39. Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Udeys, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Al-Sabbaah who said: ‘I heard a speech reported from the Prophet (saww) and from Ali (asws), and from Ibn Mas’oud. So I presented it to Abu Abdullah (asws). He (asws) said: ‘These are the words of the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj). I (asws) recognise them’. The Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) said: ‘The wretched one is the one who is wretched in the womb of his mother, and a happy one is the one who heeds the advice given to the others. And the most intelligent one of the intelligent ones is the one who is pious, and the most stupid of the stupid ones is the immoral. The most evil of the report is the report of the lies (false report), and the most evil of the matters is the innovations. And the blindness of all blindness is the blindness of the heart, and the worst regret is the regret on the Day of Judgement. And the greatest of the sins in the Presence of Allah (azwj) is the lying tongue, and the most evil of the gains is the gain of the interest. And the most evil of the consumption is the consumption of the wealth of the orphans. The best of the decors of the decors of the man is good guidance along with faith, and the controlling of his affairs by it and strengthening them. The one who seeks fame (show-off), Allah (azwj) makes him to be named as a liar, and the one who loves the world will be frustrated from it. And the one who recognises the affliction would be patient against it, and the one who does not recognised it will be tortured (during it). And the doubt is disbelief, and the one who is arrogant, Allah (azwj) Puts him in his place. And the one who obeys Satan (la) disobeys Allah (azwj), and the one who disobeys Allah (azwj) is Punished by Allah (azwj). The one who is thankful, Allah (azwj) Increases for him, the one who is patient upon a loss is Helped by Allah (azwj). The one who places reliance upon Allah (azwj), Allah (azwj) suffices for him. Do not Enrage Allah (azwj) by pleasing anyone from His (azwj) creatures, and do not seek nearness to anyone from the creatures who takes you far away from Allah (azwj), for Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, there is nothing between Him (azwj) and anyone from His (azwj) creatures anything by which good can be acquired nor evil be repelled except by being obedient to Him (azwj), and the following of His (azwj) Pleasure. And in the obedience to Allah (azwj) is success in every good that you want, and salvation from every evil which is feared. And that Allah (azwj), Mighty is His (azwj) Mention, Defends the one who is obedient to Him (azwj) and the one who is disobedient to Him (azwj) does not seek protection from Him (azwj). And the fugitive from Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic will not find an escape, and that the Command of Allah (azwj) will Descend even though the creatures may be averse to it. And everything which is to come is near, and Whatsoever Allah (azwj) so Desires has happened and whatsoever He (azwj) does not Desire will not happen. So help each other towards the righteousness and the piety and do not help each other towards the sins and the animosity. And fear Allah (azwj) for He (azwj) is Severe is the Punishment’.

وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً واحِدَةً فَقَالَ كَانَ النَّاسُ قَبْلَ نُوحٍ أُمَّةَ ضَلَالٍ فَبَدَا لِلَّهِ فَبَعَثَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ لَيْسَ كَمَا يَقُولُونَ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَ كَذَبُوا يَفْرُقُ اللَّهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مَا كَانَ مِنْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ مَطَرٍ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَشَاءُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُقَدِّرَ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ قَابِلٍ

40. and by this chain, from Abaan, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb, who has said: I asked Abu Abdullah (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[2:213] Mankind were one community”, so he (asws) said: ‘Before the era of Noah (as) the people were a misguided nation. So Allah (azwj) Initiated by sending the Messengers (as) and it is not as they are saying it to be that it never ceased, and they are lying for Allah (azwj) Differentiated in the Night of Power (Laylat Al-Qadr) what was from the hardships, or ease, or rain in accordance with what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic so Desired until the similar like it to come (Next Laylat Al-Qadr)’.

41. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Ma’rouf Bin Kharabouz, from Al-Hakam Bin Mustawrid, who has said: Ali Bin Al-Husayn (asws) said: ‘From among the sustenance are those which Allah (azwj) has Measured out for the people from what their needs are to Him (azwj). The sea (atmosphere) is the one which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Created to be between the sky and the earth’. He (asws) said: ‘And Allah (azwj) has Determined in these the flow of the sun and the moon, and the stars, and the planets, and has Determined all of that upon the orbit. Then for every orbit is an Angel with whom there are seventy thousand Angels. So they turn the circle of the orbit. So it is upon their turning that the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the planets turn along with them. So they descend in their station which Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Determined for them. Therein are their days and their nights. So when the sins of the servants become numerous and Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Intends to Reproach them with a Sign from His (azwj) Signs, He (azwj) Orders the Angel in charge of the orbit to remove the orbit upon which the sun and the moon, and the stars, and the planets flow upon. So that Angel orders the seventy thousand Angels (which are under him) to remove these from their flows’. He (asws) said: ‘So they remove it and the sun becomes in that sea (atmosphere) in which flows in the orbit’. He (asws) said: ‘So its light gets obliterated and its colour changes. So if Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Intends to maximise the Sign, He (azwj) Obliterates the sun in the sea (atmosphere) upon what Allah (azwj) Loves that His (azwj) creatures should fear His (azwj) Signs’. He (asws) said: ‘And that is during the eclipse of the sun’. He (asws) said: ‘And that is similar to what He (azwj) Does with the moon’. He (asws) said: ‘So if Allah (azwj) Intends to End it or Return it back to normal, He (azwj) Orders the Angel in charge of the orbit that he should return the orbit back to its normality. So he returns the orbit and the sun goes back to its normality’. He (asws) said: ‘So he takes it out from the water (fluid) and it is brownish (dim)’. He (asws) said: ‘And the (matter of) the moon is similar to that’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) said: ‘But rather, no one is scared of these two nor is anyone intimidated by these two Signs except the one who was from our (asws) Shiites. So if (these Signs) have happened, so be scared to Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, then return (Repent) to Him (azwj)’.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا أَلْقَى مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مِنِ اسْتِخْفَافِهِمْ بِالدِّينِ فَقَالَ يَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ لَا تُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ حُجَّةً يَحْتَجُّ بِهَا عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا فُلَاناً فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا هَدْيَهُ فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا صَلَاتَهُ فِيكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَرَوْا دِينَهُ فَهَلَّا اقْتَدَيْتُمْ بِهِ فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةً عَلَيْهِمْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ.

42. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Al-Fazl Bin Ismail Al-Hashimy, from his father who said: ‘I complained to Abu Abdullah (asws) of what I had faced from my family from their taking of their Religion lightly’. So he (asws) said: ‘O Ismail, do not abhor that from your family, for Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Made for every family a proof by which He (azwj) will Argue by against his (faithless) family on the Day of Judgement. So He (azwj) will Say to them: “Did you not see so and so among you? Did you not see his guidance among you? Did you not see his Prayers among you? Did you not see his Religion? Did you not follow it? So he will become a proof against them on the Day of Judgement’.

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثَيْمٍ النَّخَّاسِ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْكُمْ لَيَكُونُ فِي الْمَحَلَّةِ فَيَحْتَجُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى جِيرَانِهِ [بِهِ] فَيُقَالُ لَهُمْ أَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فُلَانٌ بَيْنَكُمْ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا كَلَامَهُ أَ لَمْ تَسْمَعُوا بُكَاءَهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ فَيَكُونُ حُجَّةَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ .

43. From him, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Usaym Al-Nakhaas, from Muawiya Bin Ammaar who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying that: ‘The man from among you lives in the neighbourhood. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic will Argue by him against his neighbours on the Day of Judgement. So He (azwj) will Say: “Was not so and so among you? Did you not hear his speech? Did you not hear his wailing during the night? So he will be the Argument of Allah (azwj) against them’.

44. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saaleh, from Abu Maryam who has said: Abu Ja’far (asws), said, ‘I asked him (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[105:3] And send against them swarms of flying creatures [105:4] Striking them with stones of baked clay”, he (asws) said: ‘These were low flying birds which came upon them from the sea front. Their heads were like the heads of predatory birds, and their claws were like the claws of predatory birds. Along with each of the birds were three stones. In their legs were two stones and in their beaks was one stone each. So they went on to pelt them by these until their bodies became blistered with smallpox. So they killed them by it and there was not seen before that anything from the smallpox, nor were such birds seen before that day, nor after it’. He (asws) said: ‘And the ones from among them who escaped on that day went until they reached Hazramaut, and it is a valley in a part of Yemen. Allah (azwj) Sent against them a flood. So, all of them were drowned in it’. He (asws) said: ‘And no water had been seen in that valley at all for fifteen years before that’. He (asws) said: ‘So that is why it has been named as Hazramaut (death arrived), for that is wherein they died’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ وَ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ قَالَ وَقَعَ بَيْنَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ بَيْنَ وَلَدِ الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) كَلَامٌ فَبَلَغَنِي ذَلِكَ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَذَهَبْتُ أَتَكَلَّمُ فَقَالَ لِي مَهْ لَا تَدْخُلْ فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا فَإِنَّمَا مَثَلُنَا وَ مَثَلُ بَنِي عَمِّنَا كَمَثَلِ رَجُلٍ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ لَهُ ابْنَتَانِ فَزَوَّجَ إِحْدَاهُمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ زَرَّاعٍ وَ زَوَّجَ الْأُخْرَى مِنْ رَجُلٍ فَخَّارٍ ثُمَّ زَارَهُمَا فَبَدَأَ بِامْرَأَةِ الزَّرَّاعِ فَقَالَ لَهَا كَيْفَ حَالُكُمْ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ زَرَعَ زَوْجِي زَرْعاً كَثِيراً فَإِنْ أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاءَ فَنَحْنُ أَحْسَنُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًا ثُمَّ مَضَى إِلَى امْرَأَةِ الْفَخَّارِ فَقَالَ لَهَا كَيْفَ حَالُكُمْ فَقَالَتْ قَدْ عَمِلَ زَوْجِي فَخَّاراً كَثِيراً فَإِنْ أَمْسَكَ اللَّهُ السَّمَاءَ فَنَحْنُ أَحْسَنُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ حَالًا فَانْصَرَفَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ لَهُمَا وَ كَذَلِكَ نَحْنُ.

45. Muhammad Bin Yahya, form Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr and Sa’alba Bin Maymoun and Ali Bin Uqba, from Zarara, from Abdul Malik who said: ‘A discussion took place between Abu Ja’far (asws) and the children of Al-Hassan (asws). That reached me, so I came up to Abu Ja’far (asws) to speak to him (asws) about it. He (asws) said to me: ‘Shhh! Do not interfere in what is in between us (asws), for our (asws) example and the example of the sons of our (asws) uncle is like the man who was in the Children of Israel who had two daughters. So he married one of them to a farmer and married the other one to a potter. Then he went to visit them both. So he first went to the wife of the farmer and said to her, ‘What is your condition?’ She said, ‘The farm of my husband is a large farm, so if Allah (azwj) were to send (rain from) the sky, we would be in the best condition of the Children of Israel’. Then he went to the wife of the potter, so he said to her, ‘What is your condition?’ She said, ‘My husband has worked to produce a lot of pottery, so if Allah (azwj) were to Withhold (the rain from) the sky, we would be in the best condition of the Children of Israel’. So he left and he was saying, ‘Our Allah (azwj) You are for them both’, and that is how it is with us’.

مُحَمَّدٌ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يُعَوِّذُ بَعْضَ وُلْدِهِ وَ يَقُولُ عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكِ يَا رِيحُ وَ يَا وَجَعُ كَائِناً مَا كُنْتِ بِالْعَزِيمَةِ الَّتِي عَزَمَ بِهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) رَسُولُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) عَلَى جِنِّ وَادِي الصَّبْرَةِ فَأَجَابُوا وَ أَطَاعُوا لَمَّا أَجَبْتِ وَ أَطَعْتِ وَ خَرَجْتِ عَنِ ابْنِي فُلَانٍ ابْنِ ابْنَتِي فُلَانَةَ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ.

