْسَنِ الْأَفْرَاسِ مَطِيَّةً لِصَلَاتِهِ فَحَمَلَتْهَا إِلَى سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ سِرْ إِلَى الْجِنَانِ فَارْكُضْ فِيهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَا انْتَهَى إِلَيْهِ رَكْضُكَ فَهُوَ كُلُّهُ بِسَائِرِ مَا تَمَسُّهُ لِبَاعِثِكَ

And the one who is stingy with his Zakat and (but) performs his Salat, then his Salat would be withheld below the sky until his Zakat comes. So if he pays it, it is made like the best of the horses obedient to his Salat, and it carries it to the base of the Throne. So Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: “Go to the Gardens and run therein up to the Day of Judgment, and whatever you end up to, so all of it, along with whatever you touch (its left and its right) would be for you”.

فَيَرْكُضُ فِيهَا عَلَى أَنَّ كُلَّ رَكْضَةٍ مَسِيرَةُ سَنَةٍ فِي قَدْرِ لَمْحَةِ بَصَرِهِ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَى حَيْثُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ‏ كُلُّهُ لَهُ وَ مِثْلُهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ شِمَالِهِ وَ أَمَامِهِ وَ خَلْفِهِ وَ فَوْقِهِ وَ تَحْتِهِ

So it runs therein and every runs of it, travel distance of a year, in a measurement of the blink of an eye from its day up to the Day of Judgment, until it ends up to whatever Allahazwj the Exalted so Desires, and all of that would happen to be for him, and the like of it from his right and his left, and his front and his behind, and above him and below him.

فَإِنْ‏ بَخِلَ بِزَكَاتِهِ وَ لَمْ يُؤَدِّهَا أُمِرَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَرُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِ وَ لُفَّتْ كَمَا يُلَفُّ الثَّوْبُ الْخَلَقُ ثُمَّ يُضْرَبُ بِهَا وَجْهُهُ وَ يُقَالُ لَهُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهَذَا دُونَ هَذَا

And if he is stingy with his Zakat and does not pay it, it is Commanded with the Salat for its return to him, and it is folded just like the folding of the clothes of the people, and then his face its struck with it, and it is said to him, ‘O Servant of Allahazwj! What it to be done with (Salat) this without this (Zakat)!’

قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَا أَسْوَأَ حَالَ هَذَا وَ اللَّهِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ وَ لَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَسْوَأَ حَالًا مِنْ هَذَا قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Heasws said: ‘So the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘How evil is the state of this one, by Allahazwj!’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Or shall Isaww inform you with the one who is of a state eviler than this one?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’

قَالَ رَجُلٌ حَضَرَ الْجِهَادَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَقُتِلَ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ وَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ يَطَّلِعْنَ إِلَيْهِ وَ خُزَّانُ الْجِنَانِ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ وُرُودَ رُوحِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أَمْلَاكُ الْأَرْضِ‏ يَتَطَلَّعُونَ نُزُولَ حُورِ الْعِينِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ خُزَّانِ الْجِنَانِ فَلَا يَأْتُونَهُ‏

Hesaww said: ‘A man who attends the Jihad in the Way of Allahazwj the Exalted, so he fights facing (the enemy) without turning back, and the maiden Houries are aspiring to him, and the keepers of the Gardens are aspiring to the return of his soul to them, and the Angels of the sky and the Angels of the earth are aspiring at the descent of the maiden Houries to him, and the Angels (who are the) keepers of the Gardens are not coming to him.

فَتَقُولُ مَلَائِكَةُ الْأَرْضِ حَوَالَيْ‏ ذَلِكَ الْمَقْتُولِ مَا بَالُ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ لَا يَنْزِلْنَ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَا بَالُ خُزَّانِ الْجِنَانِ لَا يَرِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فَيُنَادَوْنَ مِنْ فَوْقِ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ يَا أَيَّتُهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ انْظُرُوا إِلَى آفَاقِ السَّمَاءِ وَ دُوَيْنِهَا

The Angels of the earth surrounding that killed one are saying, ‘What is the matter the maiden Houries are not descending to him, and what is the matter treasurers of the Gardens are not descending to him?’ They are calling out from above the seventh sky, ‘O you Angels! Look the horizons of the sky and below it!’

فَيَنْظُرُونَ فَإِذَا تَوْحِيدُ هَذَا الْعَبْدِ وَ إِيمَانُهُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ صَلَاتُهُ وَ زَكَاتُهُ وَ صَدَقَتُهُ وَ أَعْمَالُ بِرِّهِ كُلُّهَا مَحْبُوسَاتٌ دُوَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ قَدْ طُبِّقَتْ آفَاقُ السَّمَاءِ كُلُّهَا كَالْقَافِلَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ قَدْ مَلَأَتْ مَا بَيْنَ أَقْصَى الْمَشَارِقِ وَ الْمَغَارِبِ وَ مَهَابِّ الشَّمَالِ وَ الْجَنُوبِ تُنَادِي أَمْلَاكُ تِلْكَ الْأَثْقَالِ‏ الْحَامِلُونَ لَهَا الْوَارِدُونَ بِهَا مَا بَالُنَا لَا تُفَتَّحُ لَنَا أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ لِنَدْخُلَ إِلَيْهَا بِأَعْمَالِ هَذَا الشَّهِيدِ

So they are looking, and the Tawheed of this servant, the killed one, and his Eman with Rasool-Allahsaww, and his Salat, and his Zakat, and his charities, and his righteous deeds, all of them are being withheld below the sky and the horizons of the sky have snapped shut, all of them – like the great caravan which is filled with what is between the outskirts of the east and the west, and the objects of the north and the south – the Angels (carrying) those deeds, the one bring these over are calling out, ‘What is the matter the gateways of the sky are not opening up for us, in order for us to enter through these with the deeds of this martyr?’

فَيَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ بِفَتْحِ أَبْوَابِ السَّمَاءِ فَتُفْتَحُ ثُمَّ يُنَادِي يَا هَؤُلَاءِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَدْخِلُوهَا إِنْ قَدَرْتُمْ فَلَا تُقِلُّهُمْ‏ أَجْنِحَتُهُمْ وَ لَا يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى الِارْتِفَاعِ بِتِلْكَ الْأَعْمَالِ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبَّنَا لَا نَقْدِرُ عَلَى الِارْتِفَاعِ بِهَذِهِ الْأَعْمَالِ

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Commands with the opening of the gateways of the sky, and they are open. Then it is called out to these Angels, ‘Enter if you are able to’. But their wings are not taking them nor are they able upon rising with those deeds. They are saying, ‘O our Lordazwj! We are unable upon rising with these deeds!’

فَيُنَادِيهِمْ‏ مُنَادِي رَبِّنَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ لَسْتُمْ حُمَّالَ هَذِهِ الْأَثْقَالِ‏ الصَّاعِدِينَ بِهَا إِنَّ حَمَلَتَهَا الصَّاعِدِينَ بِهَا مَطَايَاهَا الَّتِي تَرْفَعُهَا إِلَى دُوَيْنِ الْعَرْشِ ثُمَّ تُقِرُّهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِ الْجِنَانَ

So a caller of our Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic calls out to them, ‘O you Angels! You aren’t the carriers of these loads, the ascenders with these. The ascenders with these are their runners who would raise these to the base of the Throne, then settle these in levels of the Gardens’.

فَيَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا رَبَّنَا مَا مَطَايَاهَا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ مَا الَّذِي حَمَلْتُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَيَقُولُونَ تَوْحِيدَهُ لَكَ‏ وَ إِيمَانَهُ بِنَبِيِّكَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَمَطَايَاهَا مُوَالاةُ عَلِيٍّ أَخِي نَبِيِّي وَ مُوَالاةُ الْأَئِمَّةِ الطَّاهِرِينَ فَإِنْ أَتَتْ‏ فَهِيَ الْحَامِلَةُ الرَّافِعَةُ الْوَاضِعَةُ لَهَا فِي الْجِنَانِ

The Angels are saying, ‘O our Lordazwj! What are their runners?’ So Allahazwj the Exalted is Saying: “And what is which you are carrying from him?’ They are saying, ‘His (belief in) Tawheed for Youazwj and his Eman with Yourazwj Prophetsaww’. Allahazwj the Exalted is Saying: “So its runner is the Wilayah of the brotherasws of Myazwj Prophetsaww, and the Wilayah of the Imamsasws, the clean. Thus, if it comes, then it would be the carrier, the lifter, the placer of these in the Gardens”.

فَيَنْظُرُونَ فَإِذَا الرَّجُلُ مَعَ مَا لَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ لَيْسَ لَهُ مُوَالاةُ عَلِيٍّ وَ الطَّيِّبِينَ مِنْ آلِهِ وَ مُعَادَاةُ أَعْدَائِهِمْ

So they look around at the man with whom are these things, but there isn’t for him the Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the goodly ones from hisasws Progenyasws, and the enmity of hisasws enemies.

فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِلْأَمْلَاكِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا حَامِلِيهَا اعْتَزِلُوهَا وَ أَلْحِقُوا بِمَرَاكِزِكُمْ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِي لِيَأْتِيَهَا مَنْ هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِحَمْلِهَا وَ وَضْعِهَا فِي مَوْضِعِ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا فَتُلْحَقُ تِلْكَ الْأَمْلَاكُ بِمَرَاكِزِهَا الْمَجْعُولَةِ لَهَا

Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted is Saying to the Angels who were the carriers: “Isolate these, and join up with your positions from Myazwj Kingdom so that he would bring these, the one who is more rightful with carrying these and placing these in a rightful place!”’ So those Angels join up with their positions made for these.

ثُمَّ يُنَادِي مُنَادِي رَبِّنَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا أَيَّتُهَا الزَّبَانِيَةُ تَنَاوَلِيهَا وَ حُطِّيهَا إِلى‏ سَواءِ الْجَحِيمِ‏ لِأَنَّ صَاحِبَهَا لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهَا مَطَايَا مِنْ مُوَالاةِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ الطَّيِّبِينَ مِنْ آلِهِ

Then a caller of our Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic calls out, ‘O you Zabaniyya (Angels of Hell)! Grab these and place these in the midst of the Blazing Fire, because their owner did not make a runner to be for these – from the Wilayah of Aliasws and the goodly ones from hisasws Progenyasws!

قَالَ‏ فَتُنَادِي‏ تِلْكَ الْأَمْلَاكُ وَ يُقَلِّبُ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الْأَثْقَالَ أَوْزَاراً وَ بَلَايَا عَلَى بَاعِثِهَا لِمَا فَارَقَهَا عَنْ مَطَايَاهَا مِنْ مُوَالاةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘So those Angels would grab (those deeds) and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Transform those loads as burdens (of sins) and afflictions upon its urging due to their separation of their runner – from the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws.

وَ نَادَتْ تِلْكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِلَى مُخَالَفَتِهِ لِعَلِيٍّ ع وَ مُوَالاتِهِ لِأَعْدَائِهِ فَيُسَلِّطُهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ هِيَ فِي صُورَةِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْأَعْمَالِ وَ هِيَ كَالْغِرْبَانِ وَ الْقِرْقِسِ‏ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ تِلْكَ الْأَسْوَدِ نِيرَانٌ تُحْرِقُهَا وَ لَا يَبْقَى‏ لَهُ عَمَلٌ إِلَّا أَحْبَطَ وَ يَبْقَى عَلَيْهِ مُوَالاتُهُ لِأَعْدَاءِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ جَحَدَةِ وَلَايَتِهِ فَيُقِرُّ ذَلِكَ فِي سَوَاءِ الْجَحِيمِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ حَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُ وَ عَظُمَتْ أَوْزَارُهُ وَ أَثْقَالُهُ

And those Angels (of Hell) would call out to his opposition to Aliasws and his friendship to hisasws enemies, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Cause these to be overcome by an image of a black snake upon those deeds, and it would be like the crows and the insects. Flames would come out from the mouth of that black snake incinerating these, and there would not remain a (single) deed for him except it would be thwarted, and there would remain upon him his wilayah to the enemies of Aliasws and his rejection of hisasws Wilayah. He would admit that in the midst of the Blazing Fire, and his deeds would have been thwarted, and his burden would be greater and heavier.

فَهَذَا أَسْوَأُ حَالًا مِنْ مَانِعِ الزَّكَاةِ الَّذِي يَحْفَظُ الصَّلَاةَ.

This is the one of a state eviler than the preventer of the Zakat who preserved the Salat’’.³⁷¹

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Yusuf Bin Sabit,

From Abu Abdullahasws having said when they came up to him and said, ‘But rather, we love youasws due to yourasws nearness to the Rasool-Allahsaww, and for what Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Obligated from yourasws rights. We do not love youasws for the sake of the world for getting a share of it from youasws. But (we love youasws) only for the Sake of Allahazwj and the House of the Hereafter and that the man from among us would be able to correct his Religion’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع صَدَقْتُمْ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا جَاءَ مَعَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ هَكَذَا ثُمَّ جَمَعَ بَيْنَ السَّبَّابَتَيْنِ وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا صَامَ النَّهَارَ وَ قَامَ اللَّيْلَ ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ بِغَيْرِ وَلَايَتِنَا لَلَقِيَهُ وَ هُوَ غَيْرُ رَاضٍ أَوْ سَاخِطٌ عَلَيْهِ

Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘You have spoken the truth, you have spoken the truth’. Then heasws said: ‘The one who loves usasws is as if he is with usasws, or will come with usasws on the Day of Judgement like this’ – then heasws joined the two forefingers, then said – ‘By Allahazwj! If the man were to Fast during the day, and stand up (for Salat) during the night, then meets Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic without ourasws Wilayah, (of the Peopleasws of the Household) then he would be facing Himazwj (in such that) Allahazwj would either be Unhappy with him or Angry against him’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ‏ وَ ما مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ تُقْبَلَ مِنْهُمْ نَفَقاتُهُمْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُمْ كَفَرُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ وَ هُمْ كافِرُونَ‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ كَذَلِكَ الْإِيمَانُ لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَهُ عَمَلٌ كَمَا أَنَّ الْكُفْرَ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَعَهُ عَمَلٌ‏.

Then heasws said: ‘And these are the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic: And nothing prevents from their spending being Accepted from them except they are committing Kufr with Allah and His Rasool, [9:54] – up to Hisazwj Words: while they are Kafirs [9:55]. Then heasws said: ‘And like is the Eman, the deed does not harm (when) with it, and similar to that is the Kufr, the deed does not benefit (when) with it’’.³⁷²

(The book) ‘Al Majalis of Al Mufeed – Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Al Zubeyr, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Bin Fazzal, from Ibn Asbat, from Muhammad Bin Yahya brother of Mugallis, form Al Ala’a, from Muhammad,

‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imamasws), he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘We see the man from the adversaries against youasws, for him is worship, and struggle, and humbleness, so will that benefit him of anything?’

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مَثَلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ كَانُوا فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ كَانَ لَا يَجْتَهِدُ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً إِلَّا دَعَا فَأُجِيبَ‏ وَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمُ اجْتَهَدَ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً ثُمَّ دَعَا فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لَهُ

Heasws said: ‘O Muhammad! But rather, ourasws example, of People of the Household, is an example of the people of the household who were among the children of Israel, and not one of them struggled for forty nights except he supplicated and it would (normally) be Answered for him, and that a man from them strived for forty nights, then he supplicated, but it was not Answered for him.

فَأَتَى عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ ع يَشْكُو إِلَيْهِ مَا هُوَ فِيهِ وَ يَسْأَلُهُ الدُّعَاءَ لَهُ فَتَطَهَّرَ عِيسَى وَ صَلَّى ثُمَّ دَعَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَا عِيسَى إِنَّ عَبْدِي أَتَانِي مِنْ غَيْرِ الْبَابِ الَّذِي أُوتَى مِنْهُ إِنَّهُ دَعَانِي وَ فِي قَلْبِهِ شَكٌّ مِنْكَ فَلَوْ دَعَانِي حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ عُنُقُهُ وَ تَنْتَشِرَ أَنَامِلُهُ مَا اسْتَجَبْتُ لَهُ

He came to Isaas Ibn Maryamas complaining to himas of what predicament he was in, and asked himsaww to supplicate. So, Isaas cleaned and prayed Salat, then supplicated. Allahazwj Revealed to himas: “O Isaas! Myazwj servant came to be from other than the door which Iazwj can be accessed from. He supplicated to me and there was doubt in his heart. Even if he were to supplicate to Meazwj until his neck is cut, and his hopes are shattered, Iazwj will not Answer to him!”

فَالْتَفَتَ عِيسَى ع‏ فَقَالَ تَدْعُو رَبَّكَ وَ فِي قَلْبِكَ شَكٌّ مِنْ نَبِيِّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رُوحَ اللَّهِ وَ كَلِمَتَهُ قَدْ كَانَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا قُلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ بِهِ عَنِّي فَدَعَا لَهُ عِيسَى ع فَتَقَبَّلَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَ صَارَ فِي حَدِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ‏ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ عَمَلَ عَبْدٍ وَ هُوَ يَشُكُّ فِينَا.

Isaas turned and said (to him): ‘You are supplicating to your Lordazwj and there is doubt in your heart of Hisazwj Prophetas?’ He said, ‘O Spirit of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Word! It has been that, by Allahazwj, what youas are saying, so ask Allahazwj to remove it from me’. Isaas supplicated for him, and Allahazwj Accepted from him and came to be in a limit of hisas family. Like that, weasws are the Peopleasws of the Household. Allahazwj will not Accept a deed of a servant while he is doubting regarding usasws’’.³⁷³

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Ghumma’ –

Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said: ‘Certain sects from this community have arrogated after their separation, to be imams of the religion, and the tree of Prophet-hood, sincere faith, and they have taken themselves in the thinking of the priest-hood, and they are rising above the knowledge(s), and are describing the Eman with the best of their description, and they are resolving the best of the Sunnah(s), until when the period is prolonged upon them and difficulty is remote upon them, and they are tested with the tests of the truthful ones, they return upon their heels, breaking away from the way of guidance and the flag of salvation, they disintegrate beneath the burdens of religion, the disintegration of the camel droppings beneath the autumn leaves.

وَ لَا تُحْرِزُ السَّبَقَ الرَّوَايَا وَ إِنْ جَرَتْ‏

وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ الْغَايَاتِ إِلَّا سَبُوقُهَا

(Prosed) And do not protect the previous report and even if it flows, nor deliver the ends except its precedence.

وَ ذَهَبَ الْآخَرُونَ إِلَى التَّقْصِيرِ فِي أَمْرِنَا وَ احْتَجُّوا بِمُتَشَابِهِ الْقُرْآنِ فَتَأَوَّلُوا بِآرَائِهِمْ وَ اتَّهَمُوا مَأْثُورَ الْخَبَرِ مِمَّا اسْتَحْسَنُوا يَقْتَحِمُونَ فِي أَغْمَارِ الشُّبُهَاتِ وَ دَيَاجِيرِ الظُّلُمَاتِ بِغَيْرِ قَبَسِ نُورٍ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ وَ لَا أَثَرَةِ عِلْمٍ مِنْ مَظَانِّ الْعِلْمِ بِتَحْذِيرٍ مُثَبِّطِينَ‏

And the others went to the reducing regarding ourasws matters and they argued by the allegorical of the Quran, and they interpreted by their opinions, and they slandered the effects of the Ahadeeth as they liked breaking into the depths of the suspicions and bottom of the darkness(es) without attaining any Noor (light) from the Book nor any knowledge from the Hadeeth of knowledge from the manifestations of the knowledge, discouraging warnings.

زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمْ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ مِنْ غَيِّهِمْ وَ إِلَى مَنْ يَفْزَعُ خَلَفُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ قَدْ دَرَسَتْ أَعْلَامُ الْمِلَّةِ وَ دَانَتِ الْأُمَّةُ بِالْفُرْقَةِ وَ الِاخْتِلَافِ يُكَفِّرُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ‏ وَ لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ تَفَرَّقُوا وَ اخْتَلَفُوا مِنْ بَعْدِ ما جاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّناتُ

They claimed that they were upon the rightful guidance from their errors, and behind whom could this community panic to, and they had learnt the flags of the Religion, and the community made it a religion with the sects and the differing(s), deeming each other as Kafirs, and Allahazwj the Exalted is Saying: And do not become like those who disunited and differed from after the clear proofs having come to them, and they, for them is a painful Punishment [3:105].

فَمَنِ الْمَوْثُوقُ بِهِ عَلَى إِبْلَاغِ الْحُجَّةِ وَ تَأْوِيلِ الْحِكْمَةِ إِلَّا أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ وَ أَبْنَاءُ أَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى وَ مَصَابِيحُ الدُّجَى الَّذِينَ احْتَجَّ اللَّهُ بِهِمْ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ لَمْ يَدَعِ الْخَلْقَ سُدًى مِنْ غَيْرِ حُجَّةٍ

So, who are the ones trusted with upon delivering the proof, and the wise interpretation except the people of the Book and sons of the Imamsasws of guidance, and lamps for the darkness, those Allahazwj Argued by themasws against Hisazwj servants? And Heazwj did not Leave the creatures in vain without any proof.

هَلْ تَعْرِفُونَهُمْ أَوْ تَجِدُونَهُمْ إِلَّا مِنْ فُرُوعِ الشَّجَرَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ وَ بَقَايَا الصَّفْوَةِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ‏ تَطْهِيراً وَ بَرَّأَهُمْ مِنَ الْآفَاتِ وَ افْتَرَضَ مَوَدَّتَهُمْ فِي الْكِتَابِ‏

Do you recognise themasws, or do you find themasws except from the branches of the Blessed tree, and the elite remaining ones, those Allahazwj Kept Away the uncleanness from themasws and Purified themasws with a Purification, and Cleared themasws from the pests, and Obligated theirasws cordiality in the Book?

هُمُ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى وَ هُمْ مَعْدِنُ التُّقَى‏

وَ خَيْرُ جِبَالِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ نِيقِهَا.

(Prosed): ‘They are the firmest handhold, and theyasws are the mine of piety, and the best of the mountains of the worlds, and their elegance’’.³⁷⁷

53- وَ مِنْ مَنَاقِبِ الْخُوارَزْمِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ مِثْلَ مَا قَامَ نُوحٌ فِي قَوْمِهِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ ذَهَباً فَأَنْفَقَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ مُدَّ فِي عُمُرِهِ حَتَّى حَجَّ أَلْفَ عَامٍ عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ مَظْلُوماً ثُمَّ لَمْ يُوَالِكَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَمْ يَشَمَّ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهَا.

And from (the book) ‘Manaqib’ of Al-Khawarizmy’ –

‘From Aliasws, from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘O Aliasws! If a servant were to worship Allahazwj like what Noahas stayed among hisas people, and there was for him gold like (mount) Ohad and he spends it in the way of Allahazwj, and there is an extension in his life until he performs Hajj for a thousand years upon his feet, then is killed between Al-Safa and Al-Marwan, oppressed, then does not have yourasws Wilayah, O Aliasws, he will not even smell the aroma of the Paradise, and will not enter it’’.³⁷⁸

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said, ‘O Abu Al-Jaroud! Are you (Shias) not please that you are praying Salat and it gets Accepted from you, and you are Fasting and it gets Accepted from you, and you are performing Hajj and it gets Accepted from you?

وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَيُصَلِّي غَيْرُكُمْ فَمَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ وَ يَصُومُ غَيْرُكُمْ فَمَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ وَ يَحُجُّ غَيْرُكُمْ فَمَا يُقْبَلُ مِنْهُ‏.

By Allahazwj! let the one other than you pray Salat, but it would not be Accepted from him, and the one other than you is Fasting, but it would not be Accepted from him, and the one other than you is performing Hajj and it is not Accepted from him’’.³⁷⁹

And by this chain, from Zayd Bin Ja’far Bin Al Husayn Bin Haroun, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Hasany, from Muhammad bin Marwan, from Aamir Bin Kaseer, from Abu Al Jaroud,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws at Makkah, or at Mina, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! How numerous are the pilgrims!’ Heasws said: ‘How few are the pilgrims. Heazwj does not Forgive except for you and for your companions, nor will Heazwj Accepted except from you and from your companions’’.³⁸⁰

(The book) ‘Al Fazaail’ of Ibn Shazan, (and) the book ‘Al Rowza’ – By the chain raising it to Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator) having said,

‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws passed by a number of Quraysh in the Masjid, and they winked at each other upon himasws. Heasws entered to see Rasool-Allahsaww and complained of them to himsaww.

فَخَرَجَ ع وَ هُوَ مُغْضَبٌ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا ذُكِرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ آلُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَشْرَقَتْ وُجُوهُكُمْ وَ إِذَا ذُكِرَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَسَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَ عَبَسَتْ وُجُوهُكُمْ

Hesaww went out and hesaww was angry. Hesaww said to them: ‘O you people! What is the matter with you all! Whenever Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas are mentioned, your faces shine, and when Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws are mentioned, your hearts harden and your faces frown?

وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ عَمِلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَمَلَ سَبْعِينَ نَبِيّاً لَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ هَذَا أَخِي عَلِيّاً وَ وُلْدَهُ

By the Oneazwj in Whose Hand is mysaww soul! If one of you were to do the deeds of seventy Prophetsas, he would not enter the Paradise until he loves this brotherasws of minesaww Aliasws and hisasws sonsasws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع إِنَّ لِلَّهِ حَقّاً لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ إِنَّ لِي حَقّاً لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ لَهُ حَقٌّ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَا.

Then hesaww said: ‘There is a right of Allahazwj, none know it except Isaww and Aliasws, and for mesaww there is a right for mesaww, none know it except Allahazwj and Aliasws, and for himasws there is a right, none know it except Allahazwj and Isaww’’.³⁸¹

(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ –

‘It is reported by Al-Sadiqasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws passed by in the Masjid Al-Kufa and Qanbar was with himasws. Heasws saw a man standing praying Salat. He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I have not seen any man of more excellent Salat than this’.

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا قَنْبَرُ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَرَجُلٌ عَلَى يَقِينٍ مِنْ وَلَايَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّنْ لَهُ عِبَادَةُ أَلْفِ سَنَةٍ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ وَلَايَتَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘O Qanbar! By Allahazwj! For a man upon curtained of ourasws Wilayah of Peopleasws of the Household, is better than the one for who is the worship of a thousand years; and if a servant were to worship Allahazwj for a thousand years, Allahazwj will not Accept from him until he recognises ourasws Wilayah, of Peopleasws of the Household.

وَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَ جَاءَ بِعَمَلِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ سَبْعِينَ نَبِيّاً مَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ وَلَايَتَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ إِلَّا أَكَبَّهُ‏ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ‏.

And if a servant were to worship Allahazwj for a thousand years and comes with the deeds of seventy-two Prophetsas, Allahazwj will not Accept from him until he recognises ourasws Wilayah of Peopleasws of the Household, or else Allahazwj would Fling him upon his nostrils into the Fire of Hell’’.³⁸²

58- وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أُمَّتِي أُمَّتِي إِذَا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ بَعْدِي وَ صَارُوا فِرْقَةً فِرْقَةً فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي طَلَبِ الدِّينِ الْحَقِّ حَتَّى تَكُونُوا مَعَ أَهْلِ الْحَقِّ فَإِنَّ الْمَعْصِيَةَ فِي دِينِ الْحَقِّ تُغْفَرُ وَ الطَّاعَةَ فِي دِينِ الْبَاطِلِ لَا تُقْبَلُ‏.

And it is reported from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘Mysaww community! Mysaww community! When the people differ and become sects, sects, then struggle in seeking the Religion of truth until you happen to be with the people of truth, for the (act of) disobedience in the Religion of truth will be Forgiven, and the (act of) obedience in the Religion of Falsehood would not be Accepted’’.³⁸³

Tafseer Furat Bib Ibrahim – Al Husayn Bin Saeed transmitting from Sa’ad Bin Taref who said,

‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Ja’farasws, when Amro Bin Ubeyd came up and said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, the Words of Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted: and do not transgress in it, or My Wrath would be Released upon you. And the one My Wrath is Released upon, so he has perished [20:81] And I am Forgiving to the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then (follows) righteous Guidance [20:82]’.

قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع قَدْ أُخْبِرُكَ أَنَّ التَّوْبَةَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الْعَمَلَ الصَّالِحَ لَا يَقْبَلُهَا إِلَّا بِالاهْتِدَاءِ

Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘Iasws have already informed you that the repentance, and the belief, and the righteous deeds, Heazwj does not Accept these except with the righteous Guidance.

‏ أَمَّا التَّوْبَةُ فَمِنَ الشِّرْكِ بِاللَّهِ وَ أَمَّا الْإِيمَانُ فَهُوَ التَّوْحِيدُ لِلَّهِ وَ أَمَّا الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فَهُوَ أَدَاءُ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ أَمَّا الِاهْتِدَاءُ فَبِوُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ وَ نَحْنُ هُمْ فَإِنَّمَا عَلَى النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ فَإِذَا احْتَاجُوا إِلَى تَفْسِيرِهِ فَالاهْتِدَاءُ بِنَا وَ إِلَيْنَا يَا عَمْرُو.

As for the repentance, it is from association (Shirk) with Allahazwj, and as for the belief, it is the Tawheed of Allahazwj, and as for the righteous deeds it is fulfilment of the Obligations, and as for the righteous guidance, it is by the Masterasws of the command, and weasws are theyasws. But rather, it is upon the people that they recite the Quran just as it has been Revealed. Then when they become needy to its interpretation, then the guidance is by usasws, and to usasws, O Amro!’’³⁸⁵

Hera said, ‘Belief in whatever Muhammadsaww came with and doing righteous deeds, fulfilling the Obligations, then being guided to the love of Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww.

وَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَا يَنْفَعُ أَحَدَكُمُ الثَّلَاثَةُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ بِالرَّابِعَةِ فَمَنْ شَاءَ حَقَّقَهَا وَ مَنْ شَاءَ كَفَرَ بِهَا

And Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying: ‘By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth as a Prophetsaww! Not one of you would benefit with three until he comes with the fourth. So, the one who likes can ratify it and one likes can disbelieve in it.

Weasws are the places of guidance, and Imamsasws of devoutness, and through usasws the supplications are Answered and the afflictions are Repelled, and by usasws the rains descend from the sky, and besides usasws the tongues of the scholars would be tired, and weasws are the door of Hitta, and ship of Noahas, and weasws are the Side of Allahazwj which one who wasted regarding usasws would be with the regret and remorse on the Day of Qiyamah.

وَ نَحْنُ حَبْلُ اللَّهِ الْمَتِينُ الَّذِي مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ‏ هُدِيَ إِلى‏ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ‏ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مُحِبُّنَا مَنْفِيّاً مؤذيا [مُودِياً] مُنْفَرِداً مَضْرُوباً مَطْرُوداً مَكْذُوباً مَحْزُوناً بَاكِيَ الْعَيْنِ حَزِينَ الْقَلْبِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ وَ ذَلِكَ فِي اللَّهِ قَلِيلٌ.

And weasws are the strong rope of Allahazwj which one who holds Fast with it would be guided to the Straight Path; and one who loves usasws will not cease to be negated, harmed, alone, hit, expelled, belied, grieving, crying of the eyes, aggrieved of the heart, then he dies, and that for the Sake of Allahazwj, is little’’.³⁸⁷

‘Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws said regarding Words of the Exalted: O you those who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool, and do not invalidate your deeds [47:33]: ‘It means, when you obey Allahazwj and obey the Rasoolsaww what would invalidate your deed? (Having) ourasws enmity would invalidate your deeds’’.³⁸⁸

The book ‘Fazaail Al Shia’ of Al Sadouq, from Dawood Al Raqy who said,

‘I entered to see Abu Abdullahasws and said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! The Words of the Exalted: And I am Forgiving to the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then (follows) righteous Guidance [20:82]. So, what is this guidance after the repentance, and the belief, and the righteous deeds? By Allahazwj! (It is) recognition of an Imamasws after an Imamasws’’.³⁸⁹

And by his chain from Mansour Al Sayqal who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws in hisasws tent at Mina. Heasws looked at the people and said: ‘They are eating the Prohibited, and wearing the Prohibited, and marrying the Prohibited, while you (Shias) are eating the Permissible, and wearing the Permissible, and marrying the Permissible. No, by Allahazwj, no one is performing Hajj apart from you, nor will Heazwj Accept except from you (Shias)’’.³⁹⁰

The book ‘Manaqib’ of Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shazan, and it is reported by Al karajaky, from him, from Nuh Bin Ahmad Bin Ayman, from Ibrahim Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Husayn, from his grandfather, from Yahya Bin Abdul Hameed, from Qays bin Al Rabie, from Suleyman Al Amsh,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws are Amir Al-Momineenasws, and Imamasws of the pious.

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ وَارِثُ عِلْمِ النَّبِيِّينَ‏ وَ خَيْرُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ أَفْضَلُ السَّابِقِينَ

O Aliasws! Youasws are chief of the succesorsasws, and inheritance of knowledge of the Prophetsas, and best of the truthful, and most superior of the foremost ones.

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ زَوْجُ سَيِّدَةِ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ خَلِيفَةُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

O Aliasws! Youasws are husband of the chieftess of the women of the worlds, and caliph of the Messengersas.

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ مَوْلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

O Aliasws! You are Masterasws of the Momineen.

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ الْحُجَّةُ بَعْدِي عَلَى النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْ تَوَلَّاكَ وَ اسْتَحَقَّ دُخُولَ النَّارِ مَنْ عَادَاكَ

O Aliasws! You are the Divine Authority after mesaww over the people in their entirety. The Paradise is Obligatory for the one who befriends youasws, and the entry into the Fires is deserved by the one who is inimical to youasws.

يَا عَلِيُّ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ اصْطَفَانِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْبَرِّيَّةِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ‏ مَا قَبِلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا بِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ إِنَّ وَلَايَتَكَ لَا تُقْبَلُ إِلَّا بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَاءِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ

O Aliasws! By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Prophet-hood and Chose mesaww over the entirety of the created beings! If a servant were to worship Allahazwj for a thousand years, Allahazwj would not Accept that from him, except by (having) yourasws Wilayah, and Wilayah of the Imamsasws from yourasws sonsasws, and that yourasws Wilayah cannot be Accepted except with the disavownment from yourasws enemies and enemies of the Imamsasws from yourasws sonsasws.

بِذَلِكَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ع‏ فَمَنْ شاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَ مَنْ شاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ.

Jibraeelas informed mesaww with that. So the one who so desires to, let him believe, and the one who so desires to, let him disbelieve’. [18:29]’’.³⁹¹

And it is reported by Ibn Shazan by his chain, said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘On the night of mysaww Ascension (Mi’raj) to the sky, the most Majestic Said to mesaww: “The Rasool believes in what is Revealed unto him from his Lord [2:285]. So Isaww said: ‘And (so do) the Momineen. Heazwj Said: “Yousaww speak the truth, O Muhammadsaww! Who have yousaww left behind as a Caliph in yoursaww community?” Isaww said: ‘The best one of it’. Heazwj Said: “Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws?” Isaww said: ‘Yes, O Lordazwj!’

قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي اطَّلَعْتُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ اطِّلَاعَةً فَاخْتَرْتُكَ مِنْهَا فَشَقَقْتُ لَكَ اسْماً مِنْ أَسْمَائِي فَلَا أُذْكَرُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ إِلَّا ذُكِرْتَ مَعِي فَأَنَا الْمَحْمُودُ وَ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص

Heazwj Said: “O Muhammadsaww! Iazwj Considered the earth with a Consideration and Chose yousaww from it. Then Iazwj Derived for yousaww a name from Myazwj Names. Iazwj will not be Mentioned in any place except yousaww will be mentioned with Meazwj. Iazwj am the most-Praised One (Al-Mahmoud), and yousaww are Muhammadsaww!

ثُمَّ اطَّلَعْتُ الثَّانِيَةَ فِيهَا فَاخْتَرْتُ مِنْهَا عَلِيّاً وَ شَقَقْتُ لَهُ اسْماً مِنْ أَسْمَائِي فَأَنَا الْأَعْلَى وَ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ

Then Iazwj Considered secondly in it, and Chose Aliasws from it, and Derives a name for himasws from Myazwj Names. Iazwj am the Exalted (Al-A’ala) and heasws is Aliasws (exalted)!

يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي خَلَقْتُكَ وَ خَلَقْتُ عَلِيّاً وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ مِنْ سِنْخِ‏ نُورٍ مِنْ نُورِي وَ عَرَضْتُ وَلَايَتَكُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ فَمَنْ قَبِلَهَا كَانَ عِنْدِي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَنْ جَحَدَهَا كَانَ عِنْدِي مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ

O Muhammadsaww! Iazwj Created yousaww and Created Aliasws, and Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and the Imamasws from hisasws sonsasws, from an original Noor from Myazwj Noor, and Presented yourasws Wilayah to the inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earths. So, the one who accepted it was from the Momineen in Myazwj Presence, and one who rejected it was from the Kafirs in Myazwj Presence!

يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً مِنْ عَبِيدِي عَبَدَنِي حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ وَ يَصِيرَ كَالشَّنِّ الْبَالِي ثُمَّ أَتَانِي جَاحِداً لِوَلَايَتِكُمْ مَا غَفَرْتُ لَهُ حَتَّى يُقِرَّ بِوَلَايَتِكُمْ

O Muhammadsaww! Even if a servant from Myazwj servants were to worship Meazwj until he becomes like the decayed insect, then comes to Meazwj as a rejector of yourasws Wilayah, Iazwj will not Forgive (any sin) for him until he acknowledges yourasws Wilayah!

يَا مُحَمَّدُ تُحِبُ‏ أَنْ تَرَاهُمْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا رَبِّ فَقَالَ لِي الْتَفِتْ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْعَرْشِ فَالْتَفَتُّ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِعَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْمَهْدِيِّ فِي ضَحْضَاحٍ مِنْ نُورٍ قِيَامٌ يُصَلُّونَ وَ فِي وَسْطِهِمُ الْمَهْدِيُ‏ يُضِي‏ءُ كَأَنَّهُ كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ

O Muhammadsaww! Would yousaww like to see them?” Isaww said: ‘Yes, O Lordazwj!’ Heazwj Said to mesaww: “Turn towards the right of the Throne!” Isaww turned and there Isaww was with Aliasws, and Fatimaasws, and Al-Hassanasws, and Al-Husaynasws, and Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, and Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, and Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws, and Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws, and Aliasws Bin Musaasws, and Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, and Aliasws Bin Muhammadasws and Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws, and Al-Mahdiasws, in a dune of Noor, standing, praying Salat, and in theirasws middle was Al-Mahdiasws illuminating as if heasws was a shining star’.

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْحُجَجُ وَ الْقَائِمُ مِنْ عِتْرَتِكَ‏ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي‏ لَهُ الْحُجَّةُ الْوَاجِبَةُ لِأَوْلِيَائِي وَ هُوَ الْمُنْتَقِمُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي

Heazwj Said: “O Muhammadsaww! Theyasws are the Divine Authorities, and Al-Qaimasws is from yoursaww offspring. By Myazwj Might and Myazwj Majesty! For himasws is the Obligatory Authority for Myazwj friends, and heasws is the oneasws Iazwj shall Take revenge from Myazwj enemies!”

بِهِمْ يُمْسِكُ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ‏ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ‏.

By themasws, Allahazwj Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His Permission [22:65]’’.³⁹²

(The book) ‘A’laam Al Deen’ of Al Daylami, from Abu Saeed Al Khudri who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww was seated and in hissaww presence were a number of hissaww companions, and among them was Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who says, ‘There is no god except Allahazwj’, would enter the Paradise’.

فَقَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّمَا تُقْبَلُ شَهَادَةُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِنْ هَذَا وَ شِيعَتِهِ وَ وَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ قَالَ لَهُمَا مِنْ عَلَامَةِ ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا تَجْلِسَا مَجْلِسَهُ وَ لَا تُكَذِّبَا قَوْلَهُ

Two men from hissaww companions said, ‘So, we are hereby saying, ‘There is no god except Allahazwj’’. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘But rather the Acceptance of the testimony, ‘There is no god except Allahazwj’ is from this oneasws and hisasws Shias’ – and Rasool-Allahsaww placed hissaww hand upon the head of Aliasws, and hesaww said to both of them: ‘From a sign of that is that you two should neither sit in hisasws seat nor belie hisasws words’.

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ يَهُودِيّاً وَ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ بِغَيْرِ وَلَايَتِنَا أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْخِرَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ

And Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who hates usasws, Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would Resurrect him as a Jew, and even if a servant were to worship Allahazwj between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahimas for a thousand years, then meets Allahazwj without ourasws Wilayah, Allahazwj would Fling him upon his nostrils into the Fire.

وَ مَنْ مَاتَ لَا يَعْرِفُ إِمَامَ زَمَانِهِ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكَ اللَّهُ الْأَرْضَ مُنْذُ قَبَضَ آدَمَ إِلَّا وَ فِيهَا إِمَامٌ يُهْتَدَى بِهِ حُجَّةٌ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ لَزِمَهُ نَجَا

And one who dies not having recognised the Imamasws of his time, dies a death of the pre-Islamic period. By Allahazwj! Allahazwj has not left the earth, since Adamas passed away, except and therein has been an Imamas (people) can be guided by himasws, a Divine Authority upon the servants. One who neglects himasws would be destroyed, and one who obliges himasws would attain salvation.

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِهِ لَأُعَذِّبَنَّ كُلَّ رَعِيَّةٍ أَطَاعَتْ إِمَاماً جَائِراً وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ بَرَّةً تَقِيَّةً وَ لَأَعْفُوَنَّ عَنْ كُلِّ رَعِيَّةٍ أَطَاعَتْ إِمَاماً هَادِياً وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ ظَالِمَةً مُسِيئَةً وَ مَنِ ادَّعَى الْإِمَامَةَ وَ لَيْسَ بِإِمَامٍ فَقَدِ افْتَرَى عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ‏.

Allahazwj the Exalted Said in one of Hisazwj Books: “Iazwj will Punish every citizen obeying a tyrannical imam, and even if he was righteous, pious, and Iazwj will Pardon every citizen obeying an Imamasws of guidance, and even if he was unjust, evil; and one who claims the Imamate and he isn’t an Imamasws, so he has fabricated upon Allahazwj and upon Hisazwj Rasoolsaww’’.³⁹³

‘I asked Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiqasws, ‘What is the reason that there is no religion for those ones (non-Shias) and there is no fault for these ones (Shias)?’

قَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ بَعْدَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ يَعْدِلُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ لَا بَعْدَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ شَيْ‏ءٌ يَعْدِلُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ لَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ يَعْدِلُ الصَّوْمَ وَ لَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ يَعْدِلُ الْحَجَّ وَ فَاتِحَةُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ مَعْرِفَتُنَا وَ خَاتِمَتُهُ مَعْرِفَتُنَا الْخَبَرَ.

Heasws said: ‘There is nothing after the recognition equating this Salat, nor after Salat is there anything thing equating the Zakat, and there is nothing after that equating the Fasts, nor is there anything after that equating the Hajj, and the opener of that, all of it, is ourasws recognition, and its ending is ourasws recognition’’.³⁹⁶ (P.s. - The recording is incorrect)

And my cousin said to himasws similar to that.

‘From Zayd son of Aliasws (Bin Al-Husaynasws) regarding Words of the Exalted: And as for the wall, so it belonged to two orphaned boys [18:82], said, ‘The two boys were protected due to the righteousness of their father, so who is more rightful to hope for the Protection from Allahazwj due to the righteousness from the ones past from his forefathers than weasws are?

Amir Al-Momineenasws saw in the dream, a speaker saying (in prose), ‘When the heart remembers the group of the Prophetsaww, and the imprisonment of the women and tearing of the veil, and slaughter of the child, and killing of the successorasws, and Shabbirasws being killed, and Shabbarasws being poisoned, the water of the heart ripples in the eye, and the torrent comes out upon the cheeks. How can a heart be patient upon theirasws grief, for during the affliction happens to be the lesson’’.⁴²¹

And Al Shafie has referred from Abu Haneefa, by his chain from Abdulla Bin Abu Layli,

‘During the era of Umar a lot of wealth came from Persia and Syria and Ahwaz. He said, ‘O clan of Hashimas! Will you lend to me from this war booty and I shall compensate you another time?’ Aliasws said: ‘Permitted’. Al Abbas said, ‘I fear the loss of our rights’, and it happened just as he said. Umar died, and it was not returned to us and our right was lost’’.⁴²³ (Not a Hadeeth)

12 - وَ سُئِلَ عَلِيٌّ ع عَنِ الْخُمُسِ فَقَالَ الْخُمُسُ لَنَا فَمُنِعْنَا فَصَبَرْنَا

And Aliasws was asked about the Khums, so heasws said: ‘The Khums is for usasws. Weasws were prevented it and weasws were patient’.

وَ كَانَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ رَدَّهُ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَاقِرِ ع وَ رَدَّهُ أَيْضاً الْمَأْمُونُ فَمَنْ حَرُمَتْ عَلَيْهِ الصَّدَقَةُ وَ فُرِضَتْ لَهُ الْكَرَامَةُ وَ الْمَحَبَّةُ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ ضُرّاً وَ يَهْلِكُونَ فَقْراً يَرْهَنُ أَحَدُهُمْ سَيْفَهُ وَ يَبِيعُ آخَرُ ثَوْبَهُ وَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى فَيْئِهِ بِعَيْنٍ مَرِيضَةٍ وَ يَتَشَدَّدُ عَلَى دَهْرِهِ بِنَفْسٍ ضَعِيفَةٍ لَيْسَ لَهُ ذَنْبٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ جَدَّهُ النَّبِيُّ وَ أَبَاهُ الْوَصِيُ‏.

And Umar Bin Abdul Aziz had returned it to Muhammad Al-Baqirasws, and Al-Mamoun had returned it as well. So, the one upon whom the charity is Prohibited and the honour and the love is Obligated for him, they would suffer harm, and they would be destroyed out of poverty. One of them would pawn his sword, and another would sell his clothes, and would look at his ‘Fey’ with an eye of illness, and would have difficulties in his time with a weak soul. There would be no sin for him except that his grandfathersaww was the Prophetsaww and his fatherasws was the successorasws’’.⁴²⁴ (This paragraph is not a Hadeeth)

As for the Shirk with Allahazwj, So Allahazwj Revealed regarding usasws what Heazwj Revealed, and Rasool-Allahsaww said regarding usasws what hesaww said. But they belied Allahazwj and belied Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and they associated with Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic.

And as for killing the soul which Allahazwj Prohibited, so they have killed Al-Husaynasws Bin Aliasws and hisasws companion. And as for devouring wealth of the orphan, so they have done away with ourasws ‘Fey’ which Allahazwj had Made to be for usasws, and they gave it to others.

‏ وَ أَمَّا عُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَقَدْ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ‏ النَّبِيُّ أَوْلى‏ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَزْواجُهُ أُمَّهاتُهُمْ‏ فَعَقُّوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ عَقُّوا أُمَّهُمْ خَدِيجَةَ فِي ذُرِّيَّتِهَا

And as for disloyalty to the parents, so Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed in Hisazwj Book: The Prophet is foremost with the Momineen than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers [33:6]. They were disloyal to Rasool-Allahazwj regarding hissaww offspring, and they were disloyal to their mother Khadeejaasws regarding heras offspring.

وَ أَمَّا قَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَةِ فَقَدْ قَذَفُوا فَاطِمَةَ ع عَلَى مَنَابِرِهِمْ‏ وَ أَمَّا الْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ فَقَدْ أَعْطَوْا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بَيْعَتَهُمْ طَائِعِينَ غَيْرَ مُكْرَهِينَ فَفَرُّوا عَنْهُ وَ خَذَلُوهُ وَ أَمَّا إِنْكَارُ حَقِّنَا فَهَذَا مَا لَا يَتَنَازَعُونَ فِيهِ‏.

And as for slandering the married woman, so they had slandered (Syeda) Fatimaasws upon their pulpits. And as for fleeing from the army, so they had given their allegiances to Amir Al-Momineenasws willingly, without coercion, then they fled from himasws, and abandoned himasws. And as for denial of ourasws rights, so this what they cannot dispute in it’’.⁴²⁶

15- أَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ سُلَيْمِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ الْهِلَالِيِّ قَالَ أَبَانُ بْنُ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرُ ع‏ مَا لَقِينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مِنْ ظُلْمِ قُرَيْشٍ وَ تَظَاهُرِهِمْ عَلَيْنَا وَ قَتْلِهِمْ إِيَّانَا وَ مَا لَقِيَتْ شِيعَتُنَا وَ مُحِبُّونَا مِنَ النَّاسِ

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is found in the book of Suleym Bin Qays Al Hilalo who said, ‘Aban Bin Abu Ayyash said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said to me: ‘What was faced by usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household, from the injustices of the Quraysh, and what they manifested to usasws and their killing of usasws, and what was meted out to ourasws Shias (cruelties towards them) and those that love usasws from the people.

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قُبِضَ وَ قَدْ قَامَ بِحَقِّنَا وَ أَمَرَ بِطَاعَتِنَا وَ فَرَضَ وَلَايَتَنَا وَ مَوَدَّتَنَا وَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِأَنَّا أَوْلَى‏ بِهِمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَمَرَ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ

Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, and hesaww has established ourasws rights and ordered them to be obedient to usasws and obligated ourasws Wilayah upon them, and ourasws cordiality, and informed them that weasws are foremost with them than their own selves, and ordered them that those present should make it reach to those that are absent from among them.

فَتَظَاهَرُوا عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ع وَ احْتَجَّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِيهِ وَ مَا سَمِعَتِ الْعَامَّةُ فَقَالُوا صَدَقْتَ قَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ لَكِنْ قَدْ نَسَخَهُ

They supported each other against Aliasws and heasws argued against them with what Rasool-Allahsaww had said regarding himasws and what the general Muslims had heard. They said, ‘Youasws speak the truth, Rasool-Allahsaww had said it, but hesaww had abrogated it.

فَقَالَ إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ أَكْرَمَنَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اصْطَفَانَا وَ لَمْ يَرْضَ لَنَا بِالدُّنْيَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَجْمَعْ لَنَا النُّبُوَّةَ وَ الْخِلَافَةَ فَشَهِدَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَةُ نَفَرٍ عُمَرُ وَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ وَ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَ سَالِمٌ‏ مَوْلَى أَبِي حُذَيْفَةَ

(It was alleged that) Hesaww said: ‘Weasws, Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Honoured usasws, and Chose usasws, and was not pleased for usasws with the world, and that Allahazwj did not Gather for usasws, the Prophet-hood and the Caliphate’, (to this statement) so four persons testified for him (Abu Bakr) with that – Umar, and Abu Ubeyda, and Muaz Bin Jabal, and Saalim Mawla Abu Huzeyfa.

فَشَبَّهُوا عَلَى الْعَامَّةِ وَ صَدَّقُوهُمْ وَ رَدُّوهُمْ عَلَى أَدْبَارِهِمْ وَ أَخْرَجُوهَا مِنْ مَعْدِنِهَا حَيْثُ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ وَ احْتَجُّوا عَلَى الْأَنْصَارِ بِحَقِّنَا فَعَقَدُوهَا لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ ثُمَّ رَدَّهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَلَى عُمَرَ يُكَافِيهِ بِهَا

They confused (the matter) upon the general Muslims and they ratified them, and they turned them back upon their heels and took it (caliphate) out from its mine where Allahazwj had Made it to be, and they argued upon the Helpers with ourasws right, and their tied it to Abu Bakr. Then Abu Bakr returned it to Umar sufficing him with it.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَهَا عُمَرُ شُورَى بَيْنَ سِتَّةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَهَا ابْنُ عَوْفٍ لِعُثْمَانَ عَلَى أَنْ يَرُدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ فَغَدَرَ بِهِ عُثْمَانُ وَ أَظْهَرَ ابْنُ عَوْفٍ كُفْرَهُ وَ طُعِنَ فِي‏ حَيَاتِهِ وَ زَعَمَ‏ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ سَمَّهُ فَمَاتَ

Then Umar made it to be between six. Then Ibn Awf made it to be for Usman upon (a condition) that he would return it to him. Usman was treacherous with him and Ibn Awf manifested his Kufr and he was afflicted by plague during his lifetime, and he claimed that Usman had poisoned him, and he died.

ثُمَّ قَامَ طَلْحَةُ وَ الزُّبَيْرُ فَبَايَعَا عَلِيّاً ع طَائِعَيْنِ غَيْرَ مُكْرَهَيْنِ ثُمَّ نَكَثَا وَ غَدَرَا وَ ذَهَبَا بِعَائِشَةَ مَعَهُمَا إِلَى الْبَصْرَةِ ثُمَّ دَعَا مُعَاوِيَةُ طُغَاةَ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ إِلَى الطَّلَبِ بِدَمِ عُثْمَانَ وَ نَصَبَ لَنَا الْحَرْبَ ثُمَّ خَالَفَهُ أَهْلُ حَرُورَاءَ عَلَى أَنَّ الْحُكْمَ‏ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِ

Then Talha and Al-Zubeyr stood up and they pledged allegiance to Aliasws willingly, without coercion. Then they broke it and were treacherous, and Ayesha went with them to Al-Basra. Then Muawiya called the tyrants of Syria to seek the blood of Usman and established the war to usasws. Then the people of Haroura opposed him upon that the judgment should be by the Book of Allahazwj and Sunnah of Hisazwj Prophetsaww.

فَلَوْ كَانَا حَكَمَا بِمَا اشْتُرِطَ عَلَيْهِمَا لَحَكَمَا أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ ص وَ فِي سُنَّتِهِ فَخَالَفَهُ أَهْلُ النَّهْرَوَانِ وَ قَاتَلُوهُ

If they had judged with what was stipulated upon them, they would have judged that Aliasws is Emir of the Momineen in the Book of Allahazwj and upon the tongue of Hisazwj Prophetsaww, and in hissaww Sunnah. The people of Al-Naharwan opposed himasws and fought against himasws.

ثُمَّ بَايَعُوا الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع بَعْدَ أَبِيهِ وَ عَاهَدُوهُ ثُمَّ غَدَرُوا بِهِ وَ أَسْلَمُوهُ وَ وَثَبُوا بِهِ حَتَّى طَعَنُوهُ بِخَنْجَرٍ فِي فَخِذِهِ‏ وَ انْتَهَبُوا عَسْكَرَهُ وَ عَالَجُوا خَلَاخِيلَ أُمَّهَاتِ الْأَوْلَادِ

Then they paid allegiance to Al-Hassanasws, after hisasws fatherasws and made promises to himasws, then they betrayed himasws and submitted himasws (to Muawiya) and pounced upon himasws to the extent that they stabbed himasws with a dagger in hisasws thigh, and the soldiers rampaged and looted the belongings of hisasws army, and the anklets of the mothers of the children.

فَصَالَحَ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ حَقَنَ دَمَهُ وَ دَمَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ وَ هُمْ قَلِيلٌ حَقَّ قَلِيلٍ حَتَّى لَمْ يَجِدْ أَعْوَاناً

So, heasws reconciled with Muawiya and saved hisasws blood and blood of hisasws familyasws and hisasws Shias; and they were few, really few, until they could not find supporters.

ثُمَّ بَايَعَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ أَلْفاً ثُمَّ غَدَرُوا بِهِ فَخَرَجُوا إِلَيْهِ فَقَاتَلُوهُ حَتَّى قُتِلَ ع

Then Al-Husaynasws was pledged allegiance to from eighteen thousand people of Al-Kufa. Then they betrayed himasws and they came out to himasws and fought against himasws until heasws was killed.

ثُمَّ لَمْ نَزَلْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ مُذْ قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نُذَلُّ وَ نُقْصَى وَ نُحْرَمُ وَ نُقْتَلُ‏ وَ نُطْرَدُ وَ نَخَافُ عَلَى دِمَائِنَا وَ كُلِّ مَنْ يُحِبُّنَا وَ وَجَدَ الْكَذَّابُونَ‏ لِكَذِبِهِمْ مَوْضِعاً يَتَقَرَّبُونَ‏ إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ وَ قُضَاتِهِمْ وَ عُمَّالِهِمْ فِي كُلِّ بَلْدَةٍ يُحَدِّثُونَ عَدُوَّنَا وَ وُلَاتَهُمْ الْمَاضِينَ بِالْأَحَادِيثِ الْكَاذِبَةِ الْبَاطِلَةِ

Then weasws the Peopleasws of the Household, since Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, did not cease to be humiliated, and reduced, and deprived, and killed, and expelled, and scared upon ourasws blood, and every one who loved usasws; and the liars found a place for their lies to draw near to their friends and their judges, and their office bearers in every city, narrating to ourasws enemies and their friends of the past with the false invalid Ahadeeth.

وَ يُحَدِّثُونَ وَ يَرْوُونَ عَنَّا مَا لَمْ نَقُلْ تَهْجِيناً مِنْهُمْ لَنَا وَ كَذِباً مِنْهُمْ عَلَيْنَا وَ تَقَرُّباً إِلَى وُلَاتِهِمْ وَ قُضَاتِهِمْ بِالزُّورِ وَ الْكَذِبِ وَ كَانَ عِظَمُ ذَلِكَ وَ كَثْرَتُهُ فِي زَمَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ الْحَسَنِ ع

And they were narrating Ahadeeth and reporting from usasws what weasws had not said, being a criss-crossing from them to us, and a belying from them upon usasws, and drawing closer to their friends, and their judges with the false testimonies, and the lies, and the greatest of that and its most frequent was during the era of Muawiya after the killing of Al-Husaynasws.

فَقُتِلَتِ الشِّيعَةُ فِي كُلِّ بَلْدَةٍ وَ قُطِعَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ أَرْجُلُهُمْ وَ صَلَبُوهُمْ عَلَى التُّهَمَةِ وَ الظِّنَّةِ مِنْ ذِكْرِ حُبِّنَا وَ الِانْقِطَاعِ إِلَيْنَا

The Shias were killed in every city, and their hands and feet were cut, and they crucified them upon the accusation and the misconception of mentioning ourasws love and the isolating to usasws.

ثُمَّ لَمْ يَزَلِ الْبَلَاءُ الشَّدِيدُ يَزْدَادُ مِنْ زَمَنِ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ بَعْدَ قَتْلِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع ثُمَّ جَاءَ الْحَجَّاجُ فَقَتَلَهُمْ بِكُلِّ قِتْلَةٍ وَ بِكُلِّ ظِنَّةٍ وَ بِكُلِّ تُهَمَةٍ حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُقَالُ لَهُ زِنْدِيقٌ أَوْ مَجُوسِيٌّ كَانَ ذَلِكَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْ يُشَارَ إِلَيْهِ بِأَنَّهُ مِنْ شِيعَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع

Then the severe affliction did not cease to increase from the time of Ibn Ziyad after the killing of Al-Husaynasws. Then came Al-Hajjaj, and he killed them (Shias) with every killing, and with every misconception, and with every accusation to the extent that the (Shia) man would call himself an atheist or a Magian, that being more beloved to him than for him to be indicate to that he is from the Shias of Al Husaynasws.

