101. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammaad Bin Usman from Ali Bin Mugheira who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘Jibraeel (as) came to the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) giving the option and indicating to him (saww) for the humbleness and was advising him (saww). The Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) used to eat like the eating of the slave, and sit like the sitting of the slave being humble to Allah (azwj). Then he (saww) was given (by Jibraeel) at the time of his (saww) death, the Keys of the treasures of the world. So he (Jibraeel) said: ‘These are the Keys of the treasures of the world which your (saww) Lord (azwj) has Sent to you (saww) so that there will be for you all that is carried by the earth without any reduction of anything’. The Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said: ‘I (saww) (want to be) among the friends of the Most High (azwj)’.
102. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, from Abdul Mo’min Al-Ansary, who has said: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘The Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said: ‘There were presented to me (saww) Bat’ha and Makka of gold. So I (saww) said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! No, but I (saww) would like to satiate one day and remain hungry one day, for if I (saww) am satiated I (saww) would thank You (azwj), and if I (saww) am hungry, I (saww) would supplicate to You (azwj) and Remember You (azwj)’.
103. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, who has narrated the following: The Imam (asws) having said: ‘Among the Advice which Allah (azwj) Gave to Isa (as) was: “O Isa (as)! I (azwj) am your (as) Lord (azwj), and the Lord (azwj) of your (as) forefathers. My (azwj) Name is ‘وَاحِدٌ’ the One, and I (azwj) am the ‘الْأَحَدُ’ the One, which cannot be divided, the Lone One Who (azwj) Created everything, and everything is Made by My (azwj) and everything Returns to Me (azwj). O Isa (as)! You (as) are the Messiah by My (azwj) Command, and you (as) create from the clay something like the bird (but) by My (azwj) Permission, and you (as) revive the dead by My (azwj) Speech, so become attentive towards Me (azwj) and be a ‘رَاهِباً’ fully devote yourself to Me (azwj), and you (as) will never find a refuge except with Me (azwj). O Isa (as)! I (azwj) Bequeath to you (as) a Compassionate Command with the Mercy until the Wilayah is Ordained from Me (azwj) and there comes Pleasure from Me (azwj). You (as) are blessed as a grown up and blessed as a child whereby you (as) testified that you (as) are My (azwj) servant, the son (as) of My (azwj) maidservant (Maryam (as)). Make room for Me (azwj) in yourself (as) like your (as) concerns, and make My (azwj) Remembrance to be for your (as) return, and come near to Me (azwj) by the optional (Prayers), and place reliance upon Me (azwj) for I (azwj) will Suffice for you (as), and do not rely upon the others for I (azwj) shall Abandon you (as). O Isa (as)! Observe patience upon the afflictions and be pleased with the Destiny, and become like My (azwj) Happiness in you (as), for if My (azwj) Happiness is what makes you (as) happy, you (as) will be obedient and will not disobey. O Isa (as)! Revive My (azwj) Remembrance by your (as) tongue, and make My (azwj) cordiality to be in your (as) heart. O Isa (as)! Be vigilant in the hours of neglect and consider Me (azwj) of Kind Wisdom. O Isa (as)! Be attentive, a Devotee, and prepare your (as) heart to fear (Me (azwj)). O Isa (as)! Be a shepherd of the night to search for My (azwj) Happiness, and Magnify Me (azwj) in your (as) daytime for asking for your (as) need from Me (saww). O Isa (as)! Compete with regards to the good with your (as) striving; you (as) will be known by the good wherever you (as) may turn to. O Isa (as)! Judge among My (azwj) servants by My (azwj) Advice, and stand among them with My (azwj) Justice, for I (azwj) have Made to Descend upon you (as) a healing for what is in the chests from the diseases of the Satan (la). O Isa (as)! Do not be seated with the intrigued (hypocrites). O Isa (as)! Truly I (azwj) Say that no creature believed in Me (azwj) except that he was humble to Me (azwj), and did not humble himself to Me (azwj) except that he hoped for My (azwj) Reward. Be a witness that he is safe from My (azwj) Punishment, (that will be) the one who did not change or replace My (azwj) Sunnah. O Isa (as), the first son (as) of the chaste virgin, weep for your (as) self with a weeping like the one who says farewell to his family, and hate the world and leave it to its people, and become interested in what is in the Presence of your (as) God. O Isa (as)! Be along with that as a soft-spoken person, and offers greetings and be vigilant when the eyes of the righteous go to sleep. Be cautious of the Return and the severe earthquakes and the sensations of the Day of Judgement when neither the family, not the sons, nor the wealth would be of any benefit. O Isa (as)! Apply the Kohl of grief in your (as) eyes whilst the people of falsehood laugh. O Isa (as)! Become humble and patient, for Tooba is for you (as) if you (as) achieve what has been Prepared for the patient ones. O Isa (as)! Go from the world day by day, and taste the food from which its taste is less indulging. So I (azwj) Truly Say, you (as) are not with anything except for your (as) hour and your (as) day, so go from the world with provision, and let the rough (clothes) and less tempting (food) suffice for you (as) for you (as) have seen what becomes of it, and whatever you (as) take is written down, and how you (as) have consumed it. O Isa (as)! You (as) will be questioned, so be merciful to the weak just like My (azwj) Mercy towards you (as), and do not subdue the orphan. O Isa (as)! You (as) weep over yourself (as) in private, move your (as) feet to the timings of the Prayer, and let Me (azwj) Hear your (as) sweet speech of My (azwj) remembrance, for My (azwj) Favour to you (as) is good. O Isa (as)! How many from the community I (azwj) have Destroyed for their previous sins which I (azwj) have Protected you (as) from it. O Isa (as)! Be kind to the weak ones and raise your tired eye towards the sky and call upon Me (azwj) for I (azwj) am Near to you (as) and do not Pray to Me (azwj) except by Supplicating to Me (azwj) for your (as) concern is one concern, for when you (as) call upon Me (azwj) in such a manner, I (azwj) will Answer you (as). O Isa (as), I (azwj) was not Pleased with Presenting the world as a Reward for the ones who were before you (as), nor as a Punishment for the ones I (azwj) Want to Retaliate against. O Isa (as)! You (as) are to die and I (azwj) shall Remain, and from Me (azwj) is your (as) sustenance, and with Me (azwj) is your (as) fixed term and to Me (azwj) is your (as) eventual return, and to Me (azwj) is your (as) Accounting, so ask Me (azwj) and do not ask someone else, for the best from you (as) is the supplication, and from Me (azwj) is the Answering of it. O Isa (as)! How numerous are the human beings and how little are, in numbers, the patient ones. The trees are many but the good ones of it are few. So do not be deceived by the beauty of the tree until you have tasted its fruit. O Isa (as)! Do not be deceived by the rebellious one by disobeying My (Commands), I (azwj) Provide sustenance so (don’t) worship someone else, then he calls upon Me (azwj) during hardships, so I (azwj) Answer him. Then he returns to what he used to be in, rebelling against Me (azwj) exposing himself to My (azwj) Anger. I (azwj) Swear by Myself (azwj) that I (azwj) shall Grab him with such a Grip that there will be no salvation for him from it, and no refuge apart from Me (azwj). Where will he run from My (azwj) skies and from My (azwj) earth? O Isa (as)! Say to the unjust ones from the Children of Israel not to supplicate to Me (azwj) whilst the illegal earnings is under their hearts (into their stomach), and the idols are in their houses, for I (azwj) have Undertaken that I (azwj) shall Answer to the one who supplicates to Me (azwj), and Make My (azwj) Answer to be a Curse upon them (who disobey) until they disperse. O Isa (as)! How many times have I (azwj) Given them lengthy