Sacred objects of the Prophets transferred to the Imams (a.s.)

كَانَتْ عَصَا مُوسَى لآِدَمَ ع فَصَارَتْ إِلَى شُعَيْبٍ ثُمَّ صَارَتْ إِلَى مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ وَ إِنَّهَا لَعِنْدَنَا وَ إِنَّ عَهْدِي بِهَا آنِفاً وَ هِيَ خَضْرَاءُ كَهَيْئَتِهَا حِينَ انْتُزِعَتْ مِنْ شَجَرَتِهَا وَ إِنَّهَا لَتَنْطِقُ إِذَا اسْتُنْطِقَتْ أُعِدَّتْ لِقَائِمِنَا ع يَصْنَعُ بِهَا مَا كَانَ يَصْنَعُ مُوسَى وَ إِنَّهَا لَتَرُوعُ وَ تَلْقَفُ‌ ما يَأْفِكُونَ‌[1]* وَ تَصْنَعُ مَا تُؤْمَرُ بِهِ إِنَّهَ

The staff of Moses belonged to Adam. It was passed to Shu‘ayb then to Moses ibn ‘Imran. Now it is with us. I have just, moments before, seen it. It is green just as being picked from its tree. It speaks if it is induced to do so. It is prepared for the one who will rise to establish the kingdom of Allah on earth. He wi

سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‌ أَلْوَاحُ مُوسَى ع عِنْدَنَا وَ عَصَا مُوسَى عِنْدَنَا وَ نَحْنُ وَرَثَةُ النَّبِيِّينَ.

The Tablets of Moses are with us. The Staff of Moses is with us. We are the heirs of the prophets (a.s.).”

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‌ إِنَّ الْقَائِمَ إِذَا قَامَ بِمَكَّةَ- وَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ نَادَى مُنَادِيهِ أَلَا لَا يَحْمِلْ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ طَعَاماً وَ لَا شَرَاباً وَ يَحْمِلُ حَجَرَ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ وَ هُوَ وِقْرُ بَعِيرٍ فَلَا يَنْزِلُ مَنْزِلًا إِلَّا انْبَعَثَ عَيْنٌ مِنْهُ فَمَنْ كَانَ جَائِعاً شَبِعَ وَ مَنْ كَانَ ظَامِئاً رَوِيَ فَهُوَ زَادُهُمْ حَتَّى يَنْزِلُوا النَّجَفَ مِنْ ظَهْ

“When al-Qa’im (the one who will rise to establish the kingdom of Allah on earth) will rise in Makka and about to leave for Kufa a caller will up on him, “No one of you carry any food and water with you. No one carry the rock of Moses ibn ‘Imran. It a full load for a camel. Wherever you will disembark there will be a w

خَرَجَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ بَعْدَ عَتَمَةٍ[3] وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ هَمْهَمَةً هَمْهَمَةً وَ لَيْلَةً مُظْلِمَةً خَرَجَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْإِمَامُ عَلَيْهِ قَمِيصُ‌ آدَمَ وَ فِي يَدِهِ خَاتَمُ سُلَيْمَانَ وَ عَصَا مُوسَى ع.

“Amir al-Mu’mini (a.s.) once came out during the night after the ‘Isha’ prayer saying, ‘Ham hama, ham hama it is a dark night. The Imam (a.s.) has come out to you and he is wearing the shirt of Adam (a.s.) and he is wearing the ring of Solomon (a.s.) and holding the staff of Moses (a.s.).”

“Do you know what was the shirt of Joseph?” I said, “I do not know.” The Imam (a.s.) said, “When the fire was set for Abraham, Jibril brought him a dress from paradise and made him wear it. With that dress on him, nothing of the cold or heat would harm him. When Abraham was about to die, he placed it in a covering and
