CHAPTER 1 – REGARDING THE IMAMS-asws, THEY-asws ARE THE MINES OF KNOWLEDGE, AND THE TREE OF PROPHET-HOOD, AND THE KEYS OF WISDOM, AND THE PLACE OF MESSAGE, AND THE INTERCHANGE OF ANGELS
1- قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمُؤْمِنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاذٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَصْرَةِ عَنِ الضَّحَّاكِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ.
He said, ‘It is narrated to us by Ibn Hashim, from Ibn Al Mugheira, from Abdul Momin Al Ansari, from Humeyd Bin Musa, from the people of Al Basra, from Al Zahak Bin Muzahim Al Khurasani who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘We-asws People-asws of the Household, and the People-asws of the Household of Mercy, and the tree of Prophet-hood, and the place of the Message, and the interchange of the Angels, and the mine of the Knowledge’’.[1]
2- حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنِ الْجَارُودِ وَ هُوَ أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مَا تَنْقِمُ النَّاسُ مِنَّا نَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ.
It is narrated to me by Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from hammad Bin Isa, from Rabie, from Al Jaroud, and he is Abu Al Munzir who said,
‘I entered to see Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws with my father. Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘Do not take revenge of the people from us-asws! We-asws, by Allah-azwj, are the tree of Prophet-hood, and the House of Mercy, and place of the Message, and the mine of the Knowledge, and the interchange of Angels-as’’.[2]
3- حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ قَالا أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْأَرْمَنِيُّ وَ هُوَ مُوسَى بْنُ زَنْجَوَيْهِ عَنْ عَائِذِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: نَحْنُ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَفَاتِيحُ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ وَدِيعَةُ اللَّهِ فِي عِبَادِهِ وَ نَحْنُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ نَحْنُ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ
It is narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Is’haq and Muhammad Bin Hassan both said, ‘We were informed by Abu Imran Al Armany, and he is Musa Bin Zanjawiya, from Aiz Bin Ismail, from the one who narrated it, from Khaysama,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘We-asws are the tree of Prophet-hood, and the house of Mercy, and the keys of wisdom, and the mine of knowledge, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the place of secrets of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the depository of Allah-azwj among His-azwj creatures, and we-asws are the greatest Sanctity of Allah-azwj, and we-asws the Covenant of Allah-azwj.
فَمَنْ وَفَى بِذِمَّتِنَا فَقَدْ وَفَى بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ وَفَى بِعَهْدِنَا فَقَدْ وَفَى بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ خَفَرَهُمَا فَقَدْ خَفَرَ ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَ عَهْدَهُ.
So the one who is loyal with our-asws pact so he has been loyal with the Pact of Allah-azwj, and one who is loyal with our-asws covenant so he has been loyal with the Covenant of Allah-azwj, and the one who breaks these, so he has broken a Pact of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Covenant’’.[3]
4 حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ رَفَعَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: لَمَّا اخْتَلَفَ النَّاسُ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكُمْ هُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Hakam Bin Miskeen, from one of the companions of Al Amsh, from Al Amsh,
‘Raising the Hadeeth to Abu Zarr-ra, he (the narrator) said, ‘When the people differed after Rasool-Allah-saww, Abu Zarr-ra said, ‘The People-asws of the household of your Prophet-saww, they-asws are the People-asws of the house of the Prophet-hood, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the house of Mercy, and the mine of the Knowledge’’[4]
5- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى بْنِ تَمِيمٍ يَذْكُرُهُ عَنِ الْفُضَيْلِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يَا فُضَيْلُ مَا يَنْقِمُ النَّاسُ مِنَّا فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَشَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far, from Abdul A’la Bin Tameem mentioning it from Al Fuzeyl who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘O Fuzeyl! What are the people avoiding from us-asws? By Allah-azwj! We-asws are the tree of Prophet-hood, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the house of mercy, and the mine of the Knowledge’’.[5]
6- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخَشَّابِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُنَا عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَا خَيْثَمَةُ نَحْنُ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَفَاتِيحُ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّ اللَّهِ
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Musa Al Khashab who said, ‘It is narrated to us by our companions, from Khaysama Al Jufy who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘O Khaysama! We-asws are the tree of Prophet-hood, and the house of Mercy, and the keys of Wisdom, and the mine of Knowledge, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the place of Secrets of Allah-azwj.
وَ نَحْنُ وَدِيعَةُ اللَّهِ فِي عِبَادِهِ وَ نَحْنُ حَرَمُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ نَحْنُ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ عَهْدُ اللَّهِ
And we-asws are the depository of Allah-azwj among His-azwj servants, and we-asws are the greatest Sanctuary of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the Guarantee of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the Pact of Allah-azwj.
فَمَنْ وَفَا بِذِمَّتِنَا فَقَدْ وَفَا بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ وَفَا بِعَهْدِنَا فَقَدْ وَفَا بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ خَفَرَهَا فَقَدْ خَفَرَ ذِمَّةَ اللَّهِ وَ عَهْدَهُ.
The one who is loyal with our-asws guarantee, so he has been loyal with the Guarantee of Allah-azwj, and one who is loyal with our-asws pact, so he has been loyal with the Pact of Allah-azwj, and one who breaks it, so he has broken the Guarantee of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Pact’’.[6]
7- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: إِنَّا أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّأْفَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ.
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Ismail Bin Abu Ziyad Al Sakuny,
‘From Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from Ali-asws having said: ‘We-asws, People-asws of the Household, are the tree of Prophet-hood, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the house of kindness, and the mine of Knowledge’’.[7]
8- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْعَلَوِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْعَمْرَكِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّا أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ismail Al Alawy who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Al Hassan Bin Amro Al Amraky,
‘From Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘We-asws, People-asws of the Household are the tree of Prophet-hood, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the house of mercy, and the mine of Knowledge’’.[8]
9- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْجَارُودِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْجَارُودِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ: مَا يَنْقِمُ النَّاسُ مِنَّا فَنَحْنُ وَ اللَّهِ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ بَيْتُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ismail Bin Imran, from Hammad, from Rabie Bin Abdullah Bin Al Jaroud, from his grandfather Al Jaroud who said,
‘I entered along with my father to see Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, he-asws said: ‘The people will have no remorse from us-asws, for we-asws, by Allah-azwj, are the tree of Prophet-hood, and the house of mercy, and place of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the mine of knowledge’’.[9]

CHAPTER 2 – REGARDING THE IMAMS-asws, AND THAT THEIR-asws EXAMPLE IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE TREE WHICH ALLAH-azwj THE EXALTED MENTIONED REGARDING THEM AND REGARDING THEIR-asws KNOWLEDGE
1- حَدَّثَنَا الْخَشَّابُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَها كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّها
It is narrated to us by Al Khashab, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ibn Uzafir, from Al Sumaly,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: like a good tree, its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24] Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? [14:25].
فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا أَصْلُهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ فَرْعُهَا وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ أَغْصَانُهَا وَ عِلْمُنَا ثَمَرُهَا وَ شِيعَتُنَا وَرَقُهَا يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ هَلْ تَرَى فِيهَا فَضْلًا
He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am its roots, and Ali-asws its trunk, and the Imams-asws its branches, and our-asws knowledge is its fruit, and our-asws Shias are its leave. O Abu Hamza! Do you see any extra in it?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَرَى فِيهَا فَضْلًا قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمَوْلُودَ يُولَدُ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَتُورِقُ وَرَقَةً مِنْهَا وَ يَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ وَرَقَةٌ مِنْهَا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I do not see any extra in it’. He-asws said: ‘O Abu Hamza! By Allah-azwj! The new-born from our-asws Shias is born, so a leaf sprouts from it, and he dies, so a leaf falls off from it’’.[10]
2- حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ سَلَّامِ بْنِ الْمُسْتَنِيرِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَها كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّها قَالَ الشَّجَرَةُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نَسَبُهُ ثَابِتٌ فِي بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ فَرْعُ الشَّجَرَةِ عَلِيٌّ وَ عُنْصُرُ الشَّجَرَةِ فَاطِمَةُ وَ أَغْصَانُهَا الْأَئِمَّةُ وَ وَرَقُهَا الشِّيعَةُ وَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ مِنْهَا وَرَقَةٌ وَ إِنَّ الْمَوْلُودَ لَيُولَدُ فَتُورِقُ وَرَقَةً
It is narrated to us by Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Ahowl, from Sallam Bin Al Mustaneer who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Word of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: like a good tree, its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24] Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? [14:25]. He-asws said: ‘The tree is Rasool-Allah-saww, his-saww lineage stable in the Clan of Hashim-as, and the trunk of the tree is Ali-asws, and a root of the tree is (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and its branches are Imams-asws, and its leaves are the Shias; and the (Shia) man dies, so a leaf falls off from it, and the (Shia) new-born is born, so a leaf sprouts’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى تُؤْتِي أُكُلَها كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّها قَالَ هُوَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْإِمَامِ مِنَ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ إِلَى شِيعَتِهِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Words of the Exalted: Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? [14:25]’. He-asws said: ‘It is what comes out from the Imam-asws, from the Permissible(s) and the Prohibition during every year to his-asws Shias’’.[11]
3- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُؤْمِنِ الطَّاقِ عَنْ سَلَّامِ بْنِ الْمُسْتَنِيرِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَها كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّها
It is narrated to us by Ahmad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Momin Al Taq, from Sallam Bin Al Mustaneer who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: like a good tree, its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24] Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? [14:25].
قَالَ الشَّجَرَةُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نَسَبُهُ ثَابِتٌ فِي بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَ عُنْصُرُ الشَّجَرَةِ فَاطِمَةُ وَ فَرْعُ الشَّجَرَةِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَغْصَانُ الشَّجَرَةِ وَ ثَمَرُهَا الْأَئِمَّةُ وَ وَرَقُ الشَّجَرَةِ الشِّيعَةُ وَ إِنَّ الْمَوْلُودَ لَيُولَدُ فَتُورِقُ وَرَقَةً وَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ لَيَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ وَرَقَةٌ
He-asws said: ‘The tree is Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww installed it firmly in the Clan of Hashim-as, and the root of the tree is (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and the trunk of the tree is Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and branches of the tree and its fruits are the Imams-asws, and leaves of the tree are the Shias, and that the new-born is born, so a leaf sprouts, and the man from the Shias dies, so a leaf falls off’.
قَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَها كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّها
He (the narrator) said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? [14:25]?’
قَالَ مَا يُفْتِي الْأَئِمَّةُ شِيعَتَهُمْ فِي كُلِّ حَجٍّ وَ عُمْرَةٍ مِنَ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ.
He-asws said: ‘What Fatwas the Imams-asws issue to their-asws Shias during every Hajj and Umrah, from the Permissible(s) and the Prohibitions’’.[12]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بَيَّاعِ السَّابُرِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى شَجَرَةٍ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Sayf, from his father Sayf, from Umar Bin Yazeed Baya’a Al Sabiry who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: ‘A tree, its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24].
قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ اللَّهِ جَذْرُهَا وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَرْعُهَا وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهَا أَغْصَانُهَا وَ عِلْمُ الْأَئِمَّةِ ثَمَرُهَا وَ شِيعَتُهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَرَقُهَا هَلْ تَرَى فِيهَا فَضْلًا يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ
He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj! (I-saww) am its root, and Amir Al Momineen-asws is its root, and the Imams-asws from his-asws offspring are its branches, and knowledge of the Imams is its fruit, and their-asws Shias, the Momineen, are its leaves. Do you see any extra in it, O Abu Ja’far?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا وَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ يُولَدُ فَيُورِقُ وَرَقَةً وَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ وَرَقَتُهُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj!’ He-asws said: ‘The Momin is born, so a leaf sprouts, and the Momin dies, so a leaf falls off’’.[13]

RARE FROM THE CHAPTER
1- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ هُمُ الْأَصْلُ الثَّابِتُ وَ الْفَرْعُ الْوَلَايَةُ لِمَنْ دَخَلَ فِيهَا.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Muhammad Al Halby,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: a good word as being like a good tree, its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24]. He-asws said: ‘The Prophet-saww and the Imams-asws, they-asws are the stable roots, and the branches are the Wilayah for the ones who enters into it’’.[14]
2- حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ أَبِي رِوَايَتَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ مَوْلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى سِدْرَةِ الْمُنْتَهى قَالَ أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَذْرُهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ ع ذِرْوُهَا وَ فَاطِمَةُ فَرْعُهَا وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ أَغْصَانُهَا وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ أَوْرَاقُهَا
It is narrated to us by Musa Bin Ja’far who said, ‘I found in the handwriting of my father reporting from Muhammad Bin Isa Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, a slave of Abu Abdullah-asws, from Suleyman who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: At the Lote Tree (Sidrat Al-Muntaha) [53:14]. He-asws said: ‘its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24]. Rasool-Allah-saww is its root, and Ali-asws is its peak, and the Imams-asws are its branches, and their-asws Shias are its leaves’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا مَعْنَى الْمُنْتَهَى قَالَ إِلَيْهَا وَ اللَّهِ انْتَهَى الدِّينُ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ فَلَيْسَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ وَ لَيْسَ لَنَا شِيعَةً.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! So, what is the meaning of ‘Al-Muntaha’?’ He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The Religion ends to it. One who does not happen to be from the tree, so he isn’t a Momin, and he isn’t a Shia of ours’’.[15]
3- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَصْلُها ثابِتٌ وَ فَرْعُها فِي السَّماءِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَذْرُهَا وَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع ذِرْوُهَا وَ فَاطِمَةُ ع فَرْعُهَا وَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِهَا أَغْصَانُهَا وَ عِلْمُ الْأَئِمَّةِ ثَمَرُهَا وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ وَرَقُهَا فَهَلْ تَرَى فِيهِمْ فَضْلًا
It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Amro Bin Usman Al Khazaz, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hamad, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: its roots are stable and its branches are in the sky [14:24]. He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww is its roots, and Amir Al-Momineen-asws its peak, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws its main branch (trunk), and the Imams-asws from her-asws offspring are its branches, and knowledge of the Imams-asws are its fruits, and their-asws Shias are its leaves. So, do you see any extra among them?’
فَقُلْتُ لَا فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيَمُوتُ فَتَسْقُطُ وَرَقَةٌ مِنْ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيُولَدُ فَتُورَقُ وَرَقَةٌ فِيهَا فَقُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ تُؤْتِي أُكُلَها كُلَّ حِينٍ بِإِذْنِ رَبِّها فَقَالَ مَا يَخْرُجُ إِلَى النَّاسِ مِنْ عِلْمِ الْإِمَامِ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ.
I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The Momin dies, so a leaf falls from that tree, and he is born, so a leaf sprouts in it’. I said, ‘Yielding its fruit in every season by the permission of its Lord? [14:25]’. He-asws said: ‘What comes out to the people from knowledge of the Imam-asws during every season he-asws is asked about’’.[16]

It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al Barqy, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said,
‘O Ibn AbuYafour! Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted is One, Alone with the Oneness, Individual with His-azwj Command. So, He-azwj Created creatures and particularised them-asws for that Command.

