IN THE NAME OF ALLAH-azwj THE BENEFICENT THE MERCIFUL

كتاب القرائن وفيه من الابواب أحد عشر بابا

The Book of Groupings (And in it are eleven chapters)

1 – باب الثلاثة

Chapter 1 – The (group of) threes

أحمد بن أبى عبد الله البرقي، عن معاوية بن وهب، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: يا معاوية من أعطى ثلاثا لم يحرم ثلاثا، من أعطى الدعاء أعطى الاجابة، ومن أعطى الشكر أعطى الزيادة، ومن أعطى التوكل أعطى الكفاية، إن الله عزوجل يقول: ” ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه، إن الله بالغ أمره “. وقال عزوجل: ” لئن شكرتم لازيدنكم، ولئن كفرتم إن عذابي لشديد “. وقال: ” ادعوني أستجب لكم، إن الذين يستكبرون عن عبادتي سيدخلون جهنم داخرين “.

Ahmad Bin Abdu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Muawiya Bin Wahab,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘O Muawiya! The one who is Given three is not Prohibited from three – The one who is Given the supplication is (also) Given the need; and the one who is Given the appreciation is (also) given the increase (in sustenance); and the one who is Given the reliance (upon Allah-azwj) is (also) Given the sufficiency. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying [65:3] and whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him; surely Allah Attains his purpose; and the Mighty and Majestic Said [14:7] And when your Lord Proclaimed: If you are grateful, I would Increase it more for you, and if you are ungrateful, My Punishment is truly Severe. And Said [40:60] And your Lord says: Call upon Me, I will Answer you; surely those who are too proud to worship Me shall soon enter Hell abased’.[1]

عنه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن عبد الحميد الطائى، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: كتب معى إلى عبد الله بن معاوية وهو بفارس، ” من اتقى الله وقاه، ومن شكره زاده، ومن أقرضه جزاه “.

From him, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Abdul Hameed Al Ta’ai,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘There is a letter with me from Al-Sadiq-asws to Abdullah Bin Muawiya, and he was in Persia: ‘The one who fears Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Protect him; and the one who thanks Him-azwj, He-azwj would Increase (sustenance) for him; and the one who lends (Qarz-e-Hasana) Him-azwj, He-azwj Recompenses him’.[2]

عنه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن منصور بن يونس، عن ابي حمزة الثمالى، عن أبي عبد الله أو علي بن الحسين (ع) قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاث منجيات وثلاث مهلكات، قالوا: يا رسول الله ما المنجيات؟ – قال صلى الله عليه وآله: خوف الله في السر كأنك تراه، فان لم تكن تراه فانه يراك، والعدل في الرضى والغضب، والقصد في الغنى والفقر، قالوا: يا رسول الله فما المهلكات؟ – قال صلى الله عليه وآله: هوى متبع، وشح مطاع، وإعجاب المرء بنفسه.

From him, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mabsour Bin Yunus, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws or Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Three are saviours and three are destroyers’. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What are the saviours?’ He-saww said: ‘Fear of Allah-azwj in the secrecy as if you can see Him-azwj, so if you cannot see Him-azwj, then He-azwj can See you; and the justice during the contentment and the anger; and the moderation during the richness and the poverty’. They said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-azwj! So what are the destroyers?’ He-saww said: ‘Following the desires, and obeying the lusts, and admiring one’s own self’. [3]

عنه، عن هارون بن الجهم، عن أبي جميلة مفضل بن صالح، عن سعد بن طريف، عن أبي جعفر (ع) قال: ثلاث درجات، وثلاث كفارات، وثلاث موبقات، وثلاث منجيات، فأما الدرجات، فافشاء السلام، وإطعام الطعام، والصلوة والناس نيام، وأما الكفارات، فاسباغ الوضوء بالسبرات، والمشى بالليل والنهار إلى الصلوات، والمحافظة على الجماعات، وأما الموبقات، فشح مطاع، وهوى متبع، وإعجاب المرء بنفسه، وأما المنجيات، فخوف الله في السر والعلانية، والقصد في الغنى والفقر، وكلمة العدل في الرضى والسخط.

From him, from Haroun Bin Al Jahm, from Abu Jameela Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘There are three Levels, and three penances, and three mortal sins, and three saviours. As for the three Levels – Disclosure of the greetings, and the feeding of the food, and the Praying whilst the people are sleeping. And as for the penances – Performing the ablution with the perfection, and the walking day and night to the Prayers, and the preservation of the Community; and as for the mortal sins – Following the desires, and obeying the lusts, and admiring one’s own self’.[4]

عنه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن أبي عبد الله، عن آبائه، عن علي (ع) قال: ثلاث منجيات، تكف لسانك، وتبكى على خطيئتك، ويسعك بيتك.

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Ali-asws having said: ‘There are three saviours – restraining your tongue, and weeping over your sins, and being sufficient for your household’.[5]

عنه، يرفعه إلى سلمان (رض) قال: قال: أضحكتني ثلاث، وأبكتني ثلاث، فأما الثلاث التى أبكتني ففراق الاحبة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وحزبه، والهول عند غمرات الموت، والوقوف بين يدى رب العالمين يوم تكون السريرة علانية، لا أدرى إلى الجنة أصير أم إلى النار؟ وأما الثلاث التي أضحكتني، فغافل ليس بمغفول عنه، وطالب الدنيا والموت يطلبه، وضاحك ملء فيه لا يدرى أراض عنه سيده أم ساخط عليه.