وَ رُبَّمَا رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يُذْكَرُ بِالْخَيْرِ وَ لَعَلَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ‏ وَرِعاً صَدُوقاً يُحَدِّثُ بِأَحَادِيثَ عَظِيمَةٍ عَجِيبَةٍ مِنْ تَفْضِيلِ بَعْضِ مَنْ قَدْ مَضَى مِنَ الْوُلَاةِ لَمْ يَخْلُقِ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً قَطُّ وَ هُوَ يَحْسَبُ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ لِكَثْرَةِ مَنْ سَمِعَهَا مِنْهُ مِمَّنْ لَا يُعْرَفُ بِكَذِبٍ وَ لَا بِقِلَّةِ وَرَعٍ وَ يَرْوُونَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَشْيَاءَ قَبِيحَةً وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُمْ رَوَوْا فِي‏ ذَلِكَ الْبَاطِلَ وَ الْكَذِبَ وَ الزُّورَ

And sometimes you would see the man mentioned with the good, and perhaps he happens to be devout, truthful, narrating a mighty strange Hadeeth from the merits of one of the rulers who had passed, Allahazwj not having Created anything from it at all, and he reckoned that it is truth due to the frequency of the ones who heard from him, from the one not recognised as being a liar nor with scarcity of the devoutness, and they are reporting ugliness about Aliasws, and about Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws what Allahazwj Knows they reported in that the invalid, and the lie, and the falsity.

قُلْتُ لَهُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ سَمِّ لِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً

I said to himasws, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! Specify to me something from that’.

قَالَ رِوَايَتُهُمْ عُمَرُ سَيِّدُ كُهُولِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ إِنَّ عُمَرَ مُحَدَّثٌ وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَكَ يُلَقِّنُهُ وَ إِنَّ السَّكِينَةَ تَنْطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِهِ وَ عُثْمَانُ‏ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَسْتَحِي مِنْهُ وَ اثْبُتْ حَرَى‏ فَمَا عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ وَ صِدِّيقٌ وَ شَهِيدٌ حَتَّى عَدَّدَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع- أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مِائَتَيْ‏ رِوَايَةٍ يَحْسَبُونَ أَنَّهَا حَقٌّ

Heasws said: ‘Their reporting that Umar is the chief of the elderly of the Paradise, and that Umar is one narrated to (by Angels), and that the Angel indoctrinated him, and that the tranquillity speaks upon his tongue, and Usman is such that the Angels are embarrassed from him, and the whims were affirmed, so there is nothing upon you except a Prophetsaww and a truthful, and a martyr’ – to the extent that Abu Ja’farasws counted more than two hundred reports they were reckoning that these are true’.

فَقَالَ هِيَ وَ اللَّهِ كُلُّهَا كَذِبٌ وَ زُورٌ قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ قَالَ مِنْهَا مَوْضُوعٌ وَ مِنْهَا مُحَرَّفٌ فَأَمَّا الْمُحَرَّفُ فَإِنَّمَا عَنَى أَنَّ عَلَيْكَ نَبِيٌّ وَ صِدِّيقٌ وَ شَهِيدٌ يَعْنِي عَلِيّاً ع‏ وَ مِثْلُهُ وَ كَيْفَ لَا يُبَارَكُ لَكَ وَ قَدْ عَلَاكَ نَبِيٌّ وَ صِدِّيقٌ وَ شَهِيدٌ يَعْنِي عَلِيّاً

Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! These, all of these are lies, and false’. I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! Nothing from these happened?’ Heasws said: ‘From these are clear (forgeries) and from these are distorted. As for the distorted, but rather is that, ‘Upon you is a Prophetsaww, and a truthful and a martyr’ – meaning Aliasws, and similar to it. And how can it not be a Blessing for you, and upon you there is (indeed) a Prophetsaww, and a truthful, and a martyr, meaning Aliasws.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ قَوْلِي عَلَى قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَى قَوْلِ عَلِيٍّ ع مَا اخْتَلَفَ فِيهِ أُمَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَبْعَثَ اللَّهُ الْمَهْدِيَّ ع‏.

O Allahazwj! Myasws word is upon the word of Rasool-Allahazwj and upon the words of Aliasws, what the community of Muhammadsaww has differed in from after himasws, up to (the time) Allahazwj Sends the Mahdiasws’’.⁴²⁷

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq Al Attar, from Sa’ad, from Abdul Samad Bin Muhammad, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from Sudeyr Al Makky who said,

‘It was narrated to me by Muhammadasws Bin Ali Al-Baqirasws and I had not seen any Mohammedan equating himasws.

(The books) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ (and) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Majaylawiya, from his uncle, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Kufi, from Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Muhammad Bin Marwan,

‘From Al-Sadiqasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who hates usasws Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would Resurrect him as a Jew’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And even if testifies the two testimonies?’

Hesaww said: ‘Yes, but he equips with these two phrases to save his blood from being spilt, and paying the taxes from a hand while he is belittled’.

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘If an enemy of Aliasws were to come to Euphrates and he pushes through and its water almost comes to his side, then he takes a drink from it and says, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj’, and when he has drunk it, says, ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj’, that would not be except dead, or blood burst forth, or meat of pig, [6:145]’’.⁴³⁴

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed, from Ahmad Bin al Waleed, from his father, from Saeed Bin Abdullah Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahman, from Al Moalla Bin Hilal, from Al Kalby, from Abu Salih, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘I said to the Prophetsaww, ‘Advise me’. Hesaww said: ‘Upon you is to be with the cordiality of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the Truth as a Prophetsaww! Allahazwj will not Accept any good deed until Heazwj asks him about love of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and although Heazwj the Exalted is more Knowing.

فَإِنْ جَاءَهُ بِوَلَايَتِهِ قَبِلَ عَمَلَهُ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَأْتِ بِوَلَايَتِهِ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهِ إِلَى النَّارِ

So, if he has come with hisasws Wilayah, his deeds would be Accepted upon what had been from him, and if he has not come with hisasws Wilayah, Heazwj would not ask him about anything. Then Heazwj would Command with him to the Fire.

يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ النَّارَ لَأَشَدُّ غَضَباً عَلَى مُبْغِضِ عَلِيٍّ ع مِنْهَا عَلَى مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ وَلَداً

O Ibn Abbas! By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth as a Prophetsaww! The Fire would be of severe wrath upon the hater of Aliasws, from it upon the one who claims that there is a son for Allahazwj.

يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ لَوْ أَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ اجْتَمَعُوا عَلَى بُغْضِهِ وَ لَنْ يَفْعَلُوا لَعَذَّبَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِالنَّارِ

O Ibn Abbas! If the Angels of Proximity and the Messenger Prophetsas were to gather upon hating himasws, but theyas will never do it, Allahazwj would Punish themas with the Fire’.

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ هَلْ يُبْغِضُهُ أَحَدٌ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ نَعَمْ يُبْغِضُهُ قَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ أَنَّهُمْ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ نَصِيباً

I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And does anyone hate himasws?’ Hesaww said: ‘O Ibn Abbas! Yes, heasws would be hated by a people mentioning that they are from mysaww community. Allahazwj will not Make a share to be for them in Al-Islam’.

يَا ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ إِنَّ مِنْ عَلَامَةِ بُغْضِهِمْ لَهُ تَفْضِيلَهُمْ مَنْ هُوَ دُونَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيّاً أَكْرَمَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي وَ لَا أَوْصِيَاءَ أَكْرَمُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ وَصِيِّي عَلِيٍّ

O Ibn Abbas! From the signs of their hatred for himasws is their preferring one who is below himasws to be over himasws. By the Oneazwj Who Sent mesaww with the truth! Allahazwj has not Sent any Prophetsaww more honourable to Himazwj than mesaww, nor any successorasws more honourable to Himazwj that mysaww succesorsasws Aliasws’.

قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ لَهُ كَمَا أَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَوْصَانِي بِمَوَدَّتِهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَأَكْبَرُ عَمَلِي عِنْدِي الْخَبَرَ.

Ibn Abbas said, ‘I did not cease to be with himasws just as Rasool-Allahsaww had instructed me, and advised me with hisasws cordiality, and it is the greatest of my deeds in my presence’’.⁴³⁵

‘A slave of Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws said, ‘I entered to see Abu Ja’farasws. I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww!

Then hesaww turned to measws and said: ‘By Allahazwj! They are youasws and yourasws Shias, O Aliasws, and yourasws appointment and their appointment is as the Fountain tomorrow, resplendent of faces, crowned’.

‘I entered to see an old woman from Tameem and she was narrating to the people. I said to her, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you! Narrate to me some of the merits of Amir Al-Momineenasws’. She said, ‘I shall narrate to you, and this old man, as you can see, is sleeping in front of you’. I said to her, ‘And who is this?’ She said, ‘Abu Al-Hamra’a, servant of Rasool-Allahsaww’.

I sat down to him. When he heard my noise, he sat upright. He said, ‘Shh!’ I said, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you! Narrated to me with what you saw from Rasool-Allahsaww doing with Aliasws, and that Allahazwj would ask you about it’. He said, ‘You have approached the informed one.

Rasool-Allahsaww came out to us on the day of Arafaat, and hesaww has holding a hand of Aliasws. Hesaww said: ‘O community of creatures! Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Boasts with you all during this day in order to Forgive you all generally’. Then hesaww turned towards Aliasws, then said to himasws: ‘And Forgiveness is for yourasws (shias), O Aliasws, in particular’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِيُّ ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ السَّعِيدَ حَقَّ السَّعِيدِ مَنْ أَحَبَّكَ وَ أَطَاعَكَ وَ إِنَّ الشَّقِيَّ كُلَّ الشَّقِيِّ مَنْ عَادَاكَ وَ أَبْغَضَكَ وَ نَصَبَ لَكَ

Then hesaww said to himasws: ‘O Aliasws! Come near mesaww!’ Heasws went near himsaww. Hesaww said: ‘The fortunate one, truly fortunate is one who loves youasws, and obeys youasws, and the wretched of all wretched ones is one who is inimical to youasws and hates youasws and establishes hostility to youasws.

O Aliasws One who battles against youasws, so he has battled mesaww, and one who battles mesaww so he has battled Allahazwj. O Aliasws! One who hates youasws, so he has hated mesaww, and one who hates mesaww, so he has hated Allahazwj, and Allahazwj would Ruin his hard work, and Enter him into the Fire of Hell’’.⁴³⁷

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Rezaasws’, by the three chain from Al-Rezaasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Paradise is Prohibited unto the one who oppresses Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and upon the one who fights against themasws, and upon the supporter against themasws, and upon the one who reviles themasws: there shall be no portion for them in the Hereafter, nor will Allah Speak to them, nor will He Look at them on the Day of Judgement, nor will He Purify them, and for them would be a painful Punishment [3:77]’’.⁴⁴¹

11- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ اهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ‏ يَقُولُ أَرْشِدْنَا لِلصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ أَيْ أَرْشِدْنَا لِلُزُومِ الطَّرِيقِ الْمُؤَدِّي إِلَى مَحَبَّتِكَ وَ الْمَانِعِ أَنْ نَتَّبِعَ‏ أَهْوَاءَنَا فَنَعْطَبَ وَ نَأْخُذَ بِآرَائِنَا فَنَهْلِكَ

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askariasws) - Ja’farasws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘The Words of the Mighty and Majestic: Guide us to the Straight Path [1:6] – He (the speaker) is saying, ‘Guide us to the Straight Path, Guide us to the Necessitated Path, that leads to Yourazwj Love and reaches to Yourazwj Paradise, and the preventer from us following our personal desires so we would (end up) being corrupted, or if we take to our opinions so we would be destroyed’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع طُوبَى لِلَّذِينَ هُمْ كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَحْمِلُ هَذَا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَلَفٍ عُدُولٌ يَنْفُونَ عَنْهُ تَحْرِيفَ الْغَالِينَ وَ انْتِحَالَ الْمُبْطِلِينَ وَ تَأْوِيلَ الْجَاهِلِينَ

Then Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘Beatitude is for those who are just as Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘He will bear this knowledge, the one from every refraining descendant, negating from it the alteration of the exaggerators and the plagiarisms of the invalidators, and the explanations of the ignorant’’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنِّي عَاجِزٌ بِبَدَنِي عَنْ نُصْرَتِكُمْ وَ لَسْتُ أَمْلِكُ إِلَّا الْبَرَاءَةَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكُمْ وَ اللَّعْنَ‏ فَكَيْفَ حَالِي‏

A man said to himasws, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! I am let down by my body to be (able to) help youasws, but I cannot be at ease unless I disavow from yourasws enemies and curse upon them. So how is my state?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ الصَّادِقُ ع حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ ضَعُفَ عَنْ نُصْرَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَلَعَنَ‏ فِي خَلَوَاتِهِ أَعْدَاءَنَا بَلَّغَ اللَّهُ صَوْتَهُ جَمِيعَ الْأَمْلَاكِ مِنَ الثَّرَى إِلَى الْعَرْشِ

Al-Sadiqasws said to him: ‘Myasws fatherasws narrated to measws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws, from Rasool-Allahsaww having said: ‘The one who is (too) weak from helping usasws, the Peopleasws of the Household, so he curses ourasws enemies in his privacy, Allahazwj would Make his voice reach the entirety of the kingdoms, from the soil to the Throne.

فَكُلَّمَا لَعَنَ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ أَعْدَاءَنَا لَعْناً سَاعَدُوهُ وَ لَعَنُوا مَنْ يَلْعَنُهُ ثُمَّ ثَنَّوْا فَقَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى عَبْدِكَ هَذَا الَّذِي قَدْ بَذَلَ مَا فِي وُسْعِهِ وَ لَوْ قَدَرَ عَلَى أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُ لَفَعَلَ

Thus, every time this man curses ourasws enemies with a curse, so he gets supported by (all of those) to whom it reaches it (in the skies). Then they are lauding him, so they are saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon this servant of Yourazwj, who has done whatever was in his capacity, and had he been upon more (capacity) than it, he would have done so’.

فَإِذَا النِّدَاءُ مِنْ قِبَلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ أَجَبْتُ دُعَاءَكُمْ وَ سَمِعْتُ نِدَاءَكُمْ وَ صَلَّيْتُ عَلَى رُوحِهِ فِي الْأَرْوَاحِ وَ جَعَلْتُهُ عِنْدِي مِنَ‏ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ الْأَخْيارِ.

Then there would be the Call from Allahazwj the Exalted: “Iazwj have Answered your supplication, and Heard your call, and have Sent Blessings upon his soul among the souls, and Made him to be, in Myazwj Presence, from the selected ones, the best [38:47]’’.⁴⁴²

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub – Al Haris Al Awr, and Abu Ayoub Al Ansari, and Jabir Bin Yazeed and Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, and Isa Bin Suleyman, from Abu Abdullahasws, and part of the hadeeth is included in part that Aliasws was circling in the markets of Al-Kufa and a woman cursed himasws three times.

فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَةَ سَلَقْلَقِيَّةٍ كَمْ قُتِلَتْ مِنَ أَهْلِكِ قَالَتْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَتْ قَالَتْ لِأُمِّهَا ذَلِكَ فَقَالَتْ السَّلَقْلَقِيَّةُ مَنْ وَلَدَتْ بَعْدَ حَيْضٍ وَ لَا يَكُونُ لَهَا نَسْلٌ فَقَالَتْ يَا أُمَّاهْ أَنْتِ هَكَذَا قَالَتْ بَلَى.

Heasws said: ‘O daughter of Slaqlaqiya! How many of your family members have Iasws killed?’ She said, ‘Seventeen or eighteen’. When she left, she said that to her mother. She said, ‘Slaqlaqiya is one who gives birth after menstruation and there does not happen to be any lineage for her’. She said, ‘O mother! You are like that?’ She said, ‘Yes’’.⁴⁴³

13- وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع‏ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ وَ قَدْ حَكَمَ عَلَيْهَا مَا قَضَيْتَ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ لَا تَعْدِلُ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ وَ لَا قَضِيَّتُكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ بِالْمَرْضِيَّةِ

And in a report of Al-Baqirasws: ‘She said, and heasws had judged against her what heasws had judged with the fairness, ‘Youasws are not being just among the citizens nor is yourasws judgment with the Pleasure in the Presence of Allahazwj’.

فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا خَزِيَّةُ يَا بَذِيَّةُ يَا سَلْفَعُ أَوْ يَا سَلْسَعُ فَوَلَّتْ تُوَلْوِلُ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ وَا وَيْلِي لَقَدْ هَتَكْتَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ سِتْراً كَانَ مَسْتُوراً.

Heasws looked at her, then said: ‘O shameful! O immoral! O domineering!’, or ‘O closed one!’ She turned around and went away and she was saying, ‘O woe unto me! O sonasws of Abu Talibasws! Youasws have torn a veil which was covering (me)’’.⁴⁴⁴

14- وَ فِي خَصَائِصِ النَّطَنْزِيِّ، قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع‏ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا يُبْغِضُكَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا سِفَاحِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا يَهُودِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَعِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ إِلَّا شَقِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا سَلَقْلَقِيَّةٌ

And in (the book) ‘Khasaais’ – Al Natanzy,

‘Aliasws said: ‘Allahazwj is the Greatest (beyond description)!’ Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘No one from the Quraysh will hate youasws except a thug, nor from the Helpers except a Jew, nor from the Arabs except a bastard, nor from the rest of the people except a wretched, nor from the women except a Slaqlaqiya’.

فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ يَا عَلِيُّ وَ مَا السَّلَقْلَقِيَّةُ قَالَ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ مِنْ دُبُرِهَا فَقَالَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَ صَدَقَ رَسُولُهُ‏ أَخْبَرْتَنِي بِشَيْ‏ءٍ هُوَ فِيَّ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا أَعُودُ إِلَى بُغْضِكَ أَبَداً

The woman said, ‘O Aliasws! And what is the Slaqlaqiya?’ Heasws said: ‘The one who menstruates from her behind’. The woman said, ‘Allahazwj Speaks the truth, and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww speaks the truth. Inform me with something which is in me, O Aliasws, I will not repeat to hating youasws, ever!’

فَقَالَ ع اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ صَادِقَةً فَحَوِّلْ طَمْثَهَا حَيْثُ تَطْمَثُ النِّسَاءُ فَحَوَّلَ اللَّهُ طَمْثَهَا

Heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj! If she was truthful, then Transfer her menstruation to where the women tend to menstruate (from)!’ Allahazwj Transferred her menstruation.

وَ قَالَ الْحَارِثُ الْأَعْوَرُ فَتَبِعَهَا عَمْرُو بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ وَ سَأَلَهَا عَنْ مَقَالِهِ فِيهَا فَصَدَّقَتْهُ فَقَالَ عَمْرٌو أَ تَرَاهُ سَاحِراً أَوْ كَاهِناً أَوْ مَخْدُوماً قَالَتْ بِئْسَمَا قُلْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ لَكِنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ

And Al-Haris Al-Awr (the narrator) said, ‘Amro Bin Hureys followed her and asked her about hisasws words. She ratified himasws. Amro said, ‘Do you see himasws as a sorcerer, or a sooth-sayer or one served (by the Jinn)?’ She said, ‘Evil is what you are saying, O servant of Allahazwj! But, heasws is from the Peopleasws of the Household of the Prophet-hood’.

فَأَقْبَلَ ابْنُ حُرَيْثٍ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِمَقَالِهِمَا فَقَالَ ع لَقَدْ كَانَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ أَحْسَنَ قَوْلًا مِنْكَ‏.

Ibn Hureys came back to Amir Al-Momineenasws and informed himasws with her words. Heasws said; ‘The woman was of better words than you are’’.⁴⁴⁵

(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – Muhammad Bin Al Muzaffer, from Ja’far Bim Muhammad Al Hasany, from Idrees Bin Ziyad, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from Sudeyr Al Makky who said,

‘It is narrated to me by Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws, and I have not seen any Mohammedan at all who can equate himasws. Heasws said: ‘It is narrated to measws by Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari saying, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww called out among the Emigrants and the Helpers, so they presented with the weapons, and the Prophetsaww ascended the pulpit. Hesaww praised Allahazwj and extolled upon Himazwj, then said: ‘O community of Muslims! One who hates usasws Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would Resurrect him on the Day of Qiyamah as a Jew!’

قَالَ جَابِرٌ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَ إِنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَإِنَّمَا احْتَجَزَ مِنْ سَفْكِ دَمِهِ أَوْ يُؤَدِّيَ الْجِزْيَةَ عَنْ يَدٍ وَ هُوَ صَاغِرٌ

Jabir said, ‘I stood up to himsaww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! And even if he testifies that there is no god except Allahazwj and that Muhammadsaww is Rasoolsaww of Allahazwj?’ Hesaww said: ‘And even if he testifies that there is no god except Allahazwj, for rather he has equipped from his blood being spilt, or paying the taxes from a hand and he is belittled’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَهُودِيّاً فَإِنْ أَدْرَكَ الدَّجَّالَ كَانَ مَعَهُ وَ إِنْ هُوَ لَمْ يُدْرِكْهُ بُعِثَ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَآمَنَ بِهِ

Then hesaww said: ‘One who hates usasws Peopleasws of the Household, Allahazwj would Resurrect him on the Day of Qiyamah as a Jew. If he were to come across Al-Dajjalla, he would be with himla, and if he does not come across himla, he would be Resurrected in his grave and believe in himla.

إِنَّ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَثَّلَ لِي أُمَّتِي فِي الطِّينِ وَ عَلَّمَنِي أَسْمَاءَهُمْ كَمَا عَلَّمَ آدَمَ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا فَمَرَّ بِي أَصْحَابُ الرَّايَاتِ فَاسْتَغْفَرْتُ اللَّهَ لِعَلِيٍّ وَ شِيعَتِهِ

Mysaww Lordazwj Mighty and Majestic Resembled mysaww community for mesaww in the clay, and Taught mesaww their names just as Heazwj has Taught Adamas the names, all of them. The bearers of the flags passed by mesaww, so Isaww sought Forgiveness of Allahazwj for Aliasws and hisasws Shias’.

قَالَ حَنَانُ بْنُ سَدِيرٍ فَعَرَضْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع‏ فَقَالَ لِي أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ سُدَيْفٍ فَقُلْتُ اللَّيْلَةُ سَبْعٌ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَا ظَنَنْتُهُ مِنْ فِي أَبِي إِلَى أَحَدٍ.

Hanan Bin Sadeyr (the narrator) said, ‘I presented this Hadeeth to Abu Abdullah Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws. Heasws said to me: ‘You hear this from Sudeyf?’ I said, ‘It has been seven nights since I heard it from him’. Heasws said: ‘This Hadeeth, Iasws did not think is from the mouth of myasws fatherasws to anyone else (but him)’’.⁴⁴⁶

And from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator),

‘From himsaww: ‘What is the matter with a people hurting mysaww lineage, and the ones with mysaww relationship? Indeed! One who hurts mysaww lineage and ones with mysaww relationship, so he has hurt mesaww, and one who hurts mesaww, so he has hurt Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic’’.⁴⁵⁰

And from Abbas son of Abdul Muttalibasws, from himsaww: ‘What is the matter with a people discussing, and when they see the man from the Peopleasws of mysaww Household, they cut off their discussion.

And it is reported by Al Bursy in (the book) ‘Mashariq Al Anwaar’, from the book ‘Al Waahida’, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Hater of Aliasws would exit from his grace and in his neck would be a yoke of fire, and upon his head would be satansla cursing him until he arrives at the pausing station’’.⁴⁵²

From the book ‘Al Basair’ – from Abu Jubeyr, from Ibn Abbas,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The adversary of Aliasws after mesaww is a Kafir, and the doubter in himasws is an associator (Mushrik), away from himasws, and the one loving himasws is a Momin, truthful, and the hater to himasws is a hypocrite, and the battler to himasws is a renegade, and the rejecter upon himasws is a vanishing one, and the tracker (pursuer) of hisasws traces would join up’’.⁴⁵³

23- وَ رَوَى ابْنُ بِطْرِيقٍ فِي الْعُمْدَةِ عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ الثَّعْلَبِيِ‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ عُلِّمْنا مَنْطِقَ الطَّيْرِ قَالَ تَقُولُ الْقُبَّرَةُ فِي صِيَاحِهَا اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ بَاغِضَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ‏.

And it is reported by Ibn Batreeq in (the book) ‘Al Umdah’, from Tafseer Al Sa’alby (non-Shia source),

‘Regarding Words of the Exalted: ‘O you people! We have been Taught the speech of the birds, [27:16]. He said, ‘The graves say to their counterparts, ‘O Allahazwj! Curse the haters to Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww!’’⁴⁵⁴ (Not a Hadeeth)

24- وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً مِنْ كِتَابِ فَضَائِلِ الصَّحَابَةِ لِلسَّمْعَانِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِعَرَفَاتٍ وَ أَنَا وَ عَلِيٌّ ع عِنْدَهُ فَأَوْمَأَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ ضَعْ خَمْسَكَ فِي خَمْسِي يَعْنِي كَفَّكَ فِي كَفِّي يَا عَلِيُّ خُلِقْتُ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ أَنَا أَصْلُهَا وَ أَنْتَ فَرْعُهَا وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ أَغْصَانُهَا فَمَنْ تَعَلَّقَ بِغُصْنٍ مِنْ أَغْصَانِهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ

And it is reports as well from the book ‘Fazail Al Sahaba’ of Al Sam’any, by his chain from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari who said,

‘The Prophetsaww was at Arafaat, and I and Aliasws were with himsaww. The Prophetsaww gestured towards Aliasws and said: ‘O Aliasws! Place your five in mysaww five’ – meaning yourasws palm in mysaww palm – ‘O Aliasws! Isaww and youasws have been Created from (one) tree. Isaww am its origin (root) and yourasws are its trunk, and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws are its branches. The one who attached with a branch from its branches would enter the Paradise’.

يَا عَلِيُّ لَوْ أَنَّ أُمَّتِي صَامُوا حَتَّى يَكُونُوا كَالْحَنَايَا وَ صَلُّوا حَتَّى يَكُونُوا كَالْأَوْتَارِ ثُمَّ أَبْغَضُوكَ لَأَكَبَّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَلَى وُجُوهِهِمْ فِي النَّارِ.

O Aliasws! Even if mysaww community were to Fast until they become like the bent bow, and they pray Salat until they become like the strings, then they hate youasws, Allahazwj will Fling them upon their faces into the Fire’’.⁴⁵⁵

25- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الْفِرْدَوْسِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ ثَلَاثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَ لَا أَنَا مِنْهُ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ عَلِيّاً وَ نَصَبَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ مَنْ قَالَ الْإِيمَانُ كَلَامٌ.

And by his chain to Al Firdows, by his chain from Jabir Bin Abdullah who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Three (characteristics) one who has these in him, so he isn’t from mesaww nor am Isaww from him – One who hates Aliasws, and establishes hostility to Peopleasws of mysaww Household, and one who says that the Eman is speech’’.⁴⁵⁶

26- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ سَبَّ عَلِيّاً فَقَدْ سَبَّنِي وَ مَنْ سَبَّنِي فَقَدْ سَبَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَنْ سَبَّ اللَّهَ أُدْخِلَ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ وَ لَهُ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

And by his chain from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who reviles Aliasws so he has reviled mesaww, and one who reviles mesaww so he has reviled Allahazwj, and one who reviles Allahazwj would enter into the Fire of Hell, and for him would be a mighty Punishment’’.⁴⁵⁷

And it is narrated to me by Al Sulamy, from Al Atky, from Ahmad Bin Ja’far Al Mowhary, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Maruzy, from Al Hassan in Shabeeb, from Khalaf Bin Abu Haroun Al Abdy who said,

‘I was seated in the presence of Abdullah Bin Umar and Nafau Bin Al-Azraq came and said, ‘By Allahazwj! I hate Aliasws!’ Ibn Umar raised his head and said, ‘May Allahazwj Hate you! Woe be unto you! Are you hating a man from whom preceded the preceding good of the world with whatever is in it?’’⁴⁵⁹

‘I was in the presence of the Prophetsaww when Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws came. The Prophetsaww said: ‘Do you know who this is?’ I said, ‘This is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’. The Prophetsaww said: ‘This is the ocean of treasure, this is the emerging sun, the most generous of palm than the Euphrates, and most capacious heart than the world. The one who hates himasws, upon him is the Curse of Allahazwj’’.⁴⁶⁰

‘Ziyad gathered us in Al-Rahba and Al-Rahba was filled with us, and the castle, and he carried us upon reviling Aliasws, and the disavowment from himasws, and the people were indulging in a grievous matter.

My father said, ‘I shook my head from a little nap and there was something, a tall man or ruffled hair with long lips, drooping from the sky to the earth. I panicked and said, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am the reviewer with the (long) neck. Your Lordazwj has Sent me to the owner of this castle’. I woke up and narrated it to my companions. They said, ‘You are insane’. So, we were relieved from the proclaimer going out. He said, ‘Leave, for the Emir is busy for the paralysis has struck him.

‘I was resting by the booth and Khalid Bin Abdul Malik was upon the pulpit addressing and he was hurting Aliasws in his sermon. The sleep seized me and I saw the grave to have been split and an emerging one coming out from it. He said, ‘You hurt Rasool-Allahsaww, may Allahazwj Curse you!

