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

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

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘They (people) are reporting a Hadeeth regarding Mir’raj (Ascension) that when there was an ascension with Rasool-Allah^saww he^saww saw upon the Throne: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Abu Bakr is the truthful”’.

فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ غَيَّرُوا كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ حَتَّى هَذَا قُلْتُ نَعَمْ

He^asws said: ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj! They have changed every thing, even this!’ I said, ‘Yes’.

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

He^asws said: ‘When Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Throne, Wrote upon its foundations: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”, and when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the water, Wrote in its flow: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”;

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

And when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the Chair, Wrote upon its foundations: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”, and when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the (Guarded) Tablet, Wrote in it: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”,

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

And when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Israfeel^as, Wrote upon his^as forehead: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”, and when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Jibraeel^as, Wrote upon his^as side: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”,

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

And when Allah^azwj Created the skies, he Wrote in its horizons: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”, and when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the earths, Wrote in its layers: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”,

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

And when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the mountains, Wrote in its peaks: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”, and when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the sun, Wrote upon it: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”,

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

And when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the moon, Wrote upon it: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”, and it is the blackness which you can see in the moon.

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

Thus, whenever one of you says: ‘There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww’, then let him (immediately) say, ‘Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws is Guardian^asws of Allah^azwj’’.[1]

2- ل، الخصال لي، الأمالي للصدوق عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ غَالِبِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ عَنْ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَخُو رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ‏.

(The books) ‘Khisaal’ (and) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Ali Bin Al Fazl Bin Al Abbas, from Abu Al Hassan Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Ghalib Bin Harb and Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Abu Shayba, from Yahya Bin Salim, from Mis’ar, from Atiyya, from Jabir who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘It is Written upon the door of the Paradise: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is brother^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww before Allah^azwj Created the skies and the earth by two thousand years’’.[2]

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

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq Al Hamdany, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ja’far Bin Salama, from Al Saqafy, from Al Zaby, from Abdul Wahid Bin Abu Amro, from Al Kalby, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘It is Written upon the Throne: “I^azwj am Allah^azwj. There is no god except I^azwj Alone, there is no associate for Me^azwj, and Muhammad^saww is My^azwj Rasool^saww. I^azwj Supported him^saww with Ali^asws”.

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

Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed: He is the One Who Assisted you with His Help and with the Momineen [8:62]. So, the help was Ali^asws, and he^asws is included with the ‘Momineen’. He^asws was included in all the two aspects’’.[3] (P.s. – This is actually from Rasool-Allah^saww)

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

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – My father, from Al Mowdib, from Ahmad Bin Ali Al Asbahany, from Al Saqafy, from Ibrahim Bin Musa, from Abu Qatada Al Harrany, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Al A’ala Al Hazramy, from Saeed Bin Al Musayyab, from Abu Al Hamra’a who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘I^saww saw on the night of the ascension, Written upon a pillar from the pillars of the Throne: “I^azwj am Allah^azwj. There is no god except I^saww Alone. I^azwj Created the Garden of Eden by My^azwj Hands. Muhammad^saww is My^azwj elite from My^azwj creatures. I^azwj Supported him^saww by Ali^asws and Helped him^saww by Ali^asws”’.[4]

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

(The book) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – In a bequest of the Prophet^saww to Amir Al-Momineen^asws: ‘O Ali^asws! I^saww saw your^asws name paired with my^saww name in four places, so I^saww was comforted by looking at it. When I^saww reached Bayt Al-Maqdis during my^saww ascension to the sky, I^saww found (written) upon (its) rock: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww. I^saww Supported him^saww by his^saww Vizier, and Helped him^saww by his^saww Vizier”.

فَقُلْتُ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ مَنْ وَزِيرِي فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

I^saww said to Jibraeel^as: ‘Who is my^saww Vizier?’ He^as said: ‘Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws’.

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

When I^saww ended up to Sidrat Al-Muntaha, I^saww found Written upon it: “I^azwj am Allah^azwj. There is no god except I^saww, Alone. Muhammad^saww is My^azwj elite from My^azwj creatures. I^azwj Supported him^saww by his^saww Vizier, and Helped him^saww by his^saww Vizier”.

فَقُلْتُ لِجَبْرَئِيلَ مَنْ وَزِيرِي فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ

I^saww said to Jibraeel^as: ‘Who is my^saww Vizier?’ He^as said: ‘Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws’.

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

When I^saww surpassed the Sidrat Al-Muntaha to the Throne of Lord^azwj of the worlds, Majestic is His^azwj Majesty, I^saww found Written upon its pillar: “I^azwj am Allah^azwj. There is no god except I^saww, Alone. Muhammad^saww is My^azwj servant and My^azwj Rasool^saww. I^azwj Supported him^saww by his^saww Vizier, and Helped him^saww by his^saww Vizier”.[5]

6- ل، الخصال الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ الْمُطَّلِبِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمِصْرِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ أُدْخِلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُ عَلَى بَابِهَا مَكْتُوباً بِالذَّهَبِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ حَبِيبُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ- فَاطِمَةُ أَمَةُ اللَّهِ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى مُبْغِضِيهِمْ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ‏.

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

‘Son of Musa^asws Bin Ja’far^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws, from Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘I^saww entered the Paradise and I^saww saw written upon its door, in gold, “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Beloved of Allah^azwj, Ali^asws is Guardian^asws of Allah^azwj, (Syeda) Fatima^asws is maid of Allah^azwj, Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws are elites of Allah^azwj. May the Curse of Allah^azwj be upon the ones who hate them^asws’’.[6]

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said to Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws: ‘When Allah^azwj, Mighty is His^azwj mention, Created Adam^as and Blew into him^as from His^azwj Spirit, and got His^azwj Angels to do Sajdah to him^as, and Settled him^as and his^asws wife Hawwa^as His^azwj Maid, into His^azwj Paradise, he^as raised his^as eyes towards the Throne, and there were five lines written there.

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

Adam^as said: ‘O Lord^azwj! Who are they^asws?’ Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Those when My^azwj creatures seek intercession by them^asws, I^azwj shall Intercede for them”.

فَقَالَ آدَمُ يَا رَبِّ بِقَدْرِهِمْ‏ عِنْدَكَ مَا اسْمُهُمْ

Adam^as said: ‘O Lord^azwj! By their^asws worth in Your^azwj Presence, what are their^asws names?’

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

He^azwj Said: “As for the first, I^azwj am the most Praised One^azwj (Al-Mahmoud), and he^saww is the praised one (Muhammad^saww), and the second, I^azwj am the Exalted (A’ali) and this is Ali^asws (exalted), and the third, I^azwj the Originator (Al-Fatir), and this is Fatima^asws, and the fourth, I^azwj as the Benevolent (Al-Mohsin) and this is Hassan^asws, and the fifth, I^azwj am with the Favours, and this is Al-Husayn^asws, all praise Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic!”’[7]

‘He asked Amir Al-Momineen^asws about Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic: Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Most Exalted [87:1], he^asws said: ‘It has been written upon the Pillars of the Throne a thousand years before He^azwj Created the skies and the earth: “There is no god except for Allah^azwj, One^azwj with no associates to Him^azwj, and that Muhammad^saww is His^azwj servant and His^azwj Rasool^saww, so testify by these two, and that Ali^asws is the successor^asws of Muhammad^saww’’.[9]

(The book) ‘Qasas Al Anbiya^as’, by the chain to Al Sadouq, from Ibrahim Bin Haroun, from Abu Bakr Ahmad bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Yazeed the judge, from Quteyba Bin Saeed, from Al Lays Bin Sa’ad, and Ismail Bin Ja’far, from his father, from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator),

‘From Rasool-Allah^saww having said: ‘When Allah^azwj Created Adam^as and Blew into him^as from His^azwj Spirit, Adam^as turned towards the right of the Throne and there were five resemblances, so he^as said: ‘O Lord^azwj! Have You^azwj Created anyone from the mortals before me^as?’ He^azwj Said: “No!” He^as said: ‘So, who are the ones I^as see their names?’

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

He^azwj Said: “They^asws are five from your^as children. Had it not been for them^asws I^azwj would have neither Created you^as, nor Created the Paradise, nor the Fire, nor the Throne, nor the Chair, nor the sky, nor the earth, nor the Angels, nor the Jinn, nor the human beings.

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

They^asws are the five I^azwj Derived a name for them^asws from My^azwj Names. I^azwj am the most Praised One (Al-Mahmoud) and this is Muhammad^saww, and I^azwj am the most Exalted (Al-A’ala) and this is Ali^asws (exalted), and I^azwj am the Originator (Al-Fatir) and this is Fatima^asws, and I^azwj am with the Favours (Zil-Ahsaan) and this is Al-Hassan^asws, and I^azwj am the Benevolent (Al-Mohsin) and this is Al-Husayn^asws.

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

I^azwj have Sword upon Myself^azwj that no one will come to Me^azwj and in his heart is a weight of a mustard seed of the love for one of them^asws except I^azwj will Enter him into My^azwj Paradise; and I^azwj have Sworn by My^azwj Might that no one will come to Me^azwj and in his heart is a weight of a mustard seed of hatred for one of them^asws, except I^azwj will Enter him into My^azwj Fire.

O Adam^as! They^asws are My^azwj elites from My^azwj creatures. Due to them^asws I^azwj shall Rescue the ones I^azwj will Rescue, and due to them^asws I^azwj shall Destroy the ones I^azwj will Destroy!”’[10]

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

‘From Al-Reza^asws having said: ‘Adam^as, when Allah^azwj the Exalted Honoured him^as by His^azwj Angels doing Sajdah to him^as, and by his^as entering the Paradise, Allah^azwj Called out to him^as: “Raise your^as head, O Adam^as and look at the Base of My^azwj Throne!”

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

He^as looked and found written upon it: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and his^asws wife Fatima^asws is chieftess of the women of the worlds, and Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws are chiefs of the youths of the inhabitants of the Paradise”.

فَقَالَ آدَمُ يَا رَبِّ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَؤُلَاءِ ذُرِّيَّتُكَ لَوْلَاهُمْ مَا خَلَقْتُكَ.

Adam^as said: ‘O Lord^azwj! Who are they^asws?’ The Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘They^asws are your^as offspring. Had it not been for them^asws, I^azwj would not have Created you^as!”’[11]

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When Allah^azwj Created Adam^as, Made him^as pause in front of Him^azwj. He^as sneezed, so Allah^azwj Inspired him that he^as praises Him^azwj. He^azwj Said: “O Adam^as! Are you^as praising Me^azwj? By My^azwj Mighty and My^azwj Majesty! Had it not been for two servants I^azwj Intend to Create at the end of times, I^azwj would not have Created you^as!”

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

Adam^as said: ‘O Lord^azwj! By their^asws worth in Your^azwj Presence! What are their^asws names?’ The Exalted Said: “O Adam^as! Look around the Throne!” And there were in two lines of light.

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

The first line was: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is the Prophet^saww of mercy, and Ali^asws is the key to Paradise”. And the second line was: “I^azwj have Sworn upon Myself^azwj that I^azwj shall be Merciful to the one who befriends them^asws and Punish the ones who are inimical to them^asws”’.[12]

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

‘From Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘The first successor^as that happened to be upon the surface of the earth was Hibtullah Bin Adam^as, and there is no Prophet^as who passed away except and there was a successor^as for him^as.

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

The number of the entirety of the Prophets^as was one hundred and twenty-four thousand Prophets^as, five of them^as were the Determined Ones (Ul Al Azam) – Noah^as, and Ibrahim^as, and Musa^as and Isa^as and Muhammad^saww.

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

And Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws was the ‘Hibtullah’ for Muhammad^saww, inheriting knowledge of the Prophets^as, and knowledge of the ones who were before him^asws. As for Muhammad^saww, he^saww inherited the knowledge of the ones from the Prophets^as and the Messengers^as who were before him^saww.

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

And upon the pillar of the Throne is written: “Hamza^asws is lion of Allah^azwj and lion of His^azwj Rasool^saww and chief of the martyrs”; and in a corner of the Throne is written on the right of our Lord^azwj, and both His^azwj Hands are right: “Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”.

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘By the One^azwj Who Sent me^saww with the truth as a giver of glad tidings! Neither did the Chair and the Throne settle, nor the orbiting of the planets, nor did the skies and the earth stand except due to that it was written upon these: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”.

18- كشف، كشف الغمة مِنْ مَنَاقِبِ الْخُوارِزْمِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَخُو رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ‏.

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘It is written upon the door of the Paradise: “Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is brother^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww before Allah^azwj Created the skies and the earth by two thousand years”’.[18]

19- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ أَتَانِي جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ قَدْ نَشَرَ جَنَاحَيْهِ فَإِذَا فِيهَا مَكْتُوبٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ النَّبِيُّ وَ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى الْآخَرِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَلِيٌّ الْوَصِيُ‏.

And from him, from Ali^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Jibraeel^as came to me^saww and he^as had spread out his^as wings, and there it was written in these: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is the Prophet^saww”, and it was written upon the other: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Ali^asws is the successor^asws”’.[19]

(Not a Hadeeth)[20]

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

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

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

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

Then he^saww said: ‘Do you know what that writing is?’ We said, ‘Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww are more knowing’. He^saww said: ‘The writing which is towards the inhabitants of the sky is: “Allah^azwj is Light (Noor) of the skies and the earth”, and as for the writing which is towards the inhabitants of the earth: “Ali^asws is light (noor) of the earths”’.[21]

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

And by his chain from Ibn Masoud who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When He^azwj Created Adam^as and Blew into him^as from His^azwj Spirit, Adam^as sneezed, so he^as said: ‘The Praise is for Allah^azwj’.

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

Allah^azwj the Exalted Revealed to him^as: “My^azwj servant praises Me^azwj. By My^azwj Mighty and My^azwj Majesty! Had it not been for two bodies I^azwj Intend to Create in the house of the world, I^azwj would not have Created you^as”. He^as said: ‘My^as God^azwj! So, they^asws would both happen to be from me^as’. He^azwj Said: “Yes, O Adam^as, raised your^as head and look!”

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

He^as raised his^as head and there was written upon the Throne: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Prophet^saww of mercy, and Ali^asws is the custodian, the Divine Authority. One who recognises the right of Ali^asws is pure and good, and one who denies his^asws right is Cursed and incur loss. I^azwj Swear by My^azwj Mighty that I^saww shall enter into the Paradise one who obeys him^asws and even if he disobeys Me^azwj, and I^azwj Swear by My^azwj Mighty that I^azwj shall enter into the Fire one who disobeys him^asws and even if obeys Me^azwj!”’[22]

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

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

‘From Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘It is written upon the Throne: “There is no god except Allah^azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him^azwj, Muhammad^saww is My^azwj servant and My^azwj Rasool^saww. I^azwj Supported him^saww by Ali Bin Abu Talib^asws”, and that is the Word of the Exalted in His^azwj Mighty Book: He is the One Who Assisted you with His Help and with the Momineen [8:62] – by Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws’’.[23]

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

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘On the night there was an ascension with me^saww to the sky, He^azwj Commanded with the Paradise and the Fire be presented to me^saww. I^saww saw them both. I^saww saw the Paradise and the variety of its bounties, and I^saww saw the Fire and the variety of its torments, and upon each door from the eight doors of Paradise was: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Guardian^asws of Allah^azwj”’.[24]

25- وَ مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ فَضْلٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: هَبَطَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص مَلَكٌ لَهُ عِشْرُونَ أَلْفَ رَأْسٍ فَوَثَبَ النَّبِيُّ ص لِيُقَبِّلَ يَدَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ مَهْلًا مَهْلًا يَا مُحَمَّدُ فَأَنْتَ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ أَجْمَعِينَ

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

‘From Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said: ‘There descended unto the Prophet^saww, and Angel having twenty thousand heads for him. The Prophet^saww leapt to kiss his hand. The Angel said to him^saww: ‘Stop, no! Stop no, O Muhammad^saww, for you^saww are more honourable than the inhabitants of the skies and the earth in their entirety’. Derogatory

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

And the Angel was called ‘Mahmoud’, and there was written between his shoulders: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is the greatest truthful”. The Prophet^saww said to him: ‘Since how long has this writing been written between your shoulders?’ He said, ‘From before Allah^azwj Created your^saww father^as Adam^as by twelve thousand years’’.[25]

26- وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْمِعْرَاجِ، تَأْلِيفِ الشَّيْخِ الصَّالِحِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَمْرَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ فَإِذاً مُثْبَتٌ عَلَى سَاقِ الْعَرْشِ الْأَيْمَنِ إِنِّي أَنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَحْدِي غَرَسْتُ جَنَّةَ عَدْنٍ بِيَدِي أَسْكَنْتُهَا مَلَائِكَتِي مُحَمَّدٌ صَفْوَتِي مِنْ خَلْقِي أَيَّدْتُهُ بِعَلِيٍ‏.

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When there was an ascension with me^saww to the sky, I^saww entered the Paradise, there was affirmed upon the right Base of the Throne: “I^azwj are Allah^azwj, there is no god except I^saww Alone. I^azwj Planted the Garden of Eden by My^azwj Hands. I^azwj shall Settle in it My^azwj Angels, Muhammad^saww is My^azwj elite from My^azwj creatures. I^azwj Supported him^saww with Ali^asws!”[26]

27- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ عَنْ مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَسْطُورٌ بِخَطٍّ جَلِيلٍ‏ حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

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

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘It is Written in the Handwriting of the Majestic around the Throne: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”’.[27]

28- وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ الصَّدُوقِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ عَنِ ابْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَلُومُونَنِي فِي مَحَبَّتِي لِأَخِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً مَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ حَتَّى أَمَرَنِي رَبِّي جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ بِمَحَبَّتِهِ

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘What is the matter with people blaming me^saww regarding my^saww love for my^saww brother Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws? By the One^azwj Who Sent me^saww with the truth as a Prophet^saww! I^saww did not love him^asws until my^saww Lord^azwj, Majestic is His^azwj Majesty Commanded me^saww to love him^asws!”

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

Then he^saww said: ‘What is the matter with people blaming me^saww regarding my^saww advancing Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws? By the right of my^saww Lord^azwj! I^azwj did not advance him^asws until Mighty is His^azwj Name Commanded me^saww to advance him^asws and Made him^asws Emir of the Momineen, and Emir of my^saww community and its Imam^asws.

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

O you people! When there was an ascension with me^saww to the seventh sky, I^saww found written upon every door of the sky: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”.

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

And when I^saww came to be to the Veil of Light, I^saww saw written upon the Veil: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”.

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

And when I^saww came to the Throne, I^saww found written upon every corner from its corners: “There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws”’.[28]

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

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘There was a woman from the Jinn called Afra’a used to frequently come to the Prophet^saww, and listen to his^saww speech. She went to the righteous Jinn and they became Muslims upon her hands, and she was missed by the Prophet^saww, so he^saww asked Jibraeel^as about her. He^as said: ‘She is visiting a sister of hers, loving her for the sake of Allah^azwj’.

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

The Prophet^saww said: ‘Beatitude for the ones loving for the Sake of Allah^azwj.

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

Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Evil is the affair of the youth of long hopes and the old man of procrastination’. He said, ‘Leave this from you^saww, O Muhammad^saww, for my repentance had flowed upon the hand of Noah^as, and I was with him^as in the ship and faulted him^as upon his^as supplicating against his^as people, and I was with Ibrahim^as when he^as was thrown into the fire and Allah^azwj Made it to be cool and safe unto him^as, and I was with Musa^as when Allah^azwj Drowned Pharaoh^la and Recued the children of Israel;

Then he (the narrator said), ‘I turned around and there wasn’t anyone with me. So, I proceeded to Abu Ja’far^asws and met him. I said to him^asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! A man came to me with your^asws letter and its texture was wet’ (ink). When there is haste for us^asws with a matter, I^asws send one of them’ – meaning the Jinn’.

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

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

One of them said to him companion, ‘Allah^azwj is the Supporter! What shall we say now to Abu Abdullah^asws?’ One of them said, ‘He^asws is benevolent, and I hope that he^asws would have the knowledge of what we would be saying in his^asws presence’.

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

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

I sneaked with my slippers tip-toeing and I heard Abu Al-Hassan^asws clearing his^asws throat. I cleared my throat and answered him^asws. Then I looked and attacked as there was a snake hanging by the base of the tree.

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

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

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

(The book) ‘Rijal Al Kashy’ – Nasr Bin Al Sabbah, from Ibn Abu Usman, from Qasim Al Sahhaf, from a man from the people of Al Madain, Al Qasim knew him, from Ammar Al Sabaty who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! I would love it if you^asws could inform me the Magnificent name of Allah^azwj the Exalted’. He^asws said to me: ‘You will never be (sufficiently) strong upon that’.

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

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

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

‘Al-Sadiq^asws said: ‘O Aban! How can the people deny the words of Amir Al-Momineen^asws when he^asws said: ‘If I^asws so desire, I^asws can raise this leg of mine^asws and hit the chest of the son of Abu Sufyan with it in Syria and overturn him from his throne’, and they are not denying attaining by Aasif^as, successor^as of Suleyman^as, the throne of Bilquis and coming to Suleyman^as with it, before he^as could blink an eye.

Isn’t our Prophet^saww the most superior of the Prophets^as, and his^saww successor^asws the most superior of the succesors^asws? Why are they not even making him^asws to be like the successor^as of Suleyman^as? Allah^azwj will Judge between us^asws and the one who rejects our^asws rights and denies our^asws merits’’.[54]

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

‘Salman Al-Farsi^ra said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws said: ‘O Salman^ra! The woe of all woes is for one who does not recognise us^asws as is the right of our^asws recognition, and denies our^asws merits.

O Salman^ra! But rather, is Muhammad^saww superior or Suleyman Bin Dawood^as?’ Salman^ra said, ‘But, Muhammad^saww is’. So, this Aasif Bin Barkhiya^as was able to carry the throne of Bilquis from Persia in the blink of an eye, and with him^as was knowledge from the Book, and I^asws cannot do a multiple of that, and with me^asws is knowledge of a thousand Books?

Allah^azwj Revealed fifty Parchments upon Shees^as Bin Adam^as, and thirty Parchments upon the Prophet^as Idrees^as, and twenty Parchments upon Ibrahim^as the Friend (of the Beneficent), and the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqan’.

I^ra said, ‘You^asws speak the truth, O my Master^asws!’ He^asws said: ‘Know, O Salman^ra, that the doubter in our^asws matter and our^asws knowledge is like the one suspicious regarding our^asws recognition and our^asws rights, and our^asws Wilayah has been Obligated in His^azwj Book in another place, and Explained in it what Obligates (the one who) works with it, and it is not hidden’’.[55]

‘From Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him^asws, ‘I ask you^asws, may I be sacrificed for you^asws, about three characteristics the Taqiyyah (dissimulation) can be negated from me during it’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He^asws said: ‘That is for you (to decide)’.

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

I said, ‘I ask you^asws about so and so, and so and so (Abu Bakr & Umar)’. He^asws said: ‘Upon them both is Curse of Allah^azwj. By Allah^azwj! They died and they were both Kafirs, Polytheists with Allah^azwj the Magnificent!’

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

Then I said, ‘The Imams^asws can revive the dead, and cure the blind and the leper, and walk upon the water?’ He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj did not Give any Prophet^saww anything at all except that He^azwj Gave it to Muhammad^saww, and (also) Gave him^saww was did not happen to be with them^as’.

I said, ‘And all what was with Rasool-Allah^saww, he^saww gave it to Amir Al-Momineen^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes, then Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws, then from afterwards, every Imam^asws up to the Day of Qiyamah with the increase which occurs during every year, and during every month. Yes, by Allah^azwj, during every moment’’.[56]

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

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

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^asws was silent from me until we were at Al-Bat’ha from Makkah, and we saw the people clamouring to Allah^azwj, he^asws said: ‘How much is the clamour and the noise, and few are the pilgrims. By the One^azwj Who Sent Muhammad^saww with the Prophet-hood and Hastened his^saww soul to the Paradise! Allah^azwj will not Accept except from you and from your companions in particular’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he^asws wiped upon my face, and I looked, and there, most of the people were pigs, and donkeys, and monkeys except a man after (remote from) a man’’.[57]

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

‘I said to Abu Ja’far^asws, ‘I am your^asws slave and from your^asws Shias, weak, blind, guarantee the Paradise for me’. He^asws said: ‘Or shall I^asws not give you a sign of the Imams^asws?’ I said, ‘And it is not (Obligatory) upon you^asws to gather these for me’. He^asws said: ‘And you would love that?’ I said, ‘And how can I not love it?’

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He^asws said: ‘What was from the clouds in which is thunder and the thunderbolt and the lightning. Your Master^asws rode it. But, he^asws rode the cloud and rose in the atmosphere of the seven skies and the seven earths, five of them were inhabited and two were desolate’’.[60]

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

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah^asws. The sky had thunder and lightning. Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘But surely, whatever was from this thunder and from this lightning, it is from the matters of your Master^asws’. I said, ‘Who is our Master^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws’’.[63]

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

‘From Salman Al-Farsi^ra having said, ‘I^ra, and Al-Hassan^asws, and Al-Husayn^asws, and Muhammad Bin Al-Hanafiyya, and Muhammad Bin Aby Bakr, and Ammar Bin Yasser, and Al-Miqdad Bin Al-Aswad Al-Kindy were (in the presence of Amir Al-Momineen^asws). His^asws son^asws Al-Hassan^asws said to him^asws: ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! Suleyman^as Bin Dawood^as asked his^as Lord^azwj for a kingdom not befitting for anyone from after him^as, so He^azwj Gave him^as that. Have you^asws any Rule from what Suleyman^as Bin Dawood^as ruled, anything?’