It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Muhammad, from Ibn Uzina, from Bureyd Al Ijaly who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: And like that, We Made you (Imams) as an intermediary community in order for you (Imams) to become witnesses upon the people, and the Rasool to become a witness upon you. [2:143].

فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ قَالُوا عَظِيماً إِنَّمَا عَنَى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ الَّذِي يُؤْتَى مِنْهُ وَ نَحْنُ وَجْهُهُ الَّذِي يُؤْتَى مِنْهُ.

‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Words of Allah-azwj: All things will perish except for His Face [28:88]. He-asws said: ‘We-asws, by Allah-azwj, are the Face which He-azwj Said, and he will never perish on the Day of Qiyamah, one who comes to Allah-azwj with what He-azwj had Commanded him with, from being obedient to us-asws and our-asws Wilayah. That is the Face which Allah-azwj Said: All things will perish except for His Face [28:88]. There isn’t any one-asws from us-asws passing away except and there is a replacement from Him-azwj, up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.[34]

It is narrated to us by Al Hajal, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ibn Umeyr, from Mansour, from a companions of Abu Hamza, from Abu Hamza who said,
‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Make me to be sacrificed for you-asws! Inform me about Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: All things will perish except for His Face [28:88].
قَالَ يَا فُلَانُ فَيَهْلِكُ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَ يَبْقَى الْوَجْهُ اللَّهُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يُوصَفَ وَ لَكِنَّ مَعْنَاهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا دِينَهُ نَحْنُ الْوَجْهُ الَّذِي يُؤْتَى مِنْهُ لَمْ نَزَلْ فِي عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مَا دَامَ لِلَّهِ فِيهِمْ رَوِيَّةٌ
He-asws said: ‘O so and so! All things will perish and the Face would remain, Allah-azwj is more Magnificent from being described, but its meaning is all things will perish except His-azwj Religion. We-asws are the Face which He-azwj can be access to from it. We-asws will not cease to be among servants of Allah-azwj for as long as for Allah-azwj there is a ‘Rawiya’ for them’.
قُلْتُ وَ مَا الرَّوِيَّةُ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ حَاجَةٌ فَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ فِيهِمْ حَاجَةٌ رَفَعَنَا إِلَيْهِ فَيَصْنَعُ بِنَا مَا أَحَبَ.
I said, ‘What is the ‘Rawiya’, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Need. When there does not happen to be any need for Him-azwj regarding them, He-azwj will Raise us to Him-azwj and Do with us-asws what He-azwj Loves’’.[35]

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘We-asws are the double which Allah-azwj Gave His-azwj Prophet-saww, and we-asws are the Face of Allah-azwj in the earth. We-asws turn around between your midst. He recognises us-asws, one who recognises us-asws, and he is ignorant of us-asws one who is ignorant of us-asws. So, the one who is ignorant of us-asws, in front of him is the certainty’’(of their destruction).[36]

It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Al Haysam, from his father, from Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Hamza-ra! Do you see that the ones Chosen for our-asws matter (Wilayah), from the Angels were the ones of Proximity, and from the Prophets-as were the Messengers-as, and from the Momineen were the Examined ones?’’[46]
7- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ مَوْلَى حَرْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْحَمَّامِيِّ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنِ الْأَزْهَرِ الْبِطِّيخِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَرَضَ وَلَايَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَبِلَهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ أَبَاهَا مَلَكٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ فُطْرُسُ فَكَسَرَ اللَّهُ جَنَاحَهُ فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع بَعَثَ اللَّهُ جَبْرَئِيلَ فِي سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص يُهَنِّئُهُمْ بِوِلَادَتِهِ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, a slave of Harb, from Abu Ja’far Al Hammamy Al Kufi, from Al Azhar Al Biteekhy,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Presented the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. The Angels accepted it and an Angel called Futrus refused it, so Allah-azwj Broke his wings. When Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws was born, Allah-azwj Sent Jibraeel-as among seventy thousand Angels to Muhammad-saww to congratulate him-saww of his-asws birth.
فَمَرَّ بِفُطْرُسَ فَقَالَ لَهُ فُطْرُسُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ قَالَ بَعَثَنِيَ اللَّهُ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص أُهَنِّئُهُمْ بِمَوْلُودٍ وُلِدَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ
(On his way) he-as passed by Futrus. Futrus said to him-as, ‘O Jibraeel-as! Where are you-as going?’ He-as said: ‘Allah-azwj has Sent me-as to Muhammad-saww to congratulate them (him-saww) of the birth of a son-asws during this night’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ فُطْرُسُ احْمِلْنِي مَعَكَ وَ سَلْ مُحَمَّداً يَدْعُو لِي فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ارْكَبْ جَنَاحِي فَرَكِبَ جَنَاحَهُ فَأَتَى مُحَمَّداً فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَ هَنَّأَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فُطْرُسَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ أُخُوَّةٌ وَ سَأَلَنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ جَنَاحَهُ
Futrus said to him-as, ‘Carry me with you-as and ask Muhammad-saww to supplicate for me’. Jibraeel-as said to him: ‘Ride on my wing’. He rode his-as wing and came to Muhammad-saww. He-as entered to see him-saww and congratulated him-saww and said to him-saww: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Futrus, there is brotherhood between me-as and him, and he asked me-as to ask you-saww to supplicate to Allah-azwj for him, for Him-azwj to return his wings to him’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِفُطْرُسَ أَ تَفْعَلُ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَلَايَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَبِلَهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص شَأْنَكَ بِالْمَهْدِ فَتَمَسَّحْ بِهِ وَ تَمَرَّغْ فِيهِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said to Futrus: ‘Will you do it?’ He said, ‘Yes’. Rasool-Allah-saww presented to him the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and he accepted it. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Your concern is with the cradle (of Al-Husayn-asws). Wipe with it and wallow in it’.
قَالَ فَمَضَى فُطْرُسُ إِلَى مَهْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَدْعُو لَهُ
He-asws said: ‘Futrus went to the cradle of Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws and Rasool-Allah-saww supplicated for him’.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى رِيشِهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَطْلُعُ وَ يَجْرِي مِنْهُ الدَّمُ وَ يَطُولُ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِجَنَاحِهِ الْآخَرِ وَ عُرِجَ مَعَ جَبْرَئِيلَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ صَارَ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهِ.
He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww looked at his feather and it emerged and the blood flowed from it, and it prolonged until it adhered to his other wing, and he ascended along with Jibraeel-as to the sky and came to his place’’.[47]
8- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنِ الْخَيْبَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْنَا يَقُولُ مَا حَاوَرَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي دُنُوِّهَا مِنْهُ إِلَّا بِالَّذِي أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَيَصِفُونَ مَا تَصِفُونَ وَ يَطْلُبُونَ مَا تَطْلُبُونَ وَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ مَلَائِكَةً يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ قَوْلَنَا فِي آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Umar, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Al Khaybari, from Ibn Zabyan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘We heard him-asws saying: ‘The Angels of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted did not attain the Proximity from Him-azwj except by that which you (Shias) are upon, and that the Angels are describing what you are describing, and are seeking what you are seeking, and that from the Angels there are Angels saying, ‘Our word regarding the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww is that which you (Shias) are made to be upon’’.[48]
9- حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ: سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَكْثَرُ أَوْ بَنُو آدَمَ
It is narrated to us by Ali Bin Muhammad, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood, from Hammad Bin Isa who said,
‘A man asked Abu Abdullah-asws saying, ‘Are the Angels more numerous or the children of Adam-as?’
فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَمَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ عَدَدِ التُّرَابِ وَ مَا فِي السَّمَاءِ مَوْضِعُ قَدَمٍ إِلَّا وَ فِيهِ مَلَكٌ يُقَدِّسُ لَهُ وَ يُسَبِّحُ
He-asws said: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-asws soul! The Angels of Allah-azwj in the skies are more numerous than the number of (grains of) dust, and there is no place for a foot in the sky except and in it is an Angel extolling Holiness to Him-azwj, and Glorifying.
وَ لَا فِي الْأَرْضِ شَجَرَةٌ وَ لَا مِثْلُ غَرْزَةٍ إِلَّا وَ فِيهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهَا يَأْتِي اللَّهَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ بِعَمَلِهَا وَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِهَا وَ مَا مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا وَ يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِوَلَايَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لِمُحَبِّينَا وَ يَلْعَنُ أَعْدَاءَنَا وَ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ إِرْسَالًا.
And in the earth, there is neither any tree, nor like a stick, except and in it is an Angel allocated with it, coming to Allah-azwj every day with its knowledge, and Allah-azwj is more Knowing with it, and there is no one from them except and he draws nearer to Allah-azwj during every day by our-asws Wilayah, People-asws of the Household, and he seeks Forgiveness for ones who love us-asws, and curses our-asws enemies, and asks Allah-azwj to Send upon them the Punishments with a (constant) Sending’’.[49]

1 إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَيْفٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّامِتِ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ سَخَّرَ لَكُمْ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً مِنْهُ قَالَ أَجْبَرَهُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ.
Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Al Husayn Bin Sayf, from his father, from Abu Al Samit,
‘Regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And He Subdued for you whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth altogether from it. [45:13]. ‘Compelled them to be in their-asws (Imams-asws) obedience’’.[50] (Not a Hadeeth)
2- أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّيَّارِيُ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْفَارِسِيِّ وَ غَيْرِهِ رَفَعُوهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا مِنَ الْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ خَلْفَ الْعَرْشِ لَوْ قُسِمَ نُورُ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ لَكَفَاهُمْ
Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Sayyari, from Ubeydullah Bin Abu Abdullah Al Farsi and others raising it to,
Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Al-Karoubeen are a group of our-asws Shias from the first creation. Allah-azwj Made them to be behind the Throne. If the Noor (light) of one of them were to be apportion upon the inhabitants of the earth, it would be sufficient for them’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ مُوسَى ع لَمَّا أَنْ سَأَلَ رَبَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ أَمَرَ وَاحِداً مِنَ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ فَتَجَلَّى لِلْجَبَلِ فَجَعَلَهُ دَكّاً.
Then he-asws said: ‘When Musa-as asked his-as Lord-azwj what he-as asked, He-azwj Commanded one of the Karoubeen to flash to the mountain, and made it to be rubble’’.[51]
7 باب ما خص الله به الأئمة من آل محمد ع من ولاية أولي العزم لهم في الميثاق و غيره
CHAPTER 7 – WHAT ALLAH-azwj HAS SPECIALISED THE IMAMS-asws FROM PROGENY-asws OF MUHAMMAD-saww WITH, FROM THE WILAYAH OF THE DETERMINED ONES (UL Al-AZAM PROPHETS-as FOR THEM-asws REGARDING THE COVENANT AND OTHERS
1- حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ لَقَدْ عَهِدْنا إِلى آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَ لَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً قَالَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَتُرِكَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ عَزْمٌ فِيهِمْ أَنَّهُمْ هَكَذَا
It is narrated to me by Abu Ja’far Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And We had Covenanted to Adam before, but he forgot, and We did not find for him having determination [20:115]. He-asws said: ‘Covenanted to him-as regarding Muhammad-saww and the Imams-asws from after him-saww, but he-as neglected and there did not happen to be any determination for him-as that they-asws are like that.
وَ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ أُولُو الْعَزْمِ أُوْلِي الْعَزْمِ لِأَنَّهُ عَهِدَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِي مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ الْمَهْدِيِّ وَ سِيرَتِهِ فَأَجْمَعَ عَزْمُهُمْ أَنْ ذَلِكَ كَذَلِكَ وَ الْإِقْرَارَ بِهِ.
And rather the determined ones (Ul Al-Azam) have been named as the determines one because He-azwj Covenanted to them-as regarding Muhammad-saww and the successors-asws from after him-saww, and the Mahdi-asws and his-asws ways, and He-azwj United their-as determination that, that is like that, and the acknowledgment with it’’.[52]
2- حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْعِجْلِيِّ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى حَيْثُ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ خَلَقَ مَاءً عَذْباً وَ مَاءً مَالِحاً أُجَاجاً فَامْتَزَجَ الْمَاءَانِ فَأَخَذَ طِيناً مِنْ أَدِيمِ الْأَرْضِ فَعَرَكَهُ عَرْكاً شَدِيداً
It is narrated to me by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Dawood Al Ijaly, from Zurara, from Humran,
From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Created what exists, (also in that) Created water which was sweet and water which was salty and bitter. He-azwj Mixed the two streams of water and Took the clay from the Earth. He-azwj then Mixed it with a severe mixing.
فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ وَ هُمْ كَالذَّرِّ يَدِبُّونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ بِسَلَامٍ وَ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ الشِّمَالِ يَدِبُّونَ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ لَا أُبَالِي
He-azwj Said to the companions of the right hand, and they were in that like particles: “Walk to the Paradise in safety”. And Said to the companions of the left hand: “Walk to the Fire and I-azwj don’t Care”.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قالُوا بَلى شَهِدْنا أَنْ تَقُولُوا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّا كُنَّا عَنْ هذا غافِلِينَ
Then Said: “Am I not your Lord?” They said, ‘Yes, we testify’. (He Said): “Lest you should be saying on the Day of Judgment, ‘We were oblivious of this’” [7:172].
قَالَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ الْمِيثَاقَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ فَقَالَ أَ لَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ أَنَّ هَذَا مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَّ هَذَا عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالُوا بَلَى
He-asws said: ‘Then the Covenant was taken from the Prophets-as. He-azwj Said: “Am I not your Lord?”?’ Then Said: “And this here is Muhammad-saww the Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and this here is Ali-asws Emir of the Momineen”. They-as said: ‘Yes.’
فَثَبَتَتْ لَهُمُ النُّبُوَّةُ وَ أَخَذَ الْمِيثَاقَ عَلَى أُولِي الْعَزْمِ أَنِّي رَبَّكُمْ وَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَوْصِيَاؤُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وُلَاةُ أَمْرِي وَ خُزَّانُ عِلْمِي وَ أَنَّ الْمَهْدِيَّ أَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِي وَ أُظْهِرُ بِهِ دَوْلَتِي وَ أَنْتَقِمُ بِهِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي وَ أُعْبَدُ بِهِ طَوْعاً وَ كَرْهاً قَالُوا أَقْرَرْنَا وَ شَهِدْنَا يَا رَبِّ
He-azwj Affirmed the Prophet-hood for them-as, and Took the Covenant on The Determined Ones (Ul Ul-Azam): “I-azwj am your-saww Lord-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is My-azwj Rasool-saww, and Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen and the successors-asws after him-asws are the Masters of My-azwj Command (Wali Al-Amr), and the Reservoirs of My-azwj Knowledge, and by the Mahdi-asws of My-azwj religion will be victorious, and My-azwj government will be manifested, and revenge will be taken from My-azwj enemies, and I-azwj will be worshipped willingly or unwillingly”. They-as said: ‘We testify and accept, O Lord-azwj.’
وَ لَمْ يَجْحَدْ آدَمُ وَ لَمْ يُقِرَّ فَثَبَتَتِ الْعَزِيمَةُ لِهَؤُلَاءِ الْخَمْسَةِ فِي الْمَهْدِيِّ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لآِدَمَ عَزْمٌ عَلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ لَقَدْ عَهِدْنا إِلى آدَمَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَنَسِيَ وَ لَمْ نَجِدْ لَهُ عَزْماً قَالَ إِنَّمَا يَعْنِي فَتَرَكَ
Adam-as neither reject it nor accept it or showed any determination for those five-asws regarding the Mahdi-asws, and there was no determination on accepting him-asws, and this is in the Words of the Mighty and Majestic: And We had Covenanted to Adam before, but he forgot, and We did not find for him having determination [20:115]. He-asws said: ‘It means that he-as neglected’.
ثُمَّ أَمَرَ نَاراً فَتَأَجَّجَتْ فَقَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ الشِّمَالِ ادْخُلُوهَا فَهَابُوهَا وَ قَالَ لِأَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ ادْخُلُوهَا فَدَخَلُوهَا فَكَانَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَرْداً وَ سَلَاماً فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ الشِّمَالِ يَا رَبِّ أَقِلْنَا فَقَالَ قَدْ أَقَلْتُكُمُ اذْهَبُوا فَادْخُلُوهَا فَهَابُوهَا فَثَمَّ ثَبَتَتِ الطَّاعَةُ وَ الْمَعْصِيَةُ وَ الْوَلَايَةُ.
Then He-azwj Ordered the Fire to be inflamed. He-azwj Said to the companions of the left hand: “Enter it”. They did not do it. And Said to the companions of the right hand: “Enter it”. They entered it, and it was for them cool and safe. The companions of the left hand said, ‘O Lord-azwj, reduce it for us.’ He-azwj Said: “I-azwj have Reduced it for you, go, enter it!” They did not. Thus it was confirmed, the obedience, and the disobedience, and the Wilayah’’.[53]

