CHAPTER 1 – REGARDING DESCRIPTION OF RASOOL-ALLAH-saww AND THE IMAMS-asws REGARDING WHAT THEY-asws HAVE BEEN GIVEN FROM THE SIGHT, AND SPECIALISED WITH IT FROM BESIDES THE PEOPLE, WHAT THEY-asws CAN SEE FROM THE DEEDS DURING THE SLEEP AND THE WAKEFULNESS
1- حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَلَّامٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُقَرِّنٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَنَا أَعْيُنٌ لَا تُشْبِهُ أَعْيُنَ النَّاسِ وَ فِيهَا نُورٌ لَيْسَ لِلشَّيْطَانِ فِيهِ شِرْكٌ.
It is narrated to us by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Musa Bin Sallam, from Muhammad Bin Muqareen,

2- حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ نُوحٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع الرَّجُلُ يَكُونُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَكُونُ الصُّفُوفُ مختلف [مُخْتَلِفَةً] فِيهِ النَّاسُ فَأَمِيلُ إِلَيْهِ مَشْياً حَتَّى نُقِيمَهُ قَالَ نَعَمْ لَا بَأْسَ بِهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ لَتُقِيمُنَ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ.
It is narrated to us by Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘The man happens to be in the Masjid and there are various rows wherein are people, so I incline to it walking until I complete it’. He said: ‘Yes, there is no problem with it. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O you people! I-saww can see you from behind me-saww just as I-saww seen you from the front, whether you are completing your rows or you are opposing Allah-azwj between your hearts’’.[4]
3- حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَلَاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّا نُصَلِّي فِي مَسْجٍدِ لَنَا فَرُبَّمَا كَانَ الصَّفُّ أَمَامَنَا وَ فِيهِ انْقِطَاعٌ فَأَمْشِي إِلَيْهِ بِجِانِبِي حَتَّى أُقِيمَهُ
It is narrated to us by Ali Bin Ismail, from Safwan Yahya, from A’la Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘We pray Salat in the Masjid of ours. Sometimes there is a row in front of us and in it is a termination, so I walk to it by my side until I establish (complete) it’.
قَالَ نَعَمْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes. Rasool-Allah-saww had said: ‘I-saww see you all from behind me-saww just as I-saww see you from the front, whether you are establishing your rows or opposing Allah-azwj between your hearts’’.[5]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ لَا تَخْتَلِفُوا فخالف [فَيُخَالِفَ] اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from hammad Bin Usman, from Abdullah Al Halby,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws said that Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Establish your rows, for I see you all from behind me-saww just as I-saww see you from the front, and differ for Allah-azwj would Cause differing between your hearts’’.[6]
5- حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْسُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِسْمَاعِيلَ كَاتِبُ شُرَيْحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَتَّابٍ زِيَادٌ مَوْلَى آلِ دعش عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ خَلَلًا وَ لَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ وَرَاءَكَ إِذَا وَجَدْتَ ضِيقاً فِي الصُّفُوفِ أَنْ تَمْشِيَ فَتُتِمَّ الصَّفَّ الَّذِي خَلْفَكَ أَوْ تَمْشِيَ مُنْحَرِفاً فَتُتِمَّ الصَّفَّ الَّذِي قُدَّامَكَ فَهُوَ خَيْرٌ
It is narrated to us by Al Hassan Bin Ali who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Ubeys Bin Hisham who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Ismail the scribe of Shureyh who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abu Attab Ziyad, a slave of the family of Da’ash,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Establish your rows when you see a vacant space, and it is not upon you that you take to behind you. When you find narrowness in the rows, you should walk to complete the row which is behind you or walk deviating and complete the row which is in front of you, so it is better’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي لَتُقِيمُنَّ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ.
Then he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Establish your rows, for I-saww can look at you from behind me-asws whether you are establishing or opposing Allah-azwj between your hearts’’.[7]
6- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْخَشَّابِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يَوْماً وَ نَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ قُومُوا تَفَرَّقُوا عَنِّي مَثْنَى وَ ثُلَاثَ فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ فَلْيُسِرَّ عَبْدٌ فِي نَفْسِهِ مَا شَاءَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَرِّفُنِيهِ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Musa, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Khashab, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said one day and we in his-asws presence, were a group from the Shias: ‘Arise and disperse from me-asws in two and threes, for I-asws can see you all from behind me-asws just as I-asws see you from my-asws front, so let a soul be at ease within himself for Allah-azwj Introduces him to me-asws’’.[8]
7- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَزِيدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ الْغَنَوِيُّ الْخَزَّازُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: أَقِيمُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ خَلْفِي لَتُقِيمُنَّ صُفُوفَكُمْ أَوْ لَيُخَالِفَنَّ اللَّهُ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Establish your rows for I-saww can look at you from behind me-saww whether you are establishing your rows or opposing Allah-azwj between your hearts’’.[9]
8- حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ النُّعْمَانُ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ الْأَحْمَرِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّا مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ تَنَامُ عُيُونُنَا وَ لَا تَنَامُ قُلُوبُنَا وَ نَرَى مِنْ خَلْفِنَا كَمَا نَرَى مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِينَا.
It is narrated to us by Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Numan, from Yahya Bin Umar, from Aban Al Ahmar, from Zurara,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘We-asws, community of the Prophets-as, our-as eyes sleep and our-as hearts do not sleep, and we-as can see from behind us-as just as we-as see in front of us-as’’.[10]
9- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مَيْمُونٍ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: طَلَبَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ فِي حَائِطِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَمَضَى يَطْلُبُهُ فَدَخَلَ إِلَى الْحَائِطِ وَ النَّبِيُّ نَائِمٌ فَأَخَذَ عَسِيباً يَابِساً وَ كَسَرَهُ لِيَسْتَبْرِئَ بِهِ نَوْمَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from maymoun Al Qaddah,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Abu Zarr-ra searched for Rasool-Allah-saww. It was said to him-ra that he-saww was in such and such a garden. He-ra went seeking him-saww and entered into the garden, and the Prophet-saww was asleep. He-ra took a dry twig in order to gently break the sleep of Rasool-Allah-saww.
قَالَ فَفَتَحَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَيْنَهُ وَ قَالَ أَ تَخْدَعُنِي عَنْ نَفْسِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي أَرَاكُمْ فِي مَنَامِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ فِي يَقَظَتِي.
He (the narrator) said, ‘The Prophet-saww opened his-saww eyes and said: ‘Are you-ra deceiving me-as from myself-saww, O Abu Zarr-ra? Don’t you-ra know that I-saww can see you all during my-saww sleep just as I-saww see you during my-saww wakefulness’’.[11]
10- وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ طَلَبَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ فِي حَائِطِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَتَوَجَّهَ فِي طَلَبِهِ فَوَجَدَهُ نَائِماً فَأَعْظَمَهُ أَنْ يَنْتَبِهَهُ فَأَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَبْرِيَ نَوْمَهُ
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Zayd al Shaham who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Abu Zarr-ra searched for Rasool-Allah-saww. It was said to him-ra that he-saww was in such and such garden. He-ra headed there in seeking him-saww and found him-saww asleep. He-ra considered it grievous that he-ra should awaken him-saww. He-saww intended to gently remove his-saww sleep.
فَسَمِعَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَ تَخْدَعُنِي أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنِّي أَرَى أَعْمَالَكُمْ فِي مَنَامِي كَمَا أَرَاكُمْ فِي يَقَظَتِي إِنَّ عَيْنِي تَنَامُ وَ قَلْبِي لَا يَنَامُ.
Rasool-Allah-saww heard him-ra, and raised his-saww head. He-saww said: ‘Are you-ra deceiving me-saww? Don’t you know that I-saww can see your-ra deeds during my-saww sleep just as I-saww see them during my-saww wakefulness. My-saww eyes sleep and my-saww heart does not sleep’’.[12]
11- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَكِّيِّ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ سَوَادَةَ أَبِي يَعْلَى عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ قَالَ: قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِلْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَهُ هَلْ تَرَى مَا أَرَى فَقَالَ كَيْفَ أَرَى مَا تَرَى وَ قَالَ نُورُ اللَّهِ لَكَ وَ أَعْطَاكَ مَا لَمْ يُعْطِ أَحَداً
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abdullah Bin Al Hajjal, from Abu Abdullah Al Makky Al Haza’a, from Sawadah Abu Ya’la, from one of his men who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to Al-Haris Al-Awr, and he was in his-asws presence: ‘Can you see what I-asws can see?’ He said, ‘How can I see what you-asws see?’ And said, ‘The Noor of Allah-azwj is for you-asws and has Given you what He-azwj did not Give anyone’.
قَالَ هَذَا فُلَانٌ الْأَوَّلُ عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ مِنْ تُرَعِ النَّارِ يَقُولُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي لَا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ
He-asws said: ‘So and so the first (Abu Bakr) is upon an edge from the edges of the Fire saying, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan-asws! Seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj for me!’ May Allah-azwj not Forgive him’.
قَالَ فَمَكَثَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا حَارِثُ هَلْ تَرَى مَا أَرَى فَقَالَ وَ كَيْفَ أَرَى مَا تَرَى وَ قَدْ نُوَّرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَ أَعْطَاكَ مَا لَمْ يُعْطِ [أَحَداً]
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws waited for a while, then said: ‘O Haris! Can you see what I-asws see?’ He said, ‘And how can I see what you-asws see and Noor of Allah-azwj is for you-asws, and He-azwj has Given you-asws what He-azwj did not Give to anyone’.
قَالَ هَذَا فُلَانٌ الثَّانِي عَلَى تُرْعَةٍ مِنْ تُرَعِ النَّارِ يَقُولُ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي لَا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ.
He-asws said: ‘This is so and so, the second (Umar) upon an edge from the edges of the Fire saying, ‘O Abu Al-Hassan-asws! Seek Forgiveness for me!’ May Allah-azwj not Forgive him’’.[13]
12- حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع الْإِمَامُ مِنَّا يَنْظُرُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ كَمَا يَنْظُرُ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ.
It is narrated to us by Salama Bin Al Khattab, from Suleyman Bin Sama’at Al Haza’a, and Abdullah Bin Muhammad, altogether from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abu Al Jaroud who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Imam-asws from us-asws looks from his-asws behind just as he-asws looks from his-asws front’’.[14]
13 ابْنُ عِيسَى وَ ابْنُ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ مَعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنِ الْكُنَاسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ قَالَ: لَمَّا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْغَارِ وَ مَعَهُ أَبُو الْفَصِيلِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ الْآنَ إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَصْحَابِهِ السَّاعَةَ تَعُومُ بِهِمْ سَفِينَتُهُمْ فِي الْبَحْرِ إِنِّي لَأَنْظُرُ إِلَى رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ مُحْتَبِينَ بِأَفْنِيَتِهِمْ
Ibn Isa and Ibn Abu Al Khatab both together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Raib, from Al Kunasy,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww was in the cave and Abu Al-Faseyl was with him-saww, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘At the moment I-saww am looking at Ja’far-asws and his-asws companions, the ship is swaying with them in the sea. I-saww am looking at a group of the Helpers in their gathering trapped by their anonymity’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْفَصِيلِ أَ تَرَاهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ السَّاعَةَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَرِنِيهِمْ قَالَ فَمَسَحَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْظُرْ فَنَظَرَ فَرَآهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ رَأَيْتَهُمْ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ أَسَرَّ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنَّهُ سَاحِرٌ.
Abu Al-Faseyl said to him-saww, ‘And you-saww can see them now, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-saww said: ‘Yes’. So, Rasool-Allah-saww wiped upon his eyes then said: ‘Look!’ He looked and saw them. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Do you see them?’ He said, ‘Yes’, and kept a secret within himself that he-saww is a sorcerer’’. (P.s. – Abu Al-Fazeyl is Abu Bakr)’’.[15]
14- حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ نَجِيحٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ سَمَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَبَا بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقَ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ
It is narrated to us by Musa Bin Umar, from Usman Bin Isa, from Khalid Bin Najeeh who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Rasool-Allah-saww named Abu Bakr as ‘Al-Siddique’?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘How come?’
قَالَ حِينَ كَانَ مَعَهُ فِي الْغَارِ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنِّي لَأَرَى سَفِينَةَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ تَضْطَرِبُ فِي الْبَحْرِ ضَالَّةً قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّكَ لَتَرَاهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَتَقْدِرُ أَنْ تُرِيَنِيهَا قَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي

And you can see it?’ He-saww said: ‘Yes’. He said, ‘Are you-saww able to show it to me?’ He-saww said: ‘Come near me-saww’.
قَالَ فَدَنَا مِنْهُ فَمَسَحَ عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْظُرْ فَنَظَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَأَى السَّفِينَةَ وَ هِيَ تَضْطَرِبُ فِي الْبَحْرِ ثُمَّ نَظَرَ إِلَى قُصُورِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ فِي نَفْسِهِ الْآنَ صَدَّقْتُ أَنَّكَ سَاحِرٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الصِّدِّيقُ أَنْتَ.
He-asws said: ‘He went near him-saww, and he-saww wiped his-saww hand upon his eyes, then said: ‘Look!’ Abu Bakr looked and saw the ship and it was swaying in the sea, then he looked at castles of the people of Medina. He said within himself, ‘Now I can confirm you-saww are a sorcerer’. So, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘You are being truthful ‘Al-Siddique’’.[16]

فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَكُمْ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَأَى فِيهَا مَعْصِيَةَ اللَّهِ سَاءَهُ فَلَا تَسُوءُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ سُرُّوهُ.
He-asws said: ‘Are you not knowing that your deeds get presented to him-saww? When he-saww sees in these an act of disobedience to Allah-azwj, it saddens him-saww, so do not sadden Rasool-Allah-saww, and cheer him-saww (instead)’’.[39]

CHAPTER 7 – REGARDING THE IMAMS-asws, THE DEEDS ARE PRESENTED TO THEM-asws DURING THE MATTER OF THE PILLAR (OF LIGHT) WHICH IS RAISED FOR THE IMAMS-asws, AND WHAT IS DONE WITH THEM-asws IN THE BELLIES OF THEIR-asws MOTHERS-asws
1- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْإِمَامَ أَنْزَلَ قَطْرَةً مِنْ مَاءِ الْمُزْنِ فَيَقَعُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَجَرَةٍ فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ يُوَاقِعُ فَيَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ الْإِمَامَ فَيَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Abu Dawood Al Mustariq, from Muhammad Bin Marwan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘When Allah-azwj Wants to Create the Imam-asws, Sends down a drop from the water of a rain-cloud and it falls upon every tree that he-asws (father-asws of the Imam-asws) would eat from. Then he-asws (the father-asws) approaches (his-asws wife), and Allah-azwj Creates the Imam-asws from it, and he-asws hears the voice from his-asws mother-as.
فَإِذَا وَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رُفِعَ لَهُ مَنَارٌ مِنْ نُورٍ يَرَى أَعْمَالَ الْعِبَادِ فَإِذَا تَرَعْرَعَ كُتِبَ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ.
So, when he-asws falls upon the ground, a minaret of light is raised for him-asws (and) he-asws sees the deeds of the servants. When he-asws grows, it is inscribed upon his-asws right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115]’’.[62]
2- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِذَا دَخَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ مَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ فَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا هِيَ وَضَعَتْهُ سَطَعَ لَهَا نُورٌ سَاطِعٌ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ سَقَطَ وَ فِي عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ مَكْتُوبٌ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muhammad Bin Marwan who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Whenever one of you enter to see the Imam-asws, then let him consider what he speaks with, for the Imam-asws hears the speech while still in the lap of his-asws mother-as. When she-as places him, a light shines for her-as spreading to the sky and he-asws falls, and in his-asws right upper arm is inscribed: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].
فَإِذَا هُوَ تَكَلَّمَ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَمُوداً يُشْرِفُ بِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ بِهِ أَعْمَالَهُمْ.
When he-asws speaks, Allah-azwj Raises a pillar (of light) for him-asws, he-asws overlooks upon the people of the earth to know their deeds by it’’.[63]
3- حَدَّثَنَا صائر الدرجات أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ سَيْفِ بْنِ عَمِيرَةَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْإِمَامُ يَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا سَقَطَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كُتِبَ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
It is narrated to us by From Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The Imam-asws hears the voice while within the lap of his-asws mother-as. When he-asws falls to the ground, it is inscribed upon the right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].
فَإِذَا تَرَعْرَعَ نَصَبَ لَهُ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَرَى بِهِ أَعْمَالَ الْعِبَادِ.
When he-asws grows, a pillar of light is established for him-asws, from the sky to the earth. He-asws sees the deeds of the servants by it’’.[64]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ الْهَمَدَانِيِّ وَ غَيْرِهِ رَوَاهُ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَقْبِضَ رُوحَ إِمَامٍ وَ يَخْلُقَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِمَاماً أَنْزَلَ قَطْرَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَيُلْقِيهَا عَلَى ثَمَرَةٍ أَوْ عَلَى بَقْلَةٍ فَيَأْكُلُ تِلْكَ الثَّمَرَةَ أَوْ تِلْكَ الْبَقْلَةَ الْإِمَامُ الَّذِي يَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ نُطْفَةَ الْإِمَامِ الَّذِي يَقُومُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Salih Bin Sahl Al Hamdany and others, reporting from Yunus Bin Zabyan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj Wants to capture (the soul of) an Imam-asws and Created an Imam-asws to be from after him-asws, Sends down a drop of water beneath the Throne, to the earth, and it falls either upon a fruit or upon a vegetable. So, he-asws earths that fruit, or that vegetable, the Imam-asws from whom Allah-azwj would be Creating the seed’.
قَالَ فَيَخْلُقُ اللَّهُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْقَطْرَةِ نُطْفَةً فِي الصُّلْبِ ثُمَّ يَصِيرُ إِلَى الرَّحِمِ فَيَمْكُثُ فِيهَا أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً فَإِذَا مَضَى لَهُ أَرْبَعُونَ لَيْلَةً سَمِعَ الصَّوْتَ فَإِذَا مَضَى لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ كُتِبَ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
He-asws said: ‘So, Allah-azwj Creates a seed from that drop in the Sulb, then it comes to be in the womb, and it stays in it for forty nights. When forty nights pass by for him-asws, he-asws hears the voice. When forty days pass by for him-as, it is inscribed upon the right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].
فَإِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ أُوتِيَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ زُيِّنَ بِالْعِلْمِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ أُلْبِسَ الْهَيْبَةَ وَ جُعِلَ لَهُ مِصْبَاحٌ مِنْ نُورٍ يَعْرِفُ بِهِ الضَّمِيرَ وَ يَرَى بِهِ أَعْمَالَ الْعِبَادِ.
When he-asws comes out to the earth, he-asws is Given the wisdom and adorned with the knowledge and the dignity, and is clothed the prestige, and a lantern of light is made to be for him-asws he-asws recognises by it the consciences and sees by it the deeds of the servants’’.[65]
5- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْإِمَامَ أَمَرَ مَلَكاً أَنْ يَأْخُذَ شَرْبَةً مِنْ مَاءٍ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ فَيَسْقِيَهَا إِيَّاهُ فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ يَخْلُقُ الْإِمَامَ وَ يَمْكُثُ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً وَ لَيْلَةً فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ لَا يَسْمَعُ الصَّوْتَ ثُمَّ يَسْمَعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْكَلَامَ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayb, from Musa Bin Sa’dan, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Al Hassan Bin Rashid who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted, when He-azwj Loves to Create the Imam-asws, Commands an Angel to take a drink from water beneath the Throne and quench it to him-asws (father-asws). So, from that, the Imam-asws is Created, and he-asws remain forty days and night in the lap of his-asws mother-as, nor hearing the voice. Then after that, he-asws hears the speech.
فَإِذَا وُلِدَ بَعَثَ ذَلِكَ الْمَلَكَ فَيَكْتُبُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ فَإِذَا مَضَى الْإِمَامُ الَّذِي كَانَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ رَفَعَ لِهَذَا مَنَاراً مِنْ نُورٍ يَنْظُرُ بِهِ إِلَى أَعْمَالِ الْخَلَائِقِ فَبِهَذَا يَحْتَجُّ اللَّهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ.
When he-asws is born, He-azwj Sends that Angel and he write between his-asws eyes: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115]. When he-asws passes away, the Imam-asws who was from before him-asws, a minaret of light is raised for this one-asws. He-asws looks by it at the deeds of the people. It is by this that Allah-azwj would be Arguing with against His-azwj creatures’’.[66]
6- حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ بْنُ أَبِي مَسْرُوقٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْإِمَامَ مِنَّا يَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا وَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مَلَكاً فَكَتَبَ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثُمَّ يُرْفَعُ لَهُ عَمُودٌ مِنْ نُورٍ يَرَى بِهِ أَعْمَالَ الْعِبَادِ.
It is narrated to us by Al Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq, from Muhammad Bin Fuzayl, from Muhammad Bin Marwan who said,
‘The Imam-asws from us-asws hears the speech while in the lap of his-asws mother-as. When he-asws falls upon the ground, Allah-azwj Sends an Angel and he write upon his-asws upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115]. Then a pillar of light is raised for him-asws. He-asws sees by it the deeds of the servants’’.[67]

When he-asws stays in the lap of his-asws mother-as for forty days, he-asws hears the voice. When four months are completed for him-asws, a writing appears upon his-asws right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].