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

So he^asws said: ‘By the One Who Split the Seed and Formed the person, Suleyman^as Bin Dawood^as asked Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic for the kingdom and was Given it, and your^asws father^asws has a kingdom which no one possessed before him^asws from after your^asws grandfather^saww, nor would anyone possess it after him^asws’.

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

Al-Hassan^asws said to him^asws: ‘We would like you^asws to show us, from what Allah^azwj the High has Graced you^asws with, from the prestige’. So he^asws said: ‘I^asws will do it, if Allah^azwj so Desires it’.

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

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

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

Amir Al-Momineen^asws said: ‘O you cloud! Descend by the Permission of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic!’ It descended and it was saying, ‘There is no god except Allah^azwj, and Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, and you^asws are his^saww caliph and his^saww successor^asws. One who doubts regarding you^asws, so he is destroyed, and one who adheres with you^asws, would travel the road of Salvation’.

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

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

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

I^ra inclined towards Amir Al-Momineen^asws and he^asws was upon a chair and light was shining from his^asws face almost blinding the sight. Al-Hassan^asws said: ‘O Amir-Al-Momineen^asws! Suleyman^as Ibn Dawood^as commanded obedience by his^as ring, and Amir Al-Momineen^asws, by what would he^asws command obedience?’

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

He^asws said: ‘I^asws am the Eyes of Allah^azwj in His^azwj earth, and I^asws am the Speaking Tongue of Allah^azwj among His^azwj creatures, and I^asws am the Light of Allah^azwj which will not be extinguished, and I^asws am the Door of Allah^azwj which (everything) is given out from it, and a divine Authority of Allah^azwj over His^azwj servants’.

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

Then he^asws said: ‘Would you all like me^asws to show you the ring of Suleyman Bin Dawood^as?’ We said: ‘Yes’. So he^asws inserted his^asws hand in his^asws pocket, and brought out a ring of gold, embedded with red sapphire, on which was the inscription: ‘مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ’ ‘Muhammad^saww and Ali^asws’.

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

Salman^ra said, ‘We were astonished from that’. He^asws said: ‘Which thing are you astonished from, and what is the astonishment from the like of me^asws? I^asws will show you today what will not see (again) ever!’

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

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

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

Al-Hassan^asws said: ‘What is the matter with this tree to have dried up?’ He^asws said: ‘Ask it, for it will answer you^asws’. Al-Hassan^asws said: ‘O you tree! What is the matter the dryness has occurred with you what we see?’ But it did not answer him^asws. Amir Al-Momineen^asws said: ‘By my^asws right upon you! Why did you not answer him^asws?’ 

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

The reporter (Salman^ra) said, ‘We heard it and it was saying, ‘At your^asws service! At your^asws service, O successor^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww and his^saww caliph!’

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

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

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

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

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

When the Angel looked at Amir Al-Momineen^asws, he said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^azwj, there is no associate for Him^azwj, and I testify that Muhammad^saww is His^azwj servant and His^azwj Rasool^saww. He^azwj Sent him^saww with the Guidance and the Religion of Truth in order to prevail it upon all the Religions, and even if the Polytheists abhor it [61:9]; and I testify that you^asws are his^saww successor^asws and his^saww caliph truly and sincerely’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Angel said, ‘But, you^asws say it, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws’. He^asws said: ‘you want me^asws to allow you to visit Al-Khizr^as’. He said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘I^asws hereby permit for you’. The Angel flew away after saying, ‘In the Name of Allah^azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’.

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

Then we walked upon the mountain for a while, and there was the Angel having had returned to its place after his visitation of Al-Khizr^as. Salman^ra said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! I^ra view that Angel has not visited Al-Khizr^as except when he took your^asws permission’.

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

He^asws said: ‘By the One^azwj Who Raised the sky without pillars! If one of them were to think from moving from his place by a measurement of one breath, he would not (be able to) move until I^asws permit for him, and like that is the state of my^asws son^asws Al-Hassan^asws, and after him^asws Al-Husayn^asws and nine from the sons^asws of Al-Husayn, ninth of them^asws being their^asws Qaim^asws’.

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

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

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

The Magnificent Name of Allah^azwj is upon seventy-two (three) letters, and with Aasif Bin Barkhiya^as was one letter. He^as spoke with it and Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Submerged the ground what was between him^as and the throne of Bilquis until he^as grabbed the throne, then the ground returned to just as it had been, quicker than the blink of the eye.

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

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

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

Then he^asws arose and we stood up, and there we were with a youth in the mountain praying Salat between two graves. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! Who is this youth?’ He^asws said: ‘The Prophet^as Salih^as, and these two graves are of his^as mother and his^as father, and he^as worships Allah^azwj between the two’.

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

When Salih^as looked at him^asws, could not control himself^as until he^as cried and gestured by his^as hand towards Amir Al-Momineen^asws, then returned it to his^as chest, and he^as was crying. Amir Al-Momineen^asws paused by him^as until he^as was free from his^as Salat.

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

We said to him^as, ‘What make you^as cry?’ Salih^as said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen^asws used to pass by me^as during every morning, and he^asws would sit, so my^as worship was increased by my^as looking at him^asws. That has been cut off since ten days. That has worried me^as’.

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

We were astonished from that. He^asws said: ‘Do you want me^asws to show you Suleyman^as Bin Dawood^as?’ We said, ‘Yes’. He^asws stood up and we went with him^asws until he^asws entered an orchard, we had not seen any more beautiful than it, and in it were the entirety of the fruits, and grapes, and rivers flowing, and birds perched upon the trees.

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

When the birds saw him^asws, they came fluttering around him^asws until we were in the middle of the orchard, and there was a throne, upon it was a youth sitting upon its back, placing his head upon his chest. Amir Al-Momineen^asws brought out the ring from his^asws pocket and made it to be in the finger of Suleyman^as Bin Dawood^as. He^as got up to stand and said: ‘The greetings be unto you^asws, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and successor^asws of Rasool^saww of Lord^azwj of the worlds!

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

By Allah^azwj! You^asws are the greatest truthful, and the magnificent distributor. He has succeeded, one who adheres with you^asws, and he has failed and incurred a loss, one who stays behind from you^asws, and I^as asked Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic by you^asws, People^asws of the Household, so I^as was given that kingdom’.

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

Salman^ra said, ‘When we heard the speech of Suleyman^as Bin Dawood^as, I^ra could not control myself^ra until I^ra fell upon the feet of Amir Al-Momineen^asws. I^ra kissed them and praised Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic upon the abundance of His^azwj Grants by His^azwj Guiding to the Wilayah of People^asws of the Household, those from whom Allah^azwj Kept Away the uncleanness from them^asws and Purified them^asws with a Purification; and my^ra companions did just as I^ra had done.

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

Then I^ra asked Amir Al-Momineen^asws, ‘What is behind Qaf! [50:1]?’ He^asws said: ‘Behind it is what its knowledge cannot arrive to you’. We said, ‘You^asws know that, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws?’ He^asws said: ‘My^asws knowledge of what is behind it is like my^asws knowledge with the state of this world and what is in it, and I^asws am the protector, the witness upon it after Rasool-Allah^saww, and like that are the succesors^asws from my^asws sons^asws after me^asws’.

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

Then he^asws said: ‘I^asws am more knowing with the roads of the skies than the roads of the earth. We^asws are the Name, the treasured, the hidden. We^asws are the Magnificent Names which when Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic is asked by it, He^azwj Answers. We^asws are the names inscribed upon the Throne.

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

And for our^asws reason, Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the sky and the earth, and the Throne and the Chair, and the Paradise and the Fire, and from us^asws the Angels learnt the glorification and the extollation of Holiness, and the Tawheed, and the extollation of Oneness, and the exclamation of Greatness, and we^asws are the Words which Adam^as received from his^as Lord^azwj, so He^azwj Turned to him^as’.

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

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

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

He^asws said: ‘Remainder of the people of Aad. They do not believe in Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic. I^asws loved to show them to you, and this city and its inhabitants. I^asws intend to destroy them, and they are not aware’. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! You^asws will destroy them without any argument?’ He^asws said: ‘No, but with an argument against them’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amir Al-Momineen^asws said: ‘If I^asws wanted to cut through the world in its travel and the seven seas, and return in less than the blink of an eye, I^asws could have done so due to what is with me^asws from the Magnificent Name of Allah^azwj’. We said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws! By Allah^azwj, you^asws are the Magnificent Sign, and the dazzling miracle after your^asws brother^saww and son^saww of your^asws uncle^as, Rasool-Allah^saww’’.[64]

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Al hassan Bin Abdul Samad, from Ibn Abu Usman, from Al Ibady Abdul Khaliq, from the one who narrated it,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘For Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic there are twelve thousand worlds, each world from them is greater than seven skies and seven earths. No scholar from them sees that for Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic there are worlds others than theirs, and I^asws am a Divine Authority over them (all)’’.[65]

(The book) ‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ibn Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from his men,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws raising the Hadeeth to Al-Hassan^asws Bin Ali^asws having said: ‘For Allah^azwj there are two cities, one of them in the east and the other in the west. Upon them are gates of iron, and upon every cities there are a thousand thousand shutters of gold, and therein a thousand thousand languages are spoken, each language being different from its counterpart, and I^asws recognise the entirety of the languages, and there is no Divine Authority in these, and what is between these and upon these, apart from me^asws and my^asws brother^asws Al-Husayn^asws’’.[66]

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

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘For Allah^azwj there is a city behind the sea, its vastness is of a travel distance of forty days of the sun. In it there are a people who do not disobey Allah^azwj at all, nor do they recognise Iblees^la, nor do they know the creation of Iblees^la.

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

We^asws meet them every time and they ask us^asws about what they are needy to, and they ask us^asws for the supplication, and they ask us^asws about our^asws Qaim^asws, when will he^asws appear, and among them is intense worship and striving; and for their city there are gates in what is between the shutter to the shutter at one hundred Farsakhs.

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

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

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

When they see one of us^asws, they surround him^asws and gather to him^asws and take from his^asws traces from the ground to be blessed by it. For them is such noise when they pray Salat, severer than the noise of the stormy wind; among them is a group who have not placed down their weapons since they have been awaiting our^asws Qaim^asws, supplicating that He^azwj Shows him^asws to them.  

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

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

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

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

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

And they as Allah^azwj for the long life and that they should not miss us^asws, and they know that the Conferment from Allah^azwj upon them regarding what we^asws teach them, is mighty, and for them is emergence with the Imam^asws when he^asws rises. The ones from them with the weapons are preceding in it, and they supplicate to Allah^azwj that Make them to be from the ones His^azwj Religion would be helped with.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

He^asws said: ‘For Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic there are two cities, a city in the east and a city in the west. In these two there are people who do not know Iblees^la’ – up to the end of the Hadeeth’’.[67]

‘Al-Hassan Bin Ali^asws said: ‘For Allah^azwj there is a city in the east and a city in the west. Upon each one there is a gate of iron, in each gate there are seventy thousand shutters of gold. In each shutter enters (people) of seventy thousand languages of the human beings, and there isn’t any language in it except it is different from the other, and there is no language from these except and I^asws know it, and there is neither in these nor between these a son of a Prophet^as apart from me^asws and apart from my^asws brother^asws Al-Husayn^asws, and I^asws am a Divine Authority upon them’’.[68]

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

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

It was said to him^asws, ‘How can this be that they are disavowing from so and so, and so and so, and they don’t know whether Allah^azwj Created Adam^as or did not Create him^as?’

He^asws said to the questioner: ‘Do you recognise Iblees^la?’ He said, ‘No, except by the news’. He^asws said: ‘And you have been Commanded with the cursing and disavowment from him^la?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘So that is how they have been Commanded’’.[69]

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

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^asws, ‘The people are claiming that in the earth there are ‘Abdaal’ (replaced ones), so who are these replaced ones?’ He^asws said: ‘They speak the truth. The replaced ones are the successors^asws. Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Made them^asws are replacements for the Prophets^as in the earth when the Prophets^as are raised (pass away), and Muhammad^saww is their^as last one’’.[75]

The report from Umm Dawood,

‘From Al-Sadiq^asws regarding the middle of Rajab where he^asws said: ‘O Allah^azwj! Send Salawat upon Muhammad^saww and Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, and Mercy Muhammad^saww and Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, and Bless upon Muhammad^saww and Progeny^asws of Muhammad, just as You^azwj had Mercied and Blessed upon Ibrahim^as and progeny of Ibrahim^as, You^azwj are Praiseworthy, Glorified!

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

CHAPTER 17 – THE MASTER^asws OF THIS COMMAND IS PROTECTED, AND ALLAH^azwj BRINGS TO HIM^asws THE ONES WHO BELIEVE IN HIM^asws DURING EVERY ERA

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

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

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

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

So he^asws said: ‘By Allah^azwj! Neither has he seen it nor has his father even by one of his eyes, except if his father has seen it with Al-Husayn^asws. And the Master of this Command (Al-Qaim^asws), it is protected for him^asws. So you should neither go right nor left, for the matter, by Allah^azwj, it is clear.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(The book) ‘Saheefa Al-Reza^asws, ‘From Al-Reza^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘We^asws, People^asws of the Household, the charities are not Permissible for us^asws (to consume), and we^asws are Commanded with perfecting the Wudu’u, and that we^asws do not get a donkey to copulate upon an old female donkey, nor wipe (do masaah) upon the socks’’.[78]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Ahwazy, from Abdullah Bin Bahr, from Ibn Muskan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Abdullah Allah^azwj, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘The Imams^asws are at the status of Rasool-Allah^saww except they^asws aren’t Prophets^as, nor is it Permissible for them^asws from the women (number of wives) what was Permissible for the Prophet^saww. As for what is besides that, so they^asws are at the status of Rasool-Allah^saww’’.[79]

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

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

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

One who wants to know our^asws love, then let him examine his heart, so if he has participated in our^asws love, the love for our^asws enemies. So, he isn’t from us^asws and we^asws aren’t from him, and Allah^azwj is their enemy, and Jibraeel^as, and Mikaeel^as, and Allah^azwj is an enemy to the Kafirs’’.[80]

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

‘Al-Reza^asws wrote to me: ‘Abu Ja’far^asws said: ‘One whom it cheers that there should not happen to be any Veil between him and Allah^azwj to the extent that he looks at Allah^azwj and Allah^azwj Looks at him, then let him befriend the Progeny^asws of Muhammad and disavow from their^asws enemies, and make an Imam with an Imam^asws from them^asws, so when it would be like that, Allah^azwj would Look at him and he would look at Allah^azwj’’.

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

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

‘From Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Ten (things) one who meets Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic with these would enter the Paradise – The testimony that there is no god except Allah^azwj, and that Muhammad^saww is Rasool-Allah^saww, and the acceptance of whatever he^saww came with from the Presence of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, and establishing the Salat, and giving the Zakat, and Fasting month of Ramazan, and Hajj of the House (Kabah), and the Wilayah of the Guardians^asws of Allah^azwj, and the disavowment from enemies of Allah^azwj, and keeping away from every intoxicant’’.[84]

(The books) ‘Al Majalis’ of Al Mufeed, (and) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed, from Ali Bin Khalid Al Maraghy, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Dallal, from Sabrah Bin Ziyad, from Al Hakam Bin Uyayna, from Hubeysh Bin Mu’tamar who said,

‘I entered to see Amir Al-Momineen Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws. I said, ‘The greetings be unto you^asws, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and Mercy of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Blessings! How is your evening?’

قَالَ أَمْسَيْتُ مُحِبّاً لِمُحِبِّنَا وَ مُبْغِضاً لِمُبْغِضِنَا وَ أَمْسَى مُحِبُّنَا مُغْتَبِطاً بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَنْتَظِرُهَا وَ أَمْسَى عَدُوُّنَا يُؤَسِّسُ‏ بُنْيانَهُ عَلى‏ شَفا جُرُفٍ هارٍ فَكَأَنَّ ذَلِكَ الشَّفَا قَدِ انْهَارَ بِهِ فِي نارِ جَهَنَّمَ‏

He^asws said: ‘In the evening I^asws am loving to the one who loves us^asws, and hateful to one who hates us^asws, and in the evening the one who loves us^asws is exultant with the Mercy from Allah^azwj, he was awaiting, and in the evening our^asws enemy has built his foundation of his building upon the brink of a cliff, so it is as if that would collapse with him into the Fire of Hell [9:109].

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

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

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

O Hubeysh! One whom it cheers to know whether he is (from the) ones who loves us^asws or a hater, then let him examine his heart. If he loves our^asws friend, then he isn’t a hater to us^asws, and if he was a hater of a friend of ours^asws, then he isn’t one who loves us^asws. Allah^azwj the Exalted Took the Covenant for one who loves us^asws with our^asws cordiality, and wrote in the Reminder (Al-Zikr) the name of one who hates us^asws. We^asws are the excellent ones. Our^asws matters are the matters of the Prophets^as’’.[85]

‘I heard Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws saying: ‘One who loves us^asws for (the Sake of) Allah^azwj, and loves the one who loves us^asws, not for the purpose of the world he could attain from him, and is inimical to our^asws enemies, not for a grudge which was between him and him, then he comes on the Day of Qiyamah and (even if) upon him are from the sins like the grains of sand in a desert, and foam of the sea, Allah^azwj the Exalted would Forgive these for him’’.[86]

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari^asws), (and) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbar’, (and) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Reza^asws’, (and) ‘Illal Al Sharaie’ –

‘By his chain to Abu Muhammad Al Askari^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said to one of his^saww companions one day: ‘O servant of Allah^azwj! Love for the Sake of Allah^azwj and hate for the Sake of Allah^azwj, and befriend for the Sake of Allah^azwj and be inimical for the Sake of Allah^azwj, for surely the Wilayah (submission) cannot be achieved except by that.

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

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

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

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

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

Rasool-Allah^saww gestured for him towards Ali^asws and said: ‘Do you see this one?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^saww said: ‘A friend of his^asws is a friend of Allah^azwj, so befriend him^asws, and an enemy of this one^asws is an enemy of Allah^azwj so be inimical to him’.

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

He^saww said: ‘Befriend a friend of this one^asws and even if he is a killer of your father and your son, and be inimical to an enemy of this one^asws and even if he is your father or your son’’.[87]

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘One whom it cheers that Allah^azwj Gathers the goodness for him, all of it, then let him befriend Ali^asws after me^saww, and let him befriend his^asws friends and curse his^asws enemies’’.[88]

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – My father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Salih Bin Sahl,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘One who loves us^asws and hates our^asws enemies for the Sake of Allah^azwj, from without avenging any grudge regarding anything from the matters of the world, then dies upon that, and he meets Allah^azwj and upon him from the sins are like the foam of the sea, Allah^azwj would Forgive these for him’’.[89]

‘A number (of people) came to Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws Bin Ali^asws and they said, ‘The clan of Ammina have sent a delegation to Muawiya Bin Abu Sufyan seeking his grants and his awards, and we have come as a delegation to you^asws as connecting to Rasool-Allah^saww’.

‘Which handhold of the Eman is firmest?’ They (people) said, ‘Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww are more knowing’. He^asws said: ‘Say it’. They said, ‘O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww, (it is) the Salat’. He^asws said: ‘For the Salat there is superiority, but it isn’t Salat’.

They said, ‘The Zakat’. He^asws said: ‘For the Zakat there is superiority, and it isn’t the Zakat’. They said, ‘Fasts of the month of Ramazan’. He^asws said: ‘For (month of) Ramazan there is superiority, and it isn’t (month of) Ramazan’. They said, ‘It is the Hajj and the Umrah’.

He^asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘The firmest handhold of the Eman is the love for the Sake of Allah^azwj, and befriending the friends of Allah^azwj, and being inimical to the enemies of Allah^azwj’’.[92]

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza^asws’ – Allah^azwj Revealed to one of the worshippers of the children of Israel, and something had entered into his heart: “As for your worship to Me^azwj, so it has endeared you to Me^azwj, and as for your ascetism in the world, it has hastened the rest.

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Sa’dan, from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws regarding His^azwj Words: and whether you are revealing what is within yourselves or you are hiding it, Allah will Reckon you with it. Then He will Forgive the one He so Desires to and He will Punish the one He so Desires to [2:284]. He^asws said: ‘It is Worthy of Allah^azwj that He^azwj would not Let anyone enter the Paradise who had in his heart, the weight of a mustard seed of love for those two (Abu Bakr & Umar)’’.[94]

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

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

قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ وَ مَا مَعْرِفَةُ اللَّهِ قَالَ يُصَدِّقُ اللَّهَ وَ يُصَدِّقُ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فِي مُوَالاةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الِايتِمَامِ بِهِ وَ بِأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ الْبَرَاءَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ وَ كَذَلِكَ عِرْفَانُ اللَّهِ

I said, ‘May Allah^azwj Keep you^asws well! And what is the recognition of Allah^azwj?’ He^asws said: ‘He ratifies Allah^azwj, and ratifies Muhammad^saww as being Rasool-Allah^saww regarding the Wilayah of Ali^asws and make an Imam^asws with him^asws, and with the Imams^asws of guidance from after him^asws, and the disavow-ment to Allah^azwj from their^asws enemies, and like that is the recognition of Allah^azwj’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ أَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ أَنَا اسْتَكْمَلْتُ حَقِيقَةَ الْإِيمَانِ قَالَ تُوَالِي أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ تُعَادِي أَعْدَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ تَكُونُ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ كَمَا أَمَرَكَ اللَّهُ

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

قَالَ قُلْتُ‏ وَ مَنْ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَوْلِيَاءُ اللَّهِ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ عَلِيٌّ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْتَهَى الْأَمْرُ إِلَيْنَا ثُمَّ ابْنِي جَعْفَرٌ وَ أَوْمَأَ إِلَى جَعْفَرٍ وَ هُوَ جَالِسٌ فَمَنْ وَالَى هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَدْ وَالَى أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ وَ كَانَ مَعَ الصَّادِقِينَ كَمَا أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And who are the friends of Allah^azwj?’ He^asws said: ‘The friends of Allah^azwj are Muhammad^saww Rasool-Allah^saww, and Ali^asws, and Al-Hassan^asws, and Al-Husayn^asws, and Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws, then the command ended up to us^asws, then my^asws son^asws Ja’far^asws’, and he^asws gestured towards Ja’far^asws and he^asws was seated. ‘So the one who befriends them^asws, so he has befriended the friends of Allah^azwj and would be with the truthful, just as Allah^azwj has Commanded him’.

قُلْتُ وَ مَنْ أَعْدَاءُ اللَّهِ أَصْلَحَكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ الْأَوْثَانُ الْأَرْبَعَةُ قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنْ هُمْ قَالَ أَبُو الْفَصِيلِ وَ رُمَعُ وَ نَعْثَلٌ وَ مُعَاوِيَةُ وَ مَنْ دَانَ دِينَهُمْ فَمَنْ عَادَى هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَدْ عَادَى أَعْدَاءَ اللَّهِ‏.

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

17- سر، السرائر مِنْ كِتَابِ أُنْسِ الْعَالِمِ لِلصَّفْوَانِيِّ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَجُلًا قَدِمَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ وَ أُحِبُّ فُلَاناً وَ سَمَّى بَعْضَ أَعْدَائِهِ فَقَالَ ع أَمَّا الْآنَ فَأَنْتَ أَعْوَرُ فَإِمَّا أَنْ تَعْمَى وَ إِمَّا أَنْ تُبْصِرُ.

(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ – From the book ‘Uns Al Aalim’ of Al Safwany who said,

‘A man arrived to Amir Al-Momineen^asws and said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^asws!  I love you^asws and I love so and so’, and he named one of his^asws enemies. He^asws said: ‘At the moment you are one-eyed, so either you become blind or you become a seeing one’’.[96]

18- وَ قِيلَ لِلصَّادِقِ ع‏ إِنَّ فُلَاناً يُوَالِيكُمْ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَضْعُفُ عَنِ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ عَدُوِّكُمْ فَقَالَ هَيْهَاتَ كَذَبَ مَنِ ادَّعَى مَحَبَّتَنَا وَ لَمْ يَتَبَرَّأْ مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا.

And it was said to Al-Sadiq^asws, ‘So and so befriends you except that he is weak from the disavowment from your^asws enemies’. He^asws said: ‘Far be it! He lies, the one who claims having our^asws love and does not disavow from our^asws enemies’’.[97]

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

And it is reported from Al-Reza^asws having said: ‘The perfection of Religion is our^asws Wilayah, and the disavowment from our^asws enemies’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

(They are) deaf, dumb, blind – from the Guidance, with regards to their following the rivals from besides Allah^azwj, and the opposites of the Guardians^asws of Allah^azwj, those He^azwj Named them^asws as the nest of the Caliphs of Allah^azwj, and Entitled them with the titles of preferable Imams^asws, those whom Allah^azwj Appointed for the establishment of the Religion of Allah^azwj, so they are not understanding – the Command of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic.

