104 ـ بَابُ مَا يَجِبُ مِنْ حَقِّ الْإِمَامِ عَلَى الرَّعِيَّةِ وحَقِّ الرَّعِيَّةِ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ عليه‌السلام ‌

Chapter 104 – What is Obligated from the rights of the Imamasws upon the citizen and the rights of the citizen upon the Imamasws

1 ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مَا حَقُّ الامَامِ عَلَى النَّاسِ قَالَ حَقُّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَيُطِيعُوا قُلْتُ فَمَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ يَقْسِمَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالسَّوِيَّةِ وَيَعْدِلَ فِي الرَّعِيَّةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي النَّاسِ فَلا يُبَالِي مَنْ أَخَذَ هَاهُنَا وَهَاهُنَا

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws , ‘What is the right of the Imamasws upon the people?’ Heasws said: ‘Hisasws right upon them is that they should listen to himasws and obey himasws ’. I said, ‘So what is their right?’ Heasws said: ‘Heasws should distribute between them with the equality and do justice among the citizens. So when it was that among the people, so no one will fear who has taken this or that’.1

2 ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) مِثْلَهُ إِلا أَنَّهُ قَالَ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا يَعْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَخَلْفِهِ وَعَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws similar to it, except that heasws said: ‘Like this, and like this, and the like this and like this’, meaning from in front of him, and behind him, and from his right and from his left’.2

3 ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارُ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لا تَخْتَانُوا وُلاتَكُمْ وَلا تَغُشُّوا هُدَاتَكُمْ وَلا تَجْهَلُوا أَئِمَّتَكُمْ وَلا تَصَدَّعُوا عَنْ حَبْلِكُمْ فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَعَلَى هَذَا فَلْيَكُنْ تَأْسِيسُ أُمُورِكُمْ وَالْزَمُوا هَذِهِ الطَّرِيقَةَ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَوْ عَايَنْتُمْ مَا عَايَنَ مَنْ قَدْ مَاتَ مِنْكُمْ مِمَّنْ خَالَفَ مَا قَدْ تُدْعَوْنَ إِلَيْهِ لَبَدَرْتُمْ وَخَرَجْتُمْ وَلَسَمِعْتُمْ وَلَكِنْ مَحْجُوبٌ عَنْكُمْ مَا قَدْ عَايَنُوا وَقَرِيباً مَا يُطْرَحُ الْحِجَابُ

Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from some of our companions, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Neither betray your leaders, nor deceive your guides, nor be ignorant of your Imamsasws , nor crack your unity for you will fail and your power will depart, and let the foundation of your affairs be upon this, and necessitate this way. If you all were to see what your dead ones can see, from the ones who opposed what you have been called to, you would be convinced, and would come out and listen. But, it is veiled from you what they are seeing, and very soon the veil would be raised’.3

4 ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ وَغَيْرِهِ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ نُعِيَتْ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) نَفْسُهُ وَهُوَ صَحِيحٌ لَيْسَ بِهِ وَجَعٌ قَالَ نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الامِينُ قَالَ فَنَادَى (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الصَّلاةَ جَامِعَةً وَأَمَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَالانْصَارَ بِالسِّلاحِ وَاجْتَمَعَ النَّاسُ فَصَعِدَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) الْمِنْبَرَ فَنَعَى إِلَيْهِمْ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أُذَكِّرُ الله الْوَالِيَ مِنْ بَعْدِي عَلَى أُمَّتِي أَلا يَرْحَمَ عَلَى جَمَاعَةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَأَجَلَّ كَبِيرَهُمْ وَرَحِمَ ضَعِيفَهُمْ وَوَقَّرَ عَالِمَهُمْ وَلَمْ يُضِرَّ بِهِمْ فَيُذِلَّهُمْ وَلَمْ يُفْقِرْهُمْ فَيُكْفِرَهُمْ وَلَمْ يُغْلِقْ بَابَهُ دُونَهُمْ فَيَأْكُلَ قَوِيُّهُمْ ضَعِيفَهِمْ وَلَمْ يَخْبِزْهُمْ فِي بُعُوثِهِمْ فَيَقْطَعَ نَسْلَ أُمَّتِي ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ وَنَصَحْتُ فَاشْهَدُوا وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) هَذَا آخِرُ كَلامٍ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) عَلَى مِنْبَرِهِ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, and someone else, from Hannan Bin Sadeyr Al Sayrafi who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘The news of death was given to the Prophetsaww himselfsaww and hesaww was healthy, there wasn’t any pain with himsaww . The Trustworthy Ruh descended with it. So hesaww called for the congregational Salat and ordered the Emigrants and the Helpers with the weapons (to be ready). And the people gathered.

So the Prophetsaww ascended the Pulpit, and gave the news of death to them himselfsaww , then said: ‘Isaww remind and caution of Allahazwj the ruler from after mesaww upon mysaww community, that he should be merciful upon the group of Muslims, honour their elders and be merciful to their young ones, and dignify their scholars, and do not harm them so he would humiliate them, and not to impoverish them so they would disbelieve, and not close his door from them so their strong ones would devour their weak ones, and not pain them in their campaigns, so the lineages of mysaww community would be cut off’.

Then hesaww said: ‘Isaww have delivered and advised, therefore, bear witness!’ And Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘This is the last speech Rasool-Allahsaww spoke with upon hissaww Pulpit’.4

5 ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ قَالَ جَاءَ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) عَسَلٌ وَتِينٌ مِنْ هَمْدَانَ وَحُلْوَانَ فَأَمَرَ الْعُرَفَاءَ أَنْ يَأْتُوا بِالْيَتَامَى فَأَمْكَنَهُمْ مِنْ رُءُوسِ الازْقَاقِ يَلْعَقُونَهَا وَهُوَ يَقْسِمُهَا لِلنَّاسِ قَدَحاً قَدَحاً فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا لَهُمْ يَلْعَقُونَهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ الامَامَ أَبُو الْيَتَامَى وَإِنَّمَا أَلْعَقْتُهُمْ هَذَا بِرِعَايَةِ الابَاءِ

Muhammad Bin Ali, and someone else, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from A man, from Habeeb Bin Abu Sabit who said,

‘There came to Amir Al-Momineenasws , honey and figs from Hamdan, and gifts. So heasws ordered the officers that they should bring the orphans. So heasws enabled them from top for the tasting. They were licking it and heasws was distribution to the people, cup by cup. So it was said to himasws , ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws ! What is for them that they should be licking it?’ So heasws said: ‘The Imamasws is a father of the orphans, and rather this treat of theirs is due to the care of the father’.5

6 ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الاصْبَهَانِيِّ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) قَالَ أَنَا أَوْلَى بِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَعَلِيٌّ أَوْلَى بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِي فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَا مَعْنَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَوْلُ النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) مَنْ تَرَكَ دَيْناً أَوْ ضَيَاعاً فَعَلَيَّ وَمَنْ تَرَكَ مَالاً فَلِوَرَثَتِهِ فَالرَّجُلُ لَيْسَتْ لَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وِلايَةٌ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ أَمْرٌ وَلا نَهْيٌ إِذَا لَمْ يُجْرِ عَلَيْهِمُ النَّفَقَةَ وَالنَّبِيُّ وَأَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) وَمَنْ بَعْدَهُمَا أَلْزَمَهُمْ هَذَا فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ صَارُوا أَوْلَى بِهِمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمَا كَانَ سَبَبُ إِسْلامِ عَامَّةِ الْيَهُودِ إِلا مِنْ بَعْدِ هَذَا الْقَوْلِ مِنْ رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَإِنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَعَلَى عِيَالاتِهِمْ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Barqy, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, altogether from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Asbahany, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al Minqary, from Sufyan Bin Uyayna,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws that the Prophetsaww said: ‘Iasws am closer with every Momin than his own self, and Aliasws is the closest with it from after mesaww ’. So it was said to himasws , ‘What is the meaning of that?’ So heasws said: ‘The words of the Prophetsaww : ‘The one who leaves debts or losses, so it is upon mesaww , and the one who leaves wealth, so is it for his inheritors’.

