IN THE NAME OF ALLAH-azwj THE BENEFICENT THE MERCIFUL

كتاب القرائن وفيه من الابواب أحد عشر بابا

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

1 – باب الثلاثة

Chapter 1 – The (group of) threes

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

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

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

From him, raising it to

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

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

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

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from sakuny,

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

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

From him, raising it, said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From him, raising it, said,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, raising it to

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

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

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

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

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

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

11 – وصايا أهل بيته (ع)

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And it has been reported

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

O you woman! The first one to do this were the people of Lut-as. So the men satisfied themselves with the men, and there remained the women without the men, so they (also) did as what their men had done’.[315]

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 Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from his father, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Ja’fary,

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-asws 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’.[347]

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 his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws 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-la’.[349]

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 و بين المؤمن خضعت للمؤمن رقابهم، وتسهلت له أمورهم، ولانت طاعتهم، ولو نظروا إلى مردود الاعمال من السماء لقالوا: ما يقبل الله من أحد عملا.

‘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.

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and High Created us-asws from the High Illiyeen, and Created the hearts of our-asws Shiah from what He-azwj Created us-asws from, and Created their bodies from besides that. Their hearts incline towards us-asws, because these have been Created from what we-asws have been Created from’. Then he-asws recited these Verses [83:18] But! Most surely the record of the righteous shall be in the Iliyeen [83:19] And what will make you know what the highest Iliyeen is? [83:20] It is a written book, [83:21] Those of Proximity witness it’.[351]

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-asws said: ‘Yes, O Jabir’. I said, ‘And why is that, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww?’ He-asws said: ‘And what would you do with (knowing) that?’ I said, ‘I would like to know it’.

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.

Then he-asws recited [48:29] compassionate among themselves. He-asws said: ‘So can there be compassion except by righteousness, good relationships?’

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

(And in another Hadeeth) – ‘And Made to flow within both of them a Spirit of His-azwj Mercy’.[357]

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 وامه، وذلك ان الله تبارك وتعالى خلق المؤمن من طينة جنان السموات وأجرى فيهم من روح رحمته فلذلك هو أخوه لابيه وأمه.

And Created them from the clay from which Allah-azwj Created Adam-as, and Created the spirits of our-asws Shiah two thousand years before their bodies, and Presented to them and Introduced them to Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws.

What is the news of the people?’ So I said, ‘I left Al-Hajaaj insulting your-asws forefather-asws upon the Pulpit (meaning Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws). So he-asws said: ‘The enemies of Allah-azwj instinctively insult us-asws. But, had they had been able to become from our-asws Shiah, they would have been so, but they are not able to. Allah-azwj Took our-asws Covenant and the Covenant of our-asws Shiah, and us-asws 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’.[363]

The humblest one for Me-azwj is a Guardian-asws, Allocated to Me-azwj for the wars, and the one who battles against Me-azwj, he-asws (My Hujjat-asws) would battle against him’.

So I-saww said: ‘O Lord-azwj! And who this Guardian-asws of Yours-azwj? So that I-saww know that he-asws is the one who is fighting Your-azwj battles’.

7 – باب اختلاط الطينتين

Chapter 7 – Mixture of the two clays

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 مولاك 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 Bin Ali, from Ismail Bin Yasaar, from Usmaan Bin Yusuf, from Adullah Bin Kaysan who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I am your-asws slave Abdullah Bin Kaysan’. So he-asws said: ‘As for the lineage, so I-asws recognise it, and as for you, so I-asws do not recognise you’. So I said to him-asws, ‘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-asws enemies.

وأخالط الرجل فأرى فيه سوء الخلق وقلة أمانة و زعارة، ثم أفتشه فأفتشه عن ولايتكم فكيف يكون ذلك؟ – قال: فقال لي: أما علمت يابن كيسان، 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 و حسن 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-asws Wilayah. So how can that be?’

The Imam-asws 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’.[366]

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 من المخالفين علينا حسن السمت، حسن الهدى، وفيا بالميعاد، فأغتم لذلك غما شديدأ،

And from him, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al Qasim l Hazramy, from the one who narrated it, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘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 تدرى 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-asws said: ‘Do you know why that is so?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws 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-asws have relieved me, may Allah-azwj Relieve you-asws’.[367]

8 – باب خلق المؤمن

Chapter 8 – Creation of the Believer

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 Bin Hadeed, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws 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’.[368]

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 Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, from Ali Bin Maysar, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws 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’.[369]

Chapter 9 – The good of birth

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 الولادة، ولا يحبنا الا من طابت ولادته.

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed and Abdul Rahman Bin Hamaad Al Kufy, from Abu Muhammad Abdullah Bin Ibrahim Al Ghafary, from Al Husayn Bin Zayd,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who loves us-asws, the People-asws of the Household, so he should Praise Allah-azwj for the first Bounty’. I said, ‘And what is the first Bounty?’ He-asws said: ‘The ‘طيب’ purified birth. And he does not love us-asws, except if he is of ‘طيب’ birth’.[370]

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 Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Hajaal, from Abu Abdullah Al Mada’iny who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When one of you feels the coolness of our-asws love upon his heart, so he should Praise Allah-azwj for the first Bounty’. I said, ‘For the nature of Al-Islam?’ He-asws said: ‘No, but, for the ‘طيب’ of the birth. He will not love us-asws except the one whose birth is ‘طيب’, nor will he hate us-asws 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-asws, ever, nor will anyone love us-asws except the one who was the elite of his generation’.[371]

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 الولادة.

From him, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Hajaal, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Moamar Bin Yahya, from Abu Khalid Al Kabily,

who heard Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws saying: ‘None shall enter the Paradise except the one who is purely from Adam-as’ (without any share from Iblees-la – illegitimate).[373]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Created the Paradise as pure, Purified. None shall enter it except the one of purified birth’.[375]

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 ولا عجميين أنصب منهما، فقال: ان هذين صحيح نسبهما ومن صح نسبه لم يدع على مثلى ما يريد عيبه،

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Al Qasim Usman Bin Abdullah, a slave the judge of Al Kindy, who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and in his-asws presence were Nasar the judge, and men from the Clan of Ka’ab, and they were discussing Ahadeeth. So when they left, I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I have not left behind in Al-Kufa, whether it be Arabs or non-Arabs who are more hostile (to you-asws) than these two’. So he-asws 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-asws. What makes you want to fault him?’

قال: فخرجت إلى الكوفة فلقيتهما فقلت للنصرأولا: 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 Ahadeeth with Abu Ja’far-asws?’ 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 و لا 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-asws’. So I mentioned a Hadeeth from the Ahadeeth (he had discussed). He said to me, ‘Woe be unto you! You have heard this from Abu Ja’far-asws? 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’.[376]

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 Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Al Qasim Usman Bin Abdullah who said,

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

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-asws has ordered me that I should seek assistance from you’. They said to me, ‘By Allah-azwj! If we were not with Wilayah of Ja’far-asws, it was an Obligation upon us regarding the correctness of his-asws lineage, that we should stand with regards to his-asws Message’. So they stood with me until we went outside the house. So they sold it to me, and gave me the worth’.[377]

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

And it has been narrated to me from one of his companions, from Abdullah Bin Awn Al Shaybani, from a man from our companions who said,

‘I hired half a camel loader and he (the owner) said to me, ‘Do not worry about the one who will be sharing the ride with you. 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 لا 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-asws ’. I was shocked to hear his words and I did not know what to answer him, instead I kept on looking at his face. So I came up to Abu Abdullah-asws, I informed him-asws about that man, and of his neighbourhood from me and that he is one of opponents.  I narrated the story to him-asws until he-asws asked me to seek permission for him to see you-asws but I did not give any answer to him. He-asws said: ‘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.s.) 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 Abdullah-asws faced towards him with the respect. Then he-asws called for the meal for him, and would not leave  him to eat except from what he-asws ate himself-asws, and he-asws was saying: ‘Eat more, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon you’, until when the meal was raised, Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said (such and such). So he went on to hear such Ahadeeth from him-asws which I had never hear being reported from anyone from Abu Abdullah-asws’.

ثم قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام في آخر كلامه: ” ولقد أرسلنا رسلا 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 و ذريته، أجرى الله لآخرنا مثل ما أجرى لاولنا،

Then Abu Abdullah-asws said towards the end of his-asws speech: ‘[13:38] And We had Sent Rasools before you and Gave them wives and offspring’.  Thus, Allah-azwj, Gave children and wives to Rasool Allah-saww as they were given to the Rasools-as before him-saww.  So, we-asws are the children and Progeny-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww.  Allah-azwj has Made to flow for the last one of us-asws as Allah-azwj has Made it to flow for the first one of us-asws.

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 Abdullah-asws, so I said to him-asws, ‘Did I not inform you with the news of the man?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, but the man, 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-asws have mentioned from it, from the amount of Ahadeeth, 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’. [378]

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

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub Al Bajaly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, a people would be called by the names of their mothers, except for us-asws and our-asws Shiah, for they would be called with the names of their fathers’.[379]

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 Bin Yahya, from Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Al Husayn Bin Alwan, from Ahmad Bin Ubeyd, from Al Husayn Bin Alwan, from the one whom mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws 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 Shiah of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. So they would be called by their names and the names of their fathers, and that is because there is no adulterer among them’.[380]

From him, from Hamaa Bin Isa, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [20:82] to him who repents and believes and does righteous deeds, then follows the right Guidance. He-asws said: ‘To our-asws Wilayah, by Allah-azwj! Have you not seen how Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Kept it (our-asws Wilayah) as a condition!’[381]

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

Regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [2:185] exclaim the Greatness of Allah for His having Guided you. He-asws said: ‘The exclamation of Greatness and the reverence is for Allah-azwj, and the Guidance is the Wilayah’.[382]

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 Bin Yazeed, from Abdul Rahman Al Haza’a, from Abu Kalda,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww 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 Rasool-saww for the one who is in the Wilayah of Ali-asws, and aspires for it’.[383]

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 Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan Bin Rashid, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘How distant the others are from us-asws, and you all (Shiah) are with us-asws in the highest peak, therefore compete (among yourselves) with regard to the Levels (in the Paradise)’.[384]

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 Bin Muslim, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘For everything is an ‘جوهرا’ excellence, and the ‘جوهر’ of the children of Adam-as are Muhammad-saww, and us-asws and our-asws Shiah’.[385]

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 Bin Muslim, from Sudeyr who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘You all (Shiah) are (to be included) in the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww! You all (Shiah) are (to be included) in the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’[386]

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 و عظمته فكما لا يقدر أحد على كنه صفة الله وكنه قدرته وعظمته ” ولله المثل الاعلى ”

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Amro Bin Abu Al Maqdam, from Maalik Bin Ayn Al Jahny who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws faced towards me and said, ‘O Maalik! You all are our-asws true Shiah! O Maalik! Do you think that you have been excessive in speaking of our-asws 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 [16:60] and Allah’s is the Exalted Example’.

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 Rasool-Allah-saww, and our-asws merits, and what Allah-azwj has Given us-asws, and what He-azwj has Obligated from our-asws rights. Just as no one has the ability to have the attributes of our-asws merits, and what Allah-azwj has Given us-asws, and what He-azwj has Obligated from our-asws 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?’[387]

And they are obedient to me-saww, and the one who is obedient to me-saww, so he is from me-saww.

جرى في مثل ابراهيم عليه السلام وفي الاوصياء من بعدى، لاني من ابراهيم وابراهيم منى، دينه ديني وسنته سنتى وأنا أفضل منه، وفضلي من فضله وفضله من فضلى، وتصديق قولى قول ربي ” ذرية بعضها من بعض والله سميع عليم “.

It flows regarding the example of Ibrahim-as and in the successors-asws from after me-saww, because I-saww am from Ibrahim-saww, and Ibrahim-as is from me-saww. His-as Religion is my-saww Religion, and his-as Sunnah is my-saww Sunnah. And I-saww am higher than him-as, and my merit is from his-as merit, and his-as merit is my-as merit. And the ratification of my-saww speech are the Words of my-saww Lord-azwj [3:34] Offspring one from the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing’.[420]

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali and someone else, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Al Fazal Al Hashimy, form his father who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘The love for us-asws, the People-asws of the Household, will benefit you in seven places – (1) in the Presence of Allah-azwj, (2) and during the death, (3) and in the grave, (4) and on the Day of Judgement, (5) and at the Fountain, (6) and at the Scale, (7) and at the Bridge’.[421]

From him, from his father, from Hamza Bin Abdullah Al Ja’fary, from Jameel Bin Daraaj, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘In the Paradise there are three (ascending) Levels, and in the Fire there are three Abysses. So the highest Level of the Paradise is for the one who loves us-asws by his heart, and helps us-asws, by his tongue, and his hands (resources). And in the second Level would be one who loves us-asws by his heart and helps us-asws by his tongue. And in the third Level would be the one loves us-asws by his heart.

وفي أسفل درك من النار من أبغضنا بقلبه وأعان علينا بلسانه و يده، وفي الدرك الثانية من النار من أبغضنا بقلبه وأعان علينا بلسانه، وفي الدرك الثالثة من النار من أبغضنا بقلبه.

And in the lowest Abyss of the Fire would be the one who hated us-asws by his heart, and supported against us-asws by his tongue and his hands. And in the second lowest Abyss of the Fire would be the one who hated us-asws by his heart, and supported against us-asws by his tongue. And in the third lowest Abyss of the Fire would be the one who hated us-asws by his heart’.[422]

So the one who recites it once, it is as if he has recited a third of the Quran, and the one who recites it twice, it is as if he has recited two thirds of the Quran, and the one who recites it three times, it is as if he has recited the (whole) of the Quran.

وكذلك من أحبك بقلبه كان له مثل ثلث ثواب أعمال العباد، و من أحبك بقلبه ونصرك بلسانه كان له مثل ثلثى أعمال العباد، ومن أحبك بقلبه ونصرك بلسانه ويده كان له مثل ثواب أعمال العباد.

And similar to that is the one who loves you-asws by his heart, there would be for him (a Recompense) similar to a third of the deeds of (all) the servants. And the one who loves you-asws by his heart, and helps you-asws by his tongue, there would be for him similar to the deeds of two thirds of (all) the servants. And the one who loves you-asws by his heart, and helps you-asws by his tongue and his hands (resources/efforts), there would be for him (a Recompense) similar to the Rewards of the deeds of (all the) servants’.[423]

فعليكم بالطاعة، قدر أتيم أصحاب علي وأنتم تأتمون بمن لا يعذر الناس بجهالته، لنا كرائم القرآن ونحن أقوام افترض الله طاعتنا، ولنا الانفال ولنا صفو المال.

So it is on you to be obedient, to the extent of the companions of Ali-asws follow, and you would be dying with something which the people have no excuse due to their ignorance. For us-asws are the Honours of the Quran, and we-asws are the people to whom Allah-azwj has Obligated the obedience to, and for us-asws are the spoils of war, and for us is the clean wealth’.[424]

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.

So he-asws said: ‘If only the people were to follow Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and neglect Abdul Malik Bin Marwan, they would be Guided. So we said, ‘So the one who died not having recognised his Imam-asws, died the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period), died as an Infidel?’ So he-asws said: ‘Indeed!

Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira (the narrator) said, ‘So I met up with Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Yes’. So we said, ‘So he died the death of an ignorant (Pre-Islamic period)?’ He-asws said: ‘Death of an Infidel, and a straying one, and hypocrisy’.[428]

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from Basheer Al Ataar who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘[17:71] The Day when We will Call every human being with their Imam.

We-asws are the descendants of Muhammad-saww, and our-asws mother-asws is Syeda Fatima-asws. And Allah-azwj has not Given anything to the Mursil Prophets-as except that He-azwj Gave it to Muhammad-saww similar to what was Given to the Mursil Prophets-as before him-saww’. Then he-asws recited [13:38] And We had Sent Rasools before you and Gave them wives and children’.[429]

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from Jabir Bin Yazeed Al Ju’fy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When it was Revealed [17:71] The Day when We will Call every human being with their Imam, the Muslims said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Are you-saww not the Imam-asws of all the people together?’ So Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww am Rasool-Allah-saww to the people altogether, but there would be coming after me-saww, Imams-asws upon the people, from the People-asws of my-saww Household, from Allah-azwj. They-asws would be standing among the people, but they-asws 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-asws Wilayah, and follows them-asws, and ratifies them-asws, so he is from me-saww and with me-saww, and would be meeting me-saww. Indeed! And the one who oppresses them-asws, and gives support to the one who oppresses them-asws, and belies them-asws, so he is not from me-saww, and not with me-saww, and I-saww am away from him’.[430]

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.

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘The one who died and there is no Imam-asws 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-asws. And the one who dies and he recognised his Imam-asws, this matter (death) would not harm him whether it is brought forward or delayed.

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 Hadeeth of Habeeb,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws 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.

ثم تلا ” 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-asws recited [4:59] O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Rasool and those in authority from among you; [59:7] and whatever the Rasool gives you, accept it, and from whatever he forbids you, keep back; [4:80] Whoever obeys the Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah; [3:31] Say: If you love Allah, then follow me, Allah will Love you and Forgive you your sins.

By Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj had Lineage Isa-as Bin Maryam-as in the Quran, to Ibrahim-as from before (the Revelation of Chapter 4 ) – Al-Nisaa’.

Allah-azwj will not Accept, but from you (Shiah), nor Forgive any except for you’.[474]

محمد بن علي، عن عبيس بن هشام، عن عبد الكريم وهو كرام بن عمرو الخثعمي، عن عمر بن حنظلة، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: ان آية في القرآن تشككني، قال: وما هي؟ – قلت: قول الله ” انما يتقبل الله من المتقين ” قال: وأي شئ شككت فيها؟ – قلت: من صلى وصام وعبد الله قبل منه؟ – قال: انما يتقبل الله من المتقين العارفين،

Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Abdul Kareem, and he was Kraam Bin Amro Al Khash’amy, from Umar Bin Hanzala who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘There is a Verse in the Quran which has place me in doubt’. He-asws said: ‘And which one is it?’ I said, ‘The Words of Allah-azwj [5:27] But rather, Allah only Accepts from those who are pious’. He-asws said: ‘And which thing places you in doubt?’ I said, ‘The one who Prays, and Fasts, and worships Allah-azwj, it would be Accepted from him?’ He-asws said: ‘But rather, Allah-azwj will Accept from ‘المتقين’ the pious, ‘العارفين’ the recognisers’.

ثم قال: أنت أزهد في الدنيا أم الضحاك بن قيس؟ – قلت: لا بل الضحاك بن قيس، قال: فان ذلك لا يتقبل منه شئ مما ذكرت

Then he-asws said: ‘Are you more ascetic in the world or Al-Zahaak Bin Qays?’ I said, ‘But, it is Al-Zahaak Bin Qays’. He-asws said: ‘So if that is so, Allah-azwj will not Accept anything from him, from what you have mentioned’.[475]

35 – باب [ كذا فيما عندي من نسخ المحاسن ]

Chapter 35 – (Such – regarding what is in my possession from a copy of Al-Mahasin)

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد الله، عن جميل بن دراج، عن عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لو أن عبدا عبد الله ألف عام ثم ذبح كما يذبح الكبش ثم أتى الله ببغضنا أهل البيت لرد الله عليه عمله.

From him, from his father, from Hamza Bin Abdullah, from Jameel Bin Daraaj, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Even if a worshipper were to worship for a thousand years, then be slaughtered just as the ram is slaughtered, then comes to Allah-azwj with hatred for us-asws, the People-asws of the Household, Allah-azwj would Repulse his deeds back to him’.[476]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حمزة بن عبد الله، عن جميل بن ميسر، عن أبيه النخعي قال: قال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: يا ميسر أي البلدان أعظم حرمة؟ – قال: فما كان منا أحد يجيبه حتى كان الراد على نفسه فقال: مكة، فقال: أي بقاعها أعظم حرمة؟ – قال: فما كان منا أحد يجيبه حتى كان الراد على نفسه فقال: ما بين الركن إلى الحجر،

From him, from his father, from Hamza Bin Abdullah, from Jameel Bin Maysar, from his father Al Nakhai’e who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘O Maysar! Which of the cities is the greatest is sanctity?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘Not a single one of us answered him-asws, until he-asws responded to himself-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Makkah’. So he-asws said: ‘Which of the remaining (things) is greater in sanctity?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘Not a single one of us answered him-asws, until he-asws responded to himself-asws, so he-asws said: ‘What is in between Al-Rukn and Al-Hajar (The Black Stone).

والله لو أن عبدا عبد الله ألف عام حتى ينقطع علباؤه هرما ثم أتى الله ببغضنا أهل البيت لرد الله عليه عمله.

By Allah-azwj! Even if a worshipper were to worship Allah-azwj for a thousand years until he dies at a very old age, then comes to Allah-azwj with hatred for us-asws, the People-asws of the Household, Allah-azwj would Repulse back his deeds’.[477]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابه، محمد بن علي أو غيره، رفعه قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: أكان حذيفة بن اليماني يعرف المنافعين؟ – فقال: أجل كان يعرف إثنى عشر رجلا وأنت تعرف إثنى عشر ألف رجل، إن الله تبارك وتعالى يقول: ” ولتعرفنهم بسيماهم، ولتعرفنهم في لحن القول ” فهل تدرى ما لحن القول؟ – قلت: لا والله، قال: بغض علي بن ابي طالب (عليه السلام) ورب الكعبة.

From him, from one of his companions, Muhammad Bin Ali or someone else, raising it, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Huzeyfa Bin Al-Yamani used to recognise the hypocrites?’ So he-asws said: ‘Certainly! He recognised twelve men, and you recognise twelve thousand men. Allah-azwj Blessed and High is Saying [47:30] so that you would certainly have recognized them by their marks and most certainly you can recognize them by the tone of speech. So, do you know what is the tone of the speech?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj!’ He-asws said: ‘Hatred for Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, by the Lord-azwj of the Kaabah’.[478]

عنه، عن ابيه، عمن ذكره، عن حنان بن ابي علي، عن ضريس الكناسى قال: سألت ابا عبد الله عليه السلام عن قول الله ” وهدوا إلى الطيب من القول، وهدوا إلى صراط الحميد ” فقال: هو والله هذا الامر الذي أنتم عليه.

From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned it, from Hanaan Bin Abu Ali, from Zareys Al Kanasy who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj [22:24] And they are Guided to goodly words and they are Guided to the Path of the Praised One. So he-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! It is this matter (Al-Wilayah) which you all are upon’.[479]

36 باب ما نزل في الشيعة من القرآن

Chapter 36 – What was Revealed regarding the Shiah, from the Quran

عنه، عن ابيه، عمن ذكره، عن ابي علي حسان العجلى قال: سال رجل أبا عبد الله عليه السلام وأنا جالس عن قول الله عزوجل: ” لا يستوى الذين يعلمون والذين لا يعلمون، انما يتذكر اولوا الالباب ” قال: نحن ” الذين يعلمون ” وعدونا ” الذين لا يعلمون ” وشيعتنا ” اولوا الالباب “.

From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned it, from Abu Ali Hasaan Al Ajaly who said,

‘A man asked Abu Abdullah-asws and I was seated, about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [39:9] Are those who know and those who do not know alike? But rather, it is the ones of understanding who are mindful. He-asws said: ‘We-asws are those who know, and our enemies are those who do not know and our-asws Shiah are the ones of understanding’.[480]

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 Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba Bin Khalid who said,

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

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 [9:14] and Heal the chests of a believing people [9:15] And Remove the rage of their hearts. 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-saww, and Sent it to him-saww’.[481]

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 Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from his father, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said, ‘I was in a (camel) loader reading (the Quran),

When Abu Abdullah-asws called out to me: ‘Read, O Suleyman! And I-asws am in these Verse in which is as the end ‘Blessed’[25:68] 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 [25:69] The Punishment shall be doubled to him. So he-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! These are regarding us-asws. But, by Allah-azwj! He-azwj has Advised us-asws and He-azwj Knows that we-asws do not commit adultery. Read, O Suleyman!’. So I recited until I ended up to His-azwj Words [25:70] 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’.

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-asws said: ‘Pause! This is regarding you all (Shiah). 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-asws 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-asws 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 [25:70] so these are they for whom Allah would Exchange their evil deeds to good ones’.

قال: ثم قرأت حتى انتهيت إلى قوله ” والذين لا يشهدون الزور، وإذا مروا باللغو مرو اكراما ” فقال، هذه فينا،

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then I recited until I ended up to His-azwj Words [25:72] And they who do not bear witness to what is false, and when they pass by what is vain, they pass by nobly. So he-asws said: ‘This is regarding us-asws’.

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

Then I recited [25:73] And they who, when the Signs of their Lord are mentioned, do not fall thereat deaf and blind. So he-asws said: ‘This is regarding you all (Shiah). When our-asws 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 [25:74] 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) – up to the end of the Chapter. So he-asws said: ‘This is regarding us-asws’.[482]

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 Bin Al No’man, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj [15:42] Surely, with regards to My servants, you (Satan) have no authority over them. So he-asws said: ‘There is not upon this group especially (Shiah), an authority’. I said, ‘And how, regarding them is what is regarding them?’ So he-asws said: ‘It is not where you are going with it (understanding it). But rather, he (Satan-la) has no authority over them that he-la should make them love ‘الكفر’ the disbelief, and make them hate the Iman (belief)’.[483]  

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 ولاصحابك فأما الآخرين فقد فرغ منهم.

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

‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘His-azwj Words [7:16] I will sit in wait for them in Your Straight Path [7:17] 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. So Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘O Zarara! But rather, he (Satan-la) is lying in wait for you (Shiah) and for your companions. So as for the other ones, he has finished (free) from them’.[484]

عنه، عن ابي يوسف يعقوب بن يزيد، عن نوح المضروب، عن ابي شيبة، عن عنبسة العابد، عن ابي جعفر عليه السلام في قول الله عزوجل ” كل نفس بما كسبت رهينة إلا اصحاب اليمين ” قال: هم شيعتنا أهل البيت.

From him, from Abu Yusuf Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Nuh Al Mazroub, from Abu Shayba, from Anbasat Al Aabid,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [74:38] Every soul is held in pledge for what it earns, [74:39] Except the people of the right hand. He-asws said: ‘They are our-asws Shiah, of the People-asws of the Household’.[485]

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.

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from one of the Kufians, from Anbasat, from Jabir,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj [98:7] (As for) those who believe and do good, surely they are the best of the created beings. He-asws said: ‘They are our-asws Shiah of the People-asws of the Household’.[486]

37 – باب تطهير المؤمن

Chapter 37 – Purification of the Believer

عنه، عن ابيه، عمن حدثه، عن ابي سلام 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 Bin Muslim who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws 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-asws 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’.[487]

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 Bin Al Qasim, from Dawood, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘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-asws 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’.[488]

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 Hamaad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar, from Abu Al Sabah Al Kanany who said,

‘I and Zarara were in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws 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-asws said: ‘Do you not know what my-asws father-asws has said about this?’ He-asws 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’.[489]

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Umar Bin Abaan Al Kalby, from Abdul Hameed Al Wasity who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Keep you-asws well! We have neglected our markets (businesses) awaiting for this matter (Al-Qaim-asws) to the extent that the man from us asks for what is in his hands (poor)’. So he-asws 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-asws! May Allah-azwj have Mercy upon the one who revived our-asws matter’. I said, ‘So if he were to die before he sees Al-Qaim-asws?’ So he-asws said: ‘The speaker among you who says, ‘If I were to see Al-Qaim-asws of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, I will help him-asws’, is like the one who joined up with him-asws with his sword. And is martyred with him-asws, for him are (the Rewards of) two martyrdoms’.[494]

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-asws. Proceed towards Rasool-Allah-asws, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws’.[498]

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).

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Abdullah Bin Al Waleed Al Nakhai’e who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘I-asws hereby testify to my-asws father-asws that he-asws was saying: ‘There is nothing in between one of you and him being joyful at what he sees which would delight his eyes except the reaching of his soul to here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws own throat – ‘And Allah-azwj Blessed and High Said [13:38] And We had Sent Rasools before you and Gave them wives and children. So we-asws, by Allah-azwj, are the children of Rasool-Allah-saww’.[499]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن شجرة أخى بشير النبال قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ما بين أحدكم وبين أن يعاين ما تقر به عينه إلا أن تبلغ نفسه هذه وأومى بيده إلى حلقه.

From him, from his father, from Al Nazar, from Yahya Al Halby, from Shajara, brother of Bashir Al Nabaal who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘There is nothing in between one of you (Shiah) and seeing what would delight his eyes except the reaching of his soul here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws own throat’.[500]

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 Fazaal, from Hamaad Bin Usmaan, from Abdul Hameed Bin Awaaz who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws 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 Rasool-Allah-saww, and Ali-asws, and Syeda Fatima-asws’.

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 Fazaal, from Abu Jameela, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, and in it is more: ‘Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws’.[501]

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 Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al Halby, from Abdul Hameed Al Ta’aie who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The most intense of what your enemy would become hateful to this matter is when his soul reaches this’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws 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-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws 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 Rasool-Allah-saww, and Ali-asws, and Syeda Fatima-asws’. Then he-asws said: ‘As for Syeda Fatima, so do not mention her-asws’ (by her-asws name in public).[502]

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن محمد بن فضيل، عن عبد الله بن أبي يعفور، قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: قد استحييت مما أردد هذا الكلام عليكم، ما بين أحدكم وبين أن يغتبط إلا أن تبلغ نفسه هذه وأهوى بيده إلى حنجرته، يأتيه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وعلي عليه السلام فيقولان له: أما ما كنت تخاف منه فقد أمنك الله منه، وأما ما كنت ترجو فامامك .

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Muhammad Bin Fazeyl, from Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘I-asws 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-asws gestured by his hand to his windpipe. Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws would come to him, so they-asws 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’.[503]

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،

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Uqba Bin Khalid who said,

‘We came up to Abu Abdullah-asws; I and Moala Bin Khunays. So he-asws 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-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws 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-asws reclined and gestured to Al-Moala to question him-asws. So I said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! When his soul reaches to here, which thing would he see?’ So he-asws responded to him with a finger, ten times ‘Which thing would he see?’ So he-asws said during each of it: ‘He sees’ – not increasing to him. Then he-asws became seated at the end of it, so he-asws said: ‘O Uqba! I said, ‘Here I am, at your-asws service!’ So he-asws said, ‘You refuse, except to know?’ So I said, ‘Yes, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! 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-asws, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, every time, and I weep, (of your-asws) 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-asws said: ‘He sees the both of them-asws, by Allah-azwj’. I said, ‘May my father and my mother be sacrificed for you-asws! Who two?’ So he-asws said: ‘That is Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws. O Uqba! Never does a believing soul die, ever, until he sees the two of them-asws’. I said, ‘So when the Believer sees the two of them-asws, does he return to the world?’ He-asws said: ‘But, he dies in front of them-asws’.

فقلت له: يقولان شيئا جعلت فداك؟ – فقال: نعم، يدخلان جميعا على المؤمن فيجلس رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) عند 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 الله أبشر أنا علي بن أبي طالب الذي كنت تحبنى أما لانفعنك

So I said to him-asws, ‘Do the two of them-asws say anything, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’ So he-asws said: ‘Yes. They both-asws come up to the Believer, so Rasool-Allah -saww sits at his head, and Ali-asws at his feet. So Rasool-Allah-saww turns towards him saying: ‘O friend of Allah-azwj! Be joyful. I-saww am Rasool-Allah-saww, and I-saww am better for you than what you have left from the world’. Then Rasool-Allah-saww rises, and Ali-asws comes forward until he-asws turns towards him saying: ‘O friend of Allah-azwj! Be joyful. I-asws am Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, the one-asws whom you used to love. I-asws 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 Abdullah-asws 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-asws?’ He-asws said to me: ‘Surah Yunus (Chapter 10), the Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and High [10:63] Those who had believed and were pious [10:64] 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’.[504]

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 Abdullah-asws having said: ‘But you would become in dire need for our-asws love when the soul of one of you reaches this’ – and he-asws gestured by his hand to his-asws throat. Then he-asws said: ‘No, but to over here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws 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’.[505]

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 Basheer Al Kanasy who said,

‘We came up to Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws said: ‘Narrate to your companions that my-asws father-asws was saying: ‘There is nothing in between one of you and him being joyful except the reaching of his soul to here’ – and he-asws gestured by his-asws hand to his-asws own throat’.[506]

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 Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Al Khataab Al Kufy and Mas’ab Al Kufy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws  having said to Sudeyr: ‘By the One Who-azwj Sent Muhammad-saww with the Prophet-hood and Hastened his-saww 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 [50:17] (When the two receivers receive), seated on the right and on the left.

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 [89:27] O soul that art at rest! [89:28] Return to your Lord, well-pleased (with him), well-pleasing (Him), [89:29] So enter among My servants, [89:30] And enter into My garden’.

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-asws 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 Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir-ul-Momineen-asws, he would be meeting the two of them-asws turning their-asws 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 Abdullah-asws said: ‘So he is that’.[507]

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 Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws 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’.[508]

 40 – باب أرواح المؤمنين

Chapter 40 – Souls of the Believers

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 Bin Abdullah -asws from Jameel Bin Daraaj who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws 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’.[509]

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 Fazaal, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘There was a mention of souls, the souls of the Believers, so he-asws said: ‘They are meeting (each other)’. I said, ‘Meeting?’ So he-asws said: ‘They are asking around, and recognising, to the extent when they see it, say, ‘So and so’.[510]

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 Hassan Bin Mahboob, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Jaazy who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Where are the souls of the Believers?’ So he-asws 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-asws 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’.[511]

41 – باب في البعث

Chapter 41 – Regarding the Resurrection

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 Bin Abdullah Al Ja’fary, from Abu Al Hassan Al Dahny, and from Jameel Bin Daraaj, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj would Resurrect our-asws Shiah 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  [21:101] Surely (as for) those for whom the good has preceded from Us, they shall be remote from it [21:102] They will not hear its (Hell’s) faintest sound, and they shall abiding eternally in that which their souls long for’.[512]

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 Bin Ali, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Asbaat Bin Saalim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Our Shiah 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’.[513]

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 Bin Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Abu Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abdullah Bin Shareek Al Aamiry, from Abu Ja’far -asws having said:

‘Rasool-Allah-saww was explaining matters among a number of his-saww companions, among whom was Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. So he-saww 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-asws said: ‘Who would they be, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’ So he-saww said: ‘They would be your-asws Shiah, and you are their Imam-asws’.[514]

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.

So a Caller would Call out: ‘The best of the fathers is your-saww father-as Ibrahim-as, and the best of the brothers is your-saww brother-asws Ali-asws!’[515]

From Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from AIbn Abu Umeyr, from hamaad Bin Usman and someone else,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [19:85] The Day on which We will Gather the pious to the Beneficent as a (Royal) delegation. They would be Gathered upon carriages’.[516]

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 Bin Muslim, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement, Rasool-Allah-saww would be summoned, and he-saww would be wearing a rosy garment’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! A rosy garment?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes. Have you not heard the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [55:37] So when the sky is split, would become rosy like red hide? Then Ali-asws will be Called. He-asws will stand on the right of Rasool-Allah-saww. Then Allah-azwj will Call whosoever that He-azwj so Desires to. They will all stand on the right of Ali-asws. Then our-asws Shiah will be Called. They will all stand on the right of whosoever that Allah-azwj so Desires.’ Then he-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Where do you see yourself going with us-asws?’ I said, ‘To Paradise.’ He-asws said: ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires.[517]

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 Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal together, from Ali Bin Al No’man, from Al Haris Bin Muhammad Al Ahowl, from the one who narrated it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws, having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘When I-saww was Ascended with, I-saww saw in the Paradise, a River whiter than milk, and sweeter than honey, and straighter than an arrow. In it were pitchers the number of the stars. Upon its banks were domes of red sapphire, and while gems. So Jibraeel-as flapped his-as wings to its side, so it was 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-saww said: ‘By the One is Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad-saww, in the Paradise there are trees which Glorify with the Glorification with a sound which none from the Former ones or the Later ones have heard the like of, bearing fruit like the pomegranate fruits. The fruit it place for the man from seventy curtains, and the Believers would be upon the chairs of ‘نور’ Light, honourable, resplendent faced. You-asws are their Imam-asws on the Day of Judgement. Upon the man would be sandals with straps of light, illuminating their front wherever they may go in the Paradise.

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 [32:17] So no soul knows what is hidden for it of that which will delight the eyes; a Recompense for what they had been doing’.

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’.[518]

For you is the Forgiveness and upon you is the Punishment’.[551]

From him, from Al Sindy Bin Muhammad, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws both having said: ‘When Allah-azwj Created the intellect, Said to it: “Turn Back!” So it turned back. Then Said to it: “Come forward!” So it went (forward). So Allah-azwj Said: ‘By My-azwj Honour and My-azwj Majesty! I-azwj have not Created a creation more beautiful than you. It is to you that I-azwj Command, and to you I-azwj Prohibit, and to you that I-azwj Reward, and to you that I-azwj Punish”.[552]

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن العلاء، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: لما خلق الله العقل استنطقه ثم قال له: ” أقبل ” فأقبل، ثم قال له: ” أدبر ” فأدبر، ثم قال له: ” وعزتي وجلالى ما خلقت خلقا هو أحب إلي منك، ولا أكملك إلا فيمن أحب، أما إني إياك آمر وإياك أنهى، وإياك أعاقب وإياك أثيب “.

It is by you that I-azwj Seize, and by you that I-azwj Give, and to you that I-azwj Reward’.[554]

عنه، عن محمد بن خالد، عن عبد الله بن الفضل النوفلي، عن أبيه، عن أبي – عبد الله عليه السلام، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: خلق الله العقل فقال له: ” أدبر ” فأدبر، ثم قال له: ” أقبل ” فأقبل، ثم قال: ” ما خلقت خلقا أحب إلي منك ”

قال: فأعطى الله محمدا ” (صلى الله عليه وآله) تسعة وتسعين جزءا ثم قسم بين العباد جزءا واحدا.

The Imam-asws said: ‘So Allah-azwj Gave Muhammad-saww ninety nine parts (of the intellect), then divided one part in between the servants’.[555]

محمد بن عيسى اليقطيني، عن عبيدالله بن عبد الله الدهقان، عن درست بن أبي منصور الواسطي، عن إبراهيم بن عبد الحميد، عن أبي الحسن موسى بن جعفر عليهما السلام قال: ما بعث الله نبيا قط إلا عاقلا، وبعض النبيين أرجح من بعض، وما استخلف داود سليمان حتى اختبر عقله، واستخلف داود سليمان وهو ابن ثلاثة عشر سنة، وملك ذو القرنين وهو ابن اثنى عشر سنة، ومكث في ملكه ثلاثين سنة.

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj did not Send a Prophet-as at all except as an intellectual, and some Prophets-as being more preferable than others-as. And Dawood-as did not leave behind Suleyman-as until he-as had tested his-as Intellect. And when Dawood-as left behind Suleyman-as he was a son of thirteen years old. And Zulqarnayn became king when he was a son of twelve years of age, and remained in his kingdom for thirty years’.[556]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن رجل من حمدان من بنى واعظ، عن عبيدالله بن الوليد الوضافي، عي أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: كان يرى موسى بن عمران عليه السلام رجلا من بني اسرائيل يطول سجوده ويطول سكوته فلا يكاد يذهب إلى موضع إلا وهو معه، فبينا هو يوما من الايام في بعض حوائجه إذ مر على أرض معشبة تزهو وتهتز (قال:) فتأوه الرجل فقال له موسى: على ماذا تأوهت؟ – قال: تمنيت أن يكون لربي حمار أرعاه ههنا، قال: فأكب موسى (ع) طويلا ببصره على الارض اغتماما بما سمع منه (قال:) فانحط عليه الوحى، فقال له: ما الذي أكبرت من مقالة عبدي؟ أنا أؤاخذ عبادي على قدر ما أعطيتهم من العقل.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from a man from Hamdan from the Clan of Wa’aiz, from Ubeydullah Bin Al Waleed Al Wazafy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Musa-as saw a man from the Children of Israel performing lengthy Prostrations, and (maintaining) lengthy silence. So he-as went very near to the place and was with him. So he-saww was with him for one day from the days, regarding one of his-as needs, when they passed by a land wich was plush and green. So the man sighed. So Musa-as said to him: ‘And what is that which makes you sigh?’ He said, ‘I wish that there was a donkey from my Lord-azwj, so it would graze over here’. Musa -as looked at the land for a long time, being distressed at what he heard from him. So the Revelation came unto him-as: “What is that which makes you-as to be aggrieved from the speech of My-azwj servant? I-azwj will Seize My-azwj servants in accordance of what I-azwj have Given them of the intellect’.[557]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، رفعه قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ما قسم الله للعباد شيئا أفضل من العقل، فنوم العاقل أفضل من سهر الجاهل، وإفطار العاقل أفضل من صوم الجاهل، وأقامة العاقل أفضل من شخوص الجاهل،

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

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has not Distributed to the servants anything superior to the intellect. So the sleep of an intellectual is more preferable than the wakefulness of the ignorant, and the eating (breaking Fast) of the intellectual is more preferable than the Fasting of the ignorant, and the staying (at home) of the intellectual is more preferable than the going out of the ignorant.

ولا بعث الله رسولا ولا نبيا حتى يستكمل العقل ويكون عقله أفضل من عقول جميع أمته، وما يضمر النبي في نفسه أفضل من إجتهاد جميع المجتهدين،

And Allah-azwj neither Sent a Rasool-as nor a Prophet-as until he-as was of complete intellect, and his-as intellect came to be higher than the intellects of all of his-as community. And what the Prophet-as thinks within himself-as is higher than the Ijtihad of all the Mujtahids (all the efforts of all those who strive hard).

وما أدى العاقل فرائض الله حتى عقل منه، ولا بلغ جميع العابدين في فضل عبادتهم ما بلغ العاقل، إن العقلاء هم أولوا الالباب الذين قال الله عزوجل ” انما يتذكر أولوا الالباب “.

And the intellectual does not fulfill the Obligations of Allah-azwj except being mindful of it. And all the worshippers cannot reach in merits of their worship what the intellectual reaches. The intellectuals, they are the people of understanding about whom Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says [13:19] But rather, only those possessing understanding will mind’.[558]

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin fazal, from Al Hassan Bin Jahm who said,

‘I heard Al-Reza-asws saying: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The friend of every person is his intellect, and his enemy is his ignorance’.[559]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، رفعه قال: ما يعبأ من أهل هذا الدين بمن لا عقل له، قال: قلت: جعلت فداك إنا نأتي قوما لا بأس لهم عندنا ممن يصف هذا الامر ليست لهم تلك العقول، فقال: ليس هؤلاء ممن خاطب الله في قوله: ” يا أولى الالباب ” إن الله خلق العقل فقال له: ” أقبل ” فأقبل، ثم قال له: ” أدبر ” فأدبر، فقال: ” وعزتي وجلالى ما – خلقت شيئا أحسن منك أو أحب إلي منك، بك آخذ وبك أعطى “.

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

He-asws said: ‘Do not fault the people of this Religion, from the ones who have no intellect for them’. I said, ‘We come across people who have no problems with us, from the ones who are described to be upon this matter, but they do not have that intellect’. So he-asws said: ‘Those are not from the ones whom Allah-azwj has Addressed in His-azwj Book as the people of understanding. Allah-azwj Created the intellect, so He-azwj Said to it: “Come forward!” So it came. Then Said to it: “Turn back!” So it turned back. So He-azwj Said: “By My-azwj Honour and My-azwj Majesty! I-azwj have not Created anything more beautiful than you, or more Beloved to Me-azwj than you. With you I-azwj shall Seize, and by you I-azwj shall Give”.[560]

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from sone of our companions,

The narrator says: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘What is the intellect?’ He-asws said: ‘What the Beneficent is worshipped by, and the Paradise is attained by’.

‘Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws was asked about the intellect. He-asws said: ‘Swallowing of the heartbreak and persuading the enemies’.[565]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، رفعه قال: قال: العاقل لا يحدث من يخاف تكذيبه، ولا يسأل من يخاف منعه، ولا يتقدم على ما يخاف العذر منه، ولا يرجو من لا يوثق برجائه

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

‘He-asws said: ‘The intellectual does not discuss with the one whom he fears would belie him, nor does he ask one whom he fears would refuse him, nor does he embark upon (a matter) for which he fears failure, nor does he hope in one who cannot be trusted with his hopes’.[566]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، رفعه قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: يستدل بكتاب الرجل على عقله وموضع بصيرته، وبرسوله على فهمه وفطنته.

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

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The man is evidenced upon his intellect by a Book (of Allah-azwj) and the placement of his insight, and by His-azwj Rasool-saww over his understanding (of Ahadeeth) and his realisation (his actions)’.[567]

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Hates the weak Believer who has no Religion for himself’.[568]

عنه، عن علي بن حديد، عن سماعة بن مهران، قال: كنت عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام وعنده عدة من مواليه فجرى ذكر العقل والجهل فقال عليه السلام: اعرفوا العقل وجنده واعرفوا الجهل وجنده تهتدوا،

From him, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Sama’at Bin Mahran who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and in his-asws presence were a number of his-as loyalists. So there flowed a mention of the intellect and the ignorance. So he-asws said: ‘Get to know, the intellect and its army, and the ignorance and its army, and you would be Guided’.

قال سماعة: فقلت: جعلت فداك لا نعرف إلا ما عرفتنا، فقال أبو – عبد الله عليه السلام: إن الله خلق العقل وهو أول خلق خلقه من الروحانيين عن يمين العرش من نوره، فقال له: ” أدبر ” فأدبر، ثم قال له: ” أقبل ” فأقبل، فقال الله عزوجل له: ” خلقتك خلقا عظيما وأكرمتك على جميع خلقي “،

Sama’at said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! We do not understand except what you-asws make us to understand’. So Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Created the intellect, and it is the first of the creatures to be Created from the spiritual realm from the right of the Throne, from His-azwj Light. So He-azwj Said to it: “Turn back!” so it turned back. Then Said to it: “Come forward!” So it came. So Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said to it: ‘I-azwj have Created you as a magnificent creature, and Honoured you over all of My-azwj creatures”.

قال: ثم خلق الجهل من البحر الاجاج الظلماني فقال له: ” أدبر ” فأدبر ثم قال له: ” أقبل ” فلم يقبل، فقال الله له: ” أستكبرت “؟ فلعنه، ثم جعل للعقل خمسة وسبعين جندا فلما رأى الجهل ما أكرم الله به العقل وما أعطاه أضمر له العداوة فقال الجهل: يا رب هذا خلق مثلي، خلقته وكرمته وقويته وأنا ضده ولا قوة لي به، فأعطني من الجند مثل ما أعطيته، فقال: نعم، فان عصيت بعد ذلك أخرجتك وجندك من رحمتي، قال: قد رضيت، فأعطاه خمسة وسبعين جندا

He-asws said: ‘Then He-azwj Created the ignorance from the salty dark ocean. So He-azwj Said to it: “Turn back” So it turned back. Then Said to it: “Come forward!” But it did not come forward. So Allah-azwj Said to it: “Are you being arrogant?” So He-azwj Cursed it. Then He-azwj Made seventy-five armies for the intellect. So when the ignorance saw what Prestige Allah-azwj has Honoured the intellect with, and what He-azwj had Given it, harboured enmity towards it. So the ignorance said: ‘O Lord-azwj! This is a creature similar to me. You-azwj Created it, and Honoured it, and Strengthened it. And I am opposite to it, and there is no strength for me by it. Therefore Given me the army similar to what You-azwj have Given it’. So He-azwj Said: “Yes. But, if you were to disobey Me-azwj after that, I-azwj will Throw you and your army out from My-azwj Mercy”. It said, ‘I have agreed’. Thus, He-azwj Gave it seventy-five armies.

فكان مما أعطى الله العقل من الخمسة والسبعين الجند الخير، وهو وزير العقل، وجعل ضده الشر، وهو وزير الجهل،

So from what Allah-azwj Gave the intellect from the seventy five armies, the army of goodness is its Vizier, and Made its opposite to be (the army of) evil, and it is the Vizier of the (armies of) the ignorance.

3 باب الهداية من الله عزوجل

Chapter 3 – The Guidance is from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic

عنه، عن أبي خداش المهدي، عن الهيثم بن حفص، عن زرارة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: ليس على الناس أن يعلموا حتى يكون الله هو المعلم لهم، فإذا علمهم فعليهم أن يعلموا.

From him, from Abu Khadash Al Mahdy, from Al Haysam Bin Hafs, from Zarara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘It is not upon the people that they would know unless Allah-azwj Becomes the Teacher for them. So when He-azwj Teaches them, so it is up to them to learn’.[579]

عنه، عن عدة، عن عباس بن عامر، عن مثنى الحناط، عن أبي بصير قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: إن الله خلق خلقه فخلق قوما لحبنا، لو أن أحدهم خرج من هذا الرأى لرده الله إليه وإن رغم أنفه، وخلق قوما لبغضنا لا يحبوننا أبدا.

From him, from a number, from Abaas Bin Aamir, from Masny Al hanaat, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj Created His-azwj creatures, so He-azwj Created a people who love us-asws. If one of them were to exit from this view, Allah-azwj would Return him to it, even if it be through his nose. And Allah-azwj Created a people who hate us-asws. They will never love us-asws, ever!’[580]

عنه، عن محمد بن إسماعيل، عن أبي إسماعيل السراج، عن ابن مسكان، عن ثابت أبي سعيد قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: يا ثابت ما لكم وللناس، كفوا عن الناس ولا تدعوا أحدا إلى أمركم، فوالله لو أن أهل السماوات وأهل الارضين اجتمعوا على أن يهدوا عبدا يريد الله ضلالته ما استطاعوا على أن يهدوه، ولو أن أهل السماوات وأهل – الارضين اجتمعوا على أن يضلوا عبدا لله يريد الله هداه ما استطاعوا أن يضلوه،

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Abu Ismail Al Siraaj, from Ibn Muskaan, from Sabit Abu Saeed who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Sabit! What have you to do with the people? Refrain from the people and do not invite anyone to your matter, for by Allah-azwj, even if the inhabitants of the skies and the inhabitants of the firmaments get together that they would guide a servant whose straying is Intended by Allah-azwj, they would not have the ability over guiding him. And if the inhabitants of the skies and the inhabitants of the firmaments get together that they would stray a servant whose Guidance is Intended by Allah-azwj, they would not have the ability to stray him.

كفوا عن الناس ولا يقل أحدكم: ” أخي، وابن عمي، وجاري “، فان الله إذا أراد بعبد خيرا طيب روحه فلا يسمع معروفا إلا عرفه ولا منكرا إلا أنكره، ثم يقذف الله في قلبه كلمة يجمع بها أمره.

