The chapter of rare meanings
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن عبد الله بن القاسم، عن عبد الله بن سنان، قال: أبو عبد الله عليه السلام:لا يمين في غضب، ولا في قطيعة رحم، ولا في جبر، ولا في إكراه. قال: قلت: أصلحك الله فما الفرق بين الاكراه والجبر؟ قال: الجبر من السلطان يكون، والاكراه من الزوجة و الأب وليس ذلك بشئ.
27. We were told by Abdul-Wahid Muhammed ‘Abdous al-Attar al-Naisabouri, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Muhammed bin Qutayba, from Hamdan bin Sulayman, from Abdul-Salam bin Saleh al-Harawi, that he said: I said to al-Rida, peace be upon him: O son of Allah’s Messenger, it has been narrated from your fathers, peace be upon them, that with regards to the one who has intercourse during the Month of Ramadan or breaks the fast during it, there are three expiations. It has also been narrated of them that there is one expiation (to it), so which of the two reports shall we take? He said: With both of them. Whenever a man has intercourse in a forbidden manner or breaks the fast with a forbidden thing during the Month of Ramadan, there are three expiations upon him: to liberate a neck (in slavery); to fast for two consecutive months; and to feed sixty poor ones. Additionally, there is the fulfillment (of the missing obligation of) that day. If he had performed intercourse in a lawful manner or broken the fast by a lawful means, one expiation is upon him, as well as the fulfillment (of the missing obligation of) that day, and if he was (performing it out of being) forgetful, there is nothing upon him.
حدثنا محمد بن إبراهيم، عن أحمد بن يونس المعاذي، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد ابن سعيد الكوفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن محمد بن الأشعث، عن موسى بن إسماعيل، عن أبيه، عن جده، عن جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام قال: كان للحسن بن علي عليهما السلام صديق وكان ماجنا فتباطأ عليه أياما فجاءه يوما فقال له الحسن عليه السلام: كيف أصبحت؟ فقال: يا ابن رسول الله أصبحت بخلاف ما أحب ويحب الله ويحب الشيطان! فضحك الحسن عليه السلام ثم قال:وكيف ذاك، قال: لان الله عز وجل يحب أن أطيعه ولا أعصيه ولست كذلك، والشيطان يحب أن أعصي الله ولا أطيعه ولست كذلك، وأنا أحب أن لا أموت ولست كذلك فقام إليه رجل فقال: يا ابن رسول الله ما بالنا نكره الموت ولا نحبه؟ قال: فقال الحسن عليه السلام: لأنكم أخربتم آخرتكم وعمرتم دنياكم وأنتم تكرهون النقلة من العمران إلى الخراب.
28. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, from Hammad bin Isa, from Abdullah bin Qasem, from Abdullah bin Sinan, that he said: Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: There is no right hand (valid in promise) in the case of anger, nor in coercion, nor in compulsion. He said: I said: May Allah rectify you, then what is the difference between compulsion and coercion? He said: Coercion is from the ruler, and compulsion is from a wife and a father, and that is nothing.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى، عن سهل بن زياد، عن جعفر بن محمد الكوفي، عن عبد الله الدهقان، عن درست، عن إبراهيم بن عبد الحميد، عن أبي إبراهيم عليه السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: ألا، هل عسى رجل يكذبني وهو على حشاياه متكئ؟ قالوا: يا رسول الله ومن الذي يكذبك؟ قال: الذي يبلغه الحديث فيقول: ما قال هذا رسول الله قط، فما جاءكم عني من حديث موافق للحق فأنا قلته، وما أتاكم عني من حديث لا يوافق الحق فلم أقله ولن أقول إلا الحق.