Then he-asws said: ‘O Yunus! The Imam-asws, Allah-azwj Created him-asws by His-azwj Hands, not followed by anyone other than him-asws, and He-azwj Makes him-asws hear and see in the belly of his-asws mother-as until when he-asws come to the ground, Inscribes on his shoulder: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, [6:115] – the Verse’’.[88]
4- حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا اسْتَقَرَّتْ نُطْفَةُ الْإِمَامِ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً نَصَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا تَمَّ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ حَيَوَانُ فَيَكْتُبُ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ.
It is narrated to us by Abbad Bin Suleyman, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from his father,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When the seed of the Imam-asws settles in the womb for forty nights, Allah-azwj Establishes a pillar of light for him-asws in the lap of his-asws mother-as. When four months are complete for him-asws in the lap of his-asws mother-as, an Angel called Haywaan comes to him-asws and writes upon his-asws right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115]’’.[89]
5- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ ظَبْيَانَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ الْإِمَامَ مِنَ الْإِمَامِ بَعَثَ مَلَكاً فَأَخَذَ شَرْبَةً مِنْ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ ثُمَّ أَوْصَلَهَا أَوْ دَفَعَهَا إِلَى الْإِمَامِ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْماً لَا يَسْمَعُ الْكَلَامَ ثُمَّ يَسْمَعُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Yunus Bin Zabyan,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘When Allah-azwj Wants to Create the Imam-asws from the Imam-asws, Sends an Angel who takes a drink from beneath the Throne, then arrives with it or hands it over to the Imam-asws. He-asws remains in the womb not hearing the speech, then he-asws hears after that.
فَإِذَا وَضَعَتْهُ أُمُّهُ بَعَثَ ذَلِكَ الْمَلَكَ الَّذِي كَانَ أَخَذَ الشَّرْبَةَ وَ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ.
When his-asws mother-as places him-asws, Allah-azwj Sends that Angel who had taken the drink, and he writes upon his-asws write shoulder: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115]’’.[90]
12 باب الفصل الذي فيه الأحاديث النوادر مما يفعل بالأئمة من الأبواب التي فيها ذكر العمود و النور و غير ذلك
CHAPTER 12 – THE DETAIL WHICH IS IN THE RARE AHADEETH FROM WHAT IS DONE WITH THE IMAMS-asws FROM THE CHAPTERS IN WHICH IS THE MENTION OF THE PILLARS, AND THE NOOR, AND OTHER THAN THAT
1- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ أَوْ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْجَرِيرِيِّ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ حَجَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَلَائِقِ طَرَفُهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ طَرَفُهُ الْآخَرُ فِي أُذُنِ الْإِمَامِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ شَيْئاً أَوْحَاهُ فِي أُذُنِ الْإِمَامِ ع.
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ahmad Bin Suleym, or from the one who reported it, from Ahmad Bin Suleym, from Abu Muhammad Al Hamdany, from Abu Is’haq Al Jareery who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws and heard him-asws saying: ‘For Allah-azwj there are pillars of light (for) the Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj on the entirety of the creatures. It’s (one) end is with Allah-azwj, and its other end is in the ears of the Imam-asws. Whenever Allah-azwj Intends anything, Reveals it in the ears of the Imam-asws’’.[91]
2- حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ لِيَ ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ يَا صَالِحَ بْنَ سَهْلٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الرَّسُولِ رَسُولًا وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْإِمَامِ رَسُولًا
It is narrated to us by Al Hassan Bin Ali, from salih Bin Sahl,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I was seated in his-asws presence. He-asws said to me initiating from him-asws: ‘O Salih Bin Sahl! Allah-azwj Made messengers to be between Him-azwj and the Rasools-as, and did not Make messengers to be between Him-azwj and the Imam-asws’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ ذَاكَ قَالَ جَعَلَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْإِمَامِ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ وَ يَنْظُرُ الْإِمَامُ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ عِلْمَ شَيْءٍ نَظَرَ فِي ذَلِكَ النُّورِ فَعَرَفَهُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And how is that so?’ He-asws said: ‘(Instead) He-azwj Made a pillar of light to be between Him-azwj and the Imam-asws. Allah-azwj Looks at the Imam-asws by it, and the Imam-asws looks at Him-azwj by it. When he-asws wants to know a thing, he-asws looks into that light and recognises it’’.[92]
3- حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عُبَيْسِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ إِمَاماً أَخَذَ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ شَرْبَةً مِنْ تَحْتِ عَرْشِهِ فَدَفَعَهُ إِلَى مَلَكٍ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِهِ فَأَوْصَلَهَا إِلَى الْإِمَامِ فَكَانَ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ مِنْهَا
It is narrated to us by Imran Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Isa Bin Hisham, from Al Husayn Bin Yunus,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj Wants to Create an Imam-asws, Allah-azwj Takes a drink by His-azwj Hand from beneath His-azwj Throne and Hands it over to an Angel from the Angels, and he arrives with it to the Imam-asws. The Imam-asws from after him-asws becomes from it.
فَإِذَا مَضَتْ عَلَيْهِ أَرْبَعُونَ يَوْماً سَمِعَ الصَّوْتَ وَ هُوَ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا وُلِدَ أُوتِيَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ كُتِبَ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
When forty days pass upon him-asws, he-asws hears the voice while he-asws is in the lap of his-asws mother-as. When he-asws is Blessed (comes to the world), he-asws is Given the knowledge and it is written upon his right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].
فَإِذَا كَانَ الْأَمْرُ يَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ أَعَانَهُ اللَّهُ بِثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ مَلَكاً بِعَدَدِ أَهْلِ بَدْرٍ وَ كَانُوا مَعَهُ وَ مَعَهُمْ سَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا وَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ نَقِيباً فَأَمَّا السَّبْعُونَ فَيَبْعَثُهُمْ إِلَى الْآفَاقِ يَدْعُونَ النَّاسَ إِلَى مَا دَعَوْا إِلَيْهِ أَوَّلًا وَ يَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي كُلِّ مَوْضِعٍ مِصْبَاحاً يُبْصِرُ بِهِ أَعْمَالَهُمْ.
So, when the command arrives to him-asws (Al-Qaim-asws), Allah-azwj would Assist him-asws with three hundred and thirteen Angels, the number of the people of Badr, and they would be with him-asws, and with them would be seventy men and twelve captains. As for the seventy, he-asws will send them to the horizons calling the people to what the first one-asws had called them to, and Allah-azwj will Make lanterns to be for him-asws in every place, he-asws will see their deeds by it’’.[93]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي وُلِدَ فِيهَا ابْنُهُ مُوسَى ع فَلَمَّا نَزَلْنَا الْأَبْوَاءَ وَضَعَ لَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْغَدَاءَ وَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ وَ أَكْثَرَهُ وَ أَطَابَهُ فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ نَتَغَدَّى إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَسُولُ حَمِيدَةَ أَنَّ الطَّلْقَ قَدْ ضَرَبَنِي وَ قَدْ أَمَرْتَنِي أَنْ لَا أَسْبِقَكَ بِابْنِكَ هَذَا
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Mukhtar Bin Ziyad, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Suleym, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I was with Abu Abdullah-asws during the year in which his-asws son-asws Musa-asws was born. When we encamped at Al-Abwa, Abu Abdullah-asws placed the lunch for us and for his-asws companions, and he-asws made more and better. While we were having lunch when a messenger of (Lady) Hameeda-as came, ‘The pangs (of childbirth) have hit me-as’, and she-as instructed me that I should not precede you with this son-asws of yours-asws’.
فَقَامَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَرِحاً مَسْرُوراً فَلَمْ يَلْبَثْ أَنْ عَادَ إِلَيْنَا حَاسِراً عَنْ ذِرَاعَيْهِ ضَاحِكاً سِنُّهُ فَقُلْنَا أَضْحَكَ اللَّهُ سِنَّكَ وَ أَقَرَّ عَيْنَكَ مَا صَنَعَتْ حَمِيدَةُ
Abu Abdullah-asws stood up joyful, cheerful. It was not long he-asws returned to us, rolled up his-asws sleeves from his-asws arms, manifesting his-asws teeth. We said, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep your-asws teeth laughing and delight your-asws eyes! What happed to Hameeda-as?’
فَقَالَ وَهَبَ اللَّهُ لِي غُلَاماً وَ هُوَ خَيْرُ مَنْ بَرَأَ اللَّهُ وَ لَقَدْ خَبَّرَتْنِي عَنْهُ بِأَمْرٍ كُنْتُ أَعْلَمَ بِهِ مِنْهَا قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا خَبَّرَتْكَ عَنْهُ حَمِيدَةُ
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Granted a boy to me-asws and he-asws is the best of the ones Allah-azwj has Created, and she-as informed with a matter I-asws was more knowing with it than her-as’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And what did Hameeda-as inform you-asws about?’
قَالَ ذَكَرَتْ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا وَقَعَ مِنْ بَطْنِهَا وَقَعَ وَاضِعاً يَدَيْهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَافِعاً رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَأَخْبَرْتُهَا أَنَّ تِلْكَ أَمَارَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمَارَةُ الْإِمَامِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا تِلْكَ مِنْ عَلَامَةِ الْإِمَامِ
He-asws said: ‘She-as mentioned that when he-asws fell from her-as lap, fell placing his-asws hands upon the ground, raising his-asws head towards the sky, so I-asws informed her-as that that is a sign of Rasool-Allah-saww and a sign of the Imam-asws from after him-saww’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And what is that from signs of the Imam-asws?’
فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي عُلِقَ بِجَدِّي فِيهَا أَتَى آتٍ جَدَّ أَبِي وَ هُوَ رَاقِدٌ فَأَتَاهُ بِكَأْسٍ فِيهَا شَرْبَةٌ أَرَقُّ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَ أَلْيَنُ مِنَ الزُّبْدِ وَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الشَّهْدِ وَ أَبْرَدُ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ فَسَقَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ أَمَرَهُ بِالْجِمَاعِ فَقَامَ فَرِحاً مَسْرُوراً فَجَامَعَ فَعُلِقَ فِيهَا بِجَدِّي وَ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي عُلِقَ فِيهَا بِأَبِي أَتَى آتٍ جَدِّي فَسَقَاهُ كَمَا سَقَى جَدَّ أَبِي وَ أَمَرَهُ بِالْجِمَاعِ فَقَامَ فَرِحاً مَسْرُوراً فَجَامَعَ فَعُلِقَ بِأَبِي
He-asws said: ‘When it was during the night in which my grandfather-asws was conceived in, a comer came to the grandfather-asws of my-asws father-asws, and he-asws was asleep. He came to him-asws with a cup wherein was a drink finer than the water, and white than the milk, and softer than the butter, and sweeter than the honey, and colder than the snow, and quenched him-asws with it and instructed him-asws with the union. So he-asws stood up happy, cheerful, and had a union, and my-asws father-asws was conceived.
وَ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي عُلِقَ بِي فِيهَا أَتَى آتٍ أَبِي فَسَقَاهُ وَ أَمَرَهُ كَمَا أَمَرَهُمْ فَقَامَ فَرِحاً مَسْرُوراً فَجَامَعَ فَعُلِقَ بِي
And when it was during the night in which my-asws father-asws was clotted, a comer came and quenched him-asws and instructed him-asws just as he-asws had instructed them-asws. So, he-asws stood up happy, cheerful and approached (his-asws wife), and I-asws was Blessed.
وَ لَمَّا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي عُلِقَ فِيهَا بِابْنِي هَذَا أَتَانِي آتٍ كَمَا أَتَى جَدَّ أَبِي وَ جَدِّي وَ أَبِي فَسَقَانِي كَمَا سَقَاهُمْ وَ أَمَرَنِي كَمَا أَمَرَهُمْ فَقُمْتُ فَرِحاً مَسْرُوراً بِعِلْمِ اللَّهِ بِمَا وَهَبَ لِي فَجَامَعْتُ فَعُلِقَ بِابْنِي
And when it was during the night in which this son-asws of mine-asws was conceived, a comer came just as he had come to the grandfather-asws of my-asws father-asws, and my-asws grandfather-asws, and my-asws father-asws, and quenched me-asws just as he had quenched them-asws, and instructed me-asws just as he-asws had instructed them. So, I-asws stood up happy, cheerful with the Knowledge of Allah-azwj with what He-azwj was to Grant me-asws. I-asws approached (my-asws wife) and my-asws son-asws was blessed.
وَ إِنَّ نُطْفَةَ الْإِمَامِ مِمَّا أَخْبَرْتُكَ فَإِذَا اسْتَقَرَّتْ فِي الرَّحِمِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً نَصَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ يَنْظُرُ مِنْهُ مَدَّ بَصَرِهِ فَإِذَا تَمَّتْ لَهُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَشْهُرٍ أَتَاهُ مَلَكٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ حَيَوَانُ وَ كَتَبَ عَلَى عَضُدِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
And a seed of the Imam-asws is from what I-asws shall inform you. When it settles in the lap for forty nights, Allah-azwj Establishes a pillar of light for him-asws in the lap of his-asws mother-as. He-asws looks from it to the extent of his-asws sight. When four months are complete for him-asws in the lap of his-asws mother-as, an Angel called Haywaan comes to him-asws and writes upon his-asws right upper arm: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].
فَإِذَا وَقَعَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ وَقَعَ وَاضِعاً يَدَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ رَافِعاً رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِذَا وَضَعَ يَدَهُ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْبِضُ كُلَّ عِلْمٍ أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ
When he-asws falls from the lap of his-asws mother-as, places his-asws hand upon the ground, raising his-asws head towards the sky. So, when he-asws places his-asws hand to the ground, he-asws takes possession of all knowledge Allah-azwj had Sent down from the sky to the earth.
وَ أَمَّا رَفْعُهُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَإِنَّ مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي مِنْ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ مِنَ الْأُفُقِ الْأَعْلَى بِاسْمِهِ وَ اسْمِ أَبِيهِ يَقُولُ يَا فُلَانُ اثْبُتْ ثَبَّتَكَ اللَّهُ فَلِعَظِيمٍ مَا خَلْقُكَ أَنْتَ صَفْوَتِي مِنْ خَلْقِي وَ مَوْضِعُ سِرِّي وَ عَيْبَةُ عِلْمِي
And as for raising his-asws head towards the sky, so a Caller Calls out from the interior of the Throne from the direction of the Lord-azwj of Mighty, from the high horizons, with his-asws name and name of his-asws father-asws, saying: “O so and so! Be firm, may Allah-azwj Affirm you-asws! Magnificent is what He-azwj has Created you-asws. You-azwj are My-azwj elite from My-azwj creatures, and place of My-azwj secrets, and container of My-azwj Knowledge.
لَكَ وَ لِمَنْ تَوَلَّاكَ أَوْجَبْتُ رَحْمَتِي وَ أَسْكَنْتُ جَنَّتِي وَ أَحْلَلْتُ جِوَارِي ثُمَّ وَ عِزَّتِي لَأُصْلِيَنَّ مَنْ عَادَاكَ أَشَدَّ عَذَابِي وَ إِنْ أَوْسَعْتُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ سَعَةِ رِزْقِي
For you-asws and for the ones in your-asws Wilayah, I-azwj shall Obligate My-azwj Mercy, and Settle in My-azwj Paradise, and Legalise My-azwj vicinity. Then, by My-azwj Mighty! I-saww shall Cause the most severe of My-azwj Punishments to arrive to the ones who are inimical to you-asws, and even if I-azwj Expand upon them from My-azwj capacious sustenance!”
فَإِذَا انْقَضَى صَوْتُ الْمُنَادِي أَجَابَهُ الْوَصِيُ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَإِذَا قَالَهَا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ عِلْمَ الْأَوَّلِ وَ عِلْمَ الْآخِرِ وَ اسْتَوْجَبَ زِيَارَةَ الرُّوحِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
When the voice of the Caller terminates, the successor-asws answers him: Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him, and (so testify) the Angels [3:18] – up to its end. When he-asws says that, Allah-azwj Gives him-asws the first knowledge and the last knowledge and Obligates visitation of the (Holy) Spirit during the Night of Pre-determination (Laylat Al-Qadr)’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لَيْسَ الرُّوحُ جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحُ خَلْقٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ الرُّوحُ.
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Isn’t Jibraeel-as the (Holy) Spirit?’ He-asws said: ‘Jibraeel-as is from the Angels and the (Holy) Spirit is a creature more magnificent than the Angels. Isn’t Allah-azwj Saying: The Angels and the Spirit descend [97:4]’’.[94]
5- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ جَرِيشٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ نُورٌ كَهَيْئَةِ الْعَيْنِ عَلَى رَأْسِ النَّبِيِّ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ لَا يُرِيدُ أَحَدٌ مِنَّا عِلْمَ أَمْرٍ مِنْ أَمْرِ الْأَرْضِ أَوْ مِنْ أَمْرِ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْحُجُبِ الَّتِي بَيْنَ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَّا رُفِعَ طَرْفُهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ النُّورِ فَرَأَى تَفْسِيرَ الَّذِي أَرَادَ فِيهِ مَكْتُوباً.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Al Hassan Bin Al Abbas Bin Jareesh,
From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Surely We Revealed it during the Night of Pre-determination [97:1] – A Noor (light) like the eye upon the head of the Prophet-saww and the successors-asws. No one from us-asws wants any knowledge of a matter from the matters of the earth or from matters of the sky up to the Veils which are between Allah-azwj and the Throne, except he-asws raises his-asws eye towards that Noor and he-asws sees the interpretation of that which he-asws wanted, written therein’’.[95]
6- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسَدٍ الْخَزَّازِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْخُرَاسَانِيِّ مَوْلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بُنَانٍ الْجَوْزِيِّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا قَدْرُ الْإِمَامِ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Asad Al Khazaz, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Abdullah Khurasany, a slave of Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Binan Al Jowzy, from Is’haq Al Qummi who said,
‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What is the ability of the Imam-asws?’
قَالَ يَسْمَعُ فِي بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا وَصَلَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَانَ عَلَى مَنْكِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ مَكْتُوباً وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَةُ رَبِّكَ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا لا مُبَدِّلَ لِكَلِماتِهِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
He-asws said: ‘He-asws hears in the lap of his-asws mother. When he-asws arrives to the ground it would be written upon his right shoulder: And the Word of your Lord has been Completed, truly and justly; there is no changer of His Words, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [6:115].
ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُ أَيْضاً لَهُ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَرَى فِيهِ أَعْمَالَ الْخَلَائِقِ كُلَّهَا ثُمَّ يَتَشَعَّبُ لَهُ عَمُودٌ آخَرُ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ إِلَى أُذُنِ الْإِمَامِ كُلَّمَا احْتَاجَ إِلَى مَزِيدٍ أُفْرِغَ فِيهِ إِفْرَاغاً.
Then a pillar of light is Sent to him-asws as well from beneath the interior of the Throne to the earth. He-asws sees in it the deeds of the creatures, all of them. Then another pillar is branched out for him-asws, from the Presence of Allah-azwj to the ears of the Imam-asws. Every time he-asws is needy to an increase, it is poured into him-asws a pouring’’.[96]