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

Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws said: ‘This is regarding the worship of the idols, and regarding the Nasibi’s) hostility to the People^asws of the Household of Muhammad^saww, Prophet^saww of Allah^azwj. They (Nasibis) are the followers of Iblees^la and the hardened ones of his^la renegades. Soon they would be going to the Abyss.

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

Then Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Seek Refuge with Allah^azwj from the Pelted Satan^la, for the one who seeks Refuge with Allah^azwj from him^la, Allah^azwj would Shelter him – and seek Refuge – from his^la whispering suggestions, and his^la blowing, and his^la puffing. Do you know what it is? As for his^la whispering suggestions, so it is what he^la casts into your hearts from (having) our^asws hatred, of the People^asws of the Household.

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

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! And how can we have hatred for you^asws all after you^saww making us recognise your^asws places from Allah^azwj and your^asws statuses?’ He^saww said: ‘By your hating our^asws friends and loving our^asws enemies. Therefore, seek Refuge with Allah^azwj from having the love of our^asws enemies, and enmity of our^asws friends. So, seek Refuge from having our^asws hatred and our^asws enmity, for the one who loves our^asws enemies, so he has been inimical to us^asws, and we^asws are disavowed from him, and Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic is Disavowed from him’’.[99]

And the Prophet^saww said: ‘One who rejects Ali^asws of his^asws Imamate, so rather he has rejected my^saww Prophet-hood, and one who rejects my^saww Prophet-hood so he has rejected His^azwj Lordship’.

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

And the Prophet^saww said to Ali^asws: ‘O Ali^asws! You^asws will be the oppressed one after me^saww. One who is unjust to you^asws, so he is unjust to me, and one who is fair with you^asws, so he has been fair with me^saww, and one who rejects you^asws so he has rejected me^saww, and one who befriends you^asws so he has befriended me^saww, and one who has been inimical to you^asws so he has been inimical to me^saww, and the one who obeys you^asws so he has obeyed me^saww, and one who disobeys you^asws so he has disobeyed me^saww’.

وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ الْمُنْكِرُ لآِخِرِنَا كَالْمُنْكِرِ لِأَوَّلِنَا.

And the Prophet^saww said: ‘The Imams^asws from after me^saww are twelve Imams^asws. The first of them^asws is Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws and their last one^asws is Al-Qaim^asws. Obedience to them^asws is obedience to me^saww, and disobedience to them^asws is disobedience to me^saww. One who denies one of them^asws so he has denied me^saww’’.

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

And Al-Sadiq^asws said: ‘One who doubts in the Kufr of our^asws enemies and the ones who were oppressive to us^asws, so he is a Kafir’.

وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏ مَا زِلْتُ مَظْلُوماً مُنْذُ وَلَدَتْنِي أُمِّي حَتَّى إِنَّ عَقِيلًا كَانَ يُصِيبُهُ رَمَدٌ فَقَالَ لَا تَذُرُّونِّي حَتَّى تَذُرُّوا عَلِيّاً فَيَذُرُّونِّي وَ مَا بِي رَمَدٌ وَ اعْتِقَادُنَا

And Amir Al-Momineen Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws said: ‘I^asws have not cease to be oppressed since my^asws mother^asws gave me^asws birth, to the extent that Aqeel was afflicted with sore eyes, so he said, ‘Do not leave me until you leave Ali^asws’. So, I^asws was left and there was no sore eyes with me^asws’.

O Ali^asws! You^asws are the Master^asws of the Momineen, and the Divine Authority after me^saww upon the people in their entirety. He is Obligated the Paradise, one who befriends you, and he is Obligated entering the Fire, one who is inimical to you^asws.

يَا عَلِيُّ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ اصْطَفَانِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْبَرِيَّةِ لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ مَا قُبِلَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا بِوَلَايَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ وَ إِنَّ وَلَايَتَكَ لَا تُقْبَلُ إِلَّا بِالْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَاءِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ بِذَلِكَ أَخْبَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ع‏ فَمَنْ شاءَ فَلْيُؤْمِنْ وَ مَنْ شاءَ فَلْيَكْفُرْ.

O Ali^asws! By the One^azwj Who Sent me^saww with the Prophet-hood and Chose me^saww over the entirety of the created beings! If a servant were to worship Allah^azwj for a thousand years, that would not be Accepted from him, except with your^asws Wilayah and Wilayah of the Imams^asws from your^asws sons^asws, and your^asws Wilayah is not Acceptable except with the disavowment from your^asws enemies and enemies of the Imams^asws from your^asws sons is with that. Jibraeel^as informed me^saww: So the one who so desires to, let him believe, and the one who so desires to, let him disbelieve’. [18:29]’’.[101]

CHAPTER 2 – ANOTHER REGARDING THE PUNISHMENT OF THE ONE WHO FOLLOWS OTHER THAN HIS^asws MASTERS^asws, AND ITS MEANING

1- ب، قرب الإسناد عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ: ابْتَدَرَ النَّاسُ إِلَى قِرَابِ سَيْفِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَإِذَا صَحِيفَةٌ صَغِيرَةٌ وَجَدُوا فِيهَا مَنْ آوَى مُحْدِثاً فَهُوَ كَافِرٌ وَ مَنْ تَوَلَّى غَيْرَ مَوَالِيهِ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ وَ مِنْ أَعْتَى النَّاسِ عَلَى اللَّهِ مَنْ قَتَلَ غَيْرَ قَاتِلِهِ أَوْ ضَرَبَ غَيْرَ ضَارِبِهِ‏.

(The book) ‘Qurb Al-Asnad’ – Ali, from his brother^asws Musa^asws having said: ‘The people rushed to the sheath of the sword of Rasool-Allah^saww after his^saww passing away, and there was a small parchment found to be in it: ‘One who shelters an innovator so he is a Kafir, and one who follows other than his Masters^asws so upon him is the Curse of Allah^azwj, and from the excesses of the people upon Allah^azwj is one who kills other than his killer, or hits other than one who hit him’’.[102]

(The book) ‘Uyoon Akhbar Al-Reza^asws’ – by a chain of Al-Tameemi, from Al-Reza^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said: ‘The Prophet^saww said: ‘One who follows others than his^asws Masters^asws, upon him is the Curse of Allah and the Angels and the people altogether.  [2:161]’’.[103]

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi,

‘In a bequest of Amir Al-Momineen^asws during his^asws passing away, by a report of Ibn Nubata, from the Prophet^saww: ‘Curse of Allah^azwj, and curse of His^azwj Angels of Proximity, and His^azwj Messenger Prophets^as, and my^saww curse is upon the one who belongs to other than his father, or claims to other than his Masters^asws, or is unjust to a worker of his recompense’’.[104]

And in another Hadeeth, from Zayd Bin Arqam,

‘From the Prophet^saww: ‘May Allah^azwj Curse who follows other than his Masters^asws’’.[105]

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Asnaad’ – Ibn Tareyf, from Ibn Awlad,

‘From Ja’far^asws, from his^asws father^asws having said: ‘It was found in the sheath of the sword of Rasool-Allah^saww, a sealed parchment. It was opened and therein was found (written): ‘The most excessive of the people to Allah^azwj is the killer of other than his killer, and the hitter to other than his hitter, and one who innovates an innovation or shelters an innovator, upon him is the Curse of Allah^azwj, and the Angels, and the people in their entirety. Allah^azwj will neither Accept from him any exchange, nor any replacement, and one who follows to other than his Masters^asws, so he has committed Kufr with what Allah^azwj Revealed unto Muhammad^saww’’.[106]

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

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

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

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he^asws said: ‘Do you know what is the meaning of his^saww words: ‘One who follows other than his Masters^asws’?’ I said, ‘What is the meaning of his^saww words?’ He^asws said: ‘The people of religion’. And the ‘exchange’ is the repentance in the words of Abu Ja’far^asws, and the ‘replacement’ is the ransom in the words of Abu Abdullah^asws’’.[107]

Note: –

فَمَا رَوَاهُ الصَّدُوقُ فِي الْعِلَلِ‏، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ حَدَثاً أَوْ آوَى مُحْدِثاً قُلْتُ وَ مَا ذَلِكَ الْحَدَثُ قَالَ الْقَتْلُ‏.

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

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww cursed the one who innovated an innovation in Al-Medina, or sheltered an innovator’. I said, ‘And what was that innovation?’ He^asws said: ‘The killing’’.

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq Al Hamdany, from Ali, from his father, from Nasr Bin Ali Jahzamy,

‘From Ali son of Ja’far^asws, from his brother^asws Musa^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said; ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘One who separated from the community of Muslims, so he has vacated the noose of Islam from his neck’.

It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! And what is the community of the Muslims?’ He^saww said: ‘Community of the people of Truth, and even if they are a few’’.[108]

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi Al Mufeed, from Ali Bin Khalid, from Ahmad Bin Ismail Bin Mahan, from Zakariya Bin Yahya, from Bundar, from Abdul Rahman, from Sufyan, from Sahl Bin Jarrah, from Ata’a BiN Zayd, from Tameem Al Razy who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘The Religion is advice’. It was said, ‘Of whom, O Rasool-Allah^saww?’ He^saww said: ‘Of Allah^azwj, and of His^azwj Rasool^saww, and of His^azwj Book, and of the Imams^asws regarding the Religion and of a community of Muslims’’.[109]

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

‘From Al-Sadiq Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww addressed the people during the farewell Hajj at Mina, in Masjid Al-Khief. He^saww praised Allah^azwj and extolled upon Him^azwj, then said: ‘May Allah^azwj Freshen a servant who hears my^saww words and retains it, then delivers it to the one who did not hear it, for sometimes his understanding would be carrier it to one who is without understanding, and sometimes his understanding would be carried to one who is more understanding than him. 

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

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

4- ل، الخصال مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَنْ هَارُونَ عَنِ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلَامُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ: ثَلَاثٌ مُوبِقَاتٌ نَكْثُ الصَّفْقَةِ وَ تَرْكُ السُّنَّةِ وَ فِرَاقُ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَ ثَلَاثٌ مُنْجِيَاتٌ تَكُفُّ لِسَانَكَ وَ تَبْكِي عَلَى خَطِيئَتِكَ وَ تَلْزَمُ‏ بَيْتَكَ‏.

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

‘From Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws, from his^asws father^asws: ‘The Prophet^saww said: ‘Three are grave sins – breaking the allegiance, and neglecting the Sunnah, and separating (from) the community; and three are rescuers – restraining your tongue, and crying over your mistakes (sins), and staying in your house’’.[111]

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

Tafseer Al-Qummi – When Help of Allah comes and the victory [110:1]. He said, ‘It was Revealed at Mina during the Farewell Hajj: When Help of Allah comes and the victory [110:1]. When it was Revealed, Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘I^saww give the news of my^saww passing away, to myself^saww’. Then he^saww went to Masjid Al- Khief, and the people gathered.

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

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

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

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

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

O you people! I^saww leave among you two weighty things. The one, who attaches himself to these two will never go astray nor will he lead anyone astray – The Book of Allah^azwj and my^saww Family, the People^asws of my^saww Household. The Kind and the Aware has Given me^saww the News that these two would never separate until they return to the Fountain like these two fingers’ – and he^saww joined his^saww two forefingers – ‘and I^saww am not saying like these’ – and he^saww joined his^saww forefinger and the middle one – ‘So this would be preferable over the other (meaning both from the right hand, the virtuous ones)’’.[112]

6- كا، الكافي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ قَالَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُ‏ اذْهَبْ بِنَا إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ فَذَهَبْتُ مَعَهُ إِلَيْهِ فَوَجَدْنَاهُ قَدْ رَكِبَ دَابَّتَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ سُفْيَانُ يَا بَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدِّثْنَا بِحَدِيثِ خُطْبَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ قَالَ دَعْنِي حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ فِي حَاجَتِي فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَكِبْتُ فَإِذَا جِئْتُ حَدَّثْتُكَ

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

‘Sufyan Al-Sowry said, ‘Come with us to Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws’. So I went with him to him^asws, and we found him^asws to have ridden his^asws animal. So Sufyan said to him^asws: ‘O Abu Abdullah^asws! Narrate to us with the Hadeeth of the address of Rasool-Allah^saww in Masjid Al- Khief’. He^asws said: ‘Leave me^asws until I^asws go regarding my^asws need, for I^asws have already mounted. So when I^asws come back, I^asws shall narrate to you’.

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

He said: ‘I ask you^asws by your^asws relationship from Rasool-Allah^saww why not narrate to me?’ So he^asws descended, and Sufyan said to him^asws, ‘Order with the ink and the paper until I affirm it’. He^asws called for it, then said: ‘Write! In the Name of Allah^azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. Rasool-Allah^saww addressed the people in Masjid Al- Khief: ‘May Allah^azwj Flourish a servant who hears my^saww speech, so he retains it and delivers it to the one whom it has not reached.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And his^saww words: ‘and the necessity to their^asws gatherings’. So which gathering? The Murjiites are saying, ‘The one who does not pray Salat, and does not Fast, and does not wash from sexual impurities, and demolishes the Kabah, and marries his own mother, so he is upon the faith of Jibraeel^as and Mikaeel^as? Of the Qadiriites who are saying, ‘What Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Desires may not happen and what Iblees^la so desires may happen’? Or the Harouiryya who are disavowing from Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws and are testifying upon him^asws with the disbelief? Or the Jahmiys who are saying, ‘But rather it is the recognition that Allah^azwj is One, there isn’t the Eman anything other than it?’

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

He said, ‘Woe be unto you! And which thing was he^asws saying: ‘I said, ‘He^asws is saying that Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, by Allah^azwj, is the Imam^asws whose advice is Obligated upon us, and the necessitation of their^asws gatherings, the People^asws of his^saww Household’. He brought out the letter and burnt it, then said, ‘Do not inform anyone with it’’.[113]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – Ali, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Hareez, from Bureyd,

‘From Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic continues Looking to a friend of His^azwj, who strived himself with obedience to his Imam^asws and the advice until he will find himself with us^asws among the lofty friends’’.[114]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – The number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Abu Jameela, from Muhammad Al Halby,

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

9- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ فَارَقَ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ نَكَثَ صَفْقَةَ الْإِبْهَامِ جَاءَ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَجْذَمَ‏.

And by this chain, from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘One who separates from a group of Muslims and breaks allegiance of the Imams^asws would come to Allah^azwj the Exalted as mutilated’’.[116]

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

CHAPTER 4 – REWARDS OF LOVING THEM^asws, AND HELPING THEM^asws, AND THEIR^asws WILAYAH, AND IT IS A SECURITY FROM THE FIRE

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

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

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

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

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

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

Notes: –

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

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

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

And in (the book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – From him^asws: ‘And it does not mean the House (Kabah) he^as was calling to. By Allah^azwj! We^asws are the supplication of Ibrahim^as’’.

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

And in (the book) Al-Ihtijaj’ – From Amir Al-Momineen^asws: ‘And the hearts of the people incline towards us^asws, and that is the supplication of Ibrhim^as where he^as said: ‘Therefore Make the hearts of the people to yearn towards them [14:37].

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

And in (the book) ‘Al-Basaair’ – From Al-Sadiq^asws: ‘And make the hearts of the people to incline towards us^asws’’.

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

And it is reported by Ali Bin Ibrahim, ‘From Al-Sadiq^asws: ‘He^azwj is more Exalted to Mean by His^azwj Words: and Sustain them from the fruits [14:37] – fruits of the hearts, i.e., their^asws love to the people for them to go to them^asws’’.

He^saww said: ‘Allah^azwj Blessed and Exalted boasts with you and Forgives for you all generally and for Ali^asws in particular, and I^saww am Rasool-Allah^saww to you, without being partial to my^saww relatives.

هَذَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يُخْبِرُنِي أَنَّ السَّعِيدَ كُلَّ السَّعِيدِ حَقَّ السَّعِيدِ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً فِي حَيَاتِهِ وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهِ وَ أَنَّ الشَّقِيَّ كُلَّ الشَّقِيِّ حَقَّ الشَّقِيِّ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ عَلِيّاً فِي حَيَاتِهِ وَ بَعْدَ وَفَاتِهِ‏.

This is Jibraeel^as informing me^saww that the fortunate of all fortunate ones, as is the right of being fortunate, is one who loves Ali^asws during his^asws lifetime and after his^asws passing away, and the wretched of all wretched is one who hates Ali^asws during his^asws lifetime and after his^asws passing away’’.[117]

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

I (Majlisi) am saying – It is reported by Ibn Shabrama in (the book) ‘Al-Firdows’ – From Ali^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Four, I^saww shall intercede for them on the Day of Qiyamah – the one honouring to my^saww offspring, and the fulfiller for them^asws of their^asws needs, and the striver for them^asws regarding their^asws matters at what they^asws are desperate to it, and the one loving them^asws with his heart, and his tongue’’.[127]

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

Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘One whom Allah^azwj Graces the love of the Imams^asws from People^asws of my^saww Household, so he has achieved good of the world and the Hereafter, therefore no one should doubt that he would be in the Paradise, for the love of People^asws of my^saww Household has twenty characteristics, ten of these in the world and ten in the Hereafter.

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

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

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

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

فَطُوبَى لِمُحِبِّي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي‏.

So, beatitude be for the one who loves People^asws of my^saww Household’’.[128]

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

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

He (the guest) said, ‘Safiyya Bint Huyay Bin Akhtab came to the Prophet^saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! I am not like any of your^asws women. You^saww killed (my) father, and the brother and the uncle. Supposing it occurs with you^saww an event (of death), then to whom (shall I depend on)?’ Rasool-Allah^saww said to her: ‘To this one^asws’, and he^saww indicated to Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws.

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

Then he (the guest) said, ‘Shall I narrate to you all with what Al-Haris Al-Awr had narrated to me with?’ We said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘I entered to see Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws. He^asws said: ‘What have you come for, O Awr!’ I said, ‘Your^asws love, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws!’ He^asws said: ‘(By) Allah^azwj?’ I said, ‘(By) Allah^azwj’.

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

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

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

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

‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! What the matter with us, when you^saww meet them, you^saww meet them with a smiling face, and when you^saww meet us, you^saww meet us with other than that?’

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

‏ قَالَ فَانْتَقَضَ عَلِيٌّ ع انْتِقَاضَ الْعُصْفُورِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا شَأْنُكَ‏ تَجْزَعُ فَقَالَ وَ مَا لِي لَا أَجْزَعُ وَ اللَّهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّهُ يَجْعَلُنَا خُلَفَاءَ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص لَا تَجْزَعْ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُحِبُّكَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ إِلَّا مُنَافِقٌ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Ali^asws stood up like the standing up of the sparrow. The Prophet^saww said to him^asws: ‘What is your^asws matter which affects you^asws so?’ He^asws said: ‘Why should I^asws not be so affected, and Allah^azwj is Saying that He^saww will be Making us^asws to be Caliphs in the earth?’ The Prophet^saww said to him^asws: ‘Do not panic, for by Allah^azwj, no one will love you^asws except for a Momin, and no one would hate you^asws except for a hypocrite’’.[137]

Abu Zarr^ra stood up to him^saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! And what is Al-Islam?’

فَقَالَ ع الْإِسْلَامُ عُرْيَانٌ وَ لِبَاسُهُ التَّقْوَى وَ زِينَتُهُ الْحَيَاءُ وَ مِلَاكُهُ الْوَرَعُ وَ كَمَالُهُ الدِّينُ وَ ثَمَرَتَهُ الْعَمَلُ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَسَاسٌ وَ أَسَاسُ الْإِسْلَامِ حُبُّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ‏.

He^saww said: ‘Al-Islam is bare and its clothing is the piety, and its adornment is the bashfulness, and its kingdom is the devoutness, and its perfection of the Religion, and its fruit is the deed; and for everything there is a foundation, and the foundation of Islam is our^asws love of People^asws of the Household’’.[138]

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

‘It is found in the book of Maysam saying, ‘We spent the evening in the presence of Amir Al-Momineen Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws. He^asws said to us: ‘There isn’t any servant Allah^azwj has Tested his heart for the Eman except he becomes finding our^asws cordiality upon his heart, and a servant cannot become such Allah^azwj is Wrathful upon him except he would find hatred for us^asws upon his heart.

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

We^asws become happy with the love of the one loving us^asws, and we^asws recognise the hatred of the hater to us^asws, and one loving us^asws becomes exultant by our^asws love with the Mercy from Allah^azwj, awaiting it every day, and the hating one becomes laying the foundation of his building upon the edge of the heat (Fire of Hell), and it is as if that edge is rolling with him into the Fire of Hell, and it is as if the gates of Mercy has opened for the companions of the people of Mercy.

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

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

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

And the one who loves us^asws, he would be sincere of our^asws love just as the gold is pure, there being no impurity in it. We^asws are the excellent ones and our^asws matters are the matters of the Prophets^as.

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

And I^asws am a successor^asws of the successors^as, and I^asws am the party of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww; and the rebellious party is the party of Satan^la. So, the one who loves to know his state regarding our^asws love, then let him examine his heart. If he finds in it love for the ones who mobilised against us^asws, then let him know that Allah^azwj is His^azwj enemy, and (so is) Jibraeel^as, and Mikaeel^as, and Allah^azwj is the enemy of the Kafirs’’.[140]

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

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan^asws, ‘Which thing is the most superior of what the servants can draw near to Allah^azwj with, regarding what He^azwj has Obligated upon them?’

فَقَالَ أَفْضَلُ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ الْعِبَادُ إِلَى اللَّهِ طَاعَةُ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَةُ رَسُولِهِ وَ حُبُّ اللَّهِ وَ حُبُّ رَسُولِهِ وَ أُولِي الْأَمْرِ وَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَقُولُ حُبُّنَا إِيمَانٌ وَ بُغْضُنَا كُفْرُ.

He^asws said: ‘The most superior of what the servants can draw nearest to Allah^azwj with is obedience to Allah^azwj and obedience to His^azwj Rasool^saww, and love of Allah^azwj, and love of His^azwj Rasool^saww, and the Masters^asws of the Command. And Abu Ja’far^asws was saying: ‘Love for us^asws is Eman and hatred for us^asws is Kufr’’.[165]

(The book) ‘Kamil Al Ziyaraat’ – My father, from Al Nazr, from Yahya Al Halby, from Ayoub Bin Al Hurr, brother of Adeym who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘You (Shias) are not loving us^asws upon gold nor silver with us^asws’.

قَالَ أَيُّوبُ قَالَ أَصْحَابُنَا وَ قَدْ عَرَفْتُمُ مَوْضِعَ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ.

Ayoub (the narrator) said, ‘Our companions said, ‘And we have recognised the place of gold and silver’’.[167]

‘From Abu Ja’far^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘The comfort, and the rest, and the achievement, and the success, and the salvation, and the Blessings, and the excusing, and the well-being, and the pardon, and the bliss, and the contentment, and the nearness, and kinship, and the help, and the victory, and the enablement, and the cheerfulness, and the love is from Allah^azwj Blessed and Exalted upon the one who loves Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, and befriends him^asws, and makes an Imam^asws with him^asws, and acknowledges with his^asws merits, and is in the Wilayah of the succesors^asws from after him^asws.

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

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

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

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

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

‘I entered to see Abu Ja’far^asws and I said, ‘May my father be (sacrificed for) you^asws! Sometimes the Satan^la is alone with me and my self becomes wicked. Then I remember my love for you (Imams^asws) and my cutting off to you^asws, and myself becomes good’.

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

Tafseer Al Ayyashi – From Bashir Al Dahhan,

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

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

Love for Allah^azwj happens to be for the Sake of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww, and love for the sake of the world. So, whatever was for Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww, its Reward is upon Allah^azwj, and whatever was for the sake of the world, it isn’t (worth) anything’.

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

Then he^asws shook his^asws hand, then said: ‘These Murjiites, and these Qadariyya, and these Khawarijites, there isn’t anyone of them except he views that he is upon the truth, and you (Shias) are rather loving us^asws for the Sake of Allah^azwj’.

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

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

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

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

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari^asws) – ‘The Prophet^saww said from Jibraeel^as, from Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic: “O My^azwj servants! Perform the most superior of the (acts of) obedience and its greatest one, I^azwj shall be Pardoning you all and even if you are deficient in what is besides this one, and leave the biggest (acts of) disobedience and its ugliest one, I^azwj shall not Discuss your indulgence in what is else.

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

The greatest of the (acts of) obedience is My^azwj Tawheed, and the ratification of My^azwj Prophet^saww, and the submission to the one he^saww appointed to be after him^saww, and he^asws is Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws and the Clean Imams^asws, (the Cleaned ones), from his^asws lineage.

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

And the biggest (act of) disobedience and its ugliest one in My^azwj Presence is the Kufr with Me^azwj and with My^azwj Prophet^saww, and the enmity of the Guardian^asws of Muhammad^saww after him^saww, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, and his^as Guardians^asws after him^asws.

