When he-asws grows up, a pillar of light is installed for him-asws, from the sky to the earth. He-asws sees by it, the deeds of the servant’.

And Yunus Bin Zabyan had an increase in it: ‘When he-asws comes out to the ground, he-asws is Given the wisdom and adorned with the forbearance, and the dignity, and Clothed the prestige, and lamp is Made to be for him-asws by which he-asws recognises the consciences and sees by it the deeds of the servants’.

And Al-Fazl, from Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘When he-asws falls to the ground, a light is shone for him-asws, from the sky to the earth. He-asws sees by it what is between the east and the west’’.[16]

The book ‘Al Mukhtasar’ of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman – It is reported from the book ‘Al Khatab’ of Abdul Aziz Bin Yahya Al Jaloudy who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws preached saying: ‘Ask me-asws before you lose me-asws, for I-asws am a container of Rasool-Allah-saww! Ask me-asws, for I-asws poke out the eye of the Fitna with its esoteric and it’s apparent. Ask the one-asws with whom is knowledge of the deaths and the afflictions and the bequests and the decisive address.
سَلُونِي فَأَنَا يَعْسُوبُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَقّاً وَ مَا مِنْ فِئَةٍ تَهْدِي مِائَةً أَوْ تُضِلُّ مِائَةً إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أُتِيتُ بِقَائِدِهَا وَ سَائِقِهَا وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ طُوِيَ لِي الْوِسَادَةُ فَأَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهَا لَقَضَيْتُ بَيْنَ أَهْلِ التَّوْرَاةِ بِتَوْرَاتِهِمْ وَ لِأَهْلِ الْإِنْجِيلِ بِإِنْجِيلِهِمْ وَ لِأَهْلِ الزَّبُورِ بِزَبُورِهِمْ وَ لِأَهْلِ الْفُرْقَانِ بِفُرْقَانِهِمْ
Ask me-asws, for I-asws am leader (Yasoob) of the Momineen-asws truly, and there is none from a group being guided reaching a hundred, or one hundred straying, and I-asws have been Given (knowledge of) its guides and its ushers. By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-asws soul! If the pillow were to be folded out for me, and I sit upon it, I-asws would judge between the people of Torah by their Torah, and the people of the Evangel by their Evangel, and the people of the Psalms by their Psalms, and the people of the Furqan (Quran) by their Furqan!’
قَالَ فَقَامَ ابْنُ الْكَوَّاءِ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ هُوَ يَخْطُبُ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ نَفْسِكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Ibn Al-Kawa stood up to Amir Al-Momineen-asws while he-asws was addressing the people, and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Inform me about yourself-asws’.
فَقَالَ وَيْلَكَ أَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ أُزَكِّيَ نَفْسِي وَ قَدْ نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ مَعَ أَنِّي كُنْتُ إِذَا سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَعْطَانِي وَ إِذَا سَكَتُّ ابْتَدَأَنِي وَ بَيْنَ الْجَوَانِحِ مِنِّي عِلْمٌ جَمٌّ وَ نَحْنُ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَا نُقَاسُ بِأَحَدٍ.
He-asws said: ‘Woe be unto you! Do you want me-asws to purify (praise) myself-asws and Allah-azwj has Forbidden from that, along with it, I-asws, when I-asws asked Rasool-Allah-saww, he-saww gave me-asws, and when I-asws was silent, he-saww initiated me-asws, and between the two wings (shoulders) of mine-asws, there is immense knowledge, and we-asws, People-asws of the Household cannot be compared with anyone’’.[56]
41- وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ لِلْجَلُودِيِّ، مِنْ جُمْلَةِ خُطْبَةٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ سَلُونِي قَبْلَ أَنْ تَفْقِدُونِي أَنَا يَعْسُوبُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ غَايَةُ السَّابِقِينَ وَ لِسَانُ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ خَاتَمُ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ خَلِيفَةُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَنَا قَسِيمُ النَّارِ أَنَا صَاحِبُ الْجِنَانِ أَنَا صَاحِبُ الْأَعْرَافِ أَنَا صَاحِبُ الْحَوْضِ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنَّا إِمَامٌ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ عَارِفٌ بِجَمِيعِ وَلَايَتِهِ وَ أَنَا الْهَادِي بِالْوَلَايَةِ.
And from the mentioned book of Al-Jaloudy, from a summary of his-asws sermon: ‘O you people! Ask me-asws before you lose me-asws! I-asws am leader (Yasoob) of the Momineen, and peak of the foremost ones, and tongue of the pious, and last of the successors-asws, and Caliph of Lord-azwj of the worlds. I-asws am distributor of the Fire, I-asws am Master of the Gardens, I-asws am Master of the Heights, I-asws am Master of the Fountain. There is no Imam-asws from us except and he-asws is recognised with the entirety of his-asws Wilayah, and I-asws am the guide with the Wilayah’’.[57]

And from the book ‘Al Qaim-asws’ of Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from Salih Bin Hamza, from Al Hassan Bin Abdullah,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said upon the pulpit of Al-Kufa: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws will be the judge of the people of the Day of the Religion (Qiyamah), and Distributor (on behalf of) Allah-azwj between the Paradise and the Fire. None will enter it except one of my-asws distributions, and I-asws am the great distinguisher and pair from iron, and door of Eman, and owner of the branding iron, and Master of the years.
وَ أَنَا صَاحِبُ النَّشْرِ الْأَوَّلِ وَ النَّشْرِ الْآخِرِ وَ صَاحِبُ الْقَضَاءِ وَ صَاحِبُ الْكَرَّاتِ وَ دَوْلَةِ الدُّوَلِ وَ أَنَا إِمَامٌ لِمَنْ بَعْدِي وَ الْمُؤَدِّي مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلِي مَا يَتَقَدَّمُنِي إِلَّا أَحْمَدُ ص وَ إِنَّ جَمِيعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّسُلِ وَ الرُّوحَ خَلْفَنَا وَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَيُدْعَى فَيَنْطِقُ وَ أُدْعَى فَأَنْطِقُ عَلَى حَدِّ مَنْطِقِهِ
And I-asws am Master of the first resurrection and the last resurrection, and Master of the judges, and Master of the Return (Raj’at), and government of the governments, and I-asws am Imam-asws of the ones after me-asws, and the fulfiller of the ones who were before me-asws. None precedes me-asws except Ahmad-saww and the entirety of the Angels and the rasools and the (Holy) Spirit are behind us-asws. And Rasool-Allah-saww called (the people) so he-saww spoke, and I-asws called, so I-asws spoke upon a limit of his-saww talk.
وَ لَقَدْ أُعْطِيتُ السَّبْعَ الَّتِي لَمْ يَسْبِقْ إِلَيْهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي بَصُرْتُ سُبُلَ الْكِتَابِ وَ فُتِحَتْ لِيَ الْأَسْبَابُ وَ عُلِّمْتُ الْأَنْسَابَ وَ مَجْرَى الْحِسَابِ وَ عُلِّمْتُ الْمَنَايَا وَ الْبَلَايَا وَ الْوَصَايَا وَ فَصْلَ الْخِطَابِ
And I-asws have been Given the seven (thing) which no one before me-asws has preceded me-asws to it – Insight of the ways of the Book, and the causes are opened for me-asws, and I-asws know the lineages and flow of the reckoning, and I-asws know the deaths and the afflictions and the bequests and the decisive address.
وَ نَظَرْتُ فِي الْمَلَكُوتِ فَلَمْ يَعْزُبْ عَنِّي شَيْءٌ غَابَ عَنِّي وَ لَمْ يَفُتْنِي مَا سَبَقَنِي وَ لَمْ يَشْرَكْنِي أَحَدٌ فِيمَا أَشْهَدَنِي يَوْمَ شَهَادَةِ الْأَشْهَادِ وَ أَنَا الشَّاهِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى يَدِي يَتِمُّ مَوْعِدُ اللَّهِ وَ تَكْمُلُ كَلِمَتُهُ وَ بِي يَكْمُلُ الدِّينُ وَ أَنَا النِّعْمَةُ الَّتِي أَنْعَمَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ أَنَا الْإِسْلَامُ الَّذِي ارْتَضَاهُ لِنَفْسِهِ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَنِّ اللَّهِ.
And I-asws looked among the kingdom and nothing was distant from me-asws being hidden from me-asws, and what has preceded me-asws is not lost from me-asws, and no one participates with me-asws in what I-asws shall be witnessed of the Day of witnessing (Qiyamah) of the witnesses, and I-asws am the witness upon them, and upon my-asws hands the Promise of Allah-azwj would be Completed and His-azwj Word would be perfected, and by me-asws the Religion is perfected, and I-asws am the Favour which Allah-azwj Favoured upon His-azwj creatures, and I-asws am the Islam which He-azwj is Pleased with Himself-azwj. All that is from the Conferment of Allah-azwj’’.[58]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Al-Bursy said in (the book) ‘Mashariq Al-Anwaar’, ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to Rumeyla, and he was ill and afflicted, and he was from the special ones of his-asws Shias: ‘You were ill, O Rumeyla, then you saw lightness so you came to the Salat’. He said, ‘Yes, O my Master-asws, and what made you realise?’

He-asws said: ‘There is no Momin nor a Momina (female Momin) falling sick except we-asws fall ill along with to his illness, nor grieve, except we-asws grieve to his grief, nor supplicate except we-asws say: ‘Ameen’ to his supplication, nor be silent except we-asws supplicate for him; and there is no Momin or Momina in the easts or the wests except and we-asws are with him’’.[59]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘It is in (the book) ‘Al-Jafr’ that when Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Revealed the Tablets of Musa-as, Revealed unto him-as, and in it was explanation of all things, and it will exist up to the establishment of the Hour’.
فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُ مُوسَى أَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اسْتَوْدِعِ الْأَلْوَاحَ وَ هِيَ زَبَرْجَدَةٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَبَلَ فَأَتَى مُوسَى الْجَبَلَ فَانْشَقَّ لَهُ الْجَبَلُ فَجَعَلَ فِيهِ الْأَلْوَاحَ مَلْفُوفَةً فَلَمَّا جَعَلَهَا فِيهِ انْطَبَقَ الْجَبَلُ عَلَيْهَا فَلَمْ تَزَلْ فِي الْجَبَلِ حَتَّى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيَّهُ مُحَمَّداً ص
When the days of Musa-as expired, Allah-azwj Revealed to him-as that he-as should entrust the Tablets, and these were aquamarine from the Paradise, to be in a mountain. Musa-as came to the mountain and the mountain split for him, and he-as made the Tablets to be in it, wrapped. When he-as placed these in it, the mountain layered upon it, and these did not cease to be in the mountain until Allah-azwj Sent His-azwj Prophet-as Muhammad-saww.

Riders came from Al-Yemen intending the Prophet-as. When they ended up to the mountain, it cleft asunder and the Tablets came out wrapped just as Musa-as had placed these. The group took these. When it fell into their hands, it was cast into their hearts that they should not look into these and they were awed by it until they came with it to Rasool-Allah-saww; and Allah-azwj Sent does Jibraeel-as unto His-azwj Prophet-saww and informed him-saww with the affair of the group and that which they had attained.

When they arrived to the Prophet-saww, the Prophet-saww initiated them and asked them about what they had found. They said, ‘And what made you-saww know with what we have found?’ He-saww said: ‘My-saww Lord-azwj Informed me-saww with it, and these are the Tablets’. They said, ‘We testify that you-saww are a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj’.

They handed it to him-saww. He-saww looked into these and read it and its writing was in Hebrew. Then he-saww called Amir Al-Momineen-asws and said: ‘Be careful with these for therein is knowledge of the former ones and knowledge of the latter ones, and these are Tablets of Musa-as, and my-saww Lord-azwj has Commanded me-as that I-saww should hand these over to you-asws’.

He (Abu Abdullah-asws) said: ‘He-asws made these to be beneath his-asws head, and in the morning Allah-azwj had Taught him-asws all things therein and Rasool-Allah-saww instructed him-asws to make a copy of it. He-asws copied it in a sheep skin, and it is (the book) ‘Al-Jafr’, and in it is knowledge of the former ones and the latter ones, and it is with us-asws, and the Tablets, and the Staff of Musa-as are with us-asws, and we-asws inherited the Prophet-saww’’.

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Musa Bin Sa’dan, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Sabbah Al Muzny, from Al Haris Bin Haseyra, from Habbas Al Arny who said,
‘I heard Amir Al-Momineen-asws saying: ‘Yoshua Bin Noon-as was successor of Musa-as Bin Imran-as, and the Tablets of Musa-as were from green aquamarine. When Musa-as was angry, he-as threw the Tablets from his-as hand. From these is what broke, and from these is what remained, and from these is what was Raised.
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ مُوسَى الْغَضَبُ قَالَ يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ أَ عِنْدَكَ تِبْيَانُ مَا فِي الْأَلْوَاحِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَتَوَارَثُهَا رَهْطٌ مِنْ بَعْدِ رَهْطٍ حَتَّى وَقَعَتْ فِي أَيْدِي أَرْبَعَةِ رَهْطٍ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مُحَمَّداً ص بِتِهَامَةَ وَ بَلَغَهُمُ الْخَبَرُ
When the anger subsided from Musa-as, Yoshua Bin Noon-as said. ‘Is there any explanation with you-as of what was in the Tablets?’ He-as said: ‘Yes’. Thus, these did not cease to be inherited by a group after a group, until it fell into the hands of a group of four from Al-Yemen, and Allah-azwj Sent Muhammad-saww at Tahama, and the news reached them.

They said, ‘What is this Prophet-saww saying?’ It was said, ‘He-saww forbids from the wine and the adultery, and he-saww instructs with the good mannerisms and honour the neighbours’. They said, ‘This is the first of what is in our hands, from us, so we shall co-inside in going to him-saww in such and such month’.

Allah-azwj Revealed to Jibraeel-as to go to the Prophet-saww and inform him-saww. He-as came to him and said: ‘So and so, and so and so have inherited the Tablets of Musa-as, and they are coming to you-as in such and such month, during such and such night, so hold vigil for them on that night’.

‘I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan-asws when thirty slaves from Ethiopia entered to see him-asws, and they had been bought for him-asws. A slave from them spoke, and he was from Ethiopia, handsome. He-asws spoke to him in his language for a while until he had all what he wanted and he-asws gave him (some) Dirhams. He-asws said: ‘Give these companions of yours, each one from them, every crescent (month), thirty Dirhams’. Then they went out.

I saw you speak to this slave in Ethiopian slave, so what is that did you-asws order him with?’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws ordered him-asws to recommend goodly with his companions, and gave them thirty Dirhams during every crescent, and that is because when I-asws looked at him, I-asws knew that he was an intellectual boy from the sons of their masters. So, I-asws advised him with the entirety of what he could be needy to. He accepted my-asws advice, and there was sincerity with this boy’.

Then he-asws said: ‘Perhaps you are wondering from my-asws speaking to him in the Ethiopian? Do not wonder. Whatever is hidden from you of the matters of the Imam-asws is more wondrous and more. This is nothing from the Imam-asws regarding his-asws knowledge except like a bird taking from the ocean a drop of water. Do you see that which it takes with its beak reduces anything from the ocean?’

He (Sadeyr) said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘Do you not read the Quran?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Did you find among what you read from the Book of Allah-azwj: The one with whom was the knowledge from the Book said, ‘I will come to you with it before your glance returns to you’. [27:40]?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I have read it’.

He-asws said: ‘Do you recognise the man and do you know what was with him from the knowledge of the Book?’ I said, ‘Inform me and I shall understand’. He-asws said: ‘A drop of snow in the green ocean of what can happen to be from the knowledge of the Book’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! How little this is!’
قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا سَدِيرُ مَا أَكْثَرَ هَذَا لِمَنْ يَنْسُبُهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْعِلْمِ الَّذِي أُخْبِرُكَ بِهِ يَا سَدِيرُ فَهَلْ وَجَدْتَ فِيمَا قَرَأْتَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ قُلْ كَفى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتابِ قَالَ قُلْتُ قَدْ قَرَأْتُهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
He (Sadeyr) said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘How abundant this is for one Allah-azwj Attributed him to the knowledge. I shall inform you with it, O Sadeyr! Have you found among what you have read from the Book of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Say: Allah is Sufficient as a Witness between me and you and the one who has Knowledge of the Book [13:43]?’ I said, ‘I have read it, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’
قَالَ فَمَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْكِتابِ أَفْهَمُ أَمْ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتابِ قَالَ لَا بَلْ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ كُلُّهُ قَالَ فَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ وَ قَالَ عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ وَ اللَّهِ كُلُّهُ عِنْدَنَا عِلْمُ الْكِتَابِ وَ اللَّهِ كُلُّهُ عِنْدَنَا.
He-asws said: ‘So is the one with whom is knowledge from the Book more understanding or one with whom is knowledge of the Book?’ He (I) said, ‘No, but one with whom is knowledge of the Book, all of it’. So, he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws chest and said: ‘Knowledge of Book, by Allah-azwj, all of it is with us-asws! Knowledge of Book, by Allah-azwj, all of it is with us-asws!’’[176]

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzeyl, from Al Sumali,
‘From Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Do the Imams-asws know what is in the consciences?’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws know, by Allah-azwj, what the Prophets-as knew and the Rasool-saww’.