‘From Zayd son of Aliasws (Bin Al-Husaynasws), from his fatherasws, from his grandfatherasws, from Amir Al-Momineenasws having said: ‘Iasws entered to see the Prophetsaww and hesaww was in one hissaww chambers. Iasws sought permission to see himsaww. Hesaww permitted for mesaww. When Iasws entered, hesaww said to measws: ‘Do youasws not know that mysaww house is yourasws house, so what is the matter youasws sought permission to see mesaww?’

فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَحْبَبْتَ مَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ وَ أَخَذْتَ بِآدَابِ اللَّهِ يَا عَلِيُّ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ‏ أَنَّهُ أَبَى خَالِقِي وَ رَازِقِي أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي سِرٌّ دُونَكَ

Iasws said: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Iasws loved to do that’. Hesaww said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws loved what Allahazwj Loves, and took with the Education of Allahazwj. O Aliasws! Do youasws not know that mysaww Creator and Sustainer Refused for there should not happen to be any secret for mesaww besides youasws?

يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَصِيِّي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَ أَنْتَ الْمَظْلُومُ الْمُضْطَهَدُ بَعْدِي يَا عَلِيُّ الثَّابِتُ عَلَيْكَ كَالْمُقِيمِ مَعِي وَ مُفَارِقُكَ مُفَارِقِي يَا عَلِيُّ كَذَبَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّنِي وَ يُبْغِضُكَ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَنِي وَ إِيَّاكَ مِنْ نُورٍ وَاحِدٍ.

O Aliasws! Youasws are mysaww successorasws from after mesaww, and youasws are the oppressed and persecuted after mesaww. O Aliasws! The one steadfast upon youasws is like the one standing with mesaww, and one separating from youasws separates from meazwj. O Aliasws! He lies, the one who claims that he loves mesaww and hates youasws, because Allahazwj the Exalted Created mesaww and youasws from one Noor (light)’’.⁴⁶⁹

Heasws said: ‘The blood is Permissible (but) Iasws fear upon you, so if you are able upon overturning a wall upon him, or drown him in water, if there is no witness with it against you, then do so’.

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – One of our companions, Muhammad Bin Ali or someone else, raising it, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Did Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yaman used to recognise the hypocrites?’

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ‏ كَانَ يَعْرِفُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا وَ أَنْتَ‏ تَعْرِفُ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ أَلْفَ رَجُلٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ‏ لَتَعْرِفَنَّهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ‏ فَهَلْ تَدْرِي مَا لَحْنُ الْقَوْلِ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ قَالَ بُغْضُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.

Heasws said: ‘He was a man who recognised twelve men (plotting to kill Rasool-Allahsaww at Aqabah), and you (Shias) can recognise twelve thousand men. Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted is Saying: ‘and you can (already) recognise them by their tone of speech, [47:30]. Do you know what is the tone of speech?’ I said, ‘No, by Allahazwj!’ Heasws said: ‘Hatred for Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, by the Lordazwj of Kabah!’’⁴⁸⁷

57- وَ رُوِيَ فِي الْمَجْمَعِ، عَنِ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: لَحْنُ الْقَوْلِ بُغْضُهُمْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ وَ كُنَّا نَعْرِفُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِبُغْضِهِمْ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

And it is reported in (the book) ‘Al Majmua’, from Al Khudry who said,

‘The tone of speech is their hatred of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. He said, ‘We used to recognise the hypocrites in the ear of Rasool-Allahazwj by their hatred towards Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

وَ رُوِيَ مِثْلُهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ وَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ مَا خَفِيَ مُنَافِقٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ.

And similar to it is reported from Jabir. And Anas (well-known fabricator) said, ‘A hypocrite was not hidden in the era of Rasool-Allahsaww after this Verse (47:30)’’.⁴⁸⁸

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – My father, from Al Nazar, from Yahya Bin Imran Al Halby, form Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘What is yourasws view of the one who rejects to me this matter, is he like the rejecter to you (Imamsasws)?’ Heasws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! One who rejects this matter upon you, is like the rejecter upon Rasool-Allahsaww’’.⁴⁸⁹

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – My father, from Al Nazar, from Yahya Al Halby, from Abu Al Magra’a, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘On who establishes a war to Aliasws would be like the one who establishes (war) to Rasool-Allahsaww?’

فَقَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَكَ أَنْتَ لَا يَنْصِبُ لَكَ إِلَّا عَلَى هَذَا الدِّينِ كَمَا كَانَ نَصَبَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏.

Heasws said: ‘Yes, by Allahazwj! And the one who is hostile to you (Shias). You will not be hostile against except upon this Religion, just as they had been hostile to Rasool-Allahsaww’’.⁴⁹⁰

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Ibn Yazeed, from Al Mubarik, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Hameeda, from Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The neglecters of the Wilayah of Aliasws are like the deniers to hisasws merits, the backers of hisasws enemies, they are outside from Al-Islam, one from whom who dies upon that’’.⁴⁹¹

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashub –

‘Al-Baqirasws was asked about this Verse. Heasws said: ‘They will be paused and questioned: What is the matter with you that you are not helping each other? [37:25], in the Hereafter just as they used to support each other in the world against Aliasws’.

قَالَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ‏ بَلْ هُمُ الْيَوْمَ مُسْتَسْلِمُونَ‏ فَأَقْبَلَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَلى‏ بَعْضٍ يَتَلاوَمُونَ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ كَالْمُجْرِمِينَ‏.

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Says: But they, on the Day, would be submissive [37:26] And some of them would advance towards others, blaming each other [37:27] – up to Hisazwj Words: the Criminals [37:34]’’.⁴⁹²

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Umar Al Tayalisi,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked himasws about the Words of Allahazwj: And do not insult those who are supplicating to the ones besides Allah so they would (in retaliation) be insulting Allah in enmity, without knowledge [6:108], so the Imamasws said: ‘O Umar! Have you ever seen anyone abuse Allahazwj?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws, then how?’ Heasws said: ‘The one who abuses the Guardian (Imamsasws) (Appointed by) Allahazwj so he has abused Allahazwj’’.⁴⁹³

‘From Al-Rezaasws having said: ‘The Prophetsaww ascended the pulpit.

So, Isaww have become due to that foremost with them than their own fathers and their mothers, and became foremost with them than their own selves, and like that is Amir Al-Momineenasws after himsaww. That flows for himasws similar to what flowed for Rasool-Allahsaww’’.⁵⁰³

Tafseer Al-Qummi - The Prophet is foremost with the Momineen than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers [33:6]. He said, ‘It was Revealed, ‘And hesaww is a father to them’, and the meaning of, ‘And hissaww wives are their mothers’, so Allahazwj Made the Momineen to be the children of Rasool-Allahsaww, and Made Rasool-Allahsaww a father to them, to the one who is not able upon protecting himself and there does not happen to be any wealth for him, and there isn’t any wilayah (governance) upon him, so Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Made Hisazwj Prophetsaww foremost with the Momineen than their own selves. (This paragraph is not Hadeeth)

وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَ لَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ قَالُوا بَلَى

And it is the word of Rasool-Allahsaww at Ghadeer Khumm: ‘O you people! Am Isaww not foremost with you all than your own selves?’ They said, ‘Yes’’.

ثُمَّ أَوْجَبَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَا أَوْجَبَهُ لِنَفْسِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْوَلَايَةِ فَقَالَ أَلَا مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ

Then hesaww obligated for Amir Al-Momineenasws what had been Obligated for himselfsaww upon them of the Wilayah. Hesaww said: ‘Indeed! One whose Master Isaww was, so Aliasws is his Master’. (This paragraph is not Hadeeth)

فَلَمَّا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيَّ ص أَبَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ أَلْزَمَهُ مَئُونَتَهُمْ وَ تَرْبِيَةَ أَيْتَامِهِمْ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْناً أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَعَلَيَّ وَ إِلَيَّ

When Allahazwj Made the Prophetsaww a father of the Momineen, Obliged supporting them and nourishing their orphans. During that, Rasool-Allahsaww ascended (the pulpit) and said: ‘One who leaves wealth so it is for his inheritors, and one leaves debts or estate, so it is upon mesaww and to mesaww’.

فَأَلْزَمَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا يُلْزِمُ الْوَالِدَ لِلْوَلَدِ وَ أَلْزَمَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ لَهُ مَا يُلْزِمُ الْوَلَدَ لِلْوَالِدِ

Allahazwj Obliged Hisazwj Prophetsaww for the Momineen what is obliges the father for the children, and obliged the Momineenasws to be obedient to himsaww of what obliges the child to the parent. (This paragraph is not Hadeeth)

فَكَذَلِكَ أَلْزَمَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَلْزَمَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ بَعْدَهُ الْأَئِمَّةَ وَاحِداً وَاحِداً وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع هُمَا الْوَالِدَانِ قَوْلُهُ‏ وَ اعْبُدُوا اللَّهَ وَ لا تُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئاً وَ بِالْوالِدَيْنِ إِحْساناً فَالْوَالِدَانِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع

Similar to that, it Obliges Amir Al-Momineenasws from that what obliged Rasool-Allahsaww, and after himasws the Imamsasws, one by one, and the evidence upon that is that Rasool-Allahsaww and Amir Al Momineenasws are the two fathers. Hisazwj Words: And worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him and be good with the parents [4:36]. So, the parents are Rasool-Allahsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws.

And Al-Sadiqasws said: ‘And such was the conversion to Islam of the generality of the Jews, because they believed upon themselves and their dependants’’.⁵⁰⁴

(The book) Al Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed,

‘From Al-Sadiqasws: ‘The Prophetsaww said in a sermon at Mina: ‘O you people! One who leaves wealth, so it is for his family and for his inheritors, and one who leaves dependants or estates, so it is upon mesaww and to mesaww’’.⁵⁰⁵

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Hammad bin Usman, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws, ‘What is the right of the Imamasws upon the people?’ Heasws said: ‘Hisasws right is that they listen to himasws, and obey’.

قُلْتُ فَمَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ يُقَسِّمُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ يَعْدِلُ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي النَّاسِ فَلَا يُبَالِي مَنْ أَخَذَ هَاهُنَا وَ هَاهُنَا.

I said, ‘So what is their right upon himasws: ‘Heasws said: ‘Heasws should distribute between them with the equality and dispense justice among the citizens. So, when it would be that among the people, then it does not matter if one takes from here and there’’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَ هَكَذَا وَ هَكَذَا يَعْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ‏.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ibn Bazie, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Hamza,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws – similar to it, except that heasws said: ‘Like this, and like this, and like this!’ – meaning from hisasws front, and from behind himasws, and hisasws right, and from hisasws left’’.

عن أمير المؤمنين صلوات الله عليه بسبب ذلك‏ حيث سوى بين الرؤساء و الضعفاء في العطاء.

From Amir Al-Momineenasws with that reason where heasws equated between the chiefs and the weak one regarding the awards.⁵⁰⁶

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from one of our companions, from Haroun, from Ibn Sadaqah,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Neither betray your leaders nor deceive your guides, nor be ignorant of your Imamsasws, nor crack your unity for you will fail and your power will go away, and upon this, so let the foundation of your affairs be upon this, and necessitate this way, for if you all were to witness what was witnessed by the ones who opposed you who have died, what they had been called to, you would rush and come out and listen, but it is veiled from you what they had witnessed, and very soon the veil would be put away’’.⁵⁰⁷

6- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ نُعِيَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص نَفْسُهُ وَ هُوَ صَحِيحٌ لَيْسَ بِهِ وَجَعٌ قَالَ‏ نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ‏ قَالَ فَنَادَى ع الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً وَ أَمَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارَ بِالسِّلَاحِ فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, and someone else, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr 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. So hesaww called for the congregational Salat and ordered the Emigrants and the Helpers with the weapons (to be ready). And the people gathered.

فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْمِنْبَرَ 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 so he would 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’.

ثُمَّ 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’’.⁵⁰⁸

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Ali, and someone else from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from a man from Habeeb Bin Abu Sabit who said,

‘There came to Amir Al-Momineenasws, honey and figs from Hamdan, and gifts. Heasws ordered the officers that they should bring the orphans. Heasws enabled them from top for the tasting. They were licking it and heasws was distribution to the people, cup by cup. It was said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! What is for them that they should be licking it?’ Heasws said: ‘The Imamasws is a father of the orphans, and rather this treat of theirs is due to the care of the father’’.⁵⁰⁹

8- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ وَ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْأَصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنِ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ: أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَوْلَى بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِي فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ ص مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْناً أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَعَلَيَّ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَالًا فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from al Barqy and Ali, from his father, altogether from Al Asbahany, from Al Minqary, from Sufyan Bin Uyayna,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws that the Prophetsaww said: ‘‘Iasws am closer with every Momin than his own self, and Aliasws is the closest with it from after mesaww’. It was said to himasws, ‘What is the meaning of that?’ Heasws said: ‘The words of the Prophetsaww: ‘The one who leaves debts or losses, so it is upon mesaww, and the one who leaves wealth, so is it for his inheritors’.

فَالرَّجُلُ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ وَلَايَةٌ عَلَى‏ نَفْسِهِ‏ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ وَ لَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ أَمْرٌ وَ لَا نَهْيٌ إِذَا لَمْ يُجْرِ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّفَقَةَ وَ النَّبِيُّ وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مَنْ بَعْدَهُمَا أَلْزَمَهُمْ هَذَا

Thus, the man is such that there isn’t an authority upon himself when there does not happen to be any wealth for him, and there isn’t any authority for him upon his dependants nor any forbidding when he does not cause the expenses to flow upon them. And the Prophetsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws, and theirasws successorsasws have made it (providing maintenance) a binding upon themselves.

فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ صَارُوا أَوْلَى بِهِمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ مَا كَانَ سَبَبُ إِسْلَامِ عَامَّةِ الْيَهُودِ إِلَّا مِنْ بَعْدِ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ عِيَالاتِهِمْ‏.

For this reason, they have a greater authority over them than their own selves. The general masses of the Jews accepted Islam only after these words of Rasool-Allahsaww. They found peace for themselves and for their dependents’’.⁵¹⁰

9- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ صَبَّاحِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُسْلِمٍ مَاتَ وَ تَرَكَ دَيْناً لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي فَسَادٍ وَ لَا إِسْرَافٍ فَعَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْضِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ إِثْمُ ذَلِكَ

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban Bin Usman, from Sabbah Bin Sayaba,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Whichever Momin or Muslim dies and leaves debts which do not happen to be regarding corruption or extravagance, so it is upon the Imamasws that heasws fulfils it. Therefore, if heasws does not fulfil it, the sin of that would be upon himasws.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقاتُ لِلْفُقَراءِ وَ الْمَساكِينِ‏ الْآيَةَ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْغَارِمِينَ وَ لَهُ سَهْمٌ عِنْدَ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنْ حَبَسَهُ‏ فَإِثْمُهُ عَلَيْهِ‏.

Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted is Saying: But rather, the charities are for the poor and the needy, [9:60] – the Verse. So, he is from the debtors, and for him would be a share with the Imamasws, and if heasws were to withhold it, so its sin would be upon himasws’’.⁵¹¹

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from hanan, from his father,

‘From Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Imamate is not correct except for a man in whom there are three characteristics – piety detaining himasws from disobeying Allahazwj, and forbearance heasws can control hisasws anger with, and good guardianship upon the ones heasws rules over until heasws happens to be like the merciful father to them’’.⁵¹²

11- كا، الكافي عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ طَبَرِسْتَانَ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ لَقِيتُ الطَّبَرِيَّ مُحَمَّداً بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَأَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى ع يَقُولُ‏ الْمُغْرَمُ إِذَا تَدَيَّنَ أَوْ اسْتَدَانَ فِي حَقٍّ الْوَهْمُ مِنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ أُجِّلَ سَنَةً فَإِنِ اتَّسَعَ وَ إِلَّا قَضَى عَنْهُ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl, from Muawiya Bin Hukeym, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from a man from Tayristan called Muhammad who said, ‘Muawiya said, and met Al Tabari Muhammad after that, and he informed me saying,

‘I heard Aliasws Bin Musaasws saying: ‘The debtor, when he lends a loan’, or ‘borrows regarding a right’ - the uncertainty if from Muawiya (the narrator), ‘he will be given one year’s time to pay. If he still cannot pay the Imamasws would fulfil it on his behalf from the Public Treasury’’.⁵¹³

12- نهج، نهج البلاغة قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي بَعْضِ خُطَبِهِ‏ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ حَقّاً وَ لَكُمْ عَلَيَّ حَقٌّ فَأَمَّا حَقُّكُمْ عَلَيَّ فَالنَّصِيحَةُ لَكُمْ وَ تَوْفِيرُ فَيْئِكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ تَعْلِيمُكُمْ كَيْ لَا تَجْهَلُوا وَ تَأْدِيبُكُمْ كَيْ مَا تَعْلَمُوا

(The book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ –

Amir Al-Momineenasws said in one of hisasws sermons: ‘O you people! There is a right for measws upon you all, and there is a right for you all upon measws. As for your right upon measws, it is the counselling you, and fulfil your war booty upon you, and teach you so that you would not be ignorant, and educate you lest you do not know.

وَ أَمَّا حَقِّي عَلَيْكُمْ فَالْوَفَاءُ بِالْبَيْعَةِ وَ النَّصِيحَةُ فِي الْمَشْهَدِ وَ الْمَغِيبِ وَ الْإِجَابَةُ حِينَ أَدْعُوكُمْ وَ الطَّاعَةُ حِينَ آمُرُكُمْ‏.

And as for myasws right upon you, it is the loyalty with the allegiance, and the advice among the ones present and the absentees, and the answering when Iasws call you, and the obedience when Iasws instruct you’’.⁵¹⁴

13- وَ قَالَ ع‏ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا الْعَمَلُ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ سِيرَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْقِيَامُ بِحَقِّهِ وَ النَّعْشُ‏ لِسُنَّتِهِ‏.

And heasws said: ‘For you, upon usasws, is the acting by the Book of Allahazwj the Exalted, and the way of Rasool-Allahsaww, and the standing with hissaww right, and establishing of hissaww Sunnah’’.⁵¹⁵

14- وَ مِنْ خُطْبَةٍ لَهُ ع خَطَبَهَا بِصِفِّينَ‏ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَقَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِي عَلَيْكُمْ حَقّاً بِوِلَايَةِ أَمْرِكُمْ وَ لَكُمْ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مِثْلُ الَّذِي لِي عَلَيْكُمْ

And from a sermon of hisasws heasws addressed at (the battle of) Siffeen: ‘As for after, Allahazwj has Made a right to be for measws upon you all with the Wilayah (governance) of your affairs, but there is the right (for you) upon measws similar to that which is for measws upon you.

فَالْحَقُ‏ أَوْسَعُ الْأَشْيَاءِ فِي التَّوَاصُفِ‏ وَ أَضْيَقُهَا فِي التَّنَاصُفِ‏ لَا يَجْرِي لِأَحَدٍ إِلَّا جَرَى عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا يَجْرِي عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَرَى لَهُ

The truth is the vastest of the things in description and narrowest in the fairness of action. It does not flow for anyone except it flows against him (as well), nor does it flow against except it flows for him (as well).

وَ لَوْ كَانَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَجْرِيَ لَهُ وَ لَا يَجْرِيَ عَلَيْهِ لَكَانَ ذَلِكَ خَالِصاً لِلَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ دُونَ خَلْقِهِ لِقُدْرَتِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ لِعَدْلِهِ فِي كُلِّ مَا جَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ صُرُوفُ قَضَائِهِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ جَعَلَ حَقَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ أَنْ يُطِيعُوهُ وَ جَعَلَ جَزَاءَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مُضَاعَفَةَ الثَّوَابِ تَفَضُّلًا مِنْهُ وَ تَوَسُّعاً بِمَا هُوَ مِنَ الْمَزِيدِ أَهْلُهُ

And had it been for anyone that if flows for him and does not flow against him, that would be purely for Allahazwj the Glorious besides Hisazwj creatures for Hisazwj Power over Hisazwj servants and for Hisazwj Justice in all what flows against him variety of Hisazwj Judgments, but Hesaww Made Hisazwj right to be upon the servant that they should obey Himazwj and Made their Recompenses to be upon it, multiple Rewards as a Grace from Himazwj and vastness with what Heazwj is rightful of the increase.

ثُمَّ جَعَلَ سُبْحَانَهُ مِنْ حُقُوقِهِ حُقُوقاً افْتَرَضَهَا لِبَعْضِ النَّاسِ عَلَى بَعْضٍ فَجَعَلَهَا تَتَكَافَأُ فِي وُجُوهِهَا وَ يُوجِبُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً وَ لَا يُسْتَوْجَبُ بَعْضُهَا إِلَّا بِبَعْضٍ وَ أَعْظَمُ مَا افْتَرَضَ سُبْحَانَهُ‏ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْحُقُوقِ حَقُّ الْوَالِي عَلَى الرَّعِيَّةِ وَ حَقُّ الرَّعِيَّةِ عَلَى الْوَالِي فَرِيضَةٌ فَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ لِكُلٍّ عَلَى كُلٍّ

Then Heazwj the Glorious Made rights from Hisazwj rights Obligation some of the people upon the others. Heazwj Made these as sufficing in its aspects, and Obligating each other, and part of it is not Obligatory except by part, and the greatest of what the Glorious Obligated from those rights is the right of the ruler upon the citizens, and right of the citizens upon the ruler, being an Obligation Obligated by Allahazwj the Glorious, for every one upon every one.

فَجَعَلَهَا نِظَاماً لِأُلْفَتِهِمْ وَ عِزّاً لِدِينِهِمْ فَلَيْسَتْ تَصْلُحُ الرَّعِيَّةُ إِلَّا بِصَلَاحِ الْوُلَاةِ وَ لَا تَصْلُحُ الْوُلَاةُ إِلَّا بِاسْتِقَامَةِ الرَّعِيَّةِ فَإِذَا أَدَّتِ الرَّعِيَّةُ إِلَى الْوَالِي حَقَّهُ وَ أَدَّى الْوَالِي إِلَيْهَا حَقَّهَا عَزَّ الْحَقُّ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ قَامَتْ مَنَاهِجُ الدِّينِ وَ اعْتَدَلَتْ مَعَالِمُ الْعَدْلِ وَ جَرَتْ عَلَى أَذْلَالِهَا السُّنَنُ

Heazwj Made these to be a system as a kindness to them and honour of their Religion. Thus, the citizens cannot be correct except by the correct ruler, nor can the ruler be correct except by the steadfastness of the citizens. So, when the citizens fulfil to the ruler his right and the ruler fulfils to them of their rights, the truth would be honour between them, and the manifesto of the Religion would stand, and the affairs of justice would be judicial, and the flow of the Sunnah would flow upon them.

فَصَلُحَ بِذَلِكَ الزَّمَانُ وَ طُمِعَ فِي بَقَاءِ الدَّوْلَةِ وَ يَئِسَتْ مَطَامِعُ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ إِذَا غَلَبَتِ الرَّعِيَّةُ وَالِيَهَا أَوْ أَجْحَفَ الْوَالِي بِرَعِيَّتِهِ اخْتَلَفَتْ هُنَالِكَ الْكَلِمَةُ وَ ظَهَرَتْ مَعَالِمُ الْجَوْرِ وَ كَثُرَ الْإِدْغَالُ فِي الدِّينِ وَ تُرِكَتْ مَحَاجُّ السُّنَنِ‏

Thus, by that, the times would be correct and there would be a convection in the lasting of the government, and the greed of the enemies would be despaired of. When the citizens overcome upon its ruler, or the ruler suppresses his citizens, the word would differ over there and the affairs of tyranny would appear, and mischief in the Religion would be frequent, and the middle way of the Sunnah would be neglected.

فَعُمِلَ بِالْهَوَى وَ عُطِّلَتِ الْأَحْكَامُ وَ كَثُرَتْ عِلَلُ النُّفُوسِ فَلَا يُسْتَوْحَشُ لِعَظِيمِ حَقٍّ عُطِّلَ وَ لَا لِعَظِيمِ بَاطِلٍ فُعِلَ فَهُنَالِكَ تَذِلُّ الْأَبْرَارُ وَ تَعِزُّ الْأَشْرَارُ وَ تَعْظُمُ تَبِعَاتُ اللَّهِ عِنْدَ الْعِبَادِ

So, they would work with the whims, and suspend the rulings, and the illnesses of the soul would be abundant. There would be no fear of suspending greater rights nor doing greater wrongs. Over there, the righteous would be humiliated and the evil ones would be honoured, and there would be great repercussions of Allahazwj with the servants.

فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِالتَّنَاصُحِ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ حُسْنِ التَّعَاوُنِ عَلَيْهِ فَلَيْسَ أَحَدٌ وَ إِنِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَى رِضَا اللَّهِ حِرْصُهُ وَ طَالَ فِي الْعَمَلِ اجْتِهَادُهُ بِبَالِغٍ حَقِيقَةَ مَا اللَّهُ أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ لَهُ وَ لَكِنْ مِنْ وَاجِبِ حُقُوقِ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ النَّصِيحَةُ بِمَبْلَغِ جُهْدِهِمْ وَ التَّعَاوُنُ عَلَى إِقَامَةِ الْحَقِّ بَيْنَهُمْ

Upon you is to be with counselling each other during that, and goodly support upon it. There isn’t anyone, and even if he is intensely eager upon pleasing Allahazwj, and prolongs his struggle in the deeds, to be able to reach the reality of what Allahazwj is Rightful of, from the obedience to Himazwj. But, from the Obligatory rights of Allahazwj upon the servants is the council to the extent of their efforts, and co-operating with each other upon establishment of the truth between them.

وَ لَيْسَ امْرُؤٌ وَ إِنْ عَظُمَتْ فِي الْحَقِّ مَنْزِلَتُهُ وَ تَقَدَّمَتْ فِي الدِّينِ فَضِيلَتُهُ بِفَوْقِ أَنْ يُعَانَ عَلَى مَا حَمَّلَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ حَقِّهِ وَ لَا امْرُؤٌ وَ إِنْ صَغَّرَتْهُ النُّفُوسُ وَ اقْتَحَمَتْهُ الْعُيُونُ بِدُونِ أَنْ يُعِينَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَوْ يُعَانَ عَلَيْهِ

There isn’t any person, and even if he is great of status regarding the truth, and advanced in his merit of the Religion, to be above from co-operating (with others) upon what Allahazwj has Loaded upon him of Hisazwj Rights, nor is there any person, and even if the people have belittled him, and the eyes have humbled him, to be below from co-operating upon that, or assisting upon it.’.

فَأَجَابَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ بِكَلَامٍ طَوِيلٍ يُكْثِرُ فِيهِ الثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَذْكُرُ سَمْعَهُ وَ طَاعَتَهُ لَهُ

A man from hisasws companions answered him with a long speech, frequenting the praise upon himasws in it, and mentioning his listening and obedience to himasws.

فَقَالَ ع إِنَّ مِنْ حَقِّ مَنْ عَظُمَ جَلَالُ اللَّهِ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ جَلَّ مَوْضِعُهُ مِنْ قَلْبِهِ أَنْ يَصْغُرَ عِنْدَهُ لِعِظَمِ ذَلِكَ كُلُّ مَا سِوَاهُ وَ إِنَّ أَحَقَّ مَنْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ لَمَنْ عَظُمَتْ‏ نِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ‏ وَ لَطُفَ إِحْسَانُهُ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ تَعْظُمْ نِعْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ إِلَّا ازْدَادَ حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عِظَماً

Heasws said: ‘Surely, from a right is that one should magnify the Majesty of Allahazwj within himself, and Majesty of Hisazwj Position from him, that he should belittle in his presence all what is besides it, and that the most rightful is one who was like that to the one who revered the Attributes of Allahazwj unto him, and Kindness of Hisazwj favours to him, for the one who does not revere the Attributes of Allahazwj upon anyone except it would increase the reverence of rights of Allahazwj upon him.

وَ إِنَّ مِنْ أَسْخَفِ حَالاتِ الْوُلَاةِ عِنْدَ صَالِحِ النَّاسِ أَنْ يُظَنَّ بِهِمْ حُبُّ الْفَخْرِ وَ يُوضَعَ أَمْرُهُمْ عَلَى الْكِبْرِ وَ قَدْ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ جَالَ فِي ظَنِّكُمْ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ الْإِطْرَاءَ وَ اسْتِمَاعَ الثَّنَاءِ وَ لَسْتُ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ كَذَلِكَ وَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ يُقَالَ ذَلِكَ لَتَرَكْتُهُ انْحِطَاطاً لِلَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ عَنْ تَنَاوُلِ مَا هُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ مِنَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ

The most absurd of the states of the ruler in the presence of the righteous people is that he thinks with them loving the pride and places their affairs upon the arrogance. And Iasws have disliked that there should be roaming in your thoughts that Iasws love the listening to the eulogies and the praises, but Iasws do not like that, by the praise of Allahazwj. And if Iasws had loved for that to be said, Iasws would have neglected it in submissiveness to Allahazwj the Glorious from taking what Heazwj is more rightful with it, of the Magnificence and the Sublimeness.