Consideration, and goodness of the seeking, but the people are in neglect and they will not return. The words come out from their mouths but their hearts are not with it. They expose themselves to My (azwj) Abhorrence and seek nearness to the Believers by display their love for Me (azwj) (showing hypocrisy) O Isa (as)! Make your (as) tongue to be one, be it in secret or in the open, and do that similarly with your (as) heart and your (as) vision. And turn your (as) heart and your (as) vision away from the Prohibited and restrain your (as) vision from that which has no benefit. So how many glances of the looker have planted lust in his heart, and returned him by it to the fountains of destruction. O Isa (as)! Be merciful and compassionate, and be as you (as) would like the people to be towards you (as). And frequently remember the death, and the separation of the families. And do not play for its amusements (as it) spoils the player. And do not be neglectful one for the neglectful is far from Me (azwj). And Remember Me (azwj) by the righteous deeds so that I (azwj) speak of you (as). O Isa (as)! Repent and return to Me (azwj) after the sins, and Mention Me (azwj) by the penitence, and believe in Me (azwj), and come closer to the Believers by Me (azwj), and urge them to supplicate to me (azwj) along with you (as). And beware of the supplication of the oppressed for I (azwj) have Undertaken upon Myself (azwj) that I (azwj) shall Open for it the Doors of the sky by the Acceptance, and Answer him even though it may be after a while. O Isa (as)! Know that the evil one infects, and the evil friend destroys. And know the one whom you (as) befriend and chose as a brother for yourself (as) from the Believers. O Isa (as)! Repent to Me (azwj) as there is no grand sin that I (azwj) do not Forgive it, and I (azwj) am the Most Merciful of the merciful ones. Work for yourself (as) in the time allocated from your (as) term before someone else works for it, and worship Me (azwj) for a day which will be like a thousand years of your counting, during which I (azwj) will Reward the good deeds by increasing them, and that the sins would remain with their doers. Prepare for yourself (as) in the allocated time, and compete in the good deeds, for how many a gathering has dispersed and its people being each other’s neighbours in the Fire. O Isa (as)! Abstain with regards to the mortal, that which will be cut-off, of the houses of the ones who were before you (as), so call them and whisper to them. Do you (as) feel that any one of them would take your (as) advice? And know, that you (as) will be joining them among the joining ones’. O Isa (as)! Say to the one who has rebelled against Me (azwj) by disobedience and works in opposition, to expect My (azwj) Punishment and await My (azwj) Destruction upon him, so he will be joined with the Destroyed ones. Tooba is for you (as), O son (as) of Maryam (as). Then Tooba is for you (as) if you (as) were to take to the discipline of your (as) God Who is Compassionate towards you (as) and Merciful, and Begin with the Favours to you (as) from Him (azwj) for Honour, as He (azwj) was for you (as) in the difficulties, and you (as) did not disobey Him (azwj). O Isa (as)! It is not Permissible for you (as) to disobey Him (azwj) Who has Advised you (asws) just as He (azwj) had Advised the ones who were before you (as), and I (azwj) am a Witness over that. O Isa (as)! I (azwj) have not Honoured any creature with the like of My (azwj) Religion, nor a Favour to him like My (azwj) Mercy. O Isa (as)! Wash with the water from you, what is apparent and heal with the goodness from you (as) what is hidden, for you (as) will be returning to Me (azwj). O Isa (as)! I (azwj) Gave to you (as) what I (azwj) had Favoured you (as) with an uninterrupted flow, and Sought from you (as) a loan for yourself (as), so if you (as) were to be niggardly with regards to it you (as) would become of the Destroyed ones. O Isa (as)! Adorn yourself (as) with the Religion and love the poor, and walk upon the earth in humility, and Pray upon the remainder, for all of it is clean. O Isa (as)! Roll up (your (as) affairs) for all that comes, is close by, and read My (azwj) Book whilst you (as) are clean, make Me (azwj) Listen to a voice from you (as) full of grief. O Isa (as)! There is no good in enjoyment which does not last and the life of the enjoyer is in decline. O son (as) of Maryam (as)! If you (as) were to see what I (azwj) have Prepared for My (azwj) righteous friends, your (as) heart would melt, and your (as) soul would come out (of your (as) body) in desire for it. So there is no house like the House of the Hereafter in which the neighbours are good people, and the Angels of Proximity come up to them, and they would be from the ones who would come on the Day of Judgement being safe from its horrors. A House in which, there is no change in the Bliss, nor are its inhabitants in decline. O son (as) of Maryam (as)! Compete with regards to it (the House in the Hereafter) along with the competitors, for it is the desire of the desirous ones, of good scenery. Tooba is for you, O son (as) of Maryam (as) , if you (as) are from the workers for it, along with your (as) forefathers Adam (as), and Ibrahim (as), being in the Gardens and Bliss, not seeking a substitution for it nor a transfer from it. That is how I (azwj) Deal with the pious ones. O Isa (as)! Flee to Me (azwj) like those who flee from the flaming Fire, and the Fire with chains and fetters. No soul would enter it and its grief would leave from him ever. It is a part like the part of the dark night. Those who are rescued from it would be successful, and those who do not get Rescued from it would be of the Destroyed ones. This is the House of the tyrants, and hardened oppressors, and every harsh, rude one, and every arrogant boaster. O Isa (as)! It is the evil house for the ones in its corner, and the evil dwelling for the unjust ones. I (azwj) Caution you (as), so that you (as) would be informed about it. O Isa (as)! Beware you (as) can be an observer for Me (azwj), and testify that I (azwj) have Created you (as), and you (as) are My (azwj) servant, and I (azwj) Shaped you (as), and sent you (as) down to the earth. O Isa (as)! It is not correct for two tongues to be in one mouth, not for two hearts to be in one chest, similarly for the minds. O Isa (as)! Do not wake up as a disobedient one, nor indulge in vanities whilst awake, and turn yourself (as) away from the lusts and the sins, and every desire which distances you (as) from Me (azwj). So migrate from it, and know that you (as) are from Me (azwj) at the status of the trustworthy Rasool (as), so be cautious with regards to Me (azwj), and know that your (as) world will deliver you (as) to Me (azwj), and I (azwj) will Grab you (as) with My (azwj) Knowledge. So become a humble soul during My (azwj) Remembrance, with a revering heart when you (as) Mention Me (azwj), being fully aware whilst the neglectful ones sleep. O Isa (as)! This is My (azwj) Advice to you (as) and My (azwj) Preaching to you (as), so take it from Me (azwj), and I (azwj) am the Lord (azwj) of the worlds. O Isa (as)! If My (azwj) servant is patient with Me (azwj), his Rewards for his deeds are upon Me (azwj), and it was upon him to supplicate to Me (azwj), and I (azwj) am Sufficient to Take Revenge from the ones who are disobedient to Me (azwj). Where will the unjust runaway to, from Me (azwj)? O Isa (as)! Speak good words wherever you (as) may be, for I (azwj) am a Knowledgeable Teacher. O Isa (as)! Bestow the good deeds towards Me (azwj) until it is Mentioned in My (azwj) Presence, and take to My (azwj) Advice, for there is a healing for the hearts therein. O Isa (as)! Do not hesitate when you (as) plan from My (azwj) Plan, and do not forget My (azwj) Remembrance in the privacy of the world. O Isa (as)! Take account of yourself (as) by referring to Me (azwj) until I (azwj) Accomplish the Rewards for what the workers have worked for. Those are the ones who will be getting their Recompense, and I (azwj) am the Best of the Givers. O Isa (as)! You (as) were Created by My (azwj) Word, and Maryam (as) gave birth to you (as) by My (azwj) Command, the Message sent to her (as) by My (azwj) Spirit Jibraeel the