   مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ سَأَلَهُ حُمْرَانُ فَقَالَ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا مَتَى يَكُونُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فَسُرِرْنَا بِهِ فَقَالَ يَا حُمْرَانُ إِنَّ لَكَ أَصْدِقَاءَ وَ إِخْوَاناً وَ مَعَارِفَ إِنَّ رَجُلًا كَانَ فِيمَا مَضَى مِنَ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَ كَانَ لَهُ ابْنٌ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَرْغَبُ فِي عِلْمِ أَبِيهِ وَ لَا يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ كَانَ لَهُ جَارٌ يَأْتِيهِ وَ يَسْأَلُهُ وَ يَأْخُذُ عَنْهُ فَحَضَرَ الرَّجُلَ الْمَوْتُ فَدَعَا ابْنَهُ فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّكَ قَدْ كُنْتَ تَزْهَدُ فِيمَا عِنْدِي وَ تَقِلُّ رَغْبَتُكَ فِيهِ وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَسْأَلُنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لِي جَارٌ قَدْ كَانَ يَأْتِينِي وَ يَسْأَلُنِي وَ يَأْخُذُ مِنِّي وَ يَحْفَظُ عَنِّي فَإِنِ احْتَجْتَ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَأْتِهِ وَ عَرَّفَهُ جَارَهُ فَهَلَكَ الرَّجُلُ وَ بَقِيَ ابْنُهُ فَرَأَى مَلِكُ ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانِ رُؤْيَا فَسَأَلَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ قَدْ هَلَكَ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ هَلْ تَرَكَ وَلَداً فَقِيلَ لَهُ نَعَمْ تَرَكَ ابْناً فَقَالَ ائْتُونِي بِهِ فَبُعِثَ إِلَيْهِ لِيَأْتِيَ الْمَلِكَ فَقَالَ الْغُلَامُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَدْرِي لِمَا يَدْعُونِي الْمَلِكُ وَ مَا عِنْدِي عِلْمٌ وَ لَئِنْ سَأَلَنِي عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَأَفْتَضِحَنَّ فَذَكَرَ مَا كَانَ أَوْصَاهُ أَبُوهُ بِهِ فَأَتَى الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الْعِلْمَ مِنْ أَبِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ قَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ يَسْأَلُنِي وَ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي فِيمَ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ وَ قَدْ كَانَ أَبِي أَمَرَنِي أَنْ آتِيَكَ إِنِ احْتَجْتُ إِلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَ لَكِنِّي أَدْرِي فِيمَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ أَخْبَرْتُكَ فَمَا أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَهُوَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَاسْتَحْلَفَهُ وَ اسْتَوْثَقَ مِنْهُ أَنْ يَفِيَ لَهُ فَأَوْثَقَ لَهُ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَآهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقُلْ لَهُ هَذَا زَمَانُ الذِّئْبِ فَأَتَاهُ الْغُلَامُ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ هَلْ تَدْرِي لِمَ أَرْسَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيَّ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَأَيْتَهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ زَمَانُ الذِّئْبِ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِجَائِزَةٍ فَقَبَضَهَا الْغُلَامُ وَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ أَبَى أَنْ يَفِيَ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَ قَالَ لَعَلِّي لَا أُنْفِدُ هَذَا الْمَالَ وَ لَا آكُلُهُ حَتَّى أَهْلِكَ وَ لَعَلِّي لَا أَحْتَاجُ وَ لَا أُسْأَلُ عَنْ مِثْلِ هَذَا الَّذِي سُئِلْتُ عَنْهُ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ يَدْعُوهُ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعَ وَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عِنْدِي عِلْمٌ آتِيهِ بِهِ وَ مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِصَاحِبِي وَ قَدْ غَدَرْتُ بِهِ وَ لَمْ أَفِ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لآَتِيَنَّهُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ لَأَعْتَذِرَنَّ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَأَحْلِفَنَّ لَهُ فَلَعَلَّهُ يُخْبِرُنِي فَأَتَاهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنِّي قَدْ صَنَعْتُ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُ وَ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِمَا كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ وَ تَفَرَّقَ مَا كَانَ فِي يَدِي وَ قَدِ احْتَجْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَأَنْشُدُكَ اللَّهَ أَنْ لَا تَخْذُلَنِي وَ أَنَا أُوثِقُ لَكَ أَنْ لَا يَخْرُجَ لِي شَيْ‏ءٌ إِلَّا كَانَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ وَ قَدْ بَعَثَ إِلَيَّ الْمَلِكُ وَ لَسْتُ أَدْرِي عَمَّا يَسْأَلُنِي فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْأَلَكَ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَآهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْكَبْشِ فَأَتَى الْمَلِكَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِمَا بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ رُؤْيَا وَ إِنَّكَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْكَبْشِ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصِلَةٍ فَقَبَضَهَا وَ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ وَ تَدَبَّرَ فِي رَأْيِهِ فِي أَنْ يَفِيَ لِصَاحِبِهِ أَوْ لَا يَفِيَ لَهُ فَهَمَّ مَرَّةً أَنْ يَفْعَلَ وَ مَرَّةً أَنْ لَا يَفْعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَلِّي أَنْ لَا أَحْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ بَعْدَ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةِ أَبَداً وَ أَجْمَعَ رَأْيَهُ عَلَى الْغَدْرِ وَ تَرْكِ الْوَفَاءِ فَمَكَثَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ إِنَّ الْمَلِكَ رَأَى رُؤْيَا فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ فَنَدِمَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ صَاحِبِهِ وَ قَالَ بَعْدَ غَدْرٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ وَ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي عِلْمٌ ثُمَّ أَجْمَعَ رَأْيَهُ عَلَى إِتْيَانِ الرَّجُلِ فَأَتَاهُ فَنَاشَدَهُ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ سَأَلَهُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَهُ وَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمَرَّةَ يَفِي مِنْهُ وَ أَوْثَقَ لَهُ وَ قَالَ لَا تَدَعْنِي عَلَى هَذِهِ الْحَالِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَعُودُ إِلَى الْغَدْرِ وَ سَأَفِي لَكَ فَاسْتَوْثَقَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَدْعُوكَ يَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَآهَا أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ فَأَخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ زَمَانُ الْمِيزَانِ قَالَ فَأَتَى الْمَلِكَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ لِمَ بَعَثْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ رَأَيْتَ رُؤْيَا وَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْأَلَنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ صَدَقْتَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي أَيُّ زَمَانٍ هَذَا فَقَالَ هَذَا زَمَانُ الْمِيزَانِ فَأَمَرَ لَهُ بِصِلَةٍ فَقَبَضَهَا وَ انْطَلَقَ بِهَا إِلَى الرَّجُلِ فَوَضَعَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَ قَالَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ بِمَا خَرَجَ لِي فَقَاسِمْنِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَالِمُ إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ الْأَوَّلَ كَانَ زَمَانَ الذِّئْبِ وَ إِنَّكَ كُنْتَ مِنَ الذِّئَابِ وَ إِنَّ الزَّمَانَ الثَّانِيَ كَانَ زَمَانَ الْكَبْشِ يَهُمُّ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ وَ كَذَلِكَ كُنْتَ أَنْتَ تَهُمُّ وَ لَا تَفِي وَ كَانَ هَذَا زَمَانَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ كُنْتَ فِيهِ عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ فَاقْبِضْ مَالَكَ لَا حَاجَةَ لِي فِيهِ وَ رَدَّهُ عَلَيْهِ.