Thus, the man is such that there isn’t an authority upon himself when there does not happen to be any wealth for him, and there isn’t any authority for him upon his dependants nor any forbidding when he does not cause the expenses to flow upon them. And the Prophetsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws , and theirasws successorsasws have made it (providing maintenance) a binding upon themselves. For this reason they have a greater authority over them than their own selves. The general masses of the Jews accepted Islam only after these words of Rasool Allahsaww . They found peace for themselves and for their dependents.’6

7 ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ صَبَّاحِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ أَوْ مُسْلِمٍ مَاتَ وَتَرَكَ دَيْناً لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي فَسَادٍ وَلا إِسْرَافٍ فَعَلَى الامَامِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَقْضِهِ فَعَلَيْهِ إِثْمُ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ إِنَّمَا الصَّدَقاتُ لِلْفُقَراءِ وَالْمَساكِينِ الايَةَ فَهُوَ مِنَ الْغَارِمِينَ وَلَهُ سَهْمٌ عِنْدَ الامَامِ فَإِنْ حَبَسَهُ فَإِثْمُهُ عَلَيْهِ

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, fom Ali Bin Al Hakam, fom Aban Bin Usman, from Sabbah Bin Sayaba,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Whichever Momin or Muslim dies and leaves debts which do not happen to be regarding corruption or extravagance, so it is upon the Imamasws that heasws fulfils it. Therefore, if heasws does not fulfil it, the sin of that would be upon himasws . Allahazwj Blessed and High is Saying [9:60] But rather, the charities are only for the poor and the needy – the Verse. So he is from the debtors, and for him would be a share with the Imamasws , and if heasws were to withhold it, so its sin would be upon himasws ’.7

8 ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ حَنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لا تَصْلُحُ الامَامَةُ إِلا لِرَجُلٍ فِيهِ ثَلاثُ خِصَالٍ وَرَعٌ يَحْجُزُهُ عَنْ مَعَاصِي الله وَحِلْمٌ يَمْلِكُ بِهِ غَضَبَهُ وَحُسْنُ الْوِلايَةِ عَلَى مَنْ يَلِي حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَهُمْ كَالْوَالِدِ الرَّحِيمِ

وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى حَتَّى يَكُونَ لِلرَّعِيَّةِ كَالابِ الرَّحِيمِ

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Bashir, from Hannan, from his father,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The Imamate is not correct except for a man in whom there are three characteristics – piety detaining himasws from disobeying Allahazwj, and forbearance heasws can control hisasws anger with, and good guardianship upon the ones heasws rules over until heasws happens to be like the merciful father to them’.

And in another report: ‘Until heasws happens to be to the citizens like the merciful father’.8

9- عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ حُكَيْمٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ طَبَرِسْتَانَ ـ يُقَالُ لَهُ: مُحَمَّدٌ ـ قَالَ: قَالَ مُعَاوِيَةُ: ولَقِيتُ الطَّبَرِيَّ مُحَمَّداً بَعْدَ ذلِكَ، فَأَخْبَرَنِي، قَالَ:سَمِعْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسى عليه‌السلام يَقُولُ: « الْمُغْرَمُ إِذَا تَدَيَّنَ أَوِ اسْتَدَانَ فِي حَقٍّ ـ الْوَهْمُ مِنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ ـ أُجِّلَ سَنَةً، فَإِنِ اتَّسَعَ، وإِلاَّ قَضى عَنْهُ الْإِمَامُ مِنْ بَيْتِ الْمَالِ ».

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muawiya Bin Hukeym, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from a man from Tabaristan called Muhammad, said, ‘Muawiya said, ‘And I met the Al Tabary, Muhammad, after that, so he informed me saying,

‘I heard Aliasws Bin Musaasws saying: ‘The debtor, when he lends a loan’, or ‘borrows regarding a right’ - the uncertainty O Muawiya (the narrator), he will be given one year’s time to pay. If he still cannot pay the Imamasws would fulfil it on his behalf from the Public Treasury’.9

105 ـ بَابُ أَنَّ الْأَرْضَ كُلَّهَا لِلْإِمَامِ عليه‌السلام ‌

Chapter 105 – The earth, all of it, is for the Imamasws

1 ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْكَابُلِيِّ عَنْ ابي جعفر (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ علي (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ الارْضَ لله يُورِثُها مَنْ يَشاءُ مِنْ عِبادِهِ وَالْعاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ أَنَا وَأَهْلُ بَيْتِيَ الَّذِينَ أَوْرَثَنَا الله الارْضَ وَنَحْنُ الْمُتَّقُونَ وَالارْضُ كُلُّهَا لَنَا فَمَنْ أَحْيَا أَرْضاً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلْيَعْمُرْهَا وَلْيُؤَدِّ خَرَاجَهَا إِلَى الامَامِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَلَهُ مَا أَكَلَ مِنْهَا فَإِنْ تَرَكَهَا أَوْ أَخْرَبَهَا وَأَخَذَهَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ فَعَمَرَهَا وَأَحْيَاهَا فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهَا مِنَ الَّذِي تَرَكَهَا يُؤَدِّي خَرَاجَهَا إِلَى الامَامِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَلَهُ مَا أَكَلَ مِنْهَا حَتَّى يَظْهَرَ الْقَائِمُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي بِالسَّيْفِ فَيَحْوِيَهَا وَيَمْنَعَهَا وَيُخْرِجَهُمْ مِنْهَا كَمَا حَوَاهَا رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَمَنَعَهَا إِلا مَا كَانَ فِي أَيْدِي شِيعَتِنَا فَإِنَّهُ يُقَاطِعُهُمْ عَلَى مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ وَيَتْرُكُ الارْضَ فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Khalid Al Kabuly,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Weasws found in the Book of Aliasws that [7:128] surely the earth is Allah's; He Causes such of His servants to inherit it as He so Desires, and the end is for those who are pious. Iasws and the Peopleasws of myasws Household are those whom Allahazwj Caused to inherit the earth, and weasws are the pious, and the earth, all of it is for usasws .

So the one from the Muslims who revives it, so let him build it and let him pay its tax to the Imamasws from the Peopleasws of myasws Household, and for him would be what he consumes from it. So if he were to neglect it or ruin it, and (another) man from the Muslims was to take it from after him, and he builds it, so he would be more rightful with it than the one who neglected it. He should pay its tax to the Imamasws from the Peopleasws of myasws Household, and for him would be whatever he consumes from it, until there appears Al-Qaimasws from the Peopleasws of myasws Household with the sword.

So heasws would contain it and prevent it and throw them out from it just as Rasool-Allahsaww had contained it and prevented it, except what was in the hands of ourasws Shias, so it would be their piece upon what is in their hands, and heasws would leave the land to be in their hands’.10

2 ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ قَالَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا لله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلَنَا فَمَنْ غَلَبَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهَا فَلْيَتَّقِ الله وَلْيُؤَدِّ حَقَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَلْيَبَرَّ إِخْوَانَهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فَالله وَرَسُولُهُ وَنَحْنُ بُرَآءُ مِنْهُ

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad who said, ‘Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah informed be, from the one who reported it saying,

‘The world and whatever is in it is for Allahazwj Blessed and High, and for Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and for usasws . So the one who overcomes upon anything from it, so let him fear Allahazwj, and let him pay the Right of Allahazwj Blessed and High, and let him be righteous with his brethren. So if he does not do that, then Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and weasws are disavowed from him’.11

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Umar Bin Yazeed who said,

‘I saw Misma’a at Al-Medina and he had carried some wealth to Abu Abdullahasws at that time, but Abu Abdullahasws returned it. So I said to him, ‘Abu Abdullahasws returned the wealth upon you which you had carried it to himasws ’. So he said to me, ‘I said to himasws when I carried the wealth over to himasws , ‘I was in charge of the pearls of Bahrain and I attained a profit of four hundred thousand Dirhams, and I have come to youasws with its fifth (Khums), with eighty thousand Dirhams, and I disliked it that I should withhold it and turn away with It, and it is yourasws right which Allahazwj Blessed and High Made it to be in our wealth’.

