Chapter 1: (About) What Allah Blessed And High Created The Believer From His Light

– 1باب ما خلق ﷲ تبارك وتعالى المؤمن من نوره

أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن سليمان بن جعفر الجعفري، عن أبي الحسن الرضا عليه السلام، قال: قال لي :يا سليمان، ان الله تبارك وتعالى خلق المؤمن من نوره، وصبغهم في رحمته، وأخذ ميثاقهم لنا بالولاية، فالمؤمن أخو المؤمن لابيه وأمه، أبوه النور وأمه الرحمة، فاتقوا فراسة المؤمن، فانه ينظر بنور الله الذي خلق منه ."

Ahmad Ibn Abu Abd Allah Al-Barqy, from his father, from Suleyman Ibn Ja’far Al-Ja’fary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hasan Ar-Ridha’ (‘a), ‘He (‘a) said to me: ‘O Suleyman! Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Created the Believer from His (azwj) Noor, and Coloured them with His (azwj) Mercy, and Took their Covenant for us with the Wilayah. So the Believer is a brother of the Believer to (as of the same) father and the mother. His father is the Noor (the Light) and his mother is the Mercy. Therefore, fear the insight of the Believer, for he looks by the Noor of Allah (azwj) from which He (azwj) has been Created’1.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن محمد بن الفضيل، عن أبي حمزة الثمالى، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: ان ﷲ تبارك وتعالى أجرى في المؤمن من ريح روح ﷲ وﷲ تبارك وتعالى يقول: "رحماء بينهم".

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Muhammad Ibn Al-Fudha’il, from Abu Hamza Ath-Thumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘Allah, Blessed and High, Caused to flow within the Believer from a wind, a Spirit of Allah (azwj), and Allah (azwj) Blessed and High is Saying: “[The Believers are] compassionate among themselves” (48:29)’2.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن المفضل بن عمر، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، قال: ان الله تبارك وتعالى خلق المؤمن من نور عظمته وجلال كبريائه، فمن طعن على المؤمن أورد عليه فقد رد على الله في عرشه وليس هو من الله في ولاية، وانما هو شرك شيطان.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Ibn Sinan, from Al-Mufazzal Ibn Umar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Created the Believer from the Noor (Light) of His (azwj) Magnificence, and the Majesty of His (azwj) Greatness. So, the one who insults a Believer refuting against him, so he has refuted against Allah (azwj) in His (azwj) Throne, and he is not from Allah (azwj) regarding Wilayah, but rather he is an associate of the Satan’3.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن فضال، عن محمد، عن أبي حمزة الثمالى، قال: سمعت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام يقول: لو كشف الغطاء عن الناس فنظروا إلى وصل ما بين ﷲ وبين المؤمن خضعت للمؤمن رقابهم، وتسهلت له أمورهم، ولانت طاعتهم، ولو نظروا إلى مردود الاعمال من السماء لقالوا: ما يقبل ﷲ من أحد عملا.

From him, from his father, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Muhammad, from Abu Hamza Ath-Thumaly, said, ‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying:

‘If only the covering would be uncovered from the people, they would (be able to) look at what transpires between Allah (azwj) and the Believer. The necks of the Believers Fastened, and their affairs being Caused to be easy, and their obedience Made to be known.

And if the people were to look at the repelling of the deeds from the sky they would be saying, ‘Allah (azwj) does not Accept the deeds from anyone’4.

Chapter 2: Creation Of The Believer From Illiyeen

- 2باب خلق المؤمن من عليين

أحمد، عن أبيه، عن أبي نهشل، قال: حدثنى محمد بن اسماعيل، عن أبي - حمزة الثمالى، قال: سمعت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام يقول: ان ﷲ تبارك وتعالى خلقنا من أعلى عليين، وخلق قلوب شيعتنا مما خلقنا منه، وخلق أبدانهم من دون ذلك، فقلوبهم تهوى الينا، لانها خلقت مما خلقنا منه، ثم تلا هذه الآية: " كلا ان كتاب الابرار لفى عليين، وما أدريك ما عليون، كتاب مرقوم يشهده المقربون ".

Ahmad, from his father, from Abu Nahshal, from Muhammad Ibn Isma’il, from Abu Hamza Ath-Thumaly who said,

‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Created us from the High Illiyeen, and Created the hearts of our (‘a) Shi’a from what He (azwj) Created us from, and Created their bodies from besides that. Their hearts incline towards us, because these have been Created from what we (‘a) have been Created from’. Then he (‘a) recited these Verses: But! “Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyeen” (83:18); “And what will make you know what the highest Iliyeen is?” (83:19); “It is a written Book” (83:20); “Those of Proximity witness it” (83:21)’.5

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى الجهنى، عن ربعي بن عبد ﷲ الهذلي، عمن ذكره، عن علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام، قال: ان ﷲ خلق النبيين من طينة عليين قلوبهم وأبدانهم، وخلق قلوب المؤمنين من تلك الطينة وخلق أبدان المؤمنين من دون ذلك.

From him, from his father, from Hammad Ibn ‘Isa Al-Jahny, from Rabi’e Ibn Abd Allah Al-Hazly, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (‘a) having said: ‘Allah (azwj) Created the Prophets (‘a), their (‘a) hearts and their bodies, from the clay of Illiyeen; and Created the hearts of the Believer from that very clay, and Created the bodies of the Believers from besides that’6.

Chapter 3: Creation Of The Believers From The Clay Of The Prophets

- 3باب خلق المؤمن من طينة الانبياء

عنه، عن أبيه، عن صالح بن سهل الهمداني، قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: جعلت فداك من أي شئ خلق ﷲ طينة المؤمن؟ - قال: من طينة الانبياء فلن ينجس أبدا.

From him, from his father, from Salih Ibn Sahl Al-Hamdany who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘May I be sacrificed for you! From which thing did Allah (azwj) Creat the clay of the Believer?’ He (‘a) said: ‘From the clay of the Prophets (‘a), so they would never be unclean, ever!7’

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن صالح بن سهل من أهل همدان، قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: المؤمنون من طينة الانبياء؟ - قال: نعم.

From him, from his father, from Salih Ibn Sahl, from a person of Hamdan who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘The Believers are from the clay of the Prophets (‘a)?’

He (‘a) said: ‘Yes’8.

عنه، عن أبيه وابن أبي نجران، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن حريز، عن زرارة ومحمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: المؤمن لا ينجسه شئ.

From him, from his father and Ibn Abu Najran, from Hammad Ibn ‘Isa, from Hareyz, from Zarara and Muhammad Ibn Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘For the Believer, nothing makes him to be unclean’9.

Chapter 4: Creation Of The Believer From The Clay Of The Gardens (Of Paradise)

- 4باب خلق المؤمن من طينة الجنا ن

عنه، عن أبيه، عن فضالة بن أيوب، عن عمرو بن أبان الكلبي، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، قال: تنفست بين يدي أبي جعفر عليه السلام، ثم قلت: يابن رسول الله، أهتم من غير مصيبة تصيبني أو أمر ينزل بي حتى يعرف ذلك أهلي في وجهي ويعرفه صديقي، قال: نعم يا جابر، قلت: ومم ذاك يابن رسول الله؟ - قال: وما تصنع بذاك؟ - قلت: أحب أن أعلمه، فقال: يا جابر، ان الله خلق المؤمن من طينة الجنان، وأجرى فيهم من ريح روحه فلذلك، المؤمن أخو المؤمن لابيه وأمه، فإذا أصاب تلك الارواح في بلد من البلدان شئ حزنت عليه الارواح لانها منه.

From him, from his father, from Fazalat Ibn Ayoub, from Amr Ibn Abaan Al-Kalby,

(It has been narrated) from Jabir Ibn Yazid Al-Ju’fy who said, ‘I sighed in front of Abu Ja’far (‘a), then I said, ‘O son (‘a) of Rasul Allah (S)! I get aggrieved without any difficulty having struck me, or a matter having descended upon me, to the extent that my family members recognise that in my face, and my friends (also) recognise it’.

The Imam (‘a) said: ‘Yes, O Jabir’. I said, ‘And why is that, O son (‘a) of Rasul Allah (S)?’ He (‘a) said: ‘And what would you do with (knowing) that?’ I said, ‘I would like to know it’. So he (‘a) said: ‘O Jabir! Allah (azwj) Created the Believer from a clay of the Gardens (of Paradise), and Made to flow within them a wind and His (azwj) Spirit, so it is due to that, that the Believer is a brother of the Believer, as of (the same) father and the mother. So if those spirits are hit by something in a city from the cities, the (other) spirits grieve over it, because they are from it (the same origin)’10.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن محمد بن الفضيل، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: المؤمن أخو المؤمن لابيه وأمه، لان ﷲ خلق طينتهما من سبع سماوات وهي من طينة الجنان، ثم تال: "رحماء بينهم." فهل يكون الرحم الا برا وصولا؟.

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Muhammad Ibn Al-Fudha’il, from Abu Hamza Ath-Thumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘The Believer is a brother of the Believer, as (having the same) father and the mother, because Allah (azwj) Created their clay, both of them, from the seventh sky, and it is the clay of the Gardens’. Then he (‘a) recited: “[The Believers are] compassionate among themselves” (48:29). He (‘a) said: ‘So can there be compassion except by righteousness, good relationships?’

(وفي حديث آخر): "وأجرى فيهما من روح رحمته."

(And in another Hadith) – ‘And Made to flow within both of them a Spirit of His (azwj) Mercy’11.

وعنه، عن أبي عبد ﷲ أحمد بن محمد السياري وحسن بن معاوية، عن محمد بن الفضيل، عن أبي حمزة الثمالى، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: المؤمن أخو المؤمن لابيه وأمه، وذلك ان ﷲ تبارك وتعالى خلق المؤمن من طينة جنان السموات وأجرى فيهم من روح رحمته فلذلك هو أخوه لابيه وأمه.

And form him, from Abu Abd Allah Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Al-Sayyari and Hasan Ibn Muawiya, from Muhammad Ibn Al-Fudha’il, from Abu Hamza Ath-Thumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘The Believer is a brother of the Believer (as having the same) the father and the mother, and that is that Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Created the Believer from a clay of the Gardens of the skies and Made to flow within them from a Spirit of His (azwj) Mercy. Therefore, it is due to that, he is his brother (as having the same) the father and the mother’12.

Chapter 5: Creation Of The Believer From A Treasured Clay

- 5باب خلق المؤمن من طينة مخزونة

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، رفعه، عن جابر، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: خلق ﷲ تبارك وتعالى شيعتنا من طينة مخزونة لا يشذ منها شاذ، ولا يدخل فيها داخل أبدا إلى يوم القيامة.

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, raising it, from Jabir,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Created our (‘a) Shi’a from a treasured clay, there is no going astray (and/or abnormality) in him, nor would it enter within him ever, up to the Day of Judgement’13.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن فضالة بن أيوب، عن علي بن حمزة، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي – جعفر عليه السلام، قال: انا وشيعتنا خلقنا من طينة واحدة.

From him, from his father, from Fadhdhalat Ibn Ayoub, from Ali Ibn Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

عنه، عن أبي اسحاق الخفاف، رفعه، قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: المؤمن آنس الانس، جيد الجنس، من طينتا أهل البيت.

From him, from Abu Is’haq Al-Khafaf, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘The Believer is the friendliest of the humans, best of race, from our (‘a) clay of the People (‘a) of the Household’15.

Chapter 6: The Covenant

-6باب الميثاق

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن علي بن رئاب، عن بكير بن أعين، قال: كان أبو جعفر عليه السلام يقول: ان الله تبارك وتعالى أخذ ميثاق شيعتنا بالولاية لنا وهم ذر يوم أخذ الميثاق على الذر بالاقرار له بالربوبية ولمحمد صلى الله عليه وآله بالنبوة وعرض على محمد صلى الله عليه وآله أمته في الطين وهم أظلة، وخلقهم من الطينة التي خلق منها آدم، وخلق أرواح شيعتنا قبل أبدانهم بألفى عام، وعرضهم عليه وعرفهم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وعلي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام ونحن نعرفهم في لحن القول.

From him, from Al-Hasan Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Ibn Ra’ib, from Bakeyr Ibn Ayn who said,

‘Abu Ja’far (‘a) was saying: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Took a Covenant from our (‘a) Shi’a with the Wilayah for us, and they were particles, on the day He (azwj) Took the Covenant upon the particles with the acceptance for Him (azwj) with the Lordship, and for Muhammad (S) with the Prophet-hood, and Presented to Muhammad (S), his (‘a) community in the clay, and they were shadows. And Created them from the clay from which Allah (azwj) Created Adam (‘a), and Created the spirits of our (‘a) Shi’a two thousand years before their bodies, and Presented to them and Introduced them to Rasul Allah (S) and Ali Ibn Abu Talib (‘a). And we (‘a) recognise them (Shi’a) from the tone of their speech.

ورواه عثمان بن عيسى، عن أبي الجراح، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، وزاد فيه: "وكل قلب يحن إلى بدنه".

And it has been reported by ‘Utham Ibn ‘Isa, from Abu Al-Jarah, from Abu Ja’far (‘a), and there is an addition to it: ‘And every heart inclines to its body’16.

عنه، عن يحيى بن ابراهيم بن أبي البلاد، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن عمران، عن رجل من أصحابه يقال له عمران، أنه خرج في عمرة زمن الحجاج فقلت له: هل لقيت أبا جعفر عليه السلام؟ - قال: نعم، قلت: فما قال لك؟ - قال: قال لي :يا عمران ما خبر الناس؟ - فقلت: تركت الحجاج يشتم أباك على المنابر (أعنى علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام،) فقال :أعداء الله يبدهون بسبنا، أما انهم لو استطاعوا أن يكونوا من شيعتنا لكانوا ولكنهم لا يستطيعون، ان الله أخذ ميثاقنا وميثاق شيعتنا ونحن وهم أظلة، فلو جهد الناس أن يزيدوا فيهم رجلا أو ينقصوا منهم رجلا ما قدروا عليه.

From him, from Yahya Ibn Ibrahim Ibn Abu Al-Balaad, from his father, from his grandfather, from Imran,

(It has been narrated) from a man from his companions called Imran who went out regarding Umrah during the era of Al-Hajjaj. So I said to him, ‘Did you meet Abu Ja’far (‘a)?’ He said, ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So what did he (‘a) say to you?’ He said, ‘He (‘a) said to me: ‘O Imran! What is the news of the people?’ So I said, ‘I left Al-Hajjaj insulting your forefather (‘a) upon the Pulpit (meaning Ali Ibn Abu Talib (‘a)). So he (‘a) said: ‘The enemies of Allah (azwj) instinctively insult us. But, had they had been able to become from our (‘a) Shi’a, they would have been so, but they are not able to. Allah (azwj) Took our (‘a) Covenant and the Covenant of our (‘a) Shi’a, and us and they were shadows. Even if the people were to strive that they should increase among them a (single) man, or decrease from them a (single) man, they would not be able to do so’17.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن القاسم بن محمد، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: لا تخاصموا الناس، فان الناس لو استطاعوا أن يحبونا لاحبونا، ان ﷲ أخذ ميثاق الناس، فلا يزيد فيهم أحد أبدا ولا ينقض منهم أحد أبدا

From him, from his father, from Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad, from Ali Ibn Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘Do not argue with the people (in religion), for the people, if they had the ability to come to us, they would have come to us. Allah (azwj) Took a Covenant with the people, so there would not increase among them a (single) man, ever, nor decrease from then anyone, ever’18.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن معاوية، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لقد أسرى بي فأوحى الله الي من وراء الحجاب ما أوحى، وشافهني من دونه بما شافهني، فكان فيما شافهني أن قال: يا محمد، من أذل لي وليا فقد أرصد لي بالمحاربة ومن حاربنى حاربته، قال: فقلت: يا رب ومن وليك هذا؟ - فقد علمت أنه من حاربك حاربته، فقال: ذلك من أخذت ميثاقه لك ولوصيك ولورثتكما بالولاية

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Muawiya,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘I went on/to the ascension, so Allah (azwj) Revealed unto me from behind the Veil, what He (azwj) Revealed, and Spoke with me from besides Him (azwj) with what He (azwj) Spoke to me. So, with regards to what He (azwj) Spoke to me was that He (S) Said: “O Muhammad (S)! The humblest one for Me (azwj) is a Guardian (‘a), Allocated to Me (azwj) for the wars, and the one who battles against Me (azwj), he (‘a) (My Hujjat (‘a)) would battle against him’.

