392. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Jameel Bin Salih, from Yusuf Bin Abu Saeed who said: I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah (asws) one day, so he (asws) said to me: ‘When it will be the Day of Judgement and Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Gathers the creatures, Noah (as) would be the first one to be called. It will be said to him (as): ‘Did you (as) preach?’ So he (as) will say: ‘Yes’. It will be said to him (as): ‘Who will testify for you (as)?’ So he (as) will say: ‘Muhammad Bin Abdullah (saww)’. He (asws) said: ‘So Noah (as) would go out and pass over the people until he (as) would come to Muhammad (saww), and he (saww) would be clothed in the musk, and with him (saww) would be Ali (asws), and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[67:27] But when they shall see it nigh, the faces of those who disbelieve shall be sorry”. So Noah (as) will say to Muhammad (saww): ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Questioned me (as) Saying: “Did you (as) preach?” I (as) said: ‘Yes’. So He (azwj) Said: “Who will testify for you (as)?’ So I (as) said: ‘Muhammad (saww)’. So he (saww) will say: ‘O Ja’far (as), O Hamza (as), go and testify for him (as) that he (as) did preach’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Thus Ja’far (as) and Hamza (as) are the two witnesses for the Prophets (as) of what they (as) had preached’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), so where will Ali (asws) be?’ He (asws) said: ‘He (asws) is of a status greater than that’.