So heasws said: ‘Or what is for usasws from the earth and what Allahazwj Brings out from it except the Khums, O Abu Sayyar? Surely the earth, all of it, is for usasws . So whatever Allahazwj Brings forth from it, from anything, so it is for usasws ’. So I said to him, ‘And I shall carry all of the wealth to youasws ’. So heasws said: ‘O Abu Sayyar! Weasws have cleaned it for you and permited you from it. So keep your wealth with you and everything what is in the hands of ourasws Shias from the earth, so they are in permissibility with regards to it until ourasws Qaimasws rises.

So heasws would collect their levy on whatever would be in their hands and heasws would leave the land to be in their hands. And as for whatever would be in the hands of others (non-Shias), so their earning from the land is Prohibited upon them until ourasws Qaimasws rises. So heasws would seize the land from their hands and throw them out belittled’.

Umar Bin Yazeed said, ‘So Abu Sayyar said to him, I do not find anyone doing business or people as in charge persons of certain tasks, who earn their living lawfully except myself and those for whom theyasws ('A'immah) have made it lawful.12

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Abu Abdullah Al Razy, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from his father, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I said to himasws , ‘Is there any Zakāt upon the Imamasws ?’ So heasws said: ‘You have spoken an impossibility, O Abu Muhammad! Do you not know that the world and the Hereafter is for the Imamasws ? Heasws can place it wherever heasws so desires to and hands it over to whoever heasws so desires to. That is allowed for himasws from Allahazwj. The Imamasws , O Abu Muhammad, does not sleep at night, ever, and in hisasws neck is a Right of Allahazwj, Asking himasws about it’.13

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Salih Bin Hamza, from Aban Bin Mus’ab, from Yunus Bin Zabyan, or al Moalla Bin Khunays who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘What have you all (Imamsasws ) to do from the earth?’ So heasws smiled, then said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High Sent Jibraeelas and Commanded himas that heas furrows eight rivers by hisas big toe in the earth – from these is Sayhan, and Jayhan, and it is the river Balkh, and Al-Khashou, and it is River Shash, and Mihran, and it is a river of India, and Nile of Egypt, and Dajla, and Euphrates.

So whatever is watered from or drawn, so it is for usasws , and whatever was for usasws so it is for ourasws Shias, and there isn’t anything from it for ourasws enemies except what they have usurped upon, and that ourasws friends would be in (a place) more capacious in what is between this to this, meaning between the sky and the earth’.

Then heasws recited this Verse [7:32] Say: These are for the Believers in the life of this world the ones usurped upon especially on the Day of Judgement without being usurped’.14

‘I wrote to Al-Askaryasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! It is reported to us that there isn’t anything for Rasool-Allahazwj from the world except for the fifth (Khums)’. So the answer came: ‘The world and whatever is upon it is for Rasool-Allahsaww ’.15

Muhammad In Yahya, from Ahmad bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hammad, from Humeyd and Jabir Al Baghdady who said,

‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘Allahazwj Made measws as an Imamasws for Hisazwj creatures, so Heazwj Necessitated the management upon measws with regards to myselfasws and myasws meals, and myasws drinks, and myasws clothing (to be) like the weak people so that the poor one can follow the example of myasws poverty and the rich one does not transgress by his riches’.18

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws one day, ‘May I be sacrificed to youasws ! I remembered the family of so and so and what they are in from the Bounties, so I said, ‘If only that was for youasws , we would have lived with youasws (prosperously)’. So heasws said: ‘Far be it, O Moalla! But, by Allahazwj, had it been that, it would not have been except for hard labour (of protection) at night and strenuous work by the day, and wearing the coarse, and eating the tasteless. So that was Impeded from usasws . Have you ever seen a looted property Allah, the Most High, has turned into a blessing except this one (easy life for you while unjust Abbassids are in rule)?’19

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and some others, by their different chains,

‘Regarding the argumentation of Amir Al-Momineenasws upon Asim Bin Ziyad when he wore the cloak and neglected the appropriate (easy of life), and his brother Al-Rabie Bin Ziyad complained to Amir Al-Momineenasws that he (his brother by adapting strict life) had saddened his wife and grieved his children with that.

فَ So Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘(bring) Asim Bin Ziyad to measws !’ So they came with him. So when heasws saw him, heasws frowned his face and heasws said to him: ‘Are you not ashamed from your wife? Are you not being merciful to your children? Do you view that Allahazwj Permitted the good things for you and Heazwj would Abhor it if you were to take from these? You are lesser upon Allahazwj than that. Or, isn’t Allahazwj Saying [55:10] And the earth, He has set it for the living creatures [55:11] Therein is fruit and palms having sheathed clusters?

Or isn’t Allahazwj Saying [55:19] He United the two seas so they meet [55:20] Between them is a barrier which they do not violate – up to Hisazwj Words [55:22] There come forth from them pearls and rubies? So, by Allahazwj, utilisation of the Bounties of Allahazwj by the deeds is more Beloved to Himazwj than utilising them by the words, and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic has Said [93:11] And as for the Favour of your Lord, do announce (it)’.

Asim said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws ! So upon what do youasws confine (yourself) regarding yourasws food upon the tastelessness, and regarding yourasws clothing upon the coarseness?’ So heasws said: ‘Woe be unto you! Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Necessitated upon the Imamsasws of justice that they should manage themselves with the weak ones of the people, perhaps the poor might despair due to his poverty’. So Asim Bin Ziyad threw off the cloak and wore the appropriate’.20

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khazzaz, from Hammad Bin Usman who said,

‘I was present with Abu Abdullahasws and a man said to himasws , ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! I remember that Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws used to wear the coarse (clothing). Heasws was wearing the shirt of four Dirhams and what resembled that, and we see upon youasws the new clothing’.

So heasws said to him: ‘Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws was wearing that during the time period that it would not be denied upon himasws , and if heasws were to wear the likes of that today, heasws would be defamed by it. So the best clothing of every time period is the clothing worn by people (during that time), apart from that, ourasws Qaimasws of the Peopleasws of the Household, when heasws rises, would wear the clothing of Aliasws , and heasws would live by the way of Aliasws ’.21

No one has been named with it before himasws , nor would anyone be named with it after himasws except for ‘ كَافِرٌ ’ an Infidel’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! How should one greet upon himasws ?’ Heasws said: ‘They should be saying, ‘The greetings be upon youasws , O Remaining one of Allahazwj! (يَا بَقِيَّ اللَّه )’. Then heasws recited [11:86] The Remaining one of Allah is better for you if you are Believers’.23

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Washha, from Ahmad Bin Umar who said,

‘I asked Abu Al-Hassanasws , ‘Why was Amir Al-Momineenasws named as such?’ Heasws said: ‘Because heasws brings them (يَمِيرُهُمْ ) the knowledge. Have you nor heard in the Book of Allahazwj [ 12:65] and we will bring (نَمِيرُ ) grain for our family’.

