CHAPTER 4 – HIS^-saww MIRACLES REGARDING THE OBEDIENCE OF THE GROUNDS, FROM THE STONES AND THE VEGETATION, TO HIM^-saww AND THEIR SPEAKING WITH HIM^-saww

1- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتِ أَسَدٍ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا ظَهَرَتْ أَمَارَةُ وَفَاةِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ لِأَوْلَادِهِ مَنْ يَكْفُلُ مُحَمَّداً قَالُوا هُوَ أَكْيَسُ مِنَّا فَقُلْ لَهُ يَخْتَارُ لِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ جَدُّكَ عَلَى جَنَاحِ السَّفَرِ إِلَى الْقِيَامَةِ أَيَّ عُمُومَتِكَ وَ عَمَّاتِكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ يَكْفُلَكَ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from (Syeda) Fatima Bint Asad^-asws that when death approached a wife of Abdul Muttalib^-asws, he^-asws said to his^-asws children, ‘Who will be responsible for Muhammad^-saww?’ They said, ‘He^-saww is the cleverest of us, so tell him^-saww to choose for himself^-saww’. Abdul Muttalib^-asws said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Your^-saww grandfather^-asws is upon the wings of the journey to the Qiyamah, so which of your^-saww uncles and aunties do you^-saww want to take care of you^-saww?’

فَنَظَرَ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ ثُمَّ زَحَفَ إِلَى عِنْدِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ‏ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الْمُطَّلِبِ يَا أَبَا طَالِبٍ إِنِّي قَدْ عَرَفْتُ دِيَانَتَكَ وَ أَمَانَتَكَ فَكُنْ لَهُ كَمَا كُنْتُ لَهُ

He^-saww looked into their faces, then crawled to be with Abu Talib^-asws. Abdul Muttalib^-asws said to him^-asws: ‘O Abu Talib^-asws! I^-asws recognised your^-asws Religion and your^-asws trustworthiness, so become for him^-saww just as I^-asws had become for him^-saww’.

قَالَتْ فَلَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ أَخَذَهُ أَبُو طَالِبٍ وَ كُنْتُ أَخْدُمُهُ وَ كَانَ يَدْعُونِي الْأُمَّ قَالَتْ‏ وَ كَانَ فِي بُسْتَانِ دَارِنَا نَخَلَاتٌ وَ كَانَ أَوَّلُ إِدْرَاكِ الرُّطَبِ وَ كَانَ أَرْبَعُونَ صَبِيّاً مِنْ أَتْرَابِ‏ مُحَمَّدٍ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي الْبُسْتَانِ وَ يَلْتَقِطُونَ مَا يَسْقُطُ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ قَطُّ مُحَمَّداً يَأْخُذُ رُطَبَةً مِنْ يَدِ صَبِيٍّ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهَا وَ الْآخَرُونَ يَخْتَلِسُ بَعْضُهُمْ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَ كُنْتُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَلْتَقِطُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ حَفْنَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا وَ كَذَلِكَ جَارِيَتِي فَاتَّفَقَ يَوْماً أَنْ نَسِيتُ أَنْ أَلْتَقِطَ لَهُ شَيْئاً وَ نَسِيَتْ جَارِيَتِي

She^-asws said, ‘When he^-asws passed away, Abu Talib^-asws took to serving him^-saww and he^-saww used to call me^-asws ‘mother’. And there used to be palm trees in an orchard and at the first bearing of the dates there were forty children from the similar age as Muhammad^-saww who were entering the orchard every day, and they would take whatever fell. But, I^-asws did not see Muhammad^-saww grab any date at all from the hand of any child who preceded to it, while the others would snatch from each other, and every day I^-asws used to cut for Muhammad^-saww a handful and what is above it, and so did my^-asws maid.

وَ كَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ نَائِماً وَ دَخَلَ الصِّبْيَانُ وَ أَخَذُوا كُلَّ مَا سَقَطَ مِنَ الرُّطَبِ وَ انْصَرَفُوا فَنِمْتُ فَوَضَعْتُ الْكُمَّ عَلَى وَجْهِي حَيَاءً مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ إِذَا انْتَبَهَ

One day by co-incidence, I^-as forgot to cut (the dates) and so did my^-as maid, and Muhammad^-saww was sleeping, and the children came and took whatever had fallen from the dates and they left. I^-as placed a sleeve upon my^-as face out of embarrassment from Muhammad^-saww when he^-saww awoke’.

قَالَتْ فَانْتَبَهَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ دَخَلَ الْبُسْتَانَ فَلَمْ يَرَ رُطَبَةً عَلَى وَجْهِ الْأَرْضِ فَانْصَرَفَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ الْجَارِيَةُ إِنَّا نَسِينَا أَنْ نَلْتَقِطَ شَيْئاً وَ الصِّبْيَانُ دَخَلُوا وَ أَكَلُوا جَمِيعَ مَا كَانَ قَدْ سَقَطَ

She^-asws said, ‘Muhammad^-saww woke up and entered the orchard but did not see any dates upon the surface of the earth, and left. The maid said to him^-saww, ‘We forgot to cut anything, and the children entered and ate the entirety of what had fallen’’.

قَالَتْ فَانْصَرَفَ مُحَمَّدٌ إِلَى الْبُسْتَانِ وَ أَشَارَ إِلَى نَخْلَةٍ وَ قَالَ أَيَّتُهَا الشَّجَرَةُ أَنَا جَائِعٌ قَالَتْ‏ فَرَأَيْتُ الشَّجَرَةَ قَدْ وَضَعَتْ أَغْصَانَهَا الَّتِي عَلَيْهَا الرُّطَبُ حَتَّى أَكَلَ مِنْهَا مُحَمَّدٌ مَا أَرَادَ ثُمَّ ارْتَفَعَتْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِهَا

She^-asws said: ‘Muhammad^-saww left to the orchard and gestured towards a palm tree and said: ‘O tree! I^-saww am hungry’. I saw the tree to have placed down its branches upon which were the dates until Muhammad^-saww ate from it whatever he^-saww wanted, then it rose back to its place’.

قَالَتْ فَاطِمَةُ فَتَعَجَّبْتُ وَ كَانَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ قَدْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الدَّارِ وَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِذَا رَجَعَ وَ قَرَعَ الْبَابَ كُنْتُ أَقُولُ لِلْجَارِيَةِ حَتَّى تَفْتَحَ الْبَابَ فَقَرَعَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ‏ فَعَدَوْتُ حَافِيَةً إِلَيْهِ وَ فَتَحْتُ الْبَابَ وَ حَكَيْتُ لَهُ مَا رَأَيْتُ فَقَالَ هُوَ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ نَبِيّاً وَ أَنْتِ تَلِدِينَ لَهُ وَزِيراً بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِينَ‏ فَوَلَدْتُ عَلِيّاً كَمَا قَالَ‏

(Syeda) Fatima^-asws said: ‘I^-asws as astonished, and Abu Talib^-asws had gone out from the house, and every day when he^-asws returned and knocked the door, I^-asws would say to the maid until she would open the door. Abu Talib^-asws knocked, and I^-asws went and opened the door and related to him^-asws what I^-asws had seen. He^-asws said: ‘But rather he^-saww happens to be a Prophet^-saww, and you^-asws will be Blessed by a Vizier of his^-saww after thirty years’. And (I^-asws was) Blessed with Ali^-asws just as he^-asws had said’’.[1]

2- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ إِذَا مَشَيْتُ فِي شِعَابِ مَكَّةَ مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمُرُّ بِحَجَرٍ وَ لَا شَجَرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Jabir who said, ‘Whenever I walked in the streets of Makkah along with Muhammad^-saww, there did not happen to pass by a stone or a tree except it said, ‘The greetings be on you^-as, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’’.[2]

3- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ قَالَ فَنَزَلْنَا يَوْماً فِي بَعْضِ الصَّحَارِي الْقَلِيلَةِ الشَّجَرِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى شَجَرَتَيْنِ صَغِيرَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَمَّارُ صِرْ إِلَى الشَّجَرَتَيْنِ فَقُلْ لَهُمَا يَأْمُرُكُمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَلْتَقِيَا حَتَّى يَقْعُدَ تَحْتَكُمَا فَأَقْبَلَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى الْأُخْرَى حَتَّى الْتَقَتَا فَصَارَتَا كَالشَّجَرَةِ الْوَاحِدَةِ وَ مَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَلْفَهُمَا فَقَضَى حَاجَتَهُ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ الْخُرُوجَ قَالَ لِتَرْجِعْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ إِلَى مَكَانِهَا فَرَجَعَتَا كَذَلِكَ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Amar Bin Yasser that he was with Rasool-Allah^-saww in one of his^-saww journeys, said, ‘One day we descended in one of the desert areas with few trees. He^-saww looked at two small tree and said to me: ‘O Amar! Go to the two trees and say to them, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww orders you both to meet up until he^-saww sits beneath you’. Each one came and met with the other until they both became like one tree, and Rasool-Allah^-saww went behind them and fulfilled his^-saww need. When he^-saww intended to come out, he^-saww said: ‘Let each one return to its place’, and they returned like that’’.[3]

4 قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب يج، الخرائج و الجرائح عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ سَيَابَةَ مِثْلَهُ‏

From Ya’la Bin Sayabah – similar to it.[4]

5- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ ص‏ لَمَّا غَزَا بِتَبُوكَ كَانَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَمْسَةٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ أَلْفاً سِوَى خَدَمِهِمْ فَمَرَّ ص فِي مَسِيرِهِ بِجَبَلٍ يَرْشَحُ الْمَاءُ مِنْ أَعْلَاهُ إِلَى أَسْفَلِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ سَيَلَانٍ فَقَالُوا مَا أَعْجَبَ رَشْحَ هَذَا الْجَبَلِ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَبْكِي قَالُوا وَ الْجَبَلُ يَبْكِي قَالَ أَ تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَعْلَمُوا ذَلِكَ قَالُوا نَعَمْ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – From his^-saww miracles – When there was a military expedition at Tabuk, there were twenty-five thousand from the Muslims with him^-saww, besides their servants. He^-saww passed by a mountain in his^-saww journey which was trickling the water from its top to its bottom, from without there being a flood. They said, ‘How strange is the sprinkle of this mountain?’ He^-saww said: ‘It is crying’. They said, ‘And the mountain cries?’ He^-saww said: ‘Would you like to know that?’ They said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ أَيُّهَا الْجَبَلُ مِمَّ بُكَاؤُكَ فَأَجَابَهُ الْجَبَلُ وَ قَدْ سَمِعَهُ الْجَمَاعَةُ بِلِسَانٍ فَصِيحٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَرَّ بِي عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَ هُوَ يَتْلُو ناراً وَقُودُهَا النَّاسُ وَ الْحِجارَةُ فَأَنَا أَبْكِي مُنْذُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ خَوْفاً مِنْ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْحِجَارَةِ

He^-saww said: ‘O you mountain! What are you crying for?’ The mountain answered, and made the gathering to hear, in eloquent tongue: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Isa^-as Bin Maryam^-as had passed by me and he^-as was reciting a Fire whose fuel are the people and the stones. [66:6], so I have been crying since that day out of fear from becoming from those stones’.

فَقَالَ اسْكُنْ مَكَانَكَ فَلَسْتَ مِنْهَا إِنَّمَا تِلْكَ حِجَارَةُ الْكِبْرِيتِ فَجَفَّ ذَلِكَ الرَّشْحُ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ فِي الْوَقْتِ حَتَّى لَمْ يُرَ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الرَّشْحِ وَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الرُّطُوبَةِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ‏

He^-saww said: ‘Calm down in your place for you aren’t from those. But rather those are sulphuric stones’. That sprinkle from the mountain dried up at that time until nothing was seen from that sprinkle and from that wetness which used to be’’.[5]

6- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا بَنَى مَسْجِدَهُ كَانَ فِيهِ جِذْعُ نَخْلٍ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْمِحْرَابِ يَابِسٌ عَتِيقٌ إِذَا خَطَبَ يَسْتَنِدُ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا اتُّخِذَ لَهُ الْمِنْبَرُ وَ صَعِدَ حَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْجِذْعُ كَحَنِينِ النَّاقَةِ إِلَى فَصِيلِهَا

It is reported that when the Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj built his^-saww Masjid, there was a trunk of an old ancient palm tree in it to the side of the prayer niche. When he^-saww addressed, he^-saww leaned upon it. When a pulpit was taken for him^-saww and he^-saww ascended, that trunk wailed like the wailing of the she-camel tends to wail to its young ones.

فَنَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَاحْتَضَنَهُ فَسَكَنَ مِنَ الْحَنِينِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ يُسَمَّى الحَنَّانَةَ إِلَى أَنْ هَدَمَ بَنُو أُمَيَّةَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ جَدَّدُوا بِنَاءَهُ فَقَلَعُوا الْجِذْعَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww descended and embraced it, and it calmed down from the wailing. Then Rasool-Allah^-saww returned and the wailing was heard until such time as the construction of the Masjid was demolished and its building was renewed, and the trunk was uprooted’’.[6]

7- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ لِيَهُودِيٍّ حَقٌّ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ وَ قَدْ عَقَدَ عَلَى أَنْ يَغْرِسَ الْمُسْلِمُ لَهُ عِدَّةَ خَطٍّ مِنَ النَّخِيلِ وَ يُرَبِّيَهَا إِلَى أَنْ تُرْطِبَ أَلْوَاناً كَثِيرَةً فَإِنَّهُ ص أَمَرَ عَلِيّاً أَنْ يَأْخُذَ النَّوَى عَلَى عَدَدِ تِلْكَ الْأَشْجَارِ الَّتِي ضَمِنَهَا الْمُسْلِمُ لِلْيَهُودِيِّ فَصَارَ يَضَعُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص النَّوَى فِي فِيهِ ثُمَّ يُعْطِيهِ عَلِيّاً فَيَدْفِنُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that there was a right for a Jew upon a Muslim, and he had agreed that the Muslim would plant a number of seeds of palm trees for him and nourish them until a lot of varieties of dates mature. He^-saww instructed Ali^-asws to take the seeds upon a number of those trees which the Muslim had guaranteed to the Jew, and Rasool-Allah^-saww placed the seeds in his^-saww mouth, then gave them to Ali^-asws and he^-asws buried them in the ground.

فَإِذَا اشْتَغَلَ بِالثَّانِي نَبَتَ الْأَوَّلُ حَتَّى تَمَّتْ أَشْجَارُ النَّخْلِ عَلَى الْأَلْوَانِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ مِنَ الصُّفْرَةِ وَ الْحُمْرَةِ وَ الْبَيَاضِ وَ السَّوَادِ وَ غَيْرِهَا وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَمْشِي يَوْماً بَيْنَ نَخَلَاتٍ وَ مَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع فَنَادَتْ نَخْلَةٌ إِلَى نَخْلَةٍ هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هَذَا وَصِيُّهُ فَسُمِّيَتِ الصَّيْحَانِيَّةَ

When the he^-asws was pre-occupied with the second, the first grew until the trees were complete upon the different variety of the (dates), from Al-Sofra, and the white and the black and others, and one day the Prophet^-saww walked between the palm trees and with him^-saww was Ali^-asws, and the palm tree called out to a palm tree: ‘This is Rasool-Allah^-saww and this is his^-saww successor^-asws’ and the orchard heard’’.[7]

8- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا غَزَوْنَا خَيْبَرَ وَ مَعَنَا مِنْ يَهُودِ فَدَكٍ جَمَاعَةٌ فَلَمَّا أَشْرَفْنَا عَلَى الْقَاعِ إِذَا نَحْنُ بِالْوَادِي وَ الْمَاءُ يَقْلَعُ الشَّجَرَ وَ يُدَهْدِهُ الْجِبَالَ

Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said: ‘When we went on military expedition of Khyber and with us was a group of Jews of Fadak. When we arrived at the bottom, we were by the valley and the water was felling the trees and eroding the mountain.

قَالَ فَقَدَّرْنَا الْمَاءَ فَإِذَا هُوَ أَرْبَعَ عَشْرَةَ قَامَةً فَقَالَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الْعَدُوُّ مِنْ وَرَائِنَا وَ الْوَادِي قُدَّامَنَا فَنَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَسَجَدَ وَ دَعَا ثُمَّ قَالَ سِيرُوا عَلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَعَبَرَتِ الْخَيْلُ وَ الْإِبِلُ وَ الرُّجَّالُ‏

He^-asws said: ‘We measured out the water and it was of fourteen statures (in depth). Some of the people said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! The enemies are behind us and the valley in front of us’. The Prophet^-saww descended and performed a Sajdah and supplicated, then said: ‘Cross over in the Name of Allah^-azwj!’ He^-asws said: ‘The horses, and the camel and the men crossed over’’.[8]

9 جَابِرٌ، خَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ قَالَ جُدُّوا فِي الْحَفْرِ فَجَدُّوا وَ اجْتَهَدُوا وَ لَمْ يَزَالُوا يَحْفِرُونَ حَتَّى فُرِغَ مِنَ الْحَفْرِ وَ التُّرَابُ حَوْلَ الْخَنْدَقِ تَلٌّ عَالٍ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْزَعْ يَا جَابِرُ فَسَوْفَ تَرَى عَجَباً مِنَ التُّرَابِ

The Prophet^-saww came out to the Muslims and said: ‘Strive in digging the hole’. They strived and struggled and did not cease digging until they were free from the digging and the soil was around the ditch like a high hill. He^-saww was informed of that, and he^-saww that: ‘Do not panic, O Jabir, for soon you will see wonders from the soil’.

قَالَ وَ أَقْبَلَ اللَّيْلُ وَ وَجَدْتُ عِنْدَ التُّرَابِ جَلَبَةً وَ ضَجَّةً عَظِيمَةً وَ قَائِلٌ يَقُولُ‏

انْتَسِفُوا التُّرَابَ وَ الصَّعِيدَا		وَ اسْتَوْدِعُوهُ بَلَداً بَعِيداً
وَ عَاوِنُوا مُحَمَّدَ الرَّشِيدَا		قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَمِيدَا
أَخَاهُ وَ ابْنَ عَمِّهِ الصِّنْدِيدَا

فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ لَمْ أَجِدْ مِنَ التُّرَابِ كَفّاً وَاحِداً

He said, ‘And the night came and great commotion and noise was found at the soil, and a speaker was saying, ‘Break through the soil and ascend, and prepare the distant city and assist Muhammad^-saww rightfully. Allah^-saww has Made a hope to be for him^-saww in his^-saww cousin (Ali^-asws), the valiant!’ When it was morning, I did not even find a handful of the soil’’.[9]

10- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب‏ اسْتَنَدَ النَّبِيُّ ص عَلَى شَجَرَةٍ يَابِسَةٍ فَأَوْرَقَتْ وَ أَثْمَرَتْ

‘Al-Manaqib of Ibn Shehr Ashoub’ – The Prophet^-saww leaned upon a dried-up tree and it sprouted leaves and bore fruit’’.[10]

11 وَ نَزَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِالْجُحْفَةِ تَحْتَ شَجَرَةٍ قَلِيلَةِ الظِّلِّ وَ نَزَلَ أَصْحَابُهُ حَوْلَهُ فَتَدَاخَلَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَأَذِنَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِتِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةِ الصَّغِيرَةِ حَتَّى ارْتَفَعَتْ وَ ظَلَّلَتِ الْجَمِيعَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ‏ أَ لَمْ تَرَ إِلى‏ رَبِّكَ كَيْفَ مَدَّ الظِّلَّ وَ لَوْ شاءَ لَجَعَلَهُ ساكِناً

And the Prophet^-saww descended at Al-Juhfa beneath a tree of little shade, and his^-saww companions descended around him^-saww, so, something from that entered him^-saww and Allah^-azwj the Exalted Permitted the small tree until it rose and shaded all of them. Allah^-azwj, Exalted is His^-azwj Mention Revealed: Do you not look at your Lord how He Extends the shade? And had he so Desired, He would have Made it stationary. [25:45]’’.[11]

12- شي، تفسير العياشي عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ثَلَاثُمِائَةٍ وَ سِتُّونَ صَنَماً لِكُلِّ حَيٍّ مِنْ أَحْيَاءِ الْعَرَبِ الْوَاحِدُ وَ الِاثْنَانِ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ‏ خَرَّتْ فِي الْكَعْبَةِ سُجَّداً

‘Tafseer Al Ayyashi’ – From Ismail, raising it to Saeed bin Jubeyr who said, ‘There were three hundred and sixty idols upon the Kabah, there being one of two for every tribe from the Arabian tribes. When this Verse was Revealed: Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him, – up to His^-azwj Words: the Mighty, the Wise [3:18]. They fell down in the Kaaba in Sajdah’’.[12]

13- ير، بصائر الدرجات أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِالْكَلَامِ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا يُؤْمِنُ إِلَّا بِالنَّظَرِ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ أَرِنِي آيَةً ‏

‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed and Ali Bin Al Hakam altogether, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from hamad Bin Usman,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘From the people there is one who believes by (listening to) the speech, and from them is one who does not believe except by the looking. A man came to the Prophet^-saww and said to him^-saww, ‘Show me a sign’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِشَجَرَتَيْنِ اجْتَمِعَا فَاجْتَمَعَتَا ثُمَّ قَالَ تَفَرَّقَا فَافْتَرَقَتَا وَ رَجَعَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى مَكَانِهِمَا قَالَ فَآمَنَ الرَّجُلُ‏

Rasool-Allah^-saww said to two trees: ‘Be together!’ They got together. Then he^-saww said: ‘Separate!’ They separated, and each one of them returned to its place. The man believed’’.[13]

‘Qasas Al-Anbiya^-as’ – Al-Sadouq, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Kufy, from a man from our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww ended up to the western corner and passed it, the corner (of the Kabah) said to him^-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Am I not a foundation from the foundations of the House of your^-saww Lord^-azwj, so what is the matter you^-saww do not kiss me?’ Rasool-Allah^-saww went near it and said: ‘Calm down! Upon you be the greeting, without being forsaken!’

وَ دَخَلَ حَائِطاً فَنَادَتْهُ الْعَرَاجِينُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهَا يَقُولُ خُذْ مِنِّي فَأَكَلَ وَ دَنَا مِنَ الْعَجْوَةِ فَسَجَدَتْ فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهَا وَ انْفَعْ بِهَا

And he^-saww entered an orchard and every date tree called out from every side, ‘The greetings be upon you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ And every one of them was saying, ‘Take from me’. He^-saww ate and went near to the Ajwa (date) and praise and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Bless upon it and Benefit (people) by it’’.

فَمِنْ ثَمَّ رُوِيَ أَنَّ الْعَجْوَةَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ قَالَ ص إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ حَجَراً بِمَكَّةَ كَانَ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ قَبْلَ أَنْ أُبْعَثَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُهُ الْآنَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ ص يَمُرُّ فِي طَرِيقٍ يَتْبَعُهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ سَلَكَهُ مِنْ طِيبِ عَرْفِهِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَمُرُّ بِحَجَرٍ وَ لَا شَجَرٍ إِلَّا سَجَدَ لَهُ‏

From then, it is reported that the Ajwa is from Paradise, and he^-saww said: ‘I^-saww recognise a rock at Makkah which used to greet unto me^-saww before I^-saww was Sent. I^-saww recognise it now’. And he^-saww did not pass by in a street and someone followed him^-saww except he would recognise that he^-saww had travelled it, recognising him^-saww from the aroma, and he^-saww did not pass by a rock, nor a tree except it did Sajdah to him^-saww’’.[16]

‘Qasas Al-Anbiya^-as’ – From Al-Sadouq, from Abdullah Bin Hamid, from Hamid Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz, from Muhammad Bin Saeed al Isfahany, from Shareek, from Samaak, from Abu Zabyan, from Ibn Abbas who said,

‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet^-saww and said, ‘By what can I recognise that you^-saww are a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj?’ He^-saww said: ‘What is your view if I^-saww were to call this cluster from this palm tree to come to me^-saww and testify that I^-saww am a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ فَدَعَا الْعِذْقَ فَجَعَلَ الْعِذْقُ يَنْزِلُ مِنَ النَّخْلِ حَتَّى سَقَطَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَجَعَلَ يَبْقُرُ حَتَّى أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ص ثُمَّ قَالَ ارْجِعْ فَرَجَعَ حَتَّى عَادَ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ آمَنَ فَخَرَجَ الْعَامِرِيُّ يَقُولُ يَا آلَ عَامِرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا أُكَذِّبُهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ أَبَداً

He (the narrator) said, ‘He^-saww called the cluster, and the cluster went on to descend from the palm tree until it fell upon the ground and until it came to the Prophet^-saww. Then he^-saww said: ‘Return!’ It returned until it was back in its place. He said, ‘I testify that you^-saww are a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj, and I believe. Al-Aamiry came out saying, ‘O family of Aamir Bin Sa’sah! By Allah^-azwj, I will not belie him^-saww with anything, ever!’

وَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ رُكَانَةُ وَ كَانَ كَافِراً مِنْ أَفْتَكِ النَّاسِ يَرْعَى غَنَماً لَهُ بِوَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ وَادِي إِضَمٍ‏ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْوَادِي فَلَقِيَهُ رُكَانَةُ فَقَالَ لَوْ لَا رَحِمٌ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ مَا كَلَّمْتُكَ حَتَّى قَتَلْتُكَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي تَشْتِمُ آلِهَتَنَا ادْعُ إِلَهَكَ ينجيك [يُنْجِكَ‏] مِنِّي

And there was a man from the Clan of Hashim^-as called Rakanah, and he was a Kafir from the most destructive of the people. He pastured sheep of his at a valley called Izam valley. The Prophet^-saww came out to that valley and Rakanah met him. He said, ‘Had there not been a relationship between me and you^-saww, I would not speak to you^-saww until I kill you^-saww. You are the one who insults our gods? Call your^-saww God to Rescue you from me!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ صَارِعْنِي فَإِنْ أَنْتَ صَرَعْتَنِي فَلَكَ عَشَرَةٌ مِنْ غَنَمِي فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ صَرَعَهُ وَ جَلَسَ عَلَى صَدْرِهِ فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ فَلَسْتَ بِي فَعَلْتَ هَذَا إِنَّمَا فَعَلَهُ إِلَهُكَ‏

Then he said, ‘Wrestle with me, for if you^-saww overpower me then ten of my sheep would be for you^-saww’. The Prophet^-saww grabbed him and wrestled him and sat upon his chest. Rakanah said, ‘You^-saww didn’t do this with me, but rather your^-saww God Did it’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ رُكَانَةُ عُدْ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ صَرَعْتَنِي فَلَكَ عَشَرَةٌ أُخْرَى تَخْتَارُهَا فَصَرَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص الثَّانِيَةَ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَهُ إِلَهُكَ عُدْ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ صَرَعْتَنِي فَلَكَ عَشَرَةٌ أُخْرَى فَصَرَعَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص الثَّالِثَةَ فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ خَذَلْتَ اللَّاتَ وَ الْعُزَّى فَدُونَكَ ثَلَاثِينَ شَاةً فَاخْتَرْهَا

Then Rakanah said, ‘Repeat, so if you^-saww were to overpower me, then another ten would be for you^-saww, you can choose these’. The Prophet^-saww overcame him for a second time. He said, ‘But rather your^-saww God Did it’. Repeat, so if you^-saww overpower me, then ten more would be for you^-saww’. The Prophet^-saww overcame him for the third time. Rakanah said, ‘I was abandoned by Al-Laat and Al-Uzza. For you^-saww are thirty sheep, so choose them’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا أُرِيدُ ذَلِكَ وَ لَكِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ يَا رُكَانَةُ وَا نَفْسَ رُكَانَةَ يَصِيرُ إِلَى النَّارِ إِنَّكَ إِنْ تُسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ لَا إِلَّا أَنْ تُرِيَنِي آيَةً فَقَالَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ عَلَيْكَ الْآنَ إِنْ دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي فَأَرَيْتُكَ آيَةً لَتُجِيبُنِي إِلَى مَا أَدْعُوكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ

The Prophet^-saww said to him: ‘I^-saww do not want that, but I^-saww invite you to Al-Islam, O Rakanah, and the soul of Rakanah is destined to the Fire. You, if you were to become a Muslim, it will be safe’. Rakanah said, ‘No, unless you^-saww show me a sign’. The Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj said: ‘Allah^-azwj is a Witness upon you now, if I^-saww were to supplicate to my^-saww Lord^-azwj and show you a sign, will you answer me^-saww to what I^-saww am inviting you?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

وَ قَرُبَتْ مِنْهُ شَجَرَةٌ ثمرة [مُثْمِرَةٌ] قَالَ أَقْبِلِي بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَانْشَقَّتْ بِاثْنَيْنِ وَ أَقْبَلَتْ عَلَى نِصْفِهَا بِسَاقِهَا حَتَّى كَانَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ أَرَيْتَنِي شَيْئاً عَظِيماً فَمُرْهَا فَلْتَرْجِعْ

And he^-saww went near a fruit-bearing tree and said: ‘Uproot, by the Permission of Allah^-azwj!’ It split into two and came upon its half by its legs (roots) until it was in front of the Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj. Rakanah said, ‘Show me something great, so order it to return.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص اللَّهُ شَهِيدٌ إِنْ أَنَا دَعَوْتُ رَبِّي يَأْمُرُهَا فَرَجَعَتْ لَتُجِيبُنِي إِلَى مَا أَدْعُوكَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ فَأَمَرَهَا فَرَجَعَتْ حَتَّى الْتَأَمَتْ بِشِقِّهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص تُسْلِمُ فَقَالَ رُكَانَةُ أَكْرَهُ أَنْ تَتَحَدَّثَ نِسَاءُ مَدِينَةَ أَنِّي إِنَّمَا أَجَبْتُكَ لِرُعْبٍ دَخَلَ فِي قَلْبِي مِنْكَ وَ لَكِنْ فَاخْتَرْ غَنَمَكَ فَقَالَ ص لَيْسَ لِي حَاجَةٌ إِلَى غَنَمِكَ إِذَا أَبَيْتَ أَنْ تُسْلِمَ‏

The Prophet^-saww said to him: ‘Allah^-azwj is a Witness that if I^-saww were to supplicate to my^-saww Lord^-azwj ordering it to return, you will answer me what I^-saww am inviting you to?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He^-saww ordered it and it returned until it was complete with its structure. The Prophet^-saww said to him: ‘Will you become a Muslim?’ Rakanah said, ‘I don’t like it that the women of Medina would narrate that rather I answered you^-saww due to the awe entering in my heart from you^-saww, but you^-saww choose your^-saww sheep’. He^-saww said: ‘There is no need for me^-saww regarding your sheep when you refuse to become a Muslim’’.[17]

‘Qasas Al-Anbiya^-as’ – Al-Sadouq, from Abdullah Bin Hamid, from Muhammad bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad bin Mansour, from Amro Bin Yunus, from Ikramah Bin Amar, from Is’haq Bin Abdullah, from Anas (fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww used to leave his^-saww back to a trunk of a palm tree which was in the Masjid, on the Day of Friday and address the people. Roumy came to him^-saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Shall I make something for you^-saww to sit upon?’ He made a Pulpit for him^-saww having two steps and he^-saww sat upon the third.

فَلَمَّا صَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَارَ الْجِذْعُ كَخُوَارِ الثَّوْرِ فَنَزَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَسَكَتَ‏ فَقَالَ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ أَلْتَزِمْهُ لَمَا زَالَ كَذَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِهَا فَاقْتُلِعَتْ‏ فَدُفِنَتْ تَحْتَ مِنْبَرِهِ‏

When Rasool-Allah^-saww ascended, the trunk made a noise like the noise of the bull. So, Rasool-Allah^-saww descended to it, and it quietened. He^-saww said: ‘By the One^-azwj in Whose Hand is my^-saww soul! If I^-saww had not calmed it, it would not have ceased to be like that up to the Day of Qiyamah’. Then he^-saww instructed that it be uprooted and buried beneath his^-saww Pulpit’’.[19]

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashoub – When the Prophet^-saww came to battle Al-Maqfa’a Bin Al-Hameesa Al-Banhany, there was a large mountain in the road of the Muslims, enormous, the travellers getting tired in it, and the horses paused in it. When the Muslims arrived, they complained of its matter to Rasool-Allah^-saww and what they will be facing in it from the exhaustion and the falling. The Prophet^-saww supplicated with a supplication and the mountain collapsed in the ground and cut into pieces’’.[20]

He^-saww said: ‘Which sign do you want?’ He said, ‘Call that bunch’ – and he^-saww gestured towards a distant palm tree.

He^-saww ordered it, and it returned and settled in its residence’’.[22]

‘From Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww called me^-asws and diverted me^-asws to Yemen in order to effect reconciliation between them. I^-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! They are a lot of people and there is age for them and I^-asws am a young adolescent’. He^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! When you^-asws get to the peak of Aqabah then call out at the top of your^-asws voice: ‘O tree, O mud, O soil! Muhammad^-saww, Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj conveys the greetings to you!’’.

He^-asws said: ‘I^-asws went, and when I^-asws came to the top of Aqabah, I^-asws overlooked upon the people of Al-Yemen, and there they were coming towards me^-asws with their families, brandishing their spears, biting their teeth, engaging their weapons. I^-asws called out at the top of my^-asws voice: ‘O trees, O mud, or soil! Muhammad^-saww Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj conveys the greetings to you!’’

He^-asws said: ‘There did not remain any tree, nor clod of mud, nor soil except they vibrated with one voice: ‘And upon Muhammad^-saww, Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj and upon you^-asws be the greetings!’ The limbs of the people trembled, and their joints shook, and the weapons fell from their hands, and they faced towards their counterparts and reconciled between them and left’’.[23]

Al Faham, from his uncle Umar Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Bin Aasim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Abady, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Amawy, from Ja’far Al Amawy, from Abbas Bin Abdullah, from Sa’ad Bin Zareyf, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata, from Abu Maryam, from Salman who said,

‘We were seated in the presence of the Prophet^-saww when Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws came, and he^-saww gave him^-asws a pebble, so the pebble did not settle in the palm of Ali^-asws until it spoke, and it said, ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj, Muhammad^-saww is a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj.

‘Al Tawheed’ – My father, from Sa’ad, from Ibn Isa, and Ibn Hashim, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Dawood Bin Ali Al Yaqouby, from one of our companions, from Abdul A’ala, a salve of the family of Saam,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘A Jew called Sajat came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said to him^-saww, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! I came to ask you^-saww about your^-saww Lord^-azwj. If you^-saww were to answer me about what I ask you^-saww about, or else I shall return’.

He^-saww said to him: ‘Ask about whatever you so desire to’. He said, ‘Where is your^-saww Lord^-azwj?’ He^-saww said: ‘He^-azwj is in every place, and He^-azwj isn’t in something from the limited places’. He said, ‘How is He^-azwj?’ He^-saww said: ‘And how can I^-saww describe my^-saww Lord^-azwj with the ‘how’ and the ‘how’ is a creation, and Allah^-azwj cannot be described by His^-azwj creation’.

He said, ‘Who knows you^-saww are a Prophet^-saww?’ There did not remain around him any stone, nor clod of mud, nor other than that except it spoke in clear Arabic tongue: ‘O sheykh! He^-saww is Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He said, ‘I swear by Allah^-azwj, I have not seen any day clearer than today’. Then he said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj, and you^-saww are a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’’.[28]

‘Basaair Al Darajaat’ – Ahmad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad Bin Kaleyb, from Muhammad Bin Masma’a, from Salih Bin Hasaam, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Akram Al Ansary, then Al Najary,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww and Sahl Bin Hunayf and Khalid Bin Ayoub Al-Ansary entered an orchard from the orchards of the clan of Al-Najjar. When he^-saww entered, a rock upon the top of a well of theirs called out shouting: ‘Upon you^-saww be the greetings, O Muhammad^-saww! Intercede to your^-saww Lord^-azwj not to Make me to be from the stones of Hell which He^-azwj will be Punishing the Kafirs with’.

The Prophet^-saww raised his^-saww hands and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make this stone to be from the stones of Hell’. Then the sand called out: ‘The greetings be upon you^-saww, O Muhammad^-saww and the Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings. Supplicate to your^-saww Lord^-azwj not to Make me to be from the sulphuric rocks of Hell’. The Prophet^-saww raised his^-saww hands and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make this sand to be from the sulphuric rocks of Hell’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww went near the palm tree, and grabbed the cluster and took from it and ate and fed. Then he^-saww went close to the Ajwa. When it felt him^-saww, it prostrated. Rasool-Allah^-azwj Blessed upon it and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Bless upon it and Benefit (others) by it’. Thus, from then the general Muslims reported that the truffles are from the Manna, and its water is a healing for the eyes, and the Ajwa (dates) are from Paradise’’.[30]

It is reported that he^-saww passed by some thick thorns with inter-twined branches, firm roots. He^-saww called it and it came dragging the ground to him^-saww willingly. Then he^-saww permitted it, so it returned to its place, so which sign is more explanatory and clearer than a dead thing to come willingly to his^-saww orders, coming and going’’.[31]

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashoub, ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that during the expedition to Al-Ta’if, the Prophet^-saww passed through a large number of thorn trees. He^-saww was walking while drowsy when a lote tree came in his way. The lote tree split apart into two halves for him^-saww, so he^-saww passed between its two halves. The lote tree remained standing, separated into two trunks, up to our time. It was well known in that region and famous there, and its people, as well as others who knew its story, revered it because of him. It was called the ‘Lote Tree of the Prophet^-saww’.

وَ إِذَا انْتَجَعَ الْأَعْرَابُ الْغَيْثَ عَضَدُوا مِنْهُ مَا أَمْكَنَهُمْ وَ عَلَّقُوهُ عَلَى إِبِلِهِمْ وَ أَغْنَامِهِمْ وَ يَقْلَعُونَ شَجَرَ هَذَا الْوَادِي وَ لَا يَنَالُونَ هَذِهِ السِّدْرَةَ بِقَطْعٍ وَ لَا شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْمَكْرُوهِ مَعْرِفَةً بِحَالِهَا وَ تَعْظِيماً لِشَأْنِهَا فَصَارَتْ لَهُ آيَةً بَيِّنَةً وَ حُجَّةً بَاقِيَةً هُنَاكَ‏

When the Bedouins went in search of rain and pasture, they would strip whatever leaves they could from the trees and hang them on their camels and sheep. They would uproot the trees of this valley, but they would not cut this lote tree or inflict any harm upon it, because they knew its condition and revered its significance. Thus, it became a clear sign of his^-saww and a lasting proof remaining there’.[32]

33- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ ص كَانَ فِي مَسْجِدِهِ جِذْعٌ كَانَ إِذَا خَطَبَ فَتَعِبَ أَسْنَدَ إِلَيْهِ ظَهْرَهُ فَلَمَّا اتُّخِذَ لَهُ مِنْبَرٌ حَنَّ الْجِذْعُ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَقْبَلَ يَخُدُّ الْأَرْضَ وَ النَّاسُ حَوْلَهُ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْهِ فَالْتَزَمَهُ وَ كَلَّمَهُ فَسَكَنَ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that there he^-saww used to lean with his^-saww back to a trunk which was in his^-saww Masjid when he^-saww addressed. When a Pulpit was taken for him^-saww the trunk wailed. He^-saww called it and it came dragging the ground, and the people were around it looking at it. He^-saww comforted it and spoke to it and it calmed down.

ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ عُدْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ وَ هُمْ يَسْمَعُونَ فَمَرَّ حَتَّى صَارَ فِي مَكَانِهِ فَازْدَادَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَقِيناً

It is reported that he^-saww ended up to two palm trees, and there was space from the ground between the two. He^-saww said: ‘Attach!’, and his^-saww companions were present. They both came dragging the ground until they attached’’.[34]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that a group of Arabs gathered by an idol of theirs, and it surprised them by a voice from its interior calling out to them in eloquent speech: ‘Muhammad^-saww has come to you calling you to the Truth!’ They fled in panic, and that is when he^-saww was Sent.

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that he^-saww was upon mount Hira and the mountain shook, so the Prophet^-saww said: ‘Calm down, for there is none upon you except a Prophet^-as or a successor^-asws and with him^-saww was Ali^-asws’’.[36]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that he^-saww left at night from the evening, and a lightning illuminated for him^-saww and he^-saww looked at Qatadah Bin Al-Numan, and he^-saww recognised it, and it was a rainy day’. He said, ‘O Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj! I would love to pray salat with you^-saww’. He^-as gave him a palm branch and said: ‘Take this for it will illuminate for you^-saww in front of you. When you get to your house, the Satan^-la would be behind you, then look to the corner on your left when you enter and pick up your sword’.

I entered and looked where Rasool-Allah^-saww had said, and there I was with a black snake, and I struck it with my sword. My wife said, ‘What is what you did?’ And in it are two miracles – one of them being the illumination of the palm branch without there being a fire made to be in its top, and the second being his^-saww informing him about the shield upon what happened’’.[37]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that Jibraeel^-as came to him^-saww and saw him^-saww grieving. He^-as said: ‘What is the matter with you^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘The Kafirs did such and such with me^-saww’. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘Would you^-saww like me^-as to show you^-saww a sign?’ He^-saww said: ‘Yes’.

Rasool-Allah^-saww looked at a tree behind the valley. He^-as said: ‘Call that tree’. The Prophet^-saww called it, and it came until it stood in front of him^-saww. He^-as said: ‘Order it to return’. He^-saww ordered it, and it returned. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘It suffices me^-saww’’.[38]

He^-saww said: ‘Shall I^-saww point you to good?’ He said, ‘What is it?’ He^-saww said: ‘Testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj and that Muhammad^-saww is a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’. The Bedouin said, ‘Is there a witness?’ He^-saww said:’ This tree’.

The Prophet^-as called it, and it came dragging the ground and stood in front of him^-saww. He^-azwj told it to testify and it testified just as he^-saww said, and he^-saww ordered it, and it returned to its original place, and the Bedouin returned to his people, and he had become a Muslim. He said, ‘If they follow me, I shall come with them to you^-saww, or else I shall return to you^-saww and will be with you^-saww’’.[39]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that a Bedouin came to the Prophet^-saww and said, ‘Is there any sign regarding what you^-saww are calling to?’ He^-saww said: ‘Yes, go to that tree and say to it, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww is calling you’. It leaned on its right and its left and in front of it and fell its leaves, then it came dragging the ground until it paused in front of Rasool-Allah^-saww.

He said, ‘Order it to return’. He^-saww ordered it and it returned to its original place. The Bedouin said, ‘Will you^-saww permit me to do Sajdah to you^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘If I^-saww were to instruct anyone to do Sajdah to anyone, I^-saww would instruct the wife to do Sajdah to her husband’. He said, ‘Then permit me to kiss your^-saww hand’. He^-saww permitted him’’.[40]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Jabir who said,

‘The Prophet^-saww did not pass by any street and someone followed him^-saww, except he recognised that he^-saww had travelled it, recognising him^-saww from aroma, and he^-saww did not pass by any stone, nor a tree except it did Sajdah’’.[41]

‘The Prophet^-saww grabbed a handful of pebbles and these glorified in his^-saww hand, then came to be in the hand of Ali^-asws, and glorified in his^-asws hand until we heard the glorification, then these came to be in our hands, but they did not glorify’’.[42]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – Abu Saeed reported that Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Al-Abbas: ‘O Abu Al-Fazl! You and your sons should stay in your house tomorrow for there is a need for me^-saww regarding you.

The threshold of the door and the walls said, ‘Ameen! Ameen![43]

A man came to the Prophet^-saww and said: ‘Show me a sign’. He^-saww said (gestured) by his^-saww hand to the palm tree and it went to the right.

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – And it is reported that a man died, and the diggers did not dig anything. They complained to Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘Our irons are not working in the ground, (it is) as if we are striking the rock’. He^-saww said: ‘And why (is that so), if your companions was of good manners? Come to me^-saww with a cup of water’, and he^-saww inserted his^-saww hand in it, then sprinkled it upon the ground with a sprinkle.

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws that Rasool-Allah^-saww went out in a military expedition. When he^-saww left to return, he^-saww descended on one of the roads. While Rasool-Allah^-saww was feeding and the people were with him^-saww, Jibraeel^-as came to him^-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Arise and ride!’ The Prophet^-saww got up and rode and Jibraeel^-as was with him^-saww. The ground was folded for him^-saww like the folding of the cloth until he^-saww ended up to Fadak.

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ أَهْلُ فَدَكَ وَقْعَ الْخَيْلِ ظَنُّوا أَنَّ عَدُوَّهُمْ قَدْ جَاءَهُمْ فَغَلَّقُوا أَبْوَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ دَفَعُوا الْمَفَاتِيحَ إِلَى عَجُوزٍ لَهُمْ فِي بَيْتٍ لَهُمْ خَارِجٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ لَحِقُوا بِرُءُوسِ الْجِبَالِ فَأَتَى جَبْرَئِيلُ الْعَجُوزَ حَتَّى أَخَذَ الْمَفَاتِيحَ‏ ثُمَّ فَتَحَ أَبْوَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ دَارَ النَّبِيُّ فِي بُيُوتِهَا وَ قُرَاهَا فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذَا مَا خَصَّكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ‏ أَعْطَاكَهُ دُونَ النَّاسِ

When the people of Fadak heard the galloping of the horses, they though that their enemies had come to them. They locked the doors of the city and handed over the keys to an old man of their in a house of theirs outside from the city, and they met up at the top of the mountain. Jibraeel^-as came to the old man until he^-as took the keys. Then he^-saww opened the doors of the city, and the Prophet^-saww circled its houses and its villages. Jibraeel^-as said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! This is what Allah^-azwj has Particularised you^-saww with and Gave it you^-saww besides the people’.

وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ‏ ما أَفاءَ اللَّهُ عَلى‏ رَسُولِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقُرى‏ فَلِلَّهِ وَ لِلرَّسُولِ وَ لِذِي الْقُرْبى‏ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ‏ فَما أَوْجَفْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ خَيْلٍ وَ لا رِكابٍ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ يُسَلِّطُ رُسُلَهُ عَلى‏ مَنْ يَشاءُ

And it is His^-azwj Word: Whatever Allah Bestows upon His Rasool from the people of the towns, so it is for Allah and His Rasool, and for the near of kin, [59:7]; and that is His^-azwj Word: And whatever Allah Awarded unto His Rasool from them, so (it is) what you (Muslims) did not make an expedition upon it, neither by horses nor camels, but Allah Empowers His Rasool upon ones He so desires to [59:6]. 

وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ لَمْ يَطَئُوهَا وَ لَكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَفَاءَهَا عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ طَوَّفَ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ فِي دُورِهَا وَ حِيطَانِهَا وَ غَلَّقَ الْبَابَ وَ دَفَعَ الْمَفَاتِيحَ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي غِلَافِ سَيْفِهِ وَ هُوَ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالرَّحْلِ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ وَ طُوِيَتْ لَهُ الْأَرْضُ كَطَيِّ الثَّوْبِ

And the Muslims did not (even) recognise it and did not tread it, but Allah^-azwj Bestowed it upon His^-azwj Rasool^-saww and Jibraeel^-as circled with it among its houses and its orchards, and locked the doors and handed over the keys to him^-saww. Rasool-Allah^-saww made these to be in the sheath of his^-saww sword and hung it with the horse. Then he^-saww rode and the ground was folded for him^-saww like the folding of the cloth.

ثُمَّ أَتَاهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُمْ عَلَى مَجَالِسِهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقُوا وَ لَمْ يَبْرَحُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَدِ انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى فَدَكَ وَ إِنِّي قَدْ أَفَاءَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ فَغَمَزَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَذِهِ مَفَاتِيحُ فَدَكَ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ غِلَافِ سَيْفِهِ

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww came to them and they were at their gatherings and had not dispersed and gone away. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘I^-saww had ended up to Fadak and Allah^-azwj has Bestowed it to me^-saww’. The hypocrites winked at each other, so Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘These here are the keys of Fadak’. Then he^-saww brought these out from the sheath of his^-saww sword.

ثُمَّ رَكِبَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ رَكِبَ مَعَهُ النَّاسُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَى فَاطِمَةَ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَفَاءَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ بِفَدَكَ وَ اخْتَصَّهُ بِهَا فَهِيَ لَهُ خَاصَّةً دُونَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَفْعَلُ بِهَا مَا أَشَاءُ وَ إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ لِأُمِّكِ خَدِيجَةَ عَلَى أَبِيكِ مَهْرٌ وَ إِنَّ أَبَاكِ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا لَكِ بِذَلِكِ وَ أَنْحَلْتُكِهَا تَكُونُ لَكِ وَ لِوُلْدِكِ بَعْدَكِ

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww rode, and the people rode with him^-saww. When he^-saww entered Al-Medina, he^-saww went to (Syeda) Fatima^-asws and said: ‘O daughter^-asws! Allah^-azwj has bestowed Fadak to your^-asws father^-saww, and specialised him^-saww with it, so it is for him^-saww in particular besides the Muslims. I^-saww can do with it whatever I^-saww so desire to, and it had been for your^-asws mother^-asws Khadeeja^-asws as a dower upon your^-asws father^-saww, and that your^-asws father^-saww has made it to be for you^-asws with that and legalised it for you^-asws for it to become for you^-asws and for your^-asws children after you^-asws’.

He^-asws said: ‘He^-saww called for a skin and called Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws and said: ‘Write for (Syeda) Fatima^-asws Fadak as being legalised from Rasool-Allah^-saww’. Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws witnessed upon that, and a slave of Rasool-Allah^-saww and Umm Ayman^-as. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Umm Ayman^-as is a woman from the people of Paradise, and the people of Fadak came to the Prophet^-saww and he^-saww agreed with them upon twenty-four thousand Dinars every year’’.[46]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Al-Sadiq^-asws that Rasool-Allah^-saww went to a neighbourhood and distributed wealth therein, and the people went on asking, and he^-saww kept giving until he^-saww had to take shelter to a tree. His^-azwj cloak was taken and his^-saww back was scratched until they took him^-saww away from it and they were asking him^-saww.

فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ رُدُّوا عَلَيَّ بُرْدِي وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدِي عَدَدُ شَجَرِ تِهَامَةَ نَعَماً لَقَسَمْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ ثُمَّ مَا أَلْفَيْتُمُونِي جَبَاناً وَ لَا بَخِيلًا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنَ الْجِعْرَانَةِ فِي ذِي الْقَعْدَةِ

He^-saww said: ‘O you people! Return my cloak to me^-saww! By Allah^-azwj, if there was with me^-saww the number of trees of Tahamah as bounties, I^-saww would have distributed it between you all, then you^-saww would have neither called me^-saww a coward nor stingy’. Then he^-saww went out from the neighbourhood in Zul Qadah’.