From him, raising it to

Salman-as having said, ‘Three (things) make me-as laugh, and three (things) make me-as cry. So as for the three which make me-as cry – so it is the separation of the loved ones, Rasool-Allah-saww and his-saww group, and the horror at the throes of death, and the pausing in front of the Lord-azwj of the Worlds on a Day in which the secrets would become public. I-as do not know whether I-as would be going to the Paradise or the Fire? And as for the three which make me-as laugh – so it is the oblivious one with whom (Allah-azwj) is not Oblivious from, and the seeker of the world and the death is seeking him, and the laughing one who does not know whether his Master-azwj is Pleased with him or Angry with him’.[6]

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي اليقطينى، عن محمد بن سنان، عن أبي الجارود، عن أبي هارون العبدي قال: سمعته يقول: أعجبتني ثلاث، وثلاث أحزنتنى، فأما اللواتى أعجبتني، فطالب الدنيا والموت يطلبه، وغافل لا يغفل عنه، وضاحك ملء فيه وجهنم وراء ظهره لم يأته ثقة ببراءته.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Yaqteeny, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud, from Abu Haroun Al Abady who said said,

‘I heard him-asws (6th Imam-asws) saying: ‘Three make me-asws wonder, and three grieve me-asws. So as for those who make me-asws wonder are – the seeker of the world and the death is seeking him, and the oblivious one from whom (Allah-azwj is not Oblivious, and the laughing one and the Hell is right behind him. There has not come to him are reliability of freedom from it’.[7]

عنه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن خضر، عمن سمع أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاث من كن فيه أو واحدة منهن كان في ظل عرش الله يوم لا ظل إلا ظلة، رجل أعطى الناس من نفسه ما هو سائلهم لها، ورجل لم يقدم رجلا حتى يعلم أن ذلك لله رضى أو يحبس، ورجل لم يعب أخاه المسلم بعيب حتى ينفى ذلك العيب عن نفسه، فانه لا ينتفى عنه عيب إلا بداله عيب، وكفى بالمرء شغلا بنفسه عن الناس.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Isnan, from Khizr, from the one who heard,

Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one in whom, is at least one of these, would be under the Shade of the Throne of Allah-azwj on the Day of Judgement when there will be no shade except for that Shade – A man who gives from himself what he has been asked for, and a man who does not precede men until he knows that it is for the Pleasure of Allah-azwj or he should restrain (himself); and a man who does not fault his Muslim brother with a fault until he denies that fault from himself, for a fault is not negated from him until it is exchanged for a fault, and the self-sufficiency of a person with an occupation with himself, from the people’.[8]

عنه، عن ابن سنان، عن أبي الجارود، عن أبي عبيدة، عن أبي جميلة قال سمعت عليا (ع) على منبر الكوفة يقول: أيها الناس ثلاث لا دين لهم، لا دين لمن دان بجحود آية من كتاب الله، ولا دين لمن دان بفرية باطل على الله، ولا دين لمن دان بطاعة من عصى الله تبارك وتعالى،

From him, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud, from Abu Ubeyda, from Abu Jameela who said,

‘I heard Ali-asws upon the Pulpit of Al-Kufa saying: ‘O you people! Three have no Religion for them – there is no Religion for the one who makes a Religion by denying a Verse from the Book of Allah-azwj; and there is no Religion for the one who makes a Religion who labels a falsehood upon Allah-azwj; and there is no Religion for the one who makes a Religion by being obedient to the one who is disobedient to Allah-azwj Blessed and High!’

ثم قال: أيها الناس لا خير في دين لا تفقه فيه، ولا خير في نيا لا تدبر فيها، ولا خير في نسك لا ورع فيه.

Then he-asws said: ‘O you people! There is neither any good in a Religion in which there is no pondering, nor any good in a leadership in which there is no management, nor any good in a ritual in which there is no piety’.[9]

عنه، عمن ذكره، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): الخير كله في ثلاث خصال، في النظر، والسكوت، والكلام، فكل نظر ليس فيه اعتبار فهو سهو، وكل سكوت ليس فيه فكرة فهو غفلة، وكل كلام ليس فيه ذكر فهو لغو، فطوبى لمن كان نظره اعتبارا وسكوته فكرة وكلامه ذكرا، وبكى على خطيئته وآمن الناس شره

From him, from the one who mentioned it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘All of the good is in three qualities – in the consideration, and the silence, and the speech. So every consideration in which there is no regard, so it is an oversight; and every silence in which there is no thinking, so it is oblivion; and every speech in which there is no remembrance (of Allah-azwj), so it is a vanity. So the goodness is for the one who has regard in his consideration, and thinking in his silence, and remembrance in his speech, and he weeps over his sins, and the people would be secure from his evil’.[10]

عنه، عن الحسن بن سيف، عن أخيه علي، عن سليمان بن عمر، عن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه (ع) قال: لا يستكمل عبد حقيقة الايمان حتى يكون فيه خصال ثلاث، التفقه في الدين، وحسن التقدير في المعيشة، والصبر على الرزايا.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Sayf, from his brother Ali, from Suleyman Bin Umar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘The realities of the belief are not completed in a servant until he becomes such that there are in him three qualities – the pondering in the Religion, and the good measurement in the livelihood, and the patience upon the tribulations/difficulties’.[11]

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن عاصم بن حمزة، عن عبد الله بن الحسن، عن أمه فاطمة بنت الحسين قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاث خصال من كن فيه يستكمل خصال الايمان، الذي إذا رضى لم يدخله رضاه في باطل، وإذا غضب لم يخرجه غضبه من الحق، وإذا قدر لم يتعاط ما ليس له.

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Aasim Bin Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Abdullah son of Al-Husayn-asws, from his-asws mother Fatima Bint Muhammad-asws. She-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one in whom there are three qualities, completes the qualities of the Eman (faith) – the one who when he is happy, his happiness does not include him in the falsehood; and when one who is angry, his anger does not exit him from the Truth, and when he has power, he does not take that which is not for him’.[12]

عنه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن أبي عبد الله (ع)، عن آبائه (ع) قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: من لم يكن فيه ثلاث لم يقم له عمل، ورع يحجزه عن معاصي الله، وخلق يدارى به الناس، وحلم يرد به جهل الجاهل.