And in another report, heasws said: ‘Because heasws nourished the Momineen from hisasws own presence, feeding them the knowledge’.24

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Numan, from Sallam,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws regarding the Words of the Exalted [2:136] Say: We believe in Allah and (in) that which had been Revealed unto us. Heasws said: ‘But rather it Means by that, Aliasws , and (Syeda) Fatimaasws , and Al-Hassanasws , and Al-Husaynasws , and it flows after themasws regarding the Imamsasws . Then the Words returned from Allahazwj regarding the people, so Heazwj Said [2:137] So if they – Meaning the people - were to believe as you believe in Him – Meaning Aliasws , and (Syeda) Fatimaasws and Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and the Imamsasws -

they would have been Guided on the right course, and if they were to turn back, then they are only in strife’.44

Heasws said: ‘It Means by it, ‘We were not the ones who followed the Imamsasws , those for whom Allahazwj Blessed and High Said regarding them [56:10] And the foremost are the foremost [56:11] These are the ones of proximity. Have you not seen the people naming the one who follows the preceding one in the race as ‘Musally’? So that is what they mean when they would be saying, ‘We were not of the ‘Musalleen’, i.e., we were not the ones who followed the foremost’.63

Heazwj is Saying: ‘We would give their hearts to drink the Eman’, and the Tareeqa (right way), it is Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the successorsasws ’.64

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Al Husayn Bin Usman, from Abu Ayoub, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [41:30] (As for) those who say: Our Lord is Allah, then are steadfast. So Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Being steadfast upon the Imamsasws , one after one the Angels descend upon them, saying: Fear not, nor be grieved, and receive good news of the Paradise which you were Promised’.65

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Washha, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the Words of Allahazwj the Exalted [34:46] Say: But rather, I exhort you to one thing. So heasws said: ‘But rather, Isaww exhort you all with the Wilayah of Aliasws , it is the ‘one thing’ which Allahazwj Blessed and High Spoke of [34:46] But rather, I exhort you to one thing’.66

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Awrama and Ali Bi Abdullah, from Ali Bin Hassan, from Abdul Rahman Bin Kaseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [4:137] Surely (as for) those who believe then disbelieve, again believe and again disbelieve, then increased in disbelief, Allah will never Forgive them. Heasws said: ‘It was Revealed regarding so and so, and so and so. They believed in the Prophetsaww regarding the first matter but they disbelieve when hesaww presented to them the Wilayah, when the Prophetsaww said: ‘The one whose Master Isaww was, so this Aliasws is his Master’.

Then they believed in the allegiance to Amir Al-Momineenasws , then they disbelieved when Rasool-Allahsaww passed away, so they did not acknowledge with the allegiance. Then the disbelief increased by their seizing the ones who pledged allegiance to himasws , by the pledging of the allegiance for them. Thus, they are such that there did not remain in them anything from the Eman’.67

And by this chain,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of the Exalted [47:25] Surely (as for) those who turn back on their backs after that Guidance has become manifest to them: ‘So and so, and so and so, and so and so reneged from the Eman regarding the neglect of the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws ’.

I said, ‘(What about) the Words of the Exalted [47:26] That is because they say to those who hate what Allah has Revealed: We will obey you in some of the affairs?’ Heasws said: ‘It was Revealed, by Allahazwj, regarding the two of them, and regarding their follower, and these are the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic which Jibraeelas descended with unto Muhammadsaww [47:26] That is because they say to those who hate what Allah has Revealed regarding Aliasws We will obey you in some of the affairs’.

Heasws said: ‘The Clan of Umayya called to their covenant that the command will not come to be among usasws after the Prophetsaww nor should weasws be given anything from the fifth (Khums), and they said, ‘If we were to give it to themasws , they would not be needy to anything and theyasws would not care if the command happens to be among themasws ’. So they said, ‘We shall obey you in some of the matters which you are calling us to, and it is the Khums, we shall not give themasws anything from it’.

And Hisazwj Words [47:26] hate what Allah has Revealed is what Allahazwj Revealed and which Allahazwj Revealed what Necessitated upon Hisazwj creatures from the Wilayah of Amir Al Momineenasws , and it was so that with them was Ubeyda, and he was their scribe, so Allahazwj Revealed [43:79] Or have they settled an affair? So We are the Settlers. [43:80] Or do they think that We do not Hear what they conceal and their secret discourses? – the Verse’.68

And by this chain, from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [22:25] and whoever shall incline therein to wrong unjustly. Heasws said: ‘It was regarding them when they entered the Kabah, so they made a pact and agreed upon their disbelief and their rejection with what was Revealed regarding Amir Al-Momineenasws , so they inclined to the wrong in the House (Kabah) being unjust to the Rasoolsaww and hissaww successoras [23:41] so away with the unjust people’.69

O group of beliers when Isaww gave you the news of the Message of mysaww Lordazwj regarding the Wilayah of Aliasws and of the Imamsasws from after himasws [67:29] so you shall come to know who it is that is in clear error.

And regarding the Words of the Exalted [4:135] and if you turn back or turn aside, heasws said: ‘If you turn back the matter and turn aside from what you have been Commanded with, then surely Allah is Aware of what you do’.

And regarding Hisazwj Words [41:27] Therefore We will most certainly make those who disbelieve by their neglecting the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen Taste a severe Punishment, and We will most certainly Recompense them for the evil deeds they used to do’.70

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Husayn Bin Nuaym Al Sahhaf who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about Hisazwj Words [64:2] so among you is an unbeliever and among you is a Believer. So heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Recognised their Eman by their Wilayah for usasws and their disbelief with it on the day Heazwj Took the Covenant upon them, and they were particles in the ‘Sulb’ of Adamas ’.

And I asked himasws about the Words of the Mighty and Majestic [64:12] And obey Allah and obey the Rasool, but if you turn back, then upon Our Rasool devolves only the clear delivery (of the Message). So heasws said: ‘By Allahazwj! The ones before you were not destroyed and the ones who are destroyed until the rising of Al-Qaimasws will not be destroyed except with regards to neglecting ourasws Wilayah, and denying ourasws rights; and Rasool-Allahsaww did not exit from the world until hesaww necessitated the necks of this community to ourasws rights. [2:213] and Allah Guides whom He so Desires to, to the Straight Path’.99

(It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’farasws , from his brotherasws Musaasws regarding the Words of the Exalted [22:45] and an abandoned well and a constructed palace (deserted), Heasws said: ‘The abandoned well is the silent Imamasws , and the constructed palace (deserted) is the speaking Imamasws ’.

And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Amraky, from Ali son of Ja’farasws , from Abu Al Hassanasws , similar to it.100

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of the Exalted [39:65] And it was Revealed to you and to those before you: If you associate, your deeds would be confiscated. Heasws said: ‘It Means that if you were to associate in the Wilayah other than himasws .

‘Ja’far Bin Muhammadasws narrated to me, from hisasws fatherasws , from hisasws grandfatherasws regarding the Words of the Mighty and Majestic [16:83] They are recognising the Favour of Allah, then they are denying it. Heasws said: ‘When it was Revealed [5:55] But rather, only Allah is your Guardian and His Rasool and those who believe, those who are establishing the Prayers and are paying the Zakat while bowing, a number of the companions of Rasool-Allahsaww gathered in the Masjid of Al-Medina.

So some of them said to the others, ‘What are you saying regarding this Verse?’ So, some of them said, ‘If we were to disbelieve in this Verse, we would be disbelieving with the rest of it, and if we believe, so this would be a humiliation when the sonasws of Abu Talibas would be empowered upon us’. So they said, ‘We have known that Muhammadsaww is truthful in whatever hesaww is saying, but we shall turn back on himsaww and we will not obey Aliasws in what hesaww is commanding us’.

Heasws said: ‘Thus, this Verse was Revealed [16:83] They are recognising the Favour of Allah, then they are denying it – Meaning the Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws , and most of them are disbelievers in the Wilayah’.102

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Bastam Bin Murra, from Is’haq Bin Hassan, from Al Haysam Bin Waqid, from Ali Bin Al Husayn Al Abady, from Sa’d Al Askaf,

(It has been narrated) from Al-Asbagh Bin Nubata who asked Amir Al-Momineenasws about the Words of the Exalted [31:14] Be grateful to Me and to both your parents; to Me is the eventual journey. So heasws said: ‘The two parent from whom Allahazwj Obligated the gratefulness, they are those who produced the knowledge and gave the wisdom as an inheritance, and the people are Commanded with obeying them. Then Allahazwj Said to Me is the eventual journey. So the journey of the servants is to Allahazwj, and the pointers upon that are the two parents.

