[في قول رسول اللّه صلى اللّه عليه و آله و سلّم أول عنوان صحيفة المؤمن ما يقول الناس فيه إن خيرا فخير و إن شرا فشر.]
Regarding the words of Rasool-Allah-saww: ‘The first heading of the parchment of the Momin is what would the people are saying regarding him. If good, so good, and if evil, so evil’.
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ فِي الرَّيِّ سَنَةِ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ إِمْلَاءً فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ شَرِيفِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh in Al Rayy during the year five hundred and ten, by my reading upon it, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, dictating during Jumai Al Akhira of the year four hundred and fifty five, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al Nu’man, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiyah, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Shareed Bin Sabiq, from Abu Al Abbas Al Fazl Bin Abdul Malik,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: أَوَّلُ عُنْوَانِ صَحِيفَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فِيهِ إِنْ خَيْراً فَخَيْراً وَ إِنْ شَرّاً فَشَرّاً وَ أَقَلُّ تُحْفَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ لِمَنْ تَبِعَ جَنَازَتَهُ
From Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The first heading of the parchment of the Momin is what the people are saying regarding him. If good, so good, and if evil, so evil; and the least of the gifts for the Momin is that Allah-azwj would Forgive for him and for the ones who followed his funeral’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فَضْلُ لَا يَأْتِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَبِيلَةٍ إِلَّا وَافِدُهَا وَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ إِلَّا نَجِيبُهَا يَا فَضْلُ لَا يَرْجِعُ صَاحِبُ الْمَسْجِدِ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ إِمَّا دُعَاءٍ يَدْعُو بِهِ يُدْخِلُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ إِمَّا دُعَاءٍ يَدْعُو بِهِ يَصْرِفُ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنْهُ بَلَاءَ الدُّنْيَا وَ إِمَّا أَخٍ يَسْتَفِيدُهُ فِي اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
Then he-asws said: ‘O Fazl! None would come to the Masjid from every tribe except for its delegate, and from every family except for its excellent one. O Fazl! The companion of the Masjid would not be returning with less than one of the three – either a supplication he supplicated with, Allah-azwj would Enter him into the Paradise due to it; or a supplication he supplicated with, Allah-azwj would Turn an affliction for the world away from him; or a brother who would benefit him for the Sake of Allah-azwj, the Exalted’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا اسْتَفَادَ امْرُؤٌ فَائِدَةً بَعْدَ فَائِدَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ مِثْلَ أَخٍ يَسْتَفِيدُهُ فِي اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
He-asws said: ‘Then Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘A person cannot benefit with a benefit after Al-Islam like a brother who benefits him for the Sake of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فَضْلُ لَا تَزْهَدُوا فِي فُقَرَاءِ شِيعَتِنَا فَإِنَّ الْفَقِيرَ مِنْهُمْ لَيَشْفَعُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فِي مِثْلِ رَبِيعَةَ وَ مُضَرَ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Fazl! Do not be abstaining regarding the poor of our-asws Shias, for the poor from them would be interceding on the Day of Qiyamah regarding the likes of (the people of the tribes of) Rabi’e and Muzar’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فَضْلُ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ الْمُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِناً لِأَنَّهُ يُؤْمِنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَيُجِيزُ اللَّهُ أَمَانَهُ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Fazl! But rather, the Momin has been named as ‘Momin’ because he believes (Eman) in Allah-azwj Allah-azwj would Authorise his security’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ فِي أَعْدَائِكُمْ إِذَا رَأَوْا شَفَاعَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ لِصَدِيقِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَما لَنا مِنْ شافِعِينَ وَ لا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ؟.
Then he-asws said: ‘Have you not heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying regarding your enemies? When they would be seeing the intercession of a man from you on the Day of Qiyamah, (they would be saying): So, there is none for us from the intercessors [26:100] Nor an intimate friend [26:101]?’’.[1]
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الشَّيْخِ الْمُفِيدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَرَاغِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ السَّلِيقِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ صَالِحُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي مُقَاتِلٍ الْبَزَّازُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِيُّ الْحَدَّادُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعُرَنِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ قَالَ:
And by this chain, from the Sheykh Al Mufeed Bin Al Numan, from Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Al Naraghy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Salih Al Saleyqi, from Abu Al-Husayn Salih Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Muqatil Al Bazzaz, from Isa Bin Abdul Rahman Al Kufy Al Hadda, from Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Al Urny, from Yahya Bni Ali Al Hamdany, from Aban Bin Taghlub, from Abu Dawood Al Ansary, from Al Haris Al Hamdany who said,
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ يَا حَارِثُ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ أَمَا لَوْ بَلَغَتْ نَفْسُكَ الْحُلْقُومَ رَأَيْتَنِي حَيْثُ تُحِبُّ وَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَ أَنَا أَذُودُ الرِّجَالَ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ ذَوْدَ غَرِيبَةِ الْإِبِلِ رَأَيْتَنِي حَيْثُ تُحِبُّ وَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَنِي وَ أَنَا مَارٌّ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ وَ بِيَدِي لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص رَأَيْتَنِي حَيْثُ تُحِبُّ.
‘I went over to Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he-asws said: ‘O Haris!’ I said, ‘Yes, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’ He-asws said: ‘But, if your soul reaches the throat, you will see me-asws where you would love (to be). And if you see me-asws and I-asws am pushing people away from the Fountain like pushing away the strange camel, you will see me-asws where you would love (to be). And if you-asws see me-asws and I-asws passing upon the Bridge and in my-asws hand is the Flag of Praise (لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ) in front of Rasool-Allah-saww, you will see me-asws where you would love (to be)’’.[2]

From Abu Ja’far-asws, said, ‘I said to him-asws at Makkah or at Mina, ‘Son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! How numerous are the Pilgrims’. He-asws said: ‘How few are the Pilgrims. Allah-azwj will not Forgive except for you and for your companions, and He-azwj will not Accept except from you and from your companions’.[3]
[دعاء الرسول (ص) من أحبني فارزقه العفاف و الكفاف. و من أبغضني فأكثر ماله و ولده.]
The supplication of the Rasool-saww: ‘The one who loves me-saww, so his sustenance would be the chastity and the subsistence, and the one who hates me-saww, so his wealth and his children would be abundant’.
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الطُّوسِيُّ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي سَنَةِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ الْمُظَفَّرُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عِصَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ:

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي فَارْزُقْهُ الْعَفَافَ وَ الْكَفَافَ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنِي فَأَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَ وُلْدَهُ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The who loves me-saww, so his sustenance would be the chastity and the subsistence, and the one who hates me-saww, so his wealth and his children would be abundant’’.[4]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطُّوسِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْمَرَاغِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْلَى عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْخَوْلَانِيِّ عَنْ زَاذَانَ قَالَ

I heard Salaman-as saying, ‘I-as have not ceased to love Ali-asws, for I-as saw Rasool-Allah-saww strike his-asws thigh and he-saww was saying: ‘The one who loves you-as has love for me-saww, and love for Allah-azwj, and the one who hates you-as, hates me-saww and is an adversary of Allah-azwj with a hatred’.[5]

It was informed to us by the trustworthy Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Shahriyay Al Khazin, by my reading upon it at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, during Shawwal of the year five hundred and twelve, dictated upon us by Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al Bursy, from Abu Tahir Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn al Qurshy Al Moaddil, from Abu Abdullah Ahmad Bin Ahmad Bin Humran Al Asady, from Abu Ahmad Is’haq Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Al Muqry, from Abdullah, from Ubeydillah Bin Muhammad Bin Al Ayadi, from Umar Bin Mudrik, from Yahya Bin Ziyad Al Malky, from Jareyr Bin Abdul Hameed, from Al Amsh, from Atiya Al Awfy who said,
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ زَائِرَيْنِ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَلَمَّا وَرَدْنَا كَرْبَلَاءَ دَنَا جَابِرٌ مِنْ شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ فَاغْتَسَلَ ثُمَّ اتَّزَرَ بِإِزَارٍ وَ ارْتَدَى بِآخَرَ ثُمَّ فَتَحَ صُرَّةً فِيهَا سُعْدٌ فَنَثَرَهَا عَلَى بَدَنِهِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَخْطُ خُطْوَةً إِلَّا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى حَتَّى إِذَا دَنَا مِنَ الْقَبْرِ قَالَ أَلْمِسْنِيهِ فَأَلْمَسْتُهُ فَخَرَّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ مَغْشِيّاً عَلَيْهِ فَرَشَشْتُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْمَاءِ
‘I went out along with Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansary visiting the grave of Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. When we arrived at Karbala, Jabir went near to the banks of the Euphrates and washed. Then he wore a loin cloth and covered it with another one (as a robe). Then he opened a bag wherein was perfume, and he applied it upon his body. Then he did not take a step except he mentioned Allah-azwj the Exalted until when he was close to the grave, he said, ‘Touch it’. I touched it. He fell upon the grave fainting upon it. I sprinkled some water upon him.
فَلَمَّا أَفَاقَ قَالَ يَا حُسَيْنُ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ قَالَ حَبِيبٌ لَا يُجِيبُ حَبِيبَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ أَنَّى لَكَ بِالْجَوَابِ وَ قَدْ شُحِطَتْ أَوْدَاجُكَ عَلَى أَثْبَاجِكَ وَ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَ بَدَنِكَ وَ رَأْسِكَ
When he woke up, he said, ‘O Husayn-asws!’. Then he said, ‘A beloved is not answering his-asws beloved?’. Then he said, ‘And in what way would the answer be for you-asws, and your-asws blood flowed upon your-asws (Holy body) parts, and there was separation between your-asws body and your-asws head?
فَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ ابْنُ خَاتِمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ ابْنُ سَيِّدِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ ابْنُ حَلِيفِ التَّقْوَى وَ سَلِيلُ الْهُدَى وَ خَامِسُ أَصْحَابِ الْكِسَاءِ وَ ابْنُ سَيِّدِ النُّقَبَاءِ وَ ابْنُ فَاطِمَةَ سَيِّدَةِ النِّسَاءِ وَ مَا لَكَ لَا تَكُونُ هَكَذَا وَ قَدْ غَذَّتْكَ كَفُّ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ رُبِّيتَ فِي حَجْرِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ رَضَعْتَ مِنْ ثَدْيِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ فُطِمْتَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ
I testify that you-asws are a son-asws of the Last of the Prophets-as, and a son-asws of the Chief of the Momineen, and a son-asws of the confederate of piety, and an offspring of Guidance, and one of the five of the companions of the Cloak, and a son-asws of the Chief of the Captains, and a son-asws of (Syeda) Fatima-asws Chieftess of the women. And how can you-asws not happen to be like that and the palm of the Chief of the Messengers-as fed you-asws, and you-asws were nourished in the laps of the pious, and breastfed from the breast of Eman, and were weaned by Al-Islam.
فَطِبْتَ حَيّاً وَ طِبْتَ مَيِّتاً غَيْرَ أَنَّ قُلُوبَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ غَيْرُ طَيِّبَةٍ لِفِرَاقِكَ وَ لَا شَاكَّةٍ فِي الْخِيَرَةِ لَكَ فَعَلَيْكَ سَلَامُ اللَّهِ وَ رِضْوَانُهُ َ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ مَضَيْتَ عَلَى مَا مَضَى عَلَيْهِ أَخُوكَ يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا
You-asws were Blessed (when) alive, and Blessed (when) deceased, apart for it, the hearts of the Momineen are not Blessed due to your-asws separation, nor are they sceptical regarding the goodness for you-asws. The Greetings of Allah-azwj be upon you-asws, and His-azwj Pleasure. And I testify that you-asws went upon what your-asws brother Yahya Bin Zakariyya-as went upon’.
و ثُمَّ جَالَ بَصَرَهُ حَوْلَ الْقَبْرِ وَ قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَيَّتُهَا الْأَرْوَاحُ الَّتِي حَلَّتْ بِفِنَاءِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ أَنَاخَتْ بِرَحْلِهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكُمْ أَقَمْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتُمُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ أَمَرْتُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ نَهَيْتُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ جَاهَدْتُمُ الْمُلْحِدِينَ وَ عَبَدْتُمُ اللَّهَ حَتَّى أَتَاكُمُ الْيَقِينُ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّداً بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَقَدْ شَارَكْنَاكُمْ فِيمَا دَخَلْتُمْ فِيهِ
Then he circled his sight around the grave and said, ‘The greetings be upon you-asws, O you souls which fell by the courtyard of Al-Husayn-asws, and knelt by his-asws departure. And I testify that you all established the Salat and gave the Zakat, and enjoined with the good and forbade from the evil, and you fought the apostates, and worshipped Allah-azwj until the certainty came. By the One-azwj Who Sent Muhammad-saww with the Truth, we are participants in what you entered into’.
قَالَ عَطِيَّةُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا جَابِرُ كَيْفَ وَ لَمْ نَهْبِطْ وَادِياً وَ لَمْ نَعْلُ جَبَلًا وَ لَمْ نَضْرِبْ بِسَيْفٍ وَ الْقَوْمُ قَدْ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَ رُءُوسِهِمْ وَ أَبْدَانِهِمْ وَ أُوتِمَتْ أَوْلَادُهُمْ وَ أَرْمَلَتْ أَزْوَاجُهُمْ؟ فَقَالَ يَا عَطِيَّةُ سَمِعْتُ حَبِيبِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ قَوْماً حُشِرَ مَعَهُمْ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَمَلَ قَوْمٍ أُشْرِكَ فِي عَمَلِهِمْ
Atiyya said, ‘I said to him, ‘O Jabir! How (can that be), and we have not descended into a valley and we did not climb a mountain and we did not strike with a sword, while the people, their heads were separated from their bodies, and their children were orphaned, and their wives were widowed?’ He said, ‘O Atiyya! I heard my beloved Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘The one who loves a people would be Resurrected along with them, and the one who loves a deed of the people is a participant in their deed’.
وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّداً بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً أَنَّ نِيَّتِي وَ نِيَّةَ أَصْحَابِي عَلَى مَا مَضَى عَلَيْهِ الْحُسَيْنُ ع وَ أَصْحَابُهُ خُذْنِي نَحْوَ إلى أَبْيَاتِ كُوفَانَ
By the One-azwj Who Sent Muhammad-saww with the Truth as a Prophet-saww! My intention and the intention of my companion is what Al-Husayn-asws and his-asws companions went upon. Take me to the site of Abyaat Kowfaan’.
فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا فِي بَعْضِ الطَّرِيقِ قَالَ يَا عَطِيَّةَ هَلْ أُوصِيكَ وَ مَا أَظُنُّ أَنَّنِي بَعْدَ هَذِهِ السَّفْرَةِ مُلَاقِيكَ أَحْبِبْ مُحِبَّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص مَا أَحَبَّهُمْ وَ أَبْغِضْ مُبْغِضَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَا أَبْغَضَهُمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ صَوَّاماً قَوَّاماً وَ ارْفُقْ بِمُحِبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ تَزِلَّ لَهُ قَدَمٌ بِكَثْرَةِ ذُنُوبِهِ ثَبَتَتْ لَهُ أُخْرَى بِمَحَبَّتِهِمْ فَإِنَّ مُحِبَّهُمْ يَعُودُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ مُبْغِضَهُمْ يَعُودُ إِلَى النَّارِ.
When we came to be in one of the roads, he said, ‘O Atiyya! Shall I advise to you, and I don’t think that after this journey I shall be meeting you (again)? Love the one who loves the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww what I love them, and hate the one who hates the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww what I hate them, and even if he was Fasting, standing (for) Salat; and be kind with the one who loves Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, for it is such that his foot will not waver due to the abundance of his sins, the other one would be affirmed for him due to his love for them-asws, returning him to the Paradise, and the one who hates them-as would be returning to the Fire’’.[6]

‘Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Split the seed and Created the person! It is a Covenant of the Ummy Prophet-saww to me-asws that: ‘None would love you-asws except for a Momin, nor hate you-asws except for a hypocrite’.[8]

From Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, said, ‘I heard him-asws saying to Khayzama: ‘O Khaysama! Convey the greetings from me-asws to our-asws friends and advise them with the fear of Allah-azwj the Magnificent, and that their living ones should attend the funerals of their dead ones, and that they should meet each other in their houses, for in their meetings is the revival of our-asws matter’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَهُ ع فَقَالَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَحْيَا أَمْرَنَا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws raised his-asws hand and he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Have Mercy on the one who revives our-asws matter!’[9]

And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from the noble Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibrahim Bin Ali, and Al-Hassan Bin Yahya, altogether, from Nasr Bin Muzahim, from Abu Khalid Al Wasity,
عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: كَانَ لِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَشْرٌ لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي وَ لَا يُعْطَاهُنَّ أَحَدٌ بَعْدِي
From Zayd, son of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘There were ten (things) for me-asws from Rasool-Allah-saww, which he-saww did not give those to anyone before me-asws nor did he-saww give those to anyone after me-asws.
قَالَ لِي أَنْتَ أَخِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَخِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَنْتَ أَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ مِنِّي مَوْقِفاً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ مَنْزِلِي وَ مَنْزِلُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مُتَوَاجِهَيْنِ كَمِثْلِ الْأَخَوَيْنِ وَ أَنْتَ الْوَصِيُّ وَ أَنْتَ الْوَلِيُّ وَ أَنْتَ الْوَزِيرُ عَدُوُّكَ عَدُوِّي وَ عَدُوِّي عَدُوُّ اللَّهِ وَ وَلِيُّكَ وَلِيِّي وَ وَلِيِّي وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ.
He-saww said to me: ‘You-asws are my-saww brother in the world and the Hereafter, and you-asws are the closest of the people from me-saww pausing on the Day of Qiyamah, and my-saww house and your-asws house in the Paradise are facing each other like the two brothers, and you-asws are my-saww successor, and you-asws are the my-saww Guardian, and you-asws are the Vizier. Your-asws enemy is my-saww enemy, and my-saww enemy is the enemy of Allah-azwj, and your-asws friend is my-saww friend and my-saww friend is a friend of Allah-azwj’’.[10]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, at Al Rayy, by my reading upon it, during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Tooasy, during Jamadi Al Akhira of the year four hundred and fifty five, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harsy, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, whom Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from his father, from the one who reported it, from Dawood Al Raqqy who said,
قَالَ الْبَاقِرُ ع: مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ
Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘The one who visits (performs the Ziyarat of) Al-Husayn-asws on the night of the middle of Shaban, his sins would be Forgiven for him’.
وَ فِي الْأَمَالِي: وَ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ لَهُ سَيِّئَةٌ فِي سَنَتِهِ حَتَّى يَحُولَ عَلَيْهِ السَّنَةُ فَإِنْ زَارَ فِي السَّنَةِ الْمُسْتَقْبَلَةِ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ.
And in Al-Amaaly, ‘And a sin would not be Written for him during the year until the year turns upon him. If he visits (performs Ziyarat) during the next year, his sins would be Forgiven for him (again)’.[11]
إِحَالَةٌ عَلَى الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ
Referring to the mentioned book, he said, ‘Muhammad Bin Muslim narrated to us saying,
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع: أَنَّ الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ مُعَسْكَرِهِ وَ مَنْ حَلَّهُ مِنَ الشُّهَدَاءِ مَعَهُ وَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى زُوَّارِهِ وَ هُوَ أَعْرَفُ بِهِمْ وَ بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ وَ أَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَ بِدَرَجَاتِهِمْ وَ مَنْزِلَتِهِمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ بِوُلْدِهِ
‘I heard Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws (saying): ‘Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, in the Presence of his-asws Lord-azwj, is looking at the place of his-asws camp and the ones who were martyred with him-asws, and he-asws looks at his-asws visitor, and he-asws is more recognising of them and the names of their fathers, and by their levels in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, than one of you is with his children.
وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَرَى مَنْ يَبْكِيهِ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ وَ يَسْأَلُ آبَاءَهُ ع أَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا وَ يَقُولُ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ زَائِرِي مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ كَانَ فَرَحُهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ جَزَعِهِ وَ إِنَّ زَائِرَهُ لَيَنْقَلِبُ وَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ.
And he-asws sees the one who weeps for him-asws, so he-asws seeks Forgiveness for him and asks his-asws forefathers-asws that they-asws should seek Forgiveness, and he-asws saying: ‘If my-asws visitor knew what Allah-azwj has Prepared for him, his happiness would be more than his sorrow’, and his-asws visitor would be overturned and whatever is upon him from the sins (to be transformed into good deeds)’.[12]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ الْمَذْكُورِ فِي السَّنَةِ الْمَذْكُورَةِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجِعَابِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ طَارِقٍ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist, Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it in the mentioned location, during the mentioned year, from Al Saeed Al Walid AbuJa’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, fro mAhmad Bin Saeed Al Hamdany, from Al Abbas Bin Bakr, from Muhammad Bin Zakariyya, fro Kaseyr Bin Tariq who said,
سَأَلْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُوراً واحِداً وَ ادْعُوا ثُبُوراً كَثِيراً قَالَ زَيْدٌ يَا كَثِيرُ إِنَّكَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ وَ لَسْتَ مِنْهُمْ وَ إِنِّي خَائِفٌ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُ
I asked Zayd, son of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: Do not call for one destruction today, and call for many destructions! [25:14]. Zayd said, ‘O Kaseyr! You are a righteous man and aren’t from them, and I am afraid upon you that you would be destroyed.
إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِأَتْبَاعِ كُلِّ إِمَامٍ جَائِرٍ إِلَى النَّارِ فَيَدْعُونَ بِالْوَيْلِ وَ الثُّبُورِ وَ يَقُولُونَ لِإِمَامِهِمْ يَا مَنْ أَهْلَكَنَا هَلُمَّ الْآنَ فَخَلِّصْنَا مِمَّا نَحْنُ فِيهِ
When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Allah-azwj the Exalted would Command with the follower of every tyrannous imam (leader) to the Fire. They would be calling with the woe and the destruction, and they would be saying to their imams (leaders), ‘O one who destroyed us! Come with us now so we can be finished from what we are in!’
فَعِنْدَهَا يُقَالُ لَهُمْ لَا تَدْعُوا الْيَوْمَ ثُبُوراً وَ ادْعُوا كَثِيراً
Thus, during that it would be said to them: Do not call for one destruction today, and call for many destructions! [25:14]’’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَ أَصْحَابُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ يَا عَلِيُّ وَ أَتْبَاعُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ.
Then Zaid, son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws) said, ‘My father-asws narrated to me, from his-asws father-asws Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws: ‘You-asws, O Ali-asws, and your-asws companions would be in the Paradise. O Ali-asws! And your-asws followers would be in the Paradise’’.[13]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist, Abu Al Najam Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab Bin Isa Al Razy, by my reading upon it, during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Al Sheykh Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Neyshapoury, from Abu Ali Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al Hafiz by his reading upon it, from Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Ahmad reading upon it, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Mugheira and Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khash’amy, from Muhammad Bin Bahloul Al Abdy,

From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘My-asws father-asws Al-Husayn Bin Ali-asws said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When I-saww was Ascended with to the sky and was ended with to the Veils of Light, my-saww Lord-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Spoke to me-saww and Said to me-saww: “O Muhammad-saww!

فَإِيَّاهُ فَلْيُطِيعُوا وَ لِأَمْرِهِ فَلْيَأْتَمِرُوا وَ عَنْ نَهْيِهِ فَلْيَنْتَهُوا أَجْعَلُهُمْ عِنْدِي فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ وَ أُبِيحُ لَهُمْ جِنَانِي وَ إِنْ لَا يَفْعَلُوا أَسْكَنْتُهُمْ نَارِي مَعَ الْأَشْقِيَاءِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي ثُمَّ لَا أُبَالِي.
Therefore, let them obey him-asws, and to his-asws orders they should be enjoining, and from his-asws forbiddances they should be forbidding. I-azwj shall Make them to be in a truthful sitting and for them I-azwj shall Permit My Gardens; and if they do not do so, I-azwj shall Settle them in My-azwj Fire along with the unfortunate ones from My-azwj servants, then I-azwj will not Care”’.[14]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, imam, chief of the ascetics Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, by my reading upon it at Al Rayy during the year five hundred and ten, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan al Toosy, dictated at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws during Jamadi Al Akhar of the year four hundred and fifty five, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, by his chain,
عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اكْتُبْ مَا أُمْلِي عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص أَ وَ تَخَافُ عَلَيَ النِّسْيَانَ؟
From Al-Baqir-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Amir Al-Momineen-asws: ‘Write what I-asws am dictating to you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! Are you fearing upon me-asws of the forgetfulness?’
قَالَ لَسْتُ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ النِّسْيَانَ وَ قَدْ دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ لَكَ بِحِفْظِكَ وَ لَا يُنْسِيكَ وَ لَكِنِ اكْتُبْ لِشُرَكَائِكَ فَقُلْتُ وَ مَنْ شُرَكَائِي يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص؟
He-saww said: ‘It isn’t that I-saww am fearing upon you-asws of the forgetfulness, and I-saww have already supplicated to Allah-azwj for you-asws with your-asws memory and you-asws will not be forgetting. But, write for your-asws associates’. I-asws said: ‘And who are my-asws associates, O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj?’
قَالَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ تُسْقَى بِهِمْ أُمَّتِي الْغَيْثَ وَ بِهِمْ يُسْتَجَابُ دُعَاؤُهُمْ وَ بِهِمْ يَصْرِفُ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الْبَلَاءَ وَ بِهِمْ تَنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَةُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ
He-saww said: ‘The Imams-asws from your-asws sons-asws. My-saww community would be quenched from the rain by them-asws, and by them-asws their supplications would be Answered, and by them-asws Allah-azwj would Turn the afflictions away from them-asws, and by them-asws the Mercy will descend from the sky’.

And he-saww gestured by his-saww hand towards Al-Hassan-asws and he-saww said: ‘This is the first of them-asws’, and he-saww gestured by his-saww hand towards Al-Husayn-asws and said: ‘The Imams-asws (who would follow after these two Imams-asws) from his-asws sons-asws’’.[15]

Poem of Abu Nawas Al-Raiya regarding the laudation of Al-Reza-asws
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْأَمِينُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ شَهْرِيَارَ الْخَازِنُ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عِنْدَ بَابِ الْوَدَاعِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الدُّرُوسِيُّ بِالْمَشْهَدِ الْمُقَدَّسِ بِالْغَرِيِّ عَلَى سَاكِنِهِ السَّلَامُ فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعَمِائَةٍ وَ هُوَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى مَكَّةَ لِلْحَجِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ السَّعِيدُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ يَاسِرٍ الْخَادِمِ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the trustworthy Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Shahriya Al Khazin, during Zil Qadah of the year five hundred and twelve, reading upon it at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws at the Door of Farewell, from Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al Abbas Al Dorousy at the Holy Location at Al Ghary, greetings be upon its dwellers, during Shaban of the year four hundred and fifty eight, and he was heading to Makkah for the Hajj, from Abu Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Al Saeed Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, from His father, from Ali Bin Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from his father Ibrahim Bin Hashi, from Yasir Al Khadim who said,
لَمَّا جَعَلَ الْمَأْمُونُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع وَلِيَّ عَهْدِهِ وَ ضُرِبَتِ الدَّرَاهِمُ بِاسْمِهِ وَ خُطِبَ لَهُ عَلَى الْمَنَابِرِ قَصَدَهُ الشُّعَرَاءُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْآفَاقِ فَكَانَ فِي جُمْلَتِهِمْ أَبُو نُوَاسٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ هَانِي فَمَدَحَهُ كُلُّ شَاعِرٍ بِمَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا أَبُو نُوَاسٍ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَقُلْ فِيهِ شَيْئاً
‘When Al-Mamoun made Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws as his crown prince, and struck the Dirham with his-asws name, and addressed to him-asws upon the Pulpit, the poets came to him from the entirety of the outskirts. There was in their midst, Abu Nawas Al-Hassan Bin Hany. Every poet lauded him-asws with whatever was with him except for Abu Nawas, as he did not say anything regarding him-asws.
فَعَاتَبَهُ الْمَأْمُونُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا نُوَاسٍ أَنْتَ مَعَ تَشَيُّعِكَ وَ مَيْلِكَ إِلَى أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ تَرَكْتَ مَدْحَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا مَعَ اجْتِمَاعِ خِصَالِ الْخَيْرِ فِيهِ
Al-Mamoun reproached him and said to him, ‘O Abu Nawas! You, with your adhering and your inclination towards the People-asws of the Household, are neglecting the laudation of Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws, with the gathering of the good qualities being in him-asws?’
فَأَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ
| قِيلَ لِي أَنْتَ أَشْعَرُ النَّاسِ طُرّاً | إِذْ تَفَوَّهْتَ بِالْكَلَامِ الْبَدِيهِيِ | |
| لَكَ مِنْ جَوْهَرِ الْقَرِيضِ مَدِيحٌ | يُثْمِرُ الدُّرَّ فِي يَدَيْ مُجْتَنِيهِ | |
| فَعَلَامَ تَرَكْتَ مَدْحَ ابْنِ مُوسَى | وَ الْخِصَالَ الَّتِي تَجَمَّعْنَ فِيهِ | |
| قُلْتُ لَا أَهْتَدِي لِمَدْحِ إِمَامٍ | كَانَ جَبْرَئِيلُ خَادِماً لِأَبِيهِ | |
| قَصُرَتْ أَلْسُنُ الْفَصَاحَةِ عَنْهُ | وَ لِهَذَا الْقَرِيضِ لَا يَحْتَوِيهِ |
He composed saying, ‘You said to me, intervene in the poems of the people, when it goes without saying the uttered words, to you from the essence of the praise, the praise would bear fruit of gems in my hands. Therefore know, I neglected the laudation of Ibn Musa-asws and the qualities which are gathered in him-asws, I said, ‘I am not Guided to the laudation of an Imam-asws, Jibraeel-as was a servant of his-asws father-asws. My tongue would fail in the eloquence about him-asws, and due to this, the poetry would not add to it’.
قَالَ فَدَعَا بِحَقِّهِ لُؤْلُؤاً فَحَشَا فَاهُ لُؤْلُؤاً وَ هَكَذَا فَعَلَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ هَامَانَ لَمَّا جَلَسَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى ع فِي الدَّسْتِ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ هَامَانَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى وَ أَهْلِ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘So he (Al-Mamoun) called for the pearls to be for him and filled his mouth with pears, and like this is what he did with Ali Bin Haman when Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws was seated in the seat of honour. He said to him, ‘O Ali Bin Hamman! What are you saying regarding Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws and the People-asws of this Household?’
فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا أَقُولُ فِي طِينَةٍ عُجِنَتْ بِمَاءِ الْحَيَوَانِ وَ غُرِس بِمَاءِ الْوَحْيِ وَ الرِّسَالَةِ هَلْ يَنْفَحُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا رَائِحَةُ التُّقَى وَ عَنْبَرُ الْهُدَى فَحَشَا أَيْضاً فَاهُ لُؤْلُؤاً
He said, ‘O commander of the faithful! What can I be saying regarding the clay kneaded with the water of Haywaan (river of Paradise), and planted with the waters of the Revelation and the Message? Can one breathe from it except for the aroma of piety and the ambergris of Guidance?’ He filled his mouth with pearls as well.
قَالَ يَاسِرٌ خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع مِنْ دَارِ الْمَأْمُونِ رَاكِباً بَغْلَةً فَارِهَةً بِمَرَاكِبَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ فَاخِرَةٌ وَ كَانَ الرِّضَا ع أَشْبَهَ النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ كُلُّ مَنْ رَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي الْمَنَامِ رَآهُ فِي صُورَتِهِ
Yasser said, ‘Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws came out to us from the house of Al-Mamoun, riding a luxurious mule with an excellent carriage, and upon him-asws were deluxe clothing, and it was so that Al-Reza-asws was the most resembling of the people with Rasool-Allah-saww, and everyone who saw Rasool-Allah-saww in the dream, saw him-saww in his-asws image.
فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ أَبُو نُوَاسٍ فِي الدِّهْلِيزِ فَأَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ
| مُطَهَّرُونَ نَقِيَّاتٌ جُيُوبُهُمْ | تَجْرِي الصَّلَاةُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَيْنَمَا ذُكِرُوا | |
| مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَوِيّاً حِينَ تَنْسُبُهُ | فَمَا لَهُ فِي قَدِيمِ الدَّهْرِ مُفْتَخَرٌ | |
| اللَّهُ لَمَّا بَرَأَ خَلْقاً فَأَتْقَنَهُ | صَفَاكُمْ وَ اصْطَفَاكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْبَشَرُ | |
| فَأَنْتُمُ الْمَلَأُ الْأَعْلَى وَ عِنْدَكُمْ | عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ وَ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ السُّوَرُ |
Abu Nawas welcomed him-asws in the corridor and prosed saying, ‘The Purified ones-asws, clean are their-asws pockets. The Salawaat flows upon them-asws whenever they-asws are mentioned. The one who does not happen to be high when he is attributing him-asws, so there is no pride for him during the old age. When Allah-azwj Exonerated the creatures He-azwj perfected it in your-asws description, and Chose you-asws, O you-asws mortal. So you are the High Council and with you-asws is the Knowledge of the Book and whatever the Chapters came with’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرِّضَا ع يَا حَسَنَ بْنَ هَانِي قَدْ قُلْتَ أَبْيَاتاً لَمْ تُسْبَقْ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا فَأَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ جَزَاكَ
Al-Reza-asws said to him: ‘O Hassan Bin Hany! You have said proses the likes of which have not preceded, therefore Allah-azwj will Recompense you goodly’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِغُلَامِهِ كَمْ مَعَنَا مِنَ النَّفَقَةِ قَالَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ قَالَ احْمِلْهَا إِلَى أَبِي نُوَاسٍ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ الْغُلَامُ قَالَ لَهُ يَا غُلَامُ لَعَلَّهُ اسْتَقَلَّهَا سُقْ إِلَيْهِ الْبَغْلَةَ.
Then he-asws said to his-asws servant: ‘How much is there with us for the expenditure money?’ He said, ‘Three hundred Dinars’. He-asws said: ‘Carry it to Abu Nawas’. When the servant returned, he-asws said to him: ‘O servant! Perhaps it was too little. Usher the mule to him’’.[16]