It is narrated to us by Abu Muhammad, from Imran Bin Musa, from Musa Bin Ja’far Al Baghdady, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Bakr AL Hazramy who said,

It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Ahwazy, from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father who said,
‘I and Safwan were in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan-asws and they mentioned the Imam-asws and his-asws merits. He-asws said: ‘But rather, a status of the Imam-asws in the earth is at the status of the moon in the sky, and in its place it emerges upon the entirety of the things, all of them’’.[98]
9- حَدَّثَنَا الْهَيْثَمُ النَّهْدِيُّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي نَصْرٍ عِنْدَ الرِّضَا ع فَجَرَى ذِكْرُ الْإِمَامِ فَقَالَ الرِّضَا ع إِنَّمَا هُوَ مِثْلُ الْقَمَرِ يَدُورُ فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ أَوْ تَرَاهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ.
It is narrated to us by Al Haysham Al Nahdy, from Ismail Bin Mihran who said,
‘I and Ahmad Bin Abu Nasr were in the presence of Al-Reza-asws, and the mention (discussion) of the Imam-asws flowed. Al-Reza-asws said: ‘But rather, he-asws is like the moon circling in every place, or you can see it from every place’’.[99]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One day the Prophet-saww said to his-saww companions: ‘My-saww life is good for you all, and my-saww expiry is good for you all’.
قَالَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا حَيَاتُكَ نَعَمْ قَالُوا فَكَيْفَ مَمَاتُكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ لُحُومَنَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً.
He-asws said: ‘They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! This life of yours-saww, yes (we understand), but how can your-saww expiry?’ He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has Prohibited our-asws flesh upon the earth to feed anything from it’’.[100]

And it is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, from Al Qasim Bin Urwa, from Abdullah Bin Umar Al Musly, from a man,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘My-saww life is good for you and my-saww expiry is good for you. As for my-saww life, Allah-azwj Guided you all through me-saww from the straying, and Saved you from the edge of the pit of the Fire; and as for my-saww expiry, your deeds would be presented to me-saww. So, whatever was from good, I-saww shall seek increase from Allah-azwj for you, and whatever was from ugliness, I-saww shall seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj for you’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ كَيْفَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ قَدْ رَمَمْتَ يَعْنِي صِرْتَ رَمِيماً
A man from the hypocrites said to him-saww, ‘And how can that be so, O Rasool-Allah-saww, and you-saww would have decayed, meaning become decayed bones?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كَلَّا إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ لُحُومَنَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَلَا تَطْعَمُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً.
Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘Never! Allah-azwj has Prohibited our-asws flesh upon the earth, so it will not feed upon anything from us-asws’’.[102]
4- حَدَّثَنَا السِّنْدِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِأَصْحَابِهِ حَيَاتِي خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ تُحَدِّثُونَ وَ نُحَدِّثُ لَكُمْ وَ مَمَاتِي خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُكُمْ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتُ حَسَناً جَمِيلًا حَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ رَأَيْتُ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ اسْتَغْفَرْتُ اللَّهَ لَكُمْ.

Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansary stood up to him-saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! As for your-asws staying in our midst, so it is good for us, but how can your-saww separation from us be good for us?’
قَالَ أَمَّا مُقَامِي بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ يُعَذِّبُهُمْ بِالسَّيْفِ
He-saww said: ‘As for my-saww staying in your midst, Allah-azwj Says: ‘And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, nor would Allah Punish them while they are seeking Forgiveness [8:33], Punishing them by the sword.
وَ أَمَّا مُفَارَقَتِي إِيَّاكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ فَإِنَّ أَعْمَالَكُمْ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ كُلَّ إِثْنَيْنِ وَ كُلَّ خَمِيسٍ فَمَا كَانَ مِنْ حَسَنٍ حَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ سَيِّئٍ اسْتَغْفَرْتُ اللَّهَ لَكُمْ.
And as for my-saww separation from you all being good for you, your deeds are presented unto me-saww during every Monday and every Thursday. So, whatever was from the good deeds, I-saww would praise Allah-azwj upon it, and whatever was from the evil deeds, I-saww would seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj for you all’’.[104]

قَالَ أَمَّا حَيَاتِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ وَ أَمَّا وَفَاتِي فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُكُمْ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ.
He-asws said: ‘As for my-saww life, Allah-azwj is Saying: ‘And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, nor would Allah Punish them while they are seeking Forgiveness [8:33].

It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar, from Jabir Al Jufy who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Jabir! Allah-azwj Created the people of three types, and it is the Word of Allah-azwj the Exalted: And you would be as three categories [56:7] So the companions of the right hand – what are the companions of the right hand?