وَ رُبَّمَا اسْتَحْلَى النَّاسُ الثَّنَاءَ بَعْدَ الْبَلَاءِ فَلَا تُثْنُوا عَلَيَّ بِجَمِيلِ ثَنَاءٍ لِإِخْرَاجِي نَفْسِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ التَّقِيَّةِ فِي حُقُوقٍ لَمْ أَفْرُغْ مِنْ أَدَائِهَا وَ فَرَائِضَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ إِمْضَائِهَا

And sometimes the people release the praises after the afflictions, so you should not extol praises upon measws with the beautiful praises of myasws extracting myselfasws to Allahazwj and to you all of the dissimulation (Taqiyyah) regarding the rights Iasws could not be free from fulfilling these, and the Obligations there was no escape from implementing these.

فَلَا تُكَلِّمُونِي بِمَا تُكَلَّمُ بِهِ الْجَبَابِرَةُ وَ لَا تَتَحَفَّظُوا مِنِّي بِمَا يُتَحَفَّظُ بِهِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْبَادِرَةِ وَ لَا تُخَالِطُونِي‏ بِالْمُصَانَعَةِ وَ لَا تَظُنُّوا بِي اسْتِثْقَالًا فِي حَقٍ‏ قِيلَ لِي وَ لَا الْتِمَاسَ إِعْظَامٍ لِنَفْسِي فَإِنَّهُ مَنِ اسْتَثْقَلَ الْحَقَّ أَنْ يُقَالَ لَهُ أَوِ الْعَدْلَ أَنْ يُعْرَضَ عَلَيْهِ كَانَ الْعَمَلُ بِهِمَا أَثْقَلَ عَلَيْهِ

So do not speak to measws with what you would speak to the tyrants with, nor keep away from measws with what the people of passion are evaded, nor mingle with measws with the deception, nor think of measws as being heaving regarding a truth said to me, and Iasws do not seek magnificence for myselfasws, for the one who considers the truth to be heavy if it is said to him, or the justice if it is presented to him, the acting with these would be heaving upon him.

فَلَا تَكُفُّوا عَنْ مَقَالَةٍ بِحَقٍّ أَوْ مَشُورَةٍ بِعَدْلٍ فَإِنِّي لَسْتُ فِي نَفْسِي بِفَوْقِ أَنْ أُخْطِئَ وَ لَا آمَنُ ذَاكَ مِنْ فِعْلِي إِلَّا أَنْ يَكْفِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي مَا هُوَ أَمْلَكُ بِهِ مِنِّي فَإِنَّمَا أَنَا وَ أَنْتُمْ عَبِيدٌ مَمْلُوكُونَ لِرَبٍّ لَا رَبَّ غَيْرُهُ يَمْلِكُ مِنَّا مَا لَا نَمْلِكُ مِنْ أَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَخْرَجَنَا مِمَّا كُنَّا فِيهِ إِلَى مَا صَلَحْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَأَبْدَلَنَا بَعْدَ الضَّلَالَةِ بِالْهُدَى وَ أَعْطَانَا الْبَصِيرَةَ بَعْدَ الْعَمَى‏.

Do not refrain from speaking the truth, or consultation with fairness, for Iasws am not within myself, above from erring, nor is that safe from myasws deeds. Indeed! Allahazwj Restrains myselfasws, who Heazwj is more controlling with it than Iasws am, for rather I and you are owned slaves of a Lordazwj, there is no Lordazwj other than Himazwj. Heazwj Own from us what we do not own from ourselves, and Heazwj Extracts us from what we would be indulging in, to what Heazwj Corrects us upon. Thus, Heazwj Replaces us with the guidance after straying, and Gives us the insight after the blindness’’.⁵¹⁶

The book ‘Al Garaat’ of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, raising it from Ibn Nubata who said,

‘Aliasws addressed and said in hisasws sermon: ‘The most rightful of what the shepherd (ruler) can pledge from his citizens is that he pledges to them with that which is for Allahazwj upon them regarding the function of their Religion. And rather, upon usasws is that weasws instruct you all with what Allahazwj has Commanded you with, about what Allahazwj has Forbidden you from, and that weasws establish the Commands of Allahazwj among the near people and their remote ones. Weasws don’t mind among who the truth comes upon’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth’’.⁵¹⁷

CHAPTER 14 – ANOTHER REGARDING THE TEN ETTIQUETTES WITH THE IMAMasws

1- ل، الخصال أَبِي عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ الْحَارِثُ الْأَعْوَرُ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ أُحِبُّكَ

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – My father, from Ahmad Bin Idrees, from Al Shary, from Abu Abdullah Al Razy, from Ibn Abu Usman, from Ahmad Bin Nuh, from a man,

‘Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Al-Haris Al-Awr said to Amir Al-Momineenasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! By Allahazwj, I love youasws!’

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا حَارِثُ أَمَّا إِذَا أَحْبَبْتَنِي فَلَا تُخَاصِمْنِي وَ لَا تُلَاعِبْنِي لَا تُجَارِينِي‏ وَ لَا تُمَازِحْنِي وَ لَا تُوَاضِعْنِي وَ لَا تُرَافِعْنِي‏.

Heasws said to him: ‘O Haris! But, when you love measws, then neither dispute with measws, nor play around with measws, nor test measws, nor mock with measws, nor drop measws (below myasws rank), nor argue with measws’’.⁵¹⁸

2- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْخُوزِيُ‏ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع‏ قَالَ: دَعَا عَلِيّاً ع رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ عَلَى أَنْ تَضْمَنَ لِي ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ‏ قَالَ وَ مَا هِيَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al Rezaasws’ – Ahmad Bin Ibrahim Al Khowzy, from Zayd Bin Muhammad al Baghdady, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad al Taie, from his father,

‘From Al-Rezaasws, from hisasws forefathersasws having said: ‘Aliasws was called by a man (invited Imamasws for a meal). Heasws said: ‘Upon that (conditions that) you guarantee three aspects for measws’. He said, ‘And what are these, O Amir Al-Momineenasws?’

قَالَ لَا تُدْخِلْ عَلَيْنَا شَيْئاً مِنْ خَارِجٍ وَ لَا تَدَّخِرْ عَنَّا شَيْئاً فِي الْبَيْتِ وَ لَا تُجْحِفْ بِالْعِيَالِ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لَكَ فَأَجَابَهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏.

Heasws said: ‘You will not enter (buy) anything from outside upon usasws, nor will you hoard anything from usasws, nor will you be prejudicial with the dependants’. He said, ‘That is for youasws’. So Amir Al-Momineenasws answered him (his invitation)’’.⁵¹⁹

3- ب، قرب الإسناد ابْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الْأَزْدِيِّ قَالَ: خَرَجْنَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ نُرِيدُ مَنْزِلَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَلَحِقَنَا أَبُو بَصِيرٍ خَارِجاً مِنْ زُقَاقٍ مِنْ أَزِقَّةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ هُوَ جُنُبٌ وَ نَحْنُ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnad’ – Ibn Sa’ad, from Al Azdy who said,

‘We went out from Al-Medina intending the house of Abu Abdullahasws, and Abu Baseer joined up with us from an alley of the alleyways of Al-Medina, and he was with sexual impurity, and we did not know of it until we entered to see Abu Abdullahasws.

فَسَلَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى أَبِي بَصِيرٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ أَ مَا تَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْجُنُبِ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ بُيُوتَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَرَجَعَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ وَ دَخَلْنَا.

We greeted unto himasws. Heasws raised hisasws head towards Abu Baseer and said to him: ‘O Abu Baseer! Do you not know that it is not appropriate for the one with sexual impurity that he entered the houses of the Prophetsas’. So, Abu Baseer returned and we entered’’.⁵²⁰

4- عم، إعلام الورى شا، الإرشاد رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ كَانَتْ مَعِي جُوَيْرِيَةٌ لِي فَأَصَبْتُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْحَمَّامِ فَلَقِيتُ أَصْحَابَنَا الشِّيعَةَ وَ هُمْ مُتَوَجِّهُونَ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَخِفْتُ أَنْ يَسْبِقُونِي وَ يَفُوتَنِي الدُّخُولُ إِلَيْهِ‏ فَمَشَيْتُ مَعَهُمْ حَتَّى دَخَلْنَا الدَّارَ مَعَهُمْ

(The books) ‘Alaam Al Wara’ (and) ‘Al Irshad’ – It is reported by Abu Baseer who said,

‘I entered Al-Medina with me was a slave girl of mine. I attained from her, then returned to the bathhouse, and I met our Shia companions, and they were heading towards Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws. I feared them to precede me and the entry to see himasws would be missed by me. So, I walked with them until I entered the house with them.

فَلَمَّا مَثُلْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا بَصِيرٍ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ بُيُوتَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أَوْلَادِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَا يَدْخُلُهَا الْجُنُبُ فَاسْتَحْيَيْتُ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَقِيتُ أَصْحَابَنَا فَخَشِيتُ‏ أَنْ يَفُوتَنِي الدُّخُولُ مَعَهُمْ وَ لَنْ أَعُودَ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا.

When I appeared in front of Abu Abdullahasws, heasws looked at me, then said: ‘O Abu Baseer! But, do you not know that the houses of the Prophetsas and the children of the Prophetsas, the one with sexual impurity cannot enter these?’ So, I was embarrassed and said to himasws, ‘O sonasws of Rasool-Allahsaww! I met our companions and feared that the entry along with them would be missed by me, and I shall never repeat to it’s like’’.⁵²¹

5- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ الرِّضَا ع فَعَطَسَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ عَطَسَ فَقُلْتُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ عَطَسَ فَقُلْتُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Isa, from Safwan who said,

‘I was in the presence of Al-Rezaasws, and heasws sneezed. I said to himasws, ‘May Salawaat of Allahazwj be upon youasws’. Then heasws sneezed, so I said, ‘May the Salawaat of Allahazwj be upon you’. Then heasws sneezed, so I said, ‘May the Salawaat of Allahazwj be upon youasws’.

وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِذَا عَطَسَ مِثْلُكَ نَقُولُ لَهُ كَمَا يَقُولُ بَعْضُنَا لِبَعْضٍ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ أَوْ كَمَا نَقُولُ‏

And I said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! When (someone) sneezes like you, we say to him just as some of us say to the others, ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you’, or just as we (I) said’.

قَالَ نَعَمْ أَ لَيْسَ تَقُولُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ ارْحَمْ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ وَ قَدْ صَلَّى‏ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحِمَهُ وَ إِنَّمَا صَلَوَاتُنَا عَلَيْهِ رَحْمَةٌ لَنَا وَ قُرْبَةٌ.

Heasws said: ‘Yes! Aren’t you saying, ‘May the Salawaat of Allahazwj be upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘Mercy be on Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww’. I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘And you have sent Salawaat upon himsaww and Hisazwj Mercy, and rather our Salawaat is upon himsaww is a Mercy for usasws and kinship’’.⁵²²

6- كا، الكافي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ قَالَ: عَطَسَ يَوْماً وَ أَنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا يُقَالُ لِلْإِمَامِ إِذَا عَطَسَ قَالَ يَقُولُونَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ.

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ayoub Bin Nuh who said,

‘Heasws sneezed one day and I was in hisasws presence. So, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! What should be said to the Imamasws when heasws sneezes?’ Heasws said: ‘They should be saying, ‘May the Salawaat of Allahazwj be upon youasws!’’⁵²³

باب 15 الصلاة عليهم صلوات الله عليهم‏

CHAPTER 15 – THE SALAWAAT UPON THEMasws

1- يف، الطرائف رَوَى مُسْلِمٌ فِي صَحِيحِهِ فِي أَوَاسِطِ الْجُزْءِ الرَّابِعِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ قَالَ: قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَا عَرِّفْنَا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ ص قُولُوا.

(The book) ‘Al Taraaif’ – It is reported by Muslim in his (book) ‘Saheeh’, in the middle of the fourth volume, by his chain to Ka’ab Bin Ujzah who said,

‘We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! As for the greetings (Salaam) upon youasws, so we have recognised. Introduce the Salawaat upon youasws’. Heasws said:

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

‘Say, ‘Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Ibrahim just as Youazwj have Sent upon Ibrahimas and the progeny of Ibrahimas’’.⁵²⁴

2- وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الْجُزْءِ السَّادِسِ فِي أَوَّلِ كُرَّاسٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا التَّسْلِيمُ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ

And from that is what is reported by Al Bukhary in the sixth volume in the first pages from its beginning, by his chain, said,

‘We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This is the greeting. So, how do we send Salawaat upon you?’

فَقَالَ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ

Hesaww said, in his reported from Ibn Salih, from Al-Lays:

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ

‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Sent upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas’’.⁵²⁵

وَ رَوَى الْبُخَارِيُّ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ أَيْضاً فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ مِنَ الْجُزْءِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏-

And it is reported by Al-Bukhari, approximately that as well in this subject, from the mentioned volume, from Ka’ab, from the Prophetsaww.

وَ رَوَاهُ أَيْضاً الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الْجُزْءِ الرَّابِعِ مِنْ صَحِيحِهِ فِي اْلكُرَّاسِ الرَّابِعِ مِنْهُ وَ كَانَ الْجُزْءُ تِسْعَ كَرَارِيسَ مِنَ النُّسْخَةِ الْمَنْقُولِ مِنْهَا

And it is reported as well by Al-Bukhari in the fourth volume from his (book) ‘Saheeh’, in the fourth page from it, and the ninth in pages from the copy transmitted from it.

3- وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ فِي الْجَمْعِ بَيْنَ الصَّحِيحَيْنِ فِي مُسْنَدِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الْخَامِسِ مِنْ إِفْرَادِ الْبُخَارِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ

And from that is what is reported by Al Humeydi in (the book) ‘Jam’a Bayn Al Sahiheyn’ in (the book) ‘Musnad’ of Abu Saeed Al Khudry’ in the fifth Hadeeth from numbering of Al Bukhari, said,

‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This is the greeting (Salam) upon yousaww. How do we send Salawaat upon yousaww?’

قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

Hesaww said: ‘Be saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww Yourazwj servant and Yourazwj Rasoolsaww, and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, just as Youazwj Send Salawaat upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, and Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Blessed upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas’’.⁵²⁶

4- وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ الْحُمَيْدِيُّ أَيْضاً فِي الْجَمْعِ بَيْنَ الصَّحِيحَيْنِ فِي مُسْنَدِ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْأَنْصَارِيِّ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الثَّانِي مِنْ إِفْرَادِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ يُسَيْرٌ أَمَرَنَا اللَّهُ أَنْ نُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى تَمَنَّيْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ

And from that is what is reported by Al Humeydi as well in (the book) ‘Jam’a Bayn Al Sahiheyn’ in (the book) ‘Musnad’ of Abu msoud Uqba Bin Amro Al Ansari, in the second Hadeeth from the numbering of Muslim who said,

‘Yuseyr said, ‘Allahazwj has Commanded us that we send Salawaat upon yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww, so how do we send Salawaat upon yousaww, O Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Rasool-Allahsaww was silent until we wished he had not asked himsaww.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

Then Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Be saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Send upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, and Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Blessed upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are the Praised, the Glorified!’’⁵²⁷

5- وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ الثَّعْلَبِيُّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ‏ فِي تَفْسِيرِ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً

And from that is what is reported by Al-Sa’alby, (non-Shia source), by his chain, in his Tafseer of the Words of the Exalted: 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].

قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ عَلِمْنَا السَّلَامَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَيْفَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْكَ

We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! We have known the greetings (Salaam) upon yousaww, so how is the Salawaat upon yousaww?’

قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

Hesaww said: ‘Be saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Sent upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are the Praised, the Glorified, and Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Blessed upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are the Praised, the Glorified!’’⁵²⁸

6- أَقُولُ رَوَى ابْنُ شِيرَوَيْهِ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ عَنِ الْبُخَارِيِّ وَ مُسْلِمٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِمَا عَنْ كَعْبِ بْنِ عُجْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

I am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Sheyrawiya in (the book) ‘Al Firdows’, from Al Bukhari and Muslim by their chains from Ka’ab Bin Ujrah,

‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘Be saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Send upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are the Praised, the Glorified! O Allahazwj! Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Blessed upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are Praised, Glorified!’’⁵²⁹

7- وَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا قَالَ: مَا مِنْ دُعَاءٍ إِلَّا وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ حِجَابٌ حَتَّى يُصَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ انْخَرَقَ ذَلِكَ الْحِجَابُ وَ دَخَلَ الدُّعَاءُ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ رَجَعَ الدُّعَاءُ.

And from Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, from the Prophetsaww having said: ‘There is no supplication except and between it and the sky there is a veil until one sends Salawaat upon the Prophetsaww Muhammadsaww and upon the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww. So, when that is done, that veil is pierced and the supplication enters (through), and when he does not do that, the supplication returns’’.⁵³⁰

8- وَ رَوَى الْبُرْسِيُّ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَنْوَارِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَرْشَ خَلَقَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ طُوفُوا بَعَرْشِ النُّورِ وَ سَبِّحُونِي وَ احْمِلُوا عَرْشِي

And it is reported by Al Bursy in (the book) ‘Mashariq Al Anwaar’ –

‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘When Allahazwj Created the Throne, Created seventy thousand Angels and Said to them: “Perform Tawaaf of the Throne of Noor and Glorify Meazwj, and carry Myazwj Throne!”

فَطَافُوا وَ سَبَّحُوا وَ أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَحْمِلُوا الْعَرْشَ فَمَا قَدَرُوا فَقَالَ لَهُمُ اللَّهُ طُوفُوا بَعَرْشِ النُّورِ فَصَلُّوا عَلَى نُورِ جَلَالِي مُحَمَّدٍ حَبِيبِي وَ احْمِلُوا عَرْشِي

They (angels) performed Tawaaf and Glorified and wanted to carry the Throne but were not able to. Allahazwj Said to them: “Perform Tawaaf of the Throne of Noor and send Salawaat upon the Noor of Myazwj Majesty, Muhammadsaww Myazwj Beloved, and (then) carry Myazwj Throne!”

فَطَافُوا بَعَرْشِ الْجَلَالِ وَ صَلَّوْا عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ حَمَلُوا الْعَرْشَ فَأَطَاقُوا حَمْلَهُ فَقَالُوا رَبَّنَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِتَسْبِيحِكَ وَ تَقْدِيسِكَ

They performed Tawaaf of the Throne of Majesty and sent Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and carried the Throne, and they performed Tawaaf carrying it. They said, ‘Our Lordazwj! Youazwj Commanded us with Glorifying Youazwj and extolling Yourazwj Holiness’.

فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ يَا مَلَائِكَتِي إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمْ عَلَى حَبِيبِي مُحَمَّدٍ فَقَدْ سَبَّحْتُمُونِي وَ قَدَّسْتُمُونِي وَ هَلَّلْتُمُونِي‏.

Allahazwj Said to them: ‘O Myazwj Angels! When you send Salawaat upon Myazwj Beloved Muhammadsaww, so you have (already) Glorified Meazwj, and extolled Myazwj Holiness, and exclaimed Myazwj Oneness!”’⁵³¹

9- قَالَ وَ رَوَى ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَلْفَ صَلَاةٍ فِي أَلْفِ صَفٍّ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ رَطْبٌ وَ لَا يَابِسٌ إِلَّا وَ صَلَّى عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْعَبْدِ لِصَلَاةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ‏.

He said, ‘And it is reported by Ibn Abbas,

‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘One who sends Salawaat upon mesaww, one Salawaat, Allahazwj Sends a thousand Salawaats upon him, among a thousand rows of the Angels, and there does not remain any wet or dry (thing) except and it sends Salawaat upon that servant for the Salawaat of Allahazwj upon him’’.⁵³²

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaaid’ and ‘Taweel al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Abdul Aziz Bin Yahya, from Ali Bin Al Ja’ad, from Shuayb, from Al Hakam who said,

‘I heard Abu Layli saying, ‘Ka’ab Bin Ujrah met me and said, ‘Shall I gift to you a gift?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww came out to us, so I said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! We have learnt how the greetings is to be upon yousaww, so how is the Salawaat upon yousaww?’

قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ.

Hesaww said: ‘Be saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Sent upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are the Praised, Glorified! And Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Blessed upon Ibrahim and progeny of Ibrahimas, Youazwj are Praised, Glorified!’’⁵³³

11- وَ رُوِيَ مِنَ الْبُخَارِيِّ أَيْضاً بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا التَّسْلِيمُ فَكَيْفَ نُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ

It is reported from Al Bukhari as well by another chain, from Abu Saeed Al Khudri who said,

‘We said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This is the greetings, so how do we send Salawaat upon yousaww?’

قَالَ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ

Hesaww said: ‘Be saying, ‘O Allahazwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Sent Salawaat upon Ibrahimas and progeny of Ibrahimas, and Bless upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww just as Youazwj Blessed upon Ibrahimas’’.

وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ.

And by another chain: ‘Just as Youazwj Sent upon Ibrahimas’’.⁵³⁴

12- وَ قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ‏ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏.

And it is reported by his chain from Ibn Al Magazily, from Ahmad Bin Al Muzaffar Al Attar Al Shafie, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Usman, from abdullah Bin zayd, from Ali Bin Yunus, from Muhammad Bin Al Al Kindy, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Ja’farasws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiqasws, from hisasws forefathersasws, from Aliasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘One who sends Salawaat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww one hundred times, Allahazwj would Fulfil one hundred needs for him’’.⁵³⁶

And by his chain as well,

‘From himasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘There is no supplication except between it and the sky there is a veil, until he (the duplicator) sends Salawaat upon the Prophetsaww and upon the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww.

‘While we were seated in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws when a man passed by us, in his hand was a martin (swallow) slaughtered. Abu Abdullahasws leapt towards him until heasws seized it from his hand, then laid it in the ground, then said: ‘Did your scholar instruct you with this, or your jurist?’

Myasws fatherasws has informed me from myasws grandfatherasws that Rasool-Allahsaww has forbidden from killing six – the bee, and the ant, and the frog, and the shrike, and the hoopoe, and the martin’ – and continued the Hadeeth until heasws said: ’And as for the martin, its circling is in the sky out of grief to what was done with Peopleasws of the Household of Muhammadsaww, and its glorification is recitation of ‘The Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2],’. Don’t you see it and it is saying, ‘nor of the straying ones [1:7]’’.⁵⁴¹

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’, from the book ‘Al Nashr Wa Al Tayy’ –

From Al-Rezaasws in a lengthy Hadeeth regarding the merit of the day of Ghadeer, heasws said: ‘And during the day of Al-Ghadeer, Allahazwj Presented the Wilayah unto the inhabitants of the seven skies, and the inhabitants of the seventh sky preceded to it, so it was adorned by the Throne. Then the inhabitants of the fourth sky preceded to it, so it was adorned by the Bayt Al-Mamour. Then the inhabitants of the world preceded to it, and it was adorned by the stars.

ثُمَّ عَرَضَهَا عَلَى الْأَرَضِينَ فَسَبَقَتْ إِلَيْهَا مَكَّةُ فَزَيَّنَهَا بِالْكَعْبَةِ ثُمَّ سَبَقَتْ إِلَيْهَا الْمَدِينَةُ فَزَيَّنَهَا بِالْمُصْطَفَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص ثُمَّ سَبَقَتْ إِلَيْهَا الْكُوفَةُ فَزَيَّنَهَا بِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع

Then Heazwj Presented it unto the lands, so Makkah preceded to it and it was adorned with the Kabah. Then Al-Medina preceded to it, so it was adorned with the Chosen one, Muhammadsaww. Then Al-Kufa preceded to it, and it was adorned by Amir Al-Momineenasws.

وَ عَرَضَهَا عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَأَوَّلُ جَبَلٍ أَقَرَّ بِذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَةُ أَجْبَالٍ الْعَقِيقُ وَ جَبَلُ الْفَيْرُوزَجِ وَ جَبَلُ الْيَاقُوتِ فَصَارَتْ هَذِهِ الْجِبَالُ جِبَالَهُنَّ وَ أَفْضَلَ الْجَوَاهِرِ وَ سَبَقَتْ إِلَيْهَا جِبَالٌ أُخَرُ فَصَارَتْ مَعَادِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ وَ مَا لَمْ يُقِرَّ بِذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَقْبَلْ صَارَتْ لَا تُنْبِتُ شَيْئاً

And Heazwj Presented it to the mountains, and the first mountains to acknowledge with that were three mountains – Al-Aqeeq (agate), and mountain of Al-Firouzaj (turquoise), and mountain of Al-Yaqout (ruby). Thus, these mountains became these mountains and the most superior of the jewels. And another mountain preceded to it and it became a mine of gold and silver. And what did not acknowledge with that and did not accept, became not growing anything.

وَ عُرِضَتْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى الْمِيَاهِ فَمَا قَبِلَ مِنْهَا صَارَ عَذْباً وَ مَا أَنْكَرَ صَارَ مِلْحاً أُجَاجاً

And during that it was Presented unto the waters, so whatever from these accepted, because sweet, and whatever denies became salty, bitter.

وَ عَرَضَهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى النَّبَاتِ فَمَا قَبِلَهُ صَارَ حُلْواً طَيِّباً وَ مَا لَمْ يَقْبَلْ صَارَ مُرّاً

And during that is was Presented unto the vegetation, so whatever accepted it became sweet, good, and whatever did not accept became bitter.

ثُمَّ عَرَضَهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ عَلَى الطَّيْرِ فَمَا قَبِلَهَا صَارَ فَصِيحاً مُصَوِّتاً وَ مَا أَنْكَرَهَا صَارَ أَحَرَّ أَلْكَنَ‏ إِلَى آخِرِ الْخَبَرِ.

Then during that day it was Presented unto the birds, so whatever accepted it, became eloquent of voice, and whatever denied it became mute, silent’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth’’.⁵⁴³

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws turned towards us and said: ‘Do you know what the antelope said?’ We said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and sonasws of Hisazwj Rasoolsaww are more knowing’.

He asked measws if Iasws could ask them to free her and he guaranteed for me that when she has breastfed her cubs until they are strong for the feeding themselves and the pasture, he would return her to them’’.

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘One day Rasool-Allahsaww was seated among hissaww companions when a camel passed by himsaww until it struck it’s knees on the ground kneeling, and foamed (at the mouth). A man from the people said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! This camel is doing Sajdah to yousaww, then we are more rightful that we do (the same)’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَا بَلِ اسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ جَاءَ يَشْكُو أَرْبَابَهُ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُمْ أَنْتَجُوهُ صَغِيراً فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ وَ قَدْ اعْتَمَلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ صَارَ عُوداً كَبِيراً أَرَادُوا نَحْرَهُ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ

Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘No, but perform Sajdah to Allahazwj. This camel came to complain of its owners and claims that they bred him as young. When he was grown-up and they had utilised him, and now when he is old, they want to slaughter him. He complained of that’.

فَدَخَلَ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهُ مِنَ الْإِنْكَارِ لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَوْ أَمَرْتُ شَيْئاً يَسْجُدُ لِآخَرَ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا

The denial entered into a man from the group, what Allahazwj Desired to enter him, (denial) of the words of the Prophetsaww. Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘If Isaww were to instruct anything to do Sajdah to another, Isaww would instruct the woman to do Sajdah to her husband’.

ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ‏ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ تَكَلَّمُوا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الْجَمَلُ وَ الذِّئْبُ وَ الْبَقَرَةُ فَأَمَّا الْجَمَلُ فَكَلَامُهُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتَ وَ أَمَّا الذِّئْبُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْجُوعَ فَدَعَا أَصْحَابَهُ فَكَلَّمَهُمْ فِيهِ فَتَنَحَّوْا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَصْحَابِ الْغَنَمِ افْرُضُوا لِلذِّئْبِ شَيْئاً فَتَنَحَّوْا

Then Abu Abdullahasws grew the Hadeeth saying: ‘Three from the beasts spoke in the era of Rasool-Allahsaww – the camel, and the wolf, and the cow. As for the camel it spoke to himsaww that which you heard, and as for the wolf, it came to the Prophetsaww and complained to himsaww of the hunger. Hesaww called hissaww companions and spoke to them regarding it. They left. Rasool-Allahsaww said to the owners of the sheep: ‘Necessitate something for the wolf’. They left.

ثُمَّ جَاءَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْجُوعَ فَدَعَاهُمْ وَ تَنَحَّوْا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِلذِّئْبِ اخْتَلِسْ أَيْ خُذْ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَرَضَ لِلذِّئْبِ شَيْئاً مَا زَادَ عَلَيْهِ‏ شَيْئاً حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ

Then the second came and complained to himsaww of the hunger. Hesaww called them and they left himsaww alone. Rasool-Allahsaww said to the wolf: ‘Sneak up’ – i.e. take. And if Rasool-Allahsaww has Obligated anything (to be given) to the wolf, nothing would have been increased upon it until the establishment of the Hour.

And as for the cow, it believed in the Prophetsaww and pointed upon it, and it was among the palm trees of the clan of Salim. It said, ‘O clan of Zareh! Work upon the plantation!’ – shouting in eloquent Arabic, shouting, ‘There is no god except Allahazwj Lordazwj of the world, Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww chief of the Prophetsas, and Aliasws is chief of the succesorsasws’’.

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported by Abdullah Bin Talha who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the lizard’. Heasws said: ‘It is the uncleanness, morphed. So, if you were to kill it, then wash, meaning in gratitude’.

وَ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي كَانَ قَاعِداً فِي الْحِجْرِ وَ مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ الْوَزَغُ يُوَلْوِلُ بِلِسَانِهِ فَقَالَ أَبِي ع لِلرَّجُلِ أَ تَدْرِي مَا يَقُولُ هَذَا الْوَزَغُ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَا أَعْلَمُ مَا يَقُولُ

And heasws said: ‘Myasws fatherasws was seated in the room and with himasws was a man discussing with himasws, and there was the lizard uttering in its language. Myasws fatherasws said to the man: ‘Do you know what this lizard is saying?’ The man said, ‘I don’t know what it is saying’.

قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ لَئِنْ ذَكَرْتَ عُثْمَانَ لَأَسُبَّنَّ عَلِيّاً وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَمُوتُ مِنْ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ مَيِّتٌ إِلَّا مُسِخَ وَزَغاً.

Heasws said: ‘It is saying, ‘If you were to mention Usman, I will revile Aliasws’. And heasws said, ‘No one from the clan of Umayya dies, except he gets morphed as a lizard’’.⁵⁵⁵

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ –

It is reported from Al-Hassanasws: ‘One day Aliasws was in a wasteland and heasws saw a partridge. Heasws said: ‘O partridge! Since how long have you been in his wilderness, and from where is your food and drink?’ It said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! I am in this wilderness since one hundred years. When I came, I sent Salawat upon you (Imamsasws), so I was satiated, and when I am thirsty, I supplicate against yourasws oppressors, so I get saturated’’.⁵⁵⁶

Then heasws said: ‘One day myasws fatherasws was seated in the room, there was a lizard uttering. Heasws said: ‘It is saying, ‘If you were to revile our people (clan of Umayya), I will revile Aliasws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْوَزَغَ مِنْ مُسُوخِ بَنِي مَرْوَانَ لَعَنَهُمْ اللَّهُ.

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisaas’ – Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Qashany, from Abu Al Ahwas Dawood Bin Asad, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Jameel, from Ahmad Bin Haroun bin Mowfiq, and he was Haroun Bin Mowfaq,

‘A slave of Abu Al-Hassanasws having said, ‘I came to Abu Al-Hassanasws in order to greet unto himasws. Heasws said to me: ‘Ride and go around’, to go around wealth of hisasws. So, I rode and came to a canopy of hisasws which had been struck upon the water feature having greenery with it. I was soothed by that, and straightened the canopy for himasws over there.

فَجَلَسْتُ حَتَّى أَتَى وَ هُوَ عَلَى فَرَسٍ لَهُ فَقُمْتُ فَقَبَّلْتُ فَخِذَهُ وَ نَزَلَ وَ أَخَذْتُ رِكَابَهُ وَ أَمْسَكْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ أَهْوَيْتُ لِآخُذَ الْعِنَانَ فَأَبَى وَ أَخَذَهُ هُوَ فَأَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ رَأْسِ الدَّابَّةِ وَ عَلَّقَهُ فِي طُنُبٍ مِنْ أَطْنَابِ الْفَازَةِ

I sat down until heasws came, and heasws was upon a horse of hisasws. I stood up and kissed hisasws thigh, and heasws descended and I grabbed hisasws rein but heasws withheld it to himasws. When heasws descended, I wanted to take the reins, but heasws refused and heasws grabbed it and removed it from the head of the animal and cast it in a hook from the hooks of the canopy.

ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فَسَأَلَ عَنْ مَجِيئِي وَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَأَعْلَمْتُهُ مَجِيئِي مِنَ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى أَنْ جَمَحَ الْفَرَسُ وَ خَلَّى الْعِنَانَ‏ وَ مَرَّ يَتَخَطَّى الْجَدَاوِلَ وَ الزَّرْعَ إِلَى بَرَا حَتَّى بَالَ وَ رَاثَ وَ رَجَعَ

Then heasws sat down and asked about my coming, and that was at evening, and I let himasws know that my coming was from late afternoon, until the horse neighed, and heasws let go of the horse, and it went making marks on the water feature and the plants to a land, until it urinated and excreted and returned.

فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع فَقَالَ لَمْ يُعْطَ آلَ دَاوُدَ شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْهُ‏.

Abu Al-Hassanasws looked at me and said: ‘Nothing had been Given to the progeny of Dawoodas except and it has been Given to Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww superior than it’’.⁵⁶⁰

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisaas’ – Ibn Isa and Ahmad Bin Al hassan, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Zurara who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘There was a she-came for Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, heasws had performed twenty-two Hajj upon it, not having whipped it with a whip at all. Nothing surprised me after hisasws passing away except and some of the servants came and they said, ‘The she-camel has gone out and gone to the grave of Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws, it rolled upon it and struck with its limbs and it was foaming (at the mouth)’.

فَقُلْتُ أَدْرِكُوهَا فَجِيئُونِي بِهَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَعْلَمُوا بِهَا أَوْ يَرَوْهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ مَا كَانَتْ رَأَتِ الْقَبْرَ قَطُّ.

Iasws said: ‘Find it and come to measws with it before it is known with it or seen’. Then Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And it was not seen at the graves at all’’.⁵⁶¹

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Al Bursy in (the book) ‘Mashariq Al Anwaar’, from Zayd Al Shahaam by his chain from Ibn Nubata who said,

‘A number of hypocrites came to Amir Al-Momineenasws and they said to himasws, ‘Youasws are the one who is saying that this eel is morphed, Prohibited’. Heasws said: ‘Yes’. They said, ‘Show us its proof’.

فَجَاءَ بِهِمْ إِلَى الْفُرَاتِ وَ نَادَى هناس هناس‏ فَأَجَابَهُ الْجِرِّيُّ لَبَّيْكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ عُرِضَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَلَايَتُكَ فَأَبَى وَ مُسِخَ وَ إِنَّ فِيمَنْ مَعَكَ لَمَنْ يُمْسَخُ كَمَا مُسِخْنَا وَ يَصِيرُ كَمَا صِرْنَا

Heasws came with them to the Euphrates and called out: ‘Hanaas! Hanaas!’ The eel answered himasws, ‘At yourasws service!’ Amir Al-Momineenasws said to it: ‘Who are you?’ It said, ‘From the ones yourasws Wilayah was presented to, but refused and was morphed, and if among the ones with youasws are the one who have been morphed just as we have been morphed and become just as we have become’.

فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بَيِّنْ قِصَّتَكَ لِيَسْمَعَ مَنْ حَضَرَ فَيَعْلَمَ

Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Explain your story for the one present can listen and he would know’.

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كُنَّا أَرْبَعاً وَ عِشْرِينَ قَبِيلَةً مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ كُنَّا قَدْ تَمَرَّدْنَا وَ عَصَيْنَا وَ عُرِضَتْ وَلَايَتُكَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَبَيْنَا وَ فَارَقْنَا الْبِلَادَ وَ اسْتَعْمَلْنَا الْفَسَادَ فَجَاءَنَا آتٍ أَنْتَ وَ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنَّا فَصَرَخَ فِينَا صَرْخَةً فَجَمَعَنَا جَمْعاً وَاحِداً وَ كُنَّا مُتَفَرِّقِينَ فِي الْبَرَارِيَ فَجَمَعَنَا لِصَرْخَتِهِ

It said, ‘Yes. There were twenty-four tribes of ours from the children of Israel, and we had rebelled and disobeyed, and yourasws Wilayah was presented to usasws, but we refused and we separated (from) the city, and we utilised the mischief. A comer came to us, by Allahazwj youasws are more knowing with him than us, and he shouted among us with a shout, and we gathered as one group, and we used to be separated in the lands. We gathered to his shout.

ثُمَّ صَاحَ صَيْحَةً أُخْرَى وَ قَالَ كُونُوا مُسُوخاً بِقُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ فَمُسِخْنَا أَجْنَاساً مُخْتَلِفَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا الْقِفَارُ كُونُوا أَنْهَاراً تُسْكِنْكَ هَذِهِ الْمُسُوخُ وَ اتَّصِلِي بِبِحَارِ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مَاءٌ إِلَّا وَ فِيهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمُسُوخِ فَصِرْنَا مُسُوخاً كَمَا تَرَى‏.

Then he shouted another shout and said: ‘Be morphed by the Power of Allahazwj!’ So, we were morphed into different types. Then he said, ‘O wasteland! Be rivers for these morphed ones to dwell in!’ And these connected with the oceans of the earth until there did not remain any water except and in it is from these morphed ones. So, we are morphed as youasws can see’’.⁵⁶²

25- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع إِلَى مَكَانٍ يُرِيدُهُ فَسِرْنَا وَ إِذَا ذِئْبٌ قَدِ انْحَدَرَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَ جَاءَ حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى قَرَبُوسِ السَّرْجِ وَ تَطَاوَلَ فَخَاطَبَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْإِمَامُ ارْجِعْ فَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ الذِّئْبُ مُهَرْوِلًا

And by his chain to Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I went out with Abu Ja’farasws to a place heasws had intended. We travelled and there was a wolf which had come down from the mountain and it came until it placed its hand upon the horn of the saddle and pleaded and addressed himasws. The Imamasws said to it: ‘Return, for Iasws have (already) done so’. The wolf returned sprinting.

فَقُلْتُ سَيِّدِي‏ مَا شَأْنُهُ قَالَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ زَوْجْتَهُ قَدْ عَسُرَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْوِلَادَةُ فَسَأَلَ لَهَا الْفَرَجَ وَ أَنْ يَرْزُقَهُ اللَّهُ وَلَداً لَا يُؤْذِي دَوَابَّ شِيعَتِنَا قُلْتُ لَهُ اذْهَبْ فَقَدْ فَعَلْتُ

I said, ‘My Masterasws! What is its affair?’ Heasws said: ‘It mentioned that its spouse, giving birth has become difficult upon her, and it asked for the relief for her, and that Allahazwj should Grace him a son nor hurting the animals of ourasws Shias’. Iasws said to it: ‘Go, for Iasws have already done so’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ سِرْنَا فَإِذَا قَاعٌ مُجْدِبٌ يَتَوَقَّدُ حَرّاً وَ هُنَاكَ عَصَافِيرُ فَتَطَايَرْنَ وَ دُرْنَ حَوْلَ بَغْلَتِهِ‏ فَزَجَرَهَا وَ قَالَ لَا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘We travelled on and there was an infertile lowland of burning heat, and ever there were sparrows. They flew and circled around hisasws mule. Heasws rebuked them and said: ‘No, and there is no prestige!’

قَالَ ثُمَّ صَارَ إِلَى مَقْصَدِهِ فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا مِنَ الْغَدِ وَ عُدْنَا إِلَى الْقَاعِ فَإِذَا الْعَصَافِيرُ قَدْ طَارَتْ وَ دَارَتْ حَوْلَ بَغْلَتِهِ وَ رَفْرَفَتْ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ اشْرَبِي وَ ارْوَي

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws came to hisasws purpose. When we returned on the next morning and returned to the lowland, the sparrows were there, and they flew and circles around hisasws mule, and fluttered, and I heard himasws saying: ‘Drink and be saturated!’

قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا فِي الْقَاعِ ضَحْضَاحٌ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي بِالْأَمْسِ مَنَعْتَهَا وَ الْيَوْمَ سَقَيْتَهَا فَقَالَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الْيَوْمَ خَالَطَهَا الْقَنَابِرُ فَسَقَيْتُهَا وَ لَوْ لَا الْقَنَابِرُ مَا سَقَيْتُهَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘I looked and there the lowland had been filled from the water. I said, ‘O my Masterasws! Yesterday youasws had forbidden them, and today youasws are quenching them?’ Heasws said: ‘Know that today the skylarks had mingled with them, so I quenched them, and had it not been for the skylarks, Iasws would not have quenched them’.

فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَا الْفَرْقُ بَيْنَ الْقَنَابِرِ وَ الْعَصَافِيرِ فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ أَمَّا الْعَصَافِيرُ فَإِنَّهُمْ مَوَالِي عُمَرَ لِأَنَّهُمْ مِنْهُ وَ أَمَّا الْقَنَابِرُ فَإِنَّهُمْ مِنْ مَوَالِينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ إِنَّهُمْ يَقُولُونَ فِي صَفيرِهِمْ بُورِكْتُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ بُورِكَتْ شِيعَتُكُمْ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أَعْدَاءَكُمْ

I said, ‘O my Masterasws! And what is the difference between the skylarks and the sparrows?’ Heasws said: ‘Woe be unto you! As for the sparrows, they are the friends of Umar, because they are from him, and as for the skylarks, they are from ourasws friends of Peopleasws of the Household, and they are saying in their chirping, ‘Blessing be on youasws Peopleasws of the Household, and Blessings be on yourasws Shias, and may Allahazwj Curse youasws enemies!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ عَادَانَا مِنْ كُلٍّ شَيْ‏ءٌ حَتَّى مِنَ الطُّيُورِ الْفَاخِتَةُ وَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ أَرْبِعَاءُ.

Then he (the narrator) said, ‘Ourasws enemies are from all things, even from the birds, the ringdove, and from the days, Wednesday’’.⁵⁶³

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to Aliasws: ‘O Aliasws! Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Presented ourasws cordiality of Peopleasws of the Household unto the skies and the earth. The first one from these to answer was the seventh sky, so it was adorned with the Throne and the Chair. Then the fourth sky, so it was adorned with the Bayt Al-Mamour. Then the sky of the world, so it was adorned with the stars.

ثُمَّ أَرْضُ الْحِجَازِ فَشَرَّفَهَا بِالْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ ثُمَّ أَرْضُ الشَّامِ فَزَيَّنَهَا بِبَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ثُمَّ أَرْضُ طَيْبَةَ فَشَرَّفَهَا بِقَبْرِي ثُمَّ أَرْضُ كُوفَانَ فَشَرَّفَهَا بِقَبْرِكَ يَا عَلِيُّ

Then the land of Al-Hijaz, so it was ennobled with the Sacred House. Then the land of Syria, so it was adorned with Bayt Al-Maqdis. Then the land of Tayba, so it would be ennobled by mysaww grave. Then the land of Kufa, so it would be ennobled by yourasws grave, O Aliasws’.

Heasws said to himsaww: ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Will myasws grave be at Kufa of Al-Iraq?’ Hesaww said: ‘Yes, O Aliasws! Youasws will be buried at its back, killed between Al-Ghariyeyn and the white Al-Zakwan. The most wretched of this community would kill youasws, Abdul Rahman Bin Muljam.

‘I and Abu Zarrra and Bilal were travelling one day with Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. Aliasws look at melons. Heasws released a Dirham and handed it to Bilal and said: ‘Bring me, with this Dirham, from these melons’, and Aliasws went to hisasws house. We were not even away and Bilal had come with the melon. Aliasws took the melon and cut it, and there, it was bitter.

فَقَالَ يَا بِلَالُ ابْعُدْ بِهَذَا الْبِطِّيخِ عَنِّي وَ أَقْبِلْ‏ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى أُحَدِّثَكَ بِحَدِيثٍ حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ يَدُهُ عَلَى مَنْكِبِي

Heasws said: ‘O Bilal! Away from measws with this melon, and come back to measws until Iasws narrate to you with a Hadeeth Rasool-Allahsaww had narrated to measws with and hissaww hand was upon myasws shoulder.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ‏ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى طَرَحَ حُبِّي عَلَى الْحَجَرِ وَ الْمَدَرِ وَ الْبِحَارِ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الشَّجَرِ فَمَا أَجَابَ إِلَى حُبِّي عَذُبَ‏ وَ مَا لَمْ يُجِبْ إِلَى حُبِّي خَبُثَ وَ مَرَّ وَ إِنِّي لَأَظُنُّ أَنَّ هَذَا الْبِطِّيخَ مِمَّا لَمْ يُجِبْ إِلَى حُبِّي‏.

Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Presented myasws love unto the rock, and the mud, and the sea, and the mountain, and the tree. So, whatever answered to myasws love, became fresh, and whatever did not answer to myasws love, became wicked and bitter, and Iasws think that this melon is from what did not answer to myasws love’’.⁵⁷⁰

‘From Qanbar, a slave of Amir Al-Momineenasws having said, ‘I was in the presence of Amir Al Momineenasws when a man entered and said, ‘O Amir Al Momineenasws! I desire (to eat) a melon’.

قَالَ فَأَمَرَنِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِشِرَاءٍ فَوَجَّهْتُ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَجَاءُونَا بِثَلَاثِ بِطِّيخَاتٍ فَقَطَعْتُ وَاحِداً فَإِذَا هُوَ مُرٌّ فَقُلْتُ مُرٌّ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ ارْمِ بِهِ‏ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ إِلَى النَّارِ

He (Qanbar) said, ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws instructed me with buying (it): ‘Go ahead with a Dirham and come to us with three melons’. I cut one, and there it was bitter. I said, ‘Bitter, O Amir Al-Momineenasws’. Heasws said: ‘Throw it, from the fire and to the fire’.

قَالَ وَ قَطَعْتُ الثَّانِيَ فَإِذَا هُوَ حَامِضٌ فَقُلْتُ حَامِضٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ ارْمِ بِهِ‏ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَى النَّارِ

He (Qanbar) said, ‘And I cut the second, and there it was sour. So, I said, ‘Sour, O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Heasws said: ‘Throw it, from the fire to the fire’.

قَالَ فَقَطَعْتُ الثَّالِثَةَ فَإِذَا مَدُودَةٌ فَقُلْتُ مَدُودَةٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ ارْمِ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَى النَّارِ

He (Qanbar) said, ‘I cut the third, and there it was with insects. I said, ‘(Infested with) insects, O Amir Al-Momineenasws’. Heasws said: ‘Thrown it, from the fire to the fire’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ وَجَّهْتُ بِدِرْهَمٍ آخَرَ فَجَاءُونَا بِثَلَاثِ بِطِّيخَاتٍ فَوَثَبْتُ عَلَى قَدَمَيَّ فَقُلْتُ أَعْفِنِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ قَطْعِهِ كَأَنَّهُ تَأَثَّمَ بِقَطْعِهِ‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اجْلِسْ يَا قَنْبَرُ فَإِنَّهَا مَأْمُورَةٌ

He (Qanbar) said, ‘Then he diverted me with another Dirham: ‘Come to us with three melons’. I leapt upon my feed and said, ‘Excuse me, O Amir Al-Momineenasws from cutting it’, as if it had gone wronged by (my) cutting it. Amir Al-Momineenasws said to him: ‘Be seated, O Qanbar, for it is Commanded’.

فَجَلَسْتُ فَقَطَعْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ حُلْوٌ فَقُلْتُ حُلْوٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ كُلْ وَ أَطْعِمْنَا فَأَكَلْتُ ضِلْعاً وَ أَطْعَمْتُهُ ضِلْعاً وَ أَطْعَمْتُ الْجَلِيسَ ضِلْعاً

I sat down and cut it, and there it was sweet. I said, ‘Sweet, O Amir Al-Momineenasws!’ Heasws said: ‘Eat and feed us’. So, I ate a slice and fed himasws a slice and fed slices to the ones gathered.

فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ يَا قَنْبَرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَرَضَ وَلَايَتَنَا عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ الثَّمَرِ وَ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَمَا قَبِلَ مِنْهُ وَلَايَتَنَا طَابَ وَ طَهُرَ وَ عَذُبَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَقْبَلْ مِنْهُ خَبُثَ وَ رَدِيَ وَ نَتُنَ‏.

Amir Al-Momineenasws turned towards me and said: ‘O Qanbar! Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted Presented ourasws Wilayah to the inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earth, from the Jinn, and the humans, and the fruits, and other than that. So, whatever from it accepted ourasws Wilayah became good, and clean, and sweet, and whatever from it did not accept became wicked, and decayed, and stinky’’.⁵⁷¹

‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When Allahazwj the Exalted Created the skies and the earth, Called them. They answered Himazwj. Heazwj Presented to them mysaww Prophet-hood and Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws. They accepted these two.

CHAPTER 2 – THE IMAMasws WOULD NEITHER BE WASHED NOT BURIED EXCEPT BY AN IMAMasws, AND SOME OF THE SITUATIONS OF THEIRasws EXPIRY

Notes: -

في خبر أبي الصلت الهروي في باب شهادة الرضا ع‏ أنه حضر الجواد ع لغسله و كفنه و الصلاة عليه.

And in a Hadeeth of Abu Al-Salt Al-Harwy in the chapter on martyrdom of Al Rezaasws: ‘Al Jawwadasws presented to wash himasws, and enshroud himasws, and the Salat upon himasws’.

وَ كَذَا فِي خَبَرِ هَرْثَمَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ وَ فِيهِ‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ الرِّضَا ع لِهَرْثَمَةَ فَإِنَّهُ سَيُشْرِفُ عَلَيْكَ الْمَأْمُونُ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ يَا هَرْثَمَةُ أَ لَيْسَ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّ الْإِمَامَ لَا يُغَسِّلُهُ إِلَّا إِمَامٌ مِثْلُهُ فَمَنْ يُغَسِّلُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى وَ ابْنُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ بِلَادِ الْحِجَازِ وَ نَحْنُ بِطُوسٍ

And such is in a Hadeeth of Harsama Bin Ayn, and in it, ‘Al-Rezaasws said to Harsama: ‘Al-Mamoun will soon be coming to you and telling you, ‘O Harsama! Aren’t you (Shias) claiming that the Imamasws cannot be washed except by an Imamasws like himasws? So, who would wash Abu Al-Hassan Aliasws Bin Musaasws, and hisasws sonasws Muhammadasws is in Al-Medina from the country Al-Hijaz, and we are at Toos (Mashhad)?’

فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ فَأَجِبْهُ وَ قُلْ لَهُ إِنَّا نَقُولُ إِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُغَسِّلَهُ الْإِمَامُ فَإِنْ تَعَدَّى مُتَعَدٍّ فَغَسَلَ الْإِمَامَ لَمْ تَبْطُلْ إِمَامَةُ الْإِمَامِ لِتَعَدِّي غَاسِلِهِ وَ لَا بَطَلَتْ إِمَامَةُ الْإِمَامِ الَّذِي بَعْدَهُ بِأَنْ غُلِبَ عَلَى غُسْلِ أَبِيهِ

So, when he says that, then answer him and tell him, ‘We are saying that the Imamasws loves to be washed by the Imamasws. So, if a transgressor were to transgress and washes the Imamasws, it would not invalidate the Imamate of the Imamasws due to the transgression of hisasws washer, nor would it invalidate the Imamate of the one to be after himasws by the fact that heasws was overcome upon by the washing of hisasws fatherasws.

وَ لَوْ تَرَكَ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى بِالْمَدِينَةِ لَغَسَّلَهُ ابْنُهُ مُحَمَّدٌ ظَاهِراً مَكْشُوفاً وَ لَا يُغَسِّلُهُ الْآنَ أَيْضاً إِلَّا هُوَ مِنْ حَيْثُ يَخْفَى.

And if Abu Al-Hassan Aliasws Bin Musaasws were to be left at Al-Medina, hisasws sonasws Muhammadasws would have washed himasws, apparently, uncovered, and heasws would be washing himasws now as well except and from where heasws would be hidden’’.

I entered to see himasws after that and said to himasws, ‘Yourasws fatherasws, who washed himasws, and who was in charge of it?’ Heasws said: ‘Perhaps the ones who attended himasws were superior than those who stayed behind from it’. I said, ‘And who are they?’ Heasws said: ‘The ones who attended himasws were the ones who attended Yusufas, Angels of Allahazwj and Hisazwj Mercy’’.⁵⁸⁰

The student asked himasws, ‘What makes youasws cry?’ But heasws did not answer him and said: ‘Allow measws with the entering (a room)’. I permitted him.

قَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرٍ بَيِّنٍ هُوَ الَّذِي إِذَا دَخَلْتَ الْمَدِينَةَ قُلْتَ إِلَى مَنْ أَوْصَى فُلَانٌ قَالُوا إِلَى فُلَانٍ‏.

Heasws said: ‘This matter cannot happen except with the clear Command. It is which, when you enter the city, you said, ‘To whom did so and so (Imamasws) bequeath to?’ They would say, ‘To so and so (the next Imamasws)’’.⁵⁹⁸

(The book) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ – Ibn Al Waleed, from Al Saffar, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab and al Yaqteeny, both together from Ibn Abu Najran,

From Isa Bin Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Umar, son of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, from his uncleasws Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws, said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘If it (death) happens, and may Allahazwj not Show me yourasws day, so whom should I’. Heasws gestured towards Musaasws.

I said to himasws, ‘If heasws passes away, then to whom?’ Heasws said: ‘To hisasws sonasws’. I said, ‘If hisasws sonasws passes away and leaves an elder brother and a young son, then whom should I follow?’ Heasws said: ‘Hisasws sonasws. Then like that, for ever’.

فَقُلْتُ فَإِنْ أَنَا لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ وَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْ مَوْضِعَهُ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ قَالَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَلَّى مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْ حُجَجِكَ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْإِمَامِ الْمَاضِي فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُجْزِيكَ‏.

I said, ‘Supposing I do not recognise himasws, and do not recognise hisasws place, what should I do?’ Heasws said: ‘You should say, ‘O Allahazwj! I hereby follow the oneasws remaining from Yourazwj Divine Authorities, from a sonasws of the past Imamasws’, so that would suffice you’’.⁶⁰⁰

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws, ‘Can the people happen to be in a state they are not recognising the Imamasws?’ Heasws said: ‘That can be said to be so’. I said, ‘So what should they be doing?’ Heasws said: ‘They should adhere with the command of the former oneasws until the latter is manifested to them’’.⁶⁰¹

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Abu Al Sabbah who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘What are youasws saying regarding a man who was called to this matter, so he recognises it and he is in a cut off land, when the expiry comes to the Imamasws. While he is awaiting, when the death comes to him’.

Heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! He would be at the status of the one who emigrates to Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww, and he dies, so his Recompense would fall upon Allah; [4:100]’’.⁶⁰²

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Ibn Abu Umeyr who said,

‘Zurara diverted his son Ubeyd to Al-Medina to get the news for him of Abu Al-Hassanasws and Abdullah (Al-Fat’h), but his son died before he returned to him. Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Hakeem who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassanasws the 1st and mentioned Zurara to him and his diverting his son Ubeyd to Al-Medina.

فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ إِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ زُرَارَةُ مِمَّنْ قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ مَنْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُهاجِراً إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ ثُمَّ يُدْرِكْهُ الْمَوْتُ فَقَدْ وَقَعَ أَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ‏.

Abu Al-Hassanasws said: ‘Iasws hope that Zurara happens to be from the ones Allahazwj Said: the one who goes out from his would emigrating to Allah and His Rasool, then death overtakes him, so his Recompense would fall upon Allah; [4:100]’’.⁶⁰³

Tafseer Al Ayyashi, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws, ‘When it occurs for the Imamasws and event (of death), how should the people deal with it?’

قَالَ كَانُوا يَكُونُونَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ فَلَوْ لا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ مِنْهُمْ طائِفَةٌ لِيَتَفَقَّهُوا إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ يَحْذَرُونَ‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا حَالُهُمْ قَالَ هُمْ فِي عُذْرٍ.

Heasws said: ‘They should become just as Allahazwj Said: so why don’t a group of them from every sect from them to obtain understanding [9:122] – up to Hisazwj Words: perhaps they would be cautious? [9:122]’. I said, ‘So what is their state?’ Heasws said: ‘They would be in excuse’’.⁶⁰⁴

10- وَ عَنْهُ أَيْضاً فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى‏ مَا تَقُولُ فِي قَوْمٍ هَلَكَ إِمَامُهُمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ‏ فَلَوْ لا نَفَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ فِرْقَةٍ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ يَحْذَرُونَ‏

And from him as well in another report, ‘What are youasws saying regarding a people whose Imamasws has passed away, what should they be doing?’ Heasws said to me: ‘Have you not read the Book of Allahazwj: so why don’t a group of them from every sect [9:122] – up to Hisazwj Words: perhaps they would be cautious? [9:122]’.

قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا حَالُ الْمُنْتَظِرِينَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ الْمُتَفَقِّهُونَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِيسَى صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا خَمْسُونَ وَ مِائَتَا سَنَةٍ فَمَاتَ قَوْمٌ عَلَى دِينِ عِيسَى انْتِظَاراً لِدِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَآتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ‏ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ‏.

I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! So, what is the state of the awaiters until the ones obtaining understanding return?’ Heasws said to me: ‘May Allahazwj have Mercy on you! Do you not know that in between Muhammadsaww and Isaas were two hundred and fifty years? So, people had died upon the Religion of Isa awaiting the Religion of Muhammadsaww, so Allahazwj Gave them their Recompense twice’’.⁶⁰⁵

And as for mysaww expiry, so your deeds would be Presented unto mesaww. Whatever would be from the good deeds, Isaww shall get Allahazwj to Increase these for you, and whatever was from the ugly deeds, Isaww shall seek Forgiveness of Allahazwj for you’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ جَدِّي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُكَ صَنَعْتَ شَيْئاً مَا صَنَعَهُ أَحَدٌ قَطُّ رَأَيْتُكَ رَمَيْتَ الْجَمَرَاتِ ثُمَّ رَمَيْتَ بِخَمْسَةٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَةٍ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ وَ اثْنَتَيْنِ فِي نَاحِيَةٍ

My grandfather said to himasws, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws! I saw youasws do something what no one (else) has done at all! I saw youasws pelt the rocks, then youasws threw five after that, three in a corner and two in a corner’.

قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ كُلُّ مَوْسِمٍ أُخْرِجَا الْفَاسِقَيْنِ الْغَاصِبَيْنِ‏ ثُمَّ يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا هَاهُنَا لَا يَرَاهُمَا إِلَّا إِمَامٌ عَدْلٌ فَرَمَيْتُ الْأَوَّلَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَ الْآخَرَ ثَلَاثَةً لِأَنَّ الْآخَرَ أَخْبَثُ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِ‏.