It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, and someone else, from Muhammad in Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! The Shias are asking you-asws about the interpretation of this Verse: What are they asking about? [78:1] About the Magnificent News [78:2]’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ ذَلِكَ الَّتِي إِنْ شِئْتُ أَخْبَرْتُهُمْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتُ لَمْ أُخْبِرْهُمْ
He-asws said: ‘That is up to me-asws. If I-asws so desire to I-asws shall inform them, and if I-asws so Desire, I-asws shall not inform them’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ لَكِنِّي أُخْبِرُكَ بِتَفْسِيرِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ عَمَّ يَتَساءَلُونَ
Then he-asws said: ‘But, I shall inform you of its interpretation’. I said, ‘What are they asking about? [78:1]’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ هِيَ فِي أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَقُولُ مَا لِلَّهِ آيَةٌ أَكْبَرُ مِنِّي وَ لَا لِلَّهِ مِنْ نَبَإٍ عَظِيمٍ أَعْظَمُ مِنِّي وَ لَقَدْ عُرِضَتْ وَلَايَتِي عَلَى الْأُمَمِ الْمَاضِيَةِ فَأَبَتْ أَنْ تَقْبَلَهَا
He (the narrator said) ‘He-asws said: ‘It is regarding Amir Al-Momineen-asws. It was so that Amir Al-Momineen-asws was saying: ‘There is no Sign of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic which is greater than Me-asws, and there is no News of Allah-azwj greater than Mine-asws, and my-asws Wilayah had been presented unto the previous communities, but they refused to accept it’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ قُلْ هُوَ نَبَأٌ عَظِيمٌ أَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ قَالَ هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Say: ‘It is a Magnificent News, [38:67] (And) you are turning away from it’ [38:68]?’ He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! It is Amir Al-Momineen-asws’’.[84]
4- حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عُتَيْبَةَ بَيَّاعِ الْقَصَبِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ وَلَايَتَنَا عُرِضَتْ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْأَمْصَارِ مَا قَبِلَهَا قَبُولَ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ.

It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: and the one who commits Kufr with the Eman his work would be confiscated, and in the Hereafter he would be of the losers [5:5].
قَالَ تَفْسِيرُهَا فِي بَطْنِ الْقُرْآنِ يَعْنِي مَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيٌّ هُوَ الْإِيمَانُ
He-asws said: ‘Its interpretation in the esoteric of the Quran means ones who disbelieves (commits Kufr) with the Wilayah of Ali-asws, and Ali, he-asws is the Eman’.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: and the Kafir has always been a backer against his Lord [25:55].
قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ كانَ الْكافِرُ عَلى رَبِّهِ ظَهِيراً قَالَ تَفْسِيرُهَا عَلَى بَطْنِ الْقُرْآنِ يَعْنِي عَلِيٌّ هُوَ رَبُّهُ فِي الْوَلَايَةِ وَ الطَّاعَةِ وَ الرَّبُّ هُوَ الْخَالِقُ الَّذِي لَا يُوصَفُ
He-asws said: ‘Its interpretation upon esoteric of the Quran means Ali-asws, he is his lord regarding the Wilayah and the obedience, and the Lord-azwj, He-azwj is the Creator Who cannot be described’.
وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ عَلِيّاً آيَةٌ لِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً يَدْعُو إِلَى وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ فَوَالَى اللَّهَ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادَى اللَّهَ مَنْ عَادَاهُ
And Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Ali-asws is a Sign for Muhammad-saww, and Muhammad-saww called to the Wilayah of Ali-asws. Has it not reached you the words of Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘One whose Master-saww I-saww was, so Ali-asws is his Master-asws’. O Allah-azwj! Befriend the one who befriends him-asws, and be Inimical to the one inimical to him-asws’? Allah-azwj Befriends the one befriends him-asws and Allah-azwj is Inimical to the one inimical to him-asws.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ إِنَّكُمْ لَفِي قَوْلٍ مُخْتَلِفٍ فَإِنَّهُ عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي إِنَّهُ لَمُخْتَلَفٌ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَدِ اخْتَلَفَ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ فِي وَلَايَتِهِ فَمَنِ اسْتَقَامَ عَلَى وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَنْ خَالَفَ وَلَايَةَ عَلِيٍّ دَخَلَ النَّارَ
And as for His-azwj Words: You are at variance in words [51:8], it is Ali-asws, meaning their differing upon him-asws, and this community has differed regarding his-asws Wilayah, The one who is steadfast upon the Wilayah of Ali-asws would enter the Paradise, and one who opposes the Wilayah of Ali-asws would enter the Fire.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْنِي عَلِيّاً مَنْ أُفِكَ عَنْ وَلَايَتِهِ أُفِكَ على [عَنِ] الْجَنَّةِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ يُؤْفَكُ عَنْهُ مَنْ أُفِكَ
And as for His-azwj Words: He is deluded away from it, one (who is) deluded [51:9]. It means Ali-asws, one who is deluded away from his-asws Wilayah has been deluded away from the Paradise, for these are His-azwj Words: He is deluded away from it, one (who is) deluded [51:9].
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ وَ إِنَّكَ لَتَهْدِي إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ إِنَّكَ لَتَأْمُرُ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ تَدْعُو إِلَيْهَا وَ عَلِيٌّ هُوَ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ
And as for His-azwj Words: and surely you (Rasool) guide to the Straight Path [42:52], you-saww are ordering with the Wilayah of Ali-asws and calling to it, and Ali-asws, he-asws is the Straight Path.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِالَّذِي أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ إِنَّكَ عَلَى وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيٌّ هُوَ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ
And as for His-azwj Words: Therefore adhere with that which is Revealed unto you, surely you are upon a Straight Path [43:43] – you-saww are upon the Wilayah of Ali-asws, and Ali-asws, he-asws is the Straight Path.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ فَلَمَّا نَسُوا ما ذُكِّرُوا يَعْنِي فَلَمَّا تَرَكُوا وَلَايَةَ عَلِيٍّ وَ قَدْ أُمِرُوا بِهَا فَتَحْنا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يَعْنِي مَعَ دَوْلَتِهِمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا بَسَطَ إِلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا
And as for His-azwj Words: But when they forgot what they had been’’. Reminded with, [6:44] – means, when you neglected the Wilayah of Ali-asws and you have been Commanded with it, We Opened upon them the doors of all things, – meaning with their governments in the world, and what was extended to them in it.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ حَتَّى إِذا فَرِحُوا بِما أُوتُوا أَخَذْناهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذا هُمْ مُبْلِسُونَ يَعْنِي قِيَامَ الْقَائِمِ.
And as for His-azwj Words: until when they were rejoicing with what they had been Given, We Seized them suddenly, so then they were in despair [6:44] – meaning Rising of Al-Qaim-asws’’.[86]
6- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ إِنِّي لَغَفَّارٌ لِمَنْ تابَ وَ آمَنَ وَ عَمِلَ صالِحاً ثُمَّ اهْتَدى قَالَ وَ مَنْ تَابَ مِنْ ظُلْمٍ وَ آمَنَ مِنْ كُفْرٍ وَ عَمِلَ صَالِحاً ثُمَّ اهْتَدَى إِلَى وَلَايَتِنَا وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Safwan, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: And I am Forgiving to the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then (follows) righteous Guidance [20:82]. He-asws said: ‘And one who repents from an injustice and Is safe from Kufr, and does righteous deeds, then is guided to our-asws Wilayah’, and gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws chest’’.[87]
7- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُوسَى الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي قَوْلِهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ فِطْرَتَ اللَّهِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ النَّاسَ عَلَيْها قَالَ فَقَالَ عَلَى التَّوْحِيدِ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Musa, from Al Hassan Bin Musa Al Khashab, from Ali Bin Hassaan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of Mighty and Majestic: the nature of Allah which He has Natured the people upon. [30:30]. He-asws said: ‘Upon the Tawheed, and Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj and Ali-asws is Amir (ruler) of the Momineen’’’.[88]
8- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ لا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاتِكَ وَ لا تُخافِتْ بِها وَ ابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ سَبِيلًا
Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Khalid Bin Hammad and Muhammad Bin Al Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And neither be loud with your Salat nor be silent with it, and seek a way between that’ [17:110].
قَالَ تَفْسِيرُهَا وَ لَا تَجْهَرْ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ لَا بِمَا أَكْرَمْتَهُ بِهِ حَتَّى نَأْمُرَكَ بِذَلِكَ وَ لا تُخافِتْ بِها يَعْنِي وَ لَا تَكْتُمْهَا عَلِيّاً ع وَ أَعْلِمْهُ وَ مَا أَكْرَمْتَهُ بِهِ
Its interpretation is, do not speak the Wilayah of Ali-asws or of its prestige until We-azwj Order you-saww to do so, nor be silent with it, meaning do not hide it from Ali-asws and let him-asws know what he-asws has been Made prestigious with.
وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ وَ ابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ سَبِيلًا فَإِنَّهُ يَعْنِي اطْلُبْ إِلَيَّ وَ سَلْنِي أَنْ آذَنَ لَكَ أَنْ تَجْهَرَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ ادْعُ النَّاسَ إِلَيْهَا فَأَذِنَ لَهُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ.
And as for His-azwj Words: and seek a way between that’ [17:110] – meaning, he-saww sought to speak aloud of the Wilayah of Ali-asws and call to the people towards it, and was authorised to do so on the day of Ghadeer Khum’’.[89]
9- حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ أَنَّ هذا صِراطِي مُسْتَقِيماً فَاتَّبِعُوهُ قَالَ هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ الْمِيزَانُ وَ الصِّرَاطُ.