If a servant comes on the Day of Qiyamah with the deeds of seventy Prophets-as, Allah-azwj will not Accept that from him until he meets Him-azwj with my-saww Wilayah and the Wilayah of the People-asws of my-saww Household’’.[17]
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ:
And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Hamza, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Walid, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Walid,
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي زَمَنِ بَنِي مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ مِمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ؟ قُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبُلْدَانِ أَكْثَرُ مُحِبّاً لَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ لَا سِيَّمَا هَذِهِ الْعِصَابَةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هَدَاكُمْ لِأَمْرٍ جَهِلَهُ النَّاسُ فَأَحْبَبْتُمُونَا وَ أَبْغَضَنَا النَّاسُ وَ تَابَعْتُمُونَا وَ خَالَفَنَا النَّاسُ وَ صَدَّقْتُمُونَا وَ كَذَّبَنَا النَّاسُ فَأَحْيَاكُمُ اللَّهُ مَحْيَانَا وَ أَمَاتَكُمْ مَمَاتَنَا
We went over to Abu Abdullah-asws in the era of the Clan of Marwan, so he-asws said: ‘Where are you from?’ We said, From the people of Al-Kufa’. He-asws said: ‘There are no inhabitants of a city more loving to us-asws than the people of Al Kufa, especially these tribes. Allah-azwj Guided you all to a matter people are ignorant of, thus you all are loving us-asws and the people are hating us-asws, and you are following us-asws and the people are opposing us-asws, and you are ratifying us-asws and the people are belying us-asws. May Allah-azwj Make you to live our-asws lives and Cause you to die our-asws expiries.
فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا بَيْنَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ أَنْ يَرَى مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ عَيْنُهُ أَوْ يَغْتَبِطَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَبْلُغَ نَفْسُهُ هَاهُنَا وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي كِتَابِهِ وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَزْواجاً فَنَحْنُ ذُرِّيَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.
I testify upon my-asws father-asws that he-asws was saying: ‘There is not between one of you and him seeing what would delight his eyes or exultation, except the reaching of his soul over here!’ and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand towards his throat – ‘And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majesticy Said in His-azwj Book: And We had Sent Rasools from before you and We Made wives and offspring to be for them. [13:38]. So we-asws are the offspring of Rasool-Allah-saww’.[18]
[قول النبي أنا سيد النبيين و وصيي سيد الوصيين إلخ.]
The words of the Prophet-saww: ‘I-saww am the Chief of the Prophets-as, and my-saww successor-asws is the Chief of the successors-as’, etc.
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْإِمَامُ الزَّاهِدُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمِّي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمِّي الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ الْقُمِّيُّ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْمُتَوَكِّلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the imam of the ascetics, Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Babuwayh, from his uncled Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Abu Al-Hassan Bin Al Husan Bin Ali, from his uncle Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Babuwayh Al Qummy, from Muhammad Bin Musa Al Mutawakkil, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Humeyri, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muqatil Bin Suleyman,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: أَنَا سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ وَصِيِّي سَيِّدُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ أَوْصِيَاؤُهُ سَادَةُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ إِنَّ آدَمَ ع سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لَهُ وَصِيّاً صَالِحاً فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنِّي أَكْرَمْتُ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ بِالنُّبُوَّةِ ثُمَّ اخْتَرْتُ خَلْقِي وَ جَعَلْتُ خِيَارَهُمُ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ
From Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am the Chief of the Prophets-as, and my-saww successor-asws is the Chief of the succesors-as, and his-asws succesors-asws are the Chiefs of the succesors-as. Adam-as asked Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic that He-azwj should Make a successor for him-as. Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-as: “I-azwj Honoured the Prophets-as with the Prophet-hood, then I-azwj Chose (from) My-azwj creatures and Made the best of them as the successors”.
ثُمَّ أَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ يَا آدَمُ أَوْصِ إِلَى ابْنِكَ شَيْثٍ فَأَوْصَى آدَمُ إِلَى شَيْثٍ وَ هُوَ هِبَةُ اللَّهِ بْنُ آدَمَ وَ أَوْصَى شَيْثٌ إِلَى ابْنِهِ شنان وَ هُوَ ابْنُ نذلة [نَزْلَةَ] الْحَوْرَاءِ الَّتِي أَنْزَلَهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى آدَمَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ فَزَوَّجَهَا ابْنَهُ شيث [شَيْثاً] وَ أَوْصَى شنان إِلَى مجثب وَ أَوْصَى مجثب إِلَى مُحْرَقٍ وَ أَوْصَى مُحْرَقٌ إِلَى عثميشا
Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto him-as: “O Adam-as! Bequeath to your-as son-as!”. So Adam-as bequeathed to Shees-as, and he is Hibtullah Bin Adam-as, and Shees-as bequeathed to his-as son-as Shanan-as, and he is Ibn Nazalat-as. The Hourie from the Paradise which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Caused to descend unto Adam-as, he-as got her married to his-as son-as Shees. And Shanan-as bequeathed to Mujsab-as, and Mujsab-as bequeathed to Muhraq-as, and Muhraq-as bequeathed to Asmaysha-as.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ دَفَعَهَا إِلَى بُرْدَةَ وَ أَنَا أَدْفَعُهَا إِلَيْكَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَ أَنْتَ تَدْفَعُهَا إِلَى وَصِيِّكَ وَ يَدْفَعُهَا وَصِيُّكَ إِلَى أَوْصِيَائِكَ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ وَاحِداً بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ حَتَّى تُدْفَعَ إِلَى خَيْرِ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَكَ
Then Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And it was handed over to Burda-as, and I-saww am handing it over to you-asws, O Ali-asws, and you-asws should hand it over to your-asws successor-asws, and your-asws successor-asws should hand it over to your-asws succesors-asws from your-asws sons-asws, one after the other, until it is handed over to the best of the inhabitants of the earth after you-asws.
وَ لَتَكْفُرَنَّ بِكَ الْأُمَّةُ وَ لَتَخْتَلِفَنَّ عَلَيْكَ اخْتِلَافاً شَدِيداً الثَّابِتُ عَلَيْكَ كَالْمُقِيمِ مَعِي وَ الشَّاذُّ عَنْكَ فِي النَّارِ وَ النَّارُ مَثْوًى لِلْكَافِرِينَ
The community would disbelieve in you-asws, and they would be differing upon you-asws with intense differing. The one steadfast upon you-asws would be like the one standing with me-saww, and the one deviating from you-asws would be in the Fire, and the Fire is a lodgement for the disbelievers’’.[19]

And I was informed with this Hadeeth by my Sheykh, the imam Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Babuwayh, and my Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Toosy, and the Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Shahriyah Al Khazin, altogether from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Toosy, from the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from the Sheykh, the jurist, Abu Ja’far Bin Ali Bin Babuways, by his chain up to the end of the Hadeeth. It was informed to us by Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al Neyshapouri, from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn by his reading upon it, from Abu Zur’at Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Musa Al Farsy, from Abu Al-Hassan Ahmad Bin Yaqoub Al Balkhy, from Muhammad Bin Jareyr, from Al Haysam Bin Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Bin Umar, from Muhammad Bin Haroun Bin Umar, from his father, from Anas Bin Malik who said,
خَرَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص نَتَمَاشَى حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ بِسِدْرَةٍ عَارِيَةٍ لَا نَبَاتَ عَلَيْهَا فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ تَحْتَهَا فَأَوْرَقَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ وَ أَثْمَرَتْ وَ اسْتَظَلَّتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَتَبَسَّمَ وَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ ادْعُ لِي عَلِيّاً
‘I went out along with Rasool-Allah-saww walking until we ended up to Baqie Al-Gharqad, and we were at a bare lotus tree, there being no growth upon it. Rasool-Allah-saww sat beneath it, and the tree sprouted leaves and fruits, and shaded upon Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww smiled and said: ‘Anas, call Ali-asws for me-saww’.
فَعَدَوْتُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ فَاطِمَةَ ع فَإِذَا أَنَا بِعَلِيٍّ يَتَنَاوَلُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطَّعَامِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لِخَيْرٍ أُدْعَى فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
I returned until I ended up to the house of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and there I was with Ali-asws, taking something from the meal. I said to him-asws, ‘Answer Rasool-Allah-saww’. So he-asws said: ‘Is everything good, he-saww is calling me-asws?’ I said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’.
قَالَ فَجَعَلَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَمْشِي وَ يُهَرْوِلُ عَلَى أَطْرَافِ أَنَامِلِهِ حَتَّى مَثُلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَجَذَبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَجْلَسَهُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَرَأَيْتُهُمَا يَتَحَدَّثَانِ وَ يَضْحَكَانِ وَ رَأَيْتُ وَجْهَ عَلِيٍّ قَدْ اسْتَنَارَ
He (Anas) said, ‘Ali-asws went walking and he-asws was trotting upon the edge of his-asws toes until he-asws was in front of Rasool-Allah-saww, and Rasool-Allah-saww grabbed him-asws and seated him-asws to his-saww side, and I saw the two of them discussing and laughing, and I saw the face of Ali-asws to have radiated.
فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَامٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ مُرَصَّعٍ بِالْيَوَاقِيتِ وَ الْجَوَاهِرِ وَ لِلْجَامِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَرْكَانٍ عَلَى رُكْنٍ مِنْهُ مَكْتُوبٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الثَّانِي مَكْتُوبٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ سَيْفُهُ عَلَى النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْقَاسِطِينَ وَ الْمَارِقِينَ وَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الثَّالِثِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَيَّدْتُهُ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ عَلَى الرُّكْنِ الرَّابِعِ نَجَا الْمُعْتَقِدُونَ لِدِينِ اللَّهِ الْمُوَالُونَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
And there I was with a vessel of gold, inset with the rubies and the jewels. And for the vessel there were four corners – upon a corner of it was inscribed: “There is no god except Allah-azwj. Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj”. Upon the second corner was inscribed: “There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-saww, and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is the Guardian of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj sword upon the breakers (of the Covenant), and the oppressors and the apostates”. And upon the third corner: “There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool of Allah-saww. I-azwj Aided him-saww with Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws”. And upon the fourth corner: “Salvation is for the believers in the Religion of Allah-azwj, the friends of the People-asws of the Household of Rasool-Allah-saww”.
وَ إِذَا فِي الْجَامِ رُطَبٌ وَ عِنَبٌ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ أَوَانُ الْعِنَبِ وَ لَا أَوَانُ الرُّطَبِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَأْكُلُ وَ يُطْعِمُ عَلِيّاً ع حَتَّى إِذَا شَبِعَا ارْتَفَعَ الْجَامُ
And in the vessel there were dates and grapes, it was neither the season for the grapes nor the season for the dates. Rasool-Allah-saww went on eating and feeding Ali-asws until when they-asws were satiated, the vessel was raised.
فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَنَسُ أَ تَرَى هَذِهِ السِّدْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ قَدْ قَعَدَ تَحْتَهَا ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ نَبِيّاً وَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ وَصِيّاً مَا فِي النَّبِيِّينَ نَبِيٌّ أَشْرَفُ مِنِّي وَ لَا فِي الْوَصِيِّينَ وَصِيٌّ أَوْجَهُ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
Rasool-Allah-saww said to me: ‘O Anas! Did you see this lotus tree?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-saww said: ‘There have sat underneath it, three hundred and thirteen Prophets-as, and three hundred and thirteen successors-as. There has not been a Prophet-saww more noble than I-saww nor among the successors-as a successor-as more honoured than Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws.
يَا أَنَسُ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى آدَمَ فِي عِلْمِهِ وَ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي وَقَارِهِ وَ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ فِي قَضَائِهِ وَ إِلَى يَحْيَى فِي زُهْدِهِ وَ إِلَى أَيُّوبَ فِي صَبْرِهِ وَ إِلَى إِسْمَاعِيلَ فِي صِدْقِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع
O Anas! The one who intends to look at Adam-as in his-as knowledge, and to Ibrahim-as in his-as dignity, and to Suleyman-as in his-as judgments, and to Yahya-as in his-as ascetism, and to Ayoub-as in his-as patience, and to Ismail-as in his-as truthfulness, so let him look at Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws.
يَا أَنَسُ مَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ خَصَّهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِوَزِيرِهِ وَ قَدْ خَصَّنِي اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِأَرْبَعَةٍ اثْنَيْنِ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ اثْنَيْنِ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَمَّا اللَّذَانِ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَجَبْرَئِيلُ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ وَ أَمَّا اللَّذَانِ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ عَمِّي حَمْزَةُ.
O Anas! There is none from a Prophet-as except Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Specialised him-as with his-as Vizier, and Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Specialised me-saww with four – two in the sky and two in the earth. As for those two who are in the sky, they are Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as, and as for those two who are in the earth, they are Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and my-saww uncle Hamza-as’’.[20]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجِعَابِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَوْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ أَبَانٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي سُخَيْلَةَ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Ji’any, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Awdy, from Ismail Bin Aban, from Fuzayl Bin Al Zubeyr, from Abu Ubeydullah, a slave of the Clan of Hashim-as, from Abu Sukheyla who said,
حَجَجْتُ أَنَا وَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَمَرَرْنَا بِالرَّبَذَةِ وَ جَلَسْنَا إِلَى أَبِي ذَرٍّ الْغِفَارِيِّ فَقَالَ لَنَا إِنَّهُ سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي فِتْنَةٌ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهَا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ الشَّيْخِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَالْزَمُوهُمَا فَاشْهَدْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنِّي سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ
‘I and Salman Al-Farsy-as performed Hajj. We passed by Al-Rabza and we sat with Abu Zarr Al-Ghifary-as, and he-as said to us, ‘It is so that strife would be occurring after me-as and it is inevitable from it. Therefore, upon you is (to be) with the Book of Allah-azwj and the Sheykh Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, so both of you should necessitate him-asws, for I-as testify upon Rasool-Allah-saww that I-as heard him-saww saying:
عَلِيٌّ أَوَّلُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ صَدَّقَنِي وَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يُصَافِحُنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ هُوَ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ هُوَ فَارِوقُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ وَ هُوَ يَعْسُوبُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمَالُ يَعْسُوبُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ.
‘Ali-asws is the first one who believed in me-asws, and the first one who ratified me-saww, and the first one who would be shaking my-saww hand on the Day of Qiyamah; and he-asws is the Great Truthful, and he-asws is the differentiatot of this community, differentiating between the truth and the falsehood, and he-asws is the leader of the Momineen, whereas the wealth is the leader of the hypocrites’.[21]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الطُّوسِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al Toosy, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawayh, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar Al Ju’fy who said,
سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَقُولُ: فِي السَّمَاءِ أَرْبَعَةُ مَلَائِكَةٍ يَقُولُونَ فِي تَسْبِيحِهِمْ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ دَلَّ هَذَا الْخَلْقَ الْقَلِيلَ مِنْ هَذَا الْخَلْقِ الْكَثِيرِ عَلَى هَذَا الدِّينِ الْعَزِيزِ.
‘I heard Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘In the sky there are four Angels saying in their Glorifications: ‘Glorious is the One Who Guided these few people from those numerous people, (to be) upon this dear Religion!’’.[22]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْإِمَامُ الزَّاهِدُ الرَّئِيسُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي صَفَرٍ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِمْلَاءً فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِيَاحٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ إِجَازَةً قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the imam, the ascetic chief Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, by my reading upon it, during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, dicating during Jamad Al Akhira of the year four hundred and fifty five at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Tiyah Al Qurshy, from his father, from Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Baseer,
عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ وَ سَلْمَانَ رَحِمَهُمَا اللَّهُ خَرَجَا فِي طَلَبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقِيلَ لَهُمَا إِنَّهُ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى قُبَا فَوَجَدَاهُ سَاجِداً تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ فَجَلَسَا يَنْتَظِرَانِهِ حَتَّى ظَنَّا أَنَّهُ نَائِمٌ
From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Abu Zarr-as and Salaman-as, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on them both, went out seeking Rasool-Allah-saww. It was said to them-as that he-saww had headed towards Quba. They-as found him-saww in prostration under a tree. They-as sat down awaiting him-saww to the extent that they-as thought he-saww had slept.
فَأَهْوَيَا لِيُوقِظَاهُ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَيْهِمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مَكَانَكُمَا وَ سَمِعْتُ مَقَالَتَكُمَا وَ لَمْ أَكُنْ رَاقِداً إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَعَثَ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ كَانَ قَبْلِي إِلَى أُمَّتِهِ بِلِسَانِ قَوْمِهِ وَ بَعَثَنِي إِلَى كُلِّ أَسْوَدَ وَ أَحْمَرَ بِالْعَرَبِيَّةِ وَ أَعْطَانِي فِي أُمَّتِي خَمْسَ خِصَالٍ لَمْ يُعْطِهَا نَبِيّاً قَبْلِي
They-as fanned to wake him-as up, and he-saww raised his-saww head towards them-as, then said: ‘I-saww have seen your-as places and heard your-as speech, and I-saww did not happen to be lying (sleeping). Allah-azwj Sent every Prophet-as who was before me-saww, to his-as community with the tongue of his-as community (same language), and He-azwj Sent me-saww to every black and red with the Arabic, and Gave me-as in my-saww community, five characteristics which He-azwj did not Give to any Prophet-as before me-saww.
نَصَرَنِي بِالرُّعْبِ يُسْمِعُ بِي الْقَوْمَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ مَسِيرَةَ شَهْرٍ فَيُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَ أَحَلَّ لِيَ الْمَغْنَمَ وَ جَعَلَ لِيَ الْأَرْضَ مَسْجِداً وَ طَهُوراً أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتُ مِنْهَا أَتَيَمَّمُ مِنْ تُرَابِهَا وَ أُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا
He-azwj Helped me with the awe. I-saww can be heard by the people (even though there is) a travel distance of a month between me and them, so they would be believing in me-saww; and the war booty is Permitted unto me-saww, and the (whole) earth has been Made to be a Masjid (place of prostration) for me and (considered) clean, where I-saww may be from it, I-saww can perform Tayammum from its soil and pray Salat upon it;
وَ جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ مَسْأَلَةً فَسَأَلُوهُ إِيَّاهَا فَأَعْطَاهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَعْطَانِي مَسْأَلَةً فَأَخَّرْتُ مَسْأَلَتِي لِشَفَاعَةِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ وَ أَعْطَانِي جَوَامِعَ الْعِلْمِ وَ أَعْطَى عَلِيّاً مَفَاتِيحَ الْكَلَامِ وَ لَمْ يُعْطِ مَا أَعْطَانِي نَبِيّاً قَبْلِي
And the supplications were Awarded to every Prophet-saww, and they-as asked Him-azwj and they-as were Given those in the world, and the supplications were Given to me-saww, so I-saww delayed my-saww asking for the interceding for the sinners from my-saww community on the Day of Qiyamah, so He-azwj did that; and there was Given to me-saww the comprehensive of the knowledge, and Ali-asws was Given the keys of the speech, and it has not been Given what is Given to me-saww, to any Prophet-as before me-saww.
فَمَسْأَلَتِي بَالِغَةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِمَنْ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً فَيَرْضَى مُوَالِياً لِوَصِيِّي مُحِبّاً لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي.
Thus, my-saww supplications would reach the Day of Qiyamah to the one who meets Allah-azwj not having associated anything with Him-azwj, and He-azwj would Please the friends of my-saww successor-asws, loving to the People-asws of my-saww Household’’.[23]

The manifestation of Al-Fazl Bin Dakeyn of being Shia, and for him are proses regarding that
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَهْرِيَارَ الْخَازِنُ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ سَنَةَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الدُّورْيَسْتِيُّ بِالْغَرِيِّ عَلَى سَاكِنِهِ السَّلَامُ فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ ثَمَانٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبْدُونِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْبَزَّازُ بِمَدِينَةِ السَّلَامِ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَدْلُ الْأَنْبَارِيُ: قَالَ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shahriyar Al Khazin, by my reading upon it during Zil Qadah of the year five hundred and twelve, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh, the jurist Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Dorosty, at Al Ghary, the greetings be upon its dwellers, during Shaban of the year four hundred and fifty eight, from Abu Abdullah Ahmad Bin Ubdoun Bin Ahmad Al Bazzaz at Medina Al Salaam, in the year four hundred, from Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdul Muttalib Al Shabani, from Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al Adl Al Anbary who said,
قَدِمَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ بَغْدَادَ فَنَزَلَ الرُّمَيْلَةَ وَ هِيَ مَحَلَّةٌ بِهَا فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ أَصْحَابُ الْحَدِيثِ وَ نَصَبُوا لَهُ كُرْسِيّاً صَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَخَذَ يَعِظُ النَّاسَ وَ يُذَكِّرُهُمْ وَ يَرْوِي لَهُمُ الْأَحَادِيثَ وَ كَانَتْ أَيَّاماً صَعْبَةً فِي التَّقِيَّةِ
‘Abu Nuaym Al-Fazl Bin Dukeyn proceeded to Baghdad. He lodged at Al-Rumeyla, and it is a locality at which the companions of the Hadeeth tended to gather, and a chair was set up for him. He ascended to it and took to preaching the people, and mentioning to them and reporting the Ahadeeth to them, and those were days which were difficult, regarding the dissimulation (Taqiyyah).
فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آخِرِ الْمَجْلِسِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا نُعَيْمٍ أَ تَتَشَيَّعُ؟ قَالَ فَكَرِهَ الشَّيْخُ مَقَالَتَهُ وَ أَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ بِوَجْهِهِ وَ تَمَثَّلَ بِهَذَيْنِ الْبَيْتَيْنِ
A man from the end of the gathering stood up and said to him ‘O Abu Nuaym! Are you a Shia?’ The Sheykh disliked his talk and turned his face away from it, and he prosed with these two proses: –
| وَ مَا زَالَ بِي حُبِّيكِ حَتَّى كَأَنَّنِي | بِرَدِّ جَوَابِ السَّائِلِي عَنْكِ أَعْجَمُ | |
| لِأَسْلَمَ مِنْ قَوْلِ الْوُشَاةِ وَ تَسْلَمِي | سَلِمْتُ وَ هَلْ حَيٌّ مِنَ النَّاسِ يَسْلَمُ |
‘And my love for you-asws has not ceased until it is as if I am mute with responding by an answer to the questioner about you-asws in order to be safe from the words of the whistle-blowers; and I would be submitted (to the tyrants) with a submission, and is there anyone alive from the people (from those) who have been submitted (to the tyrants)?’
قَالَ فَلَمْ يَفْطُنْ بِمُرَادِهِ وَ عَادَ إِلَى السُّؤَالِ وَ قَالَ يَا أَبَا نُعَيْمٍ أَ تَتَشَيَّعُ؟ فَقَالَ يَا هَذَا كَيْفَ بُلِيتُ بِكَ وَ أَيُّ رِيحٍ هَبَّتْ بِكَ إِلَيَّ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ صَالِحِ بْنِ حَيٍّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَقُولُ: حُبُّ عَلِيٍّ عِبَادَةٌ وَ خَيْرُ الْعِبَادَةِ مَا كُتِمَتْ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘But he was not tempted by his intended meaning, and he returned to the question and said, ‘O Abu Nuaym, are you a Shia?’ He said, ‘O you! How I am being tried by you, and which wind has blown with you to me? Yes. I heard Al-Hassan Bin Salih saying, ‘I heard Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘Love of Ali-asws is worship, and the best worship is what is concealed’.[24]
[حديث ميثم التمار عن فضل أهل البيت عليهم السّلام.]
Hadeeth of Maysam Al-Tammar about the merits of the People-asws of the Household
أَخْبَرَنِي الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي مَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ التَّمَّارِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ:
It was informed to me by Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon in the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, from Salih Bin Maysam Al Tammar who said,
وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ مِيثَمٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ تَمَسَّيْنَا لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ لَنَا لَيْسَ مِنْ عَبْدٍ امْتَحَنَ اللَّهُ قَلْبَهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ إِلَّا أَصْبَحَ يَجِدُ مَوَدَّتَنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهِ وَ لَا أَصْبَحَ عَبْدٌ مِمَّنْ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا يَجِدُ بُغْضَنَا عَلَى قَلْبِهِ
‘I found in the book of Maysam, he was saying, ‘We spent the evening in the presence of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and he-asws said to us: ‘There isn’t a servant whose heart Allah-azwj has Tested for the Eman except in the morning he would find our-asws cordiality upon his heart, nor is there a servant from the ones Allah-azwj is Wrathful upon except he would find our-asws hatred upon his heart in the morning.
وَ أَصْبَحْنَا نَفْرَحُ بِحُبِّ الْمُحِبِّ لَنَا وَ نَعْرِفُ بُغْضَ الْمُبْغِضِ لَنَا وَ أَصْبَحَ مُحِبُّنَا مُغْتَبِطاً بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ يَنْتَظِرُهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَ أَصْبَحَ مُبْغِضُنَا يُؤَسِّسُ بُنْيَانَهُ عَلَى شَفَا جُرُفٍ هَارٍ فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ الشَّفَا قَدِ انْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ
And in the morning, we-asws are happy with the love of the ones who love us-asws, and we-asws recognise the hatred of the one who hates us-asws. And in the morning the one who loves us-asws are in exultation with the Mercy from Allah-azwj awaiting it every day. And in the morning, the one who hates us-asws establishes his building upon the brink of the cliff of heat. So that is the brink he would spend his day with in the Fire of Hell.
وَ كَأَنَّ أَبْوَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ قَدْ فُتِحَتْ لِأَهْلِ الرَّحْمَةِ فَهَنِيئاً لِأَصْحَابِ الرَّحْمَةِ رَحْمَتُهُمْ وَ تَعْساً لِأَهْلِ النَّارِ مَثْوَاهُمْ
And it is as if the doors of the Mercy have been opened for the people of the Mercy. Therefore, congratulation to the companions of the Mercy, and woe be unto the people of the Fire being their dwelling place.
إِنَّ عَبْداً لَمْ يُقَصِّرْ فِي حُبِّنَا لِخَيْرٍ يَجْعَلُهُ اللَّهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَ لَنْ يُحِبَّنَا مَنْ يُحِبُّ مُبْغِضَنَا إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَجْتَمِعْ فِي قَلْبٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ ما جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ فِي جَوْفِهِ يُحِبُّ بِهَذَا قَوْماً وَ يُحِبُّ بِالْآخَرِ عَدُوَّهُمْ
A servant would not be deficient in our-asws love for the goodness Allah-azwj would Make it to be in his heart, and he will never love us-asws, the one who loves the one who hates us-asws. That would not gather in one heart. And Allah-azwj did not Make it for a man to have two hearts in his chest, (so that) he would love a people with this one, and he would love their enemies with the other one.
وَ الَّذِي يُحِبُّنَا فَهُوَ يَخْلُصُ بِحُبِّنَا كَمَا يَخْلُصُ الذَّهَبُ الَّذِي لَا غِشَّ فِيهِ نَحْنُ النُّجَبَاءُ وَ أَفْرَاطُنَا أَفْرَاطُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أَنَا وَصِيُّ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ أَنَا حِزْبُ اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ وَ الْفِئَةُ الْبَاغِيَةُ حِزْبُ الشَّيْطَانِ
And the one who loves us-asws, so he is pure with our-asws love just as the gold is pure there being no adulteration in it. We-asws are the excellent ones, and neglecting us-asws is the neglecting the Prophets-as. And I-asws am the successor-asws of the succesors-asws, and I-asws am the Party of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the rebellious category is the party of Satan-la.
فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَعْلَمَ حَالَهُ فِي حُبِّنَا فَلْيَمْتَحِنْ قَلْبَهُ فَإِنْ وَجَدَ فِيهِ حُبَّ مَنْ أَلَّبَ عَلَيْنَا فَلْيَعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى عَدُوُّهُ وَ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ اللَّهِ عَدُوُّ الْكَافِرِينَ.
Thus, the one who loves to know his state with regards to our-asws love, so let him examine his own heart. If he finds in it the love of the ones who flock against us-asws, so let him realise that Allah-azwj the Exalted is his Enemy, and (so is) Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as, and Allah-azwj is the Enemy of the Kafirs’’.[25]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيِّ بْنُ الشَّيْخِ الْمُفِيدِ السَّعِيدِ أبو [أَبِي] جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Bin Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Isa, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Fazalat, from Abu Baseer,
عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: إِنَّا وَ شِيعَتَنَا خُلِقْنَا مِنْ طِينَةٍ مِنْ عِلِّيِّينَ وَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَدُوَّنَا مِنْ طِينَةِ خَبَالٍ مِنْ حَمَإٍ مَسْنُونٍ.
From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘We-asws and our-asws Shias were Created from the clay from Illiyeen, and Allah-azwj Created our-asws enemies from the clay of Khabal (pus), from black mud’.[26]