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

So if you intend that you should be happening to be, in My^azwj Presence, in the lofty landscape, and (have) the nobility of the noble ones, then no one from My^azwj servants should happen to be more preferable with you than Muhammad^saww, and after him^saww, (more preferable) than his^saww brother^asws Ali^asws, and after them^asws, (more preferable) than their^asws sons^asws, the ones standing with the affair of My^azwj servant after them^asws. Therefore, if someone was from these beliefs, I^azwj shall Make him from the most noble kings in My^azwj Garden.

And know that the most Hateful of the creatures to Me^azwj, is the one who resembles (something) with Me^azwj and leaves My^azwj Lordship; and the most Hateful to Me^azwj after him is the one who (fakes to) resembles with Muhammad^saww and snatches his^saww Prophet-hood and claims it (for himself); and the most Hateful to Me^azwj after him is the one who (fakes to) resembles with the successor^asws of Muhammad^saww and snatches him^asws of his^asws place and his^asws nobility, and claims these; and the most Hateful to Me^azwj after them are the claimants to what they^asws (holy Imams^asws after Ali^asws Ibn Abi Talib^asws) are with, would be exposed to My^azwj Wrath – the one who was from the assisting ones to them upon that; and the most Hateful of the creatures to Me^azwj after them is the one who was pleased with their deeds, and even if he did not happen to be from their assisting ones.

And, similar to that, the most Beloved of the creatures to Me^azwj are the ones standing by My^azwj Right, and the most superior of them to Me^azwj, and the most prestigious one to Me^azwj is Muhammad^saww, Chief of the pious ones; and the most prestigious and superior of them after him^saww is the brother of Al-Mustafa^saww, Ali^asws Al-Murtaza^asws; then from after him^asws, from the ones standing with the equity from the Imams^asws of the Truth; and the most superior of the people after them^asws are the ones who assist them upon their^asws rights; and the most Beloved to Me^azwj after them is the one who loves them^asws and hates their^asws enemies, and even if he was not able upon assisting them^asws!”’[175]

60- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَمَّا خَلَقَ الْعَرْشَ خَلَقَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَ سِتِّينَ أَلْفَ رُكْنٍ وَ خَلَقَ عِنْدَ كُلِّ رُكْنٍ ثَلَاثَمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ وَ سِتِّينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ لَوْ أَذِنَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِأَصْغَرِهِمْ فَالْتَقَمَ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعَ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعَ مَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ بَيْنَ لَهَوَاتِهِ إِلَّا كَالرَّمْلَةِ فِي الْمَفَازَةِ الْفَضْفَاضَةِ

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

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

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

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

Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to their group: “Leave it upon Me^azwj until I^azwj Hold it with My^azwj Power!” So Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Held it by His^azwj Power. Then He^azwj Said to eight of them: ‘Carry it!” But they said, ‘O our Lord^azwj! We and these numerous creatures and the myriads could not bear it, so how can we (eight) bear it now beside them?’

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

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

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

They said, ‘And what are these, O our Lord^azwj?’ He^azwj Said: “You should be saying, ‘In the Name of Allah^azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’ (بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ ), and , ‘There is neither Might nor Strength except with Allah^azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ (لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ), and send Salawat upon Muhammad^saww and his^saww goodly Progeny^asws”.

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

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

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

Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to the rest of those Angels: “Leave My^azwj Throne to be upon the shoulders of these eight in order to carry it, and you (all) should be performing Tawaaf around it, and be Praising Me^azwj and Glorifying Me^azwj and Extolling My^azwj Holiness, for I^azwj, I^azwj am Allah^azwj, the Able upon what you are seeing, and I^asws an Able upon everything”.

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

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

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

They said, ‘And who is he, O Rasool-Allah^saww, so that we can love him and revere him, and we can draw closer to Allah^azwj by his^asws Wilayah’. He^saww said: ‘That is the man, a man who was seated along with companion of his, so a man from the People^asws of my^saww Household passed by, having covered the head so he could not be recognised.

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

When he had passed by them, he turned around, he recognised him. He leapt up standing, barefooted, bareheaded, and grabbed his hand and kissed it, and kissed his head and his chest and what is between his eyes, and said, ‘By my father and my mother, O brother^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww! Your^asws flesh is his^saww flesh, and your^asws blood is his^saww blood, and your^asws knowledge is from his^saww knowledge, and your^asws forbearance is from his^saww forbearance, and your^asws intellect is from his^saww intellect. Ask Allah^azwj that He^azwj Assists me with (having) your^asws love, the People^asws of the Household’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O servants of Allah^azwj! But rather, the people of merit recognise the merit’.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Then Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Do not be surprised at His^azwj Protecting the sky from falling onto the earth, for Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Protect what is greater than that’. They said: ‘What is that?’ He^saww said: ‘Greater than this are the Rewards of the obedience of those that love Muhammad^saww and his^saww Progeny^asws.’

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

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

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

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

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

Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘A greater number than it are the Angels serving the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww being in their^asws service. Are you knowing regarding what they are serving them^asws?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

فَقَالَ ص أَبْشِرْ فَإِنَّ الْمَرْءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ

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

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

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

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari^asws) – ‘One who is habitual of our^asws love of People^asws of the Household, Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic would Open for him, from the Paradise, eight of its doors, and Legalise all of them to enter from whatever (door) from these he so desires, and each door of the Gardens would call out to him: ‘O friend of Allah^azwj!

Kitab ‘Al Rowza’ (and) ‘Al Fazail’ of Ibn Shazan, by the chain raising it to Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansari having said:

‘Rasool-Allah^saww was seated in the Masjid when Ali^asws came, and Hassan^asws was on his^asws right and Al-Husayn^asws on his^asws left. The Prophet^saww stood up and kissed Ali^asws and pressed him^asws to his^saww chest, and kissed Al-Hassan^asws and seated him^asws to his^saww right thigh, and kissed Al-Husayn^asws and seated him^asws to his^asws left thigh. Then he^saww went on kissing them^asws both and touching their^asws lips with his^saww lips and saying: ‘May my^saww father^as (be sacrificed for) your^asws father^asws, and may my^saww father^as (be sacrificed for) your^asws mother^asws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى بَاهَى بِهِمَا وَ بِأَبِيهِمَا وَ بِأُمِّهِمَا وَ بِالْأَبْرَارِ مِنْ وُلْدِهِمَا الْمَلَائِكَةَ جَمِيعاً

Then he^saww said: ‘O you people! Allah^azwj the Glorious and Exalted boasts with them^asws, and their^asws father^asws, and their^asws mother^asws, and the righteous from their^asws children, to all the Angels!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُحِبُّهُمْ وَ أُحِبُّ مَنْ يُحِبُّهُمْ اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَطَاعَنِي فِيهِمْ وَ حَفِظَ وَصِيَّتِي فَارْحَمْهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ فَإِنَّهُمْ أَهْلِي وَ الْقَوَّامُونَ بِدِينِي وَ الْمُحْيُونَ لِسُنَّتِي وَ التَّالُونَ لِكِتَابِ رَبِّي فَطَاعَتُهُمْ طَاعَتِي وَ مَعْصِيَتُهُمْ مَعْصِيَتِي.

Then he^saww said: ‘O Allah^azwj! I^saww love them^asws and love the one who loves them^asws! O Allah^azwj! One who obeys me^saww regarding them^asws and preserves my^saww bequest, Mercy him with Your^azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, for they^asws are my^saww family^asws, and the custodians of my^saww Religion, and the revivers of my^saww Sunnah, and the reciters of the Book of my^saww Lord^azwj, thus obedience to them^asws is obedience to me^saww, and disobedience to them^asws is disobedience to me^saww’’.[190]

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Ghumma’ – from Abdullah bin Al Samit,

‘Son of a brother of Abu Zarr^ra (said), ‘It was narrated to me by Abu Zarr^ra, and he^ra used to listen to and cut off (from others) to Ali^asws and the People^asws of this Household. He said, ‘I^ra said, ‘O Prophet^saww of Allah^azwj! I love a people of what their deeds have reached’.

قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ وَ لَهُ مَا اكْتَسَبَ قُلْتُ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّهِ قَالَ فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ

He^ra said, ‘He^saww said: ‘O Abu Zarr^ra! The person would be with the one he loves, and for him would be what he earns’. I^ra said, ‘So, I love Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww and People^asws of the Household of His^azwj Prophet^saww’. He^saww said: ‘Then you would be with the ones you loved’.

وَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي مَلَإٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ رِجَالٌ مِنْهُمْ فَإِنَّا نُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ لَمْ يَذْكُرُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ فَغَضِبَ وَ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ أَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِمَا يَغْذُوكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ نِعَمِهِ وَ أَحِبُّونِي بِحُبِّ رَبِّي وَ أَحِبُّوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي بِحُبِّي

And Rasool-Allah^saww was in an assembly of his^saww companions and a man from them said, ‘We love Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww’, and did not mention People^asws of his^saww Household. He^saww got angered and said: ‘O you people! Love Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic due to what He^azwj has Provided you with of His^azwj bounties, and love me^saww for the love of my^saww Lord^azwj, and love People^asws of my^saww Household for my^saww love!

فَوَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا صَفَنَ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ صَائِماً وَ رَاكِعاً وَ سَاجِداً ثُمَّ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ غَيْرَ مُحِبٍّ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِي لَمْ يَنْفَعْهُ ذَلِكَ

By the One^azwj in Whose Hand is my^saww soul! If a man were to strive between the corner (of the Kabah) and the standing place (of Ibrahim^as), fasting, and performing Ruku’u and Sajdah, then meets Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic without having loved the People^asws of my^saww Household, that would not benefit him’.

قَالُوا وَ مَنْ أَهْلُ بَيْتُكِ‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْ أَيُّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ هَؤُلَاءِ قَالَ ص مَنْ أَجَابَ مِنْهُمْ دَعْوَتِي وَ اسْتَقْبَلَ قِبْلَتِي وَ مَنْ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ مِنِّي وَ مِنْ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي

They said, ‘And who are the People^asws of your^saww Household, O Rasool-Allah^saww! Of which family of yours^saww are they? He^saww said: ‘Ones from them who answer my^saww call and face towards my^saww Qiblah, and ones whom Allah^azwj Created from me^saww, and from my^saww flesh, and my^saww blood’.

فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ نُحِبُّ اللَّهَ‏ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِ رَسُولِهِ فَقَالَ بَخٍ بَخٍ فَأَنْتُمْ إِذاً مِنْهُمْ‏ أَنْتُمْ إِذاً مِنْهُمْ وَ الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ وَ لَهُ مَا اكْتَسَبَ‏.

They said, ‘We love Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww and People^asws of the Household of His^azwj Rasool^saww’. He^saww said: ‘Congratulations! Congratulations, for then you are from them! Then you are from them, and the person would be with the one he loves, and for him would be what he earns’’.[191]

هَؤُلَاءِ أَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَى وَ أَعْلَامُ التُّقَى مَنْ أَحَبَّهُمْ وَ تَوَالاهُمْ كُنْتُ ضَامِناً لَهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْجَنَّةَ.

They^asws are Imams^asws of guidance, and flags of piety. One whom loves them^asws and in is their^asws Wilayah, I^saww would guarantee the Paradise for him, upon Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[197]

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

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘I^asws and my^asws father^asws went out one day and there he^asws was with a people from our companions between the pulpit and the grave (of Rasool-Allah^saww). He^asws greeted them (Shias), then said, ‘But, by Allah^azwj! I^asws love your aromas, so assist me^asws upon that with piety, and the struggle. One who follows a servant, then let him act with his deeds, and you all are Shias of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, and you are marks of Allah^azwj, and you are helpers of Allah^azwj, and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the latter ones in the world, and the foremost ones in the Hereafter to the Paradise.

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

We^asws have guaranteed the Paradise for you by the Guarantee of Allah^azwj and guarantee of Rasool-Allah^saww and People^asws of his^saww Household. You are the good and your womenfolk are good. Every believing woman is a Hourie, and every Momin is a truthful.

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

How many times Amir Al-Momineen^asws had said to Qanbar: ‘O Qanbar! Receive glad tidings, and give glad tidings, and be joyful of it. By Allah^azwj! Rasool-Allah^saww passed away while he^saww was angry upon the entirety of his^saww community except the Shias.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

B Allah^azwj! There will not be anyone nearer from the Throne of Allah^azwj the Exalted on the Day of Qiyamah than our^asws Shias. How excellently Allah^azwj would Deal with you all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Indeed! And for everything there is an essence, and the essence of the children of Adam^as and its safety are us^asws and our^asws Shias’’.

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

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

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

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

By Allah^azwj! There is no one more intensely loving to you all for the Sake of Allah^azwj than me^asws, therefore assist us^asws upon that with the piety, and the struggle, and the deeds with His^azwj obedience’’.[198]

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Allah^azwj will Command an Angel to inflame the seven Fires and Command Rizwaan (keeper) to decorate the eight Gardens, and He^azwj would Say: “O Mikaeel^as! Extend the bridge over the back of Hell!” And He^azwj will Say: “O Jibraeel^as! Set up the scale of justice beneath the Throne!” And He^azwj will Say: “O Muhammad^saww! Bring your^saww community closer for the Reckoning!”

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

Then Allah^azwj the Exalted will Command him^saww to set-up seven archways upon the bridge, the length of each archway being of seventeen thousand Farsakhs, and upon each archway would be seventy thousand Angels asking this community, their women and their men, upon the first archway about the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen^asws and love of People^asws of the Household of Muhammad^saww.

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

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

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Love Allah^azwj for what He^azwj has Provided all of you with, of His^azwj bounties, and for what He^azwj is Rightful of, and love me^saww for the love of Allah^azwj the Exalted, and love People^asws of my^saww Household for my^saww love’’.[200]

And it is reported by the author of (the book) ‘Al-Kashaf’, and Sa’alby in Tafseer of the Words of Exalted: Say: ‘I do not ask you for recompense over it, [42:23] – the Verse.

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘One who dies upon the love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, dies a martyr. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww dies Forgiven for. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww dies repentant. Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww dies a Momin of complete Eman.

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

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

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

Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad, Allah^azwj will Make the Angels visit his grave with the mercy. Indeed! And one who dies upon love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww dies upon the Sunnah and the congregation.

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

Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww would come on the Day of Qiyamah, with (the words) ‘Despaired from Mercy of Allah^azwj’ written between his eyes. Indeed! And one who dies upon hatred of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww would not (even be able to) smell the aroma of Paradise’’.[201]

‘Salman Al-Farsi^ra was asked about Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws. He^ra said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying: ‘Upon you all is to be with Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, for he^asws is your Master^asws, therefore love him^asws and he^asws is your great one so follow him^asws, and he^asws is your^asws knowledgeable one so honour him^asws, and he^asws is your guide to the Paradise, so adore him^asws.

And whenever he^asws calls you, answer him^asws, and when he^asws orders you, obey him^asws, and love him^asws for (the sake of) my^saww love, and honour him^asws for (the sake of) my^saww honour. I^saww do not say to you regarding Ali^asws except What my^saww Lord^azwj Commands me^saww with’’.[203]

87- وَ أَخْبَرَنِي الشَّرِيفُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ الْحُسَيْنِيُّ وَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ أَبُو الرَّجَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ جَمِيعاً عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الثَّقَفِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ خَلَفٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُهَيْمِنِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ السَّاعِدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَاعِدٌ مَعَ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كُنْتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ فِيهِمْ إِذْ طَلَعَ عَلَيْنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَرَمَاهُ أَبُو ذَرٍّ بِنَظَرِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الْقَوْمِ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ مَنْ لَكُمْ بِرَجُلٍ مَحَبَّتُهُ تُسَاقِطُ الذُّنُوبَ عَنْ مُحِبِّيهِ كَمَا تُسَاقِطُ الرِّيحُ الْعَاصِفُ الْهَشِيمَ مِنَ الْوَرَقِ عَنِ الشَّجَرِ سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ص يَقُولُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ

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

‘While Abu Zarr^ra was seated with a group of companions of Rasool-Allah^saww, and on that day I was among them, when Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws emerged to us. Abu Zarr^ra looked at him^asws then turned his^ra face toward the people and said, ‘What is the matter with you regarding the love a man^asws – for whom the sins would drop from the one who loves him^asws just as the stormy wind drops the dry leaves from the tree? I^ra heard your Prophet^saww say that for him^asws’.

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

They said, ‘Who is he, O Abu Zarr^ra?’ He^ra said, ‘He is that man coming towards you, son^asws of the uncle^as of your Prophet^saww. I heard him^saww saying: ‘Ali^asws is the door of my^saww knowledge, and the clarifier for my^saww community of what I^saww am Sent with, from after me^saww. Loving him^asws is the Eman (faith) and hating him^asws is hypocrisy, and looking at him^as with kindness and cordiality is (an act of) worship.

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

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

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

Then he^asws said: ‘O Abu Zarr^ra! One who works for his Hereafter, Allah^azwj would Suffice him of his world and his Hereafter, and one who is good between him and Allah^azwj, Allah^azwj would Suffice him of that which is between him and His^azwj servants, and one who is good in private, Allah^azwj would be good of his public matters.

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

Luqman^as the wise said to his^as son, and he^as was advising him: ‘O my^as son! Who is that who sought Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic but could not find Him^azwj? And who is that who sheltered to Allah^azwj and He^azwj did not Defend him? One is that who relied upon Allah^azwj and He^azwj did not Suffice him?’

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

Then he^asws went, meaning Ali^asws. Abu Zarr^ra said, ‘By the One^azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Abu Zarr^ra! There is no community who took a leader’ – or said, ‘A man took a leader, and among them is one who is more knowledgeable with Allah^azwj and His^azwj Religion than he is, except that their affairs went down through the drain (lower)’’.[204]

88- كِتَابُ الْمَنَاقِبِ، لِابْنِ شَاذَانَ أُسْتَادِ الْكَرَاجُكِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا عَلِيُ‏ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي فِيكَ بِأَمْرٍ قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِي وَ فَرِحَ بِهِ قَلْبِي

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

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O Ali^asws! Jibraeel^as informed me^saww regarding you^asws with a matter, my^saww eyes were delighted by it and my^saww heart rejoiced by it.

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

He^as said to me: ‘O Muhammad^saww! Allah^azwj the Exalted Said to me: “Convey the greetings to Muhammad^saww from Me^azwj and let him^saww know that Ali^asws is Imam^asws of the guidance, and lamp for the darkness, and the Divine Authority upon the people of the world, for he^asws is the greatest truthful, and the magnificent distributor, and I^azwj Swear by My^azwj Might that I^azwj will not Enter anyone into the Fire who has his^asws Wilayah and submits to him^asws and to the successors^asws from after him^asws.

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

And I^azwj will not Enter into the Paradise one who neglects his^asws Wilayah, and the submission to him^asws and to the succesors^asws from after him^asws, and the Word from Me^azwj will be proven true, I^azwj will Fill Hell and its layers from his^asws enemies, and Fill the Paradise from his^asws friends and his^asws Shias’’.[205]

89- وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَغَضِبَ فَقَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَذْكُرُونَ مَنْ لَهُ مَنْزِلَةٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَمَنْزِلَتِي وَ مَقَامٌ كَمَقَامِي إِلَّا النُّبُوَّةَ

And by his chain from Ibn Umar who said (Non-Shia source – إيضاح دفائن النواصب: 24- 26)

‘We asked Rasool-Allah^saww about Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws. He^saww got angered and said: ‘What is the matter with a people mentioning someone who has a status for him^asws in the Presence of Allah^azwj like my^saww status, and a position like my^saww position, except for the Prophet-hood?

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

Indeed! And the one who loves Ali^asws, so he has loved me^saww, and the one who loves me^saww, Allah^azwj is Pleased from him, and the one whom Allah^azwj is Pleased from, it would suffice him for the Paradise.

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

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

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

Indeed! And one who loves Ali^asws, Allah^azwj would Give him his book in his right hand, and Reckon him a Reckoning of the Prophets^as.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَشْرَبَ مِنَ الْكَوْثَرِ وَ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ شَجَرَةِ طُوبَى وَ يَرَى مَكَانَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ

Indeed! And one who loves Ali^asws will not exit from the world until he drinks from Al-Kawser and eats from the tree of Tooba, and sees his place from the Paradise.

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

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

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

Indeed! And one who recognises Ali^asws and loves him^asws, Allah^azwj would Send the Angel of death to him just as He^azwj Sent to the Prophets^as, and Repel from him the terror of Munkar and Nakeer (questioning Angels), and radiate his grave and expand it to a travel distance of seventy years, and whiten his face on the Day of Qiyamah.

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً أَظَلَّهُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِهِ مَعَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ آمَنَهُ مِنَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ أَهْوَالِ يَوْمِ الصَّاخَّةِ

Indeed! And one who loves Ali^asws, Allah^azwj would Shade him in the Shade of His^azwj Throne with the truthful, and the martyrs, and the righteous, and Secure him from the great panic and terror of the Day of loud noise (Qiyamah).

أَلَا وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً تَقَبَّلَ اللَّهُ‏ مِنْهُ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَ تَجَاوَزَ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِهِ وَ كَانَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ رَفِيقَ حَمْزَةَ سَيِّدِ الشُّهَدَاءِ

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

‘I heard Al-Reza^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws, from Amir Al-Momineen^asws having said: ‘I^asws heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying: ‘I^saww heard Allah^azwj, Majestic is His^azwj Majesty Saying: “Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is My^azwj Divine Authority upon My^azwj creatures, and My^azwj Noor (Light) in My^azwj Country, and My^azwj Trustee upon My^azwj Knowledge. I^azwj will not Enter into the Fire one who recognises him^asws, and even if he had disobeyed Me^azwj, and I^azwj will not Enter into the Paradise one who denies him^asws, and even if he obeyed Me^azwj’’.[208]

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

And from Ibn Umar who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘One who wants to rely upon Allah^azwj, then let him love People^asws of my^saww Household; and one who wants to be saved from punishment of the grave, then let him love People^asws of my^saww Household; one who wants the wisdom, then let him love People^asws of my^saww Household; and one who wants entry into the Paradise without any Reckoning, then let him love People^asws of my^saww Household. No would love them except he would profit in the world and the Hereafter’’.[209]

And from Ibn Masoud who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws would sit upon Al-Firdows, and it is a mountain which towers upon the Paradise, and above it is Throne of Lord^azwj of the worlds, and from its base burst out the rivers of the Paradise and separate into the Gardens.

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

And he^asws will sit upon a chair of Noor (light), the (river) Tasneem would be flowing in front of him^asws. No one will be allowed upon the bridge except and with him would be a freedom pass with his^asws Wilayah and Wilayah of People^asws of his^asws Household. He^asws will overlook upon the Paradise and enter ones who love him^asws into the Paradise, and ones who hate him^asws into the Fire’’.[210]

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

And from Salman Al-Farsi^ra who said, ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O Salman^ra! One who loves my^saww daughter^asws (Syeda) Fatima^asws would be in the Paradise with me^saww, and the one who hates her^asws would be in the Fire.

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

O Salman^ra! Love of (Syeda) Fatima^asws benefits in one hundred places, the least of those places is the death, and the grave, and the scale, and the resurrection, and the bridge, and the Reckoning.

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

One whom my^saww daughter^asws (Syeda) Fatima^asws is pleased from, I^saww would be pleased from him, and one I^saww am pleased from, Allah^azwj would be Pleased from him; and one whom (Syeda) Fatima^asws is angered upon, I^saww am angered upon him, and one I^saww am angered upon, Allah^azwj would be Angered upon him. O Salman^ra! Woe be for the one who oppresses her^asws and oppresses her^asws offspring and her^asws Shias’’.[211]

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

And from Sumrah who said,

‘And the Prophet^saww used to turn towards his^saww companions every morning with his^saww face and say: ‘Has anyone of you seen a dream (last night)?’ One day the Prophet^saww woke up in the morning and said: ‘I^saww saw my^saww uncle Hamza^asws in the dream, and son^asws of my^saww uncle^asws Ja’far^asws, and in their^asws hands was a pot of figs and they^asws were eating from it. It was not long before these transformed into dates, and they^asws ate from it.

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

I^saww said to them^asws: ‘What did you^asws both find as being the most superior of the good deeds in the Hereafter?’ They^asws said, ‘The Salat and love of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, and secretive charity’’.[212]

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

And by his chain from Bilal Bin Hamama who said,

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

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

He^saww said: ‘Glad tidings came to me^saww from my^saww Lord^azwj regarding my^saww brother^asws and son^asws of my^saww uncle^as, and (regarding) my^saww daughter^asws, and that Allah^azwj has got Ali^asws married to (Syeda) Fatima^asws and Commanded Rizwan, keeper of the Paradise to shake the tree of Tooba. So, it bore parchments, meaning instruments (deeds) of the number of the ones who love People^asws of my^saww Household, and Angels of light grew from underneath these, and a deed was handed over to each Angel.