So, I said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! And who this Guardian (‘a) of Yours (azwj)? So that I know that he (‘a) is the one who is fighting Your (azwj) battles’. So He (azwj) Said: “He (‘a) is the one for whom I (azwj) Covenanted for you, as your successor (‘a), and for both of you to inherit the Wilayah’19.

Chapter 7: Mixture Of The Two Clays

- 7باب اختلاط الطينتين

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن اسماعيل بن يسار، عن عثمان بن يوسف، عن عبد ﷲ بن كيسان، قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: جعلت فداك أنا موالك عبد ﷲ بن كيسان، فقال: أما النسب فأعرفه، وأما أنت فلست أعرفك، (قال): فقلت له: انى ولدت بالجبل، ونشأت بأرض فارس، وأنا أخالط الناس في التجارات وغير ذلك، فأرى الرجل حسن السمت وحسن الخلق والامانة، ثم أفتشه فأفتشه عن عداوتكم.

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Isma’il Ibn Yasaar, from ‘Uthman Ibn Yusuf, from Adullah Ibn Kaysan who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘May I be sacrificed for you! I am your slave Abd Allah Ibn Kaysan’. So he (‘a) said: ‘As for the lineage, so I recognise it, and as for you, so I do not recognise you’. So I said to him (‘a), ‘I was born by the mountain, and was brought up in the land of Persia, and I mix with the people regarding the business and other matters like that, so I see the man who is a good listener, beautiful manners, and trustworthy. So I inquire about him, and it turns out that he is from your enemies.

وأخالط الرجل فأرى فيه سوء الخلق وقلة أمانة وزعارة، ثم أفتشه فأفتشه عن واليتكم فكيف يكون ذلك؟ - قال: فقال لي: أما علمت يا بنكيسان، أن ﷲ تبارك وتعالى أخذ طينة من الجنة وطينة من النار بفخلطهما جميعا ثم نزع هذه من هذه، فما رأيت من اولئك من الامانة وحسن السمت وحسن الخلق، فمما مستهم من طينة الجنة، وهم يعودون إلى ما خلقوا منه، وما رأيت من هؤلاء من قلة الامانة وسوء الخلق والزعارة، فمما مستهم من طينة النار، وهم يعودون إلى ما خلقوا منه.

And I mix with the men and I see among them one of evil manners, and little trustworthiness and dishonest, so I inquire about him and it turns that he is in your Wilayah. So how can that be?’

The Imam (‘a) said: ‘Do you not know, O Ibn Kaysan, that Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Took a clay from the Paradise and a clay from the Fire, and Mixed them up altogether. Then Allah (azwj) Removed this from this. Therefore, what you saw from the first one of yours, from the trustworthy, and a good listener, and beautiful manners, so he is from what has been touched by the clay of the Paradise, and those (parts) would (all) be returning to what they have been Created from. And what you saw those ones of little trustworthiness, and evil manners, and the dishonesty, so he has got (that which is) from what has been touched by the clay of the Fire, and they (those parts) would (all) be returning to what they have been Created from’20.

وعنه، عن أبيه رحمه ﷲ، عن عبد ﷲ بن القاسم الحضرمي، عمن حدثه قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: أرى الرجل من أصحابنا ممن يقول بقولنا خبيث اللسان، خبيث الخلطة، قليل الوفاء بالميعاد، فيغمنى غما شديدا، وأرى الرجل المخالفين علينا حسن السمت، حسن الهدى، وفيا بالميعاد، فأغتم لذلك غما شديدأ،

And from him, from his father, from Abd Allah Ibn Al-Qasim l Hazramy, from the one who narrated it, said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘I see the men from our companions, from the ones who speak with our speech, as being of bad tongue, of little loyalty with the promises. So it saddens me with extreme sadness. And I see the man from our opponents being good listeners, good guidance, and loyal with the promises, so I get saddened by that with extreme sadness’.

فقال: أو تدري لم ذاك؟ - قلت: لا، قال: ان ﷲ تبارك وتعالى خلط الطينتين فعركهما، وقال بيده هكذا راحتيه جميعا واحدة على الاخرى، ثم فلقهما، فقال: هذه إلى الجنة، وهذه إلى النار، ولا أبالى،

So, he (‘a) said: ‘Do you know why that is so?’ I said, ‘No’. He (‘a) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Mixed the two clays, and Rubbed the two, and Said by His (azwj) Hands: “This is how one is above the other”. Then He (azwj) Split the two and said: “These to the Paradise, and these to the Fire, and I (azwj) do not Care”.

فالذي رأيت من خبث اللسان والبذاء وسوء الخلطة وقلة الوفاء بالميعاد من الرجل الذي هو من أصحابكم يقول بقولكم فبما التطخ بهذه من الطينة الخبيثة وهو عائد إلى طينته، والذى رأيت من حسن الهدى وحسن السمت وحسن الخلطة والوفاء بالميعاد من الرجال من المخالفين فبما التطخ به من الطينة الطيبة، فقلت: جعلت فداك فرجت عنى فرج ﷲ عنك.

So those whom you saw as being of bad tongues and manners, and evil to mix with, and of little loyalty with the promises, from the man who was from your companions, speaking by your speech, so it is by being mixed with these one from the bad clay, and he would be returning to his (original) clay. And the one whom you saw as being of good guidance, and a good listener, and good to mix with, and loyal with his promises, from the men from the opponents, so it is due to the mixing with the good clay’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! You have relieved me, may Allah (azwj) Relieve you’21.

Chapter 8: Creation Of The Believer

- 8باب خلق المؤمن

عنه، عن علي بن حديد، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: ان ﷲ أذا أراد أن يخلق المؤمن من المؤمن والمؤمن من الكافر، بعث ملكا فأخذ قطرة من ماء المزن فألقاها على ورقة فأكل منها أحد الابوين فذلك المؤمن منه.

From him, from Ali Ibn Hadeed, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘When Allah (azwj) Intends to Create the Believer from the Believer, and the Believer from the disbeliever, Sends an Angel who takes a drop from the water of the rain (from the Paradise), so he throws it upon a leaf, from which one of the two parents eat. So that is the Believer (forms) from it’22.

وعنه، عن الحسن بن علي الوشاء، عن علي بن ميسر، عمن ذكره، عن أبي - عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: أن نطفة المؤمن لتكون في صلب المشرك فلا يصيبه من الشر شئ حتى يضعه، فإذا صار بشرا سويا لم يصبه من الشر شئ حتى يجرى عليه القلم.

And from him, from Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Al-Washa, from Ali Ibn Maysar, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘The seed of the Believer comes to be in the loins of the Polytheists, so nothing from the evil hits him until it is placed. So when he comes to be a complete person, nothing from the evil hits him until the Pen (Divine Command) flows against him’23.

Chapter 9: The Good Of Birth

- 9باب طيب المولد

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد وعبد الرحمن بن حماد الكوفي، عن أبي محمد عبد ﷲ بن ابراهيم الغفاري، عن الحسين بن زيد، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، عن آبائه عليهم السلام، قال: قال رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله: من أحبنا أهل البيت فليحمد ﷲ على أولى النعم، قلت: وما أولى النعم؟ - قال: طيب الوالدة، ولا يحبنا الا من طابت ولادته.

From him, from Yaqoub Ibn Yazid and Abdul Rahman Ibn Hammad Al-Kufy, from Abu Muhammad Abd Allah Ibn Ibrahim Al-Ghafary, from Al-Husayn Ibn Zayd,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a), from his (‘a) forefathers (‘a) having said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘The one who loves us, the People (‘a) of the Household, so he should Praise Allah (azwj) for the first Bounty’. I said, ‘And what is the first Bounty?’ He (‘a) said: ‘The ‘طيب’ purified birth. And he does not love us, except if he is of ‘طيب’ birth’24.

وعنه، عن عبد الله بن محمد الحجال، عن أبي عبد الله المدايني، قال: قال أبو - عبد الله عليه السلام: إذا برد على قلب أحدكم حبنا فليحمد الله على أولى النعم، قلت: على فطرة الاسلام؟ - قال: لا، ولكن على طيب المولد، انه لا يحبنا الا من طابت ولادته، ولا يبغضنا الا الملزق الذي يأتي به أمه من رجل آخر فتلزمه زوجها فيطلع على عوراتهم ويرثهم أموالهم فلا يحبنا ذلك أبدا، ولا يحبنا الا من كان صفوة من أي الجيل كان.

And from him, from Abd Allah Ibn Muhammad Al-Hajaal, from Abu Abd Allah Al-Mada’iny who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘When one of you feels the coolness of our (‘a) love upon his heart, so he should Praise Allah (azwj) for the first Bounty’. I said, ‘For the nature of Al-Islam?’ He (‘a) said: ‘No, but, for the ‘طيب’ of the birth. He will not love us except the one whose birth is ‘طيب’, nor will he hate us except the ‘Malzaq’ who has come by another man coming to his mother, so she obliges her husband by it upon their shamefulness, and inherits their wealth. So that one will never love us, ever, nor will anyone love us except the one who was the elite of his generation’25.

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن اسحاق بن عمار، عمن ذكره، عن اسحاق، قال: سمعت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام يقول: من وجد منكم برد حبنا على قلبه فليحمد ﷲ على أولى النعم، قلت: وما أولى النعم؟ - قال: طيب الوالدة.

And from from, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah, from Is’haq Ibn ‘Ammar, from the one who mentioned it, from Is’haq who said,

‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying: ‘The one from among you who finds the coolness of our (‘a) love upon his heart, so he should Praise Allah (azwj) for the first Bounty’. I said, ‘And what is the first Bounty?’ He (‘a) said: ‘The ‘طيب’ of the birth’26.

وعنه، عن عبد ﷲ بن محمد الحجال، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن معمر بن يحيى، عن أبي خالد الكابلي أنه سمع علي بن الحسين عليه السلام يقول: لا يدخل الجنة الا من خلص من آدم.

From him, from Abd Allah Ibn Muhammad Al-Hajaal, from Hammad Ibn ‘Utham, from Moamar Ibn Yahya, from Abu Khalid Al-Kabily, who heard Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (‘a) saying: ‘None shall enter the Paradise except the one who is purely from Adam (‘a)’ (without any share from Iblees - illegitimate)27.

وعنه، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن شريس الوابشى، عن سدير الصيرفي، قال: أبو جعفر عليه السلام: من طهرت ولادته دخل الجنة،

And from him, from Al-Qasim Ibn Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hasan Ibn Rashid, from Shureys Al-Wabishy, from Sudeyr Al-Sayrafi who said,

‘Abu Ja’far (‘a) said: ‘The one of purified birth would enter the Paradise’28.

وعنه، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن عبد ﷲ بن سنان، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: خلق ﷲ الجنة طاهرة مطهرة،لا يدخلها الا من طابت ولادته.

And from him, from Al-Qasim Ibn Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hasan Ibn Rashid, from Abd Allah Ibn Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘Allah (azwj) Created the Paradise as pure, Purified. None shall enter it except the one of purified birth’29.

عنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن أبي القاسم عثمان بن عبد ﷲ مولى شريح القاضى الكندى قال: كنت عند أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، وعنده نصر القاضى ورجل من بنى كعب من أحمس فتحدث بأحاديث فلما خرجا قلت: جعلت فداك، ما خلفت بالكوفة عربيين وال عجميين أنصب منهما، فقال: ان هذين صحيح نسبهما ومن صح نسبه لم يدع على مثلى ما يريد عيبه،

From him, from Ali Ibn Al-Hakam, from Abu Al-Qasim ‘Utham Ibn Abd Allah, a slave the judge of Al-Kindy, who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abd Allah (‘a), and in his (‘a) presence were Nasar the judge, and men from the Clan of Ka’ab, and they were discussing Ahadith. So when they left, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! I have not left behind in Al-Kufa, whether it be Arabs or non-Arabs who are more hostile (to you) than these two’. So he (‘a) said: ‘These two are of correct lineage, and the one who is of correct lineage does not call upon anyone but an ideal like me. What makes you want to fault him?’

قال: فخرجت إلى الكوفة فلقيتهما فقلت للنصر أولا: سمعت ما كنا فيه من الاحاديث مع جعفر عليه السلام، فقال: وﷲ ما كنا الا في ذكر ﷲ ومواعظ حسنة،

He (the narrator) said, ‘I went out to Al-Kufa, so I met the two of them. I said to Nasar, ‘Or have I not heard you what you were discussing from the Ahadith with Abu Ja’far (‘a)?’ So he said, ‘By Allah (azwj)! We were not in (anything) except the Remembrance of Allah (azwj) and good advice’.

قال: ثم لقيت الآخر فقلت له مثل ذلك فقال: ما أحفظه ولا أذكر أني سمعت منه شيئا، قال: فذكرته حديثا من الاحاديث، قال لي: ويلك سمعت هذا من جعفر عليه السلام تعيده؟ والله لو كان رأس عبد من ذهب لكانت رجلاه من خشب، اذهب قبحك الله.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then I met the other one, so I said to him similar to that. So he said, ‘I did not memorise it, nor do I remember having heard anything from him (‘a)’. So I mentioned a Hadith from the Ahadith (he had discussed). He said to me, ‘Woe be unto you! You have heard this from Abu Ja’far (‘a)? Reconsider it. By Allah (azwj)! Even if the head of a servant were from gold, his feet would be from wood. Go (away)! May Allah (azwj) Cause you ugliness’30.

وعنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن أبي القاسم عثمان بن عبد الله، قال: شكوت إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قوما غلبوني على دار لى في أحمس وجيرانها نصاب والرجل ليس منهم، فقال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ان هؤلاء الذين ذكرت قوم لهم نسب صحيح فاستعن بهم على استخراج حقك فانهم يفعلون،

And from him, from Ali Ibn Al-Hakam, from Abu Al-Qasim ‘Utham Ibn Abd Allah who said,

‘I complained to Abu Abd Allah (‘a) about a people who had overcome me during the excitement (troubles), and in the vicinity were Nasibis, and the man was not from among them’. So Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said to me: ‘Those whom you have mentioned are a people from whom is a correct lineage, so seek assistance by them on taking out your rights. They would be (prepared to) help you’.

قال: فجئت إليهم، فقلت لهم: ان جعفرا أمرنى أن أستعين بكم، فقالوا لي: وﷲ لو لم نكن بموالي جعفر لكان الواجب علينا في صحة نسبه أن نقوم في رسالته فقاموا معى حتى استخرجوا الدار فباعوها لى وأعطوني الثمن.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went to them, and I said to them, ‘Ja’far (‘a) has ordered me that I should seek assistance from you’. They said to me, ‘By Allah (azwj)! If we were not with Wilayah of Ja’far (‘a), it was an Obligation upon us regarding the correctness of his (‘a) lineage, that we should stand with regards to his (‘a) Message’. So they stood with me until we went outside the house. So they sold it to me, and gave me the worth’31.