Trustworthy one from My (azwj) Angels, until you (as) stood upon the earth alive and walking. All that had been encompassed by My (azwj) Knowledge. O Isa (as)! Zakariyya (as) is at the status of your (as) father, and is the guardian of your (as) mother (as). When he (as) came up to her (as) in the Niche (Al-Mihraab) he (as) found sustenance in her (as) presence. And your (as) counterpart Yahya (as) (John) is from My (azwj) creatures, and I (azwj) Gifted him (as) to his (as) mother after the old age had set in, and she had no strength to her. I (azwj) Intended by that to Display to her My (azwj) Authority, and Display with regards to you (as), My (azwj) Power. The most Beloved of you all, to Me (azwj) is the one who is most obedient to Me (azwj), and the most intense in his fear from Me (azwj). O Isa (as)! Be vigilant and do not despair from My (azwj) Spirit, and Glorify Me (azwj) along with the ones who Glorify Me (azwj), and with the good speech Extol My (azwj) Holiness. O Isa (as)! How can the servants disbelieve in Me (azwj) whilst their forelocks are in My (azwj) Grip, and their going about in My (azwj) land while being ignorant of My (azwj) Favours, and their befriending of My (azwj) enemies, and that is how the infidels are (destined for) Destruction. O Isa (as)! The world is a prison with the rotten smell, and there is beauty in it from what has been seen by the tyrants who slaughter each other for it. And beware of the world, for every bounty of it is subject to decline, and there is no bounty in it except for a little. O Isa (as)! Reach for Me (azwj) near your (as) pillow and you (as) will find Me (azwj), and call upon Me (azwj) and you (as) are Beloved unto Me (azwj), for I (azwj) am the most Hearing of the listening. I (azwj) shall Answer the supplicant when one supplicates to Me (azwj). O Isa (as)! Fear Me (azwj) and get My (azwj) servants to fear Me (azwj) perhaps the sinners would abstain from what they are working in, so no one would be destroyed except that they would be aware (of it). O Isa (as)! Be in awe of Me (azwj) as you (as) are awed by the (fearful) beasts, and the death which you (as) are going to meet up with, for all these things, I (azwj) Created them, so it is Me (azwj) they should be Awed of. O Isa (as)! The Kingdom is Mine (azwj) and in My (azwj) Hands, and I (azwj) am the King, so if you (as) were to obey Me (azwj), I (azwj) shall Make you (as) to Enter My (azwj) Paradise among the neighbourhood of the righteous ones. O Isa (as)! If I (azwj) am Angry with you (as), the happiness of those who are happy with you (as) would be of no benefit to you (as), and if I (azwj) am Pleased with you (as), the anger of the angry ones would not adversely affect you (as). O Isa (as)! Remember me (azwj) in your (as) soul, I (azwj) will Remember you (as) Myself (azwj), and Mention Me (azwj) among your (as) people and I (azwj) will Mention you (as) among My (azwj) Gathering which is better than the gathering of the human beings. O Isa (as)! Supplicate to Me (azwj) by the supplication of the drowning one (Al-Ghareek), the grieving one for whom there is no helper (except Me (azwj)). O Isa (as)! Do not swear falsely by Me (azwj), for (that) My (azwj) Throne Trembles in Anger. The world has a short life span, but there are long yearnings therein, whilst in My (azwj) Possession is a better House from what you (as) accumulate. O Isa (as)! How will you (as) react when I (azwj) Bring out a Book for you (as) which Speaks with the Truth, and you will all testify to the secrets that you have been concealing, and the deeds which you had been performing. O Isa (as)! Say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘You have washed your faces, and left your hearts as filthy. Are you trying to deceive Me (azwj) with a deception, or are you being audacious against Me (azwj)? You are applying fragrance for the people of the world whilst your inner selves are in My (azwj) Presence at the status of the rotten carcass, as if you are a dead people’. O Isa (as)! Say to them: ‘Trim your fingernails (cut yourselves off) from unlawful gains, and deafen your ears from the indecent speech, and turn towards Me (azwj) by your hearts, for I (azwj) do not Want (Fond of) your appearances. O Isa (as)! Be happy with the good deeds for therein lies My (azwj) Pleasure, and weep over the sins for it is a disgrace. And do not carry forward to others what you (as) do not like them to do unto you (as), and if your (as) right cheek is slapped then give him the left one. And come closer to Me (azwj) by the cordiality and your (as) striving, and keep away from the ignorant ones. O Isa (as)! Be humble to the people of good deeds and participate with them in it, and be a witness upon them and say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘O evil companions who are seated upon it, if you do not desist, I (azwj) will metamorphose you into monkeys and pigs. O Isa (as)! Say to the unjust ones of the Children of Israel: ‘The Wisdom weeps after being made to separate from Me (azwj), and you are laughing by fleeing away from me. Has there come to you My (azwj) Disavowing, or have you found security from My (azwj) Punishment, or are you exposing yourselves to My (azwj) Punishment? I (azwj) Swear by Myself (azwj) that I (azwj) will Abandon you to be an example for the coming generations to learn a lesson from. Then I (azwj) Advise you (as), O son (as) of Maryam (as) the chaste virgin, of the (coming of) the Chief of the Rasools (as), and My (azwj) Beloved, so he (saww) is Ahmad (saww), the owner of the red camel, with a face illuminated with the light as bright as the full moon, and the one pure of the heart, and intensely valiant, the prestigious, for he (saww) is the Mercy to the Worlds, and the Chief of the children of Adam (as) on the Day that he (saww) will meet Me (azwj). The most honourable of the former ones to Me (azwj), and the nearest one to Me (azwj) from the Rasools (as), the Arab, the trustworthy, the embodiment of My (azwj) Religion, the patient one in struggling against the Polytheists by his (saww) own self and hands for the sake of My (azwj) Religion. And inform the Children of Israel about him (saww), and command them that they should ratify him (saww), and believe in him (saww), and follow him (saww), and help him (saww)”. Isa (as) said: ‘My (as) God! Who is he (saww) that if I (as) were to please him (saww) it would Please You (azwj)?’ He (azwj) Said: “He (saww) is Muhammad (saww), the Rasool Allah (saww) to all of the people. He (saww) is the closest to Me (azwj) in status, and the presenter for the intercession. Tooba is for him (saww) from the Prophets (as) and Tooba for his (saww) community who will meet Me (azwj) whilst being upon his (saww) way. The inhabitants of the earth praise him (saww), and the inhabitants of the sky seek Forgiveness through him (saww). The trustworthy, the Entrusted one, the good, the blessed, the best of the remaining ones in My (azwj) Presence who will be in the end of times. When he (saww) comes out, the sky will loosen its rainfall and the earth will bring out its blossoms until they will see the Blessings, and I (azwj) will Bless for him (saww) whatever that he (saww) places his (saww) hand upon, one with many wives and few children. He (saww) will live at Bekka (Makkah), the place of foundation of Ibrahim (as). O Isa (as)! his (saww) Religion is the upright one (Al-Haneefa), and his (saww) direction (Qiblah) is the Right one, and he (saww) is from My (azwj) Party, and I (azwj) am with him (saww). So Tooba is for him (saww). Then again Tooba is for him (saww), for him (saww) is Al-Kawsar, and the great status in Gardens of Eden, living honourably, the ones that live in it, and he (saww) will pass away as a martyr. For him (saww) is the Fountain greater than from Bakka (Makkah) up to the rising of the sun. In this are springs of a sealed drink (Al-Raheeq Al-Makhtoum) similar (in number) to the stars in the sky, and cups similar (in number) to the grains of the sands of the earth, sweetened in it from every drink and food of every fruit in the Paradise. The one, who drinks from it a drink, will never be thirsty ever again, and that is what I (azwj) have Apportioned for him (saww), and as a merit for him (saww) over the period