قَالَ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ تِلْكَ الشَّجَرَةَ إِلَّا خَضْرَاءَ كَأَنَّمَا يُرَشُّ عَلَيْهِ الْمَاءُ

He^-asws said: ‘That tree was not seen except as green, as if the water had been sprinkled upon it’.

And in another report: ‘Until the tree removed his^-saww cloak and scratched his^-saww back’’.[47]

48- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح‏ مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ ص أَنَّهُ أَخَذَ الْحَصَى فِي كَفِّهِ فَقَالَتْ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – From his^-saww miracles is that he^-saww took the pebbles in his^-saww palm and each one said, ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj, and there is no god except Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj is the Greatest’’.[48]

49- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب عَلْقَمَةُ وَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ كُنَّا نَجْلِسُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ نَسْمَعُ الطَّعَامَ يُسَبِّحُ وَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَأْكُلُ

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashoub – Alqamah and Ibn Masoud: ‘We were seated with the Prophet^-saww and we heard the food glorifying (Allah^-azwj) and Rasool-Allah^-saww ate’’.

وَ أَتَاهُ مُكْرَزٌ الْعَامِرِيُّ وَ سَأَلَهُ آيَةً فَدَعَا بِتِسْعِ حَصَيَاتٍ فَسَبَّحْنَ فِي يَدِهِ

And Makraz Al-Aamiry came and asked him^-saww for a sign, so he^-saww called for nine pebbles and they glorified in his^-saww hand.

وَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ فَوَضَعَهُنَّ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَلَمْ يُسَبِّحْنَ وَ سَكَتْنَ ثُمَّ عَادَ وَ أَخَذَهُنَّ فَسَبَّحْنَ

And in a Hadeeth of Abu Zarr^-ra: ‘And he^-saww placed them on the ground and they did not glorify and were silent, then he^-saww repeated taking them, and they glorified’.

ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَدِمَ مُلُوكُ حَضْرَمَوْتَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالُوا كَيْفَ نَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَ كَفّاً مِنْ حَصًى فَقَالَ هَذَا يَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَسَبَّحَ الْحَصَى فِي يَدِهِ وَ شَهِدَ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ‏

Ibn Abbas said, ‘The kings (rulers) of Hazramaut came to the Prophet^-saww and they said, ‘How can we know that you^-saww are a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj?’ He^-saww grabbed a handful of pebbles and said, ‘These will testify that I^-saww am a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’. The pebbles glorified in his^-saww hand and testified that he^-saww is a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’.

النَّبِيُّ ص قَالَ إِنِّي لَأَعْرِفُ حَجَراً بِمَكَّةَ مَا مَرَرْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا سَلَّمَ عَلَيَّ

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘I^-saww know of a rock at Makkah, I^-saww did not pass by it except it greeted unto me^-saww’.

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَ جَابِرٌ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ وَ زَيْنُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يَخْطُبُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى بَعْضِ الْأَجْذَاعِ فَلَمَّا كَثُرَ النَّاسُ وَ اتَّخَذُوا لَهُ مِنْبَراً وَ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَيْهِ حَنَّ كَمَا تَحِنُّ النَّاقَةُ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ إِلَيْهِ وَ الْتَزَمَهُ كَانَ يَئِنُّ أَنِينَ الصَّبِيِّ الَّذِي يَسْكُتُ

Abu Hureyra and Jabir Al-Ansary and Ibn Abbas and Abayy Bin Kaab, and Zayn Al-Abideen^-asws: ‘The Prophet^-saww used to address in Al-Medina (leaning) to one of the trunks. When the people were a lot and they took a Pulpit for him^-saww and he^-saww transferred to it, it (trunk) wailed just as the she-camel wails. When he^-saww came to it and embraced it, it groaned the groaning of the child which becomes silent’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ فَاحْتَضَنَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ لَوْ لَمْ أَحْتَضِنْهُ لَحَنَّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

And in a report – Rasool-Allah^-saww embraced it and said: ‘If I^-saww had not embraced it, it would have wailed up to the Day of Qiyamah’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ فَدَعَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ص فَأَقْبَلَ يَخُدُّ الْأَرْضَ وَ الْتَزَمَهُ وَ قَالَ عُدْ إِلَى مَكَانِكَ فَمَرَّ كَأَحَدِ الْخَيْلِ

And in a report – The Prophet^-saww called it and it came furrowing the ground and he^-saww embraced it and said: ‘Return to your place’, and it went like one of the horses’.

وَ فِي مُسْنَدِ الْأَنْصَارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ اسْكُنْ اسْكُنْ إِنْ تَشَأْ غَرَسْتُكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْكَ الصَّالِحُونَ وَ إِنْ تَشَأْ أعيدك [أُعِدْكَ‏] كَمَا كُنْتَ رَطْباً فَاخْتَارَ الْآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا

And in Musnad of Al-Ansar, from Ahmad who said, ‘Abayy Bin Ka’ab, ‘The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Calm down! Calm down! If you want I^-saww can plant you in Paradise and the righteous ones would eat from you, and if you want I^-saww can return you to be as you used to be, (with) dates’. It chose the Hereafter over the world’.

وَ فِي سُنَنِ ابْنِ مَاجَةَ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا هُدِمَ الْمَسْجِدُ أَخَذَ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْجِذْعَ الحَنَّانَةَ وَ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى بَلِيَ فَأَكَلَتْهُ الْأَرَضَةُ وَ عَادَ رُفَاتاً

And in the Sunnan of Ibn Maja: When the Masjid was demolished, Abayy Bin Ka’ab took the trunk in sympathy and it was with him in his house until it decayed and the termites ate it and it returned as residue’’.[49]

50- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب تَكْمِلَةُ اللَّطَائِفِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَبْنِي مَسْجِداً فِي الْمَدِينَةِ فَدَعَا شَجَرَةً مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَخَدَّتِ الْأَرْضَ حَتَّى وَقَفَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ نَطَقَتْ بِالشَّهَادَةِ عَلَى نُبُوَّتِهِ

‘Takmalah Al-Taif’ – The Prophet^-saww built a Masjid in Al-Medina and called a three from Makkah, so it furrowed the ground until it paused in front of him^-saww, and spoke with the testimony upon his^-saww Prophet-hood’’.

‏ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَيْلَةً مِنَ الْعِشَاءِ فَأَضَاءَتْ لَهُ بَرْقَةٌ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى قَتَادَةَ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ فَعَرَفَهُ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةً مَطِيرَةً فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَكَ فَأَعْطَاهُ النَّبِيُّ ص عُرْجُوناً وَ قَالَ خُذْ هَذَا تَسْتَضِئُ بِهِ لَيْلَتَكَ الْخَبَرَ

Abu Hureyra said, ‘The Prophet^-saww left at night from the evening and lightning illuminated for him^-saww and he^-saww looked at Qatadah Bin Al-Numan and recognised him. He said, ‘O Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj! It was a rainy night and I loved to pray Salat with you^-saww’. The Prophet^-saww gave him a palm branch and said: ‘Take this to be illuminated by it in this night of yours’ – the Hadeeth’.

وَ أَعْطَى ص عَبْدَ اللَّهِ‏ بْنَ الطُّفَيْلِ الْأَزْدِيَّ نُوراً فِي جَبِينِهِ لِيَدْعُوَ بِهِ قَوْمَهُ فَقَالَ‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ مُثْلَةٌ فَجَعَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي سَوْطِهِ وَ اهْتَدَى بِهِ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ

And he^-saww gave Noor to Abdullah Bin Al-Tufayl Al-Azdy in his forehead for him to call his people. O Rasool-Allah^-saww! This is an example’. Rasool-Allah^-saww made it to be in his whip, and Abu Hureyra guided with it’.

وَ رَوَى أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ الطُّفَيْلَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو نَهَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ عَنْ قُرْبِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَدَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَحَشَا أُذُنَيْهِ بِكُرْسُفٍ لِكَيْلَا يَسْمَعَ صَوْتَهُ فَكَانَ يَسْمَعُ

Abu Hureyra narrated that Tufayl Bin Amr was forbidden by Qureysh from approaching the Prophet^-saww. He entered the mosque and stuffed his ears with cotton so that he would not hear his^-saww voice. Yet he continued to hear him^-saww.

فَأَسْلَمَ وَ قَالَ‏

يُحَذِّرُنِي مُحَمَّدَهَا قُرَيْشٌ‏		وَ مَا أَنَا بِالْهَيُوبِ‏ لَدَى الْخِصَامِ‏
فَقَامَ إِلَى الْمَقَامِ وَ قُمْتُ مِنْهُ‏		بَعِيداً حَيْثُ أَنْجُو مِنْ مَلَامٍ‏
وَ أُسْمِعْتُ الْهُدَى وَ سَمِعْتُ قَوْلًا		كَرِيماً لَيْسَ مِنْ سَجْعِ الْأَنَامِ‏
وَ صَدَّقْتُ الرَّسُولَ وَ هَانَ قَوْمٌ‏		عَلَيَّ رَمَوْهُ بِالْبُهْتِ الْعِظَامِ‏

He became a Muslim and said (a poem), ‘Qureysh warned me against Muhammad^-saww and said, ‘Beware of him^-saww!’ But I am not one who is fearful when faced with an argument. He^-saww stood up and went to the Maqam, and I moved away from it, far away, where I would be safe from blame. I was made to hear guidance, and I heard words noble in nature, not the rhymed speech of ordinary people. I believed in the Messenger^-saww and a people became insignificant to me, when they hurled against him^-saww their tremendous false accusations’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي امْرُؤٌ مُطَاعٌ فِي قَوْمِي فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِي آيَةً تَكُونُ لِي عَوْناً عَلَى مَا أَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ

Then he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I am a person obeyed in my community, so supplicate to Allah^-azwj to Make a sign to be for me which would be an aid for me upon my calling them to Al-Islam!’

فَقَالَ ص اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لَهُ آيَةً

He^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make a sign to be for him!’

فَانْصَرَفَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ إِذْ رَأَى نُوراً فِي طَرَفِ سَوْطِهِ كَالْقِنْدِيلِ فَأَنْشَأَ قَصِيدَةً مِنْهَا

أَ لَا أُبَلِّغُ لَدَيْكَ بَنِي لُوَيٍ‏		عَلَى الشَّنَآنِ وَ الْغَضَبِ الْمَرَدِّ
بِأَنَّ اللَّهَ رَبَّ النَّاسِ فَرْدٌ		تَعَالَى جَدُّهُ‏ عَنْ كُلِّ جَدٍّ
وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدٌ رَسُولٌ‏		دَلِيلُ هُدًى وَ مُوضِحُ كُلِّ رُشْدٍ
رَأَيْتُ لَهُ دَلَائِلَ أَنْبَأَتْنِي‏		بِأَنَّ سَبِيلَهُ يَهْدِي لِقَصْدٍ

He left to go to his people when he saw a light lik a lamp in an end of his whip. He prosed a poem from it, ‘Shall I not convey to you, concerning the sons of Luwayy despite their hatred and their manifest anger that Allah^-azwj, the Lord^-azwj of mankind, is One, Exalted is His^-azwj Glory above every ancestor, and that Muhammad^-saww is a servant and a Messenger, a guide to guidance and one who makes every path of righteousness clear. I have seen signs from him^-saww that informed me that his^-saww path guides toward the right course’.

أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِظُ قَالَ خَطَّ النَّبِيُّ ص عَامَ الْأَحْزَابِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً بَيْنَ كُلِّ عَشْرَةٍ فَكَانَ سَلْمَانُ وَ حُذَيْفَةُ يَقْطَعُونَ نَصِيبَهُمْ فَبَلَغُوا كُدْياً عَجَزُوا عَنْهُ فَذَكَرَ سَلْمَانُ لِلنَّبِيِّ ص ذَلِكَ فَهَبَطَ ص وَ أَخَذَ مِعْوَلَةً وَ ضَرَبَ ثَلَاثَ ضَرَبَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ ضَرْبَةٍ لُمْعَةٌ وَ هُوَ يُكَبِّرُ وَ يُكَبِّرُ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَصْحَابِي هَذَا مَا يُبَلِّغُ اللَّهُ شَرِيعَتِي الْأُفُقَ

He said, ‘The Prophet^-saww drew a line of forty cubits among the general allies, ten between every tribe. Salman^-ra and Huzeyfa^-ra were cutting their share. They reached Kadya and were unable from it. Salman^-ra mentioned that to the Prophet^-saww. He^-saww came down and grabbed his^-saww pickaxe and struck three strikes, there being luminosity in every strike and he^-saww was exclaiming Takbeer, and the people exclaimed Takbeer along with him^-saww. He^-saww said: ‘O my^-saww companions! This is what Allah^-azwj has Made my^-saww Law to reach the horizons’’.

وَ فِي خَبَرٍ بِالْأُولَى الْيَمَنَ وَ بِالثَّانِيَةِ الشَّامَ وَ الْمَغْرِبَ وَ بِالثَّالِثَةِ الْمَشْرِقَ فَنَزَلَ‏ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ‏ الْآيَةَ

And in a Hadeeth – The first is Al-Yemen, and secondly Syria and thirdly the west. It was Revealed: in order to prevail it upon all the Religions, [9:33] – the Verse.

جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْنَا فِي حَفْرِ الْخَنْدَقِ كُدْيَةٌ فَشَكَوْا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَدَعَا بِإِنَاءٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَتَفَلَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ ثُمَّ نَضَحَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْكُدْيَةِ فَعَادَتْ كَالْكُنْدُرِ

Jabir Bin Abdullah: ‘It became very difficult upon the digging the ditch in hard ground. They complained to the Prophet^-saww, and he^-saww called for a container of water and spat in it, then he^-saww supplicated with whatever Allah^-azwj Desired him^-saww to supplicate, then poured the water upon that hard ground, and it became like frankincense’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ عُكَّاشَةَ انْقَطَعَ سَيْفُهُ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ فَنَاوَلَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص خَشَبَةً وَ قَالَ قَاتِلْ بِهَا الْكُفَّارَ فَصَارَتْ سَيْفاً قَاطِعاً يُقَاتِلُ بِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلَ بِهِ طُلَيْحَةَ فِي الرِّدَّةِ وَ أَعْطَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جَحْشٍ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ عَسِيباً مِنْ نَخْلٍ فَرَجَعَ فِي يَدِهِ سَيْفاً

And it is reported that Akashah broke his sword on the day of (battle of) Badr, so Rasool-Allah^-saww gave him a stick and said: ‘Fight the Kafirs with it’. It became a cutting sword. He fought with it until he killed a group of apostates.

وَ رُوِيَ فِي ذِي الْفَقَارِ مِثْلُهُ رِوَايَةً وَ أَعْطَى ص يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ لِأَبِي دُجَانَةَ سَعَفَةَ نَخْلٍ فَصَارَتْ سَيْفاً

And he^-saww gave Abdullah Bin Jahash on the day of (battle of) Ohad a branch from a palm tree, and it became a sword in his hand.

وروي في ذي الفقار مثله رواية وأعطى صلى الله عليه وآله يوم احد لابي دجانة سعفة نخل فصارت سيفا

And there is a similar report regarding Zulfiqar. And he^-saww, on the day of (battle of) Ohad gave a leaf of a palm tree to Abu Dajjanah and it became a sword.

فَأَنْشَأَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ

نَصَرْنَا النَّبِيَّ بِسَعَفِ النَّخِيلِ‏		فَصَارَ الْجَرِيدُ حُسَاماً صَقِيلًا
وَ ذَا عَجَبٌ مِنْ أُمُورِ الْإِلَهِ‏		وَ مِنْ عَجَبِ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ الرَّسُولَا

غَيْرُهُ‏

وَ مَنْ هَزَّ الْجَرِيدَةَ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ‏

رَهِيفَ الْحَدِّ لَمْ يَلْقَ الْفُتُونَا

Abu Dujanah then composed the following verses – ‘We supported the Prophet^-saww with the palm fronds, and the palm branch became a polished, gleaming sword. This is indeed one of the wondrous matters of Allah^-azwj, and among the wonders of Allah^-azwj and then of the Messenger^-saww. Whoever shook the palm branch and it was transformed into a keen, sharp edged sword, did not encounter any defeat’.

وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ ص قَالَ أَعْطِنِي يَا عَلِيُّ كَفّاً مِنَ الْحَصَى فَرَمَاهَا وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ‏ جاءَ الْحَقُّ وَ زَهَقَ الْباطِلُ‏ قَالَ الْكَلْبِيُّ فَجَعَلَ الصَّنَمُ يَنْكَبُّ لِوَجْهِهِ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ وَ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُونَ مَا رَأَيْنَا رَجُلًا أَسْحَرَ مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ

And it is reported that he^-saww said: ‘O Ali^-asws! Give me^-saww a handful of pebbles. He^-azwj threw these and he^-saww was saying: ‘‘The Truth came and the Falsehood vanished, surely the falsehood would always vanish’ [17:81]. Al-Kalby said, ‘The idol went on to fall upon its face when he^-saww said that, and the people of Makkah were saying, ‘We have not seen any more of more sorcery than Muhammad^-saww’’.

أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا أَهْدَى إِلَيْهِ قَوْساً عَلَيْهِ تِمْثَالُ عُقَابٍ فَوَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذْهَبَهُ اللَّهُ

Abu Hureyra, ‘A man gave him^-saww a bow having a statue upon it, as a punishment. He^-saww placed his^-saww hand upon it and Allah^-azwj Removed it’.

وَ كَانَ خَبَّابُ بْنُ الْأَرَتِ‏ فِي سَفَرٍ فَأَتَتْ بُنَيَّتُهُ إِلَى الرَّسُولِ ص وَ شَكَتْ نَفَادَ النَّفَقَةِ فَقَالَ ايتِينِي بِشُوَيَّةٍ لَكُمْ فَمَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى ضَرْعِهَا فَكَانَتْ تَدِرُّ إِلَى انْصِرَافِ خَبَّابٍ‏

And Khabab Bin Al-Arat was in a journey and his daughter came to the Rasool^-saww and complained of depletion of the stipend. He^-saww said: ‘Bring me^-saww a grilled (sheep) of yours’. He^-saww wipes his^-saww hand upon its forearm and it was circling to the departure of Khabab’’.[50]

51- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام قَالَ عَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ إِنِّي قَصَدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص يَوْماً وَ أَنَا فِيهِ شَاكٌّ فَقُلْتُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَا سَبِيلَ إِلَى التَّصْدِيقِ بِكَ مَعَ اسْتِيلَاءِ الشَّكِّ فِيكَ عَلَى قَلْبِي فَهَلْ مِنْ دَلَالَةٍ

‘Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari^-asws) – Ammar Bin Yasser^-ra said, ‘I^-ra aimed to the Prophet^-saww one day and I^-ra was in doubt regarding him^-saww. I^-ra said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! There is no way for the verification with you^-saww – along with the seizure of the doubt upon my heart regarding you^-saww. Is there anything from the evidence?’

قَالَ بَلَى قُلْتُ مَا هِيَ قَالَ إِذَا رَجَعْتَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِكَ فَسَلْ عَنِّي مَا لَقِيتَ مِنَ الْأَحْجَارِ وَ الْأَشْجَارِ تُصَدِّقُنِي بِرِسَالَتِي وَ تَشْهَدُ عِنْدَكَ بِنُبُوَّتِي

He^-saww said: ‘Yes’. I^-ra said, ‘What is it?’ He^-saww said: ‘When you^-ra return to your^-ra house, then ask about me^-saww whatever you meet – from the rocks and the trees – to ratify me^-saww with my^-saww Message, and to testify in your^-ra presence with my^-saww Prophet-hood’.

فَرَجَعْتُ فَمَا مِنْ حَجَرٍ لَقِيتُهُ وَ لَا شَجَرٍ رَأَيْتُهُ إِلَّا سَأَلْتُهُ‏ يَا أَيُّهَا الْحَجَرُ وَ يَا أَيُّهَا الشَّجَرُ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً يَدَّعِي شَهَادَتَكَ بِنُبُوَّتِهِ وَ تَصْدِيقَكَ لَهُ بِرِسَالَتِهِ فَبِمَا ذَا تَشْهَدُ لَهُ

I^-ra returned and there was none from a rock which I^-ra faced, nor a tree which I^-ra saw, except I^-ra called out at it, ‘O you rock! O you tree! Muhammad^-saww is claiming that you would testify with his^-saww Prophet-hood, and ratify for him^-saww with his^-saww Message. So, what is it that you testify for him^-saww?’

فَنَطَقَ‏ الْحَجَرُ وَ الشَّجَرُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ رَبِّنَا

The rock and the tree spoke, ‘I testify that Muhammad^-saww is a Rasool^-saww of our Lord^-azwj!’’.[51]

52- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام‏ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ لَهُ كَيْفَ تَجِدُ قَلْبَكَ لِإِخْوَانِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُوَافِقِينَ لَكَ فِي مَحَبَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَدَاوَةِ أَعْدَائِهِمَا قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَرَاهُمْ كَنَفْسِي يُؤْلِمُنِي مَا يُؤْلِمُهُمْ وَ يَسُرُّنِي مَا يَسُرُّهُمْ وَ يُهِمُّنِي مَا يُهِمُّهُمْ

‘Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari^-asws) – (A Momin had come over to Rasool-Allah^-saww, so) he^-saww said: ‘How do you find you heart towards your Momineen brethren – the ones in harmony to you regarding their (Muhammad^-saww and Ali^-asws’s) love and enmity to their^-asws enemies?’ He said, ‘I see them like my own self. It pains me what pains them, and cheers me what cheers them, and grieves me what worries them’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَأَنْتَ إِذاً وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ لَا تُبَالِ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ يُوَفَّرُ عَلَيْكَ مَا ذَكَرْتَ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ لَهُ رِبْحٌ كَرِبْحِكَ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِكَ فَلْيَكُنْ لَكَ مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَلًا مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ فَافْرَحْ بِهِ وَ بَدَلًا مِنَ الْوَلَدِ وَ الْعِيَالِ‏ فَأَبْشِرْ بِهِ فَإِنَّكَ مِنْ أَغْنَى الْأَغْنِيَاءِ وَ أَحْيِ أَوْقَاتِكَ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِهِمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘You, when you are a friend of Allah^-azwj, you should not mind, for you are such that there has been provided upon you (for) what you mentioned, what no one from the creatures of Allah^-azwj knows of – for it being a profit like your profit, except for the one who was upon a situation similar to yours, thus it would become for you what you are upon, in replacement from the wealth – so be happy with it –  and a replacement from the children and the dependents, so receive glad tidings with it, for you are from the richest of the rich ones; and revive your times with the Salawat upon Muhammad^-saww and Ali^-asws, and their^-asws goodly Progeny^-asws’.

فَفَرِحَ الرَّجُلُ وَ جَعَلَ يَقُولُهَا

The man was happy, and he went on saying it (Salawat).

فَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي هَقَاقِمَ وَ قَدْ رَآهُ يَا فُلَانُ قَدْ زَوَّدَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ الْجُوعَ وَ الْعَطَشَ وَ قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الشُّرُورِ قَدْ زَوَّدَكَ مُحَمَّدٌ الْأَمَانِيَ الْبَاطِلَةَ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَا يَقُولُهَا وَ لَا يَحْلَى بِطَائِلٍ

Ibn Abu Haqaqim said, and he had seen him, ‘O so and so! (It looks like) Muhammad^-saww has provided you for the hunger and the thirst’. And Abu Al-Sharour said to him, ‘(It looks like Muhammad^-saww has provided you with false hopes. However, frequently you say it (the Salawat), it would still not come with any riches’.

وَ قَدْ حَضَرَ الرَّجُلُ السُّوقَ فِي غَدٍ وَ قَدْ حَضَرَاهُ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا لِلْآخَرِ هَلُمَّ نَطْنِزُ بِهَذَا الْمَغْرُورِ بِمُحَمَّدٍ

And the man attended the market in the morning, and they were (also) present. One of them said to the other, ‘Come, we shall look at this one priding with Muhammad^-saww.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الشُّرُورِ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قَدِ اتَّجَرَ النَّاسُ الْيَوْمَ وَ رَبِحُوا فَمَا ذَا كَانَتْ تِجَارَتُكَ قَالَ الرَّجُلُ كُنْتُ مِنَ النَّظَّارَةِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي مَا أَشْتَرِي وَ لَا مَا أَبِيعُ وَ لَكِنِّي كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ آلِهِمَا الطَّيِّبِينَ

Abu Al-Sharour said to him, ‘O servant of Allah^-azwj! The people (traders) has already traded today and profited, so what is that which you were trading?’ The man said, ‘I was from the beholders and there did not happen to be for me what I could buy (with) nor (anything) what I could sell. But, I was sending Salawat upon Muhammad^-saww and Ali^-asws, and their^-asws goodly Progeny^-asws’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الشُّرُورِ قَدْ رَبِحْتَ الْخَيْبَةَ وَ اكْتَسَبْتَ الْحِرْمَانَ وَ سَبَقَكَ‏ إِلَى مَنْزِلِكَ مَائِدَةُ الْجُوعِ عَلَيْهَا طَعَامٌ مِنَ الْمُنَى وَ إِدَامٌ وَ أَلْوَانٌ مِنْ أَطْعِمَةِ الْخَيْبَةِ الَّتِي تَتَّخِذُهَا لَكَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ الَّذِينَ يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِالْخَيْبَةِ وَ الْجُوعِ وَ الْعَطَشِ وَ الْعُرْيِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ

Abu Al- Sharour said to him, ‘You have profited the disappointment, and earned the rags and the deprivation, and there has preceded to your house, the meal of the hunger – upon it being the food and sauce of the wishful thinking – and the varieties of the disappointments which the Angels have taken it for you – which they would be descending upon the companions of Muhammad^-saww with the disappointment – and the hunger, and the thirst, and the bareness, and the disgrace’.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ كَلَّا وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ فَمِنَ الْمُحِقِّينَ السَّعِيدِينَ سَيُوَفِّرُ اللَّهُ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ بِمَا يَشَاءُ مِنْ سَعَةٍ يَكُونُ بِهَا مُتَفَضِّلًا وَ مِنْ ضِيقٍ‏ يَكُونُ بِهِ عَادِلًا وَ مُحْسِناً لِلنَّظَرِ لَهُ وَ أَفْضَلُهُمْ عِنْدَهُ أَحْسَنُهُمْ تَسْلِيماً لِحُكْمِهِ

The man said, ‘Never! By Allah^-azwj, Muhammad^-saww is a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj, and the one who believes in him, he would be from the truly fortunate ones. Allah^-azwj would be Bestowing upon the one who believes in him^-saww with whatever He^-azwj so Desires to – from the Expansion (of livelihood) for him to be a merit with him, and from constriction (of livelihood) so he can become a just and favouring (person) for Considering him; and the most superior in His^-azwj Presence is the one most excellent in submission to His^-azwj Judgment’.