(The book) ‘Al Kharaij Wa Al Jaraih’ – It is reported by Sa’ad, from Muhammad in Yahya, from Ameyd Bin Ma’mar, from Abdullah Bin Al Waleed Al Samman who said,
‘Al-Baqir-asws said: ‘O Abdullah-asws! What are you saying regarding Ali-asws and Musa-as and Isa-as?’ I said, ‘What should I be saying?’ He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! He-asws is more knowledgeable than both of them-as’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ لَسْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ إِنَّ لِعَلِيٍّ مَا لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنَ الْعِلْمِ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ وَ النَّاسُ يُنْكِرُونَ قَالَ فَخَاصِمْهُمْ فِيهِ بِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى لِمُوسَى وَ كَتَبْنا لَهُ فِي الْأَلْواحِ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَعَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكْتُبْ لَهُ الشَّيْءَ كُلَّهُ
Then he-asws said: ‘Are you all saying that for Ali-asws is what is for Rasool-Allah-saww, from the knowledge?’ We said, ‘Yes, and the people are denying it’. He-asws said: ‘Then dispute them regarding it by the Words of the Exalted to Musa-as: And We Prescribed to him in the Tablets, Advice from all things [7:145]. So, we know that He-azwj did not Prescribe to him all of the things.
وَ قَالَ لِعِيسَى وَ لِأُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْ بَعْضَ الَّذِي تَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ فَعَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَهُ الْأَمْرَ كُلَّهُ وَ قَالَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ جِئْنا بِكَ عَلى هؤُلاءِ شَهِيداً وَ نَزَّلْنا عَلَيْكَ الْكِتابَ تِبْياناً لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ
And He-azwj Said to Isa-as: and to clarify for you part of which you are differing in, [43:63]. So we know that He-azwj did not Clarify for him all of the matters. And He-azwj Said to Muhammad-saww: and We shall Come with you as a witness upon these (witnesses). And We Revealed the Book unto you as a clarification of all things, [16:89]’.
وَ سُئِلَ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ قُلْ كَفى بِاللَّهِ شَهِيداً بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ الْكِتابِ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِيَّانَا عَنَى وَ عَلِيٌّ أَوَّلُنَا وَ أَفْضَلُنَا وَ خَيْرُنَا بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And he (the narrator) asked about His-azwj Words: Say: Allah is Sufficient as a Witness between me and you and the one who has Knowledge of the Book [13:43]. He-asws said; ‘By Allah-azwj! He-azwj Means us-asws, and Ali-asws is our-asws first one and most superior of us-asws, and our-asws best after Rasool-Allah-saww’.
وَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْعِلْمَ الَّذِي نَزَلَ مَعَ آدَمَ عَلَى حَالِهِ وَ لَيْسَ يَمْضِي مِنَّا عَالِمٌ إِلَّا خَلَّفَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ عِلْمَهُ وَ الْعِلْمُ يُتَوَارَثُ.
And he-asws said: ‘The knowledge which descended with Adam-as is upon its (original) state, and no scholar-asws from us-asws passes away except he-asws leaves behind one-asws who know his-asws knowledge, and the knowledge is inherited’’.[178]

Kitab ‘Al Mukhtasar’ of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman, copying from Kitab ‘Al Arbaeen’ – A report of Sa’ad Al Arbily, from Ammar Bin Khalid, from Is’haq Al Arzaq, from Abdul Malik Bin Suleyman who said,
‘It was found in the hoard (treasured) of one of the disciples of the Messiah-as, a parchment written by the Assyrian pen, copying from the Torah, and what is when Musa-as and Al-Khizr-as quarrelled regarding the issue of the ship, and the boy, and the wall, and Musa-as returned to his-as people, his-as brother-as asked him-as about what he-as utilised from Al-Khizr-as regarding the ship, and witnessing from the wonders of the sea.
قَالَ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا وَ الْخَضِرُ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ إِذْ سَقَطَ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا طَائِرٌ أَخَذَ فِي مِنْقَارِهِ قَطْرَةً مِنْ مَاءِ الْبَحْرِ وَ رَمَى بِهَا نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ثَانِيَةً وَ رَمَى بِهَا نَحْوَ الْمَغْرِبِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ ثَالِثَةً وَ رَمَى بِهَا نَحْوَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ رَابِعَةً وَ رَمَى بِهَا نَحْوَ الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ خَامِسَةً وَ أَلْقَاهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ فَبُهِتَ الْخَضِرُ وَ أَنَا
He (Musa-as) said: ‘While I-as and Al-Khizr-as were upon the coast of the sea, when a bird fell (came down) in front of us. It took in its beak a drop of water of the sea and threw it around the east, then it took a second and threw it around the west, then it took a third and threw it around the sky, then it took a fourth and threw it around the ground, then it took a fifth and cast it (back) in the sea. So Al-Khizr-as and I-as descended.
قَالَ مُوسَى فَسَأَلْتُ الْخَضِرَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يُجِبْ وَ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِصَيَّادٍ يَصْطَادُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْنَا وَ قَالَ مَا لِي أَرَاكُمَا فِي فِكْرٍ وَ تَعَجُّبٍ فَقُلْنَا فِي أَمْرِ الطَّائِرِ فَقَالَ أَنَا رَجُلٌ صَيَّادٌ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ إِشَارَتَهُ وَ أَنْتُمَا نَبِيَّانِ لَا تَعْلَمَانِ قُلْنَا مَا نَعْلَمُ إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمَنَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
Musa-as said: ‘I-as asked Al Khizr-as about that, but he-as did not answer, and there we-as were by a fisherman fishing. He looked at us-as and said: ‘What is the matter I see you-as both in thought and wondering?’ We-as said: ‘Regarding the matter of the bird’. He said, ‘I am a fisherman and I have known its gestures and you-as two are Prophets-as, not knowing’. We-as said: ‘We-as do not know except what Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Teaches us-as’.
قَالَ هَذَا طَائِرٌ فِي الْبَحْرِ يُسَمَّى مسلم لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا صَاحَ يَقُولُ فِي صِيَاحِهِ مسلم وَ أَشَارَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَى أَنَّهُ يَأْتِي فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ نَبِيٌّ يَكُونُ عِلْمُ أَهْلِ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ عِنْدَ عِلْمِهِ مِثْلَ هَذِهِ الْقَطْرَةِ الْمُلْقَاةِ فِي الْبَحْرِ وَ يَرِثُ عِلْمَهُ ابْنُ عَمِّهِ وَ وَصِيُّهُ
He said, ‘This bird in the sea is called ‘Muslim’ because when it shouts, it says in its shouting, ‘Muslim’, and indicated by that to that there will be coming at the end of times, a Prophet-saww having knowledge of the people of the east and the west and the sky and the earth. Your-as knowledge compared to his-saww knowledge is like this drop cast in the sea, and the son-asws of his-saww brother-as and his-saww successor-asws would inherit his-saww knowledge’.
فَسَكَنَ مَا كُنَّا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمُشَاجَرَةِ وَ اسْتَقَلَّ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا عِلْمَهُ بَعْدَ أَنْ كُنَّا بِهِ مُعْجَبِينَ وَ مَشَيْنَا ثُمَّ غَابَ الصَّيَّادُ عَنَّا فَعَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ مَلَكٌ بَعَثَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْنَا يُعَرِّفُنَا بِنَقْصِنَا حَيْثُ ادَّعَيْنَا الْكَمَالَ.
So the quarrelling what we were in was settled, and each one of us-as considered little afterwards, what we-as had been astounded with, and we-as walked away. Then the fisherman disappeared from us and we-as knew that it was an Angel of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Sent him to us-as to make us-as recognise our deficiencies when we-as claiming the perfection’’.[180]

And from the book of Al Seyyid Hassan Bin Kabash, raising it to Kaseer Bin Abu Imran,
‘From Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘Musa-as had asked the scholar (Al-Khizr-as) a question. There did not happen to be an answer with him-as, and if I-asws had been present with them-as, I-asws would have informed each one of them-as with its answer, and would have asked them a question, there would not have been with them-as any answer regarding it’’.[181]

(The books) ‘Al Irshad’ (and) ‘Al Ihtijaj’ – Muawiya Bin Wahab, from Saeed Al Samman who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws when two men from the Zaydiites entered to see him-asws. They said to him-asws, ‘Is there an Imam-asws of Obligatory obedience among you?’ He-asws said: ‘No’. They said to him-asws, ‘And the reliable ones have informed us from you-asws that you-asws were speaking with it, and they named a group and they said, ‘They are people of devoutness and seriousness, and they are from the ones who do not lie’.
فَغَضِبَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ قَالَ مَا أَمَرْتُهُمْ بِهَذَا فَلَمَّا رَأَيَا الْغَضَبَ بِوَجْهِهِ خَرَجَا فَقَالَ لِي تَعْرِفُ هَذَيْنِ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ هُمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ سُوقِنَا وَ هُمَا مِنَ الزَّيْدِيَّةِ وَ هُمَا يَزْعُمَانِ أَنَّ سَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ
Abu Abdullah-asws was angered and said: ‘I-asws did not instruct them with this!’ When they saw the anger in his-asws face, they went out. He-asws said to me: ‘Do you recognise these two?’ I said, ‘Yes, they are from the people of our markets and they are from the Zaydiites, and they are claiming that the Sword of Rasool-Allah-saww is with Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan’.
فَقَالَ كَذَبَا لَعَنَهُمَا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَآهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بِعَيْنَيْهِ وَ لَا بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ عَيْنَيْهِ وَ لَا رَآهُ أَبُوهُ اللَّهُمَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ رَآهُ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فَإِنْ كَانَا صَادِقَيْنِ فَمَا عَلَامَةٌ فِي مَقْبِضِهِ وَ مَا أَثَرٌ فِي مَوْضِعِ مَضْرَبِهِ
He-asws said: ‘They are lying, may Allah-azwj Curse them! By Allah-azwj! Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan has neither seen it with his eyes, nor with even one of this eyes, nor had his father seen it. O Allah-azwj! It only happened to be with Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws. If they were truthful, so what is the mark on its handle, and what is the impact in the place of its striking?
وَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي لَسَيْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ إِنَّ عِنْدِي لَرَايَةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ دِرْعَهُ وَ لَأْمَتَهُ وَ مِغْفَرَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَا صَادِقَيْنِ فَمَا عَلَامَةٌ فِي دِرْعِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And surely with me-asws is the sword of Rasool-Allah-saww, and with me-asws is the flag of Rasool-Allah-saww, and his-saww armour, and his-as shield and his-saww helmet. If they were truthful, so what is the marking in the armour of Rasool-Allah-saww?

When he-asws saw me, he-asws said: ‘How are you, O Abu Al-Miqdam?’ I said, ‘Good, may I be sacrificed for you-asws!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O daughter of Rasool-Allah-saww! Something from the traces of Rasool-Allah-saww’. So she called her children and five of them came. She said, ‘O Abu Al-Miqdam! They are flesh of Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww blood’. And she showed me a basin wherein was something kneaded and its legs were of iron. She said, ‘This is the basin which was gifted to Rasool-Allah-saww, filled with meat and porridge’. I took it and wiped it (for Blessings)’’.[208]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Do you know what was the shirt of Yusuf-as?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘Ibrahim-as, when the fire was inflamed for him-as, Jibraeel-as came over to him-as with a cloth from the clothes of the Paradise. So, he-as wore it, and with it, the heat and the cold did not harm him-as.
فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمَوْتُ جَعَلَهُ فِي تَمِيمَةٍ وَ عَلَّقَهُ عَلَى إِسْحَاقَ وَ عَلَّقَهُ إِسْحَاقُ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ فَلَمَّا وُلِدَ لِيَعْقُوبَ يُوسُفُ عَلَّقَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَكَانَ فِي عَضُدِهِ حَتَّى كَانَ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ مَا كَانَ فَلَمَّا أَخْرَجَ يُوسُفُ الْقَمِيصَ مِنَ التَّمِيمَةِ وَجَدَ يَعْقُوبُ رِيحَهُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ لَوْ لا أَنْ تُفَنِّدُونِ فَهُوَ ذَلِكَ الْقَمِيصُ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ بِهِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ
So when the death presented itself to Ibrahim-as, he-as made it to be in an amulet and hung it upon Is’haq-as, and Is’haq-as hung it upon Yaqoub-as. So when Yusuf-as was born, he-as hung it upon him-as. Thus, it was on his-as shoulder until it was from his-as affair which was. So when Yusuf-as took it out from the amulet in Egypt, Yaqoub-as found its smell, and these are his-as words: ‘Surely I find the aroma of Yusuf, unless you deem me to be weak minded’ [12:94]. So it was that shirt which Allah-azwj Sent down from the Paradise’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَإِلَى مَنْ صَارَ هَذَا الْقَمِيصُ قَالَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ وَرِثَ عِلْماً أَوْ غَيْرَهُ فَقَدِ انْتَهَى إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! So to whom has that shirt come to be?’ He-asws said: ‘To its rightful ones’. Then he-asws said: ‘Every Prophet-as inherited knowledge or something else, so it has ended up to the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’’.[209]

‘Among what Al-Reza-asws wrote to him regarding the (Imamate) stopping at his-asws father-asws: ‘As for Ibn Abu Hamza, so he is a man interpreting interpretations. He was not good at it and was not given its knowledge, and he cast it to the people. He split in it and disliked to belie himself in the invalidation of his words by the Ahadeeth. He interpreted it and was not good at interpreting it and was not given its knowledge and he views that when my-asws forefathers-asws were not verified with that, he-asws did not know, perhaps what he-asws informed him about the likes of Al-Sufyani and others, that nothing from it would happen.

But his knowledge is deficient about the peak of that and its realities, so the Fitna came to him and he doubted upon it and fled from a matter, and he fell into it’.

Isn’t it in their hands that Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When something is said regarding the person and it does not happen in him, then it would happen in his children from after him, for it would have been regarding him’’.[232]
4- فس، تفسير القمي أَبِي عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ رِئَابٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنْ قُلْنَا لَكُمْ فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنَّا قَوْلًا فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ وَ كَانَ فِي وَلَدِهِ أَوْ وَلَدِ وَلَدِهِ فَلَا تُنْكِرُوا ذَلِكَ
Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Riab, from Abu Baseer,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘If we-asws were to say a word to you all regarding the man from us-asws and it does not happen regarding him-asws, and it would happened in his-asws son-asws, or son-asws of his-asws son-asws, therefore do not be denying that.
إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَوْحَى إِلَى عِمْرَانَ أَنِّي وَاهِبٌ لَكَ ذَكَراً مُبَارَكاً يُبْرِئُ الْأَكْمَهَ وَ الْأَبْرَصَ وَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى بِإِذْنِي وَ جَاعِلُهُ رَسُولًا إِلَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
Surely Allah-azwj Revealed to Imran-as: “I-azwj shall Grant a Blessed male for you-as. He-as would cure the blindness, and the leprosy, and revive the dead by My-azwj Permission, and Make him-as a Rasool-as to the children of Israel!”
فَحَدَّثَ امْرَأَتَهُ حَنَّةَ بِذَلِكَ وَ هِيَ أُمُّ مَرْيَمَ فَلَمَّا حَمَلَتْ بِهَا كَانَ حَمْلُهَا عِنْدَ نَفْسِهَا غُلَاماً فَلَمَّا وَضَعَتْها أُنْثَى قالَتْ رَبِّ إِنِّي وَضَعْتُها أُنْثى وَ لَيْسَ الذَّكَرُ كَالْأُنْثى الِابْنَةُ لَا تَكُونُ رَسُولًا يَقُولُ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِما وَضَعَتْ
His-as wife narrated it to Hanah-as, and she-as is the mother of Maryam-as. When she-as was pregnant with it, her-as pregnancy in her own self was a boy, So when she placed (gave birth to) it, – as a female, she said: ‘My Lord! Surely I have placed a female’ [3:36],(meaning) the daughter cannot happen to be a Rasool-as. Allah-azwj Said: and Allah was more Knowing of what she placed [3:36].
فَلَمَّا وَهَبَ اللَّهُ لِمَرْيَمَ عِيسَى كَانَ هُوَ الَّذِي بَشَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ عِمْرَانَ وَ وَعَدَهُ إِيَّاهُ فَإِذَا قُلْنَا لَكُمْ فِي الرَّجُلِ مِنَّا شَيْئاً وَ كَانَ فِي وَلَدِهِ أَوْ وَلَدِ وَلَدِهِ فَلَا تُنْكِرُوا ذَلِكَ.
When Allah-azwj Granted Isa-as to Maryam-as, he-as was the one which Allah-azwj had Given glad tidings to Imran-as with, and had Promised him-as. So, whenever we-asws say something to you all regarding a man from us-asws, and it happens in his-asws son-asws, or son-asws of his-asws son-asws, so do not be denying that’’.[233]

(The book) ‘Qasas Al Anbiya’, by the chain to Al Sadouq, by his chain from Ibn Awrama, from Muhammad Bin Abu Salih, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Talha said,
‘I said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘Did the Messengers-as of Allah-azwj come with something, then came with its opposite?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ إِنْ شِئْتَ حَدَّثْتُكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى جَلَّتْ عَظَمَتُهُ ادْخُلُوا الْأَرْضَ الْمُقَدَّسَةَ الَّتِي كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ الْآيَةَ فَمَا دَخَلُوهَا وَ دَخَلَ أَبْنَاءُ أَبْنَائِهِمْ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, if you so like I-asws shall narrated to you, and if you like I-asws can come with it from the Book of Allah-azwj the Exalted. Allah-azwj the Exalted, Majestic is His-azwj Magnificence Said: Enter the Holy land which Allah has Prescribed for you [5:21] – the Verse. They did not enter it, and the sons of their sons entered it.
وَ قَالَ عِمْرَانُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَعَدَنِي أَنْ يَهَبَ لِي غُلَاماً نَبِيّاً فِي سَنَتِي هَذِهِ وَ شَهْرِي هَذَا ثُمَّ غَابَ وَ وَلَدَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ مَرْيَمَ وَ كَفَّلَها زَكَرِيَّا
And Imran-as said: ‘Surely, Allah-azwj has Promised me-as that He-azwj will Grant a boy to me-as, a Prophet-as, during this year of mine and this month of mine’. Then he-as was absent and his-as wife gave birth to Maryam-as, and Zakariyya was in-charge of her [3:37].
فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ صَدَقَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ وَ قَالَتِ الْآخَرُونَ كَذَبَ فَلَمَّا وَلَدَتْ مَرْيَمُ عِيسَى قَالَتِ الطَّائِفَةُ الَّتِي أَقَامَتْ عَلَى صِدْقِ عِمْرَانَ هَذَا الَّذِي وَعَدَنَا اللَّهُ.
A group said, ‘The Prophet-as of Allah-azwj spoke the truth’, and others said, ‘He-as lied’. When Mayram-as gave birth to Isa-as, the group which had stood upon the truthfulness of Imran-as, said, ‘This is which Allah-azwj had Promised us’’.[234]

And one who writes one merit from his-asws merits, the Angels would not cease seeking Forgiveness for him for as long as writing of that that book remains; and one who listens to one merit from his-asws merits, Allah-azwj would Forgive for him the sins which he had amassed by the hearing; and one who looks at the writing of his-asws merits, Allah-azwj would Forgive for him the sins which he had amassed by the looking’.

1- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقْناكُمْ وَ اشْكُرُوا لِلَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws): O you those who are believing! Eat from the good (things) what We Provided you (with), and give thanks to Allah if it is Him you are worshipping [2:172]
إِنَّما حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَ ما أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَيْرَ باغٍ وَ لا عادٍ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ
But rather, (it is) Prohibited upon you, the dead, and the blood, and flesh of the swine, and whatever is dedicated with for other than Allah. But the one who is desperate, without coveting nor transgressing, so there is no sin upon him. Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [2:173].
قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِتَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ وَ نُبُوَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ بِإِمَامَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّ اللَّهِ كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّباتِ ما رَزَقْناكُمْ وَ اشْكُرُوا لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَكُمْ مِنْهَا بِالْمُقَامِ عَلَى وَلَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ
The Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: O you those who are believing! – in the Tawheed (Oneness) of Allah-azwj, and Prophet-hood of Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and in the Imamate of Ali-asws, Guardian of Allah-azwj, Eat from the good (things) what We Provided you (with), and give thanks to Allah – Upon what He-azwj Provided you from it, with the staying upon the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws.
لِيَقِيَكُمُ اللَّهُ بِذَلِكَ شُرُورَ الشَّيَاطِينِ الْمَرَدَةِ عَلَى رَبِّهِمَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّكُمْ كُلَّمَا جَدَّدْتُمْ عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَايَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ تُجَدِّدُ عَلَى مَرَدَةِ الشَّيَاطِينِ لَعَائِنُ اللَّهِ وَ أَعَاذَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَفَخَاتِهِمْ وَ نَفَثَاتِهِمْ
Allah-azwj the Exalted has Protected you all with that (from) the evils of Satans-la, the renegades upon their-la Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Therefore, every time you all renew upon yourselves the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, you should renew upon the renegade Satans-la, the Curses of Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj will Shelter you from their-la blowing(s) and their-la puffing(s).
فَلَمَّا قَالَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ مَا نَفَخَاتُهُمْ قَالَ هِيَ مَا يَنْفُخُونَ بِهِ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ فِي الْإِنْسَانِ الَّذِي يَحْمِلُونَهُ عَلَى هَلَاكِهِ فِي دِينِهِ وَ دُنْيَاهُ وَ قَدْ يَنْفُخُونَ فِي غَيْرِ حَالِ الْغَضَبِ بِمَا يَهْلِكُونَ بِهِ
So when Rasool-Allah-saww said it, it was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! And what are their blowing(s)?’ He-saww said: ‘It is what they-la are blowing with during the anger in the human being which carries him upon his destruction in his Religion and his world, and they-la (also) have blown during other than the state of anger with what they-la are destroying him with.
أَ تَدْرُونَ مَا أَشَدُّ مَا يَنْفُخُونَ بِهِ هُوَ مَا يَنْفُخُونَ بِإِذْنِهِ [بِأَنْ] يُوهِمُوهُ أَنَّ أَحَداً مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ فَاضِلٌ عَلَيْنَا أَوْ عَدْلٌ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ كَلَّا وَ اللَّهِ بَلْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مُحَمَّداً ص ثُمَّ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ فَوْقَ جَمِيعِ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ كَمَا جَعَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى السَّمَاءَ فَوْقَ الْأَرْضِ وَ كَمَا زَادَ نُورُ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ عَلَى السُّهَا
Are you knowing what is the most intense of what they-la are blowing with? It is what they-la are blowing by worrying him that someone from this community is preferable over us-asws, or equal to us-asws, the People-asws of the Household. Never! By Allah-azwj! But Allah-azwj the Exalted Made Muhammad-saww, the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww to be above the entirety of this community, just as Allah-azwj the Exalted Made the sky to be above the earth, and just as the light of the sun and the moon is more enhanced over the distant stars’.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمَّا نَفَثَاتِهِ فَأَنْ يَرَى أَحَدُكُمْ أَنَّ شَيْئاً بَعْدَ الْقُرْآنِ أَشْفَى لَهُ مِنْ ذِكْرِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَيْنَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ ذِكْرَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ شِفَاءً لِلصُّدُورِ وَ جَعَلَ الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَيْنَا مَاحِيَةً لِلْأَوْزَارِ وَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ مُطَهِّرَةً مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ مُضَاعِفَةً لِلْحَسَنَاتِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And as for his-la puffing – so if one of you views that there is something after the Quran as a healing for him than our-asws mention of the People-asws of the Household, and from the (sending of) Salawat upon us-asws, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made our-asws mention, the People-asws of the Household, as a healing for the chests, and Made the Salawat upon us as a deletion of the burdens of the sins, and a cleansing from the faults, and a multiplication of the good deeds.
قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ أَيْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ فَاشْكُرُوا نِعَمَهُ بِطَاعَةِ مَنْ يَأْمُرُكُمْ بِطَاعَتِهِ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ خُلَفَائِهِمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ ث
The Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said if it is Him you are worshipping [2:172] – i.e., if it is Him-azwj you are worshipping, then be thankful for the Bounties of Allah-azwj by obeying the one He-azwj Commanded with obeying him, from Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, and their-asws goodly Caliphs.
ُمَّ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ إِنَّما حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةَ الَّتِي مَاتَتْ حَتْفَ أَنْفِهَا بِلَا ذَبَاحَةٍ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ فِيهَا وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَنْ تَأْكُلُوهُ وَ ما أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ مَا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ غَيْرِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الذَّبَائِحِ وَ هِيَ الَّتِي يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهَا الْكُفَّارُ بِأَسَامِي أَنْدَادِهِمُ الَّتِي اتَّخَذُوهَا مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ
Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: But rather, (it is) Prohibited upon you, the dead– which dies open-mouthed without having been slaughtered from where Allah-azwj Permitted with regards to it, and the blood, and flesh of the swine – to be eating it, and whatever is dedicated with for other than Allah – what the name of other than Allah-azwj is mentioned over it from the slaughtered, and it is which the Kafirs are drawing closer with by naming their rivals which they are taking to from besides Allah-azwj.
ثُمَّ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ غَيْرَ باغٍ وَ هُوَ غَيْرُ بَاغٍ عِنْدَ الضَّرُورَةِ عَلَى إِمَامٍ هُدًى وَ لا عادٍ وَ لَا مُعْتَدٍ قَوَّالٍ بِالْبَاطِلِ فِي نُبُوَّةِ مَنْ لَيْسَ بِنَبِيٍّ وَ إِمَامَةِ مَنْ لَيْسَ بِإِمَامٍ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي تَنَاوُلِ هَذِهِ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ سَتَّارٌ لِعُيُوبِكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ رَحِيمٌ بِكُمْ حِينَ أَبَاحَ لَكُمْ فِي الضَّرُورَةِ مَا حَرَّمَهُ فِي الرَّخَاءِ
Then the Mighty and Majestic Said: But the one who is desperate – to something from these Prohibitions, without coveting– and he is without a desire (for it) – during the necessity – upon an Imam-asws of Guidance, nor transgressing – nor giving significance by speaking with the falsehood regarding a prophet-hood of the one who isn’t a Prophet-as, or (speaking of) Imamate of the one who isn’t an Imam-asws, so there is no sin upon him – in taking these things, Surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful [2:173] – a Veiler of your faults, O you Momineen! He-azwj is Merciful with you where He-azwj Permitted for you during the desperation what He-azwj Prohibited during the ease’’.
قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ اتَّقُوا الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ كُلَّهَا وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّ غِيبَتَكُمْ لِأَخِيكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ شِيعَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَعْظَمُ فِي التَّحْرِيمِ مِنَ الْمَيْتَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ لا يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً أَ يُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتاً فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ
Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O servants of Allah-azwj! Fear the Prohibitions, all of them – and know that your backbiting of your Momin brother from the Shias of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww – is greater Prohibition than (eating) the dead. Allah-azwj Majestic and Exalted Said: and do not backbite each other – would one of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? But you abhor it [49:12].
وَ أَنَّ الدَّمَ أَخَفُّ فِي التَّحْرِيمِ عَلَيْكُمْ أَكْلُهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَشِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِأَخِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ شِيعَةِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِلَى سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ فَإِنَّهُ حِينَئِذٍ قَدْ أَهْلَكَ نَفْسَهُ وَ أَخَاهُ الْمُؤْمِنَ وَ السُّلْطَانَ الَّذِي وَشَى بِهِ إِلَيْهِ
And that the (drinking of the) blood is lighter upon you – regarding the Prohibition of consuming it – that if one of you informs of his Momin brother from Shias of Muhammad-saww to a tyrannous ruling authority, for he would have destroyed himself, and his Momin brother, and the ruling authority to whom he informed of him to him.
وَ أَنَّ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِيرِ أَخَفُّ تَحْرِيماً مِنْ تَعْظِيمِكُمْ مَنْ صَغَّرَهُ اللَّهُ وَ تَسْمِيتِكُمْ بِأَسْمَائِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ تَلَقُّبِكُمْ بِأَلْقَابِنَا مَنْ سَمَّاهُ اللَّهُ بِأَسْمَاءِ الْفَاسِقِينَ وَ لَقَّبَهُ بِأَلْقَابِ الْفَاجِرِينَ
And that the flesh of the swine is lighter in Prohibition than your revering of the one whom Allah-azwj Belittled, and your naming him with our-asws names (titles) of the People-asws of the Household, and your teknonyming him with our-asws teknonyms to the one whom Allah-azwj Named with the names of the mischief-makers, and Teknonymed him with the teknonyms of the evil doers.
وَ أَنَّ مَا أُهِلَّ بِهِ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ أَخَفُّ تَحْرِيماً عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَعْتَقِدُوا نِكَاحاً أَوْ صَلَاةً جَمَاعَةً بِأَسْمَاءِ أَعْدَائِنَا الْغَاصِبِينَ لِحُقُوقِنَا إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْهُمْ تَقِيَّةٌ
And that (consuming) whatever has been sacrificed for other than Allah-azwj is lighter in Prohibition upon you than if you were to tie a knot of marriage or a congregational Salat with the names of our-asws enemies, the usurpers of our-asws rights – when there does not happen to be Taqiyya upon you, from them.
قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ غَيْرَ باغٍ وَ لا عادٍ فَلا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ مَنِ اضْطُرَّهُ اللَّهْوُ إِلَى تَنَاوُلِ شَيْءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمُحَرَّمَاتِ وَ هُوَ مُعْتَقِدٌ لِطَاعَةِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى إِذَا زَالَتِ التَّقِيَّةُ فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: But the one who is desperate – to anything from these Prohibitions, without coveting nor transgressing, so there is no sin upon him [2:173] – the one who is driven out of necessity to taking anything from these Prohibitions – and he believes in the obedience to Allah-azwj the Exalted, when the Taqiyya is removed, then there is no sin upon him.
فَكَذَلِكَ فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ إِلَى الْوَقِيعَةِ فِي بَعْضِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِيَدْفَعَ عَنْهُ أَوْ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ بِذَلِكَ الْهَلَاكَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ النَّاصِبِينَ وَ مَنْ وَشَى بِهِ أَخُوهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوْ وَشَى بِجَمَاعَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ لِيُهْلِكَهُمْ فَانْتَصَرَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ وَشَى بِهِ وَحْدَهُ بِمَا يَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ عُيُوبِهِ الَّتِي لَا يُكَذَّبُ فِيهَا وَ مَنْ عَظَّمَ مُهَاناً فِي حُكْمِ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَوْهَمَ الْإِزْرَاءَ عَلَى عَظِيمٍ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ بِالتَّقِيَّةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ سَمَّاهُمْ بِالْأَسْمَاءِ الشَّرِيفَةِ خَوْفاً عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ مَنْ تَقَبَّلَ أَحْكَامَهُمْ تَقِيَّةً فَلَا إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِ فِي ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَسَّعَ لَهُمْ فِي التَّقِيَّةِ
And similar to that is the one who is driven to speak ill regarding one of the Momineen, in order to defend from him or from himself with that destruction from the Kafirs, the Nasibis – and the one who informs on his Momin brother – or informs on a group of the Muslims to destroy them, so he helps himself, and informs with it alone with what he recognises from his faults – in which there is no lie in it, and the one who magnifies a disgraced one in the Judgment of Allah-azwj, or purports the lowliness on a great one in the Religion of Allah-azwj – due to the Taqiyya upon him and upon himself, and the one who names him with the noble names out of fear upon himself, and the one who accept their ruling out of Taqiyya, so there is no sin upon him in that, because Allah-azwj the Exalted has Given leeway for them in during the Taqiyya.
وَ نَظَرَ الْبَاقِرُ ع إِلَى بَعْضِ شِيعَتِهِ وَ قَدْ دَخَلَ خَلْفَ بَعْضِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ أَحَسَّ الشِّيعِيُّ بِأَنَّ الْبَاقِرَ ع قَدْ عَرَفَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَقَصَدَهُ وَ قَالَ أَعْتَذِرُ إِلَيْكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنْ صَلَاتِي خَلْفَ فُلَانٍ فَإِنِّي أَتَّقِيهِ وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَصَلَّيْتُ وَحْدِي
Al-Baqir-asws looked at one of his-asws Shias and he had entered to be behind the adversaries in the Salat, and he sensed the Shiite feeling that Al-Baqir-asws had recognised that from him. So he aimed it and said, ‘I am (presenting) an excuse to you-asws, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-azwj, from my praying behind so and so, for I fear him, and had it not been for that, I would have prayed alone’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ الْبَاقِرُ ع يَا أَخِي إِنَّمَا كُنْتَ تَحْتَاجُ أَنْ تَعْتَذِرَ لَوْ تَرَكْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ الْمُؤْمِنَ مَا زَالَتْ مَلَائِكَةُ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ تُصَلِّي عَلَيْكَ وَ تَلْعَنُ إِمَامَكَ ذَاكَ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَ أَنْ تُحْسَبَ لَكَ صَلَاتُكَ خَلْفَهُ لِلتَّقِيَّةِ بِسَبْعِمِائَةِ صَلَاةٍ لَوْ صَلَّيْتَهَا وَحْدَكَ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالتَّقِيَّةِ
Al-Baqir-asws said to him: ‘O my-asws brother! But rather, you would have been needy to present an excuse if you had not done so. O Momin servant of Allah-azwj! The Angels of the seven skies and the seven earth have not ceased to send Blessings upon you, and curse that prayer leader of yours, and Allah-azwj the Exalted has Commanded that your Salat behind him out of Taqiyya should be reckoned with seven hundreds Salat had you prayed alone, therefore, it is upon you to be with the Taqiyya.
وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَمْقُتُ [تَارِكَهَا كَمَا يَمْقُتُ] الْمُتَّقَى مِنْهُ فَلَا تَرْضَ لِنَفْسِكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَنْزِلَتُكَ عِنْدَهُ كَمَنْزِلَةِ أَعْدَائِهِ.
And know that Allah-azwj the Exalted Detests its neglecter just as He-azwj Detests the one who abstains from it, therefore do not expose yourself for your status to happen to be in the Presence of Allah-azwj like the status of His-azwj enemies’’.[254]