in between you (as) and him (saww). His (saww) secret would be in accordance with his publicising, and his (saww) words would be his (saww) deeds. He (saww) will not command the people except by himself (saww) doing it first. His (saww) Religion is the Holy War in hardship as well as in ease. The cities would surrender to him (saww) and the ruler of Rome would yield to him (saww). He (saww) would be upon the Religion of Ibrahim (as). He (saww) will mention My (saww) name during partaking of the food, and would express the greetings, and he (saww) will Pray whilst the people are sleeping. Every day he (saww) would Pray five Prayers calling out in sequence to the Prayer like the calling of the army by the slogan. And he (saww) would open by the exclamation of the Takbeer, and he (saww) would end by the greetings. He (saww) would keep his (saww) feet in a row during the Prayer just as the Angels keep their feet in a row. And he (saww) would humble his (saww) heart before Me (azwj), as well as his (saww) head. The ‘النُّورُ ’( the Divine Light) would be in his (saww) chest, and the truth would be upon his (saww) tongue, and he (saww) would be on the truth wherever he (saww) may be. His (saww) origin would be as an orphan wandering for a while during his (saww) time for that which is required from him (saww). His (saww) eyes would sleep but his (saww) heart would never sleep. For him (saww) is the intercession, and upon his (saww) community the Hour would be Established (Day of Judgement be made easy). And My (azwj) Hand is Above their hands, so the one who breaks (the Covenant) so he would have broken it against himself. And the one who is loyal to what has been Covenanted with him, I (azwj) would be Loyal to him with the Paradise. So command the unjust ones of the Children of Israel to study his (saww) Books and not to alter his (saww) Sunnah, and that they should send the greetings upon him (saww) for he (saww) is upon the status more glorious than the glorious. O Isa (as)! All that which brings you (as) closer to Me (azwj), I (azwj) have Evidenced it for you (as), and everything which distances you (as) from Me (azwj), so I (azwj) have Prohibited you (as) from it, so refer to it for yourself (as). O Isa (as)! The world is sweet, and I have Utilised you (as) in it, so stay aside from what I (azwj) have Cautioned you (as) from, and take from it what I (azwj) Give to you (as) as a Gift. O Isa (as)! Look into your (as) affairs with a consideration of the sinful servant, the erroneous one, and do not look into the affairs of the other with the position of the Lord (azwj). Become an ascetic therein and do not be allured with regards to it, for you (as) would be corrupted. O Isa (as)! Think, and ponder, and look around in the earth and see how the unjust ones had vanished from its (face). O Isa (as)! All that I (azwj) have Described to you (as) is Advice, and every Word of Mine (azwj) to you (as) is ‘حَقٌّ’ Just, and I (azwj) am the ‘الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ’ Clear Just. So Truth is what I (azwj) Speak and if you (as) were to disobey Me (azwj) after I (azwj) have Informed you (as), there will be no Guardian for you (as) other than Myself (azwj), nor a Helper. O Isa (as)! Humble your (as) heart by the reverence, and look to the one who is below you (as), and do not look to the one who is above you (as), and know that the head of every error and sin is the love of the world, so do not love it for I (azwj) do not Love it. O Isa (as)! Perfume your (as) heart for Me (azwj) and frequent My (azwj) Remembrance in the privacy, and know that My (azwj) Happiness is in your (as) pleading to Me (azwj), so be alive during that and not become as dead (heart). O Isa (as)! Do not associate anything with Me (azwj) and be cautious from Me (azwj), and do not be deceived by the (good) health and do not be envious for the world is like a fleeting shadow, and what approaches it is like what has been left behind from it. So compete in the righteous deeds with your (as) striving, and be with the truth wherever it may be even though you (as) may be cut and burnt by the fire. So do not disbelieve in Me (azwj) after the understanding, and do not become of the ignorant ones, for one ends up with that to which one associates. O Isa (as)! Pour out your (as) tears for Me (azwj) from your (as) eyes, and humble your (as) heart to Me (azwj). O Isa (as)! Cry out to Me (azwj) for help during difficult conditions, for I (azwj) Help the afflicted ones and I (azwj) Answer the restless, and I (azwj) the most Merciful of the merciful ones”.
104. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Anbasat, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘When the inhabitants of the Fire settle down in the Fire, they will miss you (Shiites). So they will not see any one from you (therein). So some of them will say to the others, “[38:62] And they will say: "What has happened to us that we see not men whom we used to number among the bad ones? [38:63] Was it that we (only) took them in scorn, or have our eyes (now) turned aside from them? [38:64]. Imam (asws) said: ‘And that is the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “That most surely is the truth: the contending one with another of the inmates of the fire”. They will be disputing with each other regarding you (Shiites) with regards to what they had been saying about you (Shiites) in the world’.
105. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Safwaan, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me: ‘Who is the harshest of the people against you?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), all of them are’. He (asws) said: ‘Do you know why that is so, O Yaqoub?’ I said, ‘I do not know, may I be sacrificed for you (asws)’. He (asws) said: ‘It is Iblees (la) who called them, so they answered him (la), and ordered them, so they obeyed him (la), and he (la) called you, so you did not answer him (la), and he (la) ordered you, so you did not obey him (la), so he (la) beckons (instigates) the people against you’.
106. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammaar, who has said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘If the man sees what he does not like in his dream, so he should change his sleeping position which he was in and should say, ‘The whispering is from the Satan (la) to aggrieve those who Believe’, and nothing would harm him except by the Permission of Allah (azwj). Then he should say, ‘I seek Refuge with what the Angels of Proximity of Allah (azwj) and His (azwj) Prophets (as), and the righteous servants sought Refuge with, from the evil what I saw, and from the evil of the castaway Satan (la)’.
107. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and Ali Bin Ibrahiim, from his father, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Haroun Bin Mansour Al-Abady, from Abu Al-Ward, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) said Fatima (asws) regarding her (asws) dream which she (asws) saw, to say: ‘I (asws) seek Refuge by what the Angels of Proximity of Allah (azwj), and His (azwj) Rasool Prophets (as), and His (azwj) righteous servants seek Refuge with, from the evil of what I (asws) have seen during my (asws) night, this one, from affecting me (asws) of its evil or anything that I (asws) dislike’. Then turn towards your (asws) left three times’.
108. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Ali Bin Muhammad altogether from Al-Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al-Munkary, from Hafs Bin Gayaas who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘When one of you intends that whenever he asks his Lord (azwj) for something He (azwj) would Give it to him, so he should despair from all the people, and do not have any hope for himself except from Allah (azwj) Mighty is His (azwj) Remembrance. So when Allah (azwj) Knows that to be in his heart, never would he ask for anything but it would be Given to him. So take account of your selves before Accounting is taken against you, for on the Day of Judgement there will be fifty pausing stations, with each stop being of the measurement of a thousand years’. Then he (asws) recited: “[32:5] in a day the measure of which is a thousand years of what you count”.