It was informed to us by the noble Abu Al Barkaat Umar Bin Muhammad Bin Hamza Al Alawy at Al Kufa in its Masjid, during Safar of the year five hundred and sixteen, from Abu Ghalib Saeed Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Saqafy AlKufy, from The noble Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Abdul Rahman Al Alawy the Allamah, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ja’fary and Zayd Bin Ja’fa Bin Hajib, reading upon it, from Muhammad Bin Al Wasim Al Muharby reading, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahid, from HarbBin Hassan Al Tahhan, from Yahya Bin Musawir, from Bashir Al Nabbal, and he used to disavow the nobility, (said),
قَدْ اشْتَرَيْتُ بَعِيراً نِضْواً فَقَالَ لِي قَوْمٌ يَحْمِلُكَ وَ قَالَ قَوْمٌ لَا يَحْمِلُكَ فَرَكِبْتُ وَ مَشَيْتُ حَتَّى وَصَلْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ وَ قَدْ تَشَقَّقَ وَجْهِي وَ يَدَايَ وَ رِجْلَايَ فَأَتَيْتُ بَابَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقُلْتُ يَا غُلَامُ اسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَيْهِ
‘I purchased a worn-out camel, so a group of people said to me, ‘It will carry you’, and a group of people said, ‘It will not carry you’. I rode and walked (alternatively) until I arrived at Al-Medina and my face and my hands and my feet were cracked. I came to the door of Abu Ja’far-asws and I said, ‘O boy! Get me the permission to see him-asws’.
قَالَ فَسَمِعَ صَوْتِي فَقَالَ ادْخُلْ يَا بَشِيرُ مَرْحَباً مَا هَذَا الَّذِي أَرَى بِكَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ اشْتَرَيْتُ بَعِيراً نِضْواً فَرَكِبْتُ وَ مَشَيْتُ فَشُقِّقَ وَجْهِي وَ يَدَايَ وَ رِجْلَايَ فَقَالَ فَمَا دَعَاكَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ؟ قُلْتُ حُبُّكُمْ وَ اللَّهِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws heard my voice and he-asws said: ‘Enter, O Bashir, and welcome! What is this which I-asws see with you?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I have bought a worn-out camel, so I rode and walked, therefore by face and my hands and my feet are cracked’. He-asws said: ‘So what called you to (do) that?’ I said, ‘Your-asws love, by Allah-azwj! May I be sacrificed for you-asws’.
قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ فَزِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ فَزِعْنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ فَزِعْتُمْ إِلَيْنَا فَإِلَى أَيْنَ تَرَوْنَ نَذْهَبُ بِكُمْ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ رَبِّ الْكَعْبَةِ.
He-asws said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Rasool-Allah-saww would shelter to Allah-azwj, and we-asws would take shelter to Rasool-Allah-saww, and you (Shias) would take shelter to us-asws. So, to where are you viewing we-asws would be going with you all? To the Paradise. By the Lord-azwj of the Kabah! To the Paradise. By the Lord-azwj of the Kabah!’’.[27]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, at Al Rayy, during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, by my reading upon it, from Al Sheykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Toosy, during Jamadi Al Akhira of the year four hundred and fifty five at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Abu Abdullah Al Mufeed Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man Al Harisy, from Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Muhammad the scribe, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abdul Kareem, from Is’haq Bin Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Al Hakam Bin Zaheer, from Abu Is’haq, from Rafi’u, a slave of Abu Zarr-as who said,
رَأَيْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ آخِذاً بِحَلْقَةِ بَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ يَقُولُ مَنْ عَرَفَنِي فَقَدْ عَرَفَنِي أَنَا جُنْدَبٌ الْغِفَارِيُّ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْنِي فَأَنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ قَاتَلَنِي فِي الْأُولَى وَ قَاتَلَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي فِي الثَّانِيَةِ حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ مَعَ الدَّجَّالِ
‘I saw Abu Zarr-ra grabbed a ring of the door of the Kabah and saying, ‘The one who recognised me-ra so he has recognised me-ra! I-ra am Jundab Al-Ghifary! And the one who does not recognise me-as, so I-as am Abu Zarr-as! I-as heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘The one who fought against me-saww in the first (period) and fights against the People-asws of my-saww Household during the second (period), Allah-azwj would Resurrect him with the Dajjal-la’’.
إِنَّمَا مَثَلُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فِيكُمْ كَمَثَلِ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ مَنْ رَكِبَهَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنْهَا غَرِقَ وَ مَثَلُ بَابِ حِطَّةٍ مَنْ دَخَلَهَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهُ هَلَكَ.
But rather the People-asws of the Household among you all is like an example of the ship of Noah-as. The one who sails it would attain salvation, and the one who stays behind from it, would drown; and an example of the door of Hitta (among the Children of Israel). The one who enters it attains salvation, and the one who does not enter it would be destroyed!’’.[28]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the chief Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, during the mentioned year and the place, and the mentioned date, from Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Al Nasr Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Muqry, from Umar Bin Muhammad Al Warraq, from Ali Bin Al Abbas Al Bajaly, from Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Tasneem, from Abu Nuaym Al Fazl Bin Dukayn, from Muqatil Bin Suleyman, from Al Zahhak Bin Muzahim, from Ibn Abbas who said,
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ السَّابِقُونَ السَّابِقُونَ أُولئِكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ فِي جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ فَقَالَ: قَالَ لِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ذَاكَ عَلِيٌّ وَ شِيعَتُهُ هُمُ السَّابِقُونَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ مِنَ اللَّهِ بِكَرَامَتِهِ لَهُمْ.
‘I asked Rasool-Allah-saww about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And the foremost are the foremost [56:10] These are the ones of proximity [56:11] In the Blissful Gardens [56:12]. He-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as said to me: ‘That is Ali-asws and his-asws Shias. They would be the foremost to the Paradise. The ones of Proximity due to His-azwj Prestige for them’’.[29]
[البلاء إلى الأئمة و شيعتهم أسرع من السيل في الوادي.]
The affliction to the Imams-asws and their-asws Shias are quicker than the flow (of water) in the valley

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhamamd Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man Al Harisy, from Abu Al-Hassan Zayd Bin Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Sulmy, from Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn Bin Al Hakeem Al Kindy, from Ismail Bin Sabeeh Al Sukkary, from Khalid Bin Al A’ala, from Al Minhal Bin Umar who said,
كُنْتُ جَالِساً مَعَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرِ ع إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَرَدَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامَ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ أَ وَ مَا آنَ لَكُمْ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا كَيْفَ نَحْنُ؟ إِنَّمَا مَثَلُنَا فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ مَثَلُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ يُذَبَّحُ أَبْنَاؤُهُمْ وَ تُسْتَحْيَا نِسَاؤُهُمْ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يُذَبِّحُونَ أَبْنَاءَنَا وَ يَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءَنَا
‘I was seated with Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir-asws when a man came over. He greeted upon him, and he-asws returned the greeting. The man said, ‘How are you-asws?’ Muhammad-asws said to him: ‘And what does it mean to you all if you come to know how we-asws are? But rather, our-asws example in this community is an example of the Children of Israel. Their sons were slaughtered and their women were kept alive. Indeed! They are slaughtering our-asws sons and keeping our-asws womenfolk alive!
زَعَمَتِ الْعَرَبُ أَنَّ لَهُمْ فَضْلًا عَلَى الْعَجَمِ فَقَالَتِ الْعَجَمُ وَ بِمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالُوا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص مِنَّا عَرَبِيّاً قَالُوا لَهُمْ صَدَقْتُمْ
The Arabs claimed that there is merit for them upon the non-Arabs. So the non-Arabs said, ‘And by what is that (merit)?’ They said, ‘Muhammad-saww was from us, an Arab’. They said to them, ‘You speak the truth’.
وَ زَعَمَتْ قُرَيْشٌ أَنَّ لَهَا فَضْلًا عَلَى غَيْرِهَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُمُ الْعَرَبُ مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ وَ بِمَا ذَاكَ؟ قَالُوا كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ قُرَشِيّاً قَالُوا لَهُمْ صَدَقْتُمْ
And the Qureysh claimed that for it was a merit upon the others from the Arabs. So, the Arabs from the others said to them, ‘And by what is that (merit)?’ They said, ‘Muhammad-saww was Qureysh’. They said, ‘You speak the truth’.
وَ إِنْ كَانَ الْقَوْمُ صَدَقُوا فَلَنَا فَضْلٌ عَلَى النَّاسِ لِأَنَّا ذُرِّيَّةُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ خَاصَّةً وَ عِتْرَتُهُ لَا يَشْرَكُنَا فِي ذَلِكَ غَيْرُنَا
And if it was so that they people were speaking the truth, then for us-asws there is merit upon the people because we-asws are the children of Muhammad-saww, and are the People-asws of his-saww Household in particular, and are his-saww family. There is no participation in that with us-asws from the others’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ قَالَ ع فَاتَّخِذْ لِلْبَلَاءِ جِلْبَاباً فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَأَسْرَعُ إِلَيْنَا وَ إِلَى شِيعَتِنَا مِنَ السَّيْلِ فِي الْوَادِي وَ بِنَا يُبْدَأُ الْبَلَاءُ ثُمَّ بِكُمْ وَ بِنَا يُبْدَأُ الرَّخَاءُ ثُمَّ بِكُمْ.
The man said to him-asws, ‘By Allah-azwj! I love you all, the People-asws of the Household!’ He-asws said: ‘So take the afflictions as a robe, for by Allah-azwj, it is quicker to us-asws and to our-asws Shias than the flow of the water in the valley, and with us-asws the afflictions begin, then with you all, and with us-asws the ease begins, then with you all!’’[30]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali at the Holy place, the greetings be upon its dwellers, in the history of the historian, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed Al Hamdany, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim Al Harsy, from Ahmad Bin Sabeeh, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Al Hamdany, from Al-Husayn Bin Mus’ab who said,

‘I heard Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘The one who loves us-asws and loves the ones who loves us-asws, not for the purpose of the world to attain it from him, and is inimical to our-asws enemies, not for a grudge between him and them, then he comes on the Day of Qiyamah and upon him are from the sins, the like of grains of sand of the desert and the foam of the sea, Allah-azwj would Forgive these for him’.[31]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطُّوسِيُّ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ وَ التَّارِيخِ الْمُقَدَّمِ ذِكْرُهُمَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْحَارِثِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجِعَابِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى الْأَزْدِيِّ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Toosy in the place and the date mentioned precedingly, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad In Al Nu’man Al Harisy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Al Musna Al Azdy that,
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ: نَحْنُ السَّبَبُ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
He heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘We-asws are the intermediaries (means) between you all and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.[32]
[إخبار الرسول بأن لحم علي من لحمه و دمه من دمه.]
The Hadeeth of the Rasool-saww that the flesh of Ali-asws is from his-saww flesh, and his-asws blood is from his-saww blood
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الزَّاهِدُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ بِالرَّيِّ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَسَّامٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ اللَّيْثِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the ascetic Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, by my reading upon it at Al Rayy during the year Five hundred and ten, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed, the jurist, Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man, from Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Ubeydullah Al Qattan, from Abu Amro Usman Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Bassam, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Lays Bin Sa’ad Al Khudry who said,
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: أَحِبُّوا عَلِيّاً فَإِنَّ لَحْمَهُ مِنْ لَحْمِي وَ دَمَهُ مِنْ دَمِي لَعَنَ اللَّهُ أَقْوَاماً مِنْ أُمَّتِي ضَيَّعُوا فِيهِ عَهْدِي وَ نَسُوا فِيهِ وَصِيَّتِي مَا لَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ.
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Love Ali-asws, for his-asws flesh is from my-saww flesh, and his-asws blood is from my-saww blood. May Allah-azwj Curse a people from my-saww community who are wasting my-saww Covenant regarding him-asws, and are forgetting my-saww bequest regarding him-asws. There would be no share for them in the Presence of Allah-azwj’’.[33]
[ان اللّه تعالى يتولى حساب المؤمن سترا عليه.]
Allah-azwj will Take Charge of the Reckoning of the Momin by Veiling upon him
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ الرَّئِيسُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِالْمَوْضِعِ الْمَذْكُورِ فِي التَّارِيخِ الْمَذْكُورِ الْمَكْتُوبِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِالْمَشْهَدِ الْمُقَدَّسِ بِالْغَرِيِّ عَلَى سَاكِنِهِ السَّلَامُ فِي جُمَادَى الْآخِرَةِ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو غَالِبٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّازِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عَمِّي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, at the mentioned place in the mentioned date, written, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy at the Holy location at Al Ghary, the greetings be upon its dwellers, during Jumadi Al Akhira of the year four hundred and fifty five, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man, from Abu Ghalib Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Razy, from his ncle Abu Al-Hassan, from Suleyman Bin Al Jahm, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Tayalisy, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim Al Saqafy who said,
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَأُوْلئِكَ يُبَدِّلُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئاتِهِمْ حَسَناتٍ وَ كانَ اللَّهُ غَفُوراً رَحِيماً
‘I asked Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: so those ones, Allah would Replace their evil deeds with good deeds, and Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful [25:70].
قَالَ ع يُؤْتَى بِالْمُؤْمِنِ الْمُذْنِبِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يُقَامَ بِمَوْقِفِ الْحِسَابِ فَيَكُونُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَوَلَّى حِسَابَهُ لَا يُطْلِعُ عَلَى حِسَابِهِ أَحَداً مِنَ النَّاسِ
He-asws said: ‘They would come with the Momin, the sinner, on the Day of Qiyamah until he is paused at the Pausing stop for the Reckoning. It would so happen that Allah-azwj the Exalted, He-azwj would be the One-azwj Who will be Taking Charge of his Reckoning, not Notifying anyone from the people upon his Reckoning.
فَيُعَرِّفُهُ ذُنُوبَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا أَقَرَّ بِسَيِّئَاتِهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِلْكَتَبَةِ بَدِّلُوهَا حَسَنَاتٍ وَ أَظْهِرُوهَا لِلنَّاسِ فَيَقُولُ النَّاسُ حِينَئِذٍ مَا كَانَ لِهَذَا الْعَبْدِ سَيِّئَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ بِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَهَذَا تَأْوِيلُ الْآيَةِ وَ هِيَ لِلْمُذْنِبِينَ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا خَاصَّةً.
He would recognise his sins until when he acknowledges his sins, Allah-azwj the Exalted would Say to the Recorders: “Change these to good deeds and display it to the people!” The people would be saying at that time, ‘There wasn’t a (single) evil deed for this one!’ Then Allah-azwj would Command with him to the Paradise. Thus, this is the explanation of the Verse, and it is for the sinners from our-asws Shias in particular’.[34]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Al Najam Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab Al Razy, during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn, from the judge Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Saffar, by my reading upon it, from Abu Imran Mahdy, from Abu Al Abbas Ibn Uqdat, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al Qatirany, from Ibrahim Bin Anas Al Ansaryu, from Ibrahim Bin Ja’far, from Abdullah Bin Muslim, from Abu Al Zubeyr, from Jabir Bin Abdullah who said,
كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ص فَأَقْبَلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص قَدْ أَتَاكُمْ أَخِي ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ فَضَرَبَهَا بِيَدِهِ وَ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ هَذَا وَ شِيعَتَهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
‘We were in the presence of the Prophet-saww, and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws came over. The Prophet-saww said: ‘My-saww brother-asws has come to you all’. Then he-saww turned towards the Kabah and struck it by his-saww hand and said: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad-saww! This one and his-asws Shias, they would be the successful ones on the Day of Qiyamah’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ص إِنَّهُ أَوَّلُكُمْ إِيمَاناً مَعِي وَ أَوْفَاكُمْ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَقْوَاكُمْ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَعْدَلُكُمْ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ وَ أَقْسَمُكُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ أَعْظَمُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَزِيَّةً
Then he-saww said: ‘He-asws is the first one of you all in Eman along with Me-saww, and the most fulfilling of you all with the Covenant of Allah-azwj, and the strongest one of you all with the Commands of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and the most just of you all among the citizens, and the most equitable of you all with the equalisation, and the one with the greatest privileges in the Presence of Allah-azwj’.
قَالَ وَ نَزَلَتْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘And (the Verse) descended: Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7]’’.[35]
وَ أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي شَعْبَانَ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْحَارِثِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجِعَابِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ النَّصْرِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ الْجُعْفِيُّ قَالَ:
And it was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist, Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it, during Shaban of the year five hundred and ten, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man Al Harsy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed Al Hamdany, from Al-Husayn Bin Utba, from Ahmad Bin Al Nasr, from Muhammad Bin Al Samit Al Ju’fy who said,

‘We were a group from the inhabitants of Al-Basra in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws narrated to us with a Hadeeth of his-asws father-asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah, during Hajj, dictating upon them. When they arose, Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The people are taking to the right and left, and you all are necessitating your Master-asws, so to where, are you viewing, he-asws would be returning with you all? To the Paradise! By Allah-azwj, to the Paradise! By Allah-azwj to the Paradise! By Allah-azwj!’[36]
[ضمان اللّه تعالى لمن أقر لعلي بالولاية الجنة.]
The Guarantee of Allah-azwj of the Paradise to the one who acknowledges to Ali-asws with the Wilayah.

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist, Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad, during the date and the plance mentioned precedingly, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Al Sheykh, the jurist Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, from Muhammad Bin Musa Bin Al Mutawakkal, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Asady, from Musa Bin Imran Al Makhai’e, from his uncle Al-Husayn Bin Yazeed Al Nowfaly, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar Al Ju’fy who said,

‘Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Guaranteed for the Momin with a Guarantee’. I said, ‘What is it?’ He-asws said: ‘He-azwj Guaranteed for him that if he acknowledges to Allah-azwj the Exalted with the Lordship, and to Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood, and to Ali-azwj with the Imamate, and fulfils whatever is Obligated upon him, that He-azwj would Settle him in his-saww vicinity’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! This is the Prestige which does not resemble the prestige of the human beings’. Then Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘(Even if you) perform a few deeds, you would be Given Abundant Bounties!’[37]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the chief of the ascetics, Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, at Al Rayy, by my reading upon it during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harsy, from Abu Nasr Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Baseer, from Ahmad Bin Nasr Bin Saeed Al Bahily, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Nahawandy, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Umar Bin Shiumr, from Jabir,

From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah-saww fulfilled his-saww rituals from the Farewell Hajj, he-saww mounted upon his-saww ride and commenced saying: ‘None shall enter the Paradise except for the one who was a Muslim!’

Abu Zarr-as stood up and he-as said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! And what is Al-Islam?’ So he-saww said: ‘Al-Islam is bare, and its clothing is the piety, and its adornment is the bashfulness, and its framework is the devoutness, and its beauty is the dignity, and its fruit is the righteous deed, and for everything there is a foundation, and the foundation of Al-Islam is having our-asws love of the People-asws of the Household’.[38]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist, Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it in the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Nu’man, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Abu Ali Muhammad Bin Hammam, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Mas’ada, from his grandfather Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘By Allah-azwj! He would not die, the one who dies upon the love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, except he would see him-asws in the place beloved to him, and he would not die, the one who dies upon the hatred of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws except he would see him-asws in the most hateful of the places to him’.[39]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist, Abu Ali Bin Al Toosy, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar well known as Ibn Jiany, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Yusuf Bin Ibrahim Al Wardany, from his father, from Wuheyb Bin Hafs, from Abu Hassan Al Ijaly who said,
لَقِيتُ أَمَةَ اللَّهِ بِنْتَ رُشَيْدٍ الْهَجَرِيِّ فَقُلْتُ لَهَا خَبِّرِينِي مَا سَمِعْتِ مِنْ أَبِيكِ قَالَتْ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ لِي حَبِيبِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع يَا رُشَيْدُ كَيْفَ صَبْرُكَ إِذَا أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْكَ دَعِيُّ بَنِي أُمَيَّةَ فَقَطَعَ يَدَيْكَ وَ رِجْلَيْكَ وَ لِسَانَكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ يَكُونُ آخِرُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ ع نَعَمْ يَا رُشَيْدُ وَ أَنْتَ مَعِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
‘I met the maid of Allah-azwj, the daughter of Rusheyd Al-Hajary, and I said to her, ‘Inform me of what you heard from your father’. She said, ‘I heard him saying, ‘My beloved Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said to me: ‘O Rusheyd! How would your patience be when the caller of the Clan of Umayya is sent to you, so he cuts-off your hands and your feet and your tongue?’ He said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Would I happen to be, at the end of that, in the Paradise?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Rusheyd, and you are with me-asws in the world and (would be with me-asws in) the Hereafter’.
قَالَتْ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا ذَهَبَتِ الْأَيَّامُ حَتَّى أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الدَّعِيُّ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَلَيْهِمَا لَعَائِنُ اللَّهِ فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَتَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ بِأَيِّ مِيتَةٍ قَالَ لَكَ صَاحِبُكَ تَمُوتُ؟ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي خَلِيلِي ع أَنَّكَ تَدْعُونِي إِلَى الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُ وَ لَا أَتَبَرَّأُ فَتُقَدِّمُنِي وَ تَقْطَعُ يَدِي وَ رِجْلِي وَ لِسَانِي
She said, ‘By Allah-azwj! The days did not pass until there was sent to him the caller of Ubeydullah Bin Ziyad, may the Curse of Allah-azwj be upon them both. He called him to the disavowing from Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. But he refused to disavow from him-asws. He said to him, ‘With which death did your Master-asws said you would be dying with?’ He said, ‘My friend-asws informed me, ‘You would be calling me to the disavowment from him-asws, and I will not be disavowing, so you would be coming forward and cutting off my hands and my legs and my tongue’.
فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأُكَذِّبَنَّ صَاحِبَكَ قَدِّمُوهُ فَاقْطَعُوا يَدَهُ وَ رِجْلَهُ وَ اتْرُكُوا لِسَانَهُ فَقَطَعُوهُ ثُمَّ حَمَلُوهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِنَا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَتِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَلْ تَجِدُ لِمَا أَصَابَكَ أَلَماً قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ يَا بُنَيَّةِ إِلَّا كَالزِّحَامِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ
He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I shall prove your Master-asws to be a liar, and I shall come forward and cut off your hands and your legs, and leave your tongue’. He cut these off. Then he was carried to our house, and I said to him, ‘O father! May I be sacrificed for you! Do you find (a lot of) pain due to what has hit you?’ He said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj, O daughter, except like being crowded between the people’.
وَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ جِيرَانُهُ وَ مَعَارِفُهُ يَتَوَجَّعُونَ لَهُ فَقَالَ ايتُونِي بِصَحِيفَةٍ وَ دَوَاةٍ أَذْكُرُ لَكُمْ مَا يَكُونُ مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِيهِ مَوْلَايَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَأَتَوْهُ بِصَحِيفَةٍ وَ دَوَاةٍ فَجَعَلَ يَذْكُرُ وَ يُمْلِي عَلَيْهِمْ أَخْبَارَ الْمَلَاحِمِ وَ الْكَائِنَاتِ وَ يُسْنِدُهَا إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع
And his neighbours came over to him, and his acquaintances aching for him. He said, ‘Bring me a paper and ink, I shall mention to you all what would be happening from what has been taught to me by my Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’. They came with a paper and ink, and he went on mentioned and dictating upon them the news of the epics and the universe, and he linked it to Amir Al-Momineen-asws.
فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ زِيَادٍ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَجَّامَ حَتَّى قَطَعَ لِسَانَهُ فَمَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ تِلْكَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ.
So (the news of) that reached Ibn Ziyad, may Allah-azwj Curse him, and he sent the cupper to him until he cut off his tongue. He died during that night of his. May Allah-azwj have Mercy on him’.
و كان أمير المؤمنين ع يسميه راشد المبتلى و كان قد ألقي إليه علم المنايا و البلايا و كان يلقى الرجل فيقول له يا فلان بن فلان تموت ميتة كذا و كذا و أنت يا فلان تقتل قتلة كذا فيكون الأمر كما قاله راشد رحمه الله.
And it was so that Amir Al-Momineen-asws had named him as the afflicted Rusheyd, and it was so that he-asws had given to him the knowledge of the (future) phenomena’s and the tribulations, and he was meeting the man and he would be saying to him, ‘O so and so! You would be dying such and such a death’, and, ‘You, O so and so, would be killed with such a killing’. Thus, the matter happened as Rusheyd had said it to be’.[40]

‘I heard Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘With us-asws do the afflictions begin, then with you all, and with us-asws do the ease begins, then with you all. By the One-azwj Who is sworn by, Allah-azwj would be helped with you all just as He-azwj is helped by the stones’.[41]

It was informed to us by the trustworthy Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shahriyar Al Khazin, by my reading upon it at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, during Zil Qadah of the year Five hundred and twelve, from Al Sheykh Abu Salih Abdul Rahman Bin Yaqoub Al Hanafy Al Sandaly, the Pilgrim from Neyshapour having come to him, from Walidy Abu Yusuf Yaqoub Bin Tahir, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq the Judge, from Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Sabour Al Daqeeqy, from Ubeyd Bin Hashim, from Ismail Bin Ja’far, from Al A’ala Bin Abdul Rahman, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Masoud who said,
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: يَا عَلِيُّ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ مِثْلَ مَا قَامَ نُوحٌ فِي قَوْمِهِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أُحُدٍ ذَهَباً فَأَنْفَقَهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَ مُدَّ فِي عُمُرِهِ حَتَّى حَجَّ أَلْفَ حِجَّةٍ ثُمَّ قُتِلَ بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَ الْمَرْوَةِ ثُمَّ لَمْ يُوَالِكَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَمْ يَشَمَّ رَائِحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَمْ يَدْخُلْهَا
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! If a servant were to worship Allah-azwj for the likes of what Noah-as stayed among his-as people (950 years), and had gold the like of (Mount) Ohad and he spends it in the Way of Allah-azwj, and had an extension in his life-span until he performs a thousand Hajj, then is killed between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa, then does not accept you-asws as a Master, O Ali-asws, he will not (even) smell the aroma of the Paradise and will never enter it.
أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنَّ حُبَّكَ حَسَنَةٌ لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَهَا سَيِّئَةٌ وَ بُغْضَكَ سَيِّئَةٌ لَا يَنْفَعُ مَعَهَا طَاعَةٌ يَا عَلِيُّ لَوْ نَثَرْتَ الدُّرَّ عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِ مَا أَحَبَّكَ وَ لَوْ ضَرَبْتَ خَيْشُومَ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَا أَبْغَضَكَ لِأَنَّ حُبَّكَ إِيمَانٌ وَ بُغْضَكَ نِفَاقٌ وَ لَا يُحِبُّكَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ تَقِيٌّ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ شَقِيٌّ.
But, do you not know, O Ali-asws, that your-asws love is such a good deed that an evil deed does not harm along with it, and your-asws hatred is such an evil deed that an (act of) obedience does not benefit along with it? O Ali-asws! If the gems were to be scattered upon the hypocrite, he would (still) not love you-asws, and if the nose of a Momin is truck, he would (still) not hate you-asws, because your-asws love is Eman and your-asws hatred is hypocrisy. None will love you-asws except for a pious Momin, nor would anyone hate you-asws except for a wretched hypocrite’.[42]

From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansary who said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws: ‘Shall I-saww give you-asws glad tidings? Shall I-saww confer upon you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’. He-saww said: ‘I-saww was Created, I-saww and you-asws, from one clay, and there remained an excess from it and our-asws Shias were Created from it. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the people would be called by the names of their mothers, except for our-asws Shias, for they would be called with the names of their fathers due to the goodness of their births’.[45]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Al Najam Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahhab Bin Isa Al Razy at Al Rayy in the alleyway of Zamahran at the well known location at Al Ghary, reading upon it during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al Neyshapouri, from Abu Ali Muhammad Bin Muhammad aL Muqry by his reading upon it, from Al Seyyind Abu Talib Yahya Bin Al-Husayn Bin Haroun Al Alawy Al-Hassan, dictating, from Abu Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Al Abady, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Al Qummy, from Ahmad Bin abu Abdullah Barqy, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Safwan Bin Yahya who said,
قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع: مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هُدِيَ وَ مَنْ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كُفِيَ وَ مَنْ قَنِعَ بِمَا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ غَنِيَ وَ مَنِ اتَّقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَجَا
Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘The one who adheres with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Guided, and the one who relies upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majesty is sufficed, and the one who is content with whatever Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Graced is rich (needless), and the one who fears Allah-azwj Mighty and Majesty attains salvation.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَ أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ سَلِّمُوا الْأَمْرَ لِأَهْلِهِ تُفْلِحُوا وَ اصْبِرُوا فَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَ لا تَكُونُوا كَالَّذِينَ نَسُوا اللَّهَ فَأَنْساهُمْ أَنْفُسَهُمْ الْآيَةَ
Therefore, fear Allah-azwj to what your capacity is, and obey Allah-azwj and submit the matters to its rightful ones, you will succeed, and be patient: surely Allah is with the patient ones [2:153] And do not become like those who forgot Allah so He Made them forget themselves. [59:19] – the Verse.
لا يَسْتَوِي أَصْحابُ النَّارِ وَ أَصْحابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفائِزُونَ وَ هُمْ شِيعَةُ عَلِيٍّ ع حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ أَقْرَأَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لا يَسْتَوِي أَصْحابُ النَّارِ وَ أَصْحابُ الْجَنَّةِ أَصْحابُ الْجَنَّةِ هُمُ الْفائِزُونَ.
They are not equal, the inmates of the Fire and the dwellers of the Garden – the dwellers of the Garden are the victorious [59:20], and they are the Shias of Ali-asws. My-asws father-asws narrated to me-asws with that, from his-asws father-asws, from Umm Salama-as, wife of the Prophet-saww. She-as said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww read out to me-saww They are not equal, the inmates of the Fire and the dwellers of the Garden – the dwellers of the Garden are the victorious [59:20]’.[46]