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – Words of Mighty and Majestic: Those who are concealing what Allah Revealed from the Book and are purchasing a small price with it, they are not devouring into their bellies except for the Fire, nor will Allah be Speaking to them on the Day of Judgment, nor will He be Purifying them, and for them would be a painful Punishment [2:174]
أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلالَةَ بِالْهُدى وَ الْعَذابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ فَما أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ
They are those who are buying the straying by (selling) the Guidance, and (buying) the Punishment by (selling) the Forgiveness. So what would be their patience upon the Fire? [2:175]
ذلِكَ بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتابِ لَفِي شِقاقٍ بَعِيدٍ
That is because Allah Revealed the Book with the Truth, and those who are differing regarding the Book, they are in discord, remote (from the Truth) [2:176].
قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي صِفَةِ الْكَاتِمِينَ لِفَضْلِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ ما أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكِتابِ الْمُشْتَمِلِ عَلَى ذِكْرِ فَضْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص عَلَى جَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ فَضْلِ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْوَصِيِّينَ وَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِهِ بِالْكِتْمَانِ ثَمَناً قَلِيلًا يَكْتُمُونَهُ لِيَأْخُذُوا عَلَيْهِ عَرَضاً مِنَ الدُّنْيَا يَسِيراً وَ يَنَالُوا بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا عِنْدَ جُهَّالِ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ رِئَاسَةً
The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said in describing the concealment of our-asws merits, the People-asws of the Household: Those who are concealing what Allah Revealed from the Book – the inclusive upon the mention of the preference of Muhammad-saww over the entirety of the Prophets-as, and the preference of Ali-asws over the entirety of the successors, and are purchasing – by the concealment – a small price with it – concealing it in order to be taking upon it displays from the world easily, and they would be attaining with it in the world, by the ignorance of the servants of Allah-azwj, a governance.
قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أُولئِكَ ما يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا النَّارَ بَدَلًا مِنْ إِصَابَتِهِمُ الْيَسِيرَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا لِكِتْمَانِهِمُ الْحَقَ وَ لا يُكَلِّمُهُمُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ بِكَلَامٍ خَيْرٍ بَلْ يُكَلِّمُهُمُ بِأَنْ يَلْعَنَهُمْ وَ يُخْزِيَهُمْ وَ يَقُولُ بِئْسَ الْعِبَادُ أَنْتُمْ غَيَّرْتُمْ تَرْتِيبِي وَ أَخَّرْتُمْ مَنْ قَدَّمْتُهُ وَ قَدَّمْتُمْ مَنْ أَخَّرْتُهُ وَ وَالَيْتُمْ مَنْ عَادَيْتُهُ وَ عَادَيْتُمْ مَنْ وَالَيْتُهُ
Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: they are not devouring into their bellies – on the Day of Judgment – except for the Fire – instead from their small achievement from the world due to their concealment of the Truth. nor will Allah be Speaking to them on the Day of Judgment – with good Speech, but He-azwj would be Speaking to them by Cursing them and Disgracing them, and He-azwj would be Saying: “You are evil servants! You altered My-azwj sequence and placed last the one whom I-azwj Placed as first, and placed first the one whom I-azwj Placed last (Rejected), and befriended the one whom I-azwj was Inimical to, and were inimical to the one I-azwj Befriended.
وَ لا يُزَكِّيهِمْ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِمْ لِأَنَّ الذُّنُوبَ إِنَّمَا تَذُوبُ وَ تَضْمَحِلُّ إِذَا قَرَنَ بِهَا مُوَالاةُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ ع فَأَمَّا مَا يَقْرِنُ مِنْهَا بِالزَّوَالِ عَنْ مُوَالاةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فَتِلْكَ ذُنُوبٌ تَتَضَاعَفُ وَ أَجْرَامٌ تَتَزَايَدُ وَ عُقُوبَاتُهَا تَتَعَاظَمُ وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ مُوجَعٌ فِي النَّارِ
Nor will He be Purifying them – from their sins, because the sins rather, tend to melt and vanish when paired with the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and their-asws goodly Progeny-asws. So, as for what is not paired with it, what is declined from the Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, so those sins would be multiplied, and its crime is increased, and its consequential Punishment would be magnified. And for them would be a painful Punishment [2:174] – Excruciating pain in the Fire.
أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ اشْتَرَوُا الضَّلالَةَ بِالْهُدى أَخَذُوا الضَّلَالَةَ عِوَضاً عَنِ الْهُدَى وَ الرَّدَى فِي دَارِ الْبَوَارِ بَدَلًا مِنَ السَّعَادَةِ فِي دَارِ الْقَرَارِ وَ مَحَلِّ الْأَبْرَارِ
They are those who are buying the straying by (selling) the Guidance – taking the straying instead of the Guidance, and the annihilation in the House of doom in exchange from the happiness in the House of the tranquillity and the place of the righteous ones.
وَ الْعَذابَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ اشْتَرَوُا الْعَذَابَ الَّذِي اسْتَحَقُّوا بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ لِأَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ بَدَلًا مِنَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَكُونُ لَهُمْ لَوْ وَالَوْا أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ فَما أَصْبَرَهُمْ عَلَى النَّارِ مَا أَجْرَأَهُمْ عَلَى عَمَلٍ يُوجِبُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَذَابَ النَّارِ
And (buying) the Punishment by (selling) the Forgiveness – they are buying the Punishment which they are deserving of due to their friendship with the enemies of Allah-azwj in exchange from the Forgiveness which would have happened to be for them if they had befriended the friends of Allah-azwj, So what would be their patience upon the Fire? [2:175] – how audacious they are upon doing what would Obligated upon them the Punishment of the Fire.
ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ يَعْنِي ذَلِكَ الْعَذَابَ الَّذِي وَجَبَ عَلَى هَؤُلَاءِ بِآثَامِهِمْ وَ أَجْرَامِهِمْ لِمُخَالَفَتِهِمْ لِإِمَامِهِمْ وَ زَوَالِهِمْ عَنْ مُوَالاةِ سَيِّدِ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّهِ أَخِيهِ وَ صَفِيِّهِ
That – meaning that Punishment which is Obligated upon them due to their sins and their crimes of opposing their Imam-asws, and their decline from the friendship of the Chief of the creatures of Allah-azwj after Muhammad-saww, His-azwj Prophet-saww, is his-saww brother, his-saww successor-asws.
بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ بِالْحَقِ نَزَّلَ الْكِتَابَ الَّذِي تَوَعَّدَ فِيهِ مَنْ خَالَفَ الْمُحِقِّينَ وَ جَانَبَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَ شَرَعَ فِي طَاعَةِ الْفَاسِقِينَ نَزَلَ الْكِتَابَ بِالْحَقِّ أَنَّ مَا يُوعَدُونَ بِهِ يُصِيبُهُمْ وَ لَا يُخْطِئُهُمْ
Is because Allah Revealed the Book with the Truth – Revealed the Book which, wherein are threats against the one who oppose the rightful ones and keep aside from the truthful ones, and proceeded in the obedience of the mischief-makers. The Book was Revealed with the Truth that what they are being threatened with would hit them and will would not miss them.
وَ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْكِتابِ فَلَمْ يُؤْمِنُوا بِهِ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهُ سِحْرٌ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهُ شِعْرٌ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ إِنَّهُ كِهَانَةٌ لَفِي شِقاقٍ بَعِيدٍ مُخَالَفَةٍ بَعِيدَةٍ عَنِ الْحَقِّ كَانَ الْحَقُّ فِي شِقٍّ وَ هُمْ فِي شِقٍّ غَيْرِهِ يُخَالِفُهُ
And those who are differing regarding the Book – so they are not believing in it. Some of them say, ‘It is sorcery’. And some of them say, ‘It is poetry’. And some of them (say), ‘It is divination, they are in discord, remote (from the Truth) [2:176] – in opposition, far from the Truth, as if the Truth is (to be found) in doubt, and they are in a doubt other than it, opposing it’’.
قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع هَذَا أَحْوَالُ مَنْ كَتَمَ فَضَائِلَنَا وَ جَحَدَ حُقُوقَنَا وَ تَسَمَّى بِأَسْمَائِنَا وَ تَلَقَّبَ بِأَلْقَابِنَا وَ أَعَانَ ظَالِمَنَا عَلَى غَصْبِ حُقُوقِنَا وَ مَالَأَ عَلَيْنَا أَعْدَاءَنَا وَ التَّقِيَّةُ عَلَيْكُمْ لَا تُزْعِجُه وَ الْمَخَافَةُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ إِخْوَانِهِ لَا تَبْعَثُهُ
Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘These are the states of the ones who conceals our-asws merits, and rejects our-asws rights, and names with our-asws names (titles), and teknonyms with our teknonyms, and assists those who oppress us-asws upon usurping our-asws rights, and helps our-asws enemies against us-asws – and the Taqiyya is upon (him) for his worries and fear upon himself, and his wealth, and his brethren, of not being pursued.
فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ مَعَاشِرَ شِيعَتِنَا لَا تَسْتَعْمِلُوا الْهُوَيْنَا وَ لَا تَقِيَّةَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا تَسْتَعْمِلُوا الْمُهَاجَرَةَ وَ التَّقِيَّةُ تَمْنَعُكُمْ وَ سَأُحَدِّثُكُمْ فِي ذَلِكَ بِمَا يَرْدَعُكُمْ وَ يَعِظُكُمْ
Therefore fear Allah-azwj, group of our-asws Shias, and do not be utilising the gentleness while there is no Taqiyya upon you, nor be utilising the openness and the Taqiyya is preventing you, and I-asws shall narrate to you regarding that with what would deter you and caution you: –
دَخَلَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَوَطِئَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى حَيَّةٍ فَلَدَغَتْهُ وَ وَقَعَ عَلَى الْآخَرِ فِي طَرِيقِهِ مِنْ حَائِطٍ عَقْرَبٌ فَلَسَعَتْهُ وَ سَقَطَا جَمِيعاً فَكَأَنَّهُمَا لِمَا بِهِمَا يَتَضَرَّعَانِ وَ يَبْكِيَانِ
There came to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, two men from his-asws companions. One of them had trodden upon a snake, so it had bit him, and a scorpion had fallen from a wall upon the other one in his way, so it had stung him, and they had both fallen down. It was as if they were both beseeching and crying due to what had befallen with them.
فَقِيلَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ دَعُوهُمَا فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحِنْ حِينُهُمَا وَ لَمْ تَتِمَّ مِحْنَتُهُمَا فَحُمِلَا إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِمَا فَبَقِيَا عَلِيلَيْنِ أَلِيمَيْنِ فِي عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ شَهْرَيْنِ
It was told to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Leave them, for it is not the time for them yet (to be cured), and their ordeal is not completed’. So, they were carried over to their houses, and they remained in pain in severe punishment for two months.
ثُمَّ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمَا فَحُمِلَا إِلَيْهِ وَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ سَيَمُوتَانِ عَلَى أَيْدِي الْحَامِلِينَ لَهُمَا
Then Amir Al-Momineen-asws sent for them, and they were carried over to him-asws, and the people were saying, ‘They will soon be dying upon the hands of their carriers’.
فَقَالَ كَيْفَ حَالُكُمَا قَالا نَحْنُ بِأَلَمٍ عَظِيمٍ وَ فِي عَذَابٍ شَدِيدٍ
He-asws said to them: ‘How is your state?’ They said, ‘We are in great pain and in intense punishment’.
قَالَ لَهُمَا اسْتَغْفِرَا اللَّهَ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ أَدَّاكُمَا إِلَى هَذَا وَ تَعَوَّذَا بِاللَّهِ مَا يُحْبِطُ أَجْرَكُمَا وَ يُعْظِمُ وِزْرَكُمَا قَالا وَ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He-asws said to them:’ Seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj from every sin you have committed up to this (time), and seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from Having your Recompense Thwarted and your burdens to be magnified’. They said, ‘And how can that be so, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws?’
فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع مَا أُصِيبَ وَاحِدٌ مِنْكُمَا إِلَّا بِذَنْبِهِ أَمَّا أَنْتَ يَا فُلَانُ وَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا أَ تَذْكُرُ يَوْمَ غَمَزَ عَلَى سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ فُلَانٌ وَ طَعَنَ عَلَيْهِ لِمُوَالاتِهِ لَنَا فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ مِنَ الرَّدِّ وَ الِاسْتِخْفَافِ بِهِ خَوْفٌ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ لَا عَلَى أَهْلِكَ وَ لَا عَلَى وُلْدِكَ وَ مَالِكَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَنِ اسْتَحْيَيْتَهُ فَلِذَلِكَ أَصَابَكَ
Ali-asws said: ‘One of you two has not been hit except due to his sins. As for you, O so and so’ – and he-asws faced towards one of them – ‘Recall the day so and so winked against Salman Al-Farsy-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him-ra, and spoke ill against him-ra due to his-ra Wilayah for us-asws? You were not prevented from the responding and the taking lightly with it – neither fear upon yourself, nor upon your family, nor upon your children and your wealth, more that you being embarrassed of it. Thus, due to that, you were hit.
فَإِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُزِيلَ اللَّهُ مَا بِكَ فَاعْتَقِدْ أَنْ لَا تَرَى مُزْرِئاً عَلَى وَلِيٍّ لَنَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَى نُصْرَتِهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ إِلَّا نَصَرْتَهُ إِلَّا أَنْ تَخَافَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ أَهْلِكَ وَ وُلْدِكَ وَ مَالِكَ
So if you want that Allah-azwj Removes what is with you, then be of the belief that you will not see someone faulting upon a friend of ours-asws while you are able upon helping him, whether in his presence or absence, except that you will help him, unless if you fear upon yourself, or your family, or your children, or your wealth’.
وَ قَالَ لِلْآخَرِ فَأَنْتَ أَ تَدْرِي لِمَا أَصَابَكَ مَا أَصَابَكَ قَالَ لَا
And he-asws said to the other: ‘You, do you know why you were hit by what hit you?’ He said, ‘No’.
قَالَ أَ مَا تَذْكُرُ حَيْثُ أَقْبَلَ قَنْبَرٌ خَادِمِي وَ أَنْتَ بِحَضْرَةِ فُلَانٍ الْعَاتِي فَقُمْتَ إِجْلَالًا لَهُ لِإِجْلَالِكَ لِي فَقَالَ لَكَ أَ وَ تَقُومُ لِهَذَا بِحَضْرَتِي فَقُلْتَ لَهُ وَ مَا بَالِي لَا أَقُومُ وَ مَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهِ تَضَعُ لَهُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا فِي طَرِيقِهِ فَعَلَيْهَا يَمْشِي
He-asws said: ‘Do you not recall when my-asws servant Qanbar came over and you were in the presence of so and so tyrant? So you stood up in reverence to him due to your reverence for me-asws. So he said to you, ‘And you are standing up for this one in my presence!’ You said to him, ‘And why should I not stand, and the Angels of Allah-azwj are placing their wings down for him in his way, and it is upon these that he walks?’
فَلَمَّا قُلْتَ هَذَا لَهُ قَامَ إِلَى قَنْبَرٍ وَ ضَرَبَهُ وَ شَتَمَهُ وَ آذَاهُ وَ تَهَدَّدَنِي وَ أَلْزَمَنِي الْإِغْضَاءَ عَلَى قَذًى فَلِهَذَا سَقَطَتْ عَلَيْكَ هَذِهِ الْحَيَّةُ
When you said this, He stood against Qanbar and struck him, and insulted him, and hurt him, and threatened him and threatened me-asws, and necessitating me-asws (to tolerate) the speck upon my-asws eye. Thus, due to this, this snake fell upon you’.
فَإِنْ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُعَافِيَكَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ هَذَا فَاعْتَقِدْ أَنْ لَا تَفْعَلَ بِنَا وَ لَا بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ مَوَالِينَا بِحَضْرَةِ أَعْدَائِنَا مَا يُخَافُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْهُ
If you want the Allah-azwj the Exalted should Pardon you from this, then be of the belief that you will not deal with us-asws, nor with anyone from our-asws friends, in the presence of our-asws enemies, what is feared upon us-asws and upon them, from him.
أَمَا إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ مَعَ تَفْضِيلِهِ لِي لَمْ يَكُنْ يَقُومُ لِي عَنْ مَجْلِسِهِ إِذَا حَضَرْتُهُ كَمَا كَانَ يَفْعَلُهُ بِبَعْضِ مَنْ لَا يَقِيسُ مِعْشَارَ جُزْءٍ مِنْ مِائَةِ أَلْفِ جُزْءٍ مِنْ إِيجَابِهِ لِي لِأَنَّهُ عَلِمَ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ يَحْمِلُ بَعْضَ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا يَغُمُّهُ وَ يَغُمُّنِي وَ يَغُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَدْ كَانَ يَقُومُ لِقَوْمٍ لَا يَخَافُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ لَا عَلَيْهِمْ مِثْلَ مَا خَافَهُ عَلَيَّ لَوْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِي.
However, Rasool-Allah-saww was with his-saww preferences for me-asws – (but) he-saww did not use to stand for me-asws from his-saww sitting whenever I-asws presented – just as he-saww used to do with some (others) who cannot be compared by one part from a hundred thousand from his-asws response to me-asws, because he-saww knew that, that would carry some of the enemies of Allah-azwj upon (doing something) what would grieve him-saww, and grieve me-asws, and grieve the Momineen. And he-saww used to stand up for people, not out of fear upon himself-saww nor upon them, like what he-saww feared upon me-asws, had he-saww done that with me-asws’’.[255]
باب 4 النهي عن أخذ فضائلهم من مخالفيهم
CHAPTER 4 – THE PROHIBITION OF TAKING THEIR-asws MERITS FROM THE ADVERSARIES
1- ن، عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام أَبِي عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمَالِكِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ عِنْدَنَا أَخْبَاراً فِي فَضَائِلِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ فَضْلِكُمْ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ هِيَ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مُخَالِفِيكُمْ وَ لَا نَعْرِفُ مِثْلَهَا عَنْكُمْ أَ فَنَدِينُ بِهَا
(The book) – ‘Uyoon Al Akhbar Al Reza-asws’ – My father, from Al Hassan Bin Ahmad Al Maliky, from his father, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Mahmoud who said,
‘I said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! With us are Ahadeeth regarding the merits of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and your-asws merits, People-asws of the Household, and these are from the reports of the adversaries and we do not recognise the like of it with you-asws. Shall we make it a Religion with these?’
فَقَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ لَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ مَنْ أَصْغَى إِلَى نَاطِقٍ فَقَدْ عَبَدَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ النَّاطِقُ عَنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَدْ عَبَدَ اللَّهَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ النَّاطِقُ عَنْ إِبْلِيسَ فَقَدْ عَبَدَ إِبْلِيسَ
He-asws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Mahmoud! My-asws father-asws informed me-asws from his-asws father-asws from his-asws grandfather-asws that Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who listens to a speaker so he has worshipped him. If the speaker was from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, so he has worshipped Allah-azwj, and if he was the speaker from Iblees-la, so has worshipped Iblees-la’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ الرِّضَا ع يَا ابْنَ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ إِنَّ مُخَالِفِينَا وَضَعُوا أَخْبَاراً فِي فَضَائِلِنَا وَ جَعَلُوهَا عَلَى أَقْسَامٍ ثَلَاثَةٍ أَحَدُهَا الْغُلُوُّ وَ ثَانِيهَا التَّقْصِيرُ فِي أَمْرِنَا وَ ثَالِثُهَا التَّصْرِيحُ بِمَثَالِبِ أَعْدَائِنَا
Then Al-Reza-asws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Mahmoud! Our-asws adversaries are placing Ahadeeth regarding our-asws merits and making these to be upon three categories – one of these is the exaggeration, and the second is reduction in our-asws matters, and third is stating the defects of our-asws enemies.
فَإِذَا سَمِعَ النَّاسُ الْغُلُوَّ فِينَا كَفَّرُوا شِيعَتَنَا وَ نَسَبُوهُمْ إِلَى الْقَوْلِ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِنَا وَ إِذَا سَمِعُوا التَّقْصِيرَ اعْتَقَدُوهُ فِينَا وَ إِذَا سَمِعُوا مَثَالِبَ أَعْدَائِنَا بِأَسْمَائِهِمْ ثَلَبُونَا بِأَسْمَائِنَا
So when the people hear the exaggeration regarding us-asws, they disbelieve our-asws Shias and attribute them to the word with our-asws Lordship; and when they hear the reduction they believe it regarding us-asws; and when they hear the defects of our-asws enemies with their names, they defame us-asws with our-asws names’.
وَ قَدْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ لا تَسُبُّوا الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ فَيَسُبُّوا اللَّهَ عَدْواً بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ
And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Said: And do not insult those who are supplicating to the ones besides Allah so they would (in retaliation) be insulting Allah in enmity, without knowledge. [6:108].
يَا ابْنَ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ إِذَا أَخَذَ النَّاسُ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا فَالْزَمْ طَرِيقَتَنَا فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ لَزِمَنَا لَزِمْنَاهُ وَ مَنْ فَارَقَنَا فَارَقْنَاهُ
O Ibn Abu Mahmoud! When the people take to the right and left, then adhere to our-asws way, for the one who adheres to us-asws, we-asws shall adhere to him, and the one who separates from us-asws, we-asws shall separate from him.
إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَا يُخْرِجُ الرَّجُلَ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِلْحَصَاةِ هَذِهِ نَوَاةٌ ثُمَّ يَدِينُ بِذَلِكَ وَ يَبْرَأُ مِمَّنْ خَالَفَهُ
The least of what exits the man from the Eman is that he would be saying for the pebble, ‘This is a kernel’, then he makes it a religion with that and disavows from the ones who oppose him.
يَا ابْنَ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ احْفَظْ مَا حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِ فَقَدْ جَمَعْتُ لَكَ فِيهِ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
O Ibn Abu Mahmoud! Preserve what I-asws have narrated to you with, for I-asws have collected for you in it the good of the world and the Hereafter’’.[256]