Refrain from the people and not one of you should say, ‘My brother, or my cousin, or my neighbour’, for when Allah-azwj intends goodness for a servant, Purifies his soul so that he does not hear something good except that he recognises it, nor any evil except that he rejects it. Then Allah-azwj Throws a Word in his heart, by which He-azwj Consolidates his affairs’.[581]

عنه، عن عبد الله بن هشام بن سالم، عن سليمان بن خالد قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: يا سليمان إن لك قلبا ومسامع، وإن الله إذا أراد أن يهدى عبدا فتح مسامع قلبه، وإذا أراد به غير ذلك ختم مسامع قلبه فلا يصلح أبدا، وهو قول الله عزوجل ” أم على قلوب أقفالها ”

From him, from Abdullah Bin Hisham Bin Salim, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘O Suleyman! Verily for your heart is a hearing. And when Allah-azwj Intends to Guide a servant, (Allah-azwj) Opens the hearing of his heart. And when He-azwj Intends with him other than that, (Allah-azwj) Seals the hearing of his heart, so he would not be correct, ever. And these are the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [47:24] Do they not then reflect on the Quran? Or upon their hearts are locks’.[582]

عنه، عن القاسم بن محمد وفضالة بن أيوب، عن كليب بن معاوية الاسدي قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ما أنتم والناس، إن الله إذا أراد بعبد خيرا نكت في قلبه نكتة بيضاء فإذا هو يجول لذلك ويطلبه.

From him, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad and Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Kaleyb Bin Muawiya Al Asady who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘What is it with you and the people? Whenever Allah-azwj Intends good with a servant, (Allah-azwj) Creates a spot in his heart, a white spot, So when it is such, he wanders around and seeks it (the Truth)’.[583]

عنه، عن فضالة بن أيوب، عن القاسم بن يزيد، عن سليمان بن خالد قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: أذا أراد الله بعبد خيرا نكت في قلبه نكتة بيضاء، فجال القلب يطلب الحق، ثم هو إلى أمركم أسرع من الطير إلى وكره.

From him, from fazaalat Bin Ayoub, from Al Qasim Bin Yazeed, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Whenever Allah-azwj Intends good with a servant, (Allah-azwj) Creates a spot in his heart, a white spot. So it makes the heart seek the Truth. Then he would be upon your matter (Al Wilayah) quicker than the (flight of the) bird to its nest’.[584]

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from his father who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Make your matters to be for (the Sake) of Allah-azwj and do not make them to be for the (sake of) the people, for what was for (the Sake of) Allah-azwj, so it is for Allah-azwj, and what was for the (sake of the) people, so it would not ascend to Allah-azwj.

فلا تخاصموا الناس لدينكم فان المخاصمة ممرضة للقلب، إن الله قال لنبيه صلى الله عليه وآله: ” إنك لا تهدى من أحببت ولكن الله يهدى من يشاء ” وقال: ” أفأنت تكره الناس حتى يكونوا مؤمنين ” ذر الناس فان الناس أخذوا عن الناس وإنكم أخذتم عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وعلي عليه السلام ولا سواء، إني سمعت أبي يقول: إن الله إذا كتب على عبد أن يدخل في هذا الامر كان أسرع إليه من الطير إلى وكره.

Do not dispute with the people about your Religion, for the disputing is from the illnesses of the heart. Allah-azwj Said to His-azwj Prophet-saww [28:56] Surely, you cannot guide whom you love, but Allah Guides whom He Desires to; and Said [10:99] will you then force the people until they become Believers?. The people are scattered, for the people take from the people, while you take from Rasool-Allah-saww and Ali-asws, and it is not the same. I-asws heard my-asws father-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj, when He-azwj Ordains upon a servant that he should enter into this matter (Al-Wilayah), he would be quicker to it than the flight of the bird to its nest’.[585]

From him, from his father, from Fazaalat, from Abu Al magra, from Abu Baseer, from Khaseyma Bin Abdul Rahman Al Ju’fy who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘The heart (of a Believer) overturns from its place to its larynx (vocal cords) what does not hit it from the Truth. So when the Truth hits it, (the herat) accepts it’. Then he-asws joined his-asws fingers, and recited this Verse [6:125] Therefore (for) whomsoever Allah Intends that He would Guide him aright, He Expands his chest for Islam, and (for) whomsoever He Intends that He should Let him to err, He makes his chest straitened and narrow’.[588]

They are insulting us-asws on the spur of the moment (instinctively).

Even if the people were to struggle to increase among them a single man, or reduce from them a single man, they would not have the ability over that’.[595]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘What you know of, so say it, and what you do not know, so say, ‘Allah-azwj is more Knowing’. The man interprets a Verse from the Quran (by his opinion) so he falls with regards to it (from a distance) further than the sky’.[609]

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Al Haysam, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When the man among you is asked about what he does not know, so he should say, ‘I don’t know’, and he should not say, ‘Allah-azwj is more Knowing’, for there would cause a doubt in the heart of his companion. And when the questioned one says, ‘I don’t know’, so the questioner cannot accuse him’.[610]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن ربعي بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أحدهما عليهما السلام، قال: للعالم إذا سئل عن شئ وهو لا يعلمه أن يقول: ” الله أعلم “. وليس لغير العالم أن يقول ذلك.

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from one of them-asws (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘When the scholar is asked about something he does not know, he should be saying, ‘Allah-azwj is more Knowing’. And that is not for someone other than the scholar to say’.[611]

6 – باب البدع

Chapter 6 – The Innovation

عنه، عن أبي يوسف يعقوب بن يزيد، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن حريز رفعه قال: كل بدعة ضلالة، وكل ضلالة سبيلها إلى النار.

From him, from Abu Yusuf Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, raising it,

He-asws said, ‘Every innovation is straying, and every straying, its way is to the Fire’.[614]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن محمد بن سنان، عن أبي خالد، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: أدنى الشرك أن يتبدع الرجل رأيا فيحب عليه ويبغض.

From him, from one of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The lowest of Polytheism (Shirk) is the innovation of the man of an opinion, so he loves and hates upon it’.[615]

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن العمي، باسناده قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: أبي الله لصاحب البدعة بالتوبة، قيل: يا رسول الله كيف ذاك؟ – قال: إنه قد أشرب قلبه حبها.

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from the general Muslims, by his chain, said,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Refuses (to Accept) the repentance of the innovator’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Why is that?’ He-saww said: ‘His heart has drunk (from) its love’.[616]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن الحكم، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام ومحمد بن حمران، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، قال: كان رجل في الزمان الاول طلب الدنيا من حلال فلم يقدر عليها، فطلبها حراما فلم يقدر عليها، فأتاه الشيطان فقال: يا هذا قد طلبت الدنيا من حلال فلم تقدر عليها، وطلبتها من الحرام فلم تقدر عليها، أفلا أدلك على شئ يكثر به دنياك ويكثر به تبعك؟ – قال، نعم،

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Abdullah-asws; and Muhammad Bin Hamran, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There was a man in the former times who sought the world by Permissible means, but was not able to. So he sought it by Prohibited means, but he was not able to. So Satan-la came up to him and said, ‘O you! You have sought the world from Permissible means but you were not able to, and sought it by Prohibited means, but were to able to. Shall I direct you to a thing by which your world would be abundant, and you would have abundant followers?’ He said, ‘Yes’.

قال: تبتدع دينا وتدعو إليه الناس، (قال:) ففعل، فاستجاب له الناس فاطأعوه وأصاب من الدنيا (قال:) ثم إنه فكر وقال: ما صنعت شيئا؟ ابتدعت دينا ودعوت الناس إليه، ما أرى لي توبة إلا أن آتى من دعوته إليه فأرده عنه

He-la said, ‘Innovate a Religion and invite the people towards it’. So he did it. The people responded to him, and he secured (a lot) from the world. Then he thought (to himself) and said, ‘What thing have I done? I innovated a religion and invited the people to it. I do not see repentance for myself except that I should come to the ones I invited, and return them back’.

(قال:) فجعل يأتي أصحابه الذين أجابوه فيقول: إن الذي دعوتكم إليه باطل وإنما ابتدعته كذبا، فجعلوا يقولون له: كذبت، هو الحق ولكنك شككت في دينك فرجعت عنه

So he went to his companions who has responded to him, so he was saying, ‘That which I have invited to, is false, but rather it was I who innovated it falsely’. So they went on to say, ‘You are lying! But, it is the truth, but you are doubting in your religion, so you have returned from it’.

(قال:) فلما رأى ذلك عمد إلى سلسلة فأوتد لها وتدا ثم جعلها في عنقه فقال: لا أحلها حتى يتوب الله علي، (قال:) فأوحى الله تعالى إلي نبي من أنبيائه أن قل لفلان بن فلان: ” وعزتي وجلالى لو دعوتني حتى تنقطع أوصالك ما استجبت لك حتى ترد من مات على ما دعوته إليه فيرجع عنه.

So when he saw that, he deliberately chained himself, and pegged it to the ground, and chained himself around his neck, and said, ‘I will not release it until Allah-azwj Turns to me (with Mercy)’. So Allah-azwj Revealed unto a Prophet-saww from His-azwj Prophets-as : “Say to so and so, son of so and so: “By My-azwj Honour and My-azwj Majesty! Even if you supplicate to Me-azwj until you are cut apart, I-azwj will not Answer you, until you return everyone who died upon what you had invited him to, but you cannot return him (to life and true faith)’.[617]

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن معاوية بن وهب، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إن لله عند كل بدعة تكون بعدى يكاد بها الايمان وليا من أهل بيتي موكلا به يذب عنه، ينطق بالهام من الله ويعلن الحق وبنوره يرد كيد الكائدين (يعنى عن الضعفاء) فاعتبروا يا أولى الابصار وتوكلوا على الله.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj, with every innovation which would take place after me-saww by which the Imaan would be plotted against, there would be a Guardian-asws from the People-asws of my-saww Household, allocated to defend it (the Imaan). He-asws would speak by the Inspiration from Allah-azwj, and would proclaim the Truth, and by his-asws Light, repel the plots of the plotters (meaning from the weak ones). Therefore, learn a lesson, O people of insight! And rely upon Allah-azwj’.[618]

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن محمد بن جمهور العمى رفعه قال: من أتى ذا بدعة فعظمه فانما سعى في هدم الاسلام.

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour Al A’ma, raising it,

He-asws said: ‘The one who comes to an innovator and magnifies him, so he has strived for the destruction of Al-Islam’.[619]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن هارون بن الجهم، عن حفص بن عمرو، عن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه عن علي عليهم السلام قال: من مشى إلى صاحب بدعة فوقرة فقد مشى في هدم الاسلام.

From him, from his father, from Haroun Bin Al Jaham, from Hafs Bin Amro, from Abu Abdullah -asws, from his father,

(It has been narrated) from Ali-asws having said: ‘The one who walks to the innovator, and respected him, so he has walked for the destruction of Al-Islam’.[620]

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن عاصم بن حميد، عن محمد بن مسلم، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال: خطب أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام الناس فقال: أيها الناس إنما بدء وقوع الفتن أهواء تتبع، وأحكام تبتدع، يخالف فيها كلام الله، يقلد فيها رجال رجالا، ولو أن الباطل خلص لم يخف على ذي حجى، ولو أن الحق خلص لم يكن اختلاف، ولكن يؤخذ من هذا ضغث ومن هذا ضغث فيمزجان فيجيئان معا، فهنالك استحوذ الشيطان على أوليائه، ونجا الذين سبقت لهم من الله الحسنى

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws addressed the people: ‘O you people! But rather, the beginning of the occurrence of the Fitna (Strife) is from the following of the desires, and rulings which have been innovated, in which the Speech of Allah-azwj is opposed, in which a man emulates (does Taqleed) of a man. And if the falsehood was pure, the one with arguments would not fear it; and if the Truth was pure, there would be no differing. But, they take a handful of this, and a handful of that, so they mix up the two and come with these two. So it is over that, the Satan-la enchains his-la friends, those for whom the goodness has preceded from Allah-azwj attain salvataion (21:101)’.[621]

عنه، عن عدة من أصحابنا، عن علي بن أسباط، عن عمه يعقوب بن زرارة، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: من اجترى على الله في المعصية وارتكاب الكبائر فهو كافر، ومن نصب دينا غير دين الله فهو مشرك.

From him, from a number of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from his uncle Yaqoub Bin Zarara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘The one who is audacious (fearless) to Allah-azwj regarding the disobedience and indulges in the major sins, so he is a disbeliever. And the one who establishes a Religion other than the Religion of Allah-azwj, so he is a Polytheist’.[622]

7 – باب المقائيس والرأى

Chapter 7 – The analogist and the opinion

عنه، عن أبيه، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام في رسالته إلى أصحاب الرأى والقياس: أما بعد فانه من دعا غيره إلى دينه بالارتياء والمقائيس لم ينصف ولم يصب حظه لان المدعو إلى ذلك لا يخلو أيضا من الارتياء والمقائيس، ومتى ما لم يكن بالداعى قوة في دعائه على المدعو لم يؤمن على الداعي أن يحتاج إلى المدعو بعد قليل، لانا قد رأينا المتعلم الطالب ربما كان فائقا لمعلم ولو بعد حين، ورأينا المعلم الداعي ربما احتاج في رأيه إلى رأى من يدعو

From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws in his-asws message to the people of the opinion and the analogy: ‘After this, so the one who invited others to his Religion by the opinions and the analogies, he did not do justice, and did not hit his fortune because the invitee to that was himself not devoid of the opinions and the analogies. And when the inviter did not have the strength regarding his call to the invitee to believe the inviter, he became needy of the invitee after a while, because we have seen the student sometimes being superior to the teacher even though it be after a while, and we have seen the educated inviter sometimes being needy in his opinion to the opinion of the one whom he has invited.

وفي ذلك تحير الجاهلون وشك المرتابون وظن الظانون ولو كان ذلك عند الله جائزا لم يبعث الله الرسل بما فيه الفصل، ولم ينه عن الهزل، ولم يعب الجهل،

And in that is the confusion of the ignorant, and the doubts of the sceptics, and the guesses of the conjecturers. And if that was permissible in the Presence of Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj would not have Sent the Rasools-as with that in the gap (in the duration), and not have Forbidden the humour, and not faulted the ignorant.

ولكن الناس لما سفهوا الحق وغمطوا النعمة، واستغنوا بجهلهم وتدابيرهم عن علم الله، واكتفوا بذلك دون رسله والقوام بأمره، وقالوا: لا شئ إلا ما أدركته عقولنا وعرفته ألبابنا

But, the people, when they depreciated the Truth and showed scorn for the Bounties, and became needless of the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, due to their ignorance and their management, and contented themselves with that, besides His-azwj Rasools-as and standing by their-as orders, and said, ‘There is nothing except what our intellects are aware of, and our minds recognise (i.e., what makes sense to us)’.

فولاهم الله ما تولوا وأهملهم وخذلهم حتى صاروا عبدة أنفسهم من حيث لا يعملون، ولو كان الله رضي منهم اجتهادهم وارتياءهم فيما ادعوا من ذلك لم يبعث الله إليهم فاصلا لما بينهم ولا زاجرا عن وصفهم و انما استدللنا أن رضا الله غير ذلك ببعثه الرسل بالامور القيمة الصحيحة والتحذير عن الامور المشكلة المفسدة،

Thus, Allah-azwj’s (Commands) escaped from them (their minds), and what they turned towards, neglected them and abandoned them until they became slaves to their own selves from where they did not know.

And if Allah-azwj was Pleased with them, and their Ijtihaad, and their opinions with regards to what they invited from that, Allah-azwj would not have Sent to them Decisions to what is (differing) between them, nor Warn about their qualities, but rather, what evidences us to the Pleasure of Allah-azwj is other than that, by the Sending of the Rasools-as with the Commands, and the correct standings, and the Warning about the doubtful and corrupt matters.

ثم جعلهم أبوابه وصراطه والادلاء عليه بأمور محجوبة عن الرأى والقياس، فمن طلب ما عند الله بقياس ورأى لم يزدد من الله إلا بعدا، ولم يبعث رسولا قط وان طال عمره قابلا من الناس خلاف ما جاء به حتى يكون متبوعا مرة و تابعا أخرى،

Then He-azwj Made them-as as His-azwj Doors, and His-azwj Way, and the Directors towards Him-azwj by matters veiled from the opinions and the analogies. So the one who seeks what was is in the Presence of Allah-azwj by the analogy and opinion, it will not increase from Allah-azwj anything except for the remoteness. And Allah-azwj did not Send a Rasool-as at all, and Lengthened his-as age, and faced opposition from the people due to what he-as came with, until he-as became followed one time, and followed (others) another time. (i.e., such a thing never happened).

ولم ير أيضا فيما جاء به استعمل رأيا ولا مقياسا حتى يكون ذلك واضحا عنده كالوحي من الله وفي ذلك دليل لكل ذي لب وحجى أن أصحاب الرأى والقياس مخطئون مدحضون وإنما الاختلاف فيما دون الرسل لا في الرسل

And he-as (the Prophet-as) was not seen as well, with regards to what he-as came with, using (his-as own) opinion, nor an analogy, until that became clear with him-as like the Revelation from Allah-azwj. And in that is the evidence for every one with a mind and argument, that the people of the opinion and the analogy are erroneous, bewildered. But rather, the differing is in what is besides the Rasools-as and not in the Rasools-as.

فاياك أيها المستمع أن تجمع عليك خصلتين احداهما القذف بما جاش به صدرك واتباعك لنفسك إلى غير قصد ولا معرفة حد، والاخرى استغناؤك عما فيه حاجتك وتكذيبك لمن إليه مردك

So beware, O you listeners, from two qualities gathering into you – one of which is the throwing of what your chests are excited with, and following yourselves to other than what you set out to without understanding its limits; and the other is your being self-sufficient about what is your need therein, and your belying to the One-azwj to Whom is your eventual return.

و إياك وترك الحق سأمة وملالة، وانتجاعك الباطل جهلا وضلالة، لانا لم نجد تابعا لهواه جائزا عما ذكرنا قط رشيدا فانظر في ذلك.

And beware of neglecting the Truth out of boredom and tiredness, and your coming to the Falsehood out of ignorance and the straying, because we will not find a follower of his own desires, allowing at all what we-asws have mentioned, to be upon Guidance. Therefore, look into that’.[623]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، عمن ذكره، عن معاوية بن ميسرة بن شريح، قال: شهدت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام في مسجد الخيف وهو في حلقة فيها نحو من مائتي رجل فيهم عبد الله بن شبرمة فقال: يا أبا عبد الله إنا نقضى بالعراق فنقضي ما نعلم من الكتاب والسنة وترد علينا المسألة فنجتهد فيها بالرأى قال: فأنصت الناس جميع من حضر للجواب وأقبل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام على من على يمينه يحدثهم فلما رأى الناس ذلك أقبل بعضهم على بعض وتركوا الانصات.

From him, from one of our companions, from the one who mentioned it, from Muawiya Bin Maysara Bin Shareeh who said,

‘I witnessed Abu Abdullah-asws in Masjid Al-Kheef, and he-asws was in a circle wherein were approximately one hundred men, among whom was Abdullah Bin Shabrama. So he said, ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws! We are judges at Al-Iraq and we judge by what we know from the Book and the Sunnah. And certain questions are referred to us, so we do Ijtihaad in these with our opinion’. He (the narrator) said, ‘The people altogether were silent from waiting for the answer, and Abu Abdullah-asws faced towards the ones to his-asws right, discussing with them. So when the people saw that, some of them faced each other and neglected the silence.

(قال:) ثم تحدثوا ما شاء الله ثم إن ابن شبرمة قال: يا أبا عبد الله إنا قضاة العراق وإنا نقضى بالكتاب والسنة وإنه ترد علينا أشياء نجتهد فيها بالرأى قال: فأنصت جميع الناس للجواب وأقبل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام على من على يساره يحدثهم فلما رأى الناس ذلك أقبل بعضهم على بعض وتركوا الانصات

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then discussion took place what as long as Allah-azwj so Desired, then Ibn Shabrama said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! We are judges of Al-Iraq, and we judge by the Book and the Sunnah, and certain things are referred to us, wherein we do Ijtihaad with the opinion’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So all the people were silent for the answer, and Abu Abdullah-asws faced to the ones to his-asws left and discussed with them. So when the people saw that, some of them faced each other and neglected the silence’.

ثم إن ابن شبرمة مكث ما شاء الله ثم عاد لمثل قوله: فأقبل أبو عبد الله عليه السلام فقال: أي رجل كان علي بن أبي طالب؟ – فقد كان عندكم بالعراق ولكم به خبر، قال: فأطرأه ابن شبرمة وقال فيه قولا عظيما، فقال له أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: فان عليا أبي أن يدخل في دين الله الرأى وأن يقول في شئ من دين الله بالرأى والمقائيس،

Then Ibn Shabrama remained (like that) for as long as Allah-azwj so desired, then repeated similar to his speech. So Abu Abdullah-asws faced him and said: ‘Which man was (with) Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws? He-asws was among you at Al-Iraq, and for you, by him-asws was news (Hadeeth)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Ibn Shabrama frowned and said a grievous thing about him-asws. So Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Surely Ali-asws refused to include the opinion in the Religion of Allah-azwj, and that you should be saying regarding something from the Religion of Allah-azwj by the opinion and the analogy’.

فقال أبو ساسان: فلما كان الليل دخلت على أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فقال لي: يا أبا ساسان لم يدعنى صاحبكم ابن شبرمة حتى أجبته ثم قال: لو علم ابن شبرمة من اين هلك الناس ما دان بالمقائيس ولا عمل بها.

So Abu Sasaan said, ‘So when it was the night, I came up to Abu Abdullah-asws, and he-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Sasaan! Your companion Ibn Shabrama would not have left me-asws until I-asws answered him’. Then he-asws said: ‘If only Ibn Shabrama knew from where the people are destroyed, he would not have made a Religion by the analogies and would not have acted by it’.[624]

From him, from his father, from Fazaalat, from Aban Al Ahmar, from Abu Shayba who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The analogists seek the knowledge by the analogies, so these analogies do not increase them from the Truth except for the remoteness (from it), and the Religion of Allah-azwj cannot be caught/captured by the analogies’.[626]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن بعض أصحابه قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام لابي حنيفة: ويحك إن أول من قاس ابليس لما أمره بالسجود لآدم، قال: ” خلقتني من نار وخلقته من طين “.

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from one of his companions who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to Abu Haneefa: ‘Woe be unto you! The first one to analogise what Iblees-la when he-la was Commanded to prostrate to Adam-as, saying, ‘You-azwj have Created me-la from fire and Created him-as from clay’.[627]

عنه، عن الحسن بن على بن يقطين، عن الحسين بن مياح، عن أبيه، عن أبى – عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن إبليس قاس نفسه بآدم فقال: خلقتني من نار وخلقته من طين، فلو قاس الجوهر الذي خلق الله منه آدم بالنار كان ذلك أكثر نورا وضياءا من النار

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Yaqteen, from Al Husayn Bin Mayaah, from his father,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Iblees-la analogised himself-la with Adam-as, so he-la said, ‘You-azwj Created me-la from fire and Created him-as from clay’. If only he-la had compared the essence with which Allah-azwj Created Adam-as from, with the fire, which was more illuminating that the fire’.[628]

From him, from his father, from hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Ibn Muskaan, from Abu Al Rabi’e, from Abdul Rabi’e Al shamy who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What is the lowest of that makes a servant exit from the Imaan (faith)?’ So he-asws said: ‘The ‘opinion’ he opines in opposition to the Truth, so he stands on it’.[629]

From him, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed Al Ataar Al Bajaly, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly, from Yahya Bin Aqeel who said,

‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws said: ‘I-asws fear for you from two – following the desires, and the lengthy deeds (workaholic). So as for following of the desires, so it would repel you from the Truth, and as for the lengthy deeds (endless effort for the world), so these would make you forget the Hereafter’.[630]

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن عبد الله بن بكير، عن عبيد بن زرارة، عن رجل لم يسمه أنه سأل أبا عبد الله عليه السلام رجلان تدارئا في شئ فقال: أحدهما أشهد أن هذا كذا وكذا برأيه فوافق الحق، وكف الاخر فقال: القول قول العلماء؟ – فقال: هذا أفضل الرجلين أو قال: أورعهما.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Abdullah Bin Bakeyr, from Ubeyd Bin zarara, from a man not named,

He (the narrator) who asked Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Two men opined with regards to something, so one of them said, ‘I testify that this is such and such’, by his opinion. So it was compatible with the Truth, and the other refrained’, so he said: ‘The words are the words of the scholar?’ So he-asws said: ‘This is the better of the two men’ – or he-asws said: ‘(better of the) two decisions’.[631]

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘With us is one who has seen your-asws father-asws and your-asws grandfather, and the man from us gets indulged with something which is not with us, so can he analogise?’ So he-asws said: ‘But rather, the ones before you were destroyed when they analogised’.[633]

However, sometimes such a thing is referred to us, that we have not been given anything about it, neither from you-asws, nor from your-asws forefathers-asws. So we look at the best of what is present with us, and the most satisfactory things which have come to us from you-asws, so shall we take to it?’

So the Imam-asws said: ‘Impossible! Impossible! By Allah-azwj! It is with regards to that, was destroyed the one who was destroyed, O Ibn Hakeem.

ثم قال: لعن الله أبا حنيفة يقول: قال علي و قلت،

Then the Imam-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Curse Abu Haneefa for saying, ‘Ali-asws spoke (this), and I speak (this)’ (implying my judgement is better than Ali-asws)[635].

And Muhammad Bin Hakeem said to Hisham Bin Al-Hakam, ‘By Allah-azwj! I did not intend, except for him-asws to allow me, regarding the analogy’.[636]

From him, from Al Washa, from Al Masny, from Abu Baseer, who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Matters are referred to us, we neither recognise these in the Book nor in the Sunnah, so should we look into these?’ So The Imam-asws said: ‘No’. But, if you were to be correct, you would not be Recompensed (by Allah-azwj) but if you were to err, you would have lied against Allah-azwj’.[637]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن درست بن أبي منصور، عن محمد بن حكيم، قال: قلت لابي الحسن عليه السلام: إنا نتلاقى فيما بيننا فلا يكاد يرد علينا شئ إلا وعندنا فيه شئ وذلك شئ أنعم الله به علينا بكم، وقد يرد علينا الشئ وليس عندنا فيه شئ وعندنا ما يشبهه فنقيس على أحسنه؟ فقال: لا، وما لكم وللقياس،

From him, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Darsat Bin Abu Mansour, from Muhammad Bin Hakeem who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘We get together with regards to what is in between us, so whilst we are in the middle of that, most of the time when something is referred to us, but with us there is something with regards to it, and that is something which Allah-azwj has Bestowed upon us by you-asws. And (sometimes) there is referred to us a matter, and there is not with us anything with regards to it, but with us there is something resembling it. Shall we analogise upon the best of it?’

The Imam-asws said: ‘No. And what have you to do with the analogy?’

ثم قال: لعن الله أبا فلان، كان يقول: قال علي وقلت، وقالت الصحابة وقلت،

Then he-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Curse Abu so and so (Abu Haneefa). He-la used to say, ‘Ali-asws spoke, and I speak; and the companions spoke, and I speak’.

ثم قال: كنت تجلس إليه؟ – قلت: لا ولكن هذا قوله، فقال أبو الحسن عليه السلام: إذا جاءكم ما تعلمون فقولوا، وإذا جائكم ما لا تعلمون فها (ووضع يده على فمه) فقلت: ولم ذاك؟ – قال: لان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله أتى الناس بما اكتفوا به على عهده وما يحتاجون إليه من بعده إلى يوم القيامة.

Then he-asws said: ‘You used to sit with him-la?’ I said, ‘No, but this is his-la speech’. So Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘Whenever there comes to you what you know about, so speak, and whenever there comes to you what you do not know about, so ha!’ – and he-asws placed his-asws hand upon his-asws mouth. So I said, ‘And why is that?’ He-asws said: ‘Because Rasool-Allah-saww gave to the people with what was sufficient for them in his-saww era, and they are not needy from after him-saww up to the Day of Judgement’.[638]

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن ابن بكير، عن محمد بن الطيار قال قال لي أبو جعفر عليه السلام: تخاصم الناس؟ – قلت: نعم، قال: ولا يسألونك عن شئ إلا قلت فيه شيئا؟ – قلت: نعم، قال: فأين باب الرد إذا؟!.

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said,

‘A man from our companions said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘We analogise upon the effects. We hear the report and analogise upon it’. So he-asws refused that and said: ‘The matter is to be referred (to us-asws) when it is with them, so there is not a single matter with any one of them’.[640]

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abdul Rahman Bin Al Hajaaj, from Abaan Bin Taglub who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘A man cut off the finger of a woman’. So he-asws said: ‘With regard to it are ten camels (compensation)’. I said, ‘Cut off two?’ He-asws said: ‘With regards to the two are twenty camels’. I said, ‘Three fingers?’ He-asws said: ‘With regards to these are thirty camels’. I said, ‘Cut off four?’ With regards to these are twenty camels’.

قلت: أيقطع ثلاثا وفيهن ثلاثون من الابل ويقطع أربعا وفيها عشرون من الابل؟! قال: نعم، إن المرأة إذا بلغت الثلث من دية الرجل سفلت المرأة وارتفع الرجل إن السنة لا تقاس، ألا ترى أنها تؤمر بقضاء صومها ولا تؤمر بقضاء صلوتها، يا أبان حدثتني بالقياس وإن السنة إذا قيست محق الدين.

I said, ‘If he cuts off three, and with regards to these (the compensation) is thirty camels, and he cuts off four, with regards to these its twenty camels?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes. When the woman reaches a third of the blood-money (compensation) of the man, the woman descends and the man rises. For the Sunnah, do not analogise. Have you not seen that she has been Commanded to fulfil her Fasts (laps ones), and has not been Commanded to fulfil her Prayers? O Aban! She has been discussed with the analogy, and the Sunnah, if analogised, the Religion would be annihilated’.[644]

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Everything refers back to the Book of Allah-azwj and the Sunnah, and every Hadeeth which is not in accordance with the Book of Allah-azwj, so it is meaningless’.[675]

‘The Prophet-saww addressed and said: ‘O you people! Whatever comes to you from me-saww which is compatible with the Book of Allah-azwj, so I-saww have said it; and whatever comes to you in opposition to the Quran, so I-saww did not say it’.[677]

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن علي، عن أيوب، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إذا حدثتم عنى بالحديث فأنحلوني أهنأه وأسهله و أرشده فان وافق كتاب الله فأنا قلته، وان لم يوافق كتاب الله فلم أقله

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Ali, from Ayoub,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When you narrate the Hadeeth from me-saww, you should remember that it comes from the (Quran) and is true and beautiful, but (when it comes to you) and it is claimed (that it is from me) then the best way to verify it to see if it is compatible with the Book of Allah-azwj , then I-saww have said it, and if it is not compatible with the Book of Allah-azwj , then I-saww have not said it’.[678]

عنه، عن علي بن حسان الواسطي، عن موسى بن بكر، عن زرارة، عن أبي – جعفر عليه السلام في حديث له قال: كل من تعدى السنة رد إلى السنة.

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws in a Hadeeth of his-asws, having said: ‘Every one who transgresses the Sunnah should have to return to the Sunnah (or else is destroyed).

وفي حديث آخر قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: من جهل السنة رد إلى السنة.

And in another Hadeeth –

عنه، عن أبيه، عن أبي اسماعيل ابراهيم بن اسحق الازدي الكوفي، عن عثمان العبدي، عن جعفر بن محمد بن علي، عن أبيه، عن علي عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: قراءة القرآن في الصلوة أفضل من قراءة القرآن في غير الصلوة، وذكر الله أكبر من الصدقة، والصدقة أفضل من الصوم، والصوم جنة من النار قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لا قول إلا بعمل ولا قول ولا عمل إلا بنية، ولا قول ولا عمل ولا نية إلا باصابة السنة.

From him, from his father, from Abu Ismail Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Azady Al Kufy, from Usman Al Abady,

(It has been narrated) from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The recitation of the Quran during the Salaat is higher than recitation of the Quran in other than the Salaat; and the Remembrance of Allah-azwj is greater than the charity; and the charity is higher than the Fasting; and the Fasting is a shield from the Fire. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is no speech except by a deed; and there is neither a speech nor a deed except by intention; and there is neither a speech, nor a deed, nor an intention except by the Sunnah’.[681]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا رفعه قال: قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام لانسبن اليوم الاسلام نسبة لم ينسبه أحد قبلى ولا ينسبه أحد بعدى إلا بمثل ذلك، الاسلام هو التسليم، والتسليم هو اليقين، واليقين هو التصديق، والتصديق هو الاقرار، والاقرار هو العمل، والعمل هو الاداء،

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

‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws said: ‘I-asws shall be describing Al-Islam today (in such a manner) that no one before me-asws has describing it, nor will anyone after me-asws describe it similarly to that. Al-Islam is the submission; and the submission, it is the conviction; and the conviction, it is the ratification; and the ratification, it is the acceptance; and the acceptance, it is the deed; and the deed, it is the performance of it.

إن المؤمن لم يأخذ دينه عن رأيه ولكن أتاه عن ربه فأخذ به، إن المؤمن يرى يقينه في عمله، والكافر يرى انكاره في عمله، فوالذي نفسي بيده ما عرفوا أمر ربهم فاعتبروا انكار الكافرين والمنافقين باعمالهم الخبيثة.

The Believer does not take his Religion from his opinion, but it is Given to him from his Lord-azwj, so he holds onto it. The Believer sees his conviction in his deeds, and the Infidel sees his denial in his deeds. So, by the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-asws soul, they have not recognised the Command of their Lord-azwj. Therefore, learn a lesson from the denial of the Infidels, and the hypocrites, by their bad deeds’.[682]

عنه، عن رفاعة قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: قال الناس لعلي عليه السلام: ألا تخلف رجلا يصلى بضعفاء الناس في العيدين؟ – فقال علي عليه السلام: لا أخالف السنة.

From him, from Rafa’at who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The people said to Ali-asws, ‘Shall we fall behind a man who Prays with the weak people during the two Eids?’ So Ali-asws said: ‘Do not oppose the Sunnah’.[683]

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن علي بن عقبة، عن ميسر، قال: دخلت على أبي – عبد الله عليه السلام وأنا متغير اللون فقال: من أين أحرمت؟ – قلت: من موضع كذا وكذا (قال:) ليس من المواقيت المعروفة، قال: رب طالب خير تزل قدمه، ثم قال أيسرك أنك صليت الظهر في السفر أربعا؟ – قلت: لا، قال: فهو ذاك.

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Maysar who said,

‘I came up to Abu Abdullah-asws and my (face) colour had changed. So he-asws said: ‘From where did you wear Ihraam?’ I said, ‘From such and such a place’. He-asws said: ‘It is not from the well-know places. Perhaps in seeking the good, his feet slipped’. Then he-asws said ‘Is it easier for you to Pray the Zohr (Prayer) during the travelling as four (Cycles)?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws: ‘So it is like that (the wearing of the Ihraam)’.[684]

عنه، عن محمد بن اسماعيل بن بزيع، عن محمد بن يسير، عن عبد الله بن عمر الخثعمي، عن سليمان بن خالد قال: قلت لابي عبد الله عليه السلام: إني أصلي الزوال ستة وأصلى بالليل ستة عشر ركعة قال: اذن تخالف رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله كان يصلي الزوال ثمان ركعات وصلوة الليل ثمان ركعات فقلت: قد أعرف أن هذا هكذا ولكني أقضى الايام الخالية.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Muhammad Bin Yaseyr, from Abdullah Bin Umar Al Khash’amy, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I Pray six (Cycles) in the afternoon, and I Pray sixteen Cycles at night’. He-asws said: ‘Then, you have opposed the Sunnah of Rasool-Allah-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww was Praying eight Cycles in the afternoon, and eight Cycles at night’. So I said, ‘I understood this to be like this, but I fulfilled the lapsed days’.[685]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن غير واحد، عن أبي حمزة الثمالى قال: كان علي بن الحسين عليهما السلام إذا سافر صلى ركعتين ثم ركب راحلته وبقى مواليه يتنفلون فيقف ينتظرهم، فقيل له: ألا تنهاهم؟ – فقال: إني أكره أن أنهى عبدا إذا صلى والسنة أحب إلي.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from someone else, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said,

‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, when he-asws travelled, Prayed two Cycles, then he rode upon his ride, and his-asws slaves remained doing more than what was required of them Praying optional (Prayers). So he-asws paused awaiting them. So it was said to him-asws: ‘Will you-asws not prohibit them?’ So he-asws said: ‘I-asws do not like that I-asws should prohibit a servant when he Prays, and the Sunnah is beloved to me-asws’.[686]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن فضالة بن أيوب، عن أبان بن عثمان الاحمر، عن مفضل بن عبد الملك، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن أبا جعفر عليه السلام سئل من مسألة فأجاب فيها فقال الرجل: ان الفقهاء لا يقولون هذا، فقال له أبي: ويحك إن الفقيه الزاهد في الدنيا الراغب في الاخرة المتمسك بسنة النبي صلى الله عليه وآله.

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Abu Ja’far-asws was asked a question in which the man said, ‘The jurists are not saying this’. So he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws said to him: ‘Woe be unto you! The jurist is the one who abstains from indulgence in the world and is the seeker of the Hereafter  while adhering to the Sunnah of the Prophet-saww’ (so the one you are talking about not jurist).[687]

عنه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، عن آبائه قال: قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام: السنة سنتان، سنة في فريضة الاخذ بها هدى وتركها ضلالة، وسنة في غير فريضة الاخذ بها فضيلة وتركها إلى غيرها خطيئة.

From him, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen-asws said: ‘The Sunnah are two Sunnahs – A Sunnah regarding the Obligations, the taking to it is Guidance, and the neglecting of it is straying; and a Sunnah regarding other than the Obligations – the taking to it is a merit, and neglecting of it to something else is an error’.[688]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، عن عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن البصري، عن ابن مسكان عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام، عن أبيه، عن علي بن الحسين عليهم السلام قال: مر موسى بن عمران عليه السلام برجل وهو رافع يده إلى السماء يدعو الله فانطلق موسى في حاجته فبات سبعة أيام ثم رجع إليه وهو رافع يده إلى السماء فقال: يا رب هذا عبدك رافع يديه إليك يسألك حاجته ويسألك المغفرة منذ سبعة أيام لا تستجيب له! قال: فأوحى الله إليه يا موسى لو دعاني حتى يسقط يداه أو ينقطع لسانه ما استجبت له حتى يأتيني من الباب الذي أمرته

From him, from one of our companions, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahman Al nasry, from Ibn Muskaan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his father, from Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Musa-as Bin Imran-as passed by a man, and he had raised his hands towards the sky supplicating to Allah-azwj. So Musa-as went away for his-as needs, then returned to him after seven days, and he had his hands raised towards the sky. So he-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! This is Your-azwj servant, raising his hands to You-azwj, Asking You-azwj for a need, and asks You-azwj for Forgiveness since the last seven days, You-azwj has not Answered him?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘So Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-as: “O Musa-as! Even if he were to supplicate to Me-azwj until his hands fall down, and his tongue is cut-off, I-azwj will not Answer him until he comes to Me-azwj from the Door which I-azwj have Commanded him by (My-azwj Prophet-as/Imam-asws)”.[689]

عنه، عن القاسم، عن المنقرى، عن حفص بن غياث، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام إن أمير المؤمنين عليهما السلام كان يقول: لا خير في الدنيا إلا لاحد رجلين، رجل يزداد كل يوم إحسانا ورجل يتدارك منيته بالتوبة وأني له بالتوبة والله لو سجد حتى ينقطع عنقه ما قبل الله منه إلا بمعرفة الحق.

From him, from Al Qasim, from Al Manqary, from Hafs Bin Gayas,

And I-asws am for him with the repentance. By Allah-azwj! Even if he were to perform Prostrations until his neck is cut-off, Allah-azwj would not Accept from him except with the understanding of the Truth (following a Divine Imam-asws/his-asws Sunnah)’.[690]

And if that were not to happen, the Truth would not be recognisable from the falsehood’.[750]

عنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن الربيع بن محمد المسلمى، عن عبد الله بن سليمان العامري، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: ما زالت الارض ولله فيها حجة يعرف الحلال والحرام، ويدعو إلى سبيل الله، ولا ينقطع الحجة من الارض إلا أربعين يوما قبل يوم القيامة، فإذا رفعت الحجة أغلق باب التوبة ولم ينفع نفسا إيمانها لم تكن آمنت من قبل أن ترفع الحجة وأولئك شرار من خلق الله، وهم الذين يقوم عليهم القيامة

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Rabi’e Bin Muhammad Al Maslamy, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman Al Aamiry,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘By Allah-azwj! The earth will never cease to remain in a state in which there is a Proof-asws who-asws recognises the Permissible and the Prohibited, and calls to the Way of Allah-azwj. And the Proof-asws will never be cut-off from the earth except for forty days before the Day of Judgement. So when the Proof-asws is Raised up, the door of repentance would be Locked, and no soul who did not believe before the Raising of the Proof-asws would benefit by his faith, and they would be the most evil of the creatures of Allah-azwj, and it is to them that the Day of Judgement would be Established’.[751]

22 – باب حجج الله على خلقه

Chapter 22 – Argument of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures

عنه، عن محمد بن علي، عن حكم بن مسكين الثقفي، عن النضر بن قرواش قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: إنما احتج الله على العباد بما آتاهم وعرفهم.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Hakam Bin Maskeyn Al-Saqafy, from Al-Nazar Bin Qarwash who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘But rather, Allah-azwj would Argue upon the servant with what He-azwj had Given them and what they understood’.[752]

عنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن أبان الاحمر، عن حمزة بن الطيار، عن أبي – عبد الله (ع) قال: قال لي: اكتب، فأملى: ان من قولنا: ان الله يحتج على العباد بالذي آتاهم وعرفهم ثم أرسل إليهم رسولا وأنزل عليه الكتاب وأمر فيه ونهى، وأمر فيه بالصلوة والصوم فنام رسول الله (صلعم) عن الصلوة فقال: أنا أنيمك وأنا أوقظك، فإذا قمت فصل ليعلموا إذا أصابهم ذلك كيف يصنعون، ليس كما يقولون: إذا قام عنها هلك، وكذلك الصيام، أنا أمرضك وأنا أصخك فإذا شفيتك فاقضه،

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abaan Al Ahmar, from Hamza Bin Al Tayyar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘He-asws said to me: ‘Write! So I-asws am dictating. It is from our-asws speech: ‘Allah-azwj Argues over the creatures by that which He-azwj has Given them, and Caused them to understand. Then He-azwj Sent Rasoolssa to them, and Revealed unto him-as the Book, and Commanded therein and Prohibited. And Allah-azwj Commanded therein for the Salaat (Praying), and the Soam (Fasting). So Rasool-Allah-saww announced about the Salaat, so he-saww said: ‘I let you sleep and I-saww wake you up’. So when they stand and Pray, they know when that strikes them (becomes obligatory), how they should be doing it. It is not as you are saying, ‘If he moves away from it, he perishes’. Similar to that are the Fasts: I-saww cause you to be sick and I-saww cause you to be healthy, so when you are recovered, so fulfil it”.

ثم قال أبو عبد الله (ع): وكذلك إذا نظرت في جميع الاشياء لم تجد أحدا في ضيق ولم تجد أحدا إلا ولله عليه حجة وله فيه المشية، ولا أقول: إنهم ما شاءوا صنعوا،

Then Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘And similar to that, when you look into all the things, you will not find one in which there is narrowness (lack of information), and you will not find one except that for Allah-azwj there is an Argument, and that there is the Decision in it. And I-asws am not saying that they can do whatever they wish to do so’.

ثم قال: إن الله يهدى ويضل، وقال: ما أمروا إلا بدون سعتهم، وكل شئ أمر الناس به فهم يسعون له، وكل شئ لا يسعون له فموضوع عنهم، ولكن الناس لا خير فيهم،

Then he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Guides and Lets to stray, and Allah-azwj Said: “I-azwj do not Command except it is within the capacity (of the individual)”. And every thing which the people have been Ordered by, so they have the capacity for it, and every thing which they do not have the capacity for, so it has been Placed (away) from them. But, (in it for) the people, there is no good in them.

ثم تلا ” ليس على الضعفاء ولا على المرضى ولا على الذين لا يجدون ما ينفقون حرج ولا على الذين إذا ما أتوك لتحملهم “، قال: فوضع عنهم لانهم لا يجدون ما ينفقون وقال: ” إنما السبيل على الذين يستأذنونك وهم أغنياء رضوا بأن يكونوا مع الخوالف وطبع على قلوبهم فهم لا يفقهون “.

Then he-asws recited [9:91] It is not upon the weak, nor in the sick, nor in those who do not find what they should spend, to go forth, so long as they are sincere to Allah and His Rasool; there is no way (to blame) [9:92] Nor upon those who when they came to you that you might carry them. He-asws said: ‘So He-azwj Placed (the burden away) from them, because they could not find what they should be spending. And Said [9:93] The way (to blame) is only against those who ask permission of you though they are rich; they have chosen to be with those who remained behind, and Allah has Set a seal upon their hearts so they do not know’.[753]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and High [8:24] and know that Allah Intervenes between a person and his heart. So he-asws said: ‘Intervenes to make him realise the difference between the false and the true’.[754]

From him, from from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Hamran, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said to me: ‘O Ziyad! Beware of the disputes! They inherit the doubt, and frustrate the deeds, and deteriorate its doer, and perhaps you might say something for which you would not be Forgiven for’.

O Ziyad! With regards to the past, there were a people who left the Knowledge what they had been Authorised with, and sought knowledge without restraint, to the extent that they ended up with their talking about Allah-azwj. So they were confused. And if the man was called from in front of him, so he answered from behind him, and he was called from behind him, so he answered from in front of him’.[759]

قيل: وكيف عرفك نفسه؟ – فقال: لا تشبهه صورة ولا يحس بالحواس، ولا يقاس بالقياس، قريب في بعده، بعيد في قربه، فوق كل شئ ولا يقال: شئ تحته، وتحت كل شئ ولا يقال: شئ فوقه، أمام كل شئ ولا يقال: له أمام، داخل في الاشياء لا كشئ في شئ داخل، وخارج من الاشياء لا كشئ من شئ خارج، فسبحان من هو هكذا ولا هكذا غيره، ولكل شئ مبتدأ.

It was said, ‘And how do you-asws recognise yourself-asws?’ So he-asws said: ‘Neither does an image resemble Him-azwj, nor can He-azwj be felt by the senses, nor can He-azwj be analogised by the analogies. He-azwj is near in His-azwj remoteness, and remote in His-azwj nearness.

He-asws is higher than every thing, and it cannot be said, ‘Something is under Him-azwj’, and everything is underneath; nor can it be said, ‘Something is above Him-azwj, and everything is in front of Him-azwj; nor can it be said, ‘For Him-azwj there is a front; He-azwj is inside the things, not like the thing goes inside a thing. And He-azwj is outside the things, not like the thing being outside from a thing. Who can be like this, and no one is like this apart from Him-azwj. And for everything there is an origin’.[766]

We have come to ask you-asws (certain questions)’. He-asws said: ‘Ask, O Jew, about whatever comes to you’.

قال: أسألك عن ربنا، متى كان؟ – فقال: كان بلا كينونة: كان لم يزل بلا كم وبلا كيف، كان ليس له قبل، هو القبل، هو بلا قبل ولا غاية ولا منتهى غاية، ولا غاية إليها، انقطعت عنه الغايات فهو غاية كل غاية، قال: فقال رأس الحالوت لليهود مروا فهذا أعلم مما يقال فيه.

It was said, ‘I ask you-asws about our Lord-azwj, (since) when was He-azwj?’ So he-asws said: ‘I ask you about our Lord, when was He-azwj (came into being)?’ So he said: ‘Allah-azwj has always been, without having come into being. He-azwj has never ceased to Be, without quantity or without ‘how’. There is no ‘before’ for Him-azwj, and He-azwj was the ‘before; He-azwj is without ‘before’, no beginning nor an end to a beginning, nor is there a beginning for Him-azwj. The beginnings are all cut-off from Him, so He-azwj is the Beginning of all beginnings’. So the head of the Catholics said to the Jews, ‘Let us return, for this man-asws is more knowing that what is said about him-asws’.[767]

And Ali Bin Al Hakam reported, from Hisham Bin Saalim, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly,

(It has been narrated) from Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘I-asws wonder at the arrogant boaster who was a seed yesterday and tomorrow he will be a corpse. And the wonder of all the wonders to the one who doubts in Allah-azwj and he sees the creation. And the wonder of all the wonders to the one who denies the death and he sees the one who dies every day and night. And the wonder of all the wonders to the one who denies the next growth (in the Hereafter) and he sees the first one. And the wonder of all the wonders to the one who works for the house of mortality and neglects the House of the remaining (Eternal)’.[779]

25 – باب العلم

Chapter 25 – The knowledge

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن ربعي بن عبد الله، عن الفضيل بن يسار قال: سمعت أبا جعفر (ع) يقول: العلم علمان فعلم عند الله مخزون، لم يطلع عليه أحدا من خلقه، وعلم علمه ملائكته ورسله، فأما ما علم ملائكته ورسله فانه سيكون ولا يكذب نفسه ولا ملائكته ولا رسله، وعلم عنده مخزون يقدم فيه ما يشاء، ويؤخر ما يشاء. ويثبت ما يشاء.

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e Bin Abdullah, from Al Fazeyl Bin Yasaar who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘The knowledge are two (types) – So there is a Knowledge which is in the Presence of Allah-azwj, Treasured. He-azwj does not Notify it to anyone from His-azwj creatures. And a Knowledge which He-azwj Taught to His-azwj Angels, and His-azwj Rasools-as. So as for what He-azwj Taught His-azwj Angels and His-azwj Rasools-as, neither does He-azwj Himself-saww Deny it, not His-azwj Angels, Nor His-azwj Rasools-as. And the Knowledge which is Treasured with Him-azwj, He-azwj Brings forward regarding it whatsoever He-azwj so Desires to, and Delays whatever He-azwj so Desires to, and Affirms whatever He-azwj so Desires to’.[780]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد، عن ربعي، عن فضيل قال: سمعت أبا جعفر (ع) يقول: من الامور أمور موقوفة عند الله، يقدم منها ما يشاء ويؤخر منها ما يشاء.

From him, from his father, from Hamaad, from Rabi’e, from Fazeyl who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘From the Commands are Commands which are Suspended in the Presence of Allah-azwj. He-azwj Brings forwards Whatever He-azwj so Desires to, and Delays whatever He-azwj so Desires to’.[781]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن منصور بن حازم قال قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): أرايت ما كان وما هو كائن إلى يوم القيامة أليس كان في علم الله قبل أن يخلق السماوات والارض؟ – قال: نعم.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Haazim who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What do you-asws think (about) what was and what will be happening up to the Day of Judgement. Was it not in the Knowledge of Allah-azwj before He-azwj even Created the skies and the earth?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes (it was)’.[782]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن إسماعيل بن ابراهيم ومحمد بن أبي عمير، عن عبد الله بن بكير، عن زرارة، عن حمران قال: سألت أبا جعفر (ع) عن قول الله عزوجل: ” هل أتى على الانسان حين من الدهر لم يكن شيئا مذكورا ” فقال: ” كان شيئا ولم يكن مذكورا ” قلت: فقوله: ” أو لم ير الانسان أنا خلقناه من قبل ولم يك شيئا “؟ – قال: لم يكن شيئا في كتاب ولا علم.