وحدثني بعض أصحابه، عن عبد ﷲ بن عون الشيباني، عن رجل من أصحابنا، قال: اكتريت من جمال شق محمل وقال كل لي: لا تهتم لزميل فلك زميل، فلما كنا بالقادسية إذا هو قد جاءني بجار لى من العرب قد كنت أعرفه بخالف شديد وقال: هذا زميلك فأظهرت له أنى قد كنت أتمناه على ربي وأبديت له فرحا بمزاملته ووطنت نفسي أن أكون عبدا له وأخدمه ذلك فرقا منه

And it has been narrated to me from one of his companions, from Abd Allah Ibn Awn Al-Shaybani, from a man from our companions who said,

‘I hired half a camel loader and he (the owner) said to me, ‘Do not worry about the one who will be sharing the ride with you. So when we were at Al-Qadisiyya, he came up with a neighbour of min from the Arabs, and I knew him as being a harsh opponent, and he said, ‘This is your sharer, and expressed to him that I was happy to have him share with me and serve him, and extend all the help I can to him. I did all that and served him like a servant of his, and that made him considerate towards me.

قال: فإذا كل شئ وطنت نفسي عليه من خدمته والعبودية له قد بادرنى إليه فلما بلغنا المدينة قال: يا هذا، ان لي عليك حقا ولي بك حرمة، فقلت: حقوق وحرم، قال: قد عرفت أين تنحو فاستأذن لى على صاحبك قال: فبهت أن أنظر في وجهه أدرى بما أجيبه قال: فدخلت على أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام فأخبرته عن الرجل وجواره منى وأنه من أهل الخلاف وقصصت عليه قصته إلى أن سألني الاستيذان عليك فما أجبته إلى شئ، (قال): فأذن له،

Thus, when I served him like a slave he started liking me. And when we arrived at Al-Medina, he said to me, ‘Do I not have a right of companionship (over you) and you approve and respect me?’ I replied: Indeed, you have rights upon me and I honour you too’. He then said: ‘I know very well where you will go, I would like you to ask permission for me to your Master (‘a) ’. I was shocked to hear his words and I did not know what to answer him, instead I kept on looking at his face. So I came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), I informed him (‘a) about that man, and of his neighbourhood from me and that he is one of opponents. I narrated the story to him (‘a) until he (‘a) asked me to seek permission for him to see you but I did not give any answer to him. He (‘a) said: ‘Allow him’.

(قال): فلم أوت شيئا من أمور الدنيا كنت به أشد سرورا من اذنه ليعلم مكاني منه،

He (the narrator) said, ‘So there was nothing which made me happier from the affairs of the world which was more intensely joyful from his (‘a) giving the permission, as my status was known from it’.

قال: فجئت بالرجل فأقبل عليه أبو عبد الله عليه السلام بالترحيب ثم دعا له بالمائدة وأقبل لا يدعه يتناول الا مما كان يتناوله ويقول: "أطعم رحمك الله" حتى إذا رفعت المائدة، قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام "قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله"، فأقبلت أستمع منه أحاديث لم أطمع أن أسمع مثلها من أحد يرويها على أبي عبد الله عليه السلام.

He (the narrator) said: ‘So I came with the man, and Abu Abd Allah (‘a) faced towards him with the respect. Then he (‘a) called for the meal for him, and would not leave him to eat except from what he (‘a) ate himself (‘a), and he (‘a) was saying: ‘Eat more, may Allah (azwj) have Mercy upon you’, until when the meal was raised, Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said (such and such). So he went on to hear such Ahadith from him (‘a) which I had never hear being reported from anyone from Abu Abd Allah (‘a)’.

ثم قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام في آخر كالمه: "ولقد أرسلنا رسال من قبلك وجعلنا لهم أزواجا وذرية" فجعل لرسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله من الازواح والذرية مثل ما جعل للرسل من قبله، فنحن عقب رسول ﷲ وذريته، أجرى ﷲ لآخرنا مثل ما أجرى لاولنا،

Then Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said towards the end of his (‘a) speech: ‘(13:38) And We had Sent Messengers before you and Gave them wives and offspring’. Thus, Allah (azwj), Gave children and wives to Rasul Allah (S) as they were given to the Messengers (a) before him (S). So, we (‘a) are the children and Progeny (‘a) of Rasul Allah (S). Allah (azwj) has Made to flow for the last one of us as Allah (azwj) has Made it to flow for the first one of us.

قال: ثم قمنا فلم تمر بي ليلة كانت أطول منها فلما أصبحت جئت إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، فقلت له: ألم أخبرك بخبر الرجل قال: بلى، ولكن الرجل له أصل فان يرد الله به خيرا قبل ما سمع منا، وأن يرد به غير ذلك منعه ما ذكرت منه من قدره أن يحكى عنا شيئا من أمرنا،

He (the narrator) said, ‘The we arose (and left). There did not pass for me a night longer than it. So when it was the morning, I came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), so I said to him (‘a), ‘Did I not inform you with the news of the man?’ He (‘a) said: ‘Yes, but the man, the man has an origin for him, so Allah (azwj) Intended goodness with him before what he heard from us, and if He (azwj) had Intended other than that, would have Prevented him. What I have mentioned from it, from the amount of Ahadith, he would tell something from us, from our matter (Al-Wilayah)’.

قال: فلما بلغت العراق وأنا لا أرى أن في الدنيا أحدا أنفذ منه في هذا الامر.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So when I reached Al-Iraq, and I did not see in the world anyone more committed to this matter (Al-Wilayah) than him’.32

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن يونس بن يعقوب البجلى، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: إذا كان يوم القيامة دعى الخالئق بأسماء أمهاتهم الا نحن وشيعتنا فانهم يدعون بأسماء آبائهم.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Yunus Ibn Yaqoub Al-Bajaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, a people would be called by the names of their mothers, except for us and our (‘a) Shi’a, for they would be called with the names of their fathers’33.

عنه، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن الحسن بن راشد، عن الحسين بن علوان، وحدثني عن أحمد بن عبيد، عن الحسين بن علوان، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: إذا كان يوم القيامة يدعى الناس جميعا بأسمائهم وأسماء أمهاتهم سترا من ﷲ عليهم الا شيعة علي عليه السلام فانهم يدعون بأسمائهم وأسماء آبائهم وذلك أن ليس فيهم عهار.

From him, from Al-Qasim Ibn Yahya, from Al-Hasan Ibn Rashid, from Al-Husayn Ibn Alwan, from Ahmad Ibn ‘Ubayd, from Al-Husayn Ibn Alwan, from the one whom mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘When it will be the Day of judgement, all the people together would be called by their names and the names of their mothers, a Veiling from Allah (azwj) to them, except for the Shi’a of Ali Ibn Abu Talib (‘a). So they would be called by their names and the names of their fathers, and that is because there is no adulterer among them’34.

Chapter 10: The Wilayah

عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى (فيما أعلم،) عن يعقوب بن شعيب، قال سألت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، عن قول ﷲ عزوجل: "الا من تاب وآمن وعمل صالحا ثم اهتدى" قال: إلى ولايتنا وﷲ، أما ترى كيف اشترط ﷲ عزوجل؟.!

From him, from Hamaa Ibn ‘Isa, from Yaqoub Ibn Shuayb who said,

‘I asked Abu Abd Allah (‘a) about the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “to him who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then follows the right Guidance” (20:82). He (‘a) said: ‘To our (‘a) Wilayah, by Allah (azwj)! Have you not seen how Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Kept it (our (‘a) Wilayah) as a condition!’35

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، رفعه في قول ﷲ عزوجل، "ولتكبروا ﷲ على ما هداكم" قال: التكبير التعظيم لله، والهداية الولاية.

From him, from one of our companions, raising it,

Regarding the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “Exclaim the Greatness of Allah for His having Guided you” (2:185). He (‘a) said: ‘The exclamation of Greatness and the reverence is for Allah (azwj), and the Guidance is the Wilayah’36.

عنه، عن أبي محمد الخليل بن يزيد، عن عبد الرحمن الحذاء، عن أبي كلدة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: قال رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله: الروح والراحة و - الرحمة والنصرة واليسر واليسار والرضى والرضوان والفرج والمخرج والظهور والتمكين والغنم والمحبة من ﷲ ومن رسوله لمن والى عليا عليه السلام وائتم به.

From him, from Abu Muhammad Al-Khaleel Ibn Yazid, from Abdul Rahman Al-Haza’a, from Abu Kalda,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘The comfort and the rest, and the mercy and the victory, and the prosperity and the ease, and the satisfaction and the pleasure, and the relief and the way out, and the appearances and the ability, and the sheep and the love – are (all) from Allah (azwj) and from His (azwj) Rasul (S) for the one who is in the Wilayah of Ali, and aspires for it’37.

Chapter 11: What Is Only For Allah And His Rasul And Us And Our Shi’a

- 11 باب ما هو الا ﷲ ورسوله ونحن وشيعتنا

عنه، عن القاسم بن يحيى، عن جده الحسن بن راشد، عن أبي بصير قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: وﷲ ما بعدنا غيركم، وانكم معنا في السنام الاعلى، فتنافسوا في الدرجات

From him, from Al-Qasim Ibn Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hasan Ibn Rashid, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘How distant the others are from us, and you all (Shi’a) are with us in the highest peak, therefore compete (among yourselves) with regard to the Levels (in the Paradise)’38.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن الحسين بن أبي العلاء، قال: قال أبو – عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: ان لكل شئ جوهرا، وجوهر ولد آدم محمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله ونحن وشيعتنا.

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Al-Husayn Ibn Abu Al-A’ala who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘For everything is an ‘جوهرا’ excellence, and the ‘جوهر’ of the children of Adam (‘a) are Muhammad (S), and us and our (‘a) Shi’a’39.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن سدير، قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه - السلام: أنتم آل محمد، أنتم آل محمد.

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Sudeyr who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘You all (Shi’a) are (to be included) in the Progeny (‘a) of Muhammad (S)! You all (Shi’a) are (to be included) in the Progeny (‘a) of Muhammad (S)!’40

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن عمرو بن أبي المقدام، عن مالك بن أعين الجهنى قال: أقبل الي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام، فقال :يا مالك أنتم والله شيعتنا حقا، يا مالك تراك قد أفرطت في القول في فضلنا، انه ليس يقدر أحد على صفة الله وكنه قدرته وعظمته فكما لا يقدر أحد على كنه صفة الله وكنه قدرته وعظمته "ولله المثل الاعلى "

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Amr Ibn Abu Al-Maqdam, from Maalik Ibn Ayn Al-Jahny who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) faced towards me and said, ‘O Maalik! You all are our (‘a) true Shi’a! O Maalik! Do you think that you have been excessive in speaking of our (‘a) merits? There is no one who has the ability over the Attributes of Allah (azwj), and have His (azwj) Power and His (azwj) Greatness, just as no other can have the Attributes of Allah (azwj) and have His (azwj) Power and His (azwj) Greatness: “and Allah's is the Exalted Example” (16:60).’

فكذلك لا يقدر أحد على صفة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وفضلنا وما أعطانا الله وما أوجب من حقوقنا، وكما لا يقدر أحد أن يصف فضلنا وما أعطانا الله وما أوجب الله من حقوقنا فكذلك لا يقدر أحد أن يصف حق المؤمن ويقوم به مما أوجب الله على أخيه المؤمن،

Just like that, no one has the ability over the attributes of Rasul Allah (S), and our (‘a) merits, and what Allah (azwj) has Given us, and what He (azwj) has Obligated from our (‘a) rights. Just as no one has the ability to have the attributes of our (‘a) merits, and what Allah (azwj) has Given us, and what He (azwj) has Obligated from our (‘a) rights, similar to that, no one has the ability that he should have the attributes of the Believer, and stand by it from what Allah (azwj) has Obligated upon his brother Believer.

والله يا مالك ان المؤمنين ليلتقيان فيصافح كل واحد منهما صاحبه فما يزال الله تبارك وتعالى ناظرا اليهما بالمحبة والمغفرة، وان الذنوب لتحات عن وجوههما وجوارحهما حتى يفترقا، فمن يقدر على صفة الله وصفة من هو هكذا عند الله؟!

By Allah (azwj), O Maalik! The Believers would be meeting each other and shaking hands, every one of them to his companion. So Allah (azwj) the High will not cease to Look at them with the Love and the Forgiveness. The sins would erode from their faces and their body parts until they separate from them. So who is the one who has the ability over (to have) the Attributes of Allah (azwj) and the attributes of the one who is like this in the Presence of Allah (azwj)?’41

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن جميل بن دراج، عن مالك بن أعين قال: قال لي أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: يا مالك أما ترضون أن يأتي كل قوم يلعن بعضهم بعضا الا أنتم ومن قال بقولكم.

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah, from Jameel Ibn Daraaj, from Maalik Ibn Ayn who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), “The Day when We will Call every human being with their Imam (17:71)”. So he (‘a) said: ‘Every generation of this community would be Called with their Imam (‘a)’. I said, ‘So Rasul Allah (S) would come among his (‘a) generation, and Ali among his (‘a) generation, and Al-Hasan (‘a) would come among his (‘a) generation, and Al-Husayn (‘a) would come among his (‘a) generation, and every Imam (‘a) among his (‘a) generation in whose presence he (‘a) passed away?’ He (‘a) said: ‘Yes’44.

From him, from his father, from the one who narrated it, from Is’haq Ibn ‘Ammar, from Muhammad Ibn Muslim who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far (‘a) saying: ‘The man loves the man but hates his son, so Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Refused and Made loving us as a Necessity. The one who took it, took it (an Obligation), and the one who neglected it, neglected it, an Obligation. Thus He (azwj) Said: “Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives” (42:23)45.

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن أبي جعفر الاحول، عن سالم بن المستنير، قال: سألت أبا جعفر عليه السلام عن قول ﷲ عزوجل "قل لا أسألكم عليه أجرا الا المودة في القربى" فقال: هي وﷲ فريضة من ﷲ على العباد لمحمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله في أهل بيته.

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al-Ahowl, from Salaam Ibn Mustaneer who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’far (‘a) about the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives” (42:23), so he (‘a) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! It is an Obligation from Allah (azwj) upon the servants to Muhammad (S) with regards to the People (‘a) of his (S) Household’46.

عنه، عن الهيثم بن عبد الله النهدي، عن العباس بن عامر القصير، عن حجاج الخشاب، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول لابي جعفر الاحول: ما يقول من عندكم في قول الله تبارك وتعالى؟" - قل لا أسألكم عليه أجرا الا المودة في القربى. "فقال: كان الحسن البصري يقول :في أقربائي من العرب، فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: لكنى أقول لقريش الذين عندنا: هي لنا خاصة، فيقولون: هي لنا ولكم عامة،

From him, from Al-Haysam Ibn Abd Allah Al-Nahdy, from Al-Abbas Ibn Aamir Al-Qaysar, from Hajjaj Al-Khashaab who said,

‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying to Abu Ja’far Al-Ahowl: ‘What are they saying in your presence regarding the Words of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives” (42:23)?’ So he said, ‘Al-Hasan Al-Basry was saying, ‘It is regarding the near relatives from the Arabs’. So Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘But I am saying among the Qureysh who are in our (‘a) presence: ‘It is for us in particular’. So they are saying, ‘It is for us and for you generally’.

فأقول: خبروني عن النبي صلى ﷲ عليه وآله، إذا نزلت به شديدة من خص بها؟ أليس ايانا خص بها؟ حين أراد أن يلاعن أهل نجران أخذ بيد علي وفاطمة والحسن والحسين عليهم السلام، ويوم بدر قال لعلي وحمزة وعبيدة بن الحارث قال: فأبوا يقرون لي، أفلكم الحلو، ولنا المر؟.!