CHAPTER 5 – SUMMARY OF THEIR-asws VIRTUES AND THEIR-asws MERITS
1- لي، الأمالي للصدوق أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنِ الْبَطَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا بَا بَصِيرٍ نَحْنُ شَجَرَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَ نَحْنُ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ فِي دَارِنَا مَهْبِطُ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ نَحْنُ خُزَّانُ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ مَعَادِنُ وَحْيِ اللَّهِ مَنْ تَبِعَنَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ عَنَّا هَلَكَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Abu Al Khattab, from Ibn Asbaat, from al Batainy, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Al-Sadiq Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘O Abu Baseer! We-asws are the tree of knowledge, and we-asws are the People-asws of the Household of the Prophet-saww, and in our-asws house Jibraeel-as descended, and we-asws are treasurers of the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the mine of Revelation of Allah-azwj. One who follows us-asws attains salvation, and one who stays behind from us-asws is destroyed, being a right upon (people) from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[257]
2- يد، التوحيد مع، معاني الأخبار أَبِي عَنْ سَعْدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلْقاً خَلَقَهُمْ مِنْ نُورِهِ وَ رَحْمَتِهِ لِرَحْمَتِهِ
(The book) ‘Al Tawheed’ (and) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbar’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat, from Aban, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘For Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic there are creatures, He-azwj Created them from His-azwj Noor (Light) and His-saww Mercy, and for His-azwj Mercy.
فَهُمْ عَيْنُ اللَّهِ النَّاظِرَةُ وَ أُذُنُهُ السَّامِعَةُ وَ لِسَانُهُ النَّاطِقُ فِي خَلْقِهِ بِإِذْنِهِ وَ أُمَنَاؤُهُ عَلَى مَا أَنْزَلَ مِنْ عُذْرٍ أَوْ نُذْرٍ أَوْ حُجَّةٍ
Thus, they-asws are the seeing Eye of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj hearing Ears, and His-azwj speaking Tongue among His-azwj creatures by His-azwj Permission, and they-asws are His-azwj treasurers upon what He-azwj Sent down from an excuse or warning, or Divine Authorities.
فَبِهِمْ يَمْحُو اللَّهُ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ بِهِمْ يَدْفَعُ الضَّيْمَ وَ بِهِمْ يُنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَةَ وَ بِهِمْ يُحْيِي مَيِّتاً وَ يُمِيتُ حَيّاً وَ بِهِمْ يَبْتَلِي خَلْقَهُ وَ بِهِمْ يَقْضِي فِي خَلْقِهِ قَضِيَّةً
By them-asws Allah-azwj Deletes the evil deeds, and by them-asws He-azwj Defends from injustices, and by them-asws He-azwj Sends down the Mercy, and by them-asws He-azwj Revives the death and Kills the living, and by them-asws He-azwj Tries His-azwj creatures, and by them-asws He-azwj Judges among His-azwj creatures with Decrees’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ.
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Who are they-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘The successors-asws’’.[258]
3- ما، الأمالي للشيخ الطوسي الْمُفِيدُ عَنِ الْجِعَابِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ السَّعْدِيِّ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ حَدِّثْنِي بِمَا سَمِعْتَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ رَأَيْتَهُ يَعْمَلُ بِهِ فَقَالَ عَلَيْكَ بِالْقُرْآنِ
(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi al Mufeed, from Al Jiany, from Ibn Uqda, from Khalid Bin Yazeed, from Abu Khalid, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from Abu Is’haq, from Rabie Al Sa’ady who said,
‘I went to Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamani and said to him, ‘Narrate to me with what you have heard from Rasool-Allah-saww and had seen him-saww performing’. He said, ‘Upon you is to be with the Quran’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ قَرَأْتُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ إِنَّمَا جِئْتُكَ لِتُحَدِّثَنِي بِمَا لَمْ أَرَهُ وَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ عَلَى حُذَيْفَةَ أَنِّي أَتَيْتُهُ لِيُحَدِّثَنِي فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ سَمِعَ وَ كَتَمَ
I said to him, ‘I have read the Quran, and rather I came to you for you to narrate to me with what I did not see and did not hear from Rasool-Allah-saww. O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj a Witness upon Huzeyfa! I came to him for him to narrate to me, but he had heard and is concealing’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ قَدْ أَبْلَغْتُ فِي الشِّدَّةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي خُذْهَا قَصِيرَةٌ مِنْ طَوِيلَةٍ وَ جَامِعَةً لِكُلِّ أَمْرِكَ إِنَّ آيَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فِي هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ لَيَأْكُلُ الطَّعَامَ وَ يَمْشِي فِي الْأَسْواقِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Huzeyfa said, ‘I have delivered during the difficulties’. Then he said to me, ‘Take it, short from its long and a summary for every affair of yours. A sign of the Paradise in this community eats the food and walks in the markets’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فَبَيِّنْ لِي آيَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَأَتَّبِعَهَا وَ آيَةَ النَّارِ فَأَتَّقِيَهَا فَقَالَ لِي وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ حُذَيْفَةَ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ آيَةَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْهُدَاةَ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِنَّ آيَةَ النَّارِ وَ الدُّعَاةَ إِلَيْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَأَعْدَاؤُهُمْ.
I said to him, ‘Explain to me the sign of Paradise and the sign of Fire, so I can fear it’. He said to me, ‘By the One-azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Huzeyfa! A sign of the Paradise and the guides to it up to the Day of Qiyamah are the Imams-asws from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and the sign of the Fire and the callers to it up to the Day of Qiyamah and their-asws enemies’’.[259] (Not a Hadeeth)
4- ع، علل الشرائع ابْنُ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ زِيَادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَقَالَ يَا بَنِي عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ مَا فَضْلُكُمْ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَسَكَتُوا
(The book) ‘Illal Al Sharaie’ – Ibn Mutawakkal, from Ali Bin Muhammad Majaylawiya, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Ubeyd Bin Zurara,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘I-asws was in the presence of Ziyad Bin Abdullah and a group of his family members. He said, O sons of Ali-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws! What is your merit over the people?’ They were silent.
فَقُلْتُ إِنَّ مِنْ فَضْلِنَا عَلَى النَّاسِ أَنَّا لَا نُحِبُّ أَنْ نَكُونَ أَحَداً سِوَانَا وَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ لَا يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنَّا إِلَّا أَشْرَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْوُوا هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ.
I-asws said, ‘From our-asws merit over the people is that we-asws do not like that we-asws become the ones besides us-asws, and there isn’t anyone from the people who do not love to be from us-asws, except he associates (commits shirk)’. Then he-asws said: ‘Report this Hadeeth’’.[260]
5- فس، تفسير القمي أَبِي عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ الْجَوَابَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّداً ص كَانَ أَمِينَ اللَّهِ فِي خَلْقِهِ فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص كُنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَرَثَتَهُ فَنَحْنُ أُمَنَاءُ اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ عِنْدَنَا عِلْمُ الْمَنَايَا وَ الْبَلَايَا وَ أَنْسَابِ الْعَرَبِ وَ مَوْلِدِ الْإِسْلَامِ
Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Abdullah Bin Jundab who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, asking him-asws about the interpretation of Words of the Exalted: Allah is Light of the skies and the earth [24:35] – up to the end of the Verse. He-asws wrote the answer to me: ‘As for after, Muhammad-saww was a Trustee of Allah-azwj among His-azwj creatures. When the Prophet-saww passed away, it was the People-asws of the Household who inherited him-saww. Thus, we-asws are the Trustees of Allah-azwj in His-azwj earth. With us-asws is the knowledge of the deaths and the afflictions, and the lineages of the Arabs, and the birth of Al-Islam.
وَ مَا مِنْ فِئَةٍ تُضِلُّ مِائَةً وَ تَهْدِي مِائَةً إِلَّا وَ نَحْنُ نَعْرِفُ سَائِقَهَا وَ قَائِدَهَا وَ نَاعِقَهَا وَ إِنَّا لَنَعْرِفُ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا رَأَيْنَاهُ بِحَقِيقَةِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ حَقِيقَةِ النِّفَاقِ إِنَّ شِيعَتَنَا لَمَكْتُوبُونَ بِأَسَامِيهِمْ وَ أَسَامِي آبَائِهِمْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمِيثَاقَ يَرِدُونَ مَوْرِدَنَا وَ يَدْخُلُونَ مَدْخَلَنَا لَيْسَ عَلَى جُمْلَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ غَيْرُنَا وَ غَيْرُهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
And there is none from a group straying a hundred and guiding a hundred, except and we-asws recognise its usher, and its leader, and its caller, and we-asws recognise the man when we-asws show him the realities of the Eman, and realities of the hypocrisy, and that our-asws Shias are registered with their names and the names of their fathers. Allah-azwj Took the Covenant upon us-asws and upon them. They turn our-asws turnings and enter our-asws entrances. There wouldn’t be anyone upon the Religion of Al-Islam apart from us-asws and them up to the Day of Qiyamah.
نَحْنُ آخِذُونَ بِحُجْزَةِ نَبِيِّنَا وَ نَبِيُّنَا آخِذٌ بِحُجْزَةِ رَبِّنَا وَ الْحُجْزَةُ النُّورُ وَ شِيعَتُنَا آخِذُونَ بِحُجْزَتِنَا
We-asws would be grabbing an attachment of our-asws Prophet-saww, and our-asws Prophet-saww would be grabbing an Attachment of our-asws Lord-azwj – and the attachment, it is the Light – and our-asws Shias would be grabbing our-asws attachment.
مَنْ فَارَقَنَا هَلَكَ وَ مَنْ تَبِعَنَا نَجَا وَ مُفَارِقُنَا وَ الْجَاحِدُ لِوَلَايَتِنَا كَافِرٌ وَ مُتَّبِعُنَا وَ تَابِعُ أَوْلِيَائِنَا مُؤْمِنٌ لَا يُحِبُّنَا كَافِرٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُنَا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ يُحِبُّنَا كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْعَثَهُ مَعَنَا
One who separates from us-asws is destroyed, and one who follows us-asws achieves salvation, and the separator from us-asws and the rejecter of our-asws Wilayah is a Kafir, and follower of us-asws and follower of our-asws friends is a Momin. A Kafir will not love us-asws and a Momin will not hate us-asws. And one who dies, and he loves us-asws, would have a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Resurrects him to be with us-asws.
نَحْنُ نُورٌ لِمَنْ تَبِعَنَا وَ هُدًى لِمَنِ اهْتَدَى بِنَا وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَّا فَلَيْسَ مِنَ الْإِسْلَامِ فِي شَيْءٍ بِنَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ الدِّينَ وَ بِنَا يَخْتِمُهُ وَ بِنَا أَطْعَمَكُمْ عُشْبَ الْأَرْضِ وَ بِنَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ قَطْرَ السَّمَاءِ وَ بِنَا آمَنَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ فِي بَحْرِكُمْ وَ مِنَ الْخَسْفِ فِي بَرِّكُمْ وَ بِنَا نَفَعَكُمُ اللَّهُ فِي حَيَاتِكُمْ وَ فِي قُبُورِكُمْ وَ فِي مَحْشَرِكُمْ وَ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ وَ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِكُمُ الْجِنَانَ
We-asws are a Light for the ones who follow us-asws, and a Guidance for the one who seeks Guidance with us-asws. And one who does not happen to be from us-asws, so he isn’t from Al-Islam into anything. And by us-asws Allah-azwj will Grant victory to the Religion, and by us-asws He-azwj will end it, and by us-asws Allah-azwj Feeds you all the vegetation of the earth, and by us-asws Allah-azwj Sends down the drops of the sky, and by us-asws Allah-azwj Secures you from drowning in your oceans, and ones who submerge in your lands, and by us-asws Allah-azwj Benefits you in your lives, and in your graves, and in your Resurrection, and at the Bridge, and at the Scale, and at the entrance of the Gardens.
مَثَلُنَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الْمِشْكَاةِ وَ الْمِشْكَاةُ فِي الْقِنْدِيلِ فَنَحْنُ الْمِشْكَاةُ فِيهَا الْمِصْبَاحُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الْمِصْباحُ فِي زُجاجَةٍ الزُّجاجَةُ كَأَنَّها كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَ لا غَرْبِيَّةٍ لَا دَعِيَّةٍ وَ لَا مُنْكَرَةٍ
Our-asws example in the Book of Allah-azwj is like a niche, and the niche is in the lantern. Thus, we-asws are the niche wherein is a lamp [24:35]. The lamp is Muhammad-saww, Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, the lamp is in a glass, from its pure elements, and the glass is as if it is a brightly shining star ignited from a Blessed tree of olives, neither eastern nor western – neither disgusting nor evil.
يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِيءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ الْقُرْآنُ نُورٌ عَلى نُورٍ إِمَامٌ بَعْدَ إِمَامٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ فَالنُّورُ عَلِيٌّ ع يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِوَلَايَتِنَا مَنْ أَحَبَّ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَبْعَثَ وَلِيَّنَا مُشْرِقاً وَجْهُهُ نَيِّراً بُرْهَانُهُ ظَاهِرَةً عِنْدَ اللَّهِ حُجَّتُهُ
Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it – the Quran. Light upon Light – Imam-asws after an Imam-asws. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to, and Allah Strikes examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things [24:35]. So the Light is Ali-asws. Allah-azwj Guides to our-asws Wilayah, the one He-azwj Loves, and there is a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Resurrects the ones in our-asws Wilayah with a bright face, His-azwj Proof being radiant, a phenomenon in the Presence of Allah-azwj of His-azwj Divine Authorities.
حَقٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ وَلِيَّنَا مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً فَشُهَدَاؤُنَا لَهُمْ فَضْلٌ عَلَى الشُّهَدَاءِ بِعَشْرِ دَرَجَاتٍ وَ لِشَهِيدِ شِيعَتِنَا فَضْلٌ عَلَى كُلِّ شَهِيدِ غَيْرِنَا بِتِسْعِ دَرَجَاتٍ
There is a right upon Allah-azwj that He-azwj Makes the ones in our-asws Wilayah, the pious ones, to be with the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69]. Thus, our-asws martyrs, for them is a merit upon the martyrs by ten Levels, and a martyr of our-asws Shias has a merit upon all martyrs apart from ours-asws, by nine Levels.
نَحْنُ النُّجَبَاءُ وَ نَحْنُ أَفْرَاطُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ الْمَخْصُوصُونَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ الَّذِينَ شَرَعَ اللَّهُ لَنَا دِينَهُ فَقَالَ فِي كِتَابِهِ شَرَعَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الدِّينِ ما وَصَّى بِهِ نُوحاً وَ الَّذِي أَوْحَيْنا إِلَيْكَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ ما وَصَّيْنا بِهِ إِبْراهِيمَ وَ مُوسى وَ عِيسى
So we-asws are the excellent ones, and we-asws are the excess of the Prophets-as, and we-asws are the children of the successors-as, and we-asws are the ones-asws particularise in the Book of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the foremost of the people with Rasool-Allah-saww, and we-asws are those Allah-azwj Legislated His-azwj Religion for us-asws, so He-azwj Said in His-azwj Book: He has Legislated for you from the Religion what He Bequeathed with to Noah, and which We Revealed to you, and what We Bequeathed with to Ibrahim, and Musa, and Isa [42:13].
فَقَدْ عَلَّمَنَا وَ بَلَّغَنَا مَا عَلَّمَنَا وَ اسْتَوْدَعَنَا عِلْمَهُمْ وَ نَحْنُ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ وَرَثَةُ أُوْلِي الْعِلْمِ وَ الْعَزْمِ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ أَنْ أَقِيمُوا الدِّينَ كَمَا قَالَ وَ لا تَتَفَرَّقُوا فِيهِ كَبُرَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ مَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍ ما تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍ
We-asws have been Taught, and we-asws delivered what we-asws were Taught, and we-asws kept their-as knowledge in trust, and we-asws are the inheritors of the Prophets-as, and we-asws inherited the foremost knowledge and of the Determined ones from the Rasools-as that: “Establish the Religion and do not be divided in it!” Greatly difficult it is upon the associators [42:13] – ones who associate with the Wilayah of Ali-asws, what you are calling them to – from the Wilayah of Ali-asws.
اللَّهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يَهْدِي إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يُنِيبُ مَنْ يُجِيبُكَ إِلَى وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ قَدْ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِكِتَابٍ فِيهِ هُدًى فَتَدَبَّرْهُ وَ افْهَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ شِفَاءٌ وَ نُورٌ.
Allah-azwj, O Muhammad-saww, He Guides towards it ones who are penitent [42:13], one who answers you-saww to the Wilayah of Ali-asws,and he-saww had been Sent with a Book wherein is Guidance, therefore ponder over it, and understand it, as it is a ‘شِفَاءٌ وَ نُورٌ’ healing and a Light’’.[261]