From, from his father, from Ismail Bin Ibrahim and Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Abdullah Bin Bakeyr, from Zarara, from Hamran who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [76:1] There surely came over the human being a period of time when he had not become a thing worthy of mention. So he-asws said: ‘He was a thing and was not being mentioned’. I said, ‘So His-azwj Words [19:67] Or does not the human being remember that We Created him before, when he was nothing?’ He-asws said: ‘He was not a thing (mentioned) in the Book nor Knowledge’.[783]

26 – باب الارادة والمشية

Chapter 26 – The Will and the Decision

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم قال: قال أبو – عبد الله (ع): إن الله إذا أراد شيئا قدره، فإذا قدره قضاه، فإذا قضاه أمضاه.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Saalim who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Whenever Allah-azwj Intends something, Ordains it. So when He-azwj Ordains it, Fulfils it. So when He-azwj Ordains it, it comes into being’.[784]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن فضالة بن أيوب، عن محمد بن عمارة، عن حريز بن عبد الله وعبد الله بن مسكان قالا: قال أبو جعفر (ع): لا يكون شئ في الارض ولا في السماء إلا بهذه الخصال السبعة، بمشية، وإرادة، وقدر، وقضاء، واذن، وكتاب، وأجل، فمن زعم أنه يقدر على نقص واحدة منهن فقد كفر.

From him, from his father, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Muhammad Bin amaarat, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah Bin Muskaan who both said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Nothing comes into being in the earth or in the sky except by these seven qualities – by Desire, and Will, and Power, and Ordainment, and Permission, and Writing, and Term. So the one who claims that he has power of reducing one of these, so he has blasphemed’.[785]

عنه، عن أبيه عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبي الحسن الرضا (ع) قال: قلت: لا يكون إلا ما شاء الله وأراد وقضى؟ – فقال: لا يكون إلا ما شاء الله وأراد وقدر وقضى، (قال( قلت: فما معنى ” شاء “؟ – قال: ابتداء الفعل، قلت: فما معنى ” أراد “؟ – قال: الثبوت عليه، قلت: فما معنى ” قدر “؟ – قال: تقدير الشئ من طوله وعرضه، قلت: فما معنى ” قضى “؟ – قال: إذا قضاه أمضاه، فذلك الذي لا مرد له. ورواه عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سليمان الديلمى، عن علي بن إبراهيم.

From him, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, said, ‘I said, Nothing happens except what Allah-azwj so Desires, and Wills, and Ordains?’ So he-asws said: ‘Nothing happens except what Allah-azwj so Desires, and Wills, and Pre-determines and Ordains’. I said, ‘What is the meaning of ‘Desire’?’ He-asws said: ‘Beginning of a thing’. I said, ‘So what is the meaning of ‘Will’?’ He-asws said: ‘Permanence of it’. I said, ‘So what is the meaning of ‘Pre-determination?’ He-asws said: ‘The Measurement of the thing, from its length and its width’. I said, ‘What is the meaning of ‘Ordain’?’ He-asws said: ‘Its Ordainment is its fulfilment, so that is there is not a reason for it’.[786]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن محمد بن إسحاق قال: قال أبو الحسن (ع) ليونس مولى علي بن يقطين: يا يونس لا تتكلم بالقدر، قال: إني لا أتكلم بالقدر، ولكني أقول: لا يكون إلا ما أراد الله وشاء وقضى وقدر، فقال: ليس هكذا. أقول، ولكني أقول: لا يكون إلا ما شاء الله وأراد وقدر وقضى،

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws said to Yunus, a slave of Ali Bin Yaqteen: ‘O Yunus! Do not speak regarding the pre-determination’. He said, ‘I do not speak by the pre-determination, but I am saying, ‘Nothing comes into being except what Allah-azwj Wills, and Desires, and Ordains, and Pre-determines’. So he-asws said: ‘It is not like this. But, I-asws am saying: ‘Nothing comes into being except what Allah-azwj so Desires, and Wills, and Pre-determines, and Ordains’.

ثم قال: أتدرى ما المشية؟ – فقال: لا، فقال: همه بالشئ، أو تدري ما أراد؟ – قال: لا، قال: إتمامه على المشية، فقال: أو تدرى ما قدر؟ – قال: لا، قال: هو الهندسة من الطول والعرض والبقاء،

Then the Imam-asws asked: ‘Do you know what is the Desire?’ So he said, ‘No’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘His-asws main Concern with the thing. Or, do you know what is the Will?’ He said, ‘No’. The Imam-asws said: ‘Completion upon the Decision’. So the Imam-asws asked: ‘Or, do you know what is Pre-determination?’ He said, ‘No’. The Imam-asws said: ‘It is the geometry (measurement) of the length, and the width, and the remaining (term)’.

ثم قال: إن الله إذا شاء شيئا أراده، وإذا أراده قدره، وإذا قدره قضاه، وإذا قضاه أمضاه،

Then he-asws said: ‘Whenever Allah-azwj Desires a thing, Wills it. And when He-azwj Wills it, Pre-determines it. And when He-azwj Pre-determines it, Ordains it. And when He-azwj Ordains it, it comes into being.

يا يونس إن القدرية لم يقولوا بقول الله: ” وما تشاؤن إلا أن يشاء الله “، ولا قالوا بقول أهل الجنة: ” الحمدلله الذي هدانا لهذا وما كنا لنهتدي لو لا أن هدانا الله “، ولا قالوا بقول أهل النار: ” ربنا غلبت علينا شقوتنا وكنا قوما ضالين “، ولا قالوا بقول إبليس: ” رب بما أغويتني “، ولا قالوا بقول نوح: ” ولا ينفعكم نصحي إن أردت أن أنصح لكم إن كان الله يريد أن يغويكم هو ربكم وإليه ترجعون “.

O Yunus! The Qadiriyya are not speaking by the Words of Allah [76:30] And you do not desire except what Allah Desires; nor are they speaking by the words of the inhabitants of the Paradise [7:42] All Praise is due to Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have found the Way had it not been that Allah had Guided us; nor are they speaking by the words of the inhabitants of the Fire [23:106] They shall say: O our Lord! Our adversity overcame us and we were an erroneous people; nor are they speaking by the words of Iblees-la [15:39] He said: Lord! With what You Sent me astray; nor are they speaking by the words of Noah [11:34] And my advice will not profit you if I wanted to advise you if Allah intended that He should Leave you to go astray; He is your Lord, and to Him you shall be returning’.

ثم قال: قال الله: يابن آدم بمشيتي كنت أنت الذي تشاء، وبقوتي أديت إلي فرائضي، وبنعمتي قويت على معصيتى، وجعلتك سمعيا بصيرا قويا، فما أصابك من حسنة فمني، وما أصابك من سيئة فمن نفسك، وذلك لاني لا أسأل عما أفعل وهم يسألون ” ثم قال: قد نظمت لك كل شئ تريده.

Then he-asws said:’ Allah-azwj Says: “O son of Adam-as! It is by My-azwj Desire that you desire, and it is by My-azwj Strength that you fulfil to My-azwj Obligations, and it is by My-azwj Favour that you have strength upon disobeying Me-azwj. And I-azwj have Made you as hearing, seeing, strong. So whatever hits you from good, so it is from Me-azwj, and what hits you from evil, so it is from yourself, and that is because I-azwj cannot be questioned about what I-azwj do, and they are to be questioned”. Then the Imam-asws said: ‘He-azwj has Organised for you every thing you want’.[787]

عنه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن هشام وعبيد بن زرارة، عن حمران، عن أبي – عبد الله (ع) قال: كنت أنا والطيار جالسين فجاء أبو بصير فافرجنا له، فجلس بيني وبين الطيار، فقال: في أي شئ أنتم؟ – فقلنا: كنا في الارادة والمشية والمحبة، فقال: أبو بصير: قلت لابي – عبد الله (ع): شاء لهم الكفر وأراده؟ – فقال: نعم، قلت: فأحب ذلك ورضيه؟ – فقال: لا، قلت شاء وأراد ما لم يحب ولم يرض؟ – قال: هكذا أخرج إلينا.

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said, ‘I and Al-Tayyar were seated, so Abu Baseer came up. So I made space for him, and he seated himself in between me and Al-Tayyar. So he-asws said: ‘Which thing are you in (discussion)?’ So we said, ‘We are in the Will, and the Desire, and the Love’. So Abu Baseer said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Shall I point out to the disbelief and the Will?’ So he-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So is that His-azwj Love and His Pleasure?’ So He-asws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘Does He-azwj Desire what He does not Love or is not Happy with?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘This is how it has come out to us-asws’.[788]

I have become convinced’.

(فقال:) فعجب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من قوله وقال له: إن لكل شئ حقيقة، فما حقيقة يقينك؟ – قال: إن يقيني يا رسول الله هو أحزنني وأسهر ليلى و أظمأ هو اجرى، فعزفت نفسي عن الدنيا وما فيها حتى كأني أنظر إلى عرش ربي وقد نصب للحساب وحشر الخلائق لذلك وأنا فيهم، وكأني أنظر إلى أهل الجنة يتنعمون فيها ويتعارفون، على الارائك متكئين، وكأني أنظر إلى أهل النار فيها معذبين يصطرخون، وكأني أسمع الآن زفير النار ينقرون في مسامعي،

Rasool-Allah-saww was astounded from his speech, and said to him: ‘For every thing is a reality, so what is the reality of your ‘Yaqeen’ conviction?’ He said, ‘’My conviction, O Rasool-Allah-saww, it grieves me, and I stay awake during my nights, and thirst is my Recompense, so I abstain from the world and whatever is in it to the extent that it is as if I am looking at the Throne of my Lord-azwj, and the Reckoning has been Established, and the creatures have been Gathered for that, and I am among them. And it is as if I am looking at the people of the Paradise being Favoured therein and recognising them, reclining upon the couches. And it is as if I am looking at the people of the Fire, tormented, screaming, and it is as if I can hear right now the exhalation of the Fire ringing in my ears’.

قال: فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لاصحابه: هذا عبد نور الله قلبه للايمان، ثم قال، الزم ما أنت عليه. (قال:) فقال له الشاب: يا رسول الله ادع الله لي أن أرزق الشهادة معك، فدعا له رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بذلك، فلم يلبث أن خرج في بعض غزوات النبي فاستشهد بعد تسعة نفر وكان هو العاشر.

So Rasool-Allah-saww said to his-saww companions: ‘This is a servant, ‘Noor’ the Light of Allah-azwj is in his heart for the Imaan (faith)’. Then Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Necessitate what you are upon’. So the youth said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Supplicate to Allah-azwj for me that I should receive the Martyrdom’. So Rasool-Allah-saww supplicated for him with that. So it was not long before he went out in one of the military expeditions of the Prophet-saww, so he was Martyred after nine people, and he was the tenth’.[814]

And the owner of that half Dirham came over (one day) and wanted it. So I handed over to him eighteen thousand Dirhams. So You-azwj Know that I did it out of fear from You-azwj, so Raise this rock from us’. He-saww said: ‘So it moved a little to the extent that they could see each other’.

ثم إن الآخر قال: ” اللهم إن كنت تعلم أن أبي وأمي كانا نائمين فأتيتهما بقعب من لبن فخفت أن أضعه أن تمج فيه هامة وكرهت أن أوقظهما من نومهما فيشق ذلك عليهما، فلم أزل كذلك حتى استيقظا وشربا، اللهم فان كنت تعلم أني كنت فعلت ذلك ابتغاء وجهك فارفع عنا هذه الصخرة ” فانفرجت لهم حتى سهل لهم طريقهم

I was afraid to place it and disliked waking them up from their sleep, for that would be grievous upon the two of them. So I did not cease to stand like that until they woke up and drank. Our Allah-azwj! So You-azwj Know that I did that seeking Your-azwj Face, therefore Raise this rock from us’. So it moved for them to the extent that their way was easy for them’.

O Moala! The dissimulation is my-asws Religion and the Religion of my-asws forefathers. And there is no Religion for the one who has no dissimulation to him. O Moala!

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from the one who narrated it, from Moala Bin Khunays who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘There is none from the matters in which two (people) differed, except that its origin is in the Book of Allah-azwj, but the intellects of the men cannot reach it’.[904]

عنه، عن أبيه، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) في رسالة ” وأما ما سألت من القرآن فذلك أيضا من خطراتك المتفاوتة المختلفة، لان القرآن ليس على ما ذكرت، وكل ما سمعت فمعناه غير ما ذهبت إليه، وإنما القرآن أمثال لقوم يعلمون دون غيرهم، ولقوم يتلونه حق تلاوته، وهم الذين يؤمنون به ويعرفونه، فأما غيرهم فما أشد إشكاله عليهم وأبعده من مذاهب قلوبهم، ولذلك قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ليس شئ بأبعد من قلوب الرجال من تفسير القرآن، وفي ذلك تحير الخلائق أجمعون إلا من شاء الله،

From him, from his father, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws in a letter, said: ‘And as for what you have asked from the Quran, so that as well is from your wavering, varying, different, because the Quran is not upon what you have mentioned. And everything is heard, its Meaning is other than what is followed. But rather, the Quran is for a people-asws who know it exclusive to other, and a people-asws who recite it as it deserves to be recited, and they-asws are the ones who believe in it and understand it. So, as for the others, so what is more intensely difficult for them and more remote from where their hearts are going? And it is due to that, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is nothing more remote from the hearts of the men than the interpretation of the Quran’. And in that, is the confusion of all the people together, except for the one whom Allah-azwj so Desires.

وإنما أراد الله بتعميته في ذلك أن ينتهوا إلى بابه وصراطه وأن يعبدوه وينتهوا في قوله إلى طاعة القوام بكتابه والناطقين عن أمره وأن يستنطقوا ما احتاجوا إليه من ذلك عنهم لا عن أنفسهم

But rather, Allah-azwj Intended to Encrypt regarding that, so that you would end up to His-azwj Door, and His-azwj Way, and if you worship Him-azwj, you will end up with regards to His-azwj Words, to the obedience to the people-asws by His-azwj Book, and the speakers from His-azwj Command, and that they-asws would be speaking what they are needy from that, from Him-azwj and not from themselves-asws.

ثم قال: ” ولو ردوه إلى الرسول وإلى أولى الامر منهم لعلمه الذين يستنبطونه منهم ” فأما غيرهم فليس يعلم ذلك أبدا ولا يوجد، وقد علمت أنه لا يستقيم أن يكون الخلق كلهم ولاة الامر إذ لا يجدون من يأتمرون عليه، ولا من يبلغونه أمر الله ونهيه، فجعل الله الولاة خواص ليقتدى بهم من لم يخصصهم بذلك فافهم ذلك إن شاء الله،

Then he said: ‘[4:83] and if they had referred it to the Rasool and to those in authority among them, those among them who can search out the Knowledge of it would have known it. So, as for the others, so they will not know that nor find it, ever. And you should understand that it is not correct for all of the people to become ‘those in authority’ (Wali Al-Amr), when they cannot find the one that can be obeyed, nor one to whom the Commands of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Prohibition have not reached. Thus, Allah-azwj has Made the authority special in order to Guide (people) by them-asws the ones who have not been specialised by that. So I-asws (hope) you will understand that, if Allah-azwj so Desires it.

وإياك وإياك وتلاوة القرآن برأيك، فان الناس غير مشتركين في علمه كاشتراكهم فيما سواه من الامور، ولا قادرين عليه ولا على تأويله إلا من حده وبابه الذي جعله الله له فافهم إن شاء الله واطلب الامر من مكانه تجده إن شاء الله.

And beware, and beware of reciting the Quran by your opinion, for the people are not participants in His-azwj Knowledge like they are participants among themselves with regards to the matters, nor are they able to, over its explanation except from its Limit, and its Door which Allah-azwj has Made for it. So, I-asws (hope) you will understand that, if Allah-azwj so Desires it, and seek the matter from its (rightful) place. You will find it, if Allah-azwj so Desires it’.[905]

عنه، قال: حدثنى مرسلا قال: قال أبو جعفر (ع): إن القرآن شاهد الحق، ومحمد صلى الله عليه وآله لذلك مستقر، فمن اتخذ سببا إلى سبب الله لم يقطع به الاسباب، ومن اتخذ غير ذلك سببا مع كل كذاب فاتقوا الله، فان الله قد أوضح لكم أعلام دينكم ومنار هداكم، فلا تأخذوا أمركم بالوهن ولا أديانكم هزؤا، فتدحض أعمالكم وتخبطوا سبيلكم ولا تكونوا أطعتم الله ربكم،

From him, narrated by an unbroken chain, said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘The Quran bears testimony to the Truth, and Muhammad-saww was firmly upon that. So the one who takes a motive to a Motive of Allah-azwj, his motive would not be cut off, and the one who takes to a motive other than that – with every liar, so he should fear Allah-azwj.

Allah-azwj has Clarified for you the tools of your Religion, and Minarets of your Guidance. Therefore, do not take your matter with the weakness, nor your Religion as a mockery, for your works would be refuted, and your way would become confused, and you would not become obedient to Allah-azwj, your Lord-azwj.

اثبتوا على القرآن الثابت، وكونوا في حزب الله تهتدوا، ولا تكونوا في حزب الشيطان فتضلوا، يهلك من هلك ويحيى من حي، وعلى الله البيان، بين لكم فاهتدوا، وبقول العلماء فانتفعوا، والسبيل في ذلك إلى الله، فمن يهده الله فهو المهتدى، ومن يضلل الله فلن تجد له وليا مرشدا.

Be steadfast upon the Quran by the steadfastness, and become among the party of Allah-azwj, you would be Guided, and do not become among the party of the Satan-la, for you would stray. Destroyed was the one who was destroyed, and revived was the one who was revived, and upon Allah-azwj is the explanation, Explaining to you. So be Guided by the words of the knowledgeable ones-asws, and benefit, and in that is the Way to Allah-azwj. Whoever Allah-azwj Guides, so he is Guided, and the one whom Allah-azwj Lets to stray, so he will never find for himself any Guardian-asws, a Guide-asws’.[906]

عنه، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن عبد الله بن سنان، عن أبي الجارود، قال: قال أبو جعفر (ع): إذا حدثتكم بشئ فسئلوني عنه من كتاب الله

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abu Al Jaroud who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Whenever I-asws narrate to you with anything, so ask me-asws about it from the Book of Allah-azwj’.

ثم قال في بعض حديثه: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله نهى عن القيل والقال و فساد المال وفساد الارض وكثرة السؤال، قالوا: يابن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وأين هذا من كتاب الله؟ – قال: إن الله يقول في كتابه: ” لا خير في كثير من نجواهم إلا من أمر بصدقة، أو معروف، أو إصلاح بين الناس. ” وقال: ” ولا تؤتوا السفهآء أموالكم التي جعل الله لكم قياما، ولا تسألوا عن أشياء إن تبد لكم تسؤكم “.

Then he-asws said in one of his-asws Hadeeth: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww had forbidden from the gossip, and the squandering of the wealth, and mischief in the earth, and the frequency of questioning’. They said, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! And where is this in the Book of Allah-azwj?’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj is Saying in His-azwj Book [4:114] There is no good in most of their secret counsels except (in his) who enjoins charity or goodness or reconciliation between people. And Said [4:5] And do not give away your property to the foolish which Allah has made for you a (means of) support; [5:101] Do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you’.[907]

عنه، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن سماعة بن مهران، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع) قول الله: ” فاصبر كما صبر أولوا العزم من الرسل. ” فقال: نوح، وابراهيم، وموسى، و عيسى، ومحمد، (صلى الله عليه وآله وعلى جميع أنبياءه ورسله) قلت: كيف صاروا أولى العزم؟ –

From him, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mahran who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘(What about) the Words of Allah-azwj [46:35] Therefore bear up patiently as did the Determined Ones from the Rasools bear up’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘Noah-as, and Ibrahim-as, and Musa-as, and Isa-as, and Muhammad-saww’. I said, ‘How did they-as come to be ‘the Determined ones’?’

قال: لان نوحا بعث بكتاب وشريعة، فكل من جاء بعد نوح (ع) أخذ بكتابه وشريعته ومنهاجه، حتى جاء إبراهيم (ع) بالصحف، وبعزيمة ترك كتاب نوح لا كفرا به، وكل نبي جاء بعد ابراهيم جاء بشريعة إبراهيم، ومنهاجه، و بالصحف، حتى جاء موسى (ع) بالتوراة وشريعته، ومنهاجه، وبعزيمة ترك الصحف،

The Imam-asws said: ‘Because Noah-as was Sent with a Book and a Law. So, everyone who came after Noah-as took by his-as Book, and his-as Law, and his-as Manifesto, until Ibrahim-as came with the Parchment with determination by it, left the Book of Noah-as without disbelieving in it. And every Prophet-as who came after Ibrahim, did so with the Law of Ibrahim-as, and his-as Manifesto, and his-as Parchments, until Musa-as came up with the Torah, and his-as Law, and his-as Manifesto, and with determination by it, left the Parchment.

فكل نبي جاء بعد موسى، أخذ بالتوراة وشريعته، ومنهاجه، حتى جاء المسيح (ع) بالانجيل، وبعزيمة ترك شريعة موسى، ومنهاجه، حتى جاء محمد صلى الله عليه وآله فجاء بالقرآن، وشريعته، ومنهاجه، فحلاله حلال إلى يوم القيامة، وحرامه حرام إلى يوم القيامة، فهؤلاء أولوا العزم من الرسل.

So, every Prophet-as who came after Musa-as, took by the Torah, and his-as Law, and his-as Program, until the Messiah-as came with the Evangel, and by the determination with it, left the Law of Musa-as, and his-as Manifesto, until Muhammad-saww came up. So he-saww came with the Quran, and his-saww Law, and his-as Manifesto. Thus, his-saww Permissible is Permissible until the Day of Judgement, and his-saww Prohibition is Prohibited until the Day of Judgement. So these are the Determined ones from the Rasools-as’.[908]

عنه، عن محمد بن إسماعيل بن بزيع، عن أبي إسماعيل السراج، عن خثيمة بن عبد الرحمن الجعفي، قال: حدثنى أبو لبيد البحراني المراء الهجرين قال: جاء رجل إلى أبي جعفر (ع) بمكة، فسأله عن مسائل فأجابه فيها، ثم قال له الرجل،: أنت الذي تزعم أنه ليس شئ من كتاب الله إلا معروف؟ – قال: ليس هكذا قلت: ولكن ليس شئ من كتاب الله، إلا عليه دليل ناطق عن الله في كتابه مما لا يعلمه الناس،

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazi’e, from Abu Ismail Al Siraj, from Khaseyman Bin Abdul Rahman Al Ju’fy, from Abu Labeed Al Bahrany Al Mara’a Al Hajreyn who said,

‘A man came up to Abu Ja’far-asws at Makkah. So he asked him-asws certain questions, and he-asws answered these. Then the man said to him-asws, ‘Are you the one-asws who claims that there is nothing from the Book of Allah-azwj except that it is well known?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘I-asws did not say it like this. But, there is nothing from the Book of Allah-azwj, except that there is a speaking evidence from Allah-azwj in His-azwj Book, from what the people do not know’.

قال: فأنت الذي تزعم أنه ليس من كتاب الله إلا والناس يحتاجون إليه؟ – قال: نعم، ولا حرف واحد، فقال له: فما ” المص “؟ – قال أبو لبيد: فأجابه بجواب نسيته، فخرج الرجل

He said, ‘So you-asws are the one who claims that there is nothing from the Book of Allah-azwj except that they people are needy to it?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Yes, not even one letter’. So he said: ‘And what is [7:1] Alif Lam Meem Suad?’ Abu Labeed said, ‘So the Imam-asws answered him with an answer which I forgot’. The man went out.

فقال لي أبو جعفر (ع): هذا تفسيرها في ظهر القرآن، أفلا أخبرك بتفسيرها في بطن القرآن؟ – قلت: وللقرآن بطن وظهر؟ – فقال: نعم، إن لكتاب الله ظاهرا، وباطنا، ومعاينا، وناسخا ومنسوخا، ومحكما، ومتشابها، وسننا وأمثالا وفصلا ووصلا وأحرفا وتصريفا، فمن زعم أن كتاب الله مبهم فقد هلك وأهلك،

So Abu Ja’far said to me: ‘This is its interpretation in the apparent of the Quran. Shall I-asws inform you of its interpretation in the hidden (Meaning) of the Quran?’ I said, ‘And for the Quran there is a hidden as well as an apparent?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘Yes. For the Book of Allah-azwj, there is an apparent, and a hidden, and an observation, and Abrogating, and Abrogated, and Decisive, and Allegorical, and Sunnahs, and Parables, and Separate, and Linked, and Letters, and its Grammatical. So the one who claims that the Book of Allah-azwj is ambiguous, so he is destroyed and caused (others to be) destroyed’.[909]

From him, from Ali Bin Ismail Al Maysami, from Muhammad Bin Hakeem,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww gave them what made them to be needless by, during his-saww era, and what was sufficient for them from after him-saww – Book of Allah-azwj and the Sunnah of His-azwj Prophet-saww’.[910]

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

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [33:56] Surely Allah and His Angels are Sending Blessings upon the Prophet; O you who believe! Send blessings upon him and submit to him with a (complete) submission. He-asws said: ‘Blessings upon him-saww and the submission to him-saww with regards to everything which he-saww came with’.[912]

From him, from a number of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Sinan,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj [4:65] But no! By your Lord! They do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not find any straitness in their hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entire submission. The Imam-asws said: ‘The submission, and the pleasure, and the satisfaction with his-saww judgement’.[913]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن صفوان بن يحيى وأحمد بن محمد بن أبي نصر، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن عبد الله الكاهلى، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): لو أن قوما عبدوا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأقاموا الصلوة، وآتوا الزكوة، وحجوا البيت، وصاموا شهر رمضان، ثم قالوا لشئ صنعه الله تعالى أو صنعه النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: ألا صنع خلاف الذي صنع، أو وجدوا ذلك في قلوبهم لكانوا بذلك مشركين، ثم تلا هذه الآية ” فلا وربك لا يؤمنون حتى يحكموك فيما شجر بينهم، ثم لا يجدوا في أنفسهم حرجا مما قضيت، ويسلموا تسليما ” ثم قال أبو عبد الله (ع): وعليكم بالتسليم.

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hamaad Bin usman, from Abdullah Al Kahily who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Even if a people were to worship Allah-azwj as One with no associates to Him-azwj, and establish ‘Salaat’ (the Prayer), and give the Zakat, and perform the Hajj of the House (Kabah), and Fast the Month of Ramazan, then say for a thing which Allah-azwj the High has Done, or the Prophet-saww has done, ‘I shall do different to it’, or if that were to be found in their hearts, they would become, due to that, Polytheists’. Then the Imam-asws recited this Verse [4:65] But no! By your Lord! They do not believe (in reality) until they make you a judge of that which has become a matter of disagreement among them, and then do not find any straitness in their hearts as to what you have decided and submit with entire submission’. Then Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘It is on you to be with the submission’.[914]

قال: فخرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فقال: ماذا يا سعد:؟ – فقال سعد: قالوا لي: لو وجدت على بطن امرأتك رجلا ما كنت تفعل به؟ – فقلت: كنت أضربه بالسيف، فقال يا سعد، فكيف بالشهود الاربعة؟ – فقال: يا رسول الله، بعد رأى عينى وعلم الله انه قد فعل؟ – فقال: نعم، لان الله قد جعل لكل شئ حدا، وجعل على من تعدى الحد حدا.

The Imam-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww came out and said: ‘What is the matter, O Sa’ad?’ So he said, ‘They said to me, ‘If you were to find a man upon the belly of your wife, what would you do with him?’ So I said, ‘I would have struck him with the sword’. So Rasool Allah-saww said: ‘O Sa’ad! So how would you have got the four witnesses?’ So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! After seeing him with my own eyes, and Allah-azwj Knows that he has done it?’ So Rasool Allah-saww said: ‘Yes, because Allah-azwj has Made a Limit for everything, and Made upon the one who exceeds the Limit, a Limit’.[931]

عنه، عن محمد بن إسماعيل بن بزيع، عن أبي إسماعيل السراج، عن خثيمة بن عبد الرحمن الجعفي، قال: حدثنى أبو الوليد النجراني، عن أبي جعفر (ع) أنه أتاه رجل بمكة فقال له: يا محمد بن علي، أنت الذي تزعم أنه ليس شئ إلا وله حد؟ – فقال أبو جعفر (ع): نعم، أنا أقول: إنه ليس شئ مما خلق الله صغيرا ولا كبيرا إلا وقد جعل الله له حدا، إذا جوز به ذلك الحد فقد تعدى حد الله فيه،

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bi Bazi’e, from Abu Ismail Al Saraaj, from Khasheyma Bin Abdul Rahman Al Ju’fy, from Abu Al Waleed Al Najrany,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws, said, ‘A man came to him-asws at Makkah and said to him-asws, ‘O Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws! You-asws are the one who claims that there is nothing except that there is a Limit for it?’ So Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Yes. I-asws am saying that there is nothing from what Allah-azwj has Created, be it small or big, except that Allah-azwj has Made a Limit for it. When that Limit is exceeded, the Limit of Allah-azwj would have been transgressed by it’.

قال: فما حد مائدتك هذه؟ – قال: تذكر اسم الله حين توضع، وتحمد الله حين ترفع، وتقم ما تحتها، قال: فما حد كوزك هذا؟ – قال: لا تشرب من موضع أذنه ولا من موضع كسره فانه مقعد الشيطان، وإذا وضعته على فيك فاذكر اسم الله، وإذا راءفعته عن فيك فاحمد الله وتنفس فيه ثلاثة أنفاس، فان النفس الواحد يكره.

He said, ‘So what is the Limit of this food of yours-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘You should mention the Name of Allah-azwj when you place it, and you should Praise Allah-azwj when you raise it, and what you set up beneath it’. He said, ‘So what is the Limit of this pitcher of yours-asws?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Do not drink from the place of its ear (handle) and the place of its seat, for it is the sitting place of the Satan-la. And when you place it upon your mouth, so mention the Name of Allah-azwj, and when you raise it from your mouth, so Praise Allah-azwj, and breath in it three breathings (drink it in three gulps), for the one breathing (gulping) is abhorred’.[932]

عنه، عن عمرو بن عثمان، عن علي بن الحسين بن رباط، عن أبي مخلد، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: قال قوم من الصحابة لسعد بن عبادة: ما كنت صانعا برجل لو وجدته على بطن امرأتك؟ – قال: كنت والله ضاربا رقبته بالسيف، قال: فخرج النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فقال: من هذا الذي كنت ضاربه بالسيف يا سعد؟ – فأخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وآله بخبرهم وما قال سعد، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: يا سعد، فأين الاربعة الشهداء الذين قال الله؟! فقال: يا رسول الله، مع رأى عينى وعلم الله فيه أنه قد فعل؟ – فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: والله يا سعد بعد رأى عينك وعلم الله، إن الله قد جعل لكل شئ حدا، وجعل على من تعدى حدا من حدود الله حدا، وجعل ما دون الاربعة الشهداء مستورا عن المسلمين.

From him, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Bin Rabaat, from Abu Makhlad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘A group of companions said to Sa’ad Bin Abada, ‘What would you have done with a man if you were to find him upon the belly of your wife?’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj, I would have struck his neck with the sword’. So the Prophet-saww came out and said, ‘Who is the one whom you would be striking with the sword, O sa’ad?’ So he informed the Prophet-saww with their news and what Sa’ad said. So the Prophet-saww said: ‘O Sa’ad! So where are the four witnesses whom Allah-azwj is Speaking about?’ So he said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! After having seen it with my own eyes, and Allah-azwj Knows with regards to it that he has done it?’ So the Prophet-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj, O Sa’ad! After your eyes having seen it and Allah-azwj having Known it. Surely, Allah-azwj has Made a Limit for everything, and Made a Limit for the one who exceeds a Limit from the Limits of Allah-azwj, and Made what is besides the four witnesses, a veil for the Muslims’.[933]

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj [9:115] It was not for Allah that He should Lead a people astray after He has Guided them; until He Clarifies to them what they should guard against?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Until He-azwj Makes them understand what Pleases Him-azwj and what Angers Him-azwj’.

وقال: ” فألهمها فجورها وتقواها “؟ قال: بين لها ما تأتي وما تترك،

And Said [91:8] Then He inspired (soul) it to understand what is right and wrong for it?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘And Explained for it (soul) what it would come with and what it should neglect’.

وقال: ” إنا هديناه السبيل إما شاكرا وإما كفورا “؟ قال: عرفناه فاما آخذ، وإما تارك،

And Said [76:3] Surely, We have shown him the way: he may be thankful or unthankful?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Made him recognise as for what he should take, and what he should leave’.

وسألته عن قول الله: ” يحول بين المرء وقلبه ” قال: يشتهى سمعه، وبصره، ولسانه، ويده، وقلبه، أما انه هو غشى شيئا مما يشتهى فانه لا يأتيه إلا وقلبه منكر، لا يقبل الذي يأتي، يعرف أن الحق غيره،

And I asked him-asws about the Words of Allah-azwj [8:24] and know that Allah Intervenes between a person and his heart. He-asws said: ‘His hearing covets it, and his vision, and his tongue, and his hands, and his heart. But rather, he is overwhelmed by something which he covets, but he does not come to it except that his heart is in denial of it. It does not accept what he come to, recognising that the Truth is something else.

وعن قوله تعالى: ” فأما ثمود فهديناهم فاستحبوا العمى على الهدى “، قال: نهاهم عن قتلهم، فاستحبوا العمى على الهدى وهم يعرفون.

And about the Words of the High [41:17] And as to Samood, We Guided them but they chose blindness over the Guidance. The Imam-asws said: ‘Forbidden them from their killing, but they loved the blindness over the Guidance, although they were recognising it’.[938]

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘O Ayoub! There is no one except that the Truth has emerged to him until he declared it (as such), accepted it or left it. And that is in the Words of Allah-azwj Saying in His-azwj Book [21:18] But, We Cast the Truth against the falsehood, so that it breaks its head, and behold! It vanishes; and woe unto you for what you are describing’.[940]

From him, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Abdul A’la who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Has there been Made to be in the people, a tool by which he can attain the understanding?’ He-asws said: ‘No’. I said, ‘So, is the understanding Assigned?’ He-asws said: ‘No. The explanation is upon Allah-azwj. Allah-azwj does not Burden the servant except to the extent of their abilities, and does not Burden a soul except what He-azwj Gives it’.[941]

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Sayf Bin Umeyra and Abdul Aziz Al Abdy and Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj Refused for the Falsehood to be recognised as Truth. Allah-azwj Refused to Make the Truth to be in the heart of the Believer as Falsehood (so there would be) no doubt in it. And Allah-azwj Refused to Make the Falsehood to be in the heart of the Infidel, the opponent, as Truth (so there would be) no doubt in it. And had He-azwj not Made it to be this like this, the Truth would not have been recognised from the Falsehood’.[943]

So the Imam-asws said, ‘There is none from the things which the son of Adam-as is needy for except that there has flowed with regards to it a Sunnah from Allah-azwj and from His-azwj Rasool-saww. The one who recognised it, recognised it, and the one who denied it, denied it’.

قال الرجل: فما السنة في دخول الخلاء؟ – قال: تذكر الله وتتعوذ من الشيطان، فإذا فرغت قلت: ” الحمد لله على ما أخرج عني من الاذى في يسر منه وعافية “، فقال الرجل: فالانسان يكون علك تلى الحال فلا يصبر حتى ينظر إلى ما خرج منه؟ – فقال: إنه ليس في الارض آدمي إلا ومعه ملكان موكلان به، فإذا كان على تلك الحال ثنيا رقبته ثم قالا: يابن آدم أنظر إلى ما كنت تكدح له والدنيا إلى ما هو صائر.

The man said, ‘So what is the Sunnah with regards to entering the toilet?’ He-asws said: ‘Remember Allah-azwj, and seek Refuge from the Satan-la. So when you are free (from it), say, ‘The Praise is due to Allah-azwj upon Extracting the harm from me easily, and well-being’. So the man said, ‘So perhaps the human being comes to be in a state whereby he cannot be patient until he looks at what comes out from him?’ So The Imam-asws said: There is no person in the earth except that with him are two Angels Allocated with him. So when he is upon that state, they bend his neck, then both say to him: ‘O son of Adam-saww! Look towards what you have been toiling for, and this is the reality of the world (which you long for)’.[949]

42 – باب السعادة والشقاء

Chapter 42 – The Successful and the Cursed

عنه، عن أبيه، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن منصور بن حازم، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: إن الله خلق السعادة والشقاء قبل أن يخلق خلقه، فمن خلقه الله سعيدا لم يبغضه الله أبدا، وإن عمل شرا أبغض عمله ولم يبغضه، وإن كان شقيا لم يحبه الله أبدا، وإن عمل صالحا أحب الله عمله وأبغضه لما يصيره إليه، فإذا أحب الله شيئا لم يبغضه أبدا، وإذا أبغض الله شيئا لم يحبه أبدا.

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Haazim,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj Created the happiness and the misery before He-azwj Created His-azwj creatures. So the one whom Allah-azwj Created as successful, Allah-azwj would not Hate him, ever. And if he were to do an evil deed, He-azwj would Hate his deeds, and would not Hate him. And if he was a cursed one, Allah-azwj would not Love him ever. And if he worked a righteous deed, Allah-azwj would Love his deed, and Hate him for what he had come to it. So when Allah-azwj Loves a thing, He-azwj does not Hate it, ever. And if Allah-azwj Hates a thing, He-azwj does not Love it, ever’.[954]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن الحلبي، عن عبد الله بن مسكان، عن منصور بن حازم، قال قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): أيحب الله العبد ثم يبغضه؟ – أو يبغضه ثم يحبه؟ – فقال: ما تزال تأتيني بشئ، فقلت: هذا دينى وبه أخاصم الناس، فان نهيتني عنه تركته، ثم قلت له: هل أبغض الله محمدا صلى الله عليه وآله على حال من الحالات؟ – فقال: لو أبغضه على حال من الحالات لما الطف له حتى أخرجه من حال إلى حال، فجعله نبيا،

From him, from his father, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Mansour Bin Hazim who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Does Allah-azwj love the servant, then Hates him?’ So he-asws said: ‘You never cease to come to me-asws with something’. So I said, ‘This is my Religion, and by it I dispute with the people. So if you-asws are forbidding me from it, I shall leave it’. Then I said to him-asws, ‘Did Allah-azwj Detest Muhammad-saww upon a (any) situation from the situations?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘If He-azwj had Detested him-saww upon a situation from the situations, why did He-azwj Turn to him-saww and Took him-saww from one situation to another, so Made him-saww a Prophet-saww?’

فقلت: ألم تجبني منذ سينن عن الشقاء والسعادة، إنهما كانا من قبل أن يخلق الله الخلق؟ – قال: بلى، وأنا الساعة أقوله، قلت: فأخبرني عن السعيد، هل أبغضه الله على حال من الحالات؟ – فقال: لو أبغضه الله على حال من الحالات لما ألطف له حتى يخرجه من حال إلى حال، فيجعله سعيدا،

So I said, ‘You-asws did not answer me for years about the curesed and the successful. Were these two from before He-azwj Created the creatures?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Yes, and I-asws am saying it at this time’. I said, ‘So inform me about the successful one. Does Allah-azwj Hate him upon a (any) situation from the situations?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘If Allah-azwj Hated him upon a situation from the situations, why did He-azwj Turn to him until He-azwj Took him out from a situation to (another) situation, so Made him successful?’.

قلت: فأخبرني عن الشقي، هل أحبه الله على حال من الحالات؟ – فقال: لو أحبه الله في حال من الحالات ما تركه شقيا، ولاستنقذه من الشقاء إلى السعادة، قلت: فهل يبغض الله الله العبد ثم يحبه؟ – أو يحبه ثم يبغضه؟ – فقال: لا.

I said, ‘So, inform me abou the cursed one. Does Allah-azwj Love him upon a (any) situation from the situations?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘If Allah-azwj Loved him in a situation from the situations, Allah-azwj would not have Left him as a cursed one, and would have Recovered him from the misery to the success’. I said, ‘So, does Allah-azwj Hate the servant, then Loves him? Or Loves him, then Hates him?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘No!’[955]

عنه، عن الوشاء، عن مثنى الحناط، عن أبي بصير، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: إن الله خلق خلقه، فخلق خلقا لحبنا، لو أن أحدا خرج من هذا الرأى لرده الله وإن رغم أنفه، وخلق قوما لبغضنا، فلا يحبوننا أبدا.

From him, from Al Washa, from Masny Al Hanaat, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj Created His-azwj creatures, so He-azwj Created a people to love us-asws. Even if one of them were to come out from this view, Allah-azwj would Return him even reluctantly, by his nose. And He-azwj Created a people to hate us-asws, so they would never love us-asws, ever!’[956]

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن مثنى، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: إن – الله خلق قوما لحبنا، وخلق قوما لبغضنا، فلو أن الذين خلقهم لحبنا خرجوا من هذا الامر إلى غيره لاعادهم الله إليه وإن رغمت آنافهم، وخلق الله قوما لبغضنا، فلا يحبوننا أبدا.

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Masny, from Abu Baseer,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj Created a people to love us-asws, and Created a people to hate us-asws. So if the ones who have been Created to love us were to exit from this matter to someone else, Allah-azwj would Return them to it, even if (they are) reluctant (or to be pulled) by their noses. And Allah-azwj Created a people to hate us-asws, so they would never love us-asws, ever!’[957]

عنه، عن النضر بن سويد، عن يحيى بن عمران الحلبي، عن معلى أبي عثمان، عن علي بن حنظلة، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: إختصم رجلان بالمدينة، قدري ورجل من أهل مكة فجعلا أبا عبد الله (ع) بينهما فأتياه فذكرا كلامهما، فقال: إن شئتما أخبرتكما بقول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله؟ – فقالا: قد شئنا،

From him, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Bin Imran Al Halby, from Moala Abu Usman, from Ali Bin Hanzala,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Two men disputed, at Al-Medina, a Qadiriyya and a man from the people of Makkah. So they both made Abu Abdullah-asws to be in between the two of them. So they came to him-asws, and they both mentioned their speeches. So he-asws said: ‘If you both so desire, I shall inform both of you with a speech of Rasool-Allah-saww?’ So they both said, ‘We so desire it’.

فقال: قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فصعد المنبر، فحمد الله وأثنى عليه ثم قال: كتاب كتبه الله بيمينه، وكلتا يديه يمين، فيه أسماء أهل الجنة بأسمائهم وأسماء آبائهم وعشائرهم، مجمل عليهم لا يزيد فيهم رجلا ولا ينقص منهم أحدا أبدا،

So he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww stood up and ascended the Pulpit. So he-saww Praised Allah-azwj and Extolled Him-azwj, then said: ‘Allah-azwj Wrote a Book by His-azwj Right Hand, and both of His-azwj Hands are Right. In it are the names of the inhabitants of the Paradise, by their narmes, and the names of their fathers, and their families, the whole of them. There will not increase among them a single man, nor reduce from them anyone, ever!

وكتاب كتبه الله، فيه أسماء أهل النار بأسمائهم وأسماء آبائهم وعشائرهم، مجمل عليهم لا يزيد فيهمم رجلا ولا ينقص منهم رجلا، وقد يسلك بالسعيد في طريق الاشقياء ثم يقول الناس كأنه منهم ما أشبهه بهم!

And a Book Written By Allah-azwj, in which are the name of the inhabitants of the Fire, by their names and the names of their fathers, and their families, the whole of them. There will not increase among them a single man nor reduce from a single man. And the cursed ones may travel upon the way with the successful ones, then the people would be saying, ‘It is as if he is from them, how he resembles them!’

بل هو منهم، ثم تداركه السعادة، وقد يسلك بالشقي طريق السعداء حتى يقول الناس: ما أشبهه بهم! بل هو منهم، ثم يتداركه الشقاء، من كتبه الله سعيدا ولو لم يبق من الدنيا شئ إلا فواق ناقة ختم الله له بالسعادة.

But he is from them. Then you will see the successful one, and he has travelled with the cursed one upon his way, until the people would be saying, ‘How he resembles them!’ But he is from them. Then Bestowed misery upon him, the one for whom Allah-azwj has Ordained salvation. And even if there were not to remain from the world anything except for the hiccups of the camel, Allah-azwj would Seal the deliverance for it’. [958]

43 – باب التطول من الله على خلقه

Chapter 43 – The Conferring (of Benefit) from Allah-azwj over His-azwj creatures

عنه، عن أبيه، عن صفوان، قال: قلت لعبد صالح: هل في الناس استطاعة يتعاطون بها المعرفة؟ – قال: لا، إنما هو تطول من الله، قلت: أفلهم على المعرفة ثواب إذا كانوا ليس فيهم ما يتعاطونه بمنزلة الركوع والسجود الذي أمروا به ففعلوه؟ – قال: لا، إنما هو تطول من الله عليهم وتطول بالثواب

From him, from his father, from Safwan who said,

‘I said to Abd Salih-asws (7th Imam-asws), ‘Is there ability in the people to come to the understanding by it?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘No. But rather, it is a Benefit Conferred from Allah-azwj’. I said, ‘So is there a Reward for them upon the understanding, when it was not from their own selves, what they come to at the position of the bowings and the Prostrations which they have been Commanded for, so they do it?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘No. But rather, it is a Conferment from Allah-azwj upon them, and the prolongation is with the Rewards’.[959]

44 – باب بدء الخلق

Chapter 44 – Beginning of the creation

عنه، عن أبيه، عن فضاله بن أيوب، عن جميل بن دراج، عن زرارة، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) في قول الله تعالى: ” وإذا أخذ ربك من بني آدم من ظهورهم ذريتهم و أشهدهم على أنفسهم ” قال: كان ذلك معاينة لله، فأنساهم المعاينة وأثبت الاقرار في صدورهم، ولو لا ذلك ما عرف أحد خالقه ولا رازقه، وهو قول الله: ” ولئن سئلتهم من خلقهم ليقولن الله “.

From him, from his father, from Fazala Bin Ayoub, from Jameel Bin Daraaj, from Zarara,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj the High [7:172] And when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their backs, their descendants, and made them testify against their own souls. The Imam-asws said: ‘That was a Preview of Allah-azwj, so they forgot the preview, and the acceptance was affirmed in their chests. And had it not been for that, no one would have recognised who his Creator was, or who his Sustainer was. And these are the Words of Allah-azwj [43:87] And if you should ask them who created them, they would certainly say: Allah’.[960]

عنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن أبان، عن زرارة، عن أبي جعفر (ع) قال: لو علم الناس كيف كان ابتداء الخلق لما اختلف اثنان،

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban, from Zarara,

Abu Ja’far-asws has said: ‘If the people knew how was the beginning of the creation, no two would have differred’.

فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى قبل أن يخلق الخلق قال: كن ماء عذبا أخلق منك جنتي وأهل طاعتي، وقال: كن ماء ملحا أجاجا أخلق منك نارى وأهل معصيتى، ثم أمرهما فامتزجا، فمن ذلك صار يلد المؤمن الكافر، ويلد الكافر مومنا،

So he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and High, before He-azwj Created the creatures, Said: “Be, sweet water! I-azwj shall Created from you My Garden and the people of My-azwj obedience”. And Allah-azwj Said: “Be, salty water, bitter! I-azwj shall Created from you My-azwj Fire, and the people of My-azwj disobedience”. Then He-azwj Commanded the two, so they intermingled. So, from that came to be, that the Believer begot the Infidel, and the Infidel begot the Believer.

ثم أخذ طين آدم من أديم الارض، فعركه عركا شديدا، فإذا هم كالذر يدبون، فقال لاصحاب اليمين: إلى الجنة بسلام، وقال لاصحاب النار: إلى النار ولا أبالى،

Then Allah-azwj Took the clay of Adam-as from the crust of the earth, so Scrubbed it with an intense Scrubbing. So they were like the particles in the beginning. So Allah-azwj Said to the companions of the right hand: “To the Paradise, with the safety”. And Allah-azwj Said to the companions of the Fire: “To the Fire, and I-azwj do not Care!”

ثم أمر نارا فاستعرت، فقال لاصحاب الشمال: ” ادخلوها “، فهابوها، وقال لاصحاب اليمين، ” ادخلوها “، فدخلوها، فقال: كونى بردا وسلاما، فقال أصحاب الشمال: يا رب أقلنا،

Then Allah-azwj Commanded a Fire, so it raged. So Allah-azwj Said to the companions of the left: “Enter it!” But, they feared it. And Allah-azwj Said to the companions of the right: “Enter it!” So they entered into it. So Allah-azwj Said: “Be cool and safe!” So the companions of the left said, ‘O Lord-azwj! Tell us’.

فقال: قد أقلتكم فادخلوها، فذهبوا، فهابوها، فثم ثبتت الطاعة والمعصية، فلا يستطيع هؤلاء أن يكونوا من هؤلاء، ولا هؤلاء أن يكونوا من هؤلاء.

Allah-azwj Said: “I-azwj did Tell you”. So they entered it, but they ran away from it, and feared it. Thus, the obedience and the disobedience was affirmed. So there is no ability for these ones to be from those ones, nor from those ones to be from these ones’.[961]

عنه، عن عبد الله بن محمد النهيكى، عن حسان، عن أبيه، عن أبي اسحاق السبيعي، عن أبي جعفر وأبي عبد الله (عليهما السلام) قالا: كان في بدء خلق الله أن خلق أرضا وطينة، وفجر منها ماءها، وأجرى ذلك الماء على الارض سبعة أيام ولياليها، ثم نضب الماء عنها، ثم أخذ من صفوة تلك الطينة طينة الائمة، ثم أخذ قبضة أخرى من أسفل تلك الطينة، وهي طينة ذرية الائمة وشيعتهم، فلو تركت طينتكم كما تركت طينتنا، لكنتم أنتم ونحن شيئا واحدا،

From him, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Naheyki, from Hasaan, from his father, from Abu Is’haq Al Sabi’e,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws both having said: ‘It was at the beginning of creation that Allah-azwj Created an earth, and clay, and Caused water to flow within it. That water flowed upon the earth for seven days and nights. Then the water dried up from it. Then Allah-azwj Took from the cream of that clay, clay of the Imams-asws. Then Allah-azwj Took another Handful from the lower (part) of that clay, and it is the clay of the children of the Imams-asws and their Shiah. If your clay had been left just as our-asws clay was left, you and us-asws would have been one thing.