Then Heazwj Turned the Words upon Ibn Hantama and his companions, so Heazwj Said regarding the specials ones and the general ones [31:15] And if they contend with you that you should associate with Me regarding the successorship and equate with the ones whom you have been Commanded with hisasws obedience, do not obey the two of them and do not listen to their words’.

ثُمَّ عَطَفَ الْقَوْلَ عَلَى الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَقَالَ:(وَصاحِبْهُما فِي الدُّنْيا مَعْرُوفاً) يَقُولُ: عَرِّفِ النَّاسَ فَضْلَهُمَا، وادْعُ إِلى سَبِيلِهِمَا، وذلِكَ قَوْلُهُ:(وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنابَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ) فَقَالَ: إِلَى اللهِ ثُمَّ إِلَيْنَا، فَاتَّقُوا اللهَ ولَاتَعْصُوا الْوَالِدَيْنِ ؛ فَإِنَّ رِضَاهُمَا رِضَى اللهِ، وسَخَطَهُمَا سَخَطُ اللهِ ».

Then Heazwj Turned the Words upon the two parents, so Heazwj Said and keep company with the two of them in the world kindly. Heazwj is Saying to introduce the people to theirasws merits and call to theirasws ways, and that is in Hisazwj Words and follow the way of him who turns to Me, then to Me is your return.

So heasws said: ‘To Allahazwj, then to usasws , therefore fear Allahazwj do not disobey the two (spiritual) parents (Muhammadsaww and Aliasws ), for theirasws pleasure is the Pleasure of Allahazwj, and theirasws anger is the Anger of Allahazwj’. 104

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Sayf, from his father, from Amro Bin Hureys who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Words of Allahazwj [ 14:24] like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branches are in the sky. So heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww is its root and Amir Al-Momineenasws its branch are the Imamsasws from theirasws (Rasool-Allahsaww and Amir Al-Momineenasws ) descendants, and the knowledge of the Imamsasws stands for the fruits, and theirasws Shias, the Momineen are its leaves. Is there any excess in this?’ I said, ‘No, by Allahazwj’. Heasws said: ‘The Momin is born, so a leaf sprouts in it, and if the Momin dies, so a leaf falls from it’.105

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [6:158] its faith shall not profit a soul, which did not believe before – Meaning during the Covenant, or earn good through its faith. Heasws said: ‘The acknowledgement with the Prophetsas and the succesorsas and Amir Al-Momineenasws in particular’. Heasws said: ‘Its Eman would not benefit it because it would have been Confiscated’.106

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a who said,

‘I asked Abu Ja’farasws about the capability and the words of the people. So heasws said and recited this Verse: ‘[11:118] and they will not stop differing [11:119] Except for those on whom your Lord has Mercy; and it is for that did He Create them. Heasws said: ‘O Abu Ubeyda! The people are differing regarding the correct words, and all of them are destroyed’. I said, ‘(But what about) Hisazwj Words 11:119] Except for those on whom your Lord has Mercy?’ Heasws said: ‘These are ourasws Shias, and it is for Hisazwj Mercy did Heazwj Create them, and it is in Hisazwj Words and it is for that did He Create them.

Heazwj is Saying for the obedience of the Imamasws of the Mercy which Heazwj is Saying [7:156] and My Mercy encompasses all things. Heazwj is Saying that the knowledge of the Imamasws and that which is from hisasws knowledge encompasses everything, they being ourasws Shias’.

Then Heazwj Said so I will Ordain it (specially) for those who are fearing, Meaning the wilayah of another imam (leader) and his obedience. Then Heazwj Said [7:157] whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Evangel Meaning the Prophetsaww and the successorasws and Al-Qaimasws (who) enjoins them good when heasws rises and forbids them from the evil, the one who denies the merits of the Imamasws and rejects it. and makes lawful to them the good things, taking of the knowledge from its rightful ones, and makes unlawful to them bad things, and the bad things are the words of the one who opposes.

And removes from them their burden and these are the sins which they used to be in before their recognition of the merits of the Imamasws , and the shackles which were upon and the shackles of what they were saying from what they did not happen to have been ordered with, from neglecting the merits of the Imamsasws . So when they do recognise the merits of the Imamasws , their offences would be removed from them, and the offence is the sin, and it is the offence’.

Then Heazwj Linked them, so Heazwj Said so (as for) those who believe in him Meaning the Imamasws , and honour him and help him, and follow the Light which has been Sent down with him, these it is that are the successful. Meaning those who kept aside from the ‘Jibt’ and ‘Taghoot’. And the ‘Jibt’ and ‘Taghoot’ is so and so, and so and so, and so and so, and the worship is the obedience of the people to them’.

[39:54] And return to your Lord time after time and submit to Him. Then Heazwj Recompensed them so Heazwj Said [10:64] For them is good news in the life of the world and in the Hereafter. And the Imamasws gives them the good news of the rising of Al-Qaimasws and of hisasws appearance, and of the killing of their enemies, and of the salvation in the Hereafter, and the return to Muhammadsaww , may Allahazwj Send Salawat upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws , the truthful, at the Fountain’.108

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabaty who said,

‘I asked Abu Abdullahasws about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [3:162] Is then he who follows the Pleasure of Allah like him who has made himself deserving of Wrath from Allah, and his abode is Hell; and it is an evil destination [3:163] There are (varying) Levels with Allah.

So heasws said: ‘Those who are following the Pleasure of Allahazwj, theyasws are the Imamsasws , O Ammar!. There are varying levels for the Momineen (followers of 12 Imamsasws ), and by their Wilayah and their recognition (understanding) of usasws . Allahazwj would Multiply their deeds for them and Allahazwj would Raise for them the lofty levels’.109

Ali Bin Muhammad and someone else, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ziyad Al Qindy, from Ammar Al Asady,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [35:10] To Him do ascend the good words; and the good deeds lift them up – ourasws Wilayah of the Peopleasws of the Household’, and heasws gestured by hisasws hand to hisasws chest, (then said): ‘So the one who does not have ourasws Wilayah, Allahazwj will not Raise his deed for him’ (none of his deeds will be accepted).110

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [57:28] He will give you all two portions of His Mercy Heasws said: ‘Al-Hassanasws and Al-Husaynasws and Make for you a Light with which you will walk.

Alli Bin Ibrahim, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad Al Jowharey, from some of his companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding Hisazwj Words [10:53] And they are asking you: Is it true? Heasws said: ‘What yousaww are saying regarding Aliasws ’. Say: Yes! By my Lord! It is most surely the Truth, and you will not be escaping it’.112

Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from his father, from Aban Bin Taghlub,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I said to himasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! Hisazwj Words [90:11] But he would not attempt the uphill road’. So heasws said: ‘The one whom Allahazwj has Honoured with ourasws Wilayah, so he has crossed the uphill road, and weasws are that uphill road which, one who attempts it, would attain salvation’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So heasws was silent, then heasws said to me: ‘Shall Iasws give you a sentence (حَرْفاً ) which is better for you than the world and whatever is in it?’ I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for youasws !’ Heasws said: ‘Hisazwj Words [90:13] (It is) the setting free of a slave’. Then heasws said: ‘The people, all of them are slaves of the Fire, apart from you and your companions, for Allahazwj has Freed your necks from the Fire by ourasws Wilayah, of the Peopleasws of the Household’.113

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salma Bin Al Khattab, from Al Hassan Bin Abdul Rahman, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [19:73] And when Our clear Verses are recited to them, those who disbelieve say to those who believe: Which of the two sects is better in position and best in assembly?