Heasws said: ‘Yes, whenever it was every season (of Hajj), the mischief-makers, the usurpers are brought out, then there is a separation between the two over here. None can see the two except a just Imamasws. So, Iasws pelted the first (Abu Bakr) two (pebbles), and the other (Umar) three (pebbles), because the other ones is wickeder than the first one’’.⁶²⁰

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported by a deleted chain, from Jabir Bin Abdullahasws having said,

‘Ira saw Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws, and heasws was outside from Al-Kufa. Ira followed himasws from behind himasws until heasws came to a cemetery of the Jews and paused in the middle of it, and called out: ‘O Jews!’ They answered himasws from the interior of the graves, ‘At yourasws service! At yourasws service!’ – meaning obedience with that, ‘O our Masterasws!’

فَقَالَ كَيْفَ تَرَوْنَ الْعَذَابَ فَقَالُوا بِعِصْيَانِنِا لَكَ كَهَارُونَ فَنَحْنُ وَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ فِي الْعَذَابِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

Heasws said: ‘How do you see the punishment?’ They said, ‘Due to our disobedience to youasws, being forced, so we and the one who disobeyed youasws would be in the punishment up to the Day of Qiyamah’.

ثُمَّ صَاحَ صَيْحَةً كَادَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ يَنْقَلِبْنَ فَوَقَعْتُ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَى وَجْهِي مِنْ هَوْلِ مَا رَأَيْتُ فَلَمَّا أَفَقْتُ رَأَيْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى سَرِيرٍ مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ حَمْرَاءَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ إِكْلِيلٌ مِنَ الْجَوْهَرِ وَ عَلَيْهِ حُلَلٌ خُضْرٌ وَ صُفْرٌ وَ وَجْهُهُ كَدَارَةِ الْقَمَرِ

Then heasws shouted such a shout, the skies almost overturned, and Ira fell down unconscious upon my face from the horror of what I saw. When Ira woke up, Ira saw Amir Al-Momineenasws upon a throne of red ruby having a crown of jewels upon hisasws head, and upon himasws was a green and yellow garment, and hisasws face was like the full moon.

فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي هَذَا مُلْكٌ عَظِيمٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ مُلْكَنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ وَ سُلْطَانَنَا أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِ

Ira said, ‘My Masterasws! This is a great kingdom!’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, O Jabir! Ourasws kingdom is greater than the kingdom of Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas, and ourasws authority is greater than hisas authority’.

ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَ دَخَلْنَا الْكُوفَةَ وَ دَخَلْتُ خَلْفَهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَعَلَ يَخْطُو خُطُوَاتٍ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا فَعَلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ أَبَداً فَقُلْتُ يَا مَوْلَايَ لِمَنْ تُكَلِّمُ وَ لِمَنْ تُخَاطِبُ وَ لَيْسَ‏ أَرَى أَحَداً

Then heasws returned and we entered Al-Kufa and Ira entered behind himasws to the Masjid. Heasws went on step by step and heasws was saying: ‘No, by Allahazwj, Iasws will not do so! No, by Allahazwj, that will not happen, ever!’ Ira said, ‘O my Masterasws! Who were youasws speaking to, and whom were youasws addressing to, and Ira didn’t see anyone?’

فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ كُشِفَ لِي عَنْ بَرَهُوتَ فَرَأَيْتُ شَيْبُويَه‏ وَ حَبْتَرَ وَ هُمَا يُعَذَّبَانِ فِي جَوْفِ تَابُوتٍ فِي بَرَهُوتَ فَنَادَيَانِي يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رُدَّنَا إِلَى الدُّنْيَا نُقِرَّ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ نُقِرَّ بِالْوَلَايَةِ لَكَ

Heasws said: ‘O Jabir! It was uncovered for measws from (the valley of) Barhout, and Iasws saw Sheybuwiya and Hibter (Abu Bakr & Umar), and they were both being punished in the interior of a coffin in Barhout. They both called out to me, ‘O Abu Al Hassanasws! O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Return us to the world, we will acknowledge with yourasws merits, and we will acknowledge with the Wilayah for youasws’.

فَقُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا فَعَلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ أَبَداً ثُمَّ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ وَ لَوْ رُدُّوا لَعادُوا لِما نُهُوا عَنْهُ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَكاذِبُونَ‏ يَا جَابِرُ وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ خَالَفَ وَصِيَّ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا حُشِرَ أَعْمَى‏ يَتَكَبْكَبُ فِي عَرَصَاتِ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Iasws said: ‘No, by Allahazwj! Iasws will not do so. No, by Allahazwj, that will not happen, ever!’ Then heasws recited the Verse: ‘And if they were to be returned, they would repeat what they had been Forbidden from; and they (would still) be lying [6:28]. (Then heasws said): ‘O Jabir! And there is no one opposing a successoras of a Prophetas except he would be Resurrected blind groping around in the plains of Qiyamah’’.⁶²¹

12- وَ رَوَى الشَّيْخُ الْجَلِيلُ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي كِتَابِ الْمُحْتَضَرِ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْقَائِمِ لِلْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ ابْنِ نُبَاتَةَ فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ يَذْكُرُ فِيهِ‏ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْكُوفَةِ وَ مَرَّ حَتَّى أَتَى الْغَرِيَّيْنِ فَجَازَهُ فَلَحِقْنَاهُ وَ هُوَ مُسْتَلْقٍ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بِجَسَدِهِ لَيْسَ تَحْتَهُ ثَوْبٌ

And it is reported by the majestic sheykh Al Hassan Bin Suleyman, in the book ‘Al Mukhtasar’ from the book ‘Al Qaim’ of Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from Ibn Tareyf, from Ibn Nubata,

‘In a lengthy Hadeeth mentioning in it that Amir Al-Momineenasws went out from Al-Kufa and went on until heasws came to Al-Ghariyeyn. Heasws crossed it and I joined up with himasws and heasws was adhering upon the ground with hisasws body, not having any sheet (upon the ground) under himasws.

فَقَالَ لَهُ قَنْبَرٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ لَا أَبْسُطُ ثَوْبِي تَحْتَكَ قَالَ لَا هَلْ هِيَ إِلَّا تُرْبَةُ مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُزَاحَمَتُهُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ قَالَ الْأَصْبَغُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُرْبَةُ مُؤْمِنٍ فَقَدْ عَرَفْنَاهَا كَانَتْ أَوْ تَكُونُ فَمَا مُزَاحَمَتُهُ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ

Qanbar said to himasws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Shall I spread out myasws cloak beneath youasws?’ Heasws said: ‘No, it is except the grave of a Momin, or its rival regarding his sitting?’ Al-Asbagh said, ‘I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws! Grave of the Momin, we have recognised it, whether it was or would happen to be, but what is its rival regarding his sitting?’

فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ نُبَاتَةَ لَوْ كُشِفَ لَكُمْ لَرَأَيْتُمْ‏ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي هَذَا الظَّهْرِ حَلَقاً يَتَزَاوَرُونَ وَ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ إِنَّ فِي هَذَا الظَّهْرِ رُوحَ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ بِوَادِي‏ بَرَهُوتَ نَسَمَةَ كُلِّ كَافِرٍ.

Heasws said: ‘O Ibn Nubata! If it was uncovered for you, you would (be able to) see souls of the Momineen in this backyard in circles visiting each other and discussing. In this backyard is the soul of every Momin, and in the valley of Barhout is the person of every Kafir’’.⁶²²

And from the mentioned book of Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammad Bin Marwan, from Zayd Al Shahham,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The souls of the Momineen are seeing the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww in mount Razwa. They eat from theirasws food and drink from theirasws drinks, and discuss with themasws in theirasws gatherings until ourasws Qaimasws of Peopleasws of the Household rises. So, when ourasws Qaimasws does rise, Allahazwj would Resurrect them and they would come with himasws, exclaiming ‘Talbiyya’, group by group. At that, the falsifiers would doubt, and the imposters would fade away, and the ones of proximity would attain salvation’’.⁶²³

‘From Abu Ja’farasws, from hisasws fatherasws, from hisasws grandfatherasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah and the people of the Paradise will settle in the Paradise, and the people of the Fire into the Fire, a servant would remain in the Fire for seventy ‘Khareyf’, and each ‘Khareyf’ is of seventy years.

ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يُنَادِيهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ لَمَّا رَحِمْتَنِي فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ ع اهْبِطْ إِلَى عَبْدِي فَأَخْرِجْهُ فَيَقُولُ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ كَيْفَ لِي بِالْهُبُوطِ فِي النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنِّي قَدْ أَمَرْتُهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ عَلَيْكَ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً

Then he would ask Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic and call out to Himazwj saying, ‘O Lordazwj! I ask Youazwj by the right of Muhammadsaww and Peopleasws of hissaww Household, please have Mercy on me’. Allahazwj, Majestic is Hisazwj Majesty would Reveal to Jibraeelas: “Descend to Myazwj servant and Extract him!” Jibraeelas would say: ‘And can it be for meas with the descent into the Fire?’ Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted would Say: “Iazwj have Commanded it to become cool and safe upon youas!”

قَالَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ فَمَا عِلْمِي بِمَوْضِعِهِ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّهُ مِنْ جُبٍّ مِنْ سِجِّينٍ فَيَهْبِطُ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى النَّارِ فَيَجِدُهُ مَعْقُولًا عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَيُخْرِجُهُ فَيَقِفُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا عَبْدِي كَمْ لَبِثْتَ فِي النَّارِ تُنَاشِدُنِي فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا أُحْصِيهِ

Heas would say: ‘O Lordazwj! So, what would let me know of his place?’ Heazwj would Say: “He is in a pit of Sijjeen!” So, Jibraeelas would descend into the Fire and find him fallen upon his face. Heas would extract him and pause him in front of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. Allahazwj the Exalted would Say: “O Myazwj servant! How much did you tarry in the Fire calling out to Meazwj?” He would say, ‘O Lordazwj! I cannot count it’.

فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ أَمَا وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي لَوْ لَا مَنْ سَأَلْتَنِي بِحَقِّهِمْ عِنْدِي لَأَطَلْتُ هَوَانَكَ فِي النَّارِ وَ لَكِنَّهُ حَتْمٌ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا يَسْأَلَنِي عَبْدٌ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا غَفَرْتُهُ لَهُ مَا كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ الْيَوْمَ ثُمَّ يُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ.

Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Say to him: “But, by Myazwj Mighty and Myazwj Majesty! Had you not asked Meazwj by theirasws right in Myazwj Presence, your shame would have been prolonged in the Fire. But, Iazwj have Decreed upon Myselfazwj that no servant will ask Meazwj by the right of Muhammadsaww and Peopleasws of hissaww Household except and Iazwj will Forgive for him whatever would be between Meazwj and him, and Iazwj have Forgiven for you today!” Then Heazwj would Command with him to the Paradise’’.⁶³⁴

(The book) ‘Rijal Al Kashy’ – Muhammad Bin Masoud who said, ‘I heard Ali Bin Al Hassan Bin Fazzal saying, ‘Ajlan Abu Salih said reliably,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said to him: ‘O Ajlan! It is as if Iasws am looking at you to myasws side and the people are being presented unto measws’’.⁶³⁵

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Al Bursy in (the book) ‘Mashariq’, from Shureyh, by his chain, from Nafau, from Umar Bin Al Khattab,

‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘O Aliasws! You are a warner of mysaww community, and youasws are its nourisher, and youasws are in-charge of mysaww Fountain, and youasws are its quencher, and youasws are - O Aliasws with its reins, and for are all its ends, and for youasws is the latter and the former.

فَأَنْتَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ السَّاقِي وَ الْحَسَنُ الذَّائِدُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ الْأَمِيرُ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْفَارِطُ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ النَّاشِرُ وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّائِقُ وَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُحْصِي لِلْمُحِبِّ وَ الْمُنَافِقِ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى مُرَتِّبُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مُنْزِلُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ مَنَازِلَهُمْ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ خَطِيبُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ جَامِعُهُمْ حَيْثُ‏ يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يَرْضى‏.

On the Day of Qiyamah youasws will be the quencher, and Al-Hassanasws the protector, and Al-Husaynasws the Emir, and Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws the preceder, and Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws the publisher, and Ja’farasws Bin Muhammadasws the usher, and Musaasws Bin Ja’farasws the affectionate to the ones who love (Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww), and Aliasws Bin Musaasws the arranger of the Momineen, and Muhammadasws Bin Aliasws the descended of the inhabitants of the Paradise, and Aliasws Bin Muhammadasws addressor of the inhabitants of the Paradise, and Al-Hassanasws Bin Aliasws their gatherer Allah Permits it for one He so Desires and is Pleased (with) [53:26]’’.⁶³⁶

8- وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ الْجِنَانِ وَ قَاسِمُ النِّيرَانِ‏ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ مَالِكاً وَ رِضْوَانَ يَأْتِيَانِي غَداً عَنْ أَمْرِ الرَّحْمَنِ فَيَقُولَانِ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ مَفَاتِيحُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ هِبَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ فَسَلِّمْهَا إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

And from Ibn Abbas,

‘From the Prophetsaww having said: ‘O Aliasws! Youasws are in-charge of the Gardens, and distributor of the fires. Indeed! And Maalik and Rizwaan (Keepers of Paradise and Hell) would both come to mesaww tomorrow by the Command of the Beneficent. They would say to me: ‘O Muhammadsaww! These are the keys of the Paradise and the Fire, a gift from Allahazwj to yousaww, so submit these to Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

فَأَدْفَعُهَا إِلَيْكَ فَمَفَاتِيحُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ يَوْمَئِذٍ بِيَدِكَ تَفْعَلُ بِهَا مَا تَشَاءُ.

So, Isaww shall hand the keys of the Paradise and the Fire on that day to be in yourasws hands, youasws can do with these whatever youasws so desire to’’.⁶³⁷

9- وَ رَوَى الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع يُدْخِلُ الْجَنَّةَ مُحِبَّهُ وَ النَّارَ عَدُوَّهُ فَأَيْنَ مَالِكٌ وَ رِضْوَانُ إِذاً

And it is reported by Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws, ‘When Aliasws will enter ones who love himasws into the Paradise, and hisasws enemies into the Fire, so where would be Maalik and Rizwaan (keepers of Paradise and Hell) then?’

فَقَالَ يَا مُفَضَّلُ أَ لَيْسَ الْخَلَائِقُ كُلُّهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِأَمْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَعَلِيٌّ ع يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَسِيمُ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ بِأَمْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَالِكٌ وَ رِضْوَانُ أَمْرُهُمَا إِلَيْهِ خُذْهَا يَا مُفَضِّلُ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ مَكْنُونِ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَخْزُونِهِ‏.

Heasws said: ‘O Mufazzal! Wouldn’t all the creatures, all of them, be under the orders of Muhammadsaww?’ I said, ‘Yes’. Heasws said: ‘On the Day of Judgment, Aliasws would distribute the Paradise and the Fire by the orders of Muhammadsaww, and Maalik and Rizwaan, their matter would be to himasws. Take it, O Mufazzal, for it is from the hidden knowledge and it’s treasured’’.⁶³⁸

10- وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وُلِّينَا أَمْرَ شِيعَتِنَا فَمَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ لَنَا وَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا فَهُوَ لَهُمْ وَ مَا كَانَ لِلنَّاسِ فَهُوَ عَلَيْنَا.

And it is reported from Al-Sadiqasws having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, weasws would be Made in-charge of ourasws Shias. So, whatever was against them for Allahazwj, it would be for usasws, and whatever would be for usasws, so it would be for them, and whatever would be for the people, it would be upon usasws’’.⁶³⁹

11- وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ جَمِيلٍ‏ مَا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ لَنَا وَ مَا كَانَ لِلنَّاسِ اسْتَوْهَبْنَاهُ وَ مَا كَانَ لَنَا فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ مَنْ عَفَا عَنْ مُحِبِّيهِ‏.

And in a report of Ibn Jameel, ‘(Heasws said): ‘Whatever would be against them for Allahazwj, it would be for usasws, and whatever would be for the people, weasws shall gift it, and whatever would be for usasws, then weasws would be more rightful who from the ones who love himasws to pardon’’.⁶⁴⁰

12- وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّانِي ع إِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِكُمْ قَوْماً يَشْرَبُونَ الْخَمْرَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ

And in a report – A man from the hypocrites said to Abu Al-Hassanasws the 2nd, ‘From yourasws Shias there is a group drinking the wine upon the road’.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَلَا يَزِيغُونَ عَنْهُ

Heasws said: ‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Made them to be upon the road, so they are not deviating from it’.

وَ اعْتَرَضَهُ آخَرُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ شِيعَتِكَ مَنْ يَشْرَبُ النَّبِيذَ فَقَالَ ع قَدْ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَشْرَبُونَ النَّبِيذَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا أَعْنِي مَاءَ الْعَسَلِ وَ إِنَّمَا أَعْنِي الْخَمْرَ قَالَ فَعَرِقَ وَجْهُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ فِي قَلْبِ الْمُؤْمِنِ بَيْنَ رَسِيسِ‏ الْخَمْرِ وَ حُبِّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ

And another one objected to himasws saying, ‘From yourasws Shias is one who drinks Al-Nabeez’. Heasws said: ‘The companions of Rasool-Allahsaww used to drink it’. The man said, ‘I did not mean water of the honey, and rather I meant the wine’. Hisasws face perspired, then heasws said: ‘Allahazwj is more benevolent that to Gather in the heart of the Momin traces of the wine and ourasws love of Peopleasws of the Household’.

ثُمَّ صَبَرَ هُنَيْئَةً وَ قَالَ فَإِنْ فَعَلَهَا الْمَنْكُوبُ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّهُ يَجِدُ رَبّاً رَءُوفاً وَ نَبِيّاً عَطُوفاً وَ إِمَاماً لَهُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ عَرُوفاً وَ سَادَةً لَهُ بِالشَّفَاعَةِ وُقُوفاً وَ تَجِدُ أَنْتَ رُوحَكَ فِي بَرَهُوتَ مَلُوفاً.

Then heasws was patient for a while and said: ‘So if the stricken one from them were to do it, he would find a Lordazwj as Kind, and a Prophetsaww as sympathetic, and an Imamasws a recogniser to him at the Fountain, and a Masterasws pausing for him with the intercession, and you will find your soul to be in Barhout being devoured’’.⁶⁴¹

13- وَ قَالَ الْكَرَاجُكِيُّ فِي كَنْزِ الْفَوَائِدِ فِي بَيَانِ مُعْتَقَدِ الْإِمَامِيَّةِ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُعْتَقَدَ أَنَّ أَنْبِيَاءَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ حُجَجَهُ ع هُمْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُتَوَلُّونَ لِلْحِسَابِ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ أَنَّ حُجَّةَ أَهْلِ كُلِّ زَمَانٍ يَتَوَلَّى أَمْرَ رَعِيَّتِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا فِي وَقْتِهِ‏ وَ أَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ع هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْأَعْرَافِ الَّذِينَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَرَفَهُمْ وَ عَرَفُوهُ وَ لَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَنْكَرَهُمْ وَ أَنْكَرُوهُ وَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يُحَاسِبُ أَهْلَ وَقْتِهِ وَ عَصْرِهِ وَ كَذَلِكَ كُلُّ إِمَامٍ بَعْدَهُ وَ أَنَّ الْمَهْدِيَّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ هُوَ الْمُوَاقِفُ لِأَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ وَ الْمُسَائِلُ لِلَّذِينَ فِي وَقْتِهِ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Manaqib’ of Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shazan, by his chain,

‘From Abu Zarrra having said, ‘The Prophetsaww looked at Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and hesaww said: ‘This is the best of the former ones and the latter ones, from the inhabitants of the skies and the earths. This is chief of the successorsas, and Imamasws of the pious, and guide of the resplendent.

إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ جَاءَ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ مِنْ نُوقِ الْجَنَّةِ قَدْ أَضَاءَتِ الْقِيَامَةُ مِنْ ضَوْئِهَا وَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ تَاجٌ مُرَصَّعٌ بِالزَّبَرْجَدِ وَ الْيَاقُوتِ

When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, heasws will come upon a camel from the camels of the Paradise, the (plains) of Qiyamah would be illuminated from hisasws illumination, and upon hisasws heard would be a crown embedded with aquamarine and rubies.

فَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ هَذَا مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ يَقُولُ النَّبِيُّونَ هَذَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ‏ فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مِنْ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ هَذَا الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ هَذَا وَصِيُّ حَبِيبِ اللَّهِ‏ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

The Angels would say, ‘This is an Angel of Proximity’, and the Prophetsas would say: ‘This is a Messenger Prophetas’. So, a caller would call out from the interior of the Throne: ‘This is the greatest truthful! This is a successorasws of the beloved of Allahazwj! This is Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws!’

فَيَقِفُ عَلَى مَتْنِ‏ جَهَنَّمَ فَيُخْرِجُ مِنْهَا مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَ يُدْخِلُ فِيهَا مَنْ يُبْغِضُ‏وَ يَأْتِي أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ فَيُدْخِلُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ‏.

Heasws would pause upon an edge of Hell and Extract from it the ones heasws loves, and enter into it ones heasws hates, and heasws would come to the gates of Paradise and enter hisasws friends into the Paradise without any Reckoning’’.⁶⁴³

15- وَ مِنْهُ، رَفَعَهُ إِلَى جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ لِفَصْلِ الْخِطَابِ دَعَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ دَعَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَيُكْسَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حُلَّةً خَضْرَاءَ تُضِي‏ءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ يُكْسَى عَلِيٌّ ع مِثْلَهَا وَ يُكْسَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حُلَّةً وَرْدِيَّةً تُضِي‏ءُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ يُكْسَى عَلِيٌّ ع مِثْلَهَا

And from him, raising it to Jabir,

‘From Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah and Allahazwj Gathers the former ones and the latter ones for the Decisive Address, Heazwj would Call Rasool-Allahsaww and Call Amir Al-Momineenasws. Heazwj would Clothe Rasool-Allahsaww in a green garment, illuminating what is between the east and the west, and Heazwj would Clothe Aliasws similar to it, and Clothe Rasool-Allahsaww a pink garment illuminating what is between the east and the west, and Clothe Aliasws similar to it.

ثُمَّ يُدْعَى بِنَا فَيُدْفَعُ إِلَيْنَا حِسَابُ النَّاسِ فَنَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ نُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ نُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ النَّارِ النَّارَ

Then Heazwj would Call usasws and Hand over to us the reckoning of the people. By Allahazwj! Weasws shall enter the people of the Paradise into the Paradise, and weasws shall enter the people of the Fire into the Fire.

ثُمَّ يُدْعَى بِالنَّبِيِّينَ ع فَيُقَامُونَ صَفَّيْنِ عِنْدَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَتَّى نَفْرُغَ مِنْ حِسَابِ النَّاسِ فَإِذَا دَخَلَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ أَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَلِيّاً فَأَنْزَلَهُمْ مَنَازِلَهُمْ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

Then Heazwj would Call the Prophetsas and theyas would be standing in rows at the Throne of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic until weasws are free from Reckoning the people. When weasws have entered the people of the Paradise into the Paradise, and people of the Fire into the Fire, Allahazwj Blessed and Exalted would Sent Aliasws, and heasws would descend them into their houses.

وَ زَوَّجَهُمْ- فَعَلِيٌ‏ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُزَوِّجُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ مَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَحَدٍ غَيْرِهِ كَرَامَةً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ لَهُ وَ فَضْلًا فَضَّلَهُ بِهِ وَ مَنَّ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ

And heasws will get them married. By Allahazwj! Heasws will get the people of the Paradise married, and that is not for anyone apart from himasws, being a prestige from Allahazwj, Mighty is Hisazwj Mention, for himasws, and a Grace heasws would be Graced with, and as a Conferment upon himasws with it.

وَ هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ يُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ النَّارِ النَّارَ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي يُغْلِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ إِذَا دَخَلُوا فِيهَا أَبْوَابَهَا وَ يُغْلِقُ عَلَى أَهْلِ النَّارِ إِذَا دَخَلُوا فِيهَا أَبْوَابَهَا لِأَنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَبْوَابَ النَّارِ إِلَيْهِ‏.

And by Allahazwj, heasws will enter the people of the Fire into the Fire, and heasws is the one who will lock the gates upon the people of the Paradise when they have entered into it, and heasws will lock the gates upon the people of the Fire when they have entered into it, because the gate of the Paradise are to himasws, and the gates of the Fire are to himasws’’.⁶⁴⁴

16- وَ مِنْهُ، مَرْفُوعاً إِلَى سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع إِذَا كَانَ لَكَ يَا سَمَاعَةُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حَاجَةٌ فَقُلِ

And from him, raising it to Sama’at who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassanasws said to me: ‘O Sama’at! Whenever there is a need for you with Allahazwj, then say,

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ فَإِنَّ لَهُمَا عِنْدَكَ شَأْناً مِنَ الشَّأْنِ وَ قَدْراً مِنَ الْقَدْرِ فَبِحَقِّ ذَلِكَ الشَّأْنِ وَ بِحَقِّ ذَلِكَ الْقَدْرِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا

‘O Allahazwj! I ask Youazwj by the right of Muhammadsaww and Aliasws, as there is a glory from the glories for themasws in Yourazwj Presence, and a worth from the worth(s). So, by the right of that glory, and by the right of that worth, Send Salawat upon Muhammadsaww and Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww, and that Youazwj do such and such with me’.

فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يَبْقَ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنٌ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَيْهِمَا فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ‏.

Surely, when it will be the Day of Qiyamah, there will neither remain any Angel of Proximity, nor a Messenger Prophetas, nor a Momin whose heart Allahazwj has Tested for the Eman, except and he would be needy to themasws both during that Day’’.⁶⁴⁵

CHAPTER 1 – MISCELLANEOUS ARGUMENTS REGARDING THE IMAMATE FROM THEMasws AND FROM THEIRasws COMPANIONS

1- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الصَّوْلِيِّ قَالَ: يُحْكَى لِلرِّضَا ع‏ خَبَرٌ مُخْتَلِفُ الْأَلْفَاظِ لَمْ تَقَعْ لِي رِوَايَتُهُ بِإِسْنَادٍ أَعْمَلُ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَلْفَاظُ مَنْ رَوَاهُ إِلَّا أَنِّي سَآتِي بِهِ وَ بِمَعَانِيهِ وَ إِنِ اخْتَلَفَتْ أَلْفَاظُهُ

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al Reza’ – Al Husayn Bin Ahmad al Bayhaqi, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Sawly who said,

‘Ahadeeth have been narrated of Al-Rezaasws of different wordings, there did not fall its reports by chain I can work upon, and the wording has differed by the ones reporting it, except that I (Majlisi) would be coming with it, and with its transmitters, and even if the wording is different.

كَانَ الْمَأْمُونُ فِي بَاطِنِهِ يُحِبُّ سَقَطَاتِ‏ الرِّضَا ع وَ أَنْ يَعْلُوَهُ الْمُحْتَجُّ وَ إِنْ أَظْهَرَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَاجْتَمَعَ عِنْدَهُ الْفُقَهَاءُ وَ الْمُتَكَلِّمُونَ فَدَسَّ إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ نَاظِرُوهُ فِي الْإِمَامَةِ

Al-Mamoun, in his hidden motives, loved to make Al-Rezaasws fall down, and that the adversaries to rise above himasws, and even though in the apparent it was other than that. So, he gathered the jurists and the speakers in his presence and pressured them to debate himasws regarding the Imamate.

فَقَالَ لَهُمُ الرِّضَا ع اقْتَصِرُوا عَلَى وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ يَلْزَمُكُمْ مَا لَزِمَهُ فَرَضُوا بِرَجُلٍ يُعْرَفُ بِيَحْيَى بْنِ الضَّحَّاكِ السَّمَرْقَنْدِيِّ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِخُرَاسَانَ مِثْلُهُ فَقَالَ الرِّضَا ع يَا يَحْيَى سَلْ مَا شِئْتَ فَقَالَ‏ نَتَكَلَّمُ فِي الْإِمَامَةِ كَيْفَ ادَّعَيْتَ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَؤُمَّ وَ تَرَكْتَ مَنْ أَمَّ وَ وَقَعَ الرِّضَا بِهِ

Al-Rezaasws said to them: ‘Limit yourself upon one of you, obliging you all what obliges him’. They were pleased with a man known as Yahya Bin Al-Zahhak Al-Samarqandy, and there did not happen to be in Khurasan anyone like him. Al-Rezaasws said: ‘O Yahya! Ask whatever you like’. He said, ‘We shall speak regarding the Imamate. How did youasws claim it to be for one who does not lead, and neglected one does lead, and the pleasure (of Allahazwj) occurs with him?’

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا يَحْيَى أَخْبِرْنِي عَمَّنْ صَدَقَ كَاذِباً عَلَى نَفْسِهِ أَوْ كَذَبَ صَادِقاً عَنْ نَفْسِهِ أَ يَكُونُ مُحِقّاً مُصِيباً أَمْ مُبْطِلًا مُخْطِئاً فَسَكَتَ يَحْيَى‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَأْمُونُ أَجِبْهُ فَقَالَ يُعْفِينِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ جَوَابِهِ فَقَالَ الْمَأْمُونُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ عَرِّفْنَا الْغَرَضَ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ

Heasws said to him: ‘O Yahya! Inform me about the one who ratifies a liar upon himself, or belies a truthful from himself. Can he happen to be rightful, correct, or false, erroneous?’ Yahya was silent. Al-Mamoun said to him, ‘Answer him’. He said, ‘Excuse me, commander of the faithful, from answering him’. Al-Mamoun said, ‘O Abu Al Hassanasws! Make us recognise the purpose in this question’.