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws who said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one in whom there are not three (qualities), the deed does not stand for him – piety which does not keep him away from disobedience of Allah-azwj; and morals by which the people can be favoured with; and forebearance by which the ignorance of the ignorant is repulsed’.[13]

عنه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال أمير – المؤمنين (ع): ثلاث من أبواب البر، سخاء التفس، وطيب الكلام، والصبر على الاذى.

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws said: ‘Three are from the Gateways of righteousness – One’s generousity, and the good speech, and the patience upon the harm’.[14]

عنه، رفعه قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): ثلاث من كن فيه زوجه الله من الحور العين كيف شاء، كظم الغيظ، والصبر على السيوف لله، ورجل أشرف على مال حرام فتركه لله.

From him, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘If there are three (qualities) within someone, Rasool-Allah-saww would get him married to the Maiden Houries wheresoever he so desires to – controlling of the anger, and the patience upon the swords for the Sake of Allah-azwj, and a man who comes to forbidden wealth, and avoids it for the Sake of Allah-azwj’.[15]

عنه، عن موسى بن القاسم، عن المحاربي، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ثلاثة إن لم تظلمهم ظلموك، السفلة وزوجتك وخادمك.

From him, from Musa Bin Al Qasim, from Al Maharby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Three (persons) if you are not persuasive to them, they would be unjust to you – villain, and your wife, and your servant’.

وقال: ثلاثة لا ينتصفون من ثلاثة، شريف من وضيع، وحليم من سفيه، وبر من فاجر.

And he-asws said: ‘Three cannot be reformed from three – an honourable one from an abject/hopeless one, and a forebearing one from a fool, and a righteous one from an immoral one’.[16]

– عنه، عن عبد الرحمن بن حماد، عن أبي عمران عمر بن مصعب، عن أبي – حمزة الثمالى، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: العبد بين ثلاث، بلاء وقضاء ونعمة، فعليه للبلاء من الله الصبر فريضة، وعليه للقضاء من الله التسليم فريضة، وعليه للنعمة من الله الشكر فريضة.

From him, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hamaad, from Abu Umran Umar Bin Mas’ab, from his father – Hamza Sumaly who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The servant is in between three (states) – affliction, and pre-determination, and Blessing. So if there is the affliction upon him from Allah-azwj, the patience is Obligatory; and upon him is the pre-determination from Allah-azwj, the submission is an Obligation; and upon him is the Blessing from Allah-azwj, the appreciation is an Obligation’.[17]

عنه، رفعه قال: إن أمير المؤمنين (ع) صعد المنبر بالكوفة فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، ثم قال: أيها الناس إن الذنوب ثلاثة، ثم أمسك، فقال له حبة العرنى: يا أمير المؤمنين قلت: ” الذنوب ثلاثة ” ثم أمسكت، فقال له: ما ذكرتها إلا وأنا أريد أن أفسرها ولكنه عرض لى بهر حال بينى وبين الكلام، نعم، الذنوب ثلاثة، فذنب مغفور وذنب غير مغفور، وذنب نرجو لصاحبه ونخاف عليه،

From him, raising it, said,

‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws ascended the Pulpit at Al-Kufa, so he-asws Praised Allah-azwj and Extolled Him-azwj, then said: ‘O you people! The sins are three!’ Then he-asws was silent. So Habat Al-Arny said to him-asws, ‘O Amir-ul-Momineen-asws! You-asws said, ‘The sins are three’, then you-asws were silent’. So he-asws said to him: ‘I-asws did not mention it except that I-asws intended to explain it, but it has been presented to me-asws in between the speech. Yes, the sins are three – the Forgiveable sins, and the Unforgiveable sins, and the sins which its committer except that his Master-azwj (will Forgive) and fears Him-azwj’.

قيل: يا أمير المؤمنين فبينها لنا قال: نعم، أما الذنب المغفور فعبد عاقبه الله على ذنبه في الدنيا فالله أحكم وأكرم أن يعاقب عبده مرتين،

It was said, ‘O Amir-ul-Momineen-asws! So explain these to us’. He-asws said: ‘Yes. As for the Forgiveable sins, so the servant is Punished by Allah-azwj for these sins in the world, and Allah-azwj is more Wise and more benevolent that He-azwj would Punish His-azwj servant twice.

وأما الذنب الذي لا يغفر فظلم العباد بعضهم لبعض، إن الله تبارك وتعالى إذا برز لخلقه أقسم قسما على نفسه فقال: وعزتي وجلالى لا يجوزنى ظلم ظالم ولو كف بكف ولو مسحة بكف ونطحة ما بين الشاة القرناء إلى الشاة الجماء فيقتص الله للعباد بعضهم من بعض حتى لا يبقى لاحد عند أحد مظلمة، ثم يبعثهم الله إلى الحساب،

And as for the Unforgiveable sins, so the servants are unjust to each other. When Allah-azwj Blessed and High Emerged His-azwj creatures, Swore a Swear to Himself-azwj. So He-azwj Said: “By My-azwj Honour and by My-azwj Majestic! I-azwj will not Permit the injustice of the unjust, even though it may be ‘a palm by a palm’, even if (one is) touched by a palm (branch) and the butting between one sheep and the other sheep”. Therefore Allah-azwj would Survey for the servants, some from the others until there does not remain any one with whom there is an injustice. Then Allah-azwj would Send them to the Reckoning.

وأما الذنب الثالث فذنب ستره الله على عبده ورزقه التوبة فأصبح خاشعا من ذنبه، راجيا لربه، فنحن له كما هو لنفسه، نرجو له الرحمة، ونخاف عليه العقاب.

And as for the third (category) of sin – so it is a sin which Allah-azwj Veils for His-azwj servant, and Gives him the inclination for the repentance. Thus, he becomes humble due to his sin, hopeful to his Lord-azwj.  So we are to Him-azwj just as He-azwj is to Himself-azwj.