There is none from a time except and Allah-azwj had Bequeathed the Prophet-saww with the Wilayah of Ali-asws and the Imams-asws from after him-asws, more than what He-azwj had Bequeathed him-saww with the Salat’’.[91]

It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Suleyman Al Ja’fari who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan-asws. He-asws said: ‘O Suleyman! Fear the insight of the Momin for he looks by the Noor of Allah-azwj’.
فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى أَصَبْتُ خَلْوَةً فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ سَمِعْتُكَ تَقُولُ اتَّقِ فِرَاسَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ
I was silent until I achieved privacy, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I heard you-asws saying: ‘Fear the insight of the Momineen for he looks by the Noor of Allah-azwj’?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْمُؤْمِنَ مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ صَبَغَهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَنَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ وَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ أَبُوهُ النُّورُ وَ أُمُّهُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ بِذَلِكَ النُّورِ الَّذِي خُلِقَ مِنْهُ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Suleyman! Allah-azwj Created the Momin from His-azwj Noor, and Dyed them in His-azwj Mercy, and Took their Covenant for us-asws with the Wilayah; and the Momin is a brother of the Momin of his father and his mother. His father is the Noor and his mother is the Mercy. And rather, he looks by that Noor which he has been Created from’’.[92]

فَقَالَ يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ صَبَغَهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَنَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ عَلَى مَعْرِفَتِهِ يَوْمَ عَرَّفَهُمْ نَفْسَهُ
He-asws said: ‘O Muawiya! Allah-azwj Created the Momineen from His-azwj Noor, and dyed them in His-azwj Mercy, and Took their Covenant for us-asws with the Wilayah upon His-azwj Recognition on the day He-azwj Introduced Himself-azwj.
فَالْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ أَبُوهُ النُّورُ وَ أُمُّهُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ إِنَّمَا يَنْظُرُ بِذَلِكَ النُّورِ الَّذِي خُلِقَ مِنْهُ.
Thus, the Momin is a brother of the Momin of this father and his mother. His father is the Noor and his mother the Mercy, and rather he looks with the Noor which He-azwj is Created from it’’.[93]
3- حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ لَنَا شِيعَةً فَجَعَلَهُمْ مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ صَبَغَهُمْ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لَنَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ عَلَى مَعْرِفَتِهِ يَوْمَ عَرَّفَهُمْ نَفْسَهُ
It is narrated to us by Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Made Shias for us-asws, Making them from His-azwj Noor, and Dyed them in His-azwj Mercy, and Took their Covenant for us-asws with the Wilayah upon His-azwj Recognition on the day He-azwj Introduced Himself-azwj.
فَهُوَ الْمُتَقَبِّلُ مِنْ مُحْسِنِهِمْ الْمُتَجَاوَزُ عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَلْقَ اللَّهَ مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ لَمْ يَتَقَبَّلْ مِنْهُ حَسَنَةً وَ لَمْ يَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَةً.
He-azwj is the Accepter from their good deeds, and the Overlooker from their evil deeds. One who does not meet Allah-azwj with what he is upon, a good deed would not be Accepted from him, and an evil deed would not be Overlooked from him’’.[94]

1- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ فَخَلَقَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِمَّا أَحَبَّ وَ كَانَ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ خَلَقَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ مِمَّا أَبْغَضَ وَ كَانَ مَا أَبْغَضَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ مِنْ طِينَةِ النَّارِ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Jufy, from Abu Ja’far, from Uqba,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Created the creatures. He-azwj Created the one He-azwj Loved from what He-azwj Loved, and Loved that He-azwj Creates him from the clay of Paradise. And He-azwj Created the one He-azwj Hated from what He-azwj Hated, and what He-azwj Hated was that He-azwj Creates him from the clay of the Fire.
ثُمَّ بَعَثَهُمْ فِي الظِّلَالِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ الظِّلَالُ قَالَ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِذَا ظُلِّلَ فِي الشَّمْسِ شَيْءٌ وَ لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ
Then He-azwj Sent them into the shadows’. He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Which thing is the shadows?’ He-asws said: ‘Do you not see when there is a shadow of something in the sun, and it isn’t anything (material)?
ثُمَّ بَعَثَ فِيهِمُ النَّبِيِّينَ يَدْعُونَهُمْ إِلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِاللَّهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ وَ لَئِنْ سَأَلْتَهُمْ مَنْ خَلَقَهُمْ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ
Then He-azwj Sent the Prophets-as among them, calling them to the acknowledgment with Allah-azwj, and it is His-azwj Word: And if you were to ask them who created them, they would certainly say, ‘Allah’. [43:87].
ثُمَّ دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِقْرَارِ بِالنَّبِيِّينَ فَأَقَرَّ بَعْضُهُمْ وَ أَنْكَرَ بَعْضُهُمْ
Then He-azwj Called them to the acknowledgment with the Prophets-as. Some of them acknowledged and some of them denied.
ثُمَّ دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى وَلَايَتِنَا فَأَقَرَّ وَ اللَّهِ بِهَا مَنْ أَحَبَّ وَ أَنْكَرَهَا مَنْ أَبْغَضَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ فَما كانُوا لِيُؤْمِنُوا بِما كَذَّبُوا بِهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ
Then He-azwj Called them to our-asws Wilayah, so by Allah-azwj, he acknowledged with it the One He-azwj Loved, and he denied it, one He-azwj Hated, and it is His-azwj Word: ‘but they did not believe due to what they had belied with from before. [10:74]’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع كَانَ التَّكْذِيبُ ثَمَّةَ.
Then Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Belying was from then’’.[95]

It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Al Husayn Bin Nueym Al Sahhaf who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: so from you is a Kafir and from you is a Momin, [64:2]. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! And Allah-azwj Recognised their Eman by their Wilayah for us-asws, and their Kufr with it on the day Allah-azwj took the Covenant upon them in the lineage of Adam-as and they were particles’’.[96]

It is narrated to us by Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, and Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman, from Al Haysam Bin Waqid, from Abu Yusuf Al Bazaz,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws recited to us this Verse: Therefore remember the Favour of Allah [7:74]. He-asws said: ‘Do you know what is the Favour of Allah-azwj?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘It is the most magnificent Bounty of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures, and it is our-asws Wilayah’’.[97]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Resembled for me my-saww community in the clay, and Taught me-saww their names, all of them, just as had He Taught Adam the names, all of them [2:31].
فَمَرَّ بِي أَصْحَابُ الرَّايَاتِ فَاسْتَغْفَرْتُ لِعَلِيٍّ وَ شِيعَتِهِ إِنَّ رَبِّي وَعَدَنِي فِي شِيعَةِ عَلِيٍّ خَصْلَةً
The bearers of the flags passed by and they sought Forgiveness for Ali-asws of his-asws Shias. My-saww Lord-azwj Promised me-saww a quality regarding Shias of Ali-asws’.
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا هِيَ قَالَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ مِنْهُمْ لِمَنْ آمَنَ وَ اتَّقَى لَا يُغَادِرُ مِنْهُمْ صَغِيرَةً وَ لَا كَبِيرَةً وَ لَهُمْ تُبَدَّلُ السَّيِّئَاتُ حَسَنَاتٍ.
It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! And what is it?’ He-saww said: ‘The Forgiveness from them for the ones who believe and fear. Neither a small nor big from them would be left out, and for them the evil deeds would be replaced by the good deeds’’.[104]

Al Husayn Bin Mahboub, from Salih Bin Sahl,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘One of the Quraysh said to Rasool-Allah-saww, ‘By which thing do you-saww precede the Prophets-as and you-saww have been Sent as their end one and the last of them-as?’
قَالَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَقَرَّ بِرَبِّي وَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ أَجَابَ حَيْثُ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَاقَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ أَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَ لَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قالُوا بَلى وَ كُنْتُ أَنَا أَوَّلَ نَبِيٍّ قَالَ بَلَى فَسَبَقْتُهُمْ بِالْإِقْرَارِ بِاللَّهِ.
He-saww said: ‘I-saww was the first one to acknowledge with my-saww Lord-azwj, and the first one to answer when Allah-azwj Took the Covenant of the Prophets-as: and Made them testify against their own selves: “Am I not your Lord?” They said, ‘Yes, we testify’.

It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Al Na’my, from Ibn Muskan, from Abdul Raheem Al Quseyr,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘My-saww community was presented unto me-saww during the Covenant, and the first one to believe in me-saww and ratify me-saww was Ali-asws, and he-asws was the first one to believe in me-saww and ratify me-saww when I-saww was Sent.

It is narrated to us by Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from hammad Bin Isa, from Abu Al Jarouf, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said one day, and in his-saww presence was a group of his-saww companions: ‘O Allah-azwj! My-saww brothers have met me-saww twice’. The ones from his-saww companions around him-saww said, ‘Are we not your-saww brothers, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’
فَقَالَ لَا إِنَّكُمْ أَصْحَابِي وَ إِخْوَانِي قَوْمٌ مِنْ آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ آمَنُوا بِي وَ لَمْ يَرَوْنِي
He-saww said: ‘No, you are my-saww companions, and my-saww brothers are a people from the end of times. They will believe in me-saww and they would not have seen me-saww.
لَقَدْ عَرَّفَنِيهِمُ اللَّهُ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَ أَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْ أَصْلَابِ آبَائِهِمْ وَ أَرْحَامِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ لَأَحَدُهُمْ أَشَدُّ بَقِيَّةً عَلَى دِينِهِ مِنْ خَرْطِ الْقَتَادِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الظَّلْمَاءِ أَوْ كَالْقَابِضِ عَلَى جَمْرِ الْغَضَا أُولَئِكَ مَصَابِيحُ الدُّجَى يُنْجِيهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ فِتْنَةٍ غَبْرَاءَ مُظْلِمَةٍ.
Allah-azwj Introduced them with their names and the names of their fathers from before He-azwj Extracted them from the lineages of their fathers and the wombs of their mothers. For each one of them, remaining upon his Religion would be more difficult than shaping a metal during the dark night or like grabbing upon the fiery ember. They are the lamps for the darkness. Allah-azwj will Save them from every Fitna of the darkness of the earth’’.[107]

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي فِيهِمْ
Ali-asws said: ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! Increase for me-asws regarding them’.
قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا عَلِيُّ تَخْرُجُ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ وَ وُجُوهُكُمْ كَالْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ وَ قَدْ فُرِّجَتْ عَنْكُمُ الشَّدَائِدُ وَ ذَهَبَتْ عَنْكُمُ الْأَحْزَانُ تَسْتَظِلُّونَ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ يَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا تَخَافُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا تَحْزَنُونَ وَ تُوضَعُ لَكُمْ مَائِدَةٌ وَ النَّاسُ فِي الْحِسَابِ.
He-saww said: ‘Yes, O Ali-asws! You-asws and your-asws Shias will emerge from their graves and their faces would be like the full moon on the night of the full moon, and the difficulties would have been relieved from you, and the grief(s) would be gone from you. You all will be shaded beneath the Throne. The people would fear and you will not be fearing, and the people would grieve, and you will not be grieving, and a meal would be placed for you while the people would be in the Reckoning’’.[108]

فَسَأَلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْأَرْوَاحَ خُلِقَتْ قَبْلَ الْأَبْدَانِ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ ثُمَّ أُسْكِنَتِ الْهَوَاءَ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ ائْتَلَفَ هَاهُنَا وَ مَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ اخْتَلَفَ هَاهُنَا وَ إِنَّ رُوحِي أَنْكَرَ رُوحَكَ.
He-asws asked him, then said to him: ‘The souls were Created before the bodies by two thousand years, then they dwelt in the atmosphere, so whatever recognition it, it is from these. Then they get together over her, and whatever they deny is from these. Then they differ over here, and my-asws should denies your soul’’.[123]

It is narrated to us by Abu Muhammad, from Imran Bin Musa, from Yunus Bin Ja’far, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘A man said to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, ‘By Allah-azwj, I love you-asws!’ – three times. Ali-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! You do not love me’.
فَغَضِبَ الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ كَأَنَّكَ وَ اللَّهِ تُخْبِرُنِي مَا فِي نَفْسِي قَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع لَا وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْأَرْوَاحَ قَبْلَ الْأَبْدَانِ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَلَمْ أَرَ رُوحَكَ فِيهَا.
The man got angry and said, ‘By Allah-azwj! It is as if you-asws are informed of what is within myself’. Ali-asws said to him: ‘No, but Allah-azwj Created the souls before the bodies by two thousand years, and I-asws did not see your soul therein’’.[124]

It is narrated to us by Abu Muhammad, from Imran Bin Musa, from Ibrahim Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Bilad, from his father,
‘From one of the companions of Amir Al-Momineen-asws who said, ‘Abdul Rahman Bin Muljim-la, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la, entered to see Amir Al-Momineen-asws among a delegation of Egypt whom Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr had delegated, and with him was a letter of the delegation.
قَالَ فَلَمَّا مَرَّ بِاسْمِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ مُلْجَمٍ قَالَ أَنْتَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ مَا وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ قَالَ كَذَبْتَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا تُحِبُّنِي ثَلَاثاً
He (the narrator) said, ‘When he passed by the name of Abdul Rahman Bin Muljim-la, he-asws said: ‘You-la are Abdur Rahman-la? May Allah-azwj Curse Abdul Rahman-la’. He-la said, ‘Yes, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws. By Allah-azwj, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, I love you-asws!’ He-asws said: ‘You-la are lying, by Allah-azwj, you-la do not love me-asws’ – three times.
قَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَحْلِفُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيْمَانٍ أَنِّي أُحِبُّكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَحْلِفُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيْمَانٍ أَنِّي لَا أُحِبُّكَ
He-la said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I-la am swearing three oaths, I-la love you-asws, and you-asws are swearing three oaths that I-la do not love you-asws’.
قَالَ وَيْلَكَ أَوْ وَيْحَكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْأَرْوَاحَ قَبْلَ الْأَبْدَانِ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ فَأَسْكَنَهَا الْهَوَاءَ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا هُنَالِكَ ائْتَلَفَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنَّ رُوحِي لَا تَعْرِفُ رُوحَكَ
He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you!’ Or ‘Alas! Allah-azwj Created the souls before the bodies by two thousand years, and Settled them in the air. So, whichever recognised over there get together over here in the world, and whichever of these denied get together in the world, and my-asws soul does not recognise your soul’.
قَالَ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى قَالَ إِذَا سَرَّكُمْ أَنْ تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى قَاتِلِي فَانْظُرُوا إِلَى هَذَا قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ أَ وَ لَا تَقْتُلُهُ أَوْ قَالَ تَقْتُلُهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ هَذَا تَأْمُرُونِّي أَنْ أَقْتُلَ قَاتِلِي لع.
He (the narrator) said, ‘When he-asws became ruler, he-asws said: ‘When it cheers you to look at my-asws killer, then look at this one’. One of the people said, ‘Or will you-asws not kill him?’ Or said, ‘Kill him!’ He-asws said: ‘Who is more astounding than this one instructing me-asws to kill my-asws killer’’.[125]

Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Adam, from Abu Al Husayn, from Ismail, from Abu Hamza, from the one who narrated it,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘A man came to Amir Al-Momineen-asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws, by Allah-azwj, I love you-asws!’ He-asws said: ‘You are lying!’ The man said to him-asws, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! It is as if you-asws recognise what is within myself’.
قَالَ فَغَضِبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قَالَ كَيْفَ لَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى خَلَقَ الْأَرْوَاحَ قَبْلَ الْأَبْدَانِ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ ثُمَّ عَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا الْمُحِبَّ مِنَ الْمُبْغِضِ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا رَأَيْتُكَ فِيمَنْ أَحَبَّنَا.
He (Abu Abdullah-asws) said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws got angry and raised his-asws hand towards the sky and said: ‘How can that no happen to be and He-azwj, our Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted, Created the souls before the bodies by two thousand years, then Present the loving one to us-asws from the hating one. By Allah-azwj! I-asws did not see you being among ones who love us-asws’’.[126]
16 باب في الأئمة ع أنهم يعرفون ما رأوا في الميثاق و غيره
CHAPTER 16 – REGARDING THE IMAMS-asws, THEY-asws RECOGNISE WHAT THEY-asws HAD SEEN DURING THE COVENANT AND OTHER
1- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ مَعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَ شِيعَتِنَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ لَنَا وَ هُمْ ذَرٌّ يَوْمَ أَخَذَ الْمِيثَاقَ عَلَى الذَّرِّ بِالْإِقْرَارِ لَهُ بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ وَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص بِالنُّبُوَّةِ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Muhammad Bin Al Husayn both together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raid, from Ibn Bukeyr who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws was saying: ‘Allah-azwj Took the Covenant of our-asws Shias with the Wilayah for us-asws, they were particles on the day. He-azwj Took the Covenant upon the particles with the acknowledgment to Him-azwj with the Lordship, and to Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood.
وَ عَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص أُمَّتَهُ فِي الطِّينِ وَ هُمْ أَظِلَّةٌ وَ خَلَقَهُمْ مِنَ الطِّينَةِ الَّتِي خَلَقَ مِنْهَا آدَمَ وَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ أَرْوَاحَ شِيعَتِنَا قَبْلَ أَبْدَانِهِمْ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ وَ عَرَضَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَرَّفَهُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَرَّفَهُمْ عَلِيّاً ع وَ نَحْنُ نَعْرِفُهُمْ فِي لَحْنِ الْقَوْلِ.
And Allah-azwj Presented unto Muhammad-saww, his-saww community, in the clay, and they were shadows, and Created them from the clay which He-azwj had Created Adam-as from, and Created the souls of our-asws Shias before their bodies by two thousand (millenniums) and Presented them to him-saww, and Rasool-Allah-saww recognised them and Ali-asws recognised them, and we-asws recognise them in the tone of the word’’.[127]
2- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ قَالَ يُوفُونَ بِالنَّذْرِ الَّذِي أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ مِنْ وَلَايَتِنَا.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: They are fulfilling the vows [76:7]. He-asws said: ‘They fulfil the vows of our-asws Wilayah which were Taken upon them during the Covenant’’.[128]
3- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ نَصْرِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَخَذَ مِيثَاقَ شِيعَتِنَا مِنْ صُلْبِ آدَمَ فَنَعْرِفُ بِذَلِكَ حُبَّ الْمُحِبِّ وَ إِنْ أَظْهَرَ خِلَافَ ذَلِكَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَ نَعْرِفُ بُغْضَ الْمُبْغِضِ وَ إِنْ أَظْهَرَ حُبَّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Hammad Al Kufy, from his father, from Nasr Bin Muzahim, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Took the Covenant of our-asws Shias from the Sulb (ribs) of Adam-as. Thus, we-asws recognise the love of the lover and even if he were to display opposite to that by his tongue, and we-asws recognise hatred of the hating one and even if he were to display our-asws love, People-asws of the Household’’.[129]

CHAPTER 17 – REGARDING THE IMAMS-asws, AND THAT THE ANGELS ENTER THEIR-asws HOUSES AND CIRCLE (TREAD) THEIR-asws CARPETS AND COME TO THEM-asws WITH THE NEWS
1- حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ كِرْدِينٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنِّي اعْتَلَلْتُ فَكُنْتُ إِذَا أَكَلْتُ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ تَأَذَّيْتُ بِهِ وَ إِنِّي أَكَلْتُ مِنْ طَعَامِكَ وَ لَمْ أَتَأَذَّ بِهِ
It is narrated to us by Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Sinan, from Misma’a Kirdeyn who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I was sick, and it was so that when I ate with the man, I was harmed by it, and I ate from your-asws meal, I was not harmed by it’.
قَالَ إِنَّكَ لَتَأْكُلُ طَعَامَ قَوْمٍ تُصَافِحُهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِهِمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ يَظْهَرُونَ لَكُمْ قَالَ هُمْ أَلْطَفُ بِصِبْيَانِنَا مِنَّا.
He-asws said: ‘You-asws had eaten a meal of a people the Angels shake hands with them-asws upon their-asws furnishing’. I said, ‘And they appear to you-asws all?’ He-asws said: ‘They-asws are kinder with our-asws children than we-asws are’’.[130]
2- حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: يَا حُسَيْنُ بُيُوتُنَا مَهْبِطُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَنْزِلُ الْوَحْيِ وَ ضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى مَسَاوِرَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ يَا حُسَيْنُ مَسَاوِرُ وَ اللَّهِ طَالَ مَا اتَّكَتْ عَلَيْهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ رُبَّمَا الْتَقَطْنَا مِنْ زَغَبِهَا.
It is narrated to us by Ibn Isa, from Muhammad Al Barqy, from Muhammad Bin al Qasim, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said; ‘O Husayn! Our-asws houses are the landing strips of the Angels, and stations of the Revelation’, and he-asws struck his-asws hands to a pillow in the room and said: ‘O Husayn! By Allah-azwj, a pillow is taller after the Angels have leaned upon it, and sometimes we pick up their fluff from it’’.[131]
3- حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْيَسَعِ قَالَ: دَخَلَ حُمْرَانُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ قَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَبْلُغُنَا أَنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَ اللَّهِ لَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْنَا وَ تَطَأُ فُرُشَنَا أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخافُوا وَ لا تَحْزَنُوا وَ أَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ.
It is narrated to us by Imran Bin Musa, from Musa Bin Ja’far, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Abdullah Bin Sahl Al Ash’ary, from his father, from Abu Al Yas’a who said,
‘Humran Bin Ayn entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws and said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! It has reached us that the Angels tend to descend unto you-asws all’. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The Angels descend upon us-asws, and tread our furnishings. Have you not read the Book of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Surely those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah!’, then they are steadfast, the Angels would descend unto them (saying): ‘Do not fear, and do not grieve, and receive glad tidings of the Paradise which you were Promised [41:30]’’.[132]
4- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقامُوا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخافُوا وَ لا تَحْزَنُوا وَ أَبْشِرُوا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُونَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ وَسَّدْنَاهُمُ الْوَسَائِدَ فِي مَنَازِلِنَا.
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Al Rabie Bin Abu Al Khattab, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Suleyman bin Khalid,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of the Exalted: Surely, those who say, ‘Our Lord is Allah!’, then they are steadfast, the Angels would descend unto them (saying): ‘Do not fear, and do not grieve, and receive glad tidings of the Paradise which you were Promised [41:30], Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! We-asws make them recline upon the cushions in our-asws houses’’.[133]
5- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُصَدِّقِ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنِ السَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ شَيْئاً عَلَى وَسَائِدَ كَانَتْ فِي مَنْزِلِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا مَا هَذَا جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ كَانَ يُشْبِهُ شَيْئاً يَكُونُ فِي الْحَشِيشِ كَثِيراً كَأَنَّهُ خَرَزَةٌ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Bin Fazzal, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Musaddiq Bin Sadaqa, from Al Sabatany who said,
‘I came across something upon a pillow which was in the house of Abu Abdullah-asws. One of our companions said to him-asws, ‘What is this? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’ And it was resembling something than happens to be among a lot of grass, as if it was beads.
فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع هَذَا مِمَّا يَسْقُطُ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَمَّارُ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتَأْتِينَا وَ إِنَّهَا لَتَمُرُّ بِأَجْنِحَتِهَا عَلَى رُءُوسِ صِبْيَانِنَا يَا عَمَّارُ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتُزَاحِمُنَا عَلَى نَمَارِقِنَا.
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘This is from what falls off from the wings of the Angels’. Then he-asws said: ‘O Ammar! The Angels tend to come to us-asws, and they pass by upon the heads of our-asws children. O Ammar! The Angels tend to compete with each other over our-asws cushions’’.[134]
6- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ الْأَحْمَسِيِّ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَاحْتُبِسْتُ فِي الدَّارِ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ الْبَيْتَ وَ هُوَ يَلْتَقِطُ شَيْئاً وَ أَدْخَلَ يَدَهُ فِي وَرَاءِ السِّتْرِ فَنَاوَلَهُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا الَّذِي أَرَاكَ تَلْتَقِطُ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Malik Bin Atiyya Al Ahmasy, from Al Sumali who said,
‘I entered to see Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws. I was withheld in the house for a moment, then entered the house to see him-asws, and he-asws had picked up something and inserted his-asws behind the curtain and gave it to someone in the house. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! This which you-asws picked up, which thing is it?’
فَقَالَ فَضْلَةٌ مِنْ زَغَبِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ نَجْمَعُهُ إِذَا جَاءُونَا وَ نَجْعَلُهُ سِخَاباً لِأَوْلَادِنَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَأْتُونَكُمْ قَالَ يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ إِنَّهُمْ لَيُزَاحِمُونَّا عَلَى تُكَأَتِنَا.
He-asws said: ‘It is a remnant from the fluff of the Angels. We-asws gather it when they come to us-asws, and we-asws make a toy for our-asws children’. I said to him-asws. ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And they come to you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘O Abu Hamza-ra! They tend to fight with each other over our-asws pillows’’.[135]
7- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ خَيْثَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ إِلَيْنَا تَخْتَلِفُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ.
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ibn Marouf, from Abdullah bin Abdul Rahman Al Basry, from Abu Al Magra’a, from Abu Baseer, from Khaysama,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘We-asws are those the Angels interchange to us-asws’’.[136]
8- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مِنَّا مَنْ يَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ وَ لَا يَرَى الصُّورَةَ وَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتُزَاحِمُنَا عَلَى تُكَأَتِنَا وَ إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ مِنْ زَغَبِهِمْ فَنَجْعَلُهُ سِخَاباً لِأَوْلَادِنَا.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Barqy, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Malik, from Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘From us-asws is one who hears the voice and does not see the face, and that the Angels tend to fight each other over our-asws pillows, and we-asws tend to take from their fluff and make a toy for our-asws children’’.[137]
9- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ كِرْدِينٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ لَا أَزِيدُ عَلَى أُكْلَةٍ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ فَرُبَّمَا اسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ أُخِذَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ لَعَلِّي لَا أَرَاهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Abdullah Bin Aamir, from Ibn Sinan, from Misma’a Kirdeyn Al Basry who said,
‘I did not use to eat quite excessively during the night and the day. Sometimes I would seek permission (late) to see Abu Abdullah, and he-asws would have taken the meal so that I would not see it.
فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُ دَعَا بِهَا فَأَصَبْتُ مَعَهُ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ لَا أَتَأَذَّى بِذَلِكَ وَ إِذَا عَقَّبْتُ بِالطَّعَامِ عِنْدَ غَيْرِهِ لَمْ أَقْدِرْ عَلَى أَنْ أَقِرَّ وَ لَمْ أَنَمْ مِنَ النَّفْخَةِ فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَخْبَرْتُهُ بِأَنِّي إِذَا أَكَلْتُ عِنْدَهُ لَمْ أَتَأَذَّ بِهِ
Then I entered and he-asws called for it and I attained with him-asws from the meal, and I was not harmed by that, and then I followed it with the meal with others, and I was not able upon settling down, and could not sleep from the murmur (gas). I complained of that to him-asws and informed him-asws with that whenever I ate with him-asws I was not harmed by it.
فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا سَيَّارٍ إِنَّكَ لَتَأْكُلُ طَعَامَ قَوْمٍ صَالِحِينَ تُصَافِحُهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ عَلَى فُرُشِهِمْ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَظْهَرُونَ لَكُمْ قَالَ فَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى بَعْضِ صِبْيَانِهِ فَقَالَ هُمْ أَلْطَفُ بِصِبْيَانِنَا مِنَّا بِهِمْ.
He-asws said: ‘O Abu Sayyar! You are eating food of a righteous people. The Angels shake their-asws hands upon their-asws furnishings’. I said, ‘They appear to you-asws?’ He-asws wiped his-asws hand upon one of his-asws children and said: ‘They are kinder with our-asws children than we-asws are with them’’.[138]
10- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ النَّضْرِيِّ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عَلَى بَعْضِ صِبْيَانِهِمْ تَعْوِيذاً فَقُلْتُ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ أَ مَا يُكْرَهُ تَعْوِيذُ الْقُرْآنِ تُعَلَّقُ عَلَى الصَّبِيِّ قَالَ إِنَّ ذَا لَيْسَ بِذَا إِنَّمَا ذَا مِنْ رِيشِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تَطَأُ فُرُشَنَا وَ تَمْسَحُ رُءُوسَ صِبْيَانِنَا.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Al Barqy, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Shuayn, from Al Haris Al Nazry who said,
‘I saw an amulet upon one of their-asws children so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Isn’t the amulet of the Quran disliked to be upon the children?’ He-asws said: ‘This isn’t that, but rather it is from a feather of the angels. The Angels tread our-asws furnishings and caress the heads of our-asws children’’.[139]

Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Abdul Hameed Al Taie who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘They tend to come to us-asws and greet and we place our-asws cushions for them, meaning the Angels’’.[140]
12- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ صَالِحٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتُزَاحِمُنَا وَ إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ مِنْ زَغَبِهِمْ فَنَجْعَلُهُ سِخَاباً لِأَوْلَادِنَا.

It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,
‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. While I was seated in his-asws presence when Musa-asws, his-asws son-asws came and in his-asws neck was a necklace wherein was a thick feather. I called him-asws and kissed him-asws and hugged him-asws, then I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Which thing is this which is in the neck of Musa-as?’
فَقَالَ هَذَا مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ إِنَّهَا لَتَأْتِيَنَّكُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنَّهَا لَتَأْتِينَا وَ تَتَعَفَّرُ فِي فُرُشِنَا وَ إِنَّ هَذَا الَّذِي فِي رَقَبَةِ مُوسَى مِنْ أَجْنِحَتِهَا.
He-asws said: ‘This is from a wing of the Angel’. I said, ‘And they tend to come to you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, they do tend to come to us-asws, and roll in our-asws furnishings, and this which is in the neck of Musa-as is from their wings’’.[142]
14- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ لَتُزَاحِمُنَا عَلَى تُكَأَتِنَا وَ إِنَّا لَنَأْخُذُ مِنْ زَغَبِهِمْ فَنَجْعَلُهُ سِخَاباً لِأَوْلَادِنَا.

1- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَسَدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ نُعْمَانَ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بَعْدَ قَتْلِ عُثْمَانَ حِينَ نَاشَدَ الْقَوْمَ نَشَدْتُكُمُ اللَّهَ هَلْ فِيكُمْ أَحَدٌ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ إِسْرَافِيلُ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَلْفٍ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ غَيْرِي قَالُوا اللَّهُمَّ لَا.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Husayn Bin Asad, from Al Husayn Al Qummi, from Numan Bin Al Munzir, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,
From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said after the killing of Usman when he-asws adjured the people: ‘I-asws adjure you all with Allah-azwj! Is there anyone among you Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as and Israfeel-as saluted him among three thousand of the Angels on the day of Badr, apart from me-asws?’ They said, ‘O Allah-azwj, no!’’[153]

CHAPTER 18 – REGARDING THE IMAMS-asws, AND THAT THE JINN COME TO THEM-asws ASKING THEM-asws ABOUT THE TEACHINGS OF THEIR RELIGION AND THEY-asws SEND THEM REGARDING THEIR-asws NEEDS AND RECOGNISE THEM
1- حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: يَوْمُ الْأَحَدِ لِلْجِنِّ لَيْسَ تَظْهَرُ فِيهِ لِأَحَدٍ غَيْرِنَا.
It is narrated to us by Ali Bin Hasan, from Musa bin Bakr, from a man,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The day of Sunday is for the Jinn, they do not appear to anyone during it apart from us-asws’’.[154]
2- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ: أَوْصَانِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع بِحَوَائِجَ لَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا فِي فَجِّ الرَّوْحَاءِ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِي إِذاً إِنْسَانٌ يَلْوِي بِثَوْبِهِ قَالَ فَمِلْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ عَطْشَانٌ فَنَاوَلْتُهُ الْإِدَاوَةَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي بِهَا
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Bilad, from Sadeyr Al Sayrafi who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws sent me regarding some needs of his-asws 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’far-asws. 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’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الْتَفَتُّ فَإِذاً لَيْسَ عِنْدِي أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع فَلَقِيتُهُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَجُلٌ أَتَانِي بِكِتَابِكَ وَ طِينُهُ رَطْبٌ قَالَ إِذَا عَجِلَ بِنَا أَمْرٌ أَرْسَلْتُ بَعْضَهُمْ يَعْنِي الْجِنَّ
Then he (the narrator said), ‘I turned around and there wasn’t anyone with me. So, I proceeded to Abu Ja’far-asws and met him. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A man came to me with your-asws letter and its texture was wet’ (ink). When there is haste for us-asws with a matter, I-asws send one of them’ – meaning the Jinn’.
وَ زَادَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ يَا سَدِيرُ إِنَّ لَنَا خَدَماً مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا السُّرْعَةَ بَعَثْنَاهُمْ.
And there is an increase in it by Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, by this chain: ‘O Sadeyr! For us-asws there are servants from the Jinn. Whenever we-asws want quickness, we-asws send them’’.[155]
3- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقِيلَ إِنَّ عِنْدَهُ قوم [قَوْماً] أَثْبُتُ قَلِيلًا حَتَّى يَخْرُجُوا فَخَرَجَ قَوْمٌ أَنْكَرْتُهُمْ وَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُمْ ثُمَّ أَذِنَ لِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا زَمَانُ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ سَيْفُهُمْ يَقْطُرُ دَماً فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا حَمْزَةَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَفْدُ شِيعَتِنَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ جَاءُوا يَسْأَلُونَنَا عَنْ مَعَالِمِ دِينِهِمْ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Malik Bin Ayiyya, from Al Sumali who said,
‘I was seeking permission to see Abu Ja’far-asws. It was said, ‘There is a group with him, wait for a while until they come out’. A group came out I disliked and did not recognise them. Then he-asws permitted for me, so I entered to see him-asws and said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! This is the era of the clan of Umayya and their swords are dripping blood’. He-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Hamza! They are a delegation of our-asws Shias from the Jinn. They came to ask us-asws about the matters of their Religion’’.[156]
4- حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِيمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذَا الْتَفَتَ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ أَسْوَدُ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ قَبَّحَكَ اللَّهُ مَا أَشَدَّ مُسَارَعَتَكَ فَإِذَا هُوَ شَبِيهٌ بِالطَّائِرِ فَقُلْتُ مَا هُوَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ هَذَا عَثْمٌ بَرِيدُ الْجِنِّ مَاتَ هِشَامٌ السَّاعَةَ فَهُوَ يَطِيرُ يَنْعَاهُ فِي كُلِّ بَلْدَةٍ.
It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin al Hakam from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Al Sumali who said,
‘I was with Abu Abdullah-asws in what is between Makkah and Al-Medina when he-asws turned towards his-asws left, and there was a black dog. He-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you? May Allah-azwj Uglify you! How quick you are’. And there he was resembling the bird. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What is it?’ He-asws said: ‘This is Asam, ‘postman’ of the Jinn. Hisham died just now so he is flying out to give the news of his death in every city’’.[157]
5- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ بَابَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مَعَ أَصْحَابٍ لَنَا لِنَدْخُلَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا ثَمَانِيَةُ نَفَرٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ مِنْ أَبٍ وَ أُمٍّ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابٌ زَرَابِيُّ وَ أَقْبِيَةٌ طَاقَ طَاقَ وَ عَمَائِمُ صُفْرٌ دَخَلُوا فَمَا احْتَبَسُوا حَتَّى خَرَجُوا
It is narrated to us by Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Ibn Hazim, from Sa’ad Al Iskaf who said,
‘I came to the door of Abu Ja’far-asws with companions of our in order to enter to see him-asws, and there were eight persons as if they were from a father and mother (resembling each other), having clothes of carpets and cloaks, layer upon layer, and their turbans were yellow. They entered and were not withheld until they came out.
قَالَ لِي يَا سَعْدُ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ أُولَئِكَ إِخْوَانُكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ أَتَوْنَا يَسْتَفْتُونَنَا فِي حَلَالِهِمْ وَ حَرَامِهِمْ كَمَا تَأْتُونَّا وَ تَسْتَفْتُونَّا فِي حَلَالِكُمْ وَ حَرَامِكُمْ.
He-asws said to me: ‘O Sa’ad! Did you see them?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws! He-asws said: ‘They are your brethren from the Jinn. They came to us-asws to have our-asws verdicts regarding their Permissible(s) and their Prohibitions, just as you (Shias) come to us-asws and have our-asws verdicts regarding your Permissible(s) and your Prohibitions’’[158]
6- عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ قَالَ: طَلَبْتُ الْإِذْنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَبَعَثَ إِلَيَّ لَا تَعْجَلْ فَإِنَّ عِنْدِي قَوْماً مِنْ إِخْوَانِكُمْ فَلَمْ أَلْبَثْ أَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَيَّ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلًا يُشْبِهُونَ الزُّطَّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَقْبِيَةٌ طَبَقَيْنِ وَ خِفَافٌ فَسَلَّمُوا وَ مَرُّوا
From him, from Ibn Sinan, from Ibn Muskan, from Sa’ad Al Iskaf who said,
‘I sought the permission from Abu Ja’far-asws and he-asws sent a message to me: ‘Do not be hasty for there is a group of your brethren in my-asws presence’. It was not long before twelve men came out to me resembling the generation of one people (similar looking), having cloaks upon them, layered, and footwear. They greeted and passed by.
وَ دَخَلْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا أَعْرِفُ هَؤُلَاءِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ الَّذِينَ خَرَجُوا فَمَنْ هُمْ قَالَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَوْمٌ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَ يَظْهَرُونَ لَكُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
And I entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws and said to him-asws, ‘I did not recognise them, may I be sacrificed for you-asws, those who came out, so who are they?’ He-asws said: ‘They are a people from your brethren from the Jinn’. I said to him-asws, ‘And they appear to you (Imams-asws)?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’’.[159]
7- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ ثُعْبَانٌ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَهَمَّ النَّاسُ أَنْ يَقْتُلُوهُ فَأَرْسَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِلَيْهِمْ أَنْ كُفُّوا فَكَفُّوا وَ أَقْبَلَ الثُّعْبَانُ يَنْسَابُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْمِنْبَرِ
It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ibrahim Bin Ayoub, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘While Amir Al-Momineen-asws was upon the pulpit when a serpent came from an area of a door from the doors of the Masjid. The people thought of killing it, but Amir Al-Momineen-asws sent a message to them to refrain. So, they refrained, and the serpent came slithering until it ended up to the pulpit.
فَتَطَاوَلَ وَ سَلَّمَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَأَشَارَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِيَدِهِ فَنَظَرَ النَّاسُ وَ الثُّعْبَانُ فِي أَصْلِ الْمِنْبَرِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مِنْ خُطْبَتِهِ
It stood tall and greeted unto Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Amir Al-Momineen-asws gestured with his-asws hand, and the people looked on and the serpent was at the base of the pulpit until Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws was free from his-asws sermon.
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ خَلِيفَتُكَ عَلَى الْجِنِّ وَ إِنَّ أَبِي مَاتَ وَ أَوْصَانِي أَنْ آتِيَكَ فَأَسْتَطْلِعَ رَأْيَكَ فَقَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ وَ مَا تَرَى
Then he-asws turned towards it and said to it: ‘Who are you?’ It said, ‘I am Amro Bin Usman, your-asws caliph upon the Jinn, and my father died and bequeathed me that I come to you-asws and be notified of your-asws view, so I have come to you-asws, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws. What are you-asws ordering me with and what is your-asws view?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أُوصِيكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ أَنْ تَنْصَرِفَ فَتَقُومَ مَقَامَ أَبِيكَ فِي الْجِنِّ فَإِنَّكَ خَلِيفَتِي عَلَيْهِمْ
Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘I-asws bequeath you with fearing Allah-azwj, and you should leave and stand in the place of your father among the Jinn, for you are (now) my caliph upon them’.
قَالَ فَوَدَّعَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ انْصَرَفَ فَهُوَ خَلِيفَتُهُ عَلَى الْجِنِّ
He (Abu Ja’far-asws) said, ‘It bade farewell to Amir Al-Momineen-asws and left, and it was his-asws caliph upon the Jinn’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَيَأْتِيكَ عَمْرٌو وَ ذَلِكَ الْوَاجِبُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.
I (the narrator) said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Amro comes to you-asws, and that is the Obligation upon him?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’’.[160]
8- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَالِسٌ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ كَأَنَّهُ نَخْلَةٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ وَ قَالَ يُشْبِهُ الْجِنَّ وَ كَلَامَهُمْ فَمَنْ أَنْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَنَا الْهَامُ بْنُ الْهِيمِ بْنِ لَاقِيسَ بْنِ إِبْلِيسَ
It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Umar Bin Yazeed,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘While Rasool-Allah-saww was seated when a tall man came to him-saww as if he was a palm tree. He greeted to him-saww, and he-saww returned the greeting and said: ‘You resemble the Jinn and their speech, so who are you O servant of Allah-azwj?’ He said, ‘I am Al-Ham Bin Al-Heem Bin Al-Aqeys Bin Iblees-la’.
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-Allah-saww said to him: ‘There is nothing between you and Iblees-la except two fathers (generations)’. He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww said: ‘So how many (years) have come to you?’ He said: ‘I have consumer the life of the world except its little. One day Qabeel-la killed Habeel-as 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-Allah-saww said to him: ‘Evil are the way of the old man of long hopes and the. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I have repented’. He-saww said: ‘Upon the hand of whom from the Prophets-as did your repentance flow?’ He said, ‘Upon the hand of Noah-as, and I was with him-as in his-as ship, and I faulted him-as upon his-as supplicating against his-as people until he-as 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 Hud-as in his-as Masjid along with those who believed with him-as. I faulted him-as upon his-as supplicating against his-as people until he-as 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 Ibrahim-as when his-as people almost threw him-as into the fire, and Allah-azwj Made it to be cool and safe unto him-as.
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 Yusuf-as when his-as brothers envied him-as and threw him-as into the well. I took him-as to the bottom of the well and placed him-as with a gently placing. Then I was with him-as in the prison comforting him-as therein, until Allah-azwj Extracted him-as 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 Musa-as and he-as taught me clarification from the Torah and said: ‘When you meet Isa-as, then convey the greetings to him-as from me-as’. I did meet him-as and conveyed the greetings to him-as from Musa-as, and he-as taught me clarification from the Evangel, and he-as said: ‘If you come across Muhammad-saww, then convey the greetings to him-saww from me-as. So, Isa-as, O Muhammad-saww, conveys the greetings unto you-saww’.
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 Prophet-saww said: ‘And upon Isa-as Spirit of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Word, and the entirety of the Prophets-as of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasools-as, 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 us-saww’.
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 Allah-azwj Make you-saww remain for your-saww community and correct them for you-saww, and Grace them the steadfasted-ness for your-saww successor-asws from after you-saww, for the previous communities were rather destroyed due to their disobeying the successors-as, and my need, O Rasool-Allah-saww, is that you-saww 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-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Teach Al-Ham and be kind with him’. Ham said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who is this whom you-saww are giving my responsibility to him-asws, for we the community of Jinn have been Commanded that we do not speak except to a Prophet-as or a successor-as of a Prophet-saww’.
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-Allah-saww said to him: ‘O Ham! Whom did you find to be in the Book as being the successor-as of Adam-as?’ He said, ‘Shees Bin Adam-as’. Whom did you find to be as successor-as of Noah-as?’ He-saww said: ‘Sam Bin Noah-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Hud-as?’ He said, ‘Youhanna Bin Hanan-as, son of an uncle of Hud-as’.
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
He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Ibrahim-as?’ He said, ‘Is’haq Bin Ibrahim-as’. Who was the successor-as of Musa-as’. He said, ‘Yoshua Bin Noun-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Isa-as?’ He said, ‘Shamoun Bin Hamoun Al-Saffa-as’. So, whom do you found in the Book as being the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww?’ He said, ‘He-asws 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-Allah-saww said to him: ‘This is Elia, he-asws is Ali-asws, my-saww successor-asws’. Al-Ham said ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! For him-asws is there a name other than this?’ He-saww said: ‘Yes, it is ‘Hyder’. Why did you ask me-saww about that?’ He said, ‘We found in the Book of the Prophets-as that he-asws is in the Evangel as ‘Haydera’’. He-saww said: ‘It is Hyder’. Ali-asws 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 Ali-asws! O successor-asws of Muhammad-saww! Is it sufficient for me what you-asws have taught me from the Quran?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Ham. A little from the Quran is a lot’. Then Ham stood up to the Prophet-as and bade him-saww farewell and did not return to the Prophet-saww until he-saww passed away’’.[161]
9- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ بِشْرٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: حُمِلَ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَالٌ مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ مَعَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ لَمْ يَزَالا يَتَفَقَّدَانِ الْمَالَ حَتَّى مَرَّا بِالرَّيِّ فَرَفَعَ إِلَيْهِمَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا كِيساً فِيهِ أَلْفَا دِرْهَمٍ فَجَعَلَا يَتَفَقَّدَانِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ الْكِيسَ حَتَّى دَنَيَا مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim, from Bishr, from Fazalat, form Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,
‘Some wealth from Khurasan was carried over to Abu Abdullah-asws along with two men from his-asws 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, ‘Allah-azwj is the Supporter! What shall we say now to Abu Abdullah-asws?’ One of them said, ‘He-asws is benevolent, and I hope that he-asws would have the knowledge of what we would be saying in his-asws presence’.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلَا الْمَدِينَةَ قَصَدَا إِلَيْهِ فَسَلَّمَا إِلَيْهِ الْمَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا أَيْنَ كِيسُ الرَّازِيِّ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِالْقِصَّةِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا إِنْ رَأَيْتُمَا الْكِيسَ تَعْرِفَانِهِ قَالا نَعَمْ
When they entered Al-Medina, they aimed to him-asws, and submitted the wealth to him-asws. He-asws said to them: ‘Where is the bag of Al-Razy?’ They informed him-asws the story. He-asws said to them: ‘If you were to see the bag, will you recognise it?’ They said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ يَا جَارِيَةُ عَلَيَّ بِكِيسِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَأَخْرَجَتِ الْكِيسَ فَرَفَعَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِلَيْهِمَا فَقَالَ أَ تَعْرِفَانِهِ قَالا هُوَ ذَاكَ قَالَ إِنِّي احْتَجْتُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى مَالٍ فَوَجَّهْتُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْجِنِّ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَأَتَانِي بِهَذَا الْكِيسِ مِنْ مَتَاعِكُمَا.
He-asws said: ‘O maid! To me-asws with such and such bag!’ She brought out the bag and Abu Abdullah-asws raised it to them and said: ‘Do you recognise it?’ They said, ‘That is it!’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws was needy to wealth in the middle of the night so I-asws diverted a man from the Jinn from our-asws Shias and he came to me with this bag from your luggage’’.[162]
10- حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع أُرِيدُ الْإِذْنَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَوَاحِلُ عَلَى الْبَابِ مَصْفُوفَةٌ وَ إِذَا أَصْوَاتٌ قَدِ ارْتَفَعَتْ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيَّ قَوْمٌ مُعْتَمُّونَ بِالْعَمَائِمِ يُشْبِهُونَ الزُّطَّ
It is narrated to us by Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abdullah, from Ibn Fazzal, from one of our companions, from Sa’ad Al Iskaf who said,
‘I came to Abu Ja’far-asws wanting the permission to see him-asws, and there were saddlebags at the door in rows, and there were voices which had been raised. Then a group came out to us turbaned with turbans, resembling the generation of one people (similar looking).
قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَبْطَأَ إِذْنُكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ قَوْماً خَرَجُوا عَلَيَّ مُعْتَمِّينَ بِالْعَمَائِمِ فَأَنْكَرْتُهُمْ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws and said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Your-asws permission was delayed and I saw a group coming out to me, turbaned with turbans, and I dislike them’.
فَقَالَ أَ وَ تَدْرِي مَنْ أُولَئِكَ يَا سَعْدُ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ أُولَئِكَ إِخْوَانُكَ مِنَ الْجِنِّ يَأْتُونَنَا يَسْأَلُونَنَا عَنْ حَلَالِهِمْ وَ حَرَامِهِمْ وَ مَعَالِمِ دِينِهِمْ.