فَلَمْ يَلْبَثِ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ مَرَّ بِهِمْ رَجُلٌ بِيَدِهِ سَمَكَةٌ قَدْ أَرَاحَتْ‏ فَقَالَ أَبُو الشُّرُورِ وَ هُوَ يَطْنِزُ بِعْ هَذِهِ السَّمَكَةَ مِنْ صَاحِبِنَا هَذَا يَعْنِي صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

It was not long with the man before a man passed by them, and in his hand was a fish which had gone off. Abu Sharour said, and he was looking, ‘Sell this fish to this companion of ours’ – meaning, companion of Rasool-Allah^-saww.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ اشْتَرِهَا مِنِّي فَقَدْ بَارَتْ‏ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ لَا شَيْ‏ءَ مَعِي

The man said, ‘Buy it from me, for it has gone off upon me’. He said, ‘I have nothing with me’.

فَقَالَ أَبُو الشُّرُورِ اشْتَرِهَا لَيُؤَدِّي ثَمَنَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ يَطْنِزُ أَ لَسْتَ تَثِقُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَ فَلَا تَنْبَسِطُ إِلَيْهِ فِي هَذَا الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ بِعْنِيهَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ قَدْ بِعْتُكَهَا بِدَانِقَيْنِ فَاشْتَرَاهَا بِدَانِقَيْنِ عَلَى أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ فَبَعَثَ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

Abu Al-Sharour said, ‘Buy it! Rasool-Allah^-saww would pay its price’ – and he was mocking – ‘Aren’t you trusting Rasool-Allah^-saww? Will he^-saww not extend to him this amount?’ He said, ‘Yes, exactly’. So the man said, ‘I will sell it for a ‘Daniq’ (a sixth of a Dirham), but (although) I had bought it with two ‘Daniqs’, upon (a stipulation) that he makes it to be upon Rasool-Allah^-saww’.

فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أُسَامَةَ أَنْ يُعْطِيَهُ دِرْهَماً فَجَاءَ الرَّجُلُ فَرِحاً مَسْرُوراً بِالدِّرْهَمِ وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ أَضْعَافُ قِيمَةِ سَمَكَتِي

He went with him to Rasool-Allah^-saww, and Rasool-Allah^-saww ordered Asama Bin Haris to give him a (full) Dirham. The man went away happy, joyful with the Dirham, and said, ‘It is more than the price of my fish’.

فَشَقَّهَا الرَّجُلُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ‏ فَوَجَدَ فِيهَا جَوْهَرَتَيْنِ نَفِيسَتَيْنِ قُوِّمَتَا مِائَتَيْ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَعَظُمَ ذَلِكَ‏ عَلَى أَبِي الشُّرُورِ وَ ابْنِ أَبِي هَقَاقِمَ فَتَبِعَا الرَّجُلَ صَاحِبَ السَّمَكَةِ فَقَالا أَ لَمْ تَرَ الْجَوْهَرَتَيْنِ إِنَّمَا بِعْتَهُ السَّمَكَةَ لَا مَا فِي جَوْفِهَا فَخُذْهُمَا مِنْهُ

Then the man cut the fish in front of them, and he found therein two precious jewels – their value being two hundred thousand Dirhams. That was grievous upon Abu Al-Sharour and Ibn Abu Haqaqim, and they both sprinted to the man who was the owner of the fish and said to him, ‘Did you not see the two jewels? But rather you sold him the fish, not what was inside it. Go and take it back from him!’

فَتَنَاوَلَهُمَا الرَّجُلُ مِنَ الْمُشْتَرِي فَأَخَذَ إِحْدَاهَا بِيَمِينِهِ وَ الْأُخْرَى بِشِمَالِهِ فَحَوَّلَهُمَا اللَّهُ عَقْرَبَتَيْنِ‏ لَدَغَتَاهُ فَتَأَوَّهَ وَ صَاحَ وَ رَمَى بِهِمَا مِنْ يَدِهِ فَقَالا مَا أَعْجَبَ سِحْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ

The man grabbed it (back) from the buyer, and took one of them in his right hand and the other one in his left, and Allah^-azwj Converted the two (jewels) into two scorpions to sting him, and he wailed and shrieked and threw the two (jewels) from his hand, and he said, ‘How strange is the sorcery of Muhammad^-saww!’

ثُمَّ أَعَادَ الرَّجُلُ نَظَرَهُ إِلَى بَطْنِ السَّمَكَةِ فَإِذَا جَوْهَرَتَانِ أُخْرَيَانِ فَأَخَذَهُمَا فَقَالَ لِصَاحِبِ السَّمَكَةِ خُذْهُمَا فَهُمَا لَكَ أَيْضاً فَذَهَبَ يَأْخُذُهُمَا فَتَحَوَّلَتَا حَيَّتَيْنِ وَ وَثَبَتَا عَلَيْهِ وَ لَسَعَتَاهُ فَصَاحَ وَ تَأَوَّهَ وَ صَرَخَ وَ قَالَ لِلرَّجُلِ خُذْهُمَا عَنِّي

Then the man returned looking at the belly of the fish, and there were two other jewels. So, he took them and said to the owner (seller) of the fish, ‘Take them, for these two are for you as well’. He went to take them, but they converted into two snakes, and they both leapt upon him and to attack him, and he shrieked and wailed and shouted and said to the man, ‘Take them both away from me!’

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ هُمَا لَكَ عَلَى مَا زَعَمْتَ وَ أَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِهِمَا فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ خُذْ وَ اللَّهِ جَعَلْتُهُمَا لَكَ فَتَنَاوَلَهُمَا الرَّجُلُ عَنْهُ‏ وَ خَلَّصَهُ مِنْهُمَا وَ إِذَا هُمَا قَدْ عَادَتَا جَوْهَرَتَيْنِ

The man said, ‘They are yours upon what you claimed, and you are foremost with them’. The man (fish-seller) said, ‘By Allah^-azwj, (you) take, and I make these two to be for you’. The man grabbed them from him and finished him off from them, and they had returned to be two jewels. And he grabbed the two scorpions, and they had returned to be two jewels.

وَ تَنَاوَلَ الْعَقْرَبَتَيْنِ‏ فَعَادَتَا جَوْهَرَتَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَبُو الشُّرُورِ لِأَبِي الدَّوَاهِي أَ مَا تَرَى سِحْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَهَارَتَهُ فِيهِ وَ حَذْقَهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُسْلِمُ يَا عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ أَ وَ سِحْراً تَرَى هَذَا لَئِنْ كَانَ هَذَا سِحْراً فَالْجَنَّةُ وَ النَّارُ أَيْضاً يَكُونَانِ‏ بِالسِّحْرِ فَالْوَيْلُ لَكُمَا فِي مَقَامِكُمَا عَلَى تَكْذِيبِ مَنْ يَسْحَرُ بِمِثْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ

Abu Al-Sharour said to Abu Al-Dawwahy, ‘Did you not see the sorcery of Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww expertise in it, and his^-saww proficiency with it?’ The Muslim man said, ‘O enemy of Allah^-azwj! Or do you see this as sorcery? If this was sorcery, then Paradise and the Fire as well would happen to be with sorcery! Woe be unto both of you with regards to your stance – upon your belying the one who can conjure the like of Paradise and the Fire’.

فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ صَاحِبُ السَّمَكَةِ وَ تَرَكَ الْجَوَاهِرَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ

The man, the owner (seller) of the fish went and left the four jewels with the man.

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِأَبِي الشُّرُورِ وَ أَبِي الدَّوَاهِي يَا وَيْلَكُمَا آمِنَا بِمَنْ آثَارُ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى مَنْ يُؤْمِنُ بِهِ أَ مَا رَأَيْتُمَا الْعَجَبَ‏

The man said to Abu Al-Sharour and to Abu Al-Dawahy, ‘O woe be unto you both! Believe in the one^-saww whom Allah^-azwj has Favoured upon, and upon the one whom believes in him^-saww. Didn’t you both see the wonder?’

ثُمَّ جَاءَ بِالْجَوَاهِرِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ جَاءَهُ تُجَّارٌ غُرَبَاءُ يَتَّجِرُونَ فَاشْتَرَوْهَا مِنْهُ بِأَرْبَعِمِائَةِ أَلْفٍ‏

Then he came over with the four jewels to Rasool-Allah^-saww, and foreign traders came to trade, and they bought these from him for four hundred thousand (Dirhams).

فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ مَا كَانَ أَعْظَمَ بَرَكَةَ الْيَوْمِ‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص هَذَا بِتَوْقِيرِكَ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ تَعْظِيمِكَ‏ عَلِيّاً أَخَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ وَصِيَّهُ وَ هُوَ جَاعِلُ‏ [عَاجِلُ‏] ثَوَابِ اللَّهِ لَكَ وَ رِبْحُ عَمَلِكَ الَّذِي عَمِلْتَهُ أَ فَتُحِبُّ أَنِّي أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى تِجَارَةٍ تَشْغَلُ‏ هَذِهِ الْأَمْوَالَ بِهَا قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

The man said, ‘How great was the Blessing of my market today, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘This is due to your revering Muhammad^-saww, Rasool^-saww of Allah^-saww, and your magnifying Ali^-asws, brother^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww and his^-saww successor^-asws, and it is the current Reward of Allah^-azwj for you, and a profit for your deed which you performed. Would you like it if I^-saww point you upon a trade you can exploit with this wealth?’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’

قَالَ ص اجْعَلْهَا بُذُورَ أَشْجَارِ الْجِنَانِ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَجْعَلُهَا قَالَ وَاسِ مِنْهَا إِخْوَانَكَ‏ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ عَنْكَ فِي رُتَبِ مَحَبَّتِنَا وَ سَاوِ فِيهَا إِخْوَانَكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْمُسَاوِينَ لَكَ فِي مُوَالاتِنَا وَ مُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَائِنَا وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَعْدَائِنَا وَ آثِرْ بِهَا إِخْوَانَكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الْفَاضِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ فِي الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِحَقِّنَا وَ التَّوْقِيرِ لِشَأْنِنَا وَ التَّعْظِيمِ لِأَمْرِنَا وَ مُعَادَاةِ أَعْدَائِنَا لِيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ بَذْرَ شَجَرِ الْجِنَانِ

He^-saww said: ‘Make it to be seeds for the trees of the Gardens (of Paradise)’. He said, ‘How can I make these (to be as such)?’ He^-saww said: ‘Help you Momineen brethren from it, the ones same as you regarding our^-asws Wilayah, and friendship of our^-asws friends and enmity to our^-asws enemies, and prefer your Momineen brethren with it, the ones deficient from you regarding the rank of our^-asws love, and equalise your Momineen brethren during it, the ones more meritorious upon you regarding the recognition of our rights, and the dignity of our^-asws glory, and the reverence to our^-asws matter, and enmity to our^-asws enemies, if order for that to become seeds of the trees of the Gardens.

أَ مَا إِنَّ كُلَّ حَبَّةٍ تُنْفِقُهَا عَلَى إِخْوَانِكَ الَّذِينَ ذَكَرْتُهُمْ لَتُرَبَّى لَكَ حَتَّى تُجْعَلَ كَأَلْفِ ضِعْفِ أَبِي قُبَيْسٍ وَ أَلْفِ ضِعْفِ أُحُدٍ وَ ثَوْرٍ وَ ثَبِيرٍ فَتُبْنَى لَكَ بِهَا قُصُورٌ- فِي الْجَنَّةِ شُرَفُهَا الْيَاقُوتُ وَ قُصُورُ الذَّهَبِ‏ شُرَفُهَا الزَّبَرْجَدُ

But, every grain you spend upon your Momineen brethren – those whom I^-saww mentioned to you – it would be grown for you until it would be made to be like a thousand multiple of (mount) Abu Qubays, and a thousand multiple of (mount) Ohad, and Sawr and Sabeyr, and there would be built for you, due to it, castles embedded with sapphire, and castles of Paradise embedded with the aquamarine’.

فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ وَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ وَ لَمْ أَجِدْ مِثْلَ مَا وَجَدَ هَذَا فَمَا لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَكَ مِنَّا الْحُبُّ الْخَالِصُ وَ الشَّفَاعَةُ النَّافِعَةُ الْمُبَلِّغَةُ أَرْفَعَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى بِمُوَالاتِكَ لَنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَ مُعَادَاتِكَ لِأَعْدَائِنَا

A man stood up and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I am a poor man, and did not find the likes of what this one has found. What is for me?’ Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘For you, from us^-asws is the sincere love, and the beneficial intercession reaching the lofty levels – due to your Wilayah for us^-asws, the People^-asws of the Household, and your enmity towards our^-asws enemies’.[52]

53- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح عم، إعلام الورى‏ مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ ص خَبَرُ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الَّذِي اشْتَهَرَ فِي الْعَرَبِ يَتَقَاوَلُونَ فِيهِ الْأَشْعَارَ وَ يَتَفَاوَضُونَهُ فِي الدِّيَارِ أَنَّهُ تَبِعَهُ وَ هُوَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ طَالِباً لِغِرَّتِهِ لِيَحْظَى‏ بِذَلِكَ عِنْدَ قُرَيْشٍ حَتَّى إِذَا أَمْكَنَتْهُ الْفُرْصَةُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ أَيْقَنَ أَنَّ قَدْ ظَفِرَ بِبُغْيَتِهِ سَاخَتْ قَوَائِمُ فَرَسِهِ حَتَّى تَغَيَّبَتْ بِأَجْمَعِهَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ بِمَوْضِعٍ جَدْبٍ وَ قَاعٍ صَفْصَفٍ‏ فَعَلِمَ أَنَّ الَّذِي أَصَابَهُ أَمْرٌ سَمَاوِيٌّ

From his^-saww miracles is the Hadeeth of Saraqa Bin Ja’sham who became famous among the Arabs, saying the poetry among them, and they were discussing it in the houses. He pursued him^-saww to Al-Medina seeking have a position in the presence of Qureysh until when he thought he was able upon the opportunity regarding himself, and was certain he would win with his deception, the legs of his horse submerged until they disappeared into the ground, and he was in a water-less place, and he was certain that, that which had afflicted him is a heavenly matter.

فَنَادَى يَا مُحَمَّدُ ادْعُ رَبَّكَ يُطْلِقْ لِي فَرَسِي وَ ذِمَّةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيَّ أَنْ لَا أَدُلَّ عَلَيْكَ أَحَداً فَدَعَا لَهُ فَوَثَبَ جَوَادُهُ كَأَنَّهُ أَفْلَتَ مِنْ أُنْشُوطَةٍ وَ كَانَ رَجُلًا دَاهِيَةً وَ عَلِمَ بِمَا رَأَى أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ لَهُ نَبَأٌ فَقَالَ اكْتُبْ لِي أَمَاناً فَكَتَبَ لَهُ فَانْصَرَفَ‏

He called out, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Supplicate to your^-saww Lord^-azwj to free my horse for me, and I take the guarantee to Allah^-azwj that I will not point anyone to you^-saww’. He^-saww supplicated for him and his horse leapt up as if it was fleeing from the loop, and he was a shrewd man and knew what he had seen the it would become news for him. He said, ‘Write out a (guarantee of) safety for me’. He^-saww wrote it for him, and he left’’.[53]

54- عم، إعلام الورى قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ‏ إِنَّ أَبَا جَهْلٍ قَالَ فِي أَمْرِ سُرَاقَةَ أَبْيَاتاً فَأَجَابَهُ سُرَاقَةُ

Muhammad Bin Ishaq said that Abu Jahl composed some verses concerning the affair of Suraqah, and Suraqah replied to him (by a poem), ‘O Abu Hakam, by Al Lat (an idol)! If you had witnessed what happened to my horse, when its legs sank into the ground, you would have been amazed, and you would have had no doubt that Muhammad^-saww is a Prophet and that he^-saww possesses a proof. Who, then, can conceal it? Restrain yourself and keep the people away from him^-saww, for I see that one day the reality of his^-saww affair will become manifest’.[54]

55- عم، إعلام الورى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ دَلَائِلِ النُّبُوَّةِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَافِظِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ‏ الْمُزَنِيِّ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مُوسَى‏ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ‏ أَبِي نُورٍ عَنِ السُّدِّيِ‏ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص بِمَكَّةَ فَخَرَجَ فِي بَعْضِ نَوَاحِيهَا فَمَا اسْتَقْبَلَهُ شَجَرٌ وَ لَا جَبَلٌ إِلَّا قَالَ لَهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ

Ahmad Bin Al Husayn Al Bayhaqi in the book ‘Dalaail Al Nabuwwah’, from Abu Abdullah Al Hafiz, from Ahmad Bin Abdullah Al Mazny, from Yusuf Bin Musa, from Abaad Bin Yaqoub, from Yusuf Bin Abu Noor, from Al Sady, from Abaad Bin Abdullah,

‘From Ali^-asws having said: ‘We were with Rasool-Allah^-saww at Makkah and he^-saww went out in one of its areas, and neither any tree nor mountain faced him^-saww except it said to him^-saww, ‘The greetings be upon you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’’

قَالَ وَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ بُشْرَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ‏ عَنْ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيّاً ع يَقُولُ‏ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي أَدْخُلُ مَعَهُ يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ص الْوَادِيَ فَلَا يَمُرُّ بِحَجَرٍ وَ لَا شَجَرٍ إِلَّا قَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا أَسْمَعُهُ‏

He said, ‘And it was informed to us by Abu Al Husayn Bin Bushran, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Al A’ala, from Yunus Bin Ayaynah, from Ismail Bin Abdul Rahman, from Abaad who said,

‘I heard Ali^-asws saying: ‘I^-asws was seen entering with him^-saww – meaning the Prophet^-saww, the valley, and he^-saww did not pass by a stone, nor a tree except it said, ‘The greetings be upon you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’, and I^-asws heard it’’. [55]

56- كا، الكافي الْعِدَّةُ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ التَّفْلِيسِيِّ عَنِ السَّمَنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَمَصُّ النَّوَى بِفِيهِ وَ يَغْرِسُهُ فَيَطْلُعُ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ

‘Al-Kafi’ – The number, from Al Barqy, from Al Tiflisy, from Al Samandy,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww would like a seed and plant it, and it would emerge that very moment’’.[56]

57- ين، كتاب حسين بن سعيد و النوادر عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَوْماً حُسْنَ الْخُلُقِ فَقَالَ مَاتَ مَوْلًى لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَمَرَ أَنْ يَحْفِرُوا لَهُ فَانْطَلَقُوا فَحَفَرُوا فَعَرَضَتْ لَهُمْ صَخْرَةٌ فِي الْقَبْرِ فَلَمْ يَسْتَطِيعُوا أَنْ يَحْفِرُوا فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ص فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا حَفَرْنَا لِفُلَانٍ فَعَرَضَتْ لَنَا صَخْرَةٌ فَجَعَلْنَا نَضْرِبُ حَتَّى تَثَلَّمَتْ مَعَاوِلُنَا

Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws mentioned good manners one day and said, ‘A slave of Rasool-Allah^-saww died and he^-saww instructed that they dig (a grave) for him. They went and dug, and a rock presented to them in the grave, and they were not able upon digging. They came to the Prophet^-saww and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! We dug for so and so but a rock presented to us, and we went on striking until our pickaxes were blunted’.

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ كَيْفَ وَ قَدْ كَانَ حَسَنَ الْخُلُقِ ارْجِعُوا فَاحْفِرُوا فَرَجَعُوا فَحَفَرُوا فَسَهَّلَ اللَّهُ حَتَّى أَمْكَنَهُمْ دَفْنُهُ‏

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘And how come, and he had been of good manners? Return and dig’. They returned and dug, and Allah^-azwj Eased the enabling of his burial’’.[57]

58- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَعُدُّونَ الْآيَاتِ عَذَاباً وَ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَعُدُّهَا بَرَكَةً عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ص لَقَدْ كُنَّا نَأْكُلُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْمَعُ التَّسْبِيحَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that Abdullah said, ‘You are counting the Verses of Punishment, and we used to count Blessings in the era of the Prophet^-saww. We were eating with the Prophet^-saww and we heard the glorification from the food’’.[58]

59- عم، إعلام الورى نهج، نهج البلاغة قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع‏ فِي خُطْبَتِهِ الْقَاصِعَةِ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ مَعَهُ لَمَّا أَتَاهُ الْمَلَأُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّكَ قَدِ ادَّعَيْتَ عَظِيماً لَمْ يَدَّعِهِ آبَاؤُكَ وَ لَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ وَ نَحْنُ نَسْأَلُكَ أَمْراً إِنْ أَجَبْتَنَا إِلَيْهِ وَ أَرَيْتَنَاهُ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ نَبِيٌّ وَ رَسُولٌ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ عَلِمْنَا أَنَّكَ سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ

‘Ilam Al Wara’, ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ – Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said in the sermon of Al-Qasa’a: ‘And I^-asws was with him^-saww when a group of Qureysh came to him^-saww and said to him^-saww, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! You^-saww have made a mighty claim none of your^-saww forefathers had made nor anyone from your^-saww Household, and we will ask you^-asws about a matter, if you^-saww were to answer us and show us, we will know that you^-saww are a Prophet^-saww and a Rasool^-saww, and if you^-saww do not do so, we will know that you^-saww are a sorcerer, a liar’.

فَقَالَ ص لَهُمْ وَ مَا تَسْأَلُونَ قَالُوا تَدْعُو لَنَا هَذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ حَتَّى تَنْقَلِعَ بِعُرُوقِهَا وَ تَقِفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ فَقَالَ ص‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ فَإِنْ فَعَلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ لَكُمْ أَ تُؤْمِنُونَ وَ تَشْهَدُونَ بِالْحَقِّ قَالُوا نَعَمْ

He^-saww said to them: ‘And what are you asking?’ They said, ‘Call this tree for us until it uproots with its roots and pauses in front of you^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘Allah^-azwj is Able upon all things. If I^-saww were to do that, will you believe and testify with the Truth?’ They said, ‘Yes’.

قَالَ فَإِنِّي سَأُرِيكُمْ مَا تَطْلُبُونَ وَ إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ أَنَّكُمْ لَا تَفِيئُونَ إِلَى خَيْرٍ وَ أَنَّ فِيكُمْ مَنْ يُطْرَحُ فِي الْقَلِيبِ‏ وَ مَنْ يُحَزِّبُ الْأَحْزَابَ

He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww shall show you what you are seeking, and I^-saww know you will not be inclining towards good and that among you is one who will be dropped in the well and one will form the alliances (against me^-saww)’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ص يَا أَيَّتُهَا الشَّجَرَةُ إِنْ كُنْتِ تُؤْمِنِينَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ تَعْلَمِينَ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَانْقَلِعِي بِعُرُوقِكِ حَتَّى تَقِفِي بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ لَانْقَلَعَتْ بِعُرُوقِهَا وَ جَاءَتْ وَ لَهَا دَوِيٌّ شَدِيدٌ وَ قَصْفٌ كَقَصْفِ‏ أَجْنِحَةِ الطَّيْرِ حَتَّى وَقَفَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مُرَفْرِفَةً وَ أَلْقَتْ بِغُصْنِهَا الْأَعْلَى عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ بِبَعْضِ أَغْصَانِهَا عَلَى مَنْكِبِي وَ كُنْتُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ص

Then he^-saww said: ‘O you tree! If you are a believer in Allah^-azwj and the Last day and know that I^-saww am a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj, then uproot with your roots until you pause in front of me^-saww by the Permission of Allah^-azwj’. By the One^-azwj Who Sent him^-saww with the Truth, it uprooted with its roots and came, and there was severe rustling (sounds) for it and flapping like the flapping of the wings of the bird until it paused in front of Rasool-Allah^-saww, attached, and threw its top branches upon the head of Rasool-Allah^-saww and some of its branches upon my^-asws shoulders, and I^-asws was on the right of Rasool-Allah^-saww.

فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ الْقَوْمُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ قَالُوا عُلُوّاً وَ اسْتِكْبَاراً فَمُرْهَا فَلْيَأْتِكَ نِصْفُهَا وَ يَبْقَى نِصْفُهَا فَأَمَرَهَا بِذَلِكَ فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ نِصْفُهَا كَأَعْجَبِ‏ إِقْبَالٍ وَ أَشَدِّهِ دَوِيّاً فَكَادَتْ تَلْتَفُّ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالُوا كُفْراً وَ عُتُوّاً فَمُرْ هَذَا النِّصْفَ فَلْيَرْجِعْ إِلَى نِصْفِهِ كَمَا كَانَ فَأَمَرَهُ ص فَرَجَعَ

When the group looked at that, they said in pride and arrogance, ‘Order half of it to come to you^-saww and half of it to remain (where it is)’. He^-saww ordered it with that, and half of it came to him^-saww in a wonderous manner and severe sound and almost touched Rasool-Allah^-saww. They said in disbelief and transgression, ‘Order this half to return to its half as it used to be. Rasool-Allah^-saww ordered it so, and it returned.

فَقُلْتُ أَنَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِنِّي أَوَّلُ مُؤْمِنٍ بِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ أَقَرَّ بِأَنَّ الشَّجَرَةَ فَعَلَتْ مَا فَعَلَتْ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى تَصْدِيقاً لِنُبُوَّتِكَ‏ وَ إِجْلَالًا لِكَلِمَتِكَ فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ بَلْ سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ‏

I^-asws said: ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj! I^-asws am the first believe in you^-saww O Rasool-Allah^-saww and the first one to acknowledge with that the tree did what it did by the Command of Allah^-azwj the Exalted in ratification of your^-saww Prophet-hood, and reverence to your^-saww speech’.

فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ كُلُّهُمْ بَلْ سَاحِرٌ كَذَّابٌ‏ عَجِيبُ السِّحْرِ خَفِيفٌ فِيهِ وَ هَلْ يُصَدِّقُكَ فِي أَمْرِكَ إِلَّا مِثْلُ هَذَا يَعْنُونَنِي

The group said, all of them, ‘But he^-saww is a sorcerer, a liar! Strange is the sorcery. He^-saww is an expert in it, and would anyone ratify you^-saww regarding your^-saww matter except the like of this one (Ali^-asws)?’ – meaning me^-asws’’.[59]

باب 5 ما ظهر من إعجازه ص في الحيوانات بأنواعها و إخبارها بحقيته و فيه كلام الشاة المسمومة زائدا على ما مر في باب جوامع المعجزات‏

CHAPTER 5 – WHAT APPEARED FROM HIS^-saww MIRACLES REGARDING THE ANIMALS WITH ITS VARIETY AND THEIR INFORMING WITH HIS^-saww REALITY, AND IN IT IS THE TALK OF THE POISONED SHEEP, ADDITIONAL UPON WHAT HAS PASSED IN THE CHAPTER OF THE SUMMARY OF THE MIRACLES

1- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ‏ مَرَّتِ امْرَأَةٌ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ شَدِيدَةُ الْقَوْلِ فِي النَّبِيِّ ص وَ مَعَهَا صَبِيٌّ لَهَا ابْنُ شَهْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ الصَّبِيُّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَأَنْكَرَتِ الْأُمُّ ذَلِكَ مِنِ ابْنِهَا

Muhammad Bin Is’haq – ‘A woman from the Polytheists, severe of the talk regarding the Prophet^-saww, passed by and with her was a two-month old child of hers. The child said, ‘The greetings be upon you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww, Muhammad^-saww Bin Abdullah^-asws’. But the mother denied that from her son.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص يَا غُلَامُ مِنْ أَيْنَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ أَنِّي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَعْلَمَنِي رَبِّي رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ مَنِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ قَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ هَا هُوَ قَائِمٌ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْكَ

The Prophet^-saww said to him: ‘O boy! From where did you know that I^-saww am a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj and I^-saww am Muhammad^-saww Bin Abdullah^-asws?’ He said, ‘My Lord^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and the Trustworthy Spirit’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Who is the Trustworthy Spirit?’ He said, ‘Jibraeel^-as, and here he is standing (hovering) upon your^-saww head looking at you^-saww’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا اسْمُكَ يَا غُلَامُ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْعُزَّى وَ أَنَا كَافِرٌ بِهِ فَسَمِّنِي مَا شِئْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنْتَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ خَدَمِكَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَدَعَا لَهُ

The Prophet^-saww said to him: ‘What is your name, O boy?’ He said, ‘Abdul Uzza, and I am disbeliever with it, so name me whatever you so desire, O Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘You are Abdullah’. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Supplicate to Allah^-azwj to Make me to be from your^-saww servants in Paradise’. He^-saww supplicated for him.

فَقَالَ سَعِدَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِكَ وَ شَقِيَ مَنْ كَفَرَ بِكَ ثُمَّ شَهَقَ شَهْقَةً فَمَاتَ

He said, ‘Fortunate is the one who believes in you^-saww and miserable is the one who disbelievers in you^-saww’. Then he inhaled an inhalation and died.

شِمْرُ بْنُ عَطِيَّةَ أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِصَبِيٍّ قَدْ شَبَّ وَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ قَطُّ فَقَالَ ادْنُ‏ فَدَنَا فَقَالَ مَنْ أَنَا قَالَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

Shimr Bin Atiyah came to the Prophet^-saww with a child who had grey hair and did not speak at all. He^-saww said: ‘Come near’. We went nearer. He^-saww said: ‘Who am I^-saww?’ He (child) said, ‘You^-saww are a Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’.

الْوَاقِدِيُّ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص جَالِسٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ذِئْبٌ فَوَقَفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ص يَعْوِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص هَذَا وَافِدُ السِّبَاعِ إِلَيْكُمْ فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ أَنْ تُفْرِضُوا لَهُ شَيْئاً لَا يَعْدُوهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ وَ إِنْ أَحْبَبْتُمْ تَرَكْتُمُوهُ وَ أَحْرَزْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَمَا أَخَذَ فَهُوَ رِزْقُهُ

Al-Waqidy (Non-Shia), from Al-Muttalib Bin Abdullah, said, ‘While Rasool-Allah^-saww was seated in Al-Medina among his^-saww companions, when a wolf came and paused in front of the Prophet^-saww, howling. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘This is a delegate of the wild animals to you. If you like, you can give it something, not leaving it to others, and if you like, you can leave it and protect yourselves from it. Whatever it takes, it is its sustenance.

فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَطِيبُ أَنْفُسُنَا لَهُ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ فَأَوْمَأَ النَّبِيُّ ص بِأَصَابِعِهِ الثَّلَاثَةِ أَيْ خَالِسْهُمْ‏ فَوَلَّى وَ لَهُ عَسَلَانٌ

They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Our souls are not good with anything for it’. The Prophet^-saww gestured with his^-saww three fingers, i.e. grabbed them and folded and there were two origins for it’.

وَ فِي حِكَايَةِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْمُنْتَشِرِ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ص أَنْ يَدْفَعَ الْحَيَّةَ عَنِ الْوَادِي وَ يَرُدَّ النَّخْلَةَ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ فَخَرَجَ النَّبِيُّ ص فَإِذَا الْحَيَّةُ تُجَرْجِرُ وَ تُكَشْكِشُ كَالْبَعِيرِ الْهَائِجِ وَ تُخُورُ كَمَا يَخُورُ الثَّوْرُ فَلَمَّا نَظَرَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص قَامَتْ وَ سَلَّمَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ وَقَفَ عَلَى النَّخْلَةِ وَ أَمَرَّ يَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي قَدَّرَ فَهَدَى وَ أَمَاتَ وَ أَحْيَا

And in a narrative of Amro Bin Al-Muntashar, he asked the Prophet^-saww to repel from the valley, and he intended the palm tree from his time. The Prophet^-saww went out and there was the snake slithering and squirming like the raging camel, and as severe as the bull. When it looked at the Prophet^-saww, it stood and greeted unto him^-saww, then he^-saww paused by the palm tree and passed his^-saww hand upon it and said: ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj Who is Able and Guides, and Causes to die and live’.

فَصَارَتْ بِطُولِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ أَثْمَرَتْ وَ نَبَعَ الْمَاءُ مِنْ أَصْلِهَا وَ أَكَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَوْماً رُطَباً كَانَ فِي يَمِينِهِ وَ كَانَ يَحْفَظُ النَّوَى فِي يَسَارِهِ فَمَرَّتْ شَاةٌ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهَا بِالنَّوَى فَجَعَلَتْ تَأْكُلُ فِي كَفِّهِ الْيُسْرَى وَ هُوَ يَأْكُلُ بِيَمِينِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ وَ انْصَرَفَ الشَّاةُ

It became as long as the Prophet^-saww and bore fruit and the water sprung from its roots, and the Prophet^-saww dates one day which were in his^-saww right hand and preserved the dates in his^-saww left hand. A sheep passed by and he^-saww gestured towards it with the seed, and it went on to eat in his^-saww left palm and he^-saww was wearing with his^-saww right hand until the sheep was free and left’.

مُعْرِضُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ: أُتِيَ بِصَبِيٍّ فِي خِرْقَةٍ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَوَضَعَهُ فِي كَفِّهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ مَنْ أَنَا يَا صَبِيُّ فَقَالَ أَنْتَ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ صَدَقْتَ يَا مُبَارَكُ فَكُنَّا نُسَمِّيهِ مُبَارَكَ الْيَمَامَةِ

Ma’riz Bin Abdullah, from his father, from his grandfather who said, ‘They came with a baby in a rag to the Prophet^-saww during the Farewell Hajj, and he^-saww placed it in his^-saww palm then said to it: ‘Who am I^-saww, O baby?’ He said, ‘You^-saww are Muhammad^-saww, Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’. He^-saww said: ‘You speak the truth, O Mubarak’. We used to call him ‘Mubarak of Al-Yamama’’.

ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص خَلَعَ خُفَّيْهِ وَقْتَ الْمَسْحِ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَلْبَسَهُمَا تَصَوَّبَ عُقَابٌ مِنَ الْهَوَاءِ وَ سَلَبَهُ وَ حَلَّقَ‏ فِي الْهَوَاءِ ثُمَّ أَرْسَلَهُ فَوَقَعَتْ مِنْ بَيْنِهِ حَيَّةٌ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَنْ يَمْشِي‏ عَلى‏ بَطْنِهِ‏ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَنْ يَمْشِي عَلى‏ رِجْلَيْنِ‏ ثُمَّ نَهَى أَنْ يُلْبَسَ إِلَّا أَنْ يُسْتَبْرَأَ

Ibn Abbas: ‘The Prophet^-saww took off his^-saww shoes at the time of the wiping (Al-Masah for the Salat). When he^-saww wanted to wear them a gust of wind hit him^-saww and he^-saww shaved (his^-saww head) in the air, then sent for it and it fell in front of a snake. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘I^-saww seek Refuge with Allah^-azwj from the evil of the one who walks upon its belly, and from the evil of the one who walks upon two legs’. Then he^-saww prohibited from wearing except what has been cleared (from impurities) ’.[60]

2- عم، إعلام الورى‏ مِنْ مُعْجِزَاتِهِ ص حَدِيثُ الْغَارِ وَ أَنَّهُ ص لَمَّا آوَى إِلَى غَارٍ بِقُرْبِ مَكَّةَ يَعْتَوِرُهُ النُّزَّالُ وَ يَأْوِي إِلَيْهِ الرِّعَاءُ مُتَوَجِّهَةً إِلَى الْهِجْرَةِ فَخَرَجَ الْقَوْمُ فِي طَلَبِهِ فَعَمَّى اللَّهُ أَثَرَهُ‏ وَ هُوَ نُصْبَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ وَ صَدَّهُمْ عَنْهُ وَ أَخَذَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ دُونَهُ وَ هُمْ دُهَاةُ الْعَرَبِ وَ بَعَثَ سُبْحَانَهُ الْعَنْكَبُوتَ فَنَسَجَتْ فِي وَجْهِ النَّبِيِّ ص فَسَتَرَتْهُ وَ آيَسَهُمْ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الطَّلَبِ فِيهِ

‘Ilam Al Wara’ – From his^-saww miracles is the Hadeeth of the cave, and when he^-saww sheltered in a cave near Makkah, the descent was difficult, and the flock (of sheep) sheltered to it, heading to the Emigration. The people went out in seeking him^-saww but Allah^-azwj Hid his^-saww traces and he^-saww was in front of their eyes, and He^-azwj Blocked them from him^-saww, and their sights took to besides him^-saww, and they were the gathering of the Arabs, and the Glorious One Sent the spider. It weaved (a web) in front of the Prophet^-saww and veiled him^-saww and that despaired them from seeking him^-saww.

And regarding that Al Seyyid Al Himeyri said in a poem well-known as ‘Muzahhab’, ‘Until, when they approached the innermost part of his^-saww cave, they found upon it the web spun by the spider, by the handiwork of Allah^-azwj. One group among them said, ‘There is nothing in the cave that a seeker could be seeking, turn away!’ And the King prevented them from him^-saww. Whoever seeks protection from Him^-azwj, his King does not abandon him’.

 

 

وَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ حَمَامَتَيْنِ وَحْشِيَّتَيْنِ فَوَقَعَتَا بِفَمِ الْغَارِ فَأَقْبَلَ فِتْيَانُ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ كُلِّ بَطْنٍ رَجُلٌ بِعِصِيِّهِمْ وَ هَرَاوَاهُمْ‏ وَ سُيُوفِهِمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ بِقَدْرِ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعاً تَعَجَّلَ‏ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ لِيَنْظُرَ مَنْ فِي الْغَارِ فَرَجَعَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالُوا لَهُ مَا لَكَ لَا تَنْظُرُ فِي الْغَارِ فَقَالَ رَأَيْتُ حَمَامَتَيْنِ بِفَمِ الْغَارِ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنْ لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ وَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَا قَالَ فَدَعَا لَهُنَ‏ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ فَرَضَ جَزَاءَهُنَّ فَانْحَدَرْنَ فِي الْحَرَمِ

And Allah^-azwj Sent two doves and two nests and they occurred in the entrance of the cave. The youths of Qureysh came, one man from every family, with their sticks and their bludgeons and their swords until when they were from the Prophet^-saww a measurement of forty cubits, one man from them hastened to look into the cave. He returned to his companions, and they said to him, ‘What is the matter that you did not look in the cave?’ He said, ‘I saw two doves at the entrance of the cave, and I knew that there isn’t anyone in it, and the Prophet^-saww heard what he said. The Prophet^-saww supplicated for them (doves) and imposed a penalty (for its killing in Harram), so they are being left alone (in peace) in the Harram (Sanctuary)’’.[61]

‘Al-Kafi’ – A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, form Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Ibn Al Qadah,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘A Jewish woman poisoned the Prophet^-saww in a forearm (of a sheep), and the Prophet^-saww used to love the forearm and the shoulder, and disliked the hip due to its closeness to the urinating part.[62]

‘Al-Kafi’ – Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Yahya Al Wasity, from one of our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Behind Al-Yemen there is a valley called Barhoot, and there is no permission to be in that valley except for the black (snakes) and the owls from the birds. In that valley is a well called Balhout where the souls of the Polytheists come to feed and be quenched from the water of pus. Behind that valley are a people called Al-Zareeh. When Allah^-azwj the High Sent Muhammad^-saww, one of their cows shouted and struck with its tail. It called out, ‘O children of Al-Zareeh!’ – in an eloquent voice – ‘There has come a man^-saww at Tahaamat, calling to the testimony of ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj’. They said, ‘What has Made Allah^-azwj to Make this cow to speak?’ It called out among them for a second time’.

فَعَزَمُوا عَلَى أَنْ يَبْنُوا سَفِينَةً فَبَنَوْهَا وَ نَزَلَ فِيهَا سَبْعَةٌ مِنْهُمْ وَ حَمَلُوا مِنَ الزَّادِ مَا قَذَفَ اللَّهُ فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ ثُمَّ رَفَعُوا شِرَاعاً وَ سَيَّبُوهَا فِي الْبَحْرِ فَمَا زَالَتْ تَسِيرُ بِهِمْ حَتَّى رَمَتْ بِهِمْ بِجُدَّةَ فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ص فَقَالَ لَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ص أَنْتُمْ أَهْلُ الذَّرِيحِ نَادَى فِيكُمُ الْعِجْلُ قَالُوا نَعَمْ قَالُوا اعْرِضْ عَلَيْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الدِّينَ وَ الْكِتَابَ

They decided to build a ship. They built it and seven of them embarked in it, and they carried as much provisions as Allah^-azwj Struck them in their hearts. Then they raised its sails and floated it in the sea. They did not stop sailing in it until they reached Jeddah. They came to the Prophet^-saww. The Prophet^-saww said to them: ‘You are the people of Al-Zareeh among whom the calf called out?’ They said, ‘Yes. O Rasool Allah^-saww, present to us the Religion and the Book’.

فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الدِّينَ وَ الْكِتَابَ وَ السُّنَنَ وَ الْفَرَائِضَ وَ الشَّرَائِعَ كَمَا جَاءَ مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ ذِكْرُهُ وَ وَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ سَيَّرَهُ مَعَهُمْ فَمَا بَيْنَهُمُ اخْتِلَافٌ حَتَّى السَّاعَةِ

Rasool Allah^-saww presented to them the Religion, and the Book, and the Sunnah, and the Obligation, and the Laws just as it had come from the presence of Allah^-azwj Majestic and Mighty, and made a guardian over them, a man from the Clan of Hashim^-asws who journeyed with them. So, there will be no differences among them until the Hour (Day of Qiyamah)’’.[63]

5 كَنْزُ الْكَرَاجُكِيِّ، رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ ذِئْباً شَدَّ عَلَى غَنَمٍ لِأُهْبَانَ بْنِ أَنَسٍ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهَا شَاةً فَصَاحَ بِهِ فَخَلَّاهَا ثُمَّ نَطَقَ الذِّئْبُ فَقَالَ أَخَذْتَ مِنِّي رِزْقاً رَزَقَنِيهِ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أُهْبَانُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ذِئْبٌ يَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ كَلَامِي أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى التَّوْحِيدِ بِيَثْرِبَ وَ لَا يُجَابُ

(The book) ‘Kanz’ of Al-Karajaky – It is reported that a wolf was severe upon sheep of Ahban Bin Anas and seized a sheep from them. He shouted at it, and it released it. Then the wolf spoke and said, ‘You seized my sustenance from me Allah^-azwj had Graced it’. Ahban said, ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj! A wolf speaks!’ The wolf said, ‘Stranger than my speech is that Muhammad^-saww is calling the people to the Tawheed at Yasrab and is not being answered’.

فَسَاقَ أُهْبَانُ غَنَمَهُ وَ أَتَى إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَأَخْبَرَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص بِمَا رَآهُ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ غَنَمِي طُعْمَةً لِأَصْحَابِكَ فَقَالَ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ غَنَمَكَ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا أَسْرَحُهَا أَبَداً بَعْدَ يَوْمِي هَذَا فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِ وَ بَارِكْ لَهُ طُعْمَتَهُ فَأَخَذَهَا أَهْلُ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ بَيْتٌ إِلَّا نَالَهُ مِنْهَا

Ahban ushered his sheep and came to Medina and informed Rasool-Allah^-saww with what he had seen. He said: ‘These sheep of mine are food for your^-saww companions’. He^-saww said: ‘Hold on to your sheep’. He said, ‘No by Allah^-azwj! I will not send them to pasture ever after this day of mine’. He^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Bless upon him and Bless for him in his food’. The people of Medina took it and there did not remain any house in Medina except it attained from it.[64]

‘Al Amaali’ – Al Mufeed, from Ali Bin Malik Al Nahwy, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Wahid the ascetic, from Ahmad Ibn Abu Jabbar, from Yunus Bin Bakeyr, from Abdul Hameed Bin Bahram, from Shahr Bin Howshab, from Abu Saeed Al Khudry having said,

‘While a man from Aslam was among a flock of his, he was overcome at Bayda’a Zul Huleyfa when the wolf came and snatched a sheep from his flock. The man struggled with it and pelted it with stones until he released his sheep from it’.

قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ الذِّئْبُ حَتَّى أَقْعَى مُسْتَثْفِراً بِذَنَبِهِ مُقَابِلًا لِلرَّجُلِ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ أَ مَا اتَّقَيْتَ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ حُلْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ شَاةٍ رَزَقَنِيهَا اللَّهُ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ تَاللَّهِ مَا سَمِعْتُ كَالْيَوْمِ قَطُّ فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ مِمَّ تَعْجَبُ فَقَالَ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ مُخَاطَبَتِكَ إِيَّايَ فَقَالَ الذِّئْبُ أَعْجَبُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بَيْنَ الْحَرَّتَيْنِ فِي النَّخَلَاتِ يُحَدِّثُ النَّاسَ بِمَا خَلَا وَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِمَا هُوَ آتٍ وَ أَنْتَ هَاهُنَا تَتْبَعُ غَنَمَكَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘The wolf came until to contend facing the man, then said to him, ‘But, you fended off Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic? You barred between me and a sheep Allah^-azwj has Graced?’ The man said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I have not heard like today at all’. The wolf said, ‘Why are you astonished?’ He said, ‘I wonder from your addressing me’. The wolf said, ‘Stranger than that is Rasool-Allah^-saww between Al Hirteyn among the palm trees narrating to the people with what has passed and with what will be coming, and you are over here pursuing your sheep’.

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْلَ الذِّئْبِ سَاقَ غَنَمَهُ يَحُوزُهَا حَتَّى إِذَا أَحَلَّهَا فِنَاءَ قَرْيَةِ الْأَنْصَارِ سَأَلَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَصَادَفَهُ فِي بَيْتِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ فَأَخْبَرَهُ خَبَرَ الذِّئْبِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَدَقْتَ احْضُرِ الْعَشِيَّةَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ قَدِ اجْتَمَعُوا فَأَخْبِرْهُمْ ذَلِكَ

When the man heard the words of the wolf, ushered his sheep withholding them until when he released them in a town of the Helpers. He asked about Rasool-Allah^-saww and met him^-saww in the house of Abu Ayoub and informed him^-saww the news of the wolf. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to him: ‘You speak the truth’. The evening came, and when he^-saww saw the people to have gathered, informed them of that.

فَلَمَّا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الظُّهْرَ وَ اجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ إِلَيْهِ أَخْبَرَهُمُ الْأَسْلَمِيُّ خَبَرَ الذِّئْبِ فَقَالَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَدَقَ صَدَقَ صَدَقَ تِلْكَ الْأَعَاجِيبُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ أَمَا وَ الَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَيُوشِكُ الرَّجُلُ أَنْ يَغِيبَ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ الرَّوْحَةَ أَوِ الْغَدْوَةَ فَيُخْبِرَهُ سَوْطُهُ أَوْ عَصَاهُ أَوْ نَعْلُهُ بِمَا أَحْدَثَ أَهْلُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ‏

When Rasool-Allah^-saww prayed Al-Zohr Salat and the people gathered to him^-saww, Al-Aslamy informed them of the news of the wolf. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘True, true, true! These are wonders in front of the Hour. But by the One^-azwj in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad^-saww! Very soon the man would be absent from his family at Al-Rawha or Al-Ghadwa, and his whip or his stick or his slippers would inform him with what his family had done from after him’’.[65]

‘Al Amaali’ of Al-Sadouq – Ibn Al Mutawakkal, from Al Sa’ad Abady, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Abu Jameela, from Sa’ad Bin Zareyf, from Al Asbagh,

‘From Ali^-asws having said: ‘The Jews came to a woman of theirs called Abdah and they said, ‘O Abdah! You know that Muhammad^-saww has fought the children of Israel and destroyed the Jews, and the chiefs from the children of Israel have acquired this expensive poison to him^-saww, and they will make (a lot of rewards) to be for you if you were to poison him^-saww in this sheep’.

فَعَمَدَتْ عَبْدَةُ إِلَى الشَّاةِ فَشَوَتْهَا ثُمَّ جَمَعَتِ الرُّؤَسَاءَ فِي بَيْتِهَا وَ أَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَتْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا تُوجِبُ لِي مِنْ حَقِّ الْجِوَارِ وَ قَدْ حَضَرَنِي رُؤَسَاءُ الْيَهُودِ فَزَيِّنِّي بِأَصْحَابِكَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَعَهُ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ أَبُو دُجَانَةَ وَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ وَ سَهْلُ بْنُ حُنَيْفٍ وَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ

Abdah deliberated to the sheep and grilled it, then gathered the chiefs in her house, and Rasool-Allah^-saww came. She said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! You^-saww know what obligates upon me from the rights of the neighbours, and the Jewish chiefs had come to me, so adorn me with your^-saww companions’. Rasool-Allah^-saww stood and with him^-saww was Ali^-asws and Abu Dajanah, and Abu Ayoub, and Sahk Bin Huneyf, and a group from the Emigrants.