فَالسَّابِقُونَ هُوَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ خَاصَّةُ اللَّهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ جَعَلَ فِيهِمْ خَمْسَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ فَبِهِ بُعِثُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ فَبِهِ خَافُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ فَبِهِ قَوُوا عَلَى طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ فَبِهِ اشْتَهَوْا طَاعَةَ اللَّهِ وَ كَرِهُوا مَعْصِيَتَهُ وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِمْ رُوحَ الْمَدْرَجِ الَّذِي يَذْهَبُ بِهِ النَّاسُ وَ يَجِيئُونَ
So, the foremost, it is Rasool-Allah-saww, and Allah-azwj Specialised him-saww from His-azwj creatures, Making five spirits to be in them-asws Aiding them with the Holy Spirit, by it the Prophets are Sent. And He-azwj Aided them with the Spirit of the Eman, by it they are fearing Allah-azwj. And He-azwj Aided them with the Spirit of the strength, by it they are strengthened upon obeying Allah-azwj. And He-azwj Aided them with the spirit of desire, by it they are desiring obedience of Allah-azwj and disliking being disobedient to Him-azwj. And He-azwj Made to be in them the Spirit of socialising by which the people are going and coming.
وَ جَعَلَ فِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَصْحَابِ الْمَيْمَنَةِ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ فَبِهِ خَافُوا اللَّهَ وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِمْ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ فَبِهِ قَوُوا عَلَى الطَّاعَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِمْ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ فَبِهِ اشْتَهَوْا طَاعَةَ اللَّهِ وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِمْ رُوحَ الْمَدْرَجِ الَّذِي يَذْهَبُ النَّاسُ بِهِ وَ يَجِيئُونَ.
And He-azwj Made the Eman to be in the Momineen, companions of the right hand, by it they are fearing Allah-azwj, and Made the Spirit of the strength to be in them they are strengthened upon the obedience of Allah-azwj from Allah-azwj, and Made the Spirit of the desire to be in them, by it they are desiring obedience of Allah-azwj, and Made the Spirit of the socialising to be in them by which they are going to the people and coming’’.[109]
2- حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ الزَّيَّاتِ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ نَهَراً دُونَ عَرْشِهِ وَ دُونَ النَّهَرِ الَّذِي دُونَ عَرْشِهِ نُورٌ مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ إِنَّ فِي حَافَتَيِ النَّهَرِ رُوحَيْنِ مَخْلُوقَيْنِ- رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ وَ رُوحٌ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَشْرَ طِينَاتٍ خَمْسَةً مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ خَمْسَةً مِنَ الْأَرْضِ فَفَسَّرَ الْجِنَانَ وَ فَسَّرَ الْأَرْضَ
It is narrated to us by Ali Bin Hassan, from Ali Bin Atiyya Al Zayyat raising it to,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘There is a river for Allah-azwj below His-azwj Throne, and below the river which is below His-azwj Throne, there is a Noor from His-azwj Noor, and in the two banks of the river there are two Created Spirit – the Holy Spirit and a Spirit from His-azwj Command, and for Allah-azwj there are ten clays from the Paradise and five from the earth’. He-asws explained the Gardens and explained the earth.
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ وَ لَا مَلَكٍ إِلَّا وَ مِنْ بَعْدِ جَبْلِهِ نَفَخَ فِيهِ مِنْ إِحْدَى الرُّوحَيْنِ وَ جَعَلَ النَّبِيَّ ص مِنْ إِحْدَى الطِّينَتَيْنِ
Then he-asws said: ‘There is none from a Prophet-as nor any Angel except and from after its kneading (creation of body), it is blown into him from one of the two Spirits, and He-azwj Made the Prophet-saww from one of the two clays’.
فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع مَا الْجَبْلُ قَالَ الْخَلْقُ غَيْرَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَنَا مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الطِّينَاتِ جَمِيعاً وَ نَفَخَ فِينَا مِنَ الرُّوحَيْنِ جَمِيعاً فَأَطْيِبْ بِهَا طِيباً.
I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘What is the kneading?’ He-asws said: ‘The creation of other than us-asws People-asws of the Household, for Allah-azwj Created us from the ten clays altogether and Blew into us-asws from both the two Spirits together, and He-azwj Made it goodly with it with goodliness’’.
وَ رَوَى غَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّامِتِ قَالَ: طِينُ الْجِنَانِ جَنَّةُ عَدْنٍ وَ جَنَّةُ الْمَأْوَى وَ النَّعِيمُ وَ الْفِرْدَوْسُ وَ الْخُلْدُ
And it is reported by someone else, from Abu Al Samit who said,
‘Clay of the Gardens – Garden of Eden, and Garden of Shelter (Al-Ma’wa), and the Bliss (Al-Naeem), and Al-Firdows, and the Eternal (Al-Khuld).
وَ طِينُ الْأَرْضِ مَكَّةُ وَ الْمَدِينَةُ وَ بَيْتُ الْمَقْدِسِ وَ الْحِيرَةُ.
And clay of the earth – Makkah, and Al-Medina, and Bayt Al-Maqdis, and Al-Heera’’.[110]
3- حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: فِي الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ خَمْسَةُ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ وَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ وَ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَرْوَاحٍ أَفْقَدَهَا رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ وَ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فِي الْكُفَّارِ ثَلَاثَةُ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ
It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad, from Yahya Bin Salih, from Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Asady, from Al Hassan Bin Ibrahim,
‘From Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘‘In the Prophets-as and the Successors-as are five Spirits – The Spirit of the Body, and the Holy Spirit, and the Spirit of Strength, and the Spirit of Desire, and Spirit of the Faith. And in the believers, there are four Spirits which can be lost – The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Body, the Spirit of Desire, and the Spirit of Faith. And in the infidel, there are three Spirits – The Spirit of the Body, and the Spirit of Strength, and Spirit of Desire’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ رُوحُ الْإِيمَانِ يُلَازِمُ الْجَسَدَ مَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ بِكَبِيرَةٍ فَإِذَا عَمِلَ بِكَبِيرَةٍ فَارَقَهُ الرُّوحُ وَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مَنْ سَكَنَ فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَعْمَلُ بِكَبِيرَةٍ أَبَداً.
Then he-asws said: ‘The Spirit of the Faith necessitates the body not to commit major sins. If it commits major sins, the Spirit separates, and the Holy Spirit, the one in whom it resides, he will not commit major sins, ever’’.[111]
4- حَدَّثَنَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنِ الْمُنَخَّلِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عِلْمِ الْعَالِمِ فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ فِي الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ خَمْسَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ وَ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ فَبِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ يَا جَابِرُ عَرَفُوا مَا تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الْأَرْوَاحَ يُصِيبُهَا الْحَدَثَانُ إِلَّا أَنَّ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ لَا يَلْهُو وَ لَا يَلْعَبُ.
It is narrated to us by one of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Umar, from Ibn Sinan, from Ammar Bin Marwan, from Al Minakhal, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws him-asws about the knowledge of the knowledgeable one-asws’. He-asws said: ‘O Jabir, In the Prophets-as and the Successors-as there are five Spirits – The Holy Spirit, and Spirit of the Faith, and Spirit of the Life, and Spirit of the Strength, and Spirit of the Desire. By the Holy Spirit, O Jabir, they-as come to know all that is from underneath the Throne to what is below the Earth’. Then he-asws said: ‘O Jabir, these Spirits get affected by the events, except for the Holy Spirit, it does not get involved with vanities, nor with sport’’.[112]
5- حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ دُرُسْتَ بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الرُّوحِ
It is narrated to us by Imran Bin Musa Bin Ja’far, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from Abdullah Bin Abdullah al Wasity, from Dorost Bin Abu Mansour, from the one mentioned, from Jabir who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the (Holy) Spirit’.
قَالَ يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْخَلْقَ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ وَ أَنْزَلَهُمْ ثَلَاثَ مَنَازِلَ وَ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِهِ حَيْثُ قَالَ فَأَصْحابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ما أَصْحابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ وَ أَصْحابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ ما أَصْحابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ وَ السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ أُولئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ
He-asws said: ‘O Jabir! Allah-azwj Created the creatures upon three layers and Descended them in three descents, and He-azwj Explained that in His-azwj Book where He-azwj Said: So, the companions of the right hand – what are the companions of the right hand? [56:8] And the companions of the left hand – what are the companions of the left hand? [56:9] And the foremost are the foremost [56:10] These are the ones of proximity [56:11].
فَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرَ مِنَ السَّابِقِينَ فَهُمْ أَنْبِيَاءُ مُرْسَلُونَ وَ غَيْرُ مُرْسَلِينَ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَمْسَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ وَ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ وَ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِهِ حَيْثُ قَالَ تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلى بَعْضٍ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ وَ رَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ دَرَجاتٍ وَ آتَيْنا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّناتِ وَ أَيَّدْناهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ
As for what He-azwj Mentioned of the foremost, they-as are the Prophets-as, Messengers and non-Messengers. Allah-azwj Made five Spirits to be in them-as – The Holy Spirit, and the Spirit of Eman, and the Spirit of strength, and the Spirit of desire, and the Spirit of the body, and He-azwj Explained that in His-azwj Book where He-azwj Said: Those Rasools, We Merited some of them over the others – from them was one to whom Allah Spoke (with), and some of them He Raised their ranks. And We Gave Isa Ibn Maryam the Clear Proofs and Assisted him with the Holy Spirit; [2:253].
ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي جَمِيعِهِمْ وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ فَبِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ بُعِثُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ مُرْسَلِينَ وَ غَيْرَ مُرْسَلِينَ وَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ عَلِمُوا جَمِيعَ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَ بِرُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ عَبَدُوا اللَّهَ وَ لَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئاً
Then He-azwj Said regarding all of them: and He Aids them with a Spirit from Him [58:22]. (It was) with the Holy Spirit the Prophets-as, Messengers and non-Messengers were Sent, and by the Holy Spirit they-as knew the entirety of the things; and by the Spirit of Eman they worshipped Allah-azwj and did not associate anything with Him-azwj;
وَ بِرُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ جَاهَدُوا عَدُوَّهُمْ وَ عَالَجُوا مَعَايِشَهُمْ وَ بِرُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ أَصَابُوا لَذَّةَ الطَّعَامِ وَ نَكَحُوا الْحَلَالَ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ وَ بِرُوحِ الْبَدَنِ يَدِبُّ وَ يَدْرُجُ
And by the Spirit of strength they-as fought their-as enemies and death with their-as livelihood; and by the Spirit of desire they-as attained pleasures of the food, and married the Permissible from the women; and by the Spirit of the body they-as avoided immoralities and mingled with the people.
وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْمَيْمَنَةِ فَهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقّاً جَعَلَ فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ
And as for what He-azwj Mentioned of the companions of the right hand, they are the true Momineen. He-azwj Made four Spirits to be in them – the Spirit of Eman, and the Spirit of strength, and the Spirit of desire, and Spirit of the body.
وَ لَا يَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ مُسْتَعْمِلًا بِهَذِهِ الْأَرْوَاحِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ حَتَّى يَهُمَّ بِالْخَطِيئَةِ فَإِذَا هَمَّ بِالْخَطِيئَةِ زَيَّنَ لَهُ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ شَجَّعَهُ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ وَ قَادَهُ رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ حَتَّى يُوقِعَهُ فِي تِلْكَ الْخَطِيئَةِ فَإِذَا لَامَسَ الْخَطِيئَةَ انْتَقَصَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ انْتَقَصَ الْإِيمَانُ مِنْهُ فَإِنْ تَابَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
And the servant does not cease to being utilised by these Spirits, to the extent that he things of the sins by them. When he things of the sins, the Spirit of desire adorns for him, and the Spirit of strength encourages him, and Spirit of the body guides him until he falls into that sin. When he touches the sin, he reduces from the Eman and the Eman is reduced from him. If he repents, Allah-azwj Turns to him.
وَ قَدْ يَأْتِي عَلَى الْعَبْدِ تَارَاتٌ يَنْقُصُ مِنْهُ بَعْضُ هَذِهِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْ لا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْئاً فَتَنْتَقِصُ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ وَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ مُجَاهَدَةَ الْعَدُوِّ وَ لَا مُعَالَجَةَ الْمَعِيشَةِ وَ يَنْتَقِصُ مِنْهُ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ فَلَوْ مَرَّتْ بِهِ أَحْسَنُ بَنَاتِ آدَمَ لَمْ يَحِنَّ إِلَيْهَا
And the persistence comes upon the servant reducing from him one of these four, and what is the Word of Allah-azwj the Exalted: and from you is one who is returned to the worst age so that he does not know anything, after knowing. [16:70]. The Spirit of strength is reduced and he is no longer able to fight the enemy, nor deal with the livelihood, and the Spirit of strength is reduced from him, so even if he were to pass by the most beautiful daughter of Adam-as, he would not incline towards her.
وَ تَبْقَى فِيهِ رُوحُ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ فَبِرُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَ بِرُوحِ الْبَدَنِ يَدِبُّ وَ يَدْرُجُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ
And there would remain in him the Spirit of Eman and Spirit of the body. By the Spirit of Eman he worships Allah-azwj by Spirit of the body he avoids immoralities and mingles with the people until the Angel of death comes to him.
وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتَ أَصْحَابَ الْمَشْئَمَةِ فَمِنْهُمْ أَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى الَّذِينَ آتَيْناهُمُ الْكِتابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَما يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْناءَهُمْ وَ إِنَّ فَرِيقاً مِنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ
And as for what He-azwj Mentioned companions of the left hand, from them are people of the Book. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: Those whom We have Given the Book are recognising him just as they are recognising their own sons; and a party of them are concealing the Truth while they are knowing [2:146] The Truth is from your Lord, therefore do not become from the doubting ones [2:147].
عَرَفُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ الْوَصِيَّ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ كَتَمُوا مَا عَرَفُوا مِنَ الْحَقِّ بَغْياً وَ حَسَداً فَيَسْلُبُهُمْ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ جَعَلَ لَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ
They recognised Rasool-Allah-saww and the successor-asws from after him-saww, and they concealed what they had recognised of the truth, out of rebellion and envy. The Spirit of Eman was Confiscated from them and three Spirits were Made to be for them – the Spirit of strength, and the Spirit of desire, and Spirit of the body.
ثُمَّ أَضَافَهُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْعَامِ فَقَالَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا لِأَنَّ الدَّابَّةَ إِنَّمَا تَحْمِلُ بِرُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ وَ تَعْتَلِفُ بِرُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ تَسِيرُ بِرُوحِ الْبَدَنِ.
Then He-azwj Added them to the cattle. He-azwj Said: Surely, they are only like the cattle. But, they are more straying of the way [25:44], because the animals are rather carried by the Spirit of strength, and they react by the Spirit of desire, and move around by Spirit of the body’’.[113]
6- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ دَاوُدَ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ أُنَاسٌ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَا يَزْنِي وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَسْرِقُ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرَ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَأْكُلُ الرِّبَا وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يَسْفِكُ الدَّمَ الْحَرَامَ وَ هُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Dawood, from Abu Haroun Al Abdy, from Muhammad bin Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said,
‘A man came to Amir Al-Momineen-asws and said, ‘There are people claiming that the servant does not commit adultery and he is a Momin, nor does he steal and he is a Momin, nor drink the wine and he is a Momin, nor consume the interest and he is a Momin, nor shed the Prohibited blood and he is a Momin.
فَقَدْ كَبُرَ هَذَا عَلَيَّ وَ حَرِجَ مِنْهُ صَدْرِي حَتَّى زُعِمَ أَنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ الَّذِي يُصَلِّي إِلَى قِبْلَتِي وَ يَدْعُو دَعْوَتِي وَ يُنَاكِحُنِي وَ أُنَاكِحُهُ وَ يُوَارِثُنِي وَ أُوَارِثُهُ فَأُخْرِجُهُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ مِنْ أَجْلِ ذَنْبٍ يَسِيرٍ أَصَابَهُ
This has been grievous upon me and my chest has been troubled to the extent of the claim that this servant who prays Salat to my Qiblah, and calls my call, and marries in my family and I marry in his (family), and inherits me and I inherit him, and he would exit from the Eman due to the few sins which hit him?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع صَدَقَكَ أَخُوكَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ وَ هُوَ عَلَى ثَلَاثِ طَبَقَاتٍ وَ أَنْزَلَهُمْ ثَلَاثَ مَنَازِلَ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ فِي الْكِتَابِ أَصْحابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ وَ أَصْحابُ الْمَشْئَمَةِ وَ السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ
Ali-asws said to him: ‘Your brother spoke the truth. I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘Allah-azwj Created the creatures and it was upon three categories, and Descended them to three stages, and that is His-azwj Word: So the companions of the right hand [56:8] And the companions of the left hand [56:9] And the foremost are the foremost [56:10].
فَأَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنَ السَّابِقِينَ فَأَنْبِيَاءُ مُرْسَلُونَ وَ غَيْرُ مُرْسَلِينَ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ فِيهِمْ خَمْسَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ- رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ وَ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ
As for what you mentioned of the foremost ones, it is the Prophets-as, Messengers-as and non-Messengers-as. Allah-azwj Made five spirits to be in them-as – The Holy Spirit, and the spirit of Eman, and the spirit of strength, and the spirit of desire, and the spirit of the body.
فَبِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ بُعِثُوا أَنْبِيَاءَ مُرْسَلِينَ وَ غَيْرَ مُرْسَلِينَ وَ بِرُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ عَبَدُوا اللَّهَ وَ لَمْ يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئاً وَ بِرُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ جَاهَدُوا عَدُوَّهُمْ وَ عَالَجُوا مَعَايِشَهُمْ وَ بِرُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ أَصَابُوا اللَّذِيذَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ نَكَحُوا الْحَلَالَ مِنْ شَبَابِ النِّسَاءِ وَ بِرُوحِ الْبَدَنِ دَبُّوا وَ دَرَجُوا
With the Holy Spirit, the Prophets-as, Messengers-as and non Messengers-as are Sent; and with the spirit of Eman they-as worshipped Allah-azwj and did not associate anything with Him-azwj; and with the spirit of strength they-as fought against their-as enemies and dealt with their-as livelihoods; and with the spirit of desire they attained pleasures from the food and married the Permissible from the young women; and with the spirit of body they observed the morality and mingled with the people.
ثُمَّ قَالَ تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلى بَعْضٍ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ وَ رَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ دَرَجاتٍ وَ آتَيْنا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّناتِ وَ أَيَّدْناهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي جَمَاعَتِهِمْ وَ أَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ يَقُولُ أَكْرَمَهُمْ بِهَا وَ فَضَّلَهُمْ عَلَى مَنْ سِوَاهُمْ
Then He-azwj Said: Those Rasools, We Merited some of them over the others – from them was one to whom Allah Spoke (with), and some of them He Raised their ranks. And We Gave Isa Ibn Maryam the Clear Proofs and Assisted him with the Holy Spirit; [2:253]. Then Said regarding their-as community: and He Aids them with a Spirit from Him [58:22]. He-azwj is Saying that He-azwj Honoured them-as by it and Merited them-as over the ones besides them-as.
وَ أَمَّا مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْمَيْمَنَةِ فَهُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ حَقّاً بِأَعْيَانِهِمْ فَجَعَلَ فِيهِمْ أَرْبَعَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ وَ لَا يَزَالُ الْعَبْدُ يُسْتَكْمَلُ بِهَذِهِ الْأَرْوَاحِ حَتَّى تَأْتِيَ حَالاتٌ قَالَ وَ مَا هَذِهِ الْحَالاتُ
And as for what you mentioned of the companions of the right hand, they are the Momineen truly. He-azwj Made four Spirits to be in them – Spirit of the Faith, and Spirit of the Strength, and Spirit of the Desire, and Spirit of the Body. The servant does not cease to make use of these four Spirits, until certain situation take place for him’. He said, ‘And what situations are these?’
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع أَمَّا أَوَّلُهُنَّ فَهُوَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ وَ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يُرَدُّ إِلى أَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْ لا يَعْلَمَ بَعْدَ عِلْمٍ شَيْئاً فَهَذَا يَنْتَقِصُ مِنْهُ جَمِيعُ الْأَرْوَاحِ وَ لَيْسَ مِنَ الَّذِي يَخْرُجُ مِنْ دِينِ اللَّهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ الْفَاعِلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ رَدَّهُ إِلَى أَرْذَلِ عُمُرِهِ فَهُوَ لَا يَعْرِفُ لِلصَّلَاةِ وَقْتاً وَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ التَّهَجُّدَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ لَا الصِّيَامَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ لَا الْقِيَامَ فِي صَفٍّ مَعَ النَّاسِ
Ali-asws said: ‘As for the first of these, it is as Allah-azwj Said: and from you is one who is returned to the worst age so that he does not know anything, after knowing. [16:70]. This is a deficiency from it of all the spirits, and he isn’t from the one who exits from the Religion of Allah-azwj because the Doer with him has Returned him to the worst of his age, so he neither recognises the Salat of its timing, nor is he able for the (Salat) Tahajjud at night, nor Fasting by the day, nor standing in rows with the people (for Jihad).
فَهَذَا نُقْصَانٌ مِنْ رُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ فَلَيْسَ يَضُرُّهُ شَيْءٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ يَنْتَقِصُ مِنْهُ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ فَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ جِهَادَ عَدُوِّهِ وَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ طَلَبَ الْمَعِيشَةِ وَ يَنْتَقِصُ مِنْهُ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ فَلَوْ مَرَّتْ بِهِ أَصْبَحُ بَنَاتِ آدَمَ لَمْ يَحِنَّ إِلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ يَقُمْ وَ يَبْقَى رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ فَهُوَ يَدِبُّ وَ يَدْرُجُ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ
So this is a deficiency from the spirit of Eman, and nothing will harm him, if Allah-azwj so Desires, and deficiency from it of the spirit of strength, so he is not able to fight against his enemies, nor able to seek the livelihood, and a deficiency from it of the spirit of desire. So, if he were to pass by the daughters of Adam-as, he will not turn to her and will not stand, and there remains the spirit of body, so he avoids the immorality and mingles with the people until the Angel of death comes to him.
فَهَذَا حَالٌ خَيْرٌ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ وَ قَدْ تَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ حَالاتٌ فِي قُوَّتِهِ وَ شَبَابِهِ يَهُمُّ بِالْخَطِيئَةِ فَتُشَجِّعُهُ رُوحُ الْقُوَّةِ وَ تُزَيِّنُ لَهُ رُوحُ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ تَقُودُهُ رُوحُ الْبَدَنِ حَتَّى تُوقِعَهُ فِي الْخَطِيئَةِ فَإِذَا مَسَّهَا انْتَقَصَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ نُقْصَانُهُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ لَيْسَ بِعَائِدٍ فِيهِ أَبَداً أَوْ يَتُوبََإِنْ تَابَ وَ عَرَفَ الْوَلَايَةَ تَابَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ عَادَ وَ هُوَ تَارِكُ الْوَلَايَةِ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ
This is a better state because Allah-azwj Did that with him, and there had come upon him situation during his strength and his youth he had thought of committing sins, so the spirit of strength had encouraged him, and the spirit of desire had adorned it for him, and the spirit of body had guided him until he fell into the sin. . If it so happens, that he gets touched by the deficiency from the faith, he will not get anything out of it, ever, unless he repents. If he were to repent having recognised the Wilayah, Allah-azwj will Accept his repentance, and if he returns to sinning, and he has left the Wilayah, Allah-azwj will Make him enter the Fire of Hell.
وَ أَمَّا أَصْحَابُ الْمَشْأَمَةِ فَهُمُ الْيَهُودُ وَ النَّصَارَى قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى الَّذِينَ آتَيْناهُمُ الْكِتابَ يَعْرِفُونَهُ كَما يَعْرِفُونَ أَبْناءَهُمْ فِي مَنَازِلِهِمْ وَ إِنَّ فَرِيقاً مِنْهُمْ لَيَكْتُمُونَ الْحَقَّ وَ هُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ الرَّسُولُ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْحَقِ فَلا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ
And as for the companions of the left hand, they are the Jews and the Christians. Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: Those whom We have Given the Book are recognising him just as they are recognising their own sons; – in their own homes, and a party of them are concealing the Truth while they are knowing [2:146] The Truth is from your Lord, – the Rasool-saww from Allah-azwj to them with the truth, therefore do not become from the doubting ones [2:147].
فَلَمَّا جَحَدُوا مَا عَرَفُوا ابْتَلَاهُمُ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ الذَّمِّ فَسَلَبَهُمْ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ أَسْكَنَ أَبْدَانَهُمْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحَ الْبَدَنِ ثُمَّ أَضَافَهُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْعَامِ فَقَالَ إِنْ هُمْ إِلَّا كَالْأَنْعامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ سَبِيلًا لِأَنَّ الدَّابَّةَ إِنَّمَا تَحْمِلُ بِرُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ وَ تَعْتَلِفُ بِرُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ تَسِيرُ بِرُوحِ الْبَدَنِ
So, when they rejected what they had recognised, Allah-azwj Nullified that and Condemned them. He-azwj Confiscated their spirit of the Faith, and Let three spirits reside in their bodies – spirit of the Strength, and spirit of the Desire, and spirit of the Body, then He-azwj Likened them to the cattle. He-azwj Said: Surely, they are only like the cattle. But, they are more straying of the way [25:44], because the animals are rather being carried by the spirit of strength, and they react by spirit of the desire, and they move around by spirit of the body’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ السَّائِلُ أَحْيَيْتَ قَلْبِي بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
The questioner said to him-asws, ‘You-asws have revived my heart, by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.[114]