From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘The one who supplicates to Allah-azwj through us-asws would succeed, and the one who supplicates through others would be destroyed and destroy (others)’.[47]

‘I was performing Rukou at the door of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and I was supplicating to Allah-azwj, when Amir Al-Momineen-asws came out and he-asws said: ‘O Asbagh!’ I said, ‘At your-asws service!’ He-asws said: ‘Which thing were you doing?’ I said, ‘I performed Rukou and I was supplicating’. He-asws said: ‘Shall I teach you a supplication I-asws heard from Rasool-Allah-saww?’ I said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ قُلْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا كَانَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ ع بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى مَنْكِبِيَ الْأَيْسَرِ وَ قَالَ يَا أَصْبَغُ لَئِنْ ثَبَتَتْ قَدَمُكَ وَ تَمَّتْ وَلَايَتُكَ وَ انْبَسَطَ يَدُكَ اللَّهُ أَرْحَمُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ.
He-asws said: ‘Say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj upon whatever has happened, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon every situation’. Then he-asws struck his-asws right hand upon my left shoulder and said: ‘O Asbagh! If your feet were firm, and your Wilayah was complete, and you were to extend your hands, Allah-azwj would be more Merciful with you than (you are with) your own self’.[48]

‘Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘O Mudrak! Our-asws matter isn’t by its acceptance only, but (it is) by its doing and its concealing from other than its rightful ones. Convey the greetings to our-asws companions, and the Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings, and say to them: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on a person who ruminates the cordiality of the people towards us-asws and narrates to them with what they are (already) recognising, and leave what they are denying’.[49]

أَخْبَرَنِي الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي التَّارِيخِ وَ الْمَوْضِعِ الْمُقَدَّمِ ذِكْرُهُمَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْمَرَاغِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ وَاصِلٍ الْأَسَدِيُّ عَنْ مُخَوَّلِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَزَوَّرٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ
It was informed to me by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy during the date and the place mentioned before, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Khalid Al Maraghy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Salih, from Abdul A’ala Bin Wasil Al Asady, from Mukhawwal Bin Ibrahim, from Ali Bin Hazawwar, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said,
سَمِعْتُ عَمَّارَ بْنَ يَاسِرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِيٍّ ع يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ زَيَّنَكَ بِزِينَةٍ لَمْ يُزَيِّنِ الْعِبَادَ بِزِينَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهَا زَيَّنَكَ بِالزُّهْدِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ جَعَلَكَ لَا تَرْزَأُ مِنْهَا شَيْئاً وَ لَا تَرْزَأُ مِنْكَ شَيْئاً وَ وَهَبَ لَكَ حُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ فَجَعَلَكَ تَرْضَى بِهِمْ أَتْبَاعاً وَ يَرْضَوْنَ بِكَ إِمَاماً
‘I heard Ammar Bin Yasser saying, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Allah-azwj has Adorned you-asws with an adornment He-azwj did not Adorn the servants with such an adornment. The most Beloved to Allah-azwj from these is your-asws being adorned with the ascetism in the world, you-asws would not be taking anything from it, and it would not be taking anything from you-asws, and Endowed to you-asws the love of the poor ones. He-azwj Made you-asws to be pleased with them as followers, and they to be pleased with you-asws as an Imam-asws.
فَطُوبَى لِمَنْ أَحَبَّكَ وَ صَدَقَ فِيكَ فَأُولَئِكَ جِيرَانُكَ فِي دَارِكَ وَ شُرَكَاؤُكَ فِي جَنَّتِكَ وَ أَمَّا مَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ وَ كَذَبَ عَلَيْكَ فَحَقَّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُوقِفَهُ مَوْقِفَ الْكَذَّابِينَ.
Therefore, beatitude is for the one who loves you-asws and is truthful regading you-asws, for they would be your-asws neighbours of your-asws house and your-asws associates in your-asws Garden. And as for the one who hates you and belies upon you-asws, it would be a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Pauses him in the pausing place of the liars’.[52]
[لا يقبل اللّه الحج إلا من الموالين لأهل البيت.]
Allah-azwj does not Accept the Hajj except from the loyalists of the People-asws of the Household

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al Toosy Al Walid, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiyah, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, from a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Hammad Bin Abu Talha, from Muaz Bin Kaseer who said,
نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمَوْقِفِ وَ النَّاسُ فِيهِ كَثِيرٌ فَدَنَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْمَوْقِفِ كَثِيرٌ قَالَ فَضَرَبَ بِبَصَرِهِ فَأَدَارَهُ فِيهِمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْنُ مِنِّي يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ فَدَنَوْتُ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ ع غُثَاءٌ يَأْتِي بِهَا الْمَوْجُ مِنْ كُلِّ مَكَانٍ مَا الْحَجُّ إِلَّا لَكُمْ وَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَقْبَلُ إِلَّا مِنْكُمْ.
‘I looked at the pausing stop (plains of Arafaat) and there were a lot of people in it. I went closer to Abu Abdullah-asws and I said, ‘The people of the pausing stop are numerous!’ He-asws struck his-asws sight and looked around among them, then said: ‘Come closer to me-asws, O servant of Allah-azwj’. I went closer to him, and he-asws said: ‘Scum which the waves bring in from every place. There is no Hajj except for you all (Shias), and no by Allah-azwj it will not be Accepted except from you all (Shias)’.[53]
[اللّه تعالى أخذ على الأنبياء و الرسل الإقرار بولاية علي «ع».]
Allah-azwj the Exalted Took the acknowledgement upon the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as with the Wilayah of Ali-asws

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the ascetic Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh at Al Rayy, by my reading upon it during Shaban of the year five hundred and ten, from Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Toosy during Rajab of the year four hundred and fifty five, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harsy, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’d Bin Abdullah , from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Talha Bin Zayd,
عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: مَا قَبَضَ اللَّهُ نَبِيّاً حَتَّى أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يُوصِيَ إِلَى أَفْضَلِ عَشِيرَتِهِ مِنْ عَصَبَتِهِ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُوصِيَ فَقُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ يَا رَبِّ
From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws who said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj did not Capture (the soul of) a Prophet-saww until He-azwj Commanded him-as to bequeath to the most superior of his-as family from his-as tribe, and He-azwj Commanded me-saww that I-azwj bequeath (as well). I-saww said: ‘To whom, O Lord-azwj?’.
فَقَالَ أَوْصِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِلَى ابْنِ عَمِّكَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَثْبَتُّهُ فِي الْكُتُبِ السَّالِفَةِ وَ كَتَبْتُ فِيهَا أَنَّهُ وَصِيُّكَ وَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَخَذْتُ مِيثَاقَ الْخَلَائِقِ وَ مَوَاثِيقَ أَنْبِيَائِي وَ رُسُلِي وَ أَخَذْتُ مِيثَاقَهُمْ لِي بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ وَ لَكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ لِعَلِيٍّ بِالْوَلَايَةِ.
He-azwj Said: ‘Bequeath, O Muhammad-saww, to the son-asws of your-saww uncle-as, Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, for I-azwj have Affirmed him-asws is the previous Books and Wrote in these that he-asws is your-saww successor-asws, and upon that I-azwj Took the Covenant of the creatures, and the Covenants of My-azwj Prophets-as and My-azwj Rasools-as, and Took their-as Covenants for Me-azwj of the Lordship, and for you-saww, O Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood, and for Ali-asws with the Wilayah’.[54]

It was informed to us by the trustworthy Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shahriyar Al Khazin, by my reading upon it during Zil Qadah of the year five hundred and twelve, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh Al Sadouq Abu Mansour Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdul Aziz Al Ka’abry (Al Akbary) Al Muaddil, reading upon it at the city of peace, from his bood, from Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Rizqawayh Al Baghday, from Abu Usman Bin Ahmad Al Sammak Al Daqqa, from Shareek, from Mansour, from Ibrahim, from Al Alqamah, from Abdullah who said,
مَرِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَرْضَةً فَغَدَا إِلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي الْغَلَسِ وَ كَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ لَا يَسْبِقَهُ إِلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي صَحْنِ الدَّارِ رَأْسُهُ فِي حَجْرِ دِحْيَةَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ قَالَ وَ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ أَمَا إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ وَ لَكَ عِنْدِي مَدِيحَةٌ أُلْقِيهَا إِلَيْكَ قَالَ لَهُ قُلْ
‘Rasool-Allah-saww fell sick with an illness, so Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws came to him-saww in the morning during twilight, and he-asws used to love that no one else should precede him-asws to him-saww. There he-saww was in the courtyard of the house, his-saww head being in the lap of Dihiyat Bin Khalifa Al-Kalby. He-asws said: ‘The greetings be upon you’. He said: ‘And upon you-asws be the greetings and the Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings. As for I, I love you-asws, and there are eulogies with me-saww for you-asws, to cast these to you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Say it’.
قَالَ أَنْتَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَنْتَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ أَنْتَ سَيِّدُ وُلْدِ آدَمَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا خَلَا النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ بِيَدِكَ تُزَفُّ أَنْتَ وَ شِيعَتُكَ زَفّاً زَفّاً إِلَى الْجِنَانِ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَوَلَّاكَ وَ خَابَ وَ خسرك [خَسِرَ] مَنْ تَخَلَّاكَ
He said: ‘You-asws are the Emir of the Momineen, and you-asws are the Guide of the resplendent, and you-asws are the Chief of the children of Adam-as up to the Day of Qiyamah, apart from the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as. The Flag of Praise would be in your-asws hand. You-asws and your-asws Shias would be hastened, quickly, quickly to the Gardens. Successful is the one who befriends you-asws, and failed and incurred a loss, the one who is devoid of you-asws.
لِحُبِّ مُحَمَّدٍ أَحَبُّوكَ وَ لِبُغْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَبْغَضُوكَ لَنْ تَنَالَهُمْ شَفَاعَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ ادْنُ إِلَى صَفْوَةِ اللَّهِ أَخِيكَ وَ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ وَ أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ النَّاسِ بِهِ
It is for the love of Muhammad-saww I love you-asws, and for the hatred of Muhammad-saww I get angry for-asws. The intercession of Muhammad-saww will never be attained by them. Come closer to the Elite of Allah-azwj, your-asws brother-saww, and your-asws cousin, and you are the most rightful of the people with him-saww’.

Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws went closer and grabbed the head of Rasool-Allah-saww, and grabbed it gently, and placed it in his-asws own lap. Rasool-Allah-saww paid attention and he-saww said: ‘What is this humming?’. Ali-asws informed him with the discussion, so Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘That did not happen to be Diyat Bin Khalifa Al-Kalby. That was Jibraeel-as. He-as named you-asws with the names Allah-azwj had Named you-asws with, and he-as is the one who casts your-asws love in the hearts and chests of the Momineen, and your-asws awe and your-asws fear in the chests of the disbelievers, and for you-asws, in the Presence of Allah-azwj is a numerous multiple addition’.[55]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhamamd Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws in the year five hundred and eleven, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Abu Awana Musa Bin Yusuf Bin Rashid Al Kufy, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Bin Badi’e Al Khazzaz, from Al-Husayn Al Ashqar, from Qays, from Lays, from Abu Layli,

From Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Necessitate our-asws cordiality, of the People-asws of the Household, for the one who meets Allah-azwj and he-asws is cordial to us-asws would enter the Paradise by our-asws intercession.

It was informed to us by the Sheylh, the jurist Abu Ali Bin Al Toosy, in the preceding date and place mentioned, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Nasr Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Muqry, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Hanafy, from Yahya Bin Hashim Al Sammak, from Umar Bin Shimr, from Hammad, from Abu Al Zubeyr, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Bin Hizam who said,
أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ وَصِيُّكَ قَالَ فَأَمْسَكَ عَشْراً لَا يُجِيبُنِي ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا جَابِرُ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكَ عَمَّا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقُلْتُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَمَ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَكَتَّ عَنِّي حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ وَجَدْتَ عَلَيَّ
‘I went over to Rasool-Allah-saww and I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Who is your-saww successor-asws?’ But he-saww withheld for ten (days) not answering me. Then he-saww said, ‘O Jabir! Shall I-saww inform you about what you had asked me-saww (ten days ago)?’. So I said, ‘Yes, with my father and my mother being (sacrificed) for you-saww. By Allah-azwj! You-saww had been silent from me to the extent that I thought that you-saww found (something) against me’.
فَقَالَ مَا وَجَدْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا جَابِرُ وَ لَكِنْ كُنْتُ أَنْتَظِرُ مَا يَأْتِينِي مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَأَتَانِي جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ إِنَّ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَصِيُّكَ وَ خَلِيفَتُكَ عَلَى أَهْلِكَ وَ أُمَّتِكَ وَ الذَّائِدُ عَنْ حَوْضِكَ وَ هُوَ صَاحِبُ لِوَائِكَ يَقْدُمُكَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ
He-saww said: ‘I-saww had not found (anything) against you, O Jabir! But, I-saww was awaiting what would come to me from the sky. So Jibraeel-saww came to me-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Your-saww Lord-azwj Conveys the Greetings to you-saww and is Saying to you-saww: “Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws is your-saww successor-asws and your-saww Caliph upon your-saww family and your-saww community, and the defender from your-saww Fountain, and he-asws is the bearer of your-saww Flag, preceding you-saww to the Paradise”.

وَ أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو عَلِيِّ بْنُ الطُّوسِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْمَوْضِعِ وَ التَّارِيخِ الْمُقَدَّمِ ذِكْرُهُمَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْحَارِثِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجِعَابِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْأَشْقَرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَارَةَ الْكُوفِيِّ قَالَ
And it was informed to us bythe Sheykh, the jurist Abu Ali Bin Al Toosy, in the location and the date mentioned beforehand, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harsy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed al Hamdany, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Umar Bin Utba, from Husayn Al Ashqar, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umarat Al Kufy who said,
سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَقُولُ: مَنْ دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ فِينَا دَمْعَةً لِدَمٍ سُفِكَ لَنَا أَوْ حَقٍّ نُقِصْنَاهُ أَوْ عِرْضٍ انْتُهِكَ لَنَا أَوْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا بَوَّأَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ حُقُباً.
I heard Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘The one whose eyes flow with tears regarding us-asws for the blood of ours-asws which was spilt, or a right of ours-asws which we-asws were reduced from, or a sanctity of ours-asws which was violated, or of any one of our-asws Shias, Allah-azwj the Exalted would, due to it, Dwell him in the Paradise for epochs’.[64]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الزَّاهِدُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِالرَّيِّ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ فِي رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةِ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ الْكِنْدِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَدْوَانَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ
It ws informed to us by the ascetic Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, at Al Rayy in the year five hundred and ten during Rabbi Al Awwal, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, during the Month of Ramazan of the year four hundred and fifty five at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al numan, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Suleyman Bin Salama Al Kindy, from Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Adwan, from Isa Bin Abu Mansour, from Aban Bin Taghlub,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: نَفَسُ الْمَهْمُومِ لِظُلْمِنَا تَسْبِيحٌ وَ هَمُّهُ عِبَادَةٌ وَ كِتْمَانُ سِرِّنَا جِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
From Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘A breath (taken by) the one concerned for the injustices upon us-asws is a Glorification, and his concern is worship, and his concealing of our-asws secrets is Jihaad in the Way of Allah-azwj’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَجِبُ أَنْ يُكْتَبَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ بِالذَّهَبِ.
Then Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘It is a must that you write this Hadeeth in gold’’.[65]
[حديث لو كانت أوكية على ألسنتكم. إلخ.]
Hadeeth: ‘If only there were stoppers upon your tongues’, etc.

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Toosy during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, by my reading upon it, from Al Saeed al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from the Sheykh, the jurist Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from The noble Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Tahir, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from his father, from Zareyf Bin Nasih, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al Asamma the scholar,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ لِجَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِكُمْ أَوْكِيَةً لَأَخْبَرْتُ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ بِمَا لَا يَسْتَوْحِشُ مَعَهُ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَكِنْ قَدْ سَبَقَتْ فِيكُمُ الْإِذَاعَةُ وَ اللَّهُ بالِغُ أَمْرِهِ.
From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard my-asws father-asws saying to a group of his-asws companions: ‘By Allah-azwj! If there were stoppers upon your mouths I-asws would have informed every man from you with that he would not lonely (while) with it, whichever thing it may be. But, the broadcasting has preceded among you, and Allah-azwj will Deliver His-azwj Command’.[66]

The quotation of Amir Al-Momineen-asws with the Quran upon the disbelief of those who battled him-asws
أَخْبَرَنَا الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِالْمَوْضِعِ وَ التَّارِيخِ الْمُقَدَّمِ ذِكْرُهُمَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ بِلَالٍ الْمُهَلَّبِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ رَبِيعٍ الْبَلْخِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ النَّهْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ الْمِنْقَرِيُّ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ بِلَالٍ وَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَسَدٍ الْمَنْصُورُ الْأَصْفَهَانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هِلَالٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ مُزَاحِمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ يَعْلَى الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَزَوَّرٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the jurist Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhamman Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy at the place and the date mentioned before, from Al Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al Numan, from Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Bilal Al Muhalby, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Humeyd Bin Rabi’e Al Balkhy, from Suleyman Bin Al Rabi’e Al Nahdy, from Nasr Bin Muzahim Miqry, from Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Bilal, and Ali Bin Ubeydullah Bin Asad Al Mansour Al Isfahany, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Hilal Al Saqafy, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Nasr Bin Muzahim, from Yahya Bin Ya’la Al Aslamy, from ali Bin Hazawwir, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said,
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ نُقَاتِلُهُمُ الدَّعْوَةُ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ الرَّسُولُ وَاحِدٌ وَ الصَّلَاةُ وَاحِدٌ الْحَجُّ وَاحِدٌ فَبِمَ نُسَمِّيهِمْ
A man came over to Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! These people whom we are fighting, the call is one, and the Rasool-saww is one, and the Salat is one, and the Hajj is one, so by what should we be naming them?’
قَالَ ع سَمِّهِمْ بِمَا سَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي كِتَابِهِ تِلْكَ الرُّسُلُ فَضَّلْنا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلى بَعْضٍ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَلَّمَ اللَّهُ وَ رَفَعَ بَعْضَهُمْ دَرَجاتٍ وَ آتَيْنا عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ الْبَيِّناتِ وَ أَيَّدْناهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ وَ لَوْ شاءَ اللَّهُ مَا اقْتَتَلَ الَّذِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ ما جاءَتْهُمُ الْبَيِّناتُ وَ لكِنِ اخْتَلَفُوا فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ آمَنَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَفَرَ
He-asws said: ‘Name them by what Allah-azwj Exalted Named them in His-azwj Book: [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; and had Allah so Desired, those (people) from after them (Rasools) would not have fought after the clear proofs had come to them. But, they differed, so from them was one who expressed belief, and from them was one who committed Kufr. [2:253].
فَلَمَّا وَقَعَ الِاخْتِلَافُ كُنَّا نَحْنُ أَوْلَى بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ص وَ بِالْكِتَابِ وَ بِالْحَقِّ فَنَحْنُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ هُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَ شَاءَ اللَّهُ قِتَالَهُمْ بِمَشِيَّتِهِ وَ إِرَادَتِهِ.
When the differing occurred, it was so that we-asws were the closest with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic by the Prophet-saww, and by the Book, and by the Truth. Thus, we-asws are those who believed and they are those who disbelieved, and Allah-azwj Desired their killing by His-azwj Desire and His-azwj Intention’.[67]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ [بْنُ] الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ الْكَاتِبُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh,the jurist Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-HusaynBin Babuwayh, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Abu AlQasim Ismail Bin Muhammad Al Anbary the scribe, from Abu Abdullah Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Azdy, from Shuayb Bin Ayoub, from Muawiya Bin Hisham Bin Hassan Bin Hassan, from sufyan, from Hisham Bin Hassan who said,
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ بِالْبَيْعَةِ لَهُ فَقَالَ نَحْنُ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ الْغَالِبُونَ وَ عِتْرَةُ رَسُولِهِ الْأَقْرَبُونَ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبُونَ الطَّاهِرُونَ وَ أَحَدُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ خَلَّفَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي أُمَّتِهِ وَ الثَّانِي فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ فِيهِ تَفْصِيلُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لا يَأْتِيهِ الْباطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ لا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ
‘I heard Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws addressing the people with the allegiance to him-asws, and he-asws said: ‘We-asws are the Party of Allah-azwj, the overcoming, and the family of His-azwj Rasool-saww, the ones of Proximity, and the People-asws of his-saww Household, the goodly, the clean, and one of the two weighty things which Rasool-Allah-saww left behind among his-saww community, and the double (second) in the Book of Allah-azwj wherein is the detail of everything. Neither did the falsehood come from before it, nor (would it come) from after it. [41:42].
فَالْمُعَوَّلُ عَلَيْنَا فِي تَفْسِيرِهِ لَا يُتْعِبُنَا تَأْوِيلُهُ بَلْ نَتَيَقَّنُ حَقَائِقَهُ فَأَطِيعُونَا فَإِنَّ طَاعَتَنَا مَفْرُوضَةٌ إِذْ كَانَتْ بِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ مَقْرُونَةً
Thus, the reliance is to be upon us regarding its interpretation. Explaining it does not tire us-asws, but we-asws speak of its realities. Therefore, follow us-asws, of obedience to us-asws is a necessity when it is paired with the obedience to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and of His-azwj Rasool-saww.
قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنْ تَنازَعْتُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ الرَّسُولِ
Allah-azwj the Exalted Says: O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you. Thus, if you were to quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Rasool [4:59].
وَ لَوْ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ وَ إِلى أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْهُمْ لَعَلِمَهُ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَنْبِطُونَهُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أُحَذِّرُكُمُ الْإِصْغَاءَ لِهُتَافِ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهُ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ لَكُمْ فَتَكُونُوا كَأُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطَانُ لا غالِبَ لَكُمُ الْيَوْمَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ إِنِّي جارٌ لَكُمْ فَلَمَّا تَراءَتِ الْفِئَتانِ نَكَصَ عَلى عَقِبَيْهِ وَ قالَ إِنِّي بَرِيءٌ مِنْكُمْ إِنِّي أَرى ما لا تَرَوْنَ
And if they were to refer it to the Rasool-saww and to those in (Divine) Authority among them, he-asws would teach the ones who are deriving from them, and he-asws would caution you all of the accumulating to the acclaims of the Satan-la, for he-la is an open enemy to you all, and you would become like those for whom the Satan-la said: ‘There would be none from the people to overcome you today, and I am a friend for you’. So when the two parties saw (each other), he turned upon his heels and said, ‘I am disavowed from you. Surely I can see what you are not seeing. [8:48].
فَتُلْقَوْنَ إِلَى الرِّمَاحِ زورا [وَزَراً] وَ إِلَى السُّيُوفِ جَزَراً وَ لِلْعُمُدِ حَطَماً وَ لِلسِّهَامِ غَرَضاً ثُمَ لا يَنْفَعُ نَفْساً إِيمانُها لَمْ تَكُنْ آمَنَتْ مِنْ قَبْلُ أَوْ كَسَبَتْ فِي إِيمانِها خَيْراً.
You would be meeting to the spears falsely (sinning), and to the swords retreating, and to the crowds deliberately, and to drawing of lots purposely. Then, a soul will not benefit from its Eman which had not believed from before, or earned goodness during its Eman. [6:158]’’.[68]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Al Najam (Muhammad) Bin Abdul Wahhab Bin Isa Al Razy, reading upon it in Masjid Al Gharby at the alleyway of Zamahran, during Safar of the year five hundred and ten, from Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Al Neyshapoury, from Muhammad Bin Awf, from Al-Hassan Bin Muneer, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Aamir, from Abu Hatim Muhammad Bin Idrees Al Hanzaly, dictated during the days of Hisham Bin Aamir, from Abu Walid Al-Hassan Bin Al-Hassan Al Balkhy Al Jafiz, by his reading upon it, and he heard it from him, from Abdul Aziz Al Khatab, from Ali Bin Al Qasim, from Ali Bin Abdullah, from Abu Ubeyda Bin Mhammad Bin Ammar Bin Yasser, from his father, Ammar Bin Yasser, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said,
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: أَوْصِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَ صَدَّقَنِي بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَمَنْ تَوَلَّاهُ فَقَدْ تَوَلَّانِي وَ مَنْ تَوَلَّانِي فَقَدْ تَوَلَّى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.

It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Ali Al Toosy, by my reading upon it during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Al Toosy, from Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Ali Bin Al Abbas Bin Al Walid, from Ibrahim Bin Bashir Bin Khalid, from Mansour Bin Yaqoub, from Amro Bin Maymoun, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Aa’la, from Suweyd Bin Ghaflat who said,
سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً ع يَقُولُ: وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ صَبَبْتُ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْمُنَافِقِ صَبّاً مَا أَحَبَّنِي وَ لَوْ ضَرَبْتُ بِسَيْفِي هَذَا خَيْشُومَ الْمُؤْمِنِ لَأَحَبَّنِي وَ ذَلِكَ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا يُحِبُّكَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ.
‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘By Allah-azwj! If I-asws were to pour the world upon the hypocrite with a pouring, he would not love me-asws, but if I-asws were to strike with this sword of mine-asws, the nose of the Momin, he would (still) love me-asws, and that is because I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘O Ali-asws! None will love you except for a Momin nor would he hate you-asws except for a hypocrite’’.[70]

It was informed to me by the Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shahriyar Al Khazin, by my reading upon it during Zil qadah of the year five hundred and twelve, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Abu Al Faraj Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Aamir Bin Allan Al Moaddal at Al kufa, reading upon it, during the month of Rabbi Al Awwal of the year four hundred and sixty four, from Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Haroun Al Tameemy Al Ashnany, reading upon it, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub Al Asady, from Husayn Bin Zayd,

From Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Necessitated five (things) and did not Necessitate except for good (and) beautiful – the Salat, and the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Fasts, and our Wilayah of the People-asws of the Household. But the people acted with four and took lightly with the fifth. By Allah-azwj! The four cannot be complete until these are completed with the fifth!’[72]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it in the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven, from Al Saeed Al Walid Bu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Raib, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ خَلْقاً أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَنْزِلُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ فَيَأْتُونَ الْبَيْتَ الْمَعْمُورَ فَيَطُوفُونَ بِهِ فَإِذَا هُمْ طَافُوا بِهِ نَزَلُوا فَطَافُوا بِالْكَعْبَةِ
From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj did not Create creatures more numerous than the Angels, and it is so that every day and night, seventy thousand Angels descend, and they are coming to the Oft-frequented House (Bayt Al-Mamour), and they are peroforming Tawaaf with it. When have performed Tawaaf of it, they descend and they perform Tawaaf of the Kabah.
فَإِذَا طَافُوا بِهَا أَتَوْا قَبْرَ النَّبِيِّ ص فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَتَوْا إِلَى قَبْرِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَتَوْا قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَسَلَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ عَرَجُوا وَ يَنْزِلُ مِثْلُهُمْ أَبَداً هَكَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
When they have performed Tawaaf with it, they come over to the grave of the Prophet-saww and they are greeting upon him-saww. Then they come to the grave of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and they greet upon him-asws. Then they come to the grave of Al-Husayn-asws, and they greet upon him-asws. Then they ascend, and the likes of them descend, for ever. Like this it is up to the Day of Qiyamah’.
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ غَيْرَ مُتَجَبِّرٍ وَ لَا مُتَكَبِّرٍ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَجْرَ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ شَهِيدٍ وَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ بُعِثَ مِنَ الْآمِنِينَ وَ هُوِّنَ عَلَيْهِ الْحِسَابُ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ
And he-asws said: ‘The one visits (performs Tawaaf of) the grave of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, recognising of his-asws rights without being haughty nor being arrogant, Allah-azwj would Write for him the Recompense of a thousand martyrs, and Allah-azwj would Forgive whatever preceded from his sins and whatever is delayed, and Resurrect him from the secured ones, and Ease the Reckoning upon him, and the Angels would welcome him.
فَإِذَا انْصَرَفَ شَيَّعُوهُ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَإِذَا مَرِضَ عَادُوهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ تَبِعُوهُ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ
When he is free, they (the Angels) would escort him to his house, and when he is sick, they would console him, and if he dies, they would follow him (his funeral) with the seeking of Forgiveness up to his grave’.
قَالَ وَ مَنْ زَارَ قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع عَارِفاً بِحَقِّهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ثَوَابَ أَلْفِ حِجَّةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ وَ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ مَقْبُولَةٍ وَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ.
He-asws said: ‘The one who visits (performs Tawaaf of) the grave of Al-Husayn-asws, recognising his-asws rights, Allah-azwj would Write for him the Rewards of a thousand Accepted Hajj, and a thousand Accepted Umrahs, and Allah-azwj would Forgive for him whatever preceded from his sins and whatever was delayed’.[73]

‘I described my Religion to Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhamad-asws, I said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, Alone, there being no associates for Him-azwj.

