10 about Ma. awyyiah Many traditions has been reported from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family. For example, Am. mar, the oppressive group will kill you in Siffin..

Al- SyyfltT has regarded this tradition as ensured by many lines of transmission. And Verily, All will wage ware against the mutineers (at- QasitIn), and they will be Mu. awiya and his soldiers..

25 Many Sunnis mentioned Imani al- Mahdi b. al- Hasan al- ‘Askary. They have admitted his existence and that he is al- Mau’nd (the promised one) See: Matlhib al-Sa’til, Al- Hjja by b. ‘Arab, Lawaqih Al- Anwar, Al- Tadhkira, Sharh Al- Dfi’ira, Al. FusfII Al- Muhima, Fara’id Al- Simtayn, and the like. Rather, some of them claimed that they had seen and met him.

26 I have written a study about ‘hadyth Al- Thaqalayn’, which proves that the Imams are Infallible and they know every thing. This study has been printed. Also I have a Study about the Knowledge of the Imam and its quality. May Allah grant us success to print it.

AL- SADIQ AND THE ADVERSITIES

1 AL-Anfal: 75.

2 (His name was) Radiuldrn Abü al- Qasim ‘Ali b. Mflsa al- Hasany al- Hilly. He was from the family of Tauws. He was a man of many abilities, such as knowledge, worship, asceticism, poetry, literature, composition, and eloquence. High miraculous acts are attributed to him. It was said:” He was the best worshipper and ascetic of the people of his time.” In some of his permissions, al- ‘Allfmah al- Hilly said:” Radiuldrn ‘Au had miraculous acts. Some of them have been reported. Also my father has told me some of them. And he was the best ascetic of the people of his time.”

3 al-Mansur performed the hajj during the days of al- Sffdiq, peace be on him, for three times in the years 140, 144, and 147. Also after the death of al- Sffdiq, he performed the hajj for two times in the years 152 and 158, but he did not complete the hajj. See Tarikh al- Ya’qtlby, printed in Najaf. Apparently, al- Mans(lr sent for al-Sadiq, peace be on him, during the first three years.

4 Al- Hadrd:15.

5 Al A ‘ref: a7-99.

6 Al- Najm:33- 34. These verses have a reminder, preaching, and threat. They denote that man is punished according to his acts not according to others’

7 I think that he wanted to say that it was necessary to explain the true state of affairs.

8 He wanted that he would invoke Allah against him after eacfrprayer. Such prayers are a part of the supplication of the oppressed person, which is not curtained.

9 We will mention this saying in the chapter: His chosen Commandments.

10 We have collected the supplications of al- SEdiq, peace be on him, in a book of 400 pages. We have called this book Du’a’ Al- Sadiq.

11 A land between Mecca and Medina. Before he became, Aba Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, had lived it. He was banished to it. He died and was buried at it.

12 Mohammed b. al- Hasan.

13 Ibin Abd Allah b. al- ‘AbNts. And he was aI- Manstlr’s uncle.

14 Al- Sadiq, peace be on him, was aware of the tradition. But he brought him some traditions to make him know his attitude towards blood relations.

15 Their killing was in the year 145 (A.H.), while al- Mansilr moved to Baghdad in the year 146, so their is no manifestation that he summoned him before their killing. Therefore, either he summoned him to Kufa- in this case there is a mistake made by the copies or the reporter- or he summoned him after their killing.

16 Al- Sldiq was not over seventy years of age. That was a guess made by Mohammed. And I think that he estimated his age over seventy because of his weak body.

17 ‘Al- Ahzab: 10.

18 al-Hady.

19 al-Rashid.

20 al-Amin.

21 See the footnote of the fifth attempt.

22 We will mention him in the chapter: Famous Reliable Reporters of Aba Abd Allah, peace be on him.

23 It was Baghdad. It was called so because he built it. He moved to it in the year 146 (A.H.). Maybe, he summoned al- Stdiq to it in this year.

24 Some of the Sunni scholarshave mentioned this miraculous act of Abu Abd Allah, peace be on him. They are al- Shiblanji in (his book) Nar Al- Absar, al- Sibt in Al-Tadhkira, Ibin Talha in Matalib Al- Sa’fll, Ibiri al- Sabbagh in Al- Fusfll, Ibin Hajar in Al- Sawa’q, and the like.

25 He has no biography in the books of our biographers. We know nothing about him except this report. According to this report, the later jurisprudents mentioned him. And this report clearly denotes that he was a shrte.

26 I think this story was after the killing of Mohammed and Ibidhim because the battles in Medina and Bakhimra and the prisons in al- Hrshimiya destroyed many of the Alawrds Also he killed some of them through patience. Maybe, be (al-Mansur) sent for him to come to Baghdad, too.

27 There was no heresy when he said:’ To obey Allah, His Apostle, and Axnrr al-Mu’minin though al-Mansur had no obedience, because the fear for the life and the dear forced him to come. So to keep them (i.e. his life and his dear things) was an incumbent on him while disobedience meant subjecting his life to danger.

28 These words show us that Mohammed was a ShT’te as well as knowledgeable. I wonder: How could he say these words frankly before al-Mansur. No wonder! Because al-Mansur was more knowledgeable than Mohammed concerning al- Sadiq, peace be on him.

29 We have collected the supplications of al- Sldiq in a book of four hundred pages. Still many supplications have escaped us.

2 Al-Kafi Chapter on the Birth of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family.

3 Abu al-Hasan al- Hadhali. He had valuable books. The most famous one of them is Murflj al- Dhahab. His doctrine was Imami. The two parties (ShI’a and Sunna depend on hina• Historians have not mentioned the year of his death exactly. It was said that he remained a live till the year 345 (A.H.).

4 As the Prophet, may Allah bless him and his family, said:" Whoever dies and does not know the Imam of his time dies the death of ignorant. "Namely,he is not Muslim and does not do anything is Islam.

5 We have proven the Imamate in the preface of this book. Also We have fully mentioned the qualities of the Imam in our book al- Shi’a Wa al- Imama.