It is the tree of Prophet-hood, and house of mercy, and keys of wisdom, and mine of knowledge, and place of the Message, and interchange of the Angels, and place of Secrets of Allah-azwj and its depository, and the entrustment which was presented to the skies and the earth, and the greatest Sanctity of Allah-azwj, and the Ancient house of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Sanctity.

They-asws were Noor (lights) shining around the Throne of their-asws Lord-azwj.

He-azwj Commanded them-asws, so they-asws glorified (Allah-azwj) and the inhabitants of the earth glorified to their-asws glorification. So, they-asws were the clarifiers for them and they-asws were the glorifier for them.

They-asws are the People-asws of the Household. Allah-azwj Honoured them-asws with His-azwj Secrets, and Ennobled them with His-azwj Prestige, and Honoured them-asws with the guidance, and Affirmed them with the Revelation.
وَ جَعَلَهُمْ أَئِمَّةَ هُدًى وَ نُوراً فِي الظُّلَمِ لِلنَّجَاةِ وَ اخْتَصَّهُمْ لِدِينِهِ وَ فَضَّلَهُمْ بِعِلْمِهِ وَ آتَاهُمْ ما لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْعالَمِينَ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ عِمَاداً لِدِينِهِ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعاً لِمَكْنُونِ سِرِّهِ وَ أُمَنَاءَ عَلَى وَحْيِهِ وَ نُجَبَاءَ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ وَ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ

Allah-azwj Chose them-asws and Gifted them-asws, and Specialised them-asws, and Chose them-asws, and Merited them-asws, and Selected them-asws, and Appointed them-asws, and Picked them-asws, and Made them-asws for Emirs for the countries and the servants, and pointers upon the path for the community. They-asws are the Imams-asws of guidance, and callers to the piety, and the Exalted Word of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj great Divine Authorities.
وَ هُمُ النَّجَاةُ وَ الزُّلْفَى هُمُ الْخِيَرَةُ الْكِرَامُ الْأَصْفِيَاءُ الْحُكَّامُ هُمُ النُّجُومُ الْأَعْلَامُ هُمُ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ هُمُ السَّبِيلُ الْأَقْوَمُ الرَّاغِبُ عَنْهُمْ مَارِقٌ وَ الْمُقَصِّرُ عَنْهُمْ زَاهِقٌ وَ اللَّازِمُ لَهُمْ لَاحِقٌ
And they-asws are the salvation, and the ‘Zulfa’ (a means to draw closer to Allah-azwj), they-asws are the Prestigious Choice, the Elites, the Judges. They-asws are the stars, the Signs, they-asws are the Straight Path (to Allah-azwj), they-asws are the most righteous way. The one turning away from them-asws is a renegade, and the reducer about them-asws would vanish, and the one needy of them-asws would catch up (with Salvation).
نُورُ اللَّهِ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْبِحَارُ السَّائِغَةُ لِلشَّارِبِينَ أَمْنٌ لِمَنِ الْتَجَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ أَمَانٌ لِمَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَدْعُونَ وَ لَهُ يُسَلِّمُونَ وَ بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ وَ بِكِتَابِهِ يَحْكُمُونَ
(They-asws are) Noor (Light) of Allah-azwj in the hearts of the Momineen, and the palatable ocean for the drinkers (of Knowledge), a security for the one who shelters to them-asws, and a safety for the one who attaches with them-asws. They-asws call to Allah-azwj and to Him-azwj they-asws are submitting, and are acting by His-azwj Command, and judging by His-azwj Book.
مِنْهُمْ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَسُولَهُ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ هَبَطَتْ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ سَكِينَتُهُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ بُعِثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ مَنّاً مِنَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَضَّلَهُمْ بِهِ وَ خَصَّهُمْ

They-asws are those Allah-azwj Obligated their-asws cordiality and their-asws Wilayah upon every Muslim man and Muslim woman, so He-azwj Said in the Decisive of His-azwj Book to His-azwj Prophet-saww: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, except for the cordiality to be for my relatives’. And one who earns good, We will Increase the good for him therein. Surely, Allah is Forgiving, Grateful [42:23]’.

And he-asws said: ‘The Trials of the people are significantly (difficult) regarding us-asws. If we-asws call them they do not respond to us-asws, but if we-asws leave them, they do not get guided (through) others’’.[282]

(The book) ‘Basharat al Mustafa’ – Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abdul Samad, from his father, from his grandfather, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Al Sha’rany, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Bin Yaqoub, from Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Al Husayn Bin Nasr Bin Muzahim, from Ibrahim Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Hakeem, from Jabir Bin Yazeed,
‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘O you people! The People-asws of the Household of your Prophet-saww are such that Allah-azwj Ennobled them-asws by His-azwj Prestige, and Made them-asws keepers of His-azwj Secrets, and the Entrusted them-asws His-azwj Knowledge. Thus, they-asws are the pillars of His-azwj Religion, witnesses of His-azwj Knowledge. Allah-azwj Formed them-asws before His-azwj creation, and Shaded them-asws beneath His-azwj Throne, and Chose them-asws. So He-azwj Made them (to have the) knowledge of His-azwj servants, and Pointed them upon His-azwj Way. Thus, they-asws are the Guided Imams-asws and the guide of the righteous, and the Median Imams-asws.
عِصْمَةٌ لِمَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ نَجَاةٌ لِمَنِ اعْتَمَدَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَغْتَبِطُ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ وَ يَهْلِكُ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ وَ يَفُوزُ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِمْ فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتِ الرِّسَالَةُ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ هَبَطَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ نَفَثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ وَ آتَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ما لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْعالَمِينَ
Preservation is for the ones who seek shelter to them-asws and salvation is for the ones who rely upon them-asws. Exultation is for the one who befriends them-asws and destruction is for the one, who is inimical to them-asws, and he would be successful, the one who attaches with them-asws. The Message was Revealed regarding them-asws, and the Angels descended upon them-asws, and the Trustworthy Spirit blew to them-asws, and they-asws have been Given what is not Given to anyone from the universe.
فَهُمُ الْفُرُوعُ الطَّيِّبَةُ وَ الشَّجَرَةُ الْمُبَارَكَةُ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْبَرَكَةِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً.
So they-asws are the good branches, and the Blessed tree, and the mine of Knowledge, and the receptacle of the Message, and the interchange of the Angels, and they-asws are the People-asws of the Household of the Mercy and the Blessings, and those from whom Allah-azwj Kept Away the uncleanness and Purified them-asws with a Purification’’.[284]

Tafseer Furaat Bin Ibrahim – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Hisham transmitting,
‘From Al-Hassan Bin Ali-asws having praised Allah-azwj the Exalted and extolled upon Him-azwj and said: ‘And (as for) the foremost, the first ones from the Emigrants and the Helpers, and those who followed them with goodness [9:100]. So if the former ones have a merit over those who came after them, similarly for Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws there is a merit over the former ones for being before the former ones.
وَ قَالَ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ وَ اسْتَجَابَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ وَاسَاهُ بِنَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ عَمُّهُ حَمْزَةُ سَيِّدُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ قَدْ كَانَ قُتِلَ مَعَهُ كَثِيرٌ فَكَانَ حَمْزَةُ سَيِّدَهُمْ بِقَرَابَتِهِ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And said: Are you considering the quencher of the pilgrims and the maintainer of the Sacred Masjid as being the like the one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and fights in the Way of Allah? [9:19], and He-azwj Answered for Rasool-Allah-saww and made him-asws (Ali-asws) to be equal his-saww self. Then his-saww uncle Hamza-as, Chief of the martyrs, and he-as had killed a lot (of Polytheists) alongside him-saww, and Hamza-as was their chief due to his-as nearness from Rasool-Allah-saww.
ثُمَّ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِجَعْفَرٍ جَنَاحَيْنِ يَطِيرُ بِهِمَا مَعَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ وَ ذَلِكَ لِمَكَانِهِمَا وَ قَرَابَتِهِمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَنْزِلَتِهِمَا مِنْهُ وَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى حَمْزَةَ سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً مِنْ بَيْنِ الشُّهَدَاءِ الَّذِينَ اسْتُشْهِدُوا مَعَهُ
Then Allah-azwj Made two wings to be for Ja’far-as to fly with these with the Angels in the Paradise wherever he-as so desires to, and that is due to their position and their nearness from Rasool-Allah-saww and their status from him-saww; and Rasool-Allah-saww prayed seventy Salats upon Hamza-as from between the martyrs, those who had been martyred with him-ra.
وَ جَعَلَ لِنِسَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَضْلًا عَلَى غَيْرِهِنَّ لِمَكَانِهِنَّ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ فَضَّلَ اللَّهُ الصَّلَاةَ فِي مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ص بِأَلْفِ صَلَاةٍ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْمَسَاجِدِ إِلَّا الْمَسْجِدَ الَّذِي بَنَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ النَّبِيُّ بِمَكَّةَ لِمَكَانِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
And He-azwj Made for the wives of the Prophet-saww over others due to their position from Rasool-Allah-saww; and Allah-azwj Merited the Salat prayed in the Masjid of the Prophet-saww with a thousand Salats prayed in the rest of the Masjids, except the Masjid which the Prophet Ibrahim-as built at Makkah, due to the position of Rasool-Allah-saww;
وَ فَضْلِهِ وَ عِلْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ قُولُوا
And Merited him-saww and Rasool-Allah-saww taught, so he-saww said:
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
‘Say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww just as You-azwj had Sent upon Ibrahim-as and progeny of Ibrahim-as, You-azwj are the Praised, the Glorious’’.
فَحَقُّنَا عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْنَا مَعَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ فَرِيضَةٌ وَاجِبَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لِرَسُولِهِ الْغَنِيمَةَ وَ أَحَلَّهَا لَنَا وَ حَرَّمَ الصَّدَقَاتِ عَلَيْهِ وَ حَرَّمَهَا عَلَيْنَا كَرَامَةً أَكْرَمَنَا اللَّهُ بِهَا وَ فَضِيلَةً فَضَّلَنَا اللَّهُ بِهَا.
Thus, our-asws right upon every Muslim is that he sends Salawat upon us-asws along with the Salawat upon him-saww, being a necessary Obligation from Allah-azwj; and Allah-azwj Permitted the way booty for His-azwj Rasool-saww and Permitted it for us-asws, and Prohibited the charities unto him-saww and Prohibited it unto us-asws, as a prestige Allah-azwj Honoured us-asws with it, and a merit Allah-azwj Merited us-asws with it’’.[285]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of the Exalted: Surely in that are Signs for the possessors of intellect [20:54]. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! We-asws are the possessors of the intellect, and we-asws are the custodians of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj treasurers upon His-azwj Religion, and His-azwj, we-asws veil it and conceal it from our-asws enemies, just as Rasool-Allah-saww had concealed it until Allah-azwj Permitted for him-saww regarding the emigration and fighting the Polytheists.
فَنَحْنُ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى يَأْذَنَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَنَا بِإِظْهَارِ دِينِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ وَ نَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَيْهِ وَ نَضْرِبُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ عَوْداً كَمَا ضَرَبَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بَدْءاً.
We-asws will be upon the manifesto of Rasool-Allah-saww until Allah-azwj Permits for us-asws with the manifestation of His-azwj Religion with the sword, and we-asws shall call the people to it and we-asws shall strike them upon it again just as Rasool-Allah-saww had struck them in the beginning’’.[286]

