سَأَلَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‌[2] فَقَالَ مَا دَعَاكُمْ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَضَعْتُمْ فِيهِ زَيْداً قَالَ قُلْتُ‌ خِصَالٌ ثَلَاثٌ أَمَّا إِحْدَاهُنَّ فَقِلَّةُ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ مَعَنَا[1] إِنَّمَا كُنَّا ثَمَانِيَةَ نَفَرٍ وَ أَمَّا الْأُخْرَى فَالَّذِي تَخَوَّفْنَا مِنَ الصُّبْحِ أَنْ يَفْضَحَنَا وَ أَمَّا الثَّالِثَةُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ مَضْجَعَهُ الَّذِي كَانَ سَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ‌[2] فَقَالَ كَمْ إِلَى الْفُرَاتِ

Abu Abdullah (asws) questioned me: ‘What was the place in which you placed (the body of) Zayd?’ I said, ‘There were three issues. As for one of them, so there were very few of us who were left behind with us, but rather, we were eight persons. As for the other one, so we were afraid from the morning, which would have e

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَعْفَى نَبِيَّكُمْ‌[2] أَنْ يَلْقَى مِنْ أُمَّتِهِ مَا لَقِيَتِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ أُمَمِهَا وَ جَعَلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا.

‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Exempted your Prophet (saww) from facing from his (saww) community what the Prophets (as) faced from their communities, and Made that for us (asws)’.

The people disputed in the presence of Abu Ja’far (asws). So some of them said, ‘The wars fought by Ali (asws) were (against a people) more evil than the wars fought by the Rasool Allah (saww), and some of them said, ‘The wars fought by the Rasool Allah (saww) were (against a people) more evil than the wars fought by A

Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[21:84] and We gave him his household (that he had lost) and the like thereof along with them”. I said, ‘His (Prophet Ayub (as)) children, how was he (as) given the like of them, with them?’ He (asws) said: ‘He (azwj) Revived for him (as)

Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[10:27] as if their faces had been covered with slices of the dense darkness of night”, he (asws) said: ‘But, have you seen the house when it is the night, so it would be darker inside than the outside of it. So, like that, their darkness

356. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moala Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa, from Abaan Bin Usman, from Al-haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said: I heard Abdul Malik Bin Ayn ask Abu Abdullah (asws) and he did not stop asking until he said, ‘So the people are destroyed’. He (asws) said: ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj)! O Ibn Ayn, all the people

‘A servant does not become deserving of the true belief until the death becomes more beloved to him than the life, and the illness becomes more beloved to him than the health, and the poverty becomes more beloved to him than the richness. So are you all like this?’ So we said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj)! May Allah (azwj) Mak

Abu Abdullah (asws) said that his (asws) father (asws) said: ‘O my (asws) son (asws)! If you (asws) oppose me (asws) in the deeds, you (asws) will not be descending with me (asws) tomorrow in the Dwelling (Hereafter)’. Then added: ‘Allah (azwj) has Refused to make friendship between those who oppose each other in their

‘There is no one from this community who has made a Religion for himself with the Religion of Ibrahim (as) except for us (asws), and our (asws) Shites. And there is none who is upon the guidance who has been guided from this community except by us (asws), nor has he strayed, the one who has strayed from this community,

كُنْتُ عِنْدَهُ وَ سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ عَنْ رَجُلٍ يَجِي‌ءُ مِنْهُ الشَّيْ‌ءُ عَلَى حَدِّ الْغَضَبِ يُؤَاخِذُهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْرَمُ مِنْ أَنْ يَسْتَغْلِقَ عَبْدَهُ‌[1] وَ فِي نُسْخَةِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ع يَسْتَقْلِقَ عَبْدَهُ‌[2].

Abu Abdullah (asws) said, ‘I was in his (asws) presence and a man asked him (asws) about a man from whom something comes out due to his anger, will Allah (azwj) Hold him responsible for it?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) is more benevolent than Tying down His (azwj) servant’. And in a copy from Abu Al-Hassan The Fir

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‌ إِنَّ لَكُمْ فِي حَيَاتِي خَيْراً وَ فِي مَمَاتِي خَيْراً قَالَ فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمَّا حَيَاتَكَ فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا فَمَا لَنَا فِي وَفَاتِكَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا فِي حَيَاتِي فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَالَ- وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ‌[3] وَ أَمَّا فِي مَمَاتِي فَتُعْرَضُ عَلَيَّ أَعْمَالُكُمْ فَأَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ.

Abu Abdullah (asws) says that the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘There is goodness for you in my (saww) being alive and goodness for you in my (saww) passing away’. So they said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww)! As for your (saww) being alive, so we have known that. So what is (goodness) for us in your (saww) passing away?’ He (saw

‘Whosoever (other than us (asws)) claims to have the Command (Wilayah), he has lied to the extent that the Satan (la) would be needy of his lie’.