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا وَ أَخْرَجَتِ الشَّاةَ سَدَّتِ الْيَهُودُ آنَافَهَا بِالصُّوفِ وَ قَامُوا عَلَى أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَ تَوَكَّئُوا عَلَى عِصِيِّهِمْ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اقْعُدُوا فَقَالُوا إِنَّا إِذَا زَارَنَا نَبِيٌّ لَمْ يَقْعُدْ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ وَ كَرِهْنَا أَنْ يَصِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنْفَاسِنَا مَا يَتَأَذَّى بِهِ وَ كَذَبَتِ الْيَهُودُ عَلَيْهَا لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ مَخَافَةَ سَوْرَةِ السَّمِّ وَ دُخَانِهِ

When they entered and she brought the sheep, the Jews blocked their bows with the wool and they stood upon their legs and leaned upon their staffs. Rasool-Allah^-saww said to them: ‘Be seated!’ They said, ‘We, when a Prophet^-saww visits us, not one of us sits, and we dislike that our breaths arrive to him^-saww what he^-saww would be hurt by it’. And the Jews lied, may Allah^-azwj Curse them. But rather, they did that fearing the intensity of the poison and its smoke (vapour).

فَلَمَّا وُضِعَتِ الشَّاةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ تَكَلَّمَ كَتِفُهَا فَقَالَتْ مَهْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَا تَأْكُلْنِي فَإِنِّي مَسْمُومَةٌ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَبْدَةَ فَقَالَ لَهَا مَا حَمَلَكِ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتِ فَقَالَتْ قُلْتُ إِنْ كَانَ نَبِيّاً لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِباً أَوْ سَاحِراً أَرَحْتُ قَوْمِي مِنْهُ

When the sheep was placed in front of him^-saww, its shoulder spoke and said, ‘No, O Muhammad^-saww! Do not eat me, for I am poisoned’. Rasool-Allah^-saww called Abdah and said to her: ‘What carried you upon what you did?’ She said, ‘I said, ‘If he^-saww was a Prophet^-saww, it would not harm him^-saww, and if he^-saww was a liar, or a sorcerer, my people will rest from him^-saww’.

فَهَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَقَالَ السَّلَامُ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُسَمِّيهِ بِهِ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ بِهِ عِزُّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ بِنُورِهِ الَّذِي أَضَاءَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ الَّتِي خَضَعَ لَهَا كُلُ‏ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ انْتَكَسَ كُلُّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ مِنْ شَرِّ السَّمِّ وَ السِّحْرِ وَ اللَّمَمِ بِسْمِ الْعَلِيِ‏ الْمَلِكِ الْفَرْدِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ نُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ما هُوَ شِفاءٌ وَ رَحْمَةٌ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لا يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إِلَّا خَساراً

Jibraeel^-as descended and said: ‘Al-Salaam (Allah^-azwj) Conveys the Salaam (greetings) and is Saying: ‘Say: ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj Who every Momin Names Him^-azwj, and by Him^-azwj every Momin is honoured, and by His^-azwj Noor are illuminated the skies and the earth, and by His^-azwj Power Which every obstinate tyrant is humbled to it, and every apostate Satan^-la is broken, from the evil of the poison, and the sorcery, and the insanity. In the Name of the Exalted, the King, the Individual Who, there is no god except He^-azwj, And We Reveal from the Quran what is a healing and a Mercy for the Momineen, and it does not increase the ones unjust except for the loss [17:82].

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘That (is so)’, and instructed his^-saww companions, and they spoke with it. Then he^-saww said: ‘Eat’, then instructed them, and they were laughing’’.[66]

From Amir Al-Momineen^-asws, similar to it, and there is an increase after his^-asws words, and Sahl Bin Huneyf. And in a Hadeeth, ‘And Salman^-ra, and Al-Miqdad^-ra, and Ammar^-ra, and Saheyb^-ra, and Abu Zarr^-ra, and Bilal^-ra, and Al-Bara’a Bin Marour^-ra.

Then he said after the completion of the Hadeeth, ‘And in a Hadeeth of Al-Bara’a Bin Marour, ‘He took a morsel from it, being the first of the people, and placed it in his mouth, so Amir Al-Momineen^-asws said to him: ‘Do not precede Rasool-Allah^-saww in any speech of his^-saww. This Jewess has come with it, and we do not know her state. If you were to eat with the instruction of Rasool-Allah^-saww then he^-saww will be a guarantor of your safety from it, and when you eat it without his^-saww permission, you are left to yourself’.

فَنَطَقَ الذِّرَاعُ وَ سَقَطَ الْبَرَاءُ وَ مَاتَ

The forearm (of the sheep) spoke and Al-Bara’a fell down and died.

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ الْحَارِثِ زَوْجَةَ سَلَّامِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ الْآكِلُ كَانَ بِشْرَ بْنَ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ مَعْرُورٍ وَ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَتْ أُمُّهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص عِنْدَ وَفَاتِهِ فَقَالَ يَا أُمَّ بِشْرٍ مَا زَالَتْ أُكْلَةُ خَيْبَرَ الَّتِي أَكَلْتُ مَعَ ابْنِكِ تُعَاوِدُنِي فَهَذَا أَوَانُ قَطَعَتْ أَبْهَرِي وَ لِذَلِكَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص مَاتَ شَهِيداً

And it is reported that it was Zaynab Bin Al-Haris, wife of Salam Bin Muslim, and the eater was Bishr Bin Al-Bara’a Marour, and his mother had come to the Prophet^-saww when he died, and he^-saww said: ‘O Umm Bishr! What I^-saww ate at Khyber that which I^-saww ate with your son, has not ceased to hurt me^-saww, and this year, it has broken my^-saww’, and for that reason it is said that the Prophet^-saww died a martyr’.

وَ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص بَقِيَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ سِنِينَ حَتَّى كَانَ وَجَعُهُ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ: وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أَرْبَعَ سِنِينَ

‘We, a group of the companions went out in a military expedition from the expeditions along with Rasool-Allah^-saww until we paused in a complex road. A Bedouin emerged with a halter of a camel until he paused at Rasool-Allah^-saww and said, ‘The greetings be upon you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ عَلَيْكَ السَّلَامُ قَالَ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَهُ أَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ إِلَيْكَ كَيْفَ أَصْبَحْتَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘And upon you be the greeting’. He said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you^-saww! How are you^-saww this morning O Rasool-Allah^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘I praise Allah^-azwj to you how I^-saww am this morning’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘There was a man behind the camel which the Bedouin was guiding. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! This Bedouin stole the camel and hit the camel just now’. And Rasool-Allah^-saww listened to him, listening to its foaming.

قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الرَّجُلِ فَقَالَ انْصَرِفْ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّ الْبَعِيرَ يَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ كَاذِبٌ

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Rasool-Allah^-saww came to the man and said, ‘Leave it, for the camel will testify against you that you are a liar’.

قَالَ فَانْصَرَفَ الرَّجُلُ وَ أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى الْأَعْرَابِيِّ فَقَالَ أَيَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قُلْتَ حِينَ جِئْتَنِي قَالَ قُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى صَلَاةٌ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى بَرَكَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى سَلَامٌ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْ مُحَمَّداً حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى رَحْمَةٌ

He (the narrator) said, ‘The man left, and Rasool-Allah^-saww came to the Bedouin and said, ‘What did you say when you came to me^-saww?’ He said, ‘I said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawat upon Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain any Salawat. O Allah^-azwj! Bless upon Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain any Blessings. O Allah^-azwj!

‘From Al-Sadiq^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws, from Ali^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww passed by an antelope tied to the bottom of the tent. When it was Rasool-Allah^-saww, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Freed its tongue and it spoke to him^-saww. It said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I am a mother of two thirsty cubs, and this mammary is full of milk. Free me until I go and feed them, then I shall return and you^-saww can tie me up just as I was’.

Rasool-Allah^-saww said to it: ‘How can I^-saww (do so) and you are tied up by a people and are their prey?’ It said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I will come and you^-saww can tie me up just as I was, by your^-saww own hands’. He^-saww took a Covenant upon it from Allah^-azwj that it will return, and freed its way. It was not long, except a little while until it returned and it was free from what was in her mammary. The Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj tied it just as it used to be, then he^-saww asked: ‘For who is this prey?’ They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! This is for the clan of so and so’.

فَأَتَاهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ كَانَ الَّذِي اقْتَنَصَهَا مِنْهُمْ مُنَافِقاً فَرَجَعَ عَنْ نِفَاقِهِ وَ حَسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُ فَكَلَّمَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص لِيَشْتَرِيَهَا مِنْهُ قَالَ بَلَى‏ أُخَلِّي سَبِيلَهَا فِدَاكَ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَوْ أَنَّ الْبَهَائِمَ يَعْلَمُونَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ مَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنْتُمْ مَا أَكَلْتُمْ مِنْهَا سَمِيناً

The Prophet^-saww came to them, and the one who had grabbed it was a hypocrite, and he returned from his hypocrisy, and his Islam was good. The Prophet^-saww spoke to him in order to buy it from him. He said, ‘Yes, free its way, may my father and my mother be sacrificed for you^-asws, O Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj!’ The Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj said: ‘If the beasts knew from the death what you all know, you would not eat a fat one from them’’.[69]

‘Qasas Al-Anbiya^-as’ – Al Sadoq, from his father, from Sa’ad, from Al Hassan Bin Musa Al Khashab, from Ali Bin Hasan, from his uncle Abdul Rahman,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘One day Rasool-Allah^-saww was seated when a camel passed by him^-saww and it knelt in front of him^-saww with a kneeling. Umar said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Is this camel doing Sajdah to you^-saww? For, if it is doing Sajdah to you^-saww, then we are more rightful that we do so’.

فَقَالَ لَا بَلِ اسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ إِنَّ هَذَا الْجَمَلَ يَشْكُو أَرْبَابَهُ وَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُمْ أَنْتَجُوهُ صَغِيراً وَ اعْتَمَلُوهُ فَلَمَّا كَبِرَ وَ صَارَ أَعْوَنَ‏ كَبِيراً ضَعِيفاً أَرَادُوا نَحْرَهُ وَ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَداً أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ لَأَمَرْتُ الْمَرْأَةَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ لِزَوْجِهَا

He^-saww said: ‘No, but do Sajdah to Allah^-azwj! This camel is complaining of its owners and claims that they had it since it was small and worked it. When it was old and became one-eyed, aged, weak, they want to slaughter it, and if I^-saww were to order anyone to do Sajdah to anyone, I^-saww would have ordered the wife to do Sajdah to her husband’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ أَنْطَقَهَا اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ص الْجَمَلُ وَ كَلَامُهُ الَّذِي سَمِعْتَ وَ الذِّئْبُ فَجَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ الْجُوعَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَصْحَابَ الْغَنَمِ فَقَالَ افْرُضُوا لِلذِّئْبِ شَيْئاً فَشَحُّوا فَذَهَبَ

Then Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Three from the animals, Allah^-azwj Caused them to speak in the era of the Prophet^-saww – the came and it spoke to him^-saww which you heard, and the wolf came to the Prophet^-saww and complained to him^-saww of the hunger. Rasool-Allah^-saww called the owners of the sheep and said, ‘Give something to the wolf’. They shied away.

ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَيْهِ الثَّانِيَةَ فَشَكَا الْجُوعَ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَشَحُّوا ثُمَّ جَاءَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَشَكَا الْجُوعَ فَدَعَاهُمْ فَشَحُّوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اخْتَلِسْ وَ لَوْ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَرَضَ لِلذِّئْبِ شَيْئاً مَا زَادَ الذِّئْبُ عَلَيْهِ شَيْئاً حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ ‏

It went, then returned to him^-saww secondly and complained of the hunger. He^-saww called them, but they shied away (again). Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Snatch’. And if Rasool-Allah^-saww had obligated something for the wolf, the wolf would not have increased upon it by anything until the establishment of the Hour.

And as for the cow, it sighed with the Prophet^-saww and pointed to him^-saww, and it was among the palm trees of the clan of Salim from the Helpers. It said, ‘O family of Zareeh! A sighing one has sighed in eloquent Arabic that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the world, and Muhammad^-saww is Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj, Chief of the Prophets^-as, and Ali^-asws is his^-saww successor^-asws, is Chief of the successors^-as’’.[70]

‘When Rasool-Allah^-saww came back from the military expedition of Zat Al-Raqa’a, and it is a military expedition (against) the clan of Sa’alba from Ghatfan, until when he^-saww was near to Medina, there was a camel which came to Rasool-Allah^-saww and placed its knees upon the ground then made noises.

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Do you know what this camel is saying?’ They said, ‘Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww are more knowing’. He^-saww said: ‘It informed me that its owner made it work until when it is now old and weak, he intends to slaughter it and sell its meat’.

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Jabir! Go with it to its owner and come with him’. I said, ‘I do not know its owner’. He^-saww said: ‘It will guide you’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى بَنِي وَاقِفٍ فَدَخَلَ فِي زُقَاقٍ فَإِذَا بِمَجْلِسٍ فَقَالُوا يَا جَابِرُ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ كَيْفَ تَرَكْتَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قُلْتُ صَالِحُونَ وَ لَكِنْ أَيُّكُمْ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَنَا فَقُلْتُ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ مَا لِي قُلْتُ اسْتَعْدَى عَلَيْكَ بَعِيرُكَ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I went with it until it ended up at the clan of Waqaf. I entered the alley, and there was a gathering. They said, ‘O Jabir! How come you left Rasool-Allah^-saww? And how can you leave the Muslims?’ I said, ‘You are right, but which one of you is the owner of this camel?’ One of them said, ‘I am’. I said, ‘Answer Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He said, ‘Why me?’ I said, ‘Your camel has prepared (a case) against you’.

He^-saww said: ‘Your camel informed me^-saww that you worked it until when it is now old and weak you want to slaughter it and sell its meat?’ The man said, ‘It has been like that, O Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘Sell it to me^-saww’. He said, ‘But it is for you^-saww (for free) O Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘But sell it to me^-saww’.

Rasool-Allah^-saww bought it, then struck upon its side and left it to pasture in the outskirts of Medina. The man from us, whenever he wanted to go and come, Rasool-Allah^-saww granted it.

ثُمَّ إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ أَسْتَنِدُ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبَحْرِ فَلَمْ يَلْحَقْنِي‏ فَحَمِدْتُ اللَّهَ عَلَى سَلَامَتِي فَبَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَمْشِي إِذْ بَصُرَ بِي أَسَدٌ فَأَقْبَلَ نَحْوِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَفْتَرِسَنِي‏ فَرَفَعْتُ يَدِي إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَ مَوْلَى نَبِيِّكَ نَجَّيْتَنِي مِنَ الْغَرَقِ أَ فَتُسَلِّطُ عَلَيَّ سَبُعَكَ

Then I finally came out and reached the shore of the sea, supporting myself there, and the waves did not catch up with me. I praised Allah^-azwj for my safety. While I was walking, a lion saw me and came toward me, intending to devour me. I raised my hand toward the sky and said, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I am Your^-azwj servant and the freed slave of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww You(s.w.t.) Saved me from drowning, so will You^-azwj now set Your^-azwj beast upon me?’

فَأُلْهِمْتُ أَنْ قُلْتُ أَيُّهَا السَّبُعُ أَنَا سَفِينَةُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ احْفَظْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي مَوْلَاهُ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ لَتَرَكَ الزَّئِيرَ وَ أَقْبَلَ كَالسِّنَّوْرِ يَمْسَحُ خَدَّهُ بِهَذِهِ السَّاقِ مَرَّةً وَ بِهَذِهِ السَّاقِ أُخْرَى وَ هُوَ يَنْظُرُ فِي وَجْهِي مَلِيّاً ثُمَّ طَأْطَأَ ظَهْرَهُ وَ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ ارْكَبْ فَرَكِبْتُ ظَهْرَهُ فَخَرَجَ يَخُبُّ بِي

Then I was inspired to say, ‘O beast, I am Safinah, the freed slave of Rasool-Allah^-saww! Preserve Rasool-Allah^-saww’s right regarding his^-saww freed slave!’ By Allah, it stopped roaring and came toward me like a cat, rubbing its cheek against this leg of mine and then the other, while looking intently at my face. Then it lowered its back and indicated to me that I should mount it. I mounted its back, and it set off, carrying me at a brisk pace.

فَمَا كَانَ بِأَسْرَعَ‏ مِنْ أَنْ هَبَطَ جَزِيرَةً وَ إِذَا فِيهَا مِنَ الشَّجَرِ وَ الثِّمَارِ وَ عَيْنٍ عَذْبَةٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَدَهِشْتُ فَوَقَفَ وَ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ انْزِلْ فَنَزَلْتُ فَبَقِيَ وَاقِفاً حِذَايَ يَنْظُرُ فَأَخَذْتُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الثِّمَارِ وَ أَكَلْتُ وَ شَرِبْتُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ فَرَوِيتُ

It was not long before it brought me down onto an island. There I found trees, fruits and a spring of sweet water. I was astonished. The lion stopped and indicated to me that I should dismount, so I did. It remained standing beside me, watching. I took some of those fruits and ate them, and drank from that water until I was satisfied.

فَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى وَرَقَةٍ فَجَعَلْتُهَا لِي مِئْزَراً وَ اتَّزَرْتُ بِهَا وَ تَلَحَّفْتُ بِأُخْرَى وَ جَعَلْتُ وَرَقَةً شَبِيهاً بِالْمِزْوَدِ فَمَلَأْتُهَا مِنْ تِلْكَ الثِّمَارِ وَ بَلَلْتُ الْخِرْقَةَ الَّتِي كَانَتْ مَعِي لِأَعْصِرَهَا إِذَا احْتَجْتُ إِلَى الْمَاءِ فَأَشْرَبَهُ

Then I took a leaf and made it into a loincloth, wrapping it around myself. I covered myself with another leaf, and made another leaf into something resembling a food pouch. I filled it with some of those fruits. I also soaked the piece of cloth that I had with me so that I could wring it out and drink the water whenever I needed it.

فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ مِمَّا أَرَدْتُ أَقْبَلَ إِلَيَّ فَطَأْطَأَ ظَهْرَهُ ثُمَّ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ ارْكَبْ فَلَمَّا رَكِبْتُ أَقْبَلَ بِي نَحْوَ الْبَحْرِ فِي غَيْرِ الطَّرِيقِ الَّذِي أَقْبَلْتُ مِنْهُ فَلَمَّا جُزْتُ عَلَى الْبَحْرِ إِذَا مَرْكَبٌ سَائِرٌ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَلَوَّحْتُ لَهُمْ فَاجْتَمَعَ أَهْلُ الْمَرْكَبِ يُسَبِّحُونَ وَ يُهَلِّلُونَ وَ يَرَوْنَ رَجُلًا رَاكِباً أَسَداً

When I had finished what I wanted to do, the lion came toward me, lowered its back and indicated to me that I should mount. When I mounted, it carried me toward the sea by a route different from the one by which I had originally come. When I crossed the sea, I saw a vessel travelling upon it. I signalled to them, and the people aboard the vessel gathered together, glorifying Allah^-azwj and proclaiming His^-azwj Oneness, for they saw a man riding a lion.

فَصَاحُوا يَا فَتَى مَنْ أَنْتَ أَ جِنِّيٌّ أَمْ إِنْسِيٌّ

They cried out, ‘O young man, who are you? Are you a jinn or a human being?’

قُلْتُ أَنَا سَفِينَةُ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص رَعَى الْأَسَدُ فِيَّ حَقَ‏ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ مَا تَرَوْنَ

I said, ‘I am Safinah, the freed slave of Rasool-Allah^-saww! The lion has observed the right of Rasool-Allah^-saww regarding me and has done what you see!’

فَلَمَّا سَمِعُوا ذِكْرَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَطُّوا الشِّرَاعَ وَ حَمَلُوا رَجُلَيْنِ فِي قَارِبٍ صَغِيرٍ وَ دَفَعُوا إِلَيْهِمَا ثِيَاباً فَجَاءَا إِلَيَّ وَ نَزَلْتُ مِنَ الْأَسَدِ وَ وَقَفَ نَاحِيَةً مُطْرِقاً يَنْظُرُ مَا أَصْنَعُ فَرَمَيَا إِلَيَّ بِالثِّيَابِ وَ قَالا الْبَسْهَا فَلَبِسْتُهَا

When they heard the mention of Rasool-Allah^-saww, they lowered the sail and sent two men in a small boat. They gave them some clothes, and the two men came to me. I dismounted from the lion, and it stood to one side with its head lowered, watching what I would do. The two men threw the clothes to me and said, ‘Put them on!’ I put them on.

فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا ارْكَبْ ظَهْرِي حَتَّى أَحْمِلَكَ إِلَى الْقَارِبِ‏ أَ يَكُونُ السَّبُعُ أَرْعَى لِحَقِّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ

One of them said, ‘Ride upon my back so that I may carry you to the boat. Will the lion be caring of the right of Rasool-Allah^-saww than his^-saww community member?’

فَأَقْبَلْتُ عَلَى الْأَسَدِ فَقُلْتُ جَزَاكَ اللَّهُ خَيْراً عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى دُمُوعِهِ تَسِيلُ عَلَى خَدِّهِ مَا يَتَحَرَّكُ حَتَّى دَخَلْتُ الْقَارِبَ وَ أَقْبَلَ يَلْتَفِتُ‏ إِلَيَّ سَاعَةً حَتَّى غِبْنَا عَنْهُ‏

I turned toward the lion and said, ‘May Allah^-azwj Reward you with good on behalf of Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ By Allah^-azwj! I saw its tears flowing down its cheeks, and it did not move until I entered the boat. Then it continued looking back toward me from time to time until we disappeared from its sight’. (P.s. – This is not a Hadeeth)[98]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Jabir, from Amar Bin Yasser^-ra who was with Rasool-Allah^-azwj in one of his^-saww military expeditions. He^-ra said: ‘When we went out from Medina, Rasool-Allah^-saww was delayed from us, then came behind us. He^-saww ended up to me, and my camel had stopped and knelt in the road, and I had been left behind from the people by the cause of that. Rasool-Allah^-saww descended from his^-saww ride and grabbed a water-skin and placed it in his^-saww mouth, then sprinkled it upon the camel, and shouted at it. It leapt up as if it was a lizard. He^-saww said: ‘Ride it and travel’.

فَرَكِبْتُهُ وَ سِرْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَتْ نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الْعَضْبَاءُ تَفُوتُهُ‏ فَقَالَ لِي مَا تَبِيعُنِي الْجَمَلَ قُلْتُ هُوَ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا بِثَمَنٍ قُلْتُ تُعْطِي مِنَ الثَّمَنِ مَا شِئْتَ قَالَ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ قُلْتُ قَدْ بِعْتُكَ قَالَ وَ لَكَ ظَهْرُهُ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ

I^-ra rode it and travelled with Rasool-Allah^-saww. By Allah^-azwj! The camel of Rasool-Allah^-saww could not surpass it. He^-saww said to me^-ra: ‘Will you not sell me^-saww the camel?’ I^-ra said, ‘It is for you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘No, except with a price’. I^-ra said, ‘Give me^-ra from the price whatever you^-saww like’. He^-saww said: ‘One hundred dirhams’. I^-ra said, ‘Sold it, to you^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘And for you^-ra is (riding on) its back up to Medina’.

فَلَمَّا رَجَعْنَا وَ نَزَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ حَطَطْتُ عَنْهُ رَحْلِي وَ أَخَذْتُ بِزِمَامِهِ فَقَدِمْتُ‏ إِلَى بَابِ دَارِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ وَفَيْتَ يَا عَمَّارُ فَقُلْتُ الْوَاجِبُ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَنَسُ ادْفَعْ إِلَى عَمَّارٍ مِائَةَ دِرْهَمٍ لِثَمَنِ الْجَمَلِ وَ رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْجَمَلَ هَدِيَّةً مِنَّا إِلَيْهِ لِيَنْتَفِعَ بِهِ

When we returned and descended at Medina, I^-ra was overwhelmed from my^-ra journey, and I grabbed its reins and went to the door of Rasool-Allah^-saww. He^-saww said: ‘You^ar are loyal, O Ammar^-ra!’ I^-ra said, ‘This is Obligatory, O Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ He^-saww said: ‘O Anas! Hand over one hundred Dirhams to Amar^-ra for the price of the camel, and return the camel to him as a gift from us to him, for him to benefit by it’.

قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَ كُنَّا يَوْماً جُلُوساً حَوْلَهُ ص فِي مَسْجِدِهِ فَأَخَذَ كَفّاً مِنْ حَصَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَنَطَقَتِ الْحَصَيَاتُ كُلُّهَا فِي يَدِهِ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ ثُمَّ قَذَفَ بِهَا إِلَى مَوْضِعِهَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ

Jabir said, ‘And one day we were seated around him^-saww in his^-saww Masjid, and he^-saww grabbed a handful of pebbles of the Masjid, and the pebbles spoke, all of them, in his^-saww hand with the glorification. Then he^-saww threw them back to their place in the Masjid’’.[99]

41- يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ قَوْماً أَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ شَكَوْا بَعِيراً لَهُمْ جُنَّ وَ قَدْ خَرَّبَ بُسْتَاناً لَهُمْ فَمَشَى ص إِلَى بُسْتَانِهِمْ فَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا الْبَابَ صُدِمَ الْبَعِيرُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ ص وَقَعَ فِي التُّرَابِ وَ جَعَلَ يَصِيحُ بِحَنِينٍ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ إِنَّهُ يَشْكُوكُمْ وَ يَقُولُ عَمِلْتُ سِنِينَ وَ أَتْعَبْتُمُونِي فِي حَوَائِجِكُمْ فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَبِرْتُ أَرَدْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْحَرُونِي

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that a group came to the Prophet^-saww complaining of a camel of theirs having gone mad and had ruined their garden. He^-saww walked to their garden. When they opened the door the camel blocked them. When it saw the Prophet^-saww, it fell on the ground and went on making noise. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘It is complaining to you and is saying, ‘I worked for years and you exhausted me in your needs. When I am old you want to slaughter me!’