The People-asws of the household of your Prophet-saww, Allah-azwj Ennobled them with His-azwj Prestige, and Cherished them-asws with His-azwj Guidance, and Selected them-asws for His-azwj Religion, and Graced them-asws with His-azwj Knowledge, and Protected them-asws and Entrusted them-asws His-azwj Knowledge upon His-azwj hidden matters.
فَهُمْ عِمَادٌ لِدِينِهِ شُهَدَاءُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَوْتَادٌ فِي أَرْضِهِ قُوَّامٌ بِأَمْرِهِ بَرَأَهُمْ قَبْلَ خَلْقِهِ أَظِلَّةٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ عَرْشِهِ نُجَبَاءُ فِي عِلْمِهِ اخْتَارَهُمْ وَ انْتَجَبَهُمْ وَ ارْتَضَاهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُمْ عَلَماً لِعِبَادِهِ وَ أَدِلَّاءَ لَهُمْ عَلَى صِرَاطِهِ
They-asws are the pillars of His-azwj Religion, witnesses upon it, and pegs in His-azwj earth, standing with His-azwj Command. He-azwj Formed them-asws before His-azwj creatures as shadows on the right of His-azwj Throne, virtuous in His-azwj Knowledge. He-azwj Chose them-asws, and Selected them-asws, and Nominated them-asws and Made them-asws as flags for His-azwj servants and pointers for them upon His-azwj Path.
فَهُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ الدُّعَاةُ وَ الْقَادَةُ الْهَادِيَةُ وَ الْقُضَاةُ الْحُكَّامُ وَ النُّجُومُ الْأَعْلَامُ وَ الْأُسْرَةُ الْمُتَخَيَّرَةُ وَ الْعِتْرَةُ الْمُطَهَّرَةُ وَ الْأُمَّةُ الْوُسْطَى وَ الصِّرَاطُ الْأَعْلَمُ وَ السَّبِيلُ الْأَقْوَمُ زِينَةُ النُّجَبَاءِ وَ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ هُمُ الرَّحِمُ الْمَوْصُولَةُ وَ الْكَهْفُ الْحَصِينُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ نُورُ أَبْصَارِ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ عِصْمَةٌ لِمَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ أَمْنٌ لِمَنِ اسْتَجَارَ بِهِمْ وَ نَجَاةٌ لِمَنْ تَبِعَهُمْ
They-asws are the Imams-asws of guidance, the callers, and the guiding guides, and the judges, the deciders, and the flagship stars, and the chosen family, and the purified family, and the intermediary Imams-asws, and the flags of the path, and the straight Way (to Allah-azwj), adornment of the virtuous, and inheritors of the Prophets-as, and they-asws are the relatives to be connected with, and the fortified cave for the Momineen, and light of the eyes, the Guided ones, and a protection for the ones who shelter to them-asws, and a safety for the ones to seek refuge with them-asws, and salvation for the one who follows them-asws.
يَغْتَبِطُ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ وَ يَهْلِكُ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ وَ يَفُوزُ مَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِمْ وَ الرَّاغِبُ مِنْهُمْ مَارِقٌ وَ اللَّازِمُ لَهُمْ لَاحِقٌ وَ هُمُ الْبَابُ الْمُبْتَلَى بِهِ مَنْ أَتَاهُ نَجَا وَ مَنْ أَبَاهُ هَوَى حِطَّةٌ لِمَنْ دَخَلَهُ وَ حُجَّةٌ عَلَى مَنْ تَرَكَهُ
Joyful is the one who befriends them, and destroyed is the one who is inimical to them-asws, and successful is the one who adheres with them-asws, and the one who turns away from them-asws is a renegade, and the one adhering to them-asws would catch up; and they-asws are the door to be Tried with, one who comes to it would attain salvation, and one who refuses would collapse, a (door of) Hitta for the one who enters it, and an argument against the one who neglects it.
إِلَى اللَّهِ يَدْعُونَ وَ بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ وَ بِكِتَابِهِ يَحْكُمُونَ وَ بِآيَاتِهِ يَرْشُدُونَ فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ رِسَالَتُهُ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ هَبَطَتْ مَلَائِكَتُهُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ نَفَثَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ فَضْلًا مِنْهُ وَ رَحْمَةً
They-asws are calling to Allah-azwj, and by His-azwj Command they are working, and by His-azwj Book they-asws are judging, and by His-azwj Signs they-asws are guiding. His-azwj Message descended among them-asws, and His-azwj Angels descended upon them-asws, and the Trustworthy Spirit assists them-asws as a Grace from Him-azwj and a Mercy.
وَ آتَاهُمْ ما لَمْ يُؤْتِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْعالَمِينَ فَعِنْدَهُمْ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مَا يَلْتَمِسُونَ وَ يَفْتَقِرُ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ الشَّاقِ وَ الْهُدَى مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ النُّورِ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ الظُّلَمِ
And He-azwj Gave them-asws what He-azwj did not Give to anyone from the worlds. Thus, with them-asws, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, is what they (people) are seeking and are lacking and are needy to, from the knowledge, and the Covenant, and the guidance from the straying, and the light during the entry into the darkness.
فَهُمُ الْفُرُوعُ الطَّيِّبَةُ وَ الشَّجَرَةُ الْمُبَارَكَةُ وَ مَعْدِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الْحِلْمِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَهُمْ أَهْلُ بَيْتِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْبَرَكَةِ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً.
They are the goodly branch, and the Blessed tree, and the mine of knowledge, and end-point of the forbearance, and place of the Message, and interchange of the Angels. They-asws are the People-asws of the household of mercy, and the blessings. Allah-azwj Removed the uncleanness form them-asws and Purified them-asws with a Purification’’.[287]

O Mufazzal! A Determination has preceded from Allah-azwj that He-azwj will not Accept from anyone except through us-asws, nor Punish anyone except through us-asws. We-asws are a Door of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Divine Authorities, and His-azwj trustees upon His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj treasurers in His-azwj sky and His-azwj earth.
حَلَّلْنَا عَنِ اللَّهِ وَ حَرَّمْنَا عَنِ اللَّهِ لَا نَحْتَجِبُ عَنِ اللَّهِ إِذَا شِئْنَا وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى وَ ما تَشاؤُنَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَشاءَ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ قَلْبَ وَلِيِّهِ وَكْراً لِإِرَادَتِهِ فَإِذَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ شِئْنَا.
We-asws permit on behalf of Allah-azwj and we-asws prohibit on behalf of Allah-azwj. We-asws are not veiled from Allah-azwj when we-asws desire, and it is the Word of the Exalted: And you (Imams) are not desiring except if Allah so Desires. [76:30], and it is his-saww word that Allah-azwj Made the heart of His-azwj Guardian-asws as a nest of His-azwj Intentions, so whenever Allah-azwj Desires, we-asws desire (the same desire)’’.[288]

‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘One who has a need for him to Allah-azwj and wants to see us-asws and recognise his place (in the Presence) of Allah-azwj, then let him wash for three nights for a secret conversation (Munajaat) with us-asws, so he will see us-asws, and he (his sins) would be Forgiven for him by us-asws, and his place (in the Hereafter) would not be hidden unto him’.
قُلْتُ سَيِّدِي فَإِنَّ رَجُلًا رَآكَ فِي مَنَامِهِ وَ هُوَ يَشْرَبُ النَّبِيذَ قَالَ لَيْسَ النَّبِيذُ يُفْسِدُ عَلَيْهِ دِينَهُ إِنَّمَا يُفْسِدُ عَلَيْهِ تَرْكُنَا وَ تَخَلُّفُهُ عَنَّا إِنَّ أَشْقَى أَشْقِيَائِكُمْ مَنْ يُكَذِّبُنَا فِي الْبَاطِنِ مِمَّا يُخْبِرُ عَنَّا وَ يُصَدِّقُنَا فِي الظَّاهِرِ
I said, ‘O my Master-asws! Supposing a man sees you-asws in his dream and he drinks the Nabeez (alcohol)?’ He-asws said: ‘The Nabeez will not spoil his Religion upon him, but rather neglecting us-asws and staying behind from us-asws would spoil it upon him. Surely, the most wretched of your wretched ones, is the one who belies us in the hidden from what he has been informed about us-asws, and he ratified us-asws in the apparent.
نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ وَ أَبْنَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَبْنَاءُ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَحْبَابُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ نَحْنُ مِفْتَاحُ الْكِتَابِ بِنَا نَطَقَ الْعُلَمَاءُ وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَخَرِسُوا
We-asws are sons-asws of the Prophets-as of Allah-azwj, and sons-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and sons-asws of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and beloved ones of Lord-azwj of the worlds. We-asws are keys of the Book, so due to us-asws the scholars speak, and had it not been that, they would have been muted.
نَحْنُ رَفَعْنَا الْمَنَارَ وَ عَرَفْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ نَحْنُ حَجَرُ الْبَيْتِ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ بِنَا غُفِرَ لآِدَمَ وَ بِنَا ابْتُلِيَ أَيُّوبُ وَ بِنَا افْتُقِدَ يَعْقُوبُ وَ بِنَا حُبِسَ يُوسُفُ وَ بِنَا رُفِعَ الْبَلَاءُ وَ بِنَا أَضَاءَتِ الشَّمْسُ
We-asws raised the minarets and introduced the Qiblah. We-asws are the (corner) stones of the House in the sky and the earth. Adam-as was Forgiven due to us-asws, and by us-asws Ayoub-as was Tried, and by us-asws Yaqoub-as searched, and by us-asws Yunus-as was withheld, and by us-asws afflictions are raised, and by us-asws the sun illuminates.

We-asws (our-asws names) are written upon the Throne of our-asws Lord-azwj, written as: ‘Muhammad-saww is the best of the Prophets-as, and Ali-asws is chief of the successors-asws and (Syeda) Fatima-asws is chieftess of the women of the worlds’’.[289]

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisas’ – Al Husayn Bin Al Hassan, from bakr Bin Salih, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘I-asws am the guide, the Guided, and the father of orphans, and caretaker of the widows and the poor, and I-asws am a shelter of every weak one and a safety of every fearful one, and I-asws am a guide of the Momineen to the Paradise, and I-asws am the strong rope of Allah-azwj, and I-asws am the firmest Handhold of Allah-azwj, and I-asws am the eye of Allah-azwj and His-azwj truthful tongue, and His-azwj hand.
وَ أَنَا جَنْبُهُ الَّذِي تَقُولُ نَفْسٌ يا حَسْرَتى عَلى ما فَرَّطْتُ فِي جَنْبِ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا يَدُ اللَّهِ الْمَبْسُوطَةُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ أَنَا بَابُ حِطَّةٍ مَنْ عَرَفَنِي وَ عَرَفَ حَقِّي فَقَدْ عَرَفَ رَبَّهُ لِأَنِّي وَصِيُّ نَبِيِّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ وَ حُجَّتُهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ لَا يُنْكِرُ هَذَا إِلَّا رَادٌّ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ.
And I-asws am His-azwj Side which the soul would be saying: ‘O regret, upon what I wasted regarding the Side of Allah [39:56], and I-asws am the hand of Allah-azwj extended with the mercy and the forgiveness, and I-asws am the door of Hitta (Mercy)[291]. One who recognises me-asws and recognises my-asws right, so he has recognised his Lord-azwj, because I-asws am the successor-asws of His-azwj Prophet-saww in His-azwj earth, and His-azwj Divine Authority upon His-azwj creatures. None would deny this except a repeller upon Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww’’.[292]
36- أَقُولُ رَوَى الْبُرْسِيُّ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَنْوَارِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: خَرَجَ يَوْماً وَ مَعَهُ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ فَخَطَبَ النَّاسَ ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ عِتْرَةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ وَ خُلَفَاؤُهُ
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Al Bursy in (the book) ‘Mashariq Al Anwaar’ – From Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansary,
‘From the Prophet-saww he (the narrator) said: ‘He-saww came out one day and with him-saww were Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws. He-saww addressed the people, then said in his-saww sermon: ‘O you people! They-asws are family of your Prophet-saww, and People-asws of his-saww Household, and his-saww offspring, and His-azwj caliphs.
شَرَّفَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِكَرَامَتِهِ وَ اسْتَوْدَعَهُمْ سِرَّهُ وَ اسْتَحْفَظَهُمْ غَيْبَهُ وَ اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ عِبَادَهُ وَ أَطْلَعَهُمْ عَلَى مَكْنُونِ أَمْرِهِ وَ لَقَّنَهُمْ حِكْمَتَهُ وَ وَلَّاهُمْ أَمْرَ عِبَادِهِ وَ أَمَّرَهُمْ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ اصْطَفَاهُمْ لِتَنْزِيلِ وَحْيِهِ
Allah-azwj has Ennobled them-asws by His-azwj prestige and Entrusted them-asws with his-asws secrets, and Kept His-azwj hidden matters safe with them-asws, and Notified them-asws upon His-azwj hidden matters, and Indoctrinated them-asws with His-azwj Wisdom, and Made them-asws to be in charge of the affairs of His-azwj servants, and Made them-asws Emirs upon His-azwj creatures, and Chose them-asws for the descent of His-azwj Revelation;
وَ أَخْدَمَهُمْ مَلَائِكَتَهُ وَ صَرَفَهُمْ فِي مَمْلَكَتِهِ وَ ارْتَضَاهُمْ لِسِرِّهِ وَ اجْتَبَاهُمْ لِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَ اخْتَارَهُمْ لِأَمْرِهِ وَ جَعَلَهُمْ أَعْلَاماً لِدِينِهِ وَ شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ وَ أُمَنَاءَ فِي بِلَادِهِ
And Got His-azwj Angels to serve them-asws, and Gave them regarding His-azwj Kingdom, and Nominated them-asws for His-azwj secrets, and Selected them-asws for His-azwj Words, and Chose them-asws for His-azwj Commands, and Made them-asws as flags for His-azwj Religion, and as witnesses upon His-azwj servants, and a safety regarding His-azwj cities.
فَهُمُ الْأَئِمَّةُ الْمَهْدِيَّةُ وَ الْعِتْرَةُ الزَّكِيَّةُ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةُ النَّبَوِيَّةُ وَ السَّادَةُ الْعَلَوِيَّةُ وَ الْأُمَّةُ الْوُسْطَى وَ الْكَلِمَةُ الْعُلْيَا وَ سَادَةُ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الرَّحْمَةُ الْمَوْصُولَةُ عِصْمَةٌ لِمَنْ لَجَأَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ نَجَاةٌ لِمَنْ تَمَسَّكَ بِهِمْ
They-asws are the Imams-asws, the Guided, and the pure family, and the offspring of Prophet-hood, and the exalted chiefs, and the intermediary community, and the lofty word, and chiefs of the people of the worlds, and the mercy connected as a protection for the ones who shelter to them-asws, and salvation for the ones who adhere with them-asws.
سَعِدَ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ وَ شَقِيَ مَنْ عَادَاهُمْ مَنْ تَلَاهُمْ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَهُمْ ضَلَّ وَ خَابَ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَدْعُونَ وَ عَنْهُ يَقُولُونَ وَ بِأَمْرِهِ يَعْمَلُونَ فِي أَبْيَاتِهِمْ هَبَطَ التَّنْزِيلُ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ بُعِثَ الْأَمِينُ جَبْرَئِيلُ.
Fortunate is the one who befriends them-asws, and wretched is the one who is inimical to them-asws. One who follows them-asws would be safe from the punishment, and one who stays behind from them-asws would stray and incur loss. They-asws are calling to Allah-azwj and they-asws are speaking on His-azwj behalf, and by His-azwj Commands they are working. The Revelation descended in their-asws houses, and to them-asws Jibraeel-as is Sent’’.[293]
37- وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: نَحْنُ جَنْبُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ خِيَرَةُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ مُسْتَوْدَعُ مَوَارِيثِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ نَحْنُ أُمَنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ وَ نَحْنُ آيَةُ الْهُدَى وَ نَحْنُ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى
And it is reported from Muhammad Bin Sinan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘We-asws are the Side (Closeness) of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the Elites of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the Choice of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the depositories of the inheritances of the Prophets-as, and we-asws are the trustees of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the Face of Allah-azwj, and we-asws are the Sign of Guidance, and we-asws are the Firmest Handhold.
وَ بِنَا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ وَ بِنَا خَتَمَ اللَّهُ وَ نَحْنُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ نَحْنُ الْآخِرُونَ وَ نَحْنُ أَخْيَارُ الدَّهْرِ وَ نَوَامِيسُ الْعَصْرِ وَ نَحْنُ سَادَةُ الْعِبَادِ وَ سَاسَةُ الْبِلَادِ وَ نَحْنُ النَّهْجُ الْقَوِيمُ وَ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ وَ نَحْنُ عِلَّةُ الْوُجُودِ وَ حُجَّةُ الْمَعْبُودِ
And Allah-azwj Began with us-asws and Allah-azwj will End with us-asws, and we-asws are the former ones, and we-asws are the latter ones, and we-asws are the good ones of all time, and laws of the era, and we-asws are chiefs of the servants and managers of the cities, and we-asws are the peak of straightness, and the straight path, and we-asws are the reason for the existence, and Divine Authorities of the Deity.
لَا يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ جَهِلَ حَقَّنَا وَ نَحْنُ قَنَادِيلُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَصَابِيحُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ نَحْنُ نُورُ الْأَنْوَارِ وَ كَلِمَةُ الْجَبَّارِ وَ نَحْنُ رَايَةُ الْحَقِّ الَّتِي مَنْ تَبِعَهَا نَجَا وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهَا هَوَى وَ نَحْنُ أَئِمَّةُ الدِّينِ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ نَحْنُ مَعْدِنُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَوْضِعُ الرِّسَالَةِ
Allah-azwj does not Accept the work of a worker ignorant of our-asws rights, and we-asws are lamps of the Prophet-hood and lanterns of the Message, and we-asws are light of the lights, and Word of the Subduer, and we-asws are the flag of truth which one who follows it will attain salvation, and one who is delayed from it will collapse, and we-asws are the Imams-asws of the Religion, and guides of the resplendent, and we-asws are the mine of Prophet-hood, and place of the Message;
وَ إِلَيْنَا تَخْتَلِفُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ نَحْنُ سِرَاجٌ لِمَنِ اسْتَضَاءَ وَ السَّبِيلُ لِمَنِ اهْتَدَى وَ نَحْنُ الْقَادَةُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَ نَحْنُ الْجُسُورُ وَ الْقَنَاطِرُ وَ نَحْنُ السَّنَامُ الْأَعْظَمُ
And to us-asws the Angels inter-change, and we-asws are a lamp for the ones wants to be illuminated, and the way for the one seeking guidance, and we-asws are the guided to the Paradise, and we-asws are the bridges and the archways, and we-asws are the greatest pinnacle.
وَ بِنَا يَنْزِلُ الْغَيْثُ وَ بِنَا يَنْزِلُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ بِنَا يُدْفَعُ الْعَذَابُ وَ النَّقِمَةُ فَمَنْ سَمِعَ هَذَا الْهُدَى فَلْيَتَفَقَّدْ فِي قَلْبِهِ حُبَّنَا فَإِنْ وَجَدَ فِيهِ الْبُغْضَ لَنَا وَ الْإِنْكَارَ لِفَضْلِنَا فَقَدْ ضَلَّ عَنْ سَوَاءِ السَّبِيلِ لِأَنَّا حُجَّةُ الْمَعْبُودِ وَ تَرْجُمَانُ وَحْيِهِ وَ عَيْبَةُ عِلْمِهِ وَ مِيزَانُ قِسْطِهِ
And the rains descend due to us-asws, and the Mercy descends due to us-asws, and due to us-asws the punishments and the scourges are defended from. So, the one who hears this guidance, then let him inspect his heart for our-asws love. If he finds the hatred for us-asws in it and the denial of our-asws merits, so he has strayed from the even way, because we-asws are Divine Authorities of the Deity, and interpreters of His-azwj Revelation, and containers of His-azwj Knowledge, and the scale of equity;
وَ نَحْنُ فُرُوعُ الزَّيْتُونَةِ وَ رَبَائِبُ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَ نَحْنُ مِصْبَاحُ الْمِشْكَاةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا نُورُ النُّورِ وَ نَحْنُ صَفْوَةُ الْكَلِمَةِ الْبَاقِيَةِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْحَشْرِ الْمَأْخُوذِ لَهَا الْمِيثَاقُ وَ الْوَلَايَةُ مِنَ الذَّرِّ.
And we-asws are the olive branches, and prestigious righteous nourishers, and we-asws are the lamps in a niche wherein is light, Al-Noor of the Lord-azwj, and we-asws are the Elites, the Word to remain up to the Day of Resurrection to which the Covenant and the Wilayat was Taken from the particles’’.[294]
38- وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ خَطَبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ نَحْنُ أَبْوَابُ الحِكْمَةِ وَ مَفَاتِيحُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ سَادَةُ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَ أُمَنَاءُ الْكِتَابِ وَ فَصْلُ الْخِطَابِ وَ بِنَا يُثِيبُ اللَّهُ وَ بِنَا يُعَاقِبُ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ عَظُمَ إِحْسَانُهُ وَ رَجَحَ مِيزَانُهُ وَ قُبِلَ عَمَلُهُ وَ غُفِرَ زَلَلُهُ وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَنَا لَا يَنْفَعُهُ إِسْلَامُهُ
And it is reported from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws addressed saying: ‘O you people! We-asws are the doors of wisdom, and keys of mercy, and chief of the Imams, and trustees of the Book, and the decisive address, and Allah-azwj will Reward by us-asws, and Punish by us-asws. One who loves us-asws, People-asws of the Household, He-azwj would Magnify his good deeds, Outweigh his scale and Accept his deeds, and Forgive his slips; and one who hates us-asws, his Islam would not benefit him.
وَ إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ خَصَّنَا اللَّهُ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ الْعِصْمَةِ مِنَّا خَاتَمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّنَا رَايَةُ الْحَقِّ مَنْ تَلَاهَا سَبَقَ وَ مَنْ تَأَخَّرَ عَنْهَا مَرَقَ
And we-asws, People-asws of the Household, Allah-azwj Specialised us-asws with the Mercy, and the Wisdom, and the Prophet-saww, and the infallibility. From us-asws is the last of the Prophets-as. Indeed! And we-asws are the flags of truth, one who follows it would be foremost and one who delays from it would be a renegade.
أَلَا وَ إِنَّنَا خِيَرَةُ اللَّهِ اصْطَفَانَا عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ ائْتَمَنَنَا عَلَى وَحْيِهِ فَنَحْنُ الْهُدَاةُ الْمَهْدِيُّونَ وَ لَقَدْ عُلِّمْتُ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَ لَقَدْ عَهِدَ إِلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا كَانَ وَ مَا يَكُونُ وَ أَنَا أَخُو رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ خَازِنُ عِلْمِهِ أَنَا الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ لَا يَقُولُهَا غَيْرِي إِلَّا مُفْتَرٍ كَذَّابٌ وَ أَنَا الْفَارُوقُ الْأَعْظَمُ.
Indeed! And we-asws are the Choice of Allah-azwj. He-azwj Chose us-asws over His-azwj creatures and Entrusted us-asws upon His-azwj Revelation. We-asws are the guides, the Guided ones, and I-asws know the words, and Rasool-Allah-saww had pacted to me-asws whatever had happened and what is to happen, and I-asws am the brother-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and a treasurer of his-saww knowledge. I-asws am the greatest truthful, and no one other than me-asws can say it except a fabricating liar, and I-asws am the greatest differentiator’’.[295]