Heasws said: ‘It was so that Rasool-Allahsaww called the Qureysh to ourasws Wilayah, but they fled and denied. So those who disbelieved from the Qureysh said to those who believed from the Qureysh, ‘Are you acknowledging to Amir Al-Momineenasws and for us there are family members, Which of the two sects is better in position and best in assembly? In order to humiliate from them. So Allahazwj Rebutted upon them 19:74] And how many of the generations have We Destroyed before them who were better in respect of equipment and outwardly appearance!’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [19:75] Say: As for him who was in error, the Beneficent would Prolong his term’. Heasws said: ‘All of them used to be in the straying, not believing in the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws nor in ourasws Wilayah. Thus, they were straying, and leading (others) astray. So Heazwj Extended for them in their straying and their rebellion until they died, so Allahazwj Caused them to come to an evil place and weakest army’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [19:75] until they see what they were threatened with, either the Punishment or the Hour; So they shall soon be knowing who was in an evil position and a weaker army’. Heasws said: ‘As for Hisazwj Words until they see what they were threatened with, so that is the coming out of Al-Qaimasws , and it is the Hour, So they shall soon be knowing that day and what descends with them from Allahazwj upon the hands of Hisazwj Qaimasws . Thus, these are Hisazwj Words who was in an evil position, Meaning in the presence of Al-Qaimasws , and and a weaker army’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [19:76] And Allah would Increase in Guidance those who (seek) Guidance. Heasws said: ‘Heazwj would Increase them on that day, Guidance upon Guidance, due to their following Al-Qaimasws , when they will neither be rejecting himasws nor denying himasws ’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [19:87] They shall not have control over intercession, except he who took a Covenant with the Beneficent. Heasws said: ‘Except the one who made it a Religion of allahazwj by the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws and the Imamsasws from after himasws , so it is the Covenant with Allahazwj’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [19:96] (As for) those who believe and do righteous deeds, the Beneficent would Make the cordiality for them’. Heasws said: ‘Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws , it is the cordiality which Allahazwj the Exalted Speaks of’.

I said, ‘[19:97] So We have Made it easy by your tongue that you may give good news thereby to the pious and warn thereby a contentious people’. Heasws said: ‘But rather, Allahazwj Made it to be easy upon hissaww tongue when hesaww established Amir Al-Momineenasws as a flag, so the Momineen were given glad tidings by it and the disbelievers were warned by it, and they are those whom Allahazwj Mentioned in Hisazwj Book as ‘contentious’, i.e., disbelievers’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked himasws about the Words [36:6] That you may warn a people (with) what their fathers were warned about, so they are heedless. Heasws said: ‘In order to warn the people whom yousaww are among just as their fathers were warned, but they were heedless from Allahazwj, and from Hisazwj Rasoolsaww , and from Hisazwj Threats.

[36:7] The Word has proved to be True for most of them from the ones who are not acknowledging with the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws and the Imamsasws from after himasws . Thus, they do not believe in the Imamate of Amir Al-Momineenasws and the successorsasws from after himasws . So when they were not acknowledging, their consequential Punishment was what Allahazwj Mentioned [36:8] Surely, We have placed chains on their necks, and these reach up to their chins, so they have their heads raised aloft in the Fire of Hell.

Then Heazwj Said 36:9] And We have made in front of them a barrier and a barrier behind them, so We have Covered them over, so they are not seeing the consequential Punishment for them when they denied the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws and the Imamsasws from after himasws . This is in the world, and in the Hereafter it is the Fire of Hell with their heads raised aloft.

Then Heazwj Said: “O Muhammadsaww ! [36:10] And it is alike to them whether you warn them or do not warn them, they will not be believing in the Wilayah of Aliasws and the onesasws from after himasws . Then Heazwj Said [36:11] But rather, You can only warn him who follows the Reminder Meaning Amir Al-Momineenasws , and fears the Beneficent in secret; so announce to him O Muhammadsaww , the good news of Forgiveness and an honourable Recompense’.115

إِنَّهُمْ ساءَ ما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ ذلِكَ بِأَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِرِسَالَتِكَ وَكَفَرُوا بِوَلايَةِ وَصِيِّكَ فَطُبِعَ الله عَلى‏ قُلُوبِهِمْ فَهُمْ لا يَفْقَهُونَ قُلْتُ مَا مَعْنَى لا يَفْقَهُونَ قَالَ يَقُولُ لا يَعْقِلُونَ بِنُبُوَّتِكَ قُلْتُ وَإِذا قِيلَ لَهُمْ تَعالَوْا يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ رَسُولُ الله قَالَ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمُ ارْجِعُوا إِلَى وَلايَةِ عَلِيٍّ يَسْتَغْفِرْ لَكُمُ النَّبِيُّ مِنْ ذُنُوبِكُمْ لَوَّوْا رُؤُسَهُمْ قَالَ الله وَرَأَيْتَهُمْ يَصُدُّونَ عَنْ وَلايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَهُمْ مُسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ عَطَفَ الْقَوْلَ مِنَ الله بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ بِهِمْ فَقَالَ سَواءٌ عَلَيْهِمْ أَسْتَغْفَرْتَ لَهُمْ أَمْ لَمْ تَسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ لَنْ يَغْفِرَ الله لَهُمْ إِنَّ الله لا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الْفاسِقِينَ يَقُولُ الظَّالِمِينَ لِوَصِيِّكَ قُلْتُ أَ فَمَنْ يَمْشِي مُكِبًّا عَلى‏ وَجْهِهِ أَهْدى‏ أَمَّنْ يَمْشِي سَوِيًّا عَلى‏ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ قَالَ إِنَّ الله ضَرَبَ مَثَلَ مَنْ حَادَ عَنْ وَلايَةِ عَلِيٍّ كَمَنْ يَمْشِي عَلَى وَجْهِهِ لا يَهْتَدِي لامْرِهِ وَجَعَلَ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ سَوِيّاً عَلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ وَالصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ قَوْلُهُ إِنَّهُ لَقَوْلُ رَسُولٍ كَرِيمٍ قَالَ

Ali Bin Muhammad, from some of our companions, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Maazyasws (7th Imamasws ), said, ‘I asked Himasws about the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [61:8] They are intending to extinguish the Light of Allah with their mouths. Heasws said: ‘They are intending to extinguish the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws with their mouths (talking against it)’. I said, ‘but Allah will Complete His light’. Heasws said: ‘And Allahazwj will Complete the Imamat due to Hisazwj Words, the Mighty and Majestic [64:8] Therefore believe in Allah and His Rasool and the Light which We have Sent down. So the Light, it is the Imamasws ’.

I said, ‘[61:9] He it is Who sent His Messenger with the Guidance and the true Religion’. Heasws said: ‘Heazwj is Who Commanded Hisazwj Rasoolsaww with the Wilayah of hissaww successorasws , and the Wilayah - is the true Religion’. I said, ‘That He may make it overcome the religions, all of them’. Heasws said: ‘Overcome upon the entirety of the Religions during the rising of Al-Qaimasws ’.

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj is Saying: but Allah will Complete His light, the Wilayah of Al-Qaimasws though the unbelievers may be averse to it, the Wilayah of Aliasws ’. I said, ‘This is Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes. As for this word, so it is Revelation, and as for other than it, so it is explanation’.

I said, ‘[63:3] That is because they believe, then disbelieve. Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Blessed and High has Named the one who does not follow Hisazwj Rasoolsaww regarding the Wilayah of hissaww successorasws , as a hypocrite, and Made the one who rejects the Imamate of hissaww successorasws like the one who rejects Muhammadsaww , and the Quran was Revealed with that. So Heazwj Said: “O Muhammadsaww ! [63:1] When the hypocrites come to you, with the Wilayah of Aliasws they say: We testify that you are Rasool-Allah; and Allah knows that you are His Rasool, and Allah Testifies that the hypocrites with the Wilayah of Aliasws , are liars [63:2] They are making their oaths to be a cover, and thus turning away from Allah's Way, and Allahazwj Way, it is the successorasws . surely evil is that which they are doing. That is because they are believing in yoursaww Messenger-ship and are disbelieving in the Wilayah of yoursaww successorasws . Thus a seal is set upon their hearts so that they do not understand.