   551. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, together from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Jameel, from Zurara, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said, ‘Humran asked him (asws), ‘May Allah (azwj) Make me to be sacrificed for you (asws)! If you (asws) were to narrate to us when this Matter (Al-Qaim (asws)) is to take place, it would make us happy’. He (asws) said: ‘O Humran! You have friends, and brothers, and people whom you know. There used to be a scholar in the past, and he had a son who was never interested in the knowledge of his father, and did not ask him about anything, and they had a neighbour who used to come over and ask him, and take (knowledge) from him. The death presented itself to the man, so he called his son and said, ‘O my son! You have kept yourself away from what was in my possession, and had very little interest in it, and you never used to ask me about anything, whilst I had a neighbour who used to come to me, and ask me, and take (knowledge) from me, and memorise it from me. So now if you ever need anything, go to him. He introduced his neighbour to him. The man died, and his son remained. The king of that era saw a dream, so he asked around for the man. It was said to him that he had died. So the king said, ‘Did he leave a son?’ It was said to him, ‘Yes, he left a son’. So he said, ‘Bring him to me’. They went to him in order to bring him to the king. The boy said, ‘By Allah (azwj), I do not know why the king has called me, and there is no knowledge with me, and if he were to ask me about something, I would be disgraced’. He remembered what his father has bequeathed to him, so he came to the man who used to take the knowledge from his father. He said to him, ‘The king has sent for me to ask me, and I do not know why he has sent for me, and my father had ordered me that I should come to you if I ever have a need for anything’. The man said, ‘But I know very well with regards to what he has sent for you. So, if I were to inform you, then whatsoever that Allah (azwj) Brings out to you, so it would be (divided) between you and me’. He said, ‘Yes’. He took an oath from him and made a binding agreement with the boy. He said, ‘He wants to ask you about a dream that he saw, as to which era it relates to? So you should say to him, ‘This is the era of the wolf’. The boy went to him, and the king said to him, ‘Do you know why I sent for you?’ He said, ‘You sent for me intending to ask me about a dream that you saw, as to which era it relates to’. The king said, ‘You speak the truth, so inform me as to which era it relates to’. He said to him, ‘The era of the wolf’. So he ordered for an award to be given to him, and the boy grabbed it and left to go to his house. He refused to be loyal to his companion and said (to himself), ‘I will not hand over this wealth, and will consume it until I die, and there is no need for me, nor will I ever have to ask him about anything similar to what I have already asked him’. So that (situation) prevailed for as long as Allah (azwj) Desired it to. Then the king saw (another) dream, so he sent for the boy. He regretted at what he had done and said, ‘By Allah (azwj), there is no knowledge with me that I can give, and I do not know how to deal with my companion, and I have betrayed him, and never apologised to him’. Then said, ‘Let me go to him in any case and present excuses to him, hopefully he will inform me’. So he came and said to him, ‘I have done what I have done, and never apologised to you for what happened between I and you, and that which was in my hands has gone, and I have now got a need from you’. So adjure me to Allah (azwj) and do not abandon me, and I am a reliable one for you, that nothing will be given to me except that it would be (divided) between you and me. And the king has sent for me and I do not know what he will be asking me’. So he said, ‘He intends to ask you about a dream he saw, as to which era it relates to, so say to him, ‘It is for the era of the ram’. So he went to the king who said, ‘Do you know why I have sent for you?’ He said, ‘You saw a dream and you want to ask me as to which era it relates to’. So he said to him, ‘You have spoken the truth, so tell me which era this is for?’ He said, ‘This is for the era of the ram’. So he ordered a reward for him. The boy grabbed it and left for his house, and he was pondering whether he should be loyal to his companion, or whether he should not be loyal to him. Sometimes he thought that he should do it, sometimes he thought that he should not do it. Then he said (to himself), ‘I will have no need for him anymore after this time ever’, and opted for the betrayal and leave the loyalty. So that (situation) prevailed for as long as Allah (azwj) Desired it to. Then the king saw (another) dream, so he sent for him. He regretted at what he had done regarding what was between himself and his companion and said (to himself), ‘I have betrayed him twice, how shall I face him, and there is no knowledge with me. Then he decided on going to the man, and came up to him. So he swore upon Allah (azwj) Blessed and High, and asked him to let him know and inform him, and that this time he would be loyal to him, and be a trustworthy to him, and said, ‘Do not leave me upon this condition, for I will not return to the betrayal, and will be loyal to you. So he took an agreement from him. He said, ‘He has called you to ask you about a dream he saw, as to which era it relates to. So when he questions you, inform him that it is for the era of the scale (balance)’. He (asws) said: ‘So he came up to the king who said to him, ‘Do you know why I have sent for you?’ He said, ‘You have seen a dream and intend to ask me as to which era it relates to’. He said, ‘You have spoken the truth, so tell me which era this is for?’ He said, ‘This is for the era of the scale’. So he ordered a reward for him. The boy grabbed the reward and went with it to the man and placed it in front of him and said, ‘I have come to you with whatever was given to me, so divided it equally’. So the scholar said to him, ‘The first period was like the era of the wolf, and you were from the wolves. And the second period was the era of the ram which thinks but does not do it, and similarly you were thinking about it but were not loyal. And this period is the era of the scale, and you were, with regards to it, upon the loyalty. So grab your wealth for I have no need for it’. And he returned it back to him’.

   552. Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Taymi, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Ja’far who said, ‘Narrated to me Moattab, or someone else, who said: ‘Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan sent a message to Abu Abdullah (asws) saying, ‘Abu Muhammad says to you (asws), ‘I am braver than you (asws), and I am more generous than you (asws), and I am more knowledgeable than you (asws)’. So he (asws) said to his messenger: ‘As for the bravery, by Allah (azwj) there has not been an incident whereby your cowardice can be distinguished from your bravery. And as for the generosity, so it is taking something and placing it in its rightful place. And as for the knowledge, your forefather Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws) had freed a thousand slaves, therefore name five of them for us (asws) if you are a knowledgeable one’. So the messenger returned to him. He told him, then he returned back to him (asws) saying, ‘He is saying to you (asws), that you (asws) are a man of Books’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said to him; ‘Tell him, ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj), the Books of Ibrahim (as), and Musa (as), and Isa (as), which I (asws) have inherited from my (asws) forefathers (asws)’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al-Kahily, who has said: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[10:101] and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”. He (asws) said: ‘When ascension took place with the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), Jibraeel came up to him (saww) with Al-Buraaq (the ride). So he (saww) rode on it and came to Bayt Al-Maqdas (Jerusalem). So he (saww) met the ones whom he (saww) met from his (saww) brothers from the Prophets (as). Then he (saww) returned and narrated it to his (saww) companions, ‘I (saww) came to Bayt Al-Maqdas, and returned during the night. Jibraeel came to me (saww) with Al-Buraaq, so I (saww) rode upon it, and the sign of that is that I (saww) passed by the camels of Abu Sufyan being watered at the watering hole of the clan of so and so. A red camel of theirs had strayed and the group were looking for it. So some of them said to the others, ‘But rather he (saww) went to Syria whilst riding at speed whereas you have been to Syria and recognise it. So ask him (saww) about its markets, and its doors, and its businessmen’. So they said, ‘O Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj), how is Syria, and how are its markets?’ He (asws) said: ‘The Messenger (saww), when asked about something that he (saww) did not recognise, he (saww) would not describe it until after seeing it in front of him (saww). So when they were in the middle of that, Jibraeel came up to him (saww) and said: ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), this here is Syria which has been raised for you (saww)!’ So the Rasool Allah (saww) turned and visualised Syria, with its doors, and its markets, and its businessmen’. So he (saww) said: ‘Where are the questioners about Syria?’ So they said to him (saww), ‘It is so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) answered them with regards to all of what they asked from him (saww). Even then they did not believe from among them, except for a few, and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “[10:101] and signs and warners do not avail a people who would not believe”. Then Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘We (asws) seek Refuge with Allah (azwj) from disbelief in Allah (azwj) and in His (azwj) Rasool (saww). We (asws) believe in Allah (azwj) and in His (azwj) Messenger (saww)’.

   555. Ahmad Bin Muhammad bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Hasan Al-Taymi, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Zurara, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘When the believers says to his brother, ‘Uff!’ he comes out from his guardianship. If he says, ‘You are my enemy’, one of the two has blasphemed, because Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic does not Accept the deeds from anyone during the reproach of a Believer, and does not Accept from a Believer any deeds whilst he harbours evil in his heart against a Believer. If the covering is Lifted from the people, so they will see to the Means of what is between Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic and the Believers. Their necks would become submissive to the Believers, and their matters would become easier for them and they would be obedient to them. And if they were to look at the deeds rejected by Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, they would say, ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic does not Accept the deeds from anybody’. And I (the narrator) heard him (asws) say to a man from the Shites: ‘You all are the good ones, and your women are the good ones. Every Believing woman is a beautiful Hourie, and every believing man is a truthful one’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard him (asws) saying: ‘Our (asws) Shites would be the closest of the creatures to the Throne of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic on the Day of Judgement after us (asws). And there is no one from our (asws) Shites who stand to Pray except that the number of Angels equal to the ones opposed to him Pray for him in congregation for him until he is free from his Salat (Prayer). And the one from among you who Fasts will be enjoying in the Gardens of the Paradise, and the Angels prepare it for him until he breaks the Fast’. And I (the narrator) heard him (asws) saying: ‘You (Shites) are the people Greeted by the Greetings of Allah (azwj), and the people Impacted by the Mercy of Allah (azwj), and the people Guided by the Protection of Allah (azwj), and the people Invited by Allah (azwj) for being obedient to Him (azwj). There is no Accounting for you (Shites), and no fear, and no grief. You are all for the Paradise and the Paradise is for you all. Your names (titles) in our (asws) presence are, ‘the righteous’, and ‘the reformers’. And you are the people of the Pleasure of Allah (azwj), Him (azwj) being Pleased with you, and the Angels are your brothers in the good. So if you are striving, they supplicate for you, and if you are in neglect, they strive for you. And you are the best of the created beings. Your houses are gardens for your (living ones), and the graves are the garden for your (deceased). It is for the Paradise that you have been created, and it is in the Paradise that you will be Favoured by, and it is to the Paradise that you are travelling to’.

So the Rasool Allah (saww) was (pleased with) astonishing (tale)’.

   557. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin salim, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaz, from Abu Baseer, who has said the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said that: ‘Azar, the father of Ibrahim (as) was an astrologer for Nimrod (la) and he (la) never passed a law except after seeking his advice. So he looked at the stars one night, and in the morning he said to Nimrod (la), ‘I have seen something strange’. He (la) said, ‘And what is it?’ He said, ‘I saw a newborn being born in our land. Our destruction will be by his (as) hands. It will not be long after him (as) being conceived’. So he (la) was astounded by that and said, ‘Has the woman fallen pregnant with him (as) yet?’ He said, ‘Not yet’. So he (la) separated the women from the men. He (la) did not leave a single woman except that he (la) made her to be in the city, with no man being allowed to be alone with her. Azar copulated with his wife and Ibrahim (as) was conceived. He thought that he (as) might be the one. So he sent for the women from the midwives of that time, that if there is anything in her womb they should notify him. They examined her. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Made what was in her womb to be transferred to the back. So they said, ‘We did not see anything in her tummy’. And what was in his knowledge was that he (as) would be burnt by the fire, and did not know that Allah (azwj) the High would be Rescuing him (as)’. He (asws) said: ‘So when the mother of Ibrahim (as) gave birth to him (as), Azar wanted to go with him (as) to Nimrod (la) to be killed. So his wife said to him, ‘Do not go with your son (as) to Nimrod (la) for he (la) will kill him (as). I shall go with him (as) to one of the caves and leave him (as) there until his (as) death comes to him (as), and you will not become the one to have killed your own son’. So he said to her, ‘Take him (as)’. So she went with him (as) to a cave, then placed him (as) in it, and placed a rock to block the entrance of the cave. Then she left him (as). He (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Made his (as) sustenance to be in his (as) thumb. He (as) would suck it and milk would flow from it. He (as) grew in a day like others grow in a week, and grew in a week like others grow in a month, and grew in a month like others grow in a year. So that situation remained for as long as Allah (azwj) Desired it to remain. Then his (as) mother said to his (as) father, ‘If you allow me, I shall go to that child’. So he allowed her. So she went there and there was Ibrahim (as). His (as) eyes lit up like two lanterns. She grabbed him (as) and pressed him (as) to her bosom, and fed him (as). Then she left him there. Azar asked her about him (as), so she said, ‘I have hidden (buried) him in the soil’. She waited, and she would come out for her need, and go to Ibrahim (as), hold him (as) to her bosom, feed him (as), and leave him (as). So when he (as) started moving, she would still come to him (as) and do as she had done before. So when she wanted to leave, he (as) grabbed her robe. She said to him (as), ‘What is the matter?’ He (as) said to her: ‘Take me (as) with you’. She said, ‘Not until your father orders me to’. He (asws) said: ‘The mother of Ibrahim (as) came to Azar. She related to him the story. He said to her, ‘Bring him (as) to me. Make him (as) to be seated upon the road, so when his (as) brothers pass by, make him (as) enter with them, and he (as) will not be noticed’. He (asws) said: ‘And the brothers of Ibrahim (as) used to carve the idols and would go with these to the markets and sell them. So she went to him (as), and came with him (as) until she made him (as) to sit upon the road. And his (as) brothers passed by, he (as) entered with them. So when his (as) father saw him (as), he was overwhelmed with the love for him (as). And so the situation remained as such for as long as Allah (azwj) Desired it to’. He (asws) said; ‘One day from the days during which, his (as) brothers were in the middle of carving the idols, Ibrahim (as) took the tool, and took a piece of wood, and carved such an idol from it the like of which they had never seen before at all. So Azar said to his (as) mother, ‘I hope that we receive good luck from the blessings of this son (as) of yours’. He (asws) said; ‘So when they were in the middle of that, Ibrahim (as) grabbed hold of the tool and broke the idol which he (as) had carved. So his (as) father got scared and was overcome with severe panic. He said to him (as), ‘What would you (as) have done with it?’ Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘And what would you have done with it?’ Azar said, ‘People would have worshipped it’. So Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘Are you worshipping what you yourself have carved?’ So Azar said to his (as) mother, ‘This is the one due to whom our kingdom would go away, by his (as) hands’.