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Are you-asws (ever) asked about something and its knowledge does not happen to be with you-asws?’
فَقَالَ رُبَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ قَالَ تَتَلَقَّانَا بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.

3- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنِ السَّابَاطِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِمَا تَحْكُمُونَ إِذَا حَكَمْتُمْ فَقَالَ بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ وَ حُكْمِ دَاوُدَ فَإِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْنَا شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا تَلَقَّانَا بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Al Sabaty who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘By what are you-asws judging when you-asws do judge?’ He-asws said: ‘By Judgment of Allah-azwj and judgment of Dawood-as. So, when something is referred to us-asws which isn’t with us-asws, we-asws are brought it by the Holy Spirit’’.[117]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ تُسْأَلُونَ عَنِ الشَّيْءِ فَلَا يَكُونُ عِنْدَكُمْ عِلْمُهُ قَالَ رُبَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ قَالَ تَلَقَّانَا بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.

From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Are you-asws (ever) asked about the thing and its knowledge does not happen to be with you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Sometimes that does happen’. I said, ‘How are you-asws dealing (with it)?’ He-asws said: ‘The Holy Spirit comes with it’’.[118]
5- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنْبِيَاءُ أَنْتُمْ قَالَ لَا قُلْتُ فَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ لَا أَتَّهِمُ أَنَّكَ قُلْتَ إِنَّا أَنْبِيَاءُ قَالَ مَنْ هُوَ أَبُو الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ كُنْتُ إِذاً أَهْجُرُ

He-asws said: ‘Who was it, Abu Al-Khattab?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Then I-asws would be forsaken (if I-asws had said it)’’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ فَبِمَا تَحْكُمُونَ قَالَ بِحُكْمِ آلِ دَاوُدَ فَإِذَا وَرَدَ عَلَيْنَا شَيْءٌ لَيْسَ عِنْدَنَا تَلَقَّانَا بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘So, by what are you-asws judging?’ He-asws said: ‘By the judgment of family of Dawood-as. When something is referred to us-asws which isn’t with us-asws, the Holy Spirit brings it to us-asws’’.[119]

8- حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَجَّهَ عَلِيّاً ع إِلَى الْيَمَنِ لِيَقْضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا وَرَدَتْ عَلَيَّ قَضِيَّةٌ إِلَّا حَكَمْتُ فِيهَا بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ وَ حُكْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
It is narrated to us by Imran Bin Musa, from Musa Bin Ja’far, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Al Aziz, from his father who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! The people are alleging that Rasool-Allah-saww diverted Ali-asws to Al-Yemen in order to judge between them, so Ali-asws said: ‘No case was referred to me except I-asws judged regarding it by a Judgment of Allah-azwj and judgment of Rasool-Allah-saww’’.
فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ ذَاكَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ كُلُّهُ وَ قَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص غَائِباً عَنْهُ فَقَالَ تَتَلَقَّاهُ بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.
He-asws said: ‘They speak the truth’. I said, ‘And how can that be so and the whole Quran had yet to be Revealed, and Rasool-Allah-saww was absent from him-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘The Holy Spirit came to him-asws with it’’.[122]
9- حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ جَرِيشٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ع قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرُ ع إِنَّ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ مُحَدَّثُونَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَهُ
It is narrated to us by Abu Ali Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Al Hassan in Al Abbas Bin Jareysh,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws the 2nd having said: ‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘The successors-asws are narrated to (Muhaddis). The Holy Spirit narrates to them-asws, and they are not seeing him.
وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَعْرِضُ عَلَى رُوحِ الْقُدُسِ مَا يُسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَيُوجِسُ فِي نَفْسِهِ أَنْ قَدْ أَصَبْتَ بِالْجَوَابِ فَيُخْبَرُ فَيَكُونُ كَمَا قَالَ.
And Ali-asws used to present to the Holy Spirit whatever he-asws was asked about (the future), so he-asws would search within himself-asws and attain the correct answer, and he-asws would inform, and it would transpire just as he-asws would have said’’.[123]
10- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ أَوْ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع كَانَ يَقُولُ وَجَّهَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى الْيَمَنِ وَ الْوَحْيُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَحَكَمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ بِحُكْمِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى لَقَدْ كَانَ الْحُكْمُ يظهر [يَزْهَرُ]
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn or from the one who reported it, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The people are saying that Amir Al-Momineen-asws was saying: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww had sent me-asws to Al-Yemen and the Revelation descended unto the Prophet-saww at Al-Medina, and I-asws judged between them with the Judgment of Allah-azwj until the judgment appeared (later on)’.
فَقَالَ صَدَقُوا قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ ذَاكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا وَرَدَتْ عَلَيْهِ قَضِيَّةٌ لَمْ يَنْزِلِ الْحُكْمُ فِيهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَلَقَّاهُ بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.
He-asws said: ‘They are speaking the truth’. I said, ‘And how can that be so? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’ He-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws, whenever a case was referred to him-asws for which the Judgment had not yet been Revealed in the Book of Allah-azwj, the Holy Spirit cast it to him-asws’’.[124]
11- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ نَفَثَ فِي رُوعِي رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ أَنَّهُ لَمْ تَمُتْ نَفْسٌ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ أَقْصَى رِزْقِهَا وَ إِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَلَيْهَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ وَ لَا يَحْمِلَنَّكُمُ اسْتِبْطَاءُ شَيْءٍ مِمَّا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُصِيبُوهُ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُنَالُ مَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِالطَّاعَةِ.
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from his father,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O you people! The Holy Spirit has been Blown into my-saww heart. No soul dies until he has been fulfilled the maximum of its sustenance, and even if there has been a delay over it. Therefore fear Allah-azwj and be beautiful in the seeking, and the delay of something from the Presence of Allah-azwj should not carry you to attain it by an act of disobedience, for whatever is with Allah-azwj cannot be attained except by the act of obedience’’.[125]
12- حَدَّثَنَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَشَّارٍ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ خَلَقَ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ عَلَى خَمْسَةِ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ رُوحِ الْحَيَاةِ وَ رُوحِ الْقُوَّةِ وَ رُوحِ الشَّهْوَةِ وَ رُوحِ الْقُدُسِ فَرُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ سَائِرُ هَذِهِ الْأَرْوَاحِ يُصِيبُهَا الْحَدَثَانُ فَرُوحُ الْقُدُسِ لَا يَلْهُو وَ لَا يَتَغَيَّرُ وَ لَا يَلْعَبُ وَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ عَلِمُوا يَا جَابِرُ مَا دُونَ الْعَرْشِ إِلَى مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى.
It is narrated to us by one of our companions, from Musa bin Umar, from Muhammad Bin Bashar, from Ammar Bin Marwan, from Jabir who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Created the Prophets-as and the Imams-asws upon five spirits – The spirit of Eman, and the spirit of life, and the spirit of strength, and the spirit of desire, and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is from Allah-azwj, and the rest of these Spirits get affected by the occurring events. The Holy Spirit does not indulge in vanities, nor does it change, nor does it sport, and it is by the Holy Spirit, I-asws come to know, O Jabir, what is beneath the Throne to what is beneath the Earth’’.[126]
13- حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ عِلْمِ الْإِمَامِ بِمَا فِي أَقْطَارِ الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ فِي بَيْتِهِ مُرْخًى عَلَيْهِ سِتْرُهُ
It is narrated to us by Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Al Moalla, from Abdullah Bin Idrees, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws asking him-asws about knowledge of the Imams-asws with what is in the outskirts of the earth, and he-asws was in his-asws house relaxing upon his-asws jacket.
فَقَالَ يَا مُفَضَّلُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ص خَمْسَةَ أَرْوَاحٍ رُوحَ الْحَيَاةِ فَبِهِ دَبَّ وَ دَرَجَ وَ رُوحَ الْقُوَّةِ فَبِهِ نَهَضَ وَ جَاهَدَ وَ رُوحَ الشَّهْوَةِ فَبِهِ أَكَلَ وَ شَرِبَ وَ أَتَى النِّسَاءَ مِنَ الْحَلَالِ وَ رُوحَ الْإِيمَانِ فَبِهِ أَمَرَ وَ عَدَلَ وَ رُوحَ الْقُدُسِ فَبِهِ حَمَلَ النُّبُوَّةَ
He-asws said: ‘O Mufazzal! Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Made five spirits to be for the Prophet-saww – The spirit of life, by it he-saww observed the morality and intermingled with the people; and the spirit of strength, by it he-saww took initiatives and struggled; and the spirit of desires, by it he-saww ate and drank and went to the women from the Permissible; and the spirit of Eman, by it he-saww instructed and dispensed justice; and the Holy Spirit, by it he-saww bore the Prophet-hood.
فَإِذَا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص انْتَقَلَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ فَصَارَ فِي الْإِمَامِ وَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ لَا يَنَامُ وَ لَا يَغْفُلُ وَ لَا يَلْهُو وَ لَا يَسْهُو وَ الْأَرْبَعَةُ الْأَرْوَاحُ تَنَامُ وَ تَلْهُو وَ تَغْفُلُ وَ تَسْهُو وَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ ثَابِتٌ يَرَى بِهِ مَا فِي شَرْقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ غَرْبِهَا وَ بَرِّهَا وَ بَحْرِهَا
When the Prophet-saww passed away, the Holy Spirit transferred and came to be in the Imam-asws, and the Holy Spirit neither sleeps, nor is heedless, nor indulges in vanities, nor errs, while the other four spirits do sleep, and indulge in vanities, and become heedless, and make mistakes, and the Holy Spirit is firm. He-asws sees by it in the east of the earth and its west, and its lands and its seas’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ يَتَنَاوَلُ الْإِمَامُ مَا بِبَغْدَادَ بِيَدِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ مَا دُونَ الْعَرْشِ.
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Can the Imam-asws take by his-asws hand what is at Baghdad?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, and whatever is below the Throne’’.[127]