29. We were told by Muhammed bin Ibrahim, from Ahmad bin Yunus al-Mu’adhi, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed ibn Sa’eed al-Kufi, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Muhammed bin Ash’ath, from Musa bin Isma’eel, from his father, from his grandfather, from Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, that he said: There was to Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them both, a friend, and he was an impudent, so he slackened to him for days. He then came to him one day, and Hasan, peace be upon him, said to him: How have you become? He said: O son of Allah’s Messenger, I have become to the contrary of what I like, what Allah likes and what Shaytan likes. Hasan, peace be upon him, smiled and then said: And how is that? He said: Because Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, likes that I obey Him and do not disobey him, and I am not as such. Moreover, Shaytan likes that I disobey Allah and not obey him, and I am not as such. Moreover, I would like to not die, and I am not as such. A man then stood up to him and said: O son of Allah’s Messenger, what is it with us that we dislike death and do not love it? He said: Hasan, peace be upon him, then said: Because you have ruined your (state in the) Hereafter and built this life of yours, while you dislike to be transmitted from that which is built to that which is ruined.
وبهذا الاسناد قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله. اتقوا تكذيب الله. قيل: يا رسول الله وكيف ذاك؟ قال: يقول أحدكم: قال الله، فيقول الله: كذبت لم أقله. أو يقول: لم يقل الله، فيقول الله عز وجل: كذبت قد قلته.
30. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya, from Sahl bin Ziyad, from Ja’far bin Muhammed al-Kufi, from Abdullah al-Dahqan, from Darast, from Ibrahim bin Abdul-Hameed, from Abu Ibrahim, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Alas, has it come to a man to deny me while he is leaning on his mattress? They said: O Messenger of Allah, and who would deny you? He said: The one to whom a narration reaches, and who says: «The Messenger of Allah never said this». Hence, whatever narration that reaches you of me that accords with the truth, I have said, and whatever narration that reaches you of me that does not accord with the truth, I have not said it, and I never say but the truth.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن حريز بن عبد الله، عن زرارة، قال: قال أبو جعفر عليه السلام: إياك والتحاف الصماء. قال: قلت وما الصماء؟ قال: أن تدخل الثوب من تحت جناحك فتجعله على منكب واحد.
31. With this chain of narrators, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Fear (by bewaring) the denial of Allah. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, and how is that? He said: That one of you says: «Allah said» to which Allah says: You have lied, I did not say so. Or that one says: «Allah does not say» to which Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, says: You have lied, I have certainly said so.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن سلمة بن الخطاب عن الحسين بن راشد بن يحيى، عن علي بن إسماعيل، عن عمرو بن أبي المقدام، قالت: سمعت أبا الحسن أو أبا جعفر عليهما السلام يقول في هذه الآية: " ولا يعصينك في معروف " قال: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله قال لفاطمة عليها السلام: إذا أنا مت فلا تخمشي علي وجها، ولا ترخى علي شعرا، ولا تنادي بالويل، ولا تقيمي علي نائحة. ثم قال: هذا المعروف الذي قال الله عز وجل في كتابه: " ولا يعصينك في معروف ".
32. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, from Hammad bin Isa, from Huraiz bin Abdullah, from Zurara, that he said: Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, said: Beware from wrapping in the manner of ssammaa’. He said: I said: And what is ssammaa’? That you make the cloth enter beneath your side, and so you place it on one shoulder.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل، قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن داود بن كثير الرقي قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: أيهما كان أكبر، إسماعيل أو إسحاق؟ وأيهما كان الذبيح؟ فقال: كان إسماعيل أكبر من إسحاق بخمس سنين، وكان الذبيح إسماعيل، وكانت مكة منزل إسماعيل، وإنما أراد إبراهيم أن يذبح إسماعيل أيام الموسم بمنى. قال: وكان بين بشارة الله لإبراهيم بإسماعيل وبين بشارته بإسحاق خمس سنين، أما تسمع لقول إبراهيم عليه السلام حيث يقول: " رب هب لي من الصالحين " إنما سأل الله عز وجل أن يرزقه غلاما من الصالحين، وقال في سورة الصافات: " فبشرناه بغلام حليم " يعني إسماعيل من هاجر، فقال: ففدي إسماعيل بكبش عظيم. فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ثم قال: " وبشرناه بإسحاق نبيا من الصالحين * وباركنا عليه وعلى إسحاق " يعني بذلك إسماعيل قبل البشارة بإسحاق فمن زعم أن إسحاق أكبر من إسماعيل وأن الذبيح إسحاق فقد كذب بما أنزل الله عز وجل في القرآن من نبائهما.
33. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idrees, from Salama bin Khattab, from Hussain bin Rashid bin Yahya, from Ali bin Isma’eel, from Amru bin Abi’l-Miqdam, that he said: I heard Abu’l-Hasan or Abu Ja’far, peace be upon them both, say with regards to this verse: «nor do they disobey you with regards to a good thing» (60:12). He said: Indeed, the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said to Fatima, peace be upon her: When I will die, do not slap any face for my sake, nor unstring any hair for my sake, nor call with woe, nor perform any mourning for my sake. He then said: This is the good thing about which Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, said in His Book: «nor do they disobey you with regards to a good thing». (60:12)
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن أحمد بن أشيم، عن الرضا عليه السلام قال: قلت له: جعلت فداك لم سموا العرب أولادهم بكلب ونمر وفهد وأشباه ذلك؟ قال: كانت العرب أصحاب حرب، وكانت تهول على العدو بأسماء أولادهم ويسمون عبيدهم فرجا ومباركا وميمونا وأشباه ذلك يتيمنون بها.
34. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Mahbub, from Dawud bin Kathir al-Riqqi, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: Which of the two of them was older, Isma’eel or Ishaq? And which of the two of them was the one to be slaughtered? He said: Isma’eel was older than Ishaq by five years, and the one to be slaughtered was Isma’eel. Mecca was the home of Isma’eel, and Ibrahim only intended to slaughter Isma’eel during the days of the season in Mina. He said: There were five years between Allah’s giving of glad tidings to Ibrahim about Isma’eel and between His giving of glad tidings about Ishaq. Do you not hear the saying of Ibrahim, peace be upon him, as he says: «My Lord, bestow upon me (one who is) from the righteous» (37:100)? He only asked Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, to grant him a child from the righteous. Moreover, He said in the chapter of al-Ssaffaat: «We then gave him glad tidings of a forbearing child» (37:101) meaning Isma’eel (who was) from Hajar. He said: He then sacrificed, for the sake of Isma’eel, a great sheep. Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: He then said: «And We gave him glad tidings of Ishaq, a Prophet from the righteous, and We blessed upon him and upon Ishaq.» (37:112-113) By that He meant Isma’eel before the glad tiding about Ishaq. Hence, the one who claims that Ishaq is older than Isma’eel and that the one to be slaughtered was Ishaq, has certainly denied what Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has sent down in the Qur’an with regards to their news.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن الهيثم بن أبي مسروق عن علي بن أسباط يرفعه إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن الله تبارك وتعالى يبدء بالنظر إلى زوار قبر الحسين بن علي عليهما عشية عرفة. قال: قلت: قبل نظره إلى أهل الموقف؟ قال: نعم. قلت: وكيف ذاك؟ قال: لان في أولئك أولاد زنا وليس في هؤلاء أولاد زنا.
35. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Ahmad bin Asheem, from al-Rida, peace be upon him, that he said: I said to him: May I be sacrificed for you, why did the Arabs name their sons dog , tiger , leopard and the likes of that? He said: The Arabs were people of war, and they used to frighten the enemy with the names of their children. Moreover, the used to name their slaves relief , blessed , fortunate and the likes of that, by which they sought luck.
أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن أبي سعيد الآدمي، عن الحسن بن علي بن أبي حمزة، عن أبيه، عن أبي بصير، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: إن أبا الخطاب كان يقول: إن رسول الله تعرض عليه أعمال أمته كل خميس، فقال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ليس هكذا ولكن رسول الله تعرض عليه أعمال أمته كل صباح أبرارها وفجارها فاحذروا، وهو قول الله عز وجل: " وقل اعملوا فسيرى الله عملكم ورسوله والمؤمنون " وسكت. قال أبو بصير: إنما عنى الأئمة عليهم السلام.
36. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Haitham bin Abi Masruq, from Ali bin Asbat, that he ascribed it to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: Indeed, Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, will commence by looking at the visitors of the grave of Hussain bin Ali, peace be upon them both, at the late evening of (the Day of) Arafah. He said: I said: Before He looks towards the people at the standing? He said: Yes. I said: And how is that? He said: Because among those are ones begotten through fornication, whereas there are none begotten through fornication among these.