   558. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Aban Bin usman, from Hujr, who has said the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘Ibrahim (as) opposed his (as) people, and faulted their gods until he was brought to Nimrod (la) to contend with him (la). So Ibrahim (as) said: “[2:258] My Lord is He who gives life and causes to die, he said: I give life and cause death. Ibrahim said: So surely Allah causes the sun to rise from the east, then make it rise from the west; thus he who disbelieved was confounded; and Allah does not guide aright the unjust people”. And Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘He (as) faulted their gods, “[37:88] And he glanced a glance at the stars [37:89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick!” Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), he (as) was not sick, nor did he (as) lie. So when they turned away from him (as) to attend to their festivities, Ibrahim (as) came to their gods with an axe and broke them, except for the big one of theirs, and placed the axe around its neck. They came back to their gods and saw what had happened to them, so they said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj), no one has the audacity to break these except for the young man (as) who had faulted these and keeps away from them’. So they did not find for him (as) a manner of killing more severe than the fire. They gathered the firewood, and fuelled it. When it came to the day in which he (as) was to be burnt, Nimord (la) and his (la) army came out, and there had been built for them a building to look at him (as) from above to see how the fire would grab hold of him (as). And they placed Ibrahim (as) in a catapult, and the earth cried out: ‘O Lord (azwj)! There is none upon my back who worships You (azwj) apart from him (as) who is being burnt by the fire’. The Lord (azwj) Said: “If he (as) supplicates to Me (azwj), I (azwj) shall Suffice for him (as)’. Aban has mentioned, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from the one who reported it, from Abu Ja’far (asws) that: ‘The supplication of Ibrahim (as) on that day was: ‘O One! O Everlasting! O Everlasting! O One Who does not beget nor is He Begotten, and there is none comparable to Him!’ Then he (as) said: ‘I (as) rely upon Allah (azwj)’. So the Lord (azwj) Blessed and High Said: “I (azwj) shall Suffice for you (as)”. So the fire said: ‘Make me to be cold’. He (asws) said: ‘The teeth of Ibrahim chattered from the cold until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said: “Safety upon Ibrahim (as)”. And Jibraeel descended, and he was seated with Ibrahim (as) talking to him (as) in the fire. Nimrod (la) said, ‘When you take a god, you should take a god similar to that of the God of Ibrahim (as)’. He (asws) said; ‘So a great one from their great ones said, ‘It was I who intended that the fire should not burn him (as)’. So a huge flame shot out from the fire at him until it incinerated him’. He (asws) said: ‘Lut (as) believed in him (as), and went out as an emigrant to Syria – him (as), and Sarah (as) and Lut (as)’.

   عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ الْكَرْخِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) كَانَ مَوْلِدُهُ بِكُوثَى رُبَا وَ كَانَ أَبُوهُ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا وَ كَانَتْ أُمُّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ أُمُّ لُوطٍ سَارَةَ وَ وَرَقَةَ وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ رُقَيَّةَ أُخْتَيْنِ وَ هُمَا ابْنَتَانِ لِلَاحِجٍ وَ كَانَ اللَّاحِجُ نَبِيّاً مُنْذِراً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ رَسُولًا وَ كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فِي شَبِيبَتِهِ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ الَّتِي فَطَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الْخَلْقَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى هَدَاهُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى إِلَى دِينِهِ وَ اجْتَبَاهُ وَ إِنَّهُ تَزَوَّجَ سَارَةَ ابْنَةَ لَاحِجٍ وَ هِيَ ابْنَةُ خَالَتِهِ وَ كَانَتْ سَارَةُ صَاحِبَةَ مَاشِيَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ وَ أَرْضٍ وَاسِعَةٍ وَ حَالٍ حَسَنَةٍ وَ كَانَتْ قَدْ مَلَّكَتْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) جَمِيعَ مَا كَانَتْ تَمْلِكُهُ فَقَامَ فِيهِ وَ أَصْلَحَهُ وَ كَثُرَتِ الْمَاشِيَةُ وَ الزَّرْعُ حَتَّى لَمْ يَكُنْ بِأَرْضِ كُوثَى رُبَا رَجُلٌ أَحْسَنُ حَالًا مِنْهُ وَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) لَمَّا كَسَرَ أَصْنَامَ نُمْرُودَ أَمَرَ بِهِ نُمْرُودُ فَأُوثِقَ وَ عَمِلَ لَهُ حَيْراً وَ جَمَعَ لَهُ فِيهِ الْحَطَبَ وَ أَلْهَبَ فِيهِ النَّارَ ثُمَّ قَذَفَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) فِي النَّارِ لِتُحْرِقَهُ ثُمَّ اعْتَزَلُوهَا حَتَّى خَمَدَتِ النَّارُ ثُمَّ أَشْرَفُوا عَلَى الْحَيْرِ فَإِذَا هُمْ بِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) سَلِيماً مُطْلَقاً مِنْ وَثَاقِهِ فَأُخْبِرَ نُمْرُودُ خَبَرَهُ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَنْفُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) مِنْ بِلَادِهِ وَ أَنْ يَمْنَعُوهُ مِنَ الْخُرُوجِ بِمَاشِيَتِهِ وَ مَالِهِ فَحَاجَّهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ إِنْ أَخَذْتُمْ مَاشِيَتِي وَ مَالِي فَإِنَّ حَقِّي عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْ تَرُدُّوا عَلَيَّ مَا ذَهَبَ مِنْ عُمُرِي فِي بِلَادِكُمْ وَ اخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى قَاضِي نُمْرُودَ فَقَضَى عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ إِلَيْهِمْ جَمِيعَ مَا أَصَابَ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ وَ قَضَى عَلَى أَصْحَابِ نُمْرُودَ أَنْ يَرُدُّوا عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) مَا ذَهَبَ مِنْ عُمُرِهِ فِي بِلَادِهِمْ فَأُخْبِرَ بِذَلِكَ نُمْرُودُ فَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يُخَلُّوا سَبِيلَهُ وَ سَبِيلَ مَاشِيَتِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ أَنْ يُخْرِجُوهُ وَ قَالَ إِنَّهُ إِنْ بَقِيَ فِي بِلَادِكُمْ أَفْسَدَ دِينَكُمْ وَ أَضَرَّ بِآلِهَتِكُمْ فَأَخْرَجُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ لُوطاً مَعَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا مِنْ بِلَادِهِمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَخَرَجَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَ مَعَهُ لُوطٌ لَا يُفَارِقُهُ وَ سَارَةُ وَ قَالَ لَهُمْ إِنِّي ذاهِبٌ إِلى رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ يَعْنِي بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَتَحَمَّلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) بِمَاشِيَتِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ عَمِلَ تَابُوتاً وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِ سَارَةَ وَ شَدَّ عَلَيْهَا الْأَغْلَاقَ غَيْرَةً مِنْهُ عَلَيْهَا وَ مَضَى حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْ سُلْطَانِ نُمْرُودَ وَ صَارَ إِلَى سُلْطَانِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْقِبْطِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَرَارَةُ فَمَرَّ بِعَاشِرٍ لَهُ فَاعْتَرَضَهُ الْعَاشِرُ لِيَعْشُرَ مَا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى الْعَاشِرِ وَ مَعَهُ التَّابُوتُ قَالَ الْعَاشِرُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) افْتَحْ هَذَا التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى نَعْشُرَ مَا فِيهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) قُلْ مَا شِئْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَوْ فِضَّةٍ حَتَّى نُعْطِيَ عُشْرَهُ وَ لَا نَفْتَحَهُ قَالَ فَأَبَى الْعَاشِرُ إِلَّا فَتْحَهُ قَالَ وَ غَضِبَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) عَلَى فَتْحِهِ فَلَمَّا بَدَتْ لَهُ سَارَةُ وَ كَانَتْ مَوْصُوفَةً بِالْحُسْنِ وَ الْجَمَالِ قَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ مَا هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنْكَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) هِيَ حُرْمَتِي وَ ابْنَةُ خَالَتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ فَمَا دَعَاكَ إِلَى أَنْ خَبَيْتَهَا فِي هَذَا التَّابُوتِ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) الْغَيْرَةُ عَلَيْهَا أَنْ يَرَاهَا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَاشِرُ لَسْتُ أَدَعُكَ تَبْرَحُ حَتَّى أُعْلِمَ الْمَلِكَ حَالَهَا وَ حَالَكَ قَالَ فَبَعَثَ رَسُولًا إِلَى الْمَلِكِ فَأَعْلَمَهُ فَبَعَثَ الْمَلِكُ رَسُولًا مِنْ قِبَلِهِ لِيَأْتُوهُ بِالتَّابُوتِ فَأَتَوْا لِيَذْهَبُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) إِنِّي لَسْتُ أُفَارِقُ التَّابُوتَ حَتَّى تُفَارِقَ رُوحِي جَسَدِي فَأَخْبَرُوا الْمَلِكَ بِذَلِكَ فَأَرْسَلَ الْمَلِكُ أَنِ احْمِلُوهُ وَ التَّابُوتَ مَعَهُ فَحَمَلُوا إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) و التَّابُوتَ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا كَانَ مَعَهُ حَتَّى أُدْخِلَ عَلَى الْمَلِكِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ افْتَحِ التَّابُوتَ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ إِنَّ فِيهِ حُرْمَتِي وَ ابْنَةَ خَالَتِي وَ أَنَا مُفْتَدٍ فَتْحَهُ بِجَمِيعِ مَا مَعِي قَالَ فَغَضِبَ الْمَلِكُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَى فَتْحِهِ فَلَمَّا رَأَى سَارَةَ لَمْ يَمْلِكْ حِلْمُهُ سَفَهَهُ أَنْ مَدَّ يَدَهُ إِلَيْهَا فَأَعْرَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) بِوَجْهِهِ عَنْهَا وَ عَنْهُ غَيْرَةً مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ احْبِسْ يَدَهُ عَنْ حُرْمَتِي وَ ابْنَةِ خَالَتِي فَلَمْ تَصِلْ يَدُهُ إِلَيْهَا وَ لَمْ تَرْجِعْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ هُوَ الَّذِي فَعَلَ بِي هَذَا فَقَالَ لَهُ نَعَمْ إِنَّ إِلَهِي غَيُورٌ يَكْرَهُ الْحَرَامَ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي حَالَ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ مَا أَرَدْتَ مِنَ الْحَرَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلِكُ فَادْعُ إِلَهَكَ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ يَدِي فَإِنْ أَجَابَكَ فَلَمْ أَعْرِضْ لَهَا فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) إِلَهِي رُدَّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ لِيَكُفَّ عَنْ حُرْمَتِي قَالَ فَرَدَّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ فَأَقْبَلَ الْمَلِكُ نَحْوَهَا بِبَصَرِهِ ثُمَّ أَعَادَ بِيَدِهِ نَحْوَهَا فَأَعْرَضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) عَنْهُ بِوَجْهِهِ غَيْرَةً مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ احْبِسْ يَدَهُ عَنْهَا قَالَ فَيَبِسَتْ يَدُهُ وَ لَمْ تَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ إِلَهَكَ لَغَيُورٌ وَ إِنَّكَ لَغَيُورٌ فَادْعُ إِلَهَكَ يَرُدَّ عَلَيَّ يَدِي فَإِنَّهُ إِنْ فَعَلَ لَمْ أَعُدْ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) أَسْأَلُهُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَنَّكَ إِنْ عُدْتَ لَمْ تَسْأَلْنِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ فَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ صَادِقاً فَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِ يَدَهُ فَرَجَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ يَدُهُ فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ الْمَلِكُ مِنَ الْغَيْرَةِ مَا رَأَى وَ رَأَى الْآيَةَ فِي يَدِهِ عَظَّمَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عليه السلام) وَ هَابَهُ وَ أَكْرَمَهُ وَ اتَّقَاهُ وَ قَالَ لَهُ قَدْ أَمِنْتَ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْرِضَ لَهَا أَوْ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا مَعَكَ فَانْطَلِقْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ لَكِنْ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) مَا هِيَ فَقَالَ لَهُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِي أَنْ أُخْدِمَهَا قِبْطِيَّةً عِنْدِي جَمِيلَةً عَاقِلَةً تَكُونُ لَهَا خَادِماً قَالَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَدَعَا بِهَا فَوَهَبَهَا لِسَارَةَ وَ هِيَ هَاجَرُ أُمُّ إِسْمَاعِيلَ (عليه السلام) فَسَارَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ

   559. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, together from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Ziyad Al-Karkhy who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘Ibrahim (as) was born at Kowsy Ruba, and his (as) father was from its inhabitants, and the mother of Ibrahim (as), and the mother of Lut (as) were Sara and Warqa’ (and in another copy ‘Ruqayya’), and were sisters, and they were both the daughters of Lahij (as). And Lahij (as) was a Prophet (as), a Warner, but was not a Messenger (as). And Ibrahim (as) was, in his (as) youth, upon the nature which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Created, to the extent that Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Guided him (as) to His (azwj) Religion, and Chose him (as). And he (as) married Sara, the daughter of Lahij (as), the daughter of his (as) maternal aunt. And Sara was the owner of a lot of assets, and vast lands, and of good financial condition, and Ibrahim (as) was the owner of all what she had owned. So he (as) managed it, and corrected the affairs, and increased the assets and plantations considerably, to the extent that he (as) became the most affluent man in the land of Kowsy Ruba. And when Ibrahim (as) broke the idols, Nimrod (la) ordered his (as) capture, and they built a platform, and gathered the firewood around it and ignited the fire, and threw Ibrahim (as) via a catapult to be burnt by it. Then they relaxed until the fire burnt out. Then they looked at the platform and there was Ibrahim (as), safe and sound, but the ropes that he (as) was bound by had been burnt to ashes. So they informed Nimrod (la) of his (as) news. So he (la) ordered them to exile Ibrahim (as) from his (as) city, and prevent him (as) from the taking his (as) assets and his (as) wealth with him (as). So Ibrahim (as) disputed with them with regards to that. He (as) said: ‘If you (as) are confiscating my (as) assets and my (as) wealth, therefore it is my (as) right against you that you should return to me (as) what has gone from my (as) lifetime in your city’, and he (as) argued against the judge of Nimrod (la), so he judged that Ibrahim (as) should submit to him (la) all of what he (as) had acquired in their city, and that Nimrod (la) to return what had gone from his (as) life. The news of that reached Nimrod (la), so he (la) ordered that they should open the way for him (as) and allow him (as) to take his (as) assets, and his (as) wealth, and throw him (as) out from their city to Syria. So Ibrahim (as) went out, and with him (as) was Lut (as) who would not separate from him (as), and Sara, and said to them: ‘I (as) am going to my (as) Lord (azwj) to be Guided by Him (azwj)’ – meaning Bayt Al-Maqdis. So Ibrahim (as) took his (as) assets, and his (as) wealth, and constructed a carriage (Taboot), and made Sara to be in it, and locked it with locks, due to his (as) honour from it, and went until he (as) exited from the authority of Nimrod (la) and went to the authority of a man from the Coptics called Araarat. So they passed by a tax collector of his. The tax collector stopped him (as) in order to tax him (as) for what was with him (as). So when he (as) ended up with the tax collector and with him (as) was the carriage (Taboot), the tax collector said to Ibrahim (as), ‘Open this carriage (Taboot) until whatever is in it gets displayed’. So Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘Say whatever you like with regards to it, from the gold or the silver and I (as) shall pay it as tax, but do not open it’. The tax collector refused until he opened it, and Ibrahim (as) was angry over its opening. So when Sara came out, and she had good qualities and was very beautiful, the tax collector said to him (as), ‘What is (the relationship of) this woman to you (as)?’ Ibrahim (as) said; ‘She is my (as) sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife) and the daughter of my (as) aunt’. So the tax collector said to him (as), ‘So what made you (as) to place her in this carriage (Taboot)?’ Ibrahim (as) said: ‘The honour (Ghairat) against anyone looking at her’. So the tax collector said to him (as), ‘I will not leave you (as) to depart until I let the king know of her condition and yours (as)’. So he sent a messenger to the king, who let him know, and the king sent a messenger from him telling them to bring him (as) to him. So Ibrahim (as) said to them: ‘I (as) will not separate from the carriage (Taboot) even if my (as) soul separates from my (as) body’. So they informed the king about that, and the king sent a message that they should bring him (as) and the box with him (as). So they took Ibrahim (as), and the carriage (Taboot), and all what was with him (as) until they came up to the king. The king said to him (as), ‘Open the carriage (Taboot)!’ So Ibrahim (as) said: ‘O king! In it is my (as) sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife), the daughter of my (as) aunt, and I (as) am prepared to ransom all what is with me (as)’. The king got angry and forced Ibrahim (as) to open it. So when he saw Sara, he could not control his foolishness, and extended his hand towards her. Ibrahim (as) turned his (as) face away from her and from him due to his (as) honour (Ghairat) from it, and said: ‘Our Allah (azwj)! Withhold his hand from my (as) sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife) and daughter of my (as) aunt!’ So his hand could not arrive to her nor would it return back to him. So the king said to him (as), ‘Was it your (as) Lord (azwj) Who did this to me?’ He (as) said to him: ‘Yes. Surely, my (as) Lord (azwj) is Honourable (Ghayyour). He (azwj) Abhors the Prohibited, and He (azwj) is the One Who Made this situation between you and what you intended from the Prohibited’. The king said to him (as), ‘So supplicate to your (as) God that He (azwj) should Return my hand back to me. If He (azwj) Answers you (as), I will never present (myself) to her’. Ibrahim (as) said: ‘My (as) God! Return his hand back to him, so that he would refrain from my (as) sanctity (Hurmat i.e. wife)’. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Returned his hand back to him. The king came near to her and looked at her, then extended his hand around her. So Ibrahim (as) turned his (as) face away from it due to his (as) honour (Ghairat) from it, and said; ‘Our Allah (azwj)! Withhold his hand from her! So his hand withered and could not arrive to her. So the king said to Ibrahim (as), ‘Surely your (as) Lord (azwj) is Honourable (Ghayyour) and so are you, so supplicate to your God that He (azwj) should return my hand back to me, for it is an action that I shall not repeat. Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘I (as) will ask Him (azwj) upon the condition that you will not ask me (as) again to supplicate to Him (azwj)’. The king said, ‘Yes’. So Ibrahim (as) said: ‘Our Allah (azwj)! If he is truthful, Return his hand! His hand returned back to him. So when the king saw that from the honour which he had never seen before, and saw the Sign in (the return of) his hand, he magnified Ibrahim (as), and endowed him (as) (with gifts), and honoured him (as), and let him (as) leave and said to him (as), ‘I grant you (as) safety from displaying her, or for anything else which is with you (as). So go to wherever you like, but I have a need from you (as)’. Ibrahim (as) said: ‘What is it?’ He said to him (as), ‘I would love it if you (as) would permit me that I should give her an attendant who is a Coptic woman who has beauty and intellect, who will serve her’. So Ibrahim (as) gave him permission for that. So he called for her, and gifted her to Sara, and she is Hajar, mother of Ismail (as). Ibrahim (as) travelled with all of what was with him (as), and the king came out with him, walking behind Ibrahim (as), in respect of Ibrahim (as) and for his (as) prestige. So Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Revealed to Ibrahim (as): “Pause, and do not walk in front of the domineering tyrant and he walks behind you (as), but make him to be in front of you (as) and walk, and show him respect, and prestige, for he is domineering, and it is necessary for there to be authorities in the earth, be they righteous or immoral”. So Ibrahim (as) paused and said to the king: ‘Wait, for my (as) God has revealed unto me (as) at this very moment that I (as) should show you respect, and honour you, and make you to walk in front of me (as), and I (as) should walk behind you, due to your majesty’. So the king said to him (as), ‘This has been Revealed unto you (as)?’ Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘Yes’. So the king said to him (as), ‘I testify that surely your (as) God is Friendly, Lenient, generous, and that you are making me incline towards your (as) Religion’. And the king bade farewell to them. So Ibrahim (as) journeyed until he (as) encamped at the high place of Syria, and left behind Lut (as) in the lower valleys of Syria. Then, when the birth of a son was delayed, Ibrahim (as) said to Sara: ‘If you want, you can sell Hajar to me (as), perhaps Allah (azwj) would Grant us the sustenance of a son from it, who would become a successor for us’. So Ibrahim (as) bought Hajar from Sara. He (as) went to her, and she gave birth to Ismail (as)’.