The first time I recognised Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) was when I saw a man enter from the Door of ‘Al-Feel’. He (asws) Prayed four cycles. So I followed him (asws) until he (asws) came to the well of Al-Zakat, and it was in the house of Salih Bin Ali, and there were two she-camels with whom was a black slave. So

I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[17:33] and whoever is slain unjustly, We have indeed given to his heir authority, so let him not exceed the just limits in slaying”. He (asws) said: ‘It was Revealed regarding Al-Husayn (asws). Even if all the people of the earth wer

Abu Abdullah (asws) has said that: ‘The whale which is carrying the earth secretly said to itself that it is carrying the earth by its own strength. So Allah (azwj) the High Sent to it a fish smaller than a palm’s length, and larger than a finger. So it entered in its gills and shocked it. It remained like that for for

‘Calm down! What is the matter with you?’ Then he (asws) turned towards us and said: ‘But, had it been that (quake) which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said, it would have answered me (asws), but it is not that one’.

‘Amir-ul-Momineen (asws), when the story in between him (asws) and Talha, and Al-Zubeyr, and Ayesha concluded at Al-Basra, he (asws) ascended the Pulpit. So he (asws) Praised Allah (azwj) and Extolled Him (azwj), and sent greetings upon the Rasool Allah (saww), then said: ‘O you people! The world is sweet and green, en

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Usman who said: Abu Abdullah Al-Mada’iny narrated from Abu Abdullah (asws) having said that: ‘Allah (azwj) Created a star in the seventh orbit. So he (azwj) Created it from cold water and the rest of the six stars flowed from hot water, an

‘I saw (a dream) during the sleep, as if there was a cage in which were seventeen bottles. There was an impact upon the cage and the bottles broke’. So he (asws) said: ‘If your dream is true, a man from my (asws) Household would come out, govern for seventeen days, then die’. So Muhammad Bin Ibrahim came out at Al-Kufa

What encouraged me (asws) was what the Rasool Allah (saww) said; ‘If Abu Jahl (la) can take a single hair from my (saww) head (to hurt me (saww)), so testify that I (saww) am not a Prophet (saww), and I (asws) say to you that if Haroun can take a single hair from my (asws) head, so testify that I (asws) am not an Imam

A man from the children of Umar Bin Al-Khattaab exposed (molested) a maid of an Uqeyli man. So she said to him, It was this Umary who has hurt me’. So he said to her, ‘Let him come into the corridor’. So she let him in, and he pounced hard and killed him, and threw his body onto the street’ So the Bakries, and Umaries,

‘Behind Al-Yemen there is a valley called Barhoot, and there is no permission to be in that valley except for the black (snakes) and the owls from the birds.

Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘When the ascension (Me’raaj) took place with the Rasool Allah (saww), in the morning he (saww) sat and narrated it to them (his (saww) companions). So they said to him (saww), ‘Describe for us Bayt Al-Maqdas’. So he (saww) described it for them, as he (saww) had seen it during the night,

When the Rasool Allah (saww) came out of the cave, he (saww) turned his direction towards Al-Medina, and the Qureysh had placed a reward of one hundred camels for anyone who could capture him (saww). So Suraqat Bin Malik Bin Jo’sham went out in search. He met up with the Rasool Allah (saww). So the Rasool Allah (saww)

379. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Abu Najraan, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abu Al-Jaroud, who has said: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said: ‘You will not see that which you all are waiting for (Al-Qaim (asws)) until you become like the dead goat for whom the lion does not care where it pla

‘The dead goat (what does it mean)?’ He said, ‘That which has become the same, and there is no preference for one over the other’.

‘It is upon you to fear Allah (azwj), One with no associates to Him (azwj), and look into yourselves, for, by Allah (azwj), the man who has sheep and the shepherd for it, if he finds a man who is more knowledgeable about the sheep than him, would let him go and come to that man who is more knowledgeable about his sheep

Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) has said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! There will not come out any one from us (asws) before the coming out of Al-Qaim (asws) except that his example would be of a nestling trying to come out from its nest before its wings have been formed, so the young boys grab hold of it and play with it’.

‘O Sudeyr! Be seated in your houses and remain calm, and stay like that overnight, and when the day arrives, and Al-Sufyani has come out, so get out to come to us (asws) even if you have to walk on your feet’.

فَفَعَلْتُ فَمَا عَادَتْ إِلَيَّ.

‘Why is it that I (asws) see you with a grim face?’ So I said, ‘I have fever’. So he (asws) said: ‘What prevents you from the blessed and good. Take the sugar and dissolve it in the water and drink it on an empty stomach and during the evening’. He said, ‘I did that, so it (fever) did not return to me’.

‘When you go to your bed, take two (pieces) of sugar’. So he said, ‘I did it. So I was free from it, and I informed one of the doctors who was a renowned one of our city.

Abu Abdullah (asws) has said to a man: ‘With what thing do you cure your sick when they have fever?’ He said, ‘May Allah (azwj) Keep you well, by these bitter medicines – by Safaayaj, and Al-Ghafas, and similar to these’.

Abu Abdullah (asws) having said to me: ‘They have concealed ‘بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ’ ‘In the Name of Allah (azwj) the Beneficent, the Merciful’. So, by Allah (azwj), they have concealed the Best Name. The Rasool Allah (saww), when he (asws) used to enter his (saww) house, and the Quresyh were gathered ag