قلت: فما صنع بطينتنا؟ – قال: إن الله عزوجل خلق أرضا سبخة، ثم أجرى عليها ماء أجاجا، وأجراه سبعة أيام ولياليها، ثم نضب عنها الماء، ثم أخذ من صفوة تلك الطينة طينة أئمة الكفر، فلو تركت طينة عدونا كما أخذها، لم يشهدوا الشهادتين، أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله، ولم يكونوا يحجون البيت، ولا يعتمرون، ولا يؤتون الزكوة، ولا يصدقون، ولا يعملون شيئا من أعمال البر،

I said, ‘So what was done with our clay?’ Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created a marsh land, then Caused salty water to flow over it, and it flowed for seven days and nights. Then the water dried up from it. Then Allah-azwj Grabbed from the crust of that clay, clay of the imams of the disbelief. So, had the clay of our-asws enemies been left just as it was Taken, they would not have testified to the two testimonies, that there is no god except for Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, and they would not have been performing the Hajj of the House (Kabah), nor Umra, nor giving the Zakat, nor charity, nor knowing anything from the righteous deeds.

ثم قال: أخذ الله طينة شيعتنا وطينة عدونا، وخلطهما وعركهما عرك الاديم، ثم مزجهما بالماء، ثم جذب هذه من هذه، وقال: هذه في الجنة، ولا أبالى، وهذه في النار، ولا أبالى،

Then the Imam-asws said: ‘Then Allah-azwj Took the clay of our-asws Shiah and the clay of our-asws enemies, and Mixed the two and Scrubbed them with a Scrubbing of the surface. Then Allah-azwj Blended these two with the water, then Separated this from this and Said: “This is in the Paradise, and I-azwj do not Care, and this is in the Fire, and I-azwj do not Care”.

فما رأيت في المؤمن من زعارة وسوء الخلق واكتساب سيئات فمن تلك السبخة التي مازجته من الناصب، وما رأيت من حسن خلق الناصب وطلاقة وجهه وحسن بشره وصومه وصلاته، فمن تلك السبخة التي أصابته من المؤمن.

Thus, what you see in the Believer from ‘Za’arat’, and evil manners, and earning of the sins, so it is from that marsh which was mixed up from the Nasibi. And what you see from the good manners of the Nasibis, and versatility of his face, and good beings, and his Fasts, and his Prayers, so it is from that march which was hit from the (clay of the) Believer’.[962]

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr Al Bazanty, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘The one who claims that Allah-azwj Commands for the immoralities, so he has lied against Allah-azwj; and the one who claims that the good and the evil are to Him-azwj, so he has lied against Allah-azwj’.[968]

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Which thing is higher, Al-Imaan or Al-Islam? – for the ones before us are saying, ‘The Islam is superior’. So he-asws said: ‘Al-Imaan is higher than Al-Islam’.

قلت: فأوجدني ذلك، قال: ما تقول فيمن أحدث في الكعبة متعمدا؟ – قلت: يقتل، قال: أصبت، أما ترى أن الكعبة أفضل من المسجد وأن الكعبة تشرك المسجد، والمسجد لا يشرك الكعبة، وكذلك الايمان يشرك الاسلام، والاسلام لا يشرك الايمان.

I said, ‘Explain that to me’. He-asws said: ‘So what are you saying about the one who brings forth something in the Kabah, deliberately?’ O said, ‘He should be killed’. He-asws said: ‘You are right. Have you not seen that the Kabah is superior than the Masjid, and the Kabah is included in the Masjid and the Masjid is not included in the Kabah?

From him, from his father, from Abullah Bin Al Qasim, from Madrak Bin Abdul Rahman,

Abu Abdullah-asws has narrated that Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Islam is naked, and its clothing is the shyness, and its adornment is the loyalty, and its chivalry is the righteous deed, and its pillar is the piety. And for everything there is a foundation, and the foundation of the Islam is love for us-asws, the Progeny-asws of the Household’.[976]

عنه، عن محمد بن علي وأبي الخزرج، عن سفيان بن ابراهيم الحريري، عن أبيه، عن أبي صادق، قال: سمعت عليا (ع) يقول: أثافي الاسلام ثلاث، لا ينتفع واحدة منهن دون صاحبتها، الصلوة، والزكوة، والولاية

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali and Abu Al Khazraj, from Sufyan Bin Ibrahim Al Hareyri, from his father, from Abu Sadiq who said,

‘I heard Ali-asws saying: ‘The base of the Islam is three – One of these does not benefit without its companion – The Prayer, and the Zakat, and the Wilayah’.[977]

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن أبي جعفر (ع) قال: بنى الاسلام على خمس، الصلوة، والزكوة، والحج، والصوم، والولاية، ولم تناد بشئ ما نودى بالولاية،

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly,

Abu Ja’far-asws has said: ‘The faoundation of Al-Islam is upon five – The Salaat (Prayer), and the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Fasting, and the Wilayah. And nothing has been called for with a thing (more than) what Al-Wilayah has been called for’.

وزاد فيها عباس بن عامر: ” فأخذ الناس بأربع وتركوا هذه “. (يعنى الولاية).

And Abbas Bin Aamir has an increase with regards to it – ‘So the people took the four and neglected this (meaning Al-Wilayah)’.[978]

عنه، عن أبي طالب عبد الله بن الصلت، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن حريز بن عبد الله، عن زرارة، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: بنى الاسلام على خمسة أشياء، على الصلوة، والزكوة، والحج، والصوم، والولاية، قال زرارة: فأي ذلك أفضل؟ – فقال: الولاية أفضلهن، لانها مفتاحهن، والوالى هو الدليل عليهن،

From him, from Abu Talib Abdullah Bin Al Salt, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Zarara,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘The Islam is built upon five things – upon the Salaat, and upon the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Fasting, and the Wilayah’. Zarara said, ‘And which of that is the highest?’ So he-asws said: ‘Al-Wilayah is the highest of these, because it is their key, and the Guardian-asws is the evidence over these.

قلت: ثم الذي يلى ذلك في الفضل؟ – قال: الصلوة، إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله قال: الصلوة عمود الدين،

I said, ‘Then which one follows in preference?’ He-asws said: ‘The Salaat. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Prayer is the pillar of the Religion’.

(قال:) قلت: ثم الذي يليه في الفضل؟ – قال: الزكوة، لانه قرنها بها وبدأ بالصلوة قبلها، وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: الزكوة تذهب بالذنوب،

I said, ‘Then which one which follows it in preference?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘The Zakat, because it has been paired with it, and beginning (Zakat) with the Salaat, makes it Acceptable. And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Zakat does away with the sins’.

قلت: فالذي يليه في الفضل؟ – قال: الحج، لان الله قال: ” ولله على الناس حج البيت، من استطاع إليه سبيلا، ومن كفر فان الله غني عن العالمين ” وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لحجة متقبلة خير من عشرين صلوة نافلة، ومن طاف بهذا البيت طوافا أحصى فيه أسبوعه وأحسن ركعتيه غفر له، وقال يوم عرفة ويوم المزدلفة ما قال،

I said, ‘So which one follows it in preference?’ He-asws said: ‘The Hajj, because Allah-azwj Says [3:97] and Pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon the people for the Sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to it; and whoever disbelieves, then surely Allah is Self-sufficient, above any need of the worlds. And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘An Accepted Hajj is better than twenty optional Prayers. And the one who circumambulates this House (Kabah) with a circumambulation of the number (of days in a) week, and improves his bowings, would be Forgiven’. And he-saww said about the day of Arafa, and the day of Muzdalifa, what he-saww said’.

قلت: ثم ماذا يتبعه؟ – قال: الصوم قلت: وما بال الصوم صار آخر ذلك أجمع؟ – فقال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: الصوم جنة من النار، ثم قال: إن أفضل الاشياء ما إذا أنت فاتك لم يكن منه توبة، دون أن ترجع إليه فتؤديه بعينه، إن الصلوة والزكوة والحج والولاية ليس شئ يقع مكانها دون أداءها، وان الصوم إذا فاتك أو قصرت أو سافرت فيه أديت مكانه أياما غيرها وجبرت ذلك الذنب بصدقة ولا قضاء عليك، وليس من تلك الاربعة شئ يجزيك مكانه غيره،

I said, ‘And then what follows it?’ He-asws said: ‘The Fasting’. I said, ‘And what is the matter that the Fasting has come to be at the end of all that together?’ So he-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Fasting is a shield from the Fire’. Then the Imam-asws said: ‘The highest of the things is what when you miss it, there is no repentance from it, apart from you returning to it and fulfilling with exactly the same. The Salaat, and the Zakat, and the Hajj, and the Wilayah, there is nothing which can take its place apart from fulfilling it. And the Fasting, when you miss it, or ar deficient with it, or you are travelling, you can fulfill these with other days, and you can be free from that sin by charity, and there is no fulfilling of it upon you, and such is not from those four things, that you can be recompense for something else in its place’.

(قال:) ثم قال: ذروة الامر وسنامه ومفتاحه وباب الاشياء ورضى الرحمن الطاعة للامام بعد معرفته، إن الله يقول: ” من يطع الرسول فقد أطاع الله، ومن تولى فما أرسلناك عليهم حفيظا ” أما لو أن رجلا قام ليله، وصام نهاره، وتصدق بجميع ماله، وحج جميع دهره، ولم يعرف ولاية ولي الله، فيواليه ويكون جميع أعماله بدلالته له عليه، ما كان له على الله حق في ثواب، ولا كان من أهل الايمان، ثم قال: اولئك، المحسن منهم يدخله الله الجنة بفضل رحمته.

Then the Imam-asws said: ‘The peak of the matters, and its height, and its keyes, and the doors of the things, and Pleasure of the Beneficent, and the obedience to the Imam-asws is after recognising him-asws. Allah-azwj is Saying [4:80] Whoever obeys the Rasool, so he has obeyed Allah, and whoever turns back, so We have not Sent you as a keeper over them. But, even if a man were to stand (for Prayer) during his night, and Fasts during his day, and gives charity with all of his wealth, and performs Hajj all of his time, but does not recognise the Wilayah of the Guardian of Allah-azwj, all of his deeds would become evidence against him, and there would not be for him a right upon Allah-azwj with regards to the Reward, not would he be from the people of the Imaan’. Then he-asws said: ‘Those ones, the good ones among them, Allah-azwj would Enter them into the Paradise by the Grace of His-azwj Mercy’.[979]

عنه، عن أبي اسحاق الثقفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن مروان، عن أبان بن عثمان، عمن ذكره، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى أعطى محمدا صلى الله عليه وآله شرايع نوح وأبراهيم وموسى وعيسى، التوحيد، والاخلاص، وخلع الانداد، والفطرة، والحنيفية السمحة، لا رهبانية ولا سياحة، أحل فيها الطيبات، وحرم فيها الخبيثات، و وضع عنهم إصرهم، والاغلال، التي كانت عليهم،

From him, from Abu Is’haq Al Saqafy, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Aban Bin Usman, from the one who mentioned it,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah -azwj Blessed and High Gave to Muhammad-saww the Laws of Noah-as, and Musa-as, and Isa-as, and the Tawheed (Oneness), and the sincerity, and removal of the idols, and the nature, and the magnanimity of the leniency; no priesthood and no touring (for spreading the Religion), Permitted therein the good things and Prohibited therein the bad things, and placed down the burdens and the shackles which used to be upon them (the people).

فعرف فضله بذلك، ثم افترض عليها فيها الصلوة، والزكوة والصيام والحج، والامر بالمعروف، والنهي عن المنكر، والحلال، والحرام، والمواريث، والحدود، والفرايض، والجهاد في سبيل الله، وزاده الوضوء، وفضله بفاتحة الكتاب، وبخواتيم سورة البقرة، والمفصل، وأحل له المغنم، والفئ ونصره بالرعب، وجعل له الارض مسجدا وطهورا، وأرسله كافة، إلى الابيض والاسود والجن والانس، وأعطاه الجزية وأسر المشركين وفداهم،

Thus, his-saww merit can be recognised by that. Then Obligated upon him-saww therein, the Salaat, and the Zakat, and the Fasts, and the Hajj, and the enjoining of the good, and the forbidding from the evil, and the Permissibles, and the prohibitions, and the inheritances, and the Limits, and the Obligations, and the Jihad in the Way of Allah-azwj, and Increased for him-saww the ablution, and Graced him-saww with the Opening of the Book, and by sealing of the Surah Al-Baqarah, to the white and the black, and the Jinn and the human beings. And Gave him-saww the taxation, and the captivity of the Polytheists and their expiation.

ثم كلفه ما لم يكلف أحدا من الانبياء، أنزل عليه سيفا من السماء في غير غمد، وقيل له: قاتل في سبيل الله، لا تكلف إلا نفسك (عباس بن عامر: وزاد فيه بعضهم) ” فأخذ الناس بأربع وتركوا هذه ” (يعنى الولاية).

Then Imposed upon him-saww what no one from the Prophets-as had been Imposed with – Descended upon him-saww a sword from the sky, without its sheath, and Said to him-saww: [4:84] Fight then in Allah’s Way; this is not imposed on you except in relation to yourself. So the people took by four, and neglected this (meaning Al-Wilayah)’.[980]

عنه، عن عبد الرحمن بن نجران وأحمد بن أبي نصر، عن عاصم بن حميد، عن أبي بصير، عن أحدهما (ع) قال: إذا مات العبد المؤمن دخل معه في قبره ستة صور، فيهن صورة هي أحسنهن وجها، وأبهاهن هيئة، وأطيبهن ريحا، وأنظفهن صورة، قال: فيقف صورة عن يمينه، وأخرى عن يساره، وأخرى بين يديه، وأخرى خلفه، وأخرى عند رجليه، ويقف التي هي أحسنهن فوق رأسه، فان أتى عن يمينه، منعته التي عن يمينه، ثم كذلك إلى أن يؤتى من الجهات الست

From him, from Abdul Rahman Bin Najran and Ahmad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from one of them-asws (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘When the Believers dies, six images enter along with him into his grave. Among these is an image which is the most beautiful of them of face, well-built of the bodies, most aromatic of aromas, and cleanest of the images. So an image pauses on his right, and another on his left, and another in front of him, and another behind him, and another by his feet, and the one which is the most beautiful of these, pauses by his head. So if he is approached (by anything bad) from his right, that which is on his right prevents it. Such is that case from all six sides.

قال: فتقول أحسنهن صورة: من أنتم جزاكم الله عني خيرا؟ – فتقول التي عن يمين العبد: أنا الصلوة، وتقول التي عن يساره: أنا الزكوة، وتقول التي بين يديه: أنا الصيام، وتقول التي خلفه: أنا الحج والعمرة، وتقول التي عند رجليه: أنا بر من وصلت من إخوانك، ثم يقلن: من أنت؟ – فأنت أحسننا وجها، وأطيبنا ريحا، وأبهانا هيئة، فتقول: أنا الولاية لآل محمد (صلوات الله عليه وعليهم).

The Imam-asws said: ‘So the one of the most beautiful of these images, says: ‘Who are you, may Allah-azwj Recompense you goodly?’ So the one on the right of the servant says: ‘I am the Salaat’, and that which is on his left says, ‘I am the Zakat’, and that which is in front of him says: ‘I am the Fasts’, and the one which is behind him says, ‘I am the Hajj’, and that which is by his feet says: ‘I am the righteousness which you did to your brothers’. Then they (all) say: ‘Who are you? – for you are the most beautiful of faces, and most aromatic of aromas, and most well-built of body’. So it says: ‘I am the Wilayah of the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’.[981]

عنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن حسين بن سيف الكندى، عن معاذ بن مسلم، قال: أدخلت عمر أخى على أبي عبد الله (ع) فقلت له: هذا عمر أخي، وهو يريد أن يسمع منك شيئا، فقال له: سل عما شئت، فقال: أسألك عن الذي لا يقبل الله من العباد غيره، ولا يعذرهم على جهله،

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Husayn Bin Sayf Al Kindy, from Ma’az Bin Muslim who said,

‘I am along with my brother Umar (went to see) Abu Abdullah-asws, so I said to him-asws, ‘This is my brother Umar, and he wants to hear something from you-asws’. So the Imam-asws said to him: ‘Ask, whatever occurs to you’. So he said, ‘I ask you-asws about which Allah -azwj does not Accept from the servant, apart from it, nor does He-azwj excuse them for their ignorance’.

فقال: شهادة أن لا اله إلا الله، وأن محمدا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله والصلوت الخمس، وصيام شهر رمضان، والغسل من الجنابة، وحج البيت، والاقرار بما جاء من عند الله جملة، والايتمام بأئمة الحق من آل محمد،

So he-asws said: ‘The testimony that there is no god except for Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, and the five Salaat, and the Fasts of the Month of Ramazan, and the washing from the (sexual) impurities, and Hajj of the House (Kabah), and the acceptance with whatever has come from the Presence of Allah-azwj, in its entirety, and the following the Imams-asws of the Truth from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’.

فقال عمر: سمهم لى أصلحك الله، فقال: علي أمير المؤمنين، والحسن، والحسين، وعلي بن الحسين، ومحمد بن على، والخير يعطيه الله من يشاء، فقال له: فأنت جعلت فداك؟ – قال: هذا الامر يجرى لآخرنا كما يجرى لاولنا، ولمحمد وعلي فضلهما، قال: فأنت جعلت فداك؟

So Umar said, ‘Name them-asws for me, may Allah-azwj Keep you-asws well’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘Ali-asws Amir-ul-Momineen-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, and the good (which) Allah-azwj Gives to the one whom He-azwj so Desires to’. So he said to him-asws, ‘So, (what about) you-asws, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘This matter flow to the last one-asws of us-asws just as it flowed to our-asws first one-asws, and to Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, for both-asws there are merits’. He said, ‘So (what about) you-asws, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’

فقال: هذا الامر يجرى كما يجرى الليل والنهار، قال، فأنت جعلت فداك؟ – قال: هذا الامر يجرى كما يجرى حد الزاني والسارق، قال: فأنت جعلت فداك؟ – قال: القرآن نزل في أقوام وهى تجرى في الناس إلى يوم القيامة، قال: قلت: جعلت فداك: أنت لتزيدني على أمر.

So the Imam-asws said: ‘This is a matter which flows just as the day and the night flow’. He said, ‘So (what about) you-asws, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’ This matter flow just as the flowing of the Limits of the adulterer and the thief’. He said, ‘So (what about) you-asws, may I be sacrificed for you-asws?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘The Quran descended among a people and it will flow among the people up to the Day of Judgement’. He said, ‘May I be sacrified for you-asws! You-asws have increased for me, upon a matter’.[982]

عنه، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن ثعلبة بن ميمون، عن علي بن عبد العزيز، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): ألا أخبرك بأصل الاسلام وفرعه وذروته وسنامه؟ – قال: قلت: بلى جعلت فداك، قال: أصله الصلوة، وفرعه الزكوة، وذروته وسنامه الجهاد في سبيل الله، ألا أخبرك بأبواب الخير؟ – قلت: نعم جعلت فداك، قال: الصوم جنة من النار، والصدقة تحط الخطيئة، وقيام الرجل في جوف الليل يناجى ربه، ثم تلا ” تتجافى جنوبهم عن المضاجع يدعون ربهم خوفا وطمعا ومما رزقناهم ينفقون “.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazaal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws inform you of the origin of the Islam, and its branch, and its peak and its height?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws’. The Imam-asws said: ‘The Fasting is a shield from the Fire, and the charity reduces the sins, and the standing of the man in the middle of the night whispering to his Lord’. Then the Imam-asws recited [32:16] Their sides forsake their beds, supplicating to their Lord in fear and in hope, and from what We have Given them, they are spending’.[983]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن علي بن النعمان، عن ابن مسكان، عن سليمان بن خالد، عن أبي جعفر (ع) قال: قال: ألا أخبرك بأصل الاسلام، وفرعه، وذروته، وسنامه؟ – قال: قلت: بلى جعلت فداك، قال: أما أصله فالصلوة، وفرعه الزكوة، وذروته وسنامه الجهاد، قال: إن شئت أخبرتك بأبواب الخير؟ – قلت: نعم جعلت فداك، قال: الصوم جنة، والصدقة تذهب بالخطيئة، وقيام الرجل في جوف الليل بذكر الله، ثم قرأ: ” تتجافى جنوبهم عن – المضاجع “.

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin No’man, from Ibn Muskaan, from Suleyman Bin Khalid,

Abu Ja’far-asws has said: ‘Shall I-asws inform you of the origin of the Islam, and its branch, and its peak, and its height?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws’. The Imam-asws said: ‘As for its origin, so it is the Salaat; and its branch is the Zakat; and its peak and its height is the Jihad’. The Imam-asws said: ‘If you so like, I-asws shall inform you of the doors of the goodness?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘The Fast is a shielf (from the Fire), and the chairity does away with the sins, and the standing of the man in the middle of the night with the Remembrance of Allah-azwj’. Then he-asws recited [32:16] Their sides forsake their beds’.[984]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن ابراهيم بن عمر اليماني، عمن ذكره، عن علي (ع) أنه كان يقول: إن أفضل ما يتوسل به المتوسلون الايمان بالله و برسوله، والجهاد في سبيل الله، وكلمة الاخلاص فانها الفطرة، وتمام الصلوة فانها الملة، وايتاء الزكوة فانها من فرائض الله، وصوم شهر رمضان فانها جنة من عذابه، وحج البيت فانها منفاة للفقر ومدحضة للذنب، وصلة الرحم مثراة للمال ومنسأة في الاجل، وصدقة السر، فانها تطفى الخطيئة وتطفى غضب الرب وصنائع الخير والمعروف، فانها تدفع ميتة – السوء، وتقى مصارع الهول،

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Ibrahim Bin Umar Al Yamani, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Ali-asws who was saying: ‘The most preferable of what the beseeching ones beseech with is the belief in Allah-azwj and in His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the Jihaad in the Way of Allah-azwj, and the sincere word speech, for it is the nature, and the complete Salaat for it is the Religion, and giving the Zakat for it is from the Obligations of Allah-azwj, and Fasts of the Month of Ramazan for these are a shield from His-azwj Punishment, and Hajj of the House (Kabah) for it is beneficial for the poverty and rebuttal of the sins, and maintaining relations with the relatives (for it) increases the wealth and a supporting stick for the term (death), and secretive charity for it extinguishes the errors, and extinguishes the Anger of the Lord-azwj, and the doing of good and the correct for it repulses evil death; and fear the changing horrors.

الا فاصدقوا فان الله مع من صدق، وجانبوا الكذب فان الكذب مجانب للايمان، ألا إن الصادق على شفا منجاة وكرامة، ألا وإن الكاذب على شفا مخزاة وهلكة، ألا وقولوا خيرا تعرفوا به، واعملوا به تكونوا من اهل، وأدوا الامانة إلى من ائتمنكم، وصلوا الارحام من قطعكم، وعودوا بالفضل عليهم.

Indeed! Be truthful, for Allah-azwj is with the truthful, and keep aside from the lies for the lies are aside from the faith. Indeed! The truthful is upon the brink of salvation and prestige. Indeed! The liar is on the brink of disgrace and destruction. Indeed! And speak good to be recognised by it, and act by it in order to become its deserving one, and fulfil the entrustment to the one who has entrusted it with you, and maintain good relations with the ones who have cut it off from you, and be cordial with the grace upon them’.[985]

عنه، عن محمد بن خالد، عن النضر، عن يحيى الحلبي، عن عبد الله بن مسكان، عن سليمان بن خالد، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): جعلت فداك أخبرني عن الفرائض التي افترض الله على العباد، ما هي؟ – فقال: شهادة أن لا اله إلا الله وأن محمدا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، و إقام الصلوة، والخمس، والزكوة، وحج البيت، وصوم شهر رمضان، والولاية، فمن أقامهن وسدد، وقارب، واجتنب كل منكر دخل الجنة.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al Nazar, from Yahya Al Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Suleyman Bin Khalid who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Inform me about the Obligations which Allah-azwj has Obligated upon the servants, what are these?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘The testimony that there is god except Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Rasool-Allah-saww, and establishing of the Salaat, and the Khums, and the Zakat, and Hajj of the House (Kabah), and Fasting in the Month of Ramazan, and the Wilayah. So the one who establishes these, and was Guided, and approached these, and kept away from every evil would enter the Paradise’.[986]

From him, from Musa Bin Al Qasam, from Ali Bin Ja’far,

(It has been narrated) from his brother-asws Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws Al-Sadiq-asws who said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who perfected his ablution, and improved his Salaat, and pay the Zakat of his wealth, and restrains his anger, and imprisoned his tongue, and sough Forgiveness of his sins, and fulfilled the advice of the Progeny-asws of the Household of Rasool-Allah-saww, so he has completed the realities of the Imaan (faith), and the Doors of the Paradise would be opened for him’.[987]

From him, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Ali Bin Haroun, from Al Asbagh Bin Nabata who said, ‘Abu Ayoub Al Ansary said to me,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘Allah-azwj has Adorned you-asws with an adornment which He-azwj has not Adorned the servants with a thing more beloved to Allah-azwj than it, nor more eloquent in His-azwj Presence than it – the asceticism in the word. And Allah-azwj has Given that to you-asws, and Made the world such that it would not achieve anything from you-asws, and Made for you-asws from that, a mark, you-asws can be recognised by’.[991]

From him, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hamaad, from Hanaan Bin Sudeyr,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Said: “Nothing Endears Me-azwj more to My-azwj servant with something more Beloved to me from what I-azwj have Obligated upon him, that he should gift to Me-azwj with the Optional Prayers until I-azwj love him. So when I-azwj Love him, I-asws would be his ears which he hears with, and his vision which he sees with, and his tongue which he speaks with, and his hands which he strikes with, and his feet which he walks with. When he supplicates to Me-azwj, I-azwj shall Answer him; and when he asks Me-azwj, I-azwj shall Give it to him. And I-azwj do not Hesitate in anything which I-azwj do like I-azwj Hesitate with regards to the death of a Believer. He hates the death, and I Hate to Pain him’.[992]

And there is nothing which is more Beloved to Allah-azwj than to ask, and that the quickest consequence of the evil is the Punishment for the rebellion, and the quickest for the good is the Reward for the righteousness.

وكفى بالمرء عيبا أن يبصر من الناس ما يعمى عنه عن نفسه، أو ينهى الناس عما لا يستطيع التحول عنه، و أن يؤذى جليسه بما لا يعنيه.

And it suffices as a fault with the person that he should look from the people what he is blind from it about himself, or prevent the people from what he does not have the ability to change from it, and that he should harm those seated in his gathering with what is of no concern of his’.[996]

From him, from one of our companions, from Abaad Bin Saheyb, form Yaqoub, from Yahya Bin Al Msawar, from his father,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Musa-as Bin Imran-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! Which is the best deed in Your-azwj Presence?’ So Allah-azwj Said: “Love of the children, for I-azwj have Natured them upon My-azwj Oneness (Tawheed), so if I-azwj were to Cause them to die, I-azwj Shall enter them into My-azwj Paradise’.[1002]

عنه، عن جعفر بن محمد الاشعري، عن عبد الله بن ميمون القداح، عن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن جده، علي بن الحسين (عليهم السلام) قال: قال موسى بن عمران: يا رب من أهلك الذين تظلهم في ظل عرشك يوم لا ظل إلا ظلك؟

From him, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Shary, from Abdullah Bin Maymoun Al Qadah,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘Musa-as Bin Imran-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! Who are the deserving ones whom You-azwj would be Shading in the Shadow of Your-azwj Throne on the Day in which there will be no shadow except for Your-azwj Shadow?’

– قال: فأوحى الله إليه: الطاهرة قلوبهم والبرية أيديهم، الذين يذكرون بحلالى، الذين يكتفون بطاعتي كما يكتفى الصبي الصغير باللبان، الذين يأوون إلى مساجدي كما يأوى النسور إلى أوكارها، والذين يغضبون لمحارمي إذا استحلت مثل النمر إذا حرد.

Allah-azwj Said: “The (ones who) purified their hearts, and (did) righteousness with their hands, the one who are remembering My-azwj Permissibles, the one who are content with My-azwj obedience just as the young ones are content with the milk, the ones who harbour to My-azwj Masjids like the eagle harbours to its nest, and the ones who get angered if My-azwj Prohibitions are made to be Permissible, like the tiger when it roars’.[1003]

عنه، عن جعفر بن محمد الاشعري، عن عبد الله بن ميمون القداح، عن أبي عبد الله، عن أبيه (عليهما السلام) قال: قال الله تبارك وتعالى: إنما أقبل الصلوة لمن يتواضع لعظمتي، ويكف نفسه عن الشهوات من أجلى، ويقطع نهاره بذكرى، ولا يتعظم على خلقي، ويطعم الجايع، ويكسوا العارى، ويرحم المصاب، ويؤوى الغريب،

From him, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ashary, from Abdullah Bin Maymoun Al Qadah,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws who said,: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and High Said: “But rather, I-azwj Accept the Prayer of the one who humbles himself to My-azwj Magnificence, and restrains himself from the lustful desires for My-azwj Sake, and cuts his day by My-azwj Remembrance, and does not magnify My-azwj creatures, and feeds the hungry, and clothes the naked, and is merciful to the injured.

فذلك يشرق نوره كمثل الشمس، أجعل له في الظلمات نورا، وفي الجهالة علما، أكلؤه بعزتي، و أستحفظه بملائكتي، يدعوني فألبيه، ويسألني فأعطيه، مثل ذلك عندي كمثل جنات الفردوس لا تيبس ثمارها، ولا يتغير حالها ،

Thus, due to that, his Light will shine like the sun does. I-azwj shall Enlighten for him a Light in the darkness, and knowledge in the ignorance, and he shall eat by My-azwj Honour, and My-azwj Angels would Protect him. He supplicates to Me-azwj and I-azwj Bestow upon him, and he asks Me-azwj and I-azwj Give it to him. His example in My-azwj Presence is like the example of the Gardens of Fordows, its fruit do not harden up, and its state does not change”.[1004]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن اسحاق بن عمار، عمن سمع أبا – عبد الله (ع) يقول: ما ضاع مال في بر ولا بحر إلا بتضييع الزكوة، فحصنوا أموالكم بالزكوة، وداووا مرضاكم بالصدقة، وادفعوا نوائب البلايا بالاستغفار، الصاعقة لا تصيب ذاكرا، وليس يصاد من الطير إلا ما ضيع تسبيحه.

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Is’haq Bin Amaar,

(It has been narrated) from the one who heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘No wealth is lost, neither in the land or the sea, except that the Zakat was missing from it. Therefore, fortify your wealth by the (giving of the) Zakat, and cure your sick ones with the (giving of) charity, and repulse the ravages of the affliction by the seeking of the Forgiveness. The thunderbolt does not strike the ‘Zaakir’ (one who does Zikr of Allah-azwj). And there is none from the birds which gets trapped except that it missed its Glorification’.[1007]

From him, from his father, from Abbas Bin Aamir, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khash’amy, from Abdul Raheem Al Qasyer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, said: ‘Hafs Al-Owr asked him, and I was listening, so he said, ‘May Allah-azwj Make me to be sacrificed for you-asws! What about the Words of Allah-azwj [3:97] and Pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon the people for the Sake of Allah, (upon) every one who is able to undertake the journey to it?’ He-asws said: ‘That is the strength of the wealth and the richness’. He said, ‘So if he was from the rich ones, so they would be from every one who is able to undertake the journey to it?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Yes’.

فقال له ابن سيابة، بلغنا عن أبي جعفر (ع) أنه كان يقول: يكتب وفد الحاج، فقطع كلامه فقال: كان أبي يقول: يكتبون في الليلة التي قال الله: ” فيها يفرق كل أمر حكيم أمرا من عندنا ” قال: فان لم يكتب في تلك الليلة يستطيع الحج؟ – قال: لا، معاذ الله، فتكلم حفص بن سالم فقال: لست من خصومتكم في شئ هكذا الامر.

So Ibn Sayaba said to him-asws, ‘It has reached us from Abu Ja’far-asws that he-asws was saying: ‘The delegations for Hajj are Ordained’, so he cut off his speech’. So he-asws said: ‘My-asws father-asws was saying: ‘It is Ordained during the night for which Allah-azwj has Said [44:4] Therein every wise affair is made distinct, [44:5] A Command from Us’. He said, ‘So if it is not Oradine during that night, there is no ability for Hajj?’ He-asws said: ‘No, Allah-azwj Forbid!’ So Hafs Bin Saalim spoke, so he-asws said: ‘It is not from your disputes regarding a thing the affair of which is like this’.[1012]

عنه، عن علي بن الحكم، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: إن الله أكرم من أن يكلف الناس ما لا يطيقون، والله أعز من أن يكون في سلطانه ما لا يريد.

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Bin Saalim,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj is more Benevolent than to Impose upon the people what they cannot endure. And Allah-azwj is more Honourable than for there to be in His-azwj Government what He-azwj does not Want’.[1013]

عنه، عن علي بن حكم، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال: ما كلف الله العباد إلا ما يطيقون، إنما كلفهم في اليوم والليلة خمس صلوات، وكلفهم من كل مأتى درهم خمسة دراهم، وكلفهم صيام شهر رمضان في السنة، وكلفهم حجة واحدة وهم يطيقون أكثر من ذلك وانما كلفهم دون ما يطيقون ونحو هذا.

From him, from Ali Bin Hakam, from Hisham Bin Saalim,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj does not Impose upon the servant what they cannot endure. But rather, He-azwj has Imposed upon them during the day and the night, five Salaat; and Imposed them from every two hundred Dirhams, five Dirhams; and Imposed upon them Fasts of the Month of Ramazan during one year; and Imposed upon them one Hajj although they are able to endure more than that. But rather, He-azwj Imposed upon them besides what they are enduring, and approximately this’.[1014]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن الحسين بن المختار، عن حمزة بن حمران، قال: قلت له: إنا نقول: إن الله لم يكلف العباد إلا ما آتاهم، وكل شئ لا يطيقونه فهو عنهم موضوع، ولا يكون إلا ما شاء الله وقضى وقدر وأراد، فقال: والله إن هذا لدينى ودين آبائى.

‘I said to him-asws, ‘We are saying that Allah-azwj does not Impose upon the servant except what He-azwj has Given them, and everything that they cannot endure, so it is their own placing, and nothing happens except what Allah-azwj so Desires, and Judges, and Pre-determines, and Intends’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! This is of my-asws Religion and the Religion of my-asws forefathers -asws’.[1015]

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘A man had wealth for himself, so it went away. The Hajj presented itself to him, so should he revive it?’ So he-asws said: ‘The one to whom Hajj presents itself so he should revive it, even though it be upon a donkey which limps and its ears are cut off, so he is from those. My-asws father-asws was saying: ‘It is Ordained during the night for which Allah-azwj has Said [44:4] Therein every wise affair is made distinct, [44:5] A Command from Us’. He said, ‘So if it is not Oradined during that night, there is no ability for Hajj?’ He-asws said: ‘No, Allah-azwj Forbid!’ So Hafs Bin Saalim spoke, so he-asws said: ‘It is not from your disputes regarding a thing, the affair of which is like this’.[1016]

Book 1 – The Book of Reasons

أحمد بن أبى عبد الله البرقى، عن أبيه محمد بن خالد البرقى عن خلف بن حماد، عن عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر، قال: قلت لابي جعفر (ع): كيف اختلف أصحاب النبي صلى الله عليه وآله في المسح على الخفين؟ – فقال: كان الرجل منهم يسمع من النبي صلى الله عليه وآله الحديث فيغيب عن الناسخ ولا يعرفه، فإذا أنكر ما يخالف في يديه كبر عليه تركه،

Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from his father Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Barqy, from Khalaf Bin Hamaad, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir who said,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘How did the companions of the Prophet-saww come to differ regarding the wiping upon the two socks?’ So he-asws said: ‘There was the man among them who heard the Hadeeth from the Prophet-saww but he was absent from the Abrogating Verses and did not understand it. So when it denied that which contradicted what in front of him, he was too proud to leave it.

وقد كان الشئ ينزل على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فيعمل به زمانا ثم يؤمر بغيره فيأمر به أصحابه وأمته حتى قال أناس: يا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله إنك تأمرنا بالشئ حتى إذا اعتدناه وجرينا عليه، أمرتنا بغيره، فسكت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله عنهم فأنزل الله عليه: ” قل ما كنت بدعا من الرسل إن أتبع إلا ما يوحى إلى وما أنا إلا نذير مبين “.

And it was so that something was Revealed unto Rasool-Allah-saww, so he-saww acted upon it, then he-saww was Commanded for something else. So he ordered his-saww companions and his-saww community until the people said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww had ordered us with the thing until we were habitual in it and we flowed upon it, (now) you-saww are ordering us with something else?’ So the Prophet-saww was silent from them. Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww [46:9] Say: I am not the first of the Rasools, and I do not know what will be Done with me or with you: I do not follow anything but that which is Revealed unto me, and I am nothing but a plain warner’.[1017]

عنه، عن أبيه، رفعه، قال قال أبو عبد الله (ع) لرجل: أحكم الاخرة كما أحكم أهل الدنيا أمر ديناهم، فانما جعلت الدنيا شاهدا يعرف بها ما غاب عنها من الآخرة، فاعرف الآخرة بها ولا تنظر إلى الدنيا إلا باعتبار

From him, from his father, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to a man: ‘Judge the Hereafter just as the people of the world judge the matters of their world. But rather, the world has been made to be a witness, from it, it can be understood what is hidden from it from the Hereafter. Therefore, recognise the Hereafter by it and do not look at the world except with a view to learning a lesson from it’.[1018]

عنه، عن أبيه، رفعه قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): المسجون من ديناه عن آخرته.

From him, from his father, raising it, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The prisoner is the one who is in debt about his Hereafter’.[1019]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن على بن النعمان، عن عبد الله بن مسكان، عن عبد الاعلى بن أعين، قال: سأل على بن حنظلة أبا عبد الله (ع) عن مسألة وأنا حاضر فأجابه فيها، فقال له على: فان كان كذا وكذا فأجابه بوجه آخر، حتى أجابه بأربعة أوجه، فقال على بن حنظلة: يا با محمد هذا باب قد أحكمناه، فسمعه أبو عبد الله (ع) فقال تقل هكذا با أبا الحسن، فانك رجل ورع، إن من الاشياء أشياء مضيقة، ليس يجرى إلا على وجه واحد، منها وقت الجمعة ليس وقتها إلا حد واحد حين تزول الشمس، ومن الاشياء أشياء موسعة، تجرى على وجوه كثيرة وهذا منها والله إن له عندي لسبعين وجها.

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Al No’man, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Abdul A’la Bin Ayn who said,

‘Ali Bin Hanzala asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a problem, and I was present, so the Imam-asws answered him with regards to it, So Ali said to the Imam-asws, ‘So if it was such and such?’ So the Imam-asws answered him with another answer, to the extent that he-asws answered him upon four aspects. So Ali Bin Hanzala said, ‘O Abu Muhammad! This is a door, which we have being the wisest of all’. Abu Abdullah-asws overheard him, so he-asws said: ‘You are saying it like this, O Abu Al-Hassan, for you are a pious man. There is a thing from the things (for which) there is a restriction, it does not flow except upon one aspect, from it is the Friday (Prayer). There is no time for it except for one Limit when the sun sets. And there is a thing from the things which is extensive, so it flows upon many aspects. And this is from it, by Allah-azwj! For it, there are seventy aspects with me-asws’.[1020]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن على بن الحكم، عن محمد بن الفضيل، عن شريس الوابشى، عن جابر بن يزيد الجعفي، قال: سألت أبا جعفر (ع) عن شئ من التفسير فأجابني، ثم سألته عنه ثانية فأجابني بجواب آخر، فقلت: جعلت فداك كنت أجبتني في هذه المسألة بجواب غير هذا قبل اليوم، فقال: يا جابر إن للقرآن بطنا وللبطن بطنا وله ظهر وللظهر ظهر، يا جابر ليس شئ أبعد من عقول الرجال من تفسير القرآن، إن الآية يكون أولها في شئ وآخرها في شئ وهو كلام متصل منصرف على وجوه.

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muhammad Bin Al Fazeyl, from Shareys Al Wabishi, from Jabir Bin Yazeed Al Ju’fy who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about something from the interpretation (of the Quran), so he-asws answered me. Then I asked him-asws about it for a second time, so he-asws answered me with another answer, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You had answered me with regards to this question with an answer other than this, before today’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘O Jabir! For the Quran there is an esoteric, and for the esoteric there is an esoteric (Meaning), and for it there is the apparent for an apparent. O Jabir! There is nothing more remote from the intellects of the men, than the interpretation of the Quran. There would be a Verse, the beginning of it would be regarding something, and the middle of it would be regarding something, and the end of it would be regarding something. And it is a connected speech which goes upon its aspect’.[1021]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن محمد بن قزعة، قال: قلت لابي – عبد الله (ع): إن من يقولون: إن إبراهيم ختن نفسه بقدوم على دن، فقال، سبحان الله ليس كما يقولون، كذبوا على إبراهيم (ع) فقال: كيف ذلك؟ – قال: إن الانبياء كانت تسقط عنه غلفهم مع سررهم اليوم السابع، فلما ولد لابراهيم إسماعيل من هاجر سقطت عنه غلفته مع سرته، وعيرت بعد ذلك سارة هاجر بما تعير به الامآء، قال: فبكت هاجر واشتد ذلك عليها، (قال:) فلما رآها إسماعيل فبكى لبكائها، فدخل إبراهيم (ع) فقال: ما يبكيك يا إسماعيل؟ – قال له إن سارة عيرت أمي بكذا وكذا فبكت فبكيت لبكائها،

From him, from his father, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Qaz’at who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘There are ones who are saying that Ibrahim-as circumcised himself-as before the arrival’. So he-asws said: ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! It is not as they are saying. They are lying against Ibrahim-as!’ So he said, ‘How is that?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘The Prophets-as, their-as wrapping falls off from them-as along with their-as navel, on the seventh day. So when Ibrahim-as was awarded with Ismail-as from Hajar-as, his-as wrapping fell off from him-as along with his-as navel. Afer that, Sarah-as taunted Hajar-as with what the maid is taunted with. So Hajar-as cried, and that was intense upon her. So when Ismail-as saw her-as, he-as also cried upon her-as crying. So Ibrahim-as came up and said: ‘O Ismail-as, why are you-as crying?’ He-as said to him-as: ‘Sarah-as taunted my-as mother-as with such and such, so she-as is crying, therefore I-as am crying upon her-as crying’.

فقام إبراهيم (ع) إلى مصلاه، فناجى فيه ربه وسأله أن يلقى ذلك عن هاجر، فألقاه الله عنها، فلما ولدت سارة إسحاق وكان اليوم السابع سقطت عن إسحاق سرته ولم تسقط عنه غلفته، فجزعت سارة من ذلك، فلما دخل عليها إبراهيم (ع) قالت له: يا إبراهيم ما هذا الحادث الذى حدث في آل إبراهيم (ع) وأولاد الانبياء، هذا ابنك إسحاق قد سقطت عنه سرته ولم تسقط عنه غلفته؟!

So Ibrahim-as stood upon his-as Prayer mat and whispered therein to his-as Lord-azwj and asked Him-azwj to Cast that away from Hajar-as. So Allah-azwj Cast it away from her-as. So when Is’haq-as was born unto Sarah-as, and on the seventh day his-as navel fell off Is’haq, but his-as wrapping did not fall off. So Sarah-as panicked from that. So when Ibrahim-as came up to her-as, she-as said to him-as: ‘O Ibrahim-as! What is this event which has occurred in the Progeny of Ibrahim-as and the children of the Prophets-as. This is your-as son-as Is’haq-as. His-as navel has fallen off him-as, but his-as wrapping has not fallen off from him-as?’

فقام إبراهيم (ع) إلى مصلاه، فناجى فيه ربه، وقال: يا رب ماذا الحادث الذى قد حدث في آل ابراهيم وأولاد الانبياء؟ هذا إسحاق ابني قد سقط عنه سرته ولم تسقط عنه غلفته؟! فأوحى الله إليه: أن يا إبراهم هذا لما عيرت سارة هاجر فآليت ألا أسقط ذلك عن أحد من أولاد الانبياء بعد تعيير سارة هاجر، فاختن إسحاق بالحديد، وأذقه حر الحديد،

So Ibrahim-as stood upon his-as Prayer mat, and whispered to his-as Lord-azwj and said: ‘O Lord-azwj! What is this event which has occurred in the Progeny of Ibrahim-as and the children of the Prophets-as? This is Is’haq-as, my-as son-as. His-as navel has fallen off from him-as but his wrapping has not fallen off from him-as?’ So Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-as: “This is due to what Sarah-as taunted Hajar-as with. Therefore, I-azwj Wish that, that would not fall from anyone from the children of the Prophets-as after the taunting of Sarah-as upon Hajar-as”. Therefore he-as circumcised Is’haq-as with the iron, and he-as tasted the heat of the iron.

قال فختنه إبراهيم بالحديد، فجرت السنة بالختان في إسحاق بعد ذلك.

The Imam-asws said: ‘So Ibrahim-as circumcised him-as with the iron, and the Sunnah flowed by the circumcision with regards to Is’haq-as, after that’.[1022]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد، عن حريز، عن محمد بن أسحاق، قال: قال أبو – جعفر (ع) مرة: أتدرى من أين صارت مهور النساء أربعة آلاف؟ – قلت: لا، قال: إن ابنة أبى سفيان كانت بالحبشة فخطبها النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فساق عنه النجاشي أربعة آلاف درهم، فمن ثمة ترى هؤلاء يأخذون به، فأما المهر فاثنا عشرة أوقية ونش

From him, from his father, from Hamaad, from Hareyz, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Do you know from where the dowry of the women has come to be four thousand?’ I said, ‘No’. A daughter of Abu Sufyan was in Ethiopia, so the Prophet-saww addressed her. So Najjashi bound it at four thousand Dirhams from it. So the one who sees those, so he should take by it. So, as for the dowry, it is twelve ounces (of gold) and nothing more nor less.[1023]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن يحيى، عن حماد بن عثمان، قال: قال أبو جعفر (ع): قبض رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله على صوم ثلاثة أيام في الشهر، وقال يعدلن الدهر ويذهبن بوحر الصدر، قلت: كيف صارت هذه الايام هي التى تصام؟ – فقال: إن من قبلنا من الامم إذا نزل عليهم العذاب نزل في هذه الايام، فصام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله الايام المخوفة.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hamaad Bin Usmaan who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww Fasted three days in the month, and said: ‘The proportion of the time takes away the heat of the chest’. I said, ‘How did these three days come to be the ones in which to Fast?’ So he-asws said: ‘The communities from before us, when the Punishment descended upon them, it descended during these days, therefore Rasool-Allah-saww Fasted these frightening days’.[1024]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محسن بن أحمد، عن أبان، عن إسحاق بن عمار، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله مشى في جنازة سعد بغير رداء، فقيل له: يا رسول الله تمشى بغير رداء؟ – فقال: إنى رأيت الملائكة تمشى بغير أردية فأحببت أن أتأسى بهم

From him, from his father, from Mohsin Bin Ahmad, from Abaan, from Is’haq Bin Amaar who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww walked in the funeral of Sa’ad, without a robe. So it was said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww are walking without a robe?’ So he-saww said: ‘I-saww saw the Angels walking without robes, so I-saww loved it that I-saww should do the same’.[1025]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن محمد بن سليمان و يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن أبى الحسن الثاني (ع) والحسين بن سيف، عن محمد بن سليمان، عن أبى الحسن (ع) (كذا) وعنه، عن أبيه، وعلى بن عيسى الانصاري القاسانى، عن أبى – سليمان الديلمى، قال: سألت أبا الحسن الثاني (ع) عن رجل استغاث به قوم لينقذهم من قوم يغيرون عليهم ليبيحوا أموالهم ويسبوا ذراريهم ونساءهم، فخرج الرجل يعدو بسلاحه في جوف الليل ليغيثهم، فمر برجل قام على شفير البئر يستقى منها، فدفعه وهو لا يعلم ولا يريد ذلك فسقط في البئر ومات، ومضى الرجل فاستنقذ أموال الذين استغاثوا به،

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman and Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Abu Al-Hassan the 2nd -asws; and Al Husayn Bin Sayf, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Abu Al-Hassan-asws; and from him, from his father, and Ali Bin Isa Al Ansary Al Qasany, from Abu Suleyman Al-Daylami who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan the 2nd -asws about a man who was asked for help by a people who were being raided by some people, looting their money, and captivating their offspring and their women. So the man went out with nothing more than his weapon in the middle of the night in order to help them. So he passed by a man who was standing by the brink of the well, drawing water from it. So he repulsed him, and he did not know, nor did he intend that, so he fell down the well and died. So the man went away, and he recovered the wealth for which he had been sought the help for.

فلما انصرف قالوا: ما صنعت؟ – قال: قد سلموا وآمنوا، قالوا: أشعرت أن فلانا سقط في البئر فمات؟ – قال: أنا والله طرحته، خرجت أعدو بسلاحي في ظلمة الليل وأنا أخاف الفوت على القوم الذين استغاثوا بى، فمررت بفلان وهو قائم يستقى من البئر فزحمته ولم أرد ذلك فسقط في البئر فعلى من دية هذا؟

So when he left, they said, ‘What did you do?’ He said, ‘You have become safe and secure’. They said, ‘We have been notified that so and so fell down the well and died?’ He said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I tossed him. I went out with my weapon in the darkness of the night, and I feared the loss of the people who sought help from me, so I passed by so and so, and he was standing drawing water from the well. I confronted him, and I did not intend that, but he fell in the well’. So, upon whom is the blood-money compensation for this?

قال: ديته على القوم الذين استنجدوا الرجل فأنجدهم وأنقذ أموالهم ونساءهم وذراريهم، أما لو كان آجر نفسه بأجرة لكانت الدية عليه وعلى عاقلته دونهم، وذلك أن سليمان بن داود (ع) أتته امرأة عجوزة مستعدية على الريح، فدعا سليمان الريح، فقال لها: ما دعاك إلى ما صنعت بهذه المرأة؟ – قالت: إن رب العزة بعثنى إلى سفينة بنى فلان لانقذها من الغرق وكانت قد أشرفت على الغرق، فخرجت في سنن عجلى إلى ما أمرنى الله به، فمررت بهذه المرأة و هي على سطحها، فعثرت بها ولم أردها فسقطت فانكسرت يدها،

He-asws said: ‘The blood-money is upon the people who called the man (for help), for he rescued them and saved their wealth, and their women, and their offspring. But, if he had recompensed himself with a wage, the blood-money would have been upon him and upon his rationale, besides them. And that is, (because) Suleyman Bin Dawood-as, an old woman came up to him-as, assisted upon by the wind. So Suleyman-as beckoned the wind and said to it: ‘I-as did not call you except for what you did by this woman?’ It said, ‘The Lord-azwj of Honour Sent me to a ship of the Clan of so and so, in order to rescue her from drowning, and she had overseen the sinking (of the ship). So I hastily went out to what my Lord-azwj had Commanded me with. So I passed by this woman and she was upon its surface. I came by her and did not surround her, so she fell and broke her hand’.

فقال سليمان: يا رب بما أحكم على الريح؟ – فأوحى الله إليه، يا سليمان احكم بأرش كسر هذه المرأة على أرباب السفينة التى أنقذها الريح من الغرق، فانه لا يظلم لذى أحد من العالمين.