    560. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, together from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Husayn Bin Ahmad Al-Munqary, from Yunus Bin Zabyaan who said: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah (asws), Why do you (asws) not forbid these two men from (criticising) this man?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Who is this man, and who are these two men?’ I said, ‘Why do you (asws) not forbid Hujr Bin Zaida, and Aamir Bin Juza’at, from (criticising) Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar?’ So he (asws) said: ‘O Yunus! I (asws) had asked these two to refrain from it, but they did not do it. So I called the two of them over, and asked both of them, and wrote to both of them telling them what I (asws) needed from both of them, but they still did not restrain themselves from it. So, may Allah (azwj) not Forgive them both, for by Allah (azwj), there are many honourable ones in his cordiality than these two regarding what they are impersonating from my (asws) cordiality. Where he has said, ‘Why does she think by the absence that I do not love her?’, then the two of them have not honoured me (asws), but by Allah (azwj), had they both loved me (asws), they would have loved the one whom I (asws) love’.

    561. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Nu’man, from Al-Qasim the associate of Al-Mufazzal, and he was a truthful man, who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘There is a group in the Masjid who publicise us (asws) and publicise themselves. They are neither from us (asws) nor are we (asws) from them. I (asws) rush away and hide, but they still uncover my (asws) veil. May Allah (azwj) violate their veil. They are saying that I (asws) am the Imam (asws), but, by Allah (azwj), I (asws) am not an Imam (asws) except for the one who obeys me (asws). So as for the one who disobeys me (asws), I (asws) am not an Imam (asws) for him. Why are they attaching themselves to my (asws) name, and not refraining from mentioning my (asws) name from their mouths? By Allah (azwj), may He (azwj) not Gather me (asws) and them in one abode’.

So their poetic slogan shouters descended and they were shouting their poetic slogans, and Talib Bin Abu Talib (as) descended and shouted a poetic slogan saying, ‘O Lord (azwj)! But they are invading (militarily) with Talib, in a group from these groups, so Make him to be in a group which gets overcome and flees, which gets crucified without a crucifier, and Make him to be overcome without him overcoming’. So the Qureysh said, ‘This one will make us to be defeated, so send him back’. (And in another report from Abu Abdullah (asws) is that he was a Muslim (by then)’.

    عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ فَيْضِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) كَيْفَ تَقْرَأُ وَ عَلَى الثَّلاثَةِ الَّذِينَ خُلِّفُوا قَالَ لَوْ كَانَ خُلِّفُوا لَكَانُوا فِي حَالِ طَاعَةٍ وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ خَالَفُوا عُثْمَانُ وَ صَاحِبَاهُ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَمِعُوا صَوْتَ حَافِرٍ وَ لَا قَعْقَعَةَ حَجَرٍ إِلَّا قَالُوا أُتِينَا فَسَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَوْفَ حَتَّى أَصْبَحُوا.

    567. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al-Sanady, from Ja’far Bin Basheer, rom Fayz Bin Al-Mukhtar, who has narrated the following: ‘I said to Abu Abdullah (asws), ‘How do you (asws) read “[9:118] And to the three who were left behind”. He (asws) said; ‘Had they been left behind (Khulifu), they would be in a state of obedience. But, they opposed (Khaalafu) – Usman and his two companions (Abu Bakr and Umar). But, by Allah (azwj), they did not hear the sound of hooves, or the rumble of the pebbles except that they said, ‘They are coming for us!’ Allah (azwj) Made fear to overcome them until the morning’.

    568. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has said: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘Are you (asws) reciting: “[9:112] They who repent (Al-Ta’iboun), who serve (Al-Abidoun)”?’ So he (asws) said: ‘No. Recite “Al-Ta’ibeen Al-Abideen” upto the end of it’. So I asked about the reason for that, he (asws) said: ‘He (azwj) Bought from the Believers (their own selves), the repentant (and) the worshippers’.

    571. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid and Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Ammar Bin Suweyd who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying regarding this Verse: “[11:12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it because they say: Why has not a treasure been sent down upon him or an angel come with him?”, When the Rasool Allah (saww) encamped at Qudeyd and said to Ali (asws): ‘O Ali (asws)! I (saww) asked my (saww) Lord (azwj) to Establish friendship between me (asws) and you (asws), so He (azwj) Did it. And I (saww) asked my (saww) Lord (azwj) to Establish brotherhood between me (saww) and you (asws), so he (azwj) Did it. And I (saww) asked my (saww) Lord (azwj) to Make you (asws) to be my (saww) successor, so He (azwj) Did it. Two men (Abu Bakr and Umar) from Qureysh said, ‘By Allah (azwj)! A Sa’a (unit of measurement) of dates in a basket is more beloved to us than what Muhammad (saww) asked his (saww) Lord (azwj) for. So, had he (saww) asked his (saww) Lord (azwj) for an Angel to support him (saww) against his (saww) enemies, or a treasure to make us to be needless by it from the hunger. By Allah (azwj)! He (saww) does not supplicate to Him (azwj), be it true or false, but that He (azwj) Answers him (saww)’. So Allah (azwj), Glorious and High Revealed: “[11:12] Then, it may be that you will give up part of what is revealed to you and your breast will become straitened by it” – up to the end of the Verse’.