[42:52], he descended from the sky unto Muhammad-saww, then did not ascend to the sky since it had descended to the earth’’.[142]
17 باب ما يسأل العالم عن العلم الذي يحدث به من صحف عندهم ازداده أو رواية فأخبر بسر و أن ذلك من الروح
CHAPTER 17 – WHAT THE SCHOLAR-asws WAS ASKED ABOUT THE KNOWLEDGE WHICH HE-asws NARRATES WITH, IS IT FROM THE PARCHMENTS WITH THEM-asws BEING INCREASED, OR REPORTS INFORMED IN SECRET, AND THAT IS FROM THE SPIRIT
1- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَخْبِرْنِي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُونَّا بِهِ أَ مِنْ صُحُفٍ عِنْدَكُمْ أَمْ مِنْ رِوَايَةٍ يَرْوِيهَا بَعْضُكُمْ عَنْ بَعْضٍ أَوْ كَيْفَ حَالُ الْعِلْمِ عِنْدَكُمْ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abdullah Bin Talha who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Inform me, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, about the knowledge which you-asws are narrating with, is it from books which are with you-asws or from reports having been narrated from one-asws to another-asws, or how is the state of the knowledge with you-asws all?’
قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ الْأَمْرُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ أَجَلُّ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ وَ كَذلِكَ أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ أَمْرِنا ما كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمانُ أَ فَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي حَالٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمَانُ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَكَذَا نَقْرَؤُهَا
He-asws said: ‘O Abdullah! The matter is more magnificent than that and more majestic. Have you not read the Book of Allah-azwj?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Have you read: And like that We Sent down a Spirit unto you from Our Command. You (people) did not know what the Book was, nor the Eman, [42:52]? Are you viewing that he-saww was in a state he-saww didn’t know what the Book was nor the Eman?’ I said, ‘That is how we are reading it’.
قَالَ نَعَمْ قَدْ كَانَ فِي حَالٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الرُّوحَ فَعَلَّمَهُ بِهَا الْعِلْمَ وَ الْفَهْمَ وَ كَذَلِكَ تَجْرِي تِلْكَ الرُّوحُ إِذَا بَعَثَهَا اللَّهُ إِلَى عَبْدٍ عَلَّمَهُ بِهَا الْعِلْمَ وَ الْفَهْمَ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes, he-saww was in a state he-saww did not know what the Book was nor the Eman until Allah-azwj Sent that Spirit, and Taught him-saww through it, the knowledge and the understanding, and like that the Spirit flows when Allah-azwj Sends it to a servant to Teach him the knowledge and the understanding through it’’.[143]
2- حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَخْبِرْنِي يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَنِ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي تُحَدِّثُونَّا بِهِ أَ مِنْ صُحُفٍ عِنْدِكُمْ أَوْ مِنْ رِوَايَةٍ يَرْوِيهَا بَعْضُكُمْ عَنْ بَعْضٍ أَوْ كَيْفَ حَالُ الْعِلْمِ عِنْدَكُمْ
It is narrated to us by Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Ibn Sinan, or someone else from Abdullah Bin Talha who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Inform me, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, about the knowledge which you-asws are narrating to us with. Is it from Parchments which are with you-asws, or from reports you-asws have reported from each other, or how is the state of the knowledge in your-asws possession?’
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع الْأَمْرُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ أَجَلُّ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ وَ كَذلِكَ أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ أَمْرِنا ما كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمانُ أَ فَتَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي حَالٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمَانُ
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The matter is greater than that and more majestic. Have you not read the Book of Allah-azwj?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Have you not read: And like that We Sent down a Spirit unto you from Our Command. You (people) did not know what the Book was, nor the Eman, [42:52]? Don’t you see that he-saww was in a state he-saww neither knew the Book nor the Eman?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ هَكَذَا نَقْرَؤُهَا قَالَ نَعَمْ قَدْ كَانَ فِي حَالٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الرُّوحَ فَعَلَّمَهُ بِهَا الْعِلْمَ وَ الْفَهْمَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘That is how we are reading it’. He-asws said: ‘Yes, he-saww had been in a state of neither knowing what the Book was nor the Eman until Allah-azwj Sent that Spirit and Taught him-saww the knowledge and the understanding by it’’.[144]
3- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي تَعْلَمُونَهُ أَ هُوَ شَيْءٌ تَعَلَّمُونَهُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ الرِّجَالِ بَعْضُكُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ أَوْ شَيْءٌ مَكْتُوبٌ عِنْدَكُمْ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
Muhammad Bin Isa, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar who said,
I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Inform me about the knowledge which you-asws know, is it something you-asws are learning from the mouths of men, one from the other, or something written with you-asws from Rasool-Allah-saww?’
فَقَالَ الْأَمْرُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ كَذلِكَ أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ أَمْرِنا ما كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمانُ
He-asws said: ‘The matter is more magnificent than that. Have you not heard the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in His-azwj Book: And like that We Sent down a Spirit unto you from Our Command. You (people) did not know what the Book was, nor the Eman, [42:52]?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الرُّوحَ عَلِمَ بِهَا وَ كَذَلِكَ هِيَ إِذَا انْتَهَتْ إِلَى عَبْدٍ عَلِمَ بِهَا الْعِلْمَ وَ الْفَهْمَ يُعَرِّضُ بِنَفْسِهِ ع.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Yes (I have)’. He-asws said: ‘When Allah-azwj Gave him-asws that Spirit, he-saww came to know with it, and like that when it ends up to a servant, he-asws comes to know of that knowledge and the understanding displayed with himself-asws’’.[145]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَلَّالِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ سَمِعْتُ مِنْ جَابِرٍ أَحَادِيثَ فَاضْطَرَبَ فِيهَا فُؤَادِي وَ ضِقْتُ فِيهَا ضَيْقاً شَدِيداً فَقُلْتُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الْمُسْتَرَاحَ لَقَرِيبٌ وَ إِنِّي عَلَيْهِ لِقَوِيٌّ فَابْتَعْتُ بَعِيراً وَ خَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَ طَلَبْتُ الْإِذْنَ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَذِنَ لِي فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيَّ قَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ جَابِراً كَانَ يَصْدُقُ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُغِيرَةَ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَكْذِبُ عَلَيْنَا
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ziyad Bin Abu Al Hallal who said,
‘I had heard Ahadeeth from Jabir and my heart was disturbed regarding these and I was straitened with intense straitening. I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! The rest is near, and I am strong upon it’, so I bought a camel and went out to Al-Medina and sought the permission to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws permitted for me. When he-asws looked at me, said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on Jabir. He was truthful upon us-asws, and may Allah-azwj Curse Al-Mugheira, for he was lying upon us-asws’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِينَا رُوحُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said: ‘Among us-asws is the Spirit (which was with) Rasool-Allah-saww’’.[146]
5- حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْبَغْدَادِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الْعِلْمِ مَا هُوَ أَ عِلْمٌ يَتَعَلَّمُهُ الْعَالِمُ مِنْ أَفْوَاهِ الرِّجَالِ أَوْ فِي كِتَابٍ عِنْدَكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَهُ فَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنْهُ
It is narrated to us by Abu Muhammad, from Imran Bin Musa, from Musa Bin Ja’far Al Baghdady, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the knowledge, ‘What is it? Is it knowledge the scholar-asws learn from the mouths of men, or in a book with you-asws, you-asws are reading it and learning from it?’
فَقَالَ الْأَمْرُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَاكَ وَ أَجَلُّ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ تَعَالَى وَ كَذلِكَ أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ رُوحاً مِنْ أَمْرِنا ما كُنْتَ تَدْرِي مَا الْكِتابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمانُ
He-asws said: ‘The matter is more magnificent than that and more majestic. Have you not heard Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: And like that We Sent down a Spirit unto you from Our Command. You (people) did not know what the Book was, nor the Eman, [42:52]?’
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ يَقُولُ أَصْحَابُكُمْ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ يَرَوْنَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي حَالٍ لَا يَدْرِي مَا الْكِتَابُ وَ لَا الْإِيمَانُ حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تِلْكَ الرُّوحَ الَّتِي يُعْطِيهَا اللَّهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ فَإِذَا أَعْطَاهَا اللَّهُ عَبْداً عَلَّمَهُ الْفَهْمَ وَ الْعِلْمَ.
Then he-asws said: ‘And which thing are your companions saying regarding this Verse? He-saww was in a state he-saww did not know what the Book was nor the Eman until Allah-azwj Sent that Spirit to him-saww which Allah-azwj Gives to ones He-azwj so Desires to. So, when Allah-azwj Gives it to a servant, he-asws knows the understanding and the knowledge’’.[147]

He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted is One, ‘Samad’ (solid), and the ‘Samad’ is a thing which has any interior for it, and rather the Spirit is a creature from His-azwj creatures having vision for it and strength and support. Allah-azwj Makes it to be in the hearts of the Messengers-as and the Momineen’’.[159]

He-asws said: ‘The souls do not mingle with the body, nor do they enter into it, but rather it is like the hull for the body, surrounding it’’.[160]
19 باب في الروح التي قال الله عز و جل يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ و هي تكون مع الأنبياء و الأوصياء و الفرق بين الروح و الملائكة
CHAPTER 19 – REGARDING THE SPIRIT WHICH ALLAH-azwj MIGHTY AND MAJESTIC SAID: He Sends down the Angels with the Spirit from His Command [16:2], AND IT HAPPENS TO BE WITH THE PROPHETS-as AND THE SUCCESSORS-asws, AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SPIRIT AND THE ANGELS
1- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلى مَنْ يَشاءُ مِنْ عِبادِهِ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Asbat, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And like that We Sent down a Spirit unto you from Our Command. You (people) did not know what the Book was, nor the Eman, but We Made it a ‘Noor’ (Light) We Guide with one We so Desire from Our servants; [42:52].
فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ الَّذِي نُزِّلَ عَلَى الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الرُّوحُ تَكُونُ مَعَهُمْ وَ مَعَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ لَا تُفَارِقُهُمْ تُفَقِّهُهُمْ وَ تُسَدِّدُهُمْ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ بِهِمَا عُبِدَ اللَّهُ وَ اسْتَعْبَدَ اللَّهُ عَلَى هَذَا الْجِنَّ وَ الْإِنْسَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ
He-asws said: ‘Jibraeel-as is the one who descended unto the Prophets-as, and the Spirit happened to be with them-as and with the successors-as, not separating from them-as and informing them from the Presence of Allah-azwj, and it is, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj’, and with these two (phrases) they-as were worshipping Allah-azwj, and the Jinn and the human and the Angels will be worshipping Allah-azwj upon this.
وَ لَمْ يَعْبُدِ اللَّهَ مَلَكٌ وَ لَا نَبِيٌّ وَ لَا إِنْسَانٌ وَ لَا جَانٌّ إِلَّا بِشَهَادَةِ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ خَلْقاً إِلَّا لِلْعِبَادَةِ.
And there did not worship Allah-azwj any Angel, nor a Prophet-as, nor a human being, nor Jinn except with the testimony that there is no god except Allah-azwj and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj did not Create any creature except for the worship’’.[161]

3- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ الْإِسْكَافِ قَالَ: أَتَى رَجُلٌ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ أَ لَيْسَ هُوَ جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع جَبْرَئِيلُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحُ غَيْرُ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ كَرَّرَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn and Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Asbat, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala, from Sa’ad Al Iskaf who said,
‘A man came to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws asking him-asws about the (Holy) Spirit, ‘Isn’t he Jibraeel-as?’ Ali-asws said to him: ‘Jibraeel-as is from the Angels, and the (Holy) Spirit is other than Jibraeel-as’, and he-asws repeated that upon the man.
فَقَالَ لَهُ لَقَدْ قُلْتَ عَظِيماً مِنَ الْقَوْلِ مَا أَحَدٌ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الرُّوحَ غَيْرُ جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع إِنَّكَ ضَالٌّ تَرْوِي عَنْ أَهْلِ الضَّلَالِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِنَبِيِّهِ ص أَتى أَمْرُ اللَّهِ فَلا تَسْتَعْجِلُوهُ سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ وَ الرُّوحُ غَيْرُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ.
He said to him-asws, ‘You-asws have said a mighty word. There is no one who claims that the Spirit is other than Jibraeel-as’. Ali-asws said to him: ‘You have strayed, reporting from the people of straying. Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted is Saying to His-azwj Prophet-saww: The Command of Allah will come, therefore do not hasten it. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [16:1] He Sends down the Angels with the Spirit [16:2] – and the Spirit is other than the Angels’’.[163]
4- حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْمُخْتَارِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَذَكَرَ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَمْرِ الْإِمَامِ إِذَا وُلِدَ قَالَ وَ اسْتَوْجَبَ زِيَارَةَ الرُّوحِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ
It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Mukhtar Bin Ziyad, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I was with Abu Abdullah-asws and there was a mention of something from the matters of the Imams-asws when he-asws is Blessed (to the world). He-asws said: ‘And the visitation of the Spirit is Obligation during the Night of Pre-determination (Laylat Al-Qadir)’.
فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَ لَيْسَ الرُّوحُ جَبْرَئِيلَ فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحُ خَلْقٌ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَ لَيْسَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ الرُّوحُ.
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Isn’t Jibraeel-as the Spirit?’ He-asws said: ‘Jibraeel-as is from the Angels, and the Spirit is a creature more magnificent than the Angels. Isn’t Allah-azwj Saying: The Angels and the Spirit descend [97:4]’’.[164]

قَالَ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يُورَثُ كُتُباً وَ لَا يُوكَلُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ يُزَادُ فِي لَيْلِهِ وَ نَهَارِهِ.