So Suleyman-as said: ‘O Lord-azwj! With what did You-azwj Command the wind?’ So Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-as: “O Suleyman! I-azwj Judged the compensation to be the breaking of the arm of this woman upon the owners of the ship which the wind rescued from the drowning’. Allah-azwj does not do injustice to anyone from the worlds’.[1026]

عنه، عن أبيه وعلى بن عيسى الانصاري، عن محمد بن سليمان الديلمى، عن أبى خالد الهيثم الفارسى قال: سئل أبو الحسن الثاني (ع) كيف صار الزوج إذا قذف إمرأته كانت شهادته أربع شهادات بالله؟ – وكيف لم يجز لغيره؟ – وإذا قذفها غير الزوج جلد الحد ولو كان أخا أو ولدا؟

From him, from his father and Ali Bin Isa Al Ansary, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from Abu Khalid Al Haysam Al Farsy who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 2nd was asked, ‘How it came to be that the husband, when he slanders his wife, his testimony are four testimonies with Allah-azwj! And how come it is not allowed for someone else? And if someone other than the husband slanders her, he would be flogged by one lash, even though it may be a brother or a parent?’

قال: قد سئل جعفر بن محمد (ع) عن هذا فقال: ألا ترى أنه إذا قذف الزوج امرأته قيل له: وكيف علمت أنها فاعلة؟ – قال: ” رأيت ذلك بعينى ” كانت شهادته أربع شهادات بالله، وذلك أنه يجوز للزوج أن يدخل المدخل في الخلوة التى لا يجوز لغيره أن يدخلها، ولا يشهدها ولد ولا والد في الليل والنهار، فلذلك صارت شهادته أربع شهادات إذا قال: ” رأيت بعينى “، وإذا قال: ” لم أعاين ” صار قاذفا في حد غيره، وضرب الحد إلا أن يقيم البينة،

The Imam-asws said: ‘Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws had been asked about this, so he-asws said: ‘Do you not see that when the husband slanders his wife, it is said to him, ‘And how did you know that she did it?’ He says, ‘I saw that by my own eyes’. His testimony (equates to) four testimonies with Allah-azwj. And that is (because) it is allowable for the husband that he can enter the doorway in privacy which is not allowable for someone else to enter it, not does the son, nor the parent can see it in the day and the night. So it is due to that, his testimony (equates to) four testimonies, when he says, ‘I saw it with my own eyes. And if he says, ‘I did not see it with my own eyes’, his slander would be subject to a Limit of someone else, and he would be struck by the Limit unless he establishes the evidence.

وإن غير الزوج إذا قذف وادعى أنه رأى ذلك بعينيه قيل له: وأنت كيف رأيت ذلك بعينيك؟ وما أدخلك ذلك المدخل الذى رأيت هذا وحدك؟ أنت متهم في دعواك وان كنت صادقا وأنت في حد التهمة فلابد من أدبك بالحد الذى أوجبه الله عليك، وانما صارت شهادة الزوج أربع شهادات بالله لمكان الاربع الشهداء، مكان كل شاهد يمين،

And if someone other than the husband slanders and claims that he saw it with his own eyes, it is said to him, ‘And you, how did you see that with your own eyes? And what made you enter the doorway alone where you saw this? You are guilty in your claim, even if you are truthful, and you are within a Limit of the accusation, therefore it is inevitable that you be educated (taught a lesson) with the Limit which Allah-azwj has Obligated upon you’. But rather, the testimony of the husband (equates to) four testimonies with Allah-azwj in place of the four testimonies, (one) in place of each sworn testimony’.

قال: وسألته كيف صارت عدة المطلقة ثلاث حيض أو ثلاثة أشهر، وصار في المتوفى عنها زوجها أربعة أشهر وعشرا؟ – قال: أما عدة المطلقة ثلاث حيضات أو ثلاثة أشهر لاستبراء الرحم من الولد، وأما المتوفى عنها زوجها، فان الله شرط للنساء شرطا فلم يحابهن فيه، وشرط عليهن شرطا فلم يحمل عليهن فيما شرط لهن، بل شرط عليهن مثل ما شرط لهن

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him-asws, ‘How did the waiting period of the divorced woman came to be three menstruation or three months, and came to be for the one whose husband had died (widow), four months and ten (days)?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘As for the waiting period of the divorced being three menstruation, or three months, is for the purgation of the womb from the birth. And as for the one whose husband has died (widow), so Allah-azwj Placed a condition to the women, that they would not get married during it, and did not Burden them with the condition that Allah-azwj Placed upon them, but Allah-azwj Imposed a condition against them what Allah-azwj Stipulated for them.

فاما ما شرط عليهن فانه جعل لهن في الايلاء أربعة أشهر، لانه علم أن ذلك غاية صبر النساء، فقال في كتابه: ” للذين يؤلون من نسائهم تربص أربعة أشهر ” فلم يجز للرجال أكثر من أربعة أشهر في الايلاء، لانه علم أن ذلك غاية صبر النساء عن الرجال

So as for the condition that Allah-azwj Placed upon them with regards to the swearing, it is four months. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is saying [2:226] Those who swear that they will not go in to their wives should wait four months. Thus, it is not Permissible for anyone to wait for more than four months with regards to the swear, for the Blessed and High Knows that it is the limit of the patience of the woman from the man.

وأما ما شرط عليهن، فقال: ” عدتهن أربعة أشهر وعشرا ” يعنى إذا توفى عنها زوجها، فأوجب عليها إذا أصيبت بزوجها وتوفى عنها مثل ما أوجب لها في حياته إذا آلى منها، وعلم أن غاية صبر المرأة أربعة أشهر في ترك الجماع، فمن ثم أوجبه عليها ولها.

And as for what condition is upon them, so Allah-azwj Said [2:234] they should keep themselves in waiting for four months and ten days, meaning if her husband were to die on her. So He-azwj Obligated upon her, similarly, that if she has been hit by the death of her husband what Allah-azwj Obligated upon her during his lifetime, if he were to swear from her, and Allah-azwj Knows that the limit of the patience of the woman is four months, with regards to the neglecting of the copulation. So from then He-azwj Enjoined it to her and upon her’.[1027]

عنه، عن أبيه ومحمد بن على، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن رجل من أهل – الجزيزه، قال: سألت أبا الحسن الرضا (ع) عن قوم كسرت بهم سفينتهم في البحر فخرجوا عراة ليس عليهم إلا مناديل متزرين بها فإذا هم برجل ميت عريان وليس على القوم فضل ثوب يوارون به الرجل، وكيف يصلون عليه وهو عريان؟ – فقال: إذا كانوا كذلك فليحفروا قبره وليضعوه في لحده ويواروا عورته بلبن أو حجارة أو تراب، ويصلون عليه ويوارونه في قبره، قلت: ولا يصلى عليه وهو مدفون؟ – قال: لا، لو جاز ذلك لاحد لجاز لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بل لا يصلى على المدفون ولا على العريان.

From him, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from a man from the people of Algiers who said, said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Al Reza-asws about a people whose ship broke up in the sea. So they came out naked, and they had nothing upon them except for scanty coverings. So there was a man who had died naked and there was nothing with the people to clothe the nakedness of the man with. And how should they have Prayed (Salaat) over him and he was naked?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘If it was like that, they should dig out his grave, and place him on the brink of it, cover him up with milk, or stones, or dust, and Pray over him, and bury him in his grave’. I said, ‘And not Pray over him when he is buried?’ He-asws said: ‘No. If that was allowed for anyone, if would have been allowed for Rasool-Allah-saww. But, neither Pray over the buried one, nor the naked’.[1028]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن الديلمى، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): من الخف والظلف يدفع إلى المتجملين، وأما الصدقة من الذهب والفضة وما أخرجت الارض فللفقراء، فقلت: ولم صار هذا هكذا؟ – قال: لان هؤلاء يتجملون، يستحيون من الناس، فيدفع أجمل الامرين عند الصدقة، وكل صدقة.

From him, from his father, from Ibn Al Dulaymi, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘From the shoes and the outfits, hand these over to the elegant ones (among the needy), but as for the charity from the gold and the silver and whatever comes from the earth, so it is for the poor (folks)’. So I said, ‘And why did this become like this?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Those ones are dressing up elegantly being embarrassed from the people (without good clothing), so hand over the elegant from the two matters with the charity, and all of it is charity’.[1029]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن هارون بن الجهم، عن محمد بن مسلم، قال: كنت عند أبى عبد الله بمنى إذا أقبل أبو حنيفة على حمار له، فاستأذن على أبى عبد الله (ع) فأذن له، فلما جلس قال لابي عبد الله (ع): إنى أريد أن أقايسك، فقال أبو عبد الله (ع): ليس في دين الله قياس ولكن أسألك عن حمارك هذا فيم أمره؟ – قال: عن أي أمره تسأل؟

From him, from his father, from Haroun Bin Al Jaham, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws at Mina, when Abu Hanifa came over upon a donkey of his. So he sought permission to (see) Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws gave him permission. So when he was seated, he said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I intend to analogise’. So Abu Adullah-asws said: ‘Analogy is not in the Religion of Allah-azwj, but I-asws ask you about your donkey. Is this without its matter?’ He said, ‘And which matter of it are you-asws asking about?’

– قال: أخبرني عن هاتين النكتتين اللتين بين يديه، ما هما؟ – فقال أبو حنيفة: خلق في الدواب كخلق أذنيك وأنفك في رأسك، فقال له أبو عبد الله (ع): خلق الله أذنى لاسمع بهما، وخلق عينى لابصر بهما، وخلق أنفى لاجد به الرائحة الطيبة والمنتنة، ففيما خلق هذان؟ – وكيف نبت الشعر على جميع جسده ما خلا هذا الموضع؟ – فقال أبو حنيفة: سبحان الله أتيتك أسألك عن دين الله، وتسألني عن مسائل الصبيان! فقام وخرج،

The Imam-asws said: ‘Inform me-asws about these two points (palms) which are in your hands, what are these two?’ So Abu Haneefa said: ‘There has been Created for the animal the like of the creation of your-asws ears, and your-asws neck in your-asws head’. So Abu Abdullah-asws said to him: ‘And how come the hair grows upon the whole of the body except for this place?’ So Abu Haneefa said: ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! I came to you-asws to ask you-asws about the Religion of Allah-azwj, and you-asws are asking me a question about the young ones (small things)?’ So he stood up and left.

قال محمد بن مسلم: فقلت له: جعلت فداك سألته عن أمر أحب أن أعلمه، فقال: يا محمد إن الله تبارك وتعالى يقول في كتابه: ” لقد خلقنا الانسان في كبد ” يعنى منتصبا في بطن أمه، مقاديمه ألى مقاديم أمه، ومواخيره إلى مواخير أمه، غذاؤه مما تأكل أمه، ويشرب مما تشرب أمه، تنسمه تنسيما، وميثاقه الذى أخذه الله عليه بين عينيه، فإذا دنا ولادته أتاه ملك يسمى الزاجر، فيزجره، فينقلب، فيصير مقاديمه إلى مواخير أمه، ومواخيره ألى مقاديم أمه، ليسهل الله على المرأة والولد أمره، ويصيب ذلك جميع الناس إلا إذا كان عاتيا، فإذا زجره فزع وانقلب ووقع إلى الارض باكيا من زجرة الزاجر، ونسى الميثاق،

Muhammad Bin Muslim said, ‘So I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You-asws asked about a matter, I would love to know it’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘O Muhammad! Allah-azwj Blessed and High is Saying in His-azwj Book [90:4] Certainly We have created man to be in distress – Meaning standing upright in the belly of his mother. His feet being towards the feet of his mother and his head being towards the head of his mother. His food is from what his mother eats, and drinks from what his mother drinks, and smells it by her smelling, and his Covenant which Allah-azwj Took from him is in front of his eyes. So when his birth approaches, an Angel called Zaajar comes to him, to rebuke, so he turns him – his feet towards the head of his mother, and his head towards the feet of his mother. Allah-azwj Makes the birth easier for his mother, and that affects all the people except when he was fierce. So when he is expelled, he panics and turn and falls upon the earth crying from the rebuke of Al-Zaajar, and forgets the Covenant’.

وإن الله خلق جميع البهائم في بطون أمهاتها منكوسين، مقدمها إلى مواخر أمهاتها ومؤخرها إلى مقدم أمهاتها، وهى تربض في الارحام منكوسة، قد أدخل رأسه بين يديه ورجليه، يأخذ الغذاء من أمه، فإذا دنا ولادتها انسلت إنسلالا وموضع أعينها في بطون أمهاتها، وهاتان النكتتان اللتان بين أيديها كلها موضع أعينها في بطون أمهاتها، وما في عراقيبها موضع مناخيرها، لا ينبت عليه الشعر،

And Allah-azwj Created all the animals in the bellies of its mothers as inverted. Its feet being towards the head of its mother, and its head being towards the feet of its mother, and it lies down inverted in the womb of its mother, with its head being entered in between its hands and its feet. It takes its food from its mother. So these two are the two points which are in its hands (palms), all of these are placed upon the eyes in the womb of its mother, and what was in its front it in its end, the hair does not grow upon it.

وهو للدواب كلها ما خلا البعير فان عنقه طال فنفذ رأسه بين قوائمه في بطن أمه.

And it is for all of the animals except for the camels, for its neck it long, so its head is in between its limbs in the belly of its mother.

قال: وقال أبو جعفر (ع): أيما ظئر قوم قتلت صبيا لهم وهى نائم انقلبت عليه فقتلته فان عليها الدية من مالها خاصة إن كانت انما ظأرت طلب العز والفخر، وإن كانت أنما ظأرت من الفقر فان الدية على عاقلتها.

He said: ‘And Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Wherever there is a people which killed its young one whilst it is asleep, turning it, so they killed it. Therefore, upon it is the blood-money compensation from its wealth especially if it was for the seeking of the honour and the pride, but if it was out of poverty, so the blood-money is on rationale’.[1030]

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن هارون بن مسلم، عن ابن بكير، عن عبيد بن زرارة، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن رجل أخرج زكوة ماله، ألف درهم، فلم يجد مؤمنا يدفع ذلك إليه، فنظر إلى مملوك يباع فاشتراه بتلك الالف درهم التى أخرجها من زكوته فأعتقه، هل يجوز ذلك؟ – قال: نعم، لا بأس بذلك، قلت: فانه لما أعتق وصار حرا اتجر واحترف فأصاب مالا كثيرا ثم مات وليس له وارث فمن يرثه إذا لم يكن له وارث؟ – قال: يرثه الفقراء من المؤمنين الذين يستحقون الزكوة لانه إنما اشترى بمالهم

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Ibn Bakeyr, from Ubeyd Bin Zarara who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a man who took out Zakaat of his wealth, one thousand Dirhams. So he could not find a Believer to hand that over to him. So he looked at the slaves being sold. So he bought him with those one thousand Dirham which he had taken it out from his Zakaat, and freed him. Is that allowed?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes. There is no problem with that’. I said, ‘So when he emancipated him, and he became free, he (the freed slave) took up trading as his profession and collected a lot of wealth, then died, and there was no heir for him to inherit. So who would inherit when there is no heir for him?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘The poor from the Believers would inherit from him, those who were deserving of the Zakaat, because he had been bought from their wealth’.[1031]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن إسماعيل بن مهران، عن حسين بن خالد، قال: سئل أبو عبد الله (ع) عن رجل قطع رأس ميت؟ – فقال: إن الله حرم منه ميتا كلما حرم منه حيا فمن فعل بميت فعلا يكون في مثله اجتياح نفس الحى فعليه الدية كاملة،

From him, from his father, from Ismail Bin Mahran, from Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘Abu Ja’far was asked about a man who cut the head of a dead person?’ So he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Forbidden from it to do with a dead person all that has been Forbidden for a live person. So, the one who does this with a dead person, there would become in it an annihilation of a soul of the live person. Therefore, upon him would be the complete blood-money compensation’.

فسألت عن ذلك أبا الحسن (ع) فقال: صدق أبو عبد الله (ع)، هكذا قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، قلت: فمن قطع رأس ميت أو شق بطنه أو فعل به ما يكون اجتياح نفس الحى فعليه دية النفس كاملة؟! – قال: لا، ولكن ديته دية الجنين في بطن أمه أن ينشأ فيه الروح، وذلك مائة دينار وهى لورثته، ودية هذا هي له لا للورثة،

So I asked Abu Al-Hassan-asws about that, so he-asws said: ‘Abu Abdullah-asws spoke the truth, this is what Rasool-Allah-azwj said’. I said, ‘So the one who cuts off the head of a dead person, or slits open his body, or does with it what would become an annihilation of the live soul, so upon him would be the complete blood-money compensation?’ He-asws said: ‘No, but his blood-money would be the blood-money of the foetus in the belly of its mother in which the soul has arisen, and that is one hundred Dinars, and it would be for his heirs, whilst this blood-money, it is for him, not for his heirs’.

قلت: فما الفرق بينهما؟ – قال إن الجنين أمر مستقبل مرجو نفعه، وهذا أمر قد مضى وذهبت منفعته، فلما مثل به بعد موته صارت دية تلك له لا لغيره يحج بها عنه ويفعل بها أبواب البر من صدقة أو غيره، قلت: فان أراد الرجل أن يحفر له بئرا ليغسله في الحفرة، فيدير به فمالت مسحاته في يده فأصابت بطنه فشقه فما عليه؟ – قال: إذا كان هكذا فهو خطاء وكفارته عتق رقبة، أو صيام شهرين متتابعين، أو صدقة على ستين مسكينا، مد لكل مسكين بمد النبي صلى الله عليه وآله.

I said, ‘So what is the different between these two?’ He-asws said: ‘The foetus is a matter of the future, hopeful of its benefits, and this matter has expired and its benefits have gone. So when it is compared by it after its death, its blood-money would come to be for it not for someone else. (For example) Going to Hajj by it for his behalf, or to do with it the doors of righteousness from charities, or something similar’. I said, ‘So if the man intends that he should dig a well for him, to wash him in the pit, so he turns him, so the spade in his hand strikes him and his belly gets split , so what is upon him?’ He-asws said: ‘So if it was like that, so he has erred and his expiation would be to emancipate a neck, or Fasting for two months consecutively, or charity to sixty poor persons, a ‘Mudd’ (handful) for every poor with a ‘Mudd’ of the Prophet-saww’.[1032]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن الفضل بن إسماعيل الهاشمي، عن أبيه، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) أو أبا الحسن (ع) عن امرأة زنت فأتت بولد، وأقرت عند إمام المسلمين بأنها زانية، وأن ولدها ذلك من الزنا، وأن ذلك الولد نشأ حتى صار رجلا فافترى عليه رجل فكم يجلد من افترى عليه؟ – قال: يجلد ولا يجلد؟! قلت: كيف يجلد ولا يجلد؟ – قال: من قال: ” يا ولد الزنا ” لا يجلد، إنما يعزر، وهو دون الحد، ومن قال: ” يا بن الزانية ” جلد الحد تاما، قلت: وكيف صار هكذا؟ – قال: لانه إذا قال: ” يا ولد الزنا ” فقد صدق فيه، وإذا قال: ” يا بن الزانية ” جلد الحد تاما لفريته عليها بعد اظهارها التوبة وإقامة الامام عليها الحد.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Al fazal Bin Ismail Al Hashimi, from his father who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws, or Abu Al-Hassan-asws, about a woman adulteress, so she came with a child, and accepted in the presence of an Imam of the Muslim that she is an adulteress, and that child of hers is from the adultery. And that child grows until he becomes a man. So a man slanders him, so how many lashes should there be for the one who slanders against him?’

The Imam-asws said: ‘He should be lashed and not lashed’. I said, ‘How can he be lashed and not lashed?’ He-asws said: ‘The one who said, ‘O son of adultery’, would not be lashed, but would be punished (instead with another punishment) and it would be besides the lashing. And the one who says, ‘O son of adulteress’, would be lashed fully, for it would be a slander against her after she had manifested the repentance and the Imam had (already) established the Limit against her’.[1033]

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن يحيى بن الحر الخراساني، قال: سأل رجل أبا عبد الله (ع) وأنا حاضر، ما حال سبة الرجال يثبت وسبة المرأة لا يثبت؟ – فقال: إن الله حمى ذلك من الرجال وجعله مرعى في النساء

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Yahya Bin Al Hurr Al Khurasany who said, ‘A man asked Abu Abdullah-asws and I was present, ‘What is the state of the men to that of the women?

So he-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Guarded that from the men, and Made it as a meadow for the women’.[1034]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن عمرو بن عثمان، عن الحسن بن خالد، قال: قلت لابي – الحسن موسى (ع): أخبرني عن المحصن إذا هرب من الحفرة، هل يرد حتى يقام عليه الحد؟ – فقال: يرد ولا يرد قلت: فكيف ذلك؟ – قال: إن كان هو أقر على نفسه ثم هرب من الحفرة بعدما يصيبه شئ من الحجارة يرد، وإن كان إنما قامت عليه البينة وهو يجحد ثم هرب رد وهو صاغر، حتى يقام عليه الحد،

From him, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Al Hassan Bin Khalid who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah Al-Hassan Musa-asws, ‘Inform me about the married man if he were to flee from the pit (being stoned due to adultery), should he be returned until the Limit is established upon him?’ So he-asws said: ‘Returned and not returned’. I said, ‘And how can that be?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘If he was one who had accepted upon himself, then flees from the pit after having been wounded by something from the stones, so he should be returned. And if the evidence had been established against him, and he was fighting against it, then flees, so he should be returned having been belittled, until the Limit is established upon him.

وذلك أن مالك بن ماغر بن مالك أقر عند رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فأمر به أن يرجم، فهرب من الحفرة، فرماه الزبير بن – العوام بساق بعير، فعقله به فسقط، فلحقه الناس، فقتلوه، فأخبر النبي صلى الله عليه وآله بذلك، فقال: هلا تركتموه يذهب إذا هرب، فانما هو الذى أقر على نفسه، وقال، أما لو أنى حاضركم لما طلبتم قال: ووداه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من مال المسلمين

And that is that Malik Bin Magar Bin Malik accepted in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww, so Rasool-Allah-saww ordered for him to be stoned, but, he escaped from the pit. Al-Zubeyr Bin Al-Awaan stoned him at the base of the well. He met him and felled him, so the people came over and killed him. So the Prophet-saww was informed about that, so he-saww said: ‘If only you had not left him and gone, when he fled. But rather, he is the one who accepted upon himself’. And he-saww said: ‘If I-saww was present I-saww would not have sought him’. He-asws said: ‘And Rasool-Allah-saww bid him farewell from the wealth of the Muslims’.[1035]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن عبد الرحمن بن حماد، عمن حدثه، عن عمر بن يزيد، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): أخبرني عن الغائب عن أهله يزنى، هل يرجم أذا كانت له زوجة وهو غائب عنها؟ – قال: لا يرجم الغائب عن أهله، ولا المملك الذى لم يبن بأهله، ولا صاحب المتعة، قلت: ففى أي حد سفره ولا يكون؟ – قال: إذا قصر وأفطر فليس بمحصن.

From him, from his father, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hamaad, from the one who narrated it, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Inform me about the absentee from his wife, he commits adultery. Should he be stoned when he had a wife and he was absent from her?’ He-asws said: ‘The one absent from his wife is not to be stoned, nor the slave who had not built his family, nor the one who had done Mut’ah’. I said, ‘So what Limit should there be, if any?’ He-asws said: ‘If he is restricted, and not Fasting (أفطر) so he is not with marriage’.[1036]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن محبوب، عن ابن رئاب، عن ابن سوقة، عن أبى – جعفر (ع) في رجل افتض امرأته أو أمته فرأت دما كثيرا لا ينقطع عنها يومها، قال: تمسك – الكرسف معها، فان خرجت القطنة مطوقة بالدم فانه من العذرة، فتغتسل وتمسك معها قطنة وتصلى، وان خرجت القطنة منغمسة في الدم فهو من الطمث، فتقعد عن الصلوة أيام الحيض.

From him, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’aib, from Ibn Sowqat,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far-asws regarding a man who deflowered his wife or his slave girl, so he saw a lot of blood which did not stop from her that day’. The Imam-asws said: ‘Hold it with cotton, so if the cotton comes out enclosed in blood, so it is from her virginity. So she should wash, and hold it with cotton, and Pray, And if the cotton comes out bogged down in blood, so it is from the menstruation. So she should sit back from the Prayer for the days of the menstruation’.[1037]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن خلف بن حماد الكوفى، قال: تزوج بعض أصحابنا جارية معصرا لم تطمث، فلما افتضها سال الدم فمكث سائلا لا ينقطع نحوا من عشرة أيام، قال: فأروها القوابل ومن ظنوا أنه يبصر ذلك من النساء، فاختلفن، فقال بعضهن: هذا دم الحيض، وقال بعضهن: هو دم العذرة، فسألوا عن ذلك فقهائهم، فقالوا: هذا شئ قد أشكل علينا والصلوة فريضة واجبة، فلتتوضأ ولتصل وليمسك عنها زوجها حتى ترى لبياض، فان كان دم الحيض لم تضرها الصلوة، وإن كان دم العذرة كانت قد أدت الفريضة، ففعلت الجارية ذلك وحججت في تلك السنة،

From him, from his father, from Khalaf Bin Hamaad Al Kufy who said,

‘One of our companions married a young girl who had yet to menstruate. When blood was shed, it kept on flowing and was not cut-off for approximately ten days. So the midwives looked at it and guessed that such was seen from the women. So they differed over it. Some of them said, ‘This is the blood of menstruation’; and some of them said, ‘It is the blood of virginity’. So I asked some of their jurists who said, ‘This is something which has created problems to us, and the Prayer is a necessary Obligation. Therefore, she should perform ablution and Pray, and her husband should keep away from her until he sees whiteness. So if it was the blood of menstruation, the Prayer would not harm her, and if it was the blood of virginity, she would have fulfilled the Prayer’. So the maid did that, and went on Pilgrimage during that year.

فلما صرنا بمنى بعثت إلى أبى الحسن موسى (ع) فقلت: جعلت فداك إن لنا مسألة قد ضقنا بها ذرعا فان رأيت أن تأذن لى فأتيك فأسألك عنها؟ – فبعث إلى: إذا هدأت الرجل وانقطع الطريق فأقبل إن شآء الله،

So when we were at Mina, I sent a message to Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you! We have a question which has been troubling us, so I think that if you-asws could give permission, I can come to you-asws and ask you-asws about it?’ So he-asws sent a message to me: ‘When the man cuts off your way, so come, if Allah-azwj so Desires’.

قال خلف: فرعيت الليل حتى إزا رأيت الناس قد قل اختلافهم بمنى توجهت إلى مضربه، فلما كنت قريبا إذا أنا بأسود قاعد على الطريق، فقال: من الرجل؟ – فقلت: رجل من الحاج، قال: ما اسمك؟ – قلت: خلف بن حماد، قال: ادخل بغير أذن، فقد أمرنى أن أقعد ههنا، فإذا أتيت أذنت لك، فدخلت فسلمت فرد على السلام وهو جالس على فراشه وحده ما في الفسطاط غيره،

Khalaf said, ‘So I was in a gathering during the night until I saw the people had reduced their differing at Mina, and directed themselves to the marquee. Soon I was by a black man sitting upon the road. So he said, ‘Who is the man?’ So I said, ‘A man from the Pilgrims’. He said, ‘What is your name?’ I said, ‘Khalaf Bin Hamaad’. He said, ‘Enter, without permission (knocking), for he-asws has ordered me that I should sit over here. So when you come over, I should allow you’. So I entered (the tent) and greeted. So the Imam-asws returned the greeting and he-asws was seated upon his-asws bed, alone. There was no one in the tent apart from him-asws’.

فلما صرت بين يديه سألني عن حالى، فقلت له: إن رجلا من مواليك تزوج جارية معصرا لم تطمث، فافترعها زوجها فغلب الدم سائلا نحوا من عشرة أيام لم ينقطع، وإن القوابل اختلفن في ذلك، فقال بعضهن: دم – الحيض، وقال بعضهن: دم العذرة، فما ينبغى لها أن تصنع؟ – قال فلتتق الله فان كان من الحيض فلتمسك عن الصلوة حتى ترى الطهر وليمسك عنها بعلها، وان كان من العذرة فلتتق الله ولتتوضأ ولتصل وليأتها بعلها إن أحب ذلك،

So when I came in front of him-asws, he-asws asked me about my state. So I said to him-asws, ‘A man from the ones in your-asws Wilayah married a young maid who had yet to menstruate. So her husband deflowered her, and the blood flowed overwhelmingly for approximately ten days, and would not cut off. And the midwives differed with regards to that, so some of them said, ‘Blood of the menstruation’, and some of them said, ‘Blood of the virginity’. So what is befitting for her to do?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘She should fear Allah-azwj, so if it was from the menstruation, she should withhold from the Prayer until she sees the cleanliness, and her husband should withhold from her. And if it was from the virginity, so she should fear Allah-azwj and perform ablution, and she should Pray, and her husband can come to her. And I-asws would like that’.

فقلت: وكيف لهم أن يعلموا مما هو حتى يفعلوا ما ينبغى؟ – قال: فالتفت يمينا وشمالا في الفسطاط مخافة أن يسمع كلامه أحد، قال: ثم نفذ إلى، فقال: يا خلف سر الله سر الله سر الله فلا تذيعوه، و لا تعلموا هذا الخلق أصول دين الله بل ارضوا لهم بما رضى الله لهم من ضلال،

So I said, ‘And how can they know from what it is, so that they can do what is befitting?’ He-asws looked towards the right and left in the tent, fearing that his-asws speech would be heard by someone, then reached towards me and said: ‘O Khalaf! Secret of Allah-azwj! Secret of Allah-azwj! Secret of Allah-azwj, therefore, do not broadcast it. And these people do not know the Fundamentals of the Religion (Usool Al-Deen) of Allah-azwj. But, be pleased with them with what Allah-azwj is Pleased with them, from the straying’.

(قال) ثم عقد بيده اليسرى تسعين، ثم قال: تستدخل قطنة ثم تدعها مليا ثم تخرجها إخراجا رقيقا، فان كان الدم مطوقا في القطنة فهو من العذرة، وإن كان مستنقعا في القطنة فهو من الحيض،

Then he-asws clasped his left hand, then said: ‘Enter the cotton (into her), then leave it for a while, then take is out slightly. So if the cotton was encircled with the blood, so is from the virginity, and if the blood was swamped in the cotton, so it is from the menstruation’.

قال خلف: فاستخفني الفرح فبكيت، فقال: ما أبكاك؟ – (بعد أن سكن بكائى) فقلت: جعلت فداك، من كان يحسن هذا غيرك؟ – قال: فرفع رأسه إلى السماء فقال: إى والله ما أخبرك إلا عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، عن جبرئيل، عن الله عزوجل.

Khalaf said, ‘I was overcome with joy, so I cried. He-asws said: ‘What makes you cry?’ (After I calmed down from my crying), I said, ‘Many I be sacrificed for you-asws! Who else is good at this apart from you-asws?’ He-asws raised his-asws head towards the sky and said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws do not inform you except from Rasool-Allah-saww, from Jibraeel-as, from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.[1038]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن على بن حمزة، عن أبى بصير، عن عمران بن ميثم، عن أبيه، (أو عن صالح بن ميثم، عن أبيه) قال: أتت أمرأة محج أمير المؤمنين (ع)، فقالت: يا أمير المؤمنين طهرني إنى زنيت، فطهرني طهرك الله، فان عذاب الدنيا أيسر على من عذاب الآخرة الذى لا ينقطع، فقال لها: مما أطهرك؟ – فقالت: إنى زنيت، فقال لها: أذات بعل أنت أم غير ذلك؟ – فقالت: ذات بعل، قال لها: أفحاضرا كان بعلك إذ فعلت ما فعلت أم غائبا؟ – قالت: بل حاضرا، فقال لها: انطلقي فضعى ما في بطنك، قال: فلما ولت عنه المرأة، فصارت حيث لا تسمع كلامه، قال: اللهم إنها شهادة،

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Hamza, from Abu Baseer, from Imran Bin Maysam, from his father (or from Salih Bin Maysam, from his father) who said,

‘A woman came pleading to Amir Al-Momineen-asws, so she said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Purify me from I have committed adultery, therefore purify me, may Allah-azwj Purify you-asws, for the Punishment of the world is easier to me than the Punishment of the Hereafter which will never be cut off’.

So Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to her: ‘From what shall I-asws purify you?’ So she said, ‘I committed adultery’. So he-asws said to her: ‘Have you got a husband, or not?’ So she said, ‘I do have a husband’. He-asws said to her: ‘Was your husband around, when you did what you did, or absent?’ She said, ‘But he was present’. So he-asws said to her: ‘Go, and place what is in your belly (give birth)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘When the woman was gone from him-asws, where she could not hear his-asws speech, Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! It is one testimony’.

فم يلبث أن عادت إليه المرأة، فقال: يا أمير – المؤمنين قد وضعت فطهرني، قال فتجاهل عليها، وقال: يا أمة الله أطهرك مماذا؟ – قالت: إنى زنيت فطهرني، قال: أو ذات بعل أنت إذ فعلت ما فعلت؟ – قالت: نعم، قال: فكان زوجك حاضرا إذ فعلت ما فعلت أو كان غائبا؟ – قالت: بل حاضرا، قال: انطلقي حتى ترضعيه حولين كاملين كما أمرك الله، فانصرفت المرأة، فلما صارت حيث لا تسمع كلامه قال: اللهم شهادتان،

It was not long before the woman returned to him-asws, so she said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I have placed (given birth), therefore, purify me’. He-asws ignored her and said: ‘O maid of Allah-azwj! Purify you from what?’ She said, ‘I committed adultery, so purify me’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Did you have a husband when you did what you did?’ She said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Was your husband around when you did what you did, or was he absent?’ She said, ‘But, he was present’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Go until you have weaned (the child) for two complete years just as Allah-azwj has Commanded you to do’.

So the woman left. So when she went to where she could not hear his-asws speech, Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Two testimonies’.

قال: فلما مضى حولين أتت المرأة، فقالت: قد أرضعته حولين فطهرني، قال: فتجاهل عليها، فقال، أطهرك مماذا؟ – قالت: إنى زنيت فطهرني، قال: أو ذات بعل أنت إذ فعلت ما فعلت؟ – قالت: نعم، قال: أو كان بعلك غائبا عنك إذ فعلت ما فعلت أم حاضرا؟ – قالت: بل حاضرا، قال: انطلقي فاكفليه حتى يعقل أن يأكل و يشرب ولا يتردى من السطح ولا يتهوى في بئر، فانصرفت وهى تبكى، فلما ولت وصارت حيث لا تسمع كلامه، قال: اللهم ثلاث شهادات،

He (the narrator) said, ‘So when two years had passed, the woman came up and said, ‘I have weaned him for two years, therefore, purify me’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws ignored her and said: ‘Purify you from what?’ She said, ‘I committed adultery, so purify me’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Did you have a husband when you did what you did?’ She said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Was he absent from you, when you did what you did, or present?’ She said, ‘But, present’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Go, and care for him (the child) until he achieves understanding, and eats and drinks (by himself), and does not fall off from the surface, nor into the well’. So she left and she was crying. So when she went where she could not hear his-asws speech, he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Three testimonies’.

قال: فاستقبلها عمرو بن حريث المخزومى، فقال: ما يبكيك يا أمة الله، فقد رأيتك تخلفين إلى أمير المؤمنين تسألينه أن يطهرك؟ – فقالت: أتيته فقلت له ما قد علمتموه، فقال: اكفليه حتى يعقل أن يأكل ويشرب و لا يتردى من سطح ولا يتهوى في بئر ولقد خفت أن يأتي على الموت ولم يطهرني، فقال لها عمرو: ارجعي فأنا أكفله،

He (the narrator) said, ‘Amro Bin Hareys Al-Makhzumy met her, so he said, ‘What makes you cry, O maid of Allah-azwj, for I saw you going to Amir Al-Momineen-asws asking him-asws that he-asws should purify you?’ So she said, ‘I came up to him-asws for what you know of, so he-asws said: ‘Take care of him until he achieves understanding, and eats and drinks (for himself), nor falls off from the surface, nor into the well. And I fear that the death might come upon me, and I have not been purified’. So Amro said to her, ‘Return, for I will look after him’.

فرجعت فأخبرت أمير المؤمنين (ع) بقول عمرو، فقال لها أمير المؤمنين (ع) وهو يتجاهل عليها: ولم يكفل عمرو ولدك؟ – قالت: يا أمير المؤمنين إنى زنيت فطهرني، فقال: ذات بعل أنت إذ فعلت ما فعلت؟ – قالت: نعم، قال: فغائب عنك بعلك إذ فعلت ما فعلت أم حاضر؟ – قالت: بل حاضر، قال فرفع رأسه إلى السماء فقال: اللهم إنه قد ثبت لك عليها أربع شهادات، فانك قد قلت لنبيك صلى الله عليه وآله فيما أخبرته به من دينك: يا محمد من عطل حدا من حدودى فقد عاندني وطلب مضادتى، اللهم فانى غير معطل حدودك، ولا طالب مضادتك ولا معاندتك، ولا مضيع لاحكامك، بل مطيع لك ومتبع سنة نبيك،

So she returned and informed Amir Al-Momineen-asws of the words of Amro. So, Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to her, ignoring her, ‘And why did Amro take the responsibility of your son?’ She said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I committed adultery, so purify me’. So he-asws said: ‘Did you have a husband when you did what you did?’ She said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘So, was he absent from you, when you did what you did, or was he present?’ She said, ‘But, present’. So Amir Al-Momineen-asws raised his-asws head towards the sky and said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Four testimonies have been affirmed against her, for You-azwj had Said to Your-azwj Prophet-saww with regards to what You-azwj Informed him-saww with from Your-azwj Religion: “O Muhammad-saww! The one who counteracts a Limit from My-azwj Limits so he has become obstinate to Me-azwj and sought to oppose Me-azwj”. O Allah-azwj! I-asws do not want to counter Your-azwj Limits, nor do I-asws seek to oppose You-azwj, nor to be obstinate to You-azwj, nor waste Your-azwj Regulations, but I-asws am obedient to You-azwj, and a follower of the Sunnah of Your-azwj Prophet-saww’.

قال: فنظر إليه عمرو بن حريث فكأنما تفقأ في وجهه الرمان، فلما رأى ذلك عمرو قال يا أمير المؤمنين إنى إنما أردت أن أكفله إذ ظننت أنك تحب ذلك، فأما إذ كرهته فانى لست أفعل، فقال له أمير المؤمنين (ع): بعد أربع شهادات؟! لكتفلنه وأنت صاغر،

He (the narrator) said, ‘So, Amro Bin Hareys looked at him as if he was glaring like the face of the pomegranate (red faced). So when Amro looked like that, he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! But rather, I intended to take responsibility for him thinking that you-asws would like that. So, if you dislike it, I shall not do it’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to him: ‘After four testimonies!? You are concealing it, and you have been made submissive’.

ثم قام أمير المؤمنين (ع) فصعد المنبر فقال: يا قنبر ناد في الناس: ” الصلوة جامعة ” فنادى قنبر في الناس، فاجتمعوا حتى غص المسجد بأهله، فقام أمير المؤمنين على بن أبى طالب صلوات الله عليه خطيبا، فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، وقال: يا أيها الناس إن إمامكم خارج بهذه المرأة إلى هذا الظهر ليقيم عليها الحد إن شاء اللله فعزم عليكم أمير المؤمنين إلا خرجتم متنكرين، ومعكم أحجاركم، لا ينصرف أحد منكم إلى أحد حتى تنصرفوا إلى منازلكم إن شاء الله،

Then Amir Al-Momineen-asws arose and ascended the Pulpit, so he-asws said: ‘O Qanbar, call out to the people, ‘The congregational Prayer!”. So Qanbar called out among the people. So they gathered until the Masjid was clogged with its people. So, Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws stood up (to give) sermon. So he-asws Prised Allah-azwj and Extolled Him-azwj, and said: ‘O you people! You Imam-asws would be going out with this woman to this back (yard) in order to establish the Limit against her, if Allah-azwj so Desires it. So, Amir Al-Momineen-asws determines that you should all come out disguised, and with you should be your stoned. Not one of you should leave anyone of you until you all return to your houses, if Allah-azwj so Desires’.

فلما أصبح بكرة خرج بالمرأة، وخرج الناس متنكرين متلثمين بعمائمهم وأرديتهم والحجارة في أرديتهم وفى أكمامهم، حتى انتهى بها والناس معه إلى ظهر الكوفة، فأمر فحفر لها بئر، ثم دفنها إلى حقويها، ثم ركب بغلته فأثبت رجليه في غرز الركاب ثم وضع اصبعيه السبابتين في أذنيه، ثم نادى بأعلى صوته، فقال: يا أيها الناس إن الله تبارك وتعالى عهد إلى نبيه صلى الله عليه وآله وعهده محمد صلى الله عليه وآله إلى بأنه لا يقيم الحد من لله عليه حد، فمن كان لله تبارك وتعالى عليه ماله عليها فلا يقيمن عليها الحد،

So when it was the morning, he-asws went out with the woman, and the people came out disguised by their turbans, and their cloaks, and the stones were in their hands and in their sleeves, until he-asws ended up with her, and the people to the back of Al-Kufa. So he-asws ordered for a pit to be dug out for her. Then he-asws had her buried up to her waist, then he-asws upon his-asws mule, placed his-asws feet in the reins, then placed his-asws two fingers in his-asws ears, then called out in a loud voice: ‘O you people! Allah-azwj Blessed and High Oathed to His-azwj Prophet-saww, and Muhammad-saww oathed it unto me-asws, that no one should establish the Limit against whom there is a Limit of Allah-azwj. So the one had upon him from Allah-azwj Blessed and High, what is there upon her, so he should not be establishing the Limit upon her’.

قال: فانصرف الناس ما خلا أمير المؤمنين (ع).

He (the narrator) said: ‘So the people dispersed, except for Amir Al-Momineen-asws’.[1039]

عنه، عن محمد بن على أبوسمينه، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن صباح الحذاء، عن إسحاق بن عمار، قال: قلت لابي الحسن (ع): ما تقول في رجل محل وقع على امرأته محرمة؟ – قال: أخبرني موسر هو أم معسر؟ – قلت: أجنبي فيهما جميعا، قال: عالم هو أم جاهل؟ – قلت: أجبني فيهما جميعا، قال: هو أمرها بالاحرام أم هي أحرمت من قبل نفسها بغير إذنه؟ – قلت: وأجبني فيهما جميعا، قال: إن كان موسرا أو كان عالما فانه لا ينبغى له أن يفعل، فان كان هو أمرها بالاحرام، فان عليه بدنة، وأن شاء بقرة، وإن شآء شاة، فان لم يكن أمرها بالاحرام فلا شئ عليه موسرا كان أو معسرا، فان كان معسرا وكان أمرها فعليه شاة، أو صيام، أو صدقة.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali Abu Sameena, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Sabah Al Haza’a, from Is’haq Bin Amaar who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding a man who allowed himself to occur upon his wife in Ihraam?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Inform me, is he rich or poor?’ I said, ‘Answer me regarding both of them together’. The Imam-asws said: ‘He is knowing or ignorant?’ I said, ‘Answer me regarding both of them together’. He-asws said: ‘Did he order her to be in Ihraam or did she wear the Ihraam herself from before without his permission?’

The Imam-asws (after having established these conditions) said: ‘If he was rich, or was knowing, so it was not befitting for him that he should do it. If he ordered her to be in Ihraam, so upon him is a camel, and if he so likes, a cow, and if he so likes, a sheep. If he did not order her with the Ihraam, so there is nothing upon him, whether he is rich or poor. If he was poor, and he had ordered her (to be in Ihraam), so upon him is a sheep, or Fasts, or charity’.[1040]

وعنه بهذا الاسناد، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن الحسين بن خالد، قال: سألت أبا الحسن موسى (ع) هل يحل أكل لحم الفيل؟ – فقال: لا، فقلت: ولم؟ – قال: لانه مثلة وقد حرم الله لحوم الامساخ ولحوم ما مثل به في صورها.

And from him, by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws, ‘Is it Permissible to eat the flesh of the elephant?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘No’. So I said, ‘And why not?’ He-asws said: ‘Because it is a resemblance (to those who had sinned and were transformed into elephants)[1041], and Allah-azwj has Forbidden the flesh of the metamorphosed one and what resembles it in its image’.[1042]

وعنه بهذا الاسناد، عن ابن أسلم، عن عبد الرحمن بن سالم، عن أبيه، عن أبى جعفر (ع) قال: قلت له: هل يكره الجماع في وقت من الاوقات وإن كان حلالا؟ – قال: نعم، ما بين طلوع الفجر إلى طلوع الشمس، ومن مغيب الشمس إلى مغيب الشفق، و في اليوم الذى تنكسف فيه الشمس، وفى الليلة التى ينكسف فيها القمر، وفى اليوم والليلة التى يكون فيهما الريح السوداء، والريح الحمراء، والريح الصفراء، واليوم و الليلة التى يكون فيهما الزلزلة،

From him, by this chain, from Ibn Aslam, from Abdul Rahman Bin Saalim, from his father,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘Is it disliked to copulate during a time from the times, even though it is Permissible?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, what is in between the emergence of the day to the emergence of the sun, and from the setting of the sun to the disappearance of the redness, and during the day in which the sun is eclipsed, and during a night in which the moon is eclipsed, and during the day and the night during which the black wind has occurred, and the red wind, and the yellow wind, and the day and the night in which the earthquake has occurred.

ولقد بات رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عند بعض نسائه في ليلة انكسف فيها القمر، فلم يكن في تلك الليلة ما يكون منه في غيرها حتى أصبح، فقالت له: يا رسول الله البغض هذا منك في هذه الليلة؟ – قال: لا، ولكن هذه الاية ظهرت في هذه الليلة، فكرهت أن أتلذذ وألهو فيها وقد عير الله أقواما في كتابه، فقال: ” وإن يروا كسفا من السماء ساقطا يقولوا سحاب مركوم، فذرهم يخوضوا ويلعبوا، حتى يلاقوا يومهم الذى فيه يصعقون ”

And Rasool-Allah-saww had come to one of his-saww wives during a night in which the moon had been eclipsed, so there did not happen during that night what would happen from him-saww during other (nights) until the morning. So she said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! This grudge is from you-saww during this night?’ He-saww said: ‘No, but this is the Sign which appeared during this night, so I-saww disliked that I-saww should enjoy and play during it, and Allah-azwj has Rebuked a people in His-azwj Book [52:44] And if they should see a portion of the sky coming down, they would say: Piled up clouds. [52:45] Leave them fighting and playing then till they meet that Day of theirs wherein they shall be made to swoon’.  

ثم قال أبو جعفر (ع): وأيم الله لا يجامع أحد فيرزق ولدا فيرى في ولده ذلك ما يحب.

Then Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj, no one would copulate (during those disliked days), and he would receive a child, so he would see in his child that what he does not like’.[1043]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن سماعة بن مهران، قال كنت عند أبى الحسن موسى (ع) فصلى الظهر والعصر بين يدى، وجلست عنده حتى حضرت المغرب، فدعا بوضوء فتوضأ وضوء الصلوة، ثم قال لى: توضأ فقلت: إنى على وضوء، فقال: وأنا قد كنت على وضوء ولكن من توضأ للمغرب كان وضوءه ذلك كفارة لما مضى من ذنوبه في ليله ما خلا الكبائر.

From him, from his father, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at Bin Mahran who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws, so I Prayed Al-Zohr and Al-Asr in front of him-asws, and was seated in his-asws presence until Al-Magrib presented itself. So he-asws called for the ablution, so he-asws performed the ablution for the Prayer, then said to me: ‘Perform ablution’. So I said, ‘I am upon ablution’. So he-asws said: ‘And I-asws was also upon the ablution, but the one who performs ablution for Al-Magrib, that ablution of his would be an expiation for what has passed from his sins during his night, except for the major sins’.[1044]

عنه، عن أبى سمينة، عن ابن أسلم الجبلى، عن على، عن أبان بن تغلب عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: قلت: جعلت فداك نسافر فلا يكون معنا نخالة فنتدلك بالدقيق؟ قال: لا بأس بذلك إنما يكون الفساد فيما أضر بالبدن وأتلف المال، فأما ما أصلح البدن فانه ليس بفساد، إنى إنما أمرت غلامي أن يلت لى النقى بالزيت ثم أتدلك

From him, from Ibn Sameena, from Ibn Aslan Al Jabaly, from Ali, from Aban Bin Taglub,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, May I be sacrificed for you-asws! We travel and we do not have bran, so we massage with the flour?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘There is no problem with that. But rather, if there happens spoiling – if something harms the body and damages the money. But, what is good for the body, so it is not from spoiling. But rather, I-asws ordered my-asws slave that he brings to me pure oil, then I-asws massage’.[1045]

عنه، بهذا الاسناد، عن على بن أسلم، عن صباح الحذاء عن أسحاق بن عمار قال: سألت أبا الحسن موسى (ع) عن قوم خرجوا في سفر لهم، فلما انتهوا إلى الموضع الذى يجب عليهم في التقصير قصروا فلما أن صاروا على فرسخين أو ثلاثة أو أربعة فراسخ، تخلف عنهم رجل لا يستقيم لهم السفر إلا بمجيئه إليهم، فأقاموا على ذلك أياما لا يدرون هل يمضون في سفرهم أو ينصرفون فهل ينبغى لهم أن يتموا الصلوة أم يقيموا على تقصيرهم؟

From him, by this chain, from Ali Bin Aslam, from Ssabah Al Haza’a, from Is’haq Bin Amaar who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws about a people who went out in a journey. So when they ended up to the place which Obligated upon them the shortening (of the Salaat), they shortened it. So when they travelled upon two Farsakhs, or three, or four Farsakhs, a man stayed behind from them. Not travelling with them except by joining to them (some time later). So there were some days when he did not know whether he should go to join them or stay behind. So is it befitting for him that he should complete the Salaat, or stay upon their shortened ones?’

فقال: إن كانوا بلغوا مسيرة أربعة فراسخ فيلقيموا على تقصيرهم أقاموا أم انصرفوا، وان كانوا ساروا أقل من أربعة فراسخ فليتموا الصلوة ما أقاموا، فإذا مضوا فليقصروا،

So the Imam-asws said: ‘If the travel reaches four Farsakhs, so he should stay upon their shortening, whether he stays or leaves. But if the travel was less than four Farsakhs, so he should Pray the complete Salaat. So, when he goes (with them), so he should shorten’.

ثم قال: وهل تدرى كيف صار هكذا؟ – قلت: لا أدرى، قال: لان التقصير في بريدين، ولا يكون التقصير في أقل من ذلك، فإذا كانوا قد ساروا بريدا وأرادوا أن ينصرفوا بريدا كانوا قد ساروا سفر التقصير، وان كانوا ساروا أقل من ذلك لم يكن لهم إلا إتمام الصلوة، قلت: أليس قد بلغوا الموضع الذى لا يسمعون فيه أذان مصرهم لذى خرجوا منه؟ – قال: بلى إنما قصروا في ذلك الموضع، لانهم لم يشكوا في مسيرهم، وأن السير سيجد بهم، فلما جاءت العلة في مقامهم دون البريد صاروا هكذا،

Then the Imam-asws said: ‘And do you know how this came to be?’ I said, ‘I do not know’. He-asws said: ‘Because the shortening is regarding two ‘Bareeds’ (بريدين), and the shortening does not happen regarding to less than that. So if he has travelled one Bareed, and intends to leave one Bareed, so he has travelled a journey of the shortening (as it will be two Bareed if he returns home). And if he had travelled less than that, then there would not be for him except the complete Salaat’.