    573. Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Ali Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Shimr, from Jabir, who has narrated the following: ‘Abu Ja’far (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[42:23] and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein”, said; ‘The one who befriends (Tawalla) the successors (asws) from the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww), and follows their (asws) footsteps, so that increases for him the Wilayah of the ones from the past from the Prophets (as), and the former Believers until their Wilayah arrives to Adam (as), and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) “[27:89] Whoever brings good, he shall have better than it”, He (azwj) will Enter him into the Paradise, and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj): “[34:47] Say: Whatever reward I have asked of you, that is only for yourselves”. He (saww) is saying that the reward is the cordiality which I (saww) never asked for anything other than it, so it is for you to be guided by it, and to be Rescued by it from the Punishment on the Day of Judgement’. And he (saww) said to the enemies of Allah (azwj), the friends of Satan (la), the people of the belying and the denial: “[38:86] Say: "No reward do I ask of you for this, nor am I a pretender”. He (saww) is saying; ‘I (saww) would be a pretender if I (saww) were to ask you what you are not deserving of’. So the hypocrites said to each other, with regards to that, ‘But it did not suffice Muhammad (saww) after having conquered us for twenty years, to the extent that he (saww) now wants to burden us with the People (asws) of his (saww) Household upon our necks’. So they said, ‘Allah (azwj) has not Revealed this, nor is it anything except for his (saww) words, intending to raise the People (asws) of his (saww) Household upon our necks, and if Muhammad (saww) were to be killed or dies, we would take it (rule) away from the People (asws) of his (saww) Household, then we would not let it return to be among them ever’. And Allah (azwj) Wanted to let know His (azwj) Prophet (saww) of that which was hidden in their chests and what they were keeping as a secret. So He (azwj) Said in His (azwj) Book: “[42:24] Or do they say: He has forged a lie against Allah? But if Allah pleased, He would seal your heart”. He (azwj) is Saying: “Had I (azwj) so Liked to, I (azwj) would have Stopped the Revelation, so you (saww) would not have been able to speak of the virtues of the People (asws) of your (saww) Household, or of their cordiality”. And Allah (azwj) has Said: “[42:24] And Allah will wipe out the lie and will vindicate the truth by His words” He (azwj) is Saying that the truth is the Wilayah for the People (asws) of the Household “Lo! He is Aware of what is hidden in the breasts”, and is Speaking of what is attached in their chests from the enmity to the People (asws) of the Household, and the injustices after you (saww), and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[21:3] and those who are unjust counsel together in secret: He is nothing but a mortal like yourselves; what! will you then yield to enchantment while you see?” And regarding the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[53:1] I swear by the star when it goes down He (asws) said; ‘(It means) I (azwj) Swear by the passing away of Muhammad (saww) when he (saww) passes away [53:2] Your companion does not err, in giving out the virtues of the People (asws) of his (saww) Household nor does he go astray; [53:3] Nor does he speak out of desire. He (azwj) is Saying that he (saww) does not speak of the virtues of the People (asws) of his (saww) Household out of his (saww) own desires, and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic [53:4] It is naught but revelation that is revealed”. And Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said to Muhammad (saww): “[6:58] Say: If that which you desire to hasten were with me, the matter would have certainly been decided between you and me”. He (saww) said: ‘Had I (saww) been Commanded to, I (saww) would have informed you all of what you are hiding in your chests of the hastening of my (saww) passing away, so that you would perpetrate injustices to the People (asws) of my (saww) Household from after me (saww). So the example of yours in as Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[2:17] Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him”, He (azwj) is Saying; “Illumination of the earth by the light of Muhammad (saww) just like the illumination of the sun”. So Allah (azwj) Cited an example of Muhammad (saww) with the sun, and an example of the successor (asws) with the moon, and it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[10:5] He it is Who made the sun a shining brightness and the moon a light”, and His (azwj) Statement: “[36:37] And a sign to them is the night: We draw forth from it the day, then lo! they are in the dark”, and the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[2:17] Their parable is like the parable of one who kindled a fire but when it had illumined all around him, Allah took away their light, and left them in utter darkness - they do not see”, meaning, the passing away of Muhammad (saww) and the appearance of the darkness, so they cannot see the virtues of the People (asws) of his (saww) Household, and it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[7:198] And if you invite them to guidance, they do not hear; and you see them looking towards you, yet they do not see”. Then the Rasool Allah (saww) placed the knowledge which was with him (saww) to be with the successor (asws), and it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[24:35] Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth, He (azwj) is Saying: “I (azwj) am the Guide of the Heavens and the earth, like the Knowledge which I (azwj) Gave out, and it is My (azwj) Light with which I (azwj) Guide by a likeness of His light is as a niche in which is a lamp, so the niche is the heart of Muhammad (saww), and the lamp is the Light in which is the Knowledge. And His (azwj) Statement the lamp is in a glass, He (azwj) is Saying: “I (azwj) Wanted to Make you (saww) pass away, and Make that which is in your presence to be with the successor (asws) just as the lamp is made to be in a glass, (and) the glass is as it were a brightly shining star, lit from a blessed tree”. So the origin of the Blessed Tree is Ibrahim (as) and it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[11:73] The mercy of Allah and His blessings are on you, O people of the house, surely He is Praised, Glorious”. And it is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[3:33] Surely Allah chose Adam and Nuh and the descendants of Ibrahim and the descendants of Imran above the nations [3:34] Offspring one of the other; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing”. “[24:35] neither eastern nor western”. He (azwj) is saying: “You are neither Jews so that you Pray in the direction of the west, nor are you Christians, so that you Pray in the direction of the east, but you are the nation of Ibrahim (as)”, and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[3:67] Ibrahim was not a Jew nor a Christian but he was (an) upright (man), a Muslim, and he was not one of the polytheists”. And it is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[24:35] the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not - light upon light - Allah guides to His light whom He pleases”, He (azwj) is Saying: “The example of your children whom you give birth to from among you, is like the example of the oil which comes out from the olive, “[24:35] the oil whereof almost gives light though fire touch it not - light upon light - Allah guides to His light whom He pleases”. He (azwj) is saying that they almost speak with the Prophet-hood even though an Angel has not descended upon them’.

So I said to him, (What about) “until it will become quite clear to them that it is the truth”?’ He (asws) said: ‘The coming out of Al-Qaim (asws), it is the truth from the Presence of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic which the creatures will see, it is inevitable’.

    575. Muhammad Bin Yahya, and Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, together from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Ahmad Bin Ismail, from Amro Bin Kaysan, from Abu Abdullah Al-Ju’fy who said: ‘Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali (asws) said to me: ‘How many Rabaat (guards) are there in your presence?’ I said, ‘Forty’. He (asws) said: ‘But our (asws) guards are eternal guards. The ones who is a guard amongst us who looks after an animal, there will be for him its weight, and the weight of its (animal) weight so long as it was with him. And the one who is a guard amongst us with weapon would have its weight so long as it was with him. Do not grieve from once, or twice, or three times, or four, for our example and your example is like the example of the Prophet (as) who was in the Children of Israel. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed to him (as): “If you (as) prepare your (as) people for the fighting, I (azwj) will Help you (as)’. So he (as) gathered them from the top of the mountains and from other places (other) than that. Then he (as) directed them for it. So they neither struck with their swords, nor did they stab with their spears until they were defeated. Then Allah (azwj) Revealed to him: “If you (as) prepare your (as) people for the fighting, I (azwj) will Help you (as)”. So he (as) called them. They said, ‘You promised us the Help, but no Help came to us’. So Allah (azwj) the High Revealed to him (as): “But, they can either choose to fight or the Fire’. So he (as) said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! The fighting is more beloved to me (as) than the Fire’. So he (as) called upon them, and three hundred and thirteen of them answered him (as), the same number of the people of Badr. So he (as) directed them (for the battle). They neither struck with their swords, nor stabbed with their spears, until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Granted victory to them’.

A vein in his head which incites the leprosy, and a vein in his body which incites the vitiligo. So if the vein in the head gets incited, Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Makes the flu to overcome it until the illness flows out from it. And if the vein which is in the body gets incited, Allah (azwj) Makes it to be overcome by the abscesses until the illness flows out from it. So if one of you sees the flu and abscesses, so he should Praise Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic for the health’. And he (asws) said; ‘Flu has origin in the head’.

So he took something out from it. He said, ‘O Abu Abdullah (asws), do you (asws) know what this is?’ I (asws) said: ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘This is something that has come to me from behind Africa, from Tanjat, (or Tabnat, Muhammad (the narrator doubted). So I (asws) said: ‘What is it?’ He said, ‘There is a mountain there from which drops come out in a year and solidify, and it is best for the whiteness which occurs in the eyes, if this is applied to them, it would go away by the Permission of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. I (asws) said, ‘Yes, I recognise it, and if you like I can inform you of its name and its condition’. He (asws) said: ‘He never asked me (asws) about its name’. He said, ‘And what is its condition?’ So I (asws) said: ‘This is a mountain on which was a Prophet (as) from the sons of the Children of Israel, who had fled from his (as) people, and he (as) used to worship upon it. So the people came to know about it, and they killed him. So it (mountain) now weeps over that Prophet (as), and these are the drops from its weeping. And on the other side of it is a spring from which the water flows by the night and the day, but it does not arrive to that fountain (of tears)’.

    583. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, fromm Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from the one who informed him, the following: ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘There was a worshipper in the Children of Israel who never got involved with anything from the affairs of the world. Iblees (la) grunted a grunt, and his (la) army gathered towards him (la). So he (la) said, ‘Who is the one for me (la) for that one?’ One of them said, ‘I am for him’. So he (la) said, ‘From where you will come to him?’ He said, ‘From the aspect of the women’. He (la) said, ‘This is not for him. He will never be tempted by the women’. Another one said to him (la), ‘I will be for him’. So he (la) said, ‘From where will you come to him?’ He said, ‘From the aspect of the drink and the pleasures’. He (la) said, ‘This is not for him. This cannot be by this’. Another one said, ‘I will be for him’. He (la) said, ‘From where will you come to him?’ From the aspect of the righteousness’. So he (la) said, ‘Go, for you are the master of it’. So he went to the place of the man. He settled himself near him and Prayed. He (asws) said: ‘And the man used to sleep, and the Devil would not sleep, and he would rest, and the Devil would not rest. So the man turned towards him and belittled himself, and considered his deeds as short and small, so he said, ‘O servant of Allah (azwj)! With what thing do you get your strength from to perform these Prayers?’ He did not answer him. Then he repeated to him. He still did not answer him. Then he repeated it again to him, so he said, ‘O servant of Allah (azwj)! I committed a sin, and I am repentant from it. So now whenever I remember the sin, it gives me strength for the ‘Salat’ (Prayers)’. He said, ‘Inform be about your sin until I understand it, and I can repent if I were to commit it in order to derive strength for the Prayers’. He said, ‘Enter the city and ask around for so and so female prostitute. Give her two Dirhams, and benefit from her’. He said, ‘I do not know where I would get two Dirhams from?’ So the Devil took two Dirhams from under his feet and gave these to him. So he stood up and entered the city wearing his robe, asking around for the house of that prostitute. The people guided him thinking that he is going there to advise her, so they guided him. So he went to her and threw the two Dirhams at her and said, ‘Stand up’. So she stood up and entered inside her house, and she said, ‘Enter, and you have come to me in a dress which no one has come to me wearing the like of it. So, inform me of your news’. So he informed her. She said to him, ‘O servant of Allah (azwj)! The avoidance of sin is easier than repenting for it, and every repentant person does not find it (Accepted). But rather, it is befitting that he is a Devil who looks like you. So leave, for you will not see anything’. So he left, and she died that very night, and there was found written on her door, ‘Be cautious of this one, for she is from the inhabitants of the Paradise!’ The people became suspicious, so they waited for three days and did not bury her due to their doubts in her matter. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto a Prophet (as) from the Prophets (as) unknown to anyone except for Musa Bin Imran (as) that: “Go to her and Pray over her and order the people to Prayed over her, for I (azwj) have Forgiven her, and Obligated the Paradise for her, for her discouraging My (azwj) servant from disobeying Me (azwj)’.