I-saww bequeath to you with a bequest, so memorise it from me-saww’. So Ali-asws said to him-saww: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww, bequeath it’. So from what was in his-saww bequest was that he-saww said: ‘The conviction is that you-asws do not be pleased with anyone (upon whom is) the Anger of Allah-azwj, nor should you-asws praise anyone for what Allah-azwj has Given you-asws, nor condemn anyone upon what Allah-azwj has not Given you, for the sustenance, does not flow by the greed of the greedy one, nor will it change by the dislike of the one who dislikes it. Allah-azwj, by His-azwj Wisdom has Made the soul and the happiness to be in the conviction and the contentment, and Made worries and grief to be in the doubt and the anger.

يا علي إنه لا فقر أشد من الجهل، ولا مال أعود من العقل، ولا وحدة أوحش من العجب، ولا مظاهرة أوثق من المشاورة، ولا عقل كالتدبير، ولا ورع كالكف، ولا حسب كحسن الخلق، ولا عبادة كالتفكر،

O Ali-asws! There is no poverty more intense than the ignorance, and no wealth more of a provision than the intellect, and no loneliness more monstrous than the astonishment, nor any demonstration more reliable than the consultation, nor is there any intellect like the pondering, nor any piety like the restraint, nor any nobility like the nobility of the morals, nor any worship like the thinking.

يا علي آفة الحديث الكذب، وآفة العلم النسيان، وآفة العبادة الفترة، وآفة الظرف الصلف، وآفة السماحة المن، وآفة الشجاعة البغى، وآفة الجمال الخيلاء، وآفة الحسب الفخر، يا علي إنك لا تزال بخير ما حفظت وصيتي، أنت مع الحق والحق معك.

O Ali-asws! The scourge/curse of the Hadeeth is the lie, and the scourge of the knowledge is the forgetfulness, and the scourge of the worship is the weakness, and the scourge of the tolerance is the favouritism, and the scourge of the bravery is the rebellion, and the scourge of the beauty is the pomp, and the scourge of the nobility is the pride. O Ali-asws! You-asws will never to be without goodness from what you-asws have memorised of my-saww bequest. You-asws are with the Truth, and the Truth is with you-asws’.[47]

عنه، عن محمد بن إسمعيل، رفعه إلى أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: أوصيك يا علي في نفسك بخصال فاحفظها، اللهم أعنه، الاولى الصدق فلا يخرج من فيك كذب أبدا، والثانية الورع فلا تجترئ على خيانة أبدا، والثالثة الخوف من الله كأنك تراه، والرابعة البكاء لله، يبنى لك بكل دمعة بيت في الجنة، والخامسة بذلك مالك و دمك دون دينك، والسادسة الاخذ بسنتى في صلوتى وصومي وصدقتي،

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, raising it to

Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww bequeath to you-asws, O Ali-asws, with regards to yourself-asws, with certain qualities, therefore memorise it. Our Allah-azwj! Help him-asws (to memorise it)! The first is the truthfulness, so do not let a lie come out from your-asws mouth, ever. And the second is the piety, so do not incline towards the betrayal, ever. And the third is the fear of Allah-azwj as if you-asws can see Him-azwj’. The fourth is the wailing for the Sake of Allah-azwj, there shall be Built for you-asws a house in the Paradise for every teardrop. The fifth is spending your-asws wealth and your-asws blood besides for your-asws Religion. And the sixth, is the taking to my-saww Sunnah regarding my-saww Prayer, and my-saww Fasting, and my-saww charity’.

فأما الصيام فثلاثة أيام في الشهر، الخميس في أول الشهر، والاربعاء في وسط الشهر، والخميس في آخر الشهر، والصدقة بجهدك حتى تقول: قد أسرفت ولم تسرف، وعليك بصلوة الليل (يكررها أربعا) وعليك بصلوة الزوال، وعليك برفع يديك إلى ربك وكثرة تقلبها، وعليك بتلاوة القرآن على كل حال، وعليك بالسواك لكل وضوء، وعليك بمحاسن الاخلاق فارتكبها، وعليك بمساوى الاخلاق فاجتنبها، فان لم تفعل فلا تلومن إلا نفسك.

So as for the Fasting, so there are the three days in the month – the Thursday during the beginning of the month, and the Wednesday in the middle of the month, and the Thursday at the end of the month. And the charity by your-asws effort until you-asws will be saying: ‘I-asws have been extravagant’, and you-asws have not been extravagant. And upon you is the night Prayer (repeated it four times), and upon you-asws is the afternoon Prayer. And upon you-asws is that you-asws raise your-asws hands to your-asws Lord-azwj and turn towards Him-azwj frequently. And it is upon you-asws to recite the Quran in every situation. And it is upon you-asws to brush your-asws teeth for every ablution. And it is upon you-asws to have beautiful morals, therefore commit these. And it is upon you-asws to keep aside from evil manners. Therefore if you-asws were not to do these, do not blame (anyone) except yourself-asws’.[48]

عنه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى بن عمران الحلبي، عن أيوب بن عطية الحذاء، قال سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: إن عليا (ع) وجد كتابا في قراب سيف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله مثل الاصبع، فيه: إن أعتى الناس على الله القاتل غير قاتله، والضارب غير ضاربه، ومن والى غير مواليه فقد كفر بما أنزل الله على محمد صلى الله عليه وآله، ومن أحدث حدثا أو آوى محدثا فلا يقبل الله منه صرفا ولا عدلا، ولا يحل لمسلم أن يشفع في حد.

