عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ الْأَرْضُ تُطْوَى فِي آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْخَزَّازِ قَالَ أَرَدْنَا أَنْ نَخْرُجَ فَجِئْنَا نُسَلِّمُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ كَأَنَّكُمْ طَلَبْتُمْ بَرَكَةَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ فَقُلْنَا نَعَمْ فَقَالَ وَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ أَعْظَمُ شُؤْماً مِنْ يَوْمِ الْإِثْنَيْنِ يَوْمٍ فَقَدْنَا فِيهِ نَبِيَّنَا وَ ارْتَفَعَ الْوَحْيُ عَنَّا لَا تَخْرُجُوا وَ اخْرُجُوا يَوْمَ الثَّلَاثَاءِ.

492. A number of our companions, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Khalid, from Uthman bin Isa, from Abu Ayyub Al-Khazzaaz who said: We intended to go out, so we went to greet Abu Abdullah (AS). So he (AS) said: ‘It is as if you all are seeking blessings on Monday’. So we said, ‘Yes’. So he (AS) said: ‘No other day is of great misfortune than a Monday, the day in which we lost our Prophet (sw), and the revelation was raised (stopped) from us. Do not go out (on a Monday), and go out on a Tuesday’.

عَنْهُ عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عليه السلام) قَالَ الشُّؤْمُ لِلْمُسَافِرِ فِي طَرِيقِهِ خَمْسَةُ أَشْيَاءَ الْغُرَابُ النَّاعِقُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ النَّاشِرُ لِذَنَبِهِ وَ الذِّئْبُ الْعَاوِي الَّذِي يَعْوِي فِي وَجْهِ الرَّجُلِ وَ هُوَ مُقْعٍ عَلَى ذَنَبِهِ يَعْوِي ثُمَّ يَرْتَفِعُ ثُمَّ يَنْخَفِضُ ثَلَاثاً وَ الظَّبْيُ السَّانِحُ مِنْ يَمِينٍ إِلَى شِمَالٍ وَ الْبُومَةُ الصَّارِخَةُ وَ الْمَرْأَةُ الشَّمْطَاءُ تِلْقَاءَ فَرْجِهَا وَ الْأَتَانُ الْعَضْبَاءُ يَعْنِي الْجَدْعَاءَ فَمَنْ أَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ مِنْهُنَّ شَيْئاً فَلْيَقُلْ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ فِي نَفْسِي قَالَ فَيُعْصَمُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ.

493. From him, from Bakr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Al-Ja’fary, who has narrated: Abu Al-Hassan Musa (asws) having said, ‘The evil, for the traveller in his road, are five things – The cawing crow on his right and spreading its tail; and the howling wolf which howls on the face of the man while sitting on it’s tail and raises its voice and lowers it three times; and the deer which crossing from the right to the left, and the crying owl, and an old woman coming in from the front, and confronting a female (astray) donkey. So the one who feels anything from these for himself, so he should immediately say, ‘I adhere to You (azwj), O Lord (azwj), from the evil of what I find in (front of) myself’. He (asws) said; ‘He would be protected from that’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَبِي الْمِقْدَامِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى زَيَّنَ شِيعَتَنَا بِالْحِلْمِ وَ غَشَّاهُمْ بِالْعِلْمِ لِعِلْمِهِ بِهِمْ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ آدَمَ (عليه السلام).

494. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Salmat Bin Al-Khattab, from Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Abdullah Bin Al-Qasim, from Amro Bin Abu Maqdam who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said: ‘Allah (azwj) Blessed and High has Adorned our (asws) Shites with the forbearance, and Covered them with the knowledge by His (azwj) Knowledge of them before He (azwj) Created Adam (as)’.

And if the man hates you (Shites), and does not know what you are saying (believing in), so Allah (azwj) would Enter him into the Fire. And the man from among you would fill his book (of deeds) from without (having performed) deeds’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), and how can that be?’ He (asws) said: ‘He passed by the group belittling us, they see him, and some of them say to the others, ‘Refrain, for this man is from their (asws) Shites’. And the man from our (asws) Shites passes by them, so they mock him and speak (bad) regarding him, so Allah (azwj) Writes for him Rewards, due to that, until his book (of) deeds gets filled up without (having performed) any deeds’.

عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) كَمْ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الْبَصْرَةِ قُلْتُ فِي الْمَاءِ خَمْسٌ إِذَا طَابَتِ الرِّيحُ وَ عَلَى الظَّهْرِ ثَمَانٍ وَ نَحْوُ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ مَا أَقْرَبَ هَذَا تَزَاوَرُوا وَ يَتَعَاهَدُ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً فَإِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ كُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ بِشَاهِدٍ يَشْهَدُ لَهُ عَلَى دِينِهِ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا رَأَى أَخَاهُ كَانَ حَيَاةً لِدِينِهِ إِذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ .

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Al-Jaham, from Abu Khadija who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me; ‘How much (distance is there) between you and Al-Basra?’ I said, ‘It is five (days) by the water (sea) if the wind is good, and upon the back (of the earth) eight days or approximate to that’. So he (asws) said: ‘This is not near. Visit each other frequently for there will not be an escape on the Day of Judgement from each human being to bring a witness who would testify for him upon his Religion’. And said: ‘If a Muslims sees his brother, it is a revival for his Religion if he Mentions Allah (azwj) (during their meeting)’.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ رِبْعِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُحِبُّنَا مِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ إِلَّا أَهْلُ الْبُيُوتَاتِ وَ الشَّرَفِ وَ الْمَعْدِنِ وَ لَا يُبْغِضُنَا مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ هَؤُلَاءِ إِلَّا كُلُّ دَنَسٍ مُلْصَقٍ.

497. Ali Bin Ibrahiim, from his father, from Hammaad Bin Isa, from Rabi’e, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘By Allah (azwj)! No one from the Arabs or the non-Arabs loves us (asws) except the people of noble houses, and the (noble) origins; and no one from these ones and those ones hates us (asws) except for all the filthy ones and of illegitimate origin’.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ بَعَثَ لَكُمْ طالُوتَ مَلِكاً قالُوا أَنَّى يَكُونُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ عَلَيْنا وَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالْمُلْكِ مِنْهُ قَالَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنْ سِبْطِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ لَا مِنْ سِبْطِ الْمَمْلَكَةِ قالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ اصْطَفاهُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ قَالَ إِنَّ آيَةَ مُلْكِهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ التَّابُوتُ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ بَقِيَّةٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ آلُ مُوسى وَ آلُ هارُونَ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تَحْمِلُهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مُبْتَلِيكُمْ بِنَهَرٍ فَمَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَطْعَمْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنِّي فَشَرِبُوا مِنْهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَجُلًا مِنْهُمْ مَنِ اغْتَرَفَ وَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَمْ يَشْرَبْ فَلَمَّا بَرَزُوا قَالَ الَّذِينَ اغْتَرَفُوا لا طاقَةَ لَنَا الْيَوْمَ بِجالُوتَ وَ جُنُودِهِ وَ قَالَ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَغْتَرِفُوا كَمْ مِنْ فِئَةٍ قَلِيلَةٍ غَلَبَتْ فِئَةً كَثِيرَةً بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ اللَّهُ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ.

He (asws) said: ‘He (as) was neither from the grandsons of the Prophets (as) nor was he (as) from the grandsons of the kings’. He said: Surely Allah has chosen him in preference to you”. And Said: “[2:248] And the prophet said to them: Surely the sign of His kingdom is, that there shall come to you the chest in which there is tranquillity from your Lord and residue of the relics of what the children of Musa and the children of Haroun have left, the angels bearing it”. And Allah (azwj) Said: “[2:249] Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, So they drank from it except for three hundred and thirteen men. From them were those who drank, and those who did not drink. So when it was time for duel, the ones who had drunk they said: We have today no power against Jalut and his forces. And those who did not drink said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah’s permission, and Allah is with the patient”.

عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ إِنَّ آيَةَ مُلْكِهِ أَنْ يَأْتِيَكُمُ التَّابُوتُ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ بَقِيَّةٌ مِمَّا تَرَكَ آلُ مُوسى وَ آلُ هارُونَ تَحْمِلُهُ الْمَلائِكَةُ قَالَ كَانَتْ تَحْمِلُهُ فِي صُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ.