    584. Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Zurara, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) has said: ‘There used to be a man in the Children of Israel, who was a worshipper who was a derived person. Whenever he turned his attention to anything, he would achieve nothing from it. So his wife used to spend on him until there was nothing left. So there came a day from the days when she handed over to him a spinning blade and said to him, ‘There is nothing else in my possession apart from it, so go and sell it, and buy for us something to eat’. So he went with the spinning blade for selling it. He found the market to be closed, but found two prospective buyers. He stood by them, but they were not interested and left. So he said (to himself), ‘If I could come to this water, I could perform ablution from it and bathe in it’, and he left. He came up to the sea shore and there was a fisherman there who had cast his net. When he pulled it out, there was nothing in it except for one fish which had turned soft and rotten. So he said to him, ‘Sell me this fish and I will give you this blade which you can benefit by with your fishing net. He said, ‘Yes’. So he took the fish and handed over the blade to him, and left with the fish to his house. He informed his wife of the news, so she took the fish in order to prepare it. When she sliced it open, a pearl came out from the middle of it. So his wife called him and showed it to him. He took it with him and went to the market. He sold it for twenty thousand Dirhams, and left for his house with the wealth. He placed it therein. Then a beggar came and knocked on the door and said, ‘O people of the house, give charity to a poor one, Allah (azwj) will have Mercy upon you’. The man said, ‘Enter’. So he entered. He said, ‘Take one of the two bags’. So he took one of them and left. So his wife said to him, ‘Glory be to Allah (azwj)! As soon as we have ease, half of it goes away from us’. No sooner had she said that, the beggar knocked on the door. The man said to him, ‘Enter’. So he came and placed the bag back in its place, then said, ‘Congratulations! Eat it rightfully. But rather, I am an Angel from the Angels of your Lord (azwj). Your Lord (azwj) Wanted to Try you, so He (azwj) found you to be appreciative’. Then he left’.

    585. Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Sa’d Bin Al-Munzar Bin Muhammad, from his father, from his grandfather, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from his grandfather, from his father who said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) gave a sermon’. (And someone else has also reported it without the above chain and mentioned that he (asws) gave the sermon as Zeeqaar). So he (asws) Praised Allah (azwj) and Extolled Him (azwj), then said: ‘Having said that, Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Sent Muhammad (saww) to take His (azwj) servants out from worshipping His (azwj) servants to worship Him (azwj), and from the covenants of His (azwj) servants to His (azwj) Covenant, and from obedience to His (azwj) servants to be in obedience to Him (azwj), and from the Wilayah of His (azwj) servants to His (azwj) Wilayah by good news and warnings. And he (saww) called to Allah (azwj) by His (azwj) Permission, and was an illuminating lamp, promising, and beginning, and excusing, and warning by the Judgements that he (saww) had decided, and decided what he (saww) had judged, and a Criterion which differentiated, and a Quran which Proved Him (azwj), so the servants would come to know their Lord (azwj) which they were ignorant of, and accept by it which they struggled against, and Establish Him (azwj) after having denied Him (azwj). So He (azwj) illustrated to them His (azwj) Glory in His (azwj) Book without them having seen Him (azwj). So he (azwj) Showed them His (azwj) Forbearance, how He (azwj) Forbears, and Showed them His (azwj) Forgiveness how He (azwj) Forgives, and Showed them His (azwj) Power and how Powerful He (azwj) is, and Frightened them from His (azwj) Authority, and how He (azwj) Created what He (azwj) Created from the Signs, and how He (azwj) Destroys the one whom He (azwj) Destroys from the disobeyers by the examples. And how he (azwj) Repelled the one whom He (azwj) repelled by the Torments, and how he (azwj) Sustained and Guided, and Granted, and Showed them His (azwj) Wisdom how Wise He (azwj) is, and Patient until they heard what they heard and saw. So Allah (azwj) Sent Muhammad (saww) with that. Then there will come upon you, from after me (asws) an era, and there will be nothing in that era which will be more hidden than the truth, nor anything more apparent than the falsehood, and nothing more numerous than the lies against Allah (azwj) the High and His (azwj) Messenger (saww). And there will be nothing in that era which will be more worthless than the Book when it is recited as it deserves to be recited, nor anything more worthy of selling and expensive in price than the Book if it is altered from its places. And there will be nothing in the servants nor in the cities anything which is more prevented than the good nor anything more recognised than the evil. And there will be nothing considered to be more immoral and evil, and no worse penalty than for the guidance in the presence of misguidance. During that era, those who bear the Book will be rejected and the memorizers will forget to the extent that they will interpret it in accordance with their own desires, and they would have inherited that from their forefathers, and they will act with alterations in the Book, lying and rejecting. So they will sell it for a cheap price, and they would be from the ascetics. So the Book and the People of the Book during that era would be two castaway fugitives, and two accompanying companions in one road not finding any protector or shelter. They are both good for each other and Whom (azwj) they work for. So the Book and the People of the Book during that era would be in the people but not be among (part of) them, and will be with them but still not be with them, and that is because the misguidance is not in harmony with the guidance. And if they meet, and the people would have met upon the sectarianism, and would separate from the group. They would give the rule of the matters of their Religion to the one who acts with regards to them by plotting, and the evil, and the bribery, and the murder, as if they are the imams (leaders) of the Book then the Book is not their imam (leading them). There will not remain in their possession from the truth except for its name, and they will not recognise anything from the Book except for its calligraphy and design. The entering one will enter (the religion) when he hears for the Judgements of the Quran, but he will not be satisfied in gatherings until he exits from the Religion. He will transfer from a Religion of a king to a Religion of a king, and from the wilayah of a king to a wilayah of a king, and from obedience of a king to the obedience of a king, and from the covenant of a king to a covenant of a king. So Allah (azwj) Lures them away from where they do not know, with good expectations and the hope until they give birth in the disobedience, and they make a religion with the tyranny, and the Book did not benefit them anything, and they will be wandering and straying, for they would have made a religion without the Religion of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and for the sake of other than Allah (azwj). Their Masjid during that era would be constructed from misguidance, ruination of guidance. So its reciters and its builders would be the most failed ones among the creatures of Allah (azwj) and His (azwj) creatures. It is from their presence that misguidance would flow and return back to them. Thus, presence in their Masjids, and walking towards them would be blasphemy (Kufr) with Allah (azwj) the Magnificent, except for the one who walks towards it while being aware of their misguidance. Therefore, due to their actions upon that way, their Masjids would have become ruination of the guidance, and well-built in the misguidance, for the Sunnah of Allah (azwj) would have been changed, and His (azwj) Limits transgressed against. They will not be calling to the guidance, nor distribution the booty (Al-Fey), nor fulfilling the responsibilities. They will be calling the one from among them who would be killed upon that as a martyr, thus forging a lie against Allah (azwj), and the struggle, and they would be needless from the knowledge due to their ignorance, and from before they mutilated the righteous ones with every mutilation, and named their truthfulness to Allah (azwj) as libel, and apply the punishment for the sins to the good deeds. And Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Sent to you all a Messenger (saww) from yourselves. It grieves him (saww) to see you suffering, and he (saww) is kind and merciful to the Believers. And He (azwj) Revealed upon him (saww) a Mighty Book. “[41:42] Falsehood shall not come to it from before it nor from behind it; a revelation from the Wise, the Praised One” “[39:28] An Arabic Quran without any crookedness, that they may guard (against evil)” “[36:70] That it may warn him who would have life, and (that) the word may prove true against the unbelievers”. So do not let your hopes to distract you, nor consider the term (of life) to be prolonged, for the ones before you were destroyed for having long hopes against their approaching deadline until the Promised time (of death) descended upon them, and repulsed from them the excuses, and raised from them the repentance, and brought with it the calamity and the resentment. And Allah (azwj) has Preached to you with the Promise, and Made Decisive for you the speech, and Taught you the Sunnah, and Explained for you the Program to remove the illness, and Urged upon the Remembrance, and Evidence to the Salvation. And the one who act for the sake of Allah (azwj) and take His (azwj) Words as Evidence, would be Guided until he is strong, and Made to understand the right way, and Guided and facilitated to the good. So the one under the Protection of Allah (azwj) is safely preserved, and His (azwj) enemies would be in fearful and pretentious. So be cautious of Allah (azwj) through the frequency of the Remembrance, and be fearful from Him (azwj) by the piety, and get closer to Him (azwj) by the obedience, for He (azwj) is Close by and Answers. Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said: “[2:186] And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near; I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me, so they should answer My call and believe in Me that they may walk in the right way”. So you must respond to Allah (azwj) and believe in Him (azwj), and Magnify Allah (azwj). It does not befit one who recognises the Greatness of Allah (azwj) to consider himself as significant. So the highest of the recognition of the Greatness of Allah (azwj) is being modest to Him (azwj), and the highest honour of the one who knows the Majesty of Allah (azwj) is to be humble to Him (azwj), and the most secure is the one who knows the Power of Allah (azwj) and submits to Him (azwj). So you will not be denying yourselves after the Guidance of the understanding, nor will you be going astray after the Guidance. So do not flee from the truth like the fleeing of the healthy ones from the one with the scabies, and the healthy ones from the sick. And know that you will never recognise the guidance until you recognise the ones who have left it, and will never take to the Covenant of the Book until you recognise the ones who broke it, and will never attach yourselves to it until you recognise the ones who have abandoned it, and will never be able to recite the Book as it deserves to be recited until you recognise the ones who altered it, and will never recognise the misguidance until you recognise the Guidance, and will never recognise the piety until you recognise the ones who abused it. So when you recognise that, you will recognise the innovations, and the impersonations, and you will see the fabrications against Allah (azwj) and against His (azwj) Messenger (saww), and the alterations to His (azwj) book, and you will see how Allah (azwj) Guided the one whom He (azwj) Guided. So do not let those who have no knowledge keep you ignorant. The Knowledge of the Quran cannot be known as to what it is except by the one (asws) who has tasted its food. So it was by the knowledge that his ignorance got to know, and his blindness got to visualise, and his deafness got to hear, and gained awareness of what knowledge had passed by and got revived by it after its death. And he established the good deeds in the Presence of Allah (azwj) and deleted the sins by it. And it was by it (knowledge) that he realised the Pleasure from Allah (azwj) Blessed and High. So, seek that from its special people, for they (asws) are the specialists, lights to be illuminated by, and the Imams (asws) to be followed. And they (asws) are the life for the knowledge and death for the ignorance. They (asws) are the ones (asws) whose Judgements inform you of their (asws) knowledge, and their (asws) silence about their (asws) speech, and their (asws) apparent about their (asws) hidden. They (asws) do not oppose the religion nor do they (asws) differ with regards to it. For it (knowledge) is a truthful witness between them (asws), and a silent speaker. It is from their (asws) glories to testify to the truth, and to be truthful reporters, neither opposing the truth nor differing with regards to it. The Precedence is for them (asws) from Allah (azwj), and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Passed a Truthful Judgement for them (asws). And in that is a reminder for the speakers. So bear in mind the truth if you hear it with a caring mind and not with a narrative mind, for the narrators of the Book are many, and its guardians are few. And Allah (azwj) is the Best Supporter’.