From him, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Bin Imran Al Halby, from Ayoub Bin Atiya Al Haza’a who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Ali-asws found written upon the sheath of the sword of Rasool-Allah-saww, like the finger: ‘The people would come against Allah-azwj, the fighter without his fighting, and the striker without his strike, and the master without his slave, so they have disbelieved with what Allah-azwj Revealed unto Muhammad-saww. And the one who narrates something new or supports something new, so Allah-azwj would not Accept from him, neither the change nor the alteration, and it is not Permissible for a Muslim that he should intercede for his penalty’.[49]

11 – وصايا أهل بيته (ع)

Chapter 11 – Bequest of the People -asws of the Household

عنه، عن أحمد بن محمد، قال: حدثنا علي بن حديد، عن أبي أسامة، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: عليكم بتقوى الله والورع، والاجتهاد، وصدق الحديث، وأداء الامانة، وحسن الخلق، وحسن الجوار، وكونوا دعاة إلى أنفسكم بغير ألسنتكم بطول الركوع والسجود، فان أحدكم إذا أطال الركوع والسجود هتف إبليس من خلفه وقال: يا ويلتاه أطاعوا وعصيت، وسجدوا وأبيت.

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Abu Asama who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘It is upon you to fear Allah-azwj and the piety, and the striving, and truthful discussion, and the fulfilment of the trust, and good morals, and good neighbourhood. And become an inviter to yourselves without (using) your tongues by the prolonged bowings and the prostrations. So when one of you prolongs the bowings and the prostration, Iblees-la shrieks from behind him and says: ‘O woe! He obeyed and I-la disobeyed, and he prostrated and I-la refused’.[50]

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: أوصيكم بتقوى الله، ولا تحملوا الناس على أكتافكم فتذلوا، إن الله تبارك وتعالى يقول في كتابه: ” وقولوا للناس حسنا ”

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘I-asws bequest you all to fear Allah-azwj, and do not carry the people upon your shoulders, (or else) you will be humiliated. Allah-azwj Blessed and High is Saying in His-azwj Book [2:83] and you shall speak to the people good words.

ثم قال: عودوا مرضاهم، واشهدوا جنائزهم، واشهدوا لهم وعليهم، وصلوا معهم في مساجدهم:

Then he-asws said: ‘Console their sick ones, and witness their funerals, and testify for them and against them, and Pray with them in their Masjids’.

ثم قال: أي شئ أشد على قوم يزعمون أنهم يأتمون بقوم فيأمرونهم وينهونهم فلا يقبلون منهم، ويذيعون حديثهم عند عدوهم فيأتى عدوهم إلينا فيقولون لنا: إن قوما يقولون ويروون عنكم كذا وكذا فنحن نقول: إنا برآء ممن يقول هذا، فيقع عليهم البراءة.

Then he-asws said: ‘Which thing is more difficult upon a people who are claiming that they are coming to a people so they are enjoining them (the good) and forbidding them (the evil). It will not be Acceptable from them, and they are wasting their Hadeeth with their enemies. So their enemies come to us-asws, and they are saying to us-asws, ‘A people are saying and are reporting from you-asws such and such’. So we-asws are saying: ‘We are away from the ones who are saying this. So the Tabarra occurs upon them’.[51]

ثم كتاب القرائن بحمد الله ومنه وصلى الله على محمد وآله.

This completes the Book of the Groupings by the Praise of Allah-azwj and from Him-azwj, and Blessings of Allah-azwj be upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws.

When he sees that he cannot get rid of it from his hands, and it has bitten him just like a red ring, then it would go to his neck and wind itself around it like a collar round his neck. And these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [3:180] they shall have what they were niggardly of to cleave to their necks on the Day of Judgement.

Upon him was a trouser and a wrap around and shoes (were like those of the) Arabs. Do not harbour hatred against Ali-asws’. Then I said to him, ‘Perhaps he was from the ones who belies the Fountain? By Allah-azwj! Even if I were to hate him-asws (Ali-asws) I would be returned from the Fountain, and would die of thirst (in the Hereafter)’.[240]

عنه، عن محمد بن حسان السلمى، عن محمد بن جعفر، عن أبيه عليهما السلام، قال: نزل جبرئيل عليه السلام على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله، فقال: يا محمد، السلام يقرءك السلام ويقول: ” خلقت السماوات السبع وما فيهن، والارضين السبع وما عليهن، وما خلقت خلقا أعظم من الركن والمقام، ولو أن عبدا دعاني منذ خلقت السماوات والارضين ثم لقيني جاحدا لولاية علي لاكببته في سقر “.

But rather, he hid behind these two words (testimonies) to stop his blood being shed, or pays tributes but evasively’.

ثم قال: من أبغضنا أهل البيت بعثه الله يهوديا، قيل: وكيف يا رسول الله؟ – قال: ان أدرك الدجال آمن به.

From Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ibn Abu Najran, from Aasim, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘Ali-asws Ibn Al-Husayn-asws said to us: ‘Which is the most meritorious of the remaining (things)?’ So I said, ‘Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the son-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’. So he-asws said: ‘The most meritorious of the remaining (things) is what is in between Al-Rukn and Al-Maqaam. And even if a man were to have the age of what Noah-as had among his-as people, a thousand years less fifty years (950 years), Fasting during the day, and standing for the Salat during the night, in that place, and meet Allah-azwj without our-asws Wilayah, nothing would benefit him’.[246]

‘I was in the presence of Abu Ja’far-asws, and in the tent were around fifty men. So he-asws sat after being silent from us for a long time, then he-asws said: ‘What is the matter with you all. Do you think I-asws am a Prophet-as of Allah-azwj? No, by Allah-azwj, I-asws am not like that. But, for me-asws, there is nearness from Rasool-Allah-saww as a descendant. So the one who maintains good relations with us-asws, Allah-azwj would Maintain good relations with him. And the one who loves us-asws, Allah-azwj would Love him. And the one who sanctifies us-asws, Allah-azwj would Sanctify him’.