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

So, when the (Day of) Qiyamah would be evened out with its inhabitants, the Angels would call out among the creatures, so they will not meet anyone who loves us^asws People^asws of the Household except an a deed would be handed over to him wherein would be his freedom from the Fire by my^saww brother^asws and son^asws of my^saww uncle^as, and my^saww daughter, freeing the men and the women from my^saww community from the Fire’’.[213]

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

And from Ayoub Al Sijistany who said,

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

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

He said, ‘I was standing in front of the Prophet^saww in the Masjid of Al-Medina and he^saww was sitting on the turf. He^saww said to me: ‘Go quickly and come with Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws!’ I went, and there was Ali^asws and (Syeda) Fatima^asws. I said to him^asws, ‘The Prophet^saww is calling you^asws’.

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

Ali^asws came and he^saww said: ‘O Ali^asws! Greet unto Jibraeel^as’. Ali^asws said: ‘The greeting be unto you^as, O Jibraeel^as’. He^as returned the greetings. The Prophet^saww said: ‘Jibraeel^as is saying that Allah^azwj Conveys the greetings unto you^as and says: “Beatitude is for you^asws and for your^asws Shias and ones who love you^asws, and the woe, then the woe is for ones who hate you^asws!

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

When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a caller will call out from interior of the Throne: “Where are Muhammad^saww and Ali^asws?” Both of you^asws would be raised to the sky until you^asws stand in front of Allah^azwj. He^azwj will Say to His^azwj Prophet^saww: “Take Ali^asws to the Fountain and give him^asws this cup until he^asws quenches ones who love him^asws, and his^asws Shias, and he^asws should not quench anyone from his^asws enemies, and order for ones who love him^asws that they be Reckoned with an easy Reckoning, and commands them to (be taken to) the Paradise!”’[214]

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

And from Umar Bin Al Khattab who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying: ‘Allah^azwj the Exalted Created creatures of light of the face of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, seventy thousand (upon) thousand Angels, praising Him^azwj, and extolling His^azwj Holiness, and (Rewards of) that would be written for ones who love him^asws, and love his^asws sons^asws’’.[215]

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

And by his chain, from Al-Sadiq^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Jibraeel^as narrated to me^saww, from the Lord^azwj of Might, Majestic is His^azwj Majesty having Said: “One who knows (acknowledges that there is no god except I^azwj Alone, and Muhammad^saww is My^azwj servant, and My^azwj Rasool^as, and Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is My^azwj Caliph, and the Imams^asws from his^asws sons^asws are My^azwj Divine Authorities, I^azwj shall Enter him into the Paradise by My^azwj Mercy and Save him from the Fire by My^azwj Pardoning, and Allow My^azwj Vicinity for him, and Obligate My^azwj Benevolence for him, and Complete My^azwj Favours upon him, and Make him to be from My^azwj special ones and My^azwj sincere ones!”

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

If he calls Me^azwj, I^azwj shall Attend to him, and if he supplicated to Me^azwj I^azwj shall Answer him, and if he asks Me^azwj I^azwj shall Grant him, and if he is silent, I^azwj shall Initiate him.

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

And if he offends, I^azwj shall Mercy him, and if he flees from Me^azwj, I^azwj shall Invite him, and if he returns to Me^azwj I^azwj shall Accept him, and if he knocks on My^azwj Door I^azwj shall Open it.

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

And one who does not testify that there is no god except I^azwj Alone, or testifies with that and does not testify that Muhammad^saww is My^azwj servant and My^azwj Rasool^saww, or testifies with that and does not testify that Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws is My^azwj Caliph, or testifies with that and does not testify that the Imams^asws from his^asws sons^asws are My^azwj Divine Authorities, so he has rejected My^azwj bounty, and belittled My^azwj Magnificent, and disbelieved in My^azwj Signs and My^azwj Books and My^azwj Rasools^as.

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

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

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

Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! And who are the Imams^asws from the sons^asws of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws?’

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

He^saww said: ‘He^saww said: ‘Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws are chiefs of the inhabitants of the Paradise, then chief of the worshippers during his^asws time Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn, then Al-Baqir Muhammad^asws Bin Ali^asws, and you will come across him^asws, O Jabir! So, when you do come across him^asws, then convey to him^asws the greetings from me^saww.

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

They, O Jabir, are my^saww caliphs, and my^saww succesors^asws, and my^saww offspring. One who obeys them^asws so he had obeyed me^saww, and one who disobeys them^asws, so he has disobeyed me^saww, and one who denies them^asws or denies (even) one of them^asws, so he has denied me^saww.

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

And by them^asws, Allah^azwj Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His^azwj Permission, and by them^asws Allah^azwj Protects the earth from shaking with its inhabitants’’.[216]

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

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

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

Indeed! And one who loves Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww would be safe from the Reckoning, and the scale, and the bridge. Indeed! And one who dies upon the love of Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, so I^saww am his guarantor of the Paradise with the Paradise. Indeed!

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

Indeed! And one who hates Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww would come on the Day of Qiyamah with a writing between his eyes: ‘Despaired from Mercy of Allah^azwj’’.[217]

And from Muhammad^asws Bin Ali Al-Taqi^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws, from Al-Baqir^asws, from (Syeda) Fatima^asws Bint Al-Husayn^asws, from her^as father^asws, and her^as uncle Al-Hassan^asws Bin Ali^asws, from Amir Al-Momineen^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When I^saww entered the Paradise, I^saww saw therein a tree bearing the jewellery and the garments. Its lower part had spotted horses, and its middle part has the Maiden Houries, and in its top part was Al-Rizwaan (keeper).

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

I^saww said to Jibraeel^as: ‘For whom is this tree?’ He^as said: ‘This is for the son^asws of your^saww uncle^as Amir Al-Momineen^asws. When Allah^azwj Commands the creatures to enter the Paradise, Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws would come with Shias until he^asws ends up with them to this tree. They would be wearing the ornaments and the garments, and they would be riding the spotted horses, and a caller will call out: ‘They are the Shias of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws! They were patient in the world upon the harm, so they are awarded today!’’[218]

102 وَ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ‏ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ لَقِيَنِي أَبِي نُوحٌ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ خَلَّفْتَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَقُلْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْخَلِيفَةُ خَلَّفْتَ

And from Al-Reza^asws, from his^asws forefathers^asws, from Al-Husayn^asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When there was an ascension with me to the sky, my^saww father^as Noah^as met me^saww. He^as said: ‘O Muhammad^saww! Whom have you^saww made left behind (as caliph) upon your^saww community?’ I^saww said: ‘Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws’. He^as said: ‘Best is the caliph you^saww left behind’.

ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي أَخِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ خَلَّفْتَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَقُلْتُ عَلِيّاً فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْخَلِيفَةُ خَلَّفْتَ

Then my^saww brother^as Musa^as met me^saww. He^as said: ‘O Muhammad^saww! Whom have you^saww left behind (as caliph) upon your^saww community?’ I^saww said: ‘Ali^asws’. He^as said: ‘Best is the caliph you^saww left behind’.

ثُمَّ لَقِيَنِي أَخِي عِيسَى فَقَالَ لِي مَنْ خَلَّفْتَ عَلَى أُمَّتِكَ فَقُلْتُ عَلِيّاً فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الْخَلِيفَةُ خَلَّفْتَ

Then my^saww brother^as Isa^as met me^saww. He^as said to me^saww: ‘Whom have you^saww left behind?’ I^saww said: ‘Ali^asws’. He^as said: ‘Best is the caliph you^saww left behind’.

He^saww said: ‘I^saww said to Jibraeel^as: ‘O Jibraeel^as! What is the matter I^saww do not see Ibrahim^as?’ He^as diverted me^saww to a yard, and there was a tree therein having udders for it like the udders of the sheep (feeding children). Every time an udder came out from a mouth of one (child) Allah^azwj the Exalted returned it to him.

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

He^as said: ‘O Muhammad^saww! Whom have you^saww left behind upon your^saww community?’ I^saww said: ‘Ali^asws’. He^as said: ‘Best is the caliph you^saww have left behind. O Muhammad^saww! I^as asked Allah^azwj, my^as Lord^azwj to Make me^as to be in charge of providing the (deceased) children of the Shias of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, so I^as am providing (feeding) them up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.[219]

(The book) ‘A’lam Al Deen’ of Al Daylami, from the book of Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Safwan,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘One who loves us^asws and meets Allah^azwj (as such), and upon him are sins like the foam of the sea, he would have a right upon Allah^azwj that He^azwj Forgives these for him’’.[220]

104 وَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ حُبَيْشِ بْنِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيٍّ ع وَ هُوَ فِي الرَّحْبَةِ مُتَّكِئاً فَقُلْتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ

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

‘I entered to see Ali^asws and he^asws was in Al-Rahba, reclining. I said, ‘The greeting be upon you^asws, O Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and Mercy of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Blessings! How is your^asws morning?’

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

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

105 وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِدَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِ‏ أَ لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ الَّتِي مَنْ جَاءَ بِهَا أَمِنَ مِنْ فَزَعِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ الَّتِي مَنْ جَاءَ بِهَا أَكَبَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ الْحَسَنَةُ حُبُّنَا وَ السَّيِّئَةُ بُغْضُنَا.

And Abu Abdullah^asws said to Dawood Al-Raqy: ‘Shall I^asws narrate to you with the good deed which, one who comes with it, would be safe from the panic of the Day of Qiyamah, and with the evil deed which, one who comes with it, Allah^azwj would Fling him upon his face into the Fire?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘The good deed is loving us^asws, and the evil deed is hating us^asws’’.[222]

106 وَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فَقَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ فَقُلْتُ حُبُّكَ فَقَالَ اللَّهَ اللَّهَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ إِلَّا حُبِّي فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ

And from Al Haris Al Awr who said,

‘I came to Amir Al-Momineen^asws. He^asws said: ‘What have you come with?’ I said, ‘Your^asws love’. He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj! Allah^azwj! You have not come with except my^asws love?’ I said, ‘Yes’.

فَقَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي سَأُحَدِّثُكَ بِشُكْرِهَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ يُحِبُّنِي حَتَّى يَرَانِي حَيْثُ يُحِبُّ وَ لَا يَمُوتُ عَبْدٌ يُبْغِضُنِي حَتَّى يَرَانِي حَيْثُ يَكْرَهُهُ.

He^asws said: ‘But, I^asws shall narrate to you with its appreciation. Verily, no servant dies loving me^asws until he sees me where he loves, nor does a servant die hating me^asws until he sees me^asws where he dislikes’’.[223]

107 وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لِعُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ يَا بَا صَخْرٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعْطِي الدُّنْيَا لِمَنْ يُحِبُّهُ وَ يُبْغِضُ وَ لَا يُعْطِي هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا أَهْلَ صَفْوَتِهِ أَنْتُمْ وَ اللَّهِ عَلَى دِينِي وَ دِينِ آبَائِي.

And Abu Abdullah^asws said to Umar Bin Hanzala: ‘O Sakhr! Allah^azwj Gives the world to the one He^azwj Loves and Hates, and does not Give this matter (Wilayah) except to the people of its purity. By Allah^azwj! You (Shias) are upon my^asws Religion, and Religion of my^asws forefathers^asws’’.[224]

108 وَ قَالَ ع‏ وَ اللَّهِ لَنَشْفَعَنَّ وَ اللَّهِ لَنَشْفَعَنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ حَتَّى يَقُولَ عَدُوُّنَا فَما لَنا مِنْ شافِعِينَ وَ لا صَدِيقٍ حَمِيمٍ‏

And he^asws said: ‘By Allah^azwj, we^asws will be interceding! By Allah^azwj, we^asws will be interceding!’ – three times, ‘To the extent that our^asws enemies will be saying, So, there is none for us from the intercessors [26:100] Nor an intimate friend [26:101].

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

Our^asws Shias would be holding to our^asws sides, and we^asws would be holding to the side of our^asws Prophet^saww, and our Prophet^saww would be holding with the Side (Light) of Allah^azwj’’.[225]

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

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

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

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

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

And a man said to Rasool-Allah^saww, ‘Surely I love you^saww!’ He^saww said: ‘You love me^saww?’ The man said, ‘Yes, by Allah^azwj’. The Prophet^saww said: ‘You will be with the one you love’’.[226]

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

‘Al-Sadiq^asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The people will separate in (various) branches, and you (Shias) would refer to People^asws of the Household of your Prophet^saww, for you want what Allah^azwj Wants, and you love the ones Allah^azwj Loves, and you choose what Allah^azwj Chooses.

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

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

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

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

He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj has Mentioned you (Shias) in His^azwj Mighty Book from a speaker, men who ratified what they made a pact with Allah upon. [33:23]. He^azwj Intends you (Shias). You were loyal with His^azwj Covenant which was Taken upon you all of our^asws Wilayah, and you did not replace others with us^asws.

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

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

He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj has Mentioned you (Shias) in His^azwj Book where He^azwj Said: as brethren upon couches face to face [15:47]. By Allah^azwj! Allah^azwj does not Mean by this apart from you (Shias). Have I^asws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, increase for me’.

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

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

He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj the Exalted has Excluded you (Shias) from the Satan^la: there wouldn’t be any authority for you upon them, [15:42]. By Allah^azwj! He^azwj did not Mean by this apart from you (Shias). Have I^asws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, increase for me’.

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

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

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

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

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

He^asws said: ‘Allah^azwj the Exalted has Mentioned you (Shias) in His^azwj Book where He^azwj Says: ‘Are they equal, those who do not know and those do know?’ But rather, the ones of the understanding will heed [39:9]. We^asws are those who know, and our^asws enemies are those who do not know, and our^asws Shias, they are the ones of understanding’. I said, ‘Increase for me, O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww!’

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

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

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

By Allah^azwj! There is no one upon the Religion of Muhammad^saww and Nation (Religion) of Ibrahim^as apart from us^asws and you (Shias), and the rest of the people are away from you. O Abu Muhammad^saww! Have I^asws cheered you?’ I said, ‘Yes, O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww, and may I be sacrificed for you^asws’. Then I left happy’’.[228]

112 وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى‏ فَلَا اقْتَحَمَ الْعَقَبَةَ فَقَالَ مَنِ انْتَحَلَ وَلَايَتَنَا فَقَدْ جَازَ الْعَقَبَةَ فَنَحْنُ تِلْكَ الْعَقَبَةُ الَّتِي مَنِ اقْتَحَمَهَا نَجَا

And from Abu Abdullah^asws regarding Words of the Exalted: But he does not attempt the uphill road [90:11]. He^asws said: ‘One who embraces our^asws Wilayah, so he has crossed the uphill road. We^asws are that uphill road which, one who attempts it, would attain salvation.

ثُمَّ مَهْلًا أُفِيدُكَ حَرْفاً هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى‏ فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى فَكَّ رِقَابَكُمْ مِنَ النَّارِ بِوَلَايَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ أَنْتُمْ صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ يَأْتِي بِذُنُوبٍ مِثْلِ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ لَشَفَعْنَا فِيهِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Then let me^asws briefly benefit you with a phrase which is better for you than the world and whatever is in it, the Words of the Exalted: Freeing a neck [90:13]. Allah^azwj has Freed your (Shias) necks from the Fire due to our^asws Wilayah of People^asws of the Household, and you are the elites of Allah^azwj, and even if the man from you were to come with sins like the grains of sand of a desert, we^asws shall intercede regarding him in the Presence of Allah^azwj the Exalted.

فَلَكُمُ الْبُشْرَى‏ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ لا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِماتِ اللَّهِ ذلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ‏.

Thus, the glad tidings are for you (Shias), in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. There is no replacement for the Words of Allah. That is the Mighty achievement [10:64]’’.[229]

113 وَ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَنَا وَ عَلْقَمَةُ بْنُ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ وَ أَبُو حَسَّانَ الْعِجْلِيُّ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ نَنْتَظِرُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً وَ أَهْلًا وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ رِيحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَعَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ

And from Muyassir who said,

‘I, and Alqamah Bin Al-Hazramy, and Abu Hassan Al-Ijaly, and Abdullah Bin Ijlan were awaiting Abu Ja’far^asws. He^asws came out to us and said: ‘Be/Stay Blessed and welcome! By Allah^azwj, I^asws love your aromas and your spirits. You are upon the Religion of Allah^azwj’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلْقَمَةُ فَمَنْ كَانَ عَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ تَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ

Al-qamah said to him^asws, ‘So the one who was upon the Religion of Allah^azwj, do you^asws testify that he would be from the inhabitants of the Paradise?’

قَالَ فَمَكَثَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ بُورُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُونُوا قَارَفْتُمُ الْكَبَائِرَ فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ قُلْنَا وَ مَا الْكَبَائِرُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^asws paused for a while, then said: ‘Purify yourselves, if you do not happen to be disgraced by the major sins, then I^asws testify’. We said, ‘And what are the major sins?’

قَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ أَكْلُ‏ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ وَ قَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَةِ وَ عُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَ قَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَ الرِّبَا وَ الْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ قَالَ مَا مِنَّا أَحَدٌ أَصَابَ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئاً

He^asws said: ‘The Shirk (association) with Allah^azwj the Magnificent, and devouring wealth of the orphan, and slandering the married woman, and disloyalty with the parents, and killing the soul (without right), and the usury (interest), and fleeing from the army’. He said, ‘There is no one from us doing anything from this’.

فَقَالَ فَأَنْتُمْ إِذاً نَاجُونَ فَاجْعَلُوا أَمْرَكُمْ هَذَا لِلَّهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلُوهُ لِلنَّاسِ فَإِنَّهُ مَا كَانَ لِلنَّاسِ فَهُوَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ

He^asws said: ‘Then you shall attain salvation, therefore make this matter of yours to be for the Sake of Allah^azwj and do not make it to be for the sake of the people. Whatever would be for the people, so it is for the people, and whatever would be for Allah^azwj, it would be for Him^azwj.

فَلَا تُخَاصِمُوا النَّاسَ بِدِينِكُمْ فَإِنَّ الْخُصُومَةَ مَمْرَضَةٌ لِلْقَلْبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ص‏ إِنَّكَ لا تَهْدِي مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ أَ فَأَنْتَ تُكْرِهُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ‏.

Do not contend (argue) the people with your Religion, for the contention is a disease of the heart. Allah^azwj Said to His^azwj Prophet^saww: Surely, you cannot guide the one you love, but Allah will Guide the one He so Desires to [28:56]. And He^azwj Said: So will you force the people until they become Momineen? [10:99]’’.[230]

114 وَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ شِيعَتُنَا أَقْرَبُ الْخَلْقِ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

And from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘Our^asws Shias would be the closest of the creature from the Throne of Allah^azwj on the Day of Qiyamah’.

وَ قَالَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ تَحِيَّةِ اللَّهِ بِالسَّلَامِ وَ أَهْلُ أَثَرَةِ اللَّهِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ تَوْفِيقِ اللَّهِ بِعِصْمَتِهِ وَ أَهْلُ دَعْوَتِهِ بِطَاعَتِهِ‏ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لا أَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ‏

And he^asws said: ‘You (Shias) are the people of the Salutations of Allah^azwj with the Islam, and the people Allah^azwj Preferred with His^azwj Mercy, and people of the Inclination of Allah^azwj by His^azwj Protection, and people of His^azwj Call with His^azwj obedience. There will neither be fear upon you nor will you be grieving.

أَسْمَاؤُكُمْ عِنْدَنَا الصَّالِحُونَ الْمُصْلِحُونَ وَ أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ الرِّضَا لِرِضَائِهِ عَنْكُمْ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ إِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الْخَيْرِ فَإِذَا اجْتَهَدْتُمْ ادْعُوا وَ إِذَا أَذْنَبْتُمْ اسْتَغْفِرُوا

Your names with us^asws are ‘the righteous ones’, ‘the reconcilers’, and you are the people pleased to His^azwj Pleasure, and the Angels are your brothers in the goodness. So, whenever you struggle, they supplicate, and whenever you commit sins, they seek Forgiveness.

وَ أَنْتُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ بَعْدَنَا دِيَارُكُمْ لَكُمْ جَنَّةٌ وَ قُبُورُكُمْ لَكُمْ جَنَّةٌ- لِلْجَنَّةِ خُلِقْتُمْ وَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نَعِيمُكُمْ وَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ تَسِيرُونَ.

And you are the best of the created beings after us^asws. Your houses are a garden (paradise) for you, and your graves are a garden for you. You were created for the Paradise, and in the Paradise would be your bliss, and to the Paradise you will be travelling’’.[231]

115 وَ رَوَى خَالِدُ بْنُ نَجِيحٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ مَرْحَباً بِكُمْ وَ أَهْلًا وَ سَهْلًا وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَسْتَأْنِسُ بِرُؤْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّكُمْ مَا أَحْبَبْتُمُونَا لِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ لَكِنْ لِقَرَابَتِنَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

And it is reported by Khalid Bin Najeeh who said,

‘We entered to see Abu Abdullah^asws. He^asws said: ‘Hell to you all and welcome, and ease. By Allah^azwj! We^asws get comforted by sighting you (Shias). But, you are not loving us^asws due to the nearness between us^asws and you, but for the nearness of us^asws from Rasool-Allah^saww.

فَالْحُبُّ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى غَيْرِ دُنْيَا أَصَبْتُمُوهَا مِنَّا وَ لَا مَالٍ أُعْطِيتُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجَبْتُمُونَا فِي تَوْحِيدِ اللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

The love for Rasool-Allah^azwj is upon without any worldly matter you can attain from us^asws nor wealth we^asws are giving you upon it. You are loving us^asws regarding Tawheed of Allah^azwj Alone, there being no associate for Him^azwj.

إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَضَى عَلَى أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ فَقَالَ‏ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ هالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ‏ وَ لَيْسَ يَبْقَى إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ

Allah^azwj Decreed upon the inhabitants of the skies and inhabitants of the earth Saying: All things will perish except for His Face [28:88], and nothing will last except Allah^azwj Alone, there being no associate for Him^azwj.

اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا كَانُوا مَعَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَاجْعَلْهُمْ مَعَهُمْ فِي الْآخِرَةِ اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا كَانَ سِرُّهُمْ عَلَى سِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتُهُمْ عَلَى عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ فَاجْعَلْهُمْ فِي ثِقْلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

O Allah^azwj! Just as they have been with Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww in the world, so Make them to be with them^asws in the Hereafter. O Allah^azwj! Just as they had been secretive upon their^asws secretiveness, and opened upon their^asws openness, so Make them to be among the important ones of Muhammad^saww on the Day of Qiyamah’’.[232]

116 وَ سَأَلَهُ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى‏ وَ مَنْ يُؤْتَ الْحِكْمَةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْراً كَثِيراً مَا عَنَى بِذَلِكَ

And Abu Baseer asked him^asws about the Words of Allah^azwj the Exalted: And the one who is Given the Wisdom, so he has been Given abundant good [2:269], ‘What is the meaning of that?’

فَقَالَ مَعْرِفَةَ الْإِمَامِ وَ اجْتِنَابَ الْكَبَائِرِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ‏ وَ لَيْسَ فِي رَقَبَتِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لِإِمَامٍ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً وَ لَا يُعْذَرُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى يَعْرِفُوا إِمَامَهُمْ

He^asws said: ‘Recognition of the Imam^asws and shunning the major sins; and one who dies and there isn’t in his neck an allegiance to the Imam^asws, dies a death of the pre-Islamic period, nor are the people excused until they do recognise their Imam^asws.

فَمَنْ مَاتَ وَ هُوَ عَارِفٌ لِإِمَامِهِ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ تَقَدَّمَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ أَوْ تَأَخَّرَ فَكَانَ كَمَنْ هُوَ مَعَ الْقَائِمِ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ

So, the one who dies and he is a recogniser of his Imam^asws, it would not harm him whether this command (rising of Al-Qaim^asws) is brought forward or delayed, and he would be like the one who is with Al-Qaim^asws in his^asws tent’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ مَكَثَ هُنَيْئَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ كَمَنْ قَاتَلَ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا بَلْ وَ اللَّهِ كَمَنِ اسْتُشْهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he^asws paused for a while, then said: ‘No, but like the one who fought alongside him^asws’. Then he^asws said: ‘No, but, by Allah^azwj, like the one who was martyred with Rasool-Allah^saww’’.[233]

117 وَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع- لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ نَهَراً أَبْيَضَ مِنَ اللَّبَنِ وَ أَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ فِيهِ أَبَارِيقُ عَدَدَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى شَاطِئِهِ قِبَابُ الْيَاقُوتِ الْأَحْمَرِ وَ الدُّرِّ الْأَبْيَضِ فَضَرَبَ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِجَنَاحِهِ إِلَى جَانِبِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ

And from Al Haris Bin Al Ahowl who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far^asws saying: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said to Ali^asws: ‘When there was an ascension (Mi’raj) with me^saww, I^saww saw in the Paradise, a river whiter than milk, and sweeter than honey, and straighter than an arrow. In it were pitchers the number of the stars. Upon its banks were domes of red sapphire, and while gems. So Jibraeel^as flapped his^as wings to its side, so it was yellow Musk’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّ فِيهَا لَشَجَراً يُصَفِّقْنَ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ بِصَوْتٍ لَمْ يَسْمَعِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخَرُونَ بِمِثْلِهِ يُثْمِرْنَ أَثْدَاءً كَالرُّمَّانِ تُلْقِي الثَّمَرَةَ إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَيَشُقُّهَا عَنْ سَبْعِينَ حُلَّةً وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَا عَلِيُّ عَلَى كَرَاسِيَّ مِنْ نُورٍ وَ هُمُ الْغُرُّ الْمُحَجَّلُونَ وَ أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ نَعْلَانِ يُضِي‏ءُ لَهُ شِرَاكُهُمَا أَمَامَهُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ

Then he^saww said: ‘By the One is Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad^saww, in the Paradise there are trees which Glorify with the Glorification with a sound which none from the Former ones or the Later ones have heard the like of, bearing fruit like the pomegranate fruits. The fruit it place for the man from seventy curtains, and the Believers would be upon the chairs of Light, honourable, resplendent faced. You^asws are their Imam^asws on the Day of Judgement. Upon the man would be sandals with straps of light, illuminating their front wherever they may go in the Paradise.

