309. From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about a man whose father had been made a captive in the era of Ignorance, so he never knew that he was a son whose father was made a captive in the era of ignorance until after he had been born a slave in Al-Islam and had been freed’. So he (asws) said: ‘His lineage is to his enslaved father in Al-Islam, then he would be counted from the tribe which his father was enslaved in, that he was known to be from them, and he will inherit from them and they will inherit from him’.

310. Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Abdul Momin Al-Ansary, who has narrated: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said that: ‘Allah (azwj) has Granted three characteristics to the Believer – the honour in the world and the Hereafter, and the success in the world and the Hereafter, and the prestige in front of the unjust ones’.

311. Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (AS) saying; ‘Three things are a matter of pride for the believer and an adornment of him in the world and the Hereafter: the prayer during the last part of the night, and his dejection from what is in the hands of the people, and his Wilayah of the Imam from the progeny of Muhammad (saww). And the three who are the most evil of creation by whom the best of creation was plagued are Abu Sufyan who fought against the Messenger of Allah (sw) and opposed him, and Muawiya who fought against Ali (AS) and opposed him, and Yazid bin Muawiya, may Allah curse him, who fought against Al-Husayn bin Ali (AS) and opposed him until he killed him’.

312. Ibn Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al-Thumaly, who has narrated: Ali Bin Al-Husayn (asws) has said: ‘There is no nobility for the Qureysh, nor for the Arabs except by humbleness, and there is no prestige except by piety, and there are no deeds except by the intention, and there is no worship except by the understanding. Indeed! The most hateful of the people to Allah (azwj) is the one who emulates the Sunnah of an Imam (asws) but does not emulate him (asws) in his deeds’.

313. Ibn Mahbub, from Abu Ayyub, from Burayd Bin Muawiya who said: I heard Abu Ja’far (a.s.) saying that: ‘Yazid Ibn Muawiya (la) entered Al-Medina and he wanted to perform the Pilgrimage. So he sent for a man from Quraysh who came to him. So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘Do you accept that you are my slave, and if I wish I can sell you, and if I wish I can promote you?’ So the man said to him (la), ‘You are no more prestigious than me among the Quraysh in nobility, nor was your father more preferable than my father during the era of ignorance and Al-Islam, and neither are you (la) more preferable than me in the Religion, nor better than me. So how can I accept what you are asking of me?’ So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘By Allah (azwj)! If you do not accept me, I shall kill you’. So the man said to him (la), ‘Your killing me would not be greater than your killing of Al-Husayn Ibn Ali (a.s.) the so of Rasulallah (s.w)’. So he ordered that he be killed, may Allah Curse him. Then he sent for Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.). So he said to him similar to what he had said to the Qurayshi. Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a.s) said to him: ‘Do you see that if I do not accept you, you kill me just as you (la) killed the man yesterday?’ Yazid (la) said to him, ‘Yes’. So Ali Ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.) said to him: ‘I have accepted to you (la) with what you asked. I am a humble slave (of Allah), so if you wish captivate me or if you wish, release me’. So Yazid (la) said to him, ‘It is of a higher level (referring to the one whom he had killed the day before) even if I (kill) or spare your blood it would not reduce your nobility.'"

[1]أي الشر قريب بك، و في المرآة« قال الجوهريّ: قولهم: اولى لك تهدد و وعيد و قال الأصمعى: معناه قاربه ما يهلكه اي نزل به انتهى و هذا لا يناسب المقام و أن يكون الملعون بعد في مقام التهديد و لم يرض بذلك عنه عليه السلام و يحتمل أن يكون مراده أن هذا أولى لك و احرى مما صنع القرشيّ».ص 235