أتدرون اي البقاع أفضل عند الله منزلة، فلم يتكلم منا أحد وكان هو الراد على نفسه فقال: ذاك مكة الحرام التي رضيها الله لنفسه حرما وعجل بيته فيها،

Do you know which is the highest of the remaining things by status, in the Presence of Allah-azwj?’ So no one from us spoke, and it was such that he-asws was responding upon himself-asws, so he-asws said: ‘That is the Sacred Makks which Allah-azwj is Pleased for Himself-azwj as a Sanctuary and Made His-azwj House to be in it’.

Then he-asws said: ‘Do you know which is the highest of the remaining things in Makkah, in the Presence of Allah-azwj, by sanctity?’ So no one from us spoke, and it was such that he-asws was responding upon himself-asws, so he-asws said: ‘That is the Sacred Masjid’.

ثم قال: أتدون أي البقعة في – المسجد الحرام أعظم حرمة عند الله؟ فلم يتكلم منا أحد، فكان هو الراد على نفسه، فقال: ذاك بين الركن والحجر الاسود وذلك باب الكعبة، وذلك حطيم اسماعيل، الذي كان يزود فيه غنيماته ويصلي فيه،

Then he-asws said: ‘Which of the remaining things in the Sacred Masjid is greater is sanctity in the Presence of Allah-azwj?’ So no one from us spoke, and it was such that he-asws was responding upon himself-asws, so he-asws said: ‘That is which is in between Al-Rukn and the Black Stone (Al-Hajar Al-Aswad), and that is the Door of the Kabah’. And that is the enclosure of Ismail in whch he-as used to store his-as possessions, and Salat in it.

والله لو أن عبدا صف قدميه في ذلك المكان قائم الليل مصليا حتى يجيئه النهار، وصائم النهار حتى يجيئه الليل، ثم لم يعرف لنا حقنا وحرمتنا أهل البيت لم يقبل الله منه شيئا أبدا.

By Allah-azwj! Even if a servant were to line up his feet in that very place, standing the night in Salat until the day comes to him, and Fasting the day until the nights comes to him, then he does not recognise our-asws rights, and our-asws sanctity of the People-asws of the Household, Allah-azwj will not Accept from him anything, ever!’[247]

From him, from Ismail Bin Mahran, from a man, from Abu Al Ma’aza, from Zareeh, from Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘From us-asws is the Imam-asws the obedience to whom is Obligatory. The one who fights against him-asws, would die as a Jew or a Christian. By Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj has not Left the earth, since Adam-as passed away without therein being an Imam-asws Guiding to Allah-azwj, a Proof upon the servants. The one who neglects him-asws is destroyed, and the one who necessitates him-asws upon himself, would have a right upon Allah-azwj to be Saved’.[248]

عنه، عن عبد العظيم بن عبد الله وكان مرضيا، عن محمد بن عمر، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن عيسى بن السري أبي اليسع، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: من مات لا يعرف امامه مات ميتة جاهلية؟ قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: أحوج ما يكون العبد إلى معرفته إذا بلغ نفسه هذه، (وأشار إلى صدره يقول:) لقد كنت على أمر حسن.

ومثله كمثل شاة لا راعى لها ضلت عن راعيها وقطيعها فتاهت ذاهبة وجائية يومها، فلما أن جنها الليل بصرت بقطيع غنم مع راعيها فجاءت إليها فباتت معها في ربضتها متحيرة تطلب راعيها وقطيعها

And his example is like the example of a sheep with no shepherd for it. It strays from its herd and is cut off from its guardian. So it gets lost on its way on its day. So when the night falls, it sees a flock of sheep with its shepherd, so she comes to it and sleeps with them in their pen, confused and looking for its shepherd and its own flock.

فبصرت بسرح قطيع غنم آخر فعمدت نحوه وحنت إليها فصاح بها الراعى ألحقى بقطيعك فانك تائهة متحيرة قد ضللت عن راعيك وقطيعك

So it sees another flock of sheep. So it goes near to it, but the shepherd shouts at it, ‘Go and meet up with your flock, for you are lost and confused, having strayed from your shepherd and your flock.

فهجمت ذعرة متحيرة لا راعى لها يرشدها إلى مرعاها أو يردها فبينا هي كذلك إذا اغتنم الذئب ضيعتها فأكلها،

So it gets attacked, and becomes confused having no shepherd for it to guide it to its meadow, or repulse (the attacker) from it. So whilst it is in the middle of that, when the wolf comes over, seizes it and eats it.

وهكذا يا محمد بن مسلم من أصبح من هذه الامة ولا امام له من الله عادل أصبح تائها متحيرا، ان مات على حاله تلك مات ميتة كفر ونفاق واعلم يا محمد أن ائمة الحق وأتباعهم على دين الله إلى آخره.

And like this, O Muhammad Bin Muslim, is what the one from this community has become, and he has no just Imam-asws from Allah-azwj, for himself, so he has becomes lost, confused. If he were to die upon this state of his, that death would be a death of disbelief, and hypocrisy.

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When the people of Lut-as did what they did, the earth wept to its Lord-azwj to the extent that its tears reached the sky, and the sky wept to the extent that its tears reached the Throne. So Allah-azwj Revealed to the sky to rain hailstorms upon them, and Revealed unto the earth to submerge with them’.[305]

و عنه: عن عدة من أصحابنا، عن أحمد بن محمد بن خالد، عن محمد بن سعيد، قال: أخبرني زكريا بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن عمرو، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام)، قال: «كان قوم لوط من أفضل قوم خلقهم الله، فطلبهم إبليس الطلب الشديد، و كان من فضلهم و خيرتهم أنهم إذا خرجوا إلى العمل خرجوا بأجمعهم، و تبقى النساء خلفهم، فلم يزل إبليس يعتادهم، فكانوا إذا رجعوا خرب إبليس ما يعملون، فقال بعضهم لبعض: تعالوا نرصد هذا الذي يخرب متاعنا.