فَبَيْنَا الْمُؤْمِنُ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ فَتَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا لَنَا مِنْكَ دَوْلَةٌ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ أَنْتِ فَتَقُولُ أَنَا مِنَ اللَّوَاتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ وَ لَدَيْنا مَزِيدٌ

While the Momin would be like that when a woman overlook upon him from above them and she would say, ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj! O servant of Allah^azwj, is there no right for us from you?’ He would say, ‘And who are you?’ She would say, ‘I am from those Allah^azwj Said: and with Us would be more yet [50:35].

فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَشْرَفَتْ عَلَيْهِ أُخْرَى مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ فَتَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ أَ مَا لَنَا مِنْكَ دَوْلَةٌ فَيَقُولُ وَ مَنْ أَنْتِ فَتَقُولُ أَنَا مِنَ اللَّوَاتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ فَلا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ ما أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزاءً بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ‏

While he is like that when another would overlook from above them and she would say, ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj, O servant of Allah^azwj! Is there no right for us from you?’ He would say, ‘And who are you?’ She would say, ‘I am from those Allah^azwj Said: So no soul knows what is hidden for them from delight of the eyes, being a Recompense of what they had been doing [32:17]’’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَيَجِيئُهُ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُسَمُّونَهُ بِاسْمِهِ وَ اسْمِ أَبِيهِ.

Then he^asws said: ‘By the One^azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad^saww! Seventy thousand Angels would come to him, naming him with his name and name of his father’’. [234]

118 وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ وَفَدَ إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَفْدٌ فَقَالُوا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَنَا وَفَدُوا إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ وَفَدْنَا نَحْنُ إِلَيْكَ

And Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘A delegation came to Al-Husayn^asws and they said, ‘O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww! Our companions have sent a delegation to Muawiya and we have come as a delegation to you^asws’.

فَقَالَ إِذَنْ أُجِيزُكُمْ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا يُجِيزُهُمْ فَقَالُوا جُعِلْنَا فِدَاكَ إِنَّمَا جِئْنَا لِدِينِنَا

He^asws said: ‘Then you will be Recompensed with more than what they would be recompensed’. They said, ‘May we be sacrificed for you^asws! But rather, we came for our Religion (not for worldly matters)’.

قَالَ فَطَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ وَ نَكَتَ‏ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ أَطْرَقَ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ قَصِيرَةٌ مِنْ طَوِيلَةٍ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا لَمْ يُحِبَّنَا لِقَرَابَةٍ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُ وَ لَا لِمَعْرُوفٍ أَسْدَيْنَاه إِلَيْهِ إِنَّمَا أَحَبَّنَا لِلَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ جَاءَ مَعَنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَهَاتَيْنِ‏ وَ قَرَنَ بَيْنَ سَبَّابَتَيْهِ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^asws lowered his^asws head and drew lines in the ground and kept his^asws head down for a long time. Then he^asws raised his^asws head and said: ‘Short from the long, one who loves us^asws, not loving us^asws for nearness between us^asws and him, nor for an act of kindness we^asws would do to him, but rather loving us^asws for the Sake of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww, would come with us^asws on the Day of Qiyamah like these two’ – and he^asws paired between his^asws fingers’’.[235]

119 كِتَابُ الْمُحْتَضَرِ، لِلْحَسَنِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مِنَ الْأَرْبَعِينَ رِوَايَةُ سَعْدٍ الْإِرْبِلِيِّ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذْ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌ‏ مِنْ بَنِي عَامِرٍ فَوَقَفَ وَ سَلَّمَ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ جَاءَ مِنْكَ رَسُولٌ يَدْعُونَّا إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَسْلَمْنَا ثُمَّ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ الْجِهَادِ فَرَأَيْنَاهُ حَسَناً ثُمَّ نَهَيْتَنَا عَنِ الزِّنَا وَ السَّرِقَةِ وَ الْغَيْبَةِ وَ الْمُنْكَرِ فَانْتَهَيْنَا فَقَالَ لَنَا رَسُولُكَ عَلَيْنَا أَنْ نُحِبَّ صِهْرَكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَمَا السِّرُّ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ مَا نَرَاهُ عِبَادَةً

The book ‘Al Mojizaat’ of Al Hassan Bin Suleyman, from what is reported from (the book) ‘Al Arbaeen’, reported by Sa’ad Al Arbily, raising it to,

‘Salman Al-Farsi^ra having said: ‘We were in the presence of Rasool-Allah^saww when a Bedouin from the clan of Aamir came and stood and greeted. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! A messenger came from you^saww calling us to Al-Islam, so we became Muslims. Then (called) to the Salat, and the Fasts, and the Jihad. We viewed it as good. Then you^saww Prohibited us from the adultery, and the theft, and the backbiting, and the evil, so we refrained. Your^saww messenger said to us that we should love your^saww son-in-law Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws. What is the secret regarding that, and we do not view it as (an act of) worship?’

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِخَمْسِ خِصَالٍ أَوَّلُهَا أَنِّي كُنْتُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ جَالِساً بَعْدَ أَنْ غَزَوْنَا إِذْ هَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ بَاهَيْتُ الْيَوْمَ بِعَلِيٍّ مَلَائِكَتِي وَ هُوَ يَجُولُ بَيْنَ الصُّفُوفِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُكَبِّرُ مَعَهُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي لَا أُلْهِمُ حُبَّهُ إِلَّا مَنْ أُحِبُّهُ وَ لَا أُلْهِمُ بُغْضَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ أُبْغِضُهُ

Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘For five characteristics. The first of it is that I^saww was seated on the day of Badr after we had battled, when Jibraeel^as descended and said: ‘Allah^azwj Coveys the greetings to you^saww and Says: “Today I^azwj Boasted to My^azwj Angles with Ali^asws and he^asws was roaming between the rows and saying: ‘Allah^azwj is the Greatest!’, and the Angels were exclaiming Takbeer along with him^asws. By Allah^azwj! I^azwj will not Inspire his^asws love except to the one I^azwj Love, nor will I^azwj Inspire his^asws hatred except to the one I^azwj Hate!”

وَ الثَّانِيَةُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ جَالِساً وَ قَدْ فَرَغْنَا مِنْ جِهَازِ عَمِّي حَمْزَةَ إِذْ أَتَانِي‏ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ فَرَضْتُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ وَضَعْتُهَا عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ وَ فَرَضْتُ‏ الصَّوْمَ وَ وَضَعْتُهُ عَنِ الْمَرِيضِ وَ الْمُسَافِرِ وَ فَرَضْتُ الْحَجَّ وَ وَضَعْتُهُ عَن الْمُقِلِّ الْمُدْقِعِ‏ وَ فَرَضْتُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ وَضَعْتُهَا عَمَّنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ النِّصَابَ وَ جَعَلْتُ حُبَّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُخْصَةٌ

And the second, I^saww was seated on the day of Ohad and we^saww had battled and we^saww were free from preparing my^saww (martyred) uncle Hamza^asws, when Jibraeel^as came to me^saww and said: ‘O Muhammad! Allah^azwj Says: “I^azwj Obligated the Salat and Placed and Dropped in from the sick one, and Obligated the Fasts and Dropped if from the sick one and the traveller, and Obligated the Hajj, and Dropped it from the poor and the destitute, and Obligated the Zakat and Dropped it from the one who does not own the (adequate) share, and Made the love of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws (an Obligation) not having any allowance in it.

الثَّالِثَةُ أَنَّهُ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كِتَاباً وَ لَا خَلَقَ خَلْقاً إِلَّا جَعَلَ لَهُ سَيِّداً فَالْقُرْآنُ سَيِّدُ الْكُتُبِ الْمُنْزَلَةِ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ سَيِّدُ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَوْ قَالَ إِسْرَافِيلُ وَ أَنَا سَيِّدُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ عَلِيٌّ سَيِّدُ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ لِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَيِّدٌ وَ حُبِّي وَ حُبُّ عَلِيٍّ سَيِّدُ مَا تَقَرَّبَ بِهِ الْمُتَقَرِّبُونَ مِنْ طَاعَةِ رَبِّهِمْ

(And) the third, Allah^azwj did not Send down a Book nor Created a creature except He^azwj Made a chief to be for him. The Quran is the chief of the Revealed Books, and Jibraeel^as is chief of the Angels’ – or said: ‘Israfeel^as, and I^saww am chief of the Prophets^as, and Ali^asws is chief of the succesors^asws, and for every matter there is a chief, and my^saww love and love of Ali^asws is chief of what the ones of proximity can draw near to their Lord^azwj.

الرَّابِعَةُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَلْقَى فِي رُوعِي أَنَّ حُبَّهُ‏ شَجَرَةُ طُوبَى الَّتِي غَرَسَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِيَدِهِ

The fourth is that Allah^azwj Cast in my^saww soul that his^asws love is the tree of Tooba which Allah^azwj the Exalted Planted it with His^azwj Hands.

الْخَامِسَةُ أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ نُصِبَ لَكَ‏ مِنْبَرٌ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْعَرْشِ وَ النَّبِيُّونَ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْعَرْشِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ‏ وَ نُصِبَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع كُرْسِيٌّ إِلَى جَانِبِكَ‏ إِكْرَاماً لَهُ

The fifth is that Jibraeel^as said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a pulpit would be set up for you^saww on the right of the Throne, and the Prophets^as, all of them^as would be on the left of the Throne, and in front of it, and a chair would be set up to your^saww side in honour for him^asws’.

فَمَنْ هَذِهِ خَصَائِصُهُ يَجِبُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تُحِبُّوهُ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ سَمْعاً وَ طَاعَةً.

So, from these specialities of his^asws, it Obligates upon you all that you love him^asws’. The Bedouin said, ‘I hear and obey’’.[236]

120 وَ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ‏ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ‏ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: اكْتَنَفْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَوْماً فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ‏ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ سَمِعْتُكَ‏ تَقُولُ- الْجَنَّةُ مُحَرَّمَةٌ عَلَى النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ حَتَّى تَدْخُلَهَا

And from what is reported from the Tafseer of Muhammad Bin Al Abbas Bin Marwan, from Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Abu Shayba, from Zakariya Bin Yahya, from Umar Bin Sabit, from his father, from Aasim Bin Zamrah, from Jabir Bin Abdullah who said,

‘We had surrounded Rasool-Allah^saww one day in Masjid of Al-Medina, and one of our companions mentioned the Paradise. Abu Dajjana said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘I heard you^saww saying the Paradise is Prohibited unto the Prophets^as and the rest of the communities until you^saww enter it (first)’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا أَبَا دُجَانَةَ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِوَاءً مِنْ نُورٍ وَ عَمُوداً مِنْ نُورٍ خَلَقَهُمَا قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ‏ بِأَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ مَكْتُوبٌ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اللِّوَاءِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ خَيْرُ الْبَرِّيَّةِ صَاحِبُ اللِّوَاءِ عَلِيٌّ إِمَامُ الْقَوْمِ

He^saww said to him: ‘O Abu Dajjana! Don’t you know that for Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic there is a flag of light, and a pillar of light. He^azwj Created these two before He^azwj Created the skies by two thousand years. It is written upon that flag: ‘There is no god except Allah^azwj, Muhammad^saww is best of the created beings’. The owner (bearer) of the flag is Ali^asws, Imam^asws of the people’.

فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانَا بِكَ وَ شَرَّفَنَا فَقَالَ‏ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ‏ أَنَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا وَ انْتَحَلَ مَحَبَّتَنَا أَسْكَنَهُ اللَّهُ مَعَنَا وَ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي مَقْعَدِ صِدْقٍ عِنْدَ مَلِيكٍ مُقْتَدِرٍ.

He said, ‘The Praise is for Allah^azwj Who Guided us through you^saww, and ennobled us’. The Prophet^saww said to him: ‘Don’t you know that the one who loves us^asws and embraces our^asws love, Allah^azwj would Settle him with us^asws’, and he^saww recited this Verse: In a truthful seat, in the Presence of a Powerful King [54:55]’’.[237]

121 وَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي مِخْنَفٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ مِيثَمٍ أَنَّهُ وَجَدَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ أُولئِكَ هُمْ خَيْرُ الْبَرِيَّةِ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ نَعَمْ‏ أَنْتَ يَا عَلِيُّ وَ شِيعَتُكَ وَ مِيعَادُكَ وَ مِيعَادُهُمُ الْحَوْضُ غُرّاً مُحَجَّلِينَ مُكَحَّلِينَ مُتَوَّجِينَ

And from Muhammad Bin Al Abbas, from Ahmad Bin Howza, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Abu Mikhnaf, from Yaqoub Bin Maysam,

‘He found in the book of his father that Ali^asws said: ‘I^asws heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying: ‘Surely those who believe and are doing righteous deeds, those, they are the best of the Created beings [98:7]. Then he^saww turned towards Ali^asws and said: ‘Yes, you^asws, O Ali^asws and your^asws Shias, and your^asws appointment and their appointment is at the Fountain, resplendent (of faces), kohl-applied (in their eyes), crowned’.

قَالَ يَعْقُوبُ فَحَدَّثْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع بِهَذَا فَقَالَ هَكَذَا هُوَ عِنْدَنَا فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ع‏

Yaqoub (the narrator) said, ‘I narrated to Abu Ja’far^asws with this, and he^asws said: ‘That is how it is with us^asws in the Book of Ali^asws!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَبَّاسِ فِي كِتَابِهِ نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ حَدِيثاً فِي تَفْسِيرِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ مِثْلُ مَا ذَكَرَهُ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ خَيْرَ الْبَرِيَّةِ هُوَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ شِيعَتُهُ وَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتابِ‏ هُمْ عَدُوُّهُ وَ شِيعَتُهُمْ‏.

Then he (the narrator) said, ‘And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Al-Abbas in his book, approximately twenty five Ahadeeth in Tafseer of this Verse, similar to what is mentioned in this Hadeeth, that the best of the created beings, he^asws is Amir Al-Momineen^asws and his^asws Shias, and those who committed Kufr, from the People of the Book and the Polytheists, [98:1], they are his^asws enemies and their adherents’’.[238]

122 وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ مَنْهَجِ التَّحْقِيقِ إِلَى سَوَاءِ الطَّرِيقِ، رَوَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْآلِ لِابْنِ خَالَوَيْهِ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى جَابِرٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَنِي وَ خَلَقَ عَلِيّاً وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ مِنْ نُورٍ وَاحِدٍ

And from the book ‘Manhaj Al Tahqeeq Ila Sawa’a Al Tareeq’ – It is reported from the book ‘Al Aal’ of Ibn Khalawiya, raising it to Jabir Al Ansary who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying: ‘Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created me^saww and Created Ali^asws, and (Syeda) Fatima^asws, and Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws from one Noor (light).

فَعَصَرَ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ عَصْرَةً فَخَرَجَ مِنْهُ شِيعَتُنَا فَسَبَّحْنَا فَسَبَّحُوا وَ قَدَّسْنَا فَقَدَّسُوا وَ هَلَّلْنَا فَهَلَّلُوا وَ مَجَّدْنَا فَمَجَّدُوا وَ وَحَّدْنَا فَوَحَّدُوا

That Noor was compressed with a compression and our^asws Shias came out from it. We^asws glorified (Allah^azwj) so they glorified, and we^asws extolled the Holiness (of Allah^azwj) so they extolled the Holiness, and we^asws exclaimed the glory (of Allah^azwj so they exclaimed, and we^asws praised (Allah^azwj) so they praised, and we^asws professed Tawheed, so they professed. 

ثُمَّ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ خَلَقَ الْمَلَائِكَةَ فَمَكَثَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِائَةَ عَامٍ لَا تَعْرِفُ تَسْبِيحاً وَ لَا تَقْدِيساً فَسَبَّحْنَا فَسَبَّحَتْ شِيعَتُنَا فَسَبَّحَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ كَذَا فِي الْبَوَاقِي

The Allah^azwj Created the skies and the earth, and Created the Angels. The Angels remained for a hundred years neither knowing any glorification, nor extollation of Holiness. We^asws glorified, so our^asws Shias glorified, so the Angels glorified, and like that regarding the remainder. 

فَنَحْنُ الْمُوَحِّدُونَ حَيْثُ لَا مُوَحِّدَ غَيْرُنَا وَ حَقِيقٌ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَمَا اخْتَصَّنَا وَ اخْتَصَّ شِيعَتَنَا أَنْ يُزْلِفَنَا وَ شِيعَتَنَا فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفَانَا وَ اصْطَفَى شِيعَتَنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَكُونَ أَجْسَاماً فَدَعَانَا فَأَجَبْنَاهُ فَغَفَرَ لَنَا وَ لِشِيعَتِنَا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَسْتَغْفِرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏.

Thus we^asws are the (first) Unitarians when there was no Unitarian apart from us^asws, and there is a right upon Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic just as He^azwj has Specialised us^asws and Specialised our^asws Shias that He^azwj Brings us^asws and our^asws Shias closer in the high Illiyeen. Allah^azwj Chose us^asws and Chose our^asws Shias from before we^asws happened to be bodies. He^azwj Called us^asws, so we^asws answered Him^azwj, and He^azwj Forgave for us^asws and for our^asws Shias from before we^asws sought Forgiveness (for them) of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[239]

123 وَ مِمَّا رَوَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ السَّيِّدِ حَسَنِ بْنِ كَبْشٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ‏ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ أَنْتُمُ الطَّيِّبُونَ وَ نِسَاؤُكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ صِدِّيقٌ

And from what is reported from the book of the Sayyad Hassan Bin Kabash, by his chain to Abu Hamza,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him^asws saying to a man from the Shias: ‘You (Shias) are the good ones, and your womenfolk are good, and every Momin is a truthful’.

وَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ شِيعَتُنَا أَقْرَبُ الْخَلْقِ مِنْ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَعْدَنَا وَ مَا مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا أَحَدٌ يَقُومُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا اكْتَنَفَتْهُ فِيهَا عَدَدَ مَنْ خَالَفَهُ‏ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةً حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَ إِنَّ الصَّائِمَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَرْتَعُ فِي رِيَاضِ الْجَنَّةِ تَدْعُو لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ حَتَّى يُفْطِرَ.

And he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him^asws saying: ‘Our^asws Shias would be the nearest of the creatures from the Throne of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Qiyamah after us^asws, and there is no one from our^asws Shias standing to the Salat except and he gets surrounded by Angels of the number of his adversaries, sending Salawat upon him as a congregation until he is free from his Salat, and that the Fasting one from you would be raised in the Garden of the Paradise, the Angels supplicate for him until he breaks (the Fast)’’.[240]

124 وَ مِنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَنْكَ بِأَمْرٍ قَرَّتْ بِهِ عَيْنِي وَ فَرِحَ بِهِ قَلْبِي قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَقْرِئْ مُحَمَّداً مِنِّي السَّلَامَ وَ أَعْلِمْهُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً إِمَامُ الْهُدَى وَ مِصْبَاحُ الدُّجَى وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَنَّهُ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ الْفَارُوقُ الْأَعْظَمُ

And from him, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘O Ali^asws! Jibraeel^as informed me^saww with a matter about you^asws, my^saww eyes were delighted with it and my^saww heart was happy with it. He^as said: ‘O Muhammad^saww! Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “Convey the greetings to Muhammad^saww from Me^azwj and let him^saww know that Ali^asws is the Imam^asws of guidance, and lamp for the darkness, and the Divine Authority upon the inhabitants of the world, and he^asws is the greatest truthful, and the magnificent distributor.

وَ أَنِّي آلَيْتُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي أَنْ لَا أُدْخِلَ النَّارَ أَحَداً تَوَالاهُ‏ وَ سَلَّمَ لَهُ وَ لِلْأَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ‏ حَقَّ الْقَوْلُ مِنِّي لَأَمْلَأَنَّ جَهَنَّمَ‏ وَ أَطْبَاقَهَا مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِ وَ لَأَمْلَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ‏.

And I^azwj have Sword by My^azwj Mighty and My^azwj Majesty that I^azwj will not Enter the Fire anyone who is in his^asws Wilayah and submits to him^asws and to the successors^asws from after him^asws. but the reality of the Word from Me is: “I will Fill Hell [32:13], and its layers, from his^asws enemies and will Fill the Paradise from his^asws friends and his^asws Shias”’[241]

125 وَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الشِّفَاءِ وَ الْجِلَاءِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ طِينَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَلَا يَنْجَسُ أَبَداً

And from the book ‘Al-Shifa’a Wa Al-Jila’a’ – From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Created clay of the Momin from clay of the Prophets^as, so he will not be unclean, ever!’

وَ قَالَ إِنَّ عَمَلَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَذْهَبُ فَيَمْهَدُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ كَمَا يُرْسِلُ الرَّجُلُ غُلَامَهُ فَيَفْرُشُ لَهُ ثُمَّ تَلَا وَ مَنْ‏ عَمِلَ صالِحاً فَلِأَنْفُسِهِمْ يَمْهَدُونَ‏.

And he^asws said: ‘The deed of the Momin goes and makes arrangements for him in the Paradise just as the man sends his slave to prepare his furnishing for him’. Then he^asws recited: and ones who do righteous deeds, so they are preparing for their own selves, [30:44]’’.[242]

126 وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَمَا لَا يَنْفَعُ مَعَ الشِّرْكِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَلَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ الْإِيمَانِ شَيْ‏ءٌ.

And from him^asws having said: ‘Just as nothing would benefit with Shirk (association with Allah^azwj), so nothing would harm with Eman’’.[243]

127 وَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ أَبِي مَنْصُورٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَا وَ ابْنُ‏ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ طَلْحَةَ فَقَالَ ع ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ سِتُّ خِصَالٍ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ

And from Isa Bin Abu Mansour who said,

‘We were in the presence of Abu Abdullah^asws, I and Ibn Abu Yafour and Abdullah in Talha. He^asws said initiating from him^asws: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! Seven characteristics, one who has these in him would be in front of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic and on the right of Allah^azwj’.

قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَ مَا هِيَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ يُحِبُّ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِأَعَزِّ أَهْلِهِ وَ يَكْرَهُ الْمَرْءُ الْمُسْلِمُ لِأَخِيهِ مَا يَكْرَهُ لِأَعَزِّ أَهْلِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُنَاصِحُهُ الْوَلَايَةَ

Ibn Abu Yafour said, ‘And what are these? May I be sacrificed for you^asws!’ He^asws said: ‘The Muslims person would love for his brother what he loves for the dearest one of his family, and the Muslim person would love for his brother what he dislikes for the dearest of his family to him, and he would advise him of the Wilayah’.

فَبَكَى ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ وَ قَالَ كَيْفَ يُنَاصِحُهُ الْوَلَايَةَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِذَا كَانَ مِنْهُ بِتِلْكَ الْمَنْزِلَةِ فَهَمُّهُ هَمُّهُ وَ فَرَّحَهُ فَرَحُهُ‏ إِنْ هُوَ فَرِحَ حَزَنَهُ لِحُزْنِهِ إِنْ هُوَ حَزَنَ فَإِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مَا يُفَرِّجُ عَنْهُ فَرَّجَ عَنْهُ وَ إِلَّا دَعَا لَهُ

Ibn Abu Yafour wept and said, ‘How can he advise him of the Wilayah?’ He^asws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! When he was from him with that status, his sadness would sadden him, and his happiness would make him happy. If he is happy to his happiness and grieves if he is in grief, and there was with him what would make him happy, he should relieve him from it to make him happy from it, or else he should supplicate for him’.

قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع ثَلَاثٌ لَكُمْ وَ ثَلَاثٌ لَنَا أَنْ تَعْرِفُوا فَضْلَنَا وَ أَنْ تَطَئُوا أَعْقَابَنَا وَ تَنْتَظِرُوا عَاقِبَتَنَا فَمَنْ كَانَ هَكَذَا كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Three are for you and three are for us, that you will recognise our^asws merits, and you will obey our^asws posterity, and you will await our^asws end-result. So, the one who was like that, would be in front of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic and on the right of Allah^azwj.

