The chapter of rare meanings
حدثنا جعفر بن محمد بن مسرور - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا الحسين بن محمد بن عامر، عن عمه عبد الله بن عامر، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن سيف بن عميرة، عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: أدنى ما يخرج به الرجل من الايمان أن يواخي الرجل على دينه فيحصي عليه عثراته وزلاته ليعنفه بها يوما [ما].
47. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Ali bin Hakam, from Aban bin Uthman, from Habib bin Hukaim, that he said: I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the least (degree of) faithlessness, and he said: Arrogance is from it.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن القاسم بن محمد الأصبهاني، عن سليمان بن داود المنقري، عن سفيان عينة، قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: وجدت علم الناس كلهم في أربعة: أولها أن تعرف ربك، والثاني أن تعرف ما صنع بك، والثالث أن تعرف ما أراد منك، والرابع أن تعرف ما يخرجك من دينك.
48. We were told by Ja’far bin Muhammed bin Masrur, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Muhammed bin ‘Amer, from his paternal uncle, Abdullah bin ‘Amer, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Saif bin ‘Umara, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The least by which a man leaves faith is that he declares a man as his brother in religion, and then counts his unintentional mistakes and slips in order to disgrace him with them one day.
حدثنا أبي - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن أبي حمزة الثمالي، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: القلوب ثلاثة: قلب منكوس لا يعي على شئ من الخير وهو قلب الكافر، وقلب فيه نكتة سوداء فالخير والشر فيه يعتلجان فما كان منه أقوى غلب عليه، وقلب مفتوح فيه مصباح يزهر ولا يطفأ نوره إلى يوم القيامة وهو قلب المؤمن.
49. We were told by my father, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Sa’d bin Abdullah, from Qasem bin Muhammed al-Esbahani, from Sulayman bin Dawud al-Manqari, from Sufyan bin ‘Uyayna, that he said: I heard Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, say: I have the knowledge of people, all of them, in four: the first is that you know your Lord; the second is that you know what He has done to you; the third is that you know what He wants from you; and the fourth is that you know that which makes you leave your religion.
حدثنا أحمد بن محمد بن يحيى العطار، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن الحسين بن الحسن بن أبان، عن محمد بن أورمة، عن محمد بن خالد، عن هارون، عن المفضل، عن سعد الخفاف ، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال: القلوب أربعة: قلب فيه نفاق وإيمان، وقلب منكوس، وقلب مطبوع، وقلب أزهر أنور . قلت: ما لا زهر. قال: فيه كهيئة السراج، وأما المطبوع فقلب المنافق، وأما الأزهر فقلب المؤمن إن أعطاه الله عز وجل شكر، وإن ابتلاه صبر، وأما المنكوس فقلب المشرك ثم قرأ هذه الآية: " أفمن يمشي مكبا على وجهه أهدى أمن يمشي سويا على صراط مستقيم " أما القلب الذي فيه إيمان ونفاق فهم قوم كانوا بالطائف وإن أدرك أحدهم أجله على نفاقه هلك وإن أدركه على إيمانه نجا.
50. 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 Mahbub, from Abu Hamza al-Thumali, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: Hearts are (of) three (types): a capsized heart that does not comprehend anything of goodness, and that is the heart of a disbeliever; a heart in which there is a black mark, and so, good and evil are wrestling in it, and that which is the strongest will dominate it; and an open heart in which there is a lamp that radiates and whose light is not extinguished until the Day of Resurrection, and that is the heart of a believer.
حدثنا عبد الواحد بن محمد بن عبدوس النيسابوري العطار قال: حدثنا علي ابن محمد بن قتيبة قال: حدثنا حمدان بن سليمان النيسابوري، عن عبد السلام بن صالح الهروي قال: سمعت أبا الحسن علي بن موسى الرضا عليهما السلام، يقول: أفعال العباد مخلوقة. فقلت له: يا ابن رسول الله وما معنى " مخلوقة "؟ قال: مقدرة.