فَقَالَ فِي السَّاعَةِ الَّتِي يُقْبَضُ فِيهَا يَصِيرُ [إِلَيْهِ] عِلْمُ صَاحِبِهِ فَقَالَ هُوَ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ يُورَثُ كُتُباً وَ لَا يُوكَلُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ يُزَادُ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ
He-asws said: ‘The time in which he-asws passes away, the knowledge of his-asws companion-asws comes to him-asws. Either it, or whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. He-asws inherits Books and is not Left to himself-asws, and is increased during the night and the day’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ عِنْدَكَ تِلْكَ الْكُتُبُ وَ ذَلِكَ الْمِيرَاثُ فَقَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ أَنْظُرُ فِيهَا.
I said to him-asws, ‘Are those Books with you-asws, and that is the inheritance?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj! I-asws do look into these’’.[174]

CHAPTER 21 – REGARDING THE IMAM-asws, WHEN DOES HE-asws KNOW HE-asws IS THE (NEXT) IMAM-asws
1- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الْإِمَامِ مَتَى يَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ إِمَامٌ حِينَ يَبْلُغُهُ أَنَّ صَاحِبَهُ قَدْ مَضَى أَوْ حِينَ يَمْضِي مِثْلُ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قُبِضَ بِبَغْدَادَ وَ أَنْتَ هَاهُنَا
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Safwan Bin Yahya who said,
‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, ‘Inform me about the Imam-asws, when does he-asws know that he-asws is an Imam-asws? When it reaches him-asws that his-asws companion has passed away, or when it transpires like, Abu Al-Hassan-asws passed away at Baghdad and you-asws were over here?’
قَالَ يَعْلَمُ ذَلِكَ حِينَ يَمْضِي صَاحِبُهُ قُلْتُ بِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ يَعْلَمُ قَالَ يُلْهِمُهُ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ.
He-asws knows when his-asws companion as passed away’. I said, ‘By which thing does he-asws know?’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Inspires him that’’.[175]
2- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ قَارِنٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ رَضِيعَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ جَالِسٌ مَعَ مُؤَدِّبٍ لَهُ يُكَنَّى أَبَا زَكَرِيَّا وَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عِنْدَنَا أَنَّهُ بِبَغْدَادَ وَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ يَقْرَأُ مِنَ اللَّوْحِ عَلَى مُؤَدِّبِهِ إِذْ بَكَى بُكَاءً شَدِيداً سَأَلَهُ الْمُؤَدِّبُ مَا بُكَاؤُكَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ وَ قَالَ ائْذَنْ لِي بِالدُّخُولِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Qarin, from a man who was a brother, from breastfeeding of,
Abu Ja’far-asws who said, While Abu Al-Hassan-asws was seated with a student of his-asws teknonymed as Abu Zakariya, and Abu Ja’far-asws was with us, he-asws being at Baghdad and Abu Al-Hassan-asws recited from the tablet unto his-asws student, when he-asws cried with intense crying. The student asked him-asws, ‘What makes you-asws cry?’ But he-asws did not answer him and said: ‘Allow me-asws with the entering (a room)’. I permitted him.
فَارْتَفَعَ الصِّيَاحُ وَ الْبُكَاءُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَسَأَلْنَاهُ عَنِ الْبُكَاءِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي قَدْ تُوُفِّيَ السَّاعَةَ فَقُلْنَا بِمَا عَلِمْتَ قَالَ قَدْ دَخَلَنِي مِنْ إِجْلَالِ اللَّهِ مَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهُ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَضَى
The shrieking and the crying rose from his-asws house. Then he came out to us and we asked him-asws about the crying. He-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws has passed away this moment’. We said, ‘By what did you-asws know?’ He-asws said: ‘There entered into me from the Majesty of Allah-azwj what I-asws had not recognised before that, so I-asws knew that he-asws has passed away’.
فَتَعَرَّفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتَ مِنَ الْيَوْمِ وَ الشَّهْرِ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ مَضَى فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ.
We made a note of that time from the day, and the month, and he-asws had passed away during that time’’.[176]

فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَ كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ تَدَاخَلَنِي ذِلَّةٌ لِلَّهِ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهَا.
It was said to him-asws, ‘And how did you-asws know that?’ He-asws said: ‘(Feeling of) humbleness to Allah-azwj entered into me-asws, I-asws did not happen to recognise it (beforehand)’’.[177]
4- حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَعْنِي أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع إِنِّي طَلَّقْتُ أُمَّ فَرْوَةَ بِنْتَ إِسْحَاقَ فِي رَجَبٍ بَعْدَ مَوْتِ أَبِي بِيَوْمٍ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ طَلَّقْتَهَا وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ بِمَوْتِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ قَالَ نَعَمْ.

5- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي الْفَضْلِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي تُوُفِّيَ فِيهِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ مَضَى أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَ كَيْفَ عَرَفْتَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ تَدَاخَلَنِي ذِلَّةٌ لِلَّهِ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَعْرِفُهَا.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Al Fazl, from Haroun Bin Al Fazl,

6- حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّادُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع إِنَّهُمْ رَوَوْا عَنْكَ فِي مَوْتِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ لَكَ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ بِقَوْلِ سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ جَاءَنِي سَعِيدٌ بِمَا قَدْ كُنْتُ عَلِمْتُهُ قَبْلَ مَجِيئِهِ.
It is narrated to us by Abbad Bin Suleyman, from Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad, from Safwan bin Yahya who said,

So, Rasool-Allah-saww bequeathed the Greatest Name, and the inheritance of the knowledge, and traces of the knowledge of Prophet-hood (Ahadeeth), to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[181]
2- حَدَّثَنَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ اللُّؤْلُؤِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص نُبُوَّتَهُ وَ اسْتُكْمِلَتْ أَيَّامُهُ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ص قَدْ قَضَيْتَ نُبُوَّتَكَ وَ اسْتَكْمَلْتَ أَيَّامَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ وَ الْآثَارَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع
It is narrated to us by one of our companions, from Al Hassan Bin Al Husayn Al Luluie, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When the Prophet-hood of Rasool-Allah-saww had expired, and his-saww days were completed, Allah-azwj Revealed to him-saww: “O Muhammad-saww!

فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَقْطَعْ عِلْمَ النُّبُوَّةِ مِنَ الْعَقِبِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ كَمَا لَمْ أَقْطَعْهَا مِنْ بُيُوتَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ أَبِيكَ آدَمَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.
I-azwj will not Cut-off the knowledge of Prophet-hood from the posterity from your-saww offspring just as I-azwj did not Cut it off from the households of the Prophets-as, those who were between you-saww and your-saww father-as Adam-as!” May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-as all’’.[182]
3- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى مُحَمَّدٌ ع نُبُوَّتَهُ وَ اسْتُكْمِلَتْ أَيَّامُهُ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ نُبُوَّتَكَ وَ اسْتَكْمَلْتَ أَيَّامَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي عِنْدَكَ وَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ النُّبُوَّةِ فِي الْعَقِبِ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ كَمَا لَمْ أَقْطَعْهَا مِنْ بُيُوتَاتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ.
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazal, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly,
From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘When the Prophet-hood of Muhammad-saww expired and his-saww days were completed, Allah-azwj Revealed to him-saww: “O Muhammad-saww!

4- حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الدَّيْلَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَوْصَى مُوسَى إِلَى يُوشَعَ بْنِ نُونٍ وَ أَوْصَى يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ إِلَى وَلَدِ هَارُونَ وَ لَمْ يُوصِ إِلَى وَلَدِ مُوسَى لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ لَهُ الْخِيَرَةُ يَخْتَارُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِمَّنْ يَشَاءُ وَ بَشَّرَ مُوسَى يُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونٍ بِالْمَسِيحِ
It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ismail Bin Jabir, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Abdul Hameed Bin Abu Al Daylam,
From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Musa-as bequeathed to Yoshua Bin Noon-as, and Yoshua Bin Noon-as bequeathed to a son-as of Haroun-as and did not bequeath to a son of Musa-as because Allah-azwj Gave him-as the choice. He-as could choose one he-as so desired from the ones he-as so desired, and Musa-as gave the glad tidings of the Messiah to Yoshua Bin Noon-as.
فَلَمَّا أَنْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ الْمَسِيحَ قَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّهُ سَيَأْتِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ بَعْدِي اسْمُهُ أَحْمَدُ مِنْ وُلْدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يُصَدِّقُنِي وَ يُصَدِّقُكُمْ وَ جَرَتْ بَيْنَ الْحَوَارِيِّينَ فِي الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ وَ إِنَّمَا سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ لِأَنَّهُمُ اسْتُحْفِظُوا الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ هُوَ الْكِتَابُ الَّذِي يُعْلَمُ بِهِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ
When Allah-azwj Sent the Messiah-as, he-as said to them: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww will be coming from after me-as whose name is Ahmad-saww, being from the sons of Ismail-as. He-saww will ratify me-as and ratify you all, and it flowed between the disciples in the preservers. And rather, Allah-azwj Named them as the ‘preservers’, because they preserved the Greatest Name, and it is the Book by which are known all thing which had happened with the Prophets-as.
يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلَنا بِالْبَيِّناتِ وَ أَنْزَلْنا مَعَهُمُ الْكِتابَ وَ الْمِيزانَ الْكِتَابُ الِاسْمُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ إِنَّمَا عُرِفَ مِمَّا يُدْعَى الْعِلْمَ التَّوْرَاةُ وَ الْإِنْجِيلُ وَ الْفُرْقَانُ فَمَا كَانَ كُتُبُ نُوحٍ وَ مَا كِتَابُ صَالِحٍ وَ شُعَيْبٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ هذا لَفِي الصُّحُفِ الْأُولى صُحُفِ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ مُوسى
Allah-azwj the Exalted is Saying: We had Sent Our Rasools with the clear proofs, and We sent down the Book and the Scale with them, [57:25]. The Book is the Greatest Name, and rather it is recognised from what the is called knowledge of the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Furqan (Quran). So, what was written by Noah-as, and what were the Book of Salih-as, and Shuayb-as, and Ibrahim-as, and Allah-azwj has Informed: Surely this is in the former Parchments [87:18] The Parchments of Ibrahim and Musa [87:19].
فَأَيْنَ صُحُفُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَمَّا صُحُفُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَالاسْمُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ صُحُفُ مُوسَى الِاسْمُ الْأَكْبَرُ
So, where are the Parchments of Ibrahim-as? As for the Parchments of Ibrahim, it is the Greatest Name, and the Parchments of Musa-asws is the Greatest Name.
فَلَمْ تَزَلِ الْوَصِيَّةُ يُوصِيهَا عَالِمٌ بَعْدَ عَالِمٍ حَتَّى دَفَعُوهَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ ص ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّكَ قَدْ قَضَيْتَ نُبُوَّتَكَ وَ اسْتَكْمَلْتَ أَيَّامَكَ فَاجْعَلِ الِاسْمَ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ مِيرَاثَ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارَ النُّبُوَّةِ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ ع
So, the bequest did not cease to be bequeathed by a scholar-as to a scholar-as until it was handed to Muhammad-saww. Then Jibraeel-as came to him-saww and said to him-saww: “You-saww have spent your-saww Prophet-hood, and completed your-saww days, so make the Greatest Name, and the inheritance of knowledge, and the effects of Prophet-hood to be with Ali-asws.
فَإِنِّي لَا أَتْرُكُ الْأَرْضَ إِلَّا وَ لِي فِيهَا عَالِمٌ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ طَاعَتِي وَ يُعْرَفُ بِهِ وَلَايَتِي فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةً لِمَنْ وُلِدَ بَيْنَ قَبْضِ نَبِيٍّ إِلَى خُرُوجِ آخَرَ فَأَوْحَى بِالاسْمِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ مِيرَاثِ الْعِلْمِ وَ آثَارِ عِلْمِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع.
I-azwj do not leave the earth except and there would be a scholar-as in it for Me-azwj, My-azwj obedience would be recognised by him-as, and My-azwj Wilayah would be recognised by him-as, and he-as would happen to be a Divine Authority for the ones to be born between the expiry of a Prophet-as up to the emergence of another. Thus, Transfer the Greatest Name, and the inheritance of knowledge, and the traces of knowledge of Prophet-hood (Ahadeeth) to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws”’.[184]