I said, ‘Is it not that he reached the place in which the Azaan cannot be heard, of the city which he came out from?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, but rather, he should shorten in that place, because he did not complain with regards to travelling with them, and that he set out with them. So when the reason came with regards to their place besides the Bareed, it became like this’.[1046]

عنه بهذا الاسناد، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن الحسين بن خالد قال: سألت أبا الحسن موسى (ع) عن الغسل يوم الجمعة، هو واجب على الرجال والنساء؟ – قال: نعم، لان الله عزوجل أتم صلوة الفريضة بصلوة النافلة، وأتم صيام شهر رمضان الفريضة بصيام النافلة، وتمم الحج بالعمرة، وتمم الزكوة بالصدقة على كل حر وعبد وذكر وأنثى، وأتم وضوء الفريضة بغسل الجمعة.

From him, by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws about the washing (Ghusl) on the day of Friday, is it Obligatory upon the men and the women?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes, because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Completed the Obligatory Prayers with the Optional (Prayers); and Completed the Obligatory Fasts of the Month of Ramazan with the Optional Fasts; and Completed the Hajj with the Umrah; and Completed the Zakaat with the charity upon every free person, and slave, and male and female; and Completed the Obligatory ablution with the washing on Friday’.

قال: وسألته عن مهر السنة، كيف صار خمس مائة؟ – فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى أوجب على نفسه أن لا يكبره مؤمن مائة تكبيرة ويحمده مائة تحميدة ويسبحه مائة تسبيحة ويهلله مائة تهليلة ويصلى على محمد وآل محمد صلى الله عليه وآله مائة مرة ثم يقول: ” اللهم زوجنى من الحور العين ” إلا زوجه حوراء وجعل ذلك مهرها، ثم أوحى إلى نبيه صلى الله عليه وآله أن سن مهور النساء المؤمنات خمس مائة ففعل ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked him-asws about the dowry of the women, how did it come to be five hundred?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and High Obligated upon Himself-azwj that no Believer would Exclaim His-azwj Greatness with one hundred exclamations, and Praise Him-azwj with one hundred Praised, and Glorify Him-azwj with one hundred Glorification, and Extol Him-azwj with one hundred Extollations of His-azwj Holiness, and send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww one hundred times, then says, ‘O Allah-azwj! Pair me (Marriage) from the Maiden Houries’, except that He-azwj Would Get him to be married to the Houries, and would Make that to be her dowry. Then Allah-azwj Revealed unto His-azwj Prophet-saww that the Sunnah of the dowry of the Believing women is five hundred. So Rasool-Allah-saww did that’.[1047]

عنه بهذا الاسناد، عن الحسين بن خالد، قال: سمعت أبا الحسن موسى بن جعفر (ع) يقول: لما قبض إبراهيم بن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله جرت في موته ثلاث سنن، أما واحدة، فانه لما قبض انكسفت الشمس، فقال الناس: إنما انكسفت الشمس لموت ابن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله، فصعد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله المنبر، فحمد الله وأثنى عليه، ثم قال: أيها الناس إن كسوف الشمس والقمر آيتان من آيات الله، يجربان بأمره، مطيعان له، لا ينكسفان لموت أحد ولا لحياته، فإذا انكسفا أو أحدهما صلوا،

From him, by this chain, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘When Ibrahim-as, son-as of Rasool-Allah-saww passed away, three Sunnahs flowed regarding his-as passing away. As for one, so when he-as passed away, the sun was eclipsed. So the people said, ‘But rather, the sun is eclipsed at the passing away of the son-as of Rasool-Allah-saww’. So Rasool-Allah-saww ascended the Pulpit, Praised Allah-azwj and Extolled Him-azwj, then said: ‘O you people! The eclipsing of the sun and the moon are two Signs from the Signs of Allah-azwj, occurring by His-azwj Command, obedient to Him-azwj. These do not get eclipsed at the death of someone nor for his life, so if these two were to be eclipsed, or one of them, (you should offer) Salaat’.

ثم نزل من المنبر، فصلى بالناس الكسوف، فلما سلم قال: يا على قم فجهز ابني، قال: فقام على بن أبى طالب (ع) فغسل إبراهيم وكفنه وحنطه ومضى،

Then Rasool-Allah-saww descended from the Pulpit, and Prayed the eclipse Salaat with the people. So when he-saww greeted (finished the Prayer), he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Arise, prepare my-saww son-as’. So Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws arose, washed Ibrahim-as, and shrouded him-as, and embalmed him-as, and went.

فمضى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله حتى انتهى به إلى قبره، فقال الناس: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله نسى أن يصلى على ابنه لما دخله من الجزع عليه، فانتصب قائما ثم قال: إن جبرئيل (ع) أتانى فأخبرني بما قلتم، زعمتم أنى نسيت أن أصلى على ابني لما دخلنى من الجزع، ألا وإنه ليس كما ظننتم ولكن اللطيف الخبير فرض عليكم خمس صلوات، وجعل لموتاكم من كل صلوة تكبيرة، وأمرني أن لا أصلى إلا على من صلى،

So, Rasool-Allah-saww went until he-saww ended up by him-as to his-as grave. So the people said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww forgot to Pray over his-saww son, when anxiety entered unto him-saww. So he-saww stood straight, then said: ‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww and informed me-saww with what you have said. You are thinking that I-saww forgot to Pray over my-saww son-as when anxiety entered unto me-saww. Never! It is not as you are thinking! But, the Kind, the Aware Obligated upon you five Prayers, and Made for your dead ones, from each of the Prayers, one Exclamation of Greatness (Takbeer), and Commanded me-saww that I-saww should not Pray except upon the one who has Prayed’.

ثم قال: يا على انزل وألحد ابني، فنزل على (ع) فألحد إبراهيم في لحده، فقال الناس: إنه لا ينبغى لاحد أن ينزل في قبر ولده إذا لم يفعل رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بابنه، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: يا أيها الناس إنه ليس عليكم بحرام أن تنزلوا في قبور أولادكم، ولكن لست آمن إذا حل أحدكم الكفن عن ولده أن يلعب به الشيطان فيدخله عن ذلك من الجزع ما يحبط أجره ثم انصرف صلى الله عليه وآله.

Then he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! Descend and lay my-saww son-as down’. So Ali-asws descended and laid Ibrahim-as in his-as grave. So the people said, ‘It is not befitting for anyone that he should descend in the grave of his son, when Rasool-Allah-saww did not do it with his-saww son-as’. So Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O you people! It is not Prohibited upon you that you should be descending in the graves of your children, but I-saww am not safe that one of you might move the shroud from his son and the Satan-la would play with him, so the anxiety would enter into him due to that, what would Confiscate his Recompense’. Then Rasool-Allah-saww went away’.[1048]

عنه، عن الوشاء، عن على بن أبى حمزة، عن أبى بصير، عن أبى عبد الله (ع)، قال: حججنا مع أبى عبد الله (ع) في السنة التى ولد فيها ولده موسى (ع) فلما نزلنا الابواء وضع لنا الغداء، وكان إذا وضع الطعام لاصحابه أكثره وأطابه، قال فبينا نحن نأكل إذا أتاه رسول حميدة، فقال: إن حميدة تقول لك إنى قد أنكرت نفسي وقد وجدت ما كنت أجد إذا حضرتني ولادتي، وقد أمتنى أن لا أسبقك بابنى هذا،

From him, from Al Washa, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

(Abu Baseer says):, ‘We performed the Hajj with Abu Abdullah-asws in the year in which Abu Abdullah-asws was blessed with his-asws son-asws Musa-asws. So when we encamped at Al-Abwa in the morning, he-asws placed the food for us. And whenever he-asws used to place the food, he-asws used to increase it and made it to be even better. So while we were eating, a messenger of (Syeda) Hameeda-as came to him-asws, so he-asws said: ‘(Syeda) Hameeda-as is saying to you-asws that she-as has denied herself-as (joining in for Hajj) and has said that she-as had found her-as little son-asws, and would not like you-asws to go further but to come back and be with my-as son-asws.

قال: فقام أبو عبد الله (ع) فانطلق مع الرسول فلما انطلق قال له أصحابه: سرك الله وجعلنا فداك ما صنعت حميدة؟ – قال: قد سلمها الله وقد وهب لى غلاما وهو خير من برأ الله في خلقه، ولقد أخبرتني حميدة ظنت أنى لا أعرفه، ولقد كنت أعلم به منها،

He (the narrator) said, ‘So Abu Abdullah-asws arose and went with the messenger. So when he-asws came back, his-asws companions said to him-asws, ‘May Allah-azwj Make you-asws joyful and Make us to be sacrificed for you-asws, what has (Lady) Hameeda-as done?’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj has Kept her safe, and has Bestowed upon me-asws a son-asws, and he-asws is better than the righteous ones of His-azwj creatures. And (Lady) Hameeda-as has informed me-asws, thinking that I-asws do not recognise him-asws, and I-asws am more knowing of him-asws than she-as is’.

فقلت: وما أخبرتك به حميدة عنه؟ – فقال: ذكرت أنه لما سقط من بطنها سقط واضعا يده على الارض رافعا رأسه إلى السماء، فأخبرتها أن تلك أمارة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وأمارة الوصي من بعده،

So I said, ‘And what did (Lady) Hameeda-as inform you-asws about him-asws?’ So he-asws said: ‘She-as mentioned that upon his-asws appearance, he fell with his-asws hands upon the ground, raised his-asws head towards the sky. So I-asws informed her-as that it was a sign of Rasool-Allah-saww and a sign of the successor-asws from after him-saww’.

فقلت: وما هذا من علامة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وعلامة الوصي من بعده؟ – فقال: يا أبا محمد إنه لما أن كانت الليلة التى علقت فيها بابنى هذا المولود أتانى آت فسقاني كما سقاهم، وأمرني بمثل الذى أمرهم به، فقمت بعلم اللله مسرورا بمعرفتي ما يهب الله لى فجامعت فعلقت بابنى هذا المولود، فدونكم فهو والله صاحبكم من بعدى، إن نطفة الامام مما أخبرتك فانه إذا سكنت النطفة في الرحم أربعة أشهر وأنشأ فيه الروح بعث الله تبارك وتعالى إليه ملكا يقال له ” حيوان ” يكتب في عضده الايمن ” وتمت كلمة ربك صدقا وعدلا لا مبدل لكلماته ”

So I said, ‘And what is this sign of Rasool-Allah-saww and a sign of the successor-asws from after him-saww?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! When it was the night in which she-as was with my-asws son, a comer came to me-asws, so he quenched me-asws just as he quenched them, and ordered me-asws with the like of what he ordered them-asws with. So I got the Knowledge of the night, joyful at my-asws understanding of what Allah-azwj is Bestowing upon me-asws, so I-asws went to her, so my-asws son-asws was created (in the Heavens). By Allah-azwj! He-asws is your Master-asws from after me-asws. The seed of the Imam-asws, from what I-asws have informed you, settles in the forehead for four months, and the spirit is established in him-asws, Allah-azwj Sends an Angel called ‘Haywaan’, who inscribed in his right upper arm [6:115] And the Word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly; there is none who can change His Words’.

فإذا وقع من بطن أمه وقع يديه على الارض رافعا رأسه إلى السماء، فلما وضع يده على الارض فان مناديا يناديه من بطنان العرش من قبل رب العزة من الافق الاعلى باسمه واسم أبيه، يا فلان بن فلان اثبت مليا لعظيم خلقتك، أنت صفوتي من خلقي، وموضع سرى، وعيبة علمي، وأميني على وحيى، و خليفتي في أرضى، ولمن تولاك أوجبت رحمتى، ومنحت جناني، وأحللت جواري، ثم وعزتي لاصلين من عاداك أشد عذابي، وإن أوسعت عليهم في الدنيا من سعة رزقي “،

So when he-asws appears in front of his-asws mothers, occurs upon the ground with his-asws hands upon the ground and his-asws head raised towards the sky. So when he-asws places his-asws hand upon the ground, a Caller Calls out to him-asws from the middle of the Throne, from the Sight of the Lord-azwj of Honour, from the high Horizon by his-asws name and the name of his-asws father-asws: ‘O so and so son of so and so! Your-asws nature has been Affirmed as being of magnificent creation. You-asws are My-azwj elite from My-azwj creation, and a place of My-azwj secret, and a repository of My-azwj Knowledge, and trustworthy upon My-azwj Revelation, and My-azwj Caliph in My-azwj earth. And the one who is in your-asws Wilayah, My-azwj Mercy would be Obligated upon him, and Awarding of My-azwj Paradise, and the Holiness of My-azwj Vicinity. Then by My-azwj Honour, the ones from your-asws enemies will arrive to the harshest of My-azwj Punishment, even if I-azwj Heap upon them the vastness of My-azwj sustenance to them in the world’.

قال: فإذا انقضى صوت المنادى أجابه هو وهو واضع يده على الارض رافعا رأسه إلى السماء، ويقول ” شهد الله أنه لا إله إلا هو والملائكة واولو العلم قائما بالقسط، لا إله إلا هو العزيز الحكيم ”

The Imam-asws said: ‘When the voice of the Caller ceases, he-asws answers him, while placing his-asws hands upon the ground and his-asws head raised towards the sky, and says: ‘I-asws testify that Allah-azwj, there is no god except for Him-azwj, and the Angels and the ones with the Knowledge-asws stand with the justice. There is no god except for Him-azwj. He-azwj is the Mighty, the Wise’.

فإذا قال ذلك أعطاه الله العلم الاول والعلم الآخر، واستحق زيارة الروح في ليلة القدر، قلت: والروح ليس هو جبرئيل؟ – قال: لا، الروح خلق أعظم من جبرئيل، إن جبرئل من الملائكة وإن الروح خلق أعظم من الملائكة، أليس يقول الله تبارك وتعالى: ” تنزل الملائكة والروح “؟.

So when he-asws says that, Allah-azwj Gives him-asws the Knowledge of the first and the Knowledge of the last (Representative of Allah-azwj), and becomes rightful of the visit of the (Holy) Spirit during the night of Pre-determination (ليلة القدر)’. I said, ‘The Spirit, is it not Jibraeel-as?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘No. The Spirit is a creature superior than Jibraeel-as. Jibraeel-as is from the Angels, and the Spirit is a creature superior than the Angels. Is Allah-azwj the High not Saying [97:4] Therein come down the angels and the Spirit by the Permission of their lord?’[1049]

عنه، بهذا الاسناد، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): رجل عليه من النوافل ما لا يدرى كم هو؟ من كثرته، قال: يصلى حتى لا يدرى كم صلى؟ من كثرته، فيكون قد قضى بقدر ما عليه من ذلك،

From him, by this chain, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘A man, upon him are the optional (Salaat), what he does not know how many they are, from its frequency?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘He should Pray until he does not know how many he has Prayed, from its frequency, so these would become a fulfilment in accordance to what is upon him from that’.

قلت: فانه لا يقدر على القضاء من شغله، قال: إن شغل في طلب معيشة لابد منها أو حاجة لاخ مؤمن فلا شئ عليه، وأن كان شغله لجمع الدنيا، فتشاغل بها عن الصلوة فعليه القضاء وإلا لقى الله وهو مستخف متهاون مضيع لسنة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله،

I said, ‘He does not have the ability for that due to his occupation’. He-asws said: ‘If he is occupied in seeking the livelihood, it should be done, or a need for a Believing brother, so there is nothing upon him. And if he is occupied with gathering the world, so he is too occupied due to it from the Prayer, so upon him is the fulfilment, or else he would meet Allah-azwj, as having belittled, negligent, having wasted the Sunnah of Rasool-Allah-saww’.

قلت: فانه لا يقدر على القضاء فهل يصلح له أن يتصدق؟ – فسكت مليا ثم قال: نعم، فليتصدق بقدر طوله وأدنى ذلك مد لكل مسكين مكان كل صلوة، قلت: وكم الصلوة التى يجب عليه فيها مد لكل مسكين؟ – قال: لكل ركعتين من صلوة الليل والنهار، قلت: لا يقدر، قال: فمد إذا لكل صلوة الليل، ومد لصلوة النهار، والصلوة أفضل.

I said, ‘He does not have the ability to fulfil, so is it Permissible for him that he should give charity?’ So he-asws was silent for a while, then said: ‘Yes. So let him give charity in accordance with his endurance, and the lowest of that is a handful for every poor, in place for each Prayer’. I said, ‘And how many Prayers which Obligated upon him a handful for every poor?’ He-asws said: ‘For each of the two Cycles from the Night Prayer, and the day’. I said, ‘He is not able’. He-asws said: ‘So, a handful for each of the night Prayer, and a handful for the day prayer, but (offering) the Salaat is higher’.[1050]

عنه، عن أبيه، قال: حدثنا على بن الحكم، عن عثمان بن عبد الملك – الحضرمي، عن أبى بكر الحضرمي، قال: قال لى أبو جعفر (ع): يا أبا بكر تدرى لاى شئ وضع عليكم التطوع وهو تطوع لكم وهو نافلة للانبياء، إنه ربما قبل من الصلوة نصفها وثلثها وربعها، وإنما يقبل منها ما أقبلت عليها بقلبك، فزيدت النافلة عليها حتى تتم بها.

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Usman Bin Abdul Malik Al Hazramy, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Bakr! Do you know which thing has been Placed upon you as the voluntary, and it is voluntary to you and an optional for the Prophets-as. Perhaps it is before the Prayer, half of it, and a third of it, and a fourth of it. But rather, He-azwj Accept from it what is acceptable to it upon your heart. So increase the Optional (Prayers) upon it until you are settled by it’.[1051]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى تطول على عباده بثلاثة، ألقى عليهم الريح بعد الروح ولو لا ذلك ما دفن حميم حميما، وألقى عليهم السلوة ولولا ذلك لانقطع النسل، وألقى على هذه الحبة الدابة ولولا ذلك لكنزها ملوكهم كما يكنزون الذهب والفضة.

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Saalim,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and High Prolonged upon His-azwj servants with three (things) – He-azwj Cast upon them the wind after the spirit, and had it not been for that, a friend would not have buried a friend; and Cast upon them the consolation, and had it not been for that, the offspring would not have been cut off; and Cast upon this grain, the animals (insects), and had it not been for that, the kings would have hoarded it just are they are hoarding the gold and the silver’.[1052]

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Al Washa, from Aban Al Ahmar, from the one who mentioned it,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Had it not been for Allah-azwj Withholding the wind upon the world, the land would have been scattered, and had it not been for the clouds, the land would have been spoilt. There does not sprout anything, but Allah-azwj Commands the cloud, so it shakes out the water, and the drops descend. He-azwj Sent clouds upon the people of Noah-as without measure’.[1053]

From him, from his father, from Haroun Bin Al Jaham, from Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf, from Al Asbag Bin Nabata who said,

‘The people reviled this insect which happens to be in the food’. So Ali-asws said: ‘Do not revile it, for, by the One-azwj in Whose Hand is my-asws soul, it was but for this insect, that they cannot hoard it, just as they have hoarded the gold and the silver’.[1054]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن وهب بن حفص، عن على بن أبى حمزة، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) كيف أصنع أذا خرجت مع الجنازة، أمشى أمامها، أو خلفها، أو عن يمينها، أو عن شمالها؟ – قال: إن كان مخالفا فلا تمش أمامها فان ملائكة العذاب يستقبلونه بألوان العذاب.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Wahab Bin Hafs, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws what I should do when I go out with the funeral procession, walk in front of it, or behind it, or on its right, or on its left?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘If he was an opponent, so do not walk in front of it, for the Angels of the Punishment would be receiving him with (various) types of Punishment’.[1055]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن على بن الحكم، عن عثمان بن عبد الملك الحضرمي، قال: قال أبو بكر الحضرمي: قال لى أبو جعفر (ع): يا أبا بكر أتدرى كم الصلوة على الميت؟ – قلت: لا، قال: خمس تكبيرات، فتدرى من أين أخذت الخمس التكبيرات؟ – قلت: لا، قال: أخذت من الخمس الصلوات، من كل صلوة تكبيرة.

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from usman Bin Abdul Malik Al Khazramy, from Abu Bakr Al Khazram who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said to me: ‘O Abu Bakr! Do you know how many Prayers are upon the dead one?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘Five Exclamations of Greatness (Takbeers). So, do you know from where these five Exclamations of Greatness have been taken?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘These have been taken from the Five Prayers, from each Prayer, one Takbeer’.[1056]

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Hazim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a person (in Ihraam for Hajj) who only has available to him the carcasses or to hunt.  The Imam-asws replied:  He can eat from hunting. I said: Allah-azwj has Made carcasses lawful but not hunting (during Hajj)?  The Imam-asws then asked: Do you like to eat from your belongings more or eating from carcasses?  I replied:  I like eating from my belongings.  The Imam-asws said:  That is of your belongings, you only have to pay the ‘الفدية’ ransom.  I then said, What happens if I do not have anything (to pay the ransom).  The Imam-asws said:  Borrow and pay when you are back at home.[1057]

From him, from his father, from Safwan, from Mansour Bin Hazim, from the one who mentioned it,

Abu Ja’far-asws having said to one of his-asws wives, or slave girls: ‘Hand over to me-asws the ‘Khumra’ so that I-asws can Prostrate upon it’. She said, ‘I am menstruating’. He-asws said: ‘Is your menstruation in your hands?’[1058]

From him, from his father, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Jowfary, from Is’haq Bin Ibrahim, from Ibn Rasheed, from his father who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The man should neither copulate with his wife nor with his slave girls, if there is a young child in the house, for that is from the inheritance of the adultery’.[1059]

عنه، عن بعض أصحابنا، رفعه عن حريز، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن المحرم يشم الريحان؟ – قال: لا، قلت: فالصائم؟ – قال: لا، قلت له: يشم الصائم الغالية والدخنة؟ – قال: نعم، قلت: فكيف جاز له أن يشم الطيب ولا يشم الريحان إذا كان صائما؟ – فقال: لان الطيب سنة، والريحان بدعة للصائم.

From him, from one of our companions, raising it from Hareyz who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the one in Ihraam, can he smell the basil?’ The Imam-asws said, ‘No’. I said, ‘The Fasting one?’ He-asws said: ‘No’. I said to him-asws, ‘The Fasting one can smell the grain and the millet?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So how come it is allowable for him to smell the good things, but cannot smell the fragrances if he was Fasting?’ So he-asws said: ‘Because the perfume is Sunnah, and the basil is an innovation for the Fasting one’.[1060]

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Al Husayn Bin Kahlid who said,

‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘For how many is a (Sacrificial) camel correct for?’ He-asws said: ‘For one soul’. I said, ‘The cow?’ He-asws said: ‘It is allowed for five if they were eating upon one table’. I said, ‘How come the camel is not correct except from one, and the cow from five?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Because the camel does not have a reason for it which was in the cow. Those who believed, in the era of Musa-as with the worship of the cow were five souls, and they were a family eating upon the one buffet, and they were allowed it, and his brother prevented it, and the son of his brother, and his daughter, and his wife. So they are the ones who were ordered for the worship of the cow, with regards to what was between them, and they are the one who slaughtered the cow which Allah-azwj had Commanded to be slaughtered’.[1061]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن حماد اللحام، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن المملوكة تقنع رأسها أذا صلت؟ – قال: لا، قد كان أبى إذا رأى الجارية تصلى في مقنعة ضربها لتعرف الحرة من المملوكة.

From him, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Hamaad Bin Usman, from Hamaad Al Laham who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the slave girl, should she cover her head when she Prays?’ He-asws said: ‘No. It was so that then my-asws father-asws saw the maid Praying in a veil (Maqna), struck her, in order for the free to be recognised from the slave’.[1062]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن يونس، عن معاوية بن وهب، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): إن رجلا من الانصار مات وعليه دين ولم يصل النبي صلى الله عليه وآله عليه وقال: لا تصلوا على صاحبكم حتى يضمن عنه الدين، فقال أبو عبد الله (ع): ذلك حق، ثم قال: إنما فعل ذلك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله ليتعاطوا الحق، ويؤدى بعضهم إلى بعض، ولئلا يستخفوا بالدين، قد مات رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وعليه دين، ومات الحسن (ع) وعليه دين، وقتل الحسين (ع) وعليه دين

From him, from his father, from Yunus, from Muawiya Bin Wahab who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘A man from the helpers died and there were debts upon him, and the Prophet-saww did not Pray over him and said: ‘Do not Pray over your companions until the debt is paid off from him’. So Abu Abdullah-asws said, that, then he-asws said: ‘But rather, Rasool-Allah-saww did that in order for the right to be taken, and some of them leave each other, and perhaps they would fear to be in debt. Rasool-Allah-saww passed away while in debt, and Al-Hassan-asws passed away while in debt, and Al-Husayn-asws was killed while in debt’.[1063] (their-asws debts were paid off by their-asws successors-asws)

And from him, from his father, from Yunus, from Ibn Sinan who said,

But, that has not been made upon him for the water (ejaculation), but from having looked at what was not Permissible for him (to look at)’.[1068]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن يونس، عمن ذكره، عن أبى إبراهيم (ع) قال: لا تجب الزكوة فيما سبك، قلت: فان كان سبكه فرارا به من الزكوة؟ – قال: أما ترى أن المنفعة قد ذهبت منه، فلذلك لا تجب عليه الزكوة.

From him, from his father, from Yunus, from the one who mentioned it,

Abu Ibrahim-asws (7th Imam-asws) having said: ‘The Zakaat is not Obligatory upon what you revile’. I said, ‘So if I revile it, I can flee with it from the Zakaat?’ He-asws said: ‘But, you see that the benefit has gone from it, so it is due to that, the Zakaat is not Obligated upon it’.[1069]

From him, from his father, from Yunus, from Bakaar Bin Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The method of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws among the people of Basra was better for his-asws Shiah from what the sun emerges upon. He-asws knew that the people would become dominant (more powerful), so if he-asws were to make them prisoners, his-asws Shiah would have been prisoners’. I said, ‘So, inform me about Al-Qaim-asws. Would he-asws be adopting his-asws way?’ He-asws said: ‘No, because Ali-asws dealt among them with the favours as he-asws knew that they will dominate, but Al-Qaim-asws would deal with them differently because they will not have any dominance’.[1072]

From him, from his father, from Yunus, from Jameel Bin Daraaj who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about withholding the sacrificial meat for more than three (days) at Mina?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘There is no problem with that today.

From him, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Ali-asws, said: ‘A man came to him-asws, so he said, ‘I have earned wealth, and I closed my eyes in seeking it, whether it is Permissible or Prohibited, and I wanted to repent. I do not know the Permissible from it from the Prohibited, and it has been mixed up?’ So he-asws said: ‘Give a fifth of your wealth in charity, for Allah-azwj is Pleased with the things with the fifth, and the rest of your wealth is Permissible unto you’.[1076]

From him, from Ibrahim, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al Hassan Al Farsy, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Basry,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having abhorred that the man should overcome his wife whilst she is menstruation. So if he were to overwhelm her, and the child comes out as a leper or with vitiligo, so he should not blame anyone except for himself’.

وعنه قال: وكره أن يغشى الرجل أهله وقد احتلم حتى يغتسل من الاحتلام، فان فعل فخرج الولد مجنونا فلا يلومن إلا نفسه.

And from him, who said,

‘And he-asws abhorred that the man should overwhelm his wife, and has had a wet dream, until he washes himself from the wet dream. So, if he were to do that (copulate), and the child comes out as insane, so he should not blame anyone except for himself’.[1077]

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن هشام بن سالم، عن حبيب السجستاني، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن رجل قطع يدى رجلين، اليمينين؟ – فقال: يقطع يا حبيب يده اليمنى أولا وتقطع يده اليسرى للذى قطع يده اليمنى آخرا لانه قطع يد الاخير، ويده اليمنى قصاص للاول،

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Habib Al Sajastany who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a man who had cut right hand of two men.  The Imam-asws said: O Habib! First his right hand will be cut as an ‘قصاص’ retribution for the right hand of the first man, then his left hand will be cut-off which would be the retribution ‘قصاص’ for the right-hand of the second man.  His right hand cut-off will be the expiation for the right hand will be for the first man’s right-hand cut-off.

قال: فقلت تقطع يداه جميعا فلا تترك له يد يستنظف بها؟ – قال: نعم، إنها في حقوق الناس فيقتص في الاربع جميعا، وأما في حق الله فلا يقتص منه إلا في يد ورجل، فان قطع يمين رجل وقد قطعت يمينه في القصاص قطعت يده اليسرى، وان لم يكن له يدان قطعت رجله باليد التى تقطع، ويقتض منه في جوارحه كلها إذا كانت في حقوق الناس.

I said: So, his both hands will be cut-off and he will not be able to clean himself (after attending his needs)?  The Imam-asws replied: All four limbs can be cut-off for the retribution ‘قصاص’ on behalf of people but for the expiation for Allah-azwj, only one hand and one foot (on the opposite sides) is going to be cut-off.  Thus, if he cuts-off someone’s right-hand while his own right-hand has already being cut-off (as expiation), then his left hand will be cut-off as expiation. But if he has no hands left on his body then his same side foot will be cut-off, and expiation will be implemented on all his limbs on behalf of his (crime) against other people (for the sake of the rights of the people).[1078]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن فضال بن أيوب، عن الحسين بن أبى العلاء، عن أبى – عبد الله (ع) قال: لما هبط آدم من الجنة ظهرت به شامة سوداء في وجهه، من قرنه إلى قدمه، فطال حزنه وبكاؤه على ما ظهر به، فأتاه جبرئيل (ع) فقال، ما يبكيك يا آدم؟ – قال: لهذه الشامة التى ظهرت بى، فقال: قم يا آدم فصل، هذا وقت الصلوة الاولى، فقام فصلى فانحطت الشامة إلى عنقه،

From him, from his father, from Fazal Bin Ayoub, from Al Husayn Bin Abu Al A’ala,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘When Adam-as descended from the Paradise, black spots appeared in his-as face, from the top of his-as head to his-as feet. So he-as prolonged his grief and crying upon what had appeared upon him-as. Jibraeel-as came to him-as and said: ‘What makes you-as cry, O Adam-as?’ He-as said: ‘It is due to these black spots which have appeared upon me-as’. So he-as said: ‘Arise, O Adam-as, and Pray. This is the time for the first Prayer’. So he-as arose and Prayed, so the black spots degenerated to his-as neck.

فجاءه في الصلوة الثانية، فقال: يا آدم قم فصل، هذا وقت الصلوة الثانية، فقام فصلى فانحطت الشامة إلى سرته، فجاء في الصلوة الثالثة فقال: يا آدم قم فصل، هذا وقت الصلوة الثالثة، فقام فصلى، فانحطت الشامة إلى ركبتيه، فجاءه في وقت الصلوة الرابعة، فقال: يا آدم قم فصل، فهذا وقت الصلوة الرابعة، فقام فصلى فانحطت الشامة إلى رجله، فجاءه في الصلوة الخامسة، فقال: يا آدم قم فصل، فهذا وقت الصلوة الخامسة، فقام فصلى وخرج منها، فحمد الله وأثنى عليه،

So he-as came to him-as for the second Prayer and said: ‘O Adam-as! Arise and Pray, this is the time for the second Prayer’. So he-as arose and Prayed, and the black spots degenerated to his-as navel. So he-as came to him-as for the third Prayer and said: ‘Arise O Adam-as and Pray, this is the time for the third Prayer’. So he-as arose and Prayed, and the black spots degenerated to his knees. So he-as came to him-as for the fourth Prayer and said: ‘Arise O Adam-as and Pray, this is the time for the fourth Prayer’. So he-as arose and Prayed, and the black spots degenerated to his feet. So he-as came to him-as for the fifth Prayer and said: ‘Arise O Adam-as and Pray, this is the time for the fifth Prayer’. So he-as arose and Prayed, and the black spots exited from him-as. So he-as Praise Allah-azwj and Extolled Him-azwj.

فقال: يا آدم مثل ولدك في هذه الصلوة كمثلك في هذه الشامة، من صلى من ولدك في كل يوم خمس صلوات خرج من ذنوبه كما خرجت من هذه الشامة.

So he-as (Jibraeel-as) said: ‘O Adam-as! The example for your-as children with regards to these Prayers is like the example of these black spots of yours-as. The ones from your-as children who Pray these five Prayers every day, would come out from his sins just as you-as have come out from these black spots’.[1079]

عنه بهذا الاسناد، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): قال الحسن بن على بن أبى طالب (ع): جاء نفر إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فقالوا في حديث سألوه عنه طويلا: يا محمد وأخبرنا لاى شئ وقت الله الصلوة في خمس مواقيت على أمتك في ساعات الليل والنهار؟ – قال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: إن الشمس إذا صارت في الجو عند زوال الشمس لها حلقة تدخل فيها، فإذا دخلت فيها زالت، فسبح كل شئ ما دون العرش لوجه ربى، وهى الساعة التى يصلى فيها على ربى،

From him, by this chain, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws said: ‘A number of persons came to Rasool-Allah-saww, so they spoke in a lengthy discussion in which they asked him-saww, ‘O Muhammad-saww! And inform us, for which thing did Allah-azwj Prescribe five timings for the Prayers upon your-saww community, during the times of the night and the day?’ The Prophet-saww said: ‘When the sun come to be in the atmosphere when it sets, there is a loop in which it enters. So when it enters into it, it sets. So, everything which is beneath the Throne Glorifies for the Sake of my-saww Lord-azwj, and it is the time in which my-saww Lord-azwj is Prayed to.

فافترض الله على وعلى أمتى فيها الصلوة، وقال: ” أقم الصلوة لدلوك الشمس إلى غسق الليل ” وهى الساعة التى يؤتى فيها بجهنم يوم القيامة، فما من مؤمن وفق له في تلك الساعة أن يقوم أو يسجد أو يركع إلا حرم الله جسده على النار،

Thus, Allah-azwj Obligated the Prayers therein upon me-saww and upon my-saww community, and Said [17:78] Establish the Prayer from the declining of the sun till the darkness of the night. And it is the time in which they will bring the hell on the Day of Judgement. So there is none from a Believer who stands, or Prostrates, or Bows in accordance to it, except that Allah-azwj Forbids his body unto the Fire.

وأما صلوة العصر فهى الساعة التى أكل آدم من الشجرة فأخرجه الله من الجنة، وأمر ذريته بهذه الصلوة إلى يوم القيامة واختارها لامتي، فهى أحب الصلوات إلى الله، وأوصاني ربى أن أحفظها من بين الصلوات،

As for Al-Asr Prayer, so it is the time in which Adam-as ate from the tree, therefore Allah-azwj Exited him from the Paradise, and Commanded his-as offspring with these Prayers up to the Day of Judgement, and Chose these for my-saww community. Thus, these are the most Beloved of the Prayers to Allah-azwj, and my-saww Lord-azwj Advised me-saww that I-saww should protect these from between the Prayers.

وأما صلوة المغرب فهى الساعة التى تاب الله على آدم، وكان بين ما أكل من الشجرة وبين ما تاب عليه ثلاث مائة سنة من أيام الدنيا، ويوم من أيام الآخرة ألف سنة، وكان ما بين العصر إلى العشاء، فصلى آدم ثلاث ركعات، ركعة لخطيئته، وركعة لخطيئة حواء، وركعة لتوبته، فافترض الله هذه الثلاث الركعات على أمتى، وهى الساعة التى يستجاب فيها الدعاء، ووعدني ربى أن يستجيب لمن دعاه فيها بالدعاء، وهى الصلوة التى أمرنى ربى بها فقال: سبحان الله حين تمسون وحين تصبحون،

And As for the Magrib Prayers, so it is the time in which Allah-azwj Turned to Adam-as (with Mercy), and there was in between him-as eating from the tree, and Allah-azwj Turning to him-as, three hundred years from the days of the world, and a thousand years from the days of the Hereafter, and what is in between Al-Asr to Al-Isha. So, Adam-as Prayed three Cycles, and one Cycle for his-as error, and one Cycle for the error of Hawwa-as, and one Cycle for his-as repentance. Thus, Allah-azwj Obligated these three Cycles upon my-saww community, and it is the time in which Allah-azwj Answers the supplication. And my-saww Lord-azwj has Promised me-saww that He-azwj will Answer the  one who supplicates with the supplication. And these are the Prayers which my-saww Lord-azwj has Commanded me-saww with, so Allah-azwj Said: [30:17] Therefore Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning.

وأما صلوة العشاء الاخرة، فان للقبر ظلمة، وليوم القيامة ظلمة، أمرنى الله وأمتى بهذه الصلوة في ذلك الوقت لينور القبر والصراط، وما من قدم مشت إلى صلوة العتمة إلا حرم الله صاحبها على النار، وهى الصلوة التى اختارها الله للمرسلين قبلى،

And as for the Isha Prayer, the last one, so it is for the darkness of the grave, and for the darkness of the Day of Judgement. Allah-azwj Commanded me-saww and my-saww Community with these Prayers during that time in order to Lighten up the grave and the Bridge. And there are none from the feet which walked to the Prayer in the darkness, except that Allah-azwj would forbid its owner upon the Fire. And it is the Prayer which Allah-azwj has Chosen for the Mursil Prophets-as before me-saww.

وأما صلوة الفجر، فان الشمس إذا طلعت تطلع على قرنى شيطان، فأمرني الله أن أصلى في ذلك الوقت صلوة الفجر، قبل طلوع الشمس من قبل أن يسجد لها الكفار، فتسجد أمتى لله، وسرعتها أحب إلى الله، وهى الصلوة التى تشهد لها ملائكة الليل وملائكة النهار،

And as for Al-Fajr Prayer, so when the sun emerges, so does a Satan-la. So Allah-azwj Commanded me-saww that I-saww should Pray in that time, Al-Fajr Prayer, before the emergence of the sun, before the Infidel prostrates to it. So my-saww community prostrates to Allah-azwj and hastens to be Loved by Allah-azwj. And it is the Prayer which the Angels of the night and the Angels of the day witness.

قالوا: صدقت يا محمد، فأخبرنا لاى شئ تغسل هذه الجوارح الاربع وهى أنظف المواضع في الجسد؟ – قال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: لما أن وسوس الشيطان إلى آدم (ع) دنا آدم من الشجرة، ونظر إليها ذهب ماء وجهه، ثم قام ومشى إليها، وهى أول قدم مشت إلى الخطيئة، ثم تناول بيده منها ما عليها وأكل، فطار الحلى والحلل عن جسده، فوضع آدم يده على أم راسه، وبكى، ثم تاب الله عليه وفرض عليه وعلى ذريته غسل هذه الجوارح الاربع، أمره بغسل الوجه لما أن نظر إلى الشجرة، وأمره بغسل الساعدين إلى المرفقين لما تناول بيده، وأمره بمسح الرأس لما وضعه على أم رأسه، وأمره بمسح القدمين لما أن مشى بها إلى الخطيئة.

They said, ‘You-saww have spoken the truth, O Muhammad-saww! So, inform us, for which thing these body parts have to be washed when these are the cleanest parts of the body?’ The Prophet-saww said: ‘When the Satan-la suggested unto Adam-as, he-as approached the tree and looked at it, the water of his-as face went away. Then he-as stood up, and walked towards it, and it was the first step walked towards the error. Then he-as took by his-as hand, from it and ate. So the ornaments and robes flew off from his-as body. So Adam-as placed his-as hands upon the top of his-as head and cried. Then Allah-azwj Sent towards him-as, and Obligated upon him-as and upon his-as offspring the washing of these four parts (of the body). Allah-azwj Commanded him-as to wash the face for having looked at the tree; and Commanding him-as to wash the two forearms up to the two elbows because he-as took it by his-as hands; and Commanded him-as (wash) the head because he-as placed (his-as hands) upon his-as head; and Commanded him for the wiping upon the feet, when he-as went by these to the error’.[1080]

عنه بهذا الاسناد، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): إن أصحاب الدهر يقولون: كيف صارت الصلوة ركعة وسجدتين، ولم تكن ركعتين وسجدتين؟ – فقال: إذا سألت عن شئ ففرغ قلبك لفهمه، إن الناس يزعمون أن أول صلوة صلاها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله صلاها في الارض أتاه جبرئيل بها وكذبوا،

From him, by this chain, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘The companions of the time are saying, ‘How did the Prayer come to be one Cycle and two Prostrations, and did not become one Cycle and one Prostration?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘When you ask something, so free your heart in order to understand. The people are alleging that the first Prayer which Rasool-Allah-saww Prayed was on the earth. Jibraeel-as came to him-saww with it, but they are lying.

إن أول صلوة صلاها في السماء بين يدى الله تبارك وتعالى مقابل عرشه جل جلاله، أوحى إليه وأمره أن يدنو من صاد، فيتوضأ، و قال: أسبغ وضوءك، وطهر مساجدك وصل لربك،

The first Prayer, Rasool-Allah-saww Prayed was in the sky in front of Allah-azwj Blessed and High, facing His-azwj Throne, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty. Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww, and Commanded him-saww that he-saww should approach [38:1] Saad. So he-saww performed ablution. And He-azwj Said: “Perfect your-saww ablution, and clean your-saww prostration places (Masjids), and Pray to your-saww Lord-azwj”.

قلت له: وما الصاد؟ – قال: عين تحت ركن من أركان العرش أعدت لمحمد صلى الله عليه وآله ثم قرأ أبو عبد الله (ع) ” ص والقرآن ذى الذكر ” فتوضأ منها وأسبغ وضوءه، ثم استقبل عرش الرحمن، فقام قائما فأوحى الله إليه بافتتاح الصلوة ففعل، ثم أوحى الله إليه بفاتحة الكتاب وأمره أن يقرأها،

I said to him-asws, ‘And what is the ‘Saad’?’ He-asws said: ‘A spring beneath a corner from the corners of the Throne, Prepared for Muhammad-saww’. Then Abu Abdullah-asws recited [38:1] Saad. I Swear by the Quran, full of Remembrance. So he-saww performed his-saww ablution from it, and perfected his-saww ablution, and faced the Throne of the Beneficent. So he-saww stood upright, and Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww with the Opening of the Prayer, so he-saww did that. Then, Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww, with the Opening of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha) and Commanded him-saww that he-saww should read it.

ثم أوحى إليه أن اقرأ يا محمد نسب ربك فقرأ: ” قل هو الله أحد، الله الصمد ” ثم أمسك تبارك وتعالى عنه القول، فقرأ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من تلقاء نفسه: ” الله أحد، الله الصمد، الله الواحد الاحد الصمد “،

Then Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww: “Read, O Muhammad-saww! Lineage your-saww Lord-azwj”. So Rasool-Allah-saww recited: [112:1] Say: He, Allah, is One. [112:2] Allah is the One on Whom all depend. Then the Blessed and High Held back the Speech from him-saww. So, Rasool-Allah-saww recited from his-saww own self: Allah-azwj is One, Allah-azwj is ‘Al-Samad’, the Alone, the One, the ‘Samad’.

ثم أوحى الله إليه تبارك وتعالى: أن اقرأ: ” لم يلد ولم يولد، ولم يكن له كفؤا أحد ” فقرأ وأمسك الله عنه القول، فقرأ رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله من تلقاء نفسه ” كذلك الله ربنا ”

Then, Allah-azwj Blessed and High Revealed unto him-saww: “Read – [112:3] He begets not, nor is He begotten. [112:4] And none is like Him. So he-saww recited it, and Allah-azwj Held back the Speech from him-saww. So, Rasool-Allah-saww recited from his-saww own self: ‘Such is Allah-azwj, our Lord-azwj’.

فلما قال ذلك أوحى الله إليه أن استو قائما لربك يا محمد وانحر، فاستوى ونصب نفسه بين يدى الله، فأوحى الله إليه أن اسجد لربك فخر ساجدا، فأوحى الله إليه أن استو جالسا يا محمد، ففعل، فلما رفع رأسه من أول السجدة تجلى له ربه تبارك وتعالى فخر ساجدا من تلقاء نفسه، لا لامر ربه، فجرى ذلك الفضل من الله وسنة من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله.

So when Rasool-Allah-saww said that, Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww: “Stand straight for your-saww Lord-azwj, O Muhammad-saww, and make a sacrifice”. So he-saww stood up and established himself-saww in front of Allah-azwj. So Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww: “Prostrate to your-saww Lord-azwj”. So he-saww fell down in prostration. And Allah-azwj Revealed unto him-saww: “Sit upright, O Muhammad-saww’. So he-saww did it. So when he-saww raised his-saww head from the first Prostration, his-azwj Lord-azwj Blessed and High Unveiled (His-azwj Light) unto him-saww, so he-saww fell down in prostration from his-saww own self, not by the Command of his-saww Lord-azwj. So that flowed as a Grace from Allah-azwj, and as a Sunnah from Allah-azwj and from Rasool-Allah-saww’.[1081]

So he said, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding a man who sees the ‘القنوت’ invocation, so he forgets it and does not offer ‘القنوت’?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘He should perform two Prostrations of forgetfulness (Sahw)’. So he said, ‘What are you-asws saying regarding a man who sees the ‘القنوت’ invocation, so he forgets it, but then he offers ‘القنوت’ (upon remembering it)?’ The Imam-asws laughed and said: ‘This is a man who forgot, so he got it right’.[1083]

Abu Abdullah-asws was asked about a man who Prayed the Obligatory Prayer, so when he raised his head from the second Prostration from the fourth Cycle (he breaks his ablution), shall he start anew?’ So he-asws said: ‘As for his Prayer, so it has passed, and as for the Tashahhud, so it is a Sunnah in the Prayer.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Mahran, from Al Qasim Al Zayaat, from Abdullah Bin Habeeb Bin Jandab who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I Prayed Al-Magrib with those ones, and I returned to it. So I feared that they might be surveying (looking) at me?’ He-asws said: ‘When you Pray for a second time, so sit yourself upon the ground, then rise up, and testify while you are standing, then bow and Prostrate, so they would be reckoning that it is an Optional (Prayer)’.[1087]

So I said, ‘If he recites, and I recite behind him?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So if I finish the Chapter before he is free from it?’ He-asws said: ‘Glorify Allah-azwj and Exclaim His-azwj Greatness.

And from him, from his father, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Ali Bin Mahziyar who said,

‘One of our companions said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What is the matter that Rasool-Allah-saww did not shorten the Magrib Prayer during the travel as well as hazards along with its optional (Salaat)?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Because the Salaat used to consist of two Cycles or/and two Cycles. So Rasool-Allah-saww increased two Cycles to each of the two Cycles (which are now four cycles), and placed is (away) from the traveller, but let the Magrib upon its aspect (three cycles) during the travels and hazards, and did not shorten in the Cycles of Al-Fajr in order to the whole of the Prayers to be seventeen Cycles during the travel and the hazards’.[1095]

وعنه، عن أبيه رفع الحديث، قال: قال جعفر بن بشير: وحدثني محمد بن الحسين، عن جعفر بن بشير، قال: سئل أحدهم عن رجل ذكر أنه لم يسجد في الركعتين الاوليين إلا سجدة وهو في التشهد الاول؟ – قال: فليسجدها ثم ينهض، وإن ذكره وهو في التشهد الثاني قبل أن يسلم فليسجدها ثم يسلم ويسجد سجدتي السهو.

And from him, from his father, raising the Hadeeth from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ja’far Bin Bashir who said,

‘One of them-asws (5th or 6th Imam-asws was asked about a man who remembered that he had not Prostrated in the first two Cycles, except for one Prostration, and he was in the first Tashahhud?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘He should Prostrate it, then rise, and if he remembered it and he is in the second Tashahhud, before he greets (finishes the Prayer), so he should Prostrate it, then greet, then Prostrate the Prostration of the forgetfulness (Sahw)’.[1096]

And from him, from Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Muhammad Bin Hafs, from Sabah Al Haza’a, from Qasam,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Inform me about the Zakaat, how did it come to be twenty five from every thousand? – and did not come to be less or more, what is its reason?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Created all the people, so He-azwj Recognises their small ones and their great ones, and their rich ones and the poor ones. So, He-azwj Made from every thousand human beings, twenty five poor ones. Therefore, Allah-azwj in accordance to that, Commanded for the Zakaat. And if only they knew that there is no leeway for increasing for them, because Allah-azwj Created them and is more Knowing of them’.[1097]

وعنه، عن على بن محمد القاسانى، عن القاسم بن محمد، عن أبى أيوب وحفص بن غياث، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: سألته عن نساء اليهود والنصارى والمجوس، كيف سقطت عنهن الجزية ورفعت؟ – قال: لان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله نهى عن قتل النساء والولدان في الحرب الا أن تقاتل،

From him, from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Abu Ayoub and Hafs Bin Gayas,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the Jewish, and the Christian, and the Magian women, how the tax was reduced from them and raised?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Because Rasool-Allah-saww Prohibited from killing the women and the children during the war except if they were fighting’.

ثم قال: وإن قاتلت فأمسك اعنها ما أمكنك ولم تخف خللا، فلما نهى عن قتلهم في دار الحرب كان ذلك في دار الاسلام أولى، فلو امتنعت أن تؤدى الجزية كانوا ناقضى العهد، وحلت دمائهم وقتلهم، لان قتل الرجال مباح في دار الشرك وكذلك المقعد من أهل الذمة والاعمى والشيخ الفاني ليس عليهم جزية، لانه لا يمكن قتلهم لما نهى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله عن قتل المقعد والاعمى والشيخ الفاني والمرأة والولدان في دار الحرب، فمن أجل ذلك رفعت عنهم الجزية.

Then the Imam-asws said: ‘Even if they are inclined to flight but try to avoid their killing, and Rasool-Allahaww has forbidden killing them during the war, and in peace and stability, targeting them is strictly forbidden.  If they stop paying taxes ‘الجزية’ then they have violated the agreement and spilling their blood will be justified.  This would be the killing of their men, as Rasool-Allahaww said it is not permissible to kill the infirm, old, and disabled, along with children and women even in the war, this is the reason taxes ‘الجزية’ is not applicable on the latter ones.[1098]

عنه، عن على بن محمد القاسانى، عن القاسم بن محمد، عن سليمان بن داود، عن فضيل بن غياث، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): ما معنى هذه اللفظة ” الحج الاكبر “؟ – قال: لانها هي السنة التى حج فيها المسلمون والمشركون بأجمعهم، ثم لم يحج المشركون بعد تلك السنة.

From him, from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood, from Fazeyl Bin Gayaas who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What is the meaning of these words, ‘[9:3] ‘الحج الاكبرThe greater Hajj?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Because it was the year in which the Muslims and the Polytheists performed Hajj. Then the Polytheists did not perform Hajj after that year’.[1099]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن داود بن القاسم قال: قال: سئل أحدهم عن الواحد ما هو؟ – قال: المجتمع عليه بجميع الالسن بالوحدانية.