So I am saying: ‘Inform me about the Prophet (S), when a difficulty descended upon him (S), who was ‘خص’ specialised for it? Were we (‘a) not meant to be specialised by it? When Rasul Allah (S) intended to curse the people of Najran, he (S) grabbed the hand of Ali, and Fatimah (‘a), and Al-Hasan (‘a), and Al-Husayn (‘a). And on the Day of Badr he (S) said to Ali, and Hamza, and ‘Ubayda Ibn Al-Haaris: ‘They have refused to accept me’. So for you is the sweet, and for us is the bitter?’47

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي الخزاز، عن مثنى الحناط، عن عبد ﷲ بن عجلان قال: سألت أبا جعفر عليه السلام عن قول ﷲ عزوجل: "قل لا أسألكم عليه أجرا الا المودة في القربى"؟ - فقال: هم الائمة الذين لا يأكلون الصدقة وال تحل لهم.

‘I was circumambulating (the Kabah) with Abu Abd Allah (‘a), and he (‘a) leant towards me and said: ‘O Amr! How abundant is the majority’ – meaning the people. So I said, ‘Certainly, may I be sacrificed for you! According to you’. He (‘a) said: ‘But, by Allah (azwj), no one is performing Hajj for the Sake of Allah (azwj) apart from you (Shi’a), nor will anyone will be Given the Recompense twice apart from you (Shi’a). You all are, by Allah (azwj), herders of the sun and the moon; and you all are, by Allah (azwj), the people of the Religion of Allah (azwj). Acceptance is from you, and for you is the Forgiveness’49.

From him, from his father, from the one who narrated it, from ‘Ubaydullah Ibn Ali Al-Halby who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘What I wanted to do was to narrate to you and discuss with you, and advise you. And how should I not advise you all? By Allah (azwj)! You are the army of Allah (azwj). By Allah (azwj)! No one from the people of the Religion worship Allah (azwj) apart from you. So grab it and do not circulate it, and do not withhold it from its deserving ones, for if I had withheld it from you, it would have been withheld from me’50.

For us are the Honours of the Qur’an, and we (‘a) are the people to whom Allah (azwj) has Obligated the obedience to, and for us are the spoils of war, and for us is the clean wealth’78.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن أبي اليسع عيسى بن السرى، قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام. ان الارض لا تصلح الا بالامام، ومن مات لا يعرف امامه مات ميتة جاهلية، وأحوج ما يكون أحدكم إلى معرفته إذا بلغت نفسه هذه وأهوى بيده إلى صدره يقول: لقد كنت على أمر حسن.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Hammad Ibn ‘Uthman, from Abu Al-Yas’a ‘Isa Ibn Al-Sary who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘The earth cannot be in a correct state except with the (presence of) Imam (‘a). And the one who dies not having recognised his Imam (‘a), died the death of the ignorant (Pre-Islamic period). And it is most needy that one of you should come to his (‘a) recognition, when his soul reaches here’ – and he (‘a) gestured with his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) chest – ‘He would have been upon a beautiful matter’79.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن حسين بن أبي العلاء، قال: سألت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام عن قول رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله: "من مات ليس له امام مات ميتة جاهلية" فقال: نعم، لو ان الناس تبعوا علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام وتركوا عبد الملك بن مروان اهتدوا، فقلنا: من مات لا يعرف امامه مات ميتة جاهلية، ميتة كفر؟ - فقال: لا ميتة ضلال.

From him, from his father, from Al-Nazar, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Husayn Ibn Abu Al-A’ala who said,

‘I asked Abu Abd Allah (‘a) about the words of Rasul Allah (S): ‘The one who dies and there is no Imam (‘a) for him, died the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period)’. So he (‘a) said: ‘If only the people were to follow Ali Ibn Abu Talib (‘a) and neglect Abdul Malik Ibn Marwan, they would be Guided. So we said, ‘So the one who died not having recognised his Imam (‘a), died the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period), died as an Infidel?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘Indeed! Death of the straying one’80.

عنه، عن النضر، عن يحيى، عن أيوب بن الحر قال: سمعت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام يقول: قال أبي: من مات ليس له امام مات ميتة جاهلية.

From him, from Al-Nazar, from Yahya, from Ayoub Ibn Al-Hurr who said,

‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying: ‘My father (‘a) said: ‘The one who died not having an Imam (‘a) for himself, died the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period)’81.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن علي بن النعمان النخعي، قال حدثنى الحارث بن المغيرة النضرى قال: سمعت عثمان بن المغيرة يقول: حدثنى الصادق، عن علي عليهما السلام قال: قال رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله: من مات بغير امام جماعة مات ميتة جاهلية،

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Ali Ibn Al-Nu’man Al-Nakha’i, from Al-Haris Ibn Al-Mugheira Al-Nazary, from ‘Utham Ibn Al-Mugheira who said,

‘Al-Sadiq (‘a) narrated to me from Ali having said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘The one who died without an Imam of the community died the death of an ignorant (Pre- Islamic period)’.

قال الحارث بن المغيرة: فلقيت جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام، فقال: نعم، قلنا: - فمات ميتة جاهلية؟ - قال: ميتة كفر وضلال ونفاق.

Al-Haris Ibn Al-Mugheira (the narrator) said, ‘So I met up with Ja’far (‘a) Ibn Muhammad (‘a), so he (‘a) said: ‘Yes’. So we said, ‘So he died the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period)?’ He (‘a) said: ‘Death of an Infidel, and a straying one, and hypocrisy’82.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن ثعلبة بن ميمون، عن بشير العطار، قال: قال أبو - عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: "يوم ندعوا كل أناس بامامهم" ثم قال: قال رسول ﷲ (صلى ﷲ عليه وآله): وعنى امامكم، وكم من إمام يجئ يوم القيامة يلعن أصحابه ويلعنونه، نحن ذرية محمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله وأمنا فاطمة (عليها السلام) وما آتى ﷲ أحدا من المرسلين شيئا الا وقد آتاه محمدا صلى ﷲ عليه وآله كما آتى المرسلين من قبله ثم تلا "ولقد أرسلنا رسال من قبلك وجعلنا لهم أزواجا وذرية".

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Sa’alba Ibn Maymoun, from Bashir Al-Ataar who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘“The Day when We will Call every human being with their Imam” (17:71). Then he (‘a) said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘And we (‘a) are your Imams (‘a), and how many Imams would come on the Day of Judgement cursing their companions (followers) and they would be cursing him. We (‘a) are the descendants of Muhammad (S), and our (‘a) mother (‘a) is Sayyida Fatimah (‘a). And Allah (azwj) has not Given anything to the Mursil Prophets (‘a) except that He (azwj) Gave it to Muhammad (S) similar to what was Given to the Mursil Prophets (‘a) before him (S)’. Then he (‘a) recited: “And We had Sent Messengers before you and Gave them wives and children” (13:38)’83.

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن عبد ﷲ بن غالب، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: لما أنزلت. "يوم ندعو كل أناس بامامهم" قال المسلمون: يا رسول ﷲ ألست امام الناس كلهم أجمعين؟ - فقال رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله: أنا رسول ﷲ إلى الناس أجمعين ولكن سيكون بعدى أئمة على الناس من أهل بيتى من ﷲ، يقومون الناس في فيكذبونهم ويظلمونهم أئمة الكفر والضلال وأشياعهم،

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abd Allah Ibn Ghalib, from Jabir Ibn Yazid Al-Ju’fy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘When it was Revealed: “The Day when We will Call every human being with their Imam” (17:71), the Muslims said, ‘O Rasul Allah (S)! Are you not the Imam (‘a) of all the people together?’ So Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘I am Rasul Allah (S) to the people altogether, but there would be coming after me, Imams (‘a) upon the people, from the People (‘a) of my Household, from Allah (azwj). They (‘a) would be standing among the people, but they (‘a) would be belied, and oppressed by the imams of the Infidelity, and the straying, and their adherents.

ألا فمن والاهم واتبعهم وصدقهم فهو مني ومعى وسيلقانى، ألا ومن ظلمهم وأعان على ظلمهم وكذبهم فليس مني ولا معى وأنا منه برئ.

Indeed! So, the one who is in their (‘a) Wilayah, and follows them (‘a), and ratifies them (‘a), so he is from me and with me, and would be meeting me. Indeed! And the one who oppresses them (‘a), and gives support to the one who oppresses them (‘a), and belies them (‘a), so he is not from me, and not with me, and I am away from him’84.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن علي بن النعمان، عن محمد بن مروان، عن الفضيل بن يسار قال: سمعت أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: من مات وليس له امام فموته ميتة جاهلية، ولا يعذر الناس حتى يعرفوا إمامهم، ومن مات وهو عارف لامامه لا يضره تقدم هذا الامر أو تأخره، ومن مات عارفا لامامه كان كمن هو مع القائم في فسطاطه.

From him, from his father, from Ali Ibn Al-Nu’man, from Muhammad Ibn Marwan, from Al-Fudha’il Ibn Yasaar who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far (‘a) saying: ‘The one who died and there is no Imam (‘a) for him, so his death is the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period). And there is no excuse for the people until they recognise their Imam (‘a). And the one who dies and he recognised his Imam (‘a), this matter (death) would not harm him whether it is brought forward or delayed. And the one who died having recognised his Imam (‘a) would be as if he was with Al-Qa’im (‘a) in his (‘a) camp’85.

Chapter 23: The Desires

- 23باب الاهواء

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن جميل بن دراج، عن سعيد بن يسار، قال: دخلت على أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام وهو على سرير فقال: يا سعيد ان طائفة سميت المرجئة، وطائفة سميت الخوارج، وسميتم الترابية.

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah, from Jameel Ibn Daraaj, from Saeed Ibn Yasaar who said,

‘I came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a) and he (‘a) was upon a bed, so he (‘a) said: ‘O Saeed! There is a sect named as Al-Murji’a, and a sect named as Al-Khawarij, and you have been named as Al-Turaabiya (the dusty ones- the humble ones - submitters to the Matter)’86.

وعنه، عن أبيه رحمه ﷲ، عن القاسم بن محمد الجوهرى، عن حبيب الخثعمي والنضر بن سويد، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن ابن مسكان، عن حبيب قال: قال لنا أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: ما أحد أحب إلي منكم، ان الناس سلكوا سبلا شتى، منهم من أخذ بهواه، ومنهم من أخذ برأيه، وانكم أخذتم بأمر له أصل.

And from him, from his father, from Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad Al-Jowhary, from Habeeb Al-Khathamy and Al-Nazar Ibn Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Habeeb who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said to us: ‘There is none more beloved to me than you all. The people have gone in various ways – among them is one who takes to his own desires, and among them is one who takes to his own opinion, whilst you have seized by a Matter which has an origin to it’.

وفي حديث آخر لحبيب، عن أبي – عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: ان الناس أخذوا هكذا وهكذا، فطائفة أخذوا بأهوائهم، وطائفة قالوا بآرائهم، وطائفة قالوا بالرواية، وﷲ هداكم لحبه وحب من ينفعكم حبه عنده.

And in another Hadith of Habeeb,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘The people have taken to this (and) this. So there is a sect taking to their own desires, and a sect speaking by their own opinions, and a sect speaking by the narrations. And Allah (azwj) Guided you to His (azwj) Love, and to love the one whose love for him (‘a) benefits in His (azwj) Presence’87.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن أبي اسحاق ثعلبة بن ميمون، عن بشير الدهان، قال: قال لي أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: ان هذه المرجئة وهذه القدرية وهذه الخوارج ليس منهم أحد الا وهو يرى أنه على الحق، وانكم انما أجبتمونا في ﷲ،

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Abu Is’haq Sa’albat Ibn Maymoun, from Bashir Al-Dahaan who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said to me: ‘These are the Murjiites, and these are the Qadiriyya, and these are the Khawarijites – there is none among them except that he sees himself as being upon the Truth, but you, and rather are answering to us for the Sake of Allah (azwj)’.

ثم تال "أطيعوا ﷲ وأطيعوا الرسول وأولى الامر منكم" "وما آتاكم الرسول فخذوه، وما نهاكم عنه فانتهوا" "من يطع الرسول فقد أطاع ﷲ" "ان كنتم تحبون ﷲ فاتبعوني يحببكم ﷲ ويغفر لكم ذنوبكم" ثم قال: وﷲ لقد نسب ﷲ عيسى بن مريم في القرآن إلى ابراهيم من قبل النساء،

Then he (‘a) recited: “O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasul and those in authority from among you” (4:59); “and whatever the Rasul gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back” (59:7); “Whoever obeys the Rasul, so he has obeyed Allah” (4:80); “Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will Love you and Forgive you your sins” (3:31).

By Allah (azwj)! Allah (azwj) had Lineage ‘Isa (‘a) Ibn Maryam (‘a) in the Qur’an, to Ibrahim (‘a) from before (the Revelation of Chapter 4) – Al-Nisa’.

ثم قال: "ومن ذريته داود وسليمان" إلى قوله: "ويحيى وعيسى".

Then he (‘a) said: ‘“and of his descendants, Dawood and Sulaiman and Ayoub and Yusuf and Haroun” (6:84) – up to His (azwj) Words: “and Yahya and ‘Isa” (6:85)’88.

وعنه، عن أبيه رحمه ﷲ، عن النضر، عن الحلبي، عن بشير في حديث سليمان مولى طربال، قال: ذكرت هذه الاهواء عند أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: لا وﷲ ما هم على شئ مما جاء به رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله الا استقبال الكعبة فقط.

And from him, from his father, from Al-Nazar, from Al-Halby, from Bashir, in a Hadith of Suleyman, a slave of Tarbaal who said,

‘I mentioned these desires in the presence of Abu Abd Allah (‘a), he (‘a) said: ‘No, by Allah (azwj)! They are not upon anything from what Rasul Allah (S) came with, except for kissing the Kabah, only’89.

Chapter 24: The Rejection

24 - باب الرافضة

عنه، عن علي بن أسباط، عن عيينة بياع القصب، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: وﷲ لنعم الاسم الذي منحكم ﷲ ما دمتم تأخذون بقولنا ولا تكذبون علينا

From him, from Ali Ibn Asbat, from Ayayna Bayaa Al-Qasab,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! It is a good name (Al-Rafidhi) granted (to you for the Sake) of Allah (azwj) so long as you are taking by our (‘a) speech, and are not belying against us’.

قال: وقال لي أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام هذا القول اني كنت خبرته ان رجلا قال لي: اياك أن تكون رافضيا.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said to me: ‘This word (Al-Rafidhi), I had experienced it when a man said to me ‘Beware of becoming a Rafidhi’90.

From him, from Yaqoub Ibn Yazid, from Safwaan Ibn Yahya, from Abu Asama Zayd Al-Shahaam, from Abu Al-Jaroud who said,

‘May Allah (azwj) Deafen his ears just as He (azwj) would Blind his eyes, had I not heard Abu Ja’far (‘a) saying when he (someone) said, ‘So and so has named us with a name’. He (‘a) said: ‘And what is that name?’ He said ‘He named us as ‘Al-Rafidhi’ (The rejecters)’. So Abu Ja’far (‘a) said by gesturing with his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) own chest: ‘And I am (also) from Al-Rafidhi, and he (it?) is from me’. He (‘a) said it three times’91.