51. We were told by Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, that he said: We were told by my father, from Hussain bin Hasan bin Aban, from Muhammed bin Ourma, from Muhammed bin Khalid, from Harun, from Mufaddal, from Sa’d al-Khaffaf, from Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, that he said: Hearts are (of) four (types): a heart in which there is hypocrisy and faith; an overturned heart; a heart that is dispositioned; and a heart that is radiant and lightening. I said: What is the radiant? He said: Within it is like the shape of a lamp. As for the dispositioned, it is the heart of a hypocrite. As for the radiant, it is the heart of a believer; if Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, gives him, he tanks, and if He tests him, he is patient. As for the overturned, it is the heart of a polytheist. He then recited this verse: «Is the one who walks while overturned on his face, more guided, or the one who walks uprightly on a straight path?» (67:22) As for the heart in which there is faith and hypocrisy, they are a people who were in Ta’if; if the time of one of them approaches firstly to his hypocrisy, he is to perish, and if it approaches firstly to his faith, he is to be saved.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الحميري، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، قال: حدثنا الحسن بن علي بن فضال، عن عبد الرحمن بن الحجاج، عن سدير الصيرفي، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن جده عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: خلق نور فاطمة عليها السلام قبل أن تخلق الأرض والسماء.فقال بعض الناس: يا نبي الله فليست هي إنسية؟ فقال صلى الله عليه وآله: فاطمة حوراء إنسية قال: يا نبي الله وكيف هي حوراء إنسية؟ قال: خلقها الله عز وجل من نوره قبل أن يخلق آدم إذ كانت الأرواح فلما خلق الله عز وجل آدم عرضت على آدم. قيل: يا نبي الله وأين كانت فاطمة؟ قال: كانت في حقة تحت ساق العرش، قالوا: يا نبي الله فما كان طعامها؟ قال: التسبيح، والتهليل، والتحميد. فلما خلق الله عز وجل آدم و أخرجني من صلبه أحب الله عز وجل أن يخرجها من صلبي جعلها تفاحة في الجنة و أتاني بها جبرئيل عليه السلام فقال لي: السلام عليك ورحمة الله وبركاته يا محمد، قلت: وعليك السلام ورحمة الله حبيبي جبرئيل. فقال: يا محمد إن ربك يقرئك السلام. قلت: منه السلام وإليه يعود السلام. قال: يا محمد إن هذه تفاحة أهداها الله عز وجل إليك من الجنة فأخذتها وضممتها إلى صدري. قال: يا محمد يقول الله جل جلاله: كلها. ففلقتها فرأيت نورا ساطعا ففزعت منه فقال: يا محمد مالك لا تأكل؟ كلها ولا تخف، فإن ذلك النور المنصورة في السماء وهي في الأرض فاطمة، قلت: حبيبي جبرئيل، ولم سميت في السماء " المنصورة " وفي الأرض " فاطمة "؟ قال: سميت في الأرض " فاطمة " لأنها فطمت شيعتها من النار وفطم أعداءها عن حبها، وهي في السماء " المنصورة " وذلك قول الله عز وجل: " يومئذ يفرح المؤمنون * بنصر الله ينصر من يشاء " يعني نصر فاطمة لمحبيها.
52. Narrated to us Muhammad bin Musa bin al-Mutawakkil (ra), who said: Narrated to us Abdullah bin Ja'far al-Humayri, from Ya'qub bin Yazid, who said: Narrated to us al-Hasan bin Ali bin Fudail, from Abdul Rahman bin al-Hajjaj, from Sudeir al-Sayrafi, from al-Sadiq Ja'far bin Muhammad (as), from his father (as), from his grandfather (as) that Rasulullah (sw) said: "The light of Fatimah (as) was created before the creation of the heavens and the earth." Some people said, "O Prophet of Allah, isn't she a human being?" He (sw) said, "Fatimah is a heavenly, human being." They asked, "O Prophet of Allah, how is she a heavenly, human being?" He said, "Allah, the Almighty, created her from His light before creating Adam when the souls were created. When Allah created Adam, the souls were presented to him." It was asked, "O Prophet of Allah, where was Fatimah at that time?" He said, "She was in a special place beneath the Throne." They asked, "O Prophet of Allah, what was her sustenance?" He said, "Her sustenance was glorification, praise, and exaltation." When Allah, the Almighty, created Adam and took me out from his loins, Allah loved to bring her out from my loins, so He made her a fruit in Paradise. Gabriel came to me with it and said, "Peace be upon you, O Muhammad, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings." I said, "And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah and His blessings, O beloved Gabriel." He said, "O Muhammad, your Lord sends you greetings." I said, "From Him is peace, and to Him returns peace." He said, "O Muhammad, this is a fruit that Allah, the Almighty, has sent to you from Paradise." So, I took it and placed it on my chest. He said, "O Muhammad, Allah, the Majestic and Mighty, says, 'Eat it all.' So, I split it, and I saw a radiant light. I was startled by it, and he said, 'O Muhammad, why do you not eat? Eat all of it and do not be afraid. This light is victorious in the heavens, and on earth, it is Fatimah.'" I asked, "O beloved Gabriel, why is she called 'Al-Mansurah' in the heavens and 'Fatimah' on earth?" He said, "She is called 'Fatimah' on earth because she protects her followers from the fire and keeps her enemies away from her love. In the heavens, she is called 'Al-Mansurah,' and that is what Allah, the Almighty, says, 'On that day, the believers will rejoice in Allah's victory. He grants victory to whom He wills.' It means the victory of Fatimah for her lovers."
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل، قال: حدثنا محمد بن يحيى العطار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن عثمان بن عيسى، عن أبي أيوب الخزاز قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: لما أنزلت هذه الآية على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله: " من جاء بالحسنة فله خير منها " قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: اللهم زدني فأنزل الله تبارك وتعالى: " من جاء بالحسنة فله عشر أمثالها " فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: اللهم زدني، فأنزل الله عز وجل عليه " من ذا الذي يقرض الله قرضا حسنا فيضاعفه له أضعافا كثيرة " فعلم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآلهأن الكثير من الله عز وجل لا يحصى وليس له منتهى.
53. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ya’qoub bin Yazid, that he said: We were told by Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal, from Abdul-Rahman bin Hajjaj, from Sudair al-Sayrafi, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, from his grandfather, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: The light of Fatima, peace be upon her, was created before the earth and Heaven were created. Some of the people then said: O Prophet of Allah, is she not a human? He, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Fatima is a human nymph. He said: O Prophet of Allah, and how is she a human nymph? He said: Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, created her from His Light before He created Adam, while the souls were. When Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, had created Adam, she was presented before Adam. It was said: O Prophet of Allah, and where was Fatima? He said: She was in a container beneath the leg of the Throne. They said: O Prophet of Allah, what was her food? He said: Glorification, declaring that there is no god but Allah, and praising. When Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, created Adam and brought me out of his backbone, Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, liked for Him to bring her out of my backbone. He then made her an apple in Paradise, and it was brought to me by Jibra’eel, peace be upon him, and he said to me: Peace be upon you, and so be the mercy of Allah and His blessings, O Muhammed. I said: And upon you be peace and the mercy and blessings of Allah, my beloved Jibra’eel. He said: O Muhammed, indeed, your Lord recites peace unto you. I said: From Him is the peace and to Him returns the peace. He said: O Muhammed, indeed, this is an apple whom Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, has gifted to you from Paradise. I then took it and took it close to my chest. He said: O Muhammed, Allah, Glorified be His Glory, says: Eat it. So I cut it open and I saw a brilliant light, and I was frightened by it, to which e said: O Muhammed, what is it with you that you do not eat? Eat it and do not fear, for indeed, that light is the Supported one in Heaven, and on earth she is to be Fatima. I said: My beloved Jibra’eel, and why was she named the Supported in Heaven, and Fatima on earth? He said: She was named Fatima on earth because she separated [1] her party from the Fire, and her enemies were separated [2] from her love. She is the Supported in Heaven, and that is the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «On that day, the believers will rejoice, with the victory from Allah; He supports whomever He wishes.» (30:4-5) It means the support of Fatima to those who lover her.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد اليقطيني، عن أبي الحسن علي بن يحيى، عن علي بن مروك الطائي، عن أبي عبد الله، عن آبائه عليهم السلام قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: أي عرى الايمان أوثق؟ فقالوا: الله ورسوله أعلم، فقال بعضهم: " الصلاة " وقال بعضهم: " الزكاة " وقال بعضهم: " الصوم " وقال بعضهم: " الحج والعمرة " وقال بعضهم: " الجهاد " فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لكل ما قلتم فضل وليس به، ولكن أوثق عرى الايمان الحب في الله، والبغض في الله، وتولى أولياء الله، والتبري من أعداء الله عز وجل.
54. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Yahya al-‘Attar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Uthman bin Isa, from Abu Ayub, the silk maker, that he said: I heard Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, say: When this verse was sent down unto the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family: «The one who brings a good deed, will have better than it» (27:89) the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: O Allah, increase me. Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, then sent down unto him: «Who is it who will loan to Allah a good loan, so that He may multiply it to him many times over?» (2:245) The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, then knew that abundance from Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He, cannot be counted and has no end.
حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، عن هارون بن مسلم، عند مسعدة بن زياد، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه عليهما السلام أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله قال: من أطاع الله فقد ذكر الله وإن قلت صلاته وصيامه وتلاوته ومن عصى الله فقد نسي الله وإن كثرت صلاته وصيامه وتلاوته للقرآن.
55. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Muhammed bin Isa bin ‘Ubaid al-Yaqteeni, from Abu’l-Hasan, Ali bin Yahya, from Ali bin Maruk al-Ta’i, from Abu Abdillah, from his fathers, peace be upon them, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: Which of the ropes of faith is the most solid? They said: Allah and His Messenger are more knowledgeable. Some of them said (it is) prayer, some others said (it is) alms tax, some others said (it is) fasting, some others said (it is) pilgrimage and Umrah, and some others said (it is) striving. The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, then said: To all that which you said, there is virtue, but it is not with it. However, the most solid of the ropes of faith is love for the sake of Allah, hatred for the sake of Allah, befriending the Allies of Allah and dissociation from the enemies of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He.
حدثنا محمد بن موسى بن المتوكل، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم بن هاشم، عن أبيه، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن إبراهيم بن زياد قال: قال الصادق عليه السلام: كذب من زعم أنه يعرفنا وهو متمسك بعروة غيرنا.
56. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed ibn Hasan al-Saffar, from Harun bin Muslim, from Mas’ada bin Ziyad, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, from his father, peace be upon them both, that the Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: The one who obeys Allah has certainly remembered Allah, even if his prayers, fasting and recitation (of the Qur’an) are little. The one who disobeys Allah has certainly forgot Allah, even if his prayers, fasting and recitation of the Qur’an are much.