And from him, from a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Saeed, from Zakariyya Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Amro,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The people of Lut-as used to be the best of the people Created by Allah-azwj, therefore, Iblees-la sought them with an intense seeking. And from their merits, and their good things was that they used to go out to the work, they would go out altogether, and the women would remain behind them. So, Iblees-la did not cease to be accustomed with them. So whenever they used to return, Iblees-la would spoil whatever they used to work for. So some of them said to the others, ‘Come, let us monitor this one who spoils our provisions’.

فرصدوه فإذا هو غلام أحسن ما يكون من الغلمان، فقالوا له: أنت الذي تخرب متاعنا مرة بعد اخرى، فاجتمع رأيهم على أن يقتلوه، فبيتوه عند رجل، فلما كان الليل صاح، فقال له: ما لك؟ فقال: كان أبي ينومني على بطنه. فقال له: تعال فنم على بطني

So they monitored, and there was a boy, as beautiful as a boy can be from the boys. So they said to him, ‘Are you the one who spoils our provisions time and again?’ So they formed a consensus of their view upon killing him, and so they harboured him with a man, So when it was the night, he started crying, so he said to him, ‘What is the matter with you?’ So he said, ‘My father used sleep me upon his stomach’. So he said to him, ‘Come, so sleep upon my stomach’.

– قال- فلم يزل يدلك الرجل حتى علمه أن يفعل بنفسه، فأولا علمه إبليس، و الثانية علمه هو، ثم انسل ففر منهم، و أصبحوا فجعل الرجل يخبر بما فعل بالغلام، و يعجبهم منه، و هم لا يعرفونه، فوضعوا أيديهم فيه حتى اكتفى الرجال بعضهم ببعض. ثم جعلوا يرصدون مارة الطريق فيفعلون بهم، حي تنكب مدينتهم الناس، ثم تركوا نساءهم و أقبلوا على الغلمان، فلما رأى أنه قد أحكم أمره في الرجال جاء إلى النساء، فصير نفسه امرأة، فقال: إن رجالكن يفعل بعضهم ببعض: قلن: نعم قد رأينا ذلك، و كل ذلك يعظهم لوط ويوصيهم، و إبليس يغويهم حتى استغنى النساء بالنساء.

He-asws said: ‘So the man kept massaging him until he taught him how to do it himself. The first one to teach him was Iblees-la, and the second one was him. Then he-la slipped away from them, and in the morning the man came with the news of what he had done with the young boy, and they were astounded from it, and they did not understand it. So they instered their hands in it until the men were content with each other. Then they started the passers-by and used to do it with them, to the extent that they plagues their cities and its people. Then they avoided their women and used to come to the young boys. So when he (Iblees-la) saw that his-la matter has been decided among the men, he-la came to the women. So he turned himself-la into a woman and said, ‘Your men are doing it with each other’. So they said, ‘Yes, we have seen that’. And all that, Lut-as had advised them against it and exhorted them. And Iblees-la made them go astray to the extent that the women used to satisfy themselves with the women.

فلما كملت عليهم الحجة، بعث الله جبرئيل و ميكائيل و إسرافيل (عليهم السلام) في زي غلمان عليهم أقبية، فمروا بلوط و هو يحرث، فقال: أين تريدون، ما رأيت أجمل منكم قط! فقالوا: إنا رسل سيدنا إلى رب هذه المدينة. قال: أ و لم يبلغ سيدكم ما يفعل أهل هذه المدينة؟ يا بني إنهم و الله يأخذون الرجال فيفعلون بهم حتى يخرج الدم. فقالوا: أمرنا سيدنا أن نمر وسطها. قال: فلي إليكم حاجة؟ قالوا: و ما هي؟ قال: تصبرون ها هنا إلى اختلاط الظلام

So when the Argument against them was completed, Allah-azwj Sent Jibraeel-la, and Mikaeel-la, and Israfeel-as in the attire of young men. So they-as passed by Lut-as and he-as was farming, so he-as said, ‘Where are you-as intending, for I-as have not seen anyone more beautiful than you-as at all!’ So they-as said: ‘We-as are the Messengers Sent by our-as Master-azwj to the lord of this city’. He-as said: ‘Has it not reached your Lord-azwj what the people of this city are indulging in? O my-as sons-as! By Allah-azwj, they are taking to the men, so they are doing it with them until the blood comes out’. So they-as said: ‘Our-as Master-azwj has Commanded us that we-as should pass by in the middle of it’. He-as said: ‘For me-as, there is a need from you-as’. So they-as said: ‘And what is it?’ He-as said: ‘You should patiently await here until the dark’.

– قال- فجلسوا- قال- فبعث ابنته، و قال: جيئي لهم بخبز، و جيئي لهم بماء في القربة، و جيئي لهم عباء يتغطون بها من البرد. فلما أن ذهبت الابنة أقبل المطر بالوادي، فقال لوط: الساعة يذهب بالصبيان الوادي. فقال: قوموا حتى نمضي. و جعل لوط يمشي في أصل الحائط، و جعل جبرئيل و ميكائيل و إسرافيل يمشون وسط الطريق. فقال: يا بني، امشوا هاهنا. فقالوا: أمرنا سيدنا أن نمر في وسطها.

He-asws said: ‘So he-as sent for his-as daughter and said, ‘Come to me-as with some bread for them, and come to me-as with water for them in a canteen, and come to me-as with a robe for them to cover themselves by it from the cold’. So when the daughter went, rain fell upon the valley, so Lut-as said: ‘At this time the young boys would go into the valley. Arise, until we-as go from here’. So Lut-as walked by the wall, and Jibraeel-la, and Mikaeel-la, and Israfeel-as were walking in the middle of the road. So he-as said: ‘O my-as sons-as! Walk over here’. So they-as said: ‘Our Master-azwj has Commanded us-as that we-as should walk in the middle of it’.