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن محمد بن سليمان الديلمي، عن رجلين، عن أبي بصير، قال: قلت فلم لابي جعفر عليه السلام: جعلت فداك اسم سمينا به استحلت به الوالدة دماءنا وأموالنا وعذابنا، قال: وما هو؟ - قال: ألله إلى الرافضة، فقال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: ان سبعين رجال من عسكر فرعون رفضوا فرعون فأتوا موسى عليه السلام يكن في قوم موسى عليه السلام أحد أشد اجتهادا ولا أشد حبا لهارون منهم فسماهم قوم موسى الرافضة، فأوحى موسى: أن ثبت لهم هذا الاسم في التوراة فانى قد نحلتهم وذلك اسم قد نحلكموه ﷲ.

From him, from Yaqoub Ibn Yazid, from Al-Hasan Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Ibn Suleyman Al-Dalaymy, from two men, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘May I be sacrificed for you! A name which we have been named with, due to which our births, and our blood, and our wealth, and our suffering has been made permissible (for them)’. The Imam (‘a) said: ‘And what is it?’ He said, ‘Al-Rafidhi’ (The rejecters)’. So, Abu Ja’far (‘a) said: ‘Seventy men from the army of Pharaoh rejected Pharaoh, so they came to Musa (‘a). There was none among the people of Musa (‘a) more intense in his struggle, nor more intense for his love for Harun (‘a), than them. So, the people of Musa (‘a) called them Al-Rafidhi. So, Allah (azwj) Revealed unto Musa (‘a): “This name has been Affirmed for them in the Torah, for it is a Name which I (azwj) have Granted it to them”. And that is a name which Allah (azwj) has Granted it to you’92.

From him, from his father, from Al-Nazar, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Zarara who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) was asked and I was seated, about the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “Whoever comes with a good deed, he shall have ten like it” (6:160), does this flow for those one who do not recognise this matter (Al-Wilayah) amongst you?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘But rather, it is for the Believers especially’.

فقلت له: أصلحك ﷲ، أرأيت من صام وصلى و اجتنب المحارم و حسن ورعه ممن لا يعرف ولا ينصب؟ فقال: «إن ﷲ يدخل أولئك الجنة برحمته .«

So, I said to him (‘a), ‘May Allah (azwj) Keep you well! What do you say for the ones who Fast, and Pray, and keep away from the Prohibitions, and are good and pious, and are not hostile (to you)?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘Allah (azwj) may Enter them into the Paradise due to His (azwj) Mercy’94.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن الخطاب الكوفي ومصعب بن عبد ﷲ الكوفي قالا: دخل سدير الصيرفي على أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام وعنده جماعة من أصحابه، فقال له: يا سدير لا تزال شيعتنا مرعبين محفوظين مستورين معصومين ما أحسنوا النظر لانفسهم فيما بينهم وبين خالقهم وصحت نياتهم لائمتهم وبروا اخوانهم فعطفوا على ضعيفهم وتصدقوا على ذوى الفاقة منهم، انا لا نأمر بظلم ولكنا نأمركم بالورع الورع الورع والمواساة المواساة المواساة لاخوانكم فان أولياء ﷲ لم يزالوا مستضعفين قليلين منذ خلق ﷲ آدم عليه السلام

From him, form Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Muhammad Ibn Aslam, from Al-Khataab Al-Kufy and Mas’ab Ibn Abd Allah Al-Kufy who both said,

‘Sudeyr Al-Sayrafi came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a) and in his (‘a) presence was a group of his (‘a) companions, so he (‘a) said to him: ‘O Sudeyr! Our (‘a) Shi’a have never ceased to be intimidated, protective, concealed, innocent. How beautiful is to look at them with regard to what is between them and their Creator (azwj), and the well-being of their sincere intentions to their Imams (‘a) and they respect for their brethren, and sympathise with the weak ones, and are charitable to the ones with the starvation among them. We (‘a) do not order for the injustice, but we (‘a) order you for the piety, the piety, the piety, and the equality, and the equality, and the equality to your brethren, for the friends of Allah (azwj) have never ceased to be weak, few in number, since Allah (azwj) Created Adam (‘a)’95.

وروى عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: ستة لا تكون في مؤمن، قيل: وما هي العسر والنكد واللجاجة والكذب والحسد والبغى، وقال: لا يكون المؤمن مجازفا.

And it has been reported,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘Six (things) cannot come to be in a Believer’. It was said, ‘And what are these?’ He (‘a) said: ‘(1) The insolvency (bankruptcy), (2) and the moaning (complaining), and (3) the hard- heartedness, and (4) the lies, and (5) the envy, and (6) the rebellion’.

‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Said: “I (azwj) do not Hesitate from anything which I (azwj) do, like I (azwj) Hesitate about the Believer, so I (azwj) Loved to meet him but he dislikes the death, so I (azwj) Impede (delay) it from him. And even if there were not to be in the earth anyone except for a single Believer, I (azwj) would be Content with him from all the rest of My (azwj) Creatures, and would Make for him, one from his faith, a human, (so that) he would (associate with him) and not be needy of anyone (else)’99.

And I (azwj) do not Hesitate about anything like I (azwj) Hesitate with regards to the death of the Believer. I (azwj) Love to Meet him, and he dislikes the death, so I (azwj) Exchange it from him.

‘A man asked Abu Abd Allah (‘a) and I was seated, about the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “Are those who know and those who do not know alike? But rather, it is the ones of understanding who are mindful” (39:9). He (‘a) said: ‘We (‘a) are those who know, and our enemies are those who do not know and our (‘a) Shi’a are the ones of understanding’134.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة بن خالد، قال: دخلت أنا ومعلى بن خنيس علي ابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام فاذن لنا وليس هو في مجلسه فخرج علينا من جانب البيت من عند نسائه وليس عليه جلباب، فلما نظر الينا رحب فقال: مرحبا بكما وأهلا ثم جلس وقال: أنتم أولو الالباب في كتاب ﷲ ، قال ﷲ تبارك وتعالى: "انما يتذكر أولو الالباب" فأبشروا فأنتم على أحدى الحسنيين من ﷲ، أما أنكم إن بقيتم حتى تروا ما تمدون إليه رقابكم شفى ﷲ صدوركم، وأذهب غيظ قلوبكم، وأدالكم على عدوكم، وهو قول ﷲ تبارك وتعالى: "ويشف صدور قوم مؤمنين ويذهب غيظ قلوبهم"، وإن مضيتم قبل ان تروا ذلك مضيتم على دين ﷲ الذي رضيه لنبيه وبعثه عليه.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Ali Ibn Uqba Ibn Khalid who said,

‘I and Mu’alla Ibn Khunays Ali came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), for he (‘a) had permitted me, but he (‘a) was not in his gathering place. So he (‘a) came out to us from the side of the house, from his women’s quarters, and he (‘a) had no outer overcoat upon him (‘a). So when he looked at us and said: ‘I love to meet you all’. Then he (‘a) sat down, then said: ‘You (Shi’a) are the people of the understanding (Mentioned) in the Book of Allah (azwj): “But rather, only those possessing understanding will mind” (13:19)’.

فأبشروا فأنتم على أحدى الحسنيين من ﷲ ، أما أنكم إن بقيتم حتى تروا ما تمدون إليه رقابكم شفى ﷲ صدوركم، وأذهب غيظ قلوبكم، وأدالكم على عدوكم، وهو قول ﷲ تبارك وتعالى: "ويشف صدور قوم مؤمنين ويذهب غيظ قلوبهم"، وإن مضيتم قبل ان تروا ذلك مضيتم على دين ﷲ الذي رضيه لنبيه وبعثه عليه.

So receive glad tidings, for you all are upon one of the two Honours from Allah (azwj). But, if you were to remain (alive) until you see what your necks are extending for, Allah (azwj) would Heal your hearts, and Remove the rage of your hearts, and Cause you to triumph over your enemies. And these are the Words of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “and Heal the chests of a believing people” (9:14); “And Remove the rage of their hearts (9:15). And if you were to die before you were to see that, you would have died upon the Religion of Allah (azwj) which He (azwj) is Pleased with for His (azwj) Prophet (S), and Sent it to him (S)’135.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن أبيه، عن سليمان بن خالد قال: كنت في محمل أقرأ إذ نادانى أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: اقرأ يا سليمان وأنا في هذه الآيات التي في آخر "تبارك" "والذين لا يدعون مع ﷲ إلها آخر، ولا يقتلون النفس التي حرم ﷲ إلا بالحق، ولا يزنون، ومن يفعل ذلك يلق أثاما، يضاعف،" فقال: هذه فينا أما وﷲ لقد وعظنا وهو يعلم أنا لا نزني، إقرأ يا سليمان: فقرأت حتى انتهيت إلى قوله "إلا من تاب وآمن وعمل صالحا فأولئك يبدل ﷲ سيأتهم حسنات "

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Ali Ibn Uqba, from his father, from Suleyman Ibn Khalid who said, ‘I was in a (camel) loader reading (the Qur’an),

When Abu Abd Allah (‘a) called out to me: ‘Read, O Suleyman! And I am in these Verse in which is as the end ‘Blessed’ – “And they who do not call upon another god with Allah and do not slay the soul, which Allah has Forbidden except with the right, nor are they adulterous, and the one who does that would be in sin” (25:68). “The Punishment shall be doubled to him” (25:69). So, he (‘a) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! These are regarding us. But, by Allah (azwj)! He (azwj) has Advised us and He (azwj) Knows that we (‘a) do not commit adultery. Read, O Suleyman!’. So, I recited until I ended up to His (azwj) Words:“Except for the one who repents and believes and does righteous deeds; so these are they for whom Allah would Exchange their evil deeds to good ones” (25:70)’.

قال: قف، هذه فيكم، انه يؤتى بالمؤمن المذنب يوم القيامة حتى يوقف بين يدى ﷲ عزوجل فيكون هو الذي يلى حسابه فيوقفه على سيئاته شيئا فشيئا، فيقول: عملت كذا وكذا، في يوم كذا، في ساعة كذا، فيقول: أعرف يا رب قال: حتى يوقفه على سيئاته كلها كل ذلك يقول، أعرف، فيقول: سترتها عليك في الدنيا، وأغفرها لك اليوم، أبدلوها لعبدي حسنات،

He (‘a) said: ‘Pause! This is regarding you all (Shi’a). They will bring a sinful Believer on the Day of Judgement until they pause him in front of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. They would make him follow his account. So they would pause him over a sinful thing, (after a sinful) thing. So they would be saying, ‘You did such and such, during such a day, in such a time’. So he would be saying, ‘I know, O Lord (azwj)!’ He (‘a) said: ‘To the extent that they would pause him upon all of his sinful deeds, for each of which he would be saying, ‘I know’. So He (azwj) would be Saying: “I (azwj) Veiled these for you in the world, and I (azwj) Forgive these for you today. Change these for My (azwj) servant, into good deeds!”

قال: فترفع صحيفته للناس، فيقولون: سبحانه ﷲ، أما كانت لهذا العبد ولا سيئة واحدة فهو قول ﷲ عزوجل "فاولئك يبدل ﷲ سيئاتهم حسنات "

He (‘a) said: ‘So he would raise his Parchment (Book of deeds) to the people, and they would be saying, ‘Glory be to Allah (azwj)! There is not a single sin to this servant!’ So these are the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “so these are they for whom Allah would Exchange their evil deeds to good ones” (25:70)’.

قال: ثم قرأت حتى انتهيت إلى قوله" والذين لا يشهدون الزور، وإذا مروا باللغو مروا كراما" فقال، هذه فينا،

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then I recited until I ended up to His (azwj) Words:

“And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly” (25:72). So he (‘a) said: ‘This is regarding us’.

ثم قرأت "والذين إذا ذكروا بآيات ربهم لم يخروا عليها صما وعميانا" فقال: هذه فيكم إذا ذكرتم فضلنا لم تشكوا،

Then I recited: “And they who, when the Signs of their Lord are mentioned, do not fall thereat deaf and blind” (25:73). So he (‘a) said: ‘This is regarding you all (Shi’a). When our (‘a) merits are mentioned, you do not doubt’.

ثم قرأت: "والذين يقولون ربنا هب لنا من أزواجنا وذرياتنا قرة أعين: إلى آخر السورة" فقال: هذه فينا.

Then I recited: “And they who are saying: O our Lord! Grant us from our wives and our offspring the delight of our eyes (and Make us Imams for the pious)” (25:74) – up to the end of the Chapter. So he (‘a) said: ‘This is regarding us’136.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن علي بن النعمان، عمن ذكره، عن ابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام في قول ﷲ "ان عبادي ليس لك عليهم سلطان" فقال: ليس على هذه العصابة خاصة سلطان، قلت: وكيف وفيهم ما فيهم؟ فقال: ليس حيث تذهب، انما هو ليس لك عليهم سلطان أن تحبب إليهم الكفر وتبغض إليهم الايمان.

From him, from his father, from Ali Ibn Al-Nu’man, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) regarding the Words of Allah (azwj): “Surely, with regards to My servants, you (Satan) have no authority over them” (15:42). So he (‘a) said: ‘There is not upon this group especially (Shi’a), an authority’. I said, ‘And how, regarding them is what is regarding them?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘It is not where you are going with it (understanding it). But rather, he (Satan) has no authority over them that he should make them love ‘الكفر’ the disbelief, and make them hate the Iman (belief)’137.

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن حنان بن سدير وعلي بن رئاب، عن زرارة، قال: قلت لابي جعفر عليه السلام: قوله "لاقعدن لهم صراطك المستقيم، ثم لآتينهم من بين أيديهم ومن خلفهم وعن ايمانهم وعن شمائلهم ولا تجد أكثرهم شاكرين" فقال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: يا زرارة انما صمد لك والصحابك فأما الآخرين فقد فرغ منهم.

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hanaan Ibn Sudeyr and Ali Ibn Ra’ib, from Zarara who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far (‘a), ‘His (azwj) Words: “I will sit in wait for them in Your Straight Path” (7:16). “Then I will come to them from, in front of them and from behind them, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and You shall not find most of them to be thankful” (7:17). So Abu Ja’far (‘a) said: ‘O Zarara! But rather, he (Satan) is lying in wait for you (Shi’a) and for your companions. So as for the other ones, he has finished (free) from them’138.

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن بعض الكوفيين، عن عنبسة، عن جابر، عن ابي جعفر عليه السلام في قول ﷲ تعالى" الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات اولئك هم خير البرية" قال: هم شيعتنا أهل البيت.

Chapter 37: Purification Of The Believer

- 37 باب تطهير المؤمن

عنه، عن ابيه، عمن حدثه، عن ابي سالم النخاس، عن محمد بن مسلم قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: وﷲ لا يصف عبد هذا الامر فتطمه النار، قلت: ان فيهم من يفعل ويفعل، فقال: انه إذا كان ذلك ابتلى ﷲ تبارك وتعالى أحدهم في جسده فان كان ذلك كفارة لذنوبه وإلا ضيق ﷲ عليه في رزقه، فان كان كقارة لذنوبه وإلا شدد ﷲ عليه موته حتى يأتي ﷲ ولا ذنب له ثم يدخله الجنة.

From him, from his father, from the one who narrated it, from Abu Salaam Al-Nakhaas, from Muhammad Ibn Muslim who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! A servant described to be upon this matter (Al-Wilayah), would not be consumed by the Fire’. I said, ‘Even if among them is the one who does what he does?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘If it was that, Allah (azwj) Blessed and High would Test one of them with regards to his body (illness etc.), for that would be an expiation for his sins, or Allah (azwj) would Straiten his sustenance, so it would be an expiation for his sins, or Make his death to be difficult for him, until he comes to Allah (azwj), and there is no sin for him. Then he would be entering the Paradise’141.

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن محمد بن القاسم، عن داود بن فرقد، عن يعقوب بن شعيب، قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: رجل يعمل بكذا وكذا فلم ادع شيئا إلا قلته وهو يعرف هذا الامر، فقال: هذا يرجى له والناصب لا يرجى له، وان كان كما تقول لم يخرج من الدنيا حتى يسلط ﷲ عليه شيئا يكفر ﷲ عنه به، إما فقرا وإما مرضا.