Then Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, then Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, then you-asws’.
فَقَالَ ع رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْوَرَعِ وَ صِدْقِ الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَدَاءِ الطَّاعَةِ وَ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ عِفَّةِ الْبَطْنِ وَ الْفَرْجِ تَكُونُوا مَعَنَا فِي الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى.
He-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on you!’. Then he-asws said: ‘Fear Allah-azwj! Fear Allah-azwj! Upon you all is to be with the devoutness, and truthful narration, and fulfilling the obedient acts, and the entrustments, and the chastity of the belly and the private parts, you will happen to be with us-asws among the lofty friends’.[74]

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الزَّاهِدُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ بِالرَّيِّ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي شَهْرِ اللَّهِ الْمُبَارَكِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْهُ سَنَةَ خَمْسٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْحَارِثِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجِعَابِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عِيسَى بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْجَرْمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the ascetic Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, by my reading upon it at Al Rayy in the year five hundred and ten, from the Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, during the Blessed Month of Allah-azwj, the Month of Ramazan, in the year four hundred and fifty five at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harsy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Umar Al Jiany, from Abu Muhammad Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Ziyad, from his book, from Ahmad Bin Isa Bin Al-Hassan Jarmy, from Nasr Bin Hammad, from Umar Bin Shimr, from Jabir Al Ju’fy, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali-asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansary-ra who said,
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تَقُومَ بِتَفْضِيلِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع خَطِيباً عَلَى أَصْحَابِكَ لِيُبَلِّغُوا مَنْ بَعْدَهُمْ ذَلِكَ عَنْكَ وَ يَأْمُرُ جَمِيعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ مَا نَذْكُرُهُ
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as descended unto me-saww and said: ‘Allah-azwj Commands you-asws that you-saww should stand with the merits of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws addressing upon your-saww companions in order to deliver that to the ones from after them, from you-saww. And He-azwj Commanded the entirety of the Angels that they listen to what we-asws are mentioning.
وَ اللَّهُ يُوحِي إِلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَنَّ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ فِي أَمْرِهِ فَلَهُ النَّارُ وَ مَنْ أَطَاعَكَ فِي أَمْرِهِ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ
And Allah-azwj is Revealing to you-asws, O Muhammad-saww, that the one who opposesyou-saww with regards to his-asws matter, so for him would be the Fire, and the one who obeys you-saww with regards to his-asws matter, so for him would be the Paradise’’.
فَأَمَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ وَ خَرَجَ حَتَّى عَلَا الْمِنْبَرَ فَكَانَ أَوَّلُ مَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
The Prophet-saww ordered a caller to call for the congregational Salat, and the people gathered, and he-saww went out until he-saww was at the top (tier of) the Pulpit, and the first of what he-saww spoke with was: – ‘I-saww seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the Pelted Satan-la. In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful!’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَنَا الْبَشِيرُ النَّذِيرُ وَ أَنَا النَّبِيُّ الْأُمِّيُّ إِنِّي مُبَلِّغُكُمْ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي أَمْرِ رَجُلٍ لَحْمُهُ مِنْ لَحْمِي وَ دَمُهُ مِنْ دَمِي وَ هُوَ عَيْبَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي انْتَجَبَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ وَ اصْطَفَاهُ وَ هَدَاهُ وَ تَوَلَّاهُ
Then he-saww said: ‘O you people! I-saww am the giver of glad tidings and the warner, and I-saww am the Ummy Prophet-saww. I-saww am delivering to you all from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic regarding a matter of a man, whose flesh is from my-saww flesh, and his-asws blood is from my-saww blood, and he-asws is the receptacle of the Knowledge, and he-asws the one whom Allah-azwj Nominated from this community, and Chose him-asws, and Guided him-asws, and Befriended him-asws.
وَ خَلَقَنِي وَ إِيَّاهُ وَ فَضَّلَنِي بِالرِّسَالَةِ وَ فَضَّلَهُ بِالتَّبْلِيغِ عَنِّي وَ جَعَلَنِي مَدِينَةَ الْعِلْمِ وَ جَعَلَهُ خَازِنَ الْعِلْمِ الْمُقْتَبَسِ مِنْهُ الْأَحْكَامُ وَ خَصَّهُ بِالْوَصِيَّةِ وَ أَبَانَ أَمْرَهُ وَ خَوَّفَ مِنْ عَدَاوَتِهِ وَ أَزْلَفَ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ غَفَرَ لِشِيعَتِهِ وَ أَمَرَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً بِطَاعَتِهِ
And He-azwj Created me-saww and him-asws and Graced me-saww with the Message and Graced him-asws with the preaching on my-saww behalf, and Made me-saww the city of Knowledge and Made him-asws the treasurer of the Knowledge. The rulings are to be attained from him-asws. And He-azwj Specialised him-asws with the successorship, and Clarified his-asws matter and Scared from being his-asws enemy and Drew nearer the one who befriended him-asws, and Forgave (the sins) of his-asws Shias, and Commanded the entirety of the people with his-asws obedience.
وَ أَنَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ عَادَاهُ فَقَدْ عَادَانِي وَ مَنْ وَالاهُ فَقَدْ وَالانِي وَ مَنْ نَاصَبَهُ فَقَدْ نَاصَبَنِي وَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ فَقَدْ خَالَفَنِي وَ مَنْ عَصَاهُ فَقَدْ عَصَانِي وَ مَنْ آذَاهُ آذَانِي وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ أَبْغَضَنِي وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ أَحَبَّنِي وَ مَنْ أَرَادَهُ أَرَادَنِي وَ مَنْ كَادَهُ كَادَنِي وَ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ نَصَرَنِي
And it is so that the Mighty and Majestic is Saying: “The one who is inimical to him-asws so he has been inimical to Me-azwj, and the one who befriends him-asws so he has befriended Him-azwj, and the one who is hostile to him-asws so he has been hostile to Me-azwj, and the one who opposes him-asws so he has opposed Me-azwj, and the one who disobeys him-asws so he has disobeyed Me-azwj, and the one who hurts him-asws so he has Hurt Me-azwj, and the one who hates him-asws hates Me-azwj, and the one who loves him-asws loves Me-azwj, and the one who intends (to attack) him-asws intends Me-azwj, and the one who plots (against) him-asws plots (against) Me-azwj, and the one who helps him-asws helps Me-azwj.
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اسْمَعُوا لِمَا آمُرُكُمْ بِهِ وَ أَطِيعُوا فَإِنِّي أُخَوِّفُكُمْ عِقَابَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ تَجِدُ كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ما عَمِلَتْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ مُحْضَراً وَ ما عَمِلَتْ مِنْ سُوءٍ تَوَدُّ لَوْ أَنَّ بَيْنَها وَ بَيْنَهُ أَمَداً بَعِيداً وَ يُحَذِّرُكُمُ اللَّهُ نَفْسَهُ
O you people! Listen to what I-saww am ordering you all with and obey, for I-saww am fearful for you of the Punishment of Allah-azwj: On the Day every soul shall find what it has done of good to be present and what it has done of evil. It will wish that between it and him there was a long duration; and Allah Cautions you all Himself; [3:30]’.
ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِيَدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ يَا مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ هَذَا مَوْلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ الْمُجَاهِدُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ وَ هُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى إِصْلَاحِهِمْ فَأَصْلِحْهُمْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لِي وَ لَكُمْ
Then he-saww grabbed the hand of Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws and he-saww said: ‘O group of people! This is the Master-asws of the Momineen and a Divine Authority of Allah-azwj upon the creatures in their entirety, and the fighter against the disbelievers. O Allah-azwj! I-saww have delivered, and they are Your-azwj servants, and You-azwj are Able upon Correcting them, therefore Correct them by Your-azwj Mercy, of most Merciful of the merciful ones! I-azwj seek Forgiveness of myself-saww and for you all’.
ثُمَّ نَزَلَ عَنِ الْمِنْبَرِ فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ اللَّهُ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ عَنْ تَبْلِيغِكَ خَيْراً فَقَدْ بَلَّغْتَ رِسَالاتِ رَبِّكَ وَ نَصَحْتَ لِأُمَّتِكَ وَ أَرْضَيْتَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَرْغَمْتَ الْكَافِرِينَ
Then he-saww descended from the Pulpit, and Jibraeel-as came over to him-saww and he-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Allah-azwj Conveys the Greetings to you-saww and is Saying to you-saww that Allah-azwj will Recompense you-saww goodly for your-saww preaching for you-saww have delivered the Message of your-saww Lord-azwj, and you-saww advised your-saww community and pleased the Momineen, and forced the disbelievers.
يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ ابْنَ عَمِّكَ مُبْتَلًى وَ مُبْتَلًى بِهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ فِي كُلِّ أَوْقَاتِكَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ سَيَعْلَمُ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا أَيَّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ.
O Muhammad-saww! The son-asws of your-saww uncle-as is afflicted and would be afflicted with. O Muhammad-saww! Say during every time, ‘The Praise is for Allah Lord of the Worlds [1:2], And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26:227]’’.[77]

It was informed tome by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy during Shaban of the year five hundred and eleven, by my reading upon it at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiyah, from his father and Muhamamd Bin Al-Hassan, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Kuleyb Bin Muawiya Al Saydawi who said,
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع: مَا يَمْنَعُكُمْ إِذَا كَلَّمَكُمُ النَّاسُ أَنْ تَقُولُوا ذَهَبْنَا حَيْثُ ذَهَبَ اللَّهُ وَ اخْتَرْنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَارَ مُحَمَّداً وَ اخْتَارَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ فَنَحْنُ مُتَمَسِّكُونَ بِالْخِيَرَةِ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
‘Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘What is preventing you all when you speak to the people that you should be saying: ‘We are going wherever Allah-azwj (Causes us to) go, and we choose from where Allah-azwj Chooses. Allah-azwj Chose Muhammad-asws and Chose the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww. Thus, were are attaching with the Choice from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[78]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيِّ بْنُ الطُّوسِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِالْمَوْضِعِ وَ التَّارِيخِ الْمَذْكُورِ الْمُقَدَّمِ ذِكْرُهُمَا قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا السَّعِيدُ الْوَالِدُ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْحَارِثِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكَاتِبُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحِمَّانِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ الْأَصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Bin Al Toosy at the place and the date mentioned before, from Al Saeed Al Walid, from Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Muhammad the scribe, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Za’frany, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafy, from Abu Ja’far Al Sa’ady, from Yahya Bin Abdul Hameed Al Himmany, from Qays Bin Al Rabi’e, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf, from Al Asbagh Bin Numabar, from Abu Ayoub Al Ansary,
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص سُئِلَ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ فَقَالَ أَمَّا إِذَا سَأَلْتُمُونِي عَنْهُ فَأُخْبِرُكُمْ أَنَّ الْحَوْضَ أَكْرَمَنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ وَ فَضَّلَنِي عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلِي مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْلَةَ وَ صَنْعَاءَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْآنِيَةِ مِنْ عَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ تَسِيلُ فِيهِ خُلْجَانٌ مِنَ الْمَاءِ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضاً مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ حَصْبَاؤُهُ الزُّمُرُّدُ وَ الْيَاقُوتُ بَطْحَاؤُهُ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ
‘Rasool-Allah-saww was asked about the Fountain, so he-saww said: ‘But, as you are asking me-saww about it, so I-saww shall inform you all that the Fountain is what Allah-azwj has Honoured me-azwj with, and Preferred me-saww over the ones who were before me-saww, and it is (it’s size is) what is between Eilat (in Israel) and Sana’a (in Yemen). Therein are from the vessels of the number of stars of the sky. The creeks of water flow in it which is intensely whiter than the milk, and sweeter than the honey. Its pebbles are of emeralds and rubies. Its stretch is of Musk of Azfar.
شَرْطٌ مَشْرُوطٌ مِنْ رَبِّي لَا يَرِدُهُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي إِلَّا النَّقِيَّةُ قُلُوبُهُمُ الصَّحِيحَةُ نِيَّاتُهُمُ الْمُسَلِّمُونَ لِلْوَصِيِّ بَعْدِي الَّذِينَ يُعْطُونَ مَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِي يُسْرٍ وَ لَا يَأْخُذُونَ مَا لَهُمْ فِي عُسْرٍ يَذُودُ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّجُلُ الْبَعِيرَ الْأَجْرَبَ مِنْ شُرْبِ الْمَاءِ لَمْ يَظْمَأْ أَبَداً.
There is a stipulation from the Stipulations of my-saww Lord-azwj that no one from my-saww community would return to it except for the ones pure of their hearts and correct of of their intentions. The submitters to my-saww successor-asws from after me-saww, those who are giving what is upon them during the ease, and are not taking what is for them during the difficulties. He-asws would defend from it on the Day of Qiyamah from the ones who aren’t from his-asws Shias, just as the man tends to defend defends from the scabby camel from drinking the water. They would never be thirsty, ever!’.[79]

The advice of Abu Ja’far-asws to a group of the Shias
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْفَقِيهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي مَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْأَمِينُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَهْرِيَارَ الْخَازِنُ وَ الشَّيْخُ الرَّئِيسُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ الْحَارِثِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh, the jurist Abu Al Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al Toosy during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven, by my reading upon it in the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from the trustworthy Sheykh Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shahriya Al Khazin and the chief Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, from Al Skeykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from Ali Bin Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Umar Bin Shimr, from Jabir who said,
دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ نَحْنُ جَمَاعَةٌ بَعْدَ مَا قَضَيْنَا نُسُكَنَا فَوَدَّعْنَاهُ وَ قُلْنَا لَهُ أَوْصِنَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لِيُعِنْ قَوِيَّكُمْ ضَعِيفَكُمْ وَ لْيَعْطِفْ غَنِيُّكُمْ عَلَى فَقِيرِكُمْ وَ لْيَنْصَحِ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ النَّصِيحَةَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ اكْتُمُوا أَسْرَارَنَا وَ لَا تَحْمِلُوا النَّاسَ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِنَا وَ انْظُرُوا أَمْرَنَا وَ مَا جَاءَكُمْ عَنَّا فَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ لِلْقُرْآنِ مُوَافِقاً فَخُذُوا بِهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَجِدُوهُ مُوَافِقاً فَرُدُّوهُ
‘We went over to Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali-asws, and we were a group having had fulfilled our rituals. We bade farewell to him-asws and said to him-asws, ‘Advise us, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!’ He-asws said: ‘Let your strong ones assist your weak ones, and let your rich ones be kind to your poor ones, and let the man advise his brother of the advice to himself, and be concealing of our-asws secrets, and do not load the people upon our-asws necks, and look into our-asws matter and whatever comes to you all from us-asws. If you find it to be in accordance with the Quran, then take with it, and if you do not find it in accordance with the Quran, so reject it.
وَ إِنِ اشْتَبَهَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقِفُوا عِنْدَهُ وَ رُدُّوهُ إِلَيْنَا حَتَّى نَشْرَحَ لَكُمْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا شُرِحَ لَنَا وَ إِذَا كُنْتُمْ كَمَا أَوْصَيْنَاكُمْ لَمْ تَعَدَّوْا إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَمَاتَ مِنْكُمْ [مَيِّتٌ] قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ قَائِمُنَا كَانَ شَهِيداً وَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنْكُمْ قَائِمَنَا فَقُتِلَ مَعَهُ كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُ شَهِيدَيْنِ وَ مَنْ قَتَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَدُوّاً لَنَا كَانَ لَهُ أَجْرُ عِشْرِينَ شَهِيداً.
And if the matter is confusing upon you, so pause during it and refer it to us-asws until we-asws explain it for you from that what has been explained to us-asws. And when you are just as I-asws am advising you to be, not having transgressed to something else, and a dying one dies from you before the coming out of our-asws Qaim-asws, he would be a martyr, and the one from you who comes across our-asws Qaim-asws and is killed with him-asws, there would be for him the Recompense of two martyrs; and the one who kills an enemy of ours-asws in front of him-asws would have for him the Recompense of twenty martyrs’.[80]

Two Ahadeeth of Al Mansour Al Dawaniqy regarding the merits of Amir Al-Momineen-asws
وَجَدْتُ مَكْتُوباً بِخَطِّ وَالِدِي أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ الْفَقِيهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَدِيٍّ بِجُرْجَانَ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ الصُّوفِيِّ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ:
I found written in the handwriting of my father Al Qasim the jurits, narrated from Abu Muhammad Abdullah Bin Adayy at Jurjan, from Abu Yaqoub Al Sowfy, from Ibn Abdul Rahman Al Ansary, from Al Amsh Suleyman who said,
بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ هُوَ نَازِلٌ بطريايا فَأَتَانِي رَسُولُهُ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقَالَ أَجِبْ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ إِلَّا لِيَسْأَلَنِي عَنْ فَضَائِلِ عَلِيٍّ فَلَعَلِّي إِنْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ قَتَلَنِي
‘(The Caliph) Abu Ja’far (Al Mansour Al Dawaniqy), the commander of the faithful, sent for me, and he had lodged at Taryaya. His messenger came to me at night and he said, ‘Answer the commander of the faithful’. I said within myself, ‘The commander of the faithful would not send for me in this night unless he wants to ask me about the merits of Ali-azwj, so that if I were to inform him, he would kill me’.
قَالَ فَكَتَبْتُ وَصِيَّتِي فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ مَا هَذِهِ الرِّيحُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَتَانِي رَسُولُكَ بِاللَّيْلِ فَقُلْتُ مَا بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا لِيَسْأَلَنِي عَنْ فَضَائِلِ عَلِيٍّ ع فَلَعَلِّي إِنْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ قَتَلَنِي فَكَتَبْتُ وَصِيَّتِي وَ لَبِسْتُ كَفَنِي
He (the narrator) said, ‘I wrote my will. When I entered to see him, I said, ‘The greetings be upon you, O commander of the faithful!’ He said, ‘The greetings be upon you, O Suleyman! What is this smell?’ I said, ‘O commander of the faithful! Your messenger came to me at night, so I said, (within myself), ‘The commander of the faithful would not send for me in this night unless he wants to ask me about the merits of Ali-azwj, so that if I were to inform him, he would kill me’. I wrote my will and wore my shroud’.
قَالَ وَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُتَّكِئاً فَاسْتَوَى قَاعِداً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ كَمْ تَرْوِي فِي فَضَائِلِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ قُلْتُ كَثِيراً يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَأُحَدِّثُكَ بِحَدِيثَيْنِ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ بِمِثْلِهِمَا قَطُّ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَدِّثْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘And it was so that Abu Ja’far (Al Mansour) was reclining, so he sat upright, then said: ‘There is neither Might nor Strength except with Allah-azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent’. Then he said, ‘O Suleyman! How many reports have you reported regarding the merits of Ali-asws?’ I said, ‘A lot, O commander of the faithful’. So he said, ‘By Allah-azwj! Shall I narrate to you with two Ahadeeth you have not heard the likes of at all?’ I said, ‘Narrate, O commander of the faithful’.
قَالَ كُنْتُ هَارِباً مِنْ بَنِي مَرْوَانَ وَ أَنَا فِي أَطْمَارٍ لِي رِثَّةٍ وَ كُنْتُ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَى النَّاسِ بِحُبِّ عَلِيٍّ ع فَيُطْعِمُونِي وَ يُقَرِّبُونِي حَتَّى مَرَرْتُ ذَاتَ عَشِيَّةٍ بِمَسْجِدٍ قَدْ أُقِيمَتْ فِيهِ صَلَاةُ الْمَغْرِبِ فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَوْ دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّيْتُ وَ سَأَلْتُ أَهْلَهُ عَشَاءً قَالَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّيْتُ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ غُلَامَانِ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمَا إِمَامُ الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ مَرْحَباً بِكُمَا وَ بِمَنِ اسْمُكُمَا عَلَى اسْمِهِمَا
He said, ‘I was fleeing from the Clan of Marwan and I was in rags of mine, old clothes, and I went near to the people who had the love of Ali-asws. They fed me and they drew me closer to the extent that one evening I passed by a Masjid and the Maghrib Salat had been established in it. I said within myself, ‘If I enter the Masjid and pray Salat, I could ask its people for the dinner’. When I had prayed the Salat, two boys entered the Masjid, and when the prayer leader of the Masjid looked at them, he said, ‘Welcome to both of you and to the one, your names are upon their names’.
فَقُلْتُ لِشَابٍّ لِجَانِبِي مَنِ الْغُلَامَانِ مِنَ الشَّيْخِ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنَا ابْنِهِ وَ لَيْسَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ أَحَدٌ يُحِبُّ عَلِيّاً حُبَّهُ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّهَا الشَّيْخُ أَ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ حَدِيثاً أَقَرَّ بِهِ عَيْنَكَ قَالَ إِنْ أَقْرَرْتَ عَيْنِي أَقْرَرْتُ عَيْنَكَ
I said to the youth sitting besides me, ‘Who are the two boys, from the Sheykh?’ He said, ‘Two sons of his son, and there isn’t anyone in Al Medina who has the love of Ali-asws like his love’. I stood up to him and I said, ‘O you Sheykh! Shall I narrate to you a Hadeeth your eyes would be delighted with?’ He said, ‘If it delights my eyes, it would delight your eyes (as well)’.
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ قُعُودٌ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ هِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا يُبْكِيكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَقَالَتْ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص غَابَ عَنِّي الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ الْبَارِحَةَ فَمَا أَدْرِي أَيْنَ بَاتَا
He (the Caliph) said, ‘I said, ‘My father informed me, from my grandfather, from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘While we were seated in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww, when Fatima-asws came over, and she-asws was crying. He-saww said to her-asws: ‘What makes you-asws cry, O Fatima-asws?’ She-asws said: ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws disappeared from me-asws yesterday, and I-asws don’t know where they-asws slept the night’.
فَقَالَ ص لَا تَبْكِي يَا فَاطِمَةُ إِنَّ لَهُمَا رَبّاً سَيَحْفَظُهُمَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ ص يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَا أَخَذَا بَرّاً أَوْ بَحْراً فَاحْفَظْهُمَا وَ سَلِّمْهُمَا
He-saww said: ‘Do not cry, O Fatima-asws! For both of them-asws there is a Lord-azwj Protecting them-asws’. Then he-saww raised his-saww hand towards the sky, then said: ‘O Allah-azwj! If it was so that they-asws took to a land or a sea, so protect them-asws and Keep them-asws safe’.
قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَا تَحْزَنْ هَذَا الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فِي حَظِيرَةِ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِهِمَا مَلَكاً يَحْفَظُهُمَا قَدْ فَرَشَ أَحَدَ جَنَاحَيْهِ لَهُمَا وَ أَظَلَّهُمَا بِالْآخَرِ
He (Ibn Abbas) said, ‘Jibraeel-as came over to him-saww and he-as said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Do not grieve! Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws are in the farmyard of the Clan of Najjar. An Angel has been Allocated with them-asws, protecting them-asws. He has laid down one of his wings for them as a bed, and shading them-asws with the other’.
قَالَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ قَامَ مَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْحَظِيرَةَ فَإِذَا الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ مُعَانِقٌ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ قَدْ فَرَشَ لَهُمَا الْمَلِكُ أَحَدَ جَنَاحَيْهِ وَ أَظَلَّهُمَا بِالْآخَرِ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ حَتَّى عَانَقَهُمَا ثُمَّ بَكَى وَ أَخَذَهُمَا ثُمَّ حَمَلَ الْحَسَنَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ
He (Ibn Abbas) said, ‘The Prophet-saww stood and his-saww companions stood up along with him-saww until they entered the farmyard, and there were Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, one hugging his-asws companion, the Angel having had laid down his wing as a bed for them-asws and shading them-asws with the other.
قَالَ فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَظِيرَةِ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطِنِي أَحَدَ الْغُلَامَيْنِ أَحْمِلُهُ عَنْكَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ نِعْمَ الْحَامِلُ وَ نِعْمَ الْمُحْمُولَانِ وَ أَبُوهُمَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ عُمَرُ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ
He (Ibn Abbas) said, ‘When they went out from the farmyard, Abu Bakr said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Give me one of the boys-asws to carry him-asws from you-saww’. He-saww said: ‘O Abu Bakr! Best is the carrier and best are the carried ones, and their-asws father-asws is superior than them-asws’. Then Umar said similar to what Abu Bakr had said, and the Prophet-saww said similar to what he-saww had said to Abu Bakr.
ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ وَ اللَّهِ لَأُشَرِّفُكُمَا كَمَا شَرَّفَكُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَتَى الْمَسْجِدَ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ هَلُمَّ عَلَيَّ بِالنَّاسِ فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعُوا صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمِنْبَرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ جَدّاً وَ جَدَّةً؟
Then the Prophet-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj! Your-asws nobility is just as Allah-azwj has Ennobled you two-asws from above His-azwj Throne’. When he-saww came to the Masjid, he-saww said: ‘O Bilal! Bring Ali-asws to me with the people’. When they had gathered, Rasool-Allah-saww ascended the Pulpit, then said, ‘O you people! Shall I-saww inform you all today with the best of the people of a grandfather and a grandmother?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!
قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَإِنَّ جَدَّهُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ جَدَّتَهُمَا خَدِيجَةُ الْكُبْرَى بِنْتُ خُوَيْلِدٍ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ الْجَنَّةِ
He-saww said: ‘Upon you all is to be with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, for their-asws grandfather is Rasool-Allah-saww and their-asws grandmother is Khadeeja Al-Kubra-as, Bint Khuwaylid, chieftess of the women of the Paradise’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمُ الْيَوْمَ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ أَباً وَ خَيْرِهِمْ أُمّاً؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَإِنَّ أَبَاهُمَا شَابٌّ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ أُمَّهُمَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ سَيِّدَةُ نِسَاءِ الْعَالَمِينَ
Then he-saww said: ‘O you people! Shall I-saww inform you all today with the best of the people of a father and the best of them of a mother?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! He-saww said: ‘Upon you all is to be with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, for their-asws father-asws is the youth who loves Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and their-asws mother-asws is Fatima-asws Bint Rasool-Allah-saww, chieftess of the women of the worlds’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ عَمّاً وَ خَيْرِهِمْ عَمَّةً؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَإِنَّ عَمَّهُمَا ذُو الْجَنَاحَيْنِ الطَّيَّارُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ عَمَّتَهُمَا أُمُّ هَانِي بِنْتُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
Then he-saww said: ‘O you people! Shall I inform you all with the best of the people of a paternal uncle and the best of them of a paternal aunt?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww! He-saww said: ‘Upon you all is to be with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, for their-asws paternal uncle is one with two wings, the flyer in the Paradise (Ja’far-as), and their-asws paternal aunt is Hany Bint Abu Talib-as.
أَ لَا أُخْبِرُ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ خَالًا وَ خَالَةً؟ قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَإِنَّ خَالَهُمَا الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ خَالَتَهُمَا زَيْنَبُ بِنْتُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
Shall I-saww inform you all with the best of the people of a maternal uncle and a maternal aunt?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’. He-saww said: ‘Upon you is to be with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, for their-asws maternal uncle is Al Qasim son of Rasool-Allah-saww, and their-asws maternal aunt is Zaynab daughter of Rasool-Allah-saww’.
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَلَيْنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ جَدَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ جَدَّتَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَبَاهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ أُمَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ عَمَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ عَمَّتَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ خَالَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ خَالَتَهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ مُحِبَّهُمَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ مُبْغِضَهُمَا فِي النَّارِ
Then the Prophet-saww turned to us, then said: ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Know that Al-Hassan-asws would be in the Paradise, and Al-Husayn-asws would be in the Paradise, and their-asws grandfather-saww would be in the Paradise, and their-asws grandmother-as would be in the Paradise, and their-asws father-asws would be in the Paradise, and their-asws mother-asws would be in the Paradise, and their-asws paternal uncle would be in the Paradise, and their-asws paternal aunt would bein the Paradise, and their-asws maternal uncle would be in the Paradise, and their-asws maternal aunt would be in the Paradise. O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Know that those who love them-asws would be in the Paradise, and those who hate them-asws would be in the Fire’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا فَتَى؟ قُلْتُ مِنَ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ عَرَبِيٌّ أَمْ مَوْلًى قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلْ عَرَبِيٌّ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ تُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ بِحَدِيثٍ مِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَالِ قَالَ فَكَسَانِي خِلْعَةً وَ أَعْطَانِي بَغْلَةً قَالَ فَبِعْتُهَا فِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ بِثَلَاثِمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ
He (Abu Ja’far Al Mansour) said, ‘The Sheykh (the prayer leader) said, ‘Who are you, O youth?’ I said, From Al Iraq’. He said, ‘An Arab or a slave?’ I said, ‘But, I am an Arab’. He said, ‘So you are narrating to the people with a Hadeeth the likes of this Hadeeth and you are upon the likes of this state?’ He clothed me with a garment and gave me a mule. I sold it during that era for three hundred Dinars’.
ثُمَّ [قَالَ] أَقْرَرْتَ عَيْنِي وَ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ قُلْتُ مَا حَاجَتُكَ قَالَ هَاهُنَا أَخَوَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا إِمَامٌ وَ الْآخَرُ يُؤَذِّنُ فَأَمَّا الْإِمَامُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ مُحِبّاً لِعَلِيٍّ ع مُنْذُ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ وَ أَمَّا الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ مُبْغِضاً لِعَلِيٍّ ع مُنْذُ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَطْنِ أُمِّهِ فَأْتِ الْإِمَامَ حَتَّى تُحَدِّثَهُ
Then he (the prayer leader) said, ‘You have delighted my eyes, and for me there is a need to you’. I said, ‘What is your need?’ He said, ‘Over here are two brothers. One of the two is a prayer leader and the other one is a Muezzin (Caller to the Salat). As for the prayer leader, he has not ceased to have love for Ali-asws since he came out from the belly of his mother, and as for the Muezzin, so he has not ceased to have hatred for Ali-asws since he came out from the belly of his mother. Go to the prayer leader until you narrate it’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ دُلَّنِي إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَعَرَفْتُ الْبَابَ فَقَرَعْتُهُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيَّ شَابٌّ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَفَ الْكِسْوَةَ وَ عَرَفَ الْبَغْلَةَ فَقَالَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ الشَّيْخَ لَمْ يَكْسُكَ خِلْعَةَ الْكِسْوَةِ وَ يعطيك [يُعْطِكَ] الْبَغْلَةَ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ تُحِبُّ عَلِيّاً فَحَدِّثْنِي فِي فَضَائِلِ عَلِيٍّ ع
He (Abu Ja’far Mansour) said, ‘I said, ‘point me to his house’. He indicated to his house, and I recognised the door. I knocked upon it and a youth came out to me, and he recognised the garment and recognised the mule, so he said, ‘I know that the sheikh would not have clothed you with a clothing garment and given you the mule unless you love Ali-asws’. He narrated to me regarding the merits of Ali-asws.
قَالَ قُلْتُ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع وَ هِيَ تَبْكِي فَقَالَ مَا يُبْكِيكِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَيَّرَتْنِي نِسَاءُ قُرَيْشٍ آنِفاً زَعَمْنَ أَنَّكَ زَوَّجْتَنِي رَجُلًا مُعْدِماً لَا مَالَ لَهُ
He said, ‘I said, ‘My father narrated to me, from my grandfather, from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said, ‘While we were in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww, when Fatima-asws came over, and she-asws was crying. He-saww said: ‘What makes you-asws cry, O Fatima-asws?’ She-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! The women of Qureysh are reproaching me-asws rubbing the nose that you-saww married me-asws to a destitute man having no wealth for him-asws’.
قَالَ لَا تَبْكِينَ يَا فَاطِمَةُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا زَوَّجْتُكِ حَتَّى زَوَّجَكِ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ وَ أَشْهَدَ عَلَى ذَلِكِ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اطَّلَعَ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ فَاخْتَارَنِي مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ بَعَثَنِي نَبِيّاً ثُمَّ اطَّلَعَ ثَانِيَةً فَاخْتَارَ مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلِيّاً فَجَعَلَهُ وَارِثاً وَ وَصِيّاً
He-saww said: ‘Do not cry, O Fatima-asws, for by Allah-azwj, I-saww did not get you-asws married until Allah-azwj got you-asws married from above His-azwj Throne and there witnessed upon that Jibraeel-as and Mikaeel-as. And Allah-azwj Notified from above His-azwj Throne and He-azwj Chose me-saww and Sent me-saww as a Prophet-saww. Then He-azwj Notified secondly, and He-azwj Chose Ali-asws from the people and Made him-asws an inheritor, and a successor-asws.
فَعَلِيٌّ أَشْجَعُ النَّاسِ قَلْباً وَ أَكْثَرُهُمْ عِلْماً وَ أَعْدَلُهُمْ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ وَ أَقْسَمُهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ اسْمُهُمَا فِي تَوْرَاةِ مُوسَى شابير وَ شابور بِكَرَامَتِهِمَا عَلَى اللَّهِ
Ali-asws is of the bravest heart of the people, and more abundant of knowledge of them, and more just among the citizens than them, and more equitable of the distribution than them, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws are the youths of the people of the Paradise, and their-asws names in the Torah of Musa-as are Shaabir and Shabour, by the prestige upon them-asws to Allah-azwj.
يَا فَاطِمَةُ لَا تَبْكِينَ إِذَا كُسِيتُ غَداً كُسِيَ عَلِيٌّ مَعِي وَ إِذَا حُبِيتُ غَداً حُبِيَ عَلِيٌّ مَعِي يَا فَاطِمَةُ لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ بِيَدِي وَ النَّاسُ تَحْتَ رَايَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَأُنَاوِلُهُ عَلِيّاً لِكَرَامَتِهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَا فَاطِمَةُ عَلِيٌّ عَوْنِي عَلَى مَفَاتِيحِ الْجَنَّةِ يَا فَاطِمَةُ عَلِيٌّ وَ شِيعَتُهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
O Fatima-asws! Do not cry. When I-saww am robed tomorrow, Ali-asws would be robed with me-saww, and when I-saww am loved tomorrow, Ali-asws would be loved with me-saww. O Fatima-asws! The Flag of Praise would be in my-saww hands, and the people would be under it on the Day of Qiyamah. Then I-saww shall give it to Ali-asws due to his-asws prestige to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. O Fatima-asws! Ali-asws would by my-saww assistant upon the keys of the Paradise. O Fatima-asws! Ali-asws and his-asws Shias, they would be the successful ones on the Day of Judgment’.
قَالَ فَلَمَّا حَدَّثْتُهُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ يَا فَتَى مَنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ عَرَبِيٌّ أَمْ مَوْلًى قُلْتُ عَرَبِيٌّ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ تُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَالِ فَكَسَانِي ثَلَاثِينَ ثَوْباً وَ أَمَرَ لِي بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافِ دِرْهَمٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ أَقْرَرْتَ عَيْنِي وَ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ قَالَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ قَالَ تَأْتِي مَسْجِدَ بَنِي فُلَانٍ أَوْ مَسْجِدَ بَنِي مَرْوَانَ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَكَ الْأَخُ الْمُبْغِضُ عَلِيّاً
He (the Caliph) said, ‘When I narrated to him with this Hadeeth, he said, ‘O youth! Who are you?’ I said, From the people of Al Iraq’. He said, ‘An Arab or a slave?’ I said, ‘Arab’. He said, ‘So you are narrating with this Hadeeth and you are upon the likes of this state?’ He gave me thirty garments and instructed for a thousand Dirhams to be given to me, then said, ‘You have delighted my eyes, and for me there is a need to you’. I said, ‘What is your need?’ He said, ‘Go to Masjid of the clan of so and so, or Masjid of the clan of Marwan until you come to my brother, who is a hater of Ali-asws’.
فَطَالَتْ عَلَيَّ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةُ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أُصَلِّي وَ إِذَا بِشَابٍّ يُصَلِّي إِلَى جَانِبِي وَ عَلَيْهِ عِمَامَةٌ إِذْ سَقَطَتِ الْعِمَامَةُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَإِذَا رَأْسُهُ رَأْسُ خِنْزِيرٍ وَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَرَيْتُ مَا أَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِي
That night was prolonged upon me, and when it was morning, I went to the Masjid. While I was praying Salat, there was a youth praying Salat to my side, and upon him was a turban. When the turban fell from his head, and behold, his head was the head of a pig, and by Allah-azwj, I didn’t know what I was saying during my Salat.
فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ لَهُ وَيْلَكَ مَا الَّذِي أَرَى بِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْحَالِ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي لَعَلَّكَ صَاحِبُ أَخِي قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي ثُمَّ خَرَجَ بِي مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ وَ هُوَ يَبْكِي بُكَاءً شَدِيداً حَتَّى أَتَى بِي دَارَهُ
When I was free, I said to him, ‘Woe be unto you! What is that which I see with you from the evil state?’ He said to me, ‘Perhaps you are a companion of my brother’. I said, ‘Yes’. So he grabbed my hand, then went out from the Masjid with me, and he was crying with intense wailing, until he came with me to his house.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي تَرَى هَذِهِ الدَّارَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَأَنَا كُنْتُ مُؤَذِّناً وَ أَلْعَنُ عَلِيّاً فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمٌ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ لَعَنْتُهُ عَشْرَةَ آلَافِ مَرَّةٍ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ
Then he said to me, ‘Do you see this house?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I was the Muezzin and used to curse Ali-asws a thousand times during every day’, – and in another report, ‘one hundred times, until when it would be the Day of Qiyamah, I will curse him ten thousand times’, – and in another report, ‘a thousand times’.
فَخَرَجْتُ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفْتُ إِلَى دَارِي هَذِهِ وَ نِمْتُ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَدْ أَقْبَلَ وَ مَعَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ يَسَارِهِ فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع وَاقِفَانِ وَ فِي يَدِ الْحَسَنِ كَأْسٌ وَ فِي يَدِ الْحُسَيْنِ إِبْرِيقٌ يَسْقِي النَّاسَ
I went out from the Masjid, then I came to this house of mine and slept in this place. Among what I saw while sleeping as if the Prophet-saww had come, and with him-saww were his-saww companions, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were on his-saww right and his-saww left. So Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww companions sat down, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were both paused, and in the hand of Al-Hassan was a goblet and in the hand of Al-Husayn-asws was a pitcher to quench the people.
فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ يَا حَسَنُ اسْقِنِي فَمَدَّ الْحَسَنُ يَدَهُ بِالْكَأْسِ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ يَا حُسَيْنُ صُبَّ فَصَبَّ الْحُسَيْنُ مِنَ الْإِبْرِيقِ فِي الْكَأْسِ فَنَاوَلَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع النَّبِيَّ ص فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْقِ أَصْحَابِي فَسَقَاهُمُ
The Prophet-saww raised his-saww head and he-saww said: ‘O Hassan! Quench me-saww’. Al-Hassan-asws extended his-asws hand with the goblet to Al-Husayn-asws, and he-asws said: ‘O Husayn-asws! Pour!’ Al-Husayn-asws poured from the pitcher into the goblet, and Al-Husayn-asws gave it to the Prophet-saww, and he-saww drank. Then he-saww said: ‘Quench my-saww companions’. So he-asws quenched them.
ثُمَّ قَالَ اسْقِ النَّائِمَ عَلَى الدُّكَّانِ قَالَ وَ كَانَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ يَبْكِيَانِ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ مَا يُبْكِيكُمَا؟ فَقَالا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ نَسْقِيهِ وَ هُوَ يَلْعَنُ أَبَانَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ قَدْ لَعَنَهُ الْيَوْمَ عَشَرَةَ آلَافِ مَرَّةٍ
Then he-saww said: ‘Quench the sleeping one at the shop’. And Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws were weeping, so the Prophet-saww said to them-asws: ‘What makes you-asws two to weep?’ They-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! How can we-asws quench him and he curses our-asws father-asws a thousand times every day, and today he has cursed him-asws ten thousand times’.
قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص قَامَ مُغْضَباً حَتَّى أَتَانِي فَقَالَ أَ تَلْعَنُ عَلِيّاً وَ أَنْتَ تَعْرِفُ أَنَّهُ بِالْمَكَانِ الَّذِي هُوَ بِهِ مِنِّي ثُمَّ ضَرَبَنِي وَ قَالَ ص غَيَّرَ اللَّهُ مَا بِكَ خِلْقَةً فَقُمْتُ وَ رَأْسِي وَ وَجْهِي هَكَذَا
He said, ‘I saw the Prophet-saww stand angrily until he-saww came over to me and he-saww said: ‘You are cursing Ali-asws and you know that he-asws is at the status which he-asws is with from me-saww?’. Then he-saww stuck me and he-saww said: ‘May Allah-azwj Change the constitution with you’. I woke up and my head and my face is like this’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِثْلَ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ قَطُّ قُلْتُ لَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْأَمَانَ قَالَ لَكَ الْأَمَانُ
Then he (the Caliph) said, ‘O Suleyman! Have you (ever) heard the likes of these two Ahadeeth at all?’ I said, ‘No, O commander of the faithful’. Then I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen! (Grant me) the security’. He said, ‘For you is the security’.
قُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي قَاتِلِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ؟ قَالَ فِي النَّارِ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي قَاتِلِ أَوْلَادِ الْحُسَيْنِ؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتَ مَلِيّاً ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ الْمُلْكُ عَقِيمٌ اذْهَبْ فَحَدِّثْ فِي فَضَائِلِ عَلِيٍّ ع مَا شِئْتَ.
I said, ‘So what are you saying regarding the murderers of Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws?’ He said, ‘In the Fire, O Suleyman!’. I said, ‘So what are you saying regarding the murderer of the children of Al-Husayn-asws?’ He was silent for a while, then said, ‘O Suleyman! The kingdom is of no avail. Go, narrate regarding the merits of Ali-asws, whatever you so desire to’.[81]