(The book) ‘Al-Tawheed’ – Ibn Al Mutawwak, from Al Himeyri, from Ibn Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdul Al Aziz, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj is One, First, Alone with the Oneness, Individual with His-azwj Command. He-azwj Created creatures and Delegate to them-asws the matters of His-azwj Religion. We-asws are they, O Ibn Abu Yafour! We-asws are the Divine Authorities of Allah-azwj among His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj witnesses over His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj trustees upon His-azwj Revelation, and treasurers upon His-azwj Knowledge, and His-azwj Face which He-azwj can be accessed from, and His-azwj eye among His-azwj created beings, and His-azwj speaking tongue, and His-azwj door which points to Him-azwj.

We-asws are the knower(s) of His-azwj Commands, and the callers to His-azwj Way. Through us-asws Allah-azwj is recognised, and through us-asws Allah-azwj is worshipped. We-asws are the pointers to Allah-azwj, and had it not been for us-asws, Allah-azwj would not be worshipped’’.[296]

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ibn Jabala, from Al Batainy, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Can you narrate to me with a Hadeeth regarding you (Imams-asws)?’ He-asws said: ‘We-asws are the Masters of the Commands of Allah-azwj and inheritors of the Revelation of Allah-azwj and family of the Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj’’.[297]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Batreeq, from Tafseer Al Sa’alby, by his chain from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘We-asws are the sons-asws of Abdul Muttalib-as, chiefs of the inhabitants of the Paradise, I-saww, and Hamza-as, and Ali-asws, and Ja’far-as, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and Al-Mahdi-asws’’.[298]

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – Al Khaleel bin Ahmad, from Ibn Manie, from Mus’ab, from Malik, from Abu Abdul Rahman, from Hafs Bin Aasim, from Abu Saeed al Khudry, or from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator) who said,
‘He-saww said: ‘Seven, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Shade them in a shade on a Day there will be no shade except His-azwj shade – a just Imam-asws, and a youth growing in worship of Allah-azwj Mighty and majestic, and a man whose heart clings with the Masjid when he comes out from it until he returns to it, and two men who were in obedience of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and they gathered upon that and separated;
وَ رَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَالِياً فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَ رَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ حَسَبٍ وَ جَمَالٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ وَ رَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لَا تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ مَا يَتَصَدَّقُ بِيَمِينِهِ.
And a man mentioning Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in private and his eyes overflowed, and a man invited by a woman with prestige and beauty but he said, ‘I fear Allah-azwj’, and a man who gave in charity so secretly to the extent that his left hand did not know what was given in charity by his right hand’’.[299]

Kitab Al Mukhtasar of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman –
It is reported that it was found in the handwriting of our Master Muhammad-asws Al-Askari-asws: ‘I-asws seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from a people who deleted the Decisive (Verses) of the Book (Quran), and forgot Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the lords, and the Prophet-saww, and quencher of Al-Kawser during the pausing for the Reckoning, and the fire, and the great calamity, and bliss of the house of Rewards.
فَنَحْنُ السَّنَامُ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ فِينَا النُّبُوَّةُ وَ الْوَلَايَةُ وَ الْكَرَمُ وَ نَحْنُ مَنَارُ الْهُدَى وَ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كَانُوا يَقْتَبِسُونَ مِنْ أَنْوَارِنَا وَ يَقْتَفُونَ آثَارَنَا وَ سَيَظْهَرُ حُجَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ بِالسَّيْفِ الْمَسْلُولِ لِإِظْهَارِ الْحَقِّ
We-asws are the greatest pinnacle, and among us-asws is the Prophet-hood, and the Wilayah, and the Honour, and we-asws are the minarets of guidance, and the firmest handhold, and the Prophets-as used to amass from our-asws Noors (lights), and tracking our-asws traces, and the Divine Authority of Allah-azwj upon the creatures will appear with the sword, the one responsible for revealing the truth’.
وَ هَذَا خَطُّ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.
And this is the handwriting of Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws’’.[307]
51- وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ وُجِدَ أَيْضاً بِخَطِّهِ ع مَا صُورَتُهُ قَدْ صَعِدْنَا ذُرَى الْحَقَائِقِ بِأَقْدَامِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ الْوَلَايَةِ وَ نُورُنَا سَبْعُ طَبَقَاتٍ أَعْلَامُ الْفَتْوَى بِالْهِدَايَةِ فَنَحْنُ لُيُوثُ الْوَغَى وَ غُيُوثُ النَّدَى وَ طَعَّانُ الْعِدَى
And it is reported that it was found as well in his-asws handwriting what I copied: ‘We-asws have ascended the lofty realities with the feet of Prophet-hood and the Wilayah, and our-asws Noor (light) is of seven layers, knowing the verdicts with the guidance. We-asws are the lions of battle, and rains of generosity, and stabbers of the enemies.
وَ فِينَا السَّيْفُ وَ الْقَلَمُ فِي الْعَاجِلِ وَ لِوَاءُ الْحَمْدِ وَ الْحَوْضُ فِي الْآجِلِ وَ أَسْبَاطُنَا حُلَفَاءُ الدِّينِ وَ خُلَفَاءُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ مَصَابِيحُ الْأُمَمِ وَ مَفَاتِيحُ الْكَرَمِ فَالْكَلِيمُ أُلْبِسَ حُلَّةَ الِاصْطِفَاءِ لِمَا عَهِدْنَا مِنْهُ الْوَفَاءَ وَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ فِي جِنَانِ الصَّاقُورَةِ ذَاقَ مِنْ حَدَائِقِنَا الْبَاكُورَةِ
And among us-asws is the sword, and the pen currently, and the flag of praise and the Fountain in the future, and our-asws people are caliphs of the Religion, and caliphs of the Prophets-as, and lamps of the communities, and the keys of benevolence. The ‘Kaleem’ (Musa-as) wore the garment of the Chosen one due to what us-asws pacting the loyalty from him-as, and the Holy Spirit is in the Garden of Al-Saqoura, tasting from the fruits of our-asws orchards.
وَ شِيعَتُنَا الْفِئَةُ النَّاجِيَةُ وَ الْفِرْقَةُ الزَّاكِيَةُ وَ صَارُوا لَنَا رِدْءاً وَ صَوْناً وَ عَلَى الظَّلَمَةِ أَلْباً وَ عَوْناً وَ سَيَنْفَجِرُ لَهُمْ يَنَابِيعُ الْحَيَوَانِ بَعْدَ لَظَى النِّيرَانِ لِتَمَامِ آلِ حم وَ طه وَ الطَّوَاسِينِ مِنَ السِّنِينَ وَ هَذَا الْكِتَابُ دُرَّةٌ مِنْ دُرَرِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ قَطْرَةٌ مِنْ بَحْرِ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ كَتَبَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْعَسْكَرِيُّ فِي سَنَةِ أَرْبَعٍ وَ خَمْسِينَ وَ مِائَتَيْنِ.
And our-asws Shias are the group attaining salvation and the pure sect, and becoming a robe for us-asws and a defence, and united against the injustices, and aiders, and the springs of (river) Al-Haywaan will be burst forth for them after flames of the fires to complete the progeny of Hameem, and Taha, and the Ta Seen Meem, from the years. And this letter is a pearl from the jewels of mercy, and a drop from the ocean of wisdom, and is written by Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali Al-Askari-asws in the year two hundred and fifty four’’.[308]
52 نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أُعْطِينَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ سَبْعَةً لَمْ يُعْطَهُنَّ أَحَدٌ كَانَ قَبْلَنَا وَ لَا يُعْطَاهُنَّ أَحَدٌ بَعْدَنَا الصَّبَاحَةَ وَ الْفَصَاحَةَ وَ السَّمَاحَةَ وَ الشَّجَاعَةَ وَ الْعِلْمَ وَ الْحِلْمَ وَ الْمَحَبَّةَ فِي النِّسَاءِ.
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy, by his chain,
From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘We-asws, People-asws of the Household are Given seven (things), no one before us-asws had been given, nor will anyone after us-asws be Given – the beauty, and the eloquence, and the excusing, and the bravery, and the knowledge, and the forbearance, and the love regarding the women’’.[309]
53- نهج، نهج البلاغة قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع نَحْنُ شَجَرَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ مَحَطَّةُ الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُخْتَلَفُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ مَعَادِنُ الْعِلْمِ وَ يَنَابِيعُ الْحُكْمِ نَاصِرُنَا وَ مُحِبُّنَا يَنْتَظِرُ الرَّحْمَةَ وَ عَدُوُّنَا وَ مُبْغِضُنَا يَنْتَظِرُ السَّطْوَةَ.
(The book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ – Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘We-asws are the tree of Prophet-hood, and the harbour of the Message, and the interchange of Angels, and the mine of knowledge, and the springs of wisdom. Our-asws helper and one who loves us-asws awaits the Mercy, and our-asws enemy and one who hates us-asws awaits being subdued’’.[310]
54- وَ قَالَ ع فِي بَعْضِ خُطَبِهِ نَحْنُ الشِّعَارُ وَ الْأَصْحَابُ وَ الْخَزَنَةُ وَ الْأَبْوَابُ لَا تُؤْتَى الْبُيُوتُ إِلَّا مِنْ أَبْوَابِهَا فَمَنْ أَتَاهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ أَبْوَابِهَا سُمِّيَ سَارِقاً فِيهِمْ كَرَائِمُ الْقُرْآنِ وَ هُمْ كُنُوزُ الرَّحْمَنِ إِنْ نَطَقُوا صَدَقُوا وَ إِنْ صَمَتُوا لَمْ يُسْبَقُوا.
And he-asws said in one of his-asws sermons: ‘We-asws are the slogans, and the companions, and the treasurers, and the doors. The houses cannot be accessed except from its doors. So, the one who comes to these from other than its doors, would be named as thieves. Among them-asws are the honours, and they-asws are the treasures of the Beneficent. If they-asws speak, they-asws would be ratified, and if they-asws are silent, they would not be preceded’’.[311]
55- وَ قَالَ ع فِي خُطْبَةٍ يَذْكُرُ فِيهَا آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ هُمْ عَيْشُ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَوْتُ الْجَهْلِ يُخْبِرُكُمْ حِلْمُهُمْ عَنْ عِلْمِهِمْ وَ صَمْتُهُمْ عَنْ حُكْمِ مَنْطِقِهِمْ لَا يُخَالِفُونَ الْحَقَّ وَ لَا يَخْتَلِفُونَ فِيهِ
And he-asws said in a sermon mentioning in it the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww: ‘They-asws are the life of knowledge and death of ignorance. You are being informed of their-asws forbearance from their-asws knowledge, and their-asws silence from the wisdom of their-asws talk. They-asws neither oppose the truth nor do they-asws differ in it.
هُمْ دَعَائِمُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ وَلَائِجُ الِاعْتِصَامِ بِهِمْ عَادَ الْحَقُّ فِي نِصَابِهِ وَ انْزَاحَ الْبَاطِلُ عَنْ مُقَامِهِ وَ انْقَطَعَ لِسَانُهُ عَنْ مَنْبِتِهِ عَقَلُوا الدِّينَ عَقْلَ وِعَايَةٍ وَ رِعَايَةٍ لَا عَقْلَ سَمَاعٍ وَ رِوَايَةٍ وَ إِنَ رُوَاةَ الْعِلْمِ كَثِيرٌ وَ رُعَاتَهُ قَلِيلٌ.
They-asws are the foundations of Al-Islam, and the keys of shelter. By them-asws, the truth return to be in its spot, and the falsehood is displaced from its position, and its tongue is cut off from its base. Understand the Religion and understanding of retention, not understanding of the hearing and the reports, and surely the reporters of knowledge are many and its shepherds are few’’.[312]