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Ibn Al-Qasim, from Dawood, from Yaqoub Ibn Shuayb who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘A man does such and such, so he does not leave anything except that he does it, and he recognises this matter (Al-Wilayah)’. So he (‘a) said: ‘This one, there is hope for him, and the Nasibi (Hostile one), there is no hope for him. And if it is as you are saying it to be, he would not exit from the world until Allah (azwj) Causes something to overcome him which would be an expiation for his sins by it, be it poverty, or illness’142.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن ابراهيم بن عمر، عن أبي الصباح الكناني، قال: كنت أنا زرارة عند أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام فقال:لا تطعم النار أحدا وصف هذا الامر فقال زرارة: إن فيمن يصف هذا الامر من يعمل موجبات الكبائر، فقال: أو ما تدرى ما كان أبي يقول في ذلك، إنه كان يقول: إذا تاب الرجل منهم من تلك الذنوب شيئا ابتلاه ﷲ ببلية في جسده، أو خوف يدخله عليه حتى يخرجه من الدنيا وقد خرج من ذنوبه.

From him, from his father, from Hammad Ibn ‘Isa, from Ibrahim Ibn Umar, from Abu Al-Sabah Al-Kanany who said,

‘I and Zarara were in the presence of Abu Abd Allah (‘a), so he (‘a) said: ‘The Fire will not consume anyone described to be upon this matter (Al-Wilayah)’. So Zarara said, ‘If the one described to be upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is one who commits major sins?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘Do you not know what my (‘a) father (‘a) has said about this?’ He (‘a) said: ‘When the man among them repents for any of those sins, Allah (azwj) Tests him with a calamity upon his body, or fear would enter into him, until he exits from the world, having exited from his sins’143.

"كالمقارع معه بسيفه، والشهيد معه له شهادتان.

‘I said to Abu Ja’far (‘a), ‘May Allah (azwj) Keep you well! We have neglected our markets (businesses) awaiting for this matter (Al-Qa’im (‘a)) to the extent that the man from us asks for what is in his hands (poor)’. So he (‘a) said: ‘O Abdul Hameed! Have you ever seen one who locks himself to Allah (azwj), Allah (azwj) does not Make a way out for him? Yes, by Allah (azwj)! Allah (azwj) would Make a way out for him. May Allah (azwj) have Mercy upon a servant who has locked himself to us! May Allah (azwj) have Mercy upon the one who revived our (‘a) matter’. I said, ‘So if he were to die before he sees Al-Qa’im (‘a)?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘The speaker among you who says, ‘If I were to see Al-Qa’im (‘a) of the Progeny (‘a) of Muhammad (S), I will help him (‘a)’, is like the one who joined up with him (‘a) with his sword. And is martyred with him (‘a), for him are (the Rewards of) two martyrdoms’148.

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘There is nothing in between one who is described to be upon this matter (awaiting Al-Qa’im (‘a)), and between he being joyful at what would delight his eyes, except that his soul reaches over here. So it is said to him, ‘What you had hoped for, so proceed towards it, and whatever it was that you were fearing from, so you are now secure from it, and in front of you is your true Imam (‘a). Proceed towards Rasul Allah (‘a), and Ali, and Al-Hasan (‘a), and Al-Husayn (‘a)’152.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن عبد ﷲ بن الوليد النخعي قال: سمعت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام يقول: أشهد على أبي عليه السلام انه كان يقول: ما بين أحدكم وبين أن يغتبط ويرى ما تقر به عينه إلا أن تبلغ نفسه هذه وأومأ بيده إلى حلقه وقد قال ﷲ تبارك وتعالى: "ولقد أرسلنا رسلا من قبلك وجعلنا لهم أزواجا وذرية" فنحن وﷲ ذرية رسول ﷲ) صلى ﷲ عليه وآله.(

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن عبد الحميد بن عواض قال: سمعت أبا عبد ﷲ عليه السلام يقول: إذا بلغت نفس أحدكم هذه قيل له: أماما كنت تحزن من هم الدنيا وحزنها فقد أمنت منه ويقال له: أمامك رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله وعلي وفاطمة صلوات ﷲ عليهما.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Hammad Ibn ‘Uthman, from Abdul Hameed Ibn Awaaz who said,

‘I heard Abu Abd Allah (‘a) saying: ‘When the soul of one of you reaches here (throat), so it is said to him: ‘But, as for what used to grieve you from the worries of the world and its grief, so you are secure from it’. And it is said to him: ‘In front of you is Rasul Allah (S), and Ali, and Sayyida Fatimah (‘a)’.

ورواه عن ابن فضال، عن أبي جميلة، عن أبي بكر الحضرمي، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، وزاد فيه "الحسن والحسين عليهما السلام."

And it has been reported from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Abu Jameela, from Abu Bakr Al-Hazramy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a), and in it is more: ‘Al-Hasan (‘a) and Al-Husayn (‘a)’155.

عنه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن عبد الحميد الطائى قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: إن أشد ما يكون عدوكم كراهة لهذا الامر إلى أن بلغت نفسه هذه وأومى بيده إلى حلقه، وأشد ما يكون أحدكم اغتباطا بهذا الامر إذا بلغت نفسه إلى هذه وأومى بيده إلى حلقه فينقطع عنه أهوال الدنيا وما كان يحاذر فيها ويقال: أمامك رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله وعلي وفاطمة عليهما السلام ثم قال: أما فاطمة فلا تذكرها.

From him, from Al-Nazar Ibn Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdul Hameed Al-Ta’aie who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘The most intense of what your enemy would become hateful to this matter is when his soul reaches this’ – and he (‘a) gestured by his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) own throat – ‘And the most intense of what one of you would become joyful by this matter is when his soul reaches to this’ – and he (‘a) gestured by his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) own throat. So the state of the world is cut-off from him, and what he was caution in it, and it is said: ‘In front of you is Rasul Allah (S), and Ali, and Sayyida Fatimah (‘a)’. Then he (‘a) said: ‘As for Sayyida Fatimah, so do not mention her (‘a)’ (by her (‘a) name in public)156.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Muhammad Ibn Fudha’il, from Abd Allah Ibn Abu Yafour who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘I was embarrassed at responding this speech to you all. What is between one of you and the joyfulness except the reaching of his soul to this’ – and he (‘a) gestured by his hand to his windpipe. Rasul Allah (S) and Ali would come to him, so they (‘a) would be saying: ‘As for what you were fearing from, so Allah (azwj) has Secured you from it; and as for what you were hoping for, so it is in front of you’157.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن عقبة بن خالد، قال: دخلنا على أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام أنا ومعلى بن خنيس فقال: يا عقبة لا يقبل ﷲ من العباد يوم القيامة إلا هذا الذي أنتم عليه، وما بين أحدكم وبين أن يرى ما تقر به عينه إلا أن تبلغ نفسه هذه وأومأ بيده إلى الوريد،

‘We came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a); I and Mu’alla Ibn Khunays. So he (‘a) said: ‘Allah (azwj) will not Accept from the servant on the Day of Judgement except those who are upon what you are upon, and there is nothing in between one of you seeing what would delight his eyes except for the reaching of his soul to this – and he (‘a) gestured by his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) jugular (vein)’.

(قال): ثم اتكأ وغمز إلي المعلى أن سله فقلت: يا بن رسول ﷲ إذا بلغت نفسه هذه فأي شئ يرى؟ - فردد عليه بضعة عشر مرة "أي شئ يرى؟" فقال في كلها: "يرى" لا يزيد عليها، ثم جلس في آخرها، فقال: يا عقبة، قلت: لبيك وسعديك، فقال: أبيت إلا أن تعلم؟ - فقلت: نعم يا بن رسول ﷲ انما دينى مع دمى فإذا ذهب دمى كان ذلك، وكيف بك يا بن رسول ﷲ كل ساعة وبكيت، فرق لي

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he (‘a) reclined and gestured to Al-Mu’alla to question him (‘a). So I said, ‘O son (‘a) of Rasul Allah (S)! When his soul reaches to here, which thing would he see?’ So he (‘a) responded to him with a finger, ten times ‘Which thing would he see?’ So he (‘a) said during each of it: ‘He sees’ – not increasing to him. Then he (‘a) became seated at the end of it, so he (‘a) said: ‘O Uqba! I said, ‘Here I am, at your service!’ So he (‘a) said, ‘You refuse, except to know?’ So I said, ‘Yes, O son (‘a) of Rasul Allah (S)! But rather, my Religion is in my blood, so if my blood were to flow out, that would be that. And how would it be with you, O son (‘a) of Rasul Allah (S), every time, and I weep, (of your) separation (from) me’.

فقال: يراهما وﷲ، قلت بأبي أنت وأمى من هما؟ - فقال: ذاك رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله وعلي عليه السلام، يا عقبة لن تموت نفس مؤمنة أبدا حتى تراهما، قلت: فإذا نظر إيهما المؤمن أيرجع إلى الدنيا؟ - قال: لا، بل يمضى أمامه،

So he (‘a) said: ‘He sees the both of them (‘a), by Allah (azwj)’. I said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you! Who two?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘That is Rasul Allah (S) and Ali. O Uqba! Never does a believing soul die, ever, until he sees the two of them (‘a)’. I said, ‘So when the Believer sees the two of them (‘a), does he return to the world?’ He (‘a) said: ‘But, he dies in front of them (‘a)’.

فقلت له: يقولان شيئا جعلت فداك؟ - فقال: نعم، يدخلان جميعا على المؤمن فيجلس رسول ﷲ (صلى ﷲ عليه وآله) عند ﷲ رأسه وعلي (عليه السلام) عند رجليه فيكب عليه رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله فيقول، يا ولي ﷲ أبشر أنا رسول ﷲ، إني خير لك مما تترك من الدنيا ثم ينهض رسول ﷲ، فيقدم عليه علي صلوات ﷲ عليه حتى يكب عليه فيقول: يا ولي أبشر أنا علي بن أبي طالب الذي كنت تحبنى أما لانفعنك

So, I said to him (‘a), ‘Do the two of them (‘a) say anything, may I be sacrificed for you?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘Yes. They both (‘a) come up to the Believer, so Rasul Allah (S) sits at his head, and Ali at his feet. So Rasul Allah (S) turns towards him saying: ‘O friend of Allah (azwj)! Be joyful. I am Rasul Allah (S), and I am better for you than what you have left from the world’. Then Rasul Allah (S) rises, and Ali comes forward until he (‘a) turns towards him saying: ‘O friend of Allah (azwj)! Be joyful. I am Ali Ibn Abu Talib (‘a), the one (‘a) whom you used to love. I shall be of advantage for you’.

(ثم قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام): أما إن هذا في كتاب ﷲ عزوجل، قلت: اين هذا جعلت فداك من كتاب ﷲ؟ - قال: في سورة يونس قول ﷲ تبارك وتعالى ههنا "الذين آمنوا وكانوا يتقون، لهم البشرى في الحيوة الدنيا وفى الآخرة، لا تبديل لكلمات ﷲ ذلك هو الفوز العظيم "

(Then Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said): ‘But, this is in the Book of Allah (azwj)’. I said, ‘And where is this from the Book of Allah (azwj), may I be sacrificed for you?’ He (‘a) said to me: ‘Surah Yunus (Chapter 10), the Words of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “Those who had believed and were pious” (10:63); “For them is good news in the life of the world and in the Hereafter; there is no changing the Words of Allah; that is the mighty achievement” (10:64)’158.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر، عن يحيى الحلبي عن قتيبة الاعشى، عن أبي – عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: أما إن أحوج ما تكونون فيه إلى حبنا حين تبلغ نفس أحدكم هذه (وأومى بيده إلى نحره) ثم قال: لا، بل إلى ههنا (وأومى بيده إلى حنجرته)، فيأتيه البشير فيقول: أما ما كنت تخافه فقد أمنت منه.

From him, from his father, from Al-Nazar, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Quteyba Al-A’sha,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘But you would become in dire need for our (‘a) love when the soul of one of you reaches this’ – and he (‘a) gestured by his hand to his (‘a) throat. Then he (‘a) said: ‘No, but to over here’ – and he (‘a) gestured by his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) windpipe – ‘So there would come to him the Bashir (giver of good news), so he would be saying: ‘But, as for what you used to fear, you are secure from it’159.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن بشير الكناسى، قال: دخلنا على أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام فقال: حدث أصحابكم أن أبي كان يقول: ما بين أحدكم وبين أن يغتبط إلا أن تبلغ نفسه هذه (وأومى بيده إلى حلقه).

From him, from his father, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Bashir Al-Kanasy who said,

‘We came up to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), so he (‘a) said: ‘Narrate to your companions that my (‘a) father (‘a) was saying: ‘There is nothing in between one of you and him being joyful except the reaching of his soul to here’ – and he (‘a) gestured by his (‘a) hand to his (‘a) own throat’160.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن الخطاب الكوفي و مصعب الكوفي، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام أنه قال لسدير: والذي بعث محمدا بالنبوة وعجل روحه إلى الجنة ما بين أحدكم وبين أن يغتبط ويرى السرور أو تبين له الندامة والحسرة إلا أن يعاين ما قال ﷲ عزوجل في كتابه: "عن اليمين وعن الشمال قعيد"

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Muhammad Ibn Muslim, from Al-Khataab Al-Kufy and Mas’ab Al-Kufy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said to Sudeyr: ‘By the One Who (azwj) Sent Muhammad (S) with the Prophet-hood and Hastened his (S) soul to the Paradise, what is between one of you and him being joyful and seeing and finding pleasure, or the remorse and regret being explained to him, except for him seeing what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said in His (azwj) Book: “(When the two receivers receive), seated on the right and on the left” (50:17).

وأتاه ملك الموت يقبض روحه فينادى روحه فتخرج من جسده، فأما المؤمن فما يحس بخروجها وذلك قول ﷲ تبارك وتعالى"يا أيتها النفس المطمئنة، ارجعي إلى ربك راضية مرضية، فادخلي في عبادي، وادخلي جنتي"

And the Angel of death captures his soul, so it comes out from his body. As for the Believer, so he does not even feel it coming out, and these are the Words of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High:“O soul that art at rest!” (89:27); “Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him)” (89:28); “So enter among My servants” (89:29); “And enter into My garden” (89:30)’.

ثم قال: ذلك لمن كان ورعا مواسيا لاخوانه وصولا لهم، وان كان غير ورع ولا وصولا لاخوانه قيل له: ما منعك من الورع والمواساة لاخوانك؟ أنت ممن انتحل المحبة بلسانه ولم يصدق ذلك بفعل، وإذا لقى رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله وأمير المؤمنين صلوات ﷲ عليه لقيهما معرضين، مقطبين في وجهه، غير شافعين له،

Then he (‘a) said: ‘That is for the one who was pious, considering his brethren as equal, and maintain relationships with them. And if he was not pious and did not maintain good relationships to his brethren, it is said to him, ‘What prevented you from the piety and the equality to your brethren? You are from the ones who arrogated the love with your tongue but did not ratify that by the deed’. When he meets Rasul Allah (S) and Amir al-Mu’minin (‘a), he would be meeting the two of them (‘a) turning their (‘a) faces away from him, frowning in his face, not interceding for him’.

قال سدير: من جدع ﷲ أنفه، قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام فهو ذلك.

Sudeyr said, ‘May Allah (azwj) Mutilate his nose’. Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘So he is that’161.