فَأَمَّا الَّذِي بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيَسْتَضِي‏ءُ بِنُورِهِمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنْهُمْ وَ أَمَّا الَّذِي عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ فَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ يَرَاهُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ لَمْ يَهْنَئْهُ الْعَيْشُ مِمَّا يَرَى مِنْ فَضْلِهِمْ

As for the one who is in front of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, they would illuminate with their radiance one who is lower than them; and as for the one on the right of Allah^azwj, if they were to show themselves to the ones below them, their lives would not be welcoming for them from what they would see of their merits’.

فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ مَا لَهُمْ لَا يَرَوْنَهُمْ وَ هُمْ عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ

Ibn Abu Yafour said, ‘What is the matter they are not appearing to them, and they are on the right of the Throne?’

قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ إِنَّهُمْ مَحْجُوبُونَ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ أَ مَا بَلَغَكَ حَدِيثُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ خَلْقاً عَنْ يَمِينِ اللَّهِ وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَبْيَضُ مِنَ الثَّلْجِ وَ أَضْوَأُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ الضَّاحِيَةِ فَيَسْأَلُ السَّائِلُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ فَيُقَالُ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ تَحَابُّوا فِي اللَّهِ‏.

He^asws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! They are veiled by the Noor of Allah^azwj. Has the Hadeeth of Rasool-Allah^saww not reached you? He^saww was saying: ‘For Allah^azwj there are creatures on the right of Allah^azwj, and in front of Allah^azwj. Their faces whiter than the snow, and more illuminating than the sun of the brightness’. So, the questioner asked, ‘Who are they?’ He^saww said: ‘They are those who loved each other for the sake of Allah^azwj’’.[244]

‘From Muattab a slave of Abu Abdullah^asws, from his^asws father^asws having said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet^saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! Is there a price (to pay) for the Paradise?’ He^saww said: ‘Yes’.

قَالَ مَا ثَمَنُهَا قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَقُولُهَا الْعَبْدُ مُخْلِصاً بِهَا

He said, ‘What is its price?’ He^saww said: ‘(Professing), there is no god except Allah^azwj. The servant would say it being sincere with it’.

قَالَ وَ مَا إِخْلَاصُهَا قَالَ الْعَمَلُ بِمَا بُعِثْتُ بِهِ فِي حَقِّهِ وَ حُبُّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي قَالَ فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ إِنَّ حُبَّ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ لَمِنْ حَقِّهَا قَالَ إِنَّ حُبَّهُمْ لَأَعْظَمُ حَقِّهَا.

He said, ‘And what is its sincerity?’ He^saww said: ‘The acting with what I^saww have been Sent with in its right, and loving People^asws of my^saww Household’. He said, ‘By my father and my mother! And love of People^asws of the Household is from its right?’ He^saww said: ‘Their^asws love is the greatest of its rights’’.[246]

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of the sheykh Al Tusi – A group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Al Lays Muhammad Al Anbari, from Ahmad bin Abdul Samad, from his maternal uncle Abu Al Salt Al Harwy who said,

‘I was with Al-Reza^asws when he^asws entered Neshapour and he^asws was riding a mules (called) ‘Al-Shahba’ and the scholars of Neshapour had come out for welcoming him^asws.

فَلَمَّا سَارَ إِلَى الْمُرَبَّعَةِ تَعَلَّقُوا بِلِجَامِ بَغْلَتِهِ وَ قَالُوا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَدِّثْنَا بِحَقِّ آبَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ حَدِيثاً عَنْ آبَائِكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

When he^asws came to the square, they grabbed hold of the rein of his^asws mule and said, ‘O son^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww! Narrate to us by the right of your^asws clean forefathers^asws, a Hadeeth from your^asws forefathers^asws in their^asws entirety’.

فَأَخْرَجَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الْهَوْدَجِ وَ عَلَيْهِ مِطْرَفُ خَزٍّ فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدِ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ

He^asws, upon him^asws be the Salawat and the greetings, brought out his^asws head from the carriage, and upon him^asws was a fur shawl, and he^asws said: ‘It is narrated to me^asws by my^asws father Musa^asws Bin Ja’far^asws, from his^asws father^asws Bin Muhammad^asws, from his^asws father Muhammad^asws Bin Ali^asws, from his^asws father Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws, from his^asws father^asws Al-Husayn^asws, chief of the youths of the people of Paradise, from Amir Al-Momineen^asws, from Rasool-Allah^saww having said:

‘I and my father passed by a man from the sons of Abu Lahab^la called Ubeydullah Bin Ibrahim. He called out to me, ‘O Abu Al-Fazl! This man will narrate to you’, and he mentioned the name of the narrator, and he is Sudeyf at the end of the Hadeeth, and he did not mention it over here, from Abu Ja’far^asws.

We went near them and greeted unto them. He said to him, ‘Narrate to him’. He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad^asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir^asws, and I have not seen any Muhammadan at all equating with him^asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari having said, ‘Rasool-Allah^saww came until he^saww ascended the pulpit, and gathered the Emigrant and the Helpers with weapons. He^saww said: ‘O you people! One who hates us^asws People^asws of the Household, Allah^azwj would Resurrect him as a Jew’.

And even if he had testified that there is no god except Allah^azwj and you^saww are Rasool-Allah^saww?’ He^saww said: ‘Yes, and even if he had testified so. But rather, he has withheld with that (testimony) his blood from being spilt or payment of the tax from a hand while being belittled’.

Hanan (the narrator) said, ‘And my father said to me, ‘Write down this Hadeeth’. So, I wrote it, and we went in the morning to Al-Medina. We arrived and entered to see Abu Abdullah^asws. I said to him^asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! A man from the Makkans called Sudeyf narrated a Hadeeth to me from your^asws father^asws’, He^asws said: ‘And you preserved it?’ I said, ‘I have written it’. He^asws said: ‘Give it’.

I presented it to him^asws. When I ended up to (the words): ‘My^saww community was resembled for me^saww in the clay, and He^azwj Taught me^saww the names of my^saww community just as He^azwj had Taught Adam^as the names, all of them, Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘O Sadeyr!

He^asws said: ‘I used to view that this Hadeeth did not come out from my^asws father^asws to anyone’’.[249]

134 وَ رَوَى الْبُرْسِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ مَشَارِقِ الْأَنْوَارِ عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص آخِذاً بِيَدِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَذَا ابْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَاعْرِفُوهُ فَوَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهُ لَفِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ مُحِبُّوهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَ مُحِبُّو مُحِبِّهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ.

And it is reported by Al Bursy in the book ‘Mashariq Al Anwaar’, from Huzeyfa Al Yaman who said,

‘I saw Rasool-Allah^saww grab a hand of Al-Hassan^asws Bin Ali^asws, and he^saww was saying: ‘O you people! This is a son^asws of Ali^asws! Recognise him^asws, for by the One^azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad^saww! He^asws will be in the Paradise, and ones who love him^asws would be in the Paradise, and the one who loves the one who loves him^asws would be in the Paradise!’’[251]

135 كِتَابُ فَضَائِلِ الشِّيعَةِ، لِلصَّدُوقِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ حُبُّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ تَأْكُلُ السَّيِّئَاتِ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ‏.

The book ‘Fazail Al Shia’, of Al Sadouq, by his chain from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Love of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws consumes the evil deeds just as the fire consumes the firewood’’.[252]

And by his chain form Al Sabbah Bin Sayaba,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘The man who loves you (Shias) and does not know what you are saying, Allah^azwj would Enter him into the Paradise, and the man who hates you and does not know what you are saying, Allah^azwj would Enter him into the Fire, and the man’s book would be filled upon from without him having done any deed’.

قُلْتُ فَكَيْفَ قَالَ يَمُرُّ بِالْقَوْمِ يَنَالُونَ مِنَّا وَ إِذَا رَأَوْهُ قَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ إِنَّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ مِنْ شِيعَتِهِمْ وَ يَمُرُّ بِهِمُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَيَرْمُونَهُ وَ يَقُولُونَ فِيهِ فَيَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ حَسَنَاتٍ حَتَّى يَمْلَأَ صَحِيفَتَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمَلٍ‏.

I said, ‘How can it be so?’ He^asws said: ‘He passed by the group attaining from us^asws, and when they saw him, they said to each other, ‘This man is from their Shias’. And the man from our^asws Shias passed by them, so they accuse him and speak regarding him, so Allah^azwj Writes good deeds for him due to that until it fills up his book, from without him having done any deed’’.[253]

137 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى النُّمَيْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَتُحِبُّنِي فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ‏.

And by his chain from Musa al Numeyri,

‘From Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘A man came to Rasool-Allah^saww and he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! I love you^saww’. He^saww said: ‘You love me^saww?’ He said, ‘By Allah^azwj! I do love you^saww’. Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘You will be with the one you love’’.[254]

(The books) ‘Kunz Jamie Al Fawaid’ and ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Zaahira’ – It is reported by Sheykh al Taifa, by his chain, from Zayd bin Yunus Al Shaham who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan Musa^asws, ‘The man from your^asws friends disobeys, he drinks the wine and indulges in the destructive sins, should we disavow from him?’ He^asws said: ‘Disavow from his deeds and do not disavow from his goodness, and hate his deeds’.

فَقُلْتُ يَسَعُ لَنَا أَنْ نَقُولَ فَاسِقٌ فَاجِرٌ فَقَالَ لَا الْفَاسِقُ الْفَاجِرُ الْكَافِرُ الْجَاحِدُ لَنَا وَ لِأَوْلِيَائِنَا أَبَى اللَّهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ وَلِيُّنَا فَاسِقاً فَاجِراً وَ إِنْ عَمِلَ مَا عَمِلَ وَ لَكِنَّكُمْ قُولُوا فَاسِقُ الْعَمَلِ فَاجِرُ الْعَمَلِ مُؤْمِنُ النَّفْسِ خَبِيثُ الْفِعْلِ طَيِّبُ الرُّوحِ وَ الْبَدَنِ

I said, ‘Is there leeway for us that we should be saying, ‘Mischief-maker, immoral’?’ He^asws said: ‘No. The mischief-maker, the immoral, is the Kafir, the rejecter of us^asws and our^asws friends. Allah^azwj has Refused the our^asws friends be a mischief-maker, an immoral, and even if he does what he does, but you should be saying, ‘Mischievous of the deeds, immoral of the deeds, a Momin self wicked of the deeds, good of the soul and the body.

لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا يَخْرُجُ وَلِيُّنَا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا وَ اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ نَحْنُ عَنْهُ رَاضُونَ يَحْشُرُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبَ مُبْيَضّاً وَجْهُهُ مَسْتُورَةً عَوْرَتُهُ آمِنَةً رَوْعَتُهُ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا حُزْنٌ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يُصَفَّى مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ إِمَّا بِمُصِيبَةٍ فِي مَالٍ أَوْ نَفْسٍ أَوْ وَلَدٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ

No, by Allah^azwj! Our^asws friend does not exit from the world except and Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasool^saww and we^asws are pleased from him. Allah^azwj would Resurrect him despite what he is in from the sins, whitened of face, veiled of his nakedness, and safe of his fear, neither would there be fear upon him nor grief, and that is because he will not exit from the world until he is cleaned from the sins. Either by difficulties regarding wealth, or self, or children, or illness.

وَ أَدْنَى مَا يُصْنَعُ بِوَلِيِّنَا أَنْ يُرِيَهُ اللَّهُ رُؤْيَا مَهُولَةً فَيُصْبِحَ حَزِيناً لِمَا رَآهُ فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ كَفَّارَةً لَهُ أَوْ خَوْفاً يَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ دَوْلَةِ الْبَاطِلِ‏ أَوْ يُشَدَّدَ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ فَيَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ طَاهِراً مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ آمِنَةً رَوْعَتُهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا

And the least of what is done with our^asws friend is the Allah^azwj Shows him a horrific dream and he wakes up in the morning gloomy for what he had seen, and that would become an expiation for him, or some fear would be passing upon him from the people of the government of the falsehood, or there would be difficulty upon him at death, so he would meet Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic, clean from the sins, secure from his fear due to Muhammad^saww and Amir Al-Momineen^asws.

ثُمَّ يَكُونُ أَمَامَهُ أَحَدُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِعَةُ الَّتِي هِيَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً أَوْ شَفَاعَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فَعِنْدَهَا تُصِيبُهُ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ الْوَاسِعَةُ الَّتِي كَانَ أَحَقَّ بِهَا وَ أَهْلَهَا وَ لَهُ إِحْسَانُهَا وَ فَضْلُهَا.

Then there would happen to be in front of him, one of the two matters – The extensive Mercy of Allah^azwj which is more extensive than the people of the earth in their entirety, or intercession of Muhammad^saww and Amir Al-Momineen^asws. At that, he would achieve the extensive Mercy of Allah^azwj which he would be deserving with it, and its rightful one, and for him would be its Favour and its Grace’’.[256]

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^asws said to me: ‘O Abu Hamza! Do you see the martyr as only the one who is killed?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you^asws!’ He^asws said to me: ‘O Abu Hamza! One who believe in us^asws and ratifies our^asws Hadeeth, and awaits us^asws (Al-Qaim^asws), would be like the one who is killed beneath the flag of Al-Qaim^asws. But, by Allah^azwj, beneath the flag of Rasool-Allah^saww!’’[258]

‘Al-Sadiq^asws said to me: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The one dying upon this matter (Wilayah) is a martyr’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! And even if he dies upon his bed?’ He^asws said: ‘And even if dies upon his bed, for he would be alive, being sustained’’.[259]

From Abu Zarr^ra having said: ‘I^ra saw Salman^ra and Bilal^ra coming towards the Prophet^saww, when Salman^ra dedicated to the feet of Rasool-Allah^saww, kissing them.

فَزَجَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص عَنْ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ يَا سَلْمَانُ لَا تَصْنَعْ بِي مَا تَصْنَعُ الْأَعَاجِمُ بِمُلُوكِهَا أَنَا عَبْدٌ مِنْ عَبِيدِ اللَّهِ آكُلُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ الْعَبْدُ وَ أَقْعُدُ كَمَا يَقْعُدُ الْعَبْدُ

The Prophet^saww rebuked him^ra from that, then said to him^ra: ‘O Salman^ra! Do not do with me^saww what the Persians are doing with their kings. I^saww am a slave from the slaves of Allah^azwj. I^saww eat from what the slaves eat, and sit just as the slaves tend to sit’.

فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ يَا مَوْلَايَ سَأَلْتُكَ بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا أَخْبَرْتَنِي بِفَضْلِ‏ فَاطِمَةَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Salman^ra said, ‘O my^ra Master^saww! I^ra ask you^saww by Allah^azwj, only inform me^ra with the merit of (Syeda) Fatima^asws on the Day of Qiyamah’.

قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص ضَاحِكاً مُسْتَبْشِراً ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ إِنَّهَا الْجَارِيَةُ الَّتِي تَجُوزُ فِي عَرْصَةِ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ رَأْسُهَا مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ عَيْنَاهَا مِنْ نُورِ اللَّهِ وَ حُطَامُهَا مِنْ جَلَالِ اللَّهِ وَ عُنُقُهَا مِنْ بَهَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ سَنَامُهَا مِنْ رِضْوَانِ اللَّهِ وَ ذَنَبُهَا مِنْ قُدْسِ اللَّهِ وَ قَوَائِمُهَا مِنْ مَجْدِ اللَّهِ

When it neighs is glorifies (Allah^azwj), and if it rumbles it extols the Holiness (of Allah^azwj). Upon it is a carriage of Noor wherein is a human Hourie maid, dear. She has been Gathered, and Created, and Made, and Resembled from three types. Her top part is from yellow musk, and her middle part is from Al-Ah’hab amber, and her lower part is from red saffron. She was kneaded with water from the (river) Al-Haywaan.

If she were to spit with a spittle into the seven salty oceans, these would freshen, and if a nail of her little finger were to emerge to the house of the world, it would overwhelm the sun and the moon.

Jibraeel^as would be on her^asws right and Mikaeel^as on her^asws left, and Ali^asws in front of her^asws, and Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws behind her^asws, and Allah^azwj would be Looking after her^asws and Protecting her^asws. They would be crossing the plains of Qiyamah, and there a caller would call out from the direction of Allah^azwj, Majestic is His^azwj Majesty: “Community of creatures!

فَتَجُوزُ الصِّرَاطَ وَ عَلَيْهَا رَيْطَتَانِ بَيْضَاوَانِ‏ فَإِذَا دَخَلَتِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ نَظَرَتْ إِلَى مَا أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهَا مِنَ الْكَرَامَةِ قَرَأَتْ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ الَّذِي أَحَلَّنا دارَ الْمُقامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ لا يَمَسُّنا فِيها نَصَبٌ وَ لا يَمَسُّنا فِيها لُغُوبٌ‏

She^asws would cross the bridge, and upon her^asws would be two fabrics. When she^asws enters the Paradise and looks at what Allah^azwj has Prepared for her^asws, from the honours, she^asws would recite: In the Name of Allah^azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Removed the grief from us. Surely our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative [35:34] Who Transferred us to the house of eternal settlement, from His Grace. Neither shall toil touch us therein nor shall fatigue touch us therein [35:35].

قَالَ فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ سَلِينِي أُعْطِكِ وَ تَمَنَّيْ عَلَيَّ أُرْضِكِ فَتَقُولُ إِلَهِي أَنْتَ الْمُنَى وَ فَوْقَ الْمُنَى أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ لَا تُعَذِّبَ مُحِبِّي وَ مُحِبِّي عِتْرَتِي‏ بِالنَّارِ

He^saww said: ‘Allah^azwj would Reveal unto her^asws: “O Fatima^asws! Ask Me^azwj, I^azwj shall Give it to you^asws and Fulfil your^asws wishes”. So she^asws would be saying: ‘My^azwj God! You^azwj are the Bestower, and Higher than that. I^asws ask You^azwj that You^azwj should not Punish those that love me^asws and my^asws Family^asws, with the Fire’.

فَيُوحِي اللَّهُ إِلَيْهَا يَا فَاطِمَةُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَكَانِي لَقَدْ آلَيْتُ عَلَى‏ نَفْسِي مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ أَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ بِأَلْفَيْ عَامٍ أَنْ لَا أُعَذِّبَ مُحِبِّيكِ وَ مُحِبِّي عِتْرَتِكِ بِالنَّارِ.

Then Allah^azwj the Exalted would Reveal unto her^asws: “O Fatima^asws! By My^azwj Honour, and My^azwj Majesty, and My^azwj Elevated Status! I^azwj Took it upon Myself^azwj, before I^azwj Created the skies and the earth, by two thousand years, that I^azwj will not Punish those who love you^asws, and your^asws Family^asws, with the Fire”.[261]

145 أَقُولُ رَوَى ابْنُ بِطْرِيقٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الْعُمْدَةِ مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ الثَّعْلَبِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَسَدَ النَّاسِ لِي فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ رَابِعَ أَرْبَعَةٍ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ أَزْوَاجُنَا عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا وَ شَمَائِلِنَا وَ ذُرِّيَّتُنَا خَلْفَ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَ شِيعَتُنَا خَلْفَ ذُرِّيَّتِنَا.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by Ibn Bitreeq in (the book) ‘Al Umdah’ (Hanbali source), from Tafseer Al Sa’alby, by his chain from Umar Bin Musa,

‘From Zayd son of Ali^asws Bin Al-Husayn^asws, from his father^asws, from his grandfather^asws, from Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws having said: ‘I^asws complained to Rasool-Allah^saww of the envy of the people. He^saww said: ‘Are you^asws not pleased that you^asws happen to be the fourth of the four? The first one to enter the Paradise would be me^saww, and you^asws, and Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws, and our^asws wives would be on our^asws right and on our^asws left, and our^asws offspring would be behind our^asws wives, and our^asws Shias would be behind our^asws offspring?’’[262]

146 وَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: نَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ أَنَا حَرْبٌ لِمَنْ حَارَبْتُمْ وَ سِلْمٌ لِمَنْ سَالَمْتُمْ‏.

And from Abu Hureyra (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww looked at Ali^asws, and Al-Hassan^asws and Al-Husayn^asws and said: ‘I^saww am at war with the one who is at war with them^asws, and at peace with the one who is at peace with them^asws’’.[263]

147 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ أَيْضاً عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا بَالُ قُرَيْشٍ يَلْقَى بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً بِوَجْهٍ يَكَادُ أَنْ يُسالَ‏ مِنَ الْوُدِّ وَ يَلْقَوْنَا بِوَجْهٍ‏ قَاطِبَةٍ

And by his (Abu Hureyra’s) chain as well,

‘From Al-Abbas son of Abdul Muttalib^asws having said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^saww! What is the matter with Quraysh meeting each other with faces almost begging for friendliness, and they are meeting us with frowning faces?’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ وَ يَفْعَلُونَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ لَا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحِبُّوهُمْ لِي‏.

Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘And they are doing that?’ He said, ‘Yes, by the One^azwj Who Sent you^saww with the truth’. He^saww said: ‘But, by the One^azwj Who Sent me^saww with the truth, they will not believe until they love them (People^asws of the Household) for me^saww’’.[264]

148 وَ مِنْ مَنَاقِبِ ابْنِ الْمَغَازِلِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ نُصِبَ الصِّرَاطُ عَلَى شَفِيرِ جَهَنَّمَ لَمْ يَجُزْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا مَنْ مَعَهُ كِتَابُ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏.

And from (the book) ‘Manaqib’ of Ibn Al Magazily – By his chain from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah and the bridge is set up upon the edge of Hell, none would (be able to) cross it except one who has the book of Wilayah of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws with him’’.[265]

149 وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ‏ عُنْوَانُ صَحِيفَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ حُبُّ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏.

And by another chain from Al Zuhry who said,

‘I heard Anas Bin Malik (well-known Ahadith fabricator) saying, ‘By Allah^azwj Who, there is no god except He^azwj! I heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying: ‘The heading of the book of the Momin would be ‘love of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws’’.[266]

150 وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفاً لَا حِسَابَ‏ عَلَيْهِمْ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ هُمْ مِنْ شِيعَتِكَ وَ أَنْتَ إِمَامُهُمْ‏.

And by another chain from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Seventy thousand from my^saww community would be entering the Paradise without any Reckoning (Taken) upon them’. Then he^saww turned towards Ali^asws and said: ‘They are from your^asws Shias, and you^asws are their Imam^asws’’.[267]

151 وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْمُظَفَّرِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يُونُسَ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: يَا عَلِيُّ إِنَّ شِيعَتَنَا يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ قُبُورِهِمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى مَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ وُجُوهُهُمْ كَالْقَمَرِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْبَدْرِ

And it is reported from Ahmad Bin Al Muzaffer Al Attar, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Al Muzny, from Abdullah Bin Zayd, from Ali Bin Yunus Al Attar, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Kindy, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws, from his^asws father^asws, from his^asws father^asws, from Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws, from Rasool-Allah^saww having said: ‘O Ali^asws! Our^asws Shias would be coming out from their graves on the Day of Qiyamah upon what would be with them from the faults, and the sins, and their faces would be (shining) like the moon during the night of the full moon.

وَ قَدْ فُرِضَتْ‏ عَنْهُمُ الشَّدَائِدُ وَ سَهُلَتْ لَهُمُ الْمَوَارِدُ وَ أُعْطُوا الْأَمْنَ وَ الْأَمَانَ وَ ارْتَفَعَتْ عَنْهُمُ الْأَحْزَانُ يَخَافُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَخَافُونَ وَ يَحْزَنُ النَّاسُ وَ لَا يَحْزَنُونَ

The difficulties would have been cut off from them, and the resources would be eased for them, and they would be given the safety and the security, and the grief would be raised from them. The people would fear but they will not be fearing and the people would grieve and they will not be grieving.

شِرَاكُ نِعَالِهِمْ تَتَلَأْلَأُ نُوراً عَلَى نُوقٍ بِيضٍ لَهَا أَجْنِحَةٌ قَدْ ذُلِّلَتْ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَهَانَةٍ وَ نَجَتْ مِنْ غَيْرِ رِيَاضَةٍ أَعْنَاقُهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَحْمَرَ أَلْيَنَ مِنَ الْحَرِيرِ لِكَرَامَتِهِمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏.

The straps of their slippers would be sparkling light upon white camels having wings for it, having been subdued without humiliation, and having attained salvation without effort. Their necks would be of red gold, softer than the silk, for their honour upon Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[268]

152 وَ بِسَنَدَيْنِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ عَلِيٌّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا مَنْ جَاءَ بِجَوَازٍ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏.

And by two chain from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘On the Day of Qiyamah, Ali^asws would be at the Fountain. None would (be able to) enter the Paradise except the one coming with a permit from Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws’’.[269]

153 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى سُنَنِ أَبِي دَاوُدَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ‏ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ: أَحِبُّوا اللَّهَ لِمَا يَغْذُوكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ نِعَمِهِ وَ لِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَ أَحِبُّونِي لِحُبِّ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ أَحِبُّوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِي لِحُبِّي‏.