I said, ‘What is the meaning of ‘they do not understand’?’ Heasws said: ‘Heazwj is Saying: “They do not understand yoursaww Prophet-hood”’. I said, ‘[63:5] And when it is said to them: Come, the Messenger of Allah will ask forgiveness for you. Heasws said: ‘And when it is said to them: ‘Return to the Wilayah of Aliasws , the Prophetsaww would seek Forgiveness for you all for your sins they turn back their heads. Allahazwj Said: “And you will see them blocking from the Wilayah of Aliasws , while they are big with arrogance over it.

Then the Words of Allahazwj Turned by hisas understanding with them, so Heazwj Said [63:6] It is Alike to them whether you seek Forgiveness for them or do not seek Forgiveness for them; Allah will never Forgive them; surely Allah does not guide the transgressing people. Heazwj is Saying: “The ones unjust to yoursaww successorasws ”’.

I said, ‘[67:22] Is the one who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a Straight Path?’ Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj Struck an example of the one who is guided away from the Wilayah of Aliasws to be like the one who falls prone upon his face, having no guidance for his affairs, whereas (Allahazwj) Made the one who follows himasws as walking upright upon the Straight Path, and the Straight Path is Amir Al-Momineenasws ’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘[69:40] Most surely, it is the Word of an Honoured Messenger’. Heasws said: ‘It Means Jibraeelas , from Allahazwj, regarding the Wilayah of Aliasws ’. I said, ‘[69:41] And it is not the word of a poet; little it is that you believe’. Heasws said: ‘They are saying that Muhammadsaww is a liar upon hissaww Lordazwj, and Allahazwj did not Command himsaww with this regarding Aliasws . So Allahazwj Revealed Quran due to that, so Heazwj Said: “The Wilayah of Aliasws [69:43] It is a Revelation from the Lord of the Worlds [69:44] And if he had fabricated against Us some of the sayings, [69:45] We would certainly have seized him by the right hand, [69:46] Then We would certainly have cut off his aorta (vein).

Then the Speech turned, so Heazwj Said [69:48] And it, the Wilayah of Aliasws , is a Reminder for the pious. [69:49] And We know that some of you are beliers. [69:50] And it the Wilayah of Aliasws is a regret to the unbelievers. [69:51] And most surely it, the Wilayah, is the true certainty [69:52] So Glorify the Name of your Lord, the Magnificent. Heazwj is Saying that you should thank your Lordazwj the Magnificent Who Gave you this Grace’.

I said, ‘[72:13] And that when we heard the guidance, we believed in it’. Heasws said: ‘The Guidance is the Wilayah. So whoever believes in the Wilayah of his Lord, he should neither fear loss nor Punishment’. I said, ‘Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘(sure) without Explanation’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [72:21] Say: I do not control for you evil or good’. Heasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww called the people to the Wilayah of Aliasws . So the Qureysh gathered to himsaww and they said, ‘O Muhammadsaww ! Excuse us from this!’ So Rasool-Allahsaww said to them: ‘This is to Allahazwj, it isn’t to mesaww ’. So they accused himsaww and exited from hissaww presence.

Thus, Allahazwj Revealed [72:21] Say: I do not control for you evil or good [72:22] Say: Surely no one can protect me against Allah, nor can I find besides Him any place of refuge: [72:23] It is a Preaching from Allah and His Message regarding Aliasws ’. I said, ‘This is Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’. Then heasws said:

‘An emphasis - and whoever disobeys Allah and His Rasool regarding the Wilayah of Aliasws surely he shall have the fire of Hell to abide therein for ever’.

I said, ‘[72:24] Until when they see what they are threatened with, then shall they know who is weaker in helpers and fewer in number. (Heasws said): ‘It Means by that Al-Qaimasws and hisasws helpers’.

I said, ‘[73:10] And bear patiently at what they are saying’. Heasws said: ‘(What) they are saying regarding yousaww and avoid them with a becoming avoidance. [73:11] And leave to Me, O Muhammadsaww , the beliers of your successor, the possessors of ease and plenty, and respite them a little’. I said, ‘This is Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’.

I said, ‘[74:31] that those who have been Given the Book may be certain’. Heasws said: ‘That they would become convinced that Allahazwj and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww and hissaww successorasws are true’. I said, ‘and those who believe may increase in faith’. Heasws said: ‘And they would be increased in faith of the Wilayah of the successorasws ’. I said, ‘and those who have been Given the Book and the believers may not doubt’. Heasws said: ‘In the Wilayah of Aliasws ’. I said, ‘What is this doubt?’ Heasws said: ‘It Means by that the People of the Book and the Momineen whom Allahazwj Mentioned, so Heazwj Said: “And they shall not be doubting regarding the Wilayah”.

I said, ‘and this is naught but a reminder to the humans’. Heasws said: ‘Yes, the Wilayah of Aliasws ’. I said, ‘[74:35] Surely it is one great’. Heasws : ‘The Wilayah’. I said, ‘[74:37] To him among you who wishes to go forward or remain behind’. Heasws said: ‘The one who goes forward to ourasws wilayah would remain away from ‘Saqar’ (a valley of Hell), but the one who remains behind from usasws , would go towards the Saqar [74:39] Except the people of the right hand’. Heasws said: ‘They, by Allahazwj, are ourasws Shias’.

I said, ‘[74:43] They shall say: We were not of those who sent Prayed (Musalleen)’. Heasws said: ‘(They are saying), ‘We did not (have) the Wilayah of the successorasws of Muhammadsaww and the successorsasws from after himasws , nor did we send Salawat upon themasws ’. I said, ‘[74:49] What is then the matter with them, that they turn away from the admonition?’ Heasws said: ‘(Turning away) from the Wilayah ‘. I said, ‘[74:54] Nay! it is surely a admonition’. Heasws said: ‘The Wilayah’.

I said, ‘Hisazwj Words [76:7] They fulfil vows’. Heasws said: ‘Fulfilling the vows which Allahazwj Took upon them regarding the Covenant, of ourasws Wilayah’.

I said, ‘[76:23] Surely We Ourselves have Revealed the Quran to you Revealing (it) gradually’. Heasws said: ‘By the Wilayah of Aliasws (to be Revealed) gradually’. I said, ‘This is Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes, that is explanation’. I said, ‘[76:29] Surely this is a Reminder’. Heasws said: ‘The Wilayah’. I said ‘[76:31] He Makes whom He pleases to enter into His Mercy’. Heasws said: ‘Into ourasws Wilayah, and (as for) the unjust, He has prepared for them a painful Chastisement. Have you not seen that Allahazwj is Saying [2:57] and they were not unjust to Us but they were unjust to themselves?

Heasws said: ‘Allahazwj is more Honourable and more Benevolent than that Heazwj should be unjust or link Himself to an injustice, but Allahazwj Mingled usasws with Himselfsaww , so Heazwj Declares the injustice to usasws as being injustice to Himazwj, and ourasws Wilayah as being Hisazwj Wilayah. Then Heazwj Revealed Quran upon Hisazwj Prophetsaww with that, so Heazwj Said [2:57] and they were not unjust to Us but they were unjust to themselves’. I said, ‘This is Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’.

I said, ‘[77:15] Woe on that day to the beliers’. Heasws said: ‘Heazwj is Saying: “O Muhammadsaww , Woe be unto the beliers of what Iazwj Revealed unto yousaww from the Wilayah of Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws . [77:16] Did We not destroy the former ones? [77:17] Then did We follow them up with later ones. The former ones are those who belied the Rasoolsas with regards to obedience of the succesorsas. [77:18] Even thus shall We deal with the guilty. The ones who are guilty to the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww and did from hissaww successorasws what they did’.

I said, ‘[77:41] Surely, those who guard (against evil)’. Heasws said: ‘Usasws , by Allahasws , and ourasws Shias. There isn’t anyone upon the Religion of Ibrahimas apart from us, and the rest of the people are away from it’.