قَالُوا قَدْ كَانَ كَذَلِكَ وَ قَدْ وَهَبْنَاهُ لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ص بَلْ بِيعُونِيهِ فَابْتَاعَهُ وَ أَعْتَقَهُ فَكَانَ يَطُوفُ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ وَ يَعْلِفُهُ أَهْلُهَا وَ يَقُولُونَ عَتِيقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

They said, ‘It has been like that, and we gift it to you^-saww, O Rasool-Allah^-saww’. He^-saww said: ‘But, sell it to me^-saww’. They sold it and he^-saww freed it, and it used to circle in Medina, and its inhabitants were kind to it and said, ‘Freed one of Rasool-Allah^-azwj.[100]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported that Al Waleed Bin Abadah Bin Al Samit said,

‘While Jabir Bin Abdullah was in the Masjid when a Bedouin stood up to him and said, ‘Inform me, did any animal speak in the era of Rasool-Allah^-saww?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ص عَلَى عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي لَهَبٍ فَقَالَ أَكَلَكَ‏ كَلْبُ اللَّهِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَوْماً فِي صَحْبٍ لَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا نَزَلْنَا عَلَى مَبْقَلَةٍ بِمَكَّةَ خَرَجَ عُتْبَةُ مُسْتَخْفِياً فَنَزَلَ فِي أَقَاصِي أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ النَّاسُ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ لِيَقْتُلَ مُحَمَّداً

He said, ‘Yes. The Prophet^-saww invited Otbah Bin Abu Lahab (to Islam). He said, ‘May you^-saww be killed, dog of Allah^-azwj!’ Rasool-Allah^-saww went out one day among companions of his^-saww until when we descended among the outside companions of the Prophet^-saww and the (generality) of the people were not knowing (that he had come) to kill Muhammad^-saww.

فَلَمَّا هَجَمَ اللَّيْلُ إِذَا أَسَدٌ قَبَضَ عَلَى عُتْبَةَ ثُمَّ أَخْرَجَهُ خَارِجَ الرَّكْبِ ثُمَّ زَأَرَ زَئِيراً لَمْ يَبْقَ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الرَّكْبِ إِلَّا أَنْصَتَ لَهُ ثُمَّ نَطَقَ بِلِسَانٍ طَلْقٍ‏ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ هَذَا عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي لَهَبٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ مُسْتَخْفِياً يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ يَقْتُلُ مُحَمَّداً ثُمَّ مَزَّقَهُ‏ قِطَعاً قِطَعاً فَلَمْ يَأْكُلْ مِنْهُ

When the night came, a lion seized upon Otbah, then brought him outside the assembly, then it roared with a roar, there did not remain anyone from the riders except listened to it. The it spoke with a free tongue and it was saying, ‘This is Otbah Bin Abu Lahab! He came out from Makkah in concealment, claiming that he would kill Muhammad^-saww’. The, it devoured him into pieces and pieces, but did not eat from him’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَ قَدْ تَثَمَّلَ‏ قَوْمٌ مِنْ آلِ ذَرِيحٍ وَ فَتَيَاتٌ‏ لَهُمْ لَيْلَةً فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ فِي لَهْوِهِمْ وَ لَعِبِهِمْ إِذْ صَعِدَ عِجْلٌ عَلَى رَابِيَةٍ وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ بِلِسَانٍ ذَلِقٍ‏ يَا آلَ ذَرِيحٍ أَمْرٌ نَجِيحٌ صَائِحٌ يَصِيحُ بِلِسَانٍ فَصِيحٍ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى قَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَأَجِيبُوهُ

The Jabir said, ‘A group from the family of Zareeh had taken to drink and their youths at night. While they were in their vanities and their playfulness when a calf climbed upon Rabie and said to them in eloquent tongue, ‘O family of Zareeh! There is an exemplary matter. A shouter is shouting in eloquent tongue in the middle of Makkah, inviting them to the word, ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj’, so, answer him^-saww!’

فَتَرَكَ الْقَوْمُ لَهْوَهُمْ وَ لَعِبَهُمْ وَ أَقْبَلُوا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَدَخَلُوا فِي الْإِسْلَامِ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ

The group left their vanities and their playfulness and came to Makkah and entered into Islam with Rasool-Allah^-saww’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ جَابِرٌ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ ذِئْبٌ أَتَى غَنَماً لِيُصِيبَ مِنْهَا فَجَعَلَ الرَّاعِي يَصُدُّهُ وَ يَمْنَعُهُ‏ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ فَقَالَ عَجَباً لِهَذَا الذِّئْبِ فَقَالَ يَا هَذَا أَعْجَبُ‏ مِنِّي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُرَشِيُّ يَدْعُوكُمْ بِبَطْنِ مَكَّةَ إِلَى قَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَضْمَنُ لَكُمْ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ وَ تَأْبَوْنَ عَلَيْهِ

Then Jabir said, ‘The wolf had spoken. It came to a flock of sheep in order to attain from it, and the shepherd went on to hinder it and prevent it, but could not deter it. He said, ‘How strange of this wolf!’ It said, ‘O you who are being astounded from me! Muhammad^-saww Bin Abdullah^-asws, the Qureshi, is calling you in the middle of Makkah to his^-saww word: ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj’ and he^-saww would guarantee Paradise for you, and you are refusing to him^-saww’.

فَقَالَ الرَّاعِي يَا لَكَ مِنْ طَامَّةٍ مَنْ يَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ حَتَّى آتِيَهُ فَأُؤْمِنَ بِهِ قَالَ الذِّئْبُ أَنَا أَرْعَى الْغَنَمَ فَخَرَجَ وَ دَخَلَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ

The shepherd said, ‘Woe be to you of a catastrophe! Who will pasture the sheep until I go to him^-saww and believe in him^-saww?’ The wolf said, ‘I will pasture the sheep’. He went out and entered to be with Rasool-Allah^-saww into Al Islam.

ثُمَّ قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعِيرٌ كَانَ لِآلِ النَّجَّارِ شَرَدَ عَنْهُمْ‏ وَ مَنَعَهُمْ ظَهْرَهُ فَاحْتَالُوا لَهُ بِكُلِّ حِيلَةٍ فَلَمْ يَجِدُوا إِلَى أَخْذِهِ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ فَأَخْبَرُوا النَّبِيَّ ص فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا بَصُرَ بِهِ الْبَعِيرُ بَرَكَ خَاضِعاً بَاكِياً فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى بَنِي النَّجَّارِ فَقَالَ أَلَا إِنَّهُ يَشْكُوكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ قَلَلْتُمْ عَلَفَهُ وَ أَثْقَلْتُمْ ظَهْرَهُ فَقَالُوا إِنَّهُ ذُو مَنْعَةٍ لَا يَتَمَكَّنُ مِنْهُ‏ فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ مَعَ أَهْلِكَ فَانْطَلَقَ ذَلِيلًا

Then Jabir said, ‘And a camel had spoken, which belonged to the family of Al-Najar, wandering away from them and preventing them its back. They tried to trick it with every means but they could not find a way to seize it from a way. They informed the Prophet^-saww and he^-saww went out to it. When the camel saw him^-saww it knelt down in humbleness, crying. The Prophet^-saww turned around to the clan of Najar and said, ‘But it is complaining of you that you give it little fodder and are heavy on loading it’. They said, ‘It is with prevention, not enabling from it’. He^-saww said: ‘Go with your owners’. It went disgraced.

ثُمَّ قَالَ جَابِرٌ لَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ ظَبْيَةٌ اصْطَادَهَا قَوْمٌ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ فَشَدُّوهَا إِلَى جَانِبِ رَحْلِهِمْ فَمَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ص فَنَادَتْهُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ أَيَّتُهَا النَّجْدَاءُ مَا شَأْنُكِ قَالَتْ إِنِّي حَافِلٌ وَ لِي خِشْفَانِ فَخَلِّنِي حَتَّى أُرْضِعَهُمَا وَ أَعُودَ

Then a deer had spoken. It was caught by a group of companions, they tied it to the side of their rides. The Prophet^-saww passed by and it called out to him^-saww, ‘O Prophet^-saww of Allah^-azwj!’ He^-saww said: ‘O you deer, what is your concern?’ It said, ‘I am filled up (with milk) but there are two cubs for me, so free me until I feed them and return’.

فَأَطْلَقَهَا ثُمَّ مَضَى فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِذَا الظَّبْيَةُ قَائِمَةٌ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص يُوثِقُهَا فَحَسَّ أَهْلُ الرَّحْلِ بِهِ فَحَدَّثَهُمْ بِحَدِيثِهَا قَالُوا وَ هِيَ لَكَ فَأَطْلَقَهَا فَتَكَلَّمَتْ بِالشَّهَادَتَيْنِ‏

He^-saww freed it, then it went. When he^-saww returned, the deer was standing there. The Prophet^-saww went on to tied it up (again). The people of the caravan sensed it, so he^-saww narrated to them of its story. They said, ‘And it is for you^-saww’. He^-saww freed it, and it spoke with the two testimonies’’.[101]

‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Salman^-ra having said: ‘I^-ra was seated in the presence of the Prophet^-saww when a Bedouin came and said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Inform me with what is in the belly of my she-camel until I know that which you^-saww have come with it true, and I shall believe in your^-saww God and follow you^-saww’.

فَالْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع فَقَالَ حَبِيبِي عَلِيٌّ يَدُلُّكَ‏ فَأَخَذَ ع بِخِطَامِ النَّاقَةِ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ يَدَهُ عَلَى نَحْرِهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ طَرْفَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ بِكَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ لَمَّا أَنْطَقْتَ هَذِهِ النَّاقَةَ حَتَّى تُخْبِرَ بِمَا فِي بَطْنِهَا

The Prophet^-saww turned around and said, ‘My^-saww beloved Ali^-asws will point you’. He^-asws grabbed the rein of the camel, then wiped his^-asws hand upon its throat, then raised his^-asws glance towards the sky and said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! I^-asws ask You^-azwj by the right of Muhammad^-saww and the People^-asws of the Household of Muhammad^-saww, and by Your^-azwj Beautiful Names, and by Your^-azwj Complete Word, to Cause this camel to speak until it informs with what is in her belly!’

فَإِذَا النَّاقَةُ قَدِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ رَكِبَنِي يَوْماً وَ هُوَ يُرِيدُ زِيَارَةَ ابْنِ عَمٍّ لَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى بِي إِلَى وَادٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ وَادِي الْحَسَكِ نَزَلَ عَنِّي وَ أَبْرَكَنِي فِي الْوَادِي وَ وَاقَعَنِي فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَيْحَكُمْ أَيُّكُمُ النَّبِيُّ هَذَا أَوْ هَذَا قِيلَ هَذَا النَّبِيُّ وَ هَذَا أَخُوهُ وَ وَصِيُّهُ

The she-camel turned towards Ali^-asws and it said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen^-asws! He had ridden me one day and wanted to visit a cousin of his. When he ended with me to a valley called ‘Valley of Al-Hasak’, he descended from me, and made me kneel in the valley and copulated with me’. The Bedouin said, ‘Woe be unto you! Which one of you is the Prophet^-saww, this one or this one?’ It was said, ‘This is the Prophet^-saww, and this is his^-saww brother^-asws, his^-saww successor^-asws’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَنَّكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ص أَنْ يَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ لِيَكْفِيَهُ مَا فِي بَطْنِ نَاقَتِهِ فَكَفَاهُ وَ أَسْلَمَ وَ حَسُنَ إِسْلَامُهُ

The Bedouin said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj, and you^-saww are Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’, and he asked the Prophet^-saww to ask Allah^-azwj to suffice him what was in the belly of his she-camel. He^-saww sufficed him and he became a Muslim and his Islam was good’’.[102]

44- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب يج، الخرائج و الجرائح رُوِيَ‏ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص يَوْماً فَقَالَ مَا فَعَلَتْ غُنَيْمَاتُكَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ لَهَا قِصَّةً عَجِيبَةً بَيْنَمَا أَنَا فِي صَلَاتِي إِذْ عَدَا الذِّئْبُ عَلَى غَنَمِي فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَا أَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ فَأَخَذَ حَمَلًا فَذَهَبَ بِهِ وَ أَنَا أَحُسُّ بِهِ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى الذِّئْبِ أَسَدٌ فَاسْتَنْقَذَ الْحَمَلَ‏ وَ رَدَّهُ فِي الْقَطِيعِ

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashoub, ‘Al-Kharaij Wa Al-Jaraih’ – It is reported from Abu Zarr^-ra having said, ‘I^-ra went to the Prophet^-saww one day and he^-saww said: ‘What did you^-ra do with your^-ra flock?’ I^-ra said, ‘There is a strange story for it. While I^-ra was in my^-ra Salat when the wolf attacked upon my^-ra flock. I^-ra said within myself^-ra, ‘I^-ra will not cut off the Salat’. It seized a sheep and went away with it and I^-ra did sense it. Then a lion faced towards the wolf and made it drop the sheep and it returned to my^-ra flock.

ثُمَّ نَادَانِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَقْبِلْ عَلَى صَلَاتِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ وَكَّلَنِي بِغَنَمِكَ‏ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْتُ قَالَ لِيَ الْأَسَدُ امْضِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ فَأَخْبِرْهُ‏ أَنَّ اللَّهَ أَكْرَمَ صَاحِبَكَ الْحَافِظَ لِشَرِيعَتِكَ وَ وَكَّلَ أَسَداً بِغَنَمِهِ فَعَجِبَ‏ مَنْ حَوْلَ النَّبِيِّ ص‏

Then it called out to me^-ra, ‘O Abu Zarr^-ra! Return to your^-ra salat, for Allah^-azwj has Allocated me for your^-ra sheep’. When I^-ra was free, the lion said to me^-ra, ‘Go to Muhammad^-saww and inform him^-saww, ‘Allah^-azwj has Honoured your^-saww companion, the preserver of your^-saww Law, and Allocated a lion for his^-ra sheep’. He^-ra was astonished from the awe of the Prophet^-saww’’.[103]

45- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَ عَائِشَةُ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ فِي يَدِهِ ضَبٌّ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَا أُسْلِمُ حَتَّى تُسْلِمَ هَذِهِ الْحَيَّةُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص‏ مَنْ رَبُّكَ فَقَالَ الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ مُلْكُهُ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ سُلْطَانُهُ وَ فِي الْبَحْرِ عَجَائِبُهُ وَ فِي الْبَرِّ بَدَائِعُهُ وَ فِي الْأَرْحَامِ عِلْمُهُ

‘Al-Manaqib’ of Ibn Shehr Ashoub – Abu Hureyra and Ayesha – ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet^-saww and there was a lizard in his hand. He said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! I will not become a Muslim until this reptile becomes a Muslim’. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘Who is your Lord^-azwj?’ It said, ‘The One^-azwj Whose Kingdom is in the sky, and His^-azwj Authority is in the earth, and His^-azwj Wonders are in the sea, and His^-azwj creation is in the land, and His^-azwj Knowledge is in the wombs’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا ضَبُّ مَنْ أَنَا قَالَ أَنْتَ رَسُولُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ زَيْنُ الْخَلْقِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ آمَنَ بِكَ وَ أَسْعَدَ

Then he^-saww said: ‘O lizard! Who am I^-saww?’ It said, ‘You^-saww are a Rasool^-saww of Lord^-azwj of the world, and adornment of all the creatures on the Day of Qiyamah, and guide of the resplendent, he has succeeded the one who believes in you^-saww and is fortunate’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ ضَحِكَ وَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْكَ وَ كُنْتَ أَبْغَضَ الْخَلْقِ إِلَيَّ وَ أَخْرُجُ وَ أَنْتَ أَحَبُّهُمْ إِلَيَّ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ مَنْزِلَهُ اسْتَجْمَعَ أَصْحَابَهُ‏ وَ أَخْبَرَهُمْ بِمَا رَأَى فَقَصَدُوا نَحْوَ النَّبِيِّ ص بِأَجْمَعِهِمْ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ص

The Bedouin said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad^-saww is Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’. Then he laughed and said, ‘I came to you^-saww and you^-saww were the most hateful of the people to me, and I am going out and you^-saww are the most beloved of them to me’. When the Bedouin reached his house, gathered his companions and informed them with what he had seen. They came to the Prophet^-saww in their entirety, and the Prophet^-saww welcomed them.

فَأَنْشَأَ الْأَعْرَابِيُ‏

أَلَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ صَادِقٌ‏		فَبُورِكْتَ مَهْدِيّاً وَ بُورِكْتَ هَادِياً
شَرَعْتَ لَنَا دِينَ الْحَنِيفِيِّ بَعْدَ مَا		عَنِدْنَا كَأَمْثَالِ الْحَمِيرِ الطَّوَاغِيَا
فَيَا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ وَ يَا خَيْرَ مُرْسَلٍ‏		إِلَى الْإِنْسِ ثُمَّ الْجِنِّ لَبَّيْكَ دَاعِياً
أَتَيْتَ بِبُرْهَانٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَاضِحٍ‏		فَأَصْبَحْتَ فِينَا صَادِقَ الْقَوْلِ رَاضِياً
فَبُورِكْتَ فِي الْأَقْوَامِ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً		وَ بُورِكْتَ مَوْلُوداً وَ بُورِكْتَ نَاشِياً

Then the Bedouin composed (a poem), ‘Then the Bedouin composed the following: O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Indeed you^-saww are truthful, so you^-saww are blessed as one rightly guided, and you^-saww are blessed as one who guides. You^-saww established for us the religion of the upright way, after we had been wandering about like rebellious asses. O best of those who are called, and O best of those who were sent to mankind, then to the Jinn, I answer your call. You came with a clear proof from Allah^-azwj and so you^-saww became among us truthful in speech and content. So you^-saww are blessed among the peoples, in life and in death, and you^-saww are blessed at birth and you^-saww are blessed as a growing child’.

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ اسْمَ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ سَعْدُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ السُّلَمِيُّ فَسَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ص بِإِسْلَامِهِمْ وَ أَمَّرَ الْأَعْرَابِيَّ عَلَيْهِمْ

It is reported that the name of the Bedouin was Sa’ad Bin Muaz Al Salmy. The Prophet^-saww was cheered by their becoming Muslim and the matter of the Bedouin upon them.

زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْقَمَ وَ أَنَسٌ وَ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ أَنَّهُ مَرَّ بِظَبْيَةٍ مَرْبُوطَةٍ بِطُنُبِ خَيْمَةِ يَهُودِيٍّ فَقَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أُمُّ خِشْفَيْنِ عَطْشَانَيْنِ وَ هَذَا ضَرْعِي قَدِ امْتَلَأَ لَبَناً فَخَلِّنِي‏ حَتَّى أُرْضِعَهَا ثُمَّ أَعُودَ فَتَرْبِطَنِي

Zayd Bin Arqam, and Anas (fabricator), and Umm Salma, and Al-Sadiq^-asws: ‘He^-saww passed by a deer tied up at the base of a tent of a Jew. It said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I am a mother of two thirsty cubs, and this mammary of mine is filled with milk, so free me until I feed them then I shall return and you^-saww can tie me up (again)’.

فَقَالَ أَخَافُ أَنْ لَا تَعُودِي قَالَتْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ عَذَابَ الْعَشَّارِينَ إِنْ لَمْ أَعُدْ فَخَلَّى سَبِيلَهَا فَخَرَجَتْ وَ حَكَتْ لِخِشْفَيْهَا مَا جَرَى فَقَالا لَا نَشْرَبُ اللَّبَنَ وَ ضَامِنُكِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي أَذًى مِنْكِ فَخَرَجَتْ مَعَ خِشْفَيْهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَثْنَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلَا يَمْسَحَانِ رُءُوسَهُمَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَبَكَى الْيَهُودِيُّ وَ أَسْلَمَ وَ قَالَ قَدْ أَطْلَقْتُهَا وَ اتَّخَذَ هُنَاكَ مَسْجِداً

He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww am afraid you will not return’. It said, ‘May Allah^-azwj Make the Punishment of the tax collectors be upon me if I do not return’. He^-saww freed its way and it went out and told her cubs of what had transpired. They said, ‘We will not drink the milk and Rasool-Allah^-saww has guaranteed of the harm from you’. It went out with its subs to Rasool-Allah^-saww and praised him^-saww, and they both went on to wipe their heads with Rasool-Allah^-saww. The Jew cried and became a Muslim and said, ‘I have freed it’, and took a Masjid over there.

فَخَنَقَ‏ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي أَعْنَاقِهَا بِسِلْسِلَةٍ وَ قَالَ حَرَّمْتُ لُحُومَكُمْ عَلَى الصَّيَّادِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَوْ أَنَّ الْبَهَائِمَ يَعْلَمُونَ مِنَ الْمَوْتِ الْخَبَرَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww collared it with a chain in its neck and said: ‘Your meat is Prohibited unto the hunters’, then said: ‘If the animals knew from the death . .’ – the Hadeeth’.

وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ زَيْدٍ فَأَنَا وَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْتُهَا تُسَبِّحُ فِي الْبَرِّيَّةِ وَ هِيَ تَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ

And in a report of Zayd, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I saw it glorifying (Allah^-azwj in the wilderness and it was saying, ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj, Muhammad^-saww is Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj’.

وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ الرَّجُلَ اسْمُهُ أُهَيْبُ بْنُ سَمَاعٍ

And it is reported that the man, his name was Aheyb Bin Sama’a’.

عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّهُ لَمَّا فُتِحَ خَيْبَرُ كَانَ فِي سَهْمِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَرْبَعَةُ أَزْوَاجٍ ثِقَالًا وَ أَرْبَعَةُ أَزْوَاجٍ خِفَافاً وَ عَشْرَةُ أَوَاقِيَّ ذَهَباً وَ فِضَّةً وَ حِمَارٌ أَقْمَرُ فَلَمَّا رَكِبَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ نَطَقَ وَ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَا عُفَيْرٌ مَلَكَنِي مَلِكُ الْيَهُودِ وَ كُنْتُ عَضُوضاً جَمُوحاً غَيْرَ طَائِعٍ

Urwah Bin Al-Zubeyr, ‘When Khyber was conquered, it was in the share of Rasool-Allah^-saww, four pairs of heavyweights, and four pairs of lightweights, and ten ounces of gold and silver, and a whitish donkey. When Rasool-Allah^-saww rode it, it spoke and said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! I am (called) Ufeyr. The Jew owned me, and I was difficult, stubborn, disobedient’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ لَكَ مِنْ أَبٍ‏ قَالَ لَا لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَّا سَبْعُونَ مَرْكَباً لِلْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْآنَ نَسْلُنَا مُنْقَطِعٌ لَمْ يَبْقَ غَيْرِي وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ غَيْرُكَ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ بَشَّرَنَا بِذَلِكَ زَكَرِيَّا ع

He^-saww said: ‘Is there a father for you?’ It said, ‘No, because there were seventy rides from us for the Prophets^-as, and now our lineage is terminated, there does not remain apart from me, and there does not remain apart from you^-saww, from the Prophets^-as, and Zakariyya^-as gave us the glad tidings of that’.

فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَبْعَثُهُ إِلَى بَابِ الرَّجُلِ فَيَأْتِي الْبَابَ فَيَقْرَعُهُ بِرَأْسِهِ فَإِذَا خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ صَاحِبُ الدَّارِ أَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَجِبْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَتْلَفَ نَفْسَهُ فِي بِئْرٍ لِأَبِي‏ الْهَيْثَمِ بْنِ التَّيِّهَانِ فَصَارَ قَبْرَهُ

Rasool-Allah^-saww used to send it to the door of the man, so it would come to the door and knock it with its head, and when the owner of the house would come out, it would gesture to him, ‘Answer Rasool-Allah^-saww!’. When the Prophet^-saww passed away, it threw itself in a well of Abu Al-Haysam Bin Al-Tayhan, and it became its grave’.

وَ رَوَى أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ نَحْواً مِنْهُ فِي عِلَلِ الشَّرَائِعِ

And it is reported by Abu Ja’far^-asws, approximately to it in (the book) ‘Illal Al-Sharaie’’.

عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعَنْبَرِيُ‏ خَطَبَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَ حَثَّ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ إِبِلِي هَذِهِ لِلْفُقَرَاءِ فَنَظَرَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ اشْتَرُوهَا لِي فَاشْتُرِيَتْ

Abdul Rahman Al-Anbary, ‘The Prophet^-saww addressed on the day of Arafaat and urged upon the giving of charity. A man said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! This came of mine is hereby for the poor’. The Prophet^-saww looked at it and said, ‘Buy it for me^-saww’. He^-saww bought it.

فَأَتَتْ لَيْلَةً إِلَى حُجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكِ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ حَامِياً فَاسْتُعِرْتُ مِنْ صَاحِبِي فَشَرَدْتُ مِنْهُمْ وَ كُنْتُ أَرْعَى فَكَانَ النَّبَاتُ يَدْعُونِي وَ السِّبَاعُ تَصِيحُ عَلَيَّ إِنَّهُ لِمُحَمَّدٍ

One night it came to the chamber of the Prophet^-saww. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘May Allah^-azwj Bless you’. It said, ‘I was feverish and was afraid from my companions and wandered away from them, and I was grazing and the vegetation and the animals called out to me, shouting at me, ‘It is for Muhammad^-saww!’