And by his chain to Sunan of Abu Dawood, from Ibn Abbas,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘Love Allah^azwj for what He^azwj has Provided you all with, from His^azwj bounties, and for what He^azwj is rightful or, and love me^saww for the love of Allah^azwj the Exalted, and love People^asws of my^saww Household for my^saww love’’.[270]

154 أَقُولُ وَ رُوِيَ فِي الْمُسْتَدْرَكِ مِنْ كِتَابِ فَضَائِلِ الصَّحَابَةِ لِلسَّمْعَانِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏ يَا عَلِيُّ طُوبَى لِمَنْ أَحَبَّكَ وَ صَدَقَ فِيكَ وَ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ أَبْغَضَكَ وَ كَذَبَ فِيكَ‏.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is reported in (the book) ‘Al Mustadrak’, from the book ‘Fazail Al Sahaba’ of Al Sam’any, by his chain to Ammar Bin Yasser who said,

‘I heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying to Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws: ‘O Ali^asws! Beatitude is for one who loves you^asws, and ratifies your^asws mouth, and woe be to the one who hates you^asws and belies your^asws mouth’’.[271]

155 وَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ عَلِيّاً وَ شِيعَتَهُ هُمُ الْفَائِزُونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

And by his chain from Umm Salama^ra having said, ‘I^ra heard the Prophet^saww saying: ‘Ali^asws and his^asws Shias, they would be the successful ones on the Day of Qiyamah’’.[272]

Notes –

رَوَى أَبُو عُبَيْدٍ الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ سَلَّامٍ فِي كِتَابِهِ غَرِيبِ الْحَدِيثِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَحَبَّنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ فَلْيُعِدَّ لِلْفَقْرِ جِلْبَاباً أَوْ تَجْفَافاً.

It is reported by Abu Ubeyd Al Qasim Bin Sallam in his book ‘Garaaib Al Hadees’.

‘From Amir Al-Momineen^asws having said: ‘One who loves us^asws, People^asws of the Household, then let him be prepared for the poverty as an apparel or dryness’’.

مَا رُوِيَ عَنْهُ ع‏ مِنْ أَنَّهُ رَأَى قَوْماً عَلَى بَابِهِ فَقَالَ يَا قَنْبَرُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَنْبَرُ هَؤُلَاءِ شِيعَتُكَ

What is reported from him (Ali^asws), he^asws saw a group at his^asws door so he^asws asked: ‘O Qanbar! Who are they?’ Qanbar said to him^asws, ‘They are your^asws Shias’.

فَقَالَ مَا لِي لَا أَرَى فِيهِمْ سِيمَاءَ الشِّيعَةِ قَالَ وَ مَا سِيمَاءُ الشِّيعَةِ قَالَ خُمْصُ الْبُطُونِ مِنَ الطَّوَى يُبْسُ الشِّفَاهِ مِنَ الظَّمَاءِ عُمْشُ الْعُيُونِ‏ مِنَ الْبُكَاءِ.

He^asws said: ‘What is the matter I^asws cannot see in them any markings of the Shia?’ He said, ‘And what are the marks of the Shias?’ He^asws said: ‘Absence of the belly (slim) from the hunger, dryness of the lips from the thirst, and weakness of the eyes from the crying’’.

باب 5 أن حبهم عليهم السلام علامة طيب الولادة و بغضهم علامة خبث الولادة

CHAPTER 5 – (HAVING) THEIR^asws LOVE IS A SIGN OF GOOD BIRTH, AND (HAVING) THEIR^asws HATRED IS A SIGN OF WICKED BIRTH

1- ج، الإحتجاج رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع يَا عَلِيُّ لَا يُحِبُّكَ إِلَّا مَنْ طَابَتْ وِلَادَتُهُ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ إِلَّا مَنْ خَبُثَتْ وِلَادَتُهُ وَ لَا يُوَالِيكَ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ وَ لَا يُعَادِيكَ إِلَّا كَافِرٌ.

(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ – It is reported from the Prophet^saww having said to Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws: ‘None will love you^asws except one of good birth, nor hate you^asws except one of wicked birth, none will befriend you^asws except a Momin, nor be inimical to you^asws except a Kafir’’.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘I shall be coming regarding what Amir Al-Momineen^asws advised Nowfan Al-Bikaly with, he^asws said: ‘O Nowf! He is lying, the one who claims that he has been born from Permissible (means), and he hates me^asws and hates the Imams^asws from my^asws sons^asws’’.

And I (Majlisi) shall be bringing in the chapters attributed to Ali^asws and the chapter on a summary of his^asws merits, in a lot of Ahadeeth, from Ibn Abbas and others that the Prophet^saww said: ‘None will love you^asws except one of clean birth, nor hate you^asws except one of wicked birth’, and similar to it are with a lot of chains’’.[273]

It was said, ‘And what is the first favour?’ He^asws said: ‘Good birth, and no one will love us^asws except one of good birth’’.[275]

Ali^asws went over to him without paying any attention to it, so he^asws shook him with such a shaking that his right ribs entered into his left, and the left into his right. Then he^asws said: ‘I^asws would kill you^asws, if Allah^azwj had Desired it’.

فَقَالَ لَنْ تَقْدِرَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مَعْلُومٍ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّي مَا لَكَ تُرِيدُ قَتْلِي فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا أَبْغَضَكَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا سَبَقَتْ نُطْفَتِي إِلَى رَحِمِ أُمِّهِ قَبْلَ نُطْفَةِ أَبِيهِ وَ لَقَدْ شَارَكْتُ مُبْغِضِيكَ فِي الْأَمْوَالِ وَ الْأَوْلَادِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي مُحْكَمِ كِتَابِهِ‏ وَ شارِكْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْوالِ وَ الْأَوْلادِ

He^la said, ‘You^asws will never be able to do that until the known term from my Lord^azwj. What is the matter with you^asws that you^asws intend to kill me? By Allah^azwj, no one hates you^asws except that I have preceded my seed into the womb of his mother before the seed of his father and I have participated with the one who hates you^asws in the wealth, and the children of his. And these are the Words of Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic in the Decisive of His^azwj Book: and participate in their wealth and their children [17:64]’.

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص صَدَقَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَا يُبْغِضُكَ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِلَّا سِفَاحِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِلَّا يَهُودِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ إِلَّا دَعِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ إِلَّا شَقِيٌّ وَ لَا مِنَ النِّسَاءِ إِلَّا سَلَقْلَقِيَّةٌ وَ هِيَ الَّتِي تَحِيضُ مِنْ دُبُرِهَا

The Prophet^saww said: ‘It is true, O Ali^asws! None shall hate you^asws from the Quraysh except for the one born of adultery, nor from the Helpers except for a Jew, nor from the Arabs except for one referred to someone other than his biological father, nor from the rest of the people except for a wretch, nor from the women except for a ‘Salaqiya’ – and she is one who menstruates from her behind.

ثُمَّ أَطْرَقَ مَلِيّاً ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ مَعَاشِرَ الْأَنْصَارِ اعْرِضُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ عَلَى مَحَبَّةِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَكُنَّا نَعْرِضُ حُبَّ عَلِيٍّ ع عَلَى أَوْلَادِنَا فَمَنْ أَحَبَّ عَلِيّاً عَلِمْنَا أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَوْلَادِنَا وَ مَنْ أَبْغَضَ عَلِيّاً انْتَفَيْنَا مِنْهُ‏.

Then Rasool-Allah^saww remained silent for a while, then raised his^saww head, so he^saww said: ‘O group of the Helpers! Present the love for Ali^asws to your children. The one who loves Ali^asws, then know that he is from your children, and the one who hates Ali^asws, be away from him’’.[292]

(The book) ‘Ma’ani Al Akhbar’ – Ibn Masrour, from Ibn Aamir, from his uncle, from Al Azdy, from Sayf Bin Ameyra,

‘From Al-Sadiq^asws having said: ‘There are (certain) signs for the one born of adultery. One of these are his hating us^asws People^asws of the Household, and its second it that he would incline towards the Prohibitions which he has been created from (adultery), and its third is that he will be holding Religion in light estimation, and its fourth is that he would be of evil presentation for the people, and no one would be of evil presentation to his brethren except one whose birth was upon other than the bed of his father, or one whose mother conceived him during her menstruation’’.[293]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Abdul Rahman Bin Muhammad Al Hajjal, from Abu Abdullah Al Madainy who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Whenever there is coolness of our^asws love upon the heart of one of you, then let him praise Allah^azwj upon the first Favour’. I said, ‘Upon the nature of Al-Islam?’

قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ عَلَى طِيبِ الْمَوْلِدِ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّنَا إِلَّا مَنْ طَابَتْ وِلَادَتُهُ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُنَا إِلَّا الْمُلَزَّقُ الَّذِي تَأْتِي بِهِ أُمُّهُ مِنْ رَجُلٍ آخَرَ فَتُلْزِمُهُ‏ زَوْجَهَا فَيَطَّلِعُ عَلَى عَوْرَاتِهِمْ وَ يَرِثُهُمْ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فَلَا يُحِبُّنَا ذَلِكَ أَبَداً وَ لَا يُحِبُّنَا إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ صَفْوَةً مِنْ أَيِّ الْجِيلِ كَانَ‏.

He^asws said: ‘No, but upon the good birth, because no one will love us^asws except if his birth is good, and no one will hate us^asws except the ‘Mulzaq’, the one his mother had been come to form another man, so she necessitated him to her husband. So, he got notified upon their nakedness, and inherited their wealth. That one will not love us^asws at all, not will anyone love us^asws except one who was clear from whichever descent he was’’.[294]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – My father, from Hamza Bin Abdullah, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from the one who mentioned it, from Is’haq who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘One from you who finds coolness of our^asws love upon his heart, then let him praise Allah^azwj upon the first Favour’. I said, ‘And what is the first Favour?’ He^asws said: ‘The good birth’’.[295]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Al Qasim Usman Bin Abdullah, a slave of Shureyh Al Kindy the judge who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah^asws, and in his^asws presence were Nasr the judge, and a man from the clan of Ka’ab from Ahmas.  He^asws narrated (several) Ahadeeth. When they went out, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! I have not left behind at Al-Kufa, neither any two Arabs nor two non-Arabs who are more hostile (to you^asws) than these two’.

فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَيْنِ صَحِيحٌ نَسَبُهُمَا وَ مَنْ صَحَّ نَسَبُهُ لَمْ يَدَّعِ عَلَى مِثْلِي مَا يُرِيدُ عَيْبَهُ‏

He^asws said: ‘These two are of correct lineages, and one who is of correct lineage would not call upon the like of me^asws intending to fault him’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ فَلَقِيتُهُمَا فَقُلْتُ لِلنَّصْرِ أَوَّلًا سَمِعْتُ مَا كُنَّا فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ مَعَ جَعْفَرٍ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنَّا إِلَّا فِي ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ مَوَاعِظَ حَسَنَةٍ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I went out to Al-Kufa to meet them. I said to Al-Nasr, ‘Did you hear what we were (discussing) in from the Ahadeeth with Ja’far^asws?’ He said, ‘By Allah^azwj! We were not (discussing) except Zikr of Allah^azwj and good advice’.

قَالَ لَقِيتُ الْآخَرَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا أَحْفَظُهُ وَ لَا أَذْكُرُ أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً

He (the narrator) said, ‘I met the other one and said to him similar to that. He said, ‘I did not memorise it nor do I remember anything I heard from him^asws’.

قَالَ فَذَكَّرْتُهُ حَدِيثاً مِنَ الْأَحَادِيثِ قَالَ لِي وَيْلَكَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ جَعْفَرٍ وَ تُعِيدُهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ رَأْسُ عَبْدٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ لَكَانَتْ رِجْلَاهُ مِنْ خَشَبٍ اذْهَبْ قَبَّحَكَ اللَّهُ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So, I mentioned a Hadeeth from the Ahadeeth. He said to me, ‘Woe be unto you! You heard this from Ja’far^asws and are repeating it? By Allah^azwj! If the head of a servant was from gold, his legs would be of wood (a metaphor). Go, may Allah^azwj Uglify you!’’[296]

25- سن، المحاسن بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَوْماً غَلَبُونِي عَلَى دَارٍ لِي فِي أَحْمَسَ وَ جِيرَانُهَا نُصَّابٌ وَ الرَّجُلُ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ فَقَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ الَّذِينَ ذَكَرْتُ قَوْمٌ لَهُمْ نَسَبٌ صَحِيحٌ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِهِمْ عَلَى اسْتِخْرَاجِ حَقِّكَ فَإِنَّهُمْ يَفْعَلُونَ

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’, by this chain, said,

‘I complained to Abu Abdullah^asws about a people who had overcome me during the excitement (troubles), and in the vicinity were Nasibis, and the man was not from among them’. Abu Abdullah^asws said to me: ‘Those whom you have mentioned are a people from whom is a correct lineage, so seek assistance by them on taking out your rights. They would be (prepared to) help you’.

قَالَ فَجِئْتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقُلْتُ لَهُمْ إِنَّ جَعْفَراً أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَسْتَعِينَ بِكُمْ فَقَالُوا إِي وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَمْ نَكُنْ بِمَوَالِي جَعْفَرٍ لَكَانَ الْوَاجِبُ عَلَيْنَا فِي صِحَّةِ نَسَبِهِ أَنْ نَقُومَ فِي رِسَالَتِهِ فَقَامُوا مَعِي حَتَّى اسْتَخْرَجُوا الدَّارَ فَبَاعُوهَا لِي وَ أَعْطَوْنِيَ الثَّمَنَ‏.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went to them, and I said to them, ‘Ja’far^asws has ordered me that I should seek assistance from you’. They said to me, ‘By Allah^azwj! If we were not with Wilayah of Ja’far^asws, it would have been an Obligation upon us regarding the correctness of his^asws lineage, that we should stand with regards to his^asws message’. They stood with me until we went outside the house. They sold it for me, and gave me the price’’.[297]

26- سن، المحاسن بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَوْنٍ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ: اكْتَرَيْتُ مِنْ جَمَّالٍ شِقَّ مَحْمِلٍ وَ قَالَ لِي لَا تَهْتَمَّ لِزَمِيلٍ فَلَكَ زَمِيلٌ فَلَمَّا كُنَّا بِالْقَادِسِيَّةِ إِذَا هُوَ قَدْ جَاءَنِي بِجَارٍ لِي مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَدْ كُنْتُ أَعْرِفُهُ بِخِلَافٍ شَدِيدٍ وَ قَالَ هَذَا زَمِيلُكَ‏ فَأَظْهَرْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ أَتَمَنَّاهُ عَلَى رَبِّي وَ أَدَّيْتُ‏ لَهُ فَرَحاً بِمُزَامَلَتِهِ وَ وَطَّنْتُ نَفْسِي أَنْ أَكُونَ عَبْداً لَهُ وَ أَخْدُمَهُ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ فَرَقاً مِنْهُ

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – One of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Awn Al Shaybani, from a man from our companions who said,

‘I hired half a camel loader and he (the owner) said to me, ‘Do not worry about the one who will be sharing the ride with you. When we were at Al-Qadisiyya, he came up with a neighbour of mine from the Arabs, and I knew him as being a harsh opponent, and he said, ‘This is your sharer, and expressed to him that I was happy to have him share with me and serve him, and extend all the help I can to him. I did all that and served him like a servant of his, and that made him considerate towards me.

قَالَ فَإِذَا كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَطَّنْتُ نَفْسِي عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ وَ الْعُبُودِيَّةِ لَهُ قَدْ بَادَرَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ قَالَ يَا هَذَا إِنَّ لِي عَلَيْكَ حَقّاً وَ لِي بِكَ حُرْمَةً فَقُلْتُ حُقُوقٌ وَ حُرَمٌ

Thus, when I served him like a slave, he started liking me.  And when we arrived at Al-Medina, he said to me, ‘Do I not have a right of companionship (over you) and you approve and respect me?’  I replied: ‘Indeed, you have rights upon me and I respect’. 

قَالَ قَدْ عَرَفْتُ أَيْنَ تَنْحُو فَاسْتَأْذِنْ لِي عَلَى صَاحِبِكَ قَالَ فَبُهِتُ‏ أَنْ أَنْظُرَ فِي وَجْهِهِ وَ لَا أَدْرِي‏ بِمَا أُجِيبُهُ

He then said: ‘I know very well where you will go, I would like you to ask permission for me to your Master^asws’. I was shocked to hear his words and I did not know what to answer him, instead I kept on looking at his face.

قَالَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ وَ جِوَارِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْخِلَافِ وَ قَصَصْتُ عَلَيْهِ قِصَّتَهُ إِلَى أَنْ سَأَلَنِي الِاسْتِئْذَانَ عَلَيْكَ فَمَا أَجَبْتُهُ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ قَالَ فَأْذَنْ لَهُ

I came up to Abu Abdullah^asws, I informed him^asws about that man, and of his neighbourhood from me and that he is one of opponents.  I narrated the story to him^asws until he^asws asked me to seek permission for him to see you^asws but I did not give any answer to him. He^asws said: ‘I^asws permit for him’. 

قَالَ فَلَمْ أُوتَ شَيْئاً مِنْ أُمُورِ الدُّنْيَا كُنْتُ بِهِ أَشَدَّ سُرُوراً مِنْ إِذْنِهِ لِيُعْلَمَ مَكَانِي مِنْهُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘So there was nothing which made me happier from the affairs of the world which was more intensely joyful from his^asws giving the permission, as my status was known from it’.

قَالَ فَجِئْتُ بِالرَّجُلِ فَأَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِالتَّرْحِيبِ ثُمَّ دَعَا لَهُ بِالْمَائِدَةِ وَ أَقْبَلَ لَا يَدَعُهُ يَتَنَاوَلُ إِلَّا مِمَّا كَانَ يَتَنَاوَلُهُ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُ اطْعَمْ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى إِذَا رُفِعَتِ الْمَائِدَةُ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَقْبَلْنَا نَسْمَعُ‏ مِنْهُ أَحَادِيثَ لَمْ أَطْمَعْ أَنْ أَسْمَعَ مِثْلَهَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَرْوِيهَا عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ

He (the narrator) said: ‘So I came with the man, and Abu Abdullah^asws faced towards him with the respect. Then he^asws called for the meal for him, and would not leave him to eat except from what he^asws ate himself^asws, and he^asws was saying: ‘Eat more, may Allah^azwj have Mercy upon you’, until when the meal was raised, Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww said (such and such). He went on to hear such Ahadeeth from him^asws which I had never heard having being reported from anyone from Abu Abdullah^asws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي آخِرِ كَلَامِهِ‏ وَ لَقَدْ أَرْسَلْنا رُسُلًا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ وَ جَعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَزْواجاً وَ ذُرِّيَّةً فَجَعَلَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنَ الْأَزْوَاجِ وَ الذُّرِّيَّةِ مِثْلَ مَا جَعَلَ لِلرُّسُلِ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ فَنَحْنُ عَقِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ ذُرِّيَّتُهُ أَجْرَى اللَّهُ لآِخِرِنَا مِثْلَ مَا أَجْرَى لِأَوَّلِنَا

Then Abu Abdullah^asws said towards the end of his^asws speech: ‘And We had Sent Rasools from before you and We Made wives and offspring to be for them [13:38].  Thus, Allah^azwj, Gave children and wives to Rasool-Allah^saww as they were given to the Rasools^as before him^saww.  So, we^asws are the children and Progeny^asws of Rasool-Allah^saww.  Allah^azwj has Made to flow for the last one of us^asws as Allah^azwj has Made it to flow for the first one of us^asws. 

قَالَ ثُمَّ قُمْنَا فَلَمْ تَمُرَّ بِي لَيْلَةٌ أَطْوَلُ مِنْهَا فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ جِئْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَ لَمْ أُخْبِرْكَ بِخَبَرِ الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ بَلَى وَ لَكِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَهُ أَصْلٌ فَإِنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْراً قَبِلَ مَا سَمِعَ مِنَّا وَ إِنْ يُرِدْ بِهِ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مَنَعَهُ مَا ذَكَرْتُ مِنْهُ مِنْ قَدْرِهِ أَنْ يَحْكِيَ عَنَّا شَيْئاً مِنْ أَمْرِنَا

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then we arose (and left). There did not pass for me a night longer than it. So when it was the morning, I came up to Abu Abdullah^asws, so I said to him^asws, ‘Did I not inform you with the news of the man?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes, but the man, there is an origin for him, so Allah^azwj Intended goodness with him before what he heard from us, and if He^azwj had Intended other than that, would have Prevented him. What I^asws have mentioned from it, from the amount of Ahadeeth, he would tell something from us^asws, from our^asws matter (Al-Wilayah)’.

قَالَ فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتُ الْعِرَاقَ مَا أَرَى‏ أَنَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَحَداً أَنْفَذُ مِنْهُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So when I reached Al-Iraq, and I did not see in the world anyone more committed to this matter (Al-Wilayah) than him’’.[298]

(The book) ‘Kashf Al Yaqeen’ – From the book of Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Al Saqafi, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Al Hakam Bin Zuheyr, form Jabir who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^saww was seated with his^saww companions and he^saww saw Ali^asws, so he^saww said: ‘This is Amir Al-Momineen^asws, and chief of the Muslims, and Emir of the resplendent’.

فَجَلَسَ بَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ بَيْنَ عَائِشَةَ فَقَالَتْ يَا ابْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ مَا وَجَدْتَ مَقْعَداً غَيْرَ فَخِذِي فَضَرَبَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِيَدِهِ مِنْ خَلْفِهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا تُؤْذِينِي فِي حَبِيبِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُبْغِضُهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةٌ لِزَنْيَةٍ أَوْ مُنَافِقٌ أَوْ مَنْ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ فِي بَعْضِ حَيْضِهَا.

He^asws sat down in between the Prophet^saww and Ayesha. She said, ‘O son^asws of Abu Talib^asws! Did you^asws not find any seat apart from my thigh?’ Rasool-Allah^saww hit her with his^saww hand from behind her, then said: ‘Do not hurt me^saww regarding my^saww beloved, for no one would hate him^asws except three – One of an adulteress, or a hypocrite, or one whose mother conceived him during part of her menstruation’’.[299]

(The book) ‘Al Irshad’ – Al Muzaffar Bin Muhammad Al Balkhy, from Abu Bakr Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Abu Al Salj, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Alawy, from Ahmad Bin Abdul Muhim, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Fazary,

‘From Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws, from his^asws father^asws, from Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari who said, ‘I heard Rasool-Allah^saww saying to Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws: ‘Shall I^saww make you^asws happy? Shall I^saww confer upon you^asws? Shall I^saww give you^asws glad tidings?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah^saww! Give me^asws the glad tidings’.

قَالَ فَإِنِّي خُلِقْتُ أَنَا وَ أَنْتَ مِنْ طِينَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ فَفَضَلَتْ مِنْهَا فَضْلَةٌ فَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا شِيعَتَنَا فَإِنَّهُمْ يُدْعَوْنَ بِأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ لِطِيبِ مَوْلِدِهِمْ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ دُعِيَ النَّاسُ بِأَسْمَاءِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ سِوَى شِيعَتِنَا.

He^saww said: ‘Surely I^saww and you^asws have been created from one clay. A remnant remained from it, so Allah^azwj Created our^asws Shias from it. Thus, they would be called by the names of their fathers due to the goodness of their birth. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the people would be called with the names (surname) of their mothers besides our^asws Shias’’.[300]

29- شا، الإرشاد الْمُظَفَّرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي الثَّلْجِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الزُّهْرِيِ‏ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي حُصَيْنٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ دُعِيَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ بِأَسْمَاءِ أُمَّهَاتِهِمْ مَا خَلَا شِيعَتَنَا فَإِنَّهُمْ يُدْعَوْنَ بِأَسْمَاءِ آبَائِهِمْ وَ طِيْبِ مَوَالِدِهِمْ‏.

‘Rasool-Allah^saww said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the people, all of them would be called by the names of their mothers apart from our^asws Shias, for they would be called with the names of their fathers, and their births are good’’.[301]

(The book) ‘Al Irshad’ – Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Qummi, from Muhammad Bin Hammam Bin Sahl Al Iskafi, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik, from Muhammad Bin Nu’mah Al Saluly, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim, from Abdullah Bin Jabalah, from his father who said,

‘I heard Jabir Bin Abdullah Bin Hizam Al-Ansari saying, ‘We a group of the Helpers, were in the presence of Rasool-Allah^saww one day, he^saww said to us: ‘O community of the Helpers! Make your children righteous by the love of Ali^asws Bin Abu Talib^asws! The one who loves him^asws, then know that is he is for righteousness, and one who hates him^asws, then know that he is for a sin’’.[302]

The book ‘Al Istidrak’, by his chain to Ibn Uqdah, by his chain to Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Mansour Bin Hazim who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying: ‘One who does not happen to be a Shia of ours^asws, so he is, by Allah^azwj, a bonded slave, whether he likes it or not’’.[303]