And from him, from his father, from Dawood Bin Al Qasim who said,

‘One of them-asws (5th or 6th Imam-asws) was asked about the ‘الواحد’ One, what is it?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘The gathering to Him-azwj of all the tongues (narrating) with the Oneness’.[1100]

عنه، عن على بن السندي، قال: حدثنى معلى بن محمد البصري، عن على بن أسباط، عن عبد الله بن محمد صاحب الحجال، قال: قلت لجميل بن دراج، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: إذا أتاكم شريف قوم فأكرموه؟ – قال: نعم، قلت: فما الحسب؟ فقال: الذى يفعل الافعال الحسنة بماله وغير ماله، فقلت: فما الكرم؟ – فقال: التقى.

From him, from Ali Bin Al Sindy, from Moala Bin Muhammad Al Basry, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, author of Al Hajaal, who said,

‘I said to Jamil Bin Daraaj, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘If the noble person come to you, be benevolent with him?’ He said, ‘Yes’. I said, ‘So what is the ancestry?’ So he said, ‘By which he does the good deeds with his wealth and other than his wealth’. So I said, ‘So what is the benevolence?’ So he said, ‘To assemble together’.[1101]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عمن ذكره، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) في قول الله عزوجل: ” إن الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي، يا أيها الذين آمنو صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما ” فقال: قال: أثنوا عليه وسلموا له، فقلت: كيف علمت الرسل أنها رسل؟ – قال: كشف عنها الغطاء، قلت: بأى شئ علم المؤمن أنه مؤمن؟ – قال: بالتسليم لله والرضى بما ورد عليه من سرور وسخط.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from the one who mentioned it,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws regarding the Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic [33:56] Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Blessings upon the Prophet; O you who believe! Send blessings upon him and submit to him with a (complete) submission.

So the Imam-asws said: ‘Acting upon his-saww command and submitting to him-as’. So I said, ‘How does the Rasool-saww know that he-saww is a Rasool-saww?’ The (Imam) said;      ‘كشف عنها الغطاء’ Revelation of the Hidden from him-saww’. I asked, ‘Does ‘المؤمن’ the (Believer) know that he is a ‘مؤمن’ (Believer)?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘By the submission to Allah-azwj, and being pleased with what came to him from the joy and the anger’.[1102]

وعنه، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبى نصر، عن الحسين بن خالد قال: قلت للرضا (ع): إنا روينا حديثا عن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله أنه قال: من شرب الخمر لم يقبل له صلوة أربعين يوما، فقال: صدقوا، قلت: فكيف لا يقبل صلوته أربعين يوما، لا أقل منه ولا أكثر؟

And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, form Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘We are reporting a Hadeeth from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The one who drinks wine, his Salaat would not be Accepted for forty days’. So he-asws said: ‘It is true’. I said, ‘So how can his Prayer not be Accepted for forty days, neither less than that nor more?’

– قال: لان الله تبارك وتعالى قدر خلق الانسان، فجعلها نطفة أربعين يوما، ثم صيرها بعد ذلك علقة أربعين يوما، ثم صيرها بعد ذلك مضغة أربعين يوما، فإذا شرب الخمر بقيت في مشاشته أربعين يوما.

The Imam-asws said: ‘Because Allah-azwj Blessed and High Pre-determined the Creation of the human being, so He-azwj Made him a seed for forty days, then after that Caused it to become a clot for forty days, after that Caused it to become lump of flesh, for forty days. So when wine is drunk, it remains in his bones for forty days’.[1103]

(The narrator says) Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘Which thing of ‘الله أكبر’ Allah-azwj is the greatest?’ So I said, ‘No, by Allah-azwj, I do not know except that I see Him-azwj as Greater than everything’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘And He-azwj existed, and then there were things, so how was He-azwj greater than it?’ I said, ‘And which of Allah-azwj is the greatest?’ He-asws said: ‘He-azwj is Greater than from what can be described (beyond description)’.[1104]

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن مروك بن عبيد، عن سنان بن طريف، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) أنه قال: لم سمى المؤمن مؤمنا؟ – فقلت: لا أدرى، إلا أنه أراه يؤمن بما جاء من عند الله، فقال: صدقت وليس لذلك سمى المؤمن مؤمنا، فقلت: لم سمى المؤمن مؤمنا؟ – قال: إنه يؤمن على الله يوم القيامة فيجيز أمانه.

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Marwak Bin Ubeyd, from Sinan Bin Tareyf,

Abu Abdullah-asws, having said, ‘Why has ‘المؤمن’ (the Believer) been named as a Believer?’ So I said, ‘I do not know, except that I see him as having believed in what has come from the Presence of Allah-azwj’. So he-asws said: ‘You have spoken the Truth, but it is not due to that, the Believer has been named as a Believer’. So I said, ‘Why has the Believer been named as a Believer?’  He-asws said: ‘Because he believes upon Allah-azwj to Authorise his safety on the Day of Judgement’.[1105]

عنه، عن أبيه ويعقوب بن يزيد جميعا، عن محمد بن أبى عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، قال: قال ابن أبى العوجاء للاحول: ما بال المرأة الضعيفة لها سهم واحد، وللرجل القوى الموسر له سهمان؟ – فذكرت ذلك لابي عبد الله (ع) فقال: إن المرأة ليس عليها عاقلة ولا نفقة ولا جهاد (وعد أشياء من نحو هذا)، وهذا على الرجل، فلذلك جعل للرجل سهمان وللمرأة سهم.

From him, from his father and Yaqoub Bin Yazeed together, from Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Saalim who said,

‘Ibn Abu Al-Awja said to Al-Ahowl, ‘What is the matter that the weak woman has one portion (from inheritance) for her, whilst the strong man has two portions for him?’ So I mentioned that to Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws said: ‘The woman, it is not upon her, the rationale, nor expenses, nor Jihad (and a number of things similar to this), and this is upon the man. Thus, it is due to that two portions are Made to be for the man, and for the woman, one portion’.[1106]

And from him, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Al Qasim Bin Urwat, from Abdul Hameed Al Ta’aiy, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Aheym, from the one who reported who said,

‘It was said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Why were there made to be four witnesses for the adultery, and only two witnesses for the murder?’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Permitted the Mut’ah (temporary marriage) and Knew that it is a matter which would be disliked upon you, so He-azwj Made the four witnesses as a protection for you, and had it not been for that, it would have come against you, and it is rare that four would gather upon testifying over one matter’.[1109]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن أحمد بن محمد بن أبى نصر، عن عبد الكريم الحلبي، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: قلت: لم جعل استلام الحجر؟ – فقال: إن الله حيث أخذ ميثاق بنى آدم دعا الحجر من الجنة فأمره بالتقام الميثاق، فالتقمه، فهو يشهد لمن وافاه بالحق،

And from him, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem Al Halby,

I said, ‘So why was the Sa’ee made to be between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa?’ He-asws Because Iblees-la appeared to Ibrahim-as in the valley, so Ibrahim briskly walked away from him-la out of abhorrence from having to speak to him-la, and these were the places of the Satan-la’.

قلت: فلم جعل التلبية؟ – قال: لان الله قال لابراهيم: ” وأذن في الناس بالحج ” فصعد إبراهيم (ع) على تل، فنادى، فأسمع، فأجيب من كل وجه،

I said, ‘So why was Talbiyya made to be?’ He-asws said: ‘Because Allah-azwj Said to Ibrahim-as: [22:27] And proclaim among the people for the Pilgrimage. So Ibrahim-as ascended upon a hillock and called out, and it was heard. So he-as was answered from all directions’.

قلت: فلم سميت التروية تروية؟ – قال: لانه لم يكن بعرفات ماء، وإنما كانوا يحملون الماء من مكة، فكان ينادى بعضهم لبعض: ” ترويتم ” فسمى يوم التروية.

I said, ‘So why was Al-Tarwiyya named as Tarwiyya?’ He-asws said: ‘Because there did not happen to be any water at Arafat. But rather, they used to carry the water from Makkah. So some of them used to call out to the others, ‘You are irrigating’ (ترويتم), thus the day of Al-Tarwiyya was named as such’.[1110]

وعنه، عن على بن محمد القاسانى، عن القاسم بن محمد، عن سليمان بن داود المنقرى، عن أحمد بن يونس، عن أبى هاشم، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن الخلود في الجنة والنار؟ – فقال: أنما خلد أهل النار في النار لان نياتهم كانت في الدنيا أن لو خلدوا فيها أن يعصوا الله أبدا، وإنما خلد أهل الجنة في الجنة لان نياتهم كانت في الدنيا أن لو بقوا فيها أن يطيعوا الله أبدا، فبالنيات خلد هؤلاء وهؤلاء، ثم تلا قوله تعالى: ” قل كل يعمل على شاكلته ” أي على نيته.

And from him, from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al Manqary, from Ahmad Bin Yunus, from Abu Hashim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the eternal life in the Paradise and the Fire?’ So he-asws said: ‘But rather, eternity for the inhabitants of the Fire, in the Fire, is because their intentions in the world were such that they had been therein forever, they would have disobeyed Allah-azwj forever. But rather, eternity for the inhabitants of the Paradise is because their intentions were such in the world that hand they remain therein, they would have obeyed Allah-azwj forever. Thus, it is due to the intentions that eternity is for these ones as well as for those ones’. Then the Imam-asws recited the Words of the High [17:84] Say: Every one acts according to his own disposition – i.e., upon his intention’.[1111]

عنه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، وأبوه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن ابن أذينة، عن بكير بن أعين، عن أبى جعفر (ع) قال: قلت له: رجل شك ولم يدر أربعا صلى أو اثنتين وهو قاعد؟ – قال: يركع ركعتين وأربع سجدات وهو جالس.

From him, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, and his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina, from Bakeyr Bin Ayn,

‘I said to Abu Ja’far-asws, ‘A man doubts and does not know whether he Prayed four (Cycles) or two, and he is seated?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘He should perform two bowings and four Prostrations, while he is seated’.[1112]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن بعض رجاله، قال: قال أبو سعيد الخدرى، كنت مع النبي صلى الله عليه وآله بمكة إذ ورد عليه أعرابي طويل القامة عظيم الهامة، محتزم بكساء وملتحف بعبآء قطوانى، قد تنكب قوسا له وكنانة، فقال للنبى صلى الله عليه وآله: يا محمد أين على بن أبى طالب من قلبك؟ – فبكى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله بكاء شديدا حتى ابتلت وجنتاه من دموعه، وألصق خده بالارض، ثم وثب كالمنفلت من عقاله، وأخذ بقائمة المنبر،

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his men, from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,

‘I was in the presence of the Holy Prophet-saww at Makkah, when a tall Bedouin with a great head came up wearing respectable clothes and wrapped up in a Qatwany cloak, carrying a bow of his and a quiver. So he said, ‘O Muhammad-saww! Where is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws from your-saww heart?’ So Rasool-Allah-saww cried with an intense crying to the extent that his-saww face was affected from his-saww tears, and he-saww placed his-saww cheek upon the ground. Then Rasool-Allah-saww rose up and grabbed a section of the Pulpit.

ثم قال: يا أعرابي والذى فلق الحبة وبرأ النسمة وسطح الارض على وجه الماء لقد سألتنى عن سيد كل أبيض وأسود، وأول من صام وزكى وتصدق، وصلى القبلتين، وبايع البيعتين، وهاجر الهجرتين، وحمل الرايتين، وفتح بدرا وحنين، ثم لم يعص الله طرفة عين،

Then he-saww said: ‘O Bedouin! By the One-azwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person on the surface of the earth and the face of the water, you have asked me-saww about the Chief of every white and black (person), and the first one to Fast, and give Zakaat, and charity, and Pray to the two Qiblahs, and pledged two allegiances, and emigrated with two emigrations, and carried two flags, and conquered Badr and Hunayn, then did not disobey Allah-azwj even for the blink of an eye’.

قال: فغاب الاعرابي من بين يدى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لابي سعيد: يا أخا جهينة هل عرفت من كان يخاطبني في ابن عمى على بن أبيطالب؟ – فقال: الله و رسوله أعلم، قال: كان والله جبرئيل، هبط من السماء ألى الارض ليأخذ عهودكم و مواثيقكم لعلى بن أبى طالب (ع).

The Imam-asws said: ‘Then the Bedouin disappeared from in front of Rasool-Allah-saww. So Rasool-Allah-saww said to Abu Saeed (Al-Khudry): ‘O brother of Juheyna! Did you recognise who was the one who addressed me-saww with regards to my-saww cousin Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws?’ So he said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By Allah-azwj, it was Jibraeel-as, having descended from the sky to the earth in order to take your oaths and your Covenants for Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws’.[1113]

عنه، عن أبى طالب عبد الله بن الصلت، عن أبى هدية، قال: حدثنى أنس بن مالك أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله كان ذات يوم جالسا على باب الدار ومعه على بن أبى طالب (ع) إذ أقبل شيخ فسلم على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله لعلى (ع): أتعرف الشيخ؟ – فقال على (ع)، ما أعرفه، فقال صلى الله عليه وآله: هذا إبليس، فقال على (ع): لو علمت يا رسول الله لضربته ضربة بالسيف، فخلصت أمتك منه، قال: فانصرف إبليس إلى على فقال له: ظلمتني يا أبا الحسن، أما سمعت الله عزوجل يقول: ” وشاركهم في الاموال والاولاد ” فو الله ما شاركت أحدا أحبك في أمه.

From him, from Abu Talib Abdullah Bin Salt, from Abu Hadiya who said,

‘Anas Bin Malik narrated to me that one day Rasool-Allah-saww was seated at the door of the house and with him-saww was Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, when an old man came up and greeted Rasool-Allah-saww. So Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘Do you-asws recognise the old man?’ So Ali-asws said: ‘(please) inform me-asws’. So Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘This is Iblees-la’. So Ali-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws, O Rasool-Allah-saww, finish him-la off with one strike of my-asws sword to save your-saww community (from being destroyed by him-la)?’. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘So Iblees-la went to Ali-asws and said to him-asws, ‘You-asws are being unjust to me-la, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws, but, have you-asws not heard Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Saying [17:64] and share with them in wealth and the children. So, by Allah-azwj, I-la not be an associate with anyone in his mother, the one who loves you-asws’.[1114]

عنه، عن على بن حسان الواسطي رفع الحديث قال: أتت امرأة من الجن إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فآمنت به وحسن إسلامها، فجعلت تجئ كل أسبوع، فغابت عنه أربعين يوما ثم أتته، فقال لها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ما الذى أبطأك يا جنية؟ – فقالت: يا رسول الله أتيت البحر الذى هو محيط بالدنيا في أمر أردته، فرأيت على شط ذلك البحر صخرة خضراء وعليها رجل جالس قد رفع يديه إلى السماء وهو يقول: ” اللهم إنى أسألك بحق محمد وعلى وفاطمة والحسن والحسين إلا ما غفرت لى “،

From him, from Ali Bin Hasaan Al Wasity, raising the Hadeeth, said,

‘There came to Rasool-Allah-saww, a female Jinn. So she believed in him-saww and her Islam was good. So she ended up coming every week. She was absent from him-saww for forty days, then she turned up. So Rasool-Allah-saww said to her: ‘What slowed you down, O Jinni?’ So she said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I came up to the sea which encompasses the world with regard to a matter which I intended for. So I saw upon the coast of that sea, a green rock, and upon it was a man seated, and he had his hands raised towards the sky and he was saying, ‘Our Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, that You-azwj should Forgive me’.

فقلت له: من أنت؟ – قال: أنا إبليس، فقلت، ومن أين تعرف هؤلاء؟ – قال: إنى عبدت ربى في الارض كذا وكذا سنة، وعبدت ربى في السماء كذا وكذا سنة، ما رأيت في السماء أسطوانة إلا وعليها مكتوب ” لا إله إلا الله، محمد رسول الله، على أمير المؤمنين أيدته به “.

So I said to him, ‘Who are you?’ He said, ‘I am Iblees-la’. So I said, ‘And from where do you recognise them-asws?’ He-la said: ‘I-la worshipped my-la Lord-azwj in the earth for such and such years, and I-la worshipped my-la Lord-azwj in the sky for such and such years. I did not see in the sky any pillar except that there was Inscribed upon it: ‘There is no god except for Allah-azwj; Muhammad-saww is His-azwj Rasool-saww; Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he-saww (Rasool-Allah-saww) is supported by him-asws’.[1115]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن أبى هاشم الجعفري رفع الحديث قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع)، دخل أمير المؤمنين (صلوات الله عليه) المسجد ومعه الحسن (ع) فدخل رجل، فسلم عليه، فرد عليه شبيها بسلامه، فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين جئت أسألك فقال: سل، قال: أخبرني عن الرجل إذا نام أين تكون روحه؟ – وعن المولود الذى يشبه أباه كيف يكون؟ – وعن الذكر والنسيان كيف يكونان؟ –

From him, from his father, from Abu Hashim Al Ja’fary, raising the Hadeeth, said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws entered the Masjid and with him-asws was Al-Hassan-asws. A man came up and greeted him-asws, so he-asws returned it with a similar greeting. So he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I have come to ask you-asws’. So he-asws said: ‘Ask’. He said, ‘Inform me about the man when he sleeps, where does his soul go to? – And about the male born who resembles his father, how that happens? – and about the remembrance and the forgetfulness, how do they come to be?’

قال: فنظر أمير المؤمنين (ع) إلى الحسن (ع) فقال: أجبه، فقال الحسن: إن الرجل إذا نام فان روحه متعلقة بالريح، والريح متعلقة بالهواء، فإذا أراد الله أن يقبض روحه جذب الهواء الريح، وجذبت الريح الروح، وإذا أراد الله أن يردها في مكانها جذبت الروح الريح، وجذبت الريح الهواء، فعادت إلى مكانها،

The Imam-asws added then Amir Al-Momineen-asws looked towards Al-Hassan-asws and said: ‘Answer him’. So Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘When the man sleeps, his soul meets with the winds, and the winds meet up with the atmosphere. So when Allah-azwj Intends to Capture his soul, the atmosphere attracts the wind, and the wind attracts the soul. And when Allah-azwj Intends to Return it in its place, the soul attracts the wind, and the wind attracts the atmosphere. Thus it returns to its place.

وأما المولود الذى يشبه أباه، فان الرجل أذا واقع أهله بقلب ساكن وبدن غير مضطرب وقعت النطفة في الرحم، فيشبه الولد أباه، وإذا واقعها بقلب شاغل وبدن مضطرب، فوقعت النطفة في الرحم، فان وقعت على عرق من عروق أعمامه يشبه الولد أعمامه، وإن وقعت على عرق من عروق أخواله يشبه الولد أخواله،

And as for the male born who resembles his father, so it is when the man comes to his wife with a tranquil heart, and a body which is not restless, the seed occurs in the womb, therefore child resembles its father. But when he comes to her with a concerned heart and a restless body, so the seed occurs in the womb. So if it occurs upon a vein from the veins of his paternal uncles, so the boy would resemble his paternal uncle, and if it occurs upon a vein from the veins of his maternal uncles, the boy would resemble his maternal uncle.

وأما الذكر والنسيان، فان القلب في حق، والحق مطبق عليه، فإذا أراد الله أن يذكر القلب سقط الطبق، فذكر،

And as for the remembrance and the forgetfulness. So, for the heart there are layers upon it. So when Allah-azwj Intends that the heart should remember, a layer drops off, so it remembers’.

فقال الرجل: ” أشهد أن لا إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله، وأشهد أن أباك أمير المؤمنين وصى محمد حقا حقا، ولم أزل أقوله، وأشهد أنك وصيه، وأشهد أن الحسين وصيك، حتى أتى على آخرهم “،

So the man said: ‘I testify that there is no god except for Allah-azwj with no associates to Him-azwj; and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww; and I testify that your-asws father-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws is a successor-asws of Muhammad-saww, truly, truly; and I will not stop saying it. And I testify that you-asws are his-asws successor-asws; and I testify that Al-Husayn-asws is your-asws successor-asws, until I come to the last of them-asws’.

فقال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): فمن كان الرجل؟ – قال: الخضر (ع).

So he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘So who was the man?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Al-Khizr-as’.[1116]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن جميل بن دراج، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن شئ من الحلال والحرام؟ – فقال: إنه لم يجعل شئ إلا لشئ

And from him, from his father, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Jameel Bin Daraaj who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about something from the Permissible and the Prohibited?’ So he-asws said: ‘(Allah-azwj) did not Make anything but for something’.[1117]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن عبيد بن زرارة، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: كنت عند زياد بن عبيدالله وجماعة من أهل بيتى، فقال، يا بنى على ويا بنى فاطمة ما فضلكم على الناس؟ – فسكتوا، فقلت: إن من فضلنا على الناس أنا لا نحب أنا من أحد سوانا، وليس أحد من الناس لا يحب أنه منا إلا أشرك، ثم قال: ارووا هذا.

And from him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Usmaan, from Ubeyd Bin Zarara,

Abu Abdullah-asws says I-asws was in the presence of Ziyad Bin Abdullah and a group of my-asws family members. So he said, ‘O sons of Ali-asws and Fatima-asws! What is your merit over the people?’ So they were silent, so I-asws said: ‘From our-asws merits over the people is that I-asws do not love myself-asws to be from anyone except from us-asws, and there is none from the people who does not love to be from us-asws except that he is included’. Then the Imam-asws said (to us): ‘You may report this’.[1118]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن حريز بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن إسحق، قال: قال أبو جعفر (ع): أتدرى من أين صارت مهور النساء أربعة آلاف؟ – قلت: لا، قال: إن أم حبيبة بنت أبى سفيان كانت بالحبش، فخطبها النبي صلى الله عليه وآله فساق عنه النجاشي أربعة آلاف، فمن ثمة ترى هؤلاء يأخذون به، فأما المهر فاثنا عشر أوقية ونش.

And from him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Hareyz Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Is’haq who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Do you know from where the dowry of the women came to be four thousand?’ I said, ‘No’. He-asws said: ‘Umm Habiba, daughter of Abu Sufyan was at Ethiopia. So the Prophet-saww addressed her, but Al-Najjashi bound it at four thousand Dirhams. So the one who see those, should take by it. But, as for the dowry, it is twelve thousand ounces (of gold?) and nothing more’.[1119]

وعنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن مالك بن عطية، عن حبيب السجستاني، قال: قال أبو جعفر (ع): إنما سميت سدرة المنتهى لان أعمال أهل الارض تصعد بها الملائكة الحفظة إلى محل السدرة، وقال: الحفظة الكرام البررة دون السدرة، يكتبون ما ترفعه إليهم الملائكة من أعمال العباد في الارض وينتهون بها إلى محل السدرة.

And from him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Maalik Bin Atiya, from Habeeb Al Sajastany who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘But rather, Sidrat Al-Muntaha has been named as such because the Protective Angels ascend with the deeds of the people of the earth to a place of Al-Sidrat’. And the Imam-asws said: ‘The honourable protectors are the righteous, besides Al-Sidrat. They are writing what the Angel raise to them, from the deeds of the servants in the earth, and they end up with these to a place of Al-Sidrat’.[1120]

وعنه، عن محمد بن على، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن عبد الرحمان بن سالم، عن المفضل بن عمر قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع: أخبرني جعلت فداك لم حرم الله الخمر والميتة والدم ولحم الخنزير؟ – فقال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لم يحرم ذلك على عباده وأحل لهم سواه من رغبة منه فيما حرم عليهم ولا زهدا فيما أحل لهم، ولكنه عزوجل خلق الخلق وعلم ما يقوم به أبدانهم وما يصلحهم، فأحله لهم وأباحه تفضلا منه عليهم به تبارك وتعالى لمصلحتهم وعلم عزوجل ما يضرهم فنهاهم عنه وحرمه عليهم، ثم أباحه للمضطر وأحله في الوقت الذى لا يقوم بدنه إلا به، فأمره أن ينال منه بقدر البلغة لا غير ذلك،

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Abdul Rahman Bin Saalim, from Al Mufazzal, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Inform me, may I be sacrificed for you-asws, why did Allah-azwj Forbid the wine, and the dead, and the blood, and the flesh of the swine?’ So the Iman-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and High did not Forbid that upon His-azwj servants, and Permitted for them the rest of it due to the wishing from it regarding what is Forbidden unto them, nor due to the ascetism regarding what was Permissible unto them. But, the Mighty and Majestic Created the creatures, and Knows what their bodies are strengthened with and what is correct for them, thus He-azwj Permitted it for them, and Allowed it by His-azwj Grace unto them, the Blessed and High, for them for their own correctness. And the Mighty and Majestic Knows what harms them, so He-azwj Prevent it from them and Prohibited it to them. Then Allah-azwj Allowed the restless, and Permitted it for him at a time when his body cannot stand except by it. So Allah-azwj Commanded him to take from it accordingly, but not other than that.

ثم قال: أما الميتة فلا يدمنها أحد إلا ضعف بدنه ونحل جسمه وذهبت قوته وانقطع نسله، ولا يموت آكل الميتة إلا فجاءة،

Then the Imam-asws said: ‘But, as for the dead, no one partakes it except that it weakens his body, and wastes away his body, and his strength goes away, and his lineage is cut off. And the eater of the dead does not die, except for suddenly’.

وأما الدم فانه يورث آكله الماء الاصفر ويبخر الفم ويسئ الخلق، ويورث الكلف والقسوة للقلب، وقلة الرأفة والرحمة، حتى لا يؤمن أن يقتل ولده ووالديه، ولا يؤمن على حميمه، ولا يؤمن على من يصحبه،

And as for the blood, so its consumer would inherit the yellow water, and steaming of the mouth, and evil manners, and inherit the freckles and cruelty of the heart, and lack of compassion and mercy, to the extent that there would be no safety if he were to kill his children, or his parents, and there is no safety upon his intimate spouse, nor any safety upon his companions.

وأما لحم الخنزير فان الله تبارك وتعالى مسخ قوما في صور شتى شبه الخنزير والدب والقرد وما كان من الامساخ، ثم نهى عن أكلها وأكل شبهها لكى لا ينتفع بها ولا يستخف بعقوبته،

And as for the flesh of the swine, so Allah-azwj Blessed and High Metamorphosed a people in various images, resembling the pigs, and the bears, and the monkeys, and whatever was from the metamorphosed ones. Then Allah-azwj Forbid from eating it, and eating what resembles it as there is no benefit with it, and (the people) should not underestimate the Punishment (for eating these).

وأما الخمر فانه حرمها لقطها وفسادها، وقال: مد من الخمر يورث الارتعاش، ويذهب بنوره، ويهدم مروءته، ويحمله على أن يجسر على المحارم من سفك الدماء وركوب الزنا، ولا يؤمن إذا سكر أن يثب على من حرمه ولا يعقل ذلك، والخمر لا تزيد شاربها ألا كل شر.

And as for the wine, so Allah-azwj Forbade it due to its corruption and Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘A handful of the wine would make one inherit the jitters, and his light would go away, and demolish his manhood, and carry him upon that he would have the audacity upon the Prohibition from the shedding of the blood and indulging in adultery. And there is no safety when he is intoxicated, that he would not pounce upon the one who is forbidden unto him, nor would he make sense of that. And the wine, it does not increase its drinker, except for every evil’.[1121]

وعنه، عن محمد بن على، عن عمرو بن عثمان، عن محمد بن عبد الله، عن رجل، عن أبى عبد الله (كذا فيما عندي من النسخ).

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Amro Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from a man,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws (for example, what is in my possession from the metamorphosis)’.[1122]

وعنه، عن محمد بن على عن محمد بن أسلم، عن الحسين بن خالد، قال: سألت أبا الحسن موسى (ع) عن الفيل، هل يحل أكله؟ – فقال: لا، فقلت: ولم ذلك؟ – قال: لانه مثلة، وقد حرم الله لحوم الامساخ ولحوم ما مثل به في صورها.

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan Musa-as about the elephant, is it permissible to eat it?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘No’. So I said, ‘And why is that?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Because it is a resemblance, and Allah-azwj has Forbidden the flesh of the metamorphosed ones, and also the flesh of that which resembles to its image’.[1123]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن عمرو بن عثمان، عن الحسين بن خالد قال: كتبت لابي – الحسن (ع): كيف صار الحاج لا يكتب عليه ذنب أربعة أشهر من يوم يحلق رأسه؟ – فقال: إن الله أباح للمشركين الحرم أربعة أشهر إذ يقول: ” فسيحوا في الارض أربعة أشهر ” فأباح للمؤمنين إذا زاروه جلاء من الذنوب أربعة أشهر، وكانوا أحق بذلك من المشركين.

And from him, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Al Husayn Bin Khalid who said,

‘I wrote to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘How did the Pilgrim become such that no sin is Written against him for four months from the day he shaves off his head?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Permitted for the Polytheists, four months when He-azwj Said [9:2] So go about in the land for four months. So Allah-azwj Permitted for the Believers, when they visit Him-azwj, evacuation from the sins for four months. And they were more deserving of that than the Polytheists’.[1124]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن بعض أصحابه، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: من علم أنا لا نقول إلا حقا فليكتف منا بما نقول، فان سمع منا خلاف ما يعلم فليعلم أن ذلك دفاع منا عنه.

And from him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from one of his companions,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The one, who knows that we-asws do not speak except for truth, should be content with what we-asws are saying. So if he were to hear from us-asws different from what he already knows, so he should know that, that is a defence from us-asws for him’.[1125]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ثعلبة، عن معاوية، قال سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن عرفات، لم سمى عرفات؟ – فقال: إن جبرئيل (ع) خرج بابراهيم (ع) خصوصية يوم عرفة، فلما زالت الشمس قال له جبرئيل: ” يا إبراهيم اعترف بذنبك، واعرف مناسكك “، وقد عرفه ذلك فسميت عرفات لقول جبرئيل (ع): ” اعترف واعرف “.

And from him, from his father, from Sa’alba, from Muawiya who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Arafat, why was it named as Arafat?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘Jibraeel-as went out with Ibrahim-as especially on the day of Arafat. So when sun set, Jibraeel-as said to him-as: ‘O Ibrahim-as! Acknowledge your-as errors, and recognise your-as rituals’. So he-as recognised that. Thus, Arafat was named as such due to the words of Jibraeel (اعترف واعرف)’.[1126]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن إسماعيل بن جابر وعبد الكريم بن عمرو، عن عبد الحميد بن أبى الديلم، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: إن الله اصطفى آدم ونوحا، وهبطت حواء على المروة، وإنما سميت المروة لان المرئة هبطت عليها، فقطع للجبل إسم من إسم المراة، وسمى النساء لانه لم يكن لآدم أنس غير حواء، وسمى المعرف لان آدم اعترف عليه بذنبه،

And from him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ismail Bin Jabir and Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Abdul Hameed Bin Abu Al Daylam,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj Chose Adam-as and Noah-as, and Caused Hawwa-as to descend upon Al-Marwa. But rather it has been named as Al-Marwa because the woman (المرئة) descended upon it. So the section of the mountain was named from the name of the woman, and the woman (النساء) because Adam-as did not have loving kindness for other than Hawwa-as. And Al-Ma’raf (Arafat) has been named as such because Adam-as acknowledged (اعترف) his-as error over there.

وسميت جمع لان آدم (ع) أمر أن ينبطح في بطحاء جمع، فانبطح حتى انفجر الصبح، ثم أمر أن يصعد جبيل جمع، وأمر إذا طلعت الشمس أن يعترف بذنبه، ففعل ذلك آدم (ع)، وإنما جعله اعترافا ليكون سنة في ولده، فقرب قربانا وأرسل الله تبارك وتعالى نارا من السماء فقبضت قربان آدم (ع).

And the gathering (جمع) has been named as such because Adam-as was Commanded to walk about in all of the land of ‘بطحاء’ (Mecca), so Adam-as continued to walk until the Fajr time, so then he-as was asked to go to the top of the mountain and when the sun rose he-as was Commanded to ask for Forgiveness, thus this was collectively accomplished by Adam-as which became Sunnah for his-as children.  Then Adam-as offered a sacrifice, which was taken back by the Fire Sent down by Allah-azwj (as a sign of acceptance).[1127]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن فضالة وصفوان، عن معاوية بن عمار، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: سميت التروية لان جبرئيل (ع) أتى إبراهيم (ع) يوم التروية، فقال: يا إبراهيم ارتو من الماء لك ولاهلك، ولم يكن بين مكة وعرفات ماء، ثم مضى به إلى الموقف، فقال: ” اعترف واعرف مناسكك “، فذلك سميت عرفة، ثم قال له: ” ازدلف إلى المشعر الحرام ” فسميت المزدلفة.

And from him, from his father, from Fazalat and Safwan, from Muawiya Bin Amaar,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Al-Tarwiyya has been named as such because Jibraeel-as came to Ibrahim-as on the day of Al-Tarwiyya, so he-as said: ‘O Ibrahim-as! Draw water for yourself-as or else you-as will die’. And there did not happen to be any water in between Makkah and Arafaat. Then he-as went by it to the Pausing station, so he-as said: ‘I-as acknowledge and recognise (اعترف واعرف) Your-azwj Rituals. Thus, it is due to that Arafaat was named as such. Then he-as said to him-as: ‘(Azdalaf) to the Signs of the Sanctuary’. So Al-Muzdalifa was named as such’.[1128]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن حماد، عن الحلبي، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) لم سميت التروية؟ – قال: لانه لم يكن بعرفات ماء وكانوا يستقون من مكة الماء لريهم، وكان يقول بعضهم لبعض: ” ترويت من الماء “، فسميت التروية.

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hamaad, from Al Halby who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws was asked, ‘Why was Al-Tarawiyya named as such?’ He-asws said: ‘Because there did not happen to be any water at Arafaat, and they used to draw water from Makkah for their irrigation. And some of them used to say to the others, ‘You are irrigating (Tarwiyyat) from the water’. So it was named at Al-Tarwiyya’.[1129]

وعنه، عن أبيه ومحمد بن على، عن على بن النعمان، عن سعيد الاعرج، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: إنما سميت البيت العتيق لانه أعتق من الغرق وأعتق الحرم معه، كف عنه الماء.

And from him, from his father and Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Al No’man, from Saeed Al A’araj,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘But rather, the Bayt Al-Ateeq has been named as such because it has been redeemed from the drowning, and redeemed from the Sanctuary along with it. The water (from the flood of Noah-as) refrained from it’.[1130]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن حماد، عن الحلبي قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): لم سميت بكة؟ – قال: لان الناس يبك بعضهم بعضا بالايدي

And from him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hamaad, from Al Halby who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Why has Bakka been named as such?’ He-asws said: ‘Because the people cried, some of them to the others with their hands’.[1131]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن أبان بن عثمان، عمن أخبره، عن أبى جعفر (ع) قال: قلت: لم سميت البيت العتيق؟ – قال: هو بيت حر عتيق من الناس، لم يملكه أحد.

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa, from Aban Bin Usman, from the one who informed him,

Abu Ja’far-asws, was asked, ‘Why has Bayt Al-Ateeq been named as such?’ He-asws said: ‘It is a free house, emancipated from the people. No one owns it’.[1132]

وعنه، عن ابن فضال، عن مفضل بن صالح، عن ليث المرادى قال: قلت لابي – عبد الله (ع): مسجد الفضيخ لم سمى؟ – قال: النخل يسمى الفضيخ، فلذلك سمى.

And from him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Lays Al Murady who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Why has Masjid Al-Fazeekh been named as such?’ He-asws said: ‘The palm tree called Al-Fazeekh, so it is due to that it has been named as such’.[1133]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن حماد بن عيسى وفضالة، عن معاوية بن عمار، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): أقوم أصلى والمرأة جالسة بين يدى أو مارة؟ – فقال: لا بأس، إنما سميت بكة لانه يبك فيها الرجال والنساء.

And from him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa and Fazaalat, from Muawiya Bin Amaar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I stand to Pray, and the woman is seated in front, or a person?’ So he-asws said: ‘There is no problem. But rather, Bakka has been named as such because the man and the woman wept in it’.[1134]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير رفعه عن أحدهما (ع) أنه سئل عن تقبيل الحجر؟ – فقال: إن الحجر كان درة بيضاء لى الجنة، وكان آدم يراها، فلما أنزلها الله عزوجل إلى الارض نزل إليها آدم (ع) فبادر فقبلها (ع) فأجرى الله تبارك وتعالى بذلك السنة.

And from him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, raising it,

(It has been narrated) from one of the two-asws (5th or 6th Imam-asws), having been asked about kissing the (Black) Stone?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘The (Black) Stone was a white jewel of the Paradise, and Adam-as had seen it. So, when Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made it to descend to the earth, it descended (near) to Adam-as. So he-as hastened towards it and kissed it. Thus, Allah-azwj Blessed and High Made it a Sunnah due to that’.[1135]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن معاوية بن عمار، قال: سألته عن السعي فقال: إن إبراهم (ع) لما خلف هاجر وإسماعيل بمكة عطش إسماعيل فبكى، فخرجت هاجر حتى علت على الصفا وبالوادى أشجار، فنادت ” هل بالوادي من أنيس؟ ” فلم – يجبها أحد، فانحدرت حتى علت على المروة، فنادت ” هل بالوادي من أنيس؟ ” فلم تزل تفعل ذلك حتى فعلته سبع مرات،

And from him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Amaar who said,

‘I asked him-asws about the ‘Saee’, so he-asws said: ‘When Ibrahim-as left behind Hajar-as and Ismail-as at Makkah, Ismail-as became thirsty and cried. So she-as went out upon Al-Safa, and trees were at the valley, so she-as called out: ‘Is there anyone in the valley with kindness?’ But, no one answered her-as. So she-as came down the slope until she-as climbed upon Al-Marwa, so she-as called out: ‘Is there anyone in the valley with kindness?’ She-as did not cease to do that until she-as had done it seven times.

فلما كانت السابعة هبط عليها جبرئيل (ع) فقال لها: أيتها المرأة من أنت؟ – قالت: أنا هاجر أم ولد إبراهيم، قال لها: وإلى من خلفك؟ – قالت: أما إذا قلت ذلك لقد قلت له: يا إبراهيم إلى من تخلفنى ههنا؟ – فقال: إلى الله عز وجل أخلفك، فقال لها جبرئيل (ع): نعم ما خلفك إليه، ولقد وكلك إلى كاف فارجعي إلى ولدك، فرجعت إلى البيت وقد انبعث زمزم والماء ظاهر يجرى، فجمعت حوله التراب فحبسته،

So when it was the seventh time, Jibraeel-as descended unto her-as and said to her-as: ‘O woman! Who are you-as?’ She-as said: ‘I-as am Hajar-as, mother-as of the boy-as Ismail-as’. He-as said to her-as: ‘And to whom did he-as leave you-as behind?’ She-as said: ‘But, when I-as said to him-as: ‘O Ibrahim-as! To whom are you-as leaving me-as behind over here?’ So he-as said: ‘To Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, that I-as leave you-as behind’. So Jibraeel-as said to her-as: ‘Yes, he-as left you-as behind, to the One-azwj Who is Sufficient. So, return to your-as son-as’. So she-as returned to the House (Kaabah), and Zamzam had spewed and water had appeared flowing. So she-as gathered the sand around it, to contain it.

قال أبو عبد الله (ع): ولو تركته لكان سيحا، ثم مر ركب من اليمن ولم يكونوا يدخلون مكة، فنظروا إلى الطير مقبلة على مكة من كل فج، فقالوا: ما أقبلت الطير على مكة إلا وقد رأت الماء، فمالوا إلى مكة حتى أتوا موضع البيت، فنزلوا واستقوا من الماء وتزودوا منه ما يكفيهم وخلفوا عندهما من الزاد ما يكفيهما، فأجرى الله لهم بذلك رزقا.

Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘And had she-as left it, it would have evaporated. Then riders from Al-Yemen passed by, and they had yet to enter Makkah. So they looked at the birds around Makkah from every ravine, so they said, ‘The birds would not have gathered upon Makkah except that they had seen the water. So they came to Makkah until they came to the place of the House (Kaabah). So they encamped and drew from the water, and took provision from it what sufficed them, and left with the two of them-as, such provisions that would suffice for them-as. Thus, Allah-azwj Made the sustenance to flow for them-as, by way of that’.

وروى محمد بن خلف، عن بعض أصحابه، قال: فكان الناس يمرون بمكة فيطعمونهم من الطعام ويسقونهم من الماء.

And Muhammad Bin Khalaf reported, from one of his companions who said,

‘The people used to pass by Makkah, and they would feed them-as from the food, and they-as (in turn) would quench them from the water’.[1136]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن بعض أصحابه، قال: سألته عن السعي بين الصفا والمروة؟ – فقال: إن هاجر لما ولدت إسماعيل (ع) دخل سارة غيرة شديدة فأمر الله إبراهيم (ع) أن يطيعها، فقال: يا إبراهيم احمل هاجر حتى تضعها ببلاد ليس فيها زرع ولا ضرع، فأتى بها البيت وليس بمكة إذ ذاك زرع ولا ضرع ولا ماء ولا أحد، فخلفها عند البيت وانصرف عنها إبراهيم (ع) فبكى.

And from him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from one of his companions who said,

‘I asked him-asws about the ‘Sa’ee’ between Al-Safa and Al-Marwa?’ So he-asws said: ‘When Hajar-as was blessed with Ismail-as, intense jealousy entered into Sarah-as. So, Allah-azwj Commanded Ibrahim-as that he-as should listen to her-as, so He-azwj Said: “O Ibrahim-as! Carry Hajar-as until you-as place her-as in a town in which there is neither a plantation nor an animal udder”. So he-asws came with her-as at the House, and there was not at Makkah any plantation or an animal udder, nor water, nor anyone. So he-as left her-as in the presence of the House (Kaabah), and Ibrahim-as left from her-as. So he-as cried’.[1137]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، قال: قلت لابي – عبد الله (ع): وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله إذا أتاه الوحى من الله وبينهما جبرئيل يقول: هو ذا جبرئيل، وقال لى جبرئيل، وإذا أتاه الوحى وليس بينهما جبرئيل يصيبه تلك السبتة ويغشاه منه ما يغشاه لثقل الوحى عليه من الله عزوجل.

And from him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Saalim who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘And when Revelation from Allah-azwj used to come unto Rasool-Allah-saww, Jibraeel-as used to be in between?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘He-saww was with Jibraeel-as, and said ‘Jibraeel-as said to me-saww’. And when the Revelation came unto him-saww, and Jibraeel-as was not in between, that would hit him-saww and he-saww would be overwhelmed from it, due to the overwhelming heaviness of the Revelation from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.[1138]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن أبان، عن مسمع بن عبد الملك قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: لا يختضب الجنب ولا يجامع المختضب ولا يصلى، قلت: جعلت فداك لم لا يجامع المختضب ولا يصلى؟ – لانه مختضب

From him, from his father, from Abaan, from Masma’a Bin Abdul Malik who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Do not dye your sides, and the one who dyes should neither copulate nor Pray’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, why should the dyed one neither copulate nor Pray?’ He-asws said: ‘Because of the dye (uncleanness)’.[1139]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن فضالة، عن سيف، عن أبى بكر الحضرمي قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): رجل حلف للسلطان بالطلاق والعتاق، فقال: إذا خشى سيفه وسوطه فليس عليه شئ، يا أبا بكر أن الله عزوجل يعفو، والناس لا يعفون.

From him, from his father, from Fazalat, from Sayf, from Abu Bakr Al Hazramy who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘A man oathed for the authority (Sultan) with the divorce and the emancipation’. So he-asws said: ‘If he feared his sword, or his whip, so there is nothing upon him. Abu Bakr! Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Pardons, but the people do not pardon’.[1140]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن أبى الحسن وأحمد بن محمد بن أبى نصر جميعا، عن أبى الحسن (ع) قال: سألته عن الرجل يستكره على اليمين فيحلف بالطلاق والعتاق وصدقة ما يملك، أيلزمه ذلك؟ – فقال: لا، قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ” وضع عن أمتى ما أكرهوا عليه، وما لم يطيقوا، وما أخطأوا “.

From him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abu Al Hassan and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr together,

(The narrator says) ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan-asws about the man who was unwillingly made to swear an oath for the divorce, and the emancipation, and charity of what he owned, is that binding upon him?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘No. Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘It has been Placed away from my-saww community, that which they were coerced into, and what they could not tolerate, and what they were mistaken of’.[1141]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن أبى أيوب، عن معاذ بياع الاكسية قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): أنا أستخلف بالطلاق والعتاق فما ترى؟ – أحلف لهم؟ – قال: احلف لهم بما أرادوا إذا خفت.

And from him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abu Ayoub, from Ma’az Baya’a Al Aksiya who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘I swore an oath for the divorce and the emancipation, so what do you-asws see? Shall I oath for them?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Oath for them with what is intended when you fear’.[1142]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سليمان، عن داود بن النعمان، عن عبد الرحيم القصير قال: قال أبو جعفر (ع): أما لو قد قام قائمنا لقد ردت عليه الحميراء حتى يجلدها الحد، وهو ينتقم لامه فاطمة (ع) منها، قلت: جعلت فداك ولم تجلد الحد؟ – قال: لفريتها على أم إبراهيم، قلت: فكيف أخره الله عزوجل للقائم؟ – قال: إن الله بعث محمدا صلى الله عليه وآله رحمة ويبعت القائم (ع) نقمة.

And from him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Dawood Al No’man, from Abdul Raheem Al Qaseyr who said,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘If our-asws Qaim-asws rises, ‘Al-Humeyra’ would be returned until she is flogged with the Limit, and it is the revenge for his-asws mother-asws Fatima-asws from it’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! And why would she be flogged with the Limit?’ He-asws said: ‘For her slandering the Umm Ibrahim (Lady Mariah Qibtiyya)’. I asked, ‘So how comes Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Delay it for Al-Qaim-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Sent Muhammad-saww as a Mercy, and He-azwj would be Sending Al-Qaim-asws as vengeance’.[1143]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن يحيى، عن حماد بن عثمان، قال: قلت لابي – عبد الله (ع): أدنى ما يجزى في الهدى من أسنان الغنم؟ – فقال: الجذع من الضأن، فقلت: هل يجزى الجذع من المعز؟ – فقال: لا، فقلت له: كيف يجزى الجذع من الضأن ولا يجزى الجذع من المعز؟ – فقال: إن الجذع من الضأن يلقح، والجذع من المعز لا يلقح.

From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hamaad Bin Usmaan who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The smallest of what is recompensed with regards to teeth of the sheep for the sacrifice?’ So he-asws said: ‘The torso of the lamb’. So I said, ‘Is there recompense for the torso of the goats?’ So he-asws said: ‘No’. So I said, ‘How is it allowed for the torso of the lamb and it is not allowed for the torso of the goats?’ So he-asws said: ‘The torso of the lamb gets impregnated, and the torso of the goat does not get impregnated’.[1144]

وعنه، عن أبيه، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن معاوية بن عمار، عن أبى – عبد الله (ع) قال: إنما سمى الخيف لانه مرتفع عن الوادي، وكل ما ارتفع عن الوادي سمى خيفا.

And from him, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Muawiya Bin Amaar,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘But rather, Al-Khief has been named as such because it is higher than the valley, and everything which is higher than the valley is named a Khief’.[1145]

عنه، عن أبيه. عن حماد بن عيسى وفضالة وابن أبى عمير، عن معاوية بن عمار، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى لما أخذ مواثيق العباد أمر الحجر فالتقمها، فلذلك يقال: ” أمانتى أديتها، وميثاقي تعاهدته، لتشهد لى بالموافاة”

From him, from his father, from Hamaad Bin Isa and Fazaalat, and Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Amaar,

عنه، عن أحمد بن محمد أبى نصر قال: قال ابو الحسن (ع): أتدرى لم سميت طائف؟ – قلت: لا، قال: إن إبراهيم (ع) لما دعا ربه عزوجل أن يرزق أهله من كل الثمرات قطع لهم قطعة من الاردن، فأقبلت حتى طافت بالبيت سبعا، ثم أقرها الله في موضعها، فانما سميت الطائف للطواف بالبيت.

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Abu Nasr who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘ Do you know why ‘Ta’if’ has been named as such?’ I said, ‘No’. The Imam-asws said: ‘When Ibrahim-as supplicated to his-as Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic that He-azwj should Sustain his-as family with every kind of fruit, a piece of land from Jordan was cut out for them. So it came until it circled the House (Kaaba) seven times, then Allah-azwj Settled it in its place. So Al-Ta’aif was names as such for the ‘Tawaaf’ of the House’.[1147]

So, the one who feels anything from these within himself, so he should say, ‘O Lord-azwj!

And when Allah-azwj Kept him-asws Safe and left, he-asws would Praise Allah-azwj and Thank Him-azwj as well with what He-azwj has Facilitated for him-asws’.

ورواه محمد بن على بن حسان، عن عبد الرحمان بن كثير، قال: كنت عند أبى جعفر (ع) إذ أتاه رجل من الشيعة ليودعه بالخروج إلى العراق، فأخذ أبو جعفر (ع) بيده، ثم حدثه عن أبيه بما كان يصنع، قال: فودعه الرجل ومضى، فأتاه الخبر بأنه قطع عليه، فأخبرت بذلك أبا جعفر (ع) فقال: سبحان الله! أو لم أعظه؟ – فقلت: بلى، ثم قلت: جعلت فداك، فإذا أنا فعلت ذلك أعتد به من الزكوة؟ – فقال: لا، ولكن إن شئت أن يكون ذلك من الحق المعلوم.

And it has been reported by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Hasaan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer who said,

So Abu Ja’far-asws grabbed his hand, then narrated a Hadeeth from his-asws father-asws with what he should do. So the man bid farewell and went. There came the news that he was cut off (robbed by bandits). So I informed Abu Ja’far-asws about that, so he-asws said: ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! Or did I-asws not advise him?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. Then I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! So if I were to do that, I should prepare by it from the Zakat?’ So the Imam-asws said: ‘No, but if you like, that can be from the known right (charity)’.[1172]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن ابن أذينة، عن سفيان بن عمر، قال: كنت أنظر في النجوم فأعرفها، وأعرف الطالع فيدخلني من ذلك، فشكوت ذلك إلى أبى عبد الله (ع) فقال: إذا وقع في نفسك شئ فتصدق على أول مسكين ثم امض، فان الله عزوجل يدفع عنك.

From him, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibn Azina, from Sufyan Bin Umar who said,

‘I was looking at the stars, so I understood it (omen), and I recognised the horoscope (bad omen), so it (fear) entered me from that, so I complained about that to Abu Abdullah-asws, so he-asws said: ‘There has occurred within yourself something, so give charity to the first needy one, then go, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Repulse it from you’.[1173]

9 – باب القول عند الخروج في السفر، وما تقول إذا خرجت من منزلك

Chapter 9 – The words during the going out regarding the travel, and what you should be saying when going out from your house

عنه، عن النوفلي، باسناده، قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ما استخلف رجل على أهله بخلافة أفضل من ركعتين يركعهما إذا أراد الخروج إلى سفر، يقول: ” اللهم إنى أستودعك نفسي وأهلي ومالى وذريتي ودنياى وآخرتي وأمانتي وخاتمة عملي ” إلا أعطاه الله ما سأل “.

