Kitāb al-Ghayba

367- وأخبرني الحسين بن إبراهيم عن أبي العباس بن نوح عن أبي نصر هبة الله بن محمد الكاتب أن قبر أبي الحسن السمري رضي الله عنه في الشارع المعروف بشارع الخلنجي من ربع باب المحول قريب من شاطئ نهر أبي عتاب. وذكر أنه مات رضي الله عنه في سنة تسع وعشرين وثلاثمائة.

H 367 - Husain Ibn Ibrahim narrated to me from Abul Abbas Ibn Nuh from Abu Nasr Hibatullah Ibn Muhammad Katib that the grave of Abul Hasan Saymoori is in the street known as Khalanji on the quarter of the gate of Muhawwal, near the banks of the stream of Abu Attab. He mentioned that he died in the year three hundred and twenty nine.

أولهم المعروف بالشريعي:

The first of them is the one known as Shari.

368- أخبرنا جماعة عن أبي محمد التلعكبري عن أبي علي محمد بن همام قال كان الشريعي يكنى بأبي محمد قال هارون: وأظن اسمه كان الحسن، وكان من أصحاب أبي الحسن علي بن محمد ثم الحسن بن علي بعده عليهم السلام، وهو أول من ادعى مقاما لم يجعله الله فيه ولم يكن أهلا له، وكذب على الله وعلى حججه عليهمالسلام ونسب إليهم ما لا يليق بهم وما هم منه براء. فلعنته الشيعة وتبرأت منه وخرج توقيع الإمام عليه السلام بلعنه والبراءة منه. قال هارون: ثم ظهر منه القول بالكفر والإلحاد. قال: وكل هؤلاء المدعين إنما يكون كذبهم أولا على الإمام وأنهم وكلاؤه، فيدعون الضعفة بهذا القول إلى موالاتهم، ثم يترقى الأمر بهم إلى قول الحلاجية كما اشتهر من أبي جعفر الشلمغاني ونظرائه عليهم جميعا لعائن الله تترى.

H 368 - A group of scholars narrated to us from Abu Muhammad Talakbari on the authority of Abu Ali Muhammad Ibn Himam, saying, Shari’s patronymic was Abu Muhammad. Harun said: I think his name was Hasan and he was from the companions of Abul Hasan Ali Ibn Muhammad and then after him from the companions of Hasan Ibn Ali. He is the first to claim a position that Allah did not assign to him and he was not qualified for it. He blasphemed Allah and his Proofs (Hujjah), peace be on them, and attributed to them what is not worthy of them and they are disdainful thereof. The Shia cursed him and turned away from him in dislike. Harun says: Then words of disbelief and sacrilege were uttered by him. All such claimants, first, attribute lies to the Imam and claim that they are his representatives, calling the weak to believe in them through such pervert claims. Then they graduate up to the claims of self deification, like the words of Hallaj as expressed by Abu Ja’far Shalmaghani and his like. On all of them be the constant curse of Allah.

ومنهم محمد بن نصير النميري:

And among them Muhammad Ibn Nasir Numairi:

369- قال ابن نوح: أخبرنا أبو نصر هبة الله بن محمد قال: كان محمد بن نصير النميري من أصحاب أبي محمد الحسن بن علي عليه السلام فلما توفي أبو محمد ادعى مقام أبي جعفر محمد بن عثمان أنه صاحب إمام الزمان وادعى له البابية،وفضحه الله تعالى بما ظهر منه من الإلحاد والجهل ولعن أبي جعفر محمد بن عثمان له وتبريه منه واحتجابه عنه وادعى ذلك الأمر بعد الشريعي.

H 369 - Ibn Nuh, Abu Nasr Hibatullah Ibn Muhammad said: Muhammad Ibn Nasir Numairi was from the companions of Abu Muhammad Hasan Ibn Ali (a.s). And when Abu Muhammad was transferred to his eternal abode, Muhammad claimed the position of Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Uthman, that is, he claimed that he was the deputy of the Imam of the Age. He claimed “Babiyya,” that is, to be a gateway to the Imam. Allah disgraced and humiliated him through blasphemy and ignorance, which he manifested, and through the curse of Abu Ja’far Muhammad Ibn Uthman and his dislike and denunciation of him. He claimed this position after Shari.

