4. My father narrated to me from ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari, from one of our companions – whose name he forgot, from ‘Ubaydillāh ibn Mūsā, from Muhalhal Al-‘Abdi, from Abī Hārūn Al-‘Abdi, from Rabī’ah Al-Sa’di, from Abī Dhar Al-Ghifāri, who said: I saw the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) kiss Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.) and say: The fire will not touch the face of those who are sincere in their love for Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.) and their progeny, even if their sins are equal to the number of (grains of) sand, unless they have committed a sin that expels them from the faith.

7 وَ عَنْهُ وَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) مَنْ أَبْغَضَ الْحَسَنَ وَ الْحُسَيْنَ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ لَحْمٌ وَ لَمْ تَنَلْهُ شَفَاعَتِي

10 حَدَّثَنِي جَمَاعَةُ مَشَايِخِي مِنْهُمْ أَبِي وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي خَلَفٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ الْيَقْطِينِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ أَبِي مُسْكَانَ عَنْ زَيْدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ هُبَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) خُذُوا بِحُجْزَةِ هَذَا الْأَنْزَعِ فَإِنَّهُ الصِّدِّيقُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ الْهَادِي لِمَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ مَنْ سَبَقَهُ مَرَقَ مِنْ دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ مَحَقَهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ فَقَدِ اعْتَصَمَ بِاللَّهِ [اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ] وَ مَنْ أَخَذَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ هَدَاهُ اللَّهُ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ وَلَايَتَهُ أَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ وَ مِنْهُ سِبْطَا أُمَّتِي الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ هُمَا ابْنَايَ وَ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْأَئِمَّةُ الْهُدَاةُ وَ الْقَائِمُ الْمَهْدِيُّ فَأَحِبُّوهُمْ وَ تَوَالَوْهُمْ وَ لَا تَتَّخِذُوا عَدُوَّهُمْ وَلِيجَةً مِنْ دُونِهِمْ فَيَحِلَّ عَلَيْكُمْ غَضَبٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَ ذِلَّةٌ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ قَدْ خابَ مَنِ افْتَرى
10. A group of my scholars including my father, Muḥammad ibn Ḥasan, and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain all narrated to me from Sa’d ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Abī Khalaf, from Muḥammad ibn ‘Isā ibn ‘Ubayd Al-Yaqťīni, from Abī ‘Abdillāh Zakariyyā Al-Mu`min, from Ibn Muskān, from Zayd (ibn Yūnus Al-Shaḥḥām) servant of Ibn Hubayrah, from Abī Ja’far (Imam Bāqir (a.s.)), who said: The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) said: Hold on to this emptied man (Imam ‘Ali (a.s.)). Verily he is SIDDǏQ AL-AKBAR (the greatest truthful one) and he is the guide of those who follow him. Those who precede him have apostatized the religion of Allāh. Allāh will destroy those who disappoint him. Those who adhere to him have adhered to the “cord of Allāh” (3:103). Allāh guides those who accept his Wilāyah and He leads astray those who neglect his Wilāyah. Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.), the two chiefs of my nation, are from ‘Ali (a.s.) and they are my sons. The Imams of guidance and Mahdi, the Qā`im (a.s.), are (all) from the children of Ḥusain (a.s.). Therefore, love them and follow them. Do not take their enemies as friends or choose them as leaders above them, for if you do, the wrath of Allāh will befall you and you will be disgraced in this world. “And he who forges a lie fails miserably” (20:61).
11 حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الزَّعْفَرَانِيُّ بِالرَّيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خَيْثَمٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ مُرَّةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْ حُسَيْنٍ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ حُسَيْناً حُسَيْنٌ سِبْطٌ مِنَ الْأَسْبَاطِ
11. Ḥusain ibn ‘Ali Al-Za’farāni narrated to me in the city of Ray, from Yaḥyā ibn Sulaymān, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Uthmān ibn Khaytham, from Sa’īd ibn Abī Rāshid, from Ya’lā ibn Murrah, who said: The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) said: Ḥusain (a.s.) is from me and I am from Ḥusain (a.s.). Allāh loves those who love Ḥusain (a.s.). Ḥusain (a.s.) is a chief from among the chiefs.
12 حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْعَدَوِيِّ الْبَصْرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى [اللَّهِ] بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْبُرْسِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبٌ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي رَاشِدٍ عَنْ يَعْلَى الْعَامِرِيِّ أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ (ص) إِلَى طَعَامٍ دُعِيَ إِلَيْهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِحُسَيْنٍ (ع) يَلْعَبُ مَعَ الصِّبْيَانِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ (ص) أَمَامَ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ بَسَطَ يَدَيْهِ فَطَفَرَ الصَّبِيُّ هَاهُنَا مَرَّةً وَ هَاهُنَا مَرَّةً وَ جَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) يُضَاحِكُهُ حَتَّى أَخَذَهُ فَجَعَلَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ تَحْتَ ذَقَنِهِ وَ الْأُخْرَى تَحْتَ قَفَائِهِ وَ وَضَعَ فَاهُ عَلَى فِيهِ وَ قَبَّلَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ حُسَيْنٌ مِنِّي وَ أَنَا مِنْ حُسَيْنٍ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ مَنْ أَحَبَّ حُسَيْناً حُسَيْنٌ سِبْطٌ مِنَ الْأَسْبَاطِ
12. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from Abī Sa’īd Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Zakariyyā Al-‘Adwi Al-Basri, from ‘Abdil A’lā ibn Ḥammād Al-Bursi, from Wahab, from ‘Abdillāh ibn ‘Uthmān, from Sa’īd ibn Abī Rāshid, from Ya’lā Al-‘Āmiri, who said: I was going with the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) to a place where he was invited for food when we saw Ḥusain (a.s.) playing with (other) children. The Prophet (s.a.a.w.) went ahead of us and opened his arms (to catch him). Ḥusain (a.s.) was running in different directions and the Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) was making him laugh until he caught him. Then he placed one of his hands under Ḥusain’s chin and the other hand behind his head. He placed his mouth on the mouth of Ḥusain (a.s.) and kissed him. Then he said, “Ḥusain (a.s.) is from me and I am from Ḥusain (a.s.). Allāh loves those who love Ḥusain (a.s.). Ḥusain (a.s.) is a chief from among the chiefs.”
13 وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا نَضْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ (ع) قَالَ أَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (ص) بِيَدِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ هَذَيْنِ الْغُلَامَيْنِ وَ أَبَاهُمَا وَ أُمَّهُمَا- فَهُوَ مَعِي فِي دَرَجَتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
13. Muḥammad ibn ‘Abdillāh ibn Ja’far Al-Ḥimyari narrated to me from Abī Sa’īd (Ḥasan ibn ‘Ali ibn Zakariyyā Al-‘Adwi Al-Basri), from Nasr ibn ‘Ali, from ‘Ali ibn Ja’far, who said: His brother, Mūsā ibn Ja’far (Imam Kāżim (a.s.)), said: The Messenger of Allāh (s.a.a.w.) held the hands of Ḥasan and Ḥusain (a.s.) and said, “Those who love these two boys and love their father and mother will be with me in my position on the Day of Judgment.”