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن العلاء بن رزين، عن محمد بن مسلم قال: سمعت أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: اتقوا ﷲ واستعينوا على ما أنتم عليه بالورع والاجتهاد في طاعة ﷲ، فان أشد ما يكون أحدكم اغتباطا ما هو عليه لو قد صار في حد الآخرة وانقطعت الدنيا عنه، فإذا كان في ذلك الحد عرف أنه قد استقبل النعيم والكرامة من ﷲ والبشرى بالجنة، وأمن ممن كان يخاف، وأيقن أن الذي كان عليه هو الحق، وأن من خالف دينه على باطل هالك.

From him, from Al-Hasan Ibn Mahboub, from Al-A’ala Ibn Razeyn, from Muhammad Ibn Muslim who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far (‘a) saying: ‘Fear Allah (azwj), and seek Assistance for what you are upon by the piety and the striving in obedience to Allah (azwj), for the most intensely joyful what one of you would become for what he is upon, if he were to go to the limits of the Hereafter and the world is cut-off from him. So, when it is that limit, he would recognise that he had accepted the Bounties and the Prestige from Allah (azwj), and the good news of the Paradise, and security from the one he was afraid of, and he would ascertain that what he used to be upon, it is the Truth. And if one opposes his Religion to the falsehood, he is destroyed’162.

Chapter 40: Souls Of The Believers

- 40باب أرواح المؤمنين

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن جميل بن دراج، قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: إن المؤمنين إذا أخذوا مضاجعهم أصعد ﷲ بأرواحهم إليه، فمن قضى له عليه الموت جعله في رياض الجنة في كنوز رحمته ونور عزته، وان لم يقدر عليه الموت بعث بها مع أمنائه من الملائكة إلى الابدان التي هي فيها.

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah (‘a) from Jameel Ibn Daraaj who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘When the Believers take to their beds, Allah (azwj) Causes their souls to ascend to Him (azwj). So, the one for whom the death has been Ordained, Makes his to be in a Garden of the Paradise, among the treasures of His (azwj) Mercy, and Light of His (azwj) Honour. And if the death is not Ordained for them, they are Sent with the trustworthy Angels to the bodies which they had been from’163.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: ذكر الارواح أرواح المؤمنين فقال: يلتقون، قلت: يلتقون؟ - فقال: يتساءلون ويتعارفون حتى إذا رأيته قلت: فلان.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Hammad Ibn ‘Utham, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a), said, ‘There was a mention of souls, the souls of the Believers, so he (‘a) said: ‘They are meeting (each other)’. I said, ‘Meeting?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘They are asking around, and recognising, to the extent when they see it, say, ‘So and so’164.

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن ابراهيم بن اسحاق الجازي قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: أين أرواح المؤمنين؟ - فقال: أرواح المؤمنين في حجرات في الجنة، يأكلون من طعامها ويشربون من شرابها ويتزاورون فيها ويقولون: "ربنا أقم لنا الساعة لتنجز لنا ما وعدتنا"، قال: قلت: فأين أرواح الكفار؟ - فقال: في حجرات في النار، يأكلون من طعامها ويشربون من شرابها ويتزاورون فيها ويقولون: "ربنا لا تقم لنا الساعة لتنجز لنا ما وعدتنا."

From him, from Al-Hasan Ibn Mahboob, from Ibrahim Ibn Is’haq Al-Jaazy who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘Where are the souls of the Believers?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘The souls of the Believers are in chambers in the Paradise, eating from its food, and drinking from its drinks, and they are visiting (each other) therein and saying, ‘Our Lord (azwj)! Establish the Hour for us, so that it can be accomplished for us what has been Promised to us’. I said, ‘So where are the souls of the disbelievers?’ So he (‘a) said: ‘In chambers in the Fire, eating from its food, and drinking from its drinks, and visiting (each other) therein, and saying, ‘Our Lord (azwj)! Do not Establish the Hour for us, so that it may be accomplished what has been Promised to us’165.

Chapter 41: Regarding The Resurrection

- 41 باب في البعث

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ الجعفري، عن أبي الحسن الدهني وعن جميل بن دراج، عن أبان بن تغلب قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: إن ﷲ يبعث شيعتنا يوم القيامة على ما فيهم من ذنوب أو غيره مبيضة وجوههم، مستورة عوراتهم، آمنة روعتهم، قد سهلت لهم الموارد وذهبت عنهم الشدائد، يركبون نوقا من ياقوت فلا يزالون يدورون خلال الجنة، عليهم شرك من نور يتلالا، توضع لهم الموائد فلا يزالون يطعمون والناس في الحساب،

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah Al-Ja’fary, from Abu Al-Hasan Al-Dahny, and from Jameel Ibn Daraaj, from Aban Ibn Taghlub who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘Allah (azwj) would Resurrect our (‘a) Shi’a on the Day of Judgement, upon what is within them of sins or other such things. Their faces being whitened, their private parts veiled, safe from their traumas, their resources having been facilitated, and the difficulties being taken away from them, riding she-camels of sapphire. So they would not cease to circle the sides of the Paradise. Upon them would be straps of sparkling light, and there would be placed for them the feast and they would not cease eating, and the (rest of the) people would be in the Reckoning.

وهو قول ﷲ تبارك وتعالى في كتابه: "إن الذين سبقت لهم منا الحسنى أولئك عنها مبعدون، لا يسمعون حسيسها وهم فيما اشتهت أنفسهم خالدون."

And these are the Words of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High in His (azwj) Book: “Surely (as for) those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they shall be remote from it” (21:101); “They will not hear its (Hell’s) faintest sound, and they shall abiding eternally in that which their souls long for” (21:102)’166.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن عبيس بن هشام، عن أسباط بن سالم، عن أبي - عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: يخرج شيعتنا من قبورهم على نوق بيض لها أجنحة، وشرك نعالهم نور يتلالا، قد وضعت عنهم الشدائد وسهلت لهم الموارد، مستورة عوراتهم، مسكنة روعاتهم، قد اعطوا الامن والايمان، وانقطت عنهم الاحزان، يخاف الناس ولا يخافون، ويحزن الناس ولا يحزنون، وهم في ظل عرش الرحمن، توضع لهم مائدة يأكلون منها و الناس في الحساب.

From him, from Muhammad Ibn Ali, from Ubeys Ibn Hisham, from Asbat Ibn Salim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘Our Shi’a would be coming out from their graves upon a white she-camel having wings for her, and their shoes would be shining with sparkling light. The difficulties having been placed away from them, and the resources having been facilitated for them, their private parts being veiled, tranquil from their traumas. They would have been Given security and faith, and the grief being cut-off from them.

The people would be fearing but they would not be fearing, and the people would be grieving but they would not be grieving. And they would be under the Shade of the Throne of the Beneficent. The food would be placed for them. They would be eating from it, and the (rest of the) people would be in the Reckoning’167.

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن عبد ﷲ بن سنان، عن عبد ﷲ بن شريك العامري، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: بينا رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله في نفر من أصحابه فيهم علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام، فقال: يخرج قوم من قبورهم وجوههم أشد بياضا من القمر، عليهم ثياب أشد بياضا من اللبن، عليهم نعال من نور شركها من ذهب،

From him, from Yaqoub Ibn Yazid, from Muhammad Ibn Abu Umayr, from Abu Abd Allah Ibn Sinan, from Abd Allah Ibn Shareek Al-Aamiry, from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said:

‘Rasul Allah (S) was explaining matters among a number of his (S) companions, among whom was Ali Ibn Abu Talib (‘a). So he (S) said: ‘A (group of) people would come out from their graves, and their faces would be more intensely whiter than the moon. Upon them would be clothes more intensely whiter than the milk. Upon them would be shoes of light whose straps would be from gold.

فيؤتون بنجائب من نور، عليها رحائل من نور، أزمتها سلاسل من ذهب، وركبها من زبرجد، فيركبون عليها حتى يصيروا أمام العرش والناس يهتمون و يغتمون ويحزنون وهم يأكلون ويشربون،

So they would be Given carriages of ‘نور’ Light, attached to rides of ‘نور’, its chains being of gold, and its reins from aquamarine. So they would be riding upon it until they travel to the front of the Throne. And the (rest of the) people would be uncared for, gloomy and grieving, whilst they would be eating and drinking’.

فقال علي عليه السلام: من هم يا رسول ﷲ؟ - فقال: أولئك شيعتك وأنت إمامهم.

So Ali said: ‘Who would they be, O Rasul Allah (S)?’ So he (S) said: ‘They would be your Shi’a, and you are their Imam (‘a)’168.

عنه، عن عبد الرحمن بن حماد، عن عبد ﷲ بن ابراهيم الغفاري، عن علي بن أبي علي اللهبي رفعه قال: قال رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله: أجلس يوم القيامة بين ابراهيم وعلي، ابراهيم عن يمينى وعلي عن يسارى، فينادى مناد: "نعم الاب أبوك ابراهيم، ونعم الاخ أخوك علي.

From him, from Abdul Rahman Ibn Hammad, from Abd Allah Ibn Ibrahim Al-Ghafary, from Ali Ibn Abu Ali Al-Jahby, raising it, said,

‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘I would be seated on the Day of Judgement in between Ibrahim (‘a) and Ali. Ibrahim (‘a) being on my right, and Ali on my left. So, a Caller would Call out: ‘The best of the fathers is your father Ibrahim (‘a), and the best of the brothers is your brother (‘a) Ali!’169

عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن حماد بن عثمان وغيره، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام في قول ﷲ عزوجل" :يوم نحشر المتقين إلى الرحمن وفدا" قال: يحشرون على النجائب.

From Yaqoub Ibn Yazid, from Ibn Abu Umayr, from Hammad Ibn ‘Utham and someone else,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) regarding the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “The Day on which We will Gather the pious to the Beneficent as a (Royal) delegation. They would be Gathered upon carriages” (19:85)’170.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: إذا كان يوم القيامة دعى برسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله فيكسى حلة وردية، فقلت: جعلت فداك: وردية؟ - قال: نعم، أما سمعت قول ﷲ عزوجل: "فإذا انشقت السماء فكانت وردة كالدهان" ثم يدعى علي فيقوم على يمين رسول ﷲ ثم يدعى من شاء ﷲ فيقومون على يمين علي، ثم يدعى شيعتنا فيقومون على يمين من شاء ﷲ، ثم قال: يابا محمد أين ترى ينطلق بنا؟ - قال: قلت :إلى الجنة وﷲ، قال: ما شاء ﷲ

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, Rasul Allah (S) would be summoned, and he (S) would be wearing a rosy garment’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! A rosy garment?’ He (‘a) said: ‘Yes. Have you not heard the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “So when the sky is split, would become rosy like red hide” (55:37)? Then Ali will be Called. He (‘a) will stand on the right of Rasul Allah (S). Then Allah (azwj) will Call whosoever that He (azwj) so Desires to. They will all stand on the right of Ali. Then our (‘a) Shi’a will be Called. They will all stand on the right of whosoever that Allah (azwj) so Desires.’ Then he (‘a) said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Where do you see yourself going with us?’ I said, ‘To Paradise.’ He (‘a) said: ‘Whatever Allah (azwj) so Desires171.

عنه، عن أبيه والحسن بن علي بن فضال جميعا، عن علي بن النعمان، عن الحارث بن محمد الاحول، عمن حدثه، عن أبي جعفر وأبي عبد ﷲ عليهما السلام قالا: قال رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله لعلي: يا علي إنه لما أسرى بي رأيت في الجنة نهرا أبيض من اللبن، وأحلى من العسل، وأشد استقامة من السهم، فيه أباريق عدد النجوم، على شاطئه قباب الياقوت الاحمر والدر الابيض، فضرب جبرئيل بجناحيه إلى جانبه فإذا هو مسكة ذفرة،

From him, from his father and Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Fadhdhal together, from Ali Ibn Al-Nu’man, from Al-Haris Ibn Muhammad Al-Ahowl, from the one who narrated it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) and Abu Abd Allah (‘a), having said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said to Ali: ‘When I was Ascended with, I saw in the Paradise, a River whiter than milk, and sweeter than honey, and straighter than an arrow. In it were pitchers the number of the stars. Upon its banks were domes of red sapphire, and while gems. So Jibra’il (‘a) flapped his (‘a) wings to its side, so it was Musk’.

ثم قال: والذي نفس محمد بيده إن في الجنة لشجرا يتصفق بالتسبيح بصوت لم يسمع الاولون والآخرون بمثله، يثمر ثمرا كالرمان، يلقى الثمرة إلى الرجل فيشقها عن سبعين حلة، والمؤمنون على كراسي من نور وهم الغر المحجلون أنت إمامهم يوم القيامة على الرجل منهم نعلان شراكهما من نور يضئ أمامهم حيث شاء وامن الجنة،

Then he (S) said: ‘By the One is Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad (S), in the Paradise there are trees which Glorify with the Glorification with a sound which none from the Former ones or the Later ones have heard the like of, bearing fruit like the pomegranate fruits. The fruit is placed for the man from seventy curtains, and the Believers would be upon the chairs of ‘نور’ Light, honourable, resplendent faced. You are their Imam (‘a) on the Day of Judgement. Upon the man would be sandals with straps of light, illuminating their front wherever they may go in the Paradise.

فبينا هم كذلك إذ أشرفت عليه امرأة من فوقه تقول: "سبحان ﷲ! يا عبد ﷲ أمالنا منك دولة؟ - " فيقول: من أنت؟ - فتقول: أنا من اللواتى قال ﷲ تعالى: "فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفى لهم من قرة أعين جزاء بما كانوا يعملون"

So, between that, when a woman would emerge from above him, she would be saying, ‘Glory be to Allah (azwj) – O servant of Allah (azwj) – is there no state for us, from you?’ So he would be saying: ‘Who are you?’ So she would be saying, ‘I am from these women for whom Allah (azwj) the High Says: “So no soul knows what is hidden for it of that which will delight the eyes; a Recompense for what they had been doing” (32:17)’.

ثم قال: والذي نفس محمد بيده إنه ليجيئه كل يوم سبعون ألف ملك يسمونه باسمه واسم أبيه.

Then he (azwj) said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (azwj), there come seventy thousand Angels naming him by his name and the name of his father’172.

From him, from Salih Ibn Al-Sindy, from Ja’far Ibn Bashir, from Sabah Al-Haza’a, from Aban Ibn Tabligh

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, a Caller would Call out: ‘The one who testified that there is no god except for Allah (azwj), so he should enter the Paradise’.

So, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! There will come to me every type (of people), so I should report to them this Hadith?’ He (‘a) said: ‘Yes. O Aban Ibn Taghlub: When it will be the Day of Judgement, Allah (azwj) Blessed and High would Gather the former ones and the later ones in one Garden, so He (azwj) would Confiscate, ‘There is no god except for Allah (azwj)’ except from the one who was upon this matter (Al-Wilayah)’174.

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘Rasul Allah (S) said: ‘On the right of the Throne there would be a people with faces of ‘نور’ Light upon Pulpits of Light, being the envy of the Prophets (‘a), but they would be neither Prophets (‘a) nor Martyrs’. So they said, ‘O Prophet (S) of Allah (S)! And who are these additional ones from Allah (azwj), when they will neither be Prophets (‘a), nor Martyrs, but they are in the Proximity from Allah (azwj)?’ He (S) said: ‘Those would be the Shi’a of Ali, and Ali is their Imam (‘a)’175.

From him, from Ibn Fazal, from Masny Al-Hanaat, from Muhammad Ibn Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) approximately, and there is a differing with regards to its wordings. He (‘a) said: ‘They would be the envy of the Prophets (‘a) and the Mursil Prophets (‘a)’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! What great is the status of these people?’ So, he (‘a) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! (They are) the Shi’a of Ali, and Ali is their Imam (‘a)’176.