It was informed to me by the Sheykh, the imam Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhamad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Al Sheykh Al Mufeed Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan Al Harisy, from Abu Al Qasim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Qawlawiyah, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Masoud, from his father Abu Mansour Muhammad Bin Masoud Al Abbasy, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Salih, from Sufyan Bin Al Hareyr, from Abdul Momin Al Ansary, from his father, from Anas Bin Malik, said,
سَأَلْتُهُ مَنْ كَانَ آثَرَ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِيمَا رَأَيْتَ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ أَحَداً بِمَنْزِلَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع إِنْ كَانَ يَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَيَخْلُو بِهِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ هَكَذَا كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ مَنْزِلَةٌ حَتَّى فَارَقَ الدُّنْيَا
‘I asked him (Anas Bin Malik), ‘Who was the most preferable of the people in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww in what you saw?’ He said, ‘I did no see anyone with the status of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws. If he-saww sent for him-asws in the middle of the night, he-saww would be alone with him-asws until morning. It was like this for him-asws in his-saww presence until he-saww separated from the world.
وَ لَقَدْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَنَسُ تُحِبُّ عَلِيّاً قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّهُ لِحُبِّكَ إِيَّاهُ فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنَّكَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتَهُ أَحَبَّكَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ إِنْ أَبْغَضْتَهُ أَبْغَضَكَ اللَّهُ وَ إِنْ أَبْغَضَكَ اللَّهُ أَوْلَجَكَ النَّارَ.
And I have heard Rasool-Allah-saww and he-saww was saying: ‘O Anas! Do you love Ali-asws?’ I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I love him-asws due to your-saww love for him-asws’. He-saww said: ‘As for you, if were to love him-asws, Allah-azwj would Love you, and if you hate him-asws, Allah-azwj would Hate you, and if Allah-azwj Hates you, He-azwj will Insert you into the Fire’’.[82]

It was informed to us by the Chief Ascetic Abu Talib Yahya Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Husayni Al Jawwany during the month of Shawwal of the year five hundred and nine, orally from him, and tallied it with its original, from the ascetic Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn Bin Ali Bin Al Dai’y Al-Husayni, from Al Seyying Al Jaleyli Abu Ibrahim Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Husayni, from Al Hakim Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al Hafiz, From Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Sarry Bin Yahya Al Tameemi, from Al Munzir Bin Muhammad Al Lakhmy, from his father, from his uncle, from his father, from Aban Bin Taghlib, from Abu Is’haq, from Zayd Bin Arqam who said,

‘I was in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww, I, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am at war with the one who wars against them-asws, and I-saww am at peace with the one who is peaceful with them’’.[83]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh , the jurist Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Abu Ja’far Al Toosy at the place mentioned before, in the mentioned date, from his father, from Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Al Muzaffar Bin Muhammad, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Al Falaj, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Musa Al Hashimy, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al Razy, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Zakariyya Al Mowsaly, form Jabir,
عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي احْتَجَّ اللَّهُ بِكَ فِي ابْتِدَاءِ الْخَلْقِ حَيْثُ أَقَامَهُمْ أَشْبَاحاً فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَ لَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ وَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولِي؟ قَالُوا بَلَى قَالَ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَبَى الْخَلْقُ جَمِيعاً إِلَّا اسْتِكْبَاراً وَ عُتُوّاً عَنْ وَلَايَتِكَ إِلَّا نَفَرٌ قَلِيلٌ وَ هُمْ أَقَلُّ الْقَلِيلِ وَ هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْيَمِينِ.
From Abu Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws that: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘You-asws, you-asws are the one by whom Allah-azwj Argued with in the beginning of the Creation when He-azwj Stood them as resemblances, so He-azwj Said to them: “Am I not your Lord?” They said, ‘Yes, we testify’.

But the creatures in their entirety refused and they were arrogant, and they transgressed about your-asws Wilayah, except for a small number, and they were fewer than the few, and they are the companions of the right hand’.[84]

Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Mominoun have succeeded [23:1]. Do you know who they are?’ I said, ‘You-asws are more knowing’. He-asws said: ‘The submitters are successful. The submitters, they are the excellent ones. And the Momin is a stranger (lonely)’. Then he-asws said: ‘Beatitude to the strangers!’.[85]

He-saww said: ‘The dweller of the Paradise is the one who obeys me-saww and submits to Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws after me-saww, and acknowledges his-asws Wilayah; and the inmate of the Fire is the one who is angry at the Wilayah and breaks the Covenant and fights him-asws after me-saww’.[87]

And by this chain, from Abu Al Abbas Bin Saeed Ibn Uqda Al Hafiz, from Al-Hassan Bin Utba Al Kindy, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from his father Ubeyda Bin Muhammad Bin Ammar Bin Yasser, from his father, from Ammar Bin Yasser who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘I-saww recommend to the one who believes in me-saww and ratifies me-saww, with the Wilayah for Ali-asws, for the one who befriends him-asws, so he has befriended me-saww, and the one who befriends me-saww so he has befriended Alllah-azwj, and the one who loves him-asws so he has loved me-saww, and the one who loves me-saww so he has loved Allah-azwj, and the one who hates him-asws so he has hated me-saww, and the one who hates me-saww so he has hated Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[89]

It was informed to me by the Sheykh, chief of the ascetics Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, and copied from its original and displayed to his son Abu Al Qasim in the year five hundred and ten, from his uncle Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from his father Al-Hassan Bin Al-Hassan, from his uncle Al Sheykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Babuwayh, from Muhammad Bin Ali Majaylawiya, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Basr Bin Saeed, from Khalid Bin Maddi, from Al Kindy, from Jabir,

From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘A man came over to the Prophet-saww and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Is everyone who says, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’, a Momin?’ He-saww said: ‘Enmity to us-asws would join you with the Jews and the Christians. You will not be entering the Paradise until you love me-saww. He has lied, the one who claims that he loves me-saww and hates this one, meaning Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[90]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ الْمُفِيدُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ بِقِرَاءَتِي عَلَيْهِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عُمَرَ عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَهْدِيٍّ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ابْنُ عُقْدَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ يَعْنِي عَطِيَّةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعَّادٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from his father, from Abu Umar Abdul Wahid Bin Muhammad Bin Mahdy, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Ibn Uqda, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Affan, from Al-Hassan, meaning Atiyya, from Sa’ad, from Abdullah Bin Bureyda, from his father who said,
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا وَحْدَهُ وَ جَمَعَهُمَا فَقَالَ إِذَا اجْتَمَعْتُمَا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِعَلِيٍّ قَالَ فَأَخَذْنَا يَمِيناً وَ يَسَاراً قَالَ فَأَخَذَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَأَبْعَدَ فَأَصَابَ شَيْئاً فَأَخَذَ جَارِيَةً مِنَ الْخُمُسِ
Rasool-Allah-saww sent for Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws and Khalid Bin Al Waleed, each one of them alone, and gathered the two of them, and he-saww said when he-saww gathered the two of them: ‘Upon you is Ali-asws. So he-saww took us right and left, and he-saww grabbed Ali-asws and went distant, and attained something, and he-asws took a slave girl from the Khums (war booty).
قَالَ بُرَيْدَةُ وَ كُنْتُ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ بُغْضاً لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ قَدْ عَلِمَ ذَلِكَ خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ فَأَتَى رَجُلٌ خَالِداً فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ جَارِيَةً مِنَ الْخُمُسِ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا ثُمَّ جَاءَ آخَرُ ثُمَّ تَتَابَعَتِ الْأَخْبَارُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَدَعَانِي خَالِدٌ فَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ قَدْ عَرَفْتَ الَّذِي صَنَعَ فَانْطَلِقْ بِكِتَابِي هَذَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَخْبِرْهُ وَ كَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ
Bureyda said, ‘And I used to be the most intensely hateful of the people to Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, and Khalid Bin Abdul Wahid has known that. A man came over to Khalid and informed him that he-asws had taken a slave girl from the Khums. He said, ‘What is this?’ Then another one came. Then the news was successive upon that. Khalid called me over and he said, ‘O Bureyda! I have understood that which he-asws has done. Go with this letter of mine to Rasool-Allah-saww and inform him-saww’. And he wrote to him-saww.
فَانْطَلَقْتُ بِكِتَابِهِ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخَذَ ص الْكِتَابَ فَأَمْسَكَهُ بِشِمَالِهِ وَ كَانَ كَمَا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَكْتُبُ وَ لَا يَقْرَأُ وَ كُنْتُ رَجُلًا إِذَا تَكَلَّمْتُ تَطَأْطَأْتُ رَأْسِي حَتَّى أَفْرُغَ مِنْ حَاجَتِي فَتَكَلَّمْتُ فَوَقَعْتُ فِي عَلِيٍّ حَتَّى فَرَغْتُ ثُمَّ رَفَعْتُ رَأْسِي فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ غَضِبَ غَضَباً لَمْ أَرَهُ يَغْضَبُ مِثْلَهُ قَطُّ إِلَّا يَوْمَ قُرَيْظَةَ وَ النَّضِيرِ
I went with his letter until I came over to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww took the letter and held it in his-saww left hand, and it was just as Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said, he-saww could neither write nor read. (P.s. There is no such Verse). And I was a man, whenever I spoke, I would bow down my head until I was free of my need. I spoke regarding Ali-asws until I was free, then I raised my head, and I saw Rasool-Allah-saww had become angry with such an anger I had not seen him-saww with an anger the likes of it, at all except on the day of Qareyza and Al Nazeer’.
فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ يَا بُرَيْدَةُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً وَلِيُّكُمْ بَعْدِي فَأَحِبَّ عَلِيّاً فَإِنَّمَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يُؤْمَرُ بِهِ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ وَ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْهُ
He-saww looked at me and he-saww said: ‘O Bureyda! Ali-asws is your Guardian after me-saww, so I-saww love Ali-asws. But rather, he-asws does whatever he-asws is instructed with’. I arose and there was no one from the people who was more beloved to me than him-asws.
وَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ حَدَّثْتُ أَنَا حَرْبَ بْنَ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفَلَةَ فَقَالَ كَتَمَكَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ بَعْضَ الْحَدِيثِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لَهُ أَ نَافَقْتَ بَعْدِي يَا بُرَيْدَةُ.

‘We were in the presence of the Prophet-saww, and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. The Prophet-saww said: ‘My-saww brother has come to you all’. Then he-saww turned towards the Kaaba and struck it by his-saww hand, then said: ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-saww soul, this one and his-asws Shias, they would be the successful ones on the Day of Qiyamah’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَوَّلُكُمْ إِيمَاناً مَعِي وَ أَوْفَاكُمْ بِعَهْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَقْوَمُكُمْ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعْدَلُكُمْ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ وَ أَعْظَمُكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَزِيَّةً قَالَ وَ نَزَلَتْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِذَا أَقْبَلَ عَلِيٌّ قَالُوا قَدْ جَاءَ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ.
Then he-saww said: ‘He-asws is the first one of you all in Eman with me-saww, and the most fulfilling of you all with the Covenant of Allah-azwj, and the most correct of you with the Commands of Allah-azwj, and the most just of you all among the citizens, and the greatest of you all of privileges in the Presence of Allah-azwj’.
And (the Verse): Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7], was Revealed. Then he-saww said: ‘And it was so that the companions of Muhammad-saww, whenever Ali-asws came over, they were saying, ‘The best of the Created beings has come’’.[94]

And you-asws would be the owner of the tree of Tooba in the Paradise, its roots being in your-asws house and its branches being in the houses of your-asws Shias and those that love you-asws’.[103]

‘Fatima-asws came over to the Prophet-saww, and with her-asws were Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws during the illness in which he-saww passed away. Fatima-asws hugged him-saww and paster her-asws chest with his-saww chest, and went on to cry. The Prophet-saww said to her-asws: ‘O Fatima-asws!’, and forbade her-asws from the crying. She-asws went to the house. The Prophet-saww said and the tears flowed: ‘O Allah-azwj! The People-asws of my-saww Household, and I-saww entrusting them-asws and every Momin and Momina (to You-azwj)’ – three times’.[106]
[قول علي نحن النجباء و أفراطنا أفراط الأنبياء.]
The words of Ali-asws: ‘We-asws are the excellent ones and abandoning us-asws is the abandonment of the Prophets-as’.

‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘We-asws are the excellent ones and abandoning us-asws is abandonment of the Prophets-saww. Our-asws party is the Party of Allah-azwj, and the rebellious category is the party of Satan-la. The one who equalises between us-asws and them, so he isn’t from us-asws’.[107]

From Zayd, son of Ali Bin Al-Husayn-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘There were ten (things) for me-asws from Rasool-Allah-saww which he-saww did not give these to anyone before me-asws nor did he-saww to anyone after me-asws.

He-saww said to me: ‘You-asws are my-saww brother in the world and my-saww brother in the Hereafter; and you-asws would be the closest of the people from me-saww pausing on the Day of Qiyamah; and my-saww house and your-asws house in the Paradise would be facing each other like the houses of the brothers; and you-asws are my-saww successor; and you-asws are the Guardian; and you-asws are the Vizier; your-asws enemy is my-saww enemy and my-saww enemy is the enemy of Allah-azwj; and your-asws friend is my-saww friend and my-saww friend is a friend of Allah-azwj’’.[108]

It was informed to me by Al Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, and copied from its original and reading upon it in his shop at Al Rayy in the year five hundred and ten, from his uncle Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from his father Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn, from his uncle Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Majaylawiya, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj, from Hakam Bin Ayman, from Muhammad Al Halby who said,
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّهُ مَنْ عَرَفَ دِينَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ زَالَتِ الْجِبَالُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَزُولَ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ فِي أَمْرٍ يَجْهَلُ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ بِجَهْلٍ
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘It is so that the one who recognises his Religion from the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, the mountains would move before he moves, and the one who enters into a matter by ignorance would exit from it by ignorance’.
قُلْتُ وَ مَا هُوَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ ما آتاكُمُ الرَّسُولُ فَخُذُوهُ وَ ما نَهاكُمْ عَنْهُ فَانْتَهُوا
I said, ‘And what is it in the Book of Allah-azwj?’ He-asws said: ‘The Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: And whatever the Rasool gives you, so take it, and whatever he forbids you from, then refrain [59:7].
وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ مَنْ يُطِعِ الرَّسُولَ فَقَدْ أَطاعَ اللَّهَ
And His-azwj Words, the Mighty and Majestic: There is one who obeys the Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah, [4:80].
وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَطِيعُوا اللَّهَ وَ أَطِيعُوا الرَّسُولَ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ مِنْكُمْ
And His-azwj Words, the Mighty and Majestic: Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those with (Divine) Authority from you [4:59].
وَ قَوْلُهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِنَّما وَلِيُّكُمُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا الَّذِينَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ يُؤْتُونَ الزَّكاةَ وَ هُمْ راكِعُونَ
And His-azwj Words, the Blessed and Exalted: But rather, your Guardian is Allah, and His Rasool, and those who are believing, those who are establishing the Salat and are giving the Zakat while they are performing Ruku [5:55].
وَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ فَلا وَ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيما شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ وَ يُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً
And His-azwj Words, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty: But no! By your Lord! They are not believing until they make you a judge regarding what they are quarrelling between them, then not find any objection within themselves from what you judge and they accept submissively [4:65].
وَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَما بَلَّغْتَ رِسالَتَهُ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
And His-azwj Words, the Mighty and Majestic: O you Rasool! Deliver what has been Revealed unto you from your Lord; and if you don’t do so, then you have not delivered His Message, and Allah will Protect you from the people. [5:67].
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لِعَلِيٍّ ع مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ وَ انْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ وَ اخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ وَ أَحِبَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ وَ أَبْغِضْ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ.
And from that are the words of Rasool-Allah-saww to Ali-asws: ‘The one whose Master I-saww was, so Ali-asws is his Master. O Allah-azwj! Befriend the one who befriends him-asws and be Inimical to the one who is inimical to him-asws, and Help the one who helps him-asws, and Abandon the one who abandons him-asws, and Love the one who loves him-asws, and Hate the one who hates him-asws’.[110]

It was narrated to us by the Sheykh Al Mufeed Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bn Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Saeed Al Walid Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Fahham Al Samarry, from Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Ubeydullah Al Mansoury who said,
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو السَّرِيِّ سَهْلُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْمُلَقَّبُ بِأَبِي نُوَاسٍ الْمُؤَذِّنِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الْمُعَلَّقِ فِي صف شنيف بِسَامَرَّاءَ: قَالَ الْمَنْصُورِيُّ وَ كَانَ يُلَقَّبُ بِأَبِي نُوَاسٍ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَخَالَعُ وَ يَطِيبُ مَعَ النَّاسِ وَ يُظْهِرُ التَّشَيُّعَ عَلَى الطِّيبَةِ فَيَأْمَنُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الْإِمَامُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَّبَهُ بِأَبِي نُوَاسٍ قَالَ يَا أَبَا السَّرِيِّ أَنْتَ أَبُو نُوَاسٍ الْحَقُّ وَ مَنْ تَقَدَّمَكَ أَبُو نُوَاسٍ الْبَاطِلُ
‘It was narrated to me by Abu Al-Sarry Sahl Bin Yaqoub Bin Is’haq, the one teknonymed at Abu Nuwas the Muezzin in the Masjid attached in the rows of Shaneef at Samarra. Al Mansoury said, and he was teknonymed as Abu Nuwas because he was pretending and being good with the people and display the Shiaism upon the goodness. So he believed upon him. When the Imam Ali Bin Muhammad-asws teknonymed as Abu Nuwas he-asws said: ‘O Abu Al Sarry! You are Abu Nuwas truly, and the one who preceded you was the false Abu Nuwas’.
قَالَ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ يَا سَيِّدِي قَدْ وَقَعَ لِي اخْتِيَارَاتُ الْأَيَّامِ عَنْ سَيِّدِنَا الصَّادِقِ ع مِمَّا حَدَّثَنِي بِهِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُطَهَّرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَيِّدِنَا الصَّادِقِ ع فِي كُلِّ شَهْرٍ فَأَعْرِضُهُ عَلَيْكَ فَقَالَ لِي افْعَلْ فَلَمَّا عَرَضْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ صَحَّحْتُهُ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي فِي أَكْثَرِ هَذِهِ الْأَيَّامِ قَوَاطِعُ عَنِ الْمَقَاصِدِ لِمَا ذُكِرَ فِيهَا مِنَ النَّحْسِ وَ الْمَخَاوِفِ فَدَخَلَنِي عَلَى الِاحْتِرَازِ مِنَ الْمَخَاوِفِ فِيهَا فَإِنَّمَا تَدْعُونِي الضَّرُورَةُ إِلَى التَّوَجُّهِ فِي الْحَوَائِجِ فِيهَا
He said, ‘And I said to him-asws one day, ‘O my Master-asws! There have occurred certain choices for me these days about our Master-asws Al-Sadiq-asws regarding every month. I (want to) present these to you-asws’. He-asws said to me: ‘Do it’. When I presented it to him-asws and had it corrected, I said to him-asws, ‘O my Master-asws! During most of these days the aims get broken due to what is mentioned in these from the misfortunes and the fears. Thus, it enters me upon the precaution from the fears during these. So rather, necessity calls me to go ahead (on a journey) regarding the needs during these (days)’.
فَقَالَ يَا سَهْلُ لِشِيعَتِنَا بِوَلَايَتِنَا عِصْمَةٌ لَوْ سَلَكُوا بِهَا فِي لُجَجِ الْبِحَارِ الْغَامِرَةِ وَ سَبَاسِبِ الْبَيْدَاءِ الْغَامِرَةِ بَيْنَ سِبَاعٍ وَ ذِئَابٍ وَ أَعَادِي الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ لَأَمِنُوا مِنْ مَخَاوِفِهِمْ بِوَلَايَتِهِمْ لَنَا فَثِقْ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَخْلِصْ فِي الْوَلَاءِ بِأَئِمَّتِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ تَوَجَّهْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ اقْصِدْ مَا شِئْتَ
He-asws said: ‘O Sahl! For our-asws Shias, by our-asws Wilayah, there is preservation. If they were to travel with it in the tossing of the overwhelming seas and the savannahs of the overwhelming deserts between the predatory animals and wolves, and the habitats of the Jinn and the humans, they would be secure from their fears by their Wilayah for us-asws. Therefore, trust in Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and be sincere in the Wilayah of the Pure Imams-asws, and go wherever you so like to, and aim at whatever you so desire to.

