This is part 5 of 12 of “The Garden (ar-Rawda)”, book 33 of Al-Kafi — Hadith 13,844–13,893. The book is long enough that it is split across 12 pages so each one stays quick to load; the parts run in order and are linked at the foot of the page.
201. Ali, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Al-Kunary who said: ‘It was narrated to us with an unbroken chain going up to Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding His (azwj) Statement, Mighty is His (azwj) Mention: “[65:2] and whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah, He will make for him an outlet [65:3] And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine”. He (asws) said: ‘These are our (asws) weak Shites who do not have the means in order to take it (directly) from us (asws). So they hear our (asws) Hadeeth and they try to accumulate from our (asws) Knowledge. A people who are higher than them, who spend their wealth, tiring their bodies to the extent that they came up to us (asws), hear our (asws) Hadeeth and transmit these to them. So these ones preserve them, whilst those ones waste them. So they are the ones for whom Allah (azwj) Mighty is His (azwj) Mention Makes an outlet for them and Gives them Sustenance (Hadeeth) from a source which they had not even considered beforehand. And with regards to the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[88:1] Has not there come to you the news of the overwhelming calamity?” he (asws) said; ‘These are the ones who have cheated the Imam (asws)’ – up to the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[88:7] Which will neither nourish nor satisfy hunger”, said: ‘It will neither benefit them, nor free them from needs, nor will it benefit them with the entering (marital relationships), nor free them from the need of sitting down (from begging for more)’.
202. From him, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn, from Ali Bin Abu hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[58:7] Nowhere is there a secret counsel between three persons but He is the fourth of them, nor (between) five but He is the sixth of them, nor less than that nor more but He is with them wheresoever they are; then He will inform them of what they did on the day of resurrection: surely Allah is Cognizant of all things”. He (asws) said; ‘This was Revealed regarding so and so and so and so (Abu Bakr and Umar), and Abu Ubeyda Ibn Al-Jarrah, and Abdul Rahman Ibn Awf, and Saalim Mawla Abu Huzeyfa, and Al-Mugheira Bin Sho’ba, when they wrote the agreement in between them and took a pledge and agreed that if Muhammad (saww) were to pass away, they would not let the Caliphate to be in the Clan of Hashim, nor the Prophet-hood ever. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed this Verse with regards to them. I said, ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[43:79] Or have they settled an affair? Then surely, We are the settlers. [43:80] Or do they think that We do not hear what they conceal and their secret discourses? Indeed (We do), and Our messengers are by them, to record”. He (asws) said: ‘And these two Verse were Revealed regarding them on that day’. Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Hopefully you will see that is was a day resembling the day of the writing of the agreement except for the day Al-Husayn (asws) was martyred, and thus it had preceded in the Knowledge of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic which He (azwj) Made known to the Rasool Allah (saww) that when the agreement is written down, Al-Husayn (asws) would be martyred, and the kingdom would exit from the Clan of Hashim. So all of that did take place. I said, ‘The Verse: “[49:9] And if two parties of the believers quarrel, make peace between them; but if one of them acts wrongfully towards the other, fight that which acts wrongfully until it returns to Allah’s command; then if it returns, make peace between them with justice and act equitably; surely Allah loves those who act equitably”. He (asws) said: ‘The two groups, but rather its explanation came on the day of Al-Basra (The battle of the Camel), and they are the ones belonging to this Verse, and they are the ones who rebelled against Amir-ul-Momineen (asws). So it was obligatory upon him (asws) to fight them, and he (asws) fought them until they submitted to the Command of Allah (azwj). And had they not been submitted, it became obligatory upon him (asws) with regards to what Allah (azwj) Revealed, that he (asws) should not raise his sword (stop fighting) until they complied and returned from their opinions, because they had pledged their allegiances willingly, without compulsion. And this is the rebel group as Allah (azwj) the High has Said. So it was obligatory upon Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) that he (asws) should deal with justice among them when he (asws) was victorious over them, just as the Rasool Allah (saww) had been just among the people of Mecca, he (saww) was benevolent upon them and forgave them. And that is what Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) did with the people of Al-Basra when he (asws) was victorious over them similar to what the Rasool Allah (saww) did with the people of Mecca. Like a sandal follows a sandal (same footsteps). I said, ‘(What about) the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[53:53] And He destroyed the Overthrown Cities (of Sodom and Gomorrah)”. He (asws) said: ‘These are the people of Al-Basra. It is the overthrown city’. I said, ‘(What about) “[9:70] and the overthrown cities; their messengers came to them with clear arguments”. He (asws) said: ‘They were the people of Lut (as), their town was turned upside down upon them’.
203. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Safwan Bin yahya, from Hanaan who said: ‘I heard my father narrated from Abu Ja’far (asws) having said: ‘Salman (ar) was seated with a number of people from Qureish in the Masjid. They started priding over their lineages and ancestry until they reached Salman (ar). Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to him (ar), ‘Inform me, who you (ar) are, and who your (ar) father is, and what is your (ar) origin’. So he (ar) said: ‘I (ar) am Salman (ar) son of a servant of Allah (azwj). I (ar) had strayed, so Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Guided me (ar) by Muhammad (saww), and I (asws) was needy, so Allah (azwj) Made me (ar) to be self-sufficient by Muhammad (saww), and I (ar) was a slave, so Allah (azwj) Freed me (ar) by Muhammad (saww). This is my (ar) lineage, and this is my (asws) nobility’. He (asws) said: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) came out and Salman (ar) spoke to him (saww). Salman (ar) said to him (saww), ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), what has been meted out to me (ar) from those when I (ar) was seated with them. They took to priding themselves over their lineages and ancestry to the extent that they reached me (ar). Umar Bin Al-Khattab said to me, ‘Who are you (ar), and what is your (ar) origin, and what is your (ar) status?’ So the Prophet (saww) said: ‘So what did you (ar) say to him, O Salman (ar)?’ He (ar) said, ‘I (ar) said, ‘‘I (ar) am Salman (ar) son of a servant of Allah (azwj). I (ar) had strayed, so Allah (azwj) Guided me (ar) through Muhammad (saww), and I (asws) was needy, so Allah (azwj) Made me (ar) to be self-sufficient through Muhammad (saww), and I (ar) was a slave, so Allah (azwj) Freed me (ar) through Muhammad (saww). This is my (ar) lineage, and this is my (asws) nobility’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘O group of Qureish, the nobility of a man is his Religion, and his chivalry in his manners, and his origin is his intellect. And Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[49:13] O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty)”. Then the Prophet (saww) said to Salman (ar): ‘There is no preference over you (ar) from any of these ones except by fear of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and if there is piety for you (ar) over them, so you (ar) are more preferable’.
204. Ali, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Al-Hajjaaj, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘When Ali (asws) became the ruler, he (asws) ascended the Pulpit. So he (asws) Praised Allah (azwj) and Extolled Him (azwj), then said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! I (asws) will not give you the sustenance from your spoils of war (Al-Fey) a single Dirham (more than what each of you deserve) so long as I have a palm tree left in Yasrab (Al-Medina). So be truthful to yourselves. Do you see what I (asws) have prevented from myself (asws) that I (asws) shall give it to you?’ So Aqeel stood up and said to him (asws), ‘By Allah (azwj)! You will consider me to be equal to a black man of Al-Medina?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Sit down! Is there not one here besides you to speak? And there is no preference to you except by a precedent (being foremost in Al-Islam) or by piety’.
205. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Abu Ubeyda, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) stood upon Al-Safa and said: ‘O Clan of Hashim (as)! O Clan of Abdul Muttalib (as)! I (saww) am the Rasool Allah (saww) to you all, and I (asws) am compassionate towards you, and for me (saww) are my (saww) deeds, and for every man among you are his deeds. Do not say that Muhammad (saww) is from us and so we shall be entering where he (saww) would be entering (The Paradise). So, no, by Allah (azwj)! There are no friends for me (saww) from among you, nor from the others. O Clan of Abdul Muttalib (as)! Except for the pious ones, otherwise I (saww) will not recognise you on the Day of Judgement. You will be coming carrying the ‘world’ (burden of the world) upon your backs and the people would be coming carrying the Hereafter. So I (saww) warn you with regards to what is between me (saww) and you all, and with regards to what is between myself (saww) and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic with regards to you all’.
206. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Al-Halby, from Ibn Muskaan, from Zurara, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said: ‘I (asws) saw (in a dream) as if I (asws) am on top of a mountain, and the people are climbing up from all sides, to the extent that they were many of them, and it prolonged by them in the sky, and the people started falling off from it from all sides until there did not remain among them any one except for a small group. So they made an attempt five times, and during each of that the people fell off from it and there did not remain except for a (small) group. As for Qays Bin Abdullah Bin Ajlaan, he was in that group’. He (the narrator) said: ‘He (asws) did not remain after that except for about five (days) until he (asws) passed away’.
207. From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammaad Bin Usman who said: ‘Abu Baseer narrated to me by saying, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘A man who was miles away from Al-Medina, saw in his dream in which it was said to him, ‘Go and Pray over Abu Ja’far (asws), for the Angels have performed his (asws) washing in Al-Baqi’e’. So the man went, and found Abu Ja’far (asws) to have passed away’.
208. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of the High (azwj): “[3:103] and you were on the brink of a pit of fire, then He saved you from it, through Muhammad (saww).’’ By Allah (azwj), this is how Jibraeel (as) came down with it upon Muhammad (saww)’.
209. From him, from his father, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from Yunus Bin Zibyaan, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) (regarding the Verse) “[3:92] By no means shall you attain to righteousness until you spend (benevolently) out of all you love”. This is how he (asws) read it’ (reading ‘مِمَّا تُحِبُّونَ هَكَذَا فَاقْرَأْهَا’ instead of what is now in the Holy Quran ‘وَمَا تُنْفِقُوا مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ بِهِ عَلِيمٌ’).
210. From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) (regarding the Verse) “[4:66] And if We had prescribed for them: Lay down your lives (totally submit themselves to the Imam) or go forth from your homes (for His Happiness), they would not have done it except a few of them; and if they (the opposing ones) had done what they were commanded, it would have certainly been better for them and best in strengthening (them)”, and regarding this Verse "[4:65] and then do not find any straightness in their hearts as to what you have decided from the command of the Guardian (asws) and submit to the obedience of Allah (azwj) with entire submission” (referring to the Tahreef in the Holy Quran).
211. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Abu Junada Al-Husayn Bin Al-Mukharaq Bin Abdul Rahmaan Bin Warqa Bin Habashy Bin Junada Al-Saluly, who has narrated the following: A companion of the Rasool Allah (azwj), from Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah Mighty and Majestic: “[4:63] These are they of whom Allah knows what is in their hearts; for the Word of misery has already been Ordained for them and so has the Punishment been Ordained for them therefore turn aside from them and admonish them, and speak to them effectual words concerning themselves”
212. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Uman Bin Azina, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said, ‘Abu Ja’far (asws) recited “[4:59] O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, and to the Guardian (asws) of the Command among you (Ul-Al-Amr)”. Then said: ‘How can He (azwj) Command for their (asws) obedience and then allow them (the people) to dispute with them (asws). But rather, He (azwj) has Said that to the Commanded ones when He (azwj) Said to them (the people): “Obey Allah and obey the Messenger”.
213. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said: ‘The Messenger (saww) asked Jibraeel (as): ‘How were the people of Saleh (as) destroyed?’ So he said: ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Saleh (as) was Sent to his (as) people when he was sixteen years old. So he (saww) was with them until he (as) reached the age of one hundred and twenty years, they did not answer him (as) to the good. And they had for themselves seventy idols which they worshipped apart from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. So when he (as) saw that among them, he (as) said: ‘O people! I (as) was Sent to you all when I (as) was sixteen years old, and I (as) have now reached one hundred and twenty years, and I (as) present to you all two matters. If you like you can ask me until I (as) ask my (as) God (azwj) so He (azwj) would Answer you with regards to what you have asked me of within a short while. And if you like, I (as) would ask your gods, so if they answer me (as) by that which I (as) have asked them of, I (as) would go away from you all. So I (as) would have silenced you all and you would have silenced me (as)’. They said, ‘You (as) are being fair, O Saleh (as)’. So they prepared for the day that they will be going out for it. So they went out with their idols upon their backs, and prepared their food and drinks. So they ate and drank. When they finished, they called him (as) over. They said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Ask!’. So he (as) said to their elder: ‘What is the name of this one?’ He said, ‘Such and such’. So he (as) said to it: ‘O such and such! Answer me (as)!’ So it did not answer him (as)’. So Saleh (as) said: ‘What is the matter with it that it does not answer?’ They said, ‘Ask another one’. So he (as) asked all of them by their names, but they did not answer him (as) anything. So they turned towards their idols and said to them: ‘What is the matter with you all that you do not answer Saleh (as)?’ They did not answer. So they said, ‘Step away from us and leave us and our idols for a while’. Then they unrolled their rugs, and their furnishings, and their clothes, and wallowed upon the dust, and placed dust upon their heads, and said to their idols, ‘If you do not answer Saleh (as) today, you will be exposed’. Then they called him (as) over, so they said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Call to these (idols)’. So he (as) called upon them. They did not answer him (as). So he (as) said to them: ‘O People! Half the morning has passed and I (as) have not seen your gods to have answered me (as). So ask me (as), and I (as) shall ask my (as) God (azwj), and He (azwj) will Answer you shortly’. Seventy men from their elders were delegated to him (as) from the approved ones from among them, so they said, ‘O Saleh (as)! We ask you, so if your (as) Lord (azwj) were to answer us, we would follow you (as) and answer to you (as), and pledge our allegiances to you (as), all the people of our town altogether’. So Saleh (as) said to them: ‘Ask me (as) whatsoever you like’. So they said, ‘Walk with us towards this mountain’, and the mountain was quite near to them. So Saleh (as) went with them. When he (as) came up to the mountain, they said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Call upon your (as) Lord (azwj) for us, to bring out for us from this mountain this very moment, a blonde, tame, red she-camel with a distance of a mile between the two sides of the mountain’. So Saleh (as) said to them: ‘You have asked me (as) for something which is great for me (as), and is easy for my (as) Lord (azwj) Majestic and Mighty’. Saleh (as) asked Allah (azwj) the High for that. The mountain split asunder with such a split that their intellects took flight when they heard that rumble of it. Then the mountain trembled with a great tremble like a woman trembling during labour. Then only its head came out of the crack in the mountain. When its neck showed, it began to chew its cud. Then the rest of its body came out, and it stood erect upon the ground. So when they all saw that, they said, ‘O Saleh (as), with what ease has your (as) Lord (azwj) Answered you (as). Call upon your (as) Lord (azwj) for us to bring out for us its young’. So he (as) asked Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic for that. She brought it (babies) out and walked around them. So he (as) said to them: ‘O people! Does there remain anything else?’ They said, ‘No. Come with us to our people. We shall inform them of what we have seen and they will believe in you (as)’. So they returned, but before the seventy of them could reach them, sixty four of them had reneged, and they were saying, This is sorcery and a lie’. This was reflected by all of them. So the remaining six were saying that it is the truth, whilst all the others were saying that it is a lie and sorcery. Then they all dispersed upon that, and one of the six then was overcome by doubt. So he was the one who slay it. Ibn Mahboub (the narrator) said, ‘I narrated this Hadeeth to a man from our companions called Saeed Bin Yazeed. He informed me that he had seen the mountain from which (the she-camel) came out, in Syria. He said, ‘I saw its sides where the mountain split up, and the impact of it on its sides and the other side of it, and in between it and this one was a distance of a mile’.
