1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Kufi from ‘Ubays ibn Hisham from al-Husayn ibn Ahmad al-Minqari from Yunus ibn Zabyan from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “In you there is a light by which you are identified in this world.

80. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Tha’albat Bin Maymoun, from Aby Amiyya Yusuf Bin Sabit Bin Abu Saeeda, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said when they came up to him and said, ‘But rather, we love you (asws) due to your (asws) nearness to the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj), and for what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Obligated from your (asws) rights. We do not love you (asws) for the sake of the world for getting a share of it from you (asws). But (we love you (asws)) only for the Sake of Allah (azwj) and the House of the Hereafter and that the man from among us would be able to correct his Religion’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘You have spoken the truth, you have spoken the truth’. Then he (asws) said: ‘The one who loves us (asws) is as if he is with us (asws), or will come with us (asws) on the Day of Judgement like this’ – then he (asws) joined the two forefingers, then said – ‘By Allah (azwj)! If the man were to Fast during the day, and stand up (for Prayer) during the night, then meets Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic without our (asws) Wilayah, (the People (asws) of the Household) he then would be facing Him (azwj) (in such that) Allah (azwj) would either be Unhappy with him or Angry against him’. Then he (asws) said: ‘And that is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[9:54] The only reasons why their contributions are not accepted are: that they reject Allah and His Rasool; that they come to prayer without earnestness; and that they offer contributions unwillingly [9:55] Let not then their property and their children excite your admiration; Allah only wishes to chastise them with these in this world’s life and (that) their souls may depart while they are unbelievers” Then he (asws) said: ‘And such is that belief that the (bad) deed neither had affected it adversely nor is that disbelief that the (good) deed had provided any profit to it’. Then he (asws) said; ‘You should become (believers in) Oneness (of Allah (azwj)) for the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) had called the people to the Oneness (of Allah (azwj)) but they did not answer him (saww), and the first one who had came forward to him (saww) was Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws), and the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said: ‘You (asws) are from me (saww) of the status which Haroun (as) had from Musa (as) except that there is no Prophet (as) after me (saww)’.

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hajjal from Yunus ibn Ya’qub who has said the following: “Once I went to see Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) and I asked, ‘Can I kiss your hand, please?’ The Imam agreed and I kissed his hand. I then asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, can I kiss your head, please?’ The Imam agreed and I kissed his head. Then I asked, ‘Can I kiss your feet, please?’ The Imam said, ‘You had vowed, you had vowed, you had vowed, three and one remains, one remains, and one remains.” (The Imam perhaps indicated that the narrator, in fact, had vowed to kiss the Imam’s (a) hand, (b) head and (c) feet).”’
[3]« أقسمت» يمكن أن يكون على صيغة المتكلم و يكون إخبارا، أي حلفت أن لا أعطى رجلى أحدا يقبلها اما لعدم جوازه أو لعدم رجحانه أو للتقية و قوله:« بقى شيء» استفهام على الانكار، أي هل بقى احتمال الرخصة و التجويز بعد القسم. و يمكن أن يكون إنشاء للقسم و مناشدة أى اقسم عليك أن تترك ذلك للوجوه المذكورة و هل بقى بعد مناشدتى إياك من طلبك التقبيل شيء او لم يبق بعد تقبيل اليد و الرأس شيء تطلبه، و يحتمل أن يكون المراد بقوله:« بقى شيء» التعريض بيونس و أمثاله أي بقى شيء آخر سوى هذه التواضعات الرسمية و التعظيمات الظاهرية و هو السعى في تصحيح العقائد القلبية و متابعتنا في جميع اعمالنا و أقوالنا و هي أهم من هذا الذي تهتم به لانه عليه السلام كان يعلم انه سيضل و يصير فطحيا( آت- ملخصا).ص 185