I said, ‘[78:38] The Day on which the Spirit and the Angels shall stand in ranks; they shall not speak – the Verse’. Heasws said: ‘Weasws , by Allahazwj are he whom the Beneficent Allah permits and who speaks the right thing’. I said, ‘What will youasws be saying when youasws will be speaking?’ Heasws said: ‘Weasws would Praise ourasws Lordazwj, and weasws would send Salawat upon ourasws Prophetsaww , and weasws would intercede for ourasws Shias. So, ourasws Lordazwj will not be Preventing usasws ’.

I said, ‘[83:7] Nay! most surely the record of the wicked is in the Sijjeen’. Heasws said: ‘They are those who were wicked with regards to the rights of the Imamsasws and they transgressed against themasws ’.

I said, ‘[83:17] Then shall it be said: This is what you gave the lie to’. Heasws said: ‘Meaning, (belying) Amir Al-Momineenasws ’. I said, ‘This is Revelation?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’.116

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salma Bin Al Khattab, from Al Husayn Bin Abdul Rahman, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws regarding the Words of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic [20:124] And whoever ignores My Guidance will live a woeful life. Heasws said: ‘It Means ignoring the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws ’.

I said, ‘and We will Resurrect him on the Day of Judgement, blind?’ Heasws said: ‘It Means blind of vision in the Hereafter, and blind of the heart in the world from the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws . And he would be confused on the Day of Judgment [20:125] He shall say: Lord! Why have You Resurrected me blind and I was a seeing one beforehand? [20:126] He will say: Even so, Our Signs came to you. The Signs are the Imamsasws , but you forgot them; even thus shall you be Forsaken this Day. You forgot, meaning neglected themasws , and similarly you will be neglected in the Fire just as you neglected the Imamsasws . So you did not obey theirasws orders and did not listen to theirasws speech’.

I said, ‘[20:127] And thus do We Recompense him who is extravagant and does not believe in the Signs of his Lord, and the Punishment of the Hereafter is severer and more lasting’. Heasws said: ‘It Means the one who associates with the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws someone else, and does not believe in the Signs of his Lordazwj, and deliberately neglects the Imamsasws . So he neither follows theirasws Ahadeeth, nor acknowledges theirasws Wilayah’.

I said, ‘[42:19] Allah is Gentle to His servants; He Gives sustenance to whom He Desires to’. Heasws said: ‘Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineenasws ’. I said, ‘[42:20] Whoever desires the gain of the Hereafter’. Heasws said: ‘Recognition of Amir Al-Momineenasws and the Imamsasws , We will give him more of that gain. Heasws said: ‘Weazwj shall Increase him from it’. Heasws said: ‘He would be fulfilled his share from theirasws government. and whoever desires the gain of this world, We give him of it, and in the Hereafter he has no portion. Heasws said: ‘There wouldn’t be a share for him, in the government of the truth along with Al-Qaimasws ’.117

Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan, and Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Ibn Qaib, from Bukeyr Bin Ayn who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws was saying: ‘Allahazwj Took the Covenant of ourasws Shias with the Wilayah, and they were particles on the Day the Covenant was Taken upon the particles, and the acknowledgment to Himazwj of the Lordship, and to Muhammadsaww with the Prophet-hood’.118

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie, from Salih Bin Uqba, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Ja’fary,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws , and from Uqba, from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Created the creatures. So Heazwj Created whatever Heazwj Loved from what Heazwj Loved, and it was so that what Heazwj Loved, Heazwj Created from the clay of the Paradise. And Heazwj Created whatever Heazwj Hated from what Heazwj Hated, and it was so that what Heazwj Hated, Heazwj Created from the clay of the Fire. Then Heazwj Sent them into the shadows’.

So I said, ‘And which thing is ‘the shadows’?’ Heasws said: ‘Do you not see your own shadow in the sun, it is something, but it isn’t a thing? Then Heazwj Sent the Prophetsas among them, calling them to the acknowledgment of Allahazwj, and these are Hisazwj Words [43:87] And if you should ask them who created them, they would certainly say: Allah.

Then Heazwj Called them to the acknowledgment with the Prophetssaww . So some of them acknowledged, and some of them denied. Then Heazwj Called them to ourasws Wilayah. So the one who acknowledges it, by Allahazwj, is the one whom Heazwj Loved, and the one who denied it, he is the one whom Allahazwj Hated. And these are Hisazwj Words [10:74] but they would not believe in what they had belied before’. Then Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘It was so that the belying was then and there’.119

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abdul A’ala who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘There is none from a Prophetsaww who came except with recognition of ourasws rights and ourasws merits over the ones besides usasws ’.121

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws , said, ‘I heard himasws saying: ‘By Allahazwj! In the sky there are seventy rows of Angels. If the inhabitants of the earth, all of them were to gather together to count the number of each row of them, they would not be (able to) count them, and they are (all) having a Religion with ourasws Wilayah’.122

Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassanasws having said: ‘The Wilayah of Aliasws is inscribed in the entirety of the Parchments of the Prophets, and Allahazwj never Sent a Rasoolas or a Prophetas except with the Prophet-hood of Muhammadsaww and Aliasws ’ as hissaww Successorasws .123

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Jamhour who said, ‘Yunus narrated to us, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Al Fuzayl Bin Yasaar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Nominated Aliasws as a flag between Himazwj and Hisazwj creatures. So the one who recognises himasws would be a Momin, and the one who denies himasws would be a disbeliever, and the one who is ignorant of himasws would be straying, and the one who establishes anything with himasws would be an associator (Mushrik), and the one who comes with hisasws Wilayah would enter the Paradise’.124

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Washha, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘I heard Abu Ja’farasws saying: ‘Aliasws is a door which Allahazwj Opened. So the one who enters it would be a Momin, and the one who exits from it would be a disbeliever, and the one who does not enter it and does not exit from it would be in the layer (under a category about) which Allahazwj Blessed and High has Said: ‘For Meazwj, regarding them, is the (pending) decision’.125

So Amir Al-Momineenasws said to him: ‘You are lying!’ He said, ‘Yes, by Allahazwj, I do love youasws and acknowledge yourasws Wilayah’. And he re-iterated thrice.

So Amir Al-Momineenasws said to him: ‘You are lying! You are not as you are saying to be. Allahazwj Created the spirits before the bodies by two thousand years. Then Heazwj Presented to usasws those who love usasws . So, by Allahazwj, Iasws did not see your Spirit among the ones who were Presented. So where were you?’ So the man was silent during that and did not respond to himasws ’.

And in another report, Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘He was in the Fire’.127

Ahmad Bin Idrees and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Kufy, from Ubeys Bin Hisham, from Abdullah Bin Suleyman,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘I asked himasws about the Imamasws . ‘Has Allahazwj Authorise to himasws just as Heazwj had Authorised to Suleymanas Bin Dawoodas?’ So heasws said: ‘Yes’. And that is, that a man asked himasws a question, so heasws answered him with regards to it; and another man asked him that very question, so heasws answered him with other than the answer of the first one. Then another one asked himasws , so heasws answered him with other than the answer of the two former ones. Then heasws said: ‘[38:39] This is Our Gift, therefore withhold or give out freely without measure; and like this it is in the recitation of Aliasws ’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May Allahazwj Keep youasws well! So when heasws answers them with these answers, does the Imamasws understand them?’ Heasws said: ‘Glory be to Allahazwj! Have you not hear Allahazwj Saying [15:75] Surely, in this are Signs for those who distinguish (the marks)? And theyasws are the Imamsasws [15:76] And surely it is on a road that still abides, not coming out from it, ever!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws said to me: ‘Yes, the Imamasws , when he looks at the man, heasws recognises himasws and recognises hisasws colour, and if heasws hears hisasws speech from behind a wall, recognises him and recognises who is he. Allahazwj is Saying [30:22] And from His Signs is the creation of the skies and the earth and the diversity of your tongues and colours; most surely there are Signs in this for the scholar. And theyasws are the Scholars. So there isn’t anything from the matters spoken with that heasws hears except that heasws would recognise it whether he is a saved one or a destroyed one. Therefore, due to that, heasws answers them by that which heasws answers them with’.129