214. Ali Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Abbas, from Al-Hassan Bin Abdul Rahmaan, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said when it was said to him (asws) “[54:23] (The tribe of) Thamud rejected warnings [54:24] For they said; Is it a mortal man, alone among us, that we are to follow? Then indeed we should fall into error and madness [54:25] Has the reminder been made to light upon him from among us? Nay! he is an insolent liar!”, he (asws) said: ‘This is what they belied Saleh (as) with, and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic does not Destroy a people at all until He (azwj) Sends to them, before that, the Messenger (as). They argued against them (the Messengers (as)), so Allah (azwj) Sent Saleh (as) to them. He (as) called them towards Allah (azwj). They did not respond and were insolent to him (as), and said, ‘We will not believe you (as) until you (as) bring out for us from this rock a tame she-camel. And it was a rock which they used to magnify and worship and make their sacrifices near to its peak every year, and they used to gather around it. They said, ‘If you (as) are as you are alleging to be, a Prophet (as), a Messenger (as), so call upon your (as) Lord (azwj) for us until He (azwj) Brings out for us from this solid rock a tame she-camel’. So Allah (azwj) Brought it out as they had sought from him (as). Then Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Revealed unto him (as): “O Saleh (as)! Tell them that Allah (azwj) has Made a share for this she-camel, from the water, that it would drink from it one day and you would drink from it the next day”. And the day which was designated for the she-camel to drink, it would drink the water during that day. They would then milk her, and there did not remain any young one or old one except that he drank from her milk in the day of theirs when it was the night time. And in the morning they would drink from the water, and the she-camel would not drink from it during that day. So that situation prevailed until such time as Allah (azwj) so Desired it to. Then they rebelled against Allah (azwj) and some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘Slay this she-camel, and be relaxed from it. We are not happy that there should be a day for us to drink and a day for it to drink’. Then they looked around for someone who could slay it, and made for him (a reward) of what he loved. So there came to them a red, blonde, blue-eyed man, of an adulterous birth, whose father was unknown, called Qudaar. A wretched one of all wretched ones of a sinister character, so they made up for him a reward for it. So when the she-camel went towards the water to drink from it, he left it until it had drunk the water. When it returned, he sat waiting for it upon its path. He struck her with the sword but it did not kill her. So he struck at it again and killed her and it fell down upon the earth on its side, and its young ones fled until they sat upon the mountain. They cried out three times towards the sky. And the people of Saleh (as) came over. So there did not remain anyone from them except that he participated in hitting it, and they distributed its meat in between themselves. There did not remain anyone from them, whether young or old except that he ate from it. So when Saleh (as) saw that, he (as) came up to them and said, ‘O People! What called you all to do what you have done and rebelled against your Lord (azwj)?’ So Allah (azwj) Blessed and High unto Saleh (as): “Your (as) people have been tyrannous and rebellious, and killed the she-camel that was Sent to them as a Proof to them, and there was no harm in it for them, and there were great benefits from it for them. So tell them that I (azwj) will be Sending upon you all My (azwj) Punishment after three days. So they were to repent and return (from their ways), I (azwj) shall Accept their repentance and Prevent it from them, and if they do not repent and do not return (from their ways), I (azwj) will Send to them My (azwj) Punishment on the third day”. So Saleh (as) came and said to them: ‘O people! I (as) am a Messenger (as) of your Lord (azwj). He (azwj) is Saying to you all that if you were to repent and return (from your ways) and seek Forgiveness, He (azwj) would Forgive you all and Turn towards you (Mercifully)’. So when he (as) said that to them they became more rebellious and treacherous than what they had been and said, ‘O Saleh (as)! Let it come to us, what you (as) are calling for us, if you (as) are from the Messengers (as), the truthful ones’. He (as) said: ‘O people! When you wake up tomorrow morning your faces would be yellow, and on the second day your faces would be red, and on the third day your faces would be black’. So when it was the morning of the first day and their faces turned yellow, some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘There has come upon you what Saleh (as) had spoken of’. So the rebellious ones among them said, ‘We will not listen to the words of Saleh (as) and will not accept his (as) words, even though they may be great’. So when it was the morning of the second day and their faces turned red, some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘O people! There has come upon you what Saleh (as) had spoken about for you all’. So the rebellious ones among them said, ‘Even if we were all to be destroyed, we will not listen to the words of Saleh (as) nor will we leave our gods which our forefathers had been worshipping, nor will we repent, nor will we return (from our ways)’. So when it was the morning of the third day and their faces turned black. So some of them walked towards the others and said, ‘O people! There has come upon you what Saleh (as) had spoken of for you all’. So the rebellious ones from among them said, ‘Let it come upon us what Saleh (as) had said to us’. So when it was the middle of the night, Jibraeel (as) came upon them and screamed out a loud scream at them which broke their eardrums, and split their hearts, and ruptured their livers. And during those three days they had been applying camphor upon themselves, and shrouding themselves, and they knew that the Punishment would be descending upon them. So all of them died in the blink of an eye, their young ones as well as their old ones. There did not remain for them a she-camel, or a sheep, or anything except that Allah (azwj) Destroyed it. They had all died in their homes and on their beds. Then Allah (azwj) Sent upon them Fire along with the Scream from the sky. So it burnt all of them, and this was their story’.
215. Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kiindy, from someone else from our companions, from Abaan Bin usmaan, from Al-Fuzeyl Bin Al-zubeyr who said: Farwat narrated to me from Abu Ja’far (asws). He said: ‘Remind me of something from the affairs of those two (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. So he (asws) said: ‘They have hit you upon the blood of Usman for eighty years, and they very well know that he was an unjust one. O Farwat, so how would it be if I (asws) mention to you their two idols (Abu Bakr and Umar)’.
216. Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ali Bin Al-No’man, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Sudeyr who said: We were in the presence of Abu Ja’far (asws), so we mentioned what the people had done after their Prophet (saww), and their humiliating Amir-ul-Momineen (asws). So a man from the people said, ‘May Allah (azwj) Keep you well, so where were the strong ones of the Clan of Hashim (as) and what was their number?’ So Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘And from those ones of the Clan of Hashim (as) that remained were Ja’far (as) and Hamza (as) who had passed away (martyred), and there remained with them two men who were weak, disgraceful, new ones in the era of Al-Islam, Abbas and Aqeel who were from the freed ones. By Allah (azwj)! If Hamza (as) and Ja’far (as) were present among them, they would not have achieved what they achieved. And had they seen them (as) two, they would not have damaged themselves’.
217. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira, from Ismail Bin Muslim, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The one who complains of weakness, or headache, or urine blockage, should place his hand upon that particular place and should say: ‘مَنِ اشْتَكَى الْوَاهِنَةَ أَوْ كَانَ بِهِ صُدَاعٌ أَوْ غَمْرَةُ بَوْلٍ فَلْيَضَعْ يَدَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ وَ لْيَقُلْ اسْكُنْ سَكَّنْتُكَ بِالَّذِي سَكَنَ لَهُ مَا فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ’ ‘Settle down for the Sake of the One for Whom (azwj) settle down what is in the night and the day, and He (azwj) the Hearing, the Knowing’.
218. Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, and Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Abu Jameela, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘الْحَزْمُ’ Firmness is in the heart, and the ‘الرَّحْمَةُ وَ الْغِلْظَةُ’ compassion and the harshness is in the liver, and ‘الْحَيَاءُ’ bashfulness (honour) is in the lungs’. And in another Hadeeth from Abu Jameela, he (asws) said: ‘The intellect dwells in the heart’.
219. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Hassaan, from Musa Bin Bakr who said: Once a boy complained to Abu Al-Hassan (asws), so he (asws) asked about him, so they told him (asws) that the boy had the spleen trouble.

220. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from someone else, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Amro Bin Ibrahim who said: I asked Abu Ja’far (asws) and complained to him (asws) of a weak stomach, so he (asws) said: ‘Drink ‘الْحَزَاءَ’ Al-Haza’a with the cold water’.

221. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from bakr Bin Saleh who said: I heard Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws) saying: ‘The one with wind (gastric trouble), and Al-Haam, and the coldness in the joints should take a handful of fenugreek (plant) and a handful of dry fig, soak these two in the water, and cook these two in a clean pot, then drain it, then cool it, then drink from it every other day until the completeness of your days the measurement of a cup’.

He (asws) said to me: ‘And to what (direction) are they going with regards to that?’ I said, ‘They are alleging that it is the day of the blood’. He (asws) said: ‘They are right. So it is more appropriate not to stir it in its day. But rather, know that during the day of Tuesday there is a particular time, if it coincides with it, his bleeding would not stop until he dies, or what Allah (azwj) so Desires’.
224. A number from our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from a man from the people of Al-Kufa, from Abu Urwa the brother of Shuayb, or from Shuayb Al-Aqarqufy who said: I came up to Abu Al-Hassan (asws) the First (asws) whilst he (asws) was doing the cupping (Al-Hajaamat) on the day of Wednesday in the prison. So I said to him (asws), ‘This is the day for which the people say that the one who gets cupping (Al-Hajaamat) done would be struck by vitiligo (white patches on the body)’. He (asws) said: ‘But rather, the one who fears that is the one whose mother conceived him during her menstruation (Walud-ul-Haiz, the one would always be the enemy of Alye Mohammed (asws))’.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Saleh Bin Uqba, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘Do not get cupping done during the day of Friday noon time, for the one who gets cupping done at noon during the day of Friday, if something were to happen to him, so he should not blame (anyone) except for himself’.

228. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Saeed Bin Janaah, from a man, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘Musa Bin Imran (as) complained to his (as) Lord (azwj) the High about the moisture and the humidity. So Allah (azwj) the high Commanded that he (as) should take the myrobalan (fruit) and ‘Al-Balaylaj’ and ‘Al-Amlaj’, knead it in honey and take it’.

I said, ‘And my prescription are these toxins ‘Al-Asmahiqoun’ and ‘Al-Ghariqoun’’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no problem’. I said, ‘Sometimes he (the patient) dies’. He (asws) said: ‘Even if he dies’. I said, ‘My prescription to him (the patient) is ‘Al-Nabeez’ (Intoxicating drink)’. He (asws) said: ‘There is no healing in the Prohibited (things). The Rasool Allah (saww) had complained, so Ayesha said to him (saww), ‘You (saww) have pleurisy’. So he (saww) said: ‘I (saww) am more honourable to Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic that He (azwj) would involve me (saww) with the pleurisy’. So he (saww) ( said you should have observe) patient’.
230. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (asws), ‘The man drinks the medicine, and cuts the vein, and perhaps it benefits him and perhaps it kills him’. He (asws) said: ‘He can cut and he can drink’.
231. Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Al-Hakam Bin Makeyn, from Hamza Bin Al-Tayyaar who said: I was in the presence of Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws). He (asws) saw me groaning (with pain). So he (asws) said: ‘What is the matter with you?’ I said, ‘My molar (toothache)’. So he (asws) said: ‘If only you had cupping done’. So I got cupping done and it settled down. I informed him (asws) of it’. So he (asws) said to me: ‘There is no better cure for the people than the sucking out of the blood and a certain amount of honey’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), what is a certain amount of honey?’ He (asws) said: ‘A lick of honey’.
232. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Bakr Bin Saleh, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al-Ja’fary who said: I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa (asws) saying: ‘To cure the toothache, take colocynth (a bitter fruit), peel it, then extracts its oil. So if the tooth has a cavity, apply the drops by cotton, place it inside the cavity and lie down upon the back. He should do this for three nights. And if the tooth does not have a cavity to it and it has a smell to it, apply the drops in each side of that tooth during the night. Every night two or three drops. He would be free (cured) by the Permission of Allah (azwj)’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I heard him (asws) saying: ‘For the pain in the mouth and the blood which comes out from the teeth, and the ulcers and the redness which takes place in the mouth, take damp colocynth which has turned yellow, place it in a pot of clay, pierce its head and enter a knife inside it. Then gently rub its sides, then pour over it dates and vinegar, and it would be intensely bitter. Then place it upon the fire and boil it intensely. Then take from it all that can be carried by his finger, rub it in his mouth, and gargle with the vinegar. If he likes he can transfer what is in the colocynth into a bottle or bowl. And when all that becomes less, he can refill it with vinegar, and he would be free from all that, Allah (azwj) Willing’.
233. A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Al-Hassan Bin Asbaat, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Sayaabat who said: I said to Abu Abdullah (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), the people are saying that it is not permissible to study the stars, and this has surprised me. So if it is harmful for my Religion, so there is no need for me to do anything which harms my Religion, and if it is not harmful to my Religion, by Allah (azwj) I love it and it is my desire to study it’. So he (asws) said: ‘This is not as they are saying it to be. It does not harm your Religion’. Then he (asws) said; ‘You are studying something, a lot of which you are unaware of, and a small amount of it is not beneficial. You are calculating the rise of the Moon’. Then he (asws) said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between Jupiter and Venus?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj)’. He (asws) said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between the Venus and the Moon?’ I said, ‘No’. He (asws) said: ‘Do you know how many minutes there are in between the Sun and the Virgo?’ I said, ‘No, by Allah (azwj), I have not heard from any one from the astrologers at all’. He (asws) said: ‘What is in between each one of these at its counterpart are sixty or seventy minutes’. Abdul Rahmaan expressed his doubt. Then he (asws) said: ‘O Abdul Rahmaan, this is a calculation, which if the man calculates, he would come to know the reed in the middle of the bush, and the number (of reeds) which are on the right of it and the number (of reeds) which are on the left of it, and the number (of reeds) which are behind it, and the number (of reeds) which are in front of it, to the extent that there would not remain hidden from him a single reed from the bush’.
234. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, who said, ‘we have been informed by Al-Nazar bin Qarwaash Al-Jammaal who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the camels who have scabies whether I should keep my camel away from these fearing it might get infected by the scabies, and the animals might have got it until it drank the water’. So Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘A Bedouin came up to the Rasool Allah (saww). He said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), I come across injured sheep, cows, and the camels sold at a cheap price, but they have scabies. I dislike buying these fearing that they may infect my camels and my sheep with that scabies’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘O Bedouin! So who infected the first (infected) one?’ Then the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘There is neither infection, nor bad omen, nor ghost, nor bad luck, nor ‘Safra’, nor breastfeeding after weaning, nor being a Bedouin after Migration (Hijra), nor Fasting of silence for a day to the night, nor divorce before the marriage, nor emancipation before slavery, nor being an orphan after achieving adulthood’.
235. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Al-Mugheira, from Amro Bin Hureys who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The omen is upon what you make it to be. If you take it lightly, it would be light, if you take it seriously it would be intense, and if you do not make anything of it, it would not be anything’.
236. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nawfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated: Abu Abdullah (asws) says that the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘The expiration of the omen is the reliance (upon Allah (azwj))’.
237. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed and someone else, from some of them, who have narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws), and some of them from Abu Ja’far (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[2:243] Have you not considered those who went forth from their homes, for fear of death, and they were thousands, then Allah said to them, Die; again He gave them life”. These were city folk from the cities of Syria, and there were seventy thousand households and plague used to occur among them every time. So whenever they sensed it, the rich ones would exit the city due to their (financial) strength and the poor would remain due to their (financial) weakness. So the death occurred mostly among those who would remain and less among those who went out. So those who left said, ‘Had we been of those who remained, death would frequent among us’. And those who remained said, ‘Had we been of those who went out, death would be less among us’. He (asws) said: ‘So they formed a consensus of their opinions that whenever they sense the plague occurring among them, all of them would go out from the city. So when they sensed the plague affecting them, all of them went out and took precaution against the death. So they travelled in the countryside for as long as Allah (azwj) so Desired. Then they passed by a city which was in ruins and its inhabitants had all left, being destroyed by the plague. So they encamped there, and settled their belongings being reassured by it. Allah (azwj) Said to them: “All of you die!” They all died at that instant and became decayed. The passers-by passed by and collected their ashes and gathered them in one place. So a Prophet (as) from the Prophets (as) of the Children of Israel passed by them, whose (as) name was Hizkeel (as). So when he (as) saw those bones, he (as) wept and reflected upon it and said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! If You (azwj) so Wish, You (azwj) can Revive them instantly, just as You (azwj) Caused them to die, so they would then inhabit Your (azwj) Country, and bear Your (azwj) servants who would worship You (azwj) along with those from Your (azwj) creatures who worship You (azwj)’. So Allah (azwj) the High Revealed unto him (as): “Is that what you (as) would like to happen?’ He (as) said: ‘Yes, O Lord (azwj)! Revive them”. So Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him (as); “Say such and such”. So he (as) said that which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic had Commanded him (as) to say’. Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘And it was the Great Name (Al-Ism Al-Aazam). So when Hizkeel (as) said that Word, he (as) saw the bones flying towards each other. So they came back alive. Some of them looked at the others Glorifying Allah (azwj) and Exclaiming His (azwj) Greatness and Extolling His (azwj) Holiness. So Hizkeel (as) said during that: ‘I (as) hereby testify that Allah (azwj) has Power over all things’. Umar Bin Yazeed (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘This Verse was Revealed regarding them’.