فَسَأَلَهَا النَّبِيُّ ص عَنِ اسْمِ مَوْلَاهَا فَقَالَتْ عَضْبَا فَسَمَّاهَا عَضْبَا

The Prophet^-saww asked it of the name of its master. It said, ‘Azba’a’, so he^-saww named it as ‘Azba’a’’.

قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَ النَّبِيَّ ص الْوَفَاةُ قَالَتْ لِمَنْ تُوصِي بِي بَعْدَكَ قَالَ يَا عَضْبَا بَارَكَ اللَّهُ فِيكِ أَنْتِ لِابْنَتِي فَاطِمَةَ تَرْكَبُكِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

Umar Bin Al-Khatab said, ‘When the death presented to the Prophet^-saww, it said, ‘For whom are you^-saww bequeathing me to after you^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘O Azba’a! May Allah^-azwj Bless you. You will be for my^-saww daughter^-asws Fatima^-asws. She^-asws will ride you in the world and the Hereafter.

فَلَمَّا قُبِضَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَتَتْ إِلَى فَاطِمَةَ ع لَيْلًا فَقَالَتْ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكِ يَا بِنْتَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ قَدْ حَانَ فِرَاقِيَ الدُّنْيَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا تَهَنَّأْتُ بِعَلَفٍ وَ لَا شَرَابٍ بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَاتَتْ بَعْدَ النَّبِيِّ ص بِثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ‏

When the Prophet^-saww passed away, it came to (Syeda) Fatima^-asws one night and said, ‘The greetings be upon you, O daughter^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww! The world has arrived. By Allah^-azwj! I have not been happy with the fodder nor with a drink after Rasool-Allah^-saww’, and it died after the Prophet^-saww in three days’’.[104]

46- قب، المناقب لابن شهرآشوب جَابِرٌ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ وَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ قَالا كَانَ فِي حَائِطِ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ جَمَلٌ قَطِمٌ‏ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْحَائِطَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا شَدَّ عَلَيْهِ فَدَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْحَائِطَ وَ دَعَاهُ فَجَاءَهُ وَ وَضَعَ مِشْفَرَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ نَزَلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَخَطَمَهُ وَ دَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ

Jabir Al-Ansary and Abadah Bin Al-Samit both said, ‘There was a fierce, aggressive camel in an orchard belonging to the Banu Najjar. No one entered the orchard except it hindered him. The Prophet^-saww entered the orchard and called out to it. It came to him^-saww and placed its lips on the ground and descended in front of him^-saww. He^-saww reined it and handed it over to its owner.

فَقِيلَ الْبَهَائِمُ يَعْرِفُونَ نُبُوَّتَكَ فَقَالَ مَا مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ عَارِفٌ بِنُبُوَّتِي سِوَى أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَ قُرَيْشٍ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ أَحْرَى بِالسُّجُودِ لَكَ مِنَ الْبَهَائِمِ قَالَ إِنِّي أَمُوتُ فَاسْجُدُوا لِلْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ

It was said, ‘The animals are recognising your^-saww Prophet-hood?’ He^-saww said: ‘There is none from the things except and it recognises my^-saww Prophet-hood apart from Abu Jahl^-la and Qureysh’. They said, ‘We are more rightful with the Sajdah to you^-saww than the animals are’. He^-saww said: ‘I^-saww shall be dying, so do Sajdah to the One^-azwj Who will not be dying’.

وَ جَاءَ جَمَلٌ آخَرُ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ ثُمَّ أَصْغَى إِلَى الْجَمَلِ وَ ضَحِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا يَشْكُو قِلَّةَ الْعَلَفِ وَ ثِقَلَ الْحِمْلِ يَا جَابِرُ اذْهَبْ مَعَهُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ فَأْتِنِي بِهِ قُلْتُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَعْرِفُ صَاحِبَهُ قَالَ هُوَ يَدُلُّكَ

And another camel came moving its lips, then he^-saww paid attention to the camel and laughed, then said: ‘This one complains of the little fodder and heavy load. O Jabir! Go with it to its owner and come with him to me^-saww’. I said, ‘By Allah^-azwj! I do not know its owner’. He^-saww said: ‘It will guide you’.

قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ إِلَى بَعْضِ بَنِي حَنْظَلَةَ وَ أَتَيْتُ بِهِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ بَعِيرُكَ هَذَا يُخْبِرُنِي بِكَذَا وَ كَذَا قَالَ إِنَّمَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ لِعِصْيَانِهِ‏ فَفَعَلْنَا بِهِ ذَلِكَ لَيْلَتَيْنِ فَوَاجَهَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ انْطَلِقْ مَعَ أَهْلِكَ فَكَانَ يَتَقَدَّمُهُمْ مُتَذَلِّلًا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَعْتَقْنَاهُ لِحُرْمَتِكَ فَكَانَ يَدُورُ فِي الْأَسْوَاقِ وَ النَّاسُ يَقُولُونَ هَذَا عَتِيقُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ‏

He (Jabir^-ar) said, ‘I went out with it to one of the clan of Hanzala and came with him to Rasool-Allah^-saww. He^-saww said: ‘This camel of yours informed me^-saww with such and such’. He said, But rather that was due to its disobedience, so we did that with it for it to be obedience’. Rasool-Allah^-saww faced it and said: ‘Go with your owners and it preceded them disgraced. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! We hereby free it for your^-saww sanctity’. It used to circle among the markets and the people were saying, ‘This is the freed one of Rasool-Allah^-saww.[105]

47- م، تفسير الإمام عليه السلام‏ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ أَمْ تُرِيدُونَ أَنْ تَسْئَلُوا رَسُولَكُمْ كَما سُئِلَ مُوسى‏ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَ مَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ الْكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمانِ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَواءَ السَّبِيلِ‏

Or are you intending that you would be questioning your Rasool, just as Musa was questioned from before; and the one who is (adopting) the Kufr, replacing the Eman with it, so he has strayed (from) the right Way [2:108]

قَالَ الْإِمَامُ ع قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ‏ أَمْ تُرِيدُونَ‏ بَلْ تُرِيدُونَ يَا كُفَّارَ قُرَيْشٍ وَ الْيَهُودَ أَنْ تَسْئَلُوا رَسُولَكُمْ‏ مَا تَقْتَرِحُونَهُ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي لَا تَعْلَمُونَ هَلْ فِيهِ صَلَاحُكُمْ أَوْ فَسَادُكُمْ‏ كَما سُئِلَ مُوسى‏ مِنْ قَبْلُ‏ وَ اقْتُرِحَ عَلَيْهِ لَمَّا قِيلَ لَهُ‏ لَنْ نُؤْمِنَ لَكَ حَتَّى نَرَى اللَّهَ جَهْرَةً فَأَخَذَتْهُمُ الصَّاعِقَةُ

The Imam (Hassan Al-Askari^-asws) said: ‘Ali^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza^-asws said: ‘Or are you intending – But, you are intending, O unbelievers of Qureysh and the Jews, that you would be questioning your Rasool – what you are suggesting it, from the Verses which you are not knowing whether therein is your correction or your corruption, just as Musa was questioned from before – and suggested upon him^-as for what was said to him^-as, We will never believe in you until we see Allah manifestly, so the thunderbolt seized you [2:55].

وَ مَنْ يَتَبَدَّلِ الْكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمانِ‏ بِأَنْ لَا يُؤْمِنَ عِنْدَ مُشَاهَدَةِ مَا يَقْتَرِحُ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ أَوْ لَا يُؤْمِنَ إِذَا عَرَفَ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَهُ أَنْ يَقْتَرِحَ وَ أَنَّهُ يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكْتَفِيَ بِمَا قَدْ أَقَامَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنَ الدَّلَالاتِ وَ أَوْضَحَهُ مِنَ الْآيَاتِ الْبَيِّنَاتِ

And the one who is (adopting) the Kufr, replacing the Eman with it – that he will not believe during the witnessing was is suggested from the Verses, or he will not believe when he recognises that it isn’t for him that he should suggest, and that it is Obligation that he suffices with what Allah^-azwj the Exalted has Established from the evidences, and Clarified from the clear Signs.

فَيَتَبَدَّلَ الْكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمَانِ بِأَنْ يُعَانِدَ وَ لَا يَلْتَزِمَ الْحُجَّةَ الْقَائِمَةَ فَقَدْ ضَلَّ سَواءَ السَّبِيلِ‏ أَخْطَأَ طَرِيقَ الْقَصْدِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى الْجِنَانِ وَ أَخَذَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ الْمُؤَدِّيَةِ إِلَى النِّيرَانِ‏

Thus he is (adopting) the Kufr, replacing the Eman with it, being inimical and not necessitating (upon himself) the proofs established upon him, so he has strayed (from) the right Way [2:108] – erred it aiming for the road leading to the Gardens, and (instead) took to the road leading to the Fires’’.

قَالَ ع قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يَا أَيُّهَا الْيَهُودُ أَمْ تُرِيدُونَ‏ بَلْ تُرِيدُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا آتَيْنَاكُمْ‏ أَنْ تَسْئَلُوا رَسُولَكُمْ

He^-saww said: ‘Allah^-azwj the Exalted Said to the Jews: ‘Or are you intending – But you are intending after what I^-azwj have Given you (already), that you would be questioning your Rasool [2:108].

‏ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَصَدَهُ عَشَرَةٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَعَنَّتُوهُ‏ وَ يَسْأَلُوهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يُعَانِتُوهُ بِهَا فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ كَأَنَّهُ يُدْفَعُ فِي قَفَاهُ قَدْ عَلَّقَ عَلَى عَصًا عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ جِرَاباً مَشْدُودَ الرَّأْسِ فِيهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ قَدْ مَلَأَهُ لَا يَدْرُونَ مَا هُوَ

And that is, that the Prophet^-saww, ten from the Jews aimed to make it difficult for him^-saww and asking him^-saww about things – intending to make him^-saww suffer with it. So, while they were like that, when a Bedouin came over – as if someone had been pushing him from his shoulder, and had a staff upon his shoulder with a bag attached to it over his head, in which was something. He had filled it and it was not known what it was.

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَجِبْنِي عَمَّا أَسْأَلُكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَخَا الْعَرَبِ قَدْ سَبَقَكَ الْيَهُودُ أَ فَتَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ حَتَّى أَبْدَأَ بِهِمْ قَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ لَا فَإِنِّي غَرِيبٌ مُجْتَازٌ

He said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Answer me about what I ask you^-saww’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Arab brother, the Jews have preceded you in asking. Can I^-saww ask their permission to change with them (an answer you first instead)?’ The Bedouin said, ‘No, for I am a stranger passing by’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَأَنْتَ إِذاً أَحَقُّ مِنْهُمْ لِغُرْبَتِكَ وَ اجْتِيَازِكَ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Then you are more rightful than them, due to your being a stranger and passing by’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَ لَفْظَةٌ أُخْرَى قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا هِيَ قَالَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ يَدَّعُونَهُ بِزَعْمِهِمْ‏ حَقّاً وَ لَسْتُ آمَنُ أَنْ تَقُولَ شَيْئاً يُوَاطِئُونَكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُصَدِّقُونَكَ لِيَفْتِنُوا النَّاسَ عَنْ دِينِهِمْ وَ أَنَا لَا أَقْنَعُ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا لَا أَقْنَعُ إِلَّا بِأَمْرٍ بَيِّنٍ

The Bedouin said, ‘And another word’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘And what is it?’ He said, ‘They are the People of the Book. They are claiming it and are assuming it is true, and it isn’t safe that you^-saww would be saying something, they would be in harmony with you and ratify you in order to tempt the people away from your^-saww Religion, and I am not convinced with the likes of this. I will not be convinced except with a clear matter’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَيْنَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ فَدُعِيَ بِعَلِيٍّ ع فَجَاءَ حَتَّى قَرُبَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Where is Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws?’ They called Ali^-asws, and came over until he^-asws was near Rasool-Allah^-saww.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ مَا تَصْنَعُ بِهَذَا فِي مُحَاوَرَتِي وَ إِيَّاكَ‏ قَالَ يَا أَعْرَابِيٌّ سَأَلْتَ الْبَيَانَ وَ هَذَا الْبَيَانُ الشَّافِي وَ صَاحِبُ الْعِلْمِ الْكَافِي أَنَا مَدِينَةُ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ هَذَا بَابُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ الْحِكْمَةَ وَ الْعِلْمَ فَلْيَأْتِ الْبَابَ

The Bedouin said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! And what are you^-saww doing with this one during my conversation with you^-saww?’ He^-saww said: ‘O Bedouin! You asked for the clarification, and this is the interceding clarifier, and master of sufficient knowledge. I^-saww am the city of wisdom and this one is its gate, therefore the one who wants the wisdom and the knowledge, so let him come to the gate’.

فَلَمَّا مَثُلَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى آدَمَ فِي جَلَالَتِهِ وَ إِلَى شَيْثٍ فِي حِكْمَتِهِ وَ إِلَى إِدْرِيسَ فِي نَبَاهَتِهِ وَ مَهَابَتِهِ وَ إِلَى نُوحٍ فِي شُكْرِهِ لِرَبِّهِ وَ عِبَادَتِهِ وَ إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي وَفَائِهِ وَ خُلَّتِهِ وَ إِلَى مُوسَى فِي بُغْضِ كُلِّ عَدُوٍّ لِلَّهِ وَ مُنَابَذَتِهِ وَ إِلَى عِيسَى فِي حُبِّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُعَاشَرَتِهِ‏ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ هَذَا

When he^-asws had been resembles as such in front of Rasool-Allah^-saww, Rasool-Allah^-saww said in a raised voice of his^-saww: ‘The one who wants to look at Adam^-as in his^-as majesty, and to Shees^-as in his^-as wisdom, and to Idrees^-as in his^-as eminence and his^-as grandeur, and to Noah^-as in his^-as gratefulness to his^-as Lord^-azwj and his^-saww worship, and to Ibrahim^-as in his^-as mannerisms and his^-as loyalty, and to Musa^-as in his^-as hatred of every enemy for the Sake of Allah^-azwj and his^-as disavowing (from them), and to Isa^-as in the love for every Momin and excellence of his^-saww (social) relationships, so let him look at Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, this one!’

فَأَمَّا الْمُؤْمِنُونَ فَازْدَادُوا بِذَلِكَ إِيمَاناً وَ أَمَّا الْمُنَافِقُونَ فَازْدَادَ نِفَاقُهُمْ

As for the Momineen, they increased in Eman by that, and as for the hypocrites, they increased in their hypocrisy.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَكَذَا مَدْحُكَ لِابْنِ عَمِّكَ إِنَّ شَرَفَهُ شَرَفُكَ وَ عِزَّهُ عِزُّكَ وَ لَسْتُ أَقْبَلُ مِنْ هَذَا شَيْئاً إِلَّا بِشَهَادَةِ مَنْ لَا يَحْتَمِلُ شَهَادَتُهُ بُطْلَاناً وَ لَا فَسَاداً بِشَهَادَةِ هَذَا الضَّبِّ

The Bedouin said, ‘O Muhammad^-saww! Like this is your^-saww praise for the son^-asws of your^-saww uncle^-as, that his^-as nobility is your^-saww nobility, and his^-asws honour is your^-saww honour! But I will not accept anything from this except by a testimony from one cannot carry a false testimony, nor a corrupt one, by the testimony of this lizard!’

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَخَا الْعَرَبِ فَأَخْرِجْهُ مِنْ جِرَابِكَ أَسْتَشْهِدْهُ‏ فَيَشْهَدَ لِي بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ لِأَخِي هَذَا بِالْفَضِيلَةِ

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘O Arab brother! Then bring it out from your bag for its testimony, so it would testify for me^-saww with the Prophet-hood, and for this brother^-asws of mine^-saww with the merits’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ لَقَدْ تَعِبْتُ فِي اصْطِيَادِهِ وَ أَنَا خَائِفٌ أَنْ يَطْفِرَ وَ يَهْرُبَ

The Bedouin said, ‘I have been exhausted in its catching it, and I am afraid that it might leap up and flee’.

فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا تَخَفْ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَطْفِرُ وَ لَا يَهْرُبُ بَلْ يَقِفُ وَ يَشْهَدُ لَنَا بِتَصْدِيقِنَا وَ تَفْضِيلِنَا

Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Do not fear, for it will neither leap up nor flee, but it would pause and testify for us^-asws by ratifying us^-asws and of our^-asws merits’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ أَخَافُ أَنْ يَطْفِرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَإِنْ طَفَرَ فَقَدْ كَفَاكَ بِهِ تَكْذِيباً لَنَا وَ احْتِجَاجاً عَلَيْنَا وَ لَنْ يَطْفِرَ وَ لَكِنَّهُ سَيَشْهَدُ لَنَا بِشَهَادَةِ الْحَقِّ فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَخَلِّ سَبِيلَهُ فَإِنَّ مُحَمَّداً يُعَوِّضُكَ عَنْهُ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنْهُ

The Bedouin said, ‘I (still fear) it would leap out’. Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘If it does leap out, it would suffice you for belying us^-asws, and as an argument against us^-asws. And it will never leap out, but it would testify for us^-asws with the truthful testimony. Therefore, when you do that, free its way, for Muhammad^-saww would compensate you instead of it with what is better for you than it’.

فَأَخْرَجَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ مِنَ الْجِرَابِ وَ وَضَعَهُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَوَقَفَ وَ اسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ مَرَّغَ خَدَّيْهِ فِي التُّرَابِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ أَنْطَقَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ صَفِيُّهُ وَ سَيِّدُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ أَفْضَلُ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ

The Bedouin brought it out and placed it upon the ground. It paused and faced Rasool-Allah^-saww and rubbed its cheeks in the soil, then raised its head and Allah^-azwj the Exalted Caused it to speak, and it said, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone, there being no associates for Him^-azwj. And I testify that Muhammad^-saww is His^-azwj servant and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and His^-azwj elite, and Chief of the Mursils, and the most superior of the creatures in their entirety, and the Seal of the Prophet^-as, and Guide of the resplendent.

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ أَخَاكَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَى الْوَصْفِ الَّذِي وَصَفْتَهُ وَ بِالْفَضْلِ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَهُ وَ أَنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَهُ فِي الْجِنَانِ مُكْرَمُونَ وَ أَنَّ أَعْدَاءَهُ فِي النَّارِ خَالِدُونَ‏

And I testify that this brother of yours^-saww, Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, the description which you^-saww described him^-asws as, and with the merits which you^-saww mentioned, and that his^-asws friends would be honoured in the Gardens, and that his^-asws enemies would be in the Fire eternally’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَ هُوَ يَبْكِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ أَنَا أَشْهَدُ بِمَا شَهِدَ بِهِ هَذَا الضَّبُّ فَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ وَ شَاهَدْتُ وَ سَمِعْتُ مَا لَيْسَ لِي عَنْهُ مَعْدِلٌ وَ لَا مَحِيصٌ

The Bedouin said, and he was crying, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! And I (also) testify with what this lizard has testified, for I have seen and witnessed, and heard what there isn’t any escape or avoidance from it’.

ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ وَيْلَكُمْ أَيَّ آيَةٍ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ تُرِيدُونَ وَ مُعْجِزَةٍ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ تَقْتَرِحُونَ لَيْسَ إِلَّا أَنْ تُؤْمِنُوا أَوْ تَهْلِكُوا أَجْمَعِينَ

Then the Bedouin turned to face the Jew, and he said, ‘Woe be unto you all! Which Sign after this do you desire, and a miracle after this would you be suggesting? There isn’t (any way out) except that you should be believing, or you would be destroyed in your entirety’.

فَآمَنَ أُولَئِكَ الْيَهُودُ كُلُّهُمْ وَ قَالُوا عَظُمَتْ بَرَكَةُ ضَبِّكَ عَلَيْنَا يَا أَخَا الْعَرَبِ

Those Jews, all of them believed, and they said, ‘Great are the Blessings of your lizard upon us, O Arab brother!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا أَخَا الْعَرَبِ خَلِّ الضَّبَّ عَلَى أَنْ يُعَوِّضَكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْهُ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ ضَبٌّ مُؤْمِنٌ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ وَ بِأَخِي رَسُولِهِ شَاهِدٌ بِالْحَقِّ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ مَصِيداً وَ لَا أَسِيراً وَ لَكِنَّهُ يَكُونُ مُخَلًّى سَرْبُهُ تَكُونُ لَهُ مَزِيَّةٌ عَلَى سَائِرِ الضِّبَابِ بِمَا فَضَّلَهُ اللَّهُ أَمِيراً

Then Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘Free the lizard upon that Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Compensate instead from it, what would be better for you than it, for the lizard is a Momin with Allah^-azwj and with His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and with the brother^-asws of His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, with the Truth. It is not befitting that it would happen to be caught, nor held in captivity, but its way should be free for it to become privileged upon the rest of the lizards, with what Allah^-azwj has Graced it, would be (their) Emir’.

فَنَادَاهُ الضَّبُّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَخَلِّنِي وَ وَلِّنِي تَعْوِيضَهُ لِأُعَوِّضَهُ فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ وَ مَا عَسَاكَ تُعَوِّضُنِي قَالَ تَذْهَبُ بِي إِلَى الْجُحْرِ الَّذِي أَخَذْتَنِي مِنْهُ فَفِيهِ عَشْرَةُ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ خُسْرَوَانِيَّةٍ وَ ثَلَاثُمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ فَخُذْهَا

The lizard called out, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! Free me and allow me to compensate him for his compensation’. The Bedouin said, ‘And what will you compensate me (with)?’ It said, ‘Go to the burrow which you seized me from, and therein are ten thousand lost Dinars, and three hundred thousand Dirhams. Take it’.

فَقَالَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ قَدْ سَمِعَ هَذَا مِنَ الضَّبِّ جَمَاعَاتُ الْحَاضِرِينَ هَاهُنَا وَ أَنَا تَعِبٌ فَإِنَّ مَنْ هُوَ مُسْتَرِيحٌ يَذْهَبُ إِلَى هُنَاكَ فَيَأْخُذُهُ

The Bedouin said, ‘How can I do so. They have heard this – from this lizard – the ones present over here, and I am tired, and I will never be safe from the one who are rested, to go over there and take it’.

فَقَالَ الضَّبُّ يَا أَخَا الْعَرَبِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ جَعَلَهُ عِوَضاً مِنِّي فَمَا كَانَ لِيَتْرُكَ أَحَداً يَسْبِقُكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا يَرُومُ أَحَدٌ أَخْذَهُ إِلَّا أَهْلَكَهُ اللَّهُ

The lizard said, ‘O Arab brother! Allah^-azwj the Exalted has Made it as a compensation for you from me, therefore it would not be left for anyone to precede you to it, nor would anyone try to take it except Allah^-azwj would Destroy him’.

وَ كَانَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ تَعِباً فَمَشَى قَلِيلًا وَ سَبَقَهُ إِلَى الْجُحْرِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ كَانُوا بِحَضْرَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَدْخَلُوا أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى الْجُحْرِ لِيَتَنَاوَلُوا مِنْهُ مَا سَمِعُوا فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَيْهِمْ أَفْعًى عَظِيمَةٌ فَلَسَعَتْهُمْ وَ قَتَلَتْهُمْ وَ وَقَفَتْ حَتَّى حَضَرَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ

And the Bedouin was tired, so he walked a little (slowly), and a group of the hypocrites preceded him to the burrow, the ones who were in the presence of Rasool-Allah^-saww. They entered their hands into the burrow to grab from it what they had heard (was there), but a large snake came out to them. It bit them and killed them, and it paused until the Bedouin presented.

فَنَادَتْهُ يَا أَخَا الْعَرَبِ انْظُرْ إِلَى هَؤُلَاءِ كَيْفَ أَمَرَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِقَتْلِهِمْ دُونَ مَالِكَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِوَضُكَ‏ مِنْ ضَبِّكَ وَ جَعَلَنِي هُوَ حَافِظَهُ‏ فَتَنَاوَلَهُ ‏

It said to him, ‘O Arab brother! Look at them, how Allah^-azwj Commanded me to kill them – below your wealth – which is a compensation of your lizard – and Made me to be its protector. Take it!’

فَاسْتَخْرَجَ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ الدَّرَاهِمَ وَ الدَّنَانِيرَ فَلَمْ يُطِقِ احْتِمَالَهَا فَنَادَتْهُ الْأَفْعَى خُذِ الْحَبْلَ الَّذِي فِي وَسَطِكَ وَ شُدَّهُ بِالْكِيسِ‏ ثُمَّ شُدَّ الْحَبْلَ فِي ذَنَبِي فَإِنِّي سَأَجُرُّهُ‏ لَكَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِكَ وَ أَنَا فِيهِ خَادِمُكَ‏ وَ حَارِسُ مَالِكَ هَذَا

The Bedouin took out the Dirhams and the Dinars, but was not able to carry them. The snake called out to him, ‘Take the rope which is your waist and tie it with the two bags. Then tie the rope in my tail, for I shall drag it to your house, and I will be your servant and a guard for this wealth of yours’.

فَجَاءَتِ الْأَفْعَى فَمَا زَالَتْ تَحْرُسُهُ وَ الْمَالَ إِلَى أَنْ فَرَّقَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ فِي ضِيَاعٍ وَ عَقَارٍ وَ بَسَاتِينَ اشْتَرَاهَا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَتِ الْأَفْعَى

The snake came, and it did not cease dragging him and the wealth until the Bedouin spent it in acquiring land, and property, and orchards. Then the snake left’’.[106]
