عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ النَّخَعِيِّ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الَّذِينَ فِي سَمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا لَيَطَّلِعُونَ عَلَى الْوَاحِدِ وَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَ الثَّلَاثَةِ وَ هُمْ يَذْكُرُونَ فَضْلَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) فَيَقُولُونَ أَ مَا تَرَوْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِي قِلَّتِهِمْ وَ كَثْرَةِ عَدُوِّهِمْ يَصِفُونَ فَضْلَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ (عليهم السلام) فَتَقُولُ الطَّائِفَةُ الْأُخْرَى مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ذلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ اللَّهُ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ.
521. From him, from Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Mustawarad Al-Nakha’ie, from the one who reported it: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said; ‘From the Angels who are in the sky of the world, they come to one, and two, and three when they are mentioning the virtues of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww), so they say: ‘But did you see those in their scarcity (of numbers) and the abundance of their enemies, describing the virtues of the Progeny (asws) of Muhammad (saww)?’ So the other group of Angels say: “[62:4] That is Allah’s grace; He grants it to whom He pleases, and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace”.

عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَنِ ابْنِ أُذَيْنَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ النَّجَاشِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ: ﴿أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ ما فِي قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَ عِظْهُمْ وَ قُلْ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ قَوْلًا بَلِيغاً﴾ يَعْنِي وَ اللَّهِ فُلَاناً وَ فُلَاناً: ﴿وَ ما أَرْسَلْنا مِنْ رَسُولٍ إِلَّا لِيُطاعَ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ وَ لَوْ أَنَّهُمْ إِذْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ جاؤُكَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً﴾ يَعْنِي وَ اللَّهِ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) وَ عَلِيّاً (عليه السلام) مِمَّا صَنَعُوا أَيْ لَوْ جَاءُوكَ بِهَا يَا عَلِيُّ ﴿فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا اللَّهَ مِمَّا صَنَعُوا وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَهُمُ الرَّسُولُ لَوَجَدُوا اللَّهَ تَوَّاباً رَحِيماً فَلا وَ رَبِّكَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ حَتَّى يُحَكِّمُوكَ فِيما شَجَرَ بَيْنَهُمْ﴾ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) هُوَ وَ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ بِعَيْنِهِ ثُمَّ لا يَجِدُوا فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ حَرَجاً مِمَّا قَضَيْتَ عَلَى لِسَانِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ يُسَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً لِعَلِيٍّ.
526. ʿAlī ibn Ibrāhīm, from his father, and Muḥammad ibn Ismāʿīl, and others from Manṣūr ibn Yūnus, from Ibn Udhaynah, from ʿAbdullāh ibn Najāshī, who said: "I heard Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Sadiq (as) saying regarding the statement of Allah, the Almighty and Glorious: «Those are the ones whose hearts Allah knows, so turn away from them, but admonish them and speak to them with a penetrating word» (4:63). By Allah, this refers to such-and-such individuals. And regarding the verse: «We did not send any messenger but to be obeyed by the permission of Allah. If only, when they wronged themselves, they had come to you (O Prophet) and asked Allah’s forgiveness, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful» (4:64), by Allah, this refers to the Prophet (saw) and ʿAlī (as) in what they did. That is, if they had come to you, O ʿAlī, and sought forgiveness from Allah for what they did, and the Messenger had asked forgiveness for them, they would have found Allah Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. «But no, by your Lord, they will not truly believe until they make you (O Prophet) a judge in all disputes between them and find no resistance within themselves against your decisions, and submit with full submission» (4:65). Abū ʿAbdullāh al-Sadiq (as) said: "By Allah, this refers to ʿAlī himself. And they would not find any resistance in their hearts concerning what you, O Messenger of Allah, have decreed through your words, meaning by this the authority of ʿAlī, and they would submit fully to ʿAlī."

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَمَّرِ بْنِ خَلَّادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ رُبَّمَا رَأَيْتُ الرُّؤْيَا فَأُعَبِّرُهَا وَ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى مَا تُعَبَّرُ. ثُمَّ غَابَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا غَيْبَةً أُخْرَى فَرَأَتْ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَأَتَتِ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا يَقْدَمُ زَوْجُكِ وَ يَأْتِي صَالِحاً فَقَدِمَ عَلَى مَا قَالَ ثُمَّ غَابَ زَوْجُهَا ثَالِثَةً فَرَأَتْ فِي مَنَامِهَا أَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَلَقِيَتْ رَجُلًا أَعْسَرَ فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا الرَّجُلُ السَّوْءُ يَمُوتُ زَوْجُكِ قَالَ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَالَ أَلَّا كَانَ عَبَّرَ لَهَا خَيْراً.
527. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muammar Bin Khallaad who said: I heard Abu Al-Hassan (asws) saying: ‘Sometimes I (asws) see the dream, so I (asws) interpret it, and the dream is upon what you interpret’.
b- عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَهْمٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى مَا تُعَبَّرُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا رَوَى أَنَّ رُؤْيَا الْمَلِكِ كَانَتْ أَضْغَاثَ أَحْلَامٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ (عليه السلام) إِنَّ امْرَأَةً رَأَتْ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَنَّ جِذْعَ بَيْتِهَا قَدِ انْكَسَرَ فَأَتَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) فَقَصَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الرُّؤْيَا فَقَالَ لَهَا النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يَقْدَمُ زَوْجُكِ وَ يَأْتِي وَ هُوَ صَالِحٌ وَ قَدْ كَانَ زَوْجُهَا غَائِباً فَقَدِمَ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله)
528. b – From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzaal, from AL-Hassan Bin Jahm who said: I heard Abu Al-Hassan (asws) saying: ‘The dream is upon what interpretation you give it’. So I said to him (asws) that, ‘Some of our companions are reporting that the dream of the king was a confused dream’. So Abu Al-Hassan (asws) said: ‘A woman saw a dream during the era of the Rasool Allah (saww) that a pillar of her house had broken. So she came to the Rasool Allah (saww) and related the dream to him (saww). The Prophet (saww) said to her: ‘Your husband will come to you safely’; and her husband had gone away (in a caravan). So he came just as the Prophet (saww) said that he would. Then he went away from her for another time. She saw in the dream as if a pillar of her house had broken. So she came to the Prophet (saww) and related the dream to him (saww). So he (saww) said to her: ‘Your husband will come to you safely’. So he came as he (saww) had said he would. Then her husband went away for a third time. She saw in her dream that a pillar of her house had broken. She met a left-handed man (a fortune teller), so she related her dream to him. The man said to her, ‘The evil. Your husband is dead’. (As the news of her dead husband) reached the Prophet (saww), so he (saww) said: ‘If only he had interpreted it for her in a good way’.

529. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from Jabir Bin Yazeed, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said that the Rasool Allah (saww) had said: ‘The dream of the Believer floats in between the sky and the earth over the head of its dreamer until he interprets it for himself, or it is interpreted for him by someone like him. So when it gets interpreted, it comes to the ground. So do not narrate your dreams except to the one who understand’.