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Al-Husayn Ibn Abu Al-A’la who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘O Husayn! No one is closer to Allah (azwj) than our (‘a) Shi’a, and how beautiful is Allah (azwj)’s Conduct towards them on the Day of Judgment! By Allah (azwj)! If there was no risk of their souls getting spoiled and they would go around boasting about their status, indeed Angels would descend and appear (in person) to say ‘Salaam’ to them.178

Chapter 44: Our Shi’a Would Be Attaching Themselves To Us

- 44باب "شيعتنا آخذون بحجزتنا "

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن يحيى بن زكريا أخى دارم قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام :كان أبي يقول: إن شيعتنا آخذون بحجزتنا، ونحن آخذون بحجزة نبينا، ونبينا آخذ بحجزة ﷲ.

From him, from Al-Hasan Ibn Ali Ibn Fadhdhal, from Ali Ibn Uqba, from Yahya Ibn Zakariyya brother of Daraam who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘My father (‘a) was saying: ‘Our (‘a) Shi’a would be attaching themselves to us and we (‘a) would be attaching ourselves (‘a) to the our (‘a) Prophet (S), and our (‘a) Prophet (S) would be attaching himself (S) to Allah (azwj)’179.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن أبي بصير قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: إذا كان يوم القيامة أخذ رسول ﷲ (صلى ﷲ عليه وآله) بحجزة ربه، وأخذ علي عليه السلام بحجزة رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله، وأخذنا بحجزة علي (ع)، وأخذ شيعتنا بحجزتنا، فأين ترون يوردنا رسول ﷲ (صلى ﷲ عليه وآله)؟ - قلت: إلى الجنة.

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, Rasul Allah (S) would be attached to his (S) Lord (azwj), and Ali would attach himself (‘a) to Rasul Allah (S), and we (‘a) would be attaching ourselves (‘a) to Ali, and our (‘a) Shi’a would be attaching themselves to us. So where do you see Rasul Allah (S) returning to?’ I said, ‘To the Paradise’180.

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن ابن مسكان، عمن حدثه، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: كان علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام يقول: إن أحق الناس بالورع والاجتهاد فيما يحب ﷲ ويرضى الاوصياء وأتباعهم، أما ترضون أنه لو كانت فزعة من السماء فزع كل قوم إلى مأمنهم، وفزعتم إلينا، وفزعنا إلى نبينا، إن نبينا آخذ بحجزة ربه، ونحن آخذون بحجزة نبينا، وشيعتنا آخذون بحجزتنا.

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Ibn Muskaan, from the one who narrated it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far (‘a) having said: ‘Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (‘a) was saying: ‘The most rightful of the people with the piety and the striving is what Allah (azwj) loves, and what the successors (‘a) are pleased with, and following them (‘a). But, are you not pleased that if there were to be a terror from the sky, every people would panic to what is secure for them, and you would be panicking to us, and we would be going to out Prophet (S), and our (‘a) prophet (S) would be attaching himself (S) to his (S) Lord (azwj), and we (‘a) would be attaching ourselves (‘a) to our (‘a) Prophet (S), and our (‘a) Shi’a would be attaching themselves to us’181.

عنه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن بريد بن معاوية العجلي قال: قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: ما تبغون؟ أو ما تريدون غير أنها لو كانت فزعة من السماء فزع كل قوم إلى مأمنهم، وفزعنا إلى نبينا، وفزعتم إلينا؟.

From him, from Al-Nazar Ibn Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Bureyd Ibn Muawiya Al-Ajaly who said,

‘Abu Ja’far (‘a) said: ‘What is your joyfulness? What do you want apart from that if there were to be a terror from the sky, every people would be alarmed to what is secure for them, and we (‘a) would be alarmed to our (‘a) Prophet (S), and you would be alarmed to us?’182

عنه، عن أبيه، عن سعدان بن مسلم، عن معاوية بن وهب، قال: سألت أبا – عبد ﷲ عليه السلام عن قول ﷲ تبارك وتعالى: "لا يتكلمون إلا من أذن له الرحمن وقال صوابا" قال: نحن وﷲ المأذون لهم في ذلك اليوم والقائلون صوابا، قلت: جعلت فداك وما تقولون إذا كلمتم؟ - قال: نمجد ربنا ونصلي على نبينا ونشفع لشيعتنا فلا يردنا ربنا.

From him, from his father, from Sa’dan Ibn Muslim, from Muawiya Ibn Wahab who said,

‘I asked Abu Abd Allah (‘a) about the Words of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “The Day on which the Spirit and the Angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak except he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing” (78:38). He (‘a) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! We (‘a) are the Permitted ones during that day, and the speakers of the right thing’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! And what would you be saying when you speak?’ He (‘a) said: ‘We (azwj) would be Glorifying our (‘a) Lord (azwj), and sending ‘Salawaat’ upon our (‘a) Prophet (S), and interceding for our (‘a) Shi’a. So, our (‘a) Lord (azwj) would not be Repulsing us’183.

وباسناده قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: قوله: "من ذا الذي يشفع عنده إلا باذنه، يعلم ما بين أيديهم وما خلفهم" (أي من هم؟ )- قال: نحن اولئك الشافعون.

And by his chain who said,

‘I said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘His (azwj) Words: “who is he that can intercede with Him except by His Permission? He Knows what is in front of them and what is behind them” (2:255) i.e., who are they?’ He (‘a) said: ‘We (‘a) are those interceders’184.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن معاوية بن عمار، عن أبي العباس المكى قال: دخل مولى لامرأة علي بن الحسين صلوات ﷲ عليهما على أبي جعفر عليه السلام يقال له أبو أيمن، فقال: يغرون الناس فيقولون: شفاعة محمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله قال: فغضب أبو جعفر عليه السلام حتى تربد وجهه ثم قال: ويحك (أو ويلك) يا أبا أيمن، أغرك أن عف بطنك وفرجك؟ أما وﷲ ان لو قد رأيت أفزاع يوم القيامة لقد احتجت إلى شفاعة محمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله، ويلك وهل يشفع إلا لمن قد وجبت له النار؟

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umayr, from Muawiya Ibn ‘Ammar, from Abu Al-Abbas Al-Makky who said,

‘A slave of a wife of Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (‘a) called Ayman came up to Abu Ja’far (‘a), so he said, ‘The people are deceiving and they are saying, ‘Intercession is for (the sins of) Muhammad (S)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Ja’far (‘a) got angered to the extent that his (‘a) face clouded, then he (‘a) said: ‘Woe be unto you, O Abu Ayman! Have you been drowned due to your stomach and your private parts? But, by Allah (azwj)! If only you could see the panic of the Day of Judgement, you would be needy of the intercession of Muhammad (S). Woe be unto you! And is intercession except for the one on whom the Fire has been Obligated?’185

عنه، عن أبيه، عن القاسم بن محمد، عن علي بن أبي حمزة، قال: قال رجل لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: إن لنا جارا من الخوارج يقول: إن محمدا صلى ﷲ عليه وآله يوم القيامة همه نفسه فكيف يشفع؟ - فقال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام :ما أحد من الاولين واآلخرين إلا وهو يحتاج إلى شفاعة محمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله يوم القيامة.

From him, from his father, from Al-Qasim Ibn Muhammad, from Ali Ibn Abu Hamza who said,

‘A man said to Abu Abd Allah (‘a), ‘For us there is a neighbour from the Khawarijites who are saying, ‘Muhammad (S) himself (S) would be worried on the Day of Judgment, so how would he (S) intercede (for others)?’ Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘There would be no one from the former ones or the later ones who would not be needy of the intercession of Muhammad (S) on the Day of Judgement’186.

Chapter 45: The Intercession

- 45 باب الشفاعة

عنه، عن عمر بن عبد العزيز، عن مفضل أو غيره، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام في قول ﷲ: "فما لنا من شافعين ولا صديق حميم" قال: الشافعون الائمة "والصديق" من المؤمنين

From him, from Umar Ibn Abdul Aziz, from Mufazzal or someone else,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) regarding the Words of Allah (azwj): “So we have none from the intercessors” (26:100); “Nor a true friend” (26:101). He (‘a) said: ‘The interceders are the Imams (‘a), and the friends are from the Believers’.187

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن سيف بن عميرة النخعي، عن أبي - حمزة قال: قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: إن لرسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله شفاعة في أمته

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah, from Sayf Ibn Umayra Al-Nakha’i, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘Abu Ja’far (‘a) said: ‘It is for Rasul Allah (S) to intercede for his (S) community’188.

وروى عن أبيه، عن فضالة، عن حسين بن عثمان، عن أبي حمزة أنه قال: للنبي صلى الله عليه وآله شفاعة في أمته، ولنا شفاعة في شيعتنا، ولشيعتنا شفاعة في أهل بيتهم.

And it has been reported from his father, from Fadhdhala, from Husayn Ibn ‘Utham, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘It is for the Prophet (S) to interceded regarding his (S) community, and for us is intercession regarding our (‘a) Shi’a, and for our (‘a) Shi’a is the intercession regarding their families’189.

عنه، عن أبيه رحمه ﷲ، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن علي الخدمي قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: ان الجار ليشفع لجاره، والحميم لحميمه، ولو أن الملائكة المقربين والانبياء المرسلين شفعوا في ناصب ما شفعوا.

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah, from Is’haq Ibn Aamir, from Ali Al-Khadamy who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘The neighbour would intercede for his neighbour, and the friend for his friend, and the Angels of Proximity and the Prophets (‘a) and the Mursil Prophets (‘a), if the Nasibi is interceded for, they would not accept the intercession’190.

Chapter 46: Intercession Of The Believer

- 46 باب شفاعة المؤمن ين

عنه، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن سماعة، قال: سئل أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام عن المؤمن هل يشفع في أهله؟ - قال: نعم، المؤمن يشفع فيشفع

From him, from ‘Utham Ibn ‘Isa, from Sama’at who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) was asked about the Believer – would he be interceding regarding his family?’ He (‘a) said: ‘Yes, the Believer would intercede, so his intercession would be Accepted’191.

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن أبي والد الحناط، عن ميسر بن عبد العزيز، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام، قال: إن المؤمن منكم يوم القيامة ليمر عليه بالرجل وقد أمر به إلى النار فيقول له: يا فلان أغثنى فقد كنت أصنع اليك المعروف في الدنيا، فيقول المؤمن للملك: "خل سبيله" فيأمر ﷲ الملك أن أجز قول المؤمن فيخلى الملك سبيله

From him, from Al-Hasan Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Walaad Al-Hanaat, from Maysar Ibn Abdul Aziz,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abd Allah (‘a) having said: ‘The Believer from among you would pass by the man who had been Commanded to the Fire, so he would be saying to him, ‘O so and so! Help me, for I had done a good thing for you in the world’. So he would be saying to the Angel, ‘Leave his way’. So Allah (azwj) would Command the Angel to honour the words of the Believer. So he the Angel would leave his way’192.

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن أبان، عن أسد بن اسمعيل، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، قال: قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: يا جابر لا تستعن بعدونا في حاجة ولا تستطعمه وال تسأله شربة ماء، إنه ليمر به المؤمن في النار فيقول: يا مؤمن ألست فعلت بك كذا وكذا؟ - فيستحيي منه فيستنقذه من النار، وانما سمى المؤمن مؤمنا لانه يؤمن على ﷲ فيؤمن أمانه.

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Aban, from Asad Ibn Isma’il, from Jabir Ibn Yazid Al-Ju’fy who said,

‘Abu Ja’far (‘a) said: ‘O Jabir! Do not seek assistance from our (‘a) enemies with regards to a need, neither for his food nor of drinking the water. He would be passed by the Believer, and he would be in the Fire, so he would be saying, ‘O Believer! Did I not deal with you such and such (a favour)?’ So he would be embarrassed by it, so he would be retrieved from the Fire. But rather, the Believer has been named as ‘Believer’ because he believes in Allah (azwj), thus believing in His (azwj) security’193.

Chapter 47: The Referring Of The Ahadith To The Progeny Of Muhammad

- 47باب الراد لحديث آل محمد صلى ﷲ عليه وآله

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى بن عمران الحلبي، عن عبد ﷲ بن مسكان، عن أبي بصير، قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: أرأيت الراد على هذا الامر كالراد عليكم؟ - فقال: يا أبا محمد من رد عليك هذا الامر فهو كالراد على رسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله.

From him, from his father, from Al-Nazar Ibn Suweyd, from Yahya Ibn Imran Al-Halby, from Abd Allah Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer who said,

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن أبي المغرا، عن أبي بصير، قال: قلت لابي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: من نصب لعلي حربا كمن نصب لرسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله؟ - فقال: إى وﷲ، ومن نصب لك أنت لا ينصب لك إلا على هذا الدين كما كان نصب لرسول ﷲ صلى ﷲ عليه وآله.

From him, from his father, from Al-Nazar, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Abu Al-Magra, from Abu Baseer who said,

And the one who is hostile to you, he is not hostile to you except upon this Religion, is like the one who is hostile to Rasul Allah (S)’195.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد ﷲ، عن هاشم بن أبي سعيد الانصاري، عن أبي - بصير ليث المرادى، عن أبي عبد ﷲ عليه السلام قال: إن نوحا حمل في السفينة الكلب والخنزير، ولم يحمل فيها ولد الزنا، وإن الناصب شر من ولد الزنا.

From him, from his father, from Hamza Ibn Abd Allah, from Hashim Ibn Abu Saeed Al-Ansary, from Abu Baseer Lays Al-Murady,

From him, from Ibn Fadhdhal, from Ali Ibn Uqba, from Umar Ibn Aban, from Abdul Hameed Al-Wasity who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far (‘a), ‘For us there is a neighbour who violates all Prohibitions to the extent that he neglects the Prayer as well’. So he (‘a) said: ‘Glory be to Allah (azwj)! And that is most grievous’. Then he (‘a) said: ‘Shall I inform you of the one who is more evil than him?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He (‘a) said: ‘The Nasibi (Hostile one) to us is more evil than him’197.

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن أبي المغرا، عن أبي – بصير، عن علي الصائغ، قال: قال أبو عبد ﷲ عليه السلام: ان المؤمن ليشفع لحميمه إلا أن يكون ناصبا ولو أن ناصبا شفع له كل نبي مرسل وملك مقرب ما شفعوا.

From him, from his father, from Al-Nazar Ibn Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Abu Al-Magra, from Abu Baseer, from Ali Al-Sa’aig who said,

‘Abu Abd Allah (‘a) said: ‘The Believer would intercede for his friend, except if he is a Nasibi (Hostile one). And if there were to be intercession for a Nasibi, all the Mursil Prophets (‘a), and the Angels of Proximity, (Allah (azwj)) would not Accept his intercession’198.

عنه، عن بعض، أصحابه، رفعه في قول ﷲ عزوجل: "يريد ﷲ بكم اليسر ولا يريد بكم العسر" اليسر الولاية، والعسر الخلاف وموالاة أعداء ﷲ .

From him, from one of his companions, raising it,

(It has been narrated) regarding the Words of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic (2:185) Allah Desires ease for you, and He does not Desire for you the difficulty. He (‘a) said: ‘The ease is the Wilayah, and the difficulty – the opposition and the friends of the enemies of Allah (azwj)’199.

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن علي بن النعمان، عن عبد ﷲ بن مسكان، عن أبي عاصم السجستاني قال: سمعت مولى لبني أمية يحدث قال: سمعت أبا جعفر عليه السلام يقول: من أبغض عليا دخل النار، ثم جعل ﷲ في عنقه إثنى عشر ألف شعبة، على كل شعبة منها شيطان يبزق في وجهه ويكلح.