109. And by this chain, from Hafs, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The one who wants to travel so he should do so on the day of Saturday. Even if a stone falls off a mountain on the day of Saturday, Allah (azwj) would Return it to its place. And the one who is unable to fulfill his need should seek it on the day of Tuesday, for it is the day in which Allah (azwj) Softened the iron for Dawood (as)’.
110. And by this chain, from Hafs, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The example of the people of the Day of Judgement when they stand before the Lord (azwj) of the Worlds, where they will have no space for movement for themselves except for their feet, like the arrows (tightly packed) in the quiver, not having the ability for going over there or over there’.
111. And by this chain, from Hafs who said: I saw Abu Abdullah (asws) alone in the gardens of Al-Kufa. He (asws) came to a palm tree, so he (asws) performed ablution near it, then bowed and prostrated. I counted in his (asws) prostration five hundred Glorifications (Tasbeeh). Then he (asws) leaned on the palm tree and supplicated by a supplication. Then he (asws) said: ‘O Abu Hafs! By Allah (azwj), it is the palm tree about which Allah (azwj) Said to Maryam (as): “[19:25] And shake towards you the trunk of the palm tree, it will drop on you fresh ripe dates”.
112. Hafs, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has narrated that ‘Isa (as) said: ‘It is intensely difficult to collect the provisions of the world and the provisions of the Hereafter, As for the provisions of the world, so you will not extend your hand towards something except that you will find an immoral one has preceded you for it, and as for the provisions of the Hereafter, so you will not find any helper who will help you for it’.
113. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Ammaar who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘Whichever Believer complains of his need and presents it to an Infidel or to the one who is opposed to his Religion, so it is as if he has complained against Allah (azwj) before an enemy from the enemies of Allah (azwj). And whichever Believing man complains of his need and presents it to a Believer like him, so it is as if he has complained to Allah (azwj)’.
114. Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Al-Waleed Bin Sabeeh, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Suleyman Bin Dawood (as) that: “The sign of your (as) death is a tree which will come out from Bayt Al-Maqdas called Al-Kharnouba”. Suleyman (as) looked around one day and there was Al-Kharnouba tree which had emerged from Bayt Al-Maqdas. So he (as) said to it: ‘What is your name?’ It said, ‘Al-Kharnouba’. Suleyman (as) turned back to his (as) Prayer Niche and stood leaning upon his staff. His (as) soul was Captured (passed away) in that moment. The Jinn and the human beings kept on serving him (as) and were striving in his (as) command as before, and they were thinking that he (as) was alive and had not died. The morning came and passed, and he (as) was still standing still, until the woodworm gnawed away at his (as) staff and it broke, and Suleyman (as) fell down upon the ground. Have you not heard the Statemennt of the Mighty and Majestic: “[34:14] and when it fell down, the jinn came to know plainly that if they had known the unseen, they would not have tarried in abasing torment”.
115. Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Sudeyr, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘Jabir Bin Abdullah (ar) informed me (asws) that when the Polytheists used to pass by the Rasool Allah (saww), they would incline their heads and cover their heads with their clothes so that the Rasool Allah (saww) would not see (recognise) them. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed: “[11:5] Now surely they fold up their breasts that they may conceal (their enmity) from Him; now surely, when they use their garments as a covering, He knows what they conceal and what they make public”.
116. Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al-Howl, from Sallaam Bin Al-Mustaneer, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Created the Paradise before He (azwj) Created the Fire, and Created the obedience before He (azwj) Created the disobedience, and Created the Mercy before the Anger, and Created the good before the evil, and Created the earth before the sky, and Created the life before the death, and Created the sun before the moon, and Created the ‘النُّورَ’ (the Divine Light) before the darkness’.
117. From him, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘Allah (azwj) Created the good on the day of Sunday, and He (azwj) did not Create the evil before the good. And during the day of Sunday and the Monday Created the firmaments and created their sustenance during the day of Tuesday, and Created the Skies on the day of Wednesday and Thursday, and Created their sustenance on the day of Friday, and that is the Statement of the Mighty and Majestic; “[32:4] Allah it is Who created the heavens and the earth, and that which is between them, in six Days”.
118. Ibn Mahboub, from Hanaan and Ali Bin Ra’ib, from Zurara who said: I said to him (asws), ‘The Statement of the Mighty and Majestic: “[7:16] I will certainly lie in wait for them in Thy straight path [7:17] Then I will certainly come to them from before them and from behind them, and from their right-hand side and from their left-hand side; and Thou shalt not find most of them thankful”, so Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘O Zurara! But rather, he (Satan (la)) is lying in wait for you and for your companions. So as for the other ones, he has finished from them’.
119. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Khalid and Al-Husayn Bin Saeed altogether, from Al-Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Yahya Bin Umraan Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Badr Bin Al-Waleed Al-Khash’amy who said: Yahya Bin Sabour came up to Abu Abdullah (asws) to say farewell to him (asws). So Abu Abdullah (asws) said to him: ‘By Allah (azwj)! You are upon the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just, and that the ones opposed to you are upon other than the Just. By Allah (azwj)! I (asws) have no doubt for you with regards to the Paradise, and I (asws) hope that Allah (azwj) would Delight your eyes very soon’.
120. Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Abu Baseer who said: I said to him (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), do you (asws) see the one who rejects this matter (Al-Wilayah) to me as if he has rejected you (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! The one who rejects this matter to you, so he has rejected against the Rasool Allah (saww), and against Allah (azwj) Blessed and High. O Abu Muhammad! The dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is the martyr’. I said, ‘Even if he died upon his bed?’ He (asws) said: ‘Yes, by Allah (azwj), even if he died upon his bed, he is alive in the Presence of his Lord (azwj) being given Sustenance’.
121. Yahya Al-Halby, from Abdullah Bin Muskaan, from Habeeb who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘By Allah (azwj)! There is no one from the people more beloved to me (asws) than you are, and that the people have gone in various directions. So among them is the ‘one’ who takes (religion) to his own opinion, and among them is one who follows his own desires, and among them is the one who follows the narration (Al-Riwayah), and you all have grabbed to a matter for which there is an origin. So it is for you to observe piety, and the struggle, and bear witness to the funerals, and console the sick, and be present with your people in their Masjids for the Prayers. Is it not shameful for the man among you that his right is being observed by his neighbour whilst he himself does not observe the rights of his neighbour?’
122. From him, from Ibn Muskaan, from maalik Al-Juhny who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me: ‘O Maalik! Will you not be happy that you establish the Prayer, and you give the Zakaat, and you restrain yourself, and you enter the Paradise? O Maalik! There is none from the people who followed the imam in the world except that he (their imam) will come on the Day of Judgement cursing them and they would be cursing him except for you and the one who is similar to your condition. O Maalik! By Allah (azwj), the dead ones from among you who were upon this matter (Al-Wilayah) is a martyr of the status of the striker with his sword in the Way of Allah (azwj)’.