He-asws said: ‘And do you know who they are, O Sa’ad!’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘They are your brethren from the Jinn. They came to us-asws to ask us-asws about their Permissible(s) and their Prohibitions, and matters of their Religion’’.[163]
11- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ عَنْ عَمَّارٍ السِّجِسْتَانِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ لَا أَسْتَأْذِنُ عَلَيْهِ يَعْنِي أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَجِئْتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ أَوْ لَيْلَةٍ فَجَلَسْتُ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ بِمِنًى قَالَ فَاسْتُؤْذِنَ لِشَبَابٍ كَأَنَّهُمْ رِجَالُ الزُّطِّ فَخَرَجَ عِيسَى شَلَقَانَ فَذَكَرْنَا لَهُ فَأَذِنَ لِي
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from Ammar Al Sijistany who said,
‘I did not used to seek permission to see him-asws, meaning Abu Abdullah-asws. One day I came to him-asws, or night, and sat in his-asws tent at Mina (during Hajj). He-asws granted permission to some youths as if they were men resembling the generation of one people (similar looking). Isa Shalqan came out and we mentioned to him, and he got the permission for me.
قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا بَا عَاصِمٍ مَتَى جِئْتَ قُلْتُ قَبْلَ أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ دَخَلُوا عَلَيْكَ وَ مَا رَأَيْتُهُمْ خَرَجُوا قَالَ أُولَئِكَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْجِنِّ فَسَأَلُوا عَنْ مَسَائِلِهِمْ ثُمَّ ذَهَبُوا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘O Aasim! When did you come?’ I said, ‘Before them, those who had entered to see you-asws, and I did not see them come out’. He-asws said: ‘They are a group of the Jinn. They asked about their issues, then they went’’.[164]
12- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَنَا عِنْدَهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ إِذْ قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص رَجُلٌ شِبْهُ النَّخْلَةِ طَوِيلٌ ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ بِحَدِيثٍ اسْمُهُ هَامَةُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِعَلِيٍّ عَلِّمْهُ وَ ارْفُقْ بِهِ
It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Amro Bin Usman Al Khazaz, from Umar Bin Yazeed,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I was in his-asws presence on the day when he-asws said: ‘A man came to Rasool-Allah-saww, resembling the palm tree in tallness, then narrated a narration, his name was Hamah. Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘Teach him and be kind with him’.
فَقَالَ هَامَةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي أَمَرْتَهُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي وَ نَحْنُ مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ أُمِرْنَا أَنْ لَا نُطِيعَ إِلَّا نَبِيّاً أَوْ وَصِيَّ نَبِيٍّ
Hamah said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Who is this one whom you-saww instructed to teach me, and we are a community of the Jinn. Our affair is that we do not obey except a Prophet-as or a successor-as of a Prophet-as?’
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا هَامَةُ مَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ آدَمَ قَالَ شَيْثُ بْنُ آدَمَ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ نُوحٍ قَالَ ذَلِكَ سَامُ بْنُ نُوحٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ هُودٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ يَاسِرُ بْنُ هُودٍ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘O Hamah! Who do you find as being a successor-as of Adam-as?’ He said, ‘Shees Bin Adam-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who do you find as being a successor-as of Noah-as?’ He said, ‘That is Saam Bin Noah-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who do you find as being the successor-as of Hud-as?’ He said, ‘That is Yasir Bin Hud-as’.
قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ ذَاكَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ مُوسَى قَالَ ذَاكَ يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ عِيسَى قَالَ شَمْعُونُ بْنُ حَمُّونَ الصَّفَا ابْنُ عَمِّ مَرْيَمَ
He-saww said: ‘Who do you find being the successor-as of Ibrahim-as?’ He said, ‘Is’haq Bin Ibrahim-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who do you find as being the successor-as of Musa-as?’ He said: ‘That is Yoshua-as Bin Noun-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who do you find being the successor-as of Isa-as?’ He said, ‘Shamoun Bin Hamoun Al Saffa-as, son-as of an uncle of Maryam-as’.
قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَا هَامُ وَ لِمَ كَانُوا هَؤُلَاءِ أَوْصِيَاءَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَزْهَدَ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرْغَبَ النَّاسِ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘O Haam! And why were they successors-as of the Prophets-as?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Because they were the most ascetic of the people in the world, and the most desirous of the people to Allah-azwj regarding the Hereafter’.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ هَامُ ذَاكَ إِلْيَا ابْنُ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَقَالَ هُوَ عَلِيٌّ وَ هُوَ وَصِيِّي وَ أَخِي وَ هُوَ أَزْهَدُ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرْغَبُهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘Who do you find as being the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww?’ Haam said to him-saww, ‘That is Elia, son-asws of an uncle-as of Muhammad-saww’. He-saww said: ‘It is Ali-asws, and he-asws is my-saww successor-asws, and my-saww brother-asws, and he-asws is the most ascetic of the people regarding the world, and the most desirous of them regarding the Hereafter’.
فَسَلَّمَ هَامٌ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ تَعَلَّمَ مِنْهُ سُوَراً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَخْبِرْنِي بِهَذِهِ السُّوَرِ أُصَلِّي بِهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا هَامُ قَلِيلُ الْقُرْآنِ كَثِيرٌ
Haam greeted unto Amir Al-Momineen-asws and learnt a Chapter (from the Quran) from him-asws. Then he said, ‘O Ali-asws! Inform me of this Chapter, can I pray Salat with it?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Haam! A little of the Quran is a lot’.
فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ انْصَرَفَ وَ لَمْ يُرَ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى قُبِضَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْهَرِيرِ أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي حَرْبِهِ فَقَالَ يَا وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا فِي كُتُبِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ الْأَصْلَعَ وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ اكْشِفْ رَأْسَكَ فَكَشَفَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ مِغْفَرَهُ قَالَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ ذَلِكَ يَا هَامُ.
He greeted unto Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali Amir Al-Momineen-asws and left, and was not seen after Rasool-Allah-saww until he-saww passed away. When it was the day of Al-Hareer (battle of Siffeen), he came to Amir Al-Momineen-asws during his-asws battle, and said, ‘O successor-asws of Muhammad-saww! We find in the Books of the Prophets-as that the short-haired successor-asws of Muhammad-saww is the best of the people. Uncover your-asws head!’ He-asws removed the helmet from his-asws head. He-asws said: ‘I-asws, by Allah-azwj, am that one, O Haam!’’[165]
13- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: بَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَيْنَ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ إِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَى عُكَّازَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص لُغَةُ جِنِّيٍّ وَ وَطْؤُهُمْ مِنْ جِبَالِ تِهَامَةَ وَ قَالَ مَنِ الرَّجُلُ قَالَ هَامَةُ بْنُ هِيمِ بْنِ لَاقِيسَ السَّلِيمِ بْنِ إِبْلِيسَ قَالَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ إِبْلِيسَ غَيْرُ أَبَوَيْنِ قَالَ لَا
It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Amro Bin Usman, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from a man,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘While Rasool-Allah-saww was between (mount) Tahama, there was a man upon a crutch. The Prophet-saww said to him in a language of the Jinn, and their treading down from mount Tahama, and said: ‘Who is the man?’ He said, ‘(I am) Haama Bin Heem Bin Al-Qays son of Iblees-la’. He-saww said: ‘There aren’t between you and Iblees-la other than two fathers (generations)’. He said, ‘No’.
قَالَ أَكَلْتُ عُمُرَ الدُّنْيَا قَالَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ كَمْ أَتَى عَلَيْكَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَيَّامَ قَتْلِ قَابِيلَ هَابِيلَ أَخَاهُ غُلَاماً أَعْلُو الْآكَامَ وَ أَنْهَى عَنْ الِاعْتِصَامِ وَ آمُرُ بِفَسَادِ الطَّعَامِ
He said, ‘I have consumed the age of the world’. He-saww said:’ Upon that, how many (years) have come upon you?’ He said, ‘I was a young boy on the day Qabeel-la killed Habeel-as, his-la brother-as. I piled up the stones and forbade from seeking the refuge, and instructed with spoiling the foodstuff’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ [بِئْسَ] لَعَمْرُ اللَّهِ عَمَلُ الشَّيْخِ الْمُتَوَسِّمِ وَ الشَّابِّ الْمُؤَمِّلِ فَقَالَ دَعْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ عَنْكَ اللَّوْمَ وَ الْهَتْكَ فَقَدْ جِئْتُكَ تَائِباً وَ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Evil is the age (Given by) Allah-azwj, you did the world of the old and the hopeful youth’. He said, (Please) ‘Leave it from you-saww, O Muhammad-saww, and the exposing. I have come to you-saww repentant, and I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from being from the ignorant ones.
وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ لَمْ أَزَلْ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أُلْقِيَ فِي النَّارِ وَ قَالَ لِي إِنْ لَقِيتَ عِيسَى فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ
And I have been with Ibrahim-as and did not cease to be with him-as until he-as was thrown into the fire and he-as said to me: ‘If you meet Isa-as, then convey the greeting from me-as’.
وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَ عِيسَى وَ قَالَ لِي إِنْ لَقِيتَ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَ قَالَ لِي إِنْ لَقِيتَ مُحَمَّداً وَ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ عَلَّمَنِي الْإِنْجِيلَ
And I have been with Isa-as, and he-as said to me: ‘If you meet Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and the entirety of His-azwj Prophets-as and His-azwj Rasools-as, then convey to him-saww the greetings from me-as’, and he-as taught me the Evangel’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَى عِيسَى السَّلَامُ مَا دَامَتِ الدُّنْيَا وَ عَلَيْكَ يَا هَامَةُ بِمَا أَدَّيْتَ الْأَمَانَةَ هَاتِ حَاجَتَكَ قَالَ عَلِّمْنِي مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And upon Isa-as be the greetings for as long that world exists, and upon you O Haama, due to what you delivered of the entrustment. Give your need’. He said, ‘Teach me from the Quran’.
قَالَ فَأَمَرَ عَلِيّاً أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ هَذَا الَّذِي أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ مِنْهُ
He (Abu Abdullah-asws) said, ‘He-saww instructed Ali-asws to teach him. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who is this one whom you-saww are instructing me than I learn from him-asws?’
قَالَ يَا هَامَةُ مَنْ كَانَ وَصِيَّ آدَمَ قَالَ كَانَ شَيْثٌ قَالَ مَنْ كَانَ وَصِيَّ نُوحٍ قَالَ كَانَ سَامٌ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ هُودٍ قَالَ ذَاكَ يَاسِرُ بْنِ هُودٍ قَالَ فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ عِيسَى قَالَ شَمْعُونُ بْنُ حَمُّونَ الصَّفَا ابْنُ عَمِّ مَرْيَمَ
He-saww said: ‘O Haama! Who was the successor-as of Adam-as?’ He said, ‘It was Shees-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who was the successor-as of Noah-as?’ He said, ‘It was Saam-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who do you find as being the successor-as of Hud-as?’ He said, ‘That is Yasser Bin Hud-as’. He-saww said: ‘Who do you find as being the successor-as of Isa-as?’ He said, ‘Shamoun Bin Hamoun Al-Saffa-as, son-as of an uncle of Maryam-as’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَا هَامُ وَ لِمَ كَانُوا هَؤُلَاءِ أَوْصِيَاءَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا أَزْهَدَ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرْغَبَ النَّاسِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
Then Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘O Haam! And why did they-as happen to be the successors-as of the Prophets-as?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Because they-as used to be the most ascetic of the people regarding the world, and the most desirous of the people regarding the Hereafter’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَمَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص قَالَ هَامٌ ذَاكَ إِلْيَا ابْنُ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ ص قَالَ فَهُوَ عَلِيٌّ وَ هُوَ وَصِيِّي وَ هُوَ أَزْهَدُ أُمَّتِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
The Prophet-saww said to him: ‘Who do you find as being the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww?’ Haam said, ‘Elia, son-asws of an uncle-as of Muhammad-saww’. He-saww said: ‘He-asws is Ali-asws, and he-asws is my-saww successor-asws, and he-asws is the most ascetic of my-saww community regarding the world, and the most desirous to Allah-azwj regarding the Hereafter’.
قَالَ فَسَلَّمَ هَامٌ إلى [عَلَى] أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ تَعَلَّمَ مِنْهُ سُوَراً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَخْبِرْنِي بِهَذِهِ السُّوَرِ أُصَلِّي بِهَا قَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ يَا هَامُ قَلِيلُ الْقُرْآنِ كَثِيرٌ
He (Abu Abdullah-asws) said: ‘Haam greeted unto Amir Al-Momineen-asws and learnt a Chapter (from the Quran) from him-asws, then said: ‘O Ali-asws! Inform me of this Chapter, can I pray Salat with it?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Haam! A little of the Quran is a lot’.
فَسَلَّمَ هَامٌ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ انْصَرَفَ فَلَمْ يَلْقَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَتَّى قُبِضَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْهَرِيرِ أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي حَرْبِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّا وَجَدْنَا فِي كُتُبِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَنَّ الْأَصْلَعَ وَصِيَّ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ اكْشِفْ رَأْسَكَ
Haam greeted unto Rasool-Allah-saww and left. Rasool-Allah-saww did not meet him (again) until he-saww passed away. When it was the day of Al-Hareer (battle of Siffeen), he came to Amir Al-Momineen-asws during his-asws battle and said to him-asws, ‘O successor-asws of Muhammad-saww! We find in the Books of the Prophets-as that the short-haired one is the successor-asws of Muhammad-saww, best of the people. Uncover your-asws head’.
فَكَشَفَ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ مِغْفَرَهُ وَ قَالَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ ذَاكَ يَا هَامُ.
He-asws uncovered his-asws helmet from his-asws head and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws am that, O Haam!’’[166]
14- حَدَّثَنَا أُقِيمُ عَلَيْكَ حَتَّى تَشْخَصَ فَقَالَ لَا امْضِ حَتَّى يَقْدُمَ عَلَيْنَا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ سَدِيرٌ فَإِنْ تَهَيَّأَ لَنَا بَعْضُ مَا نُرِيدُ كَتَبْنَا إِلَيْكَ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Abdullah Al Momin, from Abu Haneefa, quencher of the pilgrims, from one of our companions who said,
‘I came to Abu Abdullah-asws and said to him-asws, ‘Shall I stay until you-asws investigate (the matter)?’ He-asws said: ‘No, go until Abu Al-Fazal Sadeyr arrives to us-asws, and if he prepares for us some of what we-asws want, we-asws shall write to you’.
قَالَ فَسِرْتُ يَوْمَيْنِ وَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَأَتَانِي رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ آدَمُ بِكِتَابٍ خَاتَمُهُ رَطْبٌ وَ الْكِتَابُ رَطْبٌ قَالَ فَقَرَأْتُهُ إِنَّ أَبَا الْفَضْلِ قَدْ قَدِمَ عَلَيْنَا وَ نَحْنُ شَاخِصُونَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَأَقِمْ حَتَّى نَأْتِيَكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Two days and nights passed, then a man with a tall stature came with a letter, its seal was wet and the writing was wet. So, I read it: ‘Abu Al-Fazl has arrived to us-asws and we-asws are investigating (the matter) if Allah-azwj so Desires, so wait until we-asws come to you’.
قَالَ فَأَتَانِي فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي الْكِتَابُ رَطْباً وَ الْخَاتَمُ رَطْباً قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لَنَا أَتْبَاعاً مِنَ الْجِنِّ كَمَا أَنَّ لَنَا أَتْبَاعاً مِنَ الْإِنْسِ فَإِذَا أَرَدْنَا أَمْراً بَعَثْنَاهُمْ.
He (The narrator) said, ‘He-asws came to me. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! There came to me a wet (ink) letter and wet seal’. He-asws said: ‘There are followers for us-asws from the Jinn just as for us-asws there are followers for us-asws from the human beings, so whenever we-asws want a matter, we-asws send them’’.[167]
15- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ وَهْبٍ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ خَرَجْتُ وَ أَنَا أُرِيدُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ بِالْعُرَيْضِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ حَتَّى أَشْرَفْتُ عَلَى قَصْرِ بَنِي سُرَاةٍ ثُمَّ انْحَدَرْتُ الْوَادِيَ فَسَمِعْتُ صَوْتاً لَا أَرَى شَخْصَهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ صَاحِبُكَ خَلْفَ الْقَصْرِ عِنْدَ السُّدَّةِ فَأَقْرِئْهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Qasim, from his grandfather, from Yaqoub Bin Ibrahim Al Ja’fary who said, ‘I heard Ibrahim Bin Wahab and he was saying,
‘I went out and I intended Abu Al-Hassan-asws 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 Master-asws is behind the castle by the lote tree, so convey to him-asws the greetings from me’.
فَالْتَفَتُّ فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَداً ثُمَّ رَدَّ عَلَيَّ الصَّوْتَ بِاللَّفْظِ الَّذِي كَانَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً فَاقْشَعَرَّ جِلْدِي ثُمَّ انْحَدَرْتُ فِي الْوَادِي حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ قَصْدَ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي خَلْفَ الْقَصْرِ وَ لَمْ أَطَأْ فِي الْقَصْرِ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُ السَّدَّ نَحْوَ السَّمُرَاتِ
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. I sneaked with my slippers tip-toeing and I heard Abu Al-Hassan-asws clearing his-asws throat. I cleared my throat and answered him-asws. Then I looked and attacked as there was a snake hanging by the base of the tree.
فَقَالَ لَا عَتِيٌّ وَ لَا ضَائِرٌ فَرَمَتْ بِنَفْسِهَا ثُمَّ نَهَضَتْ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْخَلَتْ رَأْسَهَا فِي أُذُنِهِ فَأَكْثَرَتْ مِنَ الصَّفِيرِ فَأَجَابَ بَلَى قَدْ فَصَلْتُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ لَا يَبْغِي خِلَافَ مَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا ظَالِمٌ وَ مَنْ ظَلَمَ فِي دُنْيَاهُ فَلَهُ عَذَابُ النَّارِ فِي آخِرَتِهِ مَعَ عِقَابٍ شَدِيدٍ أُعَاقِبُهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ آخُذُ مَالًا إِنْ كَانَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَتُوبَ
He-asws said: ‘Neither be ferocious nor harm. It threw itself then it got up in its place. Then it inserted its head into his-asws ears and frequented from the hissing. He-asws answered: ‘Yes, I-asws have decided between you all and none would rebel against what I-asws am saying except an unjust one, and one who is unjust in his world, for him would be punishment of the Fire in his Hereafter with severe torment. I-asws will punish himand seize his wealth, if there was any for him, until he repents’.
فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَ لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ طَاعَةٌ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَ مُحَمَّداً ص بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ أَعَزَّ عَلِيّاً ع بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَ الْوَلَايَةِ إِنَّهُمْ لَأَطْوَعُ لَنَا مِنْكُمْ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْإِنْسِ وَ قَلِيلٌ ما هُمْ.
I said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you-asws! Is there obedience to you-asws upon them?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, by the One-azwj Who Honoured Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood and Endeared Ali-asws with the successorship-asws and the Wilayah! They are more obedient to us-asws than you are, O community of human beings, and they are few!’’[168]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘For Allah-azwj there are two (types of) Knowledge. A Knowledge hidden, treasured, none know it except He-azwj. From that, the Change of Decision occurs; and there is a Knowledge He-azwj Teaches His-azwj Angels and His-azwj Rasools-as, and His-azwj Prophets-as, and we-asws know it’’.[197]