فَقَالَ لَا بُدَّ لِيَحْيَى مِنْ أَنْ يُخْبِرَ عَنْ أَئِمَّتِهِ أَنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَوْ صَدَقُوا فَإِنْ زَعَمُوا أَنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا فَلَا إِمَامَةَ لِكَذَّابٍ وَ إِنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُمْ صَدَقُوا فَقَدْ قَالَ أَوَّلُهُمْ وُلِّيتُكُمْ وَ لَسْتُ بِخَيْرِكُمْ وَ قَالَ تَالِيهِ كَانَتْ بَيْعَةُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَلْتَةً فَمَنْ عَادَ لِمِثْلِهَا فَاقْتُلُوهُ

Heasws said: ‘There is no escape for Yahya from informing about his imams, either they lied upon themselves, or they were truthful. If they claim that they were liars, so there is no Imamate for a liar. And if he claims that they were truthful, so their first one (Abu Bakr) has said, ‘I am ruling you and I am not your best one’. And the one following him (Umar) said, ‘Allegiance to Abu Bakr was an error, so the one who repeats to similar to it, then kill him’.

فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرْضَى‏ لِمَنْ فَعَلَ مِثْلَ فِعْلِهِمْ إِلَّا بِالْقَتْلِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ وَ الْخَيْرِيَّةُ لَا تَقَعُ إِلَّا بِنُعُوتٍ مِنْهَا الْعِلْمُ وَ مِنْهَا الْجِهَادُ وَ مِنْهَا سَائِرُ الْفَضَائِلِ وَ لَيْسَتْ فِيهِ وَ مَنْ كَانَتْ بَيْعَتُهُ فَلْتَةً يَجِبُ الْقَتْلُ عَلَى مَنْ فَعَلَ مِثْلَهَا كَيْفَ يُقَبَلُ عَهْدُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ هَذَا صُورَتُهُ

By Allahazwj! He was not pleased for the one who does similar to their deeds except with the killing. So, the one who does not happen to be the best of the people, and its choice cannot occur except with attributes from it. From it is the knowledge, and from it is the Jihad, and from it is the rest of the merits, and these aren’t in him. And the one, allegiance to whom is an error obligating the killing upon the one who does similar to it, how can his pact be acceptable to other, and this is its form?

ثُمَّ يَقُولُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ إِنَّ لِي شَيْطَاناً يَعْتَرِينِي فَإِذَا مَالَ بِي فَقَوِّمُونِي وَ إِذَا أَخْطَأْتُ فَأَرْشِدُونِي فَلَيْسُوا أَئِمَّةً بِقَوْلِهِمْ إِنْ كَانُوا صَدَقُوا وَ كَذَبُوا فَمَا عِنْدَ يَحْيَى فِي هَذَا

Then he said upon the pulpit, ‘There is a satanla for me wearing me down, so when there is crookedness with me, then straighten me, and when I make a mistake then guide me’. Thus, they weren’t imams by their own words, whether they were speaking the truth or lying. So, what is with Yahya regarding this?’

فَعَجِبَ الْمَأْمُونُ مِنْ كَلَامِهِ ع وَ قَالَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ يُحْسِنُ هَذَا سِوَاكَ‏.

Al-Mamoun was astounded from hisasws speech and said, ‘O Abu Al Hassanasws! There is no one in the earth anyone good at this besides youasws’’.⁶⁴⁶

2- ج، الإحتجاج عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ آخِذاً بِحَلْقَةِ بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ مُقْبِلًا بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ عَرَفَنِي فَقَدْ عَرَفَنِي وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْنِي فَسَأُنَبِّئُهُ بِاسْمِي فَأَنَا جُنْدَبُ بْنُ السَّكَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيُّ أَنَا رَابِعُ أَرْبَعَةٍ مِمَّنْ أَسْلَمَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

(The book) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – From Abdullah Bin Al Samit who said,

‘I saw Abu Zarrra grabbing the knocker of the door of the Kabah, facing by his face towards the people, and heasws was saying, ‘O you people! One who recognises mera so he has recognised mera, and the one who does not recognise mera, so Ira hereby inform him with myra name. Ira am Jundab Bin Al-Sakan Bin Abdullah, Ira am Abu Zarr Al-Ghifaryra. Ira am fourth of the four from the ones who became Muslims with Rasool-Allahsaww!

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ وَ ذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ بِطُولِهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ أَلَا أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ الْمُتَحَيِّرَةُ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا لَوْ قَدَّمْتُمْ مَنْ قَدَّمَ اللَّهُ وَ أَخَّرْتُمْ مَنْ أَخَّرَ اللَّهُ وَ جَعَلْتُمُ الْوَلَايَةَ حَيْثُ جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ لَمَا عَالَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ لَمَا ضَاعَ فَرْضٌ مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا اخْتَلَفَ اثْنَانِ فِي حُكْمٍ مِنْ أَحْكَامِ اللَّهِ

Ira heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying’ – and he mentioned the Hadeeth with its length up to hisra words: ‘Indeed! O you community confused after its Prophetsaww! If you have placed forward the oneasws whom Allahazwj Placed in front, and placed back the one whom Allahazwj Placed back, and Made the Wilayah to be where Allahazwj had Made it to be, you would have held high the friend of Allahazwj, and would not have wasted an Obligation from Obligations of Allahazwj, nor would any have differed in any Judgment from Judgments of Allahazwj.

أَلَا إِنْ كَانَ عِلْمُ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ فَذُوقُوا وَبَالَ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ‏ وَ سَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ‏.

Indeed! If the knowledge of that was with Peopleasws of the Household of your Prophetsaww, then taste the evil consequences of what you have earned, And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26:227]’’.⁶⁴⁷

3- فر، تفسير فرات بن إبراهيم مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الدِّهْقَانُ مُعَنْعَناً عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِالْمَوْسِمِ وَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ مَنْ عَرَفَنِي فَقَدْ عَرَفَنِي وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْنِي فَأَنَا جُنْدَبُ بْنُ السَّكَنِ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيُّ

Tafseer Furat Bin Ibrahim – Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Zakariya Al Dahqan, transmitting from Ubeyd Bin Wail who said,

‘I saw Abu Zarr Al-Ghifaryra in the season (of Hajj), and hera was facing toward the people and hera was saying, ‘O you people! One who recognises measws so he has recognised mera, and the one who does not recognise measws, so Ira am Jundab Bin Al-Sakan Abu Zarr Al-Ghifaryra!

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفى‏ آدَمَ وَ نُوحاً وَ آلَ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ آلَ عِمْرانَ عَلَى الْعالَمِينَ ذُرِّيَّةً بَعْضُها مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ‏

I heard Rasool-Allahsaww saying just as Allahazwj the Exalted Said: Surely Allah chose Adam and Noah and the progeny of Ibrahim and the progeny of Imran above the worlds [3:33] Offspring, one being from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [3:34].

فَمُحَمَّدٌ ص مِنْ نُوحٍ وَ الْآلُ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ الصَّفْوَةُ وَ السُّلَالَةُ مِنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ الْعِتْرَةُ الْهَادِيَةُ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ وَ التَّحِيَّةُ وَ الْإِكْرَامُ بِهِ شُرِّفَ شَرِيفُهُمْ وَ بِهِ اسْتَوْجَبُوا الْفَضْلَ عَلَى قَوْمِهِمْ

So, Muhammadsaww is from Noahas, and the Progenyasws is from Ibrahimas, and the elites and the descendants are from Ismailas, and the guiding offspring are from Muhammadsaww, upon themasws is the Salawat, and the greeting, and the salutations, and the honour. By himsaww are ennobled their nobles ones, and by himsaww the merit is obligated upon their people.

فَأَهْلُ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِينَا كَالسَّمَاءِ الْمَرْفُوعَةِ وَ الْأَرْضِ الْمَبْسُوطَةِ وَ الْجِبَالِ الْمَنْصُوبَةِ وَ الْكَعْبَةِ الْمَسْتُورَةِ وَ الشَّمْسِ الْمُشْرِقَةِ وَ الْقَمَرِ السَّارِي وَ النُّجُومِ الْهَادِيَةِ وَ الشَّجَرَةِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ أَضَاءَ زَيْتُهَا وَ بُورِكَ فِي زَنْدِهَا ع‏ وَ مِنْهُمْ‏ وَصِيُّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فِي عِلْمِهِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ بِتَأْوِيلِهِ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع

The Peopleasws of the Household of the Prophetsaww among us are like the raised sky and the spread out earth, and the installed mountains, and the veiled Kabah, and the shining sun, and the radiant moon, and the guiding stars, and the tree of olives, its oil illuminating, and Blessed in its usage. And from them is the successorasws of Muhammadsaww in hissaww knowledge, and mine of knowledge in its interpretation, and guide of the resplendent, and the greatest truthful, Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws.

أَلَا أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ الْمُتَحَيِّرَةُ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا أَمَ وَ اللَّهِ‏ لَوْ قَدَّمْتُمْ مَنْ قَدَّمَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَخَّرْتُمْ مَنْ أَخَّرَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ مَا عَالَ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ لَا طَاشَ سَهْمٌ مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا تَنَازَعَتْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا

Indeed! O you community confused after its Prophetsaww! By Allahazwj! If you had placed forward oneasws whom Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww had placed forwards, and placed back one whom Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww had placed back, you would have held high a friend of Allahazwj and would not have strayed a section from the Obligations of Allahazwj, nor would this community have quarrelled regarding anything after its Prophetsaww.

أَلَا وَ عِلْمُ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ فَذُوقُوا وَبَالَ مَا كَسَبْتُمْ‏ وَ سَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ‏.

Indeed! And knowledge of that is with Peopleasws of the Household of your Prophetsaww, therefore taste the evil consequences of what you have earned: And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26:227]’’.⁶⁴⁸

4- أَقُولُ‏ وَجَدْتُ فِي بَعْضِ مُؤَلَّفَاتِ قُدَمَاءِ أَصْحَابِنَا فِي الْأَخْبَارِ مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ مُنَاظَرَةُ الْحَرُورِيِّ وَ الْبَاقِرِ ع

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is found in one of the writings of our ancient companions in the Ahadeeth, these are not its words, a debate of Al-Haroury and Al-Baqirasws.

قَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ إِنَّ فِي أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَرْبَعَ خِصَالٍ اسْتَحَقَّ بِهَا الْإِمَامَةَ قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع مَا هُنَّ قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ أَوَّلُ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ حَتَّى يُقَالَ الصِّدِّيقُ وَ الثَّانِيَةُ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْغَارِ وَ الثَّالِثَةُ الْمُتَوَلِّي أَمْرَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الرَّابِعَةُ ضَجِيعُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ

Al-Haroury said, ‘In Abu Bakr there are four characteristics, he was deserving of the imamate due to these’. Al-Baqirasws said: ‘What are these?’ He said, ‘He was the first of the truthful ones and we did not recognise it until he was called Al-Siddique (the truthful); and the second, he was a companion of Rasool-Allahsaww in the cave; and the third, he was in charge of the matter of the Salat; and the fourth, is his lying down (being buried) in hissaww grave’.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالِ هُنَّ لِصَاحِبِكَ بَانَ بِهَا مِنَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَيْحَكَ هَذِهِ الْخِصَالُ تَظُنُّ أَنَّهُنَّ مَنَاقِبُ لِصَاحِبِكَ وَ هِيَ‏ مَثَالِبُ لَهُ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Inform measws about these characteristics, are these for your master being exclusive with it from the (rest of the) people?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Woe be unto you! These characteristics which you think that these are virtues for your master, and these are (actually) faults for him!

أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ كَانَ صِدِّيقاً فَاسْأَلُوهُ مَنْ سَمَّاهُ بِهَذَا الِاسْمِ قَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع اسْأَلِ الْفُقَهَاءَ هَلْ أَجْمَعُوا عَلَى هَذَا مِنْ رِوَايَاتِهِمْ أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ اللَّهُمَّ لَا وَ قَدْ رُوِّينَا أَنَّ ذَلِكَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

As for his words that he (Abu Bakr) was truthful (Siddique), so ask him, who named him with this name?’ Al-Haroury said, ‘Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww did’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘As the jurists, are they united upon this, from their opinions that Abu Bakr was the first one to believe in Rasool-Allahsaww?’ The group said, ‘O Allahazwj, not, and we are reported that it was Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws’.

قَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ أَ وَ لَيْسَ قَدْ زَعَمْتُمْ أَنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَمْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ فِي وَقْتٍ مِنَ الْأَوْقَاتِ فَإِنْ كَانَ مَا رُوِّيتُمْ حَقّاً فَأَحْرَى أَنْ يَسْتَحِقَّ هَذَا الِاسْمَ قَالَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ أَجَلْ

Al-Haroury said, ‘Or isn’t is so that youasws are claiming that Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws did not associate with Allahazwj in any time from the timings. So, if what youasws are narrating is true, then rather heasws is more deserving of this name’. The group said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يَا حَرُورِيُّ إِنْ كَانَ سُمِّيَ صَاحِبُكَ صِدِّيقاً بِهَذِهِ الْخَصْلَةِ فَقَدْ اسْتَحَقَّهَا غَيْرُهُ قَبْلَهُ فَيَكُونُ الْمَخْصُوصَ بِهَذَا الِاسْمِ دُونَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِذْ كَانَ أَوَّلَ‏ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ جَاءَ بِالصِّدْقِ وَ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع هُوَ الْمُصَدِّقُ فَانْقَطَعَ الْحَرُورِيُّ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘O Haroury! If your master has been named as truthful due to this characteristic, so someone else is deserving of it before him, specialised with this name, besides Abu Bakr, when hesaww was the first believer, the onesaww who came with the truth, and hesaww is Rasool-Allahsaww, and Aliasws, heasws was the ratifier’. Al-Haroury was cut off.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَنَّهُ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْغَارِ فَذَلِكَ رَذِيلَةٌ لَا فَضِيلَةٌ مِنْ وُجُوهٍ الْأَوَّلُ أَنَّا لَا نَجِدُ لَهُ فِي الْآيَةِ مَدْحاً أَكْثَرَ مِنْ خُرُوجِهِ مَعَهُ وَ صُحْبَتِهِ لَهُ وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ الصُّحْبَةَ قَدْ يَكُونُ لِلْكَافِرِ مَعَ الْمُؤْمِنِ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ‏ قالَ لَهُ صاحِبُهُ وَ هُوَ يُحاوِرُهُ أَ كَفَرْتَ‏ وَ قَوْلُهُ‏ أَنْ تَقُومُوا لِلَّهِ مَثْنى‏ وَ فُرادى‏ ثُمَّ تَتَفَكَّرُوا ما بِصاحِبِكُمْ مِنْ جِنَّةٍ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And as for what you mentioned that he was a companion of Rasool-Allahsaww in the cave, so that is a vice, not a virtue, from (a few) aspects. The first is that we cannot find for him any praise in the Verse any more than his going out with himsaww and accompanying himsaww, and Allahazwj has Informed in Hisazwj Book that the companionship had happened to be for the Kafir with the Momin where Heazwj Says: His companion said to him while agitating him, ‘Are you committing Kufr? [18:37], and Said: you will be standing for Allah in pairs and individually, then you shall be pondering. Your companion is not insane. [34:46].

وَ لَا مَدْحَ لَهُ فِي صُحْبَتِهِ إِذْ لَمْ يَدْفَعْ عَنْهُ ضَيْماً وَ لَمْ يُحَارِبْ عَنْهُ عَدُوّاً

And there is no praise for him in his accompanying himsaww when he did not repel any grievance from himsaww and did not battle any enemy from himsaww.

الثَّانِي قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ لا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنا وَ ذَلِكَ يَدُلُّ عَلَى قَلَقِهِ وَ ضَرَعِهِ وَ قِلَّةِ صَبْرِهِ وَ خَوْفِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ عَدَمِ وُثُوقِهِ بِمَا وَعَدَهُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ مِنَ السَّلَامَةِ وَ الظَفَرِ وَ لَمْ يَرْضَ بِمُسَاوَاتِهِ لِلنَّبِيِّ ص حَتَّى نَهَاهُ عَنْ حَالِهِ

The second is the Word of the Exalted: ‘Do not grieve, surely Allah is with us!’ [9:40], and that evidence upon (the state of his) heart and his chest, and scarcity of his patience, and his fear upon himself, and his lack of confidence with what Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww had Promised of the safety and the success, and he was not pleased with being on equal footing with the Prophetsaww until hesaww forbade him from his state.

ثُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ حُزْنِهِ هَلْ كَانَ رِضاً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى أَوْ سَخَطاً لَهُ فَإِنْ قُلْتَ إِنَّهُ رِضاً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى خُصِمْتَ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص لَا يَنْهَى عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ لِلَّهِ فِيهِ رِضًا وَ إِنْ قُلْتَ إِنَّهُ سَخَطٌ فَمَا فَضْلُ مَنْ نَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنْ سَخَطِ اللَّهِ

Then Iasws ask you about his grief, was that a Pleasure of Allahazwj the Exalted or Wrath to him? If you say it was Pleasure of Allahazwj the Exalted, you would be defeated because the Prophetsaww cannot forbid from a thing wherein is Pleasure of Allahazwj, and if you say that it was Wrath, then there is no merit for the one whom Rasool-Allahsaww had forbidden from Wrath of Allahazwj.

وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ أَصَابَ فِي حُزْنِهِ فَقَدْ أَخْطَأَ مَنْ نَهَاهُ وَ حَاشَا النَّبِيَّ ص أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَخْطَأَ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلَّا أَنَّ حُزْنَهُ كَانَ خَطَأً فَنَهَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَنْ خَطَائِهِ

And that is because if he was correct in his grieving, so the onesaww who forbade him would be in error, and Godazwj Forbid that the Prophetsaww would happen to have been mistaken. So, there does not remain except that his grieving was a mistake, so Rasool-Allahsaww forbade him from his mistake.

الثَّالِثُ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنا تَعْرِيفٌ لِجَاهِلٍ لَمْ يَعْرِفْ حَقِيقَةَ مَا يَهُمُّ فِيهِ‏ وَ لَوْ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ النَّبِيُّ ص فَسَادَ اعْتِقَادِهِ لَمْ يَحْسُنْ مِنْهُ الْقَوْلُ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنا وَ أَيْضاً فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى مَعَ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمْ حَيْثُ خَلَقَهُمْ وَ رَزَقَهُمْ وَ هُمْ فِي عِلْمِهِ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ ما يَكُونُ مِنْ نَجْوى‏ ثَلاثَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ رابِعُهُمْ وَ لا خَمْسَةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ سادِسُهُمْ‏

The third is the Word of the Exalted: surely Allah is with us!’ [9:40], acquainting the ignorance that he did not recognise the reality of what (predicament) they were in, and if (one thinks that) the Prophetsaww did not realise, then his belief is corruption that the word was not good from himsaww; and as well, Allahazwj the Exalted is (always) with the creatures, all of them, when Heazwj has Created them and Sustains them, and they are (all) in Hisazwj Knowledge, just as the Exalted Said: There does not happen to be a secret counsel of three, except He is their fourth one, nor of five except He is their sixth one, [58:7].

فَلَا فَضْلَ لِصَاحِبِكَ فِي هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَ الرَّابِعُ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَيَّدَهُ بِجُنُودٍ لَمْ تَرَوْها فِيمَنْ نَزَلَتْ قَالَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع فَهَلْ شَارَكَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فِي السَّكِينَةِ قَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ نَعَمْ

Thus, there is no merit for your master in this aspect. And the fourth is the Word of the Exalted: Then Allah Send down His Tranquillity upon him and Aided him with armies you did not see, [9:40], regarding whom was it Revealed?’ He said, ‘Rasool-Allahsaww’. Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘Did Abu Bakr participate with himsaww in the tranquillity?’ Al-Haroury said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع كَذَبْتَ لِأَنَّهُ لَوْ كَانَ شَرِيكاً فِيهَا لَقَالَ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِمَا فَلَمَّا قَالَ‏ عَلَيْهِ‏ دَلَّ عَلَى اخْتِصَاصِهَا بِالنَّبِيِّ ص لِمَا خَصَّهُ بِالتَّأْيِيدِ بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ لِأَنَّ التَّأْيِيدَ بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ لَا يَكُونُ لِغَيْرِ النَّبِيِّ ص بِالْإِجْمَاعِ

Abu Ja’farasws said to him: ‘You are lying! If he was a participant in it, the Exalted would have Said: “Upon them both”, so when Heazwj Said: “Upon him”, it points upon its particularisation with the Prophetsaww of what Heazwj had been Specialised with the assistance by the Angels, because the assistance by the Angels cannot happen to be for other than the Prophetsaww, by the consensus.

وَ لَوْ كَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِمَّنْ يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمُشَارَكَةَ هُنَا لَأَشْرَكَهُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا كَمَا أَشْرَكَ فِيهَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ حَيْثُ يَقُولُ‏ ثُمَّ وَلَّيْتُمْ مُدْبِرِينَ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلى‏ رَسُولِهِ وَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏ مِمَّنْ يَسْتَحِقُّ الْمُشَارَكَةَ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَصْبِرْ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص غَيْرُ تِسْعَةِ نَفَرٍ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ سِتَّةٍ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ أبو [أَبِي‏] دُجَانَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ وَ أَيْمَنَ ابْنِ أُمِّ أَيْمَنَ

And if Abu Bakr was from the ones deserving the participation over here, Allahazwj would have Participated him in it just as Heazwj had Participated the Momineen in it on the day of (battle of) Hunayn, where Heazwj Says: then you turned back retreating [9:25] Then Allah Sent down His Tranquillity upon His Rasool and upon the Momineen, [9:26], being from the ones deserving of the participation, because no one came to be with the Prophetsaww apart from nine persons – Aliasws, and six from the clan of Hashimas, and Abu Dajjana Al-Ansari, and Ayman son of Umm Ayman.

فَبَانَ بِهَذَا أَنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَوْ كَانَ مُؤْمِناً لَأَشْرَكَهُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي السَّكِينَةِ هُنَا كَمَا أَشْرَكَ فِيهَا الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ

So, this clarifies that Abu Bakr did not happen to be from the Momineen, and had he been a Momin, he would have been participated with the Prophetsaww in the tranquillity over here just as the Momineen were participated in it on the day of (battle of) Hunayn’.

فَقَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ قوما [قُومُوا] فَقَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع مَا أَنَا قُلْتُهُ وَ إِنَّمَا قَالَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ قَالَتِ الْجَمَاعَةُ خُصِمْتَ يَا حَرُورِيُّ

Al-Haroury said, ‘Arise, for heasws has exited (Abu Bakr) from the Eman’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Iasws am not saying it, and rather Allahazwj the Exalted Says it in the Decisive of Hisazwj book’. The group said, ‘You are defeated, O Haroury!’

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُكَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ بِالنَّاسِ فَإِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ تَحْتَ يَدِ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ بِأَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِإِجْمَاعِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ كَانَ أُسَامَةُ قَدْ عَسْكَرَ عَلَى أَمْيَالٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَيْفَ يَتَقَدَّرُ أَنْ يَأْمُرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَجُلًا قَدْ أَخْرَجَهُ تَحْتَ يَدِ أُسَامَةَ وَ جَعَلَ أُسَامَةَ أَمِيراً عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ لَمْ يَأْمُرِ النَّبِيُّ ص بِرَدِّ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشِ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And as for your words regarding the Salat with the people, so Abu Bakr had gone out under the hand of Usama Bin Zayd by the order of Rasool-Allahsaww, with the consensus of the community, and Asama has soldiers at miles from Al-Medina, so how is it possible that Rasool-Allahsaww would order a man who had already gone out under the hand of Usama, and Usama was made to be a commander over him, that he would pray Salat (leading) the people in Al-Medina, and the Prophetsaww had not ordered that army to return?

بَلْ كَانَ يَقُولُ- نَفِّذُوا جَيْشَ أُسَامَةَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهُ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ أَبَا بَكْرٍ لَمَّا تَقَدَّمَ بِالنَّاسِ وَ كَبَّرَ وَ سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص التَّكْبِيرَ خَرَجَ مُسْرِعاً يَتَهَادَى‏ بَيْنَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ هُوَ مُعَصَّبُ الرَّأْسِ وَ رِجْلَاهُ يَخُطَّانِ الْأَرْضَ مِنَ الضَّعْفِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ بِهِمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ نَحَّاهُ عَنِ الْمِحْرَابِ

But hesaww said: ‘Enforce the army of Usama! May Allahazwj Curse the one who stays behind from it’. Then you are saying that when Abu Bakr proceeded with the people, and he exclaimed Takbeer and Rasool-Allahsaww heard the Takbeer, hesaww came out quickly leaning between Aliasws and Al-Fazl Bin Al-Abbas, and hesaww had a bandage on hissaww head and hissaww legs were dragging on the ground out of weakness, before Abu Bakr had performed Ruku’u with them, until Rasool-Allahsaww came and forbade him from the prayer niche.

فَلَوْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ أَمَرَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِ مُسْرِعاً عَلَى ضَعْفِهِ ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يَتِمَّ لَهُ رُكُوعٌ وَ لَا سُجُودٌ فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ حُجَّةً لَهُ فَدَلَّ عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَمَرَهُ وَ الْحَدِيثُ الصَّحِيحُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي حَالِ مَرَضِهِ كَانَ إِذَا حَضَرَ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ أَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ فَيَقُولُ الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنْ قَدَرَ عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ بِنَفْسِهِ تَحَامَلَ وَ خَرَجَ وَ إِلَّا أَمَرَ عَلِيّاً ع يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ

If the Prophetsaww had instructed him with (leading) the Salat, hesaww would not have come out to him quickly upon that weakness of hissaww, when neither a Ruku’u was completed for him nor a Sajdah, so that would happen to be an argument for him. Thus, that points upon that hesaww had not instructed him, and the correct Hadeeth is that Rasool-Allahazwj, during that state of hissaww illness was such that when the time of Salat presented, Bilal came to himsaww and said, ‘The Salat, O Rasool-Allahsaww!’ So, if hesaww was able upon the Salat by himselfsaww, was carried and came out, or else hesaww has instructed Aliasws to pray Salat (leading) the people’.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع الرَّابِعَةُ زَعَمْتَ أَنَّهُ ضَجِيعُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ أَيْنَ قَبْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ فِي بَيْتِهِ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَ وَ لَيْسَ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى‏ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لا تَدْخُلُوا بُيُوتَ النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لَكُمْ‏ فَهَلِ اسْتَأْذَنَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ قَالَ الْحَرُورِيُّ نَعَمْ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘The fourth, you claim that his (Abu Bakr’s) final burial place is in hissaww grave’. He said, ‘Yes’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And where is the grave of Rasool-Allahsaww?’ Al-Haroury said, ‘In hissaww house’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘And isn’t Allahazwj the Exalted Saying: O you those who believe! Do not enter the houses of the Prophet unless there is permission for you [33:53]? So was there permission for him regarding that?’ Al-Haroury said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع كَذَبْتَ لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص سَدَّ بَابَهُ عَنِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ بَابَ صَاحِبِهِ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اتْرُكْ لِي كُوَّةً أَنْظُرْكَ مِنْهَا قَالَ لَهُ وَ لَا مِثْلَ قُلَامَةِ ظُفُرٍ فَأَخْرَجَهُمَا وَ سَدَّ أَبْوَابَهُمَا فَأَقِمِ الْبَيِّنَةَ عَلَى أَنَّهُ أَذِنَ لَهُمَا فِي ذَلِكَ بِأَيِّ وَحْيٍ وَ بِأَيِّ نَصٍّ

Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘You are lying, because Rasool-Allahsaww closed his (Abu Bakr’s) door from the Masjid, and the door of his companion Umar. Umar said, ‘O Rasool-Allahsaww! Can you leave a small hole for me to be able to look at yousaww from it?’ Hesaww said to him: ‘And not even like a trimming of a nail’. Hesaww expelled them both and closed their doors. So, establish the proof upon that there was permission for both of them regarding that, by which Revelation and by which text?’

قَالَ بِمَا لَا يُدْفَعُ بِمِيرَاثِ ابْنَتَيْهِمَا قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَصَبْتَ أَصَبْتَ يَا حَرُورِيُّ اسْتَحَقَّا بِذَلِكَ تُسْعاً مِنْ ثُمْنٍ وَ هُوَ جُزْءٌ مِنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءاً لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَاتَ عَنِ ابْنَتِهِ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ عَنْ تِسْعِ نِسْوَةٍ وَ أَنْتُمْ رُوِّيتُمْ أَنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ لَا تُورَثُ فَانْقَطَعَ الْحَرُورِيُّ.

He said, ‘With what cannot be defended, by an inheritance of their daughters (Ayesha and Hafsa)’. Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘You are correct! You are correct, O Haroury. They are both rightful with that, ninth from an eight, and it is one part from seventy-two parts, because Rasool-Allahsaww passed away from hissaww daughter (Syeda) Fatimaasws and from nine wives, and you are reporting that the Prophetsas do not leave any inheritance’. Al-Haroury was cut off’’.⁶⁴⁹