123. Yahya Al-Halby, from Basheer Al-Kunasy who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘You have maintained relations whilst the people have cut-off, and you loved whilst the people hated (you), and you recognised whilst the people denied, and it is the ‘الْحَقُّ’ Just. Allah (azwj) Took Muhammad (saww) to be a servant before He (azwj) Took him (saww) as a Prophet, and that Ali (asws) used to be a servant, and advisor for the Sake of Allah (zwj) Mighty and Majestic. So he (asws) was blessed and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Loved him (asws), and he (asws) loved Him (azwj). Surely, our (asws) Rights in the Book of Allah (azwj) are clear. For us (asws) is the clean wealth, and for us (asws) is the Spoils of war (Al-Anfaal- Khums), and that Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Obligated the people to be obedient to us (asws), since you follow but the people have no excuse for their ignorance. And the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘The one who dies and he has no Imam for him has died the death of a pagan. So it is upon you to obey, and you have seen the companions of Ali (asws). Then he (asws) said: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) said during his illness in which he (saww) passed away: ‘Call my (saww) friend for me (saww)!’. So two (females) sent for their respective fathers, but when they came, he (saww) turned his (saww) face away, then said: ‘Call my (saww) friend for me (saww)!’ They (two fathers) said, ‘He (saww) would have looked at us had he (saww) intended to speak to us’. So they sent for Ali (asws). So when he (asws) came, he (asws) leaned across towards him (saww), and he (saww) narrated to him (asws), and narrated to him (asws) until he was free from it. So (the two fathers) met him (asws) and said, ‘What did he (saww) narrated to you (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘He (saww) narrated to me (asws) by a thousand doors of the knowledge, each door of which opens to a (further) thousand doors’.
124. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al-Nahdy, from Musa Bin Umar Bin Bazi’e who said: ‘I said to Al-Ridha (asws) that, ‘The people are reporting that the Rasool Allah (saww), whenever he (saww) used to take to a road, would return via another road. So this is what he (saww) used to do’. He (asws) said: ‘Yes, as I (asws) do so quite frequently, so do it’. Then he (asws) said to me: ‘But rather, it is better for your sustenance’.
125. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al-Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabalat, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, who has narrated the following: Abu Al-Hassan the First (asws) replied, when I said to him (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), (its about) a man from our brethren, a matter has reached me about him which I dislike, so I ask about that but he denies that, and it has been informed to me from reliable people’. He (asws) said to me: ‘O Muhammad, deny your hearing and your vision about your brother even though fifty have testified in your presence under oath, and if he says something to you, so ratify him and belie them. Do not publicise anything against him which would disgrace him and destroy his magnanimity, for you will become those for whom Allah (azwj) has Said in His (azwj) Book: “[24:19] Surely (as for) those who love that scandal should circulate respecting those who believe, they shall have a grievous chastisement in this world and the hereafter; and Allah knows, while you do not know”.
126. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Abdu Rabbahu Bin Raf’e Al-Hubaab Bin Musa, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘The one born in Al-Islam as a free person, so he is an Arab, and the one who had a treaty for him and he kept to it, so he is a slave of the Rasool Allah (saww), and the one who entered in Al-Islam willingly, so he is an emigrant’.
127. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’adat Bin Sadaqa, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said that: ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘The one who goes through his mornings and evenings whilst having three things, so the bounties of the world are complete for him - the one who goes through his mornings and evenings with good physical health, security in his flock, and has his day’s provisions in his possession. So if he were to have the fourth, so the bounties in the world and the Hereafter would be complete for him, and it is Al-Islam’.
128. From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws), from his (asws) father (asws) having said to a man who spoke to him by a lengthy speech, so he (asws) said: ‘O you man who belittles the speech, and considers knowledge to be insignificant, know that Allah (azwj) did not Send His (azwj) Rasool (as) along with gold and silver, but He (azwj) Sent him (saww) by the speech. But rather, Allah (azwj) Majestic and Mighty Made Himself (azwj) Recognised to the creatures by the speech, and the evidence (pointing) towards Him (azwj), and the Signs’.
129. And by this chain: He (asws) said: ‘The Prophet (saww) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic did not Create a creature except that He (azwj) Commanded another one to overcome it, and that Allah (azwj) Blessed and High, when He (azwj) Created the deeper ocean, it prided itself and moved its waves and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the earth, so it (ocean) surfaced upon its back, and so it became submissive. Then he (asws) said; ‘The earth prided itself and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the mountains and Established them as pegs upon its back, so stop it from swaying due to what is upon her. So the earth became submissive and stabilised. Then the mountain prided itself over the earth, so it became bigger and taller, and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the iron which cut it, and so the mountain calmed down and became submissive. Then the iron prided itself over the mountain and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the Fire which melted it, and so the iron became submissive. Then the fire exhaled and gasped (blazed), and prided itself and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the water which extinguished it, and so it became submissive. Then the water prided itself and overflowed and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the wind which moved its waves and raised what was in its bottom, and restrained it from its direction, and so the water became submissive. Then the wind prided itself, raged and loosened its tails and said, ‘Which thing can overcome me?’ So He (azwj) Created the human being who built shelters and tricked the wind by veiling himself from it and other, so the wind became humble. Then the human being rebelled and said, ‘Who is stronger than me?’ So He (azwj) Created the death for him, which defeated him, and so he became submissive. Then the death prided itself so Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Said: “Do not be proud, for I (azwj) will Slaughter you in between the two sects – the people of the Paradise and the people of the Fire, then I (azwj) will not Revive you ever, whether you return (repent) or you fear”. And he (asws) also said: ‘And the forbearance overcomes the anger, and the mercy overcomes the harshness, and the charity overcomes the sins’. Then Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘There is more like this where one thing overcomes the other’.
130. From him, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said that: ‘A man came to the Prophet (saww) and said to him (saww), ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), advise me’. The Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘So will you follow it if I (saww) give advice to you?’ To the extent that he (saww) said that to him three times, and during each of which the man said to him (saww), Yes, O Rasool Allah (saww)’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘So I (saww) hereby advise you that whenever you feel like doing something, ponder over its consequences, for if there is guidance for you, so do it, and if it is a straying for you, so abstain from it’.
131. And by this chain, who has narrated the following: Imam (asws) said that: ‘The Prophet (saww) said: ‘Be merciful towards a mighty one who has been humbled, and a rich one who has become poor, and a scholar who is wasted in the era of the ignorant ones.
132. And by this chain, he said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying to his (asws) companions one day: ‘Do not find faults with the one who comes to you with his cordiality, and do not let him remain upon the sins which he is indulging in, for it is not from the morals of the Rasool Allah (saww), nor is it from the morals of his (asws) friends. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘The best inheritance which the fathers can leave for their children is the etiquettes (discipline) and not the wealth, for the wealth goes away whilst the discipline remains’. Mas’adat (the narrator) said, ‘What is meant by the discipline is the knowledge’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘If there are two days left from your life, so make one of them for your manners to seek help for the day of your death’. So it was said to him (asws), ‘And what is that which is the help?’ He (asws) said: ‘Good management of what you leave behind and what you order for’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullah (asws) wrote to a man: ‘In the Name of Allah (azwj) the Beneficent, the Merciful. Having said that, so the hypocrite does not like that which makes the Believers to be happy, and the happy one is he who heeds the advice of the piety, even if the advice is meant for the others’.
133. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat who said, ‘Informed me, some of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘O Ibn Muslim, the people are show-offs apart from you, and that is what you have concealed what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Loves, and have displayed what the people love, whilst the people have displayed what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic is Angered by, and concealed what Allah (azwj) Loves. O Ibn Muslim, Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Sympathised with you, so He (azwj) Made the Mut’a (Temporary marriage) (Permissible) instead of the (intoxicating) drinks’.
134. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muammar Bin Khallaad who said: Abu Al-Hassan Al-Ridha (asws) said to me: ‘Al-Ma’moun said to me (asws), ‘O Abu Al-Hassan (asws), if you (asws) could write to some of the ones who are obedient to you (asws) in these areas in which their relationship with us is spoilt’. I (asws) said to him: ‘O Chief of believers, if you fulfil (your commitment) to me (asws), I (asws) would (fulfil my (asws) commitment) to you, but rather, I (asws) have entered into this matter in which I (asws) have been entered into, I (asws) do not issue commands, nor do I (asws) prohibit, nor do I (asws) appoint anyone, nor do I (asws) dismiss anyone, and this matter which I (asws) have entered into has not increased anything for me (asws) regarding the favours. And I (asws) used to be in Al-Medina, and my (asws) letter would be established in the east and the west, and I (asws) would ride upon my (asws) mule and pass by in the markets of Al-Medina, and there would be no one more prestigious than me (asws), and there was none among them who would question me (asws) for a need with the possibility of my (asws) fulfilling it, except that I (asws) would fulfill it for him’. He said, ‘I will fulfill (my commitment) to you (asws)’.
135. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nowfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) having said: ‘The Prophet (saww) said: ‘It is a right upon the Muslim if he intends to travel that he should let his brothers know about it, and it is a right upon his brothers that they should come to him (visit) when he comes back’.
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) خَلَّتَانِ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ فِيهِمَا مَفْتُونٌ الصِّحَّةُ وَ الْفَرَاغُ.
136. And by this chain, who has narrated the following: Imam (asws) said: ‘The Prophet (saww) said: ‘There are two qualities which the people are infatuated with – the health and the leisure’.
137. And by this chain, who has narrated the following: Imam (asws) said: ‘Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) said: ‘The one who exposes himself for the accusation, so he should not blame the one who thinks bad about him, and the one who conceals his secret, would have the good in his hands (is secure from that)’.
138. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Shazaan, who has narrated the following: Abu Al-Hassan Musa (asws) having said; ‘My (asws) father (asws) said to me (asws) that in the Paradise is a river called Ja’far. On its right bank is a white pearl in which are a thousand castles. In each of the castles are a thousand castles for Muhammad (saww) and the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww). And upon its left bank is a yellow pearl, in which are a thousand castles. In each of the castles for Ibrahim (as) and the Progeny (asws) of Ibrahim (as)’.
139. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Hisham Bin Salim, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘No two groups of the people of falsehood ever confronted each other at all except that the victory was with the better one of them, while the other way round (opposite) being for the people of Al-Islam’.
140. From him, from Ahmad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from some of our companions, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘It is inherent in the hearts to love the one who benefits it, and hate the one who harms it’.
141. Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Musa Bin Umraan, from his uncle Al-Husayn Bin Isa Bin Abdullah, from Ali Bin Ja’far, from his brother Abu Al-Hassan Al-Musa (asws) having said: ‘My (asws) father grabbed my (asws) hand then said: ‘O my (asws) son (asws), my (asws) father (asws) Muhammad Bin Ali (asws) grabbed my (asws) hand just as I (asws) have grabbed your (asws) hand, and said: ‘My (asws) father (asws) Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) grabbed my (asws) hand and said: ‘My (asws) son (asws), do good to everyone who seeks it from you (asws), so if he was deserving of it then it has found its place, and if he was not deserving of it, then you (asws) were deserving of it, and if a man insults you from your (asws) right, then turn to your (asws) left. So if he offers his excuse for it, accept his excuse’.
142. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboun from Al-A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Al-Hajjaal from Al-A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: ‘Abu Ja’far (asws) said to me: ‘Everything used to be water, and His (azwj) Throne was upon the water. So Allah (azwj) Commanded the water so the fire was ignited. Then He (azwj) Commanded the fire, so it was extinguished and from its smoldering a smoke arose. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Created the Heavens from that smoke, and Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Created the earth from the ashes. Then the water, and the fire, and the wind contended. So the water said, ‘I am the great army of Allah (azwj)’, and the fire said, ‘I am the great army of Allah (azwj), and the wind said, ‘I am the great army of Allah (azwj)’. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto the wind: “You are My (azwj) Great army’.
143. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Rahmaan Bin Abu Najraan, from Safwaan, from Halaf Bin Hammaad, from Al-Husayn Bin Zayd Al-Hashimy, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Zaynab the perfume seller came to the wives and the daughters of the Prophet (saww), and she used to sell the perfume to them. The Prophet (saww) came over whilst she was among them. So he (saww) said: ‘You bring aroma to our (saww) house’. She said, ‘Your (saww) house is better in aroma due to your (saww) fragrance, O Rasool Allah (saww)!’ He (saww) said: ‘When you sell, do it well and do not cheat, for it would be more pious and protective of the wealth’. She said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), I did not come to sell anything, but rather I came to ask you (saww) about the Magnificence of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic’. So he (saww) said: ‘Majestic is the Majesty of Allah (azwj). I (saww) shall tell you about some of that’. Then he (saww) said: ‘This earth with what is upon it, compared to that which is below it, it like a ring thrown in the desert, and these two with what is within them and what is upon them, compared to what is beneath them is like a ring thrown in the desert, and the third one, until it ends with the seventh’. And he (saww) recited this Verse: “[65:12] Allah is He Who created seven Firmaments and of the earth a similar number”. The seven earths (firmaments) along with all that is contained within it and what is on it are upon the back of the rooster, like a ring thrown in the desert. And the rooster has two wings to it – a wing in the east and a wing in the west, and its legs are on the fringes of it, and the seven (firmaments) and the rooster and all that is contained with these and whatever is on it, are upon a rock, like a ring thrown in the desert. And the rock along with all that it contains, and all that is on it, are upon the back of the whale like a ring thrown in the desert. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale along with that they contain and what is on them are upon the dark ocean like a ring thrown in the desert. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale, and the dark ocean are upon the outgoing air like a ring thrown in the desert. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale, and the dark ocean, and the air are upon the soil (Al-Sarayy) like a ring thrown in the desert’. Then he (saww) recited this Verse: “[20:6] To Him belongs what is in the heavens and on earth, and all between them, and all beneath the soil”. Then the information about the soil (Al-Sarayy) is terminated. And the seven (firmaments), and the rooster, and the rock, and the whale, and the dark ocean, and the air, and the soil (Al-Sarayy) along with all that these contain and whatever is on it, compared to the first sky is like a ring thrown in the desert. And all of this, and the sky of the world along with what is on it and what is contained within it, compared to that which is above it, is like a ring thrown in the desert. And these two skies and whatever these two contain, and what is on them, compared to what is above these two, are like a ring thrown in the desert. And these three, along with what is contained within them and whatever is on them, compared to the fourth, are like a ring thrown in the desert, (and it is like this) until it ends with the seventh. And these and all that is contained within them and whatever is on them, compared to the ocean hidden from the people of the earth, is like a ring thrown in the desert. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, compared to the cold mountain are like a ring thrown in the desert’. And he (saww) recited this Verse: “[24:43] And He sends down of the clouds that are (like) mountains wherein is hail”. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, compared to the air which the hearts are confused about, are like a ring thrown in the desert. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, and the air, compared to veils of the light are like a ring thrown in the desert. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, and the air, and the veils of the light, compared to the Chair (Al-Kursy) are like a ring thrown in the desert’. And he (saww) recited this Verse: “[2:255] His Throne (Chair) includes the heavens and the earth, and He is never weary of preserving them. He is the Sublime, the Tremendous”. And these seven, and the hidden ocean, and the cold mountain, and the air, and veils of the light, and the Chair, compared to the Throne are like a ring thrown in the desert’. And he (saww) recite this Verse: “[20:5] The Beneficent One, Who is established on the Throne”. (And in the report of Al-Hassan) – ‘The veils before the air about which the hearts are confused’.
144. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saleh, from Yazeed Al-Kunasy, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) having said that; ‘The Rasool Allah (saww) had stayed at one man’s house in Al-Taef before the Islamic era. He had honoured him (saww). So when Allah (azwj) Sent Muhammad (saww) to the people, it was said to the man, ‘Do you know the one whom Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Sent to the people?’ He said, ‘No’. They said, ‘He (saww) is Muhammad Bin Abdullah (saww), the orphan of Abu Talib (as), and he (saww) is the one whom stayed with you at Al-Taef on such and such a day. You had honoured him (saww)’. Imam (asws) said: ‘The man went to the Rasool Allah (saww). He greeted him (saww), then said to him (saww), ‘Do you (saww) recognise me, O Rasool Allah (saww)?’ He (saww) said: ‘And who are you?’ He said, ‘I am the lord of the house where you (saww) stayed in at Al-Taef during the pre-Islamic period on such and such a day. I honoured you (saww)’. The Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘Welcome to you. Ask for your need’. So he said, ‘I ask you (saww) for a hundred sheep along with its shepherd’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) ordered for him what he had asked for, then said to his (saww) companions: ‘What was it with this man that he did not ask me (saww) what the elderly woman of the Children of Israel asked to Musa (as)?’ They said, ‘And what did the elderly woman of the Children of Israel ask to Musa (as)?’ So he (saww) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Revealed unto Musa (as) that: “Carry the bones of Yusuf (as) from Egypt, before you (as) leave from it, to the Holy land in Syria”. Musa (as) asked about the grave of Yusuf (as). An old man came up and said, ‘If there is anyone who would recognise his (as) grave it would be such and such a woman. So Musa (as) sent for her. When she came, he (as) said: ‘Do you recognise the place of the grave of Yusuf (as)?’ She said, ‘Yes’. Point it out to me (as) and you can have whatever you ask for’. She said, ‘I will not point it out to you except under my command’. He (as) said: ‘For you is the Paradise’. She said, ‘No, except by my command on you (as)’. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto Musa (as): “It is not a great thing to you (as) for it to be by her command”. So Musa (as) said to her: ‘For you is the command’. She said, ‘My command is that I should be with you (as), in your (as) level which you (as) would be upon, on the Day of Judgement, in the Paradise’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said: ‘What was it with this (man) that he did not ask me (saww) for what the elderly woman of the Children of Israel asked for?’
145. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said: I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘There was a woman from the Helpers who had cordiality with us (asws) the People (asws) of the Household, and used to frequently pledge her allegiance to us (asws), and Umar Bin Al-Khattab met her one day whilst she was on her way to us (asws). He said to her, ‘Where are you headed, O elderly woman of the Helpers?’ She said, ‘I am going to the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww) to greet them (asws), and renew my allegiance with them (asws), and give their (asws) rights to them (asws). So Umar said to her, ‘Woe be unto you! There are no rights for them (asws) today, neither from you nor from us. But rather, there used to be rights for them during the era of the Rasool Allah (saww). As for today, there are no rights for them (asws), so leave’. So she left until she came up to Umm Salma (ar). Umm Salma (ar) said to her, ‘What was it that delayed you in coming to us (as)?’ So she said, ‘I met Umar Bin Al-Khattaab’, and she informed her (as) of what she had said to Umar and what Umar had said to her’. So Umm Salma (ar) said to her, ‘He lied. The rights of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww) have not stopped. They are Obligatory upon the Muslims up to the Day of Judgement’.
146. Ibn Mahboub, from Al-Haris Bin Muhammad Bin Al-No’man, from Bureyd Al-Ajaly who said: ‘I asked Abu Ja’far (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[3:170] and they rejoice for the sake of those who, (being left) behind them, have not yet joined them, that they shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve”. He (asws) said: ‘By Allah (azwj)! These are our (asws) Shiites, when their souls will arrive in the Paradise, and they will be Welcomed honourably from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, they would come to know and be convinced that they were upon the ‘الْحَقِّ’ Just, and upon the Religion of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and they would receive the good news of the ones whom they had left behind from their brethren from the Believers. There would be no fear to come upon them, nor would they be in any grief’.
147. From him, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ayyub, from Al-Halby who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “ [55:70] In them are goodly things, beautiful ones”, said: ‘These would be the righteous believing women, who had recognised (Al-Wilayah)’. I said, “[55:72] Pure ones (Houries) confined to the pavilions”. He (asws) said: ‘The Houries like protected eggs, preserved in the tents of the pearls, and the sapphire, and the coral. For every tent would be four doors, and on every door would be seventy veiled ones, and there will be coming them, Prestige from Allah (azwj) every day for giving good news to the Believer by these (Houries)’.
148. Ali Bin Ibrahim, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin ziyad altogether, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Abu Al-Sabbah Al-Kanany, from Al-Asbagh Bin Nabata who said: Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) said: ‘For the sun there are three hundred constellations. Each of the constellations from these is like an island from the islands of Arabia. So it descends upon a constellation from these each day. So when it disappears, it ends up to the limits beneath the Throne. It does not stop prostrating until the next day. Then it returns to the place of its rising, and with it are two Angels who hail with it and turn its face towards the people of the sky reversing it from the people of the earth. And had it faced the people of the earth, it would have burnt down the earth and the ones upon it due to the intensity of its heat. And the meaning of its prostration is what the Glorious and the High has Said: “[22:18] Do you not see that to Allah bow down in worship all things that are in the heavens and on earth, the sun, the moon, the stars; the hills, the trees, the animals; and a great number among mankind?”
149. A number of our companions, from Saleh Bin Abu Hammaad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, narrating from Jabir Bin Yazeed who said: Muhammad (asws) Bin Ali (asws) narrated seventy Ahadeeth to me which he (asws) never narrated to anyone at all, and I never narrated these to anyone ever. So when Muhammad (asws) Bin Ali (asws) passed away (martyred), it became heavy upon my neck, and my chest was constricted by it, so I came up to Abu Abdullah (asws) and said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), your (asws) father (asws) narrated seventy Ahadeeth to me from which nothing came out from me, nor did I ever bring anything out from these to anyone, and he (asws) ordered me to keep these as a secret. This has become heavy upon my neck and my chest has been constricted by it, so what is your (asws) order for me?’ He (asws) said: ‘O Jabir! If some of that constricts your chest, go to the cemetery and dig up a ditch, then enter your head inside it and say, ‘Muhammad (asws) Bin Ali (asws) narrated to me with such and such’, then cover it up. The earth will keep it as a secret for you’. Jabir said, ‘I did that, so it became lighter upon me from what I had been under’. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan (have narrated) similar to this.
150. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Safwaan Bin Yahya, from Al-Haris Bin Al-Mugheira who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘I hold the innocent ones among you to be responsible for the sins of the morbid ones. And why should I (asws) not do so, and there reaches you from that (evil) man which shames you as well as shames me (asws), but you are (still like to) sit with them and narrate from them. So passer-by passes by, so he says, ‘They are more evil than this one’. So if there reaches you from them what you dislike, express your abhorrence to them, and forbid them. That would be better for you and for me (asws)’.
