531. Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Al-Kindy, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Maysami, from Aban Bin Usman, from a man, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘There was a man during the era of the Rasool Allah (saww) called Zu Al-Namrat, and he was from the ugliest of the people and that is why he was named Al-Zu Al-Namrat (Animal face) due to his ugliness. So he came to the Prophet (saww) and said, ‘O Rasool Allah (saww), inform me of what Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Made to be obligatory upon me’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘Allah (azwj) has Made it an obligation upon you to Pray seventeen cycles during the day and the night, and Fasts of the Month of Ramadhan when you are of realisation (adult), and the Pilgrimage when you have the (financial) capability for it, and the Zakat’, and detailed these for him. So he said, ‘By the One Who (azwj) Sent you with the Truth as a Prophet (saww), I shall not increase anything upon what has been Obligated upon me’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said; ‘And why, O Zu Al-Namrat?’ He said, ‘For He (azwj) has Created me as ugly’. He (asws) said: ‘So Jibraeel (as) descended upon the Prophet (saww) and said: ‘O Rasool Allah (saww)! Your (saww) Lord (azwj) Commands you (saww) that you (saww) should convey Greetings to Zu Al-Namrat and say to him: ‘Your Lord (azwj), Blessed and High has Said to you: “Would it not make you happy to be resurrected upon the beauty of Jibraeel (as) on the Day of Judgement?’ So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘O Zu Al-Namrat! This here is Jibraeel (as) Commanding me (as) that I (saww) should convey Greetings to you and that your Lord (azwj) has said: “Would it not make you happy to be resurrected upon the beauty of Jibraeel?’ So Zu Al-Namrat said, ‘I have thus become happy, O Lord (azwj). By Your (azwj) Honour, I shall increase (my worship) for You (azwj) until You (azwj) are Pleased’.

532. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahbub, from Abu Jameela, from Aban ibn Taglib, who has reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) was asked: ‘Did Isa Ibn Maryam (as) revive anyone after his death to the extent that he ate, received sustenance, and had a term, and children?’ He replied: ‘Yes. He had a friend who he had established brotherhood with for the Sake of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High, and Isa (as) used to pass by him and visit him. And that Isa (as) remained absent from him for a while, then passed by his house to greet him. His mother came out to him. So he asked her about him. She said, ‘He died, O Messenger (as) of Allah (azwj)’. He (as) said: ‘Would you love to see him’. She said, ‘Yes’. He (as) said to her: ‘Come to me tomorrow and I shall revive him for you by the Permission of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High’. So when it was the next day, she came over. He (as) said to her: ‘Come with me to his grave’. So they went until they arrived at his grave. Isa (as) paused at it, and then supplicated to Allah (azwj). The grave split apart and her son came out alive. So when his mother saw him, and he saw her, they wept. Isa (as) sympathized with them. Isa (as) said to him: ‘Would you like to remain alive with your mother in the world?’ He said, ‘O Prophet (saww) of Allah (azwj), with eating and sustenance and a term, or without eating and sustenance and a term?’ So Isa (as) said to him: ‘With eating and sustenance and a term. And you will be living for twenty years and get married and have children’. He said, ‘Yes’. When he said that, Isa (as) handed him over to his mother. He thus lived for twenty years, and got married, and had children’.

533. Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Walladin, and someone else from our companions, who have reported the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[22:25] and whoever shall incline therein to wrong unjustly, We will make him taste of a painful chastisement”, so he (asws) said: ‘The one who worships other than Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, or befriends other than the Guardians (asws) from Allah (azwj), so he has inclined to injustice and it is upon Allah (azwj) Blessed and High to make him taste of a painful chastisement”.

534. Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al-Howl, from Sallam Bin Al-Mustaneer, who has reported the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Blessed and High: “[22:40] Those who have been expelled from their homes without a just cause except that they say: Our Lord is Allah”. He (asws) said: ‘It was Revealed regarding the Rasool Allah (saww), and Ali (asws), and Hamza (ar), and Ja’far (ar), and it flowed regarding Al-Husayn (asws), may Peace be upon all of them’.

ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ الرُّسُلَ فَيَقُولُ ما ذا أُجِبْتُمْ قالُوا لا عِلْمَ لَنا قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِهَذَا تَأْوِيلًا يَقُولُ مَا ذَا أُجِبْتُمْ فِي أَوْصِيَائِكُمُ الَّذِينَ خَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ عَلَى أُمَمِكُمْ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا بِمَا فَعَلُوا مِنْ بَعْدِنَا.

535. Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Bureyd Al-Kunasy who said: I asked Abu Ja’far (asws) about the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[5:109] On the day when Allah will assemble the messengers, then say: What answer were you given? They shall say: We have no knowledge, surely Thou art the great Knower of the unseen things”. So he (asws) said; ‘There is an explanation for this. He (azwj) will say: “What response were you (as) given with regards to your (as) successors (as) whom you (saww) left behind among your (as) communities?’ So they (as) will say: ‘We have no knowledge of what they did from after us (as)’.

536. Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Hamza, from Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab who said: I asked Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws), ‘How old was Ali (asws) on the day he (asws) became a Muslim?’ So he (asws) said: ‘What? Was he (asws) an infidel ever? But rather, when Allah (azwj) Sent His (azwj) Messenger (saww), Ali (asws) was ten years old, and he (asws) was never an infidel on that day, and he (asws) had believed in Allah (azwj), and in His (azwj) Messenger (saww), and preceded all of the people to the faith by Allah (azwj) and by His (azwj) Messenger (saww) and to the Prayer by three years’. And the first Prayer that he (asws) Prayed with the Rasool Allah (saww) was Al-Zohr (Midday) of two cycles and that is what Allah (azwj) Blessed and High had Obligated it as upon the one who became a Muslim at Makkah – two cycles, two cycles, and the Rasool Allah (saww) had Prayed two cycles at Makkah, and Ali (asws) had Prayed it with him (saww) as two cycles for a period of ten years until the Rasool Allah (saww) migrated to Al-Medina, and left Ali (asws) behind regarding the matters which no one part from him (asws) could have dealt with. And the going out of the Rasool Allah (saww) from Makkah was during the first of the Rabbi-ul-Awwal, and that was the day of Thursday on the thirteenth year from the Mab’as (Declaration of Prophet-hood), and journeyed to Al-Medina over twelve nights from the Month of Rabbi Ul-Awwal with the setting of the sun. So he (saww) descended at Quba, so he (saww) Prayed Al-Zohr two cycles, and Al-Asr two cycles. Then he (saww) did not cease to stay there, awaiting Ali (asws). He (saww) Prayed five Prayers of two cycles, two cycles. And he (saww) stayed at (the house of) Amro Bin Awf for about ten days. They were saying to him (saww), ‘Stay with us, so we will build for you (saww) house and a Masjid’. So he (saww) said; ‘No. I (saww) am awaiting Ali (asws) Bin Abu Talib (asws), and have ordered him (asws) to meet me (saww), and will not settle in a house until Ali (asws) comes, and he (asws) will not be long, Allah (azwj) Willing. So Ali (asws) came to the Prophet (saww) at the house of Amro Bin Awf and stayed with him (saww). Then the Rasool Allah (saww), when Ali (asws) arrived to him (saww), transferred from Quba to the Clan of Saalim Bin Awf, and Ali (asws) was with him (saww), on the Day of Friday at sunrise. So they drew a boundary for him (saww) for a Masjid, and established its Qiblah (direction of Prayer). He (saww) Prayed with them the Friday Prayer of two cycles, and preached them two sermons. Then he (saww) went to Al-Medina upon the she-camel which he (saww) had come upon, and Ali (asws) was with him (saww), not separating from him (saww), walking with him (saww) step by step. And there was no neighbourhood from the neighbourhoods of the Helpers which Rasool Allah (saww) passed by except that they stood up for him (saww) asking him (saww) to descend to them. He (saww) would say to them; ‘Make way for the she-camel for it is under instructions (of where to go). So it went and the Rasool Allah (saww) had freed its reins until it ended up at the place which you see’, and he (asws) gestured by his (asws) hands to the door of the Masjid of the Rasool Allah (saww) by which the funeral Prayers are performed. He (asws) said: ‘So it paused at it and knelt, and placed itself upon the ground. So the Rasool Allah (saww) descended, and Abu Ayub welcomed him (saww) to the extent that he carried his (saww) saddle bag and made him (saww) to enter his house. And the Rasool Allah (saww) and Ali (asws) stayed with him until they built for him (saww), his (saww) Masjid, and built for him (saww) his (saww) house, and a house for Ali (asws). So they two of them (asws) transferred to their (asws) houses’. So Saeed Bin Al-Musayyab (the narrator) said to Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws), ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), Abu Bakr was with the Rasool Allah (saww) when he (saww) arrived at Al-Medina. So when did he separate from him (saww)?’ So he (asws) said: ‘Abu Bakr was with him (saww) when the Rasool Allah (saww) proceeded to Quba, and he (saww) decided to wait for Ali (asws). So Abu Bakr said to him (saww), ‘Come with us to Al-Medina, for the people would rejoice at your (saww) arrival there and are eager to welcome you (saww). So come with us and do not stay over here waiting for Ali (asws), from what I can see, it would take him (asws) a month to come to you (asws)’. So the Rasool Allah (saww) said to him: ‘Never! He (asws) will not be long, and I (saww) will not move until my (saww) cousin (asws), and my (saww) brother (asws) for the sake of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic, and the most beloved to me (saww) of my (saww) Family comes over, for he (asws) saved me (saww) from the Polytheists by being in my (saww) place’. He (asws) said; ‘So Abu Bakr was angry and was disgusted by it, and envy for Ali (asws) entered into him due to that, and that was the first enmity initiated from him to the Rasool Allah (saww) with regards to Ali (asws), and the first of his opposition to the Rasool Allah (saww). So he went until he entered Al-Medina, and left behind the Rasool Allah (saww) at Quba waiting for Ali (asws)’. (The narrator) said, ‘I said to Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws), ‘So when did the Messenger (saww) get Fatima (sa) married to Ali (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘At Al-Medina, a year after the Migration, and she was in her (asws) ninth year’. Ali (asws) Bin Al-Husayn (asws) said: ‘And there was no birth to the Rasool Allah (saww) from Khadija (as) upon the nature of Al-Islam except for Fatima (sa), and Khadija (as) had passed away a year before the Migration, and Abu Talib (as) had passed away a year after her (as) passing away. So when the two of them (as) passed away, the Rasool Allah (saww) got tired of staying at Makkah, and was overcome by intense grief and sympathised with himself (saww) from the infidels of Qureysh. He (saww) informed Jibraeel (as) about that, so Allah (azwj) Revealed unto him (saww): “Go out from the town where (its) people are unjust and Migrate to Al-Medina, for today there is no helper for you (saww) at Makkah, and establish a war against the Polytheists”. So the Rasool Allah (saww) heeded that and directed himself (saww) to Al-Medina’. So I (the narrator) said to him (asws), ‘So when was the Salat became Obligatory upon the Muslims in the form that they are Praying today?’ He (asws) said: ‘At Al-Medina when the Call was made apparent, and Al-Islam was strong, and Allah (azwj) Decreed Al-Jihaad upon the Muslims, and the Rasool Allah (saww) increased in the Prayer, seven cycles – two cycles in Al-Zohr, and two cycles in Al-Asr, and one cycle in Al-Maghrib, and two cycles in Al-Isha, and accepted Al-Fajr upon what it had been Obligated in order to expedite the descent of the Angels of the day from the sky and to expedite that rising of the Angels of the night to the sky. And the Angels of the night and the Angels of the day had been testifying with the Rasool Allah (saww) for Al-Fajr Prayer, so that is the Statement of Allah (azwj): “[17:78] (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn. Lo! (the recital of) the Qur’an at dawn is witnessed”, witnessed by the Muslims and witnessed by the Angels of the day and Angels of the night’.

537. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hisham Bin Salim, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘How easy it is to make the people to be happy with you. Just restrain your tongues from (speaking against) them’.

538. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa and Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, together from Ali Bin hadeed, from Jameel Bin Darraaj, from Zurara who said: Abu Ja’far (asws) was in the Sacred Masjid. So there was a mention of the Clan of Umayya and their government. Some of his (asws) companions said to him (asws), ‘We hope that you (asws) will become their master and that Allah (azwj) will Display this Command upon your (asws) hands’. So he (asws) said: ‘I (asws) am not their master, nor am I (asws) happy to be their master, for their companions are the sons of adultery. Allah (azwj) never Created, since the creation of the Heavens and the earth, years nor days shorter than their years and their days. Allah (azwj) Ordered the Angels in who hands is the orbit, to rotate it like a scroll’.

539. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hammaad Bin Usman, who has reported: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘The sons of Al-Mardaas (Al-Abbas) – the one who associates with them, they turn him to be an unbeliever, and the one who distances himself from them, they impoverish him, and the one antagonises them, they kill him, and the one who fortifies himself from them they lower him, and the one flees from them, they are wary of him, until their government comes to an end’.

540. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Kufy, from Ali Bin Amro Bin Ayman together from Muhassan Bin Ahmad Bin Muaz, from Aban Bin Usman, from Basheer Al-Nabaal, who has reported: Abu Abdullah (asws) has said: ‘Once when the Rasool Allah (saww) was sitting a woman came, and held her hand and helped her to sit down. And then said, ‘ She is a daughter of a Prophet (as) whose people had neglected him (as). Khalid Bin Sinan called them, but they refused to believe. There used to be a fire called the fire of Al-Hadsaan which used to engulf them every year. So it used to devour some of them and it used to emerge during a specific time. So he said to them, ‘If I were to turn it back from you, will you believe?’ They said, ‘Yes’. He (asws) said: ‘So it came, and he met it by his clothes and repulsed it. Then he followed it until it entered its cave, and he entered with it, and the people seated themselves at the entrance of the cave, and they were looking out for him and it looked as if he would never come out of it. He came out and he was saying, ‘This, this, and all this is from that. The son, of Ab’as thought, ‘I will not go out whilst my forehead is perspiring’. Then said, ‘Do you believe in me?’ They said, ‘No’. He said, ‘I will die on such a such a day, so when I am dead, bury me. There will come here donkeys among which will be a donkey with its tail cut off until it stands at my grave. So bring me out of my grave and ask me whatsoever you like’. So when he died, they buried him, and on that day the donkeys came and gathered, and they all came intending to exhume him. They said, ‘You all did not believe in him during his lifetime, so how will you now believe in him after his death? And if you were to exhume him it will be damnation for you, so leave him alone’. So they left him’.
