The chapter of rare meanings
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن يعقوب يزيد، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن أبي المغرا، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: الهبة جائزة قبضت أولم تقبض، قسمت أولم تقسم، وإنما أراد الناس النحل فأخطؤا والنحل لا تجوز حتى تقبض.
37. My father, may Allah grant him mercy, said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Abu Sa’eed al-Adami, from Hasan bin Ali bin Abi Hamza, from his father, from Abu Baseer, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: Indeed, Abu’l-Khattab used to say: Indeed, for the Messenger of Allah, the deeds of his nation are presented to him every Thursday. Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: It is not as such. Rather, for the Messenger of Allah, the deeds of his nation are presented to him every morning, from their good ones and dissolute ones. Thus, beware, and that is the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «And say: Do, for Allah will see your deed, and so will His Messenger and the believers.» (9:105) He then became silent. Abu Baseer said: He only meant the Imams, peace be upon them.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن ابن أبي عمير، [عن بعض أصحابنا] عن أبي سعيد المكاري، قال: كنا عند أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فذكر زيد ومن خرج معه، فهم بعض أصحاب المجلس أن يتناوله فانتهره أبو عبد الله عليه السلام وقال: مهلا؟ ليس لكم أن تدخلوا فيما بينا إلا بسبيل خير إنه لم تمت نفس منا إلا وتدركه السعادة قبل أن تخرج نفسه ولو بفواق ناقة. قال: قلت: وما فواق ناقة؟ قال: حلابها.
38. 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 Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Abu’l-MIghra, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: A gift is permissible, regardless if it is taken or not taken, divided or not divided. People, however, only wanted grants, and so, they were mistaken. A grant is not permissible until it is taken.
حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور، قال: حدثنا الحسين بن محمد بن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، عن الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن ثعلبة، عن عمر بن أبان الرفاعي، عن الصباح بن سيابة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: إن الرجل ليحبكم وما يدري ما تقولون فيدخله الله الجنة، وإن الرجل ليبغضكم وما يدري ما تقولون فيدخله الله النار، وإن الرجل منكم ليملأ صحيفته من غير عمل، قلت: وكيف يكون ذاك؟ قال يمر بالقوم ينالون منا فإذا رأوه قال بعضهم لبعض: إن هذا الرجل من شيعتهم، ويمر بهم الرجل من شيعتنا فينهزونه ويقولون فيه فيكتب الله عز وجل بذلك حسنات حتى تملأ صحيفته من غير عمل.
39. 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 Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from some of our companions, from Abu Sa’eed, the lessor, that he said: We were at the place of Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, and it was mentioned Zaid and those who went out (in rebellion) along with him. Some from the people of the congregation intended to (verbally) offend him, but Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, repelled him and said: At ease! It is not (permissible) for you to enter into what is between us, except through a path of goodness. Indeed, no soul from us dies, except that happiness catches up to him before his soul goes out, even if by (the amount of) a hiccup of a camel. He said: And what is the hiccup of a camel? He said: Its milk.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسين بن سعيد، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن حماد بن عثمان، عن حفص الكناسي، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: ما أدنى ما يكون به العبد مؤمنا؟ قال: يشهد أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمدا عبده ورسوله، ويقر بالطاعة و يعرف إمام زمانه، فإذا فعل ذلك فهو مؤمن.
40. We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Masrur, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Muhammed bin ‘Amer, from his paternal uncle, Abdullah bin ‘Amer, from Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Tha’laba, from Umar bin Aban al-Rufa’I, from Sabah bin Siyaba, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: Indeed, a man is surely to love you while he does not know what you say, and Allah will make him enter Paradise, and indeed, a man is surely to hate you while he does not know what you say, and Allah will make him enter the Fire, and indeed, a man from you is surely to fill his journal without (having performed any) deed. I said: And how would that be? He said: He would pass by people while while they are (verbally) offending us, and when they see him, some of them will say to others: Indeed, this man is of their party , and a man from our party will pass by them, and so, they will push him and speak (negatively) of him. Then, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, will prescribe good deeds for that until his journal is filled without (him having performed a) deed.

He said: That he testifies that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammed is His Servant and Messenger, and that he acknowledges obedience and knows the Imam of his era. If he does that, he is a believer.

He said: That he innovates a thing, and then befriends on the basis of it and dissociates from those who oppose it.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن محمد بن علي، عن محمد بن أسلم، عن الحسن ابن محمد الهاشمي، عن عمر بن أذينة، عن أبان بن أبي عياش، عن سليم بن قيس الهلالي، عن أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام قال: قلت له: ما أدنى ما يكون به الرجل ضالا؟ قال: أن لا يعرف من أمر الله بطاعته، وفرض ولايته، وجعله حجته في أرضه، وشاهده على خلقه. قلت: فمن هم يا أمير المؤمنين؟ فقال: الذين قرنهم الله بنفسه ونبيه فقال: " يا أيها الذين آمنوا أطيعوا الله وأطيعوا الرسول وأولي الأمر منكم " قال: فقبلت رأسه وقلت: أوضحت لي وفرجت عني وأذهبت كل شك كان في قلبي.

He said: 'That he does not recognize the one whom Allah has commanded to obey, whose allegiance He has made obligatory, and whom He has made His proof on His earth and His witness over His creation.' I asked: 'Who are they, O Commander of the Faithful?' He said: 'They are those whom Allah has associated with Himself and His Prophet, saying: "O you who believe, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you." [4:59]' I kissed his head and said: You have clarified for me, relieved me, and removed all doubt that was in my heart.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى بإسناد متصل إلى الصادق جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام، أنه قال: أدنى ما يجزي من الدعاء بعد المكتوبة أن يقول: " اللهم صلى على محمد وآل محمد، اللهم إني أسألك من كل خير أحاط به علمك، وأعوذ بك من كل شر أحاط به علمك، اللهم إني أسألك عافيتك في أموري كلها وأعوذ بك من خزى الدنيا وعذاب الآخرة ".