238. Ibn Mahboub, from hanaan Bin Sudeyr, who has said: I said to Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘Inform me about the words of Yaqoub (as) to his (as) sons: “[12:87] O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother”, Did he (as) know that he (as) was alive, and there was a separation of twenty years between them?’ He (asws) said: ‘Yes’. I said, ‘How did he (as) know?’ He (asws) said: ‘He (as) supplicated before dawn and asked Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic that he (azwj) should Send down to him (as) the Angel of Death. So Biryaal descended unto him (as), and he is the Angel of Death. So Biryaal said to him (as): ‘What is your (as) need, O Yaqoub (as)?’ He (as) said: ‘Inform me about the souls. Do you capture them altogether or separately?’ He said, ‘But, I capture them separately, soul by soul’. He (as) said to him: ‘So inform me, Did you come across the soul of Yusuf (as) in what you have passed by?’ He said: ‘No’. Thus Yaqoub (as) came to know that he (as) was alive. So, due to that he (as) said “[12:87] O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother”.
239. Muhammad Bin yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Khalid Bin Yazeed Al-Qummy, from some of his companions, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and majestic: “[5:71] And they thought that there would be no affliction”, he (asws) said: ‘This was when the Rasool Allah (saww) was present among them. So they became blind and deaf when the Rasool Allah (saww) passed away. Then Allah (azwj) Turned (Mercifully) towards them when He (azwj) Established Amir-ul-Momineen (asws). Then they became blind and deaf this time as well’.
240. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Ra’ab, from Abu Ubeyda Al-Haza’a, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[5:78] Those who disbelieved from among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son of Marium”. He (asws) said: ‘The pigs, by the tongue of Dawood (as), and the monkeys, by the tongue of Isa Bin Maryam (as)’.
241. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al-nazar Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, from Umraan Bin Maysam, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘A man recited to Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) (the following Verse) “[6:33] We know indeed that what they say certainly grieves you, but surely they do not call you a liar; but the unjust deny the communications of Allah”. He (asws) said: ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj), they had denied him (saww) with an intense denial, but it was hidden. (The meaning of) “but surely they do not call you a liar” is that ‘they would not be able to come up with the refutation in order to belie your (saww) truth’’.
242. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Ibn Muskaan, from Abu Baseer, who has narrated the following: One of the Imams (asws) said when he (asws) was asked about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[6:93] And who is more unjust than he who forges a lie against Allah, or says: It has been revealed to me; while nothing has been revealed to him”. He (asws) said: ‘It was Revealed regarding Ibn Abu Sarh who was the office bearer of Usman over Egypt, and he was from the ones who were with the Rasool Allah (saww) on the Day of the conquest over Mecca whose blood was spared. And he used to write to the Rasool Allah (saww). So if Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed that: “Surely Allah (azwj) is Most Mighty, Most Wise”. He would write, ‘Surely Allah (azwj) is Most Aware, Most Wise’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘Leave it, although Allah (azwj) is surely Most Aware, Most Wise’. So Ibn Abu Sarh used to say to the hypocrites, ‘I am saying from myself similar to what he (saww) has come up with, so he (saww) does not let me alter it’. So Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Revealed regarding him what He (azwj) Revealed’.
243. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Uneyr Bin Azina, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: I said to Abu Ja’far (asws), ‘The Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[8:39] And fight with them until there is no more persecution and religion should be only for Allah”, So he (asws) said: ‘The case to which this Verse applies has not come yet. The Rasool Allah (saww) allowed them (the non-Muslims) for his (saww) need and the needs of his (saww) companions. Had there come the case of its implementation, he (saww) would not have accepted from them, but they would not spare their lives until they would have accepted the Oneness of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic and until they would not have remained any Polytheism (Shirk)’.
244. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, who has said the following: Abu Abdullah (asws), said, ‘I heard him (asws) saying regarding this Verse: “[8:70] O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you”, he (asws) said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Al-Abbas, and Aqeel, and Naufal’. And he (asws) said that: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) prohibited the killing of anyone from the Clan of Hashim (as) and Abu Al-Bakhtary on the Day of Badr. So they were made captives. The Rasool Allah (saww) sent for Ali (asws) and said: ‘Go and see over there, who are the ones from the Clan of Hashim (as)’. So Ali (asws) passed by Aqeel son of Abu Talib (as), may Allah (azwj) Honour his (as) face. He (asws) turned away from him. So Aqeel said to him (asws), ‘O son (asws) of my mother (as) Ali (asws)! But, by Allah (azwj), you (asws) can see my situation’. He (asws) returned to the Rasool Allah (saww) and said: ‘This is Abu Al-Fazl in the hand of so and so, and this is Aqeel in the hand of so and so, and this is Naufal Bin Al-Haris in the hand of so and so’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) stood up and came up to Aqeel and said to him: ‘O Abu Yazeed, Abu Jahl has been killed’. He said, ‘Then you (saww) will not be disputing about Tahaamat’. He (saww) said: ‘If you are strong people, otherwise tie up their hands’. They came up with Al-Abbas, so he (saww) said: ‘Ransom yourself and ransom the son of your brother’. He said, ‘O Muhammad (saww)! Let me go and ask the Qureish for ransoming me’. He (saww) said: ‘Give from what you have left behind with Umm Al-Fazl and said to her that, ‘If this I face this difficulty, so spend upon your children and on yourself’. So he said to him (saww): ‘O son (saww) of my brother (as), who informed you (saww) of this?’ He (saww) said: ‘Jibraeel (as) came with it to me (saww) from the Presence of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic’. So he said, ‘And I had held her on oath that no one would know of this except for myself and her. I hereby testify that you (saww) are the Rasool Allah (saww)’. He (asws) said; ‘All the captives returned as Polytheists except for Al-Abbas, and Aqeel, and Naufal, may Allah (azwj) Honour their faces, and it was regarding them that this Verse was Revealed: “[8:70] O Prophet! say to those of the captives who are in your hands: If Allah knows anything good in your hearts, He will give to you better than that which has been taken away from you and will forgive you” up to the end of the Verse’.
245. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwaan Bin yahya, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, who has said: One of them (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”. He (asws) said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Hamza (as), and Ali (asws), and Ja’far (as), and Al-Abbas (as), and Shaeba. They prided themselves for quenching (the thirst) of the Pilgrims. So Allah (azwj) Majestic and Mighty Revealed “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”, and it was Ali (asws), and Hamza (as), and Ja’far (as), may greeting be upon them (as) are the ones who (as) believed in Allah (azwj) and the Last Day, and they (as) fought in the Way of Allah (azwj), and (others) are not equal to them (as) in the Presence of Allah (azwj)’.
246. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from hashaam Bin Saalim, from Ammaar Al-saabaty who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) the High: “[39:8] And when distress afflicts a man he calls upon his Lord turning to Him frequently”, he (asws) said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Abu Al-Faseyl, who used to consider the Rasool Allah (saww) as a sorcerer. And when distress afflicted him, meaning illness, he would call upon his Lord (azwj), turning to Him (azwj) frequently, meaning penitently to Him (azwj), from what he used to say with regards to the Rasool Allah (saww). “then when He makes him possess a favour from Him,” meaning the restoration of health, “he forgets that for which he called upon Him before,” meaning his asking for Forgiveness to Allah (azwj) from what he used to say regarding the Rasool Allah (saww) that he (saww) was a sorcerer, and that is the Statement of Allah (azwj) mighty and Majestic “Say: Enjoy yourself in your ungratefulness a little, surely you are of the inmates of the fire”, meaning your influence which you have over the people with any right from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic or from His (azwj) Messenger (saww)’. He (the narrator) said: ‘Then Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Then Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Spoke Sympathetically with regards to Ali (asws) Informing him (asws) of his (asws) situation, and his (asws) merits in the Presence of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High. So He (azwj) Said: “[39:9] What! he who is obedient during hours of the night, prostrating himself and standing, takes care of the hereafter and hopes for the mercy of his Lord! Say: Are those who know that Muhammad is the Rasool Allah (saww), and those who do not know (saying) that Muhammad (saww) is a lying sorcerer alike? Only the men of understanding are mindful”. Then Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘This is its explanation, O Ammar’.
247. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammaad Bin Usmaan who said: I recited: “[5:95] as two just persons among you shall judge” in the presence of Abu Abdullah (asws), so he (asws) said: ‘Two just ones among you – this is from what the scribes have erred with regards to it’ (referring to the compilation mistakes in the Holy Quran - Tahreef in Quran).
248. A number of our companions, from Sahl Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from a man, who has narrated: Abu Ja’far (asws) (has explained this verse) about “[5:101] O you who believe! do not put questions about things which if declared to you may trouble you”
249. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid Al-Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Muhammad bin Marwaan who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) recited: “[6:115] And the ‘beautiful’ word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly”. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), but rather we are reciting it as “[6:115] And the word of your Lord has been accomplished truly and justly”. So he (asws) said: ‘Surely, in it is ‘the beautiful’’ (referring to the Tahreef in the Holy Quran).
250. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shammoun, from Abdullah Bin Abdul Rahmaan Al-A’asam, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim Al-Batl, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement: “[17:4] And We had made known to the children of Israel in the Book: Most certainly you will make mischief in the land twice”, he (asws) said: ‘The killing of Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws) and the stabbing of Al-Hassan (asws)’. “and most certainly you will behave insolently with great insolence”, he (asws) said (this refers to): ‘The killing of Al-Husayn (asws)’. “[17:5] So when the promise for the first of the two came, So when the help comes for the blood of Al-Husayn (asws), We sent over you Our servants, of mighty prowess, so they go to and fro among the houses, a people whom Allah (azwj) will be Sending before the coming out of Al-Qaim (ajfj) (who will serve him (ajfj) and under his (ajfj) command) they will not leave an enemy of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww) except that they will kill him. and it was a promise to be accomplished” This is the coming of Al-Qaim (asws). “[17:6] Then We gave you back the turn to prevail against them, This is the coming of Al-Husayn (asws) and seventy of his (asws) companions who will be wearing protective helmets. For each of the helmets would be two facets to demonstrate to the people that this is indeed Al-Husayn (asws) who has come out, until the Believers would have no doubts about it, and that he (asws) is neither Al-Dajjaal (la), nor Satan (la), and Al-Hujjat Al-Qaim (asws) would also come in their support. So when the recognition would be settled in the hearts of the Believers that he (asws) is indeed Al-Husayn (asws), the death will approach Al-Hujjat (asws). So the one (asws) who would be washing him (asws), and shrouding him (asws), and embalming him (asws), and burying him (asws) in his (asws) grave would be Al-Husayn Bin Ali (asws), no one follows the successor (asws) except for the successor (asws)’.