370- قال أبو طالب الأنباري: لما ظهر محمد بن نصير بما ظهر لعنه أبو جعفر رضي الله عنه وتبرأ منه،فبلغه ذلك فقصد أبا جعفر رضي الله عنه ليعطف بقلبه عليه أو يعتذر إليه فلم يأذن له وحجبه ورده خائبا.

H 370 - Abu Talib Anbari says: When Muhammad Ibn Nasir manifested his heresies and blasphemy, Abu Ja’far took the oath of damnation against him and made his disdain for him known. Ibn Nasir heard that and came to Abu Ja’far to soften his heart and apologize. Abu Ja’far did not give him permission to enter, and barred and turned him away empty-handed.

371- وقال سعد بن عبد الله: كان محمد بن نصير النميري يدعي أنه رسول نبي وأن علي بن محمد عليه السلام أرسله وكان يقول بالتناسخ ويغلو في أبي الحسن عليه السلام ويقول فيه بالربوبية ويقول بالإباحة للمحارم وتحليل نكاح الرجال بعضهم بعضا في أدبارهم ويزعم أن ذلك من التواضع والإخبات والتذلل في المفعول به أنه من الفاعل إحدى الشهوات والطيبات وأن الله عز وجل لا يحرم شيئا من ذلك. وكان محمد بن موسى بن الحسن بن الفرات يقوي أسبابه ويعضده.

H 371 - Sa'ad Ibn Abdullah said: Muhammad Ibn Nusayr an-Numairi claimed that he was a messenger and a prophet, and that Ali Ibn Muhammad (a.s.) had sent him. He believed in reincarnation and exaggerated about the position of Abul Hasan (a.s.) and deified him. He believed in the permissibility of marrying blood relations of prohibited degree (Mahrams) and same sex marriage. He believed that sodomy was an act of humility, meekness and modesty on the part of the receiver and that it was an occasion of pleasure and delight for the active partner, and that Allah does not disallow any of such things. Muhammad Ibn Musa Ibn Hasan Ibn Furat supported the authenticity of these reports.

372- أخبرني بذلك عن محمد بن نصير أبو زكريا يحيى بن عبد الرحمن بن خاقان أنه رآه عيانا وغلام له على ظهره قال: فلقيته فعاتبته على ذلك فقال إن هذا من اللذات وهو من التواضع لله وترك التجبر.

H 372 - It is narrated on the authority of Muhammad Ibn Nasir Abu Zakariya Yahya Ibn Abdur Rahman Ibn Khaqan, that he clearly saw him with a boy over his back. He said: I met him and rebuked him for that. He said: “It is of the pleasures and humility for Allah and abstinence from arrogance.”

373- قـال سعد: فلمـا اعتل محمد بن نصير العلة التي توفي فيها قيل له وهو مثقل اللسان: لمن هذا الأمر من بعدك؟ فقال بلسان ضعيف ملجلج: أحمد. فلم يدروا من هو، فافترقوا بعده ثلاث فرق؛ قالت فرقة إنه أحمد ابنه، وفرقة قالت هو أحمد بن محمد بن موسى بن الفرات، وفرقة قالت إنه أحمد بن أبي الحسين بن بشر بن ��زيد، فتفرقوا فلا يرجعون إلى شي‏ء.

H 373 - Saad says: When Muhammad Ibn Nasir was inflicted by the malady in which he died, he was asked, “To whom does this order belong?” He said as his tongue was heavy, weak, and stuttering, “Ahmad.” It was not known who this Ahmad was. His followers divided into three groups after him. One group said that it was his son, Ahmad. Another maintained it was Ahmad Ibn Muhammad Ibn Musa Ibn Furat. Another group believed that it was Ahmad Ibn Abi Husain Ibn Bushr Ibn Yazid. Their group disintegrated.

And among them Ahmad Ibn Hilal Karkhi:
