148. Ali Bin Ibrahim, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad altogether, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kanany, from Al-Asbagh Bin Nabata who said: Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) said: ‘For the sun there are three hundred constellations. Each of the constellations from these is like an island from the islands of Arabia. So it descends upon a constellation from these each day. So when it disappears, it ends up to the limits beneath the Throne. It does not stop prostrating until the next day. Then it returns to the place of its rising, and with it are two Angels who hail with it and turn its face towards the people of the sky, reversing it from the people of the earth. And had it faced the people of the earth, it would have burnt down the earth and the ones upon it due to the intensity of its heat. And the meaning of its prostration is what the Glorious and the High has Said: “[22:18] Do you not see that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind?”

150. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘I hold the innocent ones among you to be responsible for the sins of the morbid ones. And why should I (asws) not do so, and there reaches you from that (evil) man which shames you as well as shames me (asws), but you are (still like to) sit with them and narrate from them. So a passer-by passes by, so he says, ‘They are more evil than this one’. So if there reaches you from them what you dislike, express your abhorrence to them, and forbid them. That would be better for you and for me (asws)’.

He (a.s.) said: ‘There were of three types – A type who were with the commands and they commanded others, so they were Rescued; and a type who were with the commands but they did not command others, so they were metamorphosed as particles; and a type who were not with the command and did not command others, so they perished’.

153. Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, and Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, altogether from Saleh Bin Abu Hammaad, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Made two governments for the Religion. The government of Adam (as) and the government of Iblees (la). The government of Adam (as) is the government of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. So if Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Intends to be worshipped publicly, He (azwj) Makes apparent the government of Adam (as), and if He (azwj) Intends that He (azwj) should be worshipped in secret, it would be the government of Iblees (la). So the broadcaster of what Allah (azwj) has Intended to be a secret, is a renegade from the Religion’.

When it will be the Day of Judgement Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic will Gather the former ones and the later ones for the Decisive Speech (Fasl Al-Khitaab). The Rasool Allah (saww) will be Called, and Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) will be Called. So the Rasool Allah (saww) would be clothed in a green garment which would illuminate what is in between the east and the west, and Ali (asws) would be clothed with the like of it. And the Rasool Allah (saww) would be clothed in a rosy garment which would illuminate what is in between the east and the west, and Ali (asws) would be clothed with the like of it. Then they (asws) would both ascend wearing these. Then we (asws) will be Called, and the Accounting of the people would be handed over to us (asws). By Allah (azwj), we (asws) are the ones who (asws) would be making the people of the Paradise enter into the Paradise and the people of the Fire into the Fire. Then the Prophets (as) would be Called, and they will be standing in two rows in front of the Throne of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic until we (asws) are free from the Accounting of the people. So when the people of the Paradise enter the Paradise, and the people of the Fire enter the Fire, the Lord (azwj) of the Honour will Send Ali (asws) who would descend them to their places in the Paradise and get them married, for Ali (asws), by Allah (azwj), is the one who (asws) will perform the marriages of the people of the Paradise in the Paradise. And that Prestige is not for anyone other than him (asws) from Allah (azwj) and a Preference which Allah (azwj) has Preferred him (asws) by and Bestowed upon him (asws). By Allah (azwj), he (asws) is the one who (asws) will make enter the people of the Fire into the Fire, and he (asws) is the one who (asws) will close the Doors of the Paradise when the people of the Paradise have entered into it, because the Doors of the Paradise are under his (asws) control and the Doors of the Fire are under his (asws) control’.

If those fools are intending that they would prevent us (asws) from our (asws) Knowledge, to go to their ignorance, then they are not welcome.

188. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Saleh Bin Al-Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Basheer, from Sabbaah Al-Haza’, from Abu Asama who said: ‘I accompanied Abu Abdullah (asws). He (asws) said to me: ‘Read’. So I opened a Chapter from the Quran and recited it. He (asws) became soft-hearted and wept, then said: ‘O Abu Asama! Nurture your hearts by the Mention of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, ‘وَ احْذَرُوا النَّكْتَ’ and be cautious of the instigation, for it comes upon the heart once or for many hours of doubt in the morning when there is neither belief nor disbelief in the heart, like a worn out piece of cloth or the decayed bone. O Abu Asama! Is it not that sometimes you inspect your heart, so you neither remember neither any good nor any evil by it, and nor do you know where it is?’ I said to him (asws), ‘Yes, it has happened to me, and I have seen it happen to the people’. He (asws) said: ‘Yes, everyone is exposed to it. So if it is like that remember Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, ‘وَ احْذَرُوا النَّكْتَ’ and be cautious of the instigation, for if He (azwj) Intends good for a servant, Instigates belief, and if He (azwj) Intends by it other than that, Instigates other than that’. I said, ‘What is other than that, may I be sacrificed for you (asws), what is it?’ He (asws) said: ‘If He (azwj) Intends infidelity, infidelity is instigated’.

189. A number of our companions narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Ali ibn Al-Hakam, from Abu al-Maghra', from Zayd al-Shahaam that Amru ibn Sa'eed ibn Hilal asked Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as), "I do not get to meet you for many years at a time so bequeath me something that I can hold on to." He (as) said, "I commend to you Taqwa (fear) of Allah, restraint (from sins) and striving (in worship). Beware of setting [your sight] on the one who is above you (i.ecoveting what he has of wealth). It should be sufficient (for you) what Allah (azwj) said to His Messenger: "Let not their wealth and children impress you" (9:55), and He (also) said: "Extend not your gaze (in yearning) to that which We have granted groups of them for (temporary) enjoyment, (it is merely) an adornment of the life of the world" (20:131), but if you fear something of the sort (will happen) then bring to mind the life of Rasulullah (sw), for his diet was barley, his dessert was dates, and his kindling was palm-leaves, if he could find them! And if you are afflicted with an affliction in your person (by sickness), or your wealth (by its loss), or your children (by their death), then recall your affliction in the passing of Rasulullah (sw) for the creation have not been afflicted by its like ever!".

191. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moala Bin Muhammad, with a chain going up to some of the wise ones who said: ‘The most deserving of the people who wish to enrich the people are the niggardly ones, because if the people become rich they would refrain from their wealth. And the most deserving of the people who wish for the correction of the people are the ones with the faults, because if the people are corrected, they would refrain from following their faults. And the most deserving of the people who wish for forbearance for the people are the foolish ones who need to be exempted from their foolishness. On the contrary, the niggardly ones become wishers of poverty for the people, and the faulty ones become wishers for mischief for them, and the sinful ones become wishers for their foolishness. And in poverty people are needy to the niggardly ones, and in mischief they find faults with the faulty ones, and in foolishness, the recompense is by the sins’. (THIS IS NOT A HADEETH)

192. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Al-Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hassan Bin Rahid who said: ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘O Hassan! If a calamity were to descend upon you, do not complain about it to any one from the opposition, but mention it to one of your brothers, for you will not be benefit from one of the four qualities – either sufficiency by wealth, or assistance by prestige, or an Answered supplication, or consultation by opinion’.

193. Ali Bin Al-Husayn Al-Mozab, and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, from Abdullah Bin Abu Al-Haris Al-Hamdany, from Jabir, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) says that Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) gave a sermon saying: ‘Praise be to Allah (azwj), the Abaser, the Raiser, the Harmer, the Benefitter, the vastly Benevolent, Majestic is His (azwj) Praise, True are His (azwj) Names, Overwhelming by the Hidden and what approaches the hearts, the One Who (azwj) Made the death to be in the midst of His (azwj) creatures with Justice, and Favoured them with the life. So He (azwj) Bestows life and Brings upon death and Measures out the sustenance by His (azwj) Knowledge by an Estimation, and Mastered by His (azwj) Wisdom the measure of it. He (azwj) is All-Aware, All-Seeing. He (azwj) is Eternal without cessation, and the Remaining without an end. He (azwj) Knows what is in the earth, and what is in the Heaven, and what lies between the two and what is (covered) underneath the soil. I (asws) Praise Him (azwj) sincerely with the treasured Praise, by what the Angels and the Prophets (as) Praised Him (azwj). A Praise which cannot be numbered, nor can time pass it by, and no one has even come with the like of it. I (asws) believe in Him (azwj) and place reliance upon Him (azwj), and Guided by Him (azwj), Sufficed by Him (azwj), and Judged by Him (azwj) with good, and by His (azwj) Pleasure. And I (asws) testify that there is no god except Allah (azwj), One with no associates to Him (azwj), and I (asws) testify that Muhammad (saww) is His (azwj) servant and His (azwj) Messenger (saww) having Sent with the Guidance and the Religion of the Truth to Make it overcome all of the other Religions even though the Polytheists may be averse to it. May greetings be upon him (saww) and his (saww) Progeny (asws)’. O you people! The world is not a house for you to settle in, but rather you are in it like passengers of a caravan, which have been asked to move on soon after being disembarked. They came to it lightly (without luggage) and would be exiting from it lightly (with empty hands), not finding a way to divert from the journey, or a way to return to what they had left behind. Take them seriously, for they relied upon the world and did not prepare until they were taken by the throat, and their conclusion was that they ended-up in a house of people for whom the pens have dried up (nothing to be written anymore for them). There remains neither any news for most of them nor any traces of them. They were in the world only for a little while and were dispatched to the Hereafter in a hurry. So you have become residents in their houses, following in their footsteps like a herd of animals travelling on a journey in which there is neither ‘Where’ (are we going?) and no ‘How far’ (are we going?). Your days are tiring upon yourselves and your nights are an escape for your souls. So in the morning your condition is what their condition used to be and you just follow their ways as examples. So do not let the life of the world deceive you, for you are only travelers in it. Death would descend among you and shoot its arrows, and herd you all to the House of the Reward, and the Punishment, and the Recompense, and the Accounting’. May Allah (azwj) have Mercy upon the person who is concerned about his Lord (azwj) and moved away from his sins, and (likes to) argue against his own desires and rejects his own yearnings. A person who harnessed himself with the reins of piety for fearing for the Sake of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, led to His (azwj) obedience by its reins, raising his head towards the Return with his eyes expecting the approach of death at all times, permanently thinking about it with a prolonged vigilance, abstaining from the world, earnestly working for the Hereafter. A person who has made the patience to be his ride to salvation, and the piety as his preparation for his death and as a medication for his (spiritual) illness. He learned a lesson, and considered, and left the world and the people. He learnt it for understanding and steadfastness, and his heart had respected the remembrance of the Return. He folded up his mattress, separated himself from his pillow, stood up on his feet and entered in its surroundings, fearful for the Sake of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, displaying humbleness between his face and the two palms in secret to his Lord (azwj) shedding tears and making his heart as a strong enclave in a prolonged fear of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. His interest is great regarding what is in the possession of Allah (azwj) whilst his fear for Pleasing Him (azwj) is intense. He suffices himself with the subsistence for his affairs and displays other than what he conceals, being content with the minimum from what he knows. These are the trusted ones of Allah (azwj) in His (azwj) land, by whom He (azwj) Defends His (azwj) servants. If one of them were to swear upon Allah (azwj) Majestic is His (azwj) Mention, he would fulfill it, or if he were to supplicate against anyone, Allah (azwj) would Help him. He (azwj) Listens to him when he whispers to Him (azwj) and Answers Him (azwj) when he calls upon Him (azwj). Allah (azwj) has Made the Good Ending to be for the pious and the Paradise for its deserving ones. “[10:10] Their cry in it shall be the best of the calls Glory to Thee, O Allah! Their calling out to the Master (azwj) for what He (azwj) would have Bestowed upon them, and their greeting in it shall be: Peace; and the last of their cry shall be: Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds”.

194. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al-No’man, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) mentioned this sermon of Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) on the day of Friday : - ‘All Praise is for Allah (azwj) Who (azwj) is Deserving of all Praise and is the Guardian of it, and all Praise ends to Him (azwj) in its rightful place, the Initiator, and Inventor, the Majestic, the Magnificent, the Mighty, the Benevolent, the only One for the Greatness, and the Unique One for the Highness, the Omnipotent with Esteem, and the Overcomer by His (azwj) Omnipotence, the Preventer by His (azwj) Force, the Dominant by His (azwj) Power, Higher than everything by His (azwj) Compulsiveness, the Praised One by His (azwj) Gratitude and by His (azwj) Favours, the Provider by His (azwj) Gifts, and excessive Benefits, the Expansive in His (azwj) Sustenance, the Bestower by His (azwj) Bounties. We Praise Him (azwj) for His (azwj) Bounties and apparent Blessings, with a Praise weighed by His (azwj) Greatness and His (azwj) Majesty, and filled by His (azwj) Blessings and Greatness. And I (asws) testify that there is no god except for Allah (azwj), One with no associates to Him (azwj), Who (azwj) was in His (azwj) Existence as Foremost and in His (azwj) Everlasting. Veiled from the creatures was His (azwj) Oneness, and His (azwj) Lordship, and His (azwj) being Eternal, and they were submitted to the continuance of time. And I (asws) testify that Muhammad (saww) is His (azwj) servant, and His (azwj) Messenger (saww), and His (azwj) elite from His (azwj) creatures having Chosen him (saww) with His (azwj) Knowledge and Selected him (saww) for His (azwj) Revelation, and Relied upon him (saww) for His (azwj) Secret, and was Pleased with him (saww) for His (azwj) creatures, Assigned him (saww) for His (azwj) Great Command as a beacon for the Principles of His (azwj) Religion and a Program for His (azwj) Way, and an Opener for His (azwj) Revelation, as a Reason for the Door of His (azwj) Mercy. He (azwj) Sent him (saww) during a gap from the Messengers (as), and Guides from the Knowledge, and during fatigue from the differing and straying from the truth, and ignorance about the Lord (azwj), and denial of the Resurrection, and the Promise that He (azwj) Sent him (saww) to all the people as a Mercy to the Worlds by the Honourable Book which He (azwj) had Excelled it, and Detailed it, and Explained it, and Clarified it, and Strengthened it, and Preserved it from it being approached by the falsehood from its front and from its back. A Revelation from the Most Wise and Praised One (azwj). In it He (azwj) struck examples, and Gave therein Signs for the ones who have intellect. He (azwj) Permitted therein the Permissibles and Prohibited therein the Prohibitions, and Legalised therein the Religion for His (azwj) servants, Giving Excuses and Warnings so that they would become a Proof for the people to Allah (azwj) after the Messengers (as) and become a Preaching for a worshipping people. So he (saww) preached His (azwj) Message, and strived in His (azwj) Way, and worshipped Him (azwj) they were convinced. May Greetings of Allah (azwj) be upon him (saww) and his (saww) Progeny (asws), and submission to him (saww) be a lot of Peace. I (asws) advise you, O servants of Allah (azwj) to fear Allah (azwj) Who Began the affairs by His (azwj) Knowledge and to Him (azwj) is their journey tomorrow for its end. And in His (azwj) Hand is their extinction, and your extinction, and the expiration for your days, and the extermination of your allocated terms, and the cutting off of your terms. So, very shortly it would pass by you all just as it had left the ones who were before you all. Servants of Allah (azwj)! Make your striving in this world to provide from these short-lived days for the days of the Hereafter which are prolonged, for this is the house for the deeds and the Hereafter is the house for dwelling in, and the Recompense. So abandon it (the world), for deceived is the one who is deceived by its deception. Do not rely upon the world by attaching your hopes and become the ones who love it, the ones who covet it, the ones who are fascinated by it just like what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[10:24] The likeness of this world’s life is only as water which We send down from the cloud, then the herbage of the earth of which men and cattle eat grows luxuriantly thereby, until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect”. Along with that, a person never got experience in this world except that he inherited a lesson from it, nor did he wake up in the morning feeling secure except that he feared in it the descent of a catastrophe, or a change in bounties or a decline in health, with the death right behind that, and the trepidation of the Pausing in front of the Wise and Just One (azwj) Recompensing every soul with what it had done “[53:31] that He may reward those who do evil according to what they do, and (that) He may reward those who do good with goodness”. So fear Allah (azwj), Mighty is His (azwj) Mention, and hasten to the Pleasure of Allah (azwj), and the deeds with obedience to Him (azwj), and get closer to Him (azwj) with everything in which there is His (azwj) Pleasure for He (azwj) is Near and Answers. May Allah (azwj) Make us (asws) and you all of those who act towards His (azwj) Love and keep aside from His (azwj) Harshness. Then the best of the stories, and the best of the Advice, and the most beneficial of the Remembrance is the Book of Allah (azwj) Majestic and Mighty. Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[7:204] And when the Quran is recited, then listen to it and remain silent, that mercy may be shown to you”. I (asws) seek Refuge with Allah (azwj) from the Satan (la) the castaway. In the Name of Allah (azwj) the Beneficent the Merciful “[103:1] I swear by the time, [103:2] Most surely man is in loss, [103:3] Except those who believe and do good, and enjoin on each other truth, and enjoin on each other patience”. “[33:56] Surely Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who believe! call for (Divine) blessings on him and salute him with a (becoming) salutation”. Our Allah (azwj)! Send Greetings upon Muhammad (saww) and the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww), and Blessings upon Muhammad (saww) and the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww), and yearning upon Muhammad (saww) and the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad, and Peace upon Muhammad (saww) and the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww) higher than what You (azwj) had Greeted, and Blessed, and Mercy, and Yearning, and Peace upon Ibrahim (as) and the Progeny of Ibrahim (as), You (azwj) are the Most Praised and Most Glorious’. Our Allah (azwj)! Grant to Muhammad (saww) the ‘الْوَسِيلَةَ’ Means, and the ‘الشَّرَفَ’ Dignity, and the ‘الْفَضِيلَةَ’ Preference, and the ‘الْمَنْزِلَةَ الْكَرِيمَةَ’ Honourable Status. Our Allah (azwj)! Make Muhammad (saww) and the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad to be the greatest of all creatures, all of them (asws) as Dignitaries on the Day of Judgement, the nearest to You (azwj) in seating, the most eminent of faces in Your (azwj) Presence on the Day of Judgement, the most prestigious and preferential in Your (azwj) Presence in status and share. Our Allah (azwj)! Grant to Muhammad (saww) the most Dignified of the status, and Bestow the Peace and intercession of Al-Islam. Our Allah (azwj)! And join us all with him (saww), without failure, or loss, or remorse or alteration. O Lord (azwj) of the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just! Amen!’ Then he (asws) sat down for a while, then stood up and said: ‘The Praise is due to Allah (azwj) the One most deserving to be Awed and Praised, and the Foremost for the one who fears and worships, and the Highest for the one who Magnifies and Glorifies. We Praise Him (azwj) for His (azwj) Great Benevolence, and Excessive Grants, and apparent of His (azwj) Favours, and the goodness of His (azwj) Trials. And we believe in His (azwj) Guidance whose light does not get extinguished, nor does His (azwj) Extol be fully expressed, Whose Handle does not weaken. We seek Refuge with Allah (azwj) from the evil of every doubt, and the darkness of the strife, and we seek Forgiveness from the accumulation of the sins, and seek Protection from Him (azwj) from the wickedness of the deeds, and the detestable hopes, and the attacks of the terrors, and association with the people of the doubt, and the happiness with what the immoral ones do in the earth without having any right to do so. Our Allah (azwj)! Forgive us, and the Believing men and the Believing women, the living ones among them and the dead who You (azwj) have Made to die upon Your (azwj) Religion, and the Nation of Your (azwj) Prophet (saww). Our Allah (azwj), Accept their good deeds, and Overlook their sins, and Make Mercy to enter upon them, and the Forgiveness, and the Pleasure. And Forgive the living ones from the Believing men and the Believing women who believed in Your (azwj) Oneness, and ratified Your (azwj) Messenger (saww), and attached themselves to Your (azwj) Religion, and acted upon Your (azwj) Obligations, and followed Your (azwj) Prophet (saww), and made Your (azwj) Sunnah to be their Sunnah, and permitted for themselves Your (azwj) Permissibles, and Prohibited for themselves Your (azwj) Prohibitions, and feared Your (azwj) Punishment, and hoped for Your (azwj) Rewards, and befriended Your (azwj) friends, and were inimical to Your (azwj) enemies. Our Allah (azwj)! Accept their good deeds, and Overlook their sins, and Keep them, by Your (azwj) Mercy, with the righteous servants, O Lord (azwj) of the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just. Amen!’

Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you nations and tribes that you may identify yourselves with one another.' {49:13}.

As for Qays Bin Abdullah Bin Ajlaan, he was in that group’. He (the narrator) said: ‘He (asws) did not remain after that except for about five (days) until he (asws) passed away’.

Then said: ‘How can He (azwj) Command for their (asws) obedience and then allow them (the people) to dispute with them (asws). But rather, He (azwj) has Said that to the Commanded ones when He (azwj) Said to them (the people): “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger”.

213. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said: ‘The Messenger (saww) asked Jibraeel (as): ‘How were the people of Saleh (as) destroyed?’ So he said: ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Saleh (as) was Sent to his (as) people when he was sixteen years old. So he (saww) was with them until he (as) reached the age of one hundred and twenty years, they did not answer him (as) to the good. And they had for themselves seventy idols which they worshipped apart from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. So when he (as) saw that among them, he (as) said: ‘O people! I (as) was Sent to you all when I (as) was sixteen years old, and I (as) have now reached one hundred and twenty years, and I (as) present to you all two matters. If you like you can ask me until I (as) ask my (as) God (azwj) so He (azwj) would Answer you with regards to what you have asked me of within a short while. And if you like, I (as) would ask your gods, so if they answer me (as) by that which I (as) have asked them of, I (as) would go away from you all. So I (as) would have silenced you all and you would have silenced me (as)’. They said, ‘You (as) are being fair, O Saleh (as)’. So they prepared for the day that they will be going out for it. So they went out with their idols upon their backs, and prepared their food and drinks. So they ate and drank. When they finished, they called him (as) over. They said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Ask!’. So he (as) said to their elder: ‘What is the name of this one?’ He said, ‘Such and such’. So he (as) said to it: ‘O such and such! Answer me (as)!’ So it did not answer him (as)’. So Saleh (as) said: ‘What is the matter with it that it does not answer?’ They said, ‘Ask another one’. So he (as) asked all of them by their names, but they did not answer him (as) anything. So they turned towards their idols and said to them: ‘What is the matter with you all that you do not answer Saleh (as)?’ They did not answer. So they said, ‘Step away from us and leave us and our idols for a while’. Then they unrolled their rugs, and their furnishings, and their clothes, and wallowed upon the dust, and placed dust upon their heads, and said to their idols, ‘If you do not answer Saleh (as) today, you will be exposed’. Then they called him (as) over, so they said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Call to these (idols)’. So he (as) called upon them. They did not answer him (as). So he (as) said to them: ‘O People! Half the morning has passed and I (as) have not seen your gods to have answered me (as). So ask me (as), and I (as) shall ask my (as) God (azwj), and He (azwj) will Answer you shortly’. Seventy men from their elders were delegated to him (as) from the approved ones from among them, so they said, ‘O Saleh (as)! We ask you, so if your (as) Lord (azwj) were to answer us, we would follow you (as) and answer to you (as), and pledge our allegiances to you (as), all the people of our town altogether’. So Saleh (as) said to them: ‘Ask me (as) whatsoever you like’. So they said, ‘Walk with us towards this mountain’, and the mountain was quite near to them. So Saleh (as) went with them. When he (as) came up to the mountain, they said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Call upon your (as) Lord (azwj) for us, to bring out for us from this mountain this very moment, a blonde, tame, red she-camel with a distance of a mile between the two sides of the mountain’. So Saleh (as) said to them: ‘You have asked me (as) for something which is great for me (as), and is easy for my (as) Lord (azwj) Majestic and Mighty’. Saleh (as) asked Allah (azwj) the High for that. The mountain split asunder with such a split that their intellects took flight when they heard that rumble of it. Then the mountain trembled with a great tremble like a woman trembling during labour. Then only its head came out of the crack in the mountain. When its neck showed, it began to chew its cud. Then the rest of its body came out, and it stood erect upon the ground. So when they all saw that, they said, ‘O Saleh (as), with what ease has your (as) Lord (azwj) Answered you (as). Call upon your (as) Lord (azwj) for us to bring out for us its young’. So he (as) asked Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic for that. She brought it (babies) out and walked around them. So he (as) said to them: ‘O people! Does there remain anything else?’ They said, ‘No. Come with us to our people. We shall inform them of what we have seen and they will believe in you (as)’. So they returned, but before the seventy of them could reach them, sixty four of them had reneged, and they were saying, This is sorcery and a lie’. This was reflected by all of them. So the remaining six were saying that it is the truth, whilst all the others were saying that it is a lie and sorcery. Then they all dispersed upon that, and one of the six then was overcome by doubt. So he was the one who slay it. Ibn Mahboub (the narrator) said, ‘I narrated this Hadeeth to a man from our companions called Saeed Bin Yazeed. He informed me that he had seen the mountain from which (the she-camel) came out, in Syria. He said, ‘I saw its sides where the mountain split up, and the impact of it on its sides and the other side of it, and in between it and this one was a distance of a mile’.

214. Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Al-Hassan Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said when it was said to him (asws) “[54:23] (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings [54:24] For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness [54:25] Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!”, he (asws) said: ‘This is what they belied Saleh (as) with, and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic does not Destroy a people at all until He (azwj) Sends to them, before that, the Messenger (as). They argued against them (the Messengers (as)), so Allah (azwj) Sent Saleh (as) to them. He (as) called them towards Allah (azwj). They did not respond and were insolent to him (as), and said, ‘We will not believe you (as) until you (as) bring out for us from this rock a tame she-camel. And it was a rock which they used to magnify and worship and make their sacrifices near to its peak every year, and they used to gather around it. They said, ‘If you (as) are as you are alleging to be, a Prophet (as), a Messenger (as), so call upon your (as) Lord (azwj) for us until He (azwj) Brings out for us from this solid rock a tame she-camel’. So Allah (azwj) Brought it out as they had sought from him (as). Then Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Revealed unto him (as): “O Saleh (as)! Tell them that Allah (azwj) has Made a share for this she-camel, from the water, that it would drink from it one day and you would drink from it the next day”. And the day which was designated for the she-camel to drink, it would drink the water during that day. They would then milk her, and there did not remain any young one or old one except that he drank from her milk in the day of theirs when it was the night time. And in the morning they would drink from the water, and the she-camel would not drink from it during that day. So that situation prevailed until such time as Allah (azwj) so Desired it to. Then they rebelled against Allah (azwj) and some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘Slay this she-camel, and be relaxed from it. We are not happy that there should be a day for us to drink and a day for it to drink’. Then they looked around for someone who could slay it, and made for him (a reward) of what he loved. So there came to them a red, blonde, blue-eyed man, of an adulterous birth, whose father was unknown, called Qudaar. A wretched one of all wretched ones of a sinister character, so they made up for him a reward for it. So when the she-camel went towards the water to drink from it, he left it until it had drunk the water. When it returned, he sat waiting for it upon its path. He struck her with the sword but it did not kill her. So he struck at it again and killed her and it fell down upon the earth on its side, and its young ones fled until they sat upon the mountain. They cried out three times towards the sky. And the people of Saleh (as) came over. So there did not remain anyone from them except that he participated in hitting it, and they distributed its meat in between themselves. There did not remain anyone from them, whether young or old except that he ate from it. So when Saleh (as) saw that, he (as) came up to them and said, ‘O People! What called you all to do what you have done and rebelled against your Lord (azwj)?’ So Allah (azwj) Blessed and High unto Saleh (as): “Your (as) people have been tyrannous and rebellious, and killed the she-camel that was Sent to them as a Proof to them, and there was no harm in it for them, and there were great benefits from it for them. So tell them that I (azwj) will be Sending upon you all My (azwj) Punishment after three days. So they were to repent and return (from their ways), I (azwj) shall Accept their repentance and Prevent it from them, and if they do not repent and do not return (from their ways), I (azwj) will Send to them My (azwj) Punishment on the third day”. So Saleh (as) came and said to them: ‘O people! I (as) am a Messenger (as) of your Lord (azwj). He (azwj) is Saying to you all that if you were to repent and return (from your ways) and seek Forgiveness, He (azwj) would Forgive you all and Turn towards you (Mercifully)’. So when he (as) said that to them they became more rebellious and treacherous than what they had been and said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Let it come to us, what you (as) are calling for us, if you (as) are from the Messengers (as), the truthful ones’. He (as) said: ‘O people! When you wake up tomorrow morning your faces would be yellow, and on the second day your faces would be red, and on the third day your faces would be black’. So when it was the morning of the first day and their faces turned yellow, some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘There has come upon you what Saleh (as) had spoken of’. So the rebellious ones among them said, ‘We will not listen to the words of Saleh (as) and will not accept his (as) words, even though they may be great’. So when it was the morning of the second day and their faces turned red, some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘O people! There has come upon you what Saleh (as) had spoken about for you all’. So the rebellious ones among them said, ‘Even if we were all to be destroyed, we will not listen to the words of Saleh (as) nor will we leave our gods which our forefathers had been worshipping, nor will we repent, nor will we return (from our ways)’. So when it was the morning of the third day and their faces turned black. So some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘O people! There has come upon you what Saleh (as) had spoken of for you all’. So the rebellious ones from among them said, ‘Let it come upon us what Saleh (as) had said to us’. So when it was the middle of the night, Jibraeel (as) came upon them and screamed out a loud scream at them which broke their eardrums, and split their hearts, and ruptured their livers. And during those three days they had been applying camphor upon themselves, and shrouding themselves, and they knew that the Punishment would be descending upon them. So all of them died in the blink of an eye, their young ones as well as their old ones. There did not remain for them a she-camel, or a sheep, or anything except that Allah (azwj) Destroyed it. They had all died in their homes and on their beds. Then Allah (azwj) Sent upon them Fire along with the Scream from the sky. So it burnt all of them, and this was their story’.

Then gently rub its sides, then pour over it dates and vinegar, and it would be intensely bitter. Then place it upon the fire and boil it intensely. Then take from it all that can be carried by his finger, rub it in his mouth, and gargle with the vinegar. If he likes he can transfer what is in the colocynth into a bottle or bowl. And when all that becomes less, he can refill it with vinegar, and he would be free from all that, Allah (azwj) Willing’.

Then he (a.s.) said; ‘You are studying something, a lot of which you are unaware of, and a small amount of it is not beneficial. You are calculating the rise of the Moon’. Then he (a.s.) said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between Jupiter and Venus?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj)’. He (a.s.) said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between the Venus and the Moon?’ I said, ‘No’. He (a.s.) said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between the Sun and the Virgo?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj), I have not heard from any one from the astrologers at all’. He (a.s.) said: ‘What is in between each one of these at its counterpart are sixty or seventy minutes’. Abdul Rahmaan expressed his doubt. Then he (a.s.) said: ‘O Abdul Rahmaan, this is a calculation, which if the man calculates, he would come to know the reed in the middle of the bush, and the number (of reeds) which are on the right of it and the number (of reeds) which are on the left of it, and the number (of reeds) which are behind it, and the number (of reeds) which are in front of it, to the extent that there would not remain hidden from him a single reed from the bush’.

234. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, who said, ‘we have been informed by Al-Nazar bin Qarwaash Al-Jammaal who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the camels who have scabies whether I should keep my camel away from these fearing it might get infected by the scabies, and the animals might have got it until it drank the water’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘A Bedouin came up to the Rasool Allah (saww). He said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), I come across injured sheep, cows, and the camels sold at a cheap price, but they have scabies. I dislike buying these fearing that they may infect my camels and my sheep with that scabies’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘O Bedouin! So who infected the first (infected) one?’ Then the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘There is neither infection, nor bad omen, nor ghost, nor bad luck, nor ‘Safra’, nor breastfeeding after weaning, nor being a Bedouin after Migration (Hijra), nor Fasting of silence for a day to the night, nor divorce before the marriage, nor emancipation before slavery, nor being an orphan after achieving adulthood’.

237. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed and someone else, from some of them, who have narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws), and some of them from Abu Ja’far (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[2:243] Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die; again He gave them life”. These were city folk from the cities of Syria, and there were seventy thousand households and plague used to occur among them every time. So whenever they sensed it, the rich ones would exit the city due to their (financial) strength and the poor would remain due to their (financial) weakness. So the death occurred mostly among those who would remain and less among those who went out. So those who left said, ‘Had we been of those who remained, death would frequent among us’. And those who remained said, ‘Had we been of those who went out, death would be less among us’. He (asws) said: ‘So they formed a consensus of their opinions that whenever they sense the plague occurring among them, all of them would go out from the city. So when they sensed the plague affecting them, all of them went out and took precaution against the death. So they travelled in the countryside for as long as Allah (azwj) so Desired. Then they passed by a city which was in ruins and its inhabitants had all left, being destroyed by the plague. So they encamped there, and settled their belongings being reassured by it. Allah (azwj) Said to them: “All of you die!” They all died at that instant and became decayed. The passers-by passed by and collected their ashes and gathered them in one place. So a Prophet (as) from the Prophets (as) of the Children of Israel passed by them, whose (as) name was Hizkeel (as). So when he (as) saw those bones, he (as) wept and reflected upon it and said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! If You (azwj) so Wish, You (azwj) can Revive them instantly, just as You (azwj) Caused them to die, so they would then inhabit Your (azwj) Country, and bear Your (azwj) servants who would worship You (azwj) along with those from Your (azwj) creatures who worship You (azwj)’. So Allah (azwj) the High Revealed unto him (as): “Is that what you (as) would like to happen?’ He (as) said: ‘Yes, O Lord (azwj)! Revive them”. So Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him (as); “Say such and such”. So he (as) said that which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic had Commanded him (as) to say’. Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘And it was the Great Name (Al-Ism Al-Aazam). So when Hizkeel (as) said that Word, he (as) saw the bones flying towards each other. So they came back alive. Some of them looked at the others Glorifying Allah (azwj) and Exclaiming His (azwj) Greatness and Extolling His (azwj) Holiness. So Hizkeel (as) said during that: ‘I (as) hereby testify that Allah (azwj) has Power over all things’. Umar Bin Yazeed (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding them’.

238. Ibn Mahboub, from hanaan Bin Sudeyr, who has said: I said to Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘Inform me about the words of Yaqoub (as) to his (as) sons: “[12:87] O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother”, Did he (as) know that he (as) was alive, and there was a separation of twenty years between them?’ He (asws) said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘How did he (as) know?’ He (asws) said: ‘He (as) supplicated before dawn and asked Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic that he (azwj) should Send down to him (as) the Angel of Death. So Biryaal descended unto him (as), and he is the Angel of Death. So Biryaal said to him (as): ‘What is your (as) need, O Yaqoub (as)?’ He (as) said: ‘Inform me about the souls. Do you capture them altogether or separately?’ He said, ‘But, I capture them separately, soul by soul’. He (as) said to him: ‘So inform me, Did you come across the soul of Yusuf (as) in what you have passed by?’ He said: ‘No’. Thus Yaqoub (as) came to know that he (as) was alive. So, due to that he (as) said “[12:87] O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother”.

He (asws) said: ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj), they had denied him (saww) with an intense denial, but it was hidden. (The meaning of) “but surely they do not call you a liar” is that ‘they would not be able to come up with the refutation in order to belie your (saww) truth’’.

He (asws) said: ‘It was Revealed regarding Ibn Abu Sarh who was the office bearer of Usman over Egypt, and he was from the ones who were with the Rasool Allah (saww) on the Day of the conquest over Mecca whose blood was spared. And he used to write to the Rasool Allah (saww). So if Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed that: “Surely Allah (azwj) is Most Mighty, Most Wise”. He would write, ‘Surely Allah (azwj) is Most Aware, Most Wise’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘Leave it, although Allah (azwj) is surely Most Aware, Most Wise’. So Ibn Abu Sarh used to say to the hypocrites, ‘I am saying from myself similar to what he (saww) has come up with, so he (saww) does not let me alter it’. So Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Revealed regarding him what He (azwj) Revealed’.

The Rasool Allah (saww) allowed them (the non-Muslims) for his (saww) need and the needs of his (saww) companions. Had there come the case of its implementation, he (saww) would not have accepted from them, but they would not spare their lives until they would have accepted the Oneness of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic and until they would not have remained any Polytheism (Shirk)’.

And he (asws) said that: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) prohibited the killing of anyone from the Clan of Hashim (as) and Abu Al-Bakhtary on the Day of Badr. So they were made captives. The Rasool Allah (saww) sent for Ali (asws) and said: ‘Go and see over there, who are the ones from the Clan of Hashim (as)’. So Ali (asws) passed by Aqeel son of Abu Talib (as), may Allah (azwj) Honour his (as) face. He (asws) turned away from him. So Aqeel said to him (asws), ‘O son (asws) of my mother (as) Ali (asws)! But, by Allah (azwj), you (asws) can see my situation’. He (asws) returned to the Rasool Allah (saww) and said: ‘This is Abu Al-Fazl in the hand of so and so, and this is Aqeel in the hand of so and so, and this is Naufal Bin Al-Haris in the hand of so and so’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) stood up and came up to Aqeel and said to him: ‘O Abu Yazeed, Abu Jahl has been killed’. He said, ‘Then you (saww) will not be disputing about Tahaamat’. He (saww) said: ‘If you are strong people, otherwise tie up their hands’. They came up with Al-Abbas, so he (saww) said: ‘Ransom yourself and ransom the son of your brother’. He said, ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Let me go and ask the Qureish for ransoming me’. He (saww) said: ‘Give from what you have left behind with Umm Al-Fazl and said to her that, ‘If this I face this difficulty, so spend upon your children and on yourself’. So he said to him (saww): ‘O son (saww) of my brother (as), who informed you (saww) of this?’ He (saww) said: ‘Jibraeel (as) came with it to me (saww) from the Presence of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic’. So he said, ‘And I had held her on oath that no one would know of this except for myself and her. I hereby testify that you (saww) are the Rasool Allah (saww)’. He (asws) said; ‘All the captives returned as Polytheists except for Al-Abbas, and Aqeel, and Naufal, may Allah (azwj) Honour their faces, and it was regarding them that this Verse was Revealed: “[8:70] O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you” up to the end of the Verse’.

And when distress afflicted him, meaning illness, he would call upon his Lord (azwj), turning to Him (azwj) frequently, meaning penitently to Him (azwj), from what he used to say with regards to the Rasool Allah (saww). “then when He makes him possess a favour from Him,” meaning the restoration of health, “he forgets that for which he called upon Him before,” meaning his asking for Forgiveness to Allah (azwj) from what he used to say regarding the Rasool Allah (saww) that he (saww) was a sorcerer, and that is the Statement of Allah (azwj) mighty and Majestic “Say: Enjoy yourself in your ungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates of the fire”, meaning your influence which you have over the people with any right from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic or from His (azwj) Messenger (saww)’. He (the narrator) said: ‘Then Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Then Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Spoke Sympathetically with regards to Ali (asws) Informing him (asws) of his (asws) situation, and his (asws) merits in the Presence of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High. So He (azwj) Said: “[39:9] What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know that Muhammad is the Rasool Allah (saww), and those who do not know (saying) that Muhammad (saww) is a lying sorcerer alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful”.

250. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shammoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahmaan Al-A’asam, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim Al-Batl, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement: “[17:4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice”, he (asws) said: ‘The killing of Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws) and the stabbing of Al-Hassan (asws)’. “and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence”, he (asws) said (this refers to): ‘The killing of Al-Husayn (asws)’. “[17:5] So when the promise for the first of the two came, So when the help comes for the blood of Al-Husayn (asws), We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they go to and fro among the houses, a people whom Allah (azwj) will be Sending before the coming out of Al-Qaim (ajfj) (who will serve him (ajfj) and under his (ajfj) command) they will not leave an enemy of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww) except that they will kill him. and it was a promise to be accomplished” This is the coming of Al-Qaim (asws). “[17:6] Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, This is the coming of Al-Husayn (asws) and seventy of his (asws) companions who will be wearing protective helmets. For each of the helmets would be two facets to demonstrate to the people that this is indeed Al-Husayn (asws) who has come out, until the Believers would have no doubts about it, and that he (asws) is neither Al-Dajjaal (la), nor Satan (la), and Al-Hujjat Al-Qaim (asws) would also come in their support. So when the recognition would be settled in the hearts of the Believers that he (asws) is indeed Al-Husayn (asws), the death will approach Al-Hujjat (asws). So the one (asws) who would be washing him (asws), and shrouding him (asws), and embalming him (asws), and burying him (asws) in his (asws) grave would be Al-Husayn Bin Ali (asws), no one follows the successor (asws) except for the successor (asws)’.

251. Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Hafs Al-Tamimi who said: Abu Ja’far Al-Khath'ami narrated to me saying: ‘When Uthman exiled Abu Dharr to Al-Rabadha, Amir-ul-Mu'minin (a.s.), and Aqil (as), and al-Hasan (asws), and Al-Husayn (asws), and Ammar Bin Yasser bid farewell to him. So when they were inside the valley, Amir-ul-Mu'minin (asws) said; ‘O Abu Dharr! You were angry for the Sake of Allah, so have hope from His Anger. The people feared you for their world whilst you feared upon your Religion, so they exiled you from (that which is) doomed and tested you by the affliction. And, by Allah, if the skies and the earth are (forced) to closed-up on a servant, then Allah would (surely) Open up a way out for him. Let nothing comfort you except for the truth, and let nothing scare you except for the falsehood’. Then Aqil spoke saying, ‘O Abu Dharr! You know that we love you, and we know that you love us, and you have preserved with regards to us what the people have wasted except for a few. So your Reward is upon Allah, and it is for that that they have thrown you out as the castaway and made you travel in the exile. So your Reward is upon Allah Mighty and Majestic. So fear Allah and know that you should resign to the affliction from the anxiety and your deterioration of the health from the despair. So leave the resignation and the despair and say, ‘Allah is Sufficient for me and the best advocate’. Then Al-Hasan spoke saying: ‘O uncle! The people have meted out to you what you have seen, and Allah is Watching from High above. So leave the memories of the world by remembrance of its separation and the difficulties, by what will be coming to you of the ease after it, and be patient until you meet your Prophet (saww), and he will be pleased with you, Allah Willing’. Then Al-Husayn (asws) spoke saying: ‘O uncle! Allah Blessed and High has the Power to Change what you see, and every day He is in (a State of) Glory. The people have denied you their world, and you have denied them your Religion. So what is your need from what they have denied you, and they are in greatest need for what you have denied them. So it is for you to observe patience, for the goodness is in the patience, and the patience is from the generosity. And leave the anxiety, for the anxiety provides no refuge’. Then Ammar spoke saying, ‘O Abu Dharr! May Allah Make lonely the one who made you to be lonely, and Frighten the one who (tried to) frightened you. By Allah! Nothing prevents the people from speaking the truth except their reliance upon the world and the love for it. But rather, the obedience is with the group and the kingdom is for the one who overcomes it, and this group of people have called the people to their world, so they responded to them for it and bestowed their Religion upon them. Thus, they incurred the loss of the world and the Hereafter, and that is what is the clear loss’. Then Abu Dharr spoke saying, ‘Peace be upon you all, and the Mercy of Allah and His Blessings! May my father and my mother (be sacrificed for you all). These are the faces, when I see them, I remember the Messenger of Allah (saww). And what is there for me in Al-Medina to dwell in apart from you. And it became heavy upon Uthman to let me (live) in the neighborhood of Al-Medina just as it became heavy upon Mu'awiya in Syria. He (Uthman) decided that he would exile me to a town, so I said it should be Al-Kufa. So he feared that I would spoil the relationship of his brother with the people in Al-Kufa. By Allah He is sending me to a place in which I will neither see any human being nor hear a humming sound. By Allah! I do not want anyone except Allah as a companion, and what is the loneliness for me when Allah is with me. Allah is Sufficient for me. There is no god except for Him. Upon Him do I rely and He is the Lord of the Magnificent Throne, and greetings of Allah be upon our Chief Muhammad (saww) and his purified Progeny.'"

I said, ‘O commander of the faithful! As for this Hadith, I have not heard similar to it at all’. He said to me, ‘O Saif! If it was like, so we would be the first ones to respond to it.

You are the Shites of Allah (azwj), and you are the Helpers of Allah (azwj), and you are the foremost of the former ones, and the foremost of the later ones, and the foremost in the world, and the foremost in the Hereafter (and) to the Paradise. We (asws) have taken your responsibility for the Paradise on the Guarantee of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and the guarantee of the Rasool Allah (saww). By Allah (azwj)! There are no Levels of the Paradise where there are more Spirits than yours, so compete for the higher Levels. You are the good ones and your women are the good ones. Every Believing woman is a virgin Hourie and every Believer is a Truthful one. And Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) has said to Qanbar: ‘Receive good news, rejoice with the good news, and convey the good news, for, by Allah (azwj), the Rasool Allah (saww) passed away while he (saww) was angry with his (saww) community except for the Shites’. Indeed! For everything there is an honour and the honour of Al-Islam are the Shites. Indeed! For everything there is a pillar and the pillar of Al-Islam are the Shites. Indeed! For everything there is a chief and the chief of the gatherings is the gathering of the Shites. Indeed! For every thing is an Imam, and the Imam of the earth is the land on which the Shites live. By Allah (azwj)! Had you all not been in the earth, an eye would have never ever see herbs. By Allah (azwj)! Had you all not been in the earth, Allah (azwj) would not have Favoured the people who oppose you nor would they have been in any goodness. They would have nothing for them in the world nor any share for them in the Hereafter. Every hostile one (Nasibi), if he were to worship, and struggle, would be attributed to this Verse: “[88:3] Toiling, Hostile one [88:4] Entering into burning fire”. So every Hostile One (Nasibi) who struggles, his deeds would be wasted. Our (asws) Shites speak with the ‘بِنُورِ’ Light of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and the one who are opposed to them speak by instinct (biological needs). By Allah (azwj)! There is none from our (asws) Shites who sleeps, except that Allah (azwj) Makes his soul to ascend to the sky to be Blessed. So if its term (death) has come, He (azwj) Makes it to be within the Treasures of His (azwj) Mercy, and in the Gardens of Paradise, and in the Shade of His (azwj) Throne. And if its term (death) has been delayed, He (azwj) sends it back along with the trusted Angels to return it to the body from which it came out to dwell in it. By Allah (azwj) those of you who perform the Hajj and the Umrah are the special ones of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. And the poor ones among you are the rich ones, and your rich ones are the contented ones. And all of you are the people whom He (azwj) Invited and the people who accepted His (azwj) Call’.

260. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shammoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdu Rahmaan, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim, from Amro Bin Abu Al-Maqdaam, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Indeed! And for everything is an essence and the essence of the children of Adam (as) is Muhammad (saww), and us (asws), and our (asws) Shites after us (asws). How lovely are our (asws) Shites! What will be closer to the Throne of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic than them on the Day of Judgement. By Allah (azwj)! Had the people not magnified that, or pride entered into them, the Angels would have greeted them already. By Allah (azwj)! There is no servant from our (asws) Shites who recites the Quran whilst standing in his Prayer, except that there are a hundred Rewards for him for every letter of it, nor does he recite it seated in his Prayer, except that there are a fifty Rewards for him for every letter of it, nor in other than Prayers, except that there are ten Rewards for him for every letter of it. And the one from our (asws) Shites who is silent, there is the Reward for him of the recitation of the Quran by the one who is opposed to him. By Allah (azwj)! You sleep upon your beds and there is the Reward for you of the Holy Warriors (Al-Mujahideen). By Allah (azwj)! You are in your Prayers, and there is for you the Reward of the being in the rows of His (azwj) Way. By Allah (azwj)! You are the ones for whom Allah (azwj) has Said: “[15:47] And We will root out whatever of rancour is in their breasts (they shall be) as brethren, on raised couches, face to face”. But rather, our (asws) Shites are the people with four eyes – two eyes in the head and two eyes in the heart. Indeed! And all of the creatures are like that, except that Allah (azwj) has Opened your eyes, and Blinded their eyes’.

261. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Anbasa Bin Mus’ab who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘I complain to Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic of my loneliness, and restlessness among the people of Al-Medina, until you (Shi'ites) come over and I see you, and be comforted by you. If only this tyrant would allow me, so I would take a fort in Al-Ta'if, so I would dwell in it and you would all dwell in it with me. I would guarantee to him that there would not come from our area any harm to him ever’.

So she came and sat behind the curtain. Then he (asws) said: ‘Recite a poem (Nasheed) to us’. So I said, ‘Let Farwa be generous in the flow of her tears’. So she wailed and the women wailed’. Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The door! The door! The people of Al-Medina were gathered at the door. So Abu Abdullah (asws) sent a message to them: ‘One of our young ones fainted, hence the women wailed’.

So the Rasool Allah (saww) took a pickaxe from the hand of Amir-ul-Momineen (asws), or from the hand of Salman (ra). He (saww) struck by it at the rock and it split into three pieces. The Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘With this strike the treasures of Chosroe and Caesar have opened up for me (saww). So one of them (Abu Bakr or Umar) said to his companion, ‘He (saww) promises us with the treasures of Chosroe and Caesar whilst no one of us has the control to go out for the toilet’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Yahya Al-Wasity, from one of our companions, who have narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has a Wind which is called ‘Al-Azeyb). If He (azwj) Sends from it the measurement (which comes out of) the nostril of a bull, it would raise what is in between the sky and the earth, and this is (known as) the South (Wind)’.

Our towns have drought and it has prevailed for years upon us. So supplicate to Allah (azwj) Blessed and High to Send the sky (to rain) upon us’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) ordered for the Pulpit. They brought it out, and the people gathered. The Rasool Allah (saww) ascended and supplicated, and ordered the people to say ‘Ameen’. It was not long before Jibraeel descended and said; ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Inform the people that your (saww) Lord (azwj) has Promised to them that He (azwj) would Make it rain on such and such a day, and at such and such a time’. So the people did not cease to look out for that day and that particular time, until that time came up. Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Excited a wind, so it raised clouds which covered the sky, and released the rain. So those individuals came with their rich ones to the Prophet (saww). They said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), Supplicate to Allah (azwj) for us to withhold the sky (stop the rain) from us, for we are about to drown. So the people gathered, and the Prophet (saww) supplicated, and ordered the people that they should say ‘Ameen’ upon his (saww) supplication. A man from the people said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), make us hear it, for all what you (saww) are saying, we cannot hear’. So he (saww) said; ‘Say, ‘Our Allah (azwj)! Around us and not upon us. Our Allah (azwj)! Let it pour in the middle of the valleys, and in the growth of the trees, and where the shepherds pasture. Our Allah (azwj)! Make it to be a Mercy, and do not Make it to be a Punishment’.

So if Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Intends to Send a wind which stirs them, and Allocates Angels to these who strike it by ‘Al-makhareeq’, and it is the lightning. So they rise up’. Then he (asws) recited this verse: “[35:9] And Allah is He Who sends the winds so they raise a cloud, then We drive it on to a dead country, and therewith We give life to the earth after its death”, the Verse. And the Angel, its name is ‘Al-Ra’ad’ (The Thunder)’.

The she-camel of the Rasool Allah (saww) got lost, so the people said regarding it, ‘He (saww) informs us about the sky and he (saww) cannot inform us about his (saww) she-camel’. Jibraeel descended and said: ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Your (saww) she-camel is in such and such a valley. Its bridle has been entangled with such and such a tree’. He (asws) said: ‘So he (saww) ascended the Pulpit. He (saww) Praised Allah (azwj) and Extolled Him (azwj) and said: ‘O you people! You spoke a great deal to me (saww) regarding my (saww) she-camel. Indeed! And what Allah (azwj) has Given me (saww) is better than what was taken from me (saww). Indeed! My (saww) she-camel is in such a such a valley. Its bridle has been entangled with such and such a tree’. So the people rushed towards it and found her as the Rasool Allah (saww) had said’.

And Allah (azwj) Revealed: “[97:1] We have indeed revealed this (Message) in the Night of Power [97:2] And what will explain to thee what the night of power is? [97:3] The Night of Power is better than a thousand months”. So Allah (azwj) Made the Night of Power for His (azwj) Messenger (saww) to be better than a thousand months (of the Clan of Umayya)’.

If you (asws) could look into this affair of theirs’. So he (asws) said: ‘I am thinking of writing a document so that no two of them would differ’. I said, ‘We have never been more needy of it than we are today’. Then he (asws) said: ‘This (will not settle the matter between) Marwaan and Ibn Dharr’. I thought that he (asws) had prevented me from that. I stood up from his (asws) presence, so I came up to Ismail. I said, ‘O Abu Muhammad! I mentioned to your father (asws) the differing of his (asws) Shites and their hatred (towards each other). So he (asws) said: ‘I (asws) am thinking of writing a book so that no two of them would differ’. He said, ‘What Marwaan and Ibn Dharr have said?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He said, ‘O Abdul A’ala! You all have rights over us as we have rights over you all. By Allah (azwj), you are not quicker to us for the rights than we are to you’. Then he said, ‘I will look into it’. Then said: ‘O Abdul A’ala! What is wrong with a people if their matter was one that they would turn their attention to one man (asws), taking (instructions) from him (asws) and not oppose him (asws), and assign their matters to him (asws)?’ O Abdul A’ala! It is not befitting for the Believer that if his brother has preceded him to a Level from the Levels of the Paradise that he should pull him back from his place, which he is in. And it does not befit this other one who has not reached (to his level) that he should push back his chest, but he should hold his hand and make him join him, and seek Forgiveness from Allah (azwj)’.