From him, from Al Nowfaly, by his chain, said,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘A man cannot leave behind a Caliph (caretaker) over his family better than two Bowings (of Prayer), kneeling in both of these whenever intending for the going out on a journey, saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I entrust to You-azwj myself, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and my world, and my Hereafter, and my entrustments, and the completion of my work’, except that Allah-azwj would Give him whatever he asks for’.[1176]

عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن الحارث بن محمد أبى جعفر الاحوال، عن بريد بن معاوية العجلى، قال: كان أبو جعفر (ع) إذا أراد سفرا جمع عياله في بيت ثم قال ” اللهم إنى أستودعك الغداة نفسي ومالى وأهلي وولدى والشاهد منا والغائب، اللهم اجعلنا في جوارك، اللهم لا تسلبنا نعمتك، ولا تغير ما بنا من عافيتك وفضلك “.

From him, from Ibn Mahboun, from Al Haris Bin Muhammad Abu Ja’far Al Ahowl, from Bureyd Bin uawiya Al Ajaly who said,

‘Whenever Abu Ja’far-asws intended to travel, he-asws would gather his-asws family in the house, then say: ‘O Allah-azwj! I-asws entrust to You-asws from tomorrow, myself-asws, and my-asws wealth, and my-asws family, and my-asws children, and the ones present from us and absent. O Allah-azwj! Make us to be in Your-azwj Vicinity. O Allah-azwj! Do not Confiscate Your-azwj Bounties, and do not Change what is with us of good health from You-azwj and Your-azwj Grace’.[1177]

عنه، عن موسى بن القاسم، قال: حدثنا الصباح، قال: سمعت أبا الحسن موسى بن جعفر (ع) يقول: لو كان الرجل منكم إذا أراد سفرا قام على باب داره من تلقاء وجهه الذى يتوجه له فقرأ فاتحة الكتاب أمامه، وعن يمينه، وعن شماله، وآية الكرسي أمامه، وعن يمينه، وعن شماله، ثم قال: ” اللهم احفظني واحفظ ما معى، وسلمنى وسلم ما معى، وبلغني وبلغ ما معى، ببلاغك الحسن الجميل ” لحفظه الله وحفظ ما عليه، وحفظ ما معه، وسلمه الله وسلم ما معه، وبلغ الله وبلغ ما معه،

From him, from Musa Bin Al Qasim, from Al Sabah who said,

‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘If only the man from among you, when he intends to travel, would stand by the door of his house face the direction that he intends for and recite the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1 – Surah Al Fatiha) in front of him, and on his right, and on his left, and the Verse of the Chair (Chapter 2: 255 – Ayat Al-Kursy) in front of him, and on his right, and on his left, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Protect me and Protect what is with me, and Safeguard me and Safeguard what is with me, and Deliver me (to the destination) and Deliver what is with me, with Your-azwj good and beautiful Deliverance’. Allah-azwj would Protect him and Protect what he is upon, and Protect what is with him, and Allah-azwj would Safeguard him and Safeguard what is with him, and Allah-azwj would Deliver him and Deliver what is with him’.

ثم قال لى: يا صباح أما رأيت الرجل يحفظ ولا يحفظ ما معه، ويسلم ولا يسلم ما معه، ويبلغ ولا يبلغ ما معه؟ – قلت: بلى جعلت فداك

Then he-asws said to me: ‘O Sabah! But, have you seen the man who has been Protected whilst what is with him has not been Protected, and he is safe but what is with him is not safe, and he reaches (his destination) and what is with him does not reach?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you-asws’.[1178]

عنه، عن الحسن بن الحسين أو غيره، عن محمد بن سنان، رفعه قال: كان أبو عبد الله (ع) إذا أراد سفرا قال: ” اللهم خل سبيلنا، وأحسن سيرنا، (أو قال: ” مسيرنا “) وأعظم عافيتنا ”

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Al Husayn or someone else, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, raising it, said:

‘Whenever Abu Abdullah-asws intended to travel, would said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Open our way for us-asws, and Make good our-asws journey, (or said: ‘our-asws marching), and Magnify our-asws good health’.[1179]

عنه، عن عدة من أصحابنا، عن على بن أسباط، عن أبى الحسن الرضا (ع) قال: قال لى: إذا خرجت من منزلك في سفر أو حضر، فقل: ” بسم الله، آمنت بالله، توكلت على الله، ما شاء الله، لا حول ولا قوة ألا بالله “. فتلقاه الشيطان فتضرب الملائكة وجوهها وتقول: ما سبيلكم عليه وقد سمى الله وآمن به، وتوكل على الله، وقال: ” ما شآء الله، لا قوة إلا بالله ”

From him, from a number of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, who said to me: ‘If you go out from your house regarding a journey or (face) a hazard, so say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, I believe in Allah-azwj, rely upon Allah-azwj, whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, there is no Might nor Strength except by Allah-azwj’. So if the Satans-la were to come across you, the Angels would strike his-la face and would be saying, ‘There is no way for you-la against him, and he has taken the Name of Allah-azwj and believed in Him-azwj’. And say, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, there is no Might or Strength except by Allah-azwj’.

ورواه ابن فضال، عن الحسن بن الجهم، عن الرضا (ع) إلا أنه قال: ” لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله “.

And Ibn Fazal reported from Al Hassan Bin Al Jaham,

(Also the same has been narrated) from Al-Reza-asws except that he-asws said: ‘There is no Might or Strength except by Allah-azwj’.[1180]

عنه، عن على بن الحكم، عن عاصم بن حميد، عن أبى بصير، عن أبى جعفر (ع) قال: من قال حين يخرج من باب داره: ” أعوذ بما عاذت به ملائكة الله ورسله من شر هذا اليوم الجديد الذى إذا غابت شمسه لم تعد من شر نفسي ومن شر الشياطين، ومن شر من نصب لاولياء الله، ومن شر الجن والانس، ومن شر السباع والهوام، ومن شر ركوب المحارم كلها، أجير نفسي بالله من كل سوء ” غفر الله له وتاب عليه، وكفاه المهم، وحجزه عن السوء، وعصمه من الشر.

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aasim Bin Hameed, from Abu Baseer,

Abu Ja’far-asws has said: ‘The one who says when going out of the door of his house, ‘I seek Refuge with the Angels of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww, from whatever would harm me, and from the evil of this new day whose sun when it sets, from the evil of myself and from the evil of the Satan-la, and from the evil of the one who establishes hostility (Nasibi) against the Guardians-asws of Allah-azwj, and from the evil of the Jinn and the human beings, and from the evil of the predatory animals and the vermin (bugs), and from the evil of indulging in Forbidden (matters), all of them, earning for myself by Allah-azwj, from every evil’ – Allah-azwj would Forgive him and Turn towards him (with Mercy), and Suffice for him for his important (matters), and Keep away the evil from him, and Protect him from the wickedness’.[1181]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن عبد الرحمن بن أبى هاشم، عن أبى خديجة قال: كان أبو عبد الله (ع) إذا خرج يقول: ” اللهم لك خرجت، ولك أسلمت، وبك آمنت، وعليك توكلت، اللهم بارك لى في يومى هذا، وارزقني قوته ونصره وفتحه وظهوره وهداه وبركته، واصرف عنى شره وشر ما فيه، بسم الله والله أكبر والحمد لله رب العالمين، اللهم إنى خرجت، فبارك لى في خروجي وانفعني به ” وإذا دخل منزله يقول مثل ذلك.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja who said,

‘Whenever Abu Abdullah-asws went out, he-asws was saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! It is for You-azwj that I-asws go out, and to You-azwj that I-asws submit, and in You-azwj that I-asws believe, and upon You-azwj that I-asws rely. O Allah-azwj Bless me-asws in this day of mine, and Sustain me-asws with its livelihood, and its help, and its victory, and its success, and its Guidance, and its Blessing, and Change from me-asws its evil and the evil of whatever is in it. In the Name of Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is the Greatest, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj the Lord-azwj of the Worlds. O Allah-azwj! I-asws am going out, so Bless me-asws in my-asws going out, and Make me-asws to benefit by it’. And when he-asws entered his-asws house, he-asws would say similar to that’.[1182]

عنه، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن أبان الاحمر، عن الحلبي، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: كان أبو جعفر (ع) إذا خرج من بيته يقول: ” بسم الله خرجت، وبسم الله ولجت، و على الله توكلت، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله العلى العظيم “.

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Aban Al Ahmar, from Al Halby,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Whenever Abu Ja’far-asws went out from his-asws house, he-asws was saying: ‘It is by the Name of Allah-azwj that I-asws go out, and by the Name of Allah-azwj that I-asws enter, and upon Allah-azwj do I-asws rely, and there is no Might or Strength except by Allah-azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent’.

قال محمد بن سنان: فكان أبو – الحسن الرضا (ع) يقول ذلك إذا خرج من منزله.

Muhammad Bin Sinan said,

‘And Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws used to say that when he-asws went out from his-asws house’.[1183]

عنه، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن أبى حمزة الثمالى، قال: استاذنت على أبى جعفر (ع) فخرج على وشفتاه تتحركان، فقلت: جعلت فداك، خرجت وشفتاك تحركان؟ – فقال وألهمنا ذلك يا ثمالى، فقلت: نعم فأخبرني به، فقال: نعم يا ثمالى، من قال حين يخرج من منزله: ” بسم الله، حسبى الله، توكلت على الله، اللهم إنى أسألك خير أمورى كلها، وأعوذ بك من خزى الدنيا وعذاب الآخرة “، كفاه الله ما أهمه من أمر دنياه وآخرته.

From him, from usman Bin Isa, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said,

‘I sought permission to (see) Abu Ja’far-asws, so the Imam-asws came out to me and his-asws lips were moving. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You-asws came out, and your lips were moving?’ So he-asws said: ‘And it is our-asws inspiration, O Sumaly!’ So I said, ‘Yes, so inform me of it’. So he-asws said: ‘Yes, O Sumaly! The one who says when he goes out from his house, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj is Sufficient for me, I rely upon Allah-azwj. O Allah-azwj, I ask You-asws of the goodness in all of my affairs, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from disgrace of the world and the Punishment of the Hereafter’ – Allah-azwj would Suffice him what worries from the matters of his world and his Hereafter’.[1184]

عنه، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن معاوية بن عمار، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): إذا خرجت من منزلك، فقل: ” بسم الله، توكلت على الله، ولا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، اللهم إنى أسألك خير ما خرجت له، وأعوذ بك من شر ما خرجت له، اللهم أوسع على من فضلك، وأتمم على نعمتك، واستعملني في طاعتك، واجعل رغبتي فيما عندك، وتوفنى على ملتك وملة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله “.

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muawiya Bin Amaar who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When you go out from your house, so say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj. I rely upon Allah-azwj, and there is no Might or Strength except by Allah-azwj. I ask You-azwj for goodness of what I go out for, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the evil of what I go out for. O Allah-azwj! Expand Your-azwj Grace upon me, and complete Your-azwj Favours upon me, and Utilise me in Your-azwj obedience, and Make me with for what is in Your-azwj Presence, and Incline me towards Your-azwj Religion and the Religion of Rasool-Allah-saww’.[1185]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن محمد بن سنان، عن أبى الحسن الرضا (ع) قال: كان أبى يقول إذا خرج من منزلة: ” بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، خرجت بحول الله وقوته، لا بحول منى ولا قوة، بل بحولك وقوتك يا رب متعرضا لرزقي فأتني به في عافية. ”

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Muhammad Bin Sinan,

Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws has said: ‘My-asws father-asws used to say when going out from the house: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. I-asws go out by the Might of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Strength, not by my-asws might nor by my-asws strength, but by Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Strength, O Lord-azwj. Bring to me my-asws sustenance, and Give me-asws by it good health’.[1186]

10 – باب القول عند الركوب

Chapter 10 – The words during the embarking

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن أبى جميلة المفضل بن صالح، عن سعد بن طريف، عن الاصبغ بن نباتة، قال: أمسكت لامير المؤمنين (ع) بالركاب وهو يريد أن يركب، فرفع رأسه ثم تبسم، فقلت له: يا أمير المؤمنين رأيتك رفعت رأسك فتبسمت قال: نعم يا أصبغ، أمسكت لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله الشهباء، فرفع رأسه إلى السماء وتبسم، فقلت: يا رسول الله رفعت رأسك إلى السماء فتبسمت، فقال: يا على إنه ليس من أحد يركب ما أنعم الله عليه، ثم يقرأ آية السخرة ثم يقول: ” أستغفر الله الذى لا إله إلا هو الحى القيوم وأتوب إليه، اللهم اغفر لى ذنوبي، إنه لا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت ” إلا قال السيد – الكريم: يا ملائكتي عبدى يعلم أنه لا يغفر الذنوب غيرى، اشهدوا أنى قد غفرت له ذنوبه.

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Abu Jameela Al Mufazzal Bin Salih, from Sa’ad Bin Tareyf, from Al Asbag Bin Nabata who said,

‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws withheld from the reins and he-asws had intended to ride, so he-asws raised his-asws head towards the sky, then smiled. So I said to him-asws, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! I saw you-asws raise your-asws head, so you-asws smiled’. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Yes, O Asbagh! (Once) I-asws held the coat of Rasool-Allah-azwj, so he raised his-saww head towards the sky and smiled.

So I-asws said: ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! You-saww raised your-saww head towards the sky and you-asws smiled’. So he-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! There is no one who embarks, but Allah-azwj Favours upon him’. Then he-saww recited that Verse of Al-Sakhrat, then he-saww said: ‘I-saww seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, Who, there is no god except for Him-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, and I-saww repent to Him-saww. O Allah-azwj! Forgive my-saww (nation’s) sins for me-saww, for no one Forgives the sins except for You-azwj’ – except that the Master, the Benevolent, Says: “O My-azwj Angels! My-azwj servant knows that no one Forgives the sins apart from Me-azwj. Be witnesses that I-azwj have Forgiven for him, his sins’.[1187]

عنه، عن ابن فضال، عن عنبسة بن هشام، عن عبد الكريم بن عمرو الجعفي، عن الحكم بن محمد بن القاسم، أنه سمع عبد الله بن عطاء يقول: قال لى أبو جعفر (ع): قم فأسرج لى دابتين، حمارا وبغلا، فأسرجت حمارا وبغلا، فقدمت إليه البغل فرأيت أنه أحبهما إليه، فقال: من أمرك أن تقدم إلى هذا البغل؟ – قلت: اخترته لك، قال: وأمرتك أن تختار لى؟

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Anbasat Bin Hisham, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro Al Ju’fy, from Al Hakam Bin Muhammad Bin Al Qasim who heard Abu Abdullah Bin Ata’a saying,

‘Abu Ja’far-asws said to me: ‘Saddle two animals for me, a donkey and a mule. So I saddled a donkey and a mule. So I forward the mule towards him-asws for I viewed it as being more beloved to him-asws. So he-asws said: ‘Who asked you to forward this mule towards me?’ I said, ‘I chose it for you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘And did I-asws tell you to choose for me-asws?’

ثم قال: إن أحب المطايا إلى الحمر، فقال: قدمت إليه الحمار، وأمسكت له بالركاب وركب، فقال: ” الحمد لله الذى هدانا للاسلام، وعلمنا القرآن، ومن علينا بمحمد صلى الله عليه وآله، والحمد لله الذى سخر لنا هذا، وما كنا له مقرنين، وإنا إلى ربنا لمنقلبون، والحمد لله رب العالمين ”

Then he-asws said: ‘I-asws love the pack (animal) to the donkey’. So I forwarded the donkey to him-asws, and held the reins for him-asws and he-asws mounted. So he-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj who Guided us-asws to Al-Islam, and Taught us-asws the Quran, and Favoured upon us-asws with Muhammad-saww. And the Praise is for Allah-azwj who Made this (animal) subservient to us, although there are not two horns for it. And we-asws are turning towards our-asws Lord-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, the Lord-azwj of the worlds’.

وسار وسرت، حتى إذا بلغنا موضعا، قلت: الصلوة جعلني الله فداك، قال: هذا أرض وادى النمل، لا نصلى فيه، حتى إذا بلغنا موضعا آخر قلت له مثل ذلك فقال: هذه الارض مالحة، لا نصلى فيها، حتى نزل هو من قبل نفسه،

And he-asws travelled, and I travelled (on the mule), until we reached a place. I said, ‘The Salaat, may Allah-azwj Make me to be sacrificed for you-asws’. He-asws said: ‘This is a land, valley of the ants. We shall not offer Salaat within it. Until we reached another place, I said to him-asws similar to that. So he-asws said: ‘This is a salty land, we shall not offer Salaat in it’ – until (later on after further away) he-asws descended by himself-asws.

فقال لى: صليت أم تصلى سبحتك؟ – قلت: هذه صلوة تسميها أهل العراق الزوال، فقال: أما إن هؤلاء الذين يصلون هم شيعة على بن أبى طالب (ع) وهى صلوة لاوابين، فصلى وصليت، ثم أمسكت له بالركاب ثم قال مثل ما قال في بدأته، ثم قال: ” اللهم العن المرجئة فانهم عدونا في الدنيا والآخرة ” قلت له: ما ذكرك جعلت فداك المرجئة؟ – قال: خطروا على بالى.

So he-asws said to me: ‘Will you Pray or will you Pray with your Glorification? – I said, ‘This is a Salaat the people of Iraq have named it as ‘Al-Zawaal’. So the Imam-asws said: ‘But rather, the ones who are Praying are the Shias of Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and it is the Salaat of the Penitents’.

But rather, the people tested you-as with affliction, because you-as prevented them from (invading) your-as Religion, and they prevented you-as from (invading) their world. So what is more needful tomorrow than what you-as prevented them from, and more needless from what you-as were prevent from?’ So Abu Dharr-as said, ‘May Allah-azwj have Mercy upon the People-asws of the Household.

I seek Refuge from evil of every predatory animal’ – except that Allah-azwj would Secure him from every evil of that predatory animal until he moves on from that place, by the Permission of Allah-azwj, if Allah-azwj so Desires it’.[1264]

عنه، عن أبى عبد الله، عن حماد، عن حريز، عن إبراهيم بن نعيم، عن أبى – عبد الله (ع) قال: إذا دخلت مدخلا تخافه فاقرأ هذه الاية ” رب أدخلني مدخل صدق وأخرجنى مخرج صدق، واجعل لى من لدنك سلطانا نصيرا ” وإذا عاينت الذى تخافه فاقرء آية الكرسي.

From him, from Abu Abdullah, from Hamaad, from Hareyz, from Ibrahim Bin Naeem,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘If enter an entrance which you fear, so recite this Verse [17:80] And say: Lord! Make me to enter a goodly entering, and Cause me to go exit a goodly exit, and Grant me from Yourself an Authority, a persistent helper. And when you see that which you fear, so recite the Verse of the Chair (Ayat Al-Kursy – 2:255)’.[1265]

عنه، عن ابن فضال: عن أبى جميلة، عن ثوير بن أبى فاخته، عن أبيه، قال: كان جعدة بن هبيرة يبعثنى إلى سورآء، فذكرت ذلك لابي الحسن على (ع) فقال: سأعلمك ما إذا قلته لم يضرك الاسد ” أعوذ برب دانيال والجب من شر هذا الاسد ” ثلات مرات، قال فخرجت، فإذا هو باسط ذراعيه عند للجسر، فقلتها، فلم يعرض لى، ومرت بقرات فعرض لهن، وضرب بقرة، وقد سمعت أنا من يقول: ” اللهم رب دانيال والجب اصرفه عنى “.

From him, from Ibn Fazaal, from Abu Jameela, from Suweyr Bin Abu Fakhta, from his father who said,

‘Jo’da Bin Hubeyra sent me to Sowra’a, and I mentioned it to Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws, so he-asws said: ‘I-asws shall teach you what, if you were to say it, the lion would not harm you – ‘I seek Refuge with the Lord-azwj of Dainel-as and the pit from this lion’ – three times’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I went out, and there it was (a lion) with extended paws by the bridge. So I said it. It did not turn towards me, and a cow passed and it turned towards it, and attacked it. And it had heard that I was one who was saying, ‘O Lord-azwj of Daniel-as and the pit, turn it away from me’.[1266]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن عبد الرحمان بن أبى هاشم، عن أبى خديجة، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: أتى أخوان رسول الله فقالا: إنا نريد الشام في تجارة فعلمنا ما نقول؟ فقال: نعم إذا أويتما إلى المنزل فصليا العشاء الاخرة، فإذا وضع أحدكما جنبه على فراشه بعد الصلوة فليسبح تسبيح فاطمة الزهراء (ع) ثم ليقرأ آية الكرسي فانه محفوظ من كل شئ حتى يصبح،

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Two brothers (in Islam) came to Rasool-Allah-saww and said, ‘We want to (go to) Syria regarding the business, so teach us what we should be saying?’ So Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Yes. When the two of you come to the encampment, so Pray the last Isha (Prayer), so when one of you lie down by your side upon his bed after the Prayer, so he should glorify with ‘تسبيح فاطمة الزهراء (ع)’ the Glorification of Fatima Al-Zahra-asws. Then he should recite the Verse of the Chair (Ayat Al-Kursy – 2:255), for it would be a protection from everything until the morning’.

وإن لصوصا تبعوهما حتى إذا نزلا بعثوا غلاما لهم ينظر كيف حالهما، ناما؟ – أم مستيقظين؟ فانتهى الغلام إليهما وقد وضع أحدهما جنبه على فراشه وقرأ آية الكرسي وسبح تسبيح فاطمة الزهراء (ع)

And thieves followed the two of them until they encamped. So they sent a young boy to see what their state was, asleep? – or awake? So the young boy ended up to them, and one of them was lying by his side upon his bed, and reciting the Verse of the Chair (Ayat Al-Kursy – 2:255) and Glorifying with ‘تسبيح فاطمة الزهراء (ع)’ the Glorification of Fatima Al Zahra-asws.

قال: فإذا عليهما حائطان مبنيان، فجاء الغلام فطاف بهما، فما دار لم ير إلا الحائطين مبنيين، فقالوا له: أخزاك الله لقد كذبت، بل ضعفت وجبنت، فقاموا فنظروا، فلم يجدوا إلا حائطين، فداروا بالحائطين فلم يسمعوا ولم يروا إنسانا فانصرفوا إلى منازلهم،

He-asws said, ‘So there were two snakes upon them, So the young boy went and said, ‘I circled the two of them but I did not see except for two snakes’. They said, ‘May Allah-azwj Pierce you. You are lying. But, you are a weak and a coward’. So they arose and looked, but they did not find except for two snakes. They circled around the two snakes, but neither hear nor see a human being. So they left to go to their houses.

فما كان من الغد جاؤوا إليهما فقالوا: أين كنتم؟ – فقالا: ما كنا إلا ههنا وما برحنا، فقالوا: والله لقد جئنا وما رأينا إلا حائطين مبنيين، فحدثونا ما قصتكم؟ – قالا: أتينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله فسألناه أن يعلمنا، فعلمنا آية الكرسي وتسبيح فاطمة الزهراء (ع) فقلنا، فقالوا، انطلقوا، لا والله ما نتبعكم أبدا، ولا يقدر عليكم لص أبدا بعد هذا الكلام.

So when it was the morning, they came to the two of them. So they said, ‘Where were you two?’ So they said, ‘We were (nowhere) except for here, and did not go anywhere’. So they said, ‘By Allah-azwj! We came over, but did not see except for two snakes. Can you narrate to us what your story is?’ The two of them said, ‘We came up to Rasool-Allah-saww, so we asked him-saww to teach us. So he-saww taught us the Verse of the Chair (Ayat Al-Kursy – 2: 255), and the Glorification of ‘تسبيح فاطمة الزهراء (ع)’ (Lady) Fatima Al Zahra-asws. So we recited it’. So they said, ‘We are leaving, and by Allah-azwj, we will not follow you, ever, and a thief will never have power over you, ever, after these words’.[1267]

عنه، عن أبيه، عن أبى الجهم هارون بن الجهم، عن ثوير بن أبى فاختة، عن أبى خديجة صاحب الغنم، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: قال: وحدثنا بكر بن صالح الضبى، عن الجعفري، عن أبى الحسن (ع) قال: إذا أمسيت فنظرت إلى الشمس في غروب وادبار فقل: ” بسم الرحمن الرحيم، الحمد لله الذى لم يتخذ ولدا ولم يكن له شريك في الملك، والحمد لله الذى يصف ولا يوصف، ويعلم ولا يعلم،

From him, from his father, from Abu Al Jaham Haround Bin Al Jaham, from Suweyr Bin Abu Fakhta, from Abu Khadeeka, owner of the sheep, said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying’, and it was narrated to us by Bakr Bin Salih Al Zaby, from Al Ja’fary,

Abu Al-Hassan-asws has said: ‘When it is the evening, so look towards the sun during its setting and retreat, so say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Praise is for Allah-azwj who did not Take a son, and there is no associate for Him-azwj in the Kingdom. And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Describes but cannot be described, and Teaches but cannot be taught.

يعلم خائنة الاعين وما تخفى الصدور، أعوذ بوجه الله الكريم وباسم الله العظيم من شر ما ذرأ وبرأ، ومن شر ما تحت الثرى، ومن شر ما ظهر وما بطن، وشر ما في الليل والنهار، وشر أبى قترة وما ولد، ومن شر الرسيس، ومن شر ما وصفت وما لم أصف، والحمد لله رب العالمين ”

Allah-azwj Knows the treacherous eyes and what is hidden in the chests. I seek Refuge with the Benevolent Face of Allah-azwj, and by the Name of Allah-azwj the Magnificent, from the evil of what has been Produced and Created, and from the evil of what is buried underneath, and from the evil of what is apparent and hidden, and the evil of what is in the night and the day, and the evil of Abu Qatra and what he begot, and the evil of ‘Al-Rasays’, and the evil of what I can describe and what I cannot describe. And the Praise is for Allah-azwj, the Lord-azwj of the Worlds’.

قال: وذكر أنها أمان من كل سبع ومن الشيطان الرجيم، وذريته، ومن كل ما عض ولسع، ولا يخاف صاحبها إذا تكلم بها لصا ولا غولا.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And he-asws mentioned that it is a security from every predatory animal, and the from the outcast Satan-la, and his-la offspring, and from all bites and stings. And the reciter of it, when he speaks it, should neither fear a thief, nor a devil’.[1268]

عنه، عن بكر بن صالح الرازي، عن الجعفري، عن أبى الحسن (ع) قال: من خرج وحده في سفر فليقل: ” ما شاء الله، لا حول ولا قوة إلا بالله، اللهم آنس وحشتي وأعنى على وحدتي، وأد غيبتى ” قال: ومن بات في بيت وحدء، أو في دار أو في قرية وحده، فليقل: ” اللهم آنس وحشتي وأعنى على وحدتي “.

From him, from Bakr Bin Salih Al Razy, from Al Ja’fary,

Abu Al-Hassan-asws has said: ‘The one who goes out alone in a journey, so he should say, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, there is no Might nor Strength except with Allah-azwj. O Allah-azwj! Make me (feel) at ease in my loneliness, and Support me on my being alone’.

قال: وقال له قائل: إنى صاحب صيد سبع، وأبيت بالليل في الخرابات، والمكان الوحش، فقال: إذا دخلت فقل: ” بسم الله ” وأدخل رجلك اليمنى، وإذا خرجت فأخرج رجلك اليسرى وقل: ” بسم الله ” فانك لا ترى مكروها إن شاء الله.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And a speaker said to him-asws, ‘I am as owner of seven animals, and I sleep the nights in the ruins, and places of loneliness’. So he-asws said: ‘Whenever you enter (these places), so say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj!’, and enter your right foot. And whenever you come out, so come out with your left foot and say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj’. So you would not see abhorrence, if Allah-azwj so Desires it’.[1269]

To the one who is better for you than Me-azwj? By My-azwj Honour and My-azwj Majesty, because you let go of your Covenant you did not come to My-azwj obedience, and if I-azwj has Captured you (your soul), you would not have come to My-azwj Benevolence’.[1270]

37 – باب آداب المسافر

Chapter 37 – Etiquettes of the traveller

عنه، عن القاسم بن محمد، عن المنقرى، عن حماد بن عثمان، (أو ابن عيسى،) عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: قال لقمان لابنه: ” إذا سافرت مع قوم فأكثر استشارتهم في أمرك وأمرهم، وأكثر التبسم في وجوههم، وكن كريما على زادك بينهم، فإذا دعوك فأجبهم، وإذا استعانوا بك فأعنهم، واغلبهم بثلاث، طول الصمت، وكثرة الصلوة، وسخاء – النفس بما معك من دابة أو مال أو زاد،

From him, from Abu Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Al Manqary, from Hamaad Bin Usman (or Ibn Isa),

Abu Abdullah-asws having said; ‘Luqman-as said to his-as son: ‘Whenever you travel with a group, take a lot of advice about them for your affairs and their affairs, and smile frequently in their faces, and be generous with your provisions. And if they call you, respond to them, and if they seek your support, help them. And be overcome them with three things – the length of silence, and the frequency of the Prayer, and generosity of the self with whatever is with you from the animal, or wealth, or provisions.

وإذا استشهدوك على الحق فاشهد لهم، وأجهد رأيك لهم إذا استشاروك، ثم لا تعزم حتى تثبت وتنظر، ولا تجب في مشورة حتى تقوم فيها وتقعد وتنام وتأكل وتصلى وأنت مستعمل فكرتك وحكمتك في مشورته، فان من لم يمحض النصيحة لمن استشاره سلبه الله رأيه ونزع عنه الامانة،

And if they ask you to testify to the Truth, so testify for it, and exhaust your opinion for them if they consult you. Then do not advise them until you are sure about it and reconsider it, and do not answer in your advice until you stand regarding it, and sit, and sleep, and eat, and Pray, and you are utilising your thoughts and your wisdom with regards to your advice. So the one who does not refine his advice for the one who consulted him, Allah-azwj Crucifies his opinion, and Removes from him the trust.

وإذا رأيت أصحابك يمشون فامش معهم، وإذا رأيتهم يعملون فاعمل معهم، وإذا تصدقوا وأعطوا قرضا فأعط معهم، واسمع لمن هو أكبر منك سنا، وإذا أمروك بأمر وسألوك فتبرع لهم وقل: ” نعم ” ولا – تقل: ” لا ” فان ” لا ” عى ولؤم، وإذا تحيرتم في طريقكم فانزلوا، وإن شككتم في القصد فقفوا وتؤامروا،

And if you see your companions walking, so you should walk with them, and if you see them doing something, so do it with them, and if they give charity and give a loan, so give with them. And listen to the one who is older than you in age, and if he orders you and asks you, so say, Yes’, and do not say, ‘No’, for the ‘No’ is a fault and blamable. And if you are confused regarding your road, so stop and encamp, and if you are in doubt regarding the intended course, pause and plan.

وإذا رأيتم شخصا واحدا فلا تسألوه عن طريقكم ولا تسترشدوه، فان الشخص الواحد في الفلاة مريب، لعله أن يكون عينا للصوص أو أن يكون الشيطان الذى حيركم، واحذروا الشخصين أيضا إلا أن تروا مالا أرى، فان العاقل إذا أبصر بعينيه شيئا عرف الحق منه، والشاهد يرى مالا يرى الغائب،

And if you see one person, do not ask him about your direction of road, and do not heed his guidance, for the one person in the wild is suspect for he could be an eye for the thieves, or he could be the Satan-la who confused you. And be cautious of two persons as well, unless you can see what I-as don’t, for the intellectual, when he sees something with his own eyes recognises the truth from it, and the witness can see what the absentee does not.

يا بنى وإذا جاء وقت الصلوة فلا – تؤخرها لشئ، صلها واسترح منها فانها دين، وصل في جماعة ولو على رأس زج، ولا تنامن على دابتك، فان ذلك سريع في دبرها، وليس ذلك من فعل الحكماء، إلا أن تكون في محمل يمكنك التمدد لاسترخاء المفاصل،

O my son! And when the time of Salaat comes up, so do not delay it for anything, and offer Salaat and seek comfort from it for it is the Religion. And Pray in congregation even if there is pushing upon the head. And do not sleep upon your animal for that is injurious to its back, and that is not from the actions of the wise except if you are in a carriage and it is possible for you to stretch your joints.

وإذا قربت من المنزل فانزل عن دابتك فانها تعينك، وابدأ لعلفها قبل نفسك فانها نفسك، وإذا أردتم النزول فعليكم من بقاع الارضين بأحسنها لونا، وألينها تربة، وأكثرها عشبا، وإذا نزلت فصل ركعتين قبل أن تجلس، وإذا أردت قضاء حاجة فأبعد المذهب في الارض، وإذا ارتحلت فصل ركعتين ثم ودع الارض التى حللت بها وسلم عليها وعلى أهلها، فان لكل بقعة أهلا من الملائكة،

And when you come close to the destination, so descend from your animal and begin by feeding it before yourself. And when you intend to encamp, so it is upon you to remain in a land, which is good in colour, soft in soil, and abundance of grass. And if you encamp, so Pray two cycles before you sit down. And if you intend to fulfill your need (toilet), go far away.

O mischievous one, there is no authority for you-la over them’. So when they are free (from eating), they say, ‘الحمد لله رب العالمين’ ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, the Lord-azwj of the Worlds’, the Angels say: ‘A people who have been Favoured over by Allah-azwj, so they leave the association (Shirk) of their Lord-azwj’. But, if they do not Name (Allah-azwj), the Angels say to the Satan-la: ‘Approach, O mischievous one, for you-la were with them’.

There was a group of people upon whom abundant Bounties were Poured and they are the people of Al-Sar Saar (a river). So they made their bread into a surplus, and they went on to wipe their children’s (backsides) with it, to the extent that, that dump yard became a mountain from that’.

قال فمر رجل صالح على امرأة وهى تفعل ذلك بصبى لها فقال: ويحكم اتقوا الله لا يغير ما بكم من نعمة فقالت: كأنك تخوفنا بالجوع، أما ما دام ثرثارنا يجرى، فانا لا نخاف الجوع،

They became need for what was in their hands, so they are it. Then they became needy to that very mountain (nappy soiled bread), (to the extent that) they used to divided it in between them with the scale’. (See Holy Quran Chapter 16: 112).[2373]

So he-asws said: ‘There was a people upon the river Sar Saar.  So they used to make what resembles the nappies to wipe their children with. So a man passed by, leaning upon a staff, and there was a woman who had taken one ‘nappy’ from those ‘nappies’ in order to wiper her child with. So he said to her, ‘Fear Allah-azwj, for this is not permissible’. So she said, ‘It is as if you are threatening me with the poverty? But, for as long as Al-Sar Saar is flowing, so I do not fear the poverty’.

قال: فأجرى الله الثرثار أضعف ما كان وحبس عنهم بركة السماء، فاحتاجوا إلى الذى كانوا ينجون به صبيانهم، فقسموه بينهم بالوزن، قال: ثم إن الله عزوجل رحمهم فرد عليهم ما كانوا عليه.

He-asws said: ‘So Allah-azwj Weakened the flow of Al-Sar Saar from what it used to be, and Withheld the Blessings of the sky from them. So they became need to that which they used to wipe their children with. So they divided in between them by the weighing’. Then the Imam-asws said: ‘Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic had Mercy upon them, so He-azwj Returned to them what was upon them’.[2374]

عنه، عن النوفلي، عن السكوني، عن أبى عبد الله، عن آبائه (ع) قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: من وجد كسرة ملقاة أو تمرة فأكلها لم تفارق بطنه حتى يغفر له.

It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who finds a crumb lying around so he eats it, it would not separate from his belly until he is Forgiven’.[2375]

عنه، عن محمد بن على، عن ابن أبى عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، قال: سألت أبا عبد الله (ع) عن صاحب لنا فلاحا يكون على سطحه الحنطة والشعير، فيطؤونه ويصلون عليه؟ – قال: فغضب وقال: لولا أنى أرى أنه من أصحابنا للعنته.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Saalim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about a companion of ours who was a farmer, and there happen to be wheat and barley upon his roof, so he tramples upon them and Prays over these?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘So he-asws was angered and said: ‘If I-asws had not seen him to be from our companions, I-asws would have Cursed him’.

وزاد فيه: ” أما يستطيع أن يتخذ لنفسه مصلى يصلى فيه؟! ثم قال: إن قوما وسع عليهم في أرزاقهم حتى طغوا، فاستخشنوا الحجارة فعمدوا إلى النقى فصنعوا منه كهيئة الافهار فجعلوه في مذاهبهم، فأخذهم الله بالسنين فعمدوا إلى أطعمتهم، فجعلوها في الخزائن، فبعث الله على ما في خزائنهم ما أفسده، حتى احتاجوا إلى ما كانوا يستطيبون به في مذاهبهم، فجعلوا يغسلونه ويأكلونه.

And there is an addition in it – He-asws said: ‘Does he not have the ability to take a Prayer mat and Pray on it!?’ Then he-asws said: ‘There were a people, upon whom sustenance was Expanded (became rich) until they rebelled. They found the rocks to be rough, and so they crafted their best food as if these were (toilet) papers, and they made these (used ones) to be in their dump yard. So Allah-azwj Seized them for two years. So they made their foods to be in their storage. So Allah-azwj Sent upon what was in their storage, what would spoil it, to the extent that they became needy to what was in their dump yard. So they went on to washing it and eating it’.

ثم قال أبو عبد الله (ع): ولقد دخلت على أبى العباس وقد أخذ القوم المجلس، فمد يده إلى والسفرة بين يديه موضوعة، فأخذ بيده فذهبت لاخطو إليه فوقعت رجلى على طرف – السفره فدخلني من ذلك ما شاء الله أن يدخلنى، إن الله يقول: ” فان يكفر بها هؤلاء فقد وكلنا بها قوما ليسوا بها بكافرين ” قوما والله يقيمون الصلوة ويؤتون الزكوة، ويذكرون الله كثيرا.

Then Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘And I-asws had come to Abu Al-Abbas, and the people had taken to a gathering. So he extended his hand towards me-asws and the table-spread had been placed in front of him. So I-asws grabbed his hand, and I-asws ended up stepping upon it, so I-asws fell upon my-asws feet on the side of the table-spread. So there entered upon me-asws from that, what Allah-azwj so Desired to enter into me-asws. Allah-azwj is Saying [6:89] therefore if they disbelieve in it We have already Entrusted with it a people who are not disbelievers in it – by Allah-azwj these were a people who used to establish Prayers and give the Zakaat, and used to remember Allah-azwj much’.

قال ابن سنان: وفى حديث أبى بصير، قال: نزلت فيهم هذا الاية ” وضرب الله مثلا قرية كانت آمنة مطمئنة، إلى آخر الاية “.

1 – باب الاستخارة

Chpter 1 – The Istikhaara (Asking for Allah-azwj’s Choice)

أحمد بن أبى عبد الله البرقى، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن هارون بن خارجة قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): من استخار الله عزوجل مرة واحدة وهو راض بما صنع الله له خار الله له حتما.

Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Usman Bin Isa, from Haroun Bin Kharjat who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The one who asks for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’s Choice once and he is pleased with whatever Allah-azwj has Decided for him, Allah-azwj would inevitably Choose good for him’.[2402]

وباسناده قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله (ع) يقول: إذا أراد أحدكم أمرا فلا يشاورن فيه أحدا من الناس حتى يبدأ فيشاور الله قلت: وما مشاورة الله؟ – قال: يبدأ فيستخير الله فيه أولا، ثم يشاور فيه، فانه إذا بدأ بالله تبارك وتعالى أجرى الله له الخيرة على لسان من يشاء من الخلق.

And by his chain, said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Whenever one of you intends for a matter, so he should not consult anyone from the people with regards to it until he begins by consulting Allah-azwj’. I said, ‘And what is the consultation of Allah-azwj?’ He-asws said: ‘First of all, he should begin by getting Allah-azwj to Choose for him with regards to it (Istikhara), then he should consult  (the people) with regards to it. So, if he were to begin with Allah-azwj Blessed and High, Allah-azwj would Make the goodness to flow for him upon the tongue of the one whom he consults from the people’ (so he will get an answer to that he did not know/thought about).[2403]

وعنه، عمن ذكره، عن أبى عبد الله (ع) قال: قال الله عزوجل: من شقاء عبدى أن يعمل الاعمال فلا يستخيرنى.

And from him, from the one who mentioned it,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: “From the wretched ones of My-azwj servants is the one who works the deeds, so he does not ask for My-azwj Choice (Istikhaara)’.[2404]

– عنه، عن ابن محبوب، عن على بن رئاب، عن عبد الله بن مسكان، عن محمد بن مضارب، قال: قال أبو عبد الله (ع): من دخل في أمر بغير استخارة ثم ابتلى لم يؤجر.

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Muhammad Bin Mazaarab who said,

‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The one who enters into a matter without Istikhaara, then is afflicted, would not be Recompensed’.[2405]

عنه، عن محمد بن عيسى اليقطينى وعثمان بن عيسى، عمن ذكره، عن بعض أصحابنا، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): من أكرم الخلق على الله؟ – قال: أكثرهم ذكرا لله وأعملهم بطاعته، قلت: فمن أبغض الخلق إلى الله؟ – قال: من يتهم الله، قلت: وأحد يتهم الله؟ – قال: نعم، من استخار الله فجاءته الخيرة بما يكره فسخط فذلك يتهم الله.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Isa Al Yaqteeny and Usmaan Bin Isa, from the one who mentioned it, from one of our companions who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Who is the most honourable of the people to Allah-azwj?’ He-asws said: ‘The one most frequent in mentioning Allah-azwj and most obedient to Him-azwj in his deeds’. I said, ‘So who is the most hated of the people to Allah-azwj’ He-asws said: ‘The one who accuses Allah-azwj’. I said, ‘And (there is) one who accuses Allah-azwj?’ The Imam-asws said: ‘Yes. The one who asks for Allah-azwj’s Choice, so He-azwj Makes the goodness to come by what he dislikes, and he is angered, so that is an accuser to Allah-azwj’.[2406]

عنه، عن النوقلى باسناده قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: من استخار الله فليوتر.

From him, from Al Nowfaly, by his chain, said,

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The one who asks for Allah-azwj’s Choice (Istikhaara), so let him Pray’.[2407]

عنه، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن خلف بن حماد، عن إسحاق بن عمار، قال: قلت لابي عبد الله (ع): ربما أردت الامر تفرق نفسي على فرقتين، إحداهما تأمرني، والاخرى تنهانى، قال: إذا كنت كذلك فصل ركعتين واستخر الله مائة مرة، ثم انظر أعزم الامرين لك فافعله فان الخيرة فيه إن شاء الله، ولتكن استخارتك في عافية، فانه ربما خير للرجل في قطع يده، وموت ولده، وذهاب ماله.

From him, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Khalaf Bin Hamaad, from Is’haq Bin Amaar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Sometimes I intend for a matter, my soul gets divided into two sections – one of the two orders me (for it), and the other prevents me’. He-asws said: ‘If it was like that, so Pray two Cycles and ask for Allah-azwj’s Choice (Istikhaara) one hundred times. Then look at the greater of the two Commands for you, so do it. So if there is goodness therein, if Allah-azwj so Desires, even if your Istikhaara is regarding good health, for sometimes it is better for the man in having his hand cut off, and the death of his son, and the going away of his wealth’.[2408]

عنه، عن على بن الحكم، عن أبا الاحمر، عن شهاب بن عبد ربه، عن أبى – عبد الله (ع) قال: كان أبى إذا أراد الاستخارة في الامر توضأ وصلى ركعتين، وإن كانت الخادمة تكلمه فيقول: سبحان الله ولا يتكلم حتى يفرغ.

From him, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Al Ahmar, from Shahaab Bin Abd Rabbih,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘Whenever my-asws father-asws intended for Istikhaara regarding the matter, he-asws would perform ablution and Pray two Cycles, and if it was that the servant spoke to him-asws, so he-asws would be saying: ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj’, and he-asws would not speak until he-asws was free’.[2409]

2 – باب القول عند الاستخارة

Chapter 2 – The words (to be spoken) during the Istikhaara

عنه، عن هارون بن مسلم، عن مسعدة بن صدقة، قال: سمعت جعفر بن محمد (ع) يقول: ليجعل أحدكم مكان قوله ” اللهم إنى أستخيرك بعلمك، وأستقدرك بقدرتك ” ” اللهم إنى أستخيرك برحمتك وأستقدرك الخير بقدرتك عليه ”

From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa who said,

‘I heard Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws saying: ‘One of you should make in place of his words, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask for Your-azwj Choice by Your-azwj Knowledge, and for Your-azwj Ability by Your-azwj Power! O Allah-azwj! I ask for Your-azwj Choice by Your-azwj Mercy, and for a measurement of the goodness by Your-azwj Power over it!’

وذلك لان في قولك: ” اللهم إنى أستخيرك بعلمك وأستقدرك بقدرتك ” الخير والشر، فإذا اشترطت في قولك كان لك شرطك إن استجيب لك، ولكن قل: اللهم إنى أستخيرك برحمتك، وأستقدرك الخير بقدرتك على لانك عالم الغيب والشهادة الرحمن الرحيم، فأسألك أن تصلى على محمد النبي وآله كما صليت على إبراهيم وآل إبراهيم إنك حميد مجيد، اللهم إن كان هذا الامر الذى أريده خيرا لى في دينى ودنياى وآخرتي فيسره لى، وإن كان غير ذلك فاصرفه عنى واصرفني عنه.

And that is because in your words, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask for Your-azwj Choice by Your-azwj Knowledge, and for Your-azwj Ability by Your-azwj Power’ is the good and the evil (as well). So if you were to place a condition in your words, it was your condition that answers for you, but you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask for Your-azwj Choice by Your-azwj Mercy, and I ask for Your-azwj Ability by Your-azwj Power, for the goodness by Your-azwj Measurement for me, because You-azwj are the Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful, Therefore, I ask You-azwj that You-azwj Send Blessings upon Muhammad-saww the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, just as You-azwj Sent upon Ibrahim-as and the Progeny of Ibrahim-as, You-azwj are the Praised One, the Glorious One! O Allah-azwj! If this matter which I am intending is better for me regarding my Religion and my world and my Hereafter, so Ease it for me, and if it was other than that, so Change it from me, and Change me from it’.[2410]

عنه، عن هارون بن مسلم، عن مسعدة عن جعفر بن محمد (ع) قال: كان بعض آبائى يقول: ” اللهم لك الحمد، وبيدك الخير كله، اللهم إنى أستخيرك برحمتك، وأستقدرك الخير بقدرتك عليه، لانك تقدر ولا أقدر، وتلعم ولا أعلم، وأنت علام الغيوب، اللهم فما كان من أمر هو أقرب من طاعتك وأبعد من معصيتك، وأرضى لنفسك، وأقضى لحقك فيسره لى ويسرني له، وما كان من غير ذلك فاصرفه عنى واصرفني عنه، فانك لطيف لذلك والقادر عليه.

From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada,

Imam Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws has said: ‘One of my-asws forefathers-asws was saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! The Praise is for You-azwj and in Your-azwj Hands is the goodness, all of it. O Allah-azwj! I-asws ask for Your-azwj Choice by Your-azwj Mercy, and I-asws ask for Your-azwj Choice for the goodness by Your-azwj Power over it, because You-azwj are Able and I-asws am not able, and You-azwj Know and I-asws do not know, and You-azwj Know the unseen. O Allah-azwj! So whatever from the matter was closer to Your-azwj obedience and remote from Your-azwj disobedience, and Pleasing to Yourself-azwj, and fulfilling of Your-azwj Right, so Ease it for me and Cause me to hasten to it. And whatever was from other than that, so Change it from me, and Change me from it, for You-azwj are Aware of the subtleties (details) of that and have the Power over it’.[2411]

عنه، عن عثمان بن عيسى، قال: حدثنا عمرو بن شمر، عن جابر، عن أبى – جعفر (ع) قال: كان على بن الحسين (ع) إذا هم بأمر حج أو عمرة أو بيع أو شراء أو عتق تطهر ثم قال: اللهم إن كان كذا وكذا خيرا لى في دينى، وخيرا لى في دنياى وآخرتي، وعاجل أمرى وآجله، فيسره لى، رب اعزم على رشدي وإن كرهت ذلك وأبته نفسي.

From him, from Usman Bin Isa who said, ‘Amro Bin Shimr narrated to us, from Jabir,

Abu Ja’far-asws has said: ‘Whenever Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws thought of a matter, Hajj or Umrah, or buying or selling, or freeing (a slave), cleansed (performed ablution), then said: ‘O Allah-azwj! If such and such was better for me in my-asws Religion, and better for me-asws in my-asws world and my-asws Hereafter, Hasten my-asws matter and Make it easier for me-asws. Lord-azwj I-asws intend for righteous Guidance even if I-asws dislike that and my-asws soul refuses that’.[2412]

عنه، عن عدة من أصحابنا، عن على بن أسباط، قال: حدثنى من قال له أبو – جفعر (ع): إنى إذا أردت الاستخارة في الامر العظيم استخرت الله في مقعد مائة مرة، وإن كان شراء رأس أو شبهه استخرته ثلاث مرات في مقعد، أقول: اللهم أنى أسألك بأنك عالم العنب والشهادة، إن كنت تعلم أن كذا وكذا خير لى فخره لى ويسره، و إن كنت تعلم أنه شر لى في دينى ودنياى وآخرتي فاصرفه عنى إلى ما هو خير لى، و رضنى في ذلك بقضائك فانك تعلم ولا أعلم وتقدر ولا أقدر وتقضى ولا أقضى، إنك علام الغيوب.

From him, from a number of our companions, from Ali Bin Asbaat who said,

‘It was narrated to me from the one to whom, Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Whenever I-asws intend for Istikhaara regarding the great matter, I-asws pray to Allah-azwj for the Choice for a one hundred times in one sitting, and even if it was for buying a head (slave) or (something) resembling it, I-asws Istikhaara it three times in one sitting.

From him, from Ahmad Bin Nuh, from Shuayb Al Neshapouri, from Ubeydullah Bin Abdullah Al Dahqan, from Ahmad Bin Aa’iz, from Al Halby,

Abu Abdullah-asws has said: ‘The consultation does not take place except with its Limits. So the one who recognises it with its Limits (then fine) otherwise its harm upon the consulting one would be greater than its benefit.

So the first of it (Limit) is that the consulted one should be intelligent; and the second is that he should be free (unbiased), a Religious man; and the third is that he should be a truthful, brotherly; and the fourth is that he should be notified of your secret so that his knowledge (of the matter) should become just like your knowledge of it, then he would veil that and conceal it’.[2427]

فانه إذا كان عاقلا انتفعت بمشورته، وإذا كان حرا متدينا جهد نفسه في – النصيحة لك، وإذا كان صديقا مواخيا كتم سرك إذا أطلعته على سرك، وإذا أطلعته على سرك فكان علمه به كعلمك تمت المشورة وكملت النصيحة.

So if he was intelligent, you would benefit by his consultation, and if he was free (un-bias) and Religious, he would strive hard with himself in the advice to you, and if he was truthful, brotherly, he would conceal your secret when you notify him of your secret; and when you notify him of your secret so that his knowledge was like your knowledge (of the matter), his consultation would be complete (not deficient), and his advice would be complete (as well)’.[2428]