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Umar Bin Ali, from his uncle Muhammad Bin Umar, from Ibn Azina who said, ‘I heard Umar Bin Yazeed saying, ‘Narrated to me Ma’rouf Bin Kharbouz, who has said: ‘Ali Bin Al-Husayn (asws) was saying: ‘Woe be unto a mother who defends the one who does not cease to sin! Woe be unto a mother of an immoral one who does not cease to dispute! Woe be unto a mother of a sinner, one who speaks a lot regarding other than Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic!’

    أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ لَمَّا اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا أَتَاهُ بُشْرَاهُ بِالْخَلَّةِ فَجَاءَهُ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فِي صُورَةِ شَابٍّ أَبْيَضَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوْبَانِ أَبْيَضَانِ يَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً وَ دُهْناً فَدَخَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) الدَّارَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ خَارِجاً مِنَ الدَّارِ وَ كَانَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) رَجُلًا غَيُوراً وَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ فِي حَاجَةٍ أَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ وَ أَخَذَ مِفْتَاحَهُ مَعَهُ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَفَتَحَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ قَائِمٍ أَحْسَنَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ فَأَخَذَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَ قَالَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَدْخَلَكَ دَارِي فَقَالَ رَبُّهَا أَدْخَلَنِيهَا فَقَالَ رَبُّهَا أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنِّي فَمَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ أَنَا مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ فَفَزِعَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ جِئْتَنِي لِتَسْلُبَنِي رُوحِي قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنِ اتَّخَذَ اللَّهُ عَبْداً خَلِيلًا فَجِئْتُ لِبِشَارَتِهِ قَالَ فَمَنْ هُوَ لَعَلِّي أَخْدُمُهُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ قَالَ أَنْتَ هُوَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى سَارَةَ (عليها السلام) فَقَالَ لَهَا إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا.

    588. Aban Bin Usman, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from the one who reported it: ‘Abu Ja’far (asws) has said: ‘When Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Took Ibrahim (as) as a friend, Gave him (as) good news in private. The Angel of Death came up to him (as) in the image of a young white man, wearing two white robes, with water and oil dripping from his head. So Ibrahim (as) entered the house, but welcomed him outside the house. And Ibrahim (as) was an honourable (Ghayour) man, and whenever he (as) went out for a need, he (as) would lock his (as) door, and takes its keys with him (as). Then he (as) would return and open it. So there was the man (Angel of Death) standing there, as handsome as a man can be. So he (as) grabbed his hand and said: ‘O servant of Allah (azwj), who entered you into my (as) house?’ He said: ‘Its Lord (azwj) Made me enter it’. So he (as) said: ‘Its Lord (azwj) is more deserving of it than I (as) am. So who are you?’ He said: ‘I am the Angel of death’. Ibrahim (as) panicked and said: ‘You have come to me (as) to capture my (as) soul?’ He said: ‘No. Allah (azwj) has Taken a servant as a friend, so I have come to give the good news to him (as). He (as) said: ‘So who is he (as)? I (as) would like to serve him (as) until I (as) die’. He said: ‘You (as) are him (as)’. So he (as) came up to Sara and said to her: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Taken me (as) as a friend!’

So Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘So who is this man?’ The Angel said to him: ‘And what do you (as) want from him (as)?’ So Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘I (as) will serve him (as) for the days of my (as) life’. The Angel said to him (as): ‘You (as) are him (as)’.

    590. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al-Thumaly, who has said: ‘Abu Ja’far (asws) said that: ‘One day Ibrahim (as) went out on a journey by a camel, so he (as) passed by a desert from the earth and there was a man who was standing in Prayer whose length had blocked the sky from the earth, and his clothing was his hair. Ibrahim (as) paused by him and was astounded from him and sat down awaiting him to be free from his Prayer. So when it became prolonged, he (as) moved him with his (as) hand and said to him; ‘I (as) have a need, so shorten it’. He (asws) said: ‘So the man shortened it and sat with Ibrahim (as). Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘Who are you Praying to?’ He said, ‘To the God of Ibrahim (as)’. He (as) said to him: ‘And Who is the God of Ibrahim (as)?’ He said, ‘The One Who (azwj) Created me’. Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘You have caused me (as) to wonder, and I (as) would love to make you a brother for the Sake of Allah (azwj). Where is your house, if I (as) intend to visit you and meet you?’ The man said to him, ‘My house is behind this drop’ – and he indicated by his hand to the sea, ‘and my Prayer Place is this place. You (as) will see me here if you (as) want me, Allah (azwj) Willing’. He (asws) said: ‘Then the man said to Ibrahim (as), ‘You (as) have a need?’. So Ibrahim (as) said: ‘Yes’. He said to him (as), ‘And what is it?’ He (as) said, ‘Supplicate to Allah (azwj) and I (as) shall say ‘Ameen’ to your supplication, and I (as) will supplicate and you say ‘Ameen’ over my supplication’. So the man said, ‘So what is it that we are supplicating for to Allah (azwj)?’ Ibrahim (as) said: ‘For the sinner from the Believers’. So the man said, ‘No’. Ibrahim (as) said: ‘And why not?’ He said, ‘Because I have been supplicating to Allah (azwj) for the past three years with a supplication, I have never seen its Answer until now, and I am ashamed from Allah (azwj) the High that I should supplicate (for more) until I know that He (azwj) has Answered me’. Ibrahim (as) said: ‘So what is it that you supplicated for?’ The man said to him (as), ‘I was in this Prayer Place one day when a young boy passed by and I saw a wonderful light emerging from his (as) forehead and two locks of hair behind him (as), and with him (as) were cows that he (as) was herding as if they had been painted with oil, and sheep which he (as) was herding as if they were energetic and healthy. What I saw astounded me, so I said to him (as), ‘O young boy! To whom do these cows and sheep belong to?’ He (as) said to me: ‘To Ibrahim (as)’. So I said, ‘And who are you (as)?’ He (as) said: ‘I (as) am Ismail Bin Ibrahim (as), friend of the Beneficent’. So I supplicated to Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and asked Him (azwj) to Show me His (azwj) friend’. Ibrahim (as) said to him: ‘So I (as) am Ibrahim (as), friend of the Beneficent, and that young boy is my (as) son (as)’. The man said to him (as) due to that, ‘The Praise is due to Allah (azwj) Who Answered my supplication’. Then the man kissed the two eyes of Ibrahim (as) and his (as) neck, then said, ‘But now, arise and supplicate until I say ‘Ameen’ over your supplication’. So Ibrahim (as) for the believing men, and the believing women, and the sinners from that day, to be Forgiven, and Allah (azwj) to be pleased with them. And the man said ‘Ameen’ over that supplication. Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘So the supplication of Ibrahim (as) will reach the Believers, the sinners from our (asws) Shites up to the Day of Judgement’.

    591. Ali Bin Muhammad, from one of his companions, with an unbroken chain, said: ‘Whenever Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) used to recite this Verse: “[16:18] And if you would count Allah’s favours, you will not be able to number them”, he (asws) would say: ‘Glory be to the One Who (azwj) never Made it to be in anyone the recognition of His (azwj) Favours except for the recognition falling short of (Al-Taqseer) recognising, just as He (azwj) has never Made it to be in anyone the recognition of being aware of Him (azwj) more than the knowledge that He (azwj) cannot be perceived. So gratitude be to the Majestic and Mighty for the recognition of the recognisers by their reduced recognition as appreciation, so He (azwj) Made their reduced recognition as an expression of gratitude, just as He (azwj) Knows that the knowledge of the knowledgeable people would not be able to perceived Him (azwj), so He (azwj) made Belief as knowledge from it, so they cannot exceed that. So no one from His (azwj) creatures can reach the limit of worshipping Him (azwj), and how can one reach the limit of worship of the One Who (azwj) has no Limits for Him (azwj), impossible! Allah (azwj) is Higher than that, Exalted and Great’.

    592. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hisham, from Anbasat Bin Bajaad Al-Abid, from Jabir, who has said: ‘We were in the presence Abu Ja’far (asws), and the authority of the Clan of Umayya was mentioned, so Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘No one comes out (rebels) against Hisham except that he gets killed’. ‘And he (asws) also mentioned that his government would last for twenty years’. He (the narrator) said, ‘That grieved us’. So he (asws) said: ‘What is the matter with you? Whenever Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Intends to Destroy the authority of a people, He (azwj) Commands the Angel to quicken the pace of the orbit in accordance to what He (azwj) Intends to’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So we said to Zayd, ‘This is the discussion we had’. So he said, ‘I witnessed Hisham, and the Rasool Allah (saww) was insulted in his presence, so he neither denied that, nor did he change it. By Allah (azwj)! Even if there is no one except for myself and my son, I would come out (in rebellion) against him’.

Abu Abdullah (asws) sympathised and tears flowed from his (asws) eyes. So I said to him (asws), ‘I saw you (asws) doing something what you never did for anyone before’.

He (asws) said: ‘They were a people who live in two inter-connected villages and were able to see each other, and rivers which flowed, and phenomenal wealth. They denied the Favours of Allah (azwj) and changed what was in themselves, so Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Sent the flood of Al-Aram against them. Their two villages were submerged, and their houses were spoilt, and their wealth was gone. It changed their plantations into two plantations to be only with the edible plants of bitter tamarisk (a troublesome weed) and a few Lutus trees. Then Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said: “[34:17] This We requited them with because they disbelieved; and We do not punish any but the ungrateful”.

Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Washa’, from Abu Baseer, from Ahmad Bin Umar who said: ‘Abu Ja’far (asws) said, when a man came up to him (asws), so he said to him (asws), ‘You (asws) all are the People (asws) of the Household of Mercy which Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Specialised you (asws) all with’. He (asws) said: ‘That is what we (asws) are, and the Praise is due to Allah (azwj) that we (asws) do not enter anyone into misguidance, nor do we (asws) take anyone out of Guidance. The world will not end until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic would Send a man (asws) from us (asws) the People (asws) of the Household, who (asws) will act by the Book of Allah (azwj). He (asws) will not see any evil among you all except that he (asws) will forbid it’.