و كان لوط يستغنم الظلام، و مر إبليس، فأخذ من حجر امرأة صبيا فطرحه في البئر، فتصايح أهل المدينة كلهم على باب لوط، فلما أن نظروا إلى الغلمان في منزل لوط، قالوا: يا لوط، قد دخلت في عملنا. فقال: هؤلاء ضيفي، فلا تفضحوني في ضيفي. قالوا: هم ثلاثة، خذ واحدا و أعطنا اثنين- قال- فأدخلهم الحجرة، و قال لو أن لي أهل بيت يمنعونني منكم».

And Lut-as was under the cover of darkness, and Ibless-la passed by. So he-la seized a young boy from the chamber of a woman and threw him into the well. So all of the people of the city came yelling at the door of Lut-as. So when they saw the young men in the house of Lut-as, they said, ‘O Lut-as! You-as have (also) entered into our deeds’. So he-as said: ‘These are my-as guests, so do not embarrass me-as with regards to my-as guests’. They said, ‘They are three, so take one and give us two’. So they entered the chamber, and he-as said: ‘If only there were some of my-as family members here, they would have prevented you from me-as’.

قال: «و تدافعوا على الباب، و كسروا باب لوط، و طرحوا لوطا، فقال له جبرئيل: إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ فأخذ كفا من بطحاء، فضرب بها وجوههم، و قال: شاهت الوجوه، فعمي أهل المدينة كلهم، و قال لهم لوط: يا رسل ربي، فما أمركم ربي فيهم؟ قالوا: أمرنا أن نأخذهم بالسحر. قال: فلي إليكم حاجة قالوا: و ما حاجتك؟ قال: تأخذونهم الساعة، فاني أخاف أن يبدو لربي فيهم، فقالوا يا لوط: إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ أَ لَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ لمن يريد أن يأخذ، فخذ أنت بناتك و امض ودع امرأتك».

He-asws said: ‘They jolted at the door, and broke the door of Lut-as, and set aside Lut-as. So Jibraeel-la said to them [11:81] They said: O Lut! We are the Messengers of your Lord; they will never be able to reach you. So he-as grabbed a plam full of sand and struck their faces with it, and said: ‘(Be) ugly of the faces!’ So all the people of the city became blind. And Lut-as said to them-as: ‘O Messengers of my-as Lord-azwj, so what did your-as Lord-azwj Command with regards to them?’ They-as said: ‘He-azwj Commanded us that we-as should seize them at sunrise’. I-as have need to you-as’. So they-as said: ‘And what is it?’ He-as said: ‘Seize them all now, so I-as am afraid that my-as Lord-azwj may Reconsider them’. So they said: ‘O Lut-as! [11:81] surely their appointed time is the morning; is not the morning near? So the ones whom you-as want to take with you-as, so take with yourself-as, your-as daughters and go, and leave your-as wife’.

فقال أبو جعفر (عليه السلام): رحم الله لوطا، لو يدري من معه في الحجرة لعلم أنه منصور حيث يقول: لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ أي ركن أشد من جبرئيل معه في الحجرة! فقال الله عز و جل لمحمد (صلى الله عليه و آله) وَ ما هِيَ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ بِبَعِيدٍ من ظالمي أمتك، إن علموا ما عمل قوم لوط».

So Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy on Lut-as. Had he-as known the ones who were with him-as in the chamber, he-as would have known that he-as is a Supported one, where he-as said [11:80] He said: Ah! If only I had power to suppress you, rather I shall have recourse to a strong support, i.e., a support stronger than Jibraeel-la who was with him-as in the chamber! So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to Muhammad-saww [11:83] Marked (for Punishment) with your Lord and it is not far off from the unjust, the unjust ones from your-saww community, if they were to do what the people of Lut-as did’.

قال: «و قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه و آله): من ألح في وطء الرجال لم يمت حتى يدعو الرجال إلى نفسه».

He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who insisted in having intercourse with the men, would not die until he calls the men to himself (for intercourse)’.[306]

وروى عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في رجل لعب بغلام، قال: إذا أوقب لم تحل له أخته أبدا،

And it has been reported

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding a man who played with a young boy. He-asws said: ‘When he enters into him, his sister would not be lawful to him, ever.

وقال عليه السلام: لو كان ينبغى لاحد أن يرجم مرتين لرجم اللوطى مرتين.

And he-asws said: ‘If it was befitting for anyone to be stoned twice, the sodomist would be stoned twice’.

وقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام: اللواط ما دون الدبر فهو لوطي والدبر فهو الكفر بالله.

And Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws said: ‘The sodomy what is besides the anus, so he is a sodomist, and the (entering the) anus, so he is a disbeliever with Allah-azwj’.[307]

So he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has not Tested anyone with an affliction and there was a need for him in it’. Then he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws said: Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “By My-azwj Honour and My-azwj Majesty, he will not sit upon its brocade and its silk, the one who lets (men) come into his behind’.[308]

وبهذا الاسناد قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: كتب خالد إلى أبي بكر ” سلام عليك، أما بعد فانى أتيت برجل قامت عليه البينة أنه يؤتى في دبره كما يؤتى المرأة ” فاستشار فيه أبو بكر، فقالوا اقتلوه، فاستشار أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام، فقال: أحرقه بالنار، فان العرب لا ترى القتل شيئا، قال لعثمان: ما تقول؟ – قال: أقول: ما قال علي، تحرقه بالنار، قال أبو بكر: وأنا مع قولكما، وكتب إلى خالد: أن أحرقه بالنار فأحرقه.

So Abu Bakr held a consultation with regards to it. So they said, ‘Kill him’. He consulted Amir-ul-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Incinerate him with the fire, for the Arab does not view the killing as anything’. He said to Usman, ‘What are you saying?’ He said, ‘I say what Ali-asws said. Incinerate him with the fire’. Abu Bakr said, ‘And I am (in agreement) with the saying of the two of you. And he wrote to Khalid, ‘Incinerate him with the fire’. So he had him incinerated’.[309]