It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Zureys,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘For Allah-azwj there are two (types of) Knowledge – a Knowledge Granted and a Knowledge Withheld. As for the Granted, there is nothing from it He-azwj has Notified the Angels and the Rasools-as except and we-asws know it; and as for the Withheld, it is which is with Him-azwj in the Mother of the Book. When it emerges, it is implemented’’.[198]

It is narrated to me by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Ahwazy, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Said to His-azwj Prophet-saww: So turn away from them, for you are not with a blame [51:54]. Allah-azwj Intended to Punish the inhabitants of the Earth, then Allah-azwj Adopted a more kind Approach and Sent down the Mercy, therefore He-azwj Said: And continue to remind – O Muhammad-saww, for surely the Zikr benefits the Momineen [51:55].
فَرَجَعْتُ مِنْ قَابِلٍ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي حَدَّثْتُ أَصْحَابَنَا فَقَالُوا بَدَا لِلَّهِ مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي عِلْمِهِ
I returned to the subject. I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, I narrated to our companions, they said, ‘It seems that it was not in Allah-azwj’s Knowledge’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عِلْمَيْنِ عِلْمٌ عِنْدَهُ لَمْ يُطْلِعْ عَلَيْهِ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ عِلْمٌ نَبَذَهُ إِلَى مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ فَمَا نَبَذَهُ إِلَى مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ فَقَدِ انْتَهَى إِلَيْنَا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The Knowledge of Allah-azwj is of two types – a Knowledge which is with Him-azwj and none from the creation gets it, and a knowledge He-azwj has Given to His-azwj Angels and His-azwj Rasools-as . He-azwj did not Give it to them but it reached to us-asws’’.[199]

وَ لَهُ عِلْمٌ قَدْ أَطْلَعَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ فَمَا أَطْلَعَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَتَهُ فَقَدْ أَطْلَعَ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَهُ وَ مَا أَطْلَعَ عَلَيْهِ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَهُ فَقَدْ أَطْلَعَنِي عَلَيْهِ يَعْلَمُهُ الْكَبِيرُ مِنَّا وَ الصَّغِيرُ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ.
And He-azwj Has a Knowledge which He-azwj has Announced it to His-azwj Angels. Whatever He-azwj Announced it to His-azwj Angels, He-azwj Announced it to Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and whatever that was Announced to Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws was Announced to me-asws, the large and the small from it, up to the Establishment of the Hour (Day of Judgment)’’.[204]

Humran Bin Ayn said to him-asws, ‘What is your-asws view of His-azwj Words: (He is) Knower of the unseen, and He does not Reveal His hidden matters upon anyone [72:26]?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِلَّا مَنِ ارْتَضى مِنْ رَسُولٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَسْلُكُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَداً وَ كَانَ وَ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدٌ ص مِمَّنِ ارْتَضَاهُ وَ أَمَّا قَوْلُهُ عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَالِمٌ بِمَا غَابَ عَنْ خَلْقِهِ بِمَا يُقَدِّرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَ يَقْضِيهِ فِي عِلْمِهِ
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Except one He Chooses from a Rasool [72:27]. And it was so, by Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww was from the ones He-azwj Chose. And as for His-azwj Words [72:26] The Knower of the unseen! So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is a Knower of whatever is unseen from His-azwj creatures with regards to whatever He-azwj Determines from something and Ordains it in His-azwj Knowledge before He-azwj Creates it with what He-azwj had Pre-determined of anything and Decreed it in His-azwj Knowledge’.
فَذَلِكَ يَا حُمْرَانُ عِلْمٌ مَوْقُوفٌ عِنْدَهُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهِ الْمَشِيَّةُ فَيَقْضِيهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ وَ يَبْدُو لَهُ فِيهِ فَلَا يُمْضِيهِ
So that, O Humran, is a Knowledge Paused in His-azwj Presence. To it, with regards to it, is the Desire. So He-azwj Ordains it whenever He-azwj Intends and Originates for it regarding it, and He-azwj Changes His-azwj Decision for it with regards to it, and it is not Ordained.
فَأَمَّا الْعِلْمُ الَّذِي يُقَدِّرُهُ اللَّهُ وَ يَقْضِيهِ وَ يُمْضِيهِ فَهُوَ الْعِلْمُ الَّذِي انْتَهَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا.
As for the knowledge which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Determines, so He-azwj Ordains it, and Accomplishes it. Thus, it is the Knowledge which ended up to Rasool-Allah-saww, then to us-asws’’.
وَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ فَمَا يُقَدِّرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَ يَقْضِيهِ فِي عِلْمِهِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْضِيَهُ إِلَى مَلَائِكَتِهِ فَذَلِكَ يَا حُمْرَانُ عِلْمٌ مَوْقُوفٌ عِنْدَهُ غَيْرُ مَقْضِيٍّ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهِ الْمَشِيَّةُ فَيَقْضِيهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ وَ يَبْدُو لَهُ فِيهِ فَلَا يُمْضِيهِ فَأَمَّا الْعِلْمُ الَّذِي يُقَدِّرُهُ اللَّهُ وَ يُمْضِيهِ فَهُوَ الْعِلْمُ الَّذِي انْتَهَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا.
And it is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, by this chain, and there is an increase in it: ‘So He-azwj does not Pre-determine anything and He-azwj had Decreed it in His-azwj Knowledge that He-azwj will Create it, and before He-azwj Implements it to His-azwj Knowledge. O Humran, that is Knowledge Withheld with Him-azwj, no one knows it apart from Him. In it is the Desire, so He-azwj Decrees it when He-azwj Wants and there could be Change of Decision for Him-azwj in it, so He-azwj does not Decree it. As for the knowledge which Allah-azwj Pre-determines it and Decrees is, it is the knowledge which ended up to Rasool-Allah-saww, then to us-asws.’’ [214]
2- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ وَ زاده [زَادَ] فِيهِ فَمَا يُقَدِّرُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ وَ يَقْضِيهِ فِي عِلْمِهِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ فِي عِلْمِهِ أَنْ يَخْلُقَهُ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ إِلَى مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ ذَلِكَ يَا حُمْرَانُ عِلْمٌ مُقَدَّمٌ مَوْقُوفٌ عِنْدَهُ غَيْرُ مقتضى [مَقْضِيٍ] لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُهُ إِلَيْهِ فِيهِ الْمَشِيَّةُ فَيَقْضِيهِ إِذَا أَرَادَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْحَدِيثِ.
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, by this chain – And there is an increase in it: –
‘Whatever He-azwj Pre-determines of anything and Decrees it in His-azwj Knowledge that He-azwj will Create it, and before He-azwj Decrees it in His-azwj Knowledge that He-azwj will Create it, and before He-azwj Decrees it to His-azwj Angels, and that, O Humran, is preceding Knowledge, paused with Him-azwj, undecreed. No one else Knows it. In it is the Desire. So, He-azwj Decrees it whenever He-azwj Wants’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth’’.