46. Muhammad, from Ahmad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Saaleh, from Zareeh who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) seeking refuge for one of his (asws) sons and he (asws) was saying: ‘I (asws) am resolved against you, O wind, and O pain, whatever creature you are, with the determination which Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws) and the Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) held against the Jinn in the valley of Al-Sabrah. So they answered, and they obeyed. You answer and obey, and go away from my (asws) son so and so, so of my (asws) daughter so and so, at this very moment, at this very moment’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) مَنْ يَتَفَقَّدْ يَفْقِدْ وَ مَنْ لَا يُعِدَّ الصَّبْرَ لِنَوَائِبِ الدَّهْرِ يَعْجِزْ وَ مَنْ قَرَضَ النَّاسَ قَرَضُوهُ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَهُمْ لَمْ يَتْرُكُوهُ قِيلَ فَأَصْنَعُ مَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَقْرِضْهُمْ مِنْ عِرْضِكَ لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِكَ.

47. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from Ibn Sinan, from Abu Al-Jaroud: Abu Ja’far (asws) said: ‘The Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj) said: ‘The one who misses (someone in his absence) is himself missed (by others), and the one who does not prepare (himself to observe) patience against the ravages of the time would be frustrated, and the one who problems the people would be troubled by them, and the one who leaves them (under troubles) alone would not be left alone by them (but troubles will be returned to him)’. It was said, ‘So what shall I do, O Messenger (saww) of Allah (azwj)?’ He (saww) said: ‘Lend them from you dignity, from the little you have and from what you need (for yourself) to (them)’.

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ بَيْنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عِيسَى فِي دَارِهِ الَّتِي فِي الْمَسْعَى يُشْرِفُ عَلَى الْمَسْعَى إِذْ رَأَى أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) مُقْبِلًا مِنَ الْمَرْوَةِ عَلَى بَغْلَةٍ فَأَمَرَ ابْنُ هَيَّاجٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ هَمْدَانَ مُنْقَطِعاً إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَتَعَلَّقَ بِلِجَامِهِ وَ يَدَّعِيَ الْبَغْلَةَ فَأَتَاهُ فَتَعَلَّقَ بِاللِّجَامِ وَ ادَّعَى الْبَغْلَةَ فَثَنَى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) رِجْلَهُ فَنَزَلَ عَنْهَا وَ قَالَ لِغِلْمَانِهِ خُذُوا سَرْجَهَا وَ ادْفَعُوهَا إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ وَ السَّرْجُ أَيْضاً لِي فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) كَذَبْتَ عِنْدَنَا الْبَيِّنَةُ بِأَنَّهُ سَرْجُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ أَمَّا الْبَغْلَةُ فَإِنَّا اشْتَرَيْنَاهَا مُنْذُ قَرِيبٍ وَ أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ وَ مَا قُلْتَ.

48. From him, from Ahmad, from Al-Barqy, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Hammaad Bin usmaan who said: ‘Musa Bin Isa was in his house which was in the place of Sa’ee (nearby the Kaaba), overlooking it when he saw Abu Al-Hassan Musa (asws) coming from Al-Marwa upon his (asws) mule. So he ordered Ibn Hayyaaj, a man from Hamdaan who was very close to him (asws) to go and hold on to the reins and make a claim for the mule. So he came up to him (asws), held on to the reins, and staked a claim for the mule. Abu Al-Hassan (asws) took his (asws) feet off and dismounted from it and said to his (asws) servant: ‘Take the saddle and hand (the mule) over to him’. He said, ‘And the saddle is mine as well’. So Abu Al-Hassan (asws) said: ‘You are lying, for we (asws) have clear proof that it is the saddle of Muhammad (asws) Bin Ali (asws), and as for the mule, so we (asws) have bought it not so long ago and you know it, and what you are saying’.