O Sahl! When it is morning, and I-asws say it for three mornings: ‘O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge in Your-azwj Responsibility, the Impregnable, the Maker Who is neither prolonged nor attempted from the evil of every night comer and brutal from the rest of what is created, and the ones who are created from Your-azwj creatures, the silent, and the night comer in a shield from every fear by a clothing of armour, the Wilayah of the People-asws of the Household of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, in a shield from every fear veiled, in custody from everything aimed at me be harmed by a wall, fortification of sincerity in the acknowledgement of their-asws rights, and the attachment with their-asws rope entirely, being certain that the right is for them-asws, and with them-asws, and in them-asws.
وَ بِهِمْ أُوَالِي مَنْ وَالَوْا وَ أُجَانِبُ مَنْ جَانَبُوا فَأَعِذْنِي اللَّهُمَّ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا اتَّقَيْتُهُ يَا عَظِيمُ حَجَزْتُ الْأَعَادِيَ عَنِّي بِبَدِيعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِنَّا جَعَلْنا فِي أَعْناقِهِمْ أَغْلالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الْأَذْقانِ فَهُمْ مُقْمَحُونَ وَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ
And by them-asws I befriend the one they-asws befriend, and keep aside from the one they-asws keep aside from. Shelter me, O Allah-azwj, from every evil what I fear. O Magnificent! Keep aside my enemies from me in the creation of the skies and the earth. Surely, We Made shackles to be in their necks, so these are up to their chins, so their heads are raised [36:8] And We Made a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, and We Covered them, so they are not seeing [36:9].

May Allah-azwj have Mercy on the one who revives our-asws matter.

O Khaysama! We-asws cannot make you needless of anything from Allah-azwj except by the deeds, and that our-asws Wilayah cannot be attained except with the devoutness, and that the one with the most intense of regrets on the Day of Qiyamah would be the one who describes justice, then opposes it to something else’.[114]

From Ali Bin Al-Husayn Zayn Al Abideen-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘What is the matter with the people? When the Progeny of Ibrahim-as is mentioned in their presence, they are happy and giving glad tidings to each other, and when the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww is mentioned in their presence, their hearts get constricted.
وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِعَمَلِ سَبْعِينَ نَبِيّاً مَا قَبِلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَلْقَاهُ بِوَلَايَتِي وَ وَلَايَةِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي عِنْدَ اللَّهِ.
By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad-saww! If a servant was to come on the Day of Qiyamah with the deeds of seventy Prophets-as, Allah-azwj will not Accept that from him until he joins it with my-saww Wilayah and the Wilayah of the People-asws of my-saww Household in the Presence of Allah-azwj’’.[116]

‘We went over to Abu Abdullah-asws during the era of the Clan of Marwan. He-asws said: ‘Where are you all from?’ We said, From the people of Al Kufa’. He-asws said: ‘There are none is the city more loving to us-asws than the people of Al Kufa are, especially this group.

‘We were seated in the presence of the Prophets-saww when Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws came over. The Prophet-saww gave him-asws the pebble. When when it settled in the palm of Ali-asws, it spoke and it was saying, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww. I am pleased with Allah-azwj as a Lord-azwj and with Muhammad-saww as a Prophet-saww and with Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws as an Imam-asws and a Guardian’.

Then the Prophet-saww said: ‘The one of you who is pleased with Allah-azwj and with the Wilayah of Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws in the morning, so he has been secured from the fear of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Punishment’’.[119]

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy and Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Shahriyar Al Khazin reciting upon them at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Al Sheykh Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Toosy, from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Fahham, from Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Abdullah Al Mansoury, from Umm Abu Musa Isa Bin Ahmad Bin Isa who said,
قَصَدْتُ الْإِمَامَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَدِ اطَّرَحَنِي وَ قَطَعَ رِزْقِي وَ مَلَّنِي وَ مَا أَتَّهِمُ فِي ذَلِكَ إِلَّا عِلْمَهُ بِمُلَازَمَتِي لَكَ وَ إِذَا سَأَلْتَهُ فَسِيَاسَتُهُ تُلْزِمُهُ الْقَبُولَ مِنْكَ فَيَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيَّ بِمَسْأَلَتِهِ فَقَالَ تُكْفَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
‘I aimed for the Imam Ali Bin Muhammad-asws and I said to him-asws, ‘O my Master-asws! There is this man who is stepping on me and cut off my livelihood and frustrated me, and he does not accuse me regarding that except for his knowledge of my necessitating to you-asws, and when I ask him, so it is his pretence to accept from you-asws. It would befit me if you-asws could prefer upon me by requesting him’. He-asws said: ‘You shall be suffice, Allah-azwj Willing’.
فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي اللَّيْلِ طَرَقَنِي رَسُولُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ رَسُولٌ يَتْلُو رَسُولًا فَجِئْتُ وَ الْفَتْحُ عَلَى الْبَابِ قَائِمٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَجُلُ مَا تَأْوِي فِي مَنْزِلِكَ بِاللَّيْلِ؟ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ يَطْلُبُكَ
When it was during the night, the messenger of Mutawakkil came to me. A messenger following a messenger. I came and opened the door standing, and he said, ‘O man! What are sheltering in your house at night? This man (Al Mutawakkil) is seeking you’.
فَدَخَلْتُ فَإِذَا الْمُتَوَكِّلُ جَالِسٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُوسَى نَشْتَغِلُ عَنْكَ وَ تُنْسِينَا نَفْسَكَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ لَكَ عِنْدِي؟ فَقُلْتُ الصِّلَةُ الْفُلَانِيَّةُ وَ الرِّزْقُ الْفُلَانِيُّ وَ ذَكَرْتُ أَشْيَاءَ فَأَمَرَ لِي بِهَا وَ ضَعَّفَهَا
I went over and there was Mutawakkil seated upon his bed, and he said to me, ‘O Abu Musa! We are too pre-occupied from you, and your self is forgotten. Which thing is there for you with me?’ So I said, ‘The helping of so and so and the sustenance of so and so’, and I mentioned things. So he ordered for me with these and added it.
فَقُلْتُ لِلْفَتْحِ وَافَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ إِلَى هَاهُنَا فَقَالَ لَا فَقُلْتُ كَتَبَ رُقْعَةً فَقَالَ لَا فَوَلَّيْتُ مُنْصَرِفاً فَتَبِعَنِي فَقَالَ لَسْتُ أَشُكُّ أَنَّكَ سَأَلْتَهُ دُعَاءً لَكَ فَالْتَمِسْ لِي مِنْهُ دُعَاءً
I said to Al Fat’h, ‘Did you meet Ali Bin Muhammad-asws over here?’ He said, ‘No’. I said, ‘You wrote a letter?’ He said, ‘No’. I turned around and left, and he pursued me, and he said, ‘I have no doubt you would be asking him-asws for a supplication for you, therefore seek a supplication for me from him-asws’.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُوسَى هَذَا وَجْهُ الرِّضَا قُلْتُ بِبَرَكَتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ لَكِنْ قَالُوا لِي إِنَّكَ مَا مَضَيْتَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا سَأَلْتَهُ قَالَ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى عَلِمَ مِنَّا أَنَّا لَا نَلْجَأُ فِي الْمُهِمَّاتِ إِلَّا عَلَيْهِ وَ عَوَّدَنَا إِذَا سَأَلْنَاهُ الْإِجَابَةَ وَ نَخَافُ أَنْ نَعْدِلَ فَيَعْدِلَ بِنَا فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ الْفَتْحَ قَالَ لِي كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ
When I went over to him-asws, he-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Musa! This is an aspect of pleasure’. I said, ‘By your-asws Blessing, O my Master-asws! But, they are saying to me, ‘You did not go to him-asws nor did you ask him-asws’. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Knows from us-asws that we-asws do not as for the important things except to Him-azwj, and we-asws are accustomed when we-asws ask Him-azwj for the Answer and we-asws fear if we-asws are just, so He-azwj would be Just with us-asws’. I said, ‘Al Fat’h said this and this to me’.
فَقَالَ ع لِي إِنَّهُ يُوَالِينَا بِظَاهِرِهِ وَ يُجَانِبُنَا بِبَاطِنِهِ الدُّعَاءُ لِمَنْ يَدْعُو بِهِ إِذَا خَلَصْتَ فِي طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ اعْتَرَفْتَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بِحَقِّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى شَيْئاً لَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ
He-asws said to me: ‘He is befriending us-asws outwardly and he-asws is keeping aside from us inwardly. The supplication is for the one supplicates with it when he is sincere in the obedience of Allah-azwj and acknowledges with Rasool-Allah-saww and with our-asws rights, the People-asws of the Household, and you will ask Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted for something, He-azwj would not Deny you’.
قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي فَعَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَخْتَصُّ بِهِ مِنَ الْأَدْعِيَةِ فَقَالَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ كَثِيراً أَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِهِ وَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ أَنْ لَا يُخَيِّبَ مَنْ دَعَا بِهِ فِي مَشْهَدِي بَعْدِي وَ هُوَ
I said, ‘O my Master-asws! Teach me a supplication I can specialise with it from the (other) supplications’. So he-asws said: ‘This supplication, I-asws frequently supplicate to Allah-azwj with it, and I-asws have asked Allah-azwj that He-azwj should not disappoint the one who supplicates with it, in my-asws location after me-asws, and it is: –
يَا عُدَّتِي عِنْدَ الْعَدُوِّ وَ يَا رَجَائِي وَ الْمُعْتَمَدُ يَا كَهْفِي وَ السَّنَدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ مَنْ خَلَقْتَهُ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْ فِي خَلْقِكَ مِثْلَهُمْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ.
‘O my weapon in the presence of the enemy, and O my hope, and reliance! O my shelter and the support! O Alone! O One! O Say He-azwj Allah-azwj is One! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, by the right of the ones-asws You-azwj Created from Your-azwj creatures and did not Make the likes of them-asws among Your-azwj creatures, that You-azwj Send Salawat upon them-asws, and that You-azwj do this and this with me’’.[120]

It was narrated to us by the ascetic Seyyid Abu Talib Yahya Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Jawwany Al-Husayni, by dictation during Muharram of the year five hundred and nine, orally from him, and reading upon it after that, from Al Sheykh Abu Ali Jami’e Bin Ahmad Al Dihistany, from Al Sheykh the imam Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Al Abbas, from Is’haq Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al Sa’alby, from Abu Al Qasim Yaqoub Bin Ahmad Al Sary, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Muhammad during the year three hundred and thirty seven, from Abu Al Qasim Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Aamir Al Tai’y at Al Basra, from his father during the year two hundred and sixty, said,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws!

أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِيمَا أَجَازَ لِي وَ كَتَبَ لِي بِخَطِّهِ بِالرَّيِّ فِي خَانَقَاهِهِ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا السَّيِّدُ الزَّاهِدُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْحُسَيْنِيُّ الْجُرْجَانِيُّ القصي قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَالِدِي رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ عَنْ جَدِّي زَيْدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الطَّيِّبِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ السَّبِيعِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ السَّبِيعِيِّ قَالَ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh in what he allowed to me and wrote for me in his own handwriting in his shop, during the year five hundred and ten, from Al Seyid, the ascetic Abu Abdullah Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Zayd Al-Husayn Al Jurjany Al Qasy, from His father, from his grandfather Zayd Bin Muhammad, from Abu Al Tayyib Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad Al Sabi’ie, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Aziz, from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun, from Musa Bin Usman Al Hazramy, from Abu Is’haq Al Sabi’e who said,
سَمِعْتُ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ عَازِبٍ وَ زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ قَالا: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ وَ نَحْنُ نَرْفَعُ أَغْصَانَ الشَّجَرِ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنِ ادَّعَى إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ وَ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ مَنْ تَوَالَى إِلَى غَيْرِ مَوَالِيهِ وَ الْوَلَدُ لِلْفِرَاشِ وَ لَيْسَ لِلْوَارِثِ وَصِيَّةٌ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ سَمِعْتُمْ مِنِّي وَ رَأَيْتُمُونِي
‘I heard Al Bara’a Bin Azib and Zayd Bin Arqam saying, ‘We were in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww on the Day of Ghadeer Khumm, and we were lifting the branches of the tree from his-saww head, and he-saww said: ‘May Allah-azwj Curse the one who is claimed to other than his father, and may Allah-azwj Curse the one who follows to other than his Master-asws; and the child is for the bed (where he was conceived); and there isn’t a bequest for an inheritor and you have heard it from me-as and seen me-saww.
أَلَا مَنْ كَذَّبَ عَلِيّاً مُتَعَمِّداً فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ أَلَا إِنَّ دِمَاءَكُمْ وَ أَمْوَالَكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ كَحُرْمَةِ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا فِي بَلَدِكُمْ هَذَا فِي شَهْرِكُمْ هَذَا أَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ فَمُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الْأُمَمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تَسْوَدُّ وَجْهِي
Indeed! The one who belies Ali-asws deliberately, so let him assume his seat from the Fire. Indeed! Your bloods and your wealth is sacred upon you all like the sanctity of this day of yours, in this city of yours, in this month of yours. I-saww shall be exuberant with you all at the Fountain. I-saww shall boast of your abundant numbers to the (other) communities on the Day of Qiyamah, therefore do not blacken my-saww face.
أَلَا لَأَسْتَنْقِذَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنَ النَّارِ وَ لَيُسْتَنْقَذَنَّ مِنْ يَدِي آخَرُونَ وَ لَأَقُولَنَّ يَا رَبِّ أَصْحَابِي فَيُقَالُ إِنَّكَ لَا تَدْرِي مَا أَحْدَثُوا بَعْدَكَ
Indeed! Some men would be Recovered from the Fire and the others would be Recovered from my-saww hands, and I-saww shall be saying: ‘O Lord-azwj! My-saww companions!’. He (s.w.t.) would Say: “You-azwj do not know what they had innovated after you-saw”.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَلِيِّي وَ أَنَا وَلِيُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ فَمَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ اللَّهُمَّ وَالِ مَنْ وَالاهُ وَ عَادِ مَنْ عَادَاهُ
Indeed! Allah-azwj is my-saww Guardian, and I-saww am the Guardian of every Momin. The one whose Master-asws I-saww was, so Ali-asws is his Master-asws. O Allah-azwj! Befriend the one who befriends him-asws and be Inimical to the one who is inimical to him-asws’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ص إِنِّي تَارِكٌ فِيكُمُ الثَّقَلَيْنِ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَ عِتْرَتِي طَرَفُهُ بِيَدِي وَ طَرَفُهُ بِأَيْدِيكُمْ فَاسْأَلُوهُمْ وَ لَا تَسْأَلُوا غَيْرَهُمْ.
Then he-saww said: ‘I-saww am leaving among you two weighty things – the Book of Allah-azwj and my-saww family. Its end is in my-saww hand and its end is in your hands, therefore ask them-asws and do not ask other than them-asws’’.[122]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِيمَا أَجَازَ لِي رِوَايَتَهُ عَنْهُ وَ كَتَبَ لِي بِخَطِّهِ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ بِمَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْمَعْرُوفُ بِابْنِ الصَّقَّالِ: قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْقِلٍ الْعِجْلِيُّ القرمسي [الْقِرْمِيسِينِيُ] بِشَهْرَزُورَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الصُّهْبَانِ الْبَاهِلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy in what he allowed to me to report it from him and wrote it for me in his own handwriting, in the year five hundred and ten, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from Abu Al-Hassan Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn well known as Ibn Al Saqqal, from Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Ma’aqil Al Ijaly Al Qarmasy (Al Qirmisayni) at Sharazour, from Muhammad Bin Abu Al Sahban Al Bahily, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaql, from Hamza Bin Humran,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ فَلَمَّا انْفَتَلَ جَلَسَ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ وَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ شَيْخٌ مِنْ مُهَاجَرَةِ الْعَرَبِ [عَلَيْهِ] سَمَلٌ قَدْ تَهَلَّلَ وَ اخْتَلَقَ وَ هُوَ لَا يَكَادُ يَتَمَالَكُ ضَعْفاً وَ كِبَراً فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَسْتَجْلِيهِ الْخَبَرَ
From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from Jabir Bn Abdullah Al Ansary who said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww prayed Salat Al Asr with us. When he-saww finished, he-saww sat in his-saww Qiblah and the people were around him-saww. While they were like that when an old man from the Emigrants of the Arabs came over. Upon him were worn out clothes which were hanging and ripped, and he was almost unstable out of weakness and old age. Rasool-Allah-saww faced and inquired the news.
فَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص أَنَا جَائِعُ الْكَبِدِ فَأَطْعِمْنِي وَ عَارِي الْجَسَدِ فَاكْسُنِي وَ فَقِيرٌ فَأَرِشْنِي فَقَالَ مَا أَجِدُ لَكَ شَيْئاً وَ لَكِنَّ الدَّالَّ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ كَفَاعِلِهِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى مَنْزِلِ مَنْ يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ يُؤْثِرُ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ انْطَلِقْ إِلَى حُجْرَةِ فَاطِمَةَ
The Sheykh said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj. I am hungry of liver so feed me, and am bare of the body so clothe me, and am poor so sprinkle me (with wealth)’. He-saww said: ‘I-saww cannot find anything for you, but the pointer towards the good is like its doer. Go to the house of the one who loves Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww love him. He prefers Allah-azwj over himself. Go to the chamber of Fatima-asws!’.
وَ كَانَ بَيْتُهَا مُلَاصِقاً بَيْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص الَّذِي يَنْفَرِدُ بِهِ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِهِ يَا بِلَالُ قُمْ فَقِفْ بِهِ عَلَى مَنْزِلِ فَاطِمَةَ
And it was so that her-asws house was adjacent to the house of Rasool-Allah-saww which he-saww had individualised is by himself-saww from his-saww wives. (He-saww said): ‘Arise, O Bilal, and pause with him at the house of Fatima-asws’.
فَانْطَلَقَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ مَعَ بِلَالٍ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَ عَلَى بَابِ فَاطِمَةَ نَادَى بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَهْبِطَ جَبْرَئِيلَ الرُّوحِ الْأَمِينِ بِالتَّنْزِيلِ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
The Bedouin went with Bilal. When he paused at the door of Fatima-asws, he called out at the top of his voice, ‘The greetings be upon you, O People-asws of the Household of the Prophet-hood, and the interchange of the Angels, and the descent of Jibraeel-as the Trustworthy Spirit with the Revelation from the Presence of the Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع مَنْ أَنْتَ يَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ شَيْخٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِيكِ سَيِّدِ الْبَشَرِ مُهَاجِراً مِنْ شُقَّةٍ وَ أَنَا يَا بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَارِي الْجَسَدِ جَائِعُ الْكَبِدِ فَوَاسِينِي رَحِمَكِ اللَّهُ
Fatima-asws said: ‘Who are you, O this one?’ He said, ‘A sheykh from the Arabs. I had gone to your-asws father-saww, the chief of the mortals, emigrating from a distance, and I, O daughter-asws of Muhammad-saww, am bare of the body, hungry of the liver. Therefore, sympathise with me, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on you-asws’.
وَ كَانَ لِفَاطِمَةَ وَ عَلِيٍّ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَالِ وَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص ثَلَاثاً مَا طَعِمُوا فِيهَا طَعَاماً وَ قَدْ عَلِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمَا فَعَمَدَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع إِلَى جِلْدِ كَبْشٍ مَدْبُوغٍ بالقرض [بِالْقَرَظِ] كَانَ يَنَامُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ ع فَقَالَتْ خُذْ هَذَا أَيُّهَا الطَّارِقُ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَرْتَاحَ لَكَ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ
And it was so that for Fatima-asws and Ali-asws in that situation, and Rasool-Allah-saww (as well) for three (days), they had not eaten a meal during it, and Rasool-Allah-saww had known that of their-asws state. Fatima-asws deliberated to a sheep skin which had been tanned with the Al Karz (some material). It was so that Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws used to sleep upon it. She-asws said: ‘Take this, O you O visitor! Perhaps Allah-azwj would Cause you to relax with what is better than it’.
فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَا بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْكِ الْجُوعَ فَنَاوَلْتِنِي جِلْدَ كَبْشٍ مَا أَنَا صَانِعٌ بِهِ مَعَ مَا أَجِدُ مِنَ السَّغَبِ
The Bedouin said, ‘O daughter-asws of Muhammad-saww! I complained to you-asws of the hunger, and you-asws are giving me a sheep skin? What am I to do with it, with what I find from the hunger?’.
قَالَ فَعَمَدَتْ ع لَمَّا سَمِعَتْ هَذَا مِنْ قَوْلِهِ إِلَى عِقْدٍ كَانَ فِي عُنُقِهَا أَهْدَتْهُ لَهَا فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ عَمِّهَا حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَقَطَعَتْهُ مِنْ عُنُقِهَا وَ نَبَذَتْهُ إِلَى الْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَقَالَتْ خُذْهُ وَ بِعْهُ فَعَسَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعَوِّضَكَ بِهِ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘She-asws deliberated due to what she-asws heard from his words to a pendant which was in her-asws neck, gifted to her-asws by Fatima, daughter of her-asws uncle Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib. She-asws cut it off from her-asws neck and discarded it to the Bedouin, and she-asws said: ‘Take it, and sell it. Perhaps Allah-azwj would Give you instead of it what is better than it’.
فَأَخَذَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ الْعِقْدَ وَ انْطَلَقَ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ النَّبِيُّ ص جَالِسٌ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ
The Bedouin took the pendant and went to the Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww, and the Prophet-saww was seated among his-saww companions.
فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْطَتْنِي فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ هَذَا الْعِقْدَ وَ قَالَتْ بِعْهُ فَعَسَى أَنْ يَصْنَعَ لَكَ قَالَ فَبَكَى النَّبِيُّ ص وَ قَالَ لَا كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَ قَدْ أَعْطَتْكَ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدَةُ بَنَاتِ آدَمَ
He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Fatima-asws daughter of Muhammad-saww gave me this pendant and she-asws said: ‘Sell it, perhaps He-azwj would do something for you’. The Prophet-saww wept and said: ‘No, and how can Allah-azwj Do it for you and it was given to you by Fatima-asws daughter of Muhammad-saww the chieftess of the daughters of Adam-as?’.
فَقَامَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَ تَأْذَنُ لِي بِشِرَاءِ هَذَا الْعِقْدِ قَالَ ص اشْتَرِهِ يَا عَمَّارُ فَلَوِ اشْتَرَكَ فِيهِ الثَّقَلَانِ مَا عَذَّبَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِالنَّارِ فَقَالَ عَمَّارٌ بِكَمْ هَذَا الْعِقْدُ يَا أَعْرَابِيُّ
Ammar Bin Yasser stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Will you allow me to buy this pendant?’ He-saww said: ‘Buy it, O Ammar, for it the Jinns and the humans were to participate with you, Allah-azwj will not Punish them with the Fire’. Ammar said, ‘For how much is this pendant, O Bedouin?’
قَالَ بِشُبْعَةٍ مِنَ الْخُبْزِ وَ اللَّحْمِ وَ بُرْدَةٍ يَمَانِيَّةٍ أَسْتُرُ بِهَا عَوْرَتِي وَ أُصَلِّي فِيهَا لِرَبِّي وَ دِينَارٍ يُبْلِغُنِي إِلَى أَهْلِي
He Said, ‘For satiation from the bread and the meat, and a Yemeni cloak to cover my bareness with and I can pray Salat to my Lord-azwj in it, and a Dinar to make me reach to my family’.
وَ كَانَ عَمَّارٌ قَدْ بَاعَ سَهْمَهُ الَّذِي نَقَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ مِنْ خَيْبَرَ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً فَقَالَ لَكَ عِشْرُونَ دِينَاراً وَ مِائَتَا دِرْهَمٍ هَجَرِيَّةٌ وَ بُرْدَةٌ يَمَانِيَّةٌ وَ رَاحِلَتِي تُبْلِغُكَ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ وَ شُبْعَةٌ مِنْ خُبْزِ الْبُرِّ وَ اللَّحْمِ
And it was so that Ammar had sold his share which Rasool-Allah-saww had transferred is from Khyber, and there did not remain anything from it. He said, ‘For you are twenty Dinars and two hundred Dirhams Hijriyya, and a Yemeni cloak, and my rider to make you reach to your family, and satiation from wheat bread and meat’.
فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ مَا أَسْخَاكَ بِالْمَالِ وَ انْطَلَقَ بِهِ عَمَّارٌ فَوَفَّاهُ مَا ضَمِنَ لَهُ وَ عَادَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
The Bedouin said, ‘How generous you are with the wealth’. And Ammar went with him and fulfilled to him what he had guaranteed to him, and the Bedouin returned to Rasool-Allah-saww.

Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘Have you been satiated and clothed?’ The Bedouin said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww, and I have been enriched. May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you-saww’. He-saww said: ‘So recompense Fatima-asws for what she-asws did’.
فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ إِلَهٌ مَا اسْتَحْدَثْنَاكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ لَنَا نَعْبُدُهُ سِوَاكَ وَ أَنْتَ رَازِقُنَا عَلَى كُلِّ الْجِهَاتِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ فَاطِمَةَ ع مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَ لَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ
The Bedouin said, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are God Who Created us, and there is no God for us that we worship besides You-azwj, and You-saww are our Sustainer upon every aspect. O Allah-azwj! Give (Syeda) Fatima-asws what neither an eye has seen nor an ear has heard of’.
فَأَمَّنَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَلَى دُعَائِهِ وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَعْطَى فَاطِمَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا ذَلِكَ أَنَا أَبُوهَا وَ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْعَالَمِينَ مِثْلِي وَ عَلِيٌّ بَعْلُهَا وَ لَوْ لَا عَلِيٌّ مَا كَانَ لِفَاطِمَةَ كُفْوٌ أَبَداً وَ أَعْطَاهَا الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ وَ مَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ مِثْلُهُمَا سَيِّدَا شَبَابِ أَسْبَاطِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ سَيِّدَا أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ
The Prophet-saww said Ameen upon his supplication and turned to his-saww companions and he-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has already Given that to Fatima-asws in the world. I-saww am her-asws father, and there is no one from the universe like me-saww, and Ali-asws is her-asws husband. And had it not been for Ali-asws, there would not have been a match for Fatima-asws, ever! And He-azwj Gave her-asws Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and there isn’t for the universe the likes of them-asws. They-asws are the chiefs of the tribes of the Prophets-as and chiefs of the people of the Paradise’.
وَ كَانَ بِإِزَائِهِ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَ عَمَّارٌ وَ سَلْمَانُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا فَقَالَ وَ أَزِيدُكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
And he-saww was confronting Al Miqdad-as, and Ibn Umar, and Ammar, and Salaman-as, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with them, and he-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww increase for you all?’ They said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’.
قَالَ ص أَتَانِي الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ يَعْنِي جَبْرَئِيلَ ع وَ قَالَ إِنَّهَا إِذَا هِيَ قُبِضَتْ وَ دُفِنَتْ يَسْأَلُهَا الْمَلَكَانِ فِي قَبْرِهَا مَنْ رَبُّكِ؟ فَتَقُولُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي فَيَقُولَانِ مَنْ نَبِيُّكِ؟ فَتَقُولُ أَبِي فَيَقُولَانِ فَمَنْ وَلِيُّكِ؟ فَتَقُولُ هَذَا الْقَائِمُ عَلَى شَفِيرِ قَبْرِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
He-saww said: ‘The Trustworthy Spirit came to me-saww, meaning Jibraeel-as, and said, ‘She-asws, when she-asws passes away and buried, the two Angels would ask her in her-asws grave, ‘Who is your-asws Lord-azwj?’ She-asws would be saying: ‘Allah-azwj is my-asws Lord-azwj’. They would be saying, ‘Who is your-asws Prophet-saww?’ She-asws would be saying: ‘My-asws father-asws’. They would be saying, ‘SWho is your-asws Guardian-asws?’ She-asws would be saying: ‘This one standing upon the edge of my-asws grave, Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws’.
أَلَا وَ أَزِيدُكُمْ مِنْ فَضْلِهَا؟ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَكَّلَ بِهَا رَعِيلًا مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَحْفَظُونَهَا مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهَا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهَا وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهَا وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهَا وَ هُمْ مَعَهَا فِي حَيَاتِهَا وَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِهَا بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا يُكْثِرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهَا وَ عَلَى أَبِيهَا وَ بَعْلِهَا وَ بَنِيهَا
Indeed! Shall I-saww increase for you all of her-asws merits? Allah-azwj has Allocated a group of Angels with her-asws, protecting her-asws from in front of her-asws, and from behind her-asws, and from her-asws right and from her-asws left, and they would be with her-asws during her-asws lifetime and by her-asws grave after her-asws passing away, frequenting the Salawat upon her-asws and upon her-asws father-saww, and her-asws husband-asws, and her-asws two sons-asws.

The one who visits me-asws after my-saww expiry, so it is as if he has visited me-saww during my-saww lifetime, and the one who visits Fatima-asws it is as if he has visited me-saww, and the one who visits Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, so it is as if he has visited Fatima-asws, and the one who visits Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, so it is as if he has visited Ali-asws, and the one who visits their-asws offspring-asws, so it is as if he has visited the two of them-asws.

Ammar deliberated to the pendant and aromatised it with the musk and enveloped in it a Yemeny cloth. And it was so that he had a slave whose name was Sahm whom he had bought from that share which he had attained at Khyber. He handed over the pendant to the slave and said to him, ‘Take this pendant and hand it over to Rasool-Allah-saww, and you are (also) for him-saww’. He came over to Rasool-Allah-saww with it and informed him-saww of the words of Ammar, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص انْطَلِقْ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَادْفَعْ إِلَيْهَا الْعِقْدَ وَ أَنْتَ لَهَا فَجَاءَ الْمَمْلُوكُ بِالْعِقْدِ وَ أَخْبَرَهَا بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع الْعِقْدَ وَ أَعْتَقَتِ الْمَمْلُوكَ فَضَحِكَ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ ع مَا يُضْحِكُكَ يَا غُلَامُ؟
The Prophet-saww Said: ‘Go to Fatima-asws and hand the pendant over to her-asws, and you (also) are for her-asws’. The slave came over with the pendant and informed her-asws of the words of Rasool-Allah-saww. Fatima-asws took the pendant and freed the slave. So, the slave laughed. Fatima-asws said: ‘What makes you laugh O slave?’
فَقَالَ أَضْحَكَنِي عِظَمُ بَرَكَةِ هَذَا الْعِقْدِ أَشْبَعَ جَائِعاً وَ كَسَا عُرْيَاناً وَ أَغْنَى فَقِيراً وَ أَعْتَقَ عَبْداً وَ رَجَعَ إِلَى رَبِّهِ.
He said, ‘It is the greatness of this pendant which makes me laugh. It satiated a hungry one, and clothed a bare one, and enriched a poor one, and freed a slave, and returned back to its (original) owner’.[123]

I was playing with Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws, and he-asws was a child, with Al Madahy (a toy). When my toy hit his-asws toy, I said, ‘(You-asws have to carry me)’. He-asws said: ‘Will you ride upon a back which Rasool-Allah-saww carried?’ So, I left him-asws.

Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Regarding what is the flipping and the dispersion? People of Al-Iraq! Is it except for the persons who are inclining wherein are flying hearts? If the swords of the people of the truth were to touch these (hearts), you would see them like locusts, on a spot struck by the wind during a stormy day.
أَلَا فَاسْتَشْعِرُوا الْخَشْيَةَ وَ تَجَلْبَبُوا السَّكِينَةَ وَ ادَّرِعُوا الصَّبْرَ وَ غُضُّوا الْأَصْوَاتَ وَ قَلِّقُوا الْأَسْيَافَ فِي الْأَغْمَادِ قَبْلَ السَّلَّةِ وَ انْظُرُوا الْخَزْرَ وَ اطْعُنُوا الشَّزْرَ وَ كَافِحُوا بِالظُّبَى
Indeed! Be aware of the fear of Allah-azwj, and bring about the tranquillity and arm yourselves with the patience and lower your voices, and shake the swords in the sheaths before the brandishing, and lookout at both the sides and stab your spears from both sides and fight with the mountain goats (cowardly fleeing enemies).
وَ صِلُوا السُّيُوفَ بِالْخُطَى وَ النِّبَالَ بِالرِّمَاحِ وَ عَاوِدُوا الْكَرَّ وَ اسْتَحْيُوا مِنَ الْفَرِّ فَإِنَّهُ عَارٌ فِي الْأَعْقَابِ وَ نَارٌ يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ فَطِيبُوا عَنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ نَفْساً وَ امْشُوا إِلَى الْمَوْتِ مَشْيَةً سُجُحاً فَإِنَّكُمْ بِعَيْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَعَ أَخِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And strike your swords with the pace, and the darting of the spears, and repeat the striking, and be ashamed from fleeing for it would be a shame among the posterity, and (you would be in the) Fire on the Day of Reckoning. Therefore, make good your own selves and walk towards the death with an easy walk, for you all are in the Eyes of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and with the brother of Rasool-Allah-saww.
وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذَا السُّرَادِقِ الْأَدْلَمِ وَ الرِّوَاقِ الْمُظْلِمِ وَ اضْرِبُوا ثَبَجَهُ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ رَاقِدٌ فِي كَسْرِهِ نَاقِشٌ حِضْنَيْهِ مُفْتَرِشٌ ذِرَاعَيْهِ قَدْ قَدَّمَ لِلْوَثْبَةِ يَداً وَ أَخَّرَ لِلنُّكُوصِ رِجْلًا
And it is upon you with this pitched tent (of Muawiya) and the dark alleyway, and strike at its centre, for the Satan-la is lying down in in it corner, arguing in his-la lap, with wide open arms, having had extended his-la hand for the attacking and holding back the legs for the retreating.
فَصَمْداً صَمْداً حَتَّى يَنْجَلِيَ لَكُمْ عَمُودُ الْحَقِ وَ أَنْتُمُ الْأَعْلَوْنَ وَ اللَّهُ مَعَكُمْ وَ لَنْ يَتِرَكُمْ أَعْمالَكُمْ هَا أَنَا شَادٌّ فَشُدُّوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ حم لَا يُنْصَرُونَ
Therefore, endue with an endurance until the pillars of the truth are clear upon you: and Allah is with you and will never Deprive you for your deeds [47:35]. Here I-asws am, fighting, and you should be fighting (as well) in the Name of Allah-azwj, and they will not be victorious’.
ثُمَّ حَمَلَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ حَمْلَةً وَ تَبِعَتْهُ خُوَيْلَةٌ لَمْ تَبْلُغِ الْمِائَةَ فَارِسٍ فَأَجَالَهُمْ فِيهَا جَوَلَانَ الرَّحَى الْمُسَرَّحَةِ بِثِقَالِهَا فَارْتَفَعَتْ عَجَاجَةٌ مَنَعَتْنِي النَّظَرُ ثُمَّ انْجَلَتْ فَأَثْبَتُّ النَّظَرَ فَلَمْ نَرَ إِلَّا رَأْساً نَادِراً وَ يَداً طَائِحَةً فِيمَا كَانَ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ كَأَنَّهُمْ حُمُرٌ مُسْتَنْفِرَةٌ فَرَّتْ مِنْ قَسْوَرَةٍ
Then Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawat and the greetings be upon him-asws and his-asws offspring, attacked, and the cavalry followed him-asws, (their number) not reaching a hundred horsemen. He-asws trapped them with an encircling of a millstone. They were disbanded by their heaviness. The raising of the dust prevented me from the sighting. Then it receded, so I focused the sight but we did not see except for a rare head and a fallen hand among what was very quick from their turning away departing: As if they were frightened donkeys [74:50] Fleeing from a lion [74:51].
فَإِذَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ وَ سَيْفَهُ يَنْطُفُ وَ وَجْهُهُ كَشِقَّةِ الْقَمَرِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ فَقاتِلُوا أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ إِنَّهُمْ لا أَيْمانَ لَهُمْ.
And there was Amir Al-Momineen-asws having had returned, and his-asws sword was dripping (with blood) and his-asws face like the bright moon, and he-asws was saying: then fight the imams of Kufr – surely their oaths (mean) nothing, perhaps they would desist [9:12]’’.[127]
[فى أمر الرسول لعلي بقتال الناكثين و القاسطين و المارقين.]
Regarding the instructions of the Rasool-saww to Ali-asws with the fighting against the breakers of the Covenant, and the oppressors and the apostates.
قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ وَ كَانَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يُحَدِّثُ فَيَقُولُ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيّاً ع بِقِتَالِ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْقَاسِطِينَ وَ الْمَارِقِينَ وَ قَالَ ص يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّكَ لَمُقَاتِلٌ عَلَى تَأْوِيلِ الْقُرْآنِ كَمَا قَاتَلْتُ عَلَى تَنْزِيلِهِ.
Ikrama said, ‘And it was so that Ibn Abbas was narrating and he was saying, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww instructed Ali-asws with the fighting against the breakers of the Covenant, and the oppressors, and the apostates and he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! You-asws will be fought against upon the explanation of the Quran just as I-saww was fought upon its Revelation’’.[128]
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِقِرَاءَتِي فِي مَشْهَدِ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سَنَةَ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْفَحَّامُ قَالَ:
It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading in the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven, from his father, from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Fahham who said,
حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الطَّيِّبِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بويطة وَ كَانَ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْمَشْهَدَ وَ يَزُورُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الشُّبَّاكِ فَقَالَ لِي جِئْتُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ ظَهْراً وَ الشَّمْسُ تَغْلِي وَ الطَّرِيقُ خَالٍ مِنْ وَاحِدٍ وَ أَنَا فَزِعٌ مِنَ الذُّعَّارِ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ أَتَخَفَّى إِلَى أَنْ بَلَغْتُ الْحَائِطَ الَّذِي أَمْضِي مِنْهُ إِلَى الشُّبَّاكِ
‘It was narrated to me by Abu Al Tayyib Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Buweyta, and he did not use to enter the location (house of the 12th Imam-asws), and he used to visit from behind the window. He said to me, ‘I went on the day of Ashoura at midday and the sun was boiling hot and the road was devoid of anyone, and I panicked from the fear and from the inhabitants of the city. I was hiding until I reached the wall from which I could go to the window.
فَمَدَدْتُ عَيْنِي فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ جَالِسٍ عَلَى الْبَابِ ظَهْرُهُ إِلَيَّ كَأَنَّهُ يَنْظُرُ فِي دَفْتَرٍ فَقَالَ لِي إِلَى أَيْنَ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ بِصَوْتٍ يُشْبِهُ صَوْتَ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الرِّضَا فَقُلْتُ هَذَا حُسَيْنٌ قَدْ جَاءَ يَزُورُ أَخَاهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي أَمْضِي أَزُورُ مِنَ الشُّبَّاكِ وَ أَجِيئُكَ فَأَقْضِي حَقَّكَ
My eyes flowed with tears and there was a man seated at the door with his back towards me, as if he was looking into the note book. He said to me, ‘To where (are you going), O Abu Al Tayyib?’, in a voice resembling the voice of Husayn son of Ali Bni Muhammad Bin Al Reza-asws (son of 10th Imam-asws)’. I said (to myself), ‘This is Husayn who has come to visit his brother-asws (to perform Ziyarat of 11th Imam-asws)’. I said, ‘O my Master! I have come to visit from the window and come to you to fulfil your right’.
فَقَالَ وَ لِمَ لَا تَدْخُلُ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ تَكُونُ مَوْلًى لَنَا وَ رِقّاً وَ تُوَالِينَا حَقّاً وَ نَمْنَعُكَ تَدْخُلُ الدَّارَ ادْخُلْ يَا أَبَا الطَّيِّبِ فَقُلْتُ أَمْضِي أُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا أَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ فَجِئْتُ إِلَى الْبَابِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ فَيُشْعِرُ بِي وَ بَادَرْتُ إِلَى عِنْدِ الْبَصْرِيِّ خَادِمِ الْمَوْضِعِ فَفَتَحَ لِيَ الْبَابَ فَدَخَلْتُ فَكُنَّا نَقُولُ لَهُ أَ لَيْسَ كُنْتَ لَا تَدْخُلُ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَقَدْ أَذِنُوا لِي بَقِيتُمْ أَنْتُمْ.
He said, ‘And why do you not enter, O Abu Al Tayyib? You happen to be a friend of ours and in service and you are really considering us as friends, and we would prevent you from entering the house? Enter, O Abu Al Tayyib!’. I said (to myself), ‘I shall go and greet upon him-asws (from the door) and will not accept it from him’. I went to the door and there wasn’t anyone upon it. He became aware of me and I initiated to be in the presence of Al-Basry, the caretaker of the place. He opened the door for me and I entered. We used to be saying to him, ‘Wasn’t I not entering?’ He said, ‘But, I, so it has been permitted for me to let you stay’.

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh with permission, from his uncle Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from his father Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, from his uncle Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Babuwayh, from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far, from Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Ismail Bin Murad, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Kuleyb Bin Muawiya Al Asady who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying, ‘But you all, by Allah-azwj, are upon the Religion of Allah-azwj and the Religion of His-azwj Angels, therefore assist us-asws upon that by the devoutness and the striving. It is upon you is the Salat, and upon you is the devoutness’.[129]

It was informed to us by Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy at the occultation of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws by my reading upon it during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven, from his father Abu Ja’far Al Toosy, from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Fahham, from his uncle Umar Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Ubdous, from Muhammad Bin Bahar Bin Ammar, from Zakariyya Bin Yahya, from Jabir Bin Is’haq Bin Abdullah Bin Al Haris, from his father,
عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص وَ عِنْدَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ فَجَلَسْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا وَجَدْتَ غَيْرَ فَخِذِي وَ فَخِذِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
From Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘I-asws went over to the Prophet-saww and in his-saww presence were Abu Bakr and Umar. I-asws sat down between him-saww and Ayesha. Ayesha said, ‘You-asws could not find any other than my leg and the leg of Rasool-Allah-saww?’
فَقَالَ ص مَهْ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي عَلِيٍّ فَإِنَّهُ أَخِي فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَخِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ هُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يُجْلِسُهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ فَيَدْخُلُ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ أَعْدَاءَهُ النَّارَ.
He-saww said: ‘Muh! O Ayesha! Do not hurt me-saww regarding Ali-asws, for he-asws is my-saww brother in the world and my-saww brother in the Hereafter, and he-asws is the Emir of the Momineen. Allah-azwj would have him-asws seated upon the Bridge of the Day of Qiyamah, and he-asws would enter his-asws friends into the Paradise and his-asws enemies into the Fire’.[130]
أَخْبَرَنِي الشَّيْخُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ إِجَازَةً وَ قِرَاءَةً عَلَى وَلَدِهِ بَعْدَ أَنْ نَسَخْتُهُ مِنْ أَصْلِهِ سَنَةَ عَشَرَةٍ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ الْفَقِيهِ الْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مَرَّارٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْمِعْزَى عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ:
It was informed to me by the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, and I read upon his son afterwards and copied it from its original, in the year five hundred and ten, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al-Husayn, from his uncle Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Babuwayh, the jurist Al Qummy, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ismail Bin Marrar, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Yahya Al Halby, from Abu Al Magra, from Yazeed Bin Khalifa who said,
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ نَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ [نَظَرْتُمْ حَيْثُ] نَظَرَ اللَّهُ وَ اخْتَرْتُمْ مَنِ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ أَخَذَ النَّاسُ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا وَ قَصَدْتُمْ مُحَمَّداً ص أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ لَعَلَى الْمَحَجَّةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ فَأَعِينُونَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ بِوَرَعٍ
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me and we were in his-asws presence: ‘You are looking where Allah-azwj is Looking (direction), and your choice is from the Choice of Allah-azwj. The people take from the right and left, and your aim is Muhammad-saww, the clear aim. Therefore, assist us-asws upon that with devoutness’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ حَيْثُ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ وَ مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ إِذَا عَرَّفَهُ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ أَنْ لَا يُعَرِّفَهُ النَّاسَ إِنَّهُ مَنْ عَمِلَ لِلنَّاسِ كَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَ مَنْ عَمِلَ لِلَّهِ كَانَ ثَوَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ.
Then he-asws said: ‘When we-asws intend to rise. And what is upon one of you when Allah-azwj has Caused him to recognise this matter (Al Wilayah), if the people do not recognise him? It is so, the one who works for the people, his reward would be upon the people, and the one who works for Allah-azwj, his Reward would be upon Allah-azwj’.[131]
[قول النبى يقول اللّه يوم القيامة لي و لعلي أدخلا الجنة من أحبكم و أدخلا النار من أبغضكما.]
The words of the Prophet-saww: ‘On the Dayof Judgment, Allah-azwj would be Saying to me-saww and to Ali-asws: “Enter into the Paradise the one who loves you-asws both and enter into the Fire the one who hates you-asws both”.

It was informed to us by the Sheykh Abu Ali Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Toosy, by my reading upon it during the Month of Ramazan of the year five hundred and eleven, at the location of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, from his father, May Allah-azwj Cool their beds (graves), from Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan Bin Yahya Al Fahham, from Abu Al Tayyib Muhammad Bin Al Farhan Al Dowry, from Muhammad Bin Furat Al Dahhan, from Sufyan Bin Wakie, from his father, from Al Amsh, from Ibn Al Mutawakkal Al Najy, from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted would be Saying on the Day of Qiyamah, to me-saww and to Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws: “Enter the Paradise the one who loves you-asws both, and enter the Fire the one who hates you-asws both”’.[132]
[إذا كان يوم القيامة نصب الصراط على جهنم لم يجز عليه إلا من كان معه جواز فيه بولاية علي «ع».]
When it would be the Day of Qiyamah, the Bridge would be set up upon Hell. None would be allowed to cross over it except the one who would have a permit wherein is the Wilayah of Ali-asws.

From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the Bridge would be established upon the edge of Hell, so none shall cross it except for the one with whom would be a clearance with the Wilayah of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[134]
[قال رسول اللّه اني لأرجو لأمتي فى حب علي كما أرجو فى قول لا إله إلا اللّه.]
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am hoping for my-saww community regarding the love of Ali-asws just as I-saww am hoping regarding the words ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’.

And from, from his father, from his grandfather, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim Al Farsy, from Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr Yahya Bin Zakariyya Al Deyrouziny, from Ahmad Bin Yaqoub Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Yaqoub Bin Yusuf Bin Aasim, from Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Hakam and Al-Husayn Al Ansary, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Al Amsh, from Ibrahim Bin Alqama and Al Aswad who both said,
أَتَيْنَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَقُلْنَا يَا أَبَا أَيُّوبَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَكْرَمَكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ضَيْفاً لَكَ فَضِيلَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَضَّلَكَ بِهَا فَأَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ مَخْرَجِكَ مَعَ عَلِيٍّ تُقَاتِلُ أَهْلَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
‘We went over to Abu Ayoub Al-Ansary and we said, ‘O Abu Ayoub! Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Honoured you with your Prophet-saww when he-saww was a guest of yours, being a merit from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Gracing you with it. Inform us about your going out along with Ali-asws to fight the people of ‘There is no god except for Allah-azwj’.
فَقَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ فَإِنِّي أُقْسِمُ لَكُمْ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مِنِّي فِي الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي أَنْتُمْ مَعِي فِيهِ وَ مَا فِي الْبَيْتِ غَيْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَعِي وَ عَلِيٌّ جَالِسٌ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَائِمٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ إِذْ حُرِّكَ الْبَابُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَا أَنَسُ انْظُرْ مَنْ بِالْبَابِ فَخَرَجَ أَنَسٌ فَنَظَرَ فَإِذَا هُوَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص افْتَحْ لِعَمَّارٍ الطَّيِّبِ
Abu Ayoub said, ‘I hereby swear to you all by Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, it was so that Rasool-Allah-saww was with me in the house which you are with me (at the moment), and there wasn’t in the house apart from Rasool-Allah-saww with me, and Ali-asws was seated on his-saww right and I was seated on his-saww left, and Anas Bin Malik was standing in front of him-saww, when the door was knocked upon. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Anas! Look who is at the door’. Anas went out and looked, and it was Ammar Bin Yasser. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Open for Ammar, the good (one)’.
فَدَخَلَ عَمَّارٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَرَحَّبَ بِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا عَمَّارُ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي فِي أُمَّتِي هَنَاتٌ حَتَّى يَخْتَلِفَ السَّيْفُ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَ حَتَّى يَقْتُلَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَ حَتَّى يَتَبَرَّأَ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ذَلِكَ فَعَلَيْكَ بِهَذَا الْأَصْلَعِ عَنْ يَمِينِي يَعْنِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ
Ammar entered and greeted upon Rasool-Allah-saww and he-saww welcomed him, then said to him: ‘O Ammar! There will happen to be flaws in my-saww community after me-saww until the swords will clash with regards to what is between them to the extent that they would kill each other, and to the extent that they would disavow from each other. When you see that, upon you would be with this short-haired one on my-saww right, meaning Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws.
فَإِنْ سَلَكَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ وَادِياً وَ سَلَكَ عَلِيٌّ وَادِياً فَاسْلُكْ وَادِيَ عَلِيٍّ وَ خَلِّ عَنْ النَّاسِ يَا عَمَّارُ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً لَا يَرُدُّكَ عَنْ هُدًى وَ لَا يَدُلُّكَ عَلَى رَدًى يَا عَمَّارُ طَاعَةُ عَلِيٍّ طَاعَتِي وَ طَاعَتِي طَاعَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
Thus, if the people, all of them were to travel in a valley and Ali-asws travels in a (another) valley, so travel the valley of Ali-asws and isolate from the people. O Ammar! Ali-asws will not repel you from guidance nor will he-asws point you upon an annihilation. O Ammar! Obedience to Ali-asws is obedience to me-saww, and obedience to me-saww is the obedience to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.[136]

And by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim Al Farsy, from Abu Umar Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Asady the Isfahany judge, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Ali Al Asfarany, from Muhammad Bin Yusuf Bin Rashid Al Kufy, from his father, from Ali Bin Qadim, from Ata’a Bin Muslim, from Yahya Bin Kaseer who said,
رَأَيْتُ زَيْداً الأيامي [الْيَامِيَ] فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقُلْتُ إِلَى مَا صِرْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ إِلَى رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ عَمَلٍ وَجَدْتَ أَفْضَلَ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ وَ حُبُّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع.
‘I saw Zayd Al-Ayamy (Al-Yamany) in the dream and I said, ‘To what have you become, O Abu Abdul Rahman?’ He said, ‘To the Mercy of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’. I said, ‘So which deed did you find to be the most superior?’ He said, ‘The Salat and the love of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’’.[137]

And by this chain, from Muhammad Al Farsy, from Abu Zakariyya Al Dabeyri, from Abu Turab, from Abu Al Azhar Ahmad Bin Al Azhar, from Abdul Razzaq, from Al Bureyri, from Ubeydullah Bin Abdullah, from Ibn Abbas,
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص نَظَرَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ سَيِّدٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ سَيِّدٌ فِي الْآخِرَةِ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَحَبَّكَ وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ مِنْ بَعْدِي.
‘The Prophet-saww looked at Ali-asws and he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! You-asws are the chief in the world and the chief in the Hereafter. Beatitude is for the one who loves you-asws and woe is for the one who hates you-asws from after me-saww’’.[138]

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص: إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَضَّلَنِي بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ فَضَّلَ عَلِيّاً بِالْإِمَامَةِ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُزَوِّجَهُ ابْنَتِي فَهُوَ أَبُو وُلْدِي وَ غَاسِلُ جُثَّتِي وَ قَاضِي دَيْنِي وَ وَلِيُّهُ وَلِيِّي وَ عَدُوُّهُ عَدُوِّي.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Graced me-saww with the Prophet-hood and Graced Ali-asws with the Imamate, and Commanded me-saww that I-saww marry him-asws to my-saww daughter-asws. Thus, he-asws is the father-asws of my-saww (grand) children, and washer of my-saww body (for funeral), and fulfiller of my-saww debts, and his-asws friend is my-saww friend, and his-asws enemy is my-saww enemy’’.[139]
[قول النبى (ص) لعلي إنك لأفضل الخليقة بعدي و أنت وصيي و إمام أمتي من أطاعك أطاعني.]
The words of the Prophet-saww to Ali-asws: ‘You-asws are the most superior of the creation after me-saww and you-asws are my-saww successor-asws and Imam-asws of my-saww community. The one who obeys you-asws has obeyed me-saww’.

And by him, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Babuwayh, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Yahya, from Abu Bakr Bin Nafau, from Amayya Bin Khalid, from Hammad Bin Salama, from Ali Bin Zayd,
عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيٍّ ع عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ إِنَّكَ لَأَفْضَلُ الْخَلِيقَةِ بَعْدِي يَا عَلِيُّ أَنْتَ وَصِيِّي وَ إِمَامُ أُمَّتِي مَنْ أَطَاعَكَ أَطَاعَنِي وَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ عَصَانِي.
From Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard my-asws father-asws narrating from his-asws father Ali-asws, from the Prophet-saww that he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! By the One-azwj Whom Split the seed and Formed the person! You-asws are the most superior of the creation after me-saww. O Ali-asws! You-asws are my-saww successor-asws and Imam-asws of my-saww community. The one who obeys you-asws has obeyed me-saww and the one who disobeys you-asws has disobeyed me-saww’’.[140]
[أبيات لحسان بن ثابت (لا تقبل التوبة من تائب).]
The Poem of Al-Hassan Bin Sabit, ‘The repentance would not be Accepted from a repentant’.
وَ بِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْمَذْكُورُ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْعَدَوِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
And by him, from Muhammad Bin Al Qasim Al Farsy, from Abu Saeed Muhammad Bin Al Fazl Al Mazkuro, from Abdul Aziz Bin Abdullah Al Baghdady, from Abu Saeed Al Adawy, from Salamat Bin Shuayn, from Abdul Razzaq, from Ma’amar, from Al Zuhry, from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said, ‘
رَأَيْتُ حَسَّانَ وَاقِفاً بِمِنًى وَ النَّبِيَّ [وَ أَصْحَابَهُ] مُجْتَمِعِينَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَعَاشِرَ النَّاسِ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع سَيِّدُ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْوَصِيُّ الْأَكْبَرُ مَنْزِلَتُهُ مِنِّي مَنْزِلَةُ هَارُونَ مِنْ مُوسَى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي لَا تُقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةُ مِنْ تَائِبٍ إِلَّا بِحُبِّهِ يَا حَسَّانُ قُلْ فِينَا شَيْئاً
‘I saw Hassan paused at Mina, and the Prophet-saww (and his-saww companions) had gathered. The Prophet-saww said: ‘Group of people! This is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, chief of the Arabs and the greatest successor-asws. His-azwj status from me-saww is the status of Haroun-as from Musa-as except that there would be no Prophet-as after me-saww. The repentance would not be Accepted from a repentant except with having his-asws love. O Hassan! Say something regarding us-asws’.
فَأَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ:
| لَا تُقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةُ مِنْ تَائِبٍ | إِلَّا بِحُبِّ ابْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ | |
| أَخُو رَسُولِ اللَّهِ بَلْ صِهْرُهُ | وَ الصِّهْرُ لَا يَعْدِلُ بِالصَّاحِبِ | |
| وَ مَنْ يَكُنْ مِثْلَ عَلِيٍّ وَ قَدْ | رُدَّتْ لَهُ الشَّمْسُ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ | |
| رُدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فِي ضَوْئِهَا | بَيْضاً كَأَنَّ الشَّمْسَ لَمْ تَغْرُبْ |
So he recited a poem, ‘The repentance would not be accepted from a repentant except by having the love of the son-asws of Abu Talib-as, brother of Rasool-Allah-saww, but (also) his-saww son-in-law, and the son-in-law cannot be equated with the companion. And who can be like Ali-asws, and the sun returned for him-asws from the west. And the sun returned upon him-asws regarding its white illumination as if the sun had not set (at all)’.[141]

‘While I was in the market, Asbagh Bin Nubata came to me and he said, ‘Woe be to you, O Maysam! I have heard a Hadeeth from Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws which is intensely difficult, so where can we happen to be like that? I heard him-asws saying: ‘Our-asws Ahadeeth, of the People of the Household are difficult, becoming more difficult. None can bear it except for an Angel of Proximity, or a Messenger Prophet-as, or a servant whose heart Allah-azwj has Tested for the Eman’.

I immediately stood up and went over to Ali-asws and I said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! A Hadeeth which Al-Asbagh Bin Nubata informed me with, (reporting) from you-asws, I am constricted by it, and I am uneasy’. He-asws said: ‘And what is it?’ I informed him-asws, and he-asws smiled, then said: ‘Be seated, O Maysam! Or, is every knowledge borne by a scholar?’
إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنِّي جاعِلٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ خَلِيفَةً قالُوا أَ تَجْعَلُ فِيها مَنْ يُفْسِدُ فِيها وَ يَسْفِكُ الدِّماءَ وَ نَحْنُ نُسَبِّحُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ نُقَدِّسُ لَكَ قالَ إِنِّي أَعْلَمُ ما لا تَعْلَمُونَ فَهَلْ رَأَيْتَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ احْتَمَلُوا الْعِلْمَ قَالَتْ قُلْتُ هَذِهِ وَ اللَّهِ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ
Allah-azwj the Exalted Said to the Angels: And when your Lord said to the Angels: I am going to Make a Caliph in the earth. They said: Are You going to Make in it one who will make mischief therein and shed the blood, and we Glorify with Your Praise and we extol Your Holiness? He said: I Know what you do not know [2:30]. Do you see that the Angels were (not) bearing the knowledge?’ I said, ‘By Allah-azwj! This is greater than that’.
قَالَ وَ الْأُخْرَى أَنَّ مُوسَى ع أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ التَّوْرَاةَ فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَا أَحَدَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُ فَأَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنَّ فِي خَلْقِي مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ وَ ذَاكَ إِذْ خَافَ عَلَى نَبِيِّهِ الْعُجْبَ
He-asws said: ‘And another is Musa-as. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed the Torah unto him-as, so he-as thought that there is no one more knowledgeable than him-as. But, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Informed: “There is someone among My-azwj creatures who is more knowledgeable than you-as”, and that is because He-azwj Feared the self-conceitedness upon His-azwj Prophet-as.
قَالَ فَدَعَا رَبَّهُ أَنْ يُرْشِدَهُ إِلَى الْعَالِمِ قَالَ فَجَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْخَضِرِ فَخَرَقَ السَّفِينَةَ فَلَمْ يَحْتَمِلْ ذَاكَ مُوسَى وَ قَتَلَ الْغُلَامَ فَلَمْ يَحْتَمِلْهُ وَ أَقَامَ الْجِدَارَ فَلَمْ يَحْتَمِلْهُ
He-as called upon his-as Lord-azwj to Guide him-as to the scholar. Allah-azwj Gathered him-as with Al Khizr-as. He (Al-Khizr-as) punctured the ship, and Musa-as could not bear that. And he-as killed the boy and Musa-as could not bear that. And he-as straightened the wall, and he-as could not bear it.
وَ أَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَإِنَّ نَبِيَّنَا ص أَخَذَ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ بِيَدِي فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَإِنَّ عَلِيّاً مَوْلَاهُ فَهَلْ رَأَيْتَ احْتَمَلُوا ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ
And as for the Momineen, o our Prophet-saww grabbed me-asws by my-asws hand on the Day of Ghadeer khumm and he-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! The one whose Master I-saww was, so Ali-asws is his Master’. So, do you see them tolerating that, except for the one whom Allah-azwj Protected from them?
فَأَبْشِرُوا ثُمَّ أَبْشِرُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ خَصَّكُمْ بِمَا لَمْ يَخُصَّ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةَ وَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ فِيمَا احْتَمَلْتُمْ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ عِلْمِهِ.
Therefore, receive glad tidings, then receive glad tidings (again), for Allah-azwj has Particularised you all with what He-azwj did not Particularise the Angels with, and the Prophets-as, and the Messengers-as with regards to what you are bearing from the orders to Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww knowledge’’.[145]

From his father-asws Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn Bin Ali-asws, from his-asws father-asws Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws!

From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws, from Abu Barzat, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Covenanted to me-saww regarding Ali-asws’. I said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-saww! Explain it to me’. He-saww said: ‘He-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Said to me-saww: “Listen!” I-saww said: ‘I-saww am listening’.

He-azwj Said: “Ali-asws is the Flag of Guidance, and the Imam-asws of My-azwj friends, and the Light of the ones who obey Me-azwj, and he-asws is the Word which the pious are necessitating. The one who loves him-asws loves Me-azwj and the one who obeys him-asws obeys Me-azwj”’.[154]

From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj the Exalted Ascended His-azwj Prophet-saww, Said to him-saww: “O Muhammad-saww! You-asws have spent your-saww Prophet-hood and your-saww term (life-span) is to be cut. Who is there for your-saww for your-saww community from after you-saww?’

I-saww said: ‘O Lord-azwj! I-saww have scrutinised Your-azwj creatures but I-saww could not find any one more intensely loving to me-saww than Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’. He-azwj Said: “O Muhammad-saww! So deliver to him-asws that he-asws is the peak of the Guidance and the Imam-asws of My-azwj friends and the Light for the ones who obey Me-azwj”’.[155]

‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘By the One-azwj Who Splits the seed and forms the person! It is so that the Ummy Prophet-saww covenanted to me-asws: ‘None would love you-asws except for a Momin, nor would hate you-asws except for a hypocrite’, and even if I-asws were to strike the nose of the Momineen with this sword of mine-asws, they would not hate me-asws, ever; and if I-asws were to give the hypocrites like this and like this, they would not love me-asws, ever!’’[156]
